The Masked Man of Boomtown Talks Revolution
9 August 18 interview: Bridie Squires
Boomtown Fair – the immersive festival that tells the story of a grapple between revolutionaries and the establishment – has kicked off in Matterley Bowl, Hampshire. We grabbed the regime-toppling Masked Man for a chat as the tenth chapter kicks off good and proper...

Thanks for taking the time out to talk to us. What have you been up to today?
Polishing my goggles, recharging my batteries, that kind of thing.
Can you tell us where you get your revolutionary inspiration from?
Unfortunately there is no shortage of inspiration in a world gone insane and on the brink of catastrophe; look around you, do you not see? We are being so cunningly distracted after all. The veil is thin, the facade barely visible anymore, as the elite few dominate and exploit the lives of the disenfranchised many.
Last year, you toppled Comrade Jose's regime. Can you describe how it felt to see the 'Town descend into chaos following your actions? Did you feel a sense of responsibility for the populace?
I did not witness the descent of the City into chaos, though had I been able to I would still not have taken the reigns of power, only to be corrupted as those before me. The people must realise they must be responsible for themselves, and each other. The time of leaders and political parties is over. Now it is time to build a new kind of society, to take the power back from the hands of the few, and into the hearts and minds of the many.
Sector 6 injected the people with rebellion. Was there anything in particular about the occupation that you found particularly mischievous last year? And what disobedience is afoot this year?
To occupy and disrupt the activation of a nuclear power facility is a noble and honourable action in times of such environmental peril. We need to find new ways to harness resources that do not endanger our very existence, along with every other species we share the world with.
The new power at play, Bang Hai Corporation, has a challenger in the form of an unknown hacker cell. Do you have any involvement with the organisation?
I am no one's master and no one's slave. The forces of darkness will stop at nothing to protect their interests and destroy any opposition, so it was only natural the challenge would come from underground sources. Who knows even if it is one organisation? It could even be they you are speaking to right now!
Looking back to early dream of Nickolas Boom, how can we preserve the vision of Boomtown with vulturous meddlers afoot? Can you ever see a day that we return to those humble beginnings?
The past is the past, there can be no going back. All we have is now, and now is the time for action; the future is, however, unwritten! The people must dream new dreams – their own dreams – and create a shared vision for the future, if there is to be any hope.
You've been a vital cog in the machine battling against town propaganda. Are there any other townspeople you've been working alongside to ensure this important work is carried out?
Our people are everywhere! Nameless, faceless, we walk among you. Where you may see one of us, you do not see the thousands who stand beside us, who walk behind us. We will never surrender!
Where's your favourite part of the 'town to hang out, besides Sector 6?
Old Town has always stood proud and true to the dream. Its people have always resisted and never given in to the corruption of governments, dictatorships or corporations. But I like to walk where none would expect me, to hide in plain sight, so this year we will infiltrate the luxurious sprawling boulevards of Paradise Heights and swarm in the hustle and bustle of Metropolis.
There are riches to be enjoyed within the town, and this year there's been the development of the Boomtown Springs area. Can you tell us about who's living in the mansion up there? Are you, or will you ever be, tempted to dip a toe in the pool of luxury in exchange for freedom?
The créme de la créme of Bang Hai Industries inhabit this gated community, and rumour has it the CEO himself will even be hosting pool parties at his mansion. It's good they will be distracting themselves lapping up all that luxury, as we will also be busy while the fat cats bask away. The luxury you talk of is an empty vacuous affair for the most part, a fire that never says enough, a hunger for more that can never be satisfied and it is as one of our wealthier supporters once said: "Do you not know the doors of power are only shut so tightly, because there is so little going on behind them?!"
Was there anything else you wanted to say to LeftLion readers?
Question authority, don't be distracted and remember, this world belongs to us, all of us, don't let the greed heads steal our future! See you in the fray!

Monotheism At Thirty Thousand Feet
By Andrew Boyd • May 2020
Which is it: Is man one of God's blunders, or is God one of man's blunders?
Ever since leaving New York, I'd been heading west. That's the thing about traveling around the world: you keep going in one direction until you miraculously return to where you began. No big deal in the age of commercial air travel, but in my own mind a mythic crossing. And now the circle was almost complete.
The skies over Delhi were clear and blue. My plane banked north, then headed west — like all the other planes I'd been on these last months. Below me half a world passed by. Mountains and deserts appeared through breaks in the clouds, giving way after nightfall to the webbed lights of unnamed cities.
Heading for a connecting flight in Bahrain, I was currently pointed nearly due-Mecca. Running out of time and money, I wasn't going to stop in Mecca, or in Jerusalem, as I'd dreamed of doing when I'd first planned this round-the-world trip. I wasn't going to hear the prayer calls echoing off the ruins of the Holy Land. But I would do what I could: listen to the prayer calls while I flew over the Holy Land. I'd picked up a Discman knockoff in Delhi (this was 2005, after all) and slipped in a CD I'd bought at a mosque-museum in Kuala Lumpur. As my seatmate slept, my brain surrendered to the Quranic verses. I asked for an extra cup of coffee and cracked open Karen Armstrong's A History of God. If this was as close as I was going to get to the Middle East and the birthing ground of monotheism, I was going to make the most of it.
There was a great glow of light to the north. Was that Baghdad? No, too far. But I imagined I could see it: the capital of the Islamic Golden Age ten centuries ago, now occupied by hapless GIs sent over by a witless fundamentalist on a misbegotten crusade. The city's citizens, stirred up by this alien army, were butchering each other on and off, Sunni versus Shiite, blowing up each other's mosques in the latest chapter of a 1,400-year-long dispute that started with an argument about whether Mohammed's cousin was the fourth caliph or the first imam.
The call to prayer on my ill-fitting earbuds felt ancient, haunting, almost scarily spacious. How could one of the most beautiful sounds on earth become a call to such mayhem? Alongside the beauty and reverence, why must there also be this tribalism? Isn't the ineffable mystery of existence enough? Doesn't each life already have enough heartbreak and miracles? We are all going to die; the oblivion of eternity awaits us. I didn't need to know more than that to appreciate these haunting chords, sailing along thirty thousand feet above the deserts that spawned them.
What was it about the desert? So many ancient revelations — too many to count — had happened there. Ecologist Paul Shepard suggests why: "The desert," he writes, is "sensorially austere, aesthetically abstract, historically inimical. . . . The mind is beset by light and space. . . . The desert sky is encircling, majestic, terrible. . . . To the desert go prophets and hermits; through deserts go pilgrims and exiles . . . not to escape but to find reality."
Had Mohammed and Jesus and the early Jewish prophets found reality? On the night of his first revelation, Mohammed had been torn from his sleep not by a pretty angel but, as Karen Armstrong describes it, by "an overwhelming ubiquitous presence from which escape was impossible." He had the "overpowering apprehension of a numinous reality, what the Hebrew prophets had called kaddosh, holiness, the terrifying otherness of God." This sounded strikingly similar to the terrifying mystical onslaughts I'd had at twenty-one. My visions had stopped coming, but Mohammed's had continued for twenty-three years, and each time it had felt like his "soul was being torn away." Thus did he receive the Quran. Was it the unerring word of God? The perfect syllables of Arabic being sung into my ears said, Oh, yes, but the English translation on the page — "Those that deny Our revelation We will burn in fire"; "God will humiliate the transgressors and mete out to them a grievous punishment for their scheming" — not so much. Why would a God worthy of our reverence say such things?
Centuries earlier, in a neighboring desert, Jesus had fasted for forty days and nights. Like Buddha under the bodhi tree, he'd done battle with temptation and conquered his ego, then come forth to preach the gospel. And long before either of these prophets, the Jewish people, tenaciously hanging on through many centuries of exile and desert wandering, had clawed their way to a momentously novel idea: monotheism. And now here I was flying over all of it in a single evening.
I was heading home. My budget had no more give, and I'd promised my mom I'd be back by mid-April, in time for her next hip-replacement operation. And so I'd reluctantly written the Holy Land out of my itinerary. But maybe there was a deeper reason I was bypassing the homeland of my ancestral faiths — a fear, perhaps, of directly confronting those legacies? The homelands of Buddhism and Hinduism I had traipsed through as a tourist, a dabbler. Judaism and Christianity, on the other hand, came with an uneasy feeling of accountability.
The Jews claimed to be the chosen people, and by blood or history or temperament I was one of them — though I didn't remember ever having made the decision to join. When my classmates at the 80 percent–Jewish prep school I'd attended in my teens had learned of my "chosen" birth, they'd laid claim to me in a strange, almost desperate, way. I had no say in the matter, they told me: my mom was Jewish, so I was Jewish, mixed parentage and self-determination be damned. To me it felt arbitrary, tribal, and so wrong that I didn't begin to come to terms with my Jewish roots until years later, and then only through selective and ironic reworkings of the traditions that allowed me to keep some distance. A friend and I co-led Passover seders with readings from Franz Kafka's parables, testimonies of dispossessed Palestinian children, and a retelling of the Exodus myth by the famous peace and labor activist A.J. Muste, in which Moses is the organizer of "Brickmakers' Union Number One." Yom Kippur I approached more traditionally, wearing my grandfather's prayer shawl and lighting candles for my brother and father. During the long, singsongy prayers, rather than try to follow along with the Hebrew words I didn't know, I'd give myself over to the rhythmic, back-and-forth davening of the congregation. It felt ancient and grave and somehow a part of me. Maybe my dad had felt the same way when he'd cried during his childhood Presbyterian hymns.
Yet, no matter how engaging the rituals, no matter how "reformed" or "reconstructed" the text, when I davened along with Baruch atah Adonai eloheinu, Melech ha'olam ("Blessed are you, God, ruler of the universe"), it was a lie. Others, who took those same words to be literally true, used them to justify heinous crimes in the pursuit of the biblical prophecy of a Greater Israel. Jewish fundamentalism, dangerously pressed up against its fatalistic Islamic twin, had made a minefield of a Middle East still shattered by colonialism. With nukes in the picture (and apocalypse-obsessed Christian fundamentalists egging on the conflict from the U.S.), this madness might yet start a new world war. Rather than delivering us to heaven, monotheism seemed far more likely to send us all to hell.
Below me the world turned slowly through the night, unaware of the multilayered geopolitics my coffee-jangled brain was imposing upon it. I could find reasons to forgive Judaism and Islam their present-day sins. Christianity was another matter. Fairly or unfairly, from early on it was Christianity that had inspired my distrust of organized religion. From kindergarten through second grade, my parents — their atheism trumped by pragmatism — had sent me to a parochial school, complete with blue-and-white uniforms and Episcopalian rigor. It was a good school, its classroom teachings secular for the most part. On Wednesdays, however, the whole lower school would head to the chapel and descend into what, even at that age, felt to me like mass psychosis. "Our Father, who art in Heaven," we droned, "hallowed be Thy name . . . ," the automatic "Amens" reverberating through the church like a soft Sieg heil. This bad impression was later compounded by televangelists' 1980s "culture war" on reason, science, tolerance, sexual freedom, and general common sense. So toxic, venal, and clownlike were American Christianity's most vocal purveyors that I couldn't take any of it seriously, except as a threat. It took years — far past the point when I actually knew better — for me to realize that my reflexive rejection of everything Christian wasn't just the Church's loss but mine as well. Slowly, haltingly, I came to accept that somewhere in that vast ocean of toxic bathwater was a beautiful baby Jesus. Shame to throw it all out together.
It came almost as a shock to realize I didn't have to declare myself an atheist just because 50 million Americans thought God literally made the world in six days. I could approach the Bible stories, to use Armstrong's words, as "symbols of a more elusive truth." I could rethink original sin as "the human propensity to fuck things up," as English author Francis Spufford puts it. I could try to understand Jesus not as the literal son of God, but as a healer and preacher who stressed his own weak, mortal humanity. Looking through the lens of comparative religion, I could see Jesus as a Jewish bodhisattva — a spiritually gifted hero who was willing to put off his own enlightenment for the sake of others. And through the lens of Latin American liberation theology, I could make common cause with him as a revolutionary and champion of the downtrodden, enjoining us not just to care for the poor, but to ask why the poor are poor.
The plane made its connection in Bahrain in the dead of night — all efficiency and glass and fluorescent lights — and we were soon in the air again. Jacked on coffee, I'd knocked back several thousand years of Armstrong's four-thousand-year history of monotheism and was still going strong. We sailed over the Saudi interior, then Jordan. We'd soon be to the Mediterranean. Jerusalem would be under that cloud cover, a slight glow to the southwest, and I thought: If I could imagine coming around on original sin, what else? The page open in my lap chimed in with surprising matter-of-factness: "By faith, of course, [Jesus] did not mean adopting the correct theology, but cultivating an inner attitude of surrender and openness to God." The thirteenth-century mystic and Dominican monk Meister Eckhart believed that "the eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me." Another unusual Christian, the nineteenth-century Danish existentialist Søren Kierkegaard, understood that "prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays." If we were talking about that faith, and that God, and that prayer, then maybe, just maybe, I could almost-nearly-not-quite become some sort of Christian.
All religions, in the words of religion scholar Huston Smith, have an esoteric kernel wrapped in a doctrinal shell. The shell may be different for each religion, but the kernel is the same. Maybe I'd gravitated toward Buddhism in my youth because I'd read a book called Dharma Bums instead of Sharia Bums or Gospel Bums or Torah Bums. Or maybe I was just temperamentally attuned to Buddhism because of its empiricism, or simply because it was from someplace else and didn't have a headlock on my fellow Americans' ability to reason: it wasn't muscling its way into the corridors of power to tell me what I could and couldn't do. Each religion seems to have found a unique way to send its enemies into the howling fires of hell while ruining its own followers' sex lives. But, ultimately, the living, breathing heart of every religion — including my own jerry-rigged outlook — is a humbling reverence before the ineffable mystery of existence. And the message of love that flows from that foundational experience is universal.
Andrew Boyd
Andrew Boyd's "Monotheism at Thirty Thousand Feet" made me think of my own spiritual journey, from growing up in a Roman Catholic family to my current "new age" beliefs about the universe. One quote, which I read many years ago, has guided me through this process: "All religions contain some truth, but no religion contains all the truth." Amen to that!
Carol A. Truesdale St. Louis, Missouri
The last two sentences of Andrew Boyd's essay "Monotheism at Thirty Thousand Feet" [May 2020] form the simple, elegant description of faith I've been seeking my entire life: "Ultimately, the living, breathing heart of every religion — including my own jerry-rigged outlook — is a humbling reverence before the ineffable mystery of existence. And the message of love that flows from that foundational experience is universal."

Can art bridge cultures? Does it contribute to civil conversation, to challenging conversation, or both? Does art necessarily contain a political message? Join us for a discussion on these topics and how the exhibition, Freedom: Art as the Messenger, addresses these important and timely issues.


As ex-Editor of both National Geographic Traveller's The Spa Collection and Spa Secrets magazine, I'm a real fan of the spa concept. But while its all very nice to don a fluffy robe and waft around a warm, watery space until its time for your massage, in a modern world ruled by social media, the spa concept has never been more relevant – the need to switch off and relax never more necessary.
Nobody knows this better than the hotel market – no hotel worth its salt would open these days without a decent spa. Whether they're big, small, located in a hotel or part of a beauty salon, the concept is the same: to chuck your Smartphone in a locker and be off line for an hour or two.
So, when invited to review Imagine Spa at Blofield Heath, I jumped at the chance. And as afternoons at work go, I've got to admit, it was extremely pleasant.
Despite being just a 20-minute drive from Norwich, Imagine Spa is part of Willow Farm so expect lush countryside and horses grazing in the distance. Drive up the gravel driveway and park your car just outside the modern building, with its glass cube extension housing the thermal facilities. So far, so spa.
As day spas go, this one is definitely petite, but don't let that put you off: it's got absolutely everything you need for a day of pampering (and more) with some really nice ideas. Inside is modern and cosy with a palette of chocolate and creams punctuated with purple and turquoise; we loved the statement ceiling light in the reception, cleverly resembling falling water.
We began our spa afternoon in the modern changing rooms, swapping our clothes for swimwear, white robes and slippers before sitting in the pre-treatment room to fill out consultation forms and enjoy a welcome drink.
While we sensibly chose tea and coffee, we spotted two couples and a group of three girls all unashamedly tucking into glasses of Prosecco at 1pm. Why do spas offer alcohol, you might wonder? Well, spas are just as much about pampering as they are about relaxing. And we're all for it.
The thermal facilities at Imagine Spa Willow Farm are light and modern, with large windows letting light flood in.
We de-robed and hopped into the mineral salt grotto, pushing the button on the way in to allow hot, salty steam to fill the room. I've been in a lot of steam rooms in my time and am often disappointed: too small, too 'musty' or not steamy enough. This large, mosaic-tiled room filled up with steam quickly and was deliciously hot; so hot, in fact, we had to leave after five minutes. Top marks.
Grab handfuls of crushed ice from the smart ice fountain afterwards and quickly rub it on your hot limbs for an instant cooling effect, or head to the experience showers and drench yourself in cool water.
We spent longer in the aroma steam room with its cooler temperature and subtle scent of lavender and rose. Despite the spa being pretty busy for a Wednesday afternoon, we had each room we visited to ourselves.
This was also true of the blue mosaic-tiled, circular hydro-pool with its heated seats and bubbly jets, perfect for pummelling away at tired muscles in your back.
Here, too, is a serial mud therapy room for pre-booked treatments – grab a partner, a handful of mud and cake yourself in the creamy mixture until it hardens, washing it off with the shower head provided. We didn't try this but I can tell you from previous experience that your skin feels instantly soft afterwards.
Back near reception, you'll also find a manicure/pedicure salon and, near the changing rooms, a low-lit post-treatment relaxation room with lie-flat beds, a faux fire, magazines, water and turquoise accents.
A real highlight of Imagine Spa at Willow Farm is its spa garden – compact and bijou spas rarely have outdoor space, let alone all this one has to offer. Head out the door from the hydro-pool and take it all in. There are lie-flat loungers laden with bright green cushions, perfect for a cheeky spot of sunbathing; a reed pond; rattan chairs and tables where you can take afternoon tea; and two heated wooden pods containing large beds, jewel-coloured cushions and flowing curtains. Grab a magazine, order a piece of cake and relax. Genius.
Nip around the back of the pods for the spa's sensory garden, filled with wild flowers, water features, seats and a border of edible plants (raspberry anyone?). Stay long enough and you'll see several butterflies and hear birdsong. It's a charming addition.
Imagine Spa at Willow Farm has several treatment rooms, including one double and a room containing a dry flotation bed – 'floating' (wet or dry) is something that the celebs are going mad for these days. Check it out.
Despite having completely different treatments (me a facial; my friend Henry a hot stone massage), we were greeted by two charming ladies and taken through to the double treatment room, which was spacious and cosy. When treating guests side-by-side, it's all about harmonising the timing so as not to disturb one or the other – this is usually done with identical treatments though, so I was curious to see if this would work.
My therapist, Grace, asked me to lie face-up on the warm bed so that she could perform my facial using Barbor products (a nice change from Elemis or Decleor which tend to dominate the spa market). Grace began by cleansing my face with a Hy-Oil, a plant-based hydrophilic cleansing oil designed to deeply cleanse the skin, before massaging in a gentle exfoliator to slosh away dead skin cells.
On the other side of the room, Henry – a newbie to the spa treatment world – asked if the hot stones were on his skin (they were); his therapist is clearly very skilled.
Next up for me: a vitalising mask to quench my dehydrated skin. As this set, Grace performed a wonderful face, head and scalp massage that could have gone on all day in my opinion. My fantastic facial ended with eye cream, moisturiser and SPF protection, leaving me feeling refreshed and revitalised.
Henry, however, was so relaxed after his first ever – and amazing (his words, not mine) – hot stone massage he could hardly get up off the treatment bed. The promise of afternoon tea did the trick though.
If fizz is the indulgent drink of choice at a spa, then afternoon tea is the food – particularly magical when they come together. Our 4pm afternoon tea was served in the comfort of a heated garden pod, where, once settled, two therapists and the chef himself kindly traipsed everything across for us, including vintage plates, cups and saucers.
The new and improved afternoon tea includes finger sandwiches on brown and white bread (we tucked into fillings of chicken ceasar salad, beef with horseradish mayo, saffron egg mayonnaise with mustard cress and honey roasted ham with apple chutney), a mini scone packed with jam and cream, vanilla Panna cotta, homemade shortbread, fruit cake, vanilla sponge topped with strawberries, a pot of English Breakfast tea and a glass of Adnams Fizz. Everything was dainty and beautifully presented; the shortbread crumbly and buttery, the Panna cotta rich and creamy.
Magazines read, horoscopes mused over, stomachs full and, in my case, face plump and dewy, it was time to go back to reality, but not without one last cheeky look at the comprehensive treatment menu to see what I might have next: I'm thinking the VOYA peppermint and Seaweed Scrub. And you?
Prices: This is a good value spa with a range of 15, 30 or 60-minute treatments on offer, starting at £20.
The treatments: There's a good choice considering the size of the spa – choose from a range of massages (including hot stones and lava shells), facials, scrubs, manicures, pedicures, spray tans and waxes.
Opening times: 9am until 5pm Mon, Tue, Sat, Sun; 9am until 9pm Wed, Thur, Fri.
What to bring: Just your swimwear – there's shampoo and conditioner in the showers; towels, robes and slippers are provided, and lockers are key operated.


Sieve flour and mix together all dry ingredients. Rub in margarine and mix to a soft dough with milk. Roll out and cut into rounds or shape into two rounds, flatten out with palm of hand and cut into four, making small triangular scones. Place on a greased and floured baking tin and brush over with egg or milk. Vary by adding sultanas to the above ingredients. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.

Хольстентор, Хольштентор, Холстентор ( [Хольстентор]  — «Голштейнские ворота») — средневековые городские ворота Любека в северо-западной стороне внутреннего города, получили название по исторической местности Голштиния, в которую ведёт дорога, проходящая через ворота. Памятник северо-европейского архитектурного стиля «кирпичная готика». Исторический символ города, Ганзы и архитектурного ландшафта всей Северной Германии. Объект Всемирного культурного наследия ЮНЕСКО.

Ворота входили в систему крепостных городских укреплений Любека — крупнейшего центра Ганзы. До сноса крепости в 1864 году весь комплекс ворот представлял собой каскад из четырёх, расположенных одно за другим, самостоятельных оборонительных сооружений (см. рисунок 1700 года). Ворота являлись центральным звеном в системе опоясывавших историческое ядро Любека по обоим берегам рек Траве и  стен, башен, земляных валов, капониров и каналов, в северо-западной части крепости, наиболее уязвимой для нападений со стороны голштинских герцогств и Датского королевства.

Сохранившиеся на сегодня Голштинские ворота состоят из двух башен, северной и южной, и соединяющего их центрального пролёта. Башни сложены из ярусов красного и чёрного глазурованного кирпича, окна представляют собой бойницы.

Первый этаж в центральной части ворот отсутствует, так как тут находится проход через ворота. Строение имеет пять этажей, первый этаж соединяет башни между собой. С внутренней (городской) стороны башни выглядят как единое целое, а с внешней (полевой) стороны они выступают, и расстояние между ними достигает 3,5 м. Башни примечательны своими конусообразными крышами, а средний пролёт украшен фронтоном.

С 1950 года в Голштинских воротах размещается музей истории города. Площадь-парк перед воротами иногда используется городскими властями для проведения культурных или зрелищных представлений, концертов. Ворота остаются всегда открытыми для прохожих. Средневековая надпись золотыми буквами на фронтоне с внешней стороны ворот гласит: «Concordia Domi Foris Pax» ().

Our project and our 1st meeting were presented in each partner school Web site and also in the local press in some partners' hometowns.
The official Web page of our project (http://eduliving.eu) was created by Greece.
Potential dropout students in partner schools were identified and the main reasons of dropout were analyzed.
Surveys to students on dropout in each partner school were conducted.
New approaches, experiences and strategies to reduce the number of early school leaving were collected.

'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' Review
By Devika Syal • Emerson Contributor April 4, 2016 at 10:00am
Contrary to what anybody expected, the new DC film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (BvS) has been the source of much "controversy" since its release. Okay, so controversy may not be the best word to use, considering that nothing in the film was overtly offensive or taboo, but it did have a lot of drama surrounding it.
Before the film was even released, when only the critics had access to it, negative reviews started pouring out. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 30%. Critics absolutely destroyed it, calling it boring, saying it had a skewed plot and accusing it of being "a crime against comic book fans" (at least according to Vox).
Let's talk about the fans. Was it really a crime against them, when a huge majority of comic book fans adored the film? The Audience Score for the film on Rotten Tomatoes is 71%, and the fan rating on IMDb is 7.3/10. That's pretty decent! Many cast members from the film, including Ben Affleck and Amy Adams, have publicly said that the film is for the fans, not the critics, and it seems like that rings true. But does the film actually deserve the total annihilation it received from critics?
I don't think so. See, I saw BvS on the Thursday night before it had its wide release on Friday, because I have been anticipating the film since I heard that Ben Affleck was going to play the Batman starring opposite Henry Cavill's Superman. But even without my bias for the actors and my general love for the DC Universe, I can honestly say that this movie was an 8/10. It was not boring, the plot was not skewed and it was not a crime against anybody. The only criminals were the people who had already decided to hate the film before they even saw it.
This isn't to say that the film was perfect. It had its great moments and things that could have been improved. Here are a few of the best and worst:
Oh, Ben. I'm pretty sure I'm his only fan. The poor man faced so much criticism when he was cast, and now everybody, even the critics, cannot deny that he is the best Bruce Wayne we have ever had. His portrayal of the character as a broken, older and morally bankrupt man was phenomenal. I left the movie craving a Batman film focusing on Affleck in Gotham City fighting his villains, not Superman's.
In fact, while Affleck stood out, the casting was altogether great. Jesse Eisenberg played a Lex Luthor whose quirks and humor gave way to how dangerous of a villain he actually is. Gal Gadot made us all want to be Wonder Woman or be married to Wonder Woman. Jeremy Irons as Alfred hasn't been getting much attention, but I liked how his version was more of a peer to Bruce than a guardian.
The fight scenes were not overdone by any means. Some superhero flicks will dedicate 1/3 of the film to people beating each other up, and I'm glad they didn't here.
Critics may not have liked the plot and they may not have liked the way the plot played out, but I thought it was an interesting story. As most of us know, Man of Steel wasn't a good movie. In fact, I think it was worse than BvS. I think most of what made it bad was that the last section of the film consisted of Superman and General Zod literally destroying the Metropolis with no remorse. BvS (spoiler alert!) starts with the end of Man of Steel from Bruce's perspective. He's running through the Metropolis on his way to a branch of Wayne Enterprises that is in the city. He has to watch tons of his employees and friends die because of the damage Superman has caused. He then makes it his mission to stop Superman from causing this destruction in the name of heroism.
Now, I think this was great. Not only does it try to redeem the end of Man of Steel, but it gives a good background as to why the two are fighting. The story got a lot of heat, with critics claiming that it was too slow, but BvS was set up like a comic book. It established three different stories then explained how it came together. I think this made it stronger–we got to feel the pain of the three main characters and then see what they did with that. However, that also leads us into…
A fan review on Rotten Tomatoes stated, "Batman v Superman should have been an engaging character study, but it's overstuffed - crowded with actors, jammed with plot, packed with mayhem," and I cannot help but agree. At times it felt like the characters were so busy doing something that we didn't know why they were doing it. There was so much we could have gotten background-wise. I wanted to know Clark's perspective–was he so caught up in being a hero that he didn't stop and think about the damage he caused on the way? What has the Bruce Wayne in this universe seen? Batman doesn't kill, yet in this film he was going to. Has all the loss he's faced finally taken its toll? I really wish we had more dialogue, more introspection!
Ultimately, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was a good film. I highly suggest that you see it and form an opinion for yourself. You will meet many people who will tell you that it's plain awful because, in this day and age, it's cool to hate things and be negative. Take it from me, as somebody who always finds herself rooting for the underdogs, it's much more fun on this side.

Posted inNotes From the Neon Babylon
by Bruce Van Dyke March 11, 2020
So we were chatting about The Golden Age of The Rolling Stones, which is commonly agreed to be that incredible four-album stretch that began with Beggars Banquet in 1968, followed by Let It Bleed in '70, Sticky Fingers in '71 and Exile on Main Street in '72. Totally tectonic achievements in rock music.
This topic naturally led to a discussion about other Golden Ages in rock history. There are plenty.
Did The Beatles have one? You could make the argument that their entire recorded output, in a way, is one big G.A. You know, those early Beatlemania records are still pretty doggone great. But if we really wanna go for it, we can say that the stretch from '65 to '70, from Rubber Soul into Revolver into Sgt. Pepper into Magical Mystery Tour into The White Album into Abbey Road into Let It Be was one truly fabulous G.A. I mean, dayam. They were just a nifty and talented combo.
How about Bob Dylan? One of the very few artists to make a great record in the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s, there is one flaming G.A. on Bob's scorecard, and that's the amazing trio of records he unleashed in the mid-60s, beginning with Bringing It All Back Home in '65, Highway 61 Revisited in '66 and the mighty Blonde on Blonde double album in '67. These were the "thin wild mercury" years, as Bob called them, which came to a literally crashing halt in the summer of '67 when he dumped his motorcycle in the Woodstock area, bashed himself up and told everybody, "Do the Summer of Love without me while I'm on the mend."
Pink Floyd's G.A. began very obviously in '73, when Dark Side of the Moon conquered planet Earth. That masterpiece was followed by the equally stunning Wish You Were Here, then Animals and then The Wall, giving Floyd the claim to All Time Laserium Band Forever.
How about Led Zep? Ya know, nothing less than that band's first six albums could legitimately be called a Golden Age. From Led Zep 1 through Physical Graffitti, there is some wondrous stuff on each of those tremendously bodacious records.
I don't have room here to delve into U2, Bowie and Prince, but these artists each had their own G.A.'s, for sure. Have a blast re-visiting them as you stay home and hide from the new plague. And don't forget … your favorite cafes and restaurants need you now! Most have take out service! Support them in this way! Please! Do it tonight!

As interest rates slowly rise, retirees & savers could benefit. While higher rates do imply costlier borrowing, there are also some positives that come with tightening. Rising rates are good for interest-bearing bank accounts and fixed-rate investment yields. Higher interest rates encourage banks to lend more, improving the availability of credit.

Top Banana: Tour de France stage 10 – Julien Vermote
When it's a long mid-Tour stage through the flat countryside, who are Quick Step gonna call? Not Ghostbusters, but the race's breakaway buster extraordinaire: Julien Vermote.
On every day where there's a sniff of a bunch sprint, he's been cranking out the long kilometres for Marcel Kittel. Four days ago, Dutch broadcaster NOS calculated that the Belgian had done 700 kilometres on the front of this year's Tour. "It's a long day," Vermote said, with some understatement.
Today was another 120 or so, keeping the French fodder in front within five minutes, helped by Lotto-Soudal's Lars Bak and Katusha-Alpecin's Tiago Machado. With wall-to-wall live coverage of the Tour this year, we are seeing the full extent of their work.
At least for the Belgian rouleur, his team captain's impressive hitrate must make the hours of hurt more worthwhile. After a comfortable win in Bergerac, it's four stages and counting now for green machine Kittel.
His ferocious finishing touch wouldn't be possible without Vermote's labour. What's more, he's a nice guy and very flexible, as editor Ian gleaned after going planking with him in May.
He might just have even more luxuriant hair than Marcel Kittel too. What more could you want from your latest Top Banana winner?
The Rouleur Top Banana goes to an unsung hero of each stage of the Tour de France – not the winner, not the yellow jersey – but a rider whose efforts deserve recognition.
Stage 7 – Reinardt Rense van Rensburg
Stage 8 – Lilian Calmejane
Stage 9 – Dan Martin
The Rouleur Classic, London, November 2-4

New materials using other materials and concepts.


Which exoplanets would you apply to if you could or which ones have you? or is this purely for fictional ones?
Nice, reminds me I need to get some textures sorted out for my exoplanet script.
The one that I'm trying to get my head around is the appearance of lava-ocean planets, which might be an appropriate model for Kepler-10b or CoRoT-7b.


I asked a girl I was dating if she knew anyone who could help me move.
I was changing apartments and my only two friends in the area were out of town.
To make matters worse, I had only been in that town for a few months.
So beyond my two friends and my girlfriend, I knew exactly zero people.
Fortunately (or not-so-fortunately?), my girlfriend knew a few guys who could help.
She convinced her brother and cousin to help me.
I didn't have much at the time so we were able to move my entire apartment (a couch, a futon bed, and a few boxes) in less than two hours.
The job was done and I was relieved.
I thanked everyone profusely, bought everyone lunch, and then bought my girlfriend earrings to say thank you.
(But it wasn't the end).
For the next 6 months, every time we got into an argument, this "giant favor" she did for me was thrown in my face.
You would've thought she built me a new apartment and introduced me to Axl Rose and Slash (now that would have been awesome).
On and on this went.
Every time I asked for a favor or let her do a favor for me, it came back to haunt me.
What made it worse… I started doing this to her.
I started using my favors against her whenever I needed something.
It was an awful, manipulative cycle.
This cycle is very common and if you don't fix it in yourself and avoid it in your interactions with others, you'll limit both your happiness and success in life.
Have you experienced this "wolf in sheep's clothing" trick?
You know, the one where well-meaning supporters with honorable intentions of generosity and kindness and blah blah blah quickly reveal themselves as self-serving manipulators waiting for payback?
Their "help" or support is conditional.
Once you accept it, you enter into this invisible agreement of forced obligation on their terms.
The colleague who offers you something that will benefit you personally or professionally.
The friend or family member who rushes in to save you when you hit an obstacle.
These people woo you with ego-boosting support and favors just when you need them.
And then when they see an opportunity to collect ― watch out.
They turn into opportunistic vultures that show up for payout.
Behavioral psychologists refer to this as "covert aggression" and it's a prime psychological manipulation technique.
A study reported in Personality and Social Psychology Review analyzed indirect, relational, and social aggression ― and found that across both genders, this type of psychological manipulation is used equally as an alternative to any direct approach.
This isn't new… it's just new that I'm calling it out.
The Journal of Personality published research 20 years ago that identified favor-making as one of 12 common manipulation tactics.
This one is highlighted as "Reciprocity-Reward" and begins with offering a favor to get something back and then using that as leverage at a later date.
In other words ― these people are cowards.
Passive-aggression is still aggression and it needs to be purged from your life completely.
These manipulators consciously or subconsciously set you up by offering to help.
Then they lie in wait until they can use that offering against you to get something from you.
The University of Michigan summarized two studies on what they call the dark side of emotional intelligence: people that have high emotional intelligence and display empathy, only to use it as an "in" to manipulate you.
It feels like betrayal the second these people reveal their true intentions because they slid in wearing soft sheep's wool.
Stop accepting help from people who have a history of using their favors against you.
Giving a recommendation to a colleague.
Helping a friend start a new business.
These are things that positive, successful people do.
These are things you can do to build your social capital.
In fact, these are smart ways of connecting and networking.
We are encouraged to reach out to others to offer help and to be humble enough to seek it out and accept it for ourselves.
It's resourceful and smart business.
Until it comes back to bite you.
The key is to make sure that the favors you're accepting are not from manipulative people.
Once someone pressures you into doing something because they did you a "favor" in the past, that's the moment you stop accepting favors from them and, if necessary, cut them out of your life.
1. Manipulators make you dependent.
You're not always going to see it coming.
In fact, the more practiced your manipulator, the harder it'll be to identify them.
And really, what a waste of time it is to try and figure it out.
The bad ones will be easy to spot… the good ones won't be.
Manipulative people will use the favors they've done for you ― especially the ones you didn't ask for ― as weapons.
They see an area of need and they rush to fill it for you.
They come in looking like the good guy or girl: the Rescuer.
All forms of psychological manipulation follow the same pattern.
The manipulator conditions you emotionally to be receptive in some twisted way to do something that serves them.
They want you to be needy.
They want you to feel grateful… eternally.
Their temporary benevolence is neither pure, nor is it ever as valuable as they present it to be.
Your best protection is self-reliance.
Rely on your own creativity and resourcefulness to solve problems.
Whatever your area of need ― seek to fulfill it yourself first.
Need less from people and fewer people will try and take advantage of you.
Be stronger and more capable on your own, and manipulative people can't have an entry point into your life.
2. Manipulators want unlimited payback.
Some people will add value to a situation and move on with their lives.
Others will add value and demand a pound of flesh in return.
These pound-of-flesh people use small favors, like a piece of advice that happened to play out well, or a chance introduction to someone you would have met anyway, as leverage to control your actions.
They're the ones who will remind you over and over again about how your success wouldn't have been possible without them.
They're the ones who will take credit for giving you your best ideas.
They are constantly looking for ways to use something against you.
Right in front of you, or behind your back.
Everything is a potential set-up with manipulators, and they can't be trusted, even if you call them out or try and set boundaries.
The needy and pathetic ones will whine and complain when you don't acknowledge them, or don't tell them something first, or don't ask them for permission.
Once your favor comes back to bite you the first time, don't let it happen again.
The first bite reveals the emotional vampire that this person is and now they'll just keep going.
Stop allowing these people to do you favors.
Stop giving these people leverage against you.
Realize that manipulative people will use even the slightest positive incident against you.
They'll irrationally enlarge the tiniest of favors into some gargantuan monstrosity that you have to pay penance for FOREVER.
Every time you don't do what they want, every time you don't please them ― they will come at you with reminders of their past "gifts" as a way to make you feel guilty and in chronic servitude to them.
3. Manipulators won't ever change.
Your boss who makes you feel good only when he wants you to work over the weekend.
Your relationship partner who will only allow you to feel good about yourself when you're doing what he or she wants you to do.
These people will never change.
They will keep holding whatever they have on you against you.
Your secrets, your mistakes, and certainly the favors you've accepted will be used.
They'll be used as leverage.
There's no use trying to change this.
There's no use trying to change them.
Negotiating with a manipulator is as futile as negotiating with a terrorist or arguing with a drunk.
Do not try and be rational with irrational, self-serving people.
Recognize these ploys as covert aggression and reject them.
Don't make the mistake of giving these people a free pass.
Stop wasting time giving manipulators the benefit of the doubt.
This is their pattern of behavior and you're not the one who's going to change it for them now.
Look — everyone is in it for themselves but not everyone is out to get you.
Don't live in paranoia that everyone is trying to take advantage of you.
But at the same time, don't be naive.
The more times you give in to this type of behavior, the longer it will take you to reach your personal and professional goals.
These people will always hold you back.
They will use your past to stomp on your confidence.
They will take credit for your hard work and for everything good that happens to you in the future.
Once a manipulator tries to take credit for something you accomplished, or tries to tie your achievements to some meaningless action they took years ago, get rid of them.
Stop allowing people to manipulate you by keeping you beholden to old favors.
Stop allowing others to hold you hostage for small things they did in the past or small things you did in the past.
The only way to avoid being manipulated by people offering help that they'll later use against you is to start being more self-reliant. Give and receive help on your own terms. Identify where you actually want or need help and accept favors with caution. Be resourceful for yourself first. Manipulative people make you dependent by holding you hostage to their last good deed. Once they get a foothold in your life, they dig in deeper and look for ways to steal your accomplishments and rob your successes. Be independent. Get rid of these people the first time they expose themselves for who they really are, and don't let them fool you again.

So true. People who are really trusting tend to trust other people. People who manipulate tend to think that everyone's trying to manipulate them. You can't fix them and make them see the light so learn to stay away and don't accept favors from them.
You're absolutely right Theo. Most importantly – it's not your job to fix them.
I had a "friend" like this once! At first I thought I was the one who was going crazy. You are so right — these people are really hard to spot. And if they're really good at it, it can take you years before you figure it out. This person would spontaneously appear with gifts for me months after she'd pulled this crazy mind game on me, and I thought she was really generous. But over time, the constant wondering how she was going to react to the smallest things got to be too much for me, and I stopped calling and started turning down favors. She literally got so mad I mailed back a few of her little gifts – with a note. She was infuriated, but at least I never had to deal with her again.
Thanks for sharing this Sonja. The lesson is clear – the best way to deal with a manipulative person is to step away. No drama needed. They will show their true colors (and possibly self-destruct) all on their own.
Oh, boy! Some of the slickest people operate this way. I found myself sucked into a terrible situation from someone like this. They pretended to be on my side – what a line of crap. After a while I noticed that not only was the person a pathological liar, but totally narcissistic and I ran like hell. Not the kind of person I want to be friends with!
I don't see how they can make you more dependent unless you were dependent already.
@willowsampson:disqus, You may not be dependent in general, at least at first. But they want you to become dependent on them! That's why they seem like such a Godsend when you first meet them. It's like they read your mind and know exactly what you want. They pick up on your need, even if you don't think you need it that much. Master manipulators are really amazing at reading other people.
I think this is the reason why it's so important to know who you are, be self-confident, and know your strengths and weaknesses. I know that guys often get controlled by girls, and it seems to be vice-versa too. That's why you have to be free, even when you're in a relationship. Never lose your sense of self.
There's no getting around it. There are plenty of manipulators in the world. At least you won't fall prey as much if you have plenty of friends around you. But anyone can fall into the trap, especially if the manipulator is so good that none of your friends believe you.
You said it — manipulators want unlimited payback. It never ends. Once I had a feeling that I was getting manipulated, but I didn't know for sure if it was just my paranoia, or maybe my own judgmental self getting in the way. So I decided never to interrupt during the next phone call. The other person talked nonstop for 2 hours and then told me she hated to cut the call short, that she had to go, and she hung up. I had my proof. This was someone who had absolutely no sense of how one-sided the relationship was.
Being self-reliant is the biggest freedom you can have.
Hi, Isaiah. I have one more comment about this. I was reading an article right now about how to spot a sociopath, and it brought back a lot of memories. The article stressed that you can't expect these people to change, that you should get out right away, you should stop giving them things that they want (even emotional drama), and that you need to be sure of who you are and fully self-reliant. If you allow them to help you in any way and you need them in any way, it becomes extremely difficult to break free. When I got out of this relationship, it wasn't until things had elevated to physical violence, and it was only because of connections I had via the Internet that I was finally able to figure out how to get away. You say to avoid people offering help that they'll later use against you, and that your best defense is to be self-reliant, which is exactly right and echoed in the article I just read. I just wanted to take the time to call out your words, because I don't want you to underestimate the power of what you're doing here. It can literally change someone's life to be exposed to this kind of help.
This is a really great post. And like Sonja said below you think you are going crazy when you first feel that manipulative energy.
Thanks Brian, you're right about feeling like you might be the problem at first. This is why it's important to have trustworthy friends around you who can give you feedback and clarity.

Conditional Reasoning
The Unruly Syntactics, Semantics, Thematics, and Pragmatics of "If"
Raymond Nickerson
Reviews the work of prominent psychologists and philosophers on conditional reasoning
Provides empirical research on how people deal with conditional arguments, and examines how conditional statements are used and interpreted in everyday communication
Includes philosophical and theoretical treatments of the mental processes that support conditional reasoning
An ideal resource for psychology students, teachers, and researchers with a focus in cognition
Conditional reasoning is reasoning that involves statements of the sort If A (Antecedent) then C (Consequent). This type of reasoning is ubiquitous; everyone engages in it. Indeed, the ability to do so may be considered a defining human characteristic. Without this ability, human cognition would be greatly impoverished. "What-if" thinking could not occur. There would be no retrospective efforts to understand history by imagining how it could have taken a different course. Decisions that take possible contingencies into account could not be made; there could be no attempts to influence the future by selecting actions on the basis of their expected effects.
Despite the commonness and importance of conditional reasoning and the considerable attention it has received from scholars, it remains the subject of much continuing debate. Unsettled questions, both normative and empirical, continue to be asked. What constitutes normative conditional reasoning? How do people engage in it? Does what people do match what would be expected of a rational agent with the abilities and limitations of human beings? If not, how does it deviate and how might people's ability to engage in it be improved?
This book reviews the work of prominent psychologists and philosophers on conditional reasoning. It describes empirical research on how people deal with conditional arguments and on how conditional statements are used and interpreted in everyday communication. It examines philosophical and theoretical treatments of the mental processes that support conditional reasoning. Its extensive coverage of the subject makes it an ideal resource for students, teachers, and researchers with a focus on cognition across disciplines.

Raymond S. Nickerson is Research Professor of Psychology at Tufts University.
"This book is an encyclopedic tour through the philosophical, linguistic, and psychological literatures on conditional reasoning by an eminent cognitive scientist. A final chapter summarizes what can be claimed to be known and what issues are yet to be resolved. It is truly amazing that there are so many ways to interpret 'If.'" --Thomas B. Sheridan, Ford Professor of Engineering and Applied Psychology Emeritus, MIT
"Raymond Nickerson, a preeminent contemporary student of human thought, has once again provided a novel and deep analysis of a kind of human reasoning. From several different points of view he now considers the logic and psychology of conditional reasoning, specifically the significance-loaded word 'if.' The depth of his analysis makes this a must read for anyone in the psychological community. His work is a model of what psychology can be." --William Uttal, Professor Emeritus (Engineering), Arizona State University and Professor Emeritus (Psychology), University of Michigan
"A major contribution to the study of conditional reasoning by a leading cognitive psychologist." -Richard E. Nisbett, Theodore M. Newcomb Distinguished University Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Michigan
"If is as tricky as it is central to thinking. Philosophers, linguists, logicians, computer scientists, and psychologists all have had their say. Here is a book that sorts out the complexities, and that lays out all the different theories in a clear-minded and critical way. You should read it if you want to make sense of conditional reasoning." -Philip Johnson-Laird, Stuart Professor of Psychology, Princeton University
"Ray Nickerson is known for being attracted to difficult intellectual puzzles-and also for dropping them in the laps of his friends, to their confusion and delight. In this book, he addresses the shortest word able to induce the longest and often most difficult of puzzles: namely, if. As always, Ray's work is stimulating, powerful, and a joy to read. To follow him is rather like being Dante guided by Virgil, though it is hard at times to decide whether we are traveling through the 'Inferno' or 'Paradiso.' And that is perhaps the great gift of this book." -Neville Moray, Professor Emeritus of Applied Cognitive Psychology, University of Surrey

This project was awarded Highly Commended in the Interiors category at the Natural Stone Awards 2004.
The official guide said, 'This is a new development on the site of the old Variety Market of Belfast, Northern Ireland, adjacent to the Royal Courts of Justice. It was clear from the start that the client's brief and the narrow site would influence the design.
The interior was treated as an extension of the exterior with the planes of Portland limestone returning into the building where possible, creating the illusion that the building was created from a series of boxes.
There is a feature wall occupying the corner to the adjacent courts building. It is constructed from Portland Roach with a design based on Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.

So have you guys all enjoyed your long holiday weekend? We have, too...working in London, where no one cares that it is President's Day and that everyone in the US is off skiing or doing whatever. But we are definitely not complaining.
Today was day four of London fashion week, and it was the best fashion day yet. Erdem, Christopher Kane (another show-stopper, review to come), and Burberry all showed their fall collections, and we finally got to have a proper dinner of fish and chips, instead of just free cookies from our hotel. Win all around.
As usual, we saw some fantastic things at the shows, from the front of house to backstage. Take a peek after the jump.

London Fashion Week: Fashionista's Top 10 Collections
Fashion month is halfway over now, with London and New York behind us. London was a whirlwind of shows, many of which took place over President's Day weekend. In case you missed the coverage, we've rounded up our ten favorite collections from what was a very innovative and colorful five days in London. We saw a diverse bunch of fall 2012 collections, from established British heritage designers to buzzy wunderkinds, and even a high street label or two. London fashion represents a lot of different lifestyles, and this season's shows had something for everyone to love. Click through to see our 10 favorite collections from London fashion week, in no particular order.
What We Saw at London Fashion Week
London fashion week is officially done, and our heads are still spinning. We covered a whirlwind of shows, hit some parties, paid a zillion pounds in cab fare, and ate a whole lot of sandwiches from Pret a Manger. In addition to all the memorable collections, we also saw a lot of wackiness--and tons of fashion "personalities." From an actual Kate Moss sighting to models in boxes, check out the things that mystified and delighted us in London.
