Electric Motor Manufacturers List
Both AC and DC electric motors have one general application–powering machinery. In this context, machinery can be anything from a semi-truck to an electric toothbrush.
Electric motors power products in countless industries, including electronics, construction, home and office supplies, appliances (mixer motors, refrigerator motors, etc.), automotive manufacturing, transportation, and industrial manufacturing. The largest electric motors are used for applications like pipeline compression, ship propulsion, and pumped-storage, while the smallest electric motors can fit inside electric watches.
Electric motors got their start in the 1740s, when a Scottish monk named Andrew Gordon created the first electrostatic device. Around 60 years later, in 1820, French physicist André-Marie Ampère discovered how one can produce a mechanical force by facilitating interactions between two current-carrying wires. He wrote down this principle, and it later became known as Ampère’s Force Law. From his name we also gained the SI base unit of electric current measurement, the ampere or amp.
The year after Ampère discovered Ampère’s Force Law, British scientist Michael Faraday successfully conducted experiments demonstrating this principle. First, he dipped a wire in mercury and attached a permanent magnet to it. Then, he passed a current through the wire. When the current moved through the wire, the wire rotated around the magnet. What this proved was that the current created a circular magnetic field around the wire. In 1822, a man named Peter Barlow conducted a similar, but updated, experiment. During his experiment, he dipped the tips of a star shaped wheel (the Barlow wheel) in mercury as it rotated. His results of his experiment echoed Faraday’s.
Brushless DC Motor – Electric Motor Solutions
Experiments like these established certain principles, like electromagnetic induction, that later scientists and engineers could use as a jumping off point. For example, in 1827, Hungarian priest and scientist ?nyos Jedlik built the first recognizable electric motor–it contained a rotor, stator, and commutator. Several years later, he built a model vehicle that ran using an electric motor. In 1832, British scientist William Sturgeon built the first DC electric motor. In 1834, American blacksmith Thomas Davenport invented a battery-powered electric motor with which he powered small model cars on tracks. Three years after that, Davenport and his wife Emily patented the design for the first electric motor that could be used commercially. In 1840, he used his electric motor to power machine tools and a printing press in order to print his own newspaper on mechanics. This was the first ever newspaper to be printed using electric power. Davenport’s inventions were ingenious, but because batteries were not yet economically viable, he ended up going bankrupt.
Around this same time, German physicist and engineer Moritz von Jacobi created a rotating electric motor with which he could power a small electric boat across a river. In 1871, a Belgian electrical engineer named Zénobe Gramme built the first DC motor that made any money. In 1887, Nikola Tesla invented the AC motor, a product that uses alternating current and does not require a commutator. Around this same time, in 1886, American Frank J. Sprague invented the first non-sparking DC-motor that could keep moving at the same speed, regardless of load. Between 1887 and 1888, Sprague invented electric trolleys, which engineers put into use first in Richmond, Virginia. In 1892, he invented both the electric elevator and designed Chicago’s L system, known more formally as the South Side Elevated Railroad.
During the 20th century, electric motors changed the world. They reduced labor everywhere, from the factory floor to the home, they made machines more efficient, they increased standards of living, they allowed for the production of better products, and they expanded the possibilities of travel. Today, electric motors are an integral part of our lives.
When selecting or designing custom motor products for you, electric motor manufacturers will consider different aspects of your application, including how fast you want your engine to go, how often you will use it, the environment in which you will use it, and load details (weight, location, etc.). Based on those factors, they will decide on AC power vs. DC power, horsepower/watts (power output), RPM (rotations per minute), speed variability vs. fixed rotation speed, and current ratings. Manufacturers can also vary your electric motor products by the number of rotors and stator magnetic poles and sizes. Find out more by going over your application with potential suppliers.
Generally speaking, electric motors consist of a rotor, a stator, windings, an air gap, and a commutator.
In this context, the rotor is a moving part that delivers mechanical power when it moves the shaft. To achieve this turning motion, the rotor is usually designed with built-in current-carrying conductors that interact with the magnetic field generated by the stator. However, in some cases, the rotor carries the magnets while the stator holds the conductors.
Unlike the rotor, the stator does not move. Rather, it is the fixed component of the motor’s electromagnetic circuit. Generally, it consists of a core and either permanent magnets or windings. This core is made up of several thin metal sheets, called laminations, which are used to reduce energy losses.
Windings are coiled wires. When they are wrapped around the core, and after they are energized with current, the purpose of these coils is to form magnetic poles.
Next, the air gap is the distance between the rotor and the stator. The air gap provides most of the low power factor at which motors operate, by increasing and decreasing the magnetizing current as needed. So, because a large air gap has a strong negative effect on a motor’s performance and may present mechanical problems, losses, and noise, the air gap should be as small as possible.
Commutator
Finally, the commutator is a part used to periodically switch current direction between the external circuit and the rotor. It is used with most DC motors and with universal motors. The commutator is composed of a cylinder made up of several metal contacts, or slip rings, segments, and an armature upon which the segments rotate. Two or more electrical contacts, called brushes, make sliding contact with the segments by pressing up against them as they turn, allowing the current to flow through them and reach the rotor.
All electric motors have two basic magnetic field pole configurations from which to choose: salient pole and non-salient pole.
Salient Pole
The magnetic field of a salient-pole machine is generated by a winding wound below the pole face.
Non-Salient Pole
In the case of the non-salient pole machine, also known as a round-rotor machine or a distributed field machine, windings produce a magnetic field while wrapped around pole face slots.
Shaded Pole
A third pole configuration, shaded-pole, delays the pole’s magnetic field phase. To do so, it requires a winding made up of a copper bar or ring, called a shading coil, that goes around a certain part of that pole.
Types by Current Source
AC motors are powered by applied alternating currents. The alternating currents, which moves through coils, creates a rotating magnetic field, which in turn provides torque to an output shaft. They do not require a commutator. Common AC power sources include inverters, generators, and power grids.
DC motors get their power from direct currents. The voltage generated by the currents causes an armature winding to rotate, while a non-rotating armature field frame winding acts as a permanent magnet. Users of DC motors can manipulate their speed by adjusting the field frame current or changing the applied voltage. DC currents are often provided by rectifiers, electric motor vehicles, and batteries.
Universal motors can operate using both alternating and direct currents.
Types by Internal Construction
Brushed motors, sometimes called commutated electric motors, are one of two major types of electric motors, as categorized by internal construction. Brushed motors, which almost always use a direct current, get their name from the commutator, which comes with several brushes. These brushes are always made of a soft conductive material; almost exclusively, manufacturers use carbon, sometimes with copper powder mixed in for improved conductivity. The five main styles of brushed motors are separately-excited motors, DC series wound motors, permanent magnet DC motors, DC compound motors, and DC shunt wound motors.
Brushless motors are more much more efficient than brushed motors, and they are rapidly replacing them. These motors, instead of using brushes, use sensors known as Hall effect sensors, to transfer current. They are made up of a 3-phase coil, a permanent magnet external rotor, drive electronics, and the sensor. A 3-phase coil is a motor element that references another type of motor classification, based on the motor’s means of motion.
Gear motors use gear heads to vary speed.
Electric hub motors are motors built into the hub of a wheel. They directly drive the wheel.
Types by Means of Motion
The most common motor motion classifications include 3-phase motors, single phase motors, linear motors, stepper motors, and 12V motors.
Three-phase electric motors boast both a fairly simple design and high efficiency. Usually a type of induction motor, 3 phase motors function using three alternating currents, which distribute converted mechanical energy.
Single phase motors are another example of induction motor. This time, they use a single, or single phase, motor power source, which is generally an alternating current.
Linear motors provide mechanical energy in a straight, or linear, line. In other words, linear motors provide motion over a single plane.
Stepper motors are a lot like 3-phase synchronous motors. The main distinction between the two is simply that, while 3-phase synchronous motors rotate continuously, stepper motors must continuously start and stop. Stepper motors are common in 3D printers and robots.
12V motors generate motion using twelve volts of electric power, which is standard.
Types by Energy Conversion Method
Lastly, electric motors convert energy differently. Motors are divided thus into synchronous motors, induction motors, electrostatic motors, and servo motors.
Synchronous motors are a type of AC motor. They convert voltage into energy using a passing current and a rotor that move at the same rate. Together, these elements create a rotating magnetic field. Synchronous motors offer their ability to maintain constant speeds while changing torque.
Induction motors, sometimes called asynchronous motors, function using the principle of electromagnetic induction. Basically, they work when an electrical conductor moves through a magnetic field and subsequently produces voltage. Induction motors are less expensive than synchronous motors.
Electrostatic motors work by harnessing the attraction and repulsion of an electric charge. They usually use a lot of power, but they are available as smaller models that use lower voltages. For example, small electrostatic motors are common components of micro-mechanical systems (MEMS).
Servo motors work using servomechanisms (servos) that sense errors and correct them automatically. They also have built-in microcontrollers that allow users to prompt them to move exact numbers of degrees whenever they want. Servo motors are exceptionally small. They are common in robotic actuators, remote-control cars, and hobby aircrafts.
Electric motor products have countless accessories. Examples of common electric motor accessories include phase converters (used to convert AC power into DC power, and vice versa), bearings, fan covers, motor kits, mounting kits, rain shields, brake kits, remote controls, speed/voltage controllers, and conduit boxes.
In the United States, one of the most important set of standards associated with electric motors are those put out by NEMA, or the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. NEMA assigns standardized sizes to different motors, which you can view on the charts they send to manufacturers. Other standard requirements are related to your industry, application, and location. Learn the standards to which your electric motors must adhere by talking to your industry leaders.
If you’re looking for an electric motor, the first thing you need to do is make sure you know your specifications. We recommend, before calling any manufacturers, that you list everything you’re looking for (or not looking for), including your application details, your budget, your delivery deadline, your post-delivery service preferences (installation assistance, tech support, etc.), and your standard requirements. Discussing these points at length with an electric motor company will help you know if you are the right fit for one another.
To find said “right fit,” check out the high-quality manufacturers we have listed on this page. Look over their profiles and webpages to see if they might work for you. Pick out three or four top contenders, then give them each a call to talk about your application. Once you’ve spoken with each of them, compare and contrast your conversations, and pick the one you believe will offer you the best service within your budget and timeframe. Good luck!

What People are saying……..
Media & Speaking Requests
Presidential Political Tidbits~ By Donna Garner
DONNA GARNER - Educator for 33 years and was appointed by President Reagan, Now Activist Writer
From Associated Press:
Gingrich, emphasizing the importance of small donors to his campaign, at a rally Wednesday in Rosemont, Ill.: “We have over 175,000 donors now. Most of them are small. Over 95 percent of our donors give $250 or less.”
THE FACTS: …A more significant number is how much of the money Gingrich raised came in small denominations and how much in big checks.
…the whole calculus leaves out the biggest influence on the Gingrich campaign’s financial fortunes – the group Winning Our Future, an independent super PAC that has been running ads supporting him.
Of that group’s $13.1 million in total contributions, about 75 percent – or $10 million – came from just two people: Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his wife, Miriam. (MyWay.com, AP – 3.16.12, )

In other words, $10 Million (75% of Gingrich’s campaign contributions) is “dirty money,” coming from casino gambling.
Gingrich says he is a true conservative in this Republican race. Would a true conservative want to be indebted to an industry that increases crime, raises personal bankruptcies, increases domestic violence, leads to loss of workdays, and increases child abuse and addiction?
Gingrich may not have to worry about the GOP race for much longer because unconfirmed rumors say that Sheldon and Miriam Adelson are not going to give Gingrich any more campaign contributions. Without those big-time contributions, Gingrich would have a hard time operating on his meager campaign donations from other sources.
Romney has portrayed himself as a Washington outsider in comparison to Santorum who was a Senator. However, the truth has now come out that the place where Romney went to finance his campaign was to the Washington lobbyists to whom he is now indebted.
We do not need another President such as Obama who is tied to the big-money lobbyists and special interest groups.
According to NewsMax.com (3.9.12 — http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/Report-Romney-IsClearFavoriteofWashingtonLobbyists/2012/03/09/id/432074 ), a Reuters analysis has shown that almost 390 registered lobbyists have given more than $1.5 Million to Romneyand/or his Super PAC Restore Our Future.
These include such names from the healthcare and financial sectors as lobbying firm Duane Morris, energy firms Consol Energy and Oxbow Carbon, Charles Black, Jr. (lobbies for AT&T Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc.), Wayne Berman (Pfizer Inc. and Visa Inc.), Ed Rogers (lobbyist for Raytheon Co. and drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline PLC), Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase & Co., accounting firm Ernst & Young LLP, Google and IBM, energy heavyweights Chevron and Exelon, retailer Home Depot, General Electric, and lobbyists for Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (makers of medicines and medical devices, including Medtronic, Merck, Biogen Idec. Inc., and Covidien).
Arlington Heights, Illinois - Friday 3/16. Photo by Steven Munoz/Twitter.
On the other hand, Santorum has taken in less than $20,000 from 18 registered lobbyists and 1 lobbying organization.
Since this last Tuesday (3.13.12) when Santorum won both Alabama and Mississippi, the “blush has come off the rose.” Romney is undergoing financial stress because of his losses to Santorum.
Heretofore, Romney had programmed the American public to believe that he was the most electable; but because Santorum proved that he is the true conservative candidate and that the public likes him better than Romney, the financial spigot leading to Romney has been stymied.
Donors who were betting on Romney’s success now are having second thoughts, and Romney was forced to spend two whole days trying to raise money this week.
Romney himself is worth close to $250 Million, but he evidently had not intended to loan himself any of his own money to run this campaign. (He loaned himself $42 Million in his 2008 Presidential bid.)
In February, Santorum’s grassroots supporters helped him raise $9 Million compared to Romney’s $11.5 Million; but since Romney’s money supply has diminished considerably, he has been forced to cut campaign expenses by flying on a smaller and less luxurious airplane than his 150-seat plane. His campaign is engaging in a cheaper type of voter ID phone polling, and he is trying to utilize free TV coverage more.
UPCOMING PRIMARIES
Puerto Rico votes on Sunday (3.18.12) in its GOP primary and Illinois on Tuesday (3.20.12).
HOW SANTORUM CAN WIN THE DELEGATE COUNT
3.13.12 – From John Yob, a specialist in delegate tracking, who has recently been hired by Rick Santorum:
Romney supporters on the Republican National Committee manipulated the calendar to front-load several of the states that were favorable towards him. That was beneficial to his early lead in the delegate count, however it is problematic for him as the race continues and moves towards less friendly states.
More importantly, the race will eventually move from primaries and caucuses that are often beauty contests to real county and state convention contests where actual delegates to the national convention are elected.
Anyone who knows anything about state conventions knows that the most conservative candidate has a big advantage over a moderate candidate.
Most of the publicly available delegate counts are fundamentally flawed because none of them have taken into account that conservative grassroots activists at county and state conventions will elect more Santorum delegates than a primary or even caucus beauty contest in the same respective state would allocate.
Therefore, the Real Counts are far better than the projected counts and will continue to improve as the National Convention approaches and states elect their actual convention delegates.
The Santorum campaign will keep a tally called the Real Count moving forward. It will be based on the results of both the Real Calendar and the Traditional Calendar.
SANTORUM, THE CONSERVATIVE CHAMPION
As time goes on, it seems clear to me that the big advantage that Romney had because of his huge super PAC has run its course with the American voters who now believe that Santorum is their Conservative Champion.
Because Rick Santorum does not depend upon wealthy and powerful lobbyists to give him campaign money, we grassroots citizens must step up to the plate and help by contributing our donations: https://www.ricksantorum.com/donatenow/?gclid=CLf8jrvh7K4CFchdTAodYDv4IQ
If you are in Dallas, Texas next week and want the opportunity to donate to Rick Santorum and meet him personally please join us at a Texas Sized Welcome for Rick Santorum!!
Next, we must continue to tell our friends and neighbors about Rick Santorum. We can win this election.

The Gay Science
English: Kant’s Joke—Kant wanted to prove, in a way that would dumbfound the common man, that the common man was right: that was the secret joke of this soul. He wrote against the scholars in support of popular prejudice, but for scholars and not for the people. —Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science
The Gay Science [German: Die fröhliche Wissenschaft ("la gaya scienza")], is a book written by Friedrich Nietzsche, first published in 1882. This book features the first occurrence of the famous formulation "God is dead," first in section 108, and then in 125. Section 125 depicts the parable of the madman who is searching for God. He accuses us all of being the murderers of God "'Whither is God?' he cried; 'I will tell you. We have killed him- you and I. All of us are his murderers..."
Title and content
The book's title uses a phrase that was well-known at the time. It was derived from a Provençal expression for the technical skill required for poetry-writing. It had already been used by Emerson and E. S. Dallas and in inverted form by Thomas Carlyle (see dismal science). However, it was first translated into English as The Joyous Wisdom. Nevertheless The Gay Science has become the canonical translation of the title since Walter Kaufmann's version in the 1960's. Kaufmann references The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary (1955) that lists "The gay science (=Pr[ovençal] gai saber): the art of poetry."
In Nietzsche's time, the word "gay" in English was not a euphemism for "homosexual". The homosexual connotation of "gay" did not become widespread until the mid-20th century.
Nietzsche himself comments in Ecce Homo about the poems in the Appendix, saying they were,
written for the most part in Sicily, are quite emphatically reminiscent of the Provençal concept of gaya scienza—that unity of singer, knight, and free spirit which distinguishes the wonderful early culture of the Provençals from all equivocal cultures. The very last poem above all, "To the Mistral", an exuberant dancing song in which, if I may say so, one dances right over morality, is a perfect Provençalism.
This alludes to the birth of modern European poetry that occurred in Provence around the 12th century, whereupon, after the culture of the troubadours fell into almost complete desolation and destruction due to the Albigensian Crusade (1209-1229), other poets in the 14th century ameliorated and thus cultivated the gai saber or gaia scienza. In a similar vein, in Beyond Good and Evil Nietzsche observed that,
love as passion—which is our European speciality—[was invented by] the Provençal knight-poets, those magnificent and inventive human beings of the "gai saber" to whom Europe owes so many things and almost owes itself. (Section 260)
Another indicator of the deficiency of the original translation as The Joyous Wisdom is that the German Wissenschaft never indicates "wisdom", but a propensity toward any rigorous practice of a poised, controlled, and disciplined quest for knowledge, and is typically translated as "science".
The book is usually placed within Nietzsche's middle period, when his work extolled the merits of science, scepticism and intellectual discipline as routes to mental freedom. The affirmation of the Provencal tradition is also one of a joyful affirmation of life.
"God is dead"
This book features the first occurrence of the famous formulation "God is dead," first in section 108, and then in 125. Section 125 depicts the parable of the madman who is searching for God. He accuses us all of being the murderers of God "'Whither is God?' he cried; 'I will tell you. We have killed him- you and I. All of us are his murderers..." THE MADMAN----Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly: "I seek God! I seek God!"---As many of those who did not believe in God were standing around just then, he provoked much laughter. Has he got lost? asked one. Did he lose his way like a child? asked another. Or is he hiding? Is he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage? emigrated?---Thus they yelled and laughed
The madman jumped into their midst and pierced them with his eyes. "Whither is God?" he cried; "I will tell you. We have killed him---you and I. All of us are his murderers. But how did we do this? How could we drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down? Are we not straying, as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us? Do we not need to light lanterns in the morning? Do we hear nothing as yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we smell nothing as yet of the divine decomposition? Gods, too, decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. sect 125 reads: "How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it? There has never been a greater deed; and whoever is born after us---for the sake of this deed he will belong to a higher history than all history hitherto."
Here the madman fell silent and looked again at his listeners; and they, too, were silent and stared at him in astonishment. At last he threw his lantern on the ground, and it broke into pieces and went out. "I have come too early," he said then; "my time is not yet. This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering; it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time; the light of the stars requires time; deeds, though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than most distant stars---and yet they have done it themselves.
It has been related further that on the same day the madman forced his way into several churches and there struck up his requiem aeternam deo. Led out and called to account, he is said always to have replied nothing but: "What after all are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchers of God?"

Hard Times for Golf
I'm probably not the right guy to comment of the state of golf, since I think it's one of the stupidest, most boring sports ever created. But I've seen a couple articles recently confirming my point of view and can't resist passing them along.
This item, from the Washington Post, discusses declining participation (mostly from a business point of view: fewer participants = bad times for sporting goods companies, course developers, etc).
But the business behind one of America's most slow-going, expensive and old-fashioned pastimes has rapidly begun to fall apart. TaylorMade-Adidas Golf, the world's biggest maker of golf clubs and clothes, saw sales nosedive 28 percent last year, its parent company Adidas said Thursday.
"A decline in the number of active players ... caused immense problems in the entire industry, and as a market leader, this hit us particularly hard," Adidas chief executive Herbert Hainer said on a call with analysts.
It's been years since the increasingly unpopular sport of golf plunked into the rough, and the industry now is realizing that it may not be able to ever get out. All the qualities that once made it so elite and exclusive are, analysts say, now playing against it.
The game -- with its drivers, clubs, shoes and tee times -- is expensive both to prepare for and to play. It's difficult, dissuading amateurs from giving it a swing, and time-consuming, limiting how much fans can play. [...]
Even Jack Nicklaus, perhaps the greatest golfer in history, makes a strong argument for why new players aren't flocking to golf.
"I'd like to play a game that can take place in three hours," Nicklaus told CNN in January. "I'd quite like to play a game that I can get some reasonable gratification out of very quickly -- and something that is not going to cost me an arm and a leg."
The number of young people (18-30) playing golf has dropped 35% in the past ten years. Fewer women and minorities are playing as well, and those who play are playing less often.
That drop-off has hit America's greens and links hard. More golf courses closed than opened in 2013 for the eighth straight year, according to the National Golf Foundation. And the number of course closures has sped up, averaging 137 closings every year since 2011, data from golf-industry researcher Pellucid show.
That's the sport from a participation standpoint. As for fans watching the game – well, that's more bad news, with the problem there being that fans seem to be interested only in Tiger Woods not in the game itself, and Tiger looks like he's nearing the end of the line.
Consider these words about Woods from PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem, who spoke with reporters the day before the tournament began at Torrey Pines:
“Candidly, I think when [Woods] tees it up this week, everybody in the world is going to want to see how he’s going to play, because here you have a guy who was so incredibly good for such a long time and he’s struggling out there. [Even] if he’s not winning golf tournaments, people still want to see Tiger Woods play golf. As long as he’s playing, he’s still going to have the same impact.’’
Finchem’s words were equal parts arrogant, insensitive and truthful.
Woods’ presence in the game has made Finchem, the players on the PGA Tour and everyone else surrounding the game countless millions of dollars and opened up endless opportunities for many.
For nearly 20 years, Woods has been a crutch — for Finchem, for TV, for those of us in the news media, for equipment manufacturers and everyone else involved in the game. That crutch is splintering and weakening.
With Woods’ age (39), increasing list of surgeries, swing changes, new coaches and health-related tournament withdrawals, we are fast approaching a time when we need to come to this realization: If we like golf, we had better get used to taking interest in the PGA Tour pros out there who are not named Tiger Woods.
I wonder how long people will continue to watch Tiger Woods suck. The PGA and the TV people who are deeply invested of course hope that this strange fascination will continue indefinitely, but I suspect fans will tire of it fairly soon.

Cattle Mutilations and more with David Perkins #100
January 8, 2021 KateandFahrusha Leave a comment
David Perkins, boots on the ground investigator of the anomalous in Colorado and New Mexico.
To listen, Click HERE.
On February 4, 2020 Fahrusha welcomed researcher David Perkins to “Shattered Reality Podcast” to speak about his firsthand experiences with cattle mutilations and related phenomena. Firsthand experiences are most frequently the best accounts to pay attention to when investigating anomalous phenomena and Perkins has been on the scene for over forty years.
Perkins has been a member of an intentional community called Libre in Colorado since the late 60s. He built two houses on the mountain there. There were then and are still today cattle mutilations happening in that area. Every time he thought he had the solution to the phenomena, it would shift and change as if to taunt him or prove him wrong. He is still investigating today. We spoke of the roles of black helicopters, UFOs and drones in conjunction with cattle mutilations.
Today David Perkins is highly persuaded by the work of British ecologist James Lovelock regarding the Gaia Hypothesis which says that Our Mother Earth is conscious and a self-regulating system. David thinks that many unexplained phenomena could be viewed as unrecognized forces of Nature. Fahrusha added in that the Earth and the Sun might likely be communicating with each other and referred to a blog post she wrote a few years ago.
Perkins and his late wife Cari Seawell at Santa Clara Pueblo investigating a cattle mutilation some years ago.
Fahrusha thanks audio engineer Bill M. for his tireless service to make “Shattered Reality Podcast” possible and to currently absent co-host Kate Valentine for her support.
Shattered Reality Podcast welcomes and answers all polite comments. If you would like to participate in our Listeners’ Corner, please contact fahrusha@fahrusha.com. Fahrusha can read your account on the show or you can speak it yourself. You can be anonymous or give your full name or just a nickname. It’s all good.

Hudson Valley Anomalies with WHAM #93
October 4, 2020 KateandFahrusha Leave a comment
Mysterious Beauty: Living with the Paranormal in The Hudson Valley. by CS Matthews, Ph.D.
On October 1, 2019, Fahrusha was pleased to speak with Dr. C. S. Matthews about her exciting new book Mysterious Beauty: Living With the Paranormal in The Hudson Valley. She is the sometimes co-host of the podcast “The Church of Mabus” and teaches at a college in the Hudson Valley.
Our fascinating discussion covered a lot of ground, from the geology of the region to Native American beliefs and history through the Dutch and British settlers to the present time. In reading the book, Fahrusha was horrified to discover that she was born on or near the site of a massacre of Native Americans by some renegade Dutch in what is now Jersey City!
What is very wonderful about this book is that it gives people living in the Hudson Valley from Manhattan to above Albany (and those curious and intrepid travellers from points unknown) a tool to begin their quest for the anomalous right here in our own backyard. Everything from ancient earthworks, to present day cryptids and UFOs can be found in the glorious Hudson Valley, along with the world’s best apples.
This episode is a natural follow on to our last episode with Susan Demeter St. Clair in which we touched upon some of the same subjects involving the Great Lakes region of Canada and N.Y. State.
Professor WHAM, the author of Mysterious Beauty
“Shattered Reality Podcast” wishes to acknowledge sometimes contributor Stephanie Quick for introducing us to Professor WHAM.
We appreciate hearing about our listeners’ anomalous accounts. If you wish to be included in the “Listeners’ Corner” either as an on-air guest or would like to have your written account read, please contact fahrusha@fahrusha.com.

Rupert Sheldrake- Science and Spiritual Practices #81
February 7, 2020 KateandFahrusha Leave a comment
Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, Author of 12 books including Science and Spiritual Practices:Transformative Experiences and their Effects on our Bodies, Brains and Health
On January 15, 2019, Fahrusha was very pleased to welcome Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, to “Shattered Reality Podcast” to speak about his new book Science and Spiritual Practices: Transformative Experiences and their Effects on our Bodies, Brains and Health and other related topics. We began our conversation with an explanation of the hypothesis of morphic resonance in biology.
We continued onward to expound on the seven rather universal spiritual practices that can have transformative effects on one’s mental and physical health. Most basic of these practices is meditation, the sort which can silence the mind’s chatter and promote joy. Next comes gratitude which can be practiced as prayer, grace before meals, or simply earnestly thanking individuals for small or large acts that they have done.
“More than human” is the practice in which a person relates to the 99.9999% percent of the Universe which is not human or about human beings. This is probably my favorite. A sub-category is relating to plants as living beings. These first four practices can be accomplished solo, but Sheldrake is clear about the way in which doing things in community with others brings added benefits to the practitioner.
Among the group practices are the practice of rituals with other humans, although it is possible to do some rituals solo. Singing, chanting and music have amazing effect on the human being and the benefits are multiplied when groups participate together. Going on pilgrimages and visiting holy places can be done alone or with a group. The practice of walking meditation is one that bridges both the category of meditation and pilgrimage.
Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, is the author of 13 books including his newest: Ways to Go Beyond and Why They Work: Seven Spiritual Practices in a Scientific Age.

Panspermia Investigator Professor Milton Wainwright #48

Professor Milton Wainwright, Ph.D. investigator into panspermia.
On May 9, 2017, Kate Valentine and Fahrusha were proud to present Professor Milton Wainwright, Ph.D. of Sheffield University who has done remarkable experiments concerning the theory of panspermia. Panspermia is an age old concept which had new life breathed into it by astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle and cosmologist Chandra Wickaramasinghe. According to Wikipedia, panspermia is the hypothesis that life exists throughout the Universe, distributed by meteoroids, asteroids, comets, planetoids, and also by spacecraft in the form of unintended contamination by microorganisms. Neopanspermia is the proposition that it is happening currently as well. This is not to be confused with panpsychism which proposes that everything in the Universe is conscious on some level.
Professor Wainwright has done some very amazing experiments discovering life forms in the upper atmosphere (25+ miles up) that are heretofore unknown on Earth and rather too heavy to have floated up from the surface. He has devised an ingenious method to prevent contamination. He and his graduate students have analyzed his findings with two types of electron microscopes and are currently hoping to find some scientists around the world to replicate his experiments. Interestingly, physicist Stephen Hawking has mentioned panspermia as the possible way that life has been spread across the Universe.
Professor Wainwright can be reached by visiting his website miltonwainwright.com/contact/.

Michael Peter Langevin, shamanic practitioner
http://atlanticcoastufos.com/SHATTERED/2-2-2016.mp3On February 2, 2016, Michael Peter Langevin, an expert in South American Shamanism, joined Kate Valentine and Fahrusha for a lively discussion. He is the author of three books, Spiritual Business, Secrets of the Ancient Incas, and Secrets of the Amazon Shamans and the former editor/publisher of Magical Blend Magazine.
We cover Groundhog’s Day, the meaning of Shamanism, herbal medicines, symbolic practices, and bringing Shamanism into your daily life through mindful traditions. Michael Peter tells us of how he entered this field through his family history and business of undertaking and his first trip to Macchu Picchu. The importance of Nature and its creatures is discussed as is the use of hallucinogenic plants and trance states.
February 2 is Groundhog’s Day, Candlemas and Imbolc. It is also known as a cross-quarters because it is half way between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. At this time of year one can clearly see that the days are getting a bit longer.

Dr. Guy McPherson “Nature Bats Last” #23
Dr. Guy McPherson, Professor Emeritus and co-host of “Nature Bats Last”
http://atlanticcoastufos.com/SHATTERED/1-12-2016.mp3On January 12, 2016 Kate Valentine and Fahrusha were honored to welcome Dr. Guy McPherson of the archived radio show “Nature Bats Last” to Shattered Reality Podcast. Dr. McPherson is a conservation biologist who has written numerous books, including most recently: Extinction Dialogs: How to Live with Death in Mind (with Carolyn Baker), Going Dark, and Walking Away From Empire: A Personal Journey.
This episode may be disturbing to many, because our guest causes us to consider the annihilation of homo sapiens and other species due to the ravages that civilization has wrought upon the biosphere of our dear Mother Earth. This conclusion does not arise from one single cause but a variety of contributing factors at play including burgeoning population, temperature rise, methane release, burning of fossil fuels, nuclear meltdowns and death of the oceans to name a few. It is quite important to listen to this, especially if you are a person who is deferring your joy to a time in the future when you believe things will be better for you. NOW is the best time, it is always now, so don’t postpone happiness.
“If you really think the environment is less important than the economy, try counting your money while holding your breath.” ~ Dr. Guy McPherson
We conclude this episode with a listener experience written by Adriana and narrated by Fahrusha. Adriana has had two major episodes of bi-location and one out-of-body experience, all in her native Romania.

contamination and decontamination ›
Dynamics of radioiodine accumulation on soil and reconstruction of doses from iodine exposure on the territory contaminated after the Chernobyl accident
contamination and decontamination
Author: Makhon’ko K.P., Kozlova E.G., Volokitin A.A.
Reference: journal “РАДИАЦИЯ И РИСК“ (Radiation and risk), 1996
Keywords: deposition by typhoon, soil surface, exposure dose, 137cs, 131i, 132te
Abstract: The paper presents distributions of external doses and absorbed doses from thyroid internal exposure on the territory of the former USSR due to exposure of 131I and 132I released into the environment as a result of the Chernobyl accident. Dose assessments were based on measurements of daily depositions of 131I and 132Te from the atmosphere made by SPA Typhoon. The main body of available measurement data were added with calculations of 131I depositions from space-time correlations and results of measurements of total p-activity, 137Cs etc. Based on these data calculations were made of 131I and 132I accumulation on soil surface, exposure dose rate and exposure dose from y-irradiation 131I and 132I from the soil surface, and absorbed thyroid doses from incorporated 131I and 132I. Estimated errors in calculations are also presented. Besides, the paper includes ganerated maps of 131I contamination of the soil by 15 May 1986 and distribution of external and internal thyroid exposure doses from incorporated 131I and 132I accumulated by 1 september 1986. The dominant radiation load from 131I and 132I has been shown to be due to internal thyroid exposure to incorporated 131I. Given no iodine prophylaxis and restrictions in the diet of the residents, it could have been three orders of magnitude higher the external exposure doses. In different points of the former USSR, the maximum contamination was reported on different dates from 28 April to 3 May 1986. By estimation, of the major cities the highest radiation loads due to 131I occired in Gomel where by 1 June the exposure dose was 134 mR and the thyroid exposure dose was 166 cSv. The highest radiation loads from 132Te + 132I were in Kiev where by 1 June 1986 the thyroid exposure dose was 720 |xSv (72 mrem) and the exposure dose – 965 mR.

Don't Mess With Switzerland
By Michael Maiello on Sat, 02/05/2011 - 3:20pm | Politics
Former President, and some would say war criminal George W. Bush cancelled an appearance at a Swiss human rights gala because he feared being arrested. So now Bush joins Henry Kissinger in the ranks of Americans who don't feel that they can safely travel to or even through certain countries, not for fear of assassination or kidnapping, but for fear of arrest and trial.

The Private Internet
By Michael Maiello on Sat, 01/22/2011 - 3:17pm | Technology
This is outside my usual subject matter so forgive me if it's trite or has been done before, but I've had a couple of Internet experiences lately that have really driven home for me how much things have changed. When I started using the Internet back at the end of high school (around 1993) it was a bunch of bulletin boards with text interfaces. It probably wasn't a commerce thing for me until around 1998/99 (making me a late adopter, I know, but for awhile I got an employee discount at a book, movie and video store so why Amazon?) Throughout, there was a sense of the public square to the

Happy Gulf War Day

Maybe that's a flip way to say it, but the one thing I remember most about the first Gulf War was all of the hyperbole around it. Saddam Hussein was Hitler. Kuwait was Poland. If we didn't stop him then, we'd never be able to stop him as he rampaged throughout the region, taking over Saudi Arabia and Iran in the process. Saddam Hussein had, we were told again and again, the fourth largest army in the world.

Silly, Silly Other Countries

Every now and then Atrios has a short post that says something like "Silly, Silly, Japan - hostile to immigration." His point, so much as it needs explanation, is how often we criticize other countries for acting stupidly and making obvious mistakes that only serve to make life worse abroad than it is here at home, where everything is great.

Whiny, Whiny, Centrists
The mushy middle has spoken and the bipartisanship that we saw during the extraordinarily productive lame duck congressional session just won’t do. Yes, that’s right. The very people who have been agitating for both parties to “reach across the aisle” are not happy with the way in which it was done.

Meanwhile, back over at TPMCafe, Jon Taplin makes an interesting argument in his post "Merchants Of Fear." Two, actually. The first is that some people, especially peddlars of gold and survivalist rations, are purposefully overselling the state of American decline in order to make a buck. Granted. But then there's this:

Assange, Irony and Secrets
By Michael Maiello on Sun, 12/19/2010 - 5:23pm | World Affairs
I agree that hearing Julian Assange's lawyers outrage that leaked information pertaining to the rape charges against him should have never been made public is funny. I also agree with David Seaton that politics is politics and that anything that makes Assange look like a hypocrite is bad news for him. In the game he's playing image is important. You can't be for the release of all secrets except for your own. All absolutists find their petards hoisted sooner

Future of business travel in doubt as virus upends work life
BEIJING: For the lucrative business travel industry, Brian Contreras represents its worst fears.
A partner account executive at a US tech firm, Contreras was used to traveling frequently for his company. But nine months into the pandemic, he and thousands of others are working from home and dialing into video conferences instead of boarding planes.
Contreras manages his North American accounts from Sacramento, California, and doesn’t expect to travel for work until the middle of next year. Even then, he is not sure how much he will need to travel.
“Maybe it’s just the acceptance of the new normal. I have all of the resources necessary to be on the calls, all of the communicative devices to make sure I can do my job,” he said. “There’s an element of of face-to-face that’s necessary, but I would be OK without it.”
That trend could spell big trouble for hotels, airlines, convention centers and other industries that rely so heavily on business travelers like Contreras.
Work travel represented 21 percent of the $8.9 trillion spent on global travel and tourism in 2019, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council.
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian recently suggested business travel might settle into a “new normal” that is 10 percent to 20 percent lower than previously.
“I do think corporate travel is going to come back faster than people suspect. I just don’t know if it will be come back to the full volume,” Bastian said. Delta’s business travel revenue is down 85 percent.
Dubai-based MBC Group, which operates 18 television stations, says it’s unlikely employees will travel as often once the pandemic ends because they’ve proven they don’t need to. “We have managed to deliver projects and negotiate deals very successfully, though remotely,” MBC spokesman Mazen Hayek said. MBC has reduced trips by more than 85 percent, Hayek said.
Amazon, which told it employees to stop traveling in March, says it has saved nearly $1 billion in travel expenses so far this year. The online shopping giant, with more than 1.1 million employees, is the second-largest employer in the US.
At Southwest Airlines, CEO Gary Kelly said while overall passenger revenue is down 70 percent, business travel — normally more than one-third of Southwest’s traffic — is off 90 percent.
“I think that’s going to continue for a long time. I’m very confident it will recover and pass 2019 levels, I just don’t know when,” Kelly said.
US hotels relied on business travel for around half their revenue in 2019, or closer to 60 percent in big cities like Washington, according to Cindy Estis Green, the CEO of hospitality data firm Kalibri Labs.
Peter Belobaba, who teaches airline management at MIT, said business travel is down partly because some people are afraid to fly and partly because companies fear liability if employees contract COVID-19 while traveling for work.
Companies have also reined in travel because times are lean. ExxonMobil cut business travel in February because of falling global demand for oil.
Those who want to travel may also be limited by travel restrictions, Belobaba added. Last month, Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath observed a mandatory 14-day quarantine in China after flying in from Sweden for the Beijing Auto Show.
Polestar, an electric car brand jointly owned by Sweden’s Volvo and China’s Geely, has tried to limit travel for environmental reasons. But the 14-day quarantine has restricted travel even further, said Kiki Liu, its head of communications.
The cutback in travel has been a boon for teleconferencing services. Zoom said it had 370,200 customer businesses with at least 10 employees at the end of July, more than triple the number it had at the end of April.
But for some workers, teleconferencing can’t replace being there in person.
Rebecca Lindland, an automotive consultant and founder of Rebecca Drives, used to travel 38 weeks each year for test drives and auto shows. This year, she didn’t fly from March until September. Test drives have been cut back to regional events, so attendees don’t have to travel as far.
Lindland misses the downtime air travel gave her, and she’s confident she can return to the skies safely. She wears a mask, and even before the pandemic she always carried Lysol wipes and hand sanitizer.
“I’ve been wiping down my tray tables since 1985,” she said with a laugh.
Sam Clarke, an assistant professor in the college of business at California State University San Marcos, agrees that some in-person events — like trade shows — will still be important in the future. But he believes new kinds of business travel will also emerge.
Lockdowns have taught employees how to adapt to different work environments, he said, so hotels, airlines and even cruise ships should beef up their connectivity and cater to business travelers.
Late last month, Marriott introduced flexible options aimed at business travelers, including one-day stays with an evening check-out.
Clarke also expects some companies will flip their travel. Instead of letting a few executives travel a lot, he said, companies could let most employees work from home and fly them all back to their headquarters once a year.
Some businesses are already changing the way their work is done. Cynthia Kay and Co., a media production company based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, used to send its seven employees around the country to make videos for clients like Siemens.
When travel came to a halt in March, the company invested in proprietary software and sent iPads and other equipment to clients so it could coach them through their own video shoots, President Cynthia Kay said.
As a result, the company’s sales are down only 15-20 percent even though its travel spending has plunged 75 percent.
Still, Kay and her staff were eager to get back on the road once they felt they could do that safely. Kay began traveling again last month.

Deputy PM describes Nguyen Dynasty archives as priceless
Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam has described all archives kept at the National Archives Centre IV, based in Da Lat city of the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong, as priceless assets of the nation.

He made the remark while examining the preservation of woodblocks from the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945) – part of the Memory of the World Register – in Lam Dong on December 20.
Dang Thanh Tung, Director of the State Records and Archives Department of Vietnam under the Ministry of Home Affairs, said the National Archives Centre IV, established in 2006, is tasked with managing the woodblocks of the Nguyen Dynasty and other archives of the central and Central Highlands regions. It is currently preserving 34,619 woodblocks from the period.
The department has successfully applied modern techniques in cleaning up the woodblocks. It has also devised solutions to improve the preservation environment and archive restoration.
Pointing out difficulties in preserving the woodblocks, Tung said they are being kept in rooms designed for preserving paper, tape, and dish archives. Meanwhile, the volume of such items is substantial, which feature reverse carvings written in Han Nom (old Chinese-like characters of Vietnam), so it will take much time and effort to translate them.
Deputy PM Dam said that as these archives are priceless assets, it is necessary to step up publicising them for all to see.
He asked archivists to promptly digitalise the woodblocks and other archives. They should also pay attention to applying traditional preservation and restoration methods, aside from modern solutions, and invite experts and investors to the work.
The woodblocks of the Nguyen Dynasty helped to record official literature and history, as well as classical and historical books. They were included in the Memory of the World Register in 2009.

Wetherell, Jessica, Melendez, Josue W., & Zuercher, Gerald L. “Bat Surveys in Eastern Iowa: Simultaneous Stability and Change.” Poster presentation for the Chlapaty Research Fellowship Program, University of Dubuque, 2013.
Abstract: North American bats (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) are often underrepresented in conservation and management plans due to inadequate current information. The recent spread of white-nose syndrome (WNS) has raised concerns for bats throughout the eastern and mid-western United States. WNS was first detected in Iowa during the winter of 2011-2012. There are nine species of bats recorded for Iowa. This includes Myotis lucifugus (little brown bat) which has been severely impacted by WNS at some locations, the Federally Endangered Myotis sodalis (Indiana bat), Nycticeius humeralis (evening bat) which is “Threatened” within Iowa, and Myotis septentrionalis (northern myotis) which is a “Species of Special Concern” within Iowa. We sampled bat communities at Mines of Spain Recreational Area, a state park along the Mississippi River, between June and August 2013. This location also was sampled during the same time period of 2012. Mist nets were set up before sunset and left in place until one hour after the last bat was captured. Overall, eight of nine potential Iowa bat species were captured with little brown bats being the most common species during both sampling efforts. During the 2012 survey, a single Nycticeius humeralis was detected in Mines of Spain. During the 2013 survey, a suspected Myotis sodalis was captured. Perimyotis subflavus (tricolored bat) was not captured during 2012 but was captured during 2013. While little brown bats were the most common species during both surveys, other changes in community composition were documented including an increase in bat species diversity between 2012 and 2013 despite a decrease in captured individuals. Bats are important components of local biodiversity; we suggest continuing bat surveys in eastern Iowa.

In our turtle sampling at Nine-mile Island in Pool 12 in the Upper Mississippi River, painted turtles are the dominant species by number. While many captured turtles are recaptures, many of them are also caught only once, which suggests differing movement patterns. In an effort to better understand the type of habitat use and movement patterns of these turtles we used radio-telemetry to track three (3) turtles over a period of two months. Hoop nets were used to capture these turtles in a backwater portion of Nine-mile Island, then radio transmitters were attached to their carapace, and the turtles were released into the backwater they were captured in. All three turtles showed similar movement patterns in that each of them would stay in one small region for several days then moved to another nearby area. Total distance moved by the turtles in the tracking period was variable.

Abstract: Water quality is an extremely important driver for the ecological processes that support life and influence biodiversity. Land use has a major influence on water quality, with some of the highest impact activities often associated with agriculture and waste disposal. During the past year grab and automated water samples were taken upstream (above landfill) and downstream (below the landfill) to characterize the water quality impacts of land use on the South Fork of Catfish Creek, a tributary of the Mississippi River. This stretch of Catfish Creek allows for an investigation of the impacts of land use and runoff as is adjacent to multiple land uses including both landfill and agricultural lands and was monitored during both base flow and rain-induced runoff events. Significant differences between water qualities characteristics were noted between the differing flow conditions. The samples were analyzed for suspended particulate matter (SPM), various phosphorus forms, nitrates, and heavy metals. Hydrographs showed the relation to changes in concentrations of phosphorus, metals, and sediment change with the flow levels during storm runoff events. Both our sampling sites, above and below the landfill, held levels of phosphorus that exceeded the EPA’s recommendation for ecoregion VII, likely a result of high amounts of agricultural land use in the study watershed. However the form of phosphorus varied between the sites during runoff events in that the upstream sites had more sediment bound P than downstream. This likely results from storage in the stream of sediment bound P as the velocity slows down and the sediment falls out of suspension, which holds long term implications on nutrients storage and transport in this system. Metal concentrations studied show that the holding (retention) pond have much lower concentrations of metals than does the stream – both before and after passing the ponds. As the downstream concentrations of these metals in nearly all cases are similar in concentration than the upstream water it seems very apparent that the ponds, or groundwater flow, are not contributing these potential leachate components into the stream during base flow conditions. Our results indicate that the agricultural lands are likely impacting Catfish Creek landfill with respect to nutrient loading, however the landfill is not adversely impacting the South Fork of Catfish Creek with respect to the analyses examined.

Abstract::This research project entails working with a joint partnership between the City of Dubuque and IBM Research on the Smarter Discards Pilot Study. The purpose of this research has many concepts, but my main focus areas were with diversion strategies from the landfill. It was also to improve Dubuque residents’ awareness of the importance and opportunities for more effective discard management practices. There is an online portal that will allow residents to view and analyze their “behavior” with discarding materials. By increasing public awareness and further opportunities for residents to participate in curbside collection of recyclables, food scraps, yard scraps, and trash, we are trying to provide further opportunities for Dubuque to become a more sustainable and prosperous city. There will be RFID tags installed onto recycling and trash bins to collect and transmit data pertaining to physical amounts that are set out for curbside collection each week. This allowed us to analyze weekly performance for household’s trash to recyclables ratio, landfill diversion, and cost savings. Along with data collection on trash and recycling bins, we also created a Smarter Discards survey asking residents in this program seven recycling questions, seven behavior questions, and open ended questions for participants to leave any comments or suggestions they chose. Shown in these graphs are responses from these participants about the Smarter Discards Pilot Study.

Abstract: In Iowa, southern flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans) are considered a “Species of Special Concern”. This stems mainly from a lack of information about the ecology of southern flying squirrels within the state. Students at the University of Dubuque have been studying this species at Mines of Spain Recreation Area (MoSRA) in eastern Iowa for several years. Beginning in August, 2011 flying squirrels have been fitted with telemetry transmitters in an effort to better understand their spatial needs and movement patterns within the park. Transmitters were affixed to ten flying squirrels which were captured from different parts of the park. The goals were to: 1) determine their locations on a regular basis (usually nightly); 2) calculate home ranges and average daily movement distances; 3) compare between individuals to evaluate whether spatial needs are consistent throughout the park; and 4) determine whether or not females occupy different spatial ranges from male squirrels. While a few flying squirrels have yielded only a few locations, most flying squirrels were routinely located for several weeks each. It appears that the spatial needs of both male and female squirrels changes through time. These data hopefully will yield a better understanding of flying squirrel ecology.

Southern flying squirrels, Glaucomys volans, are a “species of concern” in Iowa. Within Iowa, they are considered “uncommon” with an “unknown” population trend. This assessment appears driven by a lack of information for the species. While their reported distribution in Iowa includes all but the extreme northwest corner, there are relatively few records of the species for the state. Beginning in early June 2012, we surveyed southern flying squirrels along four transects within Mines of Spain Recreation Area (MoSRA), a state park located in Dubuque County, Iowa. These transects also were sampled in 2011. We used Ugglan multi-capture live-traps, baited with peanut butter mixed with raisins, which were placed on trees approximately 5-meters above ground level. Traps were checked each morning, for five consecutive days, every other week. To date, 18 flying squirrels have been captured and marked with PIT (Passive Integrated Transponder) tags. Capture rates for 2012 were lower than for 2011. Also, patterns of capture success differed between years; the highest capture success for 2012 comes from the transect with the lowest capture success in 2011. We will summarize our capture data for 2012 and compare to previous years.

Abstract: North American bats, (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae), are important components of biodiversity that are often underrepresented in conservation and management plans because of a lack of information on populations status and habitat requirements. Bats are important components to healthy ecosystems as well as human economies. North American bats are insectivores whose diets often include both human-disease vectors and damaging agricultural pests. There are nine species of bats recorded for Iowa. This includes the Federally Endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), the evening bat (Nycticeius humeralis) which is “Threatened” within Iowa, and the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) which is a “Species of Special Concern” within Iowa. We sampled bat communities at five locations within Dubuque County, Iowa including a state park (Mines of Spain Recreational Area), three county parks (Bankston Park, White Water Canyon Wildlife Area, Swiss Valley Nature Preserve), and a privately managed property (Wolter Property). Mist nets were set up before sunset and left in place until one hour after the last bat was captured. Overall, seven of the nine potential bat species were captured with little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) being the most common species. Variation in both total number of bats captured and number of species captured occurred between sites. Also, the sampled bat communities at each site varied temporally. With the presence of White-Nose Syndrome confirmed from caves in eastern Iowa, our data provide a baseline against which impacts from the disease can be compared. We suggest continuing the surveys of bat communities in eastern Iowa.

Abstract: In Northeast Iowa, two cold-water streams, Catfish Creek and Little Maquoketa River in Dubuque County are stocked with three trout species (rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss; brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis; brown trout, Salmo trutta) and fished relatively heavily by anglers. The richness of species and diversity of the streams have been an ongoing study for the past five years by the University of Dubuque to measure stream health and inter-annual variations. This summer, both streams were sampled using electro-shocking once a week for eight weeks. The white sucker (Catostomus commersonii) is the most populous fish in both of these streams, and its movement patterns have been studied very little in Eastern Iowa. Three adult white suckers were tagged with radio telemetry tags in Catfish Creek and tracked over the course of three weeks in late summer. The white suckers were mostly stationary, with only short inter-pool movements, except for the occurrence of one large movement near the end of the study. Catfish Creek yielded more fish, with higher diversity and richness than the Little Maquoketa River.

PI-88 is Australian cancer therapeutics and biotechnology company Progen’s most advanced compound within its oncology pipeline. Historically, it is a new antiangiogenic therapeutic currently in multiple international Phase II clinical trials under an Investigational New Drug (IND) Application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). PI-88 has shown a good safety and tolerability profile in numerous preclinical and clinical studies, with promising signs of efficacy in humans emerging from the clinical program. The current Phase II clinical program includes investigation of PI-88 for lung cancer, (NSCLC), primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), multiple myeloma and melanoma (for which PI-88 has received Orphan Drug status from the US FDA). PI-88’s novel mode of action indicates that it may show patient benefit across many cancer types.
Trials of multiple therapies have recently validated angiogenesis as a target in oncology. The effective inhibition of angiogenesis is likely to require a multi-targeted approach. However, inhibiting angiogenesis might promote metastasis, therefore new anti-angiogenic therapies might need to concurrently control metastasis. A multi-target and novel antiangiogenic/antimetastatic approach, combined with a good safety and tolerability profile, is a key differentiator between PI-88 and other antiangiogenic investigational drugs based on the evidence to date. It may well provide a competitive advantage over targeted agents that rely on only a single mode of action.
The major issues for the treatment of cancer remain: the need to attack the growth of the primary (original) tumour, to inhibit the establishment and spread of secondary tumours (metastasis). PI-88 has been demonstrated to address both of these issues simultaneously, by utilising the mechanism of heparan sulfate mimicry. PI-88 retards the growth of primary tumours by inhibiting new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) in three ways. The first is heparan sulfate mimicry, which causes inhibition of heparanase, and prevents the release of angiogenic growth factors from the extracellular matrix (ECM). The second is the interaction with angiogenic growth factors VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor), FGF-1 (Fibroblast Growth Factor -1) and FGF-2, which reduces their functional activity, as PI-88 binds with high (nanomolar) affinity to these growth factors. Thirdly, PI-99 stimulates the release of Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI), an endogenous protein that has anti-angiogenic and anti-coagulation properties. Inhibition of heparanase and stimulation of TFPI release are also jointly responsible for the antimetastatic activity of PI-88.

CONCORDAT 1784
Between The Scottish Bishops and Dr. Samuel Seabury
Francis L. Hawks and William Stevens Perry, eds., Documentary History of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America: Connecticut. Vol. II (New. York: James Pott, Publisher, 1864), 249-251.
In the name of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, one God, Blessed for ever Amen.
The wise and gracious providence of this merciful God having put it into the hearts of the Christians of the Episcopal persuasion in Connecticut, in North America, to desire that the blessings of a free, valid, and purely ecclesiastical Episcopacy might be communicated to them, and a Church regularly formed in that part of the western world, on the most ancient and primitive model; and application having been made for this purpose by the Rev. Doctor Samuel Seabury, Presbyter in Connecticut, to the Right Rev. the Bishops of the Church in Scotland, the said Bishops having taken this proposal into their serious consideration, most heartily concurred to promote and encourage the same as far as lay in their power, and, accordingly, began the pious and good work recommended to them, by complying with the request of the clergy in Connecticut, and advancing the same Dr. Samuel Seabury to the high order of the Episcopate, at the same time earnestly praying that this work of the Lord, thus happily begun, might prosper in his hand, till it should please the great and glorious Head of the Church to increase the number of Bishops in America, and send forth more such labourers into that part of His harvest. Animated with this pious hope, and earnestly desirous to establish a bond of peace and holy communion between the two Churches, the Bishops of the Church in Scotland, whose names are underwritten having had full and free conference with Bishop Seabury, after his consecration and advancement as aforesaid, agreed with him on the following Articles which are to serve as a Concordate, or bond of union, between the Catholic remainder of the ancient Church of Scotland, and the now rising Church in Connecticut.
ARTICLE I.
They agree in thankful receiving, and humbly and heartily embracing the whole doctrine of the Gospel as revealed and set forth in the Holy Scriptures, and it is their earnest and united desire to maintain the analogy of the common faith once delivered to the saints, and happily preserved in the Church of Christ through His Divine power and protection, Who promised that the gates of hell should never prevail against it.
ARTICLE II.
They agree in believing this Church to be the mystical body of Christ, and of which He alone is the head and supreme Governor, and that under Him the chief ministers or managers of the affairs of this spiritual society are those called Bishops, whose exercise of their sacred office being independent of all lay powers, it follows, of consequence, that their spiritual authority and jurisdiction cannot be affected by any lay deprivation.
ARTICLE III.
They agree in declaring that the Episcopal Church in Connecticut is to be in full communion with the Episcopal Church in Scotland, it being their sincere resolution to put matters on such a footing as that the members of both Churches may with freedom and safety communicate with either, when their occasions call them from the one country to the other. Only taking care, when in Scotland, not to hold communion in sacred offices with those persons who, under the pretence of ordination by an English or Irish Bishop, do, or shall take upon them to officiate as clergymen in any part of the National Church of Scotland, and whom the Scottish Bishops cannot help looking upon as schismatical intruders, designed only to answer worldly purposes, and uncommissioned disturbers of the poor remains of that once flourishing Church, which both their predecessors and they have, under many difficulties, laboured to preserve pure and uncorrupted to future ages.
ARTICLE IV.
With a view to this salutary purpose mentioned in the preceding article, they agree in desiring that there may be as near a conformity in worship and discipline established between the two churches, as is consistent with the different circumstances and customs of nations; and in order to avoid any bad effects that might otherwise arise from political differences, they hereby express their earnest wish and firm intention to observe such prudent generality in their public prayers, with respect to these points, as shall appear most agreeable to apostolic rules, and the practice of the Primitive Church.
ARTICLE V.
As the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, or the administration of the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ, is the principal bond of union among Christians, as well as the most solemn act of worship in the Christian Church, the Bishops aforesaid agree in desiring that there may be as little variance here as possible. And though the Scottish Bishops are very far from prescribing to their brethren in this matter, they cannot help ardently wishing that Bishop Seabury would endeavor all he can, consistently with peace and prudence, to make the celebration of this venerable mystery conformable to the most primitive doctrine and practice in that respect, which is the pattern the Church of Scotland has copied after in her Communion Office, and which it has been the wish of some of the most eminent divines of the Church of England, that she also had more closely followed than she seems to have done since she gave up her first reformed liturgy, used in the reign of King Edward VI., between which and the form used in the Church of Scotland, there is no difference in any point, which the Primitive Church reckoned essential to the right ministration of the Holy Eucharist. In this capital article, therefore, the Eucharistic service, in which the Scottish Bishops so earnestly wish for as much unity as possible, Bishop Seabury also agrees to take a serious view of the Communion Office recommended by them and if found agreeable to the genuine standard of antiquity, to give his sanction to it, and by gentle methods of argument and persuasion, to endeavor, as they have done, to introduce it by degrees into practice, without the compulsion of authority on the one side or the prejudice of former custom on the other.
ARTICLE VI.
It is also hereby agreed and resolved upon, for the better answering the purposes of this Concordate, that a brotherly fellowship be henceforth maintained between the Episcopal Churches in Scotland and Connecticut, and such a mutual intercourse of ecclesiastical correspondence carried on, when opportunity offers or necessity requires, as may tend to the support and edification of both Churches.
ARTICLE VII.
The Bishops aforesaid do hereby jointly declare, in the most solemn manner, that in the whole of this transaction they have nothing else in view but the glory of God, and the good of His church; and being thus pure and upright in their intentions, they cannot but hope that all whom it may concern will put the most fair and candid construction on their conduct, and take no offence at their feeble but sincere endeavors to promote what they believe to be the cause of truth and the common salvation. In testimony of their love to which, and in mutual good faith and confidence they have, for themselves and their successors in office, cheerfully put their names and seals to these presents,
at Aberdeen, this 15th day of November, in the year of our Lord 1784.
ROBERT KILGOUR, Bishop and Primus, L.S.
JOHN SKINNER, Bishop, LS.
ARTHUR PETRIE, Bishop, L.S.
SAMUEL SEABURY, Bishop, L.S.

Understanding the unseen
by Nicholas P. Money Comments

History, according to the heartfelt judgement of a young scholar in Alan Bennett’s marvellous play The History Boys “[is] just one fuckin’ thing after another.” Biology is a bit like this, because evolution works with a single set of raw materials within the constraints imposed by the planet’s environmental conditions. Every cell is surrounded by a lipid membrane, encodes its information in nucleic acids, and manufactures proteins. Every cell is powered like a battery and uses the electrical current carried by ions to import food, signal to its neighbours, and excrete waste products. At the same time, birds are different from bacteria because biomolecules can be arranged in an immense number of combinations, and sufficient time has elapsed to shuffle the molecules to suit every accommodation on earth. There is a tussle here, between the picture of life drawn from the viewpoint of thermodynamics and the experience of nature afforded anyone walking in the woods or looking at a compost heap with a hand lens. Both views are correct: sameness at the level of life’s essence, variety in its manifestation.
Human comprehension of biology has always been distorted by our innate occupation with organisms that are roughly the same size as us, and scientists have believed, until very recently, that organisms of our size are the most important ones for understanding life. Before the seventeenth century, the obvious impediment was our blindness to things smaller than fleas. The slight magnification of insects by Galileo’s friends at the Accademia dei Lincei – using a modified telescope – was nonetheless revelatory and soon, with the evolution of the microscope, the universe of microorganisms was laid bare. Prospects for intellectual recalibration began with these inventions, but the microscopic didn’t bleed into popular consciousness until the link between germs and disease was established in the nineteenth century. During my lifetime we have learned that a far greater repository of biological diversity exists among the unicellular organisms and the viruses than we find throughout the animal and plant kingdoms. Yet even in the twenty-first century the majority of professional scientists are preoccupied with macrobiology. This is a problem for science and for our species.
Ecology cannot be taught any more without considering the importance of microorganisms, and this is a very good thing indeed.”
Ecologists have exemplified this tension between the macro and the micro of biology. For more than 60 years, ecologists have been interested in understanding how the biodiversity within different ecosystems is determined. Throughout the twentieth century, the number of plant and animal species was viewed as the primary metric of biodiversity. Plant ecologists looked at the number of plant species as well as the distribution of different types of plants in particular settings, and developed models of productivity to explain how ecosystems worked. Animal ecologists, on the other hand, pursued similar ideas about animal diversity, and a few of the more interdisciplinary researchers blended these concerns by looking at the effects of herbivores on plant productivity. Microorganisms were included in the standard models of nutrient flow, with fungi, for example, listed as decomposers in models of the carbon cycle. The emphasis, however, was always on plants and animals. Until quite recently, plant and animal ecologists ignored microbes. Microbial ecology was a separate and specialised endeavour.
This is a broad-brushstrokes picture of ecology, but few ecologists of my generation will dispute the contention that the zeitgeist has changed in the last 20 years. Ecology cannot be taught any more without considering the importance of microorganisms, and this is a very good thing indeed. By introducing microbes into models of terrestrial ecosystems, investigators have found that fungi and bacteria are actually driving plant productivity. In other words, ecologists had omitted the most important players in their models of ecosystem function. A potent mechanism at work here is the role of fungi in plant disease. As plant diversity decreases, the impact of a single pathogen becomes amplified. This is obvious in the case of monoculture agriculture: if a wheat field is attacked by a rust, crop productivity falls and there are no other plants to take up the slack. The same sort of thing happens in natural ecosystems. The impact of a single pathogenic fungus tends to be muted if plant diversity is high. This is a matter of common sense.
Interactions between plants and microbes go well beyond the effects of pathogens, of course, and studies show that harmless soil microbes impact plant productivity through their influence upon nutrient availability. Most plants do not thrive in microbe-free soils, and the usual relationship between plant diversity and productivity collapses without bacteria. Ecosystems, like individual animals, don’t work very well without microbes.
All biologists have known for decades, if they thought about it, that microbes are more important than frogs in maintaining a biosphere capable of supporting humans. Tom Curtis championed the microbiological view of ecology with the following provocation:
If the last blue whale choked to death on the last panda, it would be disastrous but not the end of the world. But if we accidentally poisoned the last two species of ammonia-oxidisers [bacteria], it would be another matter. It could be happening now and we wouldn’t even know.
Watching a breaching humpback whale off Cape Cod and hearing the massive exhalation through its paired blow holes, it seems clear that the mammal is running the show. A microscope and some imagination are required to relegate the whale to the background and absorb the fact of the microbial hegemony in the grey Atlantic water and everywhere else. The act of putting a drop of fluid on a microscope slide and viewing it at up to 1,000 times its actual size can be an awe-inspiring experience, no less a thrill than looking at the night sky with a telescope or binoculars. Microscopes and telescopes make the invisible visible: the night sky dotted with a few weak stars becomes an endless shower of light; a cloudy drop of pond water is filled with spinning, whirling, and gliding cells.
By adding microbes to the public discourse we may get closer to comprehending the real workings of the biosphere and the growing threat to their perpetuation. Interest and indifference to conserving different species shows an extraordinary bias in favour of animals with juvenile facial features, ‘warm’ colouration, ‘endearing’ behaviour (fur helps too), and other characteristics that appeal to our innate and cultural preferences. The level of discrimination is surprising. Lion cubs have almost universal appeal, and it must take a lifetime of horrors to numb someone to the charms of a baby orangutan. The charismatic megafauna are very distracting, and the popularisation of microbial beauty will require a shift in thinking, a subtlety of news coverage, a new genre of wildlife documentary. The ethical responsibility lies with the nations that are engaged in modern biology.
We have come a long way, and been humbled greatly, since Pliny the Elder embarked upon his hopeless plan to record “all the contents of the entire world” in his encyclopedic Naturalis Historia. Modern research on microbial diversity has shifted from the microscope to the automated sequencer. This has revealed an astonishing breadth to the variations in the smallest forms of life. Two thousand years after Pliny, however, we are little closer to completing his catalogue. Harvard ethologist E.O. Wilson recommended another shot at this task through his Encyclopedia of Life project. The quixotic nature of the endeavour was obvious to anyone who thought about it for a few minutes, and the stocktaking has failed to overcome Wilson’s preoccupation with animals. Interest in this futile task continues, with calls from other prominent scientists for naming species “before they go extinct.” A cheerful projection suggests that a catalogue of five million or so species could be completed within 50 years at a cost of around US$1 billion per year. The authors of this estimate argue that by naming things we might be in a better position to curb their annihilation. Is this sensible?
Name recognition isn’t a big problem for tigers and rhinoceros. More logical justifications for this taxonomic marathon speak to the fundamental importance of identifying something as a species to enable the proper exploration of biodiversity, and another stimulus is that the inventory would help determine rates of extinction. There is a strain of desperation here. Today’s biologists working on this encyclopedia would become co-authors of a holy book of sorts, a Testament of Ignominy against which future generations could gauge how much damage we did.
An obvious shortfall of this proposal, as its proponents would agree, is that it wouldn’t tell us anything about microorganisms. And that is a tremendous problem and one of the stumbling blocks to accepting that a 50-year taxonomic exercise is worth funding. Biologists, as a community, are still finding it difficult to emerge from the stamp-collecting stage of our science. Whether we are talking about molecular methods or dried sheets in herbaria and drawers filled with disembowelled birds, the importance of the taxonomic exercise deserves some objective analysis. Physics did not stop after Newton; why did so much of biology conclude ‘Mission Accomplished’ after Darwin?
If extinction is the thing we are trying to forestall, we would be better placed in trying to save habitats. The inhabitants of threatened forests would tend to come along automatically, subject to the usual problems with poaching in the remaining wildish places. Because animals and their onboard microbes live in specific habitats, and the habitat is defined, to a large degree, by its plants and the soil microbiome, saving a forest can conserve a lot of things without our ever knowing that they are there.
There is some merit in thinking about ‘The Selfish Bacterium’ as an analogue to Richard Dawkins’ popularisation of the gene as the element of continuity throughout the history of life.”
Another challenge for biologists trying to understand the activities of the smallest organisms is that most of us are unaccustomed to thinking about the spatial scale of the environment that matters to a single cell. Each of the planktonic bacteria in my garden pond has a unique life experience shaped by fluctuations in the availability of dissolved ions, changes in temperature and light intensity, contact with other bacteria, and attack by viruses. Gene expression inside the tiny cells is adjusted to maintain energy production and maximise the prospects for cell division. Motile cells with spinning flagella navigate the pond water, responding to gradients in dissolved oxygen and organic nutrients as well as local clouds of metabolites secreted by other organisms. Faeces puffed from fish add pulses of organic matter to the pond and drops of tree sap plummet through the water column leaving tails of syrup like tiny comets. The pond is a mosaic of microbes and their food. Bacteria lacking flagellar motors are moved by ripples from the pond pump and the flicking of fish tails; convection currents circulate the water too, bringing colder water from the bottom toward the surface warmed by sunbeams; a rain shower cools and mixes the surface water and the bellyflop of a frog is the microbial equivalent of an asteroid strike.
There is some merit in thinking about ‘The Selfish Bacterium’ as an analogue to Richard Dawkins’ popularisation of the gene as the element of continuity throughout the history of life. Humans, for familiar example, can be regarded as temporary conduits for primate genes, as carriers of an immense repository of prokaryote and viral instructions, or as shills for the transportation and replication of bacterial mitochondria. All of these representations have some scientific validity. None of them affect the preoccupation of the individual with everyday concerns – familial, financial, and so on.
For some people the scientific deconstruction of the body has a profound effect upon tolerance for the vagaries of religious doctrine. Deep engagement in the principles of Darwinian evolution has shaken, if not abolished, the faith of many people in supernatural ideas about the special place of Homo sapiens in a grand scheme. Even then, the agnostic biologist spends more of the time worrying about her daughter’s dental appointment than she does revelling in the fact that everyone in her family is energised by bacterial proteins in the inner membranes of their mitochondria.
Knowledge of the gut microbiome changes the balance a little. Our highly bacterial nature seems significant to me in an emotional sense. I’m captivated by the revelation that my breakfast feeds the 100 trillion bacteria and archaea in my colon, and that they feed me with short-chain fatty acids. I’m thrilled by the fact that I am farmed by my microbes as much as I cultivate them, that bacteria modulate my physical and mental wellbeing, and that my microbes are programmed to eat me from the inside out as soon as my heart stops delivering oxygenated blood to my gut. My bacteria will die too, but only following a very fatty last supper. It is tempting to say that the gut microbiome lives and dies with us, but this distinction between organisms is inadequate: our lives are inseparable from the get-go. We carry the microbes around and feed them; they deliver the power that allows us to do so. Viewed with some philosophical introspection, microbial biology should stimulate a feeling of uneasiness about the meaning of our species and the importance of the individual. But there is boundless opportunity to feel elevated by this science. There are worse fates than to be our kind of farmed animal.

An evening of bad sex…but is it bad enough?
She’s honored. (Photo: Elena Torre)
Some time ago, we announced the Literary Review‘s finalists for the one of the world’s most dreaded competitions – a prize for the most embarrassing passage of sexual description in a novel. The awards ceremony for the 20th annual award finally took place last week at the In & Out (Naval & Military) Club in St James’s Square, where 400 guests raised a toast to the winner.
And the winner is … Canadian writer Nancy Huston, with her novel Infrared. I know, I know … you want me to deliver the goods. Well, here’s the Literary Review‘s version of why they bestowed the award on Huston:
“Sentences from the novel such as ‘Kamal and I are totally immersed in flesh, that archaic kingdom that brings forth tears and terrors, nightmares, babies and bedazzlements’ caught the judges’ attention. One long passage in particular stood out:
‘He runs his tongue and lips over my breasts, the back of my neck, my toes, my stomach, the countless treasures between my legs, oh the sheer ecstasy of lips and tongues on genitals, either simultaneously or in alternation, never will I tire of that silvery fluidity, my sex swimming in joy like a fish in water, my self freed of both self and other, the quivering sensation, the carnal pink palpitation that detaches you from all colour and all flesh, making you see only stars, constellations, milky ways, propelling you bodiless and soulless into undulating space where the undulating skies make your non-body undulate…”
My goodness, I don’t think it’s all that bad. Is that the worst they could do? I think the other finalists were daffier – go here and see if you agree. (By the by, John Updike received the lifetime achievement award in 2008.)
A friend recently protested against the Literary Review‘s anti-award, saying it inhibited writers from trying to describe sex at all. I’m not so sure that’s a bad thing. Gone are the days when a writer like Henry James could describe the sexual fever of a hand brushing across the back of another. Gone are the days when Jane Austen could convey more passion with a blush more than most of today’s writers can express with an orgy. We’ve lost the ability to describe the range of nuances in affection, love, devotion, rejection in our haste to describe the relentless interlocking of body parts.
According to Literary Review editor Jonathan Beckman, that’s exactly the reason why former editor Auberon Waugh founded the prize in the first place: “He was genuinely convinced that publishers were encouraging novelists to include sex scenes solely in order to increase sales. The award’s remit was ‘to draw attention to the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel, and to discourage it’.” I couldn’t agree more.
The Paris-based Huston has received more conventional awards, such as the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens and Prix Femina, but she seems to hold a special place in her heart for her newest distinction. In a statement read at the ceremony, she announced, “I hope this prize will incite thousands of British women to take close-up photos of their lovers’ bodies in all states of array and disarray.”
To which we can only add: Please no. Not that. Anything but that.
Huston is married to the philosopher Tzvetan Todorov. On Twitter, Elif Batuman responded: “I just learned that the winner of this year’s Bad Sex Award is married to Tzvetan Todorov and it is ROCKING MY WORLD.” No further explanation offered. After all, it was only a tweet.

THURSDAY: Swim Good
BY MILES WHITE
THE PARTY was rocking at nine and might run until nine the next morning. It was a tough campaign but they were winning by a large enough margin that they would be able to call the shots on major platform issues at the convention. Everybody thought Jack could go all the way, that the nomination was virtually his. Tonight was about releasing some of the stress from the daily circus. Jack’s philosophy was: Sometimes you just need to blow it out. He gave them a night like this whenever he thought they needed one and let them party full out. He had no compunctions about jumping in himself. Jack was an old school party boy from back in the day.
Booze flowed like water. Jack had taken to chopping the corks off bottles of Brut with a sword that belonged to one of Custer’s soldiers at Little Big Horn. He had things like that lying all around his cabin. An old pair of glasses once worn by Gandhi sat on a mantel. Such wonders amazed guests at the parties he threw for his campaign team, but tonight he was amazed, because he had never before seen the statuesque bronze beauty in red lipstick and pink pumps he spotted across the room. He had not been able to take his eyes off her all night. He asked around and learned she was a lawyer helping to draft campaign positions on national security policy and would soon be briefing him. She might be a good pick for National Security Adviser. Jack, always susceptible to flirtation, hardly noticed the cabin filled tonight with bright young women throwing themselves at him like candy wrappers. He surreptitiously kept his eyes transfixed to the abundant endowments God had bequeathed to a woman named Jada. When he saw her calling a cab just past around four, he wouldn’t hear of it. He would drive her himself, even if it meant leaving his own party. No, you shouldn’t, she protested. Really, you don’t have to. He insisted. It’s the least I can do for the fine work you’ve been doing for the campaign. Please.
They both dropped pretenses once they got into his car. A little drunk, she held his head in her hands and probed his mouth with her tongue. He slipped his hands underneath her dress, caressing her breasts and bare behind. They fumbled around in the dark car for a few minutes but decided they’d better leave. They could go to her place. He headed the Lincoln hard down the gravel road that wound around the island towards the bridge. She slipped up her dress and sat on his lap, giggling like a schoolgirl. Jack held the wheel with one hand and used the other to unzip himself. Jada was feverish, and in the dark, she misjudged things. She put the full weight of herself down on him before he was ready. He screamed in agony and pushed her off him as his foot slammed the accelerator to the floor. He lost control of the Lincoln. The car swerved wildly to the right and flipped over, lunging through the darkness and exploding into the frigid lake.
As the car sank into the black water, Jack beat frantically on the driver’s side window and pushed at the door. Jada panicked and grabbed his jacket. Get off! he snarled. He elbowed her in the face, sending her flying across the car, but the blow and the cold water sobered her up. Jack finally broke the window with his feet. Letting the water flow in and settle around him, he slowly pushed himself out. He felt Jada’s hand grip his leg. He lashed out wildly with his foot, hitting her until he felt her hand drop. He kicked through the blackness towards the surface. He popped up a few seconds later, desperately gasping for air. Jack looked around trying to make out the road. There was no movement in the water. He leaned over and stroked. It took a few minutes for him to reach shore; he lay there exhausted. He had to clear his head and decide what to tell everybody. There had been an accident. He had tried to save Jada but couldn’t get her out of the car. They’d believe him. He staggered to his feet and started hiking towards the cabin. Jada stayed quiet in the icy water until he had vanished up the dark road. Then she began to swim.

Miles,
This story, like your last one, is based on real events. That bring the case, it comes across as reporting. I think you should step outside the reality box and use your talent to write something more original.
Miles June 2, 2017
Dear Jan, Thank you for your comment. Please let me respond.
Most of the stories I write are indeed based on original ideas. A few however, are based on real events that I interpret in order to add a twist to the story we know. I love doing this. However, both my stories published here were not simply retelling — in which case they would only be historical fiction, a recognized literary genre — but I am making up speculative elements I could not have known, leaving the broad outlines of the story in tact, so that the story we know now tells a “different” story. Therefore, to read the stories as simply “reporting” is to overlook the imaginative twist I give to the known story to produce a new story, one that perhaps offers insights about the story we know that cannot be known simply by the facts we have. This is a strategy of any writer or movie director working with historical fact.
Sorry Miles, but I didn’t find your “imaginative twists” all that imaginative.
Of course, writers and producers can take any event, current or historical, and see it through their own lens. But the wider the field the more the truth is in jeopardy.
I thought that to tell You Were on My Mind That Day from the perspective of someone whose voice you heard but who you learn had perished that day, told a story that could not have been told without that unsettling device; no jumpers got interviewed. If the passenger in the Kennedy car had shown up alive the next day, a political dynasty would have ended then and there, so having the passenger live is a consequential device as well. I’m sorry you don’t see these as the literary improvisations they are, where you start with the same material but try to get to a different ending.
Dear Miles,
Really, what is the point..? Why change the ending to a real life tragedy with a simple sentence and just leave it hanging there? If your going to use literary improvisations — follow through.

26 Mar 2017 New article forthcoming in Journal of European Social Policy
The article "Distribution Regimes and Redistribution Effects during Retrenchment and Crisis: A Cui Bono Analysis of Unemployment Replacement Rates of Various Income Categories in 31 Welfare States" is now accepted for publication in Journal of European Social Policy.
The paper analyzes redistribution effects during retrenchment and crisis in 31 welfare states by using a new dataset from a refined analysis of unemployment replacement rates of low, middle and high income levels (CWED2). Starting by identifying four distribution regimes before the economic crisis, the analysis shows that these regimes determine the redistribution of unemployment benefits during the period of retrenchment. As expected, equality-oriented capitalism redistributes in favor of the low-income levels and status-oriented and competitiveness-oriented capitalism have no redistribution effects. More interesting is the redistribution effect of a fourth regime type which favors high-income groups and which is present in both Western (Mediterranean) as well as Central and Eastern European countries. Another intriguing finding is that – with some notable exceptions – the period of retrenchment has been characterized by sparing the low-income groups from severe cuts. This has changed in the current economic crisis where this group has experienced severe cuts in their benefits. The reaction to the crisis is also more strongly determined by immediate needs and is not as well explained by the distribution regimes.

5 Major Attractions of Nepal
Nepal experiences a huge diversity in terms of tourists as different people are tempted to visit this country for a variety of reasons. While some fancy the adrenaline pumping of the Himalayas, some are intrigued by the outstanding culture and traditions of the country. A lot of travelers visit Nepal in a hope to rediscover the soul from within and in turn attain a spiritual awakening. The country is blessed with the stupendous beauty of nature, huge mountains, vivid landscapes, beautiful temples and monasteries, and vibrant places like Kathmandu. This article briefs about the 5 major attractions of Nepal among the wide choices to explore in here.
1. Kathmandu
The capital city of Nepal is a must-visit place as nearly every itinerary begins from here. The beauty of Kathmandu is incomparable and unmatched to any other city in the world. The lively ambiance, vibrant monasteries, with sights of looming snow-capped peaks in the backdrop makes it a sight to cherish forever. There are a lot of outstanding places to explore in Kathmandu, the Pashupatinath Temple, the Monkey Temple, the Buddhist Shrine are among the finest places to visit. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Durbar Square is a primary attraction in Kathmandu, which was damaged by the 2015 earthquake but still boasts the grandeur in the best way.
2. Pokhara
The gateway to the Himalayas at a distance of 200 km from Kathmandu, the Pokhara rests at the base of the foothills and is surrounded by supreme sights of some of the highest mountains of the world. The picturesque beauty of the surrounding Mt. Manaslu, Annapurna I, and Dhaulagiri makes the landscape postcard perfect. The region around the Lake Phewa is blessed with an unparallel serene ambiance ideal for a relaxing stay. The second largest town of Nepal is much less chaotic than Kathmandu and gifted with an enchanting landscape.
3. Chitwan National Park
Nepal gets a lot of attention for the enticing trekking routes and the high mountains, but the Chitwan National Park packs a different kind of thrill for the tourists. It is a beautiful place that showcases the best of wildlife of Nepal and homes to some amazing animals like the Rhino, Bengal Tigers, Sloths, Leopards, Bears, and many others. The elephant ride lets you explore the best of this National Park blessed with a Tropical Monsoon Climate. A journey through this amazing place creates a memory that will be etched in the heart of the travelers for long.
4. Trekking in Annapurna Region
Trekking and hiking in Nepal is a fascinating thing to do as this rewards the travelers with the bewildering and enthralling sights of nature’s extravaganza. The Annapurna Trekking route is the most popular trekking route of the country as it covers a number of outstanding locations and can be modified according to the wants of the trekkers. The Annapurna Region is also a delight to explore as it displays the enchanting glory of the Nepalese country side and even features of the Tibetan Plateau. This journey also gives an insight into the culture, traditions, and life of the locals at a large.
5. Trekking in Langtang
Another bewitching destination in Nepal is the Langtang Region. It is an outstanding place that ideally serves the travelers with an incredible hiking experience and some captivating sights. The high passes, vibrant landscapes, magnificent views, old monasteries, pukka mountain scenery, and the compelling beauty of the Rhododendrons are a delight for every traveler. A much easier and less tiring destination in comparison to the Annapurna and Everest Trekking trail, the Langtang Region packs some commanding sights that bask in its own glory.
Apart from these 5 destinations, Nepal is also well known and popular for many other mesmerizing locations that can make our extension from India a truly delightful experience. Experience the best of Nepal as it has loads and loads to offer.

Dramatica: A New Theory Of Story
By Melanie Anne Phillips & Chris Huntley
The Elements of Structure
Previously, we have seen that the characteristics which build the Objective Characters reside at the Element level of the Thematic Structure. Theme itself emanates most strongly from the Variation level. Plot is generated in the Types. It should not be a surprise, therefore, to find that Genre is most influenced at the Class level. In fact, matching a point of view to a Class creates a story’s Domains, and it is these Domains that have the greatest structural impact on Genre.
As one moves up the Dramatica structure, looking from Character to Theme to Plot, the structural components (the Elements, Variations, and Types) take on a decreasing significance to the finished work compared to the storytelling aspects involved. Objective Characters are very easy to define solely in terms of their Elemental dramatic functions. Theme is a bit less tied to the structure as it explores the comparison between two dramatic Variations whose balance must be established by the author in the process of storytelling. Plot can be looked at rather precisely in terms of Acts, but is less so when it comes to thematic Sequences. At the Scene resolution of Plot a large part of what goes on is storytelling. At Event resolution, determining exactly what events ought to occur is almost exclusively storytelling, with the events falling into four broad structural categories.
Following this progression it stands to reason that Genre, which centers on the Class level just above where Plot is found, would be the least structural of story aspects and also the most influenced by storytelling. And so it is.
In a casual sampling of traditional Genres, we immediately notice that Genre sometimes refers to the setting of a story, as in Westerns or Science Fiction. Other times, it describes the relationships between characters such as Love Stories and Buddy Pictures. Genre might pertain to the feeling an audience gets from a story as in Comedy and Horror Stories. Even styles of storytelling can have their own Genres like Musicals or
Character Studies.
With all these different duties performed by the word Genre, how can we hope to define it? An attempt is made by video rental stores. All the old standards are there dividing the movies on their shelves: Action, Drama, Children’s. This is fine for picking out what you want to watch some evening, but not much help to authors trying to create stories of their own.
Producer: “Write me a war story!”
Writer: “O.K. What do you want, something like M.A.S.H. or Platoon or The Great Escape?”
Traditional Genre categories are really only useful for grouping finished works. The overall feel of a story is created from a blending of many different components that have an impact on the audience. These range from the underlying dramatic structure (storyform) through the subject matter (encoding) and style (weaving) to audience expectations (reception).
The traditional concept of Genre is most useful to writers by keeping them mindful of the “flavor” of their story, no matter if they are working on character, plot, or theme. Genre would be a lot more useful if it could be clearly defined. This is where Dramatica can help.
Dramatica intends to help writers construct the deep structure which underlies their stories. This framework functions as the dramatic skeleton upon which the specifics of a story are built. Story encoding then places muscle on the skeleton, Story weaving clothes the creation, and Reception affects how the audience might react to such a thing.
When considering Genre from an author’s point of view — rather than the traditional audience point of view — the most critical aspect will be structural. That is where the foundation is laid, upon which the storytelling will be built. The first step of seeing Genre this way is to look at the four Classes. These four Classes indicate the nature of the subject matter that will be covered in a story’s Genre. To recap, the four Classes are:
Universe p; an external state; commonly seen as a situation.
Physics p; an external process; commonly seen as an activity.
Mind p; an internal state; commonly seen as a fixed attitude or bias.
Psychology p; an internal process; commonly seen as a manner of thinking or manipulation.
Modes of Expression
Next, we want to consider a new concept: four modes of expression through which the story’s structure can be conveyed to an audience. The four modes of expression are:
Information p; focusing the audience on knowledge.
Drama p; focusing the audience on thought.
Comedy p; focusing the audience on ability.
Entertainment p; focusing the audience on desire.
The Dramatica Classes describe what the audience will see. The modes describe in what light they will see them. When we match the two categories, we begin to control the feel our story will generate within the audience.
This is analogous to the manner in which Domains are created by attaching a point of view to a Class. Domains are part of the Story Mind itself and represent how a mind shifts its perspective to consider all sides of an issue. Genres, while also creating perspectives, do so outside of the Story Mind and represent the four different ways an audience can look at the Story Mind as a finished work they are receiving.
The following “Grid of Dramatica Genres,” shows the four Dramatica Classes along one axis, and the four modes of expression along the other.
Grid of Dramatica Genres
Where/What it is p; (Information/Universe) p; an examination of events and situations with an emphasis on the past, present, progress, and future “state of things” (e.g. Documentary, Historical and Period Pieces).
How it works p; (Information/Physics) p; an examination of how specific processes work with an emphasis on instruction (e.g. Educational, Informational, Instructional).
What it means p; (Information/Mind) p; an examination of opinions and points of view with an emphasis on the context in which they are made (e.g. Inspirational, Motivational).
Why it’s important p; (Information/Psychology) p; an examination of value systems with an emphasis on providing context relevant to the audience’s personal life (e.g. Persuasion, Propaganda).
Exploration Drama p; (Drama/Universe) p; a serious exploration of how the “state of things” is unbalanced (e.g. Courtroom, Crime, and Classroom dramas).
Action Drama p; (Drama/Physics) p; a serious take on how problems are created by ongoing activities (e.g. Espionage and War dramas).
Bias Drama p; (Drama/Mind) p; a serious take on what types of conflicts arise from incompatible attitudes (e.g. Obsession and Prejudice dramas).
Growth Drama p; (Drama/Psychology) p; a serious take on the attempts to overcome difficulties resulting from manipulations and/or evolving identities (e.g. Coming of Age and Dysfunctional Family dramas).
Situation Comedy p; (Comedy/Universe) p; humor derived from the difficulties created by placing characters in some sort of predicament (e.g. TV Sitcoms).
Physical Comedy p; (Comedy/Physics) p; pratfalls, slapstick, and other forms of humor derived from physical activities gone awry (e.g. The Three Stooges and much of Charlie Chaplin’s work)
Comedy of Manners p; (Comedy/Mind) p; humor derived from divergent attitudes, biases, or fixations – frequently noted as drawing room comedies (e.g. Jack Benny or Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Ernest).
Comedy of Errors p; (Comedy/Psychology) p; humor derived from misinterpretation or, in psychological terms, attribution error (e.g. Abbott and Costello’s Who’s on First and several Shakespeare comedies including Twelfth Night).
Entertainment through Atmosphere p; (Entertainment/Universe) p; entertainment derived from new, unique, or interesting settings or backgrounds (e.g. Disaster, Fantasy, Horror, Musical, and Science Fiction)
Entertainment through Thrills p; (Entertainment/Physics) p; entertainment derived from new, unique, or interesting activities/experiences – much like thrill rides at an amusement park (e.g. Action Adventure, Suspense)
Entertaining Concept p; (Entertainment/Mind) p; entertainment derived from new, unique, or interesting ideas (e.g. High Concept piece)
Entertainment through Twists p; (Entertainment/Psychology) p; entertainment derived from new, unique, or interesting forms of audience manipulation (e.g. Mysteries, Thrillers)
This grid illustrates how the mode of expression can change the impact a Class will have on an audience. If the Physics Class is expressed in terms of Information it would seem like a “How to” story. If Comedy is chosen as the mode of expression, however, the Physics Class looks more like a story involving physical humor or “slapstick.”
The beauty of the grid is that it provides authors with a “shopping list” of the kinds of impact they may wish to have upon their audience. Take time to fully examine the table. Look at the brief explanation of each mode/Class combination. Unlike most of the previous information in this book, this table lends itself to an intuitive feel that ties in much more closely with the Art of Storytelling than with the Elements of Structure.
Taken together, Classes and modes of expression determine the feel of the subject matter in a story. Still, there is one aspect of Genre remaining: positioning the audience in relationship to the subject matter. To do this, we can make use of the four Dramatica Domains. As a brief recap, they are:
Main Character Domain p; the first person point of view (I) matched with a Class, this Domain provides the audience with a “down in the trenches,” personal view of the story.
Obstacle Character Domain p; the second person point of view (you) matched with a Class, this Domain provides the audience with a “what’s impacting me,” impersonal view of the story.
Subjective Story Domain p; the first person plural point of view (we) matched with a Class, this Domain provides the audience with a “what’s it like to be in this type of a relationship,” passionate view of the story.
Objective Story Domain p; the third person point of view (they) matched with a Class, this Domain provides the audience with a “big picture,” dispassionate view of the story.
By positioning the audience’s four points of view on the Class/modes of expression grid, we can accurately predict the feel our story will have.
Suppose we wanted to write a Comedy with the Objective Story Domain of Universe and the Main Character Domain of Physics. We could assign all of the Domains to the grid in the Comedy mode of expression like above.
If we are good storytellers, all four throughlines would have a consistently humorous (comedic) feel to them. The Objective Story would be a situation comedy; the Main Character would be a physically goofy or funny person(e.g. Stanley Ipkiss in The Mask); the Obstacle Character might be someone who is constantly being mistaken for someone else or mistaking the Main Character for someone else; the Subjective Story relationship between the Main and Obstacle Characters would be conflicting over silly or exaggerated differences of opinion.
Though a story like this covers all of the storyforming bases, its single mode of expression lacks the emotional depth that comes from variety. This monotone form of storytelling is fine (and often preferable) for some forms of storytelling. Many audiences, however, prefer to have greater variety of expression in their stories. As it stands, this example story lacks any educational intent (Information), any sense of seriousness (Drama), and any pure diversions (Entertainment).
How does one diversify? Assign each Domain to a different mode of expression.
A story of such a completely mixed arrangement has no single, overriding feel to it. What it gives up in consistency, however, it gains in variety.
The Objective Story (Universe/Entertainment) would be set in some unique or viscerally intriguing setting (perhaps a Western, the distant future, or the dark side of the moon) in which something is amiss. In this setting we find our Main Character (Physics/Comedy), perhaps clumsy (e.g. Inspector Clouseau from The Pink Panther), or overly active like Ace Ventura. Providing a nice contrast to the humorous nature of the Main Character are the serious impact of Obstacle Character’s manipulations (Psychology/Drama). Finally, we add the Subjective Story relationship (Mind/Information) as it describes how the Main and Obstacle Characters’ fixed attitudes conflict over “what it all means.”
This is the heart of Dramatica’s approach to Genre. At its most basic level it is a choice between four modes of expression. At its most exciting and elegant, it concerns the sophisticated relationship and dynamics that are created when the four modes of expression, the four structural Classes, and the four Domains are brought together. The Class/modes of expressions grid allows authors to select Domains using their feelings and intuition. By carefully setting these Dramatica relationships in a story, you can create a powerful Genre experience for your audience with exactly the impact you intended.
Finally, there is a greater depth to Dramatica theory that offers more information about what is really going on in Genre. It may be more than you really need to consider for your style of writing and the kinds of stories you create. If you’d like to explore this final aspect of The Elements of Structure, read on.
The Class/modes of expression table we have been using makes it appear as if a throughline must remain in one mode for the duration of a story. In fact, this is only the Static Appreciation of Genre. In actual practice, the Genre of a story develops as the story unfolds, so that it may appear to be simply a Drama as it begins, by the time it is over it will have defined exactly what kind of Drama it is.
In this respect, beginning as one among a broadly identifiable group of stories and ending up where no other story has gone before, each and every story develops its own unique Genre by the time it is over. The manner by which this happens pertains to the Progressive Appreciation of Genre, which we will now explore.
First of all, once a throughline is assigned to a Class, thereby creating a Domain, that particular combination will remain for the duration of the story. Therefore, when we examine how the Mode/Class table is laid out, we can see that each Domain will fall in a vertical column and stay there. The Progressive nature of Genre is seen when each Domain slides up and down its particular column so that during the story it may touch on all four modes of expression. The fact that each Domain is always in its same Class gives them consistency; the ability to shift modes of expression gives them versatility.
Just as with Progressive Plot appreciations there are limits to how a Domain can move from one mode to another. Like the Acts in Plot, Domains must move through modes of expression in a particular order. The rule of thumb is that a Domain cannot skip over a mode (according to the order used in the table) but must go through each mode of expression in between to get to the desired one.
The reason for this limitation is that neither the human mind nor the Story Mind can shift mental gears from, say, first gear to third gear without going through second gear. Modes of expression are largely emotional concerns, and as such, the human mind must be allowed to experience the transition from one emotional state to the next if it is to feel natural.
A good example of the awkwardness that results from ignoring this rule of thumb can be found in the motion picture, Hudson Hawke, starring Bruce Willis. The filmmakers made a valiant effort to break convention and have a serious heist thriller jumbled up with comedy and even song and dance numbers in the middle of a robbery! This might have worked, had the audience been taken through the intermediate modes. Alas, such was not the case and therefore the story simply came out jumbled and impossible to get a grip on emotionally.
It should be noted that sometimes in the process of storytelling an author will want to shock an audience. This can be accomplished in a number of ways, including breaking structure or skipping the transitional modes of expression. These kinds of techniques are fully explored in the Storyweaving section of The Art of Storytelling. For now, our discussion is limited to what a consistent progression of Genre would be.
If you have closely examined the table, you may have wondered if the mode at the top (Information) could ever connect to the mode at the bottom (Entertainment) without having to go through both Drama and Comedy first. The answer to this question is, “Yes.”
If you were to clip the Class/modes of expression table out of this book (not recommended!) you could bend it around from top to bottom to make a cylinder. When presented in this form, it can be seen that Information is actually right next to Entertainment. So, during the course of a story, a single Domain might shift up or down or all around, as long as it stays within its Class column.
Taken together, all four Domains could shift from scene to scene into different relative positions, not unlike a combination lock, making the story all comedic at one time, serio-comic at another, and so on. By the end of the story, the progressive shift of Domains provides the combination for the unique Genre of a story.

定义架构
While the central concept in the Standard is architecture description, it was unavoidable that such a document could escape offering a definition of architecture as well.
This page presents the definition and discusses its rationale. For discussion of other terms used in the Standard, see the [conceptual model].
⟨system⟩ fundamental concepts or properties of a system in its environment embodied in its elements, relationships, and in the principles of its design and evolution
What follows is a brief exegesis of “architecture” and its definition in the Standard, phrase by phrase.
⟨system⟩ uses an ISO convention (of angle brackets) to signify that the term being defined pertains to the subject field of systems. Within the Standard, the terms concern, environment and stakeholder are also designated as pertaining to the subject field of systems.
The term system, in this definition and throughout the Standard, is a placeholder for a long list of things including:
systems in the spirit of ISO 15288: “that are man-made and may be configured with one or more of the following: hardware, software, data, humans, processes (e.g. processes for providing service to users), procedures (e.g. operator instructions), facilities, materials and naturally occurring entities”;
software products and services as described in ISO 12207;
software-intensive systems as described in IEEE Std 1471:2000™: “any system where software contributes essential influences to the design, construction, deployment, and evolution of the system as a whole” which includes “individual applications, systems in the traditional sense, subsystems, systems of systems, product lines, product families, whole enterprises, and other aggregations of interest”.
The Standard does not impose any definition of system upon users of the Standard. In addition to the types of systems listed above, the Standard can be used to express the architectures of conceptual systems or natural systems.
An architecture is what is fundamental to a system — not necessarily everything about a system, but the essentials.
The disjunction, concepts or properties, was chosen to support two different philosophies without prejudice. These philosophies are:
Architecture as Conception: an architecture is a concept of a system in one’s mind;
Architecture as Perception: an architecture is a perception of the properties of a system.
Under either philosophy, an architecture is abstract — not an artifact. The Standard uses another term, architecture description, to refer to artifacts used to express and document architectures.
Alas, there is widespread usage of the term “architecture” which confuses the abstract idea with the artifacts capturing that abstraction — particularly in the field of enterprise architecture.
The architecture of a system is cognizant of the system in its environment; the environment determines the totality of influences on the system. One often-cited difference between architecture and design is this: architecture is outwardly focused on the system in its environment; whereas design is inwardly focused once the system boundaries are set.
That which is fundamental to a system may take several forms:
its elements: the constituents that make up the system;
the relationships: both internal and external to the system; and
the principles of its design and evolution.
摘自IT帮《TOGAF认证公开课》讲义
It is interesting that different architecture communities place varying emphases on these. Software architecture has often been focused on software components as elements and their interconnections as a key relationship. System architecture emphasizes sub-system structures and relationships such as allocation. Enterprise architecture emphasizes principles. The definition recognizes that all of these may play a part in architecture.
Note that principles of its design and evolution may be formulated by an architect, “reverse engineered” from an existing system, or even discovered in nature — depending on the system. While for man-made systems the architecture often reflects an intentional stance, this intention is not part of the definition.
Other definitions of architecture
The Oxford English Dictionary reminds us there are two senses of the term.
architecture noun
the art or practice of designing and constructing buildings. schools of architecture or design
the style in which a building is designed and constructed, especially with regard to a specific period, place, or culture: Georgian architecture
the complex or carefully designed structure of something: the chemical architecture of the human brain
the conceptual structure and logical organization of a computer or computer-based system
Although the Standard focuses on the artifacts used to describe architectures in the 2nd sense above, it recognizes that architecture description is one set of practices within the larger art or practice of architecture, sometimes called architecting, and that there is a unity to the notion of architecture from its roots in the built environment, through civil and more recent fields. As Zachman reminds us, Architecture is architecture is architecture. [pdf]
In the original edition, IEEE 1471:2000, the definition was:
architecture: The fundamental organization of a system embodied in its components, their relationships to each other, and to the environment, and the principles guiding its design and evolution.
“Organization” was removed in the revised edition because that term already had a specialized meaning within the ISO context. Components was replaced because that term was frequently misunderstood as referring to software components. For discussion of other changes between the 2000 and 2011 editions of the Standard see [2011 Change Page].
Early definitions in software and systems architecture naturally focused on the structural nature of architecture, by analogy with the ideas of architecture in the built environment.
a software architecture is a set of architectural (or, if you will, design) elements that have a particular form. [Perry and Wolf, 1989]
Recent definitions have emphasized architecture as a web of decisions:
An architecture is the set of significant decisions about the organization of a software system, the selection of the structural elements and their interfaces by which the system is composed, together with their behavior as specified in the collaborations among those elements, the composition of these structural and behavioral elements into progressively larger subsystems, and the architectural style that guides this organization — these elements and their interfaces, their collaborations, and their composition [Kruchten, The Rational Unified Process]
Note the use of significant — not all decisions are part of the architecture, but only those that are fundamental.
The IEEE 1471/ISO 42010 definition has been utilized, extended (and sometimes misunderstood) by many others in many forms. For example:
The architecture of anything is:
Its fundamental organization–embodied in its components and their relationships to each other and their environment.
The principles that govern its design and evolution. [Holcman, 2010]
Enterprise Architecture is the continuous practice of describing the essential elements of a sociotechnical organization, their relationships to each other and to the environment, in order to understand complexity and manage change. [pdf]
TOGAF ignores the distinction between architecture and architecture description, leading to confusions throughout the TOGAF 9 document:TOGAF embraces but does not strictly adhere to ISO/IEC 42010:2007 terminology. In TOGAF, ‘architecture’ has two meanings depending upon the context:
A formal description of a system, or a detailed plan of the system at component level to guide its implementation
The structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time
The Software Engineering Institute has collected a large number of definitions of software architecture [SEI page].

Since we have had restrictions on the way we live, the air quality across NI seems to have improved.
With the absence of traffic on our roads, nitrogen dioxide levels (exhaust fumes) have dropped by more than 50% in some areas. across the UK.
You may have noticed the absence of contrails in the sky as fewer people are flying and with the recent fine weather it may seem the sky is bluer.
Less light pollution at night also makes the night sky appear clearer and full of stars.
With fewer people flying there are fewer contrails in our skies
In some ways suburbia is starting to mimic the countryside.
We are also encouraged to take some exercise each day and I have noticed some changes in what I see and hear when I’m taking my daily walk or run, so I thought I’d ask my followers on Twitter what their experiences have been.
People are noticing the bird song which may have been hidden before due to general noise and traffic. The birds have less to compete with now and the dawn chorus can go on way past dawn.
Townies are noticing more bees, birds, squirrels, foxes, even badgers, not just on walks but in gardens too.
Otters were feeding on crab at the River Bann and there are fresh sightings of seals swimming up the River Lagan.
A recent sunset over the river Foyle
Let’s look at bees, given they have such a big role to play.
I spoke to Emma from Bee Haven Beekeepers, whose goal is not to produce honey but to help increase the awareness of native honey bees and their importance.
According to Emma, there isn’t a definite answer as to whether there are more bees, but in many respects what is happening is the opposite of normality.
Fewer bumble bees are dying by road kill and so more bee colonies are getting off to a good start, but some of the normal food supply for bees and pollinators has gone.
Garden centres aren’t open, so we aren’t buying plants.
We are also mowing our lawns, removing dandelions, weeds and wild flowers, which are natural bee forage.

The same could be said for other birds and animals.
The seagulls aren’t as numerous in Newcastle because the food scraps from visitors have ceased and so they’re relying on their fish’n’chip leftovers from elsewhere.
They might even have to catch their own fish.
Find the people and that’s where you’ll find bins and unfortunately litter, but also easy pickings for rabbits, squirrels, foxes, even peacocks.
Maybe this is why there seems to be more wildlife in the parks and walking areas.
Whereas some folk in the country, who would be familiar with these wildlife sightings and noises, are almost experiencing the opposite.
More people are passing their homes as suburbia ventures further into the countryside on their walk, run or cycle, and in some cases this means an increase in noise and litter.
Gulls have become accustomed to accessing easy food sources
So have things changed or is it because our way of life has changed, and we are taking more notice of things that were always there?
Is nature claiming back the city?
Some seismologists say human activity has dropped to the lowest point since records began, so maybe it’s just the humans that have gone quiet.
As for the global picture and whether there is any slow down on the warming of the planet, the Met Office says it is too soon to say.
They expect the rise of CO2 emissions this year to be lower than previously expected because of coronavirus restrictions – there’s less traffic, less manufacturing – but it is unlikely to cause an overall global reduction in CO2 levels.

Maharashtra Celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi Amid ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’ Chants
The Ganesh Chaturthi festival kicked off with zeal and enthusiasm across Maharashtra on Thursday. The festival began with devotees, mostly attired in traditional clothes, bringing colourfully-crafted idols of the elephant-headed God in their homes and pandals and installing them amid chants of ‘Ganapati bappa moraya’, beating of drums and and sprinkling of ‘gulal’ (red coloured powder).
Several beautifully decked up pandals have been erected in all major cities and towns in the state, including Mumbai, Pune, Nashik and Nagpur, where huge idols of Lord Ganesha have been placed on raised platforms for people to worship. These makeshift tents also serve as a venue for promoting social causes such as free medical checkup, blood donation camps, charity for poor during Ganesh Chaturthi days. Maharashtra Governor C Vidyasagar Rao and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis extended greetings to the people of the state on the festive occasion. Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayak Chaturthi, is celebrated across the country as birthday of Lord Ganesha which comes to an end after 10 days when people come out in large numbers for immersing the idols in the sea or in different water bodies.
The festival sees devotees offering to the deity various sweets as prasad, of which ‘modak’ (sweet rice flour dumplings filled with coconut and jaggery) is an integral part. According to the Hindu mythology, modak is believed to be Lord Ganesha’s favourite sweet. As per the rituals, 21 modaks are offered to the God and eventually served to devotees. In view of the festival, police across the state have beefed up security. In the state capital, at least 15,000 security personnel will keep a vigil during the festival. Along with the personnel of local police stations, the Local Armed Police, State Reserve Police Force (SRPF), Riot Control Police, Quick Response Team (QRT), Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) and the Civil Defence force will be deployed across the city, Mumbai police spokesperson, DCP, Manjunath Shingte, told reporters Wednesday. Altogether 500 CCTV cameras have been installed at various locations in the metropolis for security, he said.

CAPS PREPARING TO RE-START SEASON, BUT HOLD ON ….!
June 26, 2020 Theodore Beitchman Capitals 0
By Michael Grimm
As the Caps and the rest of the NHL prepare to re-start their season, there’s a turd in the punch bowl.
New York Rangers star Artemi Panarin says that if the NHL and the NHLPA can’t agree on a fix for the league’s financial system, then players should not report to training camps.
“For nearly two decades, the players have protected the owners’ income with escrow, including throughout this pandemic crisis, even as owners’ equity continues to grow exponentially,” Panarin said yesterday in a statement posted to social media. “It is time to fix the escrow. We as players cannot report to camp to resume play without already having an agreement in place. We are all in this together.”
Panarin had 95 points in 69 games in his first season with the Rangers, with whom he signed a seven-year, $81.5 million free-agent contract last summer. He is the most prominent player to speak out against returning to training camp without a fix to the escrow system.
The current financial system in the NHL involves a 50/50 split in revenue between the players and owners. The escrow system, which calls for a percentage of withholding from players’ paychecks each season, maintains that balance by either funneling money back to the owners in the case of a revenue shortfall, or having it refunded to the players.

Red River Playboys
CJOB Winnipeg, MB
A 1954 magazine article touts the group as a "ripsnortin', music-makin' bunch of guys" that was known as Bob Boyd and his Red River Playboys.
Bob and his band were entertaining listeners over CJOB out of Winnipeg, Manitoba up north. They were doing two shows a week in 1954. One was on Friday evenings from 8:30 to 9:00pm. The other show was on Saturday evening from 8:05pm to 8:30pm. The band was also featured over the CBC network the previous winter.
We read in a 1957 article that the group perhaps was just starting about then and originally included Pat Boyd. By 1957, the band was also down to just four members and appears to include Bob Boyd's wife, Doreen to go along with Bob Tillson and Rusty Shore.
The group was doing personal appearances at such venues as Patterson's Ranch House and the Frontenas Hotel in Winnipeg.

Health departments begin to crack down on CBD in food, drink
New York City health officials reportedly this week banned restaurants and bars from serving cannabidiol, or CBD, products in food or drink, throwing cold water on one of the industry’s hottest trends.
Similar crackdowns are being reported in Ohio, Maine and Georgia, where health officials are also working to stop restaurants and bars from incorporating CBD into dishes and drinks.
CBD products have taken off across the country in various forms, largely as a derivative of hemp, claiming to offer a calming effect without the high that comes from tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, found in cannabis. Use of the non-intoxicating CBD supplement in restaurants and bars has grown across the country in recent months — particularly in beverages.
In the past, some argued that because the popular CBD supplements were made from hemp, they fell into a legal gray area, even though hemp is a product of the cannabis plant. The latest federal farm bill, approved by Congress in December, took hemp off the list of Schedule 1 narcotics, opening the door for broader — though still highly regulated — production and sale of hemp products, so long as THC levels remained below legal limits.
Still, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration continues to consider CBD or THC in food or drink used in interstate commerce illegal, regardless of whether it is hemp or cannabis derived. Companies are also prohibited from making health claims about CBD without FDA approval.
In late December, FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb appeared to open a door for CBD use in restaurants and bars, saying in a statement that there may be paths available for the agency to consider whether certain cannabis-derived compounds might be permitted in food or as a dietary supplement.
“Although such products are generally prohibited to be introduced in interstate commerce, the FDA has authority to issue a regulation allowing the use of a pharmaceutical ingredient in a food or dietary supplement. We are taking new steps to evaluate whether we should pursue such a process,” he said, pledging to hold public hearings “in the near future.”
Meanwhile, in New York, health officials in January began “embargoing” CBD products in restaurants, asking operators not to use the products — but not confiscating or asking for the CBD products to be destroyed. Eight restaurants have reportedly been ordered to stop using CBD in New York.
Fat Cat Kitchen in Manhattan, for example, posted on Instagram and Facebook that its popular CBD products were embargoed, showing a photo of items tagged in a plastic ziplock bag. “Are they going to do this to every business selling CBD edibles?” the post asked.
Meanwhile, in states like California, where recreational cannabis is legal, the use of CBD in food and drink has become increasingly common, despite state regulations that prohibit the addition of CBD products in food or drink.
“Until the FDA rules that industrial hemp-derived CBD oil and CBD products can be used as a food or California makes a determination that they are safe to use for human and animal consumption, CBD products are not an approved food, food ingredient, food additive or dietary supplement,” California health officials said in a statement posted last year.
Enforcement, however, has been left to local health departments, leaving CBD-infused food and drink relatively easy to find.
The Los Angeles-based coffeehouse chain Alfred, for example, allows guests to add CBD derived from hemp to any drink for an additional $4. Alfred includes seven coffeeshops and two tea rooms in Los Angeles as well as three other locations in Texas and Japan.
Jordan Hardin, Alfred’s food and beverage director, said customer response to the CBD-spiked coffees has been strong and the presence of CBD on menus has become “really normal” at many Los Angeles restaurants.
“It’s an extra touch to help you relax,” said Hardin. “There may be a placebo effect, but a placebo effect is still an effect.”
In San Diego, the La Marque coffee bar was offering CBD-infused menu items until last year, when the health department ordered them to stop, said owner Mark Bauman.
But Bauman found a work-around.
Local health officials made it clear the coffee bar couldn’t add CBD to food or drink, but the regulation does not prohibit guests from adding it themselves.
Now La Marque offers an in-house CBD bar where guests can choose from several hemp-derived tinctures for $5. The guest can then add a dose to their beverage or avocado toast, salad or wrap, as they like.
La Marque began the offering in October, and Bauman said it sold about $500 in CBD tinctures alone in November. Now he is developing a CBD bar strategy to sell to other restaurants.
Elsewhere, the line between the worlds of cannabis and food continues to blur.
In Colorado, another state that allows the sale of cannabis for recreational purposes, CBD has been embraced by concepts like the two-unit Habit Carbon, a café and bar with an adjoining Doughnut Dispensary, where guests can enjoy CBD in their cold brew or kombucha. CBD isn’t in doughnuts as of yet, but guests can inject a shot of whiskey into the sugary treats.
CBD’s popularity in Colorado has led some operators to see a growth opportunity.
Last month, Denver-based Illegal Burger announced a partnership with a Dallas holding company to launch a food truck in Colorado that plans to sell foods that contain hemp products.
The AmeriCanna Café food trucks will serve as a pilot to test a brick-and-mortar concept. In addition, the five-unit Illegal Burger also plans to add to its menu CBD-infused add-on ingredients, such as in seasonings or a truffle aïoli.

Home Science Sony’s $1200 Phone Finally Gets a Release Date – Droid Life
Sony’s $1200 Phone Finally Gets a Release Date – Droid Life
The Sony Xperia 1 II is a phone I would love to get my hands on. When it was announced back in February, it ticked so many boxes for those of us looking for something different, who are starting to get sick of the same ol’ 3-4 phone lines we review over and over.
Sony has dragged its feet in launching the Xperia 1 II, though. On top of the slow rollout of availability, a price showed up last week in an early listing that scared the shit out of us. Well, it’s all official now and we are left wondering if it’s too late.
Over the weekend, Sony announced that the Xperia 1 II will indeed cost $1,200. Pre-orders for the phone open in the US on June 1, but the phone won’t ship until July 24. That is not a typo.
To recap, the Xperia 1 II has a 6.5″ 4K OLED display with a motion blur setting to try and crank things up to 90Hz. It has a Snapdragon 865 with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, 4000mAh battery, Bluetooth 5.1, stereo speakers, 3.5mm headphone jack, and triple rear 12MP cameras. It won’t have 5G in the US, but should work over 4G LTE on all the major carriers. That’s a lot of good stuff.
But not arriving until end of July with a $1,200 price tag? I guess, it’s not a terrible deal that Sony is tossing in their $230 noice cancelling earbuds (WF-1000XM3). Does that ease the pain of paying Samsung prices for a Sony phone? That’s tough.
I still want one. It’s different.
Pre-orders will open at B&H Photo on June 1.

This paper presents the results of a combined study to the research performance of the Dutch Leiden-based National Museum of Natural History Naturalis, in the context of the global changing position of museums in the open scientifi c literature. In the Netherlands, the museums are stimulated to create a research portfolio, an initiative which has many consequences. One of the consequences is the assessment of the research conducted within the walls of the Dutch Museums. The study of Naturalis’ research performance consists of two parts, one based on publications in the Web of Science (WoS) and one part of documents not covered as source material in the WoS, but cited in the WoS. The results of the present study for Naturalis are put in the context of the world-wide changing pattern of publication output of museums in the open scientifi c journal literature.

School social workers seek to ensure equitable education opportunities; ensure that students are mentally, physically, and emotionally present in the classroom; and promote respect and dignity for all students.
The National Association of Social Workers – Standards for School Social Work Services offers the following guiding principals, which address multiple domains of practice:
Education/School Reform: School social work practice is consistent with the academic mission of schools by fostering educational environments that are safe; have supportive, fair, and responsive policies; and emphasize early intervention and positive behavioral interventions.
Social Justice: The school social worker collaborates with and facilitates collaboration among students, parents, community members, administration, teachers, and other school staff to identify ways to intervene early with students who struggle to benefit fully from the educational system.
Multi-tier Interventions: School social workers utilize a three tiered approach relating to prevention and intervention including Tier 1 (school-wide prevention programs), Tier 2 (evidence-informed, small group, and short-term interventions), and Tier 3 (evidence-informed, individual and long-term interventions).
School counselors work in collaboration with the entire school community and are committed to the education and whole development of all students. The school counselor is a key “go to” student and staff support services professional. Services provided by school counselors address the three domains of the ASCA model:
Academic planning: School counselors work closely with students to plan their course of studies, to support their school performance, to review progress, to set academic goals, as well as to implement academic interventions.
Social-emotional development: School counselors focus on the whole development of students, facilitate social/emotional learning opportunities, connect students to activities and electives based on their interest, build home-school-community alliances, and provide on-going individualized attention to ensure student success.
Career and post-secondary development: School counselors help students understand their strengths and talents, and how these abilities can be utilized in various college majors and careers. School counselors aid students in the college admissions process, and all next steps to their secondary education.

Softball wins district with come-from-behind win over Taylor
By The Independent, Liberty Hill
By Keith Sparks
After a dominant streak of six straight double-digit scoring games for the Panthers, Tuesday night’s tightly contested matchup with the Taylor Ducks was a refreshing surprise to those that were growing tired of watching blowout after blowout.
The Panthers came from behind to beat Taylor 6-3 and secure an undefeated district championship. Tuesday’s win followed a 23-0 shutout over Eastside Memorial the previous Friday.
The Panthers have consistently faced slower pitching throughout district play, but were finally pitted against one of the fastest pitchers in the district on Tuesday, which could prove valuable as they head into the playoffs.
The Panthers struggled to get hits early, going down 3-1 after three innings. In the bottom of the fourth, however, the Panthers caught fire, highlighted by a two-RBI triple from Carissa Garza that turned a 3-3 tie into a 5-3 lead. Shortly thereafter, Garza tagged up on a pop out into right field and scored a run of her own to give Liberty Hill a 6-3 lead, which they’d hold through the final inning.
Head Coach Kristen Brewer said Garza’s triple and Tannis Brewer’s line drive were huge for the Panthers’ momentum.
“That was huge,” Brewer said. “Hitting is contagious. You get a couple people that start hitting the ball, how we’ve done it by getting a runner on base, working for our teammates and advancing runners, doing your job, doing your part, both with Garza and with Tannis hitting that line shot.”
Another not-so-obvious momentum booster came from the Panther defense, who rebounded quickly with a three-up, three-down inning after giving up a double play on offense just a few minutes earlier.
“Also a big momentum deal was when they got us out on a double play and immediately going in and getting the next three batters out,” Brewer said. “Just taking the momentum away when we can and keeping ours going.”
In their final game before the playoffs begin, Brewer said the timing was ideal in facing one of the fastest pitchers in the district after being forced to adjust to slower pitching for the majority of district play.
“The biggest thing, in my opinion, is that we’ve seen slower pitchers for a few games in a row now, and to have one of the fastest pitchers in our district, to face her, it took us a couple innings to get the timing down, but our kids adjusted pretty quickly,” Brewer said. “They’re really good at watching and learning from their teammates’ at-bats, adjusting and learning from what they see.”
Abby Covington pitched a complete game on Tuesday, throwing eight strikeouts while giving up four hits, three walks, and two earned runs in seven innings.
Offensively, Ireland Sargent had a 2-3 performance at the plate with a single, a double, and one RBI. Garza went 1-4 with a triple and two RBIs, Brewer went 1-3 with a single and an RBI, Kinsey Kuhlmann went 1-2 with a double, Lauren Macias went 1-3 with a single and an RBI, and Ashlyn Revere went 1-2 with a single.
Friday’s matchup was the Panthers’ second of the season against Eastside Memorial, who they beat 17-0 in their first matchup. The second matchup was another blowout as the Panthers remained undefeated in district play with a dominant 23-0 win behind 21 hits that lasted only three innings before the game was called.
Cheyenne Floyd pitched all three innings, coming up with five strikeouts while giving up no hits and four walks.
Ashton Dirner led the way offensively, going 3-3 with a walk, a single, a home run and two RBIs. Dylan Lewis went 3-4 with two singles, a double, and three RBIs, Ashlyn Revere went 3-3 with two singles, a triple, and three RBIs, and Sargent went 3-3 with a walk, a single, a double, and two RBIs.
After failing to win district for the first time in years last season, the Panthers came into this season with something to prove. Brewer said that came up often during district play.
“This was big, and we did talk a lot about last year coming into this,” Brewer said. “All it takes sometimes is one game. You can’t go into a game thinking that it’s already won. It’s not on paper, you have to actually put things into action. Especially that second round of district, you’ve got to start playing it like it’s playoffs and have that change of mentality.”
Liberty Hill will play with Wimberley or Bandera in the first round of playoffs, depending on the results of this week’s district meeting.

"Nissedag"
Tor, 06.12.10 23:04
In kindergartens and schools in Norway, it is quite common to have something called a "nissedag" at some point during advent. "Dag" means "day", and a "nisse" is a mythical creature thought to live at farms. They would do some sort of unspecified good deeds (at least if they were kept happy, by giving them some rice pudding from time to time), but generally be very elusive and only move about at night (a common trait among mythical creatures, as they would otherwise just be creatures). I guess you could say the nisse is more or less the Scandinavian version of the brownie.
A nisse is traditionally seen as smaller than a human, I'd say about half to one third the size of grown person, and they are usually pictured with white beards, and wearing traditional clothing such as a knitted sweater, plus fours (made from coarse grey wool, not tweed), woolen stockings and a red hat (after brushing up on my hat related vocabulary at wikipedia, I'd say it's similar to a Phrygian cap), so essentially old fashioned skiing gear. And this is precisely what people will dress up like at a nissedag (though in general you would get away with putting on a red shirt). But why this weird tradition of dressing up as mythical creatures, and how is this releated to Christmas?
The truth is that I have no idea how this came about, but I'd bet it has something to do with the Norwegian word for Santa Claus being "Julenissen", meaning "The Christmas nisse". In any case, there is a quite strong connection between Christmas and the traditional nisse. I don't think it's ever been a tradition to say that the nisse brings presents, or has any other specific role related to Christmas, but the nisse is still a very popular motif for Christmas cards (see Google Images: Nisse). Also, one is supposed to put out a bowl of rice pudding for the nisse on Christmas eve. This is the main topic of the Norwegian Christmas carol "På låven sitter nissen":
På låven sitter nissen med sin julegrøt,
så god og søt, så god og søt.
Han nikker, og han smiler, og han er så glad,
for julegrøten vil han gjerne ha.
English, courtesy of me:
The nisse sits in the barn with his Christmas rice pudding,
so good and sweet, so good and sweet,
He's nodding and he's smiling and he's very happy,
because he really likes Christmas rice pudding.
I think it's becoming increasingly more common to go to a nissedag dressed up in some sort of pre-made, Coca Cola inspired Santa Claus costume, but the last time I attended a nissedag (which must be something like 13 years ago), the majority of those who could be bothered dressing up at all was still going for the traditional look. Also, I mentioned earlier that an adult will often dress up as Santa and hand out candy at a juletrefest. It is also quite common to go for the traditional nisse look in this situation, sometimes complete with cross country ski shoes for good measure (the idea probably being that anything related to snow must surely give extra Christmas points).

This is a nisse

For the foreigners, a picture.
Anders K., 07.12.10 17:36
The nisse-Christmas link has to do with the fact that the traditional nisse is one of the "little people". (Not what we today would call "little people", that is people suffering from growth hormone deficiency, but rather mythological creatures like dwarfs, trolls, fairies, etc. The Norwegian term is "underworld people", which also has a different, though no less scary, meaning in contemporary English. I guess another group term for smaller creatures of this kind would be tusse, ethymologically linked with nisse.)
In any case. These forces of the unseen are traditionally regarded as stronger in the dark season, for completely obvious psychological reasons. Traditionally, people would tell children to stay inside on Christmas eve, because all evil creatures of the world (the Åsgårdsrei, and after Christianity Satan and all his minions) travel across the sky on this day and may capture anyone who spots them. (This belief is currently obsolete.) The difference between the nisse and its inherently evil relatives is that he can also be swayed to do good. He lives on your barn -- the one with grey knitwear and a kind of drunkardy-looking face is also called a fjøsnisse (barn nisse) -- in close association with the animals. With him being half-human/half-creature, he can of course speak to them. His arsenal of mischief may include angering your workhorse against you by convincing it you're treating it worse than the neighbours are treating theirs, tell your hens what you actually do with the eggs, etc., or simply use his underworldly magic to turn your cows' milk in to blood. (When I told a Polish co-worker about this, he simply said "You have a horrible Christmas.")
But he's a traditional trickster, and like any trickster he has a soft spot. He's a real sucker for sour cream porridge, and for some reason one simple serving of this very basic meal on Christmas eve will keep him satisfied over Christmas and into spring, when people stop believing in him so much. And he will of course tell your animals that you are a kind and generous master deserving of their dedication and so on. In other words, he's a mythological mediator between the farmer and Nature in times of hardship, just like any god demanding its offerings. And the worst time of hardship for a mediaeval farmer in Norway would of course be Christmas, when he would suffer a diet exclusively made up of food preserved in mediaeval ways. No wonder they put some of it out on the doorstep to secure a bountiful spring.

Be Transparent On What Performance You’ll Recognize
employee engagement__Excellence__Human Motivation__Human performance__Leadership Skills__Recognition
I may have been one of the last leaders in America to have this particular insight, but it finally dawned on me that a lot of the people on my team were working extremely hard – and achieving remarkable things – all in expectation of later receiving recognition.
My epiphany: When I took time to formally acknowledge and thank my employees for their committed efforts and achievements, they could feel the work they did mattered. They were certain I understood how much of themselves they had put into getting great results – and thrived in being appreciated.
Recognition for them, therefore, was an extremely powerful incentive.
Once I fully understood this, I immediately made some permanent changes to my leadership practices. First, I “institutionalized” recognition by delivering it at the same place, time and manner every month. I did this so my employees would trust that their extraordinary efforts and accomplishments never would be overlooked. The surest way to dim ambition and initiative, I realized, would be to let someone work especially hard, meet my expectations, and then not give them the reward that’s inherent in recognition.
Another change I made was to pre-communicate what specific performance would earn my acknowledgment. While I reserved the right to praise any and all great work and achievements, I wanted my employees to know which specific goals were most important to me and would always earn my applause, esteem and appreciation when they were met.
By doing this, I effectively told my team, “If you achieve these targets, I will never let you down by not honoring you.” Thus, when my employees dug deep to meet challenging assignments, they could envision our next meeting where they would receive their hard-earned tribute!
I’m a strong advocate for ensuring employees know what specific performance a leader will recognize and that there’s never any ambiguity in employee minds. Here’s a quick story which illustrates how ambiguity can be really de-motivating.
I once had a boss who created an Olympic themed recognition program for his team of eight regional managers. He bought gold, silver and bronze medals – along with a three-tiered stand – and told us that the top three performing regional managers every month would be honored in a traditional Olympic ceremony.
With such a thoughtful idea, my boss’s heart was clearly in the right place and he gets high marks for making his program fun and special. But his plan had one big problem.
He never disclosed how the winners would be determined.
Yes, we knew our most important goals and worked hard to achieve them. But our boss assigned weights to each goal making some more important than others. Since we had no idea what calculations he was using, we never knew until his meetings whether our results were good enough to win.
By complicating the process, my boss inadvertently diminished the effectiveness of his own program. None of us liked to be surprised by the results – we preferred to do the work that would ensure success. And we often felt discouraged when our results were independently strong but failed to be acknowledged.
My best advice: be as transparent about what performance will get recognized and how you will calculate results. Your employees will reach for new heights when they implicitly trust it will always win your acknowledgment and praise.

Bees belong to the insect family which includes wasps, ants and sawflies. In Australia there are four main bee families. Many of these bees are solitary nesters, while others may share a nest. Others are fully social species. Although some bees sting, they are not generally considered to be pests as they play an important role in the Australian environment as key pollinators of many native plant species. bees
However, like the European Wasp, the Honey Bee is an introduced social insect. Worker bees visit flowers in search of pollen during the summer months, and may sting if handled or caught in clothing. They are particularly attracted to clover flowers, so it is wise to be cautious if walking through clover patches. Like wasps, Honey Bees will vigorously defend their nests.
Honey Bee stings are barbed and, when a person is stung, the sting (with venom gland attached) will stick in the skin and tear away from the bee. This injury kills the bee, but the venom gland continues to pump venom through the sting, so it should be removed as soon as possible. Do not squeeze it as this will force more venom into the wound. The sting is best removed by scraping it out with a fingernail.
Most Honey Bee stings cause intense local pain and swelling. However, if a victim is allergic to bee venom, a sting may cause more general symptoms. Most seriously, these can include difficulty breathing and collapse, and possibly even death. If a person is known to be allergic to bee venom, the sting should be removed and a pressure immobilization bandage should be immediately applied. Seek medical attention.
DO NOT attempt to eradicate swarming bees, unless you have the complete range of protective equipment and professional knowledge essential in the circumstances.

Oblate Garden Featured in the Washington Post September 23rd, 2014
Gail Taylor, farmer on the Oblate property in Washington, DC
An article in the Sunday Washington Post featured the garden at the Oblate Headquarters in Washington in a piece on the DC Urban Agriculture bill under consideration by the City Council.
Roberto De Jesus Silva OMI, our visitor from Brazil, is featured in the photo attached to the article and has been a regular volunteer with the Saturday group.
Urge a Yes Vote on the Urban Ag and DC Food Security Bill of 2014 September 8th, 2014
The Garden at 391 Michigan Ave., NE at the Oblate headquarters in Washington, DC
If you live in Washington, DC, please join us in supporting the Urban Agriculture and DC Food Security Bill of 2014. The legislation is moving through the City Council this month, and your voice is needed!
DC City Council Member David Grosso, who spent time visiting the Garden at 391 last April, introduced this legislation, with the idea of building on the legacy of the urban farming act of 1986 and the DC Healthy Schools Act of 2010. This bill takes those initiatives a step further by opening up more public and private land to grow healthy food. Passage of the Urban Agriculture bill is very important as a way to develop local food growing capacity.
Gail Taylor, the farmer of the lower field at the Oblate headquarters in Washington, DC has been building the soil and productivity on the city plots that make up Three Part Harmony Farm for the last 3 years, but she and her fellow farmers need these policy changes to take the next step to really grow (in so many different ways!).
Please get involved in this brief grassroots effort to make sure the City Council knows how important this issue is to residents of DC.
Contact the Chairman and members of the DC City Council Finance and Revenue Committee. They are currently in the mark up phase of the bill.
Please feel free to use these points as a guide:
“Hi, My Name is:
I live in Ward:
I’m calling/ emailing to let you know that the D.C. Urban Agriculture and Food Security Act of 2014 is an important piece of legislation for our city and that I hope it will be passed soon.
• The Act encourages private, District landowners to lease their land for agricultural purposes and encourages urban farming on unused city owned land in response to problems of blighted property.
• The Act responds to the District’s continued struggle to address chronic hunger amongst residents with a local solution: encouraging urban farmers to donate a portion of their produce to District-based food banks and shelters.
• The Act enables urban farmers to sell their produce both on and off the leased land, bringing easy, fresh food access to neighborhoods across the city, including those currently identified as food deserts.
Please write or call:
Chairman Phil Mendelson: (202) 724-8032; pmendelson@dccouncil.us
Jack Evans: (202) 724-8058; jackevans@dccouncil.us
Muriel Bowser: (202) 724-8052; mbowser@dccouncil.us
Marion Barry: (202) 724-8045; mbarry@dccouncil.us
David Catania: (202) 724-7772; dcatania@dccouncil.us
Thank Grosso and Cheh for their leadership, and the other supporters of the bill as well:
David Grosso: (202) 724-8105; dgrosso@dccouncil.us
Mary Cheh: (202) 724-8062; mcheh@dccouncil.us

The Oblate Garden In Washington Enters its Third Year April 7th, 2014
Gail Taylor, farmer at the 391 garden, and David Grosso, At-Large Member of the Washington, DC Council at the April 5th opening of the garden.
Supporters of the vegetable garden at the Oblate House in Washington, DC met on April 5th to mark the start of the third season of planting. The lead gardeners, Gail Taylor and Zachari Curtis, came together with volunteers, neighbors, supporters of urban gardening in DC, members of the local oblate community and DC Councilman David Grosso. Also in attendance were: Black Belt Justice Center, DC Greens, Green Girls Go, Dreaming Out Loud, the Green Scheme, Damien Ministries.
The project was initiated three years ago with the support of the local oblate community and the province administration, and has delivered a variety of rich and wholesome vegetables in the first two years of operation. The land previously was used primarily for recreational purposes, and the farmers have worked hard to improve the soil quality so it can be used for farming.
The project is one of a number of neighborhood vegetable initiatives established by people committed to producing food for people in the city, particularly for underserved neighborhoods.
Councilman David Grosso has introduced the DC Urban Farming and Food Security Act to make more urban vegetable gardening initiatives possible. This legislation will provide access to city lots and tax incentives designed to make the business model more attractive to entrepreneurs, with the result that healthy, locally grown vegetables would be more accessible to District residents. All of the groups attending the April 15th event are committed to mobilizing support for the legislation.

Warner Oland i gränslandet: Transnationell identitet och hybridkultur i den klassiska Hollywoodfilmens marginal - Projects
Doctoral thesis projects
Warner Oland i gränslandet: Transnationell identitet och hybridkultur i den klassiska Hollywoodfilmens marginal
Warner Oland in the Borderland: Transnational Identity and Hybrid Culture in the Margins of Classic Hollywood Cinema
History, Cinema Studies
In the 1920s and 30s, Swedish-American film actor Warner Oland gained international fame, mainly through recurring portrayals of stereotypical Orientalist characters. However, despite 97 films, some of them canonical milestones, and a large following in Sweden, the United States, and China, Oland remains a parenthesis in film history. Some film scholars have investigated the racist parameters of his most famous incarnation, Charlie Chan, but there is no book-length study of Oland's film career. To a broader audience, he is mostly unknown. While the racist connotations of Oland's most famous roles have probably contributed to his present-day historical obscurity, such explanations fail to consider the complexity of the identity politics inherent in his public identity; a Swede who emigrated to the U.S., only to become globally famous for portraying screen Orientals.
Drawing on a wide range of primary source materials on the reception and perception of Oland and his films from Swedish, U.S. and Chinese archives, I trace how Oland’s persona operated in a figurative borderland, transgressing fixed notions of national essentialism and racial stereotyping. By focusing on the reception of Oland´s ethnic hybridity, I show that Oland´s star persona facilitated a “transcultural contact zone” straddling cross-cultural tensions between the American film industry and other national, regional, and local film cultures across the globe. Thus, this is also a case study of the underexplored transnational history of Classic Hollywood cinema, promising to produce new historical perspectives on representations of race and ethnic identity in film.

CD/Video Reviews
Who is Bob Suehs
Ozzy Osbourne - "Memoirs of a Madman"
”Memoirs Of A Madman” CD / 2 DVD set
When an artist releases a career spanning “best of” package it’s usually a cash grab in this era because most bands will release “best of” sets after a decade together. Ozzy has been at it over 40 years and this 2 DVD / 1 CD set is a well deserved flashback of the Madman’s career.
Category: CD/Video Reviews
What’s odd to me is that the CD & DVD are missing one song, ”Shot In The Dark”, which was essentially a big hit for Mr. Osbourne!
The audio cd starts off with the Randy Rhoads era and I’ll be blunt, the first 4 songs are the best of the set. Jake E. Lee is represented on 2 tracks and Zakk Wylde’s contributions to the Ozzman’s career received the most love on this set.
The “best of” cd is ok, I’d advise any new Ozzy fan to purchase “Blizzard of Ozz” & “Diary of a Madman” simply because both releases are works of art from start to finish & as far as the “singles”, most people already know them so the cd set is secondary to the “best of” dvd in my opinion.
The 2 dvd set entitled “Memoirs of a Madman” is what you want to check out because it’s where you experience Ozzy and company.
DVD #1 is a compilation of Ozzy’s promo videos. What I never realized was just how low budget most of Ozz’s vids are/were.....”Crazy Babies” & “Miracle Man” are probably the only 2 vids that stood the test of time and still look cool while clips like “So Tired” and “Mama I’m Coming Home” look a tad dated in 2014.
DVD #2 is the one you want to check out because it’s a career retrospective and highlights live footage of Ozzy which is where he shines!
Ozzy’s always had a great backing band and DVD #2 kicks off with classic footage of Randy Rhoads, Rudy Sarzo & Tommy Aldridge jammin! Seeing Tommy’s afro bounce, watching Randy shred, Rudy’s red jumpsuit....this makes the entire set worthwhile!
The interview segments provide video proof of how Ozzy used to look pre-facelift as well as witnessing the evolution of Zakk Wylde from skinny kid to Mega-Muscle-Man is interesting!
“Perry Mason” is actually one of my favorite moments because it’s the only clip you see with Joe Holmes. I’ve always felt like Joe Holmes was a great fit for Ozzy’s band and never understood why he was let go after just one tour!
I will admit that watching this 2 dvd set made me teary eyed because what you realize while viewing this set is that Ozzy is at the end of his career and there will be a day when there is no more Ozzy which the video “Life Won’t Wait” lays out.

News24.com | Williams appoint Simon Roberts as interim principal
Formula One cars line up on the grid (PA)
Simon Roberts has been appointed as the interim team principal for Formula One team Williams after founder Frank Williams and deputy team principal Claire Williams stood down.
The Italian Grand Prix on Sunday marked the family’s 739th and concluding race in F1 following the team’s sale to US investment firm Dorilton Capital last month.
Roberts spent 17 years at McLaren before joining Williams as managing director in May.
“I am delighted to be announced as acting team principal for Williams during this transitional period,” he said.
“It is an exciting time ahead for the team, a new era for Williams and one that I am excited to be playing a part in. I look forward to the challenge ahead as we look to take the team back to the front of the grid.”
Williams are the third most successful constructor in the sport’s history, behind only Ferrari and McLaren. They have won 114 times and have 16 combined drivers’ and teams’ titles.
Despite their great success in the 1980s and 1990s, producing Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill as world champions, Williams have won just one race in the past 16 years.
They have finished bottom of the constructors’ championship for the past two seasons and are without a point in 2020.
Despite the sale, they will continue to be called Williams.

Reviewed by Rodger Kelly The latest addition from Mushroom Model Publications (MMP) to their Yellow Series is No 6110, covering the Mitsubishi J2M Raiden. The Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (whilst Raiden was the name the Japanese gave it, it was widely known by the Allies by its code name of Jack). The aircraft was designed against a Japanese Naval Air Force requirement for a high speed and fast rate of climb land based interceptor for employment in the defence of strategic positions – a point defence fighter to defend against air attack from ground-attack and bomber aircraft. The book follows the now familiar MMP format. The first few chapters provide a thorough coverage of the Raiden's developmental and technical history from the prototype stage, through the various models (J2M2 Model 11 to J2M6 Model 31) to the field modifications that were carried out during its operational life. MMP is well known for its use of excellent, clear photographs and this book is no exception. It contains 57 black and white, and 73 full colour photographs. Some of the photographs will be familiar with ardent fans of the Imperial Japanese Naval Air Force but most are new or seldom used – no mean feat on behalf of the publisher in collecting them! Clever use has been made of the colour photos (modern-day ones of the only remaining intact Raiden) by mixing them with wartime ones and technical drawings to illustrate details of the airframe in a walk-around type coverage. The Raiden wore the standard "dark green over light grey" camouflage and this is well illustrated by 35 full colour profiles. Scattered amongst them are a couple of variations including the orange/yellow prototype, the natural metal finish example in U.S. markings as tested by the Technical Air Intelligence Unit – South West Pacific Area and the Allied Technical Air Intelligence. I have included a couple of these with this review but if you want to see more MMP have put a few up on their website at: http://mmpbooks.biz The book itself has been printed in Poland. It is B5 in size-240x165 mm (the same size as the Osprey Aircraft of the Aces series) and comprises 80 pages printed on good quality glossy paper between cardboard covers. If you have a couple of the excellent Hasegawa kits, or even the old (but still good Otaki ones) stashed away this is the best reference you are going to find to help you in creating your next masterpiece. Recommended.
by David Brizzard The newest title from this publisher is one of the best yet. In the typical Mushroom format, this 80 page little gem has 72 color photos of a museum aircraft, 36 color profiles, 47 black and white photos, 14 1/72 scale drawings, 1 original WW2 color photo, tech data charts, tail code descriptions, cockpit photos, tech drawings, all showing the history of this aircraft from the J2M1 to the J2M7 ko. Again, a must have in your collection.
Reviewed By Jack Bruno, #25313 The J2M Raiden "Jack" was a stubby little A/C that I compare to the P-47 Thunderbolt in that it was a departure away from the maneuverability and lightweight airframe of the Zero. Reading the forward of this beautifully compact book, I discovered that the Raiden was indeed created / developed by the same Team that brought the Japanese Military the A6M. As with the rest of the YELLOW series of Books that I've been reviewing, nothing is short changed here. All versions are covered with pictures and line drawings and further details are highlighted by photo's of real surviving a/c. You have all of the close-ups here such as Cockpit, Fuselage, Wing, Armament, Engine, Tail and Undercarriage and the rest of the Tech Data, Development and Field Modifications. Of particular help to this reviewer was the line up and placement of the break lines and attachment of the 300 liter drop tank. Mostly all of the close-up shots are in color to further aid modelers, like myself, create an accurate version in plastic. Pages 63 thru 80 feature color side-views of different Marks and Units of this Navy A/C; 2 per page no less! The only drawback I can find is the lack of Combat reports informing the reader of the effectiveness of the Raiden and a list of Ace's that flew the Jack. All that aside, I can't imagine building a model of this kit without these Fantastic Books to help and guide me.
By Scott Van Aken Adding to the growing list of great books from Mushroom Models is this new one on the J2M Raiden. Given the Allied code name 'Jack', the Raiden was probably the Japanese Navy's first dedicated interceptor. Designed specifically for the purpose of getting into the air and to the enemy's bombers as quickly as possible, it put aside the requirement of being a good dog-fighter in order to have the largest engine placed in the smallest possible airframe. As with all the other similar editions from Mushroom Models Publications, this one opens with a brief introduction to the type and then goes on to cover all the sub-types with drawings and photographs to illustrate the salient differences between them. It is then followed with a section by section look at the airframe of existing types. In this case the only extant aircraft I'm aware of is the J2M3 that is held by the Air Museum in Chino, California. It is that aircraft which is the subject of all the close-ups and detail images. Interspersed with these images are drawings of the section in question as well as period photographs of these sections, wherever possible. The final section is one that I find is the most inspirational, and that is the one of profiles. There are fully 18 pages of profiles and three views, superbly illustrated by Zygmunt Szeremeta of all the different variants and variations of the J2M. Enthusiasts of Japanese military aviation should not be without this valuable and interesting guide to one of the JNAF's most important interceptors.
By Ray Mehlberger This new book covers the pugnacious Japanese 'Raiden' fighter, developed at much the same time as the famous Zero and by the same team. However, the emphasis for it was on speed, rate of climb, and heavier armament. These were radical departures from the usual Japanese emphasis on light weight and manoeuverability. Given the Allied code name 'Jack', this fighter was slow to appear in JNAF service, but frorm 1943 onwards gave the Japanese Navy an effective interceptor whose importance escalated as USAAF attacks on the homeland intensified. The book describes the technical development of the Raiden, and illustrates all versions with photos and plans. The J2M2 Model 11, J2M3 Model 21, J2M4 Model 32, J2M5 Model 33 and the J2M6 Model 31 are all discussed. There are 80 pages in the book, 36 wartime black and white photos, 94 pictures taken of the sole remaining Raiden in a museum (these are walk-around type pictures and we are never told where these were taken - too bad). There are 34 full color side profiles and two of these are two views with the top shown also. There are 25 black and white line drawings showing various parts of the Raiden's anatomy and four tech data tables. Quite a bit of information!! This book will be an invaluable reference source for Japanese aviation enthusiasts, modelers and historians. Highly recommended.

Friday essay: moving autism on TV beyond the genius stereotype
Katie Sutherland, Western Sydney University
Julia (with the orange hair) and her friends from Sesame Street.
I am watching Sesame Street with my two boys, aged 11 and 13. Admittedly they’re a bit old for Elmo and Big Bird, but this is a special occasion. It is the debut episode for the television show’s newest Muppet on the block, Julia, a sweet four-year-old preschooler with red hair, a wide smile and autism.
When I told my eldest son that Sesame Street was launching a Muppet with autism, he replied, “Are they even allowed to do that?” He had never seen a character on children’s TV who, like him, was on the autism spectrum. He wondered if Julia was taboo or controversial, and his reaction indicated to me that Julia’s arrival was long overdue.
It turns out Julia is just one of the gang. She has her quirks and these are brought to light in the “Meet Julia” special episode, which aired on April 10. Julia takes a while to answer questions, flaps her hands and is sensitive to loud noises. But the other Muppets quickly learn what makes her tick and she is accepted for doing things “just a little differently, in a Julia sort of way.”
Her introduction represents an encouraging cultural shift. Arts culture, including picture books and television, if managed appropriately, can have a positive effect on the psychosocial development of children, teaching them how to empathically interact with peers on the spectrum. The arts can also help children with difference to identify with likeminded characters, engendering a sense of connection and wellbeing. Until now, however, children’s TV has not represented autism’s increasing prevalence, or the need for improved awareness and understanding.
Isolation is of particular concern for children on the autism spectrum, who may have difficulty making friends and are prone to bullying, often leading to mental health issues. One study indicated that 63% of children on the spectrum had been bullied in their lifetime, with 38% bullied in the past month.
Sesame Workshop, the non-profit organisation behind Sesame Street, states that bullying was a key motivator for the introduction of Julia. It also claims that nearly every family is affected by autism in some way. In Australia, it is estimated that one in 100 people (around 230,000) have an autism spectrum disorder, while in the United States, this figure sits at around one in 68 people. Such statistics are further compounded when taking into account how autism touches family, friends, teachers and colleagues.
Adults and teens have enjoyed a steady increase in fictional characters since Dustin Hoffman’s memorable and groundbreaking portrayal of Raymond in Rain Man in 1988. Unfortunately, though, this film also created an unhelpful stereotype of people on the spectrum having an uncanny recall for facts and savant-like skills. But characters like Julia pave the way for more inclusive portrayals of autism.
A sensitive portrayal
It took Sesame Workshop five years and consultation with more than 250 autism organisations and experts to develop Julia, who actually first appeared as a digital storybook character for the autism initiative See Amazing in All Children. The creators of Julia chose a female character because autism is less understood in girls and diagnosed less frequently.
In her debut TV appearance we find Julia alongside fellow Muppets Elmo and Abby, who are finger painting. Julia is using a paintbrush because she doesn’t like the feeling of paint on her hands. This is typical of kids on the spectrum who may be over-sensitive to textures, sights, sounds, tastes or smells.
The episode sets a tone of inclusion from the beginning, when Elmo and Abby say to Big Bird, “this is our friend Julia”. But friendship does not come quite so easily to Big Bird. He introduces himself and asks to see Julia’s painting, but she is concentrating intently and does not look up. Alan, the only human in the scene, explains, “Sometimes it takes Julia a little while to answer. It helps to ask again.” This is a small suggestion, but one that is very important and helpful.
When Julia eventually shows her artwork, exhibiting obvious creative flair, Big Bird tries to give her a high five, but Julia turns away. Big Bird feels dissed and thinks that Julia doesn’t like him.
This nuanced reaction is where Sesame Street’s years of research shines through. I love that Big Bird is sensitive and slightly put out, because this is the reality of interacting with a person on the spectrum. It can take patience and understanding, something that is tricky for busy children in a playground. Sometimes, a neurotypical person (a term used by the autism community to describe non-autistic people) may feel affronted or that they are being ignored.
Julia doesn’t like the feeling of paint on her hands. Over-sensitivity to textures can be typical of kids on the spectrum.

While it takes Big Bird a little while to catch on, he and Julia eventually find some common ground, which brings home the affirming message of the episode.
The most touching moment for me was when Alan takes Julia to her favourite spot to calm down after a noisy ambulance drives by. They sit together on a quiet balcony high above the street where even lofty Muppets like Big Bird look small.
“I love this view,” Alan says to Julia. “Everything seems different from up here doesn’t it?” The metaphor is profound and strangely reassuring.
Upon watching the episode, my son commented that he was pleased Julia’s autism was mentioned, but wasn’t made out to be a big deal. It was simply a part of who she was. He identified with some of Julia’s traits, such as being sensitive to sounds. “Elmo’s squeaky voice would drive me mad if I were her,” was one comment. Overall, he was heartened by the episode. I noticed he had a small smile on his face while watching it and afterwards he said that it was great that shows were becoming more diverse and autism was being normalised.
The “Meet Julia” episode was not completely perfect, however. In the program that went to air, Julia’s introduction was followed by a series of short pieces on the theme of friendship and kindness. Such focus on the importance of making and keeping friends is an odd choice, given that children on the spectrum have such a hard time doing just this. I wondered if it could make them feel inadequate or alienated, although a couple of the segments did provide some good tips around play.
It is also a shame that Julia is not more expressive in her language. But her quietness is part of her character and one that is apparent in some kids on the spectrum. I have read comments that Julia is not typical of someone with autism, but I disagree and believe it is impossible to conjure up one representative of such a complex neurological condition. Autism constitutes a vast spectrum and presents differently in every individual.
While I would have loved Julia to be introduced a decade ago, when my boys were toddlers, her arrival now at least paves the way for more children’s characters with autism.
Beyond the brilliant
Dustin Hoffman’s character in Rain Man was largely responsible for introducing many people to autism, but also the unhelpful “genius” stereotype.
Many cultural references have since replicated this notion, including Mark Haddon’s (2003) book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time about a 15-year-old brilliant, but socially inept mathematics whiz. Similarly, Graeme Simsion’s best-selling book The Rosie Project (2013) explored the humorous relationship slip-ups of genetics professor Don Tillman; and David Williamson’s (2017) recent play Odd Man Out covered similar terrain around the love life of an astrophysicist.
While all of these examples have contributed to the awareness of autism, where are the ordinary characters? The ones with learning difficulties who do not go on to become brilliant? The characters whose social challenges are not counterbalanced with freakish IQ levels? It is encouraging to see that the new Power Rangers movie features a character with autism, Billy the Blue Ranger. But he is, well, a superhero. The Disney TV series Girl Meets World recently explored the possibility of its precocious character Farkle being on the spectrum, but again drew on stereotypes, focusing on Farkle’s genius qualities.
An interesting and arresting portrayal of a TV character thought to have high functioning autism, also known as Asperger’s syndrome, is Saga Noren in the Scandinavian crime series The Bridge (or Sonya in the US remake). Saga appears to be emotionally detached, takes things literally and is ruled by rules, making her an astute, if not socially awkward, police detective.
While she is not expressly described as having autism in the series, her colleagues make reference to her difference and she has reportedly become a role model for some women on the spectrum. Saga is a kooky and endearing character and while it could be said that she lacks empathy, her curiosity about relationships and social cues paints her in a sensitive light.
A less dark and creepy series is Parenthood (2010-2015) about the Braverman family in California. Max Braverman is diagnosed with Asperger’s early on in the series, at the age of eight.
I remember watching the episode where Max’s parents react to his diagnosis, identifying with their sense of confusion and feeling a little less isolated for it. My son has watched a couple of Parenthood episodes on Youtube, also finding it affirming and believable. Max is a complex, evolving character who navigates life on the spectrum, meltdowns and all. He isn’t always likeable, but the show gives viewers an insight into his unique outlook and what life on the spectrum might be like for individuals and their family.
Max in Parenthood is a nuanced character.
Protagonists with autism help to demystify what has long been a stigmatised condition. But we are setting up unrealistic expectations if characters do not represent the everyday fabric of society, albeit in the form of a Muppet.
If children can find a little bit of themselves or their friends in characters on the screen or in books, they can see autism from a different perspective. They can see that characters like Julia needn’t be taboo or controversial, but rather, merit acceptance and inclusion.

Tech and Philanthropic Leaders Launch Million Girls Moonshot to Close the Gender Gap in STEM
Posted on September 16, 2020 Author Business Wire Comments Off on Tech and Philanthropic Leaders Launch Million Girls Moonshot to Close the Gender Gap in STEM
The collective impact initiative will work with afterschool programs nationwide to increase diversity and equity in science, technology, engineering and math
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Intel Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation have joined STEM Next Opportunity Fund and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation to launch the Million Girls Moonshot. The effort is designed to engage one million school-age girls in the U.S. in STEM learning opportunities over the next five years. The organizations will provide grant funding and in-kind resources to Mott-funded afterschool networks in all 50 states to increase access to hands-on, immersive STEM learning experiences.
“When my father, Robert Noyce, and Gordon Moore founded Intel, they built upon the experiences of their youth, where they had opportunities to build, invent, engineer and experiment. These hands-on experiences gave them a sense of initiative, perseverance and a belief that they could create revolutionary new technologies,” said Dr. Penny Noyce, founding board chair, STEM Next Opportunity Fund. “The Million Girls Moonshot will help girls from diverse backgrounds develop this same engineering mindset, and I’m thrilled at the way it continues the legacy of Intel’s founders and their passion for advancing STEM.”
“The Million Girls Moonshot harnesses the spirit of innovation — in philanthropy and in afterschool programming — to reimagine our nation’s next generation of engineers, problem-solvers, builders and makers,” said Ridgway White, president and CEO of the Mott Foundation. “We’re delighted that the Intel and Moore Foundations will join us in an effort to promote gender equity by empowering girls through STEM learning opportunities.”
Just as the original moonshot united the nation behind a common goal and dramatically advanced scientific achievement, the Million Girls Moonshot aims to create a national movement to change the trajectory of women and girls in STEM. Led by STEM Next Opportunity Fund, the Million Girls Moonshot will tap a wide range of funding and programmatic partners, including NASA, Qualcomm Incorporated, Technovation, National Girls Collaborative Project, CSforALL, JFF, Techbridge Girls, STEMconnector and Lyda Hill Philanthropies.
“Every girl deserves access to high-quality education to achieve their dream career, regardless of their ZIP code or family’s socioeconomic status,” said Gabriela A. Gonzalez, deputy director, Intel Foundation. “The powerful synergies from collaborating with other organizations who share these values achieve a larger collective social impact to advance gender equity and parity in STEM fields, and more important, elevate girls’ future prospects for a better quality of life. Equipping youth with emerging technology skills in Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, and Internet of Things is also critical for an inclusive and diverse future workforce. By joining this movement, we are expanding, scaling and sustaining the spirit of Intel’s She Will Connect signature initiative, which is something that no sole organization can do alone.”
Closing the Gender Gap in STEM is Critical for Our Nation’s Future
Women make up half of the total U.S. college-educated workforce, but are vastly underrepresented in STEM fields, comprising just 16 percent of engineers, for example. Black and Latina women have even less representation, at approximately two percent each. With economic projections pointing to a need for one million more STEM professionals than the country will produce at its current rate over the next decade, engaging and keeping more girls in STEM pursuits will be critically important for solving our nation’s most pressing challenges.
“We’re happy to be inaugural partners in the Million Girls Moonshot and its all-hands-on-deck effort to break down the systemic barriers that exist for girls in STEM,” said Janet Coffey, Ph.D., program director, Science, for the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. “This generation of young people will be the COVID-19 generation. By fostering an engineering mindset and a spirit of scientific exploration, curiosity, and discovery, we can empower them to build a better world.”
Afterschool Programs are Important for Engaging, Keeping Girls in STEM
Over the past several decades, afterschool and out-of-school programs have developed expertise in providing the kind of immersive, hands-on learning experiences that are critical to helping students gain fluency in STEM subjects. This school year, the opportunity is even greater as students and families face many more hours outside of the traditional classroom. From running STEM activities virtually and distributing STEM kits to students, to offering small-group, in-person services on remote school days and during traditional afterschool hours, afterschool programs have stepped up to keep students engaged and learning. The potential for impact is enormous: The nation’s 100,000 afterschool programs serve more than 10 million young people.
To support programs as they pivot to meet students’ needs, the Million Girls Moonshot will provide afterschool networks with technical assistance, educational resources, access to Intel’s She Will Connect partners and mentorship from STEM experts, including Intel employee volunteers. The initiative leverages more than $300 million in investments made by the Mott Foundation in the past two decades to advance afterschool programs and systems, including the development of afterschool networks in all 50 states, as well as Mizzen by Mott, an app that provides afterschool educators free access to high-quality content. Through consistent, equity-focused STEM programming and mentorship that engages girls throughout their youth, the Million Girls Moonshot will help weave together opportunities, ensuring that girls are inspired and supported to continue pursuing STEM in high school and beyond.
The Million Girls Moonshot welcomes a diverse group of cross-sector partners to join in expanding its reach, sustainability and impact. Learn more at MillionGirlsMoonshot.org.

The End of Ethanol?
By Jonathan H. Adler on November 22, 2010 9:37 pm in Energy, Environment
Maybe it’s the new mood in Congress. Maybe the stars are aligned. Whatever the cause, opposition to ethanol subsidies is cropping up in some unusual places — and just in time, as ethanol tax credits are set to expire in a few weeks.
Back in 2000, then-Vice President Al Gore touted ethanol subsidies as good for farmers and the environment. This was no surprise, as the Clinton-Gore Administration worked to expand ethanol mandates under the Clean Air Act. However much ethanol programs helped corn farmers, they were never much good for the environment, something Gore now admits. Reuters reports:
“It is not a good policy to have these massive subsidies for (U.S.) first generation ethanol,” said Gore, speaking at a green energy business conference in Athens sponsored by Marfin Popular Bank.
“First generation ethanol I think was a mistake. The energy conversion ratios are at best very small.
“It’s hard once such a programme is put in place to deal with the lobbies that keep it going.”
Meanwhile, on the other end of the political spectrum, Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Jim DeMint (R-SC) are taking aim at ethanol subsidies as yet another special-interest energy policy boondoggle that should be opposed by free-marketeers and environmental activists alike. Greg Sargent reports:
With billions in ethanol subsidies set to expire this year, including a 45-cent-a-gallon tax credit for ethanol blenders that heaped nearly $5 billion on to the deficit last year, it appears senators DeMint and Coburn are dead serious about pressing the point.
DeMint, who bucked the GOP establishment by successfully rounding up enough support for an earmarks ban, said in a statement emailed my way:
“Government mandates and tax subsidies for ethanol have led to decreased gas mileage, adversely effected the environment and increased food prices. Washington must stop picking winners and losers in the market, and instead allow Americans to make choices for themselves.”
“We need to let the ethanol subsidies expire and we need energy developed based on market forces,” Senator Coburn added in an interview with me. He said Senators who are not willing to let them expire are “just protecting a parochial interest ahead of the national interest.”
Coburn added that a failure to let the subsidies expire would show that Republicans were not heeding the message their electoral victory sent about reining in spending — precisely what Tea Partyers argued about earmarks.
As Jonathan Zasloff notes, the ethanol issue also presents Republicans with an opportunity to show how less government intervention can be better for the environment.
Ethanol is a lose-lose proposition any way you slice it: it costs a big chunk of money, it’s horrible for the environment, and it does nothing but enrich special interests. It’s particularly bad on the climate, because the amount of emissions requiring to produce a liter of ethanol is actually more than just using gasoline. Kudos to Senators Coburn and DeMint for pushing this.
If Republicans fail to take action on ethanol, it will demonstrate the shallowness of their commitment to limiting government largesse and give credence to arguments that Republicans are only for less government when it’s good for special interests.

Samsungs Gear S3 goes a little too big
Posted By on May 28, 2017
Samsungs never shied away from going big. Big phones, big TVs, big watches. In fact, that was one of the defining characteristics for the first few generations of the Gear line, the first few of which were really more wrist-worn tablet than smartwatch.
Things thankfully mellowed out a bit last year with the introduction of the S2, a more minimalist approach to wrist-worn computing that married clever functionality with a refined OS and a design that actually looked like an honest to goodness watch.
But 2016 marked a return to big. Samsung was all about pushing things close to the breaking point this year, and in at least one notable instance, well beyond. The Gear S3 marks a return to big. As ever, the companys jam-packed the watch with features which might feel like they were overflowing were the watch not so darn big in the first place. In many ways, the new watch feels like the Galaxy Note strategy applied to the wrist albeit without all of the baggage that has recently become associated with that line.
This really needs to be mentioned right off the bat theres really no way around it the S3 is really, really big. Really, really. Sure, its not quite Galaxy Gear huge, but its distractingly big. Im roughly six feet tall and possess what I assume to be average-sized wrists for a male individual of my height, and the Gear S3 still felt big. Just for the sake of conversation, I asked two 54 coworkers to try it on, and the wearable looked downright comical.
When the device first launched at IFA, I asked a rep about the thought process behind releasing such a large watch, and he chalked it up to fashion, citing the popularity of 42mm watches. Perhaps, but coupled with the added case depth required for a smartwatchs electronics and battery, and youve got a device that could serve to cut out a large portion of the populace by size alone.
The S3 weighs in at 63 grams, owing in no small part to its stainless steel casing. Thats around 13 grams heavier than the new Apple watch (which was itself heavier than its predecessor). And at 12.9 millimeters thick, its not really made for wearing with long sleeves. My sweater managed to pull over it (albeit with a visible bump), but my button-up shirt had a bit more trouble making it over.
And forget trying to sleep with the thing on. Its hard to understand why the company didnt, at the very least, offer the watch in two different sizes. After all, its available in two different configurations. As such, Samsung has alienated all but a small sliver of the smartwatch-buying audience.
Big wheel keep on turning
The S3 Frontier also marks an aesthetic departure from its predecessor, with a steel case that takes on a more classic design that its sporty (some might have said plasticky) predecessor. Its certainly a classier and more versatile look than many other smartwatches and fitness bands. With the right band, it can fit in comfortably in, say, an office setting, which isnt something that can be said for many of the neon colored wearables out there.
The rubber strap that ships with the Frontier version is a marked step down from the design of the watch itself. Its designed to play alongside the watchs rugged focus, lending itself to outdoor excursions and sweat-addled workouts. Of course, the upside of the standardized 22mm strap is that youll never want for options on that front. Samsung actually teamed with a pair of designers to create bands specifically for the watch but save yourself some cash and just pick up a regular old strap.
The S2s best feature has, thankfully returned. And its even better than before. The rotating bezel was a terrific addition to that last device. At 1.3 inches, the display isnt super small, so far as smartwatches go, but as with Apples offering, additional input is needed for quickly moving through screens.
The wheel does the job fantastically and even more intuitively than Apples option. This steel version is smooth, zipping through menus, though the small articulation gap between bezel case is a bit of a magnet for lint and other small particles that could require the occasional blast of canned air for maintenance. The watch does sport a pair of buttons, as well back and power which sit fairly flush with the watch casing.
Saving face
The 1.3-inch display is a touch larger than the S2s, but still doesnt cover the same ground as the Apple Watchs 1.65. At 278ppi, its also a bit less pixel dense, but its plenty bright and sharp. Samsungs Tizen icons are clear and bright, even in daylight. The device features an Always On mode, to make it function more like an analog watch, though thats turned off by default and hidden under the Style menu in settings, for reasons the battery-life warning make clear.
Thats packed behind the latest version of Gorilla Glass, making the watch shatter and scratch resistant. That, coupled with a big steel frame, makes for an extremely rugged wearable. Its listed as MIL-STD-810G Military Grade Rating, which protects it from drops up to 4.9 feet and IP68, which puts its water rating at up to five feet for 30 minutes. Its also protected from extreme temperatures, making the Frontier every bit as rugged as its name implies.
Wearable hardware
The battery has been upgraded to 380 mAh, a marked bump over the Apple Watchs 273 mAh. The company rates life at around three days, but I was able to get closer to two days with Always On mode off owing likely in no small part to the onboard LTE on the Frontier. Youll find yourself charging it less often than the Apple Watch, but youre still not getting near fitness band territory here.
The LTE is a great option, the usefulness of which depends entirely upon how you interact with your watch. If you have your phone on you all or most of the time, its probably not worth the added cost, which breaks down to an extra $10 a month in addition to an existing data plan or $40 for a brand new one on AT&T. If, however, youre looking to the wrist as a temporary liberation from the watch for, say, long cross-country runs, its a terrific feature.
Either way, its a solid addition to the smartwatch that seemingly already has everything, delivering quick data directly to the watch without needing to be tethered to a handset at all times. And theres always the bonus ability of using the built-in speaker to make wrist-based phone calls, finally fulfilling the long-awaited Dick Tracy promise.
The S3 also brings built-in GPS to the watch (previously only available on the specialty 3G version of the S2), another big bonus for the wearables outdoorsy functionality, and brings a lot to the table on the fitness tracking front, particularly for hikers and runners who like to go long distance.
Tizen time
Among other things, Samsungs got the decided benefit of several generations of smartwatches under its belt. The company switched from Android to Tizen between the Galaxy Gear and Gear 2, and really hit its stride with last years S2. The software experience is smooth and customizable holding down on an icon, for instance, lets you customize and re-order screens.
The app selection is still limited compared to the competition, but youve got some key ones here, including Uber and Flipboard, along with the recent (and important) addition of Spotify. You can add a select number of apps directly onto the watch or flip over to the phone to view more and get the full app store experience.
For the most part, I found my engagements limited to Samsungs own apps; the company has done a good job building up its own ecosystem. The companys S Health has become quite robust over the last few generations, making the most of onboard sensors like GPS and heart rate, and Samsung Pay brings added utility of paying by scanning your wrist near a card reader.
Samsungs had a few generations more than much of its competition to refine its smartwatch experience. Last year the company finally hit upon a winning formula with the S2, a great combination of design, functionality and software refinement.
And while the S2 is getting a good number of software upgrades to bring it up to speed, the $350 S3 Frontier offers some key hardware bumps over its predecessor. Those largely feel iterative, but welcome. The new size, on the other hand, is a big misfire for Samsung. The smartwatch space is already a marginalized one, and making a massive device like the S3 further restricts the product from too many wrists.

Russian spaceport officials are being sacked left and right
Vladimir Putin, middle, and Dmitry Rogozin, far proper, tour Russia’s new Vostochny Cosmodrome in October, 2015.
The controversial chief of Russia’s house enterprises, Dmitry Rogozin, has continued a spree of firings which have seen most of the nation’s prime spaceport officers fired, arrested, or each.
Most not too long ago, on November 27, Russian media reported that Rogozin fired the chief of the Heart for Exploitation of Floor-Primarily based House Infrastructure, which administers all of Russia’s spaceports. Andrei Okhlopkov, the chief of this Roscosmos subsidiary, had beforehand confronted a reprimand from Rogozin for “repeated shortcomings in his work.” The spaceport group has greater than 12,000 workers.
Earlier this month, Rogozin additionally fired Vladimir Zhuk, chief engineer of the middle that administers Russian spaceports. Based on Russian media experiences, Zhuk was then arrested for abusing his authority in signing off on water provide contracts.
Each of those officers had been working to carry Russia’s latest spaceport, Vostochny, within the far japanese area of the nation, as much as its full capability. In an article titled “At Vostochny A Day By no means Goes By With out Somebody Going to Jail,” The Kommersant newspaper reported that Zhuk knew that water provide networks for the Vostochny spaceport weren’t accomplished when he approved their cost. (This text was translated for Ars by Rob Mitchell).
Development undertaking drags on
A number of different key officers linked with the Vostochny Cosmodrome—underneath improvement since 2011 and supposed to cut back Russia’s reliance on the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan—have additionally been not too long ago let go. These embody Vostochny head Evgeny Rogoz (fired and underneath home arrest), Vostochny director Roman Bobkov (fired and arrested), and Protection Ministry Inspector Common Dmitriy Fomintsev (arrested).
Development of the spaceport has been riven with corruption, usually by way of embezzlement, and general value estimates of the power have elevated to greater than $7.5 billion. Of the deliberate seven launch pads, only one is operational. A Soyuz-2 rocket first launched from this “Web site 1S” in April, 2016. A second pad, “Web site 1A,” may even see the launch of an Angara rocket subsequent yr.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been important of delays at Vostochny, most not too long ago in 2019, citing considerations about corruption. It’s not clear whether or not the most recent spherical of firings is expounded to a latest assembly Putin had with Rogozin to go over the nation’s house affairs. Plainly by firing and arresting his subordinates, Rogozin has thus far been capable of shirk the blame for the Vostochny troubles onto different officers.
Nonetheless, his time could also be coming. Rogozin is not any stranger to corruption considerations, and Roscosmos is dealing with severe monetary challenges. Not solely is Russia not receiving massive funds from NASA for Soyuz seats to hold its astronauts to the Worldwide House Station, however funding from United Launch Alliance for the RD-180 rocket engine can even be ending inside a number of years. And there are severe questions on whether or not Russia’s next-generation Angara rocket will be capable to compete with SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket for business launches.

Grandmothers step in to walk bride down aisle as pandemic scuppers plans for seven bridesmaids
It’s not every day you watch your new bride walked down the aisle by her two elderly grandmothers – but that’s exactly what happened to one groom.
ewtownards man Tom Cahoon had spent months planning his dream wedding to Megan Kennedy on March 28, 2020.
But then, with just two weeks to go before the big day, Covid-19 struck.
Tom (35) and Megan (34), who live in London, met on the Match.com dating website in the summer of 2017 and got engaged in late 2018.
The pandemic forced the couple to make the difficult decision to postpone their wedding to October 3 last year.
As the new date drew closer and more coronavirus restrictions came their way, they feared their nuptials would have to be put on hold a second time.
Determined to say “I do”, they decided on a small ceremony at their local church, St Stephen’s in Dulwich, followed by a reception at the Corinthia Hotel in Whitehall with 30 guests, in line with the guidelines at that point. Two weeks before the big day, new rules meant the guest list had to be cut again to 15.
“It was all so incredibly stressful as we were so disappointed when we couldn’t get married in March. With the rules changing so quickly we really didn’t believe the wedding was going to happen until the actual day,” Megan told the Belfast Telegraph.
“We couldn’t even let ourselves get excited until the very last minute as we knew there was always a risk it would all get cancelled again.”
In order to accommodate close family only in their 15, Megan’s original bridal party of 10, including seven bridesmaids, had to be rearranged.
Instead, she turned to “the strongest and bravest women” she knows – her two grans, Mary Kennedy (90) and Gillian Holloway (80), who gladly stepped in.
“I’m very close to my two grandmothers. They were always going to be my VIP guests on the day so that was a big factor in our decision to go ahead in October just to make sure they could be there with us,” she added.
“I ruined all my walking down the aisle photographs, because I was just crying with relief.”
Both bridesmaids had been shielding since March and were only able to attend for a short time, while also staying well away from other guests.
Megan admits that when she first told them of her plan, they both laughed, but soon got into the spirit of it.
“They thought it was ridiculous at first and that we should give their places to others, as our numbers were so limited,” she said.
“When I explained how important it was to me to have them there by my side on the most important day of my life, they both agreed and then got so excited.”
Tom said: “I thought it was a great idea, and what Megan should have done from the very beginning, as I felt her bridal party of 10 seemed a bit excessive!”
The couple are hoping to have a bigger wedding celebration this September, using as many of their original plans as possible.
Two of the original bridesmaids, Megan’s sister and her cousin, were able to be in the church last October, and happily stood aside in favour of Mary and Gillian, while some others turned up outside afterwards as a surprise.
“They were totally understanding about the fact that we had to make some cutthroat decisions,” Megan added.
“They thought it was a really nice idea to ask my grandmothers instead. All being well they’ll still get to step into the roles and wear their bridesmaid dresses as planned this September.
Tom explained that many of his family and friends had also been due to fly over to join the celebrations.
“In the end it was just my parents Jill and Ernie, who travelled over from Ards along with my brother John from Belfast, while my sister Naomi came from Dublin. My other two sisters, Sarah and Hannah, live in London, but my brother Nathan, who is in Edinburgh, missed the wedding as he developed Covid symptoms and had to self-isolate,” he said.
“Thankfully, he tested negative in the end, but my best friend had to step in and act as best man instead.
“Hopefully, Nathan will be able to make it in September along with a lot of my dad’s side of the family from Cookstown.”
Megan added: “There’s still a lot of uncertainty over whether our venue and vendors will all still be in business by then, but if the reception goes ahead without any restrictions it’ll be a very much-needed reunion and party for everyone after all this time.”

How Has Ryan Day Made the Ohio State Quarterbacks Better?
Once Tim Beck decided entirely on his own to leave Ohio State for Texas, Urban Meyer had to find the next-best quarterbacks coach in the country to replace him. His search ultimately brought him to Ryan Day, who he once employed as a graduate assistant back in his Florida Gator days.
When Day got to Ohio State, he found a quarterback room loaded with potential. His job was to turn that potential into production.
He had an entire winter and spring with his four scholarship quarterbacks, and now there are just over two weeks away from the first game of the 2017 season.
Day has met with the media several times since his arrival, and he has shared the work that he and his players have put in to prepare for this coming season. To a man, those players believe they are much better off than they were a year ago. While that should be the natural progression for any player regardless of the coach, the quarterbacks have had no problem crediting Day with their improvement, and it starts with the relationships that have been built over the last eight months.
“I would say just our relationship in general with all four people in the room is getting closer,” redshirt sophomore Joe Burrow said. “That might just be another year in the room together, it might be Coach Day, it might be Coach Beck, I don’t really know, I just know our relationship is closer now than it was last year.”
The room is now closer than it has ever been, and so is the competition. Players are pushing each other, they are learning from each other, and they are taking what Day is teaching and putting it to use each day on the field.
“He’s gotten me a lot better as a quarterback,” Burrow said. “He’s gotten all of us a lot better as quarterbacks and I’m excited to put it on the field this year. I’ve been trying to quicken my release even more. Last year it got a little long again. I got better last spring but I think It’s getting better again. I would say my arm is a lot stronger and my release is a lot quicker, my feet are a lot quicker. Just my mechanics have gotten better in general.”
Footwork has been a sizable issue as well.
“It’s a really big part of the mechanics of throwing,” Burrow said. “Before I was just using the upper body. Now I’ve learned how to put my whole body into it.”
As a teacher, the players have appreciated Day’s approach.
“He is really calm,” said senior J.T. Barrett. “He does a great job the way he coaches. He’s very particular, but everything you do has an explanation behind it. There’s a reason why we do certain things. There’s more of a breaking down process on why we do things like we do.”
While each of the quarterbacks has improved in the fundamentals of the position, there has been plenty of work put into the mental aspect of the game as well. That includes having a better grasp of the offense and being a leader, but also involves the implementation of some new “QB theory” as well. For instance, how do you throw the ball to a guy who isn’t open? It’s not quite “What’s the sound of one hand clapping?” but it does require some thought.
“Coach Day brought that coming from the NFL,” Barrett said. “In the NFL nobody is really open if you think about it. You think about third downs and playing man to man, nobody is really open. What we do on defense here at Ohio State with the press corners is challenging every throw. That’s definitely something we talk about. You have to do your best to get your guy the opportunity to touch the football.
“Last year if somebody was draped all over my guy, in certain situations, third down I would do that, but even if it’s first-and-ten, second down, give my guy the opportunity to go make a play for us instead of just checking the ball or running it, things like that. It’s just a different mindset and Coach Day really brought it to teaching us quarterbacks. When you get to higher-level football like last year when we were playing Clemson, was there anybody just open running free? Not really, because that’s the top tier of football when the skill levels are equated.”
So not only has Day improved the footwork and throwing mechanics of how to throw the ball, he is also teaching his quarterbacks where to throw. That mindset has led to a much larger focus on the deep ball, but it is just as apt on a second-and-7 comeback route. Throws have to be made and Day is trying to teach his guys how and where to make it happen.
For redshirt freshman Dwayne Haskins, his learning process has been as much about simply maturing as anything else. As a true freshman last season, his head was spinning. Eventually that spinning slows down. That’s when the real growth happens.
“Honestly, I’m different last from to this year with the maturity factor,” Haskins said. “Just being more mature. I feel like I took really great strides in spring ball and I’m just continuing to do that in fall camp. I feel like I’ve improved in owning the offense and being a general on the field.”
The players have clearly bought in, and it helps that they continue to see the results each day. For Day, this is exactly what he signed up for.
“I think there’s a respect level there,” he said. “I have a lot of respect for them, they’re very talented, and they’re very good in the classroom. I think when we go in there together and have conversations about football, I think they respect the fact that what I tell them and what goes on in the meeting room happens on the fields, and they can carry that over.”

Burrow at this point would definitely come in if Barrett were to get injured. Next year is when the QB competition is going to get interesting.
It will be interesting if Tate Martell red shirts or not. Martell could win the job who knows? Emory Jones could be the starter as a true frehsman next year..,anything can happen. I see someone transferring.

I go with Burrow.

Ed you know that Burrows is the good, how ?
Aug 16, 2017 by Edward F Hopper
I don’t believe Meyer will declare an official backup QB until If or when Barrett goes down. The injury will force a decision. He will list them as Haskins OR Burrow. If he were to do otherwise it would force a transfer. I know this sounds selfish but that is how most coaches operate. Meyer will go with Haskins if this scenario plays out. I really feel bad for Burrow because he is the only QB in the room with any chance of being a Pro QB. Burrow needs to transfer. He would be the starter at Michigan. He is that GOOD!!!
Aug 16, 2017 by Todd Elliott
Burrow will have his shot to start next year–he doesn’t need to transfer. I hope Barrett stays healthy but if something did happen i’d be pretty surprised if Burrow wouldn’t be the qb to come in.

Henry developed a enormous publicity machine in Detroit to make certain each and every newspaper carried stories and advertisements about the new Ford Model T. Ford’s network of neighborhood dealers made the car found in nearly each and every city in North America. When it comes to these additives the entire world can most likely agree with poet Thomas Gray’s now popular phrase that ignorance is bliss”.
If there is a possibility of charging an electric automobile (Vehicle) with Little Wind Turbines, Solar PV Cells fitted as further components to it, and it requirements to be quite financial for a typical person to buy then there shall be a fantastic alter in the transport system.

Last year, Japanese auto manufacturer Toyota managed to sell the biggest quantity of vehicles worldwide, the fourth year in a row it managed to be the largest brand, regardless of decrease sales compared to the year just before. In 1904, Billy Durant purchased the ailing Buick firm, and succeeded once more in restructuring this company in 15 years time to the biggest automobile manufacturer in the USA, after Henry Ford. By comparison, Toyota mentioned on Tuesday it sold 5.02 million cars between January and June, a 1.five {df689a5daea0ad974af0210d1ab0b738e2b2d2c2d6627268f3a2d2363c067911} decline on year-ago levels. Honda is 1 of the brand names in Japan on the automotive sector has millions of buyers about the planet.
Renault has not too long ago tied up with Nissan and Daimler AG. Formerly known as Daimler Chrysler, the AG might be out of this list but it still has a great reputation amongst vehicle buyers. But revised bearings are not a remedy, so don’t assume that a automobile equipped with this upgraded IMS bearing means there is no danger. Walmarts typical shop spend is about $9.63 per hour, not even close to the $11.06 an hour that the government considers the top end of low wages for a household of four.
No longer the biggest automaker in the globe, America’s Common Motors ranked just ahead of the VW Group and second behind Toyota Motor last year in worldwide sales with 9.71 million new cars and trucks sold.

bama authorize the removal
HEFEI， China， May 12 (Xinhua) -- There will be no doubt that Shang Chunsong is going to compete at the Olympic Games for the first time this year as she showed her consistency at the National Gymnastics Championships here on Thursday.
The 20-year-old said that she felt little pressure and just needed to be confident.
Shang was close to be included in the squad of the 2012 London Olympics with her capacity in all-around but finally missed the Games due to unstableness in competitions and lack of experience.
Four years later， when Yao Jinnan， the only Olympian of the Chinese women's team was troubled by injuries， Shang stepped herself out as a reliable veteran.
She led Hunan to win the women's team event with an advantage of more than four points and topped the women's all-around qualification on Thursday.
""My performance was not bad，"" said a cool-headed Shang， who was a member of the team to collect the silver medal of the team event at last year's World Championships.
""I could not say that I felt no pressure but it's only a little，"" said Shang.
Shang collected the highest marks in uneven bars as well as beam， and was ranked second in floor exercise.
She believed that as long as she could keep confident and try her best to have fun in the competition， she would not have bad performances in all of the four events.
BEIJING， July 9 (Xinhua) -- China's meteorological authority issued an orange alert for heavy rain in the south and southwest of the country on Saturday.
Heavy rain will hit the provinces of Fujian， Jiangxi， Shanxi， Sichuan and Zhejiang on Saturday and Sunday， with precipitation reaching 300 millimeters in some areas， the National Meteorological Center said on its website.
The center advised people living in the affected areas to take precautions against possible floods and landslides， and those living in mountainous areas to move to safe places.
China has a four-tier color-coded system for severe weather， with red being the most serious， followed by orange， yellow and blue.
Since June 30， floods， hail and landslides have killed 164 people in China， mainly along the Yangtze River and its tributaries， and have left 26 missing， the Ministry of Civil Affairs said Friday morning.
The disasters have also led to the collapse of 73，000 houses and forced the evacuation of 1.99 million people. More than 1 million people are in urgent need of basic living assistance.
The Chinese Red Cross Foundation (CRCF) has sent 13，000 relief packages to areas devastated by widespread flooding.
Of the packages， 8，000 have been sent to central Hubei Province， 3，000 to eastern Anhui Province， 1，000 to central Hunan Province and the rest to southwestern Guizhou Province.
The packages comprise quilts， towels， mosquito coils， cooking oil and other supplies， which are being given out to affected families.

PANAMA CITY [url=http://www.seahawksfanaticproshop.com/nazair-jones-seahawks-jersey/]Nazair Jones Seahawks Jersey[/url] , April 9 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez held a closed-door meeting here Thursday evening, which was the highest-level talks between Washington and Havana since they broke off diplomatic relations in 1961.
John Kerry and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez held a closed-door meeting Thursday John Kerry and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez held a closed-door meeting Thursday
The meeting came ahead of a historic encounter between U.S. President Barack Obama and Cuban leader Raul Castro on the sidelines of upcoming the seventh Summit of the Americas on Friday and Saturday.
The U.S. State Department has completed review of Cuba' s status and recommended the White House remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism List.
Should Obama authorize the removal during the summit [url=http://www.seahawksfanaticproshop.com/delano-hill-seahawks-jersey/]Delano Hill Seahawks Jersey[/url] , it would mark a big step in the rapprochement between two countries.
But the dismissal will not take effect immediately because the White House has to submit the report to Congress for a 45-day review.
The United States first put Cuba's name on list of states sponsoring terrorism in 1982, which has been a sticking point to the two nations' efforts to restore diplomatic relations.
Obama and Raul Castro announced in mid-December last year they would work to normalize their ties. Ever since [url=http://www.seahawksfanaticproshop.com/shaquill-griffin-seahawks-jersey/]Shaquill Griffin Seahawks Jersey[/url] , three rounds of talks on restoring diplomatic ties and re-opening embassies have been held.

New research sheds light on the life of Saint Erik
Pubblicato marzo 20, 2016 | Da Antrocom

The saint’s legend speaks of a king who died a dramatic death in battle outside the church where he had just celebrated mass. But what can modern science tell us about his remains? A joint research project headed by Uppsala University now reveals more of the health condition of the medieval king Erik, what he looked like, where he lived and what the circumstances of his death were.
No contemporary sources mention Erik Jedvardsson, the Swedish king who was later sainted. The only account of his life is the saint’s legend, in its preserved form written in the 1290’s. Such legends are often unreliable. The Erik legend is, however, based on an older legend which has been lost, and this longer legend may have been much older.
The preserved legend says that Erik was chosen to be king, ruled fairly, was a devoted Christian, led a crusade against Finland, and supported the Church. He was killed in 1160, in his tenth year of rule, by a Danish claimant to the throne. His remains have rested in a reliquary since 1257.
A thorough analysis of the skeleton in the reliquary was conducted in 1946, but the availability of new methods of analysis motivated a new examination in 2014. On 23 April 2014, the reliquary was opened at a ceremony in Uppsala Cathedral. After this, researchers from several scientific disciplines set to work running tests on the remains in an attempt to learn more about the medieval king. Now, the first results of these examinations are made public.
’The interdisciplinary research collaboration on the analysis of the skeletal remains of Saint Erik provides extensive information about his health condition (orthopaedists and radiologists), genealogy (aDNA analysis), diet (isotopanalys), and his death (forensic medicine)’, says project leader Sabine Sten, professor of osteoarchaeology at Uppsala University.
The reliquary contains 23 bones, seemingly from the same individual. They are also accompanied by an unrelated shinbone. The radiocarbon values measured in the bones are consistent with a death in 1160. The osteological analysis shows that the bones belong to a man, 35-40 years old and 171 cm tall.
Examinations of the bones using computer tomography at the University Hospital in Uppsala found no discernible medical conditions. DXA- and pQCT measurements conducted at the same hospital found that Erik did not suffer from osteoporosis, or brittleness of the bones. Quite the opposite, as he had a bone density about 25 percent above that of the average young adult of today. King Erik was well-nourished, powerfully built and lived a physically active life.
The isotope analysis points to a diet rich in freshwater fish, which indicates that the king obeyed the church rules on fasts, i.e. days or period when the consumption of meat was forbidden. Stable isotopes also imply that he did not spend his last decade in the expected Uppsala area but rather in the province of Västergötland further south. These conclusions should however be considered very preliminary, as there are as of yet very few other studies to compare the isotope values to.
The opening of the reliquary also saw DNA samples taken. It is hoped that these will produce results that will shed new light on questions of genealogy. This analysis has not yet been completed, and is expected to take another year. The researchers can, however, reveal that the samples have yielded DNA information.
The cranium in the reliquary is dented by one or two healed wounds that may have been due to weapons. The legends say that Erik led a crusade against Finland, which is thought to be a possible explanation of the injuries.
The saint’s legend says that in the king’s final battle, the enemy swarmed him, and when he fell to the ground they gave him wound after wound until he lay half dead. They then taunted him and finally cut off his head. The remaining bones have at least nine cuts inflicted in connection with death, seven of them on the legs. No wounds have been found on the ribs or the remaining arm bone, which probably means that the king wore a hauberk but had less protected legs. Both shin bones have cuts inflicted from the direction of the feet, indicating that the victim lay on his front.
A neck vertebra has been cut through, which could not have been done without removing the hauberk, i.e. not during battle. This confirms that there was an interlude, as described by the taunting in the legend, between battle and decapitation. At no point do the documented wounds gainsay the account of the fight given by the much later legend.
The research results will be published in an upcoming article in the journal Fornvännen.

ARGX-115
ARGX-115, now known as ABBV-151, was designed as a SIMPLE Antibody® inhibitor of GARP-TGF-β1 and is being investigated by AbbVie for the treatment of cancer. ARGX-115 is designed to block GARP and to reactive the immune system against tumors.
Prof. Sophie Lucas, M.D., Ph.D.
ARGX-115 (now ABBV-151) was designed to build on the pioneering research from the De Duve/Ludwig Institutes that unraveled how tumors escape immune surveillance.
While evaluating cancer vaccination, Profs. Pierre Coulis and Sophie Lucas identified GARP as a key switch to re-activate the patient’s own immune system against tumors.
Together, argenx and Profs. Coulis and Lucas designed ARGX-115 to modulate GARP. ARGX-115 has shown encouraging preclinical proof-of-concept and is currently being investigated in patients by Abbvie.

ARGX-115 is designed to block GARP and to reactivate the immune system against tumors.
How can we boost the immune system again to eliminate cancer cells?
This is the story of Professor Sophie Lucas and her research team at The de Duve Institute, located on the medical campus of the University of Leuven. Prof. Lucas and her team collaborated with the scientists of argenx to come up with a potential cancer therapy.
Our Immune System
Prof. Lucas explains the role of our immune system: “We know that the immune system in humans is mainly to defend ourselves against infections, like viral infections, bacterial infections, and parasitic infections.”
It has also been clearly demonstrated that the immune system can recognize cancer cells as abnormal and can initiate a process to eliminate them. Simplified, this is the remarkable role the immune system can play in surveillance.
Tumor escape
There are many different reasons why the immune system can lose its ability to identify or eliminate tumor cells – in this scenario, the tumor cells can escape surveillance by the immune system. Many labs today are trying to understand how tumor escape works, asking questions like: Why does it occur? How does it occur? How can we prevent it from occurring?
Prof. Lucas explains there are various reasons tumor escape occurs: “Either the immune cells cannot recognize the tumor cells because the tumor cells have become resistant to killing or else the immune cells have become paralyzed.”
In order to overcome tumor escape, “we have to boost the immune system again, to start doing its work, which is to eliminate the cancer cells. This is what we call cancer immunotherapy.”
The role of GARP
“Some cells in the immune system are specialized in recognizing and eliminating tumor cells. Other cells in the immune systems called Tregs or regulatory T-cells, are dampening immune responses to prevent autoimmunity or autoimmune diseases. We found out that these Tregs function thanks to a molecule on their surface called GARP. GARP tells the Tregs to exert their inhibitory function. What we have done together with argenx is to develop an antibody that can block the function of GARP on the surface of Tregs.”
In this way, a GARP inhibitor could have the potential to reactivate the immune system to eliminate cancer cells.
Collaborating with argenx
The GARP collaboration was the first one that Prof. Lucas established with argenx: “My lab was already working on Tregs and GARP and we had derived our own antibody with our usual technology. Together with argenx, we thought it could be nice to develop a similar [anti-GARP] antibody to the one we already had - but using argenx’s platform. The platform is extremely well-adapted and works beautifully to produce antibodies that have a therapeutic value.”
Co-creation of a unique antibody
“What we have done together with argenx is to develop an antibody that can block the function of GARP on the surface of Tregs. Blocking GARP helps to stop the function of Tregs, and hopefully restore the function of the anti-tumor T-cells that are supposed to eliminate the tumor.”
A collaboration of mutual respect
“This GARP project really is my baby. That's the feeling that I have had from the start, and that I still have now. The collaboration with argenx was respectful of my scientific investment and passion in the GARP project. I feel lucky to have been included in the development of this project, even while it was in the hands of argenx.”
ARGX-115, now known as ABBV-151, was partnered with AbbVie in 2016 under a Development and Exclusive License Option Agreement.

If Anthony LaCaze wins a championship Eagle for a record fourth straight year, his Junior Team USA Support 1 team will have to give it to him by winning Team All-Events, and, while they've taken the lead with a 9,672 score, that is well short of their average of 10,131 the last two years. Steve Novak led the team with a 2,019 all-events score.
A/S/L: 32/M/AZ
Last year Jeff Richgels predicted 9600 to win. While Junior Team USA 1 proved him wrong with an incredible performance, there weren't too many other teams to top the 9600 mark.
With how tough the patterns are, how much they're transitioning this year, the new lane panels and topography job, and just how good these guys are, their 9672 just might hold on.
There are maybe three or four teams left that you would expect to maybe put up a better number. But it wouldn't take too much of an off day for even the best teams to fall short of that lead.
I'm saying 9672 is a lot better in reality than it looks on paper. I would not be surprised to see it hold on.
It would take averaging 3225 a set to take the lead. So far, there have only been two 3200s bowled in the Team event, and I would bet there have been zero bowled in doubles.
Nowadays, I open bowl practice and go to Nationals every year.

See you in Reno 2020!
On the other hand, after a few days of thinking, Matt McNiel must be licking his chops right now. He's been bowling incredibly well lately, and so has his team. Scores aren't high, and that's their wheelhouse. There are a lot of good teams to go yet, but there aren't a lot of GREAT teams.
I'll be there to watch the Lakers bowl live. I bowl the same day, but the following squad. I watched every shot of his All-events win last year, and knew I was watching history unfold, but I have a feeling this year may be even better.
How many eagles does he win?

I've heard that to 'set up' the lanes in the Team event, bowlers should use a less aggressive ball and play down an in and once the lanes open up u can switch to a more aggressive ball an play deeper in. Which could almost apply to every year. Sadly, not every bowler can play down an in.
I'll be heading out there in a lil over a month so hopefully i'll do better than El Paso. Usually Reno is good to me, but who knows.

Beijing will build a tourist consumption cluster around the global theme park
On the basis of ensuring that the Universal Theme Park opens as scheduled, plan the industrial space layout of the park in advance.
With the opening date of Universal Beijing Resort approaching, how to lay out the spillover effect of the Universal Theme Park industry has become a problem for the industry. On the morning of January 12, at the special economic development press conference of the series of theme press conferences in Beijing "Reviewing the 13th Five-Year Plan and Looking Forward to the 14th Five-Year Plan" organized by the Beijing Municipal Government Information Office, Lin Enquan, Deputy Director of the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission introduced, During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, we will actively build an international consumer center city, encourage the development of new consumer formats and models, promote the construction of an international consumer hub in the airport economic zone of Daxing International Airport, and create a tourist consumption cluster around the global theme park. Regarding how to build a tourism consumption gathering area around the global theme park, a reporter from the Beijing Business Daily also learned from Tongzhou Cultural Tourism Zone that the area will attract and cultivate a number of cultural and technological enterprises such as IP design, animation and games, performing arts and entertainment, and arrange a number of high Quality consumer facilities.
It is understood that in the future, Tongzhou Cultural Tourism Zone will further encourage the holding of international cultural and entertainment performances and exchange activities, relax market access restrictions on cultural and entertainment industries, tourism, etc., and hold international cultural and entertainment performances, art and sporting goods exhibitions and trade fairs. Allow foreign investment in cultural performance groups (must be controlled by the Chinese party) to optimize the approval of commercial performance licenses; at the same time, actively cooperate with top domestic and foreign projects to carry out the introduction and settlement of related projects such as film and television copyright, animation games, and art trading, and spare no effort Intensify reform and innovation, further deepen and consolidate the expansion of the service industry, comprehensively enhance the capacity of the service industry in the park to expand and open, and build a cultural tourism complex integrating technology, leisure, entertainment and fashion.
In addition to the opening of the Beijing Universal Resort this year, in September last year, Wangfujing Group also revealed that the group will fully promote the implementation of the duty-free business and develop three types of duty-free shops: port duty-free, outlying island duty-free and city duty-free. Among them, it is planned to build a commercial complex integrating tax and tax exemption in Beijing Universal Resort. It can be seen that in the future, the duty-free sector may also be part of the tourism consumption area.
Regarding the development of the Tongzhou Cultural Tourism Zone, a reporter from Beijing Business Daily also learned from the district that on August 28 last year, according to the “Deepening the New Round of Beijing’s Service Industry Expansion and Opening up Comprehensive Pilot Program” approved by the State Council, a comprehensive demonstration of the expansion of the opening up of the national service industry was established. District Work Plan", agreed to take Tongzhou Cultural Tourism Zone as the leader to create a "new-type cultural, sports and tourism integrated development demonstration zone." Among them, Tongzhou Cultural Tourism District will also form a series of key open construction projects such as Beijing Universal Resort, International Talent Apartment, Art Exchange Center, and BTG Headquarters. At the same time, the cultural tourism area will integrate cultural tourism as a starting point and integrate with surrounding parks. The opening of the industry forms effective complementary linkages, and strives to build a "big cultural tourism" industry development with "Songzhuang original art in the north, Taihu performance town in the south, Zhangjiawan and urban green heart in the east, and a global theme resort in the east" pattern. Wu Dingyu, deputy director of the Administrative Committee of Tongzhou Cultural Tourism District, also stated in an interview with a reporter from Beijing Business Daily that Tongzhou Cultural Tourism District will make full use of the important policy dividends of the construction of Beijing’s "two districts" and focus on building "culture + tourism" and "cultural The two high-tech industrial clusters "+Technology" and "Culture+International" plan the industrial space layout of the park in advance on the basis of ensuring that the global theme park opens as scheduled.
It is also reported that Tongzhou Cultural Tourism Zone has also reserved a number of hotels, real estate and cultural projects to fully absorb the spillover effects brought by the global theme park, promote the industrial implementation of the park in an orderly manner, and actively develop interactive, experiential and immersive cultural tourism The project focuses on building high-precision "cultural +" industrial clusters. At the same time, actively connect with the pilot free trade zone to achieve industrial synergy and regional joint development. (*Article source: Beijing Business Daily)

… “do yourself a favor and write the answers down”
November 26, 2020 Shawn Vanness Uncategorized 0
We’ve just gone through an election, and after such a massive effort it’s important to take some time to reflect. That might sound mushy and boring and all about feel-feels. It’s not. It’s an incredibly important part of improving upon tactics and creating more effective future plans.
So, this week take some real time to ask yourself the following questions. Please also do yourself a favor and write the answers down. You could either write yourself an email, or you could draft a 1-2 page summary document. Keep it short so it’s actionable and something you can refer to. The goal here is to document the things that are fresh in your mind now – and get your creative juices flowing for how to make the next cycle even better.
What worked really well?
What did not work that we expected to work?
What did we need more of on or around election day?
What did we say we wished we would have started earlier or amplified?
What was the biggest win? What was the biggest disappointment?
What volunteers or coworkers really impressed us? How can we work with them or help them in the future? (You can also ask yourself the inverse…)
What partnerships were particularly helpful? Why?
What partnerships did you wish you had created – or started earlier? How can you start those conversations now?
Where do you see yourself in two years? Where do you WANT to be in two years?
What needs to happen NEXT year for you to get where you want to be in two years?
What can you do in the next SIX MONTHS to further that goal?
What challenges do you foresee?
What goals do you have for your organization in the next two years?
What needs to happen NEXT year for your organization to get where it needs to be in two years?
What electoral goals do you have for your community/region/state/country in the next two years?
What needs to happen NEXT year to make those goals realistic?
What can you do now, and in the next SIX MONTHS to facilitate those changes?
I like to think of this as a mission statement or business plan for your next two years. If you sit down and really think through all of these questions, you’ll already have a good sense for what you can improve on in the next cycle, and a good blueprint for how and when to do the work.”

There's a place in Version City
As far as I am concerned, the difference between something being great and something being the best is the difference between objectivity and subjectivity. For me, it's fairly self-evident that, whether or not their songs are your cup of tea, The Beatles are the greatest popular music group of all time. Their enormous influence on culture and wider society sees to that, even if you think they were rubbish and that Eleanor Rigby was a stinky bell end.
The best popular music group of all time though, that's something much more personal. Myself, I think that it is The Clash and have done for many years.
Which brings me to Sandinista!, their fourth studio album -a three-disc set which was released in 1980. I was released in 1980, too, immediately makes me feel a connection with it. I first heard Sandinista! in about 1999 and frankly it was a bit too much to take in. I pretty much fell into the way of thinking that a lot of people do - nice album, a lot of great songs, but imagine how great it would be if it had just been edited down to a single disc...
But I now realise that would not have made it great at all; rather, it would have detracted from its greatness. I now believe that Sandinista! is the greatest album ever made.
Its sheer size is just the start of it. Its scope and ambition are what set it aside. Four years previously, The Clash were a bunch of London herberts in the grubby UK punk scene, supporting the Sex Pistols. Two of them were even fairly musically limited when they started out, too. But by 1980 they were the biggest rock 'n' roll band on the planet. You'd have forgiven them for resting on their laurels and letting the money roll in.
Not a bit of it. As well as making an epic and sprawling 36 song set - comprising punk, rockabilly, rock 'n' roll, showtunes, reggae, genuine Jamaican dub, avant garde sound collage, gospel, soul, blues, rap and hip hop and a calypso protest song - they also released the whole thing for the price of a single LP, forgoing royalties on the sales to do so.
For me, it's a statement record. It is also a work of dazzling audacity, brilliance and unstaunchable creativity. It is also a true desert island disc - if I ever had to be a castaway, Sandinista! is the album I would take and never tire of. It may not be the best album ever released, but as far as I'm concerned its greatness has never been bettered, before or since.
It's not just a masterpiece, it's also a masterstroke. In fact, fuck it, it is also the best album ever made. Just decided.

Soltamox (Tamoxifen Citrate) - Summary
Soltamox Rx
Summary Description and Clinical Pharmacology Indications and Dosage Warnings and Precautions Side Effects and Adverse Reactions Drug Interactions, Overdosage, Contraindications, Other Rx Info Active Ingredients User Ratings / Reviews
Soltamox News
For Women with Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) and Women at High Risk for Breast Cancer
Serious and life-threatening events associated with tamoxifen in the risk reduction setting (women at high risk for cancer and women with DCIS) include uterine malignancies, stroke and pulmonary embolism. Incidence rates for these events were estimated from the NSABP P-1 trial (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies, Reduction in Breast Cancer Incidence In High Risk Women).
Uterine malignancies consist of both endometrial adenocarcinoma (incidence rate per 1,000 women-years of 2.20 for tamoxifen vs. 0.71 for placebo) and uterine sarcoma (incidence rate per 1,000 women years of 0.17 for tamoxifen vs. 0.0 for placebo) *. For stroke, the incidence rate per 1,000 women years was 1.43 for tamoxifen vs. 1.00 for placebo**. For pulmonary embolism, the incidence rate per 1,000 women years was 0.75 for tamoxifen versus 0.25 for placebo **.
Some of the strokes, pulmonary emboli, and uterine malignancies were fatal. Health care providers should discuss the potential benefits versus the potential risks of these serious events with women at high risk of breast cancer and women with DCIS considering tamoxifen to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer. The benefits of tamoxifen outweigh its risks in women already diagnosed with breast cancer.
* Updated long-term follow-up data (median length of follow-up is 6.9 years) from NSABP P-1 study. See WARNINGS, Effects on the Uterus-Endometrial Cancer and Uterine Sarcoma.
** See Table 3 under CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies.
SOLTAMOX SUMMARY
SOLTAMOX solution, a nonsteroidal antiestrogen, is for oral administration. Each 5 mL solution contains 15.2 mg tamoxifen citrate, equivalent to 10 mg tamoxifen.
Tamoxifen citrate is indicated for the following:
Metastatic Breast Cancer
Tamoxifen citrate is effective in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer in women and men. In premenopausal women with metastatic breast cancer, tamoxifen citrate is an alternative to oophorectomy or ovarian irradiation. Available evidence indicates that patients whose tumors are estrogen receptor positive are more likely to benefit from tamoxifen citrate therapy.
Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer
Tamoxifen citrate is indicated for the treatment of node-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women following total mastectomy or segmental mastectomy, axillary dissection, and breast irradiation. In some tamoxifen citrate adjuvant studies, most of the benefit to date has been in the subgroup with four or more positive axillary nodes.
Tamoxifen citrate is indicated for the treatment of axillary node-negative breast cancer in women following total mastectomy or segmental mastectomy, axillary dissection, and breast irradiation.
The estrogen and progesterone receptor values may help to predict whether adjuvant tamoxifen citrate therapy is likely to be beneficial.
Tamoxifen citrate reduces the occurrence of contralateral breast cancer in patients receiving adjuvant tamoxifen citrate therapy for breast cancer.
In women with DCIS, following breast surgery and radiation, tamoxifen citrate is indicated to reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer (see BOXED WARNING at the beginning of the label). The decision regarding therapy with tamoxifen for the reduction in breast cancer incidence should be based upon an individual assessment of the benefits and risks of tamoxifen therapy.
Current data from clinical trials support five years of adjuvant tamoxifen citrate therapy for patients with breast cancer.
Reduction in Breast Cancer Incidence in High Risk Women
Tamoxifen citrate is indicated to reduce the incidence of breast cancer in women at high risk for breast cancer. This effect was shown in a study of 5 years planned duration with a median follow-up of 4.2 years. Twenty-five percent of the participants received drug for 5 years. The longer term effects are not known. In this study, there was no impact of tamoxifen on overall or breast cancer-related mortality (see BOXED WARNING at the beginning of the label).
Tamoxifen citrate is indicated only for high-risk women. "High risk" is defined as women at least 35 years of age with a 5-year predicted risk of breast cancer ≥ 1.67%, as calculated by the Gail Model.

Clinical Trials Related to Soltamox (Tamoxifen)
Tamoxifen Versus Anastrozole, Alone or in Combination With Zoledronic Acid [Active, not recruiting]
The primary objective is, first, the comparison of tamoxifen and anastrozole and, second, the comparison of zoledronate added to standard adjuvant therapy with controls according to disease-free survival (DFS) in premenopausal patients with non-metastatic breast cancer treated with tamoxifen or anastrozole. To assess whether zoledronate added to standard adjuvant therapy can decrease or even prevent bone loss in patients treated with hormonal blockade combined with an antiestrogen or aromatase inhibitor.
Tamoxifen in Patients With Oesophageal Cancer [Not yet recruiting]
Cancer of the gullet (oesophagus) is a lethal disease in which only 15% of patients survive 5 years once diagnosed. It is more common in men than women, and men appear to have a worse prognosis. One suggestion for this gender difference is the sex hormone oestrogen, which exerts its effect via oestrogen receptors. The role of oestrogen in breast cancer is well described, and antioestrogen medication such as tamoxifen, which blocks oestrogen receptors are in widespread and effective use. The role of oestrogen receptors in oesophageal cancer however, is less well defined. Work conducted by the investigators, as well as another research group in Australia showed that antioestrogens including tamoxifen, reduce oesophageal cancer cell growth in the laboratory. To date, no studies have assessed the effect of tamoxifen therapy on oesophageal cancer growth in humans. The investigators propose a study to determine the effect of tamoxifen in patients with oesophageal cancer who aren't undergoing surgery or chemotherapy. Patients will receive tamoxifen tablets daily for 4 weeks after which time a biopsy (sample of cancer tissue) will be taken at gastroscopy (a flexible camera that is passed into the mouth through the gullet into the stomach). The biopsy will be compared with the biopsy taken at the time of diagnosis to determine if tamoxifen has had any effect on cancer cell growth. If this study shows that tamoxifen does slow cancer cell growth it could lead to a larger study of patients with oesophageal cancer taking tamoxifen for a longer time period to determine if there is any clinical benefit.
Tamoxifen Treatment in Patients With Motor Neuron Disease [Recruiting]
The aim of this study is to survey the effect of Tamoxifen in motor neuron disease (MND) patients, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with regular riluzole usage. TDP-43 is related to ALS. Increased the ubiquitinated or phosphorylated TDP-43 can cause animal model of ALS, and TDP43 can be degraded either by proteasome or autophagy pathway system. Autophagy pathway can be activated by mTOR inhibition, resulting in ameliorating TDP-43 accumulation and rescue in motor function in animal model. Tamoxifen had shown ability of enhance both proteasome and autophagy pathway, therefore the investigators assume that Tamoxifen probably can ameliorate TDP-43 accumulation and inclusion body formation in ALS.
Safety and Efficacy Study of Creatine and Tamoxifen in Volunteers With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) [Completed]
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of high dose creatine and two dosages of tamoxifen treatment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
A Multicenter Trial Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of tamOxifen Plus LY2228820 in Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Progressing on aromatasE Inhibitors [Suspended]
Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) remains an incurable disease and despite an improvement of the effect of systemic treatments. After relapse on first-line non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor, current clinical practice and treatment guidelines include tamoxifen, fulvestrant (an ER antagonist) and exemestane as available options (NCCN treatment guidelines 2012), but in this context of resistance, their efficacy are poor. Some results confirm the possibility to improve the efficacy of tamoxifen in metastatic setting by a combination with therapy targeting signal transduction pathways. Other transduction pathways seem to be involved in endocrine sensitivity/resistance, such as RAS/RAF/MEK/MAK pathway. LY2228820 inhibits the activity of p38 MAPK (selective inhibitor of the α and β isoforms of p38 MAPK in vitro) and reduces phosphorylation of its cellular target, MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAP-K2).

C.J. Lazaretti is a film and video editor based in Glasgow, UK. Since his debut co-editing the documentary The Gospel According to St Derek (featuring Tilda Swinton), he has worked mostly on British short film projects. Cosmico, his directorial debut, has won five awards at international film festivals.
A jaded nobleman voraciously feeds off the spiritual energy of planet Earth, endangering the fabric of space and time. Can our hero escape the consequences of the ultimate rebirth?
Peoples of the Earth, beware of Duke Cosmico: you are what he eats.
Cosmico is an award-winning short animation film by C.J. Lazaretti. Made in the cut-out style of Terry Gilliam's seminal vignettes for Monty Python's Flying Circus, it takes an irreverent look at religion, the universe and other existential creature comforts. Not bad for a three-minute short, huh?
"All your questions about religions answered in three minutes."
—Exploding Cinema
"Uproarious religious humor...original and ingenious."
"Delectable absurdity...provocative and controversial."
"Unique...great visuals, music and style."
—Hackney Citizen
"Cosmico is one of those things you don't forget."
—Matt Willis-Jones, filmmaker
"Cosmico really made me laugh. I loved it."
—Francis Macdonald, Teenage Fanclub
"Devilishly funny."
—Aimie Willemse, director, Infinite Studios

—10th Athens Animfest
COSMICO IN LIVERPOOL
Cosmico was among the 11 finalists nominated for the Professional Short Film Award at the inaugural Liverpool Irish Festival's Celtic Animation Film Competition on October 22nd, 2017. C.J. Lazaretti was in attendance at the one-day short film showcase, held at the 81 Renshaw café and arts venue in central Liverpool.
The event included international gems such as William Côgo's endearing Native American fable The End of the Line and the hilarious satirical critique of Going Ape, a French animation by Nicolas Lesaffre and Charles Blanchard.
Further demonstration of the power of animation to confront timely issues came from Silvia Carpizo's The Neverending Wall, a rich allegory of xenophobic hysteria animated from graffiti currently on display at the remains of the Berlin Wall. (more)
COSMICO ON CHANNEL 4
Television is what he eats! Channel 4 has featured Cosmico on Random Acts, an innovative, curated platform for experimental short films.
C.J. Lazaretti's multiple-award-winning short film is in excellent company, next to Anna Ginsburg's Private Parts, an ingenious animated documentary examining taboos that surround female sexuality, as well as Jack Scott's Jam!, an uncompromising masterpiece of indulgent sinfulness made for celluloid competition Straight 8. Viewer discretion is definitely not advised.

COSMICO REVIEWED

Wise Up Ghost
Elvis Costello & The Roots' 'Wise Up Ghost' grooves on 180-gram LP
Mark Smotroff
Elvis Costello departed England many years ago. He left the second wave British Invasion punk pop scene of the '70s behind, due in large part to the knock-out one-two-three-four punch of his amazing run of long playing albums and accompanying singles. He followed these up with the much broader strokes of Imperial Bedroom, the country-western gem Almost Blue and the brilliant precursor to much alt-Americana, King of America.
It was clear that Elvis was in it for the long haul and wanted to be regarded as more than just another faded angry young new waver as he aged and matured as a composer. It was a smart career move. Here we are 30+ years later and the man who would be Elvis has in the interim become one of pop music's most beloved songwriters tackling (mostly successfully) rock, jazz, classical, soundtracks, country, funky New Orleans soul and all manner of pop music betwixt and between, this side of Cole Porter.
Heck, he's even put out a pretty compelling moody jazz-tinged song cycle in 5.1 surround sound (the oft-overlooked and challenging North collection). His nearly-two-seasons long Sundance Channel program Spectacle is essential viewing for any fan of popular music (available on Blu-ray too!). I'm almost tempted to call him a senior spokesman for a generation but I think Bruce Springsteen has that title fairly well wrapped up.
Here we are in 2013, and last I heard Elvis is now living mostly in New York with his wife, jazz singer and pianist Diana Krall and their children. So its not surprising he is immersing himself in the Big Apple's music scene, appearing a number of times on Jimmy Fallon's TV show in particular and striking up a friendship with the fine house band there, The Roots.
The result of that friendship is Wise Up Ghost, a 12-song musical photo album with tales of the city and its peoples. Accordingly, the cover of the album is an homage to the San Francisco's City Lights Pocket Poets series of books, particularly Allen Ginsberg's Howl.
With hip hop and 70s soul flavors inevitable, Elvis and the Roots have put together some compelling new music that looks back as much as it looks forward.
Like Elvis' brilliant collaboration with Allen Toussaint a number of years back (The River in Reverse, 2006), or even 2004's The Delivery Man, this album is chockfull of good tunes with some killer grooves that can only blow up into something fantastic in live concert. Costello has never been one to simply reproduce his albums note for note in live performance, so this could be a fun potential tour to come. If you liked When I Was Cruel and All This Useless Beauty, you'll probably dig this collection. This is not the first time Elvis has dabbled with hip hop, soul and R'n'B textures (heck, he did a solo tour once years ago supported by a beat box)
"Tripwire" seems to sample a backing track (or a new demo-like recreation) from Elvis' own song "Satellite" from 1989's Spike, into a modern day doo-wop like song. Likewise, "Stick Out Your Tongue" repurposes some lyrics and melody from his own anti-war anthem "Pills & Soap" over a fresh beat with noodle-y keyboard samples and falsetto background vocals this side of Prince; its pretty cool what he does with it and certainly a strong theme/melody worth revisiting.
At first I wasn't so keen on the sound of this album, as its a bit on the boxy side. Reports indicate that basic tracks for Wise Up Ghost were indeed birthed in the rehearsal space / dressing room where the Roots practice for Jimmy Fallon's show so that could very well explain the underlying sound of the album. It has a kind of claustrophobic feel to it that is both immediate and challenging. However, as I've listened to it, that tight condensed feel fits the music well and it has grown on me much in the way that the sound of Elvis' raw 1986 masterstroke Blood & Chocolate grew to become one of my favorites. Fear not: its not all just digital mush and there are overdubs and properly mixed production touches that sparkle, including orchestral arrangements done in Hollywood. Album closer "If I Could Believe" is exquisite.
So, should you buy the long playing vinyl of Wise Up Ghost? That really depends on how you like to listen to your music. Since this is very much a studio creation which employs more of a hip hop flavored production, that may or may not be your cuppa tea if you are an audiophile purist. I mean, I saw an interview on YouTube where Elvis (at the Apple press conference) said he recorded a vocal on his iPad in his kitchen. So this album is very much a lo-fi meets hi-fi affair, for sure. That said, if you are an Elvis fan and want to hear the album as Elvis probably would like you to hear it, then I would get the LP. The disc comes on thick, well centered and generally quiet, well pressed 180-gram black vinyl.
Personally I like the LP which has a noticeably broader mid range and bass sensibility than the MP3s and much less of the digital grittiness dancing around the permitters of Elvis' vocals and the instruments.
Of course, there is a catch (you didn't think it'd be that easy now did you really?)
On vinyl, Wise Up Ghost comes with "only" 12 tracks spread across two album sides. However, on CD and download, there are two versions available including a "deluxe" edition with three bonus tracks. I was a bit bummed (but not entirely surprised) that that LP didn't come with the bonus tracks. I subsequently purchased them on iTunes, but was again, a bit bummed to find those were only 256 kbps files. The actual album download you get with the LP is 320 kbps. The difference in the sound quality is noticeable.
Some might say I'm splitting hairs here but this is an audiophile publication so you readers in theory like knowing this sort of detail! That said, and all things considered, the download sounds pretty decent and will work fine in the car or on your morning train commute listening on headphones.
At the end of the day, Wise Up Ghost is one of those records you're going to want for the music, regardless of how it was recorded. I mean, would you not listen to Born to Run or Sgt. Pepper or Paul's Boutique just because they have a distinctive sonic blue print that isn't quite up to so-called audiophile standards?
Of course not. Great music is great music.
Perhaps I will get lucky and find an inexpensive copy of the Deluxe Edition CD used somewhere down the line so I can have the bonus tracks in better fidelity. Of the three bonus tracks, the last one is my favorite of the entire new batch of songs,: "The Puppet Has Cut His Strings."
What a haunting tune, with its simple circular piano motif that reminds me of no less than Plastic Ono Band-era John Lennon, run through an early Elton John blender.
"The breath is slow and shallow too
The sky is bright Venetian blue
The cardboard sun is all ablaze
The air is painted Clifford Brown
Caressing "Yesterdays"
The steady gaze of your glass eye
Head in a basket smiling still
Free of will, free of wisdom"
Wise Up Ghost is going to be getting many more plays for sure. Get it.

Duckie Shirt
"Duckshirt Homestar" redirects here. For the storybook world character, see The Homestar Runner (storybook).
"And who's this weirdo in the duckie shirt?"
From time to time, Homestar Runner wears a shirt with a duck on it. In flashback, Strong Bad shows a possibly fabricated history of his first meeting with Homestar Runner (based on the Original Book). In this illustrated story, the duck shirt's exhibition gives rise to several duck-related nicknames for Homestar. In an Easter egg, Homestar dons the shirt from the book to wish Strong Bad a "happy hundredth birthday".
In the DVD commentary for flashback, The Brothers Chaps reveal that the email was originally going to place even more of a focus on Homestar's duckie shirt (which was going to be green, according to Making of Email 100). In the preliminary version, Strong Bad was the original owner of Homestar's star shirt. Marzipan, who did not approve of Homestar's duckie shirt, was to give him the same star shirt as Strong Bad, causing Strong Bad to rip off his shirt in frustration. This was to explain why Strong Bad almost never wears a shirt.
The short, The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw, reveals what happened to the duckie shirt. Homestar, clad with a duckie shirt, finds something stuck in his craw. It is revealed to be his current shirt, his red shirt with a star on it, which he immediately puts on.
The duckie shirt has made a number of other notable appearances. In Main Page 20 (which is based on flashback), Homestar shows off the duckie shirt's ability to quack. In your funeral, Strong Bad imagines a fat man wearing a duckie shirt who attends his funeral. In Main Page 24, Homestar is again seen wearing the duckie shirt after rolling over "Characters" three times. In the email the paper, Lil' Strong Bad is seen wearing a variation of the Duckie Shirt. It has a red duck with horns and fangs that make it appear to be the devil. In Strong Badia The Free, the flag of Marzistar features the duck from Homestar's duckie shirt on it. For a while, there was even a real-life duckie shirt for sale in the Flash Store.

‘Neutral’ outlook on Malaysian property sector
PETALING JAYA: Kenanga Research has downgraded the property sector to “neutral” from “overweight”, while Maybank Investment Bank Research (Maybank IB) remains “neutral” on the back of a lack of new catalysts, increasing tightening measures and household debt, which is at an all-time high.
Kenanga Research property analysts Sarah Lim and Adrian Ng are downgrading the sector to “neutral”, as they believe the risk-reward ratio is leaning towards “risk” due to expected minimal catalysts in the third quarter of 2014 and possible negative headwinds during the quarter.
This includes potential interest rate hikes and further cooling measures in Budget 2015.
Meanwhile, Maybank IB Research analyst Wong Wei Sum highlighted that household debt had reached a high of 86.8% of nominal gross domestic product at end-2013, and could climb to 88% by end-December.
“There is a risk that Bank Negara may further rein in household debt expansion and curb speculative demand. With many potential buyers still looking to buy property for investment purposes, further tightening measures could negatively hit demand, and in greater force,” she said.
Lim and Ng opined that Johor’s Iskandar Malaysia story had lost steam, given the influx of China-based developers that have the capability to flood the market with high-rise residentials.
This was seen in the volume of units launched by Guangzhou-based Country Garden Holdings Co Ltd’s Danga Bay project, where it launched most of the 10,000 units of condominiums at one go.
“There are threats of more property and land supply due to Country Garden and Kumpulan Prasarana Rakyat Johor’s plans to reclaim about 5,000 acres along the Straits of Johor near the Second Link, even though Johor has ample landbank for development,” said Lim and Ng.
They added that unfavourable state policies, including changes in working days and weekends and recent amendments to the Johor Housing and Real Property Board Enactment Bill 2014, had caused more confusion among investors.
“We are glad that Singapore has expressed concerns about the land reclamation, and that Malaysia has agreed to provide Singapore with the relevant information for further studies,” said Lim and Ng.
They believe the reclamation would be devastating for Johor, especially for UEM Sunrise Bhd’s Nusajaya and Khazanah Nasional Bhd’s Medini area. “We really see no need for additional land, as Johor still has ample amount of landbank and capable local developers,” they said.
Meanwhile, in a survey conducted on 30 randomly selected visitors during a property fair, Maybank’s Wong said that 80% of the respondents intended to buy at least one property over the next 12 months.
“Most already have at least one property in hand and are looking for new properties for investment purposes. Many also admitted that rising living costs, with the goods and services tax implementation and interest rate hikes, would very likely affect their purchase decision,” she said.
She added that the top concerns continue to be pricing and financing

From Tears To Triumph: This Is Sarah's Road To Becoming A 'Challenge' Champion
Victory sure tasted sweet for the 'Battle of the Exes 2' winner!
Aaliyah memorably crooned, "If at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again," and those notable lyrics could not ring any more true for "Challenge" competitor Sarah.
The "Real World: Brooklyn" alum first accepted a bid on "The Ruins" back in 2009, and after her eighth attempt, the always-resilient vet took home the grand prize -- $125,000! -- on the "Battle of the Exes 2" season finale.
"I feel so lucky to have been a part of so many amazing adventures," an emotional S, who successfully scaled Norway's unbelievable Mount Slogan with former flame Jordan, admitted in an interview (above) after defeating Leroy and Theresa. "This has been a roller coaster. I have seen the ugliest sides of people -- and the most beautiful sides of people."
Let's face it: The happy-go-lucky gal hasn't had an easy road to nabbing the No. 1 spot on the scoreboard. From multiple upsetting partnerships to nearly securing the big check on several occasions, the crossword enthusiast has certainly endured it all during this unforgettable, years-long ride. In honor of the newly crowned champion's well-deserved win and Throwback Thursday, we're taking a look back at Sarah's incredible journey toward this happily ever after:
"The Ruins"
The rookie and her "Challenger" partner KellyAnne were extremely close to nabbing first place over the "Champions" -- they handled all of those critters like bosses -- but the ladies lost their lead and ultimately had to settle for silver medals.
"Fresh Meat 2"
S and her hookup buddy/partner Vinny were forced to face off against allies Kenny and Laurel during the second Exile -- and they were ousted from the game after schlepping a bunch of weights through the Whistler woods.
"Cutthroat"
The San Fran native made her second finals appearance with the Grey Team, comprised of Laurel, Cara Maria, Abram and Luke. But when she started vomiting seemingly out of nowhere on the Prague course -- after A suffered heat exhaustion and was yanked beforehand -- a weeping Sarah was pulled from the contest and didn't cross the finish line.
"Rivals"
The last-place Big Apple roomies were forced to compete in the fifth Jungle against newbies Jonna and Jasmine. Even though the mission was Sarah's strong suit (a puzzle) -- and the rest of the Argentina gang was rooting for Satelynn -- the girls were dealt a surprising upset at the hands of J-squared.
"Battle of the Exes"
The erstwhile "Fresh Meat 2" crushes secured their first win during the second episode -- but Varah was promptly booted after Vin removed Mandi's top during a night out at a club in the Dominican Republic. Understandably, Sar was devastated about V's actions, and there was no denying it cost her tremendously.
"Battle of the Seasons"
The one-time New Yorkers -- Chet, Devyn, JD and S -- fought their way to the finals and climbed the Namibian sand dunes behind Team San Diego (Zach, Frank, Sam and Ashley) and Team Las Vegas (Trishelle and Dustin). The underdogs split the $40,000 prize and exchanged some sweet hugs after taking third place.
"Rivals 2"
The blond's unfortunate luck with partners continued in Thailand: Trishelle (Sarah's teammate) had enough of the environment after a fiery argument with Aneesa, and the "Vegas" poker player threw her bags down the stairs and cut short Sashelle's stint in paradise -- without a care in the world for Sarah.
+ What's your favorite Sarah "Challenge" incident? Share your thoughts below, be sure to offer your congrats to Team Sordan on their monumental "Battle of the Exes 2" achievement, and watch this bonus clip featuring J & S receiving some special headgear:

Things About things.
Things About Girls
It's not all sweetness and light.
It's not all sugar and spice and everything nice.
It's not all sparkling golden laughter and twinkling eyes and caring, warm hearts.
It's rodent sized hairballs in your shower drain every six months or so, because when you have girls, girls have hair. And they also have friends, and their friends have friends, and also cousins, lots of girl cousins. And all of the girls and their friends and their friends friends and girl cousins all somehow find a reason to use your shower, and put their long, glorious hair in your shower drain, until pretty much you have DNA samples from every female in Stevens County. Possibly Washington State. And probably much, much, much more scientific data than anyone in an Average American Household ever wanted to collect out of their drain.
It's also slamming doors and theatrical sighs and eye-rolling that just. won't. quit. It's year after year after year of "whatever"s and "seriously?"s and "ohmygosh"s, in addition to the everything in the world being "annoying", "not my fault" and "not fair".
It's glitter craft projects adorning every carpet and finger nail polish accents on every piece of furniture.
It's a fist sized hole that mysteriously appears in a wall, and the occasional plate glass window shattered by an imaginary javelin.
It's a thousand articles of clothing whom No One owns, and nothing to wear, ever. At all.
It's going to All Of The Games and All Of The Practices and buy All Of The Gear of All Of The Sports and All Of The Hobbies until you find the exact one that is "the favorite", and then it's doubling it up, because this is surely their destiny: to be professional tuba players/basketball stars/volleyball champions/irish dance professionals.
It's pony tail holders on the floor in every room, bobbi pins on every surface, and a hair brush and random intervals throughout the living spaces.
It's moody singer-songwriter tunes, angry rap and the inescapable Disney Artists from every generation, including the most unfortunate and most recent ones.
It's pictures of puppies, romantic poems and angry hate-notes of vengeance and tattle-taleing.
It's three thousand pairs of shoes that are totally inappropriate for any given event, and probably don't fit right anymore.
It's purple and pink and orange and CAMOUFLAGE and a rainbow of changing moods and favorites.
It's marathons of Glee and The Flash and Mario Cart, and crushes on Every. Single. Boy.
It's day after day, year after year, watching a herd of little women turn into fierce individuals with places to go and people to be.
It's a girl thing.

Queer Lovers and Hateful Others
Regenerating Violent Times and Places
Jin Haritaworn
Series: Decolonial Studies, Postcolonial Horizons
Exploring the tension between Queerness and Islamophobia, and how the elite reinforce the politics of homonationalism.
Queer subjects have become acceptable in society only through being cast in the shadow of the new folk devil, the 'homophobic migrant' who is rendered by society as hateful and disposable.
This book explores this concept of 'queer regeneration'. Queerness has entered a transitional phase as it becomes co-opted by neoliberalism to make punishment and neglect appear as signs of care and love for diversity. To understand this transition, Jin Haritaworn looks at the environments in which queer bodies have become worthy of protection, discussing the everyday erasures that shape life in the inner city (focusing on Berlin), and how queer activists actively seek out and dispel the myths of sites of nostalgia for the 'invented traditions' of women-and-gay-friendliness.
The author explores a rich archive of media, arts, policy and activism, including posters, newspaper reports, hate crime action plans, urban projects, psychological studies, demonstrations, kiss-ins, political speeches and films. Through these sources, the relationships between Islamaphobia, racism within Europe and the United States, and the global war on terror serves to reinforce the politics of homonationalism.
Jin Haritaworn is Assistant Professor of Gender, Race and Environment at York University in Canada. They are the author of Queer Lovers and Hateful Others (Pluto, 2015).
'A smart, courageous, and at times unsettling indictment of LGBTQ complicity with xenophobic violence. If you care deeply about social justice, read this brilliant book' - Julia Chinyere Oparah is Professor of Ethnic Studies at Mills College and co-editor of Activist Scholarship: Antiracism, Feminism and Social Change
'A brilliant analysis which shatters the singularity of the universal gay/trans subject to expose hir collusion in the production of the 'homophobic Muslim'. This highly engaging book is a must read for all concerned with issues of justice, demilitarisation and radical transformation in global politics' - Sunera Thobani, Associate Professor at the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice at the University of British Columbia
'This exciting book by one of the most brilliant emerging scholars today brings a novel approach to 'queer gentrification' and a host of new concepts pertaining to space, queer and trans subjects of colour, race, sexuality and violence' - Paola Bacchetta, Associate Professor of Gender & Women's Studies at University of California, Berkeley
'An original and highly impactful contribution to critical race and ethnic studies, gender and sexuality studies and urban studies' - Dylan Rodríguez, Professor and Chair of the Department of Ethnic Studies at University of California, Riverside
'Seamlessly synthesises the relationships between Islamaphobia, racism within Europe and the United States, and how the global war on terror serves to reinforce the politics of homonationalism. Brilliant and fierce, a must-read for all those interesting in imagining new liberatory politics' - Andrea Smith, Associate Professor of Ethnic Studies and Media & Cultural Studies at the University of California, Riverside.
A crucial text that does so much work that queer theory desperately needs. Taking urban spaces in Berlin as a primary site, Haritaworn shows how the production of respectable queers emerges against supposedly degenerate non-white others' - Karma R. Chávez is author of Queer Migration Politics: Activist Rhetoric and Coalitional Possibilities (University of Illinois Press, 2013) and member of the collective, Against Equality
'Constitutes a sophisticated masterpiece of decolonial queer/transgender theory' - Ramón Grosfoguel, Associate Professor, Ethnic Studies Department, University of California, Berkley
'A trenchant and unrelenting critical gaze at the tensions between a nascent people of colour consciousness and the swirling turbulence of homophobia and xenophobia in 21st Century Germany. More than just a sensitive portrait of lives, sites, and energies, this book is an incitement to think queerly, to dream otherwise.' - Martin F. Manalansan IV, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Asian American Studies
'In an exemplary intersectional cultural analysis, Haritaworn explores racial and sexual formations in contemporary and historical Berlin.' - Gloria Wekker is emeritus professor in Gender and Ethnicity at Utrecht University, the Netherlands, and author of The Politics of Passion (2006) and White Innocence (forthcoming 2016, Duke University Press).
'Shifts critical debates about rights, recognition, diversity, coalition, homonationalism, necropolitics, migration policies, and citizenship in important new directions' - Eithne Luibheid, Professor of Gender and Women's Studies, University of Arizona

Senate District 30 Race Concludes Tonight
Senate District 30 caucus is tonight, with precinct committeemen who live in the District finally being able to vote for a replacement for the outgoing Sen. Theresa Lubbers who is going to be the new commissioner of higher education.
While some of my fellow Republicans make a good point that Lubbers abandoned conservative principles on some issues, the fact remains that she has been brilliant when it comes to education reform. On virtually every education reform over the past year, she was the leader. This includes charter schools and alternative licensing, much needed education reforms. On the issue of education reform, Lubbers' shoes will be mighty difficult to fill.
Now that she is leaving, it's time to examine the possible replacement. Chris Douglas today announced that he is dropping out. That leaves three candidates, John Ruckleshaus, 50, a former state representative, Scott Schneider, 42, a former member of the Indianapolis City-County Council, and Ryan Vaughn, 31, a current member of the Council. Here are my perceptions of their weaknesses and strength.
John Ruckleshaus
Strength: Incredibly hard worker, very personable. Capable of getting votes of moderate PCs.
Weaknesses: Doesn't have the ideological consistency that attracts passionate support.
Key to Success: Getting more conservative voters to vote for him instead of Schneider.
Strengths: Ideological, consistent conservative. Philosophy attracts the most fervent supporters.
Weaknesses: Often portrayed as extreme by opponents, a characterization which has little basis in fact, but could cost him some key votes.
Key to Success: Using the "outsider" v. "insider" issue to get the votes of moderates and independent-minded Republicans who don't want to see Vaughn, the ultimate insider, become state Senator.
Ryan Vaughn
Strengths: Party leadership has been attempting to use the organization to push the Vaughn candidacy; has support of key insiders, including the Mayor, Bob Grand, Tom John and others; undoubtedly several Tom John mummy dummy, non-working PCs will be attending the caucus solely for the purpose of trying to outvote working PCs in the district who might not want to support Vaughn.
Weaknesses: See above. Being the candidate of the insiders has a price and, as Senate District 30 has a history of being independent, that price could be high. Vaughn's age and inexperience will hurt him. The Mayor Ballard letter endorsement letter was not helpful. It was bad enough that it was a form letter and not personalized, apparently they did not have enough sense to NOT send the endorsement letter to the Hamilton County PCs.
Key to Success: Getting close enough on the first ballot to be within striking distance.
Prediction: I would make Ryan Vaughn a slight underdog to the field, but guess that he'll have a lead after the first round.. Whether Scott Schneider or John Ruckleshaus emerges from the first ballot I don't know. What happens in these caucuses is that, if after the first ballot no one has a majority, the lowest candidate is dropped. The PCs that support the dropped candidate generally go to the candidate and ask for advice on who to vote for on the second ballot. The PCs don't always follow the suggestion, but generally 80% or so will stick together if an endorsement is make. If the PCs are simply released to vote for any candidate, they will not vote en bloc.
I think the Schneider people would overwhelmingly go to Ruckleshaus on the second round. To a lesser degree, I think the Ruckleshaus people would support Schneider on the second round. Bottom line is Vaughn needs to be leading with about 40% on the first ballot for him to get to be able to get the necessary 50% on the second ballot. If he's at 35% after the first round, he might as well plan on staying on the council. The necessary votes aren't coming.
I heard today that Vaughn people claim he is within 5 votes of winning a majority on the first round. That's an old, old slating trick. You try to convince people the race is over so the opponent's supporters stay home. Nobody knows for sure how people are going to vote.
One thing you learn really quickly is that people lie all the time when it comes to who the PCs say they are going to vote for. While Ruckleshaus and Schneider have to be concerned about PCs lying to them, Vaughn has to be even more concerned. Vaughn is the insider candidate supported by party leadership. People, rightly or wrongly, are afraid that publicly supporting someone else instead of Vaughn could have consequences. They are afraid. Given what I've seen with party leaders going after people who don't support what they want, it is a valid concern.
Finally, it should be said that party leaders and Mayor Ballard have put their reputations on the line on this one. Vaughn has to be successful or they will take a substantial hit in credibility. Instead of sitting back and just making sure the election was conducted fairly, Mayor Ballard, Chairman Tom John, Hamilton County resident and Center Area Chairman David Brooks have all become actively involved using their insider clout to try to tip the balance to Vaughn, despite the fact that the party had three other highly qualified candidates to choose from, two of which are, in fact, more qualified than Vaughn. If they lose it will be one more strike against the those running the Marion County GOP organization.

Protesting is Good, Again
Funny thing about the words spoken in the video, and if you note the exclusion of a major group of protesters in it, the stated attitude did not seem to apply when a mixed group of Conservatives, Liberals and Independents joined together nationwide in 2009 to protest Obamacare.
That’s right, the group known as the TEA Party (Taxed Enough Already) was ridiculed, lambasted, labeled racist (as nearly any disagreement with Obama was for 8 years) and marginalized often by the media, including our own Lazy C.
I recall a significant turnout at Esther Short Park of TEA Party activists that they did not even bother to send a writer to cover, even though over 1500 people attended it.
In fact, John Laird, former political page editor penned back then, Political rallies: just huffin’ and puffin’ where he wrote, “But at the tea party, angry protesters will frown and snarl ‘No!’ and ‘From my cold, dead fingers’!”
Late in November 2009 Laird penned Coming soon! A giant anger-palooza where he wrote claims of, “This was the year their crusade was born, and the screaming and kicking hasn't stopped yet,” “town hall meetings have become boisterous, bigoted shout-downs where the only things that matter are volume and venom,” “when a president wins the Nobel Peace Prize, a large segment of Americans actually boo” and “This year we increasingly heard, ‘I want my country back!’ proclaimed by people who had difficulty accepting the will of the national electorate.”
Laird somehow seemed to have forgotten just months earlier how President George W. Bush was greeted by boos, jeers and singing of “Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye” as he walked out at the inauguration of Barack Obama.
Are we not today hearing the cry of “I Want My Country Back” from those protesters marching throughout the country who seem unable to accept the will of voters in the latest election?
By 2013 Laird was describing TEA Party activists as “Political piranhas” in an editorial.
That is in addition to when we citizens took a stand against the bloated Columbia River Crossing Light Rail project labeling us as “cockroaches,” “Hounds of Whinerville” and more.
And just today we read in the Lazy C’s opinion page, In Our View: Marches Grab Attention,
“Demonstration of what makes America great sends message to administration” and “It was a remarkable demonstration of what truly makes America great. Dissent, it has been said, is the highest form of patriotism, and Saturday’s events rank among this nation’s most memorable patriotic outpourings.”
And it wasn’t just our local Lacy C. Main media blasted TEA Party rallies, even blended pro-second amendment rallies with TEA Party in an effort to label us as armed malcontents.
No, protesting wasn’t seen as noble or how to effect change throughout the 8 years of Obama, just the opposite.
And as much as I distrust Trump’s ability to do what he says he will do or that it will improve much, it is the media and their bias and double standards responsible for him being elected.
A large number of citizens are fed up with being manipulated and lied to by biased, dishonest media that portrays dissent as “patriotic” only when a Republican is in office.
So go ahead and make your noise, falsely think you are doing something great and noble by burning businesses and cars or beating up on people that disagree with you.
Then in 4 years, thank yourselves again should Trump win a second term.
Canuckguy said...
So Lew, are you at ease with Trump as president? Do you actually think things will turn out at least so-so? I certainly am not at ease. I am afraid that he will turn out to be the worse president EVER. And that would be a disaster for both of our countries. PS: Do not construe this as me going all left wing moon-bat loonie crazy on you.
I am very apprehensive about Trump, Canuck. I don't trust him.
I did research him last year and did not like all that I found. Most striking to me was in 1999, he made a lot of noise leaving the Republican Party claiming they were just too crazy right. And now he comes across as even farther to the right?
He has even stated he is closer to the Democrats than Republicans.
But, he did win.
I just hope our Congress has the balls to hold him in check where need be.
I am right on the same page as you. As I may have said before, the GOP needs a lot more people with your thinking process. Actually your country needs a lot more people with your critical thinking skills, GOP and Dems alike. The level of voter ignorance is rather astonishing. It's not any better in Canada considering the limp wristed lefty socialist Muslim apologist we have as PM.

0% rates rise backed
Waitaki district councillors have unanimously agreed to work towards a 0% rates rise in the 2020-21 financial year.
An emergency council meeting was held on Friday to shift the council’s focus from business-as-usual to essential services to support Waitaki communities through the next four weeks and beyond.
“The increasing call from the community and different organisations is that we should be looking at as close to zero as we can be,” Waitaki Mayor Gary Kircher said.
Options for the move would likely be presented to councillors in May and confirmed in June.
“There are not really any easy savings, but we’ll look at that,” Mr Kircher said.
“The other option is doing what we were going to do and loan fund.”
Friday’s decision and the impact of the Covid-19 lockdown meant there would be no consultation on the annual plan.
The council would not collect any more money in the 2020-21 year, but rates for individual households could change slightly
“Because you pay depending on what things are being done in your area,” Mr Kircher said.
On March 18, councillors earmarked up to $2million from the council’s disaster fund for a stimulus and support package.
At yesterday’s meeting it was agreed funds would be distributed through the council’s existing channels, including the mayoral relief fund, the grants and awards committee, and the economic development grant, to help individuals and families, community organisations and businesses.
The most immediate action would be removing penalties for late payment of the next installment of rates, and waiving parking fees and credit card fees for payments to the council.
Councillors also approved an emergency delegations committee to allow swift decision-making if quorum could not be reached due to illness or technological issues during the lockdown.
It would comprise Mr Kircher, deputy mayor Melanie Tavendale and one other councillor whose portfolio aligned to the matter.
Until further notice, Waitaki District Council meetings will be held virtually as amendments made to the Local Government Act this week allow a quorum to be filled remotely.latest RunningNike WMNS Air Force 1 Shadow White/Hydrogen Blue-Purple

Cinema '65: A Patch of Blue, A Scale of Grey
The War! It happened in black-and-white! At least, that's the way Oscar preferred looking at it, with three war films nominated in Cinematography; the other two contenders were a leading-up-to-the-War film and a social issues drama. Well, OK, I suppose they were both social issues dramas, but only one of them had Nazis.
So, what have we got? In Harm's Way, Otto Preminger's epic about Navy men and women in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. King Rat, Bryan Forbes' dark comedy about the hustle in a POW camp. Morituri, Bernhard Wicki's thriller about a saboteur aboard a German shipping boat. A Patch of Blue, Guy Green's blind girl-meets-black boy romance. Ship of Fools, Stanley Kramer's ensemble drama about humanity, baby, which went home with the Oscar.
What's happening here, Ernie?
But what do I make of all of it? Glad you asked.
Loyal Griggs
From its first moment, a tracking shot leading to an officers' party the night before Pearl Harbor, it reels us in. Couple that with Pearl Harbor itself, a meeting in an island bunker, a nighttime sea battle, beach trysts...I mean, this is pretty lick-able work, is what I'm saying.
KING RAT
Burnett Guffey
A hell of an opening shot -- light breaking over a steamy hill; you think it's a man in a chair, but it's actually an emaciated colonel sitting on the latrine. A gorgeous shot that neatly establishes the blackly comic tone of the film. We'll see similar beauty again and again, whether it's looking at slumbering soldiers through the gauze of their mosquito nets, or locking eyes with a row of men as the reality of the end of the war slowly dawns on them. Inventive.
Conrad L. Hall
Does war just naturally make for great cinematography? Not always beautiful; indeed, much of the time things are lit to further embellish the ugliness of both the setting (Nazi freighter with prisoners aboard) and the people (some of those prisoners, Nazis, etc.). Love the daytime fog sequence, but one shot of Yul Brynner slumped in a chair, light streaming through a porthole amid smoke, knocked me out!
Robert Burks
Convinced some of this has to do with moments where Selina is in the dark, such as when she's sitting alone in Gordon's apartment, or weeping in the park during a downpour. But much of it, too, is from P.O.V. moments in Selina's past, and while I appreciate that some parts of those sequences are out-of-focus, it's still a little...weird.
Ernest Laszlo
I can think of multiple shots I want to keep forever: a sweating Simone Signoret, lights on, in need of a fix; Vivien Leigh having an epiphany about aging in front of the mirror; Vivien Leigh dancing the Charleston; a young American confessing a recurring nightmare, hidden behind the headboard; the silhouettes of a 19-year-old German and the woman about to de-flower him; a body collapsed on deck.
Oh, Ernest Laszlo, I love the hell out of you, but I have to go with:
Next: if music be the food of love, you could do worse than the Original Score nominees! The Agony and the Ecstasy, Doctor Zhivago, The Greatest Story Ever Told, A Patch of Blue, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

The 31-year-old Townsville man was arrested on Tuesday and charged with 14 counts of rape and eight indecent treatment of a child offences.

The victims also allege their stepfather raped them in both Cairns and Townsville.
Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Miles, of the Townsville Child Protection and Investigation Unit, said the alleged victims had come forward to report the crime.
'Unfortunately, like all of these matters it represents the ultimate breach of trust from a parental figure, with the victims being subject to lifelong impacts of abuse,' he said.
Officers rushed to arrest the man given the direct relationship between him and his alleged victims who are now aged 11, 14 and 17-years-old.
The man was due to appear before the Townsville Magistrates Court on Thursday morning.
Detectives are also investigating other alleged offences.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Queensland Police for further comment.

“Human documentary person is good” is a singer from Flower
‘Chosun Love’ Kim Young-kwang gave a ring to Ji Jin-ki
by Kathleen Park
Chosun Love
Kim Young-kwang
On May 25, SBS drama “I Love You” (directed by Lee Kwang-young, dramatized Kim Jae-jeong, produced by Beyond Jay) was broadcast on the 25th of the afternoon with Dae Min-ik (Kim Young-kwang) giving a ring to Jung Kang-hee. Dae-min Lee explained to Jung Kang-hee, “I think we should make our own new token.” In addition, it was also revealed that Dae-min Lee’s vision was restored.
As soon as the red cardigan of Jeong Kang-hee, who was a token of his previous two, was burnt down and unable to wear, the two of them went shopping together. The red cardigan was the only sign that Dankook was able to recognize Jeong Kang-hee. However, wearing any kind of clothes could not be a sign of recognizing Jeong Kang-hee as much as a red cardigan.
Daimin Lee looked for his doctor and asked “what should I do?” The doctor advised me, “Make a new sign of your own.” She also explained how she had succeeded before, saying, “At first I might not recognize it, but I will be aware of it as a girl.”
At this point, he tried to find his own new token and eventually gave him a ring. “We need our own new token, and I hope we have created a new token with this,” said Duminghui, who received the ring. So Jeong Kang-hee showed impressed.
On the other hand, Dae-jin Lee was trapped in the company’s elevator while he was out for a promise with Jung Kang-hee. 119 rescuers rescued by the rescue crew experienced the sight of the moment when the elevator door opened. After that, I met Jeong Kang-hee again and kissed his forehead and lips. So Jeong Kang-hee said, “Do you look at me right now?”
On the other hand, in today ‘s broadcast, Dum Min – ik (Kim Young – kwang) abandoned the representative position to meet with Jung Kang – hee (Jinju state). Jeong Kang-hee, who became aware of this fact, was angry that he was “giving up his position because of his secretary.” “I have an idea,” replied Lee.
He is a prominent figure in the business community. It was a condition that he would take the company for three years until he came back. “When I was the president, I was able to walk only the flowering route,” he replied.

India: Joint statement against the attacks in Mumbai
SACW
The following Joint Statement was released to the press simultaneously in Pakistan and India on November 30 2008.
"We are deeply shocked and horrified at the bloody mayhem in Mumbai, which has claimed more than a hundred and ninety lives and caused grievous injuries to several hundred people, besides sending a wave of panic and terror across South Asia and beyond. We convey our profound feelings of sorrow and sympathies to the grieving families of the unfortunate victims of this heinous crime and express our solidarity with them.
As usual, all sorts of speculations are circulating about the identity of the perpetrators of this act of barbarism. The truth about who are directly involved in this brutal incident and who could be the culprits behind the scene is yet to come out and we do not wish to indulge in any guesswork or blame game at this point. However, one is intrigued at its timing. Can it be termed a coincidence that it has happened on the day the Home Secretaries of the two countries concluded their talks in Islamabad and announced several concrete steps to move forward in the peace process, such as the opening of several land routes for trade – Kargil, Wagah-Attari, Khokhropar etc –, relaxation in the visa regime, a soft and liberal policy on the issue of release of prisoners and joint efforts to fight terrorism? Again, is it just a coincidence that on this fateful day the Foreign Minister of Pakistan was in the Indian capital holding very useful and productive talks with his Indian counterpart? One thing looks crystal clear. The enemies of peace and friendship between the two countries, whatever be the label under which they operate, are un-nerved by these healthy developments and are hell bent on torpedoing them.
We are of the considered opinion that the continued absence of peace in South Asia - peace between and within states - particularly in relation to India and Pakistan , is one of the root causes of most of the miseries the people of the region are made to endure. It is the major reason why our abundantly resource-rich subcontinent is wallowing in poverty, unemployment, disease, and ignorance and why militarism, religious and sectarian violence and political, economic and social injustice are eating into the very vitals of our societies, even after more than six decades of independence from colonial rule.
At this moment of unmitigated tragedy, the first thing we call upon the Governments of India and Pakistan to do is to acknowledge the fact that the overwhelming majority of the people of India and Pakistan ardently desire peace and, therefore, the peace process must be pursued with redoubled speed and determination on both sides. The sooner the ruling establishments of India and Pakistan acknowledge this fact and push ahead with concrete steps towards lasting peace and harmony in the subcontinent, the better it will be not only for the people of our two countries but also for the whole of South Asia and the world. While the immediate responsibility for unmasking the culprits of Mumbai and taking them to task surely rests with the Government of India, all of us in South Asia have an obligation to join hands and go into the root causes of why and how such forces of evil are motivated and emboldened to resort to such acts of anti-people terror.
It is extremely important to remind the leaderships of Pakistan and India that issuing statements and signing agreements and declarations will have meaning only when they are translated into action and implemented honestly, in letter and spirit and without any further loss of time. It assumes added urgency in the prevailing conditions in South Asia , with the possibility that so many different forces prone to religious, sectarian and other forms of intolerance and violence may be looking for ways to arm themselves with more and more sophisticated weapons of mass murder and destruction. The bloodbath in Mumbai must open the eyes of our governments, if it has not already happened.
We urge upon the governments of India and Pakistan to immediately take the following steps:

Italian leaders back French ‘yellow vest’ protesters
in important, News, Picture, Politics, Regions, Uncategorized, US January 12, 2019 , 13:01 Comments Off on Italian leaders back French ‘yellow vest’ protesters 565 Views
The two leaders of Italy’s ruling populist coalition on Monday threw their support behind the “yellow vest” protesters in neighbouring France.
“Yellow vests, do not weaken!” Deputy Prime Minister Di Maio, who heads the anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S), wrote in a post on his party’s blog.
He denounced the French government for protecting the elite and the privileged.
Matteo Salvini, his counterpart from the far-right, the anti-immigrant League, also backed the “yellow vest” protesters.
“I support honest citizens protesting against a president who governs against his people,” Salvini said in a statement, while “firmly” condemning recent protest violence.
It’s extremely rare for European leaders to back anti-government protesters in a fellow member state.
The move underscored the increasingly sour relations between Rome and Paris, which have previously clashed over immigration policy, among other issues.
On Monday, Di Maio offered French protesters the use of their so-called Rousseau platform to improve organisation and “draw up an electoral programme”.
“This system (Rousseau) is made for a horizontal and spontaneous movement such as yours and we would be happy if you want to use it,” Di Maio wrote.
Through its Rousseau internet portal, it gathers the votes of members online to decide its policies, draft legislation and candidates.
The platform is presented by the party as a reflection of its unique commitment to grassroots democracy and a new politics.
But it has been criticised, notably by former members, for its lack of transparency and the leadership’s tight control over its functioning.
The movement’s ultimately successful candidate for Rome mayor in 2016, Virginia Raggi, was chosen by M5S followers on Rousseau from among several previously unknown candidates.
“Like other governments, the French one thinks mainly about representing the interests of the elites, those who live from privileges, no longer those of the people,” Di Maio wrote.
French President Emmanuel “Macron’s government is not up to expectations and some policies are de facto dangerous, not just for the French, but for Europe.”
“In Italy, we have inverted this trend,” Di Maio wrote, calling on French protesters to do likewise.
Around 50,000 “yellow vest” protesters took to the streets again on Saturday in cities around France to denounce Macron’s centrist policies.
While the number of protesters has dwindled since the earliest protests, a smaller but increasingly radical core of “yellow vest” protesters remain determined to push on.
The demonstrations have been frequently violent since they began in late November, particularly on December 1 when crowds ransacked a museum in the Arc de Triomphe and daubed graffiti on the famed monument.
The French media has been targeted, while mock executions of Macron have also been a feature of some gatherings.
“Yellow vest” protests against fuel taxes began in rural and small-town France in late November, but then mushroomed into a wider revolt during December against the policies and governing style of 41-year-old Macron.
Italy’s M5S-League coalition in June became the European Union’s first populist-only government, taking over from the centre-left Democratic Party.
The ruling coalition has had numerous spats with Macron and with the European Commission in Brussels since coming to power, notably over its big-spending budget to apply populist measures.

$10,000 Mega Millions Winner Sold in Louisiana
The lottery gods have once again smiled upon a lottery player who purchased a ticket in Louisiana. There was a $10,000 winner sold in the state for last night's Mega Millions drawing. The winning ticket matched four of the five white-balls drawn. The player had also selected the correct number for the Mega Ball.
Here are the numbers that were drawn on August 11, 2020, for the Mega Millions drawing:
08 22 29 43 56 MB 09 MP x4
The $10,000 winner was purchased in Baton Rouge at the Circle K #9723. That store is located at 4851 O'Neal Lane in Baton Rouge. If you're holding that winning ticket you'll need to contact the Louisiana Lottery offices to arrange for your payment.
There was no big jackpot winner in last night's Mega Millions game. So, when they drop the ping pong balls again on Friday the estimated jackpot will be $31 million. Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot has not been won since June 10th. Tonight's drawing in that game will feature an estimated jackpot of $169 million dollars.
By the way, there will also be drawings tonight in two other Louisiana Lottery games, the LOTTO jackpot is now $550,000 and the Easy 5 jackpot is $60,000.As always we encourage you to play responsibly and only spend what you can afford to lose

FREE FROM GLUTEN BUT NOT FROM AWARDS AS WILDCRAFT BAKES ITS WAY TO SUCCESS
Posted on September 28, 2018 - News
Wildcraft Gluten Free Bakery, run by entrepreneurs Mina Allsopp and Sam Havis, is celebrating after securing three national FreeFrom Food Awards which encourage innovation and celebrate excellence in the freefrom food industry
The bakery won a Gold Award for the Sprouted Buckwheat Sourdough Loaf, Silver for the Brioche, and Overall Winner for Best Product from a new start-up.
This success, which comes just 18 months after the partnership decided to work together, is in no small part thanks to the Business Growth Collective and Leadership Event run by Leeds Trinity University, which was funded by AD:VENTURE, the ERDF programme supporting start-ups and young enterprises throughout the Leeds City Region.
Developing a range of products and adding to their many free from gluten concepts meant the Directors increasingly spent more time in the kitchen, and less time working on their business strategy.
It was at this point that Sam started to look for business support and came across the Business Growth Collective and Leadership Events, which are delivered by Andy Gilliland, a former Accountant specialising in early phase business growth who is now Academic Group Leader for Business, Management and Marketing at Leeds Trinity University.

The Business Growth Collective gave new businesses the chance to share their challenges and work on them collectively. Using the advice and feedback of others, each delegate would then work on their challenge at home to identify suitable and sustainable ways to take their company forward.
Sam found the leadership workshop, delivered by Ian McGregor Brown, a Senior Lecturer in Business at Leeds Trinity University, to be a relevant and timely session which enabled her to better strategically plan for growth.
Sam comments: “A business advisor had made me aware of some of the support that is available for start-up businesses and when I looked into it there was quite a few options, which was great, but I needed something that would be accessible for me and the time I could commit.
“The Business Growth Collective and Leadership events were great. I really liked the idea of talking to others in the same position, sharing experiences and using our collective knowledge to tackle each challenge. It certainly helped to refine my thoughts.”
From the sessions, Sam was relieved to get the confirmation and additional confidence she needed to know that the business was on the right tracks. Tackling the hurdle of how to get out of the bakery to work on the business, the company was able to put in place longer-term plans and has appointed two full-time and two part-time staff.
Andy Gilliland, Academic Group Leader for Business, Management and Marketing at Leeds Trinity University, said: “Hearing about the progress that Wildcraft Gluten Free Bakery has made since the sessions is further evidence that we are able to make a real and positive difference to the businesses we engage with. It’s great to hear that this company has taken the advice gleaned from the sessions, put it into practice and is seeing the benefits first-hand. We wish them every success for the future and look forward to tasting some of their delicious products when we next visit.”
Ian Rowe, Director of Business Development and Knowledge Exchange at Leeds Trinity University, said: “We are often asked how we measure success. Hearing stories like this, where a start-up is now a national award-winning business, is all the evidence we need. The sessions give aspiring entrepreneurs the chance to put the theory into practice and this approach is proving to be very effective.”
Making this commitment, Mina and Sam can now concentrate on running the business, which has included a renewed focus on raising the profile of the brand and taking the time to submit to national awards.
Sam adds: “Start-up companies can shy away from business events, believing that they know what they are doing, but we are a great example of how this support can help businesses to grow more quickly. We wouldn’t have made the appointments we have without the guidance we took from the Business Growth Collective and Leadership events.
“We would certainly encourage others to take a look and to see if there are any workshops, sessions or longer-term programmes that will support them with their future plans. As an award-winning business, we would certainly say it’s been worth it.”
Following its ongoing success and profile, Wildcraft Gluten Free Bakery is now looking for larger industrial premises in Leeds that will allow it to extend its production and consider new routes to market including mail order.

Home — Hand stitched patchwork and reverse applique CUSHION made by Meghwar women, Sindh, Pakistan
Hand stitched patchwork and reverse applique CUSHION made by Meghwar women, Sindh, Pakistan
Exquisite hand-stitched patchwork and applique cushion made by the Hindu Meghwar tribal women from a number of villages in Sindh, Pakistan.
I visited this area in February 2012 on a buying expedition, saw these cushions, which are a lot quicker and easier to make than quilts, and ordered some for my exhibition and sale.
Meghwar women have a worldwide reputation as magnificent artisans of thread and needle.
Although there is a remarkable resemblance to American patchwork and the theory that American missionaries in Pakistan in the 19th century taught these skills, the Meghwar tribes have been making their ralli (rilli) patchwork, applique and embroidered quilts for centuries. These women live in mud huts with a thatched grass roof, mud floor, no electricity and water collected from a well. These women live under strict Purdah rules and are not allowed outside their villages at all. The village men shop at the market in the nearest town. Also traders visit the village to sell goods and deal with the men. During the time these cushions covers were made the 2012 monsoon delivered huge rains and so it was very difficult. Massive flooding in 2010 and 2011 displaced millions of people in the Indus Valley.

American Crime Season III: Makes You Think
I recently came across the series American Crime (season three) on DSTV. The onscreen blurb says ‘Created by John Ridley, producer of 12 Years a Slave’. Associating the series with that film implies that American Crime will make a statement about social injustice and provide food for thought. This is indeed the case.
The message in American Crime is simple and clear. It’s about exploitation in modern-day, Western America. Those exploited include immigrants to the USA (both legal and illegal), homeless American teens and housewives. The crimes committed against these groups include cheap labour, physical and emotional abuse, entrapment and sex trafficking. Groups and individuals who try to intervene and help are social workers, specifically Terri LaCroix (Regina King), one of the housewives Barb Hanlon (Felicity Huffman), and finally the ‘justice’ system. But each of these ‘helpers’ is imbued with their own complex, real-life pressures. The series shows them trying to help and then gradually buckling under their own personal difficulties until the ‘help’ becomes tokenism. It is interesting to see that three of the story lines involve people eventually compromising morally on their interventions for the sake of their own children (or unborn children as the case may be). The final scene of the final episode highlights how the overarching problem is the failure of the justice system against all the victims.
So, yes, you don’t have to think deeply while watching American Crime. But it does make you ponder. Examine situations similar. Wonder how people have got into the situations they have. The characters in American Crime are numerous, complex and very well acted. And the situations are difficult and multi-faceted, just as they are in real life. Without moralising American Crime lays out how injustice happens and how we might all contribute in some way or other.
Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter sums up a response to the television series well when he says: ‘Nobody ever turns off an American Crime episode and says, “Sure, that’s what John Ridley was talking about on the surface, but here’s what I think the episode was REALLY about…” But if Ridley has done his job, and he usually has, you turn off an American Crime episode and say, “What do I think about what just happened? How does what just happened make me feel and what can I do about it?”’ http://bit.ly/2wHkrqL

Queer X Tour Blog
Posted on July 17, 2009 by alfabus
I have a strange compulsion to think of the date suddenly, without reason, throughout the day, as though it were urgent to remember, or rather, not to forget. I think: the 27th of July, today is 25 days since my father died. The 23rd of July, that’s 21 days since my father died. Yesterday it was the 22nd, 20 days after my father died. How could it be that he died so recently and so long ago?
At least, when I think these thoughts, I feel that I can cry. And that in the other moments, at least I can laugh like this. At least I can laugh this hard and at least I can cry this hard.
The Queer X Tour has been for me personally an un-thawing of sorts, a slow awakening to a self that’s been partially buried since my father got sick last November. It hit me like a train wreck, that first rehearsal the day I arrived back to Berlin three weeks ago, and the tour itself, the enormity of it, the pressure to be great onstage and to live up to the talent and intelligence of my peers, came on without cease. There was no possibility of ever stopping life around me from going on; there never was such a possibility.
It was that first day that began the big sigh of relief; all of us together for the first time to run our show in the black studio space. I was an hour late and bleeding like hell wearing big period underwear and a thick pad, feeling completely disorganized, rushed and only half of the woman that I really wanted to be then and for that rehearsal. And yet I experienced from the first moment a definite sense of comfort; that I could arrive at all in such a state and feel that all of those worries of mine were beginning to disappear and that indeed we were all committed to making such a great show together. It is not often that I get to work on shoe-string budget shows that nevertheless have a professional rehearsal schedule and even a director assigned to watch and critique our pieces. I was grateful, and moreover I got the sense that I was entering a space in which I could share my mistakes and bad ideas with women who honestly wanted to help me make a better show.
It might seem tangential to speak of my father, but he is not unrelated to this tour. I wish that I could speak of it to him; and perhaps I can speak more freely now to him than I ever could. He does not exactly know it, but he will always be instrumental in my work. A father is often a person’s first conception of masculinity. For a girl to understand herself sexually she might see something in the mirror of her father. I think of all the things I do not tell my father, or that he would not understand. In a sense his absence is no different, in regard to him understanding my artwork, than it always was. It is as wide and as full of possibility for relationship as it ever could be. I write about my experience and he could be reading it. If he is still on my email list he is still getting my email.
It was nearly the next day after our first meeting of the queer x tour, when we were naked together at Schwarzer Kanal Wagonbauplatz—that beautifully ripe political space in the middle of Berlin—talking about our sexual experiences, points of view on performance, expectations, and then looking at our cervixes in a tiny wagon with Sadie as our patient leader, women and bois together. To see butches checking out their cervixes in the mirror with a flashlight twisted my world upside down in that one image. Already a level of comfort established between us; a clear message also about the type of women that we would be together—open, sexual, naked, raw, unafraid.
PHOTO CERVIX SHOW 5082
That first week was packed; solo performances on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday; Tara at my side. Then Friday a new show with Tara at the L.U.X.; a baptismal piece about boundaries and consent. This was our first group show and I felt that it was received quite well but also increased my desire to improve personally for the next time. Early the next morning we were off, all eight of us sleep deprived and loony, into our white van decorated with bondage Barbie, punk baby dolls and flower chandeliers.
PHOTO FERRY TO COPENHAGEN 5628
On this trip I get to hear Ena laugh—a thing I never knew I loved so much. I get to hear my own laugh, deep and big and free. I get the sense that I am coming out from under a cloud, that even my pain is more beautiful because it is so pronounced and raw. I am trying to embrace the concept of the daily cry. I am trying to let it happen and to go deeply into it. And then in the opposite sense I feel the opening of a truly creative space.
PHOTO OF ENA LAUGHING FERRY TO COPENHAGEN 5677
What I appreciate most about this tour so far is the privilege and comfort of being surrounded by incredibly wonderful queer women; our ability to have these amazing conversations and not to feel like any of my opinions or feelings are wrong or illegitimate. I realized suddenly at the Brussels show that all my dirty thoughts and desires are a-okay and moreover, possible. It’s okay to take naked pictures in the middle of the club because that was not only what we wanted to do, but also what was expected of us. It is not often that I am able to feel like this. I could carry out that desire without any shame about it. In fact I have license to be exactly who I feel myself to be at all times. I like having that permission. I am familiar with a school of thought that believes sexual desire is superfluous, that these are the things that can and should be repressed and reconsidered, or that sexual freedom is luxury or even childish. But I can’t agree; freedom to express one’s self sexually is tied into every freedom of expression of the body, from speech to basic needs like eating and sleeping. When we don’t have the rope around us we suddenly realize just how much easier we can breathe.
PHOTO STOCKHOLM AFTERSHOW 5908
The conversations in the van challenge me and present viewpoints that are at times even uncomfortable; butch/femme dichotomies that I am unfamiliar with or can’t relate to, new terms that I’ve never heard of, strategies of polyamorous relationships that are new and interesting to me. Every viewpoint has been valuable. What’s nice is to know that my viewpoints are likely at times equally strange to others but, therefore, equally acceptable. It started on the day that we did the cervical show, which was only the first Wednesday at Schwarzer Kanal and continues into every instance we share from van to backstage to onstage to even private sexual experiences away from the camera. I am sure that this is exactly where I belong along my path in life, in my artwork. I hope this is how everyone on this earth gets to feel, or rather, it is a feeling that I can say that I should feel extremely blessed that I get to experience.

We have spoken of so many diverse subjects together already. Yesterday for example we were speaking of personalities that trigger us negatively– white people with dread locks, a drag queen who calls herself something like “Downie” and pretends to have Down Syndrome, artists to claim their art is apolitical. We talked about judging people by the way that they look and the power of appropriation; who owns what symbols, who has the legitimacy to even re-appropriate symbols and aspects of a heritage. Who has the right to wear a chieftain outfit, who can dress like a Nazi. Who can demand that another person suck their cock and slap them around.
We are laughing about so many things; we have created a mini language based on what Judy and Sadie called “mimes”: tiny snippets of random information that only have meaning to us. I am enjoying discovering Europe again through an American’s eyes. The idea of what is surreal is no longer surreal … and yet now it is again, I see it starkly and each day, especially as we drive into Germany and our experiences become a bit more like a John Waters film, as Germany always sort of has been. But I’ve forgotten to recognize it. Things can only be surreal when they are not quite real. But when the surreal becomes real, the surreal is lost. When I travel with Americans I begin to reawaken to what was once surreal. This is at once annoying (reliving the instance of surrealism discovered in innocent and loudly American appreciation) and twice joyous—to rediscover the apparent forgotten youthful innocence still inside, who has become so hardened to her reality that she ceases to recognize the absurdity of her own situation.
“Place your goblet. Make your choice,” says the badly translated self-serve coin-slot espresso machine in a Belgian rest stop. Sadie and I laughed so hard that pee was running down my leg. And every time I thought again upon it I exploded into laughter. Sadie made a cartoon of it; in which the choices on the coffee machine became “Espresso. Café Latte. God is Dead. Satan Rules. Certain Death. “
And I feel myself opening up, in a sense like Sadie’s speculum into her vagina, I feel myself opening “like a flower”—to be terribly lesbianic (a term we throw around liberally). I feel myself laughing more hysterically. I feel the tears becoming more terrible, more significant, more pronounced and at the moments that I don’t exactly expect them. I think about how to hang out with my dad now that he is no longer alive, if I can get closer to him simply by writing about him, continuing to read more about him. I think about how I hung out with him at the funeral home as I slowly got used to the reality of his dead body—familiarity by osmosis.
It’s a slow unthawing, I guess, I am hoping. That I might find a little bit of life under here, even the painful parts, and it’s this kind of perspective, which happens to be called “queer” but could be called something else, that makes it come so much more easily, and my own willingness or readiness to open.
Coming out of the club the other night in Brussels, I concentrated hard on each step as I carried out my five bags from the depths of the subway station turned club. And as I climbed the final stairway I recalled that my father had counted all the steps from our apartment to my elementary school Bottonfield (which he called Bottom-field and that embarrassed me and pleased me with guilty delight all at the same time) in Champaign so I wouldn’t get lost on the way to school. I think there were 567 steps. He asked me, not long ago, if I remembered how many steps there were. Those are the kind of questions that sometimes you want to ask someone. Dad, do you remember how many steps there were?
I am not sure how to articulate the strange yet obvious juxtaposition of contemplating a father’s life and being a queer woman on tour with the queer x team. In some sense I feel the strength of the juxtaposition because a father and a girl’s sexuality is always at odds, or almost always set up to be so. He is the model for all men, he is the expectation of all men, his fears of men are her fears of men, his imaginings of other men as predatory are as real as men being so. And as well it should be for him; he would have his daughter believe he is the safest man in the whole world.
I remember that in the last couple of years my father read some of my writing on queer performance and that at one time he told me in the car, “I enjoyed your writing, but does all this stuff about performance and female sexuality really matter all that much?” And somehow, to my dismay, I recognized what he meant, in the sense that I could concede to see where he was coming from. And I relinquished for a moment instead of chiming with teenage defensiveness. I simply said, “sure, I guess in some sense it doesn’t matter all that much.”
But now that I reflect on that moment I realize that he felt similarly about his obsession with mathematics—not really that it didn’t matter, or that it was futile, or that he would give up trying to figure out that one problem, but rather that in the larger scheme of things it didn’t matter all that much except to him. So when I asked him about the mathematical problem he spent fifteen years contemplating without finding any answer, “What will really happen if you figure it out?” He answered, “Nothing. Absolutely nothing, Katie.”
I cried before going to sleep last night, I woke in the morning to Wendy and to Ena, their kind eyes and faces. They have the right kind of energy for me at this time and the room in Paris, Wendy’s room, reminds me of something earlier about my life in San Francisco, about being an artist, about going to my Aunt Angela’s house and the smells there that I can’t quite place. It reminds me of another life I could be living or am almost not quite living. I lie there looking at her books and think that I probably should be/ could be … going more doing more in the direction of writing and of publishing and Wendy inspired me to want to be writing my own book and taking it to the next level. I am distracted at the moment from being in this writing, for example, by my competing need to be practicing my piece for the evening and the need to be memorizing and adding and thinking about the piece itself.
And such is the beautiful part of being inspired and challenged by the women around me—they inspire desire in me, jealousy, pride in their work, urgency in my own; to produce more, to do better, to complicate myself, to take myself less seriously, to take myself more seriously, more professionally. To work harder. To be as beautiful and modest and generous and artistically talented as they are.
The show at Le Tango was one of the best shows of my life; not my show alone—though I felt very good about it—but I mean specifically together as a group, I have never in my life been so proud of us. I was so proud to be onstage with these women and as we were performing I thought, wow, we are bringing the women and men in this audience something really special, something they have never seen before. As Sadie finished meshing our bodies into hers, bathing us in the ritual of the whore, kissing our breast and pressing us into her own, I felt the tears rush to my eyes. I stood before a queer audience that wanted us to be there, that was angry and proud and critical and full of praise for us. I even liked the bitching theorists who had yet another analysis for our not critically complex enough performances, performances that are always ever arriving, about to come, about to climax, almost but not yet there in the imaginings of what we really see for ourselves and our identities as changing women. One is never really old enough to be an artist. One will never escape the process so much that he or she can produce the final word on his or her own life.
This trip has not been without drama. There was the night that a man harassed us at a restaurant as he passed without provocation, calling us dogs and lesbians. When I asked him to fucking leave he became incensed and told me he would shoot me, reaching for a gun in his back pocket that I never discovered was there or not. Only two days later one of the bois that was helping us during out shows got physically attacked in the Paris subway. We’ve had internal frustrations about taking two much time to get from point A to point B, we’ve had trip-ups in shows, forgotten props, mid-street strip performances, rough sex, awkward piercings onstage, fights with partners, polyamorous negotiations, temper tantrums, crying fits and peals of laughter.
On my last day in Paris I drive Madison to the airport with Judy—an adventure in itself—and then decide to visit Shakespeare Books on my own, the sister store of City Lights in San Francisco. This is significant to me for many reasons.
I walk in and inhale the delicious smell of new books and, indeed, written in English—rare treats for an American writer living in Germany. I’m not speaking of the new books that you can find at airports—the latest NY Times Bestseller—rather, the new independent press publications in queer theory and ethnic studies and pop cultural commentary, even American big gun literary magazines like Tin Roof and the Believer, two staples of my MFA experience. I feel the strong simultaneous delight at experiencing this alone and yet wanting to share the feeling with someone else. I write a letter in my head, as I often do—a letter to someone, you, for instance, trying to explain why this experience of being in Paris on the Queer X Tour at this moment in Shakespeare Books is so important to me.
There is a completion of a circle here in this moment that started when I was very young and writing short stories in school, continued into Simon’s Rock in high school, the summer spent with writers like me in Massachusetts, continuing on to my first moments alone in Oakland when I was a young aspiring writer deciding to go back to school, to a budding writer in San Francisco who began to even dare calling herself a writer to taking the writing from readings to performance and to now being here on a tour as a performance artist. It is as similar a path of discovery of being queer, of being a freak, of discovering one’s “kind” and realizing where they must go if they are to follow their heart.
It is Judy telling me that for her City Lights also has a special place in her heart as a writer, because that is where she found Michelle Tea’s book and said, I want to translate this girl into French and fuck it—actually began doing translation of American feminists into French. This is how I felt when I started getting to know the queer literary and performance art scene in San Francisco as well—this mix of total adoration and hero worship that slowly developed into rapid heart beating when I start to rub shoulders with my idols.
This is one of the reasons why this tour is important to me. Sometimes I’m not quite sure how it ended up that I got to be part of this group, what strange and lovely twists of fate managed to land me here, and then I think when I’m among them, like when we were holding Madison after our group scene with her backstage at the Chez Regine – I wonder, equally, how it could have been any other way? It seems so natural and right that I should be a part of this because in this group I feel moments of my most comfortable. How could it be that I could never meet Sadie, who is clearly my twin separated at birth, and, of all things, ride the Vomitorium in Brussels with her, coming to orgasm 12 times as we spin far above the city and at the same moment decide we must indeed relinquish control and trust that we will be held as the wind rushed by us; how could it be that I wouldn’t get to meet bright-eyed and boundary-pushing Madison and learn about Femina Potens, her queer feminist San Francisco gallery which places me squarely back into the birthplace of my personal sexual revolution; How could it be that I would never meet seductive Wendy and her hot James Dean girlfriend with the tanned Corsican goddess underneath—how could I not get to experience the natural comfort and thrill at performing with Wendy, such a talented, professional, natural and sharp performer, not to mention industrious young writer and translator; How could I not have met the brilliant young and beautiful Judy, a prodigy, in my mind, who dares to do whatever she feels in the moment, who tells me about French revolutionary struggle and speaks with the passion of the young student activist that I was; or Ena, calm and clear-headed, who has always been a crush, to see her hot and shaved with only gaffer tape and headphones, matching beats with a confidence that is so attractive; and how could I have not begun to work with Emilie, whose work I first admired at the Berlin porn film festival and now share a show with.
When it compares to other tours that I am on, there are no other situations where I am allowed to be as openly sexual, as openly loving, as openly unashamed about desires. That I could feel as safe in my opinions that I begin to speak in group discussion, that I feel motivation to create new performances. That I would dare to share my ideas with the women around me and brainstorm a new performance idea. When I am developing a new idea with almost any other group or even my closest partners, I often feel what I describe as stage fright—that fear that my idea will be shot down. Here I feel a base confidence that no matter how much work my idea needs, I do not need to be afraid to share it.
How could it possibly be that I wouldn’t be able to meet these lovely women with whom I feel so much comfort? We have become so comfortable with our bodies that we hardly think about taking off our clothing in situations that might be judged as inappropriate. We are riding half naked in the van. And for us, for me, empowerment is evident in that irreverence to social propriety; our empowerment makes the irreverent possible, not the other way around.
I suppose in this way it is beginning to make sense to me to say, “I only sleep with girls.” Because I know I don’t actually mean that I only sleep with girls, but what I mean is that I only sleep with people who can understand the nuances and importance of healthy sexuality, healthy bodies, and healthy gender expression. And among these women I am beginning to see the ease of this over and above what I have experienced with many men, even homosexual men. On the other hand, I don’t want to be quick to judge because it is also rare to find, among a random set of women, this kind of mutual understanding. But that’s exactly what makes queer people have a sense of unification, I suppose. And it does seem, time and again, that the glove does fit nicely.
I think of my father in the book store—God, did he ever even know the depth of my yearning as a young artist in City Lights? I think of his eyes when I last saw him in Dulles airport, the sun streaming through those large windows. I think of all the writing I have ever done about my father, I think about the certainty that, “all things will be written.” I think about his favorite poet Dylan Thomas dying young. I think about the Tour de France when I see tourist t bike shirts for sale in front of the Notre Dame. I am torn apart on the inside to think of him and tears come to my eyes. How could it be, ever, that a father would not want this sense of power and comfort and strength for his daughter as she navigates the world?

SONiC Composer Spotlight – Clarice Assad
Brazilian-American Clarice Assad is a Grammy-nominated composer, pianist, and vocalist of a wide variety of styles of music, including her own original concepts. Described by the San Francisco Chronicle as “a serious triple threat,” Clarice is equally comfortable as a performer, a band leader, and a composer. ACO’s SONiC Festival is excited to present Clarice in all these roles at its final AfterHours concert, Wednesday, 10pm at Drom in the East Village, along with dynamic jazz ensemble Eco-Music Big Band.
Clarice was kind enough to answer some questions about her upcoming performance.
Composer/performer/bandleader Clarice Assad
American Composers Orchestra: As a composer you bridge gaps between jazz, classical, avant garde, Brazilian and world music. Is there any one style that you think serves as the basis for your program with Off The Cliff, or are they equal influences?
Clarice Assad: I chose Vem pro Rio as a starting point. It is a simple, straight-forward samba that serves as a nice contrast between the styles that follow, which are nothing like the samba / Brazilian bossa nova rhythms that most people know. We will be performing music from some of Brazil’s most interesting young contemporary composers/songwriters, who are searching for new sounds in their own unique ways. For example, in Thiago Amud’s political piece A Marcha dos Desacontecimentos, he builds this complex, chromatic harmonic world that floats atop a simple rhythmic style that originated in the early 1920’s, known as the carnival march. It sounds really interesting. Gabriel Levy’s Baião de Cinco is also quite innovative, because he combines melodic fragments found in forró music with Arabic overtones. As a composer who enjoys bringing musical styles together, I have great appreciation for what these artists are doing, and I am also really excited to share this music with people who might not normally come across anything like this.
ACO: Your ensemble, Off The Cliff, features some truly world class players. Can you talk about what brought you together, especially in regards to your fusion of musical styles?
CA: We were all brought together by our passion to perform music that we loved – our beginnings weren’t very professional. In fact, we couldn’t make it a priority as far as how much time we could dedicate to it. If we had a show somewhere, we almost never had time to prepare… During performances, I recall many times not knowing exactly how a piece was supposed to start or end. There were so many funny and exciting moments because of this. Part of the secret for this to work is trust. And part of the magic, I found, was being on the edge of falling apart, but somehow, being able to hold it together. That’s why we call the ensemble Off The Cliff!
Originally the group started out as a trio, made up of people who could play more than one instrument. The idea was to move back and forth between instruments and in different combinations, to keep the music fresh and interesting. Some of the instruments (say, the banjo, the mandolin, or cavaquinho, and the vast array of percussion instruments that Keita Ogawa performs) helped create the melding of styles quite naturally. Within the past year, our original ensemble performed extensively in places where other musicians would join us (string sections from orchestras, students, local ensembles, guest artists, etc.) and we’ve become this ‘modular’ group, that can adapt itself to different places and situations, depending on what they call for.
For SONiC, we are being joined by phenomenal players such as Adam Niewood, Matthew Rohde, Su Terry, Sergio Krakowski, and Petros Klampanis – and also lead singers Lara Bello and Sissy Castrogiovanni.
ACO: What other SONiC Festival concerts are you planning to see this week? Anything you’re excited about?
CA: I wish I could go to every single one of them!! The amount of talent that is being showcased is quite outstanding. I am, though, crazy about vocal music so I was super excited to see that Roomful of Teeth was going to be featured. They are simply phenomenal.
