Bob Hope: Thanks For the Memories Collection (Universal)
Bob Hope was the snappy urban wiseguy with an easy line of smart remarks and a comic cowardice behind the confident front, a one-liner comic whose timing, self-effacing demeanor and audience rapport took him from stage to radio to screen. This collection mostly revisits the younger Hope, before he hit the road with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour and slid into a more cynical byplay. Hope is funny in those films, but he’s much more likable in the four earlier films of the set, three of them making their respective DVD debuts. Thanks for the Memory (1938), named after the Hope signature song (which he sings with co-star Shirley Ross), is a slim little comedy of the idle class in depression-era New York notable largely for Hope’s easy banter and the cast of moochers who keep landing in his apartment.
The heart of the set, however, belongs to his three pairing with Paulette Goddard, beginning with the oft-filmed haunted house chestnut The Cat and the Canary (1939). You know the story even if you’ve never seen the play: the family of the deceased gather in a spooky old mansion of an eccentric millionaire for the reading of the will and must spend the night in the place (which is located in the middle of a bayou swamp). Goddard is the bubbly heroine who is named sole beneficiary, a spooky servant goes around predicting things like “One will die tonight” and there’s an escaped patient from the nearby asylum (in the middle of this swamp?) running around. “Don’t big old empty houses scare you?” asks one relative (Nydia Westman doing a Zasu Pitts kind of goofy comic relief). “Not me,” quips Hope, here playing a semi-famous actor meeting what’s left of his family tree. “I’ve played vaudeville.” It’s hokey stuff with hidden doors and secret passages and a hidden treasure, which director Elliot Nugent stages with all the style and tension of a sitcom. But Hope and Goddard have marvelous chemistry and Hope is completely amiable, using wisecracks to cover up his discomfort and fear. “I always joke when I’m scared,” he confesses to heroine Goddard. “I kind of kid myself into being brave.” Hope’s delivery makes this less a laugh line than a confession and a promise; he’s got integrity and the courage to both reveal his vulnerabilities and overcome them. Goddard, meanwhile, is a spunky beauty with crack timing, a born comedienne too often called upon to play the straight man and provide the sex appeal. She does both admirably in Cat and was rewarded with a return engagement with Hope.
The Ghost Breakers (1940) pretty much rehashes the formula. This time Goddard inherits a haunted mansion in Cuba and, while she’s repeatedly warned away from the place by the suspicious executor of the will, radio gossip monger Hope is on the run from New York gangsters. Like Cat, it’s based on a stage play that spoofs the haunted house and ghost story conventions. This one is even less convincing than Cat, but at least director George Marshall makes an effort to construct the proper atmosphere around these city folk on a haunted safari in voodooland, and the script tosses in a zombie (Noble Johnson, doing the traditional Caribbean-style catatonic sleepwalker of a zombie), an animated suit of armor and more hidden rooms and passages. Both films manage to repeatedly get Goddard down to slips and negligees and, in Ghost Breakers, a swimsuit (logical attire for midnight to a spooky island) and a flimsy dress which gets torn off in a monster chase. A very young Anthony Quinn appears in two roles and Richard Carlson co-stars.
Nothing But the Truth (1941) spins a gimmick—Hope is stock broker who bets $10,000 that he can tell the truth for 24 hours—into a familiar web of misunderstandings, mistaken identities and romantic antics. Kind of a No, No Nanette with an earnest Hope at the center of the bet and a trio of conniving, lying, borderline criminal business associates (Edward Arnold, Leif Erickson and Glenn Anders) springing every dirty trick in the book on him in a string of public humiliations and private tricks. Goddard gets to have a little more fun in this one as a dizzy heiress who rattles a blue streak while falling for the hapless Hope, who can’t tell anyone about the bet. It’s pure stage farce, all contrivance and coincidence, blandly directed by Elliot Nugent, who just seems to let things happen as the camera rolls. And to honest, none of them are particularly
Willie Best co-stars in the latter two as Hope’s manservant, a quivering, sassy and subservient stereotype who gets called “boy” by most everyone except Hope and made the butt of countless jokes (not all of them offensive). You can’t defend this kind of casual bigotry, but Best’s performance is quite good (outside of the most egregious pandering to stereotypes) and he establishes a natural rapport with Hope establish while swapping wisecracks (and often getting the better of Hope). The danger of dismissing roles as these from the thirties and early forties is two-fold: we need to remember just how egregiously dismissive and demeaning these roles were, and we shouldn’t forget the talents that tried to inject a little personality and humanity between the humiliations.
The final films in the set—Road to Morocco (1942) and The Paleface (1948)—and the aforementioned The Ghost Breakers have previously been available in individual volumes (and Morocco in a “Road Movies” set). The Paleface is a very funny cowboy spoof with tenderfoot Easterner Hope as a would-be “painless” dentist who goes west and ends up lassoed into marrying shapely outlaw Jane Russell (whose unflappable deadpan makes her a formidable foil). Director Norman Z. McLeod plays the B-movie plot of gun smugglers and Indians straight and lets Hope schtick around the edges, then turns him into the dandiest gunfighter in the west. He even sings an Oscar winning tune: “Buttons and Bows.” It’s a shame, however, that Universal didn’t take the opportunity to spotlight films more in keeping with the survey of establishing his screen persona in his early film career. The three disc set also includes the mini-documentaries “Bob Hope and the Road to Success” and “Entertaining the Troops” (featuring exclusive footage of Hope’s USO tours), Command Performance 1944 and Command Performance 1944 (newsreel-style shorts showing Hope hosting the live radio show he did for the Army-Navy Screen Magazine), and the all-star WWII short Hollywood Victory Caravan. They spotlight yet another side of Hope, the public comedian and tireless entertainer who gave up so much time not just to entertain the troops but to take charge of the USO program and bring other Hollywood celebrities and entertainers into the fold.


WASHINGTON — The battery that caught fire in a Japan Airlines Boeing 787 in Boston earlier this month was not overcharged, but government investigators said there could still be problems with wiring or other charging components.
An examination of the flight data recorder indicated that the battery didn’t exceed its designed voltage of 32 volts, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement.
NTSB investigators are continuing to look at the battery system. They plan to meet Tuesday with officials from Securaplane Technologies Inc., manufacturer of the charger for the 787s lithium ion batteries, at the company’s headquarters in Tucson, Ariz., said Kelly Nantel, a spokeswoman for the board.
“Potentially there could be some other charging issue,” Nantel said. “We’re not prepared to say there was no charging issue.”
Even though it appears the voltage limit wasn’t exceeded in the case of the Japan Airlines 787 battery that caught fire on Jan. 7 in Boston, it’s possible that the battery failures in that plane and in an All Nippon Airways plane that made an emergency landing in Japan last week may be due to a charging problem, according to John Goglia, a former NTSB board member and aviation safety expert.

First Rate Revival of Don Giovanni at the Royal Opera House, C...Sam Smith
Don Giovanni of 1787 is one of three operas that Mozart wrote with the librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte (the others being Le nozze di Figaro and Così fan tutte). It tells of the eponymous hero, or rather antihero, who effortlessly conquers thousands of women. Although in the process he makes many enemies, the ladies he has cheated have a habit of coming back for more or trying to save him, and in the end he is responsible for his own downfall. When the ghost of the Commendatore who he...
Ratcheting up the Tension in The Turn of the Screw at Regent’s...Sam Smith
The Turn of the Screw is a 1954 chamber opera by Benjamin Britten, with Myfanwy Piper’s libretto being based on Henry James’ eponymous novella of 1898. Told across a prologue and sixteen scenes, with each of these being preceded by a variation on the twelve-note 'Screw' theme, it has been described as one of the most dramatically appealing of all English operas. Set in an English country house in Bly in the middle of the nineteenth century, it tells of a young...
The Royal Opera and London Sinfonietta Reveal a Cave at the Pr...Sam Smith
All operas are about more than just the music. In the case of composer Tansy Davies and librettist Nick Drake’s new creation Cave, however, the music, word, message and setting all possess such significance that the work would have been all the poorer had any of them not received the attention that they do. This is the second time that Davies and Drake have collaborated, following Between Worlds, which was produced by English National Opera and staged at the Barbican Theatre in...
First Revival of Richard Jones’ La bohème at the Royal Opera H...Sam Smith
Giacomo Puccini’s 1896 creation La bohème is one of the most frequently performed operas in the world today. Set in 1830s Paris, it focuses on six young adults and the love that four of them find with each other amidst the most impoverished of circumstances. One couple (Marcello and Musetta) have a stormy relationship but their frequent battles prove that their love actually has staying power. Rodolfo and Mimì, on the other hand, enjoy an apparently perfect love, but it...
Outstanding Musical Credentials Create an Enchanting Lohengrin...Sam Smith
Lohengrin of 1850 is the sixth of Richard Wagner’s thirteen operas, and the third he wrote (after Der fliegende Holländer and Tannhäuser) to be regularly performed still. It stands very much at a crossroads in that it harks back to classical opera in some respects, but in others looks forward to the composer’s later music dramas by including leitmotives and being essentially through-composed (although a few distinct arias are to be found within it). It is also the...
Manon in Ellis Island, at the LiceuXavier Pujol
The new Manon Lescaut production presented at Liceu, a co-production by Teatro di San Carlo from Naples and Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia from Valencia, starts at the Ellis Island in New York, a world referent for immigration. It is there that an old Des Grieux recalls his past and the romantic relationship that he had in his youth with Manon Lescaut. The whole opera by Puccini is presented therefore as an immense flashback. The scenography will transform to show us successively the Amiens...

When am I going to stop?
Same question. Different day. You fill in the blank. From the mundane to the life-changing, we all know what it’s like to have lifestyle patterns that make us feel trapped. We can ignore and deny to save face, but all the while we wonder what life would be like if we could just stop doing the same things over and over and getting on our own nerves.
Maybe you want to stop spending time with someone who brings you down. But you keep hanging out with them.
Maybe you want to stop procrastinating. But you keep waiting until the last minute.
Maybe you want to tell someone something – a truth that they really need to hear. But you keep holding it in.
Maybe you’re not sure exactly but you know that what you’re doing isn’t working and something needs to stop. Beneath the surface, as you go through your day to day, there’s this little pull that tells you something isn’t right. Trust me, I know.
Long ago, I dated a guy. Me and this guy, we smoked weed every single day. Sometimes all day long. It was our thing. I remember smoking sometimes when I didn’t even really feel like it. I thought that he’d feel that I was rejecting him and not the weed if I said no. And I thought that if he was high and I was not, I’d feel disconnected from him. So I smoked.
It dulled the tension. Not the tension between he and I, but the tension within myself. The kind of tension that comes from inner conflict and identity crisis. The tension of feeling like an underachiever and an overachiever at the same time and not knowing what to do about it. I’d smoke everyday and oversleep every morning and I’d wonder:
When am I going to stop doing this to myself? What’s wrong with me?
We ask ourselves this question because we know that “this” is hurting us and we’re denying ourselves in some way by allowing it. And yet day after day, we don’t have an answer. We just do what we’ve become accustomed to doing. Sometimes years and years pass by this way.
Here’s the problem with asking ourselves these questions. When you’re constantly in ‘don’t let me get me’ mode, thinking about all the reasons why you suck, your inner conversation doesn’t exactly breed inspiration or encourage change. We call ourselves names. We taunt ourselves with all the things that we’ll never accomplish because we can’t seem to stop doing X, Y and Z. We get so sick of ourselves that we actually think we’d rather have someone else’s problems – just to have a break from our own. We focus on our perceived weaknesses and underplay or completely ignore our strengths.
Even though I didn’t like myself very much during that time, my half baked way of life served a purpose. I know now that there was nothing wrong with me, but I needed to learn what I did NOT want for my life. And that phase made me so tired of myself that I became curious about what I did want. I didn’t wake up one day and change. What I did was start seeking and exploring new things, trying to expand my world.
I started graduate school.
I started going to therapy.
I started reading books about life + self-discovery + spirituality.
I started gravitating towards friends who were more about positivity and love and less about triviality and drama.
I started having less space in my life for bad habits and wasting time.
So my change didn’t come because of what I stopped doing so much as what I started doing.
The changes were gradual and flowed naturally. This is typically my pace with everything. Have you ever heard of the concept of kaizen? The word is Japanese for “improvement” and it’s a philosophy that focuses on gradual, small, consistent shifts to affect change. It can be applied to many aspects of life in including business, healthcare and of course, personal development. In my life, it’s been helpful for me to make changes little by little instead of making knee jerk decisions that overwhelm me.
Are you tired of yourself? Uninspired by what you’re doing with your life? (Oh how many times have I felt that way!) Start asking yourself what you can start doing. Make it something that comes naturally. Take a class in something that you have a natural inclination for but have never had formal training. Can’t afford a class? Then read a book. See if it awakens anything in you. Start a group. Maybe a book club or a women’s group of some sort. Start a blog. It’s free and it’s a great way to explore your interests and branch out.
Just because you know someone whose life seemed to change overnight, doesn’t mean that it really happened that way. If you don’t like how things are going, just start with a small adjustment. And then another. And then another. And then another. Keep going. *whispers* keep going…keep going…xo

In one of the largest studies to date to use metabolomics, the study of compounds that are created through various chemical reactions in the body, researchers have been able to identify new circulating compounds associated with the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
The findings, which appear in the journal Alzheimer and Dementia, point to new biological pathways that may be implicated in AD and could serve as biomarkers for risk of the disease.
AD is the most common form of dementia responsible for a slow and progressive deterioration of memory and leads to frailty and dependence in elderly people. Despite ongoing research effort and improved knowledge about the disease, there is currently no effective preventive or curative treatment for AD, which could result in a public health crisis given the continuous aging of populations worldwide.
Using data from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS), researchers from BUSM, observed an association specifically between levels of anthranillic acid measured in the plasma and a higher risk of developing dementia and AD after 10 years of follow-up.
Although the researchers are cautious about their results, they identifed several findings they find promising. “First anthranilic acid is produced during the degradation of tryptophan, an essential amino acid. Interestingly, other compounds produced through the same reactions have been reported as protective or deleterious for neurons and could constitute valuable drug targets. Second, this potential marker could also be used to identify groups of persons at higher risk of developing dementia, which could improve the efficiency of clinical trials and in the future, detect persons that would benefit the most from a preventive treatment,” explained co-corresponding author Sudha Seshadri, MD, professor of neurology at BUSM and FHS senior investigator.
From a methodological point of view, this study is one of the first to use a prospective cohort such as the FHS to search for compounds associated with the risk of developing AD and dementia. “As the field of AD epidemiology is only beginning to integrate the metabolomics approach, it is likely that fruitful collaborations and innovative ways to analyze these data will follow,” said co-corresponding author Vincent Chouraki, MD, PhD, former research fellow from BUSM and now assistant professor in epidemiology at Lille University School of Medicine in France.

Oregon Tech Renewable Energy Engineering students launched phase two of their floating solar aeration system on Upper Klamath Lake this week, which aims to increase the dissolved oxygen levels in the lake to help the endangered Lost River and Shortnose Suckers reach adulthood.
The project began last August with the launch of the first two solar panel systems. Those involved knew they’d be back out this year to check on the original system and to launch a second round.
The floating platforms each consists of four solar panels, which charge a battery and power a pump, which pumps oxygen into the water below. The battery onboard means the systems can run for 24 hours a day, instead of running out of power when the sun goes down.
While Mason Terry, director of the Oregon Renewable Energy Center at Oregon Tech said the project has been a success so far, the team came back out to tweak some things after the original islands have been in the water for almost a year. The program is creating the technology while the Klamath Tribes oversee the system and survey the impact it’s having on the lake and fish.
“Last year was just the pilot project to see if the system will do what we want, test out all of the equipment and learn from that,” Terry said. “This year is more robust, solving the problems we encountered and then deploy the PIT tag reader, so now they’re going to get a better idea of if the fish are actually using the location.”
On Wednesday, the team brought last year’s system back to the Rocky Point Boat Launch, which was closed Tuesday through Thursday for the project. The team made some changes to the first system, along with completing some maintenance, after coming across some unexpected challenges over the past year.
One of those challenges was the birds who live near the lake. Birds were using the solar platform as an island to rest on and were pooping on the solar panels. Because of this, the team build a sort of grid over the top of the platform to keep birds off the panels, similar to what fish hatcheries use, said Terry.
Another tweak was to the aeration hose, which got clogged and would kick up some sediment along the bottom of the lake as the system jostled with wind and waves. To correct that, the team of students built squares out of PVC pipe which can roll along the bottom of the lake and won’t kick up dirt when it moves around.
Jennifer Berdyugin, a graduate student at Oregon Tech working on the project, said the system she and her colleagues created is unique in a couple of ways, one being the size of the lake they’re working on as most aeration systems are on much smaller and more shallow lakes.
She said they factored in several variables the system would likely encounter once on the water for the first year, including the…

The European Commission today officially launched the EU Skills Panorama, a website presenting information on skills needs, skills supply and skills mismatches. It draws on data and forecasts across Europe and will highlight the fastest growing and top 'bottleneck' occupations.
There are around 2 million job vacancies across the EU despite high levels of unemployment. Most unfilled jobs can be found in finance and sales profession. Other shortages most frequently reported concern biologists, pharmacologists, medical doctors and related professionals, nurses, ICT computing professionals and engineers.
The website contains detailed information sector by sector, profession by profession and country by country.
“Improved skills and qualifications are key to boosting Europe's productivity and competitiveness. The EU Skills Panorama will provide a single access point to the most up-to-date European and national information sources. It will also help us to improve the response of education and training systems to changing skill trends and to ensure people are equipped for those areas where job demand is set to increase,” said Androulla Vassiliou, the European Commissioner responsible for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth.

text: The biggest sneaker industry story of the young year is the resignation of longtime Nike VP Ann Hebert, an employee of 25 years who stepped down from her role in charge of the brand’s North America business last week. Her resignation was prompted by a Bloomberg Businessweek story focusing on her 19-year-old son, a reseller named Joe who runs a sneaker resale operation called West Coast Streetwear out of a warehouse in Oregon. The piece on Joe made public for the first time his connection to one of the highest-ranking executives at Nike, raising questions over whether his mother was complicit in his business of flipping shoes. Was she helping him get limited-edition sneakers to resell for profit? How aware was she that her son was doing, according to Bloomberg Businessweek, $200,000 in monthly revenue? How aware was Nike? Here’s how the saga of Ann Hebert and West Coast Streetwear unfolded, and what Nike plans to do about it.


Ace director Shoaib Mansoor has come out with Dua e Reem ‘Prayer of a Woman” on International Women’s Day. The song is a celebration of women as well as an anthem to set the narrative right. Taking inspiration from Allama Iqbal’s poem Lab Py Ati Hai Dua, the song’s underlying message is companionship and equality in relationships.
The music video features Mahira Khan as a bride at her sangeet ceremony surrounded by women young and old.The ceremony begins with a group of singers who seemingly sing a prayer for the bride’s life ahead. Through the song the bride is being advised to compromise and stay dedicated to her marriage and husband no matter what. The lyrics go like
“Never complain the looks or character of your husband”
“Rebelling is not what a good woman does”
In short the young bride is being advised to adopt the cultural dos and don’t of a patriarchal society. The elderly women advise her to be submissive and even if she has to endure abuse in form a slap be grateful that it wasn’t his shoe.
Unable to contain her angst the bride decides to put an end to the regressive prayer and devises her own. The lyrics narrate a balance and progressive anthem celebrating love and prosperity.
“To love my husband should be my conviction – not worship, slavery or total submission. You have created him a man, my Lord. Now, teach me how to make him a human.”
She further prays that they have so much love and and compassion that they never have to face conflicts or matters never escalate to a point where one has to resort to violence. Written, composed and directed by Shoaib Mansoor, the song is in fact a much needed reminder amidst the never ending circle of gender roles and a regressive cultural set up adopted by many even now.

News in Brief: A State Capitals Roundup
Idaho Tax-Credit Proposal Falls Flat
A proposal that would have given a $1,500 state income-tax credit to parents who send their children to private schools failed to make it out of an Idaho House committee this month.
The Revenue and Taxation committee voted 9-8 against the proposal Feb. 6, with one member absent. Some of the legislators who voted against the bill expressed uncertainty about the impact it would have on the public school system and the state's general fund.
The tax credit would have been valid only for parents with children about to enter the 1st grade and for those children in subsequent years, and for children in future incoming classes. Private school children already enrolled in higher grades would have been excluded. The state had almost 900 1st graders outside the public school system during the 1996-97 school year.
Idaho spends $4,055 per student in its public schools. The bill's sponsors said that even with a $1,500 tax credit, the state would end up spending far more than the amount of the private school tax credit on public school students. A similar plan passed the House last year but not the Senate.
Edgar Favors Scrapping State Board
Hoping to win a bigger say in education policy for the next governor of Illinois, current Gov. Jim Edgar is calling for a constitutional amendment to replace the state school board with a Cabinet-level education department.
If approved, the proposal, which the Republican governor said he would like to see on the November ballot, would likely not take effect until January 2000, according to Allen D. Grosboll, the governor's chief of staff.
Gov. Edgar, who is finishing up his second term, will leave office next January.
The change would also come after state schools chief Joseph A. Spagnolo's current contract expires.
Mr. Grosboll said the governor's intentions are "not political." Mr. Edgar wants to ensure that future governors take an active role in education and that they, rather than the state board, are held accountable for school policy.
Although several prominent lawmakers have endorsed the plan, Mr. Spagnolo said the current system helps protect his office from ever-changing political tides.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is Samsung's 2015 offering to the gods of phablets and stylus-loving smartphone owners.
Samsung Galaxy Note 5: Specs
It may have been superseded by the newer Samsung Galaxy Note 7, but 2015's Galaxy Note 5 still has a lot to offer the discerning smartphone owner. Powered by an octa-core Exynos processor and with a superb display that still outshines many newer flagship devices, the Note 5 brings versatility and functionality to the larger smartphone form factor. The hefty 3,000mAh battery will help the phone continue working through the day as well.
|Device||Samsung Galaxy Note 5|
|Processor||Octa-Core 1.5/2.1GHz Exynos|
|Resolution||2560 X 1440|
Samsung Galaxy Note 5: Buy outright
It's over 12 months old now, so the Galaxy Note 5's initially higher RRP has dropped significantly over time. It's no longer the flagship device of the Note range either, which means bargain hunters can potentially find the Note 5 at a discounted price if they shop around.
Samsung Galaxy Note 5: Review
While the Note 5 lacks expandable memory and had some issues with the S-Pen's insertion design, the simple fact is that the stunning screen and best in class battery life made it one of 2015's best smartphones.
"The larger size for the Note range has always meant that it offers solid day-long battery performance, and that continues with the Note 5, which beats out most of the class of 2015 thanks to its 3000maH battery. It can also charge extremely quickly with the supplied fast charger."
Given the Note 7 improves upon those issues, the Note 5 may be obsolete in the eyes of many, but it's still definitely worthy of consideration for bargain hunters needing a big-screened powerhouse of a smartphone.


For the last 48 hours, I've been quite startled by ghosts of my childhood creeping into my consciousness as I start to understand my birth language, and subtly align myself to social cues in Katowice. I'm again reminded how powerful that first coat of paint is on the psyche, and I think about my kids. My mastery of the language and culture is that of a child. I'm told by many here that its weird to have a grown man sound like a child, a developmentally disabled child no less. But it's getting better fast.
The country has changed so much, especially since joining the EU over ten years ago. Culturally and artistically, it's going through a renaissance that has caught the world's notice, with its various major cities creating hubs that allow the new generation, which is unhinged from much of the historical baggage, to create vibrant expressions of who they are.
After a long day of travel, we arrived in Katowice, Poland in the morning. Jarek Szubrycht, our Festival Contact, met us at the airport, and after a quick stop at the hotel, we started checking out the locations of our in studios. Katowice is a relatively young city from a Polish perspective, only 150 years old. It incorporated around the coal fields discovered in the Silesian area, and developed housing to support the miners and workers supporting them.
This offers us a range of interesting locations. Our first stop is an unused Porcelain Factory, which is being transformed into a mixed-use facility for artists and startups. The weathered walls, empty factory floors, and fractured windows offer a huge expanse of depth to capture the energy of the bands coming through.Our second location is a jazz/rock venue in an old Communist-era cultural building. It’s called Klub Fantom, and it represents a new kitschy nostalgia for '70s style Socialist furniture personified in the ubiquitous multi-purpose wall called “Meblo Scanka” wall of furniture. This is the furniture I grew up with when I was living here, so it’s hilarious to me to see it “hipsterfied”. The stage is a wallpapered cargo container.
Our final location will be in the oldest part of this city, Nikisowiec, the housing district for the miners. There are three-story red brick compounds with lovely grass-covered plazas and a heartwarming rose motif throughout. This area offered the workers housing, schools, clinics, and stores.
We finished the evening at a traditional Polish restaurant in Nikisowiec where the Festival Director Artur Rojek hosted us with a classic miners meal of barley and sausage soup, dumplings, spiced meat, sauerkraut, and a delicious local microbrew wheat beer. Vodka shots ended the night. I was verklempt in memories at the first taste.
After 24 hours here, I’m awash in ancient memories that speak to me in a language that I understand more each hour. I feel a bit like I’m slowly coming out of a cultural coma. Things are coming into focus, but I’ve been asleep for decades, so it’s unfamiliar in both temporal and spatial ways. The adventure is within and without.
Jarek Szubrycht and Magdalena Jensen of the Off Festival crew are awesome and are going out of their way to offer us the best of the city. Our volunteer, Zuzanna Siwicka from Warsaw, found out that we would be in Katowice and went through the KEXP volunteer page to sign up to help us at the Festival. We live in magical times!
Musically, we all have been blown away by the talent that we've seen and heard here in just 48 hours.
The local duo Coals came in first to our location at Klub Fantom in the town of Bytom. The duo made up of Katarzyna Kowalczyk on vocals/guitar, and Łukasz Rozmysłowski on guitar and electronics met on the internet. They live in the towns of Gliwice & Lędziny in Silesia and are very proud of being from that region of Poland. Their sound and vibe is both delicate and haunting with a sophistication that belies their young age.
Warsaw-based garage rockers The Stubs followed up with a proper cleansing set of low rent rock that got the room into a groove for the day to come. Stubs members Tomek (guitar,voc) Radosław (drums) and Łukasz (bass) sonically kicked the ass out of any doubt anyone had whether a Warsaw band can't rock out! That anyone, of course, was me. Solid guitar work, crystal clear and heavy drum sound, and a driving anchor on bass made everyone happy.
We changed location for the last band to the heart of Katowice and the oldest part of town, Nikisowiec.
The ethno-punk band Hańba! from Krakow set up to play in between to apartment blocks on a torn up street that could be a set from a Hollywood period piece. It was an amazing visual. Hańba!, which is a Polish word one yells out to whom one thinks is acting disgraceful, play a particular type of folk that combines street music styles from the interwar years in Poland but with a punk attitude. The lyrics are taken from Polish poets of the same time and speak of the confusion and apprehension the Poles were feeling stuck with two of the worst neighbors of the 20th century. Adding to this beautiful and heartbreaking performance is the knowledge that many musicians in the major cities of Poland at the time were Jewish, and that both Jewish and Gentile musicians collaborated together to created this sound as Polish music not tied to ethnicity. The Nazis made sure that distinction was made, and began pruning, wiping out a people and a musical culture.
Hańba! is keeping this culture alive, thankfully, but with a punk edge which makes it unforgettable.

Found within the tome of this new collection of horror stories, you’ll find Richard Corben spinning tales inspired by the likes of old EC series like The Vault of Horror or Tales from the Crypt. Calling it a tome is a bit hyperbolic, but this is thirty-some pages of a fun throwback to when horror was far more innocent.
Mag the Hag is our storyteller, and much like the Cryptkeeper, he introduces us to all the stories and has a clever turn of phrase at the end of each. In one story, two puppets are actually tiny, little creatures. In another, two people are stranded on an island after a plane crash and run across horrific roots. In the third, a wife unintentionally finds a way around ’till death do us part, and the final tale is an ancient story about gods and a man who has great strength that will continue in issue two.
The stories are a fun romp. I can’t say anything scared me or gave me chills, but I did smile with fondness whenever our protagonists stumbled unknowingly towards their wretched fates.
The thing that makes this most worthwhile is the simply stunning black-and-white art from Corben himself. He’s a master of bringing life to the absurd, weird, and horrific, and he gives himself plenty of opportunity to do so in this first issue. His work as an artist is epic and surreal through his characters’ long faces and eyes that seem to come to life. It’s a haunting landscape, because the humans are warped ever so slightly, almost as if they were mocking the reader with how closely they resemble us.
Is this comic going to be worth it for just anyone to pick up and buy? Most likely not, but if you’re a horror fan or a fan of Corben, you really can’t go wrong.

Our campaign to win protection for much loved local buildings has been won, as Camden Council launches a consultation on a “local list” for our area.
In recent years two important, historical buildings – the Old Chappell Factory and the former North London Polytechnic Buliding – have fallen under threat of demolition. The buildings were at risk because, although they are undisputably of local historical significance, to qualify for listing (and therefore protection under planning law) a building in Camden must currently have national significance.
After local people successfully fought to save both buildings, I proposed a “local list” for Camden so we could protect buildings deemed to have social, historical or community significance to people in the borough (if not across the country). The idea was quickly covered in the Camden New Journal and well received by local residents, campaigners and conservationists.
To their credit, the council will now introduce a local list, and are asking what criteria should be used to add buildings. Their sensible proposal would require buildings to meet two criteria from architectural interest, historical significance, town scape value or social value. However, the really important decision will be how buildings are proposed for and accepted onto the list. This process should be community led – with the criteria applied in a fair, balanced and transparent way.
You can have your say here.

In1938, when I was nine years old, United States President was Franklin Roosevelt. It was the zenith of “do It your-selfers. A new car cost $700, gasoline was 20 cents a gallon, bread was 9 cents, a postage stamp was 3 cents, milk was 50 cents a gallon. The average annual salary was $1,700. Hit songs that year were, “Begin the Beguine”, “Thanks for the Memories” and “Whistle While You Work”.
It was Labor Day, we could hear the drums from the parade downtown, but Dad battled termites. He used a heavy brush and painted creosote on the foundation of our ‘brown house’ on 330 South 14t.hStreet. Mother was busy in the kitchen. I wandered down the basement stairs and noted that the crawl space was open. It was kept closed. I peered into the shadowed area and spied a box. Why would a box be under the house. I pulled it to the stairway and slowly opened it. Inside the box were bundles of letters, some tied together with ribbon. Curious as to why letters were in a box under the house, I began pulling a letter from an aged envelope and unfolded the paper and read, “To My Darling, My Sweetheart”…. I had never heard of a love letter. Who had written these? I read further and found a love poem. The signature on the letter flowed across the paper – Herman Bennie Siemens.
My Daddy wrote this letter? My Daddy wrote poems? Why would my Daddy’s letters be under the house? Who is “My Darling”. I opened another letter and found a telling signature, Anna Daisy Suderman - Mom. What a treasure! I found letters that my parents wrote to each other before they were married. I read the school girl writing, slightly slanted to the left that my Mom had written.
My parents were just my parents – and here was evidence of another life of my parents before I was born. Incredible. As I read the third letter from the box, I heard footsteps, and Mom’s voice floated down to me, “What are you doing?” Before I had a chance to respond, Mom swooped down and replaced the letters and closed the box again. “You are too young to read this now.” There never was a time when I could read them. I wonder now what happened to the letters, a testimony of the love that lasted a lifetime.
Love letters are a tradition in history. Imagine my surprise in learning on internet that for a price, you can choose the parts you want to put together to form a love letter, as well as love poems. Interesting that love letters have become a lucrative business based on the need to express love-thoughts to one’s special love. What is it about love letters that books are written on the “How-to’s” of writing a love letter?
One example of Dad’s written love for Mom, the love letters no longer exist, from the back of a picture (above) he gave Mom in 1941. …..In memory of our 13th Anniversary Engagement (April 20, 1926). Here’s to the Dearest little Girl in the World. Who promised faithfully to this humble boy, and through the years has kept this faith – true, pure and without alloy. From Herman.
My love letters from my dear husband were lost in a move. I mourned the loss, but learned through the years that love is not always written – but lived out. When I count all the ways my dear husband proves his love, there is no need for words. He worked long hours, made life easier on many different ways, including often caring for the babies in the middle of the night in our early marriage.
On our refrigerator is a love note from our daughter, I love you, Mommy. A reminder that although miles separate us, our love stays whole in our hearts. We receive love letters from our children, our grand children and from friends. I see a love letter when a child smiles and when I see someone help someone else. A love letter is giving of time and thought. There is nothing more personal that a handwritten note encouraging someone you love. A love letter is putting your heart on paper.
God sent Jesus, His Love Letter to us. This is one Love Letter that is for eternity.
A love letter that cannot fade in time. Every time we see a sunrise or a sunset, their brilliance is a Love Letter from our Creator. Is it any wonder that when we read Paul’s Epistles in the New Testament we know his intense love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Twenty-one of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament are Paul’s love letters to the churches then and to us today. They tell of the unforgettable love of Jesus Christ who died for our sins and that Jesus was raised to life again, our advocate and giver of forgiveness of sins.
Philippians 1:3-6 - I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
II Corinthians 3:2-3 - You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
What kind of love letter can we write to the One who is our Creator and our Sustainer? II Thessalonians 5:16-18 gives the answer.
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Stimulant maintenance therapy did not work 😦
This study did not find a significant main effect of modafinil on the rate or duration of cocaine use among cocaine-dependent patients.
Now they decide to polish the turd:
Although these results are disappointing, we did find that modafinil-treated patients had nonsignificantly higher odds of attaining abstinence across all of the study time points, and those treated with 400 mg/day had significantly greater odds of attaining abstinence (p = .04) at the end of their 8-week medication trial (Visit 24). There was also a significant difference (p = .02) in the OR for abstinence at the final follow-up visit, suggesting the possibility that modafinil facilitated delayed clinical improvement that was not captured by our 8-week study design.
Back to reality:
Despite its ability to blunt cocaine-induced euphoria in three controlled human laboratory studies ( [Dackis et al., 2003], [Hart et al., 2008] and [Malcolm et al., 2006]), modafinil did not show overall success in this outpatient clinical trial.
Maybe these people are just too tough:
It is important to note that all of the patients in this study tested positive for cocaine at baseline. It is well established that patients who test positive for cocaine at study start have extremely poor clinical outcomes when compared with those who are able to produce a cocaine-negative urine sample ( [Ahmadi et al., 2009],[Kampman et al., 2001], [Patkar et al., 2002] and [Poling et al., 2007]). The reason for this finding is unclear, but it probably stems from greater addiction severity, less motivation for recovery, or both of these clinical features.
There will be evidence, dammit!
Despite our negative study, we believe it is premature to dismiss modafinil as a potential treatment for cocaine dependence.

The Russian “Civilizing Mission” and the Russian War against Ukraine: the 19th-Century Colonial Origins
By Elżbieta Kwiecińska
This article is based on a presentation the author delivered at the European Times Seminar (EUTIM) at the European University Viadrina in April 2023, in which she discussed her doctoral thesis on the colonial concept of the civilizing mission as a cultural transfer in East-Central Europe during the nineteenth century. In this article, her aim is to outline the nineteenth century colonial origins of the contemporary Russian justification of the war against Ukraine as a Russian “civilizing mission”.
The concept of the “civilizing mission”has been generally associated with justification of Western colonialism. In my dissertation, I show how the concept of the civilizing mission – once used in the colonial politics of Western empires – was transferred in various ways to another geographical area, namely to East-Central Europe, both as an intellectual idea and as a tool for legitimizing political power. The main premise of the civilizing mission lies in the conviction that improving the world depends on including as many non-Europeans as possible in the achievements of the “superior Western civilization”. In fact, the main purpose of those who impose their own civilizing mission on others has been often to justify political hegemony and territorial conquest.
The history of Russian civilizing missions to its western borderlands started with legitimizing a territorial conquest of the central and eastern parts of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. As historian Andrii Portnov showed in his paper (in Polish) “How Russia got to know ‘its people’. Images of the lands ‘newly acquired’ as a result of the partitions of the Republic in social consciousness and policy of the authorities of the Russian Empire (late 18th – early 19th century)”, the concept of the Russian civilizing mission aimed at the legitimization of the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and did not result in any “civilizing” attempts. Mikhail Krechetnikov (1723-1793), a Governor-General of the newly conquered area (today Belarus, Lithuania, western Ukraine and parts of Poland) after the First Partition of the Commonwealth in 1772, published a manifesto in 1793, in which he justified the Second Partition (1793) as aimed at ‘keeping peace, silence and freedom in her [Russia’s] neighboring province’. Portnov considers Kretechnikov’s reasoning to be enlightened thinking of Orderliness and Chaos, which was part of the European discourse on the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth back then. Kretchetnikov argued that the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was a chaotic state that lacked state-building capacity and needed the external “mission”. As I argue, Krechetnikov’s thinking (as described by Portnov) was deeply rooted in colonial divisions between a “civilized” metropole and a “barbarian” colony. The civilizing mission was to justify territorial conquest and power of the empire over its colony: Great Britain and France adopted the concept of the civilizing mission and applied it in India and Algeria, respectively. Following the same logic, Russia claimed to “civilize” its Western borderlands: Lithuania, Belarus, Poland and Ukraine. Russia’s justification for its territorial conquest of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on the basis of allegedly prevailing chaos and anarchy resembles the rationale of the “failed state” in the twentieth century, that is, a state that supposedly fails to exercise power over its territory and to protect its citizens. The failed state concept, however, has been criticized by postcolonial scholars as a form of neocolonialism.
Deciding what is good or bad for the population that is to be “civilized” is essential to colonialism. Thus, people are objectified and paternalized as “lower culture”, it is claimed that they need to be ruled by a „civilized” ruler. Krechetnikov asserts that bringing “peace” to Poland, Ukraine and other East-Central European countries was for their own good. He supported Empress Catherine II, who was compassionate to the Eastern Christian Orthodox peoples because of their oppression under Polish rule and wanted to save them from a danger of godless rebels in the Kingdom of France, that is, ideas of liberty, equality and brotherhood the French Revolution brought up. Anti-modernist resentment persists also in today’s Russia. Kremlin propaganda underlines Russia’s mission to protect its Slavic peoples’ traditional values. Alleging that “the West” brings decadence is a recurring motif of Vladimir Putin’s speeches, who believes to be defending Russians against same-sex marriages or LGBTQ rights.
Portnov highlights the fact that Empress Catherine II and Krechetnikov did not legitimize the conquest of the eastern parts of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth by common ethnic or national ties between Russians and other people living there. In a secret letter to Krechetnikov, Catherine II mentioned only historical and religious arguments as ‘those lands have long belonged to Russia, cities were founded by Ruthenian princes and peoples have common origins with the Russians and are of one faith with us’. According to Portnov, the Empress’ s reasoning was only a tactical tool that legitimized her politics. Portnov notes an advice she gave to the Austrian ambassador in 1770: ‘Dig in your archives and you’ll find an excuse to seize something else in Poland besides what you’ve already occupied’. Portnov also describes a story of Eastern Orthodox hegumen Teodozy Lenartowicz from Vilnius who encouraged Petersburg authorities to defend the rights of Orthodox believers with one of the reasons he mentioned being the fertile grounds that the Orthodox believers inhabited: ‘Our Russian state will be able to take 600 versts of the best and very fertile land with countless Orthodox people from the world rightly and fairly from Poles’.
It was not until the 1860s that the Russian civilizing mission merged with modern Russian imperial nationalism and assimilatory politics of Russification in Russian-ruled Poland and Ukraine. In addition to this, Russian ideologues adopted vocabulary of Western colonialism. Its main ideologue was Mikhail Katkov (1818-1887), an influential journalist and editor-in-chief of The Moscow News (Moskovskie Vedomosti). As historian Henryk Głębocki noted, Katkov was impressed by the “German civilizing mission” that justified oppression against Catholic Poles in Eastern Prussia. In defining forced assimilatory politics, Katkov highlighted the importance of Russian literature and language for establishing common “Russian civilization” among all Slavs, again, without asking whether non-russian Slavs wanted to be part of that. In his Note to the editor of the Kolokol , Katkov maintained that ‘the Russian cause is the cause of civilization and mankind, that at the same time we remain within the limits of common sense on earth’. He underlined that the real progress in Russia is possible only on the basis of Russian nationhood and statehood. In other words, only the Russian state and nationhood can provide “civilization”, so other minor cultures of the Russian Empire,like the Polish or Ukrainian one, should be excluded and persecuted as “separatist”, as Katkov called his opponents.
Katkov’s work got republished in 2009 in the series The Russian Civilization under the name The Ideology of the Guard (“Идеология Охранительства”). His nineteenth century articles were restructured into new chapters. The nineteenth century concepts were given new life in Putin’s neocolonial Russia.
A similar logic has been used by Alexander Dugin, the main ideologue of the Kremlin regime. In his text Foundations of Geopolitics (“Основы геополитики”) from 1997, Dugin already declared the future civilizing mission of the Russian people to the whole region of Eurasia with the center in Russia:
The Russian people, unlike many other peoples, has developed as the bearer of a special civilization that has all the distinctive features of an original and full-fledged planetary historical phenomenon. The Russian people is that civilizational constant that served as the axis in the creation of not one, but many states: from the mosaic of East Slavic principalities to Moscow Rus’, the Petrine Empire and the Soviet bloc. (…) Eurasia is predetermined geographical and strategic association. This is a strictly scientific geopolitical fact. Russia must inevitably be at the center of such an association. The driving force of the unification must inevitably be the Russian people. The civilizational mission of the Russians, their universalist ideal, and the logic of the historical formation of the nation and state are in complete harmony with this mission.
Dugin illustrated his view on “geopolitics” with a map where East-Central Europe is shown as a playground between the big powers in Moscow and Berlin.
Similarly, in the publicly called “historical article” by Vladimir Putin On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians, the countries between Moscow and Berlin were treated unanimously as an object of trade between Russia and the West. Although Putin claimed “unity” of Russians and Ukrainians, he deprives the latter of any historical agency. Putin considers modern Ukraine entirely as a “product of the Soviet era” whose sovereignty is only possible under the protectorate of Russia. Those who claim different views are excluded as “separatists” (the same as Katkov), “junta” and “neo-Nazis”. Putin as a self-acclaimed historian believes that “there was no historical basis” for Ukrainian separateness from Russians.
Interestingly, Putin considers the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as well. He repeats Empress Catherine II’s reasoning with some modifications. They both underline that the eastern borderlands of the Commonwealth were “the western Russian lands” that share “common faith” and “cultural traditions” with Russia and are opposed to Polish oppression. However, in contrast to Empress Catherine II, Putin anachronistically underlines the language similarity between Russians and Ukrainians at the end of the eighteenth century. Back then, as I have shown above, Catherine II and Governor-General Kretchetnikov used an argument of religious unity under Christian Orthodox Church to legitimize territorial conquest of Ukraine. At the time of Catherine II, linguistic and cultural similarities were not an issue. What defined one’s place in a society was first of all social estate (gentry, peasantry, clergy) and religion. It happened only later in the 1860s that Katkov raised linguistic issues and advocated for discriminatory politics against Ukrainian language and literature what aimed at their assimilation to Russian imperial culture.
Finally, when Putin repeats the arguments for the supposed unity between Russians and Ukrainians at the end of his text, he puts the civilizational argument first, emphasizing that ‘our spiritual, human and civilizational ties formed for centuries and have their origins in the same sources’. By the ‘origins in the same sources’ he means the Kyivan Rus’, a medieval state. The common ‘spiritual, human and civilization ties’ is a reference to a Russian imperial idea of the “Russian world” (“Russkiy mir”) that encompasses all Russian speaking people. In fact, the “Russkiy mir” and ideological roots of the Russian war against Ukraine do not go back to Kyivan Rus’, but to late eighteenth-century Russian Empress Catherine II, her Governor-General Mikhail Katkov and nineteenth-century imperial nationalist writer Mykhail Katkov, who all manipulated the argument of Russian-Ukrainian unity for purposes of imperial politics. As in the past, the Ukrainian objects of this “unity” were not asked permission on whether they wanted to share “the civilizational ties” with Russia, which are now being forced on them by tanks and missiles.

If St. Clair County residents see an out-of-state or unfamiliar number light up their phone screens in the coming weeks, it could be a data collector calling with questions.
And health department officials want people to pick up.
The county is launching its next community health needs assessment, and over-the-phone surveys begin in the next week. The last health survey came five years ago with results publishing in 2017.
A cyclical process that helps develop community response plans, the assessment has previously addressed information about local adult’s health behaviors, including access to health care and literacy, chronic pain, common ailments and illnesses, caregiving, and substance use disorders.
This year, Dr. Annette Mercatante, the county’s medical health officer, said they’re adding questions about trauma and how COVID-19 impacted people’s lives.
“It’s about a 20-minute survey, so we’re hoping people take the time to do that,” she said.
“These surveys are anonymous. They are not reported with a name — even to us,” Mercatante added. “And they will be (put) out neatly in an aggregate form. … We’ve hired people that are professionally funded to do this.”
Who’s doing the survey?
The health department is using the same firm, Illinois-based VIP Research and Evaluation, that oversaw the 2016 survey.
At the time, it contracted for roughly $72,500. For this round, the county board OK’d a contract for up to $95,000 in May. Mercatante said the firm goes through a service to dispatch calls before data is aggregated.
Alyse Nichols, a health educator and health department spokeswoman, said the caller may show up as the Tennessee 423 area code.
“But depending on your phone provider, it may just say, ‘Private,’” she said. “So, we’re just encouraging people (to) answer the phone so we can capture the data.”
Mercatante said they need about 1,200 respondents, and that calls would likely continue into the fall or until they reached the target later this year.
What is the health information used for?
The 2016 health needs assessment broke results down into three regions of the county with data areas including lifestyle risks, mental health, and pregnancies, as well as prevalence of cancer, diabetes, lung and heart disease, stroke and more.
For example: About 33% and 32% of adults were obese and overweight, one in three adults reported not visiting a dentist, and three in 10 adults were smokers, which was higher than the national average. The incidence of all cancers was less than the statewide average, but the mortality rate in some areas of illness was higher.
Mercatante said many of those “issues are still really valid.”
Once data is collected and put together in report form, the health official said they’ll use it to develop annual plans in how to address key issues.
The annual update was supposed to come in the last few years, but she said the process was stymied by the pandemic.
Despite the setback, Mercatante said the benefits of a community-wide health plan were clear during the response to the pandemic. She pointed to groups like the Diversity Initiative of St. Clair County and Blue Meets Green helping spread vaccine awareness as examples of collaborative practices rippling out.
Moving forward, Nichols said, “We’re going to be using the data … to help with funding needs and to kind of prioritize where our resources go. The community voice is what’s going to lead that. That’s why we really need those responses.”

Drag cards to move them between the waste pile, the seven tableau columns at the bottom , and the four foundations. Spider Solitaire is a game you can learn relatively quickly, especially if you are already familiar with Solitaire.
In all versions of the game 1 Suit, 2 Suit, and 4 Suit the game is played with two decks with no jokers, or cards, shuffled before every game.
Following this, the cards are laid out in 10 piles or columns along a horizontal line, with 6 cards in each of the first four piles, and 5 cards in each of the last six piles.
The last card in each pile is placed face up. The cards are placed one at a time in each pile, i. The 11th card would go to the first pile, and you continue the process until all 54 cards are dealt.
After the face up cards are drawn, the rest of the cards are left as the Stockpile and will be used to draw cards into the game. The line of 10 piles is known as the Tableau.
As shown by the image, the layout of the cards is not too difficult to grasp and is very similar to the original Solitaire game. When it comes to Spider Solitaire, there are different variations that can be enjoyed.
These will increase and decrease with difficulty depending on the type 1 Suit, 2 Suit, and 4 Suit. Your goal is to arrange or sequence the cards in the columns along the tableau in descending order from King to Ace.
For every completed sequence, you move those cards out of the tableau and game into one of the eight foundations.
When each foundation is completed, with cards of suit stacked from King to Ace, and there are no more cards left, the game is won. Throughout the game, if a column or pile is empty, you can move new cards to that pile, which can then be sequenced.
As you complete all of the necessary moves, begin to construct rows of cards in descending order from King to Ace of the same suit, moving them to the Foundation once fully completed.
After the eight foundation piles are filled, you win. This style of play is closely related to how regular Solitaire is played, except with regular Solitaire, you place the cards in descending order switching alternating red and black suits.
You can for example move a 7 of clubs and put it on an 8 of clubs, or an 8 of hearts, diamonds or spades. However, even though you can move cards onto other cards in a different suit, the objective of the game is to create runs in the same suit, so a run will only be removed from the table if it's all in the same suit, a full run in different suits doesn't do anything for you.
Although it can be useful to move cards onto other suits just to get them out of the way. You can move multiple cards together if they are all part of a run in the same suit.
However if you have 8 of clubs, 7 of hearts, 6 of diamonds, then you can't move them all together, only the top card. A full run does not have to be the only thing on a tableau to be removed.
For example, a tableau might have three facedown cards and then a full run from King to Ace in the same suit and then the run would disappear, and the three facedown cards would remain.
When there are no more moves that can be made in the tableaus then you can click on the stock in the upper left corner. That will move 10 cards from the stock onto the tableaus, one card onto each tableau.
Try not to do this until you are sure you have no other moves to make. It is required that there is at least one card in each tableau when the stock is clicked.
If there is an empty tableau on the table you must first move one or more cards onto it before you can click on the stock.
You start with points. For each move you make one point gets subtracted. For each run you remove from the table you'll get a extra points.
The game can be played in three different modes, beginner, intermediate and advanced. In beginner mode there is only one suit spades , in intermediate mode there are two spades and hearts and in advanced mode there are all four suits.
There are the same number of cards, , in all modes. Out of the three it is definitely my favorite, although I've only ever won it with two suits, never four.
I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I do :. If you have any questions, comments or requests for other solitaire games you can send them to admin cardgames.

As the Coronavirus dubbed COVID-19 takes its toll on the world killing nearly 70,000 people so far with another 1.2 million people infected, many public institutions have been forced to improvise. One of the talked about government duties to society is the administration of justice.
Kenya has released about 4,800 prisoners in the last one month in order to stem the spread of the virus but it has found a new way of administering justice in Skype and Zoom.
Anne Amadi who is the chief registrar of the judiciary in Kenya told CNN that “We prioritized getting a lot of people out of prison, especially petty offenders. Those who are in prison for a short term and those who have been there for a long time but have just about six months and below to go.”
“As of Friday, last week, we managed to decongest the prison by about 4,800 inmates from different parts of the country. All our 39 high court stations have released people. Most of them, a good number, through Skype or Zoom,” she added.
Today, Mombasa High Court Presiding Judge, Hon. Eric Ogola, delivered 23 judgements through the use of Skype Conference to the inmates in Shimo La Tewa Prison. pic.twitter.com/DCsdn4nArj
— The Judiciary Kenya (@Kenyajudiciary) March 30, 2020
The decision according to the chief registrar was made when it was announced that the virus had reached the Kenyan shores. There are now about 142 confirmed cases in the East African nation with 4 deaths and 4 recoveries so far.
The move is part of the social/physical distancing measures that have been put in place by many governments across the world now.
It’s not clear though how much of judiciary business has been taken online in light of the security challenges facing Zoom and some other video conferring platforms.
African nations have been seeing a gradual increase in the number of cases even though deaths by the virus has been on the low. Kenya has a population of about 50 million people while Nigeria which has a population of over 280 million people has 232 cases of the virus, 33 recoveries and 5 deaths so far. There is a lock down order in place in major cities like Abuja and Lagos as the government and private sector try to reduce the number of infections in major cities.
Please stay safe out there and maintain social distancing measures. Don’t forget to wash your hands often and call the doctor if you feel sick. If there’s a stay at home order in your city or state, please adhere to it.
