As technology improves, law and regulation must improve for the sake of public safety.
Excavation damage has been a leading – and in many years the leading – cause of pipeline incidents for decades. More than ten years ago, Congress addressed what was then the leading contributor to these incidents at the time – an excavator’s failure to notify the pipeline’s operator of the planned excavation. The lack of a uniform method of communication between pipeline operators and excavators made it nearly impossible for pipeline operators to provide excavators the location of underground pipeline facilities prior to the excavator putting a drill in the ground.
Creating the “811” program changed that – anyone anywhere can now dial 811 on their phone and be immediately connected to their state or local clearinghouse, or “one-call center” to notify them about upcoming excavation activity. As use of the 811 system increased, the share of incidents attributed to “failure to notify” dropped from more than 50 percent to less than 25 percent.
Learn more about Damage Prevention.
By all accounts, 811 is a resounding success. But, like all things, if we spend too much time and focus patting ourselves on the back for past accomplishments, we are not spending enough time looking for future solutions. And just like that, ten years passed and no serious legislative or regulatory efforts were made to further improve excavation safety.
A host of new technologies have come to market – many of which we use in our everyday lives (e.g. GPS location technology, smart phones, tablets, etc.) – that can significantly improve efficiency and excavation safety outcomes.
One particular system, Enhanced Positive Response (EPR), which incorporates these technologies, as described in greater detail below, has shown enormous promise. More than a handful of underground facility (i.e., pipelines, telecommunications networks) operators in ten-plus states now use EPR. However, despite successful pilot projects, increased operational efficiencies, and unanimous agreement about its safety benefits, not a single state has formally adopted EPR as a legally required component of its damage prevention laws or regulations. This is especially stunning considering the potential cost savings the states themselves would experience through a more streamlined one-call center process.
Fast forward to 2016, when Congress asked the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to review excavation safety practices, and specifically how new technologies could be incorporated to improve safety outcomes in the pipeline safety reauthorization bill. PHMSA responded, sending a completed study back to Congress the following year. It was no surprise that EPR was referenced nearly 10 times throughout the study as an effective tool for preventing pipeline damage during the excavation process. In fact, EPR occupied the top spot out of the nine recommendations the agency returned to Congress.
In one excerpt, PHMSA explains how it works and the safety improvements experienced in the one of the pilot programs:
“Enhanced Positive Response: Enhanced positive response allows for completed ticket information, including photos and manifests of the dig site, to be provided to the excavator in advance of the digging project. This is often provided through the one-call centers. According to information submitted to the CGA by Utiliquest, users of enhanced positive response report up to a 67 percent decrease in damage rates.”
Later in the study, PHMSA points out that use of advanced technologies is critical to addressing gaps in current damage prevention programs, and again points to EPR as a tool to make sure all parties to a project are on the same page:
“Enhanced positive response coordinated through one-call centers needs wider implementation; it can vastly improve communication among all involved in the digging process and has been shown to reduce damage rates.”
Among its nine recommendations to Congress, PHMSA identified EPR as its number one solution for its ability to serve as a communication/collaboration tool to foster better communication between parties. The agency’s sixth recommendation was to consider national standards for certain one-call practices and in ninth, PHMSA recommended implementation of certain Common Ground Alliance best practices.
Again, there is no surprise that EPR was identified by CGA as a best practice back in 2017. This required unanimous approval from 16 diverse stakeholder groups within CGA’s membership. CGA has also hailed Enhanced Positive Response in every one of its annual of its Technology Reports, even projecting that by 2030 EPR would be an integral component of the “idealized” dig.
It’s clear that wider adoption of EPR is a critical step in improving excavation safety. States should already have updated their programs to include EPR as a required component of damage prevention compliance, but none have. Congress missed an opportunity to fix that in the latest PHMSA reauthorization, and again when it passed a trillion-dollar infrastructure law in 2021. Not only were these opportunities missed, but the latter may have actually created a bigger problem – exacerbating damage trends by infusing the construction sector with billions of dollars and enflaming already rising excavation damage trends. Knowing the strong correlation between construction spending and pipeline damage, a nationwide standard to mitigate damage during excavation projects is essential for public safety, environmental security, and economic wellbeing.
To be sure, there are many policy areas better managed at the state and local level, but when it comes to pipeline safety, the costs of failure are too high, and the public interest surrounding pipelines too strong to ignore the federal government’s obligation to set minimum safety thresholds. Further, more uniform tech-based standards across states would allow for consolidation of one-call centers working off of one common network, leading to cost savings at the state and federal level. New technologies bring new opportunities, and EPR has proven to be a simple and effective path to eliminating unnecessary pipeline incidents, increasing operational efficiency, and reducing costs.

Marcus Morris never will forget the day he discovered he had been traded to the Celtics, because the call woke him up.
His coach at the time, Stan Van Gundy, was on the line. Morris didn’t need a sixth sense to detect a change in fate.
“Yeah, he called me at 6 o’clock in the morning. He could’ve at least let me sleep a little bit. You know if you get a call from Van Gundy at 6 in the morning, you know it’s something,” the Celtics forward said. “So when he called me, I was just hoping it wasn’t that, but it is what it is. It’s the NBA. I love the Celtics. I love the organization. I couldn’t have asked for a better situation.”
But as Morris admitted after his old team beat his new team on Monday night at the Garden, it’s not as if he wanted out of Detroit — not with that coach, or teammates who have come together to form one of the early surprises of the NBA season.
Morris has something bad to compare it to, too. His Pistons experience — and the one he’s now enjoying with the Celtics — stands in great contrast to his beginnings in a confusing situation in Phoenix. The Suns eventually jettisoned an unhappy Morris, and later his twin brother, Markieff. But the ever-communicating Van Gundy showed him a good side of the league.
“A lot different. Stan, everything he told me was the truth. He was always straight up and down with me,” Morris said. “We had conversations, we talked a lot, we had great conversations. In Phoenix, I mean you see the (expletive) going on out there. Nothing has changed. (But) I don’t really want to speak on that. Stan does a great job of just being himself all the time, so I couldn’t have asked for anything better than that.
“I had a lot of love for Detroit, still do. I felt like that was a home for me. They got Avery (Bradley). He’s playing (great) basketball over there. I don’t fault him for any of that. I’ve got nothing but love about that entire organization.”
Van Gundy certainly didn’t want to part with Morris — or let fellow new Celtic and former Piston Aron Baynes leave via free agency. But such is the volatile nature of business in the NBA.
“We never had one thought about trading Marcus ever. It was the availability of Avery Bradley,” Van Gundy said. “That’s what it came down to. We were in a situation where we had a free agent 2-guard (Kentavious Caldwell-Pope) and nothing had been resolved there, and then Avery’s availability came up and Marcus was what was required to get it done. We tried to do it with other people in the deal, so it’s what we had to do to get it done. Marcus and Aron both, I mean, two of my favorite guys, really tough, unselfish, team-oriented guys. You couldn’t ask for more. Especially when I look back a few years down the road, and you’re looking back and saying, ‘Who is your favorite group of guys you’ve coached?’ Those two guys will be in that group.”
Youthful 1-2 punch
The Celtics go up against the best rookie/second-year player combination in the league tomorrow night, when Philadelphia comes in with Joel Embiid and Rookie of the Year front-runner Ben Simmons.
But based on the way Celtics rookie Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have kicked off the 2017-18 season, there isn’t another team beyond the Sixers with this kind of young combination.
“Obviously, with all of the moves that we made, it was pretty clear that they were both going to have to play and probably play quite a bit,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens said of his thinking going into this season. “It was pretty evident in the first week of practice that this was pretty unique as far as two young guys being able to impact us in a good way.
“You never know how that’s going to translate when the lights come on, but in the exhibition games, you saw glimpses of it. Especially that game where we sat all those guys and the young guys played against Philly. I thought that was kind of one of those moments where you knew that those guys were probably ahead of their age and benefit from now having Kyrie (Irving) and Al (Horford) that draw all the attention on the court.
“But the one thing that I will say that we talked a lot about prior to the draft was that it was pretty enticing to have Jayson Tatum paired next to Jaylen Brown. That seemed to make sense with their versatility, their length and athleticism.”
Take a break
The Celtics are in the midst of a rare two-day gap without a game, with an off day yesterday and an actual practice scheduled for today.
“I’m looking forward to (two days at home),” Irving said. “Every other day, we’ve been playing, so I’m looking forward to it. I’m going to take full advantage of it. So just to kind of restart — well, not restart, but get your body back right, mentally kind of get away from the game for a day or two. And then lock right back in.”

Thanks for visiting!
This portfolio page shows a sampling of the first thirty-five cards that were completed. The artist will not be previewing all 78 images as he does not wish this site to become a resourse for copyright violating miscreants. The artist encourages the curious to visit Aeclectic.net, to read a summary review by one of the deck's authors.
How did this deck get started?
About nine years ago, the members of what became Expanding Dimensions LLC, found in each other the common goal of creating a truly contemporary interpretation of the tarot. Beyond that, the story of how and their earliest days together is mostly a tale for them to relate. As they continued to work out the concept of their deck they began a search for an artist to help them realize their vision.
The earliest artists they interviewed fell into two broad categories. Persons who understood the authors' goals, but whose work fell short of their standards. And persons who did good work, but who did not understand the authors' goals (one of whom (called "The Artist from Hell") was even hostile toward the underlying ideas of tarot). It is this last person that this artist least understands; like the woman season one of "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist" who seemed to consider herself to be above commercial work. Despite the contention that artists are some sort of lazy good-for-nothings, artists are the creators of PRODUCTS that, although risky investments, have a very high rate of return whenever they turn out good.
In 2007, Chris Wilkey had a studio at Louisville, KY's Mellwood Arts and Entertainment Center. Two of the authors found him in his studio one day and, liking much of what they saw, talked to him about tarot and related subjects. When asked if he ever might create a tarot deck on his own, he responded that it would not be any time soon, if ever. "Why not?" Because he didn't have a deep enough understanding to make a MEANINGFUL reinterpretation, he replied. Of the many decks he'd seen up to that point and since, that claim to be contemporary, only style and technique of rendering had really been addressed (there are only a few exeptions to this). These other various decks failed to really update the CONTENT of tarot, only redesigning the surface. Not only did Chris create good work, he understood the goals.
Chris is very happy to have had the opportunity to participate in this project that brings a new vision to this divinatory and psychological tool. It has given him a deeper understanding of his own intuition and of a subtler world. He looks forward to future projects of this and other sorts.

Dean Henderson says he was ‘fuming’ with Manchester United after being told he’d replace David de Gea only to play second fiddle as goalkeeper opens up on ‘toughest 12 months of my career’
Dean Henderson has expressed his frustration at the way Manchester United handled him as he opened up on the ‘toughest 12 months’ of his career.
The goalkeeper, who’s spending this season on loan at Nottingham Forest, had a frustrating 2021/22 season which saw him play second fiddle to David de Gea.
However, Henderson claims he was told he’d be Man United’s first choice keeper before a bout of long COVID curtailed his Euro 2020 with England and the start of his season at Old Trafford.
“To be honest, it has probably been the toughest 12 months of my career,” Henderson told talkSPORT.
“It has been tough, hard, and I am so happy I have gone out the other end of it.
“I am so excited to be at Nottingham Forest and ready to go.
“The conversation I had coming out of the Euros squad was ‘you’re coming back here to be the No.1.’
“I got COVID, came back, so I should have still been the No.1, but then unfortunately nobody followed through with what they had told me.
“It was frustrating because I turned down so many good loans last summer for that reason, and they would not let me go.
“To sit there and waste 12 months, it is criminal really, at my age, I was fuming.
“I worked hard off the pitch and on the training pitch to keep improving, day-in-day-out, and now I am looking forward to the season with Nottingham Forest.
“I didn’t really want the manager to come in and see me in training because I knew that he’d probably want to keep me so I tried to do it all before I left for the season.
“I told the hierarchy that I need to be playing football, I don’t want to be here and play second fiddle, it was planned out. I was almost gone before the manager [Erik ten Hag] came through the door. I have not spoken to him since.”
“You may have noticed that I haven’t been able to do an interview in two years,” Henderson added. “That’s evident, isn’t it?
“I just kept myself to myself, I’ve sort of toned down in the sense where I don’t need to be saying stuff, I just go and end up doing it.
“There’s nothing wrong with self-belief, you have to believe in yourself in this game.
“Especially in this position you’re probably playing the hardest position on the pitch, you have to believe in yourself.
“Maybe when I’m younger I said a few things in interviews that I maybe shouldn’t have and it may have been over the top but it’s all part of learning.”
Henderson also revealed the conversations he had with Forest boss Steve Cooper before completing his loan switch.
“Steve Cooper came to see me, he said one thing to me. He said: ‘Look, I don’t care what you’ve done in the game, I don’t care about this, that and the other, I want you to come and play for me and I’ll back you 110 per cent.’
“It’s something I’ve been crying out for for 365 days. It was fantastic to hear a manager have that trust in me and I can’t wait to repay him.”

Testing for the virus was a top priority, so he connected with a private laboratory to ensure that his firefighters, who were transporting coronavirus patients to hospitals, could be regularly tested.
And then he heard that Thermo Fisher Scientific, a Massachusetts company that makes laboratory equipment and materials, was beta testing an air sampler that could help him detect airborne coronavirus particles.
By December, he had installed one in a fire station hallway. The device, about the size of a toaster oven, sucked in ambient air and trapped airborne virus particles — if there were any to be found — in a specialized cartridge. Each afternoon, an employee would remove the cartridge and walk it to the UPS drop box across the street, sending it off for laboratory analysis.

The Air France–KLM Group has announced today that it will be enhancing its fleet by issuing a “firm order” for ten more A350-900s, which will take its total order for the aircraft up to 38.
With the further acquisition of the groundbreaking vehicle, considered to be one of the industry’s most advanced widebody planes, the group hopes to take advantage of a dramatic slash in fuel burn and CO2 emissions, to maximise efficiency and boost their bottom line.
“Ambitious sustainability agenda”
The A350 XWB features a carbon fibre fuselage and wings, plus new fuel-efficient Rolls-Royce engines. This tech helps translate into unrivalled levels of operational efficiency with a 25 per cent reduction in fuel burn and emissions. The A350 XWB’s Airspace by Airbus cabin is the quietest of any twin-aisle and offers passengers and crews the most modern in-flight products for the most comfortable flying experience.
“Rationalising and modernising the fleet is central to our effort to regain our leading position in Europe”, said Benjamin Smith, CEO of Air France-KLM Group. “It will strengthen our performance from both an economic and operational standpoint, and will help us deliver on our ambitious sustainability agenda. Offering a 25% reduction in fuel consumption compared to previous generation aircraft, the Airbus A350-900 is a jewel of European expertise and a passenger favourite. We are excited to see it become a core asset of the Air France fleet.”
“Ben is leading an impressive transformation at Air France-KLM and we feel honoured that our A350 aircraft have been selected as part of this endeavor.” said Guillaume Faury, Airbus chief executive officer. “We sincerely thank Air France-KLM for the confidence placed in us.”
Air France-KLM currently operates a fleet of 159 Airbus aircraft.

Hath‘s debut, Of Rot and Ruin, was my runaway album of the year for 2019. As Eden pointed out when debuting the lead single from it’s follow-up earlier this year, I not only published a review for the record, but a guest list, and what I still think is one of the best Anatomy Of features we’ve ever done. Unlike our glorious editor in chief, however, I didn’t witness much of a push for the album outside of our immediate sphere and it often seemed like I was often yelling into the void about just how good that album actually was. Flash forward a few years and the release campaign for All That Was Promised is all but inescapable, with glowing reviews and single debuts popping up all over the place. It seems all eyes are on the New Jersey quartet and rightfully so. They remain one of the best and most exciting new voices in extreme metal and, even if this highly anticipated follow-up falls slightly short of being (ahem…) all that was promised by their debut, it comes pretty damn close.
All That Was Promised is a great death metal album. At times it is transcendent. “Kenosis” is a phenomenal track that perfectly balances crushing brutality with otherworldly progressive melodies and clean vocals and is probably the single strongest composition Hath have come out with to date, while “Lithopaedic” shows they can get still get downright filthy when they feel like it. Surprisingly, it’s these more concise and direct offerings than the elongated, apocalyptic epics Hath made their name with on Of Rot and Ruin, and with which the rest of this album is exclusively populated, that make for its strongest offerings. Tracks like these show a real refinement of the band’s already potent core sound while also pushing the progressiveness and technicality of their playing. Tracks like these are an absolute masterclass in modern (progressive) death metal and I hope to see them refine this streamlining further on furture releases.
All That Was Promised also sees Hath carving out more of a unique sound for themselves. The comparisons to Opeth were pretty inescapable on Of Rot and Ruin and while there are still a few lingering nods to the Swedish progfathers’ specific brand of spindly riffing on tracks like “Iosis” and “Death Complex”, for the most part its successor takes from a broader and less direct pool of influences. As a result All that Was Promised has a far more distinctive and individual sound than Hath’s debut. Yet, at the same time, it is also a noticeably less diverse record than its predecessor. Acoustic passages are all but absent and the band find themselves dipping into the melodic well far less often, or otherwise layering their melodic sections beneath so much ongoing intensity that they aren’t allowed to provide the kind of contrast or hooks they did previously. These parts are still there, but All that Was Promised is a much denser affair than Of Rot and Ruin and it often feels like you have to go digging for its golden nuggets rather than the band putting them in front of you as much as they did on their debut. Moments like the Pink Floyd-ian prog break at the end of “Casting of the Self” and the ominous intro to the title-track therefore feel like a reprieve from all the brutality rather than an elevation of their savage surrounds. One effective way to mitigate the density of All that Was Promised is to simply listen to it through headphones, where it truly comes alive amid Alan Douches’ (The Black Dahlia Murder, Cannibal Corpse, Death) crisp mastering and the band’s own superb production. Listening to it through speakers though might leave you a bit lost and doesn’t quite do it or the album justice.
One other, mostly meta, gripe I have is the constant referral to Hath as a “blackened” death metal band in their marketing material. A blackened tonality and black metal-esque tremolo picking are certainly present throughout the band’s sound and noticeably more prominent here than on Or Rot and Ruin. Yet they remain merely some of the many elements that comprise Hath’s eclectic take on death metal. Nor are any of the influential bands they listen in our Antomy Of feature (Bloodbath, Nile, In Flames, Arsis, The Ocean, Svart Crown, Between the Buried and Me, Opeth and Nevermore) in any way blackened, although their collective love for the last Abigail Williams record shows they’re certainly engaged with the scene. It’s unclear whether this “blackened” label comes from the band themselves but, either way, their bandcamp tags don’t even mention the word “progressive” though they list both “blackened” and straight “black metal”, which I think is doing them a great disservice. To me, Hath have far more to do with progressive than blackened death metal, and it would be both more accurate and beneficial for them to be associated with the likes of Rivers of Nihil, Opeth and Black Crown initiate than Behemoth and Belphegor or whoever.
While it doesn’t quite live up to its predecessor, All That Was Promised is still one of the best death metal albums you’ll hear all year. There’s a lot here to unpack but the rewards are more than worth it if you’re willing to put the effort in and the band should be commended for carving out their own niche within the realms of progressive death metal rather than leaning on the laurels of their forebears. There’s room for that sound to be pushed further and perhaps also deployed more effectively, but not since Rivers of Nihil have a band of their ilk come so strongly out of the gate as this, and with this second offering they have well and truly earned their spot among the vanguard of modern progressive death metal.

Hath’s All That Was Promised is due out March 4th, 2022 via Willowtip Records. Pre-orders are available at this location.

text: Tom Nickel... the man, the myth, the legend. You can't talk about the San Diego craft beer scene without his name coming up. Perhaps I gush too much, but I am just so excited that his new brewery, Nickel Beer Co., has finally opened up in Julian. Just over a week old, I am confident that this young brewery will be a permanent fixture in the small mountain community. Busy as a bee, caring for his new "baby", Tom was right at home tending bar the day of my visit. With 3 beers available, a Pale Ale, an IPA, and a Stout, I was eager to try each one. Try, I did, and disappointed, I wasn't! I inadvertently sampled the Chinook IPA first, thinking it was the Pale Ale. Once I tried the Pale Ale I realized my mistake. Hoppy and easy to drink, a bit of smoke in the finish made for a unique IPA experience, a must if you want to stand out among all the other IPA's San Diego has to offer. The Julian Pale Ale was exceptional. Tom said it was "almost" where he wanted it, but I wouldn't change a thing! Light and crisp, the hops are present but not overly so. Given the choice between a Pale Ale and an IPA, I always choose the IPA. This beer has me questioning that decision. Finally, I tried the Stonewall Stout. While I am not a huge fan of Stouts (like you didn't already know that) it was an excellent representation of the style. I can imagine sipping this roasty brew while watching the snow gently fall outside the cozy brewery walls. I was impressed, but not surprised, by the quality of each of the beers, and am anxious to try more as they become available. Julian is a great place to go for a day trip, and now you have another reason to go besides pie!

Polish Politicians Smeared By Alleged Kremlin Ties
Premier offers to resign over probe into charges of spying
| KRAKOW, POLAND
POLAND yesterday struggled to wade out of a spy scandal that strikes at the heart of the nation's government and raises concern over how completely its leaders have severed their ties to Communism.
Jozef Oleksy announced on TV Wednesday that he would resign as prime minister after the Warsaw military prosecutor decided to launch a formal investigation into allegations that he spied for Moscow in the 1980s and 1990s.
His announcement highlights Poland's most jarring political crisis since the end of Communist rule in 1989. Mr. Oleksy, who was once head of the ideology department of the Communist Party's Central Committee, says that he never gave information to the KGB. But the investigation raises concern over the Communist roots of his party, the Social Democratic Alliance (SLD), which controls parliament and the presidency.
The spy allegations also raise fears over Poland's eligibility for NATO membership. ''Internal matters connected with the political crisis in Poland are the quickest way to dissolve what is good for the state. This crisis threatens our integration into NATO and the European Union,'' said Tadeusz Wilecki, head of the general staff of the Polish Army.
The scandal also has fueled rumors that Western intelligence agencies tipped off Poland's secret service to Oleksy's alleged cooperation with Moscow. Others speculate that Moscow is trying to destabilize Poland because they do not want their former Warsaw pact ally to join NATO.
Now the coalition has two weeks to form a new government, or the parliament will be dissolved and new elections will be called. The coalition met yesterday with President Alexander Kwasniewski to discuss the forming of a new government.
At least one person finds triumph in the crisis: former President Lech Walesa. The anti-Communist leader of the underground Solidarity movement was defeated in November elections at the hands of Mr. Kwasniewski, a former Communist official. During the campaign, Mr. Walesa warned voters of the return of the ''red web.'' Walesa's minister of the internal affairs filed charges against Oleksy just before Walesa left office in December.
Now Walesa is trying to form a coalition of parties on the right in case there are early elections. ''In a stable democratic country, the only solution in a situation like this would be to hold early elections,'' he said after hearing the prosecutor's decision.
The evidence against Oleksy is based on claims that he gave information to two Soviet officials who were known as KGB spies. Oleksy befriended the agents when they lived in the Warsaw district known as the ''Bay of Red Pigs.'' Moscow says that Oleksy was not an agent for them.
Further allegations have emerged in the press over the last month, snowballing the scandal. A story in the weekly magazine Wprost claims that other members of the SLD spied for Moscow when they were a part of Poland's Communist government.
Negotiations to form a new government will be complicated, because the Peasants Party, the SLD's coalition partner, says that if it is not happy with the government restructuring, it might join the right-wing opposition.

An Israeli company by the name of Steakholder Foods has developed the world’s first 3D bio-printer that can produce edible meat without any harm to animals.
By utilizing customizable bio inks, the company managed to produce a first of its kind fish product, all under lab conditions.
“We’re excited to be working with Umami Meats to develop 3D-printed structured fish products that have the same great taste and texture as traditionally caught fish, without harming the environment,” told Arik Kaufman, CEO of Steakholder Foods, to reporters.
“Having created a customized bio-ink that works effectively with Umami’s cells and optimized the taste and texture to meet the high standards of consumers, we anticipate expanding our collaborations to a greater variety of species with additional partners,” stated Kaufman to the Vegconomist. The firms are also collaborating on the development of 3D-printed cultivated eel.
The company is developing a slaughter-free solution for producing a variety of beef, and seafood products — both as raw materials and whole cuts — as an alternative to industrialized farming and fishing. With its membership in the UN Global Compact, Steakholder Foods is committed to act in support of issues embodied in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which include strengthening food security, decreasing carbon footprint, and conserving water and land resources.

Taking its title from one of Vladimir Mayakovsky’s greatest poems, in which the future poet of the Russian Revolution revealed that he could be as tender hearted as “a cloud in trousers”, this play sets out to bring us the story of the man himself.
Trying to capture the essence of an artist like Mayakovsky is arguably as impossible as trying to capture a cloud, but Trafford’s play gets us as close as we are likely to get.
While focusing on Mayakovsky’s personal relationship with married couple Osip and Lili Brik, Steve Trafford’s play succeeds in giving a real sense of the wider political context of Russia in the frenzy of revolution.
Mayakovsky appears to us as a self declared “man from the future”, sort of a socialist Doctor Who figure, who has no time for the rules and conventions of what seems a dying world in a state of permanent war.
Mayakovsky falls in love with Lili Brik, whose husband, Osip, happens to be Mayakovsky’s publisher, and the three then try to commit themselves completely to breaking with the old ways of living and loving. As Lili puts it, “How can we be communist with our ideas, and be bourgeois, possessive, about each other?”
Their attempt at making “a revolution within a revolution” faces all sorts of obstacles, not least because the outside world is changing as well.
The play evokes the darkening atmosphere of Russia under the rising Stalinist bureaucracy well.
Despite the ultimately tragic outcome, and the dawning realisation by the three that “we don’t live in the world we are striving for”, their unbroken commitment to a different world means the play is not without hope, nor humour, and should not be missed.

In a companion piece, I wrote about the difficult questions of strategy toward China confronting the Trump administration. Even if they do not sort these all out, the administration is clearly determined to do something about trade with China. So what are the tactical options?
Standard Trade Remedies
The United States applies tariffs to Chinese products all the time when domestic producers file and win anti-dumping and countervailing duty cases (AD/CVD). These (usually) comply with global trade rules, but continuing along this path is just more of the same thing we’ve been doing for years, unlikely to impress China-trade critics.
Enhanced Trade Remedies
Usually, the AD/CVD cases are filed by domestic groups competing with imports. This week, however, the Trump administration self-initiated a case against aluminum imports. While rare, the move is largely symbolic. In the end, the case has to go through the same procedures as with private initiation.
New Trade Remedies
AD/CVD cases are not the only ones permitted under global trade law. The administration earlier this year dusted off a separate investigative procedure allowing countries to defend national security interests (“Section 232”). While it was touted as a way to get tough on steel and aluminum, there are two problems with using this against China: 1. China does not make the top ten of U.S. steel import sources; 2. The administration discovered that protection on such key inputs to production hurts domestic industries and, in turn, upsets members of Congress. The Section 232 investigation was due at the end of June. It has yet to be released.
Market Economy Status
This one is a carrot, not a stick. China really wants ‘market economy status.’ Chinese leaders think they were promised this status in 2001 and have filed a case at the World Trade Organization (WTO) claiming the United States and Europe have reneged on that promise. This is linked to AD/CVD cases, since market economy status for China would seriously reduce the tariffs that U.S. industries would win in those trade remedy cases. However, because this is a really big carrot, China might be willing to trade a lot for it.
Easily the most effective way of getting China to improve its commercial behavior on the global scene has been to set global rules and then ask the Chinese to conform to them. That was done with the WTO. It was also the plan for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which excluded China but dealt with key issues such as the behavior of state-owned enterprises.
Unfortunately, this is the tool that the Trump administration tossed out the window on Day One, when it withdrew from the TPP. The WTO has not fared much better under the new administration, given President Trump’s passionate but baseless detestation of multilateral deals.
Even if one hates multilateralism, if the WTO exists anyway, why not press complaints against China there? Three problems: 1. Existing WTO rules don’t cover everything we would like them to. There are only limited disciplines on subsidies and there is almost nothing on state-owned enterprises. 2. To press a WTO case, you need a domestic industry willing to serve as complainant. There tends to be little or no enthusiasm among U.S. companies for taking on China so publicly. 3. The Trump administration is in the midst of disabling the WTO dispute settlement system through blocking key appointments, to the point where it could cease to function.
Block Chinese Investment in the United States
There are pushes to limit the sorts of investments that China can make. The problem is that politicians usually welcome the influx of money that investment brings. The two biggest-ticket items announced when President Trump just visited Beijing were Chinese investments in the United States, not export purchases.
Unilateralism and Trade War
This can range from the subtle, as with Section 301 cases alleging unfair practices, or it can be blunt, as with the 45 percent tariffs promised in President Trump’s campaign. It would include any move outside of global trade rules that could escalate into a reciprocal raising of barriers. The general presumption of advocates for getting tough is that the United States would win such a war, since it runs a trade deficit of hundreds of billions of dollars with China. That celebrated deficit number conceals some important considerations, however.
First, the deficit is a net number. In gross terms, the United States exports a great deal to China (almost $170bn in goods and services in 2016). If one considers a commodity such as soybeans, a Chinese retaliatory move to block U.S. exports and source more from South America would be devastating for large swathes of rural (often red state) America.
Second, much of modern international commerce runs on global supply chains and China often supplies key links in those chains. A breakdown in China trade would hurt all sorts of U.S. industries.
Such a trade war would not feel like winning (nor would it eliminate U.S. trade deficits).
For almost a decade now, U.S. political leaders have struck a resonant chord during elections by promising to get tough with China and to emphasize trade enforcement. Then they get into office and begin reading the fine print on the weapons in the arsenal.

The House of Representatives made an unprecedented move as it will temporarily allow proxy voting and remote hearings as the nation combats the coronavirus outbreak.
With a 217 to 189 vote, largely along party lines, the House approved the proposal on Friday. This will allow one lawmaker to vote by proxy on the behalf of up to 10 others who are not able to travel to Washington, D.C., as NPR notes.
Rep. Jim McGovern, the Rules Committee chairman, (D-Mass.) said on the House floor on Friday that the suggestion for changes was not taken “lightly,” as he noted, “I still believe that we do our best work in person and side by side.”
“But we must temporarily embrace technology during this unprecedented time,” he added.
The move was not met with a warm welcome by all, as Republicans pushed back on the unprecedented move.
“The vote Friday night was not only unprecedented in our nation’s history – it was completely unwarranted,” he wrote.
Additionally, ahead of Friday’s vote, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said on the House floor, “We can continue to work in a safe and effective manner without overturning 230 years of constitutional and legislative tradition.”
The proposal will expire at the end of this session. It also needs to be renewed every 45 days. It is the first time the House has allowed voting by proxy on the House floor — though it was previously allowed at the committee level until 1995, as ABC News notes.
On Friday, the House also passed a $3 trillion coronavirus relief package by a vote of 208-199, as IJR reported.
The bill includes $500 billion for state governments, as well as another round of stimulus checks for individuals and families.
However, President Donald Trump has said he would veto it should it make it to his desk.

Entering Tuesday night’s date with No. 20 Memphis, offensively-challenged No. 15 Cincinnati had scored more than 80 points in a game just five times.
Their victims? Campbell, Kennesaw State, USC Upstate and Chicago State all lost to the Bearcats before Christmas. Temple, one of the bottom-feeders in the American, managed to score exactly 80 points back in January.
Memphis allowed the Bearcats to put up 97 points.
To be fair, Cincinnati probably would have scored closer to 88 or 90 points if Memphis didn’t continue to foul well into the second half, but that’s not really the point. Cincinnati is not a good offensive team. As a matter of fact, outside of Sean Kilpatrick — who is having an all-american caliber season — they are a bad offensive basketball team. And Memphis still found a way to lose 97-84 to them.
That’s a problem.
Part of the reason is that Mick Cronin has Memphis figured out. The Bearcats were able to get out and run on Memphis, whether it was off of turnover or a missed shot. But that wasn’t the only issue defensively, as Memphis also allowed the Bearcats to find endless driving lanes and put them on the line for 38 free throw attempts. Think about it like this: Cincinnati, who is not a good shooting team, shot 53.3% from the floor, got to the line 38 times, scored 1.37 PPP and committed just three turnovers.
That’s pretty close to perfect.
The good news?
Joe Jackson looks like he’s snapped out of his slump. He finished with 21 points and six assists, hitting his first three-pointer since February 12th. Entering the night, he was 3-for-14 in his last two games.
So maybe there’s a glimmer of a silver lining in an otherwise ugly night.

Algeria is a North African country with a Mediterranean coastline and a Saharan desert interior. Many empires have left legacies here, such as the ancient Roman ruins in seaside Tipaza. In the capital, Algiers, Ottoman landmarks like circa-1612 Ketchaoua Mosque line the hillside Casbah quarter, with its narrow alleys and stairways. The city’s Neo-Byzantine basilica Notre Dame d’Afrique dates to French colonial rule.
Top Places To Visit In Algeria
Some Of The Top Places To Visit In Algeria Are Listed As Under:
The Atakor Plateau is situated in the Ahaggar National Park and is covered with sheer peaks and mountains. The entire area is covered with sands and brown and dry landscape. There is not much transport system available to go to the plateau. There are quite high peaks in the plateau and the place is beautiful in its own majestic terms. The highest peak present there is the Assekrem Plateau which means the ” End of the world” and it rightly justifies the meaning.
With every kind of beautiful architecture present in the amazing city of Oran, it is one of the most lively city in Algeria which is visited by thousands of people every year. The culture and the theme of Oran is grand and it is engulfed by the Rai music which has its originality in the city. The Casbah, Le Theatre and a great number of mosques are present in Oran.
Annaba is famous for the presence of many ruins of villages and temples that were present in the medieval times. Different ports are available in Annaba and it is considered as a natural port. Hippo Regius and other culture forms the main domain of the city.
When you talk of traditions, religion and foods, then Ghardaia is the name that comes to mind. The dress sense of the people in this city is so bright and they try to look their best. Food and accommodation are the best part of this city. Ghardaia is located in the middle of Sahara Desert and is covered by sand from all sides.
From political to cultural to economic era, this city has it all. Constantine is a place of great modern civic sense and it is beautiful in its own special ways. The scenic beauty of the entire area is vastly spread over a huge space. People living here feel an air of fantasy and delight in this amazing city.

I wonder, could you combine all the Path skills into a single Wildcard skill like Magic! I think I asked PK this very question a while back and the answer was: You probably shouldn’t. I went ahead and did it anyways and I can tell you for fact…I really shouldn’t’ve. It wasn’t that it was broken (it was), but it made it even more difficult to differentiate casters – something Ritual Path magic already has issues with. That said, I did toy around with creating a Wildcard! skill for traditions. The following post makes use of the new GURPS Power-Ups 7: Wildcards!, but should be usable even without that book.

Oh the humanity!!!!!!
Scott McKay over at the Hayride is reporting none other than John Alario is thinking about swapping over to Team GOP. The stench that accompanies him is the smell of the River Birch Landfill, the subject of a federal investigation and recent FBI raid. Slabbed readers know that Alario muscled his way into Team Ward’s wallets during the regulatory fight to permit the landfill.
Election time comes again next year and Alario is evidently trying to position himself at the trough for the next term. IMHO discriminating Republicans should join McKay and tell Alario to take his crap someplace else.

THE RIGHT TO BE WRONG IN POLITICS!
Abraham Lincoln was elected President 150 years ago this week. Civil War buffs are looking back to these war years for lessons learned in the current debate over the stagnation of the American political process today. Historians have written over 26, 000 books on this time in history with the premise that there were two Americas-a house divided-back then. Do we find the same two Americas today?
The Tea Party movement has engulfed a Republican Party that now has an agenda of low expectations centered on whatever it takes to beat Obama in 2012. The Democrats, from the President on down, have lost control of the narrative with little vision of passion being offered to the American public. Forty percent of American voters think it’s time for a third party alternative. Continue reading “Jim Brown”

The insurance industry just seems to get demolished by the Wall Street Bankers.
In the American Banker, by Jeff Horwitz
Evidence of abuses and self-dealing in the force-placed insurance industry suggests that there may be far larger problems in how servicers are handling distressed loans than the sloppy document recording that has been the recent focus of industry woes.
Behind banks’ servicing insurance practices lie conflicts of interest that align servicers and their insurer partners against borrowers and investors. Bank of America Corp. owns a force-placed insurance subsidiary, and most other major servicers receive commissions or reinsurance fees on the very same policies they purchase on investors’ and borrowers’ behalf.
