Nathan Hale was a lieutenant in the Continental Army. In his early twenties, Hale had worked as a schoolteacher before the Revolution. In late September 1776 he volunteered to cross the British lines and travel to Long Island in order to gather intelligence. Unfortunately, his mission was soon discovered and he was captured by the British. Taken to General Howe's headquarters (commander of the British forces) in New York, the young spy was interrogated and executed near the present intersection of East Broadway and Market Streets, on September 22.
Word of the execution was brought to General Washington's headquarters shortly after by a British officer carrying a flag of truce. Captain William Hull of the Continental Army was present and recalled the event:
"In a few days an officer came to our camp, under a flag of truce, and informed Hamilton, then a captain of artillery, but afterwards the aid of General Washington, that Captain Hale had been arrested within the British lines condemned as a spy, and executed that morning.
I learned the melancholy particulars from this officer, who was present at his execution and seemed touched by the circumstances attending it.
He said that Captain Hale had passed through their army, both of Long Island and York Island. That he had procured sketches of the fortifications, and made memoranda of their number and different positions. When apprehended, he was taken before Sir William Howe, and these papers, found concealed about his person, betrayed his intentions. He at once declared his name, rank in the American army, and his object in coming within the British lines.
Nathan Hale Tried, Convicted and Executed by a "Military Commission"
Sir William Howe, without the form of a trial, gave orders for his execution the following morning. He was placed in the custody of the Provost Marshal, who was a refugee and hardened to human suffering and every softening sentiment of the heart. Captain Hale, alone, without sympathy or support, save that from above, on the near approach of death asked for a clergyman to attend him. It was refused. He then requested a Bible; that too was refused by his inhuman jailer.
'On the morning of his execution,' continued the officer, 'my station was near the fatal spot, and I requested the Provost Marshal to permit the prisoner to sit in my marquee, while he was making the necessary preparations. Captain Hale entered: he was calm, and bore himself with gentle dignity, in the consciousness of rectitude and high intentions.
He asked for writing materials, which I furnished him: he wrote two letters, one to his mother and one to a brother officer.' He was shortly after summoned to the gallows. But a few persons were around him, yet his, characteristic dying words were remembered. He said, 'I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.'"

7 Movies Where The Beatles Music Was The Major Selling Point
All you need is hits.
1964 was the first year people tried to convert the popularity of The Beatles into box office success. A Hard Days Night was an attempt by United Artists to cash in on the four lads from Liverpool and their “Mersey sound” before the bubble burst.
As the decade wore on and Beatlemania refused to become a passing fad the band were given several more star vehicles. The last of these was 1970s Let It Be, which won an Oscar for its soundtrack.
Documenting the band’s breakup and capturing their final live performance from a Savile Row rooftop, there was an air of finality to Let It Be. With no more Beatles, there would no more Beatle movies, right?
Wrong. There was plenty of juice left in one of music’s most remarkable back catalogues. Whether capitalising on baby boomer nostalgia or appealing to a whole new generation of fans, The Beatles remain a money-making machine. One that film makers have been happy to benefit from over the years.
The films on this list range from your classic jukebox musical to films that are altogether weirder but each of them relies on the enduring quality and popularity of Beatlemusic.

Violence and War, Africa’s twin evils
It seemed as though Africa was set to embrace meaningful transformation. But perhaps we were all too busy approving frameworks and strategies centred on the need for real structural transformation to realise that the African story line is still not sanguine. Huge differences in the distribution and exercise of political and economic power have resulted in violent conflicts and the key economic locomotives of this continent have been choked.

Internet in Colombia
Title: Internet in Colombia
Subject: Internet in Colombia, Communications in Colombia, Internet by country, Internet in Venezuela, Internet in Brazil
Collection: Communications in Colombia, Internet by Country, Internet in Colombia
Access to the Internet in Colombia shows a marked increase during the last few years. As of September 2009, the web connections surpassed two million,[1] as compared with an estimated total of 900,000 Internet subscribers by the end of 2005. The current figure equated to 17 millions Internet users, plus 3.8 millions of mobile internet users, or 38.5 percent of the 2009 population, as compared with 4,739,000 Internet users in 2005, or 11.5 percent of the 2005 population (10.9 per 100 inhabitants).[2] Colombia had 581,877 Internet hosts in 2006.[2] This represents an overall growt of 54 percent each year, the highest in Latin America.[3] Although as many as 70 percent of Colombians accessed the Internet over their ordinary telephone lines, dial-up access is losing ground to broadband.[2] In 2005 Colombia had 345,000 broadband subscriber lines, or one per 100 inhabitants.[2] In 2006 the number of personal computers per 1,000 people increased to an estimated 87 per 1,000 inhabitants, a rate still below that in other large Latin American economies.[2] As of 2009, Colombia duplicated the number of personal computers reaching 26.3 percent, as compared with the rest of Latin America which showed a decreasing trend (being Argentina and Mexico the only other country with positive growth, showing a 2.3 increase).[4]

Broadband Internet access 2
National players 2.1
Regional players 2.2
The first approximation to internet made by Colombia was in 1988 with the creation of RDUA, a local network, by University of the Andes, Colombia, then in 1994 the same university is entrusted by a group of other Colombian universities and some government agencies to become the first Internet Service Provider in the country, on June 4, 1994, the first signal coming from Homestead, FL was received, this signal was sent through IMPSAT satellite service to a hill in Bogotá (Cerro de Suba), then redirected to Bogotá's tallest building (Torre Colpatria) and finally to the university campus .[5]
Broadband Internet access has been available in Colombia since 1997. The service was originally charged in American dollars, remaining expensive. The pioneers in broadband access in Colombia were University of the Andes and Cable operator TV Cable S.A both based in Bogotá, Colombia.
From 1997 to 2001, only the cities of Bogotá and Bucaramanga had broadband Cable Internet access, although during that time, the service remained expensive and was only available in the richest neighbourhoods.
In the year 2001, ADSL Internet access appeared in Colombia. The appearance of ADSL Internet access meant a commercial war between the Telecom companies and the cable operators (mainly in Bogotá and Bucaramanga). For some strange reason, Bogotá, the largest city by size in Colombia, and Bucaramanga, the sixth city by size, have been the only cities where Cable and ADSL operators are available throughout the whole city at the same time. Nowadays the fiercest battles to attract broadband users are in Bogotá and Bucaramanga.
Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla, and Cartagena the second, third, fourth and fifth cities by population in Colombia have only one ADSL operator that reaches the city as a whole. This means the ADSL operator and the cable operators are not competing directly in those cities so that tariffs are higher than in Bogotá or Bucaramanga.
With respect to all the cities below one million inhabitants, ADSL broadband access is available through Colombia-Telecom (50% owned by Colombian Government and 50% owned by Telefónica from Spain). Because in these cities and towns the only broadband provider is Colombia-Telecom the service remains expensive.
Note: As of late (2007) Telefónica Colombia has expanded DSL operations to all Capital and Major cities and all cities with a main office and a main satellite.
In Colombia there are three national ADSL and WiMax Broadband Providers. They hold monopoly positions in every city, with the notable exception of Bogotá.
With respect to Broadband Cable Providers, each one of them is available only in their native city, and constitutes a monopoly in its respective city.

Regional players
TV Cable SA
It has a mayor share on the cable broadband access in Bogotá. This company focuses on the richest neighbourhoods of Bogotá, and has found its market niche in the wealthy parts of Bogotá, mainly the northern part. Although it is a local player, it is the most technologically advanced broadband provider in Colombia.
It was bought by Telmex Colombia S.A. when it entered business in Colombia.
CableCentro
It has a minor share of CABLE broadband access in most of the cities above 100 000 in Colombia.
Cable Union de Occidente
It has nearly monopolistic share of CABLE Broadband Access in Cali
TV Cable Promision SA (completely unrelated with TV Cable SA)
It has nearly monopolistic share of CABLE Broadband Access in Bucaramanga
Dinanet
It has monopolistic share of CABLE Broadband Access in Barranquilla
Telecom Occidente
Colombia's largest fixed wireless dual-play provider. Regionally focused on Cundinamarca.
There are no government restrictions on access to the Internet or credible reports that the government monitors e-mail or Internet chat rooms. Individuals and groups engage in the expression of views via the Internet, including by e-mail.[6] However, journalists in Colombia have long been targets of a range of attempts to obstruct or limit speech, from government threats to withhold publication licenses to outright intimidation and physical violence. Journalists in Colombia are threatened, physically attacked, or murdered. For journalists working in Latin America, death threats are commonplace. Because of threats from local drug cartels or other gangs and individuals, many journalists practice self-censorship, including many in Colombia who avoid reporting on corruption, drug trafficking, or violence by armed groups because of such threats.[7]
Colombia was classified as engaged in selective Internet filtering in the social area with little or no evidence of filtering in the political, conflict/security, or Internet tools areas by the OpenNet Initiative in 2011.[8]
Colombian law requires ISPs to monitor their content and report any illegal activity to the government. Colombia’s “Internet Sano” (healthy Internet) campaign calls for public education on “decent” ways of using the Internet as well as penalties for improper use. Some websites are blocked as part of the Internet Sano program, including various large adult entertainment websites which don't contain any illegal child pornography. Child pornography is illegal in Colombia.[7]
ONI testing on two Colombian ISPs revealed evidence of one blocked website; the government has also taken measures aimed at reducing children’s exposure to online pornography. The government has passed laws addressing online privacy, electronic surveillance, and cybercrime, although Colombia’s national intelligence service has reportedly engaged in extrajudicial surveillance. A pending law governing digital copyright, which was proposed as a measure of compliance with Colombia’s free trade agreement with the United States, is currently being contested at the Supreme Court by advocates who assert that the law violates the country’s constitution by limiting citizens’ rights to access information.[9]
In December 2009, an internaute was sent to prison for threatening president Álvaro Uribe's sons.[10]

Where’s the evidence? Healthcare unicorns lack the proof and credibility of peer-reviewed studies.
January 30, 2019 | by Donna Cusano | No Comments
Another sign that too many healthcare unicorns are decoupled from the rock-solid fundamental reality–that they work. Healthcare unicorns–those startups valued over $1 bn–are unicorns because they have patents, processes, or a line of business that has immense potential to be profitable. The standard in healthcare, unlike other tech, is the peer-reviewed study. Is this process or device effective based upon the study? Does this drug looks like it will work? Is this study validating, encouraging? Peer-reviewed research takes place before a drug or device goes into clinical trials — a precursor. It ensures a certain level of disclosure, validation, and transparency at an early stage.
Instead, these unicorns largely rely on ‘stealth research’–a term coined by Dr. John P.A. Ioannidis, the co-director of the Meta-Research Innovation Center at Stanford University (METRICS). He summed it up in his latest peer-reviewed paper, “Stealth research: lack of peer-reviewed evidence from healthcare unicorns” (co-authored with Ioana A. Cristea and Eli M. Cahan), published in the European Journal of Clinical Investigation 28 Jan:
In 2014, one of us (JPAI) wrote a viewpoint article coining the term “stealth research” for touted biomedical innovation happening outside the peer-reviewed literature in a confusing mix of “possibly brilliant ideas, aggressive corporate announcements, and mass media hype.”
The term ‘stealth research’ was prompted to the author by the practices of Theranos–ironically, a company that started and was funded in the Stanford nexus. By the time Dr. Ioannidis’ viewpoint paper was published in JAMA in Feb 2015, Theranos had ballooned to a $9 bn valuation. His paper was the first to question Theranos’ science–and Theranos aggressively pushed back against Dr. Ioannidis, including their general counsel attempting to convince the author to recant his own writing. Three years later, we know the outcome.
This latest study concludes that there is a real dearth of peer-reviewed research among healthcare unicorns–and that it’s detrimental. It measured whether these unicorns published peer-reviewed articles and whether they publish highly-cited (in other publications) articles; compared them against companies with lower valuations; and whether founders or board members themselves impacted the scientific literature through their own citations.
The meta-study looked at 18 current and 29 exited healthcare unicorns. Highlights:
Two companies–23andMe and Adaptive Biotechnologies published almost half of all unicorn papers–196 combined
Three unicorns (Outcome Health, GuaHao and Oscar Health) had no published papers, and two more (Clover Health, Zocdoc) had published just one
Seven of the exited unicorns had zero to one papers
In fact, ‘there was a negative, non-statistically significant association between company valuation and number of published or highly-cited papers’
As our Readers know, Outcome Health had a little problem around artificially inflated advertising placement wrapped in health ed and placed in doctors’ offices [TTA 29 Jan 18]. Oscar and Clover Health are insurers. Zocdoc…well, we know their business model is to get as many doctors to sign up in their scheduling app and pay as much as possible. But it’s the drug and device companies that are especially worrisome in a stealth research model. The paper points out among other examples StemCentrx, bought for $10.2 bn in 2016 by AbbVie for its Rova T targeted antibody drug for cancer treatment, was halted at Phase III because it was not effective. Acerta Pharma, also focused on cancer treatments, was bought by AstraZeneca for $7.3 bn; two years ago, AstraZeneca had to withdraw the Acerta data and admit that Acerta falsified preclinical data for its drug.
The conclusions are that healthcare unicorns contribute minimally to relevant, high-impact published research, and that greater scrutiny by the scientific community through peer-reviewed research is needed to ensure credibility for the underlying work by these startups. “There is no need for numerous papers. Discrete pivotal, high-impact articles would suffice.”
This Editor returns to #5 on Rock Health’s Bubble Meter: high valuations decoupled from fundamentals. Based on this, the lack of publishing represents risk–to investors and to patients who would benefit from better vetted treatments. To these companies, however, the risk is in having their technology or researched poached–as well as the investment in time and money research represents.
The study authors point out several ways to minimize the risk, including collaborating with academic centers in research, validation without disclosing all technical details, secure patents, and contributing their technology to other research. A higher-risk way is to “withhold significant publications until successful validation from agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA)” but usually investors won’t wait that long. ‘Stealth Research’ paper, TechCrunch review Hat tip to David Albert, MD, of AliveCor via Twitter
Soapbox: Big Genomics and DNA testing–why we need a Genomic Data Bill of Rights
[grow_thumb image=”http://telecareaware.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/DNA-do-not-access.jpg” thumb_width=”150″ /]This week, consumer genomics testing company 23andMe announced that outside app developers would no longer have access to raw genomic data, as they have had since 2012. They will continue to have access to data through reports generated by the company. 23andMe cited privacy concerns–wisely, in this Editor’s opinion, to safeguard this burgeoning area of digital health. Seeking Alpha
TimiHealth is an affected firm that seeks to move customer data, with consent, to an allegedly more secure blockchain platform, TimiDNA, citing 23andMe’s monetization of their data and CMS’ Blue Button initiative, a recent meeting in which 23andMe participated as a developer. Blasting away, TimiHealth stated that “It flies in the face of the mission of CMS, and the MyHealthEData initiative and the goal of putting patients first.” Release
However, the consumer marketing of DNA testers such as 23andMe, Ancestry.com, and smaller competitor Helix, has already led to multiple privacy questions on how the data of millions are being used and sold.
This Editor would feel safe in assuming that most customers do not know nor particularly care that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) as of July owns 50 percent of 23andMe via a $300 million investment. Both have announced a four-year partnership to use the 23andMe genetic database for drug research. For instance, the LRRK2 gene has been linked to some forms of Parkinson’s disease. GSK needs about 100 for a trial sample of one, but 23andMe has already provided 250 Parkinson’s patients who have agreed to be re-contacted for GlaxoSmithKline’s clinical trials. Scientific American
While most data is de-identified, you can agree to be contacted for further use in clinical trials, which is fine–but most users do not know how to opt out. It’s a surprisingly tricky process, as outlined in this useful Business Insider article, and you may not be able to withdraw all your data or have your saliva sample destroyed.
Data can be hacked and reprocessed. Three years ago, TTA explored reports on exactly how de-identified genomic data could be made identifiable through the ‘nefarious use’ of genomic data sets available through research networks [TTA 31 Oct 15].
Despite the trite, simplistic, and condescending commercials by Ancestry.com on how someone found they had ethnic or national roots they never dreamed of, or were related to royalty, both giving meaning to their presumably mundane life, genetic info has value beyond the feel-good. It’s long past time for a plain language Genomic Data Bill of Rights.
Individuals should know how their personal genomic data is being used and how it is being protected
They should be able to opt out of use, identified and de-identified, easily–and not have to jump through hoops
Reporting/interpretation should also have integrity, consideration, and respect that it may upset a person or that it may not be interpreted correctly, which is a fundamental problem
A more radical view is that the same individuals should be compensated when their data is used
This Editor will settle for the first two bullets, for now.
StartUp Health’s Q3 is an even crazier $9bn YTD
October 11, 2017 | by Donna Cusano | No Comments
And you thought Q2 was ‘crazy’? There’s no cooling in StartUp Health’s reported digital health funding activity in Q3, which at $9bn is already past 2016’s $8.1bn and is poised to cross the $10bn bar by end of year.
Q3 charted $2.5bn in funding, less than Q2 ($3.8bn) but above Q3 2016 ($2.2bn).
Series C and D deals led the funding charge at 15 percent of deals, with Series D on average $113 million. It’s an indicator of market maturity, though A rounds were still in the lead at 35 percent and 21 percent in Series B.
Deals are bigger than ever at an average $18 million versus $14 million in 2016
Half the deals they tracked were in personalized health and patient/consumer experience, a distinct difference from Rock Health’s shift to B2B. Population health held its own.
They tracked more mega-deals YTD due to broader category and ex-US. Rock Health’s lead this quarter of 23andMe was only #6 on the list, surpassed by Auris, Peloton, Guardant Health, Outcome Health, and Grail.
The Bay Area leads for deals substantially YTD, with NYC, Boston, and Chicago combined still trailing
Remember that StartUp Health takes a wider sample than Rock Health [TTA 3 Oct], tracking over 500 international company deals, including those below $2 million as well as both service and biotech/diagnostic companies. StartUp Health on Slideshare.
Rock Health’s Q3 report: funding and mega-deals cool down
October 3, 2017 | by Donna Cusano | No Comments
Too hot not to cool down? This year’s digital health funding, as reported by Rock Health, may be ‘just one of those things’ depending on what happens next quarter. After a torrid Q2 which brought first half 2017 to an explosive $3.5 bn [TTA 11 July], Q3 added only $1.2 bn for a total $4.7 bn. Bear in mind that this is larger than the full years of 2014-2016, and that Rock Health tracks only US deals over $2 million in value from venture capital, excluding government and grant funding. Rock Health’s report concentrates on deal sizes, trends, and types of companies. Here’s what this Editor found to be interesting:
Here’s what this Editor found to be interesting:
Number of deals is at a record: 268 digital health funding deals across 261 companies. In 2016, 240 digital health venture deals had closed by the end of Q3 in 2016.
Few mega-deals this quarter: The only ones are 23andMe with a $250 million round in September followed by cancer data company Tempus’ $70M Series C round. Average deal size dropped to $14.6 million. The cooling is great enough for Rock Health to predict that there may not be any IPOs this year–23andMe was considered the leading candidate but instead went for another round.
16 percent of companies funded in Q3 are led by women CEOs, up from 11 percent. Of course, this is influenced by 23andMe’s founder/CEO Anne Wojcicki. But almost more importantly, there’s been a breakthrough in that women’s and reproductive health companies continue to gain funding traction, and most are led by women.
The two top categories for funding through Q3 are consumer: health information and personal health and tracking tools.
Yet companies are shifting to a B2B business model from B2C, with 23andMe in the lead targeting drug discovery via the Genentech deal they have had for a long time. 61 percent of digital health startups that Rock Health tracks converted from B2C to B2B. No surprise to this Editor as consumer adoption is a slow and costly road.
Exits are also cooling down as long-cycle reality hits. The ‘nine-inning ball game’ stated by an investor is, given healthcare’s long cycles, regulation, and slow adoption, is more like 15.
Some recovery in public companies making money in earnings per share (EPS). Teladoc‘s recovered, while NantHealth continues in the doldrums. (Perhaps it’s Cher suing Patrick Soon-Shiong?)
Awaiting StartUp Health‘s always numerically bigger report, but this Editor’s bet is that it won’t be ‘crazy’ like Q2 [TTA 15 July]. Rock Health Q3 report.
Care Innovations’ Slovenski, 23andMe’s Schwartz move to Healthways
Breaking News: Healthways, an online wellness program company based in Nashville, this morning announced that two executives well known to many of us in digital health have joined them. Sean Slovenski, CEO of Intel-GE Care Innovations, is now their President, Population Health Services. Steve Schwartz, their new SVP Strategy and Corporate Development, joins the company from VP Business Development and Strategy, 23andMe.
Mr Slovenski’s track record in 2.5 years at CI certainly impressed this Editor (formerly with the developer of their behavioral telemonitoring system bequeathed from GE Healthcare, QuietCare) with turning around the company from an outpost of Intel and GEHC having difficulty transitioning from ancient technology (remember the Intel Health Guide?) to a telehealth platform dubbed Health Harmony. He also put together a team that engineered multiple academic and health system alliances, along with an interesting turn into home digital health certification. While he came to CI from health insurance giant Humana in Louisville Kentucky running their behavioral health and wellness businesses, his prior experience includes both entrepreneurial turns at his own company and with smaller companies. He most recently engineered a Louisville outpost of CI [TTA 14 Oct 15]. Since Mr Slovenski is still listed on the CI website as CEO, this may have been a quickly executed move.
Mr Schwartz’s business development background includes long stints at two large healthcare companies, Allscripts (EHRs and practice management software) and LabCorp (lab testing). He weathered 23andMe’s FDA troubles and headed up their B2B sales area. Healthways release
Unusually, Healthways is a NASDAQ traded company that closed at $12.11 today in a down market. It’s old (in our terms) having been founded in 1981, becoming publicly traded ten years later. Its last round of venture financing was $20 million from CareFirst BlueCross Blue Shield in October 2013 (CrunchBase). Healthways has a fairly new CEO as well, who joined last August and obviously feels comfortable adding to his team.
Rounding up the funding rounds of 2015–and the deals some would like to see (?)
December 30, 2015 | by Donna Cusano | No Comments
Mobihealthnews rounded up 2015’s hot funding in the mobile health/health tech-related space, with helpful links to their articles. They cite as we have previously [TTA 16 Dec] Rock Health‘s flattish year-to-year 2015 total of $4.3 bn, but also StartUp Health’s bloom-off-rose 2015 digital health total of $5.8 bn–larger than Rock Health’s tote, but 17 percent off their 2014 total of $7 bn. If you consider the proportions: the top 10 deals raised $738 million–$130 million alone to the endlessly funded but yet to take over the world ZocDoc –the roster below $20m remains the longest, which is completely in accord with the lower part of Rock Health’s pyramid of angel-A-B rounds.
Yet Aditi Pai’s detailed summary strikes this Editor as useful in an unanticipated way. There is a certain sameness in the products and services of these companies, as if funders are seeking validation in similarity. ZocDoc, DoctoLib and Vitals–doctor profiles and appointment booking. Sharecare, Welltok, Novu, Noom, AbilTo, SocialWellth, Health Recovery Solutions, Jiff–health and wellness engagement programs/apps, many for corporate programs. Whoop, Sano, Sproutling, TuringSensor, Valencell, Moff and four others–wearables. Hello, Sleepace, Sproutling (baby)–sleep tracking. Klara, SkinVision, Spruce–dermatology apps. Beyond the gloomy forecast for unicorns (Theranos being the Child on the Milk Carton), how many of these corporate wellness programs, sleep trackers and wearables will be around in 2017? Mobihealthnews’ 2015 funding roundup.
MedCityNews takes a lighter-hearted (I think) look at 2016 deals. IBM would buy athenahealth mainly for its EHR and practice management data, plus data aggregator Validic, to beef up Watson; 23andMe, past its two years of troubles after stepping on FDA Superman’s cape, would buy PatientsLikeMe (endangering its community shaped credibility? 23PatientsLikeMe?) and the best–Theranos bought by Boston Heart Diagnostics/Eurofin (EU lab testing giant), which would reduce this unicorn to a pony…but one that might make it. Theranos also made VentureBeat’s list of Likely Carcasses in the Valley of Unicorn Death (to quote the article’s author). Chris Seper’s Deals He’d Like To See.
Silicon Valley’s betting on ‘citizen doctors’, ‘citizen science’ and useful data
A fascinating and slightly cynical overview of Silicon Valley’s ideological view of health tech that will fix our ‘deeply flawed healthcare system’ and what is getting funded (or not) is in next month’s San Francisco magazine. It profiles the ‘citizen doctor’ founders of vital signs ‘tricorder’ Scanadu (Sam–who’s not often mentioned–and Walter De Brouwer), bacteria tracker uBiome, ‘personal data recorder’ and experience charter We Are Curious (founded by Linda Avey, a long-departed co-founder of 23andme) and touches on the Theranos debacle. While these stories are bracing and in the instance of the De Brouwers, courageous, the notion of ‘citizen science’ (defined as direct-to-consumer health data) and its companion, Dr Eric Topol’s patient-centered/controlled medicine, has its drawbacks, viewed through the slightly gimlety ‘digital doctor’ eye of UC San Francisco’s Dr Robert Wachter. “The overarching message—not just from Theranos but from other companies struggling to get a toehold—is that, ultimately, the laws of economic gravity hold. The companies will have to produce products that add real value, either to patients or to payers. If they don’t, the market—or the regulators—won’t treat them kindly.” Flatly, there aren’t enough Quantified Selfers right now to support these companies. And Mr Market is a hard master. 23andme is back in the good graces of the FDA after a two-year scuffle and back doing direct response TV here in the US. Scanadu’s two products, Vitals (formerly Scout) and Urine are still not through the long slog of FDA clearance. The jury’s out on Theranos. And all these companies, including ‘unicorn’ Theranos, are bleeding cash and nowhere near turning a profit. ModernLuxury. Hat tip to Dr Topol via Twitter, who had a patient-centered conversation with Dr Wachter that we covered back in September. Another recent podcast with Dr Wachter is here (Community Health Center radio).
Update: ‘Citizen science’ is nothing new, as revealed by the Science Museum (London)–it’s over 300 years old. While it entered the OED in 2014, ‘in 1715, Edmund Halley used Philosophical Transactions to ask colleagues to help him observe a total solar eclipse, prompting observers from all over the country to respond.’ Other examples are from Benjamin Robins in the same publication in 1749 on fireworks, Charles Darwin and evolution, to the present day. The difference is the flow–similar to what we now call crowdsourcing versus the individual using the data to affect their care.
2015 digital health VC funding flat, consolidations nearly double: Rock Health
Rock Health published yesterday their 2015 annual Digital Health Funding report, and perhaps it is good news that 2015 activity maintained the blazing 2014 total at $4.3 bn. Still, it represents a compound annual growth (CAGR) from 2011-2015 of 30 percent.
Consumer digital health is thriving, with healthcare consumer engagement, personal health tools and tracking accounting for 23 percent of overall funding. Two of the six largest deals were won by consumer-driven genetic companies, 23andMe and Helix.
The one new record was that there were 278 deals across 248 companies, with an record-breaking average deal size of $15.6m. What continued is that the vast majority of funding deals (70 percent) were Series B and below, but C and C+ deals increased slightly. It was also a big year for exits. M&A activity nearly doubled in volume with 180 deals and $6B in disclosed activity. Their index comprising shares of publicly traded digital health companies was off over 5 percent with two of this year’s IPOs trading lower than their opening prices.
According to the Rock Health newsletter, early-funded companies had a few zombies among them. Rock Health looked at companies up to five years ago, and found that 11 percent they classified as either dead or “zombies” (which have not raised a round in 3+ years). “Most likely to die? A disproportionate number of these zombie companies are in the care coordination, EHR, or clinical workflow space.”

In Big Genomics, preventing unwanted hacking and identification of individuals
[grow_thumb image=”http://telecareaware.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Fotolia_41683185_S-Genomics.jpg” thumb_width=”150″ /]Two Stanford University researchers, through their own ‘hacking’, are making genomics research and data base usage more secure–and shutting the door on misuse of personal genome sequences which are now available through commercial saliva testing (23andme) and even through records on family research websites.
Genomic data sets have become more accessible to researchers through a network of servers, dubbed beacons, called The Beacon Project, organized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded Global Alliance for Genomics and Health. Genomics researchers are interested in looking for a particular genetic variant in a multitude of genomic databases. Using these beacons, when a researcher finds a gene of interest, they then can apply for more complete access to the data. They can find mutations and find other researchers working on the same one.
However, the risk is that some of this data is not sufficiently de-identified, and in the process of ‘pinging’ these beacons for genetic data, someone can create an unauthorized genomic profile of that person. For instance, a ‘nefarious user’ can find the match for an individual’s genome in a heart disease beacon, then can infer that the individual — or a relative of that person — likely has heart disease.

23andMe returns to direct-to-consumer genetic testing marketing
Nearly two years after the FDA shut the door on 23andMe‘s direct marketing of genetic testing, it is now back in the market with FDA clearance. The new Personal Genome Service (PGS) now meets FDA standards–and is now $199 where it was previously $99. It is as before a saliva-based test that in about two months, provides that person with an online report. There are multiple types, for instance the carrier status test on 36 inherited conditions, including cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia. The company is also bolstered by closing a $115 million round this month and in January a partnership with Pfizer to sell the company its Research Portal aggregated, anonymized data. Earlier this year, FDA cleared in Class II their Bloom Syndrome test [TTA 20 Feb] and late last year resumed DTC test marketing in the UK. Mobihealthnews also includes a helpful timeline of 23andMe’s troubles and recovery.
The Theranos Kerfuffle: a setback, but is it for the best? (updated)
[grow_thumb image=”http://telecareaware.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/question_mark.jpg” thumb_width=”120″ /]Some clarity emerges from the controversy around Theranos and last week’s Wall Street Journal exposé [TTA 16 Oct]. Last week’s rebuttal/denial released by the company said remarkably little, which disturbed Roger Parloff, the Fortune writer who profiled the company in June 2014’s high-profile cover story. He failed to reach CEO Elizabeth Holmes, who on her break from an all-day with the Harvard Medical School Board of Fellows, taped a segment with CNBC stock tout Jim Cramer (a questionable priority indeed–Ed.) Fortunately he received more specific answers via email from General Counsel Heather King. It clarifies among other things that venipuncture, not finger stick, is used in the majority of their tests in practice, and that dilution of samples is within industry practice for use in third-party analyzing machines. There also seem to be two sides to the proficiency-testing story. (Oddly, no mention of the sensational claims around British biochemist Ian Gibbons who was key to Theranos’ patent development and the alleged legal threats to his widow.)
For those who have difficulty getting through the WSJ paywall, Mr Parloff’s summary of the WSJ article’s main points is helpful. His conclusion: Theranos is wisely ‘dialing back’ its USP on drawing blood through finger stick to “Smaller samples. Smaller needles. Better experience.” (A neat pivot from what Theranos ‘made their bones’ on and still features–tiny finger-sticks.) His open-ended question (for, presumably, the next article): can it profitably run its low-cost testing business when it’s using the same analyzing machines as the big testing labs; and while cheaper, can doctors and patients trust the Theranos tests (which are a matter of health, and perhaps life and death) if they’ve flunked their first test at transparency?
Another view from Health 2.0 supremo Matthew Holt over at his Health Care Blog is that for Theranos, this blow is eminently recoverable if they play their cards right. Witness the recovery made by 23andMe, now in the good graces of FDA after having blown it badly to near-shutdown. (more…)
Pharma company ‘breaks the Internet’ with Kim K, gets FDA testy
But it may break them…well, give them a fracture. Or a good hard marketing lesson. Specialty pharma Duchesnay thought it had hit the jackpot with negotiating a promotional spokeswoman endorsement from pregnant celebrity Kim Kardashian of its morning sickness drug Diclegis. The Kardashian Marketing Machine cranked up. Kim (and mom Kris Jenner) took to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter in late July with (scripted) singing of Diclegis’ praises to their tens of millions of followers. The Instagram posts linked to an ‘important safety page’ a/k/a The Disclaimers. That wasn’t near enough for the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) which governs the acceptable marketing of all drugs in the US. On August 7th a tartly worded letter arrived at Duchesnay’s Pennsylvania HQ cited multiple violations of marketing regulations, notably risk information, and told Duchesnay to cease these communications immediately or withdraw the drug, which would be highly unlikely as it is successful. They also were require to provide “corrective messages” to the “violative materials”.
Our takeaway:
* Duchesnay reaped a bounty of free media (see below), on top of the (undoubtedly expensive) Kardashian endorsement. Yes, they did pay the cost of a FDA nastygram and a legal response, and the warning will live on in their file. However, a lot of target-age women now know Diclegis and others know about the relatively obscure Duchesnay.
* This was a calculated marketing risk that tested the boundaries of social media and celebrity endorsement. (more…)
Rock Health’s mid-year report: 2015 investment leveling off
July 10, 2015 | by Donna Cusano | No Comments
Rock Health‘s 2015 report is revealing in one aspect–that the authors try to put a game face on what is a flat situation in digital health investment for first half. Not even the most optimistic of the digerati expected a lift of 16 percent as we saw in 2014 versus 2013 [TTA 2 July 14], but the 8.7 percent fall off from 2014’s blistering $2.3 billion to $2.1 billion in 2015 year-to-date was unexpected. StartUp Health’s report indicated a slower start to 2015, though slightly less, so the reports correspond. Digital health still is growing faster than software, biotech and medical device.
* The top six categories accounted for 50 percent of investment funding: wearables, analytics, consumer engagement, telemedicine, enterprise wellness, EHR/clinical workflow
* In M&A action, this year’s first half has almost matched 2014’s full year total, but with only 13 percent of the investment. Most are digital health companies acquiring others for small amounts. (more…)
Kickstarting the 1st week of summer: news from all over
June 23, 2015 | by Donna Cusano | No Comments
No deal yet between insurer giants. Cigna turned down a $53.8 billion bid from Anthem. According to Healthcare Finance, concerns ranged from corporate governance problems, their membership in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, the probable chairman’s (from the Anthem side) qualifications and data security (ahem!).

23andMe’s FDA coup hazardous to personal DNA data security?

Queens of Langkasuka release postponed
Believing that Thailand's current political crisis is keeping audiences away from cinemas, director Nonzee Nimibutr has postponed the release of Queens of Langkasuka. The historical epic had been scheduled to open on August 12, Her Majesty the Queen's birthday.
The Daily Xpress reported on the postponed release in a brief on Page 15 of the print edition. Here's more:
Nonzee thinks people are too scared, worried or just plain ticked off at the moment to be interested in movies. He doesn’t want his studio, Sahamongkol Film International, to take a bath at the box office on what is, after all, his most expensive film – 200 million baht and five years in the making. Sahamongkol went along with his decision despite having already spent millions on promotion.
And that's all there is to that. Another release date is not given.
The government of Samak Sundaravej is under fire from at least two sides - on the streets from the People's Alliance for Democracy, and in Parliament, where the opposition Democrat Party staged a no-confidence debate. In postponing the release of his film, Nonzee thinks worse is yet to come, the worst being another military coup. The last one on September 19, 2006 was peaceful yet it did put enough of a dent in box-office takings that Nonzee doesn't want to take chances.
Earlier, the film's title was Queens of Pattani, but that was changed to distance the film from the violence in the three southernmost Thai provinces, one of which is Pattani.
Guess this means my planned Nonzee Nimibutr blog-a-thon is postponed as well. I'll keep an ear open for the next announced release date.

I still plan to do the Nonzee Blog-a-thon. I've just put it off until October. I'll update the announcement soon.

Seeing art as an alternative approach to produce knowledge, this exhibition has grown out from the project to focus on the collectives or communities that are formed for co-production (of art and/or alternative knowledge), as well as the active/resilient political subject with agency constructed during the processes of co-production through negotiating to reach common ideology.

Guy Hepner Gallery Artist Spotlight – Max Makewell
Max Makewell is a not only an artist, but a storyteller. He began his journey as an artist while watching his grandfather create sculptures made of wax, but his path has taken multiple twists and turns as he has traversed across the globe in search of inspiration for his next work of art. Makewell finds those sparks of creativity from everyday moments, whether it’s walking up the steps of the Met, or noticing an interesting color palette in the New York City subway.
Max describes his process as a mad scientist experimenting with different colors, shapes, and mediums in the lab until he cooks up a new formula. This can be seen through the progression of his artwork. He originally began painting portraits, but now has switched focus to abstract paintings and larger scale pieces of art. Makewell believes that this is just the beginning of his journey into the art world. We were able to have the opportunity to sit down and learn from his experiences while gaining a better understanding of the man that expresses himself through paint strokes.
When was the moment you knew that you wanted to dedicate your life to the arts?
I watched my grandfather’s thick-knuckled hands transform wax into beautiful bronze horses. His bristling creative energy infected my 5 year old imagination. I worked beside him conjuring visions into physical reality using my still soft pale hands. It’s moments like these that made me realize I wanted to devote my life to art.
How do you feel your art has developed since you first started?
When I jog up the steps of the Met I feel a sense of fraternity with all the classical artists celebrated there. Each generation leaves behind a context of skill to for the next to stand on the shoulders of. Since completing my training I feel an obligation to my ancestors to dissect, synthesize, and raise the bar on how deeply art can move each of us.
What does the creative process look like for you?
When I’m in my studio I feel like an evil scientist mixing potions and experimenting with recipes. With each trial I gain valuable insights and approaches. After hundreds of failed attempts the light bulb goes on and “eureka”!
What has been the most rewarding part of being an artist?
Being an artist is both a privilege and a tremendous responsibility.
What do you hope others see when they look at your body of work?
It’s one of the few professions where I believe it’s possible to raise the bar on what we feel is possible in our lives. If I can do this for just one person in my lifetime all of the dedication would be worth it.
Your body of work has evolved over time (portraits to abstracts). Where do you feel you are now and where do you see yourself going with your art?
I feel like I’m just getting started with my art, and knowing there are only 24 hours in a day keeps my feet to the fire.
Describe a real-life situation that inspired you.
I was in the subway kicking the steel beam out of boredom when I saw its paint was chipped. Seven distinct colors revealed themselves. My imagination ran wild with the stories that these coats of paint had seen and experienced over the decades.
If you had the ability to create anything what would your dream project be?
I’m working on my big dream project right now, creating a full building wall mural in Soho. I was deeply involved in public art many years ago, but this will be a whole new level of sharing on an international stage of viewers.
What role do you feel the artist has in today’s society?
Artists are the ones who raise the ceiling on society’s imagination and potential.
What advice do you have for younger or newer artist trying to make a name for themselves in the art world?
Make it happen, and allow others to join in on the fun.

Bushfire Fundraising
Recently we were contacted by one of our wonderful members, Dr Surjit Tarafdar, a Staff Specialist at Blacktown and Mt Druitt Hospital, who is calling on supporters to provide urgent funds to assist those affected by the Australian Bushfire Crisis. In his request, he has stated that in his 14 years of living in Australia, he has “ never seen this beautiful and welcoming country face the level of devastation that it does now with the recent onset of massive bushfires”.
These bushfires have ravaged communities and affected the lives of all Australians. ASMOF want to especially acknowledge the tireless work of our members who are providing urgent medical care in these challenging circumstances.
We have seen an extraordinary effort from individuals and communities to support each other through this crisis. We are proud to share the GoFundme page created by Dr Tarafdar on behalf of the Australian Red Cross Society.
Please help him reach his goal.
Australian Bushfire Crisis
SURJIT TARAFDAR is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Australian Red Cross
One of ASMOF's Staff Members (ACT) has been caught up with the crisis in Cobargo and recently sent us this message:
Our small rural village of Cobargo on the NSW Far South Coast was overwhelmed by a massive firestorm on New Year’s Eve. We lost two much-loved Cobargo locals - father and son Robert and Patrick Salway died in the conflagration. We lost at least 88 homes, thousands of animals died, farms have been ravaged and the heart of our beautiful village has been razed to the ground.
We need your help to rebuild. The Cobargo Community Bushfire Recovery Fund has been set up by community representatives to fund projects of benefit to the whole community. It is run by community volunteers and funds will be allocated to projects in consultation with the community.
The Cobargo Folk Festival, through the Yuin Folk Club Inc, is
kicking off the fund with a donation of $10,000. It is an enormous privilege to be able to help our community in this way.
As many have seen from our independent bushfire relief centre our community is resilient, resourceful, and determined. We plan to shape our own future and are now raising the funds to do this. We are not waiting to be told what to do and are taking our future into our own hands. The fund will be managed transparently and fully audited.
All enquiries, including media, to cobargofund@gmail.com
All contributions, big and small, to:
Cobargo Community Bushfire Recovery Fund.
Account no: 171 210 016

Help Cobargo recover from the devastating New Year’s Eve firestorms and build a more resilient and self-sufficient community.

“Australiana” iTunes Release
2014 sees the digital release of the now classic ‘AUSTRALIANA’ on Apple iTunes.
This single holds the Australian record for the highest selling single of all time with over 200,000 copies sold.
Absolutely hilarious this is a must have.
MERCHANT OF MENACE
Powerfully written by controversial author – broadcaster Ross Fitzgerald and comedy writer Rick Murphy, Austen Tayshus: Merchant of Menace is a no holds – barred biography of Australia’s edgiest comedian; a man rightly regarded as the nation’s most dangerous and subversive performer.
Austen Tayshus is the creation of Sandy Gutman, a shy, intelligent, highly cultured and observant son of Judaism; an actor and award – winning filmmaker, strict vegetarian and father. He retains a loyal following within the arts community and his fans include international film stars, world famous artists and a former Australian prime minister.
He is also the great outsider of Australian show business; a raging intellectual punk who seeks out apathy, hypocrisy and mediocrity, and stomps on them until they are dead.
This brilliantly written biography uncovers the complicated personality of a stand – up comedian driven to perform, a man who lives in the shadow of a great tragedy.
Paperback Format
TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL
Totally Out OF Control is a live Stand Up DVD filmed on Austen Tayshus’ sell out tour at the Stadium Comedy Bar on January 7th 2005.
Austen Tayshus is known from his Australiana CD, and still holds the record for the biggest selling comedy single in Australia, which went double platinum.

Travelling Southeast Asia: Sen Monorom, Cambodia
After a night of what seemed like luxury compared to our jungle hut experience, we were picked up from our hotel in Ban Lung by the minibus that we had booked the night before. We started of the journey thinking, quite naively, that we might be the only people on the bus to Sen Monorom, but the driver continued to collect people until there were 18 people on this 14-seater minibus. It definitely wasn’t the most comfortable journey, but thankfully it only took a total of three hours.
Our accommodation, Greenhouse Guesthouse, was a short walk from where the bus dropped us off, so we went there to check into our rooms before heading down the road to their café for lunch. The guesthouse, with its bright green walls, was our accommodation of choice due to its links with booking activities, treks and elephant sanctuary visits.
As we were pretty exhausted from the previous couple of days and anticipated a busy few to come, the majority of the afternoon and evening was spent eating cake at Phka café, drinking cocktails at Chilli on the Rocks and devouring amazing stone oven baked pizzas at Mondulkiri Pizza – all whilst deciding what to do for the next few days, of course.
Our main decision was to decide whether to do an overnight homestay in an ethnic minority village. We knew that we wanted to spend some time at an elephant sanctuary, as well as doing a trek, but the cheapest way to combine these was to stick an overnight stay in the middle. Everyone was a little bit concerned about whether or not I would be able to cope with sleeping in a hammock in a wooden hut with a grass roof after the Yaklom ordeal, but I was persuaded in the end by the fact that the hammock would have a mosquito net zipped onto it, that the fires that they light inside their huts keep the insects out and that someone from the village and the guide would sleep in the hut too.
Before arriving at the elephant location the next morning, we stopped at an ethnic minority village (though not the one at which we would spend the night), to learn about some of the farming they did, and customs and traditions they upheld that differed to the rest of Cambodia.
Once we arrived at the part of the jungle where the elephants lived, we had to walk a fair bit to find them. Because these were rescued elephants who were completely free to roam the jungle, there were no fences, no chains, nothing keeping them in captivity at all. However, they did wear bells so that the guides would be able to tell if they were nearby. Meeting the elephants was a lot scarier than I had anticipated, and although we were told to be assertive when offering them food so that they would trust you, this just seemed to make me more nervous. You don’t quite realise the sheer size of an elephant until it is freely stood right next to you.
After we’d fed the elephants and learnt a little about them, we were sent off to a waterfall to have our lunch, whilst the guides encouraged the elephants to join us at the waterfall to be washed. Anyone was welcome to get into the water to help with the cleaning, but I decided to stay on the side and watch, as I didn’t think that my occasional fear of water combined with my slight apprehension with the elephants would be the best combination. I promise I’m not scared of everything.
Before we made our last journey to the village, we were taken to a coffee plantation to take a look at the wide variety of crops that were planted and farmed in the Mondulkiri province.
We took some time to wander around the village once we arrived, which mostly involved interacting with some of the children who were pulling faces at us and looking at all of the animals that would be surrounding us that night.
It felt really strange zipping yourself into a hammock in a hut made of elephant grass, surrounded by animal noises (and large spiders, which I pretended to myself that I hadn’t seen). As the toilet was in a hut down a bit of a hill from our hut that involved passing multiple cows, getting up in the middle of the night became a group experience. When you’re in a place with no electric lights, it’s amazing how bright the moonlight is.
To our relief, the night passed with no insect or creature-related incidents like our last experience. That is besides the moment when a cat that had found its way into the hut screeched really loudly from right under our hut, and in my half-asleep state I sat bolt upright (well as much as you can when you’re cocooned in a hammock) and swore quite loudly. In fact, it is Vicky who has a fear of cats, so I’m not sure why I had such a shock…
Waking up early was unavoidable in a village where farming takes precedence, but we had to be up early anyway to begin our trek into the jungle. We set off at 8:30am with our guides and didn’t return to the village until about 4pm. Fairly early into our journey one of the guides made us each a walking stick, which just seemed like a bit of fun at the time, but it became an essential tool when it came to trekking down extremely steep slopes. My feet just couldn’t seem to stop trying to slide the whole way down, and one of the guides ended up having to grip hold of my wrist for long periods of time to stop me from whizzing off and tumbling hundreds of metres down.
The mid-point of the trek was a waterfall, where the guides made us lunch by starting a fire and using the inside of a bamboo trunk to cook the food.
Perhaps the hardest part of the trek was when we came back to crossing the river. Of course we assumed that there would be a fallen tree trunk across the river, in the same way that we had crossed the river earlier. No, this time we had to remove our walking boots and wade through the water. This was a lot trickier than it looked; the current was stronger than anything I’d felt before and the rocks were extremely slippery to walk on. It was like every element of nature wanted to throw you down the river, and it took every bit of strength to keep yourself upright and moving forwards.
By the time we reached the final hill to climb, we were all dreaming about the pizza and cake we had eaten a couple of days before, so that’s exactly where we headed once we’d arrived back in Sen Monorom.
But what we didn’t learn until the next day, on our 10-hour journey to Sihanoukville, was that this was a huge mistake…
I also vlogged our stay which gives an even better impression of Sen Monorom, so give that a watch and subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don’t miss the vlogs from the rest of the trip!

Montana 2020 Governor’s Race Spending
Lots of numbers in these reports.
I’m sure the TV stations and newspapers will give you some good info, but I doubt they’ll delve into the spending side too much.
That’s what we’ll focus on today.
But first...everyone stacked up against everyone:
Gianforte: $507,000 raised, $623,000 in the bank
Cooney: $249,000 raised, $142,000 in the bank
Fox: $151,000 raised, $242,000 in the bank
Olszewski: $37,000 raised, $98,000 in the bank
Neil: $702 raised, $479 in the bank
Let’s get into the details.
The Dems
Mike Cooney raised $249,000 for the period of July to October, and he spent $107,000. He now has $142,000 in the bank.
Just two PACs gave to Cooney this period - Deloitte PAC and Health Care Service Corporation Employees PAC.
There are hundreds of individual contributors donating to Cooney, way too many for most people to go through. Perhaps the TV stations will delve into this as the campaign progresses.
Cooney is going with the typical Dem outfits, many of which we’ve seen other campaigns use...despite losing in their attempts.
Here are some spending items that stood out to me:
$31,000 to D.C.’s Mothership Strategies for digital consulting services
$17,000 to pay Helena’s Emily Harris for general consulting services
$11,000 to Arizona’s the Money Wheel for compliance consulting services
$10,000 to reimburse Emily Harris for a wide range of activities, such as software, travel, field supplies, photography, mailing, fundraising meals, and the like
$7,500 to Missoula’s Brock Development for fundraising consulting services
$6,500 for communications consulting services from Helena’s Magellan Communications
$3,000 to Helena’s Tatum Curtis Design for digital and graphic design work
$1,300 to the Billings Times for field supplies
$1,000 to Chicago’s Apollo Artistry for digital consulting
$660 to fly someone somewhere on Delta
$630 to New York’s Blue State Digital for digital consulting
I encourage you to look at this article that discusses Mothership Strategies’ approach to email, which might not work that well, but which does cost an arm and a leg.
Mothership works heavily with the Progressive Turnout Project, and in 2016 they raised over $5 million. Mothership got $768,000 of that. Rob Quist then turned around and hired them for his special election race in 2017, giving them $25,000.
Those who hire Mothership usually lose.
Another one that worries me is Emily Harris as, what appears to be, the campaign manager.
Harris was paid $2,800 a month to work on the Denise Juneau campaign in 2016, and Juneau lost to Zinke, 56% to 40%.
Rob Quist then hired her to work on his campaign a few months later, and she was paid $2,500 a month at first, and then about $3,300 a month.
Quist lost that one to Gianforte, 49% to 44%.
Harris is big with Forward Montana and the LGBTQ crowd. I don’t know what Cooney sees in her, but I guess he thinks she has the winning formula for him. We’ll see how the staff on his campaign changes and grows as the cycle wears on.
Reilly Neill raised $702 for the period and spent $543. She now has $479 in the bank.
Besides the various loans to herself, just two people have donated to Neill.
Most of her spending consists of travel to a few campaign events, some website work, signs and stickers, and to rent a space to hold an event.
Perhaps one of the other candidates will tap Neill to be their Lieutenant Governor. Other than that, I don’t see her going anywhere after the primary.
Casey Schreiner doesn’t have a report up yet.
Whitney Williams doesn’t have a report up, and I don’t think she’s going to. I would like to know what she spent on that campaign rollout of hers, as well as printing and if she has staff. But like I said, I doubt we’ll see a report until the next due date, which is January 5.
The GOP
Tim Fox raised $151,000 this period and spent $121,000. He now has $242,000 in the bank.
PACs giving to Fox include the Cajun PAC, Deloitte PAC, Health Care Service Corp PAC, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP Fed PAC, PAC Enterprise Holdings Inc, and Trinity Industries Employee PAC.
The list of individual contributors giving to Fox is large, and would take some time to go through.
There’s a lot of spending, too. Here are some items of interest:
$22,000 for monthly campaign consulting, email management, and website hosting to Image, a company based in Alexandria, Virginia
$12,400 in campaign management fees to Cutter Consulting, based in Denver, and another $10,000 in fees and moving expenses to that company
$9,000 for campaign consulting and communications research from the Jackson-Alvarez Group, based in Virginia
$6,800 for political consulting and website development from Helena’s Western Consulting
$6,000 for 1,200 fundraising letters and postage, which was from a company in Virginia (Creative Direct)
$6,000 for consulting from Michael McMacken, based in Helena
$6,000 for a primary survey from Public Opinion Strategies, based out of Virginia
$5,200 in reimbursements to Tim Fox personally for various flights he’s taken, though we’re not told where or why, just that they happened between June and August
$4,500 for 1,239 fundraising letters and postage from the same Virginia company
$3,000 for campaign consulting from Gulledge Consulting, based in Polson
$2,500 for a teleforum, which was put on with the help of a company based in Florida, Election Connections
$1,900 for campaign photos
$1,300 for tickets to the Lincoln Day Dinner in Missoula
$1,300 to rent a campaign office in the Lion Building in Helena
$1,200 for campaign t-shirts
$1,000 for campaign strategy consulting from HCW & Associates, based in Virginia (plus a car rental)
$1,000 to Jack Cutter for fuel, lodging and nametags
$900 for a hotel room in Aspen
$600 to fly someone on Delta to somewhere
$270 for a flight to Denver
There’s a lot more in the report, but mainly just postage and printing and some meals and travel. Fox doesn’t have much of a staff right now, which allows him to build up that warchest.
I wish he was spending more money with Montana companies, and not those in Alexandria, or Richmond, or McLean...all cities located in Virginia.
What is this hold that Virginia has on Tim Fox? Does the D.C. beltway want their hooks in him? What opposing forces are at work behind the scenes...forces that would most likely be anti-Gianforte more than pro-Fox.
Of course, those companies love money and would take it from anyone.
Greg Gianforte raised $507,000 this period, and spent $328,000. He now has $623,000 in the bank.
How much of that was given to the campaign by Gianforte himself? It’s hard to say - there’s a note about this, saying “see attached,” but there’s no attachment.
$236,000 is the total to date listed as contributed, however, so perhaps that’s the whole story.
Gianforte is getting PAC money, but he’s also getting a bunch of money shuffled to him from other campaign accounts.
The PACs include Boots PAC, CMR PAC, Eye of the Tiger PAC, the Liberty Fund, and Reaching for a Brighter America.
Other campaign accounts giving to him include Friends of Matt Gaetz, Lahood for Congress, and Meadows for Congress.
All of these donations are in the $700 range.
When it comes to individual contributors, I think Gianforte has more than any of the other candidates filing reports this cycle.
On the spending side, there’s a lot. Gianforte is a big spender, and I’m going to focus on the big-ticket items. Highlights include:
$45,000 for a voter preference telephone poll, conducted July 7-10, and put on by Portland, Oregon’s Moore Information
$40,000 for a 30-second TV ad that ran from July 3-16
$36,000 for campaign consulting work in August with Billings’ the Political Company
$25,000 for a media and advertising production with Virginia’s FP1 Strategies
$20,000 with the Political Company for various printing and fundraising emails
$15,000 with Billings’ Ultra Graphics to do a mass mailing
$9,000 to Maryland’s Big Sky Strategies for campaign strategy communications consulting
$1,500 to rent an office in Bozeman
Gianforte has a lot of staff.
There’s Casey Collins in Helena, making around $1,000 a paycheck. We have Dan Duffy in Missoula making nearly $2,000 a paycheck. Karli Hill working out of Lewistown and making about $1,600 a paycheck. Devin Morrison is working in Bozeman and getting $1,000 a check. Victoria Thomas is in Bozeman as well, making $1,000 a check.
Around $10,000 was spent on payroll taxes for the period to have those people on staff.
That’s five different staffers, all doing...something. I suppose the main task at this point is to just keep raising money. Gianforte seems to be doing well there, and I have a feeling he might give less to his campaign this year than he did last year, when he put in $1 million. He definitely won’t need to pour in $5 million, like he did for his 2016 run.
I think this race is Gianforte’s to lose. We’ll see how much he and Fox beat each other up over the next 8 months.
Al Olszewski raised $37,000 for the period and spent $49,000. He now has $98,000 in the bank.
Olszewski has a lot of individual donors. A fun side project for an up-and-comer somewhere might be to compare all the individual donors to the various GOP gubernatorial candidates, and how this sizes-up against our list of known antagonists. Which camps of moderates and conservatives, reactionaries and Tea Partiers are supporting who, and why?
Alas, I won’t be doing that.
I will give you a few spending highlights:
$12,000 to Billings’ Montana Consulting Services for digital services
$2,300 was spent on two newspaper ads with the Yellowstone County News
Olszewski does have staff. He’s paying Joe Chester of Bozeman $627 every two weeks to help run his campaign, and another $1,472 over the same period to Ian Sibbert of Kalispell for campaign work. In addition, $200 or so dollars is paid every two weeks for payroll taxes on them, plus $61 for unemployment taxes.
Besides that, there’s not a whole lot of big spending.
Olszewski has a huge uphill battle, against two competing juggernauts in the Montana GOP. I don’t think he’ll fair much better than he has in the past, such as last year when he got 18.7% of the vote in the Senate primary. His only real hope is that Fox and Gianforte beat the hell out of each other, and voters are so turned off they vote for Al because they're sick of it all.
That’s a slim straw to grasp at, however. There is a very good chance he’ll get appointed to whichever GOP candidate wins the governor’s office, which is highly likely after 16 years of Democratic control there.

Coalition Statement on the Graduation of Ukraine from Jackson-Vanik

Washington DC (March 8, 2006) – The House of Representatives today passed legislation to graduate Ukraine from the Jackson-Vanik Amendment. The legislation, H.R. 1053, offered by Representative Jim Gerlach (R-PA), grants Ukraine normal trade relations status with the United States. The final vote results were 417 votes cast in favor of the bill, 2 against, and 3 abstentions. The Senate is expected to quickly act on this legislation.

Prior to the vote, the Jackson-Vanik Graduation Coalition held a press conference on Capitol Hill. Speakers included Representative Jim Gerlach (R-PA), Representative Curt Weldon (R-PA), Representative Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), as well as coalition co-chairmen Ambassador Steven Pifer and Ambassador William Green Miller, as well as NCSJ Chairman Dr. Robert Meth. Among other things, the speakers noted that the impending passage of H.R. 1053 would recognize the progress that Ukraine has made along its reforms path.
The Jackson-Vanik Graduation Coalition expresses its great appreciation to the House of Representatives for its passage of H.R. 1053. The Coalition in particular expresses its gratitude for the bipartisan leadership of Representative Jim Gerlach (R-PA), Representative Curt Weldon (R-PA), and Representative Sander Levin (D-MI). The Coalition further notes the strong support of the House leadership and the White House in achieving passage of H.R. 1053. Finally, the Coalition expresses its appreciation for the leadership in the Senate of Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN) and Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) in graduating Ukraine from Jackson-Vanik.

Passage of legislation to graduate Ukraine from Jackson-Vanik recognizes the progress that Ukraine has made in building a modern democracy and market economy. The House of Representatives’ action today confirms the United States’ commitment to democracy and reform in Ukraine and to a robust bilateral relationship. In particular, it complements the Senate’s passage of legislation by unanimous consent in November 2005 to graduate Ukraine from the Jackson-Vanik Amendment, the United States granting Ukraine market economy status in February, and the United States and Ukraine concluding a WTO bilateral protocol on Monday.
The Jackson-Vanik Amendment was enacted in 1974 in reaction to the severe restrictions the Soviet Union had placed on emigration of its citizens, most notably those of Jewish descent. Since regaining its independence in 1991, Ukraine has built a strong record of open emigration and has fully met Jackson-Vanik’s freedom of emigration requirements, a fact recognized by both Presidents Clinton and Bush.

The Jackson-Vanik Graduation Coalition, co-chaired by Ambassador Steven Pifer and Ambassador William Miller, represents more than 250 businesses and Ukrainian-American, Jewish-American and other non-governmental organizations. The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation initiated this Coalition as a result of the U.S.-Ukraine Policy Dialogue. Several Task Forces within U.S.-Ukraine Policy Dialogue identified the graduation of Ukraine from the Jackson-Vanik Amendment as one of the priorities for strengthening U.S.-Ukraine relations.

Morris Jeff to Dedicate Jerry P. Foxworth Memorial Early Childhood Wing in Honor of Beloved Teacher
Morris Jeff Community School is dedicating the Early Childhood Wing in Honor/Memory of Jerry P. Foxworth, a lifelong teacher and inspiration at MJCS.
Friday, June 10, 2016 8:00 a.m.
Morris Jeff Community School
211 S. Lopez, New Orleans, LA 70119
Since her passing on January 29, 2014, the Morris Jeff community has mourned the loss of a beloved and remarkable teacher and friend, Mrs. Jerry Powell Foxworth. Jerry loved to inspire young, inquiring minds and was a mentor to her colleagues. Named “Teacher of the Year” twice, her passion and influence were undeniable. Jerry was a kind and graceful educator -- calm in disposition yet unwavering in her conviction to educate and mentor.
Although the pain of her loss will continue throughout the MJCS community, in her memory, MJCS will christen the pre-kindergarten and kindergarten hallway of Morris Jeff Community School the Jerry P. Foxworth Memorial Early Childhood Wing.

Planned Parenthood Ordered to Answer Questions About Illegal Money for Baby Parts Scheme
Contact: Catherine Short, Life Legal Defense Foundation, 707-337-6880
MEDIA ADVISORY, Jan. 25, 2019 /Christian Newswire/ -- Four California Planned Parenthood affiliates have been ordered to respond to questions about their profit margin from procuring organs and tissue from aborted babies and selling them to fetal tissue procurement companies.
Three years ago, Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and several Planned Parenthood affiliates sued CMP, David Daleiden, Sandra Merritt, Albin Rhomberg, and other investigators in federal district court, asserting fifteen claims ranging from racketeering to invasion of privacy. Their lawsuit alleges that the videos showing Planned Parenthood doctors callously discussing the price of baby parts were “misleadingly edited” to make it appear that Planned Parenthood clinics were violating federal and state laws against profiting from the sale of fetal parts. Planned Parenthood claims it brought the lawsuit to “further expose the falsity” of the videos and recover millions of dollars in damages for the alleged harm the videos caused to Planned Parenthood by CMP’s allegations of criminal activity.
However, discovery in the lawsuit revealed that the four Planned Parenthood affiliates most heavily involved in fetal tissue procurement, while receiving monthly payments from fetal tissue marketers, kept no records of their legally allowable costs. The House Select Panel investigating Planned Parenthood's fetal tissue procurement practices determined that , in practice, the costs were nominal to non-existent.
In the face of this evidence, Planned Parenthood continued to deny that their revenues exceeded their expenses, but flatly refused to explain the discrepancy. Life Legal Defense Foundation then sought an order from Magistrate Judge Donna Ryu of the Northern District of California, compelling the abortion providers to explain themselves.
In response to the motion, Planned Parenthood attorneys argued that "whether any of the four relevant affiliates complied with a technical law about permissible reimbursement" is not relevant to the lawsuit, and that questions about invoices showing that Planned Parenthood affiliates did in fact profit from the sale of fetal body parts have "zero bearing" on the issues in the case.
On Thursday, the court granted the Life Legal’s motion and ordered Planned Parenthood to provide responses by January 31.
"Since the day the first CMP video was released, Planned Parenthood has proclaimed its innocence and insisted it was the victim of a 'smear' that it sold baby parts," said Alexandra Snyder, Executive Director of Life Legal Defense Foundation. "We know money went in, baby parts went out, and costs were negligible. We look forward to Planned Parenthood finally have to explain how that didn't violate federal law."

More than 1,500 Pastors Take 'The Preacher's Pledge'
Contact: Cindy Getz, SermonCentral.com, 760-940-0600, support@sermoncentral.com
VISTA, Calif., November 1 /Christian Newswire/ -- Pastors across the U.S. and around the globe are affirming The Preacher's Pledge--a declaration of the centrality of the Bible in preaching and sermon preparation. More than 1,500 preachers from over 50 nations have already taken The Pledge, with many more affirming it every day.
The Pledge was introduced by SermonCentral.com, the world's most highly trafficked sermon website. More than 250,000 visitors come to the site each month to access over 120,000 sermons and illustrations, amounting to nearly half a million pages of online Scripture commentary.
"We introduced The Pledge because we think preachers must engage the Bible in their sermon preparation and not simply short circuit the process with someone else's study," says Ron Forseth, general editor for SermonCentral.com. "Our site is a valuable supplement--but not the primary source for a sermon. God's Word is."
Scott Evans, president of Outreach, Inc., which owns SermonCentral.com, adds, "SermonCentral.com offers an unprecedented opportunity for pastors to share their thinking on various passages of Scripture and relevant topics. We want to strengthen the quality of preaching in pulpits around the world. The Preacher's Pledge is helping do that. That's why, with every sermon on our site we encourage pastors to affirm The Pledge."
Sermon manuscript and illustration databases have been around long before the advent of the Internet. But in the cyber age, the availability of such resources is far greater and, in the case of SermonCentral.com, free. Some preachers have been known to drift from the centrality of the Bible or even plagiarize others' work. The Pledge allows preachers to make a public commitment for themselves and for their congregations.
The Preacher's Pledge was drafted by a group of Christian leaders who serve on the site's advisory council. The Pledge states:
I will make the Bible my primary resource
in sermon preparation and preaching.
I may use other resources such as commentaries and
web sites to enhance, not replace,
my personal interaction with Scripture.
As I study I will strive to accurately understand and
honestly apply God's Word, allowing Him to uniquely
proclaim His truth in a relevant way through me.
Pastors wishing to affirm The Pledge may do so by visiting: www.sermoncentral.com/pledge.
Questions or inquiries may be directed to communications coordinator Cindy Getz at support@sermoncentral.com.

cambridge assessment
commissioner: cambridge assessment
artist: vong phaophanit and claire oboussier
Cambridge Assessment commissioned Vong Phaophanit and Claire Oboussier to make a work that would be integral to their new headquarters building on Shaftesbury Road in Cambridge.
The opportunity was highly significant due to the organisations international profile, and the site’s potential to create a new gateway to the City.
The artists worked closely with Eric Parry Architects over a period of three years on the development of a glazed, illuminated tower, and a work incorporated into the glazing and structure around the main entrance to the building. Formed of images created from multiple strata of text drawn from a wide range of sources the final works make a significant contribution to Cambridge’s public realm.
An important characteristic of the project was the wide-ranging public engagement programme which involved staff, local residents, local groups, schools and students ensuring its success and acceptance.

November 14th, 2012 | Posted by admin
Many of you will remember the Atkins Reports, two reports on noise and vibration nuisance at Faldingworth commissioned from the company Atkins Ltd at a cost of over £30,000 to taxpayers.
Many of you will remember a public meeting in Faldingworth village hall, when a fresh-faced young chap from Atkins Ltd stood up and told us that our homes “could not possibly” be being damaged by the many massive explosions at Faldingworth. This argument has been trotted out by the council many times since then, whenever someone complains that their house now has cracks that didn’t exist before the explosions: “Atkins have proved it can’t be happening” says the council, repeatedly.
Many people have probably been put off from making insurance claims because of this. Possibly insurance claims have failed because of this. There is serious money involved.
So if it was discovered that the way the reports were done was manipulated in advance, and that they were not good, fair, honest, genuine science, that would be quite important, wouldn’t it?
Real scientists, when measuring things, go to a lot of trouble to make sure that they themselves have not unconsciously influenced the result. This is known as “double blind” testing; the point is to make sure that nobody knows in advance what the outcome is supposed to be, so they can’t accidentally skew the result. Real scientists also try to measure a lot of whatever they’re measuring, to make sure their result isn’t just a lucky accident.
A bad scientist, on the other hand, only measures a small number of things and doesn’t go to any trouble to stop the results being skewed in advance.
We used a Freedom of Information request to ask just what, exactly, Atkins Ltd had been asked to measure.
It turns out that Atkins only measured three explosions for noise, and only one of these for ground-borne vibration (it’s mainly the ground-borne vibration that cracks-up houses, of course). That’s too small a number to give a reliable result. It isn’t good science.
Worse, Atkins said in advance exactly which day they’d be measuring on. That makes it possible for the people making the explosions to keep them quieter that day. This is very bad science. But it gets still worse.
Atkins Ltd had a quiet chat with the council, and it was agreed that Faldingworth would be asked “which of their explosions was the most representative”, so that Atkins could measure only those [see letter below]. This is astonishing. And it’s much worse than just “bad science”.
The company mainly making the nuisance explosions at Faldingworth is a company called Ordnance Test Solutions, based in Northumberland but renting facilities at Faldingworth. On their website (www.otslimited.co.uk) they claim to do the following:
explosive ordnance disposal proofing of guns and gun components
sample firing of ammunition (quality control) gas gun manufacture
ammunition breakdown and “demilitatisation” ammunition repair
bonfire trials of munition packaging safety testing of explosive products
assessment of service life of experimental products safety drop testing
electronic firing systems manufacture and proofing ballistics testing
fuel fire testing “slow cook-off” ammunition testing etc etc.
A lot of this boils down to disposal of old stock (blowing up old bombs, shells etc), and quality control testing of armaments (to make sure they’ll kill the number of people they’re supposed to kill). On their website, Ordnance Test Solutions claim that a lot of this stuff is done underground or underwater. Underground explosions don’t make much noise; but they can produce huge amounts of vibration. These are the vibrations that can damage houses.
Atkins Ltd measured none of the underground explosions. Not one. Everything they measured was an air-burst explosion (and only three of those). They avoided measuring any house-damaging underground explosions at all. Purely because Faldingworth was carefully allowed in advance to choose which of their explosions was “the most representative”.
This was agreed between the three groups involved: Atkins Ltd, West Lindsey Council, and Faldingworth. Every single person involved must have known that this was not just bad science, but a stitch-up. Everyone involved must have known it would give a false impression that a reputable scientific company had conducted real scientific tests and had “proved” that no damage could be occurring, when the measurement context was in fact scientific nonsense and a complete sham from the outset.
This is not just bad science. This is manipulation, and very possibly fraud.
We cannot imagine how any reputable scientific company could act like this. We cannot imagine why our council, paid with our money to protect our interests, should connive with this. We can understand very well, however, why the Faldingworth business operation should be very happy to go along with it all. There’s big money in armaments.
West Lindsey will no longer discuss Faldingworth at all. Why would that be, do you think?
If any of you has had difficulty making an insurance claim for damage to your home which you think is due to activities at Faldingworth, make sure your insurance company sees this piece – particularly the extract below. We’re happy to supply the full document.
From: Atkins Scope of Works 17-3-08, p3:
[Part of a letter from Atkins to West Lindsey, confirming what they expect to be sent. Notice they’re still mentioning “Skydock”; they haven’t even bothered to work out which company is actually doing all this]
4. RECEIVABLES
The following receivables are requested as part of this work.
1). An agreed list of measurement locations.
2). An agreed selection of future ordnance tests that may be deemed representative of the current and future testing programme. This is likely to require further liaison with Skydock regarding what constitutes a representative test.

Blemya 15 years
History of Blemya - Luiz Pagano & Mauricio Bozzi - importing vodkas from Russia
Веда – русская водка
What is Blemya?
In the year 1271, Marco Polo a Venetian merchant made an extent 24 year journey into central Asia, he spent 17 years alone in Mongol-controlled China and served as a special foreign envoy for the great Kublai Khan – He probably, had no idea that his adventures would change the world.
When returning, Marco did not bring great personal riches, only a few knickknacks, a handful of pearls and gifts for family and friends. But the great treasure was not limited on that material goods – it was much bigger than that, he brought 'Il Milione'.
'Il Milione' the Italian for Million, was the name of the book detailing the events of the voyage. Among his tales readers will encounter accurate accounts of that unknown land, such as the idea of paper money, the pasta, a great success in Italian cuisine to date, among other things.
But there we can also find some preposterous supernatural events and an astonishing bestiary, including men with the features of dogs, eagles capable to fly carrying elephants and 'the blemies' – faceless creatures with their facial features on their chest.
In the present day the surface of the planet no longer represents great mystery, on average, more than 8 million people are flying troughout the planet, we have mapped every square inch of land - globalization, which grew massively in the 70s and 80s brought us great benefits, but still, some big monsters are on the loose - xenophobia, racism, discrimination between the sexes, among others.
Ignorance seems to be the leader of those monsters, it is the worst of the all together - we need a good one, a bigger one, stronger one, capable to overcome ignorance and all other monsters.
So in with the presence of this effective monster, named ignorance, we have created a more effective hero: Blemya.
Blemyas belongs to a race that had evolved from humans, there is only asexual beings in the tribe, and they are individuals of bright intellect and elevated moral.
They are so smart that they managed to survive in secret from the rest of humanity for millennia, they helped humanity to achieve the end of the world wars and to get rid of a nuclear Armageddon, but the work that lies ahead is huge ....
Blemyas have only one weak point, as asexual beings the only way to make the Blemyas population grow is:
Keep all situations peaceful;
Strive to know yourself - find out what is the best version of you, and be that person;
There is no way to change the past, but from now on, only make decisions that make you have a happy Karma;
Do not judge people and situations;
See things from the other person's perspective - practice empathy;
Rise above;
Keep up-to-date with Blemya Blog (www.blemya.com)
You know the rest...
In 1997, I joined the Mauricio Bozzi, a great salesman and a great friend to create a international business company specialized in new product introduction, with some kind of difficulty in the market, named Bozzi & Pagano.
In the initial years, business was really prosperous, Dynamic Cooking Systems industrial line, American competitor of Viking ranges had a representation agreement with us, and we also outsourced the sales team of Austrian energy drink Flash Power, while this category had not yet specific legislation in Brazilian territory. Our businesses were performing outstandingly at that point.
We felt privileged to have this big luck in business, we travel; we were always at parties, and on top of such great happiness we were always conjecturing how could we have a better world.
Mauricio was a very enterprising guy, focused on making money, but also was really dedicated to help friends in their needs. It was frequent for us to make a massive shopping in a supermarket for unemployed friends, or collecting some old clothing for donations. In 2008 we lived the boom of energy drink, we earned more money than we needed and we start to devote a relatively small portion of our earnings to help needy friends.
Blemyas over the years
Due to some of our own immature moments at the time, we were omitting from our wives these little 'spending with friends' and every time they asked about where was some given sum of money that we had won, we said that a 'little female monster' had eaten it, giving them the impression that we were spending money with an extramarital love affair.
Later, Mauricio started working as an employee of Flash Power and I tried to keep Bozzi & Pagano Company alive on my own. In April 2000 we tried to introduce a multi distilled cachaça in Brazil, and to export it to some countries that we had contact, but the business were not going well. One day I went to show this cachaça to a French chef of cuisine, friend of mine here in São Paulo... he made a frustrating assessment:
"Are you only working with this cachaça?" Asked the chef, I said yes and then he retorted "that cachaça is horrible, you'll have no future with her. I’ll introduce you to some friends of mine, who are behind a cool business here in Brazil."
And so, on a Monday, May 8th, 2000 I started working as an employee in the introduction of Veuve Clicquot in Brazilian market. On Thursday of the same week, I went for a beer with Mauricio to celebrate.
He was delighted to see me working with this brand and also with the help that such a great chef had given me. In the bar table, we spoke also about the cachaça company, which had little chance of success in the format it adopted and which one of the partners was a relative of Antoninho da Rocha Marmo, a holy child, responsible for numerous miracles in the city of São Paulo.
We recall the many people who we had helped in our prosperous times and we decided that if one day we return to prosper again, we would dedicate part of our earnings to research and development of intelligent mechanisms of humanitarian aid, and thus, our ‘little female monster’ would live again.
At that moment I remembered a dream I had, it was about a trip I’ve made with the family of Marco Polo, in which we’ve found a futuristic city of Blemias, headless monsters that had their faces on the chest.
The Blemias were part of a race that had evolved from humans, there were only women in the tribe, and they were individuals of bright intellect. In my dream, they were so smart that they managed to survive in secret from the rest of humanity for millennia, in a city on the heights with an ingenious holograms projector that disguise the whole city as a mountain.
Dream of Blemyas - Luiz Pagano's Agenda May 11th, 2000
These beings were helping humanity to achieve the end of the world wars, and to get rid of the Cold War in the 80s and 90s - the reproduction of the blemias, even in my dream, were a mystery too.
We decided that the name of this great social welfare company would be blemia, nothing more appropriate for a company dedicated to foreign trade, such as Marco Polo was, having a blemia as an institutional mascot. The blemia or Blemya, as we wrote, would be the company whose mysticism and kindness toward our society would be as big as the holy child, Antoninho da Rocha Marmo.
In 2007 I created a blog for the company Bozzi & Pagano and also for Blemya, once we could not have Blemya as a real company, we would make it live virtually.
My partner passed away in December 2010 and we never managed to revive the Blemya in its full form, at least in the design we had create that Thursday afternoon. But Blemya lives - the blog has had nearly 200 thousand accesses and much of our ideas, some pioneers, are widely discussed on the Internet.
As we've seen, Blemyas exists in only one gender, feminine. The reproduction of the Blemias is no longer a mystery, it happens when one man (the masculine form for mankind) helps another in a very genuine spirit.
For me it is a great pride go through with this project, I'm sure that someday we will live in a post-scarcity society, in which religions will respect each other, within the omnism principle, that we will understand that the concept of waste does not exist, and that our maximum proposal, that we are individuals that must interconnect, one to another, on this planet, with the spirit of fraternity and mutual help.

Dolphins Do Dance!
April 29th, 2008 — Play
Last night was a big night in sports…(well, in my world).
First off, a quick little message to NBA Commissioner, David Stern: Gimme a break Dave. $25K fine on Paul Pierce for a ‘menacing gesture’ in Game 3 this past Saturday??!!??? What was Hawks rookie, Horford doing??!! Oh no, all eyes were shut when straight up taunting in Pierce’s face was going down. No T and no fine. ….. and yet, when asked to define “menacing gesture” last night in Game 4, Mr. Stern you could not give a definitive answer. Etymology my arse, and well, I’ve got a menacing gesture of my own to you, Dave! <insert imagination here> Also, PS. Can ya throw some dollas to ATL’s Philips arena for a working shot clock and buzzer, I think basketball fans, coaches and players alike would greatly appreciate it. (Ya’ll had an entire day and half to fix it, but still needed to rely on a manual horn last night; perhaps the $25K can go to working equipment in NBA arenas fund.) Thank you in advance!
Secondly, Miami Dolphins’ Defensive End, Jason Taylor brought “football to the ballroom” last night, proving suited-up dolphins do dance! Scoring a convincing 29 of 30 points in the Quick Step below:
and a 26 of 30 points in the Paso Doble to the appropriate Monday Night Football theme… Who woulda thunk this would be played in a dance competition?! See him in Dolphin colors here:
High Fidelity…in Shanghai

Fun Facts on April 28th
April 28th, 2008 — Go
Exactly two years ago – I was deep in the concerts and events/music world; and I mean DEEP.
Exactly one year ago – I was miserably toiling away in the advertising world.
Exactly two months ago – I officially left New York. WOW! This is the longest I’ve been away from the big city! (and they said I wouldn’t last….)
Exactly one month ago – I left Boston for Miami.
“Time is free, but priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it, you can never get it back.” – H. Mackay
Soooo,
Approximately one month from today, I will be giving it a another last-hurrah in the big city.
Approximately two months from today, I will be aboard a Shanghai-bound plane.
andddd lastly, bday shout-out to my bro, J today!!
I’m a 917 baby all the way!!
In my umm “going on 5th week” stay here in the MIA, I’ve conjured up a laundry list-full of reasons why I can not see myself residing here:
1. It is seemingly no longer a territory of the US of A; consider it Cuba Part Deux.
2. I am consistently approached en espanol, “Tu hablas espanol?” … NOT even being asked in English!
3. Despite my “No” reply to the above question, the speaker will continue on conversation with me en espanol. (That is universal code for me to just smile – depending on mood – and walk away…..)
4. (Customer) Service of any kind is non-existent. God forbid they perform their job and answer consumer inquiries and/or provide some service. (that’s a shout out to all Home Depot employees and various tile and marble stores down here)
5. …and when service just so happens to appear, (supposed) knowledge/expertise of craft is zippo. I believe the sun is culprit for the death of brain cells here.
6. Punctuality is zilch. They run on their own time with full-day siestas at their whim.
7. Drivers.. omg… Drivers are MADDDDD. Down right KERRR-AZY drivers who believe they are in the Indie 500 while on the Dolphin (Expressway). I have never witnessed so many car accidents in a single day than down here, not to mention how many number of cars blown up in flames – all in one day!
8. I come to find out that FL state regulations do not have any annual mandatory car inspections as they do up north; This explains why so many cars are being driven around down here without full frontal (bumpers etc.). Sometimes I wonder, what’s keeping their engines in tact.
9. Nightlife is plastic… and greasy.
10. …and ya wonder why the 2000 Election did what it did.
Now, there are some UPsides:
1. Weather is fabulously impeccable. Deciding on what to wear and wardrobe management is super easy.
2. A “Call a Cab” potion from Wet Willies on Ocean Drive + South Beach combo is fab-U-lous! (and best consumed first thing in the morning on a beach day excursion, and it will make the Top 10 above all the more bearable)
In saying all of the above, you can imagine how much joy and pride it brings me to recite my phone number to folks down here as they do a triple-take upon the “917″ intro.. “Yes, that is NINE, ONE, SEVEN… from New York, where people speak English and the nuts and bolts of brain components are screwed on tighter and just overall, things run much more on point.”
Because I miss Union Square…
Union Square is where it all started for me back in the ’99. Good ol’ Union Square West; terrace looking out onto 16th Street where Carrie Bradshaw and the Sex and the City gang once shut down for days of filming. (Ahhh my newbie days! Thank you, NYU) …. And from there, I marched up to a couple of apartments in the Gramercy/Murray Hill and Grand Central/Midtown areas only to find myself back down to the East Village for my last place of dwelling in the city (last, for now, maybe)… just minutes away from the U. The full circle, as that is life. The U will always be my hub-a-dub-dub.
Anyway I received an email the other day from a friend who’s friend (yeah 3rd degree like that) who put together a :30sec spot for MoveOn.org’s ad contest – “Obama in 30 seconds.” Check it out below, I think it’s kind of neat…and well it’s set in Union Square – how could you go wrong? and oh, feel free to vote for it if you feel impelled to, as since the top 5 ads with the highest number of votes will receive national airplay and the producer of the spot (the friend of a friend) has pledged to donate a $20K equipment prize to a local Brooklyn public school if selected. Here it is, “Spell Change” in the square I heart…
April 22nd, 2008 — Dash, Eat and Drink, Play
Today, April 22nd = Earth Day. With all “Go Green” reminders to save our one sweet world being thrown around every which way we turn (and yes, we should be putting into action!), I’d also like to bring to light, a Green reminder to the NBA Playoffs. Yup, we’re in it already! Game 2 of Eastern Conference Quarter Finals vs. Atlanta Hawks is set on Wednesday, April 23rd at 8PM EST. Green leads series 1-0… GO GREEN!!
Lifestyle on the Rise
April 21st, 2008 — Uncategorized
As you are all aware, I’m slated to hit up Shanghai to teach for a year. But of course, I can’t – and won’t – be teaching 24/7. So, what am I going to do with myself during my non-scholastic hours? (or look to do?) Dive into the Far Eastern lifestyle, of course!
Here’s a peek from our friends at Current TV featuring Shanghai-based lifestyle marketer Phil Dorman, as he takes us from Shenzhen to Shanghai to Beijing – uncovering China’s obsession with brands by looking at how affluent Chinese youth today are choosing to express themselves through fashion, nightlife and sports.
Guilty Pleasures… found on a Treadmill!
I’m not one to be all so tuned into stupid celebrity gossip on the norm (though, some may regard as “news” – sorry if I do offend), but here’s something that I am ready to admit…
While within the wall confines of a gym, there is something brilliant that takes over me… (drum roll….)
Treadmill with personal TV attached! Brilliant! Brilliant!
I find myself drawn to this piece of equipment as soon as I step foot as since it is the only time I allow myself to dive into my surfaced-guilty pleasure side of E! News, True Hollywood Stories, Access Hollywood, MTV True Life, Made, America’s Next Top Model and the likes. Damn that Tyra and model-wannabees!
But that’s all I got for now… because.. you guessed it… I’m off to pump some iron!
Young at Heart will Fix You
April 21st, 2008 — Listen
I’ve been meaning to share this for a while now, and have finally gotten around to it. This past weekend, CBS Morning Show brought forth a reminder to me of a segment that featured inspiring individuals of YOUNG@HEART, a New England senior citizens chorus that has delighted audiences worldwide with their covers of songs by everyone from The Bee Gees to Coldplay.
Though I have yet to view the full documentary, this clip is a glimpse of its touching impact. The performer here is Fred Knittle, who suffers from congestive heart failure. This song was initially intended to be a duet between Fred and another chorus member, Bob Salvini. But sadly, Bob passed away of a heart attack a few days before they day of performance and it was left to Fred to carry the song on his own. Here it is, one of my faves, “Fix You” by Coldplay.
and the Coldplay original…

Louise Despont: Energy Scaffolds and Information Architecture
Louise Despont
Energy Scaffolds and Information Architecture is the first solo museum exhibition for Louise Despont, an artist best known for using compasses, stencils, and rulers to create intricate and deeply meditative drawings on ledger paper. For Energy Scaffolds and Information Architecture, The Drawing Center has commissioned a new site-specific architectural installation and several series of large-scale drawings that have been influenced by Despont’s recent relocation to Bali.
The first architectural enclosure on view, entitled Pure Potential, consists of a wooden façade covered by wooden dowels that create a textured and protective surface. For Despont, the series of eight Pure Potential drawings represent the transition of energy from formlessness into form.
The second architectural space, which is oval in shape, holds a monumental frieze drawing that is sixty feet in length, six feet in height, and composed of seven panels. The drawing depicts the relationship between a material form and a subtle body—the independent entity that manifests through the physical self. For Despont, the drawn lines in each work symbolize the invisible structures, channels, and pathways of energy that flow through and exist in symbiosis with the human body. The seven sections of this monumental work are divided by ten columns, each of which is fitted with a diamond form surrounded by a checkered pattern. The design is inspired by the Balinese kain poleng, a manifestation of sacred balance, while the diamond symbolizes the eye of awareness.
As part of the installation, Despont has invited conceptual artist Aaron Taylor Kuffner to present his gamelatron, an original instrument created by Kuffner that is a robotic variant of the gamelan, the traditional Balinese and Javanese orchestra that includes vibraphones, drums, chimes, bells, and gongs.
Curated by Brett Littman, Executive Director.
Louise Despont: Energy Scaffolds and Information Architecture is made possible by the support of Anna Getty, Jerry Bruckheimer, Fred and Nancy Poses, Eric and Fiona Rudin, John Sughrue, Steven Roth, Barry Siadat, Morris Orden, and David and Susan Marco. Additional support is provided by members of The Drawing Center's Exhibition Fund.

View 222 cruises
Whilst Fred Olsen doesn't consciously market itself as a small ship operator in the way that some of the bespoke luxury lines do, its fleet is comprised of ships that are generally regarded as small by modern standards, and for many guests the more cosy atmosphere and lack of big scale entertainment and facilities is all part of the charm. The line's fleet is the second oldest of any major cruise operator, and includes two ships that date from the early 1970s. They have been modernised extensively since then and offer a good level of style and comfort, but obviously this isn't the place to come if you're looking for the latest technological advances.
Fred Olsen is a line that prides itself on doing things the right way and it retains an old school charm harking back to an earlier era. Unquestionably its ships do not have the high class feel of the newer luxury vessels operated by many of its competitors, and you would struggle to place it in the same category as some of its more upmarket rivals, but the line has a loyal following notwithstanding that.
Whilst Fred Olsen does theoretically cater for guests of all ages, there is no doubt that its resolutely traditional approach to cruising does primarily attract an older clientele. Young families are fairly few and far between and most guests choose the line because of a desire to avoid more modern forms of entertainment and sports facilities.
As you might expect from a line that is home to two of the oldest cruise ships of any major operator, Fred Olsen does not market itself on the basis of being innovative. This is a line for people that enjoy reminiscing about the good old days and are not bothered by the absence of the more modern touches which are now the norm in the cruise industry.
In keeping with its traditional image, Fred Olsen has largely shunned the general move towards a more casual style of cruising. There are of course options to cater for all tastes, but formality of dress and behaviour is still the norm around most of the dining and entertainment venues.

Padding a suitcase with books and magazines is a thing of the past, thanks to the recent explosion of electronic reading devices. Thousands of books, magazines and newspapers can be downloaded to a digital reader, giving travelers immediate access to a personal library at a fraction of the bulk and weight. Below, Consulting considers the pros and cons of four of the most popular devices.
Libre$149; www.aluratek.comGiven the price, Aluratek’s Libre is a good starter model. It has a smaller screen (5 inches), a shorter battery life (a claim of 24 hours, although some think that’s a bit optimistic), doesn’t have a backlight, and isn’t quite as user friendly as its competitors. But at less than half the price of other options, it’s certainly worth considering.

(E) Rudolf Steiner founder of Waldorf Schools born in Croatia
By Nenad N. Bach | Published 07/20/2003 | Education | Unrated
Rudolf Steiner founder of Waldorf Schools
Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925)
When books and an individual come into collision and there is a hollow sound, this need not be the fault of the books!
Dear Nenad,
This article appeared in "Conscious Choice" magazine in Chicago and
mentions his humble beginnings as the son of a railway official born in a
small Croatian village.. He was on the front cover titled "The spiritually
gifted life of Rudolf Steiner". "The Truth About Rudolf Steiner" the founder
of "Waldorf" Schools, author of about 25 books, presenter of over 6000
lectures, a man who was simply decades ahead of his time - a true forerunner
and messenger of love and freedom. Here is more information about him and
the Waldorf Schools.
Rudolf Steiner was born 1861 in Kraljevica (Croatia) of Austrian
Catholic parents. He is viewed in America as German philosopher. Steiner's
anthroposophical teaching, presented as "spiritual science," is an
extraordinary synthesis of "organic" ideas in nineteen-century German
thought with theosophical material and fresh occult intuitions. The model
for fuller knowledge of individual beings is the organic idea of a
self-evolving and self-directing organism, which Goethe saw in the "primal
plant." The method for generalizing such knowledge is one of intuitive
thinking. Steiner espoused a "monism of thought": a valid world image is
ever building as individual spirits live in (miterleben) the organic world
Heralding Nietzsche's independence of thought, Steiner followed him in
rejecting both natural teleology and objective moral laws. Yet he maintained
that Nietzsche was always protesting and tragically dashing his free spirit
against an alien culture and a limited science of nature. Nietzsche's
doctrine of "eternal recurrence," however, was a factor which led Steiner to
give sympathetic attention to Indian thought. Nature is, after all, but one
manifestation of spiritual reality, which reveals itself more directly in
thought and in art. Among Indian ideas which Steiner adopted while a
theosophist is fourfold construction of man on earth as having the physical,
the either, the astral bodies, and the "I" with their respective powers of
development and transformation.
While the higher aim of Steiner's pedagogy was to develop special
powers of spiritual insight, the cultivation of moral balance, a harmony of
virtuous dispositions intermediate between excesses and defects, was
considered a prerequisite.
Josip Remenar - SutrA magazine - New York
"Waldorf Schools"
"His ideas are all based on his insights into the nature of the human
being and his insights into the spiritual life. Steiner believed people
should come to know higher worlds through their own searching.
The best known and most widely accepted idea of Steiner's is Waldorf
education. Steiner designed the Waldorf system in 1919 for the children of
workers at the Waldorf Astoria cigarette factory in Stuttgart, Germany, at
the request of factory owner Emil Molt. His creation was based on his theory
of the three developmental stages. Early childhood, until age7, whenchildren learn best
through physical activity and play; age 7 to 14, when children learn
through feeling and the imagination; age 14 and up, when children can begin
to develop their intellect. Waldorf schools are rich in the arts and
storytelling. Seasonal festivals, fairy tales, myths, and legends feed a
child's creative spirit. This educational approach was way ahead of its
time, applying the theory of multiple intelligences and sensory experiential
learning some 60 years before
the theory was introduced in our culture. Teachers create the
educational experience and the same teacher stays with the class from first
to eighth grade. Teachers also run the school. While Waldorf is based on
anthrposophy, the philosophy is not taught to
children. "The whole idea of Waldorf is NOT to fill a child up with
information and not to inculcate a dogma, but to allow children to
develop into adults who can think for themselves," said Edwards.
Parents who send their children to Waldorf Schools are not necessarily
students of anthroposophy. "There is a wide range of reasons people send
their children to our school," says Colleen Everhart, high school
chairperson and drama teacher at Chicago Waldorf. "Some are familiar with
anthroposophy and want an education based on that, others follow a holistic
way of living and
eating organic food; others want an alternative form of education."
"The pre-schoolers gather round a candlelit table; holding hands they
sing the blessing. Soon they will eat organic bread rolls, which they helped
bake. This is snack time at Waters Edge School, A Waldorf initiative and a
brainchild of Rudolf Steiner - this on located in the north of Chicago
suburb of Wauconda." "This was the education I wished I had had; this was
the education I was
determined to give to my son...."
by: Claudia Lenart
What is Waldorf Education?
Developed by Rudolf Steiner in 1919, Waldorf education is based on a
developmental approach that addresses the needs of the growing child and
maturing adolescent. Waldorf teachers strive to transform education in to an
art that educates the whole child-the heart and the hands, as well as the
head. For more information, please go the Waldorf Education page.
Are Waldorf schools religious?
Waldorf schools are non-sectarian and non-denominational. They educate
all children, regardless of their cultural or religious backgrounds. The
pedagogical method is comprehensive, and, as part of its task, seeks to
bring about recognition and understanding of all the world cultures and
religions. Waldorf schools are not part of any church. They espouse no
particular religious doctrine but are based on a belief that there is a
spiritual dimension to the human being and to all of life. Waldorf families
come from a broad spectrum of religious traditions and interest.
What is the curriculum like in a Waldorf school?
Waldorf Education approaches all aspects of schooling in a unique and
comprehensive way. The curriculum is designed to meet the various stages of
child development. Waldorf teachers are dedicated to creating a genuine
inner enthusiasm for learning, that is essential for educational success.
Pre-kindergarten and kindergarten children learn primarily through
imitation and imagination. The goal of the kindergarten is to develop a
sense of wonder in the young child and reverence for all living things. This
creates an eagerness for the academics that follow in the grades.
Kindergarten activities include:
a.. storytelling, puppetry, creative play;
b.. singing, eurhythmy (movement);
c.. games and finger plays;
d.. painting, drawing and beeswax modeling;
e.. baking and cooking, nature walks;
f.. foreign language and circle time for festival and seasonal
Elementary and middle-school children learn through the guidance of a
class teacher who stays with the class ideally for eight years.
The curriculum includes:
a.. English based on world literature, myths, and legends
b.. history that is chronological and inclusive of the world's great
c.. science that surveys geography, astronomy, meteorology, physical
and life sciences
d.. mathematics that develops competence in arithmetic, algebra, and
e.. foreign languages; physical education; gardening
f.. arts including music, painting, sculpture, drama, eurhythmy,
g.. handwork such as knitting, weaving, and woodworking
The Waldorf high school is dedicated to helping students develop their
full potential as scholars, artists, athletes, and community members. The
course of study includes:
a.. a humanities curriculum that integrates history, literature, and
knowledge of world cultures;
b.. a science curriculum that includes physics, biology, chemistry,
geology, and a four-year college preparatory mathematics program;
c.. an arts and crafts program including calligraphy, drawing,
painting, sculpture, pottery, weaving, block printing and bookbinding;
d.. a performing arts program offering orchestra, choir, eurhythmy
and drama;
e.. a foreign language program;
f.. a physical education program.
Does Waldorf education prepare children for the "real" world; and, if
so, how does it do it?
It is easy to fall into the error of believing that education must
make our children fit into society. Although we are certainly influenced by
what the world brings us, the fact is that the world is shaped by people,
not people by the world. However, that shaping of the world is possible in a
healthy way only if the shapers are themselves in possession of their full
nature as human beings.
Education in our materialistic, Western society focuses on the
intellectual aspect of the human being and has chosen largely to ignore the
several other parts that are essential to our well-being. These include our
life of feeling (emotions, aesthetics, and social sensitivity), our
willpower (the ability to get things done), and our moral nature (being
clear about right and wrong). Without having these developed, we are
incomplete-a fact that may become obvious in our later years, when a feeling
of emptiness begins to set in. That is why in a Waldorf school, the
practical and artistic subjects play as important a role as the full
spectrum of traditional academic subjects that the school offers. The
practical and artistic are essential in achieving a preparation for life in
the "real" world.
Waldorf Education recognizes and honors the full range of human
potentialities. It addresses the whole child by striving to awaken and
ennoble all the latent capacities. The children learn to read, write, and do
math; they study history, geography, and the sciences. In addition, all
children learn to sing, play a musical instrument, draw, paint, model clay,
carve and work with wood, speak clearly and act in a play, think
independently, and work harmoniously and respectfully with others. The
development of these various capacities is interrelated. For example, both
boys and girls learn to knit in grade one. Acquiring this basic and
enjoyable human skill helps them develop a manual dexterity, which after
puberty will be transformed into an ability to think clearly and to "knit"
their thoughts into a coherent whole.
Preparation for life includes the development of the well-rounded
person. Waldorf Education has as its ideal a person who is knowledgeable
about the world and human history and culture, who has many varied practical
and artistic abilities, who feels a deep reverence for and communion with
the natural world, and who can act with initiative and in freedom in the
face of economic and political pressures.
There are many Waldorf graduates of all ages who embody this ideal and
who are perhaps the best proof of the efficacy of the education.
From Five Frequently Asked Questions by Colin Price
from Renewal Magazine, Spring/Summer 2003
Why do Waldorf schools teach reading so late?
There is evidence that normal, healthy children who learn to read
relatively late are not disadvantaged by this, but rather are able quickly
to catch up with, and may overtake, children who have learned to read early.
Additionally, they are much less likely to develop the "tiredness toward
reading" that many children taught to read at a very early age experience
later on. Instead there is lively interest in reading and learning that
continues into adulthood. Some children will, out of themselves, want to
learn to read at an early age. This interest can and should be met, as long
as it comes in fact from the child. Early imposed formal instruction in
reading can be a handicap in later years, when enthusiasm toward reading and
learning may begin to falter.
If reading is not pushed, a healthy child will pick it up quite
quickly and easily. Some Waldorf parents become anxious if their child is
slow to learn to read. Eventually these same parents are overjoyed at seeing
their child pick up a book and not put it down and become from that moment a
voracious reader. Each child has his or her own optimal time for "taking
off." Feelings of anxiety and inferiority may develop in a child who is not
reading as well as her peers. Often this anxiety is picked up from parents
concerned about the child's progress. It is important that parents should
deal with their own and their child's apprehensions.
Human growth and development do not occur in a linear fashion, nor can
they be measured. What lives, grows, and has its being in human life can
only be grasped with that same human faculty that can grasp the invisible
metamorphic laws of living nature.
Would a child be at a disadvantage if he were transferred from a
public school into a Waldorf school, or out of a Waldorf school into a
public school?
Children who transfer to a Waldorf school in the first four grades
usually are up to grade in reading, math, and basic academic skills.
However, they usually have much to learn in bodily coordination skills,
posture, artistic and social activities, cursive handwriting, and listening
skills. Listening well is particularly important since most of the
curricular content is presented orally in the classroom by the teacher. The
human relationship between the child and the teacher is the basis for
healthy learning, for the acquiring of understanding and knowledge rather
than just information. Children who are used to learning from computers and
other electronic media will have to adjust.
Those children who enter a Waldorf school in the middle grades often
bring much information about the world. This contribution should be
recognized and received with interest by the class. However, these children
often have to unlearn some social habits, such as the tendency to experience
learning as a competitive activity. They have to learn to approach the arts
in a more objective way, not simply as a means for personal expression. In
contrast, in their study of nature, history, and the world, they need to
relate what they learn to their own life and being. The popular ideal of
"objectivity" in learning is misguided when applied to elementary school
children. At their stage of development, the subjective element is essential
for healthy learning. Involvement in what is learned about the world makes
the world truly meaningful to them.
Children who transfer out of a Waldorf school into a public school
during the earlier grades probably have to upgrade their reading ability and
to approach the science lessons differently. Science in a Waldorf school
emphasizes the observation of natural phenomena rather than the formulation
of abstract concepts and laws. On the other hand, the Waldorf transferees
are usually well prepared for social studies, practical and artistic
activities, and mathematics.
Children moving during the middle grades should experience no
problems. In fact, in most cases, transferring students of this age-group
find themselves ahead of their classmates. The departing Waldorf student is
likely to take along into the new school a distinguishing individual
strength, personal confidence, and love of learning.
Why do Waldorf schools recommend the limiting of television, videos,
and radio for young children?
A central aim of Waldorf Education is to stimulate the healthy
development of the child's own imagination. Waldorf teachers are concerned
that electronic media hampers the development of the child's imagination.
They are concerned about the physical effects of the medium on the
developing child as well as the content of much of the programming.
There is more and more research to substantiate these concerns. See

Computers Affect Our Children's Minds For Better and Worse by Jane Healy;
Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television by Jerry Mander; The
Plug-In Drug by Marie Winn; and Evolution's End: Claiming The Potential of
Our Intelligence by Joseph Chilton Pearce.
What about computers and Waldorf Education?
Waldorf teachers feel the appropriate age for computer use in the
classroom and by students is in high school. We feel it is more important
for students to have the opportunity to interact with one another and with
teachers in exploring the world of ideas, participating in the creative
process, and developing their knowledge, skills, abilities, and inner
qualities. Waldorf students have a love of learning, an ongoing curiosity,
and interest in life. As older students, they quickly master computer
technology, and graduates have successful careers in the computer industry.

How do Waldorf graduates do after graduation?
Waldorf students have been accepted in and graduated from a broad
spectrum of colleges and universities including Stanford, UC Berkeley,
Harvard, Yale, Brown, and all of the top universities. Waldorf graduates
reflect a wide diversity of professions and occupations including medicine,
law, science, engineering, computer technology, the arts, social science,
government, and teaching at all levels. Waldorf high schools can provide
specific data on the university affiliations, professions, and
accomplishments of their graduates. A list of Waldorf high schools is
available on the Alumni Information page.
What is Eurythmy?
Eurythmy is the art of movement that attempts to make visible the tone
and feeling of music and speech. Eurythmy helps to develop concentration,
self-discipline, and a sense of beauty. This training of moving artistically
with a group stimulates sensitivity to the other as well as individual
mastery. Eurythmy lessons follow the themes of the curriculum, exploring
rhyme, meter, story, and geometric forms.
A Waldorf class teacher ideally stays with a group of children through
the eight elementary school years. What if my child does not get along with
the teacher?
This question often arises because of a parent's experience of public
school education. In most public schools, a teacher works with a class for
one, maybe two years. It is difficult for teacher and child to develop the
deep human relationship that is the basis for healthy learning if change is
frequent.
If a teacher has a class for several years, the teacher and the
children come to know and understand each other in a deep way. The children,
feeling secure in a long-term relationship, are better able to learn. The
interaction of teacher and parents also can become more deep and meaningful
over time, and they can cooperate in helping the child.
Serious problems between teachers and children, and between teachers
and parents, do arise. When this happens, the college of teachers studies
the situation, involves the teacher and parents-and, if appropriate, the
child-and tries to resolve the conflict. If the differences are
irreconcilable, the parents might be asked to withdraw the child, or the
teacher might be replaced.
In reality, these measures very rarely need to be taken. A Waldorf
class is something like a family. If a mother in a family does not get along
with her son during a certain time, she does not consider resigning or
replacing him with another child. Rather, she looks at the situation and
sees what can be done to improve the relationship. In other words, the adult
assumes responsibility and tries to change. This same approach is expected
of the Waldorf teacher in a difficult situation. In almost every case she
must ask herself: "How can I change so that the relationship becomes more
positive?" One cannot expect this of the child. My experience is that with
the goodwill and active support of the parents, the teacher concerned can
make the necessary changes and restore the relationship to a healthy and
productive state.
How can a Waldorf class teacher teach all the subjects through the
eight years of elementary schooling?
The class teacher is not the only teacher the children experience.
Each day, specialty subject teachers teach the children eurythmy,
handcrafts, a foreign language, instrumental music, and so on.
The class teacher is, however, responsible for the two-hour "main
lesson" every morning and usually also for one or two lessons later in the
day. In the main lesson, she brings all the main academic subjects to the
children, including language arts, the sciences, history, and mathematics,
as well as painting, music, clay modeling, and so on. The teacher does in
fact deal with a wide range of subjects, and thus the question is a valid
A common misconception in our time is that education is merely the
transfer of information. From the Waldorf point of view, true education also
involves the awakening of capacities-the ability to think clearly and
critically, to empathetically experience and understand phenomena in the
world, to distinguish what is beautiful, good, and true. The class teacher
walks a path of discovery with the children and guides them into an
understanding of the world of meaning, rather than the world of cause and
Waldorf class teachers work very hard to master the content of the
various subjects that they teach. But the teacher's ultimate success lies in
her ability to work with those inner faculties that are still "in the bud,"
so that they can grow, develop, and open up in a beautiful, balanced, and
wholesome way.
Through this approach to teaching, the children will be truly prepared
for the real world. They are provided then with the tools to productively
shape that world out of a free human spirit.
What is the tuition at a Waldorf school? Is there financial assistance
Enrollment and tuition costs vary from school to school and are
comparable to other private schools in the same geographic location that are
not subsidized through church affiliations. In the United States, Waldorf
schools are independent and are supported by tuition income, fees, and
charitable contributions. Each school develops its financial aid assistance
policies and determines the amount of tuition assistance it can offer. There
is no North American general fund at this time to assist individual children
to go to a Waldorf school. For the most current tuition information, you may
contact individual schools directly through our Affiliated Schools list.
I've looked in your search engine and can't find a school in my area.
Are there any other schools?
If you are looking for a kindergarten, there may be a stand-alone
Waldorf kindergarten in your area. Contact the Waldorf Early Childhood
Association at www.waldorfearlychildhood.com, email
info@waldorfearlychildhood.com.
Are there resources for Waldorf home schooling?
Yes. Waldorfhomeschooling.org offers many resources. Waldorf home
schooling conferences are held in California every year, organized by Rahima
Baldwin-Dancy, author of You Are Your Child's First Teacher.
Are there any Waldorf schools for developmentally disabled children?
Somerset School in California and Beaver Run in Pennsylvania are both
specially geared towards children with special needs. Rudolf Steiner worked
with developmentally disabled for several years, and there are both schools
and adult communities based out of Anthroposophy. Please visit the Camphill
Association of North America's website for more information.
Where can I find an international list of Waldorf schools?

Starting a Waldorf School
Initiative groups follow many different patterns in their development,
but in recent years a certain trend has evolved which seems to be helpful to
many groups. The initiative groups usually begin study groups for adults,
and after a few years start a playgroup for children. After a year or two
more they may feel ready to found a kindergarten, and several years later
may have grown to the point where a school can be founded. As you can see,
it takes time to initiate a school, and it can easily take seven years or
longer from the beginning of the first study group to the opening of the
first grade. The timing varies from one community to another, but all have
found that it is essential to have a strong foundation in Waldorf Education
and Anthroposophy if their school is to grow and thrive, and such a
foundation is not laid overnight. A Waldorf school is not just an
alternative to public schools or another independent school; its curriculum
and philosophy proceed from the worldview and the insights into the nature
of the child that Rudolf Steiner has given us in Anthroposophy. If there is
not a core community surrounding the school initiative that is thoroughly
familiar with and committed to that philosophy and pedagogy, then it is
unlikely that the initiative will prosper.
Communities also find that while enthusiastic parents are essential
for helping to found a school, this same enthusiasm can lead one to decide
to found a school too quickly. Just as Waldorf schools are nonprofit
organizations that are not created for the financial benefit of any
individual, so their founding must also have an element of selflessness
rather than being created to benefit certain children and their families. We
know this can be a difficult thing to hear, but the pace of development is
probably the single greatest factor in determining the future strength or
weakness of a school. A weak, hastily built foundation remains with a school
for its lifetime, and one sees the effects of it again and again. We all
want schools that will flourish and thrive, and it's quite possible to found
such schools if one works hard and does not rush.
Many communities have been inventive in meeting their own children's
needs in the years before a school is started. They have had regular
festival celebrations for families, organized puppet shows, painting
classes, or other activities. Some have developed programs for
elementary-aged children who are unable to go to Waldorf schools. These
programs usually focus on the Waldorf story curriculum, the arts, and
festival celebrations. They meet after school or on Saturday mornings.
Leaders of such programs do not need to be fully trained Waldorf teachers.
Often they are parents who are educating themselves about Waldorf Education
through summer courses and other studies.
Returning to the basic pattern, which has evolved in recent years, we'
d like to go over the steps one by one, sharing with you some of what the
schools themselves have told us.
The Truth About
This 20th Century Spiritual Genius Helps Us Grasp the Concepts of
HigherWorlds, Reincarnation, and the Working of the Human Soul.
by Ralph White
Conscious Choice, June 2003
Exactly one hundred years ago something spiritually remarkable was
happening in Central Europe. A figure had emerged with the most profound
insight into the deepest mysteries of the human experience: death,
reincarnation, the existence of higher worlds, and the destiny of human
evolution. He was highly educated in Western philosophy and science, widely
read in cultural and artistic matters, and possessed a magnetic gift as a
public speaker and writer. Over the course of the next 25 years he gave over
6,000 lectures, none of them the same, wrote 25 books, and founded major new
impulses in education, agriculture, medicine, and numerous other
disciplines. A century later the schools that developed from his spiritual
insight into the
development of the child constitute the world's most widespread,
independent approach to education. His organic approach to farming and
agriculture preceded the back to the land movement of the '60s by half a
century and is now widely practiced. And villages inspired by his work for
"those in need of special care" -- physically challenged and disabled adults
and children, are found on every continent. Surely such a figure would be a
household name among the millions in North America who consider themselves
part of the consciousness community -- people concerned with the very issues
to which this individual had devoted his life. It would be hard to imagine
that someone so dedicated to serving humanity and so successful in his
efforts would be mostly unknown to the many who take pride in their
commitment to spiritual and social renewal. Yet that is exactly what has
happened. Somehow, Rudolf Steiner -- perhaps the most spiritually gifted and
accomplished figure of the 20th Century --remains marginalized by most
cultural creatives today. A man who felt his destiny was, above all, to give
to the modern world a correct and scrupulous understanding of karma and
reincarnation, has been largely forgotten as a spiritual teacher while the
Tibetan Book of the Dead and all things Buddhist have become hip and
fashionable. How can this be? Clearly, it didn't help that Steiner died in
1925, that he never came to America, and that all his lectures were given in
German. New readers can be easily overwhelmed by the sheer volume of his
the difficulty of knowing where to start, and the frequent use of
unfamiliarterms.
To be sure, Steiner's books are never easy reading. Each one demands
the intense mental effort of grasping totally new thoughts that seriously
expand the mind and the imagination. The result, however, is that the reader
emerges with a magnificent conception of the journey of spiritual evolution
that encompasses the mystery centers and civilizations of the ancient world,
the medieval and renaissance mystics, the full spectrum of philosophy, and
the attainment of knowledge of higher worlds. An awakened reader also
develops an overwhelming sense of the vastness of human existence. When we
read Steiner on what he calls "the life between death and rebirth" we are
not perplexed by arcane accounts of the various bardo
states that often require a lama for explication. Instead, he paints a
lucid picture of the moment of death when a vast tableau of our life rises
before us. This is followed by the phase he calls kamaloca in which the soul
relives its life backwards, this time infinitely more sensitive to the
effects produced on others by its actions. This is really the moral
purification or ennoblement of the soul that has come down to us in twisted
form as purgatory. After this extended period when we truly grasp the
consequences of our actions, the soul is said to journey out into devachan,
the sphere of the planetary intelligences, imbibing cosmic wisdom until the
"midnight hour of existence" is reached and it begins its journey toward
rebirth. Then, aided bythe magnificent super-angelic beings that have come down to us in
meager and distorted form as the plump little cherubim and seraphim of
church decoration, we shape the contours of our future incarnation to
balance the actions of our previous life. As Saul Bellow, for years a
serious student of Rudolf Steiner, has commented, this is a view of human
life and death that is hair-raising. And it must be said that even if only
five percent of what Steiner describes is true, then our lives and deaths
are the wildest cosmic ride any of us could ever ask for.
A Gifted Mortal Now, how did he know all of this? Most mortals have a
hard enough time just making it through the day without finding time to
contemplate these spiritual subtleties. Rudolf Steiner, however, was blessed
by clairvoyant vision from the age of nine when he first became aware of
spiritual beings beyond the material plane. But he was far from a
woolly-minded mystic. Despite his humble beginnings as the son of a railway
official in a small Croatian village, he went on to pursue a rigorous
education in technical and scientific subjects in Vienna, and then to
receive a doctorate in philosophy.
At the age of 24, his intellectual gifts were recognized and he was
invited to edit the scientific works of the great German poet and
playwright, Goethe. He then spent years immersed in scholarship in the
Goethe-Schiller Archives in Weimar before moving to Berlin and teaching at a
workers' educational institute, along with figures like Rosa Luxemburg. It
was only after the 20th Century had begun and he had turned 40 that he began
to speak openly of esoteric matters. Until that point, he had been known as
a philosopher, scholar, writer, editor, and cultural commentator. Suddenly,
he completely shocked his contemporaries by giving detailed, sophisticated
talks on the most profound spiritual subjects that clearly displayed a level
of knowledge unrivaled by anyone at that time in the Western world. It is
difficult for most of us to imagine what the early years of the last century
were like. Many people of cultural influence and social prominence were
strongly drawn to the new spiritual wisdom then appearing through people
like Steiner in Central Europe and Gurdjieff and Ouspensky in Russia. It was
a time of immense optimism and Steiner rapidly drew to himself a significant
following as he began a tireless series of lectures all over Europe. The new
century seemed to promise unimpeded progress and work was begun in
Switzerland on a striking new building, the Goetheanum, which was intended
to become a
center for the deepest spiritual mysteries.
Unfortunately, the outbreak of the First World War intervened, an
event that Steiner observed at close hand through his contacts with a
high-ranking member of the German General Staff. His views on how it came
about, partially detailed in the book The Karma of Untruthfulness, contain
much that is of value to us as we contemplate how we have been manipulated
into the war in Iraq. Steiner was never blind to the dark side of existence.
In fact, he felt strongly that the development of a deeper understanding of
evil was an essential spiritual requirement of the modern age and he did all
he could to
awaken people to the increasingly powerful influence of regressive,
materialistic impulses. After the war, he continued to teach widely
and write. He discouraged any tendency of others to view him as a guru,
believing that such a role was no longer appropriate in the modern age when
the spirit of individual freedom is paramount. His constant emphasis was on
the possibility of awakening through meditation higher faculties that
slumber in the souls of all humans and the crucial necessity of doing this
if people were to respond to the urgent spiritual requirements of the day.
He saw his teaching as a contemporary
successor to the holy wisdom understood in the ancient cultures of
India, Persia, Egypt, and Greece. Then it had been confined to mystery
centers like Delphi and Ephesus where only the carefully selected could be
initiated into the deepest mysteries of existence. Now, however, it was
available to all and the opportunity was presented to humanity to lift
itself beyond the materialism of the 19th Century to a renewed sense of
membership in a spiritually alive cosmos. Now we could bring to the inner
world the same rigorous, objective, scientific spirit that we had applied to
the outer world, and we could do so with autonomy and without superstition.
However, if the world failed to awaken, he foresaw dire consequences that
might abort our evolution and deny the very purpose for which human beings
had come into existence His work attracted the hostile attention of the
early Nazis and they violently disrupted a number of his lectures. He,
however, refused to be cowed or deterred in any way. In the last five years
of his life many people began to approach him to ask how Anthroposophy or
Spiritual Science, the titles he gave
to his work, could be applied to practical realms. Farmers, teachers,
doctors, and priests all longed for renewal in their fields and Steiner's
response was gracious. He had only to be asked. Then he felt spiritually
bound to give all he could. His lecture series on education, offered
originally to workers and management of the Waldorf tobacco factory in
Stuttgart who wanted to start a school, became the seed of the worldwide
Waldorf School movement. His talks to farmers
in Silesia became the source of the whole movement for biodynamic
agriculture that he viewed as essential if both human and environmental
health were to be maintained. He even gave a wonderful lecture series to
professional beekeepers as he could see that the decline of the honeybee
presaged the demise of healthy food and the rural environment.
What Was He Really Like?
He was simply decades ahead of his time -- a true forerunner and
messenger of love and freedom. But what was he like as a person? Did any
whiff of scandal ever emerge from his life, as it has so often with so many
leading spiritual figures? From the many accounts written by those who knew
him, he was a warm and extremely helpful person of immense integrity whose
weakness may simply have been a great willingness to give private time and
counsel to the many who
asked for it. Despite the photographs that always portray Steiner as a
stern-faced, serious individual, he was apparently extremely funny. He
was also a man of artistic talent as a sculptor and architect who saw the
arts as a vital bridge between the material and spiritual worlds. Why do we
know so little about this extraordinary individual almost 80 years after his
death? It's true that the Anthroposophical Society has branches worldwide,
Waldorf Schools proliferate, biodynamic farming is widely practiced and
respected, and there are literally thousands of initiatives all over the
planet inspired by his work in fields as varied as socially responsible
banking, treatment for drug addiction, herbal and homeopathic medicines,
even puppet-making. But the anthroposophical community has, until recently,
to hold itself somewhat apart from the rest of the holistic movement,
perhaps because Steiner's legacy is so all encompassing that it can appear
complete in itself, requiring little outreach to others. Steiner was
certainly possessed of a comprehensive spiritual genius, but we
know him today mostly through the practical dimensions of his work.
His stunning spiritual research into higher worlds, his encyclopedic
knowledge of esoteric wisdom, and his profound insights into the working of
the human soul all remain strangely ignored by a public yearning for deeper
truths. We desperately want to know the truth about reincarnation, we hear
frequent references to angels, we remain fascinated by the remnants of
ancient mysteries still visible in stone circles and Egyptian monuments. Yet
this man who -- more than any other figure of the last century -- has the
capacity to enlighten us on all these matters, remains mostly unread in
holistic circles. The more than 200 books by and about Rudolf Steiner
available in English constitute an amazing treasure trove of sacred wisdom.
Casual reading they are
not, but the rewards far outweigh the effort involved. While academic
philosophy remains hopelessly detached from real world issues, we have
in Steiner a truly modern spiritual philosopher who felt that he incarnated
with a crucial mission to return to the world the kind of knowledge for
which human hearts increasingly cry out. At a time of immense international
danger, when war and terrorism dominate the
headlines and a sense of foreboding hangs heavy in the air, we may
find ourselves increasingly thankful that this seemingly distant figure,
with words of acute relevance to the present time, showed us how to grasp
and lead the struggle for the soul of humanity in which we now find
ourselves engaged.
Comment #1 (Posted by Laurie Edward.)
I found this to be a very helpful and instructive article. Thank you very much.
I would just like to point out a typographical error - which has probably been done before.
In the introduction it is written that Rudolph Steiner was born in 1961 when of course as stated elsewhere it should read 1861.
Maybe it has been pointed out already.
I apologise if so.
I rate the article very highly.
Laurie Edward.
Comment #2 (Posted by Nenad N. Bach)
Thank you Laurie. We changed it, after you told us. In the subtitle it was correct but in the text it was typo. Much appreciated.

Diadema Reurbanization
Exhibition: Cities | October 11, 2011 by oldadmin
Diadema, near São Paulo, is an industrial city with close to 400,000 residents that has successfully upgraded—or, in the words of former mayor José de Filippi Jr., “reurbanized”—its informal settlements. Filippi points out that favelas have already been urbanized. “The slums are urbanism without urbanists,” he observes, paraphrasing Bernard Rudofsky. In the early 1980s, three out of ten Diadema residents lived in favelas, and by the 1990s, homicides had increased 49% from previous years. Efforts to reduce these figures focused on social and physical inclusion through participatory budgeting and planning. The community helped determine priorities for the annual budget, “distributing resources in a democratic way,” notes Filippi. The community also had a voice in reurbanization meetings with architects, engineers, and social workers from the Housing Secretariat, suggesting upgrades and approving projects on work, part of which was performed by community members themselves.
As a result, a municipal land-tenure program, the first of its kind in Brazil, was established in 1985 to grant favela residents located on public land a “right to use” the land for 90 years, encouraging improvements in homes and neighborhoods. Households located in unsafe locations were cooperatively relocated into new housing built in partnership with the municipality. Residents widened and paved narrow streets and built clean water and sanitation access to the neighborhoods. State-of-the-art hospitals such as the Quarteirão da Saúde, completed in 2008, provide quality healthcare to the city’s poorest residents, and community health agents deliver aid to the most vulnerable residents. Today, only 3% of Diadema’s residents live in favelas, and the homicide rate has dramatically dropped from 140 to 14.3 people killed per 100,000.

New liquid biopsy technique assess melanoma progression
This is very important in melanoma, since it is an aggressive tumour type that metastasizes in a large number of patients
CNIO/DICYT When the surgeon surgically removes a melanoma, some patients are said to be 'cancer-free' and they do not get additional treatment. However, should the fluid obtained in the drainage implanted after surgery be tested using the liquid biopsy technique rather than be disposed of as medical waste, the test might predict the high or low risk of cancer recurrence. Patients with a high risk of late recurrence would get post-surgery treatment.
This is a recent finding by scientists at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), who have discovered that there are biomarkers in the fluid collected from surgically treated patients that reveal the presence of specific mutations and help determine the risk of the cancer coming back after some period of time. This is very important in melanoma, since it is an aggressive tumour type that metastasizes in a large number of patients. Researchers will now try to confirm whether the liquid biopsy technique may be even easier to perform directly on blood samples and whether it can be used in other types of tumours as well. The research work was published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
Detecting the risk of recurrence
The more scientists find about metastasis, the more they know that it is 'consciously' initiated by primary tumours, sending 'anticipatory signals' to other organs and promoting in them a suitable growth environment. These 'anticipatory signals' are primary tumour-derived extracellular vesicles that reach other organs and get them ready to host cancer cells. This is one of the main research interests of Héctor Peinado, Head of the Microenvironment and Metastasis Group at CNIO.
"Our study has confirmed that, in melanoma patients, we can identify populations with higher risk of recurrence using a sensitive, accurate test of the exudative seroma," Peinado explains. The exudative seroma is a fluid that is collected from the drainage tube inserted after surgery and normally disposed of. "Liquid biopsy applied to this seroma has revealed extracellular vesicles and circulating DNA with BRAF gene mutations associated with lower survival rates for melanoma patients." About 40-60% of melanoma cases involve BRAF gene mutations, most frequently the BRAFV600E mutant, studied by the researchers in this manuscript.
The new technique might change the way melanoma patients are followed up. This type of skin cancer has a recurrence rate of up to 50% after lymph node surgery and can be highly invasive. Until now, there was no way to identify the patients with an increased risk of recurrence.
Diagnosis from a drop of blood
Liquid biopsy, used to detect tumour cells in fluids, is a novel technique that complements traditional biopsy. Two important advantages of liquid biopsy are that it is a non-invasive approach (in traditional biopsy, a sample of tissue is taken from the tumour itself) and that it provides information in real time on the progression of the disease. Liquid biopsy has been increasingly used for the past five years, and a growing number of clinical studies have shown its effectiveness over the past three years.
The Head of the CNIO Microenvironment and Metastasis Group has conducted the study along with Piotr Rutkowski, researcher at the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Institute of Oncology, Poland, and José Luis Rodríguez Peralto and Pablo Ortiz, from the 12 de Octubre Hospital in Madrid. They used exudative seroma from melanoma patients to identify those with a higher risk of recurrence. Peinado assessed the technique's potential by analysing simultaneously extracellular vesicles and circulating DNA (tumour-derived cell-free DNA that circulates in body fluids), since "our main goal was not to identify the specific fractions carrying melanoma signals but to increase test sensitivity instead."
With the results of the study, hospitals might implement the technique as from today. "The method is performed in cooperation with clinical laboratories and could easily be applied in clinical practice. It only requires collecting seroma fluids and establishing the relevant protocol for collection, storage and analysis," Peinado remarks.
Liquid biopsy can be used for other types of cancer too, like breast or other tumours whose treatment involves lymphadenectomy - or lymph node dissection followed by drainage. The lymph nodes removed are then evaluated for the presence of cancer. Moreover, although Peinado's study focuses on the BRAF gene, it might be adopted for other tests of gene mutations involved in the development of other tumour types.
However, as the latest trends in cancer treatment show, treatments other than surgery are increasingly being used, which means that the protocol for analysing exudative seroma could be implemented less frequently in the future. Therefore, our researchers are studying the possibility of using the liquid biopsy procedure directly on blood plasma from a blood sample. "Everything seems to indicate that the possibility exists," Peinado says, "but further research is needed."

MOVIE OF THE WEEK: The Lone Ranger
Nope, your eyes aren't deceiving you. 'The Lone Ranger' is my top pick for this week. In case you hadn't heard, this film was a major flop this summer, getting shunned by critics and audiences alike. Well, I clearly disagree as I found it to be one of the most enjoyable films of the year.
Based on an old radio series, this western features Armie Hammer the title character and Johnny Depp as his sidekick Tonto. Teaming up to exact revenge on the man who killed the Lone Ranger's brother, they embark on an adventure through the wild west. What follows is a messy chutzpah that really shouldn't work (and many would say it doesn't), but somehow I found it very entertaining.
Perhaps my positive response to the film is based on my experience watching 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters' the day before. By some strange stroke of fate, 'The Lone Ranger' came along and justified every problem I had with that film. It's perhaps easier to understand my contrarian opinion then, by doing a comparison between the two.
Firstly, I found "Hansel & Gretel" to be very uninspired and plain, but this film definitely had a vivid style. It's often hard to ascertain how certain films accrue such massive budgets, but it's very apparent here. The $215 million budget is all there on the screen, with outstanding production design, makeup, costumes and visual effects.
While "Hansel & Gretel" struggled to establish its tone, "The Lone Ranger" was very consistent with its frivolity. This film uses classic screwball sight gags and audacious stunts that evoke nostalgia for the comedies of Hollywood's Golden Age. I remarked on the ineffectiveness of the R-rated content in "Hansel & Gretel" and this is a great example of the creativity that can still arise out of PG-13. For example, the villain is no less intimidating (he even eats someone's heart!) than Famke Janssen's over the top shenanigans. In general, the danger is just as palpable, maybe even more so.
In terms of the humour, I found this to be much funnier too. Depp's deadpan delivery, quirky antics and his "buddy cop" chemistry with Hammer were fantastic. The same can't be said about the leads (Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton) in "Hansel & Gretel", who suffered from unspecific characterizations.
In the end, I would certainly admit that the script needed some fine-tuning but those strong points left me mostly satisfied. These elements came together best in my favourite moments of the film - the action sequences. The big setpieces here were just so much fun that I couldn't help but ignore the film's flaws. If modern blockbusters are all about the spectacle, then I definitely got my money's worth.

Good review Shane. I disliked this to the high heavens, but I definitely can see why it would have its fan-base. Especially you yourself.
Shane Slater January 5, 2014 at 4:06 PM
Are you saying I have bad taste, Dan? :P
I totally understand why people wouldn't like it, but I found its strong parts very likable.
Jason H. December 31, 2013 at 6:41 PM
I haven't seen The Lone Ranger yet, so take this comment with a grain of salt, but I think the film needed to fail financially. The Lone Ranger strikes me as the type of film that gets so burdened by its expectations and troubled production history that those factors become the bulk of the film's reception. But when given distance from its release, when the film can be judged on its own merit, it turns out to not be the cinematic apocalypse it was originally perceived to be.
It sounds like it was a blast. Great review Shane!
Yep, you're right. I think over time people will come to appreciate it more when the box office talk has died down.
I'm very much in the minority though, so you may very well hate it yourself! Thanks for the comment.

I agree. I loved "Depp's deadpan delivery, quirky antics and his buddy cop chemistry with Hammer." He's hilarious. I wrote a short essay on The Lone Ranger called "Laughing at Racial Stereotypes."

Woman flees Indus Road flat fire, 150 residents self-evacuated
AllWoman flees Indus Road flat fire, 150 residents self-evacuated
150 residents self-evacuated, three taken to hospital for smoke inhalation in an evening fire on 3 Sep 2018.
The fire broke out in Block 78 Indus Road around 9.30pm, and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said flames engulfed the living room, kitchen and one bedroom of the Housing Board unit.
Residents said the maid who raised the alarm was alone in the 15th-storey unit at Block 78 and was taking a shower when the fire broke out.
She lived there with an elderly woman and her two sons, but the woman died last month. The two men were not at home on Monday night.

Farmers day: Fish Breeding & Genetics
Advanced aquaculture breeding training workshop
Breeding for Improved Disease Resistance in European Farmed Fish
Improving the genetic resistance of farmed fish to some of the most problematic infectious diseases in European aquaculture is the goal of Work Package 1 (WP1) of the FISHBOOST project. In year 1 of FISHBOOST, a series of disease challenge experiments have been undertaken on populations of juvenile fish with known pedigree. The data collected from these challenges will be used to quantify the genetic variation in disease resistance in these populations, and to develop genetic markers that can be used to find underlying resistance genes and to breed more resistant stocks.
Infectious disease outbreaks present one of the biggest threats to reliable and sustainable production of finfish in Europe. During such outbreaks, typically some fish in a population are much worse affected than others. This variation is due to both genetic and environmental factors. Quantifying and characterising the genetic factors can lead to development of more resistant stock via selective breeding programmes.
In WP1, the following disease challenge experiments have been undertaken during year 1 of FISHBOOST. The experiments incorporate viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases in several finfish species and are typically collaborative projects between industrial and academic partners.
- Flavobacterium in rainbow trout (rainbow trout fry syndrome) led by INRA in France
- Koi Herpes Virus in common carp led by University of South Bohemia in Czech Republic
- Viral Nervous Necrosis in sea bass led by Ferme Marine du Douhet and Ifremer in France
- Pasteurellosis in sea bream led by University of Padova in Italty
- Sparicotyle chrysophrii in sea bream led by Andromeda and HCMR in Greece
- Philasterides dicentrarchi in turbot led by CETGA in Spain
First turbot trial at CETGA
The fish samples from these studies will now be genotyped using Restriction site Associated DNA (RAD) sequencing, and (in some cases) microsatellite markers for parentage analysis. The RAD-Seq data will generate new genetic markers dispersed throughout the genomes of each of the fish species, and analyses will be performed to determine which markers are associated with disease resistance.
In several of these studies, siblings from the same set of families will be recorded for various production efficiency traits (WP2). This is possible due to the large family sizes of the species, and this will enable powerful assessment of the genetic correlation between disease resistance trait and production traits which is important for commercial application of the results
The disease resistance challenges have largely been completed in year 1 of FISHBOOST. The sequencing and family assignment will occur in year 2, and the results of the analyses of genetic resistance in year 3.
The results of the experiments will then be applied to breeding programmes through family selection and the development of genetic marker tests for resistance genes. This improvement of genetic resistance of farmed fish stocks in Europe through selective breeding will contribute to the control of infectious disease outbreaks in aquaculture.

Slovakia hope to avoid relegation in match against Ukraine

Slovakia vs Ukraine – Friday, November 16, 19:45 GMT/20:45 CET – Štadión Antona Malatinského, Trnava, Slovakia

Originally, favoured to win the group, Slovakia now find themselves in a dire situation. Their third match in Group 1 will be a potential relegation match. Within the course of the calendar year, the Slovakian Football Federation has gone through three managerial changes.
Ján Kozak, who managed the national team from July 2013 – October 2018, was sacked following his side’s loss against Ukraine. Štefan Tarkovič was then hired as his replacement, but the subsequent defeat to the Czech Republic saw him lose his job as well. Now, with relegation to League C on the line, Pavel Hapal must help his side earn a victory on matchday 3.

Throughout their first two UEFA Nations League fixtures, the Sokolihave scored only one goal. They have also conceded three goals, thus putting themselves in a difficult situation as they hold a negative goal differential. For a team that has the likes of Marek Hamšík, Adam Nemec and Róbert Mak, this simply is not good enough.
Therefore, with this information in mind, the objective for Slovakia is straightforward. To avoid relegation, the Slovaks must defeat Ukraine. Otherwise, should they fail to claim a victory at home, it seems they will be dumped into the UEFA Nations League’s lower-tier League C.
Ukraine, on the other hand, can afford to cruise in this match. Having already secured promotion to the competition’s League A, the Ukrainians can now relax in their final competitive fixture in 2018. Over the span of 2018, Zbirnaremain undefeated. The Yellow-Blues have earned five wins, and three draws this year. They have scored 12 goals and conceded five in eight matches. Simply put, this has been a very good year for manager Andriy Shevchenko and his side.
A victory on Friday would help boost their UEFA coefficient in the forthcoming EURO 2020 qualification group draw. There is some reassurance, however. Winning League B – Group 1 means the Ukrainians have qualified for at least the second round of qualifications for EURO 2020. In other words, they are guaranteed to feature in the EURO 2020 playoffs. Therefore, the Ukrainians are coasting into the upcoming competition.
This is no time for complacency, however. Their recent performances against Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Italy have shown that Zbirna will need to face a higher calibre of opponents. Should they allow arrogance to creep into their play, they will surely be outmatched during the EURO 2020 qualification period.
Slovakia vs Ukraine – Players to Watch:
Róbert Mak #20 – Slovakia (Zenit St. Petersburg)
Slovakia have only scored one goal in their two UEFA Nations League matches. This is simply not good enough. If they are to avoid relegation, their midfield must perform. Róbert Mak tormented Ukraine during the EURO 2016 qualification period, and he must channel this energy to help his side avoid relegation.

Mykyta Burda #5 – Ukraine (Dynamo Kyiv)
Following his first call-up to the national team, Mykyta Burda has impressed. The young centre back has helped his side earn two clean sheets in four international matches. Moreover, he has forced himself into the first team at the expense of veteran Yaroslav Rakitskiy. With his ability on the ball and strong defensive composure, it is no wonder Ukraine gained promotion to the UEFA Nations League’s prestigious League A.

Slovakia vs Ukraine – Match Statistics:
Ukraine lead the head to head, with three wins, three draws and one loss.
The offensive talent is rather even. Over their past seven meetings, Slovakia has scored six goals to Ukraine’s eight.
Slovakia must win this match to avoid being relegated to the UEFA Nations League’s League C.
Ukraine were one of the competition’s first teams to gain promotion to a higher league.
Slovakia’s Stanislav Lobotka has a knock and may not feature. Lubomír Šatka continues to hold an injury and will not compete in the match.
Ukraine’s Andriy Yarmolenko has an Achilles injury and did not travel with the team.

Matches for "Eric Ell"
Penzance Hanover pocket-rocket Harrah's winner
CHESTER, PA - New York invader Lyons Steel got a rest in the second quarter and then sprinted home in 54.3, reaching the wire in 1:51.2 - usually good enough to win a $16,000 conditioned pace at Harrah's Philadelphia. But on Wednesday afternoon, the Sombeachsomewhere gelding Penzance Hanover, stalking him in the pocket, had just a bit more on the end, pirating the victory away from the frontstepper by a nose under the guidance of David Miller. Penzance Hanover had made a break early upon coming to Philly last time out, but he impressed the crowd enough in his recovery, from 14½ lengths out at the quarter to only 1¾ lengths behind at the wire (though seventh), that they made him the 4-5 favorite. And Penzance Hanover rewarded the confidence, though it took longer than desired for the public and trainer Eric Ell, also co-owner with Ken Wood, Bill Dittmar Jr., Steve Iaquinta, and Toby Rekoon. George Napolitano Jr. guided five winners home first on the Wednesday card, for five different trainers. Napolitano is second to Tim Tetrick in the local standings, and they rank next to each other (Tetrick fourth, Napolitano fifth) in the national yearly totals. George is also the leading sulkysitter 100 miles up the Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension, at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono. The "glamour division" of the sport, the three-year-old pacing colts, come to Philly Town for weekend Pennsylvania-sired action. Friday's card features three divisions of a PA Stallion Series contest, while on Sunday such well-known horses as Well Done, Wes Delight, Hayden Hanover, and Babes Dig Me will be doing battle in three sections of Sire Stakes competition. From the PHHA/Harrah's Philadelphia
Cajon Lightning favored in first Yonkers start
YONKERS, N.Y. – Cajon Lightning looked well-spotted when he drew the inside post position for his Yonkers harness racing debut January 20. Trainer Eric Ell entered the gelding in a $30,000 overnight off a win the Open Handicap at Dover Downs the previous week and hoped Cajon Lightning would show speed and control the race. But while Cajon Lightning was shipping up from Delaware, Ell received a disappointing phone call: the truck had broken down on the highway, putting Cajon Lightning in jeopardy of missing the race. “When he called me and told me he broke down, I got another truck real quick and started up that way, but then I started making phone calls and I tried to find somebody closer that could grab him and get him up there, but I couldn’t get it done as hard as I tried,” Ell said. “It took me an hour-and-a-half to get to him and switch trucks. Then I sat with the broken-down truck and waited for a tow truck and sent him on his way.” Despite Ell’s best efforts, Cajon Lightning arrived at Yonkers 25 minutes late, resulting in a transportation scratch. Although he missed a coveted opportunity to race from the rail on the half-mile track, Cajon Lightning will get another chance to compete at the Hilltop Oval this week when he starts as the 5/2 morning line favorite in the $40,000 Open Handicap Pace Saturday January 27. Cajon Lightning established himself as a force in the winter series at Woodbine in 2015 and 2016 when he swept the Autumn Series and finished second in the Valedictory Final, the Ontario Boys Final, and the WEGZ Final for Richard Moreau. Cajon Lightning came to Ell’s stable that spring, but found it difficult to adjust to the warmer climate. “He’s just not a real good horse in the summer time, he likes cold weather,” Ell said. “When I brought him down from Canada, it was starting to get hot here. He was ok, but wasn’t what we thought he would be. When it started cooling off at Dover, he got really good as a 4-year-old and a 5-year-old and this year, even better. He’s just a killer this year. He’s got some allergy trouble and stuff that bothers him in the summer, but he’s a much better horse in the winter months.” Now 6 years old, Cajon Lightning is sharper than ever. He’s posted four wins at the Open level at Dover since November 16, including a lifetime best 1:49.4 victory in a dead heat with Sicily December 7. In addition to his speed, Cajon Lightning has also shown versatility in his recent wins, scoring on the lead and from well off the pace. The son of Mach Three is 20-for-80 in his career with $265,570 in earnings. “He’s rounded into a real, real nice racehorse now and you can do anything with him,” Ell said. “He’s a pleasure. There’s not one thing he does bad. Perfect gentlemen, working around him in the barn, he ships good. He’s lazy warming up, he’s not a grabby horse. You put him behind the gate and you can sprint of the gate a quarter in 26 or you can take off the gate with two fingers. He’s just an all-around perfect racehorse. Nice horse to have around.” Although Ell says Cajon Lightning may be better on a big track, he decided to take his chances at Yonkers when the top classes at Dover struggled to fill consistently. He already ships barn standout Soto to Yonkers to race, so adding Cajon Lightning to the trailer was a no-brainer. “He’s a great big horse, better on a big track, but I raced him at Harrington some and he was good there and that’s a tight half-mile too, so I think he’ll be ok at Yonkers. We’re going to hope anyway,” he explained. Although a winter storm altered Cajon Lightning’s training schedule ahead of his first race at Yonkers, Ell thinks he will be ready for his test against rivals Orillia Joe, who rides a two-race win streak into this week’s Open Handicap, but starts from post seven, and Gokudo Hanover, who won three straight at Yonkers before finishing second as the favorite in last week’s pacing feature. “I train on a half-mile farm track and the day I really wanted to train him, I got him out and jogged, but that’s about all I could do,” Ell explained. “I got him trained the following day and I couldn’t go a real big mile, but he trained good and he was very eager, wanted to do it, and felt good. I just couldn’t give him as much as I wanted to. It doesn’t take him a lot. I think he’ll be ok.” If Cajon Lightning handles the competition and takes to the racetrack, he could prove to be peaking at the right time as the George Morton Levy Series is quickly approaching. “I’m curious to see how he’s going to fair up there. We’re going to put Soto back in the Levy if he gets a little sharper. He’s not at the top of his game right now. I’d like to see how this horse gets around the half. He’s sharper than Soto right now, but we’ve got to see how he handles the half. He’s an all-around nice horse and I can’t wait to get him up there and see what happens.” First post time Saturday is 6:50 p.m. Click here to view entries for the card.

JL Cruze upsets in Spirit Of Massachusetts Trot
Plainville, MA---After watching an epic front-end battle between Crazy Wow and Resolve, driver Andrew McCarthy found room up the pylons late for 60-1 JL Cruze, who was in fourth place most of the mile, and pulled a major upset by winning the inaugural running of the $250,000 Spirit Of Massachusetts Trot that was held at Plainridge Park on Friday (July 28). Crazy Wow (Matt Kakaley) and Resolve (Ake Svanstedt) both wanted the lead but Crazy Wow got it, seating Resolve before they hit the quarter in :26.1. At that station Hannelore Hanover (Yannick Gingras) pulled momentarily from third but that prompted Resolve to pop the deuce and the mare went back to the pylons. Resolve pulled alongside Crazy Wow for a few strides but Kakaley asked for more and put Resolve back in the hole once again. Just before the five-eighths, Resolve came for the third time and Hannelore Hanover followed. That opened the rail for JL Cruze to move up the inside and right onto the back of front-running Crazy Wow as they hit three-quarters in 1:22 flat. Around the last turn, Crazy Wow and Resolve continued to slug it out side by side but at the top of the lane they both drifted a bit and opened a lane for the fresh-legged JL Cruze to get underway. As they drove for the wire, JL Cruze invoked his will and trotted away from group to win the race in 1:51.2 which set a new all-time track trotting record. Hannelore Hanover got up for second and Crazy Wow hung on to be third. "It really worked out, that was a lot of pressure up there; they were really rocking along. I had my chance just getting through the first turn which was my biggest concern, then after that I had to get lucky to get out" said winning driver Andrew McCarthy. "Going into the last turn, I knew I had enough trot to get there, it was just a matter of getting up the inside. So when they were dueling up front, I could kind of cut my own mile back there and just figure it out from there." McCarthy was asked about filling the seat of Hall of Famer John Campbell, who was JL Cruze's regular driver before his retirement in June and he said that Campbell actually had a part of the day's success. "JL Cruze has been a great horse for three years now and to just sit behind a horse like that is a great privilege. It worked out before the race that I ran into John (Campbell) and asked him what he thought I should do with this horse on the gate and he gave me a couple pointers and it really worked out." It was only the second win of the year for JL Cruze but one that a record live crowd will never forget. Let go at 60-1 by the betting faithful, JL Cruze returned $123.60 to win and a $732.60 trifecta and $4,588.80 superfecta with the three post-time favorites in order behind him. The winner's share of the purse made JL Cruze a millionaire as it pushed his lifetime earnings to $1.08 million for owners William Wood, William Dittmar Jr. and Stephen Iaquinta. Eric Ell is the winning trainer. The track record that JL Cruze broke was set just one race before by Gural Hanover in the $25,000 Old North Church Open Handicap Trot. Gural Hanover (Matt Kakaley) left sharply from post eight and opened up a two-length advantage. He maintained the gapped lead the entire race including easy first-half fractions of :27.1 and :56.1. And that is where the race was won. As they started up the backside, Kakaley tapped the gas pedal and got to three-quarters in 1:24 flat and then with the field strung-out behind him, Gural Hanover trotted home in total command tripping the timer in 1:52.1 under Kakaley's wraps. The 1:52.1 track record stood for one race. It was the sixth win in 13 starts this year for Gural Hanover ($3.60) who is owned by the Burke Racing Stable LLC, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, Little E LLC and the Panhellenic Stable Corp. and is trained by Ron Burke.

Celebrity Pegasus breaks track record
HARRINGTON, Del. - Ken Wood, Bill Dittmar and Steve Iaquinta's Celebrity Pegasus ($5.00, Art Stafford Jr.) set a new harness racing track record for trotting stallions Wednesday at Harrington Raceway with a 1:54.1 score in the $15,000 Open Trot. Gillie The Kid set fractions of 28.1, 56.3 and 1:25 while Celebrity Pegasus gathered first-over momentum and cleared the field on the final turn and opened up a comfortable lead. Wind Of The North closed ground for second and Five Towns finished third. Trained by Eric Ell, "Pegasus" recorded his 19th career win. Six Gun Hall (1:54.4) held the prior track record.

Soto comes up big
Ken Wood has seen Soto grow up. And now Wood is watching the harness racing 5-year-old pacer tangle with the big boys. Last week, Soto won his first-round division of the George Morton Levy Memorial Pacing Series at Yonkers Raceway. Soto defeated a field that included defending Levy champion Bit Of A Legend N, 2014 Levy winner P H Supercam, open-stakes-winners Wakizashi Hanover and Somewhere In L A, plus world champion Always At My Place. "It was a privilege to be in the same race with those horses," said Wood, who owns Soto with Bill Dittmar Jr. and Stephen Iaquinta. "There are a lot of horses better than him, but it's fun to have him be able to race with them. He's not the best horse in the world, but he's decent when he gets it his way a little bit." Wood and his partners bought Soto for $40,000 at the Standardbred Horse Sale Mixed Sale in 2015. Since the purchase, Soto has won 17 of 50 races and earned $234,045 in purses. For his career, the stallion has won 21 of 75 starts and banked $345,575. Soto won only one of his first six races for his new owners, but eventually worked himself up to the Preferred/Open level of competition at Dover Downs and Yonkers prior to heading to the Levy. "He didn't start off with a boom, but he's gotten a little better all the time," Wood said about Soto, whose family includes Dan Patch Award-winners Sportswriter and Precocious Beauty. "He was a nice purchase for the money we gave for him. "When you're at the sale, you look at all of them. He showed some 26-second last quarters early as a 3-year-old, and if they're doing that well early on, there's speed in there. He had a few little problems, but nothing serious. You know they're supposed to get better as a 4- and 5-year-old. That's what I go by, anyway. "I think somebody else helps me raise my hand once in a while," he added. "We're not geniuses, just lucky." Wood, who also co-owns 2015 Dan Patch Award-winning older male trotter JL Cruze with Dittmar and Iaquinta, uses the profits from his horses to fund his mission to dig wells for safe drinking water in Africa. Since starting his Lifetime Wells project in 2006, his group has put in a total of 1,700 wells in Ghana and Tanzania. "It's going good," Wood said. "We've got one rig drilling every day with the locals. When I go four times a year I drill in Tanzania myself. I spend three months every year over there." It was upon returning from one of his trips that Wood realized Soto had done a lot of growing up following his season as a 3-year-old. "I've never seen a horse grow from (age) 3 to 4, but he's grown six inches taller," Wood said. "He was a little bitty fella. I'd been in Africa for a while and when I came back he grew a lot. He's grown much taller than he was. I've never had that experience before when they grow at that age, but he sure did." Soto returns to the Levy Series this Saturday, where he will compete in the second of four second-round divisions. Soto, trained by Eric Ell and driven by Matt Kakaley, will start from post two. The field also includes Bit Of A Legend N, Rockin Ron, Mach It So, McWicked, Guantanamo Bay, and Blood Brother. The third division features two first-round winners --- Provocativeprincen and Missile J --- while the fourth division includes opening-round winner Long Live Rock. The series has five $50,000 preliminary rounds followed by a $200,000-added final, which is scheduled for April 22. "Post position helps quite a bit at Yonkers, naturally," Wood said, referring to high win percentages for horses with inside starting spots on the half-mile oval. "Luck went our way the first race anyway. We're just hoping he gets checks because we know those other horses are better than he is." If Soto keeps enjoying success, though, Wood might no longer be able to say that. "I hope I have that problem," Wood said, laughing. For Saturday's complete Yonkers card, click here.

A five-year-old by Andover Hall-Celebrity Athena, Celebrity Pegasus had been racing well since her last win in late November three consecutive seconds, a third and a fifth last week, but a change in post positions, from the outside to post 2 did the trick for trainer Eric Ell and owners Ken Wood, Bill Dittmar, Steve Iaquinta and Minisink Farms.

JL Cruze returns to winning ways
WILKES-BARRE PA - JL Cruze, 2015's champion Older Male Trotter in North America, got his 2016 harness racing campaign again headed in the right direction with a 1:53 victory in the $25,000 winners-over feature Sunday night at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono. John Campbell had his usual seat behind the altered five-year-old son of Crazed, and he guided him to the lead past the 27.2 opening quarter, then backed off the half to 57.1. From there, "JL" cruzed home in 55.4, winning by two lengths over the out-at-every-call Crazshana, completing the Crazed-sired Exacta, with Il Sogno Dream another half-length back in third after going first-over. This season JL Cruze opened his campaign with three straight victories, but he had gone "only" 1 for 5 since then before this race - if you count a second to Rose Run Parker, still 2016's fastest North American trotter (1:50.4), and a fourth in the Cutler and a fifth in the Lee, in the "only" category. But perhaps his win at Pocono will mark a turnaround back towards his championship form for the Eric Ell-trained trotter, owned by Wm. Kenneth Wood, William Dittmar Jr., and Stephen Iaquinta, and now the winner of $101,430 this year and $761,483 lifetime. If you like two-year-old trotting stakes fillies, Pocono is the place to be for you the next two nights - eight divisions of Pennsylvania Stallion Series action top the bill on Monday, while the next night will feature five divisions of Pennsylvania Sire Stakes racing.

Dittmar hopes for Maxie Lee win with JL Cruze
When harness racing owner Bill Dittmar Jr. visited the winner's circle with Anders Bluestone following the 2011 Maxie Lee Memorial Invitational, it seemed like the moment of a lifetime. On Sunday afternoon, he returns to the same event at Harrah's Philadelphia with what seems like the horse of a lifetime. Dittmar is among the owners of JL Cruze, who last year won 16 of 21 races, set numerous world records, and received a Dan Patch Award as harness racing's best older male trotter. JL Cruze is part of a star-packed 2016 edition of the $200,000 Maxie Lee Memorial Invitational for older trotters. The field includes 2013 Horse of the Year Bee A Magician and 2014 Trotter of the Year Shake It Cerry. Bee A Magician, unbeaten in three races this year, is the 5-2 morning line favorite. JL Cruze, with four wins in five starts this season, is the 7-2 second choice. "When we won with Anders Bluestone a few years ago that was really a highlight with our horses at that time," Dittmar said. "That was fun. "It would be nice to be competitive again. We've always been a group with (non-stakes) horses. When you get a stakes horse, it's exciting. It really is. We're a small stable and you find the diamond in the rough once in a while and try to have some fun with it." Sunday's Philly card also includes the $200,000 Betsy Ross Invitational for older female pacers and the $200,000 Dorothy Mullin Invitational for older male pacers. Delaware-based Wiggle It Jiggleit, the 2015 Horse of the Year, is the 2-1 morning line favorite in the Mullin Invitational. He has won five of eight races this year, finishing no worse than second in any start, and heads to Sunday's festivities off a track-record performance in winning the Battle of Lake Erie last weekend at Northfield Park. Rockin Ron, who established a Canadian record in defeating Wiggle It Jiggleit in the Confederation Cup earlier this month, and New Zealand-bred Levy Memorial Pacing Series champion Bit Of A Legend are also among the Mullin's eight starters. Multiple-stakes-winner Devil Child is the 5-2 morning line choice in the Betsy Ross, which also includes 2015 Breeders Crown champion Color's A Virgin and this year's Blue Chip Matchmaker Series winner Yagonnakissmeornot. First race post time is 12:40 p.m. Sunday. The Betsy Ross, scheduled for approximately 3:40 p.m., is the first of the three invitationals, which will be raced consecutively. JL Cruze is owned by Dittmar, Stephen Iaquinta and Ken Wood. Some of JL Cruze's $627,456 in earnings last year went to help dig wells in Ghana and Tanzania and bring clean drinking water to 50,000 people as part of a longtime humanitarian effort spearheaded by Wood. A 5-year-old gelding, JL Cruze was purchased by his current owners for $37,000 in November 2014. They hoped he would be a nice fit at Dover Downs, where the group races frequently, but the horse blossomed with trainer Eric Ell last winter and then stormed to three consecutive stakes-level world-record wins during the summer before being sidelined by a virus. JL Cruze returned this season with three consecutive victories in open handicaps, but then finished off the board in the $150,000 Mack Lobell Elitlopp Playoff on May 8 at the Meadowlands. He bounced back with a non-stakes win at Harrah's Philadelphia on May 19 in his first-ever race at the track. "We were disappointed with his performance in the Elitlopp Playoff," Dittmar said. "He just wasn't feeling right. I hate making excuses for horses, but things happen. We all thought he was sitting on a good race going into it. It just wasn't his day. "Coming off his performance there and then racing for the first time at Philly, it was good to see him get around the turns there and come out of it in good shape. It should be fun Sunday." $200,000 Betsy Ross Invitational PP-Horse-Driver-Trainer-Morning Line 1-Yagonnakissmeornot-Daniel Dube-Rene Allard-7-1 2-Sassa Hanover-Matt Kakaley-Ron Burke-10-1 3-Venus Delight-Tim Tetrick-Jeffrey Bamond Jr.-7-2 4-Devil Child-Brian Sears-Chris Oakes-5-2 5-Katie Said-Brett Miller-Jimmy Takter-6-1 6-Waasmula-Trevor Henry-Bruce Goit-20-1 7-Sell A Bit N-Jordan Stratton-Peter Tritton-15-1 8-Color's A Virgin-David Miller-Brian Brown-4-1 $200,000 Maxie Lee Memorial Invitational PP-Horse-Driver-Trainer-Morning Line 1-Obrigado-Mark MacDonald-Paul Kelley-5-1 2-Wind Of The North-George Napolitano Jr.-Daryl Bier-12-1 3-Gural Hanover-Matt Kakaley-Ron Burke-20-1 4-JL Cruze-Corey Callahan-Eric Ell-7-2 5-Il Sogno Dream-Scott Zeron-Chris Beaver-7-1 6-Shake It Cerry-David Miller-Jimmy Takter-5-1 7-Bee A Magician-Brian Sears-R.

Bigger, stronger JL Cruze ready for Elitlopp Playoff
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (April 21, 2016) - Winning 16 of 21 races, trotting the fastest mile in the history of the Meadowlands, and earning a Dan Patch Award as the sport's top aged trotter would seem like the perfect season for any horse. And yet trainer Eric Ell says JL Cruze probably could have been better. "Honestly, I cannot recall a start last year where he did not have gait issues, was not on a line, or was not fighting through some sort of lameness issue," explained the Mid-Atlantic based conditioner who has earned a reputation for his miracle work with troubled trotters. "He has never really been all that smooth, but he is just incredible and as game a racehorse as you will find." According to Ell, JL Cruze has come back a lot better so far in three undefeated starts as a five-year-old. Ell credits a change in the horse's feed that has allowed the son of Crazed - Topcat Hall, by Conway Hall to thrive. "Last year, he was a really picky eater and frequently would go a few days without eating much after his races," said Ell. "We raced him very hard through all of those series that he was winning and he was fighting lameness issues. This year we are really looking forward to being able to manage his season better and giving him really only two races per month." The next main goal for JL Cruze will be the inaugural Elitlopp Playoff on May 8 at the Meadowlands. The $150,000 Free For All Trot is shaping up as a must-see early-season showdown that will award the winner an invitation to The Elitlopp at Solvalla Racecourse in Sweden on May 29. Ell is giving JL Cruze this week off following a stretch of three wins over a 15-day period at the beginning of April. "My plan is to race him at the Meadowlands next week, assuming the race fills," said Ell. "That would then give him nine days to the Playoff, which would be the perfect amount of spacing. And my God, what a great field of horses he will face. There would be no shame in losing to any of those horses."

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - JL Cruze stayed perfect in three seasonal starts Friday night, taking the featured $25,000 open handicap trot at the Meadowlands by 1½ lengths over Shake It Cerry. Opulent Yankee was third. A 5-year-old gelded son of Crazed, JL Cruze used a change in tactic from his first two victories of the season and was hustled to the top by driver John Campbell before hitting the quarter in :27.1. Campbell was allowed to rate the Eric Ell trainee through a half in :56.4 and three-quarters in 1:25.3, leaving plenty of gas in the tank. At the top of the stretch, Rose Run Parker was a non-threatening presence alongside the eventual winner, but did provide live cover for Shake It Cerry, the lifetime earner of $2.4 million who was making her 2016 debut. Shake It Cerry closed well in a solid try for the Jimmy Takter barn. JL Cruse, who is pointing toward the May 8 Mack Lobell Elitlopp Playoff at the Big M, hit the wire in 1:52.2 after trotting a final quarter in :26.4 and paid $3 to win as the 1-2 favorite. Campbell, the all-time leader in wins and earnings at the Big M, scored four times on the card. In addition to JL Cruze in the sixth race, Campbell won with Massive Clout ($6.80 to win) in the first, Kiss Me Onthebeach ($8.60) in the third and longshot I C Caviar ($33.00) in the eighth. All-source wagering on the 12-race card was $2,650,557 while the 12th race Jackpot Super High Five carryover swelled to $179,502.82 for the next racing program after the wager was again not hit. Racing resumes at the Meadowlands Saturday at 7:15 p.m. by Dave Little, Meadowlands Media Relations
JL Cruise, Shake It Cerry meet again at Meadowlands
East Rutherford, NJ - As the beginning of the "Championship Meet" on May 7 draws near more of trotting's elite are embarking on their racing season. The marquee match-up on Friday night at The Meadowlands pits 2015 Trotter of the Year JL Cruze against multiple Dan Patch award winning mare Shake It Cerry in a $25,000 Open Handicap trot. These two finished just a nose apart in a 1:49.4 world and track record in last season's Graduate Final over this same mile oval nine months ago. Shake It Cerry is making her first start of the year off a winning 1:55 qualifier last week. The champion daughter of Donato Hanover is closing in on $2.5 million in career earnings for owner Solveig's Racing Partners and trainer Jimmy Takter. She finished 2015 strong with a convincing win over top mares in the $200,000 TVG FFA Championship final for David Miller, who will drive on Friday. JL Cruze returned in good form following his winter hiatus and has won both of his 2016 outings including a 1:53 score here two weeks ago. It was a Cinderella season in 2015 for owners Ken Wood, Bill Dittmar, Jr and Steve Iaquinta who got way more than they bargained for when trainer Eric Ell brought JL Cruze home from the Harrisburg mixed sale for $30,000. He'll again be driven by John Campbell, who played a large role in the many successes of last year. Both trotters are preparing for the inaugural edition of the Mack Lobell Elitlopp Playoff scheduled for a special Mother's Day matinee card on May 8. The Meadowlands will be giving away tickets to the Monster Jam in Mat Life stadium later this month and you can enter to win a Kentucky Derby trip as well. It was announced yesterday registration is now open for the "Championship Meet Survivor Challenge". Top prize is $2,000 and a seat in the 2017 World Harness Handicapping Challenge.

JL Cruze stays undefeated with 1:53.2 score
DOVER, Del.--- Though stabled a short distance from the track, JL Cruze made his second 2016 start and first local appearance and responded with an easy 1:53.2 victory in the $36,000 Open Preferred trot at Dover Downs Wednesday. The program also featured two $20,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund 2nd leg 3-year-old male trot divisions that led off the program with Triple Bottom Line and Epic Smash scoring impressive victories. Hall of Fame driver John Campbell left with JL Cruze and tucked in fifth after the start. Campbell began his frontward movement heading to the half mile and steady continued to move. The Crazed-Topcat Hall bay gelding finally took over after the three quarters on the way to his second triumph of the year for trainer Eric Ell and owners Ken Wood, of Denton, Md., and Philadelphia area residents, Bill Dittmar and Steve Iaquinta. Emerging from a pack of trotters bidding for second was Spunky Jack with Roger Plante, who has five seconds this year and 15 over the last two seasons. Somebody AS teamed with Tim Tetrick, finished third in front of early leader Gural Hanover, driven by Andrew McCarthy, third. JL Cruze now has 23 career wins and earnings of $690,553 lifetime. In the stronger of two $20,000 divisions, Epic Smash rolled to his second DSBF 2nd leg trot victory holding off a determined bid from Cicada's Song in a 1:56.4 mile. Pat Berry, who won consecutive races, took Epic Smash right to the front as he did last week and was never headed in the lifetime best clocking of her career.Cicada's Song was relentless chasing the winner home. JCraparotta&PBerry Racing, own the Political Briefing-Giant Smash filly who now has five lifetime wins and purses of $115,208.Chestnut Chic (George Dennis) came on to finish third. The outside post didn't deter Triple Bottom Line and Jeff Fout in the other $20,000 DSBF section. The CR Commando-Current Yield bay stormed away to get the early lead and cut out all the 2:00.1 winning fractions. Miss Baltimore (Tony Morgan) who stalked the winner from the start but had to hold on for second. Devlin (Carlo Poliseno) was the third-place money winner. Winbak Farm bred and owns Triple Bottom Line who won for the first time this year and third time in her 10 race career. She has banked $88,200 in purses. Colt pacers battle Thursday in DSBF divisions Three $20,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund 3-Year-Old Male Paces complete the two-weeks of preliminaries, Thursday, April 7 at Dover Downs.

John’s Dream, winner of last November’s DSBF $100,000 Two-Year-Old Final, and a 1:53.2 winner last week, drew the rail and will again be driven by Tim Tetrick from the rail in the second $20,000 prelim. Chuck Perry is owner-trainer of the ridgling that completed his two-year-old season with five consecutive wins. Pam Wagner’s Canthelpbutwin and Allan Davis starts alongside. Cut The Beach, owned by Rubin, Johnson Thomson and Henry Faragalli III, has two win under his belt but must start from the outside in the six-horse field. Mike and Linda English’s Double Miles (Jim Morand) was a third place finisher. In another $20,000 DSBF Male Pace, Trainer-driver John MacKinnon’s JW Renegade spent much of last start on the outside. Garnet O’Marrow’s homebred Seboomook Dreamer and Allan Davis completes the lineup. The opening $20,000 DSBF division Dorothy and Chris Conner’s Hail To The Master, driven by Art Stafford Jr., won five-times last season and began this year with a 1:52.4 wire-to-wire win.

Henry Faragalli III, Bay Pond and Nanticoke Racing’s Next Success (Jim Morand) has been racing well. Paul and Lorie Davis and Pres Moore’s Gimme The Pacifics (Callahan) should be a factor front the rail while Willard Hall and Brian Wright’s Sizz Matty (Teague) must overcome the outside. The other starters are Shawn Hanley’s homebred Richie The Flanka with Ross Wolfenden and Serendipity Stable’s Door Prize (Sean Bier). by Marv Bachrad, for Dover Downs
JL Cruze to make seasonal bow

Hint: one active player stands a good chance of joining this group
Looks like this one is a stumper. The solution is that only these players hit 300 home runs over their first 5000 PA, something that Giancarlo Stanton could accomplish next season. Here are our group’s career totals through the game in which each reached 5000 PA.

200 HR before 1000th game
ThickieDon October 31, 2017 at 10:00 am
Trout just joined the club on September 30, 2017, I believe.
Never mind, I don’t think that’s it.
Several other active players accomplished the feat.
It’s gotta be something else.
Doug October 31, 2017 at 3:54 pm
But on the right track.
ThickieDon November 1, 2017 at 1:48 pm
Something w/ HR in relation to total bases.
Doug November 1, 2017 at 2:01 pm
You were closer with your first guess.
Almost ready to give up but not quite.
Richard Chester November 1, 2017 at 2:29 pm
Ryan Howard has played in 1572 games so it may be an accomplishment in 1500 or fewer games. I ran the PI for several numbers of games played in multiples of 100. There are players other than the ones on the list
ThickieDon November 2, 2017 at 12:10 pm
I know Howard was fastest ever to 100 HR, going by games and at bats (not by age, that’s pretty much always going to be A-Rod).
Kiner was 2nd fastest. I think McGwire was 3rd, but I could be mistaken.
Or Mel Ott. Ott was fastest to 100 by age.
A-Rod was fastest to all the other milestones, I believe.
I guess the thing that’s throwing me off here is:
Where’s Pujols?
Pujols ended up 3 HR short of making this group.
ThickieDon November 3, 2017 at 9:11 am
100 HR before 1500 AB.
Doug November 3, 2017 at 11:58 am
Not quite right (Eddie Mathews, for one, did this), but you’ve hit on the type of the thing I’m looking for.
300 RBI
Doug Post author November 3, 2017 at 12:35 pm
RBI do not figure in the quiz.
I thought it was 100 HR before 1750 plate appearances, but Matthews still throws that off.
I’m giving up.
ThickieDon November 14, 2017 at 1:30 pm
Aaron Judge is the active player, I’ll guess. On pace for 100 homers before 1,300 at-bats.
Doug Post author November 16, 2017 at 3:36 pm
The solution is that these are the only players with 300 home runs over their first 5000 PA. Giancarlo Stanton should join them next year.
ThickieDon November 17, 2017 at 8:47 am
Wow. I should have gone there but didn’t – I assumed it had to be a lesser PA total rather than greater due to the absence of Schmidt, Griffey, Pujols, etc.

It’s the same mechanism that engages when Walt finally admits to poisoning Brock: “I did do it, I just did it for very good reasons.” Isn’t that’s how Walt has always resolved his cognitive dissonance? By telling himself that he had very good reasons for doing everything he’s done.

VOLUME 3, NUMBER 18, MARCH 25, 2012
On Monday, March 19, I anointed my brother, Christopher Lee Rhodes, and prayed over his body. The next day, at the end of a funeral in his church's tradition, I commended him to God using the Commendation in The Book of Common Prayer (p. 499), sprinkled his casket with Holy Water and then rode in procession to the chapel in a nearby cemetery/crematorium where I committed his body to the elements (BCP, p. 501-2).
Some in my family and in my circle of friends wondered how I could find the strength to offer those rites for my own brother. But not only was it not a matter of finding the strength to do it, it was important for my own spiritual well-being to be able to offer those ministrations for my brother and for those who love him. It was important for my own spiritual well-being to be able to offer the rites of Mother Church—to do what the Church does—at such a time.
In doing so, things which I had known to be true on an abstract level, or even in my experience as a priest of almost nine years, had come home to me—become real for me—on a very personal level.
A long-time friend of mine meant well on the day of the visitation when she tried to explain to me how death wasn't so much an enemy, but simply a movement from one kind of life to another. I don't remember the exact word she used—it may have been something like death was a translation or a transmigration to another life—but what I was clear about then and am still clear about a week after my brother's death, is that Death doesn't feel like just some sort of painful, but basically benign 'movement.' I am more clear than ever about what the New Testament seems to say on every page—that Death is the Enemy of God. In fact, the center of the Christian faith and the point of the life of the Church (maybe their distinctive feature) is Christ's struggle and ultimate victory over that great enemy called Death.
Death came to claim my brother's life. And in the wake of his death, Death continued its attempt to hurt my family, trying to cause disruption in our lives and our relationships to one another.
But next Sunday is Palm Sunday—and on that day, the Church enters into the week of her most ancient rites, rites that make present again today God's victory over Death in Jesus Christ. The Church's great claim every day, but especially during this week, is that we no longer have to wonder whether Death is the end—the ultimate power in the universe. New, abundant and everlasting Life that is stronger than Death is not a vague wish for Christians.
The whole of the Christian faith rests on the truth that Jesus, more than just lingering on in a spiritual way after his crucifixion, was raised to new Life in his body and in this way, the reign and power of Death itself in all of its forms—bodily death, yes, but also death in its lesser forms, like despair, depression, addiction, oppression, injustice—was broken once and for all.
I am grateful for the many and varied graces poured out by God on my family and me in this past week, not least of which were the prayers for Chris and for our family, and the spiritual, emotional and practical support offered by friends and family (and even some strangers) including those at Grace Church. I can't thank you enough.
I am also grateful to be claimed by a truth and a tradition that doesn't shy away from death because it has nothing to fear from Death—the truth that, as frightening and overwhelming as death can be (and it really is both), we know that Christ is risen... the Lord is risen indeed. And so we, who have been baptized into Christ's death, have been raised also in his resurrection. Christ lives in my brother. My brother lives in Christ. Thanks be to God.
EASTER FLOWER MEMORIALS... Envelopes are in the narthex for the donation of Easter Flowers. Checks may be made out the Grace Church altar Guild. The deadline for submitting names is Sunday, April 1st.
HOLY WEEK REHEARSAL NEXT SATURDAY... A rehearsal will be held Saturday, March 31 at 9:00 a.m. for those who are offering liturgical ministry during Holy Week. Please be there if you have been assigned. Liturgical notes and pencils for particular notes will be provided.
DONATING TO FOOD FOR FRIENDS AS A LENTEN DISCIPLINE... St. Paul's Community Development Corporation Food Pantry in Paterson, especially needs high protein items, such as beans and canned meats, tuna, cereal, peanut butter, rice, coffee, and pasta. Alternatively checks may be drawn in favor of St. Paul's CDC and marked Food Pantry. Please send checks directly to St. Paul's at 451 Van Houten Street, Paterson, NJ 07501.
YARD CLEAN-UP... Did you see our flowers pushing up? It is officially spring and we are calling out ALL HANDS for Saturday, March 31st for yard clean-up before Holy week. Do you have an extra rake, clippers or weeding tool, please bring it along? We will begin at 9:00 a.m. Please let Chris Scott know you will be available.
INTERFAITH EVENT IN HOLY WEEK... Throughout most of the world, the holiday we in the United States call Easter is referred to as Pascha, derived from the word "Passover," an homage to the Jewish roots and history of the Easter story. The alignment of Passover and Easter in the calendar cycle, in history, and, to some extent, in their messages presents a unique opportunity for interfaith dialogue and learning. All are invited to attend a joint class including members and guests of Congregation B'nai Israel in Emerson and Grace Episcopal Church in Westwood. The spiritual leaders of those communities, Rabbi Debra Orenstein and Father Rob Rhodes, will offer insights and lead a participatory discussion on Tuesday, April 3 at 7:30 p.m.

Molecular and cellular plasticity in cardiovascular diseases
Principal investigator :
Elise Balse, Ph.D. & Sophie Nadaud, Ph.D.
Cardiovascular diseases are often intricate diseases that share pathophysiological mechanisms. Remodeling processes are associated with complex rearrangement at the tissue and at the cellular levels. Team 3 aims at identifying the drivers of the molecular and cellular plasticity that characterize cardiovascular remodeling during heart rhythm abnormality (atrial fibrillation), heart failure, senescence and pulmonary hypertension (PH).
We study the role of cardiovascular cells (cardiomyocytes, stem cells, inflammatory cells, endothelial cells), of molecular players (ion channels, cytoarchitectural proteins, sarcolemma), of cellular homeostasis (oxidative stress, energy metabolism). We have tight links with the functional exploration platform Coeur-Muscle-Vaisseaux led by Nathalie Mougenot for cardiovascular phenotyping.
This team is attached to the doctoral school 394 “Physiologie, Physiopathologie et Thérapeutique”.
Principal investigator groups:
Elise Balse’s group has contributed to understanding the dynamics of surface expression of cardiac ion channels and the molecular determinants of their targeting in specialized domains of cardiac myocytes. The group will continue investigating these processes in relation with the microarchitecture of cardiac myocytes in normal and diseased myocardium. The work combines cardiomyocyte isolation and culture, molecular biology, viral vectors, electrophysiology techniques (patch-clamp, microelectrode), biochemistry, immuno-histo/cytochemistry, and cellular and molecular imaging approaches (3D-deconvolution, TIRF, light sheet).
Sophie Besse and Bruno Riou’s group has identified different mechanisms contributing to the altered cardiac response to β-adrenergic stimulation during senescence and/or diabetes. This group is now investigating the regulatory pathways induced by age-associated oxidative stress and inflammation, and implicated in the transition to heart failure. The project includes hemodynamic studies, contractility measurements in isolated perfused heart and atrial trabeculae, and biochemistry and immuno-histo/cytochemistry techniques, in aged rat and human models.
Stephane Hatem’s group has uncovered the contribution of epicardial stem cells to atrial fibroadipogenic remodeling leading to atrial fibrillation. The group aims now at identifying the signaling switches that regulate the differentiation of human epicardial stem cells and the remodeling of the atrial subepicardium. The group has also started to analyze the role of cardiac metabolism in regulating atrial fibroadipogenic remodeling and electrical properties. In addition to biochemistry, immuno-histo/cytochemistry techniques, the group is using metabolomics and lipidomic approaches, human and murine epicardic progenitor cells culture, flow cytometry and electrophysiology.
Sophie Nadaud’s group has described new vascular progenitors which contribute to the remodeling of pulmonary vessels during pulmonary hypertension. The group is now studying the regulatory signals that lead to the recruitment of these progenitors and the formation of new vascular smooth muscle cells. The work combines transgenic mouse models, lineage tracing mouse models, hemodynamix studies, flow cytometry, murine vascular progenitor cell culture, molecular biology and biochemistry, immunofluorescence and histology techniques.
Catherine Pavoine’s group has established that a macrophage population plays a protective role against heart failure development during early adaptive cardiac hypertrophy. The group is now seeking to identify the origin and role of macrophages recruited and to determine the signals secreted by these macrophages during early adaptive cardiac hypertrophy which could limit adverse remodeling to heart failure. The project involves mouse models, cardiomyocyte calcium imaging, flow cytometry, RNAseq and biochemistry, immuno-histo/cytofluorescence techniques. Echocardiographic parameters of the animals are analyzed with the Coeur-Muscle-Vaisseaux platform (Dir. Nathalie Mougenot).
Florent Soubrier’s group has identified the gene, EIF2AK4, for hereditary Pulmonary Veno-Occlusive Disease and is now investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the occurrence of the heritable form of Pulmonary Veno-Occlusive Disease due to mutation of this gene. The project involves an EIF2AK4 KO rat model, hemodynamic studies, flow cytometry, endothelial cell isolation and culture, and omics. This group seeks to identify new predisposing genes to PH by genome wide sequencing, such as the BMP10 gene recently identified by this group.
We study the role of cardiovascular cells (cardiomyocytes, stem cells, inflammatory cells, endothelial cells), of molecular players (ion channels, cytoarchitectural proteins, sarcolemma), of cellular homeostasis (oxidative stress, energy metabolism).

Wyclef Jean with New Embezzlement Accusations
DariusFreeman Hip Hop News Wyclef Jean, Yele Haiti
According to the New York Post, Wyclef Jean’s charity has some explaining to do.
Yele Haiti, created to benefit the aftermath of the devastating 2010 earthquake that rocked the small island of Haiti, generated $16 million dollars in 2010. Based on the 2010 charity tax information, $5.1 million of that money was sent to Haiti for emergency relief. The post reports that $1 million dollars was paid to a non-existent Florida firm and $353,983 was given to P&A Construction, which is owned by Jean’s brother-in-law.
This isn’t the first time that Wyclef has defended his charities. In 2008, a tax form was never filed and in 2009, $250,000 was lost.

Background: Women's oral health is affected by certain conditions such as pregnancy, puberty, menstrual cycle, menopause and nonphysiological conditions such as hormonal contraception and hormonal therapy. This study was conducted to assess the oral health status and treatment needs of pregnant women and to correlate periodontal health with adverse pregnancy outcomes like preterm birth (PTB) and low birth weight (LBW). Materials and Methods: A prospective study was undertaken at a Government Hospital in Haryana. Pregnant women who were in their third trimester of pregnancy and visited the hospital for routine ante-natal check-up constituted the final sample size (223). Dental caries and periodontal status were assessed using a WHO Proforma-1997. None of the subjects were in the habit of taking alcohol, chewing and smoking tobacco. The main outcome measures were gestational age and weight of the newborn. Data were analyzed using SPSS package version 13. Results: Decayed, missing and filled teeth index of the subjects was 2.87. Extraction was indicated in younger subjects when compared to the older ones. Bleeding was the main finding, which was present in 47.5% of the study subjects, followed by calculus. 63 more than 60% of subjects of subjects with 4-5 mm attachment loss belonged to 20-24 years age-group. There was a statistically significant association of probing depths and attachment loss with adverse pregnancy outcomes (P < 0.05) (PTB and LBW). Conclusion: There is a significant association between maternal periodontitis and pregnancy outcomes in the present study. It is recommended that suitable measures be undertaken by various health organizations to prevent periodontal problems among this particular group.

Oral health is an integral part of general health. Physiological conditions such as pregnancy, puberty, menstrual cycle, menopause and nonphysiological conditions such as hormonal contraception and hormonal therapy all influence women's oral health. [1] Pregnant women have special oral health needs due to hormonal fluctuations, which have a strong influence on the oral cavity. W.H.O World Health Day Theme of 1998, "Safe motherhood pregnancy is precious-let's make It special" draws our special attention towards this priority group, which needs special care. [2]
The influence of hormone on oral health was not known until the 19 th Century. The prevalence of gingivitis in pregnant women was first reported and described in 1974. [3] Before the turn of the 20 th century a fairly precise description of the gingival change during pregnancy was available. This description suggests that gingival condition in pregnant women should be considered as separate problem from that of simple gingivitis. In addition to generalized gingival changes pregnancy may also increase the prevalence of gingivitis and may cause tumor-like growth called "pregnancy tumor" or "Epulis gravidatum," which may occur inter-proximally and usually regress itself after delivery. [4]
The severity of gingival disease is reduced after childbirth, but the gingiva does not necessarily come back to normal. There may be a residual effect, which may continue and ultimately lead to a severe condition and loss of tooth. The periodontal changes such as pocket formation, increased tooth mobility and loss of attachment may lead to deterioration of oral health and loss of teeth. [5] "Lose a tooth for every pregnancy" is a popular notion that suggests that pregnancy causes tooth loss. However there is no medical literature to support this statement.
Preterm birth (PTB) and low birth weight (LBW) are the leading prenatal problems worldwide and have evident public health implications because they are closely related to perinatal mortality and to nearly one-half of all serious long-term neurological morbidity. [6] Various maternal factors have been associated with the delivery of PTB and LBW infants, which include age, height, weight, socioeconomic status, smoking, alcohol consumption, nutritional status and stress. In addition previous complications, maternal hypertension, infection, and cervical incompetence may also be important. [7],[8] Periodontal infection can increase the level of inflammatory mediators, which shortens gestation age leading to LBW infants, PTBs, miscarriage and stillbirth. Hence, maternal periodontal infection is emerging as an independent risk factor for preterm delivery and LBW. [9] In contrast, several other studies question such an association and attribute it to a mere chance; the substantial proof is yet to arise. [10],[11]
Haryana is a state with a population density of 477 persons/km 2 with per capita income of Rupees 67,891. The literacy rate of Haryana state is 69.97%, infant mortality rate is 59% and the birth rate is 24.3% and growth rate is 28.43%. [12] Studies regarding oral health status (specially periodontal status) and treatment needs of pregnant women and their pregnancy outcomes are almost nonexistent in India. Hence, the current prospective study has been undertaken to report oral health status and treatment needs of pregnant women and to correlate periodontal health status with adverse pregnancy outcomes (PTB and LBW).
Study population and sample size
This study was conducted after obtaining ethical clearance from the Institutional Review Board and with prior permission from the Director, Medical Health, Haryana. Written informed consent was obtained from each subject before commencing the study. The present study was conducted in Government Hospital, Sector-6, Panchkula, Haryana. The duration of the study was 12 months. The required sample size was determined using the formula for estimating sample size for single population proportion with 95% confidence level and 0.05 degree of accuracy required. With these assumptions, a sample size of 223 was obtained. Pregnant women who visited the hospital during their third trimester of pregnancy were included in the study on the basis of convenient sampling to reach the desired sample. Subjects were included for a period of 9 months so that subjects who were in their last trimester during the 9 th month of the study could deliver within in the study period. Subjects in the first and second trimester of the pregnancy were excluded from the study.
Examiner calibration and examination
A single trained examiner (PST) who was calibrated in the department conducted all the examinations. Intra examiner calibration was undertaken by examining 40 subjects followed by their re-examination a week later which resulted in 84% of diagnostic acceptability with a kappa value of 0.82.
The pregnant women were interviewed, and a Type III clinical examination was conducted. The "WHO Oral Health Proforma-1997" was used to record the clinical findings such as dental caries and periodontal status. [13] The information regarding alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, history of previous delivery and postpartum obstetric history (pregnancy outcomes, birth weight and gender of child) were recorded on another structured format by another investigator. For the diagnosis of dental caries, examination was done using mouth mirrors and sharp probes. Clinical parameters recorded while performing periodontal assessment using community periodontal index probe were-clinical pocket probing depth (in mm), clinical loss of attachment from the base of periodontal pocket to the cement-enamel junction (in mm), bleeding on probing (presence or absence) and calculus (presence or absence). The dental examination was conducted using additional artificial light. A table to place the instruments was placed within easy reach of the examiner. The recording assistant was allowed to sit close to the examiner.
Pregnancy outcome data collection
Gestational age and birth weight of child were chosen as the two main pregnancy outcome characteristics. Estimation of gestational age was calculated on the basis of last menstrual period, ultrasound examinations and other physical parameters. In addition, adverse pregnancy outcome was categorized into outcome categories. Spontaneous birth at less than 37 weeks gestation was considered as PTB and LBW were defined as birth weight less than 2500 g. Both these categories were evaluated for their association with pocket depths and clinical attachment loss of the mothers.
The data were analyzed using SPSS package version 13.0. (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Z-test was used to determine differences at the 5% significance level (P < 0.05), whereas proportions were compared by the use of Chi-square test. Linear Regression Analysis was also performed to compare the birth data with periodontal variables. P < 0.05 was selected to denote statistical significance.
Among 223 subjects, majority 53.8% (120) were in the age group of 20-24 years followed by 33.2% (74) in the age group 25-29 years. 82.1% (183) of the subjects were unemployed and resided at homes only. Among a total of 223 subjects, only 44.8% (100) of the subjects were having their first pregnancy, and 39.9% (89) were having their second pregnancy. Deleterious habits like alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking and chewing were absent in the study subjects.
History of previous delivery
Ninety-two percent of the subjects delivered normally and most of the study subjects in all the age groups also had normal previous deliveries of their children. About 5% (6) of the pregnant women in the age-group of 20-24 years had their first child born through caesarean section as compared to 4.1% (3) of subjects in the age-group of 25-29 years who underwent caesarean section. Only 1.7% (4) of the study subjects gave a history of preterm and LBW associated with their previous children. Previous history of miscarriage was reported by 2.2% (2) of the study subjects.
[Figure 1] depicts the decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) according to the age of the study population. Mean DMFT of the study population was 2.87. DMFT of the study subjects increased with increasing age. Mean number of decayed and missing teeth due to caries were 2.73 ± 1.03 and 0.628 ± 1.75, respectively and their relation with age was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.01, ANOVA). Maximum number of subjects having caries (34.16%) belonged to 25-29 years age-group. Mean number of subjects requiring one surface filling, pulp care and extraction were 1.48 ± 2.85, 0.07 ± 0.51 and 0.04 ± 0.28 respectively. Proportionally more younger subjects needed extraction as compared to older ones and treatment needs of the subjects were nonsignificant in relation to the age (P = 0.07).

Periodontal status
[Figure 2] illustrates the periodontal health status of the study sample. Shallow pockets were present in 4.5% of the subjects. Bleeding was the main finding, which was present in the majority (47.5%) of the study subjects, followed by calculus present in 24.2% of the study subjects. About 63.6% of the subjects with an attachment loss of 4-5 mm and 66.7% of subjects with an attachment loss of 9-11 mm belonged to 20-24 years age-group [Table 1]. Loss of attachment was nonsignificant in relation to the age of study subjects (P > 0.05).

Pregnancy outcomes and periodontal health
There were statistically significant differences in the periodontal variables with the normal birth and LBW group (P < 0.05). Normal-term group demonstrated a statistically significant difference in periodontal parameters when compared with the preterm group (P < 0.05). However, there was a higher percentage of subjects with bleeding and with a pocket depth of 4-5 mm in the normal-term group as compared to the preterm group [Table 2].
Table 2: CPI index of subjects according to birth weight and gestational age of their children
Loss of attachment was more significant in the case of LBW group as compared to normal-weight group (P < 0.05). Normal-term group also experienced significant losses in the attachment level when compared with the preterm group (P < 0.05). There were a comparatively higher percentage of subjects with attachment loss of 4-5 mm who experienced a LBW [Table 3].
Table 3: Attachment loss of subjects according to birth weight and gestational age of their children
[Table 4] summarizes the results of linear regression analysis. The final model demonstrated that PTB and LBW were associated with mean probing depths, mean loss of attachment, bleeding on probing and calculus. The adjusted R2 value was 0.032.
Table 4: Linear regression analysis with P to compare birth data with periodontal variables with adjusted R2 value
The present study assessed the oral health status and pregnancy outcomes of 223 pregnant women in their third trimester who visited Government Hospital, Panchkula.
Eighty-seven percent of the subjects belong to 20-29 years of age. In the study, 82.1% of women were found to be unemployed, which is similar to study conducted in Hyderabad. [14] This can be attributed to the fact that in a country like India, women still are thought to be the caretaker and responsible for children, whereas men are considered to be the bread earner of the family. Low sociodemographic characteristics can have a detrimental effect on the periodontal health of the individuals. [15]
Fifteen percent of the pregnant women were in 3 rd and 4 th gravida. This reflects on the failure of the family welfare programs, and the other reason could be infant and child mortality. [16] Health care programs should concentrate more on educating young people, providing financial support, creating awareness and counseling households with married adolescent women. Almost 66% of the study subjects had normal previous deliveries. This can be explained on the basis of a recent survey in Haryana; more than 80% of the pregnant women were regularly visiting health center for their ante-natal check which significantly reduces chances of any complication and consequently cesarean section. [17]
About 8.1% of study subjects delivered preterm. The possible reason behind this may be because of the fact that 44.8% of subjects were in their 1 st gravidity and all the subjects who were free of alcohol, smoking tobacco and chewing tobacco habits, which are major risk factors for pregnancy failure. Similar findings were reported in another study. [18]
Dental caries was present in 53.8% of the study subjects. The mean DMFT of the study population was 2.87, which is less as compared to another study conducted among rural pregnant women in India. [19] There was a nonsignificant association between number of teeth needing treatment with age in this study. An Australian study reported similar findings. [20]
The role of periodontal infections in relation to PTB and LBW has always been in debate. Many studies show an association while a lot other do not agree on such associations. [9],[10],[11] The percentage of subjects having calculus and shallow pockets in the present study is less as compared to findings of Vergnes et al. [21] Loss of attachment level greater than 6-8 mm was low in the all the age-groups in the present study population, which is congruence with findings of a study, [22] but less percentage of subjects had an attachment loss of 4-5 mm in the present study as compared to study results of Gursoy et al. [23]
The incidence of LBW in the present study is much higher as compared to the results of a study conducted on Spanish population. [24] This could be due to various social, economic and biological variables, which are the main contributing factors toward LBW in India. [25] However, the periodontal status of pregnant women in the Spanish study did not show any association with adverse pregnancy outcomes; which is not in agreement with the present study.
About 92% of pregnant women had normal term delivery in the present study, which is found to be similar to that reported by Gursoy et al. [23] and Moore et al. [11] There were a significant association of periodontal infection with PTB and LBW in the present study. This finding is similar to another study conducted in Madagascar in which there was a strong association between periodontitis and PTB and LBW (P < 0.01). [26] About 30% of subjects having severe attachment loss delivered preterm as compared to 11% of the health subjects. This association came out to be statistically significant (P < 0.05). Bleeding on probing was significantly greater in women with LBW in the present study and another study conducted on Caucasian pregnant women. [27] Reports of a study conducted in Taiwan revealed that bleeding on probing was significantly more in subjects with periodontitis and there was a significant co-relation between maternal periodontal disease and LBW which is in agreement with the results of present study. [28]
This study had some limitations. Some of the data gathered (smoking, alcohol intake, history regarding previous deliveries) were self-reported from the subjects, which may have biased the results to some extent. Moreover, the present study did partial mouth recording of periodontal variables despite the evidence that the use of partial methods can result in underestimation of the disease. [29] However, it was necessary to reduce the potential discomfort to a minimum to increase the power of the study.
The present study highlights the oral health status and relation of various periodontal variables with adverse pregnancy outcomes. There is a gradual increase in DMFT as the age increases. There is a significant association between maternal periodontal disease in the third trimester and adverse pregnancy outcomes like PTB and LBW. Suitable measures can be implemented by the Government, Professional Organizations, and Dental Institution to screen and identify pregnant women with periodontal problems, and suitable interceptive measures can be taken up.

Inside Indie
Q&A with Adaline
Incredible talent aside, she’s an artist with impeccable business instincts, a sweetness which transforms networking to easeful mingling, and a sound so addictive it converts fans to pushers . It’s no wonder to me that she’s on a cosmic fast track to international indie fame. The rising Vancouver star placed 4th in the first Peak Performance Project last year and has since attained management with 604 Records’ Jonathan Simkin, along with a sweet deal with his new alternative label Oregon Light Records. Last week I sat down with Adaline to talk about what it’s like for her and how she gets it all done.
There’s a huge giant business and admin side of being a musician and someone who has reached your current level of success must need some help, so who is your ‘we’?
It’s mostly me and I have some interns that work for me and I also have a label and they have a few staff members helping me out.
And the interns are from the label then?
Uh no, the interns are actually people that are just awesome, that are supporters of mine and just take on work for me for no money. It’s really crazy. They help organize events and stuff. It’s good because as a solo artist it’s so overwhelming because there’s just so much to do.
So how did you find these interns? How did that come about?
It was weird actually. It was on twitter. I was really overwhelmed one day and I was just tired and I tweeted and was like ‘is anyone interested in getting some experience in the music industry and helping me out?’ and some people actually responded so I like took resumes and narrowed it down to 3 people who had the time and skills I needed in certain areas .
That’s freakin cool.. Is that a new thing? Has anyone else done that?
I’m sure people have, but I think more people should. I always feel bad for asking people to do things but they’re always like ‘you never ask us to do enough!’ So what I realize is that fans really want to be a part of your career and once you allow them to do that, not only is it exciting for them because they’re having a part in watching something happen with an artist, but it’s really great for you because you’re not so exhausted all the time.
So as an artist you have no choice but to go, go, go and it can be exhausting, do you ever lose your motivation? And what’s the biggest trigger for you?
It’s funny I was talking to Said the Whale the other day and ‘IQM’ moments (I Quite Music) came up. And I think that one of the biggest things that triggers the IQM moments is comparison. Comparison is so toxic in music but it’s so hard not to do it. The old saying ‘comparison kills contentment’ is so true. You can have a day where something great happens in your career and then someone else, especially when it’s one of your friends, has something better happen and it’s weird because you want to be happy for the person and you truly are happy for them, but there’s always this human nature part of you that’s like ‘why didn’t that happen to me?’.
So how do you come back from that?
I force myself to not give in to those feelings because they’re just so toxic and wrong. I force myself to be around musicians all the time. When I’m at someone’s show and I start to feel it sneak in I’m like ‘What is that? Oh, that’s that jealousy thing.’ So I stare it right in the face, I go right up to the front and I cheer, and I force myself out of it. And when I do that, it feels goods. It’s like ‘ahhh, life is good’ and I remember that there’s room for all of us.
But you’re right, with the recent changes in the music industry and the rise of the indie scene, competition is pretty fierce now. Do you think it’s easier to be a musician today, or in the past?
It’s easier and harder. It’s easier because anyone can be a musician now. In the past labels would sign bands and that was how it worked and now it’s like you can do it on your own. So that’s good. What makes it hard about it is that there isn’t a lot of money in the industry any more. The record labels are not making money the way that they used to. So it’s good and it’s bad. It’s opened the playing field, way more people are making music but there’s also so much content, so it is hard to have a voice in the crowd but if you’re good and you work hard then at some point you might be able to lift head up above the noise.
It’s really all just about the pie. What’s your favourite?
Hmmmmm.. Lemon Merangue
Sour on the inside and sweet on the outside, is that like you?
Yeah, this is all a façade. I’m really a witch if you get to know me.

REST: Another Way of Looking at Web Services
By David Chappell
REST's Prospects
Using Web services today means using SOAP. SOAP has become the sine qua non of Web technology. Web services are still very new, however, and REST makes a remarkably interesting contribution to the technology.
Understanding .NET: A Tutorial and Analysis
Using Web services today means using SOAP. Although some might argue that it's possible to create Web services without this standard protocol, the truth is that there's no way around it. SOAP has become the sine qua non of this new technology.
But is the approach taken by SOAP the only way to create Web services? It's not, of course. Many paths exist to a destination, and the goal of Web services can be arrived at in diverse ways. SOAP's designers came from an entirely valid perspective—one that was rooted in remote procedure call (RPC) technology. Although SOAP can also be used in an asynchronous style, it evolved from an earlier protocol called XML-RPC, and the initial SOAP specification explicitly defined an RPC-style mapping of SOAP to HTTP. SOAP clearly grows out of this earlier tradition in distributed computing.
More recently, a quite different approach to Web services has appeared. The brainchild of Roy Fielding, it's called Representational State Transfer (REST). Rather than growing out of the RPC world, its roots are solidly embedded in the Web itself.
To understand REST, it's useful to start by summarizing the key aspects of the usual SOAP approach. In the SOAP world, each endpoint has a URI, such as http://www.qwickbank.com, and each endpoint exposes various methods. Any of these can be invoked via an HTTP POST, with the specific SOAP method being called identified within a SOAP envelope that gets embedded in the POST request. Each data object that's accessed is identified using some parameter value, such as a character string. To read the balance of a savings account maintained by QwickBank, for example, a client might invoke a GetBalance method at http://www.qwickbank.com—identifying a particular account by passing its account number as a parameter.
This makes perfect sense, right? If, like me, you come from a traditional RPC-style background, the SOAP approach is the obvious way to expose methods on the Web.
But it's not the only way. What if we instead take a more strictly Web-oriented approach? This is what REST does, and the result—exposing methods using Web technologies—is much the same. The way those methods are exposed, however, is quite different. For instance, rather than assigning each endpoint a URI, the REST approach argues that each data item should have a URI. Instead of a single endpoint for QwickBank, say, why not expose a distinct URI for each account the bank maintains? This is much more like the Web today, in which each item (for example, each page) that a client wishes to access can be directly named.
And rather than hiding arbitrary method names inside a generic HTTP POST request, why not use the HTTP methods that already exist? These methods—such as PUT, GET, POST, and DELETE—can be used to create, read, update, and delete information. These four operations, sometimes referred to with the inelegant acronym CRUD, are the fundamental things we need to do to data. Why not use them directly? Firewalls, for example, could then filter based on HTTP method names rather than performing the complex (and perhaps impossible) task of deciphering each SOAP packet to filter requests on a per-method basis.
Similarly, rather than identifying parameters using character strings and other values opaquely embedded in a SOAP packet, why not use URIs? Identifying everything—everything—with a URI is fundamental to how the Web works. Among other things, a common naming scheme allows easier composition of independently developed software, which is a core goal of Web services. In the REST model, requesting the balance of an account maintained by QwickBank could be as simple as sending an HTTP GET to the account's URI. Rather than building a distinct infrastructure on top of the Web, REST uses what the Web provides to create a simpler and perhaps more effective means to the end of Web services.

Home Features Goodbye, Dueling Dragons: A history of ice and fire
Goodbye, Dueling Dragons: A history of ice and fire
Brian Glenn
Today is the day where fans will say their final goodbyes to Dragon Challenge. Some, however, will be bidding their farewells to the attraction formerly known as Dueling Dragons. While the coasters may have been running since Islands of Adventure opened in 1999, many fans feel the former-dueling coasters ceased to exist once they opened as part of the Wizarding World.
The original planned logos for the Lost Continent, including “Merlin’s Dueling Dragons”.
For years, the corner of the Lost Continent stood the 2 iconic giants dragon statues, and welcomed those who chose to “battle bravely”. Originally located in “Merlinwood”, Dueling Dragons was one of the marquee attractions that Universal marketed leading up to the opening of Islands of Adventure. In a theme park surrounded by intellectual properties (I.P.’s) – like Jurassic Park, Marvel, and Dr. Suess – the Lost Continent was the one original land where Universal Creative’s only restriction was the limits of their imagination.
Expectations were very high; and while the original plan may have never come to fruition, the idea was still the same – dueling, inverted coasters featuring dragons. There is, of course, that popular story of how Dueling Dragons was a concept brought over by former Disney Imagineers who worked on the scrapped Dragon’s Tower, an attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom never-realized Beastly Kingdom. While some aspects of the attractions may be similar, they are not the same ride.
An original concept that ultimately did not make the final ride. The idea featured projections of the 2 dragons battling each other before guests board the coasters.
“Past this point of no return, your only choice is freeze or burn!”
Concept Art for Dueling Dragons
The attraction centered around the eternal battle of 2 elemental dragons – Pyrock, representing fire, and Blizzrock, ice – and the lengths renowned wizard, Merlin, went to warn those who dared to enter the ruins of the castle and ride the dragons.
The coasters were designed by Bolliger & Mabillard of Switzerland, and features a combined track length of 6,226 feet full of twisting, turning, looping, and dropping at high and intense speeds. While the coasters individually were standard; the idea of combining 2 unique, inverted coasters with timed, dueling features in a highly-themed, storytelling environment was an entirely fresh concept. To ensure that the trains met at the 3 dueling near-misses, computers weighed each train upon dispatch – adjusting accordingly on the ascent up the lift hill. The near-misses were so close – 18 inches, to be exact – the coasters had a minimum AND maximum height restriction. The coaster trains were each uniquely themed to represent the characteristics of the dragon, and were created by Kern Studios – the renowned New Orleans fabrication company.
An important process of design is creating a maquette, which serves as a rough draft before finalizing concepts. From Kern Studios.
The majority of the queue takes place inside a ruined castle that has been overtaken by the dragons. At the time, Dueling Dragons had one of best themed queues in Orlando. Due to the high expectations Universal had for the coasters, and anticipating long waits, the queue length was a little over a half-a-mile long. Guests would learn the story of the castle and the battle of the dragons as they traversed the decrepit corridors full of skeletons and fallen knights. As guests entered the castle, they would be introduced to the story by Merlin using an enchanted stained glass window; in one of the most unique displays and presentations of a pre-show of its time.

“You do not listen to this old magician, and so you’ll need a good mortician”
The famous “Choose Thy Fate” sign right before the loading area, allowing guests to choose with coaster they experienced.
One of the most talked-about areas of the queue by fans was the 2 “Dragon Victim” rooms. First, guests would experience those who suffered at the fate of Pyrock, finding the charred, molten remains of knights who were unsuccessful. The next room showed the knights who fell to Blizzrock, frozen in place and covered in vast amounts of ice. Eventually, guests would make their way through the catacombs of more victims before finally reaching their decision to “choose their fate”.
The queue is what set Dueling Dragons apart from any other coaster, and many considered it to be an attraction itself. It was such a novel idea of its time to create a queue so elaborate and extensive for a coaster, which is what made Dueling Dragons unique and beloved by and fans. It wasn’t just another coaster, but an experience. Both tracks were highly-rated among coaster enthusiasts, but the queue established the attraction as something special.
The entrance to Dragon Challenge didn’t have the same impact as Dueling Dragons.
When the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was announced and plans were revealed for a re-theme of Dueling Dragons, fans were worried what made the attraction special would be lost. Islands of Adventure was changing up one of its headlining attractions that wasn’t reliant on a franchise, and featured – what many considered – one of the best entrances of any attraction.
When the re-theme was complete and the Wizarding World opened in 2010, the coaster was the same, but the experience was lost. Gone were many of the elements that made the queue so revered. There was a realization for many fans that the ride was on borrowed time. By 2011, the ride lost the dueling aspect, its key element, when Universal Orlando had to stop it due to precautionary safety concerns. For fans, the loss of what made the coaster ride itself unique cemented that its closure was an inevitability in their minds.

“If you continue along this path, you will face the dragons wrath”
While its no surprise Universal Orlando announced a new Harry Potter coaster replacement this year, fans were still dismayed with the announcement. Dragon Challenge/Dueling Dragons will be the first major attraction to close at Islands of Adventure that was a part of its opening day line-up. We do not know what the future holds for the future Potter coaster, but we do know that the closure will offer up a lot of land for Universal to create something grand. Universal’s Potter expansion is understandable, but there will undoubtedly never be another coaster experience quite like Dueling Dragons.
Battle Bravely, fans.

NGO Jobs and Vacancies - Health Poverty Action
Health Poverty Action (HPA)
Job title: Country Operations Manager – Somaliland
Reporting to: Country Director, Somaliland
Responsible for: SHINE Programmes (Mott MacDonald, UNICEF, CHANGE/PSI) and SAHAN Project
Base: Health Poverty Action (HPA) Country Office, Hargeisa, Somaliland
Job purpose: Provide overall technical and management leadership, guidance and oversight of the program operations, finance, logistics, grants and contract’s portfolio to ensure compliance with donor / fund managers’ as well as HPA’s own standards and requirements.
Background: Health Poverty Action works for health and global justice in partnership with people who have been marginalized and pushed into poverty.
We work with communities to help them demand their right to health, and to challenge the power imbalances that deny them their health rights. Our distinct approach can be summarized as a combination of three areas:
We approach health as an issue of social justice
Health is a Human Right that many are currently denied. The greatest causes of poor health worldwide are political, social and economic injustices. This is a global scandal which causes unnecessary suffering on a massive scale.
We tackle these complex root causes of social injustice in two ways. Firstly, we work in partnership with communities to help them take back the power to improve their own health. Secondly, we campaign on a national and international level to change policy, and destroy unjust power relations.
We prioritise those missed out by others
We believe in health for all, without exclusion. Development organisations tend to cluster together, which leaves large populations with almost no support at all. People may be living in hard to reach areas, or are difficult to support for some other reason. We make these most neglected populations our highest priority.
We address the full range of factors which impact on health
Health is a combination of physical, mental and social wellbeing. As well as strengthening health services we work on areas such as nutrition, water, sanitation, gender discrimination, and income generation. Tackling one cause of poor health in isolation can give the appearance of improving health in the short term, but tackling numerous factors together saves lives.
We are acutely aware of how our own power dynamics as an organisation impact on the people we work with, and we work in partnership with communities to create long term relationships built on trust.
In 2017 we formed a strategic partnership with Find Your Feet. The partnership ensures Find Your Feet’s livelihoods work will continue through Health Poverty Action.
We are also proud to be one of the small number of organisation recognised as being structurally part of the global People’s Health Movement. This quote from the founding document of this movement, the People’s Health Charter, sums up the essence of Health Poverty Action’s values and identity:
“Health is a social, economic and political issues and above all a fundamental human right. Inequality, poverty, exploitation, violence and injustice are at the root of ill-health and the deaths of poor and marginalized people. Health for all means that powerful vested interests have to be challenged, and that political and economic priorities have to be drastically changed. This Charter encourages people to develop their own solutions, and to hold accountable local authorities, national governments, international organizations and corporations.”
Context of the Role: HPA been working in Somaliland since 1994 and has broadcast a radio programme from Hargeisa since 1999 using various international and local radio stations. HPA has, over the years, successfully implemented a number of projects supported by the European Commission (EC), UK Department for International Development (DFID/UKAID), UNICEF, WFP, UNFPA, Global Fund and other trusts and foundation.
Currently, this includes partnerships/consortia with Population Services International (PSI) for the DFID funded CHANGE Programme; Mott MacDonald for the DFID funded SHINE programme; UNICEF for the DFID funded SHINE Programme and WFP supported nutrition programme in partnership with a number of local NGO partners.
Health Poverty Action (HPA) is seeking a Country Operations Manager to Provide overall technical and management leadership, guidance and oversight of the program operations, finance, grants and contract’s portfolio to ensure HPA Somaliland is compliant with donor/fund managers’ finance, budget, procurement, grants and contract compliance standards for DFID funded Somali Health and Nutrition Programme (SHINE).
It is a five-year (2016–21) programme that aims to tackle high levels of preventable maternal and child deaths among Somali women and children. This project is supported by three fund management offices (PSI, Mott MacDonald and UNICEF) and implemented by Health Poverty Action in nine districts of Somaliland.
Country Operations Manager
The Country Operations Manager is primarily responsible for overall coordination of programmes’ operations including support to the implementation, monitoring and reporting of programmes activities, and ensuring accountability and learning in order to ensure quality, efficiency, effectiveness and impact of country programs.
The incumbent will be responsible for providing oversight on the day-to-day operations of the SHINE and SAHAN programmes supported by the UK, Department for International Development (DFID) through PSI, Mott MacDonald, UNICEF) as well as provide oversight in managing the programmes’ Human Resources including those of HPA, partners and MOHD.
The post holder will also help to create organizational and program budgets in collaboration with the Country Director and Program Managers/Team Leaders. The post holder will also provide oversight on expenditure analysis, financial reporting, internal audit and facilitating external audit, procurement and assets management.
Apart from the above, the post holder will be responsible for providing oversight to the preparation of commodities requirement, warehouse management, distribution and consumption reporting. The post holder will also be responsible for mentoring and coaching HR, finance and logistics staff and strengthening relevant systems across the SHINE programs.

Report: Apple is exploring "all you can eat" and subscription models for iTunes Store
March 18th, 2008 | Posted in Audio | 3 Comments
It comes as no surprise. Apple is said to be in discussions with the major record labels to allow customers unlimited access to the entire iTunes music library in exchange for paying a premium for iPod and iPhone devices.
The Financial Times reported late today that negotiations for an “all you can eat” model — similar to Nokia’s “comes with music” deal with Universal Music Group — are underway, although it appears Apple and the labels are still a ways off for anything to happen.
According to the FT, Nokia “is understood to be offering almost $80 per handset” to music industry partners. Apple has offered only $20 per device, according to two unnamed executives.
“It’s who blinks first, and whether or not anyone does blink,” one executive said to the FT.
Exploring an alternative or an “in addition to” business model for iTunes comes as no surprise as Apple, a consumer savvy company to begin with, is clearly protecting itself against future shifts in the market and/or consumer behavior.
While Apple recently became the No. 2 music seller in the U.S. (behind Wal-Mart), both the iTunes Store and the iPod line of products are maturing — as is the online music market — and some future shifts are likely to occur.
The FT noted detailed market research “has shown a strong appetite” among consumers for bundling music with the cost of a new player or in exchange for a monthly subscription. The FT did not provide the source of the research.
Supposedly monthly subscriptions in the $7 to $8 range would work only for the iPhone as Apple already has a billing relationship with consumers through mobile carrier AT&T. The “comes with” model would work with the iPhone and iPods.

Wow. I hadn’t even considered such a thing, though perhaps I should have. Are we talking MP3s by chance? 🙂 DRM free and you can count me in.
Steve O'Hear (editor) says:
@ Marshall
It’s not clear if it’s MP3s or AAC with DRM, but I suspect the latter if it’s similar to other offerings. Because of these kind of subscription schemes, I’ve long-argued that DRM isn’t really dead at all.

Dodgy Treasury Sec Geithner fakes his way through fiery Congressional hearing as critics call for his resignation
(Prison Planet) -- Congressman Michael Burgess scalded Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner during a fiery hearing on Capitol Hill this morning, telling the former New York Fed chief that he should never have been hired and demanding that the TARP program come to an abrupt end, shortly after GOP Rep. Kevin Brady had called on Geithner to resign. “The public has lost all confidence in your ability to do the job,” Brady told Geithner during a heated Joint Economic Committee meeting, adding that he had failed to oversee an economic recovery before asking Geithner, “Will you step down from your post?” Geithner responded by claiming that confidence in the economy was substantially stronger than before Obama took office, to which Brady responded, “Tell all of that to the millions of American who no longer have jobs because of your decisions,” adding, “At some point you have to take some responsibility for your decisions.” “This is your budget! This is your bailout”, shouted Brady.
Obama pledged to create 3.5 million new jobs by 2010, however, with unemployment running at 10.2 per cent, and with 3.5 million jobs lost, the Obama jobs deficit stands at over 7 million.
Shortly after the fracas, Rep. Michael Burgess confronted Geithner on how TARP funds were used to bail out banks in Europe while the American people suffered with spiraling mortgage defaults and unemployment. “We’ve got the TARP, it’s supposed to expire, why won’t we let it die a natural death rather than letting it painfully linger?” asked Burgess, to which Geithner responded, “We are working to put TARP out of its misery,” contradicting reports of a “second stimulus” being planned for early 2010. Geithner’s claim that he was working aggressively to terminate TARP programs was met with Burgess’ response, “Well it looks like money is going out with little or no oversight,” which Geithner denied, despite the fact that Fed chairman Ben Bernanke admitted earlier this year that he didn’t know which foreign banks had received over half a trillion dollars in credit swaps when pressed by Congressman Alan Grayson, who this week introduced an amendment with Ron Paul to secure more oversight on money leaving the U.S. earmarked for foreign banks.
Burgess stressed that small businesses were frightened of adding jobs because they were worried about the potential costs of health care, regulation and the impact of the cap and trade program, stating, “We don’t need another stimulus, we need to provide some tax relief and then get the heck out of the way and the American economy will recover as it has always done."...Cont'd...LINK

Based in Moscow, Devyanin of Pixelord is well known for producing incredible experimental electronica with palpable hip hop and 8-bit influences. He's relatively new to the music scene, as he released his first EP, "Love Is," in April 2010. From there, Devyanin went on to release almost a dozen more EPs, though he has as of yet to release a full length album.
Devyanin's latest release is a collaboration with Zack Christ from February 2013 called, "Moosebumps." It's a collection of experimental electronica and UK Garage. It's super chill. So good! Listen below!

April 9-13 is Severe Weather Awareness Week
Published February 26th, 2018
Are you ready for severe weather? Each year, HSEM in collaboration with the National Weather Service and 16 State and local agencies and organizations sponsors Severe Weather Awareness Week in Minnesota. The week is designed to refresh, remind and educate everyone about the seasonal threats from severe weather and how to avoid them. It's also a great time to make and practice your emergency plan and build or refresh your emergency preparedness kit.
Statewide Tornado Drills
The most important events during Severe Weather Awareness Week are the two annual statewide tornado drills. These drills are scheduled for Thursday, April 12, at 1:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. (Counties may choose to opt out of the drills if actual severe weather is possible in the area)
Outdoor warning sirens and NOAA Weather Radios will sound in a simulated tornado warning. The first drill is intended for institutions and businesses. The evening drill is intended for second shift workers and families.
Why Severe Weather Awareness Week?
According to the National Weather Service, Minnesota experiences an average of 40 tornadoes per year. In 2012, 37 twisters touched down. A record was set in 2010 with 104 tornadoes across the state.
Understanding this threat and knowing what to do when a tornado is approaching can save lives.
Take advantage of Severe Weather Awareness Week to review your own and your family's emergency procedures and prepare for weather-related hazards.
Each day of the week focuses on a different weather safety topic:
Monday — Alerts and Warnings
Tuesday — Severe Weather, Lightning and Hail
Wednesday — Floods
Thursday — Tornadoes [with statewide tornado drills]
Friday — Extreme Heat
Check the following page for links to specific information about these topics, including factsheets, checklists, data and other resources: https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/hsem/weather-awareness-preparedness/Pages/severe-weather-awareness-week-program.aspx.
If you are interested in some ideas on how you, your family, business, or your community can participate in Severe Weather Awareness Week, check out some ideas at https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/hsem/weather-awareness-preparedness/Documents/swaw-2018-info-sheet.pdf.

Juventus 4-0 Cagliari
11:33, January 7, 2020
Despite a dominant first-half display, Juve - who were defeated by Lazio in the Supercoppa Italiana in their final match of 2019 - were unable to find a way through before Klavan's calamity.
But once presented with a clear chance, Ronaldo made no mistake, keeping his composure to beat Robin Olsen, who was beaten again by the former Real Madrid star from the spot in the 67th minute.

Ronaldo hits 700th goal
07:56, October 15, 2019
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner brought up his septuple century for club and country when he converted a second-half penalty in Kiev, awarded after Taras Stepanenko handled the ball inside the box.
It was his 95th goal for Portugal, with only Iran's Ali Daei (109) ahead of him on the all-time international goals list.
The bulk of Ronaldo's goals came for Real Madrid – 450 over the course of nine seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu between 2009 and 2018.
700 - Cristiano Ronaldo has scored his 700th career goal for club and country:

Ronaldo: I'm happy with Portugal
Ronaldo starred for the reigning European champions in the Group B clash in Vilnius, taking his tally to 93 international goals.
The 34-year-old was happy for his team after the huge win lifted second-placed Portugal onto eight points.
"I'm having a good time, but the team was doing very well too," Ronaldo told reporters.
"I am happy and enjoying this moment, not because I scored the goals, but because of the level we have been able to demonstrate in recent years.
"It is up to me to continue helping the national team."

South Korean fans take legal action over Cristiano Ronaldo no-show
Ronaldo had been contracted to play at least 45 minutes against K League All Stars, according to event organisers The Fasta Inc, but ultimately sat out the entire game at a packed Seoul World Cup Stadium.
An online community was formed on South Korea's Naver web portal to protest Ronaldo's lack of participation, and two members reached out to lawyer Kim Min- ki to file a lawsuit against the match organisers.

Football Ferns striker Hannah Wilkinson completes Sporting Lisbon move
The 27-year-old has signed a one-year contract with Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon and said there are pictures of Ronaldo everywhere she turns.
"That was one thing that kind of gives me chills every time I step into the academy because in the meeting room it's just his face and pictures of him playing at the same place you're training in right now and how he developed through the ages at that very place," she said.

Rape investigation into Ronaldo dropped
Ronaldo, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time and plays for the Italian club Juventus, has maintained he is innocent of rape.
The allegation made headlines last year after Las Vegas police said they were investigating it.
The case stems from a June 13, 2009, call from a woman to Las Vegas police. She reported that she had been sexually assaulted and police took her to the hospital for an examination, the Clark County District Attorney's Office said in a statement.
But she declined to identify the person who she said assaulted her.

Cristiano Ronaldo set to face tax fraud charges in Spain
09:03, January 22, 2019
The Portuguese striker is expected to plead guilty after he struck a deal last year with authorities in Spain to settle the case by paying an 18.8 million euro ($NZ30.4m) fine and accepting a suspended jail sentence.
The 33-year-old Juventus forward is unlikely to serve any time in jail, as the 23-month term prosecutors have requested is within a two-year threshold that can be served on probation for a first offence under Spanish law.

Ronaldo heads Bianconeri to Supercoppa glory
The Portugal forward headed through the limp hands of Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma just after the hour, which was enough to settle a low-key affair.
Juve could have won by a more comfortable scoreline with Douglas Costa and Joao Cancelo having decent chances, while the Bianconeri twice correctly had goals ruled out for offside before Franck Kessie was deservedly sent off for Gennaro Gattuso's side.

Ronaldo not among Portugal recalls
11:59, November 9, 2018
Juventus star Ronaldo has not appeared at international level since the World Cup.
Reports suggested he could return to face Italy and Poland, but Santos has honoured the joint decision not to consider the forward until 2019.
"The only thing I think about Ronaldo is that he should win the Ballon d'Or," Santos replied when asked about Portugal's all-time top scorer.
There are recalls for defenders Jose Fonte and Raphael Guerreiro, along with midfield pair Andre Gomes and Joao Mario.

Ronaldo family upset by allegation
American Kathryn Mayorga has accused Ronaldo of sexually assaulting her in a hotel in Las Vegas in 2009, something the Portuguese has strenuously refuted.
German publication Der Spiegel first reported the claims, which also included the suggestion Ronaldo paid Ms Mayorga $375,000 in 2010 as part of a privacy agreement, preventing her from going public with the allegations. Ms Mayorga filed a lawsuit in an attempt to quash that agreement while Las Vegas police have re-opened an investigation.

Citizens League Action Groups Kick-Off 2010-2011!
Are you an emerging leader looking for a volunteer opportunity that goes beyond a service role? The Action Groups are self-led groups of young members who will organize to advance work in core Citizens League policy areas while receiving support and training from the Citizens League. You need not be a member to sign up. Learn more at the kick-off event; RSVP here. As a participant in the first two iterations of the Action Groups, I wholeheartedly encourage checking them out and perhaps signing on to contribute lots and learn even more!
5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Midtown Global Market
920 East Lake Street, Minneapolis
We will meet in the northeast corner of the market, in the space with red curtains
Light dinner will be provided from La Loma Tamales
We will validate up to 3 hours of parking in the 10th Avenue ramp just north of Lake Street. Please bring your ticket with you.
About the Action Groups Program
The Citizens League started the Action Groups project a few years ago in response to demand from young members for more substantial engagement opportunities. Many had experience volunteering in service roles, but they told us they wanted to take on more responsibility.
The 2010-2011 Action Groups will be self-led groups of young members organized to advance Citizens League policy work while receiving support and civic leadership training from the Citizens League. Potential areas for policy focus include:
The goal of the Action Groups project is to give young people opportunities to build their civic leadership and active citizenship skills and their networks while advancing important policy work.
This goal is both for the participants as individuals and for the Citizens League as an organization: to build civic capacity in Minnesota, and to engage young people who go on to take leadership roles in the Citizens League and the other organizations in which they are involved.
Tasks for the Group
The first step for any group is to identify the skills, interests, experience, and knowledge that members bring.
Each group will create and carry out a project in the policy area it focuses on. This can be a project that advances the Citizens League’s recommendations on the topic or a policy question that the group will address. Agreeing on a project is generally an Action Group’s most difficult task.
Once the group has determined what it will work on, it can develop and carry out its work plan. To do the project, groups may decide to partner with other organizations, to do some fundraising on their own, to contact the media, etc.
At any point, groups may want to reach out to other individuals within or outside the Citizens League for input or collaboration.
The Citizens League will support the Action Groups with:
Trainings on skills and practices relevant to the projects.
A connection to a group “mentor:” a member who has been through the action groups process before, and who can help the group overcome some familiar challenges.
Connections with subject matter resources, experienced Citizens League members who can share skills such as public speaking, identifying and working with power and resources, media relations, etc.
Funding: Thanks to a grant from the Comcast Foundation, each group will receive some funding to carry out their project.
Membership: Action Groups participants receive a one-year membership to the Citizens League.
Groups’ conveners will meet regularly with each other and Citizens League staff to check in on the projects and share questions and advice. Groups may also want to connect with other Citizens League staff or members working directly on the policy topic they are addressing.

Michigan’s roads and bridges are in desperate need of repair, yet the funding structure for transportation is broken. The measure on the ballot this May 5 attempts to remedy that. While Proposal 1 is not a perfect fix, the Michigan Land Use Institute firmly believes that the positive changes it would have for our infrastructure far outweigh the negatives.
On balance, it’s good for Michigan’s future. It would put into effect a series of policy changes that would raise much-needed money for streets, bridges, rail, and bus systems without cutting funding for cities and schools. Even though the many changes it introduces may seem complex, in reality, it simplifies transportation funding: Fuel taxes will be dedicated to our transportation system.
The public’s distrust in Lansing makes the proposal a legitimate target for cynicism and grandstanding—and it’s not without its flaws. It’s complicated. It’s regressive. It does little to fix how transportation dollars are spent. It would still allow questionable road projects. And, it’s an all-or-nothing ultimatum that the legislature kicked to voters. If you are looking for reasons to vote NO, you can find them.
But, when you consider the alternative—trusting a newer, more conservative legislature to come up with a better solution—we’re focusing on the proposal’s many merits:
Even though the language is complicated, it simplifies how we pay for transportation. Fuel taxes would go to transportation only.
It means many more dollars for buses, rail, and bike networks over the long term. Without this funding, Michigan’s bus, passenger rail and complete streets projects are in deep trouble – especially with this new legislature.
It better connects transportation maintenance to the gas tax and registration fees, making drivers more responsible for their impact on the roads.
It raises money for transportation while giving a little boost to cities and schools. Previous proposals that had traction would divert money from schools and cities for roads.
Right now, the taxes we pay at the pump go to different places in the state budget. Here’s how our current funding system works:
We pay a 19-cents per gallon “Motor Fuel Tax” on gasoline (15-cents for diesel) that covers about half of Michigan’s transportation budget. This tax does not increase with inflation; it’s a “flat” rate that has resulted in declining revenues as fuel efficiencies reduce gasoline purchased. Vehicle registration fees cover the other half of Michigan’s transportation budget.
Motorists also pay a 6% sales or “use” tax when they fill up. Appropriately, this money goes to the state’s school aid fund and cities. Some groups criticize this as a “second tax” on gasoline that doesn’t go to roads.
If the ballot measure passes, then a number of changes would go into effect:
The 6% sales tax on fuel would be eliminated;
That 19-cent “Motor Fuel Tax” would jump to about 41-cents and would increase with inflation. That sounds high, but with the elimination of the fuel sales tax, drivers will only be paying about 10 cents more per gallon, according to the Citizens Research Council.
To make up for the school and city funding that would be cut with the elimination of the sales tax on fuel, the general sales tax on all goods would increase by 1%.
To alleviate the “regressive” impact of the sales tax increase on those with lower incomes, the Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income families would increase. The credit would jump from about $140 for the average recipient to about $430 a year, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury.
Registration fees for large commercial trucks would increase and owners of electric and hybrid vehicles—who pay much less in fuel taxes—will have to pay $25 to $75 a year.
Other changes include making road contractors more accountable for the quality of their work; tweaking the percentages of the sales taxes allocated to schools and municipalities; and eliminating depreciation rates on registration fees.
All those changes will have a big impact on Michigan’s budget. The higher fuel tax would raise about $1.3 billion for transportation improvements annually. And there’s no question that we need new revenue to fix our crumbling roads and bridges. It would also increase funding for transit and rail projects by an extra $116 million each year.
The net increase of a 1% sales increase equals roughly $800 million, which would go toward the school aid fund, local governments, and the state’s general fund.
Again, we recognize this proposal is not perfect. It’s passing the buck to Michiganders to make up for underfunding an overbuilt system. It’s an overly complicated ballot proposal. And leaves plenty of room for much-needed reforms to how transportation dollars are actually spent. Rest assured that MLUI and our transportation reform partners will continue to advocate for those reforms.
But doing nothing—or worse, cutting from schools and cities—is not an option.
The state that brought modern transportation to the rest of the world has been long fractured by crumbling roads, congestion, airport and train delays, and poor bus service, while other places still invest heavily in quality streets, rapid transit, and first-class passenger rail. Michigan must get better, and this is a start. We think Proposal 1 is worth a “yes.”

Much of this is disingenuous rationalization in support of a "lesser of two evils" argument. This is how privatizing profit and socializing risk is maintained.
We all agree that transportation infrastructure spending is public investment and a social benefit. I cannot argue with that, but left unsaid by MLUI are two issues;
transportation funding is a hidden subsidy to small businesses and corporations and is not recouped by the gas tax and registration fees, and
the regressive nature of the taxes are not fully mitigated, otherwise income taxes would decline proportional to the gains from Proposal 1.
MLUI is silent about these, which push more of worker's income to the top earners and corporations.
Assertions are being made which are unfounded, without proof. A glaring example is ". . . making drivers more responsible for their impact on the roads" which is a thoroughly discredited statement of moral hazard.
This MLUI statement is rationalization, not an accurate analysi

Your reasons to vote NO are reason enough for me. This is 1960's mentality being used to fix 2015 and beyond problems. While mentioned, is there any guarantee that alternatives to one driver/one car will be funded and implemented or is the only guarantee that we will be paying more for everything we purchase in Michigan? We need to stop supporting bad plans under the guise that it is the best we can do because if we don't we will have nothing but bad plans.

Building the RC Leopard 2A4 1/16 scale A couple of years ago, I discover www.Ludwigs-Hobby-Seite.de, a web site where Christian Ludwig offers his kits mostly made of plastic, cut with the CNC technology. So, I found a kit to convert a Heng Long 2A6 to the 2A4, that is to say a previous version.
Converting the Trumpeter T-72 MBT to RC 1/16 scale To improve the Heng Long T-90 I read some books and gathered information/photos from the web. This little research made me know more about these compact Russian tanks T-72/T-90, and so it grew my interest in them. So I bought the 1/16 T-72 Trumpeter kit. This kit was designed not only for static but also for RC. The static version has some extra details and modifications, reminds me the, T-34 from WSN, a brand with which Trumpeter sold the T-34 RC. The philosophy of the T-72 is the same, I still believe that the T-34 gearbox with its motors, would fit in the hull. Perfectly.
Building and improving the Italeri / Protar Alfa Romeo 179 1980 1/12 scale In May 2001 I wrote a brief preview on the Protar's 1/12 Alfa Romeo 179. This wonderful Formula One was one of the few cars in modern F1 history which chassis and engine were the same brand. Is this model really difficult? This is the key question for this model, and the answer is NO. If it were a Tamiya model, that is to say the same matrix but injected with Tamiya plastic and having the quality control of this huge Japanese company, I would say that this is one of the most delicious models I have ever built. Unfortunately, it has some flaws, mainly due to its poor quality than to the work of the Protar craftsmen.
Tamiya Caterhams, a step by step guide for novices 1/12 scale The first Catherham from Tamiya coming to my hands at the end of 1994, was the “Cycle Fender Special” (10202), since the “Super Seven BDR was out of stock, and it was impossible for me to get it from the stores I used to buy kits. From that moment on, my affair with which, I think is the best scale car kit ever produced, began. And here my comment: probably, you have seen better detailed kits, or even superb models limited editions.

Building the IDF M50 radio controled Sherman 1/16 scale Building the M50 in 1/16 scale is a project I have had in mind for many years, and after the M51s (from the article published in May 2012) I felt the need to continue with this one. In this article, I’ll share with the reader my experience in building the M50 RC 1/16 from a Tamiya M4 -105mm with HVSS suspension.
Building the Pocher Lamborghini Huracan, step by step, painting guide and tips. 1/8 scale These are the new times of Pocher, hand in hand with Hornby, the brand that offer models which represent high technology subjects as Lamborghini cars and Ducati motorcycles. Manufactured by Ixo, the Chinese company, they are the fashion of the time, huge 1/8 scale cars with metal body and chassis, already painted (luckily!). They compete with Amalgam and other brands with less expectations but to fit any budget and if you have some experience as model builder, the result will be acceptable and even excellent. The aim of this tutorial is to share the step by step in the Lamborghini Huracán construction, the last Pocher issue explaining the work achieved so that it may be useful for less experienced modelers and collectors.

Scratchbuilding the Nieuport 6H, 1/48 scale I decided to scratchbuild this plane after seeing the scale drawings by Mike Fletcher in his web site: The Nieuport Pages. I sent an E-mail to him and he kindly sent me pictures and larger resolution scale drawings. Once I enlarged the plans to 1/48, I noticed how big the plane was....

Building and customizing the Tamiya Ducati Panigale S 1/12 scale The Ducatti Panigale is to my liking one of the most spectacular motorcycles of the past decade. Thanks to Tamiya we can have a model of it, both were the reasons why I decided to build it trying to get the most detailed model I could , taking advantage of the fact that as it was a mass production model, it would be possible for me to get a lot of references. Not only I built and superdetailed the model, but also made a slightly and own customized version, a real Panigale, as I would like to have. The aim of this article, is to show with pictures and their comments the work accomplished as a guide and to give ideas of the details that can be added or showing in some cases how to do the different tasks.
Improving the Dragon Kubelwagen 1/6 scale # 75003 Action figure collecting is one of the most popular hobbies in the world. Figures made out of different plastic materials based on TV sci-fi series, sci-fi movies (for instance GI Joe action figures) and facts from real life such as the representation of different war scenarios. Soldier figures are commonly made in 1/6 scale, they’re represented with military uniforms made from genuine fabric and the weapons that real soldiers use to have, vehicles included.

Advanced techniques: Building the P-51D Mustang "Lt Col John Myers" Petie 3rd Dragon 1/32 scale The infamous Dragon P-51D in 1/32. This model was started before Tamiya announced their kit, and I have to admit that during this build I did consider scrapping it more than once. In the end, I am very glad I did not. Despite the challenges and limitations of this kit, I am very happy (and proud) of the end result.
Realistic wire wheels for 1/12 scale motorcycles One of the biggest challenges for a modeler who builds motorcycles in 1/12 scale, is to modify a wire wheel and make it look realistic; specially without having to buy an aftermarket kit. Anyway, there are no kits for this kind of modification (except for one of the Acu-stion for the Tamiya XV1600 kit), so it's not possible to get one. So any modeler attempting to do this task must rely in his/her ability in order, to get a good result.

Building rusted cars - VW 1966 - 1/24 scale It all started with a joke, I built a rusted Mustang GT 350 to make a gift to a friend who only builds Mustangs. It was at a modelers meeting when he received a homage and the joke consisted of letting him know the arduous remodeling and restoration work he would have with this rusted Mustang. I took advantage of my work and presented it in a contest that took place in Campinas city. Finally, the model was “best of the show” and they called me mad for giving a winning model. My answer was.... I will have to make another rusted model for me.
Improving the Dragon Schwimmwagen - 1/6 scale #75013 Being a car fan, everything that has wheels attracts my attention, nevertheless, the Kubelwagen’s amphibious sibling, went unnoticed by me for quite a long time. After building the 1/6 Dragon Kubel, I was pretty excited with the Schwimmwagen, and the quality of the kit and improvements Dragon introduced a couple of years after the Kubel release, really surprised me. This article aims at offering my view about this kit construction, adding some improvements I considered necessary so as to make a worthy scale model.

A Munster final penalty save, a injury time equalising point on his debut and the junior-B’s return to championship action. This week’s club notes are packed with news on the Blues
Aodán Ó Conchúi in action against Cork on Saturday night
We had a number of players involved in inter-county action this weekend.
Grace O’ Brien in action in the Munster final
Firstly, we commiserate with Sarah Quigley, Grace O’ Brien and the Tipperary senior camogie team who were defeated by Cork in the Munster final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday, 0-19 to 0-6. Sarah herself had a fine game with superb puck outs and she made a dramatic first half penalty save from Aoife Murray. They now face Meath in their opening championship game in two weeks.

Secondly, we congratulate Cian O’ Farrell, Seán Phelan, Rory O’ Donovan and the Tipperary minor hurlers who overcame the disappointment of last week’s loss to Limerick with a 4-15 to 1-13 win over Cork. The lads now face Waterford on Sunday next in the Gaelic Grounds, Limerick.
Thirdly, we had two players involved in the Primary Schools matches over the weekend. Aodán Ó Conchúir featured at half-time of the Munster senior football semi-final on Saturday evening in Semple Stadium while Sam O’ Farrell played during the break of the Tipperary Cork Munster hurling championship game on Sunday, also in Thurles. Well done to both lads and we hope you had a wonderful experience.

Finally, Roy Race made his debut for Melchester Rovers in the popular comic magazine Roy of the Rovers and scored twice in a 3-3 draw against Elbury Wanderers and went onto become a star footballer. Today, our own Jake Morris made an equally dramatic debut for the Tipperary senior hurlers as he came off the substitutes’ bench deep in stoppage time to score a game-saving point to rescue his county from defeat against Cork in a game that finished 1-23 to 2-20. Dáire Quinn and Barry Heffernan were also part of the panel and we extend them our best wishes in the next round on Sunday against Waterford in the Gaelic Grounds, Limerick at 4pm.

We commiserate with Barry Coffey and the Irish under-17 soccer team who were beaten in extraordinary circumstances in the quarter-finals of the European Championship by the Netherlands on Tuesday last. Barry had a fine tournament cementing his growing reputation as an up and coming soccer player.
The so called fighting Irish can’t mix it with the standard of European football? Cheers for everyone’s support over this 3 year journey. ❤️Words can’t describe how we feel right now about that result. The future it bright and we will be back stronger than ever 👊🇮🇪

Two county final’s won, a senior inter-county call up and three Nenagh Éire Óg men doing well on the international stage. This week’s club notes are crammed with news on the Blues’
We extend our commiserations to Callan Scully and the Tipperary minor side who were defeated by Clare on Tuesday last in the Electric Ireland Munster semi-final 2-4 to 1-9. Callan played in goals in all four of Tipperary’s championship games this year and his performances caught the eye of many supporters who were more than impressed with his assured, confident displays. There’s no doubt that we will get more opportunities to see him man the goals for Tipperary in the future.

Another man who is excelling on the inter-county stage is Jake Morris who this week was called into Michael Ryan’s senior panel. Jake joins Barry Heffernan and Dáire Quinn as the Nenagh Éire Óg representatives on the Tipperary senior hurling panel.
Our junior-A side exited the league on Friday evening following a 4-10 to 1-17 loss to Toomevara in MacDonagh Park. Nenagh started brightly but a goal scoring spree just before half-time handed the Greyhounds the initiative and despite a brave fightback, Éire Óg just could not reel them in. They are due to play Kilruane MacDonaghs on Saturday May 26th in MacDonagh Park at 17:30 in the opening round of the championship.

Liam Heffernan
A man who has given more than most to his community is Liam Heffernan. A club stalwart, he has taught Physical Education for 42 years, mostly in Nenagh College. Indeed the school has recently decided to acknowledge Liam for his tireless work over the years in the best way they know how by naming the school’s sports hall after him. Congratulations Liam from everyone in the club.

We now progress to the Munster championship in July.
Manager Kevin Tucker in a touching speech afterwards thanked all the players and their parents for their time and commitment throughout the year. He reserved special attention for Michael Kennedy and his father Paddy who made sure to have the time of the game rearranged so that it would not clash with sister Ava’s first holy communion! He also thanked Catherine McTiernan for all her work with the juvenile club throughout the year despite her difficult personal circumstances in recent weeks. Catherine is an unsung heroine of the club and spends hours every week working for the juvenile section and this got the loudest applause from all present.

North Tipperary Community Games Champions 2018
Congratulations to both Grace O’ Brien and Sarah Quigley who played for the Tipperary senior team yesterday evening in their 1-24 to 1-13 win over Limerick in the Munster semi-final.

The team now face Cork in the provincial decider and we wish them the very best of luck.
Hard luck to Hazel McAuliffe and Ruth Hassett who were part of the Tipperary intermediate side defeated by Cork in the Munster championship.

We also extend our best wishes to Callan Scully and the Tipperary minor footballers who face Clare in the Munster semi-final this Tuesday evening in Semple Stadium at 7pm. A Premier win will not only see the team advance to the Munster final but also guarantee football throughout the summer as they will also qualify for the All-Ireland series. Callan has been simply outstanding in his three championship matches to date and it would be fantastic to see a large crowd from the club there to support him this Tuesday.
Callan Scully
Shane Connolly
One man that has more than made his mark on the club is Shane Connolly. Shane was part of an extremely successful underage team in Nenagh Éire Óg and he has passed on his vast knowledge of the game to numerous boys and girls over the years through coaching and managing various hurling, Gaelic football and camogie sides. In recent times he has been involved with the North and Mid Tipperary side in the Celtic Challenge and he spoke to http://www.gaa.ie You can read Shane’s interview in the Twitter link below:

The club would like to express its condolences to Catherine McTiernan and family following the recent passing of her brother Noel Russell, Carrick Swan.

Nenagh Éire Og Juvenile club Family Fun Run is scheduled to take place on Sunday June 17th.
Action from the senior league match against Drom & Inch
Our senior camogie team had mixed results this week. On Thursday evening they travelled to The Ragg to take on Drom & Inch and were missing a large number of players due to exam and inter-county commitments and were beaten however those that played deserve huge credit for their performances as they battled all the way to the full-time whistle. The team had much better luck however on Saturday evening as they overcame the challenge poised by Clonoulty Rossmore in MacDonagh Park, 1-11 to 0-8, a result that ensures the side have qualified for the league semi-finals. They have one match left to play against Éire Óg Annacarty and this is expected to take place next weekend.

We played out a thrilling draw with neighbours Kiladangan, 1-4 apiece, on Wednesday evening in MacDonagh Park. This is no fixture this week and training continues at the usual times.
Training continues at 6pm on Tuesdays and 5.30pm on Thursdays. We play our final group match away to Portroe at 7pm on Wednesday evening.
The Nenagh Éire Óg camogie club are thrilled to reveal the celebrity chef for this year’s Come Dine With Me fundraiser in the Hibernian Inn on Friday 11th May.
Winner of two All-Ireland titles, four Munster medals, two National hurling leagues and four All Star awards with Tipperary, as well as a county senior hurling championship with Nenagh Éire Óg, Michael Cleary is going to be the head chef for the evening.
Michael has been hugely successful in management leading Tipperary to their very first All-Ireland camogie title in 1999 and two more successes in 2000 and 2001 and there is no doubt that he will use these leadership skills in the kitchen as he puts his own unique stamp on the menu.
A hugely successful business man, he owns and operates JKC’s in Nenagh and it is fitting that he has teamed up with another local success story, Nenagh Éire Óg camogie club, to deliver what promises to be a wonderful evening of food, drink and lots of fun.
Music on the night will be provided by the brilliant Dufrane and the eight players who won county junior-B, junior-A and intermediate medals with the club will be honoured.
Tickets cost €20 or three for the amazing price of €50 and can be purchased from any committee member.

Our senior hurlers qualified for the North Tipperary semi-final while this week we have two North finals to look forward to
Action from the under-12 D semi-final V Toomevara
Our senior hurlers qualified for the Hibernian Inn North Tipperary senior hurling semi-final following a 2-23 to 0-9 win over neighbours Burgess in St Michael’s Park, Toomevara this evening. John Fitzgerald’s outfit were in super form throughout and had first-half goals on the board from Jake Morris and Michael Heffernan. Our next championship game is likely to take place in late August or September when the Tipperary senior hurlers and footballers’ interest ends in the 2018 championships. However, the team will still have plenty of hurling to look forward to over the summer with the county league. Well done to all concerned.
Bob O’ Brien on the attack against Toomevara
Our junior-A side recorded a 2-25 to 2-20 win over Toomevara in St Michael’s Park on Friday evening in the final round of the group stage of the North Tipperary junior-A league and have completed this stage of the league with a 100% success rate. The team now advance to a play-off with Toomevara with the winners going forward to the league semi-final. This play-off match is expected to take place on May 11th.
Our under-21 hurling side kick off their North Tipperary campaign on Saturday evening next at 7pm in Dolla against Toomevara.
Congratulations to Callan Scully and the Tipperary minor footballers who defeated Waterford in Lemybrien on Wednesday last 2-11 to 2-6. The side now face Clare in Semple Stadium on Tuesday May 8th at 7pm. Callan himself gave an assured display and could not be faulted for the two Déise goals. Well done Callan from everyone in the club.

Despite the result Callan gave a superb performance in goals where he pulled off two amazing first-half saves to keep the Premier in the game. His overall performance was beyond his years as he confidently organised his six backs and delivered pin-point kick outs throughout the game. See the Twitter link below to watch the second of his first-half blocks.

Under 14: Our U14 footballers lost out to an impressive Ballina side in round 3 of the football championship. Our next football championship game is away to Inane Rovers at 6.30pm on Wednesday, April 12th.
Camogie Club Notes
U8: Training is on Thursdays 5.30 to 6.30 with Ciarán Morris. We would like to thank the senior players for helping out over the last few weeks but as it is such a large group of players we need more help if they are to get the most out of their time in the field. We would encourage the parents to set up a rota to help out. Contact chairperson Caitriona Morris 087-7776135.
U10’s and U12’s training on Thursdays 5.30 to 6.30 . Well done to the u12s who played outstandingly well in the Camán to Munster blitz in Mallow last Saturday just missing out in the ultimate prize of playing in Croke Park.
U14: Training on Tuesdays 5.30 to 6.30. They are due to play against Cashel this week. You will be notified by WhatsApp message. Best of luck to Meaghan Morris, Hazel Cawley and Michelle Barry and their Tipperary u 14 colleagues in the Limerick blitz this weekend.
U16: The Nenagh/ Kildangan team played Ballina in what can only be described as an outstandingly skilful game of Camogie in MacDonagh park on Monday night in horrific conditions. It didn’t deter either team as they went at each other hammer and tongs. The newly amalgamated team are gelling well together but it was Ballina who raced into a 2.2 to 3 point lead at half time. Nenagh/Kildangan came out a different team in the second half after a robust half time team talk by Manager Martin Morris and also the introduction of Meaghan Morris and Hazel Cawley into the Nenagh/ Kildangan forward line was beginning to unsettle the Ballina backs. This was to be a ding dong game full of skill and determination as the lead changed hands a few times in the second half with Sarah Hallinan scoring 2 goals for Nenagh . Ballina looked to have clinched the game but an injury time goal from Meaghan Grace who was set up by Meaghan Morris ensured that the game ended a draw 3.4 apiece. They now play Newport away on Monday night and a win is a must for this team.
Team Ella Carey , Siobhán Collins , Sarah Seymour , Katie Morris , Abbie Sheedy , Maeve Ryan , Naoise McCloone , Ellie Spain , Maeve Hassett , Aishlin Moran , Lucy Spain (0.1pt) Meaghan Grace(1.1) Sarah Hallinan (2.0) Lilly O Brien, Emma Gavin, Meaghan Morris (0.2) Eva McKeogh ,Hazel Cawley , Caoimhe Clancy ,Orla Flannery ,Leah McLoughney .
Hard luck to Ella Carey ,Lucy Spain , Katie Morris and Maeve Hassett and their Tipperary u 16 team who lost out to Cork in the Munster final last weekend.
The senior team continue to train hard as they prepare themselves for the Senior championship later in the year.
The club will have a celebration of our hard won elevation to senior status in the Scouts Hall May 13th. It will celebrate all the players and management of the club that were involved since the foundation of the club. It will also be an opportunity to thank our sponsors and allow our sponsors and opportunity to showcase their businesses in the entrance to the hall.
Our annual clothes collection is on Saturday April 22nd, and is a great way for your spring clean to make money for our club.

One of the highlights of 2013 for the men and women of Nenagh Éire Óg was the minor A hurlers placing county titles back-to-back in such unforgettable circumstances. Killian Gleeson, of course, captained this year’s winning team. It was most interesting to note and highlighted brilliantly in the September edition of the club newsletter that Killian’s granduncle, Michael Grey, captained the successful 1947 team which also featured Fr Alec Reid who played such an influential role in the peace process and, sadly, passed away recently.
The 1947 Nenagh Éire Óg minor hurling team – back row from left: Phil Hennessy, Stephen Ryan, Willie Gleeson, Frankie O’Donnell, Eddie O’Donnell & Liam McKenna. Middle row from left: Martin Hogan, Michael Doyle, Paddy Cadell, Gerry Manning, Frank Manning, Fr Alec Reid, Pat Hynes, Michael Spain, Denis Grey & Eddie Hynes. Front row from left: Seán Leahy, Barry Murphy, John Kennedy, Peter Maloney, Michael McLoughlin, Father Joe Hayes, Seán O’Connell, Michael Grey, Johnny McGrath & John Fleming.
The links between the ’47 team and the 2013 team which made history by capturing a seventh north title in-a-row is extraordinary.
The 1947 team was captained by Michael Grey, a granduncle of 2013 captain Killian Gleeson. Killian’s sister is under-16 Camogie star Saoirse. Shane Hennessy, another member of the current panel, is a grandson of Phil Hennessey while Eddie and Pat Hynes of the 1947 team are granduncles to midfielder Andrew Coffey.
The connections don’t end there however as team physio Eddie Hynes is a nephew of Eddie and Pat while Daire Gleeson is their grandnephew and Mick Hynes is their brother. Also, the O’Brien’s Donie, Kieran, Willie and Noreen (Coffey) are nephews and a niece of Pat and Eddie Hynes.
There are also other connections to well-known figures within the club. Frank Manning who passed away recently is Niall Madden’s and under-14 hurler Alan Manning’s grandfather and Gerry Manning is their grand-uncle. Martin Hogan is also a grandfather to David and John Minogue while Willie Gleeson is related to senior selector Enda Costello.
Michael Grey is father to 2013 under-16 manager Michael Grey (who himself won a north minor medal in 1992) while Denis Grey is his uncle.
Michael Doyle is a granduncle of under-14 player Peter Folan and underage coach Ronan Walsh is a nephew of Seán Leahy while Paddy Cadell is a granduncle of under-8 and under-12 players Zac and Josh Keller.
Peter Maloney, pictured in the front row is a granduncle to senior hurlers Noel and Hugh Maloney. Peter is living in Australia since the mid-1950s.
With such strong connections to the past and with a club growing stronger all the time we look forward to a successful 2014.
Best wishes to all supporters of the Blues and here’s to a successful 2014.

NNA moves Congressional Action Team Summit one week later in 2020
National Newspaper Association is taking the unusual step of moving its Congressional Action Team Summit to new dates in 2020.
The Summit will now be March 25 to 27, 2020, according to NNA’s Public Policy Director Tonda Rush.
“Because NNA has to make event arrangements well ahead of the final Congressional schedule each session, we sometimes find we have chosen dates that land on a Congressional recess. That is what happened for our next Summit. We are now moving the event to make it one week later than previously announced dates,” Rush said.

Republicans block HR 2382
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The days before Congress makes big spending decisions are traditionally the most active for NNA’s Congressional Action Team. That is when House and Senate leadership get serious about packaging bills that are in their queue into one giant measure for an up-or-down vote.
It is also traditionally when measures that affect the U.S. Postal Service are passed — or not passed. The CAT’s archives in December chalked up one more big effort to improve the odds for maintaining universal service across the United States. But its efforts came to naught as Republicans blocked a bill NNA had supported.
Postal Tips: Electronic paid/requester subscriptions can count as valuable add-ons in certain circumstances
The ability to count electronic subscriptions on the annual postal Statement of Ownership, Management and Circulation, PS Form 3526, has been established since 2012. I have not revisited the subject since then, when a third page was added to the form to make counting possible.
Newspapers selling e-subs, as commonly abbreviated, wanted to be able to count them on their sworn statement as legitimate proof to advertisers of the additional circulation. NNA worked for three years through various channels to make it happen.
National Newspaper Association applauds postal bill
National Newspaper Association President Matt Adelman, publisher of the Douglas (Wyomimg) Budget, today announced that a postal reform bill supported by NNA has achieved a sufficient number of both Democrats and Republicans as sponsors and action has been recommended to Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Adelman thanked Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., for his leadership in moving HR 2382 to possible action on the House consensus calendar, which is a streamlined process for quick passage of legislation.
Postal Q & A: Statements of ownership run in text form? Late?
These are questions to the NNA postal hotline that may be of interest to all members but with names and titles removed to protect the identity of the location asking.
Q: We forgot to file our Statement of Ownership report and run it in the paper this year. What should we do?

Strawberry Rhubarb Galette
Lately, I've been thinking about loss and home. Not as separate thematic entities, but rather the Venn diagram overlap of the two. These thoughts have been prompted by my move to a new state and region that has also experienced great loss-- economic, cultural, environmental and where connection to home and place is so prominent and visceral. Maybe it's because I grew up in the Midwest, or have lived so many other places, but aside from a dew special places from my childhood, that deep tie to place and state and region is mostly foreign to me. On a recent trip home for my grandma Georgette's 85th birthday, though, I was confronted by my own personal feelings on "home loss" and nostalgia, for a place I can't really return to.
My parents and my mother's siblings and their spouses, my brother and his girlfriend, and other extended family, all gathered at my grandma's home, a mostly-retiree condo community that she moved to after my grandfather died. Their house which she moved from sat on 20 acres of woods and pasture in North Liberty, deep in Indiana farm country. My grandparents were a part of that community, but also were a little different, evidenced by their unusual home built on land between cornfields on a country road. My grandfather, a painter, lithographer, and the former art director for Studebaker, designed and built their angular, energy-efficient mid-century modern dwelling, which was tiered with balconies, decks, and the outdoor back "secret stairs" that I liked to take upon my arrival to "surprise" my grandmother who was undoubtedly waiting to greet me at the kitchen window. Their porches and yard were peppered with abstract sculptures, like the sundial "dinosaur" that stood in the center of my grandmother's flower bed, and my grandfather studio, housing his lithograph press, stood just on the other side of the driveway en route to the fishing pond.
In Southern culture, literature in particular, there's a lot of talk about "the home place." That concept doesn't appear in the Midwest so much, maybe because so many Midwesterners were migrants with a home place elsewhere-- the south, east, or another country altogether. But that weird house on Riley Road was my home place, where extended family would gather for holidays and big Sunday meals every week of my childhood, and where my brother and I were free to roam, a thrill for us inner-city kids.
It's somewhat tangential but relevant, I think, to share that my family had actually been displaced from our original home place-- land I never knew when it was ours, but was the home of my great-grandparents, grandparents, mother and her siblings. That previous property, where my grandfather had also build a house of his own design, was taken away by the state via eminent domain for the creation of a state park that the government had hoped would bring in crucial tourist dollars. It never really did, and I have to wonder if that has something to do with the displacement of the many families who lived there and stayed in the community-- families who were also still obligated to pay the park entrance fee to walk to land that still bears no sign that it was once theirs. Maybe I've absorbed some bitterness about it. Though that doesn't subtract from the connection I felt and still feel to the familial home I knew, it adds another inherited layer to my own sense of loss, and I imagine that feeling is even sharper for my mom and her siblings.
One of the things I remember clearly from the home place I knew were the rhubarb plants that lined my grandma's raised bed. They were the biggest rhubarb plants I've ever seen, their toxic leaves almost Jurassic, served as ample shade for the two grey cats, Blue and Pinkie, and were last-minute hiding places for our hide 'n' go seek games at dusk. The edible stalks were bright red and thick-- making the pallid and limp green and pink stalks I sometimes get at the grocery store seem like an entirely different species.
The day before my grandma's birthday party, my mom, aunts, uncle, and I had lunch at Georgette's (or as my dad and uncles call her, "Big Gette") house. We made cold cut sandwiches, and after we were done, my grandma apologetically brought a store-bought rhubarb crisp to the table, saying it was store bought because she couldn't find any rhubarb at the store, adding that she's never found any as good as the rhubarb she used to grow on Riley Rd. When she served it, my mom and aunt refused a slice, but my uncle, now a Floridian who doesn't come across much rhubarb anymore obliged, and as a ever-rhubarb fan with an ample sweet tooth, I did too.
I don't blame or judge my grandma for buying a store-bought rhubarb crisp. Rather, I applaud her for, after long last, allowing someone else to do some work for her- at 85, a mother of 5, and a grandmother of 5, and the family matriarch, she definitely deserves it. The crisp wasn't bad, but it didn't taste anything like rhubarb, the cloying taste of sugar and over-use of preservatives and thickener completely masking any of that biting tartness we were after. But as we sat there chewing, here in a house that despite its cookie-cutie exterior exudes the magic of my grandmother, I realized that what I was tasting was the taste of home and loss, and it was much too sweet.
Adapted from Food & Wine
Nothing in the House pie crust
2 cups (1 pint) strawberries, sliced thick
1 pound rhubarb stalks, cut into pieces
1/2 - 3/4 cup sugar, depending on your tartness preference
1 teaspoon of your favorite bitters (I used black cardamom bitters; or substitute vanilla extract)
Turbinado sugar
1. Prepare Nothing in the House pie crust as per the directions here. Chill dough at least 1 hour before rolling out into a 13-14 inch circle on a sheet of parchment paper or a Silpat. Put the rolled crust and parchment/Silpat on a cookie sheet and return it to the fridge while you prepare the filling.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together sliced strawberries, rhubarb pieces, sugar, flour, lemon juice and bitters (or vanilla extract).
3. Remove rolled crust from fridge and spread the fruit filling over the pastry, leaving a 2-inch edge. Fold the edge over the filling, pleating at the corners. Dot the filling with butter pieces. Brush crust with milk and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar.
4. Place the galette in the oven and bake on the middle rack for 1 hour or until fruit is bubbling and the pastry is golden brown. Let cool before slicing into wedges and serving with vanilla ice cream.

Notice of Closure
This has been a heartbreaking decision for us, but we simply cannot continue to operate with no money. It is with deep regret that we make this announcement.
Oakwood Dog Rescue may have to close permanently on 01/01/16
It costs approximately £6,000 a month to run a rescue and we're not even coming close to covering our operating costs. The rescue centre is in debt to the tune of £13,000 at the moment and this is growing month on month. We have to pay rent, heating, water, telephone bills, vet bills, flea treatment, worming.... the list goes on and on and on.
We wouldn't have made it this far without the dedication of our staff and volunteers doing street collections but the money coming in from these is rapidly declining we simply cannot covering our monthly outgoings. A couple of bad collections in the poor weather and the vet bill for Bruno's surgery (to read more about Bruno, CLICK HERE) left us with just £47 in our bank account.
We're incredibly grateful that we have a minimal food bill thanks to your generosity and also we get lots of items donated which we can sell or recycle to make money, but this takes up time and is inconsistent. We wish we could pay the rent with love and Chappie but the landlord isn't impressed when our rent is late EVERY month and our dedicated staff are NEVER paid on time. Between them they regularly work 100 plus hours a month for free because they care so much and there's just no money to pay them.
Our major problem is a consistent flow of cash. We need a minimum of £2,000 per month to cover our basic bills.
We don't want to close, but we have no option unless we can get at least 2,000 people to give just £1 per month we can keep the rescue centre open!!!! We have just 2 months to get 2,000 people signed up to our direct debit scheme.
The staff are on a mission, we're fighting to SAVE OUR RESCUE, but we can't do it on our own. 99% of the population will not miss £1 a month leaving their bank account if it means helping an abused, neglected and unwanted dog! You can help in one of 3 different ways:
You can sign up to one of our Direct Debit donation plans here:
£1 per month: https://dashboard.gocardless.com/…/templ…/0RFCRMZ5Z9/paylink
£2 per month: https://dashboard.gocardless.com/…/templ…/10NWEP86PM/paylink
£3 per month: https://dashboard.gocardless.com/…/templ…/0RZ4SXKDSW/paylink
£4 per month: https://dashboard.gocardless.com/…/templ…/10N5H93A2B/paylink
£5 per month: https://dashboard.gocardless.com/…/templ…/0RZ4KXDQY8/paylink
Or, you can donate using Paypal. To make a small monthly donation make sure you check the recurring payment box!
Or, you can set up a Standing Order with your bank. Either through online or telephone banking, or at a local branch. All you'll need are our bank details and they'll set everything up:
Our Bank account is with Lloyds Bank
If you are a UK taxpayer we can claim an additional 25p for every £1 you donate to us. You can fill in your gift aid declairation
We kindly ask that you do not call the rescue centre
Every time we answer a call another two come through and we can't answer the phone as the care of the dogs must come first. We're also missing important calls from TV channels and newspapers because people are calling constantly. The amount of support is amazing and we're so grateful, but we need to focus on looking after the dogs. We know you'll all understand this!
If you need to get in touch with us just send us a Private Facebook Message or an email to [email protected] and we will get back to you as soon as we can. Thank you!
Myths and Stories
There are a lot of unhelpful rumours going around at the moment so we thought we'd set the record straight!
IF we have to close, the dogs in our care WILL NOT be automatically be put to sleep! We have connections with rescue centres up and down the country. Any dogs left in our care will be found a suitable space at another rescue centre.
Oakwood Dog Rescue does not yet have registered charity status, however, we are still a non profit organisation. This means any surplus revenue (not that there ever is any), is put back into the rescue to further our aims and purposes. We do not have any shareholders or equivalent who receive money from the rescue centre. We are registered with HMRC as a non-profit and therefore we are able to claim Gift Aid on all donations made by UK taxpayers. We have been working closely with the charity commission and we will have our official registered charity number in the next couple of months.
Oakwood Dog Rescue, Oakwood Canine Services and Oakwood Dog Grooming all share a similar name because they were founded by the same group of people. Here the link ends!
Oakwood Canine Services is a limited company and it is a successful business in it's own right, and existed long before the rescue centre was started. Oakwood Canine Services has financially supported the rescue centre for several years and provides FREE training for the dogs. It does not benefit in any way as a result of the rescue centre. It will not close if the rescue centre closes.
Oakwood Dog Grooming is a limited company and is also a successful business in it's own right. Oakwood Dog Grooming offers FREE grooms to our rescue dogs and recieves no financial benefits for doing so. It will not close if the rescue centre closes.

The Hoptown Hoppers defeated the visiting Fulton Railroaders 6-2
The Hoptown Hoppers (23-15) defeated the visiting Fulton Railroaders (17-21) 6-2 on Monday night in Hopkinsville at Tiger Field. The Hoppers put up 10 hits on the night, but it would prove to be defensive miscues that cost Fulton the game with a total of 7 Railroader errors.
With one out in the bottom of the 1st inning, Zach Duvall blasted a double off the left field wall followed by an infield single by Taylor Fought. Fought then stole 2nd base, but two throwing errors allowed both Duvall and Fought to score.
Fulton responded with two runs in the top of the 2nd. Paul Salata led off the inning with a solo shot over the right field wall. With one out, former Hopper Will Acuff reached first base on a single and would later score on a fielder’s choice RBI by Owen Parsons.
Hoptown regained the lead in the bottom of the 2nd inning. A walk put lead off batter Aiden Elias on first. An error would push him to 2nd base and then he scored on an RBI single by Fought.
Nolen Milton started the bottom of the 3rd inning for the Hoppers reaching first on an error by the 3rd baseman and was advanced to 2nd on a base hit by Daryl Myers. On a sacrifice bunt from Dalton Dedas, a costly throwing error by the 1st baseman would allow Milton to score and Myers to reach 3rd. A base hit by Aharon Modlin drove in Myers for the 2nd run of the inning.
The Hoppers added another run in the 4th inning. With one out, Reese Alexiades hit a single up the middle. He then stole 2nd base and advanced to 3rd on a wild pitch. A costly error by the 2nd baseman allowed Alexiades to score.
Fulton slowed down the Hoppers with effective relief pitching from Hunter Smith and Pablo Arevalo holding them scoreless the rest of the game.
Dustin Berrong (8-1) earned his 8th win of the season for the Hoppers, establishing a new OVL record for wins. Berrong went 7 innings, giving up 2 earned runs on 5 hits with no walks and 9 strikeouts. Jesse Philp would come in and pitch 2 scoreless innings to close out the game for the Hoppers.
The Hoppers head to Madisonville tomorrow to face the Miners (17-21) while Fulton travels to Paducah to face the Chiefs (17-20).

Parents have a responsibility to ensure that their children receive full time education. Regular attendance is essential if children are to progress with their learning. The school day is divided into two registration sessions so, for example, one day of absence will be recorded as two sessions.
We would expect parents/carers to inform the school by 9.30am by phone or in person, if your child is unwell and unable to attend school. If we have no reason for the absence by 9.30am the absence will be recorded as unauthorised. We would also expect to be notified if your child has a medical appointment by 9.30am. Other planned absences should be notified to the school via an Application for Leave of Absence Form.
School starts at 8.50am for all classes. We believe that punctuality is an important social courtesy and regularly arriving late to school not only disrupts your child's opportunities for learning but also those other children in his/her class. Children arriving late must access the school via the school office where they are registered and the reason for his/her late arrival is recorded. Late arrivals are monitored by the school.
Children of school age who are registered at The Pathfinder C of E Primary School must, by law, attend school regularly. The Education (Pupil Registration) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2013 amended the previous Education Regulations (England) 2006 removing the Headteacher's discretion to agree term time holiday. As a result, all holidays taken in term time will be unauthorised unless the absence is for 'exceptional circumstances'.
Parents are expected to provide explanations for their child/ren's absence. Please complete an Application for Leave of Absence Form to explain why your child will not be in school. If authorisation for this leave is not granted but the child is absent, or no authorisation is sought, or the period of leave is at a similar time of year to an unauthorised absence in a previous year, the absence will be recorded as unauthorised. As a result, a referral may be made to the Education Welfare Officer who may issue each parent with a Penalty Notice (fine) ranging from £60 to £120 for each parent for each child and could ultimately lead to prosecution resulting in a fine of £2,500 and a 3 month custodial sentence. For more information on Penalty Notices please see the Cambridgeshire County Council's website.
The Headteacher has discretion to grant leave of absence in exceptional circumstances. If you wish for the Headteacher to consider your wish for leave of absence as an 'exceptional circumstance', please complete the Application for Leave of Absence form and attach any supporting papers. The Headteacher will make a decision and return the form with his/her decision. If leave if granted, the Headteacher will specify how many days leave is being authorised. If leave is not granted then the absence will be recorded as unauthorised.
Please see the 'Policy' section of the school website to see the school's Attendance Policy and click here for the Leave of Absence Request form.

The Best Thing About Living in Switzerland
Posted by Rachel | 20:59 | Geneva, moving, Updates
Q: What's the Best Thing about living in Switzerland?
A: Well, the flag is a big plus.
The centre of Geneva is medieval. There's narrow streets and fountains everywhere with fresh, clean water, l'eau potable - the sort of fountains you can drink from.
We don't live in the city centre. A lot of newer buildings seem to be deliberately ugly, all green concrete and shutters like closed like frowns. Inside, there are beautiful spacious apartments, with high ceilings, and the communal stairs are often marble. Our new flat doesn't have marble stairs, but it has parquet flooring. Jesse said someone told him it's to do with the Protestant work ethic: not showing off on the outside, but still having nice things.
You can't see the lake or the mountains from apartment, but it's a short walk to the lake or the UN.
I have a CERN card, a Swiss bank account, and a whole pile of chocolate and cheese. I don't have a job yet.
"Being a housewife rules," I said at knitting group.
"Yes, I thought that at first, too," said someone who's lived in Geneva a year and a half.
"I miss having coworkers," said another.
"I've done a lot of knitting though," said the first person, encouragingly.
40% of Geneva's population is foreign, like me. All our friends are immigrants, though some have lived here for five years or more. More than one has said how hard it is to make lasting friendships in a city where no one stays. Most Swiss people don't bother with the expat crowd, who appear to work in banks, in the UN, at CERN, and then disappear just as suddenly. I wouldn't either.
"Guess what? I met a Swiss person at knitting group," I said to Jesse.
"Oh yeah? I work with a Swiss person," he said.
There are four official languages in Geneva - German, French, Italian and Romansh. Almost everyone seems to speak at least a little English. I am learning French.
I have missed so much, not knowing the language. The city feels very quiet, but it may be because the background hum of conversation is lost to me.
Mes voisins.

I was examining the chocolate section in Co-op, when a voice on the loudspeaker said, Attension, attension, and then a string of French I couldn't follow. I looked around, and no one was running: there were no more alarms. I looked carefully at another customer, who was looking carefully at me: we both shrugged and went back to shopping. He must not have much French either. An older woman spun towards me and grabbed my arm and said something. I followed her unhurriedly. A harried looking employee gestured for me to put down my basket and leave the store immediately.
Outside, the customers were milling about, though no one was speaking. The store employees marched further down the block. I wandered down the block to the ski store and bought ski poles. When I returned, Co-op was back to normal. My basket was where I left it, so I picked it up and finished shopping, new ski poles under my arm.
Nice day for it.

I am not worried about bomb threats, but I was a little worried about the politics: Swiss women didn't get the vote until 1971, and were not fully emancipated in every Canton until 1991. But following my husband for his work is the least feminist thing I've ever done, and now I've done it twice.
I feel more respected and seen here than I ever did in London. Bonsoir, say my neighbours, mes voisons, every evening. Bonsoir, merci, au revior. No one has sworn at me on public transport.
On weekends, we walk around the city. We get coffee from one of three places: Birdies (only okay - they use UTH milk, which is standard here - why?), the Boreal by the train station, or the Boreal by Stand. There is a third Boreal, but we haven't been there yet.
That is the best part of living in Geneva. Getting coffee, walking about, and talking of nothing. Making gentle plans - a coffee shop, a flea market. Knowing that at the end of it we can go home together, wherever that home may be.

Sporadic clashes as diminished Yellow Vest protests take place across France

Text by: RFI
Major Yellow Vest protests have been planned in the French cities of Nantes and Lyon on Saturday, as the movement seeks to rebuild momentum after last weekend’s record low turnout.
Updated 17:16, May 11th:
Yellow Vest protesters gathered in Paris and other French cities Saturday for the 26th straight week of rallies against President Emmanuel Macron, with scattered incidents of violence but overall a marked decline in the size of the crowds.
Several hundred people began marching near the Jussieu university in the centre of the capital, chosen to show solidarity with teachers who went on strike this week against an education reform project.
"It's going to be a day in support of parents, families and everyone in the education system," Jean-Christophe Valentin, a city hall worker at the rally, told AFP.
With protests outlawed on the Champs-Elysees and a large part of central Paris, organisers had called for "national" rallies in the cities of Lyon and Nantes.
Around 2,000 to 3,000 people turned out in both cities, accodring to estimates by the French news agency AFP, confirming the decline in attendance since the protests began in November, when it hit a high of 282,000 across France.
The interior ministry, for its part, estimated just 2,700 protesters had turned out across France as of 2:00 pm (1200 GMT), including 600 in Paris, compared with 3,600 counted at the same time last Saturday.
Tensions flared in Nantes when police charged a group of people throwing rocks and other objects, with at least one person evacuated by "street medics" among the protesters.
Officials had said they were expecting up to 500 far-left agitators in the city near France's western Atlantic coast, rekindling fears of fresh violence by so-called "black blocs".
In both Lyon and Nantes, police used tear gas to disperse crowds as some masked protesters attempted to build makeshift barricades.
The 26th consecutive weekend of demonstrations comes just two weeks before this month’s critical European parliamentary elections.
Yet nearly six months after the movement first began, support for the Yellow Vests appears to be dwindling. Last week’s demonstrations drew less than 19,000 people nationwide, according to the French Interior Ministry – a number that has been contested by protesters as too low.
Yellow Vests hope that by staging large rallies in other major cities, they will be attracting supporters who don’t have the time, resources or inclination to travel to Paris every weekend.
“There’s a sort of fatigue and fear because of the police violence. There is also a financial aspect: it’s expensive to protest in Paris … but (the movement) could take off again from nothing,” Thierry Boirivant, a 44-year-old accountant and self-avowed Yellow Vest, told AFP on a highway outside of Lyon.
Boirivant said that French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent concessions following a months-long “grand debate” on national policy – which was launched in response to the ongoing Yellow Vest protests – failed to address the movement’s demands. His views were shared by another protester, David L. (who did not give a last name), in Nantes.
“People are exhausted, they’re sick of it. Deep down, we want to stop, but we also want something powerful and concrete to happen before summer,” the 41-year-old told French news agency AFP.
Earlier this month, members of the Yellow Vest movement announced they were fielding a list in the upcoming European parliamentary elections on May 26. But it is expected to garner no more than 2 percent of the vote, according to a recent poll by Elabe for BFMTV.
In preparation for Saturday’s protest, police in Lyon have blocked off four additional shopping areas. Authorities in Nantes have limited access to the city’s centre.
Protests will still be held in Paris, where police have cordoned off the famous Champs-Élysées avenue, the National Assembly and the area surrounding Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Demonstrations have also been planned in the French cities of Lille, Dijon, Toulouse and Strasbourg.

Hotel Reviews and Trip Advisory
A Suite Heritage in San Francisco at Fairmont Heritage
Summer time in San Francisco doesn't come with a sweeter story than that of the waterfront luxury hotel Fairmont Heritage Palace.A world renowned Californian spot, The Fairmont San Francisco Hotel presents an awe-inspiring picture of historic San-Francisco. Think grand, luxurious and dipped in reputable history and you have an undoubtedly memorable experience guaranteed.
Centrally located, this luxury San Francisco hotel is a short cable car trip from the bustling Downtown, Financial District, Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf. In fact, The Fairmont San Francisco hotel is the only spot in San Francisco where each of the City's cable car lines meet.
Named after mining magnate and U.S. Senator James Graham Fair by his daughters Theresa and Virginia who built the hotel in his honour; not only is the hotel named after a great man but it also created a whole history after its own. Withstanding an earthquake, being featured in film, such as The Rock and TV shows like Hotel while completely maintain its authenticity, sense of place and architectural integrity – we’d say the Fairmont has done pretty good for itself.
Lose yourself in this ludicrously luxurious hotel and turn moments into memories. Check into Penthouse suite; Spanning the entire eighth floor of the historic Main Building of The Fairmont San Francisco boutique hotel, The Penthouse Suite offers 6,000 square feet of luxury. Created in the Roaring Twenties, this San Francisco Penthouse epitomizes the opulence and distinctive design of this singular time period.
Live it up like royalty or a rock star and bask in the idea of having lived in a space that President John F. Kennedy, Prince Charles and Mick Jagger, to mention but a few, would’ve called home. Featuring three large bedrooms, a living room with a grand piano, a formal dining room, a professional-grade kitchen, a two-story circular library crowned by a rotunda where a celestial map is rendered in gold leaf against a sapphire sky, a billiard room coved in handcrafted Persian tile from floor to vaulted ceiling, and an expansive terrace with sweeping views of San Francisco; we can’t say we don’t see why this wouldn’t make the absolute perfect living space.
Are you a food connoisseur? Yes, well for the days you’re feeling like going beyond your fabulous suite, visit the restaurants in Nob Hill; world-renowned for their amazing cuisine you have a multitude of choices. There’s the Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar which offers exotic Asian cuisine, along with the City's best Mai Tai, in the unforgettable setting of a tropical rainforest. Laurel Court Restaurant & Bar offers a true San Francisco fine dining experience featuring local ingredients and fresh seafood from San Francisco Bay, paired with one-of-a-kind wines from the area's top boutique wineries and local craft beers. Inspired by the cafes of Europe, Caffé Cento combines the coffee of illy with the chocolate of Ghirardelli and the hospitality of Fairmont.
As much as you may absolutely be in love with this luxurious hotel, delve out into the rest of the city and check out what else the beautiful San Francisco has on offer. From the ever famous Golden Gate Bridge to the Golden Gate Park, China Town and Alcatraz Island there’s plenty to see and do.

My objective in this installation piece is to portray the underlying contributions in Singapore since the post-colonial period to present, its transparent situation regarding Singapore foreign policy and why we are all Singaporean regardless of our place of birth and race. Singapore is after all a port island, a centre for trade in the Southeast Asia that predates 1800s till now.
Home has always been the theme of Singapore nationalistic patriotic slogan thus I want to recreate a home that houses the foreign workers especially those in the building and construction sector in a form of tent for its impermanence in purpose and temporary in built.
There are fine prints in the law governing the pitching of tents in public areas and those who wish to do so has to pitch at only authorized tentage areas like those near the eastern coastal line. In my work, my ultimate aim is highlighting the harsh nature of this temporary shelter for the builders of our Home

Scaling Land Based Social Enterprises
We were funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation to look at how a range of a UK based social innovations had scaled-up, and what lessons land based social enterprises could learn.
Having an opportunity to expand what you do is always exciting, but as well as posing operational and financial risks, taking an opportunity to grow can challenge your goals, values or motivations.
We undertook research to identify five contrasting social innovations that had scaled up in order to understand what had worked, what had not, and the different ways in scaling up can impact on an organisation or an emerging social enterprise sector.
We identified five key tensions that social sector organisations need to navigate when making decisions about scaling up, and created a toolkit to help them make better decisions about scaling.
We produced three publications to help groups that are considering scaling up:
A set of short case studies outlining the challenges and successes faced by five social innovations
A set of thought guides outlining the tensions faced by social sector organisations when making decisions about scaling up
A group decision making toolkit to help groups make better decisions about scaling
We run training sessions, workshops and webinars to support others to use these resources.
“The case-studies and thought-guides look really brilliant. It’s also very exciting that you already have so much interest in testing it from organisations ... I’ve been delighted to work with you” - Project Officer, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.

Category: Juniper Communities
Senior Housing News: Is traveling to a doctor’s appointment a thing of the past? When it comes to all in one senior living, one senior housing operator seems to think so.
Through an innovative partnership, the company has primary care providers – specifically trained to care for senior living residents (all in one senior living) – keeping regular office hours at its communities’ on-site clinics, cutting transportation arrangements and other hassles out of the picture entirely.
Bloomfield, New Jersey-based Juniper Communities operates 18 long-term care communities in New Jersey, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Florida. The provider recently partnered with Redwood Health Partners, an on-site primary care provider that solely operates within assisted and senior living residences, skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers, and special-purpose memory care communities. Juniper previously piloted its first on-site Redwood Health Partners clinic at Juniper Village-The Spearly Center in Denver in December 2013.
The partnership between Juniper and Redwood was forged in part because Juniper recognized the permanence of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Juniper CEO Lynne Katzmann told Senior Housing News.
“We’re one of the few providers that’s really said, okay, the ACA is here to stay,” Katzmann said. When the ACA began, Juniper started to look seriously at care transitions and realized that the primary care doctor “is really critical” for preventing readmissions to hospitals.
“Having primary care on-site made sense,” Katzmann said.
Juniper Village at Aurora
Redwood Health Partners, like Juniper, is based in Bloomfield, and was willing to be part of Juniper’s communication protocols—that is, it was willing to use Juniper’s existing electronic health record.
This agreement enables Redwood physicians to provide cohesive, quality care, because they can both enter their own notes into residents’ EHRs and see notes from staff and additional ancillary providers, Katzmann told SHN. Redwood practitioners will also take part in Juniper’s care planning process.
To Katzmann’s knowledge, no other senior housing providers in Juniper’s markets are offering similar health care services.
“We’ve become known as an innovator,” Katzmann said.
Boosting Life Expectancy, Boosting Profit
Standing out from the competition has benefitted Juniper Communities’ bottom line, plain and simple.
Offering primary care on-site in a residential care setting has been proven to reduce hospital readmissions, as well as extend life expectancy, Katzmann told SHN. Longer life expectancy translates into longer length of stay—which, in turn, translates into more profit.
“The integrated model really works,” Katzmann explained. Juniper’s readmission rate in the second quarter of 2015 across 18 buildings was only 2%.
Partnering with Redwood is part of Juniper’s larger Connect 4 Life strategy, which is intended to make Juniper a preferred provider with accountable care organizations and hospital discharge planners, Katzmann said. The low readmission rate makes Juniper especially attractive, given that under ACA policies, hospitals face Medicare penalties if too many patients return soon after discharge.
“A referral source sees us as a place to send people,” she added.
Plus, the return on investment potential involved in such partnerships is enormous, especially when the services are Medicare-billed, like they are at Juniper.
“It’s effectively no cost to the facility, and more convenient for the facility and for the residents,” Katzmann told SHN. “It’s simple, it’s easy, and it doesn’t cost a provider anything.”
Looking ahead, Juniper has big plans for its Redwood partnership.
At present, Redwood Health Partners provides services in five Juniper Village communities: two in New Jersey and three in Colorado. This month, two communities in Pennsylvania are scheduled to begin participating in the Redwood partnership, according to a company blog post.
All Juniper communities are anticipated to have all-in-one Senior Living Redwood clinics by early 2016, Cindy Longfellow, national director of sales and marketing for Juniper Communities, said in the same post.
Although residents are legally free to choose their own doctor, right now, in some communities, 96% of residents use Redwood primary care physicians. The goal, Katzmann told SHN, is to eventually have this number reach 80% across all Juniper communities.
The families of Juniper residents, as well as Juniper employees, are also free to join Redwood as “members” and use Redwood for their primary care needs, further extending the benefits of a program that already seems to be paying off in myriad ways.

integrated primary care
Juniper Communities
onsite healthcare
Bloomfield, NJ – In a bold strategic move, Juniper Communities has signed on with Redwood Health Partners to provide onsite healthcare to its residents. By providing patient-centered care in its senior living communities – Juniper Villages – residents will experience a dramatic improvement in the healthcare delivery method. No more waiting for appointments, making transportation arrangements, or lack of communication among the residents’ healthcare providers.
“Integrated primary care, provided on-site, benefits our residents and their families in many ways – ease of communication, convenience, coordination of care, and much more. It allows residents to feel more in control of their care and more involved in care decisions,” stated Lynne Katzmann, founder and CEO of Juniper Communities.
In addition to resident care, Juniper Communities residents’ families and employees can also become a Redwood ‘member’. “Delivery of service in a convenient, accessible location will improve outcomes and increase quality of life for each member” says Cindy Longfellow, national director of sales and marketing for Juniper Communities. “We look forward to developing this partnership further, and extend it to all of our communities by early 2016.”
Currently, Redwood can be found in the following Juniper Village communities: Aurora, Louisville and the Spearly Center in Colorado; Chatham and Williamstown Village and Wellspring in New Jersey. Lebanon and Mount Joy in Pennsylvania will be the next communities to benefit from the Redwood partnership. Redwood Health Partners will be serving patients there beginning in November.

They will use our electronic health record and will participate in care plan development and care conferences.

Battleground Indiana: Religious freedom vs. gay rights
By Matt C. Abbott
(An abbreviated version of this column originally appeared at the American Thinker blog.)
Not surprisingly, the left is throwing an absolute hissy fit over Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signing into law the state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act. But for God-fearing and reasonable people, the law makes sense.
From The Daily Signal:
By passing its Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Indiana joins the 19 other states that have implemented such laws. Eleven additional states have religious liberty protections that state courts have interpreted to provide a similar level of protection. These commonsense laws place the onus on the government to justify its actions in burdening the free exercise of religion....
There are now numerous cases of photographers, florists, cake makers and farmers being forced to participate in celebrating same-sex weddings in violation of their belief that marriage is the union of a man and a woman. These are citizens who have no problem serving gays and lesbians but do object to celebrating same-sex weddings.
Religious liberty isn't an absolute right.... But it isn't clear that forcing every photographer and every baker and every florist to help celebrate same-sex weddings is advancing a compelling state interest in the least-restrictive way possible. Protecting religious liberty and the rights of conscience doesn't infringe on anyone's sexual freedoms.
Also, while not politically correct to assert, there are indeed instances where it's just to discriminate (in a charitable manner, of course) against those who identify as gay and lesbian – particularly in regard to same-sex "marriage."
To quote Father John Trigilio Jr. from a past column of mine:
Never deny, seldom affirm, always distinguish. This mediaeval axiom was well known and employed by the Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas. We need to use that same sound reasoning today. The natural moral law, as well as civil law (human positive law), makes a distinction in qualifying unjust discrimination from discrimination in general. Discriminate is defined in the dictionary as a verb from the Latin word discriminare, to differentiate; to make a distinction; to discern differences.
Unjust discrimination is the denial of fair treatment in a situation where a decision should be based on personal merit or need, or is a denial of a human right. Hence, as a consumer, I can go to any merchant of my choice and either pay the price they request, or I'm free to not buy from them. I discriminate between stores and merchants. It is neither unfair nor unjust to avoid certain stores since it is my right to shop where I want. I may like the prices or the location or the customer service of one store over another. That is making a discriminating choice. It is neither immoral nor unjust, and it is not illegal.
When I'm in a store and choose to go to one sales clerk over another, it may be based on the number of people in the clerk's line, the clerk's efficiency or even just his or her smile or professional look. If someone avoids a clerk or store owner purely based on his or her race – that would be unjust discrimination. It is immoral and sinful. If, however, I refuse to patronize a store or business that supports abortion by contributing to Planned Parenthood, that is considered moral discrimination. I choose not to do business with someone who openly subsidizes or supports something evil or immoral.
Marriage is a natural institution. It predates the church and the state. Neither one can redefine it. It is therefore not unjust discrimination to boycott or refuse commercial business in a situation that openly defies my moral and religious principles. Marriage is between one man and one woman. The florist, caterer, wedding coordinator and photographer have no moral obligation to participate in a ceremony or occasion that openly and publicly contradicts their religious and moral values.
If a customer purchases flowers, it is irrelevant if he or she has a homosexual or heterosexual orientation. Providing flowers for a gay wedding, however, is a public statement. Likewise, a merchant would be in his or her right to refuse to be a part of a polygamous or incestuous marriage even if either were allowed by civil law. Morally speaking, the state cannot change the essence or substance of marriage and allow same-sex weddings any more than it can allow multiple spouses or a brother and sister or parent and child to marry. If any government would allow such, merchants would have the moral right to refuse service and thus avoid violating their conscience. Unjust discrimination is when a merchant refuses to do business with a customer because of his or her race, gender or religion.
The context is as important as the subjects involved. There are neither homosexual nor heterosexual human beings. There are human beings. Human beings are persons and persons have human and civil rights. Some human beings have a homosexual orientation or inclination [due to the effects of original sin], while most human beings have a heterosexual orientation. Any and all sexual activity outside of marriage is immoral and sinful. Hence, fornication is the sin of unmarried people of any orientation having sex with each other. It used to be that hotel and motel owners could and were expected to refuse to rent a single room to an unmarried couple. They could not refuse a couple because they were African-American or Latino, but if the couple were not husband and wife, they were allowed to demand separate accommodations. That was ethical and permissible discrimination.
The church has no authority to redefine matrimony or holy orders – or any sacrament, for that matter. It does discriminate by divine law that only one man and one woman may marry, and only baptized males can be ordained. In neither case is it unjust discrimination. Laity do not lose their religious liberty or freedom in the market place, either. Anyone opposed to same-sex marriages is not being unjust or immoral, for they are merely following their religious and moral conscience. Is not a dress code in a restaurant and other public places a form of discrimination? Yes, but it is fair and just.
If the state does as it has in the past with legalizing abortion, there will be those who wish to do what the law allows. Any and all citizens are free to refuse to do what is legal if it simultaneously violates the natural moral law and/or the divine positive law of God. That elderly florist may be obliged to sell a bouquet of flowers to any customer, gay or straight, but she is not obliged to give public approval and support to gay weddings if it violates her moral and religious values/principles.
What needs to be avoided are the hateful, nasty, and pejorative epithets on either side of the issue. Denial can be done with respect and discretion, and must be done with charity. Obviously, some businesses have no option. Medical treatment, food, clothing and shelter are basic human needs, and every human being, regardless of sexual orientation, must be given access to what is needed.
We are not discussing pharmacies, hospitals and restaurants, but a purely discretional expense: flowers. Non-essential businesses have a right to abstain from certain transactions that would violate the moral and religious tenets of the owner. This can be done properly, politely and prudently.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches (no. 2358):
The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

FULL WEEK BOX OFFICE ACTUALS and YEAR TO DATE May 21-27
Tags: Actuals, avengers, battleship, best exotic marigold hotel, box office, Boxoffice, chernobyl diaries, dark shadows, dictator, full week, marvel, men in black, year to date
Now 21 full weeks into 2012, year-to-date domestic box office is running 15% ahead of last year’s pace. Just two weeks ago, box office was running 21% ahead of 2011. The past week was off a stunning 32% from the same week last year when The Hangover Part II grossed $118 million (Thursday-Sunday, May 26-29), Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides grossed $63 million (Monday-Sunday, May 23-29), Kung Fu Panda 2 grossed $53 million (Thursday-Sunday, May 26-29) and Bridesmaids grossed $26 million (Monday-Sunday, May 23-29). In contrast, this past week the top four films were not even close: Marvel’s The Avengers grossed $56 million (Monday-Sunday, May 21-27), MIB3 grossed $55 million (Friday-Sunday, May 25-27), Battleship grossed $19 million (Monday-Sunday, May 21-27) and The Dictator grossed just under $17 million (Monday-Sunday, May 21-27).
The Past Week: Total Box Office Volume
All films in wide release playing between May 21 and May 27 grossed $205 million, down 32% from the same week in 2011 and down 17% from the four-year average for the comparable week. Year to date, 2012 is now running 15% ahead of 2011 (down from +21% just two weeks ago) and 13% ahead of the average for the same period the last four years (down from +17% two weeks ago).
Domestic Box Office Volume: All Wide-Release Films through May 27, 2012 ($ millions)
2011 4-year Average 2012 vs 2011 vs 4yr Avg
Week #21 $300 $247 $205 -32% -17%
Year to Date $3,474 $3,541 $3,991 +15% +13%
Weekend Actuals versus Studio Estimates
The studio estimates were mostly accurate this weekend. Men in Black 3 opened with $54.593 million for the Friday-Sunday weekend in the actual tallies, 0.7% below the $55.000 million estimate issued Sunday morning (based on Friday and Saturday’s actual numbers). Marvel’s The Avengers came in with $36.687 million in its fourth weekend, 0.8% below the $36.987 million studio estimate, while Battleship was 2.3% above ($11.050 million actual versus $10.800 million studio estimate).
Updated Estimates of Final Grosses
The ShowbuzzDaily Domestic Grosses (the estimated North American gross when the film ends its run) are summarized below for films released the last six weeks. Pay attention to the final domestic grosses, which are much more important than individual weekend grosses and especially weekend rankings.

Simpson’s Paradox – Is you data tricking you?
By Shawn Dexter / March 21, 2017
This weekend, I was helping a friend with his startup. He was really frustrated - after making a few adjustments based on the data he collected - his profits seemed to have gone down instead of up.
Since he "followed the data", he was convinced that he made the right decision. He asked me to help him figure out what went wrong.
"His data was LYING to him"
Turns out... his data was literally "lying" to him. This wasn't a case of "garbage in = garbage out", but one of those rare/tricky incidents where your data can actually trick you into making the opposite decision.
Data, data, data... We’re increasingly becoming a society obsessed with data! Important decision-making meetings will often parrot the phrase “Well...What does the data say”. Being “data-informed” is all well and good. But using it at face value to drive decision making can be rather dangerous. In this post, we will discuss one of the ways data can trick you into making the wrong decision - The Simpson's Paradox
The Simpson's Paradox
This Article is Illustrated in an Animated Video for better understanding
In 1973 UC Berkeley was sued for sex-discrimination. It turned out of all the female students who applied - only 35% of them were admitted. While out all the male students who applied 44% of them were admitted.
UC Berkeley Applicants
The data raised a lot of eyebrows. And the witch-hunt was on! UC Berkeley set out to find the main culprits of this gender discrimination. To do this they broke open the data to see which departments were mainly responsible for this GENDER BIAS --- And here is what they found:
UC Berkeley Group Data
Now this is where the data gets funny. After breaking open the data, we see a different story. Out of the 6 departments 4 of the departments accepted women more than men. There definitely was a gender bias - but it was in favour FOR the women. Not against!
But that begs the question? Why did the aggregated data tell a different story?
This is a classic case of the Simpson’s Paradox - when grouped-up data tells the opposite story of the ungrouped data. This happens because of a confounding-factor that is hidden from sight WITHIN the data. So what's this "hidden factor" that's causing all the mischief? Take a look at the first and the last rows of the table:
UC Berkeley Group A & F
You’ll notice that Department A has a pretty high acceptance rate - especially for women at 82%! However, out the 4000+ women only a 108 of them applied to this department. That’s only 2% of all women who applied across departments.
On the other hand, 825 of the men applied to Department A. That’s 10% of all the male applicants. You may have already spotted the mischief. But let’s go on. Take a look at the last row. Again, the women have a higher acceptance rate than the men. But over here - Department F, in contrast to Department A, has a very LOW acceptance rate.
And this is where it goes wrong - Compareed to the men, a much larger portion of the women applied to this low-acceptance department. Around 4% of all the men applied here. While 8% of all the women applied to Department F.
So in truth, women weren’t being discriminated against. It just so happened that a large proportion of them were applying to a low-acceptance rate department while a large proportion of men were applying to high-acceptance rate department. That skewed the overall results. This sort of data mischief - The Simpsons Paradox - can happen everywhere. Even in businesses who use data to make decisions.
Here’s a business-case example. A CEO and his team were deliberating whether to use a One-Click advertisement campaign or Two-Click campaign. That’s when the marketing manager - who happened to support the Two-Click campaign showed him some data:
Aggregated Data (Single & Double Click)
Single Click had more users allocated to it, and thus more revenue - but the RPM (revenue per thousand users) is higher for double click. When you look at the data - the decision is obvious. Double Click is generating more money per user - so they should go with double click, correct?
Turns out, picking the Double-Click campaign would have been a costly mistake. Let’s break open the data again - into its subgroups of International users and Local users:
Local Users SubGroup
International Users SubGroup
Suddenly, the data tells a different story. Single click is outperforming Double-Click in both subgroups - Local AND International? How is this possible?
Simpson’s Paradox at play again. The grouped up data has a hidden factor that tells the opposite story of the ungrouped data.
In this case, the hidden factor was that only 33% of international users were shown the double-click page, while only 58% of the local users were shown the double-click page. And in general the local users had a much higher RPM than international users. So the local users who had a much higher proportion of double click users and a higher RPM skewed the overall data.
Simpson’s Paradox can be tricky - the key is to look out for any hidden variables that may be influencing your data!
Don’t rely too much on your data. If something smells fishy - look into it. Do not trust your data blindly.

Album Review: Jarvhitz – IDEAL
Categories: Music Reviews
I’m back family with my latest music review. This time I’m taking a trip to Southwest Ohio. I’m going to dig into the album called “IDEAL” by Cincinnati’s own Jarvhitz. This is a 14 track album with two bonus joints. Out of 5 stars I give this album 4 stars. And during this review I will explain why. Jarvhitz in my opinion is the dopest MC coming out of the Queen City right now.
So let’s look at a few songs from this really solid body of work. The opening track is a song that was leaked a few months ago. It’s called “Walk This Way”. This joint is the perfect opening track. It’s a very dark beat with great bars laced over it. Jarvhitz raps with a chip on his shoulder on this song. And you can feel the hunger in his voice on this joint. One of the best songs on the album by far. The next track I want to get into is called “Brand Name” which is track 4. This song takes you on a ride through the streets of the Nasty Nati. After listening to this song you have been schooled in all things Cincinnati. Track 6 is another standout joint on this album called “RAW” and raw it is. The production on this joint is crazy. Jarvhitz bodies both verses on this joint. This could easily be a radio joint. Let’s hope someone at WIZF in the Nati gets this joint some airplay.
I will take a look at a few more songs before I close out this review. Number 11 on the album is called “Is This Really What You Want”. This song is the one that made me say this guy is that deal. He shows his story telling skills on this one. Verse two he draws a vivid picture of a young sista who finds herself pregnant and doesn’t know who the father is. And by the end of the verse she finds herself alone having a baby on her kitchen floor. A very powerful and relevant song. “WTF” is track 14 and a very mellow joint and Jarvhitz rides the beat like none other. This is the type of joint you roll to with your windows down on a nice summer day. This song is the definition of “Feel Good Music”. The last song I will look at is the very last song on the album “Watch Out”. This one is for the wannabe street cats. If you don’t know the streets then don’t be out there playing like you do. He does a masterful job at painting a great picture. And driving his message home to the fake street cat.
I know you as the reader my say. Why in the world did the album only get 4 stars? When you had nothing but great things to say about Jarvhtiz and his album. Well one of the only negative things I have to say about the album is it’s features. Why they aren’t horrible. In my eyes they don’t match the intensity and lyrical ability of Jarvhitz. This to me took away from the whole body of work. If the features had been just as strong then the overall rating would have been easily higher. But none the less this is a really dope album. So please go out and support the dopest MC from the NATI the homie “JARVHITZ”. Also be on the lookout for the interview with Jarvhitz. As myself and DJ Daddy Raw welcome him to our review show called “The Listening” on http://www.smashmouthfm/. I hope you enjoyed this review. PEACE & BLESSINGS Dealow Morgan aka “Brotha Insight”……

Assumption Parish hosts annual recertification for teams
NAPOLEONVILLE — Denali, a cadaver-searching dog from Maine, paced back and forth on a small, slow-moving Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office flatboat and sniffed for the scent of putrid flesh.
The black Labrador retriever mouthed a little water from cypress-lined Bayou Crab, which flows into Lake Verret, to pick up the faint smell of death.
When the scent of a small, hidden piece of a real human body was close by, Denali barked in the direction of a specific spot in the water, paw at the water and, once, even partially jumped in.
“She’s just a natural,” handler and partner Katherine Heselton beamed.
Denali and Heselton, who works as a dog handler for the private Merrill’s Investigations and Security of Readfield, Maine, were training Wednesday for their annual certification through Law Enforcement Training Specialists International Inc.
LETS, of Powder Springs, Ga., has been conducting the five-day training and certification session in Napoleonville. It wraps up today.
Sgt. Joe Young, a LETS trainer and former canine handler for the Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office, and Sheriff’s Deputy Mark Matranga said 21 teams from across the nation were able to chose certification classes in one of three categories: narcotics, tracking or searching for cadavers.
For a second year, the Sheriff’s Office has sponsored LETS certification due to Young’s and Matranga’s longtime connection to the nonprofit group and its founder, Billy Smith, an instructor with the Laredo, Texas, Job Corps.
The training was as much about seeing how the dogs perform as it was about the relationship between dog and handler.
Lillian Hardy, of Edinburgh, Ind., and her Belgian Malinois practiced Wednesday in a land-based cadaver exercise.
Hardy, search-and-rescue training manager for the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, and 2-year-old Drake traced a circular path outlined by 12 evenly spaced plastic pipes in the ground.
Drake, whom Hardy rescued from a shelter, zipped through the course and identified the two pipes holding human remains.
After each identified pipe, Hardy gave the young dog the appropriate petting and love, as well as the expected chew toy.
“They’re working for the praise of their handler and that toy,” Young said. “That’s the paycheck.”

Data Driven Turbulence Modelling
The Fifth Estate 9 months ago 7 min read
This a retrieved form of the original article from the series, ‘A Spotlight on Undergraduate Research’.
Edited by Niharika Gunturu.
From being computed by biological neurons to being simulated by software to running on artificial neurons, Computational Fluid Dynamics has come full circle.
Aravinth C K, a 5th-year Dual Degree student from the Department of Aerospace Engineering, gives us a glimpse into his Dual Degree Project – in which he uses the confluence of ML tools and standard Computational Fluid Dynamics to predict and correct the simulations of turbulence and turbulent flows.
‘We actually study rocket science’ is a brag you keep hearing from countless Aerospace engineering graduates and a joke that never seems to get old. I would be lying to you if I say that I do not belong to this group of people trying to glorify their aerospace degree. But I must confess that the research that I am currently pursuing as a part of the curriculum mandated dual-degree project does not necessarily fall under the classification of rocket science. Nonetheless, it is still very exciting for me to work on it and I find it unique.
My work revolves around a word that most of us who have travelled in aeroplanes would have surely come across at some point in their journey. Have you ever experienced the occasional disturbance when you are travelling in an aeroplane? It surely sends a chill down the spine to hear the pilot requesting us to fasten our seat-belts almost instantaneously as a response to such a disturbance. Most often than not the pilot coins the term ‘turbulence’ to explain the reason for the discomfort experienced. My work is pretty much concerned with this very term – turbulence. I deal with the modelling of turbulent flows with the help of simulations accelerated by data-driven techniques. I did not have a clue what the word turbulence meant then, before a formal engineering education, and do not completely understand what it means now, even after me spending several months working on this field. This sentiment is quite common among researchers working in this field. Turbulence stays as an unresolved problem in physics even after several decades of dedicated research in this area.
Laminar and Turbulent flows are the two regimes in fluid flows, the first one corresponds to streamlined motion, and the other corresponds to chaotic motion. Just like anything else in science, these flows are also governed by a set of equations. In fact, it is the very same conservation equations in fluid mechanics and specifically the Navier-Stokes equation that helps us study such flows. My research entails the examination of such flows in very rudimentary geometries, like inside that of a channel [Figure 1], a flow which happens to be one of the most extensively investigated in fluid mechanics. Conducting simulations for such geometries and collecting relevant data that could be used later is the bulk of my research focus. In addition to this, I employ tools from Machine Learning to come up with rectified and revised interpretations to these simulations with an intention to make these solutions as closely-matched to the actual truth as possible.
Figure 1: Mean velocity field variation inside a channel flow investigated using RANS simulations.
Machine learning (ML) which forms an integral part of my work is the buzzword these days. The craze for ML stems from its application-oriented nature and ability to provide with endless capabilities to its user. It has found its way in a multitude of applications and research areas, be it from text translations and face recognition in our hand-held mobile devices, to proposing a solution to treat trauma affected patients through past knowledge and experience (basically past data). It is only natural that the implementations from ML got incorporated in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) too.
It is quite intriguing to note that the first papers and articles relating to ML trace back to as early as the 1950 – 60s and yet it is only recently that it has become such an attractive field in science and engineering. It has been taking ginormous strides in enriching the lives of people in the last couple of decades. What took ML so long to attain the popularity that it sees today? What could have possibly changed from the past that helped ML flourish the way it has done today? According to me, the reasons are two-fold – the much-improved processing powers, and the ability to generate large amounts of data and store it compactly.
It is estimated that there has been a trillion-fold increase in computational performance over the last five decades. The reality that the best Apollo (space missions by the US to land a human on the moon) era computers performed instructions hundreds of million times slower than the modern smartphones gives us a feel for the increase in numbers. Moreover, the command module computer used by the astronauts to control the spacecraft during the lunar missions possessed the processing power equivalent to a pair of Nintendo consoles. Such comparisons from two different generations may not always be appropriate and meaningful, but they do provide us with an idea of the technological advancements that we have experienced.
Coming back to my project, my research itself is thoroughly inter-disciplinary in its approach as it requires the integration of knowledge and ideas from both CFD and Machine learning. You might be wondering how one could use ML in an engineering problem pertaining to turbulent flow simulations. Just a glimpse into my research work would give you a much better idea of how this was achieved. The basic idea is to consider two simulation techniques, one far superior and inordinately expensive called as the Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS), when compared to the other more generally known as Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes or RANS models. Collect data for the quantity under investigation from both models and then predict the same by staring from the inferior technique, after having learned from the superior technique.
The two-equation k-Ɛ model, a modelling paradigm that falls under the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) category, was one of the techniques considered for simulations. As the name suggests, RANS involve time-averaging and the solutions obtained describe the mean flow characteristics such as the mean velocity field. RANS is most commonly used for engineering design purposes. They suffer from the closure problem, incapacitating its ability to solve the problem in hand, hence requiring modelling with assumptions. They can give notoriously unreliable solutions.
On the other hand, Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) can provide complete information about the flow, that too unaffected by any assumptions, unlike the RANS model. It is an excellent tool for conducting research but comes at a very high computational price (several months on the fastest supercomputers available to us), thereby rendering it infeasible as a general-purpose design tool. For this project, RANS simulations were run on OpenFOAM whereas the DNS solutions were taken from available literature.
After the collection of the data from both RANS and DNS simulations, the two were linked through a deep neural network architecture [Figure 2]. The neural network is used to estimate a parameter in the RANS case that suffers from the assumptions made. The network was trained with velocity gradients obtained from RANS model as inputs while keeping DNS solutions as the ground truth. By incorporating ML in the CFD problem, we were able to build a time-efficient alternative by potentially building a bridge between RANS, a commercially used model and DNS. This also means that we get a thorough understanding of the flow at a much lower computational expense. This project, inspired by the works previously done in this field[1][2], rightly exploits the vast amount of data available that is already available to us from experiments and simulations. However, the robustness of such ML assisted flow modelling should not be overlooked as there are still questions over its potential to predict equally good results for new flows unknown to the neural network model.

Through this research, I was able to pursue my passion for working on a project involving multi-disciplinary learning. I believe that traditional boundaries between disciplines is obsolete in this day and age and may be counter-productive in achieving innovative solutions.
With just a little under a semester to go, I am very excited to continue my research, and in the process, I intend to add value to the research community.

Late-onset schizophrenia: is it a dementia nonpraecox? Review article with advice on differential diagnosis
C.J. Kerssens, Y.A.L. Pijnenburg, S. Schouws, P. Eikelenboom, W. van Tilburg
background For many years now researchers have been discussing whether late-onset schizophrenia (los) is in fact a separate subgroup of schizophrenia. They also want to find out whether los has a neurodegenerative aetiology and is a progressive illness.
aim To obtain insight into the clinical aspects, aetiological factors and the course of late-onset schizophrenia. In addition, advice is given about better ways of diagnosing los in clinical practice and about differentiating los from dementia.
method The literature was searched via Medline and the Cochrane Library on the basis of the key words '(very) late-onset schizophrenia' and 'paraphrenia' combined with 'course', 'outcome', 'cognition', 'decline', 'white matter hyperintensities', 'mri', and 'neuropsychological', 'postmortem' and cerebrospinal fluid'. The period studied was from 1960 to November 2004.
results Clinical parameters and functional and structural brain research point to differences from and similarities to the early form of schizophrenia (eos). In cases of 'very-late-onset schizophrenia-like psychosis' (vlos) the clinical differences vis-à-vis eos are even more marked. It is not known to what extent neurodegenerative factors play a role. There is no clear consensus about the course of (v)los either.
conclusion In view of the aetiologial and physiopathological factors it is still not clear whether (v)los can be differentiated from eos on a neurobiological basis. There is insufficient proof about the extent to which (v)los is a dementia nonpraecox with neurodegenerative aetiology. To achieve clear differentiation between the various forms of dementia it is essential that the clinical diagnosis of los is supported as strongly as possible and is evaluated continually.

Hornets fall to Liberty in OT, 66-63
Hornets fall to Liberty in OT, 66-63.
By: Ed Weaver | WellsboroAthletics.com | December 19, 2019
For 32 minutes Wellsboro and North Penn-Liberty battled back and forth, but at the end of regulation both teams were tied at 55. Four extra minutes were needed to decide the game, as the visiting Mounties held off the Hornets, 66-63 on Wednesday, December 18.
The win was the Mounties first over Wellsboro since the 2006-07 season, a span of 20 games.
"It was a little intense. It wasn't the game we were looking for, a little sloppy in the beginning, but a great battle by both teams," said Liberty head coach Brian Litzelman. "I think both teams played with their heart out here tonight, not a great 'chemistry' game but there was a lot of heart on both sides."
The entire game was even between both teams. Liberty held a slim 13-9 lead after the opening quarter. Wellsboro went on to outscore Liberty 11-7 in the second to tie the game up at 20-all at halftime. Liberty again outscored Wellsboro 16-14 in the third quarter to hold a 36-34 lead heading into the final frame.
The action heated up in the last 8 minutes of regulation. The Hornets went on an early run to regain the lead then held it down the stretch until under the three minute mark. At that point, Noah Spencer started taking over. With just 6 points over the first three quarters, Spencer scored 14 of his 26 points to start pulling Liberty back in it. Wellsboro held a 48-45 lead just under the three minute mark but Liberty kept chipping away to cut it to a point with 18.4 seconds remaining.
A pair of foul shots by junior Joseph Grab put Wellsboro back up three points until Spencer made his biggest shot of the night, a three-pointer from the top of the key, to tie the game up at 55-all to send the game to overtime.
Just as in regulation the overtime period was back and forth, only this time, fouls came into play. Both teams scored a majority of their points from the foul line during the final 4 minutes. With just over 90 seconds remaining the Mounties held a 59-56 lead until a pair of foul shots by sophomore Darryn Callahan cut the lead to 59-58. Liberty extended their lead back up to three on their next trip down the court, but again the Hornets cut the lead back to one, this time on a runner by senior Ty Morral.
On Liberty's next trip down the court Spencer was fouled and made a pair of foul shots to extend the lead back to 63-60, then extended it to five points on a bucket by Brandon Thompson after he blocked a shot attempt during Wellsboro's possession. With 13.2 seconds remaining sophomore Isaac Keane drained a three to cut the lead back to two points, 65-63. Spencer was again fouled, and hit 1-of-2 shots, on the Mounties' ensuing possession pushing the lead back to 66-63.
Wellsboro had a shot to tie the game up but it came up short.
"It was a good basketball game but not the outcome we wanted," head coach Steve Adams said. "The kids fought hard, there are some things we have to take away from this game: we need to run our offense crisper when we have a lead, we have to limit teams to one shot when we have the lead, and we need to knock down shots at the end to win. We were in a position to win and tonight we didn't come out on top. Give the kids credit, they gave a great effort."
Spencer finished with 26 to lead North Penn-Liberty on the night while Colton Litzelman and Thompson both added 10 points each. Samuel Shedden also added 8 points.
Grab led the Hornets with 26 points. Keane and sophomore Liam Manning scored 11 points each, and Callahan had 7 points. Manning also grabbed 8 rebounds, Keane had 7 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 assists, and Grab and Callahan each added 5 rebounds.
North Penn-Liberty also won the JV game, 33-28. Sophomore Ryan Sweet led Wellsboro with 9 points and freshman Peyton McClure added 8.
The win improves the Mounties' record to 4-1 (2-1 NTL Small School Division) while Wellsboro falls to 3-2 (2-1 NTL Large School Division). Both teams are back in action on Friday, December 20 with Liberty hosting Troy and Wellsboro traveling to Canton.

5 Most Remote Places In Human Civilization
January 13, 2016 Videoskick
1-Mêdog County, China
Is a county of the Nyingtri Prefecture in the Tibet Autonomous Region of People’s Republic of China. Chinese claims include parts of Arunachal Pradesh, south of the McMahon Line, what was casus belli for the 1962 Sino-Indian War.
Medog has a favourable climate caused by the relatively low elevations in parts of the county (down to just 600 m above sea level in the Yarlung Zangbo river valley)
The area is lush and covered with trees and includes the Medog National Animal and Plant Reserve Area. It has more than 3,000 species of plants, 42 species of rare animals under special state protection, and over a thousand hexapod species.
Mêdog used to be the last county without a permanent road access in China, due to the landscape of being surrounded by several high-elevation mountain ranges. A first, simple road was built in 1970s, nevertheless it was usually blocked by ice and snow on the mountains in the winter, made it only a seasonal access. In December 2010, the Chinese government announced a project of renovating the road into a permanent highway from Bomê to Mêdog County,[2] including excavation of a new tunnel under the mountain range. The renovation was completed in 2013.
2-Alert, Canada
Alert, in the Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada, is the northernmost permanently inhabited place in the world, 817 kilometres (508 mi) from the North Pole.Its permanent population was reported as zero in the 2011 census, but military and scientific personnel on rotation were present. It takes its name from HMS Alert, which wintered 10 km (6.2 mi) east of the present station, off what is now Cape Sheridan,
Alert has many temporary inhabitants as it hosts a military signals intelligenceradio receiving facility at Canadian Forces Station Alert (CFS Alert), as well as a co-located Environment Canada weather station, a Global Atmosphere Watch(GAW) atmosphere monitoring laboratory, and the Alert Airport. Shortly after the end of World War II, Charles J. Hubbard began to rouse interest in the United States and Canada for the establishment of a network ofArctic stations. His plan, in broad perspective, envisaged the establishment of two main stations, one in Greenland and the other within the Archipelago, which could be reached by sea supply. These main stations would then serve as advance bases from which a number of smaller stations would be established by air.
3-Tristan da Cunha
Tristan da Cunha colloquially Tristan, is both a remote group of volcanic islands in the south Atlantic Ocean and the main island of that group. It is the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world, lying 2,000 kilometres from the nearest inhabited land, Saint Helena, 2,400 kilometres from the nearest continental land, South Africa, and 3,360 kilometres from South America. The territory consists of the main island, also named Tristan da Cunha, which has a north–south length of 11.27 kilometres and has an area of 98 square kilometres, along with the smaller, uninhabited Nightingale Islands and the wildlife reserves of Inaccessibleand Gough Islands.Tristan da Cunha is part of the British overseas territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. This includes Saint Helena and equatorialAscension Island some 3,730 kilometres to the north of Tristan. The island has a population of 301 as of September 2015.
4-McMurdo Station, Antarctica
Located quite literally at the bottom of the world, Antarctica is naturally one of the most remote places on Earth. Though there are no permanent residents in the frozen region, the continent does house seasonal researchers and scientist.
The McMurdo Station, located on the northern tip of Antarctica, is the most populated research centers, with close to 1,200 scientists working in the area. Though extremely isolated from neighboring countries, there are three airstrips in McMurdo, which means the inhabitants can easily access the region, as well as many modern amenities.
5-Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland
If you think the name is hard to pronounce, try being one of the 500 people living in this desolate area. The village is located on the eastern shore of Greenland and is just north of Iceland. Greenland’s the one with all the ice, so the water surrounding the town are frozen almost year-round, making access to the region via boat near impossible. Furthermore, the small airport on the island rarely hosts flights.
The majority of the population lives off hunting and fishing, with polar bears and whales the most commonly hunted animals.

Saturday 5th February 2005 - Almerimar, Spain
Well here we are back in Almerimar. We had a fantastic time back in the UK – thanks to everyone who put us up (or put up with us!) and a special thanks to Al’s sister, Fiona for the loan of the car.
We were enjoying being back in the warm sunshine until last week when it snowed – the first time in living memory here in Almerimar. There is always snow on the mountains at this time of year (which is lovely to look at) but everyone was shocked to wake up to a covering on the boats. We thought there was someone on our deck but it turned out to be snow falling from the boom as it melted. The marina was inundated with Spaniards taking photos. – Nige took a few too.
Thankfully the snow was gone by mid morning and the weather is now back to normal – a mixture of warm sunshine and occasional cool breezes. Gales are still raging further east in the Med. We are waiting for these to disappear before even thinking about moving on – regulars here suggest this will not be until late in March.
So given that we may be here for a while we are getting back into the swing of life here in the marina. Al has joined the local Gym for a month (€35 – cheap!) and now has aching muscles having been four mornings in a row, and Nige is planning more epic bike rides. We had thought about hiring a camper van for a few weeks to travel around the interior of Andalucia but this looks too expensive so we will probably just hire a car for a week and visit Seville.
On the social side we had friends round for ‘dinner’ - Bob and Liz from ‘Yanina’ (Christmas card creators and jam session musicians), and Alex and Ashley from ‘Celtic Wave’ (who have just spent 3 months touring in a van – not a camper – a bucket for a toilet). We arranged to get together one afternoon to pool our charts and pilot books and get copies done as needed. This afternoon carried on into the evening with a trip out to the supermarket for food and more booze – the photos show how things degenerated
Monday 28th February 2005 - Almerimar, Spain
Still here in Almerimar and it looks like we will be staying for a while. Today we have rain and gale force winds and it seems that every other day there are gales and storm force winds (force 9 and 10!) somewhere in the western med - particularly around the Balearics which is where we will be heading when we do set off.
We are managing to keep ourselves occupied and we do have days when the weather is really nice - two days ago we had brilliant sunshine and Nige was out on the pontoon in shorts and T-shirt servicing winches again - 9 complete now and only 1 left to do. With most of our winter jobs nearing completion, we decided that we needed something else to do, so we bought a guitar and are both learning to play it. After about 10 days, Nige can play 9 chords and can even change between some of them quite smoothly! We now have very sore fingers on our left hands but they are starting to harden up slowly. Will need to visit our musical advisor (Bob on Yanina) for some more tips before long.
Not much else has happened since our last update - we both had flu which meant we didn't do much for about a week. We started to feel a bit under the weather on Tuesday 15th whilst out for a Chinese (couldn't go on Valentines day because Nige was playing in the pool competition at the Bucannero Bar!). On the way home we popped into Las Uvas (The Grapes) where Nige had three large brandy's and Al had three large Baileys (Spanish measures) in an attempt to fight off the symptoms - it didn't work but we did feel better at the time!
Tuesday 5th April 2005 - Almerimar, Spain
Well we are still here in Almerimar – waiting for westerly winds so we can head off east along the coast to Cartegena and beyond! The forecast looks like this could happen later this week.
We had a great time in Seville and Cordoba with Bob and Liz last week. We hired a car and drove to Seville stopping on the way at Guadix for lunch. This is famous for cave houses – there were chimney pots sticking up from the ground everywhere!
We drove into the centre of Seville and straight to the front door of the Hostel - fantastic navigation – then had to find somewhere to park. Still we were sitting outside the bar next door having a beer by 6pm so “happy days”. Hostel Santa Maria La Blanca (Calle Santa Maria La Blanca - €40) was basic but clean, quiet and in a great location.
We did beer and tapas that evening and then spent the next day seeing the sights – the old town, the Alcazar, and the Cathedral (well Bob did the Cathedral while we three went for a beer). In the evening we went to see a Flamenco show – it was a bit touristy, but as the coach parties were paying €60 (including meal and drinks) and we only paid €12 (show only – tickets from some dodgy bloke in the old town that afternoon) that was fine. We did feel like the poor relations as we sat separate from them but we actually got a better view from our balcony.
On Wednesday we drove through the countryside to Corboda. It was lovely – almost like Derbyshire but sunny. We stopped for lunch in a village in the mountains and then headed into Corboda. The navigation was not so hot this time as we did not have a good map but we eventually found Hostal Almanzo (Calle Cardenal Gonzalez - €50) and it was really nice – more like a small hotel and it had parking!
We spent the evening wandering around the old town and decided that it was worth staying an extra night. The next morning we were up early to get into the Mezquita before 10:00 for free. This was amazing and well worth the effort (quite apart from the €32 saving). It is a Moorish temple with 850 arches but right in the middle there is a Christian Cathedral – it is almost like walking into the tardis!
After a morning of culture we found a ‘locals’ bar and had beer and tapas for lunch – then back to the hostal for a siesta! In the evening we headed for a Jazz bar expecting some live music but unfortunately this didn’t materialize – which was maybe just as well as we had to be up at 07:00 to get the car back here for 12:00.
Back in Almerimar the boat is all ready to go, the name is finally on the bow and we have even put up the cruising chute and the storm sails to check them out. The cruising chute is a massive multi coloured sail made of very light weight fabric to be used in light winds – we bought it in Southsea but haven’t used it yet as it only arrived a few days before we left - we didn’t even have a chance to put lines on it. The storm sails are the ones we hope we do not have to use!
The cupboards are all full – we have enough rice and pasta to last all year – well you never know! However we do know that there is a Mercadona supermarket in Cartegena but it is not as close as the one here.
Monday 16th May 2005 - Cala Potinatx, Ibiza
Well, as you can see from the heading we have moved on from Almerimar (at last!). We finally managed to escape on 20th April, having been ready and waiting for a weather window for three weeks. Fiona came out to visit for a last minute long weekend before we set off and met all our wintering chums.
We sailed overnight to Cartegena to meet up with our friends Rob and Brenda on Paprika. They spent the winter there and now seem settled in their villa in the Mar Menor Golf resort - though they plan to head off on their boat again later in the year. We spent a night in the villa, along with Bob and Liz from Yanina - an evening of fine (?) music with two guitars, a clarinet, a mouth organ and some dubious singing! Celtic Wave and Cougar were also in Cartegena at the same time so it was a bit of an Almermar reunion - many more will follow as we all head towards 'The Ballies'.
On 1st May we set off again to Torrevieja for our first anchorage of the year. We spent two nights on the hook in the harbour (for free!) but did not go ashore as it rained on and off all day. Celtic Wave were also there and told us that we were not missing much (however Yanina spent two weeks there and loved it so who knows).
On 3rd May we headed for Alicante, with dreams of a curry. We checked into the marina (€36 a night - the most expensive so far but it was Nige's birthday) and headed into town. Unfortunately the Indian restaurant was closed for refurbishment - disaster! We decided to save our meal out and look for another curry house the next day. However our friends on Celtic Wave texted us that there was an Indian Restaurant further along the coast in Calpe - and they were waiting for us to get there so hurry up! Nige spent a quiet day on the boat whilst I did the shops.
On 5th May we sailed to Calpe and checked into the pretty marina in the shelter of the impressive Penon de Ifach rock (€18 a night - much more reasonable). As promised Celtic Wave were waiting (having been drooling over the takeaway menu) and so we went for a curry at The Raj, along with Cougar. It was MARVELLOUS - just like back in the UK. In fact it had sister restaurant in Uckfield, East Sussex near Celtic Wave's home town.
On 8th May we got up at DAWN and set sail across to 'The Ballies' - 55 mile trip in the company of Celtic Wave, which was pleasant and uneventful. We dropped anchor in a bay off the Island of Formentera where we spent two nights. We plan to spend the next month sailing around the area (Ibiza and Majorca), anchoring in bays and only going into marinas to fill up with water (and when we have visitors from the UK). The dinghy is now being towed behind us, ready to go ashore for provisions (and beers in beach bars). So far we have visited Cala Tarida (lovely spot - see photos), San Antonio (where football hooligans go on holiday according to Lonely Planet - too true), Ibiza Town (by bus - nice place - don't believe the hype). We are now anchored in Cala Portinatx on the north coast of Ibiza, waiting to sail across to Majorca when the weather is right.
Friday June 17th 2005 - Bay of Roses, North East Spain
It seems our web page updates this year might be monthly - so many other things to keep us busy!
At the end of our last update we were anchored in Cala Portinatx waiting for good weather for the passage across to Mallorca. We had only stopped in that Cala because our friends on Celtic Wave were in there and told us on the radio that it was quite sheltered and really peaceful. The next bit of excitement occured later that same night when the wind increased and a large swell started coming directly into the bay - we spent the rest of the night riding up and down on the swell perilously close to rocks at the head of the bay. Sleep was virtually impossible and we seriously considered leaving the bay in the dark. As it was, the wind dropped a little and we stuck it out until first light. We then headed out to sea to go to Cala San Vicente - further round on the east side of Ibiza and well protected from the northerly swell that had built up. When we looked back after about half an hour, we could see Celtic Wave and four or five other boats from the Cala following along behind us. We anchored in Cala San Vicente at about 0800 - all calm and peaceful and were soon joined by everybody else. Went to bed and slept for the rest of the morning. We spent two nights in San Vicente and were joined in the bay by Ray and Shirley on Charlotte II - they had been in Almerimar during the winter and had last been seen in Cartagena - also our old friends Ian and James on Trooper - last seen in Estepona in 2004, although we had spoken with them on the VHF a couple of days earlier.
On 19th May we set off for Andratx in Mallorca - sea was smooth and a light breeze on the beam - used the Cruising Chute in anger for the first time. Once again we were in company with Celtic Wave and managed to get a few good sailing photos. Andratx proved to be a really good anchorage - a small town at the head of a large bay with plenty of restaurants and bars and a good supermarket (important for us liveaboards). Stig and Alex on Celtic Wave were planning to head along the south of Mallorca then on to Menorca, so we would probably not see them again for some time - good excuse to go out for a meal - also had been saving money on marinas by anchoring, so there were some funds available aswell!
Our friends Fran and Rich were due to be visiting us for a few days at the end of May, so we now had to find somewhere suitable to stay - Palma would be great but we had heard that the marinas there were very expensive (140 Euros per night). As luck would have it, Ian and James on Trooper were going to Palma and promised to phone with information on prices - they stayed one night in Pier 46 marina in Palma and it cost them 82 Euros! We decided to head up the north west coast of the island to Soller - another anchorage that might be a good place for visitors. Soller was another good anchorage - a few shops bars and restaurants around the sheltered bay and a tram running to the larger town of Soller a couple of miles inland - really quite a nice place. We spent four nights in Soller and on the second day went on the Victorian electric train across the island to Palma. In Palma we did a bit of investigation and found that we could get into the Real Club Nautico marina for a few days at 38 Euros a night - not too bad, so we booked a berth for six nights - at least we would have access to showers for our visitors - and enough bars and restaurants in Palma (even for Fran and Rich!).
We now made our way back round the coast to Palma, stopping in Andratx for a night and Las Illetas - a small anchorage a couple of miles outside Palma. Woke up in Las Illetas preparing to go into Palma when I (Nige that is) started feeling decidedly unwell - did not want to stray too far from the toilet (if you know what I mean!). Anyway, we made it into the marina - our first night not anchoring for 20 days - had a quiet day and managed a short walk around Palma. Next day, Fran and Rich were due to arrive about 1600 and I woke up early feeling really unwell now - bad stomach cramps - stayed in bed all day, did not eat anything and only drinking water. Al spent the day cleaning and generally getting ready for our visitors. Fran and Rich arrived as planned, and after a quick chat, I was back in bed. Fran Rich and Al left me there and went out for a few beers and some food (great mates!) - I must have been really ill. Next day, I was not feeling too bad, so we went out around Palma, had lunch in a bar and then out in the evening for an Italian - I had pasta to be kind to my stomach and a few beers for medicinal purposes! The following day we went out in the car for a drive through the mountains, stopping for lunch in Deya and then on to Soller where we had an ice cream - Big Mistake! I had stomach cramp all the way back to Palma and then had to run for the toilets. Decided that I needed to see a doctor, so we ended up in the accident and emergency department of the Son Dureta Hospital in Palma - great treatment - we were out within three hours and in that time I had had a thorough examination (a bit too thorough for my liking!), an x-ray, a blood test and a paracetamol because I had a slight temperature. All the results were analysed and I was diagnosed as having gastro enteritis - told to to be carefull what I ate for the next few days and it should clear up. That was a great relief, so we met Fran and Rich in town where I had a grilled fish (very healthy), and a few more medicinal beers (not so healthy, but obviously feeling better already). Had to take it easy the next day, but managed another night out in few small bars and a great restaurant for Fran and Rich's last night in Palma. We stayed on in the marina for a couple more nights after Fran and Rich left as I was still recovering. Tried to have a quiet time, but Bob and Liz on Yanina arrived in the marina - hadn't seen them since Cartagena - and Ian and James on Trooper turned up again so we ended up having another late night drinking on our boat.
On 5th June we left Palma and headed back to Andratx to wait for good weather to head north to Barcelona - Bob and Liz followed a bit later and we had another night on our boat - probably won't see any of our friends from Almerimar for some time as most of them are staying in the Balearics or heading further east towards Sardinia .
On 6th June we left Andratx and sailed overnight to Barcelona - quite a good passage, but when we arrived, the Port Vell marina in the centre of Barcelona was full - we ended up in the newer Olimpic Marina a couple of miles away where they said we could stay for one night only. This was bad news as we wanted to stay in Barcelona for a few days at least. That night, Al phoned Port Vell and managed to book the next night there, and we ended up staying there for the next three nights. Barcelona was a really nice place and we did the usual sight seeing things - The Rambla - too touristy - a bit like Oxford Streer in London, The Sagred Familia Cathedral - famous Gaudi architecture and really impressive even though it isn't finished yet! Had a walk around Parc Guell and went to see the Magic Fountains at night - great fountains with lights and music. Also did an oil change and managed to fit in a few bars - think I've recovered from the gastro enteritis now!
After Barcelona we decided to head along the coast and stop at a few places before crossing the Gulf de Lion to Marseille. We tried to get into a marina in Mataro but again they were full - this seems to be a problem along the Costa Brava. We ended up continuing further north along the coast and spent the night hove to off Cabo de San Sebastian. We then found a sheltered anchorage in Cala de Sa Riera where we spent a quiet night - just a couple of beers in a beachfront bar. Next day we sailed further north - we've had quite good winds and plenty of sailing rather than motoring along this coast - and spent the next night anchored in Puerto del La Selva - a small fishing port. The forecast in Selva was for strong north westerlies, so we left the next day to shelter in the Bay of Roses - a large sandy bay with the town of Roses in the north east corner - as it is early season, it is quiet and seems to populated by elderly French holiday makers - we've only found one decent bar! We've been here three night so far - anchor dragged once when the wind direction changed - quite scary as we were edging closer to the rocky quay where the tourist boats dock!, however everything has been fine since we reset the anchor. Hope to get away tomorrow - the forecast is beginning to look better.
Next passage is across the Gulf de Lion - notorious for The Mistral and rough seas - hope to post another update from somewhere in the south of France!
Tuesday July 19th 2005 - Sestri Levante, Nothern Italy
Well we made it across the Gulf de Lion, have done the French Riviera and are now travelling down the Italian coast - another busy month!
We left Spain at lunchtime on Saturday 18th June and, having filled up with fuel, sailed overnight and arrived in Marseille the following morning. We were not sure of the procedures when arriving in a French harbour so just headed towards the marinas. Before we got there we were met by the harbourmaster (Captainiere) in his dinghy. Far from reprimanding us he infact invited us to berth on his pontoon (€25 bargain) rather than going into the more expensive marinas. As it had showers and all other facilities we accepted - and had a ringside spot in one of the busiest sailing harbours in the world! That afternoon was the end of a rally of traditional sailing ships which all berthed opposite us. Then the locals returned from their daysails - for well over an hour they came in three and four deep and headed past us into the marinas.
To celebrate arriving in France we went out for a meal in the old part of town - and spent all the money we had saved on marina fees. Lesson learned - don't go into restaurants where they charge for the fish by weight! Still it was a lovely meal. We spent four nights in Marseille, exploring the city (and its bars - the French seem to celebrate 21st June as the beginning of summer and we of course joined in a at a couple of late night street parties - music and dancing etc!) and catching up on chores. We left accompanied by a fleet of enourmous trimarans which were practicing for a race the following day - needless to say they left us standing - they were incredibly fast!
We made our way along the coast towards the French Riviera, stopping to anchor off two islands along the way.
We spent three nights anchored off Ile Des Embiez, an island developed by M. Paul Ricard both as a commercial venture (there is a marina and a holiday village - very Port Merion like) and as a centre for marine research - Nige thought this was all a bit dubious - he imagined secret experiments on people with two heads !?! We were expecting tranquility but there were a number of corporate parties going on which spoilt this - we were glad we were anchored off. We did however manage to gate crash one of their barbeques and got free sausages!
We spent a further two nights anchored off Ile De Porquerolles - we arrived on Sunday afternoon and as we approached the island everybody else was leaving for home - good news as this left plenty of room for us. There is village on the island and a fort which was captured by the British in 1793 in a rather underhand fashion. The British fleet anchored off the island having fled from Toulon which had been captured by the Republicans. The French commander of the fort had been forgotten by the mainland and was unaware of events there. The British admiral invited him aboard and while he was happily sampling the admirals claret, British troups captured the fort and blew it up. The fleet then sailed off taking the hapless French commander with them!
Nothing this exciting happened while we were there of course, so we carried on to Biae De Canoubiers in the Gulf of St Tropez. This was a lovely spot, 20 minutes walk into St Tropez and with a 5 knot speed limit which kept out the boy racers in their powerboats. We went into town a couple of times and had intended to stay longer but unfortunately a gale was forecast to blow directly into the bay. We went into Marina de Cogolin (at the head of the gulf) which had the best shelter. We thought it would be at most a similar price to St Tropez (€41 - we had checked out on foot) but we were wrong - it was €56!! We stayed two nights while the gale blew - sure enough we saw 40 knots of wind on our instruments and we were sheltered by buildings.
After the gale had passed we returned to our anchorage and went for a Saturday night out in St Tropez - obviously the place to be and our first sight of the big money boats - most of which were British!
Feeling a bit like the poor relations we moved on on Sunday 3 July towards Cannes. We spent one night anchored off Ile St Marguerite just outside Cannes but decided it was too far to dinghy into town, so on Monday morning we checked into marina 'Port Pierre-Canto' (€29). This was 15 minutes walk along the seafront into Cannes. We spent two nights here and really liked it - not as historic as other places we have been to, but full of life.
Next on our tour of the French Riviera was Nice - we anchored in Rade de Villefranche - a bay between Nice and Monaco - both were short train or bus journeys away. Villefranche is a lovely old town on a steep hill with cobbled streets - some in tunnels under the houses. The location was ideal but unfortunately the bay was open to the swell which rolled in making the boat rock uncomfortably. We put a stern anchor out to hold us in position but were still not happy to leave the boat for any length of time. We decided to move into the next bay which looked better on paper but the swell still rolled in so we checked into the marina at Beaulieu-sur-Mer (€36). This was a lovely marina, friendly and clean with showers operated by movement sensors (very posh!), and also good transport to Nice and Monaco, the town itself however was elegant but dull.
We went into Nice on the bus for a day trip - had a great time explored the old town, climbed Mont De Chateau, walked along the seafront and then went for a meal in the old town - fixed price this time. We missed the last bus back and had to spend an hour in a sleazy railway station bar before catching the train home at 1am.
After a day of rest we went to Monaco on the bus for another day trip. Although the city was spotless, the gardens were well tended and the boats in the marina were huge - we got home in time for tea as the place felt staid and too touristy.
On Tuesday 12th July we went back to Villefranche but it was still rolly so the next morning we left and headed for San Remo, Italy. Nige's parents had been there many years ago so he wanted to see what it was like. There were no anchorages nearby so we went straight into the marina. We were greeted by smiling friendly marineros - we soon found out why - €48 (PLUS €2.50 for a shower - unbelievable!). We stayed one night and washed on the boat. San Remo old town was on a hill with cobbled alleyways under the houses (like Villefranche). We climbed to a floodlit church at the top and found an open air concert being performed by a pianist and 12 piece orchestra. It was being filmed for Italian tv - we stayed for a while and then went searching for a bar.
On Thursday 14th we travelled 20 miles along the coast to Loano, a bustling seaside town with a more reasonably priced marina - €30 plus 50 centimos in the slot for a shower.
The next day - Friday 15th July we carried on to Genoa. This was a big, noisy city with a mosquito infested smelly marina, but we stayed three nights anyway. Partly because we wanted to buy some charts and the chart shop was not open at the weekend but also because we wanted to explore. The city was full of grand buildings and palaces - streets of them - many crumbling through neglect. On monday morning Nige bought the charts and camping Gaz and I went shopping - I bought a chicken from the chicken shop, cheese from the cheese shop...... there were also a couple of small supermarkets but I had a great time with all the Italian housewives shopping the Italian way!
All stocked up we headed off down the coast towards Portofino and other bays in the the 'Gulf of Marconi'. We visited Portofino many years ago with our friends Andy and Judith who were working in Milan at the time so were looking forward to going back there. Unfortunately the swell coming from the strong winds further south in Corsica made Portofino and nearby bays look very uncomfortable so we are now anchored 10 miles further south off Sestri Levante. We may go back on ourselves and visit them in the next few days.
Thursday 25th August 2005 - Isola Di Ponza, Italy
After spending a couple of nights in Sestri Levante we headed back up towards Portofino. When we arrived we decided that it looked too crowded and so went into the next harbour, Santa Margerita Ligure where we anchored close to the jetty used by the tripper boats - this provided a great place to dinghy ashore and also a tap to fill the water carrier. Unfortunately it also acted as the launch pad for the fireworks display that evening - we thought we had a prime spot but the harbour police thought we were too close so we had to move. They were right - it was a fantastic display and we would have been showered in gunpowder and debris! Still the next morning we went back to our spot and stayed there for 6 nights. Santa Margerita is a lovely town - a bigger version of the picture postcard Portofino (which we walked to). There was lots going on including live music at an Irish bar - we were the only audience apart from the families of the musicians.
On Tuesday 26 July we headed south to Rada Di La Spezia where we anchored in a bay off Le Grazie. The whole Rada is protected by a breakwater as a lot of Italian Navy vessels are based there, so the anchorage was well sheltered. Le Grazie itself is just a small village with a few bars, a supermarket, a launderette and coin operated showers - I made use of these facilities which are rarely found when at anchor. We went on a bus trip into La Spezia which had some interesting looking shops and bars, and also walked to Portovenere. This is another 'picture postcard' Italian village with a crowded harbour - the week before Bill Gates' sidekick Paul Allen was there - his 'ship' took up the whole anchorage (there was a photo in the Italian papers).
On Sunday 1 August we set off towards Pisa into the River Arno to meet up with Bob and Liz on Yanina. It was Bob's birthday and they had some visitors - Midge and Lawrence - who were to stay with them for three weeks. So that night we had a bit of a party on Yanina. The next day they headed off to Elba - we stayed another night, anchored up the river, and then followed. The river made an interesting change - we saw foxes, herons and deer on the banks. It reminded us of when we had our first river boat on the river Trent.
On Tuesday 3 August we sailed to the island of Elba and anchored in the bay of Portoferraio. On the way we (Nige) broke the drum of the jib furler. Fortunatley there was a sailmaker in the town who dealt with Furlex and ordered the replacement part for us. We also bumped into the previous owner of the business in a chandlers (he is now a live aboard whose boat is in Venezuela), and he arranged a discounted price for us - that was a stroke of luck!. Portoferraio is the main town on the island and is where Napolean was exiled for 6 months - we looked at the outside of his house on one of our three visits to the anchorage.
On Saturday 6 August we sailed round the island to meet up with Yanina for a beach BBQ to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately the disposable BBQ had been at sea too long and so we finished the evening using the grill back on Strummer. The next night we stayed in another bay on the south of Elba before returning to Portoferraio to shelter from the strong southerly winds forecast and to wait for our spare part. As it turned out we had a couple of really windy days with very strong gusts and boats were dragging their anchors all over the place. We managed to anchor securely in a good spot with only one boat infront of us - a dive boat - they anchor all the time so will have good ground tackle and won't drag - wrong! In the middle of the night I woke to see it drifting past us towards the pack of anchored boats. As there was nobody aboard I called the harbourmaster and gave our position and the nature of the problem. I got no reply so blasted our fog horn 5 times to alert other boats and hoped for the best. The harbourmasters however did arrive, they secured the boat and contacted the owners who came out and re-anchored.
On Saturday 13 August we left Elba (on our second attempt - we had sailed round to Porto Azzuro spent a noisy and windy night there before returning to Portoferriao and repeating the trip a day later). We sailed to Isola Giglio and spent the night in a rolly anchorage. As we were awake already we set off again at first light back to the mainland. We spent a more peaceful night at anchor outside Santa Marinella - we only realised just how sheltered this anchorage was when we left the next morning and encountered a huge swell. As the wind was not on the nose we just put out some jib which steadied the boat and carried on - it was almost like being in the Atlantic again.
We arrived at Ostia, near Rome on Monday 15th August, and popped into the marina on the crest of a huge swell - just like a cork out of a bottle! We only had a sketch plan of the marina as it had been built since our pilot book was published, but we saw large power boats coming out from it so thought the entrance would be big enough for us. Fortunately it was. It was a nice marina, only €1 fare into Rome, but Ostia itself was rough. We booked in for a week (€280) and I texted Fiona - unfortunately she had a meeting on Friday so she made a flying visit. She arrived on Saturday afternoon and left on Monday afternoon having travelled from Bradford via London and Amsterdam. We spent her day in Rome seeing the sights (wasting money on the tourist bus) - she said lunch was the most expensive pizza she had ever eaten.
On Tuesday 23rd August we left Ostia all clean (boat and crew) and full of water, fuel and provisions. We were planning to anchor off Anzio but there was still swell from the gales in Corsica and Sardinia and when our depth guage got to 0.5m in the entrance we changed our minds and carried on to Nettuno where we booked into the marina. On the VHF we were quoted €50 but in the office they tried to charge me €65 - I only had a €50 note and pleaded that my Captain would be very angry if I paid more - so they charged the €50. Nice marina, lovely old town but not at €65 a night.
So yesterday we sailed to Isola di Ponza where we are now anchored in a bay north of the town. The town harbour itself was manic when we arrived with ferries, boats and dingies buzzing around all over the place. This bay is less manic - even peaceful except between 5pm and 7pm when the Italians pop over from the mainland in their powerboats and the beach disco blasts out music.
We plan to leave here tomorrow afternoon and sail overnight to Torre De Greco - a marina near Naples - where we can leave the boat safely for the day to visit Pompeii.
Friday 30th September 2005 - Malta
Well we are now in Malta - where we will be spending the winter.
Our visit to Naples and Pompeii did not quite go as planned. We sailed overnight from Ponza to Torre Del Greco in The Bay of Naples but when we arrived we found that it was just a small, grotty harbour and visitors berths were non-existant. Consequently we carried on across the bay to Sorrento but these harbours were also small and crowded - so we carried on past Capri (which was like a powerboat motorway - this being the last Saturday in August) - again, we carried on along the Amalfi coast and eventually anchored outside Salerno after 24 hours at sea. Not a good day!
The following morning we headed into Salerno and moored bows to the 'transito' berths where we stayed 4 nights for free. Nige went in search of camping Gaz as we were running low but couldn't find any - everywhere had run out as the holiday season was coming to a close - so we ate out. We visited Pompeii which was fascinating even for us 'rubble cynics' - particularly due to its size - a whole city of streets with pavements and full height buildings. The journey there took a little longer than expected - 2 hours on a local bus - but the train back took just 20 minutes.
On 1 September we filled up with fuel and sailed to a quiet anchorage off Punto Palinuro. The next morning we went looking for Camping Gaz in the campsite ashore but again found none so sailed on to Scario. This was a lovely little town but the Camping Gaz story was the same so we had to eat out again to save what gas was left for tea and coffee.
We left Scario late the next day and sailed past Stromboli at night. This is an active volcano that has mini erruptions every 20 minutes or so - very exciting but too small to make a good photo. The next morning we anchored in a bay off the nearby island of Vulcano. This island has hot springs where lots of strange people were covering themselves in the volcanic mud and inhaling the sulphur vapours - much better photo opportunities.
After a smelly night amidst the sulphur fumes we headed towards Sicily and the Messina Straits. This narrow channel between Sicily and the toe of Italy is renowned for its strong tides, eddies and whirlpools (known as "bastardi's" in Italian!) which together with the ferries contantly crossing make for an exciting passage. Having studied the tide tables we approached at the best time, and were passed by Kiah, a boat which had also spent the winter in Almermar and left there a few days after us.
Having successfully negotiated the Straits we went into Reggio Calabria. After an altrication with a local who was waiting to go into the only available 'transito' space we spent a free night on the fuel berth, and a local taxi driver called Saverio got us a bottle of Camping Gaz - he arrived with a photocopy of an article featuring himself written by Rod Heikell (who writes the pilot books we use).
The following morning we had an early start as we were kicked off the fuel berth at 0700, and sailed south to Naxos Giardini, in the shadow of Etna, where we found Kiah at anchor. We were intending to visit the village of Taormina, which is 250m above sea level, but a violent thunder storm with winds of over 40 knots put paid to this idea that day, and as dark clouds came over the following day we decided we should stay with the boat. We then moved on and spent a couple of nights anchored in Brucoli Bay before sailing down to Syracuse on 10 September.
Syracuse was a great find - we anchored in the bay west of the the old town with just a handful of other yachts. The town itself was beautiful and there were lots of lively bars and restaurants which we visited. On the outskirts of the town is a greek theatre (one of the largest of the ancient world apparently) which we also visited. Kiah arrived a day after us and we decided to sail together overnight to Malta.
On Tuesday 13 September at 6pm we set off. All was fine as we sailed down the past the bottom of Sicily, but then the lumpy sea started. We had expected this as the sea level between Sicily and Malta is relatively shallow, but it still made for an uncomfortable night. We arrived in Malta, our home for the winter, tired and relieved at 10am the next morning.
At present we are a in guest berth, waiting for the winter berths to become available when the locals get their boats lifted out - hopefully in the next week or so (the price for the 7 month winter contract here in Msida Marina is £735 including water and electricity - cheaper even than Almerimar). Bob and Liz on Yanina have arrived and are having their boat lifted out on Monday for antifouling etc.- they have still to decide whether to stay here or carry on to Tunisia - so we have had a couple of parties just incase they leave.
So that's it - the end of our cruising for 2005. 1690 nautical miles travelled around 4 countries, 54 nights spent in marinas and 95 nights at anchor or at sea.
We have loads of projects planned for the winter so we will be busy - our Wind Vane steering system should be delivered in mid-October and fitting that will be interesting. We are also planning to fit Radar, and an arch on the stern with solar panels and a wind generator. We are investigating upgrading the fridge (need to keep the beer cold!), and there is also the engine to service and anti-fouling to be done, plus we are heading back to the UK for a couple of weeks over Christmas. Phew what a hectic life we lead!

WORLD LATIN AMERICA ARGENTINA BUENOS AIRES
Buenos Aires, Argentina Hotels and City Guide
Buenos Aires Hotels and Buenos Aires Guide with Buenos Aires maps, top attractions, room reservations and hotel deals at a wide range of the best Buenos Aires hotels
Buenos Aires - Attractions
Time Off: What to See and Do in Buenos Aires
Food, fun and, of course, dancing are all favourite pastimes for the average Argentine. Museums, galleries and buildings of historic significance are abundant and respectfully preserved. Great works of literature, opera, intelligent cinema, sport and a thriving theatrical tradition are all celebrated aspects of the rich and varied Latin culture that sparkles here day and night.
Buenos Aires' Main Attractions
Buenos Aires offers an array of attractions, from social and political landmarks to museums and cultural centres. Our picks below of Buenos Aires' main attractions are arranged according to location;
Puerto Madera
City Centre Attractions
The May Pyramid dominates the centre of this plaza named in remembrance of the May 1810 Revolution which marked Argentina’s fight for independence from Spain. Tragic and glorious national events have taken place on this main stage of Argentine political life over the centuries: until 1853 it was the scene of executions; in 1955 it was bombed by the Argentine Air Force in an attempted coup d’état; since April 1976 the mothers of dissidents who disappeared during the military dictatorship of 1976-1983, ‘Madres de la Plaza de Mayo’, meet there every Thursday at 15.30 to protest against the fate of the missing. Their symbol of a white headscarf forms part of the brickwork.
In 1982 there were major demonstrations against the military dictatorship, while in 1984 a large demonstration took place when the ‘Nunca Mas’ (Never Again) Report, listing the names of missing persons, was presented to the new civilian president, Alfonsin. In 2001 demonstrators were killed by police during a demonstration against the government’s confiscation of money in bank accounts. To this day “filling the square� means a successful event or demonstration.
Open: Tues-Fri 12.30-19.00, Sun 15.00-19.00
Admission: ARS1.00
The original seat of Spanish colonial power, the town hall in the city’s main square was designed by Jesuit architect Andrés Blanqui in 1580. It was the government house of the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata. It fell into disrepair but the reconstruction of two stories and eleven arches began in 1725, mostly completed in 1764 although the building was not totally finished by the May Revolution in 1810. Having raised the tower by 10 metres and added a dome in 1880, it was demolished with three of the eleven arches in 1889 to make way for Avenida de Mayo. Another three arches were destroyed in 1931 to build Julio A Roca Avenida, leaving only five of the original eleven. Finally, in 1940, architect Mario Buschiazzo reconstructed the Cabildo in colonial style from original 1810 plans.
The National Museum of Cabildo and the May Revolution
Open: Tue-Fri 10.30-17.00, Sat-Sun 11.30-18.00
This National Museum now occupies the building housing old weapons, paintings, artifacts, maps, documents, old photographs, clothes and jewellery of the 18th century. The 1835 ornamental well has survived in the patio. A crafts fair takes place in the courtyard on Thursdays and Fridays from 12.00-17.00.
Casa Rosada
Free tours of the public rooms at 11.00 or 16.00.
Across the plaza is today’s version of Government House from where the Argentine president governs. Many political figures over the years have appeared on the balconies to address the crowds in the square, including Eva Perón when she delivered her last speech.
A small museum on the south side contains presidential paraphernalia, including that of Evita Perón. Open: Mon-Fri 10.00-18.00, Sun 14.00-1800.
Metropolitan Cathedral
Open: Mon-Fri 08.00-19.00, Sat-Sun 09.00-19.30
The twelve columns of the neo-classical exterior of this elegant building represent the twelve apostles. It was built between the 18th-20th centuries which explains the different styles of architecture from Baroque to Romantic. A votive flame in memory of the Unknown Soldier as well as a tribute to Argentina’s liberator General José de San Martin is located in front of the cathedral. His 1880 tomb within the cathedral is a National Historical Monument. The cathedral has three naves, mosaic floor, and a 46m high dome.
Built between 1940-1955, the dome of this impressive building is one of the largest in the world having a diameter of 50m and a height of 36m.
Avenida de Mayo
Completed in 1894 the 1km-long Avenida de Mayo connects the Plaza de Mayo with the Plaza del Congreso passing through the monumental 9 de Julio Avenue. Historically and currently the scene of political rallies and social marches, this elegant avenue consists of sumptuous buildings. Artists of all nationalities designed the façades of the buildings, turning the whole avenue into an architectural delight well worth wandering down. Buildings include the National Congress, Avenida Theatre and Café Tortoni .
The National Congress
The early 20th century Greco-Roman Congress Palace - modelled on the Capitol in Washington DC - boasts a 30,000-tonne copper dome, an 8m high bronze quadriga sculpture over the main entrance and beautiful rooms. It overlooks the vast Plaza de los Dos Congresos, covering almost three city blocks with shady trees, fountains and statues, including one of six copies of Auguste Rodin’s ‘The Thinker’. Facing the Congress Palace on the opposite side of the plaza, is the stunning Italian-style Barolo Palace.
Avenida Theatre
Two other grand buildings found here are the late 19th century domed La Prensa newspaper house, capped with a bronze allegorical statue of a woman, now home to the City Cultural Ministry, and the Avenida Theatre.
Café Tortoni
Situated in an Art Nouveau building the historical Café Tortoni is one of the oldest literary cafés in the city where tango and jazz bands still play at night.
Plaza de la República
Intersection of Avenida Corrientes and Avenida 9 de Julio
The iconic 67m high Obelisk, built in 1936 to commemorate the 4th centenary of the city's first founding, is the central point of the small jacaranda-lined Plaza de la República at the intersection of Avenida Corrientes and the vast Avenida 9 de Julio, 120m wide with 16 lanes, and 3kms long.
Avenida Corrientes is the ‘Broadway’ of Buenos Aires where most theatres are concentrated. This busy street comes alive at night, but is also known for its bookstores and famous cafés, giving the street a bohemian atmosphere.
Teatro Colón
Cerrito 618
Near the Obelisk with its back facing Avenida 9 de Julio, the impressive Teatro Colón built in 1908 re-opened in May 2010 after a 3-year restoration. It is sumptuous and superb and, with La Scala in Milan, has the best acoustics in the world. It hosts operas, symphonies and ballets. Toscanini, Maria Callas, Pavarotti and Nijinsky are but a few of the stars who have performed here. The interior of the beautiful dome was painted by the renowned Argentine artist Raúl Soldi in 1966.
There are one-hour conducted tours daily at 11.00, 13.00 and 15.00, costing ARS12. Theatre tickets can be purchased at the box office.
Retiro Attractions
Plaza San Martin
Florida Street, northern end
Situated at the northern end of pedestrianised Florida Street between Avenida Santa Fé, Avenida del Libertador and San Martin Street, this beautiful leafy plaza was once the site of a slave market, a bullring, and Argentine liberator José San Martin’s artillery unit’s barracks. It was where the Argentines defended themselves against the British invasion of 1806. A statue of San Martin towers over the square. In 1833 the area was converted into a landscaped park leading down to the riverside, when more than 300 Ombú, Linden and Floss Silk trees were planted, some surviving to this day.
In 1900 Argentina’s wealthiest landowners built their mansions around the plaza, three of which survive: the Beaux Arts Anchorena Palace, the Second Empire Paz Palace and the neo-gothic Haedo Palace (all now occupied by government departments).
Malvinas War Monument and Torre de los Ingleses
The Malvinas War Monument dedicated to the soldiers, sailors and airmen who died during the Falklands War is at the bottom of the embankment, opposite which is the Torre de los Ingleses, a gift to the city built by British residents in commemoration of the centennial of the 25 May 1810 Revolution. The watchtower on the 6th floor offers panoramic views of Plaza San Martin. After the 1982 Falklands War, the name of the tower was changed to Torre Monumental (but is still referred to as the English Tower).
San Telmo Attractions
Populated by aristocratic families at the end of the 19th century, the large mansions became squats after the yellow fever epidemic. With its Bohemian flavour it is now possibly the most charming of Buenos Aires’ barrios. Relics of its historical past are found in narrow cobblestone streets, colonial buildings with attractive iron railings, gas lamps, art schools, a renowned antique fair and historical cafés that haven’t changed over the years.
Manzana de las Luces
Calle Perú 27
Open: Mon-Fr 10.00-19.00, Sat-Sun 15.00-19.00.
Admission: Free. Tours: Sat & Sun 15.00 and 16.30 (for ARS2.00 fee).
In the 17th century this block of land was granted to the Jesuits who built the Church of San Ignacio de Loyola. The city’s oldest church was completed in 1722. It is famous for being a place of resistance during the English invasion of 1807. It boasts a baroque façade, bell tower, main doors with carved friezes, a glazed white-tile dome, and a wooden altar carved by Isidro de Lorea.
The church was nearly destroyed when Perón attempted to reduce the power of the Catholic Church during the revolution that toppled him in 1955. This building complex (manzana meaning a city block and las Luces meaning ‘light’ referring to intellectuals) includes a network of underground tunnels which connected the Jesuit churches to strategic points in the city, including the Cabildo and the port. Speculation is that they could also have been built for military purposes or for smuggling goods into the city during colonial times.
The tunnels were extended by military dictators as a quick means of escape during unexpected coups. Certainly Perón used the tunnels when he fled from the Casa Rosada on his way to Paraguay. In the colonial era this ‘block of illumination’ housed the first public school, university and library. Today it is a cultural centre for art workshops and exhibitions, theatre and movies.
Corner of Defensa and Humberto Primo
This delightful shady square is full of life, historic cafés, street markets, folk music, and is famous for the Antique Fair held every Sunday from 10.00-17.00 where many a good bargain can be found. Antique shops are found in the neighbouring streets. Impromptu street dancing, milongas, adds to the festive atmosphere. The tango is danced in the streets accompanied by guitars. Or sit at a sidewalk bar to enjoy the street shows while eating. Don’t leave the area without visiting the classic Plaza Dorrego Bar, an Argentine icon.

Don’t miss this atmospheric street where you will probably have to dodge tango dancers and vendors hoping for some pesos.

Recoleta Cemetery
JunÃn 1790
Dating from 1822, the maze of paved streets in this cemetery contains over 6,000 enormous elaborate tombs and mausoleums of the former rich and famous citizens of Buenos Aires, including that of Maria Eva Duarte, better known as Evita Perón (1919-1952). Her embalmed body stayed hidden in a crate in Buenos Aires for three years before being sent to Bonn as part of the Argentine military attaché’s household effects and was probably buried in the ambassador’s garden or in the basement of the embassy.
At some stage it was removed and secretly buried in Milan, Italy, under the name of Maria Maggi. In 1971 her coffin was handed over to Perón and his third wife Isabella while in exile in Spain where it was kept in an upstairs room. Perón returned to power in Argentina in 1973. A year later Isabella succeeded Perón and brought Evita’s coffin back to Buenos Aires.
After Isabella was overthrown in yet another coup in 1976, Evita’s body was handed over to her sisters and finally came to rest in her family’s tomb in 1977. Guided tours take place daily, starting from the entrance on JunÃn 1760.
Recoleta Cultural Centre
The convent and part of the Nuestra Señora del Pilar’s cloisters have been converted into the Cultural Centre. The gutted interior has avant-garde exhibitions, a cinema, and a large auditorium hosts the Tango Festival. Upstairs there is a hands-on museum for children.
Basilica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar
This historical church with its square tower and bell-shaped dome built by Franciscan friars in 1732, nestles in trees adjacent to the cemetery. It was declared a National Historic Monument in 1942 owing to its six German baroque altars, the central one ornately overlaid with engraved Peruvian silver. Visit its splendid cloisters before relaxing at one of the many attractive pavement cafés and bars a few steps away.
Museo Naciónal de Bellas Artes

Converted into a museum in 1937, the building itself is an architectural work of art. It is filled with over 4,000 treasures from South America, Asia and Europe, including silver, porcelain, mirrors, crystal and bronze chandeliers, French and Flemish tapestries, paintings, sculptures, period furniture and a room of extraordinary Imperial Russian miniatures. Don’t forget to walk around the formal garden.

Admission: ARS10.00. Restaurant open: Tue-Fri 09.00-01.00.
Evita Perón’s foundation bought and restored this beautiful mansion as a shelter for single mothers with children in 1948. In the few short years remaining to her, she was able to improve the lot of the poor, unaware this mansion would become her museum in 2002, 50 years after her death. It was declared a National Historical Monument in 1999. The museum chronicles the life of Eva Duarte through photographs, articles, her quotations and her clothes from childhood, to youth as an actress, and finally to much-beloved First Lady in 1946 to President Juan Perón. She served in office until her death in July 1952 at the age of 33. The Perónist political movement founded by the Peróns is represented today by the Justicialist Party. Eva remains an Argentine heroine.
Juan Perón (1895-1974) was elected President of Argentina three times. During World War II, Perón supported Mussolini and Hitler which explains why Argentina became a haven for Nazi war criminals after the war. Overthrown in a military coup in 1955, he fled to Paraguay. In exile for 18 years mainly in Venezuela and Spain, he returned to power in 1973, serving for 9 months before his death from a heart attack.
Parque 3 de Febrero
Northern-most stretch of Avenue Del Libertador
Situated within this sprawling neighbourhood close to Recoleta is the recreational Parque 3 de Febrero, also known as the Bosques de Palermo (Palermo Woods), the 25-hectare green lung of the city inaugurated in 1875. Between 1892-1912 the French landscape artist Carlos Thays designed: the Botanical Gardens; the 18-hectare Zoological Gardens where 350 different species of animals exist in an exotic habitat; the Japanese Garden with pagodas and ponds full of bright fish, a bonsai nursery and a Japanese teahouse; the Rosedal rose garden with 15,000 rosebushes of 1,000 different species; as well as the adjoining Plaza Italia.
A charming vine-covered Andalusian patio with majolica tiles and Spanish mosaics and a quaint bridge were added in 1927. The Galileo Galilei Plantarium was erected in 1951 on the edge of one of the three lakes used for boating. A Poets’ Garden contains stone and bronze busts of famous poets, while the Eduardo Sivori Museum houses paintings, sculptures, drawings and tapestries from the 19th and 20th centuries.
As well as an 18-hole golf course, other sporting sights to see in this barrio are the Palermo Racetrack and the famous Argentine Polo Fields.
Puerto MaderaAttractions
The old port of Buenos Aires has been converted into a vibrant modern district with condominiums, shops, cinemas and trendy restaurants in the former redbrick warehouses. Modern skyscrapers soar behind them in stark contrast.
Not far from Plaza de Mayo the river can be crossed at Dock 3 via the elegant Puente de la Mujer Bridge representing a tango dancer which rotates 90 degrees to allow the passage of ships. The English-built frigate Presidente Sarmiento, a training ship from 1897-1961, now a museum, is also docked here. Close by, at the end of Avenida de Mayo, is the 6.25m high Christopher Columbus Monument sculpted from Carrara marble. Notice the damage done by missiles fired in 1955 during the coup to remove President Perón.
At Dock 4 the Uruguay Corvette Ship Museum is next to the exclusive Puerto Madero Yacht Club.
Constanera T. Achával Rodrigiuqes Avenue separates the city from the 350-hectare Ecological Nature Reserve, a green lung of willows, alders, pastures of Pampas foxtail grass, home to otters, red opossums, amphibeans and reptiles. You can sail, walk, jog, cycle in this recreational reserve.
Stroll along the Constanera Sur Esplanade, see the beautiful marble Fountain of the Nereids or visit the Calcos Museum, exhibiting copies of famous Gothic and Renaissance sculptures.

ARTICLE III.
It is further stipulated and agreed, if at any time hereafter, the said nations should be of the opinion, that it would be more for their interest, that the annuity aforesaid should be paid by instalments, the United States will agree to a reasonable commutation for the annuity, and pay it accordingly.
ARTICLE IV.
The United States, to manifest their liberality, and disposition to encourage the said Indians, in agriculture, further stipulate, to furnish the said Indians with two blacksmiths, one to reside with the Chippeways, at Saguina, and the other to reside with the Ottaways, at the Miami, during the term of ten years; said blacksmiths are to do such work for the said nations as shall be most useful to them.
ARTICLE V.
It is further agreed and stipulated, that the said Indian nations shall enjoy the privilege of hunting and fishing on the lands ceded as aforesaid, as long as they remain the property of the United States.
ARTICLE VI.
It is distinctly to be understood, for the accommodation of the said Indians, that the following tracts of land within the cession aforesaid, shall be, and hereby are reserved to the said Indian nations, one tract of land six miles square, on the Miami of lake Erie, above Roche dè Boeuf, to include the village, where Tondaganie, (or the Dog) now lives. Also, three miles square on the said river, (above the twelve miles square ceded to the United States by the treaty of Greenville) including what is called Presque Isle; also four miles square on the Miami bay, including the villages where Meshkemau and Waugau now live; also, three miles square on the river Raisin, at a place called Macon, and where the river Macon falls into the river Raizin, which place is about fourteen miles from the mouth of said river Raizin; also, two sections of one mile square each, on the river Rouge, at Seginsiwin’s village; also two sections of one mile square each, at Tonquish’s village, near the river Rouge; also three miles square on lake St. Clair, above the river Huron, to include Machonce’s village; also, six sections, each section containing one mile square, within the cession aforesaid, in such situations as the said Indians shall elect, subject, however, to the approbation of the President of the United States, as to the places of location. It is further understood and agreed, that whenever the reservations cannot conveniently be laid out in squares, they shall be laid out in paralelograms, or other figures, as found most practicable and convenient, so as to contain the area specified in miles, and in all cases they are to be located in such manner, and in such situations, as not to interfere with any improvements of the French or other white people, or any former cessions.
ARTICLE VII.
The said nations of Indians acknowledge themselves to be under the protection of the United States, and no other power, and will prove by their conduct that that are worthy of so great a blessing.
In testimony whereof, the said William Hull, and the sachems and war chiefs representing the said nations, have hereunto set their hands and seals.
Done at Detroit, in the territory of Michigan, the day and year first above written.

Get Carried Away By Carlson’s Debut Album Never Easy Never Been Easier
The Brooklyn sound engineer and producer, having worked with Autre Ne Veut and Tim Hecker, opens up his own world.
By Aimee Cliff
Al Carlson is mostly a behind-the-scenes kind of guy. Having collaborated as a sound engineer, producer and multi-intrumentalist with Autre Ne Veut, Tim Hecker and Ariel Pink, he's got plenty of studio time under his belt: but it was while he was miles outside of the studio, on a surf trip in Nicaragua, that he conceived of his own debut project Never Easy Never Been Easier. The psychedelic, free-roaming electronic release is formed of one 40 minute continuous mix, which you can get swept up by below.
"With this set I microscopically focused on every sonic element from the ground up," Carlson (his recording name) told The FADER. "I made beats with the smallest shards of rhythmic high-end and low-end. I created pads and bass sounds using very basic and pure additive/subtractive synthesis. I used samples but filtered them into the smallest frequency zones and cut them into small micro-pieces. Conversely, big picture wise, I wanted to focus on the clarity of the ideas using a slow development of melodies and themes. I made this LP as a continuous look at contrast; both instant, in the moment, but also over the course of 40 minutes."

Lighting the Whimsical Winterland at Marco Polo Ortigas Manila
The season of joy has officially begun as the Forbes Travel Guide Five Star Award Winner unlocked the doors to Winterland with the golden key with the ceremonial tree lighting last 21 November.
This year’s theme comes from the classic tale that brings a magical journey. Guests were welcomed by the voices of a choir group with a set of Christmas carols. Afterwards, General Manager, Frank Reichenbach, welcomed corporate clients, in-house guests, and media partners for gracing the event.
“Christmas is a time for family and true friendship. This year’s there, Whimsical Winterland, brings to life the Lewis Carroll classic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. We are pleased to present how the world can and is indeed more vibrant, enchanting, and delightful when viewed through the eyes of innocence. It is by revelling in childlike wonder, like Alice did in the beloved children’s story, that we may begin fully embracing what this season means for all of us,” said Mr. Reichenbach.
Guest of honour, Officer-in-Charge and City Administrator of Pasig City Atty. Dianeth Valencia, graced the event to celebrate with the hotel. “We are happy to take part in this event as the hotel and the city’s goals are the same in terms of celebrating Christmas. We really can feel and smell the Christmas at Marco Polo,” says Atty. Valencia.
Sharing the spirit of Christmas, the children of Riversprings School were gathered to light up the 25-foot Christmas tree together with the owning company, Xin Tian Ti, officially starting the magical journey. The spectacle of lights bringing wonders to the whimsical decorations brought guests a nostalgia reminiscent of the classic book. Afterwards, the hotel’s associates surprised everyone with a performance over a classic holiday song.
Just as the season of giving is around the corner, the hotel also announced the 3rd year of the Wings of Hope program. This year, guests are encouraged to adopt an eagle stuffed toy for a minimal fee of Php 650, with proceeds supporting the Philippine Eagle Foundation’s efforts in preserving and looking after the national bird.
Resident Manager Roel Constantino concluded the event with a few words, “Fuelled by the spirit of discovery and the heartfelt commitment to serve, Marco Polo Ortigas Manila is proud to be among the most recognized institutions in the hospitality and travel industry. We hope today’s celebration inspires everyone here today to make real what others deem impossible and to remain as curious as ever.”
Experience a classic tale told in a magnificent way through a menagerie of curious characters, sweet parties, and wonderful things at Whimsical Winterland.

Democratic Congressman James Traficant, Jr. was expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday 24 July by a vote of 420-1 with 9 Congressmen voting "present". The sole vote against Traficant's expulsion came from California Congressman Gary Condit, who has already lost his bid for renomination to another term in the House; the 9 Members of Congress voting "present" were: Callahan from Alabama (Republican), Young from Alaska (Republican), Bilirakis from Florida (Republican), Otter from Idaho (Republican), Hostettler and Simpson- both Republicans from Indiana, Bartlett from Maryland (Republican), Ford from Tennessee (Democrat) and Paul from Texas (Republican). The Governor of Ohio, Bob Taft, will now have to decide whether to call for a Special Election for Traficant's seat or to let it remain vacant until the 108th Congress takes office on 3 January 2003 (as a practical matter, any Special Election will probably take place at the same time as the General Election and within current CD 17 district boundaries which are different from those of the new Ohio CD 17 voting this coming 5 November).
18 July 2002: An 8 member panel from the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct found Traficant guilty of 9 of the 10 ethics violations stemming from his conviction on bribery, tax evasion and fraud charges. The committee's recommendation for explusion will be considered by the full House of Representatives.
11 April 2002: A jury in a Federal District Court in Ohio finds Congressman Traficant guilty of bribery and other corruption charges. (News item)
4 May 2001: Representative Traficant faces a 10-count federal indictment claiming that he accepted gifts in return for political favors and used his Congressional staff to work on his property.

Victory for Liberia Chimpanzees!
On May 30, AAVS learned that the lifetime care for over 60 chimpanzees formerly used in research and abandoned in Liberia is now assured. We are happy to report that The Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) and New York Blood Center (NYBC), which used these chimps in hepatitis research for decades, have agreed to split the costs associated with the lifetime care of these animals. NYBC is providing $6 million in funding and HSUS will assume permanent responsibility for the care of the chimps, as well as continue to make improvements to their living environments.
We first became involved in this issue two years ago when we learned of the desperate plight of these chimpanzees and HSUS’s work to intervene. AAVS was quick to add our support by making an emergency donation and President Sue Leary spoke at a rally in front of NYBC headquarters in October 2015.
“We are so happy for these chimpanzees who have suffered so much,” said Crystal Schaeffer, AAVS Outreach Director. “Stories like this are so gratifying and reflect the impact of our important work.”
To all our members and supporters who made donations and wrote on behalf of the chimpanzees in Liberia, your efforts have made a difference. Thank you!

The effect of temperature on the nonspecific defence system of three strains of juvenile Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus L.)
Anne Louise Langston, R. Hoare, M. Stefansson, M. Mulcahy, R. Fitzgerald, H. Wergeland
The effect of temperature (8, 12, 15 and 18degrees C) on a variety of non-specific defence and haematological parameters was examined in three geographically distinct reared strains (Canadian, Icelandic, Norwegian) of Atlantic halibut. The results indicate that temperature exerts a considerable influence on some blood parameters (packed cell volume and the percentage population of leucocytes in peripheral blood) and on some humoral parameters (serum lysozyme activity and serum protein levels) of halibut. A high temperature of 18degrees C caused a decrease in the number of circulating blood cells and an increase in serum lysozyme levels; effects consistent with those reported within the literature for stress. The different strains of halibut exhibited differing responses with respect to differential counts of peripheral blood lymphocytes and thrombocytes, and to serum protein concentrations, serum lysozyme activity, serum iron content, unsaturated iron binding capacity of serum and O-2(-) production by kidney macrophages.
