1000 Words Photography Magazine #12
I am delighted to inform you that issue 12 of 1000 Words "Thereness" is now available to view online at www.1000wordsmag.com
Featuring portfolios from Léonie Hampton, Chris Shaw, Maja Forsslund, Rinko Kawauchi, Ordinary Light Photography and Roe Ethridge alongside in-depth interviews, essays and reviews by Louise Clements, Simon Baker, Lucy Davies, Natasha Christia, Brad Feuerhelm and Margaret Gray, 1000 Words attempts to show a kind of photography that draws directly and honestly from life; work that does not fit neatly into categories yet which can be infinitely more rigorous and fresher than any attempts at visual gimmickry made by the latest tricks of the trade.
In line with this, we also cover new titles from Andy Sewell, C Photo and Enrique Metinides in the dedicated books section courtesy of texts from Michael Grieve, Oliver Whitehead and Daniel Campbell Blight.
"[...]'Thereness' is a sense of the subject's reality, a heightened sense of its physicality, etched sharply into the image. It is a sense that we are looking at the world directly, without mediation. Or rather, that something other than a mere photographer is mediating. [...] Such a feeling, such alertness, when present in the photograph, can of course conceal the greatest photographic art. 'Thereness' is seen at the opposite ends of the photographic spectra, in the humblest holiday enprint as much as the most serious art photograph, in the snapshot-inspired, dynamic small camera candid as much as the calm, meditative, large camera view. Those photographs which conjure up a compelling desire to touch the subject, to walk into the picture, to know the photographed person, display 'thereness'. Those photographs which tend towards impressionism, expressionism or abstraction can be in danger of losing it, or never finding it [...]. 'Thereness', in short, is a quality that has everything to do with reality and little to do with art, yet is, I would reiterate, the essence of the art of photography".

Injuries Uncommon in Youth Football, Mayo Clinic
ROCHESTER, MINN. -- A Mayo Clinic study of youth football showed that most
injuries that occurred were mild, older players appeared to be at a higher risk and that no
significant correlation exists between body weight and injury.
The study, which appears in the April issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, found that the
data for athletes grades four through eight indicated that the risk of injury in youth
football does not appear greater than the risk associated with other recreational or
competitive sports.
"Our analysis showed that youth football injuries are uncommon," said Michael J. Stuart,
M.D., a Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeon and the principal author of the study.
Dr. Stuart and his colleagues studied 915 players aged 9 to 13 years, who participated on
42 football teams in the fall of 1997. Injury incidence, prevalence and severity were
calculated for each grade level and player position. Additional analyses examined the
number of injuries according to body weight.
A game injury was defined as any football-related ailment that occurred on the field
during a game that kept a player out of competition for the reminder of the game,
required the attention of a physician, and included all concussion, lacerations, as well as
dental, eye and nerve injuries. The researchers found a total of 55 injuries occurred in
games during the season — a prevalence of six percent. Incidence of injury expressed as
injury per 1,000 player-plays was lowest in the fourth grade (.09 percent), increased for
the fifth, sixth and seventh grades (.16 percent, .16 percent, .15 percent respectively) and
was highest in the eighth grade (.33 percent).
Most of the injuries were mild and the most common type was a contusion, which
occurred in 33 players. Four injuries (fractures involving the ankle growth plate) were
such that they prevented players from participating for the rest of the season. No player
required hospitalization or surgery.
The study's authors said risk increases with level of play (grade in school) and player age.
Older players in the higher grades are more susceptible to football injuries. The risk of
injury for an eighth-grade player was four times greater than the risk of injury for a
fourth-grade player. Potential contributing factors include increased size, strength, speed
and aggressiveness. Analysis of body weight indicated that lighter players were not at
increased risk for injury, and in fact heavier players had a slightly higher prevalence of
injury. This trend was not statistically significant. Running backs are at greater risk when
compared with other football positions, the researchers reported.
Other authors who contributed to the study include: Michael A. Morrey, Ph.D., Aynsley
M. Smith, RN, Ph.D., John K. Meis, M.S., all from the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center and Cedric J. Ortiguera, M.D., a Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeon in Jacksonville,
Fla.
Mayo Clinic Proceedings is a peer-reviewed and indexed general internal medicine
journal, published for 75 years by Mayo Foundation, with a circulation of 130,000
nationally and internationally.

Rwanda: Kagame Wins Rwanda Presidential Election by Landslide
TOPICS:2017 Presidential ElectionKigaliPresident Paul KagameRwanda
Paul Kagame wins third term with 99 per cent of vote in Rwanda presidential election
Posted By: Michael Onas August 5, 2017
Polling staff carry a ballot box before counting at a polling center in Kigali, Rwanda, Aug. 4, 2017.
KIGALI, RWANDA — Rwandan President Paul Kagame led Friday’s presidential election with more than 99 percent support in early returns, the country’s election commission said.
In a nationally televised broadcast, the commission’s executive secretary said more than 80 percent of the country’s 6.9 million registered voters had cast ballots.
In July, Kagame told a political rally that “the day of the presidential elections will just be a formality.” The massive lead in the preliminary results set the stage for his third term in office.
“I’m very excited” about the initial results, said Kagame supporter Ester Kabaera, 55, a businesswoman. “Obviously, he is going to win. He’s the only president who can win, who can rule this country.”
At the national headquarters of Kagame’s Rwandan Patriotic Front party, political leaders, supporters and donors watched election results on televisions as they came in district by district.
“Tonight we are very, very, extremely happy because he accepted our request [to lead the country],” medical student Fred Namania, 30, said at the event. “And we are looking forward to a lot of things being done in the next seven years.”
A polling staff member counts ballots at a polling center in Kigali, Rwanda, Aug. 4, 2017.
In power for nearly 20 years
Kagame has been in power for 17 years. A 2015 constitutional measure, approved by 98 percent of voters, could allow Kagame to remain in power until 2034.
“I feel like President Kagame should lead us for [more] decades,” Namania said.
Other Kagame supporters told VOA they weren’t looking for a president for life.
“At the end of the [new] seven-year term of his excellency, Paul Kagame, someone will continue after him,” Kagame supporter Joseph Zorondera said after casting his ballot at the Mbandazi Primary School outside Kigali. “We need a good leader in our country now to continue to secure the country, to help the people of Rwanda and to continue to develop the country for the next seven years,”
Voting was calm as people trickled into the school, nestled in the hilly outskirts of the sprawling capital.
Valerian Musengamana, the polling station chief, told VOA that people were “very happy with the activities of the election. They are really satisfied.”
The East African Community — a regional intergovernmental organization comprising Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda — sent international observers to monitor the polls. The European Union did not. Representatives of local observer missions told VOA they hadn’t encountered any significant issues and that the voting appeared to be progressing smoothly.
Green Party presidential candidate Frank Habineza addresses the media after casting his vote in Kigali, Rwanda, Aug. 4, 2017.
Opposition presidential candidate Frank Habineza of the Green Party told VOA that some of his party’s observers had been denied access to polling stations, but after the National Election Commission was informed of the problem, 95 percent of them were permitted to monitor the voting process.
Habineza was one of two challengers Kagame faced in his re-election bid. Independent Philippe Mpayimana was also on the ballot.
Few of their supporters would agree to be interviewed at the polls.
“I chose [the Green] Party simply because of its good platform,” said voter Charles Ndamage, with electoral commission officials watching nearby. “The manifesto presented by Habineza was very interesting to me — for instance, the fact that he wants to develop the country by reducing the step between rich people and poor people.”
Endorsements for Kagame
Nine of the 11 political parties permitted to register in Rwanda endorsed Kagame. Four other presidential hopefuls were disqualified by the electoral commission. The government and ruling party brushed off allegations from human rights groups that authorities restricted freedom of expression and stifled political opposition.
Kagame is widely credited with stabilizing the country after a 1994 genocide.
“They [the opposition candidates] are good but … I don’t think any of them will do better than Paul Kagame. Because we have seen for the last few years that he has been on, the changes. It’s really a big change. It’s obvious,” said voter Imelda Batamoliza.
Kagame’s supporters pointed to developments like improved roads, more community connections to clean water and recently built schools.
Government officials said they expected to announce final results over the weekend.

Provisions on agriculture trade policy instruments still to be resolved in SADC–EU EPA negotiations
According to an interview with a leading South African trade official, a number of negotiating issues in the SADC–EU EPA negotiations have now been resolved. In March’s issue Bridges Africa – a special issue on EPA negotiations in Africa – Xavier Carim, from South Africa’s Department of Trade and Industry, spoke about:
the MFN clause: there is no longer “an obligation on the SACU to automatically extend advantages granted to other trading partners to the EU”. The EU may request negotiations to ensure that any advantage extended to a third party is also extended to the EU, but would “need to be prepared to offer a concession or benefit in exchange”;
“provisions relating to the definition of parties, administrative cooperation” and similar technical issues;
new generation issues (trade-related areas, procurement, competition policy and intellectual property rights): the negotiators have “left open the option for non-binding cooperation in these areas” at some future point.
Progress has also been made on “a mutually acceptable balance in the exchange of tariff concessions” and “appropriate rules of origin”, and it is considered that the concerns of smaller SACU economies related to specific sensitive sectors can be addressed.
Mr Carim noted the EC’s long-standing commitment to extending “any provision negotiated in one EPA that is seen to be beneficial” to other EPA agreements, should the concerned parties so request. In this context, the same edition of the Bridges Africa where this interview appears carries an article on the legal position regarding the MFN clause in the EAC–EU EPA. On a related issue, Mr Carim raised the question: “how would ACP countries be compensated when the balance obtained under the EPA is disturbed by an erosion of the value” of traditional ACP trade preferences, as a result of future third-country agreements negotiated by the EU?
Issues that still need to be resolved include “export taxes, infant industry, bilateral safeguards and agricultural safeguards”. These are considered “difficult issues”, with their solution “not obvious at this stage”.
According to Mr Carim, the issue of export taxes needs to be seen against the background of African aspirations to shift away from commodity-based growth towards a more sustainable development path that uses “the continent’s natural resource base as a platform for diversification and industrialisation”. In this context, export taxes have been used to support infant industries and attract foreign investment. Since “export taxes are not prohibited under WTO rules”, there is seen to be no reason why African governments should abandon the possible use of this trade policy tool. The Bridges Africa special issue also includes two articles on export taxes setting out the pros and cons of their use in the SADC–EU EPA context.
Mr Carim noted that there remain concerns over the deadline of 1 October 2014 for the completion of the EPA negotiations. (After this date, the current regulation, MAR1528/2007 –which provides duty-free access to the EU market on a transitional basis – will lapse.) It is thought that a situation could arise where the EU continues to enjoy duty-free access to the whole of the SACU market, as a result of the reciprocal provisions of the EU’s Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement with South Africa (TDCA), while Botswana, Namibia and Swaziland are denied duty-free access to the EU market as a result of the termination of MAR1528/2007. Such an outcome, Mr Carim observed, would be “unquestionably unfair and inequitable”, and any subsequent moves by Botswana, Namibia and Swaziland to withdraw corresponding duty-free access for EU goods to their territories could “fracture the customs union in SACU”.
In the longer term, Mr Carim voiced the concern that the different provisions of the various African regional EPAs could also serve to “undermine Africa’s wider integration efforts”, with different tariff concessions and rules of origin coming back to haunt African trade negotiators. He considered that mechanisms could be put in place to address this issue by:
a) establishing “a mechanism through which African governments reserve the right to address any impediment to Africa’s regional integration that arises from commitments undertaken in the EPAs”;
b) establishing a “joint undertaking at the Africa and ACP levels, as well as with cooperation from the EU, to provide a legal basis for intra-EPA cumulation amongst ACP countries”.
International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development, ‘EPA negotiations in Africa: Which way forward?’, Bridges Africa, Vol. 3, Issue 2, March 2014
http://ictsd.org/downloads/bridges-africa-review/3-2.pdf
Given that the SACU group includes a dominant economic powerhouse and much smaller national economies, infant industry protection and agricultural safeguards have been central to the SACU regional dispensation, with these tools being actively used to support the structural development of a number of agro-food sector value chains. These SACU provisions would be brought into question by certain EPA provisions, which thus remain a major source of disagreement in the EPA negotiations.
From the perspective of smaller SACU economies, the use of these SACU provisions impacts only minimally on EU exports, while posing serious challenges to these countries’ national efforts to promote dairy, poultry and cereal-based food product value chains.
Given this regional reality, these provisions can be seen as a critical test of the EU’s cooperation in assisting African governments by accommodating regional sensitivities and realities, as Africa embarks on the difficult path of regional trade and economic integration. However, it needs to be recognised that the EU has broader trade concerns that could be undermined by blanket exemptions.
In this context, allowing special dispensations, linked specifically to African efforts to promote regional trade integration, could offer a way out in terms of reconciling regional needs with wider EU trade policy concerns.
This could hinge upon the acceptance of general principles, while linking the implementation of specific measures to developments within intra-regional trade arrangements in Africa. This would ensure that EPA commitments are fully supportive of Africa’s own intra-regional trade integration efforts without setting a precedent for the unrestricted use of such trade policy tools by the EU’s other trade partners.

Bangla Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today laid the foundation stone of the first Hindi University in the State. The university will come up at Arupara in Howrah district.
The CM also inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for several other projects on the occasion. She also distributed benefits of various schemes to people from the stage.
Highlights of her speech:
Who could have thought the State Secretariat would be relocated to Howrah? We did it.
Swasthya Bhavan will be shifted to a 3 acre plot behind Nabanna soon. The work for DPR has begun.
Who could have thought, a helipad would come at Dumurjola? We have already set up 30 new helipads across the State.
New airports have come up at Malda, Balurghat, Andal and Cooch Behar. One more is coming up at Purulia.
Whenever someone from outside visits Kolkata, they say the city has progressed. This is poriborton. But a few jealous people refuse to acknowledge the change that has happened in the State.
Bangla’s Kanyashree scheme won the first prize from UN. Bangla is No. 1 in the world.
There is 50% reservation for women in local bodies. Women get maternity leave for 731 days.
We have done away with income ceiling for Kanyashree scheme. Everyone is eligible for the scholarship now.
We have distributed Sabooj Sathi cycles. 72 lakh SC/ST students have received Sikshashree scholarships. 2.12 crore minority students have also received scholarships, the highest in India.
58 lakh OBC students are now pursuing higher education. We have started Swami Vivekananda Merit scholarships for general caste students.
Before we came to power in 2011, there were only 12 universities in Bangla. We have set up 28 new universities in the last seven and half years. We laid the foundation for one more today. 10 more universities are in the pipeline.
We have done away with khajna tax and mutation fees on agricultural land.
We have waived off mutation fees on inherited land. You need not to go gazetted officers for attestations anymore. Our government has started self-attestations.
State Govt pays the full premium for crop insurance. The State Govt is funding the scheme entirely, not the Centre.
72 lakh farmer families will benefit from the Krishak Bandhu scheme.
We give financial assistance of Rs 5000 to pregnant women. We send ‘Matri Jaan’ to ferry mothers to hospitals.
Not only Bangla, people from Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha also come to our State for free healthcare.
We have brought 7.5 crore people under Swasthya Sathi scheme. We are not a part of Ayushmaan Bharat scheme. It is hogwash.
We have issued the Swasthya Sathi cards in the name of women, recognising them as the head of the family. Even her parents will be eligible for insurance with that card.
Today we have laid the foundation stone for drinking water supply projects worth Rs 1488 crore. Another project worth Rs 1100 crore will be initiated tomorrow at Bankura.
Earlier people used to complain about load shedding. Those days are now history.
Narendra Modi goes for even inaugurating toilets. Why does he seek so much publicity? He only believes in publicity, no action.
When demonetisation was announced, I was the first to call it a disaster. More than 2 crore people have lost their jobs since then.
More than 12,000 farmers have committed suicide in the country. Charity begins at home. Bengal is No. 1 in generating employment under MGNREGA.
We are No. 1 in skill development training through Utkarsh Bangla.
Our Utkarsh Bangla scheme has been ranked among the top 5 among 1,062 schemes from across the world.
Sabooj Sathi has been ranked among the top 5 among 1142 schemes from across the world.
We have reduced unemployment by 40%. It is on record in Parliament.
Modi babu knows only how to manipulate data.
Five years are gone. This government’s expiry date is over. Will taking expired medicines treat the ailment?
Elections are around the corner. Hence, they are brandishing arms and weapons. They are indulging in opportunistic politics over the blood of the jawans.
We are with the armed forces. We are with the martyrs. We are in favour of peace, not riots. We stand by the people of this country. We are against Modi. We are against BJP.
If you speak against them, you are branded as Pakistanis. We are all Pakistani, and they are the only nationalists?
They are searching about religion on Google everyday. My religion is humanity.
Abraham Lincoln had said “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time”
They are creating divisions within the society. They are pitting people against each other. Everyone is terrorised.
Have you ever seen people so scared of the Prime Minister, as if he is Gabbar Singh?
We are announcing a new scheme ‘Yuvashree Arpan’ under which 50,000 youths will receive financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh for setting up a enterprise
We have given due recognition to all languages – Hindi, Urdu, Nepali, Gurmukhi, Santhali, Ol Chiki, Kamtapuri, Rajbongshi, Kurukh, Kurmali

'''''Pugettia producta''''' <br> commonly known as the Kelp Crab, Northern Kelp Crab, and the Shield-Backed Kelp Crab. {{Taxobox | name = Pugettia producta | image = Kelpcrab09.JPG | image_caption = P. producta on the Boston Harbor floating docks (Olympia, Washington) | regnum = [[Animal]]ia | phylum = [[Arthropoda]] | subphylum = [[Crustacea]] | classis = [[Malacostraca]] | subclassis= [[Eucarida]] | ordo = [[Decapoda]] | infraordo = [[Brachyura]] | familia = [[Majidae]] | genus = ''''' Pugettia''''' | species = '''''P. producta''''' | binomial = ''Pugettia producta'' | binomial_authority = [[John Witt Randall|Randall]], 1840 | synonyms = ''Pugettia productus'' <br>''Epialtus producta''<br> ''Epialtus productus'' }} [[File:Kc0542.JPG|300px|thumb|left|kelp crab on Boston Harbor dock]]<br> == Description and Phylogeny == <br> [[File:Ventral kelp crab.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Auto-montage image of anterior, ventral side of male ''P. producta'']] '''Morphology'''<br> ''P. producta'' has a shield-shaped carapace with a prominent, sharp projection directed outward or slightly forward on both sides of the body near or behind the middle. Unlike most spider crabs within the ''Majidae'' family, ''P. producta'' has a smooth carapace that is usually free of adornment. The carapace is longer than it is wide and in males, the carapace width is up to 93 mm and in females is up to 78 mm. The rostrum consists of two broad, flattened "points" and the entire rostrum is not more than one third or two fifths the length of the rest of the carapace. The distance between the eyes is described as being less than one third of the greatest width of the carapace. <ref name="Garth 1980"> Garth, John, and Donald Abbott. "Brachyura: The True Crabs."

"Pugettia producta." WWU: On Campus. N.p., n.d. Web. 1 Feb. 2011. <http://www.wallawalla.edu/academics/departments/biology/rosario/inverts/Arthropoda/Crustacea/Malacostraca/Eumalacostraca/Eucarida/Decapoda/Brachyura/Family_Majidae/Pugettia_producta.html></ref> Another similar species is ''Taliepus nuttallii'', but it differs from ''P. producta'' in having a more convex carapace and a more prominent rostrum. The rostrum also has a small triangular notch at the tip. ''T. nuttallii'' lacks the small tooth in front of the eye that is found in ''P. producta'' as well. <ref name="Garth 1980"></ref> '''Evolution'''<br> [[File:Kelp crab mouth.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Auto-montage image of the mouth parts, ventral side of male ''P. producta'']] Crabs appeared in the fossil record early in the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic, which is nearly 200 million years ago. Through the record, crabs seem to continue to shorten the body and reduce the abdomen. Of the living species of crabs that have been described, the cephalothorax is a defining characteristic. This is the fusion of head and thorax, covered by the carapace. The cephalothorax is short and broad, and forms practically the whole body. The Brachyura or “short-tailed” crabs, have an abdomen that has been reduced to a thin, flat plate, tucked forward out of sight below the cephalothorax. They tend to have five pairs of head appendages. These include the first and second antennae and the innermost three pairs of mouthparts; the mandibles and the first and second maxillae. The eight pairs of thoracic appendages include the outermost three pairs of mouthparts (the first, second, and third maxillipeds) and the five pairs of walking legs. The first pair of the walking legs are modified as chelipeds or pincers. Of the intertidal Brachyura there are three large groups: the spider crabs, the cancroid crabs, and the grapsoid crabs. Additional groups occur in deeper waters off the coasts. The spider crabs, family Majidae, include the decorators, which disguise themselves with bits of hydroids, sponges, and algae, and the kelp crabs, which are usually free of adornment.<ref name="Garth 1980"></ref> <ref name="Schram 2009"> Schram, Joel W..

In the winter the crabs can be found in the low intertidal zone on pilings, floating docks, and rocky shores of protected outer coasts. In summer, the older crabs migrate to floating kelp like ''Macrocystis''.<ref name="Garth 1980"></ref><ref name="Kozloff 1993"></ref> == Natural History and Ecology == '''Reproduction'''<br> [[File:683.JPG|300px|thumb|left|Juvenile ''P. producta'' Cobble beach, Oregon]] [[File:Kelp crab male1.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Auto-montage image of male pleon]] [[File:Kelp crab male2.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Auto-montage image of the other side of the pleon]] [[File:Kelp crab male3.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Auto-montage image of male pleopods]] Crabs often show marked sexual dimorphism. Aside from generally size differences between the sexes, the form of the pleon or abdomen is different from males and females. In most males, the pleon has a narrow and triangular form. In females, the pleon is rounded and broad. This is due to the fact that female crabs brood fertilized eggs on their pleopods. Female crabs possess four pairs of pleopods and males bear two pairs of pleopods, used as copulatory organs. Breeding in ''P. producta'' appears to occur all year round. Females appear to be consistently found in nests of interwoven kelp stipes, but it is unknown if these stripes are woven by the crabs. <ref name="Boolootian"> Boolootian, R. A., A. C. Giese, A. Farmanfarmaian, and J. Tucker. "Reproductive Cycles of Five West Coast Crabs." Physiological Zoology Volume 32.No. 4 (1959): 213-220. JSTOR. Web. 5 Feb. 2011.</ref> Females mate while they have a hard shell or exoskeleton, not right after molting. In Monterey Bay, eggs are carried for 28-31 days before hatching. Based on laboratory findings, a female can deposit a new brood of eggs within two days after the hatching of the previous brood. Females also appear to be capable of producing a new crop of offspring approximately every 30 days. The brood size can range from 34,000-84,000, with an average brood size in Puget Sound being about 61,000 for females with a carapace width between 41-56mm. After a female carries the fertilized eggs for about 30 days, they hatch into protozoea larvae and immediately molt to zoea larvae. The zoea larvae are more like shrimp in appearance than adult crabs. During this stage, the zoeal period, they exist as part of the plankton. Periodically they molt their larval exoskeletons, the body enlarging and undergoing some change in form at each molt. The stages between molts are called instars, and different species of crabs exhibit one to five zoeal instars. The last zoeal instar is followed by a molt and metamorphosis to the megalops stage. At this stage they resemble a small crab. Their abdomen is somewhat flattened and can be folded forward below the cephalothorax, allowing them to sit on the substratum like an adult, and can be extended posteriorly, allowing it to swim by the beating of its pleopods. Once the megalops molts, it is in the first juvenile crab instar. As a juvenile crab, they remain on the bottom and commences like adults. Molting occurs less frequently as crabs get larger and older. Some species cease molting on becoming sexually mature; others continue to molt throughout life. In P. producta, there are no further molts after maturity. <ref name="Hartnoll"> Fincham, A. A., P. S. Rainbow, Richard Hartnoll, and Peter Gould.

Print.</ref> <ref name="Garth 1980"></ref> <ref name="Boolootian"></ref> '''Foraging Behavior'''<br> ''P. producta'' is generally an herbivore on larger brown algae. Near California the crabs prefer ''Macrocystis'', ''Egregia'', and ''Pterygophora''. In the Puget Sound areas of Washington the diet varies throughout the year. In summer, their diet consists of brown algae like ''Fucus'', ''Sargassum'', and ''Nereocystis''. In the winter months, individuals change to a carnivorous diet which may consist of barnacles, hydroids, and bryozoans. This occurs because they are found on pilings and floating docks where the normal plant foods are not available. In the zoeal period, they eat metazoans, larval forms, and protozoa even smaller than themselves. <ref name="Garth 1980"></ref> '''Symbionts'''<br> ''P. producta'' are found to be parasitized by a nermertean worm and a rhizocephalan barnacle. The nermertean, ''Carcinonemertes epialti'', is a small worm that is about 1-2mm long. It is found among the eggs and is found in 66 percent of the ovigerous females examined. The barnacle is ''Heterosaccus californicus'' and it is a specialized barnacle which occupies the entire region between the abdomen and the sternal surface of the thorax. ''H. californicus'' inhibits host reproduction and feminizes male hosts. This parasite affects adult host size by the host having passed though less instars before the molt of puberty. <ref name="Obrien"> O'Brien, Jack .

621 Opening Receptions | Dec. 2016
This December, 621 Gallery is excited to share three new exhibitions by artists local and regional!
Amy Fleming:
Amy Fleming grew up wanting to be an archeologist. Although life went in another direction, she maintains her love of found objects and the stories behind them. Anything that shows its history through damage, dents, fire, wind, rain and sun are especially interesting.
I spend a lot of time in the woods near my home in north Florida, digging through old dumpsites and collecting bones after deer hunting season ends. There is often a theme to the discards I find out there: a toaster next a coffee percolator and a shot up refrigerator, or a busted up typewriter with a ruined time clock, maybe a side view mirror and a piece of a car horn. There are plenty of interesting discards around the city as well: broken bird baths, vintage floor waxers, and damaged toys left on the curb to be either rescued by my pick up truck or carried off by city services, whoever gets there first. I pull these things out of the ground and off of the curb, and imagine the stories behind them. Sometimes my own stories find their way in.
Printmaking was my first love as an artist, and is the primary medium in my newest series of print and print based collages that focus on ageism. Our Lady of the Salvage Yard is the first of this series, depicting an older woman resplendent in a halo of transmissions and radiator hoses and a crown of headlights. The project entails photographing people 60 years of age and older – the older the better. Age is the only restriction for participants in this project, ethnicity and gender remain open, although the images will primarily focus on women as the primary targets of this form of discrimination.

Kathleen Staples: Breakthrough (Miami, FL) featuring tactile and materially driven paintings will be installed in the front Main Gallery, an immersive, forced perspective installation by Cornelia Oliver: KORNELIAHAUS (Tallahassee, FL) will be featured in the back Main Gallery, and Amy Fleming: All Your Dream Furniture (Tallahassee, FL) will be showing dioramas assembled with recovered, printed, and handmade materials and screen prints in The Nan Boynton Memorial Gallery!
An artist talk by Amy Fleming will be begin at 6pm in the Nan Boynton Memorial Gallery!
Kathleen Staples:
Kathleen Staples was born in Mexico and has traveled extensively. She earned her BFA at Parson’s School of Design and her MFA at the University of Miami, where she teaches art. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions and is in many private collections. Awards include the Individual Artist Fellowship from the State of Florida.
These paintings are abstract in style and created using water-based acrylic paint, exploring the extraordinary variety of visual effects available in this material. I work with fluid paint, wet on wet, that behaves with many watery characteristics. Water is colorless, reflecting the blue sky or the flaming sunset. It floods and surges, so I pour and push the paint in an expressive “go with the flow” metaphor. Each layer I paint interacts with the layer underneath and the one above, and layers of fluid paint suspended in acrylic medium laid down at different stages of dryness create different transparency, surface effects, and texture.
When I tip the work surface to make the paint flow and blow paint across the picture with a powerful fan the paint moves differently at different viscosities. Surrendering to this flow of wet paint rather than shaping it with my hand makes me feel that I am working with natural forces such as those that shaped the earth. The paintings have rough, expressive surfaces that evoke the surfaces of natural terrain, in an exaggerated, fantastic, sense; these parallel the natural forces of landscape.
I find the process-based development and resolution of these paintings a very exciting and rewarding experience. I am continually surprised at how each painting resolves itself, independent of my control. Just as being in the natural element of water is an experience that is all encompassing: the floating, the sinking, the loss of control in the current that takes me somewhere else, so is it when I am in the process of painting. I have the sensation of being one small thing in the immensity of the creative process. Water is transparent and also conceals the deep. My paintings express my wonder at the beauty of the surface and also attempt to reveal a glimpse of the sublime as landscapes of my inner creative self. I intuitively express this with color, the “soul” of the painting.
Cornelia Oliver:
Cornelia Oliver is a Gulf Coast artist who came to Albuquerque to complete her MFA at the University of New Mexico.
The cultural fabric of her childhood in the Deep South and the people, textures, and colors of the places she has visited have had a lasting influence on who she is and the art she creates.
Through the use of evocative imagery, Cornelia feels an artist not only tells a story, but allows each person to interpret and find their own truth in a work; believing this to be the moment in which the work has, in fact, become real. Pablo Picasso stated, “Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.” Cornelia’s art reflects this same spirit and drive.
Art is the reflection of a creative dialogue with another human being. It speaks to provoke, tease, sooth, and most of all, challenge the viewer in an ever expanding globalized world culture.
To be successful, a piece must connect to a fundamental emotive strain within the viewer: In essence, my fabricated reality becomes an accepted and binding truth. In my work I very much hope to gain perspective on not only my own sense of self as an artist, but on what it means to be an artist today, and where we blur the lines between different fields of study in observation, architecture, experimentation, mimesis and representation.
I seek to emancipate viewers from their specific surroundings while uniting them, through material exploration, color, pattern, immediacy and visual commentary, to embrace a larger moment in human existence. It is this moment where I create my truth amongst the existing realities today.
About KORNELIAHAUS:
After years of work I have just launched “KORNELIAHAUS: Home”, my immersive and interactive painting space. This experiential artwork is meant to serve as a pop- up outpost of my movable empire of me. It is a crossover piece combining architecture, theater, performance, design, and fine art, and ultimately a delving into identity through memory and touch.

Connoisseurship: Examinations, Debates and Snap Visual Responses
The rising tide of old master “sleepers” and “discoveries” carries great dangers and demands snap judgements. Some candidates for upgrades intrigue, some look dubious, some scream “Fake!” Last week two cases caught our eye.
Fig. 1, above. Fig. 2, below. The newly discovered “Lost” Van Gogh sketchbook (above, top) rang our and many other fake bells. Then came a report that a small “Florentine School” painting on a €3-4k estimate fetched €375k at auction as a sleeping Filippino Lippi (above, Fig. 1). A link to another small work attributed to the artist at the North Carolina Museum of Art (Fig. 2, below) showed pronounced, seemingly reassuring correspondences, but something jarred.
On connoisseurship we hold that every claimant work should be rigorously “interrogated” in three crucial respects. Technically, in its physical composition; by documentation on its known or claimed histories (provenance); and, above all, by visual analysis because, in the visual arts, every picture is its own prime historical document and its inbuilt historically-generated artistic relationships constitute the primary subject of art critical appraisal and evaluation.
Failure to excise bad attributions deceives the public and corrupts oeuvres. A good picture has nothing to fear from challenges. No amount of scrutiny constitutes a threat as good pictures outlive their doubters and can fight another day. Argument is healthy and a successfully repulsed challenge can increase understanding and enhance a good picture’s lustre.
Vincent van Gogh: The Lost Arles Sketchbook
Above, Fig. 3. The controversial lost-but-now-found Van Gogh sketch book above is by Professor Bogomila Welsh-Ovcharov, a Van Gogh authority whose claims of authenticity are supported by Ronald Pickvance, author of Van Gogh in Arles, but the cover’s supposed Van Gogh ink self-portrait announces itself as a draughtsman’s pastiche, as Mark Hudson noted in the Daily Telegraph (“A romantic story but can it really live up to its promise?”, 16 November 2016).
Above, Fig. 4. Simply by placing the supposed Van Gogh self-portrait next to an autograph portrait, immense and glaring differences become apparent: the author of the “discovered” drawing has abandoned symmetry with eyes of radically different sizes and a nose that seems product of a car crash. Throughout, the author mimics Van Gogh’s pen marks without comprehension of his form, power of design, and psychological acuity.
Above, Fig. 5. Instead of a form-camouflaging jumble of marks, the bona fide Van Gogh disports five graphically discrete component parts: a light-coloured jacket; a dark shirt and scarf; a varied but, on aggregate, mid-toned face; a light-toned hat with some mid and dark-toned form articulating shading; and, throwing all other values into relief, an agitated but tonally cohering background. Each of these spheres is allotted its own graphically purposive notations. The four images we show above for comparison are easily found online in historically successive reproductions. While these reproductions vary considerably, the force and artistic coherence of Van Gogh’s graphic intent and method shines through all.
Above, Fig. 6. If we place the bona fide Van Gogh between the clumsy mimicking newcomer and a masterpiece of the greatest graphic brilliance – van Dyck’s etched self-portrait – it is clear that the Van Gogh has more kinship with the latter than with the former.
Above, Fig. 7. And if we compare the Van Gogh with an entirely autograph van Dyck etched state of a figure we find a common use of a toned background that throws both subjects’ flickeringly brilliant lights and darks into relief.
The Van Gogh Museum’s objections to the “Lost Arles Sketchbook” and its track record on Van Gogh attributions
Above, Fig. 8. Prof. Welsh-Ovcharov (top) has responded to the Van Gogh Museum’s dismissal of the drawings with a rebuttal and a challenge to debate – thereby showing conviction and good faith. Her publisher reportedly characterises the proposed debate as “an opportunity to shed light on the conditions under which the Van Gogh Museum is claiming the de facto right to a monopoly of attribution.” This is a common plaint against authorities that block would-be, high-value attributions but our impression of the museum’s judgements is favourable.
In 2006 a Van Gogh – The “Head of a Man” owned by the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia (above left, on an easel) – was challenged by the art historian and Sunday Times art critic Frank Whitford when the portrait was loaned to an exhibition in Edinburgh. The newspaper asked our opinion and, when we demurred, sent a (revelatory) high resolution full colour compilation of all of Van Gogh’s painted portraits. We supported Whitford, saying to the newspaper (as reported in ArtWatch UK Journal, Spring 2008):
“The specific warning signs that should have alerted the buyer are:
“1] It is unique in Van Gogh’s portrait oeuvre
“2] It does not fit in the stylistic chronology that exists within that oeuvre. Compare it for example with the brushwork, colours and ‘attack’ of the Old Man with Beard, painted the year before that is in the Van Gogh Museum, and the Portrait of Camille Roulin painted a year or so later and that is also in the museum. There is an enormous but clear and logical development between those two pictures, from thick, laboured, relatively coarse brushwork to much more refined and ‘decorative’ marks – but both are entirely consistent and ‘all-over’ in their treatment.
“3] If its provenance goes back no further than Germany in the late 20s or early 30s, that is particularly unfortunate. Germany at the time was notorious for the certification by scholars (for a fee or sales cut) of dud works. The dealer René Gimpel has referred to the scandalous ‘amounts obtained by means of certificates given daily by German experts to German dealers. Just as there were paper marks, so there are paper canvases, an easy way of bringing dollars into Germany…The German title of Doktor impresses the Americans. The museums are even more intent than the collectors on defending their fakes or their mistaken attributions….’ By coincidence, in the current ArtWatch Journal [No 21], Kasia Pisarek cites the case of the great Rubens scholar Ludwig Burchard who issued so many optimistic certificates that he was unable ever to write his definitive book on the artist…She has identified over 60 Burchard attributions that have subsequently fallen. It was Burchard who first upgraded to Rubens the Samson and Delilah that is now in the National Gallery.
“I would add that the fact that it seems to be admitted that it is a cut-down canvas that was glued onto a panel compounds suspicions… Why should a (presumably) then only forty years old canvas, have needed gluing onto a secondary support? It might be worth asking the Gallery curators if any scholar has questioned the picture publicly or privately.
“It may be coincidence, but two of the pictures that ArtWatch has challenged in our own National Gallery, the Rubens Samson and Delilah and the Raphael Madonna of the Pinks, no longer retain their original backs. The former was planed down to 2 or 3mm thickness and glued onto a sheet of blockboard; with the latter, the family of restorers who sold the picture in the 19th century had (most unusually) polished the back of the panel thereby removing all historical evidence.”
As we have seen more recently, the claimed lost Leonardo drawing “La Bella Principessa” that emerged anonymously in 1998 had been glued to an old oak panel. Gluing canvases or drawings onto boards conceals half the material evidence. On 3 August 2007 Andrew Bolt reported in the Australian Herald Sun:
“The curious thing about the National Gallery of Victoria’s fake van Gogh is how easily it was spotted as phoney once it went on tour…. For more than 60 years this painting hung in the NGV without anyone screaming ‘Fake!’ True, a few experts now say they had their doubts, but it was only when the NGV proudly loaned its ‘van Gogh’ to Scotland’s Dean Gallery last year that the painting was denounced. Three British critics took one look at it and snorted… Even then, there were some back in Melbourne who couldn’t accept the evidence of their own eyes, as ABC Television’s 7.30 Report found:
“‘Two of the critics include Michael Daley from ArtWatch UK and Times art critic Frank Whitford. But Robyn Sloggett [an art authentication expert at Melbourne University] has questioned their expertise. ROBYN SLOGGETT: I don’t think either of them are Van Gogh experts, certainly not known to be such…[Director of the National Gallery of Victoria] DR GERARD VAUGHAN: It is a slightly offbeat picture. It doesn’t fit into the natural progression of Van Gogh’s work at that time because it was a moment in late ’86 and into early 1887 where he was experimenting with two or three different styles. In many ways, this is slipping back into his earlier realist style of the mid 1880s where he concentrates and uses these earthier ochre colours. It is a transitional picture.’”
“Conceived at special moments” and “sometimes repeating, sometimes anticipating themselves” are commonplace apologias for disqualifying incongruities in upgrades. In 1997 and 2000 the National Gallery claimed its Rubens Samson and Delilah did not look like any other Rubens in the gallery because it was “the only work in this collection typical of the artist when he had returned from Italy in 1608”. In truth the painting was unlike the (secure) one that immediately preceded it and unlike the (secure) one that immediately followed. If a Rubens, it would be the only one on which he employed flat brushes and painted finger tips with rectangular highlights. During ABC Television’s 7 August 2006 programme (“NGV’s Van Gogh Labelled a fake”), James Mollison, a former NGV director said: “This picture has been doubted by people very often.”
The upshot of the controversy was that the NGV director announced that such was the gallery’s confidence that the painting would be submitted (voluntarily) to full technical examination at the Van Gogh Museum. A year later the Herald Sun reported the attribution’s demise at the Van Gogh Museum:
“The Dutch team used X-radiograph, digital photographs, light microscopy and paint and thread analysis. Among conclusions were: THE work’s ground layer of white paint is not found in Van Gogh’s Antwerp and Paris works. ITS use of pure ochre is not found in other Van Gogh work. THE portrait shows just the top of the man’s shoulders. Van Gogh usually showed more of the clothes. “A COMBINATION of a fairly coarse and detailed painting style”, with more detail in the mouth, eyes, skin and beard than Van Gogh used. NO reference to the portrait or the sitter in Van Gogh’s extensive letters. The experts also noted no record of the work could be found before 1928, when it appeared at Berlin’s Galerie Goldschmidt and Co.”
The Rubens Samson and Delilah emerged in Germany the following year at Van Diemen and Benedict where it was offered as a Honthorst before being upgraded by Ludwig Burchard. Previously it had been attributed to Jan van den Hoecke, a follower of Rubens. Burchard had recently upgraded the supposed Rubens ink sketch design for the Samson and Delilah (see Art’s Toxic Assets and a Crisis of Connoisseurship ~ Part II: Paper – sometimes photographic – Fakes and the Demise of the Educated Eye ).
The Newly Upgraded Filippino Lippi
Above, Fig. 9. At first glance the awakened “Filippino Lippi” (above right) seems more plausible than the new Van Gogh drawings – especially when linked to a work attributed to the painter at the North Carolina Museum of Art (above left). In terms of palette, condition and design the two seem as peas in a pod but this closely related pair triggers no recollections of anything similar in the artist’s oeuvre. If their strikingly common format suggests original incorporation in a larger work, disjunctive variations in their parapet walls and stone inscription tablets dispels the possibility. Most inexplicably of all, the new upgrade is incongruously modernist in its emphatic planar and ‘on-the-picture-surface’ geometrical vocabulary.
Above, Fig. 10. In 1901 the painting of Saints Uraldus and Fridianus was sold (not as a Philippino Lippi but as a Masaccio) to an English aristocrat, the Earl of Ashburnham. As with the recently proposed Haddo House Raphael (Fig. 10 above), there is little on the panel’s back other than a label in English for an exhibition of “Early Italian Art” (Fig. 10 top). For the Carolina Saint Donatus, the museum offers only a date – “circa 1490” – and the identity of the picture’s donor, the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. Such lacunae are perplexing because Filippino Lippi is a well-chronicled artist whose securely attributed works might easily be brought into direct comparison with the two more recent attributions.
Above, Fig. 11. The backs of attribution upgrades often prove problematic, and none was more so than the small panel “discovered” as a Duccio Madonna and Child (above right) in 1904 after having been bought in an antiques shop in Italy. It was then rarely seen until bought with fanfare (but no technical examinations) for $50m in 2004 by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in a blind “treaty” sale conducted by an auction house among a few leading museums shortly after the picture was withdrawn from an imminent comparative exhibition of Duccio and his followers that would have introduced the painting to many scholars for the first time and in an instructive context. That withdrawal – despite the painting’s inclusion in the catalogue – might have been made out of fear of repeating the demise of the owners’ second Duccio, as described below.
The back of the tiny picture had been cradled with no fewer than eight mahogany bars and when these were later removed at the Met. a hand-written ascription to Duccio’s pupil “Segna” was found on the bare poplar wood from which painted work had been stripped. The Met Duccio contained modern wire nails, a fact not acknowledged in the museum’s post-purchase technical examination reports. When we asked after the antiquity of the nails the museum claimed they had been inserted as repairs after the panel had been cradled in the 1930s. As “proof” of that unsupported chronology it was said that one of the nails had entered one of the mahogany bars. However, as we pointed out, the head of that particular nail had been visible on the front of the frame throughout all of picture’s photographically recorded history and, while some nail heads were visible most were not and therefore had been applied before the (now heavily distressed) frame was gessoed and gilded. Thus, the panel arrived in the world at the beginning of the 20th century with modern nails intersecting a cradle that concealed an awkward ascription on a stripped-down back.
Above, Fig 12. A face painted in the 14th century by a follower of Duccio (identified by Pèleo Bacci as Segna) is shown above to the right of the face of the Met’s Duccio as it was before restorations established the blue of the Virgin’s mantle to be azurite, not the requisite ultramarine. No one ever suggested that the painting on the right was by Duccio and no one judged the Met’s picture an autograph Duccio before Bernard Berenson’s wife (Mary) in 1904 with the support of Berenson’s protégé Frederic Mason Perkins. An earlier suggestion had been that it was a work of Sano di Pietro, as Frances Vieta discovered in researches at the Frick Library, New York, that were kindly made available to us.
In 1933 Perkins attributed a second Madonna and Child to Duccio and persuaded the then owner of the Met.’s Ducio (the Belgian collector, Adolphe Stoclet) to buy it. In 1989 that Duccio was loaned to the Cleveland Museum of Art and was there identified on technical examination by Gianni Mazzoni as a fake by Icilio Federico Joni who ran a forgery factory fronted by middlemen, one of whom was Berenson’s protégé Frederic Mason Perkins.
Above, Fig. 13. A cult of Supreme Art Historical Importance was activated around the Met. Duccio and part of this mythology rested on the picture’s supposedly miraculously well-preserved, little-restored, condition. Comparison of the photographs above showing its present state (right) and an earlier state (left) discloses how extensively the work has been repainted – note the altered design of the dominant eye, and the extensive reworking of the veil. The potentially falsifying nature of restorations when determining attributions remains a conspicuously under-examined area – as does the extent and nature of repainting on stripped-down “sleepers”. (But see “A restorer’s aim – The fine line between retouching and forgery”. For a fuller account of the Met.’s Duccio difficulties, see Michael Daley: “Buyer Beware”; “Good Buy Duccio?” and “Toxic Attributions?” in the Jackdaw magazine issues of Nov/Dec. 2008, Jan/Feb. 2009, and March/April 2009.)
The Newly Upgraded Filippino Lippi (continued)
Above, Fig. 14. With the two small “Filippino Lippi” pictures at Fig. 9 and below, top, said to have been painted between 1490 to 1494, precise stylistic comparisons can be made with securely attributed works in the oeuvre. What is believed to be Filippino Lippi’s self-portrait above was executed by the artist in 1481-1482 in the Brancacci Chapel, Santa Maria del Carmine, Florence.
Above, Fig. 15. Filippino Lippi’s Apparition of the Virgin to St Bernard of 1480-86 was said by Bernard Berenson (in his 1938 revised Drawings of the Florentine Painters) to comprise “Filippino’s masterpiece, the last picture in which he is still a pure Quattrocentist, in which there is no sense of the Baroque.” Is it conceivable that some years later this artist painted the two small pictures shown here above the Apparition? Berenson reports that Filippino went on to betray excesses, not to purge and severely abstract his pictorial vocabulary: “Filippino’s Baroque, however had little in common with the qualities of the genuine [Baroque] style, and much with its worst vices. These were the sins of extravagance, of wantonness – the vulgarity of the newly enriched, who feel life is enhanced by the mere act of showy spending.”
Above, Fig. 16. At the top we see how Filippino Lippi painted books before 1486 in his Apparition of the Virgin to St Bernard and before his lapse into Baroque excesses. In this secure work we not only see great technical accomplishment but a fascination with the very means by which books were stitched together in assembled folded sections. Is it conceivable that after this tour de force celebration of the book binder’s craft skills Filippino should have been satisfied with the out-of-perspective simplifications of books in the Saint Uraldus? While the opened book has been painted in utter ignorance of book binding methods, the ochre coloured book at the bottom left of the pile has managed to anticipate to a remarkable degree the appearance of a neat modern machine-bound book.
Above, Fig. 17. Again, does the chasm of technique and sophistication in this further comparison from the Apparition and the Saint Uraldus not strain credulity at claims of a common author?
Above, Fig. 18. By 1493-94 the artist had completed his Madonna and Child with St Catherine of Alexandria and St Martin of Tours as above and we see precisely the over-elaboration Berenson castigated as Filippino’s squandering “like a nabob with a heady disorderliness all the decorative motives which the heritage of antiquity, the hard earnings of his precursors, and his own fancy had put into his hands.”
Above, Fig. 19. How conceivable is it that Filippino might, at the same short period, have made two so diverse treatments of a man parting drapery with an advancing left arm as in these two paintings? In the one the “Blanket-like drapery dear to Filippino” (in Berenson’s term), curves, twists and folds naturally across the body, while in the other it moves as if fabricated by a former sheet metal worker with little regard for any underlying body, or even for the means by which the glimpsed parts of the (wildly varying) decorative border of the cope might ever have been united as woven material. Why the arbitrary, asymmetrical placement of indeterminate embroidered decorations on the cope’s border? What holds the cope together? Is it a giant garnet or ruby, or a small tambourine? Where else in Filippino might we encounter such flattening abstractions and lax indeterminacy of depiction?
Above, Fig. 20. If the logic and treatment of Saint Donatus’ cope border (above, left) seems plausible and suitably understated, what might have carried the same artist to the Byzantine and conceptually irresolvable twin conundrums of the cope border as encountered on Saint Uraldus (above right)? What accounts for the very different depictions of the inscribed tablets on the parapet wall? If that of Saint Donatus is somewhat overly monumental and set uncomfortably close to the top of the parapet, at least it is sculpturally resolved and satisfactorily symmetrical along its horizontal axis with its twin decorative “butterfly wings” termini. Why, then, would the twinned tablets of Saints Uraldus and Fridianus meet in the middle with single butterfly-wing termini while leaving blank endings at the outer edges of the picture’s composition? Why are these two inscribed tablets skimped and devoid of projection when the saints above are greatly more dynamic and humanly engaged – almost as if in anticipation of Raphael’s later depicted dialogue between Aristotle and Plato?
Below, Fig. 21. What theological reading of Saint Uraldus’ life prompted the vast frilled neck lizard-like display of the cope’s pink lining below? If intentionally “Baroque” in its explosive ostentation and theatrical impact, why, then, its implausible combining with a geometric severity of draperies that are more snapped than folded?
With such bizarrely anomalous visual constructs, might it not be prudent to consider the waking “Filippino Lippi” sleeper as a possible product of the late 19th and early 20th century Italian forgeries boom that was tailor-made for British and American collectors? We know that many skilful artists were employed in that trade because when the Italian Government proposed stringent export taxes in 1903 to stem the country’s out-flow of art treasures, the Florentine art dealers association petitioned that the new laws would throttle the large and thriving trade in forged art and antiquities for foreign collectors. (Where did all those often excellent works go?)
At the December 2015 ArtWatch UK/LSE Law/NY Center for Art Law conference Art, Law and Crises of Connoisseurship (the proceedings of which will be published shortly), Professor Charles Hope pointed out how effectively 20th century scholarship had winnowed previously overblown numbers of Titians, Raphaels and such. Markets are good things and the London art market has long been a very good (much envied in Europe) force for Britain, but there are developing dangers. If perceptions were to grow that previously downgraded works are being systematically rehabilitated through “sleeper-discovery” mechanisms at a time when leading houses are fighting to the death for pole position on market share, confidence in the lots on offer might evaporate. Already, certain external structural changes are weakening the London market’s traditional and much-valued symbiotic relationship with disinterested scholarship. Increasing litigation by owners against dissenting independent scholars suppresses debate and frank expert appraisal. In a paper at our conference (“Throwing the baby out with the bath water – the Demise of Connoisseurship since the 1980s”), Brian Allen, former director of studies at the Mellon Centre, warned that recent changes of philosophy and views on connoisseurship in the academic world are greatly reducing the traditionally available body of disinterested academic expertise that counterbalances purely commercial interests:
“In my own field of British art the number of so-called ‘experts’ has now diminished alarmingly as the older generation dies off not to be replaced. It seems extraordinary to me that major artists such as Stubbs, Wright of Derby and Sir Thomas Lawrence, to name but three, don’t have an acknowledged expert to whom one can turn for a reasonably reliable, independent opinion. And this has also certainly happened in other specialist fields… Younger scholars nowadays, especially those in the universities, have almost no contact whatsoever with the art trade compared to fifty years ago. Yet for many years it was perfectly possible for the two worlds to co-exist harmoniously.”

The Road Ahead For Battlefield 1: Expansions And Celebrations
We Are Battlefield 1: Thanking Our Community
We hope you enjoyed the latest Battlefest and that you have discovered the Eastern Front in the extensive Battlefield 1 In the Name of the Tsar expansion.
There is plenty more coming for Battlefield 1. On the horizon is our third expansion, in-game events, updates, and even more celebrations. Read on and learn about the road ahead.
Prepare for Battlefield 1 Turning Tides
In December, you will be able to conquer the sea, air, and land in Battlefield 1 Turning Tides, the third Battlefield 1 expansion. With a focus on naval warfare, you’ll engage in the daredevil Zeebrugge Raid and the Gallipoli Offensive, with the British Royal Marines as a new playable faction. Prepare for new maps, weapons, vehicles and other content as you take on the amphibious expeditions of World War 1.
Learn more about Battlefield 1 Turning Tides and the other expansions
Battlefield Anniversary Events
Though our eyes are on the road ahead, it will soon be time to look back at the origin of Battlefield. Not only is Battlefield 1 approaching its one-year anniversary – the entire Battlefield franchise turns 15 this year. We want to celebrate together with the community.
Log in to Battlefield 1 between October 12 and October 16 for Battlefield 1 Year Anniversary events and giveaways. Make sure to unlock the Anniversary Dog Tags and wear them with pride.
Operation Campaigns Coming in November
In early November, we’ll be adding an even more epic variant of the fan-favorite game mode Operations. Dubbed Operation Campaigns, the new experience will expand on the frontline clashes between attackers and defenders, stringing together multiple Operations and adding unique rewards to the mix.
The first Operation Campaign is called Eastern Storm. This experience combines the two Operations from Battlefield 1 In the Name of the Tsar: Brusilov Offensive and Red Tide. Eastern Storm will be available for owners of Battlefield 1 Premium Pass (or the standalone Battlefield 1 In the Name of the Tsar expansion.)
Later in November, we’ll add Fall of Empires, a combination of the base game’s Iron Walls and Conquer Hell. Beyond these two, there are more Campaigns to come.
Complete the active Operation Campaign by scoring enough points before it expires. You will earn a special Battlepack for each completed Campaign. An Operation Campaigns Codex will also be yours after your first successful Campaign. Complete the active Campaign as many times as you can before the time runs out!
For the sharp-shooters out there, you may have noticed that we bumped the release of Operation Campaigns from October to November. We wanted to give it a little bit more time to make sure that it’s a great experience. We appreciate your patience.
Various Fixes in the October Update
Continuing our monthly Battlefield 1 updates, we will very soon release the October Update. Expect various improvements to gameplay, new Dog Tags, and new gameplay settings.
All updates are detailed on the Update Page
Thank you for reading and joining us in the road ahead. A special thanks to all of you who have joined us in the first year of Battlefield 1 – here’s to another year of great Battlefield moments!
Revolution is coming. To let you get warmed up, we’ve prepared the Battlefield 1 Summer Missions. These missions are part of a chained series of challenges where we urge you to PTFO and be a team player.
Each mission comes with its own amazing Dog Tag reward and a Squad XP Boost for those who complete it. Succeed in all three and there’s an exclusive melee weapon in it for you: the LVC Arditi Knife. You can also expect another reward that we’re keeping secret for now…
The first Summer Mission is dubbed the Call to Action Mission. Here, your objective is to play, complete, and win three full matches of Operations. This mission is active between July 15 and July 23.
If you complete the mission in time, you’ll get the Call to Action Dog Tag (rewarded on July 31) and a Squad XP Boost (login between July 23 and July 30 to receive this.)
Thanks for joining us in L.A. for EA PLAY! It was a true pleasure to connect with you, the Battlefield™ 1 community, both in person and through our announcements. We showed you more of Battlefield 1 In the Name of the Tsar, the next expansion pack coming in September, and let you go hands on with Nivelle Nights, the first of two night maps.
Now, we’d like to thank you. Not only do you supply helpful feedback that enables us to continue to improve Battlefield 1. Your passion and devotion inspires us to keep perfecting our game.
As the video above demonstrates, the Battlefield 1 community excels at capturing those crazy gameplay moments and showing off outlandish skills. Equally important is the comradery and support you give each other – and the team at DICE. It’s quite the thing to see.
A Revolution is Coming to Battlefield 1: Learn about all the upcoming content
Thanks for your dedication, feedback, and awesome content you share daily. The battlefield would be empty without it.

Introducing Platoons
Get ready to team up. Today we are introducing the first wave of Platoons features for Battlefield 1. It’s something a lot of you have been asking for, and that we are very happy to finally release. Our focus in this initial release is to add some of the core and most essential Platoons features, such as the Platoon Tag, while building a robust system that we can continue to expand and improve going forward.
Below is an overview of what’s available in this initial release:
Create & Manage – Any player can create a Platoon; you are however limited to one General role, the highest rank and the rank a Platoon creator starts with, at any one time. When creating a Platoon, you can add the following info:
Name – This is required and must be 3-24 characters. Names are not exclusive, although some names may be restricted.
Tag – This is required and consists of 1-4 alpha-numerical characters. Tags are not exclusive, although some names may be restricted.
Description – This is optional and can be up to 256 characters long. Use this to describe your Platoon however you see fit.
Emblem – You can choose an emblem for the Platoon from your own personal Emblem gallery. The emblem is then “copied” to the Platoon, meaning that if you later update your own emblem, it’s not automatically reflected in the Platoon emblem.
Access Type – This selection defines how other players can and cannot join your Platoon:
Open – Anyone can join the Platoon instantly.
Apply-to-Join – Anyone can apply; Platoon members with permissions can accept or reject applications.
Closed – No one can join the Platoon while in this state.
It’s always possible to change any of these values or settings at any time, as long as the Platoon member has permission to modify it.
General – This is the highest Platoon rank and there can only be one General in the Platoon at any one time. The creator will initially get this rank, but can transfer it to someone else (which must be done if you want to leave the Platoon). The General has access to everything, including the option to change name, tag, and even disband the Platoon.
Colonel – Colonel is the second-highest rank and has access to most Platoon management tools, such as editing the description, emblem, and the access type. This means they can step in for the General most of the time.
Lieutenant – The Lieutenant is the lowest level rank with management permissions. Mainly their ability is to accept or reject Platoon applications, if the Platoon is set to “Apply-to-Join”, as well as link their Rented Servers to the Platoon.
Private – Private is the initial rank any new member gets in the Platoon. This rank doesn’t give you access to anything, besides the fact that you are now a member of the Platoon and can represent it and join other members playing. As a rule of thumb, you can always promote someone else to one rank lower than your own, and demote or kick members that are one rank or lower than your own. Rank permissions also always stack, so if you’re promoted you can know for certain that you have the same access as before – and more.
Find & Join – Platoons is all about playing together. In the “Find Platoon” section, you will sometimes get a list of recommended Platoons to join, which is currently based on other Platoons that your friends are representing. Once you’ve found a Platoon, its access type will determine how easy it is for you to join. Maybe you can simply join it right away, or you must apply. If you’re unlucky it’s closed, and that’s that.
Representing and Playing with Your Platoon – For many players, representing your Platoon is what it’s all about and we have tried to make this process easy, smooth, and awesome with the new system. First, you can always only represent one Platoon at any given time, and you can also choose not to represent any. You will retain your membership and rank in the Platoon; it’s basically just something you toggle. When you represent a Platoon, its tag will automatically be displayed in front of your name and its emblem will automatically be displayed wherever your emblem is usually displayed. This essentially “overrides” your equipped emblem; when you represent a Platoon, we want you to really represent it.
Besides having the tag and emblem, if you fill up a squad with other players that represent the same Platoon, the squad will automatically be renamed to the Platoon’s name. Furthermore, if your represented Platoon contributed the most to a Flag Capture (with at least two members present), a pennant carrying your Platoon emblem will be shown on the flag pole. More bragging rights for you.
We currently employ limitations of 100 members per Platoon – if your group is more than 100 people, we suggest you create more Platoons with the same name, tag, emblem and description – and you can at max be a member of 10 Platoons. This includes pending applications; if you are a member of 8 Platoons and have 2 Platoons with pending applications to join, you will not be able to join or apply for any other Platoon unless you leave a Platoon or cancel an application. Increasing these limits are something we will consider going forward.
One of our primary focus areas has also been to more easily facilitate playing together in groups, so we’ve added the ability to always see where your Platoon is playing and join them.
The Road Ahead For Battlefield 1
It’s never been a more exciting time to be playing Battlefield™ 1. We’re thrilled with your overwhelmingly positive feedback on Battlefield 1 They Shall Not Pass. A lot of hard work has gone into it, so we’re glad that you love it just as much as we do. And we’re just getting started!
Here’s a quick look at the road ahead.
Monthly Battlefield 1 Updates
We’re devoted to bringing you the best gaming experience in Battlefield 1. In the past, we did this in the form of seasonal patches. Considering all we have in store for Battlefield 1, we’ve decided to move to monthly updates. With this new tempo, we’re going to bring you more of what you want, faster than ever.
Turning your feedback into battle-tested improvements that everyone will love is important to us. We’ll utilize the Community Test Environment to iterate on your ideas and find the best ways to make our favorite game even better.
Speaking of updates, the Spring Update is coming soon. It’ll bring one of the most highly anticipated features: Platoons. Finally, you’ll be able to organize and join forces with your friends, execute swift victories, and achieve goals as one unit. Stay tuned for more info on Platoons and the Spring Update release.
In-Game Improvements and Tweaks to Operations
Planning for our next releases, we’ve heard you loud and clear. We still have some work to do to make the game as frictionless as possible. We’re dedicating the May Update to revisions that will improve your quality of life in Battlefield 1.
This includes streamlining the flow into matches (especially Operations) and improving many gameplay grievances that will hopefully make the action feel more balanced and fair. The development team is also working on a feature update to the Battlefield 1 Rent-a-Server Program which we hope to release soon.
The New Battlefield 1 Expansions*
We can’t talk about the “road ahead” without mentioning the upcoming expansions. Each one is packed with new maps, weapons, vehicles, and game modes. We have so much more to share about the Great War!
Battlefield 1 In The Name Of The Tsar will bring you to the Eastern Front, where you will fight alongside the Russian army and witness the brutality of combat and the bitter cold of the Russian winters, as seen in the concept exploration images in this post. Prepare yourself for all new tactics employed by the Russian army. Though the frost is cold, the steel is colder.
Thanks for reading – we hope you’re as excited for the road ahead as we are. Keep the feedback coming and we’ll see you on the battlefield.

Endeavour Rollout to Launch Pad 39A, Aug. 8, 1995
March 20, 2014 By TOM JONES Leave a Comment
Space Shuttle Endeavour launched on its STS-69 mission on September 7, 1995. The orbiter and stack had rolled back to the VAB on Aug. 1 to avoid the effets of Hurricane Erin. I was one of the capcoms (astronaut communicator working in Mission Control) for the mission, and I had never seen a space shuttle stack move out to the launch pad. So I took advantage of an invitation from the STS-69 crew (Dave Walker, Ken Cockrell, Jim Voss, Mike Gernhardt, and Jim Newman) to join them for the rollout. Our pair of T-38s headed from Ellington Field near Johnson Space Center for the Cape on the afternoon of Aug. 7, 1995.

After spending the night at astronaut crew quarters, we were up the next morning to join Endeavour on her roll to the pad, which had begun in darkness at 1:55 am. We drove out to the crawlerway, once the route of Saturn V moon rockets to the pad, catching a heart-stopping view of the shuttle stack about two-thirds of the way to Launch Pad 39A. We parked along the road to step aboard the Mobile Launch Platform and get up close to the orbiter I’d flown twice in the previous year (STS-59 and STS-68).
The STS-69 Endeavour stack plods toward Launch Pad 39A on 8/8/95. (Jones photo)
I had never boarded the MLP while in motion, but it was easy to jump aboard the gangway at its 1 mph pace along the crushed river stone of the crawlerway and climb to the deck. Here I was within touching distance of the Endeavour stack, this time unprotected from any pad structure, as on my prelaunch visits to my ship in 1994. Endeavour was independent and self-supported, gliding toward its appointment with orbit, oblivious of the human gnats buzzing around her with a Nikon draped around their necks.
An early morning view of Endeavour’s main and OMS engines from the mobile launcher deck. (Jones photo)
I think the focus on the above shot is a bit soft, due to the early morning light at the Cape–we got their shortly after dawn. The two tab-shaped gray structures on either side of the orbiter’s tail also belonged to the MLP. They housed the T-minus-zero umbilicals (“T-zero umbilicals” was how we said it), those clusters of gas, power, and propellant lines that fed into the ship on either side, just below the OMS pods. Through these umbilicals the external tank received its propellants, the orbiter received commands and electrical power and sent back telemetry, and its plumbing was furnished with gaseous nitrogen for purging the payload bay and engine compartment. At zero in the count, the umbilical panel was yanked away by a falling counterweight, retracted into the gray structure, and protected from the fierce exhaust blast by armored doors that slammed down over the now-recessed umbilical plate.
The “T-Zero” umbilical panels retract into these twin, armored gray towers flanking either side of Endeavour’s engine compartment. (Jones photo)
While pacing the MLP and craning my neck back to look up at Endeavour (as close as I’d been since my landing at Edwards on STS-68 the previous October), I had to get myself in the picture. I’d lived aboard this ship in space for three weeks in 1994, yet it was still hard to wrap my head around that reality. How is it possible that we could have hurled this entire machine into space at five miles per second, with six humans aboard, and brought it back safely to Earth? We have deliberately chosen to walk away from this national capability. Today, if we don’t choose to use these machines any longer, we must quickly–very quickly–develop an alternative national means to send our people to space. Not accelerating this development is sheer negligence on a national scale.
Tom Jones, who flew twice on Endeavour, stands beside the machine he can’t quite fully believe took him to space. (Jones photo)
We dropped back to Earth again, stepping onto the crawlerway for a few more photos as the mobile launcher neared the incline to the top of Pad 39A. These views just kept me grinning and shaking my head in awe. I will be similarly amazed when a mobile launcher carries the first Space Launch System booster to its pad.
The mobile launcher carries Endeavour to the base of the incline leading up to Pad 39A. (Jones photo)
Endeavour, OV-105, began its ascent of the ramp to 39A as I took up a perch on the Rotating Service Structure, seen to the left in the photo above. This was the rail-mounted “gantry” that would swing in behind the orbiter, once it was in position, and enclose most of the orbiter for protection from the weather. It would also provide clean-room access to the payload bay, enabling technicians to transfer payloads from a mobile canister from the RSS into the payload bay. For me, the top of the RSS provided a fantastic photo vantage point for me and the Nikon F4 I’d borrowed from the photo lab at JSC.

From atop the RSS I head the constant roar of the crawler’s diesels (in turn powering electric motors that drive the tracks) as it mounted the pad elevation.
Endeavour atop the MLP is pulling under my vantage point on the Rotating Service Structure. (Jones photo)
If there’s anything that will bring a grin to your face, it’s the sight of a spaceship almost imperceptibly rolling up alongside of you. The orbiter seemed to say: “Comin’ through! I’m headed for orbit. Stand aside!”
A look into the flame trench as Endeavour nears its parking spot atop the pad. Note the rail track which will permit the RSS to swing in behind the orbiter once it’s parked. (Jones photo)
Endeavour pulls even with the pad structure as I stood, amazed, just above the orbiter White Room level on the RSS.
The crawler carrying the MLP and Endeavour reaches its final parking position. (Jones photo)
Here, the crawler would lower the stack onto the four massive launch platform pedestals, then drive back down the incline for its next job. Back on the MLP deck, I got a look at the base of the external tank and its structural connections to the solid rocket boosters. Each booster is held to the platform by 4 massive bolts and nuts, which shatter under explosive detonations at T-minus-zero.
Endeavour’s body flap hangs below the ET, flanked by the solid rocket boosters. The gray piping dispenses the flood of sound suppression water at engine ignition. (Jones photo).
I flew home later that afternoon, with Ken Cockrell at the controls. I hope he’ll be able to figure out who the crew is in T-38 #907, based on the helmet colors in the photo. STS-69 launched on September 7, 1995:
Endeavour leaves Earth on September 7, 1995, for its 11-day mission. (NASA KSC-95EC-1301)
My thanks to the STS-69 crew for allowing me to share their orbiter’s rollout, and for inviting me to work with them as a capcom on their mission. Of course, Ken Cockrell and I flew together just 14 months later on STS-80. But that’s another story. See my website here for more details:

Last Nine Years
Exactly nine years ago today, on June 1 2006, I have joined CodeSourcery, as the first Eclipse engineer. I had zero Eclipse and Java experience, but knowing KDevelop and GDB was deemed sufficient. Look like I did passably well, and for my part, I’m happy to have played a small part in a huge change to open-source embedded development tools.
Every current GDB tutorial for embedded development say to just load your binary to the target. It was my first big project, in 2006, to make it work, since GDB knew nothing about flash memory. I’ve ended up teaching it about memory maps, translating memory writes into flash erase and programming operations, throwing together support for some ColdFire chip, and finally adding a single checkbox in the UI.
GDB non-stop mode was entirely done by CodeSourcery. In this mode, each thread can be independently stopped, and examined, while others are running. There I’ve contributed to asynchronous processing of commands and reworking breakpoint machinery. We’ve made GDB handle breakpoints in constructors and function templates, implemented tracepoints, and different flavours of OS awareness. I was also part of initial prototyping for Python scripting.
On Eclipse side, we made just as many changes, but had less luck submitting them upstream, so describing them is similar to a research paper - it tells what’s possible, but you’re on your own if you want an implementation. Still, we’ve made Eclipse scan for hardware debug device automatically, modified project wizard to include debug settings and create projects you can immediately debug, implemented a IDE editor for hardware board descriptions, and modified register view to effectively deal with thousands of memory-mapped registers. Among that, I did manage to create and submit a new Eclipse CDT view - OS Resources - that shows tables of different objects on the debugged system.
Between Eclipse and GDB, there’s a small interface called GDB/MI. It also saw significant changes, becoming less stateful, adding new notifications (so that Eclipse view don’t have to explicitly pull the data on each stop), and improving variable access methods.
In November 2010, CodeSourcery was acquired by Mentor Graphics and our product went on to became Sourcery CodeBench, the decision based in part on progress made by open-source tools in the previous years. Understably, a lot of work after that went into integration with other products - including Mentor’s hardware debug devices, profiling tools and Mentor Embedded Linux. Personally, I went on to lead the IDE team, learning how to run a full distributed team across 12 time zones. We were less active in the open-source for a while, but gradually returned, and one of the biggest recent contribution is a product installer based on Eclipse P2 we’ve announced in 2014.
And then technology went full circle. The most recent open-source contributions from CodeSourcery team are patches for LLDB-MI, a bridge between LLDB and Eclipse.
In 2006, I’ve joined CodeSourcery in part because at the previous position, there was no longer anything to learn. Over years, I worked with the best people in each area: Daniel Jacobowitz and Pedro Alves on GDB, Carlos O’Donnel on Glibc and GCC, Mikhail Khodjaiants on Eclipse and of course Mark Mitchell, CEO who wrote a C++ frontend once. It was a great experience. Now, it's time to learn something new. See you there!

4A baseball: Palmer Ridge looming in an open field
By Neil Devlin
Air Academy, Cheyenne Mountain, Class 4A, Green Mountain, Jefferson County, Mountain View, Pueblo West, Thomas Jefferson, Thompson Valley, Valor Christian, Wheat Ridge
[media-credit name=”Hyoung Chang, The Denver Post” align=”aligncenter” width=”495″]

Top-seeded Palmer Ridge looms, but Wheat Ridge is one of a handful of teams that will threaten for the 4A title.
Defending champion Mountain View didn’t make it, so which program is favored to take it all in Class 4A baseball?
Here are two words as a fair guess: Palmer Ridge.
With only a setback to Air Academy in the Colorado Springs Metro League during the regular season, the 20-1 Bears, featuring Ty Barkell and Steven Leonard, have been thorough.
However, there’s ample material in the 4A Championship Series, including Air Academy (17-4), which scored only six runs in two district games, yet were enough to down No. 22 Evergreen and No. 27 Delta.
The Jefferson County League still has three heavyweights alive — relatively new Valor Christian, which finished first in the league; ever-present and powerful Wheat Ridge; and Green Mountain, which has been itching to emerge and follow through when it most counts.
Pueblo West is fresh from a big victory over Thomas Jefferson, Thompson Valley has been mentioned by nearly every observer that has seen the Eagles and Cheyenne Mountain did not permit a run in 14 district innings.

Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson Says ADA Will Beat Facebook’s Libra In Emerging Markets
Cardano News Today – Everyone has been talking about the upcoming Facebook cryptocurrency, Libra. Apparently, this cryptocurrency is going to be a threat to traditional financial institutions and other cryptocurrencies according to members of the cryptocurrency community. The founders of blockchains, on the other hand, don’t feel the same way. As stated in our previous XRP news, the CEO of Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse has said that the emergence of the Facebook cryptocurrency is going to be a good thing for the cryptocurrency market. Now, Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson has said that he doesn’t believe Libra can overtake Facebook in emerging markets.
Cardano News Today – Cardano Price Prediction – Cardano Future Forecast – Cardano Vs. Libra In Emerging Markets
For a while now, Hoskinson has been traveling around the world and pitching Cardano’s technology to everyone who is willing to listen. Finance Magnets had the privilege of conducting an interview with Hoskinson at a Tel Aviv workshop. During the interview, the blockchain expert said that Facebook doesn’t have what it takes to overtake Cardano in the emerging markets. He also praised Israel as a talent hub. In his words;
“Israel is a good talent hub. There’s an amazing group of developers and scientists here. If you are doing anything in cryptography, technology or engineering, there’s probably an Israeli involved somewhere.”
Apparently, Hoskinson and his team are interested in getting feedback about the Cardano Shelley testnet which went live recently. As you probably already know, Cardano Shelley is the upgrade the entire Cardano community has been waiting for. When it is complete, the blockchain will become 100% decentralized according to Charles Hoskinson. This will give it an edge over Ethereum and other rival blockchains.
Cardano (ADA) Price Today – ADA / USD
$0.101379 6.44%
Regarding Cardano’s interest in emerging markets, Hoskinson said that IOHK is paying special attention to emerging markets because these places hold the largest opportunity for cryptocurrencies to thrive. In his words;
“Emerging markets are where cryptocurrencies matter. When I look at the developed world, I don’t care. It’s highly regulated and, in many cases, a rigged system. If I decide to compete with a tech company they can just push me out via regulation. Then I sit down with the prime minister of Georgia and he says, ‘we’re open for business. We can rebuild parts of their education infrastructure, create a new payments system or do a medical records system. The keys to the kingdom are right there. That’s 4 million people who in ten or twenty years will be very high-value users.”
You’ll recall that Facebook specifically said that it’s cryptocurrency is going to target emerging markets in the developing world. Regarding this new competition, he said;
“I live this market. And I can tell you, the U.S. government, by definition the most powerful entity in the world, finds it difficult to make payments into Ethiopia. If they’re struggling, how is a private company going to do it? I am not entering a market and looking to extract value from people. Facebook has to come into countries it doesn’t know a lot about and convince them to enslave themselves to an economic monopoly and give nothing in return. And their only pitch is that you’ll pay less on fees.”
He continued;
“I’m going there and saying, ‘we’re going to rebuild all your systems so you have fraud-free land registration, better voting systems and improved supply chains.’ We’re already doing this stuff but it took years. These are relationship-based markets – and Facebook doesn’t have those relationships. We spent a year and a half in Ethiopia just training a small group of female developers. Most people assume that’s easy. No, we had to work extremely hard just to sign an MoU with the Ministry of Innovation and Technology. They didn’t really believe in us, so we had to earn [their trust]. Then after we did it, they said, ‘we like these guys’ and let us do what we do. It’s not ‘don’t be evil,’ it’s ‘can’t be evil”.
What do you think? Will Cardano beat Facebook in the race to dominate emerging markets? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

US CFTC Approves LedgerX’s Application for Designation As Contract Market
LedgerX, a U.S.-based regulated crypto derivatives and clearing platform, has received CFTC approval to operate as a designated contract market.
The United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has approved the application of LedgerX LLC for designation as a contract market, according to an announcement published on June 25.
LedgerX — a U.S.-based regulated crypto derivatives and clearing platform — can operate as a designated contract market (DCM) as of June 24, 2019. The company’s activities will be registered under Section 5 of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and Part 38 of the CFTC’s regulations.
Registration as a DCM will require that LedgerX maintain compliance with all applicable provisions of the CEA and CFTC regulations. “LedgerX has requested that the CFTC amend its order of registration as a DCO, which limits LedgerX to clearing swaps, to allow it to clear futures listed on its DCM,” the announcement further reads.
LedgerX initially applied for a designated contract market license that would allow it to launch the new futures product in April. LedgerX’s co-founder Juthica Chou said at the time:
"We've long had the goal to expand the range of customers we can serve beyond our institutional base — it's the natural next step for us. Omni, by interfacing with our existing institutional liquidity pool, will offer retail customers a top tier experience from day one."
Earlier in June, institutional cryptocurrency platform Bakkt announced that it will begin testing its first product, physically-delivered bitcoin (BTC) futures on July 22. “This launch will usher in a new standard for accessing crypto markets. Compared to other markets, institutional participation in crypto remains constrained due to limitations like market infrastructure and regulatory certainty,” the company’s chief operating officer Adam White said.

Scholar Zahra Jamal returns to Chautauqua to highlight spirituality of Muslim food rituals
by Delaney Van Wey on August 22, 2017 2.43K views
Zahra Jamal fell in love with Chautauqua as a girl over a lemon poppy seed muffin and the inspiring speakers in the Interfaith Lecture Series.
Wednesday, many years later, Jamal is returning to Chautauqua Institution to stand on the other side of the podium to talk about how Muslims value food. Jamal, associate director at Rice University’s Boniuk Institute for Religious Tolerance, will speak on “Food for the Soul: A Muslim Perspective” at 2 p.m. Wednesday in the Hall of Philosophy.
“In Islam, food, like health, is a divine gift to be cared for, nurtured and shared for the betterment of society,” Jamal said.
As part of Week Nine’s interfaith theme, “Food and Faith,” Jamal will discuss five main topics in the relationship between Islam and food. The first is how food builds communities during the annual rituals of Nawruz, Ramadan and Hajj.
These food rituals were influential in Jamal’s youth, she said, reciting fond memories of waking up before dawn to pray and eat with her family before beginning the fast during Ramadan and breaking it after dusk with her community. When she went away to college, she celebrated Eid with friends with traditional foods like biryani and kheer.
Zahra Jamal
However, Jamal said, some of her favorite childhood memories were the everyday family dinners. Related to this are two of Jamal’s other lecture topics: how breaking bread can help create dialogue, and how food symbolically and literally nourishes people. Part of this is eating mindfully, which Jamal said Muslim people take seriously.
“When partaking in a meal, most Muslims clean their hands, body and mind, as well as offer a prayer of gratitude for God’s bounty and blessings both before and after eating,” Jamal said.
During their family dinners, Jamal’s father also sparked her interest in studying Islam by regaling the family with narratives from Islamic history.
Jamal went on to study Middle Eastern and Islamic studies for her undergraduate degree. Then, as a graduate student at Harvard University, she focused on the anthropology of Muslim communities.
At Rice University, Jamal now educates students about religious tolerance and civic engagement in the Islamic world, on which she has advised the United Nations and the U.S. State Department.
Although developing Wednesday’s lecture pushed Jamal outside of her usual research area, she will incorporate her expertise by discussing how Muslim dynasties advanced agricultural production and examples of Muslim civil society organizations that are tackling the global hunger crisis.
Jamal said she is excited to return to Chautauqua to join the ranks of esteemed speakers who have lectured at the Hall of Philosophy. During her youth, she came to Chautauqua often with her family because her uncle, Habibullah Jamal, was instrumental in developing the original Interfaith Lecture Series.
Jamal will contribute an important perspective on food and faith during the week as an expert on Islam, which has many unique food rituals. These include eating dates to break the fast of Ramadan, as the Prophet Muhammad did, and eating Halal meat, which means the animal is sacrificed humanely. Both of these are deeply spiritual customs tied to the Quran.
“In my view, as a Muslim, symbolic and physical nourishment are deeply spiritual, environmental and moral acts that enable the subordination of the ego, the cultivation of communal life and identity, and the connection to creator and creation,” Jamal said.

Threadless: Achieve Your Dreams and more new this week
Achieve Your Dreams by Steven Rhodes (blue sparrow) is my favorite Threadless design this week. I love the way it interprets a common phrase in the most literal way possible, giving it an opposite meaning to what is traditionally intended. It’s the sort of juxtaposition that ends up being surprisingly thought provoking- after all, why do we mean grandiose accomplishment when we speak of dreams instead of the kind of everyday choice that can make your life measurably better, like getting a good night’s sleep? Of course, this is also a very funny scenario, especially in the way the thought bubble’s slumber seems deeper and more restful, so it should appeal to a large audience.
Simple Leaves by Ronan Lyman (RonanL) has the feel of a nature study, with leaves of all different typed carefully arranged and recorded down to each vein and bend of the stem. The dashed pattern of the background marks it as an illustrator’s investigation rather than a scientific one, something aimed at a certain playfulness rather than strict accuracy. The golds and reds of the color palette make it a perfect fit for autumn. There’s a lot to like, but one choice keeps me from being fully on board- the rectangular dimensions of the art. The way the dashed lines of the background mark out a solid rectangle keeps the design from feeling truly organic, and I don’t think there’s enough height to the shape to keep it from filling the shirt awkwardly, with a ton of empty space below the art that looks accidental rather than purposeful. It leaves me wishing that the art repeated to form an all-over pattern, because the illustration is great, there’s just not enough of it!
Small Fortune by Cody Weiler (csweiler) definitely uses white space to its advantage, choosing to display its art as a small, circular pocket print. I love this choice because it mirrors the experience of an actual fortune cookie where you have to expend some effort to get to the fortune inside. Here, instead of breaking open a cookie, you have to lean in to read the small print- and much like many real fortune cookies, the message of the future it’s delivering is not really what you hoped for. I like how instead of vague and lukewarm, as real fortunes often are, this one is outright hostile. Capping off the message with a little frowny face just makes the whole scenario even funnier.
Squirming Smiles by Mat Voyce (MatVoyce) is the kind of all-over print I love to see, bright and abstract. It reminds me of Keith Haring in its frenetic, joyful motion, with lines that almost seem to be dancing. I like that, although the lines are very bold and simple, there’s still an element of detail to the piece- each line has brush strokes visible at either end. It’s a nice touch that makes the art feel a bit more handcrafted.
The Procrastinator by Grant Shepley (Gamma-Ray) turns The Thinker on its head, transforming the famous statue from a deep thinker into a shallow one, concerned with the number of likes on his social media account. The clash is highlighted by a switch in style, from a rough, black and white, craggy treatment of the statue to the clean, color notification on the phone. The only element I’m not fully convinced about is the drip motif, which trickles down from various areas of dark shadows. To me, it confuses the piece a bit because it breaks the illusion of the realistic statue, and doesn’t add enough visually to be worth that break in style.
Threadless prints new shirts every week, chosen from the designs submitted by and voted on by site members. Most winners earn $1 minimum per item sold (learn more about Threadless artist payments).
