A great evening with our friends in Muhlenberg Lions
What fortunate timing for our guest speakers at our annual get-together with the Muhlenberg Lions. When John Alshefski booked former Muhlenberg Rotarian and current Gaming Board Commissioner Dante Santoni and Doug Harbach, the Gaming Board Director of Communications he had no idea how current their information would be.
Just the week before the US Supreme Court had ruled as unconstitutional the law prohibiting states from establishing wagering on sports. Now it is something each state must address for itself. Although there is a call for federal legislation to address this issue, it is hard to imagine our Congress moving quickly on this (or almost any other) issue. Pennsylvania is prepared for this outcome by SCOTUS, having included this type of wagering in its latest legislation. How this works out in practice will be of interest to us all.
Additionally, the licenses for Pennsylvania's "mini-casinos" are proceeding. There is one license in play impacting Berks County. The siting process is complicated, with requirements not to infringe on existing casino "franchise areas" as well as respecting local municipality permission. But it appears that the City of Reading and Muhlenberg Township are still possible sites for this casino. Again, we will have to wait and see.
There will be no meeting for this Memorial Day weekend.
Go to a memorial ceremony and remember those who have given their all for our liberties and freedom. Next meeting will be Tuesday, June 5th, at 6:00 at Blind Hartman's

Giants' offensive coordinator joins Parcells in Dallas
DALLAS Offensive coordinator Sean Payton is leaving the New York Giants to join coach Bill Parcells in Dallas, the team said on Friday.
Payton will be an assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach for the Cowboys, who ranked 30th in offense last year.
He said he had discussed openings with Dallas and with the Arizona Cardinals, but he was excited about working with Parcells and the Cowboys.
"I spent some time looking at both of those opportunities and measuring the strengths and weaknesses of them, Payton said Friday on the Cowboys' Web site. "I felt like the opportunity to work with coach Parcells and the Dallas organization was one that was special and one that I had to look at seriously and ultimately take.
Payton's departure from New York had been expected after he was stripped of play-calling duties in October, after a stretch in which the Giants had scored seven touchdowns in seven games. With head coach Jim Fassel calling the plays, the Giants won four straight games to make the playoffs.
Payton, who had called plays for the Giants since 1999, had one year left on his contract in New York.
In Payton's three seasons as the offensive coordinator, the Giants' passing attack ranked 13th, eighth and sixth.
Before joining the Giants in 1999, Payton spent two seasons as the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback coach. He was also an assistant at San Diego State, Indiana State, Miami (Ohio) and Illinois.
The hiring probably means that no one from the Cowboys' current offensive staff will be retained.

AUSTIN — Democrat Wendy Davis collected $100,000 in the last month from Austin Planned Parenthood board member Aimee Boone and $100,000 from EMILY's List, a political committee that supports Democratic women who back abortion rights.
Other big donors during the most recent reporting period included investor Rani Clasquin of Austin, $50,000; League City trial lawyer Ronald Krist, $50,000; and eight contributions of $25,000, including from Cecilia Boone and Suzanne Bartolucci.
In addition, her most recent report shows that Planned Parenthood's political committee spent $20,000 to conduct a poll on Davis' behalf and $9,000 for Web design and staff time.
Davis reported raising $2.85 million in the latest period, between Jan. 24 and Feb. 22. She has $11 million on hand. Republican challenger Greg Abbott raised $2.5 million during the same period and has nearly $30 million in his campaign account.
Underscoring the national dimension of the race, 27 percent of Davis' total in the latest report came from outside Texas, compared with 2 percent of Abbott's total.
But Abbott reported 15 contributions of $50,000 or more. They included $250,000 from former telecommunications executive and horse breeder Kenny Troutt of Dallas, $125,000 from Midland oilman Javaid Anwar, and several $100,000 donations, including from Dallas energy executive Trevor Rees-Jones.
Abbott relied heavily on large donors for contributions in the period. Nearly 71 percent of his total came in contributions of $10,000 or more. Less than half of Davis' total came in contributions of $10,000 or more.
Many of Davis' donations were smaller, but she reported $51,266 in private airplane…Continued here: http://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/state-politics/elections/20140225-wendy-davis-gets-big-donations-from-abortion-rights-backers.ece?nclick_check=1

Liberal Hawk Uncovered as War Profiteer
Glenn Greenwald on the Democrat's leading hawk Peter Galbraith, who, as it turns out, had a huge financial stake in the Iraq war:
After playing a key role in enabling the invasion of Iraq, Galbraith
first became one of a handful of U.S. officials who worked on writing
the Iraqi Constitution, and after he resigned from the government, he
then continuously posed as an independent expert on the region and,
specifically, an "unpaid"adviser to the Kurds on the
Constitution.Galbraith was an ardent and vocal advocate for Kurdish
autonomy, arguing tirelessly in numerous venues for such proposals --
including in multiple Op-EdsforTheNew York Times --and insisting that Kurds must have the right to control oil resources located in Northern Iraq.....
What Galbraith kept completely concealed all these years was that a
company he formed in 2004 came to acquire a large stake in a Kurdish
oil field whereby, as the NYT put it, he "stands to earn
perhaps a hundred million or more dollars." In other words, he had a
direct -- and vast -- financial stake in the very policies which he was
publicly advocating in The New York Times, The WashingtonPost, and countless other American media outlets, where he was presented as an independent expert on the region.
The sad fact is, all of this could have been uncovered at the time, and if the media had done its job, war profiteers like Galbraith would have had far lesser roles in advising the government. Instead, they rolled over and allowed despicable human beings like Galbraith to cheer lead war while getting immensely rich from it. Truth be told, the entire enterprise was a giant money making scheme as the government figured it would make trillions for the oil industry, and tech companies would get rich of the new weaponry it was making. Cable news did well out of the mayhem too - treating it, as Matt Taibbi put it, as "a big fucking
football game that you can sell Coke and Pepsi and Scott's Fertilizer to."
While Galbraith is hardly the biggest villain, he is one of the worst - a pretend expert who used his knowledge of the region to make money from their misery. In other words, a merchant of death.

3-D Flexible Embedded Machine Foundations by BEM and FEMby Alexandros P. Gaitanaros, Univ of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA,
Dimitris L. Karabalis, Univ of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Recent Applications in Computational Mechanics
A study on the dynamic response of three-dimensional flexible massless foundations of arbitrary shape, embedded in a homogeneous, isotropic and linear elastic half-space and subjected to externally applied forces is presented. The numerical method employed is a combination of the frequency domain Boundary Element Method, which is used to simulate the elastic soil medium, and the Finite Element Method, on the basis of which the stiffness matrix of the flexible foundation is obtained. The foundation and soil media are combined by enforcing the compatibility and equilibrium conditions at their common interface.

Pine Creek Gorge, the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania
Great Place to View Fall Foliage
In north central Pennsylvania, Pine Creek Gorge cuts through 47 miles of second-growth forest from U.S. Route 6, just south of Ansonia, to Waterville, PA. Over 800 feet deep at its northern end and 1,450 feet deep in the south near Waterville, it is the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.
With steep canyon walls and waterfalls, scenic vistas and breathtaking views, abundant wildlife and numerous outdoor recreation opportunities, Pine Creek Gorge is one of the natural treasures of the Keystone State. Hawks, Canadian geese, ducks and the occasional bald eagle can be seen in the gorge. Bear, whitetail deer and wild turkey are also found in the forests.
The gorge is noted for the variety of outdoor activities that can be enjoyed in any season. The brilliant colors of fall foliage are particularly stunning when viewed from the numerous overlooks in Colton Point and Leonard Harrison State Parks.
Pine Creek Gorge, a National Natural Landmark and an Important Bird Area (#38), is part of the Tioga State Forest, one of eight state forests in the Pennsylvania Wilds region. Pine Creek is a Pennsylvania Scenic and Wild River.
Pine Creek Rail Trail, an old railroad right of way, follows the shores of Pine Creek for over 60 miles from Ansonia to Jersey Shore, PA.
Geology and Ecology
Over 20,000 years ago, the Laurentide Continental Glacier reversed the flow of Pine Creek from a northeasterly direction to its now southern direction. The melting glacier and subsequent river flow have cut through five major rock formations of the Allegheny Plateau to create the canyon we see and enjoy today. Technically, the "mountains" on either side of the river are not true mountains. They were created by erosion of the plateau.
With virgin old-growth forests, Pine Creek Gorge was a plentiful source of timber in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. By the early 20th century, the area had been clear-cut, and forest fires further diminished the foliage. Efforts by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s lead to a regrowth of the forest and the development of the state parks. Many of the facilities built by the CCC remain in use today. Wildlife that were driven away with the clear-cutting have since been successfully reintroduced.
Northern Portion
The northern end of the gorge, over 800 feet deep and 4,000 feet wide, is flanked to the west by Colton Point and to the east by Leonard Harrison State Parks. Officially separate state parks, a 2002 article in the New York Times referred to them as "Two State Parks, Divided by a Canyon." A highlight of both parks is their numerous overlooks with stunning views of the gorge. Trails in the parks provide access to the bottom of the gorge and Pine Creek.
The easiest access to the floor of the canyon is via the Pine Creek Rail Trail at its northern terminus 3 miles north of Wellsboro at Wellsboro Junction. Additional access points are along U.S. Route 6 near Ansonia, as well as Big Meadows, Darling Run, and Blackwell Access Areas.
This 16-mile stretch from Ansonia to Blackwell is less populated, more isolated, and is a canyon covered in forest green. With protected land in the state parks on both sides of the river, there is little development. A few scattered camps can be found along the river's shoreline.

"Two State Parks Divided by a Canyon"
Colton Point State Park
This 368-acre park was named for Henry Colton, a Williamsport lumberman. The park is located 5 miles south of U.S. Route 6 (Ansonia) on Colton Road.
Trails within the park include:
- Rim Trail: a flat 1-mile trail along the perimeter of Colton Point connects the viewing areas.
- Turkey Path: a strenuous trail (3-mile round trip) that follows Fourmile Run down to Pine Creek. A 70-foot waterfall can be seen about 1/3 of the way down the trail.
- West Rim Trail: over 30 miles long, runs from near Ansonia in the north to Rattlesnake Rock near Blackwell in the south.
Leonard Harrison State Park
The creation of this 585-acre state park was started in 1906 with 121 acres owned by Wellsboro lumberman, Leonard Harrison. The park is located 10 miles west of Wellsboro at the end of PA Route 660.
Trails and viewing areas within the park include:
- Turkey Path: a difficult 1-mile (2-mile round trip) trail that descends from the rim down to the bottom of the gorge. With overlooks, scenic vistas and waterfalls on Little Fourmile Run, there are plenty of gorgeous views to enjoy along the way.
- Overlook Trail is a moderately difficult 0.6-mile loop to Otter View, a lookout with a southern view. The trail passes an old CCC incinerator and a plantation of Red Pines.
- Lookout Terrace is a developed area along the rim of the gorge. While there are several good locations to view the gorge, I believe the best is at the far southern end of the terrace. It does require walking down 53 steps to get there, but the views make the walk back up worth it.
Turkey Path trails in both state parks provide foot access to the bottom of the gorge and Pine Creek. Both trails are 'down and out.' There is no bridge across the river between them. But, when the water level is low, the river could be forded.
Visitor Tips
Both state parks have picnic tables and shelters. While Colton Point offers rustic camping (latrines, no flush toilets or showers), Leonard Harrison offers modern camping facilities that include hot showers and flush toilets.
Leonard Harrison State Park has an Environmental Interpretive Center, gift shop, and vending machines that are open from late April to late October each year.
Reforestation and construction of the structures, trails and roads in and to the parks were a result of the efforts of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the mid-1930s. Structures built by the CCC at Colton State Park are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Colton Point and Leonard Harrison State Parks, together, are one of "Twenty Must-See Pennsylvania State Parks."
Southern Portion
The southern portion of Pine Creek Gorge, although deeper, is broader and looks more like a river valley than a canyon. In addition to the rail trail, roads also parallel Pine Creek in this area. Unlike the northern portion of the gorge where visitors are common at the rim, in the south, most residents and visitors near the river. The small towns of Blackwell, Cedar Run, Slate Run, and Waterville offer restaurants and retail shops. Lodging is available in Blackwell and Cedar Run as well as from several rental cabins throughout the area.
Whether hiking, biking, or even kayaking or canoeing in this area, you can easily stop mid-trip for a snack or even a meal.
Outdoor Activities
Pine Creek, the state parks, state forests, and the rail trail provide numerous outdoor activities in all seasons. While camping, picnicking, hiking, fishing, biking, swimming and boating are popular summer and early fall activities, Class 1 to Class 2 whitewater boating can be enjoyed in the spring and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are options in the winter. The first three weeks of October are particularly good times to enjoy the changing colors and fall foliage. Hunting is also permitted in the area.
Pine Creek Rail Trail
This 63.4-mile crushed limestone trail on an abandoned rail bed follows Pine Creek from Wellsboro Junction in the north to Jersey Shore in the south. A gentle 2% downhill grade, north to south, makes the trail enjoyable for almost any level of hiker or biker. With several access points, hikes and rides can be tailored to any length or duration. Water and comfort stations (compost toilets) are located along the trail.
From Ansonia to Blackwell, this 17-mile stretch of trail through the state parks is remote with little access by road. South of Blackwell, the trail parallels Pine Creek and PA Route 414 for 25 miles to Waterville. South of Waterville, the final 17-mile section of the trail follows PA Route 44 and the river to Jersey Shore.
Visitor Tips
The southern section of trail is almost always close to the highway and river and crosses both several times. Enjoy the thrill of riding across an old railroad trestle and stop in the middle to enjoy the view.
No need to pack a lunch for a trip on the southern portion of Pine Gorge Rail Trail. You can stop for a meal or a snack at one of the restaurants or stores along the way.
Horseback riding is permitted on the northern section of the trail between Ansonia and Tiadaghton. In the winter, the trail makes for great cross-country skiing.
Motorcycles, snowmobiles and ATVs are not allowed on any section of Pine Creek Rail Trail.
Pine Creek Gorge, the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania
While not the Grand Canyon of Arizona, Pine Creek Gorge is certainly a "Grand Canyon." With steep cliffs, numerous cascading waterfalls, scenic vistas, and second-growth forests, it has beauty and majesty all its own.

GClark, thanks for stopping by and commenting. There is so much more in the area. The Hub only touched the surface. Besides all of the outdoor activities there are some great little towns like Wellsboro and Waterville.
Hockey8mn, so many grand canyons, so little time. If my son could support me, I would love to visit the canyons in NY, TX, and HI (there are several other states also with canyons). I have been to Waimea Canyon in Hawaii as well as the one in Australia, but would love to go back to both.
Suzettenaples,next time you are in PA, you'll have to stop by Pine Creek Gorge. Make it a family reunion! Thanks for stoping by and commenting.
Suzette Walker from Taos, NM on September 11, 2012:
Stunning and beautiful article and photos. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state and their autumns are to die for. My parents are from central PA so we have family back there. I have never seen this park or gorge, but someday will have to travel to N. PA to see this. The photos are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this with us!
hockey8mn from Pennsylvania on September 11, 2012:
I see you have published yet another hub about a grand canyon other than the one most people know about. Please do tell, are there any others? Well written, informative, and a place I must visit soon. Voted up and interesting.
GClark from United States on September 11, 2012:
What an outstanding hub! Complete with interesting historical details and illustrated with some great photos, I can't imagine what else someone would want to know about this area. It has been years since I visited Pennsylvania, and then only touched on a small portion of the state. So much to see and so little time seems to be the story of our lives. Thanks for sharing.
Mark Shulkosky (author) from Pennsylvania on September 11, 2012:
Happyboomernurse, thank you for the votes and share. Maybe you'll get to see the gorge this October. Delaware isn't that far away.
Gail Sobotkin from South Carolina on September 11, 2012:
Came here on fpher's recommendation and am so glad I did. This hub has so much great information about the park and the photos are stunning. As you say, this would make a great road trip in October when all those leaves are ablaze with color.
Voted up across the board except for funny. Also shared.

As the days begin to warm up and the flowers begin to bloom in April, people start to go outside more to enjoy outdoor activities; Kingos are no exception. Since both campuses of SKKU are especially full of cherry blossoms in April, most Kingos go around the campuses and take pictures. As Kingos move around, however, it is not hard to see other Kingos smoking in the smoking areas. If the campus smoking areas were designed properly, there would be no conflict between Kingos; however, the smoking areas of SKKU on both campuses are not properly regulated. Because of this, there exists conflict between non-smokers and smokers regarding smoking areas on each campus. For this reason, the Sungkyun Times (SKT) now explores the current smoking areas on both campuses, examines the causes of the conflict between non-smoking and smoking Kingos, and proposes possible solutions to reduce the conflict.
SKKU's Current Smoking Areas
|Smoking Areas in Humanities and Social Sciences Campus/ SKKU Management Team
|Smoking Areas in Natural Sciences Campus/ SKKU Management Team
According to Article 9.4 of the National Health Promotion Act, office buildings of public institutions under the Act for the Management of Public Institutions must be designated as non- smoking areas. Signs indicating that buildings are non-smoking areas can be installed, and smoking areas can also be installed. "In such cases, the owner, occupant, or manager may install smoking rooms for smokers, and the standards, methods, etc. for the installation of signs indicating non-smoking areas and smoking areas shall be prescribed by Ordinance of the Ministry of Health and Welfare."1 All of the buildings at SKKU have been designated as non-smoking areas since December 1st, 1999. Though many smoking areas exist on both the Humanities and Social Sciences Campus and the Natural Sciences Campus, these smoking areas are not official, and that is where the problems begin.
Various Problems of Current Smoking Areas
Conflict Between Non-smokers and Smokers
Because of the way SKKU's current smoking areas are designated, both non-smokers and smokers can feel uncomfortable. Non- smokers can feel uncomfortable and perhaps disgusted as they are involuntarily exposed to the hazards of second-hand smoke; smokers feel uncomfortable as they have to walk on eggshells even when they are smoking in a designated smoking area. Therefore, there always seems to be an unseen conflict between non-smokers and smokers, and it is indeed not too difficult to see arguments about current smoking areas on school community websites. For example, there was an incident where an argument between a non-smoker and a smoker went horribly wrong. In September, 2014, two Kingos had a fierce debate regarding smoking areas on campus, ending up with one student hitting the other student and resulting in injuries that required two weeks to recover from.
Causes of Conflict Between Non-smokers and Smokers
So, what are the potential causes of the conflict between non- smokers and smokers? There are two main issues that may have caused the conflict between non-smokers and smokers. First of all, "officially" designated smoking areas do not exist on both campuses. As mentioned earlier, there are smoking areas for the convenience of smokers, but they are not official. Because smoking areas on campus are not official, there are even some smoking areas that have non-smoking signs. For example, the space between the Toegye Hall of Humanities and the Dasan Hall of Economics on the Humanities and Social Sciences Campus is widely known as a smoking area, but a non-smoking sign is attached to the wall next to it. Another problem, probably the most serious one, with SKKU's current smoking areas is that they violate the rights of non- smokers. Most of the conflict between non-smokers and smokers on campus arise because some of the smoking areas are near places where many Kingos pass by. That is, many non-smokers are involuntarily exposed to second-hand smoke. When designating smoking areas for the convenience of smokers, the school did not take into account the opinions of all students, and as a result, many students are suffering. For instance, on the Humanities and Social Sciences Campus, Kingos are dissatisfied with the smoking area in front of the Business School building, where most of the Kingos pass by every day. Similarly, Kingos using the rooms on the 1st floor of the Student Center and on the 3rd floor of the Suseon Hall seldom open windows because smoking areas are located right outside the windows. On the Natural Sciences Campus, many Kingos are dissatisfied with the smoking area located on the sides of the Samsung Library. The reason why officially designating official smoking areas is necessary is that current smoking areas infringe upon not only the rights of non-smokers who wish to avoid smoke, but also the rights of smokers who wish to smoke. According to a survey carried out with 116 Kingos, 95.7% of non-smokers and 95.5% of smokers answered that the designation of "official" smoking areas is needed. Secondly, there is insufficient action and punishment from the school for smoking in places where smoking is strictly prohibited. Another reason why conflict between smokers and non- smokers arises is that smokers smoke outside of the designated smoking areas. In the case of the Humanities and Social Sciences Campus, smokers smoke near places such as outside of the 4th floor of Hoam Hall and the 1st level basement of the Business School building, where smoking is prohibited. On the Natural Sciences Campus, smoking takes place in front of the General Studies building where smoking is also prohibited. According to the survey, 58.5% of non-smokers answered that they had witnessed smokers smoking in non-smoking areas, and 50% of smokers responded that they have smoked in non-smoking areas. According to Article 34 of the National Health Insurance Act, "a person who smokes in a non-smoking area […] shall be punished by an administrative fine not exceeding one hundred thousand won."2 Fines, however, are only imposed once a report has been made, and the school itself does not crack down on people who smoke in non-smoking areas. What is worse is that the school does not notify students of the smoking areas. The SKT contacted the management team of SKKU to find out the specific locations of the smoking areas on campus, but the management team only provided maps notifying smokers of the locations of the smoking areas, and these were also vague. The management team also told the SKT to look up past announcements on the school website to find out more information. Unfortunately, nothing about smoking areas could be found there.
Possible Solutions to Satisfy Both Smokers and Non-smokers
In order for both smokers and non-smokers to coexist happily, solutions must be found for the two causes of the conflict between them.
① Designation of Official Smoking Areas
In order for the school to properly manage and punish those who smoke in smoking-prohibited areas, designation of official smoking areas on campus must take place first. Regarding the redesign and designation of official smoking areas on both campuses, the S:with student council from the Humanities and Social Sciences Campus said that it is trying to find places that not only minimize the inconvenience to non-smokers but satisfy smokers. S:with, however, conceded that it is not easy to find solutions to the problems that Kingos are facing since the campus is small. The S:with student council from the Natural Sciences Campus said, "The council considered installing smoking booths, but the issue is currently 'pending' any resolution because of problems such as cost, ventilation, inconvenience to the smokers, aesthetic problems, and management." The council added that it is actively looking for examples of successful smoking booths that the school can follow and that it is also considering restricting smoking areas with tape. So, what procedures should be executed in order to fix and designate "official" smoking areas? For now, it is necessary to officially designate smoking areas based on the opinions of both smokers and non-smokers. According to the survey, Kingos feel that it is necessary to turn places such as the front of the Business School building and both sides of the Samsung Library into non- smoking areas since there are many people passing by. On the other hand, if there are any current smoking areas with which both smokers and non-smokers are satisfied, the school should designate those places as official smoking areas. It should find the common characteristics of those places and search for other places on campus that have similar characteristics and designate those places as official smoking areas as well. For example, according to the survey, most Kingos were satisfied with the smoking areas located on the 2nd floor of the Central Library from the Humanities and Social Sciences Campus and "CC Hill" on the Natural Sciences Campus.
② Strengthening Punishment and Management
In order to deter students from smoking in smoking-prohibited areas, the school should ask the local public health centers for a crackdown and to impose a _ne on those who violate the rules. In the case of Soongsil University, for instance, the school imposes a fine on students who smoke in non-smoking areas with the aid of health centers nearby. SKKU should also work on cracking-down. Before 2012, when smoking indoors took place, the management team of the Natural Sciences Campus once took active measures to diminish and to even eradicate smoking inside buildings. There was a safety department in the management team of the Natural Sciences Campus. It used Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) to identify smokers who smoked in the smoking-prohibited areas and posted pictures of them with non-smoking signs around them. The school should also actively make official announcements about smoking areas so that smokers know which places are for smoking and which are for non-smoking. In the case of Soongsil University, the school made announcements about the smoking areas on the school website, with pictures of the smoking areas and the specific locations of those areas written below. Since SKKU also has a lot of CCTVs around campus, it would be wise to make constant announcements and run campaigns to stir up the awareness of smokers on the two campuses.
|Soongsil University's Announcement about Smoking Areas on Campus/ ssu.ac.kr
It might be hard to satisfy both smokers and non-smokers. If both sides try to satisfy only their goals, the conflict of the smoking areas will never end. In order for smokers and non-smokers to live in harmony, both sides should give in and try to find a middle ground. It will be interesting to see if the student councils will be able to contribute to help solve the conflict of the smoking areas in the future.

Artist Biographies:
• Show Bio for John Tilbury
"John Tilbury (born 1 February 1936) is a British pianist. He is considered one of the foremost interpreters of Morton Feldman's music, and since 1980 has been a member of the free improvisation group AMM.
Tilbury studied piano at the Royal College of Music with Arthur Alexander and James Gibb and also with Zbigniew Drzewiecki in Warsaw. 1968 he was the winner of the Gaudeamus competition in the Netherlands.
During the 1960s, Tilbury was closely associated with the composer Cornelius Cardew, whose music he has interpreted and recorded and a member of the Scratch Orchestra. His biography of Cardew, "Cornelius Cardew - A life unfinished" was published in 2008.
Tilbury has also recorded the works of Howard Skempton and John White, among many others, and has also performed adaptations of the radio plays of Samuel Beckett.
With guitarist AMM bandmate Keith Rowe's electroacoustic ensemble M.I.M.E.O., Tilbury recorded The Hands of Caravaggio, inspired by the painter's The Taking of Christ {1602). In this live performance, twelve of the members of M.I.M.E.O. were positioned around the piano in a deliberate echo of Christ's Last Supper. The thirteenth M.I.M.E.O. member (Cor Fuhler) is credited with "inside piano" as he interacted and interfered with Tilbury's playing by manipulating and damping the instrument's strings, essentially doing piano preparation in real time. Critic Brian Olewnick describes the album as "A staggering achievement, one is tempted to call The Hands of Caravaggio the first great piano concerto of the 21st century."
Another notable recent recording of Tilbury's was Duos for Doris (like The Hands of Caravaggio also on Erstwhile Records), a collaboration with Keith Rowe. It is widely considered a landmark recording in the genre of electroacoustic improvisation (or "EAI").
In 2013 he collaborated with artist Armando Lulaj in FIEND performance at the National Theatre of Tirana (Albania)."-Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tilbury)

sample the album:
"It was in 1961 that I first met Tomek Sikorski. We were both in Zbigniew Drzewiecki's class at the Warsaw Conservatory. He must have been in his early twenties. I recall he was quick-tempered, volatile; he did not suffer fools gladly. His speech was quick and precise, as were his movements. "Quickly, quickly", he would exhort his friends. He loved the music of Bach and had performed one of the Books of the "48" the previous semester. Regrettably, it was before I arrived in Warsaw. We became firm friends. Hardly a day went by when we did not meet up somewhere, often with friends, to talk, especially but not only about the new music, and eat and drink, at the Bristol Hotel or in a favorite coffee bar, Telimena or Ali Baba on the Krakowskie Przedmieście street. He was the most generous of men, sometimes difficult but with a heart of gold.
The music on this album demonstrates Sikorski's unerring feeling for harmony and register; the "minimalism" of these pieces was absorbed naturally, the repetitions never seem arbitrary. Above all, this is piano music, par excellence. The improvisation for prepared piano which follows is a humble tribute, elegiac in character and full of echoes and personal reminiscences of the man and his music.
On my return to England in 1965 we lost touch; we were leading busy lifes and our paths never crossed again. But the memory remains. Strong and clear. They were good times."-John Tilbury, Linear Notes

(Updated 01.06.2020: complete edit of the article) Lighting in the main habitat will consist of different modes: standby, activity, emergency and disinfection. This section should explain the ideal system of lighting inside the underwater habitat. Continue reading "Interior Lighting"
Underwater Navigation
The danger of excursion divers getting lost have always been a major concern in underwater habitats. According to their webpage the Dive Tracker consists of a sender and a tracker. From a distance of up to 4000ft (?1300m) divers can easily track the direction of the sender's signal and return to their safe location. Costs: from 1200USD per set. (Homepage Dive Tracker).

The Exosuit
Developed and built in North Vancouver by Nuytco Research Ltd, this hard metal dive suit allows divers to operate safely down to a depth of 1000 feet and yet still have exceptional dexterity and flexibility to perform delicate work. The amazing technology of the EXOSUIT atmospheric diving system (ADS) maintains a cabin pressure of the surface and still allows the suit to bend due to a unique rotary joint invented by Phil Nuytten. Get details on Nuytco.com.
Augmented Reality Underwater
How helpful would it be to have Augmented Reality underwater in a closed environment like an Undersea Station? NASA experimented with Augmented Reality (AR) or Mixed Reality (MR) by using Microsofts HoloLens at the Aquarius Reef Base off the coast of Key Largo, Florida, in late July/August 2015. Potential astronauts used the device for tasks like checking emergency breathing equipment. Therefore they were going through a series of steps ranging from turning valves to finding and plugging in equipment, and setting up equipment to support an undersea robot.

The FlyDive is a transportation system for divers and a brainchild of Christoph Schindler. The Propulsion for this device is generated by pressurized air moving a pair of flexible wings imitating the body of a ray. Continue reading "FlyDive by Schindler Design"
Underwater Station: Virtual Porthole
Here is an idea for a porthole where the structure of the underwater station does not allow to install one. For example on the ceiling, where penetrations of the shell should be strictly avoided in order to maintain the integrity of the emergency safety area in the upper part of the living area. The Virtual Porthole would consist of a camera on the exterior of the shell and a TV flat screen on same position inside the habitat. Continue reading "Underwater Station: Virtual Porthole"

What mistakes we always make before buying cars?
August 28, 2019
There are lots of scams nowadays and usually, it happens to us when we plan to buy cars for ourselves. We came across certain things that shouldn't happen but there are so many mistakes we make before buying cars. In this blog, we are going to let you know about mistakes and we suggest you people don't repeat it twice. Let's have a look
No research
Nowadays it is important for whatever we are planning to buy we always need to research first so we should keep this into our consideration. Do research first before shopping to check out the market rates for cars as per your current needs. Don't for direct shopping because you won't find the desired results so sit back and note down all your requirements first over the paper and then go shopping. It saves you from lots of hassle.
Not Internet research
Nowadays it has become pretty obvious whatever we have to buy should be researched over the internet at least. Do you know what people do these days? They don't research and not compare it with other models' prices which is not good. People always need to do detailed research on the desired car models and market price. You will get various deals on second car options as well. So take out some time from your busy routine and do an internet research
Going for the wrong mortgage option
If you people have fallen in such situation where you don't have enough money to buy a car then the mortgage will be your alternate and wrong mortgage option can take you somewhere else which is difficult for you to get yourself out. Go and find the right company for a mortgage and get the mortgage advice in Northampton where experts are all set to give you a right advise before going somewhere else for non-reliable suggestions.
Skipping Insurance
How many of you don't check the insurance after buying car? It's important to add comprehensive insurance coverage. Car companies often used to give insurance coverage depending on the cost. New car keeps you in the long run and won't leave you in any financial trouble but to have insurance coverage is an additional bonus.
These are some mistakes that we all make before buying cars. If you people haven't noted it yet then do it fast because it may take you towards a biggest disaster that we don't want anyone should suffer from this.

Here's an argument that rings true: Hardline Brexiteer Tories think they can dupe us into blaming Brussels for blackmailing Britain, when the facts betray nothing of the sort.
They must think we're all stupider than they are.
I do hope they're mistaken.
The so-called Brexit bill – in fact a calculation to be made of the UK's share of projects that we have already agreed to – is something that Theresa May cannot settle because of a deliberate strategy of the hard line Brexiteers on the right wing of her party.
They are in a panic because opinion polls are showing that public opinion has not rallied, as expected, behind Brexit. If anything, it is edging the other way and could well go further as the chaos, confusion and economic damage of the Tory Brexitshambles becomes more and more apparent.
The Brexiteers therefore want to have a row about money, and keep it going as long as possible.
They calculate that this is a subject they can portray as a grasping EU trying to blackmail Britain into paying an unwarranted exit fee. They rely on the complexity of the issue which they hope will deter people from looking beyond the headlines. The tried and tested tactic of Blaming Brussels will, they hope, deflect public disquiet away from them and lessen calls for a rethink on Brexit itself.

Missile Defense Agency Updating Parts Of IT, Cyber Operations
The Defense subagency is looking for upgrades.
The Missile Defense Agency, a subagency within the Department of Defense, is working to revamp parts of its information technology and cybersecurity systems with a new contract solicitation posted in late December.
Called the Technical, Engineering, Advisory and Management Support-Next program, the new software is not an overhaul featuring a particular IT system. Rather, the MDA is looking for updates within its Advisory and Assistance Services, a category of contracted technical services that will work to streamline the logistics surrounding the department's project management operations.
Members of the MDA staff and workforce working within the IT and cybersecurity divisions of the agency will be the primary beneficiaries of the new technology, along with the chief information officer.
This individual modernization plan speaks to the Defense Department's and the federal government's broader push for more resilient cybersecurity and business software. John Sherman, the chief information officer at Defense, testified in the summer of 2021 about his agency's plans to implement advanced technologies like cloud services into the agency's daily operations.
"We continue to deploy secure and agile solutions. All of these efforts must address cybersecurity from the start," Sherman said at the time.

MG Energy Systems / for the marine market
Power on demand
Uninterrupted power on demand is fundamental to yacht and ship operations. These days modern marine applications require more power than ever for applications ranging from navigation systems to air-conditioning. Reliability is key, especially in harsh and remote environments.
Electrification will help the marine industry transition to a more efficient operation, offering significant value, both financially and environmentally.
Need for green
Power and speed are not the only requirements in marine development. Increasing awareness of the need for sustainable shipping calls for eco-friendly technologies, emissions reduction, reduced fuel consumption and greater safety in order to conserve our environment.
Yet, the biggest challenge is finding a way to implement these cleaner technologies without losing your competitive position.

I'm happy to introduce my capstone project: iris. It has finally taken its final form of ten guidelines for mobile app design. These guidelines have been developed based on the broad themes I've noticed throughout the semester as I designed mockup screens for three apps: notes, music, and messaging.
I've attempted to make these guidelines as digestible as possible in order to a more general audience than merely other designers. You'll notice short amount of text for each guideline, augmented by examples on the opposite side of the screen. You may also notice that many of the images on the site scroll at different speeds (parallax), for a more engaging experience.
As many of my peers would echo, this semester has been quite odd. Still, I am happy with the finalized version of my capstone project. The feedback I received throughout the semester was extremely informative and is what ultimately guided my decisions on how to present this project.
Now that the semester is
almost over, I would like to take a moment to thank the folks I've encountered during my time in the Minor in Writing, especially T–who I had for both gateway and capstone. I will greatly miss T's impressively consistent positive energy, encouragement, and flexibility, as I'm sure many of my peers will as well.
Speaking of my peers… thank you, too! Your feedback throughout the semester was helpful, but more importantly, seeing your projects come together during the semester was quite frankly inspiring.

What Techniques Can Be Used to Motivate People in an Exercise Class?
If you think that all exercise-class participants remain motivated throughout their workouts, you may be in for a surprise. The mark of a good exercise instructor involves providing constant positive feedback, preparing energy-filled classes and planning ahead for future classes. Learning these motivational tactics can assist you in creating motivated participants that stick to your program for the long term.
Creating enthusiasm and supportive energy starts with the instructor. Remaining upbeat during an exercise class poses many challenges. Instructors compete with loud music while staying on pace with the beat. If your participants fail to hear your exercise cues, they may become frustrated and not return. Class members watch an instructor's every move and feed off their energy. Exercise class leaders must remain energetic throughout the entire class.
Keep It Fresh
Planning ahead for your exercise classes is another technique for keeping motivation levels high. Instructors are compensated for creating high-energy classes. Constantly teaching the same routine creates boredom for participants and drains the motivating energy from your class. Take the time to plan new moves for an entire month by creating a schedule. Keeping your class members guessing keeps them excited to attend your class and motivates them to work harder.
The selection of music you use during your exercise class plays a vital role in member motivation. According to the American Council on Exercise, people who listen to music during exercise are more aroused and get distracted from discomforts they may feel. Select high-energy songs that correspond to the exercises you use.
Positive Feedback
Periodically provide positive feedback for your class members after the workout. Mentioning the progress or visible weight loss motivates a person more than you may realize. Mention the hard work of one or two class members each week. Having one-on-one conversations with participants enables you to understand their personal challenges, which can help you provide suggestions for their progress.

Flopper (Debt auctions) - If the deficit is not covered in the forward auction portion of the
flip auction, then debt auctions are used for getting rid of the Vow's debt by auctioning off MKR for a fixed amount of Dai. Once the auction ends, the
Flopper will then send the received Dai to the
Vow in order to cancel its debt. Lastly, the
Flopper will mint the MKR for the winning bidder.
Flapper (Surplus auctions) - These are used for getting rid of the
Vow's surplus by auctioning off a fixed amount of internal Dai for MKR. Once the auction ends, the

Vow.wait (the flop delay) time has expired.
Sin is stored when it's in the debt queue, but the debt available to auction isn't explicitly stored anywhere. This is because the debt that is eligible for auction is derived by comparing the
Sin (i.e. debt on the holding queue) with the dai balance of the
Vow as recorded in

tab amount in the
Sin shouldn't be necessary, but in practice it actually is. If this debt is not unblocked, then when we have a real need to send a
flop auction, we might have a big
Sin that blocks it. To summarize, this means that each registry of
sin[era] that has an amount > 0 should be
flog'ed before kicking a
flop auction (this is because in order to kick the whole thing, you need every register to be 0, otherwise, it would be blocking debt).

vow.Sin - debt blocked
vow.Ash - debt in auctions
Vow.sin records individual portions of debt (marked with a timestamp). These are not directly auctioned off, but cleared when
flog is called.
Sin is not covered by holding a
flip auction within the designated wait time (
tau), the
Sin "matures" and gets marked as bad debt to the
Vow. This bad debt can be covered through a debt auction (
flop) when it exceeds a minimum value (the
lot size). In short, the time between the debt being added to the
sin[] queue and becoming "mature" (when it
flogs off the queue and is eligible for
Flop auction) is the amount of time that
Flip auction has to clear that debt. This is due to the fact that when a
Flip auction receives DAI, it decreases the

Vow.wait is different than the

Sin can affect the system in the following way:
Vows each with their own
Vow that has
sin, this can create untracked bad debt in the system.
Vow.Sin - This calculates the total queued debt in the system.
Vow.Ash- This calculates the total on-auction debt.

flop) and surplus (
flap) auctions, which work to correct the system's monetary imbalances.

Sin (the system debt unit). The

Sin queue. Note: When the
Sin is not covered by a

Vow.wait, when set too high (
wait is too long), the
flop auctions can no longer occur. This provides a risk of undercollateralization.
Vow.wait, when set too low, can cause too many
flop auctions, while preventing
flap auctions from occurring.
Vow.bump, when set too high, can result in no
flap auctions being possible. Thus, if no
flap auction takes place, there will be no MKR bidding as part of that process and, accordingly, no automated MKR burn as a result of a successful auction.
Vow.bump, when set too low, results in
flap auctions not being profitable for participants (
lot size is worth less than gas cost). Thus, no MKR will be bid during a
flap auction and, as a result, there will be no automated MKR burn.
Vow.sump, when set too high, no
flop auctions are possible. This results in the system not being able to recover from an undercollateralized state.
Vow.sump, when set too low,
flop auctions are not profitable for participants (where the
lot size is worth less than gas cost). This results in MKR inflation due to automated MKR minting.
Vow.dump, when set too high,
flop auctions risk not being able to close or mint a large amount of MKR, creating a risk of MKR dilution and the possibility of a governance attack.
Vow.dump, when set too low,
flop auctions have to be
kicked many times before they will be interesting to keepers.
Vow.hump, when set too high, the
flap auctions would never occur. If a
flap auction does not occur, there is no sale of surplus, and thus, no burning of bid MKR.
Vow.hump, if set too low, can cause surplus to be auctioned off via
flap auctions before it is used to cancel
sin from liquidations, necessitating
flop auctions and making the system run inefficiently.

Canada Airline To Offer Flights Across Canada For Only $20
As you may know, it can cost you more money to fly to the other side of Canada than it would to fly to Europe.
Right now, a one-way flight from Montreal to B.C. will run you about $630. Double that, if you ever plan on returning.
READ ALSO: You Can Now Fly From Montreal To Thailand For Only $760 Round Trip
People are always complaining that Canada is one the most expensive countries in the world to fly, but according to Flytrippers, things are about to change.
WestJet are planning on launching a new ultra low cost carrier airline in 2018 which will be able to offer flights across Canada for as low as $20!
So why is it so cheap? They just don't bother will all the extras. There are no meals, no entertainment systems, no Wi-Fi, no assigned seating, you have to pay extra for your luggage, and you have to be flexible on dates.
Companies like WOWAir already started offering discount low cost flights from Canada to Europe and according to Flytrippers, you can already find flights to Plattsburgh for $30 and flights within Eruope for $5.
And now that more companies like these are starting to pop up in Canada, the costs are only going to keep dropping.

Taprobane Island provides one of Sri Lanka's most iconic photographs, an impossibly romantic destination perfect for a traveller seeking a truly escapist location. It peers from behind trees on a rocky outcrop in Weligama Bay, surrounded by two-and-a-half acres of secluded gardens, jungle and the sea. Look north for the mainland; look south and there is nothing between you and the South Pole. The island was bought for the princely sum of Rs250 in the 1920s by the Count de Mauny of Talvande, a Frenchman driven to Ceylon by marital and financial problems, who was so inspired that he remained to build his dream home. The villa's history is lovingly recorded by framed letters and photos. The original octagonal villa has been beautifully restored: it has five spacious suites, high wooden ceilings and cooling white terrazzo floors. Views of the ocean are magnificent from each part of the island, and there is no better way to start the day than with a swim in the sea before breakfast on the terrace. It can be a little blowy during bad weather, but it all adds to the enchanting appeal of this island retreat. Taprobane Island is an ideal venue to celebrate a special occasion, may it be a wedding or a private party – with prior notice, the management will make any special arrangements.
There are five bedrooms, four doubles and one twin room that sleep up to 10 guests. Rooms are comfortably furnished with antique four-poster Dutch period beds fitted with mosquito netting and have a spacious ensuite bathroom where you can gaze at the sky whilst taking a private shower. Two bathrooms have sunken showers, one of which is shared by two bedrooms. Rooms are cooled by the sea breeze and overhead fans. A terrace wraps round most of the villa's octagonal structure – all double rooms open out to their own private veranda with planter's chairs and magnificent Indian Ocean views. Be lulled to sleep by the gentle sounds of the sea.
Taprobane Island has extensive tropical gardens scattered with Frangipani, coconut palms, bougainvillea and heliconia, and an exquisite infinity pool spills into the sea on the west of the island. A modern kitchen and four house staff, including a cook, are there to serve you. Mainly seafood and Asian cuisine including Sri Lankan rice and curries is served here. PADI diving courses can be arranged at a nearby hotel and the scuba diving is reputed to be good during the high season (December to April). Uniformed security personnel ensure guest's privacy and safety at all times.

On December 30, seven-year-old Jazmine Barnes was killed in a brazen drive-by shooting in Houston while in her family car, driven by her mother.

On December 30, seven-year-old Jazmine Barnes was killed in a brazen drive-by shooting in Houston while in her family car, driven by her mother. Barnes's teenage sister provided the sole description of the shooter to media and police: 'He was white and had blue eyes.' In interviews, the family expressed fears that they had been targeted because of their race. The response was immediate: national media, celebrities, politicians, and activists launched a crusade to find the racist white killer.
Within days, activist Shaun King and his attorney Lee Merritt used social media to raise $100,000 as reward money for information leading to an arrest. Houston Texans star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins committed one of his paychecks to the Barnes family. Shaquille O'Neal pledged to pay for the funeral. A GoFundMe page raised over $82,000 — far surpassing its initial goal of $6,500. On Twitter, celebrities and racial justice activists tweeted about the murder using the hashtag #JusticeforJazmine and #SayHerName.
The public outcry had an impact. Over the weekend, Harris County police announced a major breakthrough in the case: two men had been arrested — one charged — on suspicion of murder. Yet neither have blue eyes, nor white skin. Both are black. Whereas the family believed they were victims of a hate crime, suspect Eric Black Jr. admitted before investigators that mistaken identity was to blame. What's more, in the wake of this surprising turn of events, those who made the loudest cries for justice became conspicuously quiet. Others maintained their outrage by resorting to a conspiratorial tone, sometimes questioning the police's sequence of events.
It's clear why the narrative around Jazmine's murder should attract so much furor. The life of a black child being taken by a racist in a post-Charleston, post-Pittsburgh America should anger us. Yet it's less clear why this furor should suddenly desist upon the revelation that the suspected killer is not white, but black. Black lives do matter — but the backlog of ignored tragedies in Houston similar to Jazmine's case suggests that attention given to black lives by some within the activist movement is more selective than it seems.
In February 2017, eight-year-old De'Maree Adkins was killed by bullets that struck her while she slept in the backseat of her mother's car. In June 2017, Messiah Marshall, a 10-month-old baby, died in his father's arms after being shot outside his family's apartment complex. The next month, 14-year-old O'Cyrus Breaux was shot and killed at his own birthday party. Within days, he was joined by 14-year-old Jaquan Neal. Then in January 2018, 16-year-old Stephen Verdell Jr. was shot and killed after leaving the Victory Prep Academy. In March, eight-year-old Tristian Hutchins became the victim of a drive by shooting while sitting in a car with his sister. She survived with a bullet injury in the leg, but Tristian died after a month-long battle at Memorial Hermann Hospital.
Though all similar to Jasmine's case and in proximity to one another, these murders garnered a different response — if there was a response at all. National media didn't provide blanket coverage. They were never mentioned by Mr King. Their names didn't trend on Twitter. Activists didn't crowdsource investigations. And their families didn't receive any donations from celebrities. Why don't these black children matter to 'racial justice' activists? Because without exception, their killers are also known or believed to be black.
Racial violence is a fact American society contends with, and over recent decades the media has made strides in responsibly reporting on cases involving historically marginalized groups. Yet, in today's share-first-read-later world of social media, this interest toward racial issues has produced a perverse incentive. It is race, not our common humanity, that now plays a central role in galvanizing outrage over tragedies. Thus with black suspects in custody and the 'white-on-black crime' aspect gone, there's nothing left to care about — leaving public interest to quickly evaporate.
It is bad enough that those with influence only stood by Jazmine as long as the racial narrative seemed true. It is worse still that this failure is perpetuated repeatedly throughout an informational ecosystem that exploits our issue-centric concerns and short attention spans. The easiness — and profitability — of manipulating our fears over racist violence has serious consequences for social tensions, particularly in a nation so bitterly divided as America in 2019.
This has been manifestly true for Jazmine's case, where discussions of the murder frequently carried a tone of racially charged aggravation. A Salon column by University of Baltimore Professor D. Watkins called for 'white America' to accept responsibility for the 'terrorist murder' that took Jazmine's life. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas) urged the public to treat the killing as a 'hate crime' before any motive was established. Meanwhile, relatives of a white man misidentified by Mr King as a possible suspect were left in fear for their lives after being threatened on Facebook: 'Someone is going to rape, torture, and murder the women and children in your family.' Although racialized reporting may be good for clicks, it has dangerous consequences for those caught by the backlash.
There is a balance to be struck between standing forthrightly by victims of racism, and proceeding cautiously when coverage can have serious social implications. It's not just the facts that are at stake, but our social fabric too.

The start of a new month is always a good time to take stock and determine what are the events or areas of interest that could generate some media coverage for you during the next 31 days.
If you already have an annual calendar of events, you may have already been working ahead to prepare for the new month. If not, begin to think not only about your own schedule of events but the kinds of things the media may be set to follow this month that you can plan for now.
Examples include the release of a new report, a conference one of your staff members may attend, a speaking engagement by your CEO or a possible tie-in to something happening in your local community. A little pre-planning can help put you in a good position to engage in the conversation or to be ready should a reporter call.
Successful public relations and media relations often flows from one's imagination. If you can imagine a possible news story, chances are it just might get covered.

Watch Lea DeLaria, Orange New Black Star, Confront Homophobic Subway Preacher
This morning, Orange Is The New Black star Lea DeLaria had some strong words for a dreaded homophobic hate-spewing subway preacher on the NYC M train.
DeLaria confronted him for sermonizing against liberals and homosexuals and informed him that he and the Tea Party are "everything that's wrong with America."
According to Gothamist:
A tipster who wishes to remain anonymous sent us the following videos, taken on a Queens-bound M train at around 9 a.m. this morning. After engaging her fellow straphangers in a rousing rendition "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" Lea DeLaria, clad in a t-shirt emblazoned with "Bad Jew," gets right up into the irritating preacher's face, calling him a "creepy religious fanatic," accusing him of lobbing a homosexual slur at her and repeatedly begging him to cease his proselytizing:
The tipster tells Gothamist:
I walked onto the F train at W4 station and they were already yelling. And when I got off two stops later at 23rd street, they were still going. A lot of people were standing around taking videos and photos and watching. I think people weren't sure whether it was real or staged. But a friend later confirmed that she has seen this same man preaching similar things on the subway before, so I'm pretty sure it was real.
Lea DeLaria also earned some congratulatory words on Twitter:
