Thank Goodness for 'Cop Killer' Weapons
By Bob Owens 2009-11-09T03:14:25
Authorities have identified the weapons U.S. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan used to carry out his murderous assault at Fort Hood as a FN Five-seveN pistol and an older model Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver. Initial accounts indicated that only the Five-seveN was used. Hasan fired an estimated 100+ times in the five-minute span from the start of the shooting spree until a civilian police officer at the base put him down with four shots from her own weapon.
Thirteen died and 30 were wounded Hasan's Nov. 5 attack. It was the worst attack ever on a stateside military base. Predictably, media in the United States and overseas have reacted with breathless horror at the news Hasan used a weapon they've deemed a "cop killer" and "an assault rifle that fits in your pocket." Few things could be further from the truth.
What's the truth? It may not come as a surprise that the media is wrong yet again, but the reason why may be surprising. Ironically, more of the wounded soldiers are possibly alive today because of Hasan's media-hyped choice of weapons.
The Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FN Herstal) Five-SeveN pistol chosen by Hasan for his assault was produced for the first time just over a decade ago as a companion to the FN P90, a unique personal defense weapon first produced in 1990 and chambering a new 5.7x28mm cartridge. The SS190 5.7x28mm cartridge shared by the P90 carbine and Five-seveN pistol was specifically designed to be more effective than the pistol caliber rounds used for most of the previous century by using a small-diameter, high-velocity, armor-piercing bullet that could penetrate the soft body armor increasingly being used by enemy soldiers, terrorists, and criminals.
The Five-SeveN pistol was released to the U.S. civilian market in 2004. Shortly thereafter, the Brady Campaign and a trio of anti-gun law enforcement organizations made the claim that the gun was a "cop killer." This claim was based upon a misrepresentation of marketing materials discussing the pistol's capabilities using SS190 armor-piercing ammunition and non-certified "tests" that were contradicted by more stringent and controlled testing done by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF).
Though the SS196SR and later SS197SR ammunition available to the public was verified by government testing of being unable to penetrate the soft body armor worn by police, the media seized upon the "cop killer" claim and used it with reckless abandon.
As a result of the inaccurate branding, the Five-seveN became attractive as a status symbol for some criminal elements of society. They became particularly popular among drug cartels in Mexico that had previously been partial to 1911-style pistols chambered in .38 Super, based upon similar claims regarding its ability to penetrate vehicles and crude "body armor." The Five-seveN is used by both government forces and the cartels in Mexico's ongoing drugs wars. The not uncommon practice of cartels obtaining some of their firearms and ammunition directly from corrupt officials means that in Mexico some Five-seveN pistols serving the cartels are loaded with armor-piercing ammunition issued by the government.
That brings us back to the shootings at Fort Hood.
ABC News and the Telegraph (and, yes, even Brady once again, recycling the term and misleading claims they did so much to create) are once again reveling in articles shouting about the evil power contained in Major Hasan's "cop killer" gun. But the simple fact of the matter is that there is good reason to believe that at least some of those wounded in Thursday's shooting are alive today because of the 5.7 cartridge's dubious capabilities.
It may seem counterintuitive to many, but the high velocities that enable the Five-seveN's .22 bullet to drive through soft body armor are thought to be mostly wasted on unarmored targets.
The 5.7 is a relatively new cartridge with limited distribution and so actual "real world" ballistic performance is anecdotal at best, but high-velocity pistol bullets like the .38 Super noted earlier and the 7.62x25 Tokarev have been around almost 80 years. Their established track record is that of bullets with excellent penetration characteristics but with questionable stopping power. The 5.7 round uses a far lighter bullet at higher velocities and the high velocity gives the bullet the distinct possibility of fragmenting. But even then, a high-velocity bullet that only weighs 40 grains (as does the legal SS197SR bullet Hasan used) is at a distinct disadvantage when compared to other pistol cartridges. Instead of dumping the bullet's energy into the body of the person shot, these high-velocity rounds typically stab a long narrow wound channel completely through a human-sized target, or they erupt into fragments that cause narrow wound channels.
Slower, heavier bullets such as those found in the .40 S&W and .45 ACP hollow point cartridges favored by American law enforcement dump most if not all of their energy in the human body. The difference between a wound from a 5.7 bullet and a .45 ACP is not dissimilar to the difference between the wound from an ice pick and the wound from a sledgehammer. The ice pick will penetrate far deeper, but the sledgehammer will cause far more traumatic injuries.
No rational person would ever wish for our soldiers to be attacked, but the simple fact of the matter is that Hasan's reliance on a gun the uneducated media told him was a powerful "cop killer" quite possibly saved lives at Fort Hood. If the same victims had been hit with 155-180 grain .40 S&W or 185-230 grain .45ACP hollow points, their wounds would likely have been far more severe than the wounds they suffered from even a fragmenting 40 grain VMAX bullet in the most commonly available 5.7 cartridge.
The American media has a long and ignoble history of firearms ignorance often based upon the propaganda of anti-gun organizations.
Finally, if but for once, that ignorance and fact-free hype may have served to actually save lives.

Robert Walser's scrupulous art of translation.
Today is International Translation Day, an occasion of particular piety among the few who observe it. Translation, that glorious service to culture and human understanding!
Some are cases of the capable but incompatible: not every good translator can translate every good book. They say poetry is what gets lost in et cetera, but humor might be even more often misplaced. Not getting the joke is a common form of not catching the music.
And sometimes, when a translator totally hijacks the original, the failure is so dramatic, its lapses from the source text so catastrophic, that it's hard to tell if it might not be a success after all. Is what we have here a terrible translation, or fake-terrible, or fake-fake-terrible?
The rain falls softly on the city.
That pierces through my heart?
In this, my heartsick heart.
What! there was no treason?
This grief is for no reason.
My heart is filled with so much sorrow!
jene Dächer an der Seine.
nach der Sehnsucht ich mich sehne.
ähnlich wie einst Paul Verlaine.
ich auch sehr nach Paul Verlaine.
of the roofs along the Seine.
I long for longing in the rain.
much as once did Paul Verlaine.
to be interested in Paul Verlaine.
was our Papa Paul Verlaine.
on ink-covered paper once did run.
and put into German Paul Verlaine.
This poem was one of Walser's now-famous microscripts, written in incredibly tiny handwriting for his own amusement and potential later use, and laboriously deciphered only decades after his death. He never published it or showed it to anybody; it never went anywhere, in public or private. Taking his hostility toward Verlaine, Fankhauser, and the rest and turning it into a chuckle—into a virtuosic exercise in rhyme, too, quasi-signed with three-quarters of his name—seems to have been enough for our man Wals.
If a scrupulous translation falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it still bring the original across? Maybe so. The word somewhat loosely translated here as "scrupulous" is sorgsam, full of Sorge (worry, concern, solicitude): painstaking and attentive, careful, gentle. Translations are always sorgsam—acts of loving care, even if not exactly gentle; taking pains of some sort, however unhinged. The private, unpublishing scribbler, too, is offering himself to us (sich uns vorstellt) as a translator—or at least it's high time he did.

Blind James (white)
© Douglas Gordon
Douglas Gordon born 1966
Photograph, gelatin silver print on paper mounted onto board
Unconfirmed: 610 × 653 mm
Blind James (white) is a photograph of British-born Hollywood actor James Mason (1909-1984), from which Douglas Gordon has excised the eyes, thus creating a 'blind' portrait. The photograph is a black and white Hollywood publicity still of the actor, who starred in such films as Odd Man Out 1947, The Desert Fox 1951, A Star is Born 1954, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 1954 and North by Northwest 1959. It shows Mason's head and formally suited shoulders and chest in front of a blurred backdrop in which a large carved coat of arms may be distinguished. The actor's blank white almond-shaped eyes contrast oddly with his urbane smile, conferring an uncanny and even sinister effect.
Blind James (white) is one of an on-going series of unique works in which Gordon 'blinds' such famous Hollywood actors as Cary Grant (1904-86), Kim Novak (b.1933), Bette Davis (1908-89), Jean Harlow (1911-37), Jane Russell (b.1921), Marlon Brando (1924-2004) and Paul Newman (b.1925).Gordon uses black and white or colour headshots of film stars, mainly in films from the 1950s and 60s, that he sources from film poster and photograph stores and the internet. He cuts out the stars' eyes and mounts the image on white or black museum board or a mirror. Many stars feature more than once. To date the series comprises approximately two hundred works of the same size, framed in white, black or silver. One hundred of these (all those framed in black) are a complete set in the collection of the artist's son, James Gray Gaskell Gordon. The artist is currently working on a series of larger format images.
Based in Glasgow and New York, Gordon works in various media including text, photographs, video and various types of installation. He has become best known for works made using existing film footage – both documentary and fictional – altering its pace, context or scale. A particular fascination with film noir has been one of the hallmarks of his oeuvre. For his most famous work, 24 Hour Psycho 1993 (Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg), he projected the thriller Psycho (1960), directed by Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980), on two screens simultaneously at a speed so slow that all narrative continuity fell apart and the original sense of shock ceased to function. Similarly 10ms-1 1994 (T07276) and Déjà-Vu 2000 (T07782) use slowed-down film footage in multiple projections. Dualities such as darkness and light, positive and negative, and the tensions between good and evil feature prominently in Gordon's work. For his Turner Prize exhibition at Tate in 1996, the artist displayed Confessions of a Justified Sinner 1995 (Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, Paris), based on the horror story related by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), in which a good man struggles with his evil alter-ego. Gordon's video works A Divided Self I and II (1996), in which a hairy arm and a shaved arm grapple endlessly, are likewise concerned with a struggle between two opposing aspects of a single person.
Gordon has commented:
I try to take something familiar and look at it again, and again, and again, reexamining and re-presenting it ... looking at something familiar can act as a metaphor for all sorts of other things in your life. One way to look at something over and over again is to take it apart ... in an analytical, structural, quite academic fashion, or we can simply put one thing beside itself and see how they compare
(Quoted in Richards, p.223.)
In Blind James (white) Gordon uses a simple procedure – the excision of eyes – to re-present a familiar or iconic image – that of a film star. In this way he challenges the role of publicity photographs in presenting the famous film stars in a positive light. His excision emphasizes the mask-like nature of the stars' roles as actors and icons, suggesting an unknowable double or alter-ego, hidden behind the attractive patina of the photograph or portrait.

Blind James (white) is one of a group of 'blind' portraits Gordon has created by excising the eyes from publicity stills of Hollywood stars of the 1950s and 1960s. This image features actor James Mason. The simple gesture of removing the actor's eyes renders the image sinister and emphasises the mask-like nature of Mason's role as actor and icon. Gordon is fascinated by dualities and the tension between good and evil. The excision of eyes in this work may suggest an unknowable alter-ego hidden behind the polished veneer of the portrait.

Isaac Asimov, that genial genius who began his writing career making science intelligible to the lay reader, has now established himself as something of an expert in a wide variety of different fields. His ten histories, which cover the beginnings of Western Civilization, could qualify him as an amateur historian, surely, and the fact that these books have been warmly received by reviewers and readers alike does, without doubt, make him a major writer of history for young people.
Isaac Asimov brings to his histories the same qualities he brings to every subject that interests him: a contagious enthusiasm, a keen intelligence that clarifies and synthesizes without oversimplifying, a respect for his readers, and a sensitivity to the human values implicit in his subject. And above all he never loses his unfailing good-humor which lends perspective as well as insuring his readers an enjoyable reading experience.
THE SHAPING OF NORTH AMERICA gives good attention to Europe's age of exploration because of its later influence in the new world; then the author moves on to North America's colonization. He traces the European rivalries and jealousies that persisted in the New World and points up the painful patterns of Indian-Colonial relations brought on by the credibly arrogant assumption that the Indians had no rights at all to the land they lived on.
Dr. Asimov's talents have never been more evident as he ranges over the subject matter familiar to most American readers, but somehow having here a new excitement and freshness.
Asimov's final four books on history written for Houghton-Mifflin deal with American history (meaning, of course, with typical US prejudice "United States" history). The first of these has to do with the period through the mid-eighteenth century when the American continents are discovered and colonized by West Europeans. It's a good book, comparable to the earlier histories, and worth reading.
In particular, I find that this book helps fill a gap in my own education. The US history courses I took in school tended to follow the following outline for American history: First there were the Indians. Then Columbus landed, Jamestown was founded, the Pilgrim Fathers landed, and the American Revolution broke out. Everything that preceded 1770's was glossed over and covered as quickly as possible. Some of the dramatic stories of our early history are stories I never heard until I read this book, which tends to make me enjoy rereading it all the more.

Established in the wake of the 2014 Tour de France's successful Grand Départ in the region, the ASO-organised Tour de Yorkshire is now in its fourth year. With that comes an extra stage, making it a four-day race. Taking in the eastern Pennines, as well as the North York Moors, the Tour de Yorkshire is one for the puncheurs and baroudeurs. It's not all hills, though, with at least one opportunity for the sprinters along the way. Rather than a staging ground for new talent, the race has so far proven to be a battle of established riders. Looking at the roll of honour and seeing the names of Lars Petter Nordhaug, Thomas Voeckler and Serge Pauwels gives one a good idea of what to expect. The race kicks off in Beverley on Thursday, May 3, and finishes in Leeds on Sunday, May 6.
Magnus Cort Nielsen (Astana) won the second stage of the Tour de Yorkshire on Friday, prevailing on the hilltop finish in Ilkley. He beat Greg Van Avermaet (BMC) into second place with a well-timed sprint, while Eduard Prades (Euskadi-Murias) took third.
It was something of a sprint in slow-motion, with the contenders coming to the fore late in the climb. Serge Pauwels (Dimension Data) took up the reins in the final kilometre, before Van Avermaet flew past 300 metres from the line. But Cort Nielsen got his timing just a little better – enough to overhaul the Belgian and claim his second victory of the season.
Cort Nielsen is the new overall leader, four seconds ahead of Van Avermaet and six ahead of Prades.
After a shock breakaway victory in Thursday's opener, stage two looked to signal the beginning of the GC battle. Three categorised climbs lay in wait on the 149km route from Barnsley to Ilkley, with the hilltop finish on the Côte de Cow and Calf (1.8km at 8.2 per cent) set up to give the race a new overall leader.
Along the way came two intermediate sprints – at Swinton after 41.5km, and at Scholes after 104km. The first obstacle of a lumpy day was the Côte de Blacker Hill (1.6km at 5.8 per cent), coming after 29km. Then, at 18km from the line, the Côte de Old Pool Bank (1km at 10 per cent) served as a leg softener ahead of the finale.
Ian Stannard (Team Sky) and Ben Swift (Great Britain) were notable names in the early break of the day, but they were never allowed more than 20 seconds during their 40km sojourn, with the peloton wiser after the events of stage one.
Fourth overall in 2015, Stephane Rossetto (Cofidis) felt confident enough to launch a solo counter-attack soon after. He was later joined by Garikoitz Bravo (Euskadi-Murias), Tom Baylis (One Pro Cycling) and Tobyn Horton (Madison-Genesis) as the peloton slowed up, happy with the break's composition.
The quartet worked well together, their gap topping out at 2:30 before the peloton began to up the pace. A mistake from the lead organiser's car didn't help matters, taking the break off-route and costing them over 30 seconds.
Rossetto was the last man standing from the break, swallowed up on the Côte de Old Pool Bank 18km from the finish. The double-digit slopes slimmed the peloton down to around 60 riders, with Jacob Scott (One Pro Cycling) launching a late attack ahead of the final climb.
Scott was caught 2km from the line as the red tide of BMC and Cofidis led the way at the head of the peloton. After a brief intervention from One Pro Cycling on the lower slopes of the climb, Pauwels and then Van Avermaet took command. But it was Cort Nielsen who came to the fore at the right time, launching to victory 150 metres from the line.

Aston Villa have reached a deal to sign former Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho on loan from Barcelona until the end of the season, the Premier League club announced on Friday.
Sources have told ESPN that five Premier League teams have had talks with Coutinho's side, Villa and another English club showing the most serious interest.
– ESPN + Viewers Guide: LaLiga, Bundesliga, MLS, FA Cup, more
However, the presence of Steven Gerrard, Coutinho's former Liverpool team-mate, helped tip the scales in Villa's favor.
The Premier League club said in a statement: "Aston Villa and FC Barcelona have agreed that Philippe Coutinho will spend the rest of the season on loan at Villa Park.
"The deal, which is subject to the player passing a medical examination and receiving a work permit, also includes an option to purchase and Philippe will travel to Birmingham within the next 48 hours."
Gerrard, who left Rangers to replace Dean Smith as Villa Park coach late last year, was instrumental in convincing the Brazilian to move to the Midlands.
Coutinho, 29, was previously reluctant to leave Barca, but the desire to play football regularly during a World Cup year has led to a change of mind.
Barca made Coutinho their most expensive signing of all time when they paid Liverpool € 160million in 2018.
His first season at Camp Nou, alongside Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, ended in a national brace but he lost his way in his second term.
He spent the 2019-20 season on loan at German giants Bayern Munich, scoring twice as they beat Barca 8-2 on their way to Champions League victory, before returning to Spain for the next campaign. .
Ronald Koeman has said he will help Coutinho return to his best form but injury issues have kept the player under the Dutchman.
He missed the second half of last season with injuries and has only started once, a 1-0 loss to Real Betis, since the appointment of new manager Xavi Hernandez in November.
Coutinho tested positive for COVID-19 last week but is expected to be cleared to travel to England in the coming days and could enter Villa's Premier League game against Manchester United on January 15.

Ruth 31 Samuel 1
Ruth 4 New International Version - UK (NIVUK)
Boaz marries Ruth
4 Meanwhile Boaz went up to the town gate and sat down there just as the guardian-redeemer[a] he had mentioned came along. Boaz said, 'Come over here, my friend, and sit down.' So he went over and sat down.
2 Boaz took ten of the elders of the town and said, 'Sit here,' and they did so. 3 Then he said to the guardian-redeemer, 'Naomi, who has come back from Moab, is selling the piece of land that belonged to our relative Elimelek. 4 I thought I should bring the matter to your attention and suggest that you buy it in the presence of these seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, do so. But if you[b] will not, tell me, so I will know. For no one has the right to do it except you, and I am next in line.'
'I will redeem it,' he said.
5 Then Boaz said, 'On the day you buy the land from Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the[c] dead man's widow, in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property.'
6 At this, the guardian-redeemer said, 'Then I cannot redeem it because I might endanger my own estate. You redeem it yourself. I cannot do it.'
7 (Now in earlier times in Israel, for the redemption and transfer of property to become final, one party took off his sandal and gave it to the other. This was the method of legalising transactions in Israel.)
8 So the guardian-redeemer said to Boaz, 'Buy it yourself.' And he removed his sandal.
9 Then Boaz announced to the elders and all the people, 'Today you are witnesses that I have bought from Naomi all the property of Elimelek, Kilion and Mahlon. 10 I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, Mahlon's widow, as my wife, in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property, so that his name will not disappear from among his family or from his home town. Today you are witnesses!'
11 Then the elders and all the people at the gate said, 'We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the family of Israel. May you have standing in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem. 12 Through the offspring the Lord gives you by this young woman, may your family be like that of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah.'
Naomi gains a son
13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. When he made love to her, the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. 14 The women said to Naomi: 'Praise be to the Lord, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel! 15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.'
16 Then Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him. 17 The women living there said, 'Naomi has a son!' And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.
The genealogy of David
18 This, then, is the family line of Perez:
Perez was the father of Hezron,
19 Hezron the father of Ram,
Ram the father of Amminadab,
20 Amminadab the father of Nahshon,
Nahshon the father of Salmon,[d]
21 Salmon the father of Boaz,
Boaz the father of Obed,
22 Obed the father of Jesse,
and Jesse the father of David.

Has anyone done this yet? Went to do it today and got stuck with no Torx sockets. At this point I thought I would look up for instructions and the only thing I can find is this thread. So before I get back to it when I get my new sockets.
Is it really this complicated?
Are there any online instructions?
Hi, haven't done it myself, but you need to pul the hubs to get the discs off, Fiat dealers have a tool for this that reduces the risk of splitting the bearing, so I bought Pagid discs and pads and got the dealer to fit , cost £216 inc VAT for the labour.
Bump in case anyone can shed some light on doing this as a DIY job.
I have a hunch that you need to disconnect the drive shafts from the differential, which will allow you to post them through the hubs to a degree, which then may (just) allow access to the hidden bolts. Whether you need to drop the axle to achieve this, I don't know, but I woudl be surprised.
There's a video here online that shows removing the rear discs on an Abarth 500 - similar looking arrangement, except of course without a driveshaft. See from about 2mins 25secs in.
Dear God! It should not be that difficult to replace rear disks!
I think I may be dropping this up to my specialist for rear disks - will have a crack at the fronts myself I think.
The fronts are a doddle... and on the earlier (2005-12) model, so were the rears. Not sure why they have chosen to make it more difficult on the newer model.
"If I ever meet the person who designed that ......."
Can anybody advise on an appropriate form of words to complete the sentence?
Yes but it would be edited off the site. If it proves to cost as much as quoted on here I will take them and the selling dealer to court under the Sale Of Goods Act and sue for not fit for the purpose for which sold and I will be inviting the worlds motoring press to the hearing!
quick question - anyone know which direction to turn the brake retraction tool for the piston to give space for new pads? I think driver side is clockwise (UK Spec right hand car)?
On my (older) 100HP it's clockwise on both sides.
I am mid way through changing rear disk rotors and pads on 2014 panda 4x4 Cross.
I will post pictures tomorrow if it is not too wet.
Jack up car, remove road wheel.
Remove the slider pin bolts on caliper and lift it free.
Now because the caliper guide frame (8mm hex) bolts are obscured, we must renove the 4 star-head / torx bolts that hold the hub to the trailing arm.
I used a 14mm "wall drive" socket - it fits!
These are hard to reach so you need a long ratchet or breaker bar and short and long extensions - percevere!!
It is vital that the last one you undo is the lower rear as it is easiest to remove (i applied wd40 to all).
Once all of these awkward bolts are out, the hub will move freely.
There is a fair amount of wiggle room and wiggle you must.
Rotate the hub a bit until the first 8mm hex head is lined up with that odd cut-out in the back end of the training arm assembly. Stick hex wrench in and remove it. Now rotate hub and line up the other 8mm hex head with the cut-out and remove it. (I stuck a meaty screw driver into the guide frame to prevent it rotating and damaging cv boot as I undid the hex bolts.
Now the caliper guide frame is free.
Remove the pins from the disk (12mm ring spanner).
Tap the disk free from the hub.
Now build back up with new disk rotor, pads etc.
Take care to remove all rust scale under the spring clips and lubricate carefully with the correct lubricant to prevent pads sticking in the caliper as this will trash your disk again.
No need to remove driveshaft, hub bearing, or hub nut. Integrity of hub bearing is not affected.
Do the dealers know about this?

Here are some pictures that illustrate my successful attempt at changing of the rear disk rotors and pads on my 2014 4x4 Cross.
See the post above for relevance.
Pic 1 - i am pointing at the cut-out in the rear trailing arm.
Pic 3 - the star/torx head bolt.
Pic 4 - the 8mm hex bit in the 8mm hex bolt which secures the caliper guide frame to the hub.

Good to see that in fact the designers did think about this - why else would that 'odd cut out' be there? But, how easy was it to reach the four bolts holding the hub assembly? Could you do it off a jack or was the car on a lift?
Yes but due to forum rules I can't tell you!

Is it time to take your work on holiday? Could a place by the sea be just the place to right the professional balance, giving you a new perspective on the daily routine and a fresher focus? We spoke to three coastal workers to find out how it affects their working life…
The world of work has had many cycles of change, but in the last couple of years workers have experienced one of the most dramatic shifts, from working from home to hybrid working to work from anywhere.
It's time for an aworkening to these new possibilities. Taking your work away to the sea could be more than just a change of scene. We caught up with three professionals working on very different projects and businesses to find out what being close to the sea means for their working life.
Studio by the sea
Artist Kitty Hillier recently started working exclusively from her studio looking out to the Penryn River as it flows towards the sea. It's a tidal stretch with a shifting landscape, and bustling boat community right on the doorstep. Whether it's a fleeting encounter with a Redshank, to making a new home in a boat – "like a giant sculpture really" – being this close to the water has an important role to play in Kitty's work.
"During the day, a key part of my practice is walking. From here, I can get on to the coast path straight away. In the spring and summer, when I open up the main door of the studio, I can see all the way through, down the river," says Kitty.
"All year round, I feel very close to the tides, and the weather. If it's really windy, I'm tuned into that: what's happening around me, the sounds and direction of the wind. One of the boatyard community will let me know if we're expecting a really high tide, when the water can come in just past the studio door.
"I'm constantly collecting stuff, starting points or something that helps me resolve a painting. On the coast path between here and Flushing, it's often very quiet, and particularly at low tide you have these amazing encounters with wildlife; it massively informs what I'm making."
As well as the solitary time watching the coastal wildlife, or on focused work in the studio, there's the bustling boatyard and vibrant artist community round the corner.
"The boatyard here is wonderful, everybody is helping everybody else, whether it's helping you carry something or giving you some advice; it's a great community.
"Not far from me are Jubilee Wharf, Fish Factory and Grays Wharf studios and art galleries, where I have shown my work and I've done workshops. Since I started working here, I have collaborated a lot more and I regularly meet up with artists in these locations."

Seaside growing
Beside Little Petherick Creek and overlooking the Camel River as it flows into the coves and bays between Rock and Padstow, Ross Geach's workplace is Padstow Kitchen Garden at Trerethern Farm.

There must be something in the sea air by the creek, as well as supplying a selection of the best eateries in the area with a bevy of local, seasonal produce – from salad leaves to renowned sausages – the kitchen garden's honesty box farm shop made it into the Financial Times magazine How to Spend It's top 50 food stores in the world in 2021.
"The farm has been in my family since the 18th century," says Ross. "Initially I trained be a chef with Rick Stein, but I enjoyed being on the farm more than the kitchen; being outside, with lovely views, what's not to like. So I started growing here and its turned into quite a big kitchen garden; it's around 7 acres now."
The exposed coastal position of the farm dictates the pattern of work. It means "beautiful views, down to Rock in one direction and over to Bodmin Moor in the other", but often challenging weather conditions for growing. "Nature has a really good way of evening itself out. I've really noticed that over the ten years of working in the garden. If you have a really bad start you have a longer season. If you have a really good, early start to the season you'll probably have a shorter growing season."
The farm is workplace and space to get away from it all. "We do spend a lot of our time on the farm. My partner and kids, we'll go out into the farm to have tea on a bench; it's completely quiet, with no one else around."
When he's not soaking up the vista from the fields, Ross heads down to the quieter spots along this popular stretch of coast to find a "rock to sit down, with a beer, and make the most of watching the tide come in or go out" or will head out on the water in the family kayak.
The Padstow Kitchen Farm Shop is open 7 days a week from 08.30am to 2.30pm during the winter months, with extended hours in the spring and summer.
Free your workflow
No matter what you're working on, finding the space to think freely is essential. Novelist and non-fiction writer Wyl Menmuir's home office is a mile from the beaches of Cornwall's north coast. A world of constant change, the sea is a dependable source of creative inspiration, mental space, exercise, rest and much more.
"If I'm stuck with a plot, or I need to solve a creative problem, I won't find that at my desk."
"It's a rare day that I don't see the sea for one reason or another. It might be for inspiration. If I'm stuck with a plot, or I need to solve a creative problem, I won't find that at my desk," says Wyl. "I get myself out to the sea. It's something about being able to see the horizon; the whole environment of it helps me to get into this creative space."
On the other hand, when Wyl is taking a break from work, he goes for a coastal run, surf or swim to take him away from concerns he has or whatever is on his mind. It's a cure all, "I use it for pretty much everything," he adds.
He's spent the past few months finding out it's not just him, discovering "almost as many reasons to spend time by the sea, or in the sea, as people" for his first non-fiction book The Draw of the Sea. While scientific researchers have made recent discoveries about the mental health benefits of spending time near or in blue spaces, Wyl's study – out on Aurum Press in July – is concerned with the human stories of the myriad relationships we have with the sea.

Out swimming with cold water swimmers, he discovered more about the primal relationship we have with the water, "there is this sense that the cold is uncomfortable, but there is this physical draw, a dependency on that cold-water reset." It's also somewhere where we relinquish control: "The sea is always reminding you that you have no control – and that can be freeing."

Q: Set of points where an application has rank $m$ is a smooth manifold. Can someone help me with this problem?
I have a $C^1$ function $G\colon\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m$, where $k=n-m> 0$. If $M$ is the set of points $x\in G^{-1}(0)$ such that $(DG)_x$ has rank $m$, then $M$ is a smooth manifold of dimension $k$.
If someone could give me a starting kick it would be great!

Man jailed for paying for sexual services from 16-year-old girls in Milton Keynes and Buckingham
He has been jailed for four years
Craig Hughes was found guilty by a unanimous verdict following a six day trial.
A Buckinghamshire man has been jailed after paying for 'sexual services' from 16-year-old girls.
Craig Hughes was jailed for four years, at Aylesbury Crown Court on Friday, January 8, following an investigation by Thames Valley Police.
The 37 year-old was convicted of five counts of paying for the sexual services of a girl on November 24 last year.
A jury found Hughs, of Adams Close, Buckingham, guilty by a unanimous verdict following a six-day trial.
The charges relate to incidents that took place in Milton Keynes and Buckingham in February 2018.
Hughes paid for the services of two victims who were 16 years-old at the time.
Investigating officer, DC Vince Higgins of Milton Keynes police station, said: "I am satisfied that Craig Hughes has been sentenced following his conviction of sexual offences in November last year.
"He denied the counts against him but a jury found him guilty of five counts, and not guilty of a further two.
"He will now face a prison sentence whereby he can reflect on his actions, and the damage it will have caused to the victims.
"Thames Valley Police will always investigate reports of this nature extremely seriously, and target offenders with a view to bringing them to court."

This Futuristic VR Facemask Tracks Your Expressions
The low-cost device will be available for purchase in the US and Japan later this year.
Say hello to X Mask, a new device described by the manufacturer as a "mask type sensing gadget." Developed by Japanese startup Dolami, X Mask is capable of tracking your facial expressions in detail thanks to a series of incorporated sensors placed strategically across your face. These sensors are internal; they do not affect your facial skin.
According to Dolami, the device can transmit your expressions to a VR avatar with "over 95% accuracy." X Mask features a delay speed of 200 milliseconds and takes less than five seconds to pair with a VR headset. The device will cost $90 USD, making it an affordable as well as a convenient option for those looking to enhance their virtual interactions without breaking the bank.
"Your facial expressions are available in VR on your avatar," says the official website. "You can communicate your emotions, passions, and silent opinions to others just as you would in reality."
"[X Mask] can be used in any case where communication is needed in the VR world. Business meetings, business negotiations, presentations, enterprise events, talking with friends, communicating with loved ones who live far away, etc."
Last month the company announced that it had raised around 100 million yen ($730,000 USD) in funding to begin production of the device. According to an official press release, X Mask will be available for purchase in the US and Japan later this year.
It'll be interesting to see how consumers respond to such a unique approach to facial tracking. For more information visit xmaskproject.com.

Q: What are some of the better English reference grammars? What is your favorite English reference grammar, particularly in terms of accuracy and completeness? Please note: I am not asking for usage guides. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the best ones?

A: I find Carter and McCarthy's 2006 Cambridge Grammar of English very useful. The great advantage is that it is based on an analysis of real language (the Cambridge International Corpus), which means that its insights are evidence-based, not intuition. Any reference grammars which are not based on corpus evidence are not worth buying.

A: I used the book Understanding and Using English Grammar by Betty Schrampfer Azar when teaching English throughout the 1990s, mostly for its clear and simplified verb tense diagrams which explain when to use the present progressive, past perfect, present tense, etc.

A: Please don't mark this as the answer since it is horribly out of date, but just know that H.W. Fowler, The King's English (1908) is a joy to read for its humor, wit, accuracy, and prescriptive adamancy. It is very useful for going into depth of the English language but definitely not a good choice for your first grammar text. Anyone who loves the English language should have a copy of it in their bookcase. You can find it online but do get a paper copy of it, the older and mustier the better.

A: The book that taught me what little (and how little) I know about English grammar is Huddleston and Pullum's Cambridge Grammar of the English Language. You can read chapter 1 and chapter 2 (PDF) free online. Those are introductory chapters. For a taste of the meat of the book, see this answer regarding the word yesterday, which is basically just a roundup of what CGEL has to say about it.
If you like what you see there, I enthusiastically recommend buying CGEL. It's unbelievably thorough and accurate. The writing is uniformly clear and concise. Illustrative examples are everywhere. It has both a lexical index (for looking up the peculiar grammar of enough or yesterday) and a conceptual index (for looking up terms like gerund or subject-auxiliary inversion). It's engaging enough to browse as bedtime reading.
The main drawbacks are that it costs $178 and weighs about five pounds.


Thomas Ruggles Pynchon, Jr., an American novelist and MacArthur Fellow, is noted for his dense and complex novels. His work, fiction and nonfiction, encompass a vast array of subject matter, genres and themes, including but not limited to the fields of history, music, science, and mathematics. After publishing several short stories in the late 1950s and early 1960s, he began writing the novels for which he is best known: V. (1963), The Crying of Lot 49 (1966), Gravity's Rainbow (1973), and Mason & Dixon (1997).
This international event is taking place in Greece, on the edges of the Mediterranean, of the European Union and of Western History, where the organisers have an opportunity not only to discuss Pynchon's new novel - his eighth, titled Bleeding Edge – but also to "reconsider the outer limits and internal limitations of the whole field of Pynchon studies." Participants are from universities in the USA, UK, Canada, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, The Netherlands, UAE, and more. The event has been funded by Panteion University, the University of Antwerp, the University of Michigan and Pilotless Press.

The 65th Berlinale opened with a female-focused adventure story, directed by Spanish director Isabel Coixet. In Nadie Quiere la Noche (Nobody Wants the Night) Josephine Peary (Juliette Binoche), courageous wife of famous American arctic explorer Robert Peary, follows her husband on his path to the North Pole. The grand backdrop of dangerous polar exploration at the turn of the 20th century frames what is at heart a rather intimate story of discovery, love and survival between two very different women. In languid style, Coixet draws out the slow-burning friendship between these protagonists, bonded by their love for the same man–who, by the way, is never seen in the film but nevertheless plays a central role.
In the whole Competition section only three films out of 23 were directed by women. Italian Laura Bispuri's Vergine Giurata (Sworn Virgin), tells the story of a girl growing up in an archaic, mountainous environment in Albania, where old codes and traditional gender roles prevail. Poland's Malgorzata Szumowska who (jointly) won the Silver Bear for best director with her film Body, which is mainly about the loneliness of the heart and the conflict between reason and the belief in a supernatural universe.
In the Berlinale Special section, veteran German director Margarethe von Trotta presented Die Abhandene Welt (The Misplaced World). British director Sam Taylor-Johnson presented Fifty Shades of Grey, based on the best-selling novel about sadomasochistic desires. American director Ava DuVernay's Oscar-winning Selma also shown in the same section. But compared with other sections of the festival, women were rather under-represented in the Golden Bear competition itself.
Noticeable was the large share of female directors in the Panorama (14 out of 52) – several of them emerging among the better-received films in that section. Que Horas Ela Volta (The Second Mother) by Brazilian director Anna Muylaert won the Audience Award for best feature film, and is a subtle portrait of society as well as a study of burgeoning emancipation.
So what do all these films by female directors have in common? One answer might be that they do not fully appeal to the "market", because of their supposedly female-oriented topics. My personal favourite cinematic experience in the Panorama Section was the film by Swiss director Stina Werenfels entitled Dora oder Die sexuellen Neurosen unserer Eltern (Dora or The Sexual Neuroses of Our Parents). It is a rather strange story about an 18-year-old who is mentally disabled and discovers sex – her libido shocks her parents, who feel that Dora is allowing herself to be abused.
It is surprisingly difficult for the audience to take sides here: do parents have the right to decide for their children on sexual matters? To what extent can society make decisions for others? The film is not just about the mentally disabled. It is rather a discussion about who is deciding what for the so-called "benefit" of others and about reconsidering a topic like self-determination. Stina Werenfels' adaptation of Lukas Baerfuss' stage-play is a fearless and moving drama about letting go.
At the Q+A after a screening of her film Hedi Schneider steckt fest (Hedi Schneider is stuck), presented in the Forum section, director Sonja Heiss said "the market for what are often considered female topics is quite small and still a niche." She added that, that according to her experiences as a director, an "alpha-male style" is needed to succeed in the film business.
In Germany a group of female directors recently founded the ProQuote initiative, focussing on the perception that the film industry is mostly male-dominated. During this year's Berlinale they organized panel dicussions and happenings in a pavillon in front of the Hotel Ritz Carlton at Potsdamer Platz. Their motivation is to point out the imbalance in the numbers of successful female and male directors. Film-festivals, especially the Berlinale, are an important platform to showcase cinematic diversity, beyond the narrow confines of box-office considerations.

Tronic's Christian Smith Discusses Label's RESISTANCE IBIZA Takeover
Swedish native, Christian Smith has defined himself as one of the world's leading exports of techno. He created his label, Tronic in 1994 with the idea that all techno and house DJs can play and release on it. Tronic has since gained worldwide acclaim and is currently Beatport's No.2 top-selling label. Artists with releases on Tronic include ANNA, Carl Craig, UMEK, Victor Ruiz, Wehbba and many others. Smith has continued to release productions on the label and on other well-known labels including Drumcode, Bedrock, Plus8 Records, and Cocoon. Last year, he released his 11-track album entitled "Input-Output." Christian Smith and Tronic will host the Privilege Terrace this Tuesday; featuring UMEK, Dosem, Victor Ruiz, Noir and Gonçalo…
This coming Tuesday, Tronic will be hosting the Privilege Terrace at RESISTANCE IBIZA. What went into curating this lineup? How excited are you to be a part of this residency?
Resistance initially wanted to book just myself for a gig for them, but then the day after asked me if I would be interested in doing a Tronic Room and programming the entire line-up. I am very excited about partnering up with them, because they have an amazing production and a great team! I have also been doing lots of Tronic branded events around the world, so timing seems to be perfect.
You recently released a collaboration with Harry Romero, "Neon Jungle." What process went into this production?
Harry Romero is a NYC house legend. I come from a more techno background, but I always appreciated and loved house music. I also like to challenge myself and try to do different things in the studio. So when I was recently in New York for a gig and had a few spare days we decided to work on a few tracks together. It was really inspiring to work with Harry because he is a master in the studio, and we had a great chemistry personally as well as musically. The single is a big bomb and I can't wait to play it in Ibiza this coming Tuesday!
Tell us more about how you began your career as a DJ. What led to creating Tronic Recordings?
Like with most people my DJ'ing started as hobby. I was 14 years old when I got my first decks. From that point I became a battle DJ entering DMC championships etc. Then I got into house music in the last 80's. But it was not until while I was getting my masters degree at Stockholm School of Economics that my international career took off. I produced a few records that DJ's such as Carl Cox and Jeff Mills were hammering. I suddenly got requests to DJ all around the world and the rest is history! As for Tronic, the label has always been a labor of love thing for me. I am really happy that it has grown so much and is now one of the biggest techno labels in the world. I feel truly grateful to be doing what I love for a living.
Last year, you revealed your third studio album "Input-Output." What goes into this creative process? How did you decide what sounds fit the canvas?
I love the challenge of producing albums. It's one thing to make a single, it's a whole other ballgame to produce a cohesive album with 10-14 tracks that all somehow fit together yet have different styles. It's an opportunity to think outside the box and make music that I would usually not release on singles. I really feel that I need these projects to evolve as a producer.
What are some musical influences that you incorporate throughout your productions?
Lots of early 80's music ranging from late disco like label Prelude, Italo Disco, to early electro like Newcleus or Egyptian Lover. Of course Kraftwerk has also influenced me immensely. But I also have to say that funk, soul, and Chicago house has a played a big part in what influences me when I make music today.
Why do you think Ibiza means so much to dance music?
Because It's a place with a really special feeling. It's hard to describe, but whenever I arrive on the Island it has a feeling of freedom and openness. It also happens to have some of the best clubs in the world. That certainly doesn't hurt 😉
Don't miss Christian Smith and the Tronic label in action this coming Tuesday at the PRIVILEGE Terrace at RESISTANCE IBIZA.


A new update was made available by Microsoft for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system that is designed to advance the backward compatibility capability of the two platforms.
The backward compatibility feature of Windows 7 allows running of older application that doesn't play nice with the new operating system. Although not a one-hundred percent fool proof solution, the backward compatibility feature has worked for me on a number of occasions in the past.
The DLL does not specify an RT_MANIFEST resource.
The DLL calls an API that uses the dynamic compatibility context. For example, the DLL calls the GetOverlappedResults API.
The backward compatibility feature in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2 detects the manifest in a DLL and sets the dynamic context of a DLL to Windows 7 or to Windows Vista. This enables Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 to provide a Windows Vista context for applications that are designed for earlier versions of Windows.
However, if a DLL is not manifested correctly, the DLL may run in a Windows 7 context unexpectedly. This issue occurs because the Windows 7 compatibility mechanism incorrectly assumes that a DLL is compatible with Windows 7 if the DLL does not specify an RT_MANIFEST resource. This issue occurs especially if all the other DLLs in an application are not manifested or if the other DLLs are manifested with Windows 7 compatible GUIDs. This causes the "faulty" DLL to run in Windows 7 compatible mode. This behavior causes the application that loads the DLL to stop responding. Therefore, customers cannot run an application in Windows 7 context if the application loads at least one DLL in those two conditions.

Iran Navy chief: Ties with Oman 'most stable' despite enemies' ill-wish
The Iranian Navy chief has praised the country's stable relations with Oman, saying all attempts by enemies to harm friendly ties between the two Persian Gulf neighbors have been to no avail.
Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani made the remarks in a Tuesday meeting with Brigadier Abdulaziz Abdullah al- Mantheri, assistant to Oman's Chief of Staff for Operations and Planning, who is in Tehran at the head of a delegation to hold talks with the country's high-ranking military officials.
He added that the status of Iran and Oman was clear on the world stage given the two countries' dominance over the Strait of Hormuz, adding that peace-seeking and friendship are among the main commonalities between the two countries.
Tehran and Muscat enjoy growing relations in different sectors, particularly in military fields, which has brought about lasting ties between the two sides, Irani said.
"Despite all attempts on the part of enemies and ill-wishers of the region to weaken the relationship between Iran and Oman, ties between the two nations are the most stable," he said.
The Navy chief expressed Iran's readiness to host Oman's naval fleets for a visit to Iranian ports as a means to further promote relations.
The commander said security and peace were the main demands of regional nations, adding, "The demand of the region's armed forces is the same as that of the people, and efforts in this direction will definitely lead to economic and commercial growth and prosperity of countries and all regional nations."
Mantheri, for his part, said Iran and Oman had deep-rooted commonalities in various fields, including religion, culture and geography and called for the further promotion of bilateral cooperation.
Oman insists, more than ever, on continuing cooperation with Iran on providing maritime security and countering maritime terrorism in the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz in order to prevent acts of mischief by the ill-wishers and enemies of the region, he said.

FEATURING ADAM LAMBERT
"CAN'T GO HOME" VIDEO AVAILABLE NOW
SINGLE OUT NOW ON ULTRA MUSIC
Electronic music producer and DJ STEVE AOKI takes a different turn for the video for his latest single "Can't Go Home" (Ultra Music)–co-produced by Felix Jaehn and featuring pop sensation Adam Lambert. Making its debut today via Idolator, "Can't Go Home" is a welcome addition to Aoki's vast music video arsenal. .
View the video for "Can't Go Home" now here.
This tongue-in-cheek music video, directed by Romain Dubois and Ménad Kesraoui, follows Paul the chimpanzee who was the star of a great 90's sitcom, but the success he knew back then had completely vanished, and the downfall of his career has turned him into a depressed hot mess. He now lives at the beach, downtrodden and alone, surrounded by movie posters reminding him of past success. While taking in the ocean, he bumps into a young woman named Lucy. He falls in love, turns his life around and ultimately sets sail to reconnect with the family he left behind.
"If you're already curating your potential 'songs of the summer' playlist, consider this new track from Steve Aoki a worthy addition" wrote Jeffrey Nelson of People (3/24/16).
"Can't Go Home" (http://smarturl.it/CantGoHome) is available now at all digital retailers on Ultra Music.
