Compared to What: Selected Poems 1971-2003 clearly shows that Laurie Duggan is the most observant of poets. It also illustrates that Duggan’s observations are often very funny. For instance, in the lugubriously comic account of travelling in Northern England, ‘Irwell & Medlock or Darkness Visible’, Duggan notes:
In the paper, a couple, returning,
drunk, from Margate,
fucked in the train.
until they began to smoke afterward.
‘West’, in which the poet is seen spending some time in a Denver hotel featuring a bar called the ‘Stuff’d Shirt Bar’, contains the following deadpan lines:
The prevalence here of cowboy hats.
And the stretching of vowels: ‘The house shar-blee.’
Someone asks for a doggy bag for drinks.
I think I like the west a lot.
One for the room.
The barman answers the phone: ‘Stuffed Shirt?’
Given the terseness of these examples, it is not surprising that Duggan is also a master of the epigram. His free translations of Martial are brilliant and acerbic:
Those about to die young,
the insane, the criminal,
they encourage them all
to write poetry.
As these examples illustrate, Duggan’s observations are often (mock) sociological (‘In America they go to bars to be alone. In England they go home’) or (mock) autobiographical (‘I can tell I’m getting old by the yellowing of books I bought new, two decades back’). They also habitually show a love of cultural allusion (‘Pale lipstick, like Dusty Springfield’). These three examples in parenthesis are from Duggan’s prose-poetry sequence ‘The Minutes’ and show how Duggan’s poems inhabit the particulars of the world: of place, time, perspective, and the impossibly varied nature of the quotidian.
But such variety is not chaotic. Duggan’s particularities are presented in a highly organized way. In short, they are presented as poetry. This is Duggan’s genius: to turn diaristic snippets, references to Miles Davis or John Coltrane, found text, or overheard conversation, into highly organized text. ‘The Minutes’, like Duggan’s open form poems, is presented motivically (and the references to music further underscores this motivic arrangement). It is elliptical, allusive and associative, a kind of music, like a long Coltranesque solo on what would otherwise be the most banal of themes. Duggan’s apparent sociological, autobiographical or cultural interests, then, are expressed in highly aesthetic ways, with an artist’s attention to placement, contrast, colour, and motifs (although they can also be expressed in artfully casual ways, too. Duggan avoids bombast at all times).
As such, Duggan’s poems are inhabited by profoundly oxymoronic energies: mimesis and music; documentation and decoration; objectivity and subjectivity; difficulty and accessibility. Such doubleness can be seen operating in other ways throughout Duggan’s work. For instance, there is the balance between sociological observation and lyrical imagery in ‘Blue Hills 35’, in which we are told that ‘At Poowong, dairy farms / overlook a flat land of chicken roosts’, while ‘maps fail to register a prevalence / round here, of trams / balanced on blocks / in the home paddock’. ‘Blue Hills 25’ begins ‘Cape Woolamai from Kilcunda: / the sky too subtle for a vulgar type / like John Martin....Turner perhaps.... / Sunlight Through a Bespattered Windscreen’. Duggan’s emphasis on the here-and-now demonstrates how the here-and-now is always saturated in associations, history, and meaning.
In his essay ‘What Whole Voice?’ (published in Southerly 57.1 : 22-27) Duggan argues against facile notions of poetic ‘voice’ as a way of understanding a poet’s work. It might be more accurate, then, to talk about the poet ‘Laurie Duggan’ as a way of seeing rather than a voice in the traditional sense. This is apposite given the emphasis in his work on visual art, geography, landscape, weather and visual memory. In some of his later poems the analogy between poetry and visual art becomes explicit. ‘Air time’ (originally from Mangroves, 2003), for instance, begins:
At the mercy
of what I’m given
to work with
in the atmosphere
the city mythologies.
In ‘Little History’ (also originally from Mangroves) the poet asks:
Is sense made simply
through binding together
disjunctives — as though
fragments of pictures
will always make a picture
whatever the source,
weather, texture, opinion.
The emphasis on having to work with what one is given, on the here-and-now, and on effects of light and weather, is not only deeply painterly, but also a source of continuity in Duggan’s work, despite his apparently promiscuous attraction to divergent forms. These forms include epigram, epic, pastoral, verse diary, translation, anatomy, elegy, ekphrasis, and verse autobiography. In many, if not all of these modes, irony has a role (often a major one) to play. For instance, the verse autobiography, ‘Adventures in Paradise’, manages to be both a straight rendition of the poet’s life and a parody of the ‘growth of a poet’s mind’ genre:
Then I’m sitting in a fruit box in the yard
with a dog called Sandy whose bones
I used to share. The place was a guest house
owned by my grandmother. I talked before
I could walk. Crawled up the stairs.
A man called Len Lovell fell off the roof.
The details here, conspicuously disjunctive, suggest a real childhood, but they are also comically at odds with their genre.
However ironic ‘Adventures in Paradise’ might be it shows a major feature of Duggan’s approach to his materials: an emphasis on detail. In many of his other works detail is provided through the use of bricolage. The attraction to found texts, quotation, and allusion is deeply anti-Romantic and Duggan (like many of his peers, such as John Forbes) is profoundly suspicious of post-Romantic claims concerning ‘presence’, ‘voice’ and ‘transcendence’. It is a nice irony, then, that Duggan’s attraction to quotation and found text engenders his most ambitious project, The Ash Range (1987), an ‘epic’ poem about the Gippsland region in South-East Victoria.
This extraordinary work has been republished by Shearsman as a very welcome companion volume to Compared to What. It includes a new introduction by Duggan (replacing Don Watson’s foreword of the first edition) in which the poet discusses the status of his work as a ‘documentary poem’. As this designation suggests, The Ash Range is not obviously poetry. Indeed, as Philip Mead argues in his review-essay of the first edition (in Scripsi 4.4 : 23-40), the ‘documentary poem’, as exemplified in The Ash Range, appears to be ‘a new and solitary category’.
The singularity of the work in an Australian context is most obvious in its use of bricolage, the assemblage of a text through the quotation of other texts (a technique that Duggan used in ‘East’, the first poem that appears in Compared to What). The Ash Range is a history of the Gippsland region made up mostly of quotation (and adaptation) from newspapers, diaries, letters, official reports and histories. As Duggan points out in the introduction, this is unlike anthology in that it presents ‘itself as a cohesive argument where the assembled passages would complicate and develop lines of thought through their placement’. Cohesion is seen especially in Duggan’s revisionist historiography: the attention to the values inherent in the supposedly objective sources of Duggan’s poem. It is also seen in his thematic interest in the oddity of the past and with figures ignored by conventional history.
The Ash Range covers prehistoric to recent times (though it emphasizes the years from colonial settlement to the ‘Ash Wednesday’ fires of 1939). Duggan is attentive to the constructed nature of history, seen, for instance, in his inclusion of four parallel accounts of the same events written by the explorer Angus McMillan. He is also alert to history’s provisionality (as seen in the various spellings of Gippsland). A major achievement of Duggan’s revisionist historiography is his use of the archive itself to revise nationalist, heroic models of the colonial past. For instance, the fiction of ‘White Australia’ is exposed in the following lines:
A Polish Jew
sold a lot of ‘Brummagem’
a.k.a. ‘Carlton’ articles
up and down the Snowy;
the first pioneer of this form of civilization,
although I am informed
there is a sewing machine agent
ahead of me.
As well as alerting us to the radical difference (and oddity) of the past, the revisionist nature of the work also presents the past in quite moving ways. The fragility of the Gippslanders’ tenure on the land is seen in lines such as these: ‘The weather / ending the century / / and the silence / of back blocks’. Many people go mad or die, and Duggan highlights the crimes committed against Aborigines. Women, as Duggan notes in his introduction, are conspicuously silent, which shows a limitation of the kind of sources that Duggan relies upon.
The climax of the work is the account of the Ash Wednesday fires, ‘January 1939’, which shows how textual arrangement can work cinematically to produce suspense. This section is a masterpiece of arrangement, as this use of newspaper headlines suggests:
ALL HEAT RECORDS BROKEN / Max. Temperature,
113 / Only Slight Relief Forecast
Wild Birds Overcome Fear of Man
Three Tons of Dead Fish
Snowy River Never Lower
Ultimately, as Mead suggests, The Ash Range is a kind of elegy. Everything in the book is lost; everyone presented is dead.
The elegiac nature of Duggan’s poetry is not immediately apparent, but it is as important as his interest in bricolage, the quotidian and the visual. It is related to Duggan’s sense of poetry’s fragility, something observable in Duggan’s diaries which are now (marvelously) available at the Australian Literature Resources website. On 18th March, 1979, Duggan writes: ‘My poetry — a life watching curtains flutter — & what kind of story is that?’ (http:/ / www.austlit.com/ a/ duggan/ d3poetry-wars.html). This kind of question appears often in Duggan’s writing, conspicuously so, given the astonishing variety of that writing. It may also be behind Duggan’s six-year hiatus from poetry from 1994-2000 (during which, amongst other things, Duggan wrote his doctoral thesis, which was published in 2001 as Ghost Nation: Imagined Space and Australian Visual Culture 1901-1939).
‘A life watching curtains flutter’ is a characteristically ironic description of an artist ‘At the mercy / of what I’m given / to work with’. But as another entry in Duggan’s diary suggests, the fragility of this method is also strangely akin to the ethnographic imagination. Duggan writes in his diary on 14th February 1995:
It occurs to me, reading James Clifford, that quite a bit of my poetry, like the ‘New England Ode’, is a kind of ethnography: one of a sort which flaunts its subjectivity rather than camouflages it (the ‘on location’ portions of The Ash Range also follow this model). I guess the context of a lot of my work (as it positions itself) is one of ‘notes written to kill time’, making a virtue out of purposelessness (just as the structure of The Ash Range takes ‘music’ rather than ‘history’ as an analogy). (http://www.austlit.com/a/duggan/d7-melb-brisb.html/)
Compared to What is Duggan’s second Selected Poems. Given its English provenance it compares interestingly with the Selected Poems published by the University of Queensland Press in 1996. In Compared to What there are less of the epigrams of Martial, which is a shame, and fewer translations by other poets, but the three that are there (of Soffici) are stunning. There are also fewer parodies of Australian poets (probably in recognition of the international audience). There are a few minor editorial changes. ‘Puppies’, for instance, has become ‘More Dogs’. Instead of the Australian-specific ‘Ornithology’, from Memorials (1996), there are two other sections from that book set in England and the USA. The collection nicely ends with ‘September Song’, from the chapbook published by Michael Brennan’s Vagabond Press, Let’s Get Lost, co-authored by Duggan, Pam Brown and Ken Bolton (the two Australian poets most akin to Duggan in style and technique). There is also, of course, material that appeared after the UQP New and Selected was published, most of which is from the multi-award winning collection Mangroves.
It is hard to fault the Shearsman Selected. One can point to favourite pieces that are missing (such as anything from ‘Sites’ in Mangroves), but, perhaps thanks to Duggan’s attraction to bricolage and the documentary aesthetic, his work can be endlessly rearranged in deeply satisfying ways. Perhaps the most satisfying arrangement would be a Collected Poems (though even here the arrangement would more likely be thematic rather than chronological).
Certainly, Duggan is an endlessly satisfying poet. His refusal of the conventional lyric (and lyric persona) has led to an extraordinary body of work, one in which ideas and intelligence are matched with humour and readability. Compared to What and The Ash Range are essential works for readers of contemporary poetry. They show an aesthetic that is characteristically oxymoronic: authoritative and fragile at once. Amid the immense artfulness of Duggan’s arrangements there are images of the tenuousness of the poetic enterprise. These include the image of the author in ‘Louvres’ as ‘a cursor moving slowly down a page’, the image in ‘The Minutes’ of a ‘Ripple in the silence’, and most of all the image at the end of ‘All Blues’: ‘the pilot light burns in your kitchen / all night long’.
David McCooey has written widely on Australian poetry (including the ‘Contemporary Poetry’ chapter in The Cambridge Companion to Australian Literature). His first book of poems, Blister Pack (Salt), was short-listed for the 2005 Age Book of the Year Awards. He lives in Geelong, Victoria, where he is a senior lecturer at Deakin University.

I think some celebration might be in order. I just checked out the photos I took for this 25 km leg from Cubbys to Cobboboonee Camp on the Great South West Walk last winter. Somehow there’s only a grand total of 20 pictures for the day. That must be some sort of low total world record for me, which means a short post is guaranteed. There’s no point writing a long post with hardly any pictures is there? Oh yeah, I can’t even think of anything funny to write, as I started back at work this week and already my brain has been pummelled by stupidity, which means this post is officially ‘dry’.
Anyway, I guess the main reason for lack of photos was the sameness of the walking. I’d walked this stretch only a week earlier and it’s pretty plain fare of wall-to-wall trees, not to mention the average weather. It was a fairly grim winters day of constant overcast sky and rain sweeping through, which meant my camera was packed away for most of my walking. I guess the Cobboboonee Forest would be more appetising in summer, as it certainly didn’t appeal on a day which I’ve just described.
My walk notes suggested the second day should finish at Cut-Out Camp, but that was only 15 km away, so I was always going to continue on another ten or so to Cobboboonee Camp. It made sense, as there’s not a lot to do in the forest if one arrives at camp nice and early.
So, what happened during the day? Not a lot, but it was always going to be interesting to see how I’d go with the leech-filled forest when wearing leather boots and gaiters compared to my walk with low-cut hiking shoes a week earlier.
I spent the first night being woken by the distant sound of barking dogs and cars, so I found myself up and on the track quite early. Rain at times was constant and especially so when I crossed the Surrey River on Ralphs Bridge.
The one thing I did notice on this bridge was the handrail. Passing through a week earlier the railing was askew after being clobbered by a falling tree.
I was surprised during my revisit to see that it had been fixed. Even though the walk feels quite isolated through the forest, it’s obviously still maintained. I fully expected that handrail to remain broken for months due to my experience of other walks where bridges can remain damaged for years!
I soon left the river behind with the heavy rain still falling…
…and continued along the track finding a pair of sunglasses on the way.
I reached Cut-Out Camp in pretty quick time by my standards. It was only midday and I’d covered the 15 km without much trouble. It was also good timing, as the heaviest rain of the day fell when I’d reached the camp.
All of the GSWW camps have a shelter and this one was especially welcome as I got to eat my lunch in dry comfort. It was whilst sitting down I noticed my one and only leech for the day on my leg and noted it’d been defeated by the gaiters. It was half-way up my leg looking for some skin to attach to and I had a lot of pleasure dispatching it to the ionosphere with a fearsome flick of the finger. If you look to the eastern sky at around 8.30 pm, you should be able to see the leech in low orbit.
Only a week earlier, any time spent stopped, meant my shoes were covered in the blood suckers, but on this occasion it was smooth sailing with the boots on.
Once the heavy rain moved on, I set-off and was soon passing the old car wreck again…
…and then I was into the recovering part of burnt forest.
On the previous occasion, Smuffin and I had blue skies through this section, but it was all a pretty grey for my revisit.
You know what? That’s about it, as I strolled into Cobboboonee Camp at about 3 pm. I was almost tempted to kick on to Fitzroy Camp, but that was another 12 km away and with the early sunset in winter I wasn’t really in the mood for walking with the headlamp on. How easy was this post? No jokes and it’s another entry over in this enormous GSWW saga.
So, it was time to sit back in the shelter and fire up the MSR Reactor stove, which is the most fearsome beast I think I’ve ever used. It’s ability to boil water quickly is amazing and I barely used any gas as a result. Maybe I’ll talk about that at the end of this saga? Why not finish the day with it in its rampaging glory…?

Focus Home Interactive have announced that Dotnod Entertainment’s upcoming game Vampyr has been delayed. The game was originally scheduled for release in November, but has now been pushed back until Spring 2018.
You can view the message from the developers down below..
Delaying the release of a project you hold dear is always a tough decision. However, we believe that meeting a deadline should never compromise quality. We were still convinced just a few weeks ago that we would be able to release Vampyr this year. Unfortunately, a technical issue – now solved – has set our teams’ schedule back at the end of the development.
This delay allows us enough time for all the polishing and balancing phase, much needed for a game of Vampyr‘s scope, with its ambitious, semi-open world, its complex narrative and deep RPG mechanics that give players a real impact on the world.
We want to thank our publisher Focus Home Interactive for giving us the means and time necessary to provide players a memorable experience… especially since so many of you are eagerly waiting for it.

Vialli demanded Italy win 2026 World Cup – Mancini
Gianluca Vialli told Roberto Mancini Italy must triumph at the 2026 World Cup the last twice the two great friends were together.
Former Sampdoria, Juventus and Chelsea striker Vialli died aged 58 last Friday, having been re-diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2021.
Vialli served as head of delegation for the Azzurri until last month, working closely with his long-time friend Mancini – his strike partner during a hugely successful spell at Sampdoria – as they won Euro 2020.
Following Vialli’s passing, Mancini described him as his “little brother” and pledged to dedicate any future successes with Italy to him.
On Tuesday, Mancini revealed Vialli demanded he leads the Azzurri to glory in the United States, Mexico and Canada in three years’ time.
“I went to visit Luca in London in December, and I’ll be honest, I was a little scared,”
“He woke up, we laughed, joked around, we called [former Sampdoria team-mate] Attilio Lombardo on the phone. He told me, ‘I am relaxed, don’t worry’. He was the one trying to raise my spirits.
“Gianluca told me we have to win the World Cup in 2026 and that he’ll be there with us. He certainly will be right there, and we hope to dedicate a great victory to him very soon.”Mancini said during an appearance on RAI 1 show Porta a Porta.

The iPhone 4S has begun shipping to anxious customers in seven countries and most of them are really excited to try Siri voice assistant. Many of our readers wonder whether it would be possible to get Siri on iPhone 4? It just might be possible as a video of Siri working on iPhone 4 has surfaced, promising the fact that in future we might just be able to use Siri on non-iPhone 4S devices.
When Apple announced iPhone 4S at the October 4 media event, most people were disappointed because they had been waiting for a fully redesigned iPhone 5. However as features kept being unveiled, Siri voice assistant was one feature that left all of the attendees as well as those following the event through liveblogs completely awesome. Siri is artificial intelligence at its best. If you give Siri any command from this list, it would do the appropriate task for you. Siri can set your reminders, read back and reply to your emails and messages, enter or edit appointments and meetings in the calendar, search Wikipedia and WolframAlpha, give weather and stock updates as well as a lot more. Its truly magical and most probably the best feature on iPhone 4S.
Well known iOS developer Steven Troughton-Smith has been working in collaboration with the guys over at 9to5mac and has managed to port Siri on iPhone 4. He was able to do this by installing the iPhone 4S Siri as well as SpringBoard files on iPhone 4. Keep in mind that this isn't a fully functional Siri port on iPhone 4 right now, just think of this as the first few steps of a full Siri port. Video embedded below:
As you can see in the video, Siri on iPhone 4 is making not only itself but the whole smartphone painstakingly slow. That's because a specific kind of GPU driver is needed for this to function flawlessly on iPhone 4 and that driver is not located in the iPhone 4S binary cache. Nevertheless Siri on iPhone 4 can recognize voice commands including those given in Dictation view. Apple isn't authenticating commands to its servers from Siri because its running on iPhone 4 hardware, for which it is obviously not intended for.
At this point in time, it has only been proved that Siri can work on iPhone 4 and if it works on that, it can very well work on the iPod touch 4G as well. However its possible the A5 processor plays a major part in making Siri work much more flawlessly but we do know now that the A4 processor is capable enough of handling Siri. Obvious question, why is Apple making Siri exclusive to iPhone 4S? The only logical reason which comes to mind is that if they don't make it exclusive, the iPhone 4S loses out an a major selling point.
For those waiting for a Siri on iPhone 4 port by means of a jailbreak, it was recently reported that it won't be possible in the near future because at this time, porting Siri requires piracy. Some developers are of the view that a tool can be created that can simply transfer Siri from iPhone 4S to other iOS devices, for now we can just wait and see how this pans out. We'll obviously keep you updated.

8:30 AM July 25, 2022
The East of England Tourism Awards 2022-2023 are now open for entries. The Camping, Glamping and Holiday Park of the Year award, sponsored by Next Phase Leisure, recognises camping, glamping, holiday parks, sites and villages providing truly memorable guest experiences and demonstrating excellence across every aspect of the business.
Andrew Hird, general manager at Next Phase Leisure, said camping, glamping and holidays parks represent a significant amount of the available “bed stock” in the east of England, while playing a crucial role in attracting tourists to the region. “In addition, these businesses provide both direct job opportunities through hiring internal personnel and indirectly through their supply chains,” Andrew explained.
He said there’s a lot to gain from entering your business for an East of England Tourism Award. “Entering offers a great opportunity for self-reflection. It encourages you to look critically at your own business to identify strengths and weaknesses, so even if you don’t end up winning the award, you will have gained some useful insights.
“It can also provide additional PR opportunities and give you the chance to gain a competitive edge through achieving an endorsement and trusted logo.”
Andrew said entries can stand out by providing concrete evidence of their ongoing strategic investment and performance improvements. “We are particularly interested in seeing which metrics they use to measure guest experience and how they process and interpret this information to improve their business.”
He added that the award winner will be a business that shares best practice across the wider tourism industry, puts the east of England “top of mind” with potential visitors, and demonstrates excellence across the board.
“Excellence drives high-quality experience, which in turn contributes to increased occupancy, higher visitor numbers, sales, repeat bookings, positive online reviews, and revenues for the wider tourism economy,” Andrew said. “In order to achieve excellence, every cog in the wheel has to shine!”

Germany’s best vineyards are the world’s northernmost – as far north as grapes can be persuaded to ripen. Many vineyards are on land unfit for normal agriculture; if there were no grapes, it would be forest and bare mountains. All things considered, Germany’s chances of producing some of the world’s best white wines might seem slim.

You are told not to mix linen and wool. Good reason for it as well. There is a chemical reaction when you do. Since this is Shabbat, I am not going into a lengthy dissertation on it right now. Simple solution, don't do it. Don't wear a wool suit with a linen shirt, etc.. Since most of our clothing to day is a form of plastic, we have even bigger problems. That crap actually enters our bodies and sticks around for a long, long time.
The Father's word is eternal. We don't have to have the exact reason on His prohibitions. Not if we love Him and believe He has our best interests at heart.
@Haunted55 Yeah well mainly I ask is cause I casually wear 95% of the time is jeans and a cotton shirt. Wouldn't that count as wearing two different fabrics or no?
@david.obrien1345 from everything I have read and looked up, no. Everything, absolutely everything, has a vibration and chemical make up correct? Cotton is not the same as linen. Jeans, even today, have a cotton make up to them. Even the ones with the stretch, they have a cotton base. From what I have seen, cotton is more of a neutral vibration as is silk. The plastics they have added into the garment industry, I haven't found much information on, to be honest. Having worked in the garment producing area for so many years has given me an idea of them though...I cannot say they would be neutral. They are made in a lab from chemicals so there is negative vibrations from them, but not to the extent you would get from mixing linen and wool. From personal experience...I had a suit of 100% wool, pants and jacket, charcoal grey. I also had an ice blue 100% linen shirt that I wore with that suit. Damn I looked good! Lol, but every single time I wore it, I would break out with these raised welts anywhere the wool and the linen touched my body. Not hives either, they didn't itch. After the 5th or 6th time, I finally had to stop wearing the outfit. Long time before I knew we as Yah's people were told not to do it. So you can form your own opinion if you will.
No, jeans are cotton. You are not to mix thread in a fabric. Linen is stronger than cotton, etc... I bet there is a life lesson in dealing with people in this passage...just saying.
@Woodsie “You must obey all my decrees. “Do not mate two different kinds of animals. Do not plant your field with two different kinds of seed. Do not wear clothing woven from two different kinds of thread.
Leviticus 19:19 NLT
Is it an example of being unequally yoked?
Hebrew is a concrete based language so, thinking about it, it does seem that the idea of unequally yoked could be applied to it in some abstract way, yet being unequally yoked would mean more along the lines of unequally yoking up two oxen to try and plow a field. It’s going to be difficult to get straight paths, and will require intensive work and care to produce a good yield of crops.
While that’s the simple view, light doesn’t mix with darkness, righteousness doesn’t mix with sin, and so yes, wool and linen also, attempting to be mixed together into one garment could be viewed as trying to mix light with dark or righteousness with sin And just shouldn’t be done... bad things tend to happen when two things that are not supposed to be intermingled start intermingling. There’s plenty of exa of that in the scripts. Shalom.

How to Open a Locked Drawer in Resident Evil 4 Remake
Unlocking things is part and parcel of any Resident Evil experience, and the Resident Evil 4 (RE4) remake is no exception. There are numerous doors and gates to unlock, and several different ways to unlock them. There are also containers like chests, cupboards, and closets to unlock so as to get at the loot and quest items inside. More specifically, there are exactly eight locked drawers in RE4, and when you find your first one or two of them, you’ll have no way to open them. For example, there’s the Village Square locked drawer that you might find very early on, but you won’t find a key for it until quite a while later. So, what do you need in order to open an RE4 remake locked drawer?
What Key Unlocks RE4 Remake Locked Drawers?
There are eight locked drawers in and around the Village and the Castle in the Resident Evil 4 remake, and also eight Small Keys that will unlock them. While any Small Key will unlock any drawer, each Small Key can only be used once. So, if you want to open all eight locked drawers, you need to find all eight Small Keys. You’ll also need to unlock all of them before you travel to the Island, as there’s no turning back once you pass that point.
Your first opportunity to get a Small Key will be during Chapter 2 when you go to the Valley in search of the hexagon key. The Small Key is in a little case on a shelf in the building under the Hexagonal Emblem. From this point in the RE4 story, you can’t go directly back to the Village Square locked drawer, but you can go back to the Abandoned Factory, which also has a locked drawer. This drawer contains the Elegant Mask treasure, which is worth 5,000 ptas (more if you inlay it with gemstones), and can be sold to the Merchant at his nearby shop.

The much-anticipated Apple event is in full swing, and announcements are pouring like there’s no tomorrow. On stage, Apple VP Greg Joswiak unveiled the latest addition to the iPad family – the 7th generation Apple iPad.
Little in terms of specs was highlighted during the announcement, but we do know that the new iPad comes with a bigger, 10.2-inch Retina Display with 3.5-million pixels. Additionally, the display supports the Apple Pencil, but only the first generation of the accessory.
Under the hood of the 7th generation iPad is an Apple A10 system chip. This is the quad-core silicon – with 2 high-performance and 2 low-power cores in tow – that we first saw with the iPhone 7 in 2016.
Of course, what matters most is what you can do with the new iPad. And Apple did spend a lot of time pointing out how the tablet has been engineered to take full advantage of the new iPadOS and its features.
The new iPad will start at $329 and will ship on September 30. Pre-orders begin today.
This is a developing news story.

Even now, even the strongest luxurious marketplaces are predicted to neat next calendar year, as fascination charges increase and economies slow down, in accordance to Knight Frank. Across the 25 cities, Knight Frank expects prices to increase by an regular of 2% in 2023, revised down from the 2.7% Knight Frank projected 6 months in the past.
The revision indicates that the global wealthy, seemingly immune from inflation and financial slowdowns, are holding off on huge true-estate purchases or turning out to be far more discerning on price tag offered rising curiosity charges.

First off you need to choose a pattern, I would aim for simple to start with..lot less frustration and tears! I have used a pattern out of this book, however there are many books, magazines, downloads etc to choose from...have FUN finding your favorite from what is on offer out there.
Draw out your design on paper...any will do as long as you can SEE what you have drawn!! I have used the copy paper the boys use for drawing on. I have only traced part of the design...because..... I am a smarty pants and am confident enough to move it around..but when you are starting draw the whole thing (x) I use an ordinary pencil..nothing fancy...YES! One of the boys!! Having grandchildren is WONDERFUL for resources!
When you have chosen you design....next choose your fabric! When you first start it is best to go with a plain fabric that you can see through easily...trust me life will be simpler! The books (etc) will tell you what size to cut it...I usually go a bit bigger then you have space to trim to the size you want when finished.
I like to find the centre of my fabric by folding...then gentle iron marks it for me
Notice the fancy ironing surface? YES its a tea towel on the worktop! All mod cons here!
Off to finish the tea, Adam and James are here tonight and we are having fish pie...OK that means throw everything in a pie dish and leave it ...but HEY! That's my style ...and what they expect!! lol

A modern American restaurant located in Beverly Hills. Go to the restaurant at night to light up candles and add spotlight effects, which is very emotional. The waiter is well dressed and has a good attitude. The food is good. Although it is not amazing, it does not have the sense of standardization and cheapness of general chain restaurant food. Lamb chops and desserts are well made. About 80 dollars per capita. Need to book in advance.
We had a really wonderful meal at Spago. The food, drinks and service were excellent. Whenever we are in the Beverly Hills area, we go to Spago for that ''special'' dinner. This is a pricey meal, but well worth it!
Two Michelin stars, the price is still painful but affordable. You must make an appointment on the official website in advance. The date does not seem to be very stressful. The appointment is casual after 1 week. The taste is still very recommended. After all, it is a famous store.
Two Michelin star restaurant. Make reservations on the official website in advance. We booked a seat at 12 noon, a family of four (children 1 and 4 years old). We were late for a while. There were not many people when we arrived. The restaurant was full when we ordered the dishes and served the appetizers. A-5 Japanese Wagyu, I ordered the most expensive Japanese Wagyu steak in the store (Picture 1. Picture 2). The original flavor is very delicious without any black pepper sauce. The taste is soft and tender, with fat and thin, very delicious. Black Bass, my husband ordered the black bass recommended by waiter (Picture 3. Picture 4). I was given all the CD-ROMs by my husband. He also said that this is the best fish he has ever eaten. (He likes sweet taste and sauce It just happens to be a bit sweet) Cheese Pizza, I ordered cheese pizza for the kids. The pizza is average, not much different from the pizza in the better restaurant outside. The two appetizers, Sashimi salad and Agnolotti, conquered us as soon as they were on the table, especially the Italian meat dumplings are very delicious, wrapped in butter, I have never tasted it in other western restaurants (uninformed), I must try. The juice is no different from domestic ones, it's quite fresh and delicious. It is said that there are often Hollywood stars in restaurants, I don’t know a few anyway, and I didn’t see it that day, hahaha
It is worthy of being a two-Michelin star restaurant. The appetizer ordered half a dozen oysters, which was fresh and delicious. The main course was half-cooked lamb chops, without any worry about lamb smelt, the taste was very tender and immediately felt very warm. Compared to the main course, what is even more amazing is the dessert, the soufflé of passionate juice, the freshly baked aroma, sweet and sour, and the various ups and downs of taste buds, good! In addition, the service is also a remarkable first-class level, caring and thoughtful, meticulous and attentive. Finally, this restaurant in Billy Foshan is still the favorite of all stars. The part about the chef can be done.
I came here just to eat wagyu. I specially ordered American wagyu and Japanese wagyu. American wagyu is very rich in juice, but it will be easier to get tired. Japanese wagyu meat is much better than American wagyu. The American wagyu may not be Michelin. The chef himself made it, and the Japanese River should have been made by the Michelin chef himself! Highly recommend Japanese Wagyu

What Were the 11 Missing Words?
Enter the National Security Archive’s Reader Contest!
Washington, DC, September 16, 2011 - For the first time ever, all three major editions of the Pentagon Papers are being made available simultaneously online. The posting today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University (www.nsarchive.org), allows for a unique side-by-side comparison, showing readers exactly what the U.S. government tried to hide for 40 years by means of deletions from the original text.
To make the most of this new resource, the Archive is unveiling a special contest inviting readers to make their own nominations for the infamous "11 words" that some officials tried to keep secret even this year!
Today's posting includes the full texts of the "Gravel" edition entered into Congressional proceedings in 1971 by Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska) and later published by the Beacon Press, the authorized 1971 declassified version issued by the House Armed Services Committee with deletions insisted on by the Nixon administration, and the new 2011 "complete" edition released in June by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
Accompanying the posting is the National Security Archive's invitation for readers to identify their own favorite nominees for the "11 words" that securocrats attempted to delete during the declassification process for the Papers earlier this year, until alert NARA staffers realized those words actually had been declassified back in 1971. Best submissions for the "11 words" -- as judged by National Security Archive experts -- will appear in the Archive's blog, Unredacted, and on the Archive's Facebook page. National Security Archive senior fellow John Prados wrote the introduction and analysis for the posting. Archive analyst Carlos Osorio coordinated the data processing for publication. Archive staff Wendy Valdes and Charlotte Karrlsson-Willis did the input, indexing and cross-referencing, and the Archive's webmaster Michael Evans managed the online publication of the Pentagon Papers.
* * *
With a simple press release on June 8, 2011 the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) announced that five days later the United States Government would declassify and make public the full forty-seven volumes of the set of studies universally known as the “Pentagon Papers.” The studies acquired that name when they were leaked by Daniel Ellsberg, one of the analysts who had worked on them but had subsequently gone into the opposition on U.S. policy in the Vietnam war. The National Security Archive here posts, for the first time anywhere, a combined, comparative, and searchable set of all the major editions of the Pentagon Papers together with a cross-referencing index to all the sets.
As it happens NARA’s release of the Pentagon Papers coincided exactly with the 40th anniversary of the day in 1971 when the leaked documents began to appear in the press, at first the New York Times, but then also the Washington Post and many other news media. The Nixon administration attempted to suppress the leak of the Papers by seeking a prior injunction against their publication from the U.S. Court. It succeeded thereby in making the Pentagon Papers into one of the significant political documents of the 20th Century. The case went to the Supreme Court, which decided against the government in a notable First Amendment decision affirming freedom of the press.
With this background the reader can begin to understand the secrecy issues that swirled around this set of materials. The first point is that the Ellsberg leak involved the disclosure of official documents. The study’s actual title, “United States-Vietnam Relations 1945-1967,” reveals that the contents of the papers concerned the Vietnam policies of Lyndon B. Johnson and previous presidents back to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Second, these were official documents classified at a high level. Those who worked on the Pentagon Papers have affirmed that the materials were classified this way in order to prevent the Johnson White House from discovering that this review was underway, but Nixon officials argued the documents were secret only because they included information whose disclosure damaged the national security of the United States. The administration argued this both in the Pentagon Papers court case and in the subsequent criminal prosecution of Daniel Ellsberg and his confederate, Anthony J. Russo. For forty years from 1971 until 2011 the U.S. Government has continued to take the position that the Pentagon Papers remained secret even though anyone could read them. Repeated efforts to secure the declassification of the Pentagon Papers were denied or ignored.
In the meantime the clamor for access to the Pentagon Papers resulted in the appearance of several editions of the documents. The most widely available and best-known of these versions is The Pentagon Papers as Published by the New York Times, which compiled in one place the series of articles and set of documents that newspaper had published. (Note 1) This edition attracted huge public attention and went through many printings but was flawed in that it represented a very narrow selection among the plethora of materials contained in the original. The Times reporters had distilled the 43 studies of the original to which they had access into a single volume. That version was far surpassed after an Alaska Democrat, Senator Mike Gravel, read the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record. This material was taken by the Beacon Press of Boston and published as a four-volume (2,901 page) set that contained nearly all the material in the actual studies and also added in a series of documents that the original had lacked (this will be called the “Gravel Edition”). (Note 2) Meanwhile the Nixon administration itself had promised to release a set of the Pentagon Papers and it did so through the Armed Services Committee of the House of Representatives. This appeared in twelve volumes, or “books” (6,742 pages), and was published by the U.S. Government Printing Office. (Note 3) This edition (hereafter termed the “HASC edition”) exactly reproduced the original, minus numerous deletions that reflected the Nixon administration’s claims for national security damage framed in its court cases.
As a result of the way the Pentagon Papers surfaced there have always been difficulties in using them. The Times version, widely available, only scratched the surface. Both the Gravel and HASC editions appeared in only a few, or one printing, and were therefore not very accessible to the public. Restricted availability—in many cases limited to good college libraries—kept the full set of materials away from most of the public. The Gravel edition had the virtues of having a straightforward presentation and including Johnson administration documents. The HASC edition’s advantage lay in its much more ample documentation on the presidencies of FDR, Harry Truman, and Dwight D. Eisenhower. On the other hand this version used the pagination of the original Department of Defense compilation, which was confusing and changed almost as often as the studies themselves.
None of the 1971 editions included four volumes of diplomatic accounts of Johnson administration peace feelers to North Vietnam, which Ellsberg had withheld when leaking the rest of the Pentagon Papers. An expurgated set of those studies only became available in 1983. (Note 4) The complete Diplomatic Volumes were finally declassified in 2002. That release resulted in the stunning contradiction that the Diplomatic Volumes of the Pentagon Papers—deemed too sensitive even to leak in 1971—were fully available to the public while the major portion of the review—which has been available to the public ever since 1971—remained secret.
In any case, until now the United States Government has insisted that the Pentagon Papers are secret while those who sought to learn from them have been able to read whatever version they could access, each with its own flaws. The NARA action in releasing the full set of studies, a token of its commitment to major declassification initiatives, permits comprehensive examination of the Pentagon Papers for the first time.
However, readers remain hampered by the confusing organization and structure of the original Department of Defense review. Using the Gravel edition to find material, and then looking it up in the original actually remains a suitable way to proceed. This has been problematical not only because of the confusing pagination in the original but due to the differences in availability of the various editions. Even the new NARA release, although it is online, limits the user to one item at a time because it is organized by file corresponding to study volume.
The National Security Archive has undertaken to make the full Pentagon Papers completely accessible. We have done this by arranging a full-matrix display. This presentation shows each page of the fully declassified NARA version of the Pentagon Papers side-by-side with the corresponding page of the HASC edition and corresponding material from the Gravel set. From this display it is possible to instantly identify the passages deleted by the Nixon administration in 1971, as well as how editors changed material in the original when compiling the Gravel edition. We have excluded the Times version because that consists of the summarizations of authors and only a limited portion of text.
The Archive has also undertaken to make available an Index that permits cross-referencing among the various versions we are displaying—not only the pdf panels but also the page numbers in the printed editions of these works. An introduction to the Index makes clear how it is organized and can be used.
This posting of nearly 20,000 pages has been an enormous undertaking and required the cooperation of many Archive personnel. Information technology and Latin America specialist Carlos Osorio conceptualized and coordinated the data processing for the multi version publication. Analyst Wendy Valdes organized and verified the inputs. Analyst Charlotte Karrlsson-Willis created the Index with assistance from Valdes. Webmaster Michael Evans (also a Latin Americanist) accomplished the final work of getting the page matrix display up on our website.

NARA’s release of the Pentagon Papers was accompanied by a fresh demonstration of inappropriate secrecy policy. In reviewing these documents for declassification, one authority sought to suppress eleven words on one page. What was silly about this exercise was that the “11 Words” were not classified. That is, in effect an agency sought to make secret a passage of the Pentagon Papers that had already been reviewed and declassified by the United States Government in 1971. Since classification is supposed to protect information that can damage the national security of the United States, the idea that the “11 Words” pose a danger to the nation in 2011 after having been in the open for four decades was startling. Calmer heads finally prevailed and the government relented and released the documents with no deletions. But it has not revealed what the “11 Words” actually were.
Needless to say, the “11 Words” episode occasioned a playful guessing game in which people have tried to identify the offending passage. The National Security Archive posted its own set of eleven candidates. Here we would like to extend an invitation to interested readers to send us your own guesses. Accordingly we are sponsoring an “11 Words Contest.” Good candidate passages will be posted as articles in our blog Unredacted and on the Archive’s Facebook page, and the best ones will be incorporated into an Electronic Briefing Book as we proceed. There will be prizes for the best candidate passage and for runners-up.
“11 WORDS” CONTEST RULES
Beginning with the date of this posting we open a contest for readers to nominate their own favorite candidates for the “11 Words” a government agency wanted to suppress in the Pentagon Papers. Readers can examine the side-by-side page display of all the Pentagon Papers content posted here to find items to nominate. All entries must be received by 12:00 Midnight of Friday, November 16, 2011. Entries will be judged by National Security Archive panelists. The Grand Prize winner and Runners-Up will be announced by posting in the blog Unredacted on the National Security Archive website during the week that starts on December 17th.
Prizes: The National Security Archive will award the best Pentagon Papers candidate for deletion a Grand Prize consisting of a set of the available Archive Readers—books on major international issues which include compilations of documents obtained by the Archive along with analysis by Archive experts. In keeping with the “11 Words” theme, in addition to the Grand Prize winner there will be ten Runners-Up. Each of these winners will receive a copy of the book Inside the Pentagon Papers edited by John Prados and Margaret Pratt Porter.
Entries: Enter early and often! There is no limit to the number of candidate passages a reader may submit to the “11 Words” competition. However, entries must follow the format prescribed below. Only one candidate passage may be nominated in any single entry. Multiple entries must be submitted separately. All entries must be in writing, in an email to the Archive (at firstname.lastname@example.org ) or through our Facebook page. Please do not use Twitter, as a proper entry cannot be fitted within the Twitter message format. By submitting an entry the reader agrees in advance to cede to the National Security Archive the right to publish her/his entry in our blog Unredacted, on our Facebook page,and/or in one of our Electronic Briefing Books. The National Security Archive will be solely responsible for the selection of entries that we publish and when they may appear. Entries that are published become finalists in the prize competition but there will be no monetary or other compensation. Those which do not rise to that level will not be circulated. Entries that do not follow the prescribed format will automatically be rejected. When entries do appear in Unredacted or on Facebook, readers should feel free to comment on them just as they do regarding any of our other articles.
Format: All contest submissions must contain the true name and address of the entrant for purposes of the Prize awards. Each entry must contain the following information:
- Quotation: The entrant must pick a specific phrase of the Pentagon Papers, precisely 11 words long, and the phrase nominated must be quoted verbatim in the text, enclosed in quotation marks. The entrant is free to nominate an 11 word passage embedded in a longer sentence—but in that case the full sentence must appear as the quotation and the 11 word phrase must be highlighted in bold. Candidate phrases longer than 11 words are not acceptable.
- Reference: The entry must provide the exact Pentagon Papers page citation for the 11 Words nominee. The page numbers will be found on our side-by-side display or they may be taken from the original published NARA/HASC edition. Page numbers taken from the Gravel or other editions of the Pentagon Papers are not acceptable.
- Eligibility of Phrases: What made the 11 Words controversial was that this exercise was an attempt to make secret anew a text that had been declassified and lay in the public domain since 1971. At that time the declassified version of the Pentagon Papers was the HASC edition. Consequently, to be eligible for nomination a phrase must appear in the HASC edition of the Pentagon Papers. Readers will easily be able to establish whether any given text was published in the HASC edition simply by referring to the side-by-side pages we have displayed in this posting. The eleven phrases already nominated by the Archive (in EBB 350) are not eligible for selection. Any entries that do nominate them will simply be regarded as thoughtful comments on work already done.
- Argumentation: The entry must explain precisely why the reader believes the nominated phrase could be the 11 Words the government wished to suppress. It should also comment on what agency or agencies could expect to profit from such a deletion. The reader’s argument should be clear and concise. It may rely on historical analysis or arguments regarding government secrecy policy, or both, and the reader may weigh the factors in any way she/he wishes. Remember, there is no “right” answer until the U.S. Government reveals which were the real 11 Words. There is no set word count to the length of the reader’s argument, but the Archive reserves the right to exclude entries of excessive length. (For a sample of the kind of argumentation an entry should contain see the candidate phrases nominated by the Archive in EBB 350.)
Judging: All entries will be reviewed by a panel of National Security Archive experts. Our criteria will be the plausibility of a government secrecy claim with respect to each set of 11 Words nominated, along with the substance and quality of the reader’s argument for why a particular phrase must be the real 11 Words. Since there is no “right” answer, everything will depend on the reader’s selections and the quality of her/his argumentation. The Archive has no preconceived notion as to the true identity of the 11 Words. Entries will be judged solely on the basis of the case they make. Inaccurate quotation or source referencing, frivolous argumentation, and failure to incorporate required elements of the format will be grounds for rejection. All decisions of the judges will be final.

Last summer, Barron’s published a tough story last summer on Jim Cramer, concluding that the manic and popular star of CNBC’s Mad Money program did not, for all his bluster to the contrary, beat the broader market with his stock picks.
While the story didn’t make much of a splash at the time, it sparked a quiet but surprisingly fierce feud between the two business-news organizations, one that seems out of proportion to the story that caused it. Within days of publication, for instance, CNBC officials told Barron’s reporters who had appeared as on-air guests for years that their presence was no longer desired.
Ed Finn, Barron’s editor and president, says no one told him so, but he believes CNBC banished his reporters from on-air appearances in response to the disputed August 20 piece, “Shorting Cramer” by senior editor Bill Alpert.
“They stopped putting us on pretty much from the day after that story ran,” Finn says. “We made our assumptions.”
Mike Santoli, the Barron’s reporter and a regular on CNBC’s Squawk Box and other programs, who was the most frequent on-air guest, had no comment....MORE

Spitzer testified on Capitol Hill to a House subcommittee on capital markets that he could slice off the monolines’ large municipal-bond-insurance businesses if they don’t act quickly. He is trying to prevent downgrades of the bond insurers from sharply raising the borrowing costs of municipalities across the country.

Tea Details :: Dragon Phoenix Pearl Tea
Green tea enriched with the fragrance of jasmine flowers has been a favorite since the Sung Dynasty, about 800 years ago. Dragon Phoenix Pearl is an Oolong tea that gets its name from the visual characteristics of the tea bushes "climbing" the hillsides like a dragon coming out of the water.
The green tea is grown in an area in Funding City near the border of the Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. The area is mountainous and is often shrouded in clouds or fog. The tea is picked in April/May and processed by hand by rolling each leaf and a bud into tiny pearl sized balls.
Once rolled, the tea is wrapped in silk mesh and dried by fire to set the form. The tea is then held until August/September when the finest jasmine blossoms are in bloom. The jasmine flowers are picked before noon and set aside until evening when the petals begin to open in the cool night air. Once open, the "marrying" of the jasmine to the tea happens in two applications after which the jasmine petals are removed.
According to analysis done by Chinese researchers, Dragon Phoenix Pearl has a higher concentration of Vitamin C and amino acids than any other tea. This is unquestionably one of the finest jasmines shipped from the port of Fuzhou and it defines luxury. If you are a true tea connoisseur, Dragon Phoenix pearl tea is an experience you can't afford to miss.
Dragon Phoenix pearl is certainly a gourmet tea of obvious distinction. The large, fully intact leaves are of the highest quality and each one has had the personal attention of being hand rolled into the size of a coffee bean.

Although I agree with most of the analysis, I was dismayed at reading the statement about "1936-39, when the country was torn apart by a civil war triggered by Catalan and Basque separatism." (1) The war was triggered by the insurrection of a subset of military officers. (2) There were neither Catalan nor Basque separatists of any import at the time. (The Catalan government 'insurrection' of October 1934, parallel to the insurrection of Asturian miners, had most to do with Left-Right disagreements.) And The Catalan and Basque nationalist parties were cooperating with the legitimate government of the republic all the time by 1936.

Croatia is one of the main hotspots where EDM music takes place these days! Having his roots in Croatia, Pyero is one of Croatia’s most ambitious new production talents in electronic dance music. Starting his career with building beats and bootlegs in his bedroom-studio he created his own style of house-music influenced by releases of David Morales, Rodger Sanchez, Armand Van Helden and later by the dj skills of Bad Boy Bill. His debut single “Olé”, was early supported by major djs like „Chuckie“, „Bingo Players“, „Hook N Sling“, „Alex Kenji“ and „Baggi Begovic“. This success made Pyero quick a spoken name in the EDM scene. Busy in the studio, Pyero fired up “Bura”! Named after the name of the heaviest wind that sweeps across the Balkan area, his second progressive smasher earned also great support by dj’s like „Calvin Harris“, „Gregori Klossman“, „Matisse & Sadko“ or „Jesse Voorn“. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, these impressive production skills are on par with what we’re hearing from some of the biggest acts in the EDM world.
Currently Pyero is working on his next single as well as remixing upcoming single for Alex Kenji on Hotfingers Records and the next single for Jean Elan ft. Cosmo Klein on We Play Records.

I am interested in the effect that environmental oscillations have on changing brain connectivity. I study a disorder called mal de debarquement syndrome (MdDS). MdDS is characterized by a persistent perception of rocking self-motion that occurs after a period of adaptation to rhythmic passive motion, typically from sea travel. My lab studies clinical features of MdDS and the functional imaging biomarkers (fMRI and EEG) of this disorder. We are investigating the use of neuromodulation tools like rTMS and transcranial electrical stimulation to try to treat the symptoms of MdDS.

Despite his young age, Taylor Hall had no problem signing a contract extension that will keep him with the Edmonton Oilers into the next decade.
"I'm only 20 years old. I think [the contract] just shows the commitment that I have here. When they said seven years I didn't blink," Hall said on the Oilers' website Wednesday -- not long after agreeing to a seven-year contract extension worth $42 million. "I'm comfortable being here for that long, and I think by that time, hopefully we're a perennial threat. That's my main goal, and that's my mindset when I signed the deal, is that that's going to happen."
Hall, who still has one year remaining on his entry-level deal, is locked up through the 2019-20 season. He becomes the highest-paid player on the team with an average annual value of $6 million.


Death Penalty Or Life In Prison Cost
The United States is one of the few nations in the world that still uses the death penalty for certain crimes. Many are against capital punishment as it is “barbaric” or against “American values”. Some feel that death penalty acts as a deterrent for certain crimes like murder. It has been a matter of debate in the US as to whether death penalty is better than life imprisonment or vice versa.
Many interpret death penalty as violation of the 8th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which prevents the use of “cruel and unusual punishment”. Whether it is a gas chamber or a firing squad, most feel that it is inhuman to allow state-sanctioned “murder” before a crowd of people.
Some feel that life imprisonment is a more effective deterrent than death penalty. In fact, it is a worse punishment than the latter as a person suffers and feels guilty for decades. Prisoners live an internal environment of violence. The suffering for death penalty is instant.
There are many cases where innocent individuals are put to death. This is because of imperfect justice system where poor defendants are given minimum legal attention and hence, suffer more. Therefore, death penalty should be banned because of the imperfect judicial system.
For supporters of death penalty, the reasons are more practical and concrete. There should be a variety of punishments in order to minimize crime. Death penalty acts as a deterrent in areas where murder, felony and rape are rampant. Moreover, prisoner parole can give criminals more chances to commit crimes.
