The first New Order single operates as the perfect bridge between their previous incarnation as Joy Division and the future they had to carve out for themselves following the suicide of singer Ian Curtis. In fact, Ceremony is technically a Joy Division song, and an embryonic live version performed at that group's last-ever gig (in Birmingham) appears on the posthumous double album Still. By the time New Order recorded it in March 1981, the song was polished and glistening, Sumner's voice, guitars and drums meshing together in a way that suggested the Joy Division chemistry had survived but also changed. You can hear the group rediscovering their confidence after Curtis's suicide. The key lyric – "Heaven knows, it's got to be this time" – is the sound of optimism born through crisis: the band's delicate crawl from the wreckage into an uncertain new future produces a New Order classic.
New Order's 1981 debut album, Movement, is much maligned – not least by Sumner, who felt Martin Hannett's production smothered the songs and that the group hadn't quite found their feet as a new band. There's some truth in both those criticisms, and yet it contains some unadulterated gems. I could have picked the more well-known Dreams Never End, but the magnificently slow-building Doubts Even Here (initially titled Tiny Tim) has been unjustly forgotten since the band banished it from their live performances some 33 years ago. It begins with a trademark Hannett sonic trick – an unusual sound followed by a second's silence – before Steve Morris's drum machine and a rolling Pink Floydesque tom-tom motif sets the scene for the banks of keyboard. As with Dreams Never End, Peter Hook takes the lead vocal. The climax, with Hook's pensive bassline accompanying Gillian Gilbert's spoken word narrative, is New Order at their most beautifully striking and elemental.
Factory boss Tony Wilson once called Everything's Gone Green "the most important song in the modern world, the first time anywhere that people used computers – primitive Apple computers with soldering irons and wires coming out of them – linked to 1970s synthesisers". Wilson was never one to undersell things, but New Order's first venture into electronics (as opposed to synthesiser washes) is a seminal record. Sumner had found an old synth with an oscillator and experimented with synching it up to drums. The result was a song that reflects the influence of Donna Summer's I Feel Love, coasts on a juddering sequence of electronic notes that provide melody and rhythm at the same time and acts as the blueprint for the combination of electronics, bass and guitars that would eventually produce Blue Monday. This was New Order's first venture into self-production and Sumner's lyrics – "Won't you show me, please show me the way" – perhaps hint at lingering insecurities, but the shimmering electronica takes existential angst on to the dancefloor. If you listen closely from 3'16" there's an early example of Sumner's now trademark whooping.
Sumner once said his conversion to electronic dance music came in New York, when someone spiked his drink with acid and he suddenly found himself blown away by the sounds blasting out across the dancefloor. Here, audibly fired up by what he had heard and the revolutionary new directions suggested by Everything's Gone Green, New Order produced arguably their most sublime 45. The distinctive electronic melody/rhythm combination comes from combining Moog Source and ARP Quadra synthesisers to play a rhythmic sequence of notes, but this spring-1982 fusion of electronics with guitars, bass and drums is a benchmark marriage of human and machine. The song – supposedly about lost love – also signposts Sumner's emergence as a vocalist, reputedly starting to enjoy singing after a mild dose of acid and a snowball down his shirt (the latter courtesy of Hook). In the US in the early 80s, a favourite New Order jape was to perform the song, then leave the stage with the electronics continuing, allowing the instruments to "play themselves" while furious Americans complained of being cheated and rained boos and bottles on the stage.
I've listened to New Order more than any other band in my life (including the Fall; I even listen to tapes of soundchecks), so some of these tracks picked themselves, even though several of my favourites (notably Turn the Heater On and Too Late from the sublime 1982 John Peel session) aren't on Spotify so couldn't be picked at all. However, the New Order catalogue is labyrinthine enough to throw up lesser-known – even unknown – pleasures in the most unlikely places. This has been a favourite of mine since first hearing it on the mail-order-only Touch cassette in 1982. When Wilson asked New Order to come up with some incidental music to mark that year's opening of the Hacienda club, the result was Video 586 (also known as Prime 586). This motorik electronic odyssey marks New Order's early experiments with the gadgetry (specifically Sumner's kit-built Powertran sequencer) and forms a blueprint for the vastly different 586 that emerged on Power, Corruption & Lies and even Blue Monday. Eventually released as a CD single in 1997, this combination of endlessly repetitive groove and electro bassline is as hypnotic as anything they recorded.
Whether or not to choose a song as ubiquitous as Blue Monday presented the most difficult dilemma with this list. In the end, I decided I just couldn't ignore New Order's most famous track. Blue Monday is New Order's ultimate gadget odyssey, using a Sumner's Powertran sequencer, an Oberheim DMX drum machine and an Emulator 1, one of the first samplers (which they tested by recording farts). Even the sleeve by Peter Saville is groundbreaking, based on a computer floppy disk. Although Blue Monday was hardly without precursors – having been inspired by Kraftwerk, Ennio Morricone and Summer, among others – the original 12in single was and still is incredibly influential, beloved of everyone from Detroit techno kingpins to American grunge rockers. Even Kylie Minogue found herself dancing to Blue Monday's unmistakable, Pied Piper-like repetitive rhythm, confessing Can't Get Blue Monday Out Oo My Head.
If the story of New Order is that of the trajectory from Joy Division's emotionally powerful rock to euphoric pop informed by melancholy, it is perfectly illustrated by the dazzling opener to Power, Corruption & Lies. When Age of Consent was debuted live in Blackpool in August 1982, it marked the Mancunians' first foray into pop music and soon became the fans' firm favourite. Opening with one of Hook's most infectious twangy riffs, and powering forth on Morris's kinetic drumming, this is the sound of New Order throwing back the curtains and letting the sun come in. When John Peel first played it, he singled out Sumner's two-note guitar motif at 4'14" as the song's most sublime moment – playing the five-second burst over and over – but the entire song is New Order playing pop music at its most headrushing, joyful and flawless.
From 1985's Low-Life album, Love Vigilantes saw New Order shun the expensive electronics now at their disposal for a melody produced by a cheap wind instrument you can find in any music shop. Sumner's trusty melodica produces the distinctive intro riff at the beginning as the singer begins one of his occasional forays into pop storytelling (see also 1963 and Ultraviolence). Here, the song's protagonist is a soldier longing to return from war to see his wife and child. The tragic punchline is that he arrives home as a ghost, witnessing his spouse's tears as she opens the telegram telling her he's dead. It's another oddly touching slice of otherwise skyscraping, uplifting pop, with a guitar middle-eight so perfectly constructed that longtime New Order fan and Lightning Seed Ian Broudie would pay homage to it on his own sublime 1989 hit, Pure.
Vanishing Point is my favourite track on my favourite New Order album, 1989's Technique. The album contains all the group's trademarks – electronica and acoustics, melancholy and euphoria, Hooky basslines and danceable beats – in one sharp package; the album's epic closer packs all of the above into a single song. Technique was recorded in Ibiza amid the band's well-documented foray into acid house and ecstasy, but a band with a history as unique as New Order's were never going to produce identikit Ibiza bangers. The key line in an unusually sombre Sumner lyric is "My life ain't no holiday/ I've been through the point of no return." Perhaps, amid the euphoria of ecstasy and the subsequent comedown, the singer was pondering how far they had come from their roots as punk band Warsaw, and what (and more importantly whom) they had gained and lost along the way. The title is another culled from that faded film poster in their old rehearsal room, which provided In a Lonely Place and Thieves Like Us. It's hard to think of any other New Order track that sounds simultaneously so sunny yet sad and otherwordly: a band at the almost supernaturally brilliant top of their game.

White House Chaos Continues as Trump Claims "Absolute Legal Right" on Sanctuary Cities Proposal
Trump tweets about sanctuary cities and his staff scrambles to work out what's happening—again.
Pete Marovich/CNP/ZUMA Wire
In a late night tweet on Saturday, President Donald Trump added fuel to his latest immigration row, declaring the United States had "absolute legal right" to send migrants detained at the border to various sanctuary cities throughout the country. The president also demanded that California, a heavily blue-leaning state he has publicly feuded with, bear the supposed burdens of taking in released migrants.
Just out: The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities. We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or its poor management & high taxes!
The tweet appeared to be further evidence that the much-maligned proposal was an effort by Trump to exact revenge on cities that have resisted his federal immigration policies. Ironically, it's that overt political posturing that experts have pointed to as one of the primary reasons the plan would likely violate federal law.
The plan, which had been floated but ultimately scrapped last year, was first reported this week. But one day after administration officials told multiple news outlets that the plan was never seriously under consideration—with many acknowledging how politically explosive it would be— Trump said on Twitter that the plan was still "strongly" under consideration.
The disconnect appears to have carried over into the weekend. On Sunday, when asked about the proposal during an appearance on ABC News, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed that the administration was currently exploring viable ways to carry out the plan—a significant departure from the president's "absolute legal right" claim just hours before.
JUST IN: Asked about DHS saying the potential transfer of undocumented immigrants to "sanctuary cities" is not legal, Sarah Sanders says, President Trump "likes the idea," and "we're looking to see if there are options to make it possible." https://t.co/vvl3KootIk pic.twitter.com/jZFCUbbPYt
— ABC News (@ABC) April 14, 2019
Sanders also did not seem to be on the same page about Trump's earlier claim that a New York Times report detailing the sanctuary cities plan, along with Trump's alleged offers to pardon administration officials if they closed the southern border, was inaccurate, and that the paper had never reached out for confirmation. The Times has since refuted the accusation, with reporter Maggie Haberman saying that they had emailed several times for comment on the report.
"I'm not sure about his particular story," Sanders told ABC's George Stephanopoulos. "I'd have to look back to see what story they're talking about."
The confusing maneuvers over immigration policy are occurring in something of a power vacuum as a result of Trump reportedly clearing house at the Department of Homeland Security.

Q: AS3 add callbacks for listeners lately I've been asked to change a small flash app i made to work with external callbacks instead of using the embedded buttons.
I tried to automate the process and came up with this function:
    /**
     * Add an External callback for all PUBLIC methods that listen to 'listenerType' in 'listenersHolder'.
     * @param   listenersHolder - the class that holds the listeners we want to expose.
     * @param   listenerType    - a String with the name of the event type we want to replace with the external callback.
     */
    public static function addCallbacksForListeners(listenersHolder:*, listenerType:String):void
    {
        // get the holder description
        var description:XML = describeType(listenersHolder);
        // go over the methods
        for each(var methodXML:XML in description..method)
        {
            // go over the methods parameters
            for each(var parameterXML:XML in methodXML..parameter)
            {
                // look for the requested listener type
                var parameterType:String = parameterXML.@type;
                if (parameterType.indexOf(listenerType) > -1)
                {
                    var methodName:String =  methodXML.@name;
                    trace("Found: " + methodName);
                    // get the actual method
                    var method:Function = listenersHolder[methodName];
                    // add the callback
                    try
                    {
                        ExternalInterface.addCallback(methodName, method);
                        trace("A new callback was added for " + methodName);
                    }
                    catch (err:Error)
                    {
                        trace("Error adding callback for " + methodName);
                        trace(err.message);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

before using this function I had to change the listener's function to Public, add null default parameter and of course remove/hide the visuals.
for example, from :

private function onB1Click(e:MouseEvent):void

to :

public function onB1Click(e:MouseEvent = null):void

add this line to the init/onAddedToStage function:

addCallbacksForListeners(this, "MouseEvent");

and remove the button from stage or just comment the line that adds it.
My question is: can you find a better/ more efficient way to do that ?
any feedback is welcomed..

A: Maybe you should make the javascript to call a single method with different functionName param. Then you only need to add one callback and you don't need to make all those functions public.
ExternalInterface.addCallback('callback', onCallback);

public function onCallback(res:Object)
{
    var functionName:String = res.functionName;
    this[functionName]();
}

SD senator Daschle led efforts to create the oxygen requirement followed by the Renewable Fuels Standard largely authored by his friend and ethanol consultant Dave Hallberg. They moved the ethanol industry to where it is today.
1. All auto engines are better optimized for premium E30 than unleaded/E10.
2. Premium E30 high oxygen content's more complete combustion prevents costly engine intake valve carbon deposits plaguing today's modern gas direct injection (GDI) turbo charged engines.
Consensus has it that high octane low carbon fuels or higher midlevel blends are the ideal also dramatically slashing gasoline's most toxic emissions and engine carbon deposits. Evidenced by The Daschle HOLC alliance announced recently. This alliance includes Clean Fuels Development Coalition, RFA and the National Corn Growers Assn including their wide array of sponsors like John Deere etc.
Most importantly environmental groups are joining the alliance: HOlC fuels wide support is beginning to better recognize that premium 94 octane E30 is the most cost effective, best performing HOLC octane enhancer for all autos are better designed for compared to unleaded..
E30's Octane's higher oxygen content assures more complete combustion that slash engine damaging intake valve carbon deposits plaguing modern, turbocharged, gas direct injection engines! Most importantly slashing gasoline's benzene and related emissions that are gasoline's new lead equivalent preying especially on our smallest children.

Q: CheckEdit as XtraGrid Column edit = gridView1.GridControl.RepositoryItems.Add("CheckEdit") as RepositoryItemCheckEdit;
column = gridView1.Columns.Add();
column.OptionsColumn.AllowSort = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.False;
column.VisibleIndex = 0;
column.FieldName = "CheckMarkSelection";
column.Caption = "Mark";
column.OptionsColumn.ShowCaption = false;
column.UnboundType = DevExpress.Data.UnboundColumnType.Boolean;
edit.NullStyle = StyleIndeterminate.Unchecked;
column.ColumnEdit = edit;

I suppose I succeed in adding a checkedit column into gridview but i still can't check multiple rows and can't access edit's check state. Why? i ll be appreciated, because i have been struggling with this for 3 days

A: Use the designer of the gridview. Goto columns, select the column you would like to be a checkedit. Go to ColumnEdit and select a checkedit. Then you really should be able to check multiple rows for this editor. Multiselect (selecting multiple rows simultaneously) is in the OptionsBehavior I guess. When I'm at work (tomorrow) I can provide you with a sample. It can't be very difficult that's for sure.

A: The problem appears because the column is marked as unbound.  In this case, the GridView generates the CustomUnboundColumnData event which can be used to provide data to this column and save it.  I think you should handle this event to resolve the original problem.

A: In the GridDesigner, for CheckEdit, set "NullStyle" property to "Unchecked", and for the column that you are going to use for CheckEdit, set "FieldName" property to the name of your column in the datatable (I used "col1" for boolean values true,false). After you set everything at the GridDesigner, you have to declare a type for the columns. For example i used a code like this;
public DataTable datas = new DataTable();

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        datas.Columns.Add("col1", typeof(bool));
        datas.Columns.Add("col2", typeof(string));
        datas.Columns.Add("col3");
        gridControl.DataSource = datas;
    }

datas.Rows.Add(False, "someValue", "");
datas.Rows.Add(False, "someValue", "");
datas.Rows.Add(True, "someValue", "");
datas.Rows.Add(False, "someValue", "");

Than it should work. I hope it is the solution of your problem. Thanks.


A proven system for getting to the root of your clients' complex health challenges.
Learn the laws surrounding your right to practice & help advocate for change!
Description: Learn to detect and correct early insulin resistance before it becomes dangerous.
Insulin resistance is a common condition that affects millions of people. In fact, in my experience, insulin resistance is the underlying cause of more than 50% of the health cases I see. Why? Because the way the body handles sugar can affect just about every other system in the body. Insulin resistance can lead to deadly conditions including heart attack, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Research has also indicated that it may play a role in conditions like sleep apnea, polycystic ovarian syndrome, high cholesterol, and chronic inflammation. Plus, more recent evidence suggests it may predispose people to Alzheimer's, as well. In this workshop I will share with you potentially life-saving information about how you can systematically and accurately help your clients and patients discover whether they have blood sugar imbalances, before the symptoms become life-threatening.
Please note that this 4 hour class is just an intro to the full online program. With this purchase you will receive lifetime access to the program, and can achieve this certification at your convenience. For a full outline of the program, testimonials, and more, go here.
Specific, easy-to-understand ways to explain to your clients how insulin resistance is often the more dangerous root cause of their pesky symptoms (like fatigue, excess weight, brain fog, irritability, and even depression) that led them to you in the first place.
How to screen for early signs of insulin resistance and intervene before it becomes debilitating.
Methods to determine where your client lies on the insulin resistance continuum, which includes hypoglycemia, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes.
The most important lab tests to order, and how to interpret them, including how to access labs you can use even if you're not a licensed physician.
How to guide your clients through a simple, self-monitoring process they can do at home, so they can design the diet and exercise program best suited for their physiology.
The relationship between all the hormones involved with blood sugar and energy, and how to keep them all in balance.
How to guide your clients through a 30-day metabolic reset that restores proper blood sugar management.
The most effective way to design packages of your services that guide your clients through a step-by-step system for preventing or reversing insulin resistance.

Johnson Outside Studies Fiscal 2022 Outcomes
RACINE, Wisconsin — Johnson Outdoors Inc. (Nasdaq:JOUT), a leading global innovator of outdoor recreation equipment and technology, today announced a slight decline in sales and earnings for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Revenue for fiscal 2022 declined 1 percent from the previous record year, while operating income declined 40 percent and net income declined 47 percent from the previous fiscal year.
"While sales in fiscal 2022 were relatively flat compared to fiscal 2021, which was one of our strongest fiscal years, the challenging situation in the supply chain, particularly in our fisheries business, resulted in a significant impact on our profitability. Fiscal fourth quarter showed some easing in supply availability and we remain focused on evaluating options to address increased costs and supply chain efficiencies. We ended the fiscal year with strong orders and continue to replenish inventories from our customers," said Helen Johnson-Leipold, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "While it is unclear to what extent economic conditions and inflation will impact consumer purchasing behavior going forward, we remain focused on maintaining innovation leadership and creating long-term value for our consumers."
HIGHLIGHTS OF FISCAL YEAR 2022
Continued strong incoming orders in all business areas
Awards for new product innovations
Debt-free balance sheet
Increased quarterly dividend to shareholders
FISCAL YEAR 2022 RESULTS
The company's total revenue decreased 1 percent to $743.4 million compared to revenue of $751.7 million in fiscal 2021. Key year-on-year drivers included:
Fisheries revenue declined 5 percent despite continued strong demand, primarily due to continued supply chain disruptions that slowed our ability to complete and ship finished goods
Camping grew 12 percent on higher sales in the Jetboil® and Eureka® product categories
Watercraft Recreation sales increased 2 percent due to continued strong demand for the Sportsman line
Diving sales rose 14 percent year-on-year as several regions of the world reopened and tourism increased
The Company's total operating income for fiscal 2022 was $66.3 million, which compared unfavorably to operating income of $111.3 million in the prior fiscal year. As a result of the significant increase in material costs, gross margin was 36.5 percent in fiscal 2022 compared to 44.5 percent in fiscal 2021. Operating expenses decreased $17.8 million year-over-year primarily due to lower variable and deferred compensation expenses is attributable to the financial year 2022 compared to the previous financial year. Income before income taxes was $58.9 million compared to $112.9 million a year ago.
Net income for the fiscal year was $44.5 million, or $4.37 per diluted share, down 47 percent from $83.4 million, or $8.21 per diluted share, last fiscal year . The effective tax rate was 24.4 percent compared to 26.2 percent in the prior year.
FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
The Company's total net sales for the fourth fiscal quarter were $196.4 million, an increase of 18 percent over sales for the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year as supply availability at our fishing business began to improve. Operating income of $13.3 million for the fourth quarter of the current year decreased slightly from $13.6 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Gross margin declined 6 points from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to increased material costs and inventory reserves. Operating expenses were flat year-over-year despite higher sales volumes, due in large part to lower warranty and bad debt losses. In addition, deferred compensation expense decreased $1.2 million due to losses on plan assets, which was fully offset in other expenses. Income before income taxes improved to $11.8 million in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year from $10.5 million. Net income for the fourth quarter was $9.7 million compared to $6.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.
The Company reported cash and short-term investments of $129.8 million as of September 30, 2022, down $110.6 million from the prior year, excluding debt on its balance sheet. Depreciation and amortization was $14.2 million compared to $13.4 million in fiscal 2021. Capital expenditures totaled $31.7 million in fiscal 2022 compared to 21.4 million dollars for fiscal 2021. In September 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 3 percent increase in the quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of record effective October 13, 2022, payable October 27, 2022.
"As we move into fiscal 2023, we remain focused on closely monitoring demand and proactively managing above-average inventories. While we have seen improvements in the supply chain for raw materials and purchased components, we expect that fiscal 2023 will experience some supply chain constraints on a regular basis and that our margins will continue to be impacted by inflationary pricing conditions," said David W. Johnson, Chief Financial Officer . "Our balance sheet and healthy cash position continue to provide us with the flexibility and resources needed to invest in strategic opportunities to strengthen the business while continuing to pay dividends to shareholders."
The Company will host a conference call and audio webcast on Friday, December 9, 2022 at 11:00 am Eastern Time. A listen-only live webcast of the conference call can be accessed here. A replay of the conference call will be available online for 30 days.

TWENTY16 Women's Pro Cycling Team Wins Chico Stage Race
Athletes Racing Road Women
The TWENTY16 Ridebiker powered by Sho-Air Women's Pro Cycling Team continued its impressive run of form by winning the Chico Stage Race last weekend. Allie Dragoo, who stormed to victory two weeks prior at the Valley of the Sun Stage Race, continued her winning ways by taking first place in the general classification (GC) standings. Dragoo's teammate Leah Thomas rode well throughout the event, finishing in second place overall. With four stages contested over three days, the Chico Stage Race was another key early season test for the TWENTY16 squad as they prepare for a few more domestic races before heading over to Europe to compete with some of cycling's top international road racing outfits. We caught up with both Dragoo and Thomas to learn more about how the race played out, and what this result means for the TWENTY16 team as they continue towards some big ambitions for the 2016 season.
TWENTY16's Leah Thomas took advantage of her pre-season training to grab a huge result at the 2016 Chico Stage Race, finishing second place on general classification.
SITTING IN WITH TWENTY16's LEAH THOMAS
FELT: Have you raced Chico Stage Race before this season?
LEAH: I raced Chico last year for the very first time as part of a local team, and it was one of my first bigger races. I actually placed the same last year, second overall on GC, although it was a much different experience this year.
FELT: How did the first stage at Chico play out?
LEAH: The first stage on Friday was a circuit race, and it was held at Thunderhill auto racing track. It was a 75-minute stage, and we really wanted to control the race in order to set up Alison Jackson for the win, as well as be competitive for the sprint jersey. Sofia Arreola did a great job getting sprint points throughout the stage, and we set up Alison well. She won and Sofia came in second. It was a really great way to start the weekend of racing.
FELT: How about the second stage?
LEAH: The second stage on Saturday was a really long, 90-mile road race. And it had sections of gravel, which made it a lot more exciting. We did a good job of controlling the pace of that stage; there was plenty of teamwork going on. Somewhere around 10 kilometers to go, I was able to bridge up to my teammate, but unfortunately we got caught with only 400 meters to go. There was definitely a ton of teamwork going on throughout the day, so it was a great way for us to work on solidifying our communication and build that team rapport necessary for success in big events.
FELT: Tell us about the last day of racing.
LEAH: The third stage was on Sunday, which was a 10.3-mile time trial, and it was mostly flat. I remember it being windier last year. It was a bit calmer this year and colder, too. The challenge involved in a time trial like that is that you just raced 90 miles the day before, so mustering the strength necessary to place well can be tough. For me, that stage was all about staying in my own world and pacing myself correctly, along with remembering to keep my head down and staying as aerodynamic as possible. My teammate Allie Dragoo finished first and I was able to finish second, and that pretty much solidified the general classification (GC) standings. In the last stage, which was held on the same day as the time trial, was a criterium that was fast from the get-go with attacks going throughout the whole stage. There was a huge battle taking place for the sprint jersey. And our job as a team was to cover attacks and make sure we kept the GC lead, and we were successful at that.
FELT: Tell us about your Felt road bike.
LEAH: I have the Felt F1 road bike, and I absolutely love it. When I first got into riding bikes, I had an entry-level Felt bike so it was the first brand I was exposed to and became familiar with. So it was nice to come back to Felt Bicycles as a professional racer. I love my F1; it fits great, it's aggressive, it's fast and it responds extremely well.
FELT: Looking ahead, what are your personal biggest goals of the 2016 season?
LEAH: Since this is my first season racing with the TWENTY16 Ridebiker team, a lot of my goals are oriented around the team. A lot of my teammates have real potential for getting to the Olympics, so helping them out in key races is really important to me. Beyond that, I just really want to gain as much experience in big races as possible, and to learn those really important tactics involved at the highest level of competition.
FELT: In regards to your training and preparation, did you do anything different heading into the 2016 season compared to previous campaigns
LEAH: Going into this season, I definitely had more time to train than in previous seasons. Up until this past June, I was a full-time teacher. So during my previous seasons of racing, I had balance teaching and training. I left my full-time teaching job, but I love going back to the classroom to substitute teach. So these days I definitely have more time to train and, more importantly, more time to rest and recover. I know that power-wise I was stronger going into this season than in previous seasons.
FELT: Tell us about your teaching career.
LEAH: I used to teach 6th grade science, and I was living out in Northeastern Arizona on a Navajo reservation. I'm originally from California's Bay Area and I wanted to come home, so I took the first job I could, which was teaching transitional kindergarten. It's a program for younger kids, in the 4- to 5-year-old range, to get a chance to catch up developmentally to older classmates. I ended up working for a fabulous district in the city of Mountain View.
FELT: What are some events coming up for the team?
LEAH: We're going to the Tour of Murrieta in mid-March, and then we head over to Europe where we're going to do some of the big European traces. It'll be a good learning experience and a great way to try and get some good results. We have a great mix of veteran riders and new and excited riders on the team, so it makes more a wonderful dynamic.
FELT: It was announced this week that TWENTY16 will be part of the Amgen Tour of California this year, What does that mean for you and the team?
LEAH: The Amgen Tour of California is on my race schedule, and I'm super excited to be able to compete in it because I grew up in California. Plus, the race's location will allow my family and friends to watch and participate in the festivities. I'm excited that the title sponsor Amgen continues to grow the women's side of the Tour each year. And I'm really excited for the fact that there's going to be a team time trial. I had the privilege to ride the TTT at last year's World Championships in Richmond, Virginia, so it would be fun to race that kind of event again. It's a beautiful thing to be a part of. And I'm also excited for the race in Santa Rosa because it's so close to home.
TWENTY16's Allie Dragoo won the time trial at Chico Stage Race, in addition to taking the overall victory on general classification.
LESSONS LEARNED FROM TWENTY16'S ALLIE DRAGOO
FELT: How did Stage One play out from your perspective?
ALLIE: The Stage One circuit race was unique, because it was on a car racetrack. The pavement felt weird underneath you, like glass, only sticky. All that week I had been pretty sick, and I didn't really ride my bike much. I was mostly on the couch all week sleeping. So during the race I had to sit in and take it all day by day. My teammates covered the attacks, and nothing got away. And then the first stage came down to a field print. I made sure to stay up front in order to help our lead-out train. My teammate Holly Breck did the final lead-out for Alison Jackson, who won, and Sofia Arreola took second place.
FELT: Walk us through Stage Two.
ALLIE: Stage Two was a 90-mile road race, made up of two 45-mile loops. About 16 miles into the first loop, there was a 4-mile section of gravel. It was pretty sandy and also rocky in spots. We made sure to go hard during the stage in order to split the field. On the second loop we really got things going and started attacking in twos. Jennifer Tetrick was off the front with another rider, and they had a breakaway for quite some time. The field brought them back for time's sake. We were set up well for the final sprint, but there was a crash and Alison Jackson went down, and the field and the situation pretty much got away from us. Sofia Arreola finished 5th and I finished 7th. It was unfortunate, but a good lesson for us. When things go south, you just have to keep going.
FELT: How did the Stage Three time trial play out?
ALLIE: I was so sick on Sunday morning, the day of the final two stages. We rode to the course that morning, and I was questioning if I could even race. But I fought through it and did my normal warm-up. I thought, "Whatever happens, so be it. I'll just go race." There's something unique about time trial where, when you're out there, it's the only thing that matters. I caught the rider who started 30 seconds ahead of me, a racer who I know is a very good time-trialist. I caught her, so I figured I must have been in good shape. I won the time trial, Leah Thomas got second, I took over the yellow leader's jersey at that point. It was a really fun little course. There were a few apex-to-apex turns, so it was fun to cut time off in sections like those.
FELT: What happened during the final stage?
ALLIE: Stage Four was a criterium, the same day as the time trial. The team's plan was to secure the yellow leader's jersey and move riders up in the general classification rankings if possible. The stage started fast and people were attacking nonstop. We covered a few attacks, and then I attacked with another girl, and we broke away for 11 laps before the field caught us with just one lap to go. My teammates Jess Cerra and Sofia Arreola were yelling at me that they were coming through the corner fast in order to string out the race, and they really took it to the last corner. Sofia ended up getting second.
FELT: What are some things about Chico that really stood out to you?
ALLIE: The thing that I really took away from this race was just how well the team communicated, and how well everyone stayed calm. We had a plan to get the leader's jersey and, despite some setbacks, we were able to accomplish that. Even though Chico is one of the smaller events we'll be contesting this season, it offers an incredible training aspect for everyone who races. It features a 90-mile road race for the pro women, and we rarely get that kind of stage in which to compete.

Beyond AniFem
Hypnosis Mic and the History of Japanese Hip-Hop (Anime News Network, Marc Schulz)
A brief history of Japanese hip-hop, from the 70s to today.
Unfortunately, hip-hop's import into Japan has not been entirely seamless. The practice of burapan, the Japanese term for the appropriation of Black fashion, hair and culture by Japanese people, has been rife throughout hip-hop's history in Japan and still is in certain circles. This is in addition to the outright use of blackface, a practice that is still a significant problem in wider Japanese popular culture particularly in comedy and music spaces. Hip-hop's status as a decidedly Black, American art form and culture had a major role in the rise of burapan culture in Japan, as hip-hop culture and by association Black culture in the United States was seen as "cool" and "rebellious" by wider Japanese society. This appealed to an already disenfranchised youth during 1990s "Lost Decade" Japan when hip-hop first became popular there, and without the cultural and historical context to understand the harm of cultural appropriation and the use of blackface, burapan was born. Thankfully, burapan and blackfacing seem to have been mostly weeded out in modern Japanese hip-hop culture as people become more aware of these issues, but it still exists, and even HypMic has brushed up against burapan on occasion with the flippant use of imagery like guns and illicit drugs without any real seriousness or cultural context.
Examples can be found in Joe Wood's 1997 piece The Yellow Negro from Harvard's Transition magazine.
Japan may ease rules on 'morning-after pill' next year—report (The Asahi Shimbun)
The pill is currently only available with a prescription.
n August, a senior official at the Japan Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists sparked an uproar when he said that women had not had enough education about sex and contraception, and he worried that making the pills available over-the-counter would lead to women being irresponsible.
A petition on Change.org calling for non-prescription sales of the drug in Japan noted that knowledge about proper contraception was often lacking, sometimes leading to unwanted pregnancies even with consensual sex. It had just over 90,000 signatures as of Thursday.
The government has in the past dragged its heels on improving access to contraception. In 1999, it approved the safer, low-dose birth control pill after nearly a decade of discussion – just after the anti-impotence drug Viagra won approval in only six months.
PERSONA (SOCIAL SIMULATOR?) (Deep Hell)
Investigating the depressing realism of the Persona series' s-link system.
Being cynical enough about the way the social links system works in Persona will routinely turn up those same critiques over and over again. The game doesn't really portray how people can be bettered by strong bonds because most change is rote and never takes hold (a-la Persona 4's way of resolving character conflict) – or like I said earlier is purely based on the protagonist exploiting someone else to become stronger.
I don't find those criticisms damning enough. The question they present to me is not that how could you make these games into a better social sim, but who are they a social simulator for.
Exploiting people or using their problems as a means of getting close to them is never a good thing to do. Yet if you look at any drama involving the people who make indie games in Seattle, or independent comic creators becoming professional you'll see those things over and over again. If you want to see both at the same time: look at the kind of people who write about music just so they can see their favorite bands for free.
Assemblyman to retract remarks about gay people destroying ward (The Asahi Shimbun, Aya Shioiri)
Another week, another member of the LDP saying something homophobic.
"Once again, I deeply apologize to the many people who have been hurt by Shiraishi's remarks," Akira Shikahama, the assembly's chairman, said in a statement on the website released on Oct. 12.
During a ward assembly session on Sept. 25, Shiraishi asked about the treatment of sexual minorities in relation to children's education and the falling birthrate.
"The ward would see no single child born if the entire population of the ward became gays and lesbians," he said. "The ward could disappear if gays and lesbians are protected under the law."

Sexual minorities still struggling five years after LGBT ordinance (The Asahi Shimbun, Ananda Kokumai and Naomi Nishimura)
Domestic partnership certificates fall short on several key protections.
The partnership mechanisms also cannot resolve the many difficulties that sexual minorities still face.
Same-sex couples are ineligible for income tax deductions like married couples, and it is impossible for them to share joint custody of children.
Most private businesses and local governments do not allow sexual minority workers to take child-rearing or nursing care leaves.
Many lawsuits have been filed nationwide against the government, arguing that its refusal to recognize same-gender marriages violates "marital freedom" and "legal equality for all" guaranteed by the Constitution.
