The Science of Rainbows

Yesterday, the boys and I made this collage rainbow. It was a nice sensory activity and younger son enjoyed wrapping himself in the different fabrics.

Last night I could not sleep and it occurred to me that the rainbow seems to have become the symbol of lockdown 2020. I am slowly reading “The walker’s guide to outdoor clues and signs” by Tristan Gooley. I had happened to be at the section which explains how and why rainbows occur. Every time I pick this book up, I am just blown away with his observations and it is by far the most interesting book I have read in years. I thought I would share some of the science with you.

We all learn from childhood that we do not get a rainbow, without the rain. But two other elements are required: the sun and an observer standing between the sun and the rain. The time of day is also part of the magical equation so it is not surprising that rainbows are a fairly rare occurrence.

Rainbows don’t appear as a constant size and this is to do with your altitude. For a rainbow to occur, the sun needs to be behind you and the rain cloud in front of the. The light reflecting through the raindrops acts as tiny prisms, splitting the light. If the rainbow were a whole circle, the centre of this circle would be exactly opposite the sun and this is called the antisolar point. Not only is the centre of the circle predictable, it will have a radius of exactly 42 degrees. In laymans terms, this is four extended fist widths.

Diagram curtesy of Tristan Gooley

This information tells us a few things. Firstly, rainbows cannot occur in the middle of the day. When the sun is high in the sky, the centre of this circle would be under ground. Therefore, you will only see stunning rainbows towards either sun rise or sunset.

If you can fee which way the wind is blowing, the rainbow gives you one of two weather signals: it is either about to start hammering down, or it is about to rapidly improve into glorious sunshine! If the wind is coming towards you from the rainbow, get some weather proofs on. It the wind blowing towards the rainbow, enjoy the sun.

Rainbows can also appear very vibrant in colour, or quite pale and watered down. This is to do with the size of the raindrops.

“Very bright violet and green bands, with a clear red band, but very little blue OR the top of the bow appears less bright – Raindrops are big, over 1mm in diameter.

Red is noticeably weak in colour, but still visible – medium sized raindrops.

The bow is pale, violet is the only bright colour, you see a distinct white stripe or red has disappeared – Raindrops are small.”

(The walker’s guide to outdoor clues and signs, Gooley,T, 2014)

And what about this? The double rainbow. You often get a bright conventional rainbow, with a paler inverted colour rainbow and a very dark section of sky between them. Why would this occur? This, if you were lost out in the wilderness could give you an excellent clue as to a significant land mark as these can only occur where there is a large and still body of water such as a lake, or calm sea.

All the science aside. Who does not love a rainbow? It seems to be a universal human truth that we see them and stare in awe. They are special and exciting and rare. So during our lockdown time, I am trying to view all this family time in a similar way: special, exciting and rare.

How is Lock down going?

I have to be honest, I am quite enjoying myself so far, but we are all on a massive learning curve. I have discovered that both boys have developed some strange habits from school.

Making a sculpture garden

Firstly, they insist on shovelling their lunch down as fast as humanly possible, avoiding any contact with cutlery if possible. This has come about from the idea that they get more play time if they eat fast. This is so extreme, I have worried they will choke a few times. “Cut the meatballs!!! For Gods sake!” The one thing we do have dear children, is time.

Secondly, they have no independence. Older son walked upstairs to find me yesterday while I had escaped to the shower. “I can’t find the butter.” he shouted through the door. I have realised the drill now. I shout back “Have you tried looking?” …. “No.” he replies. “Find a solution. I am in the shower. I am not coming back down.”

Cooking sausages on the fire

The “Home school” has been the biggest eye opener. Their answer to everything is “I am rubbish at X.” They are not, coincidently rubbish at playing online with their mates on Minecraft. They totally fear failure. There is a lot of crying, lying on the floor, blaming the brother for “distracting them.” There is a lot of “Can you help me?” which actually means “Can you do this for me?”

Poet – tree

But when you can coach them out of it (rather than teach) the outcomes have been magnificent. The issue with teaching is that we are looking for a predefined answer. Coaching involves wholistic development of the individual to improve within the best of their ability and at their pace. It is not competitive. They are not being compared to their peers. They are problem solving, rather than being given the answer. They are thriving within their own zone of proximal development. They are energised by challenge (mostly).

My biggest challenge has been keeping my temper. No one can press your buttons like your own children, add to that a highly stressful situation and no foreseeable income from us both being self employed, and it is a total temper bomb waiting to explode. I hope that we all manage to survive this things mostly unscathed with an intact marriage and untraumatized children. I would prefer not to have a mental breakdown, if at all possible. And so I am writing down our daily achievements as a way to stop me from going mad. And when this is all over, I am going to party like it’s 1999.

Film making: Garden kingdom

Teddy and I have spent two days learning how to take film, edit it, make voice over explanation and add music and text. He then researched the things we found in the garden and put it all together. He and his brother then made a wormery to study their behaviour and investigate how they process soil.

Story stones

I made this film on Saturday before we went into total lock down in the UK. But I thought it was still worth sharing on the basis that you could hide them around your house, or garden and use them as a tool to engage kids in a dialogue about language, narrative, creative thought and problem solving.

Please share photos of things you make to me and I will add them to the digital art gallery.

Into the wild: Connection day

I think one of the biggest challenges over the next few weeks is that we are not going to be able to see the people who are dear and special to us. I have had to explain to both my kids that the plans for their birthdays will have to change. The parties are cancelled. The birthday meal won’t happen at a restaurant. And there will not be sleep overs for the foreseeable. This has been painful for us all and so I tried to find a way of bringing us a little closer.

We all chose one person we were going to miss and we went to the post office to buy stamps. It felt like I had not done this for years! We then asked what the maximum weight was which we could post and at home put together a special package.

I got the boys to write a letter, something I realised they had never done before. I explained that you write your address in the top, right hand corner. They could not tell me their full address so even this was a learning process. We then put the date and started with Dear ……., . We talked about how to end letters. They said they did not know what to write about. “Just tell them what you did today, what you are looking forward to and that you love and miss them. “

We did some collage with some coloured tissue paper and we printed off some photos of fun times together. I explained about where you put the stamp. We weighed our parcels to make sure they were not bigger than 100g (sneaky maths).

Home learning is not about work sheets, or online tutorials. It is experiential and meaningful learning and I do find myself pondering the question: how much of what is taught in school is truly useful?

For some years now we have been in a child mental health crisis. four out of five training days last year were dedicated to the topic. I think it will be interesting to see if this period of “unschooling” will tip everyone over the edge, or come out the other side much happier? And will literacy levels go up or down? These kids are tested so frequently that it would be an easy thing to test come September. The education system will have to ask itself some big questions. Interesting times!

SENsory Forest school: Rocks

What did we learn?

We learned to speak to each other. We learned to share and communicate, and value the opinion of others. We realised that there is not one tool per person . We worked a system around it. It was based on community and fairness and patience and tolerance. It was hard. It caused controlled explosions. We worked through it.

There were some big arguments this week. The adults could not always resole them. It was ok. There was some big arguments with the adults. It could not be resolved. It was good for the kids to see. I use a phrase with my son which will not work for some years to come: “That happens sometimes.” When he cannot cope because I had said that we would go to the park after school, but then storm ” sabotage” comes in and it’s cold and rainy and horrid. “That happens sometimes”. BUT YOU SAID WE WERE GOING TO THE PARK.

Someone very dear to me asked me recently if I would (honesty) rather live without autism in my life. But genuinely, it would be like living with the storm without the rainbow.

Your Kid’s Savings Account {FREE PRINTABLE}

Why Is It Important for Kids to Know How To Save?

To teach saving to children is to teach them about the concept of scarcity. In life, we will only earn a limited amount of money and often, we can’t spend all the money we get all at once because we have to spend them on the NEEDS before we can spend on our WANTS.

What Do People Save For?

  • Emergency Fund (not very relevant to children)
  • To afford an expensive item (e.g. a bicycle, roller-blades, etc)
  • To afford a vacation (again, not very relevant to children)
  • To invest (Investor Kiddo teaches your child how to invest)

How Can A Child Start To Save?

In our family, we start the kids when they receive pocket money. I believe for most families, that’s when children start schooling (Primary 1). We give our children slightly more than they would need to purchase snack/lunch during their break, usually around 50 cents extra. The important part is to let them know that they can choose what to do with the extra money. They can either buy stuff from the school’s bookshop for fun (e.g. slime, cute pencils, etc) OR they can bring home the money, put it into their piggy bank and save up for something they’ve been wanting to get for a long while.

To encourage them, we told them we will contribute half of the price of the item they’re saving for. For example, if they’re saving for a bicycle that costs $100, they will only need to save $50 and we will contribute $50 to get that bike. It’s a bit daunting to save a couple of cents a day for an item that costs $100.

What You’ll Need

  • The “My Savings” Printable
  • A piggy bank
  • A calculator (for younger children)
  • A writing instrument (pen, pencil, marker, etc)

The printable is really simple to use. It’s made for kids to understand how savings accumulate. Every time they put their savings into their piggy bank, they will record the date, the amount they put in (under “saved) and write the accumulated amount in the “total”. As time goes on, the number in each “total” bag will increase and they will be encouraged to consistently save when they see that they’re getting closer to their goal.

You will need to print out multiple copies and arrange them in a file.

Syfy Turning Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End Into A Miniseries

Illustration for article titled Syfy Turning Arthur C. Clarkes emChildhoods End/em Into A Miniseries

After weeks of speculating, it's official: Syfy will turn Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End into a six-hour miniseries. And it's going to premiere next year. But don't fret, the folks attached to it give us a lot of hope for this project.

Syfy has officially announced via press release that Akiva Goldsman (Lone Survivor, A Beautiful Mind, I Am Legend) and Mike De Luca (Captain Philips, Moneyball, The Social Network) are on as executive producers. The book itself will be adapted by Matthew Graham (creator of BBC's Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes). And the pilot already has a director, Nick Hurran from Sherlock: His Last Vow and Doctor Who. And to that we say, "Hell yes." We like all those people involved in the positions they have been assigned to.

OH YEAH. If you haven't read the novel, you should. It's a scifi gamechanger and just the absolute best. The story is about benevolent aliens who try to help the human race. It's basically a peaceful alien invasion of Earth by those we dub "Overlords." Their arrival marks the beginning of peace for humanity... but at what cost? Can't wait!

Three Stocks To Consider in Case of a Market Rally

In the last five trading days (September 9 – September 15) the broad stock market traded within a consolidation following the recent sell-off. The S&P 500 index set new record high of 3,588.11 on Wednesday, September 2. But then the market sold off by almost 280 points and it fell below February 19 high of 3,393.52 again. Half a year ago on March 23, S&P 500 sold off to new medium-term low of 2,191.86. It was a stunning 35.4% below February 19 record high of 3,393.52. The corona virus and economic slowdown fears erased more than a third of the broad stock market value. But since then stocks rallied 63.7%. The recent decline looks like a downward correction so far.

The S&P 500 index has gained 0.93% between September 9 and September 15. In the same period of time our five long and five short stock picks have lost 0.15%. So stock picks were relatively weaker than the broad stock market. Our long stock picks have gained 1.07%, but short stock picks have resulted in a loss of 1.37%.

There are risks that couldn’t be avoided in trading. Hence the need for proper money management and a relatively diversified stock portfolio. This is especially important if trading on a time basis – without using stop-loss/ profit target levels. We are just buying or selling stocks at open on Wednesday and selling or buying them back at close on the next Tuesday.

If stocks were in a prolonged downtrend, being able to profit anyway, would be extremely valuable. Of course, it’s not the point of our Stock Pick Updates to forecast where the general stock market is likely to move, but rather to provide you with stocks that are likely to generate profits regardless of what the S&P does.

This means that our overall stock-picking performance can be summarized on the chart below. The assumptions are: starting with $100k, no leverage used. The data before Dec 24, 2019 comes from our internal tests and data after that can be verified by individual Stock Pick Updates posted on our website.

Below we include statistics and the details of our three recent updates:

  • September 15, 2020
    Long Picks (September 9 open – September 15 close % change): UAA (+7.37%), EFX (-3.77%), CF (+2.30%), SLB (-1.52%), INTC (+0.95%)
    Short Picks (September 9 open – September 15 close % change): PSX (+0.02%), GLW (+0.98%), EIX (-0.37%), MCD (+3.43%), RTX (+2.79%)

    Average long result: +1.07%, average short result: -1.37%
    Total profit (average): -0.15%
  • September 8, 2020
    Long Picks (September 2 open – September 8 close % change): CSCO (-4.85%), DIS (+0.43%), MAR (+0.68%), WEC (+2.00%), PXD (-8.20%)
    Short Picks (September 2 open – September 8 close % change): SO (+2.09%), PSX (-1.08%), PEAK (-0.47%), NVDA (-18.98%), FB (-9.27%)

    Average long result: -1.99%, average short result: +5.54%
    Total profit (average): +1.78%
  • September 1, 2020
    Long Picks (August 26 open – September 1 close % change): FIS (+4.53%), MAR (+4.82%), DISH (+1.59%), PXD (-2.85%), WEC (+2.02%)
    Short Picks (August 26 open – September 1 close % change): PSX (-4.28%), D (-0.35%), ANTM (-1.31%), AAPL (+6.34%), HD (-0.62%)

    Average long result: +2.02%, average short result: +0.04%
    Total profit (average): +1.03%

Let’s check which stocks could magnify S&P’s gains in case it rallies, and which stocks would be likely to decline the most if S&P plunges. Here are our stock picks for the Wednesday, September 16 – Tuesday, September 22 period.

We will assume the following: the stocks will be bought or sold short on the opening of today’s trading session (September 16) and sold or bought back on the closing of the next Tuesday’s trading session (September 22).

We will provide stock trading ideas based on our in-depth technical and fundamental analysis, but since the main point of this publication is to provide the top 5 long and top 5 short candidates (our opinion, not an investment advice) for this week, we will focus solely on the technicals. The latter are simply more useful in case of short-term trades.

First, we will take a look at the recent performance by sector. It may show us which sector is likely to perform best in the near future and which sector is likely to lag. Then, we will select our buy and sell stock picks.

There are eleven stock market sectors: Energy, Materials, Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Health Care, Financials, Technology, Communications Services, Utilities and Real Estate. They are further divided into industries, but we will just stick with these main sectors of the stock market.

We will analyze them and their relative performance by looking at the Select Sector SPDR ETF’s.

The stock market sector analysis is available to our subscribers only.

Based on the above, we decided to choose our stock picks for the next week. We will choose our top 3 long and top 3 short candidates using trend-following approach, and top 2 long and top 2 short candidates using contrarian approach:

Trend-following approach:

  • buys: 1 x Materials, 1 x Consumer Discretionary, 1 x Real Estate
  • sells: 1 x Energy, 1 x Financials, 1 x Utilities

Contrarian approach (betting against the recent trend):

  • buys: 1 x Energy, 1 x Financials
  • sells: 1 x Materials, 1 x Consumer Discretionary

Trend-following approach

Top 3 Buy Candidates

CF CF Industries Holdings, Inc. - Materials

  • Stock trades within a bull flag pattern – uptrend continuation play
  • The resistance level and a short-term upside profit target level is at $35-36, marked by previous high

ROST Ross Stores, Inc. – Consumer Discretionary

  • Possible bull flag pattern and uptrend continuation
  • The resistance level of $97.5-100.0
  • The support level is at $87.5-90.0

SPG Simon Property Group, Inc. - Real Estate

Summing up, the above trend-following long stock picks are just a part of our whole Stock Pick Update. The Materials, Consumer Discretionary and Real Estate sectors were relatively the strongest in the last 30 days. So that part of our ten long and short stock picks is meant to outperform in the coming days if the broad stock market acts similarly as it did before.

Swift: Resolving Asset Catalog Compiler Warning

Fun thing happened the other day as I created a project to test out some code in XCode, I had initially set it to iPhone only by mistake then went back to set the app to Universal, only to encounter two warnings that had me puzzled as to how to resolve it. This isn’t a coding issue so much as an XCode thing as these were the warnings:

Having heard from Simon Allardice that warnings are not to be ignored, but addressed, I went to look in the Asset Catalog. Specifically the app icon that was throwing the warnings and was unhelpfully presented with this:

Where’s the 76×76 icon and why is it throwing me an warning about it? Turns out, XCode hides certain sizes of app icons that aren’t initially set upon project setup. To get those additional icon sizes, you need to display them by going through the utilities tab. Here’s how to do this:

1. Go to your Images.xcassets catalog.
2a. To the right, click on the Attributes Inspector icon. It looks like this for those ultra new to XCode:

2b. It’s tiny so you can easily miss it if you don’t recognize it. Look for it in the upper right corner of your screen. If you still can’t find it, you may need to activate the utility panel by clicking on this icon:

3. Once on the Attributes Inspector of the Asset Catalog, you’ll see a bunch of devices and iOS versions listed. Check the one that says, iOS 7.0 and Later Sizes. Like this:

4. Look to the right and tada! There’s the 76×76 icon that you’ll need to fill in with a 1x and 2x version. Once you have that, it should eliminate those warnings.

All right, so I felt like a huge n00b when I discovered what was wrong. Especially after what amounts to hours of digging around XCode and wondering what on earth I was doing wrong. A quick Google Search after I’d already solved my own problem revealed the exact same solution was answered on StackOverflow.

But you know what? This was such a rookie mistake and I felt so accomplished (even if it wasn’t coding related) that I had to post about it because I don’t doubt that someone else, somewhere is going to have this issue too. OK, laugh at me and let’s get back to work. 🙂

Interview with Pinar Ilkkaracan

Pinar Ilkkaracan is a founder of our partners International Coalition for Sexual and Bodily Rights in Muslim Societies (CSBR) andWomen for Women’s Human Rights (WWHR) – New Ways in Turkey. Trisha of the Where Is Your Line? campaign has done a great interview with Pinar for their new series, Badass-Activist Friday. Check out an excerpt below, or read the whole thing here.

Sexual and bodily rights continue to be an issue of contestation in the Middle East – something that people often reductively relate to Islam. But of course, there are many discourses and challenges from different, and overlapping societal attitudes. Would you tell us a little more about the situation as you see it? Are there significant class differences in beliefs (i.e. village vs. city?)

In contradiction to the wide-spread myth in the West that there is no activism on sexual and bodily rights in Muslim societies, these rights are very important to many human rights, women’s rights and health activists in the Middle East and other Muslim societies. In the Coalition for Sexual and Bodily Rights in Muslim Societies (CSBR), we have members who are significant opinion leaders as NGOs (non-governmental organizations) in their countries, including from Lebanon, Tunisia, Egypt or Turkey.Based on national experience, we share the common view that Islam – religion – is often misused as a powerful tool for political power when it comes to gender equality or sexuality.

For instance, although the majority of the dictatorial governments in the Middle East based their raison d’être for limitations of personal freedoms on restriction of religious extremism in their countries, they did not hesitate at all to make political compromises when it came to women’s human rights, especially on issues of women’s sexual and bodily autonomy and the rights of LGBTQ people. Thus, women’s human rights and LGBTQ rights became increasingly an arena of a contested politics in the Middle East area of politics. It seems that with the on-going revolutions in the Middle East, it will become even more contested. The new opening spaces for politics will pave the way for religious conservative politics and groups – which is unavoidable for democratic regimes. Thus, I think women’s rights, in particular sexual and bodily rights will become targets of national politics more in the future.

Turkey is in fact, incredibly progressive in terms of legislation regarding violence against women and sexual equality – it was among one of the first countries in the world to pass a protection order law against violence. Do you think this legislation has been effective? How does it intersect with cultural attitudes towards women and sexuality?

Indeed, Turkey experienced a gender equality revolution in the 2000’s. We, as the women’s movement, made an incredible effort to join our forces across all divides to form huge national platforms to defend our rights – Turkish and Kurdish women, rural and urban women – to realize the reform of full gender equality in the Turkish civil code in 2001 and the right to women’s bodily and sexual autonomy in Turkish penal code in 2004. It was a revolution in terms of gender equality in the legal sphere. Yet, as WWHR, including me, expresses in many platforms, the implementation of the reforms is very poor, mainly due to the conservative politics and policies of the Justice and Development Party (JDP) government in Turkey. I think the present government is way beyond the Turkish and Kurdish Public on these issues, as our campaigns – on the reform of Turkish Civil and Public Codes – in fact were successful due to the support of the public and the media, despite the resistance of the governments.

Farmer and beekeeper, Maria

Maria is doing all she can to improve the life of her family and her community. Now Maria has her own affordable borehole and pump that provides clean water throughout the year. She shares it with the entire village. Her piggery and poultry business also benefits from the water and pay for maintenance. A great example how a private owned pump serves a community sustainable.
Thanks Maria

Expert Frank Leenen

Frank graduated as a tropical agronomist in Deventer, the Netherlands and has gained broad experience in various Latin American and African countries. Frank is proficient at assessing and describing opportunities in the area of rural development based on sustainable agricultural systems. Bee keeping for the production of honey, other hive products and pollination services, is his specific expertise.

Guiding & Monitoring data

October 2018

On the Saturday 6 October the third beekeepers meeting was held. Mary, Bridget MulengaBandson Tembo and Krispin Daka attended the meeting.  Together they talked about their successes, challenges and way forward. A good thing is that they all tried to harvest the honey by themselves. It is not an easy work with the aggressive African bee, but they managed. Some of the challenges:

  • They do not have proper working suits.
  • Some of them do not have a press to press the honey. It is very time consuming harvesting without a press.
  • There was not enough honey for the customers they have at this moment.
  • It is difficult for them to make a floral calendar.

The group sees more potential when they start working together. One is a good beekeeper, another one is a good sales person and another can make hives or press machine. Agreed is that Bridget and Dinie from Jacana will prepare next time meeting and discuss what the possibilities are to form a business group. This meeting will be end November or beginning December.

June 2018

The second meeting with the five beekeepers was held on 23 of June. The beekeepers informed each other about what the status is of their beehives. At this meeting one experienced beekeeper came to instruct how to harvest the honey. Unfortunately there were not enough suits. It was not possible for everybody to harvest. And in Mary’s case she is actually not the one harvesting, but her husband and son. beekeeping

March 2018

Maria is one of the five beekeepers in Chipata, Jacana is guiding. Jacana arranged a PUM expert from the Netherlands to train and guide these five entrepreneurs in expanding their beekeeping activities. First of all Frank from the Netherlands visited Maria’s farm to see how she is managing the beehives. Maria had 5 beehives, but unfortunately 2 were stolen. She is trying to make a local beehive to replace the two.

After the visit Frank trained the five beekeepers in the basics of beekeeping: know your farm animal (bee colony), protect yourself against the bees (bee suit and smoker), plan your activities. After the training the five beekeepers decided to meet each other every two months to do some assignments Frank gave them.

Maria uses the smoker before opening the beehive.

January 2018

The drilling team of Michael Soko, Edward Tembo and welder Moses Banda drilled a borehole and installed a pump for Maria.

GM Renews 'Zora' Trademark as Mid-Engine Corvette Nears Production

Illustration for article titled GM Renews Zora Trademark as Mid-Engine Corvette Nears Productionem/em
Photo: Stefan Baldauf

The mystical mid-engine Corvette has been rumored to be called the Zora before. Obviously, we have no proof until the damn thing finally debuts, but we do have clues. One of them is a trademark that General Motors filed at the United States Patent and Trademark Office last month.

On Dec. 12 of last year, GM filed the trademark “Zora” for “motor land vehicles, namely, automobiles” with the USPTO. It’s pretty broad and vague and guarantees nothing, but it’s there.

Yet, this also isn’t the first time that the automaker has filed to trademark “Zora.” GM filed another “Zora” trademark in June 2014, but that one was never registered.

This was because GM never submitted a Statement of Use document then, according to Autoblog. From the story:

In order to actually register the trademark, the company has to file a Statement of Use document. In 2014, GM filed an application for the Zora trademark but never submitted that document, so the trademark wasn’t officially granted and put on the register. That’s why, in 2018, GM had to file a new application.

The outlet notes that GM currently has not submitted a Statement of Use and that it is allowed to file for a Request for Extension of Time (every six months for up to three years if it wants). If or when that Statement of Use gets submitted, though, we’ll probably be able to find out what GM plans to use “Zora” for.

Historically, the name Zora is actually very significant to GM. Zora Arkus-Duntov was a Belgian engineer whose extensive hand in the Corvette helped make it the icon that it is today. I feel it in my heart that this would be a great name and tribute for the long-awaited mid-engine Corvette, but I’ve been wrong before.

Hyundai Genesis Coupe: Jalopnik Buyer's Guide

Illustration for article titled Hyundai Genesis Coupe: Jalopnik Buyers Guide

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is Korea’s first entry into the pony car wars. What do you need to know before you buy a Hyundai Genesis Coupe? Don’t worry, we’ll tell you in our Buyer’s Guide.

In the world of powerful, inexpensive rear wheel-drive sports cars, Hyundai is a newcomer. It wasn’t until 2009 that Hyundai decided it wanted in on on the pony wars, so it launched the Genesis Coupe, an inexpensive, handsome little sports coupe from Korea. At the time of its launch, the Genesis Coupe was a strong contender, offering confident handling, good steering feel, powerful Brembo brakes, and plenty of power from the 3.8L V6.

But despite the refresh in 2013, the Genesis Coupe is often glossed over by buyers looking for a sporty two-door. Maybe because it’s styling is a bit quirky, or perhaps because Hyundai still needs to develop its brand further for it to really penetrate the sports car market. Regardless, the Genesis Coupe is still a decent sports car for the money. It’s got a powerful V6 engine that can be mated to either a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 8-speed automatic. And the Genesis Coupe is backed by Hyundai’s long 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty to boot.

New for 2015

Illustration for article titled Hyundai Genesis Coupe: Jalopnik Buyers Guide

The 2015 Hyundai Genesis coupe dumps the previously standard 2.0L turbo inline 4 cylinder, leaving the 348 hp 3.8L V6 as the standard mill. The deletion of the four banger, along with a few changes to the trim levels, round out the newness for the 2015 model year.

Important Facts At A Glance:

MSRP: $26,750 - $33,400 Top Speed: ~150 MPH [est] Acceleration: ~5 to 60 [est]

II Chronicles 30

II Chronicles 30 is about righteous King Hezekiah’s Passover, which Judahites and some Northern Israelites attended.

There is debate about whether or not Hezekiah’s Passover actually happened.  After all, does not II Kings 23:22 state regarding the Passover of a later king of Judah, Josiah: “Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah” (KJV)?  Why would that passage say that, if the author was aware of a previous Passover under King Hezekiah?

Raymond Dillard, in his Word Biblical Commentary, refers to a couple of arguments that may coincide with the historicity of Hezekiah’s Passover.  One argument is that the Deuteronomist in II Kings wants to exalt King Josiah, and that he may have chosen not to mention Hezekiah’s Passover so as not to detract from the Passover of Josiah; II Kings 23:22, therefore, does not mean that Hezekiah’s Passover did not occur, according to this argument, but that the Deuteronomist, for ideological reasons, chose not to mention it.

Another argument is that the Chronicler, who values the cult, would not invent the sort of chaotic Passover that we see in II Chronicles 30.  In II Chronicles 30, the Israelites are simply not ready to observe the Passover, and so the festival is pushed forward by a month, and Hezekiah asks God to show mercy to the Northern Israelites who eat the Passover in a state of ritual uncleanness.

There may be something to the first argument.  At the same time, I should note that the Chronicler himself makes a statement similar to that in II Kings 23:22.  II Chronicles 35:18 states regarding the Passover of King Josiah: “And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem” (KJV).  The Chronicler could simply be relying on II Kings here, but I doubt it, for the verses are not entirely similar: the Kings passage mentions the judges, whereas the Chronicles passage mentions Samuel the prophet.  Dillard may have a point about why the Deuteronomist fails to mention Hezekiah’s Passover, or perhaps the Deuteronomist does not mention it because, as far as he is concerned, Josiah was the first king to hold a national Passover.

As far as the Chronicler goes, the Chronicler may mean that no such Passover was held until the Passover of Josiah in the sense that Josiah’s Passover was the best, better than the one that Hezekiah held.  (Abarbanel held this sort of view.)  Indeed, in II Chronicles 35, Josiah’s Passover does run smoothly, due to the help of the Levites.  Moreover, while, in II Chronicles 30, there were Northern Israelites who were unwilling to attend Hezekiah’s Passover, Josiah’s Passover may have gathered more Northern Israelites.  II Chronicles 34:33 seems to indicate that Josiah compelled Northern Israelites to worship God, and 35:3 affirms that the Levites taught all Israel.

On the second argument—-that the Chronicler would not invent a chaotic Passover like Hezekiah’s Passover in II Chronicles 30, and thus the Chronicler was reporting what happened—-I am not convinced.  The reason is that, a couple of other times in Chronicles, we see stories about the religious leadership of Judah delaying what it is supposed to do to honor God (II Chronicles 24:5-6; 29:34).  That tells me that one could have reason to believe that a theme of delay is part of the narrative ideology of the Chronicler, and thus it is not unreasonable to think that he could invent a chaotic Passover.

Could this reflect Israel’s post-exilic period in any way, the period in which many scholars believe the Chronicler wrote?  I think so, for the prophet Haggai rebukes the returned Jewish exiles for failing to rebuild the Temple.  Could the Chronicler, by mentioning the theme of delay, be exhorting the post-exilic Jews to get on the ball?  And could his depiction of Josiah’s Passover be designed to show post-exilic Jews about what could happen if they take their first step to the construction of the Temple: that, even if there may be chaos, eventually things will pan out and go more smoothly?

Expectations Running High for a Stormy G20 Summit in Osaka

The G20 summit is set to take place on Friday and Saturday, June 28 and 29, in Osaka, along with the first major typhoon of the Reiwa Era, making the arrival of international leaders a particularly stormy one. Still, expectations are running high.

Throughout the day on Thursday, June 27, various international leaders rolled into the Kansai region’s three major airports, the busiest of which was the Kansai International Airport in Osaka.

The Japanese Foreign Ministry estimated 6,000 journalists had converged in the area to cover the summit.

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi landed Thursday morning, followed by China’s President Xi Jinping, who landed amid pouring rain. U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May landed just before 6 P.M., and United States President Donald Trump arrived about an hour later. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was already in Osaka to meet his guests.

What’s On The Agenda?

World leaders had a full two days of discussions ahead of them. The four sessions are: the global economy, innovation, disparities and infrastructure, and climate change.

The G20 decisions are not legally binding but they call for collaboration. They provide an opportunity to measure the pulse of the international community, ending with a Leaders’ Declaration, which, it is hoped, will include consensus on how to deal with the global economy, the rising digital society, and the ravages of marine plastics.

This is the first time Japan will host the G20, so Prime Minister Abe has been looking for ways to put his own spin to the proceedings.

Just before leaving Tokyo at 9 A.M. Thursday, he told the press, “People tend to focus on confrontation, but Japan wishes to seek points in common.”

The Prime Minister specified that he plans to bring attention to World Trade Organization reform, as well as to the digital economy, technology, the environment, and womens’ empowerment, among other things.

Side Talks

Bilateral talks began early on Thursday, with Prime Minister Abe meet with two leaders of the EU, European Commission President Donald Tusk and European Council President Jean-Claude Junker, just before noon.

Later in the day there were talks with the leaders of Egypt, Argentina, Senegal, Indonesia. But the highlight came in the evening with the first bilateral talks on Japanese soil with China’s President Xi.

The Challenges

Osaka itself almost seemed in a frenzy, with security concerns shutting down many roads and amenities, disrupting travelers by rail and car as well as by air. Exponents from 20 different countries and international organizations are set to participate, and all the stops have been pulled on security and in preparation of a successful agenda.

The G20 was born in the aftermath of the 2008 economic collapse known as the Lehman shock, as an effort to boost international cooperation. Since then, the global economy has vastly changed and some have argued the impetus for collaboration isn’t the same.

Nevertheless, the trade war between the U.S. and China has had widespread repercussions and is a point which many are hoping will find some degree of resolution in Osaka.

Denis Hew, director of the Policy Support Unit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Secretariat, spoke at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan on May 24 in the lead-up to the summit. He said that the U.S.-China trade war was “reeking-havoc” across the world. “Just by the fact that two had a phone call, the stock markets went up,” Hew observed ruefully.

Yet even on topics with more intuitive consensus like climate change, the outcome of the Osaka meetings may not be so clear-cut. French President Emmanuel Macron, just before leaving for Osaka, said that climate change was a “red line,” and stated in clear terms that if a more comprehensive agreement was not reached to include the U.S. in the Paris Accords, then going forward on the issue in Osaka would be “without France.”

What Else Is At Stake

The summit also provides an occasion for each country to put forward its own agenda.

In the case of Japan, one pressing matter is North Korea’s abduction of Japanese citizens, with the victims still held by North Korea. Prime Minister Abe has brought up the issue with European Union leaders Tusk and Junker and obtained their “understanding and support” regarding a resolution of the issue, Japan’s Press Secretary for the G20 Summit, Takeshi Osuga, revealed to the media on the evening of June 27.

Rising tensions over Iran are likely to be another key issue during the talks, not just for Japan, but for the U.S. and many of the other countries.

Bilaterally, Prime Minister Abe and Russian President Vladmir Putin are slated to hold discussions that bring to the fore yet again the issue of the disputed islands between the two countries.

The Back Room Role of Hong Kong

There are also some key issues not up for discussion but which have the potential to influence the meetings anyway. The most obvious of these is the recent Hong Kong protests.

Demonstrations have rocked the special administrative region since June 16, when the government introduced a proposed bill to allow the extradition to China of anyone accused of a crime in the mainland, leading Hong Kong people to fear it would end their freedom of speech.

Given the media coverage, and the size of the opposition, it might have been expected for international pressure to close on China, but Chinese leaders have made it clear they will not discuss the topic at the G20 summit.

Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs Zhang Jun told a press briefing on Monday, June 24, that the G20 usually discusses global trade and economic issues and wouldn’t focus on the week-long protests in Hong Kong. “Hong Kong affairs are Chinese domestic affairs. Any foreign force has no right to interfere in this.”

While world leaders might not discuss them, there have been grassroots efforts to bring attention to China’s track record on issues beyond Hong Kong and even beyond Tiananmen Square’s 2019 anniversary. The J20, which stands for “justice,” will take place in the streets of Osaka on the evening of June 28, around Namba intersection, bringing in particular attention to the plight of Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and the Uyghur region.

Earlier in the day, from 2 PM there will also be a press conference where Rebiya Kadeer (President of the Free Indo-Pacific Alliance) and Shobshuud Temtselt (Chairman of the Southern Mongolia Congress) will explain further their aims, and what the movement hopes to achieve. The press conference is set to be held first in Japanese, then in English, at the Chuo Kaikan,  2-12-31, Shimanouchi, Chuou ward, Osaka city.

Their manifesto reads: “We, Justice 20 Executive Committee, declare a protest against dictator Xi Jinping of the Communist Party of China’s one-party dictatorial regime who comes to Japan for the G20 at the end of June, 2019 in order to realize freedom, peace, democracy, and the right of peoples to self-determination.” Read more about the protest movement continuing also on June 29 here.

City Welcomes G20, Amid Security Shutdown

Despite the storm which barely let up during the day, the security efforts have been stringent all throughout Osaka. Early on Thursday, the Hanshin highway was closed and train routes diverted in order to secure better protection for the G20 venue, including Kansai International Airport, the hotel areas where many leaders will be staying, and the area around INTEX, the venue of the meetings.

As has become customary, police closed trash bins, storage lockers, and even banned the use of drones around the Kansai International airport.

There have also been fun welcoming events for the foreign visitors and press. A group of women who call themselves the Osaka Obachan (grandmothers) released a rap song on YouTube, welcoming people to “the funniest city in the world.”

A restaurant in the center of Osaka specializing in yakisoba, called “Yakisoba Center,” even prepared a special stir-fried noodle dish to commemorate the occasion. The giant dish contains, among other things, 20 boiled eggs in honor of the G20. It costs ￥3,310 JPY (just a bit more than $30 USD) and weighs about 7 kg.

For curious observers, the next few days offer plenty to ponder. While the theme of the gathering is the economy, the summit offers the opportunity for countries to be held accountable on the world stage on a much broader range of global concerns, be it free speech and human rights, climate change or trade barriers.

As talks unfold in Osaka, make sure you follow JAPAN Forward’s coverage of the G20 sessions.

I want to ask

What songs do you like?

the correct way of asking that?

I am trying to get better at building sentences but I have no way of knowing whether or not the sentence is correct, is it a problem if I continue to post questions like this here?

I will answer your to the best of my ability but it was just a stone's throw from when I was at your level. Let's look at your sentence.

"何{なに}を" is marked as the direct obect, but there is no verb to take it. 好{す}き is an adjective and です is the copula, so you need to rephrase your sentence.

どんな is OK since it means "what kind (of)..." so an acceptable sentence such as

なんの歌が好きですか ?

would suit your needs.

| improve this answer | |
  • Thanks for the explanation. What's the difference between 何の and どんな ? – Tyler H Dec 5 '15 at 6:37
  • どんな歌 is "what kind of songs" and なんの歌 is "what songs", so in your sentence, there is not too much too much difference between the two – user11589 Dec 5 '15 at 6:39

[何]{なん}の[歌]{うた}が[好]{す}きですか? and どんな[歌]{うた}が[好]{す}きですか? are correct.

A key reason is probably the amount of time spent studying in Japan rather than some naturally higher or gifted intelligence. Don't get me wrong, not bashing. My children are J/UK, go to a Japanese school, and they do longer school hours and get much more homework than they would in the UK. Through to 6th grade their homework also had to be reviewed and signed off by a parent...every day.

I'm a married guy with a stay at home J-wife/mum for 15 years. I/we have been fortunate to earn a salary that supports this. It is difficult to articulate but I feel my wife serves as an anchor or secure and reliable point for the children and even myself. I work/commute the typical 12 hour days but my wife works equally hard to ensure the home and family is taken care of. In fact, when she has been sick and I have had to take over, I found it much tougher than my own (but also more rewarding re: time with children). I sincerely appreciate her hard work and never consider her lazy or a leech. And I think our children have enjoyed a happier, closer, more secure childhood because of her always being there for them.

The point of this article is unclear but it seems to be that the drivers used their mobile phones for non work reasons....not (like most comments imply) that using a mobile phone whilst operating (driving?) a train is dangerous.

For those who have not worked for Japanese firms in Japan, doing anything personal during work hours is a major no-no. Email. Phone calls. But I think it is even more than that. One time I had a business trip to my home country so I asked to travel on the Friday evening (10pm) so I could spend the weekend with my family but management (and J-worker friends) was absolutely shocked that I would even suggest such a thing and refused. But then they required me to travel on the Sunday so I would be at work for the Monday morning. Go figure!

As a generalization, I think a woman's reason for an affair is love and feel special and appreciated. And they feel they have more to lose than men because, in Japan, they are probably stay at home mothers.

Posted in: Abe may sweeten sales tax hike with corporate tax cut See in context

It seems many posters here spout the low brow rhetoric of unions and left leaning politics. Saying how the corporate tax will help the decrease rich and the sales tax increase will hit the poor (or middle) class.

A sales tax hike will impact everyone and the more you consume, the more it will impact you. Therefore one can reasonably assume that those with the highest incomes (extravagant lives) will pay substantially more sales tax than lower income earners. This tax goes to the government to be spent on services for all (or pay down the massive debt created for historical funding). It would be interesting to see statistic to show just how much the sales tax income from higher income earners subsidises the poorer masses.

And lowered corporate tax rates help the company accounts. No necessarily any specific rich person in the company. Assuming a company is profitable for the year, a corporate tax decrease will immediately leave more profit in the company, not in a person's pocket. Now, that company is likely to use that extra profit to reduce debt, purchase or upgrade assets, expand the business, pay a bigger bonus, increase salaries or hire new staff. Yes, the top managers could write themselves big cheques but in the vast majority of companies, they will use profit sensibly to maintain and build the business.

So my view is that Japan has to increase the sales tax and those that spend (consume) more will be the biggest contributors. And reducing corporate tax will have a positive impact on jobs, wages and business expansion.

If he released a hard hitting movie about current US actions, e.g. collateral civilian deaths from drone strikes, he may get more reaction than from dramatic portrayals of historic events. However, I think most American's would still believe that the US fights the good causes of freedom and democracy and in doing so, has to sometimes make difficult decisions for the greater good. Like Jack Nicholson's character in A Few Good Men said, "You can't handle the truth!" (That to protect freedom & democracy and keep a nation safe often requires the nation to do things that Joe Public would rather not think/know about).

10 'men' armed with baseball bats to beat down one (assuming) unarmed man. What a bunch of cowardly thugs. These conspirators should have gotten some jail time. And the 2 year jail//300,000 yen fine maximum, even for those who did the beating, is a joke.

The article doesn't speculate on the reason for the attack. It suggests possible mistaken identity but nothing to say what the motivation for the attack was.

Posted in: Snowden walks free in Russia; Obama-Putin summit in doubt See in context

@afanofjapan - I think those standing up for the US Government think about it like this:

1) What Snowden disclosed should come as no great surprise; most Americans and plenty of others had a good idea that the NSA is watching/reading/listening to all communications. Just look at the movies like Enemy of the State.

2) However, for Snowden to make public specific details of the how & what the NSA does....this is not only embarassing but will probably limit the effectiveness of the program and by doing so help 'the bad guys' (terrorists, foreign states, domestic criminals etc).

3) He held trusted positions at government agencies and had probably agreed in writing never to disclose information he had access to.

For these reasons they argue he is a traitor, helping (maybe misguidedly) enemies of the US and their allies.

Bass4funk, please correct me if I'm wrong?

In most other countries, the corporation, government and judiciary would all want to move fast and decisively (for different reasons) with tough action (huge fines, executives fired, whistleblower rewarded) to make this embarassment go away and give the impression of zero-tolerance for bad guys and rewards for whistleblowers. Olympus & J-Gov must not care how ridiculous this makes Japan Inc look. Abe should be concerned as a key part of his structural reforms are attracting foreign investment. How many US or UK firms would want to partnwr or invest with Japan corporations when they've watched this Olympus circus playing out for years?

Immediately call an ambulance for the person then see if you can get your passport, park deep in long term car park at Narita and be gone before you're caught. That's if you are completely sure it was the other person's fault. If you are the one who ran a red light or something clearly putting you in the wrong, then pull over, give whatever help you can, call an ambulance and wait to take responsibility for your actions.

Posted in: New immigration laws hinder some married expats returning to UK See in context

Wipeout, I have a feeling that a large percentage of Brits abroad would be net contributors to where they go. For Spain perhaps many are retirees buying property, spending savings and shifting UK pension payouts to the Spanish economy. Others might open pubs or fish & chip shops etc. I'm sure there are also criminal or yob-types but generally speaking a poorer, unskilled, low wage earning Brit is probably better off staying in the UK with its welfare entitlements than they are going to another EU location? But Britain has attracted too many people who are not net contributors from poorer EU countries.

I'm not sure if this view is accurate, but it's the impression I have.

Posted in: New immigration laws hinder some married expats returning to UK See in context

Just to add to my earlier comment, I think the visa being referred to in the story is a Settlement Visa. I guess this is similar to a permanent visa in Japan. Is this different to a Green Card for USA?

And when I recently enquired about a settlement visa for my foreign wife, I was told that even though I own a property in England (our intended residence), this would not result any discount to the required £18,600 wages noted in the article.

Posted in: New immigration laws hinder some married expats returning to UK See in context

My take on this is that the british government wants to drastically reduce immigration but their hands are tied when it comes to the EU countries so they decided to take a draconian approach to non-EU countries. Come 2015 they will be able to appeal to potential UKIP voters by saying how much they have cut immigration. People like me and others in this story/thread are simply collateral damage. This will not change until EU membership terms are renegotiated or Britain exits the EU, i do not think there are sufficient numbers of people (voters) affected to create a lobby group with any impact.

The previous labour government's lax welfare and immigration policies, on top of the EU membership constraints have turned the UK into what it is today. Conservatives are trying to sort out the welfare system but are somewhat held back my the LibDems. Immigration will take decades to sort out, even with tough, reformist policies because so many people that should not be in the country (taking but not contributing) have made it through.

This is just my personal view based on watching UK news from overseas during the past 20 years.

Posted in: Japan warns Britain to stay in EU or suffer job losses See in context

I'm from the UK but haven't lived there for over 20 years so my views are largely based on news (Sky, BBC, flipboard of various UK newspaper sites). From this I get the impression that the mass general public have an extremely negative view on EU immigration issues (eg thousands of Eastern europeans pouring in, taking jobs and/or leeching off welfare) and the EU court of human rights permitting the multi-year, multi-million pound (tax payer funded) farce of deporting the terrorist, hate speaker Abu Qatada (who was also living on welfare benefits whilst espousing hate language against the UK government.

Because of EU membership, the government is seen to have no power to deport a foreigner who gives street sermons about killing British in jihad and cannot properly control the mass inflows of unskilled, potentially criminal people from other member countries.

When they hold an in-out referendum I think many many people will be thinking of these negatives and not considering higher-brow economic reasons.

Personally I think we should remain as part of the EU, as the positives far outweigh the negatives. But try to negotiate more favourable terms whilst reforming immigration and welfare.

Posted in: 81-year-old woman dies after being assaulted by granddaughter See in context

Scott, LFRA, apologies. On re-reading, there was no suggestion that she should get off free. And I appreciate the responses. I find it interesting that there seems to more empathy for the attacker if it is at home with a family member versus in public with a stranger. For example, if an elderly lady approached the young girl to chastise her for doing make up on the train or talking on a phone....they argue and then the girl pushes the woman who dies, would you still feel as sorry for the girl? I guess my upbringing makes a physical attack on my parents or (especially) grandparents completely unthinkable, no matter how angry or aggrieved I am. Hence why I was surprised how there wasnt more shock/outrage at the girl. Not to lynch her or spend life in prison. But more than 'its probably a sad accident, these things happen' kind of thing.

Posted in: Gov't announces ban on parking bicycles around Tokyo Station See in context

The massive sense of entitlement of many JT cyclists is annoying to read. Just look at the one before this by 25psot to see a good example. Just because you make a personal choice to ride a bicycle doesn't mean you should get free parking everywhere and dedicated parking lanes. Moped riders have to pay to get and maintain a current license, pay state and local tax, pay road tax, pay insurance, pay tax in evey fuel top-up but they don't get (or expect) dedicated traffic lanes or free parking.

Cyclists on the other hand just buy a bike and off they go for free, disrupting foot paths when riding and blocking entrances and narrow roads. And like Mikihouse says, the enforcement and punishments are pathetic for inconsiderate bike parking. In my experience, many cyclists ignore proper parking facilities because they don't want to pay or because they are too lazy and inconsiderate and so prefer to leave their bike right near the entrance of where they're going (knowing that enforcement is unlikely). No doubt many in the suburbs decide to buy/rent in a cheaper, inconvenient location, where walking or biking a long distance to the tain or bus is their only option, then refuse to pay to park and park illegally instead. Thinking how bad the government is for not subsidising their personal choices.

You only have to look at how many bicycles are illigally and inconsiderately parked, to see that cyclists are largely rude freeloaders, not environmental advocates.

Posted in: Lifelong sex? Men say yes; women not so sure See in context

I read an interesting book on the differences between men and women, where the authors looked to academic research to explain well known generalisations about men and women. For example, men often can't find something in the fridge or draw but then the wife comes and finds it immediately. Or how woman are generally less good at map reading & reverse parkng a car than men. The differences between men & women regarding sex and love were tested in an experiment where various images are shown depicting porn/sexy situation and loving/romantic situations. The test subjects are in an MRI machine, which shows what parts of their brains 'light up' in response to each image. Women's brains lit up in the same area no matter what image they looked at but for men, whilst the romantic images lit up the same area as the women, the sexy images lit up a completely different part of the brain, one that never lit up in the women. The authors argued that this provided some support for men who say "but it was just sex!" and supports the generalisation that women equate love & sex more closely than men. Yes, complete generalisation. The book also discusses medical evidence for why women & men can range from frilly/alpha to butch/effeminite and conclude that the amount of testosterone delivered at conception will hardwire you for this. A lot of testerone and a boy will grow into a caveman type, hardly any and they will grow into a k-pop/j-pop boy band star!

When I was young, some pubs in the UK had breathalyser machines on the wall which you had to pay to use.

I'm a bit surprised by the sympathetic comments. I've seen my share of teenage tantrums and family fights but I've never seen an 80 year old grandmother physically attacked (shoved, pushed, punched, slapped). If the story was of a 17 year old girl who killed an 81 year old woman at a train station because the girl got angry and shoved the old lady, I think JT posters would be calling for serious jail time, but as it's her own grandmother people think she should get off free?!

Surely a landslide victory, resulting in power to push through policies without resistance, will by design result in more & faster change and thus less stability.

Posted in: 3 unacquainted men arrested for molesting schoolgirl on train See in context

I'm not sure I understand the 'honey trap' in this context. Are people saying that a girl will expressly ask a man to grope her on a train and then scream for help and try to get money? Or is it a girl who dresses/acts in a way that attracts would-be gropers to her on purpose and if one takes the bait, she tries to get money?

Train gropers should be publicly shamed. Names and photos put up at all stations for 6 months. Not only would this shame them but when the stations run out of wall space due to the number of photos, the public might be spurred into action an it might get the attention of the idiot politicians.

Not to detract from the seriousness of this, but the headline saying 'school girl' seems engineered for extra attention. At 17', 'high school student' might have been more accurate.

New World Order- Socialist Utopia: The Latest Idea Is ‘Universal Basic Income’ i.e. Turning EVERYONE Into Income-Dependent Slaves

The latest insane idea from the political Left is called “Universal Basic Income.” It’s based on the idea that governments should pay everyone a basic “wage” for doing nothing, and it’s justified by concern over robots replacing workers in the years ahead.

But “income” is something you earn, by definition. So you can’t call it “income” if nobody is earning it. The correct term for this is Universal Basic WELFARE. It’s just a grand entitlement handout by governments to keep the sheeple in line while their liberties and dignity are stripped away by a totalitarian state.

The whole point of such a system is to enslave and control the masses by eliminating individual success and turning everyone into a “financial zombie” who’s dependent on the State for their survival. As I explain in the video below:

It’s not about giving people something for free, it’s about controlling everyone, turning you into a mindless sheeple consumer, and making sure that the very idea of standing out and achieving and doing something for yourself is bred out of the culture. They want generation after generation entirely dependent on the system, where the government is your mother, your father and your God. This is the opposite of freedom… it is financial enslavement.

People currently pushing Universal Basic Welfare include evil globalist Mark Zuckerberg and taxpayer-funded techno hype artist Elon Musk. Other liberals are also on board, attempting to praise the idea of “free money for everyone,” apparently oblivious to the fact that putting everyone on welfare is possibly the most destructive idea collectivists have come up with yet.

So much for the idea that income has to be earned, eh? Once they start handing out free money to everyone, it won’t be long before the Soylent Green harvesting trucks start running 24/7.

Water: Films to inform and inspire

Last year, I composed a summary of the 2011 Voices from the Waters film festival, in which I listed a number of films that appealed to me.

I have done further research since, and endeavoured to source video links to some more of those films:

And the River flows on

The Warriors of Qiugang

One Water  (utterly sublime film, that took over six years to document!)

The Work of 1000

Dams – The Lethal Water  Bombs (very scary stuff)

Water Makes Money

The Miracle Water Village

The Well: Water Voices from Ethiopia (my most favourite of all the films shown – just brilliant!)

The Buffalo Flows

Fire Water (my film, which also screened at the festival)

> Browse all Synopses

Remember to support all these hard-working filmmakers by sharing the links above via email and social media, purchasing DVD’s, or even making direct contact where possible. Water issues are among the most serious in the world; and filmmakers hold the powerful keys to wide-scale education and awareness. If I had to pick one film from those listed above, which continues to inspire me, it would have to be The Warriors of Qiugang.

“Villagers in central China take on a chemical company that is poisoning their land and water. For five years they fight to transform their environment and as they do, they find themselves transformed as well.” Source

I look forward to the day when I can read a similar statement in reference to the inevitable abolition of  the practice of water fluoridation in Australia. I only hope, as a filmmaker, I am there to document the celebrations when the final nail gets rammed into the fluoridation coffin.

Meanwhile, enjoy The Warriors of Qiugang:

  1. A friend of mine recently commented, regarding this post, “Very powerful graphics to present the focused message. I like this social conscience art form.”

  2. Hey Jaya, great post.

    I liked your point about the hard-working filmmakers. When you and I were watching these films in Bangalore, I was acutely aware of the technical challenges some of these filmmakers must have faced. Tremendous work indeed.

    I hope we can submit another film to this festival one day.

    • Yes Daniel, this festival was a blessed time – a truly magnificient selection of films from around the world on the issues surrounding, ‘Water’ – our most vital of resources, for without, we shrivel and dry. I agree, that some of these films were so technically difficult, or filmed in such remote areas testing the filmmaker’s patience, perserverence and consistently positive actions. So much TLC went into making, following, reporting, and generally, getting wet with the knowledge filming the issues surrounding the care for, or, corruption of water. I sincerely hope we are able to submit another water film to this most wonderful and vital of film festivals. Special mention must go to George Kutty, the festival Director, who assembled such a dazzling array of wonderful films from around the globe; and for inspiring the brilliant trailer: http://youtu.be/NRKX1rGe8wc

      Highlights of the festival can also be found, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie16yp2dF5U

Collaboration with Lonseluet

So I shared a preview last week on my Instagram about my collaboration with Lonseluet, in this post I’m wearing one of the canvas collection pieces.

When I chose the outfit I immediately thought, rose gold glasses and my Perspex clear boots. I am not necessarily an accessories person you can probably tell,  I am good to go with only shades (and my outfit of course lol).

Two things that made me choose this piece;

1. the print, it’s very different to what you would normally see on the high street, it makes you stand out.

2.  it’s a two piece you can do soo much like you can wear a different top or if you choose to wear the top you can style it with jeans or you can choose to be formal and wear a different trouser.

You can find Lonseluet on Instagram @Lonseluet, check out her other designs also Lonseluet would be available on Asos market place very soon, I will let you know when they are available.  Please let me know what you think about it, leave a comment below and thank you always for the feedback it’s greatly appreciated.

Outfit: Lonseluet

Glasses: Aldo (they actually have all my money 😪😂😂😂)

Shoes: Public desire (as seen on “When Gold meets Purple)
