Fort Bragg City Council Hears Annual Reports on Crime Statistics, Homeless Programs, and Stray Animals The April 14th City Council meeting was lightly attended. It's not clear if an error on the agenda itself was partially to blame. The Zoom meeting link was missing the passcode, making remote participation impossible, although streaming was available. Emails to the city clerk were responded to with the correct link. Two annual reports, one from the Fort Bragg Police Department and one from the Mendocino Coast Humane Society, provided insights into crime rates and the number of stray animals.Chief Cervenka provided crime statistics for 2024. The police responded to over 15000 calls, which resulted in 1166 reports, 514 arrests, and 315 traffic citations. They seized 8.75 pounds of illegal drugs and 26 firearms. There were 106 vehicle collisions, of which 8 were due to DUIs. In general, crime decreased locally except for domestic violence, which increased by 53%. Chief Cervenka said the increase was due to better training of his officers, who are making more arrests, and the victims' access to post-pandemic assistance.Chief Cervenka also provided an update on the extreme weather shelter for this past winter. The extreme weather shelter is run by the police department through their Crisis Response Unit (CRU) program, which facilitates helping houseless individuals off the street and into housing. The extreme weather shelter operates from November 15th to March 31st and is opened based on precipitation and temperature as predicted by the National Weather Service. The shelter operated 83 out of the possible 136 operational days, provided beds 644 times for 107 individuals. The emergency shelter handles overflow from the hospitality house, which maintains 25 beds. Although there was an increased need for beds this past winter, there was a 15% drop in individuals needing help. Cervenka attributed that to the police department's homeless housing program, or CRU. Judy Martin, the Executive Director for the Mendocino Coast Humane Society provided an annual report on the animals in their care. They currently have 97 animals, of which 44 are available for adoption. In 2024, they took in 631 animals and adopted out 504. According to Martin, the coast shelter takes in animals from Leggett to Gualala, provides basic veterinary care to low-income families, and works with Fort Bragg police on impounds.The City of Fort Bragg provides the Humane Society with $60,000 in funds and leases property to them for the shelter. The Humane Society is primarily funded by sales at the Arc Thrift Store, donations, and grants. The City declared May 1st through 7th as Rhododendron week to recognize the many hybrids developed in Fort Bragg. The 46th annual John Druecker Memorial Rhododendron Show is scheduled for May 3rd and 4th. It is held adjacent to the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens and is open to the public. Admission to the Rhododendron show is free.Under consent, the council approved updates to the purchasing, bidding, and signatory requirements, affording City Manager Isaac Whippy the authority to sign off on purchases of up to $60,000. All contracts over $5000 require a minimum of three bids. Contracts over $60,000 require council approval. The council also adopted changes to the municipal code, reducing parking and altering parking lot landscaping requirements for multi-family housing developments, and approved a four-year lease with Toshiba for printers and copiers. Earlier on the meeting agenda, the council honored Jason Balassi for his thirty years of service in the public works department, received a presentation from the Fort Bragg Library, and honored volunteers during National Volunteer Week, which is April 20 – 26 this year.Under, items from the council, Councilmember Lindy Peters provided a report on the FBFD financials. According to Peters, the Fort Bragg Fire Department is in good shape financially. It currently has approximately $954,000 in the bank and expects additional funding from Mendocino County soon. Lindy thanked the staff and many volunteers who keep the fire department operational.
Specialavsnitt: Riksbanken sänkte idag räntan med 0,25 procentenheter. Räcker det för att få fart på Sveriges ekonomi? Starta pressarna gästas återigen av Andreas Cervenka, Aftonbladets ekonomikommentator.
Vi kan ha en bostadsbubbla framför oss – och även om vi inte har det så skapar den nuvarande bostadsmarknaden enorma problem på andra områden: Segregation, ökade klyftor i samhället mellan vinnare och förlorare. Och inte ens vinnarna kan känna sig som vinnare för deras barn kan inte heller komma in på bostadsmarknaden. Möt Andreas Cervenka, journalist och författare bakom den nyutkomna boken Fuskbygget. Anna Bellman programleder och Viktor Mandel kommenterar – och han är inte lika imponerad av Cervenka och boken som vissa recensenter har varit.
Sverige är det land i världen där priset på bostäder har ökat mest i förhållande till inkomsterna. Priset för en genomsnittlig lägenhet på 50 kvadrat i Stockholm har ökat från 2,5 årslöner 1999 till 12 årslöner idag. Att komma in på bostadsmarknaden är numera en avlägsen dröm för den som inte har rika föräldrar. Hur gick bostäder från att en gång i tiden vara en mänsklig rättighet till att bli en pengamaskin för storbankerna? Och vad gör det med vårt samhälle? Starta pressarna möter Andreas Cervenka, aktuell med boken ”Fuskbygget”.

Vertical Aerospace is one of the world's leading advanced air mobility developers, at least when it comes to its order book.Some 1,500 units of its VX4 eVTOL aircraft have already been pre-ordered (including a 500 aircraft order from Avolon, which the lessor then managed to place in a matter of months with a handful of airlines), but before that, Vertical Aerospace will have to complete a thorough a comprehensive testing and certification process.And no one better placed to talk precisely about this than our guest on this episode: Michael Cervenka, Chief Technology Officer at Vertical Aerospace.Michael is an industry veteran, who, prior to joining Vertical Aerospace, worked for quite a few years at that other flagship of British aerospace industry, Rolls-Royce. We recorded this conversation as Vertical Aerospace was preparing for a key step in its development process: its first piloted untethered flight. So, we talked with Michael in full detail about this ongoing testing programme, its current status and the challenges that lie ahead.And, then, of course, we discussed in detail other aspects of Vertical Aerospace's plans , such as its value proposition, its industrial plan, which, unlike other eVTOL developers, involves a whole ecosystem of partners working together. There was also time to discuss financial and commercial aspects of the project and even some little known aspects of the project, such as the main differences between an eVTOL and a helicopter or why prototypes are painted white.So, tune in for an in-depth conversation about one of the most fascinating eVTOL projects in the world right now!

September 11, 2023 -- How much will Fort Bragg's innovative Care Response Unit save the county's general fund? Supervisors Ted Williams and Dan Gjerde brought Fort Bragg Police Chief Neil Cervenka to the Board of Supervisors Meeting on September 12 to provide an overview of the innovative homeless response program initiated by the city and managed through the police department. The program known as “CRU” or Care Response Unit utilizes a non-enforcement type of interaction to help the homeless get what they need and hopefully get them off the street. The CRU team has served 321 individuals and successfully reconnected 22 homeless individuals with family or friends, persuaded 18 into rehab programs and moved 7 into permanent housing. The program which was initiated by Mayor Norvell got its start with grant funding from the State of California's Behavioral Health Justice Intervention Services Project. Funding for the program through grant and city funds will only last through mid-2024. Cervenka asked the BOS to fund the program for four years at a cost of 1.72 million using Measure B dollars. Measure B is tax money that was designed to fund the construction of psychiatric and behavioral health facilities, operation costs, and services to treat mental illness and addiction.So how does the program save the money in the county's general fund? According to Chief Cervenka it costs a minimum of $107 dollars per day to incarcerate an individual in the county jail and goes up based on health and psychiatric needs. Since the CRU program's implementation there has been a sea change in how the Fort Bragg Police Department deals with the homeless and spends its officer hours. There has been an overall 27 percent decrease in calls for service involving homeless from the 21/22 fiscal year to the current fiscal year. The most dramatic being 242 calls in December of 2021 versus 58 in December of 2022. There has been a 20% decrease in arrests of homeless and an increase in overall arrests.The program also includes contract staffing for Project Right Now, which helps youth with substance abuse disorders fight addiction. The Board of Supervisors directed staff to determine if current funding for homeless services, that is not as effective, can be redirected to CRU and agreed to send Cervenka's request to the Measure B Committee for consideration. Williams also asked staff to determine how much money the CRU program has saved the county, presumably, due to reduced jail expenses.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.28.550915v1?rss=1 Authors: Kravec, M., Sedo, O., Nedvedova, J., Micka, M., Sulcova, M., Gomoryova, K., Potesil, D., Ganji, R. S., Cervenka, I., Zdrahal, Z., Harnos, J., Tripsianes, K., Janke, C., Barinka, C., Bryja, V. Abstract: Polyglutamylation is a reversible post-translational modification that is catalyzed by enzymes from the tubulin tyrosine ligase-like (TTLL) family. Here, we found that TTLL11 generates a previously unknown type of polyglutamylation initiated by the addition of a glutamate residue to the free C-terminal carboxyl group of a substrate protein. TTLL11 efficiently polyglutamylates the Wnt signaling protein Disheveled 3 (DVL3), thereby changing the interactome of DVL3, as well as increases its capacity to get phosphorylated, to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and to act in the non-canonical Wnt pathway. Both carboxyterminal polyglutamylation and the resulting reduction in LLPS capacity of DVL3 were reverted by the deglutamylating enzyme CCP6, which demonstrates the causal relationship between TTLL11-mediated polyglutamylation and LLPS. We thus discovered a novel type of posttranslational modification, which significantly broadens the range of proteins that can be modified by polyglutamylation and provide first evidence that polyglutamylation can act as a regulator of protein LLPS.

At a special meeting over the holiday weekend, the Fort Bragg City Council agreed to use $25,000 from a city fund to continue the emergency winter shelter program at the Motel 6. Weeks of heavy rain have led to more than a ten-fold increase in room rentals for homeless people each month since November. And a pair of bald eagles in Potter Valley have gotten another reprieve, with the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians calling for government-to-government consultations and Congressman Jared Huffman blasting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for granting a permit to remove the nest without engaging the tribe. At Monday's brief meeting of the Fort Bragg City Council, Police Chief Neil Cervenka reported that the city has spent all $36,000 the county has given the city to rent rooms for homeless people during inclement weather or on nights that extreme cold is expected. The city rented 11 rooms in November for 14 people. That number shot up to 130 rentals for 62 people in December, 12 of them children and nine of them elderly. The city has already paid for 101 rentals in January of this year for 65 people, 11 of them children and eight of them elderly. Cervenka reported that he's negotiated $50 off the nightly price of the rooms and that the city has found other solutions for homeless people who are not from the Fort Bragg area. Eight people who used the voucher program for one night last month were not from the coast, and four people this month were from elsewhere. Of those four out-of-towners, he said, three were reunited with family members in other parts of the state and other states. “And then the big win in November was, seven of the 62 unique individuals who were non-coastal were placed in Hospitality House,” Cervenka reported. “While we are getting some dry weather, the clear skies mean cold nights. So we are expecting more. Right now, we have used all $36,000 of the original grant amount, and we have no more funding in the extreme weather shelter. Long range forecasting, which is very imprecise, shows several more weeks of rain coming up, which is very good for our aquifers…but it's not good for those folks who don't have shelter. I re-negotiated the rate of the room last week to $99.99 plus tax per night,” which is the weekend rate. In addition to voting unanimously to approve the use of the $25,000 from the city's fund, the council expects an item on next week's Board of Supervisors agenda discussing a match from the county. Fort Bragg City Manager Peggy Ducey said she expects to be reimbursed from the state Office of Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, once disaster declarations for the current emergency have been determined. The City Council agreed to fold the reimbursement monies back into the fund for housing the homeless. The city's emergency winter shelter program ends on April 30. *** And in Potter Valley, a Ponderosa pine tree containing a decades-old bald eagles' nest has been spared for another year. Earlier this month, U.S Fish & Wildlife granted PG&E a permit to remove the nest, giving the utility until February first, two weeks after the official start of the breeding season. But yesterday, U.S Fish & Wildlife wrote in an email that as of January 13, that permit is invalid, “and they are not presently authorized to remove the nest.” An agency spokesperson elaborated that, “The bald eagle pair is currently visiting and refurbishing the nest and the breeding season has begun. As such, the nest meets the definition of an ‘in-use' and active nest, thus the permit is no longer valid.” We documented one of the eagles landing on the tree near the nest on January 9. On January 11, after a brief confrontation between activists and a PG&E tree-cutting crew, Michael Hunter, the Chairman of the nearby Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians, wrote to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, requesting government-to-government consultation with the agency. “We understand that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has already issued the permit prior to initiating consultation and that there was a brief opportunity for “public comment” under the National Environmental Policy Act,” he wrote. However, “The Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians is a sovereign nation with a government-to government relationship with the United States and that relationship requires more substantial consultation than is awarded to “the public” under the National Environmental Policy Act. We also believe that agency duties and obligations under the National Historic Preservation Act are implicated and unfulfilled as well.” Congressman Jared Huffman agreed, saying he finds it “unacceptable” if the agency granted the permit without tribal consultation, and that he “share(s) the concern that a federal agency would not know better.” He blasted the agency, revealing that he has “had deep concerns about Fish and Wildlife's ability to fulfill its mission with integrity for a number of years…If this was a permit U.S. Fish and Wildlife had to grant; if the law, facts and science compelled them,” he insisted; “They should have included tribal consultation. But they dropped the ball.” He said he wrote a letter to USFWS on January 16, expressing his concerns. Peter Galvin, with the Center for Biological Diversity, is hoping for a long-term solution. The bald eagle breeding season ends in August, at which time PG&E could apply for another permit to take down the tree, arguing that it is threatening the line again. Currently, PG&E is providing generators and diesel fuel to residents on the property, leading to damage on the steep, unpaved driveway. Galvin said he is working hard to convince PG&E to underground the few hundred feet of line from the road to the homes on the property, and has offered his organization's help in fundraising to help pay for the effort. Huffman said he would try to help too, though he can't guarantee that there is a federal funding source for the project. But in his view, “PG&E ought to be able to solve this. It's not an overwhelmingly complex challenge.”

July 26, 2022 — The Fort Bragg City Council swore in a new chief of police and hired another retired public employee as an interim city manager Monday night. Last month, the council bid farewell to Interim Police Chief John Naulty and Interim City Manager David Spaur, who were both serving for a limited time due to their retirements from public service. Last night, Neil Cervenka, formerly of Turlock, took his oath of office as the new chief. Cervenka thanked family and friends and pledged his loyalty to his new community, saying, “I commit to concern for this community and all the issues that affect it. I commit to compassion for all segments of this community regardless of status. And I commit to courage, to do the right thing, no matter if it's difficult.” In another key position, Peggy Ducey can put in 960 hours a year as Interim City Manager, in keeping with the rules of the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS). She will receive no benefits or any other form of compensation outside of an hourly rate of $76.30, starting July 26. And the council adopted a resolution to declare a Stage 1 water alert, asking for a citywide water conservation goal of 5% to 10% and prohibiting wasteful water use. Water customers are only supposed to irrigate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays before 9am and after 6pm, and restaurants will only serve water upon request. Operations Manager John Smith told the council that water in the Noyo River, one of the city's three water sources, is diminishing. “The Noyo River is currently at 6 cubic feet per second,” he told the council on Monday. “It was 6.75 when I wrote this, which is still 4.3 million gallons a day, which sounds like a lot, but it's dropping about 1.5 cubic feet per week.” Smith added that the city's small desalination plant is ready to go as a last resort, and promised to keep working on the city goal of storing 60 million gallons, an estimated four months' supply. And officials are preparing for the next election, just a month after publishing results from the last election. City Clerk June Lemos told the council that the deadline to return nomination papers to run for Fort Bragg City Council has been extended to August 17, because Vice-Mayor Jessica Morsell-Haye is not seeking re-election. Council member Lindy Peters' papers have been certified, and he is qualified to be on the November ballot. The Council heard a number of reports, among them a draft of a feasibility study to diversify the local economy by developing the former Georgia Pacific Mill site. As its tourism-based economy crashed during COVID, the city received $137,000 in CARES Act money from the U.S. Economic Development Agency, plus a $10,000 California Sea Grant for the Blue Economy Symposium to develop new ideas to create sustainable jobs and industries. However, as Morsell-Haye pointed out, the former Georgia-Pacific mill site is not public property. “This study was initiated at a time when we were in negotiations for that property,” she said. “We're talking about uses on property that we do not control.” Last year, Mendocino Railway, or the Skunk Train, won an eminent domain case against Georgia Pacific and purchased 272 acres of the mill site property according to the terms of a stipulation for $1,230,000. Though the Skunk Train does not engage in interstate commerce, its lawyers claim that its status as a railroad means that it is subject to federal jurisdiction, which exempts it from local and state permitting regulations. In 2019, the company declared that it would not be seeking permits from the city of Fort Bragg to do work on the property, but that it was happy to make a donation to the city equal to the cost of a building permit. The City sued the Skunk, asking a local judge to declare that the railway is not a public utility, and to command it to comply with all city ordinances. The First District Court of Appeals briefly placed a stay on the case after Mendocino County Superior Court Judge Clay Brennan declined to throw it out, but the stay was dissolved after about five weeks. The City and the Skunk are scheduled to be back in court for a case management conference in September. On Monday night, Chris Hart, of Mendocino Railway, called in to the City Council meeting to complain that his company made only a brief appearance in a document concerning land it owns. “I do feel that Mendocino Railway's perspective could have been more incorporated,” he said. “It is concerning that even though we are a local company that owns much of the land and is trying to invest millions, we're not considered a stakeholder or an asset. Instead we're shown as an obstacle. The study states that we interfered with the City's verbal agreement with GP when we used eminent domain in the summer of 2021. It makes no mention of the City's interference five months earlier.” Last year, the City Council wrote a letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation, urging it not to award a railroad rehabilitation and improvement financing loan to Mendocino Railway. Skunk Train lawyers sent the City a cease and desist letter, threatening to sue for defamation. In another update, the council also heard from Parents and Friends Incorporated, a non-profit organization that is building a four-bedroom residential care facility on Cypress Street for people with developmental disabilities or age-related disabilities like Alzheimers or dementia. The organization received a $3.6 million Community Development Block Grant for the project, which started construction in April of this year. The deadline is May 31 of next year, and they expect to be finished in February. The Council also heard a report from consultant Marie Jones about the Eagles Hall, a well-loved venue that is currently in escrow with an unknown potential buyer. Council member Tess Albin Smith was concerned that the building could be “razed to the ground,” but Jones told her that it would probably be expensive to tear down, and it's a historical landmark, which means the city's planning department and council would have to sign off on a demolition. There is enough parking for four living units, but, like so much else about the status of the property, nothing is known about the plans for its future.
July 1, 2022 — Fort Bragg bid farewell to Police Chief John Naulty and Interim City Manager David Spaur this week. At Monday's City Council meeting, the Council also passed the 22/23 budget, with the assurance that it can be amended as labor negotiations proceed. The city labor union, SEIU Local 1021, is advocating for a 5% COLA, or cost of living increase, but the city has budgeted 3%. Union leaders also argued that the compensation and comparison study was not realistic, as Fort Bragg was compared to Lakeport, where the cost of living is much lower. Naulty and Spaur came out of retirement to serve as heads of the police force and the city. As public servants, they receive CalPers benefits, which would be reduced if they worked more than 960 hours after retirement. But while the city is facing what could be a lengthy recruitment for a new city manager, a new police chief is expected to start work later this month, on July 25. According to a city press release, Neil Cervenka is a veteran of the Air Force and the Turlock Police Department. He also serves as Treasurer on the Executive Board of Directors for the California Peace Officers Association. Cervenka's salary and benefits will be $110k a year. Council members credited Naulty with improving the culture at the police department and highlighted the grim day when he traded gunfire with the man who killed Sheriff's Deputy Ricki Del Fiorentino in 2014. Naulty said he expects the new chief to improve the department further, by focusing on training and technology. “It's just going to flourish even more,” he promised. “We're fortunate in Mendocino County to be fully staffed, one of the few departments. I mean, some don't even have a chief anymore, and some people barely have enough officers to cover all the shifts, but we're one of the fortunate few. It's thanks to you guys for listening to me, and the investments that you've placed into these people, so you guys deserve a lot of credit.” The new fiscal year starts July 1, and the council approved a $38.1 million budget. That's a $740k decrease from last year, mostly because of upgrades to the wastewater treatment facility and the water meter replacement project. However, the budget for salaries and wages increased by $744k to include packages for high-paying positions like police chief and city manager, as well as two social services workers and an engineering technician. Public Works consumes about 12% of the budget, coming in third after General Government at 19% and police, at 35%. Assistant Director of Finance Isaac Whippy told the council the city has a surplus of $175k, with a projected $3.4 million general fund balance for the upcoming fiscal year. But he warned that a widely predicted recession could knock out the city's strong ToT (transient occupancy tax, or bed tax paid to lodging establishments) and sales tax revenue. “We could see a decline in our tax revenue, particularly our sales tax revenue, by 10-15%,” he predicted. “And similarly for ToT taxes. So if a recession were to happen in 23/24, we would see a decline in fund balance by $510k, and then in 24/25 there would be a slow recovery from that recession.” The approved budget includes the 3% COLA increase for most city workers, but Assistant City Manager Sarah McCormick's salary is going up by about $5k. Outgoing Interim City Manager David Spaur summarized the budget implication. “The proposed change in this item, 5G, authorizes an annual salary for the position of Assistant City Manager up to the amount of $120,972.80,” he said. “There will be some salary savings from not having a City Manager for a period of time, as this week will be my last week.” John Ford, of Humboldt County, had accepted the city manager position, but asked to be released from his contract earlier this month, citing family reasons. In a brief interview, Council Member Lindy Peters explained that Spaur had served Fort Bragg at $76 an hour for the 960 hours allowed by CalPers. Peters said now the city is facing a choice. The city can look for another manager through a recruiting agency, which could leave the Council trying to hire someone right after the election, when there might be brand-new Council members. He said the city could also mount its own recruitment efforts, or work its connections through the League of California Cities to try and find another retired city manager who could give Fort Bragg another 960 hours. Meanwhile, city workers lined up during public comment to petition for a higher COLA. Merle Larsen said his reduced earnings as inflation climbs would have an impact on the city's finances as a whole. “What you're doing, is everywhere that I shop downtown, they're not gonna get the money,” he vowed. “You're not penalizing me. I'm gonna go online. I'm gonna go over the hill. I'm going wherever it's cheaper to buy something. So you know what that means here? Less tax dollars. Less for you, when you make that decision.” Vice Mayor Jessica Morsell-Haye said approving the budget was awkward while the city is in negotiations with the union, but Spaur and Whippy assured the Council that they could adopt the budget and retroactively award workers a higher COLA if that is the final result of negotiations. In a final fiscal decision, the Council voted unanimously to approve a resolution granting a three-year waiver of water and wastewater capacity fees for restaurants, cafes, and food service businesses in the Central Business District. According to a staff report, the fees can be as high as $50,000 for a restaurant moving into a location that has not been used for that purpose before. Staff analysis calculated that the fiscal impact for waiving the fees could add up to more than $120,000 over the three years, but that it could be balanced out by sales taxes from the new businesses, with ongoing positive revenue. The City already allows businesses to request a waiver, but in order for it to be granted, it must pass the test of being a public benefit. Council Member Tess Albin-Smith asked that that proviso be spelled out in an upcoming resolution waiving the capacity fees for the rest of the city. Morsell-Haye summed up the feeling on the council, saying, “For years, we've talked about how to be business friendly, and I think right here, we're actually accomplishing it for once. So thank you.”

Programledare: David Druid, Kodjo Akolor och Linnea Wikblad
Andreas Cervenka är ekonomikommentator för Aftonbladet och har precis gett ut boken "Girig-Sverige" där han driver tesen att Sverige gått från att vara högskatteland till miljardärparadis. Andreas menar att vi omfördelat tillgångar från gruppen som tjänar pengar på att jobba, till gruppen som tjänar pengar på att äga saker. Vi pratar med Cervenka om "det giriga Sverige" och att ökade klyftor är dåligt för de rika, enligt honom. Vi pratar inflation! "Plusränta"! Förmögenhetsskatt! Arvsskatt! Programledare: David Druid, Kodjo Akolor och Linnea Wikblad
I sin nya bok Girig-Sverige skriver ekonomijournalisten Andreas Cervenka om den ökande ojämlikheten i Sverige och hur de rikaste dragit ifrån och lämnat lönearbetare långt bakom. Hur blev Sverige ett skatteparadis för kapital? Och varför agerar Riksbanken som den gör när den håller marknaden och Sveriges rikaste företag under armarna? Facken är delvis överkörda eftersom de fokuserat mer på löneutveckling än kapitalskatter och Riksbankspolitik, menar Cervenka. Vi bör fråga oss: Vad ska vi ha Sverige till?, menar han och är också kritisk till hur myndigheter och regioner börjat agera allt mer som vinstdrivande bolag.
Varje vecka väljer någon av Kulturredaktionens medarbetare ett ord i tiden. Katarina Wikars har valt ordet inflation Inflation betyder att priserna stiger i allmänhet, så att du kan köpa färre varor och tjänster för samma mängd pengar.Vem är det som pratar med oss i du-form? Det är ju statistikbyrån. På tevenyheterna flimrar tomaterna förbi i mataffären, de har blivit väldigt mycket dyrare. Nästan 30%. Och kaffet. Och för att inte tala om bensinen. 4,6% förespås inflationen stiga i år. Eller var det redan 6 %? Läser jag en gammal tidning? Riksbanken anser att en inflation på 2 % per år bra för samhällsekonomin. Så har det varit sen 90-talet då det stökade till sig ett tag. Detta har lett till låg ränta i decennium, till och med en på minus.Jag som är en kulturmänniska och bara gjort balansräkningar över känslolivet känner ett skriande behov att förstå ekonomi om än sent i livet och låtsas att inflationen är en metafor. Om man säger att det gått inflation i något betyder det att det blivit för mycket av det. Om det går inflation i en relation så borde det betyda att man setts för mycket. Att känslokapitalet urholkats? Det här duger inte, jag tar ett fast grepp om ekonomijournalisten Andreas Cervenkas nyutkomna bok "Girig-Sverige. Så blev folkhemmet ett paradis för de superrika" och häpnar redan efter första kapitlet: Här kan man lära att det genomsnittliga kvadratmeterpriset på bostäder har stigit med 800% mellan 1996 och 2021 i Sverige. Och att prisuppgången på bostäder inte räknas med i Konsumentprisindex, för prisnivån på konsumtionsvaror har under samma period stigit med 33%. "Priset på bostäder har ostört kunnat löpa amok utan att ge avtryck i den officiella inflationen", skriver han. 1996 kunde man köpa 200 kvadratmeter bostadsrätt i Sverige för en miljon, idag bara 22 kvadratmeter för samma summa. Det är inflationen som tuggat i sig rum efter rum tills bara en pytteetta återstår. Takvåningarnas priser slår i taket mellan vi förfasar oss över tomaterna. Jag ber poeten Johan Jönson att förklara inflationen i två meningar men han klarar det i en: "Kapitalets hemsökelse av sin egen fiktion, betalat och bortjagat av lönearbetets svett; om och om igen." 1933 beskrev Svenska Akademins ordbok inflation så här: Uppskruvning av prisnivån medelst ökning av mängden av utlöpande sedlar och andra betalnings- och kreditmedel. Inflation är ett nationalekonomiskt ormbo konstaterar Cervenka.Jag å min sida försöker göra en katalogdikt à la Sonja Åkesson av nyhetsrubriker angående inflationen:Valfläsk eldar på inflationen bensin på brasan djupa hål i hushållskassan livsmedel svagt draglok för inflationen skenande priserOm inflationen var ett djur skulle det då vara en skenande häst? Om inflationen var ett ljud skulle det då vara en krasch eller en droppe som när vi tittade åt andra hållet långsamt urholkade stenen. Hur skulle den ta sig ut om den hade kropp och själ? In-fla-tion in-flamma-tion. Förklara dig för mig.
Punk rock in the mid-to-late '70s and early '80s meant different things to different people, depending on which city you were in. For Los Angeles, it was the band X that helped define the sound from their Venice home. (The band sits at #13 on Consequence's own list of the Best Punk Bands of All Time.) X's most iconic song happens to be the title track of their debut LP, Los Angeles. "Los Angeles" reflects all of that city's deep complexities, including racial, sexual and religious intolerance, in a biographical tale centered on a figure known personally by Doe and Cervenka. As told via lyrics intended to shock, this person so hated others in LA not like herself that she moved several time zones away to escape them. Her POV is so raw that certain radio stations that previously championed the song no longer play it. But the song's driving power remains and was always meant to be a social commentary, a thrashing no-holds-barred critique about intolerance that is perhaps even more relevant today. In this seventh episode of The Story Behind the Song podcast, host Peter Csathy interviews X's John Doe about the origins of “Los Angeles,” co-written by Cervenka and produced by Ray Manzarek of The Doors (a band also known for writing songs about LA's deep, dark underbelly). The two also discuss Doe's recording of Cervenka's very different, haunting song, “Alone in Arizona” from Doe's 2016 solo album, Westerner.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.06.01.127027v1?rss=1 Authors: Freiburghaus, T., Svensson, J. E., Matheson, G. J., Plaven-Sigray, P., Lundberg, J., Farde, L., Cervenka, S. Abstract: Dopamine D2 receptors (D2-R) in extrastriatal brain regions are of high interest for research in a wide range of psychiatric and neurologic disorders. Pharmacological competition studies and test-retest experiments have shown high validity and reliability of the positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand [11C]FLB 457 for D2-R quantification in extrastriatal brain regions. However, this radioligand is not available at most research centres. Instead, the medium affinity radioligand [11C]raclopride, which has been extensively validated for quantification of D2-R in the high-density region striatum, has been applied also in studies on extrastriatal D2-R. Recently, the validity of this approach has been questioned by observations of low occupancy of [11C]raclopride in extrastriatal regions in a pharmacological competition study. Here, we utilise a data set of 16 healthy control subjects examined with both [11C]raclopride and [11C]FLB 457 to assess the correlation in binding potential (BPND) in extrastriatal brain regions. BPND was quantified using the simplified reference tissue model with cerebellum as reference region. The rank order of mean regional BPND values were similar for both radioligands, and corresponded to previously reported data, both post-mortem and using PET. Nevertheless, weak to moderate within-subject correlations were observed between [11C]raclopride and [11C]FLB 457 BPND extrastriatally (Pearsons R: 0.30 - 0.56), in contrast to very strong correlations between repeated [11C]FLB 457 measurements (Pearsons R: 0.82 - 0.98). These results are likely related to low signal to noise ratio of [11C]raclopride in extrastriatal brain regions, and further strengthen the recommendation that extrastriatal D2-R measures obtained with [11C]raclopride should be interpreted with caution.

M., Caseras, X., Castellanos, F. X., Cervenka, S., Chaim-Avancini, T. Abstract: Delineating age-related cortical trajectories in healthy individuals is critical given the association of cortical thickness with cognition and behaviour. Previous research has shown that deriving robust estimates of age-related brain morphometric changes requires large-scale studies. In response, we conducted a large-scale analysis of cortical thickness in 17,075 individuals aged 3-90 years by pooling data through the Lifespan Working group of the Enhancing Neuroimaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium. We used fractional polynomial (FP) regression to characterize age-related trajectories in cortical thickness, and we computed normalized growth centiles using the parametric Lambda, Mu, and Sigma (LMS) method. Inter-individual variability was estimated using meta-analysis and one-way analysis of variance. Overall, cortical thickness peaked in childhood and had a steep decrease during the first 2-3 decades of life; thereafter, it showed a gradual monotonic decrease which was steeper in men than in women particularly in middle-life. Notable exceptions to this general pattern were entorhinal, temporopolar and anterior cingulate cortices. Inter-individual variability was largest in temporal and frontal regions across the lifespan. Age and its FP combinations explained up to 59% variance in cortical thickness. These results reconcile uncertainties about age-related trajectories of cortical thickness; the centile values provide estimates of normative variance in cortical thickness, and may assist in detecting abnormal deviations in cortical thickness, and associated behavioural, cognitive and clinical outcomes.

M., Caseras, X., Castellanos, F. X., Cervenka, S., Chaim-Avancini, T. M., Ching, C. R., Cl Abstract: Age has a major effect on brain volume. However, the normative studies available are constrained by small sample sizes, restricted age coverage and significant methodological variability. These limitations introduce inconsistencies and may obscure or distort the lifespan trajectories of brain morphometry. In response, we capitalised on the resources of the Enhancing Neuroimaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium to examine the age-related morphometric trajectories of the ventricles, the basal ganglia (caudate, putamen, pallidum, and nucleus accumbens), the thalamus, hippocampus and amygdala using magnetic resonance imaging data obtained from 18,605 individuals aged 3-90 years. All subcortical structure volumes were at their maximum early in life; the volume of the basal ganglia showed a gradual monotonic decline thereafter while the volumes of the thalamus, amygdala and the hippocampus remained largely stable (with some degree of decline in thalamus) until the sixth decade of life followed by a steep decline thereafter. The lateral ventricles showed a trajectory of continuous enlargement throughout the lifespan. Significant age-related increase in inter-individual variability was found for the hippocampus and amygdala and the lateral ventricles. These results were robust to potential confounders and could be used to derive risk predictions for the early identification of diverse clinical phenotypes. Copy rights belong to original authors.

En släktkrönika om slavhandelns konsekvenser - i 1700-talets Ghana fram tills idag. Och så får vi hjälp med frågan: vad gör egentligen en bank? Författaren Yaa Gyasi är född i Ghana, uppvuxen i södra USA och är nu här med sin debutroman "Vända hem". Boken är en berättelse som löper över generationer, från 1700-talets Ghana där britterna bedriver grym slavhandel till dagens USA. Romanen är en uppgörelse med slaveriets konsekvenser, idag och då. Nu är hon här, med i Lundströms! Och så kommer författaren och ekonomijournalisten Andreas Cervenka hit. Med boken "Vad gör en bank?" leder han oss varsamt i annars så svårnavigerade korridorer, med hjälp av humor, metaforer och kunskap. Så tar vi oss även an ordet "Plötsligt". Fint eller fult, onödigt eller nödvändigt för spänning? Meningarna går isär, och bestämde oss för att ringa upp en som faktiskt har koll... Klicka HÄR för att komma till Lundströms spotify-lista. Med alla låtar som har varit med i programmet.

2 drummer shows in a row? YAUP. When I asked Mikey to be apart of the show he said, "sure but I dont talk much." So thats why we had a shorter show. He is one of the best drummers I know and I've had the pleasure to have him fill in on a few Radar shows in the past. He was even apart of the whole "Neutral Zone Fiasco." We talk about his 80s music upbringing, upcoming shows, WRESTLING and breastfeeding in public. Enjoy! SONG OF THE WEEK I Feel Electric - Wombat https://ifeelelectric.bandcamp.com/track/wombat

Today's Guest: John Doe, singer, co-founder, X, author, Under the Big Black Sun: A Personal History of L.A. Punk Watch this exclusive Mr. Media interview with John Doe by clicking on the video player above! Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience full of aging punks who no longer take pride in torn fishnet stockings and who are using safety pins in ways they never dreamed of in 1978 … in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida! Under the Big Black Sun: A Personal History of L.A. Punk by John Doe with Tom DeSavia and Friends. Order your copy today by clicking on the book cover above! John Doe and Exene Cervenka probably never dreamed, when they met at a Venice, California, poetry workshop in 1976, that one day they would be regarded as the core of a musical movement that shook, stirred and ripped corporate rock. I didn’t say they ultimately prevented its rise – I wish they had – but as co-founders of the LA punk band X, they built one of the first bulwarks against the tide of homogenized rock ‘n’ roll. JOHN DOE podcast excerpt: "X — our music — was always accessible. We weren’t trying to piss people off; we just did it naturally. There was no ‘marketing’; the term barely existed. The way you were DIY in those days was you went out, met people, lived your life, did your thing. I have no regrets; that’s the way you get cancer." The Westerner by John Doe. Order or download your copy today by clicking on the CD cover above! And even if youth culture didn’t ultimately heed their warnings of what lay ahead, Doe and Cervenka left us a legacy of Americana, rockabilly and rawness that stands up to whatever today’s generation of next big things might offer.

John stars in the new independent film "Pleased to Meet Me", so we discuss his chemistry with co-star Aimee Mann, shooting movies in smaller cities, and playing someone in the music business vs. actually being in the music business.

Exene is a singer, artist and poet whose work traverses virtually every aspect of those disciplines. Best known as the singer for X, one of the leaders of the late-'70s/early-'80s California punk explosion, Exene Cervenka has also issued solo albums, launched several side bands (The Knitters), and penned books. X just announced plans to join their east coast comrades, BLONDIE, as a Special Guest on their fall U.S. “No Principals Tour.” Set to kick off September 5th, the bands will hit U.S cities including Atlantic City, Washington, DC, Chicago, San Francisco, Austin, Houston, Dallas, Nashville, Atlanta and Philadelphia before wrapping October 4th in New York City at Roseland Ballroom. Three decades after the inception of X, songs written during the group’s inception are as relevant and inventive now as they were in 1977. The original line-up of X remains John Doe, Exene Cervenka, Billy Zoom, and D.J. Bonebrake. John Doe found her in Venice Beach at a poetry reading. He liked her poems so much he offered to perform them in his band. The poet, Exene Cervenka, had just moved to town from Florida and she told him, no offense, but if anyone was gonna perform her poems, it would be her, and she soon ended up in the band. The band’s early albums, LOS ANGELES (1980), produced by Ray Manzarek of the Doors, WILD GIFT (1981), and UNDER THE BIG BLACK SUN (1982) explored dark love and an even darker L.A. with the unflinching eye of a Raymond Chandler novel. Doe and Cervenka would marry and later divorce, but they’d always remain soulmates. As they released each ensuing album, MORE FUN IN THE NEW WORLD (1983) and AIN'T LOVE GRAND (1985), the band continued to grow sonically and politically, fearlessly mixing genres without ever losing its center.
