Dirty Honey had no label and had never released a full-length - but that didn’t stop them from making rock history. In early 2019, the Los Angeles band self-released their self-titled EP, which contained the powerhouse, classic-rock-inspired single When I’m Gone. And in October, Billboard announced that the track hit Number 1 on the Mainstream Rock Songs Chart - the first time that’s ever been achieved by an unsigned band.
The accomplishment was the culmination of a whirlwind couple of years for Dirty Honey, whose music channels the heavy '70s-era rock of Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith. Since 2017, the quartet signed on with a big-time management team, recorded with a hotshot producer in Australia and landed coveted spots opening for Slash, The Who, Alter Bridge and Guns N’ Roses.
“It’s a dream come true,” says guitarist John Notto. “The response at every level of show we’ve played has been that we’re winning people over... Enthusiastically, people are like thanking us for doing what we’re doing.”
For Notto, the road to Dirty Honey’s rock revival began when he was a kid growing up in the '90s in “the middle of nowhere” Maine. After discovering his mother’s vinyl collection - which included vintage hits like Led Zeppelin II and the Allman Brothers Band’s Eat a Peach - Notto would obsessively air-guitar to the music on his mom’s stringless ukulele.
He soon acquired a knock-off Tele (a gift from “this old stoner dude” that worked with his father), and later, around age eight, a knock-off Stratocaster. The Strat got him through high school and into his freshman year studying music at the University of Southern Maine. While college was a great escape from small-town life, and helped hone his ear, Notto knew the path of an academic wasn’t for him.
“I was never going to be a jazzer… or a teacher,” he says, laughing. “No backups! Victory or death!”
After graduation, he headed to Los Angeles and dove headfirst into the music scene. Notto, who at this point upgraded to Gibson Les Pauls, gigged with rock, R&B and pop bands, before connecting with singer Marc Labelle over a shared love of classic rock.
After recruiting bassist Justin Smolian and drummer Corey Coverstone to fill out Dirty Honey’s ranks, things took off in 2017. They caught the attention of Red Light Management, who connected them with producer Nick DiDia (Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam) and the band traveled to Byron Bay, Australia, to record their raucous debut EP and the history-making When I’m Gone.

Kodak film factory tours.
This month the American film company announced two tour dates which are still available for booking. As of this writing, you can sign up for either September 12th or December 5th excursions in Rochester.
They will not be cheap. Costing three hundred dollars, the tickets will cover guided access to Kodak Vision Center, film base manufacturing, film sensitizing and film finishing facilities. You will also get to have lunch at George Eastman’s office.
The announcement received mixed responses on social media. Some people voiced excitement about the opportunity, others criticized the steep price point. Considering that $300 is comparable in cost to a typical helicopter tour, I’d say that the Kodak factory visit holds its value. There are no other film-producing facilities in the world operating at this capacity. And there’s likely more photographic history and science to be witnessed at that plant than anywhere else.
Silberra team lets its backers down.
The Saint Petersburg film production company launched their IndieGoGo effort in 2017. Unfortunately, the campaign failed to generate substantial funding, having collected only 30% of the goal’s value.
Two years later, Silberra made some progress, delivering a portion of the rewards. Unfortunately I, along with a few others, never received the film.
The latest surprise came in the form of an email announcement. A photography store began selling the film owed to the backers. I was later told that it is available worldwide. Just not to the people who funded its production.
I reached out to Konstantin earlier this week for comments. No response. There were no campaign announcements from Silberra on their IndieGoGo page since Dec 23rd, 2018.
It’s unfortunate that the creators of the film that looks rather good aren’t able or willing to adequately manage their backers’ contributions.
IndieGoGo’s relaxed funding schedule allowed/forced Silberra to take a 70% cut from their expected amount and incur additional fees. Their end balance robbed them of volume discounts on materials. An expense that Silberra decided to quietly dump onto their early supporters.
Lomography will begin shipping a brand new colour emulsion in 2020.
While there are no guarantees in the world of crowdfunding, as demonstrated by Silberra’s example, Lomography belongs to a different league. Having successfully delivered on all ten campaigns they ran, they are a safe bet.
Lomography’s final amount, however, is unfairly short of Yashica’s near three million for an awful, awful camera. This may be a sign of the declining trust as we begin to wake up to the realization that building anything worthwhile is insanely difficult.
I choose to focus on my excitement about testing my new colour emulsion in the first quarter of 2020. 🥳
Security vulnerabilities in Canon DSLRs.
A security flaw in the software that powers new Canon cameras has been recently discovered and rectified. The bug would allow hackers to take control over the camera and extort payments, amongst other things.
I think it’s important to understand that anything that’s powered by software is at risk of being tampered with. However unlikely it may seem.
Facebook is embedding tracking data inside photos you download.
And then there are cases when your software comes pre-tampered.
A cybersecurity engineer has recently shared a tweet where he highlighted an “IPTC special instruction” embedded in the image downloaded from Facebook. Apparently, this has been known for over four years and there are no answers as to what those “instructions” trigger.
Luckily, there’s a tool that can help you disarm Facebook’s mystery ware. Alternatively, you can convert your downloads to .bmp files and then back to .jpg to get rid of the “trash.”
A few more reads.
The new season of Stranger Things, a popular Netflix show, has got one of its younger viewers puzzled. Having never experienced the analogue printing process, they posted a question online:
In Stranger Things, we frequently see Jonathan go inside this to ‘refine’ his photos or something. I don't quite understand what happens here. He puts the photo in water, and somehow this makes it more clear? An example is in the first season when he refines Barbara's photo and sees a little bit of the Demogorgon. Is this an old film technique, and if so, what is it called?
The man who took 1 million photos is a piece on BBC Culture about the Garry Winogrand: Colour exhibition in Brooklyn, NY. It’s an overview of the photographer’s professional life and well-written praise to the work of the curators. The event is on until December 6th.
Tough Lessons From a Portfolio Review is a short read by a beginner photographer looking to find her way in the art world. I think her insights and experience are widely applicable.

Frustratingly enough, for the Ruger 22/45 this is not the case. The design of the bolt stop forces the shooter to press on the slide release to load the first round.

UFC 135 Post-Fight Press Conference: Jon Jones accepts the torch from Rampage JacksonPosted on September 25, 2011, 05:48 AM by Anton Gurevich
UFC 135 combats shared thoughts about their performances inside the Octagon at PEPSI Center in Denver, Colorado. The event was headlined by Jon Jones' triumph over Quinton "Rampage" Jackson via a Rear Naked Choke submission in Round 4. In the co-main event, fan-favorite (or not) Josh Koscheck TKO'd the UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes to successfully bounce back from the disappointing performance against Georges St. Pierre at UFC 124.
Here's what the fighters, and of course the UFC President Dana White had to say at the press conference:

The sustainable problems of transportation have become noticeable in the majority of cities worldwide. Many researchers are devoted themselves into traffic congestion. Generally, traffic congestion could be alleviated via increasing road capacity (supply) or reducing traffic (demand). In this paper, we model CNDP which has a tradable credit scheme and equity constraints in order to research on the way of releasing congestion by combining increasing supply and reducing demand. Firstly, the bilevel programming problem is proposed to model the CNDP with a tradable credit scheme. The upper level (the government) chooses optimal capacity enhancement for some existing links to minimize the total system costs under a budget constraint. The lower level chooses the optimal route based on considering the generalized travel cost in which both travel time and credit charging for using the link are involved. And then, considering the inequity problem in terms of equilibrium O–D travel cost and link travel time, the model is proposed by incorporating equity constraints into CNDP with a tradable credit scheme. After presenting a relaxation algorithm, the experiments on Sioux Falls network are illustrated. Finally, conclusion and some future research directions are presented.

The region of Ilirska Bistrica boasts millennia of rich history. Remnants of past times, from cyclopean walls built by mysterious Illyrian tribes to the striking modernist monument on the Freedom Hill, tell stories of this rather remote, pristine and unique part of Europe waiting for you to explore it.
The fascinating cultural heritage of Ilirska Bistrica and the villages around it leaves no soul untouched. The renowned Škoromati masks dance and wreak havoc during Shrovetide carnivals, driving away the gloomy Winter and ushering in Spring. Famous poets like Dragotin Kette composed their elegies here and artists expressed themselves capturing the unique atmosphere of the place. Mighty castles and magnificent mansions dot the landscape, and on every other hill there is a church with astonishing frescoes painted by masters from the early Gothic times and up to the modernist Tone Kralj. Fortresses bear witness to the Great War on Volovja Reber, brave warriors from Russia repose deep in the forest and a partisan hospital from World War II still hides in a secluded valley. Walking through the woods above the town and further north by the village of Šembije, you will stumble upon ancient walls of Illyrian hillforts and settlements. When emperor Augustus defeated the Illyrians, Romans marked their presence in the Reka Valley. On the undulating hills of Brkini, the villages are as though they were taken straight from the medieval times – the visitors of the Prem Castle can even experience a greeting by the Duke and his lovely Duchess.
Welcome to the heart of history – welcome in Ilirska Bistrica.

A bird named 4BBRW has reached Australia from Alaska by flying continuously for a record 239 hours covering a distance of 13 thousand kilometres all alone. It is also called Jet Fighter Bird for its speciality to fly at high speed similar to the jet plane. The bird started its journey on September 17, flew continuously for 239 hours and reached Australia on September 27.
According to reports, 4BBRW, also called Godwit, had travelled from Alaska to New Zealand last year. But this time, it has broken its own previous record.
The weight of this bird is said to be around 400 grams. It eats insects fiercely, which eliminates the hunger factor during the journey. The shape of this bird resembles a Jet, the reason people refer to it by that name.
The bird’s shape helps it fly at a high speed. This species of Godwit is found only in Alaska but they migrate to New Zealand and Australia in summers. These birds generally live for 22 years.
At present, this bird has also taken flight from Australia and is passing over the Tasman Sea. Last year, Godwit also broke the 13-year-old record of another bird that covered a distance of 7500 kilometres.
Several birds migrate to different places across the world. Usually, these birds fly in a group and sometimes alone.

Moves to create a museum in a 17th century building in Marske's High Street are taking shape.
In his will the late Jack Anderson left the Grade II listed building at 162 High Street, known as Winkies Castle, to the local community.
There has been local support for a new museum to be created. The building contains historic artefacts, documents and photographs from Marske's past.
Paul Kirkham, Director of Neighbourhood Services, reports to Tuesday's meeting of Redcar and Cleveland Council's Executive that the legal transfer of the property to the council is nearing completion.
"A community group of interested individuals and organisations will be formed under the auspices of the Cleveland Buildings Preservation Trust to support the council in its operation of the museum," says Mr Kirkham.


INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis woman is shot and killed by a security guard on Indy’s northeast side.
The homicide took place near 42nd and Post, at a property that has seen lots of violence in recent years.
The deadly shooting marked the 4th homicide at the Towne and Terrace complex in just two months.
One witness who saw her friend get killed wants the security guard who allegedly pulled the trigger overnight held accountable.
The shooting took place just after midnight on Brentwood drive. A witness claims a security guard shot a woman sitting in the front seat of her car.
“He never said to get out of the car, put your hands up or freeze. He flashed a light and shot into the car,” said Liberty Carnell.
Carnell claims she was in the back seat when her friend, Naytasia Williams, got shot in the chest.
“That’s literally the only friend I got and I’ll never be able to talk to her anymore, “ said Carnell.
Following the shooting, the security guard’s car was lit on fire. Police confirm that guard was not associated with law enforcement. In fact the suspect had previously been charged with impersonating police, leading some to wonder why he was allowed to work security.
“He was here on his own recognizance. He pulled his gun and unloaded rounds into her vehicle on his own recognizance. He shouldn’t have been here. He had no place here,” said Dakarai Vonn.
Back in June Zyair Herron was shot to death in the same complex, followed a week later by another killing that claimed the life of Ronald Morris and in July Shawn Hicks was gunned down also on Brentwood.
In the last 3 years, at least 8 homicides have taken place in the half-vacant Towne and Terrace complex. That’s why some community leaders have repeatedly called for the property to be demolished.
“It’s a magnet for criminal activity and I still believe it needs to be torn down,” said reverend Charles Harrison with Indy Ten Point.
On Friday armed members of the Black Panther party gathered at the scene where candles spelled out the victim’s name and calls for justice were made.
“He just murdered somebody I talk to everyday for no reason at all,” said Carnell.
The city and the home owners have been locked in a legal fight since 2013. The city acquired nearly 100 units as part of a long term demolition plan, but that plan was put on hold by a court order.

Energy Service company Geneco has emerged from its Chapter 11 restructuring, according to Dynegy Inc. and Illinois Power Generating Company.
This news comes after Geneco successfully finished its plan of reorganization, which was approved by the Southern District of Texas Bankruptcy Court in January.
The two-month reorganization plan eliminated $825 million of unsecured Geneco bonds, provided eligible Geneco bondholders their share of the company — approximately $87.1 million of cash, provided non-eligible bondholders their share — approximately $17.1 million of cash, and situated the Geneco plants in a better position so they can move forward.
Dynegy released a statement saying all statements on the matter are intended as “forward-looking statements, specifically concerning the benefits of Geneco’s restructuring."

“Discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations is contained in Dynegy’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC),” Dynegy said in a news release. “Any or all of Dynegy’s forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Dynegy’s control.”

Stratégies thérapeutiques pour le traitement des gliomes [Therapeutic strategies for the management of gliomas]
Publication types: English Abstract ; Journal Article ; Review - Publication Status: ppublish
The management of gliomas remains challenging and requires a multidisciplinary approach that involves neurosurgeons, radiation therapists and oncologists. For patients with glioblastomas, progress has been made in recent years with the introduction of a combined modality treatment associating radiation therapy and concomitant chemotherapy with the novel alkylating agent temozolomide. This combination resulted in a significant prolongation of survival and increase in the number of patients with survival well beyond two years. Since then, interest in developing new agents in this disease has dramatically increased. In parallel, molecular markers, such as methylation status of MGMT or identification of the translocation of 1p and 19q in oligodendrogliomas have allowed to identify distinct subtypes with exquisite response to treatment or different prognosis. These developments have implications for the development of clinical trials of new potential drug treatments. In this article, we provide a review of the current management of low- and high-grade gliomas, including astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas and glioblastomas and provide an outlook into future potential therapies.

Liquid metal discovery paves way for shape-shifting robots
It may look like nothing more than a small ball of metal, but the shape-shifting and self-propulsion abilities of a liquid metal alloy discovered by scientists at China's Tsinghua University has captured the imaginations of scientists and science-fiction fans across the world.
Professor Liu Jing and his team have created what they believe could prove the first step toward developing a robot similar to the infamous T-1000 shape-shifting, liquid metal assassin from the Terminator movies.
"The soft machine looks rather intelligent and [can] deform itself according to the space it voyages in, just like [the] Terminator does from the science-fiction film,"professor Liu told New Scientist.
The device is made from a drop of metal alloy consisting mostly of gallium, which is a liquid at just under 30 degrees Celsius. Last year they discovered that an applied electrical current causes the gallium alloy to drastically alter its shape. Changing the voltage applied to the metal allowed it to 'shape-shift' into different formations. When the current was switched off, the metal returned to its original drop shape.
But the team made their biggest breakthrough when they realized that bringing it into contact with a flake of aluminum caused a reaction creating hydrogen bubbles that allowed it to move of its own accord. Liu said it was able to 'fuel' itself for about an hour.
Here is what the process looks like:
Aluminum merges with the droplet of mostly gallium:
The reaction creates bubbles that help propel the droplet forward:
When electric volts are added the droplet changes shape. When the electricity is removed, the material reverts back into its original form:
"The machine has two processes. One is to create gases like hydrogen. Part of these gases form the propulsion. There's also something important, in fact very important, which is the electricity generated behind the alloy. So this galvanic battery creates an internal electrical power, and this type of electricity will very easily lead to stretching of the surface of the liquid metal in an asymmetrical pattern, and this pattern leads to rotations inside the liquid metal, and the process of these rotations will set the liquid metal in motion in a certain direction," he said.
While the scientists are still learning more about the properties of the metal, Liu believes it could have a variety of medical applications, for example delivering medicine in blood vessels.
"At present it has potential to become a robot, but a robot for the veins. So apart from a robot for the veins it could for example [be used in] people's windpipes and digestive system, it may perhaps be able to carry out some medical tasks, for example transporting some medicines," he said, adding that scientists would of course first have to ensure that there would be no side-effects to ingesting the metal.
As for comparisons to the deadly machine in the Terminator movies, Liu said that while the thought of his discovery bearing resemblance to the T-1000 did make him chuckle, he hoped that his robot would work for the good of mankind.
"Perhaps people think it's like the Terminator but I think to a certain extent the Terminator's not very good, he wasn't good for mankind. So we hope that if in the future we can really make a soft robot, we hope that it can be a more human-like robot," he said.

Glossary -- Ebonising; Ebonised
(During the 19th century, the spelling is with "s", rather than "z". Also, in "Google Books Search", the term, "Ebony Stains" yield more hits.)
Staining furniture or other wood objects to resemble ebony. The process of producing a finish that resembles the wood, ebony, by dying and/or staining and polishing. As part of a decorative art practice, ebonizing furniture originated in the 16th century, but only in the 19th century did the practice become popular -- especially from 1875-1885, during the period of the so-called Aesthetic movement -- in Britain and America.
Source: John Barrow, et al, Dictionarium polygraphicum, or, The whole body of arts regularly digested : containing the arts of designing, drawing, painting ... adorned with proper sculptures, curiously engraven on more than fifty copper plates. London : Printed for C. Hitch and C. Davis in Paternoster Row, and S. Austen in St. Paul's ChurchYard, 1735, [no pagination].
From Barrow's Dictionarium Polygraphicum , 1758:-- see definition from Barrow above.)
The methods -- well known in the 18th century -- were further popularized when the furniture designer/cabintetmaker, Thomas Sheraton (1751-1806), gave a receipt:--
using pear-tree wood and other similar grained woods, which were given a "wash with a hot decoction of galls, and when dry, adding writing ink, polishing it with a stiff brush and a little hot wax" (Sheraton 1803, p.205).
The so-called "German ebony" was made by steeping woods such as sycamore, fruit wood, and beech into a mix of blue or black aniline dyes, dissolved in alcohol.
In the 19th century -- where mechanization of woodworking technologies made furniture of rectilinear outlines more accessible -- ebonization was particularly used by designers working in the Aesthetic Movement style.
In the first half of the 20th century, ebonizing continued as a simple way to give inexpensive woods an exotic look. [In the 1950s and 1960s black lacquered or painted legs and frames were supplied to cabinets and tables, often in combination with brass ferrules. These acted as a contrast to the glossy finishes of wood or plastic laminates that the cabinet or table was mainly constructed from.]
From architect A W N. Pugin came the idea that some architecture is moral and truthful and some is not, giving us a sort of "architectural morality and truth". In his analysis of Gothic buildings in True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture (1841) Pugin equates architectural truth with religious truth, by arguing that Gothic is a principle of building -- not a style --, that the "Gothic" principles of the medieval period are sssstill relevant to the 1840s.
Pugin elaborates further: All buildings reflect the society in which they are built, but the Gothic had particular lessons to teach us, lessons, Pugin argued, concerning what he labeled "constructional truth" and "material truth".
For Pugin, constructional truth meant that a building's construction should be obvious. To ornament was OK if, the ormament neither obscured the construction nor opposed what is appropriate in form and meaning.
Truth to materials meant that all materials should be chosen for their particular strengths and should not be treated to look like other material.3.
To greater or lesser degrees, John Ruskin, an Oxford University professor of architecture, William Morris and others in the Arts and Crafts movement, embraced these ideas, but the times -- more inclusive democracies, more rapidly expanding populations, the emergence of a growing middle class with more disposible incomes, technological developments, innovations in merchandising, all were forces against such purities. In other words, any resistance to ebonising, rectilinear furniture, or other formulations emerging from an innovative technology eroded the voices of a prescriptive authority.
What Can Account for Shifts in British Society that Made a Mass Market for Furniture Produced on a Mass Scale?
For answers to this rhetorical question, coal and iron are basic. Coal for industrial as well as for household purposes was used for most of the 18th-century, and iron was a standard material for tools for three thousand years. For Britain, in 19th- century, what changed was the increased scale in which these two basic materials were used. Seemingly, as new applications of steam power to iron machinery appeared, changes in scale catapulted into changes in kind.
Ex: in industries centered in homes, spinning wheels, wooden looms, powered by human muscles were a micro to the macro of the thousands of spindles and scores of steam-driven looms concentrated in an early Victorian cotton mill; and the cheapness, formity, and above all the quantity of the product far exceeded anything that hand-power produced.
Visualize technological innovations of similar impact -- in other trades like metallurgy or printing, or the rise of new occupations like engineering or railroading -- so that by 1850, in demography, in economics, in politics, the fabric of British society no longer reflects conditions that prevailed under the Old Regime.
In the first phase of modern industrialism, taken together, this progressive inventiveness helped Britain assume a commanding lead over other nations.
In political terms, similarly, a mentality shared by a growing democratization forced dismantlement of the rigidity of the aristocracy's lock on power.
Ebonising Against "Truth to Materials" Doctrine
Pugin's earlier exhortations for truth to materials and his recommendations for flat, formalized ornament instead of illusionistic motifs were taken up by the designers of the Art and Crafts movement, including the putative leader, William Morris. Shunning eclecticism and the excessiveness of over-ornamentation -- features that the increasing mechanization of woodworking made easier -- in favor of designs inspired by the past but rather than slavishly copying, Morris argued for simplifying designs and forging new links between craft and industry. To embrace these values, he argued, would raise standards of design and workmanship and make well-made goods affordable. His idealism was wrong-headed; the political, economic and social impact of market-forces became too strong for human efforts to influence.
Morris secularized the Gothic Revival, drawing ideas from 13th-century medieval sources. Rejecting the overblown naturalism of French design, Morris created wallpapers and textiles in simpler patterns composed of native flowers, trees and wild animals (see DYE, COLOUR PL. IV, FIG., and [not available online]). These provided a backdrop for furniture embellished with simple mouldings and panels by Pre-Raphaelite painters depicting medieval romances, thus reuniting the fine and decorative arts. William Burges's furniture of the same period (e.g. bookcase, 1859–62; London, V&A), copiously painted with emblematic animals and religious scenes and often capped with finials, represented a highly personal contribution to the decorative arts.

[41301.] Ebonising Wood. Perhaps this black stain will suit: liberal collection of logwood chips, boil in 1 quart water; lay on hot; make a second decoction of logwood, and add 1 oz. copper, 2 oz. verdigris, strain, and put into it liberally rusty steel filings, and give a second coat of this. E. K. Dalk.
Ebony Stains.?1. Stain work with the black stain, adding powdered nutgall to the logwood and copperas solution, dry, rub down well, oil, then use French polish made tolerably dark with indigo, or finely-powdered stone blue. 2. Hold an ordinary slate over gas, lamp, or candle, until it is well smoked at the bottom, scrape a sufficient quantity into French polish, and well mix; then polish the article in the ordinary way. If there are any lumps gently rub them down and apply another coat. 3. Prepare a decoction of logwood by adding a small handful of chips to a pint of rain water. Allow this to simmer until reduced onefourth, and whilst the liquor is hot dress the work to be ebonized two or three times. To the remainder of the liquor add two bruised nut-galls, a few very misty nails, bits of iron-hooping, or a piece of sulphate of iron the size of a "walnut, and as much more rain water as will make about three-quarters of a pint of liquor. Apply this, which will be a black stain, hot as before, giving two coats, and when thoroughly dry, polish with ordinary French polish, to which sufficient powdered thumb-blue has been added to perceptibly colour the polish. Use a glazed pipkin in which to prepare the stain. Take care that no oil or grease comes in contact with the brushes used or the surface of the wood until ready for polishing. Let each coat of stain dry before the next is added, and rub down with well-used, fine glass-paper. Sycamore, chestnut, and plane-tree, are the best woods for ebonizing in the above manner. 4. Infuse gall-nuts in vinegar in which rusty nails have been soaked, rub the wood with the infusion, dry, polish, burnish. 5. Stain in the first place with a hot saturated solution of logwood, co&taining a little alum; and, when dry, brush it over with common writing ink.Source: Ernest Spon, Workshop Receipts, for the Use of Manufacturers, Mechanics and Scientific Amateurs ... .

[41301.]Ebonising Wood. Make a decoction of logwood, and while hot apply it with a brush to the article of furniture, as in painting. Let it dry, and when so, go over it a second time. Crush a little sulphate of iron and dissolve in a portion of the decoction, which, applied when the second application is nearly dry, will produce a blue-black. When thoroughly dry, oil it over with linseed oil, and you will have a deep black. J. D.

The global nuclear order, which had been built up, step by step, since the 1960s, has begun to unravel. The building blocks of the order were both bilateral and multilateral. The bilateral components included a series of nuclear arms control agreements between the US and the then Soviet Union. Though the UK and France had independent, though modest nuclear arsenals, these were practically subsumed within the US deterrent system. China became a nuclear weapon state in 1963 with a small arsenal designed for deterrence. Nuclear doctrines thus evolved mainly in a binary East-West frame.
Multilateral agreements which followed would not have worked unless they were underpinned by US-Soviet concurrence. The first such agreement was the Partial Test Ban Treaty (PTBT) of 1963, prohibiting further testing of nuclear weapons over ground. More importantly, an agreement on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) of 1970, was based on a consensus reached between the US and the Soviet Union that it was in their interest to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons to additional states. While India signed the PTBT, it rejected the NPT because it imposed no credible commitment on the part of the nuclear weapon states to engage in nuclear disarmament within a specific time frame, while non-nuclear weapon states committed themselves not to produce or acquire such weapons. This was an unequal treaty which India was not prepared to accept. The NPT nevertheless became an anchor of the global nuclear order.
Post NPT, one witnessed a dramatic nuclear arms race between the two superpowers. The arms control agreements reached between them, such as at the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, stipulated ceilings beyond which their arsenals would not expand. An agreement was reached in 1972 on limited anti-ballistic missile (ABM) defence. The ABM treaty had logic in terms of the doctrine of mutual assured destruction (MAD), where deterrence prevailed because each side had the power to annihilate the other, protective defence being allowed only for the capital city. It is only since the 1980s that they began to negotiate arms reductions such as the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) agreement of 1988 which eliminated medium and short-range nuclear delivery systems. The Strategic Arms Reduction Talks I and II, which extended over the decades of the 1980s and the 1990s, resulted, for the first time, in significant reductions in the nuclear arsenals of both the US and the Soviet Union (later the Russian Federation). From some 40,000 weapons in the arsenals of the two countries, the numbers came down to about 10,000. When the New START agreement was concluded in 2011, the arsenals were to be reduced further in a 10-year time frame to 1,550 each. There were limitations on the number of launch vehicles too. The two sides also concluded an Open Skies Treaty in 1992, which other countries also joined to ensure transparency and compliance with arms limitations and confidence building measures. It is this carefully constructed edifice of the global nuclear order which is rapidly unravelling.
The ABM treaty in 2002 and the INF agreement in 2019 have been repudiated by the US, and Russia has followed suit. There are indications that the US will not extend the New START treaty beyond 2021 and the Open Skies agreement may be the next casualty.
A Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) concluded in 1995 but is not yet in force though a moratorium on nuclear testing is in place. India refused to join the consensus and eventually even the US, its main champion, failed to ratify it. The moratorium is under strain as a new generation of nuclear weapons are being developed and the reliability of existing weapons need to be confirmed. The consensus underlying the NPT is also being eroded. The 2015 NPT review conference failed to agree on an outcome document.
What is driving this unravelling of the global nuclear order?
One, the Cold War binary no longer prevails as China emerges as a significant nuclear power, with sophisticated weapons and delivery systems. The nuclear club is no longer confined to five states. There are now nine countries with significant nuclear arsenals and the dynamic among them is complex and unpredictable. There are others waiting in the wings. Nuclear doctrines which evolved during the Cold War based on the US-Soviet binary are no longer adequate. But China resists joining any trilateral negotiations while the prospects for a truly multilateral nuclear disarmament agreement remain bleak.
Two, advances in technology are adding to the complexity. The nuclear domain is getting integrated with cyber and space domains. The development of hyper-sonic glide weapons is heightening threat perceptions. Any arms control or disarmament effort will need to go beyond the nuclear category.
Three, the geopolitical situation is sliding towards great power confrontation and rising regional tensions. This is exacerbating an already frayed nuclear order.
As a nuclear weapon state, India will need to carefully assess the impact of these developments on its national security and the efficacy of its nuclear deterrent. These are uncertain times that demand both doctrinal agility and integrative approaches across domains to stay ahead of the curve.

The analysis of changes of water stores in clay soil on the background of weather conditions in Puczniew area
Treść / Zawartość
This paper examines the changes in stocks of water in clay soils against precipitation and changes in the groundwater table. The study was conducted during the summer period (May-September) in 2001 and 2002. According to the Kaczorowska` s criteria (1962) the year 2001 was very wet, and the 2002 – average. In 2001, ground water table was at a depth of 0 to 190 cm below ground surface level, and in 2002, from 50 cm to 150 cm below the surface. Water storages in the root zone (0-35 cm) developed in 2001 at the level of 100 to 125 mm, in 2002, from 88 mm to 122 mm.

- 10 What is the difference between earthworms and nightcrawlers?
How do you start a worm bed for fishing?
Shred and moisten newspaper to make bedding and create a thick, fluffy layer of it in the bottom of the bed. Add worms, soil, and food scraps and watch your worms turn it into rich organic soil and compost. Keep the bed moist and don’t let it dry out or your worms will die.
How fast do worms reproduce?
Worms are ready to breed once they mature from 50 to 90 days. Earthworms are hermaphrodites; they can be male or female (a great advantage!). They can perform both male and female functions and mate every 7 to 10 days. The mating process takes around 24 hours.
Do I add soil to worm farm?
Using finished compost or potting mix add it in each time you feed the worms OR take out the top layer of food and worms and add in enough potting mix or compost to bring the level back up. Don’t bury the food in the worm farm, it needs to stay near the top with the worms.
Is it hard to start a worm farm?
A homemade worm farm is an inexpensive way to reduce kitchen waste and create a rich compost. It’s easy and inexpensive to build a homemade worm farm and it can reap benefits for the garden. Worms produce rich compost that can enrich garden soil or brew into a compost tea.
Are worm farms easy?
Worm farming is a great way to reduce your household food waste. As long as you have a sheltered balcony or garden, it’s easy to do and creates nutritious plant food for your garden. Replace the worm farm lid and you’re ready to go.
What do I feed my worms?
Worms will eat many things, including fruits, vegetables, eggshells, coffee grounds, leaves, grass clippings, paper, and cardboard! However, there are also some foods you should avoid feeding your worms, like meat, grains, and dairy products.
What to feed fishing worms?
The worms will feed on kitchen scraps. However, do not give them anything oily, any dairy products, nor any meat. These foods will make the bin rancid and attract vermin. Also, acidic foods such as tomatoes, citrus, and pineapple should be avoided.
Can you breed worms for fishing?
Uncle Jim’s recommends the European Nightcrawlers Gardenworm’s Super Red Worms are very easy to raise, and breeds real fast. You can place these European Nightcrawlers on your lawn or garden, and are also perfect as fish bait. Get your supply today!
Are red wigglers good for fishing?
Meal Worms & Red Worms Red worms are known to work particularly well for smaller fish like bluegills, crappie and perch because these fish have smaller mouths and are either afraid or unable to eat big night crawlers consistently. Make sure that your worms are lively and wiggling when you take them fishing.
What is the difference between earthworms and nightcrawlers?
Are the worms used in a worm bin the same as earthworms? These nightcrawlers are different from red wigglers, although both may be called “earthworms” since they both are found in the earth. Nightcrawlers are soil-dwellers, thus they like to burrow several feet below the surface.

In this weeks blog we will explore some crucial healing variables
A. The Triad of Healing
Placebo and Nocebo
Distant Healing or Hexing
(If distant/remote viewing is real so too is distant diagnosis. Western medicine objects to the idea of Shamanism but is now slowly beginning to accept the term "medical intuitive."
Central to any healing is the Inner Healer of the patient without which no healing could occur. The mysterious ability of the body to heal itself is often taken for granted and without it all healers would be lost.
At the top of the triangle is allopathic medicine, the West's holy grail of healing. The scientific method (evidence based medicine) is reliant on double blind studies. These are done to exclude the possibility of placebo and calculate the influence the medicine or procedure alone has on the outcome of a condition. This method is not as reliable as we would like to believe since placebo can vary significantly.
Some Dr's because of their loving bed-side manner will engender a more powerful placebo response. Shamans uses placebo to good effect rather than trying to discount it. This occurs because of their qualities of charisma, calm, competence, confidence as well as their ability to glean vital non local information magically from the "Field." Although the placebo response is usually around 30%, some healers are able to increase this exponentially. In cases of spontaneous remission of diseases that have resisted the best efforts modern medicine has to offer for an incurable condition, the single most important factor resulting in the miracle of spontaneous remission was a firm belief that all was going to be well.
Total belief can cure almost anything.
Less well known is nocebo which is the power of belief to hurt, harm or even kill a patient. Few physicians would acknowledge that this occurs in medicine since nocebo is usually the domain of witches or those with evil inclinations. Nevertheless it can occur in the medical profession because of our litigious society. Sometimes if a prognosis is not given or full informed consent for a procedure not delivered the physician may be subject to a law suite. For some patients, attempting to educate and self-diagnose on complex diseases through the internet can create a nocebo response.
The third part of the triad is distant healing and distant diagnosis (its equivalent, remote viewing, has been studied extensively at Stanford University and even by the C.I.A. in the past.)
There are numerous double blind studies attesting to the power of distant healing. A comparable selection of patients with a disease is divided into two groups. The one group gets standard therapy and the other, standard therapy as well as distant healing from a group of experienced healers. The patients do not know they are receiving this healing and the healers do not know the patients so there is no possibility for a placebo effect. The results with the"healing" group is usually so significantly better that if it could have easily been delivered in pill form one would have felt negligent for not dispensing it.
Apart from enhancing placebo Shamans rely on the power of distant healing and diagnosis which is facilitated by their spirit guides through the non local Field. This healing that is channeled can be called Divine Healing Energy which is just love in disguise.
It is important to recognize from the figure below that placebo and nocebo work through the power of belief on the Inner Healer to heal or to harm.
On the other hand distant healing or hexing bypass the belief system of the patient to affect the Inner Healer directly. Healing or harming will occur whether one believes in it or not or knows about it or not.
Placebo and distant healing are generated by love, nocebo and hexing by fear.
B. The Four Crucial Variables in Healing; Patient, Healer, Place and Field
As can be seen in the diagram below healing will depend on the relationships between healer, patient, "Field" and the place where healing occurs.
To the extent that the healer and patient can access the Field and obtain "non local" information, the healing will be greater.
If the patient is returning to a dysfunctional home environment or a toxic work place and does not have access to alternative methods of healing, healthy food or nature the healing will suffer.
The doctor's office and the hospital are also key areas that need to be addressed for healing and preventing harming.

Late goals from substitutes Yoann Arquin and Romello Nangle fired Notts County to victory over Colchester.
The home side took the lead when Jeff Hughes slotted home but the U's equalised when Jabo Ibhere tapped in after a fantastic passing move.
Notts restored their lead when Arquin met a corner with a terrific looping header and teenager Nangle sealed the win with a cool finish.
Colchester are now five points clear of the drop zone with three games to play.
VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Colchester United manager Joe Dunne told BBC Essex:
"After we got the equaliser we were OK. In the second half we were fine, we were dealing with most things, I thought we were coping really well with the game.
"Set-pieces have undone us, responsibilities of marking and so on. The second goal went in and we lost our way a bit.
"We made the changes prior to that to go and win it, because we felt we could. But that didn't make any difference to a ball coming into the box and not being defended properly.
"I think it was (a missed opportunity), they played the youngsters and that's just the way it goes on a very difficult pitch away from home."

Reviews for Marta's places
Second time we stayed in this house (which has many different appartments) and it was a very good stay again. Kazimierz is definitely the place to be in Krakow.
The only bad thing abou the appartment was that the shower would regularly flood the bath a little bit.
The place was very nice and absolutely ideal for a bigger group of people (we were 8), the only bottleneck is that there is only one bathroom. The location is also really good directly on the border of the nicest most interesting part of Krakow: Kazimierz. The old Jewish quarter witch lots of nice cafes, bars and restaurants. The apartment is right on a bigger road, but that didn't bother us at all. One little downside was that the wifi was not so good, but they said they will be working on it.

What it is:
Green Innovations in Winter Sports Gear refers to the development and integration of sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies and materials into winter sports equipment. This includes snowboards, skis, boots, clothing, and accessories that are designed to minimize environmental impact while maintaining high performance.
Traditional winter sports gear often involves the use of non-renewable resources, toxic chemicals, and excessive waste generation. These practices contribute to environmental degradation, including deforestation, pollution, and carbon emissions. Additionally, the production and disposal of conventional gear have significant ecological footprints.
Solutions for Green Innovations in Winter Sports Gear:
One solution to reduce the environmental impact of winter sports gear is the use of sustainable materials. Manufacturers are utilizing recycled and organic materials such as recycled plastics, plant-based textiles, and natural fibers. These materials not only minimize the use of non-renewable resources but also decrease waste generation and pollution.
Adopting more efficient manufacturing processes can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of winter sports gear. This includes implementing energy-efficient technologies, reducing water consumption, and optimizing production to minimize waste. Many companies are also prioritizing local production to reduce transportation-related emissions.
Circular Economy Approach:
Implementing a circular economy approach aims to minimize waste and prolong the lifespan of winter sports gear. This involves designing products for durability, repairability, and upgradability. Manufacturers are also developing take-back programs and recycling initiatives to ensure that gear components can be properly reused or recycled at the end of their life cycle.
Collaboration and Innovation:
Collaboration between manufacturers, designers, athletes, and environmental organizations is crucial in driving further innovation in sustainable winter sports gear. By sharing knowledge, expertise, and resources, the industry can continue to develop new technologies and solutions that balance environmental sustainability with high performance.

ADDING ACID TO REDUCE ACIDITY IN FEEDSTOCK OILS: The counterintuitive Process of acid-catalyzed Esterification Explained:
How to Titrate Oil Prior to Making Biodiesel
To accurately determine the acidity (FFA content) of your oil, you need to accurately know the strength of your base solution. It is nearly impossible to measure out a small amount of the base (like sodium hydroxide) to mix into a solution with a high degree of accuracy. One of the problems encountered in trying to do this, is the fact that NaOH quickly absorbs water and CO2 out of the air. This makes the compound both heavier and weaker. Steps 2-6 (above) have allowed you to determine the strength of the basic solution that you are using to titrate your oil. To double check the strength of your base solution, repeat steps 2-6 to make sure the results compare.
SUMMARY OF TITRATION METHODOLOGIES

"Health insurance companies may no longer deny applicants coverage due to pre-existing conditions. They may not change their premiums based on a person's medical history."
This would make for a very popular bill. Of course, there would be an enormous incentive for people to jump off the insurance roles until they ran into a situation where they needed intensive medical care. That's what the individual mandate was supposed to fix.
Without a mandate to get coverage, premiums for those who remain on the insurance rolls would skyrocket, causing even more people to jump off the rolls. Within a decade, the health insurance industry would be dead.
Then we could finally get a decent Medicare-style single payer system for all Americans.
It's simple, people: If you're going to get to universal coverage (which most Americans want) and you're not going to cut the insurance industry out of the picture (which most Americans want, God only knows why) then you have to mandate that insurance companies take anyone who comes along. If you mandate that, you also have to mandate that everyone purchase insurance, in order to avoid the premiums death spiral I described above, and you need subsidies for Americans who are too poor to afford health insurance on their own.
This plan, or something very much like it, is what is needed to effect universal coverage without socializing the entire health insurance industry*.
Ask the right wingers what their ideas are for reforming health care. I've heard three ideas, none of which would work:
1) Tort reform: According to the CBO, "defensive medicine" and malpractice payouts comprise about 2% of overall health care spending. You can't make big gains there. Health insurance overheads, on the other hand, takes about 30% from the top.
2) Let insurers sell across state lines: We'll end up with something like the credit card industry, where all insurance is sold by companies based out of the one state with the fewest consumer protections.
3) Let people feel the costs of their health care decisions: Sounds market friendly in theory, and it has been shown that people who pay more out of pocket for individual treatments use less medical services. But the studies have shown that people don't have the expertise to distinguish between medically necessary and unnecessary treatments, and when exposed to greater market pressures, they are as likely to cut back on the former as the latter. Which is why health care services make for a lousy market in the first place.
The Republican idea barrel is pretty empty. According to the CBO, the Republican alternative bill for health care reform would leave the uninsured population unchanged in ten years. They have absolutely no idea how to get more people more access to health care, and they know it.
* Which wouldn't be such a bad thing. Health insurance isn't an industry where massive innovation is either needed or desirable.

Acceptance criteria in the context of massive migration processes
22 June, 15.00 CEST – online – free with registration
How to define what ‘good’ looks (or sounds) like? Each project must deliver on three main measurable parameters: budget, timeline and quality. How do we define and measure quality for a project for the massive migration of archive content? This question has its philosophical, technical and monetary aspects.
While there is no expectation of a “silver bullet” answer, there is certainly a lot of value in sparking up a debate with a view to understanding how different organisations have been approaching this question in the past, and what are best plans for the future. To hear a number of expert voices and discuss this matter with the broad audiovisual archiving community, the FIAT/IFTA Preservation and Migration Commission organises a free, online, afternoon seminar on Tuesday 22 June, 15.00 CEST.
On the confirmed speaker’s list:
- Miroslav Čuljat (RTÉ – Ireland)
- Charles Fairall (British Film Institute – UK)

The cost of goods in markets in Kwara State continues to rise and this in turn has affected the traders’ profit margin, National Pilot learnt.
The rising cost price of food items in Kwara market according to traders who spoke with our reporter attributed it to the grappling economy, the foreign exchange rate and insecurity that have impacted food prices, even making it a difficult task for banks supporting the nation’s economy from collapsing.
Kwara State in recent times, has experienced incessant high inflation rate, one that have resulted to high level of poverty, food crisis and price hike.
The daily increment in the cost price of goods, edible and non-edible products has taken a toll on the finance of consumers and traders; this has therefore created fear amongst citizens who earn less and spend more.
The problem created by the rising prices of goods and services leading to higher cost of living has become too difficult for the government to solve.
This period, fixed amounts of money buy less quantity of goods and services. The real value of money is drastically reduced thus the purchasing power of consumers are reduced too.
At the popular Mandate Market, a trader, Afusat Kasali affirmed that there are goods whose prices are at reasonable level before the sudden surge which has badly reduced the supply of such goods.
“There are goods that are sold at reasonable amount before, but now, their prices have risen drastically and their supply are very low. Sales have been affected due to the rise in the cost of major goods resulting to the reduction in the purchasing power of buyers,” she said.
At Yoruba Road Market, there is an increment in the cost price of rice; foreign and local rice. Traders at the market attribute the high cost of foreign rice to the foreign exchange rate especially the dollar rate.”
Now, a bag of foreign rice sells from N30,000 upwards for the long grain while small grain is sold from N29,000 and below. But some traders sell bellow this price so as to restock their shop and attract new customers.
For local rice, a bag is sold from N25,000 and below, and the ones that are not very neat are sold from 23,500, N22,000 and below. Before now, a bag of foreign rice cost N26,000 and N27,000, while a bag of local rice is sold from N24,000 and N23,000 and below.
As it stands, traders revealed the cost of purchase of rice would go higher if nothing is done to the foreign exchange rate that is currently higher than the nation’s currency.
For beans, traders attribute the hike to the rising insecurity in the country and high cost of transportation as well but others are of the opinion that the supply also led to its inflating cost.
Oloyin beans is packaged in a small sized bags and are sold from N27,000 in September but now, they are sold from N30,000 upwards.
At the market, a bag of beans in previous weeks was sold from N70,000 upwards and some traders insist their price is given at N80,000 upwards; but this week at the market, a bag of beans is sold from N85,000 upwards as traders disclosed that the supply is low, adding that the economic situation of the country is another factor affecting the pricing.
At Emir’s Market (Oja-Oba), Yusuf Kadijat, lamented fluctuations in the prices of commodity including cooking oil among others.
“The cost of cooking oil in recent times is higher due to the rise in the general price of goods in the market. Sometimes it reduces and at other times it increases.
“The dollar rate affects cooking oil prices in the country especially the branded ones and now, even the refill are sold at a very high rate. There are different types of cooking oil; the branded ones are often very expensive and the ones that are not branded are a bit affordable, ” Kadijat confirmed.
A 25-litre of good and well processed palm-oil is sold by some traders from N21,000 upwards and some sell from N22,000 upwards and a 25-litre of groundnut-oil is sells from N20,000 and N21,000 and above.

Innovative Algorithm for Wide Band Digital Signal Processing in modern AESA RADAR Architecture
RF sampling technology, already available in L,S and C bands, allows acquiring the whole operative RADAR bandwidth. In this context, to overcome digital processing bottlenecks, an innovativeFPGA based algorithm, targeting wide band RADAR signal has been designed. The algorithm is able to digitally process wide band signals, with a FPGA operative clock frequency much lower than the one requested by standard Nyquist-basedprocessing. The same algorithm can also be used to reduce the FPGA operating clock frequency and therefore power consumption, a burning issue for small form factor modules. The algorithm is characterized in terms of functionalities, performance and FPGA implementation; an actual case study is presented

The Miami Herald reported that the head of FEMA says everyone should be prepared at home for disasters. Craig Fugate, Florida’s former disaster chief, says it’s not just the government that needs to be cooperative and ready. He believes we should each be ready, since we could save more lives if we looked out for each other.
Here are Fugate’s recommendations.
- Develop a family disaster plan.
- Take a disaster or first-aid training course and learn a skill.
- In the event of a disaster, secure family first, and then go check on a neighbor.
This is another one of those times when what the government says makes sense. We should each be prepared, whether we live in hurricane country or tornado alley. Being prepared means there’s that much less dependence on government and their response, or lack thereof. Of course, do it for yourself, your family, and your neighbors, not merely to do a favor for Uncle Sam.
Survival kits are available from companies featured on the Survival Kits & Essential Supplies page in the Prep Mart. If you don’t already have what you need for your family, work or school, now’s the time to make the investment.
Remember, FEMA wants you to be ready, and that’s good advice no matter how they’ll respond to the next big one.


Saifiti calls out teammates as Knights legend pinpoints ‘major problem’
Co-captain Daniel Saifiti has vowed to hold the Knights playing group “accountable” in a frank assessment of the team’s disappointing 28-8 defeat to the Roosters.
Newcastle shot out to a eight-point lead in the opening half as it looked to close back in on the top eight but instead failed to score another point in the next 63 minutes.
Fox League expert Cooper Cronk continually called for the Knights to target the makeshift Roosters edges following injuries to Matt Ikuvalu and Billy Smith.

Execution though was lacking as coach Adam O’Brien pointed out post-game and the club was left to dwell on another missed opportunity in the race to the finals.
“We’ve got to hold people accountable and being honest some blokes didn’t own up today and that’s just being straight-up fair,” Saifiti told Fox League post-game.
“I think we’ve got to turn into a club where you don’t cop that stuff and I’ll be going in there and making sure it doesn’t happen again as captain and holding people accountable.”
It is what Knights fans want to hear after another underwhelming performance but Fox League’s Braith Anasta said it is a message he has heard far too often.
“They just fold so easily,” he said.
“You hear poor Daniel Saifiti after the game saying we just didn’t turn up. I’ve heard that after three or four games this year from Newcastle players or coaching staff.
“You can’t just not turn up. Maybe once a year it may happen but if it happens time and time again it is not good enough. The Knights are underwhelming.”

FIXING THE TIGERS: The $1.5m coup that can lift Tigers out of the dark
Fox League’s Michael Ennis, meanwhile, warned that Newcastle’s inability to capitalise on a weakened Roosters has left their season in “jeopardy”.
“At one stage there with all the injuries it was a complete reshuffle for Trent Robinson’s men,” he said.
“They had some chances - the Knights got in front early. The second half was not up to scratch. They’ve put their season in huge jeopardy.
“At one stage they had Lachlan Lam in the centres, Joey Manu on the wing and Tupouniua floating around from centre to back row.”
Yet the Knights were unable to find the passes out wide to take full advantage, something O’Brien reflected on post-game.
He even hooked winger Dominic Young during the second half in an attempt to get more early ball out on the edges.
“It’s obviously really hard [to take off an underperforming player] but it was not the only reason,” he said.
“I wanted to get some [different] personnel, in particular Brodie and Jack, because I thought they could get the ball out to our edges. It was sort of a tactical move there.
“The Roosters had some challenges with their own personnel and where they were playing in position. Again I’ll come back to the footy IQ parts of our game, I didn’t think we didn’t expose those areas of the Roosters’ defence and that’s what I was trying to do.”
Watch ‘Wild Wests: Tales from Tiger Town’ an exclusive Fox League behind-the-scenes production on demand on Kayo > Click here to watch
O’Brien added that “technical and tactical aspects” are “letting the team down” and club legend Matthew Johns believes Newcastle’s inconsistent results call for an overhaul of systems beyond NRL.
Speaking on SEN 1170 on Friday, Johns said that there is a “major problem” at the Knights when it comes to translating the coaching philosophy from the juniors to the top grade.
“That’s the major problem at Newcastle,” he said.
“When we were there it was Allen Bell, David Waite and Robert Finch and Allan McMahon and Keith Onslow as well.
“I remember when the Knights first came into the comp, the coaches would turn up at school once a month and go: ‘This is what a Newcastle Knights player is’, explaining marker play, explaining red defence... all the plays. At the time it meant nothing but all of a sudden you go into grade and know the system.
“The last 15 years they are appointing coaches in the lower grades and just saying coach the team and suddenly you’ve got all these different ways and when they hit the [top] grade they’ve got to learn the game.”
MORE NRL NEWS
Matthew and brother Andrew both compared that to what has happened at Penrith under Phil Gould.
Matthew revealed: “What Penrith did is rather than put a coach in who is coaching SG Ball, Jersey Flegg and Harold Matthews and let them coach with their own style. They said: ‘No, this is how we see ourselves playing in first grade in five years and no-one tows the line’. As many losses as you want but we are going to play that way.”
“He [Gould] went in by all accounts and coached the junior coaches - this is how I want you to coach the junior coaches,” brother Andrew added.
“Then he put someone over the top who he would liaise with once and twice a week. From that they’ve got Jarome Luai, Nathan Cleary, Brian To’o, Stephen Crichton, Isaah Yeo, Liam Martin and they all came through together, all learnt the principles of how they wanted to play eventually in first grade and taught them the fundamentals of how to play that way.”
The absence of halfback Mitchell Pearce was also telling on Friday night, with the Knights missing his direction and composure.
“We just didn’t manage that second half, everything from our kicking game to our field position,” O’Brien said.
“We didn’t play smart with the footy. There was a lot of emotion in the room. It was an emotional week. They don’t enjoy where we are at and we’re trying to find our way out.”
Finding that way out may be easier than first thought though with the Raiders the only current top-eight side the Knights will face on the run home.
