Historian of Cornwall in the Industrial Revolution
Friday 11 June 2004
In 1953 the book
Cornwall in the Age of the Industrial Revolution established John Rowe as a key member of a small group of distinguished scholars - the others being A.L. Rowse and Mary Coate - whose work in the middle decades of the 20th century led to a series of impressive publications covering Cornwall from the end of the medieval period to the Victorian era. As Rowse pointed out in a foreword, the work of these three scholars covered the "significant moments" when Cornwall had "impinged on English history".
William John Rowe, historian and writer: born Redgate, Cornwall 31 October 1915; Lecturer, then Reader in History, Liverpool University 1947-81; Lecturer in History, University of California, Berkeley 1958-59; Research Fellow, Rhodes University 1981-82; married 1958 Constance Rosevear (two sons); died Bodmin, Cornwall 22 May 2004.
In 1953 the book Cornwall in the Age of the Industrial Revolution established John Rowe as a key member of a small group of distinguished scholars - the others being A.L. Rowse and Mary Coate - whose work in the middle decades of the 20th century led to a series of impressive publications covering Cornwall from the end of the medieval period to the Victorian era. As Rowse pointed out in a foreword, the work of these three scholars covered the "significant moments" when Cornwall had "impinged on English history".
The first stage, he remarked, saw the Cornish rebellions of 1497 and 1549 against the process of Tudor centralisation and was addressed in Rowse's Tudor Cornwall in 1941. This followed on Coate's Cornwall in the Great Civil War and Interregnum, 1642-1660 (1933), considering the Duchy's significance for the Royalist cause in the 1640s, and now culminated in Rowe's wide-ranging analysis of Cornwall's particular contribution to the Industrial Revolution.
Rowe's pioneering work was influential at a variety of levels. In a British context it provided a model for regional historical studies. Back in Cornwall his work established the late modern period as the main area of historical research, a theme that is continued to this day by Exeter University's Institute of Cornish Studies.
His reputation was further enhanced in 1958 when he took up a 12-month teaching appointment at the University of California, Berkeley. This was followed by research throughout North America that led eventually to the publication in 1974 of The Hard Rock Men, a study of Cornish mining emigrants and their contribution to American history.
William John Rowe was born in 1915 and brought up on an agricultural smallholding on the edge of Bodmin Moor. Educated initially at Trekieve Steps and Liskeard County School, he won a scholarship in 1935 to read Modern History at Brasenose College, Oxford. After military service with the Royal Ordnance Corps, in 1947 he became a lecturer on American and British Imperial History at Liverpool University. Retiring from Liverpool as Reader in 1981, Rowe was awarded the Hugh Le May Fellowship at Rhodes University in South Africa and spent a year researching the history of the Great Trek.
On his return he moved back to Cornwall. In 1956 Rowe had married Constance Rosevear at Bridges Methodist Chapel, Luxulyan, and they decided to establish their retirement home at Rock Mill, Constance's birthplace, in the nearby Luxulyan Valley.
Rowe had always taken a keen interest in the cultural life of Cornwall and in 1950 this was recognised by his installation as a bard of the Cornish Gorseth. Retirement enabled him to play an even greater role in Cornish affairs, as President of the Federation of Old Cornwall Societies, president of the Cornwall branch of the Historical Association, trustee of the Cornwall Heritage Trust and council member of the Royal Institution of Cornwall.
He continued, too, to play an active role as a writer and historian. In 1996 he produced another classic publication, Changing Times and Fortunes: a Cornish farmer's life 1828-1904, tracing the life story of a Cornish farmer within the context of social and economic change. Once again this book reflected his ability to take a subject relating to Cornwall and then interpret his findings to a wider international audience. In 1998 he became a source of inspiration and encouragement to a younger generation of scholars as President of the Cornish History Network.
Central to John Rowe's reputation as an historian was the fact that he did so much to advance the cause of the indigenous researcher. As a practising Methodist, son of a farmer and a global academic traveller he was part of the culture that he wrote about. Friendly, unassuming, he was a distinguished cultural ambassador for his beloved Cornwall.

When Aaron Swartz took his own life with the approach of trumped up legal proceedings of evidence poised to threaten his freedom, he became a national symbol of two notorious failings of our legal system: federal prosecutors who, with an eye on their conviction scorecard, overcharge cases and bully defendants into submission; and the enforcement of proprietary computer terms-of-service agreements as if they were the republic’s first line of defense against mass sedition.
But the Swartz case brought home a third failing: the abject capitulation of MIT to the dictates of the U.S. attorney’s office. In 2011, Swartz used MIT’s computer system to access the proprietary academic-research site JSTOR, and thereby briefly liberated more than 4 million journal articles from behind the site’s paywall. MIT administrators meekly permitted federal prosecutors access to Swartz and his computer, without benefit of a search warrant. And after JSTOR declined to press charges in Swartz’s low-stakes hacking case, MIT chose to remain a complainant in the take-no-prisoners prosecution mounted by U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz, who multiplied the counts against Swartz until he was looking at as many as 50 years in federal prison.
MIT’s role is puzzling given its long history as one of the nation’s chief progenitors of hacker culture. It allowed Richard Stallman, the programmer who essentially founded the free software movement, to use an office on campus as his operating base (and at times, reportedly, as his home). As the Swartz case demonstrates, universities that were once deemed preserves of cultural dissent and nonconformity, these days reflexively knuckle under to the powerful enforcing — and funding arms of the federal government.
“This seems to be another piece of evidence that we in major universities look toward Washington before we make a decision about, say, some young oddball who’s hooked his computer to our wiring,” says Harry Lewis, a Harvard computer science professor who was also Harvard’s undergraduate dean from 1995 to 2003. “We have so many entanglements: Pell grants, research funding, undocumented students we have on our campuses,” says Lewis. “So we’re always looking over our shoulder.”
To see how deep-seated this trend is, one need only look across town, to Boston College, where from 2001 to 2006 Irish historian Ed Moloney directed an oral history project, collecting interviews with former members of the Irish Republican Army about the group’s past terrorism campaigns. Guarantees of confidentiality were central to the project, for obvious reasons. But in 2011, Northern Ireland prosecutors issued subpoenas for Moloney’s interviews — subpoenas that the Department of Justice summarily dropped on BC.
BC did hire lawyers to fight the subpoenas (after Moloney leaked the story to the New York Times), but rather than defend academic freedom, the college pursued a narrower stay on the release of some of the interviews. This left Moloney and his collaborators to file their own broader appeal to the Supreme Court, which will hear arguments later this year.
Says Moloney: “When we sought amici briefs for our SCOTUS case we had no difficulties attracting journalistic and media organizations … but U.S. academe ran screaming for the shadows.” And in late January, the BC case took its own eerie Swartz-like turn: Dolours Price, the former IRA member in Moloney’s project whose participation originally roused the interest of Irish authorities, had died of an apparent drug overdose.
Laid side by side, these two Boston-area cases point to eerily similar trends: Inquisitorial federal prosecutors, operating under loose interpretations of the mandate to combat terrorism, are prepared to run roughshod over protocols that protect the traditions of academic autonomy and free inquiry — while university administrators, eager to kowtow to their federal paymasters, become surrogate enforcers rather than principled defenders of academic freedom.
Aaron Swartz’s legacy might well produce important gains in the struggle to expand the free play of information into a significantly enlarged public sphere. But in institutional terms, the cases of MIT and Boston College suggest the struggle has already been fought — and lost.

Because it’s there. You don’t necessarily need to see it to know it’s there—the highest mountain in Africa —Mount Kilimanjaro.
In early September, Washington’s Lt. Gov. Cyrus Habib summited the 19,341 feet Uhuru Peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. The climb was a fundraiser launch for Boundless Washington, a new outdoor leadership program for youth with disabilities. Habib’s office and the Association of Washington Generals (AWG), a service organization comprised of distinguished Washingtonians, partnered to create the program, offering students six outdoor expeditions throughout the state each year.
“It was an amazing experience,” Habib said of his climb. “It was really difficult…but an amazing experience.”
Every year, over 50,000 trekkers attempt to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. Only 65 percent of them ever reach the top.
Habib prepared himself physically by doing more day hikes and walking on the treadmill on maximum incline. He said the route to Uhuru Peak wasn’t technical, but it did get quite cold. He didn’t need to learn to use an ice axe or crampons. There were sections of scrambling, but it’s not icy; trekkers needn’t be roped-up.
Habib traveled to Africa with Kristina Brown, executive director of his office. Several others from the AWG also joined the six-day trek. Both Habib and Brown used personal funds for the trip.
“I ended up getting bronchitis. It started with a cold the second day on the mountain,” Habib said. “I tried antibiotics. I tried cold medicine, but it wasn’t getting better.”
Up until reaching 17,000 feet, Habib had no trouble with the high altitude. It was a different story beyond that. The combination of bronchitis, low-oxygen, and the lack of sleep made the last few hours of the summit “absolutely miserable” for Habib.
“My heart was just racing so fast.”
“It started out like every 10 minutes, I would need to stop to catch my breath. Then it was every 5 minutes…then every two minutes,” Habib recalled. “When it got very close to the summit, it was like…every 15 steps I would need to stop.”
“I just became concerned. You know, like am I going to have a heart attack? What’s going to happen here…”
“In my mind, I sensed that I’ve told everybody that I was doing this. I would be so humiliated if I don’t make it,” Habib said. Pride and vanity got to him.
“I just kept pushing.”
And he didn’t want pity.
What Habib wanted was to share experiences of people challenging and pushing themselves to overcome obstacles as motivation for youth with disabilities.
“It excites me to be able to use these experiences to get them to see their full potential, not just in the outdoors, but in academics or in their professional and personal lives,” Habib said.
He downplayed his own climb, his job as Lieutenant Governor, or any of his achievements. Instead, Habib turned the attention to Erik Weihenmayer, an author, a world-class athlete, and the first blind person to summit Mount Everest. Weihenmayer was also the first blind mountaineer to complete the Seven Summits—the seven highest mountains in the seven continents.
Habib credited Weihenmayer, co-founder of Colorado-based No Barriers, for inspiring him. No Barriers, with a motto “What’s Within You is Stronger than What’s in Your Way,” is another partner of Boundless Washington.
Prior to Habib’s climb, Weihenmayer spent a day with Habib while visiting Washington state. The two hiked Mount Si together, with Weihenmayer giving Habib pointers in using the trekking poles and tips on scaling the mountain.
“Here’s this guy who didn’t just climb ‘Tiger Mountain,’ which might seem challenging enough to others because he’s blind. He climbed Everest!” Habib said of Weihenmayer. “It sent a message to me.”
He continued, “Never let other people or society’s assumption dictate what you think you can do. Always have to have those dreams. And there’ll be obstacles in life. You have to respect the challenge!”
Boundless Washington will be announcing its participant-selection process in the coming weeks. The outreach is of utmost importance since the disability community is diverse and scattered throughout the state. Habib hopes to use the schools as a channel to promote this program. Parental fear will need to be alleviated, freeing the students to take risks and have fun in a safe environment.
“We are creating future leaders and strong advocates for the disability community. We are also showing all communities what is possible,” Habib said.
Habib inspires others to climb their mountains, not because he’s the Lieutenant Governor, nor because he’s blind. It’s because he is a boundless, passionate human being.

It's been two years since the Gipsy Kings' masterpiece Roots, an album where they kissed big, extravagant production, as well as big drums and keyboards, goodbye. Apparently old habits are hard to break. On the cover of 2007's Pasajero, the Kings look back to the natural thang. They are posed on a picnic table in the middle of some wild grass and trees, playing together, laughing, and singing. Covers can be deceiving, and this is one of them. Pasajero is a big return to glossy sound, extravagant production, big drums, dub bass, and electronic programming and percussion.
Gipsy Kings is the third album by the French Rumba Catalana band Gipsy Kings, which was released in 1987. The album was their first to reach a worldwide audience, going gold across France, the UK, USA and other countries. The Japanese version released in 1995 includes an alternate version of "Vamos A Bailar" from their latest albums
Si Tu Me Quieres, 03:11.
Gipsy Kings – Pasajero. Label: Sony BMG Music Entertainment – 8 287 689 184 2. Format: CD, Album.
The Gipsy Kings are a group of flamenco, salsa and pop musicians from Arles and Montpellier in the south of France, who perform in Andalusian Spanish. Although group members were born in France, their parents were mostly gitanos, Spanish gypsies who fled Catalonia during the 1930s Spanish Civil War. They are known for bringing Catalan rumba, a pop-oriented music distantly derived from traditional flamenco music, to worldwide audiences. The group originally called itself Los Reyes.

The 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe PPV is the first vehicle in its class able to minimize potential crash speeds or help avoid accidents all together.
Aside from the active safety tech, the Tahoe PPV (Police Pursuit Vehicle) also comes with a wide array of safety enhancing features as standard, such as ESC or a Rear Vision Camera with Rear Park Assist.
"We want to protect our protectors and help them get home safely at the end of every shift," said GM exec, Ed Peper. "The safety technologies we are introducing on the Tahoe PPV may serve as a second set of eyes."
The new tech is part of Chevrolet's Enhanced Driver Assist Package, which features Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Safety Alert Driver Seat and Power Adjustable Pedals.
The Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking feature has never been offered on a pursuit-rated vehicle before. It works by applying the brakes automatically to help reduce the severity of a crash, as long as the vehicle is traveling at a low speed and the driver hasn't already applied the brakes.
Meanwhile, the GM-patented Safety Alert Seat system can alert the driver through haptic seat-bottom vibration pulses, instead of the usual audible crash avoidance alerts.
"When they're on road patrol, police officers are constantly multitasking," said Royal Oak PD retired chief, Theodore Quisenberry. "Now when officers are scanning their surroundings, so is their vehicle. That will help them stay safe."

It’s been an unfamiliar winter for Dave Dombrowski.
Since the White Sox hired him in 1978, Dombrowski’s life had been governed by the rhythms of the baseball schedule: The GM Meetings, the Winter Meetings, the daily 6 a.m. wakeup/work out/head-to-work pattern followed by days spent in a front office and nights spent anticipating phone calls from agents and other executives about potential deals.
Now, Dombrowski’s winter days aren’t regulated by those forces. While he’s remained busy since his firing as Red Sox president of baseball operations in early September — traveling on the majority of weekends, remaining attuned to the transactions of the baseball offseason, connecting with members of the baseball community by phone — the dynamic is different.
For the first time in more than four decades, Dombrowski isn’t spending the winter working on roster-building. Even as he takes advantage of his freedom — looking forward, for instance, to a two-week trip to South Africa with his family during which he won’t have to worry about peeling off for contract negotiations — he still acknowledges the uncharted terrain he’s exploring.
“There’s a significant difference, of course. It’s a whole different type of feeling,” Dombrowski said. “It’s been nice to spend the time with the family and enjoy the time, but I also miss the baseball part because I’ve done it my whole life.”
During the GM Meetings, a number of Dombrowski’s colleagues reached out to note how odd it was not to see him at the annual gathering of executives. None of the 30 heads of baseball operations had ever attended the gathering without Dombrowski being a part of them. “I heard from quite a few general managers at that time from other clubs saying, ‘Gee, it’s strange you’re not here,’ ” he noted.
Dombrowski did spend time in San Diego during the Winter Meetings this month, where he was one of 16 members on the Modern Baseball Committee that elected longtime union head Marvin Miller and catcher Ted Simmons to the Hall of Fame. Yet that was the extent of his involvement, in part because Dombrowski decided not to pursue a front-office advisory or assistant role this year.
“[Being an assistant or adviser] is sort of an awkward scenario in some ways, because I’m still looking to go back into being in a general manager’s job,” he said. “To sit there and be a consultant, some people may view it as you’re sitting over their heads — which would not be the case, but I understand [why it might seem that way]. I think I would look more into that if something doesn’t work out as far as being a general manager, I think I would look more into that in the future, but not this year. For me, it’s not the right feeling of that situation.”
Still, being in San Diego gave Dombrowski a close-enough vantage to feel the shifting energy in the industry, as a free agent market that had felt dormant in recent winters roared to life.
Though he declined to discuss how the record signings for Stephen Strasburg and Gerrit Cole reflected on his specific decisions related to his tenure with the Red Sox, particularly his investments last winter in Chris Sale and Nathan Eovaldi, Dombrowski seemed unsurprised to see explosive spending in the starting pitching market. After all, recent World Series have been won by rotations built around a willingness to accept the risks inherent in huge deals for starting pitchers such as Max Scherzer and Strasburg (Nationals, 2019), David Price and Sale (Red Sox, 2018), Justin Verlander (Astros, 2017), and Jon Lester (Cubs, 2016). Great starters have been a staple of champions, a necessary if uneasy area of investment.
“I have nothing against openers and all that. I understand that’s how the game is going and it makes financial sense for some organizations. But normally, if you win a championship, you have good starting pitching. Most clubs realize that,” said Dombrowski. “Unfortunately, there’s just not much of it. It’s supply and demand. That’s what raises prices. You’ve seen it this year.
“Everybody knows the risk attached to signing pitchers to long-term contracts — even young pitchers. Everyone has to make their own determination on what type of tradeoff they want to make on risk vs. dollars spent,” he added. “I’ve always been in a position where I think strong starting pitching wins . . . [In Boston] we did the same thing. It’s been my philosophy. And usually, I’d like to say it’s worked out pretty well. You do have blips where, unfortunately, things happen. Even the best of the best sometimes have a down year . . . It’s a risk you take, but I don’t know that you win without taking those risks.”
Dombrowski will watch from afar to see how the bet plays for the Red Sox in 2020. But while Dombrowski is feeling his way through his post-Sox life, he remains grateful for his time in Boston. “Overall, when you look at it, obviously it’s been a privilege to work for the Boston Red Sox as a baseball operations president, be in a position where you get a chance to get to go to Fenway Park, get a chance to be in a stadium that’s filled, with fans who are great, a lot of great players, the people in the organization,” said Dombrowski. “You think about that. It didn’t end the way I wanted it to by any means, but it was a privilege to have it happen.”
Bloom: upside with Peraza, Perez
The Red Sox have now made official their first two signings of the winter in second baseman/utility option Jose Peraza and lefthanded starter Martin Perez. Chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said that the Sox were drawn to “really interesting upside” in the two players.
In his 2016 rookie season with the Reds, Peraza looked like a dynamic, versatile player who hit .324/.352/.411 with 21 steals in 72 games. He’s since sandwiched one solid year (2018) with two seasons of struggle (2017 and 2019), resulting in Cincinnati’s decision to non-tender him and make Peraza a free agent this winter. But at $3 million, the Sox view Peraza as a solid bet for a rebound entering his age-26 season.
“We added a guy who has shown at times in the major leagues a lot of prowess with the bat,” said Bloom. “He’s a very good athlete and defender who’s versatile. We have a lot of optimism that, especially given his youth, he has a good chance to bounce back offensively.”
While Perez had an unimpressive 5.12 ERA for the Twins in 32 starts last season, there was promise beneath that surface. After leaning for most of his career on a two-seam fastball, he unveiled a cutter that helped him forge a career-high 7.3 strikeouts per nine innings while eliciting a lot of bad contact. He gave up the fourth-lowest average exit velocity (85.4 m.p.h.) of any starter last season. While he lacks a dominant swing-and-miss weapon, Perez showed pitches that can be mixed to limit damage — particularly if he enjoys better luck than he experienced in 2019.
“His stuff took a step forward last year. We think there’s still more to come in terms of translating that into results. His approach, especially against righthanded hitters, we think we can help him there,” said Bloom. “Any time a pitcher adds a new weapon, it may click immediately, but sometimes it might not. We look at [the cutter] and see a lot of promise, especially when executed well.”
Twins manager Rocco Baldelli spoke highly of the contributions Perez made on and off the field, and of the progress he made toward becoming, perhaps, an even more effective pitcher moving forward.
“He was a great member of our team on the field and in the clubhouse. He’s very open-minded and came in wanting to contribute — wanting to work with the staff, work toward making adjustments to better himself,” said Baldelli. “I think he redefined himself in some ways. I think he proved to himself that he can do other things out on the mound. He can manipulate the ball and do things that he previously didn’t. I think he grew a lot.”
ON THE BACK BURNER?
Dodgers could shift back to Betts
While USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported that the Red Sox and Dodgers were talking about Mookie Betts, major league sources suggested early in the week that there had been little contact between the sides — at least through the Winter Meetings — about the Red Sox superstar. The Dodgers appear more focused on trying to make a deal for Cleveland shortstop Francisco Lindor.
That said, if the Dodgers prove unable to land Lindor, their track record suggests an organization that is unafraid to use trade capital to acquire players such as Betts who are nearing free agency. LA landed Yu Darvish at the trade deadline in 2017 and Manny Machado for five prospects at the 2018 deadline, including a top-100 prospect (outfielder Yusniel Diaz).
Betts would be more valuable, both because he is a better player than Darvish or Machado and because he would be under team control for a full year — giving him a greater chance to make an impact and giving an acquiring team a chance to give him a qualifying offer after the season, entitling the team to draft-pick compensation should he leave.
“You obviously see the reports out there,” said Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom. “He’s one of the best players in baseball, someone we’d love to have in our uniform for a long time, but we’re also not doing our job if we’re not open to possibilities that can help the organization. That remains our stance, recognizing that when you have a player of this quality, there’s going to be a lot of chatter surrounding him. Nothing has changed as far as how highly we value him and how hopeful we are that he’s going to be here.”
■ The Sox remain in an exploratory phase in the trade market, taking their time while letting free agents come off the board and trying to find the best mix of moves to balance the team’s short- and long-term interests. “I still think it’s difficult to handicap an if or when on moves on the trade front,” said Bloom. “We continue to have a lot of conversations and to sort through what’s real and what’s not to find the best possibilities for our organization.”
■ The team’s preference when it comes to moving contracts to get under the luxury tax threshold clearly seems to be a trade of a starting pitcher, but there are enough blemishes on their starters that some feel they’ll be difficult to move in anything but a salary dump.
“It’s not like the Red Sox are going to get quality prospects back in addition to trading David Price or Chris Sale. That’s not how this works,” said one AL evaluator. “You’re trading for a guy and paying a ton of money. [The Red Sox] are not getting players back. It almost goes the other way. Maybe you should be getting players back [to take the pitchers].”
Caveat: While that view might be reflective of industry consensus, trades aren’t made by industry consensus. It only takes one potential trading partner to value a Red Sox pitcher more highly to consummate a deal on more favorable (or at least less unfavorable) terms.
■ Laz Gutierrez, a Red Sox scout, pitching coach, and mental skills coach for more than a decade, has accepted a job as the head baseball coach at Nova Southeastern University, the Division 2 school that J.D. Martinez attended. Gutierrez already had been looking to spend more time at his South Florida home, resulting in the decision by the Sox to hire Rey Fuentes as the big league team’s mental skills coach earlier this winter.
■ The Red Sox have hired Dante Ricciardi as an amateur scout covering North Florida. The Worcester Academy and Bryant College alum is the son of former Blue Jays GM and current Giants executive J.P. Ricciardi.
Changing climate to the offseason
At the GM Meetings in November, agent Scott Boras described the game as in a state of “competitive hibernation.” That description seemed apt in light of widespread tanking, which yielded seven 100-loss teams in 2018-19 — matching the total from the prior seven seasons.
But this year’s offseason market has seemingly represented an industry awakening. The Yankees’ deal for Gerrit Cole (nine years, $324 million) is the winter headliner, but the aggressiveness of teams such as the Angels, Nationals, Rangers, Phillies, Reds, White Sox, and Twins represents a changed landscape with more aggressive bidding, resulting in bigger contracts and vastly increased activity.
“Some rebuilds take years, but at some point owners and fans want to see wins,” said one AL evaluator. “We didn’t have that in the last couple years. We had teams rebuilding, teams with new general managers trying to build infrastructure. Right now, a lot of different teams feel like the time is now.”
In 2018, the Red Sox won the World Series with a payroll (as calculated for luxury tax purposes) of a little less than $240 million — the most expensive champion in history. This year, the team had a payroll of a little less than $244 million, the second-most expensive team ever to miss the playoffs, behind only the 2013 Yankees . . . Since 2003, there have been 42 teams (including the 2018 and 2019 Red Sox) that received a luxury tax bill at the end of the year. Of those, 16 missed the playoffs . . . The 81st annual Boston Baseball Writers dinner will take place on Jan. 16 at the Seaport Hotel. Confirmed head-table attendees of the event — a longstanding staple of the Hot Stove season — include Fuchs Award winner Jerry Remy, Alex Cora, Chaim Bloom, Rafael Devers, Michael Chavis, Marcus Walden, Rich Hill, and Nationals GM Mike Rizzo, with more attendees anticipated. Nick Cafardo’s election as the Spink Award winner will be celebrated. Tickets are available through sportsmuseum.org . . . Happy 30th birthday, Noe Ramirez. The righthander, part of the franchise-changing 2011 Red Sox draft that included Mookie Betts, Matt Barnes, and Jackie Bradley Jr., has carved out a nice career as an opener and reliever for the Angels, appearing in 163 career games. Playing in Anaheim has also allowed Ramirez to be active in his hometown community. He received the key to the city of Alhambra in recognition of his charitable efforts . . . And happy birthday to Hanley Ramirez, who turns 36 on Monday. After undergoing right shoulder surgery this summer following a struggle in the big leagues this past season with Cleveland (.184/.298/.327), he’s playing for Licey in the Dominican Winter League while hoping to get another shot to play in 2020.
Best wishes to Globe alums Chris and Kelsie Snow, who revealed that Chris — now an assistant GM for the Calgary Flames in the continuation of a hockey career that followed his extraordinary work as a Red Sox beat writer for the Globe in 2005-06 — has been diagnosed with ALS. Chris is taking part in a clinical trial that offers hope that the progression of the disease can be arrested. And best wishes also go to Red Sox president/CEO emeritus and PawSox chairman of the board Larry Lucchino, who is recovering at home following surgery to remove a contained cancerous blockage in the kidney area. In a statement, Lucchino said he expects to be back at work at the start of the new year.

Everything went wrong for me today. So many mishaps have scrambled up my life in the last 24 hours that when I spilled red wine on my brand new rug a few minutes ago, I just laughed and then kept right on laughing when my bowl of soup — that was meant to be eaten with rice but I had none cause I burned it TWICE — went cascading down the front of my favorite dress. Add to that a cracked phone screen, waking up to no internet service, and my brand new memory card malfunctioning and you’ve got my no good, very bad day in a nutshell.
Given all these issues, I was looking very forward to getting in the kitchen and baking the stress away but, of course, as soon as I started assembling my ingredients I realized I’d forgotten to buy eggs and had to head to the store at rush hour. When I finally got back home the last thing I wanted to do was bake. I was totally defeated from the day but I dragged myself into the kitchen, put on my Motown playlist, and started making cornbread. The minute I started weighing out ingredients and whisking to the beat of “I Want You Back” by the Jackson 5 the curse of the day started to lift. I forgot all the stress and frustration of the events that delayed my date with the oven and finally started to feel happy and at ease.
It’s amazing what baking can do for a bad day, especially when there’s something as tantalizing as blueberry skillet cornbread waiting at the finish line. No curse is strong enough to touch the joy that cornbread brings, especially this one. Dotted with berries, rich with butter, and a soft but substantial buttermilk laden crumb, this is the kind of cornbread that’ll have you smiling and licking your fingers on the way to grab another piece. I love the way the butter soaks into the edges of the bread and gets them all crispy and sexy in the oven. Swoon. And the berries! They blend so deliciously with the mildly sweet cornmeal. Eating this cornbread is a really wonderful experience. It’s comforting, warm, and just sweet enough to turn around a terrible day.
1 1/4 cup (150g) cornmeal (I used white, but yellow works too!)
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1- 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
6 tbs unsalted butter
1. Place skillet in the oven and preheat to 400° F.
2. Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and stir. Next, in a smaller bowl whisk together the sugar, eggs, and buttermilk then combine the wet ingredients with the dry. Lastly, fold in the blueberries! If you use frozen berries they’ll stain the batter which I don’t mind but some people do so. If that’s you, opt for fresh here.
3. Remove the hot skillet from the oven and melt the butter inside. You may need to place it back into the oven for a bit to fully melt the butter. Next, pour the batter into the skillet and spread around to the edges of the pan. Some of the butter will run on top of the batter and that’s absolutely deliciously okay.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes then remove skillet from the oven and set on the stovetop to cool for at least 10 minutes. You can serve it from the skillet.
Or transfer to a cutting board (place the board on top of the skillet and flip it out while wearing oven mitts) and slice.
5. Either way I highly suggest finishing it off with a nice drizzle of honey. You deserve the extra sweetness.

Today I'd like to share a fun unbirthday treat set I created. With the recently released Wonderland stamp sets from Jaded Blossom and the Alice in Wonderland files from Marjorie Ann Designs this was a perfect pairing.
To create the coffee treat holder I used these cute little 4oz coffee cups and matching lids that I purchased here. The templates for the cup wrappers can be printed from here.
To cover the lid I cut 2" circles using the Cricut cartridge George, but obviously anything that cuts a 2" circle will work.
For the carrier use a sturdy piece of 12" x 12" paper.
- Cut one piece 4" x 6 3/4" Score all 4 sides at 1"
- Cut along two opposite sides of the score lines up to where they intersect and then snip the corners diagonally.
- Now assemble the box.
- To add more stability cut a piece of chipboard 2" x 4 1/2" and set aside
To create the handle, using that same 12" x 12" paper:
- Cut a 1 7/8" x 11" piece. Score at 1 1/2", 5 1/2" and 9 1/2"
- Fold in half and glue together down to the score lines for the 'flaps'
- Use an oval or circle punch to make a hole for carrying
- Set aside
Use remaining paper to cover the piece of chipboard you cut. Glue the chipboard to the bottom of the box. Then glue the handle to the piece of chipboard.
For the potion bottle tag, I used a scalloped circle frame from the Cricut Cartridge Wild Card. I hide the interior circle contour and then cut the size needed to fig the potion. The potion bottle, cupcake and the two print n cut images on the top of the cups are all from the Alice in Wonderland file from Marjorie Ann Designs.
My card was made using the same cut file. To add a bit of shimmer to the card I cut the crown from a gold metallic paper. I also decided to use some glossy accents on the whites of the eyes and the heart on the lips.

(The following statement was released by the rating agency)
Jan 15 - Fitch Ratings has affirmed South Africa-based Industrial Development Corporation’s (IDC) National Long-term rating at ‘AA(zaf)’ and Short-term rating at ‘F1+(zaf)'. The Outlook is Stable.
As IDC is only rated on the national scale, its ratings were not affected by the downgrade of South Africa’s Long-tern foreign currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to ‘BBB’ from ‘BBB+’ and Long-term local currency IDR to ‘BBB+’ from ‘A’ on 10 January 2013 (see ‘Fitch Downgrades South Africa to ‘BBB’, Outlook Stable’ available atwww.fitchratings.com).
The main factors that could lead to a negative rating action are:
- dilution of government oversight
- dilution of government support if there were material deterioration of IDC’s asset classes.
The main factor that could lead to positive rating action is:
- more formalized support from the government, such as an explicit guarantee on all financial liabilities.
IDC is a self-supporting development financial institution whose mandate is to support and develop industrial capacity and promote job creation in South Africa.

One bowl of water a day clearly isn’t enough…is it? Two? Three? Would four be too much? How do we know for sure? Many kitty parents don’t know to be honest and too embarrassed to ask but here at SoPurrfect, we’re facing these kind of questions head on so you get your answers without the shame.
How much water does my cat need?
Ideally, it would largely depend on the weight of your cat. Daily water consumption would range between 44 to 60 mL of water per kilogram of your cat’s body weight or 0.067 oz.-1 oz. of water to a pound of weight. However, your cat’s drinking requirements would be affected by the kind of diet it has, how much physical activity it gets, and other factors that would impact their health.
Canned food has a greater amount of water (78%) than dry food (10%). A cat on a dry food diet would need a higher intake of water than one eating mostly cat food.
What are the signs that my cat drinks enough water?
While we can’t measure exactly how much our cats should drink, we can observe obvious physical signs that correlate to having enough water. These are:
- Good skin elasticity
The skin should be able to stretch and snap back to its original shape without a problem. You can test this on the skin on the base of your cat’s nape.
Cats love their sleep and take several hours more than a human being but when they’re wide awake, take notice if they seem lethargic. Test with playtime to see how your cat is feeling.
- Shiny fur coat
The absence of dry flakes and sheen are good signs of hydration.
- Urinates 2-3 times a day
Another clear indication of their liquid intake is the number of times they excrete it.
How can I get my cat to drink more water?
Placing water right in front of your cat isn’t always enough to make the cat want to drink. In fact, they might not want to at all. If you’re worried about your cat’s health because they don’t drink clean water enough, try these tricks.
- Add a little more water on your cat’s pet food but only if it’s canned. Remember that canned food is mostly water? You can keep it to a minimum by sprinkling if you think your cat might not want it too watery. Mixing water with dry food would spoil it.
- Get an automatic water fountain for your pet. There’s a theory that cats probably associate running water with clean water. Stagnant water in nature is often filled with bacteria which is why they’d prefer drinking from the toilet or faucet than water in a bowl. If it’s untrue, well, cats are clearly fond of moving water anyway even if they don’t like bathing in it and are more likely to drink that.
- Switch to glass bowls or steel. Plastic can affect the taste of water, making it unappealing to cats. Even people don’t like it.
- Dump out yesterday’s water, whether it was last night’s or not. Keep it clean, keep it fresh.
- In the summer, rinse the water bowl more often. The heat makes it bacteria multiply faster. Throw out the water and clean the bowl to avoid this.
- Use filtered water. Cats can tell between soft water (filtered or distilled) and hard water (mineral or tap). Felines dislike the high concentration of mineral salts.

It was once called “The Second Niagara” — a swirling cataract where the Ottawa River plunged 15 metres over a series of limestone ledges with a roar that, explorer Samuel de Champlain wrote in 1613, could be heard “two leagues away” (roughly 10 kilometres.)
“The water falls … with such impetuosity on a rock that with the passage of time, it has hallowed out a wide, deep basin … the water whirls about to such an extent, and in the middle boils so vigorously, that Indians call it Asticou, that is to say, a kettle,” Champlain wrote in his journal.

You’ll need your imagination to picture the Chaudière Falls as they were before the river was harnessed by a hydroelectric dam and especially during a summer drought that has reduced the flow to a fraction.
However, a viewing point on the west end of Chadiére Island gives visitors a view of the falls that was blocked for more than a century by industrial development. First previewed last summer during the Canada 150 commemoration, the viewpoint was built in partnership between the National Capital Commission, the Zibi development and Hydro Ottawa, which operates the hydroelectric plant on the falls.
The great, 400-metre arc of the ring dam was built between 1907 and 1909. There are 50 spans in the dam and operators add or remove wooden timbers to control the river’s flow through the complex. Only once have all 50 spans been opened wide: during the record flooding along the Ottawa River in April and May 2017.
“The NCC has sought for decades to create public access to Chaudière Falls, which were once the great wonder of the region,” NCC CEO Mark Kristmanson said. “People would visit Chaudière Falls like they would visit Niagara.”
Although the viewing platform is open to the public, access isn’t obvious. You can get there from Albert Island, but the best way is from Chaudière Island, just at the south side of the Chaudière Bridge. There is no car parking, so you’ll need to park on the Ontario or Quebec side and walk onto the island. Biking would be easier.
Eventually, direct access will be added from the Ontario side near the Canadian War Museum and via the Zibi commercial-residential development.
“There’s still connections to be made through the Zibi lands,” Kristmanson said. “These agreements are complex they take some time. It’s now on the horizon to have full public access. It will be quite a beautiful addition to this area. With the Zibi development coming along … this whole sector of the city will be an amazing place.”
Correction: The Chaudière Falls lookout is on Chaudière Island. An earlier version of this story contained incorrect information.

Ten years after their debut Well Well Well, which saw them revive Sheffield’s music scene alongside Arctic Monkeys, Milburn are back with their latest single ‘Take Me Home’.
With incredibly driven verses and infectious hooks, ‘Take Me Home’ sees Milburn slot perfectly in with the likes of Blossoms, whilst maintaining a sound that’s swimming with nostalgia. Milburn aren’t stuck in their ways, but they certainly aren’t bowing down to any pressures or trends either.
With a new album in the works, we caught up with Milburn to find out more about their return…
Hi Milburn, welcome to Gigslutz! How did you all initially meet and start playing music together?
As teenagers we all used to play for the same football team. A full season lasts from Autumn to Spring, so we found ourselves, like most kids, with plenty of time in the Summer and nothing much to do. Forming a band seemed like a good way to pass the time.
You’ve been away for quite a while now, what prompted the decision to return with a new single?
The ‘fans, maaan’. Everyday I’d get a message on social media from someone new asking the band to reform. There was a lot of love out there, particularly in the North. We thought it’d be interesting to see how much, if anything, had changed since we last made music together.
We’re loving the new single ‘Take Me Home’ – what’s it all about?
Thanks. Like many artists from our neck of the woods we prefer just to play our music and keep ourselves to ourselves. Often in this industry, however, you’re made to talk to people that you’d rather not. The word ‘networking’ makes me feel nauseous, but it comes with the territory. The song is about that whole side of things.
I’ve heard there’s also a new album on its way, recorded with the acclaimed Bill Ryder Jones – how was the experience of working with him?
Great. Bill seemed to understand the dynamics within the band straight away and acted almost as a fifth member/big brother. Coming off the back of eight years apart, it was always unknown as to whether we’d be able to make music together again. We all respected him as an artist before meeting him which helped him to captain the ship. I honestly don’t think we could or would have made this record with anyone else.
Having been a major part of the Sheffield scene in the noughties, how would you compare the music scene up there now to what it used to be?
Honestly, I don’t really know an awful lot about it. It’s kind of a wilfull ignorance because I think the young’uns have to create their own scene without much help of the thirty somethings. A sort of tough love. Yeah, we knew who Pulp were when we first started making music, but we didn’t really want to sound anything like them and we didn’t really need their help. That attitude helped to spawn what the city’s scene became in the ’00s.
And how would you say the music scene’s changed generally in the last decade? Do you feel it’s harder for new bands to make a name for themselves these days?
It’s a bit of a double-edged sword. The abundance of music undoubtedly makes it harder to ‘get noticed’, and the general shift away from guitar music – in terms of the mainstream media – means that not as many kids are doing it the way we did. However, the social media revolution has created a real independent spirit. No longer do bands have to rely on sycophantic A&R interns to pass their music up the chain, or take a kicking from the journalist who never could figure out how to play ‘Stairway To Heaven’. More often than not, ‘the middle man’ is being removed. That’s not to say these tossers don’t still exist, it just that they’re less influential.
You’ve played lots of big gigs over the years, but is there one that stands out as a career highlight?
We ventured over to Japan a couple of times and were lucky enough to play Fuji Rocks festival. The gig itself was good, but it was more of the realistion that we were on the other side of the world playing music that we’d written in our bedrooms in Sheffield. The big festivals are always fun, but nothing can beat the atmosphere of our headline shows in Sheffield and Manchester. The last ‘Ritz’ gig was special.
As we’re a new music-focused site, are there any new/upcoming bands or artists you’d recommend we check out?
I like the debut by Findlay. It’s called Forgotten Pleasures and has a Lykki Li/Yeah Yeah Yeahs vibe. I know the cat is well and truly out of the bag with this one but Cabbage supported us on a few dates and it was one of the few times that all the band members made an effort to catch their set.
Finally, what are you most looking forward to about the rest of 2017?
We have a new record due for release in September. Most of all, I’m really looking forward to reading a five star review in Gigslutz.
Huge thanks to Milburn for answering our questions!
‘Take Me Home’, the new single from Milburn, is out now.

St. Louis has seen some major names in bloghouse come to town as of late: JFK of MSTRKRFT, Le Castle Vania and Designer Drugs. But this Saturday, you can see one of the most sought-after DJs on the circuit today, Franki Chan. Chan is the founder and mastermind behind the lifestyle brand IHEARTCOMIX, not to mention, he's the guy who knows what you're going to be into before you do.
IHEARTCOMIX was founded in 2003 by Chan, and early on, they developed a reputation for breaking bands and predicting trends, as well as producing some of the most innovative parties around. It wasn't long before Chan decided to form a label under the IHEARTCOMIX moniker. Notables signed to the IHEARTCOMIX label are Matt and Kim, Acid Girls and the Toxic Avenger, among others.
Chan has played alongside some of today's hottest acts, such as Crystal Castles, Diplo and Peaches, he's a respected mixtape artist, and he's played parties for A-listers such as Lindsay Lohan, Christina Ricci and Paris Hilton. We caught up with him over the phone earlier this week at IHEARTCOMIX headquarters in LA. He'll be at the Gramophone this Saturday, May 1, with DJ Clockwork, Drace and DJ Trash Talk. Ladies are $5 all night, and tickets are $5 in advance; dudes are $7 at the door.
What was the impetus behind starting IHEARTCOMIX? The name came from a need to have a name for something that wasn't named after myself. At the end of 2003, I moved from Seattle to Los Angeles, I had kind of graduated from being an intern and working for a rock club there, to kind of starting to do my own parties here. Once I threw a couple things and people started showing up, I figured I should brand it something, and so I named it IHEARTCOMIX, because I like comic books. But when it began it wasn't a business or an idea for it, it was kind of just like a mask. Over time it became obvious that it was growing, whether it was through shows or through us working with different people, artists, djs, bands, and I decided we should take it more seriously, and that's where the idea for the record label came from.
Have comics been a lifelong love of yours? Totally. I'm a big Marvel fan, I'm a big reader of a lot of that universe, like X-Men and Spiderman and The Avengers. Walking Dead, Y: The Last Man, Sandman, Blankets.
What are some of your favorite IHEARTCOMIX productions? I'm really really proud of everything we do in Austin during South By, we've been there for five years now, and we've always managed to do something that was new and big there. I'm proud of the first Matt and Kim album. I really like the last crop of music videos that we made this past year, I feel like we got a good team of directors, and everyone kind of warked with eachother to make this larger than life. We did a weekly party for two years in LA called Check Yo Ponytail!, which was really cool, and left a very strong legacy.
What IHEARTCOMIX projects are you most excited for in 2010? Most of this year, I'm actually taking the time to do my own stuff, it's less of a focus on the label and parties and more on me trying to get my own music done and out, and working on new art and doing some writing. We do have a couple of events coming up, we're going to do something big at ComicCon, and sometime in the fall we're going to do a five- year anniversary party. We're just getting going on a much larger endeavor for January 2011, which is going to be a festival on a cruise ship. Three days. It will be pretty cool.
Tell me a little bit about the music you're doing on your own, I heard you were supposed to have a single out this spring? Yeah. It will probably be summer at this point. I guess it's like dark techno, it's got some minimal elements to it. It doesn't really sound like blog house, or electro or dubstep, it has more of a European feel to it. There's elements of Dutch stuff to it, it's got kind of a Radioclit feel, it's long and dark, sort of like what Jokers of the Scene does. It's definitely a mixture.
Release date? I would say July.
So this is your first St. Louis show, have you heard much about St. Louis or about the music scene here? Not much honestly. I have a couple friends who have played there, and they said it was good, but I don't know too many folks who have played there. Maybe you can tell me.
What are some of the tracks you can't live without right now? There is this Afro Jack song called "Bang Duck," that's really good. There's a new Acid Girls track called "Belgian Elf" which isn't out yet, but it's incredible. Designer Drugs "Drop Down," Dave Nada "Drummer's Rock," and Pablo Calamari and Velicious "Think About You (Playload remix)."
What are some trends you're seeing across the country right now? Well, Dubstep is going through some big heyday, everyone seems to want that everywhere, all the time. I've been seeing lots of oversize tank tops. It seems like people are drinking a lot of Vita Coco, I'm drinking some right now. it's like coconut water in a box. It's delicious. It's better for you than, say like, Gatorade, it's the same kind of thing. Dutch House stuff is pretty big. It's kind of, I guess like, minimal-esque beats with pingy noises over it.
Take me through the typical day for a DJ, illustrator, producer extraordinaire. What's a typical day in the life of Franki Chan? Waking up and working in the Iheartcomix office, every day is kind of different, wewe're either working on a record or working on a show or something else. So it's kind of like this group of people trying to accomplish whatever the day's goal is. that will go til around 7ish, and then typically I'll work on music or draw or go out. Emails, phone calls, scanning, talking, joking, Facebooking.
Outside of the stuff you play, what are you listening to right now? I'm listening to a lot of like Goth music, I've been listening to the Romanitcs a bunch, Jawbreaker, newer acts like Sleigh Bells and The Very Best.
What's your go-to song to get people on the dance floor? "King of Africa" by Douster.
Dance-floor killer? There's plenty of those. I don't know, you can just play music that is the opposite of whatever you're playing that's making people dance. Some songs that will work for certain crowds are posion to others.
What can people expect at Saturday's show at The Gramophone? Fun times. Lots of shots, I guess. And dancing.

SEAT PLEASANT, Md. — Seat Pleasant Mayor Eugene W. Grant addressed the recent allegations about the city's police chief Devan Martin as "false and misleading" during a news conference Thursday.
Martin was originally appointed acting chief of police in October of 2016 and then confirmed as chief of police three months later with a unanimous vote from Seat Pleasant City Council. Allegations against Martin claimed that he doctored a test similar to a polygraph for his recertification with the department.
The Computer Voice Stress Analysis, or CVSA, test is designed to determine the truthfulness of a candidate, similar to a polygraph. Martin took the test on Jan. 23, 2019, as is typical with standard police protocol.
Grant said Martin's test results did not come back negative and showed that he answered all questions truthfully. The results were filed in Martin's police certification paperwork, and Grant noted that sheriffs and police chiefs are not required to be certified under Maryland state law. Still, Martin took it anyway and passed.
Grant said that the allegations came from a separate employee who was demoted in August 2018 later for "serious misconduct." The employee came forward with the complaint against Martin to the Maryland Police Training Commission.
One of those former employees made "false and misleading" accusations against Chief Martin about the test, Grant said.
In January, the city and the police department launched an internal investigation following media claims about the legitimacy of the claims against Martin. Based on the information and documentation reviewed, Grant said it was "abundantly clear there was no wrongdoing."
Grant said he and Martin realized there would be "significant challenges" that he would confront when he was initially hired. Grant said those challenges included reforming a police department staff that he said were "seriously troubled and lacked good leadership."
"I can say with complete confidence that Chief Martin and his leadership team have been steadfast in their commitment to curb acts of misconduct, increase transparency, establish a citizen-centric police culture despite the few former employees who have attempted to unsuccessfully thrawt the 21st-century change," he said.

Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured dried leaves of the Camellia Sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to Asia. After water, it is the most widely consumed beverage in the world.
Camellia Sinensis, which grows in tropical and subtropical climates, is a flowering evergreen shrub that produces small white flowers; the leaves and buds are ready to be harvested three years after the shrub is planted. Although Camellia Sinensis bushes can live for more than a hundred years (at Makaibari we have 150 years old plants and we are trying to make them immortal….) harvesting leaves and buds from smaller, younger bushes is easier. Once harvested, the leaves are dried and rolled in preparation for distribution.
The plucked tea leaves at Makaibari are all from the small Camellia Sinensis-China variety. The tea leaves from the Camellia Assamica gives high yields and lower quality, hence Makaibari only focuses on the ultimate in quality by plucking the Sinensis.
The smaller the leaf the better the tea!


ABB cuts ribbon on Swiss energy storage systems factory
Opening ceremony. Image by: ABB (www.abb.com)
ABB (VTX:ABBN) last week officially opened a new manufacturing facility for energy storage systems in Baden, Switzerland, that will supply products for mobility applications.
The new factory will produce batteries for railways, e-busses and trolleybuses, as well as e-trucks, with the first orders already being in place. The Swiss-based power and automation group said on Thursday that several vehicle manufacturers from different countries have ordered energy storage systems.
The location of the new factory was chosen due to its proximity to the ABB Center of Excellence for Traction Converters in Turgi and to the ABB Corporate Research Centre in Dattwil. The storage systems made there use lithium-ion batteries. In the future, the manufacturing facility will make energy storage systems for new trolleybuses in the Swiss cities of Zurich, Lausanne and Fribourg.
The Swiss group noted that many European countries still have non-electrified trains and the integration of energy storage will facilitate the conversion of diesel trainsets into diesel hybrid vehicles, thus lowering carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 30%.

Ethiopian tribes, Hamer woman, whipping
Image by Dietmar Temps
A young Hamer woman is whipped by a Hamer man at a bull jumping ceremony, Lower Omo Valley, Ethiopia. This picture is maybe not for the faint-hearted, but the whipping is a fundamental part of the ceremony, and the Hamer women are very proud of this old tradition.
The bull-jumping ceremony is probably the most important event in a tribal man’s life. Each boy taking part undergoes a number of rituals before leaping down the line of bulls jumping from back to back. If the boy succeeds, he is a man in the eyes of the tribe. If he fails, he is whipped by the women. At the ceremony young female relatives of the boy beg to be whipped by the young Hamer men.

GSN, the Game Show Network, announced Tuesday during its annual Upfront presentation that it has ordered a brand-new game show hosted by and starring comedians, Lie Detectors.
Rove McManus will host, and contestants from the audience will face off against three comedians to determine which of the three is telling the truth about an outrageous fact. Fastest winning audience members will get to play for the big cash prizes.
Consider it a modern-day update and equivalent of To Tell The Truth and parlor games Balderdash and Two Truths and a Lie — only with comedians testing your ability to decipher fact from fiction.
Lie Detectors is produced by Jim Co., and executive-produced by Jim Biederman, Marla Ratner and Tim Fornara. It’s based on an original idea by Tim Fornara of Kobiyoshi (Failosophy).
McManus previously hosted RIOT, an improvised comedy showcase that aired last summer on FOX. He spoke to The Comic’s Comic then about that show and his experience transitioning from Australian talk show host to American comic and game-show host.
