Why won’t China wholly break with its past?
There is a tension between the old and new in China, but more than in any other country, the Chinese reference their history constantly.
If China becomes economically all-powerful, what will happen to the world?
China won’t become more Western as it grows more powerful. Instead, the world will grow more Chinese. With economic power, China will expand its soft power abroad as well.
What’s China’s most vital interest?
One of the most important things for the Chinese is holding their country together. Each time they failed to, they suffered. They know it.
Even if their government makes an unfavourable decision, the people will support it?
For the Chinese, their state is intimate—like a family member. People accept the state’s authority in China in a way that they don’t in India.
Farther from India’s centre, it’s more chaotic.

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk Has Moved to Texas
The face of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk, has confirmed that he's moved to the Lone Star State.
After selling a number of his Los Angeles homes and making no secret of how upset he is with how California lawmakers have handled the COVID-19 pandemic, the billionaire confirmed to the Wall Street Journal this week that he now lives in Texas.
According to techcrunch.com, Musk's SpaceX headquarters will remain in Hawthorne, California, while Tesla's will remain in Silicon Valley. The company's primary factory is currently in Fremont, California.
If you look at it kind of makes sense for him to move here, because a number of SpaceX and Tesla projects are here in Texas already, and cities like Austin Dallas and Houston are seeing growth in technology according to TechCrunch. Back in July, Musk even announced plans for a massive factory in Austin.
This isn't a surprise seeing as he filed a lawsuit against a California county after fighting with health officials on whether his factory in Fremont California could reopen while a California stay at home order was in effect
Guess that no state income tax played a part too, huh?

Burleigh Heads QLD
A beaut compact urban coastal camp up on the Gold Coast. The emphasis is on water based activities utilising the easy access to the beaches which are famous for great surf as well as the laid back atmosphere.
A mostly timber structure built in the 1940’s, it is set in a quiet cul-de-sac positioned high up on the forested slopes in suburbia. The way the camp integrated with the neighbouring property’s gave it an appearance that it was just another local house in the street. Once you are inside the property, things start to open up, and like most camps I visit you get an instant feeling that a lot activity goes on at this camp. The surrounding landscape is a mixture of tropical vegetation and typical lush Queensland bushland.
Built in a similar style to that of a Queenslander house, it almost feels of if you are in a tree-house, with winding pathways and decks interlinking each of the several buildings. The bunk rooms, are nicely integrated into the buildings. It amazed me just how they could sleep up to 120 on site, but after viewing the accommodation, it confirmed it, as the rooms, are airy, bright, spacious yet tucked away neatly under the recreation rooms, and dinning areas or they where terraced about the property.
Apart from the performing arts stage, indoor games and a basketball hoop, the main focus of the camp is outdoor education and water activities utilising the easy access to the ocean.

MILFORD, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school has elected two female students as its homecoming royalty instead of having a male king and female queen.
Students Abbey Stropes and Trinity Miller were elected to the top spots of Milford High School’s homecoming court at Friday night’s football game. Both girls held scepters instead of wearing crowns.
According to a statement, the eastern Cincinnati suburb’s school will use the term “Homecoming Royalty” instead of king and queen from now on.
The school says they made this change in terminology to ensure every student feels included.

Words: Rae Witte. Illustration: Sam Liacos.
Let Drake tell it, we could all become wildly successful from wreaking emotional terrorism on each and every one of our exes while vulnerably documenting it.
Unfortunately, despite all our love for the boy, in no way shape or form is this even a tiny bit remotely healthy for you, your ex, or your pockets, because truthfully, the majority of us can’t perpetually benefit from eternally repeating the same mistake.
Every relationship is different, as is every break up. Therefore there is not a one-size-fits-all lesson in doubling back on an old lover, nor is there a black and white, simple yes or no answer whether or not you should or shouldn’t go back.
It seems some individuals operate on a one shot sort-of basis, meaning they firmly believe once the relationship is over, there’s no reason to go back. “Never sleep with an ex. It’s never as good as you remember it being when you were together! It’s always been an epic fail for me. It’s better to keep awesome memories and move on,” Barbara Torasso, 36, shares.
Majority of us can’t perpetually benefit from eternally repeating the same mistake.”Rae Witte
There is an undeniable allure and familiarity in rekindling something that once was good, if not great, and give it another go. Elizabeth Maulhardt recalls a time she broke a rule of hers of getting back with an ex. “We had been broken up for about five years. No one was mad about anything anymore (or so I thought), so the whole thing seemed harmless,” she says. She confirmed that it is clear getting back with an ex in any capacity is not her thing. “Things started taking a turn when he would make comments during sex like: this is all mine,’ ‘I knew you missed this,’ and ‘I had been waiting to get back together with you.’ Excuse me? That [last] one ruined the mood for me. I started to pull away because I could see where this was going.”
While she looks at it as slipping up, she’s back to having zero interest in revisiting an old relationship. “I have never once in my life slept with an ex. I always claimed that when I was done with something I was done, and this proved to me that it was something I would never do again. NO MATTER WHAT,” she explained.
Never sleep with an ex. It’s never as good as you remember it being when you were together.”Barbara Torasso
Meanwhile, Ethan Duval* recalls a time that he went back to an ex that felt like there was something unfinished about the relationship. “We met one summer in Barcelona and then kept in contact and flew to each other’s cities roughly every three to four months. It worked out for me mainly because of the career I had, being a light designer for a touring performer made it easy to get to me in the U.K. It’s weird because since we broke up we went through many periods of not speaking to each other, initiated by either of us at one time or the other. In hindsight, we kind of left off at a honeymoon phase and never had a chance of a long, face-to-face relationship. I think we still missed and cared for each other to a degree. I’m not typically a person who would ever see getting back with an ex appealing. I’m very much of the mind of moving forward, but I do remember then and there diving off the high board.” [Laughs.]
The reasons we go back differ. Where some may look to nostalgia, second chances, or lust, others fall to naiveté of a young heart. Maya Abraham, 24, shares, “He initiated the return because he wanted closure and I felt I owed him that, at the time. Looking back, I definitely didn’t owe him shit. I ended it because it was what was best for me, and it’s as simple as that. If I could take that last encounter back, I would. He truly ain’t shit and he’s now blocked from contacting me.”
However, Abraham recognizes this isn’t a blanket course of action for all exes. “I’ve considered going back to a few of my exes, and I have tread the line of messing around intimately or flirting salaciously with my exes. In the end though, it’s not cool to fuck with someone’s head with the back-and-forth, plus it’s a waste of time when you both could be out with someone new. Now at 24, I embrace new, uncharted territory. I make sure my intentions, and theirs, are clear, and that we both know where we’d like to go,” Abraham says.
I know I don’t want to be with this person now, but who’s to say it won’t work out later.”Jacolyn Carrasco
Similarly, 25-year-old Jacolyn Carrasco remembers going back to an ex strictly for sex, but it didn’t come without heartbreak. “I remember being so broken when this person and I broke up. He wasn’t very appreciative of me during our relationship, so I broke up with him. Now the tables have turned and I’m strictly in it for sex,” she says. “He definitely wants to get back together. It’s crazy to think how sad I was about this person. The smartest advice someone gave me was, ‘Just because it doesn’t work out right now doesn’t mean it won’t later.’ I know I don’t want to be with this person now, but who’s to say it won’t work out later. This relationship helped me realize that a lot. There’s nothing wrong with fucking your exes.”
The hurt, the distrust, the toxicity the relationship left behind can be too much despite thinking we really want to be with this person.”Rae Witte
Mikelle Street, 27, feels similarly, but after sleeping with an ex he recognizes his boundaries. “I have learned that I can separate emotion from sex, and you need to know that about yourself before you go back. If you cannot or are in a place with ant ex where you can’t separate one from the other, you can’t do it.” He remembers a time someone he used to date said he didn’t want to go without the physical aspect of their relationship. Neither did Street. “We started having sex again and he started doing things like bringing over sushi or wanting to spend the night or he’d want to take a bath. He wanted to go to the movies, and I was like ‘Uh, no. Nope. You need to choose.’ I can’t have him treating me like a boyfriend. You’re not taking me on dates. You’re not gonna cuddle me. I know that when you start treating me like that again, I’m going to have emotions.”
And sometimes, probably more times than we’d like to admit, we go back and simply can’t handle it. The hurt, the distrust, the toxicity the relationship left behind can be too much despite thinking we really want to be with this person. “I initiated the return,” Carlos Reyes* shares, although his ex broke it off the first time and “like 10 other times.” He remembers that “it ended because she said I was crazy and aggressive with trust issues.” Reyes seems to have learned about himself in hindsight, but admits it isn’t enough to fully change his ways. “Out of all my exes, I liked this one, and I was aggressive with all [of them]. I would definitely get back with her even though we’re not good for each other. I learned that I was never gonna change.”
You have to take responsibility for the consequences that may come with sleeping with an ex, because let’s not forget … you’ve been here before.”Rae Witte
Not all breakups are bad, and not all relationships are irreparable. This doesn’t mean you should have sex, but it also doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. Some of us know better and yet even go as far as to advise friends not to go back to their trifling ex, knowing damn well if a certain someone hit us with an apology, a phone call, a late night “wyd,” hell, even a triggering Instagram like, we’re definitely down. (“Call me crazy, but at least you call me,” Drake sings in the distance).
At the end of the day, you have to be honest with yourself and your ex. You have to take responsibility for the consequences the may come with sleeping with an ex, because let’s not forget … you’ve been here before.

By The Nice Jewish Girl
A Jewish-American peace activist once told me that her experience coming out as a Lesbian was far easier than coming out as a supporter of Palestinian rights.
Last week’s events in two of New York’s Jewish Museums provide a sad example of what it’s like for a Jewish-American who’s labeled as “Anti-Israel” or even “Anti-Semitic” by members of your own community.
One event involves the acclaimed gender theorist, Professor Judith Butler, and the literary works on Franz Kafka.
Butler, a Jewish-American and a strong critic of Israel’s policies regarding the Palestinian people, was scheduled to lead a discussion on Kafka at the Jewish Museum in New York on March 6.
Butler has lectured and written extensively on Kafka. However, the museum faced intense criticism from facets of the Jewish community for its selection of Butler.
The furor over Butler stems from her support of BDS—the boycott, divestment and sanction movement. One prominent Israeli artist and playwright, Professor Dahn Hiuni, has gone as far as to petition the university where he received his doctorate to remove all references to Butler from his 2005 dissertation. “I cannot help but come back to the irony of her name,” he said. “Judith, Jewess, from Judea. It’s so ridiculous.” For those of you who, like me, are not up on their Biblical knowledge, the irony Hiuni is referring to is that, in the Book of Judith, the one who defends her Jewish compatriots from foreign enemies is named “Judith”.
However, as a Jew, I firmly believe that speaking out against this occupation is actually the very best way to support one’s Israeli “homeland.” Spending time in a West Bank refugee camp and in the home of a Palestinian family living amidst the Israeli Settlements in Area C of Hebron (frequently cited as one of the clearest examples of the occupation’s consequences), I have seen the brutality of this occupation and, in my view, there’s nothing patriotic or “Jewish” about supporting it.
And, despite the backlash from Hiuni and others within the Jewish Community, the museum initially seemed to share my view. In what I saw as a highly brave effort, the museum defended their decision by saying: “Dialogue and the sharing of multiple perspectives related to art and Jewish culture are central to The Jewish Museum’s public programs.” But, shortly after, Butler canceled amidst pressure and the museum removed the talk saying “debates about her politics have become a distraction making it impossible to present the conversation about Kafka as intended”.
Then, in this same week, another New York Jewish museum canceled a talk by New Republic senior editor John Judis—ironically, another Jewish-American with (a variant of) the name Judith.
Judis was scheduled to give a talk at New York’s Museum of Jewish Heritage on his new book, Genesis: Truman, American Jews, and the Origins of the Arab/Israeli conflict. The book has garnered harsh criticism for making the claim that Palestinian concerns should be treated with the same importance as Jewish ones. Inspired by the Reform Jewish tradition, Judis writes that he has taken the stance that “an American Jew should be as concerned about the rights of a Palestinian Arab as he is about the rights of an Israeli Jew”. Yet, apparently, this basic value is too radical for some members of the Jewish community, resulting in yet another cancelled talk.
Frankly, as a Jewish-American academic that often speaks out, however insignificantly, against Israel’s policies, this terrifies me. And so, here I am, writing this under a pseudonym and wondering if there’s still a place for this “nice” Jewish girl in the larger Jewish community.
Categories: Judaism, NEW YORK CITY, Politics
Its easy to have an opinion this way or the other, but this conflict is a complicated issue with legitimate clams on both sides. Yes, the occupation is terrible, but there is much more to it (like critical security issues). I think that it is not outrageous to expect a Jew not to speak out against Israel in such a blunt matter in the same way that it would be understandable that Palestinians would be frustrated over one of them speaking out against the Palestinian cause. By this I am referring the “we are the good guys they are the bad guys” kind of talk. Obviously there is no issues with criticizing specific aspects of the conflict like condemning terror attacks or the ongoing construction in the West Bank no matter which group you belong to.
“…..Why on Earth would you want to be called Lorretta-stan?….”
Well, well, well. Look who decided to grace us with his/her presence? Maha Garuda. Well, it’s about time. (slow clap).
Sorry. I spent a week in Oahu at the JW Marriott resort…BTW why didnt my link appear under my text? Has the Maha Garuda been shunned ? Also, I live in San Diego County, decidedly not New York
We are looking for a tenant in our 1 bedroom studio at $800./mo…its 75 and sunny today so ya know…I am on the computr box
Hey. I saw that link for a hot second and then it disappeared on my end, too. Not sure. Maybe relink?
Also, it’s thirty degrees out and cloudy. Keep us NYCers warm with comments!
Also, being in CA is no excuse not to read this awesomeness!


By PSW Staff • January 18, 2018 beyerdynamic's TG Wireless Manager At the NAMM Show 2018, beyerdynamic is introducing a new software program called TG Wireless Manager that can centrally monitor and control wireless systems with a network interface. The clearly structured, intuitive user interface, combined with meaningful feature naming, makes it particularly simple to use. In addition to the remote control, the TG Wireless Manager enables the calculation of intermodulation-free frequency set-ups – not just for beyerdynamic systems, but also regarding products from other market players. beyerdynamic systems can also be configured offline, allowing multi-channel setups to be created easily prior to an event. Useful user groups can be configured for beyerdynamic wireless systems such as the TG 1000 digital premium product. The RF environment conditions can be monitored continuously during live applications with the TG Wireless Manager thanks to an integrated scan function. The radius of action that can be covered reliably can be determined conveniently by means of a “walking test.” The TG Wireless Manager interface offers a professional layout with a discreet design for a clear overview and quick navigation, even in low-light environments. The “Layout” menu item allows users to adjust the display of individual channels to individual needs. Each channel can be assigned its own color and a freely selectable image, thus allowing users to organize the work interface even more efficiently. By using different tabs, users can create different displays that meet individual preferences – for example, important and less important channels can be separated. TG Wireless Manager supports drag-and-drop technology and includes common file management options. Channels can be given individual names and each channel’s settings (frequency, transmission power, etc.) can be adjusted. Additional information that is independent of the actual name (e.g. the routing of the radio channel on the stage box) can be stored in the software as an add-on. After preparing in offline mode, a project created with the TG Wireless Manager can be activated using the “Go Online” button. Settings can either be transferred from the project to the connected devices or, conversely, they can be transferred from the devices to the project. As soon as a transmitter is switched on, all the information about the transmitter in use that is required for monitoring, is displayed on the channel interface, including the HF and AF level, battery status, transmitter type (handheld/beltpack), the name assigned to the channel and the transmission frequency. The HF coverage can be tested easily on-site by means of a “walking test.” This function is displayed in a separate window, which can be positioned anywhere on the screen. After selecting the desired channel, walk around the required radius of action with the relevant transmitter. The software records the HF level of both antennas, making it immediately clear if there are individual positions where there is no satisfactory radio coverage. The TG Wireless Manager offers the option of scanning the HF spectrum to detect possible interference (for example due to DVB-T). The frequency range and desired resolution are to be determined before starting the scan. Users can carry out either a single scan or a continuous scan. Scanning can be stopped at any time. The “Save” button saves the result, either as an image or as an Excel file. Of course, the scan data can also be used to perform a frequency calculation. A multi-channel frequency setup can be calculated under the “Frequency calculation” program tab. All beyerdynamic wireless microphones will be recorded in the software along with their frequency parameters and can be used directly. Third-party systems can either be set up on their own or else are already available. Every setup can be calculated with a balance between the highest possible number of channels and the maximum transmission reliability across three security levels. Potential interference, for example, caused by DVB-T, can be stored in advance or based on scan data, meaning that a reliable setup is always calculated. The TG Wireless Manager is available free of charge for Windows computers and is available for download from the beyerdynamic website. A macOS version will also be available as a free download shortly. beyerdynamic Tagged with: Beyerdynamic IEM Microphones NAMM Product Software System Wireless · all topics Subscribe to Live Sound International Subscribe to Live Sound International magazine.

Cheated to Stop Steiger at Rice County Fair Tractor Pull
It was a very unique Truck and Tractor Pull Saturday evening at the Rice County Fair. When I got there about 6:30 the pulling sled was there but I heard that the promoter had not shown up. In addition there were only a few tractors and trucks in the pit in front of the Grandstand. The President of the Pulling Association was there and he said there were commitments that there would be 21 trucks and tractors at the Rice County Fair. Instead there were only a few.
Apparently there were 4 other Truck and Tractor Pulls within about 150 miles of Faribault so that I am sure was one of the reasons. However, talking to the President of the Pulling Association there was another major reason so few pullers came to our Truck and Tractor Pull, COVID-19. Pullers cannot get the parts they need to keep the tractors and trucks running.
Just the night before 3 of the pullers blew their engines. The parts they needed were still on a ship waiting at a port to be unloaded and shipped! Then even 2 of the tractors that were at the Rice County Fair had something go wrong during the pull and were done for the night! However, with some quick thinking by Rice County Fair Board members they were able to get some farm tractors to join in the pull.
P J Ducene had his Steiger four wheel drive farm tractor at the Fairgrounds to help with getting the track and infield ready for the different Grandstand Events. The sled operator did not think he would be able to stop the Steiger four wheel drive. It had duels all the way around, yes 8 big tires for traction and a Cummings 900 cubic inch diesel engine producing around 360 horsepower.
So, they sprayed water near the end of the track thinking the Steiger would spin out easier. The Steiger kept going, so finally the operator locked up the wheels on the back of the sled to stop the Steiger! P J also brought in his John Deere 4010, John Deere and 4620 and hooked on the sled. I am not sure if others enjoyed seeing these farm tractors pulling but I sure did! Especially when you saw they outpulled some of the tractors on the Professional circuit.
I am pretty sure other fans enjoyed watching a couple of the trucks there with jet engines too. It was fun to see the flames shooting out of the exhaust cones. I talked with one of the drivers that had 2 jet engines on it. He said each had 900 horsepower and were from a Huey Helicopters. These were Pratt and Whitney turbo-shaft engines. Without getting too technical they functioned like a jet engine only the energy from the hot escaping gasses was converted to shaft energy (to turn the rotor) rather than thrust.
It was not your typical Truck and Tractor Pull. But I sure enjoyed watching the farm tractors right off the farm compete with the Professional Pullers. I think many other pulling fans and farmers did too!

Multiple Deaths at Boys’ Home Were No Accident
June 28, 2012
A Roman Catholic brother administered a deadly overdose of medication to 37 severely handicapped boys at a home for the disabled in the Netherlands 60 years ago, the Dutch public prosecution office has confirmed. On the heels of a castration scandal in the church this spring, a deeply macabre cold case has been solved.
Murder, manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter. Thirty-seven counts. Those are the charges that would have been brought against Brother Andreas if he were still alive and if the statue of limitations had not expired.
The public prosecutor in the Dutch city of Roermond reports that Andreas, who belonged to a congregation called the Brothers of the Holy Joseph, put the permanently bedridden boys to death one by one, shortly after they arrived at the home between 1952 and 1954.
The public prosecutor's report, released this morning finally clarifies a sharp spike in deaths during that period at the Saint Joseph's home in the tiny southern hamlet of Heel.
Brother Andreas himself wrote in his memoirs that he had acted with the permission of his brother superior at Saint Joseph's, and in his writings he never expressed any regrets, according to the prosecutor's report.
If the staff medical doctor at the facility in Heel were alive today, he would be charged with forgery for issuing 37 death certificates falsely indicating death by natural causes.
The "Injection Brother"
The report details the worst crimes within Dutch Roman Catholic institutions since the sexual abuse scandal erupted in 2010. It does not specify the actual cause of death of the 37 youngsters, but calls it probable that the boys died of an overdose of medication, either morphine or Phenobarbital.
The statue of limitations for the criminal acts described in the report expired in 1972. The main "suspects" in the case are dead. Brother Andreas, who was known at Saint Joseph's as the "injection brother," died in 1997 and lies buried in Westvleteren, Belgium.
The Dutch public prosecution reports that several other brothers at Saint Joseph's were aware of what Andreas was doing. In 1954, at the very moment that the labor inspectorate was to begin an investigation into abuse allegations, Andreas was moved to another facility.
The spike in deaths in Heel came to light last year when the Deetman Commission, which was investigating sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church, found suspicious evidence in the archives of the diocese of Roermond. The commission turned over the case to the public prosecutor’s office.
Amid a public outcry, the prosecutor launched a fact-finding inquiry last May, putting six investigators on the case. It was announced at that time that no criminal prosecutions would be possible.
As the story gripped the country, Nico van Hout, former head nurse at St Joseph's, told investigators from the prosecution office about a conversation he had when he was hired in 1969. An elderly nurse, a monk named Augustinus, took him by the arm to the infirmary and showed him the coffin storage rooms and the "death room."
False death certificates
Augustinus claimed his predecessor had personally killed 20 of the boys "to put them out of their suffering," Van Hout said.
Nico van Hout told the prosecutors he then went to the staff medical doctor at St Joseph's and confronted him with the story. The doctor told him the situation had been "a real headache." When Van Hout asked him what he meant, he said that "you could write 'heart failure' on a few of the death certificates, but you couldn't keep on filling in the same cause of death."
Aside from the deaths by overdose, the prosecution office's report also cited documentation of rampant physical and sexual abuse by the brothers at Saint Joseph's. Less severely disabled boys were slammed against walls, choked, and hit in the face with a ring of keys. At night they were put to work in a makeshift factory in the cellar where they produced light bulbs for Philips.
The Dutch authorities at different levels were aware of the deaths, exploitation of children and other abuses as early as 1954, but none reported them to the police or prosecution service. The prosecutor's report says the facts were covered up by successive directors and management of the Saint Joseph's home, superiors of the Brothers of the Holy Joseph, the state labour and public health inspectors, and the state child protection authority.
The diocese of Roermond, responsible for the village of Heel, was also aware of the deaths and helped to cover them up, even though it was aware of the likelihood of foul play, the public prosecutor's report says. Even by the standards of that day, the prosecution service adds, it was "unacceptable" that the diocese took no further action.
The labour inspectorate informed the diocese it would not report the deaths to higher authorities "so as not to harm the Catholic cause." Correspondence cited by the prosecution also indicates that the Secretary General of the child protection authority offered to ensure that the justice ministry "would not raise a stink" about the severe physical punishments meted out at Saint Joseph's.
The cover-up even extended to the Dutch government in The Hague. A high-ranking Catholic official at the justice ministry was informed in 1954 of the punishments and child labour taking place at the home. He wrote to the bishop of Roermond that if "a good solution" were found, "the minister would be willing to refrain from taking steps against Saint Joseph's."
The prosecution service informed all of the victims' next of kin of its findings prior to releasing today's report.


Many reputation management firms have made a living out of criticizing Yelp and TripAdvisor, and some of them have crossed the line and gotten into the fake-review writing business themselves. There are reputation management firms with integrity out there, but these 19 companies are not among them.
XVIO, a reputation management and SEO company, tells potential customers that it can use its “army of highly regarded bloggers, journalists, and reviewers” to generate “the HIGHEST volume of 5-star reviews.”
The New York City-based company “posted hundreds of fake reviews of clients on consumer-review websites,” and was one of 19 reputation management, SEO and client firms, including charter bus company US Coachways, fined by the New York State Attorney General and ordered to cease writing fake online reviews.
eBoxed, also known as Zamdel Inc., was another company caught up in the sting. The Attorney General’s Office stated eBoxed “posted more than 1,500 fake reviews of clients on consumer-review websites such as Yelp.com, Google Places, Yahoo! Local, Citysearch, Judy’s Book, and InsiderPages.com.”
The 19 companies agreed to pay fines ranging from $2,500 to nearly $100,000, and pledged to cease being involved in the fake review business. In addition to XVIO, eBoxed and US Coachways, the companies included Laser Cosmetica, Swam Media Group, A&G Wig Fashions, Platinum Dental, Body Laser Spa, The Block Group, Bread and Butter NY, Envision MT, iSEOiSEO, Medical Message Clinic, Metamporhosis Day Spa, Outer Beauty, Stillwater Media Group, Swan Media, Utilities International, The Web Empire, Webtools, and West Village Teeth Whitening Service.
The investigation of Swam Media Group, the licensee of Scores “gentlemen’s club franchises,” uncovered the fact that one of its freelance writers penned 175 fake reviews of the strippers at Scores in New York City and scoreslive.com.
Many of the fake-review efforts included IP spoofing and establishing hundreds of fake online profiles in attempt to get away with the review fraud, the Attorney General’s Office stated.
The sting, in which representatives of the AG’s Office posed as a Brooklyn yogurt shop owner looking for help in combating negative reviews, targeted only New York-based companies, but points to what is undoubtedly a global problem.
“Multiple studies conclude that online reviews can make or break companies,” the AG’s Office stated.
Companies such as Yelp and TripAdvisor state they use technical and human means to weed out fake reviews, but with aggressive tactics by firms such as those caught up in the scandal, fictional reviews undoubtedly slip through the cracks.
The Attorney General’s Office singled out Yelp for having a particularly robust system to counter fake reviews.
TripAdvisor states that one advantage it has in countering fake reviews is scale. In other words, a handful of fake reviews won’t skew the TripAdvisor Popularity Index if a hotel has attracted hundreds of reviews.
“Consumers rely on reviews from their peers to make daily purchasing decisions on anything from good and clothing to recreation and sightseeing,” New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said. “This investigation into large-scale, intentional deceit across the Internet tells us that we should approach online reviews with caution.”
Scheiderman said prosecutors are equipped with many tools to attack what amounts to false advertising and “put an end to it.”

A Kindle is reading in its purest form. There's no going back (without a lot of fuss,) no flicking , no leaving your thumb in a page as you read on and no page numbers. You just read what is on the “page” in front of you and then you read the next one and the next one until they stop appearing.
But for the Kindle I would never have even started Plutarch's Lives.
The first hint of what I had taken on was when after two weeks the progress line at the bottom told me I had managed just 3% of it. Had it been in book form I would've never picked it up, but by then I was hooked so it didn't matter.
Plutarch Lives is a series of very readable short biographies of famous Greeks and Romans. He pairs them up, one Greek and one Roman and then compares them
Here is why.
“It must be borne in mind that my design is not to write histories, but lives. And the most glorious exploits do not always furnish us with the clearest discoveries of virtue or vice in men; sometimes a matter of less moment, an expression or a jest, informs us better of their characters and inclinations, than the most famous sieges, the greatest armaments, or the bloodiest battles whatsoever. Therefore as portrait-painters are more exact in the lines and features of the face, in which the character is seen, than in the other parts of the body, so I must be allowed to give my more particular attention to the marks and indications of the souls of men, and while I endeavour by these to portray their lives, may be free to leave more weighty matters and great battles to be treated of by others."
For us, it is of course a huge deposit of Greek and Roman history. (and there are a great many battles of course.) It is certainly more than just stories, he acknowledges his sources and comments on their reliability throughout the work. The comparisons are all his own and I have to say the weakest part, he tends to favour the Greek and particularly Spartans and draws conclusions that are less than obvious.
Here are some of the more famous people he covers and compares;
Theseus and Romulus (mythical)
Thermistocles and Marius
Alcibiades and Coriolanus
Nicias and Crassus
Agesilaus and Pompey
Alexander and Julius Caesar
And of course The Mob, that cruel and headless entity that builds up and destroys at a whim, is ever present and very dangerous (Like the tabloid press only with real knives.)
My favourite character is the less well known Phocion, urbane and ironic, a prototype Englishman, keeping his head when all around are losing theirs, able to quell the mob with a disdainful glance that made them love/hate him. Once when addressing the citizens of Athens in his usual acerbic way, the crowd applauded. He looked puzzled and asked.
“What! Have I inadvertently said something foolish?
You've got to like him.
I found the Roman Lives absolutely fascinating, as you read on, a tale of slow but complete moral decline is revealed, where the desire for honour in great men is gradually replaced with base lust for power, and politics became such a bloody business that it was kill or be killed.
The Greek story is a bit different, they simply wore themselves out bickering fighting each other.
I enjoyed this work, it is not literature but it drew a lot of threads together for me. You come across parts that Shakespeare or Bettany Hughes or even Hollywood must've referenced. It is also a fascinating study of human nature, and of the quirks of fate and fortune that steer the path of history.
I'll give it 7/10

Marketing automobiles usually focuses on getting the public excited about the total package, but every once in awhile an engine itself becomes a bigger attraction than the car it powers. The modern-day HEMI V8 in use by Chrysler and Dodge are a perfect example of how successfully marketing an engine can drive up auto sales. Chrysler has just announced that it's produced its 1,000,000th HEMI V8 since the engine was reintroduced in the 2003 Dodge Ram 2500. The bulk of HEMIs produced are the 5.7L, though SRT products like the Chrysler 300C SRT8 use a larger 6.1L version producing 425 hp. Displacement-on-demand is also now a standard feature on most 2006 models using the engine. The article from Canadian Driver also contains the take-rate for the HEMI broken down by model. For instance, 67% of all Dodge Chargers are being delivered with the beastly motor. The Dodge Ram 2500 in which the modern-day HEMI first appeared has a take-rate of only 14%. So next time you see a Chrysler product at a stoplight you won't have to ask "That thing got a HEMI?" It probably does.

GUILFORD – The new town hall and highway garage proposal has been trimmed by nearly $1 million and won’t raise taxes, one Guilford official says, but will that be enough to satisfy voters come Nov. 6?
In less than two years the project has been revised twice and voted down twice, but that doesn’t lessen the need for the new facilities, says town councilman Bruce Winsor.
A public hearing on the building proposal is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 22 at the Guilford Town Hall. A second hearing will also be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 25 at the Mt. Upton Fire House.
The proposition was last defeated Nov. 7, 2006, by a vote of 364 to 280. Winsor says 249 other voters went into the booth that day, but failed to pull the lever.
“We need this building project. We’re outgrowing what we have, and what we have isn’t safe. We have a building that is falling down,” Winsor said. He compared the situation to owning a home: “It’s like when you have a house; you have to keep it up. You have to make repairs.”

Early this year, Morgan announced that the production of their flagship Plus 8 model will end along with the utilization of the naturally aspirated BMW V8 in their cars. That end also marked a new beginning as the company hinted us with a completely new sports car, and recently, some details have made their way to the Autocar website including the car's internal name and a few other details.
Internally the car is know as the 'Wide Body' and the production car's name is most likely to change like the McLaren BP23's (Speedtail's) name did. This car will be very special for Morgan as it celebrates the 110 anniversary of the company and will also mark the end of the V8 era. In addition, the aluminium chassis will be substantially stiffer than previous models and the new sports car will be the most dynamic car ever made by Morgan.
At the end of the video above, Morgan dropped a Christmas present for people who were left wondering about the engine that will be used The engine note is very familiar, especially if you spend your day watching videos of the BMW M4's and RS5's engine note. So it's most likely a turbocharged six-cylinder engine which makes sense. Less emission and a decent amount of power.
The new model will slot between the Roadster, Plus 4 and 4/4 and the Plus 8 model as the British firm clearly stated that the new car will not be a direct replacement for the Plus 8 or Aero 8. More interestingly, the company has future plans for a flagship model to replace these models. Although we don't know when exactly to expect them, but I definitely can't wait!
Graham Chapman, Morgan's technology director described the 'Wide Body' project as a "Culmination of several years of unprecedented development in design and engineering for Morgan. This has produced the most advanced development programme in Morgan's history, the results of which we cannot wait to share with our customers worldwide." Let's hope it will be as good as we think it is.

Whilst the fabric for my wedding dress languishes in a bag waiting patiently to be sewn (soon, my lovely, soon) I have tarried with other projects, namely the oliver + S birthday party dress.
I’ll admit that I was reluctant to spend quite so much money on a pattern, but rationalised that if I traced it off I could get a few year’s use out of it, which in my head made it so much more reasonable priced. I’m very glad I did.
The pattern is lovely. Printed on sturdy paper with clear markings and wonderful instructions, it shows what can be achieved with patterns if you take the time and actually give a crap about your product and your customers.
Sadly the same can’t be said of the fabric, which is a hideous but practical polyester that is washable but simply refuses point-blank to hold a pleat! I made a size 2, but would make the next size up next time to give her a little more growing room. And I’ve lots of the fabric left, so will probably draft a new front without the pleats to use this up. They are the perfect dress for nursery.
Button loves the dress, despite the failings of the fabric, and I love the pattern. I see more of these in our future. Just not in nasty polyester!!!!

Some estates are on my “must/need to visit” list and one such producer is Domaine Denis Bachelet in Gevrey-Chambertin, as he in my view produce some of the best and most delicious Burgundies today.
These are very charming and delightful wines – with a silky style and attitude they are delicate and finely made with a gentle and light hand.
The 2017s here are beautifully made – somewhat lighter than the more serious 2016s – displaying the pretty and charming fruit of 2017. Gorgeous wines with expressive and delicate fruit – the 7 days cold maceration really work well at this estate – giving very sensual and expressive wines.
The estate Denis Bachelet
Domaine Denis Bachelet is a rather small estate located just east of the D974 in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin.
Denis Bachelet took over from his grand parents back in 1981 at a very young age, and since the estate has been one of the secret gems of the appellation – well known by collectors – difficult to find – and never really in or out fashion like the extracting colleagues of the 1990s.
‘La finesse avant Tous’ – ‘finesse before all’ is according to Jasper Morris the motto of Denis Bachelet, and this very much true for the 2017s I tasted at the estate.
As mentioned the estate comprise 3.99 ha of vineyards.
- Aligote: 0.18 ha
- Bourgogne Rouge: 0.61 ha
- Côte de Nuits Village: 0.95 ha
- Gevrey Chambertin: 1.23 ha
- Gevrey Chambertin Les Evocelles 0.17 ha
- Gevrey Chambertin Les Corbeaux 0.42 ha
- Charmes Chambertin 0.43 ha
All are wines of finesse – from the Bourgogne to the mighty Charmes Chambertin – transparent, gentle and delicately delicious – with a zen like balance and a effortless expression.
The 2017s from Domaine Denis Bachelet
The yields were quite fine in 2017 after the frost problems in 2016, that reduced the harvest with about 30% at Domaine Denis Bachelet.

CNN puts up a list of Europe’s Star Cities which were considered marvels of Renaissance engineering, and that includes the small town of Zamość in Poland, which is a nearly perfectly preserved model example of an ‘ideal’ 16th-century renaissance town.
Zamość is named after its founder, a wealthy Polish nobleman, Jan Zamoyski, who appointed one of the most popular Italian architects of the time, Bernardo Morando, to design and build a town for him. Thanks to its fortified walls surrounding the city, Zamość survived armies over the centuries and its Renaissance buildings inside the walls were well protected. The city is praised as the Pearl of the Renaissance and the Padua of the North, and it is one of the few cities in the world that were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a whole!

Three in four people in America grade health care costs a #fail, at grade “D” or lower.
This is true across all income categories, from those earning under $24,000 a year to the well-off raking in $180K or more, we learn in Gallup’s poll conducted with West Health, finding that Majorities of people rank cost and equity of U.S. healthcare negatively.
Entering the fourth quarter of 2022, several studies were published in the past week which reinforce the reality that Americans are facing high health care costs, preventing many from seeking necessary medical services, and hitting under-served health citizens even harder in the economic downturn that so many U.S. families are facing vis-à-vis inflation for food, energy, and housing prices — three basic needs in the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs that drive well-being.
I’ll weave in several of these reports’ findings in the Hot Points below with links to this important research.
First, to the Gallup/West Health findings: here’s the top-line report card in the first chart from the study, which was conducted among over 5,500 U.S. adults in late June 2022.
Across four categories or ratings, only quality of care garners a majority of good-or-excellent grade, but still manages only an overall C+.
Cost of care ranks at bottom with a D-, followed by equitable care receiving an overall D+ mark.
Health care costs continue to prevent millions of patients from seeking care in the current inflationary economic environment which has exacerbated Americans’ medical self-rationing behavior.
The second bar chart illustrates that women as well as Black and Hispanic Americans are more like to cut back on health care to pay for household expenses.
It should be no surprise to you, then, that Black and Hispanic Americans were more likely to grade quality as a “D” or “F” in this poll.
Health Populi’s Hot Points: Even those people who have health insurance in the U.S. avoid care due to cost. The latest Robert Wood Johnson biennial survey on the state of health insurance shows that over two in five working-age people in the U.S. are under-insured even as members in a health insurance plan through work or self-paid through an insurance marketplace.
The pie chart details the picture that 23% with insurance all year were underinsured (that is, could not afford care), and 11% insured now had a coverage gap.
Thus, “health coverage has a cost problem,” another study from Gravie concluded.
Over one-half of working-age health-insured people with employer-sponsored plans delayed or canceled a medical exam or procedure due to cost. Furthermore, most of those who delayed care had negative health consequences from doing so, with 15% of folks reporting their condition worsened due to postponing needed care.
Gravie polled 1,000 U.S. consumers in August 2022, further learning that 80% of covered people were concerned that their health benefit would not pay for/cover their exams, treatments or procedures under their insurance plan.
In addition, 7 in 10 of these covered working consumers said their insurance did not cover mental health, and those with mental health coverage worried that the benefit would not meet their or their families’ mental health needs.
EBRI, the Employee Benefit Research Institute, also published a report which focused on the retirement confidence of women in the U.S.
Bolstering Gallup/West Health’s finding that women in the U.S. feel more health-financially vulnerable than men, EBRI discovered that women who were either never married or divorced are more at-risk of lacking confidence in having sufficient money to live comfortably through retirement.
There’s a rational, if fiscally-frightening, reason why: this bar chart from Milliman’s latest look into health care costs in retirement calculates that a healthy 65-year-old woman retiring in America in 2022 would need $194,000 saved to cover an Original Medicare plan plus Medigap and Part D for prescription drugs.
A healthy 65-year-old man would need $17K less than his female counterpart, a tidy sum of $177,000 for the Original Medicare + Medigap + Part D plans.
Health care costs are one issue that bonds right, left, and center Americans across the political spectrum.
From Gallup/West Health’s study, in this last table we see that politics doesn’t make a difference when it comes to American health citizens’ views on health care costs in the U.S. Across party affiliation, people-as-health-consumers and health citizens support limits on how much they can be charged for health care.
As we approach the 2022 election mid-terms in just a month’s time, remember that voters — and especially women who vote in the U.S. — will vote on health care issues beyond Dobbs/Roe v. Wade. Health care access also means being able to afford medical care, and these studies woven in today’s Health Populi blog tell that very current story.

I need a brief history that makes sense about Scientology?
The Birth of Dianetics started in the USA in the late 1940s. But one needs to look earlier.
In 1923, when twelve years old, L. Ron Hubbard was introduced to Sigmund Freud’s work by Commander Joseph C. Thompson, of the US Navy Medical Corp. Commander Thomson had been sent by the US Navy to study under Sigmund Freud. After this introduction to the mind L. Ron Hubbard travelled through Asia, studying and visiting Buddhist monasteries.
In 1932 he coined the word Scientology to describe his research. In 1938 he compiled philosophic writings into a manuscript, “Excalibur.” The manuscript did not contain any techniques or spiritual counselling, but was a discussion of the composition of life. His research continued.
The second-world war intervened. In 1945, partially blind and lame from hip and back injuries, he successfully applied his theories on himself and other Americans liberated from Japanese prisoner of war camps.
In 1948 he published a manuscript, today titled Dianetics: The Original Thesis, which proved very popular.
Mr. Hubbard soon decided to write a book on the subject, a full account of all his discoveries to date, a full manual of the mind, called, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health.
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health was published on May 5, 1950. It sold phenomenally well. Over 22 million copies have been sold to date.
Mr. Hubbard had discovered separate minds, which could be naturally and harmlessly accessed with simple techniques to help a person. Much of a person’s dreads, fears, irrationalities, and shortcomings could be addressed through these minds.
Mr. Hubbard found that a person could recall distant pasts, particularly birth, and the prenatal nine months. He also found that when a person recalled traumatic times from the developmental stages before birth, a person would respond well.
The book, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health outlined the simple and exact theories and procedures.
That people could recall nine months before birth was new. The technology outlined in Dianetics is simple and works. A person can get rid of their unwanted emotional symptoms, be they shyness, fear, anger, unwanted emotional outbursts, psycho-somatic (mentally generated) illnesses and more. Irrational causes in the mind have been found.
The Evolution of Scientology
While Dianetics worked precisely and positively, L. Ron Hubbard continued researching for higher states.
Since 1949 practitioners had been occasionally reporting past life memories.
In 1951 Mr. Hubbard gave a lecture on how spiritual thought could be measured by an instrument. An engineer in that audience manufactured the instrument, called an e-meter (electro-galvanometer). It was not complicated. With it the mind was available for total investigation.
These discoveries proved man was a life force, his own soul, a spiritual entity, inhabiting a body, surviving death. And by accessing past life memories containing adverse emotions, a person became more able, aware, intelligent, and potentially possible to achieve the stuff of dreams.
The first Church of Scientology was established in 1953. The Founding Church of Scientology was established in Washington DC in 1954
From the results of research into the life-force that is man, it was found that man obeyed certain laws, as did all life. These were not physical universe laws, but hitherto unknown laws of the spirit. .
In 1959 the headquarters of Scientology moved from the USA to East Grindstead, Sussex, United Kingdom, to take advantage of the communication lines reaching out of Great Britain. This became the worldwide hub of the expanding Church of Scientology. Here Mr. Hubbard continued his research. The Church of Scientology expanded into all English speaking countries plus Europe.
Today, there are over 11 million Scientologists with numbers expanding. There are over two thousand Churches, Missions and Field Groups around the world, and Scientology books and lectures are translated into over 100 languages.
Scientology is the culmination of 50,000 years of thinking men. It is an evolving religion. There is no stopping it. Its time has come.

So What WON’T Waukesha Deer Eat?
Deer pressure in Waukesha county has increased considerably in the last 10-15 years. Some areas, including parts of Pewaukee and Elm Grove, have severe deer pressure. If deer are hungry enough, they’ll try almost anything. There are many articles & reference books on this topic, but opinions and results vary drastically based on region.
It’s not uncommon to hear – “Why do the deer eat the hostas in MY yard, but my neighbor’s hostas look perfect?” Interestingly, deer are consistently unlikely to graze on slopes steeper than 30% – which explains why some hostas in hilly/steep yards in our area are untouched. Fencing, spray repellents, and dog traffic also alter deer behavior from one yard to the next.
Caging/wrapping trees helps tremendously. Correct application of repellents is useful, but the lowest maintenance and most reliable approach is to start by planting varieties that deer don’t want to eat.
For your consideration: There are some other, important factors that must be taken into account when selecting plants and sites for plantings. Don’t forget to consider the amount of light present in the desired planting area (full sun, part shade, shade); the presence of black walnut trees (juglone tolerant plants are needed if you have black walnut trees); and lastly, rabbits. Many Wisconsin landscape plants that are deer resistant are (unfortunately) attractive to rabbits. When in doubt, CAGE IT OUT!
Here is a list of our top, consistent performers for Waukesha yards with heavy deer pressure:
Green Velvet Boxwood and Green Mountain Boxwood are the two varieties that we love to plant in our Southeast Wisconsin landscapes. They are a broadleaf evergreen shrub that has small round leaves that stay green all winter long. These two varieties are both compact. Green Velvet is rounded, reaching a height of 3 to 4 feet fall and spread to about 3 feet wide. Green Mountain is pyramidal and grows taller, with age. Deer tend to leave this low shrub alone, which makes this a great selection for hedges, mass plantings and accents in the garden.
Allium, also known as flowering onion or ornamental chive, is an herbaceous perennial with a tall flower stalk held atop a low mound of narrow, dark green foliage. Allium have interesting globe shaped flowers that range in color from pink to lilac purple, and vary in height (18 inches to 3 feet) depending on the variety. Our favorites are Millenium Allium, Globemaster Allium, Pink Giant Allium and Summer Beauty Allium. This fragrant perennial is great for attracting butterflies, and the deer tend to leave this one alone.
Walker’s Low Catmint is one of our go-to perennials that is perfect for group plantings and border edges. It has masses of beautiful, lightly-scented lavender purple flowers that spike above its grayish green foliage. Catmint is dense with a mounded form that reaches about 24 inches tall and spreads to about 24 inches wide (and beyond, if space permits). Catmint is great at attracting butterflies to your yard. It is not tasty to deer, who tend to leave this herbaceous perennial alone.
There are a wide variety of ornamental grasses to choose from when planning your landscape – lower, mounding varieties like sedges, tufted hair grass, blue fescue or Japanese forest grasses; upright varieties like maiden grasses, moor grasses or bluestems; and the upright varieties that have great plumes like feather reed grasses and fountain grasses. Whichever grass you choose, it will provide some added texture to your landscape and a huge advantage is that majority of them are deer-resistant! Our most requested grasses are Karl Foerster Reed Grass, Korean Feather Reed Grass, and Silver Feather Maiden Grass.
Upright Juniper: This is a superior choice for privacy screening when compared to Arborvitae, which are HIGHLY susceptible to deer damage. It is important to note that juniper require good drainage and sufficient sunlight in order to thrive. In recent years we have seen some yards where the deer are hungry enough to chew on juniper, even the very prickly/harsh textured varieties, like Star Power Juniper and Spartan Juniper.
St. John’s Wort: Ames St. John’s Wort is one of the few shade-tolerant, deer-resistant shrubs for our area. It has many good qualities, including compact form, low maintenance and golden yellow flowers in the summer. But, it is not always as resilient/consistent in urban conditions as some other plants.
Ferns: Deer aren’t interested in eating them, but ferns require reasonably rich soil and *patience*. They take several years to fill, mature, and establish. A good choice for shady, wooded yards with lots of deer. Some of our favorite ferns: Japanese Painted Fern, Ostrich Fern, Robust Male Fern
Spirea: A “bread and butter” staple that is rarely chewed on by anything. Some of our favorite Spireas: Double Play Big Bang Spirea, Magic Carpet Spirea, Goldflame Spirea

I know it’s probably hard to imagine, but Georgetown wasn’t always the bastion of Washington’s wealthy. Back in the 1930s many working class and even poor families lived in the neighborhoods now mostly occupied by lawyers, politicians and rich diplomats.
Below is a photograph from September 1935 taken by Carl Mydans. The caption states that it’s a group of young, poor children playing on a street in Georgetown. The best part is the sheer joy on the face of the kid to the left.
I wonder what happened to these children. They appear to young to be destined for the battlefields of Europe and the Pacific during World War II.
