Dietrich Schubert, Wilhelm Lehmbruck - Catalogue raisonné der Skulpturen, 1898-1919, Worms 2001, p.206 (two other lifetime casts illustrated, nos. 152 and 153)
Professor Dr. Dietrich Schubert has examined the work and confirmed its authenticity. His statement, dated 'July 2010, Heidelberg', accompanies the sculpture.
Professor Schubert states that the sculpture is [...] one of only very few lifetime casts of the figure made in Paris before 1914. Before the discovery of the present sculpture, only two lifetime casts of the figure were recorded. This third cast will be listed in the catalogue raisonné of Lehmbruck's sculptures.
The motif of a female bather with one foot resting on a stone or rock is a subject that has preoccupied artists since antiquity. The Renaissance saw a revival of interest in the subject - one example is Giambologna's Bathing Venus. The motif was taken up by nineteenth-century artists like Max Klinger, Louis Tuaillon and Aristide Maillol. Lehmbruck is known to have greatly admired Maillol's work. The present figure was executed in Lehmbruck's Parisian period between 1910 and 1914. It exemplifies how his preoccupation with the classical tradition and classical ideals led him to develop his own highly original style of sculptural expression. A number of preliminary drawings (Munich, Graphische Sammlung; Duisburg LN 117, 123) dating from the same period show him experimenting with the motif. A further group of drawings dating from this period depict a male figure in a similar position. Although the male figure is interpretable as a pendant Lehmbruck did not execute a sculpture of the subject.
The present sculpture is a lifetime cast executed in Paris under the artist's supervision. It has none of the deficiencies in quality common to the posthumous, unauthorized casts[1] of the figure. It bears the inscription A. Rudier, the inscription of the famous Parisian foundry Rudier established by Alexis Rudier (d.1897). Rudier's son Eugène (1875-1952) later took over the business, building it up to become one of the leading foundries of its day. It produced casts for Auguste Rodin, Aristide Maillol and Antoine Bourdelle and was also involved in casting some of the outstanding bronzes of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Like Rodin, Maillol and Bourdelle, Lehmbruck would almost certainly have supervised the casting of the present sculpture himself and had a hand in the working up of its marvellously rich patina.
[1] It is not just the overall quality of the cast, the quality of its surface and the richness of its patina that distinguish the present figure from later casts. The distance between the right heel and the ground - only 4.1 cm - is a further distinguishing feature. This distance is shorter than in the innumerable posthumous casts of the figure. It is identical to the relevant measurement in the case of the two lifetime casts recorded in the catalogue raisonné. See Dietrich Schubert, Wilhelm Lehmbruck: Catalogue raisonné der Skulpturen, 1898-1919, Worms 2001, no. 54. B. a.1 and 2. Both are A. Rudier casts. Professor Schubert, the author of the catalogue raisonné, has set stringent standards for meeting his authenticity criteria. His objective is to limit Lehmbruck's sculptural oeuvre to a core body of work and exclude the large number of new casts made over a period of decades after his death. Following Lehmbruck's suicide in 1919, his widow had new casts made right through to the 1940s. Lehmbruck's sons continued to commission casts from the 1950s to the 1970s. Unauthorized casts of Girl with one Foot Resting on a Rock have also come onto the art market. Some of these casts are stamped with the foundry mark H. Gonot/Paris while others are unmarked. These casts are of poor quality and often smaller in format. In many cases the figure itself has been cast separately and a plinth added. In the case of forged casts, about two centimetres have been found to have been added to the lower edge of the model/bronze to obtain the standard height of 63/64 cm compensating for the loss of height in casting a sculpture from a negative matrix.

Port Hercule, Monaco
Monaco Yacht Show 2011 was a resounding success, leaving behind a wake of industry movement which surely perpetuated the growing positivity surrounding the Superyacht Industry. We spoke to some of the most influential members of the superyacht community to gain an insight into how the show was shaping up for them.
Joining us at the Breaking News Centre were the likes of Hein Velema, CEO of Fraser Yachts; Henk de Vries of Feadship; Jamie Edmiston, Director of Edmiston and Linley; Kevin Merrigan, Managing Director of Northrop & Johnson; Eric de Saintdo, CEO and Chairman of Camper & Nicholsons; Espen Oeino; Captain Paul Watson of Sea Shepherd; Donald Starkey, Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show to name just a few.
The Superyachts.com 18-man team successfully filmed and edited over 40 different interviews with key industry representatives, so what kind of feeling did we ascertain from the exhibitors of the 2011 Monaco Yacht Show?
At the start of the show, Gaëlle Tallarida noted, “Now it’s not any more our show, so it’s the down to the exhibitors, our big work is over … what we can see from the moment is that it’s already really crowded … It’s difficult to walk on the docks; it’s certainly a good idea of what will happen for the next three days.”

We can all feel fearful and anxious at times. However, when these feelings are very strong and persistent they cause much distress, and interfere with everyday life. In this case they may represent a clinical ‘anxiety disorder’. Anxiety disorders are, in fact, the most common mental health problem likely to affect people. Indeed, a survey of mental disorders across the whole of Europe in 2010 found that anxiety disorders of one kind or another affected almost 15% of the European population, that is over 60 million people.
There are many different kinds of anxiety disorders, some of which make life particularly difficult, For example, generalised anxiety disorder is characterised by an overwhelming and uncontrollable sense of worry about almost all aspects of one’s life. Other anxiety disorders can manifest as panic attacks and fear of going out; this can be so bad that sufferers become housebound. Post-traumatic stress disorder can occur in anyone who has been subject to, or witnessed, a life-threatening or horrifying event. This can lead to a constant state of arousal, nightmares and avoidance of any reminders associated with the event.
For all these conditions, in most people specific psychological treatments are highly effective. Many of the treatments currently recommended by NICE were developed in the University Department of Psychiatry which continues to work closely with the Oxford Health Foundation Trust in devising new treatments that can be readily implemented in an NHS setting. We are also performing work on the effects of combining medication and psychological treatments for people experiencing panic disorder and social anxiety (with Andrea Reinecke and Catherine Harmer).

'All my dreams are shattered': coronavirus crushes Asia’s garment industry
By Thu Thu Aung, Ruma Paul, Poppy McPherson
YANGON/DHAKA/BANGKOK (Reuters) - Zarchi Lwin pawned her only two gold bangles for $140 when the owner of the Myanmar factory where she sewed winter coats for British retailer Next Plc shut it down after orders dried up due to the coronavirus.

She is one of hundreds of thousands of garment workers across Asia who have been laid off, according to the Workers Rights Consortium, a labour rights campaign group, and are now struggling to survive with little welfare support, mired in debt and in many cases reliant on food handouts.
“If I have a job and an income, I can pay for medical treatment for my mother,” Zarchi Lwin, 29, told Reuters from the home she shares with her 56-year-old mother, who has lung disease, in a shanty town on the outskirts of Yangon. “Now no income, no job,” she said, fighting back tears. “We don’t know what to do.”
Next temporarily closed all its stores in Britain in March due to the coronavirus. The company said in a statement it had only cancelled some orders and “endeavoured to be fair” to its suppliers. KGG, the factory where Zarchi Lwin worked, did not respond to requests for comment.
Since the 1960s, Asia has grown into the world’s garment factory, sending about $670 billion worth of clothes, shoes and bags a year to Europe, the United States and richer Asian countries, according to the International Labour Organization, a United Nations agency.
After non-essential stores were closed in many countries and people were told to stay at home to prevent further spread of the disease, international retailers from ASOS Plc to New Look said they cancelled orders with garment makers. Factory owners in Myanmar, Bangladesh and Cambodia immediately shut down thousands of factories and sent home workers with little or no pay.
Retailers generally place orders at least three months ahead of delivery and pay for the finished product when it is delivered. Initially most retailers cancelled all outstanding orders, but many adjusted their position in March and April after a public outcry, agreeing to pay for goods that had already been manufactured or were mid-production.
To finish pending orders, about half of Bangladesh’s 4,000 garment factories have reopened, according to garment manufacturer associations. About 150 of Myanmar’s 600 or so factories have shut down, while 200 out of 600 or so are closed in Cambodia.
Many factories that have reopened are struggling to enforce social distancing and good hygiene practices in often cramped conditions, two union officials told Reuters. “Most of the factories are not complying with the safety guidelines,” said Babul Akter, president of the Bangladesh Garment and Industrial Workers Federation, adding that dozens of garment workers had been infected with the virus. “Just placing hand-washing systems and checking temperatures at the entrances will not help. Inside the factories, when the workers work so closely, how will they maintain safe distancing?”
Factbox: Fashion brands cut orders with Asian garment makers
Some orders have been trickling back. Swedish fashion retailer H&M said it only paused orders for two weeks at the height of the virus outbreak. U.S.-based Walmart Inc, the world’s largest retailer, said it placed new orders with Asian manufacturers last month.
For a list of retailers and the status of their orders with Asian garment makers, see FACTBOX
STAY OR GO BACK HOME?
Despite the new orders, several garment manufacturers said the low volume of work on the books means many factories in Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Cambodia will not be viable, which means many of the young women who make up the majority of the workforce will no longer have jobs. That leaves them torn between returning to families in the countryside, where there are few employment opportunities, or enduring life in the city in the hope that factories will reopen at full capacity.
The European Union has created a wage fund for workers in Myanmar worth 5 million euros ($5.3 million) to pay a portion of the salaries of the most vulnerable for three months. Myanmar has promised to cover 40% of the salaries of workers whose factories were closed on government orders until they pass inspections for preventing the spread of the coronavirus. More than 58,000 have been laid off, according to the country’s garment manufacturer association.
In Bangladesh, one million workers were furloughed or laid off by late March, according to the Penn State Center for Global Workers’ Rights, although some have since returned to work. About 75,000 have not been paid for March, according to the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), which estimates tens of thousands more will not be paid wages owed to them.
The government has announced a $588 million aid package for its export sector to help pay employees. Garment manufacturers, which estimate they have lost almost $3 billion in exports since the start of April, said the funds are not enough. Foreign-owned firms and joint ventures are not eligible for payments.
In Cambodia, where about 60,000 garment workers have been “suspended,” according to the country’s manufacturer association, workers have been promised $70 per month - $40 from the government and $30 from the employer - but that amounts to just over a third of the current minimum wage.
In that country’s capital, Phnom Penh, 39-year-old Rom Phary said she and her husband had racked up $550 of debt and interest since she lost her factory job in early March, several times her monthly salary. She said she and her family are living off rice donated by an NGO, the Center for Alliance of Labor and Human Rights, which is working in Cambodia. Phary said she persuaded her landlord to let her stay rent-free rather than forcing the family to return to relatives in the provinces.
“If we go back, it would be shameful. We don’t know what we would do,” she said.
‘IF SHE DIED, IT WOULD BE A RELIEF’
In Myanmar the garment industry was the fastest-growing sector of the economy, accounting for about 10% of the country’s exports and offering an escape route from extreme poverty for hundreds of thousands of people, many of them migrants from rural areas.
In Dagon Seikkan, an industrial zone on the outskirts of Yangon that is home for many migrant workers, local officials have been giving out rations of free rice to those who have been without jobs for some time. But Zarchi Lwin said she did not qualify as she was employed up until recently.
She and her parents left their small village in the central Magwe region six years ago after selling their house to pay for treatment for her brother, who eventually died from kidney disease. At first, they worked as cleaners and lived in a dormitory. Then Zarchi Lwin trained herself to sew clothes and secured a sought-after job at one of the nearby factories, earning $146 per month: enough for food, rent of a small wooden shack, and medical treatment. She saved up for a year to buy the bangles she pawned, she said.
Sobbing, she recounted how her mother told her she wants to die in order to lessen the financial burden on the family. “Sometimes I want to kill myself because of this situation,” she said. Her father, a guard at a furniture factory, has also lost his income.
Before the new coronavirus, garment workers in Yangon and the neighbouring province of Bago were sending more than 40 million euros ($43 million) in remittances to their hometowns and villages across the country each month, said Jacob Clere of SMART Textile and Garments, a European Union-funded project.
“Education for children who would otherwise not have it. Medicine for grandmothers who would otherwise go without. Healthy food. Better shelter,” said Clere, describing how that money helped rural communities. Many are now at risk of being forced into early marriage or taking on debt from loan sharks at very high rates, said Mike Slingsby, a regional urban poverty specialist.
HIGH-INTEREST DEBTS
In Bangladesh, the world’s second-largest garment maker behind China, 4.1 million workers or 2.5% of the population worked in garment factories, many of which are now closed. About 70% of Dhaka’s garment industry workers left the city to return to their villages, said Tuomo Poutiainen of the International Labour Organization, although he said some have since returned after some factories reopened to finish work on existing contracts.
Orders for June are down 45% from a year ago, according to Rubana Huq, president of the BGMEA.
Banesa Begum, a 21-year-old worker laid off from a Dhaka factory making clothes for Zara, among other brands, said she had nothing to send to her parents, subsistence farmers in the northern district of Rangpur. “I know they are starving,” she said.
Inditex, the owner of Zara, told Reuters it will pay for orders from garment makers, whether finished or in production, according to the original payment schedule.
Begum’s salary also paid for her two young brothers to go to school. “I don’t know how I’ll manage money to continue their study,” she said. “All my dreams are shattered.”

Tag study in the UK
Jen Smith March 13, 2019
Have you considered studying abroad? What if you could study abroad for your entire college experience rather than just one semester? Studying in the United Kingdom could be a great way for you to experience another culture for college without worrying about a language barrier.
The UK has some of the most prestigious universities in the world – Oxford, Cambridge, and Imperial College of London all rank among the top 10 – along with over 160 colleges and universities across the country. Just like in the U.S., you can find a university that fits your style.
There are several advantages to studying in the United Kingdom:
Earn a bachelor’s degree in 3 years. You can finish your bachelor’s degree in 3 years (in England, Ireland, and Wales – still 4yrs in Scotland) which means moving on to graduate school or a career sooner than at an American university. And a 3-year degree means less tuition cost!
Skip the general education. General education courses are not required in the UK system. You take only the classes you need for the subject you are studying. This means as a freshman you’ll be studying business, engineering, political science – or whatever you’ve chosen as a major.
Travel opportunities. The UK can be a great jumping off point to travel to many other places in Europe and beyond. You can fly from London to 10 other European capital cities in under 2 hours. What a great way to spend some of your school breaks – exploring other countries, cultures, and languages!
No additional cost. The United Kingdom offers student loans to U.S. citizens and permanent residents who attend approved UK schools. It’s possible for you to actually pay less to go to school in the UK than you may pay at an expensive school in a high-cost area of the U.S. International Student Loan has more information and a list of eligible colleges in the UK.
Additionally, there are many schools around the world – including in the UK and Canada – that will accept U.S. Federal Direct Loans. You can apply for Direct Loans using the FAFSA and use your U.S. loan money abroad. The Federal Student Aid website has some helpful information and a list of eligible schools.

Alternate Approach: Airline access and frequency
By David Carr
Having managed Canadian airports to the brink of bankruptcy in the 1970s and early 1980s, Transport Canada should have learned its lesson.
The devolution of Canadian airports that began with the Mulroney government in the mid-eighties marginalized Transport Canada’s centralized decision-making and reversed the flow of hundreds of millions of dollars going out to prop up Canada’s crumbling airport infrastructure, to where airports are now net contributors to the federal treasury.
Transport Canada resisted commercialization at every turn and at least one senior bureaucrat had to be removed for obstruction. Almost 25 years later, the ministry is trying to push through the back door what it can no longer get through the front. Ottawa remains the gatekeeper to airports for countries that do not have an open-skies agreement with Ottawa, which at this moment includes most of the planet. It is a position of authority that does not fit with the commercialized business model of
Canadian airports.
Airports compete for traffic. Just as it would be wrong for Transport Canada to make decisions on access to Halifax based on how it affects St. John’s, it is just as egregious to starve airports of revenue based on the commercial interests of one airline or its international partners.
This appears to be the case in Calgary, Toronto and Vancouver, where Transport Canada stubbornly refuses to grant Emirates Airlines daily service at a cost of $480 million in economic benefits according to Vancouver-based InterVISTAS Consulting, a transport and tourism specialist hired by the airline. The Greater Toronto Airports Authority estimates daily service by Emirates and Etihad would result in an additional $3.2 million in revenue and create more than 500 jobs. Transport Canada’s position routes between Canada and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are adequately served with six flights weekly split between Emirates and Adu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways. On the surface it would be right, but it is blinkered thinking. Air Canada does not have a presence in the growing markets where Emirates is strong. Lufthansa, Air Canada’s Star Alliance partner does, and there lies the rub. It is in Air Canada’s commercial interest to keep passengers in the Star Alliance pen. But should Transport Canada be playing the role of herder?
The issue is coming to a boil, with Premiers Ed Stelmach of Alberta and Gordon Campbell of British Columbia joining the fray. It is hard to see how the federal government, with its distinct western hue, can resist, except the UAE may have overplayed its hand by appearing to link the Canadian military’s future use of a Persian Gulf airbase to expanded commercial rights. The base gives the Canadian Forces critical logistical support for the Afghanistan mission and is up for renegotiation later this year.
Emirates is not a one off. Two years ago Ottawa prevented Singapore Airlines (SIA) from ramping up its Vancouver service to daily. SIA pulled out of Vancouver in April 2008 as part of a global retooling in response to plunging traffic volumes, evidence that a well run airline understands its market and can adjust its schedule accordingly.
Alliances such as Star and oneworld took a giant leap forward earlier this year after the U.S. Department of Transportation approved an American Airlines/British Airways tie up that will result in greater collaboration on pricing, schedules and revenue splitting across the Atlantic. Star partners Air Canada, Continental, Lufthansa and United have a similar alliance within an alliance, loosely called Atlantic Plus. This could be the next step toward industry consolidation and the evolution of the global airline.
It also gives alliance partners greater clout at hubs such as London/Heathrow and Frankfurt, where Atlantic Plus will have a near monopoly on flights to Canada. All the more reason for Transport Canada to step aside and let access and frequencies be decided by airlines and the airport authorities that want to let them in.
A system where airports gain control over their runways is not perfect. Airports do compete, but they are monopolistic beasts at root. A dispute resolution mechanism would have to be set up to prevent airport authorities from negotiating cozy side deals with airlines to keep competitors out.
There is no place for Transport Canada bureaucrats, to be picking winners and losers.

Publisher Pulls David Barton’s Revisionist History of Thomas Jefferson

The Story: After being criticized as factually inaccurate by historians and boycotted by evangelical ministers for glossing over racism, publisher Thomas Nelson decided to cease publication and distribution of David Barton’s controversial book, The Jefferson Lies: Exposing the Myths You’ve Always Believed about Thomas Jefferson.
The Background: Barton, president of Wallbuilders, an organization “dedicated to presenting America’s forgotten history and heroes,” recently published a book claiming that America’s third president was a “conventional Christian” and a a civil rights visionary.
As World magazine reported, several Christian historians who have examined Barton’s books and videos agree, as Jay W. Richards says, that the works are full of “embarrassing factual errors, suspiciously selective quotes, and highly misleading claims.” Additionally, a group of Cincinnati pastors and church leaders initiated a boycott against Thomas Nelson because, they claim, the book glosses over Jefferson’s racism and justifies his ownership of slaves.
“David Barton falsely claims that Thomas Jefferson was unable to free his slaves,” Damon Lynch, pastor of New Jerusalem Baptist Church, said in a press release. “In fact, Jefferson was allowed to free his slaves under Virginia law, but failed to do it. The Jefferson Lies glosses over Jefferson’s real record on slaveholding, and minimizes Jefferson’s racist views.”
According to World, Thomas Nelson evaluated the criticisms, and after doing their own review, determined that the historical details “were not adequately supported.”
“Because of these deficiencies,” Casey Francis Harrell, Thomas Nelson’s director of corporate communications told World, “we decided that it was in the best interest of our readers to stop the publication and distribution.”
Why It Matters: In 1950, British biologist Sir Peter Medawar said that French philosopher Teilhard de Chardin “can be excused of dishonesty only on the grounds that before deceiving others he has taken great pains to deceive himself.” A similar criticism could be made about Barton. While his books and videos have deceived thousands of Christians about the historical record, Barton appears to be sincerely convinced of the superiority of his own interpretations.
Yet despite his claims to being an “historical expert,” Barton tends to make sloppy, factual errors and extrapolations that are wholly unsupportable. For instance, he claims the U.S. Constitution is laced with biblical quotations. As he told James Robison on Trinity Broadcast Network:
You look at Article 3, Section 1, the treason clause, direct quote out of the Bible. You look at Article 2, the quote on the president has to be a native born? That is Deuteronomy 17:15, verbatim. I mean, it drives the secularists nuts because the Bible’s all over it! Now we as Christians don’t tend to recognize that. We think it’s a secular document; we’ve bought into their lies. It’s not. [emphasis in original]
Needless to say, nowhere in the Constitution is the Bible quoted verbatim. Consider Deuteronomy 17:15 (because the verse is only a clause, I’ll include the previous verse):
When you come to the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, ‘I will set a king over me like all the nations that are around me,’ you shall surely set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses; one from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother. [Deuteronomy 17:14-15]
Now lets look at part of Article 2 of the Constitution, the section Barton thinks is a direct biblical quote:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;
While there is a vague similarity, without additional evidence it is hard to imagine how anyone could make a connection between the two passages. Does Barton have a quotation from a “founding father” making that connection? No, because none exists. Indeed, the fact that no professional historian—-secular or Christian—-ever noticed this “verbatim” quotation before would lead most people to assume that such an interpretation should be viewed with skepticism. But not Barton. He appears to subscribe to a type of gnostic contrarianism, thinking that secret knowledge that goes against the conventional wisdom is not only correct but self-confirming.
Unfortunately, many evangelicals who would dismiss the use of such revisionist methods by someone like historian Howard Zinn or novelist Dan Brown unquestionably accept them when used by a fellow Christian like Barton. Many are unaware, of course, that Barton has long been considered an unreliable source. But too many are aware of the legitimate criticisms and dismiss them because they want to subscribe to Barton’s vision that America was founded as a “Christian nation.” Indeed, as Tom Gilson laments, “Inevitably some Christians will be angry with those who have shined a light on David Barton’s errors.”
However, Gilson recommends a better approach: “Far better they recognize that the best way to rally around him is to encourage [Barton] to stick close to the truth. Far better we all stick close to the truth.”

At this point, almost everyone's got an opinion about whether or not Kit Harington will return as his Jon Snow character in the next season of the show. Because he's probably dead. Or is he?
In a new interview with Belgian magazine Humo [via The Playlist], Harington appears to have let it slip that he's still on the show. "The important thing is that I now know exactly how long I am still under contract," he said.
The interview pressed Harington for more information, asking him how much longer he'd be on the show. "I can't talk about that," he said. "Let's just say that Game of Thrones will remain a part of my life for a while. I'll probably be in my thirties when it's over. One thing's for sure: the day I'm no longer on Thrones is the day I'll bury myself in movie projects."
There you have it: Kit Harington will maybe possibly probably still be on the next season of Game of Thrones.

Don Covay & The Goodtimers
Mercy, Mercy
It never hurts to have the Man Upstairs as your unbilled collaborator when you're desperate for a hit. Just ask Don Covay, who claims divine intervention helped write his smash Mercy, Mercy. "God sent that one to me," he says. "I was just onstage one night. He started playing, I said, 'Man, I like that!' I started singing. The song was written." A famous deejay's earthly advice helped too. "If it wasn't for the Magnificent Montague, I wouldn't have did 'Have Mercy,'" says Don. "He was the one that told me–-I sang one song to him. He said, 'Man, that ain't no soul. That ain't no soul. You're a soul singer, man. Do something with some soul, man!' And I started searching my heart. I said, 'I gotta come up with a hit!'"
Born in Orangeburg, South Carolina on March 24, 1938, little Don watched his older siblings' gospel group, The Cherry Keys. "My sister used to sing high, so I would try to sing 'em high like she did 'cause I wanted to sing in the group," he says. Bertha's high-flying vocals later inspired Covay's practice of double-tracking a falsetto on his records. Don's family moved to Washington, D.C., and Covay joined the doo-wopping Rainbows in his teens. They scored a 1955 East Coast hit with Mary Lee. Don went solo in '57, inspired by a flamboyant rock and roller. "I saw Little Richard, and that was the end," he says. "I came back and I put curls in my hair!" Billed as Pretty Boy and backed by Richard's Upsetters, Don's Bip Bop Bip for Atlantic was his solo debut.
There were encores for Big, Sue, and Big Top before Covay nicked the hit parade with Pony Time, his '61 dance workout for Arnold Records with his band, The Goodtimers. Chubby Checker covered it for Parkway and paced the pop charts. "I was very disappointed, 'cause Dick Clark promised to play my record, and the next thing I know he was playing Chubby Checker's." John Hammond brought Covay onto Columbia that same year, but his main talent seemed to be writing for the likes of Hank Ballard & The Midnighters, Connie Francis, Gladys Knight & The Pips, and Jerry Butler. He introduced another dance in '62 on Cameo with The Popeye Waddle, a song he didn't write, and scored a mild hit. "I didn't like it at all," he says.
Mercy, Mercy finally propelled Covay and his Goodtimers into the spotlight. Cut at Herb Abramson's A-1 Studio in Manhattan, it vaulted to #35 pop on the fledgling Atlantic-distributed Rosemart label, an enterprise of Montague's. The Rolling Stones covered it on their 'Out Of Our Heads' LP. Before long Don was on Atlantic proper, and in 1965 he headed down to Memphis to cut another classic, See Saw, at Stax. Covay went through a blues phase towards decade's end, though he reverted to steamy soul during the '70s. A 1992 stroke slowed him down but couldn't stop him from making a new CD as the millennium turned.

Volunteer Story: “I just love rescuing surplus food!”
Anna Gillon rescues prepared meals for the Gateway Center
“It seems like a small thing to be a driver, but to know that you’re rescuing surplus food that would have gone into the landfill is great.” That’s how Second Helpings Atlanta (SHA) Volunteer driver Anna Gillon describes her experience.
Several times a month, Anna pulls up to the loading dock at Sprouts in Smyrna and fills her SUV with hundreds of pounds of surplus rescued food. She delivers it to the Gateway Center in downtown Atlanta, a SHA Partner Agency. “Recently my car was filled with boxes of spinach, prepared meals, bread, produce, cheese and smoothies—it’s just unbelievable!”
As a member of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, which has historically been involved in hunger issues, Anna has long been concerned about those in need. When a friend, Volunteer driver Amy Durrell, told Anna about SHA she knew it was the perfect volunteer job. “I hate sitting in meetings and this is a tangible thing I can do,” she explains. Anna, a fit 57, loves the physical aspect of being a driver. She also appreciates helping those in need without having to ask for money. “I just really love doing this,” she adds.
With its army of Volunteer drivers, SHA serves as the link between a network of over 60 Food Donors and more than 30 Partner Agencies. SHA is currently looking for driving and non-driving Volunteers. The latter are needed for help with grant writing, marketing/PR, technology, event planning and administration to support our expanding operation.

Past Remains
A view of yesterday from today
Seaton Junction, Devon
Seaton Junction is not only the name of the abandoned station and defunct junction, but is also the name of the little community which lives around it. Apart from the station itself, there are two footbridges, an overgrown and abandoned platform on the opposite side of the rails, plus derelict factory and office buildings next door to the station. The station platform footbridge is inaccessible, as is the platform and the inside of the station itself, but the second footbridge can be crossed, which is great for looking down on the one existing line which still runs between Exeter and London and the abandoned platforms, etc. There is a public footpath sign on the station side, but once across the bridge and onto the other side, there's no sign of a footpath...just a plantation of young trees and a tangle of ivy, old man's beard vines and brambles. It does afford an overall view of the bridge however, which cannot be seen from the station side.
Originally called Colyton Junction, it was given the name Seaton Junction in 1869, a year after the opening of the Seaton Branch Line. As well as an important part of the holiday traffic for the seaside, the station accommodated Express Dairy Depot next door. A fleet of vans were used to collect the milk from local farms, which was then loaded on to six-wheel tank wagons and sent by rail up to London.
The depot was later used by Axminster Engineering & Mouldings Co, but is now left empty and derelict.
There are two concrete footbridges. The one above connects to the other side of the platform. The one below leads to the public footpath.
From the second bridge can be seen the station platform, the remains of the opposite platform and what used to be the goods yard.
More photos, along with these, can also be seen in the Seaton Junction album in the Gallery.

Songs From an American Movie Vol. Two
by Shannon Zimmerman December 15th, 2000 August 29th, 2020
Songs From an American Movie Vol. Two: Good Time for a Bad Attitude
Everclear frontman Art Alexakis once summed up his band’s sound as “happy melody with a New Wave whine,” copy pithy enough to suggest that he was finally earning his keep as an A&R man for Capitolor maybe just moonlighting as a music writer in case the rock-star thing didn’t work out. Not to worry. Alexakis is doing just swell in his day job, turning in two solid records in a single year, an early-Ramones-style pace that’s all the more impressive for Alexakis’ status as a card-carrying oldster. For this second set of Songs From an American Movie, the group lays off the “Mr. Big Stuff” and “Those Were the Days” samples of Vol. One: Learning How to Smile and laces the record instead with so much angst and punk-metal wattage that it might as well be called Use Your Confusion Vol. Two. “I will be sitting on top/When it all goes wrong again,” Alexakis chants on the album’s head-banging opener, “When It All Goes Wrong Again.” “We were fading like the bottom of a bad dream” is how he puts it on the equally crunchy “Slide.” But because Alexakis is old enough to know that poetic fatalism will only take you so far, he also throws in some Beatlesesque choruses and plenty of those ringing, Big Country-style guitars that he’s been milking for three albums nownot to mention personal endorsements of professional counseling and a well-reasoned explanation of the parental advisory sticker that appears on the LP’s cover. A savvy and cathartic tour de force, Good Time for a Bad Attitude is strong enough to make you hope the angst-ridden boys in Korn are paying attention. They could use a good male role model.

Wolverine sells some military assets
Wolverine Worldwide has sold its factory in Big Rapids, Michigan and some other assets related to its business with the U.S. Department of Defense to a smaller firm, the Original Footwear Company. Wolverine says the divestiture will improve the future viability of the Big Rapids facility because small businesses like Original Footwear have access to many contracts that are not available to large corporations under U.S. legislation.
The terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
Based in Morriston, Tennessee and born in 1969, Original Footwear is a small firm that has specialized since then in the manufacture of military boots products, and developed the Altama brand. It also makes boots for uniformed safety and service professionals under the SWAT brand name. The company has developed and patented a special technique for molding and attaching a rubber sole to a welted upper.
Under the new agreement, Wolverine has also transferred its outstanding contracts with the Department of Defense to Original, with effect from Sept. 29. On the other hand, Original will become a supplier of footwear to Wolverine for certain products currently made at the Big Rapids facility. Wolverine will also retain the Bates brand, continuing to operate the civilian and military exchange businesses under this brand name.
Wolverine had made significant investments in the Big Rapids plant, which is located less than 50 miles away from its head office in Rockford, Michigan. Last year, it spent about $1 million on a 16,000-square-foot expansion of the factory, adding also a new warehouse for incoming raw materials and creating 250 new jobs. The investment reportedly helped the group to honor two big new contracts for the U.S. Marines and the Afghan military.
The whole manufacturing facility, which had been originally built in 1964 to make Wolverine and Hush Puppies branded shoes, employs some 600 people and measures a total of 80,000 square meters. In addition to Bates shoes, it has been manufacturing some Hytest and Merrell styles for Wolverine. It was also going to make some Saucony footwear styles.
Typically, military contracts make for smaller profit margins than consumer-oriented businesses. In a bid to improve its profitability, Wolverine has been cleaning up its product range since its acquisition of Collective Brands in 2012, which turned it into the owner of 16 different footwear brands. The group stopped developing apparel under the Merrell brand. It then sold Robeez, a children's footwear brand last December, and licensed out its much bigger children's brand, Stride Rite. This past summer it divested Sebago, which was in some ways cannibalizing Sperry, a bigger brand of boat shoes in its portfolio.
Observers are wondering what will be the company's next move on the merger & acquisitions front. The takeover of an outdoor apparel business could help it to develop in expertise that it may be able to apply to Merrell and other brands to create some new and meaningful brand extensions.


Tiger Tales: A Detroit Tigers Blog
Detroit Stars All Star Team: 1919-1931
The Detroit Stars were a charter member of the Negro National League in 1920
(Photo Credit: MLBemuseum.com)
On December 16, Major League Baseball announced that it will now officially recognize seven professional Negro Leagues that operated between 1920-1948 as major leagues. Historians have long considered baseball played in these leagues as comparable in quality to the White major leagues. It is about time that they these leagues get their due recognition.
It is of course tragic that the Black leagues were not integrated with the White leagues and shameful it has taken so long for them to be classified as major leagues. Now that it has finally happened though, it is time for more baseball writers and analysts to delve into the records and stories and make the rich history of the Negro Leagues more widely known.
For those of us who love statistics, it is important to understand the challenges of analyzing Negro Leagues data. Hall of Fame historian Jay Jaffe discussed these issues in a recent FanGraphs article. I will summarize some of them here:
Negro Leagues statistics are only about three quarters (73%) complete according to Ben Lindbergh, writer at The Ringer. It varies by era depending on how frequently newspapers printed box scores and accounts. For example, the 1920s era is mostly complete while the 1940s era is only about half complete.
Seasons prior to 1920 will be excluded. For example, Hall of Fame outfielder Pete Hill played for the Chicago American Giants, one of the greatest Black teams ever, from 1911-1918 but those years will not be counted in official major league statistics. His statistics from 1920-1925 with the Detroit Stars and other teams will count.
Seasons after 1948 will be excluded. So, seasons for players, such as Hank Aaron and Ernie Banks, playing in the highly competitive Negro American League from 1949-1962 will not be recognized.
Players like Jackie Robinson who played in both the Negro Leagues between 1920-1948 and also the White major leagues will have their official total statistics altered to include their time in the Negro Leagues.
The Negro Leagues had shorter seasons - usually somewhere between 50 and 100 games - than the White majors. Teams may have played 100 or more additional games outside of league play often against inferior local teams, but these games will not be counted.
The official site for Negro Leagues statistics is Seamheads.com. It is a fun site and you should get to know it.
My first dive into the Seamheads database and other more anecdotal sites will involve putting together a Detroit Stars All Star team similar to the decades teams I have been assembling for the Tigers.
The Detroit Stars were established as an independent league team in 1919 and became a founding member of the Negro National League in 1920. The Stars played through 1931 when the Negro National League collapsed due to the great depression. A different Negro National League was established in 1933. The Detroit Stars played in the league the first year, but were not very successful and played under 40 games.
My All Star team is going to be based on 1919-1931. While 1919 is not officially recognized, they had a strong team in a competitive league that year.
In prior posts, I have assembled All Star Teams for the Detroit Tigers by decade:
The Stars All Star team will be constructed similarly. I will select nine position players, one for each position on the field plus one other hitter. This ninth player could be a multiple position player who didn't fit neatly into one position and/or the best hitter who didn't get selected as a position player. I refer to this final hitter as the utility player. I will also select five pitchers.
The All Star teams are listed in Tables 1 and 2 below. Player profiles follow.

C Bruce Petway
Bruce Petway was one of the top catchers in the early days of the Negro Leagues. He was a great receiver with a strong accurate arm and was one of the first catchers to consistently throw to second base without coming out of his squat. Playing in exhibition games in Cuba in 1910, he reportedly threw out Ty Cobb three times in three attempts. Petway was also very fast for a catcher and was a good bunter and base stealer (Negro League Baseball Museum, nlbemuseum.com).
Petway played for the Stars towards the end of his career starting at age 33 from 1919-1925. He also managed the team from 1922-1925. He batted just .251 with a 69 OPS+, but was known more for his managing and catching at that point in his career. His best offensive years for the Stars were 1921 and 1924. In 1921, he batted .301 with a 105 OPS+ in 249 plate appearances. He batted .326 with a 124 OPS+ in 110 plate appearances in 1924 at age 38.
1B Edgar Wesley
Edgar Wesley was a big left-handed slugger and strong defensive first baseman and was considered the best all around player at his position in the early years of the Negro National League. He was also known to be an aggressive base runner. Indianapolis catcher Larry Brown recalled Wesley barreling into home plate so hard that he cut his chest protector: "My mask went one direction, my glove went the other and the ball went up to the stands" (Richard Bak, Turkey Stearnes and the Detroit Stars).
In eight years with the Stars, Wesley hit .322 with a 144 OPS+. He led the league with 11 home runs in 1920, but his best was yet to come. He had a monster year in 1925 leading the league in batting (.404), slugging percentage (.715) and OPS+ (202). He also hit 17 home runs in 264 plate appearances which was second to his legendary teammate Turkey Stearnes (19).
2B Frank Warfield
Frank Warfield was an elite defender who had good speed, reactions and a strong arm. He also had a unique underhanded snap throw to first base which helped him in turning double plays. He had little power, but was a slap hitter who could draw walks and was an excellent base runner.
The five-foot-seven-inch 160-pound infielder was an intense competitor on and off the field. While he was a smart player, he was very sarcastic and caustic with teammates and opponents and he carried a knife. He was unpopular enough that he earned the nickname "weasel". He once got into a violent fight in Cuba with teammate Oliver Marcelle and bit off part of Marcelle's nose. All of this was the result of a dice game and $5 which Marcelle owed Warfield (Negro League Baseball Museum, nlbemuseum.com).
The Weasel batted mostly leadoff for the Stars between 1919-1922 hitting .278 with a .347 on base percentage and 96 OPS+. He was remarkably consistent with OPS+ of 98, 96, 99 and 93 over the four years. In 1921, he finished second in the league in walks (43) and seventh in runs scored (72).
SS Bill Riggins
There is some confusion about Riggins' real name. It appears that he was named Arvell at birth, but it's often spelled Orville (Agatetype.typepad.com). During his playing career, he went by the name Bill or "Mule". Before his playing career, he worked in the coal mines of Southern Illinois. Mule was a heavy drinker, but it didn't seem to affect his playing skills. He was an excellent fielder and baserunner and Bill James ranked him the fifth best shortstop in Negro League history (The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract)
Riggins played with the Stars from 1920-1926 batting .285 with a 94 OPS+ in 541 games. In 1926, the switch-hitting shortstop batted .300, finished second in the league in stolen bases (25) and fifth in runs scored (80). He also finished second in steals in 1925 with 26. In both cases, the league leader was Cool Papa Bell, the fastest runner in Negro League history.
3B Claude Johnson
Claude Cecil Johnson started out as a second baseman with the Cleveland Stars in 1921 and also managed the team in 1923. Hooks joined the Detroit Stars 1n 1927 and played mostly third base. His best season was in 1928 when he batted .333 with a 123 OPS+ in 75 games. He finished seventh in on base percentage that year (.421).
LF Wade Johnston
Like Claude Johnson above, William Wade Johnston started out with the Cleveland Stars in 1921. He joined the Detroit Stars in 1928 and became their starting left fielder for four years batting .310 with a .391 on base percentage. He was small at five-foot-seven-inches tall and 142 pounds, but he had good power, In 1929, he finished third in the league in homeruns (16) and sixth in OPS+ (164). He apparently had some patience as he led the league with 35 walks in just 200 plate appearances in 1931.
CF Turkey Stearnes
Norman Thomas Turkey Stearnes was the top player in Detroit Stars history and one of the best in Negro Leagues history. He was inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame in 2000.
Stearnes was quiet and unassuming off the field, but he was a dynamic player on the field. The legendary Satchell Paige once said that Stearnes "was one of the greatest hitters we ever had. He was as good as Josh (Gibson). He was as good as anybody who ever played" (BaseballHall.org).
If Turkey played today, he would be described as a five-tool player. Cool Papa Bell said "that man could hit the ball as far as anybody and he was one of our best all around players. He could field, he could hit, he could run. He had plenty of power. (BaseballHall.org).
The left-handed hitting outfielder batted .348 with a 173 OPS+ in 1,049 games lifetime. His 197 home runs was the third most behind Gibson (238) and Oscar Charleston (211) in recorded Negro League history.
In nine years with the Stars, Stearnes lead the league in homeruns four times and in OPS+ twice. He finished in the top ten in OPS+ every year and the top five seven times.
RF Pete Hill
Pete Hill played most of his career in the pre-Negro League era prior to 1920. His organized baseball years ran from 1899 to 1925 and he was one of the pioneers of Negro League Baseball. He was the captain of Rube Foster's Chicago American Giants from 1911-1918, the most dominant African American team of the time. Foster created the Detroit Stars in 1919 and named Hill the manager. Foster then organized the Negro National League in 1920 and the Stars were one of the original franchises.
Negro League statistics were not accurately kept or well published and statistics for Black baseball prior to 1920 were even worse, but Hill was considered an excellent fielder with a cannon arm and great glove. Offensively, he was a line drive hitter and a speedy base runner. Prominent baseball historian and author of Biographical Encyclopedia of Negro Baseball James Riley said that he would include Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker and Pete Hill in his pre-1920 era all star outfield.
Hill's days with the Detroit Stars did not come until he was 36 years of age in 1919. He was a player manager from 1919-1921 and he could still hit. He put up Ruthian numbers in 1919 batting .396 with 16 home runs and a 273 OPS+ in 165 plate appearances. He followed that up with OPS+ of 139 and 153 in 1920 and 1921 respectively. Hill was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006.
UT Ed Rile
Edward "Huck" Rile was a two-way player (first baseman and pitcher) who played for 11 teams over 14 seasons. At six-feet-six-inches and 230 pounds, Rile was one of the biggest players in Negro Leagues history. Huck excelled on both sides of the ball with a lifetime OPS+ of 122 and ERA+ of 110.
The switch hitting Rile had a fantastic season as both a batter and pitcher for Detroit in 1927. At the plate, he hit .389 with a .660 slugging average and finished second in the league with a 188 OPS+ in 297 plate appearances. From the mound, he was second in the league with a 157 ERA+ in 141 innings. He didn't pitch a lot in 1928, but continued to excel offensively batting .348 with a 147 OPS+.
SP Andy Cooper
Andrew Lewis Cooper was a left-handed pitcher who worked for 19 years mostly with the Stars and Kansas City Monarchs. Sturdily built at six-foot-two-inches and 220 pounds, Cooper was a durable and steady performer. He went into the baseball Hall of Fame in 2006 (BaseballHall.org).
According to Russ J. Cowans in 1941 in The Chicago Defender (one of the leading African American newspapers of the day) "Andy never possessed the fine assortment of curves held in the supple arms of other pitchers. However, he did have what so many pitchers lack - sterling control. Cooper could almost put the ball any place he wanted it to go. In addition, Cooper had a keen knowledge of batters. He knew the weakness of every batter in the league and would pitch to that weakness when he was on the mound."
Cooper's best season in Detroit was 1925 when he went 12-2 and was second in the league with a 2.88 ERA in 147 innings. He had five other seasons of 120 ERA+ or better with the stars.
SP Bill Holland
Elvis William Holland started 226 games in the official 1920-1948 window which is more than any other Negro Leagues pitcher. His 1,920 innings pitched total was second to Bill Foster (2,005) and his 1,085 strikeouts was third among Negro Leagues pitchers.
The Right-handed Holland had a wide array of pitches but was most known for his fastball which is probably the reason for one of his nicknames ("Speed"). He also had a competitive streak and fiery disposition resulting in his being dubbed "Devil".
Holland's best year in Detroit was 1922 when he was third in ERA+ (153) and second in strikeouts (115) in 191 innings. In 1921, he lead the circuit with 140 strikeouts in 218 innings pitched.
SP Bill Force
William "Buddie" Force was a left-handed pitcher for the Stars, Baltimore Black Sox and Brooklyn Royal Giants over a ten year career. In 1922 with Detroit he finished second in the league in strikeouts (120) and posted a 120 ERA+ in 176 innings pitched. He had a similar year in 1923 finishing third in strikeouts (92) and registering a 119 ERA+ in 195 innings.
Buddie pitched a no hitter versus the St. Louis Stars on June 27, 1922 (Detroit Free Press, June 28, 1922).
SP Yellow Horse Morris
John Harold Goodwin Morris had a relatively brief Negro Leagues career pitching six seasons from 1924-1930 with the Stars, Kansas City Monarchs and Chicago American Giants. After his career, he played briefly for one of the famous House of David barnstorming teams.
The House of David was a religious cult that banned alcohol, sex and shaving, but they loved baseball. They established teams which toured or barnstormed the country playing amateur, semi-pro and eventually professional teams. They often included well known major leaguers or ex-major leaguers such as Mordecai Brown and Pete (Grover Cleveland) Alexander. Players grew beards and long hair or had fake beards and hair. Much like the Harlem Globe Trotters, they entertained fans with trick plays such as hiding the ball in their beards.
The original House of David team was a White team which often played some of the best Negro Leagues teams. It was the first time in many towns especially those in rural areas where fans saw Blacks and Whites on the same field. Later, there were Black teams such as the Van Dyke colored House of David in Sioux City Iowa for which Morris played (Ryan Whirty, Des Moines Register, April 4, 2015).
Morris pitched three seasons in Detroit posting a 102 ERA+ in 417 innings. His best season was 1927 when he had a record of 14-8 with a 3.16 ERA (120 ERA+) in 185 innings.
SP Bill Gatewood
According to Bill Johnson at SABR.org, Bill Gatewood was known for three things:
He gave Cool Papa Bell his nickname.
He taught Satchell Paige his notorious hesitation pitch.
On June 6, 1921 against the Cincinnati Cuban Stars, he pitched the first no hitter in Negro National League history. He later pitched a second no hitter.
Morris pitched only two years in Detroit but they were dominant seasons. In 1920, he had a 15-5 win/loss record and 138 ERA+ in 159 innings. The following year in 1921, he posted a 134 ERA+ in 124 innings.

Chipman Funeral Home Ltd
MILLS, JOHN
John Joseph Mills passed away at the Veterans Health Unit, Fredericton on Tuesday, April 19th, 2016. John was born in Windsor, England on May 22nd, 1922, son of the late Albert (Amelia Parker) Mills. He emigrated to Canada with his parents at age five, to live in Saint John and later Salmon Creek NB.
John was predeceased by his wife Edith Sylvia (Hornbrook) Mills, on 6th January, 2016 and by his brother Anthony G. (Pauline) Mills some five years ago.
He is survived by his nephews and nieces, George Mills (Linda), Mary Cunningham (Michael), Anne Caldwell (David), Rob Mills (Shelley), Barbara Hale (Roger, deceased), Eileen Jordan [Dalton], and their families. He also leaves his very special friends, Nick and Elena Nechita.
John graduated from Chipman High School in 1939, and in 1940, at the age of eighteen, joined the RCAF. He became a wireless/ air gunner and was assigned to air protection of convoys on the North Atlantic. In the spring of 1942, his unit was sent to the Aleutians where he flew protection runs for allied shipping. In 1943 he was assigned to the RAF and sent to Burma, where his wing ferried supplies to the 14th Army. He ended the war as a Warrant Officer, First Class, and was awarded the Pacific Star.
In 1947, he married his high school sweetheart, Edith Hornbrook and lived in Chipman for the rest of his life. For the first years after the war he owned and drove a truck, then found work at the Grand Lake Power Plant in Newcastle Creek. Here he rose to the position of Shift Supervisor, and ended his career as a Training Instructor with the NBEPC, in 1978.
His retirement was long and happy involving travels with Edith to every Canadian Province and forty-nine American States. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion and Chipman United Church.
“The family would like to thank the many kind nurses and staff at the Veterans’ Health Unit for the excellent care John received over the last two and a half years.
Thank you also to Bonnie Hasson who made sure Edith was able to visit John at least three times a week, and was a good friend to them both.”
Interment for John and Edith will be at the Red Bank United Church Cemetery later in the spring. By his previous request, there will be no funeral service or visitation.
Donations in his memory can be made to the Fredericton SPCA (459-1555) or www.frederictonspca.ca.
Arrangements are in the compassionate care of Chipman Funeral Home and Crematorium (339-6612). Memories may be shared through www.chipmanfuneralhome.ca.

Corus fires AM640 late-night host, citing complaints of anti-Semitic content
By Bruce DeMaraEntertainment Reporter
Wed., Nov. 29, 2017timer1 min. read
Citing complaints of anti-Semitic content on a Nov. 11 episode, Corus Entertainment has fired veteran broadcaster Gary Bell, ending his weekly Saturday night radio show on AM640.
“I can confirm that Mr. Bell has been terminated from his employment with AM640 and Corus Entertainment,” said company spokesperson Rishma Govani.
“We sincerely apologize to our listeners and anyone else who was offended by Mr. Bell’s egregious comments. Corus Radio recognizes that our broadcast licences are a privilege. Therefore we are taking strong and immediate steps to ensure such an incident at is never repeated,” Govani added.
The show, entitled A View From Space, featured commentary from Bell, a.k.a. Spaceman, on conspiracy theories. The show ran from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. during the NHL season and from 8 p.m. to midnight in the off-season; a digital archive of episodes online stretches back to 2004.
Bell, who has appeared on radio in a variety of programs since the 1970s, could not be reached for comment. An online petition to restore his show had 85 signatures as of Wednesday morning.

How hate crime affects a whole community
Posted on January 22, 2018 by Maria Balboa Carbon — 3 Comments ↓
This article was originally published by the BBC on 12th January 2018.
Thousands of people are physically and sometimes brutally attacked each year in hate crimes. Such offences not only affect the victims, but also the thoughts and behaviour of others.
Within 24 hours of the massacre of 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, protests and vigils were joined by thousands in London, Sydney, Hong Kong, Bangkok and many other cities around the world. Although a particularly stark example, the response shows how the effects of hate crime are not limited to the immediate victims: they also affect others who learn of such events.
Prof Rupert Brown presenting at the Sussex Hate Crime Project launch.
Over the past five years, the Hate Crime Project at the University of Sussex has investigated these wider impacts of hate crime, looking at how simply knowing a victim, or even hearing about an incident, can have significant consequences. Many such attacks take place: in England and Wales, for example, the number of hate crimes recorded by police has increased sharply, rising 29%, to more than 80,000, in 2016-17. Race hate crimes were most common, but victims might also be targeted because of their sexual orientation, religion, disability, or because they are transgender.
The University of Sussex project used studies, experiments and interviews with a total of more than 1,000 Muslim and 2,000 LGBT people in the UK to investigate the indirect effects of such crimes. It found that four out of five participants knew someone who had been victimised in the past three years, with about half knowing someone who had been physically assaulted. As a result of hearing about hate crime in their community, the most common responses were anger, anxiety and feelings of vulnerability.
These emotional reactions had a significant impact on both LGBT and Muslim participants’ feelings of safety. Many said they took steps to increase their own security and avoided parts of their neighbourhood where they thought an attack was likely. Others joined community support groups. One Muslim woman described how she had responded to reports of Islamophobic hate crimes, including the murder of 82-year-old Mohammed Saleem, who was stabbed as he walked home from a mosque in Birmingham. “I do feel vulnerable… and it does affect my behaviour,” she said. “I become more fearful and avoid going to certain places that I feel might be a risk to my safety. And especially within certain times, I would avoid walking within those areas.”
One reason for these indirect effects is that people feel more empathy for victims who come from their own community. When they learned about a fellow Muslim, or LGBT person, being abused because of their identity, they put themselves in the victims’ shoes and felt something of what they must have felt during the attack. This made them feel angry on the victims’ behalf, but also threatened and fearful that they could also become a victim. These feelings can lead people to change their behaviour – for example, using social media to raise awareness of such attacks – with the effects lasting three months or longer in many cases.
Dr Jenny Paterson at the SHCP launch on 12th January 2018
The University of Sussex research demonstrated these effects through experiments in which participants read newspaper articles about someone being attacked. All the articles were identical, except that some described the attacks as anti-LGBT or Islamophobic hate crimes, while the others portrayed the attacks as random, with no mention of hate as the motivation. Those who read about hate crimes reported more empathy for the victim which, in turn, made them more likely to express feelings of anger or anxiety than those who read about the non-hate crimes. The strength of their responses suggest that hate crimes can have a greater impact on the victims and those in the wider community than otherwise comparable attacks which are not motivated by hate.
Among the Muslim and LGBT people who took part in the study, simply knowing someone who had been a victim of a hate crime was linked to them having less positive attitudes towards the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the government. They were also more likely to support laws designed to enhance the penalties for hate crime and different methods of policing – for example, special procedures for dealing with victims and more police in the community. Most had not had any contact with the police about a hate crime, but members of the Muslim group who had been in touch with them were less likely to believe that they would respond effectively than those who had not had contact. During one interview, a Muslim man said: “For me it seems that a lot of the police force come from a certain background, and sometimes that’s why I think they won’t take it [Islamophobic hate crime] seriously.”
Dr Mark Walters from the School of Law presenting at the SHCP launch
Attitudes towards different forms of justice used to deal with those responsible for hate crime were also investigated. More than six out of 10 Muslim and LGBT people who took part in the study said that instead of an enhanced prison sentence, they preferred restorative justice – in which victims meet or communicate with the perpetrators in order to explain the impact of their crime and agree a form of reparation. This, they believed, was more likely to be an effective way to repair the harm caused by hate and prejudice. One LGBT person said: “I’m not sure that just sending somebody to prison… is going to change somebody’s attitude… Whereas [restorative justice is] a much better route to be able to understand the impact that their behaviour has had on somebody.”
The question for police and politicians now is what they can do to reduce the impact of hate crimes. One step might be to investigate measures – like restorative justice – that aim to address the harm to both the victim and community. Another might be to ensure greater use of community impact statements in criminal trials. With tens of thousands of people affected each year, there are many in the Muslim and LGBT communities, and other parts of society, who will be keen to know the answer.
This analysis piece was commissioned by the BBC and edited by Duncan Walker.
Prof Rupert Brown, Prof Mark Walters and Dr Jenny Paterson are at the University of Sussex and are members of the Sussex Hate Crime Project, which was funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
The project recruited more than 2,000 LGBT and 1,000 Muslim people from a wide number of sources, including specific community groups and charities -for example, Stonewall, GALOP, the Muslim Council of Britain and LGBT and Muslim university groups.

Lisa Rea, President says:
Restorative Justice International (RJI) is very interested in the subject of hate crime and restorative justice. We are in strong support of this approach for victims of hate crimes. We are currently planning a series of podcasts on this subject. Let us know if someone with this project might be interested in being a guest on such a podcast. Glad to see your important work launched.
If RJI can work with you in any way let us know.
Stonebridge says:
Hate crime targets anyone that might be different to an individual’s or a group’s expectations of society. This is a broad statement, but because of it, it affects communities at a much larger scale. It raises questions like: “I’m not a part of this group, should I be scared as I walk down the street? Should I wear something else? Should I not live in this part of town?”.
In turn, these concerns affect the actions of those “different” individuals and the very fabric of the community they would be a part of, or not. As a result, today entire city areas, for example, are secluded, poor, with a high level of crime, and completely inaccessible to those perceived as different.
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed surfing around your blog posts. After all I抣l be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again very soon!


Wage Differential Award Must Be Considered
by Peter D. Corti | Jul 27, 2015 | Case Law News, Illinois Workers' Comp Info
When an injured employee’s work-related accident results in a permanent disability, the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act allows various options in terms of the benefits available. Depending on the severity of the injury and the consequences thereof, both physical and financial, the worker could be compensated based on loss of the person as a whole, wage loss, or even permanent and total disability. The recent case of Lenhart v. Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission, 2015 IL (3d) 130743WC, offers an interesting discussion of the alternative forms of permanent disability.
In Lenhart, there was no dispute that the employee had sustained a work injury and that as a result, he could no longer physically perform his pre-injury job as a dockworker/truck driver; he had undergone multiple back surgeries and the employer’s hired expert concluded that he was permanently restricted to lifting no more than 25 pounds. The main dispute between the parties involved the extent of the worker’s permanent disability: the employee argued that he was permanently and totally disabled; the employer argued that the injured worker had exaggerated his physical disability as well as manipulated and misled his treating physicians and therefore was not entitled to permanent total disability. In support of its position, the employer presented extensive video surveillance of the employee engaged in numerous activities which were beyond his proclaimed physical limitations.
The matter was brought before the arbitrator, who found that the injured worker had met his burden of proving that he was entitled to permanent total disability benefits under the odd-lot theory. The employer filed a review with the Commission, requesting that they reverse the arbitrator’s permanent total award and instead find the injured worker entitled to wage differential benefits. Wage differential benefits are awarded when an injured worker is partially incapacitated from pursuing her or his usual and customary line of employment and has an impairment in the wages she or he earns or is able to earn. Upon review of the evidence, the Commission unanimously agreed that the employee failed to prove entitlement to permanent total disability benefits; instead of awarding a wage differential, however, the Commission awarded a 75% loss of the person as a whole.
The injured worker appealed the Commission’s decision to the circuit court and then the appellate court. While the Third District Appellate Court determined there was more than ample support for the Commission’s adverse credibility determinations with regard to the employee and subsequent finding that he had failed to establish permanent total disability, the court took issue with the Commission’s refusal to consider a wage differential award. Emphasizing the long-standing preference for wage differential awards, as they are easier to calculate than attempting to assign a percentage loss, the Lenhart court found that the Commission erred in not contemplating whether the injured employee had proven entitlement to a wage differential:
In the present case, the employer stipulated that the claimant could no longer meet the physical demands of his usual and customary line of employment as a dockworker/truck driver. Also, the employer’s medical expert, Dr. Espinosa, opined that the claimant could return to work with a 25-pound lifting restriction at the light end of the light-medium demand level, and the Commission found Dr. Espinosa’s opinion to be credible. Therefore, the record conclusively establishes the first requirement for a wage differential award.
With respect to the second requirement, reduced earning capacity, the employer’s vocational rehabilitation experts, Steffan and Bigelow, opined that there was a readily available and stable labor market in which the claimant could obtain positions earning between $10 and $15 per hour.
The evidence in the record, therefore, supports a finding that the claimant was entitled to a wage differential award, i.e., that he suffered a partial incapacity which prevents him from pursuing his usual and customary line of employment and that he has an impairment in earnings. The Commission, however, did not consider a wage differential award under section 8(d)(1), but instead awarded PPD benefits under section 8(d)(2). Lenhart, 2015 IL App (3d) 130743WC, ¶46-48.
The court vacated the Commission’s permanency determination and remanded it back for consideration of whether the employee was entitled to a wage differential; if the Commission finds that the injured worker is entitled to wage differential benefits, those should be awarded; if the Commission should find that the employee is not so entitled, the 75% loss of the person as a whole is to be reinstated.
