NBA Betting Tips, Predictions and Odds
Manu Ginobili Set to Make 2018-2019 Decision
Zach Weiss August 22, 2018
« Many Players Remain on the Market as September Approaches
NBA's G »
With training camp coming up, Manu Ginobili's decision will need to be made soon. We all half-expected him to retire during each of the past three offseasons, but he came back each time. Now, with both Tony Parker and Tim Duncan gone, along with Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard, he will have a little less familiarity. Nevertheless, we reflect upon his long career.
For the many fond memories we have of Manu, and the great seasons he has logged for the Spurs, he played 30+ minutes in a season just twice. He only started more games than games in which he came off the bench THREE times. And in two of those years, he was voted in as a Western Conference All-Star. His scoring ability has always been matched by his playmaking, as he's averaged four or more assists on seven occasions.
He hasn't started a regular season game since 2013-14, something that has been partly his own decision, but he's continued to get it done. His minutes have dwindled to career-lows over the past few years, along with all of his statistics, yet he has been efficient. He's been tasked with less, but he's still shooting the ball relatively well. Manu had a his highest free-throw percentage in four years last year, and averaged at least one made three per game for the fifteenth straight season.
He may be the only potential Hall-of-Famer to ever average less than five rebounds and five assists per game for his entire career. During his best statistical season, in 2007-08, Manu averaged 19.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. He did this coming off the bench in 53 of his 74 games. Hedo Turkoglu's best statistical season, also coming in 2007-08, saw him put up 19.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game. This is not to knock Ginobili, but to say that his best year by the numbers is not something uncommon.
What the fans have loved about Manu has been his consistency, and his team-first mindset. He wanted to help the Spurs win in any way that he could. He's had a storied career, where he's won four champions, and been selected to the All-NBA teams on two occasions. He made a pair of All-Star appearances, and won the sixth man of the year during that top statistical season. He, Tony Parker, and Tim Duncan won more regular season games than any other trio in the history of professional basketball, something none of them will ever forget.
Now, as we may be at the end of the line of Manu's career, we remember his iconic bald spot, and no matter how much or how little hair was on his head, it always stood out. From long-haired Manu in his early Spurs days to a short hair-cut, to be being absolutely buzzed. We will never forget you Manu, and whether or not you come back, it has been a PLEASURE!

Q: How to recursively downgrade a package and its dependencies in Arch I need to downgrade xmonad because after the latest upgrade it crashes when I run a specific program (fldigi specifically). Contrary to question How do you downgrade multiple packages in arch linux?, I need to downgrade packages recursively with their dependencies.
In order to downgrade xmonad I need to downgrade haskell-x11
which depends on haskell-... which depends on ~20 other packages, but only ~20.
In this case the set of packages does not spiral out of control, though it's enough that working through it one at a time is going to be tedious.
Once I have verified that downgrading fixes the problem I intend to roll forward again and help the people who actually know Haskell to debug this problem.

A: This is a limitation of binary distribution. Every binary distribution sets certain policy and users are to follow it, or will have hard times. Specifically, you will be facing ABI breakage or need to rebuild complex chain of packages and install these packages parallel, which will go .. against Arch philosophy.
Arch philosophy of simplicity means integrating only latest releases into its core components, thus the choice of versions is actually not given by design, supposedly because that would complicate the toolchain too much.
As a contrast, deb-based distributions are capable of having multiple versions of packages with automatic dependency resolution. However it plays well only on upgrades, not downgrades. Downgrades usually end up in uninstallation of the whole package chain and reinstallation of the older versions. Its a long and time consuming task of setting package pins and purging. So, its hardly an ideal.
What you are trying to achieve here is a policy-free environment, where you yourself define the policy of the system. Basically, you need a source-based distribution for this. I suggest Gentoo. However, this freedom has its price as most of the packages are unavailable in binary format. Also be sure to try Calculate Linux and RedCore, as they include larger pre-built binary repositories, while staying close to Gentoo roots.

When we use language that excludes, it becomes really easy to see another as less than human.
I remember hearing at Christmas time that the angels came to the shepherds and said, "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men." And then I got to sing that phrase over and over again in Handel's Messiah (Good will too-oo-ooward men, too-ward men) and I couldn't help but wonder, what about women? Do I get to be part of that peace? I know there are some who would say of course, because in the Bible, the word "men" implies women as well. But does it?
Let's be honest. The Bible was written in a time when women were seen as the property of men, when women often went unnamed (the Levite's concubine, Peter's mother-in-law, two harlot mothers), when women could be seen as an acceptable sacrifice (Judges 11). So it stands to reason that many things were not written with the intent to include women. Why would it need to be?
When we use language that excludes, it becomes really easy to see another as less than human. When we put labels on people and they don't quite fit in the box that label creates, it is easy to dimiss them. As a person of faith, I am called to be better than that. I am called to draw the circle wide. Following in the way of Jesus, I am called to see the humanity in the very ones the world despises.
I read a horrific story of how a transgender girl in Oklahoma was threatened and maligned by the parents of other students in her school. In addition to making physical threats of violence against her, some parents began calling her "it." Seeing a person as "it" makes it really easy to pretend that person doesn't have the same rights as others, that they don't have the right to go to school safely or to even exist, to turn threats of violence into actual acts of violence. The words we use matter.
I was taught starting in high school to use inclusive language in my writing. To not assume that man included woman, that he included she. I was taught to use words like "humankind" and "humanity" and that felt right. It was easy to see I, as a woman, was included in humanity. I extended the same practice in my work as a clergyperson, celebrating that women have equal standing with men in the eyes of God, that women can serve as elders and deacons, that women can serve at the communion table. But there was more for me to learn.
In church, we use language like brothers and sisters all the time. Then someone pointed out to me that "brothers and sisters" does not include those in our communities of faith who arenonbinary. And so we are in the process of adjusting the words we use to be more inclusive. Because we don't want to be a stumbling block for any who are seeking the love of God, for any of our companions or siblings who journey on the way.
It is my hope and prayer that we can live in a world where more people can know the love of God, where the table is widened and more chairs can be set to include those who have been excluded in the past, where the words we use heal instead of harm.

The Wasps - Overture Ralph Vaughan Williams Download 'The Wasps - Overture' on iTunes
The most romantic songs: Wynne Evans' top ten arias
It's a running theme in opera that the tenor always gets the girl, so who better to choose the top ten most romantic arias than tenor Wynne Evans? He's chosen ten of the best love songs to serenade you on this most romantic of evenings...
1. Che gelida manina - La bohème
Poet, and tenor star of Puccini's opera, Rodolfo, has fallen in love with Mimì. He takes her cold hand and tells her about his life, singing Che galida manina, translated as 'What a cold little hand'. We're not convinced it's the best chat-up line in the book...
2. La fleur que tu m'avais jetée - Carmen
Another belter for the tenor, sung by Don José in Bizet's bohemian opera. The lyrics, not to mention the tunes, are beautiful: "The flower that you had thrown me, I kept with me in prison… I became intoxicated by its fragrance…"
3. E lucevan le stelle - Tosca
Puccini certainly knows how to write a romantic tune, exemplified in this aria from Tosca. It's another tenor classic, both tragic and beautiful.
4. Pourquoi me réveiller - Werther
Possibly the most famous song in Massenet's opera - and with good reason. At this point in the opera, Charlotte attempts to divert Werther's attention away from his self-destructive thoughts, and he, in return, sings this beautiful aria.
5. Salut, demeure chaste et pure - Faust
Faust, the tenor, is persuaded to sell his soul to the devil, and soprano Marguerite falls in love with him. At this point in Gounod's opera, Faust sings an aria while sending Méphistophélès in search of a gift for his love interest - hopefully not some petrol station flowers.
6. Una furtiva lagrima - L'elisir d'amore
This Donizetti aria has all the hallmarks of a romantic classic. Donizetti was no stranger to a good comedy, but here the focus is very much on heartbreak - "A single secret tear from her eye did spring," is how it begins, and it gradually sees the narrator falling in love with the girl.
7. De' miei bollenti spiriti - La Traviata
Few composers did arias quite so catchy as Verdi, and La Traviata is packed full of them. This frantic little number is all about stirring devotion, with talk of a "passionate spirit" and "the fire of youth".
8. Ach! So fromm, Ach! So traut - Martha
It's not one of the best-known operas, but Friedrich von Flotow's Martha has some hidden gems - not least of which is this aria. Interestingly, it was only added to the opera 18 years after it premiered.
9. Je crois entendre encore - The Pearl Fishers
Bizet is responsible for some of the best-loved arias in the operatic repertoire. This one, from The Pearl Fishers, is one of his saddest and most heart-rending - "I still believe I hear hidden beneath the palm trees her voice, tender and deep…" Who couldn't fall in love with that?
10. Ah! leve-toi, soleil! - Romeo and Juliet
The most enduring love story ever told. William Shakespeare's tragedy about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths unite their feuding families, has been transformed into both an opéra by French composer Charles Gounod and a ballet by Prokofiev.

One Direction's Harry Styles Offered Feature Debut In Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk
March 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment
After One Direction split-up/took an extended break (I thought I'd add the latter in case you're too traumatised to think they might not get back together) most expected that Harry Styles would concentrate on a solo career. However, it looks like he's got acting in his sights, as Deadline reports he's been offered a role in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk.
Nolan seems to be very busy casting, as the news comes hot on the heels of reports that newcomer Fionn Whitehead is currently the top choice for the lead role, with Jack Lowden and Aneurin Barnard also in talks. Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh and Tom Hardy are already onboard. It's not known however who any of them would play.
The movie will centre around the Dunkirk evacuation, which occurred in May 1940, when Belgian, British, and French soldiers in Northern France were cut off and surrounded by the German Army. It was a giant military disaster – something even Winston Churchill acknowledged in a speech in the House Of Commons – with hundreds of thousands of men trapped, with the German Army on one side and the sea on the other. A massive evacuation was put into operation, with Naval vessels joined by an armada of 'little ships', such as fishing boats, small ferries, tourist boats, lifeboats and merchant marine craft, which braved the seas and German guns in order to help rescue over 300,000 men.
The evacuation is one of the most incredible stories of the war – an event which could have allowed the Germans to win if the men had not been saved. Nolan's movie will be released July 21st, 2017.

Cilla (DVD Review)
October 14, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment
Starring: Sheridan Smith, Aneurin Barnard, Ed Stoppard, John Henshaw
Director: Paul Whittington
Release Date: October 6th 2014 (UK)
We don't see Cilla Black too much anymore since she entered semi-retirement. However anyone who was around in the UK in the 1980s will know her from shows such as Blind Date and Surprise Surprise, and they may also remember that before she was a TV host she was a singer. However only those who can recall the heyday of the Beatles are likely to know much about that part of her story.
The three-part mini-series Cilla takes us back to the days when she was Cilla White (Sheridan Smith), a rock 'n' roll obsessed Liverpudlian teenager, who was friends with a pre-Beatles Ringo Starr, headed down to The Cavern Club whenever she got the chance and had parents who were proud that she was the first member of the family deemed good enough for office work.

The Facility (DVD)
May 8, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment
Starring: Alex Reid, Aneurin Barnard, Chris Larkin, Steve Evets, Jack Doolan
Director: Ian Clark
Release Date: May 6th 2013
A group of people head for a secluded clinic to take part in a medical trial, with the promise that if they stay for two weeks, they'll get £2,000. After being introduced they're taken off at hourly intervals to be given the drug, Pro9, and are then left to get to know one another.
That night the side-effects turn out to be far more dramatic than expected. The first of the guinea pigs to be given the drug is found doubled-over in pain and is taken off by the medics. Some time later, a second participant starts screaming. It soon becomes clear that the drug has extreme side-effects, which essentially turn people into unconscious psycho-killers, who are more than willing to inflict violence on those who get in the way. As the other patients realise escape is going to be difficult, they also know that everyone who's been given the drug is potentially going to go off their rocker too, and the only reason more haven't already turned is due to the hour-long gaps between the administrations of the first dose.

It is the second anniversary of the beginning of clash in Eastern Ladakh.
15 rounds of military commanders talks have been undertaken for de-escalation and disengagement.
New Delhi: On May 05, 2020, the Chinese troops of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), stationed in Ladakh's Galwan valley had an aggressive melee with their Indian counterparts, in what become one of the most prolonged localised border tension for India.
Two years on, as de-escalation is yet to happen in the Galwan Valley after 14 rounds of talks, however, violence was subdued in the region among the troops that ended up killing 20 Indian soldiers and 4-45 from the Chinese side according to different sources.
Here is a timeline of the Galwan clash:

I have been challenging myself to become a World Class Christian.
What is a world class Christian?
So, how do we become a World Class Christian?
As a mother of four, I almost always instinctively think of others before myself. However, I am definitely more local thinking than global thinking. I have a tendency to focus on the immediate people around me: my family, my friends, people in my immediate community, and myself.
Although I have become more focused on trying to store up treasures in heaven, I make excuses that prevent me from becoming all God desires.
This summer, I went on a 9-day mission trip with three of my sons and 45 other people from Grace Community Church to a small community in the Dominican Republic. It was my first mission trip, and was spurred by reading the chapter "Becoming A World Class Christian" in The Purpose Driven Life.
Why had I never gone on a mission trip until now? Perhaps I was held back by the fear of traveling to a third world country; perhaps I didn't think I was capable of doing construction work; perhaps I didn't think I had anything of value to offer.
All these fears and misbeliefs turned out to be wrong.
I am physically and mentally stronger than I ever believed. When we first arrived at the worksite, the project appeared daunting. We were to carry heavy cement blocks and buckets of wet cement, and literally build a community center, cement block by cement block.
What I didn't expect was that women and children in the community would jump in to help mix cement, and carry cement blocks and buckets of cement, alongside our mission team of 49 people.
I was so blessed to have been able to serve in this El Batey community along with three of my sons.
Our team of 49 helped build a community center for adult training sessions, dig a trench for a baseball field backstop, build a lunchroom for the local school, dig a septic hole for the community church bathrooms, and play with local children during Vacation Bible Study. We laid the foundation for these projects and were able to make a valuable contribution for this community.
Although I treaded carefully over the heavily damaged bridge to El Batey on our first day, I can proudly report that I walked back over it without any fear on the day we left the community.
I am still digesting everything I experienced on this mission trip abroad. But, I can say that I left El Batey with both joy and sadness. Joy to have experienced first hand what community really means – where people literally jump in to build their community, and raise each other's children. It puts a whole new meaning to "it takes a village to raise a child." Sadness that I have rarely seen or experienced this sense of community here in the U.S.
Becoming a World Class Christian is a life-long journey. It requires stepping out of our comfort zone, which might mean traveling to places we've never been, helping people who speak a different language, and doing work we don't think we're capable of.

"Change is the only constant", said a Greek fella a few thousand years ago. Turns out this is very true. And it happens when you least need/expect it!
Over the years I have refined the way I plan the websites I build. I've moved to a more consultative approach and it has been great for my clients.
I rebranded tempertemper last summer. Text is so important on the web that it made perfect sense to make typography one of the first things to tackle.
I was recently part of a panel on co-working at the ITI Conference 2015, so now feels like a good time to revisit co-working and what it does for my business.
Constant interruptions and notifications can take over your working day. For me, the biggest culprit is email. Here's how I keep my head above water.
Anyone who knows me will know I like to keep things tidy. Whether it's my desk, the contents of my work bag or the files on my computer, everything has its place. This helps me keep in control and is why I still believe RSS has its place.


Stroke: A Quick Test to Check for Symptoms | Guardian Angels of Home Health, Inc.
A stroke happens when the brain isn't getting the blood it needs. This can lead to a variety of health issues. Early treatment helps lower the chance of complications, so people need to know how to recognize a stroke. One method is the FAST test. This quick test checks for the most common symptoms. Here is how it works.
Arms: Raise both arms and see if one of them droops down.
Speech: Speak and check for slurred or strange speech.
Time: If any of these apply, call 911 immediately and write down the time you observed the symptoms.
Time is key when treating a stroke. The earlier you receive treatment, the less time there is for the brain to get damaged. Other possible symptoms include numbness in parts of the body, confusion, vision troubles, dizziness, and severe headache. Strokes are serious, so it is best to receive treatment for them as soon as possible.

Isaac Bangani Tabata (1909 - 1990)
Isaac Bangani Tabata (1909 - 1990) Awarded for:
Exceptional contribution to the founding of organisations which forged unity among the oppressed across race and class boundaries.
Profile of Isaac Bangani Tabata
Isaac Bangani Tabata, political activist and author, was born near Queenstown in the Eastern Cape and educated at Lovedale and Fort Hare. In 1931, he left university and moved to Cape Town, where he worked as a truck driver. He joined the Lorry Drivers' Union and became a member of its executive. He also joined the Cape African Voters' Association. In 1933, he started attending meetings of the Trotskyist-oriented Lenin Club and subsequently was instrumental in founding the Workers' Party of South Africa, an offshoot of the Lenin Club. He assisted in founding two organisations, the All-African Convention (AAC) in 1935 and the Non-European Unity Movement in 1943, later known as the Unity Movement of South Africa. As an organiser of the AAC, Tabata made annual trips to the Transkei in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The political necessities of the time forced the people to organise on a nation-wide scale. Tabata was banned in 1956.
In 1961, he established and became President of the African People's Democratic Union of Southern Africa as a unifying instrument following the Sharpeville massacre of the previous year. In his 1962 Presidential Address to the African People's Democratic Union of Southern Africa, Tabata depicted the working class as the historical unifier of the disparate structural locations of oppressed peoples. Tabata went to exile in Zambia in 1963 and also lived in Tanzania and Zimbabwe. He was married to Jane Gool, also a political activist. Through fierce intellectualism and the unquenchable thirst for human freedom, I B Tabata made an indelible mark on the history of the liberation struggle.

It's ridiculous. Those of your own race inquiring about FREE this or FREE that, GIMME this or CAN YOU that. They have the expectation of your bending the rules and dipping out, for them, your business plan. Not many consumers respect the hard work you do to be able to provide services and what not, all many of them care for is getting what they can. Clearly, the "HOOK-UP" is one of the biggest burdens of black entrepreneurial growth and profitability. Why do black people always expect other black people with businesses to offer free anything to them?
Let's break this down. You invest "x" amount of dollars into growing or starting a business that you feel is needed or lacks elsewhere. You take "x" amount of time to carefully plan your business, what service (s) you want to offer, who to cater to, where to build, how to go about building onto your business, and selling yourself to those who could possibly be potential clientele. As a black business, your black consumer more than likely will not have "the hard work" in mind. If they know you, they're thinking, "Oh, I can get the hook up." If they know someone that knows you, "Oh, you think they'll cut the price for me?" If you're black and a service is too much for them, "Um, can I pay this and the rest later?" It's a shame when your own people don't respect your hustle enough to pay for a service they want from you! I've encountered this many times and those people are always the ones that are not loyal. If you happen to give in and give them a free service, they will expect you to do it again. There's nothing wrong with your rates or prices for services you offer, there is something wrong with them and their wallet. If I see a service I want, I'm going to pay for it. It saddens me that my many of my own people would rather pay less for messy work or bad service than pay for GREAT work. That's all across the board. We should be here to help each other as a people. Sadly, it's just not that way.
We're cousins girl! Can you charge me a little lower than that?
Can you do my hair? I only have $25 but I want micros.
Did you say $18 for a full manicure? Um.
I need my makeup did. I don't have a deposit but I'll pay you when I get my check Friday.
I don't get a "friend discount"?
Sigh... it's a shame isn't it? It's been a learning process and I have surely been using the word, "NO" to it's highest power. People will take advantage, especially friends and family. Now, I've learned to keep on my business plan and the only time a free service or special is offered is when I decide to share a special. That's not daily, more so by the month. Something new or switched out. NO, they I can't type your research biographical by tomorrow, make you a wedding gown, bake your birthday cake, cut your hair, and all that other stuff for FREE! I can see if a consumer refers many new, paying customers. Then yeah, you may get free goods or services every now and then. You may even be at the top of the list for discounted services in the future. When it comes to business, especially entrepreneurial business, we make our living with networking, communicating, and selling. At the end of the day, they should realize that they're not worrying about workplace bills, inventory, advertising fees, marketing materials, etc. Being your own boss and being too kind will only jeopardize your business in the long run.
Come on, black people in particular. The point of having a business is to make money! How can entrepreneurs, particularly black business owners, make money, if they're always expected to give away their goods and services for free?! Realize that those goods and services cost them money to create, develop, market, deliver, and keep in circulation. Would it make sense for your consumer to want a free service but tell you about a business they own and you have to pay full price for their products or services? No. Money literally makes the world go around. If I don't pay my stylist to do my hair for an event, she won't be able to get her nail service the next week. Does this make sense? Money has no choice but to circulate for the sake of economics and especially for black entrepreneurs to have that same chance to grow, compete, and expand. You don't support the hustle of a black business by just wanting the hook-up. You support that black business/ entrepreneur by paying what's due. It's okay for the black community to shop at MAC or Ralph Lauren, complain or not complain about the prices and STILL pay up but when wanting to shop black, many complain, and either wait for a freebie or leave with something negative to say. The shame... we must do better.
Black businesses/ entrepreneurs? What have your experiences been like?
You hit the nail on the head with this. I needed to read this because too many times in the past I have been taken advantage of and I blame nobody but myself but like you said, those same people were not loyal. They ended up going elsewhere and PAYING for service(s) that I was working hard and doing for free. Not anymore. I grew up and put my business first.
For sure. It really hits home when they expect a free service hat they will literally go somewhere else and pay for the SAME service. Foolishness. It was a huge lesson learned for me. Keeping a firm grip on what you offer is the best thing to do.
this is a great post about a true issue. my so called friends suddenly wanted to hang out with me every weekend...i had to stop and ask myself why? good thing i did because i realized they just wanted me to drive them around town under the impression we were "hanging out". business or personal, if someone thinks they can get something from you for nothing, they will try!
Exactly! I'm glad you could relate to this post. Many people fail to realize that it's not just with business, it can also be with everyday relationships with friends, family, colleagues, etc.
I was just commenting on this very issue a few weeks ago. The fact is, we as business owners are allowing ourselves to be perceived as still one of the "homies", among those who know us or have the same skin tone.
I find that it is beneficial to separate your image as friend, homie, etc... into a separate business personae. We train people how to treat us and when we don't give into the "hook up" or pleads for discounts, it sets a precedence that we value our profession and craft.
I concur! The saying you get what you put out is most definitely true. Thank you!

Nematode Cancer Screening Method Featured at AAAS-Hitachi Lecture
by: Stephen Waldron
Minoru Sakairi and Gerald L. Epstein

The nose of nematodes holds promise for a simple, urine-based cancer-screening test. With over 1,000 olfactory receptors, nematodes — also known as roundworms — can acutely detect chemical substances like those associated with colorectal and breast cancers.
"We're seeing great potential in applying nematodes to cancer testing," said Minoru Sakairi, chief scientist at the Hitachi Center for Exploratory Research at the 9 December AAAS-Hitachi Lecture, held at AAAS headquarters in Washington, D.C. The event also featured Gerald L. Epstein, former director of the AAAS Center for Science, Technology, and Security Policy.
Sakairi has specialized in ultra-sensitive measurement technology development for three decades. His long-term goal for Hitachi's nematode project is to develop a convenient and inexpensive cancer test. Patients would buy an over-the-counter kit, providing a urine sample at home that they would then send to a laboratory for testing. Using this method, Sakairi believes, patients can avoid hospital procedures such X-rays and endoscopies.
In Sakairi's research, nematodes (Caenorhabditis elegans) used their sophisticated olfactory system to sniff out substances associated with colorectal and breast cancer in patients. | Hitachi, Ltd.
To test the concept, Sakairi's team exposed nematodes to urine samples from healthy participants, as well as participants with cancer. Researchers built a device that used image analysis to detect nematode behavior. When the nematode detects a chemical substance, certain olfactory nerves are stimulated, causing the nematode to be either repelled by or attracted to a substance.
When added to a dish containing a urine sample of a healthy person, Sakairi's team found that nematodes were repelled and avoided the sample. When exposed to a urine sample of a patient with breast cancer, the nematodes were attracted to the sample. The same held true when nematodes were exposed to urine samples from patients with colorectal cancer.
Going forward, Epstein said researchers should focus on the specific interactions taking place between the organism and the urine sample.
"It's very important to understand the mechanism of what the nematode is actually doing," he said.
While an at-home cancer test empowers individuals to be more involved in their treatment, Epstein emphasized that researchers will need to understand the product's margins of error before it can be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
"What is the risk if the device says you're healthy, but you really have cancer?" Epstein asked.
In addition to his cancer detection research, Sakairi highlighted Hitachi's work in developing a product that detects explosive materials and other substances, including ammonium nitrate and gunpowder.
The group is developing a new form of Explosive Trace Detection , which identifies trace amounts of explosive materials on the hands of people passing through a security gate.
Epstein, who currently works with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said that these systems outlined by Sakairi "are not for detecting the bomb, they're for detecting the bomber."
Conventional methods involve using a subject's hands for swab-sampling and can take up to 20 seconds, Sakairi said. The goal of the team's new auto-sampling method is to shorten that process to under five seconds.
Using this method, each passenger has a card that they touch to a reader on the boarding gate. The card serves the dual purpose of identifying the passenger and allowing the sampler port to remove substances adhering to the card. An air jet attached to the port removes the material and sends it to a mass spectrometer for identification.
The AAAS-Hitachi lecture series began in 2009, and has featured guests such as then-U.S. Senator John Kerry and faculty members from institutions like Stanford University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Q: LIMIT and UNION ALL not returning the requested number of records I have a table with multiple type values and I'm wanting to get a sample records from some of them.
My current query is as follows:
-- Pulling three sample records from each "type"
SELECT * FROM example WHERE type = "A" LIMIT 3
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM example WHERE type = "B" LIMIT 3
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM example WHERE type = "C" LIMIT 3
;

I expect this to return a total of 9 records; 3 from type = "A", 3 from type = "B", and 3 from type = "C".
However, the result that I actually receive is 3 records from type = "A" and nothing else.
I know for a fact that the other type values exist because I can run the individual SELECT statements and they return results.
Why is MySQL only returning 3 records and how can I have it return the full 9 records that I want?
I've created a SQL Fiddle to illustrate the issue: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/d911c/2

A: Use parentheses:
(SELECT * FROM example WHERE type = "A" LIMIT 3)
UNION ALL
(SELECT * FROM example WHERE type = "B" LIMIT 3)
UNION ALL
(SELECT * FROM example WHERE type = "C" LIMIT 3);

Demo here
This is documented in the manual:

To apply ORDER BY or LIMIT to an individual SELECT, place the clause
  inside the parentheses that enclose the SELECT:
(SELECT a FROM t1 WHERE a=10 AND B=1 ORDER BY a LIMIT 10) UNION
  (SELECT a FROM t2 WHERE a=11 AND B=2 ORDER BY a LIMIT 10);

A: Put parentheses around the selects
(SELECT * FROM example WHERE type = "A" LIMIT 3)
UNION ALL
(SELECT * FROM example WHERE type = "B" LIMIT 3)
UNION ALL
(SELECT * FROM example WHERE type = "C" LIMIT 3)

SQLFiddle

A: The limit is applied to all rows, not just each section. i.e. your setting a limit of 3 on all queries, not each section. So in order to apply a limit to each section you'd need to sub query it:
SELECT * FROM (select * from example WHERE type = "A" LIMIT 3) tbl1
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM (select * from example WHERE type = "B" LIMIT 3) tbl2
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM (select * from example WHERE type = "C" LIMIT 3) tbl3
;

That should give you the result you are looking for

Millimetre-wave beams could give us access to deep geothermal energy
Optimised for fusion research, millimetre-wave beam technology could be adapted to access the heat that lies several kilometres below Earth's surface, says Eugene Linden
Environment | Comment 10 August 2022
By Eugene Linden
FOR years, those looking to generate electricity without using fossil fuels have dreamed of tapping the virtually unlimited heat source that lies 8 kilometres or more beneath Earth's surface. Prior efforts have been stymied because getting to that heat entails drilling into rock that is too hard for conventional techniques. Now, one tantalising possibility involves repurposing an existing technology to tap into this source and produce electricity at a lower cost than any existing form of power generation.
This isn't, however, simply a matter of economics. Even if all nations were to meet the pledges that were made under the Paris Agreement on climate change, temperatures …

Ernst: Tax reform would provide much-needed relief and opportunity for Iowans
Sen. Joni Ernst
It has been more than 30 years since the last time the United States comprehensively reformed our tax system. In that time, the length of the tax code has doubled to 2.4 million words — the equivalent of reading "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" 31 times.
While navigating the complex tax code is nowhere near as fun as reading about a Quidditch match, it is often a necessity for hardworking taxpayers who simply want to pay their income taxes on time.
The frustrating reality is that Americans spend approximately 8.9 billion hours a year filing taxes. But perhaps more remarkable is the hefty price tag that Americans face when it comes to filing taxes, totaling almost $99 billion a year.
Our tax code is not only a complicated headache for families and individuals — it also puts American businesses at a disadvantage. At 35 percent, our tax rate on larger businesses is the highest in the developed world. Meanwhile, small businesses, which make up 97 percent of employers in Iowa, are seeing taxes reach as high as almost 45 percent! These are hardly incentives for businesses of all sizes to move to or remain in the U.S.
In the years that followed the worst economic recession since the Great Depression, our economy underachieved, and our outdated tax system certainly did not help. On average, the U.S. economy grew by just 1 or 2 percent annually in prior years. This has left many middle- and low-income households struggling to make ends meet. Since the end of the recession, middle-class folks around Iowa have seen stagnant wages while their bills have become more expensive and health care costs have skyrocketed.
With a pro-business president in the White House, we are seeing a return to policies that let the American market do what it does best, for its long overdue that the federal government get out of the business of trying to fix the economy. In fact, economists estimate that lowering the tax rate on job creators of all sizes would foster long-term economic growth, which would boost incomes for the average household by thousands of dollars.
By streamlining our cumbersome tax system and eliminating loopholes that primarily benefit the wealthy, Congress has an opportunity to lower tax rates for middle- and low-income Iowans and dramatically decrease the amount folks are taxed. Despite what you might read or hear, the Senate proposal would not cut Medicare, Medicaid, mortgage interest deductions, or student loans, just to name a few. The non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation found that the Senate legislation — on average — would provide every income group with tax relief.
Likewise, by creating a more competitive tax system for businesses, we can foster greater growth and investment in the United States while boosting wages and job opportunities for hardworking Iowans. The Tax Foundation estimates that the plan would create over 10,000 jobs in Iowa and a middle-income family in Iowa would see roughly $2,600 more in their paycheck annually.
Additionally, I am thrilled that bipartisan legislation that I helped lead, known as the Investing in Opportunity Act, has been included in the Senate tax reform plan. This provision builds on efforts for much-needed tax relief for low and middle-income earners. By incentivizing private investment in struggling communities, it would spur economic growth in poverty-stricken areas, bringing hope and opportunity back to many distressed rural communities in Iowa and across the country.
I believe Congress would also be remiss if we do not lead by example and offer up our own unnecessary tax break. That is why I introduced the Stop Questionable, Unnecessary, and Excessive Allowances for Legislators (SQUEAL) Act, which would eliminate a provision of the tax code that allows members of Congress to deduct, for income tax purposes, up to $3,000 annually in living expenses while in the Washington, D.C., area. As we seek to achieve the ultimate goal of lowering rates for hardworking families and small businesses, Congress should start by eliminating handouts to politicians.
It is long overdue for our country to pursue a simpler tax code that provides much-needed relief for hardworking Iowans that puts our economy back on track. In the coming weeks, I look forward to continuing to hear input from Iowans on tax reform, and working with my colleagues on a path forward that reduces the burden our complicated tax system places on our families, individuals, and small businesses and instead creates more opportunities for all.
Joni Ernst is a U.S. senator from Red Oak.

CBD is most commonly taken orally in a concentrated paste or drops/ tincture format. To take CBD oil first hold it under the tongue to be absorbed in the mouth prior to swallowing. This step is important because some of the CBD taken will be broken down by the digestive system. Other oral methods include capsules, mouth strips, and edibles such as chocolate bars. Many people also enjoy using CBD vape oil or CBD eliquid via vaporizers or inhalers as this is a near instant delivery method that can be quite effective. Others use CBD oil by taking it through the skin via lotions, balms, creams or patches. There are many ways to take CBD oil, what matters most is trying a few different approaches and seeing what works. Again, everyone is different.
1 bottle containing 1000 mg of CBD Oil.
The flavor of your choice: Vanilla, Strawberry, or Blueberry.
Following suggested serving size there are about 30 servings of 30 mg CBD per bottle. Keep in mind this serving size delivers very little CBD. Anyone addressing anything serious would need to take much more CBD per serving and should consider buying a CBD concentrate.

Greyhounds putting pieces in place
April 30, 2019 - Sports, Track and Field - Tagged: greyhounds, Naugatuck High School, track and field - no comments
by Ken Morse, Citizen's News
NAUGATUCK — Track and field is a sport with many moving parts trying to all come together in the pursuit of excellence.
Over the past few seasons, the Greyhounds had to focus their resources on specific events and left some points on the board in the process. Naugatuck is filling those gaps this season, and the Greyhounds have moved toward the top of the pack in the Naugatuck Valley League.
"We are still in the process of putting some pieces in place to help us to be successful," head coach Ralph Roper said. "The boys and girls teams are doing very well at this point, and we continue to work hard to get better with each meet."
The boys team swept a tri-meet with Woodland and Sacred Heart on April 23 to improve to 8-0.
The girls team fell by just 14 points to six-time defending NVL champion Woodland and beat Sacred Heart, and continues to be the surprise in the league at 6-2.
"We were close, and as I told the kids it wouldn't be easy," Roper said. "We just fell short. Not to take anything away from Woodland, they just have so many weapons."
The Naugy boys set the tone April 23 by winning all three relays. The 4×100 team of Sean Evardo, Shane Carey, Jeff Schebell and Chris Akindura took first in 44.5 seconds. The 4×400 squad of Ben Healy, Jon Volpe, Zach Koslosky and Isaiah Williams (3 minutes, 35 seconds) and the 4×800 foursome of Volpe, Matt Nofri, Austin Herb and Charley Marenghi (8:58) completed the sweep.
Koslosky won the 300 hurdles (41.8) and the pole vault (13 feet, 6 inches). Akindura took first in the 100 (11.34) and Volpe won the 800 (2:10).
The girls team won two of three relays. The 4×100 team of Kaitlyn Zarrella, Rachel Huculak, Paige Cruz and Kylie Neretich posted a 52.7, and the 4×400 squad of Julia Dudek, Cruz, Liz Kroos and Alyssa Zarrella won in 4:36.
In individual events, Neretich won the 200 (28.4) and the 100 hurdles (16.5). Allison Murphy won the 400 (61.1) and 800 (2:27), Huculak won the 100 (13.5), and Zarrella won the 300 hurdles (52.7).
The girls team has developed depth and diversity throughout the lineup.
Kaylee Jackson provides a long distance threat in the 1600 and 3200, and Brianna Soubannarath is a versatile performer in the high jump and pole vault. Naugy utilizes throwers Riley Arellano, Abby Lawson and Brin Battisti.
Emily Kropo has come on of late in the high jump, and Lilly Lyons has put points on the board in the triple jump. Evelyn Diaz (mid-distance), Lauren Rupsis (relays) and Julia Kropo (relays) give the Greyhounds the deepest team they have had in quite a few seasons.
"We are trying to not only have a go-to person in each event we are trying to groom two or three athletes in each event," Roper said. "If someone has an off day the other can pick up the slack and we don't give up anything."
Naugy will face Oxford and Waterbury Career on Tuesday. The Greyhounds will close out the regular season next week versus Watertown and Seymour before preparing for the NVL championships later in May.

Homeless Man Who Returned Diamond Ring Reunites With Family on National TV, Set to Collect $189,000
Billy Ray Harris, the homeless man from Kansas City, Mo., who showed tremendous integrity by returning a diamond-and-platinum engagement ring that was accidentally dropped into his change cup back in February, is now an international celebrity.
On Sunday, Harris was reunited with his family on NBC's Today show and a fundraiser established in his honor has received 8,280 donations for a total of $189,000... and counting.
His quintessential rags-to-riches story is not only heartwarming, but attests to the amazing powers of the Internet and social media.
To recount his story, Harris discovered an engagement ring after a woman dumped spare change from her purse into his cup. Sarah Darling had taken off her ring earlier that day and put it with the coins because the ring was bothering her finger.
"The ring was so big that I knew if it was real, it was expensive," the 55-year-old Harris told KCTV in February. He took it to a local jeweler, who offered him $4,000 on the spot. Instead of taking the money, Harris decided to hold onto the ring, sensing the donation was a mistake and that the woman would come back to claim it.
In explaining why he didn't try to sell the ring, Harris told KCTV, "My grandfather was a reverend. He raised me from the time I was six months old and thank the good Lord, it's a blessing, but I do still have some character."
When Darling realized her error, she returned to Harris' regular spot on Kansas City's Country Club Plaza. She told him that she might have given him something valuable. When she confirmed it was a ring, he said, "Well, I have it."
"It seemed like a miracle," Darling said. "I thought for sure there was no way I would get it back."
Darling and her husband, Bill Krejci, were so moved by Harris' selflessness that they started an online fund for him on the GiveForward web site. As of last night, it had surpassed $189,000. The fundraiser will continue until May 15.
Harris' act of selflessness drew international attention as his story went viral on both the Internet and TV news shows, including a segment on Sunday's Today show, where producers assembled a surprise family reunion.
"This is a really big surprise," Harris said during a joyous reunion with his four siblings. "I'm in shock." Harris hadn't seen or spoken with his siblings in more than a decade.
The world is much brighter for Harris since the diamond ring landed in his cup. "This is a big payoff," said a visibly emotional Harris. "Got it all right here now."

Dust-Raisers Of Hell Watch
MAKSIM VINIARSKI
We all must decide how to get rid of Lukashenka.
While all our neighbors are taking emergency measures to slow down the spread of the pandemic, we see only the progressive madness of the dictator in Belarus.
Other structures - from ministers to ordinary executors - are following Lukashenka, who do not want to notice the pandemic. The police are chasing bloggers who are trying to find out the true information about what is happening. The Ministry of Health is asking riddles and keeping mouth shut. Doctors, who are blackmailed with a nondisclosure agreement, are shamefully hiding their eyes when asked about the number of sick people. Even the public transport controllers are stubbornly pretending that their grey and blue vests can protect them from the virus.
No questions to Lukashenka, for many years the dictator has been considering himself a higher being, who defies the problems of ordinary mortals, but the rest of you should think about. The virus doesn't care about your posts and titles, no uniforms but a suit of chemical protection can defend against it. It can't be hit with a baton, fined or imprisoned. You can't show it your service ID. You can't ban it by decree.
However, as they say, half a fool half a knave. It's clear what the dictator is laying his account with. He's ready to let the Belarusians pass the "survival test". At any minute, the number of pensioners may become smaller, and the mortality rate may help to cope with unemployment. That is why he does not declare quarantine, does not stop the work of enterprises, does not call for self-isolation.
His sycophants are doing the usual thing by the habit: they're fussing and showing zeal: "You're on watch, don't you dare to quit without finishing it, the mechanic isn't happy with you..." They only have forgotten how that dust-raiser ended up - his corpse was thrown overboard the ship with piece of iron tied to his legs.
We - common people, doctors, and even ministers - are all consumables for Lukashenka. If need be, everyone goes overboard. Those ones who used to give criminal orders and those ones who used to obey them. We're all his hostages. And we all must decide how to get rid of him. Before it's too late.

Philly Summer Blues Fest featuring the Dukes of Destiny & The Deb Callahan Band – Tickets – World Cafe Live Philadelphia – Upstairs – Philadelphia, PA – July 20th, 2019
Philly Summer Blues Fest featuring the Dukes of Destiny & The Deb Callahan Band
Sat · July 20, 2019
World Cafe Live Philadelphia - Upstairs
$18 + Fees
https://www.worldcafelive.com/event/1854865/
The Dukes of Destiny
In 1985 a bunch of young, local musicians got together and began playing old blues songs in a rambling three-story house in Philadelphia. They decided to take the act on the road as The Dukes of Destiny, a name they got from a matchbook cover urging the reader to "Be the Captain of Your Own Destiny." At first, The Dukes of Destiny played house parties in the Germantown and Mt. Airy sections of Philly, generating interest by word of mouth. A gig at the now-defunct Taker's Café in Germantown launched their public career, and 31 years later, they are still playing some of the hottest, most danceable blues and old school soul in the Philadelphia area. Today The Dukes of Destiny reign as Philadelphia's longest-lived and best loved blues act.
There have been changes in the act: guitarists left and came back, bass and sax players moved and or left the band, and sadly, singer and founder Steve Brown died in March of 2000. But the approach and commitment of the band has remained constant for over 30 years, resulting in a band with a unique tightness and an original approach to the music. With a mix of powerful original songs and unique arrangements of blues and soul standards, The Dukes of Destiny continue to grow and develop as they share their music through countless live performances and recordings.
The Dukes have released four CDs: The Dukes of Destiny (1991), House of Forbidden Love" (1997), Dukes of Destiny 3" ( 2004) featuring 6 original compositions by John Colgan-Davis and the debut of Arlyn Wolters, and Higher, (2013) which features original compositions by Arlyn Wolters, AC Steel and John Colgan-Davis. They are regularly featured on Jonny Meister's Blues Show on WXPN and on other Blues and roots shows. This year they will appear at the Philadelphia Folk Festival's Sunday Blues Afternoon playing alongside Walter Wolfman Washington.
Clearly, The Dukes continue to produce strong and unique high-quality music. They are proud to reign as "Philly's longest lived and best loved blues band."
Deb Callahan
Philly's blues-soul artist Deb Callahan and her band recently celebrated 20 years of performing, touring, recording and entertaining music fans both regionally and around the United States. Deb has released 5 CD's since 2002 (If the Blues Had Wings, The Blue Pearl, Grace & Grit, Tell It Like It is, Sweet Soul) and a limited edition World Café Live DVD. She has graced the stages at many festivals nationwide from The Monterey Bay Blues Festival in Monterey, CA, The Springing the Blues Fest in Jacksonville, FL, The Bayfront Blues Fest in Duluth, MN to WXPN's XPonential Music Festival right here in Philly. Her latest CD Sweet Soul was recorded and produced by producer/drummer Tony Braunagel (Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray) in Los Angeles, CA and released in September 2015. It received some great national and international airplay on blues and triple A radio stations and good press and reviews, including making the top 50 contemporary blues albums for 2016 for the Blues Music Report. She has received the America's Music Festival Series in Media, PA Hall of Fame Award, made the top 10 for 2015 for reviewer Mark Gallo and was a Blues 411 2015 "Jimi Award Nominee" – nominated for Best Soul – R & B Album. she is currently working on writing material for her 6th CD. Deb performs with her band of Philadelphia greats Allen James on guitar, Garry Lee on bass and Tom Walling on drums.

Welsh schools 'could save money on office supplies'
Schools in Wales could save tens of millions of pounds each year by securing better deals on office supplies and office equipment, it has been suggested.
Making bulk purchases of office supplies as part of a larger public sector consortium could help cut procurement bills by as much as ten per cent, the Assembly has claimed.
With all 1,800 schools in Wales achieving the same ten per cent reduction on office equipment and supplies, a total savings of up to £20 million could be seen on an annual basis, the Western Mail reports.
It has also been estimated that around 1,000 extra teachers could be hired with the money saved.
Head of Llantwit Major school Vince Brown believes he could save up to 20 per cent by purchasing lower-priced office supplies such as whiteboards and exercise books, according to the publication.
Meanwhile, finance minister Andrew Davies said: "Some 290 schools in Wales are using collaborative agreements to buy stationery and over 50 schools are getting a better deal on computers and printers.
"But there is much more we can do to become more efficient to improve education services further."
In related news, a recent survey by Toshiba found that UK workers generally do not adequately organise their office supplies.
At Paperstone we can supply your firm with a wide selection of office supplies.


for weddings, parties, school re-unions etc.
Wether you require a cash bar or a non-cash bar we are able to offer what you want, at very competitive terms.
We can supply from a simple one lager, cider, and beer option, to a full bar.
We will endeavour to supply the "Guest of Honour's" favourite REAL ALE/WINE/TIPPLE !
We will discuss any Licensing requirements.


The pipeline shortage that has been strangling the Canadian oil industry is weighing on spending plans for next year, with one major producer slashing its capital budget for 2019 by $1 billion.
Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., citing a lack of shipping options, said on Wednesday that it's targeting a base capital plan of $3.7 billion for next year, about $1 billion less than its normalized plan. Of next year's spending, only 16 per cent is aimed at increasing output, and the remainder is allocated to keeping it flat.
The oilsands producer, which is projecting 2019 output equivalent to as much as 1.12 million barrels of crude a day, is the first major Canadian energy company to announce its spending plans for next year. With Western Canada's pipelines overflowing, its crude selling at deep discounts and the province of Alberta mandating industry-wide production cuts, the company's reduced spending may be a harbinger of similar announcements from its peers.
Canadian Natural said it has the flexibility to invest as much as $700 million more next year if prices and market access improve. That capital would be focused on increasing production in 2020 and beyond, rather than immediately.
The company is targeting crude and natural gas liquid production of 782,000 to 861,000 barrels per day next year, in line with this year's levels. Natural gas output will be 1.49 billion to 1.55 billion cubic feet a day, a 2 per cent drop from this year.
Shares of the Calgary-based producer rose 4 per cent to $37.23 at 12:32 p.m. in Toronto. The stock was down 20 per cent this year through Tuesday, compared with a 15 per cent decline for the S&P/TSX Energy Index.

Dear hardcore – we can do better.
Dear hardcore,
There's a few things we need to talk about. A couple of months ago, when Kate and I went to the Emmure show, the age difference between us and the average hardcore fan hit us harder than ever before. I had to keep double checking that I was admiring dudes with facial hair as that seemed to be a surefire guarantee that they were above the age of 18. There was something that struck us far more though. As Chelsea Grin hit the stage, I glanced over at the moshpit. Around the edge stood three girls who were wearing lace bandeaus and nothing else on top. Now, if those girls were just feeling super confident about themselves and thinking 'fuck yeah, I'm rocking this joint', then I've got no beef with that. Their body language suggested something rather different. I watched them for a few minutes, maybe. They spent most of that time consciously pulling up the little bits of lace, staring nervously around the room. When they weren't doing that, they were tentatively moving closer into the pit before moving back out again, unable to keep up with the furious slam dancing. Later in that evening, we went to the merch stand. On the way back up to the front, Kate had a slight wardrobe malfunction. Nothing major, just a little bit of bra showing, but the amount of disparaging glares from male members of the audience was shocking. The truth is, there's not a lot of respect among young hardcore fans today. Misogyny and general disrespect runs rampant through a genre that was once a community of anger. Sure, you hated everyone else in the world, but all of the people in that room were your family for a few hours. That's not the case any more, not by a long shot.
Lyrically speaking, there's a few instances in today's hardcore/deathcore/metalcore/insert-your-favourite-core that make my stomach turn. It's funny when we're driving along in my car and Kate yells "I want to watch you suck his dick!" in my face, but when Palmeri is snarling it out to a crowd, it takes on something a bit more sinister. The first Chelsea Grin EP is laden with violent fantasies about revenge on an unnamed woman. One song about a cheating ex-girlfriend makes sense, but the entire record is jam packed with references to diseased vaginas and choking on dick. Admittedly, it's a trend that drops off very quickly in their career – the band start to delve into Biblical metaphors and general feelings of discontent in their later record. That first EP is a product of the follies of youth; rough and raw around the edges. Is that the only kind of anger the youth can possess though? There's been plenty of young bands that I've seen around the scene at tiny shows, screaming out against bitches and sluts. Skinny, pale boys barely past school age looking wildly around a room, desperately trying to find camaraderie in the other guys in the audience, cry out that this song is dedicated to anyone that's ever been slept around on before launching into their diatribe. These are kids that are stuck in suburbia, faced with a profound boredom that only comes from sleepy little towns where everybody knows everybody. If they're angry about anything else, they don't yet know how to express it past those initial feelings of being wronged, and it breeds a certain contempt. Some of this is general fuck-the-world kind of stuff. The rest is a disturbing hatred for the women who have wronged them in some way or another. And if it's not violent, it projects the message that women are nothing more than sex objects. Although Fight Paris' Paradise Found is a scuzzy blend of southern rock and hardcore that sounds incredible played loud, the opening line goes "Damn right that slut's my bitch, she fucking sucked my goddamn dick". And it pretty much goes on from there.
Yet, this is the kind of music that I love, and hardcore has been a 'boys club' for a long, long time. There are more female vocalists than ever before, and there's a good number of ladies that play other instruments, but it's still an overwhelming minority. Magazines still do polls on the 'sexiest women in rock'. Merchandise is overwhelmingly sexist. Drop Dead Clothing's collection is far less visceral than it used to be, but they used to have sweaters featuring dismembered girls and the phrase 'sluts get cuts' plastered on the back. Alternative club nights end up with guys being hailed as heroes because they get a blowjob on stage. But we get used to it. We nod and smile and go along with it all, because it's just music, right? It's ironic to wear the shirts plastered with 'ask your girl what my dick tastes like'. This in itself creates a community of acceptance with no tempered awareness that actually, maybe, this isn't that cool. I believe that we should celebrate the differences in gender, but we shouldn't put one or the other down, or perceive that the other is weaker or lesser. We shouldn't use women as vehicles for anger and aggression. We shouldn't project our anxieties and our fears onto them, not when there so much else out there to be angry about. The worst part? Women are then conditioned to put each other down in these scenes. Not every girl that enters the moshpit has an agenda, but there'll always be one who feels that she has to prove herself, to show that she's better than all of the other women. There's the scene queens who stand at the bar and scoff at the girls in oversize shirts and Vans. I do my best to be polite and pleasant because I just can't stand the frostiness and the bitchiness that shouldn't even exist in the first place. Instead of dragging each other down, we should be building each other up.
Not every band needs to be political. You need only look at Black Flag, Minor Threat or Gorilla Biscuits to know the cry of disaffected youth. Not all disappointment and upset comes from within your core. It's okay to be angry, but we need to be responsible with it. We need to take that anger and make something better with it. And maybe use the dismembered girl metaphors a bit more sparingly.
xoxo – Robyn
