Discussion in 'Howard Stern' started by TSS Taylor, Oct 9, 2008.
I will be in Detroit Oct 17 and 18 for the Bubbapalooza. I'm pretty excited about it. Anyone else going? Has anyone ever been to a Bubbapalooza show?
I wish I could be there. It would be nice to go home for a weekend.
I was at Jabrone Fest in IN. It was a great time and a great show!
I went to the show in AC. It was good overall. There were high points and low points but the high points outweighed the low points. Brent does a soapbox type rant. He knows his stuff but his visual was terrible. It will become obvious to you that Manson is in fact Ned. Pay attention to the style of dancing between the two; the moves are exactly the same.
Oct 17th is my Birthday!
I will be there, can't help but make one so close to home. Hope to see some of the fine folks I've met on the Sirius/Stern related boards there. And there is always the couple I hope I can avoid.
Is he coming to Seattle or what?? I've been back and forth so I haven't heard, but I'll be in Portland, OR through December and can make a Seattle gig easily.
They've said no more this year except Detroit on Oct 18 and Jacksonville which I think is like Dec 6.
Lame. Oh well, if I have to go Navy I'll at least be in Jacksonville.
I hope I can make it to the next one in the Northeast. I hope Bubba does Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods in CT because that's probably the closest he'd come.
You really should have gone to AC. You had no excuse. You could have been called Shenanigans CIA Director.
Someone needs to get me a shirt if they say "Detroit" on them. XL is fine.
I am also looking for a Bubba Army Sweatshirt. Black with white letters. XL is fine.
And yes, I will pay you.
I am also looking for a Bubba Army Sweatshirt. Gray with black letters. XL is fine.
Only Bubba Army I've seen is in Black with white letters.
I guess I'll settle for one of those.
I'm only 150 miles away from Detroit, but I ain't goin'. Plus, I really don't trust downtown Detroit.
I'll be there - even my wife is coming along.
Detroit certainly has its problems, but not all of it is a blighted wasteland - just most of it. The area around the Fillmore isn't too bad. If you want to have a real Detroit experience, go to Harpos!
Still waiting to see if Bubba gets resigned. If so, I pray he does a California date but I would make the trip for a west coast show.
I don't know what deal O&A have with the FM stations but I can see them getting rid of Bubba and keeping O&A. I think Bubba has a larger following but O&A have a more recognized name, IMO.
:lol: I am honored that I was quitted by you with your first post.

Duracell Inc. has teamed up with Iowa Lakes Community College to get out the message on its Smart Power initiative and the important role of its rechargeable batteries.
The Bethel-based maker of the Coppertop battery in September visited the school to shoot a commercial showing students Adam Literski and Greg Frates using voltage meters powered by Duracell rechargeable batteries as they worked to repair a wind turbine, part of the school's nationally recognized wind-energy program.
"The reason we chose them is because we want to put a new face on Duracell," said Robert Jacobs, marketing director for Duracell North America. "We saw a good alignment with our objectives and what they're doing at Iowa Lakes."
Iowa Lakes sells the energy from the 232-foot-tall wind turbine at its 800-student campus in Estherville, Iowa, to the city, said Valerie Newhouse, the school's president.
"The turbine provides enough power to supply the entire campus," she said.
The 30-second TV spot, which marks the 18th commercial for Duracell's "Trusted Everywhere" campaign begun in 2003, is the first ad for the company's Smart Power initiative, focused on addressing the consumer's growing need for off-the-grid energy to power digital accessories such as cameras, PDAs and cell phones.
Taking part in the commercial, which has received more than 2,200 hits on YouTube since first airing this month on national TV, was a chance of a lifetime, said Literski, who plans on pursuing electrical engineering with a wind emphasis at the University of Iowa.
"Wind energy is an upcoming technology that's going to be here for a while," he said.
Duracell's interest in working with Iowa Lakes has been an honor, said Al Zeitz, who in 2004 founded Iowa Lakes' wind-energy program and recently stepped down as its director.
"It's a testament to how well the program has done," he said.
In addition to its environmental benefits, the wind-power industry will prove to be a boon to the U.S. economy because its maintenance and installation jobs cannot be outsourced, said Michael Carberry, executive director of the Iowa Renewable Energy Association in Iowa City, Iowa.
"There's such a pent-up demand here for wind turbines," he said, adding that a wind-turbine technician can earn from $50,000 to $100,000 a year after two years of schooling. "The wind resources in this country are excellent and we need to take advantage of them."
based Procter & Gamble, which saw year-over-year sales for last year's third quarter decline 6 percent to $19.8 billion primarily because of unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. The publicly traded company's stock Friday declined 8 cents to close at $60.44.

Ah Millennials… If you were born between 1985 and 2000, chances are you have been accused of a lot of things – snowflake, self-entitled, avocado-eating narcissist… you’ve most certainly been on the receiving end of a lot of (often unjust) criticism. But here is a very positive thing you created: Your own words and online language.
2 – Dead – When someone says, or types, something so funny that you get killed with joy.

1 – Bounce – Leave. “Lovely party but I’m afraid I’m gonna have to bounce” .
2 – Swerve – Go away. Leave me alone.
3 – Adulting – When you no longer live with your parents and wash your clothes, cook your food, pay your bills – you’re a grown up, you’re adulting.

2 – I can’t even – You can’t even what? It doesn’t matter. It could be something specific, it could be reality in general. The point is, the world has gone insane, and we can’t even.
3 – Netflix and chill – Secret code for “come to my house and let’s fool around”.
1 – Bae – it started as a short for baby / babe, meaning boyfriend and girlfriend but now it generally means the one you love before anyone else. “Look at this picture of me and bae in Paris”.

After reading Fairest on its release date, I'm pretty much drowning in my own feels. There such a complexity to this book that looks so short [next to Cress, which is over 500 pages long.] Fairest is not a plot driven story. It's very much based on character development, however, possibly not the character development you were expecting.
Levana is the villain. What I found strange was that some people expected this to be a tale of clear cut redemption. There is no tragic sob story large enough excuse Levana for her character. She is not "misunderstood" or an "angel in disguise." If you go into the story with the attitude that she is, you're going to be let down.
The easiest way to describe Levana [that I've now said multiple times] is to compare her to the character Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Azula, like Levana portrays a strong image of strength, malice and apathy. Like Levana, there is no retribution for said character.
Yes, Azula can shoot lightning from her fingers.
The last episode of the show, however, is what I compare to Fairest. There's a new light shed on the characters, yet not enough to excuse their actions. You can see them somewhat descending into psychosis [see GIF below] which creates a rift: to pity or not to pity?
Levana gives off an obsessive vibe throughout the book, starting quietly in the beginning and only becoming more desperate as it ends. In Fairest, she's only sixteen, which really stuck out because she's so young to be a villain. She's insecure and almost pathetic, her thoughts bordering on psychopathic. I felt like these traits were perfectly executed as her insecurity really brought out the weakness in her.
Another gif of Azula, but also Levana.
What completely threw me off was how torn I was after turning the final page. For the most part, I was completely disgusted with her character. I can't say without spoiling what she does, but it's bad. I hated her so much. However, there was a part of me that completely felt for her. And that made me question who I am as a person. She's wrong and everything she did went against my moral compass, so why did I even feel bad?
See, Levana's insecurity bleeds through the pages in ways that a fellow insecure teenage girl understands. It was the way she was written. The villain is her own victim. I felt it while reading and that's what made this book completely unforgettable.
Again, this is a character driven novel. If you want more knowledge on Levana, letumosis, and the events that take place before The Lunar Chronicles, this story is for you. In terms of plot, it isn't that exciting but I like that. The plot doesn't take away from how Levana changes, which is such an interesting turn of events.
DO IT. I am seriously book pushing Marissa Meyer onto everyone I can.
I'm seeing Marrissa this Saturday, so I'll be getting my copy of Fairest then!! I can't wait. I don't mind that it's more about character development than anything else because I'm so fascinated by Levana. Love these books!
I wasn't sure what to expect, but plot driven was not it. I knew i was going to be more about character and I was totally blown away <33 And OMG LUCKY, I met her twice but that's not enough!
I loved this novella and I loved how more complex it made Levana. Isn't she messed up? The whole marriage thing omg!! I loved how character driven this was and you,re right she's def NOT misunderstood she's just really broken in her mind lol! Though no fault to her she just had a terrible childhood and really bad self worth issues.
The marriage thing Effed me up so hard. I actually PUT. THE. BOOK. DOWN. And then obviously because I was still curious, I picked it up a few minutes later, but still!
AHHHH!!! FAIREST!!! I am so excited for this book that I don't even know what to do with myself until I get my hands on it. I'm glad this isn't an "angel in disguise" story because those are so cliche, but at the same time, I like villains that I can sympathize with. No matter how evil a person is, he/she is still a person, and everyone has something sympathetic about him/her.
AMAZING review, Nova! I can't wait to get my hands on this book tomorrow!!! So excited to read this book. I mean it's MARISSA MEYER. AHHHHH!
I love books like this!I love it when villains get their own book,even when it's as twisted and complicated Fairest sounds like.I am looking forward to read this book!
Thanks for stopping by Chasing Faerytales!
LEVANA IS LIKE AZULA?? HECK YES. Don't get me wrong, I like when villains have sad stories leading to their evil actions. But villains who are evil just for the sake of being evil? Those twisted characters are on a whole other level. Those are the best and creepiest villains.
You're the only one who commented about that <3333 THANK YOU LORD.
AND YES YES YES <333 The sick to your stomach but sympathy feels are honestly so wicked. It's almost as bad as the feels you get when your favorite character dies.
Great review, lady! This was a hard one for me to read. I was so disgusted and horrified by Levana. There's that one moment - when we find out how she was disfigured - that had me sympathizing with her a little bit - but that quickly vanished by the time the story ended. She does such AWFUL things. Ugh. I hate her so much. But Marissa did an amazing job with her book!

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BridgeBio Pharma today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to acquire cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP; ALXN1101), a synthetic enzyme co-factor therapy for patients with the ultra-rare disease caused by molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) Type A. In addition, BridgeBio announced that it was launching a new subsidiary, Origin Biosciences, with sufficient capital to support clinical development of ALXN1101 through potential regulatory approval and commercialization.
MoCD is an ultra-rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism. The disease is caused by a mutation in the MOCS1 gene and leads to defective production of cPMP. Clinical signs of MoCD present shortly after birth and progress rapidly. Newborns with MoCD experience difficulty feeding and intractable seizures yet have no approved available therapies. Patients have a median survival of three years, and those who survive often have severe and irreversible injury to their central nervous system.
"Historically, replacing missing or defective proteins has proven highly efficacious for treating loss of function monogenic conditions – in the case of MoCD type A, we are replacing the missing or defective cPMP, providing children with much needed MoCD activity," said Michael Henderson, M.D., senior vice president of asset acquisition at BridgeBio. "BridgeBio's team is committed to continuing the development of ALXN1101 for infants born with MoCD Type A deficiency, their families and caregivers."
ALXN1101 is a synthetic version of cPMP, the missing cofactor causing MoCD Type A. In previous work with a recombinant form of cPMP, 11 patients with MoCD Type A had normalization of biomarkers within two days, eight patients showed some suppression of seizures, and three patients had near-normal development. ALXN1101 has received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the US FDA.
"Patients born with MoCD face a bleak future, and we will do all we can to pursue the development of this exciting compound, which has the potential to replace the missing enzyme," said Neil Kumar, Ph.D., CEO of BridgeBio. "BridgeBio aims to sustainably pursue even the rarest of diseases, such as MoCD, especially where we can support drug programs that target well described genetic diseases at their source."
While specific terms of the deal have not been disclosed, BridgeBio has committed sufficient resources to Origin Biosciences to enable clinical development, regulatory approval and to support commercialization of ALXN1101. Alexion will receive additional payments upon the realization of development and sales milestones.
Origin Biosciences, a subsidiary of BridgeBio Pharma, is a biotechnology company focused on cPMP replacement therapy for patients with molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) Type A. Origin's lead candidate will be a synthetic small-molecule replacement of cPMP.
Origin is led by a team of veteran biotechnology executives. Together with patients and physicians, the company aims to bring a safe, effective treatment for MoCD to market as quickly as possible.
BridgeBio is a clinical-stage biotech company developing novel, genetically targeted therapies to improve the lives of patients. The BridgeBio approach combines a traditional focus on drug development with a unique corporate model, allowing rapid translation of early stage science into medicines that treat disease at its source. Founded in 2015 by a team of industry veterans, the company has built a robust portfolio of nineteen transformative assets, each housed in its own subsidiary, ranging from pre-clinical to late stage development in multiple therapeutic areas including oncology, cardiology, dermatology and endocrinology. The company's focus on scientific excellence and rapid execution aims to translate today's discoveries into tomorrow's medicines.

New Delhi : The finance ministry on Thursday swore by the changes proposed in the banking law that it said will go a long way in effectively resolving the problem of bad loans plaguing the banking sector.
“It is not possible for me to put down a number on how this (non-performing assets or NPAs) will go down, but certainly we feel that these changes will make the system more effective in handling the bad loans,” Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa told reporters here.
The Cabinet on Wednesday approved promulgation of an ordinance to amend the Banking Regulation Act for resolution of the NPA problem. As per law, an ordinance has to be ratified by Parliament within 6 months of its promulgation. So, when the Monsoon Session begins, the law will be taken up by both the Houses for discussion and passage.
“The proposed amendments will enable banks and the RBI in the resolution of stressed asset cases,” Lavasa said, adding that the government will share details after the ordinance is notified.
Lavasa said that on the back of professionalism in the country’s banking system and with the participation of the promoters themselves, “we should be able to reach resolution in many of the cases”. After discussing the issue with stakeholders, the government came to the conclusion that some changes are necessary in the statute to effectively deal with the mounting bad loans in the banking sector, he said. Lavasa, however, did not disclose the details.
“In totality, the entire mechanism to deal with NPAs needs to be made more effective. After all, lending decisions are taken by bankers, so this (calls for) the bankers to apply themselves and take decision about changes required according to regulation. So, bankers have to sit down and work out which is a feasible step,” the secretary said.
He further said there is enough appetite in the market to buy stressed assets. “We should not judge the capacity that is there in the market because people do have appetite for investment in the Indian market.

We can look at this work as showing how the focusing tradition can be elaborated to explicitly include experiences of "enlightenment" and "the Presence of God within". But another way to look at it - and this would be more precise - is to say that in this workshop we will be exploring another schema and practice tradition for holding, for making accessible, kinds of experiencing that have excited Christians and Buddhists (and of course many others) down the ages.
This new approach, coming from Gendlin's work, can be understood as complimenting and supporting Buddhist and Christian practice - rather than as being in competition with them. In Western cultures we often assume, unselfconsciously, that there is one 'sayable truth' that corresponds with the way the world is - and thence that our journey of understanding is one of refining our theories and beliefs so that they get closer and closer to this exactly true description of reality. When we assume that, alternative models must be understood as conflicting with each other. But familiar experiences suggest that we should understand 'truth' in a different way.
If we (1) think of a person we love, then (2) imagine what we would say to describe them to someone else, then (3) ask how faithful what we would say is to our sense of the whole of our experience of them, the whole of who they are, then (4) typically we feel that there is much more to be said than we have managed to say, and, centrally, that some version of our sense of the whole of who they are has been present all along as we have tried to describe them. We have two kinds of 'rendering' in play here: a description in words and a radically different kind of 'description' in 'feeling' - in felt sense, in a Direct Referent - we have a 'description' in another kind of medium that is very familiar but has rarely been theorised about.
New procedures (practices, micropractices) that are derived from and leverage focusing practice and Gendlin's philosophical work, that support shifting into a deeper, stiller mode of experiencing that is characterised by intense Delight.
That although these kinds of experience may arise in focusing, they can't be adequately described using the conceptual models that Gendlin has used to describe classical focusing experiences (notably chapter VIII of A Process Model and Experiencing and the Creation of Meaning).
That these kinds of experience can be described via a major extension of A Process Model (a notional chapter IX). A Process Model is a model of how simple experiencing can be elaborated into more complex experiencing - roughly: how human experience is an elaboration of animal experience which in turn is an elaboration of plant experience. This extension shows how Wisdom-Compassion-Delight-... can arise as an elaboration of Direct Referencing.
These are discoveries of a 'first person science': a scientific study of first person experiencing as such - a study of how living in the world feels to us, how we can 'navigate', 'create', in complex situations, how we experience "presence".
That by developing an explicit route from Gendlin's research into an explication of these kinds of experiences, we claim them for Western scientific and philosophical research in a new way - as expressions of Western science and philosophy. The edge here is that 'enlightenment experiences' are not simply acknowledged: they are shown as a natural extension of simpler and more familiar kinds of processing. I think deriving these experiences from Gendlin's philosophy and practice provides us with a beachhead from which a further major carrying forward of mainstream Western culture is possible.
That by developing this route as a science, we make it possible for the development of insight in this area to be a collective process - not something dependent on the emergence of virtuoso practitioners. This, it seems to me, offers great hope to the rest of us.
the evolution of research into the nature of practice traditions ... in which questions like 'how do different kinds of practice instruction work?' and 'what kinds of experiencing are foregrounded in different practice traditions?' have a central place.
T: Don't decide. Just ask for what would be right, and leave it open what that would be.
C: I don't want to integrate; I just want whatever is right.
Affirming an unknown but physically felt rightness is a usefulprocedure." What the client does here is take a way of moving that has worked once for her as an instance, as an instance of a helpful way of moving. What worked once becomes a micropractice that she uses freshly in new situations where she feels "inwardly caught".
shifting into this deeper mode of processing. In my own practice I am at a point where, when I think of doing so, I can make shifts of this kind quite reliably. From a first person science point of view I am very curious about how well the instructions I use myself support others as they experiment with making this kind of shift themselves. So from this perspective, this workshop is itself a chunk of first person science research.
In this workshop we will experiment with some of these practices, using key concepts from A Process Model to help orient us. An example which may convey some of the potential of this approach is the following.
In A Process Model Gendlin's central metaphor for how new kinds of experiencing emerge is "pausing and doubling". Stopped process - a process that is iterating, paused, unable to carry forward - is the platform for major movements forward in consciousness, awakening; when a process stops, we reiterate, we pulse - this is an active carrying of the stopped process which Gendlin calls "pausing" - and this pulsation, because it is so repetitious, can function as a registry - fine differentiations in the pulsing convey new 'information' about the 'place' where experiencing as usual has paused: an experience of a new kind of 'space' can emerge. For example Direct Referencing (feeling 'felt senses') comes from finding that we don't have a word that fits what we want to say ... our speaking pauses ... Up till now our feeling of the 'meaning' of what we have been saying has not been foregrounded - our words have been in the limelight. But now we may begin to feel the 'meaning' that, so far, no words fit as such ... If we feel the meaning as such, then there has been a "jelling": a Direct Referent (felt sense) has "fallen out" in a new kind of "space". The emerging of the new kind of 'meaning' in a new kind of 'space' Gendlin calls a "doubling": the earlier process continues on, iterating - we are actively "pausing" - I am feeling the social situation in which I am poised to speak - but a new kind of "space" emerges also, so I am experiencing two kinds of "space", the social space, and the new kind of space we experience in focusing which is about what it is like to be "in" this social situation. My process has "doubled" - I am experiencing both the 'social space' I am in, and the new space in which the 'objects' ('felt senses') which fall out are "about" my being in the social space - a new kind of experience of 'meaning' has emerged.
Gendlin uses television as an analogy. The underlying process in a television display is projecting a series of straight lines on a screen. We see images of people etc because, in the television, a process that is receiving the television station's transmissions and a process that is projecting lines cross. We can look at the display on the television screen as either lines being projected, just in a somewhat different way, or as the image of people in conversation. There is one process occurring - the television displaying - but its meaning is "doubled": it is both 'displaying lines', and 'representing people'.
Now, Wouldn't it be a blessing if in some special way our focusing process was a stopped process? What might form in this space? I ask: how is Direct Referencing a stopped process?
So what registers in this loving carrying forward?
And what new kind of 'awareness' opens up here?
What new kind of 'environment', and occurring, and ...?
Noticing a way in which, as we are focusing, we are "pausing", iterating; that is, noticing a (possible) 'registry' in our processing. Examples from my experience include loving the feeling of carrying forward by Direct Referencing, feelings of greater spaciousness, and resting in 'comingness' - how everything we experience is coming to us, coming, coming, coming, ... These ways of noticing how our experience of focusing is an experience of pausing involve a kind of figure / ground shift within our Direct Referencing process: we heed iterating aspects of our Direct Referencing, rather than heeding changing aspects, such as a series of felt shifts.
We "hold" this (possible) registry constant - feeling the iterating, heeding the iterating - waiting to see if a new experience of 'meaning', a new kind of 'space', will fall out. At first this is not easy to do, because we are accustomed to continually moving forward in focusing - allowing Direct Referents to shift, carry forward, bring fresh insight in familiar ways.
As we grasp how to experience focusing as "pausing", we can relax into "letting", allowing a new kind of experience of 'meaning', a new kind of 'space', to fall out. We cannot "make" a new space emerge, a new experience of meaning fall out, we can only allow it to fall out ... but as we grow more skilled at living Direct Referencing as pausing, we may find that a new experience of how it feels to be a Direct Referencing being falls out, we experience ourselves as Direct Referencing beings as such.
In the workshop we will work through some practices like this slowly, exploring experientially how Gendlin's terms are a good fit for how feeling felt senses arises in, and through, social life, and then experimenting with how a new kind of experiencing may, in an analogous fashion, arise in, and through, focusing practice.

A new walkers' website created by Wiltshire rambler Trevor Walker (yes that IS his real name!) promises to inspire the most weary of walkers who are looking for new routes and rambles.
Trevor's favourite walk: "I am often asked about my favourite walk and avoid answering because my taste changes. However, if pushed, I would say Castle Combe to Ford, primarily because it was my first taste of Wiltshire and it has happy memories of walking with my father."
Walkweb features 21 walks in Wiltshire and seven in Gloucestershire.
Walks range from four miles to ten miles in length.
Each walk comprises a description and details of how to find the start point; map references and compass bearings; points of interest and places to eat and drink.
Trevor, who lives in Chippenham, has been a keen walker for many years, walking his way through the UK, Europe, and the USA.
Getting away from it all: one of Wiltshire's byways.
"I was born before Gore-Tex was invented, and survived! I moved from London 25 years ago and can still taste the freshness of Wiltshire air each morning," he says.
As a keen member of the Ramblers' Association (he served as Wiltshire Area Chairman before pressure of work forced him to give it up), Trevor hopes to make good use of the experience he's gleaned over the years.
With this in mind, one of the projects that he's embarked on is the Walkweb website, a new resource for people keen to explore routes around Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
The website includes a selection of walking routes complete with maps, details of places to eat and drink, points of interest and help for those new to countryside walking & navigation.
There's also an opportunity to submit your favourite walk to the website, helping others to share in your love of a preferred route.
One other aspect of Walkweb is a route sponsorship scheme for anyone wanting to support the ideals of the website.
Trevor says: "I realised that many people who visited the countryside did not venture far from their car for fear of getting lost or facing an irate landowner.
"Some had tried and given up because the intricacies of map reading or an out of date guide book had led them astray and I began to think how I could improve things.
"Publishing my own experiences on the Internet seemed a perfect solution. This led to the central theme of my website - encouraging others to enjoy the outdoors."
Trevor believes that Wiltshire is seriously underrated as a place to walk and suggests that the county has lived under the shadow of the very popular Cotswolds for far too long.
"We have villages as good as any in the Cotswolds, throw in our sweeping downland, add the proliferation of historic sites such as Stonehenge and what do you have, something unique with a taste of its own," Trevor argues.
On the Route Introduction page of Walkweb Trevor has portrayed what each walk means to him in the hope that his enthusiasm will be infectious. "Get out there and enjoy Wiltshire", is his simple message.
So what does Trevor himself make of the countryside he loves to explore?
At the heart of every walk is an opportunity to relax he suggests.
"The very minute my eyes lift to the horizon my spirits start to soar, I begin to wonder what's over the next hill or round the next corner and my cares drop away; I come alive again.
Even when the weather is bad or the route is hard and tiring I slip into a mellow haze after a day's walking, what more could you want?"
STOP PRESS: See Trevor's latest Wiltshire walk, which reflects the countryside around those villages featured in BBC 2's "A Country Parish" series. Click here for more.

In a shiny 12-storey building in Bishopsgate, on the edge of the Square Mile, is a company that represents the last faint echo of a time when one family ran the two biggest breweries in the world.
The City of London Investment Trust is, today, a £1 billion business with investments in everything from pharmaceuticals to mining, and power supply to media, and a record of increasing its dividend every year for the past half-century. But the firm started in 1860 as the City of London Brewery Co, and its roots lie in the brewing industry as far back as the 15th century.
The family that dominated the early history of the concern were the Calverts, landowners from East Hertfordshire, who married into ownership of, first the Peacock brewhouse in Whitecross Street, by the Barbican, on the northern side of the City of London, and then the Hour Glass brewhouse, three quarters of a mile away off Thames Street, by the river. In the middle of the 18th century these were the two biggest porter breweries in London, and, therefore, the biggest breweries in the world.
However, the Calverts today are much less well known than their rivals, such as Whitbread, Truman and Barclay Perkins, in part because the family name was taken off the business in the middle of the 19th century, partly because no physical trace remains of their brewing sites and partly because the firm they founded did not quit brewing so much as drift away from it. But one big reason for the Calverts’ current obscurity is the extreme difficulty involved in untangling the dense thicket that is their family tree, as the descendants of Felix, Thomas and Peter Calvert, the three sons of Felix Calverd (sic) the family’s 17th century patriarch, spread out and multiplied down the years.
The common habit of using the same first names down and across generations means that after the first Felix Calvert, or Calverd, was born in 1596 there were 12 Felix Calverts, seven William Calverts and seven Peter Calverts in the 17th to 19th centuries. Thanks to cousin marriage, one Felix Calvert, 1729-1764, a partner in the Peacock brewhouse, had a father also called Felix Calvert, and both his grandfathers were called Felix Calvert as well, while his great-grandfather’s great-nephew, Felix Calvert 1735-1802 (who also had a son called Felix Calvert), was a partner in the rival Hour Glass brewhouse.
The result is that there has not been a book or article mentioning the Calverts and their breweries that does not have major facts wrong. One book from 2011 has six errors in one six-line paragraph. Another recent publication called a high-profile member of the clan, Sir William Calvert, “the grandson of Thomas Calvert”, adding: “though there is some confusion in various books”. Indeed: Thomas was actually the one son of Felix Calverd that Sir William was not descended from. Cousin marriage meant his father (another William) was the son of Felix junior while his mother Honor was the daughter of Felix junior’s and Thomas’s brother Peter. The Museum of London Archaeology managed to invent a completely fictitious member of the family, “Henry”, and get the date the family acquired the Hour Glass brewhouse totally wrong.
Hurrah and thrice hurrah, then, for Patricia Richardson – herself a tenth-generation descendant of Felix the patriarch – who has pulled apart all the different Calvert strands and published a book that is a readable, illuminating and fascinating telling of what could more than easily have been an extremely confusing story. She has solved the problem of tracing all those Felixes, Williams, Peters and the rest by labelling the families of Felix Calverd’s three sons A, B and C, and then numbering each new bearer of an old first name consecutively within the stream, so that, for example, Felix Calvert 1729-1764 of the Peacock brewery is Felix Calvert B3, his grandfathers are Felix Calvert B1 and C1 respectively, and his distant cousin at the Hour Glass brewery, Felix Calvert 1735-1802, is Felix Calvert A4.

Israel’s top oversight agency on Tuesday warned that both critical infrastructure and the country’s civilian sector are woefully unprepared to face the substantial threat of cyber attacks.
The full text of State Comptroller Joseph Shapira’s classified 36-page report was not made public so as not to disclose the full extent of Israel’s vulnerability, but a six-page executive summary said that a concerning amount of the country’s infrastructure is reliant on electronic platforms that remain vulnerable to cyber attacks.
Shapira said that while certain “national critical infrastructure” sectors are well-insulated against such attacks, some elements have yet to fully implement protective measures and a significant proportion of the country’s civilian sector functions remain vulnerable.
The report revealed that several entities deemed as critical state infrastructure have not fully complied with measures for protecting computer systems required by the Shin Bet domestic security agency, which oversees military cyber-defense and critical civilian infrastructure such as the railways, air-and seaports and power and electrical installations.
Shapira said that failure to comply with the directives “places essential national infrastructure or the business activity [of the entity] at risk.” Shapira called on the Shin Bet to report to the boards of directors of those entities who have yet to comply and to consider taking legal action to force their cooperation.
The report also criticized the National Cyber Bureau and the new National Cyber Security Authority, responsible for overseeing cyber security in the civilian sector, for not keeping pace with the growing threats.
Shapira lamented that despite years of work, the National Cyber Bureau has yet to complete an important survey of civilian-sector entities in order to determine the extent of their vulnerabilities.
“By virtue of its responsibility, the bureau should have seen to it that the extent of the problem that it was dealing with was defined when it comes to civilian sector cybersecurity; that the fields and entities that needed to be protected be determined; and [that it be decided] how this needed to be addressed and what resources would be invested,” Shapira wrote.
Shapira pointed to recent global cyber hacks and the alleged interference in the United States electoral process by cyber hackers as evidence that cyber attacks are increasing in both magnitude and sophistication.
The report addressed several other topics including the environment, transportation safety, the safety of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and issues related to the maintenance of the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem’s Old City.
Shapira was especially critical of Israel’s Ministry of Education, after an investigation found that the ministry’s budget — one of the government’s largest — has been seriously mismanaged.
The report noted that while the education budget has increased steadily over the last few years in comparison with other OECD countries, Israel still has one of the largest educational gaps in the developed world.
A report published in June by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) found significant discrepancies in education among different Israeli demographics, notably in terms of economic status and between Jewish and Arab residents.
The OECD report also found Israelis’ mathematics, reading, and problem-solving skills lag behind other developed countries, with nearly a third of Israelis lacking basic math skills.

The exhilaration of the MX-5 Miata convertible is more than the sensation of carving through S-curves with the wind in your hair. It’s an all-encompassing experience, and it starts the moment you see it. So whether you choose the classic Black or newly available Dark Cherry soft top, the reward will be just as sweet.
TOP DOWN, HEART RATE UP.
The MX-5 Miata's iconic soft-top can be unlocked and dropped in one step and with one hand, right from the driver’s seat. Should the weather or your preference change, the “assist spring” mechanism makes closing the top just as easy.
The MX-5 Miata becomes nearly perfectly balanced when you are sitting in the driver’s seat. Distributing the car’s weight evenly between the front and rear helps to enhance directional control and cornering stability.
Wherever possible, the MX-5 Miata underwent painstaking weight loss. Even the window glass is lighter. The MX-5 Miata is nearly a half-inch lower in height and has undergone a weight loss of more than 148 pounds from the previous generation, bringing its curb weight down to 2,332 pounds for manual transmission models. You may not see it, but you’ll feel it, as SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY1 contributes to the MX-5 Miata's lightness and responsiveness. In and out of every corner.
The MX-5 Miata's 6-speed manual transmission is smaller and lighter than the previous generation’s, but keeps its famed short-throw precision. Or choose the 6-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Highly rigid yet incredibly lightweight, the SKYACTIV®1-Chassis resists torsion during aggressive cornering and plays a key role in the MX-5 Miata's celebrated nimbleness and stability.
The original Miata changed the face of motoring by bringing pure joy back to driving. And over a million MX-5 Miatas later, that legacy lives on. We made the car. You made it the best-selling roadster of all time.
Unwavering love for the MX-5 Miata has spawned owners’ clubs all over the world, and we try to send the love right back by supporting them in any way we can. As a result, our calendars are filled with day trips, rallies, road runs, overnight excursions, track days, tech sessions, car talks and motorsports events. To find a group or event near you, email us at clubinfo@mazdausa.com.
In Japanese culture, Jinba Ittai refers to the symbiotic oneness between horse and rider. We emulate this sensation by engineering cars that respond exactly to how the driver expects. No car embodies this ideal more strongly than the MX‑5‑Miata. And it started with the introduction of the very first one back in 1989.
With available i-ACTIVSENSE® safety innovations, the answer is yes. They use advanced technologies like milliwave radars and cameras, to give you a sixth sense for safety, helping to alert you to hazards before they happen.

The world‐famous Acropolis in ancient Athens, delicious Mediterranean food, friendly locals and the beautiful beaches from Mamma Mia! … Greece certainly offers many gems to discover!
My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016) – not actually filmed in Greece. Nevertheless, these two romantic comedies about Chicago‐based Greek emigrants are still great movies to learn more about Greek culture.
Most people visit Greece in the summertime, although cities such as Thessaloniki and Athens can be visited all‐year‐round.
Many Greeks go on their annual holidays in August (roughly between the 1st and 20th). During this time, the tourists will have the cities almost to themselves, but the islands may be busy.
The Acropolis in Athens is pretty busy throughout the summer season from 1st of April to the end of October. But if you go in May or June (like I did), it's not as crowded yet.
Some of the Greek islands are year‐round destinations. Others, such as the "Mamma Mia! islands" of Skiathos and Skopelos, are not. The season here runs roughly from May and until mid‐October. Outside of the summer season, all tourist‐related companies and restaurants will be closed.
Thessaloniki is the second biggest city in Greece by population. As such, it offers many international flight connections and is easy to get to.
In the summertime, the nearby Chalkidiki peninsula is great for relaxing at the beaches, so you can easily combine a beach holiday with a city trip here.
Interesting fact for film fans: Thessaloniki is also known for hosting one of the most important film festivals in Europe every year in November.
The ancient city of Athens is one of the most exciting places in Europe and the world‐famous Acropolis a must‐do on many people's bucket lists.
However, in such a busy city, deciding where to go and what to do can be quite overwhelming – especially for first‐time visitors with limited time.
So in my post A Quick Film Fan’s Guide to Athens, I share my best tips on how to make the most of limited time in Athens… film fan style!
Perhaps the most famous film to ever having been filmed in Greece is the musical hit movie Mamma Mia! (2008). Most of its filming locations can be found on the Greek islands of Skiathos and Skopelos in the northwest Aegean Sea.
Other popular Greek islands include Crete, Corfu, Rhodes, Mykonos, and Santorini. Just check out the films above for more film‐inspired Greek island destinations.
In the cities: If you stay somewhere central, you can easily walk everywhere. Otherwise, there are public busses. Athens also has an underground metro. Taxis are not too badly priced either. Finally, Hop On / Hop Off busses are a good choice to get around, especially if you are limited on time.
To get from city to city and to the islands: To get to the islands, you can either fly from cities such as Thessaloniki or Athens or take the train and then the ferry. I found the trains to be pretty good (with air‐conditioning and seat reservations). They were also reasonably priced, even if booked shortly before the day of travelling.
For flights, check out Aegean Airlines. Train tickets can be booked via the national Greek rail website TrainOSE and ferry tickets via ANES Lines ferries or Golden Star ferries.
On the islands: You can do as the locals do and rent a scooter. For maximum flexibility, you should rent a car. However, there are also many tours available, such as the Mamma Mia! Film Locations Tour on the island of Skopelos, with certainly is the most convenient (and film‐inspired) way to get to know the island.
You can never go wrong with a classic Greek salad, which you can get everywhere of course.
As I am a vegetarian, I did have my doubts about the heavily meat‐based Greek cuisine. But when I came here, I found that there were a lot more vegetarian options than I had anticipated, such as "Vegan Gyros" in Athens, or a good choice of grilled vegetables on the island of Skopelos.
Most of time though, I went with my favourite dish ever – Spaghetti Napoli (sometimes with a Greek twist).
For dessert, Greek yoghurt with fruits or nuts is always a great choice.
1. Wear a hat and sunglasses in hot places like the Acropolis. You’ll be easily recognizable as a tourist, but it’s better than to get sunburnt.
2. Drink water! It's important to keep hydrated. As far as I know, you can drink tap water in most places, but if you always drink water from bottle (like I did), you'll definitely be on the safe side. A bottle of 0,5 l of water should only cost you 50 Euro cents anyways, so it's pretty cheap. Plus, water from the bottle will usually come ice cold.
3. Siesta hours: During the hot summer months, many Greeks like to take a "siesta" between 1 and 5 pm. Some churches and other places of interest might be closed then.
5. Credit Cards (including contactless) are widely accepted, but not everywhere. So bring some cash just in case.
6. Tipping practices are very much like in the rest of Europe. You usually "round the bill" or give about 10–20 % in restaurants with table service. In my experience, tipping taxi drivers is not really expected.
9. Toilets: Most places have signs not to throw toilet paper in the toilets, so it’s best to get used to it.

text: Slice cucumbers and other vegetables. Layer them in a bowl or crock with garlic and onion, if you like. Make a basic brine using the following measurements: 1 1/2 parts cider vinegar, 1 part sugar, 1 part water, a little salt, and (if you like the color) a little turmeric. Combine all of these ingredients together in a pot, place the pot over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Simmer the brine for just a few seconds, then pour it over the vegetables. Refrigerate the bowl and the pickles will be ready in an hour or so. Simple as that.

In December 1913, after discussing the German submarine programme, the Admiralty decided that they should prepare a design for an overseas patrol boat of about E Class surface displacement, of partial double-hull construction and with single 21-inch torpedo tubes forward and aft and two 18-inch beam tubes. This would be the G Class.
In June 1914, five G Class submarines, G1 to G5, were ordered from Chatham Dockyard and one month later G6 and G7 were ordered from Armstrong Whitworth.
In November 1914, Vickers were given orders for six more boats, G8 to G13, and to build the engines for four of the class building at Chatham. G14 was ordered from Scotts on the Clyde.
Costing an estimated £125 000, the G Class were twin-shafted vessels, with two eight-cylinder diesels that together generated 1600 bhp, giving a surface speed of 14 knots. Two single armature motors, each of 420 bhp, gave a submerged speed of 9 knots. The class carried 200 cells in two battery tanks, which gave a submerged endurance of 95 miles at 3 knots.
Early war experience gained by other classes led to the proposed G Class armament being changed to two 18-inch bow tubes, two 18-inch beam tubes and one 21-inch stern tube. This signalled the beginning of the 21-inch torpedo in Royal Navy submarines, although the experimental submarine Swordfish ordered from Scotts a year earlier but launched after G1, was also fitted with 21-inch tubes. The class also carried one 3-inch Quick Fire High Angle (OF HA) gun which was fitted just forward of the bridge and a portable 2-pounder which could be fixed to a pedestal at the after end of the bridge.
Living conditions on board were considered by crew members to be good because the G boats boasted such luxuries as an electric oven!
Although the designed diving depth of the G Class was given as 200 feet, the operational depth was probably 100 feet. However, it was noted that in 'an exceptional circumstance one G boat dived to 170 feet when chased by mistake by British destroyers'.
During the First World War G7, G8 and G11 were lost on active service through unknown causes and in September 1917. G9 was sunk in error by HMS Petard off the Norwegian coast. Of those that survived, four were taken out of service at the end of the war and the remaining six were withdrawn from service in January 1921.

Do we want to grow or not?
After living here in rural southern Colorado for the past few years, I am often struck by my ambivalence towards attracting more people to this area. One thing is for sure, they are coming!
Each summer I see more people coming here to vacation and look for land or homes. The general trend is lots of Texans seeking a cooler place to summer, but I am now seeing more cars and RVs from other states, even as far away as New York!
And who can blame them? With sunsets like these, and towering peaks just a few miles off of Interstate 25, with rolling hills full of wildflowers, and cute little towns like La Veta, this place is some kind of paradise for nature lovers.
It’s not just me either. I checked with a local realtor this morning. She said the past few years have been “fabulous.” Our local water district reports that after five years with almost no requests for new water taps or hookups, they have received twelve requests in the past two months.
The 2008 recession hit this area very hard. Huerfano County still has one of the highest unemployment rates in our state, so it’s good to see things picking up and new businesses opening in Walsenburg and La Veta. My only fear is that too many people will move here and ruin our rural, relaxed atmosphere. Our saving grace seems to be how many choose to go elsewhere for winter.
I met a very interesting woman here a few months ago. She has lived in Aspen for the past forty years, and she cautioned us about telling too many people about this place. She hates to see what happened to Aspen, with a median home price of $1.5 million. I understand that kind of caution, because I first moved to Boulder in 1966. I saw so much change there over the decades, and most of it not good.
I cannot see Walsenburg turning into Aspen any time soon, but I would hate to lose the natural beauty and quiet that makes this such a great place to call home.
Did you ever wonder what it feels like to move to a very culturally different place to live a very different kind of life? Here’s what that feels like….
A Happy New Day at Hippie Days in Gardner Colorado!
For the past two years we haven’t been able to attend. Last year we were moving the end of July, but this year we finally made it!
Here’s the first, and one of the coolest things we saw! This 1961 VW van was on the way to the junk yard when these folks picked it up for $113. It was stripped down, but they now tow it around with a water bed in the back. How cool is that?
even the camping in the back of the venue.
This, of course, made me start thinking, my own personal addiction. How come I’ve never related to hippies? First of all I was born a little late for the whole hippie movement, and second I’ve always been too serious and scholarly for that lifestyle.
We still have one of the original hippie communes in our county, and some of the residents have lived there most of their lives. It’s hard for me to imagine living out in the country with no land ownership, building your own home, etc.
But I did LOVE that purple van with its COOL shiny crystal balls!
Postscript, June 2018: There was no Hippie Days last summer. New word: Hippie Days will be held on July 27th and 28th in Gardner this summer!

Thiol- and selenol containing proteins have a high affinity for binding metals which contributes to the target site – brain – distribution of such toxicants (Farina, 2011).
Another important group of thiol-containing proteins are the metal-binging detoxifying metallothioneins. This protein family bind mercury and lead, and this binding thus serves as a protective mechanism and also protects against metal toxicity and oxidative stress (Aschner, 2006).

The extension will be only until April 12 if the British Parliament refuses once again to adopt May’s Brexit deal with the EU.
The leaders of the EU 27 have agreed to grant the UK an extension on Brexit by delaying it until May 22, 2019 – the day right before the start of the 2019 European Parliament Elections (May 23-26, 2019) – even though British leader May asked for June 30.
The extension until May 22, however, is conditional on the British Parliament’s adoption of the already negotiated and amended Brexit deal.
Should the legislature in London reject May’s Brexit deal with the EU for the third time, the Union would then delay the UK’s departure only until April 12, 2019.
May and the leaders of the EU 27 met for an European Council Summit in Brussels on Thursday to discuss precisely the Brexit extension, with just a week left before the originally set Brexit date of March 29, 2019.
The options for the May 22 and April 12 Brexit delays are laid out in a draft document on the conclusions of Thursday’s European Council Summit cited by the BBC.
“The European Council agrees to an extension until 22 May 2019, provided the Withdrawal Agreement is approved by the House of Commons next week,” the draft EUCO conclusions read.
“If the Withdrawal Agreement is not approved by the House of Commons next week, the European Council agrees to an extension until 12 April 2019 and expects the UK to indicate a way forward before this date for consideration by the European Council,” the conclusions add.
A day before the European Council Summit, on Wednesday, its President Donald Tusk, received a formal letter request from British Prime Minister Theresa May that the EU agree to put off Brexit until June 30, 2019.
May asked the Union for a Brexit extension after last week the British MPs rejected her withdrawal deal for the second time, and then House of Commons Speaker John Bercow unexpectedly intervened to prevent a third vote on “substantially the same” motion.
Then in a late night speech on Wednesday, the British leader accused the Parliament in London of failing to hold decisive votes when necessary.
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged to fight “to the last hour” to prevent a no-deal Brexit, and declared the EU would have an “open door” for closer cooperation with Britain despite its departure.
The wording of Thursday’s European Council Summit conclusions on the Brexit delay until the last day before the 2019 EU Elections (or until April 12, depending on the widely anticipated third vote in the British Parliament) is said to have been driven by France and Germany.
The European Commission, the EU executive, has been opposed to granting the UK a Brexit extension until June 30, as requested, precisely because of the European Parliament Elections.
It had argued that Britain should either leave before the EU parliament vote, or remain in the Union at least until the end of 2019 so that it can elect its own MEPs one more time.
Meanwhile, a petition to cancel Brexit has surpassed a million signatories at a rate unseen before for the British Parliament website.

My partner Holly and I have just leased a property from you guys, and I just wanted to let you know that Krystal was fantastic throughout the whole process.
She was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and we were delighted the whole process took under 4 days from inspection to approval.
I’ll certainly be recommending Niche and Krystal to our friends.
Thank you so much for everything Krystal, you are the best.
I am pleased to recommend Niche Portfolio as a leasing agent. Sonia and Krystal were most pleasant and professional to work with. They made themselves available at all times, even after-hours and responded to my phone calls and emails promptly. They were very resourceful at times when problems arose. I have every confidence in their ability to continue working in my and my property's best interest.
I would like to acknowledge Krystal, who has been responsive and professional in her association with us- a genuine asset of your company.
You deserve a gold star! You were accommodating and provided timely feedback and offered us the flexibility we needed too. I wish I actually had more people with your attitude working for "me!"
