January tends to be wet in Sussex but this year it was seriously, I'm-not-kidding-you wet. Lying at the bottom of a valley, the garden is a convenient sump for all the run-off from the surrounding woods and fields. During and after heavy rain, water streams through the grounds and into the ponds; it races through ditches and fills dips and depressions in the lawn. I'm used to areas of submerged grass in winter; like this shallow, boating lake just outside the front door. Sometimes the west pond laps where it oughtn't, swamping more lawn and the odd shrub. The poor, stoic beech hedge regularly paddles in muddy water. But when a footbridge acts like a raft and sets out on a nautical adventure, I knew that yep, this was a very wet January indeed. With the main drainage ditch overwhelmed (how it normally looks) and the vegetable beds drowned this was the worst Priory flood I've seen. I made these raised beds five years ago but stupidly didn't build them two foot high … or on pontoons. The east pond seeped out over paving and washed against the back wall of the house. And all because the river (a stream in truth) had finally burst its banks. It has often teased me over the years; swelling wide and deep, roaring through the trees, occasionally knocking one over in its excitement. But it always receded before really misbehaving. Bloated far beyond its usual three-foot bed it has quickly, obediently shrunk back again; the banks unbreached. But this year it didn't shrink back again but instead surged over into Margaret's fields and poured into the garden. I knew it would happen one day. And if it was worrying, it was also marvellous; in the way that powerful acts of nature are; like overly melodramatic thunder and lightning or improbably huge and scary ocean waves. A powerless to intervene, stop and stare event. Drainage channels that should have carried excess water out to the river and away from the house, instead provided easy passage for river water back up to the Priory. At least the sheep were safe. They had sought higher ground and none were lost or swept away. It hadn't occurred to me that my compost and leaf bins (built on raised ground between two ditches) would ever be inundated. All that wash-through did sweep mats of duckweed off the ponds. An annual flood or two is always welcome for completing that chore. And the gardens were even more rabbit proof than usual. Who'd have guessed that the fern boat would ever embark on a new voyage? At last, with one of the house door-sills barely an inch above the flood, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. I ventured out with my camera to inspect the damage as the water level peaked and then ebbed – leaving new temporary islands and duckweed smothered grass. It could have been far worse of course. The house last flooded in 2000 causing thousands of pounds of damage and one day it will flood again. But not this time.
Great title. Fab pics. You sound very relaxed about it all. Does that water logging not distress any plants or trees?
We have a stream of water causing similar problems around here, almost every (or twice!) a year. During monsoon in spring and autumn. Yes because we have monsoon, I have no other scientific explication for that amount of rain. I really hope the house is ok and the garden will recover soon. Oh and obviously thank God there hasn't been any casualties amongst sheep!!!
Yeah that happens because they build houses where they shouldn't and there's a bad maintenance of streams. People can't imagine what a stream can become with exceptional rainfall!
I have great sympathy with anyone who suffers from flooding, we live a few miles from, but not in the flood area of Upton upon Severn.
Your photographs are wonderful, such clarity and depth of colour, thank you.
I have a feeling that you won't suffer from drought in the near future……January was wetter than normally over here, we got lots of snow and rain, I hate Winter !!!!!
Hang on in there, Gwennie. We're almost done with winter.
Like the Nile River! Good thinking!
Thanks for the optimism Amelia but I thought more of huge amount of weed-seed being brought in rather than good fertile sediment.
That is an incredible amount of water! I suppose as long as it stays relatively mild the plants won't mind, it is water-logging combined with low temperatures that does the damage.
Well, even though this is a calamity for you, I must compliment you on the pictures. Very clear, very beautiful. I live in middle Georgia in the USA South and we had a summer of rain in 2013 that almost drowned us for over three months. But fortunately I live on higher land and had no problem other than looking at rain day after day through the windows. Our area was as lush green as I have ever seen it and I'm 80 years old. Hope you get some relief soon but I do say your blog and pictures are interesting and very lovely.
We used to have scenes like this along the right hand side of our lane, then three years ago the two nearby tributaries, one 15 metres from our house were dredged by the drainage board, its made a massive difference, but then maybe we've had less rain here? How do you deal with the flooding damage to fertility?
I hadn't heard about this heavy rain in Sussex. Hope there is no permanent damage. Its been very dry here lately, not like the usual Devon.
Oh lordy – its Waterworld. We have had hardly any rain this winter – now I know why – you've had it all instead.
Gosh that is a worry. It is an impressive and incredible force of nature, but still a worry. There was I chewing myself to bits about a bit of waterlogging on one little lawn. This post has put me in my place! Great photos by the way.
I live in "Wash-ington State" We're always wet and that explains our "Rain Forest". Those Hawaiian Trade winds and all the water have to go somewhere. When this happens here we get our boots on and grab the fishing nets! Salmon!
That's a lot of water! And I'm slightly surprised that The Priory has more of it now than last winter.
And I thought I had soggy grounds. Wow!
That's a lot of water. I hope no permanent damage has been done to the garden. Although things have been quite soggy here in Wiltshire, we've not had anything to match the floods of last (2013-14) winter – when one of my gardens was in a similar state to yours, judging by the pictures.
I noticed that the river level at The Farm had dropped a bit last week, though still well above normal (whatever that might be). We've had no rain to speak of for a couple of weeks now, so things will start to dry out as the sun warms up a bit.
That's a lot of water. The owners must be relieved.
Wow. You have more water at the Priory than we have in the entire state of New Mexico. (We got .7 inches of rain in January — double our historic average!) Glad all are safe and well, if soggy. The fern boat has a lovely "Lady of Shalott" look to it in the water.

Yakutat Army Airfield is a former United States Army airfield located three nautical miles (6 km) southeast of the central business district of Yakutat, a city and borough in the U.S. state of Alaska which has no road access to the outside world. After its closure, it was redeveloped into Yakutat Airport.

History
Yakutat Army Airfield was constructed as part of the United States Army's long-range defense program for Alaska.  During World War II the airfield was a key USAAF base during the Aleutian Campaign.  It was used in combat by the 406th Bombardment Squadron (June–November 1942) (28th Bombardment Group).

More Than $10 Billion Recorded For NFT Total Sales From July To September 2021
Sales of non-fungible tokens (NFT) surged to an astounding number of $10.7 billion in the third quarter of 2021, more than eight times bigger than the previous quarter as the craze for crypto assets hit new highs.
Many people have been puzzled by the rising sales and sky-high prices for NFTs, which are things that do not exist in the real world, but the rapid rise shows no signs of stopping at all.
https://twitter.com/cryptoslamio/status/1445455418893893634
The total sales of NFT for the third quarter rose from $1.3 billion in the second quarter and $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2021.
Sales volumes on OpenSea, the world's biggest NFT platform, hit $3.4 billion last August. Even in September, when the world's financial markets were collapsing, business remained strong.
Some Predict The Number Is Way Bigger Than $10 Billion
As people utilized cryptocurrencies to buy NFTs, cryptocurrency price rises during the COVID-19 outbreak have often been cited as a driving factor behind the NFT industry's growth.
Certainly, estimates of the size of the NFT market vary depending on what factors are considered. Off-chain transactions, such as non-traditional art sales at auction houses, are often overlooked by data gathering.
Several estimates, which take various blockchains and "off-chain" transactions into consideration, predict the overall sales volume in 2021 will actually be $13.2 billion.
https://twitter.com/Danmartinadigi/status/1372122689863888897
The most expensive known NFT sale happened in March 2021, when a digital collage sold at Christie's auction house for $69.3 million. Even though no known NFT has ever come close to this amount, auction houses continue to conduct NFT auctions, with numerous items collecting millions of dollars.
The Huge Potential of NFT In Near Future
Despite increased sales and the involvement of celebrities and other investors, the number of NFT buyers remains quite small: there were only up to 270,000 active wallets selling NFTs on the ETH blockchain in the third quarter of 2021.
According to NonFungible.com, more than half of all NFTs sold in the third quarter were between the $101 and $1,000 price range, with those selling between $1,000 and $10,000 accounting for 20% of sales and those selling for less than $100 accounting for 17% of total sales.
One NFT brand that experienced particularly significant growth in the third quarter was Art Blocks, a US-based project that sells NFTs of algorithmically generated digital artworks.
On October 2, an Art Blocks NFT was sold for 2,100 ETH (that is about $6.9 million). Meanwhile, the average Art Blocks price in September rose to about $15,100 per NFT, up from $3,300 the previous month, showing the level of demand and product quality shown by the company.

NFTs linked to gaming have also grown significantly, with the blockchain-based game Axie Infinity leading the "play-to-earn" category with $776 million in its Q3 revenues.

What Are Words Worth/ Sentient Value Systems
Taylor Le Melle and Daniella Valz Gen are the first artists and writers undertaking the Writing the City residency programme. Writing the City is a series of residencies that consider the ways language, poetry, writing, sound and action can be used to assemble individuals for the purposes of dreaming, healing and resistance. The residencies explore writing as a way to activate publics, whether spoken, performed, or printed.
For this first residency, artists and writers Daniella Valz Gen and Taylor Le Melle have developed a series of workshops under the title What Are Words Worth/Sentient Value Systems at Church Street Library. The project is set out to expand reflections on:
The value of words.
The value of utterance.
What it means to witness and enact change.
How can we write with the city as it shifts.
The artists have responded to these questions through a series collective writing exercises, from which they will develop a zine about value and exchange.
What Are Words Worth/ Sentient Value Systems collaborators include; Khairani Barokka, Christopher Kirubi, Wail Qasim, Nisha Ramayya, Azad Ashim Sharma and Rehana Zaman.
Writing the City
Writing the City is a series of residencies that consider the ways that language, poetry, writing, sound and action can be used to assemble individuals for the purposes of dreaming, healing and resistance. The residencies explore writing as a way to activate publics, whether that text is spoken, performed, or printed. The project asks questions around activism and access, the social and, documentary aspects of poetry, themes of authorship, collective work and identity and the role poetry plays in transformative pedagogy. Through workshops, listening sessions, performances and readings, Writing the City will create a network of socially engaged artists, writers, poets, performers, and publishers to discuss historic and contemporary poetics and publishing practices in the context of social justice.
Taylor Le Melle
Taylor Le Melle is a curator and writer based in London. They have recently read at ICA London, Jupiter Woods and hmn 12. With Rowan Powell, Taylor runs PSS, a publisher of printed material.

In 2017, Azad's first collection of poetry, 'Against the Frame,' was published by Barque Press. This collection engages with the concept of trauma as a result of the experiences of on-going conflicts in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Additionally, these poems explore the vulnerability of Azad's complex Islamic-Hindu hybrid identity and experiences of xenophobia in a political landscape punctuated by Donald Trump, Brexit, and the rise of new fascisms.

Rehana Zaman
Rehana Zaman is a London-based artist whose practice is concerned with the effect of multiple social dynamics on how individuals and groups relate. These narrative-based pieces, often deadpan and neurotic, are frequently generated through conversation and collaboration with others. Her working process varies with each project, from conventional production methods with a crew and actors, to 3-D animation, to collaboration with researchers, activist groups, members of the public and her family, or a combination of many of these processes at once.
A driving question within Zaman's work is how social political concerns, in addition to providing content, can structure how an artwork is produced. To this extent she has sought to apply methods influenced by radical pedagogy, as in the writings of Paulo Freire, and psychosocial dynamics rooted in Black feminist thought. Zaman is a member of the Women of Colour Index Reading group and is frequently invited to devise and deliver workshops, talks and events for groups and organisations.
Zaman's solo exhibitions include Studio Voltaire, London; Material Art Fair IV, Mexico City and The Tetley, Leeds. Her work was also part of group exhibitions in Eastside Projects, Birmingham; Whitechapel, London; Serpentine Galleries, London and Syndicate, Cologne among others.
Christopher Kirubi
Christopher Kirubi is a London-based poet and artist who uses the mutability and promiscuity of images, objects and text to negotiate the limits of sexuality, gender, race and desire.

Walk by faith... there are days I need a visual reminder of this. The detail in the leaf is so intricate and the words wrap themselves around it. This pendant is made from a soup spoon bowl and flattened by hand with a hammer, then each letter is stamped individually. The leaf hangs independently from the stamped portion and is a wonderful statement piece.
The chain is silver plated dot/dash and measures 24". The pendant hangs about an additional 2 1/2" lower and is 2" wide. This necklace hangs mid chest usually past a standard cut v neck t shirt.


UPDATE: Here's a little info I didn't get a chance to type up yet. In the Spring of 2015, I was sent an image of some adorable hats by a friend via Facebook that didn't have a link. I loved the hats and finally found that they were originally in Russian, which I cannot read, and which Google couldn't translate. A week or so later I searched again, and I found that a woman in Australia had been feverishly working to crack the crochet pattern using the images from the Russian page. Her pattern was instrumental in determining my own adaptation.
My pattern is different in that I use worsted weight yarn (easy to find at craft stores and Walmart - I recommend Caron Simply Soft or Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton). Also, It's available in printable PDF (via Ravelry, click the "download" button), so you can carry a copy of it with you. Thanks for visiting my blog and checking out this pattern!
Here is a blog-post version of my Soft and Sweet Easter Hat pattern. You may print a copy of this post. Click on a photo to enlarge. The pattern is also a free PDF via Ravelry. You will need the latest version of Adobe to open the PDF. Please do not sell or redistribute pattern as your own.

This is great! I love these hats but didn't like that yarn wasn't available or was expensive. Excellent job,thank you!
I am so happy to see you posting again...just a few days ago I wondered if I should take you off my blog list! Hope to see more of your inspiring posts.
I do have several blog posts ready on my mind, I just haven't gotten to typing them recently. Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you so much for this pattern. I have a friend that saw the original posts with the cotton yarn and small hooks. I don't have access to alot of different yarns and tried Caron Simply soft with those small hooks. DISASTER!! I have been searching for two days to find a pattern to do THOSE hats with MY yarn!! You are a life saver!!!
Yay, I'm so glad you found my version! Sounds like it's just in time, too!
Any keywords I should use to make my pattern easier to find? I'm wishing it hadn't taken two days!
That's not your fault! I was using my phone and ipad. Once I used my pc and went into my ravelry account it was very easy to find!!! I'm up to the point on the pattern deciding which to use, the baby or bigger pattern. I asked my friend to measure her twin granddaughters' heads to get the correct measurement.
I love this pattern! I've made many hats but I am a little concerned that it is not curving but rather working flat. I'm on round 11 of child size. Does it pull down after the band? Am I doing something wrong?
Sounds like you're doing it right! It works out fairly flat until the band.


Knackered. Early start where I felt like my breakfast hadn't kicked in energy wise. Again this might come down to only having had one day where I've not worked out in some way in coming up to 3 weeks.
Ah bless. 34 views lol. I've one with 67,000 the last time I looked.
Good session all things considered.
to 106.45-kilos x 1, 1, 2, 4, and 4 reps.
Last leg session before the competition. The only issue was I felt I could have done more reps on the power squat but for the sheer discomfort of the pads on my right shoulder.
to 210-kilos x F. Got a twinge in my left hip. No need to get injured so close to the comp.

Literary and Poetic Representations of Work and Labor in Europe and Asia During the Romantic Era. Charting a Motif Across Boundaries of Culture, Place, and Time
Author: Clason, Christopher R.
Examines Eighteenth-Nineteenth- and early Twentieth-Century topics concerning Romanticism from Great Britain, Germany, France and Japan. Contributing to the work's breadth and depth is its treatment of less traditional sources of writing like the pocketbook and prophesy. In addition, it offers an analysis of neglected writers such as Inchbald, Southcott and Kinoshita Noe.
Other Romanticism Books
1974 - Review of "Don Juan" Criticism: 1900 to 1973
2014 - Two Women Writers and Their Italian Tours: Mary Shelley's Rambles in Germany and Italy 1840, 1842 and 1843 and Lucja Rautenstrauchowa's in and Beyond the Alps

Volleyball Gears Up for Fall
1 year ago Liana Harris
St. John's varsity volleyball team
St. John's varsity volleyball team is gearing up for another exciting season. Senior captains Lauren Antonucci and Anika Eigen-Zucchi talked to The Sabre about developing their team chemistry and what they are looking forward to as we move into the fall.
"I'm really looking forward to playoffs this season. I feel like we have a great offense on our side, and with hard work, we'll be able to beat the teams in our conference," said Antonucci.
Last season, varsity made it to the quarterfinals, but lost in a tough battle with the Academy of Holy Cross. However, things might change this year. "Revenge against Holy Cross, of course," said Antonucci. Holy Cross is the team's biggest conference rival, and they are not easy to beat. However, with hard work, the captains believe that the team will be able to take down Holy Cross and their reigning championship.
"I love getting food before home games," said Eigen-Zucchi. As a tradition, the whole varsity team will hop in three or four of the players' cars and grab food as a team before each game. Popular spots include Chipotle, Panera Bread, Cava, and Sweet Green.
"I can't wait to have our team sleepover!" said Antonucci. As another tradition, varsity has a team party or sleepover at some point during the season. "It's a great chance for us to bond and get to know each other, which helps with the chemistry of the team. The season is more fun when we all connect with each other more than just on the court," added Eigen-Zucchi. As a sport, volleyball requires a lot of trust and cooperation between players, so team bonding is very important.
Fortunately, the captains think that the team's chemistry is already great. "We're all really good friends," said Eigen-Zucchi. Added Antonucci, "And I feel like everyone feels welcome on our team, even the freshmen."
With a strong group of players and a close bond, St. John's varsity volleyball is capable of taking this year's conference title and having fun while doing it.

NHL Morning Coffee Headlines – October 3, 2021
Robin Lehner accuses several teams of medical malpractice plus the latest on Nicklas Backstrom, Jonathan Drouin, Jack Johnson and more in today's NHL morning coffee headlines.
ESPN.COM: Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner alleged several NHL teams regularly gave players drugs such as benzodiazepines and Ambien without prescriptions. He said the Golden Knights weren't among those clubs but implied he'd been on teams that had done so.
Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner (NHL Images).
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Lehner can expect a call by NHL HQ if he hasn't already been contacted. He'll be in hot water if he can't substantiate his allegation. If he can, however, it could prompt an investigation by the league.
NBC SPORTS WASHINGTON: Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom said his injured hip is improving but there's no timetable for his return. The ailment doesn't require surgery and he's been rehabbing it at an offsite location. His status remains week-to-week, leaving him questionable to start the season.
MONTREAL GAZETTE: Jonathan Drouin is the 2020-21 recipient of the Jean Beliveau Trophy, awarded annually to the Canadiens player who best exemplifies leadership qualifies in the community. Drouin's been involved in numerous charities, including those helping children and sick people.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Drouin receiving this honor takes on greater significance when one remembers he took a leave of absence from the Canadiens last season to deal with anxiety. Despite that, he still maintained his charitable work.
The Canadiens announced defenseman Sami Niku is sidelined indefinitely after suffering a concussion in Friday's preseason game against the Ottawa Senators.
TSN: The Canadiens also claimed goaltender Samuel Montembeault off waivers from the Florida Panthers.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: This is seen as an insurance move by the Canadiens with starter Carey Price still recuperating from offseason knee injury. His status for the start of the season remains uncertain.
COLORADO HOCKEY NOW: Sources claim the Colorado Avalanche are expected to sign defenseman Jack Johnson, who's in training camp on a professional tryout offer. With Devon Toews sidelined, he's likely to fill a spot as the fifth or sixth blueliner to start the season.
#NJDevils Ty Smith is dealing with an injury that will keep him off the ice for a number of days.

NHL Morning Coffee Headlines – September 25, 2021
The league will enforce stricter rules for cross-checking, the Olympic schedule is set, plus the latest on Ryan Johansen, Erik Johnson, Joe Thornton and more in today's NHL morning coffee headlines.
THE SCORE: The NHL intends to crack down on cross-checking this season. The focus will be on three specific areas of the rink: along the boards, in front of the net, and in open ice.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: The rule changes are drawing a mixed reaction from players. As always, I'm skeptical as to how tightly enforced these changes will be. I fear we'll see the usual pattern develop whenever such changes regarding on-ice infractions are implemented: closely called early in the season before drifting back to the previous standard over the course of the schedule.
NHL.COM: The men's hockey schedule for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics has been released. It begins on Feb. 9 with Russia (also known as the "Russian Olympic Committee") versus Switzerland, the Czech Republic facing off against Denmark and Sweden taking on Latvia.
Feb. 10 sees Canada squaring off against Germany, the United States against China, Finland going up against Slovakia, and Denmark taking on the "Russian Olympic Committee".
The tournament ends on Feb. 19 with the medal games. The gold medal game begins at 11:10 pm ET.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Canada vs Germany features Edmonton Oilers teammates Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl facing off against each other for the first time in Olympic hockey. That's an early must-watch for me in this tournament.
The "Russian Olympic Committee" will hereafter be referred to as the "ROC" by me throughout the Olympics. The gold medal game starts after midnight my time, meaning my Keurig will be getting a workout that night.
FLORIDA HOCKEY NOW: Joe Thornton and Anton Lundell were absent from Florida Panthers training camp yesterday. Thornton was dealing with a minor sprain while Lundell missed his second straight day with an undisclosed ailment.
THE TENNESSEAN: Nashville Predators center Ryan Johansen is hoping for a big bounce-back year following two sub-par seasons.
THE DENVER POST: Colorado Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson and goaltender Pavel Francouz are trying to put their lost seasons' behind them. Injuries limited Johnson to just four games in 2020-21 while Francouz was sidelined the entire season.
MLIVE.COM: Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider hopes to make his NHL debut this season.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: A highly-touted prospect, Seider could be a Calder Memorial Trophy candidate if he cracks the lineup and plays well in 2021-22.
TSN: Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dylan Samberg is expected to miss six to eight weeks with a high-ankle sprain.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: An unfortunate setback for Samberg, who was expected to become a regular on the Jets blueline this season.
Calgary Flames prospect forward Connor Zary is listed as week-to-week with a fractured ankle after blocking a shot in a rookie game earlier this week.
TVA SPORTS: The Montreal Canadiens signed defenseman Sami Niku to a one-year, two-way contract. Earlier this week, the 24-year-old Niku agreed to a mutual termination of his contract with the Winnipeg Jets.
THE ATHLETIC: The New Jersey Devils hope to convince their one unvaccinated player to change his mind and join their other 49 players in camp who are vaccinated against COVID-19.
THE SCORE: The Washington Capitals will be the first NHL club to feature ads on their jerseys starting in 2022-23 after agreeing to a multi-year deal with Caesars Sportsbook.

NHL Morning Coffee Headlines – September 4, 2021
by Lyle Richardson | Sep 4, 2021
NHL players will participate in the 2022 Winter Olympics, the Senators sign Drake Batherson, the Red Wings ink Filip Hronek to a new deal, and more in today's morning coffee headlines.
NHL.COM: The league has reached an agreement with the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) to take part in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. NHL players will be returning to the Olympics for the first time since the Sochi Games in 2014. The league will break from Feb. 3-22 to allow for the 2022 All-Star Game in Las Vegas followed by the Olympics.
NHL players will take part in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics (NHL.com).
The agreement also provides the league and the NHL Players Association the option for a possible later decision to withdraw from the Beijing Games in the event COVID-19 conditions render participation to be impractical or unsafe.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Some hockey fans and pundits believe the NHL should boycott the Beijing Games for a variety of reasons. That decision, however, isn't up to the league.
The players wanted Olympic participation as part of the extension to the CBA. As a result, the league had to work with the PA, IIHF and the International Olympic Committee to reach an agreement on the Beijing Games. It appears the only thing that will prevent it will be the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.
OTTAWA SUN: The Senators winger Drake Batherson to a six-year, $29.85 million contract. The 23-year-old winger's annual average value is $4.975 million.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Batherson enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2020-21 after two short seasons with the Senators, tallying 17 goals and 34 points in 56 games. The report noted that the versatile two-way forward enjoyed terrific chemistry on a line with Brady Tkachuk and Josh Norris. That should continue in the coming years as the rebuilding Senators rise in the standings. Batherson's new contract could also be a cost-effective deal if he continues to improve as management believes he will.
THE DETROIT NEWS: The Red Wings signed Filip Hronek to a three-year, $13.2 million contract. That's a $4.4 million annual average cap hit for the 23-year-old defenseman.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: An affordable new deal for Hronek, who developed into the Red Wings' best blueliner over the past two seasons. He'll likely be joined on their top pairing by Nick Leddy, who was acquired earlier this summer from the New York Islanders.
STLTODAY.COM: After signing an eight-year contract extension, Colton Parayko assured nervous Blues fans that he's fully recovered from the back injury that hampered him last season. The 28-year-old defenseman missed 21 games but said he required minimal offseason treatment, relying instead on rest and building up the muscles around it.
TRIBLIVE.COM: The Pittsburgh Penguins invited forward Brian Boyle and defenseman Matt Bartkowski to training camp on professional tryout offers. Boyle is attempting a comeback after sitting out last season while Bartkowski spent all but one game last season with the Minnesota Wild's AHL affiliate in Iowa.
NBC SPORTS BAY AREA: Rocky Thompson has stepped down as an associate coach with the San Jose Sharks. Medical reasons prevent him from taking the COVID-19 vaccine, making it difficult for him to perform his duties under the league's COVID protocols for the coming season.
USA HOCKEY: John Hynes, David Quinn, Todd Reirden and Ryan Miller will serve as assistant coaches to head coach Mike Sullivan for the 2022 USA Men's Olympic hockey team.
← NHL Rumor Mill - September 3, 2021 NHL Rumor Mill - September 4, 2021 →
Check out the latest on Jonathan Toews, Connor McDavid, Matthew Tkachuk, Nikolaj Ehlers and more in today's NHL morning coffee headlines.
THE ATHLETIC: in an exclusive interview with Mark Lazerus, Jonathan Toews acknowledged he's probably a COVID "long hauler" given the tell-tale signs of a bout with the coronavirus in February 2020 before the pandemic became widespread. Combined with the cumulative effect of his long NHL career, it led to the symptoms of a mysterious illness that cost him a year, including the entirety of the 2020-21 season.
Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews (NHL Images).
Toews' doctors initially believed his condition was due to chronic immune response syndrome. Feeling rejuvenated, he intends on returning to action this season. He also said he doesn't want his story to overshadow the lawsuits by two former players against the Blackhawks alleging the club's inaction to address their allegations of sexual assault by the team's former video coach a decade ago.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Toews might not be the only NHL player who contracted COVID-19 well before the league shut down the remainder of the regular season in March 2020. Many of them may have been asymptomatic.
THE HOCKEY NEWS: Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid's focus this season is on becoming a more complete player. He believes the key to helping his club go deeper in the playoffs is improving his play without the puck and in his own zone.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Working on the defensive aspects of his game may help McDavid improve his all-around game, but he still needs a good supporting cast for his Oilers to become a serious Stanley Cup contender. While the roster has improved they still have a ways to go no matter how much their captain's game evolves.
THE SCORE: Matthew Tkachuk is entering 2021-22 determined to help the Calgary Flames stage a long postseason run. The Flames reached the playoffs in three of his five seasons in Calgary but failed to advance beyond the first round.
NBC BOSTON: An emotional funeral and procession were held on Monday for former Bruin Jimmy Hayes in his hometown of Dorchester, Massachusetts yesterday. Hayes died suddenly last week at age 31. His brother, Philadelphia Flyers forward Kevin Hayes, recalled Jimmy bringing a cancer-stricken youngster to the Bruins locker room, giving the child one of his best memories before he succumbed to the disease.
NHL.COM: Denmark defeated Norway 2-0 to qualify for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics thanks to an insurance goal by Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers.
WGR 550: Buffalo Sabres forward Zemgus Girgensons collected an assist to help Latvia qualify for the Beijing Games in a 2-1 win over France in Group E qualification action on Sunday.
THE TENNESSEAN: The Nashville Predators re-signed winger Eeli Tolvanen to a three-year, $4.35 million contract.
Former NHLer Matt Calvert has joined the WHL's Brandon Wheat Kings as a development coach. Injuries forced Calvert to announce his retirement earlier this year after 11 seasons.
ARIZONA SPORTS: The Coyotes signed Dylan Guenther to a three-year entry-level contract. He was the ninth overall pick in this year's NHL Draft.
PHILLY.COM:The Philadelphia Flyers will name a new inductee into their Hall of Fame for the first time in five years.

The latest on Jack Eichel, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Evander Kane, participation in the 2022 Winter Olympics and more in today's NHL morning coffee headlines.
SPORTSNET: Elliotte Friedman reported a meeting was held on Aug. 18 between the NHL, NHL Players Association, Buffalo Sabres, Jack Eichel and some medical professionals to attempt a resolution to the impasse between the club and the 24-year-old center.
Buffalo Sabres center Jack Eichel (NHL Images).
Eichel prefers a disc replacement procedure to address the herniated disc in his neck while the club prefers neck fusion surgery. The meeting ended without a solution to the situation.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: The only solution at this point is for the Sabres to trade Eichel to a club that will approve his disc replacement surgery.
TVA SPORTS: Eichel also journeyed to Montreal yesterday, creating speculation on social media that he'd been traded to the Canadiens. The real reason is to attend the BioSteelSports camp. His participation will be off-ice.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: The Canadiens had kicked tires on Eichel earlier in the offseason to gauge the Sabres' asking price. Conjecture linking the Sabres star to the Habs increased last week after he changed agents and intensified over the weekend after the Carolina Hurricanes signed Montreal center Jesperi Kotkaniemi to a one-year, $6.1 million offer sheet.
If the Canadiens don't match the Kotkaniemi offer sheet they'll get the Hurricanes' first-round pick and their third-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. Some observers suggest they could package those picks with their own first-rounder plus a prospect for Eichel.
However, they'll probably have to include a salaried player or two to comfortably fit Eichel's $10 million annual average value within the constraints of their cap payroll. The Sabres could absorb part of Eichel's cap hit but I doubt they'll agree to do so. They'll want him completely off their books.
That's also taking into account putting Shea Weber and Paul Byron ($11.257 million in combined AAV) on long-term injury reserve. Weber could be out for the season but Byron is expected to return from offseason hip surgery in January.
TSN: Speaking of Kotkaniemi, Darren Dreger reports some close to the young center predicted in early July he'd played his final game with the Canadiens after being scratched from a Stanley Cup Final game.
TVA SPORTS' Renaud Lavoie said sources told him the Kotkaniemi offer sheet was the brainchild of Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon and wasn't GM Don Waddell's idea.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: That would explain the reports claiming the Hurricanes attempted to acquire Kotkaniemi via trade and then gave the Habs a heads-up that they were going the offer-sheet route. The Canadiens have seven days from the date the offer sheet was signed (Aug. 28) to match.
ESPN.COM: Emily Kaplan reports sources suggest an agreement is close between the NHL, NHLPA, IIHF and International Olympic Committee allowing NHL participation in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. A decision could be announced next week.
NEW YORK POST: The latest chapter in Evander Kane's turbulent summer sees him being granted a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife Anna. The San Jose Sharks winger accused her of hitting him on four different occasions and swinging around their infant daughter during a heated argument. The couple is currently going through a divorce. Kane is also under investigation by the NHL after Anna accused him of throwing games for money and abandoning their child to party in Europe.
THE MERCURY NEWS: Speaking of the Sharks, fans must be vaccinated against COVID-19 to attend their home games this season.
MONTREAL GAZETTE: Former NHLer Brandon Prust is temporarily leaving social media after apologizing for a tweet telling a woman she should be forced into the sex trade as part of his argument against mandatory COVID-19 vaccines.
THE BUFFALO NEWS: Mike Harrington reports the NHL is contemplating a Heritage Classic game between the Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs in Hamilton, Ontario this season. The game would take place at Tim Horton's Field, which hosts the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
OTTAWA SUN: The Senators signed goaltender Filip Gustavsson to a two-year contract.
← Is There a "Right Way" To Retire NHL Jersey Numbers? NHL Rumor Mill - August 30, 2021 →
Canadiens center Jesperi Kotkaniemi signs an offer sheet from the Hurricanes. Check out the details plus the latest on Sidney Crosby, Mitch Marner and Gerard Gallant in today's NHL morning coffee headlines.
MONTREAL GAZETTE: Canadiens center Jesperi Kotkaniemi signed a one-year, $6, 100,015 million offer sheet from the Carolina Hurricanes. The Canadiens have seven days to match the offer. If they don't, the 21-year-old Kotkaniemi joins the Hurricanes and the Habs get the Canes' first-round pick and their third-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft as compensation.
The Carolina Hurricanes sign Montreal Canadiens center Jesperi Kotkaniemi to an offer sheet (NHL Images).
The 15 dollars tacked on to the end of the $6.1 million represents Kotkaniemi's jersey number with the Canadiens. This offer sheet also includes a $20 dollar signing bonus. That number represents Sebastien Aho's jersey number. The Canadiens attempted to sign him to an offer sheet two years ago but the Hurricanes matched it.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: The Hurricanes' Twitter feed took great delight in trolling the Canadiens once the offer sheet signing was announced. That included issuing a bilingual statement that was almost word-for-word what Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said when he signed Aho to his offer sheet.
The revenge angle and the Hurricanes' joyful spite provided considerable entertainment for some and annoyance over its pettiness from others. I'm more interested in the effect of this signing upon both clubs.
Kotkaniemi would become the second-highest paid forward on the Canadiens if they match the offer. While he has considerable promise, his play to date isn't worth $6.1 million. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman believes the Habs were talking a two-year deal in the $2.5 million per season range. TVASports' Renaud Lavoie said $2.2 million annually was the highest suggestion he heard of Kotkaniemi's worth from sources around the league.
This contract would create a salary-cap headache for the Canadiens. Cap Friendly shows them already above the $81.5 million by over $2.2 million. They can exceed the cap by 10 percent ($89.65 million) during the offseason but must be cap-compliant when the season begins. However, they'll be allowed to go over the cap by $7.857 million if Shea Weber goes on long-term injury reserve as expected for 2021-22 ($89.357 million). They can exceed it by an additional $3.4 million by putting Paul Byron (hip surgery) on LTIR but would have to free up some space once he returns to action in the new year.
Kotkaniemi's new salary would also affect the Habs cap payroll for 2022-23. It would cost $6.1 million to qualify his rights. That's assuming, of course, he plays well enough to earn that type of deal.
The Canadiens already have $69.2 million invested in 12 players for next season, with Nick Suzuki, Alexander Romanov and Jake Evans as restricted free agents. They could attempt to negotiate a longer-term deal with Kotkaniemi for less than $6.1 million but it would probably still be well over $5 million annually. They could get over $7.8 million in relief if necessary should Weber wind up on LTIR again, but it would still be a cap complication the Habs don't need.
Do the Canadiens even want to match? Kotkaniemi signing that offer sheet suggests an unhappiness with his role and his contract talks with the Canadiens. If the Habs don't match, however, his departure will leave them thin at center following Phillip Danault's decamping for Los Angeles via free agency.
The joy of revenge aside for the Hurricanes, this is a bit of gamble for them. The Athletic's Sara Civian indicates this move puts them over the cap by $1.5 million, but she suggested freeing up cap space by trading defenseman Jake Gardiner or someone claims him off waivers. GM Don Waddell undoubtedly has something in mind to address that issue but it remains to be seen if Gardiner is that solution.
Kotkaniemi's consistency issues could follow him to Carolina. That would leave the Canes with a $6.1 million mistake on their books (albeit for just one year) plus the loss of two picks in next year's draft.
They'll also face the $6.1 million qualifying offer, though Friedman believes this offer sheet was made with the knowledge that Kotkaniemi's next contract would be long term for less money. However, would it really be worth it if he doesn't crack their top-six next season or show the potential to do so?
Some are already questioning this move, suggesting Carolina would've been better off using that $6.1 million to keep Dougie Hamilton rather than lose him for nothing to free agency. That criticism will grow louder if Kotkaniemi doesn't play up to his salary for this season.
Other interesting factors could be in play here as we await the Canadiens' decision. I'll have more in the Sunday NHL rumor roundup. Meanwhile, here's the rest of today's notable headlines.
THE ATHLETIC's Rob Rossi observes Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby is wearing the captain's "C" on Team Canada's Winter Olympics' promotional media.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Rossi noted that it hasn't been confirmed Crosby will be Canada's captain in the 2022 Winter Olympics. Nevertheless, it's a safe bet he'll get that honor.
TORONTO STAR: Damien Cox believes Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner will face intense scrutiny this season following the club's first-round collapse to Montreal in the 2021 playoffs.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Marner bore the brunt of fan and media criticism for his underwhelming postseason play. For the first time, he'll be facing a much harsher spotlight in Toronto.
NEW YORK POST: Larry Brooks reports Gerard Gallant will bring a physical edge to the New York Rangers in his first season as their head coach. However, Gallant said they're not plotting revenge on Washington Capitals winger Tom Wilson in their season opener. Wilson manhandled Artemi Panarin and now-former Ranger Pavel Buchnevich in a game last season.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Getting tougher isn't a bad thing as long as it's doesn't overshadow the club's skill. If they waste time chasing Wilson it will throw them off their game.

A good friend or workmate may seem to be a bit overbearing today. You might try to step out of the direct line of emotional fire, but there's nowhere to hide. You don't have the energy or the desire to engage in conflict now. Thankfully, you have a trick up your sleeve that comes in handy. There's no reason to go anywhere else if you can temporarily make yourself invisible. Return when the danger is passed. Your silence speaks more than your words ever could.


This Demonstration illustrates the solutions of the transcendental equations that arise in solving for the bound-state energies and eigenfunctions of a quantum-mechanical particle interacting with a one-dimensional finite square-well potential. It also qualitatively shows how these solutions satisfy the boundary conditions required of bound-state eigenfunctions.
In this Demonstration, solutions of the transcendental equation for the quantum mechanical bound-state energies, , and eigenfunctions, , are shown for a particle in a finite one-dimensional square well. The parameters of the system are the width of the square well, , its depth, , and the mass of the particle, . The solutions of this system are conveniently expressed in terms of the dimensionless parameters and . We can think of as the "strength of the interaction" between the particle and the well, and note that is related to the ratio of the energy of the particle to the depth of the well.
The solutions are obtained in the typical manner for a discontinuous potential: functions satisfying the time-independent Schrödinger wave equation are found for each region of the potential, and then boundary conditions are applied: the symmetry of the potential requires that the eigenfunctions be either symmetric or antisymmetric with respect to the origin, the eigenfunctions must be normalizable, and because the discontinuities in the potential are finite, the eigenfunctions and their first derivatives must be continuous at the boundaries between regions.
Applying this approach, we find that the eigenfunctions are sinusoidal in the well, exponentially decreasing outside the well, and that transcendental equations express the conditions that satisfy the boundary requirements between regions: for the symmetric eigenfunctions, and for the antisymmetric eigenfunctions. In the left-hand plot, as a function of is represented by the gold line, as a function of by the blue lines, and as function of by the red lines.
For a particular value of (remember, this can be thought of as the "strength of the interaction" between the particle and the well), where the gold line intersects the blue lines corresponds to eigenfunctions and energies that satisfy the boundary conditions for symmetric eigenfunctions, and where the gold line intersects the red lines corresponds to eigenfunctions and energies that satisfy the boundary conditions for antisymmetric eigenfunctions.
As you adjust the ratio (the ratio of the bound-state energy to the depth of the well—its value is negative to indicate a bound state), a corresponding dot moves along and when it is located at one of the intersections, the value of corresponds to an allowed bound-state energy of the system!
The right-hand plot shows the unnormalized eigenfunctions as a function of position (symmetric: blue; antisymmetric: red) in the region between the origin and one of the boundaries of the potential well (represented with a dashed vertical line). Adjust the ratio to see that generally the sinusoid inside the well and the exponential outside the well have different slopes at the boundary, showing that they do not satisfy the boundary conditions, BUT the slopes match when the condition is met for the symmetric eigenfunctions and is met for the anti-symmetric eigenfunctions!
Some other important things to note are that increasing (the "strength of the interaction") increases the number of bound states available to the system, and that the number of antinodes of an eigenfunction is qualitatively related to its energy.
For more information about this system see, for instance, section 2.6 and problem 2.29 of D. J. Griffiths, Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, 2nd ed., Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson/Prentice Hall, 2005.

Spock, an iconic presence on the original Star Trek series and its multiple incarnations over the next 50 years, might have been another all-but-forgotten TV character, like Alf or Doby Gillis -- if not for Leonard Nimoy.
As written, Spock was supposed to be logical, emotionless. But Nimoy imbued the alien with a striking humanity telegraphed through tiny gestures -- an eyebrow raise, a furrowed brow.

Spock was Star Trek's only full-time, half-breed character. On the surface, he was a Vulcan; underneath, he was constantly struggling to keep his human half and its emotions in check.
That struggle made for great television. It didn't hurt that he was also playing against a character, William Shatner's James T. Kirk, who wore his own emotions on his yellow sleeve.
Nimoy struggled with the public's inability to separate him from his most famous character. He wrote books about how he both was not and was Spock. But either way, it's clear that you can't tell the story of Nimoy -- who died in 2015 at the age of 83 -- without also telling the story of the Vulcan.
The new documentary For the Love of Spock, which premiered in New York on Saturday at the Tribeca Film Festival, threads that needle while adding another critical and unique strand: the perspective of Nimoy's son.
Director Adam Nimoy expertly uses the film to explore his own sometimes difficult relationship with an icon everyone thought they knew.

Adam, whom I spoke to last week, told me that his Kickstarter-funded documentary is a great way to "say goodbye, and a great way for me to show my gratitude for all the things we've done together."
Their lives were "an incredible journey of ups and downs."
For the Love of Spock is three stories woven together into a solid, emotionally charged strand. There is the story of a gifted actor -- a renaissance man, as he is described in the film -- and his journey from bit player to fame, fortune and permanent pop-culture icon status.
It's also the story of a character who sprang from the mind of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, but became flesh and blood -- and Vulcan salutes -- in the hands of Nimoy. And finally, it's the story of a father and son and their decades-long journey toward love and mutual acceptance.
There's no way to fit 83 years into a rather fast-paced 100 minutes. As a consequence, huge swaths of Nimoy's life and career are mentioned all-too-briefly (his directing career) or not at all (Star Trek V and VI, and much of his latter TV career).
This doesn't diminish For the Love of Spock. Instead, it keeps the narrative more firmly focused on Spock himself, and Nimoy's emotional connection to his craft and those around him.

The documentary has numerous notable voices, including the surviving, principal Star Trek Original Series cast members: William Shatner, Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, and George Takei.
All speak lovingly of Nimoy, sharing anecdotes like the time Nimoy spoke up for Takei, Nichelle and Koenig, saying he wouldn't do the early 1970s animated Star Trek series without their participation.
Adam Nimoy also wrangled virtually the entire principal cast of the Star Trek movie reboot series, including Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg and Zachary Quinto. Adam told me that he interviewed most of them in Vancouver while they were shooting Star Trek: Beyond, the third installment of the reboot -- and the first not to feature Leonard Nimoy.
Everyone there, Adam said, "bent over backward for us." The production lent Nimoy set pieces from Beyond to use as backdrop. They provided crew support and even scheduled the interviews.
"They were very much energized by Dad's presence, decorum, friendliness, support of [the] project. They felt that his spirit was carried on throughout the project. It's till resonating with them now," said Adam.
Interviews with the cast of Star Trek: Beyond illustrate just how present Nimoy was as an actor, well into his late 70s. He also had some real grit.
Star Trek director J.J. Abrams said that, during filming, Nimoy fell and broke his nose. Abrams was devastated, but Nimoy waved him off and insisted they keep on shooting.
Nimoy at work
Adam Nimoy makes ample, effective use of original series clips through the documentary. Though it's not a comedy, there is one laugh-out-loud moment when the director overlays Leonard Nimoy's classic, bizarre Ballad of Bilbo Baggins music video with original series' Main Bridge footage.
CBS actually didn't approve the use of original series footage until just a couple of months ago. Nimoy said they just wanted to see what was going in the final edit.
Even so, Nimoy told me that both Paramount and CBS "have been very much on board." After all, with the 50th anniversary of the original Star Trek series coming this fall, the timing of the documentary couldn't be better.
Adam also got tremendous support from Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock in the current Star Trek films.
"Zach was a driving force behind [the documentary]," said Adam Nimoy. "He got involved as soon as we started trying to put the product together.
Originally, Quinto was going to narrate the film. But in the end, Adam found he had so many archival interviews and voice recordings that he didn't need an overarching narration. Instead, Quinto appears as one of the many people sharing insights and memories of the actor.
The real Nimoy
While Nimoy's work as Spock sits at the core of the film, For the Love of Spock paints a full portrait of man, detailing his somewhat restless and taciturn nature. Nimoy had many interests, including home improvement, a lifelong passion for photography, singing, stage acting and even piloting an airplane.
The film also looks at Nimoy as an absentee parent and his struggles with drinking. The demise of his first marriage is barely addressed, though. His second wife, Susan, was with him until he died, but chose not to appear on camera. (Adam said that she completely supports the project.)

The documentary works because it is, ultimately, a universal story: a boy seeking the love and attention of his father, a man honoring his relationship with a complicated icon.
The physical manifestation of that relationship is a handwritten letter Leonard Nimoy wrote his son in 1973. Adam Nimoy reads the emotional and revealing dispatch throughout the film.
Nimoy said he made the documentary as a sort of culmination of his journey with his father, which, in the third act of Leonard Nimoy's life, was extremely close.
"I did it for my love for him and love for the character [of Spock]," said Adam, who added that the film's title actually has two meanings. The filmmaker also made his moviefor Leonard Nimoy's love.
Even more than a year after his death, there is no shortage of love for Leonard Nimoy or Spock. This expertly crafted, thoroughly entertaining documentary serves as a fitting tribute to both.

'Pig City' – Not all fall down
April 8, 2016 Workers BushTelegraph	1 Comment
[Andy, John and Ian, Paradigm Shift (4zzz fm 102.1 fridays at Noon) – 8 April 2016]
Andy: Three years before the Fitzgerald Inquiry, in the years of fear caused by the Rat Pack's rule, Pig City dared to raise the questions: Who was the bagman? Who was the hit man in the National scam? In this Pig City edition of Paradigm Shift, 4ZZZ's unofficial crime reporter, Dr John Jiggens, examines this period of Queensland's history and the new interpretation of those years given in Matt Condon's trilogy of books about Terry Lewis, the legendary corrupt police commissioner who began as the bagman in the National scam.
Senior Constable John Watt (Task Force) arrests woman at International Women's Day 1978 during the Bjelke-Petersen ban on street marches.
[Plays 'Pig City' by The Parameters, the song that exemplifies the horror felt by many older 4ZZZ listeners and announcers about the police in Queensland during the first decades of this station's life.]
John Jiggens: Matt Condon's True Crime trilogy, Three Crooked Kings, Jacks and Jokers, and All Fall Down, cover the police career of Commissioner Terrence Murray Lewis. These books are best described as Brisbane noir, a chronicle of that dark period in Brisbane's past, evoked by the song Pig City, when a group of corrupt detectives, known as the Rat Pack – whose leader were Terry Lewis, Tony Murphy and Glen Hallahan – were given control of the police by Premier Bjelke-Petersen, with an unspoken understanding that the police force would be used as a private army against Bjelke-Petersen's political enemies. In return, Lewis and co. were given carte blanche to run organised crime in Queensland – prostitution, drugs, gambling – as well as covering-up a score of murders, including the Whiskey au Go-Go fire- bombing, in which fifteen people died.
Listen to Pig City here or listen to Matt Condon at the 17 Group here:
The trilogy has been a phenomenal best-seller in Queensland, with tens of thousands of copies sold: for many older Queenslanders, the traumatic Bjelke-Petersen/Rat Pack era represents a collective scar in their memories, a time when power was blatantly abused, and when they were lied to on an industrial scale by a complicit media. For many, Condon's work serves as a correction for those years of cover-ups by the mainstream media, and as an antidote for the poison they spread thru their hero-worship of Commissioner Lewis and Premier Bjelke-Petersen, an idolatry that 4ZZZ never succumbed too.
JJ: We join Dan O'Neil's Group 17 soiree in West End, as author Matt Condon explains how he was gifted the job as Terry Lewis' biographer, and the moral dilemmas posed for him as a biographer by Terry Lewis's seemingly permanent estrangement from the truth.
A page from the arrest list for the 1967 Civil Liberties march against Nicklin's ban on street marches
JJ: Three crooked Kings begins with the young Terence Murray Lewis joining the police force in 1949 and follows his career as he becomes a detective, teaming up with Glen Hallahan and Tony Murphy. He graduated to become the bagman for 'the big Fella', Police Commissioner Frank Bischof. Under honest Commissioner Whitrod, Lewis was exiled to Cunnamulla; and Three Crooked Kings ends on the day in June 1976 when Lewis first met Premier Bjelke-Petersen at the Cunnamulla airport. What happened that day has been a subject of frequent speculation: Was a plan to remove Whitrod discussed? Was Lewis promised a promotion to Brisbane? We rejoin author Matt Condon at his West End talk.
JJ: Jacks and Jokers, the second part of Matt Condon's history begins in 1976 after the fraudulent Terry Lewis replaces the honest Ray Whitrod as Police Commissioner. It chronicles the destruction of the honest police who were tasked under Whitrod with keeping the Rat Pack out of influence and power. Once Lewis became Commissioner, the Rat Pack's opponents found themselves the hunted. The honest cops were destroyed relentlessly and ruthlessly. Like the corrupt everywhere, Murphy and Lewis feared the power of a good example.
JJ: By this purge of the honest, by the promotion of the corrupt, by removing those who criticised the misuse of police for a political agenda, the police force was transformed into a private army that supported Bjelke-Petersen, spying on and hounding his political opponents. Lewis's support for Bjelke-Petersen was reciprocated by Bjelke-Petersen, who defended Lewis's corruption. The result was a police force always on the lookout for an 'earner', devoted to monitoring and monstering student demonstrators, trade unionists, environmentalist, communists, aboriginals, punks, hippies, druggies, etc. These were the pigs who ruled Pig City.
JJ: The most dangerous verse of Pig City asks: Who was the bagman? Who was the Hitman? Who were the front men? Who were the big men in the national scam? The National scam refers to the National Hotel, which was the subject of a royal commission into police corruption and prostitution in 1964, headed up by Sir Harry Gibbs, after whom the Commonwealth Law Court in North Quay is named. Gibbs cleared the National Hotel, Commissioner Bischof and the Rat pack of involvement in prostitution, earning enduring fame as the only man in Brisbane who couldn't find a prostitute at the National Hotel.
JJ: In the next grab, author Matt Condon backgrounds the causes of the National Hotel inquiry and explains how Bischof and the Rat Pack managed their escape.
JJ: So when did the Queensland police force go wrong? Matt Condon believes the basis for the Lewis years was the decade when Frank Bischoff was Police Commissioner when Lewis became Bischof's bagman.
JJ: I'd recorded Matt Condon talking at Reading Brisbane's dark past at Brisbane Square Library in February 2014. At that reading, Condon spoke about Frank Bischof, Queensland police commissioner from 1959 to 1969, with abhorrence and disgust. He promised that in the opening 50 pages of his second book, Jacks and Jokers, there would be revelations about Bischof that would shock us all.
JJ: The shocking revelation turned out to be that Bischof was a paedophile. Considering Bischof established the Juvenile Aid Bureau and appointed his bagman Terry Lewis as its head, this disclosure seems to have contributed to the collapse in trust between Condon and Lewis.
JJ: After six years and three large volumes, Condon vows to continue his research. He does not believe he will ever learn the truth from Lewis from the man himself, but he believes the truth is out there. He anticipates the McCulkin murder trials for the light they might shed about the Whiskey fire-bombing and the Rat Pack's cover-up of that crime.
JJ: Despite the years spend interviewing Lewis and poring thru his archive, Condon's portrait of Lewis remains puzzlingly unfinished because an honest portrait was not what Terry Lewis wanted. Condon's sense of mission has changed. His desire now is to seek retribution for Commissioner Whitrod and the honest police crushed by Lewis through the Faustian bargain he made with Bjelke-Petersen in Cunnamulla forty years ago. It is, he believes, an important story for Queenslanders to know.

Interest Rates, not the Money Supply
Phillip Orphal, Florian Kern, Max Krahé
In this paper, we show that the case law on the legality of bond purchases by Eurosystem central banks is partly based on the economic theory of monetarism and, in particular, on a 1981 paper by Thomas Sargent and Neil Wallace ("Some Unpleasant Monetarist Arithmetic"). However, monetarism, already controversial in the 1970s and 1980s, is now recognised as false. The assumptions on which Sargent and Wallace based their argument were already partially inaccurate at the time; today, it is generally accepted that these assumptions do not hold in reality.[1] This intellectual progress should be taken into account in ongoing interpretation of the European treaties and the European legal framework.
Building on this observation, in this paper we develop an updated, "non-monetarist" interpretation of Article 123 TFEU. This interpretation deviates from the standards developed in previous case law in three ways:
First, the prohibition under which the European System of Central Banks may not purchase government bonds on the secondary markets under conditions which would, in practice, have an effect equivalent to that of a direct purchase of government bonds ("prohibition of transactions with equivalent effect") should be given up on.
Second, the restriction that secondary market purchases must not weaken incentives (judicially speaking, the "impetus") towards "sound fiscal policy" ("prohibition on circumvention") should be replaced. Instead of this restriction, the proper limiting principle is that secondary market purchases must pursue the objective of price stability and, if possible without compromising the first objective, support the general economic policies in the European Union. Within the purposes of Article 123 TFEU, sound public finances are only a means for achieving price stability. The focus of the interpretation should therefore be the pursuit of price stability. The general economic policy goal of sound public finances is the subject of other rules.
Third, and on a related point, the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany (BverfG) should no longer ground the protection of the Bundestag's budgetary right in Article 123 TFEU. The increasingly detailed measures and prohibitions built on an extensive reading of this article are detrimental to monetary policy and thus to price stability. This does not mean that the Federal Constitutional Court should give up on protecting the Bundestag's budgetary sovereignty. Instead, the protection of the Bundestag's budgetary right should be carried out under the legal benchmarks actually created for this purpose: Articles 121, 125 and 126 TFEU.

Neo-San Francisco, 2064 AD. Your life as a struggling journalist is interrupted by the world's first sapient machine, a ROM (Relationship and Organizational Manager) named Turing. Together, you and the quirky robot will encounter a colorful cast of locals and overcome challenges as you uncover the city's secrets behind the overlapping futures of technology and humanity. 2064: Read Only Memories is a new cyberpunk adventure that will take you on a journey of puzzle-solving and exploring as you investigate the mysterious world and characters of Neo-San Francisco. Inspired by classics like Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father and Snatcher, 2064: Read Only Memories is a retrofuturistic take on the point-and-click adventure genre that features a rich mature narrative and unique gameplay challenges hidden within the beautiful interactive pixel scenes. The deeper you delve into the life of your missing friend, the further you get entangled into this tale about the dark side of technology. Can you survive in Neo-SF? Or will the mystery go unsolved…?
2064 is a Point'n Click Adventure that contains so much text/conversation that it almost feels like Visual Novel. But if you remember the old adventure games and RPGs of the late 1980s and early 1990s, you don't necessarily know that much text... has to be bad if the story is told well. And she will in this cyberpunk game. Partly funny, partly challenging, because the game develops a complete environment for its history and that sometimes gets out quite a bit. The game clearly reminds me of Shadowrun and I really like that.

The average metro train doesn't go beyond a few stories underground. But sometimes the geology and the geography of the region, such as the presence of rivers and swamps, forces engineers to go deep underground. The Arsenalna, a station on Kiev Metro's Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line, is such an exception.
Arsenalna station is located 105.5 meters below the surface, making it the deepest metro station in the world. If you made a vertical shaft on earth as deep, you could drop the entire Statue of Liberty into it and still have more than twelve meters of headroom left to drop other stuff. To board a subway train at this station, commuters have to take two seemingly never-ending escalators to the bottom. The journey takes up to five minutes.
The mother of all escalators.
