Nelson Mandela Bay Surf Pro presented by Billabong Day One – Pollock Beach Small, light onshore but highly contestable conditions met the competitors in the inaugural World Surf League (WSL) World Qualifying Series (WSL) event this morning. After a slight delay, while waiting for the conditions to settle, it was straight into the QS event. Comprising World Surf League (WSL) Qualifying Series (QS) rated events for men and women, plus Junior Qualifying Series (JQS) events for men and women aged 18-and-under, the Nelson Mandela Bay Surf Pro offers a total prize-pool of R80,000 plus points counting towards international and regional rankings lists. Billabong South Africa is the presenting sponsor, and they were in attendance as the best surfers in the country, as well as a contingent of international surfers, gathered for the start. "Billabong is really proud to be kicking off the inaugural Surf City Series in our backyard of Port Elizabeth. It is a fantastic initiative and an awesome opportunity for our local surfers to finally have their own domestic tour. Well done to everyone who made it possible and the best of luck to all the surfers competing," said Chad D'Arcy, Billabong South Africa's Marketing Manager. The QS1,000 rated men’s event features a 64 man field including the cream of South Africa’s surfers. The top seed is Michael February (Kommetjie), currently the country’s highest QS ranked surfer at No. 65, followed by 2016 WSL Africa champion Beyrick de Vries (uMhlanga), Dylan Lightfoot (Jeffreys Bay) and Braden Jones (USA).

Reigning WSL Africa Junior champion Adin Masencamp (Strand), Sebastian Williams (Durban) and Kommetjie residents Jake Elkington and Ford van Jaarsveldt are the top four in the JQS1,000 junior . . .
Riders can look forward to some interesting, fast-paced descents and several short, sharp climbs when they tackle stage two of the Garden Route 300 mountain bike race next month. Race director Patric Mosterd said participants would be "in for a treat" on the shortest stage of the 200km, three-day event that gets under way at the Knysna Yacht Club on April 28. With the start on the Dormehl dairy farm some 40km outside Knysna on the Sedgefield road, he said much of the 50km course would be on the manicured trails of the trail park. However, he warned that the day's riding could "prove taxing to many of the riders". "The trail park consists of purpose-built tracks which have been constructed to international standards," he said. "This means the trails are always kept in good condition, making them fast. There are many berms that increase the riding experience as they allow participants to keep the speed up." Mosterd said the idea was to provide fast descents into the valley, followed by a climb out. "Fast single-track takes you down into the valley with a lot of zig-zagging to generate a thrill for the riders." However, Mosterd added that there were enough short, sharp climbs to keep the attention of everyone. "It's not mountainous, but the route is demanding because it is busy and there is never a dull moment." He said the degree of difficulty was linked to the speed at which you rode and that the route provided a chance for everyone to comfortably complete the stage. "Technically anybody can ride the trails. It's not dangerous because you can do it slowly and safely at no risk. "The course is designed for speed, so there is greater risk attached for the guys who are a bit quicker. "But the trails often attract whole families so they are really for everyone." Mosterd said after leaving the start at Dormehl Farm, there was an open stretch of dirt road which would assist in spreading the field to a degree. "This is quite . . .
eCommerce is set to increase in popularity and buy-in consumers in South Africa in 2017. This is due to a number of supporting trends of greater variety offered by online shopping sites, the evolution of eCommerce websites offer Android and ISO shopping app's. South African consumers are increasingly turning to compare e-commerce shops when looking for, and purchase a variety of items. 26% of respondents of a recent survey do their first online purchase in June 2015 - a massive recent survey compared to the total number of new online shopping for the period July 2015 - June 2016 (14%). "According to Kevin Tucker, founder of Price Check" The use of mobile devices - such as the smartphones is an important consideration for online retailers in terms of ensuring mobile-friendly online display settings, in presenting the development of mobile applications and the introduction of new payment options. While the majority of the mobile online shopping transactions tend to take place on desktops, shopping programs that are easy and convenient to use on mobile devices is likely to increase in popularity in South Africa this year. In today's app-centric world, research suggests that customers prefer using the mobile web as a place to shop when compared to eCommerce apps. This means that having a high-performing, responsive site is just as important as investing in an app. This data also suggests that: 31% of consumers prefer shopping on the mobile web against the use of a smartphone app. 52% of mobile phone retail turnover is expected to come from the Web in 2017. 62% of smartphone shoppers use to find their mobile for products in online store. 47% of shoppers say they have a mobile website directly against 21% who say they use app a dealer in online shopping. The majority of online retailers under-utilise their chance to sell through a responsive eCommerce website. The big advantage now is that the latest App Technology has the ability to . . .
Senior Landscape Architect, Lizelle Wolmarans at GIBB, one of South Africa’s leading black-owned engineering consulting firms, presented a paper on child safety in playgrounds at the three-day Congress for the Institute of World Urban Parks (WUP) and Environment and Recreation Management (IERM) in Cape Town last month. Leading parks professionals and parks agencies from around the world resolving to protect and enhance the world’s urban parks and green spaces in the face of looming global challenges was present at this Congress. The paper, titled Risky Play and Children’s Safety: Balancing Priorities for Optimal Child Development focused on the construction of playgrounds, safety and safety standards of equipment used in playgrounds as well as the influence it has on physical and mental child development. Play experts such as Environmental Psychologists, Child Development Specialists, Landscape Architects and Educators are advocating a re-assessment of the play environment. While the safety of children should never be neglected, Wolmarans explained the dangers of being over-protective as potentially detrimental to a child’s development. “Our environment is not without risk and therefore, we need to learn how to manage risk continuously as a survival skill. However, where risk is eliminated from playgrounds, challenge is eliminated leading to boredom where children may potentially feel the need to take excessive risk using equipment inappropriately that can cause unintentional injury,” said Wolmarans. South Africa has adopted the international playground safety standards, these standards are not legalised but serve as a guideline to prevent hazardous risks. Locally, our decisions need to be influenced by security, economy and future sustainability. In the case of security, it is a fact that children are living in dangerous environments in their homes and neighbourhoods. Some of the dangers are traffic, kidnapping, crime and drugs. Supervision and . . .
If you think that dagga is a dangerous narcotic, then you have been duped through propaganda. Dagga is as traditional to SA as biltong, boerebeskuit and witblits. It fascinated JV Riebeeck and missionaries extolled its virtues. It grows like a weed, is medicinal in its natural form with a lower potential for harm to self and society than sugar. Supported by science (endocannabinoid system), legal in 24 USA states with 200 million US citizens having access to it as medicine (endocannabinoid system) + populations of 11 other countries. Deaths from opioid overdoses has also dropped by up to 25% in states with legal dagga. The current 'war on drugs' is a broken system. It's a war on people and does little to protect anyone from substance abuse. It's the same mentality that was used to justify enforcing the mixed marriages act, where the offender is also the victim. A perverse incentive to put people into prison. From physical prison to social prison with a subsequent criminal record. You will find plenty of peer reviewed studies, medical professionals (Joycelyn Elders, Andrew Weil, Lester Grinspoon, Deborah Malka, Sanjay Gupta, Abrams, Suzanne Sisley, Denis Petro, Ethan Russo, Uma Dhanabalan, Jeffrey Block, Bonni Goldstein, Juan Sanchez-Ramos..) who support dagga as a therapeutic plant. In SA, the Bobby Greenhash foundation PTY is supplying dagga oil to people suffering with terminal diseases. Their testimonials to the healing power of dagga is worth a read. The SA central drug authority (CDA) has also called for the decriminalization of dagga and a recent study they commissioned, concluded that dagga kills cervical cancer. Vilifying dagga and then using that stance to 'protect our children' is pointless. Rather fact based solutions (science) focusing on harm reduction through healthcare and education, as recommended by the SA substance abuse experts, S Kelley and Quintin Van Kerken. Better that control of dagga is removed from the streets and regulated . . .

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 31 August, 2016 – Samsung Electronics Co. recently announced that all of its 2016 UHD TV models have attained the Ultra High Definition (UHD) TV certification from Digital Europe (DE), a collaborative body of European IT and consumer electronics businesses. Comprised of 62 corporate members and 37 National Trade Associations, DE is one of the most influential organisations representing the digital technology industry in Europe. According to Matthew Thackrah, Deputy Managing Director and Head of Consumer Electronics at Samsung Electronics South Africa, Samsung TVs, ranging from the 2016 SUHD TV lineup to the Series 6 UHD TVs, have all met the strict standards set for UHD TV certification as specified by DE. “These products will now carry the European UHD TV certification logo, as well as the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) label. Both certification labels will be on display on Samsung UHD TVs at this year’s IFA exhibition,” he explains. For certification purposes, DE has specifically defined a ‘pixel’ as the minimum picture resolution element capable of rendering the same luminance scale as the entire display. The horizontal and vertical pixel count must be of the complete red, green and blue triple sub-pixel block, while not counting additional non-RGB sub-pixels. Additional criteria listed to earn the DE certification include: Minimum native resolution of the display (e.g. LCD, PDP, OLED) or display engine (e.g. DLP) is 3840 x 2160 in 16:9 aspect ratio. Minimum supported colorimetric is at BT.709 or above. The display-device has at least one end-to-end signal path available to the user that does not render a UHD input at a frame rate or resolution lower than that received over the UHD interface from the source. The display-device has at least one end-to-end signal path available to the user that does not reduce the resolution, nor reduce the frame rate of a UHD input during processing prior to . . .
Promotion offers Samsung consumers the chance to win a trip to the Maldives JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 31 August, 2016 – The majority of South Africans are thankful to note that winter is finally coming to an end and that they can once again get ready to unpack their shorts and sandals. Samsung Electronics South Africa shares this sentiment and has therefore decided to offer consumers a chance to get into the spirit of summer. The company is launching its ‘Kick Start Your Summer’ competition on the 1st of September 2016. Scheduled to run until 30th September 2016; the initiative will see 15 lucky winners win the trip of a lifetime to the beautiful islands of the Maldives. “Entering the competition is quite easy”, says Michael McKechnie, Director of Digital Appliances Group at Samsung Electronics SA. “Consumers simply need to purchase any qualifying Samsung air conditioning product through a recognised retailer, send the unique product serial number to the competition hotline via SMS and wait to see if they are one of the lucky names drawn at the end of the competition. Winners will be drawn on 14 October 2016 and proof of purchase, as well as the serial number will be required to validate wins” he explains. Once validated, the customer will receive an SMS with a winning pin code and the concierge service number to call to book their trips to the island. “The good news for customers is that this is just the first of a number of exciting promotions planned by Samsung over the course of the coming months,” McKechnie adds. “While a number of Samsung products qualify as entry to the competition, the start of the summer season is an ideal time to consider buying an air-conditioner. What better way to kick start your summer than by purchasing a product that could set you up with a dream ticket to the Indian Ocean paradise of the Maldives? So, if you are in the market for an air-conditioner this summer, then look no further than Samsung’s beautifully . . .
Samsung Electronics South Africa announced the launch of the Digital Variable Multi (DVM S) Eco 14 HP, a new side discharge variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air conditioner that is engineered to deliver a single outdoor unit solution for apartments and office buildings.

ANY AMOUNT OF BOOKS FEELS LIKE WONDERLAND
Any Amount Of Books is a second-hand bookshop on Charing Cross Road. They sell rare books, first editions, and leather-bound sets across genres and have a collection of over 55,000 books.
Any Amount Of Books, 56 Charing Cross Road, London WC2H 0QA. Phone: 020 7836 3697
READ AVANI UDGAONKAR'S STORY
Every broken spine and well-worn edge of a used book tells its own tale. There is history in these books; their words are not the only story they tell. Holding a second-hand book feels gentle and comforting, akin to finding a trail in the woods and knowing you are not alone. Someone has walked this path before you.
What first attracted me to Any Amount Of Books were the bins filled with books on sale outside the store. Before I knew it, I had abandoned my friend and was trailing my fingers along the spines of the neatly ordered stacks. When I did finally look up, into the wide, windowed front filled with books, I knew this was someplace special.
Stepping into the store for the first time felt oddly like coming home. It’s the kind of place you walk into, get hit with the beloved scent of old books, and cannot help but smile. It has floor-to-ceiling bookshelves overflowing with beautifully kept tomes and cheerful, knowledgeable staff. There are a few people wandering up and down the store, and the division between the new and the regulars is apparent. The new talk in murmurs, as if afraid to break the intimate silence of the books around them. The regulars laugh together, occasionally calling out jokes to the owner who sits behind the desk.
There is history in these books; their words are not the only story they tell.
I immediately make my way over to their poetry section – as I always do in bookstores – which surprises me. Every bookstore has the standard collection of poetry: Yeats and Wordsworth and other canonical writers, all the same editions by the same publishers. But here, between these standard tomes, I find some of the most beautiful editions: a sturdy hardback by Sir John Suckling, a copy of Edna St. Vincent Millay, thin pamphlets and slim editions of poets I have never heard of. I’ve been collecting and reading poetry books for years and always look for volumes that are unusual or rare in some way, a task I have often found difficult. Here, it is as easy as breathing.
But I know I have found something truly special when, near the bottom of the bookshelf, tucked away into a corner, is an absolutely gorgeous little hardback edition of Thomas Hardy’s poetry in blue leather and silver lines. Though Hardy as a poet isn’t awfully rare, I cannot look away from this book. I flip it open and find that not only does it contain some of my favourite poems by him, the print is beautiful, as is the price – £3. I don’t let it go for the rest of the time I’m in the store. After having combed the poetry section, I turn my attention to the rest of the store that weaves through fiction, biographies and cookbooks alike. A locked cupboard near the billing desk contains rare and first editions that my hands itch to possess but cannot afford to. Below that are shelves of critical theory that the literature student in me both desires and dreads instantly. Every way I turn, a book catches my eye, and I’ve soon collected a stack of books I cannot live without. I make my way down to the maze-like basement and, in the low warm light with ceiling-high shelves lining my twisting path, feel like Alice, fallen down a rabbit hole into my own personal Wonderland.
I’m not sure how long I stay down there. For hours, I hunt through piles and shelves, finding myself captivated by different books in a way I haven’t been in a long time. I stay that way until finally, a hungry (and slightly exasperated) friend pulls me out, forces me to make my purchases, and literally drags me away.

- Combating the skills shortage means rebuilding from within- By Megan Motto
We have to stop deluding ourselves. We have to let go of this baseless notion that the current skills shortage is somehow cyclical, and that someday soon we'll wake up to an economy where sourcing skilled staff is again a challenge but not an impossibility.
The problem is now critical. For the third year running a survey of our membership at the Association of Consulting Engineers Australia indicated that up to two thirds of projects are having to be delayed or put off indefinitely due to insufficient personnel to do the job.

One of the interesting things about magico-religious systems is that just about anything can be an “in”. A robust system – and an ancient system that lasted a while is going to be pretty robust – is an interconnected whole, and learning how one aspect of it works will inevitably start flowing into the next bit, and the next bit, and the next bit.
I didn’t start writing The Traveller’s Guide to the Duat because I was interested in ancient Egyptian funerary techniques. Far from it – I find death rituals among the least interesting parts of any magical-religious system, and I never got into Egyptophilia when I was younger because mostly what I ran into was people squeeing about mummies and the shiny, shiny funerary furniture of Tutankamen.
But the Book of Going Forth By Day – popularly known as the Egyptian Book of the Dead – is one of the most well-known bits of Egyptian literature. People have been mining it for esoteric meaning since it was translated, and even before. Talking about Egyptian magic inevitably leads to talking about the stuff we can find in funerary literature, because there’s a lot of stuff preserved in funerary literature.
And it’s amazing what you can find when you dive in deep in a specific subfield. Getting anywhere working in depth with the Book of the Dead means understanding the etheric anatomy of a human (and possibly the esoteric meanings of physical anatomy); it means exploring the use and significance of a variety of symbols, some more obscure than others; it means the use of colour, shape, and materials in the crafting of amulets; it means building a comprehension of the geography and nature of the spirit world; it means an overview of shapeshifting the astral body, including into a godform; it means knowing how to treat with and interact with various Powers; it means an analysis of the metaphysics of initiation. In short, there is something for almost any type of magical or spiritual explorer to be found there.
It doesn’t really matter where one starts in the system, because once the explorer strikes bone, it’s a steady course from there to reveal the whole skeleton; once the explorer strikes blood, it’s an inevitable flow from there to the living heart that makes the system whole.

Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, the Minister of Energy, stated that on Saturday 15th of Muharram 1441H corresponding to 14 September 2019, at 3:31 and 3:42 am, several explosions occurred as a result of terrorist attacks in Saudi Aramco plants in Khurais and Abqaiq. They resulted in fires that were controlled.
He pointed out that this terrorist act resulted in the temporary suspension of production operations at Abqaiq and Khurais plants. According to preliminary estimates, these explosions led to the interruption of a quantity of crude oil supplies estimated at 5.7 million barrels, or about 50% of the company's production. Part of the decrease will be compensated for its customers through stocks.
The Minister explained that these explosions have also led to the cessation of the production of associated gas estimated at (2) billion cubic feet per day, used to produce 700 thousand barrels of natural gas liquids, which will reduce the supply of ethane and natural gas liquids by up to about (50%).
As for the local supplies, he stressed that this attack has not resulted in any impact on the supply of electricity and water from fuel, or on the supply of fuel to the local market, nor resulted in any injuries among workers at these sites so far, and the company is still in the process of assessing the implications of this.
He also explained that the company is currently working to recover the lost quantities, and will provide within the next 48 hours updated information.
The Minister of Energy said that this terrorist attack and sabotage is an extension of the recent attacks that targeted oil and civil facilities, pumping stations and oil tankers in the Arabian Gulf.
The minister stressed that these attacks are not only aimed at the vital installations of the Kingdom, but also on the global oil supply and its security, and thus pose a threat to the global economy. It once again highlights the importance of the international community undertaking its role in maintaining energy supplies against all terrorist actors who carry out, support and finance such cowardly acts of sabotage.

It's got everything you need for making retro 90's style House anthems, (plenty of hands in the air piano loops!) with modern clean and crisp production values.
Musically speaking it's abundant with memorable hooks and motifs which is great for the less musical aspiring producers. I love the new standard in de-constructed kits, with component parts and individual beat elements ready to re-contextualise.
Classic 90s House Vol2 by Loopmasters takes you back to the good old days. Where the dance floors were packed and the house music was groovy. You will find 1.63Gb 44.1KHz of Loops and Sounds including 31 Bass Loops, 30 Full Drum Loops, 22 Clap Loops, 21 Kick Loops, 20 Hat Loops, 39 Snare Loops, 7 Crash Loops, 25 Guitar Loops, 18 Organ Loops, 36 Piano Loops, 25 Rhodes Loops, 11 String Loops, 3 Clav Loops, 5 Pad Loops, 1 Bell Loop, 3 Brass Loops, 1 Perc Loop, 20 Bass Stabs, 52 Drum Hits, 20 Impact Sounds, 20 Sweep Sounds, 6 Multi Sampled Instruments, 119 MIDI Files, 334 Rex2 Files, 33 Soft Sampler Patches for Halion, Exs24, Kontakt, Nnxt and Sfz formats.
This sound pack includes all the sounds you need to make the perfect 90's house track.
It does what it says on the tin! Great vintage sounds to this pack, nice breadth, and great quality. There are a lot of these types of packs around these days, but this one manages to fulfil the brief more than adequately.
Well thought out pack here with all the elements needed to recreate that 90’s vibe. Just add a little inspiration! Could have done with more synth elements but overall a very useful addition to the armoury.


Los Angeles, Jan 2 (IANS) Rapper Kanye West has dissed his former collaborator, footwear brand Nike, and and has also made references to comedian Bill Cosby’s sexual assault allegations and Steve Harvey’s Miss Universe gaffe in his new single “Facts”.

District Court Hears Motion to Dismiss Wind Energy Case
Attorneys for the Palo Alto County Board of Supervisors presented their arguments for a Motion to Dismiss or Alternatively a Motion for More Specific Statement during a telephone hearing in District Court on Friday, Jan. 12 before District Court Judge Don E. Cortney.
The original court document filed Nov. 22, 2017, by the plaintiffs; Bertha Mathis, Stephen Mathis, Tillford Egland, Thomas Stillman, Lois Stillman, Michael Reding and Susanne Reding against the Defendants; the Palo Alto County Board of Supervisors petitions for Court for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief and for a Writ of Certiorari.
Declaratory and Injunctive Relief requests refers to a judgment which determines the rights of parties which requires an individual to do or not to do a specific action and the party making the request is seeking an official declaration of the status of the matter in controversy. In this case the Wind Energy Conversion System Ordinance.
Attorney Haley Van Loon of Brown, Winick, Graves, Gross, Baskerville and Schoenebaum, P.L. C. from Des Moines argued that in the initial filing the Plaintiffs failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. She requested that the case against the Palo Alto County Board of Supervisors be dismissed or that the Plaintiffs be required to provide more specific reasons for their case.
Plaintiff Attorney John M Murray, of Murray and Murray in Storm Lake, argued that more than enough specific statements had been provided for the case to continue.
Judge Cortney told both parties that he would make a decision as soon as possible, which could take anywhere from one to three months.

Twenty Years in a Culture of Fear
It has been 20 years since Barry Glassner first published The Culture of Fear: Why Americans are Afraid of the Wrong Things. I first became aware of Glassner’s work while watching Michael Moore’s powerful documentary, Bowling for Columbine (2002). At that time Glassner was already something of minor celebrity sociologist with a solid presence in print and TV media. He was often featured as the culture expert for stories in USA Todayor on segments on CNNor CBS This Morning. In October 2001, Glassner penned an article in the Chronicle of Higher Educationdiscussing the terrorist attacks on the country the month before. He grimly noted how “the counterfeit horrors” that had “almost completely disappeared from public discourse” following 9/11 were slowly making a comeback. While “Americans have new and real dangers to worry about,” Glassner argued, “only some overblown risks have been deflated.”
Michael Moore clearly appreciated Glassner’s account of the American culture of fear. In the documentary, he cites approvingly of Glassner’s comments about our senseless worries about dangerous Halloween candy (p. 29) and our irrational fear of black men (pp. 109-127). A notable highlight of Bowling for Columbine,emphasizing the disconnection of these fears from reality, is when Glassner and Moore are seen casually strolling through South Central Los Angeles, unbothered by anyone, musing about the misguided paranoia of the American public. The success of Bowling for Columbine – the film grossed $58 million globally and won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Documentary – meant that Barry Glassner became a sociological superstar. The Culture of Fearwas so successful that in 2009 the book underwent a 10thAnniversary edition that was “Updated for Our Post 9/11 World.” More recently, in 2018, Glassner has published a third edition of Culture of Fear “Updated for the Trump Era.”
Glassner is a voracious consumer of the mass media. He knows how the media works to manipulate audience sensibilities. In The Culture of Fear, he interrogates the representations of social and cultural fears in the news and on television. Relying on probabilistic logic, he argues that overall, life for most people is actually much safer and considerably less scary than the media makes it out to be. However, Glassner claims that powerful social actors such as politicians, businesses, and media organizations profit by keeping us afraid.
Glassner argues that we are unreasonably afraid of social phenomena such as road rage, pedophiles, teenagers, mothers, black men, immigrants, drugs, and air travel.
Instead of fretting over such pseudo worries, Glassner would have us focus our attention on more structural concerns such as food insecurity, crumbling infrastructure, and growing inequality.
The first edition of The Culture of Fearin 1998 packed quite a wallop. Glassner researched thousands of news stories and played them off each other. He tested accounts by putting them up against solid social science research. The book was refreshing. It served as a sort of antidote to fear in society. Glassner urged readers to be critical consumers of the news. His underlying thesis – which Glassner articulated most clearly in a 1999 article the following year in Qualitative Sociology– that “unfounded fears that receive star billing in the news media…allow people to ignore, avoid, or pretend away, other fears that are uncomfortably close at hand,” (p. 302) seemed to explain a lot about social life.
However, over time the book has not aged so well. Part of the problem concerns the news stories the book focuses on. Like many books on social problems, content can quickly become outdated. The news stories that Glassner discussed in the original The Culture of Fearwere (obviously) historically contingent productions. These narratives differ from the dominant stories in our culture today, which will also be different from the ones tomorrow. This makes the book disappointing at times, especially as a teaching text, because so many of the examples Glassner uses are now well over twenty years old. Despite claims made to the contrary, the bulk of the material in The Culture of Fearhas never been updated, neither in 2009, nor in 2018. A reader coming across Glassner for the first time today, thinking the book had been genuinely “Updated for the Trump Era,” might be rightly confused.
So why all the references to the 1980s and 1990s? These parts of the book offer a fascinating historical account of fin-de-siècleAmerica, but they suggest a missed opportunity on Glassner’s part to reengage with his text, in which he might have offered a more nuanced understanding of how cultural fears change over time. Retrospectively interrogating his own thesis and the evidence Glassner used to make his claims would have been a valuable exercise for readers. For example, it would have been helpful to see updated statistics on teen suicide, a concern Glassner claims is blown out of proportion to the attention the media gives it (p. 54). Yet, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention notes that teen suicide rates have been increasing since 2010 and now stand at 1.4 per 10,000 people, muchhigher than the 1 per 10,000 rate Glassner reports. Other useful updates would be welcomed for Glassner’s sections on cyber-smut (p. 31), missing children (p. 62), and silicone implants (p. 164). These social problems (pseudo or not) all continue to exist, of course, and Glassner misses an opportunity to provide more information on how they have changed in recent years.
Because the majority of The Culture of Fearrelies on out of date events reported in the media, the important debunking function that it originally provided is largely missing. Instead, the new edition has become hyper-politicized. Gone is so much of the emphasis on how we “fear the wrong things,” though Glassner does take issue with what he calls the “mindless technophobia,” (p. 255) found in “e-fears” (e.g. too much screen time for children). Today, Glassner’s argument is mainly that we should fear one thing: President Donald J. Trump (p. 248).
Glassner catalogs the ways Trump seeded fear and discord across society and fomented hatred against immigrants and LGBT people (p. 259). While most sociologists would likely agree with these sentiments, some might take offense at the anti-Trump turn. Glassner is in a difficult position. It is clear that he holds Trump at least somewhat responsible for many of the fears currently pervading US society, but his own work shows that the culture of fear existed well before Trump. Our current era is a new stage of this culture of fear built on a historical foundation of fearmongering, not a separate and unrelated era altogether. This makes Glassner’s critique of Trump seem shrill at times, and in our increasingly politicized society might be viewed as hysterical by pundits disagreeing with his views. It certainly dilutes the strength of the book’s core argument.
Glassner ends the new edition of The Culture of Fearby anointing Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, Barack and Michelle Obama, and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor Emma Gonzalez as the new sort of “leaders” he thinks are needed in today’s society (pp. 261-262). While concerns about guns appeared in the earlier editions of The Culture of Fear, they were just one problem among many. In the latest edition, gun reform is presented as the most pressing social problem of our time. “IT’S THE GUN’S, STUPID” (p. 260) Glassner reminds readers in the book’s closing pages, before repeating a call to implement a litany of gun reforms which he hopes will lead to fewer gun deaths (p. 261). Glassner ends the book by urging readers to “call BS to enablers of gun violence for decades to come” (p. 262).
An exercise in media criticism more than sociological explanation, The Culture of Fearremains an undertheorized work.
For example, Glassner does not discuss specific mechanisms involved in “personal, political and corporate” fearmongering in any detail. He describes different tricks used by the powerful to induce a culture of fear in a population such as “repetition, misdirection, and treating isolated incidents as trends,” but he does not explain how these techniques work so well. Glassner also does not situate his book in the context of larger arguments about risk, fear, or disaster in society. In my view, the book would have been improved had Glassner addressed arguments such as Kathleen Tierney’s The Social Roots of Risks: Producing Disasters, Promoting Resilience, Lee Clark’s Worst Cases: Terror and Catastrophe in Popular Imagination, and Ulrich Beck’s classic Risk Society: Towards a New Modernity, among other recent works.
Despite these shortcomings, The Culture of Fearremains an important work for sociology today. The book reminds us that part of a sociologist’s job is to be a conscience and witness to society. At times Glassner successfully illustrates Peter Berger’s maxim that things are not always what they seem. For example, his writing on the irrational fear of black males seems quite prescient, in retrospect, given the power of Black Lives Matter. “A black man is about eighteen times more likely to be murdered than is a white woman,” Glassner reports (p. 112). “And for black men between the ages of fifteen and thirty, violence is the single leading cause of death” (p. 112).
Glassner’s description of what he calls “monster moms” also continues to be illustrative of our cultural landscape today. Particularly in tabloids and on rightward slanting news programs, one still finds many “gruesome tales of sadistic moms” (p. 98). Glassner reminds us of the ideological functions served by such reports of bad mothering, which ultimately serve the interests of male power. His argument that we have nothing to fear from single moms and teen mothers provides an interesting foil for researchers in feminist criminology and the sociology of deviance.
Finally, Glassner’s chapter “Smack is Back” (pp. 131-150) in which he tackles the sensationalism and absurdity of the War on Drugs, also seems particularly relevant today. Reading this chapter, one wonders about Glassner’s views of the apparent opioid crisis in society today and whether he thinks this is just another false fear exaggerated by the media. Readers interested in drug reform policies would especially benefit from Glassner’s perspective on these subjects.
Overall, the new edition of The Culture of Fearstill offers valuable insight into the nature of contemporary society. Twenty years on, it remains a useful artifact for social analysis and research. Glassner’s book reminds us that today, Americans still spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about irrational fears. As a society, Glassner says we need to reset our priorities and start addressing the problems that really matter. While the lack of current political will to enact the policy recommendations Glassner suggests may be disheartening, his work nonetheless poses an important challenge to social scientists and activists to keep the ideal of an enlightened, rational, and democratic society alive.

The Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) today commended the Motion Picture Association of America for launching a public education campaign on the consequences and risks of illegally downloading movies from the Internet.
"Piracy, or more properly theft, is the greatest threat to the home video industry," VSDA President Bo Andersen said. "Because illegal movie downloading and illegal DVD copies have the potential to seriously undermine the legitimate home video market, VSDA supports educating consumers about the impact of this theft on the creative community, the entertainment retail industry, the economy, and the public and the risks to those engaged in this theft."
The MPAA today launched a new phase of its ongoing public education campaign to deter illegal movie downloading. The new phase includes newspaper advertisements, direct outreach to parents, students, and community groups, and in-theater messages. Andersen noted that VSDA would offer to MPAA to carry the education campaign to retail outlets.
VSDA has supported the motion picture industry’s legal efforts to shut down Grokster, Morpheus, and similar file-swapping services, create new laws at the state and federal level to make camcording in motion picture theaters a crime, and provide additional law enforcement and prosecutorial resources to combat copyright infringement.
Established in 1981, the Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) is the not-for-profit international trade association for the $22 billion home entertainment industry. VSDA represents more than 1,200 companies throughout the United States, Canada, and a dozen other countries. Its members operate more than 12,500 retail outlets in the U.S. that sell and/or rent DVDs, VHS cassettes, and console video games. Membership comprises the full spectrum of video retailers (from single-store operators to large chains), video distributors, the home video divisions of major and independent motion picture studios, and other related businesses that constitute and support the home video entertainment industry.

Construction of the East Link tunnel in downtown Bellevue began in March 2016 and will connect the East Main light rail station to the Downtown Bellevue light rail station. Construction of the tunnel was bid by Sound Transit as a separate project from the light rail stations being built within the City. As more information about the tunnel project becomes available, this webpage will be updated.
Learn more; stay informed:
Q: Where is the tunnel being built?
A: The tunnel, approximately 0.5 mile-long, will extend from Main Street at 112th Avenue SE (south portal) to NE 6th Street (north portal). The south portal of the tunnel is just north of the East Main station; the north portal is at the future Bellevue Downtown Station. (Bellevue Downtown Station FAQ)
Q: How is the tunnel being built?
A: Tunneling will be performed by Sequential Excavation Method (SEM) which involves digging out small sections of soil using an excavator and cutting equipment. As soon as soil is removed, pressurized concrete is sprayed on the tunnel’s sides, ceiling and floor. This tunneling method does not involve a tunnel boring machine. SEM minimizes impacts to surface streets, traffic and reduces noise and dust.
Q: What is the construction timeline for the tunnel?
A: Construction began in March 2016 and tunnel excavation is anticipated to begin in late fall 2016. Initial construction activities involved the removal of structures and vegetation along Main Street and 112th Avenue SE. Crews also began preparing the soil for tunneling activities at the north portal on 110th Ave NE between NE 4th and NE 6th Streets.
Q: What road impacts are expected during tunnel construction?
A: In mid-June 2016 near the north portal, a portion of 110th Avenue NE between NE 6th Street and the garage access to the City Center Plaza building was fully closed. The full closure will last through late-July 2016 at which point, one southbound lane on 110th Avenue NE will re-open. (Closure Map) The entire roadway is expected to re-open in September 2016. The closure is needed to prepare the soil underneath the roadway for tunneling.
Intermittent lane closures will be necessary along 110th Avenue NE between Main Street and NE 6th Street for installation of instrumentation and dewatering wells. This work began in mid-July and will extend into early 2017.
At the south portal (Main Street/112th Avenue SE), motorists should expect intermittent lane closures as crews perform various utility work and haul dirt and materials from the site.
Subscribe to the City’s Traffic Advisories, to receive weekly updates on current road conditions (i.e. closures) throughout Bellevue.
Q: How can I receive tunnel construction updates?
A: Subscribe to Sound Transit’s Construction Alerts to receive updates on East Link construction or contact the East Link Outreach Team at 206-398-5465 or firstname.lastname@example.org to learn about upcoming events.

The ISEQ joined most world indices in a decline today as investors fretted over lack of progress in resolving Washington's budget standoff.
By 3pm, the index was down 20.67 points to 4,257.68.
U.S. Democrats and Republicans came no closer on Sunday to a budget agreement that would end a government shutdown, let alone reaching a deal on the U.S. borrowing limit by Oct. 17 to avoid what would be an unprecedented default.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner said he would not raise the debt ceiling without a "serious conversation" about what is driving the debt. Democrats said it was irresponsible and reckless to raise the possibility of a default.
On Friday, the IMF released its latest review of Ireland's programme. The IMF indicated that the government should still plan to hit the overall E5.1bn adjustment planned for 2014-2015. However, this suggests that the IMF is now reconciled to the likelihood that the adjustment in Budget 2014 will fall below the E3.1bn originally planned. The IMF has now pared back its forecasts for Irish GDP growth to just 0.6pc in 2013 and 1.8pc in 2014 but still expects the government to meet its 7.5pc of GDP deficit target in 2013, falling to 4.9pc in 2014.

Rich Dad and Poor Dad audiobook tells the story of Robert growing up with two dads-his biological father and the father of his best friend rich dad-and how these two men shaped his views on money and investment. This book breaks the myth that you need to earn a high income to get rich, and explains the difference between working for money and letting money work for you.
Rich Dad Poor Dad audiobook – Try to own things that put money in your pocket
After listening to Rich Dad Poor Dad audiobook you will realise that when you have something, you either put the money in your pocket or pay out of your pocket. Owning a business or earning royalties will generate income. Owning a house and a car will incur costs. And you will be perpetually trapped in the vicious loop of wanting money, earning money, and spending money if you rely on a paycheck or income to put money in your pocket.
Rich Dad Poor Dad audiobook gives you ideas of:
• Busting the idea that you need a big salary to be wealthy
• Disproving the notion that your home is an asset
• Showing parents why they can’t rely on the education system to teach their children about money
• Defining an asset and a liability once and for all
• How to teach your children about money in order for them to be financially successful in the future
Rich Dad Poor Dad audiobook is a wonderful starting point for improving your financial intelligence so that you don’t end up working 4 or more months a year for the IRS, another 4 or more months for the banks that control your mortgage and credit cards, and whatever is left for making your employer wealthy. This is the core message of this book, and it will be delivered slowly and repeatedly in the first three chapters, leaving the rest of the book for the author to drone on and on about how he transformed $60,000 into $80,000 without ever going into detail.
Indeed, Rich Dad Poor Dad audiobook isn’t just a book about money. It’s about how we’re taught to think; how schools, families, and friends have conditioned us to see the wealthy as greedy bloodsuckers and chances as dangers. It’s an attempt to retrain people’s brains to question why they do what they do. Why do we purchase all these shoes, clothing, vehicles, and jewelry? Have we earned it or are we simply trying to maintain a certain image? The most essential lesson about it is that education is the key.. education in our intentions, in money, in the world around us. Lessons may be learnt anywhere and at any time, and being educated does not always imply having a degree.
For those who think in visuals and theories, Rich Dad Poor Dad audiobook is fantastic. It clearly explains his financial ideas and includes graphics to show how money enters and exits our wallets. So try not to miss it out on Free Audiobooks Online for the best experieneces!

What is IBS, And How Does IBS Affect The Quality of Life?
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal (GI) disorder that can cause patients to experience chronic or recurrent abdominal pain. It can either be relieved or aggravated by a bowel movement (defecation). IBS patients are typically classified according to whether they predominantly experience constipation (IBS-C), diarrhea (IBS-D), or both stool patterns.
It is estimated that almost 20% of the global adult population is affected by some form of IBS, thereby making this disorder the most common complaint to gastroenterologists worldwide. Various underlying causes have been associated with IBS, which include:
- Genetic factors
- Disturbances in Intestinal Microbiome
- Activation of the Immune System
- Disordered Bile Salt Metabolism
- Changed Brain Function
- Changes in Serotonin Metabolism
IBS and the Gut Microbiome
In a healthy individual, the intestine will contain a healthy microbiota comprised of more than a thousand microbial species. There is a mutualistic relationship between each person and the microbiome, which means that the microbes in our digestive tract get energy and nutrients from the food we eat. In return, the microbiome protects our bodies from harmful pathogens2. Changes in how these microbial organisms function and their diversity within our intestines have been associated with IBS.
How Are IBS and SIBO Connected?
Because SIBO and IBS are linked, much research has looked into this connection. SIBO is when there are more bacteria in the proximal part of the small intestine. It may or may not be accompanied by a change in the type of bacteria there. When there are 105 or more bacteria colonies in each milliliter of small intestinal fluid, SIBO is found in people with the condition (aspirate). Up to 78% of IBS patients also suffer from SIBO 3; therefore, the connection between these two conditions is highly relevant.
The three leading hypotheses connecting IBS and SIBO include:
- SIBO develops first, which is then followed by the development of IBS.
- IBS develops first and causes various motor and visceral disturbances within the small intestine. This dysfunction promotes the overgrowth of bacteria to follow.
- SIBO and IBS are two entirely different disorders that do not have similar physiological characteristics 3.
|Frequency of SIBO in IBS Patients
|Park et al. (2010)
|Scarpellini et al. (2009)
|Carrara et al. (2008)
|Mann et al. (2009)
|Nucera et al. (2005)
|Pimentel et al. (2000)
|Sachdeva et al. (2011)
|Reddymasu et al. (2010)
|Lombardo et al. (2010)
Table 1: Clinical studies that examine the prevalence of SIBO in IBS patients.
IBS is often a heterogeneous condition in the medical community, which means many factors can contribute to IBS. Some things that can change in the gut microbiome are changes in the intestines’ permeability (how easily nutrients can get in and out), how the immune system works, and how the intestines move.
The fact that IBS can cause people to have one type of stool pattern more often than another can be used to support the connection between IBS and SIBO.For example, SIBO patients will typically exhibit excessive gas present within their GI tract due to the increased presence of gas-producing bacteria. An increased amount of gas often causes patients to experience more frequent bloating, which is usually a complaint of IBS patients.
What It’s Like to Live with IBS
People with IBS have long-term pain and discomfort that make it hard to do everyday things like school or work. In addition to these symptoms, additional digestive complaints associated with IBS may include:
- Alternating bouts of constipation and diarrhea
- Bowel movements are difficult to pass
- May feel incomplete
- Maybe uncontrollably urgent
- Clear or white mucus within the stool5
One of the most troubling aspects of having IBS is being told that your symptoms are “all in your head.” Your friends, family, and even health care providers may not believe that your symptoms are real. It can lead to vague diagnoses that may do more harm than good.
The Brain and IBS
While it is clear that IBS is not just “all in your head,” there has been a lot of research linking this GI disorder to changes in the brain. Recent research has shown that patients with IBS have thinner gray matter in their brain, a part of their brain full of neurons, which are the cells in their brain and spinal cord. Gray matter is an area of the brain full of neurons. People who have IBS may be more sensitive to their bowel movements. They have trouble controlling their emotions when chronic pain and have difficulty controlling their pain. Additional brain-related symptoms associated with IBS include lower back pain, anxiety, depression, and headaches.
Living with IBS goes far beyond just taking your medications. Since there is ultimately no cure for this disorder, patients need to recognize what types of foods or situations may trigger their symptoms to occur. As a result, it is often recommended that IBS patients keep track of their symptoms throughout the day. In a symptoms journal, patients are urged to write down when they experience stomach pain, any discomfort, bloating, diarrhea or constipation, and what they were doing when these symptoms came on.
- What symptoms are you feeling?
- How did that symptom make up feel?
- What did you eat right before you began to feel this way?
- What medication did you take before you started to feel this way?
- Did eating some food make your symptom(s) go away?
- Did taking a certain medication help your symptom(s) improve?
Patients with IBS need to write down their symptoms and any factors that may have played a role in them. They can then use this information to determine what lifestyle factors might worsen their symptoms. By working with their doctors, patients can devise a treatment plan to prevent these problems or symptoms from taking over their lives, such as adjusting their diet or treatment regimen.
The Challenges of Treating SIBO
Since SIBO and IBS patients often experience similar symptoms, it is widespread for SIBO to be misdiagnosed by physicians as IBS. Furthermore, since SIBO patients can experience a wide range of symptoms, this disorder is not uncommon to be undiagnosed. As a result, the symptomatic treatment of patients may provide temporary relief to their symptoms but ultimately does little to address the root of the problem.
Current Treatment Options for IBS
Incorporating various diets has been shown to alleviate IBS-related symptoms and ultimately improve quality of life. Some of the most common diets that IBS patients have used include:
Low FODMAP Diet
FODMAP is an acronym that describes the five different sugars commonly found in foods, including fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. There are a lot of varying FODMAP sugars that can cause bloating, gas, stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea, or constipation. These sugars are linked to poor absorption in the small intestine and the ability to ferment quickly, both of which can cause more GI symptoms. Numerous clinical studies have found evidence supporting the success of a low FODMAP diet for both IBS and SIBO patients.
Increasing your fiber intake will increase the bulk of your stools to push stools through your intestines at a fast rate ultimately. Some people with IBS have found that eating more fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help them get rid of their constipation. High-fiber diets can worsen IBS symptoms if they are being looked at for SIBO. It is essential, even though this may be true for some people with IBS. So, you must talk to your doctor before adding high-fiber foods to your diet.
As previously mentioned, high-fiber foods can worsen IBS symptoms. Suppose you’ve had worsening symptoms after eating high-fiber foods and are thinking about completely cutting fiber out of your diet. In that case, it’s better to focus on consuming food products that have more soluble fiber. Since soluble fiber dissolves better in water, patients can better digest these food products and benefit from the good properties of fiber without experiencing any unwanted symptoms. Some foods that contain soluble fibers include:
It is not uncommon for people who are gluten-intolerant also to experience IBS. In this situation, eliminating grain products such as barley, rye, and wheat from your diet may improve IBS symptoms.
The elimination of certain foods for a given period may help patients figure out if a specific food is causing their symptoms to worsen. Some of the leading food items that patients eliminate first include coffee, chocolate, insoluble fiber, and nuts. During the first 12 weeks, patients should stop eating one food and write down any changes they see in their symptoms journal. Then they can move on to the next food to be removed.
When bacterial overgrowth is expected, it is common for physicians to turn to antibiotic treatment. Antibiotics are often used to specifically target the bacterial strains growing uncontrollably within the small intestine of SIBO patients. Since a healthy amount of bacteria is needed in our bodies, antibiotic treatment for SIBO patients focuses on treating symptoms caused by an increase in the number or diversity of these bacteria.
Unfortunately, it is challenging for physicians to target bacteria precisely for each patient through antibiotic treatment. When treating SIBO, the scientific community doesn’t agree on what type of antibiotics should be used, what dose they should be, or how long they should be used. Physicians will therefore prescribe antibiotics that affect a wide range of bacteria to treat SIBO, which include:
Regardless of which type of antibiotic is used to treat SIBO, it is not uncommon for patients to require multiple courses or even long-term use of antibiotics. Doctors should do breath tests on SIBO patients again with symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, and flatulence to keep antibiotics from becoming less effective.
Probiotics are live bacteria that are the same, or similar to, the bacteria that are naturally found within our digestive tract. Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are two of the most frequent bacterial species present in our bodies and numerous probiotic supplements. By introducing healthy bacteria colonies into our digestive system, probiotics have been shown to ease some IBS symptoms, such as constipation and improved immune system functioning.
For patients who predominantly suffer from constipation, prokinetic agents are common. As implied in its name, “pro,” meaning for, and “kinetics,” meaning movement, are used to promote the movement of stool through the GI tract. Many people in the United States take metoclopramide and erythromycin, two of the most common prokinetic drugs.
Unfortunately, conventional treatment approaches do not always work in helping relieve the often-debilitating symptoms of IBS. As a result, patients often look to herbal medications to improve their symptoms without risking any significant adverse effects. Some of the most common herbal medications used for IBS include:
- Peppermint oil
- Artichoke leaf extract
- Aloe vera
- Blond psyllium (Plantago)
- Turmeric (curcumin)
- Iberoglast ®
- Padma lax ®

Racial data of Milwaukee police stops released
Department continues to collect data despite overturned law
Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn is defending a new report that breaks down traffic stops in the city by race.
He said the numbers are proportionate to the racial make-up of the different districts.
In District 1, which covers Milwaukee's downtown area, whites make up the majority of traffic stops.
In District 2, on the city's south side, traffic stops involve predominately Hispanic drivers, and on the north side, in District 4, officers are most likely to stop black drivers.
Flynn released the police traffic stop race data Thursday for last year collected by his department. It's no longer required by the state, but the police department said it is doing it anyway so nothing is hidden.
David Hemphill is enjoying a sunny day in his Milwaukee back yard. WISN 12 News reporter Terry Sater asked him if he thinks Milwaukee police racially profile which people to pull over for traffic stops.
"In my opinion, yes," Hemphill said.
Hemphill said he understands police have a job to do, but he said he's been stopped for what appears to him to be little of nothing in the name of battling crime.
"I mean, this guy's not really causing any problems. There's not really any reason to stop them," Hemphill said.
Flynn said there is no racial profiling by his department. The vast majority of victims of violent crimes are minorities so when they make traffic stops in those neighborhoods the vast majority of people stopped are minorities.
"People that live in disadvantaged communities plagued by crime expect the cops to do something about it. And what we do is intervene. We stop cars. We stop individuals. We stop suspects and we attempt to lower the amounts of violence," Flynn said.
The chief said the numbers show they're stopping some of the same people over and over again. For example, of 110 prolific traffic offenders, they were responsible for more than 2,700 traffic violations.
The chief told Milwaukee's Public Safety Committee those same people often commit more serious crimes and increased traffic stops have lowered crime.
Alderwoman Milele Coggs said she wants more details from police about the ratio of search and seizures involving blacks versus those of whites.
"I have mixed reviews. I have constituents that love the increased presence, that love the neighborhood task force, that love the attention and the decrease in crime that has happened in their areas," Coggs said.
Coggs said she's also hearing from people about possible civil rights violations, but she's not jumping to any conclusions until she gets more details.
