Even bones as large as a ham bone should not be given to dogs, as the dogs could choke and possibly die while chewing on any size of bone. Veterinarians at the FDA recommend only giving edible and recreational bones to dogs, as opposed to cooked bones.
Bones that have undergone a cooking process are brittle and may splinter and come apart. Risks with a dog eating cooked bones, such as ham bones, include broken teeth, lodging of the bone in the windpipe, lodging of the bone in the stomach or esophagus, mouth injury and constipation stemming from bone fragments. Raw, recreational bones, such as a bison femur, are acceptable for dogs to chew.

NVIDIA has opened up the pre-orders for the LTE-powered version of its Shield Tablet, with a $100 premium over the Wi-Fi only model available for $299. The $399 price does include 32GB of on-board storage, versus the 16GB of flash inside of the original model - as well as the LTE radio.
The company has taken the time to highlight some upcoming Android games to soon arrive on the Shield Tablet, games that all start with the letter 'B'. We have Beach Buggy Racing, BombSquad, and Broadsword. The new LTE-capable Shield Tablet will sell for $399, a $100 premium over the Wi-Fi only model at $299, and will not include a SIM.
NVIDIA has said that the LTE-powered Shield Tablet is certified for AT&T's 4G LTE network, and if consumers activate it on a qualifying plan, they'll receive a $100 bill credit. The new LTE-powered Tegra K1-based Shield Tablet will be available on September 30 online, and at selected retailers.
IDF 2014 - At Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2014, Cypress Semiconductor Corp. introduced a low-cost, easy-to-use development platform that enables designers to add high-performance USB 3.0 throughput to virtually any system.
The EZ-USB FX3 is the industry's only programmable USB 3.0 peripheral controller. It is equipped with a highly configurable General Programmable Interface (GPIF II), which can be programmed in 8-, 16-, and 32-bit configurations. GPIF II allows FX3 to communicate directly with application processors, FPGAs, storage media, and image sensors and provides a data transfer rate of up to 400 Megabytes per second, while using lower power than alternative solutions. The SuperSpeed Explorer Kit easily interfaces with external devices via three accessory boards that connect to Aptina image sensors, Altera FPGAs and Xilinx FPGAs, respectively. The kit also includes an integrated debugger with a standard USB interface to further simplify designs and speed time to market.

Supermicro has many new products to offer up with this new release of X10 servers. At IDF 2014, we happened to catch up with Supermicro to check out the new products they have to offer.
We found out not too long ago that NVIDIA was suing Samsung and Qualcomm, without going after any other companies, even if those companies used chips and parts from Samsung and Qualcomm, but now we might have found out why: Samsung is rumored to be working on its own GPU.
The news is coming from Fudzilla, and is just a rumor right now, but the company has been reportedly hiring people from the likes of AMD, NVIDIA and Intel. If Samsung were to be building its own GPU, it would be competing directly against Qualcomm and NVIDIA, with the latter having a very capable SoC with its Tegra K1 processor.
If Samsung did build its own GPU, it would save itself from having to license one from another company, as it would have nearly all of the components it needs for a flagship device built-in-house, from the screen, right down to the GPU.
Today Micron announced the new M600 SSD with Micron's innovative 128Gb 16nm MLC NAND flash. Availability comes in three form factors, 2.5" SATA, mSATA and m.2 (NGFF).
The M600 product series was designed for system builders and OEMs for use in off-the-shelf or custom PCs like corporate notebooks, Ultrabooks, tablets, video production, workstation and even embedded systems that require predictable high performance, low power consumptions, data security and high reliability.
Micron claims sequential read performance at 560 MB/s and sequential write performance at 510 MB/s. Random performance is rated at 100K read and 88K write. The 4-corner numbers are impressive but just as impressive are the endurance ratings. Micron claims the 128GB models deliver a staggering 100TB enduarance. The 256GB takes that up to 200 TB, the 512GB model up to 300 TB and the large 1TB model can deliver 400 TB of write endurance.
When Apple announced the two new iPhone 6 smartphones, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, they included NFC which most, myself included, presumed it would 'just work' with any other NFC-enabled devices. Well, we were all wrong - the NFC on the new iPhone is locked purely to Apple Pay.
Apple has confirmed the news directly with The Verge, with Apple's new mobile payments platform being the sole receiver of the NFC technology on the new iPhone. There are plenty of NFC-powered speakers and other devices that simply won't work with the new iPhone, with The Verge saying that "there's still hope for the future though".
I don't think we'll see support for NFC opened up to other devices, and even if we do, the question remains: why is Apple locking down NFC to Apply Pay, there's absolutely no reason for them to do this. What do you think?
NVIDIA is positioning itself to launch its new Maxwell-based GPUs within the next couple of days, with two new products to be launched: the GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970, but now we're hearing more details on pricing.
We should expect NVIDIA to start the price of its GeForce GTX 980 at $599, while the GTX 970 is rumored to be priced at a damn competitive price of just $399. At $399, NVIDIA could start cutting into its own GTX 780 pricing, which could be seriously good for consumers and gamers. We are expecting a slew of non-reference GTX 980 and GTX 970 cards to be made available, with varying cooling setups.
When it comes to the specifications of the new GeForce GTX 980, it will be a Maxwell-based card on the 28nm process, with 2,048 CUDA cores, 128 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. The GTX 970 will feature 1,664 CUDA cores, and 104 TMUs. Both variants will feature a 256-bit memory bus with 4GB of GDDR5 RAM.
With Google's recent acquisition of Titan Aerospace, many have wondered what it would do in our skies - well, now we have somewhat of an idea what the Mountain View-based giant will do. Google has asked the Federal Communications Commission for permission to take to the skies with experimental drones that would provide Internet access to remote areas.
Google wrote to the FCC on Friday, asking it to keep most of the testing details under wraps, but it did write: "Google recently acquired Titan Aerospace, a firm that specializes in developing solar and electric unmanned aerial systems ('UAS') for high altitude, long endurance flights. These systems may eventually be used to provide Internet connections in remote areas or help monitor environmental damage, such as oil spills or deforestation. The STA [Special Temporary Authority] is needed for demonstration and testing of [REDACTED] in a carefully controlled environment".
Starting on October 6, 2014, Google wants to start testing out its drones for 180 days. We should see the site of these tests "in a square east of Albuquerque and south of Santa Fe, New Mexico, centered roughly on the unincorporated community of Stanley", according to consulting engineer Steven Crowley. Google will transmit at frequencies between 910MHz and 927MHz, and from 2.4GHz to 2.414GHz. What will Google be transmitting at those frequencies? No one knows, as this information was redacted from the document, with the company refusing to comment on its application.
We know Windows 9 is coming, but it looks like Microsoft is going to unveil its next desktop operating system on September 30, at a "Windows event" in San Francisco.
Microsoft has started emailing out its invites, with Joe Belfiore and Terry Myerson to lead the talks about the future of Windows. The event itself will also cover enterprise and power users, with a "Windows Technical Preview" expected to be unveiled shortly after, or hopefully even at the event itself.
We already know that Windows 9 will feature a new, new Start menu, virtual desktops, and a Notification Center. I'm sure we'll see some surprises in Windows 9, something we'll find out much more on in just a few days time.
DisplayMate has one of the first Galaxy Note 4 smartphones in its possession, calling it the best display on a smartphone, ever. Samsung sent the company a pre-production model of its upcoming 'phablet' to test out, with its new 2560x1440 display.
DisplayMate played with the pre-production Galaxy Note 4, where it said: "It provides lots of image detail - it can display four complete HD 1280x720 images at once. The display has Diamond Pixels and Sub-Pixel Rendering with 518 pixels per inch (ppi), providing significantly higher image sharpness than can be resolved with normal 20/20 Vision at the typical viewing distances of 10 inches or more for Smartphones, so the display appears perfectly sharp".
By the end of its piece on the Galaxy Note 4, DisplayMate said that the display on the Note 4 "matches or breaks new records in Smartphone display performance".

Kathleen Wakefield, Snaketown
Publisher: Cleveland State University Poetry Center
2010, 159 pages, paperback, $10
the past is never past, and the present is rife with evil in Kathleen Wakefield’s award-winning novella, Snaketown. Striving for Faulkner by way of Morrison and McCarthy, Snaketown is a lyrical meditation on familial brokenness. Wakefield eschews the short sentences one might associate with a bleak thriller and instead unfurls train after train of comma-linked clauses that meander under her firm control. Wakefield is a working lyricist—she has written for both television and film—and her story of an eight-year-old girl gone missing in a sun-blistered, snake-choked Arizona town delights in a raw poetic terror that seeks but ultimately falls short of the sublime. Fortunately for Wakefield, a style that might seem derivative in a lesser writer’s hands often sings with sustained, singular beauty.
The novella’s central thread follows the Sibel family on one fateful winter Sunday. The family’s past and present twist and tangle into a circular pattern of heartbreak and regret. The action of the novella takes place several years after Willard and Maywood Sibel, patriarch and matriarch of their large rural family, have died, leaving the family rudderless. Wakefield selects the cursed son, Orin, seemingly prodigal since birth, as the manifestation of Sibel dysfunction. According to his own mother, Orin has been “badly put together, unloved in his creation.” It is as if she had carried twins, but “one die[d] in the womb, and the surviving one [was] born with teeth sticking out of its head, pieces of dead hair and fingernails.” Willard had never considered the boy his own, but one of Orin’s sisters, knowing better, refers to her brother as possessing the “full strength of [Willard’s] seed; the one he despised…as we despise the worst in ourselves.” Orin is a pyromaniac youth, a self-professed innocent fondler of little girls. Later, and most pivotally, he is the widowed husband angry at God.
As a clear symbol of her unavoidable damnation as a Sibel, a snake-shaped birthmark curls around the arm of little Caytas, granddaughter to the deceased Willard and Maywood. When Caytas goes missing, everyone in the family and town suspects Orin, including the sheriff. “But butter wouldn’t melt in [Orin’s] mouth,” the sheriff thinks, “since he got religion, and his sister had said he was at church.” The citizens of Snaketown and every member of the Sibel clan maintain this attitude of inevitability and resignation. Will Orin violate his family by violating his niece? Will the townspeople rise from their porches and lawn chairs, set down their beers, and intervene on behalf of an innocent child? The family’s past, having generated its own cursed momentum, seems already to have answered these questions before they are asked.
And what do we make of all the snakes? They inhabit the novella as they do the town: as a symbolic force, a background hiss or rattle, lending their biblical weight as signifiers of evil exiled from the garden. In one of her lyrical flourishes, Wakefield describes Snaketown as “the motherlode of snakes, you couldn’t move without stepping on one, snakes tying and platting and making snake love all over, tongues searching, eyes yellower than candlelight, dropping heavy from heights, and twining like tree branches, calling everything their own.” The novella never explicitly posits the Sibels as mirrors of the snakes, though Wakefield does give them a nice touch of consonance. Similarly enveloping the small town with their wretched ways, the Sibels are, in the sheriff’s estimation, “a bunch of drunks picking up odd jobs, living like rats in turds, cars and junk in their yards, children all over the place.” They seem from this outsider’s perspective to be your average, blue-collar, “white-trash” mash of humanity.
While alcoholism is no weak demon, it’s simply become a worn-out narrative trope, akin to the orphan become rich, the abusive husband, the hooker with the golden heart (Requiascat in pacem, the lot of them). The writing slacks in such places where Wakefield indicts the devil of drink as the cause of the Sibels’ downfall. Snaketown’s strengths shine when the family’s descent into perdition feels organically grown out of the God-forsaken, snake-infested landscape. For example, Wakefield compares Orin to the saguaro cactus, which “needs a nurse tree on which to establish its existence.” Orin as cactus would thus require the “shelter of…a paloverde, the paloverde being its link to life, the saguaro becoming strong, the paloverde becoming weak, often with fatal consequences, although sometimes far down the road.” But Orin is as bereft of his creator’s love as a saguaro cactus is of shelter.
While its prose never approaches the sheer originality of its stylistic forebears, Snaketown reveals a fresh, landscape-informed reading of familial sins passed down. If a writer presents the universal through the doorway of the specific, then Snaketown’s success is found in its exploration of one family’s geological evolution into perdition. If Faulkner and O’Connor had the Civil War and its generations of ghosts, Wakefield has her desert landscape and its myriad snakes. There’s no harm in making your characters drunks. Give them snakes for pillows and you have a new recipe for post-lapsarian fun.
Flannery O’Connor often represented the world’s evil manifested from without. The Misfit, one of her most blatantly devious creations, was the external threat Bailey’s family intersected with. But Snaketown shows the slow birth of evil from within. Though the outside world means little to the Sibels, the menace of universal evil lurks in their DNA—indeed the menace slithers underfoot. Their downfall is inescapable, as unstoppable a force as the natural world, like the snakes that devour their young. Exploring such bleak, hardscrabble lives, Snaketown’s hope-the little it does offer—ultimately lies in its telling, and the darkness rarely reads this beautifully.

In New York City, one needs to show their vaccine card to get into certain places, such as restaurants
As per the data by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost two-thirds of New York state is fully vaccinated. The data reveals that 65.3 per cent of the total population is fully vaccinated, this accounts for 12.7 million residents.
The percentage of people vaccinated above the age of 18 is somewhere at 77.1 per cent with 11.9 million people. The percentage of those with one dose out of the whole population is 72 per cent.
New York City has implemented one of the strictest COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the country. In New York City, one needs to show their vaccine card to get into certain places, such as restaurants. The city has also mandated vaccines for certain jobs. This includes public school teachers and police officers.
As of now, New York has the eighth-highest vaccination rate in the US, following behind Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts and New Jersey. However, its vaccination rate is higher than the entire US with only 56.9 per cent fully vaccinated. The rate of those with one dose of the vaccine is 65.8 per cent in the US.
Meanwhile, recent data revealed that September was the worst month in the US for new cases and deaths.
Data from the American Academy of Pediatrics reveals that cases among children peaked in September, as many schools opened for offline classes amid growing cases of delta variant.
More than 6 million children have tested positive for COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic, with more than 1.1 million new cases recorded from September 3 to September 30.
The weekly data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that COVID-19 deaths among children under age 15 also reached their highest level in September.
Recently, Pfizer has asked the US government to approve the use of its COVID-19 vaccine in children aged 5 to 11 years old, and if regulators agree, injections may start within weeks. In a trial of children, Pfizer had previously declared that a lower dose of their vaccine worked and looked to be safe.

India hints on long term plans of replacing coal with renewable energy.
India has announced long-term plans of replacing coal with renewable energy. In an ongoing debate, the developed countries are blaming developing countries like India. They claim that tackling climate change by developing countries is impossible without reducing the dependence on fossil fuels especially coal.
With regards to the concerns raised, Union Environment Secretary C K Mishra replied, “Reduction of coal is not a one-day process. We have a plan in place. A long-term plan where we will replace coal with renewable energy slowly to achieve the goal announced by the prime minister to reach 450 gigawatt.
“But plants which are already coal based, will continue to consume coal,” Mishra said during his address at the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Mishra further also mentioned that India has 80 gigawatts of renewable energy to replace coal in last five years. However India is not denying the fact that coal will be continued to use for a few more years.
The address also drew attention to the fact that electricity consumption in India continued to rise as a result of which coal could not be banned completely. This however did not mean that the government was not working on replacing coal with other alternatives of renewable energy.
According to reports, the IPCC Working Group is currently focusing on the Sixth Assessment Report which mitigates climate change over 200 authors, 12 of which are from India.

It wasn’t that close…
Redskins definitely need to fire Rick Eckstein.
— The Natidude (@TheNatidude) September 10, 2013
In the pregame radio show, Sonny Jurgensen kept saying “Joe THEEZMAN” as it was “Joe THEEZMAN’s birthday.” By the way, this wasn’t the first time the Skins got blown out on Joe THEEZMAN’s birthday — it happened in 1985 in Dallas. Cowboys fans sang happy birthday to him after his fifth interception I think.
Sonny also said, about three times, that “Robert Griffin III needs to go down to Nats camp and learn to slide.” Remember, Sonny is a hipster Nats fan.
So, that was about it for Skins highlights, wasn’t it? Oof.
Don’t worry though, Siri still loves the Skins
When was the last time a night game with the Eagles didn’t end in a awful loss?
I was flipping back and forth between the Skins and Nats and I stopped flipping because Gio Gonzalez was dealing. The Nats were outscoring the Skins for most of the night.
It is going to be a grumpy Tuesday morning I think.

Interim CEO Andrew Pendleton and Policy & Campaigns Lead Ollie Hayes get together to talk about the omnipresence and impact of targeted advertising, and the detrimental impacts it can have on us and on our planet.
"We Share Freely". The change we want to see in the world is bigger than we are. So, we're sharing our knowledge, resources and ideas to help more people and organisations take steps forward towards our vision of a green and thriving planet, where everyone can enjoy happy and healthy lives within the Earth's limits.
As part of this, we're launching our new "5 Minute GAP" series, a collection of five minute conversations that will share how we work and what we're working on. We'll talk about what we're trying to achieve and why, how we function as an organisation, and the thinking behind our plans and strategy.
We'll be regularly sharing these conversations, which will feature different members of our team and trustee board, as well as external experts.
We hope you enjoy listening in to our chats, getting to know our team and finding out what makes us who we are.
Audio only version:
If you prefer to read rather than watch, the transcription is here:
Andrew: I suppose that, you know, most of us spend more time than we should on social media platforms, and I'm and yet at the same time, most of us have probably become aware, you know, particularly since the since the European referendum in the UK and the, you know, the rise to power of of Donald Trump in the US, of the divisive power of the platforms.
And it's easy to think that some kind of, you know, conspiratorial big reveal somewhere there. And the fact that actually it's raw commercialism, isn't it? It's more money.
Ollie: Absolutely. Yeah. It it's not in the interests of these platforms to give you a sort of relatively bland take it or leave that experience online. Because you, you know, you're a human being and you after a while you think I'm going to go and do something more interesting. Maybe I'll look outside and spend some time with my family or read a book or something But if you are constantly served up more of the stuff that you've been that you've demonstrated you like, and that might be nice stuff, you know, it might be interesting documentaries or funny cat videos.
But it might also be increasingly extreme stuff or violent stuff or illegal stuff. And it is in the interests of these platforms that the recommender algorithms show you more of that and usually kind of more extreme versions of whatever it is you like because you come back for more. And it is an incredibly abusive and exploitative relationship. And what is very frustrating is that still the discussion, you know, if you listen to a radio phone in or something, the discussion will be about personal responsibility.
And with regards to kids, it will be about parental responsibility. And there's lots of kind of back in my day, you know, parents were able to control their kids did and that's it's just bad parenting. Well, it's not because it's a completely unfair fight. You've got, on the one hand, the biggest companies in the world with the most resources that any company ever has ever had, coupled with unbelievable supercomputing power, coupled with the best behavioral science and insights into how a human brain works, or pointed at one human brain with all of its vulnerabilities and complexities and weaknesses and is not a fair fight.
So I think it's really important that we get away from that idea of like, we need to do things better, we need to love us more, we need to try and get our kids to use the Internet. That's not that's not the question. The question is how do we design these things? How do we regulate these platforms such that they are working in our best interests, not that they are exploiting our human vulnerabilities?
Andrew: Yeah. I mean, as a as a parent, that resonates with me so much because in a daily battle with a 13 year old to to get them off screens basically, which is I guess what a lot of parents how a lot of parents experience this but that's connected to a massive system which you know and a global action plan.
We we we're obviously really interested in how individual households and people experience things because that's a really important potential driver of change. But we're also wanting to make those links into the wider systems, which is why the campaign to end surveillance advertising I think is so important because it's about finding a way into that bigger system, which is actually a system of driving consumption and consumerism, which is some you know, we all need to consume some things to live and have a comfortable and happy life and look after our wellbeing.
But the platforms are now turbocharging consumption to the extent that well, as we know the impact I think that's having in terms of, you know, the use of materials and the impact on the waste materials and impact on the planet. But also on our wellbeing. I mean, you know, to be marketed that in this way all the time is not it's not good for us.
Ollie: It's not and it's not a new problem in the sense that, you know, marketing to kids, whether it's explicitly for kids or not, but marketing to kids has been around forever. Advertisers have been well aware that, you know, using kind of cartoonish characters associated with big brands will appeal to kids and certain colour schemes, all the rest of it.
There's lots of techniques because marketers have always realized that this is that a future kind of set of loyal customers and you can get them young, you know, that's that's very good for them commercially. But what's different is that it can now be harnessed to your own or with computing power and with data, it can be focus on your own very particular interests and needs and vulnerabilities, and also that there's no limit on it.

Four pastas, four corners of Brisbane… Need I say more?
Not that you should need an excuse, but the cooler months make it the perfect time to rug up and dig in to a hearty bowl carbs. And so, to satisfy Brisbanites of the north, south, east and west, we have listed our favourite Italian pastas from all corners of the city.
With so many fabulous haunts to indulge, from the fine dining beauties to the friendly neighbourhood locals, it was a challenge (to say the least) narrowing it down to four measly dishes. There is definitely room for four Pastas, four Corners round two, so keep an eye on this space!
Pappardelle with shredded duck confit, porcini mushrooms and truffle tapenade | Mario at The Dining Room
The ultimate decadence, indulge in the shredded duck confit with freshly made pasta. Using porcini mushrooms and truffle tapenade, it has a deep earthy undertone. Glossy and rich, it's indescribably amazing.
Where: Mario at The Dining Room |49 Gerler Road in Hendra
Contact: 07 3268 4331
Buccatini all'amatriciana | 1889 Enoteca
Sometimes simple is best, and it sure is at 1889 Enoteca. Think guanciale (unsmoked Italian bacon), chili, fresh tomato sauce and Pecorino Romano. It will slip down your throat all too easily. I also have to make mention of the gnocchi with pork and fennel sausage and black truffle tapenade. A menu staple at 1889 Enoteca, it's hard to pass up. For more on 1889 Enoteca check out our post on Cellar Dining.

Venetian style crespelle filled with ricotta, pumpkin and burnt sage butter | Bar Alto
The crespelle is one of Bar Alto's most popular dishes, and a favourite amongst whoever has been so blessed to try it. With the burnt sage butter infiltrating the dish, it brings out the creaminess of the pumpkin. A true flavour sensation.
Where: Bar Alto | Brisbane Powerhouse on 119 Lamington Street in New Farm
Contact: 07 3358 1063
Grappino's marinara | Grappino
Prepared with the freshest morsels the sea provides, the marinara is served with Napoli and cream of lobster sauce. Trust me when I say it will take every inch of strength and willpower not to mop up every last bit. Sprinkled with fresh herbs, this is a positively glorious marinara. For more on Grappino check out our review on the Italian Trattoria.

Somehow we’ve lapsed back to posting about our Gigs of the Week on Wednesday, but it’s a quiet week this week with not too many gigs to tell you all about. Next week is looking busier, and I promise a bumper post much earlier in the week.
The most interesting gig we’ve seen isn’t wholly a gig – it’s half gig, half film. To celebrate the launch of the new Coen Brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis, Dukes @ Komedia are holding a special event on Friday night, showing the film then hosting a folk gig in the Komedia studio bar downstairs featuring Cate Ferris, StevieRay Latham, James Riley and Lewis Todhunter. Also on Friday night, Oh Captain are hosting their video launch at the Green Door Store.
Moving onto Saturday night, Dirty Weekend in Brighton are launching their new single at Latest Music Bar, and Neon Saints Brass Band are playing at the Gladstone.


IR detection systems developer Block MEMS LLC said it has been awarded a $9.8 million contract from the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, part of the U.S. government. Under the contract, the company will develop a system that can detect trace quantities of chemicals at standoff distances of at least 100 ft. The award is part of IARPA’s Standoff Illuminator for Measuring Absorbance and Reflectance Infrared Light Signatures (SILMARILS) program, and is managed by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. Block will develop a new class of widely tunable, high-pulse energy quantum cascade lasers (QCL) and also next-generation detection algorithms to detect and identify hundreds of chemicals on a wide range of surfaces. Dr. Anish Goyal, vice president of technology and principal investigator of the contract at Block MEMS, cited standoff detection of trace chemicals, such as explosive residues, chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial materials as a critical unmet need in U.S. intelligence and government defense communities. Block MEMS is an engineering and development company focusing on the R&D of QCLs and Fourier transform IR spectrometers.

For the second time in less than 24 hours, the Springfield Cardinals used the home run ball Wednesday morning to again defeat the Tulsa Drillers. Adam Melker helped erase an early Tulsa lead with a pair of home runs, and the Cardinals survived a rain shower and a late Drillers rally to post a 5-3 victory before 6,746 mostly young fans at ONEOK Field.
The loss was the sixth straight for Tulsa.
The Drillers took an initial lead in the contest with a run in the bottom of the first-inning. Delta Cleary Jr. drew a leadoff walk and scored on a one-out base hit from Kiel Roling.
Melker would promptly erase the lead with his first home run in the top of the second. The right fielder's solo drive onto the right field berm evened the score at 1-1.
Melker struck again in the fourth inning to put the Cardinals on top. Jake Lemmerman worked a leadoff walk from Dan Houston, and Melker followed with his second homer of the game and his fourth of the season to put Springfield in front 3-1.
Castillo helped his on cause with a run-scoring single in the sixth that plated Melker to increase the lead to 4-1.
The run proved valuable as the Drillers made things interesting with a pair of runs in the bottom of the eighth. Jayson Langfels greeted reliever Nick Greenwood with a leadoff double into the right field corner, and Kent Matthes made it two straight hits when his sharp grounder caromed off the glove of third baseman Ruben Gotay.
With runners at the corners, Rafael Ortega brought Langfels home when he grounded out to first. One out later, Joey Wong moved the Drillers to within one run with a base hit that scored Matthes.
Keith Butler replaced Greenwood on the mound and kept the Cardinals in front when he struck out Roling to end the inning.
With rain falling in downtown Tulsa, the Cards added an insurance run in the top of the ninth off reliever Juan Gonzalez to make it 5-3.
In the bottom of the ninth, as the rain increased in intensity, the Drillers got the potential game-winning run to the plate, but Butler got a double play grounder to end the game.
Castillo, who pitched for Spain in the World Baseball Classic this spring, allowed only four hits and one run in seven strong innings to get the win for Springfield. The victory evened his record at 3-3.
Houston, who was looking for his first win of the season, suffered the loss to fall to 0-4. He worked five-plus innings and surrendered nine hits and four runs.
Melker led a 12-hit attack for Springfield, finishing 3-4 with 2 homers and 3 runs batted in. Leftfielder Mike O'Neill also added three hits.
Wong and Nina finished with two hits each for Tulsa.
The Drillers and Cardinals will wrap up their four-game series Thursday night at 7:05 pm. Former major league hurler Sean Gallagher is expected to be the starting pitcher for the Drillers. Gallagher, who has been pitching in the independent Atlantic League, spent parts of four seasons in the major leagues with the Cubs, A's, Padres and Giants.
The Redbirds will send Scott McGregor (4-1, 2.63 ERA) to the mound. McGregor is 2-0 in four career starts against the Drillers.

Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and the Investment Industry Organization of Canada (IIROC) have issued a warning against predatory marketing campaigns and outlined the correct marketing and advertising requirements in a new document.
According to the regulators, the current crypto trading platforms’ marketing and advertising campaign strategies tends to feed on investors’ innocence by using gambling-style promotions that encourage risky trading, which is a violation of existing securities legislation.
Per the above, the IIROC President and CEO Andrew Kriegler believe that trading platforms should consider toning their campaigns to the new regulation.
In the compliance document, the Canadian authorities presented different examples of dangerous marketing campaigns. Among them are:
- Your crypto assets are safe with us because we meet all regulatory requirements as a fully licensed Money Services Business under Canadian legislation.
- Our platform is consistently rated the safest and most trusted platform by leading rating agencies, including Digital Bitcoin Rating Service and Triple-A Crypto All-Stars.
- Important Update! BTC skyrockets! Don’t get left behind!
The authorities revealed that what could be deduced from the first statement is that the registration of a platform is enough to protect users’ interests, without other regulations that must be complied with. The second statement lacks proof and has little credibility. While the third statement appears like an investment advice, which asset traders are prohibited from.
The compliance document also includes how the crypto firms should engage with their users on social media and suggests ways that marketing and advertising strategies scrutinize could be compliant with the new regulation.

I had plans to sew the rest of the gift bags and start on the T-Bird quilts today but noooooooooooo. After a restless night in which I didn't fall asleep until 3AM I was rudely awakened by a phone call at 7:45 AM from the school informing me that my step son was being belligerent AGAIN! I ended up having to walk down there which, OK , I was planning on doing anyway but at 2PM not so dang early.
Here's what I got done last night. Three bags for females with dishcloths and gum included so far. I think I am going to make up some of my CDs for their summer listening pleasure and some giant M&M cookies also lol. The men will get playing cards, gum and cookies as well as the CD.
The principal, Dr Bonds, gets a T-Bird Crazy Quilt and I will give a second one away as a Grand Prize. Good thing I work best under pressure.

When asked my views about looking forward for retail, the honest answer is: “I’m really not sure that I know.”
We can all make educated guesses, but I cannot remember a time when we have been faced with such uncertainty as when we – hopefully – re-emerge from lockdown on a permanent basis over the next few months.
‘Non-essential’ retail stores have reopened. There may well be some initial euphoria – just look at the advance bookings for restaurants – but there is a great danger in interpreting this period of trading as a trend in either the longer or even the medium term.
Putting aside the disruption created by Covid, the macroeconomic situation isn’t great. Economic growth was difficult before the pandemic – UK GDP grew by a mere 1.4% in 2019.

The Boston-based market research and advisory firm Lux Research predicts that one-third of all meat consumed in 2054 will be derived from plants, with a substantially reduced role for traditional meats and livestock products on our plates and menus. Companies devoted to transforming the meat industry have raised hundreds of millions of dollars and attracted investments from the largest venture capital firms in Silicon Valley, as well as notable business magnates from Bill Gates and Richard Branson to Jack Welch and Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed. In recent years, big food has gotten involved, with notable equity investments into alternative plant-based proteins from Tyson Foods, Cargill, Nestlé, Maple Leaf Foods, ADM, and many more. Concerns about issues like environmental sustainability and human health are the drivers behind the growth in this market, but ultimately, investors recognize the opportunity for big returns.
Nation’s Restaurant News, Datassential, and Mintel have all repeatedly highlighted the movement of consumers toward plant-based eating. A recent Nielsen survey found that 22% of Americans plan to eat less meat in the future. In a 2017 Mintel report, 30% of Millennials report that they eat meat alternatives every day, while 50% eat meat alternatives a few times per week. It’s important to note that only 5% of those Millennials were vegetarians. This means that plant-based meat alternatives are largely being eaten by people who also eat animal proteins, rather than as a pure alternative for vegetarians and vegans. This is not a shift by a niche demographic, but rather from a wide swath of the U.S. public.
Meat alternatives can take the form of legumes, nuts and seeds, as well as finished products made from proteins found in soy, wheat, pea, and other grains. Tremendous progress and innovation has been seen in recent years by food manufacturers, which are embracing technology to create alternative products that are great-tasting and affordable. Companies like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat have disavowed the nomenclature and scientific limits of the “veggie burger,” creating what they are calling “plant-based meat” (meat, made from plants) that mimics the taste, mouth feel, and experience of all-beef patties. Options also include plant-based chicken, fish, cheese, egg, and even sashimi! Hundreds of meat, dairy, seafood, and egg alternative products are available via foodservice distributors like Sysco for the creation of plant-based entrées.
On the retail front, the plant-based food sector (foods that serve as replacements for animal products) tops $3.1 billion in U.S. sales within grocery stores, drug stores, and mass merchandisers, an 8.1% YOY increase; this is compared to a decline of .2% for all foods sold in the same channel. So, the consumer demand is real.


Government is taking the required steps and has made elaborate plans to improve the production of cotton in Tamil Nadu disclosed the state handloom and textiles minister OS Manian. Proactive measures have to be taken in wake of the recent unavailability of cotton and its soaring prices.
The minister was interacting with weavers from all the nine southern districts. The new handloom support scheme was being discussed at the interaction.
According to the minister, “Nearly 61% of the spinning mills in the country are in Tamil Nadu. But the state produces only 5% of the required cotton. The remaining 95% is brought from the northern states. Change in climatic conditions and other factors have resulted in the drop in cotton production, due to which cost of a bale has escalated from INR 24,000 to INR 51,000.”
The Tamil Nadu chief minister took note of the situation and recently held a meeting with officers from different departments. The chief minister emphasized the need to improve cotton production disclosed Manian, adding that the sericulture department is chalking out a plan to increase silk production to enable Tamil Nadu to be self-sufficient.
The minister also talked about setting up Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETP) to address the effluent issue that was affecting water bodies besides the common man, weavers and the textile industry. The minister pointed out that they met with stiff resistance from the public when they learnt that there is a proposal to set up a CETP in their locality. At present the government is offering 49% subsidy for the establishment of CETPs.
The CETP at TIrupur has been set up at a cost of INR 700 crore and has received a subsidy of INR 175 crore besides an interest-free loan of INR 200 crore. In the near future, the government is willing to set up any number of CETPs, he said.

- This event has passed.
Zoe the Seed @ The Jazzy Rainbow
21 October 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm| R70
This performance by Zoe the Seed at The Jazzy Rainbow is part of the Concerts SA Venue Circuit which aims to foster a love and support for live music in our communities, as well as anchor small and medium sized venues in urban and rural Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape.
Durban’s longest-running jazz lounge, The Jazzy Rainbow, in association with Concerts SA, launched its first straight jazz programme on the eve of Heritage Day in September2016 and is following up with the same concept in 2017. “#JazzyStraightAhead is about introducing regular, live, straight jazz concerts to our city in order to help keep the music alive,” says Oliver-Rene Haas. “
Zoe the seed is a Swazi born vocalist and song writer. Upon finishing her higher school education she enrolled at the University of KwaZulu-Natal to study Jazz and popular music. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in performance for jazz and popular music. Ever since she started taking Jazz classes, a whole new perspective of music was born within her. Every performance carries diverse sounds that symbolizes that certain moment. The music can be very experimental since she has many influences from soul to jazz classics, reggae, rock and gospel. Her vocal expressions tackle the deepest emotion to the listener since her writing is influenced by everyday experiences people go through. The lyrical content promotes love, respect and stands against women and child abuse. She is currently working on fusing different styles like jazz, soul and hip hop music with her original music.
“Next time you get a chance, make sure you go to hear Zoe the Seed. I had the pleasure yesterday at the BAT Centre, and what a show – Salim Washington
Zoe the seed has had the opportunity to be a drummer in an all-female jazz band based in Durban, Heels Over Head. The band, Heels Over Head, were nominated for the MTN 2011 SAMA awards, for best jazz album. Heels over Head won the Yamaha talent search in 2010. Zoe took part in composing songs for the independently recorded album COULD IT BE in 2010. Zoe has been involved in quite a number of Gospel projects as well, but her love is Jazz. She has taken her band to one of the most recognized jazz festivals in Swaziland. The repertoire she covers is mostly her own compositions which are mostly written in her mother tongue, SiSwati and a few covers. The compositions have a huge influence in African jazz.
Vocalist Zoe Masuku creates a beautiful sound and energy. Her voice has the clarity and power of such superstars as Celia Cruz and Clementina DeJesus, Aretha Franklin, but not really like any of them, definitely her own sound. The music is not only beautiful, but it is also well executed with craft and soul.
The band is smoking also, Zibusiso Makhathini on keyboards playing deftly and effortlessly, Bethuel Tshoane always finding a climax in any solo that he endeavours, Sbu Zondi playing Afro pop and modal grooves with jazz-like precision, and Dalisu Ndlazi who has bonded with the electric bass.
The showcase is on Saturday 21st October, the show begins at 7pm and the entrance fee is 70 Rand including a free drink (T&C)
Bookings: phone 031-3038398 or email email@example.com
Concerts SA is a joint South African/Norwegian live music development project housed within the SAMRO Foundation.

Gramsci, in the so-called “Lyon Theses”, adopted by the 3rd Congress of the Communist Party of Italy, illegally held in Lyon in January 1926, precisely explains the historically established situation of the Italian workers' movement at that time: "In Italy, the conditions of birth and development of the labor movement before the war did not allow the formation of a Marxist left trend of constant and long-lasting nature. The original character of the Italian workers' movement was very confused; different trends merged in it, from Mazzini's idealism and the undefined humanitarianism of cooperators and supporters of Mutualism, to Bakuninism, asserting that even before the development of capitalism in Italy there were conditions for a rapid transition to socialism. Due to the late formation and weakness of industrialism, the clarifying factor of the existence of a strong proletariat was lacking; because of that, also the anarchists' split-off from socialists occurred with a twenty years delay (1892, Congress in Genoa).
In the Italian Socialist Party, after Genoa congress, there were two main trends. On one side, there was a group of intellectuals, which represented nothing more than a tendency towards the democratic reform of the state: their Marxism did not go beyond the intention to raise and organize the proletarian forces for serving the establishment of democracy (Turati, Bissolati, etc.). On the other hand there was a group, more directly related to the proletarian movement, representing the labor trend, but devoid of any proper theoretical consciousness (Lazzari). Until 1900 the party did not put before itself any purposes other than democratic. After the conquest of the freedom of organization in 1900 and the beginning of the democratic period, the inability of all its constituent groups to give it the physiognomy of a Marxist party of the proletariat became evident.
In addition, the intellectual elements were increasingly detaching from the working class, while the attempt by another group of intellectuals and petty bourgeois to create a Marxist left wing in the form of syndicalism was not successful. As a reaction to this attempt, in the party triumphed the fundamentalist fraction. With its conciliatory empty verbosity, it was an expression of the main characteristic features of the Italian labor movement, also explainable with the weakness of industrialism and the lack of critical consciousness of the proletariat.
Revolutionarism of pre-war years also maintained this feature and never managed to go beyond its indefinite popularism towards the construction of the party of the working class and the application of the method of the class struggle. Inside this revolutionary trend, even before the war, began to stand out an “extreme leftist” group that supported the theses of revolutionary Marxism, but was not able to have a real impact on the labor movement because of its inconstancy.
This explains the negative and ambiguous nature of the opposition to the war by the Socialist Party. It also explains why, after the war, the Socialist Party was facing the growing revolutionary situation, without having decided or set none of the major issues that the political organization of the proletariat must decide in order to achieve its goals: first of all, the question of “choosing the class” and a suitable organizational form; then, the question of the party program, the question of its ideology and, finally, the strategic and tactical questions, whose solution leads to a cohesion around the proletariat of those forces, which are its natural allies in the struggle against the State, and leads it to the conquest of power. A systematic accumulation of experience, capable to contribute positively to the solution of these questions, in Italy started only after the war. Only at the Livorno Congress the foundation was laid for the creation of the class party of the proletariat. To become a Bolshevik Party and to fully carry out its function, it must eliminate all the anti-Marxist tendencies that traditionally affect the [Italian] labor movement”.
In the 16th Congress (Bologna, October 5-8, 1919), the Socialist Party decided to join the III International, but kept a formal internal unity, which actually prevented the adoption of a clear and coherent policy. At the congress four draft of resolution were colliding: Maximalists, led by Giacinto Menotti Serrati, were setting the goal of establishing a socialist soviet republic and, with an undeniable mechanistic determinism, were asserting the inevitability of the socialist outcome, without excluding the participation in elections; the proposal by Costantino Lazzari set the same goal, but argued that action should be limited to legal methods of struggle; the right wing of the party, Left Reformists with Filippo Turati at the head, on the contrary, were not sharing the applicability of the Soviet model to Italy and were not believing in a revolutionary way out of the crisis, therefore the struggle had to be limited to requirements of higher wages and improved living and working conditions, while socialism remained the final but distant goal, towards which Socialists should strive by the gradual penetration into the State and the other bourgeois bodies through elections and a parliamentary tactic; last, the draft of resolution by the leader of Communists-Abstensionists, Amadeo Bordiga, also set the goal of the socialist soviet republic, but unlike the Maximalists was considering the socialist outcome not inevitable, but achievable only by an active revolutionary struggle with no participation in elections and bourgeois democracy; moreover, it was requiring the Reformists to be expelled and the party's name to be changed into Communist Party. After a three-day discussion, primarily about the attitude towards the right wing of the party, the resolution by Serrati won the majority.
Because of the concerns of Serrati and Lazzari, the Congress approved the alleged unity of the party and did not solve the question of the exclusion of Left Reformists, as the internal Communist minority was claiming in compliance with the conditions for the admission to the Comintern. "Any organization wishing to join the Communist International must consistently and systematically remove from any positions of responsibility in the labor movement (party organizations, editorial staffs, trade unions, parliamentary fractions, cooperatives, municipalities etc.) Reformists and supporters of the “center” and replace them by trusted Communists, without being embarrassed by the fact that sometimes it is necessary first to replace “experienced” leaders by ordinary workers”.  Further: "Parties wishing to belong to the Communist International must recognize the need for a complete and absolute break with reformism and the policy of the “center” and promote this rupture in the widest circles of party members. Without this, a consistent communist policy is impossible.
The Communist International unconditionally and categorically demands to implement this rupture in the shortest term. The Communist International can not accept the fact that notorious reformists, such as Turati, Modigliani and others, had the right to be considered members of the III International. Such a procedure would lead to the fact that the III International to a large extent would be like the deceased II International”.
Participation in bourgeois institutions led opportunists and reformists to class collaboration and the perception of parliamentary democracy as the only existing political horizon, and this disorganizes the workers' class and undermines the trust of the working masses in the Socialist Party. Lenin, who had already welcomed the exclusion of the right-reformist group of social-chauvinists (Leonida Bissolati, Ivanoe Bonomi, etc.) at the 13th Extraordinary Congress of the Party (Reggio Emilia, 1912), has repeatedly emphasized the need to decisively break with them.
In fact Serrati and Lazzari did not understand that exactly the preservation of the formal unity was paralyzing and weakening the party, while a rupture, by removing the party elements who were sabotaging the revolution and collaborating with the bourgeoisie, would have made it politically stronger.
The actual inactivity of the Socialist Party, swinging between the inconclusive revolutionary phraseology of Maximalists and the conciliatory, law-abiding and opportunist practice of Reformists and the GCL [General Confederation of Labor] leadership, led to the formation of an embryo of Marxist revolutionary organization of Leninist orientation even before the XVI Congress. The most organized cores were formed in Naples, where in December 1918 Amadeo Bordiga founded the weekly magazine “The Soviet”, and in Turin, a city with a large number of metalworkers and mechanics, where on May 1 1919 a group of young socialists (among them Antonio Gramsci, Palmiro Togliatti, Umberto Terracini, Angelo Tasca) founded “L'Ordine Nuovo [The New Order], weekly magazine of socialist culture”. Around the two editorial boards workers, intellectuals and young socialists gather, on a position of criticism of the GCL and Socialist Party's leadership.
From the initial intellectualistic and anthological formulation, set by Angelo Tasca,  that Gramsci auto-critically portrays as a “review of abstract culture, abstract information ... a product of mediocre intellectualism, disorderly looking for a realistic approach and a way to action” , “L'Ordine Nuovo” changed its character. Joining the fire of real struggle and establishing close links with Turin proletariat, it became the center of the theoretical analysis and practical organization of the class struggle, focusing on what will become one of the major strategic questions of the proletarian revolution in Italy: the development of factory councils, as the fundamental core of the socialist state. "The question of the development of the Factory Committee became the central question, the [central] thought of L'Ordine Nuovo; This was posed as the main issue of the workers' revolution; it was the question of proletarian freedom L'Ordine nuovo became for us and our followers the journal of factory councils”.
In the meantime, the III International and Lenin, who followed with great attention the developments of the situation in Italy, took a well-defined position on the debate in the Socialist Party: "… We just have to tell the Italian comrades that the direction corresponding to the direction of the Communist International is the one of “L'Ordine Nuovo” members , rather than the one of the present majority of the Socialist Party leaders and their parliamentary fraction”.
Already in the spring of 1919 a massive wave of strikes and unrest swept the peninsula. Initially aimed generically against the rise of food products prices, unrest gradually gained greater sharpness and started to lay more specific claims: an eight-hour workday and higher wages. More and more often, solidarity with Soviet Russia and the intention to follow it model was being expressed during demonstrations. The government of Prime Minister Francesco Saverio Nitti gave the prefects of the Kingdom the order to allow economic strikes, but firmly repress any political strike. Before the powerful workers and people's protests manufacturers almost immediately gave way to reduce working time to eight hours a day.
On 20-21 July of the same year a general strike, involving all categories of workers including state employees, was declared in support of Soviet Russia and against the military intervention of the Entente and its allies. The internal left wing of the Socialist Party and the anarchists wanted a strike of indefinite period of time with an insurrectional nature, but the moderate GCL leadership imposed the observance of legality, rejecting any revolutionary development of the strike and refusing to proclaim its time indefiniteness. This is one of the clearest examples of cooperation between the trade union leadership with the state and government of the bourgeoisie, in accordance with the instructions of the Prime Minister Nitti. The Government's position is clear: promoting the collaboration by the “parties of order”, repressing “subversive elements”, using in repressions private armed groups as the newly formed fascist movement.  The moderate and complicit position of the reformist trade union leadership, which was disorienting and demoralizing the masses of workers, tearing their revolutionary mood, is less clear. Nevertheless, the ability to mobilize and the fighting spirit of the Italian proletariat considerably frightened the bourgeoisie.
While landowners and industrialists, with the complicity of the government and the Crown, were stepping up their support to the newly formed fascists, used against the workers and peasants' movement, the Catholic Church also mobilized against the spread of socialist ideas among the people. The indication of Pius IX non expedit [it is not advisable], formulated in 1874, was expanded and tightened by the Holy Office in 1886, under the pontificate of Leo XIII (non expedit prohibitionem importat [inadvisability implies a ban]), forbidding Catholics to participate in the political life of Italy in response to the end of the secular sovereignty of the Pope, due to the country's unification into the Kingdom of Italy. In 1919 the ban was canceled by Benedict XV and, in the same year, the priest Luigi Sturzo along with other Catholic intellectuals founded the Italian People's Party, catholic and inter-class oriented, based on the social doctrine of the Church, marking in such a way the return of Catholics to active political life. Gramsci exactly understood the role of the new party: "Catholicism by this does not compete neither with liberalism nor with the secular state; it competes with socialism, it stands on the same ground of socialism, as socialism it addresses to masses”.
In the elections of 1919, held for the first time in the history of Italy with the proportional system, the Socialist Party became the first party in the kingdom, obtaining 32.28% of votes. The newborn People's Party, which received 20.5% of votes, became the second party. Traditional liberal democratic and radical parties lost their majority of seats in the parliament. This meant the sunset of parties of the Risorgimento era [Resurrection, the period of liberation from foreign domination and formation of the national state], which were representing just electoral committees of the leaders of the various sectors of the bourgeoisie, and the rise onto the political arena of modern mass parties. Governments in this parliamentary term, however, still remain under the control of the traditional parties, but with the participation of the People's Party and the Socialist Reformist Party, founded by Bissolati after their exclusion from the Socialist Party in 1912. The Communists of L'Ordine Nuovo clearly indicated how it was necessary to take advantage of the electoral success, and what they had to strive for: "It is impossible to carry out the Communist revolution through a coup ... it is necessary the revolutionary vanguard by its own means and ways to create material and spiritual conditions under which the owners' class will no longer be able to peacefully manage broad human masses, and will be forced by the intransigence of the socialist members of the parliament, controlled and disciplined by the party, to terrorize the masses by blind strikes, bringing them to revolt. Today, this goal can be sought only through parliamentary activity, understood as an activity which tends to immobilizing the Parliament, to tearing off the democratic mask from the ignoble face of the bourgeois dictatorship, revealing all its horror and disgusting monstrosity”.  It comes to participation only in elected institutions of the bourgeoisie in order to avoid the possibility that the proletarian masses "were deceived and made believe that it is possible to overcome the present crisis by parliamentary activity and reforms. It is necessary to aggravate the gap between classes, it is necessary that the bourgeoisie proved its absolute inability to meet the needs of the masses, it is necessary that the latter became convinced by their own experience that there is a sharp and merciless dilemma: either death by starvation or ... a heroic superhuman feat of the Italian workers and peasants to build the proletarian order … Only because of such revolutionary motivations the conscious vanguard of the Italian proletariat plunged into the electoral contest and firmly established itself in the parliamentary fair. Not because of democratic illusions, not because of reformist softening, but in order to create the conditions for the victory of the proletariat and ensure the success of the revolutionary efforts aimed at the establishment of the proletarian dictatorship, embodied in the system of Soviets, outside and against the Parliament”.
Nevertheless, the Socialist Party did not satisfy the requirements by L'Ordine Nuovo Communists, and proved to be unable to develop effective tactics to successfully take advantage of the success the elections in favor of the proletariat. Instead of developing the parliamentary struggle in the direction indicated by Lenin and Gramsci, the Socialist Party will continue to waver between revolutionism in word and “parliamentary cretinism”  in facts.
On the other hand, the indecision of the Socialist Party, its reformist leaders' open collaboration with government and class enemy, the moderation and inertia of GCL were irritating the working class. In early August, the workers of Fiat-Center factory removed the old Factory Committee and elected a new one, which was including advanced workers. It was a clear challenge to the GCL leadership and, at the same time, a first step towards the formation of factory councils.
The Confederation of Industry at this time was preparing a revenge and looking for a pretext for confrontation with the working class, with the intention to win by any means and totally. For this reason they provocatively refused to discuss the issue of wage increases.
On March 22, 1920, in connection with the entry into force of the daylight saving time, the Factory committee of FIAT-Metallurgical Plants asked the management to correspondingly move the beginning of the working day one hour later. Having received a refusal, workers on their own initiative moved the clock hands one hour back. In revenge the management fired out three members of the Factory committee and demanded six members of the trade union committee to be deprived of the right of eligibility for one year, provocatively violating the “proletarian civil rights” and the independence of internal decision-making of the working class. The clock hands were just a pretext: in fact, the conflict was related to the powers and the role of factory committees that were turning into factory councils. The real goal was to smash workers and cancel their class autonomy and the institutions in which it was embodied.
In response, a strike of solidarity was declared on March 29, which will go down into history as the “clock hands strike”. On April 14, the struggle spread all over the region of Piedmont, turning into a general strike involving workers of other sectors. The Socialist Party and trade union leaderships, this time too, rejected the request by the factory councils and the group of “L'Ordine Nuovo” to expand the fight, involving into it all the categories of workers all over the national territory and bringing it up to a revolutionary outcome. With no support from the the Socialist Party, and under the threat of 50.000 soldiers intervention, sent by the government to protect the city, on April 24 the workers ended the strike without having achieved anything and came out of the confrontation defeated. Gramsci commented on this conflict's result: "Turin working class was defeated and could not fail to be defeated. Turin working class was drawn into the fight; it had no freedom of choice, it could not postpone the day of battle, because the initiative in class war still belongs to capitalists and the bourgeois state power … The wide capitalist offensive had been carefully prepared, and the “general staff” of the working class did not notice, did not take care of it: this lack of organizational center became a condition of the struggle, a terrible weapon in the hands of industrialists and the government, a source of weakness of local leaders of the metallurgical sector. Industrialists carried out actions with the utmost skill. Industrialists are divided among themselves due to profit, economic and political competition, but before the working class, they become a steel block ...”.  Workers suffered a heavy blow, but did not hang their head: "Turin working class has already proven that it did not came out of the fight with a broken will, with a broken conscience. It will continue the struggle on two fronts. The struggle for the seizure of state and industrial power; the struggle for the conquest of trade union organizations and proletarian unity … It is necessary to coordinate Turin with the revolutionary trade union forces throughout Italy, to establish an organic plan of renewal of the trade union apparatus, which would allow the masses to express their will and push the trade union itself into the field of struggle of the III Communist International”.
In the aftermath of proletarian demonstrations on May 1, brutally repressed by the Royal Guard, and a new strike against the rise of bread price, on June 9 1920 Prime Minister Nitti resigned and the king charged eighty-year-old Giovanni Giolitti to form a new government.
On June 18 1920, IFMW [Italian Federation of Metal Workers] dispatched a request for adjusting wages to the increased cost of living. Following the example of IFMW, other professions' trade unions did the same. Industrialists replied with a categorical refusal and, on August 13, interrupted the negotiations, whereupon IFMW decided to apply the tactics of white strike: production rate and output slowdown, abstention from piecework, strict application of the rules of labor safety, without resorting to sabotage.
Determined to fight until victory, industrialists took counter measures. On August 30, 1920 Mechanical Plant Officine Romeo & Co. implemented a lockout. The same day, workers reacted by the armed seizure of metallurgical and mechanical factories in Turin. On August 31, the Confederation of Industry declared the lockout all over Italy. From that moment on, plants seizures quickly spread from Turin to Milan, Genoa, Florence, Bologna and Naples factories, meeting the spontaneous solidarity of other sectors' workers, particularly railway workers, dockers, farm hands and rural wage workers. In seized factories workers assumed the production management, formed the first detachments of the Red Guard, entrusted with protecting plants and, if necessary, fighting against the army, and started to produce military weapons to continue the fight.
This time the government took a course of mediation between workers and industrialists, with the purpose to move the conflict to a purely trade union level and avoid armed clashes, pending the exhaustion of the fighting mood of the movement, counting on the help of the reformist leadership of the GCL.
At this time, the Socialist Party and the GCL were forced to address the question of how and to where to lead the movement, which in fact turned out to be much more advanced than its leaders.
From September 9 to 11, the Estates General of the Proletariat gathered in Milan. On September 9, the Executive Committee of the GCL discussed the issue of the general insurrectionary strike. The reformist majority of trade union leaders voted against this hypothesis and insidiously suggested their own resignation in lock step and the transfer of their executive mandates to revolutionary-oriented leaders, if they agree to take this responsibility. The Communist fraction, there represented by Togliatti, did not fall into the trap, clearly understanding the purpose of this plan: to provoke a revolutionary initiative, isolate and sabotage it, allowing to crush it by force of arms, and then accuse the revolutionary leaders of irresponsibility and adventurism, displaying them to the masses, as the culprits for the failure. Actually an expectation of success of an insurrectionary attempt could be ensured only by a widespread and organized presence, coordinated at the national level, what the Communist fraction in the Socialist Party did not have yet.
The offer of resignation was reiterated at the joint meeting of the GCL Executive Committee and the Secretariat of the Socialist Party, held on September 10. In it, the secretariat of the Socialist Party, like Pilate, decided to leave the decision to the GCL National Committee , scheduled for the next day.
Consequently, two resolutions were submitted to the National Committee: one was proposing to transfer the leadership to the Socialist Party, for it to lead the movement to a revolutionary outcome for the fulfillment of the socialist program-maximum, while the second, promoted by the GCL Secretariat, was setting the sole goal of achieving an increase in salaries and the acceptance by the owners of the trade union supervision in factories. The latter resolution got the overwhelming majority, ratifying the refusal to turn the factories seizure into the proletarian revolution. The Socialist Party, on the basis of the Pact of alliance with the GCL signed in 1918, could still take on the leadership of the movement by an act of authority. On the contrary, it refused to use this right, as its secretary Egidio Gennari openly stated, de facto getting out of the match and the struggle.
Realizing that the Socialist Party and the GCL had left aside any revolutionary intent, Prime Minister Giolitti deployed his mediation activity and on September 19, 1920 GCL and Industry Confederation signed a preliminary agreement, providing for salary increases and regulatory improvements on the subject of vacations and layoffs, in return for ending the seizure of factories, and continuing production. It was also provided for the government to prepare a bill on workers' supervision, which, among other, was never completed. The final agreement was signed in Milan on October 1, 1920, after the return of the seized factories to their owners.
The workers' struggle was the main, but not the only social turmoil of the Red biennium. In the agricultural areas of the country, including South, there were numerous cases of land seizures by farm hands and permanently hired laborers with violent clashes with landowners, who were increasingly using the fascist black-shirts for intimidation and repression of the rural proletariat. Unrest spread even to the army, which was frequently used as a reinforcement of the Royal Guards to contain and repress riots. There was a lot of cases of ordinary soldiers siding with strikers. In Ancona, during the night of June 25, the soldiers of the 11th Bersaglieri Regiment [high mobility elite infantry in the Italian Army], after disarming and capturing their officers, revolted against sending troops to Albania according to the London Pact. Violent battles started with Carabinieri and Royal Guards, who were tasked with the suppression of the rebellion. Ancona workers rose up on the side of Bersaglieri and soon fights spread to the Marche and Umbria Regions. While railroaders were blocking the way to Ancona, in Milan a two-day strike in solidarity with Ancona workers and soldiers was declared, and in Rome a termless strike started, despite the contrary opinion of the GCL. To suppress the rebellion, the government decided to use the navy. On June 28, after a heavy naval bombardment, the rebellion was suppressed. However, the Bersaglieri's revolt contributed to the withdrawal of Italian troops from Albania and the signing of Tirana treaty.
A few years later, Gramsci will comment the heavy political defeat, which the Red biennium ended with: "Italian workers, by seizing factories, as a class have coped with their tasks and functions. All questions posed to them by the needs of the movement, were brilliantly solved. They could not solve the issues of supplies and communications because the railroads and the fleet had not been captured. They could not solve financial problems because banks and trading companies were not seized. They could not solve major national and international issues because they did not seize state power. The Socialist Party and the trade union had to deal with these issues, but they, on the contrary, shamefully capitulated, invoking the backwardness of the masses as an excuse; in fact, the leaders, not the class, were undeveloped and incapable. Because of this in Livorno the split occurred and a new party, the Communist Party, was founded”.

After a lot of digging and a little gluing, two salvaged junk signs were born.
HOME was created with links from a necklace, a watch hand, camera lens, initial M pin, and part of a picture hanger. How about a necklace chain and toggle clasp for hanging?
I love the natural crackle finish on this old board.
I thought this driftwood board would be perfect for another COTTAGE sign. This one is made with miscellaneous bits of door hardware, drawer pulls, a typewriter ruler, and a few mystery pieces.
It's even pointing in the direction of the cottage --->
I'd love for you to stay connected with My Salvaged Treasures. I'm just one click away.

Five days after 4.9-magnitude quake, another tremor strikes south of Palm Springs
A 3.4-magnitude earthquake struck near Anza on Wednesday night, five days after a 4.9-magnitude temblor struck the same area,
The quake was reported about 10 miles east of Anza at 10:14 p.m, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The community is located about 40 miles southwest of Palm Springs.
Since the initial quake, several aftershocks were reported in the 2.6- to 3.7-magnitude range.
Last week, Lucy Jones, a California-based seismologist, said on Twitter the Anza tremor was near and perhaps on the San Jacinto fault, which spans more than 120 miles and is near communities such as San Bernardino, Hemet, Anza and Borrego Springs.
On Tuesday, she called the aftershocks "normal."
Earthquake:The Big One is likely overdue in the Coachella Valley, where major earthquake faults connect
Fault:San Jacinto fault, more active than San Andreas, could produce damaging quake sooner than thought
