HMS Submission Reviews
HMS Submission is a book with a split personality. The first half is a well-written, entertaining erotic comedy as the Irish rogue Mick Savage beguiles his way into the beds of a variety of England’s uppercrust, male and female, and robs them. With the assistance of his sidekick, the cutpurse Cat, he goes after the greatest prize of them all: The Gloucester Diamond. Disguised as a pair of priests, they discover that men of the cloth are just as fallible as the randy lords of London. Greed is his downfall, and he and Cat are arrested and transported to the colonies. Meanwhile, the bookish and mild Christopher FitzGibbons is betrothed against his will to Lady Violet. Completely ignorant of sex, he finds himself strangely attracted to a Willicombe, an underfootman and young man like himself. With Willicombe’s help he attempts to get a sexual education and comic mishaps ensue. Just when he and Willicombe are finally reaching a mutually pleasurable understanding, they are discovered by Lord Christopher’s father. Lord FitzGibbons enlists his son in the navy to make a man of him.And the book falls apart. Once Christopher is assigned to the HMS Impregnable under Captain Rock, and Mick and Cat are tossed into the filthy hold along with the other prisoners Captain Rock is charged to deliver to the penal colony, the author loses faith in his materials and reverts to gay porn scenes. Previously in the book the numerous erotic encounters had some point in the story—Mick’s cuckolding of the betrothed Lord Christopher when each has no idea who the other is, for example, is an amusing scene that grows out of the characters of the various people involved and sets up the complications that will ultimately bring the two men together. The sex scenes aboard the Impregnable are not the result of any particular motivation aside from the author’s need to fill out the requisite number of pages of men screwing. Needing to resolve Willicombe’s unrequited love for Christopher, suddenly we discover that he and Cat knew each other when they were boys and are happy to be back together again. After mistreating Mick, Captain Rock is enlightened and suddenly forgives and embraces his own gay son. Preposterously, all this happy-ending occurs aboard the ship belonging to the Spanish pirate El Niño, The Boy, who isn’t a boy at all, but either a hermaphrodite or a girl in disguise. It is El Niño who rearranges everything so that everybody (except Captain Rock) gets laid and everybody forgives and embraces everybody. I’m all for happy endings, and those who know me know I’m utterly in love with wooden ships, but the second half of the book was a snooze. The author couldn’t tell a jib from a square sail, and aside from a few bits of wit when the other midshipmen set up the gullible Christopher for a prank, the nautical errors and mechanical behavior of characters who had formerly been engagingly believable, had me turning pages in a hurry to finish the book. One has the feeling that the publisher had a look at the manuscript in progress and snapped, “I’m paying you to write about men screwing, not Regency manners!” What a pity. Gordon has a knack for humor. The bookish Lord Christopher—who is so earnestly struggling to be the man his father wants him to be while yearning for his books and other men—is the perfect foil for comic interludes. The reader can’t help sympathizing with the poor bewildered Christopher during the first half of the book. At the same time, Mick and Cat, whose flexible morality allows them to prey on the English, find that their streetwise wits can get them into more trouble than they bargained for. Even when we’re rooting for them to succeed, we can’t help but be amused when they get what’s coming to them—as in when Cat attempts to rob Mick after they have become lovers. I would have been very happy to read an entire book like this and given it five stars, but the second half of pirate porn ruins it. Three stars.
I really liked the first half of this book. The story held my interest--Christopher's naivete and Mick's intrigues were fun to read about. And who wouldn't like the cutpurse, Cat?! The sex was fun, and had something to do with the story. However, The second half of the book, on the HMS Impregnable, fell apart. The story was pretty well lost amidst the constant sex scenes, and the eventual capture by El Nino was incredibly disappointing. The 3 star rating is because the first half was worth the read.


Story from the August issue of MOTOR magazine
They introduced F1 to modern turbocharger technology, won Le Mans, took a mid-engine rear-drive hot hatch into rallying, made one of the most famous and craziest vans of all time, brought light, dynamic front-drive naturally aspirated hot hatches back into fashion and then actually built a mid-engine V6-powered rear-drive production version of said hot hatch. They are Renault and we love these French madmen.
Their latest madcap venture is the Twin’Run concept car – a vehicle Renault claims will reinvent city cars as we know them as well as paying its dues to some of Renault’s craziest concept and production cars from the last 30 years. It was the newest of those machines, the insane Clio V6, which the Twin’Run draws most heavily on.
Like the limited-production Clio, the Twin’Run has a mid-mounted V6 engine that drives the rear wheels only. However, while the Clio used a production-ready shell, the Twin’Run sits on a custom tube-frame chassis made by French company Tork Engineering.
The blue and red bodywork stretched over the top of the custom frame is made up of composite glass-polyester panels, designed to evoke memories of the super-tough little Renault R5 Turbo and Maxi super-hatches that terrorised Group B rallying back in the 1980s. The headlights, door signage and those funky, super-slim LED driving lights (measuring just 25mm thick!) are all nods to the ’80s icon, though Twin’Run’s motorsport roots go much deeper than just aesthetics.
Rather than using any old V6 they had sitting around the factory, Renault installed a 236kW, 380Nm 3.5-litre V6 from a Megane Trophy race car. Coupled to a six-speed sequential gearbox, twin-plate clutch and limited-slip diff, the Twin’Run needs the race car-inspired double-wishbone suspension that uses lightweight aluminium construction and solid mounts. Renault chose to fit Ohlins coilover struts at each corner, with 22mm and 25mm swaybars (front and rear, respectively).
The race theme continues inside, with the roll cage left exposed, the fixed-back Sparco seats, high-mount gear-shifter and handbrake, Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, door cards and dashboard, plus an aluminium pedal set designed for heel-toe driving. Twin’Run also features a 5.5-inch LCD screen behind the steering wheel in place of a regular dash, which shows all the vital signs.
Despite tipping the scales at a featherweight 950kg, Twin’Run features huge 356x32mm brake discs up front and 328x30mm discs in the rear, clamped by six-piston (front) and four-piston (rear) calipers. They hide behind 18x7.5-inch (front) and 18x8.5-inch (rear) wheels, shod in 205/40 and 245/35 Michelin rubber, front to rear.
The Twin’Run is claimed to do 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds, going on to a top speed of 250km/h. We’d love to see a production version, Renault!

Between 10-11 p.m. on New Year's Eve, several people arrived at Rogelio "Reggie" Martinez Jr.'s home – in the 1500 block of Southeast Walnut Street – for a holiday celebration, said Lt. Mike Rouches, a Hillsboro police spokesman. Many people at the party, Rouches said, were intoxicated.
The victim – whom police identified as Jake Golleher-Johnson – was intoxicated, Rouches said, and started "acting wild." Shortly before 3 a.m. New Year's Day, Golleher-Johnson began punching the air, Rouches said, and inadvertently punched Martinez.
The two became involved in a short scuffle, during which Martinez pulled out a folding knife with a 2-inch blade and began swinging the weapon around, Rouches said. Martinez, Rouches said, then stabbed Golleher-Johnson in his left wrist.
Golleher-Johnson reportedly left the party and police later found him lying in the road unresponsive and bleeding. Rouches was not sure where the officers found him.
Golleher-Johnson was taken by ambulance to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland for treatment of his injury. Police, Rouches said, determined that he suffered a 2-centimeter deep wound to his wrist.
On Tuesday, investigators reportedly served a search warrant and took Martinez into custody. He was arrested on accusations of first-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon and initially referred to the Washington County Juvenile Department, Rouches said.
First-degree assault is a Measure 11 crime that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of seven and a half years in prison.

Editor’s note: This article has been updated to reflect information from Alameda County and the state about vaccine prioritization.
With California bringing educators to the forefront of COVID-19 vaccination distribution, all UC employees are now eligible for the vaccination, including student employees and educators.
Since moving into Phase 1b, any state resident who works in higher education is eligible for the vaccination through the California Department of Public Health’s, or CDPH’s, designation of the education sector. Depending on eligibility requirements set by each vaccination provider, those permitted may include faculty, staff, postdoctoral students, student instructors and researchers, readers, tutors, student assistants and any other campus employees, according to University Health Services, or UHS, spokesperson Tami Cate.
As of Tuesday, UHS had its last vaccine clinic for the first dose until it receives more doses when they are more widely available. According to Cate, UHS anticipates having enough vaccines to provide those who received their first dose through the university with their second dose.
“When we do get more vaccines, the new direction from the state and UCOP is that we will be shifting our scope to providing vaccines to students as their health care provider, rather than to staff,” Cate said in an email. “In order to get ready for this, we will continue our planning efforts to reach out to all students by mid-March to get information on underlying medical conditions.”
Cate added that UHS is optimistic that throughout the next few months, the availability of vaccines will “rapidly increase.”
Riya Master, chief of staff for the ASUC Office of External Affairs, alleged that campus is not sending emails about eligibility to students in the sector because UHS is currently not providing vaccines. However, eligible individuals can go to local vaccination sites.
Master added that any campus education employee can enter their current zip code in CDPH’s My Turn website and receive their vaccine regardless of their location in the state.
According to the Alameda County Public Health Department COVID-19 vaccine eligibility guidelines, those who are prioritized under the education sector are individuals who are at a high risk of spreading or contracting the virus due to their work environment.
Additionally, the Alameda County Public Health Department advises that if an individual who works under this sector is not in direct contact with the public or has the option to work from home to wait for their turn. This is also in accordance with the California Department of Public Health COVID-19 vaccine allocation guidelines.
While many students expressed concern online over DeCal facilitators and student educators receiving vaccines despite classes being virtual, others advised that people should consider the opportunity, as it will contribute to the possibility of herd immunity.
“There’s a certain amount of vaccines allocated to each sector, and you not taking it isn’t letting someone else take it, because it’s already allocated,” Master said. “There’s a difference between being eligible and cheating your way through the system.”
Subeksha Sharma, Advocates for Public Health DeCal facilitator, said students who are eligible and considering getting vaccinated should consider their personal risks, health risks within their household and vaccine supply in their counties.
Kavitha Iyengar, president of United Auto Workers Local 2865, the union representing UC academic student employees, said in an email that the union encourages actively searching out information on vaccine eligibility.
“We encourage all workers to sign up for California’s My Turn webpage to be notified when you are eligible to be vaccinated and there are appointments available near you,” Iyengar said in the email. “We will continue to fight for a reopening plan that prioritizes safety and equitable access to UC.”

The All-New MK Chronograph
Bremont and Jaguar continue E-type legend with new MKII chronograph
In 1963, the Jaguar E-type racing car was born and decades later, it still a very much celebrated model. Only 18 cars were intended to go into production, but only 12 were manufactured, with the final six completed in 2014. The car was everlasting on the Florida racetrack at the 12 Hours of Sebring, one of the foremost endurance races of its era. Two Lightweight E-types led the field in the GT 4.0 class and number 23, in Old English White with bold red and blue stripes, crossed the finish line first.
Number 23’s victory is still widely celebrated today with its distinguished racing history. Bremond has therefore chosen this car as the inspiration for its new MKII chronograph. Through the launch of Bremont’s E-type collection, the British watch company has paid homage to the dial and car designs concurrently, using it as a source of constant inspiration for co-fonders Nick and Giles English.
The new white-dialed counterpart to the existing Bremont Jaguar range incorporates a striking similarity to the successful MKII black dial, but with an all new internatl tachymeter dial ring that can be used to measure speed. The Sebring MKII also posses new hands and a red stitched ‘racing’ leather strap, an approval to the red racing stripes that adorned the car and its vintage embroidered branding details.
Giles English, Bremont co-founder, said: “Bremont has enjoyed a very special relationship with Jaguar over the years. Nick and myself have always loved the old E-types and were thrilled to be a part of the Lightweight story in 2014 when Jaguar completed the production run of these 18 original racing cars from the 60s. The Sebring has such a lovely story in its own right, having won its class in 1963, so seemed a natural source of inspiration for our new MKII release.”

The Iran nuclear deal could help stabilize oil prices and even give them a boost, says Nasdaq's Tamar Essner. But here's what has to happen first.» Read More
U.S. crude oil futures ended a choppy session lower as traders booked profits. Earlier in the day, prices jumped above $66 a barrel amid a flurry of refinery glitches. A string of refinery outages in the United States, coming on the heels of a long and extensive maintenance season, has drained gasoline stocks as the giant market gears up for driving season.
Oil rose more than a dollar on Wednesday after U.S. gasoline stocks fell for an 11th straight week, tightening supplies ahead of peak summer demand in the world's top consumer.
Crude oil futures fell more than a dollar as traders took profits ahead of fresh oil inventory data due Wednesday and following Monday's sharp price rise on worries about supply disruptions in the wake of Nigeria's disputed presidential election.
U.S. crude jumped as much as $1.84 to $65.95 a barrel after Nigeria's elections drew condemnation from monitors and investors waited for fresh word on oil supplies from the world's eighth biggest exporter. Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Nigeria's largest northern city. Brent crude was also up sharply.
U.S. crude oil futures ended sharply higher, pushed up at the expiration of the front-month May contract and ahead of Nigeria's presidential election Saturday that has oil markets worried about post-election turmoil disrupting supply.
Oil prices dipped as rising refinery production and a key pipeline restart eased worries of a U.S. fuel supply crunch this summer driving season.
Crude oil prices firmed slightly on Wednesday as worries over Iran's nuclear ambitions countered easing fears of a gasoline supply crunch in the United States this summer driving season.
U.S. crude oil futures dipped this afternoon on book-squaring and crack-spread trading ahead of Wednesday's government inventory report. Front month crude futures earlier rose above $64 as a shut Canada-to-U.S. crude pipeline and a Texas refinery's restart were supportive.
U.S. crude oil futures rose in choppy trading, with products futures slumping as crude was pressured by OPEC comments on supply and demand and by news that Shell expects to resume its Nigeria Forcados crude stream in late May or early June.
Oil prices eased slightly on Friday after the top U.S. energy official said he was confident there would be enough gasoline supply to meet peak summer driving demand.
Oil markets are nervous animals nowadays. Given the tensions between Iran and the U.K. since late March over Tehran's seizure of 15 British sailors, the prospect of diplomatic efforts failing to solve the stand-off haunted the market. That's raised fears of a military confrontation in the Persian Gulf. After Iran pardoned and freed the 15 sailors, the market was so relieved that oil prices dropped by over $2.
U.S. crude oil finished just short of $64 as gasoline futures surged to new eight-month highs on troubles at two refineries. The production disruptions raised fears of a gasoline supply crunch when drivers hit the roads this summer.
Crude oil and gasoline prices surged higher on news that U.S. gasoline supplies had fallen much more than expected.
Oil prices rose after four straight losing sessions as markets turned attention to Iran's nuclear activities and dwindling gasoline stocks in the United States, the top consumer.
After a few years (or decades) covering financial markets, you gain the ability to predict with uncanny insight how certain events might affect trading that day. You also gain the ability to get it completely wrong. We knew that Iranian officials would be coming out with a statement regarding the country’s controversial nuclear program, and we know that oil traders are mega-sensitive these days about Iran, especially following the recent capture and release of British military personnel. A sure sign of higher prices for oil, right? Nope. ...
Oil fell more than 4% on Monday, extending declines that followed Iran's release last week of 15 British sailors and marines. The loss was the largest since August 17, 2005.
Halliburton said all of the commitments of its subsidiary doing business in Iran have been completed and it is no longer working in the country.
Stocks finished higher during a holiday-shortened week, helped by a spate of merger announcements and an easing of geopolitical tensions after Iran released 15 British sailo
Oil fell on Thursday after Iran's release of 15 British sailors and marines eased worries over crude shipments from the world's fourth-largest exporter.
The Gas Exporting Countries Forum -- which includes names like Iran and Venezuela -- meets in Qatar Monday to discuss the formation of an OPEC-like cartel. Would such a combination pose a clear and present danger to America's interests? Two energy analysts told "Morning Call" viewers not to worry. Not yet, anyway.

I have a funny little story to tell you. I was contacted by Barb from Iowa. She was going through her sewing room and messaged me wondering if I might be interested in distributing her cast-offs for charity.
She told me she would be through some time and could drop it off. She also mentioned that she was from Monticello. That’s the same town Kayla lives in so I told her it would work if Kayla picked up the stuff on her way home sometime and we made a plan for that. Well, I gave them contact info, and here’s the funny part. Kayla put Barb’s address into GPS and she was given WALKING DIRECTIONS to Barb’s house as she only lives 800 FEET from Kayla’s house. How “small world” is that???
They previously didn’t know each other. Neither knew that they both had a connection to me. How fun was that?
Anyway…Barb had a mountain of stuff to send my way. Kayla’s little car was packed. On top of that…Ila contacted me and had stuff delivered to Kayla too. So this post is courtesy of Kayla’s Delivery Service.
Check out how much Barb sent my way!! Oh my.
The first box I opened and then whisked it all away to my friend that makes layettes for Lutheran World Relief. It was all flannels and she needs flannel.
There was more flannel.
All of the precut squares I packed up and passed on to Jazz. She enjoys working with flannel, enjoys piecing, and makes baby quilts so it was a perfect fit for her!
This was another box of goodies!
This is a heavy-weight fabric. I sent this on to some ladies that make school kits for Lutheran World Relief. Heavy-weight fabric is needed for making school kits. You can learn more about school kits HERE.
Here is a visual of the items needed to make school kits. All of these supplies are to go into a bag…that’s where the fabric comes into play.
The fabric is in great colors and is kid-friendly too. AWESOME!
This was a great piece of fabric that I’m sure will back a quilt for the fireman’s benefit. YAHOO!!
Here was another box…
These unfinished blocks are AWESOME. These are being passed to Ray’s charity quilting friends.
As are these…
There were lots of smaller scraps. I pulled the spool fabric with plans to pass that on to Christi.
I was just amazed at all the things included.
There were paint books and other kid-friendly goodies.
These were all fat quarters. I saved the feather fabric for Christi and I saved three of the light neutral fat quarters. They went to my box of scraps I’m using in my Red Sampler quilt.
Can you believe all of the boxes and boxes of goodies??
I saved out the green fabric in the back. I often get people willing to finish quilts but need me to provide the backing. This one would be really good for any kid-friendly quilt.
There was a lot and it was such a wonderful feeling to be able to sort and help so many charity quilts all in one donation.
There were lots of scrap bags of goodies.
Even more goodies. I think but I’m not sure that the striped fabric in the middle center is a Kaffe stripe. I pulled it for now and will check it out.
I’ve been collecting Kaffe prints.
This grouping included a lot of smaller scraps. That’s totally fine. We have quilters that love small scraps.
This bundle was all corduroy. I passed this on to the same people who got the heavy-weight fabric for school kit bags. I think this will all work for that too.
More flannel and a huge chunk of wool too.
These were mostly one yard-ish pieces with a couple of them smaller.
More fun scraps!!
This made me smile…isn’t it precious? This will be featured on an upcoming auction for postage money. Speaking of postage money. With the last influx of postage money, I’ve sent out 18 packages already. I’ve also bought two rolls of batting for two of the charity quilting groups. Thanks so much to everyone who bid and/or bought.
This was the next box…
Lots of solids in this bunch.
Check out those cute baby prints. I had a great time paging through the quilts book. It was a great book filled with ideas.
This was a fun paper piece project. What a lot of work went into it!!
Here are lots of scraps. I bagged them all up together and will be sending them off to the Cresco ladies…you’ll likely see these scraps again only next time in quilt tops.
There were two quilt tops in the bunch. Both were jelly roll style quilts.
They look similar, but trust me there are two. Jasper is showing them off.
Holy WOW, Barb. That was a treasure trove of goodies. So many people are going to benefit from your donation.
That isn’t all that was in Kayla’s car…remember Ila sent goodies too??
Karl was thrilled that his “fairy godmother Ila” sent Cashew Clusters. Ila knows how to spoil us!!
There were TWO bags of Cashew Clusters. I was a nice mom and let Karl have one. Check out all of the bags…
They were filled with magazines. Ila knows I love reading them before bed so she passed them on to me. Do you see that sweet little candy jar? Ila gave me to large ones previously. They are in my sewing room holding triangle scraps and red tomato pinchusions. This one is going with them.
There were scraps too. I thought the red bag was from Ila…but nope. I think it’s from Kayla. That had shirt scraps.
Oh my…WHAT A DELIVERY!! I can’t believe all this fit in Kayla’s car…and Jasper and she had five boxes of baby clothes she was passing on to Kelli and the boys. By the way, Kayla drives a Prius.
What a fun haul. THANKS SO MUCH, ladies!! I appreciate your work in putting this delivery together!!
12 thoughts on “In My Mail…AKA: Kayla’s Delivery Service!!”
It makes me so happy that fabric is being put to good use. I spent most of my childhood with my Grandmother. She raised her children during the depression and taught me every scrap of fabric can be used somehow. Even now I stuff dog beds with the scraps. I always think of her when I do it. Way to go ladies.
Hi what a box of goodies!!! Our guild is .making bonding hearts for Children’s. We make flannel 6-7″ hearts of double flannel. The mother puts them on chest and baby gets her scent. So if you ever get lots of baby flannel pieces, send my way. I have used up every piece I have. Will send you postage money Pat
ask Jo to put your information or some of it in the “Quilting Donation” section. I will check what flannel I have that I can send your way.
Oh my! The generosity of quilters continues to amaze me!
What wonderful quilts will be created for many!
Love and prayers
Such a lively lovely surprise. Quilters are generous people. The story Barb and Ila living so close to Kayla is great. The Prius must be a lot roomier than most small cars, or Kayla is a packing master.: ) I enjoyed seeing every bit of materials and your Jasper with the quilt tops.
So Kayla can have a side-line job…Uber driver for quilt fabric delivery!! Coincidences are always amazing…new friendships are born. Love it.
What do you do with all the magazines you receive after you have looked through them? I have many boxes of quilt magazines I need to pass on to others
I pass them on to the Cresco ladies, other quilting groups or the local thrift store.
look at your local or close by quilt shops and sewing machine stores. They might take them and pass them on to others for free. I have two Amish-Mennonite stores that do that. And at my mom’s church there is one lady who loves getting my magazines when I am done with them. I love the ones that Jo just got. I finally gave many up to give myself room for recent ones.
Thank you, Jo! I received the flannel yesterday. Be prepared for photos of quilts for the newborns of Ben Taub and LBJ hospitals in Houston!
Wow!! Incredible story about Kayla and Barb being neighbors. Great batch of goodies, Jo!!!
Looks like jasper has taken over the job of posing on the quilts what a blessing to others- all the sharing of fabric!

Tours are exclusive, but some people have offered the spare seats on their tour as shown in green below
. For a full list of dates when seats are on offer, see the calendar page.
A fascinating half day tour collecting you from the airport, station or hotel and taking you to the site of the last battle fought on British soil.
Once we arrive at Culloden, our guide will give you a fascinating walk around the battlefield including a full explanation of how it was lost and won including the politics which led up to the battle. Then you can visit the National Trust exhibition and shop if you wish.
On Culloden Battlefield itself you will see some restored dykes and the Well of the Dead where many Jacobites perished. The battlefield is also a war graveyard and Victorian stones commemorating some of the clans which were decimated on 16th April 1746 can be viewed.
After a coffee break we travel on to the finest Late Stone Age or Early Bronze Age site on the northern Scottish mainland. Here we will show you some of the hidden features and also provide you with time to just absorb the importance of the site and take in the atmosphere.
Nearby, for those interested in railways or industrial architecture, there is a superb example of a brick built viaduct which carries the main Inverness to Perth rail line.
If you would like to build in some shopping at Pringles Woollen Mill let us know so that a few minutes can be shaved off the battlefield or prehistoric visit. Alternatively you should possibly think about adding an hour to the tour.
Contact us and we'll help you plan your visit properly and give an exact quote for any extension to the tour.

The sound of PORT NASIM is an interesting one because it feels like the more that I listen to this album the more different influences I can pick up within the sound. I'm not sure that a band has ever sounded quite like this before because PORT NASIM seems to pull elements from other artists which might use guitars but haven't really been blended together like this before. In some ways, I think of this album as being a crossover between punk and metal, while at other times it can just feel like one of those grunge era albums that was heavier on the metal side, but the end result truly is unlike anything I've ever heard before.
"It's Murky Grey" opens up with a song which has these big, crunchy guitar chords and right away I can only think of it as being punk. During the chorus there are strings and backing vocals which take this to a different sound. As the album continues with "That Isn't True" (Which also makes an appearance later on acoustic) I begin to think of it as being more metal, something such as Suicidal Tendencies. There is quite a bit of Ozzy influence in here and as I think about an artist such as Sprung Monkey, I also can hear a metal band such as Judas Priest.
"The Need" has this bass line which reminds me of Nirvana and "Die Moorsoldaten" is in German and has a different feel than any other song on this album. It feels more like a traditional song, but being played in a faster speed and it ends up just reminding me of something like Dropkick Murphys. I've listened to all of these bands in my lifetime- and even the acoustics begin to feel trippy like Pink Floyd- but I've never really thought about them being together. Even though it's not something I've thought of, when they all do come together it just somehow works.
With so many different artists out there- such a lengthy history of rock music- I've always wondered why more artists didn't bring about styles combined of influences which might not have been thought of before, but at the same time it might simply not work to combine Pink Floyd with Judas Priest for a lot of other artists. PORT NASIM just makes it work and brings all of these different sounds which maybe shouldn't be together into one unique sound which they can call their own and it truly is special.

It’s not obvious why a country devoting 41.1% of its GDP to government spending is not able to provide basic government services and a safety net for the poor. …
I have an alternative explanation. Progressivism leads to a virtually infinite number of “unmet needs” Patch one hole (say health care) and lots more will pop up, such child care, or free college education. Patch those holes, and still more unmet needs will pop up, such as housing and high speed rail. Combine that with the inefficiency of big government, as well as all the problems identified by public choice models (i.e. special interest groups), and you have a recipe for continual disappointment.
Each time I visit France my first reaction is; “Where the heck did all these homeless people come from?” Doesn’t the French government spend 57% of GDP? Yes they do, and yet somehow Paris has homeless people all over the place. Maybe they need to spend 67%. Or 77%.
Government can be viewed as a means by which people can spend other people’s money. Government takes money off everyone using the threat of violence, and then a few select people get to choose how to spend it. This is inefficient, as everyone now knows, but there is an even bigger problem.
Government creates inequality. Most big fortunes and the rich class on top are made by exploiting government rules, contacts and give-aways — ordinary workers don’t get a look in. Inefficient, and a cesspool of soft corruption.
It seems that the academic left in Australia, the same New Class left that captured the Australian Labor Party and the union movement during the years of Gough Whitlam’s leadership and have only cemented their power since, has emerged yet again to take a stand against the Ramsay Centre’s plan for a university degree on Western Civilisation.
The Minister for Education, Simon Birmingham, took to the pages of the Australian newspaper last Friday to castigate the left-wing academic unionists at the ANU who rallied to “deny Australia’s history and culture, including freedom of speech that’s supposed be a facet of our universities.” Unfortunately, he showed an appalling lack of knowledge of the fundamental difference between culture, history and what Western civilisation actually meant. …
Australian universities, like their British counterparts, are captives of the twin methodologies of positivism and historicism. The former assumes that all moral choices are subjective and incapable of objective proof which contradicts the express purpose of Western Civilisation; the latter assumes that all moral values are relative to their time, an assumption which logically leads to nihilism and the complete repudiation of Western Civilisation.
The Western Civilisation course which the Ramsay Centre proposes was once known as a liberal education, an education in literacy and books which cultivated an open-mindedness, freeing a person from false opinions. In his 1959 lecture, What is Liberal Education, Professor Leo Strauss explained both the purpose and the meaning of a liberal education: that it consists in studying with the proper care the great books which the greatest minds have left behind. He explains that “Liberal education is the antidote to mass culture and to its corroding effects” which explains in part why it is so hated by the left. Anything which examines the premises of their lifestyle is a danger to their existence.
“I am here because I am shocked and outraged. What happened in the United Kingdom last week is an absolute disgrace,” the Dutch parliamentarian said while standing outside the UK Embassy in the Hague. “Freedom of speech is being violated all over Europe, and also in Britain. The lights of freedom are going out. Islam critics are taken to court, jailed, or targeted with fatwas.”
Calling Robinson a “freedom fighter,” Wilders called on the UK – “once a bastion of freedom of speech” — to stop “behaving like North Korea and Saudi Arabia” and “gagging its people” while Muslims are “pampered, protected and defended.”
Looking back, only one great power survived the last century as a world power. The German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires did not survive World War I. World War II brought to an end the British, French, Italian and Japanese empires.
The Soviet Union and the United States were the only great surviving powers of World War II, and the USSR itself collapsed between 1989 and 1991.
Then, in 1991, we Americans started down the well-traveled road of empire, smashing Iraq to rescue Kuwait. Heady with that martial triumph, we plunged into Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen.
Though still embroiled, we are now talking war with North Korea or Iran, or even Russia or China, the former over its annexation of Crimea, the latter over its annexation of the South China Sea. …
Defeating Nazism and fascism was a cause. Defending the West against Communism was a cause. But what cause now unites Americans? …
Democracy crusading is out of style as the free elections we have demanded have produced Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Muqtada al-Sadr in Iraq, and nationalists, populists and autocrats from Asia to the Middle East to Europe.
Perhaps our mission is to defend and protect what is vital to us, to stay out of foreign wars where our critical interests are not imperiled, and to reunite our divided and disputatious republic—if we are not too far beyond that.
Hunter says that conservatives may have a culture war advantage in government, but have badly lost elsewhere. To use a Marxist term, liberals control the major means of cultural production (the news and entertainment industries, the academy, etc.).
Because liberals control “the credentialing institutions of our society,” he says, those who want to get to a middle or upper middle class life are going to have to kowtow to liberal culture — a culture that likes to think of itself as open, but which is as closed as any other. Hunter: “So the Harvard Law School prides itself on its diversity, but it’s a diversity in which basically everyone views the world the exact same way.”
Here’s the key insight: Hunter believes that the total dominance progressives have in the culture-making institutions of our society means that their vision is going to win in the long run. …
The victory of progressives in the culture war will not bring peace, because it cannot bring peace. Religious and moral conservatives may well be sidelined in defeat, but that only means that the culture war will rage on other fronts. As Hunter avers, there is no way to settle these issues absent a shared source of cultural authority. …
If orthodox Christian beliefs are a barrier to full participation in the middle and upper middle class, then a lot of people are going to cast them aside. … When being a Christian costs us something in terms of social access, professional success, and economic prosperity, then we are going to see far fewer Christians.
I’ve always identified strongly with the left-leaning side of the political and cultural spectrum. …
If you follow the news stream, it seems that virtually every right-thinking left-leaning (pun intended) journalist, blogger, and social media maven agrees: Peterson is an alt-right wolf in professorial sheep’s clothing, a self-serving charlatan who dresses up old-school misogyny, racism, and elitism in faux-intellectual, fascist mystical garb.
I don’t buy it. I’ve read and listened to enough Peterson to make up my own mind and that’s not how I see him at all. Rather than being forthright about this, though, I’ve tended to cower silently in my alienated corner, fearful that revealing my rejection of the stock anti-Peterson narrative will cause my progressive friends to denounce me and the social media mobs to swarm. …
The hyperbolic uniformity of the leftist attack on Peterson is emblematic of the growing tendency to reduce left-of-center thought to the status of a rigidly simplistic ideology. Increasingly, what passes for progressive political thought today offers little more than a scripted set of weaponized hashtags (you must be pro- #metoo and anti-patriarchy, no further thought required). This narrowing of our public discourse is disturbing, and worrisome on multiple, mutually reinforcing levels. …
No doubt, I’m not the only person who’s wondered what all the fuss is about, decided to take the time to listen to one of Peterson’s YouTube lectures, and come away feeling that the Left’s commentariat is trying to sell me a fake bill of goods. The gap between Peterson’s obvious intelligence and the Left’s scathing denunciation of him as an alt-right idiot is simply too large for many of us to ignore. …
The Left’s attack on Peterson is so unrelenting, so superficial, and quite frequently so vicious, that many of us who work and/or live in left-leaning social environments feel scared to speak up against it. We don’t want to alienate our friends, damage our professional reputations, or attract the attention of fire-breathing activists.
The left is now brittle, stupid, dishonest, and repulsive:
The problem here is not simply that this is unpleasant for people like me. More importantly, our silence further impoverishes everyday political discourse by eliminating more nuanced left-of-center voices. This, in turn, reinforces the already powerful trend toward weaponized hashtag ideology instead of serious political thought. It also drives more people to right-of-center alternatives or away from politics altogether. …
It may be that I’m actually not as alone as it seems. Although I can’t prove it, I suspect that there are many others who feel as I do but are keeping quiet, as they don’t want to risk the blowback that comes with countering the often frightening force of today’s ideological tides. …
I’m much more concerned with — and disgusted by — the endless stream of tendentious and dishonest articles from leftists critics that grab onto such statements and blow them out of proportion, while aggressively erasing everything else the man has ever said or done from the record. …
I find it even more aggravating that such distortion is typically coupled with a predictable string of gratuitous insults (Peterson is a misogynist, a racist, a transphobe, and so on). Then there’s the self-righteous hand-waving towards some grandiose, yet utterly vague political project (“abolish patriarchy” etc.). If I didn’t have a longstanding commitment to equalitarian politics, I’d be so turned off by these dynamics that I’d want nothing more to do with the Left whatsoever. …
The real difference between conservatives and leftists:
Conservatives of this stripe mistrust radical movements that are ready to rip apart a cultural fabric that took generations to weave in pursuit of some idealistic vision of social justice. They believe that there is such a thing as ‘human nature,’ and that it’s highly fallible, and inevitably bedeviled by problems such as envy, corruption, and greed.
Consequently, such conservatives have no faith in leftist visions of a transformational ‘revolution’ that will definitively destroy oppression and establish a truly just society. Instead, they see them as dangerously naïve, and likely to produce violent anarchy and/or repressive authoritarianism. While acknowledging the realities of social injustice, they believe that political reforms need to be cautiously incremental — in a word, conservative.
We saw this left-wing smear machine in action just a few days ago. I highlighted an example from a debate in Toronto where Michael Dyson claimed Peterson was an example of white privilege and then called him a “mean, mad, white man” when Peterson dared to object. And that was only one of several possible examples I could have pointed to from that debate.
Here’s another example. Writer Michelle Goldberg accused Peterson of saying women “shouldn’t be allowed to wear make-up” at work. When he denied that, she told the audience he’d said it in an interview with Vice and told the audience to Google it. But if you Google it, you’ll find that in the full interview Peterson says explicitly, “I’m not saying that women shouldn’t do it and I’m not saying that it should be banned.” The video below contains video of both events. Could Michelle Goldberg have looked this up on her own? Probably so. So why didn’t she do that before rolling out this attack in a debate?
Peterson doesn’t get a fair shake from the left because the goal is not to engage with him but to make him appear so toxic that no one will be willing to engage with him.
The classic in this genre is the now infamous “interview” of Peterson by Cathy Newman. I’m putting the word interview in quotes because this isn’t really an investigation of ideas, it’s a series of increasingly silly attacks designed to convince viewers that Peterson is toxic and/or irrational.
Carol Horton is correct. The left isn’t listening to Jordan Peterson, they’re just trying to destroy him as efficiently and quickly as possible. That dynamic says a lot about the left, none of it very good. Kudos to Horton for having the courage to stand up to the mob. …
I wish I could say I was optimistic about Peterson’s chances, but I’ve seen the left’s scorched-earth playbook in action before and it usually succeeds. Throw enough garbage at the wall and eventually, a few bits stick. Those become all the excuse a compliant media needs to silence the target. Frankly, it’s a credit to Peterson’s quick wit that he’s survived as long as he has given both the degree to which he’s willing to challenge the left’s assumptions and the firepower they are deploying against him.
A prominent Russian investigative journalist was shot dead on Tuesday in Ukraine’s capital, Kiev.
Arkady Babchenko died from his injuries on the way to the hospital after being shot in the back near the entrance to his Kiev apartment, Ukrainian law enforcement said on social media. …
Babchenko, a Chechen war veteran and a staunch critic of President Vladimir Putin, left Russia out of safety concerns after covering the conflict in Ukraine. His murder follows the earlier death of Ukranian-Belarussian journalist Pavel Sheremet by car bomb in central Kiev in 2016.
ABC, in a stunning move, has decided to cancel its Roseanne revival following star Roseanne Barr’s racist tweet Tuesday.
muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj
— Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 29, 2018
“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said Tuesday. …
Barr subsequently apologized: “I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me — my joke was in bad taste.”
Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger also weighed in on the decision to cancel Roseanne: “There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing,” he tweeted. …
Barr’s tweet prompted a massive outcry across social media, with thousands condemning the actress-comedian’s comments and calling on ABC to cancel her series. The Disney-owned network’s decision to cancel the comedy marked the first time the network has taken action in response to one of Barr’s controversial tweets. …
Roseanne was slated to return in the fall for an expanded 11th season of 13 episodes as ABC looked to build on the show’s momentum. In a victory lap of sorts, Barr was the centerpiece of ABC’s upfront presentation to Madison Avenue ad buyers earlier this month. The revival was part of a larger effort by Dungey — broadcast’s lone African-American network topper — to cater to the underserved community who turned out in force to elect Donald Trump.
A mere nine hours after Roseanne Barr posted an astonishingly racist tweet about Obama intimate Valerie Jarrett, the American Broadcasting Company did something that has never happened before in the history of broadcasting: It canceled TV’s #1 show.
The show was heralded as the first program to try and make sense of the Trump era, and it generated an enormous audience that dissipated some over the course of three months but was still in powerhouse territory.
Networks like ABC build entire weekly schedules around giant hits like Roseanne, so its departure from the airwaves isn’t just a matter of replacing it with another half-hour. This was a decision that had to sting and sting hard.
So, if you are not sufficiently PC, one tweet or statement is enough for you to lose your job — even if the PC broadcaster had to can the #1 show on TV to do it. Barr’s apology did nothing but encourage the PC mob.
Of course, the real crime of Roseaanne Barr was to be non-PC and popular on TV. So they took away her TV show.
Notice this only works one way. Disgusting “jokes” about non-PC people occur nightly on liberal US TV, and Australian TV copies the tone if not the volume. Has Kimmel or Colbert been canceled yet? I don’t think so.
Their jokes are funny and edgy. Ours are bad and a firing excuse.
Jarrett, who is African-American with no ties to the Sunni Muslim organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood, was one of most senior and long-term presences in the Obama White House and a lightning rod for right-wing critics. …
During the Obama administration, rumors swirled on right-wing blogs that Jarrett secretly intended to promote Islam in the United States and that she once expressed her desire to make America a “more Islamic country.”
Barr is currently starring in a wildly successful reboot of her old comedy series “Roseanne” on ABC, but has faced rising backlash from some online over her combative Twitter presence.
Today’s news in which 65-year-old actress Roseanne Barr, having pulled off one of the more stunning comebacks in TV history — first reassembling her great supporting cast (John Goodman, Laurie Metcalfe, etc.) and then winning giant ratings — blew up her revived “Roseanne” show with a pretty suicidal tweet reminds us again of why the concept of Rule By Actresses had never occurred to any political political theorist before.
Rehov’s video [Behind the smoke screen] revealed the reality of the so-called “peaceful demonstrations” against Israel’s alleged “blockade” of Gaza. Rehov exposed the “demonstrations” as terrorist assaults on Israel staged by Hamas. Rehov invited viewers: “Watch Hamas hate speeches. See how they build their propaganda at the expense of brainwashed, deceived and manipulated unfortunate people. Understand why Israel has no choice but to protect itself using lethal force.”
Rehov’s videos have now been removed from YouTube and Rehov’s account shuttered “for violating YouTube’s community guidelines.” What is happening here?

We started with an education on cheese!! And it was very interesting. We really enjoyed traveling through the different areas and learning the history of the island. Our tour guide was great. We rented a car and this tour will help us navigate the island. Definitely a repeatable experience.
We had a great time on our tour with Randy and our friendly driver, Rafael. The food on St. Maarten/Martin is awesome but even though we have visited the island many times we were introduced to new spots. Randy was happy to share his knowledge of the island even explaining the new parliamentary form of government. A wonderful tour. All 4 of us had a great day.
So. Much. Fun. This tour was offered as an excursion during our cruise. What a blast! We had the opportunity to stop at 4 different places: cheese/wine, a french restaurant, a bbq joint, and an ice cream shop. The tour guide was extremely informative and a joy to spend a few hours with. If you have a few hours to spare and enjoy food, this is the tour for you!
My party had a wonderful time on the Flavors of St Martin Food Tour from the wine and cheese that preceded our journey to the luscious ice cream and carnival carousel ride that ended it. Our guide Anike was engaging, entertaining and very funny as she opened up the island's culinary history to us. Stops along the way at Antoine's By the Sea (highly recommended), the Sky's the Limit (ditto), and the Carousel Ice Cream Shop were great. One of my party is a chef, and she enjoyed the experience immensely. What a nice experience.
As a family of five, we had a great experience with our tour. Randy was entertaining and informative. Something for everyone. The places we stopped were all extremely friendly and accommodating. Definitely would do this again.
Great day, Anke was a charming and fun guide. She took us to different parts of the island with a light hearted commentary along the way. Visited and tasted some great food. Really got a taste for the island!
We really enjoyed the whole experience. The food was excellent and I liked the complete mix of everything!
We recently visited the island of St Martin and chose to do a culinary tour with Flavors of St Martin. It was such a fun experience!! Our guide, Ankie, was informative, entertaining, and full of a passion for everything food!! Anyone traveling to St Martin should definitely reserve a tour with Flavors of St Martin!!

By C. Michael Forsyth
A spirited debate is being waged on the Internet and in churches across America about which gun Jesus Christ would pack.
Some preachers say that if the Lord were alive today, He would tote a high-powered semi-automatic assault rife, while others insist He’d sling an old-fashioned cowboy six-shooter as a symbol of justice. But all agree that when the Second Coming rolls around, Jesus will be loaded for bear.
“Jesus, who said ‘Suffer the little children to come unto me,’ was protective of the weak and defenseless, and He would carry the means to keep them safe from harm,” explains the Rev. Houldercraft of Charleston, S.C, a longtime gun-rights supporter.
“Although kind and gentle, He also accepted that violence was sometimes necessary against evildoers, like when He chased the money changers out of the temple. Today the Messiah would use the modern weapons at His disposal. It’s ridiculous for liberals to argue that He’d go after sinners with a handful of rocks and a sling.”
“Personally, I believe His weapon of choice would be the M1911,” continued the clergyman. “It’s a highly versatile pistol from Colt with plenty of stopping power that’s remarkably reliable even after it falls in mud or sand.”
Here are 10 other guns that top Bible scholars nationwide contend Christ might carry:
Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector Revolver
This double-action/single-action revolver would allow the Son of God to be quick on the trigger in any situation.
“For precise shooting, the crisp single-action trigger pull is extraordinary, and the double-action smoothness is unsurpassed,” notes the Reverend Terry Smiltwood of Arkansas, a lifelong hunter and gun-safety expert. “It’s equally well suited for hunting, personal defense or blowing sinners to Kingdom Come.”
This popular handgun’s injection-molded polymer frame makes it light and resistant to corrosion.
“It holds a 17-round-capacity double-stack magazine to quickly take out a hit team of the Antichrist’s minions, who won’t be crazy about the Second Coming,” notes Rev. Greg Kestlebury of Tennessee. “And the grip is relatively slim, perfect for Jesus who’s described as having small and delicate hands.
“Most importantly, the weapon is considered ‘cool’ by criminals and gang members, the very types of sinners our Lord would wish to win over. A Glock pointed between their eyes would quickly win their respect and gain Him entry to their world.”
Most U.S. Bible experts agree Christ will return to Earth in America, since our nation embodies freedom and everything else He stands for. It seems only natural that He’ll pack an all-American weapon like this sturdy cowboy six-shooter, known as The Gun that Won the West.
“This iconic handgun was wielded by frontiersmen, outlaws and sheriffs,” notes Bible scholar and gun-rights activist Herbert C. Hurbwell of Lousiana. “Custer held one in his hand at the Last Stand and Teddy Roosevelt brandished one when he charged up San Juan Hill. Marshalls used this potent symbol of frontier justice to keep the peace in our past, just as Jesus will bring peace to our world in the near future.
“In the final showdown between Christ and the Antichrist, I believe He’ll carry the same gun in His holster that Matt Dillon used in ‘Gunsmoke’ — and I pity the fool who thinks he can outdraw Jesus.”
.44 Remington Magnum
No weapon puts the fear of God into evildoers more than the handgun toted by Dirty Harry. Once touted as the most powerful handgun in the world, the .44 Magnum delivers a large, heavy bullet with high velocity that can take a sinner’s head clean off.
“Jesus is a God of love who expects the best of us. He literally wants each and every one of us to ‘make His day,’ ” argues Bishop Carl L. Surliss of West Virginia. “But those who violate His holy commandments face His wrath.”
With deeply penetrating bullets, the Magnum is also suitable for short-range hunting of animals as large as moose.
“Jesus was no sissy,” the preacher observes. “Just as our Lord relaxed with His disciples with games of His day like the ancient Hebrew version of soccer, today He would engage in manly recreation such as hunting and fishing.”
NAA Guardian Pistol
Far smaller than a Beretta 92 Compact, this dainty death-dealer could easily be concealed beneath Christ’s flowing robes.
“The element of surprise would be key for Jesus, whose enemies would expect the ‘meek and mild’ Savior of mankind to be unarmed,” notes Catherine Ziplanski, a leading Bible scholar and gun enthusiast. “So a small, easily concealed handgun really makes the most sense. The Guardian is sometimes pooh-poohed as a ‘lady’s gun,’ but it packs plenty of wallop.”
Remington 11-87 Shotgun
Stopping power will be the main concern of Jesus when he goes toe-to-toe with the formidable Beast described in the Bible, thus a 12-gauge shotgun would be the obvious choice, many insist.
“This gas-operated shotgun can carry a 3” magnum shell,” notes the Reverend Cal Huskley of North Carolina. “It could stop the Antichrist in his tracks whether he appears as a sinister child like Damien in ‘The Omen’ or as a rampaging monster.”
Winchester Model 70
The Lord would likely unwind by hunting with disciples, so a good, solid deer-hunting rifle would be in order. A possible choice would be this updated version of Winchester 1892 that Chuck Connors toted in the beloved TV show “The Rifleman.”
“Who can forget how Connors, as widower Lucas McCain, taught his son homespun American values, or how he fired 12 shots from his rifle in just seconds in the opening credits?” asks Ted Vechwuller, another authority on the Scriptures. “Those are the values – home, family, standing up for what’s right – that our Lord would want to instill in us, at the point of a gun if necessary.
“And if the demonic hordes of the Antichrist overcome Him and He runs out of bullets, one can easily imagine Him swinging the rifle butt as a club like Davy Crockett at the Alamo, before sacrificing His life, once again, for mankind.
This cousin of the M16 rifle used in Vietnam is popular among patriotic militia leaders, hunters with poor aim and homemakers alike.
“The Bible describes Armageddon as a final war between good and evil,” explains Henry R. Clatters of Alabama. “As our Lord leads His followers into battle singing ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers,’ it would be fitting for Him to bear this military-style rifle.”
Lightweight, easily concealable under a robe, and boasting a high rate of fire, this sub-machine gun might be the little friend Christ tells His enemies to “say hello” to.
“When you absolutely, positively have to kill every Pharisee in the room, an Uzi is what you need,” points out Bishop Charles R. Culway of Idaho. “The fact that it is an Israeli-made weapon from the Holy Land would of course make it especially appropriate for Our Lord.”
The armies of the Antichrist mean business, and Jesus will need a weapon powerful enough to take out the Evil One’s tanks. The Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot or RPG is the most widely used anti-tank weapon in the world.
“Our Lord is the Prince of Peace,” declares Rev. Bob Hiltonbell of Kentucky. “He wouldn’t hesitate to use a rocket-propelled grenade launcher to bring peace to the world.”

Are people more likely to trust people who are "like" them? A recent article published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology suggests that this is the case. The article suggests that people are less likely to trust people with heavy accents. In the study, Shiri Lev-Ari and Boaz Keysar set up an experiment where they had 55 English speaking Americans judge the truthfulness of several trivia statements read by people with varying accents. The participants were more likely to believe statements read by English speaking Americans than individuals with mild and moderate accents.
Accents may be one factor that affects whether someone will trust a person. Other factors may include how a person dresses and how they act. One of Michael Westen's infamous and clever spy suggestions in Burn Notice is to act like your target, as this will most likely help you gain your target's trust. "Every kid who ever went to a new school knows the secret to fitting in: copy everyone else. Spies do the same thing. Tailor their wardrobe, their movement, and their behavior to imitate their targets- all the little things that say, I'm your kind of guy." (From "Fearless Leader")

(ORDO NEWS) — Even after a long experience of interacting with people in masks, we did not get better at recognizing their faces. Perhaps these abilities in adults can no longer improve.
The novel coronavirus pandemic has been going on for more than two years, and people around the world are forced to wear masks every now and then to limit the spread of the infection.
During this time, neural networks have taken a huge step forward and now identify a person’s face, even if his face is covered with a medical mask.
It is natural to assume that our own natural neural networks that recognize masked people have also improved. However, this did not happen, as shown by the new work of psychologists from the UK and Israel.
Erez Freud, a professor at the University of York, and his colleagues conducted a series of experiments on about 2,000 adult volunteers.
Their abilities were assessed using the Glasgow Face Match (GFMT) and Cambridge Face Memory (CFMT) tests: participants were required to recognize and compare faces, both natural and distorted, such as upside down or wearing medical masks.
Different samples were tested at six different points in time during the pandemic. In addition, the group was tested at the very beginning of the pandemic and a year later.
In neither option did the participants show any improvement in recognition. Previous CFMT tests have shown that the mask reduces the accuracy of face identification by an average of 15 percent – and exactly the same picture was observed after a year of the pandemic.
“Neither time nor the experience of interacting with masks has changed or weakened their influence (on perception – ed.), – says Erez Freud. “This suggests that the adult brain does not appear to be able to change in terms of facial recognition ability.”
In toddlers, these abilities develop very quickly and are highly dependent on experience and frequent observation of the faces of other people.
In this regard, Professor Freud adds that it would be especially interesting to know how the pandemic affected this process in children, how it influenced the formation of the ability to recognize faces with and without masks. But this is a subject for a separate work in the future.

Two successive league defeat have left manager Steve Davis demanding a positive reaction against Hartlepool United this weekend.
|“We have to remain positive, take what we need from the game and move on” – Steve Davis|
The Alex followed up their 1-0 weekend loss at MK Dons with a poor performance as struggling Oldham Athletic claimed only their second league victory of the season at Gresty Road.
A disappointing 2-0 defeat courtesy of goals from substitute James Tarkowski and ex-Blackburn Rovers striker Matt Derbyshire witnessed the hosts slipping another three places in the table.
“Now it is about how they react. I’m not one for looking back,” said Davis to Crewe’s official website. “We have to remain positive, take what we need from the game and move on. I want the players to enjoy winning games again and take it from there.”
|LATEST ON THE VITAL CREWE FORUMS …|


Michigan State sophomore Gary Harris was the Spartans leading scorer this season and often times the best player on the floor, so it’s no surprise that CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish is reporting that he’ll enter this year’s NBA Draft.
Michigan State sophomore Gary Harris will, barring a surprising change of plans, eventually announce that he’s entering the 2014 NBA Draft, sources told CBSSports.com on Tuesday.
“He’s going to go,” one source said. “And he probably should.”
Head coach Tom Izzo, who had a meeting with his players yesterday after their Elite 8 defeat, says that if research showed Harris is projected as a top guard NBA prospect he’d likely advise him to turn pro.
Losing Harris along with senior starters Adreian Payne and Keith Appling would definitely serve to be difficult for Izzo, but it’s good to know that he will advise his players to do what’s best for them and not his basketball program.

LimeGreenLegend 3,915 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) This month we are going international as the film club watches a movie in a language that we've not yet covered, as suggested by @djw180. So no films in English, French, Norwegian, Korean or Japanese could be nominated. The winning film, nominated by me, is Federico Fellini's neorealist drama, La Strada (The Road). It stars Giulietta Masina as Gelsomina, a naive and simple young woman whose mother sells her to a travelling circus to be the wife and assistant of the brutish strongman, Zampanò (Anthony Quinn). She soon falls in love with the circus's clown, Il Matteo (Richard Baseheart) and considers leaving her jeasous and violent husband for him. I'm really looking forward to watching this as I'm both a fan of Fellini, and of Masina. Their other collaboration that I've seen, Nights of Cabiria in which Masina plays a down on her luck prostitute, is one of my favourite films ever and her performance one of the best I've ever seen. Masina was his muse and his inspiration, and you can feel the love he has for her in the way he films her. The two were married from 1943 until his death in 1993. This is considered one of Fellini's greatest masterpieces, so if you've never seen a film of his before you are in for a treat. the fool is hurt Edited September 3, 2021 by LimeGreenLegend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cover Tuesday: I'm Getting Older Too
By Justin Cates
"Landslide" was released by Fleetwood Mac in 1975 and you still hear that version quite a bit in commercials and elsewhere. Whenever I hear it though, I'm reminded of how much I prefer the 1994 version released by the Smashing Pumpkins.
The stark acoustic guitar paired with Billy Corgan's mournful vocals is a huge departure from the angst-ridden aggressive style of most Pumpkins tracks.
I couldn't find the studio version on YouTube but it's worth downloading—legally even—if you're into that sort of thing. This is the audio of a live performance from 2010.
Next we have a pretty amazing cover completely different stylistically from the original.
Again it's a soft, introspective rendition but this time it's of Metallica's blood-pumping classic "Enter Sandman".
Youn Sun Nah is a South Korean jazz singer with a beautiful voice that turns an arena anthem into something completely different.
This is the first time I've been able to listen to this song without feeling compelled to run through a brick wall. The song is now completely haunting and unnerving in a way it never has been.
"Sleep with one eye open" has a far creepier connotation when it's being sung sweetly over acoustic guitar instead of James Hetfield growling over loud guitar riffs.
Things take a dark turn in the middle of this version too with some terrifying vocal runs and demonic breathing/singing that takes this cover in a very different direction.
This last cover isn't really something I'm terribly into, but I'm sure it will please at least one of our regular readers.
This is a band called A Static Lullaby covering Britney Spears' "Toxic" for a compilation called Punk Goes Pop.
I would enjoy this a lot more without the periodic scream/singing in the chorus, but this version still does a fine job of destroying Britney's original.
Besides I though we needed something loud and aggressive after two quiet, thoughtful covers.

pH Measurement: Best Practices
pH Sample Collection
pH changes rapidly when sample is exposed to air due to changes in the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, so best practice is to analyze pH continuously or "when continuous monitoring is not possible, a grab sample should be collected carefully to minimize aeration and splashing. Samples should be analyzed as soon as possible after sampling, while taking extreme care not to shake the sample or stir rapidly during the measurement.
Waters that are not at equilibrium with the atmosphere such as groundwater or high-pH waters are subject to changes when exposed to the atmosphere; therefore, the sample containers should be filled completely and kept sealed prior to analysis..." (Reference 1).
pH also depends on the temperature of the tested sample, this is why it is important to measure the pH as quickly as possible after the sample collection to minimize the impact of temperature on pH reading.
See Health “Canada's Guideline Technical Document – pH” for more info here.
The most accurate method to measure the pH of a water sample in the field is by using pH meters or online pH sensors. Handheld pH meters are typically inexpensive and quick and easy to use. In-line, continuous pH sensors are also relatively common, especially in the water treatment industry.
However, regardless of the cost and complexity of the device, if the electrode is not maintained properly, the accuracy of readings can be questionable. Infrequently used or improperly maintained electrodes are subject to corrosion, which makes them highly inaccurate.
The procedure for measuring pH is the same whether it is conducted in the field or lab.
If necessary, soak the electrode in electrode cleaning solution for a few minutes to dissolve the deposits.
Rinse electrode with deionized water.
Calibrate electrode using at a minimum two, preferably three buffers (typically, pH 4.0, 7.0, 10.0). Make sure to rinse with deionized water between different buffers and after calibration.
Place electrode into a water sample.
Stir the sample with pH sensor and allow pH value to stabilize. Record the pH value.
Rinse electrode with deionized water and store in an electrode storage solution.
Measure the pH of the pH 4, 7 and 10 buffers periodically to ensure that the pH meter is not drifting off calibration. If it has drifted, recalibrate it.

After his business was forced to close for two months, Killeen tattoo parlor owner Josh Snyder said he is thrilled to get back to serving clients.
However, some tattoo shops didn’t survive. Snyder said he personally knows shop owners who have closed their doors and will not be able to reopen.
“That’s destroyed families. That’s serious,” said Snyder, who owns Iron Rite Tattoo. “Mental and economic health are just as important as our physical health. We have to be able to provide for our families. One stimulus check that covers a quarter of my income for several months doesn’t cut it.”
The shop’s doors were closed in March when mandates from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott prohibited tattoo shops from operating during the response to the international pandemic COVID-19.
More than 20 tattoo parlors across Killeen are now able to open their doors since the governor — in a Monday announcement about reopenings across the state — said tattoo shops could also open back up immediately.
The mandate requires the use of facemasks when possible, a 6-foot separation between individuals, regular hand washing and self-screening for signs of COVID-19 including cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, diarrhea and a fever more than 100 degrees.
While customary friendly greetings and customer service can be anticipated by clients entering Iron Rite Tattoo, 1113 W. Veterans Memorial Blvd Suite A, the lobby will look a little different to the customers seeking a tattoo since they reopened Tuesday.
Hand sanitizer stations are set up throughout the shop, and magazines and other items that may be touched by multiple people have been removed from the lobby as an added precaution against the spread of the coronavirus, Snyder said.
Aside from the health concern due to COVID-19, Snyder mentioned the economic concern from having so many businesses closed for a long space of time.
“Some are waiting until Monday or Friday based on they already had plans or rescheduling appointments; across the board, everyone is reopening,” Snyder said. “Of course we’re concerned with our health and safety and the health and safety of our clients. But we are also family men and women with kids to think about — that has to take precedence. We want to keep roofs over their head and food in their stomach.”
Additionally, Snyder said the risk of getting sick after months of no income is more terrifying than being able to work and set money aside in case he gets ill.
“We’d rather get sick with money in savings, than starve and get sick anyway,” Snyder said.
Some tattoo shops across the state — including Holey Moley Tattoos and Piercings in Killeen — opened in recent weeks in defiance of the shutdown order.
Snyder said he doesn’t think the policy pertaining to tattoo shops was changed because of the protests of tattoo shop owners across the Texas, but said he believes the outspokenness of the tattoo community helped raise awareness about industry regulations.
“I don’t think he changed his ruling just to appease tattooers,” Snyder said. “But it did open his eyes to do a little more research into the type of standards that are held by tattooers. ... In the past, we were regarded by people who are not privy to the industry as an outlaw thing.”
All along, Snyder said tattoo parlors’ routine cleanliness standards are much higher than grocery stores, retailers, restaurants and other businesses that were deemed essential early in the COVID-19 response and recovery plan.
“This is not 1979, this is 2020 — it’s heavily regulated,” Snyder said. “Outside of medical facilities, there is no more heavily mandated and regulated industry when it comes to cleanliness and sanitation than the tattoo industry. It’s a legitimate industry now.”
Synder said his shop has a variety of clients, including doctors, lawyers and police.
“Everyone’s getting tattooed now, it’s not the same as it used to be. We’re not strip clubs and bars,” Snyder said. “No one needs to feel concerned with the safety of whether or not they should be going to get tattoos, as long as they do their research and go to a reputable shop that’s taking precautions.”
While tattoo parlors are maintained in an extremely sanitary fashion, Snyder said like shops across the state, Iron Rite Tattoo is taking additional precautions.
“We are now cleaning the station both before and after tattoos with medical grade cleansers, instead of just after,” Snyder said. “We’re using facemasks and strongly encouraging our customers to wear face masks.”
Along with standard medical grade cleaners and heavy regulation by the Health Department, Snyder said added precautions have been implemented because of the COVID-19 threat.
“We wash our hands and wear gloves,” Snyder said. “Needles, tubes and the caps that hold the ink are all single use. We can control the number of people in our shop better than any major retailer or any of the businesses that have been able to open.”
In keeping with requirements by the governor’s latest mandate, the shop is serving customers by appointment only, he said.
“Clients call us from the parking lot, and we come to the car to handle consultations that way,” Snyder said. “That leads to less traffic inside the shop. We are also limiting the number of people they can bring with them for the procedure — no additional people in the shop that are not necessary.”
Ultimately, Snyder said prejudice against the tattoo industry seems to be rooted in ignorance.
“Ignorance goes much farther than our government,” Snyder said. “Many people see getting a tattoo as taking an unnecessary risk, but in all honesty, they are taking a bigger risk going to their local grocery shop than a tattoo parlor. You’re safe. Legally, by the rules we have to follow on a daily basis, you’re safe.”
