XConfessions by Erika Lust, La Fantasia di Beba29 August 2020
Director Lidia Ravviso
Performers Magena Yama, Eros Braciola
Beba is not a victim of anything, least of all of her own choices. Beba knows exactly what she’s doing and she is loving it.
“As a filmmaker and cinema geek, I am a huge fan of Italian erotic movies from the 70s and 80s, and I am especially passionate about Tinto Brass’ cinematographic work. I love the voluptuous atmosphere of the stories set in an Italian landscape that is extremely difficult to find nowadays.
Even though his work is controversial from a feminist perspective, I have always been fascinated by Brass’ female characters, such as the protagonist of ‘Paprika’ which is the story of a sex worker in postbellum Italy. But there is something about movies like this that disturbs me. I don’t like the way they portray sex work. In ‘Paprika’, the protagonist chooses to become a sex worker to help her fiancé with his business, even though she eventually finds ‘redemption’ in true love. I find that empowering aspect of sex work very erotic, and I think many other people do, too,
But I think it is problematic that these directors depicted sex workers as damaged goods, or bored rich girls who enter this work out of boredom, trying to escape their life or because of some untreated childhood trauma. The women I see behind all the stereotypes and stigmas in movies like this are not bored. Their life is not trivial, and their desire to transgress has the taste of cool ice cream on a summers day.
This is why when I read ‘La fantasia di Beba’ written by Agnese Trocchi, I found the perfect story and character to challenge the way these old, white, male directors of the 70s and 80s portrayed sex workers. Beba is not a broken little thing just waiting to be saved. She consciously taps into all of their stupid stereotypes. She wears the red shoes, the short skirt and the lipstick but she swaps the roles and subverts the expected narrative of a sex worker who is always either stigmatised or victimised for her choices. She is aware of dealing with a potentially dangerous experience, but she turns it around in her favour. ”
— By Lidia Ravviso
Erika’s comment: “La Fantasia di Beba is both an ode and a satire to Italian erotic movies from the 70s and 80s. Director Lidia Ravviso captured the atmosphere and Italian charm of stories like ‘Paprika’ by Tinto Brass while challenging the narrative directors like Brass and Co. selected for sex workers during that era. La Fantasia di Beba is not only incredibly smart, it is also beautifully shot. Watching it made me feel the sun on my skin, the ocean breeze of the mediterranean sea on my face and the Italian ice cream on my tongue.”

I received this skein of Aslan Rends Royal Alpaca yarn through a Ravelry swap I participated in. I have been holding on to it for a quite a while, as it is one of the few luxury yarns I have right now.
I guess you could say I was saving it for a rainy day. Well, I started using it yesterday, but it’s raining today. Close enough.
This is gorgeous yarn! Alpaca is by far my favorite fiber to work with. And this blue is just yummy, and is one of my favorite colors. Whoever was my swap partner at the time sure got my preferences right.
I started a lacy scarf with it. I have quite a bit done of it, and there’s a lot of yarn left. I guess I’m about half done. I’ll show photos of the scarf once it’s done and blocked. Oh, and as for the recipient of the scarf….it’s me. My favorite fiber and one of my favorite colors? Of course, I’m keeping it!
See the photos below for dye lot and other info about the yarn. I also have a stash page on Ravelry about this particular skein.
Yup, my second raglan sweater from here is complete! I finished it last night and am wearing it today.
Again, it’s based on the raglan sweater pattern found in Knitting for Dummies. I modified the particular sweater so the length is shorter, and and it’s short-sleeved, as well.
I worked on this sweater while at work, while at having good conversation at my in-laws’ house, and while watching TV at home. I finished it at home because you have to keep track of sleeve row and decreases, so I need a place where I could keep better notes.
The yarn is interesting, in that I have no idea what it is. I think its heavy worsted/aran weight. I got it from the yarn mill ends bin at AC Moore. No matter what it is, I really like the color and the texture.
So, that’s my second raglan. Yay! If you want to see the details on Ravelry, head on over to the project page.
Wo hoo! I finally finished to Top Down Raglan Sweater pattern from Knitting for Dummies. I’m actually surprised as to how good it came out, considering you need to knit a swatch for it. (Yeah, really!)
I’m really proud of it. My husband said it’s the most professional looking garment I’ve knit to date. That’s means a lot to hear that! Thanks, honey! I’m wearing it at work today, and have gotten a few compliments on it.
This took longer than expected to knit because I had stitches in my right arm, and as the sweater would twist up from knitting the sleeves, I had to keep lifting and unwinding the sweater. This was putting pressure on my arm and pulled at my stitches, so I had to stop.
Well, last Tuesday, the stitches came out, and started finishing the sweater on Friday. I was done with what was left of the first sleeve, completed the second sleeve (which went much faster than the first), and weaved in all my ends by Sunday afternoon. Boom!
If you want to see the details about the sweater, I recommend popping over to its project page on Ravelry.
Otherwise, if you want to catch up on the saga of this sweater, read the post about it here.
Yes! I’m done! What have you finished lately in your crafty endeavors that you are proud of?
Saint Patrick’s Day is tomorrow. Having red hair and loving the color green, it’s a color scheme that fits me. I LOVE GREEN.
I want to share three projects from the past, not including the cable practice swatch above, that feature the color green. Erin Go Bragh!
Emerald Isle Headband
Kollobora used to do these themed Friday project ideas, and one of them had to do with green, so I whipped up this headband. I still have it. I may wear it tomorrow. In fact, I think I shall!
Kollabora is neat website for high-end crafting. I recommend popping over there and taking a gander.
My Container Garden From Last Year
This was last year’s container garden at its peak, with all of its leafy herby and veggie goodness. I actually kept up with it pretty well! Since the original posts about this venture were written during The Two-is Year Gap, I don’t have them to link. Drat. At least you can see what I produced from last year’s crop!
Wire-knit Beaded Bracelet
Every now and then I dabble in beading, usually knitting or crocheting the wire. I used to bead A LOT before I started knitting, so I had a lot of the supplies around ready to go when I started experimenting with wire knitting or crochet. Jump in the wayback machine and read about this project, it’s one of the first things I wrote about when I started craft blogging.
Non-Green Bonus Saint Patrick’s Day Thing: Patrick!
Patrick was my dog, and his birthday was on Saint Patrick’s Day. Well, you can figure out how we named him. Here is Patrick on his tenth birthday, on a walk with a toy in his mouth when he as just about a his happiest. He was a great dog and I and my family miss him very much.
Now, go get your green on, or I’ll pinch ya!
So, I was walking back into my building after my afternoon break, and the above note cards and a, well, note, was attached to them proclaiming that these lovely pen and ink note cards are mine to keep! How cool is that?!
There were two e-mail addresses on the note, too: one for the project and one for the artist. I e-mailed both and let them know that their art is in good hands.
Oh! Links! Here’s their Facebook page: Art Abandonment
There’s a website, too.
Included in my e-mail, I spoke how I participate in a similar endeavor with The Wrap Up, Lancaster Project. It’s sort of the same thing! We’re both giving out something that we made for people to enjoy.
I joined the Facebook group. I may actually participate in some of their art abandonment challenges.
Maybe it’s the No BS mood I’ve been in lately, but I am completely and totally fed up with online selling.
I’ve tried Etsy. I’ve tried a local website called ShopLancaster. I have taken photos, ran coupons, and had sales. No luck. And that’s just for handmade stuff. I’m not even going to go into the misery I’ve ran into with photography.
That’s it. I’m out. At least for now.
I’ve done better with word of mouth and inviting people over to my home for handmade shopping.
I quit the craft show thing a while ago. It’s just not worth the time or effort for me. No one wants to pay for the quality and time of a hand knit item, at least in my area, they don’t seem to.
I know, sound whiny, but I need to rant. Maybe I can save some other crafter out there some agony by helping them make the decision NOT TO SELL ONLINE. The return of investment, at least for me, just isn’t worth it.
I recently saw on Facebook a brilliant Google Form that helps you calculate the cost and time of what a knitter would have to do if you wanted him/her to make you something. Knitters, and crocheters, for that matter, it’s definitely worth looking into. Those who are curious about what goes into a handmade item, take a look, too. It will tell you a little bit about what goes into the creation of a knit item.
KNITTING TIME CALCULATOR
I did not create this calculator, but rather Gladys over at Yarn Floozies came up with it. This particular blog doesn’t look like it’s been updated in a while, but there’s some good information over there, anyway.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on a calculator like this, knitter/crocheter or not.

(CNSNews.com) - Combat-related U.S. casualties in Iraq were 82.9 percent less in December 2007 than they were in December 2006, according to an exclusive Cybercast News Service analysis of Defense Department data.
In December 2006, according to an analysis based on casualty reports released by the Defense Department, 82 U.S. military personnel were killed in Iraq as a result of enemy action. In December 2007, 14 U.S. military personnel were killed in Iraq as a result of enemy action. (Overall in December 2006, 90 U.S. military personnel were killed in Iraq, including not only those killed by enemy action but also those who died in non-combat-related accidents and for other reasons. In December 2007, 19 U.S. military personnel were killed in Iraq overall, including those who died for non-combat-related reasons.)
U.S. combat-related casualties in Iraq in December were the fewest of any month since March 2006.
At a Heritage Foundation forum last week, U.S. officials and national security experts credited the improving situation in Iraq to General David Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Iraq, for conceiving and implementing an effective counter-insurgency strategy, and to President Bush for following through with it.
Not everyone in the White House was keen on the troop surge, Mark Kimmitt, deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Middle East Affairs, said during his presentation. He said some argued against a heightened U.S. military presence because they believed the troops would be exposed to escalating violence.
"No one last December  had any idea we would see a Sunni awakening movement of such great scope and with such great effectiveness," he said. "No one expected the brilliant successes of our special forces against Al Qaeda in general. We have done better at the local level than we expected. But worse at the national level...The challenge for 2008 will be to link up these local efforts to the central government in a way that strengthens the latter while preserving the maximum space for local initiative."

The Schoolyard Bully
Barack Obama is not acting like the president of the United States, he is acting like a schoolyard bully. He called John Boehner to basically tell him that he doesn't want to talk. Then he held a press conference yesterday where he essentially said the same thing, while throwing around loose barbs about the GOP. As insulting as this is to Republicans in Washington, Obama's insistence on maximizing the pain has now impacted our soldiers in an inexcusable way...more
Taking America's Temperature
According to a new Associated Press-GfK survey out today, Barack Obama's approval rating has plummeted to just 37%. Now if you just read the headlines or even the beginning of most news stories citing this poll, they would focus on the GOP being blamed for the shutdown. But the fact remains that Democrats are not far behind when it comes to the blame game, and Americans are clearly not all that impressed with Obama. This is not working out as the Democrats planned...more
Senator Tim Scott
US Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) joined Sean on today's show and discussed the dysfunction in Washington. "This is the unfortunate consequence of attempting to govern from crisis to crisis. Washington has failed in one of its most basic jobs - providing a budget that responsibly manages taxpayer dollars. In this case, Washington has failed to provide any budget at all," Scott explained. "Shutdowns don't happen when Congress does its job. Our country deserves better than short-term, Band Aid spending bills that only work well enough to get us to the next crisis. We need a real, responsible budget that solves our country's spending addiction and puts us back on the path to fiscal solvency." Because of this dysfunction in Washington, Scott told Sean that he will be donating his shutdown salary to charity. "Members of Congress should not be given preferential treatment, period," said Scott.

Natural disasters, including earthquakes, can have a great impact on children’s psychological well-being and development (Furr et al., 2010; Lai et al., 2014). The literature has documented the efficacy of interventions aimed at enhancing children’s socio-emotional learning (Durlak et al., 2011). At the same time, it is key to train adequately children for possible future disasters (Masten, 2021), enhancing their knowledge on both behavioural preparedness and emotional competence. However, research on evidence-based training on earthquakes combining digital and traditional activities is scarce. We tested the efficacy of a 10-unit training for primary school children, developed within the Emotional Prevention and Earthquake in Primary School (PrEmT) project. It aimed at increasing knowledge on earthquakes, safety behaviours, emotions and coping strategies, through digital (using the web-application HEMOT® developed ad-hoc) and traditional activities (completing paper-and-pencil tasks). The participants were 557 second (M = 7;5, 43% F) and fourth-graders (M = 9;4, 53% F) from Italian schools. They were divided into an experimental (participating to the training) and a control group. Both groups participated to pre-tests and post-tests to evaluate their knowledge on training-related contents (Raccanello et al., 2021). For ethical reasons, we also measured children’s well-being adapting the Italian version of the School-Related Well-Being scale (Loderer et al., 2016). Generalized linear mixed models indicated the improvement of experimental group’s knowledge after the training, compared to the control group (group X pre-post phase: nature of earthquakes, χ2(1) = 7.18; safety behaviours, χ2(1) = 146.70; emotion recognition: χ2(1) = 85.70; emotional lexicon, χ2(1) = 31.91; coping strategies, χ2(1) = 233.10; all p < .001). Well-being increased for both groups, χ2(1) = 19.05, p < .001. The results documented the efficacy of the evidence-based training developed within the PrEmT project. It represents a preventive method to enhance earthquake-related resilience, to be generalized also to other disasters.

Several critical vulnerabilities have been discovered in voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and videoconferencing products based on the H.323 protocol that’s used in IP telephony applications to exchange audio and video communications.
VoIP products from several vendors, including Microsoft Corp., Cisco Systems Inc. and Nortel Networks Ltd., are affected by the flaws, with risks including denial-of-service attacks and remote system compromise, according to an advisory from Atlanta-based Internet Security Systems Inc. (ISS).
The flaws were discovered by the U.K.’s National Infrastructure Security Coordination Centre using a test suite designed by the Finland-based Oulu University Secure Programming Group (OUSPG). The OUSPG test suite was designed to identity flaws in the H.323 protocol.
A similar test suite developed by the OUSPG led to the discovery in 2002 of several implementation specific flaws in the Simple Network Management Protocol. According to Neel Mehta, a security researcher at ISS’s X-Force group, the vulnerabilities are the result of coding errors in the H.323 implementations from each of the vendors.
The vulnerabilities in Cisco’s Internetworking Operating System (IOS) software caused the biggest concern because of the widespread use of the operating system on Internet routers, Mehta said.
According to a Cisco advisory, all of its products running IOS and supporting H.323 packet processing are affected. “This may include the Network Address Translation (NAT) components of Cisco devices, and security features in Cisco devices such as Content-Based Access Control,” according to an ISS advisory.
Several other Cisco products that don’t run IOS are also affected, including Cisco CallManager Versions 3.0 through 3.3, Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch and the Cisco 7905 IP Phone H.323 Software Version 1.00, according to a statement from the company.
“The vulnerabilities discovered in the affected products can be easily and repeatedly demonstrated with the use of the (test suite),” the Cisco advisory said. It goes on to add that exploitation of the flaws could result in denial-of-service attacks, system crashes and performance degradation. Cisco in its statement announced several fixes and work-around for the vulnerabilities.
In a similar advisory, Microsoft warned users of a critical vulnerability in the H.323 filter for its Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000. Successful exploitation of the flaw could allow attackers to take complete control of a compromised system, said the Microsoft advisory.
In advising users to patch affected software immediately, Microsoft also announced work-arounds that can block attacks. One of them is to disable H.323 filters, thereby blocking H.323 traffic.
An advisory posted by the CERT Coordination Center at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh listed more than 60 vendors whose products could be affected by H.323 flaws.


Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation (UK) News
Posted on 19 December 2013
In addition to the 2-day workshop at Dame Kiri’s home the Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation (UK) have been involved in a number of interesting projects. A special joint fundraising concert at Winchester Cathedral was staged earlier this month which featured Dame Kiri and raised funds for the Lord Lieutenants Carol Concert Appeal and the Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation. A ‘sold-out’ concert staged at Cadagan Hall was also organised recently where Dame Kiri was joined by Louise Alder, Phillip Rhodes and Andri Robertsson (all recipients of Foundation scholarships). This proved to be an excellent opportunity to showcase the Foundation and the young singers we are supporting. Next May Dame Kiri will return to the stage of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (where her career was launched) to celebrate her 70th birthday in the role of the Duchess of Krakenthorpe in Donizetti’s ‘Daughter of the Regiment’ (‘La Fille du Regiment’ ). On March
6, the Royal Opera House will mark this special occasion with a special presentation on stage.

ESRL Global Systems Division
CWB Areas of Cooperation
The following areas are identified as mutual interest areas for future cooperation between NOAA/ESRL/GSD and CWB:
- Develop and improve satellite products for tropical storm monitoring and prediction
- Realtime analysis and forecasting with ARPS system
- Improvement and verification of short range forecasting using STMAS with remote sensing data
- HRQ2 (High-resolution Quantitative Precipitation Estimation and Quantitative Precipitation Forecast)
- Enhancement of nowcasting decision and assistance tools
- Development of high-resolution product generation assistance tools
- GPS Radio Occultation satellite data assimilation using the NCEP/JCSDA Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) analysis system
- Continuing interaction on AWIPS related earlier cooperative projects
NOAA/NESDIS (National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service) will lead this task. NESDIS will provide the access to advanced microwave satellite products, product analysis system and algorithms for SST and SSW products from the Aqua satellite. NESDIS will also provide improved microwave sounding products and the data processing system from AMSU (Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit) and SSMIS (Special Sensor Microwave Imager and Sounder).
In order to demonstrate the forecast improvement value of using satellite data, NESDIS will improve the quality control software for microwave sounding products, develop tangent linear and adjoints of clouds and moisture physics, and demonstrate the use of microwave sounding products over land in the NWP system.
CAPS (Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms) at the University of Oklahoma will set up an ARPS (Advanced Regional Prediction System) domain within the CWB’s Nonhydrostatic Forecast System (NFS) model, assimilating radar data for CWB’s initial ARPS Forecast System. CAPS will perform case studies for heavy precipitation cases, that include the evaluation of domain size, computational requirements and configurations for HPC platforms, as well as forecast performance evaluation.
STMAS (Space and Time Multi-scale Analysis System) is a new and advanced data assimilation technique with a superior analysis advantage. STMAS combines the advantages of objective analysis and modern variational analysis into a unified data assimilation system and removes the limitations of these data assimilation schemes.
Two STMAS tasks will be performed by GSD; one is STMAS surface analysis, and the other is STMAS 3D system implementation. The surface analysis is mainly used for CWB weather reanalysis to provide the ground-truth for establishing climatology statistics. The STMAS 3D system can further improve CWB weather reanalysis using upper air datasets to overcome the complex terrain effect.
HRQ2 (High-resolution Quantitative Precipitation Estimation and Quantitative Precipitation Forecast)
NOAA NSSL (National Severe Storms Laboratory) will continue research towards refinement, development, and maintenance of HRQ2 applications required for CWB, Water Resources Agency (WRA), and the Soil and Water Conservation Bureau (SWCB) operations. The NSSL research is directed towards the integration of the dual-pol (dual-polarization) radar applications in the HRQ2 system. This task will include the integration of the dual-pol radar reflectivity and the radar QPE in the real-time HRQ2 system to support CWB operations. This task will perform an initial evaluation of the real-time reflectivity mosaic and QPE with dual-pol radar.
NOAA MDL (Meteorological Development Laboratory) will provide technical support to CWB to enhance CWB’s current forecast workstation, called the Weather Integration and Nowcasting System (WINS), in the area of nowcasting decision assistance tools. One of the MDL missions is to develop a comprehensive suite of decision assistance tools, called SCAN (System for Convection Analysis and Nowcasting), implemented in AWIPS to cover the full scope of hydro-meteorological phenomena and forecaster responsibilities. The current MDL activity is to migrate SCAN from AWIPS-1 to AWIPS-2. MDL will also provide experience to CWB forecasters for training and evaluation of using other decisions assistance tools such as FFMPA (Flash Flood Monitoring and Prediction Advanced), and the preliminary Auto-NowCaster/AWIPS developed by NWS.
ESRL/GSD will continue providing technical support on GFE, and Text Formatter (TF) and GHG (Graphical Hazards Generator) to support CWB’s development of formatter infrastructure of FIES (Forecast Information Editing System). CWB plans to implement its own rule-based Chinese text formatter to provide a heavy rainfall report. GSD will also provide necessary training to CWB visitor(s) to implement such a Chinese text formatter system as part of CWB’s FIES. GSD will continue to coordinate necessary forecaster training of using BOIVerify (GFE/verification system) software training during hazardous weather situations.
GPS Radio Occultation satellite data assimilation using the NCEP/JCSDA Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) analysis system
As part of the COSMIC (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate) mission, CWB will support the inclusion of GPS Radio Occultation (RO) observations from the COSMIC mission into the NCEP’s regional system to implement the Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) data assimilation of GPS radio occultation data under the joint collaboration project between NOAA/NASA/DoD, JCSDA and CWB. NCEP is the National Centers for Environmental Prediction under NOAA’s NWS. JCSDA (Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation) is a multi-agency research center tasked with improving the use of satellite data for analyzing and predicting weather, the ocean, climate and the environment. JCSDA partner agencies are NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), NOAA and DoD (Department of Defense).
GSD will provide the latest AWIPS-1 releases and necessary test datasets to CWB. GSD will continue to make available any latest AWIPS-build software, and technical support of AWIPS applications such as warning tools (WarnGen, GHG). Under a NOAA/NWS contract to the Raytheon Technical Services Company (since 2005), a next generation of AWIPS (called AWIPS-2) is being developed. GSD is tasked with performing an Independent Validation and Verification (IV &V) for each task order released by Raytheon. GSD plans to share some of its experience with AWIPS-2 in the area of AWIPS-2 development environment.
Visiting Scients Program
Several areas of cooperation require CWB staff in residence at GSD. The primary effort of CWB staff at GSD during this period will be directed toward developing data assimilation techniques, the forecast workstation, and forecast preparation systems.
CWB visiting scientists program receives enormous support from GSD's different branches: Forecasting Application Branch, Information Systems Branch, Technology Outreach Branch and Information and Technology Service (ITS). GSD also sent staff to CWB to provide training, technical support and scientific exchange. Two project review meetings are scheduled for each year, one in Boulder during the early summer and one in Taiwan during the fall.
The primary objectives of the NOAA (ESRL, NESDIS, NSSL)/OU - CWB cooperation are to:
- Development and improve satellite products for tropical monitoring and prediction (NESDIS)
- Real time analysis and forecasting with ARPS system (OU/CAPS)
- Improvement and verification of short range forecasting using STMAS (ESRL/GSD)
- High Resolution Quantitative Precipitation Estimation and Quantitative Precipitation Forecast improvement (NSSL)
- Enhancement of nowcasting decision assistance tools (MDL)
- Development of high resolution forecast product generation assistance tools (ESRL/GSD)
- GPS radio occultation satellite data assimilation using the NCEP/JCSDA Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) analysis system
- Continue interaction on AWIPS project


The use of automobile metaphors in descriptions of nuclear weapon technology is somewhere between comedy and cliche.
Here’s my latest entry (sub/ad req):
You could think of the B61 as the Volkswagen bug of the U.S. nuclear arsenal — reliable, adaptable and very, very old.
I also said some other, more substantive things:
The risk, according to the report from the Senate Appropriations Energy and Water Subcommittee, is that the labs and NNSA are going too far in their effort to bring the aging B61s into the 21st century. In an effort to improve the bombs’ safety and security, the weaponeers may actually be jeopardizing its long-term reliability, the Senate report suggests.
“NNSA plans to incorporate untried technologies and design features to improve the safety and security of the nuclear stockpile,” the report says. “The committee supports enhanced surety of weapon systems to avoid accidents and unauthorized use, but it should not come at the expense of long-term weapon reliability. New safety and security features should be incorporated in weapon systems when feasible, but the primary goal … should be to increase confidence in warhead performance without underground nuclear testing.”

Chancellor announces review of low pay in statement clouded by Brexit uncertainty.
Chancellor Phillip Hammond announced a review of low pay in a Spring Statement overhung by a “cloud of Brexit uncertainty”.
The Chancellor said the review of the minimum wage will be led by Professor Arindrajit Dube from the University of Massachusetts and will have a particular focus on “innovative and ambitious minimum wage models”. However, he added that it will not attempt to consider the causes of low wage employment. a widening in the earnings distribution.
A report this week from the Office for Budget Responsibility highlights a growing divide in wage rises. It suggests pay of the top 0.1% has been rising considerably faster than the average over the last year or more.
Hammond also said the £700m previously suggested to help small firms take on more apprentices will become available from as early as April 2019. And he announced changes to the UK’s visa scheme meaning foreign nationals applying for PhD level roles will become exempt from the UK’s visa cap from this Autumn to address the UK’s ongoing talent shortage.
Other announcements in the Spring Statement were contingent on a Brexit deal being reached. For instance, the Chancellor said a £37bn National Productivity Investment fund could be set up to help businesses address the UK’s lagging productivity rate and he suggested austerity could end if a Brexit deal was agreed. For now, however, the benefits freeze continues. The Institute for Fiscal Studies said there was “no reprieve” in the Spring Statement for the millions of working age families dependent on benefits. It said after four years of the benefits freeze, 10 million families will have lost an average of £420 a year. It called for an urgent review of long-term spending challenges, particularly the impact of the ageing population on public spending.
Childcare providers criticised the lack of any new funding for childcare, comparing this with announcements of cash for other areas, such as housebuilding, knife crime and new technologies. The heads of maintained nurseries marched on Downing Street earlier this week calling for more funding. There was also no new money announced for schools. School heads wrote to parents at the end of last week about cuts in their funding which means some are having to close early or cut back teaching assistants and the subjects they offer.
Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Early Years Alliance, said: “Many providers will be incredibly disappointed that the Chancellor has yet again missed an opportunity to tackle the early years funding crisis, especially those wondering how they will survive past April’s minimum wage and pension increases.
“While ministers continue to claim that all is fine in the sector, the simple fact is that even the government’s own research – which doesn’t take into account these upcoming cost increases – shows that a large proportion of parents are paying increasing fees as a result of underfunding, while many local authorities have warned that current funding levels are unsustainable.
“It beggars belief that the government is walking a sector as vital as the early years to this cliff edge – but that’s what is happening with their refusal to budge on frozen funding levels even as outgoings soar. With report after report of quality providers being forced to close their doors for good, it’s vital that the government takes urgent action on this issue – the sector cannot afford any further delay.”
The EYA says that, without extra funding, nurseries may have to raise childcare fees or close.

Researchers have demonstrated how embryonic stem cells are converted into tissue-specific cells.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have successfully revealed this process graphically and provided the answer to the long-standing question as to whether the stem cells achieve their development through selective activation or selective repression of genes.
The team of researchers including Dr. Eran Meshorer of the Department of Genetics at the Silberman Institute of Life Sciences at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has revealed that the embryonic stem (ES) cells express a major part of their genome "promiscuously."
This liberal expression includes lineage-specific and tissue-specific genes, non-coding regions of the genome that are normally "silent," and repetitive sequences in the genome, comprising the majority of the mammalian genome but are also normally not expressed.
At the time of differentiation into specific cell tissue-types, ES cells undergo global genetic silencing. But till this time, the ES cells maintain an open and active genome. This may hold the key to their success, as this flexibility allows them to maintain their capacity to become any cell type. However, this ability is lost once silencing, or genetic repression occurs.
This implies that the ES cells stand at the ready until the "last minute," prepared to engage in selective activation into specific cells, holding "in abeyance" their ability to become any kind of cells at the point and time required.
In order to reveal this process, the researchers created the first full-mouse genomic platform of DNA microarrays. Microarrays are glass-based chips that allow simultaneous detection of thousands of genes. The microarrays used in the study were not confined to specific genes only but spanned the entire genome.
The researchers required hundreds of such microarrays for this study to cover the entire genome in different time points during stem cell differentiation. And by observing these sequences they could ascertain exactly how and at what point the stem cells developed into specific tissue cells and when the silencing occurs.

BEECHWORTH’S Bushranger seniors were looking to make it three in a row on Saturday following back-to-back wins in the Tallangatta and District Football League.
And the team did it, running up 22.18 (150) over Dederang Mount Beauty 11.3 (69).
Dayne Carey started the goal feast and ended up with four goals, John Forbes and Brayden Carey were racking up the possessions in the midfield.
Warwick Williams was all class in the last quarter with four last quarter goals (five in total), and even Kayde Surrey snuck forward to end up with two goals.
This week The Bushrangers take on Thurgoona as favourite son Brayden Carey plays his 150th senior game.
The reserves headed up to Dederang and defeated the home team 14.9 (93) to 8.6 (54).
It was a good win, with a good team effort. That’s two in a row now and the boys are looking forward to next week’s game against Thurgoona.
The U17s sought to continue the seniors’ form but were defeated by Dederang Mount Beauty 24.14 (158) to Beechworth 1.3 (9).
It was a tough day for all involved but well done to all players, volunteers and supporters for showing great support for the team.
The U14s scored 9.10 (64), defeating Dederang Mount Beauty 2.3 (15).

Encapsulate the book in one sentence? The queer life and times of the disparate people of a London street.
Intriguing, tell me more. On the day Concord Webster turns eighteen, the man a few doors down known as the Devil dies, and Concord is surprised to discover that his mother owns a key to his house. Curious, he goes to the local witch/midwife Mama Zepp who tells him the stories of the many people who've lived on the street, their loves, betrayals, and queer secrets.
Why this, why now? I've been eyeing In The Eyes of Mr Fury for some time - since it was first announced as one of Valancourt's re-releases - as so much about it seems calculated to appeal to my particular sensibilities. In the meantime, I devoured all of Philip Ridley's movies (discovering to my surprise that he is the man behind Heartless, a particular favourite of mind that I hadn't connected the dots to) and read Crocodilia, a vivid, wildly charged little book that I adored. And so it seemed I couldn't put off Mr Fury for any longer.
What genre would you say it is? In this iteration (this version is an extended 'author's preferred' version to the original publication) it is an intimate queer magic realist epic, an interconnected tapestry of stories invested with a rich sense of myth and tragedy. At times grounded in the drudgery of day-to-day life and at times leaping in flights of evocative fancy, it tells the hidden stories of a set of characters from diverse parts of the queer spectrum over several decades and generations.
Did you finish it? Did it work for you? I devoured it, and yes: it did work for me. It worked for me in a way few books have in years, and leapfrogged straight into my favourites list. Put simply: this book is stunning. The characters are richly detailed, living breathing people lovingly rendered through the slow unfolding of the many secret lives of the Street. If the occasional sense that there really are an absurd amount of homosexuals in this Street arises, it can be forgiven by the self-conscious sense of narrative, and by it's underlying themes of queer chosen family (whether implicit or explicit) flocking together and what Mr Fury magnificently succeeds at is evoking that sense so particular to the queer experience of weaving legend of out of one's own stories. The magic realist elements (which I gather from the back matter are predominantly the elements added to the narrative) feed this sense of tragedy and joy, of stories being written from the texture of lives, with perfect precision.
What surprises did it hold – if any? From what I'd already encountered of Philip Ridley's work I'd expected a work evocative of the power of desire, with all the traps and frustrations and exhilarations incumbent with that. Mr Fury delivers on this, but I'd also expected a dose of cynicism alongside; Crocodilia, for example, is ultimately about stripping away the illusions and delusions of desire. But while Mr Fury never shies away from the pathos of desires kept long-secret, it is also pointedly a celebration of queer lives, and it ends on an unashamedly triumphant and decidedly romantic note.
What scene will stay with you? What character will stay with you? There are so many beautiful moments within this, but the particular moment that stood out to me is the arrival of the grandfather in the balloon. A seemingly throwaway anecdote from earlier in the book about an ancestor who sailed away on a hot air balloon never to be seen again returns near the close on a moonlit night just in time to present a utopian vision of the world as it should be to our erstwhile Concord; it's a genius moment, both illusory and defiant, and I shall present some of it below:
Give me a good quote: 'That's it?! That's all that bothers her?! Jumping jellybeans, what's wrong with people on this tiny and far too watery planet?! I don't understand them... I just don't understand...' He took a deep breath. 'So far - in my lifetime alone - this overmoist blue globe has experienced Jack the Ripper, the San Francisco earthquake, the sinking of the Titanic, the Battle of the Somme, mustard gas, the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918, concentration camps, atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the firestorm of Dresden, the Blitz on London, countless terrorist attacks, assassinations, revolutions, massacres, murders, as well as hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, avalanches, floods, droughts, not to mention diphtheria, polio, cancer, Alzheimer's, as well as numerous collisions with meteors, the largest of which - in Tunguska, Russia - destroyed nearly eight hundred square miles of forest - and yet, despite all this constant death, suffering and heartache - when we all know our own life and the lives of those we love and cherish could be taken from us at any moment without rhyme or reason - we are still bothered if two people of the same sex fall in love with each other.'
Is it available today? Valancourt have re-released the book with the updated and expanded text from the author, which you can find here. Bonus: beautiful hardback with signed art card available!

Victoria Monét's first-ever Grammys as a solo artist is a family affair. The singer-songwriter arrived on red carpet at L.A.'s Crypto.com Arena tonight alongside her boyfriend John Gaines and their two-year-old daughter, Hazel. For the occasion, the mother-daughter duo looked gorgeous in coordinating bronze satin dresses, custom made by Versace.
The "On My Mama" singer's gown featured a skintight strapless bodice with satin detailing over sheer panels at the torso, ruched detailing along the waist, and slinky column skirt with a long train. She paired the dress with a diamond wrap-around snake necklace, large diamond stud earrings, and stacked diamond bracelets and rings. Her metallic manicure completed the bronze theme, and her glowy makeup included rosy cheeks and nude glossy lips with brow liner. She also wore her hair in an elegant bun with strands of hair framing her face.
Meanwhile, toddler Hazel wore a sweet sleeveles A-line dress from Versace, made of the same bronze satin fabric, and featuring a bow-tie detail at the back. She added bronze Mary Jane flats, and wore her hair slicked into two high pigtails tied with matching bronze bows.
Model and fitness trainer John Gaines coordinated with his partner and daughter in an earthy green suit, which featured a boxy jacket with off-center buttons and matching trousers. He completed the look with black Versace loafers and a silver pin on his blazer.
The "Coastin'" singer has already picked up two Grammys today, as her album Jaguar II already won Best R&B Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. She received seven total nominations this year—the second most nominations of any artist behind SZA. Among her nods for tonight's ceremony are Best New Artist and Record of the Year for her song “On My Mama," as well as several more in the R&B categories.
Toddler Hazel is also apart of Grammy history tonight. She made history this year as the youngest ever person to be nominated for a Grammy, as the 2½-year-old is nominated alongside her mother for best traditional R&B performance for the track "Hollywood," which also features Earth, Wind & Fire. Though she looked adorable in her ensemble, Hazel appeared to not love the chaos of the red carpet in photos, as she stuck close to her parents as they held her during the photocall.
Ahead of the ceremony, Monét spoke with People about her two-year-old's record-breaking nomination. “She understands she's done something really cool, but I don't think she understands the magnitude,” the singer said of the toddler. “So as she gets older, I'll be excited to explain this to her and show her, hopefully, a Grammy with her name on it.”
She also told the outlet that since welcoming Hazel in February 2021, juggling her career and motherhood has been "the hardest thing to do."
"I feel like I'm in Cirque du Soleil. The best thing I can do for balance is really to bring her into my world. So, I love when she's at the shows," she said of the toddler. "I love when she's in the studio. I love when she's at the events because it feels like I've combined my worlds and I think that's the best... I'm not in two places at once."


JAKARTA (TheInsiderStories) – Swing and undecided voters influence will be very significant in determining the winner of the 2019 election. A number of surveys show that the percentage of this group reaches 10-25 percent of voters or 50 million out of a total of 192,828,520 voters in 2019 elections.
According to the Centre of Strategic and International Studies survey in March, 90 percent of this group was filled with millennial generations with a minimum level of undergraduate education. They are rational groups who are very ignorant in determining political choices except for programs and vision-missions offered rationally and accommodating to their interests.
That means, both candidates must try hard to convince them with a rational campaign. And it could be if the swing voters are not worked well will lead to potential abstentions. As a record, the number of abstentions in the 2009 presidential election amounted to 28.3 percent and increased in the 2014 presidential election to 29.1 percent.
For now, the opposition pair has managed to attract the support of this group. Indikator Politik Indonesia survey conducted on March 22-29 2019 shows, of the 16.9 percent swing voters, 9.2 percent are predicted to choose Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, while around 7.7 percent are predicted to choose Joko Widodo-Ma’ruf Amen.
Whereas 7.2 percent of the undecided voters are predicted to be evenly distributed with each candidate pair receiving 3.6 percent. The total incumbent is predicted to attract 11.3 percent while the opposition is around 12.8 percent. But both groups could still change their choices until the voting day.
“Based on predictions, incumbents are still superior despite continuing to decline ahead of the last weeks of the presidential election. Even the opposition has the opportunity to turn ahead,” he said in Jakarta, Wednesday (04/3).
The Indikator survey did indeed place Widodo-Amin’s superiority at 55.4 percent, and Subianto-Uno gained 37.4 percent of the vote. Thus the electability difference between the two candidates is 18 percent.
Muhtadi stressed, if the two groups of voters divert votes to the opposition then the election results will change completely.
“It is important for us to analyze the undecided and swing voters further, because for example if both of them block into the opposition, 16 percent plus 7 percent, that could potentially change the game. That’s 23 percent, while the difference between the two candidates in the simulation without predicting undecided voters is a difference of 18 percent,” he said.
Muhtadi added, in both total candidate candidates there was around 82 percent of voters who were less likely to change their choices. The rest, it is still likely to change, which is around 16 percent.
Judging further on the supporting bases of each candidate, it was found that 46.6 percent of Widodo-Amin supporters were less likely to change their choices or be called strong voters. While the strong voters in Subianto-Uno voters amounted to 29.2 percent. This solid voter number is part of the electability of the two candidates.
While the Widodo-Amin voters were most likely to change their choices by 8.8 percent. While swing voters in Subianto-Uno voters amounted to 8.1 percent. The number of swing voters is part of the electability of the two candidates. Meanwhile, voters who have not made their choice or undecided voters are 7.2 percent.
“In total, the supporting base has been relatively stable at around 75.9 percent, 46.6 percent is a strong incumbent base, and 29.2 percent are strong opposition bases. Swing voters are more or less balanced on their respective support bases, around 8-9 percent, “he said.
This survey was conducted on March 22-29, 2019. The population in this survey were all Indonesian citizens who had the right to vote in general elections, those who were 17 years or older.
The population was selected by multistage random sampling with the number of respondents as many as 1,220 as the base sample. The margin of error +/- 2.9 percent at a confidence level of 95 percent. The original respondents were 88.1 percent and substitute respondents were 11.9 percent.
Not only affects the presidential election, but swing voters filled with millennials also influence legislative elections. Based on the national survey of Charta Politika Indonesia on April 4, revealing their party identification with political parties was very weak, only around 11.7 percent.
The poll results also revealed the most swing voters experienced by the Demokrat party (51 percent), then followed by Amanat Nasional party (50 percent), Persatuan Pembangunan and Hanura party (47 percent respectively), Gerakan Indonesia Raya party (45 percent) and Golkar (38 percent). The parties with the least swing voters are Keadilan Sejahtera party (20 percent) and Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan party (23 percent).

A virtual IP address (VIP or VIPA) is an IP address that is not assigned to a specific single server or network interface card (NIC). Rather, it is assigned to multiple applications on a single server, multiple domain names, or multiple servers. Normally, a server IP address depends on the MAC address of the attached NIC, and only one logical IP may be assigned per card. However, VIP addressing enables hosting for several different applications and virtual appliances on a server with only one logical IP address. VIPs have several variations and implementations, including Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP) and Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (Proxy ARP).
pfSense Virtual IP Addresses: Proxy ARP
pfSense allows four types of virtual IP addresses: Proxy ARP, CARP, Other, and IP Alias. In this article, I will cover how to configure pfSense virtual IP addresses using Proxy ARP and CARP.
The different types of virtual IP addresses have slightly varied properties. With proxy ARP, the properties are:
- Can only be forwarded by the firewall (cannot be used by the firewall)
- Uses Layer 2 (the data link layer) traffic
- Can be in a different subnet than the interface
- Cannot respond to pings
To configure a Proxy ARP virtual IP address, browse to Firewall -> Virtual IPs and Click the “plus” button to add a new virtual IP address. At type, there are four radio buttons; select the radio button for “Proxy ARP” (it should be the default selection). For “Interface”, select “WAN”. At “IP Address(es)“, select “Single address” for “Type” (this should be the default). At “Address“, specify an IP address. At “Description“, enter a description if desired. Then press “Save” to save the changes and “Apply changes” to apply changes if necessary.
Now, the newly-created VIP should be listed at the “Virtual IPs” tab at Firewall -> Virtual IPs.
pfSense Virtual IP Addresses: CARP
You can also configure a virtual IP with CARP in pfSense 2.0. The properties for a CARP VIP include:
- Can be used or forwarded by the firewall
- Uses Layer 2 (data link layer) traffic
- Should be used in firewall fail-over or load-balancing scenarios
- Must be in the same subnet as the interface
- Will respond to pings if configured properly
To set up a CARP virtual IP address, browse to Firewall -> Virtual IPs and click the “plus” button to add a new virtual IP address. At “Type“, select the “CARP” radio button, and at “Interface“, select “WAN” (it should be the default). At “IP address(es)“, specify an IP address. At “Virtual IP Password“, specify a password. At “VHID Group“, choose a group. At “Advertising Frequency“, select a frequency (0 for master). At “Description“, add a description if desired. Then press “Save” to save the changes and “Apply changes” to apply the changes if necessary.
In part two of this series, I will cover setting up virtual IP addresses with IP Alias and Other types.
Once again, the “Virtual IPs” tab under Firewall -> Virtual IPs should display the newly-created VIP within the list of pfSense virtual IP addresses. In part two, I will cover IP aliases (new to pfSense 2.0) and other VIPs.

Four years ago this month, I woke up in the morning, walked to a mirror, and stared at myself. While looking at my reflection, I told myself this is not who I am. I grabbed my car keys, drove to the nearest hair salon and told one of the stylists to cut my long brown hair. With every strand of falling hair, a weight borne from assuming a heteronormative life seemed to be lifted. Twenty-nine years of my life were disappearing while strands of my hair were falling to the floor, including years of indoctrination. When she finished cutting my hair, I stared at myself in the mirror and for the first time EVER I finally felt liberated, sexy, and beautiful.
At the time, I was attending UC Santa Cruz and experiencing a culture shock, feeling homesick and yearning for my life back in L.A. One night, a few weeks after I had cut my hair, my homie invited me to go clubbing in Mountain View, CA. She knew of a spot where most of the folks that attended were brown and the club played Latino music. Of course, I thought going would be a great way for me to feel like I was back in L.A.
When we got there the music was popping! My homie grabbed my hand and pulled me to the dance floor. The DJ was playing some good rolas and being in a space with people of color felt so good to my heart and soul. I was so in the moment that I had forgotten about the huge transformation I had made to my physical appearance by cutting my hair. But that night, in the midst of my happiness and joy, I was forced to confront the reality of what that meant in a violent way.
The majority of the folks dancing were women. One of them bumped into me and I leaned to say sorry. Her friend pulled her away from me immediately. Women on the dance floor kept their distance from me as if I was a creeper trying to hit on them. They were all protecting themselves from me. I didn’t know how to feel. I had never experienced anything like this. I was confused as to why they would have to protect themselves from me if I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I was feeling very vulnerable and confused.
My friend and I stepped off of the dance floor so she could use the restroom. I waited for her near the dance floor. A handsome young man approached me and asked if he could buy me a drink. I wasn’t sure what to make of it but I decided to say, “Yes”. Why would a dude want to buy me a drink? Did he want to be my friend? Is he hitting on me? My first reaction was to act flirty in exchange for the drink as I had been socialized to do.
When we got to the bar he asked what I wanted and I said, “a beer.”
He asked, “Why a beer? Don’t you want something else like a mixed drink? Beer is for men.”
“Women like beer too,” I said. This whole time I’m not even thinking about my image or how he might be perceiving me.
After a few minutes of telling me about his life he unexpectedly grabs me by the collar of my shirt and starts to pull me back and forth asking me aggressively: “Why do you want to be a man? You want to be a man, then stop acting like a little bitch!” I had no idea what he meant by that.
I was in shock! I’m a woman, I thought to myself. He let go of me and then I saw his fist tighten up, ready to punch me. My friend returned just then and pulled me away, and back onto the dance floor. She hadn’t realized what had just happened.
For the first time in my life, I felt unsafe as a woman with short hair. I knew how to ask for help as a feminine presenting woman but now I didn’t have that. I looked different. In that moment, I realized that people perceive me as a woman with male attributes. I no longer fit into one box and was forced into another. I was no longer part of the feminine world that I was once loved.
Many more similar experiences came after that, not physically violent, but spiritually and emotionally violent. Through the process I grieved the death of the old Carla. I had to let go of the beautiful feminine attributes that I loved about myself. I was pushed away from things that made me who I was. I was confused and lost, not knowing how to perform this new masculinity that was pushed upon me and how to let go of what defined me before.
Who was I? Was I to perform all these stereotypes of what it meant to be a “man”: aggressive, womanizing, tough, insensitive? These experiences forced me to perform negative stereotypes of masculinity that hurt others. It led me to not love myself for who I was and not allow myself just to be me. I hated myself and hated the way I was, even though deep inside it felt right to look masculine.
Every time I stared in the mirror, I was hoping to feel the same way I felt when I had just cut my hair. It felt right but the rest of me didn’t. I wasn’t feeling complete and doubted many times if what I had done was the right thing to do. I was making people suffer and I was suffering as well.
That’s when Brown Boi Project came into my life. I interviewed for a job at BBP and got the position. One of the requirements of the job was to go through the leadership retreat and it completely changed my life!
I became part of a community that had similar experiences. I no longer felt alone. It taught me how to break the traditional expectations of masculinity and femininity. I learned to be myself and that I didn’t have to be stuck in one gender-conforming box. Gender expression is not fixed and I learned how to break the stereotypes of femininity as being something negative and to accept femininity as part of myself. I learned how to value and honor my femininity while simultaneously embracing my new masculinity and recognizing my privilege as masculine of center.
I was no longer in a box. I was able to regain what made the old Carla and learn how to embrace the new me. It wasn’t about me being either masculine or feminine, it was about just being myself. I no longer let society dictate how I’m supposed to perform my identity. I realized that by letting society define me it was hard for me to be free and authentic. In order to be your authentic self you have to break traditional beliefs of what it means to be feminine and masculine.
The community that I built at BBP taught me how to be and love my authentic self. It taught me how to view a whole new form of masculinity played out as well as a whole new way of loving myself by embracing both my masculinity and femininity. Regardless of what I went through, the “simple” act of cutting my hair gave me a whole new life, that at the time I didn’t know what to make of. BBP gave me the tools to be able to make sense of myself and the world around me.


1 BUDGET DAY Sask. finance minister Ken Krawetz did the thing with the new shoes and now today he’s giving birth to a bouncing baby budget. He says it’s “balanced” which is a huge relief cause can you imagine if a finance minister came out of the gate saying “our budget is wildly skewed and we clearly have no idea what we’re doing”? You don’t want a loose cannon like that in charge of public money.
2 IDLE? DO MORE Journalist & CBC host Wab Kinew was in town for the Minifie lecture last night and told journalists to basically try harder, especially when covering Aboriginal issues. Fair point well made.
3 MORTGAGE INTERVENTION So HARPER GOVERNMENT finance minister Jim Flaherty basically smacked the hands of big banks and said “stop that as they lowered their greedy interest rates into potential homebuyers’ cookie jars, and for some reason the opposition meme is “Flaherty is reneging on free-market principles” as opposed to looking at this and wondering how close our economy actually is at any given time to a 2008-style collapse.
4 WE’RE NUMBER 17 OR SO I think, if I’m reading this very official-looking chart right, Regina is the 17th best place to live in Canada. That’s right, get fucked, uh *scrolls to random spot on page* Kitchener? Wow, okay. Sure.
5 SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY Voyager leaves the solar system and now scientists get to find out if it’s in interstellar space or – I actually fistpumped while reading this – a previously undiscovered part of space that comes before interstellar space. SPAAAACE!
6 SOMEONE’S WORST NIGHTMARE Because of how access journalism works, instead of everyone watching as the hammer comes down on the British finance minister’s office for leaking the budget early, some intern at the Weekly Standard is going to get fired for the crime of totally legally tweeting the next day’s front page, which just so happens to contain budget information that was yet to drop. Whoops! The embargo system is garbage.


What Is Quick Coupling or Quick Connect Coupler?
Quick couplings are also known as quick connect couplers. These are general purpose couplings that can connect at either end of the connection.
Quick couplings can be connected and disconnected easily as they are compact but very robust and sturdy in their application. They are highly reliable as they provide unswerving service for the transfer of fluid for pneumatic, hydraulic and vacuum systems.
The couplings on the flow side have a floating ball valve that closes automatically when the couplings are disconnected and hence prevent the spillage of fluid from the system.
They are generally designed according to the maximum working pressure and could be made of steel, brass or stainless steel depending upon the application and the type of fluid.
The major applicable fluids are air, oil and water. Specific grades of hydraulic oil, fuel oil and lube oil could be used as well for the same.
These couplings can become sluggish over a long time and might pick up rust due to the nature of the fluid being transferred and hence extreme care must be taken when they are removed from the pressurized system.
Simple hack – These couplings must once be put in diesel oil after removal for the smooth functioning of the ball float and the small steel balls which form the part of the mechanism.
All the main engine and auxiliary engine hydraulic tools are connected by high-pressure hydraulic hoses joined by quick couplings which are robust and have a high strength to witness such high pressure ranging from 0-2500 bars or higher.
These couplings must be checked for their operation before the system is pressurized to prevent unwanted injuries.
After connecting couplings, they must be rotated to check their proper connection. The coupling heads rotate on the balls inside the coupling and hence ensure their perfect connection.
The couplings basically have two parts mainly – a socket and a plug.
The socket is a male part of the coupling and the plug being the female part.
The quick couplings are of various types, such as:
Single End Shut Off Coupler
As the name suggests, these couplings shut off only one side of the coupling, mainly the socket side i.e. male part and hence prevent the leakage of the fluid.
These couplings are low-pressure couplings used mainly for air, oil and water with a maximum pressure of 20 bars. They also have a similar ball float which snaps shut the flow as soon as they’re disconnected.
These are available in variety of sizes, again depending on the application.
Single End Shut Off Coupler can further be of many types, such as
- Hose End Type
- Male Thread Type
- Female Thread Type
Double End Shut Off Coupler (Standard Pressure)
This type of couplings shut off both (instantaneously), the socket and the plug upon disconnection. They can be of brass, stainless steel or steel with different pressure ranges, sizes and applications of fluid.
Double-end shut off couplers are used in standard pressure applications with a maximum working pressure of 100 bars.
Normal Working Pressure – 20 bars
Maximum Working Pressure – 100 bars.
Double End Shut Off Coupler (High Pressure)
They are generally recommended for high-pressure applications of compressed air, hydraulic and water systems. The steel used to make these couplings is special annealed steel for higher strength and reliability. Similarly, both the sockets and plugs are closed by an inner valve when they are disconnected.
The high pressure that they can withstand depends upon the size of the main body.
Normal Working Pressure – 210 bars
Maximum Working Pressure – 215 bars
Double End Shut Off Coupler (Ultra High Pressure)
These are only for high-pressure hydraulic oil applications. They have a ring lock device that provides extra safety against shock and vibration. They have very high reliability against leakage as well.
Normal Working Pressure – 700 bars
Maximum Working Pressure – 2500 bars
Line couplers are generally used to connect two or more couplings simultaneously to a single line. They are used in hydraulic couplings of cylinder heads of the main engine and auxiliary engine onboard.
This is another form of quick coupling used for the transfer of cryogenic liquid such as LNG etc. QCDC stands for “quick connect disconnect”.
Thus, these types of couplings are efficient, reliable, easy to connect and of great use in modern-day to day operations on-board a ship.

Farina at the premiere of the HBO series 'Luck' in January, 2012 (Photo: AP)
Dennis Farina played a lot of police officers - and the character actor, who has died at age 69, was well prepared for the role.
Before becoming an actor, Farina spent 18 years serving on Chicago's police force. From 2004 to 2006, he played Det. Joe Fontana on 'Law & Order'.
Farina was a Chicago native, and it was his police work that led him to the movies. He started out as a police consultant for director Michael Mann, a gig that led to his first film role, in Mann's 1981 action drama 'Thief'.
"I remember being intrigued by the whole thing," he told the Associated Press about his first acting role in a 2004 interview. "I liked it. And everybody was extremely nice to me. If the people were rude and didn't treat me right, things could have gone the other way."
He continued to moonlight as an actor in Chicago's theatre scene after that first role, and Mann eventually brought him to television as Detective Lt. Mike Torello on 'Crime Story' and as the mobster Albert Lombard in 'Miami Vice'.
In fact when he wasn't playing cops, Farina often got to play crooks: he was mob boss Jimmy Serrano in 'Midnight Run', a jeweller-gangster in 'Snatch', and Ray 'Bones' Barboni in 'Get Shorty', a rival criminal to John Travolta's Chili Palmer.
His 'Get Shorty' role gave him a chance to try out comedy, a talent he also showed off in productions like HBO's 'Empire Falls' and 'Bottle Shock' opposite Alan Rickman, and his final project 'Lucky Stiff', which he recently finished shooting.
For an idea of just how funny he could be, check out this scene from 'Big Trouble', in which he takes some cigar smokers in a restaurant to task over manners:
Farina was also a proud Italian-American. In this outtake interview from the documentary 'And They Came to Chicago: The Italian American Legacy', he talks about his father's experiences during the Depression:
Farina is survived by three sons, six grandchildren and his longtime partner Marianne Cahill.
