Chifley victory speech
'The war is over' victory speech
Fellow citizens, the war is over.
The Japanese Government has accepted the terms of surrender imposed by the Allied Nations and hostilities will now cease. The reply by the Japanese Government to the Note sent by Britain, the United States, the USSR and China, has been received and accepted by the Allied Nations.
At this moment let us offer thanks to God.
Let us remember those whose lives were given that we may enjoy this glorious moment and may look forward to a peace which they have won for us.Let us remember those whose thoughts, with proud sorrow, turn towards gallant, loved ones who will not come back. On behalf of the people and the Government of Australia I offer humble thanks to the fighting men of the United Nations whose gallantry, sacrifice and devotion to duty have brought us to victory. Nothing can fully repay the debt we owe them nor can history record in adequate terms their deeds from the black days that followed September 1939 and December 1941, until this moment.
We owe, too, a great debt to those men and women who performed miracles of production, in secondary and primary industries so that the battle of supply could be won and a massive effort achieved. Materials, money and resources have been poured out so that the fighting men would not go short. Australia's part, comparatively, in terms of fighting forces and supplies, ranks high and the Australian people may be justly proud of everything they have done.
I am sure that you would like me to convey to the commanders of the fighting forces the warmest thanks for their skill, efficiency and great devotion. Especially do I mention General Douglas MacArthur with whom we have so much in common and with whom we shared the dangers when Australia was threatened with invasion.
In your name I offer to the leaders of the United Nations our congratulations and thanks. We join with the United States in a common regret that their inspiring leader, the late Mr Roosevelt did not live to see this day. We thank his successor, President Truman, for the work he has done. Australians too will feel their happiness tinged with sorrow that another man who gave his all was not spared to be with us today, that man was John Curtin. To Mr Churchill, Generalissimo Stalin and Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek go the unstinted thanks of free people everywhere for what they have done for the common cause. Especially do we honour Mr Churchill, with whom in the dark days - to use his own words - we had the honour to stand alone against aggression.
And now our men and women will come home; our fighting men with battle honours thick upon them from every theatre of war. Australians stopped the Japanese in their drive south, just as they helped start the first march towards ultimate victory in North Africa. Australians fought in the battles of the air everywhere and Australian seamen covered every ocean. They are coming home to a peace, which has to be won. The United Nations charter for a world organisation is the hope of the world and Australia has pledged the same activity in making it successful as she showed in the framing of it.
Here in Australia there is much to be done. The Australian Government, which stood steadfast during the dread days of the war, will give all that it has to working and planning to ensure that the peace will be a real thing. I ask that the State governments and all sections of the community should co-operate in facing the task and solving the problems that are ahead. Let us join together in the march of our nation to future greatness.
You are aware of what has been arranged for the celebration of this great victory and deliverance, and in the name of the Commonwealth Government, I invite you to join in the thanksgiving services arranged for, truly,this is a time to give thanks to God, and to those men against whose sacrifice for us there is no comparison.
Good day to you fellow citizens.

Thanks so much for your services Saturday night. We had a great time dancing to your music! I'll see you in June @ Cape weekend!
Thank you!!! You know I am always singing your praises! Thanks again. Hope to see you again soon!!
"We couldn't have been happier with the work you did. This definitely was not a plain and ordinary wedding. It is not easy working with people from another country and integrating the Swedish style wedding but you handled it extremely well. Everything was organized perfectly, from the ceremony, to the singer, to the introductions, working with the toastmaster, as well as all of the music. Your flexibility and willingness to work with whatever we wanted to do for the reception was a huge part to making the night flawless.
"Chris Pickett is a professional and organized DJ!
You did an outstanding job as DJ for our Golden Wedding Anniversary celebration. The dinner music was a quiet background, allowing mealtime conversation. Melody Of Love brought back fond memories and the choices of music for dancing with our children were highly appropriate. Later, you pleased our younger guests with songs like YMCA. We were pleased that the kids were having so much fun. Also, you were an excellent emcee, as you adapted the program so that our children could present their surprise video.
I recommend your services highly for any event.
"We had a fantastic time. Thank you for your big role in helping make it so. I'm sure that it was no coincidence that most guests – of all ages and musical preferences – found themselves on the dance floor for a majority of the evening. It was a wonderful event.
Thank you for the great job! We loved it all!
You played the songs that made our whole world sing. Thank you so much! You rock!
You have been our DJ for the past couple years… song selections / pace very appropriate for mixed ages attending… not a lot of DJ chatter and volume just right for conversation & dancing. You're always my first choice!
First class DJ coupled with a First Class Sound System! A winning combination every time!
Chris Pickett has been playing music a very long time and is excellent at knowing what a crowd likes. Chris always accommodates his customers from light dinner music to getting the party started when people want to Dance. Highly Recommended.
Chris Pickett is an awesome DJ. He knows how to study the crowd and play music to get everyone out on the dance floor. He is able to entertain everyone from young kids to grandparents. I still hear people talking about jobs he did years ago with fond memories. I would recommend him for any function.
"We have known Chris for the past 30 years. I had a surprise [wedding] anniversary party held in our honor by our children and they hired Chris to DJ. I found out then that this man is a natural. He doesn't beg to be noticed at all times; his selections are done with only a beneficial meaning to the purpose of the event.

Come alongside parents in their call to disciple the children God has entrusted to them by equipping children and youth in the Word of God and by providing childcare.
There are multiple opportunities to provide childcare for groups that meet for Ladies Bible Study, Marriage Builders, FLOCKS, and more. Consider serving families in this way to allow parents important time for fellowship, prayer, bible study, and accountability.
Has the Lord gifted and thereby called you to areas of leadership? Each of us is invited, to the delight and glory of God, to participate in His work to build His kingdom. The following opportunities are places to join in God's mission for his church, continue to develop your leadership skills, and to receive a guided mentoring experience in shepherding and discipleship. Leadership opportunities range from pastoral leadership training, to leading a small group of middle school and high school students, to facilitating group discussions, and teaching Sunday School.

We seek to provide love and encouragement with meals for those in need within the Grace Church family. Often times this is when there is an illness, a new birth, or some sort of life circumstance that makes the task of feeding either themselves or their families difficult. This ministry is facilitated and organized by our Women's ministry, but providing meals is not limited to only those in women's ministry! If you would like to serve in this way, we'd love to add you to our email list of volunteers to prepare meals!
When a member of our Grace Church family has experienced the death of a loved one, our Bereavement Committee can help love them in several practical ways such as: sending cards and flowers, providing food for visitations, and preparing and serving a funeral luncheon.
Our local outreach is purposed to build relationships with our community and to love them as Christ does by serving them and inviting them to respond to the call of God on their lives.


Polio drive to target millions in Horn | Medicinezine.com - Reviews and articles in Wellness & Lifestyle, Child & Teen Health, Women's Health, Men's Health, Mental Health, Natural Medicine, Drugs and Medication, Sexual Health.
KISUMU, 18 November 2013 (IRIN) – Efforts to stop the spread of polio in the Horn of Africa region are being ramped up with major immunization campaigns underway, targeting millions of vulnerable children.
There have been outbreaks in Kenya and Ethiopia, and more seriously neighbouring Somalia, with 183 cases confirmed this year up to October, according to a snapshot by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
This is the first outbreak in Somalia since 2007. In response, 3.4 million children under the age of 10 were targeted for vaccination between 20 and 26 October. "Further immunization campaigns are planned for November and December," the snapshot said.
If the polio outbreak in Somalia is not controlled quickly, global efforts to wipe out the disease once and for all could be jeopardized, warned the UN Children's Fund.
So far this year (up to 13 November), some 334 polio cases have been recorded globally, compared to 187 over the same period in 2012, according to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI). In 2012, a total of 223 cases were recorded worldwide.
In South Sudan, vaccination campaigns targeting those younger than 15 were carried out from 22-24 October, according to GPEI.
Immunizations campaigns are also planned in Ethiopia and Sudan.
A lack of humanitarian access is, however, hindering the exercise in Sudan's South Kordofan and Blue Nile states. In October, the UN Security Council expressed concern about the imminent threat of the spread of polio in South Kordofan and urged the government of Sudan and the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) to resolve their differences to enable a two-week polio vaccination campaign to take place in November.
"We are, on the UN side ready, if we get the green light," OCHA's director of the operation division, John Ging, told a press conference on 11 November.
"Sadly, and typically, since the Council passed its resolution calling for unfettered humanitarian access, once again we don't have any access at all," Ging said.
In Kenya, where 14 polio cases have been recorded, lapses in security along the border with Somalia are said to be partly to blame for the disease's spread.
"As long as increasing numbers of criminal gangs like Al-Shabab are still a threat, the war against polio will not be won," said Ian Njeru, head of the division of disease surveillance and response in the Health Ministry.
Njeru urged the Kenyan government to enhance border surveillance, noting that Somali asylum seekers, crossing into the country via unofficial crossing points, complicate efforts to fight polio.
Of the 14 cases, 10 have been reported in the Dadaab refugee complex, which hosts close to 400,000 mainly Somali refugees in eastern Kenya.
Kenya's Health Ministry plans to immunize some eight million children under the age of five in 2013 and has already reached 5.5 million in five previous campaigns. The next vaccination exercise will run from 16-20 November.
The scale and scope of global challenges requires working together in new ways, with new partners. Partnership has always been integral to OCHA's efforts. Sustained relations, built on trust and mutual respect, are vital when preparing for and responding to humanitarian emergencies. OCHA has a unique position within the international humanitarian system to convene and influence agendas. We will do this more strategically, with the aim of creating a more enabling environment for humanitarian action.
The expectations of OCHA have evolved since humanitarian reform. We will ensure that our services and support to partners also evolve and meet clients' needs. We are focused on helping partners more predictably through humanitarian coordination leadership, strengthening coordination mechanisms, and improving the evidence base for humanitarian decision-making, planning and resource allocation.
In 2010, OCHA will introduce surge solutions to ensure the right people are on the ground immediately after a new disaster. This will be coordinated with longer-term staffing to ensure continuity of OCHA presence.
OCHA is its people. From 35 offices around the world, some 1,900 specialized and dedicated OCHA staff work to ensure that effective assistance reaches millions of humanitarian beneficiaries in four continents.

Control center fire shuts down half Mexico City subway lines
(Associated Press)
(AP) - MEXICO CITY - A fire in the control center of the Mexico City subway has killed one woman and sent 32 other people to the hospital while knocking out service on half of the subway lines in the city of 9 million inhabitants.
The capital's Metro system normally carries over 130 million passengers each month.
The smoky fire hit the control center building in downtown Mexico City early Saturday, and while it was brought under control, half the system remained out of service late Saturday.
The victim has been identified by city prosecutors only as a 20-year-old woman. Local media say she was a security guard.

Q: ng-options Key Value pair есть массив list объектов вида
[
  {Key: "key1", Value: "val1"},
  {Key: "key2", Value: "val2"},
  ...
]

при использовании его в операторе ng-repeat
<select ng-repeat="obj.Key as obj.Value for obj in list"></select>

я в качестве значений опций получаю не свои ключи (key1, key2), а порядковые номера элементов в коллекции. т.е. примерно:
<option value='0'>val1</option>
<option value='1'>val2</option>

подозреваю,  это связано с именами переменных внутри объектов (Key, Value). Кто-то может разъяснить поподробнее?
UPD: я прошу прощения. в пример кода вкралась ошибка. следует читать ng-repeat как ng-options (в названии запроса указал правильно)...
<select ng-options="obj.Key as obj.Value for obj in list" ng-model="selectRes"></select>

A: Вам нужно заменить ng-repeat с ng-options. И добавить ng-model:
<select ng-model="selectedKey" ng-options="obj.Key as obj.Value for obj in list"></select>

This morning I had so much fun! When I first met with Matt and Chantelle, I explained that engagement sessions are a chance to have some fun and show some of your personality! One of their favourite dates is going horseback riding – so they had this great idea of going horseback riding for their photos. Today we met at Horseplay Niagara for some fun – as you can see below!
Meet Matt and Chantelle – they're so sweet!
Time to stop… and cuddle.


The Western Cape government has ordered that Equal Education "cease operations" at schools around the province until they meet to discuss a way forward, following a string of sexual harassment allegations made against the organisation.
In a statement released on Monday, Education MEC Debbie Schäfer said that the allegations of sexual harassment — revealed last week by the Mail & Guardian — were "most concerning".
Former general secretary Tshepo Motsepe, former head of national organising Luyolo Mazwembe, and co-founder and former treasurer Doron Isaacs are all facing separate sexual harassment allegations, which they deny. None of the allegations in the public domain relate to school children or minors.
"Equal Education works in schools across the province, and whilst at least some of the allegations appear to be from people within the staff of the organisation, it is not clear whether any learners are involved. In addition, if the allegations are correct, this is hardly the type of person we need working in our schools," Schäfer said.
She said she had written to Equal Education requesting that they furnish her with the details regarding "every interview or engagement" conducted by Motsepe, Mazwembe and Isaacs in the past year with any female learner.
Schäfer said she has requested the names of learners, the schools they attend, the date of the interviews and who was present during the interviews, by Friday.
"Sexual abuse against young female learners is prevalent in our communities, as raised by Equal Education on a number of occasions, and it is distressing that such allegations have been made against high ranking members of their own organisation," she said.
Equal Education has responded to Schäfer's request to suspend the organisation's operations in Western Cape schools, calling it unclear and unjustified.

AGENT ORANGE WIDOW AND FRIEND ARRESTED PROTESTING DRONES AT BEALE AIR FORCE BASE
TWO ACTIVISTS ARRESTED AT ANNUAL VIGIL TO CLOSE FT. BENNING'S SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS
PLEASE SUPPORT IMPRISONED ANTI-NUCLEAR AND ANTI-WAR ACTIVISTS – THE NUCLEAR RESISTER NEEDS YOU!
DECEMBER 1 – PRISONERS FOR PEACE DAY
On November 26, Chris Nelson and Shirley Osgood were arrested at Beale Air Force Base in California. They wanted to deliver a letter to the commander expressing concerns about drone warfare. After they were processed and released, they watched a Global Hawk drone take off from the base.
From Nelson's letter: "My husband Michael Pike died in September of Agent Orange related cancer. My husband was Special Forces in Vietnam and came to regret his role in the war and what the U.S. government did. I am here today in loving memory of that fine man to ask you to stop your role in the kill chain which uses the Northrup Grumman Global Hawk drone to identify human targets for extrajudicial execution. This is neither lawful (international and higher law) nor moral and you must know that. Horrible acts, like drone strikes, are leading to the atrocities we are seeing now. Inhumanity met with inhumanity."
Several thousand human rights activists converged at Ft. Benning in Georgia to call for an end to militarized state violence in the U.S. and abroad, and for the closure of the School of the Americas (SOA) housed at the base. A solemn funeral procession commemorated those murdered at the hands of SOA graduates.
After the procession was over, 62-year-old Nashua Chantal carried a ladder over to the fence and was arrested after climbing onto base property. Earlier that morning, 83-year-old Eve Tetaz was arrested after crossing into the base while carrying a poster of one of the 43 students disappeared in Ayotzinapa, Mexico this September. Both activists are scheduled to be in court for their arraignment on January 13.

Prisoners for Peace Day – December 1
December 1 is Prisoners for Peace Day. For over 60 years, War Resisters' International have, on this day, made known the names and stories of those imprisoned because of their actions for peace. Many are conscientious objectors, in gaol for refusing to join the military. Others have taken nonviolent actions to disrupt preparation for war.
This day is a chance for you to demonstrate your support for those individuals and their movements, by writing to those whose freedom has been taken away from them because of their work for peace.
Many thanks to the Jane Addams Peace Association Disarmament Fund for their recent grant to the Nuclear Resister, which primarily helped fund materials needed for participation in the Tucson All Soul's Procession. Our contingent remembered those who have died as a result of uranium mining, nuclear power, nuclear testing and nuclear weapons. You can read more here.

After 65 years, MidWives could deliver club with new name
There is a meeting tomorrow night at one of the area's biggest rugby clubs, Old Mid-Whitgiftian RFC, to discuss changing the club's name.
Tomorrow night, MidWives will tackle a far harder question: their name
The rugby club proposal comes a mere 65 years since the old boys' school changed its name to Trinity.
The extraordinary general meeting takes place at the club house at Lime Meadow Avenue, where a note to the agenda, from club chairman Russell Jones, explains, "We were originally founded in 1926 by and for former pupils of Whitgift Middle School.
"The school however changed their name to Trinity School of John Whitgift in 1954 and more recently the school have started to refer to their former pupils as OTs.
"We are therefore proposing to vote on changing the name of the club to either 'Trinity Croydon RFC' or 'Trinity RFC'."
Trinity School is now in Shirley Park, but from 1931 until 1965 it occupied a grand, Gothic building in North End, which was torn down to make way for the Whitgift Shopping Centre.
George Chuter: a hooker from Croydon
Before becoming a fee-paying independent school, Whitgift Middle School – so named to distinguish it from Whitgift School – was a grammar school.
Its former pupils include two England rugby internationals, Alex Codling and George Chuter, as well as Surrey and England opening batsman Mark Butcher.
The school's old boys' association was still known as Old Mid-Whitgiftians until 2010, when a vote was taken to change its name to the Trinity Mid-Whitgiftian Association, so the rugby club, known as "the MidWives", and whose first XV is enjoying a decent season at the top of the Surrey 1 division, is merely playing catch-up.

Conservatives mount a whisper campaign smearing Khashoggi in defense of Trump
By Robert Costa and
National political reporter covering the White House, Congress and campaigns
Karoun Demirjian
Congressional reporter focusing on national security
Hard-line Republicans and conservative commentators are mounting a whispering campaign against Jamal Khashoggi that is designed to protect President Trump from criticism of his handling of the dissident journalist's alleged murder by operatives of Saudi Arabia — and support Trump's continued aversion to a forceful response to the oil-rich desert kingdom.
In recent days, a cadre of conservative House Republicans allied with Trump has been privately exchanging articles from right-wing outlets that fuel suspicion of Khashoggi, highlighting his association with the Muslim Brotherhood in his youth and raising conspiratorial questions about his work decades ago as an embedded reporter covering Osama bin Laden, according to four GOP officials involved in the discussions who were not authorized to speak publicly.
Those aspersions — which many lawmakers have been wary of stating publicly because of the political risks of doing so — have begun to flare into public view as conservative media outlets have amplified the claims, which are aimed in part at protecting Trump as he works to preserve the U.S.-Saudi relationship and avoid confronting the Saudis on human rights.
Trump's remarks about reporters amid the Khashoggi fallout have inflamed existing tensions between his allies and the media. At a Thursday rally in Montana, Trump openly praised Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.) for assaulting a reporter in his bid for Congress last year.
"Any guy that can do a body slam, he's my kind of — he's my guy," Trump said.
Hours earlier, prominent conservative television personalities were making insinuations about Khashoggi's background.
Michael Beer holds a poster during a rally about the disappearance of Washington Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi outside the Embassy of Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. (Matt McClain/The Washington Post)
"Khashoggi was tied to the Muslim Brotherhood," Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner asserted on Thursday's highly rated "Outnumbered" show. "I just put it out there because it is in the constellation of things that are being talked about." Faulkner then dismissed another guest who called her claim "iffy."
In a statement on Friday, Faulkner defended her comments. "My job as a journalist is to ask the tough questions," Faulker said, citing news reports. "My questions surrounding the disappearance of Kashoggi are unwavering and does not differ from the way I do my job on other stories. The Oct. 2nd disappearance is a terrifying reminder of the dangers facing journalists and we will continue to report on all areas of this case as we search for answers."
Faulkner's on-air message was echoed on the campaign trail. Virginia Republican Corey A. Stewart, who is challenging Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), told a local radio program Thursday that "Khashoggi was not a good guy himself."
While Khashoggi was once sympathetic to Islamist movements, he moved toward a more liberal, secular point of view, according to experts on the Middle East who have tracked his career. Khashoggi knew bin Laden in the 1980s and 1990s during the civil war in Afghanistan, but his interactions with bin Laden were as a journalist with a point of view who was working with a prized source.
Khashoggi, a Saudi citizen, left his home country last year and was granted residency in the United States by federal authorities. He lived in Virginia and wrote for The Washington Post.

Nevertheless, the smears have escalated. Donald Trump Jr., the president's eldest son and key political booster, shared another person's tweet last week with his millions of followers that included a line that Khashoggi was "tooling around Afghanistan with Osama bin Laden" in the 1980s, even though the context was a feature story on bin Laden's activities.
A Tuesday broadcast of CRTV, a conservative online outlet founded by popular talk-radio host Mark Levin, labeled Khashoggi a "longtime friend" of terrorists and claimed without evidence that Trump was the victim of an "insane" media conspiracy to tarnish him. The broadcast has been viewed more than 500,000 times.
A story in far-right FrontPage magazine casts Khashoggi as a "cynical and manipulative apologist for Islamic terrorism, not the mythical martyred dissident whose disappearance the media has spent the worst part of a week raving about," and features a garish cartoon of bin Laden and Khashoggi with their arms around each other.
The conservative push comes as Saudi government supporters on Twitter have sought in a propaganda campaign to denigrate Khashoggi as a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist movement once tolerated but now outlawed in Saudi Arabia as a terrorist organization.
"Trump wants to take a soft line, so Trump supporters are finding excuses for him to take it," said William Kristol, a conservative Trump critic. "One of those excuses is attacking the person who was murdered."
Several Trump administration aides are aware of the Khashoggi attacks circulating on Capitol Hill and in conservative media, the GOP officials said, adding that aides are being careful to not encourage the disparagement but are also doing little to contest it.
The GOP officials declined to share the names of the lawmakers and others who are circulating information critical of Khashoggi because they said doing so would risk exposing them as sources.
Fred Hiatt, The Post's editorial page editor who published Khashoggi's work, sharply criticized the false and distorted claims about Khashoggi, who is feared to have been killed and dismembered by Saudi operatives.
"As anyone knows who knew Jamal — or read his columns — he was dedicated to the values of free speech and open debate. He went into exile to promote those values, and now he may even have lost his life for his dogged determination in their defense," Hiatt said in a statement. "It may not be surprising that some Saudi-inspired trolls are now trying to distract us from the crime by smearing Jamal. It may not even be surprising to see a few Americans joining in. But in both cases it is reprehensible."
Trump said Thursday it appears Khashoggi is dead and warned that his administration could consider "very severe" measures against Saudi Arabia, which is conducting its own self-investigation. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also announced that he would not attend the Future Investment Initiative summit in Saudi Arabia next week, delivering the Trump administration's first formal rebuke of Saudi Arabia's royal family.
"The president is concerned. He believes the relationship is important, so do I, but he also understands he's a leader on the world stage and everybody is watching and he is very concerned," said Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), who met with Trump on Thursday.
Trump, whose grip on his party remains strong less than three weeks before the midterm elections, has seen his cautious approach to Saudi Arabia bolstered not only by the maligning of Khashoggi, but also by a conservative media infrastructure that is generally wary of traditional news organizations and establishment Republicans. As criticism of Trump grows, powerful players in that orbit have stood by the president.
"Donald Trump is keeping his eye on the ball, keeping his eye on the geopolitical ball, the national security ball. He's not going to get sidetracked by what happened to a journalist, maybe, in the consulate there. He's not giving cover to anybody," syndicated talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday.
"For those who are screaming blood for the Saudis — look, these people are key allies," evangelical leader Pat Robertson said this week. "We've got an arms deal that everybody wanted a piece of. . . . It'll be a lot of jobs, a lot of money come to our coffers. It's not something you want to blow up willy-nilly."
Some Republicans on Capitol Hill, on the other hand, are discussing the possibility of legislative action against Saudi Arabia or other ways to lessen U.S. support.
Intelligence community officials this week have been providing continuous briefings on the investigation into Khashoggi's disappearance to the intelligence committees, whose members enjoy special clearance to view and hear sensitive information.
But in both the House and Senate, lawmakers without such clearance, including the leading Republicans on foreign policy matters, have grown frustrated with what many see as a deliberate attempt by the Trump administration to slow-walk responses to congressional requests for information about Khashoggi's disappearance, or in some cases ignore lawmakers' questions outright.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) have taken the step of invoking the Global Magnitsky Act to force Trump to report to Congress on whether people should face sanctions over Khashoggi's alleged death, including Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Yet there has been little confidence among senators that Trump will suddenly feel pressure to penalize high-ranking Saudi officials or take other sweeping punitive measures.
In the House, a perceived lack of cooperation from the White House on Khashoggi has compelled some Republicans to take new interest in a bill to invoke the War Powers Resolution to curtail U.S. military support for the Saudi-led coalition operating in Yemen's civil war. But the legislation has not secured the support of leading Republicans.
Last year, the House voted 366 to 30 to approve a nonbinding resolution stating that the United States' support for the Saudi-led coalition had not been congressionally authorized — an effort that did not rattle the administration, which continued to build its relationships with Saudi royalty.
Earlier this year, the Senate failed to enact legislation that would have curtailed U.S. support for the Saudi war effort, after appeals from Saudi officials and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis not to pass the measure.

Genetics and Genomics of the Triticeae
by Catherine Feuillet,Gary J. Muehlbauer
Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
Sequencing of the model plant genomes such as those of A. thaliana and rice has revolutionized our understanding of plant biology but it has yet to translate into the improvement of major crop species such as maize, wheat, or barley. Moreover, the comparative genomic studies in cereals that have been performed in the past decade have revealed the limits of conservation between rice and the other cereal genomes. This has necessitated the development of genomic resources and programs for maize, sorghum, wheat, and barley to serve as the foundation for future genome sequencing and the acceleration of genomic based improvement of these critically important crops. Cereals constitute over 50% of total crop production worldwide (http://www.fao.org/) and cereal seeds are one of the most important renewable resources for food, feed, and industrial raw materials. Crop species of the Triticeae tribe that comprise wheat, barley, and rye are essential components of human and domestic animal nutrition. With 17% of all crop area, wheat is the staple food for 40% of the world's population, while barley ranks fifth in the world production. Their domestication in the Fertile Crescent 10,000 years ago ushered in the beginning of agriculture and signified an important breakthrough in the advancement of civilization. Rye is second after wheat among grains most commonly used in the production of bread and is also very important for mixed animal feeds. It can be cultivated in poor soils and climates that are generally not suitable for other cereals. Extensive genetics and cytogenetics studies performed in the Triticeae species over the last 50 years have led to the characterization of their chromosomal composition and origins and have supported intensive work to create new genetic resources. Cytogenetic studies in wheat have allowed the identification and characterization of the different homoeologous genomes and have demonstrated the utility of studying wheat genome evolution as a model for the analysis of polyploidization, a major force in the evolution of the eukaryotic genomes. Barley with its diploid genome shows high collinearity with the other Triticeae genomes and therefore serves as a good template for supporting genomic analyses in the wheat and rye genomes. The knowledge gained from genetic studies in the Triticeae has also been used to produce Triticale, the first human made hybrid crop that results from a cross between wheat and rye and combines the nutrition quality and productivity of wheat with the ruggedness of rye. Despite the economic importance of the Triticeae species and the need for accelerated crop improvement based on genomics studies, the size (1.7 Gb for the bread wheat genome, i.e., 5x the human genome and 40 times the rice genome), high repeat content (>80%), and complexity (polyploidy in wheat) of their genomes often have been considered too challenging for efficient molecular analysis and genetic improvement in these species. Consequently, Triticeae genomics has lagged behind the genomic advances of other cereal crops for many years. Recently, however, the situation has changed dramatically and robust genomic programs can be established in the Triticeae as a result of the convergence of several technology developments that have led to new, more efficient scientific capabilities and resources such as whole-genome and chromosome-specific BAC libraries, extensive EST collections, transformation systems, wild germplasm and mutant collections, as well as DNA chips. Currently, the Triticeae genomics "toolbox" is comprised of: - 9 publicly available BAC libraries from diploid (5), tetraploid (1) and hexaploid (3) wheat; 3 publicly available BAC libraries from barley and one BAC library from rye; - 3 wheat chromosome specific BAC libraries; - DNA chips including commercially available first generation chips from AFFYMETRIX containing 55'000 wheat and 22,000 barley genes; - A large number of wheat and barley genetic maps that are saturated by a significant number of markers; - The largest plant EST collection with 870'000 wheat ESTs, 440'000 barley ESTs and about 10'000 rye ESTs; - Established protocols for stable transformation by biolistic and agrobacterium as well as a transient expression system using VIGS in wheat and barley; and - Large collections of well characterized cultivated and wild genetic resources. International consortia, such as the International Triticeae Mapping Initiative (ITMI), have advanced synergies in the Triticeae genetics community in the development of additional mapping populations and markers that have led to a dramatic improvement in the resolution of the genetic maps and the amount of molecular markers in the three species resulting in the accelerated utilization of molecular markers in selection programs. Together, with the development of the genomic resources, the isolation of the first genes of agronomic interest by map-based cloning has been enabled and has proven the feasibility of forging the link between genotype and phenotype in the Triticeae species. Moreover, the first analyses of BAC sequences from wheat and barley have allowed preliminary characterizations of their genome organization and composition as well as the first inter- and intra-specific comparative genomic studies. These later have revealed important evolutionary mechanisms (e.g. unequal crossing over, illegitimate recombination) that have shaped the wheat and barley genomes during their evolution. These breakthroughs have demonstrated the feasibility of developing efficient genomic studies in the Triticeae and have led to the recent establishment of the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium (IWGSC) (http//:www.wheatgenome.org) and the International Barley Sequencing Consortium (www.isbc.org) that aim to sequence, respectively, the hexaploid wheat and barley genomes to accelerate gene discovery and crop improvement in the next decade. Large projects aiming at the establishment of the physical maps as well as a better characterization of their composition and organization through large scale random sequencing projects have been initiated already. Concurrently, a number of projects have been launched to develop high throughput functional genomics in wheat and barley. Transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics analyses of traits of agronomic importance, such as quality, disease resistance, drought, and salt tolerance, are underway in both species. Combined with the development of physical maps, efficient gene isolation will be enabled and improved sequencing technologies and reduced sequencing costs will permit ultimately genome sequencing and access to the entire wheat and barley gene regulatory elements repertoire. Because rye is closely related

An Insight into the Strategies and Applications
by Farrukh Jamal
Publisher : BoD – Books on Demand
This collection presents various interesting aspects of genetic engineering. Many thought-provoking queries like "Is gene revolution an answer to the world hunger? Do GM crops with more complex transformation contribute to the enrichment of multinationals? Why the US increases food aids?" have been analyzed. Transformation protocols and retrieval of recombinants are essential to the success of genetic engineering. The book throws light on new transformation strategies which can be used to increase the transformation efficiency in most plant species. Genetic engineering offers potentially viable solution to look for alternatives beyond Bt toxins with similar pattern of toxicity. An interesting chapter is dedicated to in vitro fig regeneration and transformation systems. To address the long juvenile phase of fruit trees, the book includes a chapter on plant breeding technique that can significantly shorten the breeding periods. The book dwells on aspects of genome editing which will enable researchers to produce transgenic plants in a more convenient and safer way to genetic modification of stem cells holding significant therapeutic promise to treat complications of diabetes and obesity. I hope this book will serve as a seed for further investigations and novel innovations in the area of genetic engineering.
Cereal Genomics
by Pushpendra K. Gupta,R.K. Varshney
Cereals make an important component of daily diet of a major section of human population, so that their survival mainly depends on the cereal grain production, which should match the burgeoning human population. Due to painstaking efforts of plant breeders and geneticists, at the global level, cereal production in the past witnessed a steady growth. However, the cereal production in the past has been achieved through the use of high yielding varieties, which have a heavy demand of inputs in the form of chemical fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides/pesticides, leading to environmental degradation. In view of this, while increasing cereal production, one also needs to keep in mind that agronomic practices used for realizing high productivity do not adversely affect the environment. Improvement in cereal production in the past was also achieved through the use of alien genetic variation available in the wild relatives of these cereals, so that conservation and sustainable use of genetic resources is another important area, which is currently receiving the attention of plant breeders. The work leading to increased cereal production in the past received strong support from basic research on understanding the cereal genomes, which need to be manipulated to yield more from low inputs without any adverse effects as above. Through these basic studies, it also became fairly apparent that the genomes of all cereals are related and were derived from the same lineage, million of years ago.

by P. K. Gupta,R.K. Varshney
This book is the first of its kind, where twenty chapters written by experts of international repute, cover all aspects of cereal genomics research. In recent years genomics has become a thrust area of research in life sciences, and cereals, being the most important group of crops, their genomes have been subjected to intensive/extensive analyses. The knowledge and the products generated through cereal genomics research are already being used for plant breeding through both, the marker assisted selection (MAS) and transgenic cereals. The areas covered in this book include, development and use of all kinds of molecular markers (including SNPs), construction and use of molecular maps, study of population genetics and domestication of cereals using tools of genomics research, structural and functional genomics (including whole genome sequencing in Arabidopsis and rice), comparative genomics, QTLs (including epistatic and e-QTLs) and genes for resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses, marker assisted selection (MAS), map-based cloning of genes/QTLs and the use of genomics research for crop improvement. The book, therefore, should prove useful not only for students and teachers, but also for the young research workers, who are starting their research career in the field of cereal genomics.
by Ibrokhim Y. Abdurakhmonov
Plant genomics aims to sequence, characterize, and study the genetic compositions, structures, organizations, functions, and interactions/networks of an entire plant genome. Its development and advances are tightly interconnected with proteomics, metabolomics, metagenomics, transgenomics, genomic selection, bioinformatics, epigenomics, phenomics, system biology, modern instrumentation, and robotics sciences. Plant genomics has significantly advanced over the past three decades in the land of inexpensive, high-throughput sequencing technologies and fully sequenced over 100 plant genomes. These advances have broad implications in every aspect of plant biology and breeding, powered with novel genomic selection and manipulation tools while generating many grand challenges and tasks ahead. This Plant genomics provides some updated discussions on current advances, challenges, and future perspectives of plant genome studies and applications.

Cereal Genomics II
by Pushpendra K. Gupta,Rajeev Varshney
"Cereal Genomics" published in 2004 served the purpose of collecting all information on cereal genomics at one place and was well received by the cereal workers through-out the world. The last eight years have witnessed significant advancement in the field of cereal genomics. For instance, high-density genetic maps, physical maps, QTL maps and even draft genome sequence have become available for several cereal species. Furthermore, the next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have revolutionized genomics research, so that it is possible now to sequence genomes of hundreds or thousands of accessions of an individual cereal crop. Significant amounts of data generated using these NGS technologies created a demand for computational tools to analyse this massive data. In view of these developments, the Editors realised that there was a need to have an updated volume on the present status and future prospects of cereal genomics. These developments related to technology and the tools have been documented in this volume, thus supplementing our earlier edited volume "Cereal Genomics". "Cereal Genomics II" discusses advances in cereal genomics research made during the last eight years, and presents state-of-art cereal genomics and its utilization involving both basic research such as comparative genomics and functional genomics, and applied research like QTL mapping and molecular breeding.

Genetics and Genomics of Pineapple
by Ray Ming
This book is the first comprehensive volume on the genetics and genomics of pineapple and provides an overview of the current state of pineapple research. Pineapple [Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.] is the second most important tropical fruit after banana in term of international trade. Its features are advantageous for genomic research: it has a small genome of 527 Mb which is diploid and vegetatively propagated; it is monocot, closely related to the grass family that includes major cereal crops, wheat, rice, corn, sorghum, and millet; and it serves as an out group for genetic and genomic research in grasses. In addition to exploring the evolution and improvement of pineapple, this work examines the pineapple genome with respect to genome structure and organization, comparative analyses with other angiosperm genomes, transcription factors, disease resistance, and circadian clock regulation of CAM related genes. With chapters covering botanical, genetic, genomic, and applied aspects of pineapple, this text also encourages the application of genomic technologies and suggests future prospects.
Rice Biotechnology
Improving Yield, Stress Tolerance and Grain Quality
by Jamie A. Goode,Derek J. Chadwick
Publisher : John Wiley & Sons
Rice is the most important food crop for half the world's population. Over the last three decades, the imporvement in human nutrition and health in Asia has largely been attributable to a relatively stable and affordable rice supply. The challenge to produce enough rice for the future, however, remains daunting, as the current rate of population growth outpaces that of increases in rice production. Science has a central role to play in raising rice productivity and this book highlights areas of plant science that are particularly relevant to solving the major constraints on rice production. Examining molecular, genetic and cellular techniques, it considers recent advances in four research approaches for increasing yields and improving the nutritional quality of rice. Plant genomics: knowing the identity and location of each gene in the rice genome is of immense value in all aspects of rice science and cultivar improvement. Molecular biological approaches to increase yield: to produce more biomass by increasing photosynthetic rate and duration, and by improving grain filling. Enhancing tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses: with new DNA array technologies, it is now possible to assess global genomic response to stresses. Understanding the relationships among stress pathways may create new opportunities for gene manipulation to enhance tolerance to multiple biotic and abiotic stresses. Improving nutritional quality in the grain: knowledge of the biosynthesis of micronutrients in plants permits genetic engineering of metabolic pathways to enhance the availability of micronutrients.

Genetic and Genomic Resources of Grain Legume Improvement
by Mohar Singh,Hari D. Upadhyaya,I. S. Bisht
Publisher : Newnes
Grain legumes, including common-bean, chickpea, pigeonpea, pea, cowpea, lentil and others, form important constituents of global diets, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Despite this significant role, global production has increased only marginally in the past 50 years. The slow production growth, along with a rising human population and improved buying capacity has substantially reduced the per capita availability of food legumes. Changes in environmental climate have also had significant impact on production, creating a need to identify stable donors among genetic resources for environmentally robust genes and designing crops resilient to climate change. Genetic and Genomic Resources of Grain Legume Improvement is the first book to bring together the latest resources in plant genetics and genomics to facilitate the identification of specific germplasm, trait mapping and allele mining to more effectively develop biotic and abiotic-stress-resistant grains. This book will be an invaluable resource for researchers, crop biologists and students working with crop development. Explores origin, distribution and diversity of grain legumes Presents information on germplasm collection, evaluation and maintenance Offers insight into pre-breeding/germplasm enhancement efforts Integrates genomic and genetic resources in crop improvement Internationally contributed work

610 - Merry Mayhem
"Angel hair is a passé noodle, but you know...it's a good time." -Charles Lam (2019)
We're sorry for the incoherent rambling of this episode. It was very late :(
Leslie Allison November 11, 2019 at 9:02 AM
Audrey's speech is just another example of writers trying to rewrite history. Audrey said two things about Pacey and Joey that annoys me every time I hear it. She said Joey was the one that got away (from Pacey) and that Joey broke his heart. Where the writers high? Pacey broke up with Joey. Whatever reasons he gave Joey, it was his decision to end it so Joey didn't get away, he let her go. She didn't break his heart, he broke her heart. Why did the writers feel the need to rewrite that? Also, Pacey and Dawson made peace in season 4. Now we're supposed to believe they still hate each other even after Pacey gave Joey his blessing about she and Dawson "Getting their shot" because supposedly they never got one (again even that was a lie on the writers' part) and Dawson and Joey had a chance to be together but it exploded in their faces like it always does so why would they still hate each other? Again making it all about Joey. Both instances are all about Joey and making her into this majestic being that these men will forever be at odds over even though it was Joey's choice to be with Pacey so there is no reason for Dawson to "forgive" Joey yet not Pacey especially at this point. The whole thing is very irritating. I don't know how this show got a bunch of hack writers together for two seasons.
Personally, I thought Audrey's rant was fine. She lashed out in a way designed to hurt everyone. Doesn't have to be the total truth or include things she doesn't know about. Even then, what has the Dawson/Pacey friendship been since end of season 3? Basically non-existent, when prior to it they were BFF. Wasn't Dawson even surprised to see him at Mitch's funeral, like a "what are you doing here?" type response (of surprise, not anger). They're on cordial terms, but at a huge distance because of what went down, fracturing a best friendship that really never could or would recover. They never talk or associate together, gee I hope they don't bring money into the mix too…..
Anyways, it's also semantics but I think Joey (or really more Joey's situation of getting ready to grow and grow up out of Capeside) broke Pacey's heart, he knew he wasn't good enough for her or they wouldn't be in the same place at the same stage of life. Which, from Audrey's perspective is true. Audrey was a good partner to Pacey, and remember what after they were together for a year she overheard Pacey's true feelings that he didn't love her. Pacey never held a girlfriend in that low of regard, he def loved Andie and Joey and treated Audrey worse, so I think she was just spewing bitter feelings in order to make them as unhappy as she is.
Leslie Allison November 11, 2019 at 12:17 PM
While I do think Joey added to Pacey's insecurity about her feelings for Dawson, she did not break his heart by wanting to go to college. He dumped her in front of their 12th grade class. He broke her heart. His own insecurities caused him to feel he wasn't good enough. As for Audrey's speech, you're entitled to think it was fine, but I doubt the writers had what you're saying in mind. It's not the first and only times the writers have done this. While they did have Joey mention Pacey broke up with her later on in another episode, what would be the point of the writers having Audrey spit out a bunch of untruths to hurt them? I think the writers intention was for Audrey to be speaking the truth to hurt them and make them feel uncomfortable because they know she's "right" but in reality, she really wasn't in regards to Pacey and Joey. Later on the writers did once again decide to ignore all the progress Dawson and Pacey made previously to stir up that ridiculous Joey came between them storyline again. It makes me want to gag lol All in all, it's a matter of perspective and I respect yours, just saying I don't see it the same way.
Kate November 11, 2019 at 3:04 PM
I think the time that Joey mentions that Pacey broke up with her is just about the only time the writers of the show EVER remembered that (shout-out to Gina Fattore who wrote that episode).
No worries, Leslie, I respect your viewpoint too and you certainly aren't wrong! IMO, Pacey did have a broken heart, though it is unfair to blame it on Joey..But her aspirations were to get into college and outgrow Capeside, two things Pacey was incapable of as a senior. That did break Pacey's heart and made him withdraw from the relationship (not very mature by him) and then he in turn definitely dumped her at prom. But I mean she was kissing Dawson like 2 episodes later (which is a whole different can of worms) so.....
Maybe I'm giving the writers too much credit but I do feel it's OK for a very angry Audrey to bring up the nasty Pacey/Joey breakup, if only to emphasize to Eddie (who I don't think knows much about Pacey...right?) that he's walking into a lot of history and Audrey's doing what she can to sabotage as many people as possible at that table and bring everyone down. I was always fine to give them a pass for that since Audrey was mixing alcohol and pills and just trying to spew venom.
She was kissing Dawson at the end of the season because the writers insisted on shoving the pair of them together at the end of every season (except season 3) - presumably just in case it was their last one, so they could make sure they ended on the 'and the soulmates lived happily ever after'.
I never thought it made much sense, other than Joey was having a nervous breakdown??? "Coda" is one of my least favourite episodes. Ugh.
Typo- ***Were the writers high?***

Agree with Leslie A all the way: the retconning was strong in s06 (and all about Joey). Just to add: My vision of season 6 writers' room. They are sitting around, drinking coffee, looking at the plot-lines on white board as they break the next episode when the head writer says: "Why don't we include something with the gay kid? Uhhh, what was his name?"

It feels like the writers are teasing us. They give Jack a love interest (David) who seems like more fun than either Ethan or Toby, then we don't see if again who god knows how many episodes.
I must be sleepy too. I meant to say we don't see him again for god knows how many episodes.

I'm with Leslie on this one too. It kinda drives me crazy that the writers forgot that Pacey was the one who broke up with Joey back in season 4. In an incredibly cruel and public way, no less, which I still haven't forgiven the writers for because I still think it was seriously out of character. But I digress.
re: Anonymous's comment, you said that Pacey "knew he wasn't good enough for her" - I disagree. He *thought* that. She didn't. That's on him, not her.
But Audrey was right about one thing ... ;)
"He *thought* that. She didn't. That's on him, not her." I'll buy that, Kate. As I said, maybe my quibble should just be that Pacey's heart was broken not WHO did it.. Joey got into the big time college and was leaving town. At the time it didn't look like he was going to graduate high school at all. It's not Joey's fault Pacey felt inadequate, but her bright future vs. his bleak one still made it very daunting and hurt him, as an immature and insecure person that was scared.
Yeah, I agree with that :) I think ultimately Pacey broke his own heart. He realised very quickly that he'd made a mistake in doing so, and that he'd blamed Joey for something that wasn't her fault, but by then it was too late. While I hate the episode where they break up, I find their dynamic in the next few episodes compelling to watch. There is so much pain there but also understanding and a certain amount of trust that remains.
It's a shame that Pacey never saw his own value, because someone with his level of charm and work ethic actually had a greater chance of becoming successful than the likes of Dawson, who was much more self-absorbed and self-aggrandising. I'd hire a Pacey before I'd hire a Dawson! (Although I will say Dawson has somewhat improved over time.)
That's partly why Pacey is so obsessed with making money and being all successful when he comes home for Christmas, because he's living the life that he never thought he'd get to have. It's a shame Doug never quite manages to unpack that. They skim over it in the Doug/Pacey scene and then move on. Although I guess we will get back to it in a few episodes' time...
Another great podcast episode! I was also driving while listening to this one but didn't feel the need to shout at Charles this time :)
Was great to hear from Josh from COTW, and I wholeheartedly agreed with his take on the Joey's final situation. I'm not sure if anyone really called back to season 4 in the previous comment section re: Joey getting to retake tests, but the same thing applied that time - she'd already seen the test, so one can only assume that she got given different questions the second time she took it. (Although they did cut to her studying short answer questions with Pacey that evening, which was a bit suspicious...) At least she was actually a good student at that stage. Pacey did successfully convince her teacher to give her another shot though, which is just another reason why Pacey is better than Eddie ;)
Why were Grams and Jen in Capeside at all? They don't live there anymore. Where were they staying? Grams sold her house and there was no evidence that they were putting up at the B&B. I wish they'd been allowed to stay at home in Boston and have their own little Christmas storyline (a happy one, even!) instead of being dragged back to Capeside and sat at the table with nothing to do. At least they got more screen time than Bessie and Bodie ... and I don't think that you mentioned this Traci but that's also a series wrap on Bodie now :(
Also I love Doug, but he hasn't ALWAYS been the voice of reason in Pacey's life. Remember the time he pulled a gun on Pacey in season 1? Doug didn't really get on Pacey's team until mid season 3 when their dad makes Pacey spend the night in jail and Doug brings him coffee and Pacey tells him that he's in love with Joey. Dougie is definitely an MVP by this point though, and easily the best male role model Pacey has ever had, which is slightly alarming in itself. I wish they could've brought Sasha Alexander back for an episode. Christmas with the Witter siblings would've been way more fun than spending more time with Todd and Natasha...
Looking forward to the study hall next week :)
I didn't think Joey and Eddie meeting each other's families was as big a deal as they made it out to be They're both so young. It's not like this is the step right before marriage. Eddie should definitely learn to finesse the truth though. He could have talked about jobs/opportunities he would like to pursue rather than the lackluster answers he gave to Mr. Potter's questions. It was also poor parenting strategy on Mr. Potter's part when he brought up Dawson getting Eddie a job in front of everyone. Nothing drives a teenager further into her slacker boyfriend's arms than the disapproval of a parent. Teenagers do so love to feel like it's them against the world. The show definitely missed an opportunity for Joey and her dad to hash out their feelings in this episode. It would be nice to see Joey tell her dad that he over stepped his bounds and have him in return explain his parental protectiveness.
I hated Joey and Dawson's conversation at the end. They always talk so much without ever really saying anything. They go on and on about hurting each other, being there for each other, and helping each other figure everything but they never get into the concrete of what the heck they are figuring out and what they want from their relationship.
Agree with Kate that a Witter Christmas would be nice. I'm sure Gretchen would give Pacey some good advice about how being a stockbroker wasn't for him. She would also do it in a sweeter and less abrasive way than Doug..
This show is a plethora of missed opportunities. Would have loved to see a Joey/Mr Potter interaction - I originally thought that was where the story was going, but it just fizzled out.
Dawson and Joey are so painful together that I usually fast forward through their scenes.
Gretchen definitely would have sat Pacey down and had a proper conversation with him. *sigh* I miss Gretchen. I never liked her until my 2019 DC rewatch and now (aside from her decision to date Dawson) she's one of my faves.
Like they said on the pod it really stinks this was the series wrap on Joey's dad (and Bodie!!!!!) Especially Mr. Potter to just show up casually and everyone is fine with it, after last we knew it was MIA, that sucked. We all know show has enough Joey so I'm fine with not having even more, but some actual resolution to the Mr Potter arc would have been nice.

Everybody has made some really great points and I loved reading what everyone had to say. I just really wish Greg Berlanti had stayed on after season four. I think he would've kept the show balanced. They say he was a consultant for five but he was working on Everwood I think so he probably didn't have much say at the end of the day. It's interesting to hear commentary from EP Paul Stupin, because he admits they should've waited on that Dawson and Joey kiss especially when nothing really came from it in the next season. It's just so weird about their choices. They spent a year on the Pacey and Joey build up and romance only to try and erase it all in the next two seasons until someone I guess realized that their final season was coming to an end so let's draw in viewers by milking the popularity of the Pacey and Joey coupling only to ruin it a few episodes later.... For Eddie no less only for him to leave permanently a few episodes later. I don't get it. Seasons five and six were like that. Her gross "romance" with the professor, Charlie, Dawson, Eddie and Pacey. They'd pair her with them and then it was over in a poof. Now that I think about it, nobody really had a healthy and fulfilling relationship on this show. Pacey and Joey were happy on the boat but when they got back to Hellside, it started to implode. Mitch and Gail had that affair sl. Dawson and Gretchen were good together but they had to overcome her embarrassment for dating a teenager rightly so and they were never meant to be long term and poor Jenn and Jack. Grams and Gramps were the closest this show had to a healthy and fullfilling romance I think.
I love reading all these comments too, it's so nice to have people to talk Dawson's Creek with after all these years! I wish Greg Berlanti would've stayed on as well. I think he'd have prevented it from becoming The Joey Potter Show, which unfortunately it did. (And I say this as someone who likes Joey - most of the time. She becomes pretty unbearable by the end.)
Nothing ever really came from the Dawson/Joey romantic entanglements beyond season 2. It would've been nice to see more of their friendship from season 4 onwards, rather than the constant back and forth over "will they/won't they" that plagued their every interaction. If they'd gone back to being friends, then much further down the line had decided that they were now grown up enough to give their relationship another shot, it could've been compelling to watch. (I say this as a huge P/J stan so I can't even believe I'm typing these words, honestly.)
Healthy and fulfilling relationships weren't exactly Dawson's Creek's forte. Pacey and Andie were reasonably functional and good for each other for a while. I do think Pacey and Joey were good for each other (at times) but the Dawson situation made it unhealthy - amongst other things, but that was the major roadblock for them in S4. In S6, the roadblock was Joey being indecisive and making inexplicable choices (aka shitty writing). Dawson's weird hangup about saving himself for Joey was also a problem in the Grawson relationship (Gretchen deserved better). I never liked Mitch and Gail. But Bessie and Bodie seemed to do okay, especially considering how often he was out of town. IMO, Bodie is the underrated MVP of the series.
I watched seasons one through four when they aired and only recently watched season five and six. Honestly, I didn't hate the college seasons as much as I thought I would. Maybe this would be different if I has watched them back in the day. As has been pointed out on the podcast and in the comments, they had some good concepts (Mitch's death, Jack's downward spiral, Pacey and Dawson's professional development, Joey and Pacey's reunion), but the execution was really rushed. If they had just spent more time developing the stories rather than moving from plot point to plot point the last two seasons would have been so much better.
On the subject of Joey's season five and six romances, I'm an outlier here. I liked the concepts of Professor Wilder and Eddie. Yes, a Professor Wilder/Joey romance is gross, but I think it makes sense. Joey is a girl with daddy issue galore. Professor Wilder represents that caring supportive father. He encourages her and tells her she talented. He does so at a very vulnerable time in her life when she is in an unfamiliar environment surrounded by students who for the most part have had more advantages in life than her. I think the direction they took it was ridiculous. Joey becoming his muse isn't believable to me. Him being a much older guy attracted to vulnerable younger woman does. I wish they had developed that angle and had Joey deal with the fallout of realizing he is a creep. Also, it would have been high drama for her fellow classmates to find out about their romance and have her deal with that fallout as well. On a side note, the idea that Professor Wilder is the sexy Professor on campus makes me giggle. I always think of him as sleazy Vinnie Van Lowe from Veronica Mars. As for Eddie, I think he makes a lot of sense for Joey. They have a common love for literature. He spouts off lines about wanting to 'really live life' . I think this is very attractive for a girl like Joey who desperately wants to escape Capeside and it's small town mentality. Yeah, he's moody and bitchy, but so is Joey. I do wish they had given Eddie's character a bit more meat, but again everything in the last couple of seasons was rushed.
Happy relationships make for for dull television, so they couldn't really stave off the angst for too long. I agree though that it would have been interesting if they had developed Joey and Dawson's friendship and only then had them give romance a go.
Emily November 14, 2019 at 11:52 AM
First, Amen to Allison... said it exactly right. The writers were so close to having good storylines in seasons 5&6, but then go and mess it up. Here are some examples of how the writers had a good story or couple, but then later created a mess with it, making no sense. 1) With Audrey making Pacey/Dawson at odds when their actually fine with each other by this point. 2) With not letting it go with Joey/Dawson. When Joey finally realized she loves Dawson in a friend soulmate way in Seasons3/4, why couldn't they have let it be? Instead, they open season 5 with her pinning away for Dawson instead of her 'true love' Pacey? Makes no sense. 3) After Eddie leaves and then writers bring us Castaways... Why would they bring Eddie back? And if so, why have Joey fall for his lame 'I need you if I want to be a writer' speech? Make her like early-seasons Joey- strong-minded and say no.
Any other examples of a great story that resurfaced badly?
iwishicouldwink November 15, 2019 at 1:33 AM
I agree with so much of the above, about the forcing of D/J and basically ruining their actual friendship, about Audrey's inaccurate speech etc etc. Some other random thoughts about Merry Mayhem:
- The Mr Potter popping up out of nowhere to interrogate Eddie was just super random...surely he would have empathy for him knowing people can't always follow a particular path...I know the writers wanted to create a conflict but still
- Audrey is OBSESSED with Eddie being working class, every second word out of her mouth about him is 'blue collar'. It's very snobby and contributes to my waning sympathy for her tbh
- As Traci and Charles mention in the podcast, Natasha inexplicably turns into a pantomime villain. Her speech in Dawson's bedroom made me cringe purely for the amount of times she said the word 'Dawson'. Bad writing
- Pacey's gay 'jokes' for Doug sure aren't holding up too well are they? Especially as Jack is one of his close friends and flatmates?!
- When Audrey says in her speech that Pacey can't commit to an adult relationship it makes me cringe a bit - he can, just not with you I'm afraid. She's convinced the whole break up is entirely his fault and he has wronged her but I really don't see it that way? He just didn't want to be with her, so broke up with her (I'm really not a huge S6 Audrey fan)
- In a similar vein, why the hell should Pacey take the rap for Audrey? He isn't her boyfriend, he is not 'responsible' for her spiral - she wasn't going to class and stuff way before her and Pacey started having problems. She doesn't seem in any way apologetic for CRASHING A CAR INTO THE SIDE OF HER FRIEND'S MOTHER'S HOUSE. She's really horrible to Jen for literally no reason. I get that she is having problems but sometimes you really do have to show up and take some responsibility jeez. I'm on Doug's side.
"Audrey is OBSESSED with Eddie being working class, every second word out of her mouth about him is 'blue collar'."
Which is funny because all we know about him is he is a bartender and he likes to write/read and sits in on college classes that he's not enrolled in. Eddie isn't exactly a mechanic with his hands covered in grime or punching the clock at a steel mill or something like Audrey would have you believe.
It's also very bizarre, even for a TV show that there is no real reaction to Audrey driving a car through Dawson's house among the gang. I mean in real life that probably condemns the house (lol) but come on, no one barely bats an eye. Wasn't the unseen Lilly probably asleep in a room nearby too? She coulda been killed! Plotholes bigger than the forgotten hole in the side of Gale's house.
So true! If I was Gail I would have gone batshit crazy!
Did Pacey make those "gay jokes" about Doug from the beginning? Has Kevin Williamson (or Greg Berlanti) ever commented on it? Those definitely haven't aged well...
Sarah November 24, 2019 at 10:53 AM
I feel like Pacey has been making these "gay jokes" about Doug for awhile. Maybe from the beginning/first season, but at least for the past several seasons. True that Jack was one of his roommates and didn't make those same jokes to him. Pacey doesn't seem to have a problem with LGBTQ people in general, so IDK why he makes these jokes to Doug.

This exhibition is a comprehensive retrospective celebrating the poster designs of Kazumasa Nagai, a leading Japanese graphic designer who has exerted a profound influence on the international world of design in a career that has spanned over sixty years.
Kazumasa Nagai was born in Osaka in 1929. He withdrew from the sculpture department of the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music in 1951 to join the Daiwabo textile company, where he was placed in charge of advertising and began his career as a graphic designer. He became a member of the Japan Advertising Artists Club (JAAC) in 1953, and in 1960 he participated in the founding of the Nippon Design Center with a group of fellow designers that included Yusaku Kamekura and Ikko Tanaka. His diverse career has encompassed the production of posters, CI and symbol marks, and etchings, and with honors including the Gold Prize at the 1st Warsaw International Poster Biennale in 1966 and his selection as the designer of the 1972 Sapporo Olympic Winter Games symbol mark, he has been a driving force in the postwar world of Japanese graphic design.
Through his design work, Kazumasa Nagai has explored such universal and fundamental human themes as space and life, and his efforts to convey his vision and push the boundaries of design have resulted in many pioneering works of graphic design. His career has revolved around the production of posters, including the series of posters he has designed for exhibitions of the Museum of Modern Art, Toyama in the thirty-some years since the museum's opening. A remarkable body of work that is quite without parallel in the world, this series illustrates the extraordinary graphic design skills of this designer and constitutes an important part of his life's work.
This book charts the extensive course of Kazumasa Nagai's poster design career with approximately 500 representative works, including the Museum of Modern Art, Toyama poster series and also featuring works ranging from those of his early period, with their abstract geometric designs and connotations of vast universes, to the most recent installations of his LIFE series, which probes the meaning and mysteries of life.
For more than a half-century, Kazumasa Nagai has created a world of poster design that reminds us of that which we have a tendency to forget – a contemplation of what it means to be alive, and the very meaning of art itself. It is our hope that this exhibition will serve as an opportunity for us to ponder these questions anew.
