Videos from "Show 'Em Whatcha Got" Mass. Memories Road Show available online now
Date Wednesday Jan 2, 2019
Posted by Kristine Malpica
The 42 videos collected at the "Show 'Em Whatcha Got" Mass. Memories Road Show: The Hip-Hop Edition are available online now.
Held at the Boston Public Library in May, the event was a collaboration between UMass Boston's Healey Library and the Boston Public Library. It was part of a larger project called "Local Rappers, DJs, B-Boys, and Graff: Documenting the Massachusetts Hip-Hop Community from the 1970s to the present" and was supported by a Common Heritage grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the Human Endeavor and the UMass President's Creative Economy Initiatives Fund. Learn more about this project here.
Contributors shared memories of their roots in the Boston hip-hop scene and launching a wide range of careers as visual artists, dancers, musicians, and producers. Many artists described their experiences creating original music and choreography, touring local, national and international stages, and producing events. Local success stories include major performing and record contracts which brought widespread recognition to Boston hip-hop and inspired up-and-coming artists.

The videos in the collection also testify to the significant contributions of Boston hip-hop artists in the development of innovative MCing, DJing, engineering and production techniques and technologies. This pioneering work led to cutting-edge recordings and the founding of independent Boston-based hip-hop record labels, which gained global audiences and recognition. Contributors described the importance of historic albums and recent discs to the hip-hop legacy.

Additionally, the video collection documents contributors' stories about launching a number of Boston-area radio programs such as Hip-Hope Nation and TV shows such as The Somerville Line, which shared local hip-hop music and culture with wider regional and national audiences.

A few of the videos in the collection further highlight contributors' experiences launching projects and founding organizations to use music as a vehicle for social change. For example, the Loop Lab engages Boston youth-at-risk in training programs that address the opportunity gap, by teaching audio and video production skills. Other contributors have started peace-building initiatives to end violence through hip-hop and produced hip-hop performances that explore social justice and other current political issues. All of these initiatives illustrate how members of Boston's hip-hop community have shaped a local music scene that communicates messages of hope for future generations.

This is fantastic!!! So interesting and moving. I enjoyed and watched every video. Thank you so much.
One thing you may not have realized and I'm not sure if this is intentional, when a video is finished, the next video that come up in that slot is not from the hip-hop road show (look like a different road show)…so in order to go back to the video from the hip hop road show you have to refresh your screen.
Nonetheless this was great.

San Francisco City Tour – The Palace
By user July 19, 2014 0
A favorite of San Francisco City Tours. . .
A San Francisco city tour would not be complete without visiting the Palace of Fine Arts. Of course, there's no royalty in residence. However, the architecture is fit for a monarchy, with a style that borrows freely from Bernini's (1598-1680) neoclassical Saint Peter's Square.
Sightseeing San Francisco Captures a Building's Spirit
The Palace is introduced with a lagoon, fountains, swans and a processional colonnade, in a generous welcome to visitors. The rotunda was inspired by a Piranesi engraving that featured a Roman ruin reflected in a pool. According to Bernard Maybeck, the architect who designed it in 1915, this ruin existed not for its own sake but to show "the mortality of grandeur and the vanity of human wishes."
This fascinating work of art, in its own right, was designed for an exhibit at thePanama Pacific Exposition,held in 1915, to celebrate the restoration of the city after the devastating 1906 earthquake and the opening of the Panama Canal.
A favorite San Francisco tourist spot, it has welcomed thousands of visitors to the city's Presidio Park to enjoy an array of events, exhibits and a parade of weddings. With an exposure to a grand bygone era of architecture, no effort was spared in its homage to beauty. Maybeck, true to his inspiration, left no surface untreated, gracing them with garlands, dentil moldings and double cornices in a rich blend of textures.
A Diagram Tells the Story
The original map of the Palace clearly shows its intention as an exhibition hall for the occasion. It continues to contain what is called an Exploratorium, a hands-on scientific exhibit for families and children to experience scientific displays.
Many couples choose the lagoon as a backdrop for their wedding.
Composed of less than durable materials, the Palace was originally meant to last for the short time the exhibit was scheduled. As it began to deteriorate, it took years before the city acted on the idea of restoring it as a permanent feature of the Park.
Restoration began in 1965, when the old Palace was razed, removed, and a new building erected. Today it stands as a tribute to Bernard Maybeck's imagination and skill. Continuing to offer exhibits, performances and idyllic wedding settings, it is cherished by the residents of San Francisco and visitors who are enjoying city sightseeing in San Francisco.
A purpose that Maybeck never envisioned
Pageants, concerts, children's musical theater, music festivals and national foundations all find their way to this 962-seat hall. Wide and shallow, it became an audio problem as time went by and audiences commented on the sub-standard sound. Curiously, the audience portion of the space is filled with sound-deadening materials, while the stage is quite ambient—just the opposite of most performance facilities. It took a series of engineers and sound techs to finally solve the problem. Robert Williams, Jr. , Head Sound Engineer at Lincoln Theatre, now pronounces it as "pristine and clear a rig as I've heard."
The exhibition hall is a grand space, with banks of skylights between steel girders. In contrast with the exterior design, the space is a masterful example of modern structural techniques. In the middle of the hall, an observation deck gives onto a view of the entire space—quite spectacular and a convenient orienting device for lost parents. The facility provides anywhere from a generous 200 square foot "small" space to a large space that may cover an entire end of the building.
San Francisco's Fine Arts
Although the buildings and grounds hold the fine art of a modern city, it's interesting to note that the Palace was meant to represent a decaying Roman ruin. In the words of Maybeck, his building gave a sense of "sadness modified by the feeling that beauty has a soothing influence." Perhaps so, but as a set piece, it is also a major contribution to visitors' having an enjoyable day, with A Taste of San Francisco and Beyond' San Francisco City Tour, as one of the city's most memorable landmarks.

The Festival de Lanaudière's Artistic Director Renaud Loranger has announced four new concerts in the artistic programming of the 42nd edition of the Festival de Lanaudière. They feature the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal (OSM), Orchestre Métropolitain (OM), Venice Baroque Orchestra, and violinist Christian Tetzlaff. The Festival runs from July 5 to August 4 this year.
The OSM has been invited to give the Festival's opening concert on Friday, July 5. Renowned French conductor Alain Altinoglu makes a return appearance at the helm of the OSM after his highly acclaimed performance with this orchestra last fall. Pianist Francesco Piemontesi, who began his career performing throughout Quebec and notably at Lanaudière, is the featured soloist. Some of the great literary classics have inspired the works on this program: Felix Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream and Piano Concerto No. 1, Richard Wagner's Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde, and Till Eulenspiegel by Richard Strauss.
On Saturday, July 6, the Amphithéâtre Fernand-Lindsay welcomes the OM and Yannick Nézet-Séguin, along with a great lady of French opera, mezzo-soprano Susan Graham. Audiences will be treated to nineteenth-century composer Louise Farrenc's Symphony No. 2, after which Susan Graham will join forces with the orchestra to transport us to the world of mythical and legendary characters, with a performance of La mort de Cléopâtre by Hector Berlioz. The concert will conclude with excerpts from Berlioz's Roméo et Juliette and will be the first event in the season to mark the 150th anniversary of Berlioz's death (#Berlioz150). An evening of pure Romanticism!
On Sunday, July 7, the exceptional Venice Baroque Orchestra makes a long-awaited return to Quebec, leading audiences on a journey from Naples to Venice at the time of Vivaldi. The ensemble will explore the flamboyant beauty of this composer's works, including the famous Four Seasons, as well as those of his contemporaries. Nothing less than explosive!
Finally, German violinist Christian Tetzlaff will perform at the Église de la Purification in Repentigny on Monday, July 29, in what will be his only summer season concert on Canadian soil. His programme features several essential works from the repertoire for unaccompanied violin: a Sonata for Solo Violin by Eugène Ysaÿe, Johann Sebastian Bach's Sonata for Solo Violin No. 3, several pieces by György Kurtág, as well as Béla Bartók's Sonata for Solo Violin.

I found out the usefulness of ACV online, and I decided to try it. I used about 2 tsp to a tall glass of water. I drank it once a week for 2 weeks. I did notice that I passed stool very easy, (I've suffered with acne since i was 11, I'm 28 now) then i noticed my face had a smoothness to it, that I experienced when I used Proactiv Solution, or when my hormones were in a good mood, I didnt think the ACV was the reason for my skin looking so good. A few folks even commented on my weight loss. I mean this thing has benefits that catches you unaware. Trust me, try it and you will see. Beware however of not brushing your teeth afterwards, I prefer brushing to rinsing.
Editor's Note: Your body must realy like the Apple Cider Vinegar to have the added benefit of weight loss - perhaps from the ACV helping with detox. So glad for you , I hope your skin gets better and better.

Hundreds Protest Turkey's Role in Kessab Attacks
LOS ANGELES—On Friday, March 28, hundreds of activists gathered in front of the Turkish Consulate in Los Angeles to protest Turkey's role in recent attacks against civilians in Kessab, Syria. The protest was organized by the Armenian Youth Federation and the Kessab Educational Association.
Civilians in Kessab were forced to flee their homes following attacks by al-Qaeda-linked groups on March 21.Turkey reportedly allowed hundreds of radical foreign fighters to cross its border and attack the civilian population, which includes over 2,000 Christian Armenians whose ancestors survived the Armenian Genocide. Armenian homes and churches were systematically desecrated and looted by the invaders. Some reports stated that injured extremists were returning to Turkey for medical treatment.
Protesters urged President Obama to condemn Turkey's actions and demand that Turkey stop aiding the invaders immediately. The protest was paired with a social media campaign to bring attention and awareness to the atrocities taking place in Kessab facilitated by the Turkish government.
Social media users addressed the Kessab crisis using the hashtag #SaveKessab. The campaign began at 12 p.m. on Friday and continued throughout the weekend. AYF regions across the world contributed via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
The social media campaign found success on Facebook, as the hashtag continues to trend today. On Twitter, there are nearly 100,000 tweets containing the hashtag, with an estimated reach of about 40 million people. Some high-profile tweets by Kim and Khloe Kardashians, The Game, Travis Barker, and Chris Martin also helped bring light to the campaign.

Councilmen Paul Krikorian (Los Angeles) and Jack Hadjinian (Montebello) addressed the crowd at the protest and called for Turkey to stop helping the al-Qaeda-linked forces. Garo Ghazourian, Alique Cherchian and Alik Ourfalian delivered the AYF's message.
Founded in 1933, the Armenian Youth Federation is the largest and most influential Armenian-American youth organization in the United States, working to advance the social, political, educational and cultural awareness of Armenian-American youth.

AYF Condemns Turkey's Role in Kessab Attacks
The Armenian Youth Federation stands in solidarity with all the victims in Kessab and their families around the world, who, day after day, struggle to survive as a result of a NATO ally's continual disregard for human rights.
We condemn Turkey's role in helping al-Qaeda-linked forces attack civilians, desecrate homes and religious institutions, and violently remove an entire ethnic population that has called Kessab home for over a thousand years. This is an imminent issue that must be addressed by the international community, as these savage attacks have continued since March 21.
The United States has a responsibility to demand that Turkey immediately halt all assistance to the radical groups occupying Kessab.
President Obama, we urge you to send a clear message to Turkey that our nation does not condone military strikes targeted against innocent men, women, and children.
Secretary of State John Kerry, it is your right and duty to denounce Turkey's acts as unacceptable under any circumstances and a clear violation of international law.
Joining us today will be activists from around the world, all walks of life, connected through one common cause: to bring awareness and justice; to save Kessab.
10th Annual Little Armenia Beautification Project a Success
On Saturday, March 8, the Armenian Youth Federation Hollywood "Musa Dagh" Chapter held the 10th Annual Little Armenia Beautification Project (LABP), in conjunction with the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) Hollywood Chapter. The event was sponsored by Congressman Adam Schiff (CA-D), the Office of California State Senator Kevin De León, Los Angeles City Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell, East Hollywood Neighborhood Council, Hollywood Beautification Team, the Rotary Club of Thai Town, and the Thai Community Development Center.
"The LABP is a wonderful way to mobilize the youth and unite them for a cause that is meant to give back to the community. This year, we had the pleasure of working with different organizations such as East Hollywood Neighborhood Council, the Rotary Club of Thai Town and the Thai Community Development Center. In addition, there was also representation from Beads for Battle and the Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry. We had hundreds of volunteers partake in beautifying the streets of Little Armenia, and it is comforting to know that the youth and other organizations teamed up to make the 10th annual cleanup a success." –Azniv Khararjian
Approximately 200 volunteers from various community organizations gathered in the courtyard of Rose and Alex Pilibos High School in the morning to hear opening remarks by various community leaders, including Congressman Adam Schiff, Los Angeles City Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell, and ANCA-WR Government Affairs Director Tereza Yerimyan. The volunteers then took to the streets with brooms and shovels in hand, excited to take ownership of Little Armenia by removing hundreds of pounds of trash and cleaning graffiti from the streets of Hollywood.
In addition to the cleanup, this year also featured a festival aimed at celebrating the volunteers' and community's work, where various local artists performed. Artists included Hoy Lari, Noushig Sarkissian, Shiraz Yeghiazarian, Haig Garabedian, Vartan Taymazian, Apo Mahserejian, and more. Additionally, a portion of the festival was dedicated to International Women's Day, which also falls on March 8th.
"The festival following the LABP was a great way to interact with the local community and learn about different organizations from cities all of Los Angeles. Beads for Battle was very happy to be part of the event and had the opportunity to raise awareness about cancer with the Armenian and Thai communities. We hope to collectively work with the LABP committee in the upcoming years" -Cynthia Keyllian of Beads For Battle
Since the official designation of "Little Armenia" in 2004, the AYF has been working with then Councilmember, now Mayor, Eric Garcetti to organize the neighborhood beautification project, which, according to the Los Angeles Sanitation Department, has resulted in the collection of over 40,000 pounds of trash.
Founded in 1933, the Armenian Youth Federation is the largest and most influential Armenian American youth organization in the United States, working to advance the social, political, educational and cultural awareness of Armenian-American youth.
AYF Crescenta Valley "Zartonk" Chapter Hosts Annual Open Mic Night
On March 2, the Armenian Youth Federation Crescenta Valley "Zartonk" Chapter hosted its annual Open Mic Night at the Crescenta Valley Armenian Center.
The much-anticipated event had over 90 people in attendance. It was free and open to the public free. There were more than 25 performances, including the UCLA ASA dance group, musician Raffi Semerjian, bands Ooshatsank and Green KARD, as well as a wide variety of poets, singers, actors and comedians.
"Zartonk" members sold homemade food and drinks to the attendees. Raffle tickets were also sold to benefit a fundraiser by the Crescenta Valley "Garegin Njteh" AYF Juniors, the proceeds of which will go toward Sose & Allen's Memorial Forest.
In addition to the live performances, a section of the center displayed a variety of artwork by young artist Ani Terzian. "I am very thankful the 'Zartonk' Chapter gave me the opportunity to showcase my artwork," she said. "The performances were great and I am very glad to share the title of an artist with them."
Christina Der Sarkissian, Crescenta Valley "Zartonk" member and Ooshatsank lead vocalist, said, "'Zartonk''s Open Mic Night is one of my favorite events hosted by our chapter. It provides a great platform for exposing artistic talent in our community and encourages us to use art as gateway for expressing feelings we could not share otherwise.
Attendees were also encouraged to use the hashtag #ZartonkOpenMic to post about the event.

If you find free USB Midi Keyboard app and my other music apps useful, please donate. The donated fund is used for development and hardware. For example, I am looking to buy a bluetooth midi keyboard and external bluetooth speaker. After development and testing, these 2 hardwares will be supported in the app.
If you make a donation, you may want to comment during PayPal checkout on what work you want to be work on.
Here is the home page for Celestial Piano App. The iOS app is created so that I can learn to play piano without spending years. All that I want is to play Mozart Turkish March, Symphony No 40 and Liszt Liebestraum No 3. It will take me about 5 years to learn to play Mozart Turkish March which is a Grade 5 piano exam piece. And about 8 years to learn Liebestraum which is a concert piano grade. Fortunately, I have got myself a Korg 61 Microkey.
Connect Celestial Piano to your USB keyboard. It gives me a chance to find the right keys to play. And allows unlimited download of midi files and sound font. Sound font is the instrument sound that you can download from the internet. It is totally free. I hope many people will get the joy and serenity out of playing the keyboard.
Please post your comment and suggestion in the forum. Choose forum tab at the top.
1. https://learn.adafruit.com/trinket-audio-player/overview for her library. I am not using Adafruit trinket player .ino code but rather a basic code developed from below link. Adafruit also use an older version of Winbond memory Winbond 25Q80BV.
I am going into external Flash memory because using EEPROM is limited in size. 512KB is about the max in 2017 and it is way more expensive. My earlier post on SD player is big in term of physical size. I would want something similar to Attiny85 dip size.
3. Winbond W25Q64FV. It has 8 MB of memory which is enough for my 20 seconds music. A music that I intend to use on her Barney stuffed toy. If you consider 8000 bytes a second, you can play about 15 min of music on W25Q64FV.
4. A led for testing and status. There is not enough pins on Attiny85 for a led with 2 SPI device (W25Q64FV and microSD).
5. A speaker 2 pin. I made one myself from old toy. You can made one from any toy that produce sound.
6. 2 x 1.5 AA batteries. Heavy duty.
1. A transistor N2222 and 100 Ohm resister to amplify the sound.
This is the minimum components. I have added a led connected to Attiny85 PB0 (DI) pin and to the ground. It is useful to have only 1 led to see the status of the operation or testing. PB0 is also used for the SPI operation. But you can switch it to output for the Led when you need it and turn it back to SPI function. See attached source code below.
The circuit consists of 2 main function. 1) To read music data from microSD card in the SD card adapter and write to the W25Q64FV external Flash memory. 2) To read music data from W25Q64FV and play the speaker.
The red mini breadboard has the external flash memory W25Q64FV and Attiny85.
The mini white breadboard has the SD adapter and speaker with transistor.
3 is for SD card while 4 is for Flash during the write.
b) I disconnect the cs line for SD card at PB3. Move the cs line for Flash from PB4 to PB3.
I find EEPROM easier to program than external Flash memory. Flash needs to be erase before you can write on it. EEPROM does not have this requirement. EEPROM has i2C which is only 2 wire wire Flash and SD need 4 wires SPI. Only thing is that EEPROM has very limited memory size at about 125k byte at about $5. Flash has about 8M byte at $1.50. And SD has 8G byte at $7.50. For my purpose on a small toy, I would go for Flash at the time being.
Next I will be making 1 wire LCD. It has been make but I would like to study the 595 ic used in it and the these future projects in my spare time.
3. Play midi song in Korg TinyPiano and MicroPiano using Attiny85 and W25Q64FV.
After doing a SD player, I continue to do a EEPROM player. First, I use what I learn in my earlier post to build a SD to EEPROM WRITER using an Attiny85. Then, I turn on PWM to play the music from the EEPROM. So it is possible to use I2C and SPI together in Attiny85. I2C is used to talk to the external microchip memory 24LC256 DIP while SPI is used to talk to the SD card. The trick is to use beginTiny before each write (see source code below). The work is motivated by my 3 years old daughter who want a good Barney song in her Barney stuff toy. Next I will move to Winbond Flash with Attiny85 which I could hold the whole song.
1. http://www.jechavarria.com/2013/06/28/components-i-usually-use-ii-24lc256-i2c-eeprom-memory/ that i learn there need a delay of 5ms for each write. Once i got it, the rest is easy.
I am using 2 x 1k ohm resistor to pull up insteads of the 4.7k ohm resister as recommended in the link above.
I am using TinyWireM.h and make the following changes. As I am writing and reading 64 bytes at one time, I change the buffer to 67 in USI_TWI_Master.h below. And I find I do not need to change the clock speed from 1000.0 kHz to 8Mhz which my Attiny85 is running. It still runs!
Chan 2009 player has C and assembly code. I try to redo so that only I need only the Arduino IDE and Attiny85 with arduino or a USB tiny programmer. You need only to upload an .ino file to Attiny85 for it to play music from a SD card.
1. https://harizanov.com/2012/05/toying-with-attiny84-and-sd-card-in-arduino-ide/ for a link to the wrapper.
The above components are optional. You can leave them out in the circuit diagram below. It will still work.
1. There is no sound. I was struck at this problem for a day. And I found it is because of a short circuit in DI and CS port of the SD adapter. I remove the bad solder and there is sound.
2. Wrong connection from SD to Attiny85. SD DO pin (second pin from the left) should go to Attiny DI pin (PB0). SD DI pin (third pin from the right) should go to Attiny DO pin (PB1).
Here is the software .ino Please note the wav file is name love.wav in the source. Please get your own wav file by using iTune etc to produce a 8 bit 8000 hz wave file.
My first music electronic player that can play 4 voices.
- I will be doing a SD player all in Arduino IDE.
- An app to convert midi file to hex for play in the source code.
Turn your acoustic instrument into MIDI controller.
As you play on your guitar, piano or violin, MIDI Enabled converts your playing into MIDI notes instantly and feed them to your DAW or synth apps.
- Use MIDI Enabled with DAW app (Garageband, Logic, Ableton etc).
- Use MIDI Enabled with synth app (bs-16, iProphet, Sunrizer etc).
- Use MIDI Enabled with music learning app (Synthesia etc).
1. For DAW recording and music learning, no extra hardware is required. MIDI Enabled uses your iPhone microphone to listen to your playing. You can see MIDI notes on your DAW.
2. For synth purpose, connect a headset or ear piece to your iPhone. MIDI Enabled uses your iPhone microphone to listen to your playing and send notes to your synth app. You can hear the synth sound in your headset.
MIDI Enabled works with all musical instruments such as Grand piano, guitar, flute, violin etc. Have fun!
It works and it is free!


On the contrary...The truth is well know.
There is a diferance between uncovered and covered up.
And which came first, the chicken or the egg.
They uncover something, say in the way of a crashed saucer, then cover it up. Or, they release just enough information via uncovering, such as we've seen with Britain's UFO files, or the Vatican announcement, and only cover up the rest.
Or uncover enough just to make us dangerous, but not informed enough to state the absolute truth of what has been covered up, even if its uncovered.
And even if it is uncovered, it is still covered up to such an extent to make those that know, keep the rest of us in the dark, because they decide what, if anything, they will release, truth or disinformation, at will.
Covered up or uncovered, or bits and pieces of each, we still don't have the answers.
So a secret is only a secret until someone comes along who really really digs deep enough and can put all the pieces of the puzzle together. Most government agencies I have known seem to all know a little bit of a puzzle. All you need to do is find out that little bit, that one weak link in the chain and add it all together... and hey presto.... no more secret.
So why do we bother with a secret? Every government agency world wide has some type of secret. They all want to hide their secret but know other people's secret. Then when the secret is leaked out into general society.... instead of just saying the truth... they crap on about lies to cover up a stupid secret. That had they not kept as a secret in the beginning..... what's that saying I read lately... mirrors and smoke????? For what?
I'm sick and tired of stupid secrets. Who are these agencies that are in power anyway???? What gives them the right to tell us humans what we need to know. Who gives them this right???? Us or them?
We give them the right to cover up whatever they like simply through apathy.
We are a lot who complains a great deal, yet we live very good lives, and most of us don't get arrested for complaining about whatever we want to.
As far as Roswell goes, in a historical sense, the time and world events occuring when the saucers first crashed, left few options, except a coverup. I won't go into the history, but there are very good books on Roswell that give a good idea of what was done, and why, and it makes sense.
I think personally that there is enough history, and historical evidence, backed up by credible researchers in dozens of recorded sources with references up the yinyang, to put the question of whether it happened or not, to rest. It did happen. We know enough to know that it isn't hidden anymore. We know the truth about Roswell.
The only question remaining is why Governments do not authenticate what we now know, is the truth. That side of the coin may never happen because to do that, would be to admit to a lie that has lasted decades, and why would they do that.
Would our lives be any different? Would we then believe what is already known, more? Would we be any further ahead with an official stamp?
I am more worried about the fact that governments have no more control now, than they did in 1947, and we are at the mercy of ET and whatever they choose to do with our population. At the moment their needs are being met by relative obscurity.
They have no need to upset the apple cart too much, and they don't answer to anybody.
What happens when that changes. When the truth becomes real, and they are forthcoming with their intent and purpose.
I still believe that if our governments think they need to, they will devise a scheme to make the citizens of Earth think we have to fight a war with Aliens, just to make us believe the governments have some control over what comes in from Space. A Japanese Reseacher, Norio Hayakawa, claimed nearly 20 years ago that he had uncovered a plot between the U.S. and Japan to implement just such a ruse... and he has been endeavoring to find hard evidence and get the truth out about this ever since he stumbled across the plot in his home Japan, many years ago.
Government will never easily give up information that puts their capabilities to defend their citizens in a "bad light." This might be to enforce the Law on the U.S. books that already states, "It is illegal for an American Citizen to have covert relationships with any non-Earth entity." I forget, now, what this phrase is written in, but I have seen it quoted several times, over the past 15 years, by various researchers who were trying hard to make their points--that our governments are very much aware that we're being visited by being from other places which are not Earth Origin.
I think that if push came to shove, regardless of who has treaties with which races, I highly doubt that any earth effort can stop an alien invasion.
They have all the cards. We only keep the secrets.
No, I don't think we could stop a real invasion, either. But if the government wanted to use a "fake" invasion to instill fear into the entire population, they could easily simulate a "threat" which would cause democratic nations, the world over, to allow a disolution of what few personal freedoms we have left in the U.S. and in other countries. THIS tactic is what a lot of us fear the most. A world wide Patriot Act which essentially would put free nations under marshal law and strip us of our rights to travel, to question policies, etc. FREE-THINKERS would become even more of a threat to governmental total control.
At this moment in time I am fearful that we are in such deep poop we can't see the forest for the trees. And I do not say that lightly or with any sense of wanting it to be so. Far from it, I just wish things could be different than they really are.
I hope for the best, but I'm not holding my breath.
I'm not holding mine, either, David. Let's just hope that President Obama staves off what some of us are beginning to feel is inevitable... Maybe he can stall some of the really ugly possibilities, for the next 4 years. If he performs well enough to please a great deal of the American people, we might get to keep him around for another 4 years after that. But even Moses, according to the Old Testament, couldn't hold back the sea forever.
I have been hearing reports that there is a court action in the works in regard to Obama's birth certificate, as there is some question as to his citizenship.
Evidently a president can only be a president if he is a native born American.
Obama has refused to address this issue and put it to rest, which is causing some people to wonder why if everything is on the up and up.
I hope this is not true, because the implications are horrific.
But why the hell will he not just show this document and shut these people up?
It is going to court and the judge has allowed it to move forward, in California no less, so why is he being so stubborn because it is just adding fuel to the fire?

Laurent Didier Alex Terzieff (Toulouse, 27 juni 1935 – Parijs, 2 juli 2010) was een Frans acteur.

Leven en werk
Terzieff was de zoon van een ceramiste uit Toulouse en een Russische beeldhouwer. Zijn werkelijke naam was Laurent Tchemerzine.

Hij debuteerde in 1953 als acteur in het Théâtre de Babylone van Jean-Marie Serreau in Tous contre tous van Arthur Adamov. Marcel Carné bood hem een rol aan in zijn zedenkomedie Les Tricheurs (1958), een verhaal over de Parijse existentialistische jeugd van de jaren vijftig. Terzieff was daarna te zien in diverse belangwekkende films, waaronder het drama La notte brava (Mauro Bolognini, 1959, gebaseerd op het boek Ragazzi di vita van Pier Paolo Pasolini), het concentratiekampoorlogsdrama Kapò (Gillo Pontecorvo, 1960), het historisch drama Vanina Vanini (Roberto Rossellini, 1960) en het oorlogsdrama Tu ne tueras point (Claude Autant-Lara, 1961).

Terzieff bleef in de jaren zestig dramatische rollen vertolken. Zo speelde hij rollen in het drama À cœur joie (Serge Bourguignon, 1967) waarin hij de affiche deelde met Brigitte Bardot, in La Prisonnière (1968), een drama van Henri-Georges Clouzot, in de tragedie Medea (Pasolini's interpretatie van het werk van Euripides) en in de groteske komedie La Voie lactée ('De Melkweg', 1969) van Luis Buñuel.

In de jaren zeventig verscheen hij minder dikwijls op het witte doek. Hij leverde in die jaren vermeldenswaardige vertolkingen af in Il pleut sur Santiago (Helvio Soto, 1975), een thriller die zich afspeelde tegen de achtergrond van de Staatsgreep in Chili (1973) en in het bevreemdende oorlogsdrama Il deserto dei Tartari (Valerio Zurlini, 1976),

In de jaren 1980 was hij vooral actief in het theater. Hij bleef echter ook in films spelen, zoals in de tragikomedie Rouge Baiser (Véra Belmont, 1985), in Hiver 54, l'abbé Pierre (Denis Amar, 1989), een biopic over l'Abbé Pierre, in het mijnwerkersdrama Germinal (Claude Berri, 1993) en in het historisch drama Le radeau de la Méduse (Iradj Azimi, 1998).

Terzieff overleed in 2010 op 75-jarige leeftijd in Parijs aan de gevolgen van longcomplicaties.

Highbury man jailed for smuggling weed in grand piano
Islingtongazette News
Published: 12:43 PM May 10, 2012 Updated: 7:55 PM October 15, 2020
A drug smuggler who stashed more than �400,000-worth of cannabis in a grand piano has been jailed for six years.
Evan Masson, 34, of Drayton Park, Highbury, arranged for the consignment to be shipped from his native South Africa to a disused warehouse.
The former sound engineer enlisted construction boss and fellow South African Brian Beangstrom, 60, of Wightman Road, Harringay, to help him transport the load.
But the pair were caught red-handed by customs officers as they prised open the piano crate at the warehouse in Hornsey last October.
The shipment – containing 143.9 kgs of the class B drug – had been under surveillance for a week after it was intercepted by UK Border Agency officials when it entered the UK through Felixstowe.
Defending Masson, Minka Braun said he lost his job at the London Music Studios in the recession, and was reduced to sleeping on his elder sister's sofa when freelance work dried up. She said: "He accepts that his dire financial situation was the catalyst for finding himself involved in offending of this sort." He planned to use some of the cash to travel to Australia to fight for custody of a son he had never met, she added.
Defending Beangstrom, Scott Ivill said his client believed until a late stage they were collecting a family heirloom, and was offered just �300 to help.
Beangstrom was sentenced alongside Masson at the Old Bailey on last Thursday to 18 months in prison, but will walk free in less than two months having already spent 210 days on remand.
Judge Timothy Pontius told them: "The conspiracy in which, on your own admission, you were both involved, was a large-scale enterprise."
Masson took a leading role in organising the drug shipment and stood to make a "significant financial reward", he added.
The judge told Beangstrom: "It is a tragedy that someone of mature years with a commendable employment background and your lack of significant previous offences should be tempted into crime of this scale for only paltry reward."

#YouLookDisgusting Blogger Em Ford Responds To Internet Haters: 'Perfection Isn't Real'
ByDana Oliver
"You look disgusting."
"I can't even look at her."
"Her face is so ugly."
"Eww. Horrible. Gross."
The Internet can be a very cruel place, especially when you're revealing a side that's rarely seen. Beauty blogger Em Ford experienced this first-hand after posting photos of herself without makeup on Instagram. The harsh reactions to Ford's bare face inspired her to produce a video that highlights the online abuse and harassment women are subjected to for not looking "flawless."
Ford's inspirational video has gained over 9 million views so far in less than one week. It has also encouraged individuals who struggle with acne and cyberbullying to share their experiences with the hashtag #YouLookDisgusting.
"I wanted to say, 'You know what? Perfection isn't real, and I'm just gonna show you what I look like in the morning and what I look like when I leave my house to go to work,'" Ford told BBC Trending about the message behind the video.
While the 20-something Londoner has perfected the art of her covering up her severe acne, she admits that the skin condition has taken over her entire life. "It's made me want to cancel plans with friends. It's made me not want to blog," she said.
This crippling anxiety is something we've heard from other YouTubers, including Cassandra Bankson and Kalel Kitten. Hopefully, their honest and raw accounts will teach Internet haters a lesson or two and change society's perception of what it means to be beautiful.

Corban student gives her thoughts on LGBTQ+ silent protest
April 23, 2019 By Hannah Brumage
No one wakes up wanting to be considered a "freak" by people who used to love them. No one wakes up wanting people to use slurs or dirty words against them.
So why stand up? Why put yourself out there? Why make known that on a small, conservative, Christian university campus there are members of the LGBTQ+ community? Why step out into danger?
My favorite reaction to the silent protest that happened the Wednesday before Good Friday was one that I had to shoot down. One of my friends brought up this point: every student signed the student handbook. If we disagree, why are we at Corban?
But it made me think. Why, since I fully agree with the silent protest and took a minor part in it, am I here even after signing the handbook? Simple. I am a Christian. I love Jesus, and I want to get my education in a place that will feed me spiritually as well as academically. I signed the handbook because I promise to behave as God would want me to, at which point I turn away from Leviticus and to Matthew where it says not to judge, but to love. That is why I come to Corban despite disagreeing with one small part of the handbook.
SGA Vice President Aric Wood, who tends to lean conservative, also attended the protest.
"It's the action of gay sex that is the sin," Wood said. "There is no judgement besides that. The Bible doesn't talk about it beyond that."
Wood spoke about his friend he met in high school who was gay and explained that while he never went back on his beliefs about sin, he also began to accept people who were different than he is.
When I returned from class at 1:00 that day, none other than President Sheldon Nord himself was sitting among the protestors. I got a picture that lives up to the phrase "a picture worth a thousand words." Nord was looking at Trevor Bond, one of the organizers, with a smile, as Bond spoke about why he was sitting there. I haven't been to many other universities, but I can't imagine there's another where the president would sit with students holding signs, look them in the eye, and have a conversation about how he can make the school a place where everyone feels safe.
This silent protest was more than sitting on the library steps hoping people would notice. It was more than holding signs in rainbow colors to catch people's attention.
When someone says they struggle with porn addiction, people respond by helping them, telling them they can defeat it and suggesting counseling. When they slip up or relapse, they get grace. When people are honest about sins, sexual or otherwise, people usually try to help them and still love them no matter what.
However, the second a Christian or anyone else comes out as gay – even if they, like most students here at Corban battling this attraction, aren't living the lifestyle – chances are good that the Church will turn their back on them. But if you're addicted to porn, even once you're in a relationship, that's normal and no one stops loving you. If you have one-night stands, as long as they're the opposite gender, you can be forgiven. If you're addicted to masturbation, no one wants to talk about it, but, if you do talk, they don't turn you away. But, heaven forbid you should be gay! That's unacceptable, and you are going directly to hell. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
That is why we stepped out into danger. That is why the sign said "Love," not "Love the sinner, hate the sin." God IS love. Everyone is made in the image of God and no matter who they are, gay, straight, Muslim, Hindu, Christian they are worthy of love.
Is the Christian called to condone sin and religions other than Christianity? Of course not. I don't claim that. I claim that we are called to love out neighbor as ourselves, for this is the first and greatest commandment.
From here, after the silent protest, organizer Elyssa Fahndrich said the next steps are to reconvene and discuss.
"I don't know what the next few days will look like," Fahndrich said. "I'm glad we started the conversation out in the open and I hope it gets momentum."
Nord; Brenda Roth, the Vice President for Student Life; Nathan Geer, the Dean of Students; and other Corban administrators left the protest when it was over, open and willing to continue the conversation, and even reword the student handbook. The future looks like it might change for the better for Corban students who are members of and are allies with the LGBTQ+ community. Our conservative school will remain conservative, but that doesn't mean it will be void of respect and love for everyone who needs it.
In a group of fellow Corbanites, if I had asked the question, "How many here were raised to think being gay is a sin?" many hands would go up. After this silent protest, I hope that if I asked, "How many here now understand that members of the LGBTQ+ community are not committing sin just by existing?" the number of hands would be just as high.
President Sheldon Nord joins in dialogue with silent protesters.

Mady says
As Christians we are here to love no matter what. The problem here is that it is mentioned in the article that when people struggle with pornography, masterbation, etc then people are willing to help them, but aren't willing to help those with same sex attraction. Same sex atttraction is a sin and most who struggle with it aren't willing to get help because they believe it's who they are and they are trying to create a lifestyle with it. That's where the issue is. Most people who struggle with other sins don't identify with that as "who they are". And that's why they are more accessible to recieving help because they want it. People in the LGBT community don't believe what they are doing is wrong and they want people to accept that. They don't want help with the struggle of same sex attraction. I would never judge anyone who either struggles with this or has identified their lifestyle with it. Just as Christians should, we should love no matter what, but there is a difference between struggling with the sin and wanting to receive help, and wanting to live in that sin and the lifestyle thinking it's not wrong.
This is so incredible to see happening at Corban. I wish that this mindset would have existed when I attended the school '04-'08. I'm very proud of the students for being brave and proud of the administration being willing to listen and sit along side them!
Shawn says
Thanks Hannah for writing this article. Change is slow but shedding some light here is very important. I graduated from Corban. Decades later I have come out as gay. It's not an easy journey and have been rejected by two mainstream Salem churches since I am no longer accepted as part of the body of Christ. Thanks for your efforts. Shawn.

All religions were created to bring light to the mystery of existence, but is there one that rises above the rest as being completely true? Home Church Leader Neil Brooks explains how Christianity, a relationship instead of a religion, is true and infallible. There is an abundance of evidence that testifies to the existence of the loving God of the Bible.


The August Doorbell Cam Pro is a sturdy smart doorbell that makes it easy to save and capture video footage. It's a great companion to the August Smart Lock Pro; is compatible with Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home; and has a cool feature called HindSight, which retroactively records motion detection events.
But its bulky design and potentially involved installation keep us from recommending the August above contenders like the Nest Hello and Ring 2.
Dimensions: 2.9 x 2.9 x 0.8 in.
>>Convinced already? Get the doorbell camera now.
The August video doorbell doesn't have as many bells and whistles—like facial recognition or a battery-powered option—as some other video doorbells. But it covers the basics with 980p HD video quality, a 160-degree field of view, clear two-way audio, and on-demand live video. It also has some standout features we like.
HindSight is an innovative technology that constantly monitors your doorway. With this feature, the August Doorbell Pro records video a few seconds before a person approaches the door, capturing about 10 seconds of activity before motion is detected.
It's a thoughtful way to keep track of who's coming and going in front of your house, whether it's a delivery person, a dog walker, or a potential intruder.
HindSight is a thoughtful way to keep track of who's coming and going.
In practice, though, HindSight is a bit glitchy. Some August Doorbell users say the HindSight feature is often delayed or doesn't work at all. Others complain that the doorbell's motion sensor sometimes recognizes objects and people only from far away.
The August Doorbell Pro's built-in floodlight gives you full-color HD playback, even at night. The light itself isn't overly bright, but it's bright enough that you can see who's at your door in the evening. On top of that, you can adjust the brightness of the light.
If you already have the August Smart Lock, pairing the August Doorbell Cam is a sensible choice. You can sync the doorbell to the smart lock, so when you see a guest you know on your doorstep, you can unlock the door from your smartphone.
Installing the August Doorbell Pro requires some basic wiring and drilling, but it's a straightforward process, making it a great pick for handy DIYers who are comfortable wielding a drill and doing some light electrical work.
We also like that the August Pro comes with a USB dock that lets you charge the doorbell's internal battery and test its compatibility with your Wi-Fi network before you install it. That's not something you'll see with many other smart doorbells.
When it comes to the actual installation process, you can use the same wiring your existing system uses. But just make sure it's not a digital doorbell—the Pro Cam requires a mechanical chime inside the house. Otherwise, it won't sound when someone comes ringing—you'll just get a notification through the August app.
Before you buy, make sure your existing system is compatible. You'll need a 12- to 24-volt wired doorbell system.
The August Doorbell Pro retails at $199, the same price as both the Ring Video Doorbell 2 and the SkyBell. But the Ring and SkyBell have a couple more features than August, including a higher video quality.
When it comes to keeping track of your footage, August offers a couple options.
The Basic Video Recording cloud subscription lets you access and replay your videos from the last 24 hours for free. It also lets you download and share saved videos, and it applies to all users of the Doorbell Cam—which means you, your partner, and your tech-savvy kids can all access those recordings.
Premium Video Recording plan – $4.99/mo.
With a Premium Video Recording subscription—priced at $4.99 a month or $49.99 annually—you'll get access to 30 days of saved video history. If you're out of town a lot, or if you want to hold onto clips for longer than a day, it's a good get.
The August Doorbell Cam is our favorite doorbell for video capture. Its innovative HindSight feature makes it stand out from the competition, the camera is easy to install, and we love the HD color night vision. Plus, if you already own or plan to own the August Smart Lock Pro, the doorbell would make a great addition to your setup.
But if saving video footage isn't your top priority, or if you'd rather have a camera with security integration or smart features like facial recognition, we recommend another option from our picks for best doorbell cameras.
If you want the latest technology, the Nest Hello is a great pick that offers cool features like face recognition. SkyBell offers a lot of the same great specs as August, but it also integrates with a lot of security systems, which August doesn't.
>>Keep a constant eye on your doorstep. Buy the August Doorbell Cam Pro here, take a look at our Ring review, or check out our full list of picks for smart doorbells.

Covid Overreaction

FreeX™
The COVID overreaction should be our collective kick in the pants to understand and secure free expression.
Mark Changizi
We're starting something new here at FreeX, and we're doing it on the first anniversary of what one might call, "The Great Mass Delusion of 2020." Over the next several communications we'll explain what we're up to, but in this first one, let me give you some sense of the acute origins of the need for such an institute.
The beginnings of this Mass Delusion event began in February and March of last year, and in early March I made what I thought was an obvious observation: that some sort of strange hysteria had set in. For example, already at that point it had become "required" that each reference to the virus had to be prefaced by "dangerous" -- and if you pushed back on that you were simply irresponsible.
My first tweets on the topic were on March 10, trying to calm things down by pointing out some of the facts that were being miscommunicated by the media (e.g., conflating case fatality rate and infection fatality rate). On March 17 I noted the following, which has been pinned to the top of my Twitter account for nearly a year...
"The moral of coronavirus19 will be that social contagion via social networks is more dangerous than biological contagion."
That is to say, the emergent crowd effects emanating from a tightly connected world-sized network of people is itself one of the most dangerous threats -- no, the most dangerous threat -- to all of us, far beyond biological threats like that of a pandemic.
The hysteria had at that point only just gotten rolling. By July, polls indicated that people believed that nearly 10% of the population had already died of the virus, orders of magnitude off.
How did such misperceptions occur? Is it because the initial data pointed to that? Not at all. Even in early March, many medical experts -- e.g., Oxford's Center for Evidence Based Medicine -- had calm, reasoned estimates of the likely nature of the disease, which were orders of magnitude lower than what was being bandied about within social media and the news. Whereas the average bloke and journalist thought he had a 3 to 10% chance of dying if infected, the actual estimates from the experts were nearer to 0.2%, and for healthy people a couple orders of magnitude lower still. The average person had no idea of the numbers of seasonal cold and flu deaths each year (which, by the way, is far higher than the number of recorded such deaths), and so numbers of corona deaths were heard without context, without proportion.
By early March a "mass decision" had already been made that Covid-19 was super-obviously super-dangerous and unlike anything we've seen before. And that wreaked havoc on the ability for anyone within the mass delusion to move forward rationally. Common sense was gone. It shifted the burden of evidence such that (i) every normal baseline expected thing about a cold virus now had to be proved to an unreasonably high standard, and (ii) every hypothesis about Covid being especially bad in some respect required no support. For example, the following claims were deemed almost unquestionable:
its infection fatality rate (IFR) is super high
there are few asymptomatics (and so IFR will be roughly the very high early CFR values)
transmission is unprecedentedly high
asymptomatics often spread it
it's disproportionately risky for the young, or at least equal opportunity for them
no one is safe, comorbidities or no
it will hit the entire population (and so let's multiply CFR by total population and see the total expected deaths)
immunity doesn't apply
herd immunity can't happen
it leaves you with chronic health issues
seasonality does not apply (i.e., the epidemic doesn't have a tendency to come, and go, at a typical time of year, like almost all other viruses do)
it goes away only via intervention policies (lockdowns, masks, etc.)
all variation in epidemic severity is due to intervention policy
By virtue of this, the utility calculus was all Covid. No economy included. No quality of life either. No other deaths even mattered, so the rest of health care was practically put on pause.
By mid-March not only was everyone's beliefs all wrong, but there was righteous indignation to anyone showing skepticism about any of it, and severe contempt for anyone violating the rules. For example, a group of friends and I were working out in mid-March, and a lady pulled over and accosted us. And we were outdoors, and distanced from one another! But we were nevertheless putting her and everyone at risk.
When folks are this confident, and this afraid, they're willing to entertain solutions that, under normal conditions, only totalitarian regimes like China might do. Like house arrest for everyone, putting tens of millions (hundreds of millions worldwide) out of work, crashing economies, and putting billions at risk (especially in the developing world). Civil rights -- which normally they'd say they care about -- are not even a twinkle in their eye. And, making this all the more creepy, they do it with a strong sense of moral outrage. Those who speak out are evil, selfish, trying to get them killed, etc.
Soon, not only were regular folk enforcing the cult upon everyone at a grassroots level, but Big Tech began censoring viewpoints at odds with the extreme narrative that had gotten "fixed" into "the truth." YouTube, Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc. all went out of their way to censor skeptical voices. For your safety, of course. The truth was to be given to us from on high by their fact checkers.
When our freedoms were under the greatest threat -- freedom of movement, freedom of dress, freedom to keep our businesses and livelihoods, etc. -- our ability to even speak against the threat was cut from beneath us. Righteous cancellation from our peers loomed at every turn, as did suspension from our social media accounts. When what was needed most of all was a healthy raucous conversation about the truth about the virus and the interventions, that conversation was severely shunted, accelerating our spiral into authoritarianism that we're still in today, a year later.
That provides just a small hint of the sickness that has afflicted us over the last year. It's something that has afflicted societies for millenia; it's exactly these sorts of mass delusions that are behind our worst chapters of human history. But this time it was everywhere by virtue of the nature of a connected world. There was almost nowhere to run.
At FreeX our goal is to research the mechanisms that lead to "social sicknesses" of this kind. In this case, free expression took a wrong turn in March, leading to a mass delusion. What exactly went wrong? Can we do anything to minimize the chance of mass delusions in the future? Are there any effective ways to coax a society out of a mass delusion?
But, FreeX is more broadly aimed at understanding how free expression actually works as a mechanism for aiding societies move in a decentralized manner toward the truth, and away from authoritarianism.
There is, however, a lot more to free speech than most of us realize. Our three pillars at the Free Expression Group are (1) free, (2) expression, and (3) group.
Free: Freedom goes far beyond government restrictions. How can we move toward a society that encourages free speech?
Expression: Key to freedom of speech is emotional expression, not speech per se. How can we augment free speech in this light?
Group: Free expression is the workhorse for freedom more generally by virtue of how it acts within our social groups.
We'll get to these and many more facets of free expression as we move forward.

Shooting outside of White House caused President Trump to be removed from news conference

President Donald Trump was removed from his evening coronavirus news conference on Monday after a shooting took place outside of the White House complex, Trump confirmed to reporters.
Minutes into his briefing, Trump was told to leave his briefing by a Secret Service agent. Trump said he was not taken to the bunker, and just stepped outside of the briefing room.
Trump said that a suspect was shot by law enforcement outside of the White House. Trump complimented authorities for handling the incident.
The Secret Service confirmed an officer-involved shooting at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington. The intersection is roughly one block from the White House, and not far from the West Wing section of the White House, where the White House briefing room is located.
The Secret Service said that a male subject and a Secret Service officer were both transported to a local hospital.
"At no time during this incident was the White House complex breached or were any protectees in danger," the Secret Service said.
The Secret Service issued a statement late Monday indicating that a 51-year-old man told Secret Service officers he had a weapon.

Trump was in the midst of a briefing on the government's response to the coronavirus when he was removed from the briefing. He returned moments after being removed.

twitter:card - The type of card to be created: summary, photo, or video.
twitter:url - The URL that should be used for the card. This will likely be the same URL as the page's canonical link.
twitter:title - The title as it should display in the Twitter Card.
twitter:description - A 200 character summary of the content at the given URL.
twitter:image - A representative image URL for the content. In many cases, simply providing your logo's URL will be just fine.
