Two Sisters to Be Charged After False Threat Against Dixie Heights
Fri, 12/14/2018 - 16:57 RCN Newsdesk
Two sisters face charges after falsely accusing another student of making a threat of violence against Dixie Heights High School, Edgewood Police reported on Friday.
The school and police were notified of an alleged threat via social media just after 9 p.m. on Thursday.
Police launched an investigation and interviewed numerous students.
On Friday, police deployed additional resources to the school as students arrived, and officers continued their investigation.
Police determined that one girl sent a message to another student falsely accusing a third student of planning to shoot up the school on Monday or Tuesday. The student that received that message posted it to social media, and it was shared many times.
The sister of the girl who sent the original message then took to social media to threaten bodily harm against the student falsely accused of making the threat against the school, police said.
Police determined that the false threat originated from an ongoing dispute between one of the sisters and the student falsely accused of making a threat.
The investigation concluded that there was not any credible threat against the school made by the accused student.
Instead, the two sisters will face yet-to-be-determined charges in juvenile court, Edgewood Police said. Police said, after consulting with the Kenton County Attorney's Office, that potential charges could be falsely reporting an incident, disorderly conduct, and terroristic threatening.
"We take any threats to school safety seriously and will investigate and prosecute offenders aggressively," Edgewood Police said in a statement. "This includes anyone who falsely accuses another of making such threats."
Edgewood Police maintained additional resources at Dixie on Friday.

Tag: you can't cheat an honest man
As has long been established here, I very much prefer physical media when it comes to how I like to watch movies. So, to that end, we're here to look at what I personally consider to be the best releases of 2022! As I remind everyone yearly, I do NOT receive screeners of any kind (nor, quite frankly, would I want to, as I prefer to support the movies I like in the hopes of more of them being made available), so I can only work with what I have seen. I am making this list from all the 2022 releases I have seen as of 11/24/2022. I am, at this point, strictly working from movies that have been released through October 2022 (plus one released VERY early in the month of November) due to constraints of time and budget (plus the fact that, as I said, I don't receive screeners and therefore can't comment on anything released in the latter part of November or anything from December). So, this list is what it is (but, I will give a shout-out to some of the others afterwards). And if any of these appeal to you, be sure to click on the movie titles to use my affiliate links to go to Amazon and buy them!
The Wonderful World Of The Brothers Grimm (1962) (Warner Archive Collection, Blu-ray, My Rating: 9/10)
Previously reviewed in: Blu-ray Roundup #1
The Wonderful World Of The Brothers Grimm (1962) tells the tale of Jacob Grimm (Karl Boehm) and his brother Wilhelm (Laurence Harvey), as Wilhelm seeks out various fairy tales while his brother works on the family history of a local duke. This may not be the best film on the list, and it may not be the absolute best restoration (due to some VERY minor damage that is visible here and there), but it was the biggest surprise of the year! It's a very enjoyable film, long thought to be too difficult/expensive to restore due to water damage and being a Cinerama film (meaning it had three times the amount of film to restore that a regular movie of a similar length would have). Now, it looks MUCH better than it has in a long time, and a bunch of new special features were produced for this release. I thought this would be the release of the year when I first saw it, and now, more than half a year later, I still believe it!
Singin' In The Rain (1952) (Warner Home Video, 4K UHD, My Rating: 10/10)
Previously reviewed in: 4K UHD Roundup, Original Review
In this classic musical, Gene Kelly stars as silent film star Don Lockwood, who is facing the rise of the talking picture, as he also begins a romance with one of his fans, Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds). It's hard to go wrong with this film, in between all the fun music by producer Arthur Freed and his partner Nacio Herb Brown, Gene Kelly's iconic dance to the title tune and Donald O'Connor doing "Make 'Em Laugh," along with many other memorable moments. The new 4K UHD really shines, giving us the best transfer we've gotten yet for this film, with less of the yellowish image present from the Blu-ray, and more natural colors! Easily one of the year's best releases!
Blue Skies (1946) (Kino Lorber Studio Classics, Blu-ray, My Rating: 10/10)
Previously reviewed in: Fred Astaire And Ginger Rogers Roundup, Bing Crosby Roundup, Original Review
In this film, dancer Jed Potter (Fred Astaire) has fallen for Mary O'Hara (Joan Caulfield), but she's taken a shine to nightclub owner Johnny Adams (Bing Crosby). In this second film pairing Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire, they once again have the music of Irving Berlin to help tell the story. Memorable moments include Fred Astaire dancing with himself via special effects to "Puttin' On The Ritz" and the two men dancing to "A Couple Of Song And Dance Men." With a new 2K master that easily improves on previous releases on home video, this Blu-ray comes highly recommended!
Gold Diggers Of 1933 (1933) (Warner Archive Collection, Blu-ray, My Rating: 10/10)
Previously reviewed in: Fred Astaire And Ginger Rogers Roundup, Original Review
In this Busby Berkeley musical, a trio of chorus girls take part in a hit new musical when one member's boyfriend helps pay for it. Trouble arises when his meddlesome older brother tries to break up their relationship, but he and his lawyer instead fall for the other two girls from the trio. This is a fun pre-Code musical, with Ginger Rogers singing the classic "We're In The Money" (part of it in pig Latin, no less!), as well as songs like the neon-lit "Shadow Waltz" and the Depression-era "Remember My Forgotten Man." The new Blu-ray works from a scan of the best preservation elements, and as a result, the film looks fantastic! A wonderful movie with a great transfer to boot (and therefore highly recommended)!
(tie) For Me And My Gal (1942) (Warner Archive Collection, Blu-ray, My Rating: 10/10)
Previously reviewed in: Blu-ray Roundup #2, Original Review
In For Me And My Gal (1942), a pair of vaudevillians team up, hoping to become big enough stars that they can perform at the famous Palace Theater in New York City. However, the war (World War I) throws a monkey wrench in their plans when one of them is drafted. There's a lot of fun to be had here in the first film that teamed up Judy Garland and Gene Kelly (in his film debut!), from the wonderful period music to the fun dance routines. Now, Warner Archive has done a 4K scan of their best preservation elements for the film, and it looks better than ever! This Blu-ray is certainly the best way to see this film, and comes highly recommended!
(tie) The Clock (1945) (Warner Archive Collection, Blu-ray, My Rating: 10/10)
In The Clock (1945), Robert Walker stars as Corporal Joe Allen, who meets Alice Mayberry (Judy Garland) while on a two-day leave in New York City. This is a fun little drama, which focuses on the growing romance between two characters who meet during wartime. Judy and Robert both carry the film quite well, and give us characters that are easy to invest in as we see their various adventures together. For the Blu-ray, Warner Archive gave us a 4K scan of the best preservation elements, which means that this film looks fantastic, with great detail and nothing to mar the image. Easily a great way to enjoy this wonderful movie!
West Side Story (2021) (20th Century Studios/Disney, 4K UHD, My Rating: 10/10)
Previously reviewed in: 4K UHD Roundup
In this remake of the classic musical, the Jets and the Sharks duke it out for control of the streets of New York. Former Jets leader Tony (Ansel Elgort) falls for Maria (Rachel Zegler), the sister of the Sharks' leader, which further complicates things. I will readily admit that I did not care for the original 1961 film (and had no plans to see this one), but the new film won me over! The music and dancing are entertaining (and make me want to get up and dance!), and I can't help but want to see the film again and again! With a beautiful transfer on the 4K UHD, I certainly can think of no better way to see this wonderful film (outside of on the big screen, that is)!
The Three Musketeers (1948) (Warner Archive Collection, Blu-ray, My Rating: 10/10)
In this version of the classic Alexandre Dumas tale, Gene Kelly stars as the young swordsman D'Artagnan, as he and three other musketeers face off against the French prime minister Richelieu (Vincent Price). Obviously, this film hits a number of the same beats as many other filmed versions of the tale, but Gene Kelly alone makes this swashbuckler film fun! His swordfights (including one whose footage was later borrowed for Singin' In The Rain) are quite entertaining and humorous! Warner Archive has done their usual stellar work with this three-strip Technicolor film, making the Blu-ray a great way to enjoy this movie!
Edge Of Darkness (1943) (Warner Archive Collection, Blu-ray, My Rating: 10/10)
It's World War II, and the Norwegian village of Trollness has suffered indignity after indignity under the conquering Nazis. Under the leadership of Gunnar Brogge (Errol Flynn), they wait for the opportune moment to strike back against their German occupiers. It's definitely a film that was meant to help drum up patriotic fervor in the fight against the Nazis, but it's still a well-made film that builds up the tension to the fight between the Norwegian people and the Nazis (a battle which was done well in and of itself)! Yet another great release from Warner Archive, with the transfer (taken from the best preservation elements) looking crisp and clear and devoid of all dirt and debris! A great release of a very good war film!
You Can't Cheat An Honest Man (1939) (Kino Lorber Studio Classics, Blu-ray, My Rating: 10/10)
Previously reviewed in: W. C. Fields Roundup
Circus owner Larson E. Whipsnade (W. C. Fields) is trying to stay ahead of his creditors, but winds up in enough trouble that his daughter considers a loveless marriage to her wealthy boyfriend to help get her father out of debt. This is a rather fun movie overall, with some of its best bits coming from the running feud between W. C. Fields and ventriloquist Edgar Bergen's dummy Charlie McCarthy (with the exception of Charlie wearing blackface to cover up a black eye)! The new 2K master looks pretty good, as far as I'm concerned (with VERY minor instances of dirt and debris that don't really take away from the enjoyment of this movie), making this release well worth it!
Special Honorable Mention:
The Little Rascals: The ClassicFlix Restorations, Volume 4, Volume 5, Volume 6 and The Little Rascals: The Complete Collection Centennial Edition
For the most part, my list tends towards movie releases, as those are the vast majority of what I buy. However, as you may have seen, I also enjoy looking into various theatrical short collections. In 2020, ClassicFlix announced (via crowdfunding campaign) their desire to restore the Hal Roach-owned Little Rascals shorts. While their campaign fell short, they went through with their plans anyway. They now have all six volumes of the Little Rascals talkie shorts available on Blu-ray, uncut and fully restored. In doing so, they've released the entire run of the Hal Roach-produced talkie shorts, with all six volumes recently re-released in the Complete Collection Centennial Edition. This set contains all the previously released shorts (now condensed onto five discs instead of six), plus a bonus disc (also available separately for those who bought the individual volumes) that includes several alternate language versions of a few shorts plus three silent shorts that they've restored (which will also be available when ClassicFlix starts releasing the silents on Blu-ray and/or DVD at some point next year). I've so far had the opportunity to see the shorts from the first five volumes (all of which have looked fantastic!), and I'm currently looking forward to seeing the sixth volume (plus the silents when they get that far)! Easily recommended as some of this year's best releases, whether you go with the remaining individual volumes or the complete set!
Honorable Mentions: You're Telling Me! (1934) (Kino Lorber Studio Classics, Blu-ray), Adventures Of Don Juan (1948) (Warner Archive Collection, Blu-ray), Jack And The Beanstalk (1952) (ClassicFlix, Blu-ray)
I have to admit, compared to the last few years, 2022 has felt like a bit of a slow and slightly disappointing year where physical media has been concerned. Most of that disappointment is arguably centered around the decreased output from Warner Archive. Don't get me wrong, when it comes to WHAT they have released, I'd still say that they won the year in my opinion. They've released some Blu-ray upgrades for a few old favorites, while releasing a few new-to-me titles that I've enjoyed (especially, as you can tell from my list, The Wonderful World Of The Brothers Grimm), all of which has certainly made me happy. But I also understand WHY their output has slowed, with almost their entire staff getting laid off in early 2021, including their head George Feltenstein (who was, thankfully, rehired back at Warner Brothers later in the year, thus enabling the Warner Archive program to survive beyond 2021). With a smaller staff to work with, that resulted in there being only 2-3 titles a month from them (compared to about 4-7 a month the last year or two), with there being nothing from them at all for two months. From what George Feltenstein has been saying on some of his various podcast appearances, though, it sounds like things *should* pick up from them in 2023 (with word that the classic 1950 musical Three Little Words is currently being worked on!), especially as the whole studio celebrates the 100th anniversary of Warner Brothers!
In general, I would say that ClassicFlix is right up there with Warner Archive (even if they themselves have only had a handful of releases). Their releases of the Little Rascals shorts have continued to be amongst the highlights of the year as I get to see them for the first time (and looking pretty darn good at that!), and I look forward to their releases of the silents from that series as well! As for feature films, they've really only had Black Magic (1949) (which was one of their rare lesser transfers, although to be fair that's not really their fault, as they could only do so much with the available film elements), Jack And The Beanstalk (1952) (a restoration that was actually performed by the 3-D Film Archive, and, although the film itself is not one of my favorite Abbott and Costello films, it still looks so much better than what I've seen previously) and I, The Jury (1953) (I haven't seen this one yet, but, as their first 3D Blu-ray/ 4K UHD release, which has been reviewed well by others whose opinions I respect, I look forward to seeing it).
With regard to the rest of the boutique labels, the year has left me with a lot of mixed feelings. Kino Lorber Studio Classics has had some good releases this year, with the long-awaited release of Blue Skies (1946), plus some stuff featuring the likes of W. C. Fields, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour from their licensing deals with Universal Studios. They've also had some big licensing deals with some of the other major Hollywood studios (including their first with Sony, and Paramount licensing out to them again for the first time in a number of years), although so far they haven't lived up to the hype (at least, not when it comes to the stuff that I actually want). Universal themselves didn't impress me as much with their Blu-ray output, as the only real wave of catalog films included three new-to-blu Bing Crosby films (yay!), along with some reissues of titles previously licensed out to Kino Lorber that had only been included in three-film box sets. Criterion has really disappointed me, as they have seemingly decided I'm not their target audience, as their release of Arsenic And Old Lace was really the only title that solidly appealed to me all year (to be fair to them, their price point isn't as budget-friendly, so I'm not too bothered by that, but it's still disappointing after being able to count on a good handful of appealing releases every year for a while).
As some may have seen, I finally dipped into 4K tech so as to be able to enjoy some of the various UHDs that actually interest me. So far, I can't say as I've seen much of this year's releases, mostly because there was one catalog title (of interest to me) for most of the year, plus one modern film (which really, REALLY appealed to me, thus why I brought it up in the first place). Much to my annoyance, the various studios/boutique labels FINALLY got around to releasing some stuff over the last few months of the year (when my budget starts going towards Christmas gifts for others instead of more movies for myself). As I mentioned, ClassicFlix's I, The Jury (1953) 4K UHD/ 3-D Blu-ray has been receiving rave reviews so far, so I definitely want to plug that one (especially since it is a limited edition). Sony has released their third Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection, which includes titles such as It Happened One Night (1934), From Here To Eternity (1953) and four other films (plus extras), with this release also receiving good reviews. Universal Studios have also released their second Universal Classic Monsters Icons Of Horror Collection (with Phantom Of The Opera's transfer getting well reviewed), plus Holiday Inn (1942) (which you've seen by now I don't think came out as well). Paramount Pictures have had a few releases as well, some well-reviewed (the Elvis Presley classic Blue Hawaii, although some have complained about the re-done opening credits with a different font than before), and others not so much. Warner Brothers has recently brought their classic Casablanca (1942) to the format, with that being reviewed pretty well.
That's all I have to say on 2022's new releases on disc. There've been some great releases this year, and a few not-so great. But, things are looking up from what I'm hearing already about 2023, so hopefully it will be a good year for physical media enthusiasts and film fans!

What's Old Is A New Release Again (2022) Roundup Featuring… W. C. Fields
Welcome back to my new "Whats Old Is A New Release Again Roundup" series! This time around, I'm focusing on titles released in 2022 featuring W. C. Fields, whether they be on DVD, Blu-ray or 4K UHD. Short of something having been released that has escaped my notice (which is always possible), this post should essentially be completed now (outside of adding links if and when I do full reviews for any of these films). So, let's dig into some of W. C. Fields' films that have seen a new release in 2022, which includes You're Telling Me! (1934), Man On The Flying Trapeze (1935) and You Can't Cheat An Honest Man (1939)!

My Overall Impressions
Coming Up Shorts! with… Sprucin' Up (1935)
(available on Blu-ray as part of The Little Rascals: The ClassicFlix Restorations, Volume 5 (1935-1936) from ClassicFlix)
(Length: 16 minutes, 58 seconds)
The kids are all complaining about how their mothers make them clean themselves up. However, when a new truant officer (and his beautiful daughter) move in, everybody changes their tune! This one was decent (although a bit of a letdown after the last few). Mostly, the fun is watching Spanky (George McFarland) and Alfalfa (Carl Switzer) competing for the affections of the new girl, but it also gets old fast as they get on the father's bad side. It's not terrible, as I've certainly seen far worse shorts than this. It's just not one that leaves me with a strong desire to rewatch it as soon as possible.
Coming Up Shorts! with… Little Papa (1935)
Spanky (George McFarland) and the Gang want to play football, but he's forced to babysit his younger sister. Hoping that she will be less trouble if she is asleep, Spanky and Alfalfa (Carl Switzer) try to find ways to make her sleepy. This one was fairly amusing. Admittedly, it's really a two-joke short, with Spanky first trying to wear his sister out (and getting tired himself), and then he and Alfalfa try to quietly sneak out of the bedroom (and fail to do so) after she is fast asleep. Still, it was entertaining and left me laughing, so it would be worth seeing again!
Coming Up Shorts! with… Little Sinner (1935)
Spanky (George McFarland) was just given a new fishing pole for his birthday, and he wants to try it out! However, it's Sunday, and all the other kids warn him against skipping Sunday School (but he ignores them, to his regret). This one was a lesser short, in my opinion. It certainly had its moments, especially with all the stuff that goes wrong for Spanky as he attempts to go fishing. It goes a little off the rails for the last few minutes as Spanky and his compatriots Buckwheat (Billie Thomas) and Porky (Eugene Lee in his debut as the character) find themselves stumbling upon a baptism ceremony for blacks during an eclipse, with the kids getting scared by the spirited members. Those last few minutes drag this short down (and certainly aren't politically correct nowadays, either), which is more or less why this one didn't work quite as well for me.
Plot Synopses: Optometrist and inventor Samuel Bisbee (W. C. Fields) is in trouble with his family. His daughter, Pauline (Joan Marsh) wants to marry Bob Murchison (Larry "Buster" Crabbe), but his high society mother (Kathleen Howard) won't hear of it. Samuel tries to sell his puncture-proof tire to the National Tire Company, but a mix-up in cars results in his sale falling through, leaving him pondering suicide by taking iodine. He decides against it, and ends up "helping" another passenger who had some iodine (but was NOT considering suicide). That passenger turns out to be the princess Marie Lescaboura (Adrienne Ames), who decides to help him out after hearing his story. Will things turn out all right for Samuel and his family with the princess' help, or will his family be forever ashamed of him?
Film Length: 1 hour, 6 minutes
Extras: "Wayne And Shuster Take An Affectionate Look At W. C. Fields" Vintage Documentary, Trailers for The Old-Fashioned Way (1934), You Can't Cheat An Honest Man (1939), The Bank Dick (1940), My Little Chickadee (1940) and Alice In Wonderland (1933)
Label: Kino Lorber Studio Classics
On The Movie Itself: Check overall impressions.
On The Transfer: According to the Blu-ray case, this transfer comes from a new 2K master. Quite simply stated, this transfer looks quite good! It really shows off the detail in the picture. There is some minor damage in the form of scratches, dust and debris, but it's not so bad as to mar an otherwise fantastic release!
Plot Synopses: Although he caught a pair of burglars in his cellar, Ambrose Wolfinger (W. C. Fields) finds himself in jail briefly for making liquor without a permit. While he's in jail, his brother-in-law Claude Neselrode (Grady Sutton) steals Ambrose's ticket to a big wrestling match. On the advice of his daughter, Hope (Mary Brian), Ambrose decides to take the afternoon off from work to try to see the match anyway. However, when asking his boss for the afternoon off, he lies and says that his mother-in-law had died and he was going to her funeral. He gets the afternoon off, but will he manage to see the wrestling match (or survive when his wife and still-alive mother-in-law find out about his lie)?
On The Transfer: According to the Blu-ray case, this transfer comes from a new 2K master. Like You're Telling Me!, this one looks pretty good as far as detail is concerned. Again, not all the scratches, dirt and debris have been dealt with, but what's there doesn't really interfere with enjoying the movie itself.
Plot Synopses: Circus owner Larson E. Whipsnade (W. C. Fields) has been keeping a promise to his late wife to put his kids through college. However, the circus is losing money as a result, and he has to stay on the move to keep ahead of his creditors. Larson's daughter, Victoria (Constance Moore) has fallen for ventriloquist Edgar (Edgar Bergen), even though he and his dummy Charlie McCarthy can't stand Larson. However, with the circus close to being taken over by its creditors, Victoria feels she must do her part by marrying the wealthy Roger Bel-Goodie (James Bush). Will true love win out, or will Victoria marry a man she doesn't care for to help her father out?

On The Transfer: According to the Blu-ray case, this transfer comes from a new 2K master. Again, this one looks pretty good. There are some scratches and other debris to be found, but nothing serious. Likely to be the best this movie will look, and I have no problem with that, as good as it came out!
Like with the other entries in my "What's Old Is A New Release Again Roundup" series that have focused on my "Stars/Screen Teams Of The Month," I'm sticking to comments about my stars (in this case, comedian W. C. Fields). In these three films (You're Telling Me!, Man On The Flying Trapeze and You Can't Cheat An Honest Man), W. C. Fields is up to a lot of his usual antics. In all three films, he plays a father to a very loving daughter. The earlier two films have him married to a nagging wife (of varying degrees), and have him resorting to booze a bit more. In You're Telling Me!, the film's memorable moments include his drunken entrance to his home at the start of the film, him buying an ostrich for his wife as an "apology pet" and the golfing sketch that ends the film. For Man On The Flying Trapeze, the whole opening sequence, in which Field's character Ambrose is first being admonished by his wife to hurry up and come to bed (while he slowly takes off his socks and neatly folds them up) before she pushes him to get up and go after some burglars in the cellar, is quite funny, as is a later sequence in which he keeps receiving tickets from different policemen for being parked in a "no parking zone," even though he was asked by one to pull over. You Can't Cheat An Honest Man has some unforgettable moments, mostly within the running feud between Fields' Whipsnade and Edgar Bergen's dummy Charlie McCarthy (capitalizing on the "feud" between them on the radio show "The Edgar Bergen And Charlie McCarthy Show") plus his daughter's engagement party (in which he tells stories about some rattlesnakes, which keep causing the hostess to faint, as she fears snakes) and also him partaking in a heated game of ping pong. While these films are humorous throughout due to W. C. Fields, I personally consider these to be some of his strongest moments in each.
Well, now that I've commented on all of these films, I'll give you my rankings on these releases, from highly recommended (1.) to least recommended (3.):
With this group of films, it really does come down to what I think of the movies themselves as to which I would recommend. Transfer-wise, they're all pretty similar, with each sporting a new 2K scan that contains some scratches and other debris in small amounts. So, the films themselves are the thing. I admit, even though I recommend it the highest, You Can't Cheat An Honest Man has the most politically correct issues, with Edgar Bergen's dummy Charlie McCarthy wearing blackface briefly (in order to cover up a black eye), not to mention Eddie Rochester's stereotyped character. Apart from those two issues, though, it really was the most hilarious, especially with Edgar Bergen and his dummies Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd adding to the fun. The other two films are generally quite good (with the golf sketch alone in You're Telling Me! making that film worth seeing). Man On The Flying Trapeze does feel the weakest overall as a film, but it's still strong enough that I could recommend that film just as easily as the other two. So, I certainly suggest giving all three a try, especially on Blu-ray!

A.S. Concerts and Events announced that Isaiah Rashad will headline UCSD's sixth annual Hullabaloo. The festival will take place at Matthews Quad on Nov. 18 at 8 p.m.
Rashad, born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is a rapper signed to Top Dawg Entertainment — the same label that houses Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and many others. His debut extended play "Cilvia Demo," which contains 14 tracks, was released in 2014 to critical and commercial success. In addition to peaking at 40th on the Billboard 200, the project was rated 8.2 out of 10 by Pitchfork Media and four out of five stars by BET, Spin, Consequence of Sound, HipHopDX and XXL. One of Rashad's most popular singles, "I Shot You Down," was released prior to "Cilvia Demo" but has a remix on the EP featuring Schoolboy Q and Jay Rock. The track's music video currently has over four million views on YouTube.
His follow up, "The Sun's Tirade," reached an even wider audience, debuting at No. 17 on the Billboard 200. The project, which carries a total of 17 tracks, also sustained his critical following, as it was rated 8.1 out of 10 by Pitchfork and over four out of five stars by Spin, Consequence of Sound, HipHopDX, XXL and AllMusic. The music video for Rashad's single "4r Da Squaw" currently has more than five million views on YouTube.
Other performers include Andrew Luce, who performed at Coachella, and Tennyson, a brother and sister electronic duo from Canada.
Former Hullabaloo headliners include fellow rappers Lil' Dicky in 2015, Logic in 2014 and Chance the Rapper in 2013. Entry to the festival is free for all UCSD undergraduates (with valid student ID). Information regarding how to register will be coming soon.

New Release Review - Salvo
A mafia hitman protects the blind sister of his latest victim from his ruthless employer.
Directed by: Fabio Grassadonia, Antonio Piazza
Starring: Saleh Bakri, Luigi Lo Cascio, Sara Serraiocco, Mario Pupella
Salvo (Bakri), a soldier in the Sicilian Mafia, is chauffering his boss (Pupella) when they are ambushed by an armed gang. Finding the address of the man responsible, Salvo arrives at his home to find his target's sister, Rita (Serraiocco) living there. Due to her blindness, Rita is initially unaware of Salvo's presence in her home but when her brother arrives and is executed, she is abducted by Salvo, who is unable to bring himself to kill her. Telling his boss that Rita has been taken care of, Salvo hides the girl in a disused industrial estate but when his employers learn of his deception, Salvo must decide between Rita and the Mafia.
The latest edition of the Cannes Film Festival is little over a month away but such are the distribution patterns of European cinema that some of the festival's 2013 highlights are still trickling out to theaters almost a full year later. Asghar Farhadi's Palme d'Or nominee The Past finally reaches us in the coming weeks but now we get to see the winner of the Critics' Week Grand Prize, Salvo.
The movie is the debut of Italian duo Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza but draws heavily on elements explored in their short film Rita from 2009. Both the short and the feature center around a blind girl named Rita whose home is invaded by a criminal figure. In the short, Rita helps her invader hide out, while here she is abducted by Salvo as a means of saving her.
Both films use sound to convey how their blind protagonists experience the world. Salvo's greatest moment is a bravura scene near the beginning when Rita comes to realize an intruder has entered her home. The camera stays focused straight on her face while the stunning sound design creates an unbearable tension. Her brother's killing is made all the more shocking by allowing us only to hear his screams while we focus on his sister's terrified face as she clutches a security blanket tightly to her chest.
Grassadonia and Piazza evoke the spirit of Jean Pierre Melville by focusing on the mundanity of their hitman's life and his disinterest in the world around him. Holed up in the basement of a safe house, the couple hosting him make a constant fuss about air conditioning and food, two vital parts of Sicilian culture, but Salvo barely breaks a sweat and shows no interest in eating, as though he were a ghost.
For all its technical virtuosity, particularly in the sound design department, it's the film's two leads that leave the greatest impression. Bakri is a striking presence who, despite resembling a Mediterranean male model, carries a palpable sense of brooding menace. Background information on Serraiocco has proven impossible to come by so I'm unsure as to whether the actress is actually blind herself, but she certainly had me convinced.
Ultimately, due to its slightness, Salvo is a film that draws more admiration than emotional involvement, but if Grassadonia and Piazza can find some substance to add to their clinical command of sight and sound they'll certainly be a duo for cinephiles to keep an eye on.

SIDELIGHTS: Film director John Frankenheimer only doubled as screenwriter on one of his productions, but it may well have been his best film. The Manchurian Candidate, a cold war-era thriller about a Korean War veteran who is brainwashed into attempting to kill the U.S. president, was adapted from a novel by Richard Condon. It features a top-flight cast, including Frank Sinatra, Angela Lansbury, and Laurence Harvey, and was ranked number sixty-seven on the American Film Institute's list of the best one hundred American films of the twentieth century. Interest in The Manchurian Candidate increased when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated a year after its release and it was pulled from circulation. There are conflicting theories as to why this happened; some claimed that the film's producers did not feel it was appropriate to screen the film after Kennedy's assassination, while others cited economic considerations. When The Manchurian Candidate was re-released twenty-five years later, critics agreed that the passage of time had not harmed the film at all. "Not a moment of The Manchurian Candidate lacks edge and tension and cynical spin," Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times upon the film's re-release. A reviewer for TVGuide.com even thought that this "nerve-beating masterpiece" is "more timely now than then."

Spring well on its way in Sussex according to Nature Calendar
Though it may be difficult to believe, spring is well and truly on its way if Mother Nature is an accurate barometer.
Wednesday, 15th February 2017, 2:15 pm
Song thrush heralds spring
Signs of spring have been recorded across the UK on the Woodland Trust's Nature's Calendar project.
So far in 2017 the conservation charity has already received sightings of 42 different indicators of spring at more than a thousand locations across the UK.
Recorders in Sussex have logged snowdrops, hazel catkins and even records of song thrush singing.
The Trust has received fewer records than this time last year which is explained by colder temperatures in January 2017 compared to 2016.
The recent weather may slow the advance of spring, but it causes less of a problem than a late cold spell, when many more species may be awake from hibernation or flowering – as happened in 2013.
Judith Garforth, Woodland Trust Citizen Science Officer, said: "Recording signs of the changing seasons on Nature's Calendar is hugely valuable to scientists and researchers who monitor its impact on nature. Although we're seeing signs slightly later this year we expect to see many more signs as it finally begins to warm up."
By recording spring signs of species found in woodland and other habitats, thousands of people have enabled Nature's Calendar to become a vital survey into how climate change is affecting UK plants and wildlife.

The company has to compete with its past successes which in its case is not easy.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has set a difficult bar for itself.
It can put up numbers that most companies would be thrilled to have and still be considered a failure based on past results. That's what's happening with the release sales for the new iPhone 7. Apple has managed to get a seemingly impressive number of customers to buy its latest phones, according to analysis from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP), but the iPhone 7/7 Plus launch still lags behind the company's most-successful release.
Since the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus launched on Sept. 23, CIRP estimates that 73% of iPhone buyers in the United States purchased one of the two new models. That seems like a very high number, even for a year with a new model number (as opposed to the "s" years which involve a lesser upgrade), but for Apple it's only a middling result.
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus launch falls between the wildly successful iPhone 6 and 6 Plus launch in 2014, and the somewhat disappointing launch of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus in 2015...The combined share for the 7 and 7 Plus launch is up slightly from the 71% share for the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus in 2015, and down considerably from the 81% share for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in 2014. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus benefited from a new form factor, a larger screen, and the introduction of the even larger and premium-priced Plus model.
Even though the amount of people choosing to buy the new models (rather than a still-available older one) has dropped from the 2014 highs, the company has managed to keep the same percentage of users (about one third) buying the bigger, more-expensive Plus model. That's up from around 25% who opted for the larger, pricier phone in 2014.
Oddly enough the percentage of Android users switching to iPhone 7 was sort of the opposite of the overall sales pattern. The number of Android users who switched to the 7 and 7 plus came in at 17%. That's better than the 6 and 6 plus (12%), but worse than the 6s and 6s Plus (26%).
73% of Apple customers upgrading to the newest, most expensive phones is still pretty impressive. Despite numerous internal upgrades, in reality it's hard to think Apple will hit its peaks with any model that does not have a noticeable physical change over earlier iPhones -- such as with the 6 and 6 Plus.
In this case, the 7 and 7 Plus have some minor physical differences from the various 6 models, as well as the expected improved processors, cameras, and more storage on the entry-level models, but they just aren't that different from their predecessors. Apple has trained people to upgrade every year, but they have also taught some value-seeking buyers that older models get cheaper when new ones come out.


Voters in Lincoln County surprised the county clerk by shifting the weight of their turnout to election day.
Voters in Lincoln County surprised the county clerk running the political party primaries by shifting the weight of their turnout to election day.
"Prior to that, based on early voting and absentee, I anticipated less than a 27 percent turnout, but on election day, it was more than 37.6 percent, a significant increase over (previous primaries of 25.44 percent in 2014; 29.26 percent in 2010; and 29.35 percent in 2010) ," County Clerk Rhonda Burrows said. "We had 255 absentee when we usually have between 300 to 400, and early voting typically was higher. But we made up for it on election day. You never know how voters are going to shift their attention. We will have to add more people for the general election. I anticipate quite a turnout in November."
The total number of eligible voters declined because of a purge of the voter rolls, but that doesn't affect the percentage. The county registered 13,402 voters by May 10, when the books closed, and 10,616 were eligible to cast ballots in the primaries of the two parties, 7,409 Republicans and 3,207 Democrats. New Mexico is a closed primary state and only those people registered can vote in their party's election.
Burrows said she and her staff liked the big turnout on election day.
"We do a lot of work and throw a big party, and we want everyone to come," she told county commissioners during a special meeting Friday to certify the election results. "It also shows your county is active in the political arena, so legislators pay attention."
She reported that 3,995 voted, 2,687 on election day, 1,051 early and 255 absentee. Of that total, 2,928 were Republicans and 1,066 Democrats.
Before she went over the election results and statistics, Burrows introduced the staff and support personnel who contributed to the success of the primary election day.
"This is a big process and it takes good people and real dedication, and we are blessed to have that in our county," she said.
Her Chief Deputy Whitney Whittaker stepped into that position when Tammie Maddox retired in 2014. "She continues to learn and to get better and better at the job every day," Burrows said.
Shannan Hemphill, previously a presiding polling place judge, now serves as Bureau of Elections Clerk. "This is her first full statewide election since (she became elections clerk) and I think she liked it," Burrows said.
Her regular office staff consisting of Diane Shoemaker, Charlotte Emmons, Allysanne Huey and Karen Mills all pitched in, the clerk said.
"The clerk's staff has been the same number for years and these ladies fill in the gaps for elections and work a lot of overtime, about 14 hours on election day average, because the polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 pm.," Burrows said.
Vote technicians not only test and certify the 22 tabulator machines, they deliver equipment of all sorts and drive the entire county multiple times, she said. Paul Baca, county assessor, is the chief technician and works with Rodney and LeeRoy Zamora.
"If you can't rely on your vote technicians, you're going to have problems," Burrows said.
Presiding judges and poll workers at each of the six voting centers, and for early voting sites, are key to a smooth election, she said. The early voting site in Ruidoso and the Ruidoso Convention Center voting center on election day continue to receive the heaviest use, she said, although more voters seem to be finding the courthouse for early voting.
On election day, 1,350 voted at the convention center, 504 in Capitan, 316 in Ruidoso Downs, 367 at the courthouse in Carrizozo, 154 at Hondo and 95 in Corona.
"We've been doing voting centers (where someone from any precinct in the county can cast a ballot) since 2012," she said. "I think the voters still are figuring out they can move around the county and vote early."
Although the Horton Center in Ruidoso is for sale, she has been assured that site still will be available for early voting in Ruidoso for the general election, Burrows said.
The clerk the office received a few calls from people who said they never received their absentee ballots or they came late. She will be doing follow up calls on about 30 absentee ballots that were not returned.
"Our return rate usually is much higher and we're going to track them to see if they just didn't send them back or if there was a problem," Burrows said.
To speed up reporting of returns and because the county is large geographically, the presiding judges call results in from each site before they arrive by polling center courier at the clerk's office.

Bamyan (Persian: بامیان Bāmyān), also spelled Bamiyan[1] and Bamian,[2] is the capital of Bamyan Province in central Afghanistan. With an altitude of about 2,550 m and with a population of about 61,863, Bamyan is the largest town in the central Afghan region of Hazarajat, and lies approximately 240 kilometres north-west of Kabul, the national capital. Bamyan was the site of an early Hindu–Buddhist monastery from which Bamyan takes its name (Sanskrit varmayana, "coloured"). Bamyan's name is translated as 'The Place of Shining Light'.[3] Many statues of Buddha are carved into the sides of cliffs facing Bamyan city. In 2008, Bamyan was found to be the home of the world's oldest oil paintings.[4]
The Bamiyan valley marked the most westerly point of Buddhist expansion and was a crucial hub of trade for much of the second millennium CE. It was a place where East met West and its archaeology reveals a blend of Greek, Turkish, Persian, Chinese and Indian influence.

3.1 Buddhas
3.2 Demography
Situated on the ancient Silk Route, the town was at the crossroads between the East and West when all trade between China and the Middle East passed through it. The Hunas made it their capital in the 5th century. Because of the cliff of the Buddhas, the ruins of the Monk's caves, Shar-i-Gholghola ('City of Sighs', the ruins of an ancient city destroyed by Genghis Khan during the 1221 siege of Bamiyan), and its local scenery, it is one of the most visited places in Afghanistan. The Shar-i-Zohak mound ten miles south of the valley is the site of a citadel that guarded the city, and the ruins of an acropolis could be found there as recently as the 1990s.[5]
The town is the cultural center of the Hazara ethnic group of Afghanistan. Most of the population lives in downtown Bamyan. The valley is cradled between the parallel mountain ranges of the Hindu Kush and the Koh-i-Baba.
Bamyan is a small town with a bazaar at its center. It has no infrastructure of electricity, gas, or water supplies. According to Sister Cities International, Bamyan has established a sister city relationship with Gering, Nebraska, United States. It has an airport with a gravel runway.
Mountains cover ninety percent of the province, and the cold, long winter, lasting for six months, brings temperatures of three to twenty degrees Celsius below zero. Mainly Daizangi Hazara people live in the area. Transportation facilities are increasing, but sparse.
The main crops are wheat, barley, mushung, and baquli, grown in spring. When crops are damaged by unusually harsh weather, residents herd their livestock down to Ghazni and Maidan Provinces to exchange for food.
Bamyan's climate is transitional between cold arid (Köppen BWk) and semi-arid (Köppen BSk), with cold winters and warm, dry summers. Precipitation mostly falls in late winter and spring.

The city of Bamyan was part of the Buddhist Kushan Empire in the early centuries of the Christian era. After the Kushan Empire fell to the Sassanids, Bamyan became part of the Kushansha, vassals to the Sassanids. The Hephthalites conquered Bamyan in the 5th century. After their Khanate was destroyed by the Sassanids and Turks in 565, Bamyan became the capital of the small Kushano-Hephthalite kingdom until 870, when it was conquered by the Saffarids. The area was conquered by the Ghaznavids in the 11th century. The first European to see Bamyan was William Moorcroft (explorer) about 1824.
For decades, Bamyan has been the center of combat between zealous Taliban forces and the anti-Taliban alliance; mainly Hizb-i-Wahdat – amid clashes among the warlords of local militia. Bamyan is also known as the capital of Daizangi.

On the cliff face of a mountain nearby, three colossal statues were carved 4,000 feet apart. One of them was 175 feet (53 m) high standing statue of Buddha, the world's tallest. The ancient statue was carved during the Kushan period in the fifth century. The statues were destroyed by the Taliban in March 2001, on the grounds that they were an affront to Islam. Limited efforts have been made to rebuild them, with negligible success.
At one time, two thousand monks meditated in caves among the sandstone cliffs. The caves were also a big tourist attraction before the long series of wars in Afghanistan. The world's earliest oil paintings have been discovered in caves behind the partially destroyed colossal statues. Scientists from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility have confirmed that the oil paintings, probably of either walnut or poppy seed oil, are present in 12 of the 50 caves dating from the 5th to 9th century.[8] The murals typically have a white base layer of a lead compound, followed by an upper layer of natural or artificial pigments mixed with either resins or walnut or poppy seed drying oils. Possibly, the paintings may be the work of artists who travelled on the Silk Road.[9]
The caves at the base of these statues were used by Taliban for storing weapons. After the Taliban were driven from the region, civilians made their homes in the caves. Recently, Afghan refugees escaped the persecution of the Taliban regime by hiding in caves in the Bamiyan valley. These refugees discovered a fantastic collection of Buddhist statues as well as jars holding more than ten thousand fragments of ancient Buddhist manuscripts, a large part of which is now in the Schøyen Collection. This has created a sensation among scholars, and the find has been compared with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Since about 2002, a Provincial Reconstruction Team has been based in Bamyan, first manned by U.S. forces, and, since about 2003, by personnel from the New Zealand Defence Force.
Hazaras form 95.4% of the city, Tajiks 4.1% (ind. Qizilbashs and Sadat), 0.9% Tatar, and 0.1% Pashtun.[10]
Bamyan is home to the region's only university, Bamiyan University. The school was founded in the mid-1990s, and largely destroyed under the Taliban. It was renovated following the fall of the Taliban.

He then moved to the house-hold and toiletries division where he was responsible for initiating and implementing a pan-European supply chain strategy based on the lean concept of "every product every interval". More recently Ian has been working with companies as an independent Lean coach and sensei. His approach to applying lean in many types of industries, including chemicals, paints, pharmaceuticals, grocery, food and drinks, is refreshingly different, instructive and always entertaining. Both books have won the prestigious Shingo publication Award. Articles by Ian Glenday June 25, Ian Glenday "A fixed repeating pattern in production that involves more frequent short runs seems ridiculous and impossible to achieve," writes Ian Glenday.

Alongside these religious and philosophical concepts and associated with Shinto are Yamato and Wa. Toyoda became famous for its automated looms and the patented idea of Jidoka whenever a thread broke, the machine stopped. It turns out other people had already come up with that particular invention: J.
Northrop was a British inventor, who developed and built looms in New England in the late s. Northrop came up with a design that Sakichi Toyoda was able to reverse engineer and tweak. The famous Model G loom that Sakichi perfected in was an original design, but there were influences from elsewhere.
Charles Francis, the first American employee of Toyota starting in , was an expert in precision machining. During the crisis, Toyota ran out of cash and was split in two parts by the banks: the sales company on one side and the manufacturing business on the other.
They would merge again only in But while Ohno was leading the way forward in Manufacturing, Kenya Nakamura and Tatsuo Hasegawa were making similarly revolutionary inroads in Product Development.
Nakamura was as dynamic and influential a leader as Ohno was. Concurrently, Shotaro Kamiya was breaking new ground in Sales albeit based on what he had learned at GM, where he had previously worked. The production system and development system were quite home grown by Toyota and its people; in sales, Kamiya had worked previously for GM, so development of the sales process and organization drew upon his experiences positive and negative there.
These three threads are quite distinct from each other. In those years, the foundations of TPS and Toyota Product Development System were being laid with the same principles and practices being shared with suppliers.
He led the company through most of the year incubation period. Underneath, it was a copy of a Chevrolet, with reverse engineered components. Education has long been valued highly in Japan, which also contributed to the situation Toyota was able to capitalize on during the post-World War II economic miracle.
This is a spirit that Toyota embraces formally, albeit with slightly different words. Things should appear natural and simple. On his deathbed, Sakichi is said to have charged his son Kiichiro to do the same with the automobile. Dozens of his books have been translated, selling millions of copies. Japanese who study Western management begin with Drucker. This term refers to the master of a school of traditional Japanese arts, such as the tea ceremony or flower arranging, and entails recognition of the importance of doing things in a traditional, highly stylized, way.
This is the time when W. Edwards Deming and others were brought in to teach quality techniques like statistical quality control. Before Deming, another American, an MIT electrical engineer by the name of Homer Sarasohn, taught the Japanese statistical process control beginning in Shigeo Shingo was one of several key Japanese academic and practitioner leaders to import and develop IE in Japan.
Shingo taught his P-Course to thousands of front-line supervisors at Toyota and other companies. Ninomiya was a peasant who became successful by working hard. He became known to the head samurai of his community, who brought him in to try and spread his thinking.
Ninomiya was an idol of Sakichi Toyoda. It is based on the teachings of 13th-century priest Nichiren. A core belief of Nichiren Buddhism is that all people have the ability to reach enlightenment in the current lifetime. Mikawa is the old name of the region of rice fields and foothills where Toyota City now lies. Of all the warriors in Japan, the samurai from Mikawa were considered to be especially powerful adversaries: diligent, loyal, and well-organized.
In fact, it was the shogun from Mikawa Tokugawa Ieyasu who finally united all of Japan around Mikawa is a unique region, with its own distinctive accent; locals were and are often considered rednecks, and this is part of the character that fed into Toyota. It is fascinating that the two most famous individuals from the Mikawa castle town of Okazaki are the Shogun Ieyasu the most famous figure in Japanese history and Kiichiro Toyoda.
By this time, the company could tap into the great management and operating systems it had created to face this challenge. This could be considered the time and place where the TPS body of knowledge began to spread outside of Toyota in a comprehensive and methodical manner.
Maasaki Imai wrote the book Kaizen and founded the Kaizen Institute. Imai got to know Ohno and started to run seminars in and outside Japan in the late s. Suzumura and then Iwata and Nakao were the first examples of TPS guys leaving Toyota to consult outside the company Nakao and Iwata founded Shingijutsu in to operate outside Japan, whereas NPS operated inside Japan; Ohno himself orchestrated the initial territorial split.
European makers from Porsche to Mercedes to Fiat do the same. In , Toyota experienced its first financial loss in the post-war period. Born out of a series of promises that resulted from President George H.
By its 25th anniversary in , TSSC had supported over North American organizations, from tiny manufacturers to hospitals to food banks to disaster relief organizations. A number of innovations of TPS took place there Ohno found that sometimes it was easier to get people to try out his ideas outside of Toyota City.
Toyota wins the award in , following Nissan in and Denso in After the Second World War, the aerospace industry was banned in Japan and thousands of aerospace engineers suddenly became available and many moved into the automotive industry.
Tatsuo Hasegawa one of the two originators of the Toyota Product Development System , for instance, was an aerospace engineer. But, regardless of the influence of Ford on Japanese industry as a whole, the influence on Toyota was strong. Taiichi Ohno stated that he thought Henry Ford would have eventually developed many of the more advanced flow concepts and techniques that Toyota pioneered in the s. Darwin also brought a lot of influence to Japan; controversial but not in the same way he was in other countries in the West, Darwinian ideas were seen as a threat to religious ideas of creationism.
This was a non-factor in Japan, but the social implications were seen as a threat to social order. With Smiles and Ninomiya, we can easily see a theme around work ethics and being self-reliant — ideas that are still an integral part of what Toyota is today.
John Dewey and his concise, authoritative expression of the scientific method as a three-step process of learning through experiments and experience. Dewey lectured in Japan in He received a patent for a self-stopping mechanism to build in quality on automated looms in At the same time, the outside world started to learn about Toyota. In Japan, the company had become famous for its operating system in the s: during the oil crisis, when many Japanese companies lost a lot of money or went bankrupt altogether, Toyota pulled through the crisis quickly.
Academics began to pay attention. But there is more to lean thinking than just waste elimination. Around the same time, Jim Harbour was studying the cost advantage the Japanese enjoyed over the Americans and Europeans others were studying as well, including the US Department of Transportation , which contributed to the crisis in the US automotive industry and industry overall.
Some Americans responded to the success of Japanese manufacturing by advocating closing doors to Japanese imports, while others became curious to explore. Rather than returning as a team, they were scattered around GM.
In the mids, new CEO Jack Smith initiated a more concerted effort, beginning with overseas operations in Germany, Belgium and Brazil, which resulted in significant progress. The boom reached its apex in the late s, around the same time TPS was becoming famous. By , the trend of Japanese companies transplanting operations in the US was even the theme of a major Hollywood movie called Gung Ho.
These days the company is investing a lot in hydrogen-powered, hybrid and electric vehicles. This was preceded by pressure in the auto industry in the s to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, a critical component of creating demand for smaller, more efficient vehicles in the US. Notable examples in retail include Tesco and Starbucks; the first successful application of TPS tools and techniques in healthcare occurs at Virginia Mason in Seattle. The lean healthcare movement starts: Thedacare quickly becomes another successful example, followed quickly by many more in North America.
Flinders Medical Centre in Adelaide, Australia this became an early example of lean thinking success in an academic medical center.
Other applications of lean thinking include Product and Process Development. The contrast between the thinking of lean management versus traditional thinking has been explored by many, notably Deming, of course, and Professor H.
Thomas Johnson with his series of books and essays beginning in In , art and music teachers and practitioners at the University of Cincinnati teamed up with lean construction practitioner Tom Richert to explore the relationship between lean scientific thinking and the arts. Is this diffusion, dilution… or delusion? It is comprised of four values and 12 principles that have much in common with lean thinking.

Stanley, Peter: Bad Characters
Peter Stanley
Bad Characters: Sex, Crime, Mutiny and Murder and the Australian Imperial Force, Murdoch/Pier 9, Sydney 2010
Australia's long-standing love affair with the Diggers has blinded us to the dark side of the Anzac legend. Bad Characters is a book that will do something no other book has tried to do. It will tell the story of the Australian soldiers in the Great War who were not heroes: soldiers who committed offences and crimes; those who malingered, deserted, robbed and murdered their comrades; those who took part in riots, strikes and mutiny.
The term 'bad characters' was used by the army to refer to those who caused unrest or were disobedient: their crimes ranged from avoiding battle, absenteeism, desertion, disobedience and self-inflicting wounds and contracting venereal disease, to the more extreme charges of murder and mutiny. (blurb)
The book was a joint winner of the Prime Minister's Prize in History in 2010-11 and is reviewed here and here. The author talks about his book here and here. In its discussion of the sexual habits of our servicemen it qualifies for the section Expressing ourselves.
Peter Tatchell writes about similar issues in the British forces in World War I.
