On Outpost Duty by Georg Friedrich Kersting

Theodor Körner, Friedrich Friesen und Heinrich Hartmann auf Vorposten

Kersting painted this picture as a memorial to three friends who had fallen in the Napoleonic wars: Theodor Körner, Karl Friedrich Friesen, and Heinrich Hartmann. Kersting had also followed Körner’s lead and joined the Lützower Freikorps (volunteers) in 1813. As an unmounted marksman, “Jäger zu Fuß”, Kersting had been given weapons and money by Kügelgen and Caspar David Friedrich. Goethe had pronounced the blessing of the arms. The painting represents both Kersting’s patriotism and his grief. The three friends have taken up their position at the edge of an oak wood. They are wearing the Iron Cross medal, which was designed by Schinkel in 1813. Oak trees, their hair styles, and their red, black, and gold uniforms point towards a newly-awakened sense of being German. Silence reigns. Each member of the group seems lost in his own thoughts as though he were no longer of this world. Friesen leans against an oak tree with his rifle at the ready. As a drill instructor he fought alongside Friedrich Ludwig Jahn and became Lützow’s personal adjutant. On the left of the picture sits Hartmann, a nineteen-year-old law student from Heidelberg who had fought with Friesen and Kersting in the battle at Göhrde. Kersting was to see him die. The poet and dramatist Körner, sitting behind Hartmann, recruited volunteers for the Freikorps in Dresden. In his works, he advocated that the freedom of the fatherland should take precedence over the life of the individual.

Short By Dir: David Scott

A notably grim and graphic entry into the “fucked up family” cycle of modern rural (usually American) horror, this pivots around Simon (Alex Friesen), a teenage boy who has just passed a rite of passage on his family farm. Dad (Garth Wigle) is stoic and intimidating, Mom (Stacey Iseman) is heavily pregnant and increasingly anxious about the locked basement in which a cow and her calf are kept. Everything feels like it could explode into chaos and carnage at any moment.

3 min read NASA and UC Berkeley Host Discussion on the Future of AI at Work  David Korsmeyer, acting deputy center director, speaks at the “The Future of Skills in the AI Era” symposium, Sept. 22, 2023, at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. Korsmeyer highlighted the opportunities to utilize AI during missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond.NASA/Donald B. Richey What does the rise of artificial intelligence mean for the workers of tomorrow? What could it mean for NASA? Leaders from government, academia, and commercial industries gathered earlier this fall to learn, discuss, and collaborate at the inaugural “The Future of Skills in the AI Era” symposium at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. The one-day event was organized by Ames, UC Berkeley’s Fisher Center for Business Analytics in the Haas School of Business, and the new College of Computing, Data Science, and Society. The event sought to drive dialogue around what the future of artificial intelligence could look like across different sectors and solutions for possible challenges. David Korsmeyer, Ames’ acting deputy center director, spoke to attendees about the history of AI and autonomous technology at NASA and how the agency could use it in the future. He highlighted the ways AI could support work on Earth. “AI tools can help parse through massive amounts of data and bring trends and information to light,” said Korsmeyer, who also discussed the role AI would play in future space exploration, including pre-training spacecraft to identify potential hazards and make decisions autonomously. “When planning missions to places like Mars, a spacecraft and its crew must be ‘Earth independent’ – it can’t come back, there’s no turning around.” Vincent Vanhoucke, senior director of robotics, Google DeepMind, discusses the application of AI in robotics as part of a panel discussion alongside Alexandre Bayen, associate provost for Moffett Field program development at UC Berkeley, Jeremy Frank, group lead of planning and scheduling at NASA Ames, and Terry Fong, chief roboticist at NASA Ames.NASA/Donald B. Richey The role of AI as a tool for school and business was a key theme of the symposium. Annette Bernhardt, director of the technology and work program at the UC Berkeley Labor Center, emphasized the balance between worker privacy and the benefit of highly productive AI tools. Frederick Wehrle, associate dean for academic affairs at UC Berkeley, spoke about the future of education in the era of advancing technology innovation.  Alonso Vera, NASA Ames senior scientist for distributed collaborative systems, dug deeper into the relationship between humans and AI, and the unique roles each needs to play when doing complex work. “Artificial intelligence is not on the same path as human intelligence. They’re both superior in different ways,” said Vera. “If you don’t understand a human’s role with AI, you won’t be able to develop and improve the right AI technologies.”  AI and autonomous design are embedded in the expanding partnership between Ames and UC Berkeley. The two organizations shared efforts aim to expand learning opportunities in aerospace research and development, including programs like NASA’s Advanced Air Mobility effort, which seeks to develop capabilities for autonomous vehicles to transport cargo and passengers. This area of research is a focus of future collaborations between the two institutions following the recent announcement of plans to develop the Berkeley Space Center at Ames.  For news media: Members of the news media interested in covering this topic should reach out to the NASA Ames newsroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Open on Saturn, or Jack looking at that planet through a telescope and explaining to Micki and Johnny about a convergence of planets about to occur. Seems the last similar event was in 1972, on the same date. Jack relates an old belief that when a convergence like this occurs, the past will repeat itself. Micki says the immensity of space is scary.

Nearby, two teens are making out in a car. Penny stops Tommy, saying she is scared of the area, a legend of a headless biker. They laugh about it, Tommy promising to protect her.

Next, a tractor trailer stops and drops of an old man who hitched a ride. He passes a sign for the town of Delight.

Micki mentions shooting stars overhead. Then feels a strange wind blow. The old man also notices the wind, then sees a biker gang emerge from the mist. Their jackets identify them as the Dragon Riders. Penny and Tommy see the bike lights and he thinks they are from a rival town. Getting out, he is surprised by the Dragon Riders idling and watching. One gets off his bike, then they taunt Tommy and go through his wallet, mentioning his father and laughing. Then the gang beats up Tommy, and one breaks the window and pulls Penny out of the car. The old man calls out to them to stop. Micki and the others notice and go to help. The gang says the old man will lose and that this time, they'll finish it. They drive off. Micki and Johnny help Penny and Tommy, and the old man calls Jack by name. Jack looks at him, surprised, and calls him Dad.

Cut to credits.

Micki and Johnny tend to the kids when the cops arrive. They ask if anyone noticed anything, and the old man speaks up. The sheriff recognizes Jack's father, calling him Cawley. Cawley says it has been 17 years. The sheriff takes takes the kids back to town with him. Jack asks where his dad has been, and Cawley says its been 10 years and he lost everything in a cyclone in Madagascar and lost track of where Jack was. Jack thought the man was dead. They decide to go back to town, too.

At the police station, Penny's mother, Cynthia is upset the kids were together again, but wants to take Tommy to the clinic. And she grounds Penny and sends her home. Cawley is missing suddenly.

The biker gang is laughing about the kids and saying the town hasn't change. They apparently have come back to get The Dragon and get even with those who wronged them. One of the bikers comments on hating being dead. The other says there are only three left, the sheriff, Tommy's dad and 'the girl'. One they get them, they get what they want, and Cawley will get what he deserves, too.

Micki and Johnny take Penny home. Penny is dreading her mother's interference in her relationship with Tommy, and mentions her father died before she was born. Micki asks about the bikers, and Penny tells them about the Headless Biker. He drives the roads looking for his head.

Cynthia tells Tommy's dad how to look after him as she leaves. She also wants them to stop seeing each other. Tommy's dad, Reverend Betz, says he'll talk to him again. Cynthia says 17 years ago, someone else was beaten on that road. He calls it a coincidence, but she mentions Cawley Marshak also being back in town. Cawley is suddenly there, recognizing them both and asking where they buried "him". They want to forget about the past, but he says if they do, it will bury them all.

Micki and Johnny leave, talking about the legend. Micki is worried, Johnny says it is just an urban legend.

The bikers ride again.

Jack gives his number to the sheriff, and asks about his dad, who the sheriff knew 17 years ago when he was a deputy. The sheriff heads back to check out the crime scene, and tells Jack to take his dad with him when he leaves town.

Cawley says the gang is back for The Dragon and the only thing that'll stop them is reburying him in hallowed ground. The reverend scoffs, saying the bikers are all dead. Cawley says the truth must be known, and Cynthia and the reverend look at each other.

The sheriff checks out where Tommy was attacked, and when calls the station, he can't get through. Then the gang arrives. The sheriff is shocked to see them all alive. They say they want their leader and aren't leaving without him. The sheriff says he doesn't know where he is. One biker gets out a chain. The cop shoots and nothing happens. They throw the chain around the Sheriff's neck and all speed off, dragging him behind.

Later, Jack, Micki and Johnny talk, Jack unsure why his father would ever have been in such an inland town. They split up to investigate the town for answers.

Penny and Tommy talk on the phone about their parents reactions to them dating. Suddenly the phone goes dead. The reverend shows up and Tommy tries to question him but the man leaves.

Jack finds his dad in town, who tells Jack not to worry about him. Jack is worried though and wants answers, but Cawley just says he has something to do. Then they hearing the roar of the bikes as they come in to town, hollering. The reverend comes out, too. The bikers leave the sheriff in the road and then go to him, but he's dead. Cawley tells the Reverend to tell him because this time they won't be stopped. Betz runs off. Johnny and Micki show up.

Betz goes to Cynthia's house, telling her about the sheriff's death by the Dragon Riders. He's panicked but she tries to calm him. The lights go out and Penny asks what's going on. The reverend tells Cynthia to take Penny and leave, then takes off.

Power is out all over. Micki lights a lantern where her, Jack, Johnny and Cawley are, trying to figure out what is going on. Johnny thinks the gang is trying to cut them off, since the phone lines are dead. Micki wonders why the gang is here, now. Cawley tells them about 17 years ago. He was passing through the town. The Dragon Riders came upon a young couple together on a deserted road. They roughed the couple up and the sheriff arrested their leader, a big man known as The Dragon. He was put in jail in the hopes the rest of the gang would leave. The gang said if anything happened to him, they'd be back. The boy they roughed up was only bruised, but the girl said she was raped. The sheriff went after the gang, who claimed innocence. He still tried to arrest them, but they killed him as they did the current sheriff. Phones and lights went, and the gang headed back to town, but the then-deputy and others were ready, and shot and killed the entire gang. The Dragon tried to flee in the confusion, but Cawley grabbed an axe and beheaded him as he drove by. An act he regrets. When it was done, he found out the girl had lied about the rape, to save her and her boyfriend's reputations. Seems he was off to bible college. The boy and girl were Cynthia and Reverend Betz. The town burned the bodies, except for The Dragon, who was buried. The deputy ran Cawley out of town. They killed the gang for what they seemed to be, and not for what they really were.

The reverend sees who he thinks is Cawley go in to the church and follows, but it is the gang inside with their bikes. They hold him up. They want The Dragon but he says he doesn't know and worries what people will think. The biker says they'll give him the same chance he gave The Dragon and they lower him down. He rushes out as they laugh. He runs, screaming for help as the bikes burst from the church and chase him. He falls down as the gang surrounds him. He kneels and begins to pray as Tommy comes out, hearing all the noise. The biker speeds by and hits the reverend, who collapses. Tommy rushes to his father, as the gang drives away. Jack and his dad hear all this, and Jack goes to them. Cawley asks for help from no one, saying he doesn't know how to do this.

As the planets align further, Micki comforts Tommy, as they all gather in the church. Jack asks why now, and Cawley says everything is the same, the dates, the planets, him. Cawley walks away. The group, with Tommy, wonder what to do. Cawley says they have to find and rebury The Dragon on consecrated ground, because if he's at peace, the gang will be too. But they have to do it before the last planet aligns before sunrise, and the attack will end. If not, The Dragon will return, with his gang and all will be alive again. Cawley says all involved are dead now except for Cynthia. Jack corrects him, saying he is alive, too. Cawley just says only The Dragon has a score to settle with him. They head off, Jack telling Micki and Johnny to find shovels.

The gang laughs about killing Betz. The bikers want to kill Cynthia. But one of them is worried about the old man Cawley, saying the 'rules' state he has until sunrise. The other wants to kill Cynthia so they don't have to follow rules anymore.

A knock at her door makes Cynthia arm herself and tell Penny to go to the basement. The person outside says it's Tommy. She doesn't want to open the door, but he tells her the gang killed his father. She unlocks the door. Tommy goes to find Penny, as Cawley asks where The Dragon's body is. Penny comes upstairs, her mother is upset. Cawley says she is her daughter's only hope. They need to make things right. He says she accused them falsely. She says it was them or her, but Jack scoffs at letting six men die to keep some secret. She says they got what was coming to them. Penny wants her mother to tell the truth. Cynthia says the town would have destroyed her the truth came out. Cawley pushes, but she says she'll only say where The Dragon's body is. He wants all the truth, but she says where the body is, the slips and mentions Reverend Betz. Penny puts it together, realizing that he was her father, too, making her and Tommy half-siblings. Cynthia is unable to explain.

Jack asks where the field is and Tommy tells him. Cawley tells Cynthia to come with them for safety. She looks at Penny and walks to her room to get her coat, but is caught by the bikers hiding there. They hold her and go back through the house, stopping both Tommy and Jack from helping her. They throw Jack down. Cawley asks them to stop, but they take Cynthia and attempt to leave. Johnny tackles the guy on the bike with Cynthia and tells her to run. The guy slugs Johnny, the bikers rev up and Cynthia, looking at Penny, walks in to the road to sacrifice herself. They bikers hit her and she falls.

The planets near perfect alignment. Penny begs her mother not to die. Cawley says while she still lives they still have a chance. Micki says they have to hurry. Jack, Johnny and Micki go to find The Dragon, Jack telling his father to stay behind.

The gang is driving around, awaiting the return of The Dragon and realizing Cynthia must still be alive. They head back to town.

Jack and Micki find where they think the body is buried and head to dig it up. At the cemetery, Johnny goes to find a spot to dig a new grave.

As Micki and Jack dig, they hear the gang head back to town.

Penny tells her mother she loves her, as the woman apparently dies.

Micki and Jack suddenly feel the earth shake and the ground opens up. Jack realizes Cynthia must have died, as the biker drives out of the ground, on his motorcycle. He stops, puts his head back on his neck and roars.

Tommy, Penny and Cawley hear the roar and the old man tells them to stay put.

The gang is driving and are thrilled to hear their leader has returned.

Micki and Jack dive out of the way as The Drago speeds towards them. They hide in Tommy's car still left behind. Jack hotwires it and speeds off as The Dragon chases them, attacking the car. Jack suddenly swerves, The Dragon hits them and flies off his bike. Jack and Micki speed off.

Johnny is still digging as Micki and Jack arrive at the cemetery. Cawley also shows up, followed by Penny and Tommy. Then The Dragon appears on the hill, roaring again, and the gang drives up. Tommy and Penny run as the gang surrounds them.

Jack tells his father to come with them into the cemetery, but he says he hasn't earned the right. Then he tells his son he was buried at sea, ten years ago. Jack is shocked. Cawley says he died with the death of The Dragon on his soul, and that this planetary alignment gave him a chance of redemption. He thanks his son for helping him, and tells him to get The Dragon into the grave. He tells Jack to go, then faces The Dragon, who drives at him to kill him. But the rider goes past Cawley, who vanishes, and speeds into the cemetery, Micki and Johnny diving out of the way. Johnny grabs a shovel and knocks The Dragon off his bike and into the grave, shoveling dirt on top of him as Micki throws handfuls of dirt, as well. The gang is about to run over the teenagers, when they suddenly all vanish. Jack calls to his dad, who is gone, as Micki and Johnny come up to comfort him.

As the last planet aligns, Micki asks how Jack is. He doesn't know, wondering how he grieves for someone who died a decade ago. Johnny says that at least now, he knows. Jack wonders what is happening to his father now. Micki says Cawley did the best he could, and Johnny points out a shooting star, saying they are heaven's fireworks and that the old man made it. Jack doesn't know what to believe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My thoughts:

Well, that is one jam-packed episode! Even when our trio is out just having a good time, they get involved in such crazy stuff.

Wonder if there was a supernatural pull putting Jack in the same place as his dad after all this time? Seems pretty coincidental, if not.

Also kind of a random place for Cawley to have been in, 17 years prior, as Jack points out, since he was a man of the sea. Why not then just set town by the seaside?

Cynthia and the reverend were quite horrible people as both teens and adults. I get making a horrible mistake as a teen that got out of hand so fast, but then they both stayed in the same town? And they were worried about the future reverend's reputation, but he apparently had a second child, Tommy, in no time? Did neither of them think moving might be the better option, ESPECIALLY when Tommy and Penny started dating? What the hell? For all they knew, Tommy and Penny had already slept together! Yuk.

I liked Jack's dad wanting to right such a horrible wrong, even in the afterlife. Shows that the good part of Jack isn't from nowhere, even if his dad wasn't a traditional dad.

I also liked the twist on the Headless Horseman story via a biker gang. But can't say this gang was totally wrong in want vengeance for such horrible deaths at the hands of a couple of jerk kids and a hair-trigger town.

Good episode, but could have used a little more fine tuning in the story, I think.

Next week: Repetition

台風接近中の今日のおはジャズは「Amber Skies」David Friesen '83

リーダーのフリーゼンはエレクトリック・アップライトベース奏者。そして、チック、ジョーヘン、モチアン、モレイラなどのトップ・プレイヤー達が集結。ずっと欲しかったアルバムです。

アルバムの作りはECMの影響を感じさせますが、やはりアメリカの匂いがしますね。なんていうか、牧歌的になろうとしてるけど、どこか大地にしっかり脚が付いてる感じ。北欧の冷たい風に乗って漂う…って感じではないです。

ブレッカーやアースキンがやりそうな仕事をこなしている、ジョーヘンやモチアンの意外とも思える程の対応力にまず驚きますが、ジャズが衰退期に入った後、セッション・マンとして生き残って来た二人ですから、当然の実力とも言えます。めちゃくちゃカッコいい！そして、チックはこういったオリジナル・セッション的なものの方が僕の好みです。「ペンタトニックでいっちょ攻めたるか！」って縛り（笑）が無く、自由な感じで。フルートのホーンもとても勉強になります。

エグゼクティブ・プロデューサーのDr.ハーブ・ウォンはゲッツの「Voyage」を自費でプロデュースした学者さんです。いつの時代もこういうジャズ好きに支えられて来たんですね。

hmvオンラインで購入したのですが、こういうジャズはフュージョン系に分類される様で、フュージョン系の中古はだいたい3〜500円で買えます。3枚同時購入で割引されるので、こういうコンテンポラリー系を中に忍ばせておくととてもお買い得です笑。送料もなんと200円ちょい。

Huevember day 8, David Friesen: Early Morning Rises, Inner Voices album

(Image description)

Honestly this is one of the few songs that actually looks exactly like the title suggests. Composing the drawing of it carefully definitely helps portray that morning rising image. Rather than starting from the upper left and moving towards the lower right as I’ve done in some other songs, I had to start this drawing in the center as the opening of the song is a long synth chord crescendo, soft and gradual like a sunrise. Here it looks like a circle of radiating light, brightest in the center and fading outwards. Below it is a layered stream of more light, some of it wavering as the song continues to have this background theme of rising sound. The quiet repeating drum rhythm looks like out of focus raindrops or clouds with small lines scattered throughout. The bass guitar has a soft almost echoey sound to it as it plucks out bouncing descending lines, like tiny waterfalls framing the image. The quicker and more melodic lines are like fluttering birds overhead.

David Friesen is one of the music artists I used to have on a special "for sleep" playlist because my insomnia was so awful when I was younger. Not that it’s much better now but the MP3 player I had just for music and nothing but music got irreparably damaged in a car wreck some years ago now. My iPad and phone and laptop just aren’t as convenient for playing music while I sleep. Still, I do love this music, all the songs on this album have that "rays of soft light" thing going on and it’s real nice. (Hm maybe all that instrumental music helped me sleep because the synesthesia gave my brain the needed activity and prevented me from getting too restless to sleep)
