Well, it has been almost three weeks since the government's most recent effort to suppress Freedom of the Press. Not really surprising, since they have nothing to go on; they just think that they do. However, Billy J. Williams (aka Don Quixote) and Pamala R. Holsinger (aka Sancho Panza) have spent a bunch of taxpayer's money on "Tilting at Windmills". They just do not seem to believe that the Constitution is the very document that created them, and the government that they represent. Well, it didn't really create them, but it did create the positions that they hold.
Back on January 10, 2017, the government filed the "Government's Supplemental Memorandum in Support of Motion to Enforce Protective Order (1689)". This was discussed in Freedom of the Press #3 – "Contemptuous Postings", published on January 11. That same day, just hours before #3 was published, the Court filed an "Order Granting in Part Government's Motion to Enforce Protective Order (1691)". This, of course, led to my response, on January 12, with Freedom of the Press #4 – The Order. Rather a hectic pace, for three days.
Apparently, the government had some heavy homework, for it wasn't until January 30 that they made their next move. They filed "Government's Motion for an Order to Show Cause (1788)", and, not to be out done, they filed an "Affidavit of FBI Special Agent Ronnie Walker in Support of Government's Motion for an Order to Show Cause (1789)". The Motion (1788) is only 6 pages, but the Affidavit (1789) is 14 pages, 8 of which are actually entering my Article #4 into the record. I sure like it when they expand my readership. Thank you, Don and Sancho.
I am an "investigative or law enforcement officer of the United States" within the meaning of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2510(7), authorized to conduct investigations into alleged violations of federal law.
Now, it says that she is "authorized to conduct investigations into alleged violations of federal law." It does not say that Walker cannot investigate other allegations, but if Walker could, would not Walker have made the point clear. It kinda makes you wonder, since nobody has found the time to provide a statute that I am in violation of. This was first discussed when I received the "Letter- Demand to Cease and Desist", which I reported on in Freedom of the Press #1 – Meeting with the FBI, when "I asked the agent what statute bound me to the Cease and Desist portion of the letter?" I received no reply. Since they have not provided me a statute (federal law), I am just wondering if maybe SA Walker is moonlighting for the US Attorney.
4. This affidavit is intended to show only facts pertinent for the requested motion and does not set forth all of my knowledge about this matter.
a Supplement to the original Protective Order, court record #1692, which prohibits any individual or entity from disseminating those materials or any information derived therefrom to any other individual or entity by any means.
Well, that is a fact. Any individual or entity that disseminates those materials or any information derived therefrom to any other individual or entity[,] by any means. Now, that would make almost any person who has read and shared certain of my articles, and presumably, even if you did not read them and only shared them, you have been brought into the "long arm of the Protective Order", and are subject to the very same punishment that they want to try to hang on me. And, as Walker said, that's a fact.
Do not let that scare you, because we still have to see if the Court can find some way to reach out of their jurisdiction and grab me, or you, unless, of course, you live in Oregon. But, even if you do live in Oregon, unless you are party to Ammon Bundy, et al, the trial, which will start, again, with Group 2, on February 14, it would not apply to you, either. The reason I say that it can't reach you is that you have to have aided and abetted a party in the action. That condition exists when two parties work together. We'll touch on that, a little later.
The government may have given the Grand Jury sufficient information to properly find "probable cause". It is also possible that they may have simply convinced the Grand Jury to find "probable cause" based upon explaining to them that they had given them enough information for them to indict the 26 people charged in the final (third) Grand Jury Superseding Indictment. We will be looking at the Indictment, Case Law, the Grand Jury selection process, and the information provided to the Grand Jury.


Long stitch is a very old method of bookbinding, thought to have originated in medieval Germany. It involved sewing signatures directly through a limp cover (usually leather) with 'long stitches' – as its name implies. There are countless variations of the long stitch technique and once you're hooked you'll want to experiment more with these stylish books. Long stitch bindings can be anything you want them to be from rustic to contemporary and look equally at home in the hands of Gandalf or Galliano.
In this workshop you will make one A5 journal or sketchbook with hand torn pages and a wraparound gorgeous leather cover using the rather handsome, link and long stitch method. The finished book is wrapped with a cord or thong closure.

Hey, I know I'm late to the party here, so I'm going to make this quick and say that Aquaman stinks like a large collection of seaweed that has washed up onto the beach. That's my best analogy for the movie which is basically trash.
Well, we're finally here, DC movie number 6 and, oh boy, do I have a lot to say about it! I wasn't expecting much from this movie as I felt like this would be a good downer movie after destroying Justice League a few weeks back. But the funny thing is Aquaman is much worse than I could possibly have imagined. I was so under prepared for how bad a time I was in for and, you know what, I feel like doing something daring. I'm just going to tell you what happened in Aquaman and TO YOU PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET, DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE THIS PAGE, I'M NOT SPOILING THE MOVIE I'M JUST TELLING YOU EXACTLY WHAT THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT AND WHAT EXACTLY YOU'RE WALKING INTO. SO SIT BACK AND RELAX, WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE SOME FUN!!!
What's Sup, Dudes, I'm the Aquaman and I can like talk to fish.
The Blog Complainer explains the plot of Aquaman: Once a upon a time Future Dad character finds Special Mummy character washed up on the shore. Dad character and Special Mummy character fall in love and have Hero character. They live happy lives and Special Mummy character mentions that our Hero is destined to do great things one day. Until evil scary guys takes Special Mummy character away. So Hero character evolves and learns his special powers at a very young age because it's much cuter when a child actor learns his true potential.
Hero character grows up to be Outcast Hero character who is well known for his small heroic acts and our Hero character is of course a badass, a big strong muscly person and he has the likeable personality traits of every other male in his genre. We see our Hero character express himself in an opening action scene, doing something heroic and battling it out with the Secondary Villain. Later on Hero character meets Love Interest character but of course they don't know that yet, but we do! Our Love Interest character is pretty bland except she is a strong capable woman who doesn't need a man in her life but really she needs our hero in her life. Love Interest character tells Hero character that Jealous Brother character wants to be King and take over the world. Jealous Brother character is our main villain and he doesn't deserve the throne he holds because that belongs to our Hero character. But he is definitely a massive jerk, not sympathetic in any way and he is totally menacing. Oh yeah he's the Bad Guy!
Then Love Interest character and Hero character go to a secret city and Hero character is amazed by how impressive it looks. This is where we meet Mentor character who, in the past, trained our Hero character to be the badass warrior he is today. Our Hero character is eventually captured by the baddies and is brought before Jealous Brother character and they have an epic staring contest and Jealous Brother character challenges our Hero character to a fight and, since this is still very early on in the movie, our Hero character is easily defeated by our Villain. So Love Interest tells our Hero character about a McGuffin device that brings all of the kingdoms together so our heroes go on an epic quest while along the way they slowly bond and get into awkward romantic positions together. Tee Hee! They find a clue to the puzzle, but wait, their enemies have found them and it's time to fight. Our Hero character gets into an epic fight with our Secondary Villain, but he defeats him and our heroes move on to the next stage.
The next stage involves getting around some sort of obstacle. After that they reach the final stage which looks more interesting than anything we have seen before. We also see the return of Special Mummy character where she encourages the Hero character to fulfill his destiny. But that's not enough encouragement. He needs to battle a big scary monster before earning the right to hold the McGuffin device. After that we reach our super epic grand final battle where most of the budget of the movie usually goes. Our Hero character must face Jealous Brother character one last time, but wait, the Love Interest character admits her feelings for him. They embrace, then they kiss and the music builds up to the highest point as we marvel at how far these characters have come. At last our Hero character and Villain character meet and this time the Villain character is easily outclassed by the knowledge our Hero has learned on his journey. The Villain character is defeated and our Hero character rightfully claims his role as King as he raises his McGuffin device in the air and in the other arm he holds his girl and all his subjects shout his name as it's a fantastic victory.
She's like the Little Mermaid and I'm like Prince Charming's Awesome Older Brother.
But that's not all folks, Our Secondary Villain is discovered to have survived his encounter with the Hero character and now he vows revenge and if this movie makes a profit then you'll see what happens next. That's the plot of Aquaman and you're welcome.
My Thoughts on the Movie: I'm guessing after the disastrous gross of Justice League, DC were really playing it safe. If you skipped over that last part then basically Aquaman is every movie ever made. It's so standard and so safe that it kind of baffles me as to why they even bothered. Moving on from the story let's talk about everything else and explain why none of it works. Jason Momoa as Aquaman still doesn't work for me. He's good at playing the beach bum character but he's kind of too goofy to be a serious super hero, like I couldn't buy at all his transformation into the true King of Atlantis. I'm just going to skip the rest of the characters because they all suck and jump straight to the CGI, which is better than the last movie but it still looks horrendous. I could never have imagined Atlantis looking good in Live Action form but they did it anyway and it looks bad. Most of the time it's too dark to make out anything and other times it's so bright that everything is just a blur.
The action scenes will probably be the highlight for most people but not surprisingly I thought they sucked. The one take fight at the very start just looked so bad with the Nicole Kidman stunt double leaping across the room knocking out guys, I just couldn't help it I thought it was terrible and looking back at it, it makes me laugh. My favourite scene in the movie is when Aquaman boards the submarine and goes 'What's up bad guys, I'm here to kick your ass'. I liked it, not because it was good, but because of how stupid it is – this movie needed more stupid scenes like this and less boring scenes in Atlantis. The best part is when Aquaman leaves the evil guy's father to die. It's so funny that I was just chuckling away while the evil guy was going 'NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL GET YOU FOR THIS AQUAMAN, ONE DAY!!!!! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!' What's up with these DC movies that all their bad guys have to shout whenever they want to be intimidating?
There is some attempted comedy in the movie too, although I didn't think any of it was funny and it all felt forced like all of their other movies and, like every other DC movie, I knew exactly what was going to happen and the movie still treats me like I'm an idiot! The earlier parts of the movie I liked because they're humorously bad but once we arrive in Atlantis it's like the origin scenes in Wonder Woman, but triple it. Most of the movie looks like a video game and the story is ripped from every movie that is a part of this genre. There is also a lot of cringey and cliched dialogue throughout the movie, the ones I have mentioned in this review should give you a good idea of what the rest of the movie is like. To finish this paragraph off I will say this – Aquaman did make me wish it was as long as Justice League because seriously I was less than halfway through the movie when I just wanted it to hurry up and end and as we slowly inched towards the end my frustration grew.
Whatever This Guy Says About Me, Doesn't Matter Because At The End of The Day, I'll Always Be Cooler than Him. You Just Got Wrecked Bro.
I want to wrap this up, so the main problem with Aquaman is the exact same problem as with all the other DC movies as it wants to appease absolutely everyone but they don't realise it's impossible to do so. So it's every movie you have seen before, plus a fun superhero movie, adventure movie, prophecy movie. It wants to be fun and taken seriously but it doesn't work because everyone knows Aquaman is a joke! They still haven't learned their lesson and, with the current gross, Warner Bros will see it as a win. It's a massive disappointment and it's nowhere close to an okay movie so it's a 2/10 for me. If you feel like being unchallenged then go right ahead but I seriously don't think it's worth your time at all.
But I'm guessing the good news is that SHAZAM! looks like it gets the point of what it is, unlike this dumpster fire, so hopefully that could get this universe out of the hole they're currently in. So that's it, I hope you all have a Happy New Year and I'll see you next year.

Spider Man 3 Game
by Critic.net | Jan 23, 2015 | Arcade Games |
Spider Man 3 is one of the best games on the web. Best of all, it can be played for free at Critic.net. For those who haven't heard about this website, it's only the best kept secret. Why should anyone have to pay for games when they can be played for free? We at Critic.net have tried to create a world that is enticing and has the adrenaline rush that gamers need. The best part about all of this, we are able to do it without costing anyone a penny! That means gamers can play all day long for free. Games like Spider Man 3 are the latest and greatest to hit the net. Why pay to download harmful software to the computer system, it can be played on our site with no downloads and no cost.
Free Spider Man 3 is a fun and easy game, no wasting time trying to figure it out. We give you step by step instructions so that you can play. With our online video helpers, the gamer can get started and won't have to try to figure out all the ins and outs of the game. For this one, it is based loosely off the blockbuster movie that people loved. The original game was made for the hand held game system, but this version is for the computer. This game has an elaborate plot that has plenty of other characters to make it interesting. There are villains like the New Goblin and Sandman to keep things interesting.
When a new gang shows up in town called the "H-Bombers, they blow up the Carlyle building. It is Spider-Man who appears to save the day and to help a woman who is going to be killed. Staged in New York City, there are problems that interrupt his destination. The gang problem is horrible and Spider-Man wants to help the city to overcome the problems. The Daily Bugle has a new reporter, Eddie Brock, and he does cause a bit of problems for the web slinging bandit. If only he had to deal with the H-Bombers alone, but they are just one of many who is terrorizing "The Big Apple."
His girlfriend, Mary Jane Watson, goes along for a thrill ride with him through Central Park. While reminiscing and talking about life, a meteor crashes and makes its way to Peter Parker's shoe. Unbeknownst to Spider-Man, in the Goblin's Lair is Harry and he is filling the chamber with smoke, as he gets dressed in his armor. There is a tape that has been recorded from Dr. Connors about the study of lizard DNA. It proves that lizards have the ability to grow a new limb after one has been cut off. Trying to salvage a right arm that he lost during the army, he injects himself with the DNA. The real problem is the man turns into a giant lizard, he gets way more than just an arm. The game is really in-depth and something that is futuristic, a great for science buffs.
As Spider-Man is fighting the gang members, he soon stumbles upon the fact that there is three other gangs causing havoc in the city, they are Apocalypse, Arsenic Candy and Dragon Tails. The group Apocalypse is really no challenge for him, they are targeting the subway system and local power plants. Arsenic Candy has hostages hidden in an abandoned warehouse and they are targeting theaters. Though Apocalypse isn't the only ones targeting the subway, Spider-Man stops them all with his webs of strength.
It is Peter Parker who happens to be passing by the lab and noticing there is some strange sounds in there. He follows Connors straight into the sewers and has to stop him. He has one goal in mind, turning others into lizards too. He gets away and Peter is trapped. He is unable to go any further. Trying to change his clothes, the New Goblin nearly knocks him off his feet and beings attacking him. The battle takes place and they end up on New Goblin's Glider, but he is no match for Spider-Man. Spider-Man's webbing attaches him to the building and defuses his threat. Doing the right thing, Spider-Man gets him help at the local hospital.
Just as Spider-Man gets one problem solved, another one arises. The gang, "H-Bombers" is putting bombs all over NYC's financial district. They also kidnap a report from the Daily Bugle, J. Jameson. Spidey saves Jameson. After this, Spider-Man needs some sleep, as it has been a very tiring day. The next day things take a turn for the worse when two reporters from the Bugle must try to catch Spider-Man robbing something. A fake Spider-Man is introduced and the game really gets intense.
The rest of the game is Peter Parker trying to find and uncover their plot to set him up. He is kidnapped and this allows the masked impersonator to run free. Trying to ruin Spidey's good name, it all becomes a game about clearing himself. There is blackmail, and in the end it is the Sandman who steps in to help try to take Peter down. Eventually, Spider-Man makes amends with the sandman. The game has amazing twists and turns and just when a person thinks they can breathe easy, another villain shows up to cause havoc. There are many surprises to keep this game adrenaline rushing and it proves that being Spider-Man is a hard job.
This is just one of the many exciting games that can be found on Critic.net. Copy the link to a website and allows friends, family and business associates to enjoy these free games.

Kenneth Dahrup Zohore (født 31. januar 1994 i København) er en dansk / ivoriansk fodboldspiller, der spiller som angriber for den engelske Championship-klub West Bromwich.

Karriere
Han startede sin ungdomskarriere i BK Skjold. Som spiller for klubbens ungdomshold debuterede Zohore i en alder af 16 år og 35 dage for FCKs førstehold i en SAS-ligakamp mod AGF og blev derved den yngste debutant i Superligaen nogensinde på daværende tidspunkt. I juni 2010 blev Zohore indlemmet i FCKs førsteholdstrup.

Kenneth Zohore debuterede som 15-årig for Danmarks U/17-landshold, for hvilket opnåede i alt 24 kampe for i perioden 2009-11.

Kenneth Zohore debuterede i Champions League 20. oktober 2010 kl. 22.17 (dansk tid) på F.C. Barcelonas hjemmebane Camp Nou. Han var dermed den næstyngste spiller til at betræde græsset i turneringens historie på daværende tidspunkt i en alder af kun 16 år og 261 dage. Denne alder var kun overgået af nigerianske Celestine Babayaro fra RSC Anderlecht, da han debuterede i en alder af 16 år og 87 dage tilbage i 1994. Zohore scorede sit første mål for FC Københavns førstehold, da han den 30. oktober 2010 i en kamp mod Lyngby Boldklub scorede til 1-0, hvilket gjorde Zohore til den næstyngste målscorer i Superligaen.

Efterfølgende har han spillet i en række andre klubber, hvor han især i walisiske Cardiff City F.C. i perioden 2016-2019, først på lejeophold, men snart efter købt af klubben, havde rimelig succes med 22 mål i 89 kampe.

I sommeren 2019 efter Cardiffs nedrykning fra Premier League skiftede Zohore til West Bromwich Albion F.C., hvor han fik en fireårig kontakt.

Privat
Zohore er i familie med fodboldspilleren Didier Drogba, eftersom Zohores far og Drogba er fætre

Han er desuden fætter til den danske basketballspiller Jonas Zohore.

Wealthy Vietnamese Relish Cachet of Luxury Playthings
By Samantha MarshallStaff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal
THE SHINY new Louis Vuitton shop that fronts Hanoi's Metropole Hotel seems anomalous next to the amputees and ragged children that beg for change outside. But in Vietnam, where the average per-capita income is $300 a year -- enough to buy just half a Louis Vuitton handbag -- the number of consumers willing to splurge on such luxury products is surprisingly large, retailers say.
"The Vietnamese are very brand-oriented already," says a marketing executive for Swiss-based Siber Hegner, which distributes Cartier jewelry, Montblanc pens and Baume & Mercier watches in Vietnam. For now, the Metropole says the Louis Vuitton boutique's main market is foreign guests and expatriates, and Cartier watches remain too pricey even for most of the country's wealthy. But Siber Hegner says cheaper "access to luxury" items -- such as leather accessories, ties and perfumes -- are selling well to consumers who crave the cachet of expensive, foreign-made goods.
"It's the first time they've had the opportunity to buy these things, so they want the best," says Nguyen Linh, managing director of SRG Vietnam, a market-research company. A wealthy class has only just emerged with the economic reforms begun by the government in 1989.
MARKETERS ARE hastening to provide the best. Tag Heuer, a pricey Swiss watch brand, recently began advertising in local papers, and billboards for top-range mobile phones from Ericsson and Motorola are splashed along roadsides in major cities. In fact, Vietnam was the site of the Asian debut of Motorola's top-of-the-line StarTac phones, just four days after the world-wide launch in Milan, a marketing agency for the U.S. company says.
Luxury-goods purveyors are concentrating their efforts in the major cities. Average annual per-capita income in Ho Chi Minh City is $950, and the government predicts that annual income in Hanoi will hit $1,000 by 2000. Actual incomes are even higher than the official statistics suggest, says Jim Hoang, a Ho Chi Minh City marketing executive. Mr. Hoang, who during the last three years has helped launch Swatch watches and other name-brand goods in Vietnam, argues that many people in the country's emerging middle class hold at least two jobs, and don't declare the extra income. Some also supplement their incomes with money from relatives overseas; Mr. Hoang figures that the more than two million overseas Vietnamese send $80 million to $100 million a year into Vietnam. Official figures put the total at about half that amount, but Mr. Hoang, himself an overseas Vietnamese, reasons that much of the money comes into the country undeclared.

Strollers are available at all four of the parks, and may be a lifesaver at Animal Kingdom and Epcot, as those parks cover the most area.
Younger children will delight in the abundance of characters they are able to meet in each park, either at greeting spots or character dinners in the parks.
At the Magic Kingdom, at Cinderella's Castle you can dine with princesses, and at the Crystal Palace characters from Winnie the Pooh visit your table and parade around the restaurant.
In the Magic Kingdom's new expanded Fantasyland, the Casey Jr Splash and Soak Station is an interactive (with water!) play yard.
At Epcot in Norway is another place to dine with royalty, the princesses, and at the Garden Grill you can enjoy your fare with Chip and Dale.
In Epcot, there is no specific playground, but many of the countries have open areas, gardens, or hikes where kids can stretch their legs.
However, Epcot strives to keep young ones entertained with the Kidcot stations found in the World Showcase which gives kids a chance to do a small activity, collect a stamp, and talk with a cast member from the country represented.
In Hollywood Studios at Hollywood and Vine you will find many different characters from Disney Junior, and at Animal Kingdom you can dine with Donald and pals.
All of these restaurants are child-friendly and serve favorite kid fare.
One of the best themed play spots can be found at Hollywood Studios, with the Honey I Shrunk the Kids Set.
Huge blades of grass, tunnels, and larger than life insects make the kids feel like they have had a turn in front of the famous shrinking laser!
Animal Kingdom's Boneyard boasts impressive slides and a sand pit to dig for dinosaur bones.
As you can see, Walt Disney World takes pains to cater to every age visiting the parks.
All of the parks in Disney World also house at least a small play area for young kids to blow off some steam.
Some parks, like the Magic Kingdom, have whole areas devoted to young children, but even at the parks with more thrill rides there is plenty for the young, and young at heart.

Q: How implement AsyncTask in fetching XML file to show cusom markers in Google Maps Android API v2? I am currently developing an app for Android that uses the Google Maps API v2. I am showing custom markers from an external XML file: http://dds.orgfree.com/DDS/landmarks_genxmlv2.php , which will show some landmarks in the map.
As you can see in my code below, I am using StrictMode to avoid NetworkOnMainThreadException while testing this app in an actual phone. I know that it is not advisable to used this method. It should be done in a separate thread and in background through AsyncTask. I tried implementing AsyncTask in this app but I have no luck. Can anyone help me to furnish my code or give some good suggestions that will help me with this? Thanks a lot in advance.

A: You cannot change UI from background thread.
Therefore move everything that changes UI to onPostExecute() method.
I already answered today the same question with code example : Android disable button on successful doinbackground call

Jim Riley is co-founder of Jardín Botánico de San Quintín and has spent the last few years coordinating biodiversity assessments in Reserva Natural Valle Tranquilo and other regions in Northwest Baja California. Jim re-dedicated his time to environmental advocacy after a career in finance and has now dedicated himself to the conservation of pristine landscapes in Baja California. He is the author of Plant Guide, Maritime Succulent Scrub Plant Region, Baja California published by the Botanical Research Institute of Texas. Mr. Riley has a B.S. in Physics.
Jorge is a Conservationist who works in northwest Baja California and as a marine wildlife observer on the seas of the world. He is a co-founder of Jardín Botánico de San Quintín. His scientific career has gone through the micro and the macro of plants and animals. In his master thesis Jorge evaluated the quality of habitat during the non-breeding season of Black Brant geese in San Quintín Bay, Baja California. He has worked on several national and state forest inventories, and he is co-author of a population survey of nocturnal rodents in Reserva Natural Valle Tranquilo.
Susana is a anthrobotanist who studies historic and current human relationships with the environment and landscapes. Her thesis and current work focuses on early farming and animal husbandry in central Mexico. She is a co-founder of Jardín Botánico de San Quintín and is in charge of the community outreach and education. Prior to co-founding JBSQ, Ms. Alfaro worked on several biological surveys in mainland Mexico and in a women's outreach and eduational program for at-risk women.

She wrote her masters thesis on the flora of San Quintín and later authored the regional field guide Quail- friendly Plants of Baja California.


I was fortunate to be offered the opportunity to visit the anechoic chamber at the Australian Hearing Hub at Macquarie University. What is an anechoic chamber? It's a room (chamber) with no echo (an-echo).
In other words, as much as possible, all sound at all frequencies is absorbed, which makes it very quiet .. it has no ambience. Well, that's the theory and it's great for research purposes. And for my purposes in investigating "silence" it was the most silent room I was going to find.
I was warned by colleagues and well-meaning friends that I'd go mad, that I wouldn't last a few minutes, that I shouldn't get locked in. And I'd read the story about George Foy, the longest ever survivor of the Orfield Laboratories Anechoic Chamber!!
Ironically, far from being peaceful, most people find its perfect quiet upsetting. Being deprived of the usual reassuring ambient sounds can induce fear – it explains why sensory deprivation is a form of torture. Astronauts do part of their training in anechoic chambers at NASA, so they can learn to cope with the silence of space.
I had heard being in an anechoic chamber for longer than 15 minutes can cause extreme symptoms, from claustrophobia and nausea to panic attacks and aural hallucinations – you literally start hearing things. A violinist tried it and hammered on the door after a few seconds, demanding to be let out because he was so disturbed by the silence.
Such a room is called an anechoic chamber, its six walls made of special material, a room without echoes. I entered one at Harvard University several years ago and heard two sounds, one high and one low. When I described them to the engineer in charge, he informed me that the high one was my nervous system in operation, the low one my blood in circulation. Until I die there will be sounds. And they will continue following my death. One need not fear about the future of music.
Cage, John. Silence: Lectures and Writings, 50th Anniversary Edition (p. 8). Wesleyan University Press. Kindle Edition.
It was quiet. Very quiet. The Macquarie chamber is huge, maybe a 20m cube, suspended independently from the building. You cross a moat of sorts, and all sounds/vibrations are isolated [there's a train line underneath but you'd never konw]. It has a floor like a trampoline, and you are suspended in the middle. Huge cheese block acoustic wedges occupy every part of the wall.
I sat quietly, the door gently clicked shut. I brought a mask to black the light out completely, so as to have the "full experience". And I enjoyed my time. How long? Around 20 minutes, then later that day I came back again, as I'd forgotten to activate the recording. And did it all again, thanks to the fantastic staff.
What happened? It was quiet. I already said that, didn't I? And then … nothing happened. Except … I became aware, after a short time, of a very quiet high pitched 'sound' from within … tinnitus. Didn't know I had some. Then a strange rhythmic experience, not so much a sound but a sense of a rhythm, and a cross rhythm, a long way 'away' within me. The blood flow of course. Once I had settled with these new sounds of silence, I sate quietly until I heard the click of the huge door opening.
I became the source of sound. I could hear myself. Not an internal dialogue, but an internal soundscape, an internal experience representing itself to my brain as sound, my sound.
But the quiet to be honest was no more quiet than a meditative state or self-hypnosis. In fact, my perception of quiet is perhaps now under challenge, as the anechoic chamber was not as quiet as I thought it would be.

oa The "value" of dialect as object
The case of Appalachian English
Author(s): Anita Puckett
Source: Pragmatics, Volume 13, Issue 4, Jan 2003, p. 539 - 549
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1075/prag.13.4.05puc
This paper focuses on whether the concept of "speech variety" has value as a material-like "object" and whether academic research and outreach study a particular variety can "profit" both community residents using the variety and the academic community valuing the research on it. It examines these issues by exploring how economic processes of "valuation" apply to the discursive circulation of the proper noun Appalachian English and its logotype AE in communities using grammatical forms diagnostic of it. It draws upon ethnographic and interview data from southeastern Kentucky and southwest Virginia communities to argue that linguistic misrecognition of these forms constitute a redirected system of valuation that contradicts and undercuts the overt denotational function of Appalachian English in the academic or popular discursive contexts in which they appear. Examining the pragmatics and semantics of possessive pronoun construction, this paper further concludes that Appalachian English does not and cannot circulate as a valued noun in the existing verbal repertoire of the communities examined. What constitutes acceptable and authoritative knowledge instead becomes "stored" in Appalachian English so that its value is in its potential monopoly of knowledge sparingly distributed under specific protocols distributed by "professionals".

Eitan Ventures, LLC v Peeled, Inc., 2012 NY Slip Op 03085 (1st Dept., 2012)
When construing a contract, the most important consideration is to give effect to the parties' intentions (Federal Ins. Co v Americas Ins. Co., 258 AD2d 39, 44 [1999]). To ascertain those intentions, a court should examine the contract as a whole and interpret its parts with reference to the whole (see Kass v Kass, 91 NY2d 554, 566-567 [1998]).
Kaplan v Madison Park Group Owners, LLC, 2012 NY Slip Op 03086 (1st Dept., 2012)
By definition an anticipatory breach cannot be committed by a party already in material breach of an executory contract. It is well settled that an anticipatory breach of a contract is one that occurs before performance by the breaching party is due. For example, in Norcon Power Partners v Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. (92 NY2d 458 [1998]) the Court of Appeals defined an anticipatory repudiation as one that occurs "prior to the time designated for performance" (id. at 462-463). Consistently, in American List Corp. v U.S. News & World Report (75 NY2d 38 [1989]) the Court defined an anticipatory breach in terms of "a wrongful repudiation of the contract by one party before the time for performance" (id. at 44). Applying New York law, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held that "[a]nticipatory repudiation occurs when, before the time for performance has arisen, a party to a contract declares his intention not to fulfill a contractual duty" (Lucente v International Bus. Machs. Corp., 310 F3d 243, 258 [2d Cir 2002] [citations omitted]). The rationale behind the doctrine of anticipatory breach is that it gives the non-repudiating party an opportunity to treat a repudiation as an anticipatory breach without having to futilely tender performance or wait for the other party's time for performance to arrive (see Cooper v Bosse, 85 AD2d 616, 618 [1981]). As noted above, plaintiffs were in default as of July 27, 2009, two days before the letter was sent. Once plaintiffs defaulted on July 27, Lipman did not have to tender performance or wait for a law date because [*3]he could have resorted to the contractual remedies for plaintiffs' breach set forth under paragraph 13. Accordingly, the July 29, 2009 letter did not give rise to an anticipatory repudiation because it was not issued "prior to the time designated for performance" within the meaning of Norcon and the other cases cited above.
Princes Point, LLC v AKRF Eng'g, P.C., 2012 NY Slip Op 02954 (1st Dept., 2012)
Plaintiff's motion to amend the complaint to add additional causes of action was properly denied. Plaintiff's claims for promissory estoppel and fraud relating to the June 2004 contract fail since, pursuant to the contract, the property was being purchased "AS IS . . . AND WITH ALL FAULTS," and plaintiff was relying solely on its own inspections of the property. Thus, plaintiff accepted all defects in the premises and was not relying on any assurances made by defendants as to the condition of the property (see Barnes v Gould, 83 AD2d 900 [1981], affd 55 NY2d 943 [1982). In addition, the proposed promissory estoppel claim is deficient because the contract included a clause stating that it represented the entire understanding between the parties (see Fariello v Checkmate Holdings, LLC, 82 AD3d 437, 438 [2001]).
Furthermore, the new damages sought, consequential and punitive, are unavailable to plaintiff on the claims asserted. Damages for fraud are to compensate plaintiffs for what they [*2]lost, " not to compensate them for what they might have gained'" (Starr Found. v American Intl. Group, Inc., 76 AD3d 25, 27 [2010], quoting Lama Holding Co. v Smith Barney Inc., 88 NY2d 413, 421 [1996]), and punitive damages are not warranted since plaintiff has not alleged wrongdoing evincing a high degree of moral turpitude that demonstrates such wanton dishonesty as to imply a criminal indifference to civil obligations (Ross v Louise Wise Servs., Inc., 8 NY3d 478 [2007]).
Plaintiff failed to plead facts that are sufficient to support a cause of action for prima facie tort because the allegations do not establish that defendants' purportedly tortious conduct was motivated by an otherwise lawful act performed with the intent to injure or with a "disinterested malevolence" (see Curiano v Suozzi, 63 NY2d 113, 117 [1984]; Kleinerman v 245 E. 87 Tenants Corp., 74 AD3d 448 [2010]). Plaintiff's allegation of malevolence is contrary to its allegation concerning defendants' alleged profit motives (see Meridian Capital Partners, Inc. v Fifth Ave. 58/59 Acquisition Co. L.P., 60 AD3d 434 [2009]).
Josephson LLC v Column Fin., Inc., 2012 NY Slip Op 02588 (1st Dept., 2012)
Defendants contend that the breach of contract cause of action should be dismissed because the subject contract expressly prohibits oral modifications and the alleged oral agreement is barred by the Statute of Frauds (see General Obligations Law § 15-301). Plaintiffs failed to raise an issue of fact whether there was a partial performance of the contract that would permit enforcement of the oral modification (see F. Garofalo Elec. Co. v New York Univ., 270 AD2d 76, 80-81 [2000], lv dismissed 95 NY2d 825 [2000]). The act they identify as partial performance, i.e., the delivery of the purchase price to the title company, is not "unequivocally referable" to the oral modification; it can also reasonably be regarded as preparatory to performing the contract (see e.g. Merrill Lynch Interfunding, Inc. v Argenti, 155 F3d 113, 122-123 [1998]). Further, the record demonstrates that the parties did not agree on all the material terms of the alleged oral agreement. The deposition testimony upon which plaintiffs rely reflects a mere agreement to agree (see e.g. Meyers Assoc., L.P. v Conolog Corp., 61 AD3d 547 [2009]). [*2]
Plaintiffs abandoned their remaining claims by failing to oppose the parts of defendants' motion that sought summary judgment dismissing those claims.
Garber v Stevens, 2012 NY Slip Op 02437 (1st Dept., 2012)
Defendants' affirmative defenses of fraud and/or unconscionability, which were not asserted in their answer or raised on a prior motion, were properly rejected (see BMX Worldwide v Coppola N.Y.C., 287 AD2d 383, 384 [2001]).
Defendants' reliance on plaintiffs' silence and inaction to establish the defenses of waiver and/or equitable estoppel is misplaced (Fundamental Portfolio Advisors, Inc. v Tocqueville Asset Mgt., L.P., 7 NY3d 96, 105-107 [2006]; EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. v ESPN, Inc., 79 AD3d 614, 617 [2010]. Plaintiffs did not discover many of the acts about which they now complain until long after they entered into the agreement, in part, because of defendants' subterfuge and violation of that agreement. Moreover, defendants' last alleged violation occurred in 2005, the same year the complaint was filed.
Finally, laches is unavailable as a defense to the claims of breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and for the return of management fees, which, although brought together as a derivative action, are not equitable in nature (see e.g. Cadlerock, L.L.C. v Renner, 72 AD3d 454, 454 [2010]; see also Pfeiffer v Berke, 4 Misc 2d 918 [Sup Ct, Kings County 1953]).
