Even though Jamie Foxx is already set to star in a Mike Tyson biographical series with a working title of Finding Mike, there’s now a Hulu series about the iconic boxer’s life arriving soon as well. Moonlight lead actor Trevante Rhodes will fill the gloves of the titular character, while also standing in as executive producer.

Simply titled Iron Mike, the upcoming Hulu series may have an A-List star and big budget streaming company behind it. What it doesn’t have unfortunately is approval from the real Mike Tyson himself.
Variety reports that Tyson, the real one that is, is in no way involved with this project and has even gone on record as calling it “tone-deaf cultural misappropriation.” He is involved with the Jamie Foxx-led project though, which also has Antoine Fuqua and Martin Scorsese attached as executive producers.
It makes a lot of sense why there’s so much interest surrounding the life story of Mike Tyson. From winning his first 19 professional fights by knockout to the details surrounding his tumultuous relationship in the late-80s with actress Robin Givens, there’s a lot of material to work with in telling this man’s life. Tyson may feel left out on the creative control side of the Hulu project, or he just might not want it to conflict with the one he’s personally working on with Jamie Foxx as the lead. Either way he should have a right to his own life story and how it’s told, and we only hope Hulu handles that correctly and with care.
Iron Mike will be released as an eight-episode series on Hulu, with production set to begin later this year. Will you be watching one, both or none of these shows about the controversial-yet-intriguing life of such a polarizing person? Let us know your thoughts!

What Nicole Richie and "The Simple Life" teach us about America and celebrity.
11:00 PM, Jan 15, 2004 • By MATT LABASH
WHENEVER I EXPRESS my penchant for reality television in the circle of snide, knowing, not-as-smart-as-they-think-they-are crosspatches that I'm cursed to call friends, I often do so defensively, as if I am advocating Satan-worshipping or kid-touching. No more. From it's earliest dawn--when MTV's "Real World" debuted in 1992--I have been there for reality television, and it has been there for me.
For those who watch television, it is a pointless exercise to pose as a television snob, for the simple reasons that even the most cerebral shows are generally accessible to the average seventh grader. The traditional narrative television vehicles--the drama, the comedy, the dramedy--have basically exhausted the possibilities with their endless parade of wacky neighbors and poker-faced detectives. While it's occasionally possible to find a refreshing spin on the form (HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm or Fox's "Arrested Development"), the medium has, for the most part, become like three-chord rock'n'roll: the music's still getting made, but most of the good hooks have been taken.
CONSEQUENTLY, when anything slightly different comes along, critics tend to wildly overpraise it. Take HBO's "Sex and the City," a critical darling. I have seen several episodes, and would rather watch puppies get railroad spikes driven through their eyelids, than to be subjected to Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall seeing who can out-blue-streak each other in the forced patter some have called the Vagina Dialogues. It is a show written by gay men who think they know how straight women talk. If straight women actually talked that way, I'd probably become gay, too.
Leaving aside the intrinsic entertainment value of voyeurism, there is nothing in the worst reality TV shows that isn't preferable in nearly every way. What, about the human condition (venality, envy, lasciviousness) can be illuminated by the jabbering yentas on "Sex and the City" that isn't better illuminated on even a dim-bulb reality show, such as "Paradise Hotel?" To do the unthinkable, and draw a parallel to books, I, like most, would say there's no rapture comparable to that provided by a great novel. But I'd rather read a mediocre work of non-fiction to a bad novel any day. At least with the former, its mediocrity is mitigated by the fact that it allows us to experience characters or events as they actually exist. The latter is nothing more than an endurance test inside some stranger's failed imagination.
THAT SAID, reality television, to take a giant leap, tells us much more about where we are as a species than traditional forms of television. The last time I took our cultural temperature, we were shallow, had short attention spans, and worshipped fame over nearly any other attribute. That makes us--en masse--a perfect audience for Fox's "The Simple Life," starring Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie (daughter of singer Lionel)--two spoiled rich-bitch socialites who do a contrived fish-out-of-water turn when they go live with a goober family down on the farm in the Ozarks.
Concluded just this week after an eight-episode run, "The Simple Life" was a ratings smash. Last month, when President George W. Bush did a special interview with Diane Sawyer on the heels of Saddam's capture, he was outdrawn by Paris and Nicole. Before my fellow conservatives start clucking about the end of civilization brought on by our youth, they'd do well to note that the "Green Acres"-rip-off was the favorite even among 25- to 54-year-olds. And Bush himself didn't do much to provide intellectual contrast, when he basically admitted in his interview, not for the first time, that you'd need to pull his eyeteeth to get him to read a newspaper. "The Simple Life" isn't mere junkfood. Rather, it's our just desserts.

Indie folk/pop artist Sparxsea is releasing her second single, “Chariot,” today from her forthcoming album On The Sea, which will arrive in the spring of 2021 via Sparxsea Music.
Following the success of her debut single “Little Wooden Boat,” which bowed during quarantine 2020 to wide critical acclaim, “Chariot” marks a pivotal moment in the career of this fast-rising artist. In a music scene saturated with stale uniformity and a seemingly endless abundance of characterless releases, Sparxsea’s music has stood out from the very beginning.
Sparxsea blends high quality sonic production with organic tones and instrumentation, deep, sometimes baritone vocals, down-tempo electro-beats, and a carefully crafted lyricism which exists in total harmony alongside a modern folk sensibility,
She has created a sound that is entirely her own, and in the tradition of cross-genre acts like Postal Service, Sufjan Stevens, and Flora Cash, her music weaves effortlessly between emotional anthems and inspiring psalms that deal with hard-hitting topics like loneliness and depression.
“Chariot” was co-produced by Will Holland (Pixies, Dead Can Dance) and Will Bradford (SeepeopleS, TheWorst) and was recorded at the legendary Chillhouse Studios in Boston, MA.
Big Takeover is pleased to host the premiere of the video for “Chariot,” which was created by Sparxsea herself.
The engaging single gets an equally captivating visual treatment, showcasing a lovely performance by Sparxsea at the keyboards surrounded by a welcoming natural environment of greenery, from leafy deciduous trees to purple lupine blooms bathing in bright sunlight.
Images of lapping waves of the sea in the evening and night-time sporadically flash across the screen, mirroring the reflective nature of Sparxsea’s performance and lyrical content.

The omnibus appropriations bill fashioned in secret by congressional leaders this week is larded with goodies for the lawmakers who will be voting on it and the special interests – from the gun lobby to Wall Street – that are their financial patrons, Common Cause said today. If passed, it will include the biggest increase in campaign contribution limits ever enacted by Congress.
The non-partisan “citizens lobby” dispatched a letter to lawmakers calling the bill “a toxic cocktail of giveaways” and urging its defeat. In its place, Congress should pass a stopgap measure to keep the government open beyond Thursday’s deadline for funding most federal agencies, the group said.
“Not only will it lead to scandal, the bill is itself a scandal, providing political payback to some of the biggest spenders in the 2014 midterms,” the letter said.
“If this is a sign of things to come in the next Congress, the country is in for a rough couple of years,” said Karen Hobert Flynn, Common Cause’s senior vice president for strategy and programs. “This bill’s passage will be proof positive that big campaign donors – not elected Democrats or Republicans -- are calling the shots on Capitol Hill.
“President Obama should have his veto pen at the ready should the bill reach his desk,” she added.
Among the provisions drawing the group’s fire:
“Those who spent millions of dollars collectively on the 2014 midterms stand to receive very special treatment in return…” the letter asserted. “The omnibus will permit financial firms to make risky bets at the public’s expense, with guaranteed bailouts from federal insurance programs when the bets fail. The omnibus cuts the EPA’s budget 21% below 2010 levels, grants exemptions to certain clean water laws, and even prohibits the agency from regulating lead in gun ammunition.”
Common Cause is a nonpartisan grassroots organization dedicated to upholding the core values of American democracy. We work to create open, honest, and accountable government that serves the public interest; promote equal rights, opportunity, and representation for all; and empower all people to make their voices heard in the political process.

- The power use penalty at Rank 1 Blade Armor is not 50% overall reduction to Power Recharge Speed, but a 50% points reduction of the Power Recharge Speed. Ex: If you have +200% Power Recharge Speed when looking at the weapons screen, activating Rank 1 Blade Armor reduces that Power Recharge Speed to +150%.
- The power speed penalty reduction of 30% at Rank 6 Blade Armor reduces the penalty down to 20%. 50% points penalty (Rank 1) - 30% points penalty reduction (Rank 6) = 20% Power Recharge Speed points penalty. Ex: If you have +200% Power Recharge Speed, activating Rank 6 Blade Armor only reduces your Power Recharge Speed to +180%.
- Blade Armor has no effect on Phantom, Brute, Banshee, Praetorian, or Atlas instant kill attacks, Husk/Abomination grabs, or Atlas ground slams.
- Enemies will be staggered when their own staggering melee attack is reflected, but so will you.
- Phantom blades might break after contact with Blade Armor.
- The Collectors always strike and deal damage with their melee blades twice; a batarian's Blade Armor will cause the Collector to stagger back after dealing their first blow, thus preventing them from dealing the full damage of both strikes. This allows a batarian a good close quarters advantage against the Collectors over other races.

Lunar eclipse 2015
The video about the lunar eclipse
Connecting the Raspberry camera module with a zoom lensFigure 1:
The lunar eclipse on September the 28th was surprisingly early in 2015 - at least for me. I quickly connected the camera module of my Raspberry Pi to a 100-300mm zoom lens to capture that rare astronomical event.
For the linkage, the rear plastic cover of a lens has to be surface grinded and drilled with a 8mm center hole.
The lense of the camera module has to be removed. Put the camera board on a flat surface - I am using a piece of Depron as bedding layer - and keep it in place with a caliper. With a stick of could hotglue you can press on the lens and unscrew it - you can also use a pencil with a rubber at the rear end.
Now, you can use some hotglue at the corners of the board to mount the camera module on the plastic cover.
The flange focal distance, thus the length between the rear of the lens to the plane of the light sensitive chip has to be considered to record focused images. I tried several spacers and found that with 20mm best. It's no perfect solution, but on the afternoon before the event it was the best camera adapter I could create.
My reasonably priced tripod is also no good solution for astronomical observations. You get enormous clearance for your money, thus you can't track the moon with that "tool".
The Raspberry camera can't control the aperture of the lens. To get an aperture of less than 4 - which is the maximum - the lens can be removed from the camera body while the aperture is triggered through a special button.
The area of the light sensor used with the Raspberry Pi camera module is clearly smaller than that of a standard camera the lens was manufactured for. We get a crop factor of approximately 9, by what the focal length of this zoom lens gets up to 2700mm.
We get a total view of the moon when adjusting the zoom to approximately 130mm, which equals 1200mm with a Raspberry camera module. Make that homebuild telescope point exactly to the moon is very tricky with that cheap construction. Considering the rule of thumb construction principles, the result is surprisingly good, however in absolute terms it is not outstanding.

Additional possibilities include cherry angiomas, dermatofibromas, folliculitis and keratosis pilaris 345.
Most of the conditions that cause hard bumps on children's skin do not have any other symptoms. Some of these conditions might cause mild symptoms such as itching at the site; one condition that can cause itching is keratoacanthoma 2. Folliculitis, which is an infection of the follicles, can cause pus-filled blistering, pain and inflammation 3.
Lipomas are fat-filled lumps that are usually not painful; a doctor usually can diagnose a lipoma without any kind of testing. Doctors also usually can visually identify cysts, keratosis pilaris and folliculitis 34. Conditions such as keratoacanthoma, neurofibroma and squamous cell cancer might require a diagnostic biopsy 2. Your doctor can diagnose neurofibromas with an X-ray, MRI or ultrasound.
Contracting the Hard Bumps
Conditions such as keratoacanthoma can be caused by exposure to sunlight and X-ray 2. The condition keratosis pilaris is the result of a buildup of keratin, although the reason for the buildup is unclear 4. Causes of folliculitis include covering the skin, excessive perspiration, inflammatory skin condtiions and abrasions 3. Dermatofibromas, cherry angiomas and neurofibroma all have unknown causes 5.
Cysts, folliculitis, and lipoma might go away without any treatment 3. Neurofibroma and keratoacanthoma might require removal of the affected area 2. Burning, cryotherapy, laser surgery and traditional surgery are possible treatments for cherry angiomas and neurofibroma. With keratosis pilaris, your doctor might prescribe topical corticosteroids and retinoids 4. Liposuction or surgery are possible treatments for lipomas.

One of the most exciting new additions to the festival calendar, Columns is a one-night celebration of the best in leftfield pop, hip-hop and electronica, all staged in the stunning cavernous surroundings of Manchester Cathedral. Since its inaugural show in 2014, the event has welcomed both established international acts such as Future Islands, Zola Jesus and Purity Ring, as well as emerging homegrown talents like East India Youth, Rosie Lowe and Shivum Sharma.
Following the success of its 2014 debut and spring 2015 follow-up, the festival will return to Manchester Cathedral for a third feast of future sounds at the end of October. Columns tickets are expected to be snapped up quickly for what is fast becoming one of Manchester's must-see musical events.
Renowned for its stunning stained glass displays and wooden furnishings, Columns' home, Manchester Cathedral, dates back to the Middle Ages and is one of fifteen Grade 1 listed buildings in England's second city. The cathedral first began hosting concerts in 2009 and has since hosted the likes of Wild Beasts, Anna Calvi, The Fall, Belle & Sebastian, Laura Marling, Augustines, Marina and the Diamonds and Alicia Keys.
Staged by DHP, a leading entertainment company renowned for their creative approach to music promotion and production, the first Columns night took place in the autumn of 2014. Enjoying a newfound popularity thanks to their spellbinding performance on "Late Night with David Letterman," Baltimore synth-pop outfit Future Islands took top billing, with Mercury Prize nominee East India Youth, alternative singer-songwriter Zola Jesus, goth-pop balladeer Cousin Marnie, electro-soul chanteuse Rosie Lowe, shoegazey duo Hockeysmith and ambient outfit O>L>A also helping to ensure that the event would become a regular fixture of the Manchester music calendar.
The festival's reputation was consolidated in the spring of 2015 when another array of forward-thinking artists descended upon Manchester Cathedral for a captivating night of musical entertainment. Alongside a headlining set from witch house pioneers Purity Ring, attendees also enjoyed performances from Canadian art rockers Braids, Mercury Prize nominee Ghostpoet, electro-pop duo Cash+David, warped funk maestro Clarence Clarity, electro R&B Londoner Shivum Sharma and pop experimentalist Born Gold.
The latest Columns line-up boasts several artists who have enjoyed critical and commercial success with their first studio efforts. Nottingham songstress Indiana reached No. 17 in the UK in early 2015 with their album "No Romeo," a bewitching electro-pop affair which spawned a Top 10 single in the shape of "Solo Dancing," while BRIT School graduate Georgia received rave reviews for her self-titled debut's eclectic blend of grime, electro and pop. Joining them on the night are hotly-tipped troubadour Jack Garratt, who's become a staple of the Radio 1 playlist with his soul-baring brand of folktronica, as well as smoky-voiced Melbourne teenager Cloves and beach-friendly producer Duck House, whose remix of Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do" has racked up over a million views on YouTube.
With everyone from emotive singer-songwriters to party-starting DJs taking to the stage, attendees should look forward to an eclectic show featuring moments where you can hear a pin drop as well as moments where the urge to dance becomes overwhelming. Offering the chance to hear both today's hitmakers and tomorrow's stars in a unique location, Columns' popularity amongst Manchester gig-goers looks set to continue.

I use a REL with a tube amp and lifted the ground on the REL (This model, Q150E, has a switch for that). Humless! I also use a PS Audio Humbuster III on my power amps, so there's that.

I have had a REL Storm III with a McIntosh MC275 mkIV. Was wired from the speaker terminals in the amp into the REL, as the preferred method by the manufacturer. So this is bass reinforcement at the lower levels. The amp still try to reproduce the whole spectrum. I was very happy with it.
Having said that, I replaced the ReL with two Rythmik subs and I'm happier, and I'm thinking it might be best to have a crossover between amp and preamp so to avoid the low freqs from getting into the amp and let the subs reproduce them.
I'm trying to get rid of a 60 cycle hum when the AMPS [emphasis added] are on...More detail is needed. First, are you saying that you are using a pair of monoblock amps? Also, what model is/are the amp or amps, and the sub? And am I correctly interpreting that you are connecting the sub using its speaker-level inputs, and that the hum is emanating from the sub?
Also, some of the vintage McIntosh amps have both a "gnd" (ground) terminal and a "com" (common) terminal adjacent to their 4, 8, and 16 ohm output terminals. If that is the case here, which one of them are you connecting the REL's black wire to ("gnd" or "com"), and is there a jumper on the amp between those two terminals?
If both of those terminals are present but there is no jumper between them, adding a jumper may fix the problem. That possibility is reinforced by your statement that the two-prong adapter made the hum much louder.
When connecting a single sub to two monoblock amps REL generally recommends connecting the sub's black (ground) wire to the chassis or other ground point of the preamp. The red and yellow wires would be connected as they apparently are presently, one of them to the 8 ohm tap of one amp and the other to the 8 ohm tap of the other amp.
I would NOT try that, however, without Gnd and Com being jumpered together on both amps. Connecting the black wire to preamp ground, or for that matter to Gnd on one of the amps, without the jumpers being in place would result in the sub seeing a floating input from each amp having no return path to the secondary of the output transformer. The result would probably be a huge hum.
The schematic appearing on the last two pages of the manual may help to clarify that.
I'm saying that if I am correct in assuming that the red wire from the sub is connected to the 8 ohm tap of one amp, and the yellow wire from the sub is connected to the 8 ohm tap of the other amp, then what you should try is connecting the black wire to a ground point on the PREAMP, such as a chassis screw. But you should only do that with the COM and GND terminals of each of the two amps jumpered together.

Samsung’s global sales of the Galaxy S9 are lower than those of the Galaxy S8, a cause for concern, since the S8 is also smaller than the previous year’s S7.Samsung J3 J5 J7 Lcd
In fact, the Galaxy S series hasn’t sold as many products in recent generations as it did at its peak — the Galaxy S4, launched in 2013, reportedly sold 80 million units.
It’s worth noting that it’s not easy to know exactly how many smartphones are sold. On this issue, the actual data that is most easily available are the shipments of each manufacturer, and IDC releases relevant data every quarter.
However, these figures do not represent the actual sales of smartphones. We can only learn about the overall shipments of the manufacturers, but cannot see the specific data of each model.
But the gradual decline in samsung’s smartphone sales, combined with market analysts and industry data, should be real. Analysts expect overall smartphone sales to fall in the second quarter of march. This year alone, the south Korean firm’s market share has fallen by 9%.
Thanks to the success of the iPhone X and the rise of Chinese manufacturers such as huawei and xiaomi in the mid-market, samsung’s position as the world’s no. 1 smartphone market is in jeopardy.
The main crisis in samsung’s smartphone business, according to analysts and media, is that none of the new features are “necessary.” For example, the Galaxy S9 is almost identical to last year’s S8, and most consumers don’t understand or care about minor upgrades.
According to the rumors of this period, there will be no big difference between the Galaxy Note 9 and last year’s Note 8. Only the S Pen will get an important upgrade. If that is the case, the phone may not sell better than the S9.
Meanwhile, products from Chinese manufacturers such as vivo, OPPO and huawei have truly innovative features, such as pop-up cameras, on-screen fingerprint sensors and three rear cameras. Even apple’s iPhone X led the trend.
If samsung is to pull itself out of the mire, it will have to do two things: launch an innovative but risky flagship device and develop a cheap but powerful mid-tier one. Without both, it is only a matter of time before apple and huawei catch up.
- Xiaomi 9 or the first qualcomm snapdragon 855 details exposed
- Google Pixel 3 officially released after watching the real machine
- Huawei Mate20 Pro real machine exposes bright screen bangs eye-catching
- The samsung Note 9’s protective case and glass film were released in advance: a familiar formula
- Galaxy S range are slowly declining and samsung’s position as the number one in the industry is in crisis

The UAE Embassy in New Delhi, India last week issued an advisory for all those who wish to return to the United Arab Emirates and warned them about fake flight approval letters issued by scamsters.
The UAE embassy put out a tweet advising all its “visitors and clients” to only visit the official website.
“Disclaimer!! UAE Embassy India advises all its visitors & clients to visit it’s official website for any necessary information by clicking on below link: http://mofaic.gov.ae/en/missions/new-delhi Please avoid visiting suspicious sites, UAE Embassy India shall not be responsible if any damage occurs”
It may be noted that the Khaleej Times had reportedly investigated allegations of conmen using a fake website to send out flight approval letters. The report said the bogus portal had conned several travelers until July 26.
Its worth mentioning that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has allowed fully vaccinated holders of valid residence visas will be allowed to come back from 15 countries that were previously on the suspended list, starting from 12 September 2021.
“UAE allows the return of fully vaccinated (World Health Organisation-approved vaccines) holders of valid residence visas, including those who stayed abroad for over six months,” said the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA).
The decision comes in the wake of the lifting of a travel ban imposed on countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Namibia, Zambia, etc.

Tanglewood launches new electric guitar range
The company's TSB94 range is based on the Tomkat series guitar which became critically acclaimed during their inception in the mid-to-late-90s and the new axes draw inspiration from this, Musical Instrument Professional reports.
It comes in a number of different configurations with players able to choose from the TSB94 MT GBK, TSB 94 MT HB and the TSB94 HT AVB. The former has a carved maple top combined with a graphite finish, while the MT HB is infused with a honey burst finish.
The HT AVB is for the more dedicated vintage player with a hard tail finish. All these models come in at a reasonable price ranging from £399 to £499 which will be able to suit most budgets.
The range of TSB94's will go into Tanglewood's arsenal of electric guitars with the company already offering the TSB 58 which are in the mould of a Gibson Les Paul and provide solid performance both on stage and in the studio.

Never Past: On “The Fourth Reich: The Specter of Nazism from World War II to the Present”
By Brandon TensleyApril 2, 2019
The Fourth Reich by Gavriel D. Rosenfeld
Viewers may think of Huberman as, at best, delusional. After all, postwar Germany was in no position to pick a fight. Six years of conflict claimed, by some estimates, some seven million German lives and obliterated the country’s economy. In addition, the chief Allies — the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union — quartered Germany into occupation zones and began the four-pronged process of denazification, demilitarization, democratization, and decentralization. Making good on a puffed-up threat of next time was hardly possible.
But hindsight can obfuscate as much as it can illuminate. Though the notion of a resurgent Reich is mostly laughable today, to what extent did the deep fear of Nazism’s revival influence Western society just after the war and beyond? That’s the question at the heart of Gavriel D. Rosenfeld’s latest book, The Fourth Reich: The Specter of Nazism from World War II to the Present.
To call the book a straightforward alternate history — à la the novel-turned-hit-TV-series The Man in the High Castle, or even Quentin Tarantino’s 2009 movie Inglourious Basterds — isn’t quite right. Rather, Rosenfeld, a professor of history at Fairfield University, marshals a variety of sources — political speeches, newspaper clippings, slices of cinema — to offer a sharp counterfactual investigation that reveals how discourse on the Fourth Reich has meaningfully shaped postwar culture.
Understanding the Fourth Reich requires having a bit of context about its predecessors. In simplest terms, the first Reich — or “realm” or “empire” — was the multiethnic Holy Roman Empire, formed in 800 with the crowning on Christmas Day of Charlemagne. The second was the German Empire, which lasted from German unification in 1871 until Wilhelm II’s abdication in 1918. As the Nazis rose to prominence throughout the 1920s and into the early ’30s — culminating in their seizure of power in 1933 — they increasingly viewed their party as the shepherd of a revolutionary, final Reich, commonly referred to as the Third Reich.
Rosenfeld traces the Fourth Reich, as a concept with some dimension, to German émigrés in the early and mid-’30s. Importantly, this early imagining didn’t envision the successor state as a perpetrator of cultural and political evils. Consider the journalist Georg Bernhard, who fled Germany for Paris in 1933 and later wrote what he called a “Draft of a Constitution for the Fourth Reich,” a.k.a. a new Germany. In it, he underscores a devotion to “freedom of conscience […] and the equality of all classes and races” and “purging all signs of barbarism”; notably, “no one will be able to hold office in the Fourth Reich who was a leader of the Nazi party.” In other words, this new Germany would be “a Reich of Peace” — the embodiment of nonviolence.
As Rosenfeld points out, this imagined post-Nazi state wasn’t purely political; in its own way, it also functioned as a cultural talisman. “The fact that both Bernhard and [Leopold] Schwarzschild — like many other exile journalists — were Jews showed how the idea also came to acquire a Jewish inflection,” he writes. More specifically, to German Jews, this new Reich had a quality that was in turns hopeful and darkly comic. For instance, German Jews in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City apparently nicknamed their area “The Fourth Reich.”
“There is little doubt that the phrase represented something of a coping mechanism,” Rosenfeld explains. “German Jews in Washington Heights strove to preserve as many of their cultural traditions as they could in their new home.”
Toward the end of World War II, the notion of the Fourth Reich took on a more sinister meaning. Though within Germany the term was almost exclusively anti–Adolf Hitler — to the point that the Nazis sought to squelch use of it — the Allies viewed it with suspicion: After the war, would the Fourth Reich, regardless of form, be nothing more than a reanimated Nazi state?
Rosenfeld is at his most entrepreneurial when he’s probing the what-if veins of counterfactual analysis. Of the vulnerability of the Allies’ postwar occupation, he wonders: “[W]hat if Germany had not been subjected to divided Allied occupation?” He reasons that because the Western Allies’ approach to occupation differed from the Soviets’ — the former the benevolent good cop, the latter the punitive bad cop — it makes sense to ask how, say, a wholly Soviet-occupied Germany might have given credit to the “anti-Bolshevik stance” of the Nazi remnant. Rosenfeld wisely acknowledges that it’s unclear whether the scenarios he offers would’ve even been possible. His broader argument, though, still stands. Far from the notion today of having been inevitable, the Allies’ postwar success was thanks largely to their targeted policy maneuvering to minimize the Nazi resistance and to the divide-and-conquer tack of the occupation generally, an approach in part shaped by concerns over still-simmering far-right threats.
Refreshingly, Rosenfeld doesn’t limit his analysis solely to replaying history. As he guides readers through the rest of the 20th century, he also incorporates Western culture’s fictionalized treatment of postwar Nazism into his study. Take the period from the ’60s into the ’80s, known as the “long 1970s.” Initially, the era’s cultural products — films, television programs, novels — reflected a lingering undertow of fear around a supposed Fourth Reich, influenced by events like the 1961 Adolf Eichmann trial. In time, however, as Nazis were increasingly aestheticized and universalized — from the Marvel villain Red Skull, who declares in Issue No. 148 of Captain America that his organization is “buying time for the birth of the Fourth Reich,” to the 1981 blockbuster Raiders of the Lost Ark — their historical villainy seemed to atrophy. Instead of genuine military rivals, “they became stock villains drained of ethical significance,” Rosenfeld writes, “reduced to superficial symbols (black uniforms, swastika armbands, leather jackboots) and generically sociopathic behaviors (sadistic violence and deviant sex).”
In these pages, it’s Rosenfeld’s ability to come at the subject with a critic’s eye — picking up pieces of pop-cultural flotsam — that adds fullness to the book. Indeed, this pas de deux between politics and pop shines a light on how much Nazi imagery permeated societies beyond Germany, even when many of these depictions had, at least to Rosenfeld’s mind, been shorn of their historical significance.
This miniaturizing continued into the late ’80s, until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and German reunification the following year. These pivotal events reignited fears of a neo-Nazi resurgence. In the years since then, the perception of Nazism as a true threat has ebbed and flowed, “being invoked in times of crisis and fading in times of stability.” As in the past, recent invocations have been employed outside Germany and across the political spectrum, but they’ve also taken on more symbolic meanings: Germany as Europe’s Nazi-like economic hegemon, the United States under President Donald Trump as the Fourth Reich. (This latter example calls back to the ’60s and ’70s, when black radicals like James Baldwin framed former president Richard Nixon’s administration as another Reich.) Today, Rosenfeld argues, the Fourth Reich’s “polemical power reveals that its significance is as much rhetorical as historical.”
At first, I approached The Fourth Reich with skepticism: the premise seemed almost categorically impossible. But what makes Rosenfeld’s book so convincing, beyond the fact that it’s a tremendously engaging crossover academic-trade book, is that he maintains a keen awareness of how big his task is. “It may initially seem pointless to examine the history of the Fourth Reich,” he writes. “After all, history is commonly understood as the documentation and interpretation of events that actually happened.” But it’s exactly this understanding that arguably motivates him to do the work of unearthing the important details and trends that make it clear that the past, of course, is never past — but neither is it as settled as commonly thought.

The Holley LS Fest folks planned on taking several hours to determine a winner in the inaugural Car Craft Engine Swap Challenge. The finish took far less. The Holley LS Fest folks planned on taking several hours to determine a winner in the inau You could tell from the first moment you walked under the Car Craft Engine Swap Challenge tent that the team from Williamsburg, Iowa, had come prepared. The Olds Cutlass convertible was nothing really to look at, especially compared with their competition's beautiful big-block, Chevy-powered Camaro. But this was no beauty contest. This was an all-out test of skill at the Holley LS Fest in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to see how quickly a team of car crafters could swap a GM Performance Parts LS6 into a car and drive off. The game was as simple as it was challenging. And the team that won got to keep the LS6 and the Holley HP EFI system. The big question was: How long would it take? It had dumped buckets of southern-flavored rain the day before, and the day began overcast and humid. The two cars faced each other under the open-sided tent with puddles covering both worksites just to put a damp spin on the conditions. Holley was looking for a fun competition to round out the usual drag racing and autocross events, and this looked like a winner to us. There were plenty of applicants, but the decision came down to Corey Ritter's team from Lexington, Kentucky, working on his '69 454, five-speed Camaro head to head against Justin Dermody's crew and their 350, Chevy-powered, '70 Olds Cutlass convertible. Team Camaro showed up with a five-speed, manual-equipped, big-block Camaro. Owner Corey Ritter was confident in his team of Mercedes mechanics, who all work at James Motor Co. in Lexington, Kentucky. Team Camaro showed up with a five-speed, manual-equipped, big-block Camaro. Owner Corey Ri The tension before the start was real enough and had that feeling you sense right before the big cross-town high school football game. The Challengers With the two cars face to face under the tent, it was clear the Iowa boys had done their prep work. In a later discussion with Justin, he admitted he had purchased a complete Holley HP EFI computer and wiring harness from Jegs so he not only knew how to wire the system, but also so he would be familiar with the software should he need to access it with his laptop to get the engine running. The Olds team's preparation was evident in little things like a green tape line on each midpoint position on the body like the NASCAR teams use to indicate exactly where to place the floorjack to raise the car. As a further bit of not-so-subtle intimidation, Team Olds sported a monster Snap-on rollaway tool chest, while the Camaro guys had their tools laid out on the ground alongside their car. When the horn sounded, it appeared Team Camaro would really have to hustle. THE TEAMS Team Camaro Team Olds Corey Ritter, owner Justin Dermody, owner Townsend Gregg Trent Lower Robb Combs Clay Koenig Brian Geary Dustin Bernacki Mike Drapac, software help/coaching Dan Bernacki, Dustin's father This is how the big-block in the Camaro appeared before the competition started.

This is how the big-block in the Camaro appeared before the competition started. The engin Each team would bolt in one of these GM Performance Parts LS6 engines that Holley had previously equipped and tested with a Holley intake and the new Holley HP electronic fuel-injection system.

Each team would bolt in one of these GM Performance Parts LS6 engines that Holley had prev Team Olds' engine compartment revealed its preparation. The rules required the car to run, but only for a short period, so Justin Dermody bypassed the radiator and had an EFI pump and tank in the trunk. The carbureted small-block was fed by a plastic gas can under the hood, and the battery had been moved to the trunk. Team Olds' engine compartment revealed its preparation. The rules required the car to run, The first surprise came when Team Olds yanked the entire front clip within the first two minutes. Note the green tape around the top of the door-acknowledging that, after all, this is still Justin's wife Melinda's car.

finally at comfort, the US copywriter and poet Raymond Carver typed “Late Fragment”:
And did you bring everything desired using this lives, but?
Carver’s terms express what we should all need deep down, specifically from marriage: we wish to feel precious. However it tends to be difficult understand what that type of adore is comprised of, aside from where to find they.
it is reasonable to believe that the type appreciate Carver need off existence, plus the appreciation we would like of wedding, is the passion for genuine friendship. We think ourselves beloved when we know all of our buddy sees us for just who we actually tend to be and likes just what he sees. Aristotle has many crucial ideas on how these types of relationship can happen.
Aristotle on Friendship
For the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle talks of friendship as reciprocated goodwill. However it is the origin of this goodwill that differentiates great relationship from two imperfect types of friendship. With real friendship, pals like one another due to their very own benefit, and so they desire nutrients for each other. This kind of friendship, states Aristotle, is only feasible between “good men close in advantage,” because just great men and women are ready enjoying another person regarding person’s very own benefit.
The two imperfect kinds of relationship are derived from either energy or pleasures. Imperfect pals like advantages they are derived from their union: they see one another pleasing, or beneficial, or both, as well as their goodwill stems from that. The connection I have with a golf buddy which renders myself have a good laugh, including, might-be a friendship of delight. If the guy performs beside me because We have a membership in a special club, then their friendship for me is regarded as power.
The point here’s not too real relationships commonly pleasant or useful—they are—but just the delight or effectiveness is not necessarily the supply of the appreciation real buddies feel for each additional. A genuine friend enjoys their buddy for exactly who he could be, for their figure. As the like is based on one thing enduring, the friendship was enduring. Imperfect friendships, in contrast, develop and perish rapidly, because they are considering impermanent affairs: beauty, or wide range, or discussed knowledge. When one or each party stop to obtain the commitment pleasant or useful, the relationship ceases besides.
You should realize that Aristotle cannot imagine the smaller types of friendship—friendships of pleasure and utility—are worst. Actually, since we cannot like someone’s personality unless we all know they, and since we merely come to know someone’s fictional character after a long time frame, correct friendship will be uncommon. With regards to occurs, it is going to just happen after a long period. Therefore, regardless of if we might wish which our useful and enjoyable connections will end up real relationships, it seems like all friendships—even relationships between virtuous people—would need start as friendships of pleasure and energy.
In order to comprehend what a marriage of real relationship is like
we must start off with Aristotle’s look at just what relationship concerns. For Aristotle, any commitment has to be about things. Buddies become pals because there are issues that they are doing together—in Aristotle’s words, they’ve been signed up with in certain “shared task.” Those activities that both women and men naturally express are standard, therefore natural, and time-consuming that Aristotle states the relationship between people and woman is considered the most normal of most relationships. Men and women get together simply because they want one another in addition they like both. Needed each other when it comes down to “necessities of lifestyle” and creating and elevating children. Because real human offspring grab the longest to raise, men and women means the most long lasting connections of every kinds.
To date, Aristotle’s explanation of relationship doesn’t appear most lofty. It may sound like he is possibly stating that relationships is mainly a friendship of energy with perhaps only a little pleasure cast in if we’re lucky. Nonetheless it’s vital that you remember that Aristotle is not (yet) describing the sort of relationship men and women need after all. He’s describing the inspiration on the commitment, exactly what it’s when it comes to. If someone else expected you to explain soccer, we wouldn’t start with talking about the camaraderie the more successful teams have; we’d describe precisely what the online game concerns. And especially in terms of creating and elevating kiddies, it’s important never to ignore that the sweet pea inloggen foundation of relationship actually is an important, life-long shared task, the one that, when opted into, is difficult or impractical to opt of.
The project of experiencing and raising young children, if it is done lightly or otherwise not, cannot be softly discarded. In a significant sense, it’s larger than the 2 people that go right up. When two different people have actually performed your panels of begetting and raising a young child, that venture cannot just feel set-aside; truly never ever “finished.” They could divorce, and sometimes even never ever get married before everything else, but—like they or not—the shared job of increasing that son or daughter will link them throughout their particular life. Those who have experienced one parent’s anguish at needing to relinquish his / her youngster to some other, untrustworthy, parent’s guidance knows of this.
The main point is this: once you have taken in the lifelong task of increasing a young child, the prosperity of that venture must alone become a main consideration. But that does not mean your relationship with your spouse doesn’t issue or that your relationships ought to be merely a friendship of electricity. Indeed, Aristotle states that although husbands and spouses normally have friendships of pleasure and power, “there may be real relationship between them, if they’re decent.”

>I’m such a band geek.
I played flute in school, and I LIVED. FOR. BAND. Seriously. Marching band, jazz band, symphonic band, orchestra, pep band, etc. I did it all, and I loved it. For a long time I actually planned on making music my career. In college I played with the Indianapolis Symphonic Band, but once I got engaged to Matt, my music interested waned. Now my flute sits in the closet in my craft room, and only gets played once or twice a year. I’m saddened when I think about all those years I spent practicing, learning, playing…only to have my talent put on a shelf now. I still get out my flute and play now and again, and I always promise that I’m going to pick it up again. Play at church. Join a community band. I have yet to do any of this though…Right now my band days are buried deep in my past.
Although I no longer play, my band geek-dom can’t help but rear its pimply head from time to time! Now and again I jump into stories that begin, “This one time at band camp…”, and I still enjoy and appreciate great music. Yesterday, I was reminded again of my geeky past when I couldn’t resist these at my local Staples store:
I apologize for the blurry picture, but I think you can still make out what the picture is of…
That’s right folks – I bought treble clef paper clips! I love them, and I don’t care what you think. These little babies make my band geek/office supply-loving heart go pitter-pat. 🙂
Geeky as I may be, I still do love music, and I will ALWAYS. BE. A. BAND. GEEK.
>You are such a nerd and that is why I love you. I am also a fellow band geek and I dabbled a bit in the piccolo as well…thank you.
>Haha, so I bet you didn’t expect me in the comments! I know it doesn’t fit with the post, but I thought this would be the easiest way to get in touch with ya. Its Seth, and we’ve all been out of touch for such a long time! Its totally my fault, I know! I hope we can catch up soon, and hope you and Matt are doing great. I have a new email, email@example.com so drop me a line and we can get in touch. Can’t wait to hear from you both!God Bless,Seth
>I was a bank geek too. Clarinet for me. I found your blog through your beautiful comment on “Playgroups are no Place for Children”. Way to go!

VIRGINIA BEACH — The developer of the mixed-use Atlantic Park project set to break ground this fall on the former dome site hasn’t been able to obtain traditional financing for its proposed surf park and it may threaten the success of the rest of the project, according to a Virginia Beach Development Authority document.
At its meeting Tuesday morning, the authority approved a request from the developers, whose partners include music superstar Pharrell Williams, to take a different approach to financing the 2-acre artificial surf cove that will feature technology capable of producing up to 1,000 waves per hour.
Authority members unanimously agreed to turn its ownership over to a nonprofit organization and to seek state funding, at the request of the developer.
P3 Foundation Inc., a North Carolina-based nonprofit, which specializes in developing parks, community buildings and other public infrastructure, will “develop, finance, own, lease and operate” the surf park, according to the Development Authority documents.
Mike Culpepper, a managing partner of the project’s developer, Venture Realty Group, briefly described the nonprofit at the meeting as an organization that “reduces the burden of governments.”
After the meeting, The Pilot asked Culpepper to confirm that the nonprofit group will develop the surf park. Culpepper wrote in a text that that was incorrect but didn’t elaborate. The city’s economic development department didn’t respond to The Pilot’s attempt to seek clarification Tuesday afternoon.
The authority also approved Venture’s plan to ask the Virginia Small Business Financing Authority to issue bonds to finance the lagoon.
With the nonprofit owning the surf park, the debt from bond financing won’t affect Virginia Beach’s credit rating, according to the city.
The plan to have the nonprofit step in doesn’t require the City Council approval, according to city staff.
Development Authority member Mike Standing, who owns real estate in the area, abstained from the vote.

"...From the run on Saturday, September 1st 2007....I come down into a valley. The sun begins to rise. It is now close to six o’clock as I approach the flattest section of the valley. Looking right to the east, there is a calm lake with a mountain silhouetted by the sunrise. There is swan on the moonlit side, floating on the water. I’m aghast. I stop my watch, standing still, I look around at both sides. Seeing the mirror images of the sun to the moon, with some exceptions, they hang in the sky at the same level. And my thoughts adrift, as I want to stand for just a little bit longer in the view.
I wonder, ‘if the moon is still available or has she gone, never to be seen again in quite the same way. I look to my left as I continue my run, and in the west is a mirror image of the east with one exception, the sky.
It’s as though the sky has the moon waving to me in all her bliss, as few stars still twinkle around her, as to keep the moon company. It is appears their job, you see. And when the moon comes out tonight, she’ll bring on new friends once more. They will embrace her as she embraces the night, she embraces me."

Saturday night was a big night for Tyler Seguin. It definitely wasn’t the first time he heard a crowd go crazy after he scored, and it certainly wasn’t the first time Boston fans lost their voices cheering for him each time his name was announced. It was, however, the first time the two occurrences coincided, as he netted his first goal of the preseason and scored for the first time at TD Garden.
Seguin scored the Bruins’ first goal of the night, one that was followed by a tally from another newcomer in Nathan Horton. Though he was glad to “finally” score as a member of the Bruins (if one scoreless game in which he had an assist against the Canadiens qualifies in Seguin’s mind as a scoring drought, the Bruins are in great shape), Seguin may have been more concerned with the one that got away than his first preseason goal. With the Panthers holding a 2-1 advantage in the shootout, Seguin was stopped by Florida netminder and former Boston College great Scott Clemmensen to end the game.
“There was a lot of pressure there,” Seguin said when asked of the moments leading up to his turn in the shootout. “When I went in, I heard Bergeron [who scored the first goal of the shootout] say the goalie was back in his net, so I wanted to go up high there, but I ended up going low. I kind of whiffed on it a bit, but what can you do?”
Last season’s OHL MVP, Seguin admitted that he could get away with more in his days in juniors than now. He pointed to his play in his own end as an area where he feel he still needs to improve.
“Back in the OHL, you can probably make a couple more errors. Here, if you make those errors, they’re going to cost you,” Seguin said, adding that there are also bits and pieces of his game as a winger that have been developing with more practice.
As for being called on in a shootout again, Seguin said that though he isn’t too experienced with them, he feels comfortable in the setting. He added that he would embrace being used in such a scenario again.
“You know, we didn’t have a lot [of shootouts] on the Whalers, but I’ve always been good at shootouts,” Seguin said. “I’m just going to keep working on it and hopefully I get the opportunity more this year.”
|09.25.10 at 10:31 pm ET|
Before writers could rush to their computers to write that Claude Julien said a couple more cuts were coming, the Bruins announced Saturday night that they have assigned defenseman Yury Alexandrov and forward Max Sauve to Providence. With the move, the team’s roster currently stands at 33 players.
Julien said prior to the move that the team had “unfortunately tough and quick decisions to make before we go to Prague.” The team leaves for Belfast on Wednesday night and will head to Prague a week from Sunday. Shameless plug — WEEI.com will be there.
|09.25.10 at 10:25 pm ET|
Cory Stillman notched the game-winner against Tuukka Rask in a shootout as the Bruins took a 3-2 loss in third preseason game, their first at TD Garden. After Patrice Bergeron netted the team the first shootout goal, Ryan Spooner and Tyler Seguin failed to convert on their attempts.
In regulation, both teams went scoreless in the first period with each with the Bruins scoring twice in the second and the Panthers picking up two of their own in the third. Seguin and Nathan Horton provided the offense for the B’s, with both of the high-profile newcomers beating Scott Clemmensen in the second. Seguin’s tally was the first of his preseason, while Horton had already potted one against the Canadiens on Wednesday night.
Radek Dvorak slid a Rask at 2:20 of the third period to make it a 2-1 game. The goal broke up a shutout bid by Rask in which the Panthers otherwise failed to capitalize on rebounds. Later in the period, a Horton turnover behind his own net led to Marty Reasoner setting up Nathan McArdle for the game-tying goal.
|09.25.10 at 8:28 pm ET|
There was a season ticket holder at the Bruins’ Town Hall meeting earlier this week who professed his love for the Garden’s goal horn but demanded he hear it more often. Tyler Seguin and Nathan Horton were believed to be two guys acquired in the offseason who could grant his wish. They each gave him and everyone else in the Garden something to get excited about in the second period on Saturday night.
After Seguin put the B’s on the board by beating Scott Clemmensen with an easy wrister, Horton later sidled over to position himself perfectly to rifle one top shelf past the Panthers’ netminder. Both players have gotten some different looks lines-wise since the first period. Stay tuned.
|09.25.10 at 7:49 pm ET|
The first period is wrapped up with the Bruins and Panther’s currently scoreless. The Bruins outshot the Panthers, but the Panthers had a few scoring opportunities that they either failed to capitalize on or had their plans foiled by Tuukka Rask.
There were a couple of fights in the period, with Mark Stuart dropping the gloves with Panthers forward Kenndal McArdle in a rather balanced fight in which Stuart eventually took McArdle. The biggest cheer from the crowd at the Garden, however, came when Milan Lucic lost his helmet after coming to the defense of Nathan Horton. Lucic, who had earlier been sent off for elbowing Mike Weaver, dropped Tristan Grant with 2:38 left in the period.
Ryan Spooner came awfully close to impressing once again after catching a nice pass from linemate Max Sauve, but was held by Nathan Paetsch while on the breakaway.
|09.25.10 at 6:47 pm ET|
We’re here at the Garden all ready for the Bruins to square off in their first home preseason game of 2010. Claude Julien intimated he would use the same lines Saturday as he did in Friday morning’s skate, and based on pregame warmups, the forwards will skate as follows:
Lucic – Krejci – Horton
Seguin – Bergergon – Recchi
Sauve – Spooner – Caron
Arniel – Campbell – McGrattan
Stuart – Bartkowski
Chara – Kampfer
Alexandrov – Seidenberg
All eyes will likely be on the top two lines for the Bruins, as one could assume they will be the team’s top six forwards on Oct. 9. Former Boston College great Scott Clemmensen is in net for the Panthers.
|09.25.10 at 2:50 pm ET|
The Bruins have cut their roster down to 35 by releasing five players from training camp on Saturday in Matt Dalton, Jeff LoVecchio, Nathan McIver, Jeremy Reich and Wyatt Smith.
Dalton and Smith were assigned to Providence, while the other three were placed on waivers for the purpose of being assigned to the Baby B’s. The team will play it’s third preseason game on Saturday night when they take on the Panthers at TD Garden.

Celebrate International Women’s Day, Women’s History Month, and 50 years of Williams co-education with a panel discussion moderated by Williams Trustee and former Society of Alumni (SoA) President Leila Jere ’91. Joining Leila in conversation will be current SoA President Kate Boyle Ramsdell ’97, current SoA Executive Committee member and WBAN member Katherine Sharpe ’79, and former SoA Executive Committee member and BiGLATA member Cat Vielma ’10.
Panelists will speak to several questions, addressing the ways in which alumnae have pushed the Society of Alumni to be more inclusive, expansive, and interconnected. How has the alumni body and its values have changed over time, reflected in the matriculation of Williams women in 1971 and, later, the addition of female voices to the Board of Trustees, the SoA Executive Committee, and Williams Alumni Networks’ executive boards? This event is also an opportunity to consider and discuss in open forum the work still to be done in the Society of Alumni toward gender equity, gap closure, and an inclusive definition of Women of Williams. This panel promises to be part celebration, part critical reflection, and part forward momentum.
