That song once referred to U.S. soldiers sent overseas during World War I, but the sentiment works for anyone who has ever left a family farm and seen a bit of the world — like so many escapees ...
PUNK ROCKERS FOR THE EIGHTH AIR FORCE: Punk rock versus Red fascists:
Czech (sic) out the lyrics in this wry tune which include this line:
“Red tanks in the alleys of Prague…”

As technology advances we see a reshaping of industries and our lives, it is creating a new set of rules that will change our very existence. Professor Vivek Wadhwa from Carnegie Mellon University has considered 6 of them:
1.
Anything that can be digitized will be.
2.
Your job has a significant chance of being
eliminated.
3.
Life will be so affordable that survival won’t
necessitate having a job.
4.
Your fate and destiny will be in your own hands
as never before.
5.
Abundance will become a far bigger problem than
poverty.
6.
Distinction between man and machine will become
increasingly unclear.
Historians are gossips who tease the dead.
~Voltaire, Scribbling Books

Meades’ argument is delivered via notes and digressions dotted through the text, and I confess the distinction between ‘improving’ (permitted) and ‘creating’ (not) was a bit unclear to me until I came to the recipe for Fig and Ham Tart, which contains these instructions: ‘Leave to cool. Taste. Chuck in bin.’ Meades includes the inedible tart as a warning. It is a dish he tried to invent, ignoring his own prescription ‘Never create when you can steal’. Otherwise you can end up with Aubrey’s restaurant menu from Mike Leigh’s Life is Sweet: ‘Black pudding and camembert soup, Saveloy on a Bed of Lychees, Liver in Lager, Pork Cyst, King Prawn (just one) in Jam Sauce’ etc.
Study: Twenty Percent Of Readers Still Hear An Author’s Voice After They’ve Finished A Book
The voices of some of literature’s more memorable characters have a way of staying with you, long after their stories are over. Many readers — every reader? — could’ve told you that. For some people, though, this idea is a little more literal. According to a new (and truly delightful) psychology study — published in the March edition of the journal Cognition and Consciousness —about a fifth of readers “hear” the voices of fictional characters in their heads, long after they’ve closed the books.
