Tour of Margaret River 2017: Where the professionals and amateurs share the road
by Andrew Amos
The Tour of Margaret River centred around the tiny Western Australian town of Nannup in Western Australia's Margaret River region is no ordinary race. For a start, the key is not individual glory but getting your team to the top of the results table. Secondly, its a pro-am, where you'll find some of the world's top cyclists like Marianne Vos sharing the road with even the newest of amateur racers. To make the interaction even stronger, WorldTour cyclists like Vos, Annemiek van Vleuten and Luke Durbridge, are slotted into the amateur teams.
To see how the Tour of Margaret River unfolded, sit back and scroll through the photo gallery from three days of racing in the popular wine region.
Friday, Stage 1: Into the fire
On a hot day in Nannup, the teams started off with a 42 kilometre time trial. Many struggled to stay together in the heat along the undulating Mowen Road, with rider's cycling computers registering temperatures of over 40°C. The first squad to start, the Veris Mens Development Team, set a mark that was tough to beat. They stopped the clock at 1h 04'29" with an average speed of 39.1 kilometres an hour. In the end, the only team that threatened to trump the time was the Midland Cycle Alpha Team but they failed to finish fast enough up the final 2.5 kilometre climb back into Nannup.
In the women's, Holden Women's Racing set out as the final team and never looked like falling behind. Ahead at every point, they set a time of 1h 08'08". The squad – which included guest rider Emma Pooley – were over seven minutes ahead of the second placed team, The Leftovers.
You can't bring some of the best riders and not have the commentary to match.

Finished, and probably about to look for some shade. It was hot out there!
No surprise that Holden Women's Racing snagged the women's victory, particularly with former world time trial champion Emma Pooley on board.

Saturday, Stage 2: Finding form
Saturday's stage was 50.8 kilometres from Nannup to Greenbushes, with a steep climb out of Nannup and a gradual climb into Greenbushes before a downhill sprint in the town centre.
In the women's event, it was once again Holden dominating the rest of the field. Kimberley Wells led the attacked for the Australian outfit, just eight kilometres into the stage. After Wells was caught four kilometres later, team mate Lisen Hockings jumped off the front. With South Perth Rouleurs leading a strong chase, Holden guest rider Emma Pooley capitalised on the increased momentum in the bunch and bridged to Hockings.
On the final climb into Greenbushes, Grace Brown took off. Holden teammate Shannon Malseed followed shortly after, launching from the top of the climb with 500 metres to go. Emma Pooley got the win on the line, while Hockings finished with Pooley for second, Brown third 1'13" behind and Malseed fourth 2'44" back. "It was pretty hot out there today, and the final climb was brutal," said Pooley, "but I'm just relieved that the day is done."
In the men's, Bradley Linfield – rated as one of Australia's best junior prospects before being struck down by illness – refound some form. Linfield took out Stage 2 on Saturday while his Melo Velo team also took out the stage win in the team's classification to jump from sixth to first.
An early break got away just off the back of the first climb up the Brockman Highway. Linfield was one of the first riders on the move, and was joined by his compatriots. This group included Linfield, Brian Sing (Santic), Lewis McCrea (Midland Alpha), David Hind (Dome Coffees) and Michael Kent (Pedal Mafia). They quickly distanced the bunch, and the break was reduced to five just before the penultimate Kindalee Hill.
As the riders were rounding the final couple of kilometers up into Greenbushes, Linfield made his move. Coming into the final corner with 200 metres to go, there was daylight between him and the chasing four. Linfield had enough time to salute the Greenbushes crowd before taking his team's first win of the week. "The boys have only been together for 2 weeks before this race, so any result is a good result," Linfield said at the finish.

Sunday, Stage 3 & 4: A hilltop finish and a final time trial
Sunday's double header saw the riders tackle a 71 kilometre stage into Balingup with a hilltop finish, before a return leg 42 kilometre team time trial to Nannup. Once again, a break got away early out towards Cundinup as the larger teams wanted to threaten Melo Velo. The peloton sat up, not willing to chase down the bunch with a 42km team time trial still to do on the day. The break including two of Linfield's Melo Velo team mates Henry Morley and Tony Doherty, was thinned out on the road to Balingup by Matthew Champtaloup (Santic), pushing hard for points.
There were six leading riders at the base of the Mur du Hay: Kalma, Champtaloup, Morley, Doherty, Dome Coffees' Jarrad Anderson and Veris' Brett Stapleton. The group stormed up the early steeper slopes of the climb, dropping each rider one by one until it was only Champtaloup and Kalma. Rounding the final corner with 100 metres to go, Kalma launched off ahead of Champtaloup and took the win on the Queen stage of the race. However, with Morley and Doherty getting third and fourth respectively, Melo Velo extended their points lead over the rest of the teams heading into the final team time trial.
For the women, an early crash in Cundinup disrupted the bunch. However, for the Holden Women's team, it was business as usual. Attacking from the bunch to open up the legs, Holden led charge after charge while South Perth Rouleurs and Joondalup Cycle City kept on a heavy chase. As the riders approached the Mur du Hay, Grace Brown and Lisen Hockings went up the road, with the former distancing the bunch to take another solo victory for Holden. Emma Pooley and Shannon Malseed rounded out another 1-2-3-4 for Holden, again showing their dominance in the women's division of the race.

Never a bad time for a wheelie.
In the final team time trial, Veris, who won Stage 1, were chased down by Midland Alpha in under six kilometres. Dome Coffees reached Midland Alpha before ten kilometres. From there, the two trains kept chasing and over taking each other, before Midland Alpha finally cracked. Perth team Santic GDT Racing, spurred on by Champtaloup after his Stage 3 performance, found a new gear on the winding Balingup-Nannup Road.
Overtaking Veris Men's Development and almost catching Unicorn Racing, the Perth outfit beat the Dome Coffees team by 6 seconds to take the stage win. Santic also won the team classification after Melo Velo once again faltered in the time trial. Champtaloup, having gained the most individual points, claimed the champions jersey for the Open Division. "I wasn't expecting the win," said Champtaloup, "I just want to thank the team for their efforts – after all, it's a team race."
In the women's category, Holden stormed past the remnants of many open division teams to take a decisive victory once again. Running with five riders after Kimberly Wells retired, the team still dominated with Shannon Malseed leading the Holden charge. With four stage victories in four days, the Holden squad won the team classification, with Grace Brown winning the best individual rider category. "It's always a pleasure riding with these girls" said Brown.
Veris delivered the win in the first time trial, but not the last.
Four stages done. Time to celebrate!
Holden were the clear winners in the women's category, while Santic took out the cup in a closer battle in the men's.

The essential maintenance job for the DIYer, changing the oil in a V8 Vantage is a straight-forward and easy task that isn't much different than on a "normal" car. But it is a little more complicated because the car has a dry sump oil system. There's only one filter made specifically for the V8 Vantage. Yes, there are other filters that fit, but there's no guarantee they won't explode – the V8 Vantage's oil filter has an internal bypass spring with a very high pressure rating that other filters don't have. I've tried getting custom filters made, but it's entirely cost-prohibitive. Luckily, I've got complete oil change packages ready to go in my online store.
You have a few options for oil. I discuss them in this blog post. What you use is entirely up to you, but I'd suggest ordering an extra bottle or two of oil to keep on hand so you can top up as needed between oil changes.
*1 These o-rings are only used on the 4.3L V8. The 4.7L V8 has a different design that has an extra drain plug, but no bypass filters. The difference is reflected in Step 5, which is different for the 4.3L and 4.7L engines.
*2 These are optional but might come in handy if you want or need to use them.
Get the car up on jack stands, or use a lift.
Remove the oil cap and set it aside, then use the T30 and T40 torx bits to remove the front undertray.
Use the 13mm socket to remove the reservoir drain plug. Oil will drain out (this is the main drain point and you'll get the most oil from here). Once the oil has stopped draining, clean the drain point and reinstall the drain plug.
Remove the oil filter (use an oil filter wrench if needed) and discard that oil filter. More oil will drain out. Put a tiny dab of oil on the rubber gasket in the new oil filter and spread it around the surface. You only need enough so the rubber isn't bone-dry. This will keep the rubber from binding while you install the oil filter. Once the oil has stopped draining, clean the drain point and install a new oil filter.
Use the 13mm socket to remove the sump plug and discard that sump plug. More oil will drain out. Once the oil has finished draining, wipe the drain point clean and install a new sump plug.
Use the T30 torx bit to remove the two bolts securing the cover of the first oil bypass filter, then set aside the cover. Be careful doing this, as these bolts are notorious for seizing, then stripping when you try to loosen them. I had to use a Dremel to cut across the head of two of the four torx bolts in order to remove them.
Note: I supply a bolt with my oil change packages to remove the bypass filters. All you have to do is thread the bolt into the center of the bypass filter, then use a pair of pliers to clamp onto the bolt and wiggle the bypass filter while pulling it out (I show this in my video above).
Remove the o-ring from the bypass filter and discard it. Clean the filter and install a new o-ring. The oil should be done draining by now, so wipe the drain point clean and reinstall the filter.
Note: You can reuse the old torx bolts for the bypass filter covers, but these are prone to seizing. My oil change package includes hex bolts to replace the torx bolts. The hex bolts don't seize and strip like the torx bolts do, but their use is entirely optional.
Repeat the above for the second bypass filter, located about 1-ft rearward from the first bypass filter. Once finished, recheck each drain point (reservoir drain plug, oil filter, sump plug, and two bypass filters) to ensure they're secure and won't leak.
Use the 13mm socket to remove the sump plug and discard that sump plug. More oil will drain out. Once the oil has finished draining, wipe the drain point clean and install a new sump plug. Repeat for the second and third sump plugs.
Add 9.5L of oil to the oil reservoir.
Note: I usually add 9L, then run the engine for 20 seconds (with the oil cap in place), check the level, and then add the rest of the oil as needed. I do this because there may be residual oil left in the system and adding the full 9.5L capacity may overfill it.
Double check that none of the drain points under the car are leaking, then reinstall the front undertray.

Advocacy Alert! New! Ask Senators to sign Dear Appropriator letters for FY19 LSTA & IAL, #FundLibraries
Tags: advocacy, Advocacy Alert, Appropriations, Budget, FY2019, IAL, Innovative Approaches to Literacy, Library Services and Technology Act, LSTA
April 9th Update: Senator Cardin has still not signed on. The deadline for signatures is Wednesday, April 11th. Maryland stands to lose $2.9 million in LSTA Grants to States. Please call or email Senator Cardin today!
April 5th Update: Senator Van Hollen has signed on! Please take a moment to thank him. Senator Cardin still has not signed on, but did sign both letters last year.
This is a new request for action on the FY19 budget. There are now Dear Appropriator letters circulating in the Senate that ask Senators to preserve at least $210 million in federal funding for libraries, including the Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) and Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL). Although the President's budget proposal recommends the elimination of most federal funding for libraries, Congress has the ability to restore funding and they are currently working out the details of the FY19 budget. Getting enough signatures is key because it demonstrates the importance of and support for preserving library funding.
Neither of Maryland's Senators have signed on yet. Because Senator Van Hollen serves on the Appropriations Committee, he may not sign a letter to himself. However, it is still important to contact both Senators to ask for their support. Last year, both Senators signed onto both letters. Information about how LSTA and IAL funds are used in Maryland, including updated 2017 information about LSTA funds, is available on the Engage site. Visit the letter tracker for up-to-date information about who has signed on; click on the name to see complete information.
See the ALA Action Center for more details and a links to send email or tweet the Senators. Thanks in advance for your advocacy!
Advocacy Alert! New! Ask Your Rep to sign Dear Appropriator letters for LSTA & IAL, #FundLibraries
Published March 7, 2018	advocacy , Federal Leave a Comment
March 15th Update: We're almost there! Here are the results so far:
Signed neither letter: Harris, Hoyer
Signed LSTA letter only, not IAL: Brown, Cummings, Ruppersberger
Signed both LSTA and IAL letters: Delaney, Raskin, Sarbanes – Please use Engage to thank them!
This is a new request for action on the FY19 budget. Although the President's budget proposal recommends the elimination of most federal funding for libraries, Congress has the ability to restore funding and they are currently working out the details of the FY19 budget. There are now Dear Appropriator letters circulating in the House that ask Representatives to preserve at least $210 million in federal funding for libraries, including the Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) and Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL). Getting enough signatures is key because it demonstrates the importance of and support for preserving library funding.
None of Maryland's Representatives have signed on yet. Because Representatives Harris and Ruppersberger both serve on the Appropriations Committee, it is unlikely that they will sign a letter to themselves. However, it is still important to contact them to ask for their support because they can choose to include LSTA and IAL in their list of funding priorities. As the Minority Whip, Representative Hoyer also typically does not sign onto letters, but it is just as important to let him know about our funding needs. Visit the letter tracker for up-to-date information about who has signed on; click on the name to see complete information.
The deadline to sign on is March 19th. Last year, Brown, Cummings, Delaney, Raskin and Sarbanes signed onto both the LSTA and IAL letters. Ruppersberger included LSTA and IAL on his list of funding priorities. Only Harris and Hoyer did not sign on.

Will Russian Military Build Up In Middle East Lead To Gog/Magog War?
Russia has carried out its first air strikes in Syria shortly after receiving an official request of help from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and approval from the Russian parliament authorizing Vladimir Putin to send military troops into Syria.
Similar to the slow mission creep in the Ukraine, Russia's rapid deployment to Syria for the first time in three decades is a far cry from the earlier excuse that Russia was only providing weapons and training to help the Syrian government army combat ISIS.
Russia has sent more than two dozen fighter aircraft, attack helicopters, surface-to-air missile defense systems and hundreds of troops to its only naval facility outside the former Soviet Union in the Syrian port of Tartus. However, new satellite images suggest two new military bases may be in the works to host Russian troops which suggest a much-expanded presence.
Russia has defended her actions as part of its national interests (Russia claims hundreds of its citizens are in Syria helping ISIS and could return home as a threat) and that it would only use its air force to strike ISIS. This is already being contradicted by the French Defense Minister who claims that the Russian strikes were in the Western part of the country where ISIS militants are not based and new reports suggest that the air strikes hit an area primarily held by anti-Assad rebels who are backed by the Central Intelligence Agency.
Russia has as much motivation to hit other rebel groups as it does ISIS in order to keep Assad in power and keep US supported groups from expanding their influence and reach. Syria's main Western-backed opposition leader, Khaled Khoja, president of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, has already called Russia's military involvement in the region an "invasion".
These actions will have important repercussions for US policy in Syria and may present the US with no other option but to include Assad in any final political settlement. US allies Jordan and Turkey who were considering their own coordinated actions with the US to set up a buffer and no-fly zones in Syria to protect their borders will no doubt take a step back due to any increased tension with Russia.
Perhaps most worrisome for the US is a conflict of unintended consequences. Despite talks of coordination between the US and Russia, the way in which Russia warned the US of the air strikes and the US response seems to portray the exact opposite. A three-star Russian general was sent to the US embassy in Baghdad one hour before the attacks to give notice and warn the Americans to stay out of Syrian airspace. However, the US declined to change any of their missions and proceeded as usual.
The potential for an accidental exchange of fire will grow as each side vies to assert its authority in the region.
Israel is also greatly concerned that Russian actions will endanger its ability to strike Hezbollah targets in Syria and Lebanon who frequently use the conflict to transfer arms from Iran. However, like the US, Israel's defense Minister has stressed Israel's right to freedom of action over Syrian airspace when it felt its national security interests were threatened, including a specific warning that Israel will not tolerate Iranian troops near its border.
The scenarios for this crisis to spiral out of control are numerous and some Bible prophecy experts believe could be setting the stage for two important prophecies found in the Bible.
In Ezekiel 38, the prophet Ezekiel warned of a future war known as the war of "Gog and Magog" in which the people of Magog and their leader Gog will lead a coalition of nations (including Persia/Iran) to attack Israel.
Many Bible teachers believe historical records point to Russia as the descendants of the people of Magog which would seem to confirm Ezekiel's warning that this invasion would be led from the people of the "far north." Russia is the farthest country directly north of Israel. Prophecy scholars watch with fascination as Russia returns to the Middle East after a thirty-year absence and the positioning of its troops ever closer to Israel.
The 2nd prophecy is found in Isaiah 17 in which the prophet Isaiah warns that in the end times Damascus (the capital of Syria) would become a ruinous heap, never to be inhabited again (which suggests chemical or even nuclear confrontation).
Both of these Biblical prophecies appear to have just hit the fast forward button.

Questions, and nothing but
No, the answer about how to change the world cannot lie in words, slogans, nor, more crucially, be obvious. Sticking to principles, as important as that is, shall not suffice, nor shall convictions that prompt action. Actions can be reckless, self-absorbed, and unconscious – in the same manner in which prayer is frequently practised.

Nothing but questions? Not quite so, because the values that humans have adopted, and by which they reason, remain intact. Without values, one might make do with a humiliating reality, accepting it as "reality", that is, incontestable. The latter is often the easiest and most common of assumed approaches, but is wrong by all accounts. It is wrong because, to begin with, there's realism, which has demonstrated that abysmal declines are often followed by bright revivals. Countless examples in our region and worldwide attest to that, both nowadays and in the past. There's thus no reason for the future not to follow suit. Then there's "ethics" (for lack of a better term), which renders tolerating injustices and misery an appalling act.
In turn, ethics bring forth a third of these values: willpower. Without willpower, for instance, the present Palestinian generation, almost 75 years into the Nakba, would have given up and surrendered. Rather than surrender, however, they have risen up and resisted time and again, collectively and individually (see Mohammed El Kurd UN General Assembly speech and the resilience of Sheikh Jarrah residents). And here I've intentionally chosen Palestinians for an example, not only to annoy the cynics and collaborators out there (be they aware of their collaboration or not), but also because the Palestinian situation is the most horrendous. It is deliberately engineered to expose such a level of blatant injustice and sweeping complicity. And while there absolutely are multiple and growing forms of global misery, where entire communities are subjected to persecution, exploitation, and repression, and where that criminal, profiteering, and power-seeking disregard for the future of humanity proliferates – including the destruction of both nature and climate, creating disasters, famines, and forced migrations – Palestine remains a unique case.
Jerusalem: When Society Rises Against Colonial Catastrophe
Notably, having recourse to such fundamental values is no cure for confusion, anxiety, or doubt. And yet, they're essential to bring about that vital, necessary, and desired change; else these values would have been pointless, or possibly meaningful only in instances of running individual and family life, which, in itself, is becoming increasingly difficult.
That necessary change would grant people their basic human rights and enable a dignified life in every sense. It would also prevent slipping back into tyranny, whatever its façade may be, which is where many successful revolutions have, in fact, ended up. And by the way, the litanies that the idle, or those who are used to defeat, recite is not enough (which is a real problem, even for those who reject such defeats, just as it is for those who believe themselves to be "revolutionaries"). No, the answer cannot lie in words, slogans, nor, more crucially, be obvious. Sticking to principles, as important as that is, shall not suffice at all, nor shall even convictions that prompt action. Actions can be reckless, self-absorbed, and unconscious – in the same manner in which prayer is frequently practised. Prayer is neither kneeling or movements that the body performs, the charms that the tongue declaims, nor fear of punishment, swiftly forgotten before plunging into sin again – which is the case with all religions.
Such prayers are meaningless, unless considered a form of submission to a sacerdotal system (of any religion) to entrench its influence and reach. Prayer does not improve human behaviour, viewpoints, nor does it deter from deadly sins, greatest of which is the injustice inflicted by humans on their fellow humans.
Authoritarianism, economic liberalization, and the roots of the 2011 uprisings
The young men and women of this region – and who make up the vast majority of the population – have led at least two major uprisings in less than ten years, interspersed by multiple acts of resistance, all throughout the region. What followed the events of 2011 is terrifying; it is still happening in many places, or at least its implications are in effect still. What's happening now, in the aftermath of 2019, is frustrating, and is happening still in Lebanon, Iraq, Algeria, Tunisia, and Sudan. This is not for lack of courage, sacrifice, even self-sacrifice, or lack of will or determination. It is said, however, that the counterrevolution can be explained by lack of organised action, agendas, and plans among the protesters who led the uprisings. It is said that this here is the forces in power getting ready to commit unimaginable atrocities, destroying communities to maintain power in the hands of a few, who have turned into a mob of looters and plunderers. It is said that regional and global "balances" are going through "turbulence", where all the familiar concepts and rules have collapsed, which has enabled the forces in power to intervene. Their intervention, it is said, has become all too easy with "globalisation" and chaos, and, is carried out to thwart change, or to tailor change to meet their own interests. And all that is certainly common sense.
And yet, perhaps the defect lies elsewhere, well beyond such considerations. Perhaps it lies in the fact that the world, along with all its equations, has completely changed, while we continue to follow the same old mental map to make sense of the world, even if with a few but inadequate adjustments. Perhaps a real and unhurried reflection on that change, as individuals and communities, could help us feel our way through reality, in depth, as it really is, and understand its dynamics. Perhaps it is then that we could explore this new world that unfolds before us (and, incidentally, threatens us with demise). That way, we'd be able to see what lies between us and that world, what we must do, and how; for "the path reveals itself as we walk it" and what's required today is to "invent, act, and prove movement by walking". And so, until then, all questions shall indeed remain open.

Néstor F. Marqués (Segovia, 1991) es un arqueólogo español especializado en la tecnología aplicada al patrimonio. Su trabajo tecnológico se compagina con la investigación histórica y arqueológica y la docencia. Es conocido por su labor divulgadora a través del proyecto Antigua Roma al Día.

Trayectoria
En 2013 se graduó en arqueología en la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona con premio extraordinario y cursó un Máster en Arqueología del Mediterráneo en la antigüedad en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Sus primeras investigaciones se centraron en la numismática romana, especialmente en el ámbito provincial, llegando a descubrir una emisión de moneda inédita acuñada en la ceca de Segovia.

Entre los años 2015 y 2016 colaboró con José María Luzón Nogué para crear el Laboratorio de Humanidades Digitales (LHD) de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, un espacio de experimentación en el campo de la tecnología aplicada al patrimonio, con especial interés en el desarrollo de la virtualización 3D a través de fotogrametría. La labor llevada cabo en el LHD le permitió a partir de 2017 continuar desarrollando su trabajo en el campo de la tecnología aplicada al Patrimonio desarrollando proyectos para numerosos museos e instituciones culturales a nivel internacional. Desde entonces se ha centrado especialmente en facilitar el acceso de investigadores y público en general a monumentos patrimoniales y colecciones de museos a través de modelos 3D.

A partir de estos también desarrolla estrategias de accesibilidad universal mediante la creación de réplicas a tamaño natural, aumentado o reducido de las piezas gracias a la impresión 3D, en colaboración con expertos como el equipo de Vilamuseu junto al que ha conseguido en 2020 el Premio Internacional de Plata del diseño universal (IAUD). Ha llevado a cabo proyectos de gran repercusión como la documentación virtual y la creación de una réplica de impresión 3D de la Virgen del Acueducto de Segovia o la documentación 3D de toda la estructura del propio acueducto romano junto a Miguel Fernández, de Virtua Nostrum.

Muy relacionado con la esfera tecnológica y patrimonial, desde 2015 es máster de la comunidad y embajador de Sketchfab, plataforma líder a nivel mundial en visualización web 3D y desde 2020 Heritage Research Scientist en la fundación para la virtualización 3D del patrimonio mundial Global Digital Heritage.

En 2018 fundó junto a Pablo Aparicio Resco, Iñaki Diéguez y Belén Blázquez la plataforma Koré Formación, que se dedica a la enseñanza online de tecnología aplicada al patrimonio con más de 1500 alumnos en sus dos primeros años de funcionamiento. Su docencia se centra en la fotogrametría, la impresión 3D y otras tecnologías afines enfocadas al campo patrimonial.

Antigua Roma al día
Fruto de su especialización académica en el mundo romano, en 2012 fundó Antigua Roma al día, un proyecto de divulgación cultural de la antigua Roma a través de medios tecnológicos. Destaca por su estilo basado en píldoras de información basadas en el rigor histórico y contadas en las fechas en las que sucedieron. En la actualidad es uno de los proyectos más consolidados de la esfera divulgativa en redes sociales contando con más de 145.000 seguidores en Twitter.

Con la editorial Espasa, publicó en 2018 su primera obra de divulgación histórica "Un año en la antigua Roma. La vida cotidiana de los romanos a través de su calendario". Su interés por desmentir los bulos históricos de la antigua Roma y cambiar la concepción popular que normalmente se tiene de ella le llevó a publicar en 2019 "Fake News de la antigua Roma. Engaños, propaganda y mentiras de hace 2000 años". El éxito cosechado por ambas obras en España hizo que en 2019 y 2020 respectivamente se tradujeran al italiano.

Como divulgador también ha participado en el documental "Europa desde el cielo" de National Geographic y es colaborador en el programa de divulgación histórica El Condensador de Fluzo de La 2 de TVE.

Jan 4 How to choose.
I recently wrote a post about setting micro-goals in the service of achieving your macro goals. Today's post will hopefully help you choose what you want your macro goals to be.
Macro as in what you want to do before you die. As in the way you want to have an impact on the world and leave a legacy through the work that you create. Your big life goals.
As an Integral Master Coach™, a common theme I see in the humans I work with is an inability to decide what to do next. This then leads to a lack of action and, not surprisingly, few results.
The antidote to indecision is focus. It's giving all of your attention to what you think you might want to pursue until that action illuminates your next steps.
The antidote to indecision is not to do more research. That's just a way of putting off having to do the difficult work of trying things out, probably failing, and then having to try again.
The truth is, nobody knows what it is they want to do in the beginning. And the difference between you and someone who is farther along on the path is that they are making choices and then actioning them.
They might not even be the right choices. I spent three years doing everything from thru-hiking to surfing to beekeeping to stripping to sewing to scuba diving to sailing. None of these things were right for me in the end and all of those tiny decisions brought me to where I am now.
The other truth is, you only have so much time and so many resources at your disposal. You can't do it all. And the sooner you accept this, the sooner you can get to doing what is possible for you.
While I love that people are seeking out more meaning in the work that they do, I don't think it's helpful to spend all our time seeking out our purpose or our Why. In my experience, these things will reveal themselves so long as we keeping showing up and creating our art.
So here is one way of getting clearer on the macro goals that you'll be focusing on for now.
What internal cues are you checking for to know that a goal might be worth focusing on? This may include your feelings about the goal, how aligned it is with your spiritual self, and/or something else.
What external measurements are you checking for to know that a goal might be worth focusing on? This may include financial gain, a change in lifestyle, and/or something else.
What social cues are you checking for to know that a goal might be worth focusing on? This may include feedback from others, current social trends, and/or something else.
What processes are you checking for to know that a goal might be worth focusing on? This may include the steps you need to take to get to your goal, the structures you'll need in place to support you in achieving your goal, and/or something else.
Based on the data you collect from answering those questions, you will probably have a clearer idea of what goals need to be adjusted or cut out altogether.
Write down your top 15-20 big life goals.
Pick your top 3-5 goals and put those on one list.
Put the remaining 15-17 goals on another list.
Then do what's on the first list while avoiding what's on the second list.
This is an exercise based on Warren Buffett's 2-List Strategy. The idea is simple: people waste a lot of time doing things that they enjoy but that aren't ultimately their top goals. This prevents them—or you—from even enjoying the success of achieving 3-5 big life goals.
This is a hard exercise to do let alone follow through on.
It's much more appealing to overwhelm ourselves with options as a way to delay having to choose. Because choosing one goal might mean not choosing another goal.
And choosing to focus on many things might mean you never choose the few things that, looking back at the end of your life, will make what you did end up doing feel like time well spent.
So, what do you want to do the most?
Go do that. And avoid the rest.


Some might recall I made a tape-based solution, that created DSK files from standard Sedoric disks.
The disk was read sector by sector on a real Oric, sent with CSAVE to the PC soundcard, the user had to make a WAV of it, then a script and special tapetool converted it back to DSK.
Quite slow but ran like a charm.
I tried to make it universal (all disks: Sedoric, Jasmin or whatever, even protected) by reading track by track with the help of Fabrice, but I noticed the track reading was quite random and generates or inserts many wrong bytes (tested on several drives, including NightBird's one); Fabrice and I tried to understand that last year but we had no time and it's another project in the vault so far.
I noticed you need to be registered in the French forum to get the files... any chance the tool could be uploaded here in DF too?
Edit: I attached it to this post. It's not too big.
Hialmar... It seems that a file is missing (setuptools).
A Spanish guy is trying to set it up and he says that without that file it is not possible to try the package.
If you have it, would you mind posting it here too?
Ah I forgot, if your friend is using Ubuntu (and a recent version of setuptools) he should use this archive instead.
Thanks Hialmar. Ron (who was testing this) made it work finally.
Apparently after adding removing files in the dis image, it stopped working on the emulator (gives an I/O error).
the operations you do (was it adding and removing the same file, was it with the emulator or through OricFs,...).
So i can try to reproduce this issue.
It was not me who made the tests (I don't have a Linux box). It was a Sedoric 3 dsk and the OS was Debian.
After adding files with FUSE, and unmounting it, the DSK became unusable giving a I/O error "track 14 sector 1 read fault 10" when issuing a DIR command. I am quite sure that the emulator was Oricutron.
Ok, I will check Sedoric manual to see what means "read fault 10".
Do you know if the disk image is a fresh one generated by OricFs or by another tool?
Maybe you can send me the disk image so I could see what's wrong.
Can't find what means "read fault 10", if somebody can help.
Anyway, Track #14 Sector #01 should not be modified by OricFS except if you modify the hidden file .source in the mounted filesystem.
and post or check the result?
Not very sure when it comes to FDC, but this really looks like a FDC error, not Sedoric.
My guess is that the disk structure has been altered, or maybe a side 1 / 2 problem?
You should check if the "error 10" is decimal or hexa - and see if you can find out in FD1793 specs it meaning.
I know ron (the guy testing this) from another retro forum, and he took a quick look at your tool when discussing possibilities to edit DSK files. I could drop him a message in the forum, but I doubt he still has the broken disk image. He is quite good with retro so I doubt he touched any hidden file or made anything strange.
He reported he just tried to add a file to the DSK (don't know which file, but maybe from another DSK image or a tap file from a game... cannot tell) and he got the error from the emulator.
If the dsk was generated with tap2dsk the problem may be there as well.
Tap2dsk generates dsk that you cannot modify for some unknown reason (at least to me).
I have never managed to add files to them.
On the other hand, if I add/remove files to a dsk that was converted with readdsk I have no problem at all. That's what I use for Tyrann 3. I use tap2dsk to generate dsk and copy the files to the Sedoric3.dsk image found on Fabrice's website.
Currently I do this in Oricutron because I'm too lazy to launch a Linux VM and do it with OricFS but it worked all right when I did that with OricFS.
I will try to translate this in Spanish and post it on retrowiki.es.

With over 95% of us valuing a good night's sleep, we understand how detrimental outside noise can be to us achieving it. In fact, our independent research in April 2018, revealed that we are kept awake one night a week by noise or disturbances outside our homes. Whether it's the constant hum of traffic keeping you awake at night or the neighbour's extra loud band practice spoiling the enjoyment of your favourite TV show, Everest Acoustic double and triple glazing will be music to your ears.
Everest is the only home improvement window company whose windows have been approved by the international Quiet Mark award programme. Our excellent quality speaks volumes, but the unique Quiet Mark accreditation on our Acoustic windows, which is only given to companies who are dedicated to noise reduction, is definitely worth shouting about.
Everest's new laminated Acoustic glass has a special polymer layer sandwiched between the panes of glass, specifically engineered to disrupt and absorb sound waves and reduce noise pollution.
In general, using a combination of laminated glass and different thicknesses of glass reduces vibrations and noise, so less sound travels through the window. In tests, our Acoustic double glazed windows reduce sound by 40dB, which would take the loud 80dB noise from road traffic down to a quiet 40dB noise. The equivalent to the sound of someone speaking in a library.
Put another way, noise reduction can also be expressed in terms of distance. Every 3dB reduction in noise doubles the distance. The Everest Double Glazed window reduces sound by 33dB, but the Acoustic option reduces noise by 40dB. This further 7dB means that if a road was 20 metres from your house, with Acoustic glazing it will make the sound appear as if the road is 80 metres away – that's a whole four times further.
Of course, we have also created our new Acoustic double and triple glazing to be pleasing on the eye, as well as the ear, making the Low E coating super thin. In fact, on 4mm glass it is only 40 microns thick, which is the equivalent scale of putting a penny on top of the Shard.

Mothers are Strictest on Their Infants' Moral Wrongdoing
by Dr. Trupti Shirole on October 13, 2016 at 10:35 PM
Mothers typically respond more strongly to any "moral" faults by their infants - that is, which risk hurting other people or pets - than to any other type of misbehavior, revealed a new research in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.
Even misbehavior that puts the infant herself, but no-one else, at potentially risk, for example running down the stairs, is generally disciplined less strongly by moms than moral wrongdoing. Conversely, infants are more ready to obey, and less likely to protest against, their mother's prohibitions on moral faults than prohibitions on other types of misbehavior.
Children With Autism can Identify Misbehavior but Have Trouble Putting It in Words: Research
Children with autism have difficulty identifying inappropriate social behavior. Even when successful, they are often unable to justify why the behavior seemed inappropriate.
'Mothers respond more strongly to any "moral" faults by their infants - that is, which risk hurting other people or pets - than to any other type of misbehavior.'
Tweet it Now
These results indicate that mothers tend to treat moral wrongdoing as a special, more serious type of misbehavior, regardless of the potential harm. "Mothers were more insistent on the moral prohibition against harming others than prohibitions against doing something dangerous or creating mess or inconvenience, as shown by their greater use of physical interventions and direct commands in response to moral transgressions," says the author Audun Dahl, Assistant Professor at the Department of Psychology at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
Dahl and coworkers observed interactions between 26 mothers, their 14-month infant girls or boys, and an older sibling below 8 years of age during 2.5-hour-long home visits, and repeated the visits five and 10 months later. Mothers were told to behave naturally, as the purpose was to study the everyday experience of infants.
Cell Phone Exposure Reveal Imperfect Behavior in Kids
In Denmark according to a study conducted on pregnant women who regularly used mobile phones were more inclined to have children with abnormal behavioral problems.
The observers scored each instance of infant naughty behavior, distinguishing between moral, "prudential" (dangerous to the infant herself, but to no-one else) and "pragmatic" faults (i.e. creating mess or inconvenience, but not harmful to the infant or anyone else).
They also scored the mother's response to each behavior, for example physical restraint; commands; distracting the infant from the unwanted behavior; softening, such as saying "I know you want to play with my phone" to acknowledge the infant's wish, comforting him or her, or using of terms of endearment; compromising on an earlier prohibition; or explaining why the infant's behavior was wrong. Other variables were the infant's response, for example compliance with their mother's instructions, protest, or expressing negative emotions, and the seriousness of the actual or potential consequences of the behavior.
The results show that mothers consistently respond with high-intensity interventions such as physical restraint and commands, and not with gentler interventions, whenever their infants showed moral misbehavior. In contrast, mothers were more likely respond to pragmatic or prudential transgressions with low-intensity interventions, especially distraction, softening or compromising.
Furthermore, infants were significantly more likely to comply immediately with their mother's commands when their original transgression had been moral, and less likely to protest verbally. Importantly, the greater insistence of mothers on moral rules couldn't be attributed to moral transgressions having more severe potential consequences, since the observed prudential misbehaviors was on average more harmful - for example, putting the infant at risk of falling or choking.
Dahl concludes that mothers tend to treat the moral imperative to avoid harm to others as fundamentally different - more important to communicate and less open to negotiation - from prudential and pragmatic rules.
"Through their more insistent interventions on moral misbehavior, mothers appear to help their children make this distinction as well," says Dahl. "Still, how parents react to misbehaviors is only one of many factors in early moral development. So an important question for future research is how precisely young children make use of their mother's reactions, along with other experiences, to gradually develop their own notions of right and wrong," says Dahl.
Survey Holds Parents Responsible for Child's Poor Classroom Behaviour
A child's bad or erratic behaviour in the classroom can be attributed to his or her parents a study has found.

My interpretation of that quote is that Dutch soccer master Cruyff was telling us that soccer is best played with an engaged and informed brain. I could be wrong – the enigmatic Cruyff may have been extolling the virtues of the aerial approach to the game. Regardless, the fluid nature of soccer demands that players continually assess their situations and make good decisions from the information they take in – optimally before the ball or play even gets to them. Between the time a coach can call out an instruction and the time it is received and understood by the player, the situation will have changed and the advice is probably not applicable anymore. Telling a player what to do in the moment can cause confusion on what he or she should be doing in a game situation. Thus – our job as coach is to both prepare and allow our players to make their own decisions on the field.
Field practice is normally where we prepare our players to make those decisions, but the New England weather can sometimes work against us. Next time fields are closed, consider a different option: YouTube! Online video is a next-best resource for preparing the minds of your players. I call these virtual practices. With the advent of resources like YouTube, coaches have an easy way to share soccer experience with their players. YouTube has tremendous search tools and will even suggest closely related videos once you start working through your search results. Transferring the gems you find to a shareable autoplay list is a minimal click effort.
A playlist of pre-screened videos emailed out to your team is a great way to keep their minds engaged on improving their game. Elite athletes make heavy use of visualization to reach the heights they achieve. There is no reason why our young players should not benefit from a similar approach. For anyone who doubts the effectiveness of thinking about playing better to get better, check out this study where researchers showed fitness gains by having people simply imagine participation in a workout on a regular basis.
Here is one of the playlists that I sent to my team when they were struggling to understand the nuances of FIFA Law 11 (the offside rule). I have assembled several playlists on other themes – I try to pick videos that are engaging and usually include an 'awesome goals' type of video in with the mix. I prescreen all the videos I send to ensure age appropriateness and ask parents to spend time watching them with their kids – YouTube has a way of drawing your attention over to any of the billion other videos that it hosts.
Feel free to use the Law 11 playlist I describe above as a start. Better yet, spend 30 minutes assembling your own custom playlist. If you don't want to dive into YouTube just yet, consider pointing your players to the new video skills page on the Arlington coaching site. When weather cancels practice you can be just a group email away from deploying that virtual training session. Just remember – keep the list short, keep it focused and keep it fun. I guarantee results.
Byron coaches the BU14 "Arlington Moxie" (formerly "The Flying Chipmunks", formerly "The Silver Shot", formerly "The Green Lightning"… ). He has a US National E Coaching Licence and has been involved in coaching Arlington soccer since his son started at the U6 level. He recently joined the ASC Board of Directors where one of his responsibilities is development of the club websites. He is happy to receive coaching blog posts from the amazing coaches at any level in the ASC system.

Touch Me, Heal Me
By Richard Green
My usual paradigm is to pour watercolors and let them flow
naturally over the paper, sometimes letting gravity control
the situation, sometime being completely out of control!
Many of my pieces literally do themselves; I only determine~
after considerable looking~ where a piece is heading AND
what touch of reality can enhance a piece, in this case a
face. The title derives from a song from the Who's iconic
rock opera, Tommy.

Richard Green holds a Bachelor's degree in music and art history from the University of Minnesota, and a commercial art certificate from The Hennepin County Technical College. The 35mm camera he received for his seventh birthday was probably the catalyst which would eventually lead to a career in art direction and graphic design. He is a self-taught watercolor artist and oftentimes combines a variety of mediums, including a computer to achieve the effects he desires.

Does anybody know what to look for when buying hamburger meat in Thailand?
I am a but fussy and a lot of times I don't care for the burgers that restaurants have.
And best place to buy? Makro, Big C?
Never seen fresh beef in our local Big C not even frozen minced beef ! Know a couple of local markets around Phrae that have some off the hoof beef but quality poor and needs a lot of tenderising / marinating with oyster sauce.
Of course if you are talking pork as in close enough to Ham, again I buy from local traders. Beef is just not a big thing in rural LOS though we have found a good beef noodle restaurant in CNX and Lampang. My T.W. used to say "I don't like / eat beef" But I realise now she says that about everything she has not tried before, although she says she cried when she heard a local caribou was going for slaughter such that she paid for it to be saved.

Maybe they sell good frozen patties somewhere?
Must join Makro, as they recently opened one near Phrae, I think I need a minimum spend but I am sure the Family can make that possible; cooked a meat spaghetti bolognese with local beef chopped at home, didn't go down well, they preferred the tinned sardines with added garlic chilli and soy sauce on spaghetti, Oh well good luck M26, most of the sausages in supermarkets are rather sweet Chinese type and not cheap, have not looked for tinned or frozen hot dogs sure they are around as many street vendors sell cooked dogs. I can buy bagged ground black pepper in UK cheap at Pakistani stores but in LOS mostly pepper corns or expensive small bottles from TescoLotus.
No minimum spend, anyone can shop at Makro. If you don't have a Makro customer card they'll give you a temporary one while processing yours. It's our main shopping place, well ahead of BigC or Tesco Lotus. The beef mince is good but we mix with lean pork mince from Betagro and onion for a better flavour.

best burger patties i had in LOS came from korat chef but not sure who would sell them in HH....otherwise makro would be the best bet.
there's a really good beef comes out of a french run farm at sakhon nakhon. restaurant at seka uses it and everyone likes it there but again not sure where it's available elsewhere.
Last edited by Moo Uaon; 23rd March 2016 at 09:49.
Makro usually stock good Aussie beef mince.
If not go for the "Thai-French" beef which is a K1ng's project sponsoring Limosin/Charolais crosses.
I just turned a kilo into spag bol yesterday.
Sausages - yeah bring them - you are officially allowed 10kg/pp fresh food into Thailand.
Last edited by Zablive; 24th March 2016 at 15:27.
i find the cumberland fatboys at makro to be very good.
I brought back recently 5kg of beef BBQ sausages from a country butcher - drool, drool.
But I have to check Vietnam's 1st!
Last edited by MarcTwoSix; 24th March 2016 at 23:21.
Yet them done in cryovac - should be no problems then.
As for the VC - no idea?
They absolutely love it......every Thai that has had it and request I make it.

Next Metal Gear Solid 5 update adds Ocelot as a playable character in FOB missions
By Stephany Nunneley, Saturday, 29 July 2017 18:23 GMT
Starting next week, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain players will be able to step into the shoes of none other than hunky gunslinger Ocelot.
The Metal Gear Solid 5 update adds Ocelot as a playable character in FOB missions.
While you can't change his uniform or head option, his camouflage value has been slightly increased so his defense value matches the "highest defense value" within the unlocked battle dresses.
He can use one pistol in each hand with the TORNADO-6 along with ricochet bullets on marked enemies. Also, he reloads and draws his weapons faster.
Other additions with the Metal Gear Solid 5 update include new functionalities for the Wormhole Generator which can now automatically extract the player when in critical situations.
Opponents will also be unable to remove a placed Wormhole Generator and it will be much harder for them to destroy.
New swimsuits and colors have been added for FOB staff, along with the Goblin Suit. The latter is only available for Diamond Dogs soldiers and while there isn't any camouflage effect, the suit increases movement speed.
Diamond Dogs soldiers can also use the new Megalodon Suit, which like the GOB Suit, doesn't have a camouflage effect but increases movement speed.
The swimsuits are Online Development Items, which means players will need to develop them after receiving as Event Point Rewards.
Neither Snake nor the Mother Base staffers will be able to use the swimsuits.
Along with the new duds and Ocelot, some minor fixes have been applied with the update.
The update will be released for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain August 1.
It will be made available for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

These are a group of diseases in which the body is unable to use up glucose appropriately.
Glucose is the breakdown product of carbohydrates. It is a major source of fuel in the body. It helps to power every body tissue and cell including the brain, muscles and other tissues.
A hormone called insulin, produced in the beta cells of the pancreas helps to aid glucose absorption in the body tissues.
So, diabetes leads to an increased level of glucose in the blood and a decreased utilization of the same by the body.
This abnormal blood glucose level and utilization cause serious health problems.
There are three major types of diabetes. Namely.
It was initially referred to as insulin-dependent or juvenile onset diabetes.
It usually results from the destruction of the beta cells of the pancreatic islet by the body's immune cells(autoimmunity). These beta cells are the cells that produce insulin. So, their destruction leads to decreased or zero insulin production and therefore decreased glucose use by the body (hence high blood glucose).
It is more common in children and adolescents and progresses fast.
This type of diabetes results from the resistance of the body cells to insulin action and the inability of the pancreas to overcome this by producing more insulin. Here, unlike in type 1 diabetes, the blood insulin level is usually high or normal. Obesity is an important cause of insulin resistance.
Diabetes or glucose intolerance that started or was diagnosed during pregnancy is called gestational diabetes.
It starts mostly in late pregnancy.
It is believed to be caused by certain pregnancy hormones that increase the body's resistance to insulin.
This type of diabetes resolve after pregnancy in most women.
-Some hormonal disorders like acromegaly, Cushing's syndrome, pheochromocytoma.
N.B: the type of diabetes most involved with each predisposing factor is in the bracket.
Also, note that sugar consumption is not mentioned either as a cause or a predisposing factor.
Numbness of hands and feet.
> Regular blood glucose checks.
> Diabetic Ketoacidosis DKA; this is a life-threatening condition that needs urgent medical attention or may result in diabetic coma and eventually death.
> Diabetic Retinopathy; which is the effects of Diabetes Mellitus on the eyes.

Q: update foreign key using entity framework i am trying to update foreign key in a table named(Friendship).The foreign key is of the table named(FriendshipStatus) the problem is that all the values are updated except the foreign key. I m using code first approach.
Friendship Class
public class Friendship
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public User UserOne { get; set; }
    public User UserTwo { get; set; }
    public FriendshipStatus Status { get; set; }
    public User ReqSB { get; set; }
    public RelationType RelationType { get; set; }
    public Relationship Relationship { get; set; }
    public DateTime FriendshipDate { get; set; }

}

FriendshipStatus class
public class FriendshipStatus
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Here is the code for update
 using (context)
        {

            Friendship f = getFrienshipRecord(u1, u2); // get single record from db which is to be updated
            if (f != null)
            {
                Friendship ff = new Friendship();
                ff.Status = new FriendshipStatus() { Id = 2}; //actually wants to update this this field
                ff.Id = f.Id;
                ff.FriendshipDate = DateTime.Now;

                context.Entry(ff).State = EntityState.Modified;
                context.SaveChanges();

            }

        }

The above code changes datetime but it does not change foreign key.

A: This is the technique I use for updates that include a child. First, I like to expose the Foreign Key as part of the parent. If you name it FriendshipStatusId, EF will make the association automatically or you can add an annotation or fluent code if preferred:
public class Friendship
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public User UserOne { get; set; }
    public User UserTwo { get; set; }

    public int? FriendshipStatusId { get; set; }  // optional FK
    public FriendshipStatus Status { get; set; }

    public User ReqSB { get; set; }
    public RelationType RelationType { get; set; }
    public Relationship Relationship { get; set; }
    public DateTime FriendshipDate { get; set; }
}

Now you can do your update by simply fetching the entity (which puts it under tracking) and updating the FK:
using (context)
{
    Friendship f = getFrienshipRecord(u1, u2); // get single record from db which is to be updated
    if (f != null)
    {
        f.FriendshipDate = DateTime.Now;
        f.FriendshipStatusId = 2;
        context.SaveChanges();
    }
}

Note that if you add the FK you may need to do a migration or regenerate your database because the EF default might be something like FriendshipStatus_Id.

Or something like that. Check out the Watkins Glen in-car video on the site. That was by far the wildest wreck I have ever been in (and I have had my share...). PRetty scary stuff - I was pretty loose in the car after the second hit due to belt stretch and looking at more of the field headed directly at me. Luckily, everyone else avoided and everyone walked away from it no more than a little banged up. A testament to the safety of the cars we run and the safety gear built into them.
A week later and we have one car back from Bassen Autobody - our miracle worker. We start testing for Mido Ohio shortly. Onward and upward. The good thing is it would be pretty hard to get worse than last race!

Læsø és l'illa més gran de l'estret del Kattegat, al mar del Nord, a 19 km de la costa nord-oriental de la península de Jutlàndia. Læsø és també el nom del municipi que l'illa constitueix (vegeu Municipi de Læsø)

Juntament amb Anholt, Læsø pertany al "cinturó desèrtic" danès, que fa referència a les minses precipitacions els mesos d'estiu.
Durant l'edat mitjana l'illa fou famosa per la seva indústria de sal (vegeu Història de la sal).

For me to support the Tutu-Ringo maniacs who divested me of Civil Rights and hijacked my social narrative for criminally insane ends, I would have to believe that the AIDS attack was in good purpose and the Pussyball War Game a human defense objective, instead of a statement of ultimatum and collaboration from the South African government with Reagan in return for cessation of Apartheid. It doesn't work that way for me, it is a scam in an atrocity.
Girls engaged in misuse of sexual experience are a union. The British Labor and Rock Music industry under Pentagon-Disney announced, after severe sexual vivisection of a child, "You have had your share of life." They find themselves impregnable, and had the audacity to forge my name on it to magnanimously take responsibility themselves in a vicious denial of ripper hatter double fantasia.
