Maybe I don't need to understand, but my science self wants otherwise.
I completely understand this, since my brain works the same way. One of the things that frustrated me and made it so hard for me to deal wit my anxiety without professional help is that anxiety is so very emotional and emotion based, and emotions can't be logicked into making rational sense because they don't work that way. It was driving me metaphorically crazy for a while before the therapist I was seeing at the time helped me understand it better. My over-thinking geek brain needs to understand how things work before I can start actually doing anything at all with them... the lack of insight makes me anxious.
Unfortunately it's all out of pocket for now until I can get the public health insurance. Then that will cover only about 60% of the cost. But ok maybe I shouldn't be too hasty because of one thing. I should also explain to him that I've developed a bit of a goal aversion due to constantly failing at them. He did say we could also just talk, so maybe I can do that to see if he's willing to answer questions.
Oh that is sucky and wrong! There are enough mental and emotional hurdles to overcome, against seeking mental health care. Adding a financial hurdle is just dumb.
With regards to the therapist and how to approach future sessions: You are running this show. Not that you can tell him how to treat you or what to prescribe (if he can do that) or anything like that, but you are entirely in charge of what to talk about. If you don't want to discuss a specific topic, it won't be discussed. If you want to just talk, to get to know the therapist better while you work on deciding if he's a good fit for what you need to get out of therapy, then that's what will happen.
I was very apprehensive and uncomfortable when I first started with therapy, and I think you it's impressive, and very brave, that you keep trying it despite having a couple of negative experience with therapists in the past. You've got this.
The Great Reading Thread of 2023
"I've always believed that failure is non-existent. What is failure? You go to the end of the season, then you lose the Super Bowl. Is that failing? To most people, maybe. But when you're picking apart why you failed, and now you're learning from that, then is that really failing? I don't think so." - Kobe Bryant, 1978-2020. Rest in peace, great warrior.

This is a really good question. Probably both of them are real, but maybe there is a third one in the middle that is a bit easier to live with? ^^
Love this! Yay for pole! And climbing! Sounds like you had a great day.
The third one fluctuates between contentment and intense urges to set everything on fire because stable is boring.
I really did!

Lots of useful & fun things to do since I am put on this floating space rock anyway. Option A all the way, dammit. A+ (with zestiness) as often as possible.
Useful I don't know, but fun sure!

Emotions are dumb. But it I find it comforting to understand a bit about how brains work and why they're dumb. Even if it doesn't help in logicking in your way out of emotions.
SO DUMB. And it becomes prohibitively expensive for so many people, it's quite upsetting! For myself I'd be ok with spending the money (sort of) if I knew it'd help, but I'm still apprehensive about it in case it's a complete waste...
Thank you I'll keep this in mind.
Aww thanks.
Today was one of those strange days when I was restless and bored but also couldn't get started on anything because of too many options and resistance and then I was sort of tired anyway.
BUT I fixed a couple of cabinet doors that were driving me insane. One of them hadn't been able to close properly for a year, but that was only somewhat annoying so I ignored it. The other door had its top hinge come off a few days ago and that was just unbearable because I use that cabinet all the time. It took all of 30 seconds to screw it back in.
I also finally sharpened my knives with the whetstones I got for christmas! I only did my two more, uhmm rustic, ones to practice on. I had no idea I'd find it sooooo relaxing, hypnotic even with the ASMR sound and the swooshing motion, particularly on the coarser stone. The only problem is that sometimes I would zone out completely and suddenly find myself sharpening at a different angle. Whatevs, they're still much sharper than before. I seriously think all of my more anxiously inclined friends should look into this in case you find it soothing too.
Daytime walk
Other self care See above. I also collated a list of questions, concerns and goals (the best I can do right now) for the next therapy session.

Suddenly, the scenes of warriors and assassins sitting silently sharpening their knives make sense
I noticed it even with the silly cheap knife sharpener-keyholder type thing. A whetstone one sounds awesone. And sharp knives are so satisfying. Except for cutting stuff in your hands/without a cutting board and being used to my neglected knife, and then suddenly it's sharp but I forgot I'd sharpened it. Ouch

Your theorizations are super helpful! I love hearing all of your suggestions and perspectives. For example, right now it forces me to pick apart the difference between gut feeling and knee-jerk reaction. And how best to approach the next session or next therapist.
Ah, good to know our musings have some utility.
Right. Same. That's why we keep trying.
Right on.

Does this not count as a walk?!
...but I'm adorable! Ask anyone who doesn't know me...
GOOOO WEDNESDAY!
Even if, totally. They're not worth less bc of the company they keep.
it's a sort of buffer that causes me to overlook the red. I guess the ratios matter.

Thank you for the most excellent reminder.
The problem with red is that it's so nice and bright... But I'll try for more greens tomorrow!
I feel like Mondays are either one of two things. Either I'm ready to take on the world and get all the things done, or I have zero mojo and have to drag myself to do anything. Sadly, it's usually the latter of the two

I like them. They are important and well recieved. Keep 'em coming! Also: Greeeeen. A little red just compliments it. ^^

Complementary colors, nice - I like your way of thinking.
1. Why did I put on the laundry at 9.30 pm when I know it takes almost 3 hours?
2. Where did the mystery ear bud cover I found in the bathroom sink come from? No, it's not mine.
3. What is the purpose of the leek I bought two days ago? I still can't figure it out.
Daytime walk I skived off work.
Other self care Much adult. Cleaned the kitchen. And the bathroom. Doing laundry.

1. Because late laundry is better than digging through dirty clothes looking for something passable to wear.
2. Static cling on a shirt from being out and about somewhere?
3. Ooh, I know this one! Because leeks are delicious and your subconscious made sure you'd have one at home to eat. The poor leek's life purpose was to be eaten. Don't disappoint it.

That is certainly one use....


It seems that philosophical discussions of any issue lead nowhere, since disputes are bound to arise whatever answer is given to a philosophical question. Discussion of any philosophical question seems to lead only to endless series of arguments and counter-arguments. On the other hand, whatever happens in philosopical discussions and debates seems to make no difference to our ordinary life - science goes on, religion goes on, anti-religious ideologies go on, society goes on. So, wouldn't it be better to devote our time and intellectual resources to things that make difference (i.e. to practical things or theoretical things that make practical difference)?
Many beginning students of philosophy are led to ask questions of this kind. I can sympathize: a philosophy course can seem to consist of arguments and counterarguments, intuitions and counterexamples, with no final resolution offered to any of the questions taken up, and simply an array of failed proposals littering the playing field. How depressing.
But any course that leaves students with this impression has failed. Utterly.
Arguments and counterarguments, intuitions and counterexamples reveal a lot that was not known before. A good counterexample can reveal features of the phenomenon that would never otherwise have been noticed. So even if the philosophical theory that has been "counterexampled" has thereby been defeated, we come away from the process learning something important that we did not know before. Such is certainly the case with, for instance, Gettier counterexamples to theories of knowledge as justified-true-belief, or counterexamples to various simple counterfactual theories of causal relations, or counterexamples to Hempel's deductive-nomological theory of scientific explanation. These arguments reveal important features of knowledge, causal relations, and scientific explanation (respectively) that we need to understand better.
My point is that a failed philosophical theory does not simply leave us as ignorant as we were before. This kind of progress in our philosophical understanding should be evident in a philosophy course if one steps back from the trees (a series of proposals, objections, replies, and so forth) and examines the forest.
The questioner asks whether any of these seemingly endless philosophical disputes makes any "practical" difference. Of course, one could respond that philosophy does not have to make any "practical" difference to be valuable. (The same goes for science, math, music, literature, and other valuable activities.) But rather than respond so high-handedly (though correctly), I would prefer to take up the question on its own terms. Let's look at an example.
Many philosophers have concocted outrageous hypotheses that nevertheless seem to fit our observations just as well as common-sense does. Think of Descartes's discussions of perpetual dreams or malevolent demons, for instance, or Hume's questions about how we are justified in "thickening" our ontological picture with material objects that continue to exist even when we are not perceptually aware of them. These may appear to be the most academic, artificial sorts of issues. Yet the questions that one is led to ask in connection with these cases, and the moves that one is led to make in thinking about some such hypothesis, have had immense "practical" implications. Einstein's theory of relativity was motivated precisely by asking how we are justified in "thickening" our ontological picture with absolute space and time, the aether and the electric field, when none of these is directly observable. Einstein himself cites Hume and Mach as important influences on his thinking in this regard. Questions about the empirical basis for belief in material objects and questions about the empirical basis for belief in absolute simultaneity are not far apart. The same philosophical toolkit that was developed in connection with the former sort of question was deployed with great "practical" effect by Einstein in connection with the latter sort of question.

Die Stiftung Kunst(Zeug)Haus in Rapperswil-Jona betreibt ein Kunstmuseum auf dem Areal des Alten Zeughauses, das mit mehr als 7000 Werken eine umfangreiche Sammlung Schweizer Gegenwartskunst beherbergt, die in regelmässigen Ausstellungen präsentiert wird.

Geschichte
Die Stiftung Kunst(Zeug)Haus existiert seit dem 20. Dezember 2006. Damals brachten das Ehepaar Peter (1942–2018) und Elisabeth (* 1942) Bosshard ihre Kunstsammlung mit rund 4000 Werken und ein Anfangskapital ein. Vor der Stiftungsgründung wurde ein Standort der Sammlung gesucht, da das Ehepaar den Wunsch hegte, die Sammlung dauerhaft und langfristig der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. Die Idee des Amtes für Kultur des Kantons St. Gallen, die Sammlung Bosshard im Haus Mariasee in Weesen unterzubringen, hatte in Rapperswil Widerstand zur Folge. Da bot sich das Zeughaus 2 des Zeughausareals mit seinen 2600 m2 Nutzfläche als neuer Standort an. Im Frühling 2006 wurde ein Wettbewerb unter vier eingeladenen Architekturbüros ausgeschrieben: Gigon/Guyer und Stürm/Wolf Architekten aus Zürich, Marcel Ferrier aus St. Gallen und Oberholzer+Rüegg aus Rapperswil reichten Projekte ein, Isa Stürm und Urs Wolf mit ihrem Projekt «Walfisch» siegten.

Der am 1. Januar 2007 verwirklichte Zusammenschluss der Gemeinden Rapperswil und Jona zur Stadt Rapperswil-Jona bot eine Plattform, um auch auf dem Gebiet der Kultur ein Zeichen zu setzen. Am 4. April 2007 hiess die Bürgerversammlung von Rapperswil-Jona einen Beitrag an den Umbau des Zeughauses 2 gut. Am 5. April 2007 beschloss der St. Galler Kantonsrat, einen Beitrag an den Umbau sowie an den Kauf des Zeughauses zu leisten. Sowohl der Kanton als auch die Stadt sagten der Stiftung zudem einen jährlichen Beitrag an den Ausstellungsbetrieb zu. Noch immer fehlten jedoch erhebliche Mittel: Um das Manko auszufüllen, konnten die Gebert Stiftung für Kultur, das Stifterehepaar und eine Anzahl Sponsoren gewonnen werden. Insgesamt kam der Kauf, der Umbau und die Einrichtung des Hauses auf CHF 8 Millionen zu stehen. Am 6. Juni 2007 war Baubeginn, am 14. September gleichen Jahres Aufrichte und am 17. März 2008 war der Umbau vollendet.

Die erste Kuratorin war Elisabeth Grossmann (2008–2010). In der Folge wurde das Kunst(Zeug)Haus von Daniela Hardmeier (2010–2013) und Peter Stohler (2013–2018) geleitet. Seit Januar 2019 zeichnen die Co-Direktorinnen Céline Gaillard und Simone Kobler verantwortlich.

Architektur

Das ehemalige, 1904 vom Bund erbaute Zeughaus 2 steht an der Neuen Jonastrasse, der gradlinigen Verbindungsachse zwischen den beiden Zentren von Rapperswil und Jona. Der längsrechteckige Bau, der vorerst der Lagerung von militärischen Gerätschaften diente und später von Kleinbetrieben als Werkstätten und Lager genutzt wurde, ist mit seinem dreieckigen Platz Teil des Zeughausareals.

Im städtebaulichen Kontext seiner heterogenen Nachbarschaft zeigt das Kunst(Zeug)Haus heute eigenständige architektonische Eingriffe mit umbraschwarzem Anstrich, 14 kupfergrünen Toren, magentafarbenem Eingangstor und organisch-geschwungener Dachkonstruktion. Hochwertige Materialien, wie etwa der für die massiven Werksteine der Tore verwendete Tessiner Granit, und die langjährige Pflege des Gebäudes durch das Zeughauspersonal sicherten die Bausubstanz.

Das Raumprogramm beinhaltet drei Ausstellungsräume. Einer liegt im Erdgeschoss, der grosse Ausstellungssaal ist im Obergeschoss mit der «Robinson-Bibliothek» sowie das «grafische Kabinett», der sogenannte «Seitenwagen», ebenfalls im Obergeschoss. Weiter finden sich ein Foyer mit Empfang/Museumscafé sowie Toiletten und Garderobe, ein Sammlungslager, eine Werkstatt, einen Workshopraum für die Kunstvermittlung sowie Büroräumlichkeiten.

Den wichtigsten Eingriff erfuhr das Zeughaus im Obergeschoss, wo örtlich die Dachsparren angehoben wurden, sodass sanft geschwungene Linien entstanden. In traditioneller Zimmermannsarbeit wurden die neuen Sparren angesetzt und in die Form gerichtet. Eine unsichtbare, ringförmige, dünne Betonplatte nimmt die Schubkräfte auf und leitet sie über Verbunddübel auf die Holzstruktur ab. Darüber haben Zimmermann, Dachdecker und Spengler die Holzschalung, die transluziden Polycarbonatplatten des Lichtbandes und die Titanzinkbleche in windschiefe Flächen gezogen und mit geschuppten Firstblechen abgedeckt. Inspiriert wurden die Architekten von der Papierfaltkunst Origami sowie durch die mehrdimensional gekrümmte Form des Philips Pavillon («Poème électronique»), den Le Corbusier mit Iannis Xenakis für die Weltausstellung von 1958 in Brüssel entwarf.

Weil bewusst eine «White Cube»-Situation vermieden wurde, vermochte das Zeughaus seine bisherige Eigenart zu bewahren. Das weiss gestrichene Holzwerk und der sandfarbene, auf die alten Holzriemen gegossene Anhydrit-Boden sollen zur Beruhigung des Raumes beitragen.

In einem Geviert aus sägerohem Tannenholz und Duripanelplatten befindet sich im Ausstellungsraum die sogenannte Robinson-Bibliothek mit einer bedeutenden Sammlung von Robinson-Literatur und Robinsonaden.

Sammlung
Von einem zweijährigen Aufenthalt in New York in die Schweiz zurückgekehrt, tätigten Peter und Elisabeth Bosshard 1971 im Museum zu Allerheiligen in Schaffhausen – wo beide aufwuchsen – den ersten Kauf: das Acrylbild Animal metaphysicum (1969) von Alex Sadkowsky, von Peter Bosshard in Anlehnung an den Roman von Thomas Mann «Zauberberg» genannt. Anstatt dem renditeorientierten Vorgehen des internationalen Kunstmarkts nachzueifern, entscheidet sich das Ehepaar von Anfang an für das Feld der Schweizer Gegenwartskunst. Nicht etwa aus patriotischen Erwägungen, sondern aus der Überzeugung heraus, dass die Kunstlandschaft Schweiz – auch an Unentdecktem – einen grossen Facettenreichtum zu bieten hat.

Obschon das Stifterehepaar mit vielen Kunstschaffenden gut befreundet war und ist und es einfach gewesen wäre, direkt aus ihren Ateliers zu kaufen, wurde die vermittelnde Galeristin bzw. der vermittelnde Galerist nicht ausgelassen. Peter und Elisabeth Bosshard schätzten die Funktion des Zwischenhändlers.

Herzstück der Sammlung waren bis zur Eröffnung des Kunst(Zeug)Hauses zuerst ein Schaulager in einer ehemaligen Seidenweberei in Uznach (1985–1995) und danach drei Hallen in einer ehemaligen Spinnerei in Jona. Dazu kommen die mit Kunstwerken reich bestückte Anwaltskanzlei in Zürich und die Wohnung in Rapperswil. Aber auch andernorts, in Schulen, Kanzleien oder Hotels, waren Ableger der Sammlung zu finden. Überzeugt, dass der Besitz von Kunst zur Öffentlichkeit verpflichte, ging das Ehepaar Bosshard grosszügig mit Leihgaben um. Die Sammlung wurde auch mehrfach im musealen Kontext gezeigt, so beispielsweise 1996 im Kunsthaus Glarus («Sammlung Peter und Elisabeth Bosshard»), 1997 im Museum zu Allerheiligen, 1999 im Kunstverein Konstanz und mehrfach in der Alten Fabrik in Rapperswil: 2002 («Neuerwerbungen»), 2005 («Langläufer») und 2007 («Schwarz auf Weiss»).

Zu Malerei, Zeichnung und Druckgrafik – mit einem besonderen Augenmerk auf Künstlerbücher –, zu Skulptur und Objekt gesellen sich neuere Ausdrucksformen wie Fotografie, Video sowie installative Arbeiten. Erschien es für die Sammlungsstruktur richtig, den Entwicklungsweg einer Künstlerin oder eines Künstlers nachzuzeichnen, erwarb das Sammlerehepaar periodisch aktuelle Werke, nicht selten in Serie. Die Sammlung umfasst rund 800 Schweizer Künstler. Rund 30 davon bezeichneten Bosshards als «Langläufer». Von ihnen befinden sich Werkgruppen von jeweils ein paar Dutzend bis zu über hundert Arbeiten in der Sammlung und dokumentieren gleichsam einzelne Lebenswerke. Zu den «Langläufern» gehören Luigi Archetti, Ueli Berger, Klaus Born, Rita Ernst, Marcel Gähler, Stefan Gritsch, Alexander Hahn, Alex Hanimann, Peter Z. Herzog, Andreas Hofer, Gregor Lanz, Otto Lehmann, Carlos Matter, Al Meier, Thomas Müllenbach, Flavio Paolucci, Christian Rothacher, Alex Sadkowsky, Mario Sala, Claude Sandoz, Timmermahn, Adrian Schiess, Klaudia Schifferle, Bernhard Schobinger, Annelies Štrba, Hugo Suter, Rolf Winnewisser, Uwe Wittwer und Beat Zoderer.

Biographical Sketch of Dr. Joseph Gerson
Dr. Joseph Gerson at a World Conference
against A- and H- Bombs in Hiroshima, Japan
Dr. Joseph Gerson has served the American Friends Service committee since 1976 and is currently Director of Programs and Director of the Peace and Economic Security Program for the AFSC in New England. He supervises AFSC programs in five states that work on a broad range of peace, social and economic justice issues, and he is actively involved in national AFSC working groups. He focuses on challenging U.S. foreign, military and domestic doctrines designed to reinforce global hegemony and to replace them with commitments to common security. His program work focuses on preparations for and threats to initiate nuclear war, Washington's global infrastructure of military bases and installations, and its military domination of the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
He has been involved in the U.S. justice and peace movements since the mid-1960s, when he became active on the margins of the Civil Rights Movement. As a Vietnam-era draft resister, he was Director of Arizonans for Peace and Field Representative for Clergy and Laity Concerned about Vietnam. Following the signing of the Paris Peace Accords, he joined the staff of the War Resisters' International in London and Brussels, where he was privileged to work with extraordinary people who had resisted World War I, Nazi rule and occupations, leading figures from across the Middle East working for resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian and other regional conflicts, and with people who later launched the European nuclear disarmament movement of the 1980s. While in Europe, he served on the board of the International Confederation for Disarmament and Peace.
His work with AFSC has included helping to launch the Nuclear Freeze movement of the 1980s, preventing New England harbors from being transformed into nuclear weapons bases, helping to build the U.S. and global anti-bases and nuclear weapons abolition movements, and helping to create peace and anti-war coalitions in the Boston area, across New England, and to lesser extents nationally and internationally.
His recent work has focused on education, organizing and mobilization to end the U.S. war and occupation in Iraq, preventing nuclear war and advancing the struggle for nuclear weapons abolition, establishing the global "No Bases Network" and integrating U.S. anti-bases networks, and peaceful resolution of the U.S.-Iran confrontation. His book Empire and the Bomb: How the United States Uses Nuclear Weapons to Dominate the World was published by Pluto Books and the University of Michigan Press in April, 2007. This past spring he led a U.S. peace movement delegation to China, and he is currently in the midst of organizing two major peace movement conferences: a national no-bases conference at American University in Washington, D.C. (Feb. 28/March 1) and the New England-wide Peace Movement Priorities conference scheduled for Tufts University March 27 & 28.
Building on three decades of collaboration with Asian and European peace movement, since Sept. 11, 2001, he has played a unique role in linking these movements to resist the Bush Administration's global military crusade and its efforts to impose "the arrangement for the 21st century." In addition to working with Asian and European peace and justice movements, he participated in the launch conferences of the Asia Peace Assembly, the European Network for Peace and Human Rights, and the No Bases Network, and he remains actively deeply engaged with each. He has also played the lead role in organizing three New England Wide post-9-11 peace and justice organizing conferences
Over the past year has given keynote talks at the World Conference against A- and H- Bombs in Hiroshima, at the No Bases Conference in Quito, Ecuador, lectured in Korea and Japan and given numerous talks across the United States.. In the same period, he has published articles analyzing the U.S. Congressional election, U.S. nuclear weapons and war policies, alternatives to the U.S. war in Iraq and threats against Iran, U.S. efforts to create permanent military bases in Iraq, and the global infrastructure of U.S. military bases. His work with AFSC, Peace Action and the N.H. Council of Churches contributed to Senator Obama committing to negotiate the complement elimination of nuclear weapons if elected and to Senator Clinton's commitment to sharply reduce the U.S. nuclear arsenal
In 2004, he was a leading organizer of the Boston Social Forum and, in conjunction with the European Network for Peace and Human Rights, organized an international peace conference - "A World Working Together For Peace" - within the Boston Social Forum. He was also involved in organizing or supporting peace demonstrations during the Democratic and Republican national conventions. He helped to build popular pressure on the U.S. and other nuclear powers during the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty Review Conference approaches in Spring. 2005.
In association with Focus on Global South, he has worked to help launch the "No U.S. Bases" network, a network that includes more than 100 organizations in more than 40 countries, and he has worked closely with anti-bases activists and scholars in the United States and globally.
His previous books include The Sun Never Sets…Confronting the Network of Foreign U.S. Military Bases and With Hiroshima Eyes: Atomic War, Nuclear Extortion, and Moral Imagination.. His work with A & H Bomb survivors, including Korean A-bomb survivors, has included organizing many speaking tours in the U.S., and co-organizing "Global Hibakusha" and delegations to the Vancouver World Peace Forum, the Hague Peace Appeal, and the United National NGO Millennium conference.
Joseph Gerson has spoken at numerous international conferences, lectured at more than 70 U.S. colleges and universities, and spoken to and worked with countless community-based peace and justice organizations. He is a Vietnam era draft resister who received his under graduate degree from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service in 1968 and his PhD in Politics and International Security Studies from the Union Institute and College in 1995.

An assortment of apologies produced a quartet of strollers for today's morning walk around Marple Bridge. We were pleased to see AlanR, who had set off in the middle of the night to get to the rendezvous point almost on time.
We started from the free car park opposite Brabyn's Park, picked up Alan at the station, and headed past the tennis courts to join the Peak Forest Canal towpath on a sunny autumn morning.
The aqueduct over the Goyt Valley from which the following picture was taken is impressive in itself; built in 1799 it remains (at 27.4 metres) the highest canal aqueduct in England and the highest masonry-arch aqueduct in Britain. It looks up to the even more impressive railway viaduct that dates from 1865.
Thirty years ago these paths were a favourite route for excursions with my children. Kate would walk, with Mike in a push chair. I remember it being muddy, but not quite this muddy. Both Alan and Graham tested the electric fence on the right.
"Quite a kick" observed Alan.
Luckily the horses in the field weren't of the kicking variety, though they did whinge about not being allowed to share in the chocolate chip cookies that were being handed around.
Appeased by chocolate, nobody complained too aggressively when told that the episode of mud and electricity was a mistake.
So we returned through the mud to pass in front of Lower Watermeetings Farm on a well marked footpath. We were soon beside the River Etherow, leaving it to climb steeply and cross the road above Compstall. Today's route then continued along a path I'd not walked before, beside Gigg Brook to a footbridge.
From the footbridge, Sue insisted that I took a photo of these impressive fungi. I've failed to identify them I'm afraid.
After taking the narrow lane past Campville Farm we descended Mortin Clough to reach the wide paths of Etherow Country Park. There were lots of people taking advantage of the sunny weather to walk their dogs and children.
Etherow Country Park appears to be a haven for Mandarin Ducks. There were many smart looking specimens, and the ladies were in much better shape than 'Mandy', our local lonesome mandarin who thinks she's a mallard.
There was a mine around here, and several mills, some of which are still standing, as there was plenty of water to provide power. There's a small lake in the Country Park, which was once the mill pond. Following the closure of the mills the area became one of England's first Country Parks, later gaining SSSI status in 1977.
We paused for coffees all round at the excellent café at the entrance to the park where 'special needs' staff are sympathetically employed.
Across the road is a sad building, the George Hotel.
In days quite long past, when I arranged Wednesday evening walks all summer to provide a mid week respite from stressful work, the George was a thriving pub with good beer and a superb bowling green that always seemed to be in use. Somewhere, buried within several large boxes of photos and negatives, I'll have pictures of it in that heyday of around 20 to 30 years ago. If I find one I'll insert it here. Meanwhile, the internet claims that the following image shows the Hotel in its 'heyday'.
Just up the road, a path leads over an iron bridge into Brabyn's Park.
The carriage bridge dates from 1813, just a few years after the canal was opened. It's a historic cast iron structure, made in Salford Iron Works, and it survived until 1990 with very little maintenance. But then it was declared unsafe and a Bailey bridge was used whilst funds were raised for restoration work that was completed in 2008. So I've probably crossed by the Bailey bridge (now dismantled) more often than by this lovely old iron bridge.
A stroll beside the river brought us out opposite the car park, with plenty of time for Alan to wander back up to the station and rendezvous with Sheila in Manchester. The rest of us returned home for lunch.
Here's our route – 9 km with 170 metres ascent, taking about 2.5 hours.
AlanR's excellent report, featuring much better pictures of the aqueduct and viaduct, is here. Thanks Alan.
This rather smart Fendt Farmer 2 supports AlanR's colour coding observations detailed in his comment on the previous 'tractor' posting.
Thanks for the excellent picture, Nick.
The Fendt Farmer 2 is a nice machine. Not cheap. Made in the early '60s. I have never managed to see one close up but I did know it from brochures. A 3 cylinder engine producing about 45 hip. The tractor never had a cab as standard, it was an add on accessory. You can tell by looking at it that the cab just doesn't look right. They weren't into operator comfort then. That front screen must have cost a fortune to produce and it was also hinged so that it would push outwards. Why they wanted this I'm not sure, it seems over elaborate. Thanks for sharing the picture.
This one is registered in Erlangen-Hochstadt in beautiful Bavaria. (I had to look that up).
Thanks Alan, I thought this extra information was worthy of inclusion in the main text.
The two 'perfect angels' visited us recently whilst their parents got trapped in a room. Unfortunately they managed to escape, so the 'angels' had to be returned.
But not before Jessica had constructed a giant and subsequently very tasty crumble from some of the many apples that seem to be flying our way just now.
Meanwhile, Jacob…. was doing 'boy angel' stuff.
Just for a change, Sue and I pedalled along the towpath to Sale Water Park for today's parkrun.
Considering it was only their third run, the organisers were pretty efficient and we enjoyed a sedate jog along the scenic course.
It's not fast, as much of the riverside path is over broken stones and rubble, all part of the water management system that should prevent our houses being flooded following a severe storm in the Peak District.
The 'there and back' route runs from the Visitor Centre, beside the river to the end of the Water Park, then alongside the Water Park to a point where it doubles back for 500 metres on a parallel path, before returning along the same route to the start. We met just a handful of the leading runners on their return, before the path divided.
Sue and I, both nursing our injuries, took a shade under 30 minutes. I finished in position 180 out of 257 finishers. The full results are here.
Afterwards we caught up briefly with Andy Wright, who may have adopted this venue as his 'home' run, before pedalling on for 15 minutes to spot the last finishers at Wythenshawe parkrun, enjoy a coffee in the Courtyard Café, and help with sorting the finishing tokens for next week.
Note that my old mapping hasn't caught up with the relatively new Metrolink line to the airport that crosses the River Mersey near Jackson's Bridge. I must upgrade my Anquet maps.
Judging by the logo, I would guess that AlanR will come back with something like 'made in Middlesbrough on a Tuesday afternoon in 1965, painted in the colour of the last trolley bus to pass Ayresome Park before the overhead lines were removed, and exported to Holland shortly before the Teesside Docks closed'.
So how come it finished up in Germany?
Thanks Nick – you might have made AlanR happy enough to treat us to a coffee tomorrow!
Another Friday, another short walk, this time from Timperley Bridge to Altrincham, via the Swan with Two Nicks and Dunham Massey, on a drizzly morning.
So after waiting until the designated hour spotting vintage cars on Timperley Bridge, I stumbled off into the gloom.
Well, it wasn't too gloomy, just a dullish autumn day – here's the view south west from the bridge; some good sunrises can be seen from here. But not today.
On the way past Altrincham, I paused at Broadheath to take a couple of 'update' pictures of the remains of the Linotype buildings. The roofs of new houses can be seen to the right of the scaffolding.
Further on, the Bridgewater Canal exuded an aura of serenity, with the resident mallards taking life very easy in the warm weather.
This well trodden route leaves the canal at Little Bollington to pass the Swan with Two Nicks, after which the River Bollin is crossed and the Dunham Massey estate is entered. After a stile, a Grade II listed building constructed around 1616 is passed. It's a sawmill, and it still operates from time to time.
Before crossing the golf course, the path from which leads to the centre of Altrincham via a variety of routes (I commend exploring them for yourself – many are mentioned in these pages under the 'Altrincham' or 'Dunham Massey' tabs) it's a 20 metre diversion to visit the excellent Lavender Barn Tea Room. Today their 'Red Velvet' cake – involving beetroot - was absolutely yummy.
Afternoon tea for two looks fantastic. It's a shame that it was morning, and I was on my own!

September 24, 2008 - GeoTracing technology is the basis of the 7scenes platform.
Feb 14, 2007 (!). Lavitaebella walks a heart.
GeoTracing is a software platform for creating multimedial geo-applications. These applications have in common that they allow you to tell your multimedial story about your movement through the landscape, whether on foot, skates, by bike or other means. View for example the TraceLand application. You can there sign up and download the MobiTracer mobile client.
The following applications have been or are being developed with GeoTracing. The main line of development is now (2008) done within the 7scenes platform.
The main concept is depicted above. The MobiTracer is a personalized Java (J2ME) application running on a mobile phone. MobiTracer reads GPS location data from a Bluetooth GPS module and sends it to a server. Within a browser the routes followed by MobiTracers can be viewed. Each MobiTracer can also be followed in real-time moving over the map. In addition the MobiTracer can send track-annotations in the form of media (images/video/audio/text) ratings (e.g. road-conditions). to the server. Annotations are shown at their geographic locations on the map. The server stores all data in a Content Management System (CMS) such that it is available to a wealth of applications like map-creation, geodrawing, playing back routes, geo/mobile-gaming etc.
Through the WebEditor personal tracks can also be managed. For example, you may have a handheld GPS (say a Garmin) that logs tracks for you. You may export those tracks to GPX and upload them to the server. Be sure to add timestamping info. In addition you may submit e.g photo's taken with a digital camera. Through the photo's timestamp these get geo-tagged to their locations (or you may point-and-click). Tracks created through the MobiTracer may be edited and annotated.
The server stores tracks in a Content Management System no matter how they were created.
KeyWorx is the underlying technology for GeoTracing. KeyWorx is developed by Waag Society. Other technologies used are Pushlets (for real-time browser events), AJAX and Google Maps.
Documentation is maintained in the GeoTracing Wiki. This will in the coming time moved to geotracing.codehaus.org.
There is a mailing list at groups.yahoo.com/group/geotracing for first users, developers and other interested parties you may want to join.

Putin is following in Khrushchev's footsteps
20.11.2020	Off	By Admin
Independent journalist,
Zintis Znotiņš
If a person is a liar, they will lie in every aspect of their life. Initially, the person may lie only about significant issues, but as time passes the line between reality and imagination disappears. Can such a person be trusted? It's one thing when the liar is a regular citizen, but it's something else when the liar is a key politician or even the president of a state.
Psychologist Jolanta Cihanoviča explains that lies ruin relationships because they undermine trust. And it is very likely that someone who has been lied to before will not trust the person anymore. "If the liar says that now he can finally be trusted, the victim will refuse to do so because he has already been lied to."
The great writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky has said this about lying: "Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him [..]"
This means that the liar will be the first person to believe their own lies, despite the fact that these lies may have absolutely nothing to do with reality. And those who will be able to identify the lies will no longer trust the liar because they will now believe they're being lied to in every situation.
It's important to determine whether the person, regardless of his post, is lying and whether these are "one-time" lies or systematic ones. If someone lies frequently, people will be more surprised when the person doesn't lie.
All lies are revealed sooner or later. The higher the post of the liar and the greater the lies, the more times it takes for the truth to surface.
I will not lie – I'm no fan of Putin and I often criticize him, despite my position being different from the party's.
But I found it difficult to believe that the head of such a huge and great country could be a simple liar. To get to the bottom of this question once and for all, we will go back in time. Let's look at the facts:
On 4 June 2014, the Kremlin continued denying that Russian soldiers, instructors and mercenaries were present in Eastern Ukraine. This was expressed by Russian President Vladimir Putin to the French TV network TF1 and the radio station Europe1. "There are no Russian forces, no instructors in southeastern Ukraine," Putin said. He also stated that Russia has no intention to annex Ukraine or destabilize the situation in the country. "No, we have never engaged in this [the destabilization] and never will."
On 21 March 2014, the Russian Ministry of Defense's (MoD) Decree No.160 on "The Russian MoD's Medal for the Return of Crimea" introduced a that was first awarded on 24 March.
Is it really possible that the MoD would issue awards that were not intended for the army? Could Putin, being the commander-in-chief, not have been informed about the medal? Can an award be designed and produced in a couple of days, or is this a matter of several months?
On 1 March 2018, Putin publicly announced that Russia possesses weapons that other countries haven't even developed yet. Among these weapons was also a nuclear-powered nuclear-armed missile that has successfully completed all tests. These missiles possess an unlimited range, can switch trajectory and are able to overcome all missile defense systems.
In November 2017, Russia successfully tested a nuclear-powered missile that fell into the Barents Sea. From November 2017 to February 2018, four tests were held and all of them failed. On 15 August 2019, information appeared that "The state nuclear agency Rosatom revealed that it has been testing a nuclear-powered missile but didn't provide any further information. Five Russian nuclear engineers died during the explosion of a nuclear engine.
While Putin talked about the miraculous weapons, all of the tests had been failures. And the following tests were unsuccessful as well. So, it's too early to talk about Russia possessing such weapons. I will add that the demonstration didn't show videos from the tests, but instead graphic images and animations, which leads to believe that Russia doesn't have any superweapons yet.
We could go on and on, but this wouldn't change the fact that nearly all of Putin's statements have been lies.
Is Putin the only lying Russian president? If we look at the last decades, he certainly isn't the only one, but he sure is the most prominent one. If we look at more distant history – and considering that Putin believes Russia to be the heir of the USSR – we can conclude that Putin is surpassed by another gentleman – Nikita Khrushchev.
When it comes to bluffing/lying, both of them are similar, but when it comes to the extent and approach Khrushchev trumps Putin. Khrushchev once too attempted to deceive the West that the USSR is a might nuclear state. To do this, on 30 October 1961 the USSR tested a 50-megaton hydrogen bomb, and the entire world now believed that the USSR is a might nuclear superpower that should be respected. This launched the notorious arms race that turned out to be lethal for its initiator – the USSR. So, what did Khrushchev lie about when he called the USSR a nuclear superpower? The missile could only be loaded into the Tu-95 bomber half way, and this decreased the speed and range of the aircraft. A trench had to be made to be able to push the missile under the airplane on a special platform. If the super-powerful bomb would indeed be commissioned, the means to deliver it to the target would still have to be produced. This meant that the only state the USSR could destroy with nuclear weapons was the USSR itself – they had a bomb, but didn't have the means to deliver it to the target.
This is just one of Khrushchev's bluffs/lies, but there were many more.
In small doses, bluffing and lying are accepted in politics. But the USSR accepted it on an unimaginably lager scale – as we know, during Soviet times the ruling clique bluffed and lied constantly. Khrushchev's bluff/lies had become so severe that his official speeches were censored by removing from them the deadlines of his exaggerated promises.
What happened to Khrushchev? He made history as one of the rare people to leave his post on his own feet – instead of being removed from the Kremlin on a stretcher. In simpler words, he was dethroned, and the press only reported that he is retiring due to his worsening health.
Now, let's look at the similarities. Putin too lies/bluffs like a real professional.
Therefore, we cannot ignore that fact that Russia is working on a draft law that intends to grant life-time judicial and administrative immunity to former presidents for anything they may have committed during their presidency.
You could think that Putin is already starting to plan his future after his presidency ends, however there is one big "but" – Putin can remain in power until 2036. Isn't it a bit too early to start thinking about what will happen after 2036? Formally and from the outside, it seems that Putin's positions are quite strong. Let's not forget that Khrushchev too thought that he is untouchable, but the Kremlin's elite didn't agree with him.
We also cannot ignore the information published in the media that Putin is showing symptoms of Parkinson's disease, which is the reason he intends to step down in early 2021. Of course, the Kremlin denies this, but we know that the Kremlin denies everything said by someone else other than itself.
There is one more interesting aspect in all of this. It's no secret that Putin no longer has control over the situation. This is confirmed by the protests in Khabarovsk, as well as Putin's own indecisiveness on a range of issues. Ironically, in an article titled "Has Putin Lost His Mojo?" this topic is analyzed by none other than Khrushchev's granddaughter – Nina Khrushcheva.
It seems that the biggest bluffers/liars will share another feature – they will have left the Kremlin on their own feet.

BENTON HARBOR, MI -- For a temporary fix, do a makeover, but for a cluttered, disorganized garage, a homeowner needs a takeover. In celebration of the sixth annual National Garage Organization Month™, Gladiator® GarageWorks is offering product discounts and how-to advice to help consumers reclaim the use of one of the biggest rooms in the house – the garage.
A recent qualitative survey* from Gladiator® GarageWorks uncovered that when dealing with the garage, homeowners suffer from space constraints, disorganization and visual clutter. Consumers clearly saw the benefit of a garage organization system, but did not know where to look for one and how to start the garage reorganization process. Gladiator® GarageWorks is dedicated to eliminating this barrier.
"No one likes to be disorganized. But sadly, disorganization has become the norm in many garages as other rooms take precedence," said Mario D'Ovidio, general manager, Gladiator® GarageWorks. "National Garage Organization Month™ encourages consumers to reprioritize household tasks to include garage cleaning in order to discover the potential value of getting the car back in the garage."
1. Sort through your belongings: Figure out what to keep, throw out or donate. Things you haven't used in over a year should go in the throw out or donate pile.
2. Identify your storage and organization problem and design a solution: For example, if bikes or storage bins are taking up too much floor space, invest in a bike hook or shelves to get things off the ground. Or, invest in a large cabinet with doors to conceal the hodge-podge of items in the garage. This way, the garage door can stay open all year round.
3. Invest in quality and durability: Oftentimes, organizational products in the garage are mismatched hand-me-downs from the home (e.g. plastic shelves, wood dresser, old kitchen cabinets, etc.). Pick an organization system built to withstand the harsh environments of the garage. Humidity and extreme temperature changes can wreak havoc.
To help, during the month of April, Gladiator® GarageWorks will offer a 15 percent discount on garage organization product purchases and 10 percent off appliance purchases made online with the promo code NGOM2011.
Gladiator® GarageWorks is the leader in garage organization delivering innovative solutions that allow garage owners to organize their space in a way that suits their individual storage needs. It is the only garage organization system to offer coordinated appliances designed for the harsh garage environment.
Gladiator® GarageWorks offers a Premier pre-assembled line and Ready-to-Assemble line for do-it-yourselfers. Products are available through local garage dealers, retailers including Sears and Lowe's or online.

Leif Anderson
MAJOR WORKS BIOGRAPHY REVIEWS INTERVIEW RELATED WEBSITES BIBLIOGRAPHY
Leif Anderson, Photo by Nancy N. Jacobs
Dancing with My Father (University Press of Mississippi, March, 2005)
Dancing through Airth (Airth Publications, 1986)
Biography of Leif Anderson
Mississippi writer, dancer, and artist Leif Anderson is the third child of Mississippi's best known artist Walter Inglis Anderson and his wife Agnes Grinstead Anderson.
Her father died in 1965, but his work is becoming better known every year. Today he is known for being a prolific artist in many mediums. However, to do his now famous work, Walter Anderson left his family and lived alone. He could not deal with the distractions and commitments of daily family life.
To Leif, he was an absent father. In her memoir Dancing with My Father, which is a series of vignettes, she writes poetically about her struggle to come to terms with Walter Anderson, the father/artist.
Leif Anderson was born in 1944 at Oldfields, her mother's family home in Gautier, Mississippi. She and her three siblings Mary, Billy, and John grew up with their mother in a house which was once a barn at Shearwater. The name Leif was given to her by her father because Leif Ericsson, a Viking explorer, was a favorite. He thought she would be a boy, but it didn't matter to him when she wasn't. He still wanted to call her Leif.
When she was about three, Walter Anderson became an absent father as he moved himself to Shearwater in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, to devote himself to art and nature. The effect that decision had on Leif continues to affect her.
Leif Anderson is a dancer who studied ballet with Lelia Haller in New Orleans, where she became a member of The Crescent City Ballet. She danced with the New Orleans Opera as well and has performed and taught workshops in Massachusetts, New York, and throughout the South.

On November 15, 1965, Leif Anderson's daughter Moira was born. On November 30, 1965, Leif's father, Walter Anderson, died of complications from lung cancer. Leif also has a son named Vanja, who now lives in the house where Walter Anderson secluded himself to paint.
Leif Anderson's life has been spent as a dancer, artist, sister, daughter, mother and wife and now she is also a writer. She seems to finally have accepted her life as the daughter of the troubled Walter Anderson and gone beyond to Leif Anderson, the creative person in her own right.
E-mail Interview with Leif Anderson
Could you please give us some additional biographical information? We know about your parents and siblings, but could you tell us about your children (and their father) and do you have any grandchildren?
Moira (daughter) was born in 1965, two weeks before my father died. Her father was an artist and a very fine art teacher at the school where I was modeling in New Orleans. I chose to have her and received the gift of her beauty, humor, grace, and companionship. She is now an amazing Yoga teacher and mother to Olivia and Wyatt (my grandchildren). Her husband, Billy, is a lawyer and a very good daddy. Ivan (Vanja), my son, was born in 1972. I was married to his father, Mischa Philippoff, a 6 ft., 8 in. tall Russian, whose career was in graphic design. Vanja has charmed me from the moment he was born. He is handsome, funny, and very very wise. He teaches English in a Biloxi Junior High School and is married to Christy, who is also a teacher. I have two grandpups, Ocean and Mahi.
Do you remember how you felt about your father when you were a teenager?
I felt kind of nervous in his company. He seemed like a familiar stranger, but I knew he was my daddy and every little special attention meant a lot to me. I think I admired his art, but his strange behavior over-shadowed that. My peers thought he was weird, and their remarks embarrassed me.
What is your happiest memory that you remember with your father?
Probably the time he kissed my hand and called me "tres belle" (very beautiful). This was in passing. He never lived with us again after I was two and a half years old. I'm sure I was often a happy baby before he left.
Are you willing to discuss the worst memory with your father, and if so, would you describe it?
My father sometimes drank too much wine and could be violent. It was very frightening. The worst though, I think, was when he was hurting and asking for help and someone he loved was threatening him.
When did you begin dancing lessons? What has dancing meant to you other than as a professional career? Would you say that dancing is a form of escape for you as well as a career and a pleasure?
I began dancing lessons when I was about four, mostly because of a deformed foot. My mother's idea. I had loved to dance freely, and she knew I had talent. From then on she cultivated the gift. Sometimes I was shy and awkward in class, but it came to be my dream. It got bigger and bigger, crowding out other gifts, like writing. I studied Ballet in New Orleans instead of going to college.
Eventually I felt stifled by traditional forms of dance, and returned to freer ways. Improvisation allowed me to realize spiritual depths in myself. Through dance, I have known ecstasy that I could hardly describe. And performing, I have communed with others as I couldn't in other situations. In 1977, I discovered a technique that I called Airth, based on natural laws; this I could teach and did for many years. I have often thought that I might be escaping into dance, but I have also used it to tell my story. Of course not everyone knows what I'm telling when I dance. Perhaps as I have matured, I am less inclined to escape from the life I have lived. In writing I can be more clear in what I am telling, and the dancing is only part of the telling.
What tangible object do you have from or of your father's that you treasure the most and why is that? Do you have any of his paintings or drawings in your home?
Probably the vase that he painted when I was born. He went home from seeing me at the hospital and affirmed my coming by painting me on the vase twice. He gave me wings. I also have paintings. I love the Resurrection Rabbit watercolor, and an oil of a ghost crab on Horn Island in the moonlight. I treasure a book he gave me called THE ADVENTURES OF THE BLACK GIRL IN HER SEARCH FOR GOD by Bernard Shaw.
Your book DANCING WITH MY FATHER is marvelously written. How much revision did you have to do for each vignette before it was published?
Really, hardly any. Maybe one quick refining. I did have punctuation corrections to do after my editor saw it.
Are you working on another book? If so, will it also be about your father and you, or do you have plans for other themes or stories?
I have three other books in the works. One is autobiographical, but not focused specifically on my father. One is about my attraction to Paris, France, and my experiences there.
The other is a novel.
My current project is a children's book, but not just for children. A small blue rocking chair is the main character, and she is not content to rock back and forth like the other chairs.
Her quest is for infinite motion, like the sky. And her mentor is a very wise tree. I intend to illustrate it with watercolors.
Did you already have many completed drawings of your own to choose from or did you do the drawings in your book specifically for that purpose?
I have many completed drawings, mostly of dance. For the book I had to start from scratch, be inspired by each vignette. I did many drawings for some of the pieces before I was satisfied. It was great fun.
What has living in Mississippi meant to you?
I am very attached to my home, appreciate its unique qualities, love its laid back aspect. But I have lived in many other places, including New York City. The other places did not hold tight to my heart, but I found great freedom for growing and becoming. Ideally one sinks one's roots in the trusted homeland and travels out to explore and expand one's boundaries. The best of both worlds?
What advice would you have for teenagers today?
Respect your upbringing, whatever it consists of, but believe in yourself. Listen to the small true voice inside more than to the voices of peers and authority figures. Dream and explore. Laugh and cry without shame. Keep a journal!

Finding it hard to get a proper night sleep? A higher religious involvement can reduce stress levels and lead to healthier sleep outcomes, say researchers.
The findings showed that persons with a greater sense of assurance of spiritual salvation tend to enjoy better sleep quality and tend to have fewer negative sleep consequences due to stressful life events and chronic conditions.
It is because higher religious involvement — religious attendance, prayer and secure attachment to God — benefits mental health by reducing stress, promoting social engagement and support from fellow members.
It also provides psychological resources — hope, optimism, sense of meaning — and promotes healthier lifestyles — lower levels of substance abuse, the researchers explained.
"This research is relatively unchartered territory that allows us to better understand the way in which religion and spirituality affect a person's health and overall quality of life," said Christopher Ellison in The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).
Ellison said much of the benefit of perceived spiritual salvation among the faithful is because these persons have lower levels of psychological distress, i.e., feelings of depressed affect and anxiety.

For the study, published in the journal Sleep Health, the team reviewed several large studies of religious involvement and sleep-related outcomes that included people from different age groups and religions.

The treacherous depths of Amberfaet are an extremely frigid climate.
Climates are extreme environments found in Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen that can cause detrimental effects to player characters. These effects can be mitigated through the process of acclimation. Each of those extreme climates will have tiers associated with them corresponding to how punishing they will be to players. For example, players may be able to survive in a Tier 1 environment without any acclimation, but would certainly experience some detrimental effects like a weapon or movement speed penalty. The higher the tier, the more detrimental and severe the effects would be. Some climates can be found within other climates.
Acclimation page on sample character UI showing slots for Acclimation Infusions.
Is the process in which a player character mitigates the effects of climates. Becoming acclimated is carried out through equipment modification or special equipment allowing players to absorb resistances altering the physical composition of their character. Characters will have different slots like chest, legs, hands, arms, feet, etc. to which players apply these items. Players will also be able to change acclimatization.

The latest FreeWheel Council for Premium Video position paper contains many insights and conclusions, one of which in particular stands out to James Rooke. When it comes to delivering optimal ad experiences across different screens, there is shared accountability and responsibility.
More than half (52%) of 250 agency and brand leaders surveyed by the FreeWheel Council for Premium Video said that improving the video ad experience for consumers is the biggest challenge for the industry.
"One of the interesting findings was that the number one answer for ad experience issues actually came back as creative diversity, and that is something that the buy side has accountability for," Rooke says in this interview with Beet.TV.
Other findings highlighted the need to ensure the right creative assets are made available for the right screens and that ad tags aren't so heavy as to cause latency issues. "But there was a very balanced point of view that says that at the end of the day, we have to put the consumer at the center," Rooke says.
He believes that if everyone does their part, everyone will win. Brands know that they're getting the best return for their money if consumers are watching content in brand-safe and engaging environments, while MVPD's and other premium video providers can continue to grow their share of ad dollars.
"That fuels the production of best-in-class content that we get to all enjoy, and that's good for consumers. So I think there's a nice virtuous cycle there," Rooke says.
When it comes to fragmentation, FreeWheel has a bird's-eye view of the complications, as it executes dynamic ad insertion to more than 200 different endpoints.
"Managing that ad experience is not just a technical issue but it is the combination of business policy, operational execution and technical execution. And those three things have to come together across all the different parties," Rooke observes.
