 Pattern clashing

One of those marmite outfits.
Today's post would be a classic occasion of me pretending that I am in fact trendy, and this outfit was an organised choice based off analysing and forecasting trends. But I think I'm just going to be honest. Some times I hit it lucky. But there are occasions were I do not get it right in the eyes of the beholder and most of the time its when I do this. I pattern clash on purpose.

I enjoy trying to find the most wacky patterns and pairing them together, to make a 'huge big colour mess' according to close family members. However in my head I see it as a huge big colour wheel.

And now I refer back to luck.. it just so happens that the fashion world has coincided with me once again. See the complete Stella Jean Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear collection.: Temperley London London Spring/Summer 2017 Ready-To-Wear Collection | British…:
Stella Jean. Temperley London and Giamba Resort all are styling pattern clashing for SS17.Giamba Resort 2017 Fashion Show:

  1. So how you pattern clash without looking like you got dressed blindfolded? DON'T OVER THINK IT!
  2. Look for one colour that is involved in all patterns (For example here I replicate the colour white in both the shirt and slightly in the skirt.
  3. I use one print to dominate the entirety of the outfit and then the other to accent
  4. You can replicate the shape of one pattern and use an enlargement in an other.

Word Vomit Wednesday - Flagged

 Welcome to Word Vomit Wednesday! A series of blog posts about random thoughts or a specific topic from current events that I, and sometimes the rest of the Internet, ruminate obsessively about. All thoughts/opinions/experiences are my own (unless otherwise indicated); I don’t claim anything that I write to represent anyone other than myself.

*At the time of posting this, I was and am still partially banned from sharing things on Facebook without any explanation from Facebook.*

Last week I was flagged on Facebook for “hate speech” much to my surprise and to the surprise of pretty much everyone I know. And, if I’m being honest here, I actually felt more inconvenienced than upset about it. I probably should have felt more upset about it because it’s indicative of an enormous and terrifying cultural trend: censoring critical thought and expression while protecting harassment, threats, and bigotry. I have no idea who reported me or what about me or something I posted (I only posted twice last week and I rarely engage with Facebook anymore except to post this blog and work for Female Frequency and maybe “like” some of my friend’s posts) was found to be problematic, which is part of the problem with reporting on social media platforms. No one has any idea what the fuck is going on and nothing is actually accomplished.

I talked to my friend (I’ll call her Viv for this piece) who co-founded and worked for an organization whose intention was to provide support for victims of online harassment. And what she found while working with Twitter and their global trust and safety departments was pretty abysmal. First of all, these are very small departments that employ very few people. Which makes discerning legitimate reportings and enforcing consequences for the hundreds of thousands of claims that come in weekly to be virtually impossible. And because these social media companies don’t want to shell out the money for more manpower on this issue we’re left at the whims of algorithms that end up doing more harm than good. By having bots that are programmed to find keywords and then trigger a ban based on those words removes any kind of discussion about First Amendment rights and protections.

Algorithms have no concept for context and nuance. You can’t define hate speech and symbols without also discussing context and you can’t pretend to care about the First Amendment if you can’t determine what speech is protected and what warrants consequences if there are no people having those discussions while working on cases. By setting up these algorithms you may be able pick up on that Neo-Nazi’s multiple profiles, but you’re probably also lumping people who educate about World War II in with the bigots as if they're in any way equitable. They’re obviously not even close. That's one way in which these social media platforms are doing a great disservice to it’s community members.

While Viv was working at her organization, she had the rare opportunity to personally and directly bring cases to global trust and safety which would expedite the process for her clients significantly. Even then, there were still many obstacles. No two social media platforms have a uniform way they deal with reports and they all require different types of “evidence” from the users filing complaints which users are either not aware of or have no idea how to obtain them. Not only that, but harassment is still just not taken seriously. According to Viv, even after personally bringing forward very serious cases involving death threats it still took 48 hours for any action.

The excuses for not doing more organizationally and even legislatively, is this bullshit idea that the Internet is too fast to even think about putting real protections for people around hate speech, threats of violence, threats to reputation, privacy and consent. Excuse me, but that’s just fucking lazy. So lazy and unwilling to do the work are these social media companies, that they opened up this country to major national security threats (hello, Russia Investigation). And it’s appalling that the people on the Internet who do cause harm and who express themselves with violence are only ever given a slap on the wrist. Why even have a reporting system if no one is going to be held accountable for their actions? Which brings me to my next point. Oftentimes reporting someone (as was in my case last week) is the harassment behavior.

Trolls employ reporting as a harassment tactic CONSTANTLY. My first personal experience with it was last week, but I have seen it happen over and over again to, in particular,  to BIPOC (black, indigenous people of color) activists and advocates (mostly women) that I follow on various social media platforms. And it is enraging every time that these people who are either educating, observing, asking, or sharing are policed at virtually every turn. THAT’S FUCKED UP AND REALLY NOT NECESSARY. But because there is no real discussion or real people discerning the difference between hate speech and a truth that may make someone feel some discomfort, reporting is abused and used violently toward marginalized people. Much in the same way all our other institutions are set up to uphold those same white supremacist and patriarchal standards.

If our society is going to progress in any way, we need to get this mess sorted out. Free speech does not mean one is free from consequences. If someone is being abused they should feel like they’re going to be heard when they reach out. When someone has been flagged, they need to be given specific reasons why something they did or said was deemed inappropriate and be held accountable appropriately, not just given a link to the site’s guidelines. And if someone uses the reporting system in a violent way they should not only be appropriately held accountable for that but also have it communicated to them why what they were reporting was not considered hate speech, etc. Fostering discussion and education through healthy communication practices is something we definitely need in these spaces. If these platforms continue to rely on these algorithms instead of having qualified humans facilitate we are never going to have the resources or professional support that we deserve in these spaces.

Katie Louchheim suggests that if an opinion makes you uncomfortable, go see a therapist before projecting your bullshit inappropriately on others.

CREATIVE CONTRIBUTION: Sound Designer Katie Louchheim

Hi all!

I am very excited to be a part of an amazing project called Descendants of the Chalice doing sound design. I recently wrote a blog post for the project which I will be reposting here (and I'll share the links to our Indiegogo campaign and the Descendants' website so you can read all of the other great contributions and hopefully help us bring this project to life!)

I hope everyone has a very happy holiday season and amazing new year! I see you 2016. :)

For much of my life, my body has been enemy number one. I have been trapped in this cage of flesh my whole life and no one will let me out. I dressed it up like a temple. I treated it like a battleground. I have done everything that I could think of to flee from it.

Now I am feeling my anger. Infuriated and I’m ready to be honest about it.

I got my first period at age 11. I was diagnosed with Endometriosis at age 14, thankfully, much earlier than most people when they are finally properly diagnosed. My parents were definitely on it when it came to diagnosing the physical symptoms, however, there was very little information ever given. I was trapped in this body that was being dragged from doctor to doctor, appendages pricked to rule out anemia, countless birth control pills prescribed and consumed in hopes of lessening my pain and flow from super plus to regular, laparoscopic surgery, more invasive colonoscopy and upper endoscopy (both of which I had to remain awake for), injections of Depo Provera in my hip every three months, missing sixty days of school a year due to the insurmountable amount of pain and nausea my body put me through every month. Once diagnosed, I was given a vague description of the disease. Mostly just what can happen if you have it and what happened in my particular case. Pictures from my laparoscopic surgery showed tissue in my body that the endometrial lining from my uterus attached itself to and then continued acting like endometrial tissue creating a reservoir of blood around my internal organs. And that was it.

Is there a cure?

“No. “

What causes the uterine lining to start acting that way?

“No clue.”

So, is it an autoimmune-type disease?

Not much has changed in the almost fifteen years since I was diagnosed. (For a brief and comprehensive rundown of what is known about Endometriosis see Cristen Conger of “Stuff Mom Never Told You” talk about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gKU2tzv1zg ). The only difference now is that women are beginning to talk about their experiences with the disease. The physical, emotional and psychological tolls and all of the work and life experiences missed out on or moved numbly through. Lena Dunham and Padma Lakshmi spoke about their experiences in a recent issue of Lenny. Many doctors have misdiagnosed women with the disease because they are not taking the women’s concerns and pain seriously enough. As a result, doctors confuse endometriosis with other physical ailments like appendicitis or brush it off as whining or a mental imbalance. All the while women have to suffer the consequences. We lose time at school or work, experience relationship-related stress, miss out on important time discovering self-careand personal exploration. We suffer from intense pain that creates a personal culture of shame for not being able to work through it, fear of appearing weak or drawing attention to oneself, and on, and on, and on.

As I read their anecdotes it felt as if I had written them myself. Their feelings, fears, and experiences felt almost identical to my own. One of the most difficult things about having Endometriosis was how alone and unrelateable I felt. Lena Dunham and I are very close in age and if I had known that I wasn’t the only adolescent person to have been diagnosed with this disease, it would have made all the difference. Maybe I wouldn’t have beaten myself up so hard about feeling like a failure of a human being. Maybe I would have given myself a chance to be a teenager during the times I was feeling well. Maybe I wouldn’t have gotten in the habit of living my life totally disassociated from my own body. Maybe I would have felt that I could leave my room and be more open and engaged with my family. The fact that this is all coming out now, as opposed to then, points to some much larger culprits that had some very conditioned and deeply ingrained messages. I’ve begun to realize that it’s much bigger than just the disease.

I’ve begun to realize that every flicker of rage that moves through me has been greatly displaced. Instead of directing my anger to where it should be going, and should have been going my entire life, I harnessed and focused it all on my body. My anger is more appropriately aimed at both societal conditioning and from certain messages I received in my particular family culture. Our lives are so gendered and, as women or women-presenting people, so much of “taking care” of ourselves is wrapped up in superficiality that makes us products for consumption and use of the male gaze. And my reaction to that is typically, “fuck that shit” and then refuse to make any decisions at all.

Instead of taking care of my body, I grew resentful of it and ignored it.

There is something about getting my needs met that feels destructive. A feeling that if I am happy and taken care of, that it’s at the cost of other people’s happiness and well-being. I don’t know whether it’s competitiveness with other women that has been fed to us through the patriarchal spoon or the fact that we’re also taught to be sorry for everything including our own existence. Most accurately, it’s probably both and was definitely a major reason as to why I’ve had a lot of trouble asking for help and really feeling the pain that I was going through. The message that women are the weaker and fairer sex coupled with the idea that there can only ever be one queen bee in any situation contributed heavily to my feelings of inadequacy and that I needed to be tougher and stronger if I wanted to be the best and to live life on my own terms. Every time someone made a comment about my naturally thin frame and every time I got sick were instant reminders that my body was useless and only holding me back.

My body has been the enemy for so long and my uterus, in particular, has been such a burden on me that I even refused to engage in any potential romantic relationships because I felt that I would only be a burden to the other person. Who wants a diseased girlfriend who’s scared to have sex? In this hyper-sexulized culture we live in, I figured no one would be willing to be patient with me, especially as a teenager. My feelings and pain would never matter that much to anyone.

And I was right. My pain didn’t matter when I got my first period and was made to feel like I was being a jerk because I was hurting. My family had gone over to our best family friend’s house for dinner, as we often did, and I spent the entire time sitting on the couch in front of the TV with my arms crossed over my stomach. It didn’t feel like a normal stomach ache and I really just didn’t feel like I could do anything but sit. On top of that, I remember it being insinuated to me that I wasn’t being a good sport or was being high-maintenance or something, which, of course, hurt my feelings and made me feel even worse. It wasn’t until we went home that night and I went to the bathroom and saw the blood in my underwear that I realized what happened. I showed my mom, she confirmed, and that was that. My pain didn’t matter when I would close myself off in my room because I had no other coping skills and felt like I was a monster or just nonexistant to my family. My pain didn’t matter when my grandmothers would continually bring up and imply the importance of having children. My pain and my being didn’t matter when I was raped by a coworker and earlier in the evening when he told me that my idea of consent between two people was “a fairytale.” And in that case, I disconnected from my body a second time.

Getting basic needs met has typically felt like a struggle. While I’ve been getting better with this aspect, paying attention to my body and the signals it’s sending me, I sometimes relapse and fall back into not responding to those signals. I’ll wait a ridiculous amount of time to go to the bathroom, I won’t eat for very long periods of time. I only go to the doctor if I’m out of contact lenses or my birth control prescription needs to be refilled.

Self-care is a tricky thing. It’s difficult to know what it actually means. We’re constantly telling each other to take care of ourselves, but what does that really entail? Is it annual doctor visits and regular yoga and kickboxing classes? Maybe its  nights out with the girls and a planned vacation here and there. Maybe. While all are important, they also just feel like another thing I need to put on my to do list in order to fulfill the idea that I have a healthy, fulfilling, and successful existence. Even if I’m having a really good day, or week, or few months I never feel like I’m fully taking care of myself. I feel like I’m constantly sacrificing something. I wish I could just go through life feeling nourished, accomplished, and driven. I wish I could feel comfortable in my own body without having to constantly be reminded of or defined by my reproductive system.

In my family, and as I am realizing more and more in broader society, if you didn’t like something that was going on or if someone was doing something that made you uncomfortable it was emphasized that the only thing to do in those situations was ignore it. This way of thinking is inherently fucked for many reasons. I’m sure the reasoning behind it is that it is assumed that the offender will eventually tire of doing the offensive thing.  This may be true, but these are the other things that are taught in those situations: entitlement, disregard of other people’s feelings and boundaries, lack of compassion, lack of compromising skills, lack of personal accountability and responsibility, and lack of empathy. What it teaches the one who is taking offense: your feelings don’t matter, you’re boundaries don’t matter, and neither actually exists. The one being offended is made to deal with and be responsible for the offender and the offences against them. In my life, receiving these messages lead me to down-play any feelings or gut instincts I’ve had in both benign and dangerous situations as well all experiences wonderful and terrible.

If a family member or roommate does/says something that bothers me. Avoid. A cat-caller harasses me on the street and then gets angry and demeans me, chases me down the street, etc. Ignore. I accomplish… anything. It’s not a big deal. And in the case of the more terrible ones I always had this sense that they were somehow my fault. That in some way I chose these experiences and feelings rather than more reasonably they were actually someone else’s fault, or an experience of a normal range of human emotion, pain from having a disease, or pain from just going through puberty. It was as if the Endometriosis was my fault, which snowballed into it being my fault when I was rear-ended by a plumbing truck at age 18, it was my fault when men treated me poorly and made me feel uncomfortable, it was my fault I was raped. But none of that was my fault. I didn’t choose any of those things. Who in their right mind would? Just the thought in itself, is completely ludicrous. Those thoughts happen, when feelings and experiences are ignored. The emotional and psychological effects last much longer and can create much deeper cycles of dysfunction and stagnation if they are not worked through and validated from the get go. Telling women that suffering just comes with the territory and to just deal with it, is a problem.

The feelings of being a burden and a monster were some of the other baggage I have carried moving forward. And it has taken me a lot of practice of getting in the habit of sharing my experiences and authentic feelings and realizing that I’m not going to destroy the person I’m sharing them with. I’ve often been told I’m cool. I never intended to be “the cool girl,” letting situations roll off my back and giving everyone I meet the benefit of the doubt even if they crossed some of my own boundaries and continued to do so. As laid back a person as I feel that I am, I do think it partly became a habit because I never wanted to seem like a crazy bitch and I figured if I let people be who they were, they would return that favor. I didn’t understand for a long time that I could accept people the way that they were and still have boundaries, standards, and needs. And that if anyone felt I was a crazy bitch for having those things and expressing them, then those were probably people I could and should leave behind.

I also began to realize that keeping all of my experiences and stories to myself was what was creating a huge burden on me and when I started to practice sharing I found that I wasn’t alone and I wasn’t a monster. So many of our stories are shared and we don’t always know that because society has shamed our completely human experiences into silence. I volunteered to escort patients at an abortion clinic this recently. There were only three protesters there (since the terrorist attack on a Planned Parenthood in Colorado, the swarms of regular protestors that typically line the block have laid low) and a reporter. The reporter asked me a couple of questions one of which was “Do you feel safe as a volunteer?” I replied that I did, although, I know the great risks in being an escort. The reality is I could be killed volunteering at an abortion clinic, but that the risk is worth it if it begins to change the perception of women being shamed for being born female and for making decisions for themselves. All decisions, let alone ones concerning our bodies. Because the reality is also that because I exist in this world as a woman I am a target no matter where I am. Until the ideas and the language we use and are systematic in all of our institutions to keep that true are discussed, challenged, and dismantled myself and all other women are in danger of being assaulted and killed no matter what.

Why don’t we know more about Endometriosis even in the 15 years since I was diagnosed? Why did studies on the clitoris only start being funded in the 1990s? Why is female pain still not taken seriously within the medical community? Why is it that it’s accepted that boys just play with their penises right out of the womb, but the fact that I and other girls were exploring their bodies and masturbating at 4 or 5 years old and there’s no conversation of it? Why is our sex education only in relation to birthing children while boys get to learn how their bodies actually function? As women, we don’t learn about how our bodies work sexually and we are completely divorced from our anatomy in a way men rarely ever are. We are so objectified and so many women only talk about their bodies with their sexual partners and maybe their doctors that it’s hard to not think of our physical beings of separate entities to ourselves.  I find myself guilty of this constantly, literally thinking of my body as a vehicle to get me from point A to point B and nothing more. It’s taboo for women to talk about our sexuality, even with doctors, except out of the context of being desirable and exciting enough for a man. (For another excellent point of all of these topics, see our project’s wonderful creator Arden Winant’s contribution from a few weeks ago). This heteronormative lens and our lack of knowledge of ourselves only gives us a sense of shame about ourselves.

Furthermore, why are sex education classes not coed? Seriously, if boys (let alone girls) had to learn how the vagina and clitoris function maybe we wouldn’t have to deal with such terrible and disappointing sex.

Women are not a mystery. Saying shit like that is a cop out to not see us and treat us as fully-realized human beings and just leave us behind.

I am not a mystery. I and everything I do is not an extension of male fantasy. I am in the audio production and engineering field and when I go to an Audio Engineering Society Convention, I am not the wife or daughter of whatever male I’m standing next to, I’m your fucking colleague. I am allowed to say fuck and I am allowed to experience and express the completely normal human emotion known as anger. There is generally a lot of talk about “empowerment.” I honestly don’t know what that is. “Female empowerment,” “sexual empowerment,” I don’t really know what these things are supposed to mean and I don’t think I really care that much. All I feel like I can do is help myself live. What did emerge from thinking about these moments was just the idea of care. How do I care for myself in the most trying moments? How do I allow people to care for me in moments where I need it? How do I celebrate myself when things are going well? These and many more questions have been swirling in my subconscious and in the past year have been the main focus of my life. I go to therapy, I share my stories with friends, family, and whoever else I’m ready to share them with. I work my ass off 1) because I love it and 2) because I have to prove I’m on the same level as men by being better than them (hint: because vagina). I go out with friends, I go out in general. All in hopes that it will make my life better and will make the lives of women in general better. I’m still fuming as I write this because the end of being treated like second-class citizens is nowhere in sight and it’s hard going out everyday knowing that I am at risk just because I happened to have been born in this body and I choose to actively exist in it. I still hate that I am made to be aware of my vagina and uterus every single minute of every single fucking day. However, I am no longer in the pain that I once was in and I am continuing to heal. I will no longer accept that suffering is my cross to bear.  I will not be silenced.

Two quick updates... then back to GOT

It has been a while since my last post which is not to say I have not been busy. So I figured I'd share a quick update on the things that have kept me away from writing.

Remember when I added string lights? Well, their awesomeness made the rest of the patio seem rather drab and sort of creepy. So I got to work. See, when I did the big patio renovation 5 years ago, I installed some in-ground lights when everything was still in shambles. They were epic. And then I started losing them, one by one. Maybe it was the passing of time, the never-stopping water, the pesky ants, who knows... but those guys were clearly not meant to last.  Or so I thought...!

Ta-daah! A few new light bulbs, rearranging of the wires and one replaced unit later, my dark corner of the patio is now one glorious well-lit garden!

MEANWHILE... on the inside...

I was finally able to carve enough time to clean out my second bedroom/office. I joke you not, 7 large bags of donations later, I was left with one perfectly furnished room. Which begs the question... how did I accumulate 7 bags worth of donations? We do not need more space, ladies and gentlemen, we just need less stuff (one of my favorite TED talks, by the way).

So these are my two quick updates... I do promise I am working on a few (real) posts for you though! Until then... happy Sunday! And now, back to Game of Thrones :).

One day later

Ok, so after 24 hours of soaking in white vinegar, it’s time to see what we’ve got. And what we’ve got is almost all the surface rust is gone after a good scrub with a wire brush.

After the vinegar, I washed all of the pieces in water with a little baking soda to try and bring the Ph back to normal. I then rubbed down each piece with WD40 and a paper towel to clean off the last bits and get a thin later of oil on the metal so they don’t immediately rust as things tend to do in this part of the world.

Zebra Wood Tenor Ukulele

I’ve had this stripey, spalted Zebra Wood Tenor Ukulele set sitting in the wood stacks for a long time.  I was re-organizing  my wood stocks and decided that it was time to put it to good use.   I also am a sucker for spalted wood of any kind and the pattern of the spalt in this wood added good visual interest.

Zebra Wood Ukulele

I’ve made probably six zebra wood tenor ukulele using this wood and have not been disappointed.  Some of the instruments used conventional tops of spruce or cedar but on this build I decided to use all the remaining stock for top, back and sides.  The wood density compares with Koa and Myrtle woods so I found that the response and tonal qualities similar but tending to mimic Mahogany.  Zebra Wood is, however, a bit more porous than either Koa, Myrtle or Mahogany Macrophilia.  I’ve seen quite a few “laminate” instruments made from this wood but very few custom instruments.  If you have a craving to know more about Zebra Wood, go to Woods of the World Database.

The neck is a dark, solid Sapele (carbon fiber “passive” truss rod, of course), and the finger board and bridge are Munn Ebony. The accent wood is Hawaiian Koa.  The binding is India Rosewood with black/white maple purfling.

This is a solid wood instrument.  It may not be traditional, but personally, I think it is good management to use laminates in acoustic instrument construction where possible.   If well managed, laminates can produce extremely attractive, good sounding, and very strong acoustic instruments.  I remember my 25 year old brand X “car” guitar was predominately constructed of laminates–I think I dropped the big bucks at $165.  I must have carried that instrument around for at least 12 years in the car without a case and in every weather condition imaginable.  Not only did it not self destructed but it sounded great.  It has now found a new home with a friend who is continuing the tradition.   More and more I am seeing acoustic builders experiment with different construction techniques using laminates of wood and aerospace materials.  If you have a moment check out some of the innovations at Ryan Guitars.  I think you will be impressed!

The effects of mood in all areas of our life is well documented, however I wanted to recount a scenario where a positive mood became the danger.

I hear you say how can that be? Normally it’s a bad mood that places you at risk, such as when you’re running late in the morning because the dog ate your socks or one of the kids had hidden your keys, but a good mood?!

Well it took me by surprise too initially, however thinking about the scenario made me analyse and understand it better.

I had, had a great day out with the family, good food, good company and great weather what more could I ask for. Feeling on top of the world I set off in the early summer evening to return home, there was no rush my family and I were just returning home.

Driving down the country road at 40mph chatting to my family whilst some jazz played in the background, I couldn’t have been more relaxed.

It was twenty minutes into the drive when on passing a small roundabout I noticed a van approaching us, I didn’t quite register what my eyes were actually seeing but my subconscious jolted my conscious state into activity.

What my eyes had actually seen was that this van was on the wrong side of the road and even more astonishing was the fact the driver was on his phone.

Immediately my reaction was to flash and sound my horn to alert him to my presence whilst checking my mirrors and managing my speed in anticipation of what could happen.

Thankfully after my sounding the horn the van driver realised what was happening and swerved his vehicle back onto his side of the road.

His face was visibly drained and he signalled an apology, this all took place in an instant and luckily no one was hurt.

Having read this you may question how did the good mood factor into the scenario, well on reflection I can see that my conscience mind was not focusing on the present, it was so relaxed enjoying the flood of endorphins floating about after such a lovely day. Had it not been for the stored memory in my subconscious mind that was still alert to danger, I may not have been able to respond so quickly.

It became apparent that the repetitive reinforcement of safe driving to clients was fuelling my own mind to remain safety alert at all times. Had this not been the case I’m sure that my small scenario would have become life changing.

What is obvious is that we are all vulnerable and the training we deliver to our clients is what will matter when they are by themselves.

[Editorial] Weathering storm

By Korea Herald

Korea needs new exports strategy to overcome trade challenges

  • Published : Apr 6, 2018 - 17:13
  • Updated : Apr 6, 2018 - 17:13

Trade tensions between the US and China are escalating, although it is still early to determine if it will become a full-scale economic war between the world’s two biggest powers.

In the latest in a series of tit-for-tat actions, US President Donald Trump has instructed the US trade representative to consider imposing tariffs on an additional $100 billion worth of products from China.

Trump gave the instruction after China announced plans to slap major US exports of $50 billion, including soybeans, cars and aircraft, with retaliatory tariffs. The Chinese action was taken in retaliation for the US announcement that it would impose punitive tariffs on Chinese exports worth $50 billion over Beijing‘s alleged theft of US intellectual property and technology.

The latest actions taken by both sides seem to carry greater political implication than previous ones in that they apparently aim to damage the political standing of their own leaders -- US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The newest US action on Chinese exports apparently targets industries Xi cherishes as China’s new growth engines, with which he hopes to develop the country into an advanced manufacturing power by 2025. The industries include medical equipment, bio-pharmaceuticals, industrial robots, telecommunication equipment, advanced chemical products, aerospace, marine engineering and electric vehicles and semiconductors.

In turn, the Chinese decision to include soybeans and pork is seen as a calculated move to damage Trump because they are major export items from the “Farm Belt” in which the US president enjoys high popularity.

What is fortunate is that neither side seems intent to enter full-scale trade war. Trump said the US was “still prepared” to have discussions. Chinese officials also said when the tariff hike might take effect would be announced later “depending on what the US government does.”

What is certain, however, is that the jabs and punches the world’s two biggest economies have been exchanging herald the growth of trade protectionism. Korea, whose trade accounts for nearly 80 percent of its gross domestic product, is already bearing brunt of the latest protectionist wave.

The Trump administration has imposed safeguard duties on Korean washers and solar panels. Washington exempted Korea at the last minute from a list of countries to be subject to a new 25 percent tariff for steel products, but Korean firms still have to cut back on their exports quota.

Exports to China face uncertainties, too. For instance, chips produced in China by Korean firms Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are not yet subject to new US import restrictions. But Samsung and SK hynix chips put into devices and equipment made by Chinese companies may face higher export barriers to the US.

Korea cannot but suffer heavily if exports to the two economies, which account for 36 percent of the total outbound shipments, falter. Moreover, a rising wave of trade protectionism would certainly damage Korean exports to other markets as well.

Given the situation, the Korean government was well advised to announce plans to weather trade tensions between the US and China. As the Trade Ministry aptly suggested, one of the more urgent tasks is accelerating efforts to expand export destinations.

Primary targets should include Southeast Asia, India and Russia and its neighbors. The Moon Jae-in government has already unveiled ambitious plans to develop closer relations with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and Russia, and the efforts should focus on economic ties.

Hastening negotiations on multilateral trade pacts -- like the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership that includes the 10 ASEAN member states, South Korea, Australia, China, India, Japan and New Zealand -- will also help overcome trade woes. Officials have said they would positively consider joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Diversification of export items in a way to increase the portions of services and new industries is also necessary to minimize impacts from the growing threats to global free trade.

Music Review: ‘SURGE’ – Obiora Obiwon feat. Glowreeyah Braimah

By: ’Funmilola Olukomaiya
Source: Obiwon
Date: September 10, 2018

The inspiration behind the ‘SURGE’ is an outcry for the sudden powerful forward or upward movement of the Spirit of God all should feel deep within, one that has been sometimes called ‘reawakening of spirituality’.

‘SURGE’ is an almost six minutes of good music with great dynamics, ushered with sustained flowing lines and rich, resonant chords. It is an eclectic number that exudes evocative rhythmic intensity with a great sense of electric spark. It is easily relatable and with a reminiscent tempo and consistent rhythm; it is not out of place to say that the mood of the song was well played out.

The song has an interesting intro, one that is atmospheric and captures your imagination right from its start, it is an amazing Urban Pop-rock song with great energy. It establishes a good beat that sets up the song. The intro starts with an expressively stirring tone from the piano which was soon followed by an electrifying bass presence that helps to lead into the song naturally. The intro stands out and led well into the chorus of the song. The intro is so full of energy.

‘SURGE’ is required for a sudden reawakening of spirituality; restoration of dead areas, lost gifts and skills; destruction of stagnancy, redundancy and oppression in the path of the individual’s original purpose and destiny in God through Christ.

The song is tuneful and interesting. This exciting musical composition brings out a sense of vibrant energy with its brisk tempo and fiery rhythms. The snare drum upbeats and piano melody is effective and provides smooth linkages between sections. It is a rousing number that exudes rhythmic intensity and creates a haunting and eclectic sound. It is the kind of tune that would be easy to remember with a commercially positive and confident quality; it is not one song that you can get out of your head for days.

Obiwon’s vocal quality in this number is a rich tone that clearly expresses the lyrics of the song. The vocal quality of his backup singers are sharp as they may sound great and are comfortable with their high notes as the song climaxes.

Glowreeyah sings her verse with each sound and note sharply detached/separated from the others. Her voice resonated the essence of the song by adding more energy and smack.

The rich and resonant piano melody and the crisp and exact percussion soothes the scene throughout, as the main theme is somewhat developed. This composition would make for a good congregational revival worship song.

‘SURGE’, which also means Send. Us. Revival. Greatly and Exceedingly – is an expression of a spiritual force emphasising the intervention of the Spirit of God, which gives a great awakening and revival.

The song expressively relays the lyrics supported by great voice texture and vocal quality – the singers are comfortable with the high notes as the harmonisation was well served without going screechy.

Whilst there is a great, solid beat and strong engaging melody that grabs you and carries you along, the rhythmic effects are flowing, energetic and pronounced and at the same time, consistent and convincing too. The song has a rich variety of interesting and expressive instruments, quite distinctive and memorable. The arrangement is tasteful and suits the mood of the song.

The song is very expressive and the musical instruments used relayed the message of the song well. Obiwon and Glowreeyah’s rich voices and diminuendo made it electrifying yet interesting by varying the rhythm and dynamics, thereby ensuring that they avoided a boring mechanical strum throughout. The digital effects of the digital violin in this number is striking and really enhanced the song, thereby adding to its rich sound.

What is also striking is that the lyrics of the song is easy to make out. There is clarity of words and diction; easy flow of words with no confusion or unnecessary sematic noise. Obiwon chose words and phrases that are relatable with sound and natural rhythmic quality.

Inspired by a need for the intervention of the Spirit of God in the affairs of men with great signs and wonders in the politico-economic and socio-cultural spheres of the nations and in all sphere of human endeavour; a move that will bring in the harvests like never before in preparation for His imminent return, ‘SURGE’ is electric and engaging with original lyrics filled with life and energy.

The song ended on a soft note with the soft and soothing feel of the piano and the lead singers – it was conclusive.

Overall, the song is amazing with rich imagery and magnificent energy as the singers are natural, talented, professional and full of energy; the song is good to the ears.

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The new Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy at the University of Southern California will offer a curriculum aimed to help young innovators create the next iPod or Facebook.

The hip-hop mogul best known as Dr. Dre and the co-founder of Interscope Records appeared at a news conference Wednesday alongside USC President C. L. Max Nikias to announce the new program funded by a $70 million donation by the two music superstars.

The university president characterized the donation as the largest gift from the entertainment industry to American higher education.

The Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation will provide a special four-year program for undergraduates whose interests span fields from marketing to computer science to visual design and other arts. It will include one-on-one faculty mentoring with professors from programs around the university and interaction with entertainment industry luminaries.

The academy “will be a new standard in higher education,” said its dean and executive director Erica Muhl.

“Somebody is going to design the next iPod, the next Facebook, the next breakthrough in how we live,” she said. “We want that to happen at the Iovine-Young Academy.”

It will accept its first class of 25 students in the fall of 2014. Full scholarships will be offered.

Iovine and Young have been friends, collaborators and business partners for 20 years. Young is best known as a producer, rapper and co-owner of Death Row records. He later started his own record label, Aftermath Entertainment. Iovine is the co-founder of Interscope Records, chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M and a mentor on “American Idol.” Together, the two men started Beats Electronics LLC, the parent company of the Beats by Dr. Dre line of popular high-end headphones and other music devices.

HTC Corp. bought a majority share in Beats in 2010, but later sold half of the shares back to the founders. Iovine and Young are now majority owners.

“We’ve been given a lot, and we thought this was a great way to give back by doing this academy,” Young said. “I guess I’m an official Trojan now.”

Iovine, whose daughter Jessica recently graduated from USC, said that among today’s high-school graduates is “a new kid with different skills” that reflect the high-tech and digitally connected world they’ve grown up in.

“This is about treating what a kid is today,” he said. “This place is a dream factory. This place is where you don’t have to get stuck in calculus to succeed at this school. It has other ways through, other paths.”

Young said he would have loved to attend a program like the one he's establishing at USC rather than developing his business and creative skills on the job. Neither he nor Iovine are college graduates.

“This is an incredible thing for all the youngsters who are trying to do some of the things I’ve done in my career,” Young said.

The two men also offered advice to USC students and graduates, as well as those who’d like to attend their namesake academy.

“You don’t have to be smarter than the next guy; you’ve got to work harder than the next guy,” Iovine said.

Added Young: “Just believe and bet on yourself at all times. And stay determined.”

The Cast

The Student

Full of boundless energy and the desire to “be a good boy and go bumper bowling”, Joey is the protagonist in this adventure. He is also the guinea pig that we use to test our parenting techniques.

The Princess

Trusty sidekick to her big brother, Gianna won’t hesitate to sneak him a kick to the side. She’s adorable and smart and poses the biggest threat to our sanity.

The Smiler

Unfazed by the chaos that surrounds her on a daily basis, Gabby is guilty of one thing: unrelentless smiling. That and ripping all the books off the shelf.

The Glue

This beauty is the reason why I know I’ll never win the lottery. How many people ever win it twice? Dani is a Jersey girl at heart, which means she’s strong and sweet. She’s also the reason why The Student, The Princess, and The Smiler are so darn cute.

The Scribe

This is me. I’m here to document this wild journey for posterity and hopefully as an inspiration to those who need proof that they aren’t the only ones doing it wrong. We don’t have everything figured out, we aren’t perfect, but we do all have unconditional love for one another. That’s good enough for me.

Ayahs of the Day:
If We wished, We would send a sign to them from the sky so their necks would bow to it in submission. But whenever a reminder from the Benevolent One comes to them, newly revealed, they turn away from it, so they have repudiated truth; but news of what they used to sneer at will soon come to them. [26: 4,5,6]

Hadith of the Day:
The one with good morals and character already owns the best of this world and the Hereafter. [Tabarani]

Wise Quote of the Day:
The source of every disobedience, indifference, and passion is self-satisfaction. The source of every obedience, vigilance, and virtue is dissatisfaction with one's self. [Ibn Ataillah]

Guidance of the Day:
Relationships are the greatest challenge that we face as human beings. If living one's own life is difficult, living with another person is incredibly difficult. Yet this is the way in which we really refine our personalities. We are thrown headfirst into the areas of our deficiencies, forced to confront the many issues that we still need to learn. Yet it is because of this challenge that relationships become a part of our spiritual work.

Just as love flows from within and expands into widening circles, so relationships move in cyclical forms. There is something cyclical about the nature of love between people that allows people to fall away from love and then return to it. We keep recreating it. Love is a natural thing; it is simply there, if we don't push it away. We are each born with love in us. Unfortunately, as we move through life, most of us accumulate blocks to loving. If we can just get the blocks out of the way, the love naturally fills our being. [Handbook for the Heart]

Food for Thought:
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. It is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. He that can have patience can have what he will. Our patience will achieve more than our force. Patience is power; with time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes silk.

Letterstime - Ein Geleitzug - Homeward Bound? Part IV

July 3, 1915

“At dawn, Admiral DeRobeck faced fogs, one from Gaia, Mother Nature, and another from Mars, God of War.” ----------------------------- Lady Christine Letters, ibid, page 831

---- Warspite, All Stop

Like Baron Letters, DeRobeck had had to make do with almost no sleep. Unlike the Baron who had WANTED to be underway, DeRobeck had never paused, rail to port, car to pier, and cruiser to dreadnought.

The dawn rendezvous had gone flawlessly, despite the poorish visibility.

“Good morning, sir,” offered Captain Swafford to Admiral De Robeck, as the latter came aboard. They continued to exchange civilities as they made their way up to the bridge.

“Sir,” began the OOD upon their arrival, and he proceeded to report that the small boat had returned and been recovered by the cruiser. Within minutes, the fleet was again underway.

Swafford had expected De Robeck to use Marlborough as his flagship, as the Iron Duke class had better space for flag folk than the Queen Elizabeths. Still, Warspite was not only the newest, but she also had flown the flag of Admiral J[ellic]oe on the most recent sortie. Swafford still had no specific knowledge as to why De Robeck had chosen Warspite, but worried that the GF CO might expect a steady diet of insights like the one a couple weeks earlier. (NOTE 1)

---- Queen Elizabeth

“There’s the ‘Execute’, sir.”

“Very well,” Admiral Keyes acknowledged and nodded to Captain Dave.

“Ahead Standard,” ordered Dave. The flags had specified 15 knots. De Robeck’s previous practice had been to form up at that speed and then to increase to 20; this time was apparently not to be an exception. The force’s nine dreadnoughts were steaming three abreast in columns of three. Warspite’s trio, which included St. Vincent and Agincourt, occupied the central position while Keyes’ threesome of Queen Elizabeth, Bellerophon, and Neptune comprised the port group. On the far side to starboard, steamed Admiral Gaunt with Marlborough, Colossus, and Vanguard.

In an overtly-social gathering of senior non-flag officers earlier that week, Commander Moyer - Dave’s XO - had once again offered the hope that Warspite and Queen Elizabeth might form one group, a fast wing, so to speak. Swafford had shaken his graying, scholarly locks at the notion, not giving it much chance but he had opined that, once Barham joined in October, or maybe even September, prospects might well improve. Dave’s Chief Engineer, Commander Gates, had nodded at that. Dave’s Gunner, the redoubtable Commander Boy, had observed that De Robeck could always trump everything with a few flag hoists, perhaps implying that De Robeck’s choice of Warspite as his flagship might overlay a clandestine preservation of flexibility. Boy hadn’t put it quite that way (actually, no one was quite sure HOW he’d put it), but that’s how Dave had translated it.

---- Frankfurt, speed 5 knots, course 190

The guns had settled in to a pace more measured than earlier, reflecting the reduction in suitable targets.

“Crack. Crack-crack!”

Vogel had made one long pass, then come about and almost completed another. The pier was in flames through over half its length, and most of the vessels tied up alongside had been sunk or had joined the conflagration.

He had begun to feel something between his shoulder blades. It was neither a tickle nor an itch, but yet it was something along those lines. He flexed his shoulders uneasily inside his uniform. It didn’t help. It was almost as though someone was drawing a serrated fern frond along his spine, sometimes tickling, sometimes rasping, but always annoying. Had he felt that before? A kind of immanence? He looked away from the pier, scanning the horizon, and checking on his scattered torpedo boats. Had it been back during Frankfurt’s approach to Kiel, just before the sentry ship was hit by that torpedo? When, unknown to him, another pair had already been launched at him? He licked his lips and started to scan for periscopes.

The hell with it! Enough was enough.

“Cease fire! Left full rudder. Come to course 090.”

“Sir, my rudder is left full ....”

“Ahead Full, make turns for 20 knots.”

“Sir, engineering acknowledges 20 knots.”

“Very well. Signals Officer, hoist recall.”

Thus, Regensburg’s signal barely a hand of minutes later was not much of a surprise. The “Recall” from Admiral Necki, 20 minutes after that, came as no surprise at all.

---- B.110, All Stop

Regensburg’s signal had not come as a surprise to Oberleutnant Kelly, either, but only because “surprise” was far too mild a word.

He started to order a blast from the whistle, had his mouth already open, in fact, but changed his mind. That signal would be hard for his boarding party to interpret and would carry further than he’d prefer just now.

There! His backup boarders were lined up midships a few meters aft, at the starboard davit amidships. Probably, he shouldn’t leave the bridge, but he was five steps on his way before he considered that point.

“Your pistol!”

The young and very junior officer jumped, his mouth gaping open at the sudden appearance of his commanding officer.

“Your Luger! Now!”

The kid fumbled at his holster and got it out.

Kelley grabbed it, readied it, and pointed it into the sky.

“Crack-crack-crack- ....” Kelly fired off the entire clip as fast as he could pull the trigger.

“Danke,” he muttered, and headed back to the bridge on a run. Only later would he consider that he might’ve left them wondering as to his sanity.

“Boats are clear, sir,” came the report as he was stepping back onto the bridge.

The 88 mm shells began to slam into the waterline of the small British merchant, which quickly started to list. Kelly took a breath as he watched, the loud and reverberating “whanng-whanng” sounds were sweet martial music to his ears. The name on her bow was Terrione, though why a Britisher would be named after a mountain in Sicily, Kelly had no idea and doubted he’d ever learn why. It would just have to remain another mystery of conflict.

“Sir, boarders back aboard. No casualties.”

“Very well.”

“Sir, smoke plumes, bearing 145. Looks to be Regensburg.”

“Very well,” Kelly acknowledged, but gave no new orders.

He had full confidence in his command and had absolutely no intention of allowing himself to be forced off his prize before he was certain she was gone, and he was not about to waste a torpedo on her. Fire was now starting to show on the doomed merchantman, and smoke began to blow out of various openings. The wind shifted slightly, bringing the fumes their way and he wrinkled his noise at the stink of whatever was in Terrione. Fish? Fertilizer? He’d have to ask the boarding party leader for the manifest later.

“Sir, more plumes! Bearing 170.”

“Very well,” he acknowledged. Time to go.

“Ahead full, 20 knots. Helm, as you get way, put us onto 090.”

Kelly looked back at the burning merchant once his torpedo boat steadied up on the ordered course. Already, the ship had slipped below the waves, leaving only a spreading stain of smoldering scum on the water to mark where it had been.

“Sir, answering Ahead Full - 20 knots. Steady on course 090.”

“Very well. Ahead Flank, 28 knots.”

---- Warspite, course 180, speed 15 knots

The fog was showing some signs of lifting, Swafford thought, hopefully.

“Sir, from Commodore Tyrewhitt: ‘German flotilla sighted.’ The position looks to be somewhere below Lowestoft.” Try as he might, the senior staff officer had been unable to keep a thread of disbelief out of his voice.

“Show me.”

De Robeck, Swafford, and a couple others moved over to the chart. A few deft movements of calipers yielded a small “x” about 25 miles ESE of Aldeburgh, Suffolk.

Swafford noted the deepening furrows in De Robeck’s brow. The questions troubling the GF CO were obvious. Room 40 had projected a dawn sortie for the High Seas Fleet. The flagship had been reported to be moored at dusk, and at least one overnight wireless from it had placed it in or around Wilhelmshaven. So, what was a flotilla doing so far from port, let alone so near the English coast? Even if the HSF had exited port at midnight, they would hardly be in support range of the flotilla that Tyrewhitt seemed perfectly poised to snap up.

But what if the HSF had left right at dusk? Ever the hands-on instructor, Swafford itched to pick up the calipers and measure. Then, just before he could do so, one of De Robeck’s senior staff officers did just that. Swafford watched him set them at about 20 nautical miles, then flip them over and over for each hour since nightfall. How distant could a scout force be and still be considered to be within support range of the Main Body? It didn’t seem to matter; it looked to be too far by any definition.

So, was it simply a small scouting force? Probing the readiness of the Harwich Force? If the latter, Swafford thought, the Germans might again discover that intelligence came at some cost. De Robeck had cannily positioned well to the south in his van perhaps the only warrior to emerge from the May 31 debacle with reputation untarnished, indeed, even burnished. That intrepid force commander had eluded Letters’ battlecruisers into whom Sturdee had blundered to extinction, had next brilliantly tracked down the HSF Main Body and warned J[ellic]oe in time for him to join battle on his own chosen terms, and who - still not done - had led the great dusk torpedo attack into the very heart of the High Seas Fleet, thereby inflicting such great damage that the Huns were forced to break off their pursuit and retire to Wilhelmshaven to lick their wounds.

Swafford glanced over at the Commander - Grand Fleet. Yes, the admiral was staring down at the map, nodding his head, one finger tip on that same force.

“Signals Officer ....”

---- Southampton, course 180, speed 15 knots

Commander Dedmon, the cruiser XO, could not see a thing. The lookout section chief had reported the fog to be thinning, and that those aloft were now above the bank and could scan some distance. That did not help Dedmon’s vision, though, and he hated being dependent on the lookouts above and those in the bows. This did not, however, appear to faze his CO four steps away.

Commodore Nott stood staring into the fog in what, Commander Dedmon had to admit, might very well be a heroic pose. Nott strove to be the epitome of a commodore, especially after his command had been redesignated “First Light Cruiser” but otherwise left untouched, even whilst massive reorganizations fell all about in the aftermath of the May 31 battle. The untimely demise of Commodores Hawksley and Alexander-Sinclair had also lent Nott new stature. In any case, Nott’s star shone quite bright these days and his inevitable pretensions had forced Dedmon into striving to be a model ship XO and chief of staff. (NOTE 3)

“Commodore, from Warspite ....”

Nott read the proffered slip. Fog or no, Dedmon could see the commodore’s nostrils flair wide open like the intakes of some bodily engine.

“Signals Officer, hoist 25 knots!”

Dedmon flinched. Perhaps commodores COULD see through fog better than mere mortals? Some quality afforded by epaulettes? Further cynicism was averted by Nott handing over the message.

“Come to course 150.”

Nott strode over to the starboard side of the bridge and gazed into Southampton’s wake, presumably to personally ensure that Birmingham was altering to follow. Dedmon doubted that even epaulette-enhanced eyes could see Nottingham or Dublin further back.

---- Room 40

The reports had begun to come in 30 minutes ago, but they were incoherent at first.

Commander Jan watched as flag officers stared at the maps and traded gestures. Truth be known, there was little chaos despite appearances to the contrary. The first signals to come in had Lowestoft under attack, but that had been cleared up in short order, with the confusion stemming from where the call had been relayed. Nonetheless, calls to Lowestoft had been in order, and the all clear from there had been swift. It took only a few more minutes to determine that it was Southwold that was being shelled.

The problem was that it was not at all clear just what was doing the shelling.

Fortunately, they were soon able to rule out any chance that the offenders were dreadnought battleships or dreadnought battlecruisers. Beyond that, though, confusion remained with camps seemingly evenly divided between armored cruisers and light cruisers. As reported, the ships seemed too small to be the former, but the guns seemed to be too large for the latter.

“Armored cruisers,” said one admiral. “Of course! Damn their eyes! We shift our armored cruisers away and the Hun shifts his into the void!”

“Like chess!”

“Indeed, and can we conclude now that Letters knows our convoy plans?”

“I wouldn’t doubt it for an instant!”

“Sir,” inserted Jan into the verbal fray, “any new information on Letters? Is he still coming up as in Wilhelmshaven?”

“Nothing new, sir,” replied another officer. “Wilhelmshaven sent an acknowledgment, probably to a bombardment report, but it didn’t come from any repeater of his, and it didn’t contain any designator or call sign of his.”

So, was the High Seas Fleet at sea, or not? What was that Letters up to now?

In any case, they now knew enough to compose some sort of sensible signal for the Commander - Grand Fleet.

---- Warspite, course 180, speed 15 knots

“Sir, from the Admiralty!”

De Robeck took it calmly enough, but Swafford could tell he was startled.

“Bombarding Southwold?! Is that who Tyrewhitt’s chasing?”

It didn’t take a look at the map to see that such was possible. Or were there two forces? If so, why only one bombardment? Or had they just not gotten word of another yet?

“Armoured cruisers?”

It made some sense, as Yorck and Roon had been involved in much the same thing at Yarmouth and Hartlepool early in the war. (NOTE 4) Still, those vessels were probably not much faster than 21 knots and, being older ships with poorer coal, might not make that. They mounted 8.2" guns, though, and plentiful 5.9" secondaries. They could prove a tough nut for the Harwich Force to crack, especially if they had a flotilla or two along. If they got clean away, it would be another slap in the face of the RN and HMG.

But Letters was still sitting tied up in Wilhelmshaven? Or was he? Had the Germans finally figured out Room 40?

De Robeck reached a decision, fog or no fog. Letters in port or at sea, one force or two, or even three - any force cored with armored cruisers offered just too much for Harwich Force to profitably tackle, but his friend Admiral Heath just might get avenged this day.

“Hoist 20 knots.”

Author’s NOTEs:

1) On June 19, see here:

2) For a look at a similar map:

3) Professor Blue (University of Aberdeen Press) would not publish Nott In Vain until after the Great War.

4) Historical - November 3, 1914 for Yarmouth, and December 16, 1914 for Hartlepool.
