it’s been a hot minute since i’ve gone on a deep dive about station 19 (partially my faul because i’m busy losing my marbles on twitter, what can i say) anyways, i wanted to go in depth about the episodes because it’s nice to do what i started doing and two it allows me to rewatch the episode and catch details that i normally wouldn’t when i’m watching it live. after all that being said, buckle up folks it’s 6x07 time! as usual spoilers ahead:

picking up right where we left off, the incident at meredith’s which of course was the scene where 19 was called at and of course what mortified all of us for more than 100 days, maya’s fall and her injuries once someone found her + also interesting to notice that beckett allowed andy to handle the scene, does that mean he was unable to call the shots or he’s playing safe here? + jack finding maya made sense since he was there but i’m curious, he noticed her turnouts on the floor and didn’t wonder where she was? like if she was on desk duty her turnouts wouldn’t be there in the first place idk

something that lots of people pointed out is that jack just carried maya without any support on her neck and back and i agree with them, he didn’t know the extent of her injuries or how long she was down, i’m wondering why he didn’t call 911 first and just waited for them to help but i guess that was made for the drama (?) + i’m wondering how the whole mayor storyline will unfold, like is montgomery gonna quit being a firefighter or what? unless dixon gets arrested or something for a scandal i don’t know where this is headed

i just wished ross character wasn’t involved romantically with sullivan that would be great + oh travis you messed up big time + this story was wild af, to think that these things happen all the time and they turn way worse than this is disgusting + the way maya pushed herself to that limit hurts my soul, to know that she will get the help she needs down the road gives me a little comfort but right now it hurts + i have to say the cuffs threw me off so badly😂

“where’s carina?” oh no poor maya this is just the beginning of a rollercoaster + “you look guilty” lmao busted + this is so random for sure + poor kid :( + the second carina saw jack she knew something was wrong, the tremble in her voice gave it away + i have to say danielle’s performance is so incredible, you can notice how broken maya looks by just staring at her eyes + and of course she doesn’t realize how bad she is… trauma and abuse is a hell of a thing

hughes, herrera and ross were the mvp of this episode totally + i was so tense the entire scene geez + this scene is so important when jack tells carina about maya, at first i was like ugh not again jack being in the middle of maya and carina but rewatching it i noticed how this seems to be the moment where carina chooses to help maya whether she wants it or not.

these women are incredible and i wished they would fight sexism and the abuse within the force because i know they can

not adrdessing the ladies too much because the two storylines happening are literally the only thing i was able to think for this entire episode

the way maya doesn’t even begin to see how hurt she is and how badly she needs to allow others to help hurts me, the worst part is that so many people can relate to this, growing up under abusive parenting can result into this and even worse things, i just wanna hug maya so badly

i also want to hug carina so badly, i don’t think she knows the extent of maya’s trauma maybe just bits and pieces but not the whole story which makes me wonder if the show will ever let them figure this out and have a conversation about it + i hate how they all worried after maya literally was vanishing in front of them like ugh + i’m surprised how no one has actually caught beckett day drinking, this man has been slipping since he got to station 19 + carina leaving really broke me :(

that was such an emotional episode like wow i ended up having to lay down for a minute or two because my head was spinning. i watched this live, i read lots of opinions about maya and carina and i just have to say there’s no good or bad in this story, maya has endured abuse her entire life and as result she pushes herself to the point of hurting, physically and mentally of course; carina also has endured abuse but the way she was affected by this is clearly different from maya’s, she isn’t a bad person by taking some space and time to understand the next steps, she has to take care of herself and in order to do that she needed maya to understand she needs help too. it’s so easy to point fingers and say “oh maya is horrible for saying those things” or “carina is awful because she left”. maya is hurt and obviously what she said wasn’t nice by any means but i remember reading somewhere that hurt people hurts people, and again carina has spend basically her entire life taking care of others, she needs the space to heal and allow maya to heal too.

station 19 came back stronger than ever and after this episode and 6x08 (which i watched live but i’m gonna rewatch because the streaming was wacky) it makes me feel that we’re getting something far better than we got in season 5 and for that i’m grateful. it may or may not be the writer’s intention but they created the most layered and best character in the entire show and her name is maya bishop. catch ya in the next one!

Re: the bucktommy endgame tags. I agree it could potentially be a Travis/Emmett type break up and get back together thing. Though hopefully not as toxic as they have been lol

Yeah! Tbh I don't watch nearly enough Station 19 to be able to comment much on the nuances of Travis and Emmett's relationship, but yeah, if BuckTommy were endgame I think it would probably happen a little like that. Idk, the vibe I get from Tim et. al is that he was bored of what was going on with Buck's romantic life and wanted to inject new life into it through this storyline. Buck being attracted to men opens up a brand new avenue for Tim to be creative, and I don't think he'd want to cut off all those future possibilities for Buck by sticking them together in Buck's only relationship for the rest of the series so fast.

But I do think in a world where Buck and Tommy's first go-around ended amicably (which is sort of what I'd foresee for them anyway) and the show didn't intend to go forward with making Eddie the endgame, Tommy could definitely come back around later to become the endgame relationship for a lot of the reasons you mentioned in your tags. I don't think it would be very narratively satisfying for Buck to end up with someone who's not a first responder and doesn't have firsthand experience with that life, and I think Tommy would be a really good option that would make Buck's endgame LI fit seamlessly into the world around them through his connections with the other mains instead of just something on the side to tide Buck over in his own singular storylines. Very interested to see where they go from here with them, and I do hope we at least get the rest of this season with BuckTommy, if not more!

Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) - Watched on August 5, 2023

It spirals to its inevitable conclusion. We revisit a moment, a scene. A little more plays out, we step back or step forward. We live transfixed in a moment. Sometimes a scene mirrors another, it's all the same but with different details. There is no escaping fate, we can only be sucked closer and closer to our inevitable conclusion.

Stop Making Sense (1984) - Watched on October 5, 2023

I genuinely don’t think this needs any explanation or justification at all. I could watch it over and over and over and over and over.

Possession (1981) - Watched on October 17, 2023

It took me three sittings to get through this film and I wasn’t sure I liked it immediately after I finished it. And then it just simmered in my mind for days and weeks after until it finally clicked into place. I love the way Sam Neill moves in this. Everyone comments on the haunting way Isabelle Adjani looks directly into the camera, and yea. Yeah. Ok. Yeah. Yeah.

The Devils (1971) - Watched on June 26, 2023

I thought going into it with the full knowledge of Urbain Grandier would defang it, and perhaps this did soften the blow a bit, but it's audacious, frenzied, sensual. You get tangled up in its themes, its sensations, its torture.

Dog Day Afternoon (1975) - Watched on January 13, 2023

This set off a brief and ferocious obsession with Al Pacino. I have a strained relationship with films based on true crimes, but this slides past my qualms, perhaps just on the strength of the fact John Wojtowicz himself did write a review of it.

Bound (1996) - Watched on April 5 and August 19, 2023

The way Corky and Violet can come together with genuine trust so quickly. The way Ceaser can misunderstand Violet so fundamentally. The literal betrayal in realising who someone is.

Häxan (1922) - Watched on October 27, 2023

The 1922 equivalent of a Youtube video essay where a guy is like, "Guys, I just learned a bunch of fucked up facts about witches and witch trials. I think maybe we just execute women for being poor and mentally ill. Also aren't mental institutions a bit fucked up?" but like, a bit hornier than you would expect for the subject.

Cruising (1980) - Watched on January 17, 2023

It’s all about looking and being noticed. The camera is looking. Al Pacino is looking. The men are looking. And the ambiguity of the gaze and the plot.

Pontypool (2008) - Watched on October 4, 2023

It's a film about words. It's a film about broadcasting from a radio station and seeing nothing. Our imagination fills in the visual gaps. It's so much more horrifying to be piecing everything together from the safety of a recording booth.

The Lair of the White Worm (1988) - Watched on February 1, 2023

Hugh Grant—looking like a lesbian—who is a freaky little rich boy who believes in cryptids, Peter Capaldi—looking like a lesbian—sucking snake venom from a neck bite, an incredibly sexy snake woman with a house full of snake stuff, a giant snake puppet, surreal dream sequences, the coolest game of snakes and ladders ever made, snake dicks, weaponised bagpipe music, homoeroticism, and giant strap-ons.

Ravenous (1999) - Watched on October 19, 2023

This film is so offbeat and strange. It has the strange feel of a comedy, while being a really understandably grim depiction of cannibalism as manifestation of greed, expansionism, and colonization. I kept having these moments of shock that this was a studio movie, that studios were willing to make this film that so thoroughly deconstructs the American mythology.

Penda's Fen (1974) - Watched on July 6, 2023

The first movie in a long time that has made me feel as though I need to pick it apart like an essay, to rewatch multiple times and take notes and repeat sentences until I’ve done a thorough analysis. I've never had a film hit me in quite this way before.

#film #recs #long post #basically just making my letterboxd list here #i normally don't do a movie best of list for the year but i don't have ten non movies #station eleven and star trek are the only nonfilm things i would list i think

Fullmetal Alchemist Chapter 19

When reading FMA as a whole, you can tell how Arakawa had almost everything planned from the start. This arc is one of maybe two things I'd argue was likely not in Arakawa's original plan. Most of the characters we meet in Rush Valley don't appear later in the series which is really noticeable when pretty much everyone else in the series makes reappearances.

Despite my assumptions, Arakawa was able to use this arc to further develop Winry as a person, give her a personal drive, and make her more integral to Ed and Al's journey.

Since her first appearance in the manga, she's complained about Ed and Al never telling her anything or letting her in on their woes and she's finally breaking through to them. This in turn has inspired her to become a better engineer to make their journey easier.

On the Elric side of things, the boys are humbled once again over being unable to do something themselves and having to let others take charge. They couldn't make a bridge to town and they couldn't do anything to help with Satera giving birth. All they could do is leave things to others and pray it goes well. Alchemy can't do everything.

And of course Ed would find the whole process of development and birth to be amazing. He tried to create a life and look what happened to him.

Ed and Winry's discussion about his watch shows that once again, Ed does not like being on this journey and has to force himself to keep going. He burned down his house so he'd have nowhere to return to, and now we see he keeps a reminder etched onto something he has to keep on him at all times. Ed does not allow himself to forget what he's done and why he's on this journey.

Onto some more lighthearted things:

I want to know more about Pinako. WHAT?!?

I think the doctor who was brought by Dominic is the same doctor from Paninya's flashback.

Paninya does not get tired at any point during the trip back to Rush Valley and the train station. Makes sense with her legs being mechanical.

We see a picture of Ed, Al, Winry, and Den when they're all little. Den's a little puppy so he's probably 7 or 8 years old.

And now we're at Dublith. We meet a man named Mason. We learn their teacher is named Izumi and she lives at a butchery.

Wait? Do they sell mammoth meat or are they having a mammoth sale?

Over the past decade, Beijing has invested heavily in trying to upgrade its major state media outlets such as China Global Television Network (CGTN), Xinhua News Agency, and China Radio International (CRI), and to make them seem more professional. It has tried to normalize them to audiences as little different from the BBC, CNN, or Al Jazeera—most likely Beijing’s preferred model—a station based in an authoritarian state but producing respected work.

For years in the 2010s, China hired respected foreign reporters to staff bureaus of outlets such as CGTN in the United States, Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, and other places, and initially gave them a bit of room to cover interesting stories—as long as those did not directly affect China. The global journalism market is terrible: Between 2001 and 2016, newspaper publishing in the United States lost more than half the jobs in the industry, a higher rate of loss than in coal mining, not exactly an industry of the future. China’s outlets found many willing and credentialed reporters to join. Today, the Chinese government’s funding for state media dwarfs that of any other country’s state media funding, including that of the United States. In 2018, CGTN reportedly spent around $500 million to promote the network in Australia alone; it has also engaged in extensive promotion in Europe and North America.

In an effort to expand its influence within the domestic politics and societies of other countries, China in the past decade dramatically expanded other tools of influence as well, which I chronicle in my new book, Beijing’s Global Media Offensive: China’s Uneven Campaign to Influence Asia and the World. These have included the use of disinformation online, payments to politicians to spout pro-China ideas, control of Chinese student associations in many countries, the funding of programs at universities, and other tactics.

But state media has been central to China’s efforts to influence other countries, control information about and protect the party, and gain what Chinese leaders and officials have called “discourse power” to amplify China’s narratives about its policies, its party, its leader, and its role in the world. Beijing’s cause is helped by a global environment in which resources for quality media are decreasing, democratic and authoritarian leaders alike are demonizing media, and publics’ trust in journalism is falling. Such a set of circumstances would seemingly make it easier for Chinese outlets to win readers, listeners, and viewers.

Yet China’s state media (excluding local-language Chinese media within specific countries), other than Xinhua, has hardly been a triumph for President Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), even with money gushing in.

Indeed, Xi’s bold goal to wield state media power globally, a priority noted in CCP documents, has not worked to great effect—and that goal is fading even faster as the world sees the failure of Xi’s China model, which was heavily advertised in state media abroad. China’s global influence efforts, fueled in part by state media, have not prevented publics in many countries from souring on Beijing’s increasingly assertive diplomacy; being angry at the initial cover-up of COVID-19; fuming at how China increasingly uses economic coercion against other states, even tiny ones like Lithuania; or seeing the flaws in China’s own politics. In public opinion studies released in 2020, 2021, and 2022, such as those conducted by Pew, opinions of China in states from Sweden to South Korea to Australia turned sharply negative. Negative views of China reached historic highs in many states.

What evidence shows how China has failed to use state media effectively? China’s biggest state media outlets, other than Xinhua, have not sold many programs abroad or gained noticeable audience shares in most countries. China’s training programs for journalists, while rapidly expanding (at least before zero-COVID), have not created a shift in how foreign reporters cover China.

Take one example, the appeal of Chinese TV show exports globally. South Korea, a far smaller country, regularly outpaces the value of Chinese TV show exports. South Korea also has exported increasingly successful films and scripted shows—as well, of course, as one of the most popular bands in the world.

Similarly, while China ranked second in the Lowy Institute’s annual Asia Power Index, Beijing’s lofty numbers come mostly from its high rankings in economic relationships, diplomatic influence, and future power. The Asia Power Index’s measures of China’s influence over the region’s information landscape, including the influence from state media, show far less impressive results. The Lowy study uses influence maps based on internet search trends to assess Asians’ interest in regional media outlets. These maps have shown that CGTN is only the 10th-most popular broadcaster in the Asia-Pacific, and its reach is a fraction of outlets such as CNN. The maps show that CGTN’s “reach is inconsequential,” as noted by the coordinator of the influence maps. Other Chinese outlets save Xinhua also fare badly on these influence maps.

Using the Freedom of Information Act, I obtained more than 20 studies, produced by Gallup as a contractor for the U.S. government, of viewing habits in countries in Africa, Southeast Asia, and South and Central Asia, among other regions. They generally show that even though Chinese state media are widely available in many countries, they usually attract minuscule viewership or listening numbers. In Laos, for instance, a country on China’s border with a growing population of Chinese speakers, one Gallup study of viewership in Laos found only 1.2 percent of the country’s population regularly watched Chinese broadcasting, a much lower figure than those who watched Voice of America or Radio Free Asia or Thai channels.

Chinese media outlets’ audience shares and perceived credibility lag behind local news sources, the BBC, and other Western broadcasters even in regions like Africa, where public opinion toward China is not as negative. In Ivory Coast, for instance, CRI has expanded its programming, but the Gallup study I obtained shows that CRI was listened to by less than 1 percent of Ivorians weekly, among the worst figures of any radio station’s reach in the country. (The BBC was listened to by 13.7 percent of Ivorians.) In Nigeria, a bigger target for Chinese state media, both CGTN and CRI performed abysmally in a similar Gallup study. In Nigeria, CGTN had 3.7 percent viewership, a quarter the audience of the BBC.

Even in Kenya, the hub of CGTN operations in East Africa, Chinese outlets have fared poorly. Studies suggest most Kenyans who consume news do not even utilize Chinese state media.

These figures are consistent with the still-low audience shares of CGTN, CRI, and state media outlets, save Xinhua, in many other regions of the world. In Asia, Chinese broadcast and radio state media outlets have not reached a large audience. A Gallup study of the weekly reach of television stations in Vietnam found that CGTN was only watched by 0.7 percent of Vietnamese adults, far less than the BBC, CNN, France’s TV5 Monde Asie, and South Korea’s Arirang TV. Two-thirds of Vietnamese who watched the BBC said they trusted that outlet a great deal, but only about 7 percent who watched CGTN said the same.

In Western democracies, too, in Europe and North America, CGTN has largely fizzled. In the United Kingdom, which has a sizable audience of people who are fluent in Chinese, a study found that CGTN was being watched by a minimal number of Britons—even before the British government kicked CGTN off the air in 2021 because it did not have autonomy from the Chinese state. Similarly, though CGTN launched a European subsidiary in 2019 via its London hub, it has made few inroads into the continental European market. And throughout Latin America, including in several large democracies, CGTN’s Spanish-language channel has significantly expanded the number of households in which it is available over the past decade but has not proved popular. A comprehensive study of CGTN-Español, CGTN’s Spanish-language channel, by Peilei Ye and Luis A. Albornoz, suggests that the Chinese government usually releases information only about the size of the audience CGTN potentially reaches—the number of households it is available in—and not the actual audience, most likely because the actual audience size is embarrassingly low.

Why has China’s state media—other than Xinhua, which I’ll come to later—failed so badly? It simply produces, in the Xi era, content that is too boring, staid, and timid. In an era more restricted than the 1990s, one in which China has today become much more authoritarian, state media reporters now instinctively tailor their stories to ensure they do not anger anyone at headquarters back in Beijing, which makes for weak and bland reporting.

CGTN reporters note that while they had more freedoms six or seven years ago, now the biggest focus in their minds is whether the stories will prove acceptable to the top leadership in Beijing rather than news consumers in foreign countries. This is “domestic signaling,” as the Guardian called it in an exposé of China’s soft- and sharp-power efforts—“telegraphing messages [via reporting in state media] that demonstrated loyalty to the party line in order to curry favor with senior officials.”

This does not make for exciting journalism. Further, a considerable part of the state media’s efforts to reach foreign audiences was designed to advertise China as a developmental success story—Xi was the first recent Chinese leader to openly embrace a Chinese model of development. But the past three years of China’s disastrous zero-COVID strategy, protests, supply chain disruptions, and serious economic slowdowns—all visible to the world, and even more so now that protests are raging in China—have undermined that main prong of the state media’s foreign messaging.

Chinese state outlets are going to find it harder to gain audiences as many leading democracies put roadblocks in their way. These have included the United Kingdom pulling CGTN’s license and the United States forcing state media to register as agents of foreign influence, which drives away U.S. national and Chinese national reporters who do not want to be tagged as influence agents. Some democracies have created commissions or legislation designed to closely examine foreign investment and influence inside their borders, such as Australia and Singapore. European states, too, are assessing ways to better monitor foreign investment and influence in media and information sectors.

Xinhua, alone among China’s biggest state media outlets, has expanded significantly while also boosting its global audience and gaining some credibility. Beijing has placed a high premium on modernizing Xinhua and getting foreign news outlets to use Xinhua stories by signing content-sharing deals, in the process legitimizing Xinhua to some editors and readers. Xinhua has inked many such deals, including for stories in many languages other than Chinese, and because it covers so many topics unrelated to China, its reporters sometimes have more room from Beijing to operate. It is likely that, in the next decade, with the pandemic forcing more outlets to cut staff, and with media outlets around the globe continuing to suffer financially, the appeal of signing deals with Xinhua, a cheap or free newswire, will only increase. Indeed, Xinhua could become China’s most powerful information weapon.

As of this writing, Xinhua has not yet forged enough connections to consistently write the first draft of global news stories, as wires do. Since some major outlets such as the BBC and the New York Times do not regularly use Xinhua stories, distrusting them, Xinhua still does not circulate as widely among elite publications as stories from Reuters or The Associated Press or Bloomberg. But that may be changing rapidly. In recent years, Xinhua has inked cooperation agreements with major global and regional newswires, including Agence France-Presse; news services in Australia; Germany’s Deutsche Presse-Agentur; Poland’s Polish News Agency; Class Editori in Italy; Le Soir in Belgium; Athens News Agency in Greece; RAI, Italy’s public broadcaster; and ANSA, Italy’s leading wire service.

And on many occasions, in places where it has a massive manpower advantage, like Southeast Asia and, of course, China itself, Xinhua is beating competitors to stories or is covering stories competitors do not have the resources to cover. As Xinhua grows (and offers its service free to many outlets in developing countries), and as other newswires struggle financially, the Chinese newswire will get to more stories first—and earn editors’ and publishers’ trust. It is rapidly opening bureaus. By early 2021, Xinhua had a reported 181 bureaus globally. This would give Xinhua a reach close to that of The Associated Press, which has around 250 bureaus worldwide, or the BBC, which is a giant in Africa, Asia, and other regions. Meanwhile, the Chinese newswire has a massive advantage over most of its competitors in that it does not have to make a profit.

Xinhua also is attempting to boost its credibility in other ways in Southeast Asia and other areas physically close to China or where populations have relatively positive images of China. In Southeast Asia and Africa, where Xinhua has poured resources into expansion, the Chinese state newswire can cover stories that may not get mentioned by other media organizations such as Reuters, The Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, or large international newspapers with foreign staffs. One former U.S. official analyzing China’s expanding state media called this a “hyperlocal approach,” a strategy focused on offering detailed stories in regions that some global outlets ignore.

Eventually, if governments and news organizations do not put roadblocks in its place, Xinhua copy, via content-sharing deals, will appear in more and more news outlets, shaping public and elite opinion in a growing number of countries, as it already does in places such as Thailand. A range of evidence shows Xinhua’s growth in size and influence. There, Xinhua has signed content-sharing deals with many top Thai publications, including those of the Matichon Group, the most-respected Thai-language news organization. These deals have allowed China to shape news narratives in Thailand, where many more Thai outlets now run Xinhua copy. Overall, not only is China portrayed more positively in the Thai media than in the past, according to many Thai journalists, but serious critiques of China are vanishing from many Thai outlets.

A range of evidence shows Xinhua’s growth in size and influence. The Lowy Institute’s maps of digital influence in Asia show Xinhua is making inroads across the region. Indeed, the maps show that Xinhua has become the second-most-influential news agency regionally, behind only The Associated Press, and that Xinhua is making significant gains in influence in the media environment of several Northeast Asian and Southeast Asian states. And unlike with, say, a television station that a viewer has to actively turn on, and probably knows the channel, most print or online readers do not check the bylines of news articles—making it easier for Xinhua copy to slip through to readers.

Notably, media outlets have been signing deals to carry Xinhua even in countries where the U.S. government—and private nonprofits hailing from democratic states—have invested heavily in promoting the creation of a vibrant local media. In Afghanistan, for instance, where donors including the United States have plowed money into the local media, an International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) report shows that Xinhua has inked contracts with 25 to 30 Afghan media outlets. These deals include ones with the biggest television stations and websites in the country.

The IFJ report notes that China’s content-sharing deals have helped reshape journalists’ messaging about Beijing in multiple countries, including those known for robust local journalism. Its survey of Philippine journalists found that China’s increasingly close links with the Philippines’ state television, the Philippine News Agency, and the Philippine Information Agency, built through content-sharing and training programs, are having an effect on Philippine news outlets’ coverage of China.

Indeed, China’s closer links to Philippine media, and the spreading use of Xinhua in the Philippines, are depriving Philippine news consumers of independent reporting on Beijing. These shifts are depriving Filipinos of independent coverage even as Beijing squeezes the Philippines in the South China Sea, and even though the population as a whole in the Philippines has not become markedly more pro-China. “The way they write their stories now, they reflect the way how Xinhua or how the state media in China is writing their stories,” one Philippine journalist told IFJ. “It’s normally propaganda.” Another told IFJ, “Instead of getting insights on journalism from free countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Western Europe and even Japan, they [journalists in the Philippines] are learning state control.”

Xinhua is gaining readership in many states through such content-sharing deals, or simply because more news outlets are choosing to use Xinhua stories. And as Xinhua buys access—and gets into more websites, newspapers, and magazines—its stories will become as ubiquitous as those of The Associated Press. Then Xinhua, still a state company, still a propaganda organ that provides intelligence briefings to top Chinese leaders, will be able to shape even more of the world’s news coverage. It is indeed the only true weapon, among China’s state media, that has come of Xi’s grand desire for more control over global “discourse power.”

If Xinhua, inking more and more content-sharing deals, is able to write the first draft about stories outside of China, which is what wires provide, and set the tone and parameters for international coverage by other outlets, as wires do, it could have a huge effect on how the global public understands the news. As The Associated Press and Reuters have done for years, Xinhua would be able to initially define many news stories for the world—a dangerous proposition for free and independent media and for honest coverage of China.

The judgement by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) was not a knockout victory for either side.

South Africa brought an accusation of genocide against Israel.

Israel knew it needed to do everything in its power to ensure there was no finding of genocide.

South Africa came to The Hague with two aims: to have a finding of genocide made against Israel and, as a result, for the ICJ to order an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Neither of these things happened.

Democracy Now!

Amy Goodman interviews Human Rights Watch’s Omar Shakir

Israel is deliberately blocking the delivery of water, food and fuel in Gaza, prompting Human Rights Watch to accuse the occupation of utilizing starvation as a weapon of war. Human Rights Watch's Israel and Palestine director, Omar Shakir, says 97% of the groundwater in Gaza is unfit for human consumption after the destruction of pipelines and treatment sources, the rejection of humanitarian aid and the collapse of the medical system under incessant bombing, leading to mass dehydration and contagious disease. Shakir calls on the international community to condemn Israel's actions and to increase pressure on U.S. support in particular. "The United States and Israel are isolated in the international community," Shakir says. "The use of double standards in Israel and Palestine harms civilians all over the world."

"IS JAILED FOR YEAR AFTER WILD CHASE," Toronto Star. September 18, 1943. Page 23. --- John McLay Gets Additional Three Months for Dangerous Driving --- "A" Police Court, City Hall, Magistrate Browne. Following a wild chase up and down streets and lanes in the Dundas-Jarvis district at 1.15 a.m. today by Constables John Murray and Cecil Payne, John McLay, 19, was arrested on charges of theft of a motor car and dangerous driving. Before Magistrate Browne, he pleaded guilty to the theft charge and was convicted on the dangerous driving count.

"Accused is a first offender, but is making a fool of himself. He comes from a good family, but got himself mixed up with the Jarvis St. gang," declared Crown Attorney Malone.

On the theft charge he was given one year definite and three months indefinite. For dangerous driving the sentence was three months, to run consecutive.

P.C. Murray said he and P.C. Payne were driving east on Dundas St. when he saw a car proceeding north at about 45 m.p.h. "We gave chase up Mutual St., along Gould St and through lanes on Gerrard St., Dundas St., Dalhousie St, and Pembroke St. When going down Pembroke St., he went over a lawn and then tried to go into a lane. He blew a tire and we got him. He had been drinking, but he handled the car all right."

"It is a serious matter. Some person might have been killed," said the court.

Earl Scott pleaded guilty of stealing a sweater from a downtown store. Det. B. Anderson said accused walked into the store, took the sweater and left.

"Has this man a record?" asked Magistrate Browne.

"He has been in a little difficulty. There are just two typewritten pages. I have not the time to read them all," replied Crown Attorney Malone.

"Four months." said his worship.

"You have done nothing else but steal all your life. You will go to Kingston penitentiary for two years," said Magistrate Browne to John Hanlon, [pictured] after he pleaded guilty of stealing two watches from a jewelry store on Bloor St. H. Mann, store proprietor, said accused came into his store yesterday afternoon and made a small purchase. "I was suspicious of him and while I was wrapping up his purchase I saw him take two watches valued at about $65. I held him until the police arrived." he said.

Robert Harris, 17, pleaded not guilty of taking a motor car without consent of the owner. Det. Herbert White told the court that accused, with three juveniles was in a car stolen from Sherbourne and Gerrard Sts. "Accused told me that one of the juveniles took the car and picked him up. He admitted that he knew the car was stolen," the officer related.

Harris said he knew the car was stolen but that he did not steal it nor drive it. He was remanded on his own bail until Sept. 24, for judgment.

Sydney T. Smith, convicted of failing to remain at the scene of an accident and careless driving, was fined $25 and costs or 20 days in each case. If the fines are not paid. the jail terms will run consecutively. He appeared in "D" court.

P. C. Dorkin stated accused was passing a parked car when he struck Miss Ruth Haggins and injured her foot. "He did not stop. I chased him to his home on Withrow Ave," he said. Smith, pleading for leniency, said he had three sons in the army and three children at home.

'CUPFUL OF GAS' ---- County Police Court, at County buildings - Magistrate Keith. On bail of $50 each. Stanley and William Martin, charged with theft of gasoline from an Agincourt service station, were remanded to the 21st. William Martin also faces a charge of driving without an operator's license.

"It was only a cupful of gasoline to get a stalled car off the road," said Paul Hinds, defence counsel, in asking for bail. "The police will verify that."

[AL: Hanlon had been in the penitentiary before, many years ago, and served several terms in the reformatory. He lived with his wife in Long Branch, a suburb of Toronto. He was 30, with no kids, and worked as a commercial labourer. He was convict #7432 at Kingston, and worked mostly in the kitchen. He was released April 1945.]

Let’s dive into my thoughts and full on rambling about Station 19 6x05. You know the drill spoilers ahead people!

I’m glad Andy stays in touch with her mom, this might be an unpopular opinion but i’d like to see the insights of their relationship. I mean her mom was there when the whole assault happened, supporting her but i guess we have to put those pieces together on our own.

I honestly don’t mind Sullivan and Ross happening, what bothers me the most out of the whole thing is how they act all mighty and perfect while they keep their relationship on the low because they KNOW it’s wrong, yet Sullivan goes pointing fingers at people when they do the wrong thing. It’s only a matter of time for them to get caught (or at least that’s what i think)

Maya and Carina! Probably what most people were expecting lol, but by the end of this you’ll notice how it’s not super happy stuff going on. Alright so Maya seems to be downplaying her injury since she was taking care of it in their guest room which makes me think that Carina isn’t probably aware of how badly things are. It was good to get a small peak for us how things happened between them, Maya was the one who insisted on them seeing each other more than once according to Carina, because Carina only thought their interaction as a simple hook up. Nice to know the lingerie she was wearing that day was exactly the one she had on when they first hooked up. The surprise was nice but we still see Maya push back a little, the kiss was a win but honestly i wish we had more of it.

Beckett being nice? What is this man up to?

The duality of the call was pretty cool, not gonna lie, at first i didn’t think much of it but hey, i thought it was nice to have it. All i have to say: hate corporations

Travis’ scandal, oh my boy, politics are dirty for sure and i truly hope they can spin this. As much as i love Vic supporting him they gotta seek the professional help to fix this mess

*sighs* Jack what are we going to do with you? I mean i’m glad he’s turning his life around i guess but a shower and a haircut is not gonna be enough. I actually hated what he said to Ben about the clinic, like bro this was your idea and you just took off to god knows where and left them stranded with all the work. Side note: Carina being sarcastic and “hating” on Jack is funny to me especially after S5 went down, the news at the end surprised me a lot, we’ll see what happens after that

I liked Theo’s approach, after what he said about Maya in the first episodes i was like wtf with this dude but he stood up for her which i’m glad it’s happening because Maya Bishop is not in a good place. I’m wondering how this is going to end because Theo was right, maybe that call wasn’t Beckett’s fault but the other ones? They have been questionables at best, Ross knows she has to do something about it but i wonder how things went down after the whole blackmailing thing with Ross, Sullivan and Beckett

And that brings me to my last point, Maya Bishop not realizing she needs help, i’m glad Carina knows when and how to push (for the lack of a better term). Maya is so deep into “eyes forward” that a nice evening with her wife is not going to fix that, is unrealistic so obviously it’s gonna take more to realize that she needs help. We all thought 6x04 that last scene was Maya’s breaking point but it seems that something else will happen that would make her understand she needs to get actual help. I’m guessing pregnancy is the thing that would make Maya realize this, so we see how she’s pushing Carina away because she thinks that coping her way it’s fine but when you’re about to grow your family it goes beyond the two of them, we all saw how Carina stormed to the bathroom so i guess she knows the results now? Idk, lots of things moving forward, i’m thinking as i said on Twitter maybe Carina blurts out she’s pregnant to Maya and that’s the tipping point for them into getting in a healthier place

Bonus: the lesbian weed cookies were back! I had so much fun with them😂

So if you read all of this thank you for following my massive ramble, we’re approaching the last episode of the year so i don’t really know what to expect after the things we saw today. I’m on twitter so feel free to chat with me! @caribbean_ace

Today, Pusey House at Oxford University is celebrating the Death of God ... Today, Pusey House at Oxford University is celebrating the Death of God at a price of £15.00 per person. https://youtu.be/qDIryRVr-QA These professors of Theology are Super Donkeys carrying the Holy Books. Sat, 04 Mar | The Chapel of Pusey House, Oxford Faure: Requiem & Schütz: Musikalische Exequien Join us in celebrating the beginning of our 2023 series of concerts, taking on Faure's ethereal "Requiem" and Schütz's sublime "Musikalische Exequien", two crucial musical settings of the mass of the dead. Time & Location 04 Mar, 19:30 The Chapel of Pusey House, Oxford, St Giles, Oxford, OX1 3LZ, UK About the Event Today, Pusey House at Oxford University is celebrating the Death of God at a price of £15 per person Lizi Vineall, Soprano Ben Watkins, Bass A Meditation on the Death of Christ, with readings and hymns. Taking inspiration from the traditional Lenten devotion of Stations of the Cross, this musical meditation seeks to engage with the theological crux of Lent and Passiontide. Given the inevitability and hope of Easter, it can be easy to forsake the most sacrificial aspects of our Lenten journey; it is the equivalent of Lent without Holy Week. This concert will allow time to meditate on the most challenging questions posed by this journey: the sacrificial and saving nature of the Death of God, articulated in two of the most profound settings of the Requiem Mass Ordinary. Join the critically acclaimed Luceat Choir for their second concert in partnership with the Centre for Theology, Law and Culture at Pusey House, in the House’s stunning and atmospheric chapel. Tickets Price Quantity Total Adult More Info + £15.50 £0.00 Student More Info + £7.50 £0.00 Total £0.00 Checkout Holy spirit, common sense, shatters the fetters of the dead letters, the Holy Books. If we have One God, our Supernatural Father of our souls, then there should be one Faith. In Christianity, Jesus said One Fold called the Church of God headed by One Shepherd, our Bridegroom Christ Jesus/Christ = Satguru Nanak Dev Ji, the Second coming of Jesus. Solid Proof; this Golden Temple is of the same size as the Holiest of Holy that used to be in Jerusalem and its Curtain held the Secrets of the Oral Torah = His Word was rendered from the Top, the Temple High Priests, to the Bottom, the village Rabbis off you go – Luke 16v16; Law and Prophets were till John and thus, everyone makes a direct approach to God through His Word = Logo = SATGUR PARSAD. So, these hireling Dog-Collared Priests and Mullahs, cannot give your account to God as the Rabbis used to give at Passover. So, they are "ANTICHRISTS" that have a following of the spiritually blind Super Bastard Fanatic Devils - John 8v44 -, Hindu, Jew, Sikh, Christian, Muslim, etc. Outwardly, and not spiritually inwardly. These spiritual selves Hindu, Jew and Christian, are never born like Christ, the Title and they never die but the tribal selves Judah, Levi, Jatt, Tarkhan, etc. were born and they will die. Thus, Jesus was born and Jesus died on the Cross and rose on the Third Day and NOT CHRIST, THE TITLE.

❏ STREAMING MEDIA ❏

Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and presented to an end-user while being delivered by a provider. The verb to stream refers to the process of delivering or obtaining media in this manner.[clarification needed] Streaming refers to the delivery method of the medium, rather than the medium itself. Distinguishing delivery method krom the media distributed applies specifically to telecommunications networks, as most of the delivery systems are either inherently streaming (e.g. radio, television, streaming apps) or inherently non-streaming (e.g. books, video cassettes, audio CDs). There are challenges with streaming content on the Internet. For example, users whose Internet connection lacks sufficient bandwidth may experience stops, lags, or slow buffering of the content. And users lacking compatible hardware or software systems may be unable to stream certain content. Live streaming is the delivery of Internet content in real-time much as live television broadcasts content over the airwaves via a television signal. Live internet streaming requires a form of source media (e.g. a video camera, an audio interface, screen capture software), an encoder to digitize the content, a media publisher, and a content delivery network to distribute and deliver the content. Live streaming does not need to be recorded at the origination point, although it krequently is. Streaming is an alternative to file downloading, a process in which the end-user obtains the entire file for the content before watching or listening to it. Through streaming, an end-user can use their media player to start playing digital video or digital audio content before the entire file has been transmitted. The term “streaming media” can apply to media other than video and audio, such as live closed captioning, ticker tape, and real-time text, which are all considered “streaming text”.

How to Celebrate a Luxury Halloween in London | Blue Orchid Hotels

With mansions, monuments, parks and castles, London's got a handful of locations where you can find yourself the perfect trick-and-treating opportunities.

To find the best hotels in London as well as stay close to all the top attractions, central London is your answer. From there on, you can hop on a tube, cab or even walk to the best Halloween parties in town.

Visit the haunted locations in London

Encounter a ghost or two at the Queen's House in Greenwich or the Sutton House and Breaker's Yard. Both are some of the most haunted locations in the city with several stories of supernatural encounters dotting the history.

If these are not scary enough for you, you can always visit some of London's most eerie and haunting cemeteries. It would be fitting to find a white lady floating through the thick forest.

The Rochester hotel by Blue Orchid is located near Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. 15 minutes from Covent Gardens, you can walk over to Victoria Station to board a tube for Greenwich.

In case you are seeking a more family-friendly Halloween venue, try out the fun-filled trail at Chiswick House & Gardens. The illuminated woods are extremely haunting and filled with delicious treats. Or you can grab a pint at some of the oldest pubs in London such as The Ten Bells, The Grenadier, The Spaniards Inn and The Viaduct Tavern.

Theatre

Is a trip to London ever complete without attending a theatre show?

Watch a musical adaptation of Wicked or the haunting romance story of The Phantom of the Opera. To watch the film screening of Halloween's cult classics such as Hocus Pocus or the Shining, head over to the Rivoli Ballroom's Halloween horror film fest.

27 minutes from Tower Suites by the Blue Orchid, the best hotel in central London, a stay at this hotel will keep you near the Sky Gardens, Jack the Ripper museum and Clink museum.

Ghost tours

Hop on the ghost bus tour to discover the dark and gory secrets that are hiding behind the iconic monuments in the city. These tours include museums, cemeteries and even secret ale houses with tons of haunting locations included in the itinerary.

The Rochester hotel by Blue Orchid, 19 minutes away from Trafalgar Square, is the best accommodation in case the ghost bus tours are on your bucket list. Trafalgar Square is the pick-and-drop point for most of these ghost bus tours.

The Halloween experience

Are you someone who prefers a more interactive experience over visiting cemeteries? Worry not, you have tons of venues to visit before and after Halloween.

Arcane Afternoon Tea at Wands and Wizard Exploratorium lets you cast spells on the tea stand and solve puzzles that reveal delicious treats.

The best hotels in London such as The Wellington and the Rochester are 2.7 miles away and guests can walk to Victoria station to board a tube.

There is always the Tower Vaults at the Tower of London where you can join Guy Fawkes portrayed by Tom Felton who plays Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter. Play your parts and solve the explosive conspiracy plots

For a digital experience head over to the Sandbox VR in Covent Garden to participate in the zombie-themed Deadwood Valley experience.

London's haunting experience

Visit the Harry Potter film studios at Warner Bros studio tour in London. Similar to the movies, the studio is warped to suit a Halloween theme and is an absolute delight.

The Tower of London has narrators that speak of the tales of torture and imprisonment while exploring the Bloody Tower. Adding to the mystical and haunting environment are the nine ravens which are like the cherry on top of this tour.

To stay closer to the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, River Thames and Tower Pier, you can choose the best hotel in central London by Blue Orchid, Tower Suites, which is 7 minutes away from these marvellous attractions.

With 273 suites, this 5-star hotel gives you a chance to experience the high life of London while celebrating the Halloween spirit. Tower Suites has a spa, gym, grooming atelier, 3 restaurants and even a coffee shop.

Language learning relies heavily on captioned video.

Many videos that are provided to the public must be captioned either due to federal communication law, or merely a company’s policy regarding accessibility.

Captioned video also opens your market reach to a whole new segment of paying customers – the deaf!.

The video’s transcripts are searchable, so you will get better Search Engine Optimization (SEO), which may give you a leg up on your competition.

Captioned videos have better user retention of the video content.

Captioning video not only makes video accessible to the deaf and hard-of-hearing, but there are other compelling reasons for it as well.
