DUBLIN, Ohio -- With every swing, Hideki Matsuyama appeared to join a cast of top players who threw away a chance to win the Memorial.
A tee shot in the water on the 16th for double-bogey. An approach over the back of the green on the 17th that led to bogey. And then a drive to the right that made the Japanese star so disgusted that he lightly slammed his club into the turf, and the head of the driver broke off.
The ball hit a tree and took one last bounce back into the fairway, and Matsuyama seized on the break. He took dead aim with a 7-iron to just outside 5 feet for birdie on the 18th hole to force a playoff with Kevin Na, and then won for the first time in America with a 10-foot par putt on the first extra hole.
"Right from the 15th hole, I had a lot of missed shots," Matsuyama said. "The double-bogey at 16, bogey at 17, not a real good tee shot -- I thought -- at 18. But when I saw the ball on the fairway on the 18th hole there, that's when I was able to think I still have a chance."
The 22-year-old Matsuyama earned validation as one of the game's bright young stars Sunday by closing with a 3-under 69 and making two clutch putts on the 18th hole for his sixth career victory, the previous five on the Japan Golf Tour. This was his first win against a field of the world's top players.
"I just think you've just seen the start of what's going to be truly one of your world's great players over the next 10 to 15 years," tournament host Jack Nicklaus said.
Nicklaus spent much of the back nine in the broadcast booth, and it was a brand of golf that was unfamiliar to golf's greatest champion. The Memorial became only the latest event where proven players faltered badly.
Masters champion Bubba Watson had a one-shot lead with five holes to play. He was 3 over the rest of the way. Adam Scott, the No. 1 player in the world, was tied for the lead until playing the last seven holes in 4 over.
"The whole thing is frustrating as I stand here right now," Scott said after his 71. "But everyone is going to feel like that. We all could have done something different. If we all did, who knows what the result would be?"
Scott fell apart by hitting one shot into the water, taking two shots to get out of a bunker and losing all hope when his third shot to the par-5 15th hit the pin and caromed back into the fairway, leading to a bogey.
Watson dropped three shots by hooking two tee shots. The most damaging was his drive on the 15th that was so high, so powerful and so far right that it cleared the trees and went into a neighborhood, leading to a double-bogey.
Needing a birdie on the 18th, his shot looked good until it took one small hop and stayed in the rough. A few inches closer and it would have fed down the slope for a short birdie chance. He closed with a 72 and finished third, moving him to No. 3 in the world ahead of the injured Tiger Woods.
"It's tough," said Watson, who was going for his third win of the year. "I made one bad decision. If I hit 4-wood off the tee instead of driver on the par 5, we make 5 and we win by one. But I made double, so we lost by one."
Na finished his round of 64 about two hours earlier. He was in the clubhouse at Muirfield Village, leaning against two pillows on a sofa as he watched the calamity unfold, even joking he might win by not hitting another shot. Thanks to Matsuyama, he had to. And it wasn't pretty.
Na hooked his tee shot on the 18th in the playoff, and it went into the creek. He still had 10 feet for bogey when Matsuyama made the winning putt. Na did not speak to reporters. A PGA Tour official tracked him down in the parking lot, and he gave credit to Matsuyama for making a great putt.
Adding to the bizarre ending was how Matsuyama played the extra hole.
It was not an angry slam of the driver after his tee shot on the 18th in regulation, and he was shocked to see the head fall off. He could have replaced the club because the playoff is not considered part of the round, but he had no replacement. Instead, he went with 3-wood off the tee in the playoff, and it went into the front bunker.
He hooked his 5-iron, hitting a spectator in the knee left of the green, and hit a flop shot safely to 10 feet.
It was the first par he made on the 18th hole all week. Matsuyama became the first player to make birdie on the closing hole at Muirfield Village in four straight rounds.
"To win my first PGA Tour event is enough," Matsuyama said. "But to win it here at Mr. Nicklaus' course, it really gives me a lot of confidence now going on. And hopefully, I'll be able to use this week as a stepping-stone to further my career."
Matsuyama became the fourth Japanese player to win on the PGA Tour, the most recent being Ryuji Imada in the 2008 AT&T Classic. The Memorial, even with Woods out with a back injury, featured the strongest field of the year outside the Masters, World Golf Championships and The Players Championship.
"I'm really, really happy,'' Matsuyama said through his interpreter. "It's a dream come true to win at Mr. Nicklaus' course.''

Visual arts as a name should be self-explanatory, yet the term evolved over the years. What this means is that it used to cover only certain arts that appease the visual sense, meaning painting, sculpture and later, printmaking (once printing became prominent enough).
Over time, the term evolved to include things like photography and craftsmanship, architecture and many other forms of art such as theatre and performance-based arts which stimulate the visual sense. It was not always like this, however, as the term “Fine Arts” dominated history for a long time, separating forms of art into different categories.
The Fine Arts Dilemma
With art nowadays being everywhere, especially online, visual arts have become even more important. Every website contains a form of visual art and so does every video you might catch on YouTube or other video-sharing website.
Back in the middle ages, a term called Fine Arts was used to separate the other forms of art from the magnificent five or rather, sculpture, painting, music, poetry and architecture. Performance-based arts like theatre and dance. This term was separate from applied arts because fine implied a more conservative and pure view of things which only a refined and upper-class mind could conceive.
Today, fine arts are a lot more liberal and put the artist forward and not the means which said artist used to express their art.
Visual Arts Today
Everything has a bit of visual today and even though many arts overlap and contain a part or form other arts, visual arts are still separated into more specific forms. Arts considered visual are painting and drawing, sculpture and architecture, printmaking and filmmaking, photography and video, design and crafts. Applied arts which fall under the category of visual arts include graphic design, fashion design, decorative art and interior design.
It is worth noting the arts other than painting, sculpture, architecture and filmmaking were considered craft and practitioners of such were not considered artists. The rigid definition of visual arts remained until the 1920s and was changed after the Arts and Crafts Movement.
Performance arts, textile arts and conceptual art include many aspects of visual arts.
A Look into the Visual Arts
Painting has its origins in times well before Christ, some 42000 years ago. Those are most often cave paintings, given how humans had no other accommodation options at the time. Over the years, many painters became prominent like Leonardo da Vinci and Van Gogh, Rembrandt and Picasso.
Sculpture is also an interesting art, being a bit younger than painting, the oldest sculpture being around 35000 years old. It is a sculpture of the Venus of Hohle Vels. Famous sculptors include Michelangelo, Donatello, Rodin, Marcel Duchamp and Picasso, once more.
The first known photograph to survive the years was made by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in either 1826 or 1827 in his estate in France. Famous photographers include Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange. In this modern age, photography is widely available to almost everyone with the evolution of smartphones and nanotechnology.
The first film was made in 1888 and is called the Roundhay Garden Scene. After that, there are countless filmmakers or directors, as they are referred to now, notably Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock Quentin Tarantino and many more.
The visual arts will soon include virtual reality products and many more things, as technology allows for new forms of expression.

Schützenauszeichnung für die Kavallerie
On the 13th of June 1871 this qualification cockade was introduced for all cavalry troops. The criteria for the award was the same as for the marksmanship lanyard for the infantry troops including the annual re-qualification. This brass cockade displayed the stylized images of a Werndl rifle and a Gasser revolver with their barrels crossed. When the Mannlicher rifle was introduced in 1895 this badge remained in use but from then on newly produced models displayed the image of the new rifle. The introduction of the Steyr pistol, slowly replacing the Gasser-revolver, in 1907 did not change the design of the badge! In 1906 it was decided that the soldiers of the k.u.k. and the k.k. cavalry should have their badges painted black in the centre and those of the k.u. (Honvéd) cavalry painted red. The newly produced badges were received painted direct from the manufacturers before being delivered but the badges of the 1st and 2nd type which were still in use by the regiments were to be painted at unit level. This was often not carried out because the soldiers much preferred the "golden" look of their highly polished badges. Similar to the marksmanship lanyard of the infantry further awards of this badge ceased when the war started in 1914.
There exists a variant pattern of this badge with a smooth instead of a ribbed edge around the centre shield. There is no explanation for this variant pattern, probably simply a manufacturer's variant. By examining the original photos in my collection all the soldiers I have found wearing this variant pattern with the smooth rim are from dragoon regiment number 15. But this could of course be just coincidence..
|1st Type badge produced between 1871 and 1895.||2nd Type badge produced between 1896 and 1914.|
|1st Type badge with centre painted black at unit level.||1st Type badge - variant pattern with smooth rim.|
|Miniature Variant Obverse||Miniature Variant Reverse|

Belonging. Umi Sinha. Myriad Editions. December 2015. 320 pp. ISBN#: 9781908434746.
Belonging is a multi-generation saga narrated by Grandmother Cecil, her son Henry and his daughter Lila. It’s the story whose Indian history parallels the love, cruelty and madness in its all too human characters. For this family are all British outsiders, accepted as masters of their Indian subjects while in reality constantly waiting for the shoe to drop with revolution and rebellion. Despite their position, the English narrators come to love this country with its lush vegetation, spicy and colorful food and dress, and the wisdom and care manifested through those who are soldiers, servants and nannies.
It takes a while to distinguish the different voices but we discover careful details of Cicely and Henry’s life in India while Lila is sent home to Sussex, England to live with her stern Aunt Mina. All of these people have lost spouses or relatives to the occasionally erupting violence in India and the reader is intrigued by the fact that with so much surrounding hostility, the main characters deny the heightened volatility of the region and choose to believe they are well-loved.
The famous siege of Cawnpore took place in 1857 when the British subjects were promised safe passage and sanctuary but instead were all brutally raped, stabbed and murdered. Cecily will intensely suffer during this horrendous event, but she leaves behind a series of letters describing their hopes and gradual realization of how they were maliciously betrayed. All those years of politeness and acting like family and loyal soldiers in reality erupted into the fight for rebels and others who wanted freedom and independence, ironic to say the least since that wish would not be fulfilled for another fifty or so years.
The above sounds like a very simple plot, but this reviewer must emphasize the beautiful and skilled manner in which this story is crafted is beyond words. Even the confusion over who is who and what events are being depicted may be seen to reflect the always confusing relationship between Indian soldiers and servants and their English masters and mistresses. The descriptions are so artfully presented that one feels one is right there in the middle of it all and the same may be said for the thoughts and feelings swirling through each event and each character’s mind and heart. For a first novel, Umi Simha has definitely displayed gifted skills in writing historical fiction. Highly recommended, great reading!

Mahindra is all set to launch the facelifted model of their most successful SUV, the Scorpio, tomorrow, in Mumbai. After lots of speculations and spy pictures being shared on the internet, the day has finally come, when the SUV will see a major update since its last facelift in 2006.
The new Scorpio is expected to get projector headlamps, a new chrome grille, fog lamps and alloy wheels. The top-end variant will get projector headlamps with DRLs, new bumper with fog lamps, a chrome grille and newly designed alloy wheels.
At the rear, the new Scorpio will sport LED tail lamps, which looks quite nice. The Christmas tree for the rear is replaced by black grab rails making the rear look tacky. The tailgate gets a new design with matte black paint around the registration plate. There are no changes to the rear bumper and spoiler, while the tailgate hinges are still visible.
The new Scorpio is expected to be powered by the same 2.5-litre m2DiCr 75bhp and the 2.2-litre mHawk 120bhp engines. The engine specifications will become clearer after the vehicle is launched tomorrow. The company had started taking bookings a few days ago on snapdeal.com, through which we got to know that the SUV will be sold in five variants - S2, S4, S6, S8 and S10.
While the latest spy pictures have revealed most of the details of the new Scorpio, there is a mixed reaction on the web. But the success of this new SUV will depend on the price, which we expect to be the same as the outgoing model.
We will be there at the launch event tomorrow. Stay tuned to CarWale for the on-road price, features, speculations and photos.

The Saxophones are a band from Oakland, California,comprising of Alexi Erenkov (vocals, guitar, saxophone, flute), Alison A. (vocals, percussion) and Richard Laws (bass guitar, vibraphone, synthesizer), whose new EP, If You’re On the Water, “pays tribute to the currents of beauty, sorrow and regret that run through our lives.”
The band say the title track is “inspired by a summer week that saw suicide, the transition of a relationship, and Alexi and his father’s nearly fatal boating accident”. Like the rest of the EP, the song has an almost ethereal feel, like the ghost of an old love song creeping through an ancient transistor radio.
“When you climbed that tree,
they should’ve never left you alone.
I wished I heard you shout.
I would’ve rushed down at the slightest sound”
‘New Tradition’ is another slow dream pop song, like a sad croon in a sparsely filled dance hall, Erenkov’s sax snaking around and conjuring an almost Lynchian, noirishly romantic vibe. Finale ‘Best Boy’ closes the EP in similar fashion, slinking along in shadowy elegance. The Saxophones make music that sounds somehow from another age, in possession of that grand melancholy found in old-timey pop songs, sounding simultaneously sad and beautiful and achingly human.
“There’s a pain in my teeth
there’s a pain in my feet
there’s a feeling of dread I can’t reach but it feels good.
I’m still young.
I swear I know how to have fun”
You can get If You’re On the Water now as a free download, or on limited edition 8″ lathe-cut picture disc from The Saxophones Bandcamp page.
A word of advice… The band say “These records are very low fidelity. Many of the sounds are distorted and unbalanced. They do not have the fidelity of traditionally pressed vinyl records. That being said, they sound wonderful (quite otherworldly) and they look great!”

Skip to comments.Why the world needs capitalism
Posted on 09/25/2017 7:14:56 PM PDT by SJackson
Our friend, O.E. MacDougal, came to visit us at Backwoods Home Magazine and to fish the rivers and the coast of southwestern Oregon. It was going to be a long, relaxing Fourth of July weekend for him. Mac, as we call him, is Dave Duffys poker-playing friend from Southern California, and Dave, of course, is the publisher of this magazine.
Whether or not communism, socialism, and fascism have any success depends on how they deal with capitalism.
I was at my desk thinking about some things while half listening to them as they sat at the editorial table in the middle of the room and talked about fishing " rods, reels, bait, places to go, and stuff like that.
Then Mac said, Youve got that faraway look in your eye, John.
I didnt intend to trigger a political conversation, but I did have something on my mind and I said, After last Novembers presidential election, Ive been wondering if the United States is becoming a fascist country.
He looked at me kind of funny for a few seconds, then said, Weve had conversations along this line before, havent we?
Dave nodded and I vaguely recalled talking about fascism in the past.
Mac said, In many ways, weve had the economic trappings of socialism, fascism in particular, in place since at least 1933. Do you recall what fascism is? he asked.
(Excerpt) Read more at backwoodshome.com ...
What we need is Free Enterprise.
We have had Monopoly Capitalism tied to government since the 1930s.
Gigantic International Corporations dominate the economic landscape to our detriment. This what many here call “Globalism” and they will sell and have sold out the US without blinking.
Yes, though free enterprise can lead to concentration of power too, that being the real problem. Of course unlike socialism, fascism, communism et al, capitalism, as a more efficient economic system, doesn't depend on centralized power to function. Only to be kept within whatever restraints the governed deem necessary.
Very good article. A straightforward way to explain the different types of economies. It should be passed out to junior high & high schools!
In point of fact there has never been capitalism that is not controlled by the state to some degree.
It is supposed to work under the laws of Pure Competition. Unfortunately, almost all the assumptions which underlay the theory has been violated - particularly that no one has any impact on the market.
You are correct that it can and does lead to the concentration of wealth if there is no intervention. Example, small groups control the vast majority of wealth in all countries and the vast majority of the population has next to nothing.
This wealth is generally inherited.
Without a large and prosperous middle class to mediate the distribution of wealth and income this dichotomy can only lead to big trouble in a democracy.
This middle class is losing its prosperity and shrinking. The only real question is when will this come to a head.
Capitalism is a marxist term designed to demonize the free enterprise, free market economic system which evolves from a constitutional republic. democracy (read that, mob rule) promotes crony capitalism. social welfare, statism, and eventually socialism. Marx outlined these stages in Das Capital. For enterprise to be free, you must preserve markets where free association is permitted and fostered. Individual rights and freedom occur only in a Republic. We have lost that battle long ago. to reinstitute would require a revolution
Most of the editorials in BHM are/were good. Unfortunately, the paper magazine is shutting down, though a web version will continue. I’ve been a subscriber for MANY years.

Erin Mendenhall leads Rocky Anderson in the hunt for money
The official nomination deadline may be months away, but Salt Lake City mayoral hopefuls have spent dollars and stashed money in campaign accounts in what could prove to be a costly contest.
The latest campaign finance reports for February show that Mayor Erin Mendenhall had about $250,000 in her campaign bankroll, eclipsing her highest-profile challenger, former two-year mayor Rocky Anderson, by about $200,000.
“From today’s perspective,” said Ian Koski, Mendenhall’s campaign adviser, “she is in a very strong position.”
From February 2022 to the same date in 2023, Mendenhall raised approximately $200,000 from prominent donors such as Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson, a Democrat, and developer Joshua Romney – son of US Senator Mitt Romney, R- Utah – who both contributed the maximum amount of $3,720 to the mayor’s campaign.
Mendenhall had nearly $140,000 in her account at the start of the fundraising period and spent $88,000 over the following year.
Anderson, who served as mayor from 2000 to 2008 and is seeking a third term at City Hall, began raising money in August. Between then and mid-February, he raised about $125,000 and spent about $75,000 during that time.
At the end of the fundraising period, he had almost $50,000 in his campaign treasury.
Anderson’s donors included entrepreneur and former mayoral candidate David Ibarra and prolific developer Kem Gardner, who each contributed the maximum of $3,720. Both Ibarra and Gardner also gave maximum amounts about their trades.
The former mayor, meanwhile, poured $10,000 of his own money into his campaign.
“I’ve been happy with what we’ve been able to gather ahead of the first reporting period and I expect we’ll be very competitive in this race,” he said, “if not with the money then certainly with our base game.”
“Always a fiscal conservative”
Anderson, who announced his candidacy in a glowing speech late last year, has criticized Mendenhall for what he calls a “failure of leadership”. He claims he has proven himself in his professional life and as mayor to address the city’s most pressing issues.
“I have the attitude that we will do everything to win this race,” he said. “That’s the attitude of our volunteers and that’s the attitude of those who funded my race.”
Anderson said he feels on a daily basis that he needs to “amplify” his fundraising, but has boasted about running a lean campaign without a consultant. He said he writes all his own social media posts, writes his own emails to supporters and has volunteers knocking on doors for him.
“I’m always a tax conservative, whether as mayor and with the taxpayers’ money,” he said, “or with the money that people have generously contributed to my campaign.”
Anderson’s largest single spend – approximately $12,000 – went to Reagan Outdoor Advertising for eight billboards throughout the Utah capital. He spent approximately $1,000 developing and producing a campaign song titled “Together” and another $5,000 producing a music video for it.
He also paid a campaign worker about $19,000, about $8,000 more than Mendenhall paid Koski’s political consulting firm Quorum Creative during the period.
Don’t get negative
Mendenhall paid her largest single expense — about $37,000 — to GBAO, a polling and political strategy firm. The company has worked with high-profile campaigns such as those of US Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., US Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., and Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.
Koski said the campaign donations the mayor has received reflect the broad support she has across the city. Backers are not only happy with the work she’s done, he said, but also with the way she’s done it.
“People are standing with her,” he said, “to make sure she gets a chance to continue running the city.
In 2019, Mendenhall raised nearly $537,000 en route to her first term. Earlier this month, she announced her re-election campaign.
Koski said Mendenhall has transformed the way the city operates and works with its partners at the county and state levels. It’s a change central to the mayor’s character, he said, and it will be a theme of her bid for a second term.
“Just like she did as mayor, we also want to run her re-election campaign,” Koski said, “walking the road, focusing on what’s best for the city and doing her best to avoid the negativity and cynicism that plagues ours.” politics really.”
Races could get expensive
Matthew Burbank, a political science professor at the University of Utah, said early fundraising and spending are higher than usual, but this election – in which an incumbent mayor tries to fend off a former mayor – is hardly typical.
“My overall feeling is that both appear high,” Burbank said. “And that’s partly undoubtedly because Rocky Anderson declared early and Mayor Mendenhall knew this was coming.”
Burbank said it was unlikely many other candidates would consider challenging Mendenhall, noting that Anderson’s early announcement may have deterred those from entering the bipartisan race.
Only one other candidate — Michael Valentine, a vocal opponent of the Utah Theater demolition — has indicated he would run for office. According to the February fundraising report, he had $16 left in his account after raising $100 from two donors and contributing $10 himself.
Burbank suspects that this year’s mayoral race will be a highly prized competition.
“Given the early tone Rocky Anderson set, it seems entirely possible to me that where this was going,” he said, “…they raise a lot of money, they spend a lot of money, they fight, and that.” will be quite an expensive race.”
The submission period for municipal candidates in Salt Lake City is August 8-15.
Since the election is carried out using a ranking list, there is no area code. The general election is on November 7th.

Date: 10 Mar 1955
Place: Liverpool Road, Ainsdale
The body of a newly-born child was found buried in a garden on 10 March 1955.
It was found by police who were searching for property that they believed was buried there and who had no idea that they would find human remains.
A Home Office pathologist that carried out a post mortem examination on the child's remains said that there was no evidence to show the cause of death or to show whether the child had had a separate existence. It was thought that the child had died between 4 and 12 months earlier. He said that the remains were in an advanced state of putrefaction and that it was partly dismembered but that there were no fractures.
He said that the body appeared to be female.
The police had gone to the house on 10 March 1955 to search for property and found the body whilst digging about ten yards from the house. The remains were found by a constable in a bundle wrapped up in sacking that had been buried at a depth of about three feet. The remains were badly decomposed and were wrapped up in a man's shirt and a woman's coat.

President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins presented US President Joe Biden with a special-edition album of Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh's most celebrated works during Biden's visit to Áras an Uachtaráin on Thursday, April 13.
Biden frequently quotes Irish poets William Butler Yeats and Seamus Heaney during his speeches and may soon add Patrick Kavanagh to his list after receiving a copy of "Patrick Kavanagh ‘Almost Everything…," a special double album released last year by Claddagh Records.
Kavanagh has a particular significance to Biden after President Barack Obama quoted the Irish poet at Beau Biden's funeral in 2015.
After meeting Biden in Dublin last week, President Higgins said he was "pleased to once again have the opportunity to discuss Irish artistic and cultural works with President Biden, and in particular our shared interest in Patrick Kavanagh - one of our greatest Irish poets whose work is so familiar to Irish migrants, in particular evoking, as it does, fields left behind and a spirit seeking freedom.”
View this post on Instagram
"Patrick Kavanagh ‘Almost Everything…'", available from Claddagh Records, was originally released in 1964. The album features the only recordings of the revered Irish poet reading his most celebrated poems.
Now remastered and reimagined, the two-part album gifted to Biden features the original recordings and Kavanagh’s poetry read by President Higgins, as well as Bono, Hozier, Imelda May, Liam Neeson, Jessie Buckley, Aidan Gillen, Lisa McGee, Lisa Hannigan, Evanna Lynch, Sharon Corr, Kathleen Watkins, Christy Moore, Rachael Blackmore, and Aisling Bea, all set to wonderful music composition.
The edition that Biden received features a booklet containing print versions of all the poetry that listeners will hear on the album.
Patrick Kavanagh, born in Monaghan, was a poet and novelist best known for works including the novel "Tarry Flynn," and the poems "On Raglan Road" and "The Great Hunger." He is known for his accounts of Irish life through reference to the everyday and commonplace.

A senior Vatican official has attacked US President Barack Obama for "arrogance" for overturning a ban on state funding for family-planning groups that carry out or facilitate abortions overseas.
It is "the arrogance of someone who believes they are right, in signing a decree which will open the door to abortion and thus to the destruction of human life," Archbishop Rino Fisichella was quoted as saying by the Corriere della Sera daily.
"What is important is to know how to listen... without locking oneself into ideological visions with the arrogance of a person who, having the power, thinks they can decide on life and death," he added.
Mr Obama signed the executive order cancelling the eight-year-old restrictions on Friday, the third full day of his presidency.
The restrictions had cut off US funding to overseas family planning clinics which provide any abortion services whatsoever, from the operation itself to counselling, referrals or post-abortion services.
Announcing the decision, Mr Obama said that for the past eight years the restrictions have undermined efforts to promote safe and effective voluntary family planning in developing countries.

Dar es Salaam. President Samia Suluhu Hassan on Saturday led Tanzanians in receiving the East African nation’s first-ever cargo plane at the Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA).
The Boeing 767-300F touched down at the JNIA around 3 PM, where it received the water cannon salute, which has become a tradition for every plane that the national carrier Air Tanzania receives.
The arrival of the freighter is expected to enable investors and businesspeople who were previously forced to export their cargo using other airlines to use the one by Air Tanzania.
Speaking shortly after the plane touched down, President Samia said the plane’s arrival resulted from Tanzanians’ prayers and hard work, urging them to keep up with the spirit.

Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) Managing Director Ladislaus Matindi said the newly acquired craft would significantly reduce costs for exporting cargo, mainly agricultural, fisheries and livestock products.
The plane, which can carry up to 54 tonnes of freight, has a range of 11,070 km, is fuel-efficient (90770 litres) and has a speed of 850km/h, according to Matindi’s explanation.
Matindi said ATCL’s evaluation of the company’s performance in the air cargo transportation market in the country had shown great hope and the demand for more cargo planes.
ATCL is transporting seafood from Mozambique to China at an average of eight tonnes per trip, Matindi said.
On Friday, Minister for Works and Transport Makame Mbarawa told journalists in Dar es Salaam that the cargo plane would relieve farmers and business people by cutting down costs for exports and imports of various products.
“The aircraft will commence operations immediately after registration and securing permits from the regulator,” Prof Mbarawa told a press conference.

According to the data Mbarawa shared yesterday, Tanzania produces 24,971 tonnes of fish, meat, flowers, vegetables, and fruit products annually, supplied to India, France, Germany, Netherlands, Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Romania and Malta.
Mbarawa complained that only an average of 420 tonnes, equivalent to 1.7 per cent, of the consignment uses the country’s airports, noting that a big chunk of it was being flown through the neighbouring airports, whose operators have cargo planes.
“We have not utilised the markets to the maximum since we had no cargo aircraft and thus making our transportation costs higher than neighbouring countries,” Mr Mbarawa told reporters.
Saturday’s arrival of the cargo plane occurred against the backdrop of talks between ATCL and Kenya Airways (KQ) over a potential cargo transportation collaboration between the two companies.
According to reports, the collaboration between KQ and ATCL is expected to create commercial opportunities and meet the demands of the global market for cargo transportation, including perishable commodities.
The buying of the cargo plane was also among the items that the Controller and Auditor General (CAG) Charles Kichere mentioned in his report for the 2022/2023 financial year, where he reported some “anomaly” in acquiring the freighter.
According to CAG, the last instalment of the payment to the plane’s manufacturer was inflated, whereas instead of ATCL submitting an invoice of $37 million, it submitted an $86 million invoice.
The revelation caused an uproar among members of the public, prompting President Samia to dismiss Mr John Nzulule, the Director General of Tanzania Government Flight Agency (TGFA), to pave the way for an investigation into the matter.

Dance and health
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Dance is an enjoyable health promoting physical activity which many people worldwide incorporate into their lifestyles today. This physical activity appeals to some who may not be active and therefore may be another alternative of exercise. Dance for health has become an important factor in the prevention, treatment and management in several health circumstances. It is not only significant for your physical health but it also contributes to your mental health and subsidizes social communication  Dance is an art which is learned from many cultures. Types of dance can entail body movements, expression and collaboration. Dance and health has been subject of a number of research studies that show dance to be a healthy exercise. However, there are a number of health risks that require attention.
Benefits of dance
Physical health and fitness
Dancing can be a way to stay fit for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. It has a wide range of physical, and mental benefits including: improved condition of your heart and lungs, increased muscular strength, endurance and motor fitness, increased aerobic fitness, improved muscle tone and strength, weight management, stronger bones and reduced risk of osteoporosis, better coordination, agility and flexibility, improved balance and spatial awareness, increased physical confidence, improved mental functioning, improved general and psychological well being, greater self-confidence and self-esteem, and better social skills. Most forms of dance may be considered an aerobic exercise and as such reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, help weight control, stress reduction, and bring about other benefits commonly associated with physical fitness. In addition, studies have demonstrated a considerable correlation between dancing and psychological well-being. A large amount of governmental, health, and educational information is available extolling the benefits of dance for health.
Benefits of Cultural dance Physical activity has many physical and mental health outcomes. However, physical inactivity continues to be common. Dance, specifically cultural dance, is a type of physical activity that may appeal to some who are not otherwise active and may be a form of activity that is more acceptable than others in certain cultures.
A report by Professor Tim Watson and Dr Andrew Garrett of the University of Hertfordshire compared members of the Royal Ballet with a squad of British national and international swimmers. The dancers scored higher than the swimmers in seven out of ten areas of fitness. An Italian study in 2006 has shown that dance is a very good exercise for heart patients compared to other aerobic exercises like cycling. This may be partly because the patients enjoyed it much more.
A study at the Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine in 2007 showed Argentine tango was better at improving the mobility of Parkinson's disease sufferers than an exercise class (a later study showed similar benefits from Tai chi). Because of the level of interest a permanent tango class was set up after the study ended. A study by Dr Paul Dougall at Strathclyde University in 2010 concentrating on older women found that Scottish country dancers were more agile, have stronger legs and can walk more briskly than people of the same age who took part in exercises such as swimming, walking, golf and keep-fit classes.
Another gain of dancing is for those who have high cholesterol, plus drugs and adequate food, dancing can draw. As an aerobic exercise abridged levels of total blood cholesterol, especially in LDL cholesterol, acknowledged as bad and helps boost levels of HDL or good cholesterol. Dancing in general increases, muscle strength and flexibility, which in turn, improves overall range of motion. Dance also increases core strength which can improve balance, coordination, and posture (which reduces back pain).
Dance has been repeatedly shown to positively impact a person's mental health. For example, lead study author Anna Duberg, of Sweden's Center for Health Care Sciences, found that, "despite problems such as stress and other potential challenges in being an adolescent girl, dance can result in high adherence and a positive experience for the participants." Dancing had the potential to contribute to new healthy habits. Swedish researchers, writing in the JAMA Pediatrics, studied 112 teenage girls who were struggling with problems including neck and back pain, stress, anxiety, and depression. Half of the girls attended weekly dance classes, while the other half didn't. The girls who took the dance classes improved their mental health and reported a boost in mood—positive effects that lasted up to eight months after the classes ended.
Additionally, a recent study done in Perth Western Australia by Debbie Duignan (WA Alzheimers Association) explored the use of Wu Tao Dance as a therapy for people with dementia. It was shown that Wu Tao dance helped to reduce symptoms of agitation in people with dementia. The complex mental coordination involved with dancing activates both sensory and motor circuits. Therefore, when one dances, one's brain is both stimulated by the sound of the music and by the dance movements themselves. PET imaging has shown brain regions that become activated during dance learning and performance, including the motor cortex, somatosensory cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. The benefits of dancing on the brain includes memory improvement and strengthened neural connections. Consequently, not only can dance help to reduce symptoms experienced by those with dementia, but it can also reduce the risk of developing dementia in the first place, as shown in a 2003 study in the New England Journal of Medicine by researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
In addition to improving symptoms of dementia and preventing dementia, frequent dancing can even lead to increased cognitive acuity for individuals of all ages. However, not all kinds of dancing have this power. Those dance styles that allow for the most split-second decisions are the most beneficial; those dance styles with the same, memorized patterns are the least beneficial. For the same reason, those who take the Follow role have a higher opportunity for improving their cognitive acuity since they must make constant split-second decisions as they follow their partner's lead. The key for improving cognitive acuity is to create new neural connections to increase the complexity of our neuronal synapses. Another important consideration is that the frequency of dancing matters. The more frequent an individual dances, the greater the cognitive improvement.
Furthermore, many cultures agree that there is a mind and body connection, and many cultures use dance to heal this often damaged connection. During the African diaspora, individuals used dance therapy to treat the trauma that resided from their situations. Dance therapy is suggested for patients today as treatment for emotional and therapeutic support, as dance allows individuals to connect with their inner-self.
Risks of dance
There are various health risks of professional dance, as it can be very demanding. As well as sports injuries, repetitive strain injury, and chronic workplace stress. Dancers risk injury within the course of their career, many retiring from active performance in their mid to late 30s. Since dance is a performance art with emphasis on aesthetics, dancers are also at a higher risk of body image problems and eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia. Some dances, such as ballet, are very strenuous on the body. Research shows that dancers in elite pre-professional companies have 1.38 injuries per 1000 hours of dancing, with dancers averaging about 30.3 hours per week. The most common injury was to the lower extremities, with ankle being the most common. The injuries on average took about 7 days to heal with foot injuries taking the longest at 14 days and thigh injuries being the lowest at 2 days. Another risk dancers face are eating disorders. They are constantly judged based on their looks and expected to have toned, slim bodies. This can lead to a lot of health risks.
|“||...compared to the 61 common sports, only professional [American] football is more physically demanding than ballet.||”|
Many dance movements, and particularly ballet techniques, such as the turnout of the hips and rising on the toes (en pointe), test the limits of the range of movement of the human body. Dance movements can place stress on the body when not performed correctly; even if perfect form is used, over-repetition can cause repetitive strain injury. The most common injuries for ballet dancers is snapping hip syndrome and foot and ankle injuries.  Foot and ankle injuries are vulnerable to a wide range of injuries including, stress fractures, tendon injuries, sprains and strains. Much of this is due to not only the emphasis of footwork in dance but also the foot wear. Dancers either wear pointe shoes, bare feet, a soft shoe of some kind or heels, all of which offer no support. Shoulder injuries can be common in male dancers due to lifting, partnering and floor work that is commonly seen in modern dance. The periscapular muscles assist in keeping the shoulder still and steady, these muscles are at greater risk for injuries among dancers.
Examined in the Journal of Dance Medicine and Science, dancers often put off consultation from doctors or physical therapists in the effort to stay employed by a dance company or to stay in rehearsals. When in fact those dancers that "work through" their pain more often than not end up worsening their symptoms and prolonging their recovery. Eighty percent of professional dancers will be injured in some way during their careers; 50 percent of dancers from large ballet companies and 40 percent from small companies will miss performances due to injury. The practice of doing pliés (bending one's knees deeply) after landing each jump may seem innocuous, but failing to do so may result in shin splints or knee injuries.
Overwork and poor occupational health and safety conditions, a (non-sprung) hard floor, a cold studio or theater, or dancing without sufficient warm up also increases risk of injury. To minimize injury, dance training emphasizes strength building and forming appropriate habits. Choreographers and dance instructors will often put certain demands on their students and dancers without taking into consideration that each dancer is faced with different anatomical limitations. Dancers will strive to achieve the ideal aesthetic in their respective dance technique by over compensating for their limitations and thus presenting themselves with a higher risk for injury. Damage may also result from having a student perform movements for which they are not prepared, care must be taken that the student is not "pushed" inappropriately.
A dancer put en pointe at an age where his or her bones have not completely ossified may develop permanent damage; even past the point of ossification, ankle injuries can result if a dancer goes en pointe without sufficient strength. Rachele Quested and Anna Brodrick, the lower extremities are the vulnerable to injury. The most common injury is to the ankle, then leg, foot, knee, hip and finally the thigh. Dancers are trained from a very young age to avoid injury by using plie, turn out, and other means to protect their bodies.
Keeping dancers free of injury is a crucial aspect and will help a lifetime of healthy physical activity and can prevent injuries in the future. By being taught a few simple techniques by parents, teachers, and medical professionals can avert injuries from occurring. Following are a few advice's on preventing injuries. Wearing properly fitting clothing and shoes, drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, don't dance through pain, rest and then start back up again and listen to your teachers for correct technique. For social dance the use of a sprung floor is highly recommended. Because a dance injury can ruin a career professional dancers are increasingly refusing to dance on anything else. In ballet, good pliés (bending the knees) on landing helps protect against knee injuries and shin splints. Many types of dance, especially folk dances, have hops in the steps where the impact of landing can be reduced by slightly bending the knee. Warming up and cooling down exercises are recommended before and after exercises to avoid strain, muscle pains, and possible injury. Conditioning is a good way to prevent dance injuries.
Treatment of injuries
RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is generally regarded as a good first aid therapy for most dance injuries before the ambulance comes, or even for what may be thought of as minor injuries. Pain and inflammation can be reduced using a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in a gel applied to the affected area (not on broken skin). Note, however, that masking pain to continue dancing is dangerous as it can easily make an injury worse.
Professional dancers may experience chronic workplace stress with an uncertain work situation. The average income for a ballet dancer is low, and competition for jobs is very high. In addition to the stress that may be caused by this, dancers also may experience the psychological distress from technical and physical "perfectionism". As with other activities (such as horse jockeying) where weight is a factor, dancers are at a higher risk for developing eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. Many young dancers, believing that the ideal dancer must be thin, may begin controlling their diets, sometimes obsessively. Such dancers may be unaware of or may choose to ignore the fact that an emaciated dancer will not have the strength required for ballet. It is also highly relevant that inadequate nutrition in adolescent females has been linked to development of scoliosis, due to decreased oestrogen production and subsequent reduced bone density. A dancer with poor nutrition is at a higher risk for injuries and long-term health problems. A malnourished dancer's performance will be altered and weaken as his or her body starts to break down muscle and bone in order to fuel itself. This puts the dancer at risk for injury and slows the healing of chronic injuries. In a survey of 300 professional dancers, 40% were tobacco smokers in contrast with the Center for Disease Control average of 24% of American women and 29% of American men aged 18–34.
Scientific study of dance
Dance science is the scientific study of dance and dancers, as well as the practical application of scientific principles to dance. Its aims are the enhancement of performance, the reduction of injury, and the improvement of well-being and health. Dance requires a high degree of interpersonal and motor skills, and yet seems built into humans. It has therefore increasingly become the subject of neurological studies. The July 2008 edition of Scientific American contains a summary of recent studies and further questions.
An article in Nature 'Dance reveals symmetry especially in young men' shows that dance in Jamaica seems to show evidence of sexual selection and to reveal important information about the dancer. Professor Lee Cronk at Rutgers: "More symmetrical men put on a better show, and women notice." Symmetry is a strong indicator of fitness as it shows developmental stability.
Dance therapy or dance movement therapy is a form of expressive therapy, the psychotherapeutic use of movement (and dance) for treating emotional, cognitive, social, behavioral and physical conditions. Many professionals specialize in dancer's health such as in providing complementary or remedial training or improving mental discipline.

Re: Why I dislike the new album
My beef with To The Five Boroughs is the production, the switch from
Caldato's production technique to more computer based work with Duro
is very inorganic and a huge split from their trademark sound from '98 and
earlier. 6 years was way too long to wait and the new album was an instant
classic, but I'd like to see a return to that style I described.
i agree... i sat down the other day and listened to hello nasty from begin to fin and it made me wish that mario c was at the boards to filter the great concepts of 5 buroughs. the production on 5 has a lifeless feel to it. the boys live show is stronger than ever, and mike d comes with some wicked rhymes but the new record is only okay, in my opinion. oh yeah... where was the BIZ!!!

After months of lockdown, our Monkey Music teachers are really excited for a fresh start this Autumn term and to...
Monkey Music Baby & Toddler Classes Music Classes in Weybridge, Walton on Thames, Hersham, Molesey, Cobham & Stoke D'AbernonAlex Schirn 0208 2240096 [email protected]
Hello, my name is Alex Schirn and together with my wonderful team of teachers, I run Monkey Music in Weybridge, Cobham, Stoke D’Abernon, Walton on Thames, Hersham and Molesey. We offer a range of classes individually tailored for each age group, from 3 months to 4 years. We can’t wait to meet you!Read more...
I grew up surrounded by music at home, I play the piano and clarinet as well as singing. As a child and teenager I competed in various competitions for singing, winning a national award for a solo song at age 16. I took part in musical theatre and was part of a local choir and orchestra.
When I had my first child I was passionate about exposing him to music as much as possible as I understand how much it can help with child development and the skills it teaches. This lead me to finding Monkey Music seven years ago and I continue to attend classes with my daughter. I have watched as both of my children have thrived and learnt through the progressive curriculum Monkey Music offers and as a family we have thoroughly enjoyed attending classes. When the opportunity came for me to run a franchise of my own I jumped at it!
At Monkey Music we offer a range of classes individually tailored for each of our four age groups from 3 months to 4 years. By singing songs, using actions and engaging with colourful props and instruments, children build confidence, improve their vocabulary and coordination and develop vital life skills. Our classes are also designed to encourage positive communication and bonding between carer and child, as well as nurturing a lifetime of music.
Book your class with us today and join in the fun!

My little one LOVES Monkey Music. It is great for them to gain confidence and improve coordination from baby to toddler. The teachers are very kind and get to know each child individually.
These classes have been a real lifeline for me and my son. He loves all the lights, bubbles, music and songs and for me, it breaks up the day and gives me something to focus on.
I started coming to Monkey Music with my eldest when she was just three months old and 5 years later I'm still going with my youngest. It's never dull, always engaging and the teachers are amazing!
‘Thanks so much for the class Alex, we loved it! She actually sat and did the whole thing which is pretty much unheard of!’
We did the class earlier this afternoon. It was so great!! A loved it. It was so well filmed as well - & better than the live streamed classes we’ve tried that have a lag or sound issues.
The online session made me realise how much we've missed our Monkey Music classes!

Imagine, thirty years from now. It’s the year 2043. Welcome to the Platinum age of Tango.
You’re looking at the LA weekly, and there are three different milongas to choose from different great live music groups, and it’s just a Monday night. You know that if you go out there will be fifteen, twenty people you love to dance with there.
Beforehand you could swing by a friend’s house for a house-milonga. Most houses and apartments these days are being built with the idea of social dancing in mind with little hardwood ballrooms. Or you could grab a practice rotunda for an hour after dinner.
Maybe you’ll warm up dancing to those old recordings of the little quartets and sextets from back in the 2020s, those little bands where you knew all the musicans. Or the good old vintage electronic Tango from the turn of the century. Gotan project is so nostalgic these days !
You reflect back. It’s amazing to see what Tango has become. It’s amazing to remember how impossible it was, fifty years ago, to imagine having a good, secure job in the world of Tango -- and now it’s actually quite normal for people to go into real careers in Tango.
There are all these awesome jobs for Tango teachers and community curators, at the local Tango schools. Jobs with meaning, freedom, and flexibility -- and with benefits, vacation time, training, and the chance to make stuff happen working with amazing inspiring colleagues. There is enough time to learn and to dance, and still enough energy to take care of yourself and your family for the long term. Things work.
You pull on a pair of retro harem pants and strap on your multi-surface friction-free dance shoes that record the steps from every tanda in a microscopic embedded Intel chip. You walk by a bunch of kids jamming in a cul-de-sac, they seem to be working on some crazy soltadas. You take off. House milonga it is.
What do you see when you put on your Tango future-vision goggles??

CHEESE PACKAGING: INNOVATION GETS HANDS-ON
The packaging of cheese products: the conditions for success on the shelf.
Let your cheese products express themselves
Cheese is not a food product like any other. It consumes oxygen, produces CO2, perspires, ages… It is a “living” product that requires packaging that promotes its evolution. Cheese makers are therefore looking for solutions that will allow them to fully express themselves: cheese tray, aperitif packaging, display, bell, maturing cellar, etc. Knauf Industries Agri-food provides you with its know-how, expertise and technologies (thermoforming, plastic injection and honeycomb moulding) to provide you with standard and tailor-made solutions.h3>Packaging that lets the cheese breathe
To a food product like no other, specifically adapted solutions. All of our “cheese” packaging meets the requirements for better protection, preservation and safe transport of products. We pay particular attention to your packaging process, from packaging to the last bite.Are your products greasy and/or wet?Our packaging solutions offer suitable oxidation by letting the cheese breathe; it benefits from better conservation and an optimal level of quality in the refrigerator. And as we leave nothing to chance, we are developing modified atmosphere packaging solutions without oxygen to slow down the ripening of the cheese and avoid cross-contamination.
“TAILOR-MADE”, WE MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT!
ID Lab, our research and development center dedicated to innovation, was created to co-design and co-construct with our customers “tailor-made” packaging that meets their expectations. Thanks to our experience with cheese makers, we are able to produce customizable packaging by shape and packaging design, in thermoforming or plastic injection with IML label. Whatever the nature and variety of your cheeses, our solutions apply to all your ideas. Our know-how and expertise give life to many eco-designed and 100% recyclable packaging concepts: IML injected tray with thermoformed lid, thermoformed or injected ripening cellar and blister, sealed injected bell for packaging in a protective atmosphere, display with ventilation system without perforation…Do you want to show your difference on shelves?Our personalization solutions – choice of colors, affixing of logos and/or advertising claims, of your know-how… – will enable you to stand out from the crowd at the first glance of consumers.

Chart of the Day
Via Dana Goldstein:
Matt Yglesias notes the Wall Street Journal is reporting that in his big speech to Congress tonight, President Obama will reaffirm his commitment to a public option — a dinky public option. This awesome chart from Nick Beaudrot shows exactly how dinky it is; the pink boxes represent the public option. But it also demonstrates something else about health reform that you won’t hear any Democrat say: It does more to help the destitute poor than the working or middle class.
This is always scary for liberals, though. They worry that a program that benefits the poor more than the middle class won’t retain voter support. This is why means-testing for social security always meets such resistance, because they fear that if only the lowest segment of the population stands to benefit, then whatever program it is faces a much greater chance of future defeat, cuts, and so forth. This is a sensible concern from that perspective, and something to think about in this current health care reform debate.

5 million people are bitten by dogs every year. 800,000 are serious enough to require medical treatment. On average, 26 people die from their bites.
50% of those bitten by dogs are children. Half of them are bitten in the face.
Why do dogs bite?
Poor socialization, perhaps. Dogs may bite from fear or because of pain. Female dogs with a litter may bite if they sense that their puppies are in danger.
While not all bites can prevented, knowing and practicing proper doggy etiquette can go a long way.
Most children are fascinated by dogs. And many dogs are fascinated by children. Anyone who has watched friendly dogs and children together will undoubtedly agree with Henry Ward Beecher. "The dog was created specially for children. He is the god of frolic." Dogs and children are a common sight in downtown Warrenton, and I've yet to not see a child squeal with delight when he/she sees a dog approaching. I usually see a wagging tail too (not on the kid, although hands and feet may be wiggling).
While the child and the dog may be eager to meet, it's vital that the child know how to greet a dog properly. Stephanie Calmenson's May I Pet Your Dog: The How-To Guide for KIDS Meeting DOGS (and DOGS Meeting KIDS) is a terrific introduction to proper doggy greeting etiquette.
May I Pet Your Dog is narrated by a friendly dog (accompanied by his patient human)named Harry. "WOOF! I'm a dog. But I'm not just any dog. I'm a long-haired, chocolate-dappled dachshund. My name is Harry, and I want to be your friend. Do you want to be my friend? Good! I'll tell you how."
Harry explains the basic technique for meeting a dog: ask the owner if you can pet the dog, hold out your hand with fingers down, and let the dog sniff your hand. Then, you can pet the dog. "Please come to me from the side. Don't reach over my head. That scares me." Most importantly, "Always be gentle with dogs."
Harry also shows us how to act when we encounter a friendly, yet hyper puppy, a big yet gentle dog, and a dog that, according to his owner, is not comfortable with strangers.
"Did you hear that growl? That means: Don't come near me. Don't even look at me. We'll turn away our eyes. We'll turn away our heads. We'll stay perfectly still and quiet until she passes."
Harry prompts our young friend to ask his owner if he knows any tricks. (Of course he does!). We see a barking dog in a car. "Some dogs can be unfriendly when they are guarding what's theirs. Never go near a dog in a car or a truck." Harry also explains that we should never interrupt a guide dog or any other working dog. Harry and his new friend say goodbye, and we also get a rundown of basic rules that weren't covered in the book: stay away from a dog without its owner, never put your face near a dog's face, don't run or shout around a dog, and what to do if you feel frightened of a dog.
May I Pet Your Dog is an adorable yet very effective way of teaching children proper manners with dogs. Even if your child is familiar with dogs, this is a great way to reinforce and reintroduce those rules (including rules that you may not have thought to taught).
May I Pet Your Dog is a nomination for the Cybils nonfiction picture book category.

Chairman Lieberman’s “War on Terror”
By Chip Berlet
Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Independent Democrat from Connecticut and vigorous supporter of neoconservative-led advocacy efforts to push an expansive “war on terror” in the Middle East, has used his perch as chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security to push hardline counterterrorism policies that undermine First Amendment rights for dissidents across the political spectrum—and could have potentially far-reaching implications for how the United States prosecutes the “war on terror.” Read full story.
Ledeen left his longtime post as “Freedom Scholar” at the American Enterprise Institute in August for a position at the further-right neoconservative-led Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
Woolsey, a former CIA director who calls the “war on terror” the “Long War,” is helping lead the effort to attract environmentalists concerned about oil consumption to the neoconservative view of U.S. security.
The former head of strategic initiatives in the Bush White House, Wehner has continued to champion the president’s foreign policies from his perch at the neoconservative Ethics and Public Policy Center.

Creative writing is a unique beast among writers. You can get swept away writing out every detail of a room, or stuff your stories with characters and too many plot twists. If you want to refine your stories, practice with a dirty joke.
As advice site Barking Up the Wrong Tree explains, dirty jokes are a distilled form of creative writing that requires you to reduce a story to its most basic elements. You wouldn’t write a paragraph about the details of a man’s tie in a limerick, and you wouldn’t pile a sixth plot twist on top of your pile of punchlines. Once the joke stops having rhythm or being funny, you know when you need to cut something. Building that instinct can improve your writing:
Whether it’s a screenplay or a PowerPoint presentation, does it have a clear beginning, middle and end? Or is it a rambling mess of ideas? And that’s where dirty jokes come in…
Playwright extraordinaire David Mamet says the dirty joke is the best model for telling a story. It has a beginning, middle and end, it doesn’t waste time telling you more than you need to know, and it uses everyday language.
Writing dirty jokes force you to practice many of the skills that make a great creative writer including brevity, clever turns, accessible language, and structuring your story. If you’re hitting a road block, or just want to improve, let your dirty mind roam free.
