Red Wings legend Ted Lindsay dead at 93

By Ansar Khan | akhan1@mlive.com
Ted Lindsay, the talented and abrasive left wing on the Detroit Red Wings' famed Production Line of the 1950s and a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, has died.
Lindsay spent 14 of his 17 NHL seasons with the Red Wings and was part of four Stanley Cup championships from 1950-55, often playing alongside fellow Hall of Famers Gordie Howe and Sid Abel.
Lindsay played 862 games with the Red Wings and ranks sixth on the franchise list in goals (335) and ninth in points (728).
Nicknamed "Terrible Ted" for his physical style, despite his 5-foot-8, 163-pound frame, Lindsay racked up 1,808 penalty minutes in 1,068 career games,
The Red Wings released the following statement from the Lindsay family:
"Ted was a persistent, courageous and determined man both on and off the ice. He was a man of many firsts. We are comforted in knowing that the Ted Lindsay legacy will forever be a part of history and are so proud of the many lives he helped change for the better through his tireless humanitarian work. Arrangements will be announced when they are finalized."
Christopher Ilitch, Red Wings governor and president and CEO of Ilitch Holdings, issued the following statement:
"Ted Lindsay was a Detroit Red Wings legend and icon, a hall of fame hockey player and Stanley Cup champion, and an even better person off the ice. He operated with a generous heart and was a great humanitarian, particularly to the Detroit Community and to young disadvantaged children. Ted was a great friend to my parents and to my entire family. He was endeared by legions of Detroit Red Wings fans and to all who played the great game of hockey. On behalf of Marian Ilitch and myself, our sincere condolences go out to his family and friends. While he will be sorely missed by us and many others, his positive impact to the game and to our community will live on."
Lindsay was a first-team NHL All-Star eight times (second team once) and played in 11 All-Star Games. He won the Art Ross Trophy in 1950 as the NHL's leading scorer (78 points).
His most productive season was 1956-57, when he tallied 85 points, including 30 goals, in 70 games.
He was traded, however, to the Chicago Black Hawks following the season because of his role in trying to form a players union. Lindsay led the efforts to form the NHL Players Association, which was established in 1967.
Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said of Lindsay in a statement: "Ted was the most fearless hockey player of all-time, but his skill level could match up with any player from his era. The Red Wings organization would certainly not be held in the regard it is today if not for his contributions to four Stanley Cup championship teams and later as the team's general manager. He was always a regular visitor to the Red Wings dressing room, and there was never a single player who didn't go out of their way to introduce themselves and come away awed by the experience. I will treasure the many conversations we had over the past several decades and would like to offer my deepest sympathies to the Lindsay family."
NHLPA executive director Donal Fehr issued the following statement:
"All current and former NHL players lost a true friend with the passing of Ted Lindsay. "Terrible Ted" was one of the fiercest competitors to ever play in the NHL, and he enjoyed great success on the Detroit's fabled "Production Line", helping lead the Red Wings to four Stanley Cup championships. On the ice, Ted Lindsay was one of the best players to ever to put on a pair of skates.
"But his greatest legacy was off the ice. A true trailblazer in seeking to improve conditions for all players, Ted was instrumental in organizing the original Players' Association in 1957. All Players, past, current and future, are in his debt. All those who have, and will follow him into the NHL, enjoy improved rights and benefits in large part due to the efforts he made.
"In recognition for Ted's extraordinary contributions on the players' behalf, the NHLPA proudly renamed our 'Most Outstanding Player' award after him in 2010. It was special that Ted and his beloved late wife Joanne were a part of that process. He appreciated the honor that was bestowed on him, and it was a pleasure having him on-hand to present his namesake award on six separate occasions. Ted deserves many accolades for his work on and off the ice in hockey, but the charitable work he has done in recent years to support autism research and educational programs through the Ted Lindsay Foundation is simply incredible and is a testament to Ted's character. He simply never stopped giving back and helping others.
"The players are much better off today thanks to Ted Lindsay. His passing leaves a significant void, and he will be greatly missed by the entire hockey world and beyond. On behalf of all current NHL players and the NHLPA's staff, I pass along heartfelt condolences to Ted's family and friends."
The NHLPA in 2010 renamed the Lester B. Pearson Award as the Ted Lindsay Award. It is given annually to the NHL's most outstanding player in the regular season as voted on by the players.
After four years in retirement, Lindsay returned to the Red Wings for one final season in 1964-65, collecting 14 goals and 14 assists in 68 games – with 173 penalty minutes at age 37.
Lindsay entered broadcasting after hanging up his skates for good. He was the TV play by play announcer for the New York Rangers in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 1972, he joined NBC as the color analyst on national telecasts.
Lindsay returned to Detroit in 1977 as the general manager of the struggling club, which be promoted with TV ads touting "Aggressive hockey is back in town."
The Red Wings reached the playoffs during Lindsay's first season, losing to the Montreal Canadiens in the quarterfinals. He was named executive of the year.
He took over as the team's coach late in the 1979-80 season but was fired following a 3-14-3 start the following year.
Lindsay in January 2017 was named by the league as one of the 100 greatest NHL players of all-time.
The Red Wings retired Lindsay's No. 7 in 1991. It is one of eight numbers hanging from the rafters of Little Caesars Arena (Joe Louis Arena before that), joining Nos. 1 (Terry Sawchuk), 4 (Red Kelly), 5 (Nicklas Lidstrom), 9 (Howe), 10 (Alex Delvecchio), 12 (Abel) and 19 (Steve Yzerman).
The Ted Lindsay Foundation was created in 2001 to fund research into a cure for autism. It has raised more than $1.5 million for the cause.
Lindsay frequently visited Joe Louis Arena, even in his later years, working out in the Red Wings exercise room and meeting players.
Lindsay was preceded in death by his wife, Joanne, and is survived by his children Blake, Lynn and Meredith, his stepdaughter Leslie, as well as six grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

There are a few more things to wrap up before you embark onto Episode 4: Skyborne Paradise.
Use the Historia Crux at the Southern end of Sunleth Waterscape to travel to the Coliseum. Head to the center of the arena and speak with the Arbiter of Time. The massive entity may seem frightening, but he won't cause you any harm just yet. In fact, he'll give you a Fragment just to have you go away and stop bothering him.
Speak with the Arbiter of Time in the Coliseum ??? AF.
Walk around in the Coliseum and look out of map. You can see treasure, just throw Mog and take it!
Now that you've solved the Paradox in The Archylte Steppe, you'll be able to deal with your previous Flan problem. Head to the central area of the Waterscape to confront a much smaller and newly weakened Flan creature.
The biggest danger in this fight is the blob's ability to Poison your entire party with ease. This can be easily remedied by keeping a Medic in the party who has already learned Esuna.
With that countered, Mutantomato doesn't present too much of a threat. His Stagger meter fills quite quickly, so use this to your advantage and unleash an all our assault with a three RAV party before switching over to Commandos to deliver the final blow.
With the beast defeated, Snow's work in this time is done. After he disappears, head to the Time Gate at the center of the map and proceed onwards to The Void Beyond.
Use your short stint here to approach the stairs. Toss Mog to either side of the throne to uncover a pair of treasure chests that are just out of reach. They contain the Prediction Gate Seal and the Calm Gate Seal.
With these in hand, your work in Episode 3 is done. Head on to Academia and Episode 4.

South America cries out: Neoliberalism – never again!
Neoliberalism has wrecked the world. It is why the people of South America are taking to the streets and the ballot box to advocate for change.
By: Vijay Prashad
@vijayprashad
1 November 2019: A demonstrator dressed as the Joker waves a Mapuche flag during a protest against the government in Santiago, Chile. (Photograph by Reuters/Pablo Sanhueza)
The slogan is pithy – Neoliberalismo nunca más (Neoliberalism Never Again). It was chanted in the streets of Santiago, Chile; it was drawn on the walls in Buenos Aires, Argentina; and in a more sober register, it is mentioned in a seminar in Mexico City, Mexico.
Elections and protests rattle the continent. The protest by Chilean students against metro fees has now become a general protest against the government. In Colombia, the right wing suffered significant defeats in the local elections. Bogotá's mayor is now Claudia López, the first woman, the first gay woman, the first gay woman from the Green Party to win the post; the mayor of Bogotá is the second most important person after the country's president.
In the town of Turbaco, near Cartagena, a former guerrilla from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) – Guillermo Torres or "Julian Conrado" won the mayor's post. This is the first time that FARC – which had been in an armed struggle for over half a century – won such a significant election (they now joke in Venezuela that FARC has more mayors than Juan Guaidó – the man set up by Washington to overthrow Nicolás Maduro).
IMF election
In Argentina, the electorate tossed out the government of Mauricio Macri, who had taken his country to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), produced a harsh austerity budget and then disregarded the pain felt by his compatriots. If Haiti and Ecuador simmer with "IMF Riots", Argentina had an "IMF Election".
We will make a new Chile
The incoming government of Alberto Fernández and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner promises an exit from neoliberalism. Argentina's external debt is at about $285 billion, just under $6 500 per person. This foreign debt is almost 75% higher than when Macri took office in 2015.
In August, Fitch cut Argentina's rating to CCC, slipping closer and closer to the dreaded D rating. As an exporter of minimally processed food, Argentina is dependent on prices set elsewhere – a victim, as are many countries that export raw materials, of the financialisation of commodity prices. It has imported expensive debt and exported low-priced foods.
What is neoliberalism?
Forty years ago, the propertied classes revolted against any social democratic arrangement in their countries. As a result of fears over capitalist turbulence, Keynesians argued that the state must intervene to smooth over the instability of the business cycle. Pressure from the workers' movements and the Left forced governments to finance social security, education, healthcare and elder care. Funds for state intervention and for social spending came – largely – from progressive taxation. The rich no longer wanted to make these payments. One of the earliest countries to undergo a neoliberal transformation was Chile.
As the rich withdrew from taxation, governments – of a variety of political persuasions – struggled to fund their own borrowing and the social spending won by the workers. Multilateral organisations – such as the IMF – and ratings agencies punished countries that had high deficits; this is why many countries passed balanced budget amendments that prevented borrowing to pay for social spending. A combination of the tax strike by the rich and the balanced budget amendment squeezed government spending.
To raise funds, governments did at least five things:
Privatised public assets. Governments sold off public assets that had been built by the sacrifices of previous generations – assets such as public banks, public utilities and public lands.
Commodified areas of social life. Governments allowed private firms to charge money for the delivery of goods that had previously been seen as social and whose delivery was not for a fee – such as water and electricity.
Deregulated business enterprises. Regulations of business enterprises allowed governments to both protect the public from the excesses of profit-making – such as environmental pollution – and allow fees to be collected by the state.
Gave subsidies to big corporations. To attract big corporations to their jurisdictions, governments began to provide massive subsidies to them – subsidies that were often larger than the funds laid out toward social services. In the United States, this is called "corporate welfare" – more welfare for corporations than for the indigent.
Cut social spending. Austerity budgets became the norm, with states cutting social security, education, healthcare and elder care.
This remains the core of neoliberalism. It has wrecked the world. It is why they are saying "never again" to neoliberalism in the ballot box and on the streets of South America.
Exit from neoliberalism
The new government has pledged to abandon the road of austerity, to robustly fund the social commitments of the government and to adopt a national development strategy. How it will do so with the massive debt overhang and the expected pressure from the creditors and the multilateral organisations is to be seen.
In Argentina, debates around the exit from neoliberalism have been ongoing; the recently released book Salir del Neoliberalismo (Exit Neoliberalism) captures the thrust of these debates. In his essay in the book, Claudio Katz lays out four different scenarios for Argentina, which include a repetition of the story of Portugal and of Greece.
'If we don't fuck shit up, we don't exist to them'
Toward the end of his essay, Katz says that the cost of the crisis should not be borne by the public but by the authors of the crisis – namely, the creditors. An audit of the enormous $57 billion IMF loan to Argentina is necessary; so too is a suspension of payment to service that debt. Drawing from Katz, one can go further:
All subsidies to corporations should be suspended.
There should be an audit of each of these subsidies.
An audit should be immediately ordered of the taxation department.
Letters of intent should be sent off to tax havens that hold the money of Argentinian nationals.
Such means – fairly straightforward – should be part of a national debate about tax revenues and subsidies to corporations. If subsidies are suspended and if taxes are collected, there should be enough money to finance not only food sovereignty schemes that tackle endemic hunger, but also cooperative production for food and goods.
We are in a period of transition. There is no doubt that the ruling classes have no idea how to solve the problems posed by capitalism – massive wealth, massive inequality, climate catastrophe and war. Neoliberalism, their policy framework of the past 40 years, is now in serious crisis. No full alternative is available. We have glimmers of the future; experiments need to be tried. Argentina's government will be under pressure to test an exit to neoliberalism. There will be excluded workers and feminists in the streets making sure that it does not betray their hopes.

Online photo processing has exploded in popularity in recent years. It's easy to see why. You can get cheap digital prints along with good quality and convenience. If you haven't used one of these services you might want to consider it.
There are several companies online that offer digital photo development. Some of the more popular ones are Kodak Gallery, Shutterfly, and Snapfish. They vary slightly in price and services offered beyond printing photos.
They are very user-friendly. Plus you can't beat the convenience of having your photos mailed right to your house.
Online photo processing is quite inexpensive. For instance we use Snapfish and a 4x6 print is only 9¢ per print. If you use the option of prepaying for blocks of prints you can even get the price down to 8¢ per print.
5x7 prints start at 79¢ each and get cheaper the more you order. Down to 59¢ each for 50 or more prints with other price breaks between.
Or you can pre-pay for blocks of 5x7 prints of 50 at 49¢ each, 100 at 39¢ each, or 250 and get 5x7 prints for as cheap as 29¢ each. 8x10 prints are $2.99 each.
Shipping is fast. We always receive our order within a week. There's another option if you want your prints really fast. Snapfish has teamed up with some brick and mortar businesses. So you choose the prints you want to have printed from the Snapfish website and then there's an option to have them printed at a local Walgreens or Walmart. Often they're available for pickup the same day.
I strongly urge you to print your photos once you've edited them with Photoshop Elements. You spent the time to get them looking spectacular, it would be a shame if they just sat on your computer's hard drive.

Someone, clear my mind :D

A: You're probably using char* as datatype for text.
Note that char is signed, so if you (think you) have a value of e.g. 200 there, it's really -72, and so if you cast that to int, you get -72 :)

Fernandina & Isabela Islands
Flightless cormorant and marine iguana resting after feeding at Fernandina Island.
Around six in the morning, we were navigating Simon Bolivar canal in between the western most islands Isabela and Fernandina, with many of our guests on the sun deck, whale-watching and enjoying the nice volcanic scenery formed by shield-shaped volcanoes of these young islands.
The Island of Fernandina is one of the last two pristine islands in the Galapagos, and at the same time, one of the three islands with many species of animals. Some of them are unique to the archipelago, such us marine iguanas, Galapagos sea lions, flightless cormorants, and Galapagos penguins among other ones.
At eight o'clock in the morning, we went ashore for a coastal walk on sandy and rocky terrain covered in marine iguanas basking in the sun before going out to sea to feed. Galapagos sea lions were resting on the beach, and other ones were having a little swim while waiting for their mothers to return from the open seas. Many red-colored crabs were seen feeding on algae from the rocks at low tide. It was a great experience to explore such a busy and exciting island.
Later on, our snorkelers had the unique opportunity to swim with Galapagos penguins, Pacific green sea turtles even few marine iguanas feeding under the water.
The ship was repositioned, while we enjoyed a delicious Mexican buffet, to the northwestern-most coast of the biggest island of Galapagos—Isabela. We headed out for Zodiac rides along the coast of Punta Vicente Roca. Noddy tern chicks were seen in their nests along the rocky coast, marine iguanas were bobbing their heads in tussles over territory, next to the Galapagos fur seals moving over the coast on the rocks.
At the end of the day, we had an equator-crossing celebration with some wine and snacks on the top deck at the sunset. What a perfect day in paradise!

As the author of 9 self-published books, including a few Amazon bestsellers, I think self-publishing is a fun and rewarding side hustle.
The lightbulb moment for me came early on. I'd published my first book (on how to hire and work with virtual assistants), and I expected to sell a few copies through my website, which I tracked with my Amazon affiliate link.
The surprising thing was almost none of the sales came through my site; instead they came organically through Amazon. Even though my first author royalty check was less than $50, I was excited. I'm a professional author! Someone (several people) bought my book!
Since then I've published more titles and learned more about the writing, editing, and marketing process. One of my book projects generated 20,000 free downloads in its first week and went on to earn passive royalties for over a year.
More recently, I launched a new book at $0.99 and it became a bestseller on its first day, and netted $2600 in its first month.
If you'd like to learn more about my book launch process, especially for non-fiction authors without a huge platform, check this link for a special offer on my Udemy course that walks you through the whole process start-to-finish.
224: $5k a Month as a Self-Published Author – in Fiction!
Derek Murphy is a world traveler, book cover design extraordinaire, and the author of a dozen different books, mainly in the young adult fantasy genre.
A lot of the content and interviews on the Side Hustle Show has been related to non-fiction books, usually solving a specific problem or containing useful and practical ideas. Fiction is a bit of a different animal, and something Derek covers in detail over on his site at CreativIndie.com.
Here's Everything I Did To Launch a Bestselling Book (and How Much It's Made So Far)
Last month I launched my latest book project, Buy Buttons, out into the world. On Day 1, it became an Amazon bestseller and has gone on to collect 75+ 5-star reviews and sell more than 2600 copies.
My process was much more involved this time around than it was two years ago for the launch of Work Smarter. A lot has changed during that time so I was excited to put some new ideas to the test.
In this post, I'll break down the entire writing and launch process, step-by-step, start to finish.
195: How Book Marketing Really Works: Tips from a 6-Figure Self-Published Author
Last month I compiled a killer round-up post with book launch and marketing tips from 25 authors, entrepreneurs, and leaders in the self-publishing space.
When I sent my weekly newsletter out about it, one subscriber replied and said something to the effect of, "That's cute, but let me show you how it really works."
As you might have guessed, that subscriber was this week's guest, Adam Houge.
191: Reverse-Engineering a Bestselling Book Launch
November 5, 2021 September 1, 2016
Tom Morkes has worked on the book launches for a number of previous Side Hustle Show guests, including John Lee Dumas, Dan Norris, Taylor Pearson, and Neil Patel.
What I wanted to do in this conversation was reverse engineer some of the steps that go into producing, launching, and marketing a bestselling book, even you don't have thousands of fans waiting for it.
And selfishly, I wanted to get some insight on what I could do to make my latest book project, Buy Buttons, hit the top of the charts. Tune in to hear Tom's top tips from more than a dozen different bestselling launches.
Quora for Bloggers: How to Accelerate Your Authority, Audience Growth, and Traffic
On December 7th, 2015, I started posting answers on Quora.com every day.
By the beginning of March — less than 3 months later — my answers had been viewed more than 500,000 times. This has more than doubled traffic to my blog, 10x'd my email sign-ups, and resulted in an increase in book sales.
This post explores my tactics for using Quora to re-purpose old content, accelerate your authority, and rapidly build an audience.
153: Zero to $20k a Month in a Year: 5 Ways to Completely Dominate Your Niche, with Jon Haws
We've heard of niche sites seeing success with AdSense or Amazon Associates income, or even with selling private advertising, but Jon Haws took a completely different approach.
Since last November, Jon has masterfully experimented with 5 different avenues and built up a huge email list. All told, these different channels — that didn't even exist a year and a half ago — are earning more than $20,000 a month!
If you're looking at a niche or authority business and need some new ideas on how to serve your audience, this is a can't miss episode.
NoiseTrade Review: How I Got 455 New Email Subscribers in 5 Days
April 9, 2020 December 7, 2015
For authors looking to expand their reach — to grow their "platform," in marketing-speak — NoiseTrade is worth checking out.
NoiseTrade started as a site to connect musicians with fans. The premise is pretty simple: download our tracks for free in exchange for an email opt-in.
It's the same tried-and-true list growth tactic that's been going on on the interwebs for years.
145: Amazon Ranking Secrets for Books and Physical Products from SEO Pro Dave Chesson
We've covered Kindle publishing in a variety of ways on The Side Hustle Show in the past, and it's one of my favorite side hustles.
But one area of frustration, at least for me, is that for all the effort put into writing, editing, publishing, and launching the book, it's still tough to sustain sales for long periods of time.
My guest this week has a way to keep moving units month after month, and it works for both books AND physical products (for all you FBA sellers out there).
140: Self-Publishing Success: Stay at Home Mom Shares Her Kindle Story
The self-publishing world has changed quite a bit in the last couple years. Amazon is constantly changing the rules and rewards for authors, and more and more writers are entering the fold.
In today's show, I'm joined by Jyotsna Ramachandran, a "stay at home mom entrepreneur" and best-selling author. She shares candidly how she built her Kindle empire to more than 50 titles in less than 2 years, primarily with ghost-written content.
As the game has changed, she's shifted her focus to produce more quality products and less quantity.
121: An Engineer's Approach to Building a $1500 per Month Side Hustle
November 6, 2021 July 2, 2015
Tim Johnson is a man of many hustles. In fact, when he applied for my Inner Circle Mastermind last year, I had a hard time keeping them all straight.
Between his day job as a product engineer, his awesome self-publishing business, his Amazon FBA activities, and an upcoming brick-and-mortar project — and twin 2 year old boys — there's no doubt he's keeping busy!
On this call, we focus on his book business, which has earned a consistent $1000-1500 a month in author royalties.

Here be Porky Pig in Robinson Crouse Jr. … Stranded on an island after his ship was wrecked by a hurricane, Porky meets a friendly African Native. They build a house, and Porky begins to explore the island. On his way we see various sight gags.


0150hrs: I gave up on getting any sleep, Again! The moaning noisy howling winds being the cause of this last night, they are still blasting away at the apartments now.
How the poor tenants with decent hearing are managing to cope with this awful scary wet weather, I don't know. I bet I hear some tales at the Social Hour later. This along with the hassle of the radiator installation horrors and the mess cannot be doing us old fogies any good health or temperament-wise. I bet Jenny will have some words of wisdom for us at the Social. She can often use a couple of words that make such commonsense it stuns me, and makes me realise what a plonka really I am.
Now its started to rain with the gales. Tsk!
Off into the kitchen to put the kettle on and take the photo above. Then the call to the Porcelain Throne arrived. Oh, dear! Haemorrhoid Harold and Little inchy both bleeding somewhat profusely. At first, I was concerned at how long it took Little Inchy's lesion to stop bleeding, but when I remembered the INR Warfarin level being so high, all concerns evanesced. I started to read the last chapter of the Lenigrad book. I wish every warmonger and their families would peruse this, horrifying true tale of human endeavour.
Cleaned up and back to the kitchen. I made a brew in the last remaining China mug I have left. (After breaking the best one last night, Humph!) Took the medications and did the Health Checks. The readings seemed okay to me.
To the computer with my tasty drink of Extra-strong English Breakfast tea and studied the scribbled reminder notes I'd recorded during last nights farcical Accifauxpas and Whoopsiedangleplops. And updated Wednesday's diary.
This took me about two hours or so.
The winds not yielding at all. I'm getting fed-up of their noise after suffering them for over ten-hours now.
I closed the kitchen door. To keep the winds that are blowing in through the cracks in the wall, the air vents and the cracked window frame, from making the rest of the flat so cold. Still, we have all been instructed to keep that door closed as part of the fire regulation instructions. I kept it blocked open though, naughty me. I feared I would not be able to hear or smell anything burning on the stove from the other room with the door closed. That is my only claim in my defence, your Honour. Hehe! Shutting it did lessen the noise slightly, though.
Got the post finished and posted off. Started on this one up to here… and realised that the wind was no longer howling? Just blowing strongly.
I checked the WordPress comments and replied.
I nipped (Well, hobbled) into the kitchen to make another brew, and the room was like a walk-in ice-box! The winds I'd thought had decreased had not. It's just that they were not getting through while the door was closed too. As I was making the tea, the winds whipping in from outside swung the kitchen door shut with an almighty bang!
0455hrs: Boy, am I going to be popular with the neighbours now!
Created the High Winds header for this post.
Then went on WordPress Reader. Next, I checked the Emails. None from the Prime Minister or Jeremy Corbyn, but Asda and Iceland sent me one. Hehe!
Went to make another brew, and the wind had definitely dropped now – but it was freezing in there. I turned up the radiator and put the oven on.
0635hrs: Back to the computer and perused the local news. Here are some of the headlines. Not very encouraging. Tsk!
I spent the next two-and-a-half hours getting graphics suitable to use in creating page-top headers. Worth the effort, but now I have to find time to get them done.
Took a photographicalisation from the main room window of the picturesque skyline.
Ablutions tended to, much less bleeding now.
Rubbish bags were taken to the chute, and off to the Winwood Tenants Social Hour Meeting.
Not so many made it today. I presume the poor things like most of us, got no sleep again with the howling winds.
Jenny was the Oberleutnantess for the meeting, very busy gal. The shed soon filled-up with more residents. It was another highly vocal session. Much laughter, singing and, as Jenny put in so well, much loud raucous noise. That the two new chap tenants were surprised at, I think. Hehe! I love to hear them laughing, shouting, insulting each other and singing. So full of life!
BJ was in much better health this week and chirpier. Helped me with the crosswords. Clever chap BJ is. I asked Jenny if she would keep my nibble-box there ready for next week and she kindly obliged. Then out to the bus stop and a chinwag with some smoker tenants out waiting for the bus.
The winds had dropped altogether by the time I arrived in Arnold and exited the bus into Sainsbury's. Where I took a leisurely limp around, ending up buying: Apache Potatoes, Jersey milk, Marmite Cheese portions, Surimi sticks, Marmite Crisps, Melton pork pie, Anchor butter, flatbread and nibbles.
Out of the tore and had a hobble to the Asda store on Front Street, and got some potato chips and Curly Cheese nibbles.
I got the shakes at the check-out, which was a bit embarrassing. But I managed with the one steady hand. By now, I had two bags full of fodder to carry, but this helped keep the left-hand still. By the time I'd got to the bus stop, all was well again with the shakes.
Had a friendly natter with a chap while waiting. Who lives on the 6th floor, never met the bloke before, but he's been living in Woodthorpe Court for six years he said. His brother lives on the 14th floor. I knew him, he was the man who was a sniper in Korea.
When we dropped off on Chestnut Walk, a crowd of other tenants go on the bus. and this time, I got a response or two, to my cheery "Hello, hello, are you all alright today!" Like from Roy: "What's it got to do with you?", and Lillie: "Gerrout of the way!" Hehehe!
Having gone two nights of sleeplessness, I felt well drained when I got back in the flat. I had some of the Apache potatoes, curly fries, potato chips, Marmite and Stilton cheese, pork pie, beetroot, tomatoes and sliced apple, followed by a lemon mousse.
Rate this plateful as a 9.1/10.
I felt beyond doing anything but try to get some sleep. To ensure this, I put the TV on, this usually does the trick, and it did. When the first set of commercials that came on, off I went. But not for long. Anne Gyna started giving me some uncomfortableness and the stabbing pains that woke me up. After this, it took me a long time to get off again, as the brain started its wanderings and diagnosing everything, questioning things, analysing, jumping from one topic to another.
Back in the recliner, I managed to nod-off and woke up minutes later with a warm wet sensation from the lower regions. Off to the throne room, Little Inchy had and was, bleeding again. Luckily I had on the protection pants; this saved an awful lot of time cleaning up afterwards and avoided my having to throw away another pair of my knickers. Hahaha! Cleaned-up the room and me, packed the pants sealed them in a plastic bag, and used a separate disposal bag for them. Stopped the bleeding eventually. I will be so glad when I get the new cream from the clinic. This Daktacort is not so useful at all when the lesion bleeds heavily. Messy job.
Now there was no chance of any sleep. Laying there fretting, and feeling sorry for myself was no good. So I got up.

CYBERPUNK AND THE HARDBOILED DETECTIVE
One of my favorite things about studying genres of fiction is finding ways to mix elements of them together in new and interesting ways. Sometimes, this adventure also leads me to understand a genre more based on its roots with older styles of fiction.


It is the question nobody ever asks. As soon as contraction happens, the whole thing switches. Central bankers turn their attention, and move the public's, toward fighting the thing, making sure it is as shallow and short as may be necessary. Officials pay total focus to getting out of it without ever having to answer for how they got into it.
There are two parts to every recession, it does have an end but also a beginning.
On November 15, 2012, the European Union declared the impossible. The entire continental economy had sunk back into recession, the unusual double dip.
Sure, everything went wrong in 2008 but having "saved" the world from something far worse Economists at central banks had learned a lot. So they said. Why it required a crisis for them to learn anything is an offshoot of the same question no one will ask.
The message was emphasized and repeated – we won't let it happen again. And then it did happen again, almost without pause.
European officials once recession was declared acted swiftly. Not in solving the mess, rather the only thing central banks may be good for is theatrics. Once the recession declaration became that formality late in 2012, the wheels spun fast. Who should they blame?
The Greeks. Just as 2008 was easily "explained" as something about irresponsible lending and borrowing in the US housing market, 2012 could be laid at the feet of Greece, Portugal, Spain, and Italy. It was PIIGS, they said, an externality against which monetary officials were near powerless to prevent the severe consequences.
I hope the time is near when we can reach the solution that is needed. Of course we did not talk about debt haircuts, you know our view and that has not changed, nor should it.
We are now getting into a double dip recession which is entirely self-made. It is a result of excessive austerity in southern countries and unwillingness in the north to do anything else.
Mario Draghi gave a speech on November 15, of course he did, in which he literally said the PIIGS directly thwarted his genius policies. The title he gave his sermon was, I kid you not, Financial markets and the disruption caused to the transmission of monetary policy.
In response, the ECB lowered its benchmark interest rates. Under normal circumstances, such reductions would have been transmitted in a relatively uniform way to households and firms across the euro area. But that's not what we found.
I know Dr. Draghi, it's never your fault.
Industrial Production, an important measure of economic health, had been contracting across Europe since the December before, 2011, around the time banks were rumored to be on the brink again. By November 2012, IP had fallen at a 4% annual rate. It was the worst month for European industry during the whole double dip, a contraction in the goods economy that would last for a total of 21 months.
As of this morning, Eurostat reports that once again IP is falling. In December 2018, it had contracted by an estimated 3.6%, after falling 3.3% in November, or about as bad as what was the worst of Europe's last declared, acknowledged recession. Unlike 2012, officials like Mario Draghi, somehow still the head of the ECB, are still talking about a hypothetical boom rather than this very different economic reality.
As I wrote yesterday, when you screw up a few years here or there you can be realistic about things (even as you CYA). If you mess up a decade or two, there will only be fairy tales.
The growing contraction, already one year in length, has been downplayed at every juncture. First, it was emissions. Then it was drought. Just Germany. All temporary.
But the downturn keeps getting bigger and broader, the rate of decline increasing while more and more national economies are sucked into it. In December, German IP was rather steady; it was Italy and Spain, among others, who plunged.
If this latest contraction is ever declared, which is somewhat of a longshot nowadays, we will be invited to put these two events into separate categories. November 2012 was, after all, six years ago. Had there been an actual recovery in between, that would be the right thing to do. No two recessions are the same.
Without any recovery at all, though, we are forced to consider not recessions plural, but a singular instance of something else. A triple dip in Europe lasting eleven years in total all due to a constant, common factor. Single contraction of varying intensity.
Maybe it never was really about PIIGS. Yes, sovereign debt was a problem and the timing of its reckoning, which turned out to be mild, all things considered, was unfortunate. That's not what congested Draghi's monetary channels. Another way of saying clogged monetary transmission is, the policies didn't work.
Claiming that they were interrupted by some gigantic externality is admitting the same thing only without accepting blame for the lack of success. Europe's economy fell sharply in 2008 and 2009, didn't really recover in 2010 and 2011, was back in recession in 2012 and 2013, and then spent the next few years with mildly positive growth (only mildly affected by Euro$ #3 which focused as much on China and Asia).
What's to blame for 2018?
That question needs to be answered honestly before getting to the next one: how bad might 2019 be? Europe's economy is already in big trouble, by extension the global economy clearly unhealthy. It was never about PIIGS and subprime mortgages. Europe's economic problems in 2012, as 2008 or 2018, weren't even European.

Kungliga Hovkapellet (, "The Royal Court Orchestra") is a Swedish orchestra, originally part of the Royal Court in Sweden's capital Stockholm. Its existence was first recorded in 1526. Since 1773 it is part of the Royal Swedish Opera's company.

Kungliga Hovkapellet is one of the oldest active orchestras in the world. It was first recorded in the royal account books from 1526. The orchestra originally consisted of both musicians and singers. It had only male members until 1727, when Sophia Schröder and Judith Fischer were employed as vocalists; in the 1850s, the harpist Marie Pauline Åhman became the first female instrumentalist. It had a golden age under the leadership of several members of the Düben family during the 17th century. In the 18th century, its directors included Johan Helmich Roman and Francesco Uttini. From 1731, public concerts were performed at Riddarhuset in Stockholm. Since 1773, when the Royal Swedish Opera was founded by Gustav III of Sweden, the Kungliga Hovkapellet has been part of the opera's company.

A lot can be packed into forty-four years. F. Scott Fitzgerald proved it. In more than one or two ways his life paralleled those of one of his characters, James Gatz or Jay Gatsby. Both suffered from the ill effects of wealth and a decadent lifestyle, their own ego and overt self-confidence, and alcoholism.
Take away the drinking and I too, have a little in common with Fitzgerald, but to a greater degree with his Gatsby character. Money things corrupted me as it did him. Growing up poor I too wrongly thought material wealth was the key to happiness. I have loved women who were not good for me just as Gatsby's "Daisy" was for him. Just as she did to him, more than once my heart was given wholly and completely to one who professed love for me, only to be ultimately left behind.
Having never read "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald nor having seen the movie version made in my time I did not know what to expect when I headed out to take in the movie yesterday. It was a film I was determined to see on the big screen but almost missed out. My last chance was at a nearby "cheapie movie" theater. It is the writer's use of language and ability to pant vivid images in my mind I will long remember. Here are a few quotes particularly memorable to me.
If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promise of life… it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again.
His dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him.
It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four of five times in life. It faced – or seemed to face – the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on YOU with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just so far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey.
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born in 1896 and died of a heart attack in 1940. He is generally thought of as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th Century and specifically remembered for his vivid descriptions of the "Jazz Age", a name he coined. "Gatsby" has been frequently referred to as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream. In spite of how Fitzgerald is viewed today, he died believing himself to be a failure and his work forgotten.
Seeing "The Great Gatsby" yesterday opened my awareness up to F. Scott Fitzgerald and his work. Now I have several novels to read and three old movies to see; one from 1949, another from 1974 and a TV movie from 2000. There was a silent version from 1926 made in Fitzgerald's time I would dearly enjoy seeing but sadly it is a famous example of a lost film. A trailer is all that is known to exist.
For a man who loves skillfully written books, good stories and well done movies, I am delighted to have something new come on to my path. I am grateful to have discovered Fitzgerald and Gatsby.
paid a high price for living too long with a single dream.

Few writers have been as attuned to the concerns and emotions of childhood as Margaret Wise Brown (1910–1952). A graduate of Hollins College and the progressive Bank Street College of Education, she combined her literary aspirations with the study of child development. Her unique ability to see the world through a child's eyes is unequaled. Her many classic books continue to delight millions of young listeners and readers year after year.
