Ward, Francis J. & Francis P.
Francis J. Ward
Francis J. Ward (1922- ) & Francis P. Ward (1951- ) are an American father and son team who have taken up the idea of Ireland being Plato's Atlantis(a). They quote from Ulf Erlingsson, Cedric R. Leonard and the eccentric Conor MacDari in support of their view, which is that "Atlantis was a global, maritime empire based in Ireland". They also modestly claim that "Among other ancient mysteries, we have solved the hidden message of the Great Pyramid(b), and the riddles of King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable, the Fisher King, Pahana—the Lost White Brother, the Kalki incarnation of Vishnu, and the fulfillments of the Star, Branch, and World Ruler Prophecies."
Their first book, The Truth Against the World-Red Phoenix Rising & the Return of the Thunder Gods[1156], but their supporting website(c) is currently offline, which may not be a bad thing!

Fletcher, Ron (m)
A Ron Fletcher, according to Rodney Castleden[225.189], saw the Roman Orpheus Mosaic in Woodchester(a), Gloucestershire and concluded that it depicted a map of Atlantis. Not content with that, he also claimed it as a star map as well as King Arthur's Round Table, ignoring the fact that King Arthur is reputed to have lived long after the Romans left Britain. It is silly statements such as Fletcher's that discredits serious Atlantis researchers. I have no other information regarding Fletcher,*[ apart from the fact that he appears to have self-published his ideas in a short book[1138].

Coghlan, Ronan
Ronan Coghlan (1948- ) was born in Dublin and now lives in Bangor, Northern Ireland. He has been a teacher at a number of schools and has published books on a variety of subjects ranging from Fairies to King Arthur to Atlantis. His best-selling Illustrated Encyclopedia of Arthurian Legends[0793] is reported to have sold 120,000 copies!
Coghlan has also produced a Companion to Atlantis and Other Mystery Lands, which is an A-Z guide to Plato's island as well as the more contentious Mu and Lemuria. My principal objection to this work is the inclusion of too many references to the ramblings of so many self-proclaimed psychics, obvious psychotics and downright fraudsters. It would be nitpicking to go any further but on the positive side I found this book more informative than the A-Z Guide published by Simon Cox[0251] and without the ancient America bias of Frank Joseph's offering[0104]. .

Harrison, Hank
Hank Harrison (1941- ) is an American writer and publisher and sometimes better known as the father of the singer, Courtney Love and father-in-law of the late Kurt Cobain. Among a range of subjects he has expressed great interest in Megalithic Europe in two of his books, The Stones of Ancient Ireland(a) and Finding Atlantis. In the latter, he supports the idea of a megalithic Atlantis with its centre of power probably located in the Morbihan area of Brittany.
Another recent book by Harrison is Arthur the God(b).

Sweeney, Emmet John (L)
Emmet John Sweeney is a Scottish historian, who graduated from the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland. He has followed the lead of Immanuel Velikovsky and produced a number of books[520][845] arguing for a radical revision of the generally accepted chronologies of the early civilisations of the Eastern Mediterranean.
He controversially claims that "all the civilisations on both sides of the Atlantic arose more or less simultaneously, sometime between 1100 and 1200 BC" [700.202]. He further claims that Atlantis was destroyed around 800 BC! This date is significant as it coincides with an event that led to devastation in Southern Germany and the Alps involving huge inundations and tilting of lake shorelines which could only be brought about by a very powerful seismic upheaval(b).
He has also tackled the Arthurian legend, regarding which he considers Stonehenge to have been Arthur's 'round table'. The blurb for his 2001 book Arthur and Stonehenge[918] goes further stating that "As for Arthur himself, he was the primitive bear-god "Artos", the Celtic version of Hercules. Originally portrayed with a bear-skin over his head and shoulders and carrying a great oaken club, he became the prototype of the Greek Hercules when Hellenic traders, braving the wild waters of the Atlantic in search of tin, heard his story from the Britons."
Sweeney has now ventured beyond his comfort zone and devoted his talents to the Atlantis question. He argues for the existence of a large island in the Atlantic, whose remnants today are Azores. He sees this island as a stepping stone to the Americas, that is necessary to explain the evidence of transatlantic contacts in the very distant past. He also takes the opportunity to highlight weaknesses in radiocarbon dating (p218).
The Washington Times, which is owned by the 'Moonies', gave his book a favourable review(a)! The reviewer, Martin Sieff, a native of Belfast and Velikovskian catastrophist, is accused by Jason Colavito[915] of using his critique to promote Sweeney more as a catastrophist rather than as an atlantologist and does so without revealing Sieff's own catastrophist
A more critical review of his work can also be found elsewhere on the Internet(c).

Heracles (Herakles) was a Greek mythical hero(c), later known to the Romans as Hercules.He is one of a number of mythical heroes who were reportedly abandoned as babies(f). He has also been identified with biblical Samson(a), the Phoenician Melqart and the Mesopotamian Gilgamesh(b). Dos Santos has decided that Hercules was originally the Hindu hero Vishnu[320.129], quoting Megasthenes (350-290 BC), the Greek geographer, in support of his contention. Others have referred to Megasthenes identifying Hercules with Krishna(e)(g).
He is usually portrayed as brandishing a club and wearing a lion's head as a helmet, probably because he, like Samson, reputedly unarmed, overcame lions and since lions were not part of the fauna of ancient Greece it reasonable to assume that at least this part of the tale had an Asian or African origin, but the similarities don't end there(a).
Euhemerists has suggested that he was a real historical figure, possibly a former king of Argos.
A more controversial suggestion has been made by Emmet J. Sweeney, in his 2001 book, Arthur and Stonehenge[0918], in which the blurb for the book claims that "Arthur himself, he was the primitive bear-god "Artos", the Celtic version of Hercules. Originally portrayed with a bear-skin over his head and shoulders and carrying a great oaken club, he became the prototype of the Greek Hercules when Hellenic traders, braving the wild waters of the Atlantic in search of tin, heard his story from the Britons." However, Sweeney also identifies Moses "as an alter ego of Hercules." in his Atlantis: The Evidence of Science[700.198].
There appears to have been a cult of Heracles that may have extended as far as Britain, where the Cerne Abbas chalk figure is sometimes claimed to represent him(d).
The term 'Pillars of Heracles' was used by the ancient Greeks to define the outer reaches of their limited seagoing range. This changed over time as their nautical capabilities improved. Some of the earlier 'Pillars' were located at the entrance to the Black Sea and the Strait of Sicily and the Strait of Messina. Later the term was applied exclusively to the Strait of Gibraltar.

Avalon (m)
Avalon is the legendary resting place of Britain's King Arthur. Tradition has it that it was also famous for its apples and this feature led some to link it with the legend of the Hesperides considered another name for Atlantis. This linkage of Avalon with Atlantis is extremely tenuous. The apple connection is also suggested by the Welsh for Avalon which is Ynys Afallon, posibly derived from afal, the Welsh for apple.
Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historiae (xxxvii.35) named Helgoland as 'insulam Abalum', which has been suggested as a variant of Avalon. Other locations such as Sicily and Avallon in Burgundy have been also been proposed. A series of YouTube clips(a) bravely links Avalon, Mt.Meru and Atlantis, which is supposedly situated in the Arctic!

Lyonesse is a mythical land between Cornwall and the Scilly Isles that reputedly sank into the sea. Ancient maps indicate that most of the Scillies were united in Roman times(a) noted by Peter Stanier in his book[0997] about the region. Legend has it that it contained 140 temples. Mordred, is said to have fought his final battle with King Arthur at Lyonesse. This ancient tale has been regularly linked with the destruction of Atlantis.
There is a parallel Breton legend of Kêr-Is (Ker-Ys in French).
A group of rocks called the "Seven Sisters" lies six miles (10 km) off Land's End, the southernmost tip of Britain. According to legend, these rocks mark the site of a kingdom that once linked Britain to France. The site description fits in with the Cornish myth of the kingdom of Lyonesse – also known as the City of Lions. In the 5th century A.D., Lyonesse was inundated and disappeared beneath the sea. The legend has it that there was only one survivor. Since then, local fishers have caught pieces of buildings and other remains in their nets. They claim that these come from Lyonesse.
Henry Beckles Willson in a 1902 booklet[1427] claimed that land now lost, once extended from Land's End to the Scilly Isles. Contrast that with a speculative map in Lucile Taylor Hansen's book The Ancient Atlantic[572], which shows Lyonesse as a large landmass west of the Scillies. She also informed us that the island of Tresco, which today is roughly 2 miles long and a mile across at its widest, had a circumference of ten miles in 1538.
A team of Russian scientists were hoping to answer the two and a half thousand-year-old mystery regarding Plato's Atlantis, with an investigation of the underwater 'Celtic Shelf' beyond the Scilly Isles. Viatcheslav Koudriavtsev, of the Moscow Institute of Meta-history, has used a re-interpretation of the classical Greek texts to locate the possible position of the fabled ancient lands. It is claimed that in the 1990's the British authorities were set to issue a six-week licence for the exploration of Little Sole Bank, a conical submerged hill lying only 50m below the surface approximately 100 miles south-west of the mainland, but apparently due to a lack of funding nothing has been heard of the project since.
In 2012 the 'micronation' selfstyled as the Principality of Lyonesse declared its 'independence'(b)(c).

Ashe, Geoffrey
Geoffrey Ashe (1923- ) is a recognised authority on the Arthurian Legend and has written extensively on the subject. He is the author or co-author of a number of books, including The Quest for Arthur's Britain, Camelot and the Vision of Albion, The Discovery of King Arthur, and Mythology of the British Isles. He was co-founder and secretary of the Camelot Research Committee that excavated Cadbury Castle in Somerset. He was Associate Editor of The Arthurian Encyclopaedia and The New Arthurian Encyclopaedia; collaborated with Norris Lacy on The Arthurian Handbook, and has held visiting professorships at several American universities.
In the fifth century, the neo-Platonist Proclus, quoting a first-century BC geographer named Marcellus, spoke of three islands of 'immense extent' located in the Atlantic Ocean. The inhabitants of the central of these islands was said to have preserved the memory of a former landmass, identified by Proclus with Atlantis, which had existed thereabouts. In 1962, historian Ashe identified Marcellus' three great islands with the Greater Antilles of the Caribbean. Moreover, he pointed out that the indigenous peoples of the region preserved the memory of a cataclysm, which had split up a former landmass leaving behind the islands that make the archipelagos, we see today. All but a few human beings were drowned in this all-encompassing event.
Could this have been a memory of the destruction of Atlantis preserved in the Caribbean and brought across the Atlantic by ancient mariners such as the Phoenicians and Carthaginians? However, as Andrew Collins noted[072.109] Ashe was not the first to make this connection. In 1885, the American historian Hyde Clarke, in a paper delivered to the Royal Historical Society used the same indigenous legends to identify Hispaniola as the location of Atlantis.
In the late 1950's it was reported in Sykes's Atlantis journal that Ashe was planning to emulate St. Brendan's voyage across the Atlantic in a currach, a feat later achieved by Tim Severin. However, Ashe never made the trip but settled for writing a book on the subject, Land to the West[740].
Two books with an Atlantis theme have been published by Ashe, Atlantis: Lost Lands, Ancient Wisdom[082] & Atlantis: The Legend of Lost City[083] .

MATTAPOISETT — Summer resident John Berg will present a lecture on LED lights, holograms, metamaterials and printing electronics at the Mattapoisett Museum on Thursday April 11.

It appears we had two bad picture here, so we tried to get it right.
I am quite fond of modern classical music from the early 20th century, so I have been quite taken by Sylvia Kahan's weighty and scholarly biography of Winnaretta Singer, Princesse de Polignac, entitled Music's Modern Muse. This book trumps the rather salacious Food of Love by Michael de Cossart which emphasized Singer's love life while giving short-shrift to her considerable contributions to music in the early 20th century.
Winnaretta Singer may have been number 20 of the 24 children of sewing machine entrepreneur and bigamist Issac Merritt Singer, though Singer didn't keep really great records of all of his children, nor of his "wives" for that matter. At 22, Winnaretta was sent to Europe for "good marriage" making her part of group of mockingly dubbed "Dollar Princesses", rich Americans who married for titles.
Her next Prince, Edmond de Polignac, had no desire to touch Winnaretta and they lived happily ever after, untill his death in 1901.
Winnaretta Singer put her wealth to good use funding many modern composers and artists. Composers aided by Singer are a virtual Who's Who of modern music: Igor Stravinsky, Erik Satie, Darius Milhaud, Francis Poulenc, Kurt Weill, Germaine Tailleferre, Nadia Boulanger, and Ethel Smyth.
At her Salon in Paris she entertained not only composers, but writers and artists like Marcel Proust, Isadora Duncan, Jean Cocteau, Claude Monet, Serge Diaghilev and Colette.
Music's Modern Muse weighs in at over 500 pages full of musical nuance. It is the relationship with the music that is the key to this biography. My only regret is that there is no accompanying CD tucked in the back of the book!
a wonderful post. Just lovely.
Has anyone written to you about the fact that these posted pictures are NOT of the Winnaretta Singer you write about?
I believe they are of a niece, but I cannot exactly remember. Sylvia Kahan could easily identify them for you.
Thanks, Linda. We updated the post with the correct pictures.


Three friends and I went to my High School graduation Celebration Dance in San Salvador, Capital city of El Salvador (Central America) we arrived to the place at about 8pm. We spent about 3 hours there and suddenly we decided to go to a beach in a place called Conchalio in the state of La libertad, about 45 minutes of San Salvador. Since one of my friends got his fathers car (a Chevrolet 1956) we arrived to the beach place at about 11:45pm. Checked in the Hotel and went to a place to get some food and drinks (I do not drink nor smoke) but two of may friends were drinking part of the night. We were talking to each other under an almond tree in front of the beach, when suddenly an object shapped like a disk with some dome form and lights all over came down and suddenly hovering for about 50 seconds. It was projecting a very intense light over the water (we were approximately about 400 feet of distance to the object). We though it was a giant pole of a ship, but when it started spinning with many colorful lights on it and the big light started a twist on the water, all of us knew it was a UFO because it suddenly disapeared into the water and it did not appeared again. We did not see any splash at all because the water was moving around like creating a tunnel or hole in the water. After that moment we decided to go back to the hotel about one block from the place because we were scared about what happened. That morning I commented the incident to some people from the hotel and they told me that those things use to happen very often in that particular area and no one makes a big deal of that anyway. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

Q: How can I query a NCLOB column as a table in SAP HANA? I like to do a select query with a where condition on a column of type NCLOB let's call it information column. It has following format:
{
   "firstName" : "name1",
   "lastName" : "lastName1"
}
I want to do some thing like this

Select * from myTable where information.firsName = "targetName"

But I am not sure how to do it.
Any hints please?

A: Looks like you want a structured database instead of a JSON clob... :)
Why don't you have a look at the JSON functions in HANA?
With JSON_TABLE you can construct a table structure "over" the JSON-data in the clob-column and then query that table structure.

Google Health now viewable on iPhone
By Brian Dolan
An iPhone application developer has leveraged Google Health's API to create Health Cloud, an application for Apple's iPhone that gives users access to the information they have entered into their Google Health personal health record. Like the other Google Health readers for mobile phones that we have written about in the past, this one only allows users to access the information in a readable format; Health Cloud does not allow you to update your Google Health record.
Parsons is ambitious, however. He claims that in the application's next version, Health Cloud v1.1, users will be able to update their Google Health record from the iPhone. The app's second coming will also include capability to view notices from your provider, an improved visual interface for medications, immunizations and so forth.
Last month we wrote about Anvita Health's Mobile Viewer for Google Health, which is only available for Android-powered phones like T-Mobile USA's G1 handset. Anvita said the application will be available on other handsets, including the iPhone, in the future.
The only official mobile initiative spearheaded by Google Health itself has been an option for Google Health users to print out their personal health records and keep them in their pockets.

Home Top Stories Entertainment When Is Sweet Tooth Season 2 Coming Out?
When Is Sweet Tooth Season 2 Coming Out?
The Netflix first series dependent on the beloved DC comic Sweet Tooth has been occupying a spot within Netflix's Top Ten because it first came on June 4, 2021, also reveals minor signs of slowing down.
It leaves the expectation for Sweet Tooth season two among readers, particularly regarding if the following run will be available this season around the streaming service.
The fantasy drama has been a big hit with both house audiences and critics like Rolling Stone. The series has received an incredibly remarkable score on Rotten Tomatoes, together with the consensus on the favorite review site being very positive.
"Emotionally engaging, beautifully behaved, and incredibly entertaining, Sweet Tooth will meet fantasy fans of all ages"
The very first well-received season comprises eight enthralling entrances, with each one comprising 37-53 minutes. Subscribers have made it among the most well-known shows inside the streaming powerhouse's stacked lineup of articles.
There's no denying that the demand for Sweet Tooth season 2 is comparatively high with readers, and it's no surprise many are hoping the next outing will arrive in 2021. Keep reading to find out more.
What Is Sweet Tooth About?
Sweet Tooth is based on the printed DC Comics Vertigo imprint of the same name created by Jeff Lemire that many have described as Mad Max matches Bambi. The story takes place at a post-apocalyptic globe where hybrids, or half-human and half-animal beings, exist and are searched by dangerous people.
The cast of the Netflix original series is top-notch since James Brolin functions as the narrator of the series with Christian Convey playing Sweet Tooth's main character Gus and Game of Thrones actor Nonso Anozie portraying his unlikely companion Tommy Jeopardy. Will Forte also is in the series as Bubba, the father of Gus.
The fantastic news is that the show hasn't been canceled yet, but the less than ideal information is that it hasn't yet been renewed either, which is strange given how well it's done so much with subscribers. So at this moment, there is no official release date for Sweet Tooth season 2.
If the show gets renewed soon, it appears unlikely the show will return to Netflix before the season. One should anticipate a release date at a certain point in 2022, and the notion of a 2021 premiere does not seem that plausible at this point.

Okay, we hope you don't mind if we do a little bragging, but we have a pretty amazing rating on Google. Take a look right here, because as of this writing we have a perfect 5 out of 5 stars on Google reviews with 35 reviews (and a 4.9 out of 5 on Facebook with 64 votes). With reviews like that, it's obvious we're doing something right.
But you have to ask yourself, what exactly is that something? Sure, we talk about our philosophy all the time, but it's very possible you'll learn just as much by taking a look at some of the reviews we've received from our customers. Let's see what they're saying.
Thanks for writing in, Alex. Not everyone who comes to our martial arts classes, whether for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai training, is headed to competitions. Some will be here in order to make the most of their self-defense skills, while others are here purely for the exercise benefits (our hybrid fitness is a good option if that's what you're looking for.) Still others might not be interested in competing in BJJ or Thai kickboxing because they're simply gathering the necessary skills for mixed martial arts training.
But for those who are on track to become competitive, we agree with you that it's important to have coaches who compete. And when we say complete, we mean still compete. After all, sports are constantly changing, and the best coaches are those who are involved. Martial arts training is never over, because there's always something new to learn. We can teach our students the latest locks and escapes, let them know what's popular this year, and help them analyze their opponent so that they can make the most of the match.
Now you might think it strange that we'd bring up a review in which someone says they've left us, but we think that Casey's coming back to SubForce speak volumes. We completely understand when people want to check out the other martial arts schools around. In fact, it most often happens to people who start out at SubForce. They might be perfectly happy here, but they start thinking "this is just the first place I've tried, could it really be the best?" So they try some other martial arts classes elsewhere, and when those don't work they get disillusioned and quit. When they want to get back into martial arts, they come back to SubForce.
Other people might leave because they aren't sure what martial art is for them. They might want more violence than BJJ offers and go to a different school. But when they find out that the punching and kicking isn't quite their style, they come back.
No matter what, we're always glad to have former students back. We want them to be sure that they've found the place which is most encouraging for them, and that they have indeed found the martial art that is most fulfilling.
Finally, thanks for using the word camaraderie, Casey. That's exactly what we're going for. Sure, there's competition involved in our BJJ and Kickboxing classes, but it's always about making each other better. We want everyone to feel as comfortable as possible here at SubForce.
Okay, let's look at one more review.
It's true: if you hate rowing, you're not going to row. If you hate running, you're not going to keep running. So it's important to find an exercise routine that you don't even think about as being exercise. That's what we foster here at SubForce, and environment that provides activities which are so fun that you never even think about the ways in which you're improving your body.
All that to say, give it a try! We bet you'll love our martial arts classes if you try them. Check out our specials on our home page to see just how affordable a martial arts school can be.

Demagogia (del griego δῆμος -dēmos-, 'pueblo' y ἄγω -ago-, 'dirigir') es una estrategia utilizada para conseguir el poder político que consiste en apelar a prejuicios, emociones, miedos y esperanzas del público para ganar apoyo popular, frecuentemente mediante el uso de la retórica, la desinformación, la agnotología y la propaganda política.

Historia
En la historia de las doctrinas políticas se considera que fue Aristóteles quien individualizó y definió por primera vez la demagogia, definiéndola como la «forma corrupta o degenerada de la Democracia» que lleva a la institución de un gobierno tiránico de las clases inferiores o, más a menudo, de muchos o de unos que gobiernan en nombre del pueblo.

Aristóteles sostenía que cuando en los gobiernos populares la ley es subordinada al capricho de los muchos, definidos por él como los "pobres", surgen los demagogos que halagan a los ciudadanos, dan máxima importancia a sus sentimientos y orientan la acción política en función de los mismos. Aristóteles define por lo tanto, al demagogo como "adulador del pueblo".

La demagogia según Platón y Aristóteles, puede producir (como crisis extrema de la República), la instauración de un régimen autoritario oligárquico o tiránico, que más frecuentemente nace de la práctica demagógica que ha eliminado así a toda oposición. En estas condiciones, los demagogos, arrogándose el derecho de interpretar los intereses de las masas como intérpretes de toda la nación, confiscan todo el poder y la representación del pueblo e instauran una tiranía o dictadura personal. En sentido contrario y paradójicamente, muy habitualmente, las dictaduras se han instalado sosteniendo que lo hacían para terminar con la demagogia.

Aristóteles escribe que cuando un gobierno persigue el interés general de su población es virtuoso pero si persigue el de un solo individuo o unos cuantos se desvirtúa. Aristóteles define a la demagogia como la corrupción de la república. En este sentido una República debe velar por el interés de todos incluyendo pobres y ricos, por lo que la demagogia como el predominio del interés de los pobres con exclusión de los ricos constituye una aberración.

También se considera como demagogia a la oratoria que permite atraer hacia los intereses propios las decisiones de los demás utilizando falacias o argumentos aparentemente válidos que, sin embargo, tras un análisis de las circunstancias, pueden resultar inválidos o simplistas.

Características

La demagogia es frecuentemente asociada con el favorecimiento y la estimulación de las ambiciones y sentimientos de la población, tal como se presentan espontáneamente. Las promesas que suelen realizar los políticos durante las campañas electorales son habitualmente criticadas como demagógicas cuando aparecen como irrealizables. Las Democracias modernas han sido reiteradamente cuestionadas atribuyéndoles la condición de sistemas demagógicos debido a la utilización intensiva de técnicas publicitarias características del marketing, a la personalización de las candidaturas, la manipulación de los medios de comunicación de masas postergando el análisis político escrito, y el recurso sistemático a polarizaciones absolutas (bien-mal, desarrollo-atraso, honestidad-corrupción), o conceptos imprecisos ("la alegría", "la seguridad", "la justicia", "la paz"). (este término es muy interesante)

Es habitual que las dictaduras recurran a la consideración de las Repúblicas derrocadas como demagogias para justificar los golpes de estado y la imposición de sistemas no democráticos.

Quienes cometen actos de demagogia son denominados demagogos. Para ello suelen contar con equipos de profesionales que aprovechan particulares situaciones histórico-políticas excepcionales, dirigiéndolas para fines propios, para ganar el apoyo de la población, mediante mecanismos publicitarios, dramáticos y psicológicos.

La demagogia puede ser utilizada también para enfrentar poderes legítimamente constituidos, haciendo valer sus propias demandas inmediatas e incontroladas. En este caso el historiador griego  Polibio hablaba más propiamente de oclocracia (gobierno de la muchedumbre) como desvirtuación de la democracia (gobierno del pueblo). En este sentido, pensadores como Michael Hardt o Antonio Negri consideran que el gobierno del pueblo es el único sistema democrático real, y cuestionan como demagógicas a las Repúblicas occidentales modernas basadas en la utilización intensiva de los medios de comunicación de masas y la realización de elecciones fuertemente influidas por la demagogia, la falta de educación y la mercadotecnia.

El demagogo no necesariamente conduce a las masas a la revolución sino que las instrumentaliza para sus propios fines personales, para proceder, una vez obtenida una amplia aprobación, no ya a un proceso de democratización o de trasformación del sistema sociopolítico, sino a la instauración de un régimen autoritario, del que el demagogo sea el indiscutido y despótico jefe, o al acuerdo con las autoridades y las instituciones existentes con tal que éstas le reconozcan una función indiscutible. De esta manera los mecanismos represivos acentúan, en lugar de disminuir, las características autoritarias del gobierno y de la sociedad, e impiden la toma de conciencia por parte de las masas.
 Formas de demagogia
Falacias:
Argumentos que equivocan las relaciones lógicas entre elementos, o bien adoptan premisas evidentemente inaceptables. Para mayores detalles, ver falacia. Entre ellas se encuentran la falacia de causa falsa, la petición de principio, el argumento ad verecundiam, el argumento ad hominem, y la apelación a una autoridad irrelevante para el caso citado.
Manipulación del significado:
Las palabras, además de un sentido denotativo, tienen un sentido connotativo implícito, aportado por el contexto y conocimientos compartidos de los interlocutores, que añade ideas y opiniones, muchas veces de forma menos consciente que en su sentido denotativo. En la elección de las palabras, un discurso denotativamente neutro, puede connotar (ver connotación) significados adicionales, dependientes de su contexto y su relación con la opinión de la audiencia, o los oyentes del discurso (ver interpretación, pragmática, significado). De esta manera, los contenidos implicados son difíciles de refutar.
Omisiones:
Se presenta información incompleta, excluyendo posibles problemas, objeciones, dificultades, lo que resulta en la presentación de una realidad falseada, sin incurrir directamente en la mentira.
Redefinición del lenguaje:
Mediante la eliminación progresiva o eliminación de las palabras que menoscaban su posición, intentar modificar o hacer desaparecer la forma de pensar que se opone a sus argumentos. Numerosos ejemplos de esto pueden verse en la literatura (la novela 1984 de George Orwell; El Cuento de la Criada de Margaret Atwood), pero también en la realidad y particularmente en la política.
Tácticas de despiste:
Consiste en desviar la discusión desde un punto delicado para el demagogo hacia algún tema que domine o donde presente alguna ventaja con respecto a su oponente o contrincante. No se responde directamente a las preguntas ni a los desafíos.
Estadística fuera de contexto:
Consiste en utilizar datos numéricos para apoyar una hipótesis o afirmación, pero que estando fuera de contexto no reflejan la realidad. Aquí también se cuenta el uso tendencioso de estadísticas, también conocido como demagogia numérica.
Demonización:
Esta aproximación consiste en asociar una idea o grupo de personas con valores negativos, hasta que esa idea o grupo de personas sean vistos negativamente.
Falso dilema:
También conocida como falsa dicotomía'', hace referencia a una situación donde dos puntos de vista alternativos son presentados como las únicas opciones posibles. Como ejemplo tenemos el típico: "Estás conmigo o estás contra mí". Supone una definición simplista de la realidad y de esa forma se consigue evitar la toma en consideración de las demás posibilidades.

Dam protesters hold a ritual to safeguard the river.
The indigenous people of Chiapas continue to speak out against the construction of hydroelectric power generation plants on the Usumacinta River.
A Mexico-Guatemala bilateral project, the Boca del Cerro dam is the first of five that the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) plans to build on the river in the next four years.
The dam at Boca del Cerro will raise water levels by 55.5 meters and create a reservoir that extends over a 1,799-hectare area in the municipalities of Tenosique and Palenque on the Mexican side.
Social advocacy and indigenous groups met in San Cristóbal de las Casas on the weekend to form a common front against the project and denouncing what they claim are abuses by government authorities.
Citizens fear that the Tenosique town of San Carlos Boca del Cerro will "immediately disappear" after it is taken over by the offices and camp of the company in charge of building the dam.
In a communiqué issued after the meeting, the organizations stated that the Boca del Cerro dam was being imposed by the federal government "in clear violation of the second article of the constitution," which grants indigenous people autonomy and the right to be consulted before any major public works project takes places on their lands.
The more than 300 people at the meeting concluded that they will stop, by all available means, the construction of all five dams because of their effect on the customs and traditions of residents and the area's geography.
The imposition of dams and other large projects is seen as a reality throughout the country, according to the social organization Serapaz, or Services and Consultancy for Peace.
"Once these projects get the go-ahead, indigenous communities are displaced and their lands subjected to pressures that inevitably have negative consequences for the environment and strategic natural resources, like water," said Claudia Campero of the Mexican Alliance Against Fracking.
Serapaz and indigenous groups in Sonora have halted the first of six planned mining projects in the northern state.
"Energy reform makes these impositions easier for projects that involve power generation or extraction of hydrocarbons; they're trying to overhaul the legal system to favor these kinds of projects," said Campero.

HIGH cattle prices were primarily to blame for the disastrous financial losses recorded at the Australian Agricultural Co's Livingstone Beef processing plant near Darwin, chief executive Hugh Killen said yesterday.
As outlined in yesterday's story, AA Co plans to close its Darwin processing facility before September 30 after racking up eye-watering statutory net loss after tax of $102.6 million for its full financial year, including a one-off write-down of $74.9m for its Livingstone business.
The plant closure was designed to simplify the company's supply chain and allow it to focus more on its high quality beef brands, the market was told.
During a briefing yesterday after the full financials were released, Mr Killen was asked to outline the fundamental reasons for the plant's poor performance.
He said a number of plant input costs were challenging, making particular reference to cattle prices.
"One of the key input costs is cattle, and obviously we are operating in a challenging environment in the NT with live export," he said.
Mr Killen agreed with an ABC journalists' summary that inputs were just too dear to make a viable profit at the plant at present.
He stressed that demand was 'still there' for product (primarily, commodity type lean grinding beef) from the Livingstone plant, primarily directed into the US market.
Beef Central asked Mr Killen whether there were other factors involved in the loss results, and whether an alternate plant management approach could improve outcomes.
"We do, at times, face highly elevated slaughter cattle prices here in the NT, but the plant also operates in a challenging environment from the wet season perspective. So the input costs for the cattle can be higher than in the south, because cattle need to be staged through the wet season. It's not only the outright cost of the cattle, but the additional cost burden that goes on top, in terms of staging those cattle into the plant at certain times of year," he said.
Mr Killen confirmed that the plant was not being offered for sale.
Asked whether there had ever been occasions when AA Co's own northern cattle properties had been asked to supply the Livingstone plant with cattle at discounted prices, as a means of propping up the plant's operations, he said Livingstone's operating EBITDA this year, unfortunately, suggested that was not the case.
Asked how much of Livingstone's cattle price problems were due to the herd reduction that has occurred across large parts of Australia over the past three years, Mr Killen agreed it was an issue.
"Beef processing is a highly cyclical business to be in, and there has been a cow-herd rebuilding going on in the Northern Territory and western Queensland. That's had an impact, and the total number of cull cows available has been a wider challenge for us," he said.
Observers say the factors contributing to Livingstone's unfortunate predicament run a lot deeper than livestock procurement and labour costs, however. Some point to AA Co's multi-layered and generously-rewarded management profile, and what's seen as a poor operational set-up and strategy at the plant.
Some veteran processors were mystified as to why the project was not set up, from the outset, as a least-cost hot boning plant suited to efficient generation of frozen lean grinding beef. Currently it is configured for quality beef production, while producing a frozen commodity product, one contact said.
It's widely understood that Queensland processor Australian Country Choice has visited the Livingstone site in the past few months – apparently to offer guidance about plant set-up and operational strategies. There's been no suggestion at this stage that ACC has any direct interest in investment in, or management of the facility.
However he said the 'tough decisions' being made now would redirect AA Co back towards growth.
He said the announcements made yesterday recognised management's commitment to transparency, and also to making the tough decisions to protect value.
Asked whether there was any suggestion AA Co might be waiting for the live cattle export trade to end, in order to re-activate the Livingstone plant, Mr Killen told the briefing the company did not have a view about the livex trade stopping 'any time soon,' and was not making any decisions on the basis of livex in any way.
Industry observers have for some time noted the lack of any meat processing operational expertise at either board or senior management level within AA Co, despite the $100 million investment made in the Darwin processing venture, plus generous government financial support said to be worth tens of millions of dollars towards provision of infrastructure during establishment.
The AA Co board was 'crying out' for the addition of a non-competing hot-boning cow processing expert "like a Frank Herd, a Tony Munns, or a Peter Greenham Sr", to steer the ship in the Darwin project, Beef Central was told – particularly given that some of those names have close alliances with major domestic ground beef customers like the Hungry Jack's burger chain.
Others pointed to the earlier, questionable decision to hand over AA Co's domestic marketing responsibility to Australian Wholesale Meats – a move which one wholesale industry contact said took $2-$3/kg off the table in terms of margin for AA Co.
Buried in the 86-page financial report issued yesterday was Livingstone Beef's sales volume and value results for the year – 21,000t of product (down 17pc in volume on the year before) averaging just $4.39/kg (virtually unchanged from the year before). That average price includes not only trim, but sweet cuts directed into other markets, presumably at a higher price.
"85CL trim has traded either side of $5/kg for much of the year ended March, and as high as $5.50-$5.60 for periods. And that does not account for the fact that AA Co should be making much better money on the tenderloins and cube rolls it is selling separately; or the fact that much if its product out of Darwin should be higher than 85CL. It just doesn't add up," he said.
Editor's note: AA Co has since clarified the above figure, saying it includes not just beef sales, but other items like offals and by-products. AA Co agreed that its description in the annul results as 'beef', rather than the more appropriate term 'beef and beef products', left it exposed to misinterpretation.
Brisbane's Courier Mail this morning carried an item focusing on the boost to salaries of AA Co directors for the year ended March 30 announced yesterday, despite the $103 million loss for the year. Total remuneration for the ten board members rose from $1.55m to $1.9m, the Courier said.
Another five top executives fared even better, with the collective spend on their compensation packages more than doubling from $944,000 to $1.9 million.
Following the disclosures in yesterday's announcement, AA Co shares closed at $1.10 yesterday, down from a recent high of $2.07 in July 2016.
Tomorrow: Does the Livingstone closure spell the end for northern Australia's beef processing prospects? Perhaps not, it seems.
$3.8m for Board and Execs., and not one of them ever brand a calf. Ken Warriner built CPC on his own. Just two good bookkeepers based in Murwillumbar and Ken probably branded a few calves during his regular "water runs" my few AA shares are an interest, certainly not a money spinner!
Analysis of the figures for female sale and slaughter from the North done by Phil Holmes shows there were never the numbers of cull cows in the North available for such a large works.
The supply map that Livingstone was based on went down to Alice Srings and way into Qld and WA. Alice Springs people are very sophisticted with selling their cattle and many have property interstate where they send their cattle to finish before market.
There were also abbatoirs in Adelaide and Murray bridge until the latter burned down – to compete with at about the same distance for Alice producers. Many Alice producers sold into Qld live markets as well.
All this could have been easily confirmed by due diligence.
Producers will take the price from a range of works and markets, add in freight and costs to arrive back at an on property price – we cant afford to be charitable in this game, there is little enough margin as it is. So we will always sell to the highest bidder, all risks considered.
Which was why we shipped our cull cows to Victoria to slaughter. Even after freight and costs it was still more money back here at that time than had we sold to Livingstone.
At the end of the day, it is always about the numbers, supply, demand, cost of operation, markets.
I regret they couldnt make a go of it, and sad that sitting there it is a huge threat to anyone else wanting to start a smaller, modular works more suited to the real supply.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Vertical integration in our industry has its difficulties. There are success stories such as US Premium Beef where Mark Gardiner chairs a processing company killing his and their associates' animals at their abattoir or at those of National Beef. Mark is a leading supplier of Angus genetics worldwide from Gardiner Ranch in Ashland, Kansas. To supply cattle into their chain you need to be a unitholder in US Premium Beef. One unit gives you the right and obligation to deliver one animal each year into the supply chain.
However, the task facing AACo was far more difficult. With their extensive property portfolio they must operate as Australia's lowest cost producer of cattle for slaughter. From their figures over several years they do not. Hot boning demands the lines are full with a kill in the morning and a bone out in the afternoon. The profit line gradient in hot boning is steeper than for traditional abattoirs. So when the line is full you do well but if the supply is constrained then you will loose your shirt.
AACo base strategy was to fill unmet demand for cull cows and spent bulls. In the early days AMH cannibalised abattoirs at Tennant Creek, Mt Isa and Pentland to send livestock to the Queensland coast for slaughter. Some went as far as Dinmore outside Ipswich. Operating costs were prohibitive at remote locations. The lower marginal cost of slaughter at the larger coastal works made the decisions of closure one of the great benefits for the four shareholders then owning AMH.
Livingstone was always going to be tough and impairment charges will have written down the asset value from cost of construction. AMH sold the Mackay abattoir to Nippon Meat Packers (now NH Foods) and from my analysis it would seem that NH Foods operating assets make a good fit with AACo's cattle supply chain. Perhaps AACo management might now look to enter discussions with NH Foods to see what might come from a joint venture of their future undertakings. These plans were discussed with them in the past but rejected by an earlier CEO due to management's blind arrogance to build the Livingstone plant and a board without any beef processing experience.
It will make interesting reading as they try to recover value from Livingstone's misadventure. Property sales may be on the agenda to improve cash flows.
A perfect time for live export banners to put there money where their mouth is. ??
How can the board justify salary increases given the massive losses?
An informed and balanced article Jon, thank you. Very difficult to seperate the timber from the trees these days with keyboard exspurts abound. Cheers.
This debacle at least closes the debate on one issue. Live cattle exports from northern Australia can definitely not be replaced by boxed beef. Australia is high cost, unionized, overregulated and uncompetitive producer. We have been kicked off the shelves in Malaysia, Hong Kong and now Indonesia. At great expense to its long suffering shareholders the good old boys at The AA have proven this in spades. Livingstone is a canary in the coal mine to all beef processors in Australia. A while ago someone on this site described beef processing in Australia as a dieing sunset industry..
Board members have a primary responsibility to make decisions that are in the best interest of the company. Costs of operating Livingstone, both operational and cattle supply costs, existed when the board made the decision to proceed with the investment. Creating a spin blaming cattle prices and operating costs is simply passing the buck on a bad board decision. The board is ultimately responsible!
I very much appreciate the complement by Beef Central, obviously the Editor has been talking to industry leaders for there comments, but just letting the readers know that I wasn't one of them.
Thanks for your comment Frank, and nice to hear from you. Confirming that your name (and the two others) came up in discussions simply as examples of people with the sort of cow processing expertise the board needed. Editor.
I remember a conversation with Dean McKenna four years ago and he saying that the company needed at the operations or board level a mentor in the mould of Peter Greenham ,Frank Herd or Tony Munns. Dean, never a truer word spoken.
Pity the board had their head in the clouds, not on the kill floor.

Биография

Владимир Вячеславович Плечев родился 18 сентября 1949 года в г. Уфе Башкирской АССР, в семье врачей.

Его отец, Вячеслав Георгиевич Плечев (1923—1998), родился в Златоусте. Окончил Первое Чкаловское военное авиационное училище лётчиков им. К. Е. Ворошилова. В начале войны был направлен в десантную роту контрразведки Южного фронта. Неоднократно бывал за линией фронта, имел 3 пулевых и 21 осколочное ранение. Награждён орденами Отечественной войны I и II степеней, двумя орденами Красной Звезды. До 1951 года был на инвалидности, но сумел восстановить здоровье — прежде всего, за счёт занятий спортом. После войны стал мастером спорта по лёгкой атлетике, чемпионом Центрального Совета российского ДСО «Буревестник» по тройному прыжку. Окончил Башкирский медицинский институт в 1950 году. Затем, после снятия инвалидности, был вновь призван в армию — уже как офицер-хирург. Служил в Сталинграде, вернулся в Уфу в 1957 году. Подполковник медицинской службы. Возглавил многопрофильную 2-ю городскую больницу. Будучи главным врачом, впервые в БАССР открыл отделение детской хирургии, став — вместе с заведующей отделением, будущим профессором М. Г. Мавлютовой — организатором детской хирургии в республике. Отец привил Владимиру Вячеславовичу трудолюбие и любовь к спорту, сформировал его жизненные устои.

Учителя в науке. Их роль
Первым учителем в науке В. В. Плечев считает свою мать. Д. Н. Лазарева даже тезисы на студенческие научные конференции заставляла его переписывать по 8—10 раз. Вполне понятное недовольство молодого человека вскоре исчезло, поскольку Владимир сам чувствовал: с каждым разом получалось всё лучше и лучше. Затем Дина Наумовна стала давать сыну на проверку главы кандидатских и докторских диссертаций своих учениц и учеников. В. Плечев, который в это время был студентом 4-го — 6-го курса, вносил свои исправления карандашом, а мама-профессор хвалила и говорила: «Ну вот видишь! Потихонечку ты приближаешься к науке».

Огромную роль в становлении В. В. Плечева — и как хирурга, и как учёного — сыграл заведующий кафедрой госпитальной хирургии БГМИ (1966—1993), доктор медицинских наук, профессор Н. Г. Гатауллин, который был научным руководителем кандидатской и научным консультантом докторской диссертации Владимира Вячеславовича.

«Наиль Гайнатович был для учеников образцом стиля хирургической работы. Все видели, насколько филигранно он оперировал — прежде всего, бережно относясь к тканям. Гатауллин, в частной своей жизни — блестящий живописец-любитель классической школы, за операционным столом не допускал ни единого резкого движения; он работал исключительно аккуратно и надёжно. И, при работе на разных органах, — с большим знанием дела».

Профессор Н. Г. Гатауллин был универсальным, "поливалентным" хирургом с широким профессиональным кругозором и чувством перспективы в клинической практике и в науке. Вместе они создали несколько специализированных центров — Гатауллин начал, Плечев продолжил — в разных отраслях хирургии. Это закономерный результат той подготовки, которую В. В. Плечев получил под руководством своего учителя.

Высшую школу «поливалентной» хирургии В. В. Плечев прошёл и в клинике академика В. С. Савельева. Там человек, претендующий на звание профессора, должен был практически оперировать на всех органах, и для этого существовала планомерная ротация кадров.

«У Савельева я один из немногих, кто ему не менее десяти раз ассистировал при самых разных операциях. Он великолепно оперировал — на первый взгляд, вроде, не суетясь, но всегда быстрее других. Медленно, спокойно…Пусть даже какую-то операцию он 50 раз делал, 100 раз. То есть знание топографической анатомии безупречное, в любой области — а сегодня он оперировал желудок, завтра толстую кишку, послезавтра сердце. Но у него атлас всегда был на столе, и он ещё раз посмотрит. Второе, конечно, — быстрое и точное решение тактических вопросов во время операции: что конкретно этому больному поможет. Не так: давай-ка вот это сделаем! а ну-ка вот это попробуем! — такого у него не было. Он заранее всё это обсудит, план операции, со своими помощниками. И шёл на операцию, уже ясно понимая, что он этому больному будет делать конкретно, в зависимости от его сопутствующих заболеваний».

По всем специализациям В. В. Плечев и лекции слушал, и оперировал, и разнообразные новые методики потом привозил в Уфу, теснейшей связи с которой в годы московской специализации не терял.

Клиническая, организаторская, научная и педагогическая деятельность
В. В. Плечев — врач высшей квалификационной категории по хирургии и сердечно-сосудистой хирургии. На протяжении многих лет был куратором по хирургической работе ряда районов Башкортостана (Бураевского, Дюртюлинского, Илишевского, Кармаскалинского, Миякинского). По программе санавиации десятки раз вылетал к наиболее тяжёлым больным, оказывая экстренную хирургическую помощь на местах. Лично консультирует свыше 2000 больных в год.

Область научных интересов профессора В. В. Плечева: реконструктивная и пластической абдоминальная хирургия, хирургическая инфекция, сердечно-сосудистая хирургия. Он постоянно ведёт разработку необходимых для практической медицины новых методов диагностики, лечения и лекарственных препаратов.

В 1990-е годы совместно со специалистами ведущих клиник г. Москвы В. В. Плечев с сотрудниками разработали новый, имплантационный способ антибиотикотерапии в хирургии, создав оригинальный шовный материал «Абактолат» с пролонгированным антибактериальным действием. Его внедрение в клиническую практику позволило существенно снизить количество гнойно-септических послеоперационных осложнений в хирургических клиниках.

По инициативе и при непосредственном участии В. В. Плечева совместно с иммунологами БГМУ и АН РБ был создан и внедрён в хирургию принципиально новый иммуностимулятор «Иммурег», обладающий, помимо стимулирующего иммунитет, антиоксидантным и репаративным, а также кардио- и гепатопротекторным действием.

Основными направлениями научно-исследовательской работы возглавляемой профессором В. В. Плечевым кафедры являются: диагностика и лечение врождённых и приобретённых пороков сердца; профилактика и реабилитация больных спаечной болезнью брюшины и послеоперационными вентральными грыжами; разработка и внедрение аллопластических операций в торакальной и абдоминальной хирургии; хирургическое лечение декомпенсированных форм колостаза; проблемы ангиохирургии; эндоваскулярная хирургия. Под его руководством на кафедре создана научная школа хирургов, одна из наиболее авторитетных в Российской Федерации, направления работы которой: «Экспериментально-клиническое обоснование креативных направлений в хирургии», «Разработка и внедрение новых технологий в диагностике, лечении и реабилитации больных сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями, заболеваниями грудной и брюшной полостей».

Будучи проректором, обосновал в Правительстве Республики Башкортостан и Минздраве России целесообразность создания на базе ГКБ № 6 г. Уфы многопрофильной клиники БГМУ. В клинике госпитальной хирургии БГМУ, ставшей основной базой обучения студентов по одноимённому учебному курсу, разработаны новые медицинские технологии, внедрённые в хирургическую практику отделений республики и ряда крупных учреждений здравоохранения других регионов: способ профилактики спаечной болезни брюшины «фартучная защита»; эксплантат для пластики больших дефектов передней брюшной стенки; сосудистые протезы ПААГ (протез антибактериальный атромбогенный гомогенный); кишечный жом для атравматических резекций трубчатых органов; способ обработки текстильных материалов для кардиохирургии; способ прогнозирования послеоперационного пареза кишечника; способ лечения остеомиелита трубчатых и губчатых костей; способ фиксации ребер при множественных переломах; способ диагностики стенозов кишечной трубки; способ определения тонуса толстой кишки; способ трансплантационной паховой герниопластики; способ наложения илеостомы; способ интубации кишечника; способ профилактики послеоперационного пареза дозированной электростимуляцией кишечника и др.

В руководимой В. В. Плечевым клинике госпитальной хирургии функционируют специализированные центры по оказанию лечебно-диагностической помощи населению РБ и РФ: Республиканский центр сердечно-сосудистой хирургии, Российский Федеральный центр пластической абдоминальной хирургии, Башкирский республиканский центр по лечению и реабилитации больных спаечной болезнью брюшины, Центр эндоваскулярной хирургии, Центр эстетической флебологии, Городской специализированный центр торакальной травмы.

Работа возглавляемых профессором В. В. Плечевым клинических подразделений ведётся на уровне современных мировых медицинских технологий, с обеспечением и высокого качества, и достаточной массовости оказываемой населению медицинской помощи. Так, по данным НЦССХ им. А. Н. Бакулева, в 2014 году уфимский Республиканский кардиологический диспансер провёл: коронарное шунтирование — 1078 больным (9-е место среди всех клиник России), транслюминальную коронарную ангиопластику — 1498 больным (13-е место), коррекцию пороков клапанов сердца — 302 по протезированию и 124 по реконструкции (8-е), имплантацию электрокардиостимуляторов — 837 (9-е), операции с искусственным кровообращением — 1634 (8-е). При этом целый ряд наиболее технически сложных операций В. В. Плечев, впервые в Республике Башкортостан, выполнил лично. Среди них — аортокоронароное шунтирование, пластика сонных артерий, протезирование восходящего отдела аорты, артериовенозное переключение кровотока при гангрене нижней конечности и др.

За годы научно-педагогической деятельности профессором В. В. Плечевым подготовлены 22 доктора медицинских наук и 54 кандидата наук. В числе его учеников — доктора наук и профессора А. М. Авзалетдинов, Р. И. Ижбульдин, В. Ш. Ишметов, П. Г. Корнилаев, Р. З. Латыпов, В. А. Сурков, Р. Г. Фатихов, Р. Р. Шавалеев, В. М. Юнусов.

В. В. Плечев — член Президиумов Ассоциации ангиологов и сердечно-сосудистых хирургов Российской Федерации и Ассоциации хирургов Республики Башкортостан. Главный кардио-ангиохирург РБ.

IT DOESN'T require the sharpest powers of deduction to work out why Windsor's Theatre Royal is packed to the rafters this week.
IT DOESN'T require the sharpest powers of deduction to work out why Windsor's Theatre Royal is packed to the rafters this week.
The Agatha Christie Theatre Company is back in town with its latest production, Go Back for Murder.
And there is nothing the Windsor audiences like better than a good old-fashioned evening of mystery and murder from the pen of the 'Queen of Crime'.
The company's production of Murder On The Nile proved so popular at The Theatre Royal last January that it returned to the venue towards the end of 2012 due to public demand.
Go Back for Murder is a very different kettle of red herrings.
It is one of Christie's later works, first staged in 1960 and devoid of all the usual pre-war trappings,with the company choosing to set the action in Swinging Sixties London of 1968 and the world of bohemeian society in the 1940s.
Carla Le Marchant, neatly played by Sophie Ward, has come to Britain from Canada to unravel facts from 20 years before concerning the fatal poisoning of her father, a crime for which her mother was found guilty.
Director Joe Harmston, who has worked on all the company's productions since it was founded eight years ago, says the decision was taken to set the action at a time close to the original staging of the play rather than the modern day because the wealth of information technology now available would have meant 'a quick Google search and a few mobile phone calls would have both shortened and diminished the unfolding of the drama'.
So it is that Carla, nattily clad in a Carnaby Street minidress, convinces Justin Fogg, son of the barrister who defended her mother at the trial, to help her gather together all those present two decades before, to establish the truth behind the murder. The interchanges between the action of 1968 and 1948 are woven together wonderfully and sure enough, a series of contradictory testimonies, misheard comments and erroneous perceptions comes to light.
The cast are required to be 'time travellers', acting as their characters would have appeared 20 years earlier, a particularly demanding task for Lysette Anthony, a flighty 19-year-old model in the earlier setting, and Sammy Ward, who has to transform herself into a pig-tailed 14-year-old. Both manage the switch admirably, as does Miss Ward, who is required to swiftly abandon the miniskirt in exchange for the more conservative styles of the post-war years when she appears as her mother, Caroline.
Incidentally, Miss Anthony has the perfect background for the role of the young student who poses for artist Amyas Crale. Before becoming an actress she was a highly-successful model and was proclaimed as 'The Face of the 80s' by no less an expert than David Bailey.
Stage and TV stalwart Liza Goddard makes a perfect Miss Williams, the spinster governess whose observations prove pivotal to revealing the true killer, while there are excellent performances from Ben Nealon as Justin Fogg, Robert Duncan and Antony Edridge as brothers Philip and Meredith Blake, and Mark Lisseman as Turnball. Amyas Crale is portrayed perfectly by Gary Mavers, one of several members of the cast to have appeared in previous Agatha Christie Theatre Company adaptations.
This is arguably the company's finest production to date, refreshingly different and devoid of any tweed-clad old ladies, Belgian detectives or, come to that, any uniformed officers of the law. The more popular Christie plots are so often dominated by an abundance of selfish, dispassionate individuals who seem to be part of a game of Cluedo. This version of Go Back for Murder has a warmth and tenderness which is no more evident than in the final emotional and highly-poignant moments.
A tremendous start to the New Year.
Go Back for Murder is at The Theatre Royal, Windsor, until Saturday, January 19. Contact the box office on 01753 853888 or www.theatreroyalwindsor.co.uk .


Carleton's findings are particularly worrisome and come just two months after the Trump administration pulled out of the Paris climate accord, which was adopted by 196 countries, including the United States under the Obama administration in December 2015. As part of the agreement, world leaders committed to holding the average global temperature rise to "well below" two degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. After President Trump pulled out of the accord, many countries, including India and China, said they would continue to honor their commitments under the accord.
According to one estimate cited in Carleton's article, India could experience an average temperature rise of 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius). The study suggests that the implications for India's mostly rural population could be devastating. "My findings suggest that this warming will be accompanied by a rising number of lives lost to self-harm," she writes.

Three blind law school graduates, who were allowed to use screen-access software during law school, have been denied the right to use specialized computer-based aides on the Multistate Bar Examination portion of the Maryland bar exam. Earlier this year, UCLA School of Law graduate Stephanie Enyart fought the same battle and was awarded permission by a judge to use screen-reader computer software on the Multistate Bar Examination section of the California exam. Her case is on hold, however, as the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE), the agency responsible for administering the Multistate portion of the exam nationwide, filed an appeal that has suspended the court order.
I would imagine that any sort of denial on the part of the NCBE to provide these law grads with the appropriate software to complete things violates the Americans With Disabilities Act...how is it possible that they're able to deny them in the first place?
