Daniel Jason Sudeikis is an American actor, comedian, producer and writer, probably best known for his breakthrough roles in ‘Horrible Bosses’ and ‘Hall Pass’. Sudeikis began his career performing improvisation comedy during the early 90s, working for the ComedySportz organization, later renamed to Comedy City, and iO Chicago, which earned him a position as a writer for ‘Saturday Night Live’.
Jason eventually landed a place among the show’s cast, but many fans might also recognise the brilliant actor for his recurring roles in ‘30 Rock’, ‘Portlandia’, ‘It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’, and ‘The Last Man On Earth’. Since achieving his breakthrough in the film industry, Jason has starred in titles which include ‘Colossal’, ‘Sleeping With Other People’, ‘Drinking Buddies’, ‘Booksmart’, and also did voicing characters for the films ‘Angry Birds’ and ‘Next-Gen’.
His latest success, which not only earned him Primetime Emmy Award nominations but also won him a Golden Globe for the Best Actor in a Comedy Series, is the 2020 released series ‘Ted Lasso’, which he also co-produced.
Born on 18 September 1975, in Fairfax, Virginia, Jason relocated with his family to Overland Park, Kansas, as a child, which he identifies as his hometown. There Jason attended Shawnee Mission West High School, where he played basketball, and later Fort Scott Community College on a basketball scholarship, however, he never finished his tertiary education. Jason’s father, also Daniel Sudeikis, is of Irish and Lithuanian descent, but it’s clear that he inherited his creative talents from his mother’s side – Kathryn Wendt is the sister of veteran actor George Wendt, known for his portrayal of Norm Peterson in ‘Cheers’, and she’s also the granddaughter of photographer Tom Howard.
For those interested in knowing peculiar trivia about the comedian, at a young age Jason was diagnosed with permanent Anosmia, a nasal condition that causes smell blindness in patients, so he has no sense of smell.
Aside from this anomaly, Jason’s childhood seemed mostly average, but during his later years, Sudeikis’ life became more interesting as he pursued a career in improv comedy.
Jason first began performing with a Kansas City, Missouri, organisation now known as Comedy City, eventually moving to Chicago, Illinois, where he studied at the Annoyance Theatre and IO Theatre.
During this time, Jason also performed with Boom Chicago in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and upon his return to the States in early 2000, at the Flamingo casino hotel in Las Vegas. While performing as part of the Second City Las Vegas comedy act, Jason caught the attention of ‘Saturday Night Live’ scouts who offered him a chance to work as a writer for the show.
In 2007, Jason landed a role in ‘30 Rock’, which saw the beginning of his career on screen, and by 2013, Sudeikis’s schedule was too full to continue his performances with ‘SNL’, consequently causing his departure from the show.
Jason began his film career with supporting roles in ‘Watching The Detectives’, ‘Meet Bill’, and several other credits, until making his breakthrough in 2011’s ‘Horrible Bosses’. As they say, the rest just became history, but as the funny man gained more and more attention, Sudeikis’ fans, as well as the tabloids, expressed an increased interest in his love life.

As everyone wondered, who are the lucky ladies Jason won over with his humoristic charm?
Unsurprisingly, Jason has had no shortage of women and romantic partners in his life, and many of them could easily be considered some of the most attractive ladies in Hollywood. This list even includes the likes of Eva Mendes and Olivia Wilde.
While most Sudeikis fans would quickly associate his past love life with Olivia Wilde, many of the comedian’s supporters and followers hardly remember the ‘Downsizing’ actor’s first wife, which is quite a shame. Of course, Jason’s romance with the screenwriter Kay Cannon happened long before he became an iconic figure in Hollywood, and considering the low-key nature of Cannon’s impressive career, it would hardly be a surprise if even Sudeikis’ most dedicated fans didn’t know about his first love.
Kay Cannon is best known for her writing work on ‘30 Rock’ and the ‘Pitch Perfect’ film trilogy, but hasn’t gained much fame and exposure, despite her incredible resume.
In fact, few people familiar with Sudeikis would know Cannon, even if they are familiar with her work. The couple first met back in 1999, while their respective careers were only starting out.
At the time, Jason had returned from Amsterdam and already had a steady job working the Chicago comedy circuit, later performing with the Second City Las Vegas comedy cast, in which Kay also played a part. However, keeping up the comedy act was not in Cannon’s future, and she moved on to become a full-time writer.
While their past relationship might be lesser-known, Jason hasn’t been shy about revealing the details of his first marriage, having confided the truth to several publications, though usually only mentioning how and why things ended between him and Cannon. Some sources suggest that the couple met in Las Vegas, however, it’s a wild assumption, especially when considering that they dated for five years before marrying.
Most of the details are now lost to history, and it’s not known precisely where and when they met, but in June 2004 the couple tied the knot, placing the most accurate time and place of meeting back in Chicago. As it seems, the couple had a tendency to work together, as both eventually ended up on the set of ‘30 Rock’, Jason as one of the actors, and Cannon as a supplementary writer. At first, Jason and Kay had a sweet romance, as many often do, but as Sudeikis revealed to GQ in a candid 2021 interview, their difficulties began quite early. Jason stated that their romance entered troubled waters once he accepted a job with ‘Saturday Night Live’, which prompted their hasty decision of getting hitched the following year.
As he told Lorne Michaels, the executive producer of ‘SNL’ at the time, he had to sacrifice the two things he loved the most to accept the writing vacancy available, namely his comedy acting and his wife. Of course, ‘SNL’ is based in New York, and the sudden relocation caused unnecessary friction in his relationship with Kay. Despite the difficulties, the couple held on for several more years, but sadly the tension eventually took its toll on both of them.
In 2008, the couple separated and by February 2010, their divorce was finalized. After four years of marriage and spending a total of nine years together, their once happy romance came to a bitter end. Although it was clear that Jason loved his wife, his career and it’s future were far too important to sacrifice for the sake of love. In some relationships, compromise just wouldn’t do.
Regardless, both Kay and Sudeikis moved on, and once again found happiness. Kay married fellow screenwriter and producer Eben Rusell, with whom she started a family, while Jason would later become involved in his most publicised relationship, with Olivia Wilde.
Following his divorce from Kay, Jason entered into a short-term relationship with ‘Mad Men’ actress, January Jones. While their relationship seemed like nothing more than a dalliance, the aftermath of their hook-up would long plague both partners. Jason later described it as his first public relationship since gaining prominence in the filming industry, and of course, like many celebrities, Jason valued his privacy.
However, his high-profile fling with Jones ended up in nearly every gossip publication the moment they stepped out together, much to Sudeikis’ dislike. The couple only dated for a couple of months in early 2011, shortly before coming out with Olivia. As some might know, 2011 was also the year that Jones gave birth to her first child, Xander, and since Sudeikis was the only man she was involved with at the time, his followers and the tabloids suspected him of being the father.
To date, Jason has not admitted to being Xander’s father, and Jones, who also valued her privacy, remains reluctant to inform the world about this little detail. Naturally, the tabloids got fired up and published a lot of speculations, and with Jones never revealing who the father is, the media had the freedom to write whatever it pleased.
The number one suspect, however, was and always will be none other than Jason. While most people were concerned about the child and getting to the bottom of the truth, others wondered more about what went wrong between Jones and Sudeikis.
While dating, the couple seemed exclusive and very much in love, which is why their sudden and abrupt split came as a shocking surprise to their fans.
During his interview with GQ in 2021, Sudeikis seemed reluctant to reveal any details about the motivation for their break-up, making many now suspect that Jones could have fooled around. While this might explain why Jason never admitted fatherhood, there is as yet no solid confirmation or evidence to support this. As for the reason why the couple parted ways, there are several theories.
The first, and possibly most likely reason was their respective careers. At the time, Jason’s career was at an all-time high, and the same was true for Jones. According to certain suggestions, the couple’s relationship was strained by long distance and busy schedules. On the other hand, during his GQ interview, Sudeikis referred to the media attention focused on his romance with Jones as a trial by fire.

Although he didn’t openly admit it, it’s possible that the tension caused by their respective fame could have become the cause for their split. As mentioned, Sudeikis values his privacy, and tabloid interference could become too much for a rookie celeb yet to become familiar with the prying eyes and ears of the public. Regardless of their motivation, Jones and Sudeikis proved that they at least parted on amicable terms, when they reunited in 2015.
Both actors starred in the hit series ‘The Last Man On Earth’, and by all accounts, the atmosphere on set was void of any tension. However, everyone still wonders if Jason might be Jone’s secret baby daddy. Truth be told, we might never know.
It Got Wilde
Later that year in 2011, Jason and Olivia became one of the most talked-about couples in Tinseltown, a romance many people can’t stop gushing about. Oddly enough, while their romance was sweet and adorable, the reason most people’s tongues wagged non-stop was that the couple seemed like the unlikeliest pairing to walk the red carpet.
Think about it – one of Hollywood’s funniest men, and an actress best known for some of the most serious roles, which include credits such as ‘House’ and ‘Tron’. Even more so, their personalities on the red carpet hardly seemed pairable, but against all odds, these two attractive, talented actors somehow ended up together. According to most sources, the couple met sometime in mid-2011 during a ‘Saturday Night Live’ wrap-up party; as Wilde would later admit, Sudeikis was so shy when they first met, she simply found him irresistible.
Olivia stated that he hardly spoke, and found it difficult to maintain eye contact. However, both admitted that the chemistry between them was undeniable, and things became wild very quickly. After dating for more than two years, Sudeikis popped the question in January 2013, but as everyone would know, despite their many years of being engaged and sharing children, the couple never got as far as actually tying the knot. Their eldest child, son Otis, was born in April 2014, and their daughter Daisy entered the world in October 2016.
Sadly, after dating for two years and being engaged for seven more, the couple announced their split in November 2020. Since they parted ways, Jason has remained secluded and reserved about the break-up, and it might not only be because of the global lockdown restrictions.
As one could expect, the split had an emotional toll on both partners; since then, Jason confided some details to GQ. Unfortunately, Jason didn’t mention any reason for the break-up, and according to sources close to the couple, there was no dramatic motivation behind the split. Jason only stated that it would take time to heal, and said it was the kind of experience one either makes excuses for, or learns from.
According to an article published by People magazine, the split was amicable, and both partners agreed to commit their best in a co-operative effort at parenting their children. Now, nearly a year since their heart-breaking split, Olivia has moved on with a new partner, namely English singer Harry Styles, and seems to be at a happy place once more.
Hurting But Healing
The latest reports regarding Jason’s love interests suggest that he might be dating English glamour model, Keeley Hazell. According to certain sources, the two met on the set of ‘Ted Lasso’ and have been growing closer together in the past couple of months.
However, the exact nature of their relationship currently seems rather uncertain. The latest reports published in July 2021, suggest that Hazell and Sudeikis are not romantically involved, and have only been spending time together as casual friends.
The two stars of the newest hit series ‘Ted Lasso’, virtually attended the Golden Globes Awards ceremony together, sparking even more rumours of dating. In the meantime, sources close to Sudeikis stated that the comedian has taken a negative stand about Olivia and Styles’ blossoming romance, and has expressed his anger about the couple.
According to this unnamed source, Sudeikis became furious after he learned that Olivia started seeing Harry in October 2020, a month before they publicly announced their split, and was heartbroken about the sad news.
As far as Hazell and Jason’s relationship is concerned, it would be best to wait and see how things develop, but most people believe that nothing serious is in the making between them.
However, other rumours have also surfaced since Harry and Olivia made their public appearance, suggesting that Jason might be warming-up to Russian model Irina Shayk, but this hasn’t been confirmed, and might not be true, as according to the most accurate sources, Irina is enjoying a casual relationship with Kanye West.
The earliest reports regarding Shayk and West surfaced in early June 2021. For now, its best to assume that Jason is embracing his newfound bachelorhood, and although hurting from his failed relationship with Wilde, he is well on his way down the path of healing.
While fans are hoping he might soon move on with a new lady by his side, they are all wishing him nothing but the best in this trying time. Of course, with the latest season of ‘Ted Lasso’ to keep us entertained, it’s clear that Jason makes tickling our funny bones his main priority for the time being, and, naturally, doing his best to be a father to Otis and Daisy.

Yatta! Yatta! Yatta!
“Yatta!”, a Japanese exclamation meaning “We did it!”, is a 2001 parody song by a fictional Japanese band called Green Leaves (はっぱ隊 Happa-tai). The song is a send-up of the boy band craze and is portrayed by some of Japan’s most well-known comedians wearing nothing but underwear with a large green leaf on the front.
The word “yatta” (やった) is short form for “yarimashita” and can also have meanings of “okay!”, “it’s done!”, “ready!”, or “all right!”. It is frequently exclaimed by Hiro Nakamura, the fictional character on the fantasy drama “Heroes”.

Woman dragged to a creek and sexually assaulted
Police are hunting for two men who forced a woman to a creek in Melbourne's east where they sexually assaulted her.
The 40-year-old woman has told police she left a licensed venue at on the Maroondah Highway after becoming separated from her friends around 1.30 on Saturday morning.
She was confronted by two men as she walked along Oban Rd, who dragged her to Mullum Mullum Creek where they sexually assaulted her.
The victim tried to fight off the attackers with a shoe but they only fled when they heard her partner calling out for her.
Knox sex crime detectives are appealing for witnesses and particularly want to speak to a taxi driver and three young men seen in the area around the time of the assault.
The attackers are described as Caucasian, about 185cm tall, one had blonde hair, the other black.
Either way she is a very lucky lady to get through it as well as she did. Let's hope they catch the slime balls sooner rather than later.Gary Thursday 28 February, 2013 - 12:18 AM
Mmmmm, did her partner hear her screams or did he just happen to be looking for her. Lucky eh!Mmmm! Wednesday 27 February, 2013 - 2:36 PM

Ducksch (28) missed “most of the mandatory regeneration measures” on Sunday and did not take part in an important team meeting.
“We can only be successful as a team if everyone sticks to the rules. With the non-nomination, the issue is settled for us, Marvin will then prepare with the team for the game in Freiburg from Thursday,” said Werner.

It is tough to deal with corrupt people because you can never be sure they understand you.
This nation was established in the full face of the idea that power corrupts and, more importantly, that civilized men and women can nevertheless perform to high standards, if they constantly remind themselves of the truth of corruption. It is important to point out corruption, but it is reckless and stupid to give up and call them all whores.
But, Doug was not the only vituperator Wednesday. My Slate was delivered with yet another sophomoric attack on Minority Leader Pelosi, accusing her of being a double agent for the RNC! Slate is produced by the Washington Post Company and Newsweek, in case you had not noticed.
Communication to the populace is tricky business. Often you cannot say exactly what is on your mind and then at other times you cannot say it often enough. In an open society (which ours still is in many respects) one communicates to the public not with a forked tongue, but with multiple purposes. When you say that Bush made a mistake you are telling your operatives to take advantage of that mistake, and you are telling your opponents that they have be uncovered ... all with the same words.
When Bush says that he is "the decider" (re Rumsfeld) he is interpreted by the Democrats as being ego-driven, with a decidedly strange view of his office. What Bush was saying to Republicans ... for whom the stakes have become extremely dicey ... is that he, George, not Dick Cheney, made the decision, despite press commentary that week that the Cheney-Rumsfeld team could not be cracked by George. Whether this was to deceive Republicans or not, that's what it was about.
Democrats are very angry these days while Republicans are very stunned by the endless ineptitude of their party and its standard bearers. Usually what happens in a situation like this is that the people with the self-righteous anger are more apt to act, while the stunned are apt to just let whatever it is happen ... namely, let the Republican Party purge itself naturally (at the polls) of the inept and stupid.
We come to the not very surprising conclusions in all of this that (1) some people are better at communication than others, and (2) that those in the audience receiving the range of political communication they can stomach often misunderstand what they hear and read. Getting it wrong leads, of course, to anger and frustration, to confusion and paralysis, and inevitably to the old saws about the bottomless pit into which all politicians are headed. Yes, it is true that people often give up trying to understand politics because they do not have a real clue how to listen.
Those of you who have bothered to watch the rogues gallery on the front page of the American Liberalism Project website will have noticed that in some respects the gallery is something like the fabled Kremlin Wall. Bill Clinton has not been a member of the gallery since the very early days of the website. Hillary has never been. Biden is gone. John Kerry is about to depart. Barack Obama "finessed" himself right off the wall recently as did the senior Senator from California, whose name eludes me at the moment. Steny Hoyer, the Minority Whip will never get into the group, nor will the foul-mouthed DCCC Chair from Illinois. Each of those people, whom you might expect to see but do not, have committed atrocities against Liberal principles by turning their backs on them or violating them or by inconsistent practices. In a word, they are not leaders.
I bring this up to point out that one cannot measure a man or woman by the deeds of one day. To be political means that you have to attend to a myriad of facts and perceptions every day and be able to condense and distill from these judgments a coherent and consistent response. Most Americans do not have a clue how to do this because they have no idea about their own ideology, the set of principles upon which their politics is based.
A recent outside commenter on an American Liberalism Project essay ranted on at length about the benefits of competition in an economy. Inevitably he got to the position that competition is the anvil of truth and justice, but he did not understand that anvils are just hard objects that require someone to act on them with purpose. The critic's philosophy was impoverished on the subject of "purpose," for he was trapped in a social Darwinist paradigm that promotes the idea of survival of the economic fittest, as if that had anything to do with the intrinsic worth of people! He knew some of the phrases and key words, but he did not understand how his thoughts are arranged in his own head. He does not have an ideology, only slogans and pat dogmas.
Liberals judge their politicians on their promotion of Individual Liberty. They can do this by standing up for people whose liberty is clearly at stake or by using their own liberties to serve as role models.
Liberals judge on politicians Humanity, their promotion of humane treatment for humans and the planet. They are environmentalists, nurturers, creators of programs for those who cannot help themselves.
Liberal politicians must be Progressive and show a strong sense that improvement of our lot is not only possible but mandatory. Key to the progressive spirit is the idea that over time more and more people will attain individual liberties and more and more will be able to take full responsibility for themselves and the planet.

Jordan Bell had to move apartments due to stalker
Jordan Bell learned a tough but valuable lesson during his rookie season, and it had nothing to do with basketball.
The Golden State Warriors rookie shared a photo on his Instagram account in September that was taken from the balcony of his apartment. The view from the balcony tipped off to his followers where he lived, and he developed a stalker as a result.
According to the San Jose Mercury News, Bell ended up moving because of the stalker.
Bell shared a video on his Instagram account another time after moving, but that could have had the unintended effect of revealing his neighborhood. He decided to take that down.
The 23-year-old averaged 4.6 points and 3.6 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per game during the regular season. He hasn’t seen as much playing time in the postseason, but he did score 10 points in 12 minutes in the Warriors’ Game 3 win over the Cavaliers in the Finals. And we know that plenty of figures in the sports world can relate to his stalker experience.

Press statement on the announcement of new minimum wages in Agricultural Sector
2 February 2013
The Food and Allied Workers Union (FAWU), as a responsible union with both experienced and seasoned leadership, as well as democratic structures, has taken into account the needs, interests and demands of our members and farm workers when making a call for the strike action to be called off earlier in January.
After interrogating the situation, and its complexities, we understand the huge responsibility that comes with being the union that has the highest membership in the sector and thus we needed to act carefully. FAWU wants to truly protect its membership and generally all farm workers by ensuring the best outcome is achieved from all the hard earned pressure and attention that was achieved through strike actions.
FAWU leadership has considered the situation facing farm workers, farm owners and government, and the current economic situation facing the agricultural sector and the entire country. Flowing from this assessment we interrogated our on-going demand for a national government to set minimum wage of R150.00 per day for farm workers and, after consultation with members and interested workers, the following was agreed upon.
- The call for a minimum wage of R150.00-a-day by farm workers remains a clarion call supported by FAWU and commanding huge public sympathy.
- As a meaningful step towards obtaining this we call upon Minister Mildred Oliphant, in her announcement on Monday (4th February 2013), to raise the minimum wage by over 50% to no less than R105 per day.
- We call on those farm owners who currently pay more than R105.00 to continue doing so and not to reduce wages to a new minimum.
- We further call upon those successful farm owners who can immediately afford to pay R150 per day or more to do so without delay.
- We call for consumers to support those farmers who pay well or pay R105.00 or more to their workers.
- We also call for an end to general calls to boycott South African agricultural products, but we recognise that selected calls targeted at specific farm owners, bent on victimising workers, remain a weapon to be utilised should it be necessary.
- We call on government, farm owners, retail outlets, exporters and importers to join together with unions and ensure that in the near future the minimum wage of R150 can be paid on all farms.
Meanwhile, we reiterate our call for the Minister of Home Affairs, Ms Naledi Pandoor, to extend or provide a special, even though temporary, dispensation to document farm workers on Western Cape farms and in the Boland in particular. We also want foreign nationals working in the agricultural sector in general to be assisted with documentation and the practice of deporting striking workers to stop.
Additionally, in all sectors but particularly on farms, we demand that the notorious practice of police or immigration officials partnering with farmers by deporting undocumented workers on their pay day, thereby enforcing workers to be unpaid for their labour, to be stopped immediately.
Equally important, we still repeat our calls on farm owners not to victimize all farm workers but allow them back to work and to give access to trade unions to organize these workers and for them, as farm owners, to dialogue with trade unions.
For more information kindly contact Katishi Masemola, General Secretary, at 082 467 2509.

The Story So Far
Sign In to leave a comment


California Gov. Jerry Brown last week signed a bill designed to fix our broken presidential election system and guarantee the White House to the winner of the national popular vote.
Grounded in state powers, the National Popular Vote plan for president commits participating states to award their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It can be activated only after its adoption in states that together have enough electoral votes to guarantee the outcome – meaning states representing at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes.
Story Continued Below
Victory in California marks a major advance toward holding a national popular vote election in 2016. Only five years after the plan’s unveiling, supporters are nearly halfway to their goal of 270 electoral votes — after earlier wins in Hawaii, Maryland, Washington, New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, Illinois and the District of Columbia.
Every other state has already debated the bill. More than 2,100 state legislators have sponsored or voted for it, and several states are now close to passing it.
Past generations of national popular vote advocates proposed constitutional amendments to abolish the Electoral College. But just as states did not need a constitutional amendment to provide a right to vote for president, they can act immediately — because the Constitution gives each state exclusive power over how to allocate its electoral votes.
Today, few states debate different ways of allocating electoral votes. But that has not always been the case. Though 48 of 50 states have passed laws to allocate their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, this so-called “winner-take-all” rule was not the norm in early presidential elections and was typically adopted for narrow partisan, parochial reasons.
The breakdown of fairness in our presidential election demands that states revisit the winner-take-all rule. This allows candidates to win despite losing the national popular vote — which happens in one in seven of our close presidential elections.
Popular vote reversal happened in 2000, when George W. Bush defeated Al Gore; and almost occurred in 2004, when a shift of fewer than 60,000 votes in Ohio would have elected Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), despite Bush’s national popular vote advantage of more than three million votes.
Of even greater concern, however, is how the winner-take-all rule leads major party candidates to devote nearly all their general election resources to a handful of swing states, where neither candidate is hopelessly behind. The trend has become increasingly pronounced in recent elections, with fewer swing states and fewer changes in which states matter.

Noodle shop in New Paltz?
I just heard that a noodle shop called Gomen Kudasai opened in New Paltz. Has anybody tried it?
Our fourth Japanese restaurant in New Paltz is indeed NOT another sushi joint! I had lunch here last week and was pleased. It's located on upper Main Street (between the Thruway and the donwtown) in an open high-ceilinged space shared with an antique dealer. Very relaxed atmosphere. I tried the yaki soba with pork along with tempura shrimp and veg over rice. Clean, honest food with decent quality ingredients and subtle flavors. Highlights: delicious sticky rice, excellent cuke salad, superb iced green tea. Only downside? Only one shrimp in the tempura shrimp and veg dish! Had to arm wrestle my companion! In general, I found Gomen Kudasai to be a very welcome reprieve from the awful east asian fastfood ubiquitous to the Hudson Valley... and a relaxed step away from the sometimes frenetic downtown Paltz dining scene.
I've eaten there several times - lovely interior and great value on the very authentic tasting japanese home style cooking. Most of it new to me and all delicious. Preferred the udon noodle to soba. Hot brothy dishes served in beautiful japanese ceramics. Yaki Udon with pork was delicious as well as seaweed salad and a chicken dish served under "small dishes" that the owner said is coated in sweet potatoes. A welcome addition to the New Paltz dining scene. Location is a little secluded -hope they do well

Building on changes to paid family and medical leave that many states saw beginning in January 2020, July marks new developments as well. Beginning July 1, workers in Washington, D.C. will be able to take paid family and medical leave benefits under the District’s universal paid leave program—a much needed development as the country continues to battle with COVID-19. Also beginning July 1, workers in California will be able to take up to 8 weeks of family leave benefits in a 12-month period. Similarly, workers in New Jersey will see an increase in the amount of family leave benefits that they’ll be able to take.
Today, we honor the millions of men in this country who care for children, and the millions more who provide care for an older family member or sick loved one. For dads and caregivers like Jeffrey everywhere, now more than ever, knowing their rights is critical. For example, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act covers many workers with paid sick leave to care for themselves and their loved ones when affected by the coronavirus, as well as paid family leave for use when a child’s school or place of care is closed.
The FFCRA's groundbreaking paid leave provisions provide essential protections to millions of workers, but a combination of statutory and regulatory exceptions potentially leave out as many as 106 million employees nationwide. For precarious workers who too often fall through the cracks of workplace protections, like temporary, part-time, and domestic workers, the law represents an unprecedented breakthrough with some significant and challenging gaps.
Especially as governments lift stay at home orders, it is important for workers to know their rights. We have released a series of videos from our legal experts to help workers understand their rights when affected by COVID-19, so they will be empowered to exercise them. Please join us in sharing these videos with the hashtag #JusticeForWorkers.
The Metropolitan Council of Nashville, TN recently passed a resolution urging all employers in the city to provide immediate paid sick leave to their workers. The resolution further calls on Governor Bill Lee and the Tennessee General Assembly to restore legal authority for local governments to decide whether to guarantee paid leave within their cities.
In March, Congress passed a new law called the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). Among other emergency protections, the law creates new tax credits for freelancers and other self-employed people to compensate for lost income when you cannot work for certain coronavirus-related reasons. Here’s what freelancers need to know about how to access these credits.
In the midst of COVID-19, pregnant workers and new moms, especially those on the front lines or returning to workplaces as states re-open — deserve more than our gratitude this Mother's Day. They deserve better laws and policies, and, importantly, they need to feel empowered to advocate for their needs and rights. That’s why, day in and day out, we are supporting countless pregnant women and new moms facing uncertainty and fear as the pandemic rages by listening, taking action, and empowering workers to know their rights.
Knowledge is power! Our legal experts have put together three new know-your-rights FAQs for workers who are affected by COVID-19, addressing paid sick leave, pregnancy, and more. We are working to ensure all workers and families have the protections they need under the law, both during this crisis and beyond. If you have questions about your legal rights, contact our free legal helpline.
Working people in the South have some of the fewest legal protections for their health and economic security in the country. For example, Southern workers are less likely to have access to paid leave than those in other regions. While recent federal legislation provides some workers with critical new rights in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, major gaps remain, and Southern lawmakers must act to fill those gaps.
In an open letter released today, A Better Balance, Oxfam, and other labor and health advocacy leaders call on the poultry industry to put into place stronger safety measures and protections for its workers. The recent alarming news that COVID-19 is spreading in poultry plants has highlighted the urgent need for action to ensure the U.S.'s 250,000 poultry workers—who are too often overlooked and undervalued—can stay healthy while supporting themselves and their families and keeping the nation fed.


Workstations at Overclockers UK
A workstation is a powerful and specialised single-user computer that can be used for a variety of highly resource intensive and demanding tasks. They are similar to ordinary personal computers—and can be connected to a local area network (LAN) and run multi-user operating systems—but are built with much higher technical specifications and, crucially, are intended to serve a specific function. Workstations are therefore designed for more technical applications such as scientific and engineering programming and calculation, software development, audio production, and intense graphic design or image and video rendering.
Some common features of workstation computers:
- Large amounts of (EEC) RAM
Error-correcting code memory detects single-bit memory errors, avoiding data corruption and system failure. Workstations can be equipped with as much as 64GB of RAM.
- High performance graphics cards
While low-end PCs tend only to support consumer grade cards, workstations support multiple professional grade graphics cards, yielding significant performance gains.
- RISC (Reduced-instruction-set Computing) microprocessors
Streamlines and accelerates data processing by minimising the amount of instructions stored in the chip.
- Multiple core processors
Computer workstations are configured with more powerful high-end processors than PCs.
- Solid-state drives
SSDs are flash based memory, as opposed to a physical hard disk drive (HDD), and are much faster and more reliable.
Best Uses for Workstations
A computer workstation is a highly specialised machine for a specific purpose, rather than an all-rounder, which must serve that purpose with a high level of reliability and endurance. For this reason, workstations are largely utilised for professional purposes and kept relatively free of the clutter involved with personal usage. In business, science, engineering, and sound design, large amounts of data is handled and downtime or memory errors can be disastrous, so they benefit greatly from the durable hardware and reliable EEC RAM of workstation computers.
Workstations are also particularly well-suited to CAD (computer-aided design) applications such as image and video rendering, and 3D modelling. In addition to the usual benefits of reliability and superior hardware, graphics workstations use graphics cards uniquely designed for the intensity of the calculations required by those tasks. When working on any sort of CAD task, these types of graphics cards will vastly outperform consumer grade ones.
Although computer workstations may be very powerful, this doesn’t necessarily mean they are optimised for gaming. In fact, there is often no great benefit in having more than 4-core processors and 16GB RAM for gaming machines. Similarly, gaming requires graphics cards built on a different sort of algorithm in order to deliver good quality visuals, fast loading, and a fast smooth frame rate.
Why Buy a Computer Workstation?
As with any purchase, this will depend on your individual requirements. An ordinary low-end PC is ideal for day-to-day activities like web browsing, word processing, and light gaming such as Minecraft. However, if you’re a power user with more resource intensive requirements over extended periods, PC workstations are the solution. Although workstation PCs are more expensive than other PCs, it’s important to remember that their specialisation will increase efficiency and productivity, especially for processing and rendering audio, images and video.

On my way to school that morning, I heard a public service announcement on the radio. It was the State Superintendent of Schools imploring parents and teachers to advocate for their students as they progress through their school years.
Back to my story…
If you remember, I entered the In-School Suspension classroom and told the kids I was about to tell them something no public school adult would dare say to a group of students, especially those who had just been suspended from school.
Here is what I told them:
When I was a kid, I never got ready for school thinking I was going there to cause trouble. Even back then I knew I was a pretty messed up kid. My home life wasn’t all that happy as I was being raised by people I didn’t know very well. I did have a few friends at school and I did like some of the teachers. It’s just that I always felt stupid in school and having severe ADHD didn’t help. So, I ended up causing trouble anyway. But, there was also something else…
I don’t know how I knew this, but somehow I had the sense it wasn’t just me being “bad”. Something was wrong with school, itself. At fifteen, I had no way of articulating what it was. Now I do know what it was and what was wrong with school is still wrong with school. I only wish an adult had told me what I am about to tell you because, had I known, that understanding might have changed my behavior and, consequently, how the adults responded to my ongoing frustration.
So, I asked the class, “Have you ever heard of the word ‘Premise’?”
They looked at one another as if someone in the room would know. No one did
I continued, “A ‘premise’ is something you, or a group of people, believe is true. If enough people believe something is true, they will make laws so that everyone has to do what the big group believes they should do. People used to believe that the sun and all the stars and planets revolved around the Earth. You could be punished if you resisted that. We don’t believe that, anymore; but lots of people believe things that aren’t true and you can be punished if you resist believing them.”
I told them the problem comes when what the group believes to be true is not true, yet only a few are willing to acknowledge it. If a person is young and, like I was, already frustrated—or his home-life has made him an angry kid—he may not be able to say what’s wrong. He just knows something is wrong and he can’t help resisting what he is being made to do. If he resists in ways that are not acceptable (his resistance may not be acceptable) he gets into trouble and is punished. He ends up in this room. In I.S.S.
I am going to tell you about three premises, or things schools believe, but which simply are not true. But, even though they aren’t true, these beliefs have become so important that you are required to do them or else the system will either force you or it will punish you. Right now, you are being punished.
So, here are the three things about school I think never have been true:
First: All kids should learn the same things. That is why you have to take two years of a foreign language, four years of science, four years of high school math…You get the picture. These subjects are not electives. Obviously, because adults are older and have some life experiences, they know some of the things kids should learn. What they don’t know is that many of the things they are forcing kids to learn just aren’t the right things for every kid. In other words, some required subjects should actually become electives instead of being required.
The entire class nodded.
Second: If a kid is a certain age, he should be in the same grade along with every other kid his age and they all should be learning what every other kid is learning in that grade. It’s just a fact that if you are younger than most of the other kids in a class, you are considered smart; if you are older than the other kids, you are considered dumb. And, you probably think of yourself as dumb, too. The very idea of putting kids of the same age in the same grade may be useful for schools; but, actually, it is harmful to human beings.
The entire class nodded.
Third: Certain subjects are more important than other subjects. You have to score well in the important ones. Math and Science are important. Music, art, and dance are not so much. It doesn’t matter to anyone if you are musical, are a dancer, or an artist—it doesn’t matter if you flourish in one of these and get all A’s—what matters is that you learn “how to graph the equation of a line written in slope-intercept form”. You have no say in this. The idea that everyone needs to learn to graph the equation of a line written in slope-intercept form is ridiculous. Most high school math teachers know this and some will even admit to it.
The entire class nodded.
At this point, one of the boys spoke up, “I was trying to help my sister who wasn’t understanding what the teacher was teaching and the teacher yelled at me. So, I yelled back at her and called her a name. I used the “f” word. She told me to get out and never come to her class again. So, I’ll be here in I.S.S. the rest of the year.”
The girl who had earlier told me her father is in prison asked, “Mr. C.D., what should we do?”
I wanted to do what the State Superintendent of Schools had asked that morning on the radio. I wanted to advocate for these students. Honestly, I didn’t know how to respond to the girl.
I told the girl that things are beginning to change at the highest levels of education. One day upper-level high school math will be an elective along with many of the other ‘required’ subjects. World-famous educators, and some regular teachers, are beginning to admit that students like yourselves are not being helped by many of the subjects you are being forced to learn. What encourages me is that we all know human beings are individuals and should not be treated as if everyone is the same or that everyone should be learning the same things everyone else is learning. Thinking grownups are beginning to wonder if, perhaps, every child is different and should be given an education that pertains to who they really are.
I reminded the class that we live in a small town and, for our community, changes in education may not come until many years in the future. It might happen for them if they could be homeschooled. But, for many homeschooled kids, no one could tell any difference in what, and how, the kids are learning. They are doing the same thing they would be doing in the public school but are just doing it at home. Only a small percentage of homeschooling parents understand that they should be looking at what the public school is doing and, then, be doing something else.
School is a “system”. Like so many other systems it holds all the cards and makes all the rules. They are only hurting themselves if they continue to struggle against a system that does not have the luxury, nor the inclination, to find out why some students hate school and then change the entire system to make it work for the trouble-makers and misfits.
I told them virtually everyone knows something is wrong with our schools and some are even willing to begin talking about it and demanding changes. But they, as students, don’t have much of a voice so they end up labeled as trouble-makers and misfits because they are frustrated and angry.
I also wanted them to know that teachers are not their enemies. Teachers have a difficult job and many teachers actually understand that what they are teaching isn’t helping young people. Teachers also have families of their own. They may be taking care of sick parents after they leave school. Teaching is a difficult and stressful job and they don’t need students calling them names.
Did any of what I said help these kids? Maybe not. Perhaps just knowing all this could help in some small way.
As I walk down the halls at the beginning of another school day, the kids greet me warmly and ask where I will be substitute teaching that day. I will probably not be in I.S.S.
The way children are educated must change. And, it will. Eventually.
To the homeschooling parents reading this post: You can be a large part of the change. I believe that is one reason God began this Movement in the first place.
In the next post: I will have some personal words for all homeschooling parents and I will also discuss The 2 Tyrannies.

House Bill 1985
Creates an income and ad valorem tax credit for dependent children and opens code sections of 51 additional tax credits for possible amendment
Ways and Means
John Thomas Lamar III, Otis Anthony, and Zakiya Summers
Passed House; transmitted to Senate
On March 27, the House passed HB 1985.
Explanation of the Bill
Income and Ad Valorem Tax Credit for Dependent Children
HB 1985 creates an annual $500 income and ad valorem tax credit for each dependent child living more than half of the taxable year with legally married parents. The bill defines eligible dependent children as
- age 18 and under,
- qualifying as a dependent of the taxpayer on their federal income tax returns, and
- a natural child of both of the legally married parent filers.1
Husbands and wives2 who file separate returns for a taxable year in which they could have filed jointly may each claim half of the allowable tax credit.
To claim the income tax credit, families will need to submit an application to the Department of Revenue (DOR). The application shall require families to
- certify the number of eligible dependent children residing in the taxpayer’s household for more than half of the taxable year, and
- include a notarized statement indicating the parents of the children are legally married.
After families have submitted their application, the DOR has 30 days to allocate credits based on the number of children. The amount of the tax credit is capped at $1,000,000 per year for the state. Many families who qualify for the credit would not be able to take advantage of the credit because of the relatively small amount of tax credits set aside. Additionally, many families will be unable to access this tax credit because of the marital status requirement.
Families are not permitted to carry the credits forward, but they are permitted to use the credit against taxes for the immediately preceding tax year so long as they have not filed an annual return for those taxes.
To claim the ad valorem tax credit, the taxpayer will submit the tax credit documentation provided by the DOR to their local tax collector. The tax collector will apply the tax credit against ad valorem taxes levied on real property.3 The tax collector will then forward the tax credit documentation to the DOR along with the amount of tax credit applied against the payor’s ad valorem taxes. The DOR shall then disburse funds to the tax collector for the amount of the tax credit. This drawn-out process would create additional barriers for taxpayers to access their tax credits. Allowing tax credits against real property would also most benefit middle and upper-income families who are least likely to need additional assistance from the state and would likely have implications for local funds raised for public schools.
It is unclear if families may use the tax credit for both their income and ad valorem taxes or if they can only apply the credits once at their discretion.
Additional Tax Credits
HB 1985 brings forward 51 additional code sections for the possibility of amendment. These code sections authorize various tax credits. It is unclear if, when, or how these code sections will be amended, but they are tax credits for diverse topics, such as
- adoption expenses,
- child and dependent care expenses,
- enterprise zones, and
- reforestation efforts.
1 HB 1985 does not specify the definition of a “natural child.”
2 Please note that the bill uses the term “legally married parents” interchangeably with the term “husband and wife.” The bill would likely apply to all legally married couples with dependent children regardless of the composition of their families.
3 HB 1985 does not specify, but real property is typically Class I property. Class I property is single-family, owner-occupied, residential property.
|On March 25, HB 1985 was referred to the House Ways and Means Committee.
|On March 26, the House Ways and Means Committee passed HB 1985 with a committee substitute.
|On March 27, the House passed HB 1985.

Animal Dynamics, a company formed of biomechanics from the University of Oxford’s Department of Zoology, is looking to break the human-powered water speed record in a canoe propelled by an underwater fin, mimicking the way that dolphins or whales swim.
The team believes that a flapping fin design could be a more efficient than a traditional propeller mechanism, as it works with the natural flow of water, rather than against it.
Instead of using paddles, the catamaran-style canoe has a hydrofoil under its bow which is operated by a driver using a pedaling system. The cycling motion drives a fin downwards through the water, creating the thrust to propel the canoe forwards.
Through studying the oscillation patterns caused by fins, wings and tails of animals, the team of researchers, led by Dr Adrian Thomas, has designed a finely tuned hydrofoil, or fin, to match the natural flow patter of the water passing over it.
Malolo, the prototype craft, has been built and the team will attempt to break the water speed record with it later in 2015.

Bahram – A Special Talent
Undefeated horses hold a reverent mystique. The rarity of such an accomplishment provides a talking point for lively debate among thoroughbred fans. Triple Crown winners do likewise. Bahram was one of the very few to achieve ultimate status in both categories. As a matter of fact, Bahram was never seriously in danger of losing any of the nine races he competed.
Such a lofty career should be revered in turf annuls forever, but I bet many of you do not even know of this exceptional horse. After all, he did his racing eighty years ago. There are not many people around today who can honestly say they saw him run, let alone remember him with vivid detail. Suffice to say we must go by the written words from the days of his racing career, and marvel in retrospect at his superiority. Since the point of this web-site is to honour the greats of the past, omitting a horse such as Bahram would be unkind to his legend.
Bahram was bred in 1932 by the Aga Khan III. The Aga sent his broodmare Friar’s Daughter to the court of Blandford. Friar’s Daughter was a modest winner of one race. She carried three crosses of the immortal sire St. Simon (4x4x3) and comes from the immediate family of Plucky Liege. By the time she produced Bahram, Friar’s Daughter had already produced the very good colt Dastur. Dastur won the Irish Derby, Champion Stakes, Coronation Cup and Sussex Stakes. He also finished second in all three English Triple Crown races. Friar’s Daughter also produced stakes winner Fille De Salut by Sansovino.
The sire of Friar’s Daughter is Friar Marcus. Winner of the Rous Memorial and the Middle Park Stakes, Friar Marcus became a very good source of speed within the pedigrees of some very good runners. He was the champion broodmare sire in 1935, thanks largely to the exceptional year authored by Bahram. Friar Marcus descends in tail male from the important stallion Bona Vista, through the equally important Cyllene, to Cicero.
Blandford, the sire of Bahram, brings in another very important tail male sire line. A son of the influential classic winner Swynford, Blandford continued the line with remarkable efficiency. From limited opportunities, Blandford carved out a prolific stud career. He sired four Epsom Derby winners and many of his sons became world class sires in their own right. The names of Blenheim, Umidwar, Brantome and of course Bahram prove his legacy as an important sire. Blandford was a three times leading sire in England/Ireland.
Blandford was a fragile horse. He overcame an attack of pneumonia as a yearling and was accident prone when in training. Blandford was not what one would call an attractive colt either. He had short forearms, a hollow back and unharmonious lines. Due to his weak constitution, Blandford made only four starts in racing. He did win three of his four races, taking the Prince of Wales Stakes as a three year old. Blandford however became an influential sire when sent to stud, as he was able to pass on some excellent qualities from his own ancestors and not so much of his own deficiencies.
In opposition to his sire, Bahram had exquisite conformation. He stood 16.2 hands when full grown, and possessed a very sociable easy going temperament. Frank Butters was entrusted as his trainer and he described Bahram as a gentle giant. His action was so smooth and effortless, jockey Freddie Fox likened riding him to riding on a cloud. His placid nature however transmitted an air of lethargy when training.
The first race for Bahram came in the National Breeder’s Produce Stakes at Sandown. Likely due to his somewhat indifferent trials, Bahram went to the post as a 20-1 outsider. He powered through the stretch to overtake stable mate Theft by a half length at the finish line. Bahram then won the Rous Memorial a couple of weeks later at Goodwood, but the word was out and he ran as the betting favourite. His lackadaisical tendencies re-emerged in his next start, the Gimcrack Stakes at York. Fox had to really shake him up hard to run past the field and take the two length win.
Butters gave Bahram some let down time to prepare the colt for a pair of autumn stakes events. Bahram was in the start for the Boscawen Stakes at Newmarket, which he won with ease. The Middle Park Stakes was next on the agenda. Back in 1934, this race was considered as one of the most important on the juvenile colt calendar. Bahram didn’t loaf on this occasion as he completely dominated the Newmarket race to win in record time.
With a five for five two year old season, Bahram was named as the highest rated colt for the year. His 133 pounds Free Handicap assessment was testament to the admiration he had earned.
Bahram continued to grow and fill out during the 1934-35 winter and had become an even more impressive equine specimen. He still had his placid personality and he was not much of a worker on the training gallops. Bahram was due to begin his three year old campaign in the April Craven meeting at Newmarket, but Frank Butters was not convinced the colt was ready. Butters had to revert to plan “B” and unleashed his undefeated colt in the 2000 Guineas.
Going off at 7-2 odds, Bahram was barely on the bit as he cruised to win the classic on the famed Rowley Mile course. Stable mate Theft was two lengths back in second place. The Epsom Derby was due in a month, and the press and public were anticipating Bahram to continue his dominant ways.
Heavy rain blanketed the Epsom area on the morning of Derby day in 1935. Despite the challenging weather, a huge throng of racing fans flocked to the downs. Estimated at over 300,000, the fans were treated by Mother Nature and the skies cleared to bring glorious English sunshine to the famous race course. The course was still a bit soft, but in excellent condition. King George V was in attendance, marking his twenty-fifth year as ruling monarch. All had come to see if Bahram could carry his smooth speed to the classic twelve furlongs distance.
The Epsom crowd had complete faith in Bahram and bet him down to 5-4 before the start. Bahram broke slowly, but Fox had him moving with little effort. As the field approached Tattenham Corner, Bahram had glided up to third position. After Tattenham Corner the race was all but over. Bahram accelerated to the lead and went into cruise control for the final furlong. He won by a comfortable two and one half lengths. Taking his second classic victory, the big bay colt stamped his authority on the field.
Bahram came back from his Epsom outing in perfect condition, so Butters entered him in the St. James Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot later in June. Bet down to odds on at 1-8, Bahram again cruised to the front to win. “He barely broke sweat”, was the after race comment from jockey Freddie Fox. Butters was in complete admiration for his unbeaten colt.
As with most supreme champions, a little adversity would intervene in a storybook career. During the summer of 1935, a coughing epidemic gripped many of the training stables in England. The Aga Khan’s stable was not immune to the outbreak. Bahram caught the epidemic and missed some very valuable training due to the infliction. He did recover in time to make history though.
September at Doncaster Race Course means one thing, the tradition of the third jewel in the English Triple Crown. The St. Leger Stakes, run as always at the fourteen furlongs and one hundred and thirty-two yards distance, highlights the meet. Most of the racing faithful came to Doncaster to see if Bahram could become the first Triple Crown winner since Gainsborough.
Gainsborough in 1918, Gay Crusader in 1917 and Pommern in 1915 had all won war time Triple Crowns. Many purists refuse to list the three as legitimate winners of the elusive feat because some of the races were run at race courses other than the traditional Newmarket, Epsom and Doncaster venues. World War 1 took care of the relocation to some of the classics due to the fear of attack. Rock Sand in 1903 was the last winner before Bahram’s year to win the Triple Crown at the traditional locations.
Whether you say he was attempting to become the first since 1918, or the first since 1903, Bahram was poised to accomplish a very rare achievement. He came into the race off his interrupted training schedule, which some thought might be his undoing. To make matters a little more difficult, Freddie Fox suffered a serious injury the day before the St. Leger and had to withdraw as Bahram’s rider. Charlie Smirke, one of the best jockeys in history, was selected to take the reins.
Most of the attendees at Doncaster were in agreement in deciding that Bahram would complete the Triple Crown attempt. Betting him down to 4-11 odds on before the race, the public proved their faith. Bahram did not disappoint. He captured the St. Leger by a commanding five lengths in front of Solar Ray. Smirke later told reporters; “Bahram could have won with twelve stone and two jockeys on his back”.
Bahram was retired from racing and entered stud at Edgerton Stud in Newmarket. He became the first Triple Crown winner since Ormonde in 1886 to retire undefeated. The Aga Khan was so entrance with his champion that he proclaimed him as the “Horse of the Century”. One of London’s big newspapers, the Daily Mail agreed with the Aga Khan. However The Times rated Windsor Lad, another son of Blandford who won the Derby and the St. Leger the year before Bahram to be better horse.
Frank Butters said post career that because of his champion’s laziness, he never really knew how good Bahram could have been. Once retired from racing, Bahram became even more placid and lazy. He acted is if he did not have a care in the world. No one ever saw him aroused to the point of being in a bad mood. It just didn’t happen.
Bahram spent the first five years of his stud career in England. He sired some very good ones such as King George VI’s Big Game. Out of the Tetratema mare Myrobella, Big Game won eight of nine races including the 2000 Guineas and was a powerful colt with an abundance of speed. His only loss came in the war substituted 1942 Derby on the July course at Newmarket, fishing sixth to Watling Street. He later became a leading two year old sire in England/Ireland. He also led the broodmare sire list twice.
Other notable offspring sired by Bahram in England includes Turkhan (Irish Derby, St. Leger Stakes), Queen of Shiraz (Irish Oaks) and Persian Gulf (Coronation Cup). Persian Gulf is the link to one of the best sires in recent breeding today. He is the sire of Tamerlane (St. James Palace Stakes, July Stakes), who in turn sired Dschingis Khan. The latter was bred in Germany and started an influential sire line there, especially through his German Triple Crown winning son Konigsstuhl. Konigsstuhl sired the world elite sire Monsun, keeping the Bahram male line in the forefront of world class breeding.
Late in 1940 the Aga Khan III sold Bahram to an American syndicate headed by Alfred Vanderbilt. Bahram stood at Vanderbilt’s Sagamore Stud in Maryland and at Walter Chrysler’s North Wales Stud in Virginia during his time in the U.S. Bahram did not do well at stud in America, as he did not seem to mix productively with the mare population on offer to him. He did get a couple of descent runners in Stud Poker and Stone Age. His claim to breeding fame in North America is as the dam sire of Canadian Hall of Fame legend He’s A Smoothie.
The syndicate sold Bahram to Argentinean interests in 1945. Bahram stood in Argentina until he passed away at the age of twenty-four in 1956. He did not have success in South America either.
Aside from his misplaced stud career after leaving England, Bahram was a super horse. When he was sold to the U.S. syndicate, British and Irish breeders were furious with the Aga Khan for selling the champion away. They were all ready annoyed when the Aga sold both Blenheim and that one’s son Mahmoud to America, but now another of the Blandford line stallions was leaving.
Both Blenheim and Mahmoud were huge successes in American breeding, but Bahram failed. It is a curious twist of fate that the best runner of the three did not mesh well with the mare population in America. Bahram seemed to be doing well enough in England and Ireland however. Blenheim and Mahmoud had their stud careers take off after they relocated to the colonies. Breeding can be so unpredictable.
Take nothing away from Bahram as a runner of superior quality and class. An undefeated Triple Crown champion is the rarest of all thoroughbreds in any racing jurisdiction, in any era. Bahram was never fully tested in a race. He was a lovely animal in both ability and temperament. He was beautiful to look at with a flawless conformation and a gleaming bay coat with a white star on his forehead.
Bahram had it all, looks, ability, manners and class, oodles of class. It would have been a special treat to have watched this incredible equine athlete perform. I am sure that anyone who did see him never forgot him. Future generations of race fans should not forget him either.

About this book
The last decade has seen dramatic progress in the development of devices for producing mu1ticharged ions. Indeed it is now pos sible to produce any charge state of any ion right up through 92 fully-stripped uranium (U +). Equally dramatic progress has been achieved in the energy range of the available ions. As an example, fully-stripped neon ions have been produced in useable quantities with kinetic energies ranging from a few ev to more than 20 Gev. Interest in the atomic physics of multicharged ions has grown apace. In the fusion program, the spectra of these ions is an im portant diagnostic tool. Moreover the presence of mu1ticharged ions presents a serious energy loss mechanism in fusion devices. This fact has motivated a program to study the collision mech anisms involved. In another area, mu1ticharged ions are present in the solar corona and the interstellar medium and knowledge of their collision properties and spectra is essential to understand ing the astrophysics. Other possible applications are to x-ray lasers and heavy ion inertial fusion. On a more fundamental level, new possibilities for testing quantum electrodynamics with mu1ti charged ions have emerged.

For a type designer, the release of a font is a very heady moment. After hundreds of hours of work, carefully fine-tuning each curve and kern, he releases his baby into the wild, to be grabbed and used by graphic designers at any skill level. At that moment, he relinquishes all control of his creation. It will be stretched, squashed, beveled, mechanically obliqued, and adorned with ill-advised strokes, filters, and drop shadows. It will likely be used to advertise products or ideas the type designer deplores.
That’s why nothing can bring a type designer more joy, once his font is released, than to see it used well. Even more exciting is to see it used in ways he never expected.
I can imagine Stefan Hattenbach beaming with such joy last month when he saw his typeface on TV. With their delicious ads for Carte D’Or, McCann Erickson has made Stefan’s Oxtail the spokesfont for specialty ice cream. Concurrently, nothing could be a better promotion for the font itself. See one of the spots below — and more at Stefan’s foundry site, MAC Rhino.

Thanks a bunch for mention this story. And yes I’m very happy with the execution of course. Btw for those who wonder… the other film on my site, is to be found in the news section.
Wow, what a great spot. Type-centric and very, very well matched.
I’m going to go eat chocolate ice cream and flip through specimen books now. Nice type, Stefan.
What Macintosh applications would be best used to create stunning motion-graphics Type-treatments like that? I am working on a a project that requires some elegant, subtle movement and precise placement of text in conjuction with music and video and I can’t seem to find a sophisticated solution.
I used to use Adobe After Effects for that kind of thing. Not sure if it’s still the standard (it’s been about 4 years since I did any kinetic type).
I think that Motion might be what you are looking for.
I have a feeling that both of those programs are probably similarly great! Thank you. I have tried After Effects (both v3 and a demo 6.5) and although I am an Adobe-junkie, cannot seem to figure out how to use it. Therefore, I am going to try and find a demo copy of Motion and try my luck at that.
Thanks. Any other suggestions would be great… oh, and I forgot to comment: Oxtail is a WONDERFULLY delicious typeface, BTW.
There’s a trial version of Motion available for download here:
The app works best with a very high-end graphics card, as it really works that GPU. It doesn’t hurt to have a fast CPU and lots of RAM either.

At some time or another (or another, and another) we get the dreaded food-borne illness. Stomach aches and yes diarrhea. There are many different culprits from bacteria to viruses to parasites. Scientists have developed a way of killing some of these agents on foods using nothing more than super-charged water. The process uses water nanodroplets that pass through an electric field and become charged. These charged water nanodroplets then are able to help kill bacteria. The team tested the system with some food-borne illness causing agents on both foods and cutting boards.
