How Kishi Nobusuke Got the US-Japan Security Treaty Okayed
FROM THE LECTURE SERIES: THE RISE OF MODERN JAPAN
March 6, 2022 History
By Mark J. Ravina, University of Texas
In June 1960, Japanese Prime Minister Kishi Nobusuke faced a diplomatic and public relations disaster. US president Dwight Eisenhower's press secretary, James C. Hagerty, had arrived at Haneda Airport to coordinate the final details of Eisenhower's upcoming visit, the first-ever visit to Japan by a sitting US president. And yet, what was deemed as Kishi's expected career triumph had turned into a catastrophe. Read on to find out why.
The new US-Japan security treaty was going to replace the earlier 1951 treatymage: U.S. Department of State/Public domain)
The New US-Japan Security Treaty
The new US-Japan security treaty was going to be the high point of Kishi Nobusuke's career. It would replace the earlier 1951 treaty, concluded when Japan was still under US occupation.
The circumstances in 1960 were different than in 1951. The new partnership would signal Japan's re-emergence as a fully sovereign nation and as a trusted US partner.
But things did not go according to plan. As Hagerty was driving from the airport, radical college students and communists breached the airport fence and surrounded his car. They jumped on the roof, sang the communist International anthem, chanted 'Hagerty go home' and smashed the car's windows and fenders.
The violence was more theatrical than destructive. The protestors made no effort to get into the car, and Hagerty was unharmed. But he did end up being trapped in a car that was pelted with rocks for an hour, until a US Marine helicopter arrived to extract him.
The Anti-treaty Movement
Hagerty concluded that a presidential visit would be politically unwise, and potentially unsafe. It was canceled, and 10 days later, Nobusuke announced that he would resign as prime minister.
The fact was that there were many factors which had given birth to the anti-treaty movement. Factors such as the appeal of neutrality, Soviet supremacy in the space race, problems with the bases, and Nobusuke's own past—all these factors began moving Japanese opinion away from the treaty.

Chaos in the Diet
Across the country, rallies and petitions against the treaty were growing larger, with millions of signatures arriving at the Diet.
Ultimately, Nobusuke boxed himself in. With Eisenhower scheduled to visit Japan, the US State Department kept asking if things were OK. He responded that everything was fine. But on May 19th, he called for a vote to extend the Diet's time in session—that extra time would be used to vote on the treaty itself.
The opposition didn't have the votes to block the extension, but they thought public opinion was shifting their way. So, opponents of the treaty sat down in front of the Diet speaker's office so that he couldn't leave and reach the rostrum. Through nonviolent, non-parliamentary tactics, they blocked the vote until 11 pm, at which point the speaker—a Kishi ally—called the police and had the entire opposition carried out.

Treaty Approved
With the opposition gone, the speaker called the Diet to order and held the vote to extend the session. With the session extended, a vote was called on the treaty itself. It was approved. Nobusuke had won. It was a classic Pyrrhic victory. Nobusuke had won the battle and lost the war.
The optics of what had just occurred were horrific. The opposition had been trying to paint Nobusuke as an unrepentant warmonger, and he gave them the perfect images: police physically dragging the opposition out of the Diet.
Condemning Kishi Nobusuke
Every major Japanese newspaper condemned Prime Minister, Kishi Nobusuke, for acting like an autocrat—even the Nikkei, the Japanese equivalent of the Wall Street Journal.
Japan's leading intellectual, Maruyama Masao, gave a hugely influential speech declaring that the question was no longer about the treaty but the survival of Japan as a democracy. He argued: "If you have a fragment of reason and conscience, you have no choice but to join with us and rise up to erase this stain from Japan's political history."
By this point, Nobusuke was politically dead. He didn't know it yet, but he was finished.
And yet, with Nobusuke gone, the anti-treaty movement had collapsed, having achieved one key goal—the defeat of Nobusuke. But, ironically, it had utterly failed at the second—stopping the treaty.
Common Questions about How Kishi Nobusuke Got the US-Japan Security Treaty Okayed
Q: What factors gave birth to the anti-treaty movement in Japan?
The factors which had given birth to the anti-treaty movement were many, such as, the appeal of neutrality, Soviet supremacy in the space race, problems with the bases, and Kishi Nobusuke's own past.
Q: Not having the votes to block the extension, what did the opposition do?
The opposition didn't have the votes to block the extension, but they thought public opinion was shifting their way. So, opponents of the treaty sat down in front of the Diet speaker's office so that he couldn't leave and reach the rostrum. Through nonviolent, non-parliamentary tactics, they blocked the vote until 11 pm, at which point the speaker—a Kishi Nobusuke ally—called the police and had the entire opposition carried out

Why do some people like programming?
Answer by Marcus Geduld:
- I like creating something out of nothing. That's not literally what you do when you're programming, because there's existing hardware and software that serves as a foundation for your work, but it sure feels that way. Someone has an idea and you build it from the ground up. When you begin, there's just an empty text editor. When you're done, there's a (hopefully) working program.
- I like building things people use. It's amazing to type up some code, press a button, and suddenly thousands of people on the Internet are playing with it.
- I like playing God. Programming allows you to build little worlds and then play with them, making adjustments and watching the effects. It's like owning a toy planet and saying, "I'm going to make it rain, today. Oh, look! All the little people have opened umbrellas!" This playing-God aspect of programming makes it similar to writing novels, painting paintings, or directing plays.
- I like working within systems that demand precision. This is exactly what some people hate about programming, but it thrills me. A misplaced semicolon or the smallest typo can be disastrous. This keeps me on my toes. It's like being the butler on "Downton Abbey" or "Upstairs, Downstairs." Everything must be just so. Some people like precision; others like being about to say, "I can't describe it, but you know what I mean..." I'm the former type.
- I like solving puzzles. If you want to see if programming is for you, try out this puzzle book: The Little Schemer - 4th Edition: Daniel P. Friedman, Matthias Felleisen, Duane Bibby, Gerald J. Sussman: 9780262560993: Amazon.com: Books
- I like research. Programming tends to involve much googling and reading through documentation.
- I like experimenting. There's a large component of trial-and-error.
- I like writing poetry, which is very similar to programming. Both the poet and the programmer are obsessed with words, obsessed with formal rules, obsessed with seeing how far they can push those rules, and obsessed with expressiveness. Programmers often talk about how expressive a particular programming language is. They mean something very similar to what a poet means when he tries to come up with expressive wording.
Both poetry and code can be exquisitely beautiful -- and in very similar ways. People are often surprised that I'm a programmer who also directs Shakespeare plays, but I've met lots of programmers who are into Shakespeare, crossword puzzles, scrabble, and so on. Joshua Engel is another Quora user who writes code and directs Shakespeare plays.
- I like communicating. Most good programmers will tell you that code is first-and-foremost meant to be read by people -- even to the extent that we'll sometimes write it in a way that is inefficient but easy-to-read.
- "There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things." -- Phil Karlton. I love the hard work of "naming things." Programmers generally have to come up with short words or phrases that label parts of the systems they're writing. It's crucial that these names be clear and apt.
Why? Because if you name something cButton, the next guy who has to work on your code may be befuddled. If you'd called it closeButton, he would have instantly known what you were referring to. Sometimes "he" is me a few weeks (or a year) later, when I'm reading my own code. It's embarrassing to come across cButton and think, "What did I mean by that?"
Last week, I was modifying someone else's code. It was for as web page with sections. Each section had a logo at the top. The original programmer had referred to those logos internally as "headers," e.g. "header1" and "header2." I didn't notice that, and so I named something within one of the sections "header." When I later looked over the code, I got totally confused between his headers and mine.
Then I thought it over and realized that his "headers" were always graphical logos and mine were text. So I renamed his "logo1" and "logo2" and mine "title."
This is just one small example of the sort of naming issues that constantly crop up. You either enjoy this sort of thing or you don't. I do.
- I like learning. Like sharks, programmers die if they stop moving. Because technology changes so fast, being a programmer means that "school" never stops. Even though I've been coding for years, I must constantly read programming books, follow blogs, and so on. There's no coasting!
I got into the game as a Flash programmer, which was lucrative for about ten years. Now Flash seems to be on its way out, so it's back to the books! But even while I was mostly coding Actionscript (Flash's language), I needed constant training, because that language went through many versions, some as different from each other as Spanish is from Portuguese.
There are many good programming books and courses, but you can't really learn to code by instruction. That will get you started, but they only real way to learn is to write code, fail, analyse the failure, and learn from it. So you must enjoy being an autodidact. I do.
- I like being a detective. Maybe 60% of programming is debugging -- figuring out how something works. That often means a ton of sleuth work. Sometimes you have to pick and entire program apart and put it back together again.
- I like solitary work. Programming allows me to do lots of that.
- I like collaborating. Nowadays, Few programmers work completely alone. Most are part of a team, and they spend part of the week doing close work with others and part in isolation. I feel a strong need for both sorts of work, and I like alternating between the two.

So, there's been a really cool trend with Facebook that's been happening for a while called awesome-lists. They were started by sindresorhus. I decided recently that I wanted to start my own board, but with a Phoenix mindset. We're lucky enough to have a growing and thriving tech community centralized around az-webdevs and a really good slack community to boot! I was able to reach out to some of the old timers & organizers and we started this page. It's now a growing resource for finding out and staying in the know for stuff around the Phoenix area and tech.

Exclusive Interview: "Super Trash Clash" Author / Artist Edgar Camacho
December 1, 2022 December 1, 2022 Paul Semel 0 Comments Author Interview, Books, comic books, Edgar Camacho, Edgar Camacho Artist, Edgar Camacho Author, Edgar Camacho Blog, Edgar Camacho Books, Edgar Camacho Facebook, Edgar Camacho Goodreads, Edgar Camacho Instagram, Edgar Camacho Interview, Edgar Camacho Super Trash Clash, Edgar Camacho Super Trash Clash Interview, Edgar Camacho Twitter, Edgar Camacho Website, Edgar Camacho Wiki, Edgar Camacho Wikipedia, Edgar Camacho Writer, games, gaming, graphic novels, reading, Video Games
If you grew up playing video games, then you grew up with the frustration of some well-meaning relative buying you a terrible game you didn't want and not the one you did. But while that's also the indignity that Dul suffers in the graphic novel Super Trash Clash (paperback, Kindle), Clash writer and artist Edgar Camacho says in the following email interview that you need not be a frustrated gamer to understand, and enjoy, this heart-wrenching story.
I'd like to start with the story. What is Super Trash Clash about, and when and where does it take place?
The story is set in Mexico in the '90s. Dul, our protagonist is a girl who wants a video game for her birthday, the hottest video game at the time. Her mom, trying to please her, buys her a game, but it's not the one she wanted. It's one of the worst games in history: Super Trash Clash. So, Dul trades this game for the one she wanted all along, but then she regrets and tries to get it back. so, it's a story about growing up and the relationship we have with our parents.
Where did you get the idea for Super Trash Clash, what inspired it?
This story was inspired by a true event. I grew up in the '90s with my brothers, and we had a Super Nintendo with a couple of games. We had already played those games thousands of times, so we wanted a new one. I think we wanted Star Fox, with all the hype of 3D technology and the future of video games. My mom, instead of buying us that game, bought us a completely different one. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what we wanted, so we went and changed it for Star Fox. We didn't think of the effort she put into getting us that game, and to this day, it's something I'm not proud of.
You kind of just answered this, but is there a reason it's centered around a Super Nintendo game as opposed to an Atari 2600 game or a PlayStation 2 game? And did the fact that SNES games came on cartridges, not on discs, have anything to do with it?
It was the console I grew up with, and the console I played on with my brothers the most. And yes, the cartridge has its magic. Something that we all did, and that we did not know was wrong, was to blow the cartridge.
Did you ever consider making it about a game from another era? Like, say, an Atari 2600 game based on a movie about a loveable alien?
In the comic, the game Super Trash Clash is one of the worst games ever. It's a mix of lots of bad games like Dr. Jekill And Mr. Hyde (NES), Dark Castle (Genesis), Link: The Faces Of Evil (Phillips CD-i), and all the urban legends that came from E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (some part of which turned out to be true).
Also, is there any significance to the game being called Super Trash Clash, which, given the era it came out, implies that there was a previous game called Trash Clash?
I hadn't considered it that way, but I love the idea that there was a pre-game to this one. I liked the title Super Trash Clash because, at that time, the titles of the games used the word "super" or the number "64" of the Nintendo consoles as a way of branding. Something that they left behind with the GameCube. I would have loved to see a title like Gamecube Mario or a Star Fox GameCube.
Now, unless I'm mistaken, Super Trash Clash is your second graphic novel for Top Shelf after Onion Skin, though you've also written Summon's Alley and Acacia 22…
Indeed, it is my second comic with Top Shelf. I have other titles published in Mexico and in France.
So then, are there any writers, or specific stories — be it in prose novels or comics — that had a particularly big influence on Super Trash Clash but not on anything else you've written?
I'm a huge fan of Stephen King. I think that the way he deals with stories in a daily way and then suddenly gives a twist, is what has marked my way of making stories. Each of my stories has its origin in everyday life. I start from some personal experience and develop a story from that. Super Trash Clash is developed from my childhood story of trading a game I could never recover. And in Acacia 22, the comic's story stems from when I became independent and the difficulties I had when facing real life.
What about non-literary influences; was Super Trash Clash influenced by any movies or TV shows?
Of course. One of the main influences was the YouTube show Angry Video Game Nerd. I loved watching that show and learning about games that I had never played before. The way he expressed himself about them was hilarious to me.
Speaking of visual things, let's talk about the art. Who do you see as being the biggest influence on the way you drew Super Trash Clash?
Every comic I do has a different style. Onion Skin's style is very different from Super Trash Clash's. I wanted to tackle a more nostalgic color palette and a more cartoonish style. Gravity Falls and Andrew MacLean's Head Lopper influenced me a lot.
Did you ever consider illustrating this story with video game-looking visuals, like with an 8- or 16-bit graphics style?
It would have been interesting to see the art in the style of Super Nintendo graphics. But I think that in the end, it was not my intention with the story. I would have been distracted by the graphics and neglected the plot.
Hollywood has been big on movies about video game culture lately: Free Guy, Pixels, Ready Player One. Do you think Super Trash Clash could work as a movie, too?
It would be great to see a movie from this comic but not as a movie with a lot of effects and stuff. I imagine it more like a classic adventure retro movie, set in the '90s, about a mother's relationship with her daughter.
If someone wanted to make that movie, would you want it to be live action or animated, and who would you want to play Dul?
Either way, animation or live action, something interesting would remain. As for the voice cast, it could be the cast of Gravity Falls. I love how they sound (in English and Spanish). In live action, I imagined Paola Lara [Tigers Are Not Afraid], but because of the age range she no longer fits the character.
We've talked a lot, for obvious reasons, about Super Trash Clash and video games. But do you think someone who isn't into video games would enjoy this comic? And, more importantly, understand it?
I think so. Video games are not the main theme. Video games dress the story, but the main idea is the mother-daughter relationship, and knowing how to value what we have.
Conversely, what do you think a gamer will get out of Super Trash Clash that a non-gamer won't?
Gamers will get tons of references to video games and things from the era. That gives an extra flavor to the whole comic.
So, is there anything else you think people should know about Super Trash Clash?
Super Trash Clash is an endearing story, with a touch of adventure and lots of nostalgia. I hope you like it. Here in Mexico, the book was a finalist in a national Comic Contest in 2019, "Secuenciarte" from Pixelatl, but I didn't win. Then I made a limited author's edition, which came in a cardboard box (emulating a Super Nintendo game box) that included some stickers, instruction booklet and an expired promotion to win a kind of Nintendo 64 or Virtual Boy.
Finally, if someone enjoys Super Trash Clash, what graphic novel of someone else's that has a similar feeling about it would you recommend they check out?
I recommend a work by José García called My 8 Bit Story. I think you can read some pages online. I love the art, the use of color and the narrative. I recommend it for the art, the use of color and the narrative that has no dialogue.

Where is the steering? We are always reluctant to let go for fear of the UNKNOWN. Drivers have been on the roads with their vehicles ever since the first automotive rolled out off the assembly lines back in the 1900's. Ever since nothing has changes except the concept of a driver-less vehicle. Since the concept of both car and driver being together has been en-grained in our brains since that time, we are highly reluctant to part both car and the driver apart. Change is always hard and is filled with fear. But to make change, we must do away with fear and face reality to accomplish the task at hand. First of all today our roads are filled with drivers who are on the go doing their make up, smoking, talking on the phone, texting, brushing their teeth, sleeping, changing their clothes, putting on their tie, tying their shoe lace – all while driving. Too many errors and too many lives being lost on the roads due to driver errors.
If this is the case of conflict between those who share the road, what is the alternative solution/? The question we need to ask ourselves is : Would we want change or are willing to stick with what we currently have at hand? What do we fear change in the first place? Is it good or bad for us as a society? Would we want to be more modern with ZERO accidents? If that is the case, we must force ourselves to change or be wiling to accept change for the better of all mankind. Right now we have autonomous vehicles mixed in with Human traffic and Human controlled vehicles. This is also a perfect recipe for accidents. We are mixing the old technology with the old. We cannot have both and both should not mix. We need to have a separate lane for both old and new if we decide it to mix. Out with the old and bringing on the new would help prevent accidents, save lives and save time. Accident rates would be ZERO and traffic of life would be travelling smoothly.
Today we are deeply dependent on oil. This is THE problem that prevents us to make change. External forces do play a major role in decision making along with the major players in business and politics. Money and power does talk in the language of money. Each and every automobile that is produced today runs on oil or any type of fossil fuel. This is so outdated and old school.
Cars, truck and buses should be running in their own tracks using magnetic levitation from coast to coast or from country to country. Ships should be hovering over water and not floating on it.
Tires should be a thing of the past. Imagine the trillions of tires that are being dumped into our oceans and in our landfills each day.
New Propulsion systems must be in place to move things forward.
Ships and trucks do move giant containers across the globe round the clock and across various time zones. Why not automate the whole system using driver less containers and hovering ships that barely touch the ocean surface.
Cities should have a dedicated line for all autonomous vehicles and a separate one for the old school mode of transportation. Only when they mix do we have all the problems that we currently have such as accidents. Would we walk along on a rail road track or on an active expressway or right in the middle of an active runway?
Automate everything. Cars can talk to themselves. When they have a dedicated highway all for themselves, there would be no accidents, driver errors or the need for any trauma unit in hospitals. This would also eliminate the need for any insurance companies to exist and the need for auto body shops. The technology is here. The drawback is we are highly reluctant to embrace it without knowing all the facts.
Large automobiles must be streamlined like the Tuna or a Shark to reduce drag and turbulence.
Planes shouldn't be needing a runway (vertical take off and landing) that occupies a major portion of all open spaces. This is wasted space. The building itself consumes more energy in its operations. Planes should be equipped with fail safe parachutes that assist during emergency vertical landings and have under the belly airbags to help with flotation in the event of a water landing. It could land vertically after deploying the airbag that runs the entire stitch of the fuselage.
Owning a car would become outdated in the near future. Autonomous cars could be summoned to our doorstep with an app for our trip to the airport or to our place of work. We would also get to choose whether we need to travel solo or share a ride to the city. The current costs associated with car ownership would completely disappear.
Credit cards would also be a thing of the past. We could pay for on the go while on the go. The self driving vehicles would ask us for the destination. We would punch it in or select it. Then we could pay for it virtually directly from our Personal Digital Bank (PDB) at home or a safe house in no Mans land.
Delivery of fresh food can also take place fully automated based on our set schedule for delivery. This would be local produce that can help support local farmers. We may not have the need to have our food shipped from 5000 miles away by burning fossil fuels and having the associated costs with time, warehousing, logistics and other red tape.
Technology is here to stay and it is here at our doorsteps. It is up to us to refuse it or embrace it. We will soon find ourselves sitting in our cars reading a book, texting, or talking while driving all without a driver. We may also soon find ourselves travelling to other planets in driver less space vehicles too. This may all be new to us now but this was probably the same feeling that people had when people parted with their horse and buggy and embraced the first car. This was the same with an Aeroplane. Change is inevitable and the room to change is always open. Either we can accept it or reject it with a smile.

Rutgers-Camden Sends Largest Student Contingent at Eastern Sociological Society Meetings in Philadelphia
Sponsored by the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice, eighteen students attended sessions at the Eastern Sociological Society annual meeting in Philadelphia in early March. Six students attended the opening session celebrating thirty years of the General Social Survey and heard the Rutgers-Camden department singled out by session organizer Joanne Miller for its exemplary use of the GSS in undergraduate education. Over the next three days, eighteen Rutgers-Camden students sat in on a wide array of sessions. The Camden contingent was the largest student one at the ESS. Also at the meetings, Professor Wood gave a presentation, aimed particularly at non-tenured faculty, entitled Technology Payoffs for Teaching and Research.

Fall 2003 Preregistration News and Advice
Read this before you register!
Preregistration for the Fall Semester runs April 7th-25th. All students are strongly encouraged to see a departmental advisor in planning their spring schedule.Here are a few Fall 2003 preregistration tips (click here for the combined departmental fall schedule):
All Sociology and CJ majors should take Methods and Techniques of Social Research (920:301) in the Fall semester if they have not already taken it. This course is a prerequisite for a number of upper-level courses, and knowledge of MicroCase and the basics of data analysis are increasingly expected in all upper-level courses. The methods course also fulfills the second math requirement in the CCAS curriculum.
It is generally a good idea to focus on required courses first, leaving electives until later. Sociology majors should take Introduction to Cultural Anthropology as early along as possible.
We are trying to make some of our large classes smaller by offering multiple sections one semester a year. Two sections of both Criminal Justice in America and Methods and Techniques are being offered in the fall, with limits on class size.
Social Stratification is offered only in the spring semester each year. Sociological Theory is offered only in the fall. Students planning to graduate in May 2004 must take Sociological Theory in the fall semester.
The tentative Summer Schedule for courses in Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice is available online for Anthropology, for Criminal Justice, and for Sociology.
Co-sponsored with the Psychology Department, Sociology's Service Learningcourse on "Bridging the Digital Divide in Camden" will continue to combine a Wednesday late afternoon seminar with 5-6 hours of fieldwork at community centers and schools.
The Online Syllabi webpage at the departmental website contains links to more than forty course websites in the department, and offers a great way to explore course offerings for the Spring Semester.

Cati Coe
New Faculty Member Wins Intercultural Award
Assistant Professor Cati Coe has been selected to receive one of three Bildner Diversity Awards at the Camden Campus, which provide support for faculty members to develop or revise courses that address issues of intercultural interaction. As a campus "Intercultural Fellow," she will pursue her project, entitled "Representing Culture in Classrooms," which aims to give students a more sophisticated understanding of cultural practices, particularly in showing how culture is created, represented, and transformed as people seek to maintain or resist relations of power. To do so, she plans to incorporate her research on the government's promotion of cultural heritage in Ghana into three courses (Cultural Anthropology, Peoples and Cultures of Africa, and Sociology of Education); the research focuses on performances and school cultural competitions which can be visually presented and interpreted.

Matt Goodman '95
Spotlight on Alumni: Matthew Goodman (Sociology, '95) on the Appalachian Trail
It's hard to imagine a more unusual alumni story than Matt Goodman's. Graduating with a sociology degree in 1995, Matt started out as a personal trainer at a local gym and contemplated a book on the sociology of exercise and health. In November 1997, however, suffering from an array of severe symptoms, Matt was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Through a strict regimen of self-discipline, diet, and exercise, Matt has made a remarkable recovery both physically and spiritually, and has written a book on his technique and philosophy. In early April he began hiking from the southern terminus of the famous Appalachian Trail and expects to reach the northern terminus at Mt. Katahdin in Maine (2168 miles away) in early fall. His publicized walk, designed to give hope to others suffering from so-called "incurable" diseases, is being sponsored by the Multiple Sclerosis Association and a variety of other organizations and individuals. Updates on his progress will be posted at his website, Raw Power.

CJ Student Safari to South Africa with Prof. Meyer
During spring break, while many Rutgers-Camden students were lounging in Florida or other locations, Dr. Meyer and a delegation of 5 students flew eighteen hours to South Africa as part of an international study-tour in criminal justice and sociology. The group met with criminal justice officials and others, toured justice facilities, explored museums, visited townships, and learned a lot. At the conclusion of the trip, the group went on a safari, hunting Africa's beautiful and wondrous game with cameras. Dr. Meyer's summary of the trip: "Great! I can't wait until next year's…" Interested students should stay tuned… More trip details & pix

NEW THIS WEEK AT THE SHOP:
The musical and cultural force known as Blood Orange releases the next chapter in his beauteous discography this week. 'Negro Swan' is another epic, yet bittersweet exploration of identity, in a similar, if evolving vein as his last record, 'Freetown Sound', with Dev Hynes documenting the resistance of marginalized people through languid jazz-funk. The CD on this one is out today, with the vinyl version due in early October. Philadelphia shoegazers Nothing compress their riffy, emotional shoegaze into a potent sugarpill on 'Dance on the Blacktop', available on CD, LP, and extremely limited color vinyl. We've also got the fantastic new album from Chicago duo Ohmme, who mix the vocal polyphony of early Dirty Projectors with an agit-jazz feel ala Mecca Normal.
A genre unto themselves at this point, Autechre continue their entropic sound-generation into a 3rd decade with their first physical release in quite some time, the massive 'NTS Sessions'. Available as a big CD or LP box, or as individual LPs, this release is somehow more Autechre than you'd ever need, and still not enough. Fans of the maximal Ae sound of 'Tri Repetae' or more recently, 2013's 'Exai' will be thrilled with this one. Its Booth and Brown in brawling form; wrestling with tectonic plates of bass and rhythmic data.
NYC shambolic rock dons Interpol still have the knack for catchy guitar rock that sounds exhausted by its own genius on their latest album, 'Marauder'. Mac DeMarco digs into the vaults of his Cayman Islands estate for some 'Salad Days Demos'. Pianist and electronic composer Olafur Arnalds brings us a nice new one called 'Re:Member'.
We've got new releases from burlesque rockers Devotchka, a revived Alice in Chains, a new collaboration album from Mark Lanegan and Duke Garwood, and new records from Rubblebucket, Jesus Piece, and Liam & Neil Finn.
Haroumi Hosono. One of modern music's most inventive, multi-faceted, and productive artists has long seen his massive catalog languishing out of print, available in the West only at extremely high prices. After years of whispers and scores of reissues of contemporary Japanese wonders, we finally see the beginnings of a much-needed campaign celebrating some of his finest works. Before helping found the iconic Yellow Magic Orchestra, Hosono was active in psych, folk, pop and jazz scenes in 1970s Japan, and he brought all these influences and more to bear on his solo efforts, three of which are available now. 1978's 'Paraiso' is a mellow delight full of soft grooves, lightly psychy folk-pop comparable to what Harry Nilsson and Paul McCartney would do around the same time. 1982's 'Philharmony' is quite simply one of the most ingeniously conceived synth-pop albums on the planet, hooky yet cerebral. 1989's 'Omni Sight Seeing' finds Hosono far out with minimalist ambient and proto-IDM that retains a playful spirit. While the music on these three albums varies widely, one trait they share is Hosono's vision, which seems completely outside of time, trend, or influence. CDs and limited vinyl on these, with more titles coming in the future!
Your last chance to pick up one of the most beautiful albums ever made is here. Daniel Schmidt built a gamelan at the Center for World Music in Berkeley in 1975, and made several recordings of it thereafter, which were finally released on an LP two years ago called 'In My Arms, Many Flowers' that immediately went out of print. A small batch have been pressed up one final time, giving you a chance to hear some of the most poignant, resonant, and deeply emotional ambient music ever put to tape. Also back from the abyss is the perfect pairing of Spike and Debbie, two UK musicians who emerged from the early diaspora of the band Young Marble Giants, appearing on recordings by The Gist and Weekend. They collaborated under several names in the interim before leaving music behind, reuniting now for this collection of new and old recordings. Clever, dub-wise indie pop and neatly-pressed post-punk abounds on 'Always Sunshine, Always Rain', available on CD. The Left Ear label turns their knack for finding rare stunners to their home region, collecting nine amazing folk/ambient/dub/pop tracks from New Zealand and Australia on 'Antipodean Anomalies'.
Light in the Attic follow on their crucial This Heat reissues with some rarities from the band's catalog, only really available as rare CDs or in the out of print box set. 'Made Available' is, in this reporters opinion, the most unique document of the band that exists. Drawn from two Peel Sessions recorded in 1977, the trio treat the BBC studios as a laboratory. These songs, drawn mainly from their self-titled debut, have never sounded more alive, quivering, and bloody. 'Live 1980/81' sees the band with a bit more aggression and spluttering rage, pounding through the paranoid rants of their second album, 'Deceit'. 'Repeat/Metal' sees the group vaporizing into tape loop infinity, completely dehumanized until they are just...gone.
Some real smoking new jazz CDs are here this week. We have an eye-popping multi disc and book set from Wayne Shorter called 'Emanon', the anticipated solo album from session man Joey Dosik, a new experimental disc from bandleader Christopher Fox featuring Paul Lovens on HatHut, called 'Topophony', and a new CD from Steve Turre.
Chromeo's 'Head over Heels' finally gets an LP release. We've got a great new collection of synthy dub-pop from a Japanese artist called Videotapemusic, and fresh copies of Digable Planets' legendary 'Reachin' are back in the house on vinyl!
We've got a stunning new vinyl version of the soundtrack for the oughtiest Dreamcast game 'Shenmue'. A world-enveloping new 2CD set from CV313, better known as Echospace. Australian producer Cale Sexton makes his full-length debut with 'Melondrama', a bouncy album of instrumental funk verging on house, in the spirit of his fellow countryman, Tornado Wallace.
BACK-TO-SCHOOL STEREO GEAR SALE:
Sweet summer days, warm, long and lazy; we thought they'd never end. Well, we hate to break it to you, but Back-To-School season is just around the corner. We want to help soothe the ache of this transition, so we've got a sale going through August on all new and used equipment and gear in the shop.
Our full inventory of new and vintage turntables, receivers, speakers, and miscellaneous stereo components at the shop will be 15% OFF this month. Whether you need to upgrade a piece, want to completely re-do your whole rig, or maybe you're putting the finishing touches on a new apartment or dorm, now is the time!
And because you need something new to listen to, all gear purchases this month come with an unlimited 15% off coupon for new and used LPs (to be used on the same day).
USED CD ALERT:
Provided greater Dane County no longer looks like a hasty re-enactment of "Waterworld," here's the lowdown on the upfront used CD arrivals. We go back to roots this week with loosies from Nikki Lane, Shovels & Rope, Chris Stapleton, Ryan Bingham, Nathaniel Rateliff, Jason Isbell and the charmingly ramshackle debut of Wilco. Acid-damaged double-shots from the Meat Pups and the Flaming Lips (the mighty "Soft Bulletin"!) nestle alongside usual suspects like Pink Floyd, The Beatles and The Clash. Hip-hop gets represented this week from Oaktown legend Too $hort, the first Pete Rock and CL Smooth EP, Jurassic 5 and the kings, Run-DMC. Can't forget about jazz, especially with albums by Billy Cobham, Jeremy Pelt and Blue Notes from Louis Smith and Wayne Shorter. Run, walk, drive, swim, boat to get first crack at these on Friday. Watch this space for a whole new batch next week of the deepest and cleanest used CD selection.
USED VINYL ALERT:
Heading downstairs for this week's Used Vinyl Alert, we've got another lively spread for you this week!

OTHERS TALK BACK:
This isn't the spot to lay down odds on the third race. OTB is where Others Talk Back and give you the lowdown on what they've been feeling lately. This one's for the customers.
Oh Sees – "Smote Reverser" John Dwyer is a man of several bands. He has Thee Oh Sees. The OCS, The Oh Sees and of course Oh Sees. The difference between the similar named bands escapes me at times. All I know is that they deal with permutations of sixties psychedelica. "Smote Reverser" is probably the "heaviest" album that he has released. And I mean heavy in the late sixties and early seventies sense of the word. At times it makes Black Sabbath look tame. And Mr. Dwyer has added an unexpected instrument to the mix. There is a masterful Hammond B3 organ player on the album. And the forceful tones of the Hammond makes the music much heavier sonically. "Smote Reverser" is without any doubt the best heavy psych album that will be released this year.
Great Lake Swimmers – "The Waves, The Wakes" This Canadian band has released six albums of thoughtful melancholia since 2003. And their seventh, "The Waves, The Wakes," is one of the best albums that the band has ever released. This is perfect music for this time of year. The time when sunshine turns to rain, and the slow turning of the leaves can take your breath away. It is also the time of year when your thoughts turn inward and you start to take stock of what you did this summer. The Great Lake Swimmers lyrical themes are very personal, but at times very universal. If you loved classic Cure and Echo and The Bunnymen then the Great Lake Swimmers are your kind of band. They just take a slightly different take on that kind of music. You could even call it a Canadian melancholia. If that term makes sense.

Helena Rubinstein (născută Chaja Rubinstein la 25 decembrie 1870 - d. 1 aprilie 1965) a fost o femeie de afaceri americană de origine polonă și de etnie ebraică.
A fost fondatoarea companiei de succes Helena Rubinstein, Incorporated, prin care a devenit una dintre cele mai bogate femei din lume.

După izbucnirea Primului Război Mondial, s-a mutat cu soțul în New York, unde în 1915 deschide un salon de cosmetică.
Înregistrează un succes rapid, astfel că în 1928 ajunge să-și vândă afacerile către Lehman Brothers cu 7,3 milioane de dolari (echivalentul a 88 de milioane de dolari la nivelul anului 2007).

În 1973, compania Helena Rubinstein, Inc. a fost vândută către Colgate-Palmolive, iar acum aceasta se află în posesia grupului L'Oréal.

Judith: How did you find yourself on MLP?
Roger: I'm an engineer by background and after university I trained as an accountant with PWC. But I always knew that I wanted to work in pharmaceuticals and, ultimately, in manufacturing and leadership. My first job after PWC was in finance with AstraZeneca. When an opportunity to join Glaxo Wellcome came up, working in respiratory products, I jumped at it. I was still in finance but I loved being on a manufacturing site. I joined my first leadership team looking after a value stream, overseeing the supply and development of product and the continuous improvement associated with that. When Glaxo Wellcome merged with SmithKline Beecham I moved to a central role, working on the network design that would bring the two manufacturing operations together. After that I moved to Cork, to be the finance director of our facility there. At that stage I was still hoping to move into manufacturing strategy but I didn't know when or how. Then my boss told me that GSK used the MLP to give some emerging talents a different experience and to accelerate their careers and he suggested that it might be right for me.
It was exactly the right intervention at exactly the right time. It gave me both the content and confidence that I could make the transition from financial to organisational and strategic leadership. The minute I met the other people in the cohort I knew it was going to be great. The breadth of knowledge and experience in the room was very impressive.
What do you think are the most important things you took away from MLP?
When I look back at the course and think about what really made a difference, it was that blend of very practical knowledge of manufacturing combined with thinking about your own leadership style and approach. It was also very practical and relevant. Every project we worked on I was able to take back and apply in the factory.
Perhaps the most important thing it taught me was that everyone has the same issues as you and therefore someone will probably have already come up with the answers. You didn't always have to re-invent the wheel. I often ask today's emerging talent what 'learn before' they have done. By this I mean have they researched the problem, seen how other people have tried to solve it or have they dived straight in with a big-company mind-set, thinking that it has to be 'invented here'?
The other big takeaway was that you have got to 'go see'.
Where did you 'go see' on MLP?
China. In 2005 we visited some incredibly large facilities, some that were very small, some that were fully state-owned and some which were partially state-owned. Seeing first-hand the rate of growth, the scale of it and some of the challenges of operating in China was eye-opening. I was blown away both by the calibre of the people we met – incredibly articulate, highly professional people with US MBAs – and by the scale of the operations. It seemed to me that if you were in China for low cost you were in China for the wrong reasons. You had to be there for the commercial opportunity.
We also visited a lot of UK factories. We learned to make an assessment of a facility quite quickly, using the things we were learning in the modules but also the experience of the other students. Automotive people, for example, looked at things like safety performance while pharma people were concerned with the quality system. Combining these different perspectives meant the companies we visited received really useful input from us and we benefited enormously from seeing the differences in how we all worked.
I introduced a production system at GSK based on much of the content that we talked about in Cambridge. One of our core tools is what the Japanese call Gemba – 'go see' – and my first experience of applying that approach was on those factory visits.
Then there was the leadership stuff. This introduced me to the idea of 'leadership muscles', the elements in your leadership style that you should apply each day: how to motivate, analyse and develop people and how to create energy.
Another big learning I had was the strategic importance of manufacturing. Until that point I thought about manufacturing as the process of creating an output. But I was challenged to think about how you can you use manufacturing competence to differentiate yourself from the competition through strategic offerings such as quality, agility and cost competitiveness. These are all elements of manufacturing strategy where you have to make balanced decisions. A big part of the programme was thinking about these trade-offs and I still apply that learning today when setting our strategic goals.
How much does the manufacturing strategy connect across broader functional areas within GSK?
You have to be more connected now, particularly in the new product introduction space. You can't have any waste in your system. You need to take your commercial opportunity through to new product launch as quickly and efficiently as you can. Within the pharmaceutical sector there are certain challenges you have to overcome and manage – getting a product that is absolutely safe, that has been proven through clinical trials, that meets regulators' expectations – all these are critical. But I also run our consumer manufacturing which has a faster innovation cycle. You need aligned commercial and supply teams and you also need geographic co-location to ensure that the idea sparked at the coffee machine can become a proposal and then reality in as short a time as possible. We have worked very hard to get exactly that synergy, to have a production person, a procurement person, a commercial person, a regulatory person, all sitting together thinking about the same product rather than dipping in through different processes at different times.
In our facilities in Ireland, the UK and Singapore we have co-located R&D and manufacturing to work together. We run some models where a product is developed in R&D and the chemists and engineers who have worked on it move with it through industrialisation and scale. I believe this approach lowers the risks associated with technical transfer, scale up and launch. The organisational lines have to be drawn somewhere: you have to have something called R&D and you have to have something called manufacturing. How you operate at that boundary determines the competitiveness of your organisation.
Another area we worked on in MLP was technology roadmapping with Rob Phaal. In pharmaceuticals we still have some way to go to make medicines more affordable and more accessible across the world. We used a technology roadmap to set a vision of how we want to take pharmaceutical manufacturing to another level. The beauty of the technology roadmap is alignment. There is no point in this being a single team's goal. It has to be the organisation's vision. You need the people who run the facilities, the people who develop your products, the people who procure your materials, the technical people who maintain your product always thinking about the goal together. Some people think of a roadmap as just a communication tool but I see it as a strategic intervention. It surfaces alignment. It forces people to ask themselves what they are trying to achieve.
If you were doing the course now – a decade further on with all the changes we see in the manufacturing landscape – what differences do you think would need to be made?
On the strategic side I would focus as much on the implementation as on the strategic development. Great strategies are only great when they have been implemented. In the real world 10,000 other things in the day job distract from the implementation. So I would want to think about what is the right operating model to drive execution? How do you ensure that what you say is the strategy is actually what's happening on the ground? How do you check and adjust? MLP covered some of this but I think that we – and by 'we' I mean manufacturing as a whole – need to be better at doing what we say we are going to do. The other thing is that not all strategy can be written three years in advance. That it's ok for strategy to emerge is a big insight for many people. They feel that if they are not executing what's on the milestone plan they are not doing their job.
Particularly in this changing environment, you've got to have a strategic direction but you've got to be able to flex.
In the real world, real things happen so how do you make sure that organisations are properly prioritised and resourced? I would love to discuss how teams prioritise and stay focused on the mission and their critical goals. The other big issue that wasn't part of the course is the digital age and its impact on manufacturing.
That is the big topic coming at us from all directions.
What does it mean for technology in the future? What does it mean for customer insight? What does it mean for the factory now? And we have to learn this.
New industries and also new, different models of value creation and capture. Is there a future in which you will be connected to the end-consumer as well as the doctors? And where bespoke prescriptions can be 'printed' on site at the pharmacy?
New manufacturing techniques will change the way the whole healthcare sector operates. Anyone who wants to lead in this environment now needs a new set of skills. You have to get that inspiration from the next generation and from new industries that didn't exist ten years ago. If you try to solve it yourself it will take you too long.
Those are some of the things I would want to see in MLP if I were doing it now. But at the time, the programme was exactly right for me. It had been so well thought through – the operational aspects of manufacturing, the strategic aspects and the leadership – and then going out to see it in practice. There were only 12 of us on the course so we did get to know each other really well. We still talk to each other and look to share best practice. I can't help smiling when I think back because although we worked incredibly hard it was such great fun.
The Manufacturing Leaders Programme ran between 1997-2007. It comprised four three-week modules run over a two-year perior, culminatiing in a dissertation and the award of a Masters in Manufacturing Leadership. It was aimed at talented mid-career engineers and technologists who had the potential to move into more strategic roles in industry. If you are interested in developing your manufacturing leaders today, contact Judith Shawcross, Head IfM Executive and Professional Development.
