Q: how to to send data when tab is selected or swipe? I make a simple example of tab view using fragment and pager .I want to send to send data from one fragment to another fragment when user use tab button. I will give you more detail I have one list view in one tab . In that i take one array list  to display the data in list view.I want to send that list view in another fragment . So I make one interface and implement it on main activity .But I don't know how to send on which event  to send fragment .when user select tab I want to send array list to second fragment
here is my code
mainActivity
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener {

I need to to send    ArrayList name; in second fragment ..I used interface but I don't know on event how to get value of that array list when user swipe or tab on tab view  in second fragment?

A: Here i am posting some code that might help, see the scenario is like this,
Your tabs are in your Activity so the click and swipe events would be handled there so declaring Interface will not help as you can not fire that Callback method in Tab swipe or click, so what you can do is create a method in FragmentOne which will return you ArrayList like below
public ArrayList<String> getData(){
   return yourArrayList();
}

now in FragmentTwo create a method that will receive the ArrayList from FragmentOne like below
public void setData(ArrayList<String> yourArrayList){
  Toast.makeText(YourActivity.this,"ArrayList Size: "+yourArrayList.size(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Now about how to reference the Fragments in your Activity you can do something like this:
private static String makeFragmentName(int viewPagerId, int index) {
   return "android:switcher:" + viewPagerId + ":" + index;
}

Now in Tab Swipe or click call above method to Refer your fragments like below
ArrayList<String> yourArrayList = new ArrayList<>();
FragmentOne fragmentOne = getSupportFragmentManger().findFragmentByTag(makeFragmentName(viewPagerId,0))
if(fragmentOne != null){
// get your arraylist using method of FragmentOne
    yourArrayList = fragmentOne.getData();
}
// refer your second fragment and set the above arraylist in that
FragmentTwo fragmentTwo = getSupportFragmentManger().findFragmentByTag(makeFragmentName(viewPagerId,1))
if(fragmentTwo != null){
   fragmentTwo.setData(yourArrayList);
}

and you are done
see above 0 and 1 are index of fragments in adapter you will need to manage that
let me know if you need further help

A: In your first fragment named Fragmentone, do something like this:
    if(callBack!=null){
     callBack.sendData(yourDataArrayList);
}

After doing this see what are you getting in log.


Eastern University is about to step into the 8th year of its existence. But in this short period, like the proverbial saying, 'morning shows the day,' Eastern has already shown potentials as a sound and an earnest institution of higher learning. Its soundness is that it resists being caught in the Private University market-oriented rat race of proliferating academic programs without first ensuring appropriate campus facilities and academic faculties. Eastern started with four Faculties and is still concentrating on those four. Eastern University believes in not producing, as the present Vice Chancellor always says, many 'sick children' for reasons not wholly academic but nurturing the existing ones. Eastern's physical expansion precedes academic expansion, and not the other way round. The most vital strength of Eastern University is its faculty; it recruits the best available teachers through vigorous search and a rigorous selection process.
I wish Eastern University well in its vision and mission of becoming "a Centre of Excellence" in the region at the possible time.

BMS reaches grandstand capacity for historic Food City Dirt Race; Limited Pinty's Truck Race on Dirt tickets still available
A limited number of tickets are available for the Pinty's Truck Race on Dirt, scheduled for Saturday night, March 27.
Bristol Motor Speedway officials announced today that the socially-distanced grandstand seating capacity for the historic Food City Dirt Race on Sunday, March 28 has been reached. A limited number of premium seating options still remain to witness the NASCAR Cup Series' return to dirt in the sport's modern era.
Fan response to the throwback challenge has been overwhelming. BMS has begun placing individuals in socially-distant seats and fans will be notified when their tickets are available for download via the BMS app.
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series tickets for Saturday night's Pinty's Truck Race on Dirt on March 27 are also exceeding expectations. Fans are encouraged to click here to secure tickets promptly.
To kick-off its 60th anniversary season, Bristol Motor Speedway is firing on all cylinders this January. As track officials begin the breakdown of lighting elements and displays from one of the most successful Pinnacle Speedway in Lights events in its history, the design and execution of its historic conversion to a dirt track is simultaneously taking place.
"We've always known our 60th anniversary season was going to be a special one, but to come out in the first week of January with news that fans have already scooped up our available NASCAR Cup Series tickets to the Food City Dirt Race, just elevates the excitement to a whole new level," said Jerry Caldwell, executive vice president and general manager for Bristol Motor Speedway. "We appreciate our fans and community for always being by our side and we look forward to serving up some incredible WOW moments and memories throughout our entire 2021 season."
September's Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race Playoff weekend and single-day tickets are also available for purchase at this time. The deadline for returning customers to guarantee renewal of their tickets is Friday, January 29. Please visit www.bristolmotorspeedway.com or call the BMS Ticket Sales Center at (866) 415-4158 with questions.
To make the event as safe as possible for all attendees, BMS is instituting procedures to reduce contact and crowd density as guests and competitors purchase tickets, enter the grounds, enjoy the event and depart the facility. Face coverings will be a required accessory in high-traffic areas inside and outside the stadium for all guests who attend. The "Mask Up" campaign is part of an important initiative by Bristol Motor Speedway that strongly encourages the public to wear face coverings, not only when they are visiting the Speedway, but also when they are out in the surrounding communities as well, and to follow all of the necessary protocols and guidelines to do their part to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Alan Shaw
2018 Highly Commended
Alan had managed to get through life without the need to read and write. When he was made redundant at age 50, he returned to education to give himself a chance of re-gaining employment.
Alan left school with no qualifications and for many years was too embarrassed to admit his lack of English and maths skills to others. Instead, he avoided situations requiring communication, reading, IT or maths, and relied heavily on his family to get by.
Now unemployed, finding a job was becoming a challenge and Alan was increasingly frustrated. He found a City College Southampton leaflet in a supermarket and signed up to his first course.
Over four years Alan completed a variety of English, maths and IT courses and is looking to undertake a retail skills course to assist him getting back into employment. He has also learnt to read music and play the ukulele, and has performed at his local Christmas fayre.
Alan's journey has inspired his father to attend IT classes and his friend to improve their English and maths.
Alan said "After a lifetime of embarrassment, I have a new lease of life. I love that I can now pick up a paper and read it with confidence. My family is so proud."
Oonagh Potter, Alan's English tutor at City College said "Alan's outlook on life has completely changed and he has inspired others to follow in his footsteps."

costume section, notice Pope outfit used in the recent film "Habemus Papum"
Had the recent fortune of touring the Cinecitta' studios in Rome, actually I have been 3 times in 2 months. The first time was with the U.N walking group and it was a fabulous tour as we were able to see quite a bit more than is offered on the normal tour, including the incredible digital, dubbing facilities, extremely impressive, looked like a fun place to work. On the first tour we were told "No Photos". Second and third time were with family members and what we were showed was more limited but we could take photos.
Cinecitta is the largest film studio in Italy. Founded in 1937 by B. Mussolini for propaganda purposes. Was built in the rationalist style – functional, rational not decorative. It is a national monument so the color cannot be changed. The surrounding pine trees were a gift from the forest department. Now it is a private company (an SPA in Italy) along with a sub company started in 2009 which deals with post production: sounds, dubbing, digital images, etc.
The scenery (scenografia) is only facades, buildings are empty, called "tubi innocente". The state owns the buildings but the sets can be rented by anyone. Right now they are opening the area to tourists to celebrate the 150 years of Italian unification.
We got to see the set for the HBO series "Rome". Was very, very cool. Great buildings made of fiberglass (resina). There was the Roman Forum, the arch of titus, basilica Julia, Roman street (which were made of only 6 molds and placed in different designs resulting in a very authentic reproducation of the Via Sacra. There were curved corners to give more perspective. And there was even an Egyptian temple and huge statue that was also used in the Rome series for cleopatra episode.
Big American films like Ben Hur, Cleopatra, Gangs of New York were filmed here. And many classic Italian films: Satyricon, La Dolce Vita etc.
Looks really fun! I like the Egyptian parts.


MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota — Thousands of ecstatic Trump supporters packed an airplane hanger at Minneapolis International Airport as Donald Trump made his most daring bid yet to flip a "blue" state to the Republican column.
According to police, 5,000 people were allowed inside the hangar, but 17,000 had reserved for the event. Thousands gathered outside the fence — and more on the far opposite side of the airport, observing the event from a great distance, atop a dirt hill.
Trump arrived in his trademark style, landing in his private plane and taxiing to a halt directly in front of the crowd. To the sound of "God Bless the U.S.A.," he descended the stairway and waved to the crowd from the stage.
People had told him, he said, not to visit Minnesota. "I took all kinds of heat," he told the audience.
But, he said, "I love Minnesota!" And he told the audience that this election would be their best chance to achieve change in America. In four years, he said, it could be too late, because Democrats would have taken firm control of the Supreme Court.
But the echo in the hangar was near-deafening, with most ordinary sounds — even Trump's remarks from the front — drowned out by cheers.
"Why do I feel good about Minnesota?" he asked, to a roar.
Trump addressed the topic of Syrian refugees, in a state where a burgeoning immigrant population from the Middle East has included a small minority of radicals, some of whom have gone on to fight with terrorist groups against the United States.
Fans inside were enthusiastic, and optimistic.
Melissa Buege, of nearby Woodbury, told Breitbart News that she was at the rally "to show support for Trump, to support my country, and to show my concern about the way we are headed.
Mike Kulhanek, 44, of Empire, Minnesota, held up a homemade "Mexicans for Trump" sign.
"I'm a a second-generation legal immigrant," he said. "We need to have strong borders, for both Americans and for Mexicans.
Estelle Senopole, from Oakdale, Minnesota, said that she supported Trump because she is pro-life.
And, she added: "The opposite of control is freedom. Trump is going to return control to the people, and give us freedom again, so we can flourish.
"I don't think anyone else could have done what he has done — to face all of the tough stuff and not quit.
"The other side are the deplorables — we're the adorables," she concluded with a smile.
Minnesota has 10 Electoral College votes, and has not voted for a Republican in a presidential election since 1972.
It's great to be back in Minnesota today. It was so important for me to come here again and campaign for your vote, I've been here many times before -- Hillary doesn't even bother to come here. She refuses to campaign in Minnesota.
Do you really want a President who doesn't care about your vote?
I am asking for the support of every voter in this state – Democrat, Republican, Independent and first-time voters – who want to take our government back from the Corrupt Political Class in Washington, D.C.
I'm asking for the votes of students, parents, retired Americans, union workers, African- Americans, Hispanic- Americans, and all Americans who are tired of a government that works for Wall Street but not THE PEOPLE.
It is time for all Americans to UNITE and take back our government.
I'm very honored to have won the mock vote of High School Students in Minnesota – this election is all about creating a better future for our children.
Our failed establishment has brought us nothing but poverty at home, and disaster overseas.
We are tired of economic and foreign policies that have BLED THIS COUNTRY DRY.
It is time for REAL CHANGE that puts the people back in charge.
This election will decide who runs this country: the Corrupt Political Class – or YOU, the American People. That's the choice. She's with THEM – I'm with YOU. This is our last chance.
In 2 days, we are going to win the Great State of Minnesota and we are going to win back the White House.
It's just been announced that the residents of Minnesota are going to experience close to a 60% increase in premiums.
Every single county in Minnesota is losing an Obamacare insurer next year.
I'm asking for your vote so we can repeal and replace Obamacare and save healthcare for every family in Minnesota.
Hillary Clinton will be under investigation for a long time for her many crimes against our nation, our people, and our Democracy -- and likely concluding in a criminal trial.
She is the most corrupt person ever to seek the Presidency of the United States.
My Contract With The American Voter begins with a plan to end government corruption – and to take our country back from the special interests.
I want the entire corrupt Washington establishment to hear the words we are all about to say. When we win on November 8th, We Are Going To DRAIN THE SWAMP.
America has lost one-third of its manufacturing jobs since NAFTA – a deal signed by Bill Clinton and supported by Hillary Clinton.
America has lost 70,000 factories since China entered the World Trade Organization – another Bill and Hillary-backed disaster.
Minnesota ranks fourth nation-wide for the highest share of jobs lost due to our trade deficit with China.
And when Hillary was Secretary of State, our trade deficit with China grew 40 percent.
- Ford laid off 794 workers in Saint Paul and moved their jobs overseas.
- Moneygram laid off 408 workers in Brooklyn Center and moved their jobs overseas.
- Greatbatch laid off 200 workers in Plymouth and moved their jobs to Mexico.
- Smead Manufacturing laid off 592 people in Hastings and moved their jobs to Mexico.
- IBM laid off 500 workers in Minneapolis and moved their jobs to India and other countries.
A Trump Administration will stop the jobs from leaving America, and we will stop the jobs from leaving Minnesota.
If a company wants to leave Minnesota, fire their workers, and move to another country, and then ship their products back into the United States, we will make them pay a 35 percent tax.
We will also unleash American energy – including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
We will also cancel all harmful Obama regulations that hurt Minnesota farmers, workers and small businesses.
But to be a rich nation, we must also be a safe nation.
Hillary wants a 550% increase in Syrian Refugees pouring into our country and she wants virtually unlimited immigration and refugee admissions from the most dangerous regions of the world.
Her plan will import generations of terrorism, extremism and radicalism into your schools and communities.
Here, in Minnesota, you've seen firsthand the problems caused with faulty refugee vetting – with large numbers of Somali Refugees coming into your state without your knowledge, support or approval and with some then joining ISIS and spreading their extremist views.
You've seen the recent terrorist knife attack in St. Cloud.
A Trump Administration will not admit any refugees without the support of the local community where they are being placed.
And we will pause admissions from terror-prone regions until a full security assessment has been performed, and until proven vetting mechanisms have been established.
A Trump Administration will also secure and defend the borders of the United States. And yes, we will build a great wall.
Hillary supports totally "open borders," and strongly supports Sanctuary Cities, like San Francisco, where Kate Steinle was murdered by an illegal immigrant deported 5 times.
Thousands of Americans would be alive today if not for the open border policies of Obama-Clinton.
There is the tragic case of 90-year-old Earl Olander, a Minnesota Farmer, who was brutally beaten by illegal immigrants and left to bleed to death in his home. Earl's body was found with his hands bound behind his back in duct tape, and blunt-force injuries to his head. His killers had criminal records, but they did not meet the Obama Administration's priorities for removal.
A Trump Administration will end this nightmare of violence.
We will stop illegal immigration, deport all criminal aliens, and dismantle every last criminal gang and cartel threatening our citizens.
I'm honored to have the endorsement of more than 200 top Admirals and Generals and 22 Medal of Honor Recipients.
Hillary and our failed Establishment have spent $6 trillion dollars on wars in the Middle East, and now it's in worse shape than ever before.
They've dragged us into foreign wars that have made us less safe, shipped our jobs and wealth to other countries, and left our borders wide open at home.
We send our troops to foreign countries to defend THEIR borders, but our politicians refuse to defend OUR borders.
That will change on November 8th.
A Trump Administration will never, ever put the interests of a foreign country before the interests of our country. From now on, it's going to be AMERICA FIRST.
To all Americans I say: it is time for change. It is time for New Leadership.
We are going to have the biggest tax cut since Ronald Reagan; we will save and protect your Social Security and Medicare – Hillary Clinton will reduce and cut your Social Security and Medicare benefits; eliminate every unnecessary job-killing regulation; cancel every illegal Obama executive order; protect religious liberty; rebuild our military and take care of our Vets; provide school choice and put an end to common core; support the men and women of law enforcement; save the 2nd amendment; and appoint Justices to the Supreme Court who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
It is time to cut our ties with the failed politicians of the past.
Hillary Clinton is the candidate of yesterday. We are the movement of the future.
We are fighting for every parent who lost their child to drugs and crime and gang violence.
We are fighting for every community whose jobs and dreams have been ripped out and shipped to other countries.
We are fighting for every American who believes government should serve the people – not the donors, and not the special interests.
I'm asking you to Dream Big – because with your vote, we are just 2 days away from the change you've been waiting for your entire life.

Air cargo revs up for changing automotive market
By Yvonne Mulder
Source: Etihad Cargo
The airfreight industry is adapting its solutions to support the automotive sector, as more vehicles on the roads are electrified.
The automotive sector will see more change in the next two years than it has in the last 20 to 25 years, according to Dave Dudek, executive vice president, global automotive and tire sector lead, CEVA Logistics.
"We are just on the fringe of many of these new activities happening. Electric vehicles (EVs) were less than 4% of cars sold last year.
"The industry expects to see 20% compound growth over the next ten years. It will involve far more electronics, drive by wire, control by Internet of Things, all integrated into the vehicle."
CEVA Logistics offers one of the widest range of services to the automotive sector from inbound to production plants and value-added assembly, to hand carries on passenger flights and airfreight charters.
Dudek says that the amount of moving components in an EV will reduce by 90% compared with existing cars, with more software and semi-conductors required.
"Batteries will be shipped by airfreight only if they have to, but because of their importance to the EVs, we will see a growing need there.
"Batteries are such a critical component and so tied to the design – so we are also seeing quite a lot of use of airfreight in the engineering and testing phase."
Source: CEVA
He says that accessing airfreight capacity has been challenging in the last 18 months or so, but "typically you can get capacity of you have good planning and many partners across the industry".
Around three years ago, Bolloré Logistics decided to accelerate its growth in the automotive industry "to help support the industry through its technological transition".
It has formed a team of dedicated global experts and is building Competence Centers in strategic locations around the world.
Jean-Philippe Tison, automotive director, explains that "fewer parts and different parts will feature in EV production. The main challenge is linked to the inbound and reverse logistics of the batteries and how to safely handle their transport.
"We will also face other challenges with new suppliers located in different parts of the world that we will have to supply with the same quality of services."
He stresses that airfreight is a key solution in the Bolloré portfolio: "We offer different services for parts and cars (economic, regular, express) that are managed with our core partners or can be handled by our own services depending on our customers' needs.
"For the last 14 months, Bolloré Logistics has organised dedicated air charter services with regular flights to cope with the present situation due to the Covid-19 pandemic and operational capacity issues."

Opportunities for airfreight
Stuart Stobie, director, Priority Freight, admits that while recent months have been challenging in the auto logistics sector, "from a business perspective we are happy to organise airfreight".
Lack of capacity on ships, a shortage of semi-conductors due to lockdown and delays of four to five weeks on rail freight out of China have all provided good opportunities for airfreight.
"During the pandemic we organised shipments of PPE for our automotive clients as they got production plants up and running again," he says.
"Any shipments were really hard work – we never knew whether goods would fly and there was no certainty over transit times."
"Things opened up after first wave. We saw real activity as manufacturers ramped up production and tried to meet targets.
"They were doing anything they could do to keep the supply chains flowing. But road, rail, ocean and air – all were sky high rates as the capacity was never enough."
He predicts that the biggest disrupter in the short-term will be the crossover when all three types – combustion, hybrid and electric – are all manufactured at the same time.
"EVs have fewer components than combustion, but the supply chain is still relatively tight and fragile. I can't see airfreight reducing significantly in the near future.
"Provided we have semi-conductor availability, we expect to see very busy September and that it will stay like that until early next year."
Stobie worked in the parcel industry for 28 years and says they were able to forecast volumes pretty accurately, "but the automotive industry is notoriously difficult to predict and affected by all sorts of things, even weather – such as hurricanes damaging production plants".
"That moves prices for the supply chain up and down, even in normal times," he says.
Bernard Lee, Etihad Cargo regional manager in Thailand, agrees that the automotive industry will face "large-scale market disruptions in the next ten years".
"The disruptions will be mainly due to the increasing interest in EVs over the traditional combustion engine vehicles.
"The result will be a massive shrinkage of number of auto parts required to build a vehicle – from 2000+ parts for the traditional combustion engine vehicle to around 200 components for EVs.
"This will mean changes to current supply chain models as well as a potential shift of production locations to cities with suitable infrastructure for producing EVs."
Etihad offers a FlightValet service for its automotive customers, including those moving luxury cars around the world on both passenger and freighter flights.
The airline predicts demand may reduce as there will be fewer car shows due to Covid-19 restrictions.
"A focus within the automotive as well as the transportation sector will be the need for CO2 friendly solutions ensuring the sectors will be sustainable for the years to come," the company says.
The automotive sector is one of the main drivers of growth for time:matters, the experts in time critical express transport founded as a 100% subsidiary of Lufthansa Cargo in 2002.
Lars Krosch. Source: time:matters
Lars Krosch, chief operating officer, time:matters, says: "In recent years we have seen a high demand for individual and high-performance transport solutions for OEMs as well as for Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers.
"As part of the Lufthansa Group, we combine special access to the capabilities of an airline merged with the capabilities of a door to door forwarding agent."
He says that premium freight is the plan B for the various disruptions that occur unpredictably.
"Whether it's the Ever Given incident in the Suez Canal, the blizzard and the heatwave in Texas or low water in China – in a connected world the demand for bypasses is heavily increasing.
"A 23kg box can easily cause a line stoppage for five automotive plants, and the line stoppage costs can be easily between €250,000 to €500,000 and even more, per event."
The Covid-19 pandemic has been a prime example of disruption. "Since April 2020, air freight has become the main artery for supply chains worldwide.
"First of all, to serve the demand of PPE shipments and in the second stage to ensure the ramp up phase of the economy."
But the pandemic has also been a catalyst. "Overall, a long-demanded higher level of transparency has been established throughout supply chains (between OEMs and Tier 2 and Tier 3 provider) in a volatile world," Krosch explains.
"The bottom line is that digitisation and an intelligently networked, transparent supply chain, such as we offer at time:matters, will be the decisive success factor for the logistics of the future."
Air charter solutions
Neil Dursley, chief commercial officer, Chapman Freeborn, says the majority of work that the air charter broker handles for the automotive sector involved delivering parts to production lines.
"We manage large volumes of product for German auto manufacturers. It's mainly movements from Germany and Central Europe.
to the US and Mexico, and from China to the US and Europe. The transatlantic route has traditionally been a strong automotive route."
The Covid-19 pandemic has seen a dramatic rise in the use of on-board carriers (OBC). "Since Q3 of last year, we have been using this to deliver large volume of auto parts all over the globe. On a mostly daily basis for months at a time."
Initially, there were very few passenger flights, so that was a huge issue. "But there was also a problem with people needing to be quarantined, so we needed to find innovative ways around that."
Chapman Freeborn would use multiple couriers, so the one arriving would hand goods over to another courier on the ground, and immediately go into quarantine. Once out of quarantine, the first courier was available again to do a flight.
time:matters expands transatlantic same-day service
Antonov transports automotive parts as demand picks up
IAG Cargo reports increased automotive demand
"It is expensive, but auto companies were prepared to pay as it was only way of getting the time critical products they needed. Sometimes we would use a private passenger jet to get parts delivered – especially if it was something small that needed to get to an obscure place."
Chapman Freeborn is part of Avia Solutions Group, and works closely with its sister companies Magma Aviation and Arcus Air Logistic to find the best supply chain solution for customers.
Dursley says: "We don't run scheduled services, but we do offer regular services on some routes such as transatlantic. We have about 11 rotations a week operating between Europe and various destinations in North America and lots of them are on behalf of the automotive market."
Chapman Freeborn works closely with global airline partners but sister company Magma Aviation has increased its own fleet of B-747 -400 freighters from three to five.
He says: "Every week we have large freight forwarders coming to us to ensure they have continuity for clients' supply chains. They have locked in capacity by buying long-term programmes [beyond 12 months]."

--- Erfolgsautor Michael Moore, dessen Bücher und Filme in Deutschland jüngst aufgrund ihres teilweise recht leichtfertigen Umgangs mit der Wahrheit kritisiert wurden, hat die Goldene Palme in Cannes gewonnen: Damit wird weniger die Genialität seines Dokumentarstreifens Fahrenheit 9/11 ausgezeichnet, als vielmehr seine "Lebensleistung" als Bush-Kritiker: For Moore, the win was more than an artistic triumph. It amounted to a political hand grenade lobbed at the White House. The documentary makes no bones about its point of view: that President Bush's invasion of Iraq amounted to a diversionary tactic -- to take attention away from Bush's personal and business links with oil-rich Saudi Arabians, including members of the bin Laden family. It also portrays the president as out of his depth as a leader. Interessanterweise hat der Film weltweit Distributoren -- nur nicht in den USA. Last month, Walt Disney, the distributor of the movie through its Miramax division, had blocked the release of the documentary, citing its politically divisive content. This left "Fahrenheit 9/11" high and dry as it approached its scheduled July 2 opening date. Harvey Weinstein, Miramax's co-president, has vowed to distribute the movie one way or another, whether by buying the film and distributing it independently or releasing it through a third party. Negotiations between Weinstein and Disney are ongoing.

Decadal environmental 'memory' in a reef coral?
B. E. Brown, R. P. Dunne, A. J. Edwards, M. J. Sweet, N. Phongsuwan
Environmental Research Institute
West sides of the coral Coelastrea aspera, which had achieved thermo-tolerance after previous experience of high solar irradiance in the field, were rotated through 180o on a reef flat in Phuket, Thailand (7o50´N, 98o25.5´E), in 2000 in a manipulation experiment and secured in this position. In 2010, elevated sea temperatures caused extreme bleaching in these corals, with former west sides of colonies (now facing east) retaining four times higher symbiont densities than the east sides of control colonies, which had not been rotated and which had been subject to a lower irradiance environment than west sides throughout their lifetime. The reduced bleaching susceptibility of the former west sides in 2010, compared to handling controls, suggests that the rotated corals had retained a 'memory' of their previous high irradiance history despite living under lower irradiance for 10 years. Such long-term retention of an environmental 'memory' raises important questions about the acclimatisation potential of reef corals in a changing climate and the mechanisms by which it is achieved.

!!!X-Men Dark Phoenix Supposedly Bad!!!
Vague News is Vague but it has a quote from someone we should totally take serious...who has chosen to remain anonymous!
Thoughts on this totally shocking yet partly expected but ultimately irrelevant article!??!?
This is totally and utterly legit!!! NNNNOOOOO!!!!!!
they should just send this straight to Blu-ray. I mean is anyone even interested in seeing ANOTHER Phoenix movie that wont be as good as the comic?? not me.
@butterflykyss: I am. I myself am not ready to judge it just yet, but I am cautiously optimistic. This doesn't feel like the Fan4stic scenario where it's just a cash grab. It seems more like them tying up loose ends, which I suppose will be fine with me, whether it's bad or not.
If it's bad, well, we won't get anymore movies and I will know for sure what to tell people who are wondering about it but don't want to take the risk just yet. If it's good, I've seen a good movie and enjoyable representation of my favorite story.
Though they have spent a lot of time on reshoots and it has been delayed pretty heavily.
Eh....thing is that from the ending of Apocalypse I've thought that it was way too early to do a Phoenix movie since we were JUST introduced to Jean.
But honestly theres this wave of hate on that comes toward anything not MCU so it's hard to separate fact from fiction on this.
You know what, except fro the Avengers movies, I havent' really watched all MCU movies and other superhero movies even if they we re good movies. I am a huge X-men fan and despite of not liking their movies, I still watch them on theaters. So yeah, even if they say the next xmen film is horrible, I would still watch it. It may be the last bad x-men film anyway.
I know Disney will make Xmen movies great in the future.
The Dark Phoenix trailers reminded me too much of X-Men 3. A movie which I absolutely hated. There's also the meta of Marvel having reacquired X-Men and thus this is potentially what the current Sony X-Men universe will end on.
It's funny how they can do something as brutally cathartic as Logan, yet miss the mark again with the X-Men.
It's a good thing I don't like the Original five too much, or I would actually be annoyed.
So it's actually like 4 xmen films that showed Phoenic. It's too much and too annoying. It wouldn't have been if it was done well.
@jhazzroucher: I agree. The Dark Phoenix Saga really expanded the X-Men world. I remember I enjoyed it in the comics and cartoons (first time I saw the Shi'ar Imperial Guard). But the movies are limited as to what they can show, due to ownership rights.
Oh look another one of these legit resources we can totally trust, but hey everything will be automatically good as soon as it will get attached to the junk food party of Mediocre Carbonpaper Universe, Ima telling you.
Honestly just put it on Netflix for all I care, I'm more excited for any MCU X-Men news than for this movie.
I'm still going to watch it. At least, I'll still be in heaven seeing Storm, even with only a few lines and a few scene.
At this point, I'm just curious about the feats that will be shown...and the slew of Phoenix Jean vs Dceu Doomsday threads that will soon follow.
@hopesummersforthefuture: 1) I was being sarcastic in the comment you just quoted.
•X-Men: Dated But still enjoyable on aspects like Mystique vs Wolverine, Ian Mckellen is always a joy, and nice Jean and Wolvie chemistry.
•X2: First And foremost, Phoenix build-up and powerful scenes in emotional and visual ways from Jean. Next, Nightcrawler was awesome, Lady Deathstrike vs Wolverine is one I anticipate everytime, Storms vs Jason Stryker is creepy in all the right ways, Scott did the most in this movie than any of the movies he has ever been in period, and Professor X really did show why he is the most powerful psychic after Jean in this movie.
•Days of Future Past: A complicated Mystique, beautiful future sequences, Storm shows great power displays, Blink was my absolute favorite in this movie, Quicksilver is entertaining, Magneto finally does something of his own motivations and not by someone else's, a powerful moment between two Professors, and the ending with Jeans and Scott.
•Apocalypse: Apocalypse was an actual threat bigger than anything he X-Men have faced. Psylocke has a comic accurate costume and powers. Once more, Quicksilver gets one of the best sequences. Kurt was fun to watch, nice surprise Wolverine sequence, Storm was the most accurate in this film than any film she has been, the costumes at the end were magnificent, Magneto was good (even though he took up most of the movie), James McAvoy really resembles Patrick Stewart finally not only in look but as the teacher to his students, and finally, Jean, the best parts of the movie with most beautiful cgi sequences outside of Apocalypse himself.
I want to see a fight between Storm and Phoenix in this movie.
@hopesummersforthefuture: I like Days of Future Past, but then they killed Emma Frost off screen and I'm very much indifferent to the film entirely.
Not I only I hope it is good, but I also hope that this incarnation of the characters will survive the Disney-Fox merging business.


In short: how do they stack? the description says the armour spell "generates a barrier that adds to both ballistic and impact armour". Does this imply the spell counts as soft armour, or does it add hardened armour on top of a vehicle?
Since it adds its rating to the existing armor the type of armor generated will be the same as the type that is already affecting the target. Thus, a veichle with armor 4 targeted by a force 5 armor spell will function as a veichle with armor 9.
The way I would rule it is that it's soft armor regardless of what it's cast on. In past threads it has been established that it's not a good idea to think about it too hard -- you might run into trouble with characters buying normal clothing with Gel Packs (at negligible cost, providing B1/I1 hardened armor) and then casting Armor-6 on top of that.
I agree with Austere Emancipator on this.
Vehicle armour +6 to command vehicle.
I rather think not. Although a glowing field around your vehicle really dose scream shoot me.
I would rule that it reduces the power of the weapon by the spells force (halved for AV and APDS) before considering the vehicle armour.
In other words it is soft armour.
I would also rule that no mater what other armour your wearing the armour provided by an armour spell is not hardened. If you want it to be hardened learn the hardened armour spell witch has +1 drain level and only adds half force to hardened armour. (or something like that).
Sounds reasonable. I was wondering since my group's mage knows that spell (being a physad, he doesn't have too many spells to begin with), and after encountering a chimera and losing an irretrievable drone (Branscan), I was wondering if that way, a drone (or, for thatb matter, any vehicle) could get an added layer of protection.
Drone (armour 4) is attacked by someone firing a HMG (11S base damage). Armour 5 is cast on the drone. The effective power level of the HMG drops to 6S; according to the vehicle armour rules, that halves to 3, meaning the drone isn't affected by the attack.
Very effective, even without adding itself as hardened armour.
"The armor spell is compatible with all armor types and adds its rating to the rating of the physical armor being worn"
This implies that the armor provided by the spell is the same as the armor the target is currently wearing. "always soft armor" is a house rule.
It is however a reasonable house rule, since this spell would be very powerfull when cast on veichles otherwise.
When cast on anything but veichles it doesn't matter.
Yes it does. Consider Gel-packed Secure Long Coat (available at chargen for 3250 nyyen) + Armor-6 vs. 10 rounds of FA HMG fire. If you just added the Armor spell as hardened armor, you'd be immune. If you add it as normal (soft) armor, the guy's still facing 10D.
Are you even allowed to cast that spell on a vehicle?
And if it's allowed, is it at higher difficulty and risk? It would take a larger field to protect a car than a person, for example. Why should it be as easy as protecting yourself?
(Object resistance+body+(half armor))divided by two.
This spell creates a glowing field of magical energy around the target that protects against impact and ballistic damage. One success is enough to create the magical field around the character of an Armor Rating equal to the Force of the spell. The Armor spell is compatible with all armor types and adds its rating to the rating of the physical armor being worn.
While 'Target' may be ambiguous, 'around the character' & 'physical armor being worn' are pretty explicit.
You could create a custom armor spell for vehicles.... But I'd hate to see the drain and Target number for it.
Here's where we can spend 10 pages debating the word 'affect'... IMO, the armor spell *doesn't* affect a vehicle (even if you could cast it on a vehicle).... it creates a barrier around the vehicle. The vehicle itself is in no way changed/modified or otherwise 'affected' any more than if you had a troll standing in front with a riot shield to block shots coming at the vehicle.
Nothing canon to suggest that it is hard or soft. It simply produces a magical field of a certain Armour Rating. By the book, it should stack on top of the Hardened Armour. However, whether it can be cast at a vehicle, it is open to debate.
Why can't you? CC requirements for Gel Packs are x2/x4 availability, x5 cost, +2 street index. Secure long coat is 3/24hrs, 650¥, with gel packs that goes up to, 6/4days, 3250¥. Whats the problem?
You can't add any mods to securetech clothing.
Edit: so, there's nothing saying that you can cast it on veichles, but if you could it would add to the veichle armor right? And casting it on someone wearing hardened armor would improve their hardened armor, it is not another layer of soft armor.
Canonly, it adds directly to the armor rating, if its hardened, it adds hardened, vehicle it adds vehicles, etc.
True, but by cannon rules the avg. person weighs 150 kilos.
(Bod 3*50kg). Some rules don't make sense or are game unbalancing. I'd say make it soft armor, as not doing so make it too easy to munchkin.
Where is this rule in SR3? I have never seen or heard of it.
According to canon the average human weighs 70kg, (SR3), I don't know where you pulled that body*50kg from but that's just sick, makes humans range from 50kg to 300kg, with those being in best shape and fitness also bieng the most obese ones. Just sick!
However, casting on any armored or unarmored person I fail to see the problem with letting it be hardened armor for those wearing hardened armor.
Almost all regular armor is legal, completely legal. AFAIK all hardened armor is not only restricted, but is also impossible for civilians to get a permit for. If you're wearing very visible hardened armor and going around with a glowing armor field around you, you deserve a high armor-rating, because you can expect a lot more trouble than anyone else. Not only are you wearing mil-spec gear, you're surrounded by an illegaly high force spell that is visible.
Now, for people wearing normal or no armor, and the armor spell, the benefit isn't to great, but it's still good.
For people wearing hardened and the armor spell, the benefit is great, but they're like a glowing sign saying arrest me.
Limiting this spell when cast on hardened armor would be like limiting the enhance aim (or whatever it's called) when cast on someone using a big gun, because their net benefit of hitting someone with their gun is higher than that of a character with a hold-out.
In short, why houserule "soft armor only" to penalize those willing to put a glowing field around their very obvious and illegal armor?
If we consider the Armour spell to always be soft armour, then another question arises.
Is the armour spell calculated before or after any hardened armour?
Brick the Thick is wearing a light military armor (hardened) with rating 7/6 and an armour spell force 5 on top of that.
Someone shoots him with 3 rounds from an Ares HV MP-LMG (6S base staging to 9D).
Either the Light Military armor takes the damage down to 2D (with the armour spell not really helping) or the armour spell drops the damage to 3D which is below half power of the hardened armour, thus effectively doing no damage.
Now does Brick the Thick soak 2D or nothing?
It does state that the glowing field of the Armor spell is cast around the subject, so logically it should count first, lowering the power of the attack before factoring the actual worn armor.
No matter what, Brick the Thick is unharmed because the base, unmodified Power of the attack is lesser than or equal to the rating of the hardened armor.
Fortune: Yes, that would be logical. And remind me to try the unarmored clothing + Gel Packs + Armor-6 combo in any game you're running.
What would be the alternative?
Note that I am not, nor have I ever advocated that the Armor spell increase hardened armor. As far as I am concerned, it is always normal armor, no matter what the person is actually wearing.
If I got what you're saying right, the alternative would be to count all armor at the same time, and still consider the hardened armor "no effect" limit to be just the rating of the actual piece of armor providing the hardened effect.
For example, consider the above-mentioned unarmored clothing + Gel Packs + Force 6 Armor. This provides hardened Ballistic 1/Impact 1, +6 points of Ballistic and Impact from the spell. If you factor the Armor spell in first, the character is in effect immune to any single shots or attacks with a Power of less than or equal to 7. A SMG burst (7M -> 10S) would, I assume, still do damage to the character according to this application of the rules.
If you counted all the armor at the same time, someone with the above set-up could still theoretically be harmed with a Light Pistol firing normal ammunition.
I think that's basically what I meant. I guess I just didn't word it well. I meant that the Hardened Armor wouldn't (or shouldn't) be increased by the spell.


We know it has been hard for you since your husband, Jaiye left you and the kids but have you opened up your life to let someone else in?
Aboderin: I have friends that make me happy.
Obviously, but we are talking about that special someone you intend to spend the rest of your life with. You know there have been a lot of speculations?
Aboderin: (Sarcastic laughter) Na me know who my relationship partner be. Nobody can tell me who he is but I have a friend who is very special to me. I am not getting married, I don't know what they are writing about or anything like that, and I am just living a good life. I have somebody who likes me, I like him and that is the most important thing. We make each other happy.
Do you have special moments you share with this person at romantic spots; the relationship seems to be very secretive?
Aboderin: Romantic? I don't know about that for now, I'm just trying to pick up the pieces of my life.
We will be glad if you can be more specific about this person because everyone who likes you out there wants to know the truth about what is going on in your life and how you are coping?
Aboderin: Well, as I have always said, that would come when God says it's time. Everybody needs love, every woman needs it, and I need it. I am not super human or a robot, I am human, I need a lot of love but right now the friend that I have is really showing me a lot of affection. I won't talk about romance because I am not sure about what the concept is about romance but I know that I have a good friendship with someone who is very nice to me and very nice to my children. And that is the best I can say for now. This is why I don't want to say something I am not sure of yet, I am just trying to pick up my life, I am trying to know people, I am trying to know and understand him, that is if we are right for each other but I mean I can't tell you that oh I have a relationship, I have a boyfriend.
So how long should we wait before we get invited to a wedding?
Aboderin: No, not soon because that is not my priority. I am not ready now.
Aboderin: My priority is actually knowing and finding myself again. You know, I was married for a long time, I had children, I was a family woman but now I am a single parent. I have to actually stabilise my life as a single parent, that is what I mean by trying to find myself again, now as a person as supposed to being a married woman, I am Stella Damasus now. I have to take care of my children the best way I can.
Aboderin: Oh! They are great, they are fantastic.
How old are they again?
They are going to be eight and five this year. For me the most important thing is to work hard, take care of my children, make them happy and then find happiness.
Would we see you more often now on the screens, you have been away for quite a long time?
Aboderin: Yes, the ban is over; I am going to start working again. I took time off because I had other business I was working on, so I am just trying to make sure that the other things I was doing are stabilized and can run on their own.
How about your music career?
Aboderin: Well, I am still working on that, I don't want to rush it because I have been singing for about ten years, so I don't want to come out now and do something that is not nice. So I am taking my time working with different producers to come up with something good.
You were known first as a musician before you became popular as an actress and one would have thought by now you should be way up the charts in your music career, Why the switch?
Aboderin: Yes, I would have more than this because my husband and I had actually started doing an album; we even got a CORA nomination for one of our songs. We were about to finish it when he died and when that happened, I just had to take time off to actually know what I wanted to do first before going back to that.
So what is your reaction to the stories the press has been oozing out on the tabloids about your life after Jaiye?
Aboderin: Of course, there are two sides to it. First of all, they are doing their job but then again, there are some people that don't actually do investigative journalism. There are others that don't understand that there are some things that are derogatory. This is not America where anything goes, this is Africa where people have families, where people have people that are hurt by some things and I just wish that some press men will actually wait to find out what is going on. Because a lot of them just write based on what they have heard from sources that are not always reliable.
But have you ever countered any report against you, especially the ones that were outright insulting?
Aboderin: I can when you are given a chance to be spoken to like, you are giving me the chance to speak now but when you just wake up in the morning and find something written about you because some one else has gone to give them a story, then there is nothing you can do about it. And then how many of such stories do you want to go back and raise dust. It's not everybody that you can raise such issues with. So sometimes, it's just better to live your life and just move on, people that are more important to your life know the truth about what is going on.
Do you feel comfortable always talking about Jaiye, I mean it's been two years now and people always bring it up.
Aboderin: I love Jaiye, he is always in my heart and I don't have any regrets talking about him because I always say positive things about him. He was the best man I had ever known and before now I used to feel very hurt and sad when they mention his name but now, instead of crying all the time, I decided to start celebrating him because he is worth celebrating.
What plans are you working on in the effort to immortalise him?
Aboderin: There are so many things that I am doing right now and there are so many people that are working in collaboration with me, I really don't want to talk about it until it starts to happen. Then people will see what it is that I have done. Because by the time I start to say it, they will now try to decide how it should be done or when it should be done but it has to be at my pace because I was the one who was married to the man and I know what he was about and what he likes. So I will rather do it like that.
You have been very strong for widows out there and they look up to you as a woman that has been able to keep things together despite the tragedies. Where does your strength come from?
Aboderin: God. I just pray to God to give me strength and wisdom and that is what he has done.
Who is the new Stella now, after all the phases in life you have gone through?
Aboderin: Stella is stronger, more mature, more dedicated, more business minded and more focused. I will continue to do my best no matter what.

Spray-on a Power Plant for every building? How to generate electricity on existing windows
Jerry Schranz
EDITOR'S PICK: Since New Energy Technologies submitted this idea in July, they've announced the expansion of their SolarWindow coating to commercial and military aircrafts. Pilots may soon find the company's see-through, energy-generating technology on aircraft windows, flight suits, helmets and visors. Researchers envision applying the light-weight coatings to pilot safety equipment, thus providing a source of power in the case of an emergency.
SolarWindow is an organic photovoltaic (OPV) solar array composed of ultra-thin layers forming small cells. SolarWindow™ generates clean electricity on see-through glass windows, by making use of the energy of natural sunlight and artificial sources such as fluorescent and LED lighting typically installed in offices, schools, and commercial buildings. The coating is an organic photovoltaic solar array composed of ultra-thin layers forming small cells, using mostly hydrogen-carbon based substances. When interconnected in a grid-like arrangement, an array of these OPV cells increase the voltage potential and electrical current in a given area. The electricity-generating coating that produces electrical energy from natural and artificial light can be applied to the entire façade of a building or applied on surfaces at low-temperatures and atmospheric pressures. It can also be used in conjunction with existing energy conservation technologies such as low E coatings. When applied to the façade of an office building, SolarWindow is capable of generating over 300 percent the energy savings of traditional rooftop panels. New Energy Technologies, Inc.'s SolarWindow technology utilizes an organic solar array composed of a series of ultra-small solar cells measuring less than ¼ the size of a grain of rice each. They are fabricated using environmentally-friendly hydrogen-carbon based materials, and successfully produce electricity, as demonstrated in a published peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy of the American Institute of Physics.
Generating Electricity on Glass Windows and See-Through Films • SolarWindow generates electricity and remains see-through on glass windows and plastics similar to commercially-available window tint films. Conventional 'thin film' and solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are dark and obscure, nearly impossible to see through.
Spray-On Electricity-Generating Power Plants • SolarWindow electricity-generating coatings can be applied using various low-cost production methods, and can even be sprayed on to glass and plastics. This cannot be achieved with traditional PV manufacturing methods.
Lower Cost, Room Temperature Production • SolarWindow processing can be performed at room (ambient) temperature and pressure, unlike conventional thin-film PV, which typically requires high temperature and pressure (high negative or high positive pressure) sensitive manufacturing methods that usually add to the high costs of currently-available PV production.
Electricity from Artificial Light • Most conventional PV systems rely on near direct exposure to natural sunlight. SolarWindow technology uses artificial light energy, such as fluorescent lighting typical in office buildings, as well as natural light energy to generate electricity, and is capable of producing electricity with indirect or low-light conditions.
Shaded Exposures where Sunlight is Limited • SolarWindow can be applied to all four sides of a building (including shaded areas) and operate during varying weather seasons, in low-light conditions, and from indirect sunlight, unlike current conventional solar PV technologies, which largely depends on near direct exposure to sunlight. Electricity-Generating Flexible Surfaces • SolarWindow has been shown to generate electricity on flexible plastics, while today's conventional PV competing technologies are thick and rigid and cannot be similarly applied.

So You Want A Website?
WebSmartSierra is a small company staffed currently only by its owner – me, Judy Barlow. I consult with a wide variety of small business owners and non-profits about building and/or maintaining existing websites. I also do a considerable amount of tutoring on current applications like Quicken, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Quickbooks, as well as helping people with general Windows and Mac setup and maintenance.
I have been in the computer business for over forty years. I moved to the Nevada County area several years ago, and also moved from large system design consulting into website design and building. I've found that the skills I developed as a consultant have served me well in determining and fulfilling the requirements of clients wanting to build custom websites. I have steadily built the new skills necessary to stay abreast of current developments in web design and coding techniques.
Many small businesses and non-profits in the area have a need for the services I can offer, especially at my reasonable rates. These companies are most comfortable with a webmaster with whom they can meet face-to-face and who can help them learn what it takes to create and maintain their own websites. I try very hard to speak English instead of Nerd, so laughingly call myself the "genial geek". See my So You Want A Website page for a non-geek explanation of what needs to be considered before building a website.
My full large system resume is available on request. It includes information on the various systems I was involved with over the years. Web Design does not fit the same paradigm, so the most recent part of my history is simply demonstrated on the various sites listed under the See My Sites. Only those companies whose websites I currently maintain or are under construction have links to active websites in that section. The rest are static pictures of the sites as they existed after design. A few websites are not present at all, as they were abandoned by the clients because of the work involved on their part. Again, see my So You Want A Website page to get an inkling of whether that might happen to you!
I have experience with most databases used by website engines, using PHP, CGI, MySql, etc. If I haven't done it yet, it likely isn't used much (yet).
I have solid skills in HTML and XHTML,Visual Basic .net, XML.
I have designed/built on several platforms, including native HTML websites, Joomla (1.6), and WordPress. I currently recommend the latter for clients who want a set of well-established and well-maintained supporting software and/or wish to maintain their own websites on an ongoing basis, with little or no reliance on me.
I can use just about any web design tool available and am quite proficient at most Adobe tools, including Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and Flash.

Poetry in 1960, a symposium
Edited by Al Filreis
Rexroth to Kerouac
Bob Perelman's "hats off to Donald Allen" sent me back to The New American Poetry. [1] Allen's brief preface sketches out an open field of postwar American poetry, from the modernists to a "strong third generation" which "has at last emerged." [2] Bob remarked upon the curiosity of Allen's "second generation": his motley list surprises us today by presenting a strange — and perhaps welcome — bump in the road from the modernist masters to "our avant-garde." Bishop and Lowell are understandable in 1960; Denby and Zukofsky, remarkable; and then there's Rexroth.
Kerouac famously captured this perverse elder statesman of the Beats in his 1958 The Dharma Bums: as Rheinhold Cacoethes, Rexroth was "the father of the Frisco poetry scene," a "bow-tied wild-haired old anarchist fud." [3] On the night of Japhy Ryder's (Gary Snyder's) farewell party, we hear Cacoethes holding forth on the state of poetry: "I guess the only real poets in this country, outside the orbit of this little backyard, are Doctor Musial, who's probably muttering behind his living-room curtains right now, and Dee Sampson, who's too rich. That leaves us dear old Japhy here who's going away to Japan, and our wailing friend Goldbook and our Mr. Coughlin, who has a sharp tongue. By God, I'm the only good one here." [4] Rexroth claims his place between Williams and Ginsberg, the good doctor behind the curtains and the howling young man in the yard.
To Kerouac's alter ego Ray Smith, Cacoethes is dismissive: "'Well I guess he's a Bodhisattva in its frightful aspect, 'ts about all I can say.' (Aside, sneering, 'He's too drrronk all the time.')" [5] The Dharma Bums rewrote On the Road, replacing Sal Paradise's search for "It" with the dharma, while Ray Smith's way to nirvana skewed the rarefied derangement of midcentury American Buddhism — led by Snyder and approved by Rexroth — with wild eyed confusion. This frightful Bodhisattva is on display in The New American Poetry: Kerouac's Mexico City Blues opens the Beat section of Allen's anthology, twelve choruses which recall the Buddha inflected delirium of his world.
These choruses embody the capacious vision of the anthology: the Buddha talk embraces everything and nothing, leaping "Across Arabies of hot/ meaning." [6] Oriental sagacity is shot through with the blues in Mexico City: these poems assume the meeting of east and west, north and south. For many of the poets in Allen's anthology, the open space of poetry was part and parcel of a spiritual conversion. To read Kerouac's entry is to recall how astonishingly open this practice was — and to remember a longing for self-transformation inseparable from social transformation. Bob's appreciation of The New American Poetry crucially noted that the anthology was not capacious in terms of gender or race; instead, Kerouac and his ilk layered modernism's formal modes of inclusion with the Whitmanian fantasy of incantatory social inclusion.
Cacoethes's censure of Ray Smith demonstrates the baton passing from an arbiter of poetry to an imbiber of it. Donald Allen's 1998 afterword to The New American Poetry discusses its reception, concluding with a vitriolic review: "as for the majority of Mr. Allen's poets they are kids who took up poetry the way one takes up marijuana, Buddhism, switchblade knives, wife swapping, or riding in boxcars, neither more nor less seriously than other 'kicks.' Happily, however, they are no threat to poetry." [7] A remarkably accurate depiction of Kerouac, down to the end: Kerouac gave up Buddhism the way he abandoned everything else. But, as he writes in his 179th Chorus, "I was the most beautiful / Boy of my generation" — a child "waiting for philosophy's / dreadful murderer / BUDDHA." [8] In the late 1950s, Rexroth was holding on to "real poets," but he could only look on while Kerouac demonstrated that it was all for kicks.
Allen's afterword recalls his initial plan to lead off with the first two generations of American poets, which was nixed by Olson, who said, "If the thing we are now in is it is just in its own character." [9] In The New American Poetry, the strange profusion of "it" in Olson's insistence on excluding "grandpas" opens into Kerouac's "It" of transcendence: of course, they couldn't help but install themselves within a poetic lineage, but Allen's anthology freed them from their predecessors. These new American poets were drrronk with a new beauty that awaited — and invited — dreadful murder.

Detail from 'Couriers reporting to the emperor,' via Wikimedia Commons.
The racialization — and weaponization — of "sociology," "social," and "social science" as descriptors for poetry by people of color is particularly crude; at its foundation it suggests that their/our poems are merely collections of empirical observations, that they are self-referential expressions of social particularity largely devoid of stylistic elements such as rhythm, metaphor, etc. Stripped of poetic markers the poems cease to be poems; they become a sort of personal testimony, autoethnographies, that elicit from critics further reductive descriptors such as "cultural" and "identitarian."
Renee Gladman's Ravicka series almost didn't get published. Dalkey Archive Press planned to publish the first two installations, Event Factory and The Ravickians, but then didn't. Danielle Dutton, a consultant for Dalkey, couldn't understand why not.
