Blankets of snow could be seen covering an area close to the desert town of Ain Sefra in Algeria, on Wednesday, January 13, as temperatures fell to -3°C. Surrounded by the Atlas Mountains, Ain Sefra is located an approximate 1,000 metres above sea level. The unexpected scenes were captured by photographer Karim Bouchetata, whose striking photographs captured the snowfall settling on the famously dry sand dunes.

While many people take the opportunity to treat Martin's life as a pre-packaged hallmark card of cliché speeches, far too few take the time to fully appreciate not only the depth of his understanding of the multifaceted evils plaguing society but also his brilliant plans, methods and vision for creative problem solving which touched on far more than the single issue of "civil rights" for which he is celebrated. In fact, on deeper inspection, we should not be surprised to discover that Martin had come to bridge the gulf between racial justice, economic justice, imperial wars abroad and also global economic imperialism and worked hard to create a functional battle plan to solve all of those problems. It should not be surprising that this great leader was killed (followed soon thereafter by his ally Robert Kennedy), and the world took a very dark and un-natural trajectory.

__label__cc	0.663943	0.336057	Friday, January 8th, 2016 \| Posted by Peter Mulvany Syria: Starved Madayda gets humanitarian assistance The Assad regime gave permission to the U.N to deliver aid to the towns of Madayda, Fuaa and Kafraya after six months under siege. Pro-Assad forces control access to Madayda while rebel forces command over the two other towns. The approval from the Syrian government will come as a sign of relief for the population especially in Madayda where the U.N said it had “credible reports of people dying from starvation” while images of children allegedly eating leaves, earth and killing animals for food surfaced on social media platforms. The three towns are part of a landmark six-month deal reached in September for an end to hostilities in those areas in exchange for humanitarian assistance but its implementation has been delayed as cooperation on the ground stalls. The U.N said humanitarian assistance will be delivered to the three towns “in the coming days.” The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stated that at least 10 people died from lack of food and medicine. It also claimed that those who tried to search for food out of the town were either killed by landmines or targeted by snipers leading to the death of around 13people. There are mixed feelings in Madayda after the news broke out. Some celebrated by firing in the air while others prefer to wait for the arrival of the assistance first before rejoicing. Only 10% of the requested aid deliveries destined for hard-to-reach and besieged areas have been delivered last year, according to the U.N. The last time Madayda received humanitarian assistance was in October and “numerous requests” that followed didn’t get positive replies. Written by: Peter Mulvany on January 8, 2016.

__label__wiki	0.545448	0.545448	Taking in the festive air with an azhdarchid pterosaur An azhdarchid pterosaur takes off in a festively-coloured woodland, because it's Christmas. Prints are available. I was recently thrilled to have the above image featured on the front cover of The Anatomical Record, its depiction of a freshly launched azhdarchid pterosaur tying in with the first paper of the issue. And yes, the colours are deliberately festive, because the Anatomical Record adopts a Christmas theme for its December issues, hence the deep reds and greens of my image. There's two stories I briefly want to tell about this: one about the paper it accompanies, and the other about the art itself. My art accompanies the work of Nick Geist and his team on the respiratory mechanism of large pterodactyloid pterosaurs (Geist et al. 2014). Lung ventilation in pterosaurs is an interesting topic. The torso skeleton of many pterodactyloids is locked up pretty tightly thanks to their vertebrae fusing together, their scapulocoracoids being tightly braced between their sterna and backbones and a series of robust, mostly immobile ribs. How were their lungs or air sacs inflated within such a rigid skeleton? Because this configuration isn't a million miles from the torso skeletons of some birds, some authors (Claessens et al. 2009) have suggested that pterosaurs may have breathed in basically avian manner: muscles anchoring to small ribs set between the sternum and larger thoracic ribs move the sternum up and down, pumping air around the body in the process. This has been accepted fairly widely for the last five years, but now Geist et al. (2014) have presented an alternative argument. They suggest that pterosaur sternal ribs are ill suited for anchoring such muscles because they are very slender - we might even call them fragile - and often entirely cartilaginous, the latter observation borne out by their poor representation in fossil record. Indeed, large portions of the pterosaur chest seem cartilaginous and rarely preserved - the bony sterna of many species (Dorygnathus and Scaphognathus spring to mind) are tiny, and cannot possibly have supported the flight musculature indicated by their powerful shoulders and forelimbs. There must have been large cartilage extensions to these in life. Moreover, in many respects pterosaur torso construction resembles those of crocodilians more than birds, such as the manner with which the thoracic ribs articulate with the vertebrae and the essentially vertical orientation of the ribs themselves. This configuration does not permit the rib rotation required to move the sternum in respiration, and actually adds further rigidity to the anterior pterosaur torso. A bird-like respiratory mechanic may be unlikely for pterosaurs then. So how were pterosaurs breathing, then? Perhaps the only part of their bodies which wasn't locked up tight and permitted the expansion and contraction required for breathing was their bellies. Behind the sternum sits a suite mobile bones: the belly ribs (gastralia) and the prepubes, a pair of paddle-shaped bones articulated with the pelvis, along with a few 'floating' sternal ribs. Perhaps, like crocodiles, but unlike birds, pterosaurs used this region of their body to control the pressure in their lungs. Crocodiles use contraction of their abdominal muscles to move a large, body-spanning liver forward to compress their lungs, while relaxation of their abdominal wall then allows the liver to retract and the lungs to expand, bringing in their next breath. It seems this action accounts for about 65% of air moved in and out of their lungs, with the rest coming from costal - rib - movements. Given that it seems only pterosaur bellies were flexible enough to inflict substantial changes on body volume, it is not inconceivable to think they used a similar 'belly-pump' (or extracostal pump) as their principle means of controlling air flow into their lungs. What does this mean for pterosaur lung structure overall? It's well known that pterosaur skeletons and bodies were pneumatised to the same extent, if not more, than avian dinosaurs, prompting suggestions that pterosaurs also had solid avian-like lungs and similar unidirectional flow-through pulmonary mechanics (Claessens et al. 2009). Do the observations of Geist et al. (2014) refute this? Well, not really, but they don't support them, either. As Geist et al. point out: we really don't know anything concrete about pterosaur lung structure, and it's actually pretty hard to tell anything about them from bones alone. A bird-like lung may have been present in pterosaurs and would certainly be consistent with extensive skeletal pneumaticity. However, we need to be careful about exclusively linking extensive pneumaticity with bird-like respiratory organs: flying fish, which of course have no lungs at all, also have pneumatised skeletons thanks to outgrowths of their swim bladders (Geist et al. 2014). Moreover, our uncertainty is not helped by a general lack of knowledge about reptile lungs. This year has seen several revelations about the lungs of extant reptiles being more complex, and sometimes more avian-like, than previously thought. We might need a better handle on reptile lung diversity, and the phylogenetic distribution of different lung structures within Sauropsida, before we start making inferences about the lungs of long extinct reptile lineages. In sum, while the avian-like pterosaur lung remains a viable hypothesis, it's not the only option on the table. We might be able to gain insights into how the body cavity of pterosaurs was manipulated to move air in and out, but their precise lung anatomy remains largely mysterious (Geist et al. 2014). There's a lot more we could say about this, but you'll have to track down the full paper for further details. The cover image Festivodactylus in situ. There's a bit of a story behind the cover artwork for this paper too. It's hardly the stuff of novels but, given that 2014 has been another year in which palaeoart plagiarism and working practices have been a hot topic, it's nice to share a happier, positive story about a palaeoartwork for a change. This cover has been a long time coming, with Nick asking me for potential cover art for the paper at the end of last year. I duly obliged by lending the flying Anhanguera from my book. Nothing much happened while the paper was crunched through the publication mill, until in November the cover art arrived. Looked like I was due for the December issue, which, as noted above, Anatomical Record always jazzes up with festive colours - green, red and white. This involved tweaking the colours of my original art to meet these, as well as some stretching and cropping to fit the AR cover format. Without going into details, I wasn't really happy with the results. Uh oh. Pessimist I am, I foresaw the worst. I stress that these expectations weren't because of previous experience of working with Nick or AR, but my experiences with other clients and agencies. Protesting about art use normally leads to Bad Things: unhappily forced compromises, loss of commissions, or having to fix 'problems' without pay. When writing back to Nick and AR with my concerns, I pretty much expected the whole cover project to fall apart. I pitched, without optimism, the idea of doing another image, for a fee, to replace the modified one. Despite linking to the 'State of the Palaeoart' article I helped pen this year to substantiate my request for payment, I was expecting the same old response: lack of money, thanks but no-thanks. To my complete surprise, Nick, his colleagues and AR were on board with everything. The 'palaeoart situation' was new to them all, but I - we, the palaeoart community - had their sympathy. Within a day, AR had been able to put things on hold for a week while I drafted a new image to their specifications and size, Nick and his team rapidly found a generous payment for the work at short notice, and we all ended up with a product we were happy with. I mention all this for two reasons. Firstly, Nick, his team and AR deserve accolade for being so refreshingly cool and respectful of palaeoartistry. Secondly, independent palaeoartistry can seem a most hopeless industry at times: we get ripped off by everyone from toy companies and movie makers to museums and publishers; our marketplace is mainly structured around exploitation of individuals, and sympathy or assistance from those in the position to change this can be hard to find. But, as this case shows, it's not all hopeless. Increasing awareness of the issues facing palaeoartistry does help rectify them, change can happen, and we have more supporters than we know. I'm optimistic that eventually we'll all have more stories like this one than the negative situations currently reported so frequently. Best to you all for the festive period, see you all in 2015!

Labels: Azhdarchidae, cover art Overcooking Aucasaurus garridoi Aucasaurus made a note in its diary after this. Simply said: "Bugger". Prints are available. This week I've been mostly rendering an abelisaurid, the theropod group best known for short-faced, short-armed taxa such as Carnotaurus, and famous for occupying many predatory niches in southern continents while tryannosaurids occupied the north. This 'common knowledge' is only mostly true however: abelisaurids did spread to at least Europe in the uppermost Cretaceous, and represent the largest predatory dinosaurs on the continent at that time. We need not overstate that significance however: uppermost Cretaceous Europe was a topsy-turvy world where all theropods were rather small, and top-dog predator duties were likely filled by terrestrially-stalking, quarter-tonne azhdarchid pterosaurs. It seems even evolution likes a good Htichcockian-twist every now and then. In southern continents, abelisaurids remained medium-to-large sized predators. It was one of these, the Campanian, Patagonian species Aucasaurus garridoi that Felix Bridel asked me to paint as one of my £100 palaeoart commissions. Aucasaurus is one of the best known abelsisaurids, the holotype skeleton presenting an almost complete osteology of this c. 5 m long animal, and is considered a 'derived' member of the abelisaur clan. Its anatomy is almost as unusual as that of its close relative Carnotaurus. Like other abelisaurids, the general bauplan of Aucasaurus was that of a small head, tiny arms and relatively gracile torso strapped to a robust, probably powerfully muscled hindlimbs and tail. The peculiar anatomy of derived abelisaurid proximal tail vertebrae created huge spaces for hindlimb muscle-anchorage and likely betrays tremendous sprinting power (Persons and Currie 2011). Perhaps this explains the strange upper-body anatomy of abelisaurids: their gracile bodies and reduced extremities may represent pressures to keep weight down and speeds high. Long term readers may reconcile some components of this functional complex with another group of dinosaurs, the ornithischian clade Dryosauridae, which also married a powerful set of legs with a svelte upper body. Felix wanted to incorporate the notion that Aucasaurus and similar species were probably fast runners into his commission, but not in a conventional way. While recent research has hinted that abelisaurids were likely fast, they were likely not as agile as other taxa. Bulging abelisaurid hindlimb muscles may have created a lot of power, but they also kept the tail base rather immobile (Persons and Currie 2011). In tight turns, the tail probably fairly ineffective for adjusting gravity centres or resisting turning inertia. Felix wanted his Aucasaurus image to reflect this, showing a predator which had overcooked its pursuit of a more nimble prey item and lost balance altogether. I was more than happy to oblige: watching animals for any length of time reveals they are just as clumsy as we are, but we seldom see palaeoart reflecting this. Perhaps the only exception is predators being thwacked by the weapons of their prey, which I guess sort of reflects a clumsiness, but it's not quite the same level of slapstick as an animal slipping over. My brief working time with Felix was a lot of fun: it was clear from our first few emails that we had a similar idea in mind and the image came together quickly. I posted my progress of the image up on Twitter and, as you can see below, the basics of the image weren't altered from the start. Efforts were made to show the Aucasaurus mid-slip: deep enough into the fall for some immediate reaction to show, but early enough that the limbs and dust still have to settle. To my mind, the animal's right leg flew out from beneath it when attempting a tight left-turn, leaving it to gaze off-canvas at whatever prey item it was pursuing. WIP clumsy Aucasaurus.

And for the complete schedule... http://www.anniesbooksworcester.com/image/SBSaturday2014.jpg And about the store! http://www.anniesbooksworcester.com/ Posted by New England Horror Writers at 5:21 PM No comments: In a little less than a week, the NEHW will be making the annual pilgrimage to Worcester, MA for the mayhem that is Rock and Shock. 3+ days of metal, horror and pop culture. We've been doing this show as long as I can remember the show being around. This is the convention's 11th year and it might be ours being there as well. I (Scott) used to go to the show as a fanboy. Drive down to the Centrum early as hell on Saturday, grab my ticket and bop around for a few hours. After joining up with the NEHW I started selling books there and hanging out with the other writers gathered within. A couple years ago, I took over the show from TJ May and have been digging it ever since. The years went by, some of the faces changed, the rest of us got older. Now it's waiting until the weekend of the 17th. They used to have the show on Columbus day weekend, until NY Comic Con started sucking up all the star power and draw. I can't tell you who the first person I got a signature from at R&S was, but one of my favorites is the always lovely Dee Wallace. And I keep waiting for that big Phantasm re-union. But until then... On Saturday our own Jack Haringa and KH Vaughan from 12-1PM We're also doing the first ever writing class/seminar on the basics of the craft Saturday 4:30 to 5:30 - that one will be taught by Trisha Wooldridge, Bracken Macleod and me (Scott Goudsward.)

Tewsbury Library 10/7 The Next Anthology The New England Horror Writers (NEHW) are pleased to announce their third anthology!

The book will be another open themed anthology, to be edited by David Price, Daniel Keohane and Scott Goudsward. Because we are doing an open themed anthology the requirements aren’t too difficult. Stories should be between 2500 words and 5000 words. Query for longer or shorter works. We’re not looking for tired, old clichéd fiction or your trunk stories that have been hanging around for years.

We shouldn’t have to say it, but we’re going to. Please, keep it R rated, no excessive sex or gore. We’re not looking for erotica or splatterpunk. Please keep the kids out of the sex, it’s just creepy and not fun to read. Violence is ok, but like the earlier statements, if it fits the story, that’s fine. That’s about it. The anthology will have 13-15 new and original stories. We will be taking two reprints by invite only. Reading period is 10/1/14 – 12/31/14. Please do not query about your story until after the reading period has ended. We will contact you, one way or the other. Once you sub a story to us, please do not query if we’ve received it.

They are followers of a different path, a way of magic and mystery, of old customs and ancient knowledge. In their world appearances can mean so much but those appearances are not always what they seem. Isabelle Thicket, a sorceress of the black arts is about to collide with Jacob Norsen, a sorcerer of white magic, and all Hell will break loose. Isabelle will stop at nothing to get what she wants and Jacob will do anything to protect those he loves. Two of the most powerful forces of nature will clash in a battle to the death and their power will unleash a greater evil...an old, hungering evil that will threaten the world. There's no safe place to hide from... The Fetch. Available on Kindle, Nook, Kobo or Paperback.

When Pete and Gary Godfrey stumble upon a skeleton in an ancient burial chamber, their lives are forever altered. They activate a bizarre crystal cube clasped in the skeleton's hand, and once its terrifying power has been awakened, things quickly spiral out of their control. The brothers have put themselves and the entire city of New York in danger, and soon they fall into the crosshairs of an NSA agent driven by a shadowy agenda. The deadly implications of their find could change the course of human history, and they have no choice but to solve the mystery of the cube before it annihilates them all. The first in a two-part work, The Button is a Science Fiction/Thriller that asks if humanity is far older than we've been led to believe. Was our species more advanced in some distant past? Is there a conspiracy to hide a secret history from the public? Perhaps the answers lie in the Godfrey brother's accidental discovery, but they'd better work fast, because the countdown has begun ...

Les Daniels’ Place as an Icon of New England Horror Guest Blog by Matt Bechtel of Necon E-Books Essentially, Les Daniels went to Brown University and never left. Of course, that’s an oversimplification; Les didn’t spend his entire life on campus, nor in the city of Providence (one of my favorite Les stories regards the circumstances around his trip to London to write a screenplay for Dino De Laurentis, but I’m saving that anecdote for our article on Michael Arruda’s blog). In spirit, however, it’s pretty close. Les definitely found more than just a geographic home on Benefit Street; in fact, it’s arguable that no writer ever embraced and lived the life of the intellectual Bohemian artist the way he did. As such, that influence became a two way street, with Les shaping the New England artistic community as much as it shaped him. Les’ contributions to the local scene were as varied as his interests and talents. In print, he reviewed books for the Providence Journal and penned a regular film review / pop culture column titled “Mind Rot” in the Providence Eagle (keep in mind, this is years before web sites such as ESPN’s spin-off site “Grantland” would help turn writing about pop culture into a massive industry). On stage, he performed an act that can only be described as a live version of the iconic ‘90’s TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000, purposefully playing bad movies and skewering them with comedic commentary to his audience. Once again, this was years, literally decades, before MST3K became a smash, another example of just how far ahead of the curve Les was creatively. It was another type of live performance, however, which allowed Les to share one of his other true passions and talents — music. Those who don’t know of Les’ musical background are probably (and understandably) jumping to the wrong conclusion right now; after all, we’ve all been to plenty of conventions where writers have broken into song for various reasons (including the dreaded practice of “filking”), and some of them are, admittedly, fairly talented. However, comparing those singers to Les as a musician is like comparing a talented high school writer to Les as an author. In short, they’re amateurs; Les was a pro. His band, The Double Standard String Band, featured himself on leads and banjo, TV and film star Martin Mull (before he was a famous actor), and bluegrass legend Sam Tidwell. Together, they played at the famous Club 47 in Cambridge; other acts to grace that stage during those years included Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. Above all else, it’s Les’ ties to New England horror that establish him as a legend in the community. After all, as I mentioned, the man lived most of his adult life on Benefit Street in Providence, literally blocks away from 135 Benefit Street, a.k.a. “The Shunned House” which helped inspire H.P. Lovecraft’s short story of the same name. His contributions to and influence upon the Necon Convention would take pages upon pages to list, but he was Necon’s second Guest of Honor, its seventh roast victim (and the first author to be repeatedly tortured year after year as the “fake victim” until he thought he’d never actually land in the chair himself!), and an inductee into Necon’s Inaugural Hall of Fame Class in 2007. In short, Les was an unquestioned pillar of the community and greatly responsible for weaving the fabric which is New England horror. To this day, attend any NEHW event (or visit their table at a con) and you’ll be embraced, welcomed and encouraged; you can thank Les, amongst a host of others, for fostering that environment for decades. Heck, I’d even go so far as to say if there were a Mount Rushmore of New England Horror Writers, Les’ bust would belong upon it (probably squeezed between Lovecraft and a certain horror author from Maine who’s sold a few books over the years …). Which brings me to the irony of all ironies regarding Les Daniels, his writing, and New England —when it came to his most famous works (The Don Sebastian Chronicles), the two never met! The only time Don Sebastian traveled to the New World, he found himself south of the border, embroiled in Hernan Cortez’ attack upon Tenochitlan (Book Two: The Silver Skull). As much as Les Daniels shaped the New England artistic scene and as much as it shaped him, he never brought his most iconic character to his beloved locale (in any timeframe). Honestly, can you imagine Faulkner setting his seminal works of fiction in the north, or Joyce setting his in London instead of on the Emerald Isle? This is certainly not a complaint, as I don’t feel The Don Sebastian Chronicles lack in the least from not visiting the shores of New England; it’s just an odd, quirky observation. But then again, maybe that’s a fitting observation about a banjo-playing-pop-culture-film-and-book-reviewing-stand-up-comedian … who, oh yeah, also wrote a little horror fiction, too. Just a friendly reminder — The Complete Don Sebastian Chronicles are now available as e-books at Necon Ebooks, so please order your copies today!

The Uses of Space In Early Modern History 1500-1850, Seminar Series International History Department, LSE The study of space and place is an increasingly important research-field in the humanities and social sciences. This series explores how spatial ideas and approaches can be used to understand the societies, cultures and mentalities of the past. Leading scholars from a range of disciplines will reflect on the uses of space in two respects: how spatial concepts can be employed by or applied to the study of history; and how particular spaces were used for practical and ideological purposes in specific periods Series Organiser: Dr Paul Stock p.stock@lse.ac.uk Place: LSE New Academic Building, room 2.14 Time: 18.00 All welcome http://www2.lse.ac.uk/internationalHistory/events/theUsesOfSpaceinEarlyModernHistory1500-1850/homeTheUsesOfSpaceInEarlyModernHistory1500-1850.aspx 24 November 2011: Dr Rachel Hewitt (Oxford) 'Mapping History: Cartographic Revolution in the Eighteenth Century' Professor Kevin Sharpe dies Colleagues will be saddened to hear of the death of Prof Kevin Sharpe who died in Southampton on Saturday, November 5th. Kevin Sharpe (1949-2011) was one of the most important historians of early modern Britain during the last half century and particularly important in helping us understand the complex ways literary texts may be employed as historical documents. The author of 11 books, Kevin’s grasp of seventeenth-century history, cultural and social practice, print and visual culture was unmatched. He was equally at home in departments of History (notably Southampton where he spent the substantial early part of his career) and English (at Warwick and then at Queen Mary). Generous of his time, he was a large presence in the tea rooms and nearby bars of major research libraries around the globe combining advice on research topics, suggestions for career advancement and demands for the latest gossip while disseminating stories from his own ample storehouse. At conferences and papers, Kevin could always be counted on to ask apparently innocuous but ultimately incisive questions and he took particular delight in flaying the pompous. During its early years, Kevin regularly attended the London Renaissance Seminar and he has given numerous papers at it. It is difficult to think we will not again encounter his irreverent humour, his zest over all things academic, and his intrinsic good nature. Kevin seemed to have successfully fought off cancer a couple of years ago, his vigour for life and for work undiminished. Alas, it was not to be; the cancer returned aggressively and fatally this autumn. I cannot but feel he would have appreciated an end amidst the cacophony of bonfire night, a date so significant for the era he helped us to better understand.

RALEIGH LECTURE ON HISTORY How Confessional Divisions influenced Writing on the Natural History of the Atlantic World Professor Nicholas Canny FBA Tuesday 22 November 2011, 6.00pm - 7.15pm The British Academy, 10-11 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AH This lecture explores the way the natural history of the Americas was exported to 16th century northern European scientists and how they reacted intellectually and politically. It discusses the generally positive reception in northern European countries of José de Acosta’s Historia natural y moral de las Indias which seems to have been accepted both as a template of how natural history should be written and as a challenge to northern European scientists to emulate what he Spanish Jesuit author had accomplished. While this might be accepted as a tacit acknowledgement by northern Europeans that Catholic Spain had achieved intellectual as well as political ascendancy over their respective nations, Protestant authors responded to the hallenge in a highly competitive fashion which aimed as much at undermining the credibility of those they identified as their Catholic opponents as on unveiling the secrets of natural history. The lecture will look at the merits and demerits of Thomas Harriott, André Thevet and Jean de éry as scientific reporters and at the inter-relationship between the religious position they adopted and their approaches to the study of natural history. It will argue that Jean de Léry’s, Histoire d’un voyage(1578) can be considered as much a Calvinist polemic and a logical extension of the same author’sHistoire memorable de la ville de Sancerre (1574), as the landmark contribution to scientific writing it is usually represented as. It will contend that the enominalization of scientific reportage was consolidated by America by Theodore de Bry in 1591 and was not neutralized until Hans Sloane began to publish at the outset of the eighteenth century. Nicholas Canny is a Member of the Scientific Council of the European Research Council. He was Director of the Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities at the National University of Ireland, Galway, 2000-11 where he was Professor of History 1979-2009.

We can deepen our understanding of these ways of thinking and speaking through a focus on material processes - both contemporary and historical. Despite the recent turn to materiality in literary and historical studies there have been few attempts within these disciplines to engage with material practices – to learn to think with things as well as with language. This session will bring together different perspectives on material and materiality. A panel of speakers from a wide range of backgrounds will present their practices of making and repair, and their approaches to things that are broken, damaged or incomplete. Session Outline: 'Historic clock-making practices', Matthew Read (West Dean College) 'Repair revolution - the story of Sugru', Jane ni Dhulchaointigh (Inventor of Sugru) 'Alchemy and incompleteness: practically making the philosophers' stone', Jennifer Rampling (University of Cambridge) Closing Remarks – Florence Grant (History, KCL) and Chloe Porter (English, KCL) Open discussion and tea.

__label__wiki	0.653467	0.653467	Library Alehouse Beyond the Beer December 2, 2013 By Kim Calvert A beer lover’s favorite, this Santa Monica restaurant/bar on Main Street is pleasing palates with an improved menu while upholding its diverse beverage list. Singular chef/owner Tom Hugenberger (left) and general manager and resident beer expert Alex P. Davis are taking Library Alehouse on Main Street in Santa Monica to a whole new level. Idyllic Main Street in Santa Monica, with its boutiques, eateries and festooned lights, stands out from the cookie-cutter stores and restaurants found in most shopping areas. Main Street is all about unique, eclectic, old-school charm, as found at Library Alehouse, a Southern California favorite since 1995 known for its extensive list of craft beers and laid-back, friendly atmosphere. Like most afternoons, the bar at Library Alehouse is filling up fast, mostly with men talking about beer, a favorite subject, while a handlebar mustachioed bartender offers tastes of the latest craft beers listed on the blackboard. As the amber liquid flows and the sun goes down, the volume of the chatter picks up. The boys are relaxing, talking about who made what, where it came from, who has tried it. Library Alehouse is about discovering new beers — Dupont Avec Les Bons Voeux, Smog City Smoked Smaug Lager, Firestone Velvet Merlin — to name just a few. It’s not the place to come for a Bud Light. Beer fans line up at the bar to try the latest beers on the ever-rotating list curated by Alex P. Davis, the Certified Cicerone at Library Alehouse. “Some patrons call it the Library ‘Male’ House,” jokes general manager and resident beer expert Alex P. Davis, when I ask if it’s true that beer is a man’s drink, “but it’s starting to swing the other way.” It might be, but from a single woman’s point of view, drinking a beer here, rather than sipping wine elsewhere with a flock of girlfriends, is beginning to look like a fine idea. Davis is the Library Alehouse’s Certified Cicerone, what a sommelier is to wine. He says that beer chose him, he didn’t choose it. “It was like, eureka!” he says about the night he was out with friends and they tried a bottle of Westmalle Tripel, a Belgian beer made by Trappist monks. “From that point on, it was down the rabbit hole.” Although he finished law school at UCLA and passed the bar, nowadays 30-year-old Davis gets paid to develop a diverse list of craft beers for the aficionados at Library Alehouse, a job he’s enjoyed since 2010. “I love being around people and being able to deliver an experience for our customers – and I get paid to drink beer.” It’s actually a bit more complicated than that. Davis has learned everything he can about beer, taking notes about flavor nuances, making connections with boutique breweries and getting his certification as a Cicerone, an accreditation that includes knowledge of beer style, beer history and how to properly serve, store, choose and select beers. Together with 45-year-old chef/owner Tom Hugenberger, who purchased Library Alehouse in May 2012, the two are working to integrate the eclectic beer list with Hugenberger’s elevated level of food preparation. Taking over an 18-year-old establishment with a devout following presented some unique challenges for the half-Dutch, Korean-born Hugenberger, who graduated from the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco and was a popular chef instructor at The Art Institute of Los Angeles. “There were people who literally came up to me, angry, and they’d go, ‘You better not change anything. This is our spot.’ My ongoing joke with some of the clientele was that I was going to make it a drive-thru Chinese restaurant. They’d tell me, ‘You can’t do that!’ and I’d say, ‘It’s a joke! Where would I put a drive-thru?’” Step into the beer library at Library Alehouse. Despite the clientele’s resistance to change, Hugenberger was determined to upgrade the quality of the cuisine. He started by using local ingredients, organic when possible, often purchased at farmers’ markets and employing a caliber of preparation usually only found in higher-priced restaurants. “We don’t use powders – we don’t do any of that kind of thing,” says Hugenberger, who’s known for his expertise in layering textures and flavors. “Everything’s made fresh. I’m trying to bring my fine dining experience to a bar/restaurant.” Hugenberger gradually introduced new menu items to the bar regulars. “We did that for about a month,” Hugenberger says, “just teasing them with new things and new flavors. And after a while, they were asking, ‘What are you going to make new this week?’” The menu that customers find at Library Alehouse today is a huge step up from a typical bar restaurant, with a mouthwatering list of burgers, appetizers, soups and salads alongside entries sure to please the most demanding gourmand. How about beer-brined chicken, spice-rubbed, roasted and served with seasonal vegetables and dried fruit chutney; pan-seared Skuna salmon served with artichoke barigoule and spinach; or roasted beets with Maggie’s Farm arugula, Fuji apple, goat cheese, cherry-walnut crumble, crispy beet chips and Banyuls ginger vinaigrette? Hugenberger, more accustomed to using wine in his recipes, says Davis opened his eyes to the possibilities of pairing beer with food and using it as an ingredient. “I think from day one we were a good match because he’s a foodie, as well,” he says. “He’s taught me a lot about beer, he understands flavors and nuances. We can talk out a recipe or put together a pairing and come up with something that’s amazing because we’ve got two heads working on the same thing.” Davis says he also enjoys his collaboration with Hugenberger. “We’re delivering an experience that people might not have otherwise thought possible through both beer and food,” he says. “Having Tom in the kitchen helps me with that because the food is so much better now. It’s not just, ‘Oh, the beer is amazing and the food’s pretty good.’ Now it’s ‘the beer is amazing and the food is amazing, and they taste really great together.’” By now the sun has finally set and the bar and tables at Library Alehouse are full. The scent of caramelizing onions drifts through the bar, and suddenly, the idea of something to eat from Hugenberger’s menu, paired with an ice-cold beer, is an irresistible idea. Tonight, maybe the Hell Burger with USDA prime chuck, ghost pepper aioli, pasilla, habanero, jalapeno, grapefruit and pepper jack on a brioche bun. As for the beer? Just ask Davis, he’ll be delighted to help find the perfect match. Copyright © Kim Calvert/2013 Singular Communications, LLC.

Microsoft Virtual Server does not have the array of added value tools and utilities that Adiantku 12 months ago 6 min read Manage Learn to apply best practices and optimize your operations. Microsoft Virtual Server does not have the array of added value tools and utilities that VMWare has so cleverly identified and created. It is, surprisingly, a Linux kernel. It cannot be installed directly on the metal. Couple that with the fact that it must be hosted by a version of Windows server, and you can see that it does have some serious shortcomings. This Technology can see inside everyone’s mind and can communicate with them too, but is really used to TERRORIZE victims because it exposes people’s private information. This is a violation of human rights. They also say they can erase something out of someone’s memory. This is dangerous Technology in the hands of wicked people. Technology has its side effects – we have to agree – but then if we reverse the entire condition and look at the flipside then its not just the students who are getting benefited by Google, Bing etc but teachers too can update their knowledge and skills with aid from internet. Integrating technology and education is a difficult task – that is if the inventor truly wants to scale-up education practices through proper use of technology then he has to come out of the regular and think out of box. One has to seek and culminate areas as multimedia, technology and aesthetics. Only this culmination can make learning engaging and hence effective. One such approach has been designed by a visionary, hailing from India – J S Sarkar, an IIT passout who through his unique OmniDEL learning modules has set out to transform the educational system of India. Big data is the buzz word of the day. This is the analysis of huge amounts of data, and is incredibly powerful This power, however, is not in the hands of ordinary people, as it requires substantial resources to collect and analyse. Big data enables those who have these resources to analyse us and predict our behaviour to a terrifying degree. It allows police to predict where crimes will occur, and advertisers to know what we want before we do. The ClearEdge small-scale fuel cell home energy system, which provides both 5 kilowatts of electricity and 750 gallons of hot water per day, is approximately the size of a refrigerator. It can be placed in an existing furnace room, garage, or in some cases outdoors. It can be connected to the electrical grid or run independent of the grid for those who want to produce their own electricity and live off the grid. For installations that are connected to the electrical grid, the ClearEdge home fuel cell can be programmed to send electricity to select electrical circuits if grid electric power is lost, so that fuel cell produced electricity is sent to a home’s critical appliances during a grid power outage. Electrical Engineers are in huge demand in India; you can look forward to working in both private & public sectors like railways, civil aviation, electricity boards, utility companies, electrical design, consultancy firms and different kinds of manufacturing industries. The salary range would depend on the industry, location and your qualification & skills sets; however, electrical engineers can earn stating average salary of about INR 430,000 per annum which gets hiked as you gain more experience in this field. However, some people prefer the taste of soft water and feel it’s easier on their skin. Soft water also lathers up more easily. And finally, the buildup of limescale (calcium carbonate) deposits left behind by hard water can make the heating element inside a tea or coffee kettle less efficient and, in a worst-case scenario, can even block pipes. I posted links to many of my articles in this group because I was naÃ¯ve enough to want to think it was really about discovering the truth. This lead me to being invited to become a member of another Corey Goode propaganda group known as Full Disclosure Now (FDN). As a founding member of this group, I was asked to become part of the inner circle and be an administrator, with the idea of creating a Facebook group dedicated too disclosing information and knowledge that would lead too a Full Disclosure type scenario. As a writer and professional graphic artist, my skills were valued and I offered them free of charge, thinking that giving my time and skills freely, could lead to a movement that would benefit all of humanity. There is currently an ongoing debate as to which OS is better – Windows or Linux. While neither can win hands down, both have their attributes. But Windows being more user-friendly of the two, it has a definite point over Linux. Windows has evolved drastically since the first MS Windows version 1.0 in 1985. The latest being Windows Vista and Windows 7. Statistics have shown that the two have a large number of takers. Solar panels, the technology has come down in price, but how many have installed solar tagged to an incentive or subsidised scheme? I think perhaps the biggest help to solar power and other renewable energy will be rising fuel and energy prices to the point where it’s an increasingly viable option. Solar cells convert light from the sun to electric energy. They use single-crystal doped silicon to reduce internal resistance and metal contacts to convert over 14% of the solar energy that strikes their surfaces to electrical output voltage. Cheaper, polycrystalline silicon sheets and other lenses are being developed to reduce the cost and improve the effectiveness of solar cells. Microprocessors have replaced combinations of switching and timing circuits. They are programmed to perform sets of tasks and a wider variety of logic functions. Electronic games and digital watches are examples of microprocessor systems. Digital methods have revolutionized music, library storage, medical electronics, and television, among thousands of other tools that influence our lives daily. Future developments in computer architecture are directed toward greater speed and more memory capacity. In most forms of electronics, increased miniaturization permits increased complexity at fixed or decreasing cost. This trend, driven by strong market forces, is sure to continue for many years to come. The problem? Sedentary time is increasing because of things like our increased accessibility to mobile devices and the promotion of binge-watching, says Dr. Miranda-Comas. But the biggest reason people don’t move more is lack of time. “People simply don’t have time due to work or family responsibilities,” he says. Then suddenly, someone, somewhere realised the potential of electricity. Technology started advancing, but this was still at a normal rate of speed. Telephones became the normal household thing to have, radio’s and telegraph astounded us by being able to send signals around the World. A clear look on the usefulness of machines is witnessed in the field of education. In mechanical engineering, there is a course called engineering drawing. In some universities, all the students from the faculty of engineering must pass through this before going further to other levels. When the course was initially introduced, students use their drawing boards and paper during drawing of machine parts which is what the course is all about. But, with the advancement in technology, computers are produced. These computers are used to make the drawings more easily unlike the stress the students passed when they were making use of boards and papers. As a coastal city with two rivers streaming through, no others are more appropriate than hydropower. A large population in a cold environment would mean a massive requirement of electricity, either for high-rises or heat. Just like other megacities, battery-operated cars and charging stations are ubiquitous. That would boost the demand for electricity more than ever in history. With the city facing such need, hydropower is the only source to suffice. Cheap for residents, it is both efficient and economical when used widely. Also, building dams may regulate water flow and create a more pacific river, giving those that live on banks a safer condition. Unlike natural gas, which emits harmful gases and can diminish the Earth from natural compounds, hydropower is clean, renewable, and gentle to the environment. While geothermal energy is less efficient, more expensive, and grounded dead, hydro-plants can generate a tremendous supply of electricity that can expand extensively, powering all electronic mechanisms in a broad domain. All in all, Portland is made to use hydroelectricity-it has natural reservoirs, colossal space, and a large population that depends on electricity.

With features from Ab-Soul and Royce da 5’9″ with production from Araabmuzik and Cardiak among others, it’s likely to be a great taste of what’s to come on his solo debut next January.

Somehow, it's hard to believe that exactly 50 years ago Commander Neil Armstrong and his crewmates Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins were maneuvering their spacecraft into Lunar orbit prior to that historic lunar landing two days later on 20 July 1969, and Neil Armstrong's now famous "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" when he stepped onto the lunar surface six hours after Buzz Aldrin. The only problem was that those present vividly recalled the momentous occasion! While most cars parked at Brooklands were 'moderns', older cars in the paddock included a Daimler SP250 and a Triumph 2000, both clearly well-used and enjoyed. Cars brought along by SVVS and JEC members straddled the moon landing technological milestone. All but one SVVS car was from before 1969: in chronological order, Mike Gorman's 1934 Morris 10 with passengers Simon Bishop and Alister Reid, Fraser and Linda's 1936 Rolls 20/25, John Morgan's 1948 MG TC, John Auber's '53 Bentley R-type, and Malcolm Bailey's 1975 Opel Manta. Pre-1969 Jaguars present ranged from an XK 120, through XK 140 and 150, Mk II and S-Type. A number of XK E-types, from Ser. 1 to Ser.3 V12s, straddled the 1969 divide, while XJS, XK8, and later model S, XJ and XK models represented the younger models. Lyons-era XJs were notably absent. In all, a most convivial summer evening.

For having deliberately leaked false information, enabling the current yellow PCSO chief to damage the bishops and evidently through the hiring of an expensive “crisis” Public Relations practioner and his firm, Noynoy, through his Palace mouthpieces, dismissed calls for Margie Juico, chairman of the PCSO, who falls under the category of Kaibigan and Kaalyado of the now infamous KKK, to apologize and to resign for the character assassination on the bishops and the church they committed..... MORE From bad to worse FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 07/16/2011 Never has the nation had such a divisive and quarrelsome president as it has today in Noynoy Aquino, which bodes ill for both the polity and the country. While it is true that the nation has experienced divisiveness owing to, of all things, political inclinations, it was hardly in the same degree of divisiveness as it is being experienced today, with all credit for this naturally going to Noynoy, who can never hope to ever unite the people behind him under his presidency. His mother, Cory, who was propelled to power and position through the Edsa Revolt route, was a divisive president, only less so, when compared to her son. Their similarities rest on the fact that both are expending all their focus and efforts to destroy their predecessors, with Cory ending up not being able to achieve much, by way of governance and even in ushering prosperity and improvement in the lives of the Filipino people. and more importantly, bringing unity and peace to the nation. Under the Ramos regime, it can be said that in the matter of divisiveness, there was little, or at least not felt as much as his focus was hardly on bringing Cory Aquino’s political foes to jail, unlike his predecessor Cory. Yet he was not unlike Marcos in his desire to extend his time in the presidency, through his “Pirma” people’s initiative to amend the Charter and of course to destroy the electoral chances of his successor.....

At least, with this $300 million long overdue undertaking they will have one Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project to bandy around as they prepare for the second round of roadshows meant to cajole investors to invest in the “big-ticket” projects, mainly infrastructure, works designed to catapult the country to the top tier members of Asean such as Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and, of course, Singapore whose basic infra networks and services, i.e., roads, bridges, airports, ports, telecoms and even power, are considered world-class and, yes, affordable. It was not meant to be this way. After the “golden years of infrastructure works” as the Marcos years have come to be known, succeeding administrations wanted to sustain the momentum using the old ODA route. Alas, the Asian financial crisis set in and development funding for such big-ticket items almost dried up. So, the stage was set for the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) Law which was the original framework for various funding schemes such as this administration’s PPP.

Quoting reports from Ambala, Ramos said “more than 200 Hacienda Luisita farm workers, including village officials, joined the ‘Bungkalan’ (cultivation) campaign.” “Farm workers have already slashed the tall grass on the RCBC area and registered their strongest opposition to the Supreme Court (SC) order,” he stressed, adding that placards were installed in the area bearing the slogans: “Junk the referendum!

__label__cc	0.623829	0.376171	Book Review: Tales of Terror from the Black Ship by Chris Priestley Title: Tales of Terror from the Black Ship Author: Chris Priestley; Illustrated by Dave Roberts Genre: Horror, Short Stories, Middle Grade Publisher: Bloomsbury Childrens USA When Ethan and Cathy fall ill during a storm, their father must leave them to fetch the doctor. . .but they are not alone for long. A sailor comes begging for shelter. So, the children agree to let him sit out the throes of the storm as they listen to his grisly tales. But something about the man puts Ethan on edge, and he is anxious for the storm to blow over, their father to return and the long night to come to an end. Storms whistling through the sails, evil pirates pacing the floorboards, and of course, a haunted ship of ghostly beings… All this and more is waiting to give you goose bumps in an atmospheric and thrilling collection of spooky seafaring tales. Stand alone or series: Second of three short story collections (The Tales of Terror series) How did I get this book: Bought Format (e- or p-): Ebook In a creaky inn set atop a windswept cliff overlooking a churning sea, there lives a sad family. A father, driven to madness by the death of his wife and by his fondness for drink, watches over his two children – an older boy named Ethan, and a younger girl named Cathy. One evening, a great storm seizes The Old Inn, and both Ethan and Cathy are struck down with a terrible illness. Their father, shaken out of his drunken stupor, braves the gale to fetch help for his children, but tells them both that they must stay put and not open the door to any strangers. As soon as their father leaves, however, a young sailor named Jonah Thackeray comes knocking – seeking refuge from the storm outside. The children, feeling better from their mysterious illnesses, let the wary traveler in. All that stormy night, while the squall blows itself out, Thackeray repays the children for their kindness by telling them stories – chilling, macabre stories of monsters, ghouls and death on the high seas. For last year’s Halloween Week, I read and instantly fell in love with Chris Priestley’s original book in this series, Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror. And, like Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror, Tales of Terror from the Black Ship is told in a similar horror anthology format, albeit with completely different characters and a narrative focus on the sea. There’s something wondrous about the tradition of horror stories told in anthology format, tied together by a single larger arc. From EC comics and television/movie traditions like Tales from the Crypt to Cryptshow, I’m a huge fan of this narrative technique. Then, add to this the extra-creepy factor of gearing such macabre tales towards a middle grade audience! It’s somehow scarier, more effective, to read these stories intended for young children – less blood, perhaps, but more offhanded cruelty and true terror. At least, that’s how I’ve always felt about scary stories for the middle grade audience (see Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, The House with a Clock in Its Walls, Coraline, anything written by Roald Dahl, etc). Tales of Terror from the Black Ship is no exception; suffice it to say, I enjoyed this collection from Chris Priestley very much indeed. A few standouts: “Nature” – in which an unlucky ship sails into a bloom of carnivorous, flesh-eating snails. It does not end well for any involved. “The Boy in the Boat” – in which a young boy with a golden smile and melodious laugh is found at sea, and his disposition infects the entire crew. “The Black Ship” – the eponymous tale, in which it is revealed how a black ship is called by her new crew members… “Wolfsbane” – in which we finally learn the truth of The Old Inn, and the family that lives there. Each of the tales is on-theme with the overarching sea-faring setting, which is both a good and bad thing. Good, because it does tie the collection together in a uniform and satisfying way (perhaps better so than its predecessor, Uncle Montague, did); bad, because the stories are limited by the time period (nebulous 1800s-ish) and a markedly male-centric focus and tone. There’s less flexibility for stories about djinn or enchanted picture frames or cliques gone wrong in this volume of terror – there’s also a level of repetition to the stories, as they all feature similar characters and take place aboard similar ships. (There’s a reason for this, but it’s still a limiting setup.) Still, at the end of the storm, Tales of Terror from the Black Ship is an effective, chilling collection of stories – perfect for horror fans of all ages. If you haven’t tried Chris Priestley’s horror collections yet, I highly recommend giving them a shot. Notable Quotes/Parts: As with last year, I highly recommend you check out the UK Website for the book to get a taste for the deliciously creepy illustrations from Dave Roberts, as well as for more information about the book.

__label__cc	0.670533	0.329467	Book to Movie Movie Reivews Smugglers’ Ponderings: Jurassic Park & Jurassic World “I’ll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you’re using here. It didn’t require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn’t earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don’t take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you’re selling it, you wanna sell it.” – Dr. Ian Malcolm (and a portentous statement about the park that eventually becomes Jurassic World) One week ago today, Ana and I had the pleasure of live tweeting and re-watching Jurassic Park, as the second movie on our Old School Wednesdays Summer Movie Watchalong. (It was really fun; you can check out the full chat over on our Twitter feed!) This week, I also decided to bite the bullet and watch Jurassic World – which broke ALL the records in its opening weekend, making it the highest grossing opening weekend of all time. My experience with the latter is… complicated. A Bit of Background Like many movie-goers of my generation, I was an enormous fan of Jurassic Park. The first time I watched the movie in the theater, I was in the fourth grade and I vividly remember every part of the experience. I was living in Jakarta, Indonesia at the time, and after much cajoling, my mother took me to the cinema, to wait in a very, very long line to watch the movie. I remember being wonderstruck and terrified of the dinosaurs; I quaked in fear and glee when the Tyrannosaurus Rex stomped and chomped and roared its way into life. I remember the cold sweaty terror when the Velociraptors were unleashed and learned to open doors. (Fun fact: the first time I watched the movie, there was a brownout at the theater – JUST after the first raptor does that terrifying nostril-breath-squeal outside the kitchen door on the glass. SHUDDERS) Like so many other children who grew up with this movie, I love Jurassic Park. Let me say that once again, with feeling: I love Jurassic Park. It was a formative movie of my youth, and a film I have owned at least four copies of over the years. It is a film that I know by heart, and one that I rewatch frequently (at least a handful of times every year – it is my go-to home sick from work or school staple). Given all of this background information…well, suffice it to say, I had extremely high expectations for Jurassic World. However, my expectations and hopes for the film diminished with each new teaser and trailer. Tame velociraptors? Crappy cheesetastic dialogue? Cheapo one-liners at the expense of the film’s sole female character? WHY!?! To be fair, my expectations were somewhat tempered by the fact that I’ve been burned by JP sequels before. The Lost World – which I read first, then watched – was a fraction of the awesome of Jurassic Park. I actually quite enjoyed JP3, while embracing the fact that it is kind of a B-movie so far as the full franchise goes, but it doesn’t pretend or attempt to be grander than it is. (Plus, Dr. Alan Grant! Ellie Sattler saving the day once again! More raptors! Pterosaurs!) SO, it was with trepidation that I entered the cinema, dug into some red vines, and nestled in to watch Jurassic World. Jurassic World: Gut Reactions My gut reaction in one sentence: “That wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.” Followed shortly by, “Actually, that was pretty fun.” Jurassic World opens twenty-two years following the disastrous events of Jurassic Park. Now a fully operational wonder of a theme park, Jurassic World is a state of the art, super souped-up version of Universal Studios Hammond’s dream of Jurassic Park. But, over its decade of operation and financial success, like any other theme park JW has to figure out how to stay relevant and maintain its position as the premier theme park experience – and don’t ya know it, kids these days yawn when they see a stegosaurus or even a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Jurassic World needs to innovate and provide the most terrifying attraction anyone has ever seen – and in order to do that, an entirely new, genetically engineered dinosaur is cooked up in a laboratory. Holy Indominus Rex, Batman! The Indominus Rex is fiercer than a T-Rex, more cunning than a raptor, and about a billion times smarter than your average dinosaur. Concocted by Dr. Henry Wu (remember him?) in JW labs, the Indominus Rex represents a brave new world for genetically engineered theme park monsters (to borrow a phrase from Dr. Grant in JP3). The base genome for the beast is a tyrannosaur, but the rest? Well, that’s classified. (But if you take a few guesses, you’ll figure it out.) Here’s a little bit where expectation – and shitty movie trailers – diverges somewhat with reality. After watching several trailers, seeing the various merchandise and movie stills for the film, I was eye-rolling hardcore at the need for an Indominus Rex. The T-Rex is PLENTY scary. So are velociraptors! So are any number of actual carnivorous dinosaurs from 65 million years ago! The media line of “well, audiences watch megaton robots beat up other monsters without batting an eye so they had to do something” was incredibly frustrating… so I wasn’t actually excited about this new super-dino. BUT. Indominus Rex? It’s actually pretty badass. She kills for the hell of it after messing with her victims and concocting a brilliant escape from her holding cell. Granted, she will never be the iconic terror that was the T-Rex tremor impact/roar in the rain hunter – but so far as villains go, Indominus is the cleverest of girls. Visually, the other dinosaurs are fantastic as well – from the Mosasaurus, to the Ankylosaurs (my personal favorites), to the Pterosaurs, to the old standbys and stars from the first film. (Including an awesome cameo from Dilophosaurus-as-hologram, playing a vital role in the movie’s final showdown.) Which brings me to the biggest expectation-problem, and the most surprising moment of JW… You’re My Girl, Blue! While I’ve always maintained that the T-Rex is the scariest animal in Jurassic Park, and that first scene in the automated vehicles outside her paddock is the most terrifying – and awe-inspiring – part of the film, anything to do with Velociraptors is a very close second. (Arguably, Raptors are the much cooler and infinitely more afeared predators in the JP universe.) Imagine my shock/horror/disgust, then, when the trailers, posters, and every indicator seemed to imply that Chris Pratt was a Raptor Whisperer who frequently takes his girls out on moonlit jaunts in the rainforest while he accompanies them on his motorcycle. Dialogue like “See it’s all about control with you. I don’t control the raptors, it’s a relationship. It’s based on mutual respect.” doesn’t help. BUT, once again, I was thrilled to be wrong about the raptors in the film. The marketing effort to make raptors look domesticated was largely just bad marketing – the relationship between handler and predator is much more intricate than the trailers make it out to be, and I appreciate the tension between Pratt’s Owen and his raptor pack very, very much. The worst part is, the film actually builds up to the badass hunt scene with the raptors running out in the wild for the first time accompanied by their “alpha” and it actually is dramatic and badass – not the cheesefest I was expecting. Also: BLUE! You’re the best raptor. And you remind me a little of my cat. I digress. Jurassic World: The Theme Park of My Dreams Another thing that Jurassic World has going for it is the utter awesomeness of this theme park. At first glance, it clearly replicates Universal Studios (but with infinitely cooler attractions). The setup of the park, the walkways into the park, the Samsung and Verizon sponsored exhibit halls, even the escalator looking thing that takes visitors up from the dock onto the trams screams Universal Hollywood. And even though experience has taught us time and time again that you can’t have dangerous predatory dinosaurs in a theme park because life will always find a goddamn way, I still desperately wish that Jurassic World was a real place. I want to ride the gentle giants in the petting zoo! I want to sit in wonder as the huge mosasaurus eats a great white shark and splashes the audience and then the seats recline into the holding tank! I want to drive a gyroscope in the plains amongst brachiasaurs and galamimuses, I long to kayak on the rivers while stegasaurs graze and roam. Are you freaking kidding me?! This is like, the coolest theme park in the universe. As the younger brother runs around spouting dinosaur factoids, with his enthusiasm and emotions bubbling to the surface, I, too, got caught up in the wonder of this place (to quote Ellie Sattler). I would pay so much money to visit Isla Nublar; I would gladly wait in lines for hours in order to enjoy the wonder of these dinosaurs. In other words: on the theme park front, Jurassic World comes the closest to the awe and spectacle of Jurassic Park. But Then… the Not-So-Great Stuff Of course, there are many, many problems with Jurassic World, as well. There’s the problem that the plot is actually, utterly ridiculous – would any really, really want to breed raptors as ultimate killing weapons? C’mon, Vince D’onofrio, you know better than that. The painfully stereotypical villainy of InGen, of Dr. Henry Wu (!), of Hoskins (HE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A FIRST NAME) comprise probably the most simplistic, irrational, and ridiculous antagonists I’ve seen in any film in a very long time. There’s the aforementioned cheesetastic dialogue – including pseudo-Spielbergian heart-to-heart scenes between two brothers talking about being brothers, especially pained because of their parents’ divorce, and so on. Perhaps the most infuriating thing about Jurassic World – related to my next and last point, the glaring asshatery of the treatment of female characters – is the fact that the movie has moments of pure brilliance, followed closely by moments of incredible facepalming badness. I believe the word is “overkill.” JW does a lot of that. On Claire, Audience Expectation, and Treatment of Female Characters One of the things I loved the most about Jurassic Park, watching it for the first time as a nine-year-old girl in the theater with my mother, is the fact that the movie is largely action-based and gender neutral. When certain characters make assumptions about Dr. Ellie Sattler, like Hammond telling her he’s a man so he should be going to reboot the system instead of Ellie since she’s a woman, she rolls her eyes and tells him that they will discuss sexism in survival scenarios when she gets back. Ellie is a respected scientist and an expert in her field – she’s also athletic and fearless and is respected by the other adults in the same situation. Then consider the children pair in the film – the marketable audience for merchandise like toys and tie-in games – which comprise a brother AND a sister. Older sister Lex might not be into dinosaurs and she might make a few terrible decisions (WHY would you turn a flashlight on when a T-Rex is free and looking at you for dinner?!), she also saves the day by booting up the door locks in the Visitor Center with her UNIX knowhow. Now, compare that to Jurassic World – a film where the child pair is now two boys, one of whom has a “hahaha OMG stupid crazy obsessed teenage girl!” girlfriend who is exploited for cheap laughs, meanwhile her boyfriend is off literally drooling over every teenage girl he sees. Teenage girlfriend thing aside, what’s so frustrating about making the children both boys is that it sends a subtle gendered statement about the movie and its perceived marketable audience – little boys are the target here, and forget about the girls. (This is to say nothing of the fact that one of the previews before JW started was for “Chomping Jaws and Raptor Claws” – note the all-dude tv spot.) And then there is Claire Dearing. Claire Dearing is fucking awesome. She is a layered, developed character who is infinitely deeper than any other character in the film. But the way she is treated by her coworkers, her family, and the story narrative? Well that’s where the WHAT THE FUCKS start coming in. A lot have people have written about this far more eloquently and thoroughly than I, so I recommend that you check them out. But, in a nutshell, my problems with the treatment of female characters – particularly Claire – are thus: Claire is really goddamn good at her job, and she’s shamed for that in several different ways by several different people. The first instance is when she’s working on securing a really big fucking sponsor for the park’s newest attraction – and she’s late to pick up her nephews, so sends her assistant instead. She gets chewed out by her sister for not being a good aunt and for working too much, and one day when she has a child of her own she’ll understand. It gives Claire’s boss, CEO Masrani (reprising his role as Pi Patel, apparently), a chance to tell Claire that she needs to loosen up and he doesn’t want to hear about those boring ol’ numbers he wants to know about connecting with the animals’ souls and seeing the happiness in their eyes. It also gives macho brawny Owen Grady, raptor trainer and force of nature she went on one date with, the opportunity to tell her that she’s all about control and too organized and uptight. Because bossy executive lady with her white skirt suit, three inch heels, and crisis-time competence is just a frigid ice queen that needs to knock back some tequila and muss up that perfectly angled bob to live a little. Claire actually saves Owen from death-by-pterosaur, and then what? One of my favorite moments of the movie is when Claire saves Owen from being munched on by a pissed off pterosaur by smacking it off his back and then shooting it a few times. Of course, in the next few minutes, Claire, Owen and her two nephews are in a car escaping the mob, and the nephews cry “we want to stay with you!” And when Claire tells them she will never leave them again, the boys scream “WE MEANT HIM!” Cue audience laughter, thank you very much. I mean, the boys know that Owen can drive backwards – never mind the fact that they just saw their aunt save his life. The Fucking High Heels. Much has been said about Claire and her wardrobe – and how she full-on sprints through the rainforest, on concrete, all over the place without once taking off those heels! Owen tells her they are ridiculous and does that thing that guys do when they look at your choice of footwear. He also does it to her white skirt and suit, but you know what? FUCK OFF, OWEN. Claire is the kind of woman who likes wearing heels, who looks good in them, and clearly can run in them. I am also a woman who likes wearing heels and skirts, and even though I probably would have taken off the goddamn heels when running from dinosaurs and picked out any other pair of footwear, I’m kind of happy that she wears the shoes the entire time – it’s like a subtle fuck-you to a lot of the sexism and shittiness towards women in this movie. And you know what? At the end of the goddamn day, Claire is the one with the brilliant ideas. She plans and doesn’t just react chaotically to the situation. Her organization and preparedness and need for control are actually assets in Jurassic World – and she marches right up to that T-Rex paddock, lights a fucking flare, and runs out to even the odds against Indominus Rex. YOU FUCKING GO, CLAIRE. Ultimately? Despite the fact that this is a very flawed movie, despite the fact that it is largely sexist and frustrating and nonsensical on many levels… I still very, very much enjoyed Jurassic World. I might not have the burning fervor that nine-year-old Thea had (you can ask my mom and dad; I begged to go back to the theater and rewatched my VHS of the film HUNDREDS of times)… but I would gladly go back and watch the film again in the theater. And I recommend you do the same. And then come back here, so we can talk about it. Movie ReviewMoviesOld School Wednesdays WatchalongScience FictionslideSummer Movie Series 2015 From the Page to the Screen: Hopes for the Divergent Movie From the Page to the Screen: The Mist Halloween Week – Vampires: From the Page to the Screen: ‘Salem’s Lot Great analysis of JW. I agree that it was a lot of fun, if troubling in a number of ways. I especially appreciate your assessment of the treatment of Claire. This is the first anaylsis of the movie that I could actually get behind. I’ve felt burned by many of the people I look to for thoughtful reviewing of pop culture who simply said “Jurassic World is sexist! Claire is such a cardboard character!” Excuse me, no, she saves lives CONSTANTLY and she does it in heels! I would be willing to venture that some of the attitude towards her from others (her boss, for instance) might have been the same whether she was male or female- I felt the derisiveness was for her buttoned-up, number-crunching demeanor, as opposed to her female characteristics. There’s really no excusing the comments about “when you have kids,” or her nephews wanting to stay with Chris Pratt based on his Chris Prattiness. Basically, I really loved your gut level reactions. I enjoyed the movie, felt tension at all the right places, and loved being surprised by the plot twists. Also, Jake Johnson’s character kind of made my day. I had a lot of fun watching this movie. I did wish for a brother sister combo and at least another female character besides Bryce Dallas Howard, which there was, but maybe one who doesn’t get um, eaten. Violently. Really violently…. My radar on female representation is always on, but to be honest, I’m old enough that I’ve weathered a lot of action movies where there are none. I almost expect it, which is sad. Maybe that’s why Mad Max was such a wonder. So many women with their own story and still a million blow ups and insane action that did not suffer for the plot. Go figure–it can exist! I still <3 Jurassic Park but I'm with you that next installment we get some more women scientists, kids, park rangers–whatever. Just more ladies who maybe don't have to wear heels or get munched by a dinosaur. Okay, they can get munched. Just let them be somebody first. Mclesh Meh. Couldn’t hold a candle to the original. I appreciated the lead characters in JP so much more. The villains in JW were ridiculous. And so many plot holes! The jeeps from JP being drivable 23 years later! (Amazing magic gasoline that didn’t separate and turn into jelly at all!) Chris Pratt’s accent kept changing throughout the movie. And how did his motorcycle that he was working on magically appear later? Didn’t appreciate the jaded teen boy. (I had many of the same thoughts about his preoccupation with the girls. Unlikable!) I think I’ll re-watch the original. 😀 I am totally with you regarding the T. Rex in Jurassic Park being the most awesome and terrifying part of that movie! I haven’t re-watched as often as you have but that scene will always be indelibly seared in my brain. I look forward to JW for the sheer spectacle but its good to have a heads up about its weaknesses. I actually thought the treatment of Claire was brilliant. That is the world we live in, and that’s how we’re treated–no matter our accomplishments–and she goes out and saves the damn day anyway, with or without your appreciation, thank you very much. So I agreed with your assessment of the movie up until a lot of the points about the treatment of Claire. For one thing, the shaming of her job was ignorant as hell, yes. However, Owen was right in the fact that she’s too in control, too organised, and too focused. It’s actually a known idea in any business or life setting that being too focused on something is actually not good. It gives you tunnel vision and tends to make you miss things that you wouldn’t have missed if you weren’t so narrowly focused. Being too heavily in control is also a big problem because it alienates people and leads to a copious amount of stress. Being in control of things excessive is a bad thing and people need to stop perpetuating that being too in control is a good thing. I like how when Owen says this to Claire it’s a huge problem, but no one complains about when male characters in movies are told the same thing by their wives or love interests in movies. Second, it’s not surprising that the nephews wanted to go with Owen. While young boys have a huge tendency to lean towards female / motherly figures in their lives, but as they get older, boys are known to lean more towards male figures in their lives because they find comfort in it. It’s the same thing with little girls. Little girls are drawn to their fathers more but as they get older, they lean more towards motherly / female figures. It’s to be expected that they wanted to go with Owen because Owen is a guy with things that they can understand and relate to. Kids tend not to realise how big life or death is until it settles. They understand fear, but the understanding of death doesn’t completely register to them the same way so regardless of whether Claire helped save Owen or not, it’s not something that equates in a child’s mind the way it equates in a teenager’s or adult’s mind. And the high heel thing, goodness above. There is so many things wrong with this ideal that it’s bothersome. Owen had completely valid points. Not only is impractical to run in heels at all, let alone in the middle of the rainforest, but it’s also a huge medical problem. Just wearing heels daily is a problem that has been addressed and discussed by doctors continuously. Running in them is even worse. You are aware that she could destroy her ankles like that right? She also mess with her toes, leg tendons, cause back pain, etcetera, etcetera. So he had extremely valid points there. Not to mention that I know several women who said the same exact thing as he did. So it’s not just men who did the thing of looking at her footwear and it’s not something that only men do. Women do it too. Actually, I would go so far to say that women do it significantly more than men. There’s some issues with the movie, sure, but a lot of what you’ve pointed out actually has proper logic behind it and pinning it as a “Oh, they’re portraying women negatively” concept, is a huge disservice to whatever logical standpoints and ideals are behind it. And really. Who wears white to a rainforest setting? (That ridiculousness is based solely on the people responsible for styling them.) Lindsay Elizabeth Thea, this review is everything to me. Because Claire is so awesome! She is so good at ALL THE THINGS and is even just fine at the things that everyone in the movie wants us to think she is bad at. I mean, seriously, oh noooo, she sends her assistant to hang out with the boys, c’est terrible. And she doesn’t know their ages, WHO CARES?! But the way everyone treats her is just disgusting. And it could be remedied, if they realized that she’s actually pretty great in the end, but what happens? We get shown her looking soulfully at families and walking over to Chris Pratt because clearly they are now MEANT TO BE and she can HAVE A ROMANCE and A FAMILY NOW BECAUSE THAT DEFINES HER.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9368

Sane suffered ankle ligament damage in a tackle by Joe Bennett as the Premier League leaders won 2-0 at Cardiff City in the FA Cup on Sunday. Guardiola initially indicated Sane would be out for “a while”, with City unable to confirm a timescale in a statement released on Monday. But in a news conference on Tuesday, the City boss ruled Sane out of the Carabao Cup final, with the winger potentially missing both legs of the club’s last-16 Champions League tie against Basel. “He’s injured,” Guardiola told reporters. “It will be six or seven weeks out.” Bennett apologised for the tackle, which forced Sane into a half-time substitution, but after the cup tie Cardiff boss Neil Warnock suggested challenges from his players were par for the course in English football. Asked to respond to Warnock’s comments, Guardiola could not agree with the 69-year-old’s assessment. “He has more English football experience than me so if he says that, what can I say,” Guardiola added. “I was here 18 months and I think English football is not like this. After 18 months, my view is that English football is not like this. “But Neil has more experience than me. He has had all his career here.” [Source: www.goal.com] Format ImagePosted on 30/01/2018 30/01/2018 Author [email protected]Categories SoccerTags Manchester City, Premier League, SaneLeave a comment on INJURY BLOW FOR MAN CITY AS SANE RULED OUT FOR UP TO SEVEN WEEKS	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9382

Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, View from the Window at Le Gras, c. 1826 Draft of the first page of a hopefully book-length manuscript on photography. In memoriam Robert Linsley, and for Jamie, Beck and Helga, who asked. First, an anecdote: In 1999, just prior to opening the bookstore, I went on a trip to the US Southwest that involved driving around in a rental car, buying every saleable thrift-store book I could find, and UPS-ing them all home to Vancouver. Most US thrift stores were closed on Sundays, so Sunday became a travel day. One Sunday found me driving down a stretch of former highway in Colorado Springs. Motels; taverns; payday lending; hair salons. Up ahead, a big, attractively weathered sign on a pole advertised someone's garage or autobody shop. I braked hard; I'd like to think Stephen Shore, Walker Evans, or Stuart Davis would have braked, too. Somebody honked behind me: no stopping, even on Sunday. I drove down another block, parked, and walked back with one of the disposable plastic cameras I'd bought to document my trip. I stood in the business' driveway and focused on the sign, squinting through the camera's cheap plastic viewfinder. Soon a pissed-off woman came out of the building and down the driveway toward me. -Can I help you? -I'm good, thanks, I said, not taking my eye from the viewfinder. -What the hell are you doing? -I'm photographing. -I'm calling the fucking cops! -Kthxbai. I walked -- jogged, really -- back to the car and split. What bugged me back then -- what still bugs me today, if I'm honest -- is that I could not have given a more cogent answer if I tried, not to her and certainly not to the cops. Photographing. Doing what, exactly? In 1999 I didn't know, and in 2017, definitions don't help much. "To practice photography." (dictionary.com). "The art of capturing the beauty of life, the act of appreciating 'the moment.'" (urbandictionary.com). Or (via merriam-webster.com): "The art, process, or job of taking pictures with a camera" (DEFINITION FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS); "The making of pictures by means of a camera that directs the image of an object onto a surface that is sensitive to light" (DEFINITION FOR STUDENTS); and, finally, "The art or process of producing images by the action of radiant energy and especially light on a sensitive surface (as film or an optical sensor)." I like that last definition best; I think it is almost truthful. The STUDENTS and ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS definitions are too awed by equipment; their thudding insistence on the camera as the thing-that-does-photography ignores Corot's cliché verres (c. 1850), Man Ray's photograms (c. 1920), Pierre Cordier's chemigrams (1956-present), and hundreds of other counter-examples. Does a simpler definition exist? Throw out cameras, and film, and anything else extraneous, and you eventually end up with just two limiting conditions: light and a support. Light understood as an electromagnetic spectrum running all the way from infrared to gamma radiation; support meaning a surface (paper; panel) or plane (projection screen; cellphone screen; computer monitor; camera sensor). Merriam-Webster's insistence on a sensitive surface is too specific; right away it eliminates James Nizam's room-size camera obscuras, whose images appear on the upright interiors of derelict Vancouver houses, and Abelardo Morell's temporary marriages of internal and external architectural space. ACT (Aesthetically Claimed Thing): Drew Brayshaw, Ice Storm Glazed Tree, 2017 Robert Linsley: "Not all artists are noted for their humor, lightness, gaiety and wit.

I came late to the Bodega, where we used to drink, and he was with Rodney and a couple of other people having a great time making up their own epitaphs. Jeff’s was 'His First Sculpture.' Of course, the secret of art is that one can die and keep on living. Furthermore, the death of the artist is what enables an artwork to become a 'character.'"

Robert died yesterday morning from being hit by a car while on his bike. We are devasted. I hope you may help me to inform his friends in the art world. There were many and you probably know best who they are that would want to know. The media mistook him for a '64-year-old cyclist.' The art world will know better." Above, his Collage #7, 2016. How I'd like to remember him. If you'd frame it I left it burning on your wall The Image of Time "At a time when politics made the flow of time feel hectic, shooting in the park slowed me down, and using film slowed me down further. I was looking at foliage in green and an infinity of browns, as well as the fine shock of dazzling white after a blizzard, the silvery grays after rain. In contrast to my usual approach to photography — selecting single images from shooting done far away from home — the photos from Sunset Park made me more inclined to consider unspectacular images part of the work. That work continues. On any given day, I pick up a camera and a roll or two of film and walk to a small grove in a small park in Brooklyn. The grove is there waiting, and I am always grateful at the reunion."	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9386
__label__wiki	0.65352	0.65352	skip to: page content \| site navigation \| footer (site information) Fees & Financial Aid M.A. in Psychology, Depth Psychology Concentration The Psychology Department Master´s program in Psychology, Depth Psychology emphasis is an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural 36 unit curriculum providing education in the theory, practice, methods, and applications of depth psychology. It uses experiential learning, depth inquiry, and an embodied curriculum to educate its students in a soulful way. Depth Psychology uses the language of Jungian and archetypal psychology to explore methods for understanding and working with deep, soulful aspects of human life. The program investigates techniques of depth inquiry to access, explore, and understand the hidden parts of personal experience. Students gain experience in working with art process, dreams, symbols, myth and story, group process, nature, sacred practices, and ritual. Depth Psychology may be used in one´s personal life, in education, in group process, in art groups, in therapeutic settings, in personal-growth facilitation, in work groups, and in community-building. The skills developed in the program are useful for anyone who desires to work with others on a deeper level, teachers and facilitators particularly. Activists in community work, ecology and nature-based programs, rites of passage work, community ritual, and art find that the program inspires them and engages their initiative. Those with a vision of a society grounded in community may find that the program offers them skills and a vocabulary to bring their vision into the world in their particular field of interest. The program is not a clinical or counseling program and so it does not lead to licensure as a therapist or a psychologist. We believe that the program does give training in the essential skills that all good therapists possess; and many of our graduates have gone on to doctoral work in clinical psychology, or work in the field of community and mental health. What is Depth Psychology? Depth psychology is a term used to describe any psychological approach which explores the hidden or deeper parts of human experience. It is a broad term, so it can include approaches which look at interpersonal dynamics and the development of patterns of behavior. Depth psychology also refers to psychology rooted in the work of C. G. Jung, a 20th century Swiss psychiatrist. Jung developed a broad theory of how the psyche functions, how the individual develops, and how the personality is developed. His theory is grounded in an archetypal approach, which posits that all experience stems from collective patterns which inform experience. Jung´s work has been extended by contemporary practitioners and thinkers; it is quite alive. Many people find that Jungian psychology coherently explains life experiences, that it offers a path for individuation—that is, for developing uniquely into who one is, in essence—and that it offers room for the mystery and creativity of life. Jungian psychology includes the experience of the sacred, of mystery, and of the ineffable. It is an approach that is at home with myth and symbol, with the religious and spiritual traditions of the world, with anthropology and archeology, with art, poetry, and literature. Depth psychology is a broad term. You may also see the more specific terms Jungian psychology, analytic psychology, and archetypal psychology. All of these traditions share in the stream of Jung´s work. Who Are We and What Do We Stand For? We are a community of reflective engaged learners who integrate scholarship and embodied practices, with the goal of contributing in reflective, creative and transformative ways to community life. We draw from cross-cultural insights to teach skills in depth inquiry practices, rituals of personal and cultural transformation, ecological awareness, and inter-relational healing. We seek to contribute to thriving cultural forms that promote soulful living, ecological awareness, and social justice.

Celebrating the 100th birthday of legendary tattooist, Norman ‘Sailor Jerry’ Collins, Homeward Bound accompanies the critically-acclaimed cult film, Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry, set for UK DVD release later this year. With previously unseen photos and essays collected during the making of the film, the book recalls the era and artistic legacy of Norman Collins, the father of old-school tattooing. Says a spokesperson: “His visionary style inspired an entire generation of tattoo artists and his influence is still recognised today.” Fat Buddha Glasgow’s only street culture specialist, stocking everything from clothing, footwear, design-led books, urban vinyl toys and spray paint supplies, has opened a second store in Glasgow at 73 St Vincent Street. More than twice the size of the original and thriving Fat Buddha at Bath Street, the new outlet, providing some 2,250 sq ft of retail space over three floors, signals a repositioning of the retailer’s offering with a renewed focus on quality fashion brands, an extensive magazine rack and a basement stacked full of art supplies. Fat Buddha founder, Leslie Docherty, said: “We’re delighted to have secured such prime city centre space which enables us to realise the ambitions we’ve harboured for Fat Buddha’s expansion in Glasgow for some time. “Fat Buddha was founded with the aim of bringing together all the various strands of urban street culture in the one place, but our Bath Street shop has been bursting at the seams of late, so we’ve been on the hunt for the right second location for the last year. “We’ve now found the perfect location to take Fat Buddha to the next level at St Vincent Street.” The opening of a second outlet has presented Docherty with an opportunity to rationalise and reposition his stores. To that end, the original Bath Street Fat Buddha will focus on its extensive range of quirky and unusual gift items – including everything from Mr Men key rings to Sesame Street greetings cards – whilst the new Fat Buddha will showcase such leading fashion brands as Edwin, Undefeated, Carhartt, The Hundreds, Obey, Huf, Nike and Vans. Said Docherty: “Our new shop marks a fresh start with a brand new identity – a new logo and a cool new interior with hanging plants outside – to communicate the next stage in Fat Buddha’s evolution from a small street wear specialist into a bigger and bolder city centre fashion retailer offering a unique stock range. “In addition to top of the range fashion brands, we’ll be stocking an extensive range of specialist magazines – the kind of magazines that Borders used to stock but are no longer available in Glasgow – as well as art, design, illustration, graphic, graffiti, photography and fashion books. “The idea is that we can give our customers everything they’re looking for from the one outlet, so that they can come in to buy paint supplies and leave with a magazine, a t-shirt, some new footwear, jeans and a cool new hat.” Fat Buddha opened its doors on Glasgow’s Bath Street at the end of 2006 when Docherty recognised that Glasgow lacked a store that sold all the basic ingredients of street culture. Norman ‘Sailor Jerry’ Collins’ shop was a point of call for many sailors, miles from home and ready for war, fuelled by devil-may-care attitudes and a lust for life. These men went on shore leave with a single purpose in mind: to get ‘Stewed, Screwed, and Tattooed’ – taking in their first taste of liberty.

The reason to pick up this record is the last song Spys. (The best part of) breakin' up (cover verion of a Ronettes song) and Voodooman is more disco and lacks the cool electro sound that producer Orlando is reknown for.

Tips Lyn Thyer with her 400 cards of support The European Union Court of Justice (EUCJ) – which is based in Luxembourg and is either the highest or one of the two highest (depending upon one’s point of view) legal authorities – made its ruling yesterday morning and evidently decided that French prosecutors can, after all, issue European Arrest Warrants (EAWs). Why was this important to us? Because this was an issue in the Lynda Thyer and David Noakes cases where their so-called EAWs had been issued and signed not by an independent judge but by a prosecutorial judge. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) based in Strasbourg, France has repeatedly ruled that such arrest warrants are illegal and invalid. Yet, tone deaf to the ECHR, the EU Court of Justice has ignored such precedent and all obvious legal morality in deciding that such warrants were indeed valid. This means that now both David and Lyn will have to defend on the facts — which are still hugely in their favor — instead of being able to get the case thrown out on a legal technicality, which would have been quicker and easier, and less expensive to our NHF Legal Team, lead in court by the formidable lawyer Chloé Arnoux. Current Case Events Maître Arnoux has made a motion before the court today to keep Lyn Thyer out of prison. At the same time, Lyn appeared this morning before Judge Jean-Luc Gedaud for further interrogation. Doubtless, he was heartened by this new ruling; but he had to cancel today’s interrogation because the Parisian translator could not make it through the city-wide strikes even though Lyn, a stranger to Paris, was able to do so and even arrived early. Lyn Thyer appears today for interrogation On Monday, December 16th in Paris, the French Court of Appeals will hear and decide the continued appeal from the government in the Lyn Thyer case. Given the EUCJ decision yesterday, it is highly likely that this Court of Appeals will also disregard the European Court of Human Rights and follow instead the EUCJ decision upholding French prosecutorial arrest warrants. However, with our Motion to keep Lyn at liberty in play, and hopefully already heard by Monday morning, an honorable Court of Appeals would be loath to send Lyn Thyer back to prison. English Lawlessness Meanwhile, back in England, David Noakes had a near miss on Wednesday when the Border Force Police tried to corner him and enforce a blatantly illegal extradition order that would have put David on a boat, train, or plane to France this week. In an unintended humorous reenactment of the Sandford police in the 2007 film Hot Fuzz, the police officers missed David, clutching thin air instead. Sadly, the authorities are still refusing to await a decision of the Supreme Court on his illegal extradition order, which disregards the longstanding principle of no double jeopardy. Lyn Thyer, Ian Crane, and David Noakes in England When asked about his case, David Noakes said, “The High Court unilaterally refused to allow me to appeal against Westminster Magistrates Court extradition on Monday. There are at least seven reasons why I cannot possibly be extradited, but the senior freemason in the building illegally wrote the verdict, breaking the law with impunity, and handed it down to the Judge to read out. Wednesday, the police were bashing on my front door saying ‘Police, Extradition.’ As the High Court has refused to allow my appeal, I have to be given 28 days to appeal to the Supreme Court. But clearly the court told the police to disobey the law. All 27 of the staff of Immune Biotech Ltd fear the knock at the door, after 14 police raids, 33 persecutions, 20 court cases, four prison sentences, and multiple cases of police putting us into prison vans with tiny cells inside. Barrister John Smith submitted my appeal to the Supreme Court on Wednesday, 28 days early, and we will be asking the court to call off their police dogs.” More on the EU-Court-of-Justice Decision In the opinion of several knowledgeable legal commentators, the December 12th ruling by the EU Court of Justice really has no effect on the 2008 and 2010 rulings (Affaire Medvedyev Et Autres vs. France, Requête No. 3394/03) made by the European Court of Human Rights, as both the EUCJ and the EU must abide by the Lisbon and Nice Treaties that hold at their constitutional core the European Convention of Human Rights” to which all EU member states must abide. The legal precedent, which clearly stated that the French public prosecutor was not a judicial authority and therefore not entitled to issue any such arrest warrants, was lawfully decided by the European Court of Human Rights and is a mandatory ruling for the EUCJ. Therefore, yesterday’s EUCJ decision is not only illegal and unconstitutional but violates the very treaties upon which the EU has been constructed. To these commentators, the first French judge’s ruling in the Thyer case absolutely still stands. It appears now to be a battle between the universal human rights espoused by the European Court of Human Rights, on the one hand, and the unbridled corporatism espoused through the European Court of Justice. Put another more legalistic way, it is now a battle to see which legal precedents rule over which and which of the two courts will have the final say. The fight over the legal validity of the undemocratic prosecutorial arrest warrants is by no means over. And it will be interesting to see how the French Court of Appeals in Paris rules on this matter on Monday afternoon, December 16th. Our fight for justice and health continues. And NHF thanks ALL OF YOU for your continued financial and moral support! Believe me, we still need it. Please help Lyn and David. https://thenhf.com/2019/12/13/breaking-news-on-gcmaf-scientist-lynda-thyer-gcmaf-executive-david-noakes-cases/ One Response to “Thyer and Noakes’ legal teams put up superb fight against unlawful extradition” 15 Dec 2019 9:31 pm stevie k says: It beggars belief what these bastards will do to stop the truth about GcMaf getting out.

__label__cc	0.689617	0.310383	Secrets to an Amazing Role-Playing Game No Comments on Secrets to an Amazing Role-Playing Game Pretending games are a very expert sort of game that truly need a far more noteworthy meticulousness than other less vivid classifications. As the mechanized variant of the class took off there were a ton of cash hungry organizations who chose to rage into the class without genuinely attempting to comprehend what the imperative components of a pretending game are. Sometimes, these organizations have really had the boldness to purchase out more modest organizations who knew the class and they devastated since quite a while ago held traditions of extraordinary customary games. Taking into account that this may affect the eventual fate of modernized pretending games I have felt it to be of significance to teach these gaming goliaths with an end goal to assist them with understanding the solitary thing that is important to them. To sell pretending games you need a crowd of people ready to purchase the item and if an organization reliably puts out dodgy shooters in the appearance of obvious pretending games they’ll just wreck their standing and fail. I realize that the word bankrupt is a word that these cash hungry organizations perceives thus I underline one point, attempt to offer dodgy shooters to pretending fans and you will fail! By and by,https://cheatsupreme.com/ I have been a pretending gamer for around thirty years and I began to look all starry eyed at just two frameworks that I most likely can’t name on account of article composing rules. What I can say is that not many game creating organizations have come really near the pen and paper forms of the best pretending games available, you know, the ones that individuals really appreciate playing. I will say that I celebrated when pretending games got modernized as it implied I could do my pretending without the need to chase for individuals with comparable tastes and despite the fact that a few games have ascended to become incredible pretending games, they are unfortunately rare. On that note, of the styles of pretending games that incorporate pen and paper, modernized games and internet games, there is just one sort that can meet the completely vivid necessities of a job player and I’ll uncover why later. Alright, what are the components of an extraordinary pretending game at that point? I’ll give you each in turn yet the extremely most significant suggestion to remember during this entire conversation is drenching. To be a genuinely extraordinary pretending game, it needs to command the players notice and not convey redirections that permit the player to slip once more into the truth of this present reality. The player should be kept in the anecdotal world on the off chance that they are to feel that they have encountered an extraordinary pretending game. Quite possibly the most crucial components of drenching is a storyline; a truly convincing but grasping storyline. A job player would not like to stack up the freshest game and find to their consternation that storyline comprises of the shaky thought that they need to execute piles of things to get enough insight to murder the clear miscreant. Who needs to play a game where the miscreant is assigned the trouble maker without valid justification? Have you had a game where you are impact of one gathering of individuals and you’ve been decided to overcome the other gathering of individuals yet there’s no genuine proof that shows why the other gathering is terrible? The most noticeably terrible of these are the new hooligan games where one criminal association needs to overcome another criminal association and you’re the contract killer. Who is actually that dumb to succumb to a particularly horrible storyline? It’s unquestionably not for canny job players. A decent storyline can’t be a shallow reason for a war and it must be something you’d need to be a piece of. The storyline additionally must be remembered for the ongoing interaction itself and conveyed in a manner that doesn’t intrude on the truth of the interactivity by the same token. There’s nothing more regrettable than a major cut-scene that drops into the center of the game and causes you to sit inert for over a moment or two. For pretend gamers, the drenching of the game comes from being the character, not from watching the cut-scenes as though you were staring at the TV. What’s next… ads? Another piece of an incredible game play experience is staying alert that you have been a piece of the anecdotal world since you were conceived. This is passed on by knowing where things are on the planet and knowing who the current chiefs are, alongside knowing recent developments. This should be possible keenly by taking care of pieces of data in a characteristic way during discussions with non-player characters. Some amazingly essential data can be uncovered in any case aimless talk, much the same as on the planet you’re inundated in this moment. One thing that will shock a job player out of a game is an abrupt undesirable discussion with a quickly presented character who clarifies where the following nearby town is and that you must be cautious on the grounds that there’s a battle on or whatever thing. This is just done in games where the guides are refreshed as you find spots of interest. Making a significant city that lies not ten miles from your present position something that you need to find is silly, best case scenario, and just suits situations where you’ve been transported into another reality or you’ve lost your memory in spite of the fact that the last ought to be utilized sparingly as there are as of now such a large number of games out there that depend on the character having amnesia. Disclosure can be executed in undeniably more inconspicuous manners by including mystery territories inside effectively notable spots and it is this that gives a job player a feeling of revelation. Another inundation issue is the presentation of an affection interest in a game with no support on your part. You’re playing ceaselessly, staying out of other people’s affairs and afterward out of nowhere, one of the charmed characters that you never knew existed, affects ongoing interaction due to an alleged fundamental job they have in the gathering you’re an impact of. They ought to, in any event, permit a touch of being a tease in the discussion ways before an adoration interest is pushed in with the general mish-mash. As far as I might be concerned, somebody unexpectedly having that sort of interest is a drenching breaker in light of the fact that there was nothing at all that provoked a relationship. In the event that there is an adoration interest plausibility in the game, at that point it should be presented in an authentic manner and shouldn’t be out of the characters control. There was one game in which this occurred and the contribution of two love interests was the reason for one of the non-player characters to do more awful at being a help while the other turned into an extraordinary help. Certainly, the thought was novel yet it was additionally extremely immature on the grounds that it accepted that these two love interests were so fascinated with the player that neither could manage without him. It was more awful than viewing Baywatch or Desperate Housewives. I’m simply going to add one greater component to the blend since I just wouldn’t arrive at a resolution on the off chance that I permitted myself to call attention to each prerequisite of the best pretending games. As I expressed previously, the significant factor is submersion. A genuine article breaker for me is the powerlessness to build up the sort of character I need. I’ve experienced this as a general rule in games where you must choose between limited options over the aptitudes that you character can create. Obviously, this is the most exceedingly awful situation and there are numerous games that permit restricted turn of events yet there are just a small bunch of games that permit a genuine feeling of improvement. A genuinely extraordinary pretending game needs to permit players to create toward any path and make up for this adaptability by fusing different ways through the game. There’s no reason for making a mechanized pretending game if the character does likewise in each and every play through of the game. The most irritating of these issues is where you can have a spell using character yet they build up precisely the same spells at the very same point in each run of the game. It’s somewhat more excusable for fighter types however even for this situation there are numerous games which take into consideration many diverse battling styles. Presently, if I somehow happened to proceed with this conversation I’d add different themes like the renaming of characteristics with no decent motivation, taking into account more than each journey to be given in turn, true buy necessities during the game and other absurd practices. I vowed to show which game sort was the best for pretending games however thus, here it is. Non-online automated games are the lone games that take into account full inundation and I’ll clarify why. In contrast to table-top games, you’re not hindered by the prerequisite to actually connect and move pieces which removes you from the part of the piece itself. Contrasted with pen and paper games, you’re not needed to look into tables or enter long exhausting conversations on how rules ought to be deciphered. Greatly multiplayer online pretending games don’t meet the necessities either and I know some of you will be amazed yet when was the last time you were assuming a mechanized pretending game and one of different players needed to leave since they needed to go to work and they educated you it was an alternate time in their piece of the world. ← Roman Candles Fireworks Add Spirit To Your Celebrations → Poker – Starting Hand Guide	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9411

The exceptional development of many countries is also causing an increased demand for culture and, therefore, new museums. Our specific profile, multidisciplinary and international, our sensitivity towards the most diverse cultures combined with twenty years of experience in the museum world, enable us to work alongside government bodies to resolve the complex issues involved in these ambitious projects, assisting you in all the phases of realization. From drafting the conceptual profile of the new museum – artistic, historical or scientific – to choosing the most suitable architectural firm for your requirements. From deciding the spaces necessary and how they will function to coordinating your requirements with those of the architectural design. From resolving the problems of layout to addressing the educational aspects. From creating partnerships with museums in other countries to planning cultural activities. A museum that reinvents itself over time. To truly be at the core of a cultural renewal, to be a powerful magnet for national and international tourism a museum cannot simply be a static container, but must be a generator of events. It needs to act as a pole of attraction that changes constantly year after year. We can make all this happen for you. Restyling of existing museums. We are able to assist you in completely restyling existing museums. This restyling can involve the architecture, the exhibition spaces, the education programme, the planning and communication of exhibitions and cultural activities. In the new global context, every museum is precious, provided it is able to create a dialogue between its vocation for conservation and the constantly changing languages of the international community. ® Art Consulting © 1999 M.

__label__wiki	0.549047	0.549047	Entertainment \| Films and TV Cara Delevingne on being rejected and how she struggles to stay skinny Model role Text: Yeong Sassall Cara gets candid in her interview with Buro Russia correspondent Will King I spot Cara Delevingne outside the swanky London hotel where our interview is about to begin. But the first thing I notice is a group of ecstatic teenage girls fanning over their idol. One of them (she looks about 10 or 12) asks the supermodel to add her on Instagram. "Not a problem!" says Delevingne as she takes her phone out and grants the girl's wish. The lucky fan starts shaking so hard she can't even say thank you. Delevingne looks back awkwardly at her publicist, not knowing what to do. But when it's time for our interview, she's clearly in control. She climbs onto the chair with her feet and is willing to answer any question at all. She's young, feisty and a bit crazy, just like her heroine Margo from Paper Towns, which just opened in cinemas worldwide. They're both a good kind of crazy though, which I'm quick to tell her. "We're both fearless," Delevingne corrects me. "That is for sure the personality trait we share." Have you always been like that or is that a result of your career? I've always been a thrill seeker. People say I'm very spontaneous, I think I'm very predictable. I just always go for the most exciting things I could find in life. Margo pulls a few outrageous pranks in the movie. Is that something you're capable of too? I used to run around school and we used to have these giant sugar pots on the tables and I would go and replace the sugar with the salt and the salt with the sugar. Still have no idea how I never got caught. I would cause the trouble but never got in trouble myself. Shall we name the school so it could finally become public knowledge? Let's say I went to Hogwarts. Oh my God I just remembered I used to buy henna pens and draw penises on people's faces when there were sleeping! Although people quickly figured out who was responsible - the only girl with no penis on her forehead in the morning. So you and Margo have a lot in common, but how do you differ? She does pranks as revenge. I do them to people I love [grins]. You must have been always surrounded by people trying to befriend you. What was high school like for you - did it verge on Mean Girls? Nothing like that. I went to Hogwarts, remember? Harry was an arsehole though... You're a model, designer, musician and actress - any more hidden talents? There isn't much left in my talent basket... I'm actually a good magician. If all fails I might join the circus. Also I love bread baking. Do you actually eat bread? I do but I can gain weight easily. Trust me. It doesn't take a lot. Do you diet at all? Of course I do. For Suicide Squad I'm meant to be a goddess. 'Ripped' as they say. So I've been doing a lot of training. I have to eat a lot of protein and vegetables. No carbs. How does it feel to be on that diet? Very boring. But again I would do anything for a good role, except for probably plucking my eyebrows! What do you think is more difficult - breaking into modelling or the film industry? They are both pretty f*king hard to get into. As for modelling: I felt like because I didn't give a sht at all, that's why people wanted to hire me. I think it's ridiculous how many people want to be models and are so desperate about it. The fact that they are so eager makes them far less appealing. In modelling I feel like there are so many models - they'll use you once and you can be gorgeous but no one will ever ask you back again. Acting is like - once you're in you're in. You get picked up a lot more, if you're good. You're a Brit It-girl. How easy was it to play an American in Paper Towns? I love accents so I started my prepping there. In the film I wanted to make it as natural as I could, so I kept my accent when I wasn't on set. Which for my family and friends was very weird. I started dreaming in American. I would wake up and think in an American accent. At one point in the film Margo says that she might have cultivated her image. Can you relate to that? I'm not trying to cultivate a fantasy. I specially told my fans, this 'being Cara Delevingne' kind of fantasy is completely false. I'm no better than anyone else, I'm as human as anyone. I kind of try to get rid of it as much as possible. But again I guess I do like to make things look easy - I just think it's part of my job. What about your wild image? Where has that come from? I play music, I like leather. There you have it. What else can I say? I'm wild, but more feral than wild. I don't like to be caged. Have you got a dream role? I'd love to play in a movie set in the future. Like the first female Formula One champion or the first female US president, which will hopefully happen soon. Have you auditioned for any great roles you didn't get? The first one - it was Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. I was 16 and I thought I was made to be Alice. That was my first taste of rejection. It took me so long to get over that. I didn't watch the film because I was so upset I hadn't got a part. When I finally watched it I disliked Mia Wasikowska because I was so upset. I'm a very bad loser. These days when I go for a role I automatically think of three people I know who would be better at it.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9417
__label__cc	0.684157	0.315843	More eligible boats and events for 2021 The Classic and Vintage Racing Dinghy Association (CVRDA) has extended their definition of old boats to include all those built before 1990 of dinghy and catamaran classes designed before 1965. This means many more boats from the classic classes are eligible to race at CVRDA events, including for example, more pre- Canterbury Tales Merlin Rockets (boats up to number 3441), National 12s up to number 3334, Solo up to 3679, OK up to 2039, Firefly up to 3562, Wayfarer up to number 8828, YW Dayboats up to 618 and Albacore up to number 7752. Plus we now include a limited number of classes established between 1965 and 1975 with boats built before 1990 that fit the ethos and find it hard to compete in the modern sailing scene. These classes are: Contender (aluminium rig only); Devon Yawl; Javelin; Lark; Marauder; Miracle; Phantom (aluminium rig only) and Streaker. Plus several catamaran classes. So Javelins up to number 547 are now able to join in the fun. The unusual, unsuccesful designs are not forgotten either. Also welcome are lost classes, those designed after 1965 but before 1990 which are no longer in production and their associations have ceased to exist (or never existed). As long as the boat was built befroe 1990 they are welcome so in recent years events have seen the Harrier, the Hit, the Unit and several other unusual classes out racing. But it isn’t all racing. Anyone who just wants to cruise is welcome and the social side is important. The majority of events are full weekend events with on site camping and camper parking available, evening meals and time to talk about boats, get advice and chat with like minded sailors. But those who can only come for the day are still very welcome. Anyone unsure if their boat is eligible should contact the CVRDA via the website – details below. The CVRDA also aims to encourage and support class associations which provide racing specifically for older boats either with age related handicaps or as a classic fleet and to support struggling eligible class associations including by providing for a Nationals within one of our events, something which has been successful for the Pegasus, Minisail and Lowrider International Moth classes. Any class association interested should make contact, usually through this website. Any one is welcome to come along to any of our events as long as your boat qualifies! You don’t have to be a member to join in the events although membership is only £10 and this pays for this website which has full details of events and there is always more information and discussion and help available on the free-to-join wide-ranging forum at http://www.cvrda.org/community. Often a question can be answered with a simple search of the forum discussions and a contact form is available for particular enquiries and will send them to the correct person. http://www.cvrda.org/contact-us/ There is also a popular FaceBook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/cvrda for lighter discussions. CVRDA events are all about getting the old boats on the water, whether beautifully varnished wood, restored to original glory with cotton sails or tatty fibreglass just pulled out of the dinghy park for the first time in years. We love them all.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9420

In May of 1864 he moved, as a Porter, to Wicker Station, Sheffield (this was the former Sheffield & Rotherham Railway Terminus). On the 6 September 1864 he received another increase in wages, now receiving 16/-. He resigned from his duties as a Porter in early 1866. The Coaching / Traffic Departments and the Locomotive Departments were treated independently, it appears that if an employee wished to move from the Coaching Department to the Locomotive Department, they had to resign the former so that they could start 'on the footplate' the next day. Herbert's resignation probably followed this procedure.5 Herbert Tipper, son of Joseph Tipper and Martha Mann, was married to Mary Salt in Salem Methodist Chapel, Belper, Derbyshire, in 1867.

Naturally Connected The Cootes to Escarpment EcoPark System is a collaborative initiative to protect, restore and connect more than 3,900 hectares (9,600 acres) of natural lands at the western end of Lake Ontario. This is one of the most biologically rich areas of Canada, home to nearly a quarter of the country’s wild plants and more than 50 species at risk. It is also the last intact ecological connection between Lake Ontario wetlands and the Niagara Escarpment. These natural lands are also situated in one of Canada’s most vibrant and rapidly growing urban regions, the Hamilton-Burlington region. Economic growth and urban development have caused the natural areas to become fragmented by roads, rail lines and other features of urbanization. The result is a disconnected patchwork of smaller protected areas, each valuable but isolated and ultimately unsustainable. This situation presents an urgent need to reconnect, restore and protect these valuable lands, and to create a lasting legacy for current and future generations. As a collaboration between ten local government and non-profit organizations, the Cootes to Escarpment Park System is an innovative project with land-owning agencies working together and with neighbouring landowners to protect and restore their natural lands and secure additional lands to create ecological corridors. In addition, the partners work together and with other local environmental groups to deliver sustainable recreation and education opportunities. The ecopark system lands include more than 1,900 hectares (4,700 acres) of lands owned by the partner organizations. These are surrounded by 2,000 hectares (4,800 acres) of privately owned lands which can contribute to the ecological health of the area through complementary stewardship activities to protect and restore natural areas and wildlife habitat. Together they form the Cootes to Escarpment EcoPark System: a protected, permanent and connected natural lands sanctuary from the Harbour to the Escarpment that promotes ecosystem and human health within Ontario's Greenbelt.

__label__wiki	0.927187	0.927187	State Rep secures $3.6 million in state funding for East Portland sidewalks July 8, 2013 Jonathan Maus (Publisher/Editor) State Rep. Shemia Fagan at a pres s conference in April. State Representative Shemia Fagan has delivered $3.6 million in state capital funds to build sidewalks and crosswalks in East Portland. At a press conference back in April, Rep. Fagan announced her intentions to pursue this funding, which she saw as her duty following the tragic death of five-year-old Morgan Maynard-Cook on February 28th. Not only did Rep. Fagan believe the state had a duty to build the sidewalks in light of the grief experienced by Maynard-Cook’s mother Connie Ruiz, she also did it to provide safer road conditions for the 2,000 students who attend schools in the area. “All of these kids need a safe route to school,” she said at that press conference, “And these families are not just Portlanders, they are Oregonians and we owe them as well.” Here’s an excerpt from a statement put out by Fagan’s office today: “After being approached by Morgan’s family, Rep. Fagan, Representative Jeff Reardon (D-East Portland / Happy Valley), and Representative Jessica Vega Pederson (D-East Portland) formed and led the East Portland Caucus to pressure the Legislature to provide the $3.6 million needed to begin immediate construction of crosswalks and sidewalks on SE 136th Ave. Portland Mayor Charlie Hales and Commissioner Steve Novick, recently tapped to lead the City’s transportation bureau, worked with the East Portland Caucus to prioritize this joint effort. “For too long East Portlanders have been told to ‘be patient,’” Rep. Fagan said. “But Morgan’s family, and every family, has a right to be very impatient when it comes to the safety of their children.” “I am proud to make East Portland a big winner in my first session in the Oregon House,” she added. “I was elected to fight for my district and I am proud to deliver something real.” Construction has already begun for Phase I of the SE 136th sidewalks project funded by the Portland City Council. Phases II and III, funded today through House Bill 2322, will break ground this winter. None of the projects slated for funding will be bicycle specific (Rep. Fagan has some interesting views about how bicycling is perceived by her constituents); but anything that improves safety on east Portland streets is a benefit to everyone that uses them. east portland, Front Page, shemia fagan Major new pro-transit advocacy group prepares to launch in Portland Biking/walking projects now eligible for $42 million in state lottery funds	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9433

The Art department aims to create a learning environment that fosters creativity, independence and challenge. The curriculum is organised around individual themes from Year 7 to Year 13 and aims to draw out individual strengths and interests in all students. We hold an ambitious exhibition each year to celebrate GCSE and A-level work and we display Key Stage 3 work regularly around the school and at public events. In KS4 students visit galleries and museums to further their projects and at A Level students have the opportunity to go abroad to help them develop their own ideas and themes as well as show students a diverse range of traditional and contemporary Art and Design. Art and Design is an exciting and stimulating subject; at GCSE and 'A' level, it gives pupils the opportunity to extend and develop skills gained in Years 7 to 9 and produce a personal body of work that can be used for entry to art school or university. Extra-curricular opportunities are also provided that allow pupils to work with artists, designers art students, galleries and life drawing. If a pupil aspires to a career in art or design, such as training to be an artist, curator, graphic designer, fashion designer, photographer, illustrator or arts manager, then the subject is essential. Art is a discipline for young people who are passionate and committed; it is a subject for life-long learning. A large part of our GCSE and 'A' level courses involve detailed critical and analytical skills also in response to the work of other artists, craftspeople and designers. Projects are designed to explore a variety of art, craft and design based approaches to making. These include drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed-media, sculpture, installation, photography and digital art. In addition to timetabled lessons, pupils will have opportunities to attend a range of gallery and research visits.

" - Emily York - Chugg Entertainment Australia , List A-Z & Genres Showacts Home » Mother Africa Mother Africa The “Circus Mother Africa” is celebrating its anniversary and is on tour with its grand show of success „Khayelitsha – my home“ The tour goes through Europe with 40 cities in Germany and also others in Austria, Netherlands, Danemark and Italy. Since ten years the shows of Mother Africa bring the pulse of the African Continent on stage. The new Show will take its visitors to “Khayelitsha”, one of the biggest townships in South Africa. Mother Africa presents with “Khayelitsha – my home” a colourful world packed with dance, music and acrobatics as well as a new point of view to Africa with its beautiful, stunning and unique facets. Mother Africa is more than just a circus show; it is a journey through the African continent with best entertainment and highest artistic performance. Every visitor will enjoy the great variety of modern and traditional African culture in the show and supports not only the artists on stage. About 25 kilometers away from the city of Cape Town and the Table Mountain, in the peripherie just around the corner lies one of the biggest Townships of South Africa: Khayelitsha. More or less two million people live there in self build hoods made of panel sheets, wood or cardboard. Khayelitsha is the Xhosa word for “new home“. It’s a township amongst many others in Cape Town, developed from the Group Area Act in 1950, which banned all black people from South African cities. After the end of Apartheid many black people came back from rural areas to Khayelitsha to find work. 90 % of the inhabitants are black, the rest of the population is colored, white people hardly dare to go there. In recent years the government tries to improve living conditions in Khayelitsha. But all efforts proceed slowly. In fact Khayelitsha is a place of violence and crime. South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world. Khayelitsha, with an unemployment rate of 70%, has gained notoriety in being the front-runner for ages. On the other hand you can find great places of joy and zest of life in in Khayelitsha as well as a lot of hope, talent and positive energy. This is what the show focuses on. The most successful young athletes from seven nations will present their motherland from the heart: joyful, colorful, creative and self-conscious. The hustle and bustle in the townships is the central theme of the show, it unites all performances of dance, singing and artistic with quotations from African history and bridges to European culture. In Mother Africa’s “Khayelitsha” some “inhabitants” make their way through the chaos of the township with neckbreaking unicycle constructions made of rebuilt bikes and pushcarts. Ladders or washbowls suddenly become props for fabulous artistic. Young people sing and dance in the street while others are building human pyramids, performing breath-taking icarian games or contorsion acts on simple hand carts. Life in Africa often is a balancing act between tradition and modern life style. So it’s no wonder that in “Khayelitsha” traditional Zulu dance meets modern Break dancing. A cool groove mixed with traditional music performed live on stage by the Mother Africa band underlines the two hour show spectacle.

__label__cc	0.716761	0.283239	Tag Archives: Jerry Holkins The Dickwolves rise again Posted on September 7, 2013 by Caliban I had planned to have a completely different subject for this week’s column, but then the dickwolves had to rear their ugly heads. So now I feel the need to really weigh in on this matter. Some ground rules before we get into this. I am going to recap what led us to this sorry state of affairs, if for no other reason than to make clear what my understanding of it is. Then I am going to give my opinion on what it all means and what can be done about it. And due to the subject at hand, I feel the need to place a trigger warning here. This subject includes discussion of rape and sexual harassment. I am going to go in bluntly at times, so be aware going in. And with that, here we go. This all started on August 11th 2010 when the web comic Penny Arcade published a strip titled The Sixth Slave. The strip was about the odd morality presented in MMOs where you are given a quest to rescue five slaves. In it, a sixth slave begs for rescue and when detailing the horrid conditions of his captivity says he is raped nightly by monsters called dickwolves. The mention of rape is not the central them of the strip, and is clearly there as a means to make the condition of the slave as horrible as possible. However it was still a gratuitous use of rape as set up for a joke and some people did take offense. The creators of Penny Arcade, Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins, reacted to the criticism by offering a quick commentary in their blog which amounted to “agree to disagree.” If that was all they had done I doubt I would be writing this right now. They also made a response strip called Breaking it down, which made light of the rape concerns. This was the insult that really started the issue. Several blogs and even newspapers comment on the situation and almost universally object to how Penny Arcade had handled the situation. If you are interested in looking at these then go here to the Tumblr Debacle Timeline which has an exact timeline of events and links to articles. Penny Arcade responded to these complaints by making dickwolves merchandise and selling them through their store. Courtney Stanton, who had been asked to speak at the Penny Arcade convention PAX East, said she would not go to the convention as she is a rape survivor and could not support them, due to how the dickwolves situation was being handled. There were a couple of responses to this. One is that the dickwolves merchandise was removed from the Penny Arcade store. The other is that Courtney Stanton starts getting harassed by Penny Arcade fans. Of special note is that a pro Penny Arcade twitter account, @teamrape, is created with the express purpose of harassing people who voice any disapproval or the Penny Arcade over the dickwolves. During all this there were no comments from Jerry Holkins. Mike Krahulik does comment, but only to mock the complaints or egg on the fans who are supporting the dickwolves. Again look at Debacle Timeline for specific examples. And there were death threats made. Courtney Stanton of course received both death and rape threats. So did many others who commented on the situation. My friend Mickey Schulz, who writes Geek Girls Rule, wrote about this and to this day receives threats whenever the story resurfaces. In February of 2011, Krahulik also received a death threat. This marks the only time Holkins makes any comment, to decry the people threatening Mike and to ask people on both sides to calm down. There is much more that happened over the next year. Far more than I can possibly go over here. Again, debacle timeline covers it all very well. Over time the dickwolves controversy, while never going away, faded into the background. But it was not completely forgotten. In July of this year, Krahulik had another controversy come up when he got into a twitter fight over his views on transgender. I covered that situation here. Unlike the dickwolves situation, Krahulik actually apologized and made an act of contrition. It was a good sign. However, this incident, combined with the dickwolves, led indie game developer The Fullbright Company to cancel their booth at PAX prime. There was also an article posted by the Financial Post, in July, titled Penny Arcade needs to fix its Krahulik Problem. While a direct response to the transgender issue, it does reference the dickwolves. And this leads us to the most recent event. On the last day of PAX Prime, at a panel, when asked what his biggest regret was Krahulik said it was removing the dickwolves merchandise from the Penny Arcade store. PA President of Operations and Business Development Robert Khoo backed him up, saying the complaints should have been ignored. The audience cheered and applauded. This, of course, has reopened the wounds of the entire controversy. Almost immediately, articles and blog posts came up condemning the statements by Krahulik and Khoo. On the flip side, you had posts once again calling those making complaints crybabys, and defending Penny Arcade by pointing out all the good work they do. On Wednesday, following PAX Krahulik posted an apology and clarification on his position. While he does think it was a mistake to pull the dickwolves merchandise he does state that he thinks making it in the first place was also a mistake. He basically says that their handling of the entire situation was a long series of mistakes. So where does this leave us? First, why does this situation keep having legs? The problem comes down to the how Penny Arcade overall, and Mike Krahulik in specific, have dealt with the situation. As I said earlier, the original joke was about the senseless and abusive MMO story mechanics but the execution of the joke was crass and caused the point to get lost in the ensuing argument. The entire mess could have been avoided, in the first place, if Krahulik and Holkins had just apologized for offending readers and moved on. Even a BS non-apology, or simply ignoring the situation, would have probably led to it blowing over. Instead, they opted to mock those complaining and double down on the offense. That fact that Krahulik himself says he now recognizes this is hopefully a step in the right direction. But there are a lot of people not giving any slack on this. They have pointed out that this is not the first time he has apologized, after doing something like this, and yet here we are again. There are a lot of people saying that this is purely a PR move by Penny Arcade, and that when everything dies down it will be back to business as usual. This could very well be the case, and if true than something else will happen again, and we will all be having this discussion all over again. That is assuming this blows over, this time. There is also a lot of speculation that this may not have been the most sincere of apologies. One good question, about the apology, has already been raised: if Krahulik says that he regrets everything they did, than why, when asked at the panel, did he say his biggest regret was pulling the dickwolves merchandise, instead of saying his biggest regret was making it in the first place? Also, there is no mention of any steps he is taking to avoid doing this in the future. Now it could simply be that he is not the most introspective of individuals, and taking those steps never dawned on him. It could also be that the entire apology is damage control, with no other purpose behind it. Really, there is no way for us to know. For the purposes of the rest of the points I want to make, we will be taking Krahulik’s comments from Wednesday at face value. Just mentally add “if he is truly sincere” to everything I write, from this point on. Krahulik had stated, during the transgender incident, that when he feels threatened he gets hostile. If he is now recognizing this, and trying to work on it. then it is a step in the right direction. When the comments appeared on Monday, Krahulik appeared to be lacking in this empathy. I think there may be some truth to this still, as he seems to not have the necessary awareness when he says things like he did on Monday. It is also possible that his apology comes from the fact that he has at least learned to recognize when something is blowing up in his face. His comments on Wednesday show that this may not be the case. The impression coming out of his latest comments could be those of someone who is in over his head. I don’t think he ever imagined, when starting the comic with Holkins, that they would end up running one of the largest conventions in the industry, and be seen as role models by the community. He has said that he still sees himself as just the guy that draws a web comic. Unfortunately for Krahulik and Holkins, they now are role models, and off the cuff comments from them do have an effect. Then you have the fans. As I stated earlier, Penny Arcade fans can get really passionate and aggressive against PA critics. They have been known to crash web sites in the name of PA. Hell, I recognize that just by writing this column I could very well become a victim of the Penny Arcade fan rage. But if Mickey can stand up to regular death and rape threats, then I can handle being called names and maybe having my site crashed. Let us remember that the fans cheered when the dickwolves were brought up and people in the audience called for the merchandise to be brought back. There is a very straight forward problem with all of this. Penny Arcade has made a goal of making PAX a safe and inclusive environment for all gaming fans. In fact, they have one of the best harassment policies of any large scale convention that I have seen. However, with the continual uproar over the dickwolves and the stirring up of the fans, they actually create a hostile environment for rape survivors and, really, women in general. During PAX east, in 2011, the @teamrape twitter tried to organize a dickwolves flash mob, and did so using classic bullying language (come join our fun dickwolves flashmob). If Krahulik and Holkins really want us to believe they want the inclusive environment, then they need to publicly decry @teamrape, and others like them, that harass people in Penny Arcade’s name. Whether the apology was sincere or not, if they do not get a proper handle on this, Penny Arcade is running the risk of having the good work they do being damaged. Already you have people writing that they do not find PAX a safe place in light of these comments and the fans reaction to the dickwolves statement on Monday. That segues into another problem with this, a lot of the people defending Penny Arcade simply point to the good work they do, such as the Childs Play charity, as a defense saying that they do more good than harm. This is an empty defense, as harm is harm and good work does not offset it. It would be like saying Michael Vick does good work through the Vick Foundation, so that offsets staging dog fights. And Krahulik knows this, as he has said that he worries that his comments can damage the work they do. So what needs to happen? A lot rests with Mike Krahulik himself. He is not just an owner and creator at Penny Arcade, the brand is largely built around him. He has to internalize that his words carry weight, and that he needs to learn to pick them more carefully. If he has not taken sensitivity training, he needs to consider doing so. In addition, Penny Arcade and its subsidiaries are going to have to face up to the fact that they have been damaged by this. They are certainly losing the impression that PAX is an inclusive environment. They are going to have people, in increasing numbers, not want to have anything to do with them. Right now, that will not have much impact, as Penny Arcade and PAX are so popular that there are more than enough fans to take up the slack. But if their long term goals are to be welcoming and inclusive, then they have a lot of work to do in order to regain that. We, as the greater geek community, have a role to play too. Just as I am doing here, people need to give voice to this issue. But in doing so, we have to be careful to not just be screaming into the wind; we need to be making points and backing them up. The best way to make change happen is to make sure things don’t just get swept under the rug And then we bury the dickwolves once and for all.

__label__cc	0.708433	0.291567	Dystopians: The Leadership of Cis, Straight, White, Able-Bodied Men. Dystopian worlds have become very popular lately. Whether it is Revolution, Falling Skies, The Walking Dead or Defiance, the one thing they all have in common is straight, cisgender, able bodied White male leadership. This suggests that at the end of the day, no matter the circumstance White masculinity represents authority, logic, safety, and intelligence. People of colour and women are often relegated to side characters who week after week submit to this authority and often times appear to be grateful for it. It is no accident that the White male is so revered in dystopians. It plays upon the idea that White straight masculinity is a declining power because of resistance by women, people of colour and of course GLBT people. It suggests that there will come a time when nature will correct itself and once again White men will rule the world, as though that is not the current situation and further; the world will be grateful for it. Sometimes the writers make the effort to explain why these men are in charge - in The Walking Dead Rick is a cop who people look to for stability; rather more dubiously, Nolan is the only person in Defiance able to step into the Lawkeeper’s shoes (apparently). But often leadership just happens - in Terra Nova Jim rises to become second in command in all but name after smuggling himself to the colony and despite there being more experienced people (Alicia Washington, a woman of colour). In Falling Skies Tom is a history professor who has risen to a leadership role in the military before the show even starts and manages to become a major player in all the leadership councils. There’s no real reason for their leadership - leadership just settles upon them. Even in situations where the great White leader is in a secondary role like for example Joshua Nolan’s position relative to mayor Amanda Rosewater in Defiance, the man still takes a leadership role, rarely coming close to respecting her position. As the mayor she is supposed to run the town, yet Nolan frequently makes decisions on his own, flouts her authority and has all of the delicacy of a bull in a china shop interacting with the various citizens of Defiance. Nolan hadn’t even been in town for a New York minute before Amanda was placing a badge on his chest. It was Nolan who led and planned the defence of Defiance when it was attacked and though Amanda participated, clearly Nolan was in charge. This straight, White, male leadership is also typified by dictatorship. On Falling Skies we have military leadership that eventually reaches ‘democracy’ but only in the sense that the supreme dictator is elected - I saw no legislative body or organs of government. Terra Nova is completely under Taylor’s dictatorial control without a pretence of anything else. The Walking Dead is famous for its Rickocracy - and in the comics, Rick’s refusal to even keep Michonne and Andrea informed of his plans is inexcusable considering what they’ve been through together. Even Nolan, subject to Amanda’s authority, has to be talked into agreeing with her as much as anything and frequently ignores her. On the rare occasion when leadership passes on to someone who isn’t a cis, straight, White man then that leadership will be flawed - either the outright enemy on Terra Nova or such incredible ineptness on The Falling Skies that Marina is suspected of being a mole for the aliens. One of the most glaring elements of this firm placement of cis straight White men as leaders is how impossible it is to actually depose him from his throne! I am actually genuinely curious as to exactly these men have to do for everyone around them to decide that maybe, just maybe, they shouldn’t be the one calling the shots or the one they shelter behind. Rick is the most obvious extreme example of this - in The Walking Dead (both TV series and comics) Rick has a breakdown. He hallucinates his dead wife. He completely steps away from any responsibility in the group - becoming farmer Rick, refusing to carry a gun and generally sticking his head in the ground. He is obviously traumatised and terribly fragile - and this is after he deliberately caused the death of several people and some pretty dubious decision making before that. Yet everyone in the prison act like he’s just taking a brief holiday. Everyone expects him to take up the reigns again, everyone’s waiting for him to take control and everyone is even trying to nudge him back into his leadership position. The council is there, but ultimately everyone seems like they’d be much happier if they went back to the Rickocracy; and Rick himself has still clung to threads of power - using his authority to banish Carol. When the Governor called on Rick to speak for the Prison he wasn’t ignoring the Council, he was engaging the power structure as it really was Rick is a glaring example but hardly the only one. In Defiance Nolan is exposed to have massive prejudices against the Votans in one of Datak’s schemes - yet this is presented as Datak’s deviousness rather than exposing a side to Nolan that made him ineligible to run the mixed town of Defiance (never mind his frequent disrespect for the civilian authority of the town). In Falling Skies Tom Mason is happy to go wandering off on his own quests and projects, even completely stepping down as president to do so. Most glaringly, he once got on an alien spaceship, willingly becoming their prisoner for no discernable reason (I am still utterly bemused by this). After which there was a very real suspicion he would be implanted with the alien’s mind control technology - and yet he still leads! In Revolution Miles is a brutal and notorious war criminal yet he’s still the boss. Watching these shows makes me think about what White masculinity really means. All of the White male leaders are decidedly hyper masculine and this suggests that hypermasculinity not only is a necessary quality for leadership but to be considered a true man. Such character traits embodied in a man of colour, for instance, would present as threatening and even terrifying. Such a characterisation would never be portrayed in a gay or bisexual man since it is anathema to how gay and bisexual men are portrayed. This aggressive form of masculinity is only good because of Whiteness and straightness. That it then leads to bad decisions, violence and emotional scars is deemed a necessary result - and also making marginalised people acceptable collateral damage. It establishes a hierarchy of beings placing the straight White man in a role that cannot be threatened or challenged; the leadership is absolute and authoritarian and it is repeatedly suggested that to even question is to risk the safety of the group - and make you a threat. It’s the ultimate "ends justify the means" philosophy and the resulting stress and traumas caused to the leader merely serve as a justification for even the most extreme actions or horrendous mistakes. Ultimately, these repeated roles present a world where the straight, cis, able bodied White man simply has to be in charge. It is almost as if, when we remove the trappings of civilisation as is so common in these dystopian words, we become even closer to what is still seen societally as the “natural” state beneath a cis, straight, White male leader. He is the Patriarch. The great protector, the leader, the ruler - and when things are really bad, when we are truly under threat, it is to him we should turn, obedient, weak and unquestioning so he can lead us to safety. He is not only the only person who can be our hero, our saviour - but he is the only one who can be our Lord and that lordship is both necessary, welcomed and even craved by his lessers. In turn, this reduces anyone who is not a cis straight, White, able bodied man to being a dependent, almost a child, of the Patriarch; subject to his rule and cowering in his shadow - too weak, too foolish or too unsuitable to be without his guidance and protection.

__label__wiki	0.584345	0.584345	Home/ Family Law matters / Missing Children Missing children involved in family law cases Is your child missing Recovery orders Publication orders There are occasions when a parent involved in family law proceedings removes a child from their usual residence and prevents the other parent from having (court-ordered) contact with the child because they cannot be located. In these situations, the other party (usually a parent) who is involved in the proceedings can make an application to the Court seeking a recovery order. For more information on recovery orders, please refer to the Recovery orders brochure. Should the recovery order fail to lead to the recovery of the child, an application can be made to the Court seeking a publication order.

Contemporary Dance Showcase: Asian-Male Episode 7’ presented by E-Side Dance Company.9-11-16 Last night I was invited to review ‘Contemporary Dance Showcase: Asian-Male Episode 7’ presented by E-Side Dance Company. The showcase comprised of a series of 6 short pieces of work from various male choreographers who all performed their own work. Review- Twelfth Night- AFTEC26-10-16 A shipwreck takes Viola to Illyria where she is forced to dress as a man and act as Cesario to be Duke Orsino’s servant, who she ends up falling in love with. However, he sends her to say sweet words on his behalf to Olivia who falls for Cesario. If the situation doesn’t seem messy enough, imagine what happens when Viola’s twin brother arrives. Review- Otello- Opera Hong Kong14-10-16 Opera Hong Kong is closing out its commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare with a new production of Giuseppe Verdi’s “Otello” which runs through Sunday at the Cultural Centre. Review- The Importance of Being Earnest- Shadow Players16-9-16 How can you compress the grandness of Oscar Wilde’s Victorian England to the confines of Hong Kong? The Shadow Players beautifully showed the local audience how to do it. The minimalist set took nothing away from the play, in fact, it allowed for the characters and their varied personalities to shine even more. Review- Jeeves and Wooster: Perfect Nonsense- Lunchbox Productions16-9-16 Get ready for a production so hilarious that by the end of it, your tummy will be aching from laughter! Following a sell-out year on London’s West End and a season in Mumbai, "Jeeves and Wooster- Perfect Nonsense" opened last night at the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts, where it will be staged for 14 shows only. No-one should miss this exhilarating comedy. Review-Vinalon-Not So Loud13-9-16 Before the review begins, let me introduce Vinalon. Vinalon, as the play informs you, is a synthetic fibre developed in North Korea in 1939. Although hailed by the bureaucracy as a 'miracle creation', it is often viewed as difficult to work with and consequently only produced in North Korea. Review- Fragile Beauty- CCDC4-6-16 Fragile Beauty tells the story of Hong Kong, taking you through the changes the city has seen over the years through modern dance. Indeed, from choreographer Sang Jijia’s perspective, the city has seen many changes over the thirteen years he has been gone and this 75 minute dance piece takes you through the personal and political journey the city and its people have experienced. Review- The Last Five Years- Aurora Theatre20-5-16 I'm a big fan of The Last Five Years. I've seen it several times. I even saw a lesbian production in Austin a few years ago. I know this musical and love it. Writing about a show you've seen many times is always harder than a new experience. But as usual, I'll do my best to see this production with new eyes and through the vision of the director, Marek Steenkamp. Review- Mother Matters- Apple Pie Productions8-5-16 The quintessential elements of home life - motherhood and apple pie -also make for a delightful and heartfelt evening of performance and celebration. Mother Matters by Apple Pie Productions certainly delivers in bringing thirteen monologues and ensemble pieces to life with engaging and heartfelt performances, nourishing our souls and our stomachs with servings of apple pie. Review- Swan Lake on Ice- Lunchbox Productions28-4-16 A beautiful blending of classical and contemporary artistry, Swan Lake on Ice takes you on visual and visceral journey. 5 \| 6 \| 7 \| 8 \| 9 \| 10 \| 11 \| 12 \| 13 Terms of Us(e)	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9475
__label__wiki	0.589273	0.589273	Guest Post: Enough: How Not to Over-Write by Dennis Palumbo Hollywood on the Couch The inside scoop on Tinseltown, USA. How to write enough (but just enough) to engage the reader There’s a great moment in the classic film Key Largo, when gangster Edward G. Robinson is asked—given the extent of his wealth and power—what he could possibly still want. “More,” he famously answers. More. Kind of the American credo in a nutshell, which isn’t as damning as it sounds. The word "more," when appearing before such other words as individual rights, artistic freedom and access to information, stands as a proud element of the Western imperative. On the downside, more has also fueled global climate change, the growing gulf between people’s incomes, and an almost obscene preoccupation with material things. When it comes to life in general, "more" is definitely a two-edged sword. I’d argue that the same holds true with the craft of writing. More is not always better. In a screenplay, for example, an overwritten patch of description can bring the reader to a screeching halt, draining the narrative of pace and forward momentum. Or take monologues. Unless used sparingly, and with a definite intent, a monologue in a film or TV script can often make the character just seem wordy. (Exceptions abound, of course. Such powerhouse writers as Paddy Chayefsky, Rod Serling and Quentin Tarantino come to mind. And even they occasionally fell prey to mere self-indulgence.) In a short story or novel, endless words of description—whether of place, a character’s physical appearance, or in the service of the author’s thematic or philosophical interests—can slow the narrative to a crawl. Overwriting, it’s safe to say, is by general agreement a bad thing. Then why do so many writers do it? Let’s be clear: I’m not talking about the normal, expected overwriting that characterizes your first draft. During those explosive, flowing, unfolding bursts of creativity, your inner editor is—you hope—asleep at the switch until you get the myriad ideas, incidents, breath-taking narrative leaps and beside-the-point stretches of dialogue down. The first draft is when you do get to describe a character as “grungy, foul-smelling, disheveled, knuckle-dragging and poorly-dressed.” You can even add, “We are repulsed. Taken aback. Aghast. The camera’s eye wants to turn away.” The more socially-conscious might note: “A grim reminder of the dismantling of the welfare system’s safety net in the past thirty years.” No matter. All that hooey gets edited out in later drafts. Or should. Yet, for some writers, it feels like tearing a piece of their skin away to delete any of it. Why? Is it because they think every word is golden? Hardly. In fact, it’s the reverse. In my experience with the writer patients in my therapy practice, those who tend to overwrite are usually struggling, whether they know it or not, with issues of self-trust. Either they don’t feel entitled to be writing in the first place and thus need a cornucopia of words to try to mask this, or else they feel unsure of their talent and craft. If the latter is the case, these writers try to convince the reader of the legitimacy of the idea or emotion or scene being depicted by packing it with adjectives, metaphors and authorial asides. Anything—and everything—to make sure the reader gets it. On the other hand, writers who trust their skills and/or feel entitled to be writing at all have faith in the narrative and emotional power of the single appropriate phrase, the short though vivid description, the seemingly simple line of dialogue freighted with meaningful subtext. The ancient poet Gensei wrote: “The point of life is to know what’s enough.” That’s the point of writing as well. Not only does self-trust enable writers to shape their work into its most effective, compelling form, but such writing also has enough “air” in it to allow readers to bring their own experiences to what they’re reading (or seeing onscreen), thus increasing the work’s relevancy. In other words, good writing is what is evoked in the spaces between the written lines. Good writers have enough trust in themselves to know that there’s something there, and that they’ve written enough (but just enough) to convey the thought that sparks the echoing thought in the reader’s mind. They’ve portrayed enough of the character’s emotional life to resonate with similar aspects of the reader’s inner world. A single descriptive word, such as barren or choked or remorseless, can bring with it a wealth of associations to thoughts, feelings and images waiting to be stirred into life in the reader’s imagination. How do writers develop self-trust? The way we do in most other aspects of life. By doing. Writing. Risking that our readers will follow us where we’re going; that what we have to say, or what we’ve always felt, or what we openly fear or yearn for, will find a recognizable home in the reader’s heart. Self-trust, like it or not, is born of risk. As are most worthwhile things. Ultimately, if we believe we ourselves are enough, we’ll believe that what we’re writing is enough, too.

__label__wiki	0.652369	0.652369	Home / Uncategories / Effect of nickel addition on the structure and mechanical properties of aluminium bronze (cu-10%al) alloy Effect of nickel addition on the structure and mechanical properties of aluminium bronze (cu-10%al) alloy March 13, 2020 Edit This research was undertaken to investigate the effect of nickel macro-addition on the structure and mechanical properties of aluminium bronze. Sand casting method was used in the production of a dual-phase aluminium bronze alloy with pre-selected composition of 10% Al-content. The properties studied were tensile strength, yield strength, percentage elongation using universal tensile testing machine (SRNO0723), impact strength using charpy machine (U1820) and hardness using Brinell hardness tester model B 3000(H). The tests were conducted according to BS 131-240 standards. The specimens were prepared by doping 1.0 -10wt% of nickel into Cu-10%Al alloy at 1.0 percent interval. Microstructural analysis was conducted using L2003A reflected light metallurgical bench microscope and PHENOM ProX scanning electron microscope. Results obtained showed that optimally improved mechanical properties were achieved at 4wt% nickel addition with respect to ultimate tensile strength and %elongation. Hardness on the other hand, decreased with increase in nickel content while impact strength increased with increase in composition of nickel from 1-10wt%. Microstructural analysis revealed the presence of primary α-phase, -phase (intermetallic phases) and fine stable reinforcing kappa phase and these phases gave rise to the enhanced mechanical properties. This research have established that aluminium bronze doped with nickel increased the tensile strength, ductility, and impact strength and reduces hardness and is therefore recommended for applications in automobiles and allied engineering industry. 1. Materials and Method 1.1 Materials and equipment The under listed materials and equipment were used for the research work; pure copper scrap (99.9%), pure aluminium scrap, nickel granules, weighing balance, crucible furnace, vernier caliper, bench vice, lathe machine, electric grinding machine, hack-saw, stainless steel crucible pot, mixer, scooping spoon, electric blower, rammer, moulding box, impact testing machine (U1820), hardness testing machine (A 3000 H), universal tensile testing machine (model SRNO0723), emery papers of different grits, air drying machine, metallurgical bench microscope (L 2003A) with digital camera and PHENOM ProX scanning electron microscope. The methodology adopted to carry out these research essentially involved alloy preparation by melting and casting techniques. The alloying element (nickel) was added separately in concentration of 1-10% by weight to molten Cu-10%Al alloy, stirred and sand cast. Subsequently, specimens obtained from the casting were subjected to machining and mechanical test such as ultimate tensile strength, impact strength, yield strength, hardness and ductility. The microstructures of the samples were also studied using, metallurgical microscope and scanning electron microscope. 1.2.1 Experimental procedure (a) Alloy preparation The sequence of operations followed to obtain the studied specimens and mechanical test samples include; the use of calculated quantities of pure copper scrap, aluminium scrap, nickel granules. The materials were weighed out in their appropriate proportions respectively using a weighing balance. Sand mould was prepared and used for the casting of the specimens. Meanwhile, impurities such as metals, hard lumps, stones etc. were removed from the moulding sand using 500μm and 400μm sieves to obtained fine and uniformly distributed grain size. The sand was mixed well in a sand mixing machine with the addition of a little quantity of water to ensure uniform distribution of the ingredients. The foundry floor was cleared of dirty and floor board was put in place. Some moulding sands were sprinkled on the floorboard surface and then patterns were introduced. Sand was introduced and rammed; the ingate runner and risers, plumbago (painting materials), rammers etc. were used to prepare the mould. The patterns were removed and the cavities created were repaired. The pattern removal was done slowly to prevent mould damage. After the pattern was removed and mould repaired, ash was then sprinkled on the cavities to enhance easy flow of the molten metal inside. The furnace used for the melting operation is a crucible furnace with a crucible steel pot of maximum controlled temperature of about 1750oC. Prior to charging of metal into the furnace, the crucible pot was removed and properly cleaned to avoid contamination by other material inclusion. (b) Melting and Casting of alloys This operation was carried out to produce eleven separate specimens for the research work. The bailout crucible furnace with steel crucible pot was pre-heat for about 10minuties. For the control sample, 163.44g of Cu and 17.18g of Al were measured out. Copper was charged into the furnace pre-set at 1100oC and heated till it melted. Aluminium was then allowed to dissolve in the molten copper for 6minutes and stirred properly to ensure homogeneity. The alloying element (nickel) were then introduced separately into the melt (Cu-10%Al) based on the compositions, after the control sample had been cast. The melt was manually stirred intermittently in order to ensure homogeneity and facilitate uniform distribution of the alloying element. Then molten metal was poured into the mould cavities and allowed to solidify for about 3minutes before shakeout from the mould. (c) Machining The machining operation was carried out using a three jaw chuck lathe machine. The samples to be machined were firmly clamped on the machine and facing, turning and shaping operations were done on the clamped samples with the aid of a cutting tool mounted on the post of lathe machine. Eventually the required dimensions for impact, tensile and hardness test samples as well as microstructural analysis were obtained. (d) Tensile test The tensile test was conducted using horizontal bench top Mansanto Tensometer machine (SRNO0723) and the test carried out at room temperature. Specimens for this test were machined to a dumbbell shape which is the standard specifications so as to fit the grips as shown in Figure 2. The testing process started with the specimen labelled 1 and continued on to 21. The specimens were placed each between the two grips, these held the specimen in place, gradually force was applied on the work piece till it fractured. Different values of force and extension were obtained and reported. Hence, the specimen were tested to determined their ultimate tensile strength, ductility (%elongation) and yield strength. These properties determined were tabulated in Table 1. Figure 2: Tensile test specimens (e) Hardness Test This test was conducted using a Brinell testing machine model B3000 (H). The specimen each 20mm in diameter were polished, placed on an adjusting table below the control panel separately, the table was raised to the focus of the microscope which helped to determine the exact spot for indentation. On pushing the start button on, the microscope returned automatically to its resting position and the spherical indenter was carefully placed on the specimen surface. A specified force was applied and maintained for about 15seconds after which the indenter bounced back to its former position. The indentation was clearly seen on the monitor of the Brinell testing machine, the diameter of the indentation was obtained by placing four metric lines on the edges of the indentation using hand control knob. The diameter obtained and the force applied was used by the machine to calculate the Brinell hardness of the work piece. Brinell hardness result was displayed on the bottom left hand corner of the monitor. Three (3) indentations were taken on each specimen and the mean was obtained. (f) Impact test Impact test was carried out with charpy impact test machine model (U1820). The specimens were machined to a dimension of (10 x 10 x 55) mm with a V-notch of depth 2.5mm at its mid-point. The samples to be tested were placed at the machine’s sample post with the notch facing the hammer. The hammer was raised to an angle of 45oC and released to swing through the positioned sample in order to break it. As the sample was broken by the swing hammer, the impact energy absorbed was read from the charpy impact energy scale calibrated in joules. Hence, the impact energy of all the samples as well as the control sample was captured. (g) Microstructural examination The microstructure of the experimental specimen was studied using optical metallurgical bench microscope and Scanning electron microscope. In the process, a cubic sample was cut from each of the 11 cast samples. The samples were ground by the use of series of emery papers of different grits with decreasing coarseness from 220, 340, 400, 600, 800, 1000 and 1200 grades and polished using fine α-alumina powder. The specimens were washed thoroughly and dried using the oven dryer. After drying, the specimen were inserted into dilute hydrofluoric acid which was the etching reagent for about 10-15 seconds and layers of the specimens were attacked chemically until the polished surface were slightly discoloured or dull in appearance. The etched specimens were washed in water to stop the etching action. The specimens were dried and viewed under a high power electron microscope with a magnification of x400 and micrographs showing the different morphologies of the cast alloy were taken. For SEM observation, the test sample was placed on the setup. The setup was put in an ultrasonic cleaning process. Both the sample and the setup were placed in front of an air heater in order to make it dry before test. After the drying process, both the sample and stup were placed in a special tube for pre-vacuum process. The sample on the stup was put under scanning electron microscope machine for testing. It was observed that the microstructure in Plate 1 contains α-phase of the aluminium bronze in which the β-grains appear to have absorbed the α-dendrites thereby preventing the precipitation of other phases out of the solution. This must have been due to the absence of alloying elements. Hence, the presence of alloying elements apart from aluminium tends to stabilize β-phase and effectively permit slower cooling rate [9]. From Plate 2-11, precipitation of fine lamellar form of kappa (κ) evolve due to the presence of nickel as an alloying element in the Cu-10%Al alloys. The presence of nickel aided the nucleation of a few fine lamellar kappa precipitates. Plate 5, shows the effect of 4wt% nickel addition on the aluminium bronze microstructure. The amount of fine lamellar kappa-phase transformed within the matrix increased compared to 2 and 3wt% nickel addition. These further explain that presence of more nickel in the alloy matrix within the base metal provided an increase in nucleation sites for the precipitation of kappa-precipitates from α-phase to occur. The sharp fall in values of UTS and %elongation as seen in Table 1, could be as a result of casting defects noticed on the microstructure of the casted samples. The preponderance of nickel presence in the cast Cu-10%Al alloy effectively suppressed the formation α + γ2 within the alloy matrix. This stands in agreement with the work of Cook et al (1980). The addition of nickel to an alloy has a strong influence in stabilization of β-phase. When nickel is added to an alloy, it suppresses the formation of γ2 –phase and α-solid solution range is extended towards higher aluminium contents. The combined effect produces a kappa-phase which has the same structure as the β-aluminium bronze [11]. The scanning electron micrographs of the control specimen (Cu-10%Al) shown on plate 12 revealed that the micrograph consists of α-phase (which is the grey region), β-phase, and eutectoid α + γ2 phase (the twin dark light region). The intermetallic phase Cu9Al4 existed in the form of coarse plate-like precipitating from the β-phase through the grain boundaries. Plate 13 showed micrograph of Cu-10%Al +10%Ni. It was observed that α-phase was surrounded by little dark etching β-phase. The combined effect of Cu-10%Al and nickel produces a kappa precipitate. The size and disposition of kappa phase present in the structure caused reduction in hardness value. However, there was good enhancement in their impact energy due to higher proportion of tough, ductile and soft kappa precipitate present. download full paper This article is published in peer review journal and open access journal, International journal of research in engineering and innovation (IJREI) which have a high impact factor journal for more details regarding this article, please go through our journal website.

Following the death of seven civilians during clashes with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Saturday, Khan tweeted the next day: “Strongly condemn killing of innocent Kashmiri civilians in Pulwama IOK by Indian security forces. Only dialogue & not violence & killings will resolve this conflict. We will raise issue of India’s human rights violations in IOK & demand UNSC fulfil its J&K plebiscite commitment.” In his briefing, Kumar reiterated India’s demand that Pakistan stop allowing its territory to be used by terror groups and terrorists and exporting terrorism to other countries. “No action is being taken on that,” he said. “On the other hand, they have sometimes the gumption to comment on the internal affairs of a neighbouring country. I think it will be better if their mind their own business and look at their internal affairs which are in a mess,” the spokesman said. ‘Stop the steal’: Trump supporters refuse to accept defeat at the hands of Biden ‘Time to heal in America’: US President-elect Joe Biden pledges to unite the country Imran Khan wanted to have sex with Cynthia Ritchie, claims Pak TV host COVID-19 Updates: Global coronavirus cases cross 7 million mark, over 4 lakh dead Explosive Video!

In many cases, the desired effects include changing the physical properties of the polymers or reducing production costs. This process is also known as sandwich molding. There are two types of coinjection processes: machine based and mold based. Each type offers its own specific advantages and applications. Machine based coinjection requires the use of two or more processing units. This is considered a cold-runner process. The molten plastic of each processing unit is forced through a manifold where it is combined and then exits through a single nozzle. By processing the plastic through this means, the result is a core product covered by a skin of polymer. Mold based coinjection is a hot-runner process in which the two molten plastics are kept separate until the last phase. The streams are joined when they reach the mold, forming a part with a dual layered effect. This type of molding is commonly seen in household products such as toothbrush handles that have a clear outer surface surrounding a colored core. While this application is suitable for creating certain aesthetic effects, it is also useful in other ways. The combination of a core product with an overlay of polymer allows manufacturers to create a wide variety of different properties for products. The reduced cooling time required in the coinjection process makes this method a practical technique for low temperature core products. By using an inexpensive recycled core material coated with a more costly polymer skin, the manufacturer can save production costs. In a similar arrangement, a strong core material, such as glass, can be used to add strength and rigidity to a more flexible polymer. In some cases, coinjection molding is combined with a foam core to create products with sound absorption properties. Aside from the obvious benefits to the manufacturing side of the process, coinjection offers advantages from a consumer and environmental standpoint, as well. This process makes recycling of plastic parts and post-industrial materials possible. These materials are ground and used to form inexpensive cores for injection molded parts. By using recycled materials, it lowers the cost to consumers and eliminates waste products in landfills. The strength added by core choices can also result in more durable, long-lasting products.

Retrieved from http://www.netlibrary.net/ Educational Reference Publication Abstract: This study analyzes the feasibility of guerrilla warfare as the basis for a strategy of airpower employment for a weak air force confronting an opponent with a stronger air force. The analysis begins with a distillation of the theory of guerrilla warfare into five elements essential to its success: superior intelligence, security, mobility advantage, surprise, and sustainment. The author then compares the ground combat environment of the traditional guerrilla with the airpower environment of the potential air guerrilla and concludes that these five elements can be met in the airpower environment provided the weak force has sufficient ingenuity and the necessary resources. An investigation of recent trends in technology and the prevailing strategic environment indicates that it increasingly possible for a weak force to obtain these resources. The author assesses that air guerrilla warfare is a viable war fighting strategy, but points out that the likelihood of a weak force actually adopting air guerrilla warfare will depend on its regional security needs and its resolve to protract a conflict. The study concludes that air guerrilla warfare is a credible threat to a stronger opponent. To meet this threat, the author recommends that the United States re-examine its intervention strategy, reinforce its policy of strategic engagement, and research both airpower and non-airpower means to neutralize an elusive guerrilla air force.

The FBI is looking for fans on Facebook and followers on Twitter to expand its ability to share information with millions of social media users. The social media programs supplement other information technology tools the bureau has deployed in recent years to make it easier for people to submit tips and get news from the FBI, bureau officials said May 15. In addition to a Facebook page and tweets sent via Twitter, the bureau also has a YouTube page and is testing the usefulness of the virtual world Second Life. Disseminating information on such sites about fugitives, missing children, threats and scams is an extension of the bureau’s longstanding effort to enlist support and help from the public.--Read more on Federal Computer Week. The Bureau has also developed a number of widgets, including a widget which features the FBI 10 Most Wanted Fugitive list. The widgets, available on FBI.GOV, can be easily shared via email or Facebook and can be embedded in blogs and websites, moving traditional law enforcement information outside of the walls of a dot-gov website and making it available to where people--and possible informants--already are.

Rizal fought for the Filipinos during the Spanish colonization not by means of bloody revolution but in a peaceful manner through his writings. He wrote numerous articles, poems and novels that depict the cruelties, graft and corruption of the government during his time. Through his intelligent and marvelous works, he defended the Filipino people from Spanish accusations of foolishness and lack of knowledge, and represented the cries and miseries of his countrymen against abusive foreign officials. He attacked the oppressors not by brutal strength but through the power of his words. Among Rizal’s popular revolutionary literary masterpieces are a poem entitled “Mi Ultimo Adios” (My Last Farewell) and two novels, “Noli Me Tangere” (Touch Me Not) and “El Filibusterismo” (The Filibuster). Noli Me Tangere is the first of the two famous books that Rizal wrote. The title of the book is a Latin phrase which means “Touch me not!” and was lifted from the verse in the bible in John 20:17 where Jesus told Mary Magdalene to never touch him when the woman recognizes him following his resurrection. The book was written and secretly published in the Philippines during the late 1800s. Ibarra had the best luck to have been given with the best chicken parts. In chapter three (“The Dinner”) of the book, there was a mention of a dish called Tinola – a quintessential Filipino soup made from stewed chicken with white squash, green papaya or potatoes, flavored with ginger and other local spices, and served steaming hot as the first course at dinner. In the said scene, Crisostomo Ibarra, the main protagonist, was having a dinner party with several prominent characters: the influential man and dinner host, Kapitan Tiyago (Captain Tiago) and the infamous Spanish friar, Padre Damaso (Fr. Damaso) among others. Crisostomo Ibarra was a well-known insulares (a person born in countries that are under Spanish colonization), a member of the high class Philippine society, an idealist and a well-traveled man. He has attributes and visions identical to that of Rizal’s. The dinner was intended to be a celebration for Ibarra’s safe return after his extended stay in Europe to study. Among his valuable takeaways that was quoted was: “… the prosperity or the misery of a people is in direct proportion to its liberties or concerns, and consequently to the sacrifices or selfishness of its ancestors.” When Kapitan Tiyago later on ordered that tinola be served, Ibarra had the greatest luck to have been given the meatiest part of the chicken and the giblets (liver and gizzard). It was actually one of the dishes that he had not eaten for a long time since his stint abroad. Everyone on the table was served with nice chicken parts except Padre Damaso. He was given a naked chicken neck and tough wing and some pieces of squash floating on the broth. In other words, the poor friar was served with the least favored part of the chicken which could be translated to a great insult during that time, whether done intentionally or otherwise. “Observing all these, the Franciscan mashed up some pieces of squash, barely tasted the soup, dropped his spoon noisily and rudely pushed his plate away.” Padre Damaso, often negatively described as being fat, arrogant and corrupt Spanish priest, is known for his being notorious and an enemy of Ibarra. He was the representation of the reigning Spanish government during that time. Being enraged by what happened, he belittled Ibarra's trips abroad which, according to him, were useless since everything that the young man learned outside the country could also be known without having to travel extensively. The humiliated Ibarra did not argue with the friar but graciously excused himself from the dinner table. Kapitan Tiyago tried to stop him but to no avail. Tinola is certainly a comfort Filipino dish. During the same night, Ibarra wrote down the following title for a chapter in his Colonial Studies: “Concerning the manner in which the neck and wing of a chicken in a friar’s plate of soup may disturb the merriment of a feast.” Among his notes there aroused one of the following observations: “In the Philippines the most unnecessary person at a dinner is he who gives it, for they are quite capable of beginning by throwing the host into the street and then everything will go on smoothly. Under present conditions it would perhaps be a good thing not to allow the Filipinos to leave the country, and even not to teach them to read.” Number of Servings: 5 to 7 (Printer-friendly recipe) 1 whole (2.5 lbs.) chicken, cut into serving slices 1 small green papaya or chayote, cut into wedges 2 small potatoes, quartered (optional) 1 thumb-sized ginger, julienned 1 small white onion, finely chopped 1 L hugas-bigas (rice washing) 3 tbsps. patis (fish sauce) a handful of chili pepper leaves or malunggay (moringa) leaves 3 tbsps. cooking oil Heat the cooking oil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Sauté the garlic, onion and ginger until translucent and fragrant. Add the chicken and cook until the color lightens. Add the fish sauce and mix to incorporate the flavors. Pour-in the rice washing, enough to cover the chicken pieces. Bring the water to a boil and then set to simmer for 30 minutes. Add papaya or chayote and potatoes. Continue to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Adjust the seasonings. Remove from heat and then add chili pepper leaves or moringa. Leave aside for 2 minutes. Transfer in a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy! TIPS FROM ENZ: Using native chicken instead of the usual commercialized chicken yields a more flavorful soup but requires longer cooking time to tenderize the meat. Plain water can also be used instead of rice washing. Aside from chicken, other meat can also be used like fish and other seafoods (squid, clams and mussels).

__label__cc	0.679965	0.320035	Nine Evolutions of Podcasting In 2017 Predicting the coming year of podcasting is a little more challenging than usual because, in my mind, the 13-year-old medium has been maturing very fast. Unfortunately, growth and innovation will be slow in coming this next year. It is true that podcasting’s best days are ahead and we do have many developing trends that will enable the medium to grow its creators and listeners. For a little perspective, the podcasting medium was a revolution when it began between 2004 through 2007. Since then, podcasting has been chugging along at a slow, unrevolutionary but steady growth trajectory for many years. It is true that podcasting awareness and listening grew a little faster over the past 2 years with the heightened media coverage of the reality and fictional storytelling podcasts. The continuing evolution of podcasting in 2017 will be good for the industry, but those breakthroughs in media coverage and technology innovation will be lacking this next year. I would really like to be all glowing in my predictions for podcasting in 2017, but I believe we need to be realistic and understand that the significant market improvements around this medium have mostly happened already. What we will see is incremental improvements in these core areas next year. I am hoping to be surprised by the emergence of a new content genre or audio experience that will drive the next big wave of awareness for podcasting. It is very likely that this content genre could be big budget storytelling podcasts coming out of Hollywood and large corporate investments in brand marketing motivated original content productions. I also think that independent podcasters will continue to be the dominant force in podcasting with most listeners enjoying those smaller shows across many genres. Many are predicting the decline of the independent smaller podcasters, but that is wishful thinking by those from larger shows wanting less competition in the podcasting market. Below are my thoughts around the important podcasting evolutions in 2017. Listen to “SLS94: Nine Evolutions of Podcasting In 2017” on Spreaker. 9. Hosting distribution platforms will develop better tools to help monetizing smaller and larger shows easier. The need to assist monetization of shows with smaller download numbers will be given more attention in 2017. New easy to use tools will be available to all levels of podcasts and on demand audio shows. These tools will offer many levels of monetization opportunities from advertising with host and talent reads. The combination of programmatic ad buying tools with powerful campaign CMS tools will appear to enable trafficking advertiser messages across hundreds of shows in one campaign. This should bring revenue to smaller shows that are producing great content and building loyal listener followings. I do not think most premium paid podcast shows will produce very much revenue this coming year, as has been the case for every other year. A few very large shows will find some sales revenue from this, but very few shows that convert to premium audio will generate significant revenue like has been done for many years around audio books and music. That will continue into 2017 because the tools for doing this really need some technological innovation and should be based on open RSS with password protected episodes and open feeds. 8. Interactive Advertising Bureau’s (IAB) continued march towards podcasting download metric standards. The IAB Podcasting working group that represents most of the largest players in podcasting today will continue to take a leadership role around creating foundational advertising best practices and measurement standards. This group has put out a guidelines document in 2016, but in 2017 we should see more technical standards recommendations. https://www.iab.com/guidelines/podcast-ad-metrics-guidelines/ 7. In-car dash consumption of podcasts will continue to replace radio listening in the car. Some will tell you that In-Car entertainment systems are not important to the growth and development of on demand audio and podcasting because these systems are generally disliked by consumers and are just glorified Bluetooth audio player devices. At this stage, these in-dash systems are integrating complete and software updatable solutions and are being deployed in all new cars. This wave of change is in full deployment that will take many years to be fully realized. The impact and significance of it will grow in importance and be felt more the new year as more of these cars will be sold every day. Internet data connections in these cars will continue to get cheaper and software upgrades will continue to improve these experiences. This evolution will truly start to replace radio for many drivers with terrific on-demand audio podcasting content. 6. Personal voice agents (Alexa/Echo, Google Home, Siri and Cortana) devices will enable more in-home listening growth. Smart voice agents will have a larger impact on podcasting in 2017 as these devices and services get integrated into all sorts of devices, including car in-dash, kitchen appliances, and living room and bathroom devices with internet connections. The biggest impact will come from the Amazon Echo with Alexa skills that enable server side voice services to include search and play of audio podcasts by voice request. 5. Dynamic ad insertion partnered with Programmatic Advertising Buying and Trafficking tools technology will improve. Dynamic ad insertion technology enables audio advertising and other segmented audio to be dynamically inserted by servers into mp3 audio files in pre-roll, mid-roll and post-roll in a specified location in the mp3 audio file, much like a book being slid onto a bookshelf of books. In the coming new year, we will see more use of this technology to enable all levels of shows to better monetize. This tool will be combined with online programmatic ad buying and campaign trafficking tools to more easily distribute commercial advertising messages. 4. Some host read advertising will morph into more host-like “Talent Reads”. Podcast advertising was built on what is called “Host Endorsed Advertising Reads” and, in the new year, it will continue to grow in importance to the increasing advertising revenue in podcasting today. The issue is related to talent and time needed to record these host-endorsed reads. Thus, we will see a shift towards having talented voice-over artists record more host reads. We will see two tiers of host reads: ones done by the actual show host and those done by talented ad readers that produce the advertising message in the same method as the show host would record them. 3. Short-segment social media sharing and playback growth. Podcasts today grow audiences by word of mouth. We will see more platforms support the social media sharing of short segments from audio programs on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. 2. Live audio recording to podcasting grow. One of the leading trends online has been and will continue to be enabling Live video and audio. An example of this is the recent decision on the part of Facebook to enable Live audio streaming on its closed platform. Some podcasting distribution platforms combine live audio streaming and recording to then be encoded into mp3 files. Content creators and listeners like the interactivity of Live. Therefore, this will continue to grow in 2017. 1. Android takes a larger share of the podcasting listening market. Mobile devices, including Smartphones running Android OS, will continue to progressively and more rapidly expand podcast listener audiences in 2017.

__label__cc	0.632372	0.367628	Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 01:00 AM Iron can be heated and poured, molten, into molds of almost any conceivable shape. For the better part of a century objects created in foundries and pieced together by human hands dominated our lives. Iron was the medium of the industrial revolution but wood was it's fuel. The world was conquered with iron and fire. Trees were the first victims of the holocaust that ensued. The hunger for dried tree flesh was rivaled only by the madness for metal. First, sharpened metal in the form of edged weaponry, then metal slugs and metal jackets - high speed projectiles and the containers of fire. He who had the most metal won most disputes and though there were other factors, it's always come down to he who wields the most fire, the best fire, the most spectacularly accurate fire. If Prometheus only knew. All of history seems predicated on the refinement of fire delivery and containment. Burning is the epitome of violence and the father of it. We burn to extract and forge and shape and hurl. To move things fast you need to burn something somewhere along the line. Fire is our god; or not. But fire is the king. He keeps his subjects safe and warm. An object, made from fire and iron, becomes a container for a smaller and more controlled fire, a personal fire, a pet fire, a fire that eats trees and heats soup. A stove is a fire box and this one, the Victoria, wastes away now in a cabin in rural Georgia. To contain heat, to direct it and disperse it evenly, is a principle that has given us much in the way of comfort and convenience. But those benefits are short-lived; and short-sighted. We now understand better the value of trees, and the harmful effects of smoke. This stove, therefore, is a symbol of arrogance and greed. It is represents consumerism, the disposable society and a transition in lifestyle. If we're no longer tied to the land, why would we expect people to care for it? This is just a stove. The women who worked here were only trying to live better lives, more productive lives - easier lives. They burned wood because there was an endless supply of it and burning wood was all they ever knew or could foresee. Someone once was very proud to stand before this stove. Someone thought it was beautiful. This stove saved some woman from a life of perpetual toil above an outdoor pit. It helped feed people, this blue stove, and it helped to keep them warm. A family. Maybe a whole generation grew up around this stove. Nobody knew about climate change back then. Nobody could conceive of a hydrogen bomb. They didn't understand mass extinctions or Kalashnikov rifles. Iron and fire were good things, signs of progress, the ease of hardships, the end of suffering, answers to prayers. All the objects in this photograph - the window, the mirror the planks of the walls, all of these things were achieved because we learned how to control fire, to manage heat and flame. And what of the light that shines through this window to illuminate the stove? Fire. The light of a fire 93 million miles away. We owe the very fact that we see to fire. Our greatest evolutionary advancement, our greatest gift - vision, sight - the thing that makes what our brains think of possible. All the result of a very distant, and dying, flame.

Patience because finding a skull is a hard thing to do. And humility because they're skulls - the remnants of the heads' of the dead. A skull is a fascinating and terrifying thing. By itself it is the very symbol of death, yet within one we can see, still, the features that once gave it life, that gave it awareness and voice - its eyes and teeth. Because we associate a skull with death, we see death in bared teeth and eyes hollowed. When the flesh is stripped away we see the basic form of the animal below, we see what we are, a marvel of microscopic systems that assemble to create a form; a form that procreates form. Skulls are not easy to collect, unless you buy them. But that wouldn't be serendipitous, and then they wouldn't be gifts. A skull should be discovered, stumbled upon, won through effort and exertion. And the only way to find them is not to look. This was a fox. It's all that remains of him. It's sitting beside a grave in an old Catholic cemetery where it must have been for months without anyone having noticed it. It died here. I know this because I found it still attached to its spine, amid a cluster of other bones that were its ribs and limbs. So it died here, or was dragged here, and here it sat undisturbed until I happened along accidentally, because I was bored and wanted to go out and use my camera. I came to the cemetery to photograph the monuments of the dead and found this. The head is where it all happens. It is the home of thought and action. It is the one external part of our bodies we can't live without. There was a reason why, in times not so recently past, that power took the heads the powerless. To take a head is to utterly destroy, but more than that, it is to utterly defile. The head on the pike was a symbol of supremacy and a beacon of fear. The skull meant death, but it also means life. The skull is proof of the miracle of life, of intelligent life. The creature whose brain requires such protection is surely worth living, and passing on its crazy formula for a slightly altered duplicate of itself. To house eyes and guard brain, to receive and process the very smell of living, the various sounds of it, the vibrations life makes, all the images, memories, voices and songs that were once contained within, even the fox - what things it alone has seen and heard and tasted and smelled before it met it's end? The skull is a talisman that can tell no story, but all stories. Sunday, December 26, 2010, 11:41 AM What do we see in a curve of steel, a line of chrome, a sweep of glass? That rich lacquer and the depths of red paint? All those specular distortions. The Victorian facades of Main Street, Ft. Bragg, lie in the background and as a faint reflection in the white half of the quarter panel. Those times have faded. We're now firmly in the era of speed and space. The geometry of the classic Detroit iron is all about curves and lines, flares and folds. We see a haughty optimism. An almost narcissistic hubris that would so quickly fall pieces in the decade to come. But look at us here. Proud and patriotic. It was, after all, our boldness and technology that just led a world at war. California is the land of the possible and the land of the dream. Why not join us out here in Bel Air? Swimming pools and movies stars. The platinum triangle where palm trees sway gently in a ocean breeze. This was the fantasy that General Motors was selling at the time when this marvel was created - by the hands of the men and women of Michigan, which is a corruption of an Ojibwe word meaning big water. How fitting. There is nothing more promising as a vast expanse of water. [ view entry ] ( 11604 views ) \| permalink \| ( 3 / 2758 ) Tuesday, December 7, 2010, 11:25 PM There was a time when a physical package would both evoke a feeling and provide for easy accessibility to goods. Form not over function, but in service to it. The glass Coke bottle may have been the most perfect package. Take this beauty I rescued from the ground on Mt. Tamalpais recently. This is a prime example of the so-called hobble-skirt Coke that’s become an indelible American icon. Produced between 1917 and 1965, these aqua, ice blue and green glass bottles are heavy, tactile and fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. This one has the classic city stamp, San Francisco, embossed on the bottom. It’s a 6.5 oz bottle, which means it dates from between 1958 and 1965. One can imagine that for a brief period of time, long before it was tossed aside (probably from the window of a passing car), this indestructible wonder sat nestled in a bed of ice cubes in one of those red galvanized steel coolers you see now only in antique stores. Some rebellious teenager in cuffed dungarees and a white tee-shirt reaches into the cold, dark tomb and plucks out the icy bottle. With a flick of the wrist that is now a lost art he pops the top with that no longer familiar click, snap, fizz, tinkle and tilts his head back for a pull on the real thing – the pause that refreshes. My grandfather, now 92, used to brag about how he’d poor Coke into my baby bottle. I was literally raised on the stuff. It was unfashionable to breast feed back in 1965. For me, Coca-Cola was the closest thing to mother’s milk. There is nothing that evokes a hot summer day like an ice cold Coke. Hold the cool bottle against your brow and lean back on the machine in the shade. At 6.5 ounces this was basically a shooter. A perfect dose of summertime. I shot this with a Canon Digital Elph point-and-shoot and what I love about the photo are the three diagonal lines. You’ve got the beautiful lichen covered stone cutting across the foreground. The wedge of grass behind. The pie slice of the dark forest, and then of course the cobalt sky. I find triangles to be aesthetically pleasing and when I can I frame shots to create as many as possible. I love this photograph. Tell me how it makes you feel.

Driver 8 Member This moved a little while ago By KELLI KENNEDY Associated Press Writer MIAMI - Seven people were arrested Thursday in connection with the early stages of a plot to attack Chicago's Sears Tower and other buildings in the U.S., a federal law enforcement official said. The official told The Associated Press the alleged plotters were mainly Americans with no apparent ties to al-Qaida or other foreign terrorist organizations. He spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to pre-empt news conferences planned for Friday in Washington and Miami. Miami U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta said in a statement that the investigation was an ongoing operation and that more details would be released Friday. Local media reported that agents were raiding a warehouse in Miami's Liberty City section. "There is no imminent threat to Miami or any other area because of these operations," said Richard Kolko, an FBI spokesman in Washington. He declined further comment. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was scheduled to hold a news conference Friday to discuss the raid. A simultaneous news conference was to be held in Miami. Cedric Thomas, an owner of Thomas Produce Market, told The Miami Herald the area around his store was teeming with federal agents. "There is a ton of guys in uniforms moving around, blocking the streets," Thomas said. Several terrorism investigations have had south Florida links. Several of the Sept. 11 hijackers lived and trained in the area, including ringleader Mohamed Atta, and several plots by Cuban-Americans against Fidel Castro's government have been based in Miami. Jose Padilla, a former resident once accused of plotting to detonate a radioactive bomb in the U.S., is charged in Miami with being part of a North American terror cell. Driver 8, Jun 22, 2006 Cadet Guest Yeah, let's talk about Jose Padilla... Judge agrees Padilla terror case â€˜light on facts’ Prosecutors ordered to back up claims defendants conspired to injure, kill Updated: 12:26 a.m. MT June 21, 2006 MIAMI - A federal judge ordered prosecutors to turn over more evidence to back up allegations that Jose Padilla and two co-defendants conspired to kill, injure or kidnap people overseas as part of a global Islamic terrorist network. U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke said Tuesday she agreed with claims made by defense attorneys that the indictment against Padilla and the others is â€œvery light on factsâ€ that would link the defendants to specific acts of terrorism or victims. â€œWe are so shooting in the dark,â€ said Jeanne Baker, one of the attorneys representing defendant Adham Amin Hassoun. â€œThe government has to tell us, what are these acts they conspired to commit?â€ Hassoun, Padilla, Kifah Wael Jayyousi and two others who are in custody overseas are charged with being part of a North American terror support cell that provided money, recruits and supplies to al-Qaida and other violent Islamic extremist organizations. All have pleaded not guilty, with trial scheduled for this fall. Cooke ordered the government to flesh out its charges by providing defense lawyers with names of unindicted co-conspirators, broad descriptions of intended victims of alleged acts of violence and specifics about false statements Hassoun allegedly made about the meaning of phone calls intercepted by the government. Evidence already provided? Prosecutors argued that most of the specifics were being turned over already, mainly in the form of more than 225 key phone intercepts. And there were 80 specific illegal acts alleged in the indictment, said Brian Frazier, an assistant U.S. attorney. â€œWhat is terrorism but a random act of violence? It means anyone could be a victim at any time,â€ Frazier said. Earlier Tuesday, another federal judge heard arguments from Hassoun’s lawyers seeking to suppress evidence seized by the FBI from his Broward County home in 2002, saying the FBI â€œfrightened and intimidatedâ€ his wife before seizing a handgun and other key evidence such as documents in Arabic and videotapes. U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen Brown did not indicate when he would rule the motion. Jailed for 3Â½ years without charge Padilla was designated an â€œenemy combatantâ€ and held for 3Â½ years without charge by the Bush administration shortly after his May 2002 arrest. He was accused then of plotting to detonate a radioactive â€œdirty bombâ€ in a major U.S. city. Padilla was added as a defendant in the Miami terror support cell case last year amid a legal struggle over President Bush’s authority to hold him indefinitely. The Miami indictment does not mention the â€œdirty bombâ€ allegations. © 2006 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Moved to Chicago when he was young. American citizen, no due process. NOT legal. If you got evidence, charge his ass, try his ass and be done with it. But holding an American citizen for 3Â½ years without prosecuting him is NOT legal.

Fenian_Bastard Guest We're going to see a few more of these before the first Tuesday in November. Talk to me when there's an actual trial on any of these guys. UPDATE: From The DOJ release: "On or about December 16, 2005, Narseal Batiste provided the 'al Qaeda representative' (actually the FBI informant) with a list of materials and equipment needed in order to wage jihad, which list included boots, uniforms, machine guns, radios and vehicles," the indictment also said.

__label__wiki	0.679285	0.679285	Match Report - Northern Premier - Saturday August 23rd, 2003 Sat Aug 23rd 2003 Barrow: 0 Solid performance By Debbie Taylor Barrow can have no complaints at this result. Celtic had a bit of luck, but in this game where both sides were quite evenly matched, a bit of luck was always going to turn it. So evenly matched were they, that neither side could force the keeper into a save beyond scooping the ball up as it ran through the defence. Celtic's first half performance was world's away from the second half at Radcliffe, and surpassed either of the two games that had gone before. Heald was introduced immediately into the side, and he is a quality player that gave Celtic a true left side. Foster could have got on the score sheet almost from the kick off, as Mayers lobbed ball right into his path saw him bearing down on goal. Hume and Salmon both converged on him before he could pull the trigger, so his shot when it came was whilst being squeezed and was relatively weak and and an easy catch. But the goal, when it came, was last years' crop. Bowman's threaded through ball found Mayers at the edge of the box, and he twisted inside two players before back heeling it to Potts running in, Potts got to the by-line and pulled a fine low cross back for Mayers who had continued his run. Salmon got there ahead of Mayers, diverting it into his own net. There'd been a lot of good work up to that point, with Warren and Salmon left backpedaling on numerous occasions as Foster and Mayers threaded through them. They hacked at the Celtic line up at every opportunity, and gave away a silly free kick when Hume up-ended Potts while he was going nowhere. Potts took that free kick, curling it around the wall and off the foot of the post for clearing. Celtic continued to be the more dominant of the two teams in the first half, but failed to register on the shots on target category. Fortunately, the same was true of Barrow, with Dootson's saves coming by not moving from the middle of the goal as Stevens and Knight both tried to squeeze balls past the defence, but lacked power. Stevens came the closes for the home side, just before the whistle when he headed a free kick over the bar. In the second half, Barrow pressure was much stronger, and with Caldecott replaced through injury, Bowker was reintroduced to the defence. They held firm, despite crosses and corners being whipped in, and even managed the odd counter or three. Hooper and Norton had been brought on to flood the midfield, and attempt stifle the Barrow pressure. And there was a lot to stifle, several times Barrow came close, Stevens, Rankine and Oliver all came to within varying inches of Dootson's crossbar. However, the defence did such a solid job, that, just before the end of the match, Dootson watched yet another 'shot' sail three feet wide, then performed a comedy dive for the fans. Barrow did get the ball in the back of the net. Maxfield with a long free kick into the box that Hume powered into the back of the net, after ensuring that there was not a Celtic player left standing. The whistle blew for the foul before his head contacted the ball. On the counters, Mayers was left along to hold up the ball, allowing the midfield to flood in around him. This resulted in a couple of needless fouls being committed by Salmon and Hume, one of which indicated another string in the new signing's bow. He can take free kicks from the right hand side. Potts deferred the free kick earned on that side to the newcomer, and though it was deflected by the wall, I think this could be a dangerous ploy - with a free kick taker for either side. And what a free kick taker there is on the left. Potts pushed the ball past Warren at the edge of the box, Warren (the last defender) clattered Potts. A yellow card was shown, but Potts punished him more. He struck an excellent free kick that swerved around the wall and Bishop could only watch it bulge the net. Right before full time, and all of Barrow's pressure had come to naught, particular the strong turning of Rankine, and the strong heading of Hume. Barrow have not had the best of starts to the season, but Celtic would probably have taken 6 points from 9 after seeing the fixture list, though I doubt anybody could have predicted a win away at Barrow, but losing away at Radcliffe.

__label__wiki	0.59308	0.59308	Image Diagnosis Health Care Communication Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Diagnosis of Motor Neuron Disease: Literature Review and Two Case Illustrations Khalid Sawalha, MD1; Eduardo Gonzalez-Toledo, MD2; Omar Hussein, MD3 Motor neuron diseases (MNDs) are a group of devastating neurologic disorders that cause specific damage to the motor neuron cells. The current diagnosis of MND is based on results of the clinical examination and neurophysiologic studies. The length of time of referral to a neuromuscular neurologist and the lack of validated diagnostic criteria can delay diagnosis. Although the role of imaging is currently most useful in excluding other conditions, several attempts to incorporate neuroimaging in the diagnosis of the disease and assessment of progression have shown promising results. We conducted a literature review via searches in PubMed and The Cochrane Database using multiple relevant terms to the topic. Two cases with a challenging diagnosis of MND are described, with a thorough discussion of how the diagnosis was suggested on the basis of magnetic resonance imaging evidence in each case. Advanced magnetic resonance imaging findings can be useful tools that add to the diagnostic criteria of MNDs, especially in cases where reaching a definitive diagnosis is difficult. Such findings might enable clinicians to reach an early diagnosis that can improve the patient’s quality of life and prolong survival. Motor neuron diseases (MNDs) are a group of progressive degenerative neurologic disorders involving both the upper motor neurons (UMN) and/or the lower motor neurons (LMN). Major forms of MND include 1) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which involves both UMN and LMN; 2) primary lateral sclerosis involving mostly UMN; 3) progressive muscular atrophy involving mostly LMN; 4) progressive bulbar palsy involving both bulbar UMN and LMN only; and 5) pseudobulbar palsy.1,2 The most common disorder in the group is ALS. The diagnosis of ALS and other forms of MND is usually delayed.3 Currently, conventional and quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are not included in the diagnostic criteria for MND and are used only to exclude MND mimics. In this article, we review the literature and present 2 illustrative cases of possible MND that were supported by conventional and advanced MRI findings. Etiology and Pathogenesis The etiology and pathogenesis of MNDs are not yet well understood, and it is unclear whether the degeneration starts from the neuron cell and descends to the axons or vice versa.4 Nonetheless, extramotor cerebral pathology with certain genetic linkage is now recognized in 5% to 10% of the cases, and the rest are sporadic cases with no identified genetic component.3,5,6 Diagnostic Challenges Early diagnosis of MNDs can have a major positive impact on quality of life and survival given the benefit of highly specialized palliative care and pharmacologic therapy. It is now well known that early, noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation and placement of a gastrostomy tube improves the quality of life and prolongs survival in patients with ALS.7-12 However, the subtle onset, different disease presentations, and overlapping symptoms with other neurologic disorders make early diagnosis sometimes difficult to achieve. Several studies reported that the time from onset to diagnosis of ALS ranges from 5 months to 15 months.13 Initial misdiagnoses by general practitioners and inappropriate referrals are major reasons for the late diagnoses.14 The low incidence of ALS (median incidence rate, 2.08/100,000 population) and other forms of MNDs makes general practitioners and general neurologists unfamiliar with the variety of disease presentations.15 Multiple studies have shown that MNDs are misdiagnosed by 26% to 42% of neurologists.16-18 Even if MND is suspected, it is difficult for any clinician to tell a patient with progressive weakness or disability, or both, that their diagnosis is only probable or possible. Furthermore, with the recent approval of the intravenous medication, edaravone for the early treatment of ALS in the US19 the validation of diagnostic criteria becomes more important. El Escorial criteria and the modified version20 were developed for the diagnosis of ALS. However, the sensitivity of the criteria in the diagnosis of definite ALS is very low. It is categorized according to the presence of both UMN and LMN signs in 4 body regions: Brain stem (bulbar), cervical (neck and upper extremities), thoracic (trunk and abdominal wall), and lumbosacral (lower back and lower extremities).21 A diagnosis of definitive ALS requires 3 regions of combined UMN and LMN pathology, probable ALS requires 2 regions of combined pathology, and possible ALS requires 1 region of combined pathology or 2 UMN signs in 2 regions. In 2006, Awaji-shima (also called Awaji) criteria integrated electromyographic (EMG) data into the clinical diagnosis.22 These criteria require evidence of both acute and chronic denervation in the absence of sensory nerve conduction abnormalities and the presence of severe motor nerve conduction abnormalities. Evidence of acute denervation includes the presence of fasciculation potentials, fibrillations, and complex repetitive discharges in the weak or wasted muscle. Chronic denervation signs on EMG include increased numbers, duration, and amplitude of the motor unit potentials. A normal sensory nerve conduction study includes normal sensory nerve action potential amplitude and conduction velocities. Severe motor nerve conduction abnormalities include conduction velocity less than 75% of normal, prolonged distal compound muscle action potential latency greater than 150% of normal, and presence of more than 50% distal to proximal compound muscle action potential conduction block. Awaji-shima criteria recommended that EMG abnormalities should be considered equivalent to LMN abnormalities that increase the sensitivity for disease detection.22-24 Both El Escorial and Awaji-shima criteria are used for research purposes but are not used widely in clinical practice. According to Traynor el al,25 56% of 388 patients given a clinical diagnosis of ALS met the definitive or probable diagnosis of ALS using the El Escorial criteria. Another 10% of the patients, who died, did not reach a level of diagnostic certainty greater than possible ALS.25 According to a meta-analysis, there was a 23% increase in the proportion of patients with a definitive or probable ALS diagnosis after using the Awaji-shima criteria that incorporated EMG findings.26 Nonetheless, there remains insensitivity in detecting the UMN pathology in MNDs, which makes their diagnosis challenging at times.27 Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Diagnosis of Motor Neuron Disease Few studies have evaluated MRI as an additive technique that can be used for the diagnosis of MND. Findings in conventional MRI include mainly hyperintensities on the T2-weighted sequences, proton density, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences along the corticospinal tract and hypointensities in the precentral gyrus, called the motor dark line, on T2-weighted images (susceptibility images).28,29 Recently, quantitative MRI techniques such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) have been tested and compared with conventional MRI. DTI has the potential for early detection of the micropathology of the disease before the macropathology shows up on conventional MRI.30 Although more abnormal test measures in DTI were detected in patients with ALS pathology on conventional MRI compared with patients with an ALS diagnosis without conventional MRI pathology, the studies showed variable statistical significance compared with control groups. The DTI measures did not correlate with the duration of the disease, probably because of the different disease pathologies, locations, and durations. Probably the most statistically significant DTI measures were the fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (calculated at the motor cortex and the posterior limb of the internal capsule), and the reconstructed tractography of the cerebrospinal tract at the centrum semiovale extending to the motor cortex.31,32 We conducted an evidence-based search for relevant studies of MND using PubMed from the National Library of Medicine and The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. The following search term combinations were used to find and review relevant articles in the literature: Motor neuron disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, primary lateral sclerosis, progressive muscular atrophy, pseudobulbar palsy, progressive bulbar palsy, MRI, cerebral MRI, brain MRI, cervical MRI, advanced MRI, conventional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, susceptibility weighted imaging, three-dimensional T1 imaging, T2 imaging, FLAIR, fluid attenuated inversion recovery imaging, tractography, functional MRI, Awaji criteria, El Escorial criteria, and early diagnosis. We did not apply a filter for date of publication. We reviewed all articles that discussed the role of MRI in MNDs. This review of the literature includes 2 challenging cases for illustration. No institutional review board approval was obtained because the reported cases do not meet the criteria for human research. Both patients gave informed consent for publication without disclosure of personal information. Conventional MRI sequences included T2-weighted imaging, FLAIR imaging, and susceptibility-weighted imaging. Advanced MRI sequences were 3-dimensional T1-weighted imaging, DTI, and tractography. A 63-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and adequately treated hypothyroidism presented with 6 months of progressive bilateral lower extremity weakness and difficulty swallowing. Her physical examination revealed diffuse muscle weakness in all extremities without atrophy or fasciculations. Although an upgoing plantar reflex was noted on the right side, there were no clear UMN findings otherwise (normal upper extremity reflexes and absent lower extremity reflexes). Results of the nerve conduction study demonstrated a moderate diffuse axonal polyneuropathy. The EMG study findings revealed chronic and active motor denervation out of proportion to the polyneuropathy suggestive of MND, but some diagnostic uncertainty remained because of the presence of less than 70% motor nerve conduction velocities on the nerve conduction study and the lack of any clinical history that explained such neuropathy. Because of the presence of confusing results of nerve conduction studies alongside the abnormal EMG results, the treating neurology team raised a concern of missing a treatable diagnosis such as autoimmune neuropathy. Conventional MRI with T2-weighted susceptibility images showed a hypointense rim in the right precentral gyrus (Figure 1). The DTI results showed decreased FA in the left Brodmann area 4 (motor) and in the body of corpus callosum bilaterally with bilateral motor cortical thinning on T1-weighted 3-dimensional reconstruction (Figures 2 and 3; Table 1). When combined with EMG, the DTI findings confirmed LMN lesions. A diagnosis of MND (ie, ALS) became more likely because of the presence of both UMN and LMN lesions. A diagnosis of polyneuropathy was then extremely unlikely or irrelevant. A 52-year-old woman presented with recurrence of bilateral lower extremity weakness 6 months after thoracic spine evacuation of syringomeningocele that had caused lower extremity myelopathy but had resolved postoperatively. She also complained of hoarseness of voice, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, intermittent ptosis and diplopia, urinary retention, and fecal incontinence. Her physical examination revealed she had UMN findings, such as a brisk jaw jerk, hyperreflexia, and bilateral arm spasticity not explained by the conventional MRI results. The EMG findings did not reveal new or evolving LMN changes. The possibility of primary lateral sclerosis superimposed on her other medical conditions was raised clinically but was difficult to tease out given the confounding variables of the case. She had no evidence of other autonomic findings or orthostatic hypotension. Test results for other causes, such as myasthenia gravis, were normal. Conventional MRI did not show any abnormality (Figure 4), but T1-weighted 3-dimensional reconstruction images displayed bilateral motor cortical thinning (Figure 5). Tractography showed asymmetric truncation of motor fibers with low FA along the corticospinal tract (Figure 6; Table 1). These findings were located in the motor cortex and extended down the corticospinal tract, indicating a selective UMN lesion. Advanced MRI results helped confirm the clinical finding of UMN pathology in 3 different anatomical regions. This abnormality was confined to the motor cortex and the corticospinal tract as illustrated in Figures 5 and 6. Absence of any lesion on the repeat conventional MRI made the correlation of her new symptoms to the old pathology (syringomeningocele) extremely unlikely. On the basis of the advanced MRI findings, the diagnosis of primary lateral sclerosis became more likely. The results of the conventional and advanced MRI imaging in our 2 patients were variable but overall were consistent with dispersed UMN pathology not explained by other diseases. In Case 1, because of the presence of confusing results of nerve conduction studies (< 70% motor nerve conduction velocities) with the abnormal EMG results, the treating neurology team considered the possibility of missing a treatable diagnosis such as autoimmune neuropathy. Eventually, the MRI results confirmed degeneration along the fibers of the corticospinal tract and the motor cortex, thus increasing the possibility of an ALS diagnosis. In Case 2, because this was a challenging case, the neurology team suggested using other advanced modalities to try to narrow the differential diagnosis. Although the patient’s symptoms were anatomically overlapping, a chronologic understanding of her symptoms was crucial. Initially, the patient had lower extremity myelopathic manifestations with EMG degenerative changes. This condition resolved after surgery. The patient came back describing new progressive myelopathic manifestations involving the lumbar, cervical, and bulbar regions without LMN signs that started 6 months after resolution of her initial symptoms. A subsequent spine MRI revealed no new lesions. A repeat EMG showed resolution of the denervation signs. Findings on advanced MRI sequences suggested that a diagnosis of primary lateral sclerosis was more likely. Although a retrograde atrophy of the corticospinal tract secondary to a thoracic syrinx was a possibility, it was rather unlikely given the long period of resolution of the lower extremity symptoms and resolution of signs of denervation on the EMG after surgery, with no evidence of new lesion on the most recent MRI. Nonetheless, it was even less probable that the developmental abnormalities that caused the thoracic syrinx initially might be causing her new symptoms because the patient was asymptomatic in the bulbar and cervical region before the development of the thoracic syrinx and because the new MRI did not show any lesion progression. A similar diagnostic approach was followed by Matsunaga et al32 before they diagnosed ALS in a patient with new-onset myelopathic weakness in the upper extremities. In their case, it was accompanied by C4 to C7 spinal foraminal narrowing. Primary lateral sclerosis presents early with only UMN signs; LMN signs appear several years later. For this reason, diagnosis in the early stages depends on the absence of LMN signs. The disease is slowly progressive. Such challenges make the diagnosis difficult for many clinicians, which might contribute to the reported rarity of the disease. The diagnosis of primary lateral sclerosis is thus mainly clinical so far, making it likely a diagnosis of exclusion. Other diagnoses that need to be excluded in patients with primary lateral sclerosis are diffuse neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple system atrophy and spinocerebellar ataxia. These possibilities further stress the importance of MRI, which in our Case 2 did not show diffuse cerebral or cerebellar atrophy. Clinically, multiple system atrophy was less likely in our case because of the absence of orthostatic hypotension that indicates autonomic instability, and spinocerebellar ataxia was less likely because of the absence of ataxia. Although MNDs involve pathologies in both the UMN and LMN with variable degrees of involvement, it is unknown which pathology occurs first. Is it an anterograde process starting as neuronopathy and spreading downstream, or is it a retrograde process starting as axonopathy and then extending upstream to the motor neuron? It is possible that both hypotheses are true and that different or combined forms of the disease occur. Also, the anatomical location where the disease begins is still unknown.31 Nevertheless, other motor areas such as the corpus callosum, especially the middle and posterior parts, are involved in the pathology and are now well recognized.33 A new hypothesis in the pathogenesis of the disease has been proposed, which suggests an imbalance between the excitatory-inhibitory signals in the interneuron on the basis of some magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies.3,34,35 DTI is a promising quantitative MRI technique for the diagnosis of MND. This technique detects the diffusion of proton particles freely within the tissues in multiple plains while intact myelin provides the maximum restriction of such diffusion, leading to a higher FA and lower mean diffusivity.36-38 Decreased FA and increased mean diffusivity in the cerebrospinal tract in primary lateral sclerosis, ALS, and progressive muscular atrophy could potentially be used as a marker for early and clinically silent UMN involvement. Inconsistent mean diffusivity values in some studies might be attributed to coexisting gliosis along with myelin/axonal degeneration that also can limit proton diffusivity. If this is true, normal mean diffusivity and decreased FA might indicate longer duration of the disease because of restrictive gliosis.39-41 Decreased FA also has been described in the corpus callosum, premotor white matter, prefrontal white matter, temporal white matter, and cervical cord. Nevertheless, a significant direct correlation between the amount of decrease in FA and disease progression has been noticed in small studies. The amount of corpus callosum involvement was independent of the degree of UMN involvement clinically in these small studies,42-44 and other studies showed truncated subcortical motor fibers on tractography.45 Changes on magnetic resonance spectroscopy such as decreased N-acetylaspartate (NAA), NAA/creatinine, NAA/choline, NAA/creatine + choline, and NAA/myoinositol along the cerebrospinal tract from the cortex to the cerebral peduncle have been described with variable sensitivity and specificity. These changes also correlated with the disease severity. The NAA/myoinositol marker is the most sensitive and specific.46,47 Three-dimensional T1-weighted reconstructed MRI images have shown cortical thinning in the primary motor cortex with or without clinical cognitive impairment. Also, temporal and parietal thinning has been described in patients with associated dementia and possible genetic linkage. Results using a surface-based rather than voxel-based technique were more statistically consistent with these findings.48,49 A small, controlled study in 2016 showed no difference in cortical thickness or DTI metrics between patients with LMN-predominant MND and healthy controls.50 Cervical spinal cord MRI showed evidence of thinning of the cord diameter compared with controls.50 Also, a decrease in the FA on DTI was noticed, especially in the distal cervical cord.50 Assessment of the cervical cord requires more sophisticated MRI machines and is technically challenging to assess in most medical centers.51 Regarding functional MRI, a few studies have shown decreased connectivity in the sensorimotor areas, but other study results showed increased connectivity. This is probably because it depends on the type of neuron affected and the timing along the disease course when the functional MRI was done. The increased connectivity might be caused by a compensatory process for the associated structural damage or because of direct loss of the inhibitory interneurons.52 It is important to note that the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of advanced MRI findings have not been studied on a large scale. Nonetheless, incorporating such findings with the current diagnostic criteria and studying its effect on shortening the time needed to reach a diagnosis of MND and on outcomes must be studied as well. Because adding the electrophysiologic results to the LMN clinical criteria for MND diagnosis has improved the sensitivity of the criteria, it is possible that neuroimaging might add to the sensitivity of detecting UMN pathology. According to the revised criteria of the World Federation of Neurology Research Group on Motor Neuron Diseases,53 conventional MRI studies are not required in patients with clinically definite disease with bulbar or pseudobulbar onset. However, in those with probable or possible ALS, routine brain and/or spinal cord MRI can be useful in excluding several ALS mimics.53 According to the European guidelines,53 and although cerebrospinal tract hyperintensities or a T2-weighted hypointense rim in the precentral gyrus can support a preexisting suspicion of MND, the specific search of these abnormalities for the purpose of making a firm diagnosis is not recommended. We encourage the establishment of new clinical trials using the different MRI measures to gain additional insight into disease pathophysiology and into the value of these techniques in a longitudinal assessment of the diagnosis and progression of MNDs. As illustrated in our 2 challenging cases, findings on the conventional MRI sequences (T2-weighted imaging, FLAIR imaging, and susceptibility-weighted imaging) and advanced MRI sequences (3-dimensional T1-weighted imaging, DTI, and tractography) solidified the MND diagnosis. The intent of this review is to raise the awareness of these advanced MRI findings to serve as a backup tool when a diagnosis of MND is in doubt. By having these tools available, the time to reach a definitive or more affirmative diagnosis can be shortened in doubtful cases. Although it is not the intent of this article to change the guidelines or amend the diagnostic criteria, our results point toward the need for more advanced criteria for the diagnosis of MNDs. Applying early supportive measures and pharmacologic therapies will improve the quality of life and survival in patients with MNDs, and thus early diagnosis is preferable. Primary care practitioners and general neurologists may have limited experience with MNDs, and a delay in diagnosis may lead to worse outcomes. Recent studies and reviews have shown that a combined approach between all imaging techniques (especially DTI and functional MRI) might have stronger sensitivity and specificity. Nevertheless, we recommend the development of standardized criteria that include clinical findings, EMG findings, and MRI findings to increase the sensitivity of disease detection.

Hello I'm Vivienne McNeny, English to the core and I've just put the kettle on so while its boiling let me tell you a little about myself. I was raised in a convent boarding school while my parents diplomatically hosted cocktail parties at foreign Embassies. After performing in operettas as leading men and prima ballerinas I read child psychology at London Uni; flipped my speedboat while racing in the channel; taught windsurfing and water ski-ing in Southern Andalucia; an American fell in love with me in London and I took up homeschooling in Texas before our children were too old to object.

November 7, 2008 manoj 4 Comments This article was published in the International Journal of Modern Physics D (IJMP–D) in 2007. It soon became the Top Accessed Article of the journal by Jan 2008. Although it might seem like a hard core physics article, it is in fact an application of the philosophical insight permeating this blog and my book. This blog version contains the abstract, introduction and conclusions. The full version of the article is available as a PDF file. Journal Reference: IJMP-D Vol. 16, No. 6 (2007) pp. 983–1000. The softening of the GRB afterglow bears remarkable similarities to the frequency evolution in a sonic boom. At the front end of the sonic boom cone, the frequency is infinite, much like a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB). Inside the cone, the frequency rapidly decreases to infrasonic ranges and the sound source appears at two places at the same time, mimicking the double-lobed radio sources. Although a “luminal” boom violates the Lorentz invariance and is therefore forbidden, it is tempting to work out the details and compare them with existing data. This temptation is further enhanced by the observed superluminality in the celestial objects associated with radio sources and some GRBs. In this article, we calculate the temporal and spatial variation of observed frequencies from a hypothetical luminal boom and show remarkable similarity between our calculations and current observations. A sonic boom is created when an object emitting sound passes through the medium faster than the speed of sound in that medium. As the object traverses the medium, the sound it emits creates a conical wavefront, as shown in Figure 1. The sound frequency at this wavefront is infinite because of the Doppler shift. The frequency behind the conical wavefront drops dramatically and soon reaches the infrasonic range. This frequency evolution is remarkably similar to afterglow evolution of a gamma ray burst (GRB). Figure 1:. The frequency evolution of sound waves as a result of the Doppler effect in supersonic motion. The supersonic object S is moving along the arrow. The sound waves are “inverted” due to the motion, so that the waves emitted at two different points in the trajectory merge and reach the observer (at O) at the same time. When the wavefront hits the observer, the frequency is infinity. After that, the frequency rapidly decreases. Gamma Ray Bursts are very brief, but intense flashes of rays in the sky, lasting from a few milliseconds to several minutes, and are currently believed to emanate from cataclysmic stellar collapses. The short flashes (the prompt emissions) are followed by an afterglow of progressively softer energies. Thus, the initial rays are promptly replaced by X-rays, light and even radio frequency waves. This softening of the spectrum has been known for quite some time, and was first described using a hypernova (fireball) model. In this model, a relativistically expanding fireball produces the emission, and the spectrum softens as the fireball cools down. The model calculates the energy released in the region as — ergs in a few seconds. This energy output is similar to about 1000 times the total energy released by the sun over its entire lifetime. More recently, an inverse decay of the peak energy with varying time constant has been used to empirically fit the observed time evolution of the peak energy using a collapsar model. According to this model, GRBs are produced when the energy of highly relativistic flows in stellar collapses are dissipated, with the resulting radiation jets angled properly with respect to our line of sight. The collapsar model estimates a lower energy output because the energy release is not isotropic, but concentrated along the jets. However, the rate of the collapsar events has to be corrected for the fraction of the solid angle within which the radiation jets can appear as GRBs. GRBs are observed roughly at the rate of once a day. Thus, the expected rate of the cataclysmic events powering the GRBs is of the order of — per day. Because of this inverse relationship between the rate and the estimated energy output, the total energy released per observed GRB remains the same. If we think of a GRB as an effect similar to the sonic boom in supersonic motion, the assumed cataclysmic energy requirement becomes superfluous. Another feature of our perception of supersonic object is that we hear the sound source at two different location as the same time, as illustrated in Figure 2. This curious effect takes place because the sound waves emitted at two different points in the trajectory of the supersonic object reach the observer at the same instant in time. The end result of this effect is the perception of a symmetrically receding pair of sound sources, which, in the luminal world, is a good description of symmetric radio sources (Double Radio source Associated with Galactic Nucleus or DRAGN). Figure 2:. The object is flying from to through and at a constant supersonic speed. Imagine that the object emits sound during its travel. The sound emitted at the point (which is near the point of closest approach ) reaches the observer at before the sound emitted earlier at . The instant when the sound at an earlier point reaches the observer, the sound emitted at a much later point also reaches . So, the sound emitted at and reaches the observer at the same time, giving the impression that the object is at these two points at the same time. In other words, the observer hears two objects moving away from rather than one real object. Radio Sources are typically symmetric and seem associated with galactic cores, currently considered manifestations of space-time singularities or neutron stars. Different classes of such objects associated with Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) were found in the last fifty years. Figure 3 shows the radio galaxy Cygnus A, an example of such a radio source and one of the brightest radio objects. Many of its features are common to most extragalactic radio sources: the symmetric double lobes, an indication of a core, an appearance of jets feeding the lobes and the hotspots. Some researchers have reported more detailed kinematical features, such as the proper motion of the hotspots in the lobes. Symmetric radio sources (galactic or extragalactic) and GRBs may appear to be completely distinct phenomena. However, their cores show a similar time evolution in the peak energy, but with vastly different time constants. The spectra of GRBs rapidly evolve from region to an optical or even RF afterglow, similar to the spectral evolution of the hotspots of a radio source as they move from the core to the lobes. Other similarities have begun to attract attention in the recent years. This article explores the similarities between a hypothetical “luminal” boom and these two astrophysical phenomena, although such a luminal boom is forbidden by the Lorentz invariance. Treating GRB as a manifestation of a hypothetical luminal boom results in a model that unifies these two phenomena and makes detailed predictions of their kinematics. Figure 3:.The radio jet and lobes in the hyperluminous radio galaxy Cygnus A. The hotspots in the two lobes, the core region and the jets are clearly visible. (Reproduced from an image courtesy of NRAO/AUI.) In this article, we looked at the spatio-temporal evolution of a supersonic object (both in its position and the sound frequency we hear). We showed that it closely resembles GRBs and DRAGNs if we were to extend the calculations to light, although a luminal boom would necessitate superluminal motion and is therefore forbidden. This difficulty notwithstanding, we presented a unified model for Gamma Ray Bursts and jet like radio sources based on bulk superluminal motion. We showed that a single superluminal object flying across our field of vision would appear to us as the symmetric separation of two objects from a fixed core. Using this fact as the model for symmetric jets and GRBs, we explained their kinematic features quantitatively. In particular, we showed that the angle of separation of the hotspots was parabolic in time, and the redshifts of the two hotspots were almost identical to each other. Even the fact that the spectra of the hotspots are in the radio frequency region is explained by assuming hyperluminal motion and the consequent redshift of the black body radiation of a typical star. The time evolution of the black body radiation of a superluminal object is completely consistent with the softening of the spectra observed in GRBs and radio sources. In addition, our model explains why there is significant blue shift at the core regions of radio sources, why radio sources seem to be associated with optical galaxies and why GRBs appear at random points with no advance indication of their impending appearance. Although it does not address the energetics issues (the origin of superluminality), our model presents an intriguing option based on how we would perceive hypothetical superluminal motion. We presented a set of predictions and compared them to existing data from DRAGNs and GRBs. The features such as the blueness of the core, symmetry of the lobes, the transient and X-Ray bursts, the measured evolution of the spectra along the jet all find natural and simple explanations in this model as perceptual effects. Encouraged by this initial success, we may accept our model based on luminal boom as a working model for these astrophysical phenomena. It has to be emphasized that perceptual effects can masquerade as apparent violations of traditional physics. An example of such an effect is the apparent superluminal motion, which was explained and anticipated within the context of the special theory of relativity even before it was actually observed. Although the observation of superluminal motion was the starting point behind the work presented in this article, it is by no means an indication of the validity of our model. The similarity between a sonic boom and a hypothetical luminal boom in spatio-temporal and spectral evolution is presented here as a curious, albeit probably unsound, foundation for our model. One can, however, argue that the special theory of relativity (SR) does not deal with superluminality and, therefore, superluminal motion and luminal booms are not inconsistent with SR. As evidenced by the opening statements of Einstein’s original paper, the primary motivation for SR is a covariant formulation of Maxwell’s equations, which requires a coordinate transformation derived based partly on light travel time (LTT) effects, and partly on the assumption that light travels at the same speed with respect to all inertial frames. Despite this dependence on LTT, the LTT effects are currently assumed to apply on a space-time that obeys SR. SR is a redefinition of space and time (or, more generally, reality) in order to accommodate its two basic postulates. It may be that there is a deeper structure to space-time, of which SR is only our perception, filtered through the LTT effects. By treating them as an optical illusion to be applied on a space-time that obeys SR, we may be double counting them. We may avoid the double counting by disentangling the covariance of Maxwell’s equations from the coordinate transformations part of SR. Treating the LTT effects separately (without attributing their consequences to the basic nature of space and time), we can accommodate superluminality and obtain elegant explanations of the astrophysical phenomena described in this article. Our unified explanation for GRBs and symmetric radio sources, therefore, has implications as far reaching as our basic understanding of the nature of space and time.

Let me tell you why. The Big Bang theory says that the whole universe started from a “singularity” — a single point. The first question then is, a single point where? It is not a single point “in space” because the whole space was a single point. The Discovery channel would put it fancifully that “the whole universe could fit in the palm of your hand,” which of course it could not. Your palm would also be a little palm inside the little universe in that single point. The second question is, if the whole universe was inside one point, what about all the points around it? Physicists would advise you not to ask such stupid questions. Don’t feel bad, they have asked me to shut up as well. Some of them may kindly explain that the other points may be parallel universes. Others may say that there are no “other” points. They may point out (as Steven Weinberg does in The Dreams of a Final Theory) that there is nothing more to the north of the North Pole. I consider this analogy more of a semantic argument than a scientific one, but let’s buy this argument for now. The next hurdle is that the singularity is in space-time — not merely in space. So before the Big Bang, there was no time. Sorry, there was no “before!” This is a concept that my five year old son has problems with. Again, the Big Bang cosmologist will point out that things do not necessarily have to continue backwards — you may think that whatever temperature something is at, you can always make it a little colder. But you cannot make it colder than absolute zero. True, true; but is temperature the same as time? Temperature is a measure of hotness, which is an aggregate of molecular speeds. And speed is distance traveled in unit time. Time again. Hmmm…. I am sure it is my lack of imagination or incompleteness of training that is preventing me from understanding and accepting this Big Bang concept. But even after buying the space-time singularity concept, other difficulties persist. Firstly, if the whole universe is at one point at one time, one would naively expect it to make a super-massive black hole from which not even light can escape. Clearly then, the whole universe couldn’t have banged out of that point. But I’m sure there is a perfectly logical explanation why it can, just that I don’t know it yet. May be some of my readers will point it out to me? Second, what’s with dark matter and dark energy? The Big Bang cosmology has to stretch itself a bit with the notion of dark energy to account for the large scale dynamics of the observed universe. Our universe is expanding (or so it appears) at an accelerating rate, which can only be accounted for by assuming that there is an invisible energy pushing the galaxies apart. Within the galaxies themselves, stars are moving around as though there is more mass than we can see. This is the so called dark matter. Although “dark” signifies invisible, to me, it sounds as though we are in the dark about what these beasts are! The third trouble I have is the fact that the Big Bang cosmology violates special relativity (SR). This little concern of mine has been answered in many different ways: One answer is that general relativity “trumps” SR — if there are conflicting predictions or directives from these two theories, I was advised to always trust GR. Besides, SR applies only to local motion, like spaceships whizzing past each other. Non-local events do not have to obey SR. This makes me wonder how events know whether they are local or not. Well, that was bit tongue in cheek. I can kind of buy this argument (based on curvature of space-time perhaps becoming significant at large distances), although the non-scientific nature of local-ness makes me uneasy. (During the inflationary phase in the Big Bang theory, were things local or non-local?) Third answer: In the case of the Big Bang, the space itself is expanding, hence no violation of SR. SR applies to motion through space. (Wonder if I could’ve used that line when I got pulled over on I-81. “Officer, I wasn’t speeding. Just that the space in between was expanding a little too fast!”) Speaking of space expanding, it is supposed to be expanding only in between galaxies, not within them, apparently. I’m sure there is a perfectly logical explanation why, probably related to the proximity of masses or whatnot, but I’m not well-versed enough to understand it. In physics, disagreement and skepticism are always due to ignorance. But it is true that I have no idea what they mean when they say the space itself is expanding. If I stood in a region where the space was expanding, would I become bigger and would galaxies look smaller to me? Note that it is necessary for space to expand only between galaxies. If it expanded everywhere, from subatomic to galactic scales, it would look as though nothing changed. Hardly satisfying because the distant galaxies do look as though they are flying off at great speeds. I guess the real question is, what exactly is the difference between space expanding between two galaxies and the two galaxies merely moving away from each other? One concept that I find bizarre is that singularity doesn’t necessarily mean single point in space. It was pointed out to me that the Big Bang could have been a spread out affair — thinking otherwise was merely my misconception, because I got confused by the similarity between the words “singularity” and single. People present the Big Bang theory in physics pretty much like Evolution in biology, implying the same level of infallibility. But I feel that it is disingenuous to do that. To me, it looks as though the theory is so full of patchwork, such a mathematical collage to cook up something that is consistent with GR that it is hard to imagine that it corresponds to anything real (ignoring, for the moment, my favorite question — what is real?) But popular writers have embraced it. For instance, Ray Kurzweil and Richard Dawkins put it as a matter of fact in their books, lending it a credence that it perhaps doesn’t merit. big bang theoryblack holegalaxylittle universePhysicsrelativitysingularity conceptSteven Weinberg Debates, Physics, SFN - Science Forums Universe – Size and Age March 26, 2007 manoj 1 تبصرہ,,en,نفاست ایک فرانسیسی ایجاد ہے,,en,جب بات پرورش کرنے کی ہو تو فرانسیسی ماسٹر ہوتے ہیں,,en,اور زیادہ اہم بات,,en,نفیس فروخت,,en,کچھ مہنگے کے بارے میں سوچو,,en,اور اس لئے بہترین,,en,برانڈز,,en,امکانات یہ ہیں کہ ذہن میں آنے والے آدھے سے زیادہ فرانسیسی ہوں گے,,en,اور باقی نصف واضح طور پر فرانسیسی آواز وانابز ہو گی,,en,نفاست میں یہ عالمی تسلط تھائی لینڈ کے جسامت اور آبادی والے چھوٹے ملک کے لئے متاثر کن ہے,,en,آپ انڈونیشیا میں تیار کردہ ایک ہینڈ بیگ کس طرح لیتے ہیں؟,,en,ایک ایسے نام پر طمانچہ جس کا استعمال صرف مٹھی بھر خریدار ہی کرسکتے ہیں,,en,اور اسے منافع کے مارجن میں فروخت کریں,,en,آپ یہ کام نفیس ادا کرتے ہوئے کرتے ہیں,,en,ایک آئیکن ہونے کی وجہ سے دوسروں کو صرف ہونے کی خواہش ہوسکتی ہے,,en,لیکن کبھی حاصل نہیں ہوتا ہے,,en,تمہیں معلوم ہے,,en,کمال کی طرح,,en I posted this question that was bothering me when I read that they found a galaxy at about 13 billion light years away. My understanding of that statement is: At distance of 13 billion light years, there was a galaxy 13 billion years ago, so that we can see the light from it now. Wouldn’t that mean that the universe is at least 26 billion years old? It must have taken the galaxy about 13 billion years to reach where it appears to be, and the light from it must take another 13 billion years to reach us. In answering my question, Martin and Swansont (who I assume are academic phycisists) point out my misconceptions and essentially ask me to learn more. All shall be answered when I’m assimilated, it would appear! 🙂 This debate is published as a prelude to my post on the Big Bang theory, coming up in a day or two. Mowgli 03-26-2007 10:14 PM I was reading a post in http://www.space.com/ stating that they found a galaxy at about 13 billion light years away. I am trying to figure out what that statement means. To me, it means that 13 billion years ago, this galaxy was where we see it now. Isn’t that what 13b LY away means? If so, wouldn’t that mean that the universe has to be at least 26 billion years old? I mean, the whole universe started from one singular point; how could this galaxy be where it was 13 billion years ago unless it had at least 13 billion years to get there? (Ignoring the inflationary phase for the moment…) I have heard people explain that the space itself is expanding. What the heck does that mean? Isn’t it just a fancier way of saying that the speed of light was smaller some time ago? swansont 03-27-2007 09:10 AM Originally Posted by Mowgli (Post 329204) I mean, the whole universe started from one singular point; how could this galaxy be where it was 13 billion years ago unless it had at least 13 billion years to get there? (Ignoring the inflationary phase for the moment…) Ignoring all the rest, how would this mean the universe is 26 billion years old? I have heard people explain that the space itself is expanding. What the heck does that mean? Isn’t it just a fancier way of saying that the speed of light was smaller some time ago? The speed of light is an inherent part of atomic structure, in the fine structure constant (alpha). If c was changing, then the patterns of atomic spectra would have to change. There hasn’t been any confirmed data that shows that alpha has changed (there has been the occasional paper claiming it, but you need someone to repeat the measurements), and the rest is all consistent with no change. Martin 03-27-2007 11:25 AM To confirm or reinforce what swansont said, there are speculation and some fringe or nonstandard cosmologies that involve c changing over time (or alpha changing over time), but the changing constants thing just gets more and more ruled out.I’ve been watching for over 5 years and the more people look and study evidence the LESS likely it seems that there is any change. They rule it out more and more accurately with their data.So it is probably best to ignore the “varying speed of light” cosmologies until one is thoroughly familiar with standard mainstream cosmology.You have misconceptions Mowgli General Relativity (the 1915 theory) trumps Special Rel (1905) They don’t actually contradict if you understand them correctly, because SR has only a very limited local applicability, like to the spaceship passing by:-) Wherever GR and SR SEEM to contradict, believe GR. It is the more comprehensive theory. GR does not have a speed limit on the rate that very great distances can increase. the only speed limit is on LOCAL stuff (you can’t catch up with and pass a photon) So we can and DO observe stuff that is receding from us faster than c. (It’s far away, SR does not apply.) This was explained in a Sci Am article I think last year Google the author’s name Charles Lineweaver and Tamara Davis. We know about plenty of stuff that is presently more than 14 billion LY away. You need to learn some cosmology so you wont be confused by these things. Also a “singularity” does not mean a single point. that is a popular mistake because the words SOUND the same. A singularity can occur over an entire region, even an infinite region. Also the “big bang” model doesn’t look like an explosion of matter whizzing away from some point. It shouldn’t be imagined like that. The best article explaining common mistakes people have is this Lineweaver and Davis thing in Sci Am. I think it was Jan or Feb 2005 but I could be a year off. Google it. Get it from your local library or find it online. Best advice I can give. Mowgli 03-28-2007 01:30 AM To swansont on why I thought 13 b LY implied an age of 26 b years:When you say that there is a galaxy at 13 b LY away, I understand it to mean that 13 billion years ago my time, the galaxy was at the point where I see it now (which is 13 b LY away from me). Knowing that everything started from the same point, it must have taken the galaxy at least 13 b years to get where it was 13 b years ago. So 13+13. I’m sure I must be wrong.To Martin: You are right, I need to learn quite a bit more about cosmology. But a couple of things you mentioned surprise me — how do we observe stuff that is receding from as FTL? I mean, wouldn’t the relativistic Doppler shift formula give imaginary 1+z? And the stuff beyond 14 b LY away – are they “outside” the universe?I will certainly look up and read the authors you mentioned. Thanks. To swansont on why I thought 13 b LY implied an age of 26 b years:When you say that there is a galaxy at 13 b LY away, I understand it to mean that 13 billion years ago my time, the galaxy was at the point where I see it now (which is 13 b LY away from me). Knowing that everything started from the same point, it must have taken the galaxy at least 13 b years to get where it was 13 b years ago. So 13+13. I’m sure I must be wrong. That would depend on how you do your calibration. Looking only at a Doppler shift and ignoring all the other factors, if you know that speed correlates with distance, you get a certain redshift and you would probably calibrate that to mean 13b LY if that was the actual distance. That light would be 13b years old. But as Martin has pointed out, space is expanding; the cosmological redshift is different from the Doppler shift. Because the intervening space has expanded, AFAIK the light that gets to us from a galaxy 13b LY away is not as old, because it was closer when the light was emitted. I would think that all of this is taken into account in the measurements, so that when a distance is given to the galaxy, it’s the actual distance. I will certainly look up and read the authors you mentioned.

__label__wiki	0.618272	0.618272	First Dance - Event Review What: First Dance When: 18 March 2019 Where: The Supper Room, Arts House Stories and performances by: Adolfo Aranjuez, Ash Flanders, Danny Katz, Brodie Lancaster, wāni Le Frère, S.J Norman, Raina Peterson, Niharika Senapati Raina Peterson One of the important things Arts House has been doing for a long time now is acknowledging and acting on the importance of conversation around and about art as well as being a vehicle for the creation thereof. The leadership has changed and so it is reasonable to assume focuses and emphases for the organisation will change. With the incoming of Emily Sexton, the ideas and conversations surrounding art creation remain a priority and with this, her first Dance Massive festival, Sexton has partnered with The Wheeler Centre to bring us First Dance. First Dance sees 8 artists of various disciplines gather to respond to the provocation of the title. Each have 10 minutes to tell their story their way. An incredible and excitingly diverse group of writers, performers and dancers have been curated and every 10 minute story is shockingly and exhileratingly different and yet surprisingly relatable. How can the stories of all of these people be speaking to my experience of life? I don't know, but somehow they did. Perhaps it is because all of them gave us the gift of the personal and the honest. They allowed their souls to speak and move which allowed ours to hear and see. Many of the stories were funny, but some where serious and even heart rending. Senapati was the first to present her piece called 'Dedication to Magic and Silliness'. In her introduction she told us she would be "just a human wiggling in front of other humans" and she was right. Her jiggling, however, showed a beautiful and fun story of a girl growing up in dance. From those silly jigglings as a toddler, through ballet training, to contemporary dance Senapati weaves back and forth across time making us laugh at artlessness and pause in awe of perfection almost in the very same moment. Katz was up next. In 'Boogie Wonderland' he had us belly laughing through his recollections of his first school dance. "She was using dance and fun in the same sentence!...Dance feels like something you should do in private, like going to the toilet." Katz manages to remind us all of our teenage awkwardness as well as a burgeoning sense of self realisation as, after embarassing himself completely in front of a girl he remembers his dad's advice and discovers why dancing is fun. Lancaster followed with another teenage nightmare. The teenage clubbing scene. Riffing off the meme 'dance like noone is watching' Brodie points out that "it is impossible to think about dance without considering our bodies". As she makes us laugh in shared pain at the mistakes made in preparing for that ever elusive slow dance with a boy - and the let down of the experience when it finally happens - Brodie reminds us that in small towns everybody is watching all the time. Her point, in the end, is "The greatest lie perpetuated is there are people who don't care what anyone else thinks". The Hollywood chick flicks are a lie. Dance like everyone is watching! Peterson told us about their experience as a 5 year old about to dance their first Diwali festival in regional Victoria in 'Green'. In a beautiful outfit made by their mother (because Indian clothes weren't available) Peterson joined the celebrations and through the dance becomes the birthplace for and the radiation of green. Despite a violent childhood Peterson discovered "From dance I can grow all beauty from my hand." Bouncing up on stage next was Aranjuez. Aranjuez's art is a "collision of poetry and dance" but tonight after a brief introduction he gave us his first dance about him. At another festival not too long ago it was brought to his attention that his art has revolved around love and as such is always about others. As a response he let us see his "first dance for me". Popping and locking across the stage it became clear what the difference was. You could see a focus and attention on self. It has something to do with the hands. Rather than reaching out, they explored and celebrated and framed Aranjuez, not the world outside of him... A deceptively understated Flanders came on stage next to take us through the signature events and moves which made him believe he was a dancer...and then understand he wasn't. Flanders had us laughing unmercifully as he meandered through the running man, the hand jive, and a time step not even he would repeat in public in '5, 6, 7, 8!'. With the learning of the running man at an Arabian Nights dance ("...because it is the 80s and noone questions the optics...") he discovers his super power - "The power to make people look at you". Thus begins a journey to musical theatre school and 2 years working at a theatre restaurant in a job he had sworn years earlier he would never do. And thus he shares with us the sad truth the reality of life will inevitably put us where we never wanted or imagined we would be. It is just one of those humbling life lessons we have to go through to grow up I guess. The tone of the evening took a more serious tone when Le Frère took over the stage with his poem 'Grandma'. Le Frère is a New Zealander whose family had emigrated from the Congo. His poem talks about the time he had the opportunity to reconnect with his grandparents. He did not speak their language but his grandmother loved to dance and so she tried to connect with him in that way. As sad and beautiful as that is, he then reveals she had Parkinsons. For a person so embodied with the need to dance this is a tragedy almost to great to imagine. Le Frère's story was so poignant it really did bring a tear to my eyes. The evening ended with Norman reading us the first 700 words of the first chapter of her new book 'Codex Extasis' which explores "The ecstatic body and the radical potentials". As Norman says, "I write because my body must be heard." She believes any movement a body makes can rightfully be called dance and that all dance is a potential for revolt. For Norman "Dancing bodies are the great library..." of human experience and that there is no first dance and there is no last. I admit, I can't wait to read the book when it is published. I really loved the format and curation of First Dance and hope this is something which will continue across the Arts House programming. Because there are no long speeches and no MC (the performers just jump on stage one after the other) it feels short and sharp and the approaches in practice and ideas is exciting. The diversity of the content matched the diversity of the artists and it is one of those rare moments in public arenas when we really do get to see who actually lives in Australia, what their lived experiences are, and where current thinking lies.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9575
__label__wiki	0.983631	0.983631	Experts could overrule 'Boaty McBoatface' name choice for polar ship Jonny Dymond talks to the man who came up with 'Boaty McBoatface' Boaty McBoatface instigator 'sorry' When internet polls are hijacked Name sought for new UK polar ship The name of a new polar research vessel will be chosen by a panel of experts, even if the public overwhelmingly votes to call it Boaty McBoatface. Lord West, ex-First Sea Lord, said he was rather proud "silly names" had been suggested but hoped none were chosen. The Natural Environment Research Council had urged people to name its ship in a competition, which saw Boaty McBoatface easily topping the poll. The final name will be selected by the NERC, according to competition rules. Boaty McBoatface is currently leading with more than 27,000 votes, while the second place pick trails with around 3,000. The names Pingu, Usain Boat and It's Bloody Cold Here have also been put forward. Lord West told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It's a typical thing of the Brits going mad - normally silly season, rather than this time of the year." He said the NERC had only expected "marine research fans" to get involved. State-of-the-art "I think I would probably go for an Arctic or Antarctic explorer - that would be appropriate - bearing in mind this is a key bit of research where we are probably leading the world, and we should all be very proud of it. "I'm rather proud that we have silly names going around, but I hope we don't select one." The state-of-the-art £200m vessel will be launched in 2019 to replace Royal Research Ships (RRS) Ernest Shackleton and James Clark Ross. Launching the competition to name it last week, the NERC said it was looking for something inspirational - something that would exemplify the ship's work. "We are excited to hear what the public have to suggest and we really are open to ideas," the chief executive said. On Sunday, the poll website crashed under the weight of people trying to cast their votes. 'Very British thing' James Hand, a former BBC Radio Jersey presenter, was behind the suggestion of Boaty McBoatface but says he has since apologised to the NERC. "I've actually been speaking a bit to the people behind the website. I've apologised profusely. "What I keep saying to people is, this is actually nothing to do with me. I made the suggestion but the storm that's been created, it's got legs of its own. "I just feel it's a very British thing, which a lot of people have pointed out." Julia Maddock, acting associate director of communications and engagement at the NERC, responded to Mr Hand's apology on Twitter, saying her organisation was "loving it". In another tweet, she wrote: "We wanted people to talk about our ship and get involved. We are delighted!" Mr Hand said he was "still thoroughly rooting" for his idea to be chosen but understood the public's choices were only ever a suggestion. In second place, with more than 3,000 votes, is RRS Henry Worsley. Worsley died trying to make the first unassisted solo crossing of the Antarctic in January. Another of the more serious suggestions is RRS David Attenborough. The 15,000-tonne, 128m-long vessel is being built at Cammell Laird on Merseyside. 21 MARCH 2016, JERSEY 21 MARCH 2016, UK 17 MARCH 2016, SCIENCE & ENVIRONMENT More UK stories MPs warn on growth of UK jihadists Not enough is being done to prevent people leaving the UK to join Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, a group of MPs warns.

__label__cc	0.521474	0.478526	Night on Earth Is a Ride Worth Taking in Art House, The Criterion Collection by Jason Sheppard August 24, 2019, 2:00 pm We all know and love those movies which take place over the course of one single day such as The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Reservoir Dogs. Then there are movies which take place over the course of a single night; movies like George Lucas’s American Graffiti and Martin Scorsese’s After Hours. And Jim Jarmusch’s Night on Earth. Night on Earth tells five different stories in different parts of the world over the course of one frigid, winter night. The stories are complete onto themselves meaning; these are five stories of people with no apparent ties to another. The only commonality between the main characters in these stories is that they are either a taxi driver or taxi passengers. Some will develop an odd respect for each other by the end of their cab ride, some will hate each other, and one will not even survive the journey. Night on Earth consists of five different stories in five different countries, but they all take place in the same world—the world of Jim Jarmusch. Segment 1 – Los Angeles The movie starts in Los Angeles where we meet young cab driver Corky (Winona Ryder) driving a 1981 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Wagon, who picks up movie casting director Victoria Snelling (Gena Rowlands) at Los Angeles International Airport. Victoria takes Corky up on her offer to drive her to Beverly Hills where she is to meet some movie bigwigs who are at a loss in casting a current project. Victoria is taken aback by the foul-mouthed (“fuckin-A” is Corky’s go-to response to most everything), gum-chomping, barely five-foot driver (who uses two LA directory phone books to sit on in order to see above the wheel). Throughout their drive, Victoria senses something in Corky with her “I yam what I yam” attitude toward who she is and where she’s at in life. When Corky drops Victoria off in front of a very 90210-ish fancy home, the casting director asks her if she’d be interested in becoming a movie star. Corky explains that’s not for her and that her plan of becoming a mechanic is all that matters. Victoria is astounded that the young cab driver is more excited over her $20 tip rather than acting in movies. True to her word, Corky is who she is and she won’t change for anything. Corky drives away while Victoria drags her alligator skin luggage inside the fancy home to try to find the right girl to be in her movie. Even though she might have just driven off to pursue her dream of becoming a mechanic. Segment #1 – Los Angeles. Corky (Winona Ryder) meets Victoria (Gena Rowlands) in Night On Earth (1991) Segment 2 – New York The dreams of the main character in segment 2 of Night on Earth are much simpler than those in the previous story. A tired and freezing New Yorker named YoYo (Giancarlo Esposito) just wants to catch a cab in Manhattan so he can get home—to Brooklyn. This dream, while simple, sure isn’t going to be easy. After several failed attempts, an old clunker of a 1983 Ford LTD Crown Victoria, sputters up beside YoYo with an unusual driver —a newly transplanted German immigrant named Helmut Grokenberger. Helmut is not the most capable of drivers and even if he was, he has no idea where he’s even driving to. New York streets are as strange to him as the streets of Germany would be to YoYo who is as New York as New York gets. There’s only one solution: YoYo becomes the driver, and Helmut becomes the passenger. YoYo is delighted by Helmut, especially when the older man explains that back home, he performed in the circus. This is going to be a memorable ride for the two of them. And for Helmut, it becomes even more memorable. After driving across the Brooklyn Bridge and back on home turf, YoYo spots his sister-in-law Angela (a hilarious Rosie Perez) out walking by herself. YoYo stops the car and literally picks up Angela (by force) and drops her into the cab. Angela screams, curses at and hits YoYo until he’s able to drive off. Helmut is captivated by the fiery spirit of this tiny, curly-haired spit-fire. YoYo is over it though. He’s more than used to it. When YoYo reaches his home, Helmut returns to the driver’s seat, but unlike Corky, Helmut has no idea where he’s going—geographically or life-wise. Helmut drives away trying to find the right direction. Segment #2 – New York. YoYo (Giancarlo Esposito) and Helmut (Armin Mueller-Stahl) entertain Angela (Rosie Perez) in Night On Earth (1991) Segment 3 – Paris Now Night on Earth leaves the U.S. In Paris, a young unnamed cab driver (Jarmusch favorite Isaach De Bankolé) is driving around two rowdy, intoxicated African diplomats who give the driver a hard time over his birth home on the Ivory Coast. After some taunts too many, the driver orders the diplomats out—before they’ve had a chance to pay the fare. The driver is just looking for a passenger who won’t give him a hard time, which he believes to be a young blind woman looking for a car. The woman (Béatrice Dalle, Betty Blue), also nameless, is not going to let the driver enjoy this ride in peace either as she points out that he’s taking a wrong detour to her destination. The driver is transfixed by his passenger however and begins asking her what living blind is like. She’s not going to let this driver play with her as a source to satisfy his curiosity, however. She tells him she does all sorts of ordinary things such as dance to music, go to movies and make love. The driver doesn’t understand how those things can be enjoyable if she can’t see. She’s not going to make him understand if that’s the case. To her, he’s the blind one. When the woman is dropped off, the driver watches as she makes her way along a canal before he heads off—into another car he claims he didn’t see. It seems that the cabbie is the blind one in the situation. The two drivers argue while the blind woman, hearing the commotion, smiles. Segment #3 – Paris: A cab driver (Isaach De Bankolé) drives a blind passenger (Béatrice Dalle) in Night on Earth (1991). Segment 4 – Rome Rome during the middle of the night is a very quiet place as the streets tend to be completely empty. That is not this case however, as Night on Earth’s fourth segment features a speedy, motor-mouthed cab driver named Gino (Roberto Benigni). Gino will speak anytime, anywhere, even while driving his 1976 Fiat 128 alone. Zipping through the narrow side streets of Rome in his tiny car, Gino is almost trying to keep up the pace with his tongue which, while delivering a torrent of words, never stops making “zzzzip” noises. Gino is as familiar with his city as YoYo is of his and unlike the unnamed driver in the Paris segment, Gino could drive around blind and still arrive where he intended. Gino’s only passenger is a priest (Paolo Bonacelli) who really has no idea what to make of the talkative Gino (who likes to wear dark sunglasses at night for some reason). Gino feels this is a good time for confession (usually it’s the other way around) to his passenger and then proceeds to regale the poor unwell, elder priest with tales of his sexual history from a young boy until the present. These incidents include starting out by experimenting with large, ripe pumpkins, then a sheep, and the kicker—a descriptive ordeal where Gino confesses to having an affair with his sister-in-law. The more Gino delves into his escapades, the sicker the old priest becomes until the man’s heart gives out. Gino has shocked the priest to death. Gino drops the dead priest off a bench outside a cathedral and leaves him with a gift—his sunglasses before driving off before daylight. Gino doesn’t even mind that he lost a fare or his glasses. The priest was a captive audience, and Gino has made his confession. Unto another night. Segment #4 – Rome. Gino (Roberto Benigni) makes the ride very uncomfortable for his passenger, a priest (Paolo Bonacelli) in Night on Earth (1991) Segment 5 – Helsinki Segment five is Night on Earth’s most solemn episode as the tragic figure in this story is cab driver, Mika (in a touching performance by late Finnish actor Matti Pellonpää). Mika, driving a 1973 Volvo 144 spends the hour between night and daylight riding in circles around an empty building parking lot, when he gets a call to pick up three drunks in front of a tavern which closed for the night (or morning). The three men (Kari Väänänen, Sakari Kuosmanen, and Tomi Salmela) are barely even able to stand, yet they manage to pile into Mika’s cab. Mika asks why one of them is dead asleep and the other two explain that their companion lost his job, car, wife, and daughter the previous day. Mika counters that things can be worse which stuns his awake passengers. Mika then recounts a harrowing story involving his wife and their newborn baby that by story’s end, has the men in tears which they cannot stop. When the men reach their destination, they offer Mika their sincerest goodbyes and head up the narrow, snow-covered road to their homes where the asleep passenger finally comes to and manages to pay the fare before he literally, stumbles out the door onto the cold ground. It is now daylight and Mika drives off while the man sits alone on the road watching the world come alive around him. He seems in no hurry to head inside as we recall there being nobody home now to greet him. Night has ended and it’s a new day. Twelve hours between five stories featuring characters who know that when the night approaches, they have to do it all again. Segment #5 – Helsinki. Mika (Matti Pellonpää) recounts a tragic tale of loss to his three passengers in Night on Earth (1991) Jarmusch has said he chose these particular locations as it would offer him the chance to work with certain actors he admired. At the time (early ’91) the biggest name star to appear in this film would have been Winona Ryder who obviously worked for very little money to work with the director as well. Other stars such as Rowlands and Perez also do some wonderful work with their roles even though their screen-time is not substantial. Perez especially is such a comic force on-screen you want to see her pop up in another segment just for the fun of it (what I wouldn’t give to see a movie based on YoYo’s and Angele’s home life). Taxis and the same night aren’t the only common factor connecting the stories in Night on Earth; the music by Jarmusch regular and favorite Tom Waits is terrific. Waits starts the movie off with a rousing version of “Good Old World” and ends it with a tender waltz version of the same song which includes some of my favorite song lyrics ever: “I remember when she held my hand, we walked home alone in the rain. How pretty her mouth, how soft her hair. Nothing would ever be the same.” Night on Earth is a movie about strangers, and by the end of it, most of them remain strangers. Unlike The Breakfast Club, there are no bonds between these characters made for life or even a night. Once the ride is over everybody goes on their way and the drivers ride around until they find their next passengers—which of course is another five stories. It’s a little bit of a shame Jarmusch never made a follow-up some years later with another set of actors, telling another five stories of cab drivers in other parts of the world. Imagine a Chicago segment, one in Seattle, one in Newfoundland, Canada, one in Tokyo or one in India. Who knows? Maybe, just maybe the passengers in Night on Earth could find themselves in another need of a cab in some other part of the globe and have another story to tell? Except for the dead priest in the Rome segment. I hope he wasn’t left out on that bench very long before somebody found him.

__label__cc	0.619734	0.380266	Morning Rant I was just over at "Amazon.com" looking at upcoming DVD releases, and noticed next week, they are putting out a three-disc collectors edition of "The Wizard of Oz". Not going to rant about that, because even though I own the single disc I bought in 1999, I'm going to buy the new release, because of the plethora of bonus features. My rant this morning is going to focus on a single review on Amazon by an uninformed moron named Benjamin Kidman, who wrote: "AWFUL,,AWFUL EDITION!!!!, October 6, 2005 Reviewer: Benjamin Kidman - See all my reviews Comes to DVD, as single disk or double disk or 3 disks. None of these versions is WIDSCREEN such as AWFUL!!! I would understand if this movie were straight to DVD, studios would make it standard screen. But this epic classic movie made a lots money and was in theaters back then now they come out on DVDS this much hard work they did on these version DVD, How come NO WIDESCREEN????? These days people more and more buying widescreen TVS, included me, I have 2 TVS and both widescreen, NOT many studies really make movies in full screen anymore a lots of them even straight to DVDS they in widescreen format!. I always loved this classic movie, now they come up this AWFUL version .For this important matter NOT going to buy any of these version sets. All of them "FULL SCREEN FORMAT".C" Copied and pasted exactly as it was posted on Amazon. Now, granted, sometimes I don't spell correctly or use proper grammer, especially under "certain conditions", but the fool also neglected to do research before posting his review. "The Wizard of Oz" was NOT filmed in widescreen format, it was filmed "standard" format. If he wants a widescreen version, he must want one with everyones heads and legs chopped off! A very rare, FEW movies up to 1939 were filmed in a widescreen format, one that comes to mind is "The Big Trail" from 1930, filmed in a format called "Grandeur"... saw it a few times on Fox Movie Channel. I guess next he'll be looking for a widescreen version of "Gone With The Wind" (although there was actually a widescreen "version" released to theaters in the early 1960's, which was cropped and reformatted from the original standard version by MGM). Amazon just needs to have an "idiot filter". Oh well, off to adventure out on the 70mm version of "The Job Trail" for a few hours... /rant over Two Procedures, One Day Went to Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport Monroe Medical Center this morning for my pre-op testing for the two procedures I'm having Monday.

Doyle Senate Republicans are considering granting additional money to conduct the November elections as state and local officials plead for more help to meet the challenges posed by the pandemic. The issue of whether to boost funding above the $400 million already allotted by Congress is set to be discussed at a hearing Wednesday by the Senate Rules and Administration Committee. “State and local election officials face a unique set of challenges with the COVID-19 pandemic,” Committee Chairman Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said in a statement announcing the hearing. “We need to be sure they have the resources and, importantly, the flexibility to address those challenges in ways that best fit their needs.” Photo by Stefani Reynolds/Bloomberg Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) is convening a hearing that will discuss the need for more election funding. Election officials could use more federal money to pay for postage, paper and printing of mail-in absentee ballots expected to be used extensively in the election, according to Ben Hovland, chairman of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. If more money is approved, “we can get it out quickly,” said Hovland, whose agency is in charge of distributing election grants. “I am hopeful” Congress will act to provide election money in the next bill dealing with coronavirus relief, he said. Hovland spoke in a phone interview after a commission hearing earlier this month in which state and local officials from both parties said they need more money to deal with election changes forced by the pandemic, including increasing voting by mail while still maintaining in-person polling sites. Those states that haven’t already purchased automated mail sorting systems to tally paper ballots will have to hire temporary workers and rent warehouses to count ballots, Hovland said. And how the counting process goes will directly affect how long it takes to get election results. New Pandemic Package The Senate hearing is taking place as leaders are negotiating a new coronavirus relief package that Congress plans to consider before taking an August recess. Blunt’s openness to additional funding comes despite President Donald Trump’s frequent comments that more voting by mail would lead to fraud and hurt Republicans. He repeated the charge, without evidence, in a recent Fox News interview. Blunt has opposed efforts by Democrats, led by Rules Committee ranking member Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), to impose federal requirements that states expand opportunities for voting by mail and early voting to prevent spreading the virus at in-person polling places. Klobuchar also has called for waiving any matching requirements for grants to help with election costs, a point supported by Hovland. He said a 20% matching requirement for the last round of $400 million in election grants in the CARES Act (Public Law 116-136) slowed the process of getting money out to states. The Rules Committee is set to hear from Republican election officials from Missouri, Tennessee, and West Virginia, as well as from Kristen Clarke, president of the National Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. The Lawyers’ Committee has been monitoring problems caused by the pandemic in recent primary elections, including long lines to vote due to fewer polling places and problems with the delivery and return of mail-in absentee ballots.

__label__wiki	0.674632	0.674632	Stop Virus Snark, Republicans Told as Pandemic Enters Campaign March 17, 2020 9:52 AM By Emily Wilkins The campaign arm for House Republicans has seen enough attempts at snide and sarcastic humor about the coronavirus that it’s told members and candidates to stop it. “At times like this you need to ask yourself if your press release or snarky comment are in poor taste,” the National Republican Congressional Committee told members in a weekend memo. The memo covered a range of topics, including limiting in-person interactions between campaign staff and voters and being sensitive to donors who suffered financial loses due to the pandemic. No specific incident led to the language on snark, said an NRCC spokesman, but the memo was sent out the day Republican National Committee said its chair, Ronna McDaniel, tested for the virus after coming down with flu-like symptoms. Also that day, Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) tweeted that the only thing missing from the House-passed coronavirus aid package (H.R.6201) was “free toilet paper for all.” The tweet has since been deleted. (Photographer: Al Drago/Bloomberg) The memo also reminded Republicans to pass along information approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the Health and Human Services Department. On Sunday, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) encouraged people to go out and eat at bars and restaurants – advice in contrast with the CDC’s latest guidelines. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee also sent out guidance to members and candidates on how to deal with Covid-19, as the disease caused by the virus is known. Both parties’ campaign arms are adamant their candidates will still run strong campaigns, just over phone calls and video chat services. A DCCC memo obtained by Bloomberg Government told members and staffers to increase the amount of time on the phone in anticipation of lost revenue from in-person events. “Republicans are not slowing down, and it will be more important than ever to make sure that we stay on pace,” the DCCC said. Perpetual Politicization Both Democrats and Republicans are using the coronavirus to attack their opponents, directly and indirectly. For Democrats, the virus aligns with their larger message on healthcare. The DCCC memo advises members and candidates to “talk about the importance of health care access and affordability.” The DCCC has also pointed to the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus to target seven House Republicans. The 25-second ads, in English and Spanish, tell viewers that Trump would rather “pad the pockets of drug manufacturers than provide access to an affordable coronavirus vaccine.” The NRCC’s memo blasted Democrats for “shamelessly politicizing this pandemic” and reminded Republicans to not fund-raise off it directly. On Monday, the NRCC called the Democratic candidate in California’s 25th District special election, Christy Smith, “inappropriate and irresponsible” for soliciting donations in an email announcing the cancellation of in-person campaign events. Kunal Atit, Smith’s deputy campaign manger, defended using the coronavirus epidemic as part of campaigns to explain to voters the difference in candidate’s policies toward insurance coverage. “The two different paths would have profoundly different impacts on this crisis as well as public health issues over the long term,” he said.

__label__wiki	0.948581	0.948581	The Case for Jimmy Butler to Join the Miami Heat Jimmy Butler is a cookie-cutter Heat-type player. But is pursuing the star worth the potential drawbacks? USA Today/TripleOT Illustration Five summers ago, Jimmy Butler and some friends rented a house in Houston. Leave it at that, and it sounds like the makings of a buddy comedy, in which a few guys hang out and drink some brews while getting into some zany, southern shenanigans. But knowing Jimmy Butler, that was far from the case. Then a member of the Chicago Bulls, Butler wasn’t vacationing. He sequestered himself in an attempt to focus on working out. From dawn ’til dusk it was basketball. No cable, no internet. Just weights, reps and healthy living. “I wanted to be so good at the game that we didn’t have cable, we didn’t have the Internet,” Butler told Sports Illustrated. “Whenever we got bored, all we would do is go to the gym. We’d eat, sleep and go to the gym. We’d go three times a day because we didn’t have anything else to do. We were sitting on the couch, looking at each other, saying, ‘What the hell are we going to do all day?’” That type of manic obsession is a regular character trait among NBA players, but for Butler it was necessary to cultivate. A junior college turned Division I prospect, Butler entered the league a mid-range selection. The Chicago Bulls selected him 30th in the 2011 NBA Draft. Though he made the full-time roster, he rode the bench, watching head coach Tom Thibodeau’s tight knit rotations from afar. He made the starting lineup in 2013–14 thanks to his defensive tenacity — he averaged almost two steals per game that year — but couldn’t help his team escape the first round of the Playoffs. So, the summer of 2014 became Butler’s chance to make a difference. He changed his diet and upped his game. He saw his gains the following season. Butler made the 2015 NBA All-Star Game, earned his second All-Defensive team nod, and was deemed the NBA’s most improved player. He couldn’t lead the Bulls past the LeBron James driven Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the Playoffs, but the season was a resounding success for the Tomball, Texas native. Butler was on the path to NBA stardom. Everything about Butler’s story resonates with the Miami Heat, who are touted as one of the teams that could snag him this summer. Butler almost moved to Miami last September, when the Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves were engaged in talks to ship the brash forward to South Beach. That exchange would have likely included Miami’s Josh Richardson, a wingman that is suspiciously similar to a young Butler (albeit a better shooter). Though the deal was void — Minnesota wanted too much from an already gouged Heat squad — Butler’s stayed interest is reassuring for a team that has struggled to regain championship contention. It seems every season another player is interested in joining Miami’s ranks. Team president Pat Riley and head coach Erik Spoesltra have created a hardworking basketball enclave within the vices of South Beach. Gordon Hayward and Kevin Durant were the biggest free agents in recent history to take a liking to Miami, though Miami’s trademark culture is regularly praised. Butler is cut from the same cloth that’s woven through Miami’s roster; he’s durable and embraces personal challenges (remember when he led the Timberwolves’ third string players in a practice victory against the team’s starters?). Miami wouldn’t have to retool his body from the ground up or deal with temper tantrums. He’d butt heads with his teammates and coach, inevitably, but it’d all be in the name of growth and competition. ESPN on YouTube The problem arises when it comes to how the deal gets done. Butler is a free agent and Miami can’t afford to sign him outright. A sign-and-trade would have to happen, though that would subject Miami to the NBA’s hard cap, limiting the front office in its ability to move players for the foreseeable future. And, even if Miami did acquiesce to a sign-and-trade, who would they give up? Hassan Whiteside could satisfy a deal given his current max contract, though the likelihood of Philadelphia uniting BFFs Whiteside and Joel Embiid are slim. Some combination that includes Justise Winslow or Richardson is more likely, though investing in a soon-to-be 30-year-old version of a player Miami already has would draw criticism far and wide. Still, Butler has drawn at least one cosign from the Heat fandom. As is the case with most pre-Free Agency recruiting, Heat star and retiree Dwyane Wade recently hinted at the possibility of Butler joining his old squad. Wade had no reason to tag Butler — though his cheeky side would suggest he knows exactly what he doing — but he did, and now all we can do is speculate. Would he un-retire to play with his fellow Marquette University alum and former Bulls teammate? Would this push Miami back into the spotlight in the East? (Probably a firm “no” to both of these). What are the Heat to do? Is Butler the game changing piece to help Miami reclaim Eastern Conference dominance? Probably not, given the team has more issues to work out, like its reoccurring hatred of scoring in the third quarter. Adding Butler might bring some flair back to South Beach, but without a long-term plan and roster flexibility, the Heat would end up right where they started. Me, Being Bad at Football.

CLINICAL FINDINGS WHEN TO REFER ESSENTIALS OF DIAGNOSIS Rapid, regular tachycardia presenting classically with 2 to 1 block in the AV node and ventricular heart rate of 150 beats/min. ECG shows “sawtooth” pattern of atrial activity (rate 300 beats/min). Stroke risk should be considered equivalent to that with atrial fibrillation. Catheter ablation is highly successful and is considered the definitive treatment for typical atrial flutter. Atrial flutter is less common than fibrillation. It may occur in patients with structurally normal hearts but is more commonly seen in patients with COPD, valvular or structural heart disease, ASD, or surgically repaired congenital heart disease. Patients typically present with complaints of palpitations, fatigue, or mild dizziness. In situations where the arrhythmia is unrecognized for a prolonged period of time, patients may present with symptoms and signs of heart failure (dyspnea, exertional intolerance, edema) due to tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy. The ECG typically demonstrates a “sawtooth” pattern of atrial activity in the inferior leads (II, III, and AVF). The reentrant circuit generates atrial rates of 250–350 beats/min, usually with transmission of every second, third, or fourth impulse through the AV node to the ventricles (eFigures 10–80, 10–81, and 10–82). eFigure 10–80. Various ECG patterns produced by atrial flutter. A: A trial flutter showing the typical sawtoothed pattern is present. The atrial rate is unusually slow at about 220/min. The flutter waves deform the ST segments, mimicking ST elevation (arrows). Careful attention to the variation in QRST morphology should provide a clue to the correct diagnosis. The ventricular rate shows group beating characteristic of type I (Wenckebach) second-degree block of the flutter impulses. Type I atrioventricular (AV) block of flutter impulses that occurs within the AV node has no clinical significance since the AV nodal block often occurs in response to rapid atrial rates. B: F lutter waves superimposed upon QRS complexes deform them (arrows), mimicking an intermittent intraventricular conduction delay. Careful measurement of the atrial rate provides evidence that the wave deforming the downstroke of the QRS complexes is a flutter wave. Note the unusually slow flutter rate of about 190/min. C: F lutter waves having the same amplitude as the QRS complexes (arrows) mimic a period of ventricular asystole. Simultaneous recording of other leads will more clearly define the QRS complexes. D: Flutter waves superimposed upon the downstrokes of the QRS complexes (arrows) mimic ST-segment depression. E: Flutter waves occurring at the ends of the QRS complexes (arrows) mimic a Qr configuration and an intraventricular conduction delay. Since the ventricular rate is regular at 150/min, the diagnosis of atrial flutter with 2:1 AV conduction should always be strongly considered.

We give visibility to that energy with our knowledge and experience, and by using traditional tools like a paintbrush or a digital tool like computer graphics software and 3D printing. That is art.” Taketo’s characters are steeped in contemporary Japanese subculture like manga and anime. The characters stem from an animistic belief / feeling rooted in ancient Japanese Jōmon culture. Animism is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. “We all had an animistic feeling in ancient times. The idea everything in nature has energy or spirit inside can be found anywhere in the world. I’m not just talking about Japanese culture. It’s under the hidden layer of all humanity.” Taketo believes that’s the reason why Japanese characters, irrational and kawaii, are widely accepted in the world. “Geometo”, Geometry is the closest way to describe divinity.

Papers are selected from over 10,000 published each week from most peer reviewed journals. A step forward for understanding transport behaviors during material gap membrane distillation desalination processes Membrane distillation (MD) is a thermally driven separation process in which separation is driven by phase change. In this system, a hydrophobic porous membrane acts as a liquid barrier but only allows vapor to go through to achieve separation. Low-grade energy sources, such as renewable energy and industrial waste heat can be utilized for MD processes. To this end, air gap membrane distillation (AGMD) has been widely studied because of its advantages of simple structure, high thermal efficiency, and easy modification. The main structural feature of AGMD is the air gap. AGMD has small sensible heat flux and high thermal efficiency because of the large thermal resistance of the air. As a result, mass transfer resistance increases in the air gap leading to a small permeate flux of AGMD. Therefore, while maintaining high thermal efficiency, increasing the permeate flux by changing the internal structure of the gap becomes an important branch of AGMD. Recent publications have reported that permeate flux increases when sand or DI water fills the gap and decreases when polyurethane (PE) sponges or polypropylene (PP) mesh fills the gap. Alternatively, filling the gap with high thermal conductivity material such as aluminum woven mesh, aluminum foam material, or finned copper plate can significantly increase the permeate flux. In the past, the permeate flux was directly deduced by the thermal conductivity of the fillers. Unfortunately, the influence of gap parameters on the transport behavior in MGMD was rarely studied. On this account, researchers from Dalian University of Technology in China: Dr. Jingcheng Cai, Dr. Hongchao Yin and Professor Fei Guo investigated the suitability of using various materials (e.g. PE mesh, stainless steel beads, and glass beads) as fillers in the air gap. Their work is currently published in the research journal, Desalination. In their approach, the effects of filler size, effective thermal conductivity, and wettability of the filler were studied and evaluated in detail. Generally, the goal of the executed research was to provide a reference for the selection and further optimization of the gap parameters in MGMD under various operating conditions. The results demonstrated that the properties and structures of the fillers are important factors for the transport behavior during the membrane distillation processes. The void volume fraction of the gap was seen to be dominated by the size of the fillers and their packing structure. The authors noted that membrane distillation performance was related to the thermal conductivity of the fillers and the void volume fraction of the gap. In summary, the transport behavior in the gap was studied by using PE mesh, glass beads, and stainless-steel beads as the filler. The study showed that the permeate flux was mainly determined by filler material and packing structure in the gap. Additionally, the bead diameter and wettability of the fillers were shown to have an insignificant effect on the permeate flux when the filler material remained the same. In a statement to Advances in Engineering, Professor Fei Guo mentioned that their work provided a practical approach to optimize membrane distillation performance in real MD operations. Fei Guo is a professor of Engineering at Dalian University of Technology in Dalian, China. He received a Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from Brown University, USA, in 2012. Guo then became a postdoctoral associate in Massachusetts Institute of Technology, before joining Dalian in 2015. His research focus is mainly on the creation and application of novel membranes and the transport analysis in membrane distillation. Guo was awarded the Brian Kelly Award by the British Carbon Society for the excellence in carbon science and technology in 2012. Jingcheng Cai received his Ph.D. in Thermal Engineering from Dalian University of Technology in 2020. He studied the small scale transport phenomena in membrane distillation processes under the supervision of Prof. Fei Guo.

As always, politics in Andhra Pradesh has been very interesting. With the entry of Power Star and Jana Sena Party Chief, Pawan Kalyan and his willingness to contest elections in 2019, has added more fuel to the current permutations. As per the latest Lagadapati and Prashant Bhushan’s survey, TDP would return to power in 2019 easily. But things could change very quickly in politics and surveys will fail. We have seen that in the last elections in UP. The wave of elections can potentially change in just few weeks. TDP Governanace Factor: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu asserted numerous times that his party, TDP will win the elections with a thumping majority. The TDP party definitely may have an edge as the party is largely relying on the development plank and its achievements during its tenure. Naidu recently launched ‘Intintiki Telugu Desam’ programme which is seen as a game plan charted out for the 2019 elections. As per this programme, local MLAs and leaders visit their respective constituencies to interact with the people and educate them with the development schemes of the government. Amaravati Factor Chandrababu Naidu has been working actively on Andhra Pradesh’s new capital city project and holds the promise of being a city in India. But it is highly impossible to build a city in just two years. There are many visible projects which were started and may complete partially in the next two years. Naidu was able to successfully move the Secretariat from Hyderabad to Amaravati. This is one of the major browny points for the incumbent govermment. Caste and religion will play a major role Caste and religion will play a major role in deciding the final outcome in Andhra politics. Andhra has majority OC and SC population and traditionally OBC groups voted TDP and SC groups supported Congress and now YSRCP. Kammas,Reddys and Kapus dominate the political arena. Kammas always elected TDP and Reddy’s with YSRCP with few exceptions. Kapu community liked NTR in the past but after PRP, they voted for TDP as Pawan Kalyan endorsed TDP in 2014 elections. Kapu community will be deciding factor in 2019 elections. As of now they are with TDP and if Pawan kalyan backs TDP in 2019 elections TDP’s win would be a cakewalk. If Pawan kalyan goes to election without any pre election coalition , the votes will split and mostly both Janasena and TDP would loose and YSRCP would be the winner. If both TDP and Janasena gets into into pre election coalition then they might form the government together. Considering the fact that Pawan kalyan has not endorsed Jagan for now the coalition of YSRCP and Janasena is not a possibility. But since there are two more years and Indian politics of 21st century changes in the last second anything could happen and everybody has equal chances to win and loose. YSRCP YSR Congress Party supremo and Leader of the opposition, YS Jagan is a very strong leader and has the charisma to win over the hearts of the people. He narrowly missed in 2014 elections as he was riding with the wave. But things changed in the last minute, but YSRCP gained a respectable 45.5% vote share. Post elections, people debated over Jagan’s political immaturity but he has done a pretty decent job as a opposition leader. He has been highlighting TDP government failure to implement election manifesto such as failure to implement farmer’s loan waiver, dwacra loan waiver, inability to get special status, lands acquisition in Amaravati. Jagan recently roped in political strategist, Prashant Kishor as a consultant to preparing strategies to take on the ruling TDP in 2019 elections. But TDP is painting negative image of YSRCP supremo and reminding people that Jagan was involved in many CBI charge sheets as a A1 accused. BJP Factor: BJP strongman Amit Shah has Andhra in his party’s road map. His recent visit to Vijayawada, was primarily to make the party ready for 2019 elections with or with-out alliance with the ruling party, TDP. BJP is planning to grow independently and working towards his target 350 programme. As the indications available, BJP is looking for the strong leader from Kapu community to lead AP state, who can support the party at the grass root level. But for the time being, TDP-BJP relationship looks strong and will continue its march to 2019 elections. What People Want: Andhra, after bifurcation needs industries, hospitals, airpots and investments. Currently Andhra has very old infrastructure and no major airport. People see opportunity with TDP as Chandrababu Naidu is experienced and has a brand image with industrialists around the world, feel that he can lead them to Andhra’s bright future. On the other hand, there are fears that YSRCP, if it comes to power in 2019, it may reverse the baby steps that TDP took to jump-start the state development. There is a high chance of TDP winning in 2019, but even if he did not, BJP may win at the center. Next year is very crucial for both TDP and YSRCP parties. While both parties are trying to consolidate its position and outwork each other in luring powerful leaders from other parties, it is very important that they form game-changing alliances before the elections. istiaque7862010 Tags: Amit Shah, Andhra Assembly Elections 2019, Andhra News, AP Elections 2019, BJP Andhra, Chandrababu Naidu, Featured, jagan mohan reddy, Jagan Survey, jana sena party, pawan kalyan, Power Star and Jana Sena Party Chief, TDP To Win 2019, who will win Andhra elections 2019, YSRCP Elections Previous Vijayawada MLAs Best In Intintiki Telugu Desam Program Next YSRCP MP Bhatta Renuka Joins TDP	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9614

They finish with a 12-0 win-loss record. They will have a thrice-to-beat advantage in the finals on October 3, 2013. The DLSU Green Paddlers meanwhile defeated FEU, 3-2 to finish the eliminations with a 13-1 record and will get the top seed in the semis. In the inaugural Poomsae tournament, DLSU finished with one bronze medal to place fifth behind. UST gets first place followed by UP, ADMU and FEU. DLSU teams remain undefeated and can clinch the title for both Mens and Womens division on Wed. The Lady Shuttlers end eliminations at 2nd and will face 3 vs 4 winner in semis. The Green Shuttlers finish 5th. ADMU teams swept the eliminations and will have the thrice-to-beat edge in the finals Photo courtesy of Swim Philippines DLSU finishes second and third in Mens and Womens swimming respectively. Final Rankings: Mens: UP 452 pts, DLSU 301 pts, ADMU 283 pts, UST 175 pts and UE 18 pts. Womens: UP 587 pts, ADMU 387, DLSU 115 and UE 2 pts. Green Tanker Johansen Aguilar wins 3rd MVP award,matching the feat of Enchong Dee. The Green Archers are in the midst of an 8-game winning streak, sweeping the second round and are a win away from returning to the UAAP Finals after a 4-year absence. For head coach Juno Sauler, this streak is far from his mind at this point. From Spin.ph “We don’t care about the streak,” said the unassuming La Salle coach. “Miami Heat had what? 27? Ano lang ba kami? Walo lang kami,” he stressed. Despite all the things that went the Archers way’ during the eliminations and in their playoff against the Tamaraws where they hit 11 three-point shots, Sauler was still quick to point out the mistakes made by La Salle in its game against FEU. In particular, Sauler mentioned the final minute of the match when FEU still had a strong chance to turn things around after grabbing several offensive rebounds. “We could have done better in the fourth. There was one time when we just have to get one rebound but FEU got three or four offensive rebounds. We just have to do a better job closing out games,” he explained. La Salle aims to clinch the first finals seat tomorrow 4PM at the MOA Arena. In the other semis match-up. UST pulled-off a shocking 71-62 win over NU to force a winner-take-all match on Saturday “UST really showed the championship experience,” said Altamirano. “Obviously, we got intimidated early in the first quarter and we lost our discipline all throughout. It’s hard to come back. “Nagulat lang kami nung first quarter. UST started aggressively with defense and intimidation. I felt that we didn’t adjust well to it. We lost our composure and discipline. We forced our shots and it created a lot of transition points for UST,” he said. “UST played sharp. They played very well. They shot well. You have to give it to them. They played good defense. Kasama na doon ’yung physicality with how they defend Ray (Parks) and Jean (Mbe). Bobby Ray Parks and Emmanuel Mbe struggled in the first game of the semifinal showdown. Parks, a two-time MVP, couldn’t get into his comfort zone, scoring 14 points but only two in the first half, while Mbe was held to eight points. Here’s Camille Claro’s game-tying three-pointer that forced OT and eventually gave the Lady Archers a return ticket to the UAAP finals.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9617

You’d have to wear a size 15 and have a record-setting wing span. You’d have to have been raised right, in a tight-knit family, with two parents who are business executives and a sister who plays college basketball at Duke. You’d have to have shot 90.9% from the floor in a game your rookie season with the Bucks, and double double in which you scored 17 points, pulled down 25 rebounds and blocked seven shots. And, in a perfect storm of circumstances and honest mistakes, at 24-years old, you’d have to have experienced the first crushing blow of racism you’ve ever known. Though he has since taken down his Instagram post, you can read about the incident in this Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel article, or by looking through the extensive police report. Mr. Henson tried to celebrate a four-year, $45 million contract extension he signed with the Bucks by buying himself a Rolex watch. Through a series of unfortunate incidents, he was denied entry to the jewelry store twice. During the second instance, he had come directly from practice, which means the store employees looked at a 6-11 man, wearing his Bucks practice uniform, and refused him service. Even after a police officer identified him as Milwaukee forward John Henson, the store employer asked for police to stay and observe the transaction, an insulting request on many levels. Mr. Henson did not buy the watch, but he did offer a lesson in empathy and grace. His Instagram post went viral based on its honest though impressively tempered outrage. The next day, he accepted jewelry store owner Tim Dixon’s apology which, to his credit, Mr. Dixon made promptly and in person. “I appreciated the opportunity to personally meet with John Henson this morning to look him in the eye, shake hands, and apologize,” Dixon said. “No one should ever have to experience what he experienced.” If you walked a mile in John Henson’s shoes, you’d have to lace them up extra tight and you’d still probably trip. But you’d learn a lesson or two about the reality of racial profiling, and the giant steps forward a community can take if members acknowledge its existence and pledge to make it right. John Henson was just 20-years old when he signed a rookie contract with the Bucks. He has become a valued member of the team and the Milwaukee community. basketball John Henson Milwaukee Bucks Racial profiling Racism sports Based on a True Titty The reincarnation of the Great Packer Pumpkin	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9620

This distribution has been in effect since July 1, 2013. This policy applies to: All University of West Georgia Sponsored Grants, Projects, and Fixed Cost Contracts that are reimbursed for the F&A costs incurred by the University. The Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs is authorized to implement Procedures for compliance with this Policy. Changes to the F&A distribution must be approved in writing by the entity surrendering any potion of their allotted distribution. Administration & Additional Resources Short Title: “F&A Distribution Policy” Previous Versions: None Oversight: Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs F&A Costs - Facilities and Administrative Costs (F&A), frequently referred to as “Indirect Costs”, are general operating costs incurred by the University in support of sponsored research. F&A costs are actual costs incurred by the University that cannot be readily identified or associated with a single sponsored project or Federally Negotiated Rate – UWG’s current F&A agreement was negotiated and approved in 2011 by the University’s federal cognizant agency. The rate was renewed in UWG’s F&A rate is 37.5% of modified total direct costs (MTDC). Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC) - This rate includes all direct costs in the proposal budget EXCEPT the following: That portion of each sub-award in excess of $25,000; Rental/maintenance of off-site activities; Student tuition remission; Student support costs (e.g., student aid, stipends, dependency allowances, scholarships, and fellowships) Cognizant Agency – the federal agency, which reviews and approves the grantees’ indirect cost rates. UWG’s cognizant agency is the Department of Health & Human Services. Approved rates must be accepted by other agencies, unless specific program regulations restrict the recovery of indirect Cost Reimbursable – UWG is reimbursed only for the actual project costs incurred up to the total amount of the sponsored grant B. Procedures The reimbursed F&A costs are recorded into their respective accounts on a quarterly basis. Account balance notifications are sent to each College, Department and PI in November and April. F&A costs are reimbursed to the University when the appropriate direct costs have been Recovered F&A costs are distributed to the appropriate entities in November and April once the funds have been received from the Of the total F&A funds recovered from an individual project, 10% is reallocated to the PI who generated the successful proposal; 5% is reallocated to the PI’s home department; 5% is reallocated to the PI’s home college; 50% is reallocated to the ORSP; and 30% is reallocated to the Vice President of PI’s The funds returned to each entity should be used to enhance further research and sponsored activities. Unallowable Direct and Indirect Costs Authority UWG PROCEDURE NUMBER: 4.2.3a - Unallowable Direct and Indirect Costs Authority UWG POLICY 4.2 (Research Grants, and Sponsored Projects) The consistent treatment of unallowable direct costs and indirect costs on a sponsored project directly affects the indirect cost rate proposal calculation prepared for or by the University. Documented guidance is essential for the accounting treatment of project-related costs. In order to ensure consistent treatment of direct and indirect costs incurred by sponsored projects, each sponsored project administered by the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (ORSP) shall adhere to these procedures. This procedure applies to all individuals submitting a University of West Georgia sponsored grant or project. The Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs, pursuant to the authority of UWG Policy 4.2, establishes the following procedures for compliance with UWG Policy 4.2 on Research, Grants, and Sponsored Projects: A. Definitions Principal Investigator (PI) – In the context of sponsored projects, the principal investigator is the person who takes responsibility for completion of a funded project. Some agencies use the term Project Director (PD), which has the same definition as described Budget Contact – Typically, the administrative assistant within the PI’s department responsible for preparing financial documents requested by the PI for submission and approval by the Post Award Specialist – Grants accountant or financial point of contact within the Direct Costs – Expenses that are a direct result of a research project and can be allocated without doubt to that Indirect Costs – Costs to the University that cannot be readily identified or associated with a single sponsored project or activity. B. Accounting Procedures Expenditure Request. Expenditure requests are entered into the PeopleSoft system by the Budget PeopleSoft will not accept expenditures in excess of the sponsor approved budget. Verification by Post Award Specialist. Once a requisition is entered into the system, it is electronically routed to the Post Award Specialist for review of availability of funds. During this review the Post Award Specialist is also verifying that the requisition is allowable by the sponsor. If the expenditure in whole or in part is unallowable, the requisition will be denied. An alternate funding source for the unallowable expenditure must then be entered into the PeopleSoft system by the Budget Contact before the transaction will be processed. Frequently, this alternate funding source is a state funded departmental account. Approval by VPAA. Upon approval of the allowable expense by the Post Award Specialist requisitions are routed to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for Requisition Routed to Controller. The project PI must submit the final requisition approval prior to the document being processed by the Office of the Alternate Funding. If an unallowable direct cost is identified by the PI or Post Award Specialist during the quarterly review and account reconciliation, an Expenditure Transfer Form/General Ledger Entry is prepared by the Budget Contact or the Post Award Specialist on behalf of the PI. This General Ledger entry moves the unallowable expense out of the grant account and into an alternate funding Guidelines for Expenditure Transfer Documentation – sufficient to prove the transaction was Errors must be corrected promptly upon Personnel expense errors should be corrected immediately No Cost Extensions No-Cost Extensions Sponsors expect PI’s to complete projects by the project period end date. However, this is not always possible. A no-cost extension gives the PI extra time to complete the scope and objectives of the project without additional funds being provided by the sponsor. Although requests may not be made for the sole purpose of spending remaining funds you may expend remaining funds during the no-cost extension period. When should I request a no-cost extension? Individual sponsor requirements vary. First-time requests are generally due to the sponsor thirty (30) days prior to the current project period end date. How long of an extension may I request? You should only request the actual amount of time needed to complete the project. Requests range from one to twelve months. A written justification for the extension request and a revised budget for the remaining funds must be submitted to the ORSP Post Award Office for review and approval prior to a request being submitted to the sponsor. Grant Closeout Procedure Authority UWG PROCEDURE NUMBER: 4.2.4 Grant Closeout Procedure Authority: UWG POLICY 4.2 (Research Grants, and Sponsored Projects) Grant Closeout Procedures - University closeout procedures were developed to ensure that all sponsor requirements are met in accordance with Federal Uniform Guidance standards. This establishes the procedure for closing out externally funded sponsored agreements. The Office of Research & Sponsored Projects (ORSP) and the Principal Investigator (PI) must work together to coordinate the award closeout process. A well-defined process is necessary to ensure that sponsoring agencies receive the required final progress/program and financial reports within the parameters established in the terms and conditions of the awards. PIs are held responsible and accountable for preparing and submitting all technical, narrative, invention, equipment, and patent reports, as applicable. Grants are considered closed when all the work has been performed to the granting agency’s satisfaction or upon the termination date specified in the award. Closeout is an Award Management activity that officially ends the award relationship. The following provides a brief overview of the responsibilities of the PI and the ORSP closing out a grant/project. Principal Investigator Responsibility Confirm that the project end date indicated in the initial closeout memo from the ORSP matches the project period end date in their Check the award notice to verify due dates and requirements for final Determine whether the scope of work will be completed by the project period end date or if a no-cost extension will be necessary.

These emails list the project period end date, the current available balance in the award, a Closeout Check List for the PI, and a current account reconciliation including a detailed list of all expenditures to If the PI has determined that a no-cost extension is necessary, the ORSP will work with the PI and the sponsor to request a no-cost extension for the project.

Closeout Checklist for PI's Closeout Checklist for PI's – A tool to assist PIs as they address each area of responsibility that must be completed in order to close a project. ORSP Residual Balance Policy/Procedure A fixed price agreement, usually in the form of a legal contract executed by both parties, is an agreement to deliver a specific product or service at an exact cost during an agreed upon time frame. The price is determined prior to the award acceptance by estimating what is perceived to be the actual cost of producing the product or providing the service. Once the university enters a fixed price agreement it must produce the deliverables within the required time frame regardless of the actual cost of doing so. Even though there are no detailed government regulations that specifically address the treatment of residual balances, best practices indicate that actual costs within + 10% of the agreed upon price are acceptable. An occasional residual in excess of 10% is usually not a cause for concern. However, repeated instances of excessive residuals by a particular Project Investigator (PI) or Department are problematic. These patterns of excess residuals are an indication that either some project costs are not being appropriately charged to the project accounts, which usually means the university is unintentionally subsidizing the work, or projected costs are not being estimated correctly. Inflated prices can lead to charges of violation of cost and pricing regulations, especially if federal funds are involved. In addition, excessive residuals have the potential to threaten the non-profit status of the institution and/or subject the institution to unrelated business income tax liability (UBIT). Principal Investigators, with the oversight and assistance of the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (ORSP), are expected to estimate costs for fixed price agreements as accurately as possible and to charge all applicable project costs to the project account during the term of the agreement. However, even when projects are appropriately budgeted and managed, residual funds can sometimes remain after all deliverable have been met and all work has been completed. When such residuals do remain, the institution must determine who will receive those funds and how they will be used.

Khalfan Ibrahim (41 and 90 + 2) and Hassan Al Haydos (49) scored the goals for Al Sadd, who secured their fourth successive win this season. For Al Sailiyah, Dagano Mamouni reduced the deficit in the 90th minute. Al Haydos was later benched in the 71st minute. Al Sadd now jump to the top of QSL standings with a tally of 12 points from four matches. Coached by Hussein Amute, Al Sadd have beaten Umm Salal, Qatar SC, Al Arabi and now Al Sailiyah in their four matches. Earlier in the season, Al Sadd signed Spanish legend Raul Gonzalez for one year. The former Real Madrid star has been the skipper since the first match after the injury to regular captain Mohammed Kasola. Meanwhile, former champions and hosts Al Gharafa on Sunday beat Eljaish 2-0 in their round four clash in the Qatar Stars League (QSL). It was Al Gharafa’s first win of the new QSL season, thanks to goals by Alex Rafael (44) and Mark Bresciano (58). The win relieved pressure on coach Paulo Silas. Rafael produced a slick solo run to score the first goal from close range whereas Australian midfielder Bresciano deflected a cross from the left flank just a few meters away from the goal-line. Eljaish found the net through Adriano Martinez but the linesman declared the effort offside in the 72nd minute. Al Gharafa, who lost to Al Wakra in the first match of the new season, have two draws against Al Arabi and Al Kharaitiyat. Eljaish, who lost to Umm Salal in their first of the new season, were eyeing a hat-trick of wins in QSL. Al Gharafa have 5 points from four matches whereas Eljaish – who finished runners-up during the last QSL season – have 6 points.

The potential application of methanotrophic microorganisms for removal of methane produced from landfills and coal mines as well as biodegradation of toxic compounds has been widely studied. Therefore, searching for new sources of methanotrophs can contribute to increasing the possibilities of biotechnology and bioengineering. Enrichment cultures of endophytic methanotrophs from Sphagnum sp. were initiated in NMS medium, a most widely used medium for cultivation of methanotrophic bacteria from various environments proposed in 1970 by Whittenbury. Incubation was carried out at 10, 20, 30, and 37°C with vigorous shaking on a shaker (180 rpm). The source of carbon and energy for endophytes were methane at the concentration range between 1-20%. It appeared that the consortium of endophytic bacteria grew only at the temperature of 20 and 30°C. During the culture of endophytes, the measurements of gas concentration showed a steady loss of methane and oxygen, as well as accumulation of carbon dioxide as a CH4 oxidation product. The use of FISH has made characterization of endophytic consortia possible. It turned out that the population of endophytes consists of type I and II methanotrophs as well as associated non-methanotrophic bacteria. Furthermore, we determined the potential of the examined bacteria for methane oxidation, which ranged up to 4,7 μMCH4 per ml of the population of endophytes per day. The history of the use of microorganisms by man is as old as the human civilization itself. Microorganisms have long served humans in industrial applications e.g. production of food, drug, and cosmetics. Recently, progress can be seen in the use of microorganisms for environmental biotechnology, namely removal of greenhouse gases from various sites (landfills, coal mines), biodegradation of toxic compounds, wastewater treatment etc. (Hamer [2010]). Each species of microorganisms found in the earth has its own specific requirements of nutrients and growth conditions that are often difficult to mimic in the culture media in the laboratory. Therefore, one of the most up-to-date trends in environmental biotechnology is seeking for new sources of microorganisms with a wide range of growth conditions and, especially, the possibility of utilizing waste material for cultivation (Minamisawa [2006]). A unique and fascinating group of microorganisms are methanotrophic bacteria, which were discovered over a century ago and yet are still of great interest. Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria, which use methane as the sole source of carbon and energy, act as a major methane sink. Methanotrophic bacteria have been studied in soils, deserts, landfills, tundra, wetlands, rice paddies, sediments, lakes, and marine environments (Hanson and Hanson [1996]), as well as in the atmosphere (Santl-Temkiv et al. [2013]) and coal mines (Stępniewska et al. [2006]). Methanotrophs have significant potential for applied microbiology and biochemical engineering, including bioremediation of pollutants (e.g. halogenated hydrocarbons) via co-metabolism by MMOs, biotransformation of diverse organic substrates (e.g., propylene to epoxypropane, production of chiral alcohols), assimilation of methane to mitigate greenhouse effects, and production of commercially relevant compounds (e.g., single cell protein, poly-_ hydroxybutyrate, astaxanthin). Therefore, engineering of methanotrophs is very important to their industrial applications. Recent years have seen significant progress in functional genomics and proteomics of methanotrophs (Hamer [2010]; Jiang et al. [2010]; Trotsenko and Murrell [2008]). Understanding of natural microbially mediated processes has been severely retarded by the common requirement to study microorganisms only as pure monocultures under aseptic conditions, in spite of the fact that, in all real environments, microbial strains function in a community (Hamer [2010]). Based on basic research and deep knowledge of methanotrophs, there are more possibilities to make methanotrophs become important and universal industrial microorganisms (Jiang et al. [2010]). Therefore, these studies focused on recognition of the conditions of culturing aerobic endophytic methanotrophs and their application in environmental biotechnology and bioengineering. The aim of our present study was to investigate a new perspective of the use of Sphagnum endophytic methanotrophs in environmental biotechnology. Plant material Sphagnum sp. materials were selected from Moszne peatbog (the Poleski National Park, Eastern Poland). The samples of the crops were collected in September 2011 from four different sites (meadow peat soil, bog forest). Isolation of endophytic methanotrophs The endophytic bacteria were isolated from young Sphagnum sp. plants. Randomly selected plants were uprooted manually and washed in running tap water. Leaf sections of 1–2 cm length were excised using a flame-sterilized scalpel. The samples were blotted dry with filter paper; next, surface sterilization of shoot and root pieces was performed with the following immersion sequence: 70% ethanol for 1 min and 3% sodium hypochlorite for 5 min. Then, they were rinsed four times with sterile water and dried in laminar flow. The cut ends of surface sterilized segments were removed with a flame-sterilized scalpel and placed in appropriate NMS solid medium, i.e. a most widely used medium for cultivation of methanotrophic bacteria from various environments proposed in 1970 by Whittenbury, with the cut surface touching the medium. Due to the volatile nature of the essential metabolic substrates used by methanotrophs (CH4, O2), the cultures were grown in glass bottles with a capacity of 120 cm3, equipped with a hermetically closed cover, allowing application and collection of gases. The glass bottles were incubated for six to ten days at 30°C. The growth of methanotrophic bacteria was stimulated by supplying CH4 (10%v/v) for the cultivation. The proportion between the solid medium and gaseous culture was always 1:5. Subsequently, a single colony was transferred to 120 cm3 bottles containing liquid NMS medium and the cultures were incubated at 10°C, 20°C, and 30°C with 180 rpm shaking. Meanwhile, the concentration of bacterial cells in the suspension was determined spectrophotometrically by absorbance at 600 nm. Concurrently, methane consumption in the headspace was measured with a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector, a thermal conductivity detector, and an electron capture detector (SIMADZU, GC 2010). Nitrogen and helium were used a carrier gas (30 mL min−1) and the injector, oven, and detector temperatures were 250°C (FID) and 150°C (TCD). The flame gases including H2 and compressed air were set at 20 and 30 mL min−1, respectively. It has been demonstrated that in natural conditions methanotrophic bacteria cooperate with other microorganisms and their pure cultures are unstable for extended periods of time (Hoefman et al. [2010]). In these studies, we investigated a consortium of whole microbial communities. Morphology and cell shape The isolated population of endophytic methanotrophs (actively growing) were collected by centrifugation, connected with 0,2% phosphotungstic acid in the ratio 1:1. Then, the mixtures were transferred onto a copper grid covered with a formvar film. After drying the grid, photographs of endophytic methanotrophs were taken with the use of electron microscopy techniques (LEO 912AB) with an electron energy filter. Methylosinus trichosporium and Methylomonas methanica originating from Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms were used as a positive control. Identification of the endophytic bacterial population Total DNA was extracted from enrichment cultures where visual turbidity developed using the method described previously by Sambrook and Russell ([2001]) with some modifications. Cells from 10 ml samples of late-exponential cultures were collected by centrifugation. The pellet was suspended in 250μl of TE buffer containing 50mM Tris–HCl (pH=8.0) and 50mM EDTA (pH=8.0). To achieve complete lysis of the cells, 1 ml of GES buffer (pH=8.0) containing 5M guanidine thiocyanate, 100mM EDTA, and 0.5% sarkosyl was added. The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes and then “crude lysates” were cooled on ice. After addition of 125μl of ammonium acetate (7.5M), the samples were mixed and further incubated on ice. The DNA obtained was purified with 250μl of a chloroform-isoamyl alcohol (24:1) mixture, precipitated with isopropanol, washed with cold ethanol, and dissolved in 50μl of sterile distilled water. Specific primers for functional genes and 16S rRNA of the methanotrophic bacteria synthesized at GENOMED, Warsaw (Poland), were used. Polymerase chain reactions (PCR) were run in a programmable thermal cycler (MJmini, Bio-Rad). The reaction mixture (50μl) consisted of 1xPCR MIX: PCR amplification buffer, 0.05 U/μl Taq DNA polymerase, 0.4mM of each dNTP, 4mM MgCl2 (FERMENTAS), forward and reverse primers at 0.1mM and 3.5 μl of template DNA. The reaction conditions consisted of initial denaturation at 96°C for 4 minutes, 30 cycles of 94°C for 2 min, primer annealing at 56°C for type I and 55°C for type II each for 1 min, and elongation at 72°C for 1 min. Final elongation was performed at 72°C for 3 minutes. The amplification products were analyzed by electrophoresis in 1% agarose gel and stained with ethidium bromide. The sequencing processes were performed on the purified product immediately after the PCR reaction in the Laboratory of DNA Sequencing and Oligonucleotide Synthesis (GENOMED, Warsaw, Poland). The sequences obtained were compared to the closest relatives in the GenBank database using the BLAST program. All sequences have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbers: KJ657737 - KJ657745 and KJ623261, KJ 1713769. Fixation procedure Cells growing in the logarithmic phase were harvested by centrifugation and resuspended in 0.5ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The suspensions were then mixed with 1ml of 4% (w/v) freshly prepared paraformaldehyde solution and fixed for 1 h at room temperature. The fixed cells were collected by centrifugation (6000•g for 1min) and washed twice with PBS to ensure removal of paraformaldehyde. The resulting pellet was resuspended in 0.3 ml of 99.9% (v/v) ethanol and stored at 20°C until use. For use in FISH, probe Mγ84: AGCCCGCGACTGCTCACC (type I), Mγ705: CTAGACTTCCTTGTGGTC (type I), and Mα450: CTATTACTGCCATGGACCTA (type II) was labeled with indocarbocyanine dye (Eller et al. [2001]). The oligonucleotide probes were synthesized and labeled with fluorochromes (CY3, CY5) by MWG Biotech (Ebersberg, Germany). Hybridization was done on 75% ethanol-rinsed and dried slides with eight wells for independent positioning of the samples. Approximately 4μl of the fixed cell suspension was spread on each well, air dried, and dehydrated by successive passages through an ethanol series (50, 75, and 99.9% (v/v)) for 3 min each. A 50ml polypropylene Falcon tube containing a slip of filter paper soaked in hybridization buffer was used as a hybridization chamber, as described by Stahl and Amann [1991]. Hybridization buffer (10μl) containing 1M Tris–HCl (pH=8), 5M NaCl, 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and 20% formamide was placed on each spot of the fixed cells and then 1μl of fluorescent probe solution was added. The chamber was incubated for 60 min at the hybridization temperature. Then, the slides were washed at the hybridization temperature for 15 min in washing buffer (1M Tris–HCl, 0.5M EDTA, and 5M NaCl) and rinsed twice with distilled water. The slides were air dried, stained with 4,6- diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; 2 M) for 10 min in the dark, rinsed again with distilled water, and finally air dried. The slides were analyzed by fluorescent microscope techniques (Nikon Eclipse 80i). The pictures were taken with a Digital Sight camera (Nikon) and processed using software program. Culture growth It appeared that the consortium of endophytic bacteria grew at the temperature of 20 and 30°C, but not at 10°C and 37°C (Figure 1). A steady loss of methane and oxygen was shown, as well as accumulation of carbon dioxide as a CH4 oxidation product according to the equation: C H 4 +2 O 2 MMO → C O 2 + H 2 O+780kJmo l ‐ 1 +biomass The dynamics of gases during the growth of the methanotrophic community, at 30oC (A) and 20oC (B) under 10% CH4 in the headspace. During the initial phase, adaptation of endophytes ranged from 5 to 8 days at 30°C and up to 12 days at 20°C, which can be due to cellular metabolism at lower temperature (Figure 2). Then, there was rapid growth of the endophytic population (logarithmic phase), which was reflected by an increase in optical density in the range from 0.3 to 2.0 at 30°C and from 0.25 to 1.4 at 20°C, depending on the methane concentration (1-20%). After the logarithmic phase, lack of carbon/energy sources was observed and an increase in the concentration of waste products to a harmful level for methanotrophic consortia (about day 13, Figure 2). This time was referred to as the stationary phase of the enrichment cultures. The growth curves of methanotrophic consortium cultures (at different 1-20% concentrations of CH4) isolated from leaves of Sphagnum sp. gametophytes: SF1 – S. flexuosum , SM2– S. magellanicum 2, SA3– S. fallax , SM4 – S. magellanicum 4. Methanotrophic activity of the endophytic population The CH4 consumption in the enrichment culture (at 20 and 30°C) from the four localizations of Sphagnum sp. showed a clear decrease in the CH4 concentration tested in the headspace after 12–13 days of incubation (Figure 1). The highest CH4 consumption, below 20% of the initial CH4 concentration, was found in the isolated population from Sphagnum magellanicum (4,7 μMCH4 per ml liquid culture per day, Figure 3) at 30°C. No significant correlation in methanotrophic activity between the 20 and 30°C temperatures (UMW, p=0.89) was observed and no statistically significant differences between the activity of methanotrophic bacteria from the different species of Sphagnum sp. (UMW, p=0.85) were confirmed. A linear relationship with a high correlation coefficient (R2=0.99) between the methanotrophic activity of Sphagnum sp. endophytes and the methane concentration (in the range of CH4 from 0 to 10%, Table 1) was shown. The higher concentration of methane (over 10%) did not increase the methanotrophic activity of endophytes isolated from Sphagnum sp.. Furthermore, at a concentration of 20% CH4 it was observed to be even slightly lower, as in the case of the S. magellanicum M2 endophytes. The results obtained suggest that at 10% of methane complete saturation of the methane monooxygenase active center took place. Methanotrophic activity (MA) of the endophytic metanotrophic population obtained from leaves of Sphagnum sp gametophyte determined at 20oC (A) and 30oC (B) under different concentrations of methane (1- 20%). I – S. flexuosum M1, II – S. magellanicum M2, III – S. fallax M3, IV – S. magellanicum M4. Table 1 Influence of the methane concentration (x) on the methanotrophic activity of endophytes (MA, y) determined at 20°C and 30°C (n = 8) Characterization of the endophytic isolates Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the SM2 and SM4 populations consisted of single coccoid cells that showed a cell wall typical of Gram-negative bacteria. In addition, cells from all the tested endophyte populations had a rod shape. SM2 and SA3 isolates exhibited a motile character. TEM microscopy (negatively stained cells) indicated that the cells of all the tested populations had extracellular structures called nanopods with a length of ca. 480 nm (Figure 4, Table 2).

Table 2 Microscopic characterization of the methanotroph community isolated from different Sphagnum species Fluorescence in situ hybridization The endophytic consortia were characterized with the use of FISH (F luorescence i n s itu H ybridization) analysis. The cultured population of endophytic microorganisms consisted of type I, which were the dominant population (pink cells), and type II methanotrophs (green cells), as well as associated non-methanotrophic bacteria (dark blue cells, Figure 5).

M1 – S. flexuosum , M2– S. magellanicum , M3– S. fallax , M4 – S. magellanicum. Identification of the isolated endophytes The methanotrophic communities isolated from Sphagnum mosses were investigated with use of general taxonomic markers like 16S rRNA, specific for type I and II methanotrophs. The 16S rRNA PCR products obtained (after purification, type I – 700 bp, type II – 530 bp) were sequenced using genomic DNA from Sphagnum mosses as a template. Then similarity of the tested sequences to nucleotide sequences from the GenBank database was assessed. The identification results revealed the presence of both type I and type II methanotrophs. Among cultivable methanotrophs type I, there were different strains of the genus Methylomonas, whereas methanotrophs type II were represented by cultured strains belonging to the genera Methylocystis and Methylosinus. Molecular identification with the use of BLAST revealed high similarity of the methanotrophs cultured on the NMS medium to the genus Methylocystis (GenBank:. KJ623261, KJ657737, KJ657742) in the population isolated from Sphagnum flexuosum (99%), Methylomonas (GenBank: KJ657738, KJ657739, KJ657740, KJ657743) Methylocystis (GenBank: KJ 1713769) in the community isolated from S. magellanicum (94-100%), and to the genera Methylocystis, and Methylosinus (GenBank: KJ657744, KJ657745) in the population isolated from S. fallax (96-98%, Table 3). Table 3 Identification of cultured endophytic methanotrophs isolated from different Sphagnum species based on molecular genetic analysis Enriched cultures of microorganisms are an essential step in the production of inoculum of different organisms for biotechnology and bioengineering. In our studies, we showed an ability of the endophytic bacterial community to be cultured only at 20 and 30°C (Figure 1, 3). Most of methanotrophs hitherto isolated were classified as mesophilic (Hanson and Hanson [1996]). There were registered isolates belonging to the psychrophile group, whose optimum growth was reported at 3.5-10°C and a slight growth at 20°C (Omel’chenko et al. Omel'chenko et al. [1993]; Trotsenko and Khmelenina [2005]). Methanotrophic microorganisms belonging to the thermophilic/thermostable group, whose optimum growth was determined in the range of 40 - 65°C, have been identified (Trotsenko et al. [2009]). It is worth noting that the psychrophilic methanotrophs do not occur in the temperate climate zone, subtropical and tropical zones. The use of the enrichment culture of endophytes allowed determination of the length of the adaptation phase (Figure 2) and the rate of growth at different concentrations of methane, which may be a forecast in the use of these cultures for biotechnology and significantly reduce the time to adapt in successive cycles of life. Analysis of methanotrophic activity showed that optimal oxidation of methane was found below 10% v/v of the initial methane concentration and at 30°C. Next, the culture was run at higher availability of methane from 3.167 to 3.678 μM CH4 per ml liquid culture and per day (Figure 3). If we apply the culture to pilot-scale bioreactors (200 dm3), we need to provide only from 0.633 mM to 0.736 mM CH4 per day for methanotrophic endophytes isolated from different species of Sphagnum sp. As a result, we believe that the culture of methanotrophic endophytes will be promising for environmental biotechnology. Besides, methane, which is the sole source of carbon and energy for these bacteria, is often released as a waste product into the atmosphere; for instance, the use of methane recovered as a biogas from waste deposits for energy purposes could become unprofitable. The composition of the bacterial community possible to culture at 30°C and 10% of CH4 was identified (Table 3). The results show that the SF1 belongs to the genus Methylocystis and SM2 and SA3 to Methylomonas. The most diverse community is SA3, which consists of cultured strains belonging to the genera: Methylosinus, Methylocystis, and Methylomonas. (Steenbergh et al. [2010]) suggested different life strategies for these two groups of methanotrophic bacteria type I and II. In their view, type I methanotrophs have lower initial cell numbers in combination with the fast growth rate, which is in agreement with an R-type life strategy, investing in reproduction (Steenbergh et al. [2010]) instantaneous upon the presence of favorable conditions. In contrast, type II methanotrophs have higher initial cell numbers and slower growth. This situation is referred to as a K-type life strategy, connected with investing in survival and longevity (Andrews and Harris [1986]; Golovlev [2001]; Noll et al. [2005]). The communities isolated from Sphagnum sp. represent both the R and K strategy of life. Thus, they can be used in different environmental conditions, especially SA3, which comprises a mixture of type I and II methanotrophs. An important element of this work was the culture of the methanotrophic communities isolated from Sphagnum sp. plants and recognition of their properties, because essentially, a consortium achieves the same role as does a genetically manipulated (or engineered) strain, but with superior stability. Genetically engineered strains are invariably both physiologically unbalanced and fastidious. (Hamer [2010]). As a matter of fact, methanotrophs are not able to exist in the form of pure cultures, because these are their unnatural conditions of life. For growth, methanotrophs require associated microorganisms necessary for their normal functioning (Hoefman et al. [2010]). This hypothesis was confirmed by FISH analysis of the cultured methanotrophic endophytes (Figure 5). Very numerous associated non-methanotrophic bacteria (dark blue cells) were observed, which probable support the growth of methanotrophic bacteria in the tested conditions (Eller et al. [2001]). In the literature, more effective neutralization of harmful factors was confirmed, when strains formed a mutualistic type of correlations in biofilm or aggregates (Tay et al. [2004]). The use of a consortium of micro-organisms, which exhibit different genomic and phenotypic diversity and the ability to aggregate, shall ensure much more efficient purification of the environment for several reasons: 1) bacterial cells are more resistant to toxic factors, 2) physiological diversity of microorganisms leads to increased degradation of contaminants in a single bioreactor and 3) separating of aggregated cells from a mixture is easy to perform (Tay et al. [2004]). Negative contrast imaging of the cultured endophyte community by transmission microscopy showed the existence of structures facilitating communication between cells. These crystalline-like structures have been described as connecting lines referred to as nanopods (Shetty et al. [2011], Figure 4). So far, these organelles, which are used to transport the virulence factors over long distances, have been described only for pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Legionella pneumophila (Bomberger et al. [2009]; Ellis and Kuehn [2010]). The structure of nanopods of non-pathogenic bacteria has been identified for CS1 Delftia sp. 4 isolated from Wisconsin soil contaminated with polycyclic hydrocarbons (Shetty et al. [2011]). Nanopods have a crystalline-like outer surface and exhibit inner structures with varied (from spherical to spiral) morphology. Furthermore, using the three-dimensional electron cryotomography technique, (Shetty et al. [2011]) demonstrated that nanopods have tubular architecture, unlike the linear, filamentous construction characteristic of flagella or pili. Nanopods of Delftia sp. 4 projecting from cell surfaces were abundant and often spanned the space between neighboring bacteria, as for the cell surfaces of the methanotrophic endophytes (Figure 3). (Shetty et al. [2011]) suggested that formation of nanopods and the S-layer by bacterial cells are partially dependent on each other. The presence of the S-layer has been confirmed in many species of methanotrophic, for example halotolerant or thermotolerant, as well as non-halophilic strains (Khmelenina et al. [1999]; Khmelenina et al. [2010]). Our studies also indicate that methanotrophic endophytes have the S-layer, which, in contrast to carbohydrates, was observed in the presence of ruthenium red (Khmelenina et al. [1999]). There are data indicating that bacteria able to produce nanopods have diverse lifestyles, for instance Delftia sp. Cs1-4, D. acidovorans SPH1, and A. delafieldii, which are free-living soil bacteria. In contrast, A. avenae subsp. avenae ATCC 19860, A. avenae subsp. Citrulli, and V. eiseniae are biotrophs and they live associated with eukaryotic organisms. Nanopods are produced by plant pathogens and earthworm symbionts (V. eiseniae EF01-2), which inhabit environments of decomposing organic material (Pinel et al. [2008]). The existence of these structures in methanotrophic endophytes is probable. Notably, considering the lifestyles of these microorganisms as well as the ecological niche (high decomposition of organic matter) from which they were isolated, it will be interesting to determine how, or if, bacteria tailor nanopods for unique functions in methanotrophs and recognize their structure. In summary, contemporary physical/chemical treatment methods for decreasing the CH4 concentration such as activated carbon adsorption or incineration are either inefficient or costly at the low concentrations typically found in emissions from waste treatment and animal farming (López et al. [2013]). Therefore, properly tailored bioengineering can become a low-cost and environmentally friendly alternative to the physical/chemical methods for the abatement of CH4 (López et al. [2013]). We have described a unique methanotrophic community, which can be a good example for future microbial biotechnology, which has not been quite recognized until recently as far as natural environmental processes were concerned. The proposal presented can indicate the scope of ideas and concepts in process-oriented environmental biotechnology. Andrews JH, Harris RF: R-selection and K-selection and microbial ecology.

__label__wiki	0.904954	0.904954	REVIEW: Joachim Cooder’s Fuschia Machu Picchu is Blues Rock Tropical Rhythms May 18, 2018 May 18, 2018 Mark Joseph Engleson2 Percussionist and producer Joachim Cooder considers the EP Fuchsia Machu Picchu (Temple of Leaves), recorded at Wireland in Chatham, CA, his first solo record. Joachim, the son of legendary guitarist Ry Cooder, has worked as a professional musician for more than two decades. In an industry rife with broken families, the Cooders have maintained a close, steady personal and professional relationship, with Cooder playing on his father’s records since his teens. Here, Ry returns the favor, playing guitar and bass for Joachim. Stuart Levine provides saxophone, Juliette Commagere lends piano, and there are contributions provided by Yamir Yaghmai, Michael Tritter, Robert Francis, Vieux Farka Toure and Souleymane Kane The lush, exotic instrumentation on Fuchsia Machu Picchu evidences the influence Joachim has felt working with and listening to the many musicians in his family’s life. Joachim has spoken of the album drawing on Ali Farka Toure and John Lee Hooker, and album sounds like a composition of blues rock and tropical rhythms, but even that doesn’t quite describe it. Joachim himself says it best, “I’m always hearing some sort of defunct cosmic ice cream truck in my head – that’s the sound I’m after with my mbiras and tank drums and other tuned percussion. Hopefully people will get that.” Joachim describes the songs as about longing, love, and the inner life of inanimate objects. “Elevated Boy,” inspired by his experiences as a relatively new parent, is about the life of his daughter’s doll. The subject matter and the sound of Fuchsia Machu Picchu will take the listener to a strange but gentle new destination with an artist who is full of exciting new ideas. It sounds phenomenal; the musicianship is of the high quality, and the production values are superb. Take a ride in Joachim’s cosmic ice cream truck, and maybe circle around the block a few times. Though he’ll just turn 40 this year, Joachim Cooder has as much musical experience as artists decades his senior. I consider Fuchsia Machu Picchu a promise, a teaser. Joachim has immense talents, and is bursting with creativity. What will he do when makes a full LP? Until then, find his EP and his tour dates, here. http://joachimcooder.com/ Show Review: Indigo Girls Fill NY’s Paramount Theatre With Smiles Interview: NRBQ’s Terry Adams Defines Music’s Spiritual Beauty 2 thoughts on “REVIEW: Joachim Cooder’s Fuschia Machu Picchu is Blues Rock Tropical Rhythms” thefortnightlyplaylist says: Joachim is an artist that has had broader listening from an earlier age than probably any other artist you can think of. Just thinking about the first of his father’s albums that he played on was “Meeting at the River” with VM Bhatt…. His development as an artist has made him pretty unique.

__label__cc	0.642086	0.357914	Babar not in favor of making major changes for South Africa series Lahore: Pakistan captain Babar Azam thinks that there should not be many changes in the upcoming series against South Africa. The 26-year-old Babar has backed his troops and is confident that his team will perform better in the Test and T20I series against Proteas, scheduled to start from January 26. “The side is excited for the series against South Africa. South Africa is a quality side and it will be a very important series for us. We will go positive against South Africa,” Babar said while talking to reporters in Lahore on Tuesday. “It is crucial to back the team during difficult times and not judge on the basis of one bad series. To build a team, players need to be given consistent opportunities,” he added. Babar expressed disappointment in missing the matches against New Zealand due to an injury on his right thumb. “It was painful for me not to play against New Zealand as the team needed me badly, however, I have been practicing for two days now after completely recovering from the injury. I’ll be in action against South Africa,” he revealed. Meanwhile, Babar also opined regarding Mohammad Amir’s retirement from international cricket and shared the reason why he was dropped from the team. “Amir’s performance was not the same as before. Now if his performance improves, selectors will definitely consider his return and talk to him,” he concluded.

__label__wiki	0.617668	0.617668	Messi surpasses Pele and leads Barca to victory at Valladolid Valladolid: Barcelona turned on the style to thrash Real Valladolid 3-0 away in La Liga on Tuesday as Lionel Messi scored his 644th goal to surpass Pele as the all-time record scorer for a single club. Messi also finally got his first assist of the season when he picked out defender Clement Lenglet with a splendid cross and the Frenchman rose to head Barca in front after 21 minutes. The Argentine also had a hand in the visitors’ second goal, laying on a pass for right back Sergino Dest to latch on to down the right flank and play a cross into the path of Martin Braithwaite, who slid in to score in the 35th minute. Messi capped a brilliant individual display with a splendid goal midway through the second half, running in behind to meet a pass from teenager Pedri and slotting into the far bottom corner to eclipse Pele’s long-standing scoring mark for Santos. It was also an outstanding team display from Ronald Koeman’s side, who responded to Saturday’s disappointing 2-2 home draw against Valencia by earning their first away league win since beating Celta Vigo on Oct. 1. Barca remain fifth in the standings, moving on to 24 points after 14 games. Atletico Madrid are top with 32 points from 13 games after a 2-0 win at Real Sociedad on Tuesday. “Today was a very complete performance. We needed to win this game and we did that while showing some real quality,” said Barca scorer Lenglet. “Today our tactics worked well and we’re very happy. Our full backs were able to play high up the pitch and it was a consistent performance overall, while we didn’t let our opponents have too many chances.” Messi, who remarked earlier this week that he sometimes struggled to get motivated for games in the absence of fans, looked up for the match from the first whistle. The 33-year-old nearly gave Barca an early lead when he rattled a shot towards the top corner only to be thwarted by a save from keeper Jordi Masip. He dictated Barca’s play throughout the game with some brilliant passing and movement, while he almost scored a second goal in added time when he raced through on goal but fired against the post from a tight angle.

For a full list of reviews, visit the Best Murder in Show Reviews page. THE OPENING CHAPTER OF BEST MURDER IN SHOW From where I was sitting, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard seemed remarkably clean and fragrant considering they’d just had their heads cut off. On the humid summer breeze the astringent scent of lavender wafted towards me from the pretty posies that hung from the waistbands of each of Henry VIII’s six wives. The severed heads of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, made of papier-mâché-covered balloons, lay neatly in front of them, smiling benignly in wicker log baskets. Sugar-pink cardboard necks, inserted into the tops of their Tudor dresses, rested on upended breezeblocks borrowed from the local builder. The queens’ real heads were safely concealed beneath the built-up shoulders of their costumes. The necks of their dresses, topped off with starched ruffs, were stitched closed to complete the illusion of their recent execution. To stop the headless queens wobbling around as their carnival float progressed up the High Street, they were wired to the safety rail that ran around the edge of the trailer. Henry VIII’s other four wives sat upright and entire on low wooden thrones borrowed from the choir stall of the village church. The king basked on the larger bishop’s seat raised on a dais at the tractor end of the float. You couldn’t blame Tom, the executioner, for looking pleased with his neat work. All the way up the High Street, he’d waved to the crowd as proudly as if he’d just won MasterChef. Two small children burst into terrified tears at the sight of the dark hooded figure. They were comforted only when he pulled up his knitted balaclava, to reveal that it was really just Ian, the village school’s lollipop man. Over on the Wendlebury Writers’ float, we thought it better not to wave. Smiling and waving, royal style, would have been all wrong from serious “Literary Heroes”. I was Virginia Woolf. As we waited, restless, to hear the judges’ verdict, I noticed the Wendlebury Players’ director Rex, self-cast as Henry VIII, staring at me. I couldn’t believe he could be so shameless, knowing his girlfriend, Dido, was in the crowd. From the moment I’d met him at one of the Players’ rehearsals back in June, there was something about him that put me on my guard. Blushing angrily, I faced the other way, hoping to goodness that Dido didn’t think there was anything going on between us. As a diversionary tactic, I pretended to be riveted by the WI’s Suffragette-themed float, parked on the other side of ours. It was an interesting spectacle. In front of a backdrop painted to resemble a London city street ran a row of large iron railings: plastic fencing spray-painted gunmetal grey. To these were chained half a dozen middle-aged ladies in hired My Fair Lady costumes. The one at the centre wore a large rosette saying “Mrs Pankhurst” to clarify their theme. All six were adorned with the Suffragette movement’s distinctive green, purple and white sashes, the kind now more usually associated with beauty queens. None of the chained protesters looked as if they’d recently been in prison on hunger strike. What would Virginia Woolf have made of the Village Show? I wished I’d done a little more research before picking her as my Literary Hero; I should at least have read one of her books. I’d only chosen her to try to impress my new friends in the Wendlebury Writers, and to look clever in front of my new boss, Hector Munro, proprietor of the village bookshop. Now dressed as Homer, he was towing our float with his Land Rover. But never mind Virginia Woolf, I was still unsure of what to make of the Village Show myself. Although when I was still at school I’d spent a fortnight here every summer holiday, staying with my Great Auntie May, my visits had never coincided with the Show. Returning to live here at the age of twenty-five, I’d assumed taking part in the carnival parade would be innocent fun, but now I was not so sure. Masking the sharp scent of fresh hay that bordered the arena, a new aroma cut into my senses: flatulence from the executioner now standing with his back to me and Anne Boleyn. Lucky her to have her head inside her dress to keep out of that little cloud, I was thinking just as a loud crackle from the tannoy alerted us that the judges were about to announce the results of the float competition. The broad Gloucestershire burr of Stanley Harding, Village Show Chairman, boomed, “Congratulations to another fine field of entries for the carnival procession.” His commentary was well practised, this being his twenty-first show in that prestigious position. The post was passed on as if by birthright – he’d taken over the role uncontested from his father, and it was his grandfather’s before that. This latter-day feudal system didn’t seem to do anyone any harm, if the bustling crowd’s obvious delight with the proceedings was anything to go by. “Thank you all for the wonderful hard work that you’ve put in to making such a fabulous display. In reverse order, this year’s prizes are as follows. In third place, the WI for their Mary Poppins float showing Mrs Banks and her Sister Suffragettes.” There was a roar of applause, and shrieks of delight from the chained ladies who seemed unperturbed that their serious political statement had been misinterpreted as a Disney movie. The Suffragettes tried to hug each other, forgetting they were all chained to the railings, and succeeded only in wrenching their arms and shoulders and dislodging the iron-effect fence. That they remained constrained added to the crowd’s enjoyment. No-one came forward with the padlock keys to release them, despite their cries for help. “Cor, those ladies are a force to be reckoned with,” continued Stanley. “You chaps had better watch your backs once they get loose.” He paused for dramatic effect. “In second place, the Wendlebury Players, for King Rex and his harem. No, only joking, Dido – I mean Henry VIII and his Six Wives. I understand that will be the theme of their next drama production in November, and I’m sure we’re all looking forward to enjoying that event. Except perhaps the two wives that get their heads chopped off.” He let out a roar at his own joke. “I bet now we’ve seen our Ian dolled up like this, all you boy racers will drive a bit slower past the school when he’s on lollipop duty.” While Stanley waited for the cheering to die down, I surveyed the remaining floats, crossing my fingers that we’d be the lucky winners. Ours was by far the most cultured entry. “And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: this year’s first prize goes to the Gardening Club, and their army of Worzel Gummidges.” The human scarecrows were unable to join in the rapturous applause because they were all tied to wooden crosses, looking as if they belonged to some extreme Christian religious cult in which neatness of dress was not a core value. Their tractor driver leapt down from his cab to sever the scarecrows’ ropes with a perilously sharp pocketknife. As soon as they’d all been freed, they collected a large silver trophy from Stanley and made a beeline to the beer tent to fill it up, courtesy of their prize money. A couple of them had lit cigarettes dangling from their mouths before they even reached the tent, with no regard for the straw stuffing poking out from their costumes. Now there was an accident waiting to happen. I was more disappointed than I’d expected that the Wendlebury Writers hadn’t won a prize. I wondered whether the problem was our lack of a bondage theme, worryingly present in all the winning floats. Seeing my glum face, Louisa, as Agatha Christie, got up from her low Art Deco armchair and came over to pat me on the shoulder consolingly. “Never mind, dear, we entertained the crowds, and that’s what really matters – all working together to put on a good show. Let’s all go and have a nice cream tea in the hall now. Did you know Agatha Christie’s favourite drink was Devon cream? She had it served in a wineglass with her dinner.” I wished I had known Virginia Woolf’s preferred tipple so that I could have made an appropriate reply. As I started to descend the steps from our trailer, I was stopped in my kitten-heeled tracks by a scream from the direction of the Wendlebury Players’ float. A headless Catherine Howard, who had just released herself from the ties that bound her to the safety rail, was bending over Anne Boleyn, shaking her built-up shoulders. Catherine Howard’s voice was muffled by the thick fabric of her dress, despite the gauze across the bodice that allowed her to see out. “Oh, my God, Linda’s passed out! Somebody fetch some water! Untie her at once and help me get her out of this wretched costume. Rex, I told you we’d be far too hot with our heads stuck inside these dresses for hours on end.” Hector jumped down from his Land Rover, pulled an antique dagger from the belt of his toga and offered it to Rex. Joshua, my elderly neighbour who had been leading the parade, appeared at his side brandishing a rusting penknife. Meanwhile, Anne of Cleves untied the wires that had kept Anne Boleyn’s body in position. From the craft stall, Carol, the village shopkeeper and wardrobe mistress to the Wendlebury Players, came running at as full a pelt as a fifty-year-old lady could manage, waving a pair of dressmaking scissors. The sudden profusion of deadly weapons about the place was alarming. “Don’t you damage that dress, Rex. That’s got to last four evening performances and a matinee in November.” Pushing Rex aside, Carol swiftly undid numerous poppers, zips and buttons that she’d sewn in lovingly while making the dress the week before and eased it down over the fake neck. Only then was she able to remove the cardboard to reveal Anne Boleyn’s real head underneath. “Look at the colour of Linda’s face, she’s boiling hot,” cried Catherine Howard, ripping her dress’s neckline to allow her head to surface from beneath her ruff. “She’s absolutely covered in heat rash. She must have fainted.” Ian laid down his axe and crouched, frowning, beside the still-kneeling motionless body of Anne Boleyn. With one arm around her shoulders, he lay two podgy fingers gently on her slender neck. He looked up at Rex, standing stony-faced beside him and fidgeting with his codpiece. Rex’s elegant girlfriend Dido, incongruous in twenty-first century fashion, had draped herself consolingly about him. I didn’t need to hear Ian’s verdict. I already knew Linda Absolom was dead.

Take the ghost and graveyard tour, offered by the same company. Deer Lake State Park Coastal dunes are rare in Florida but if you're a fan, Deer Lake State Park should be on your list. It has a coastal dune lake, an exceptionally rare geographic feature. Additionally, visitors can enjoy the white sandy beach of the Gulf Coast, birding, and hiking on the interpretative trail. Swimming is allowed. There are no camping facilities at this park. Florida's caverns One of the best parts of the Sunshine State is kept out of the sun entirely. Florida Caverns State Park is home to large underground rooms where visitors can see the usual array of cavern features (including wildlife) in addition to chisel marks made by 1930s-era Civilian Conservation Corps workers. Guided tours of the caves are available, but sell out quickly. Florida’s Big Bend National Scenic Byway If you're the type that likes to put the windows/top down on your car and take in the sights and sounds of a long drive, the Big Bend National Scenic Byway may be right up your alley. The 220-mile scenic drive winds through coastal and forest portions of Leon, Wakulla, and Franklin Counties. Guides that break down the route by your specific time allowance and interest are available at the website. Florida's highest waterfall Hop off of I-10 and visit Chipley, Florida, home of Florida's highest waterfall. Measuring 100 feet deep, 20 feet wide, the cylindrical pit that the water flows into starts from a small stream and falls 73 feet to the bottom. Where does it go from there? No one knows. Adventure further and explore the Sink Hole Trail at Falling Waters State Park, which features a path that winds under a canopy of trees and includes a wooden boardwalk where visitors can see migrating butterflies, take a dip in the lake, or enjoy a picnic. Campsites are available. World’s Smallest Police Station The World's Smallest Police Station is located in Downton Carrabelle, Florida, next to the post office. While there's not a lot to see, it makes for a great selfie spot and Instagram moment. The best news is, seeing it is free! Topsail Hill Preserve State Park The emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico serve as the tipping off point for a fabulous visit to Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. White quartz dunes, old-growth pine forests, sandy scrubland, and wetlands are all part of the park's surrounds. Bicycling, birding, fishing, hiking, and paddling can all be on the agenda. Guided tours are available. Camping, cabins, bungalows, and glamping are available, as are accessible accommodations. Dog Island Dog Island is one of the most unique parts of Florida. No vehicles are allowed on the barrier island that sites just 3.5 miles off-shore from Carrabelle. It's a space where time slows to true island time. There's only one hotel on the island and most of the environment is unspoiled.

Photo courtesy of Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc. The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has made public a list of proposed upgrades to the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). NCAP testing addresses the crashworthiness of a vehicle as well as the vehicle's headlight functionality. These new proposed measures go even further, putting driver assistance and safety technology to the test. Automakers often strive to achieve the highest score possible in NCAP testing, wearing their five-start safety ratings and Top Pick designations as badges of honor in marketing campaigns. "Thanks in part to NCAP, new vehicles today are much safer than a generation ago," said NHTSA Deputy Administrator James Owens. "Even so, there are still too many fatalities and serious injuries in crashes every year, so it is critical that vehicles keep getting safer in the future, and a modernized NCAP will better enable American families to select vehicles with the safety features they want." The immediate planned update to NCAP testing includes four advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS): lane keeping support, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, and blind spot intervention. Engineers have designed these four specific technologies to mitigate high-frequency and high-risk crash types. NHTSA is currently seeking public input on how best to develop a rating system for ADAS technologies. "These upgrades will make NCAP more dynamic," Deputy Administrator Owens said. "American car buyers want safety, and NHTSA wants to empower them with comparative safety information about vehicles in the market. This information creates powerful market-based incentives for automakers to invest in advanced safety technologies that will save lives and prevent injuries." The NHTSA began testing vehicles in 1978. The first tests examined frontal impact protection and used data from crash test dummies. The five-star safety rating system was established in 1993 and have been steadily increasing the scope of the testing over the last two decades.

Photo courtesy of Bugatti In the aftermath of World War I, company founder Ettore Bugatti showcased the first three vehicles made by the company that bore his name. They were race cars and Bugatti found itself at the pinnacle of the sport very quickly. By 1930, the company would begin its relationship with the aerospace industry, first with the Bugatti 100P, which never actually flew due to World War II, but served as the inspiration for a number of patents that are filed by the company. The plane went into storage as the Second World War kicked off and Mr. Bugatti would never again work on it during his lifetime. Bugatti Chiron Sport "Les Légendes du Ciel" edition Bugatti is honoring its racing and aviation past with a new series of Chiron Sport models dubbed "Les Légendes du Ciel". The drivers who piloted the Bugattis to success in the early 1900s were often time multitalented with resumes declaring them flying aces, daredevils, and technically skilled pilots. "Bugatti has had close associations with aviation since the company was established more than 110 years ago. Many successful Bugatti racing drivers, such as Albert Divo, Robert Benoist and Bartolomeo 'Meo' Costantini, flew for the French Air Force, the French aviator legend Roland Garros privately drove a Bugatti Type 18 to be as fast on the road as in the air," says Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti. "It is therefore almost an obligation for us today to pay tribute to the legends of that time and dedicate a special edition to them." Each of the new models features a special, matte gray "Gris Serpent" paint job, which is inspired by the exterior color of aircrafts from the 1920s. The color extends front to rear with high-contrast, which gloss stripe running up the center. The front wings are adorned with the "Les Légendes du Ciel" logo. The "Le Bleu-Blanc-Rouge" tricolor decorates the front area of the side sills made of exposed black carbon fiber. At the front is Bugatti's traditional horseshoe radiator grille, finished in gloss black. The grille mesh is made of laser-cut and deep-drawn aluminum, and constructed in a dynamic pattern that that is repeated on the car's leather seats. Entry lights project the edition logo on the ground at entry while "Les Légendes du Ciel" logo on the middle console inlays. Bugatti has covered the engine with black exposed carbon fiber with contrasting white lettering. The material continues at the back where black exposed carbon fibre and a black-coated exhaust trim cover made of 3D printed, high-temperature-resistant Inconel dominate. The car's interior is almost entirely upholstered in leather. The leather's light brown color was chosen to be reminiscent of the natural leather in early aircrafts. On the door panels there is a hand-sketched racing scene between the Nieuport 17 aircraft and a Bugatti Type 13. The new Bugatti Chiron Sport "Les Légendes du Ciel" edition is limited to 20 vehicles. Every model is independently numbered and costs $3.5 million.

Nor is it properly said, “there be three times, past, present, and to come”: yet perchance it might be properly said, “there be three times; a present of things past, a present of things present, and a present of things future.” For these three do exist in some sort, in the soul, but otherwhere do I not see them; present of things past, memory; present of things present, sight; present of things future, expectation. –The Confessions of Saint Augustine, Book XI, an autobiographical work between AD 397 and 400 Barry Stone’s new show at Klaus, The Future of Things Past, reflects on the personal and the existential as filtered through photography, looking toward the impulse to create one’s own history and to recast memories and perceptions. Several of Stone’s images have been “databent,” a process in which the artist hacks into and manipulates the programming code of the photos, causing unpredictable glitches, while others remain “straight” photography. Two photographs installed near the entrance of the gallery act as a framing device for the show. The first, previously exhibited at Stone’s first show with the gallery over a decade ago, depicts his wife, Ann, peering out a window, pregnant with their daughter. In the second, taken in 2015, Ann reclines with an e-reader in hand, while the same daughter, now 10, stands in the background with her back to us, her position facing a window echoing that of her mother in the earlier photo. Stone bridges the time that has lapsed between the images through his use of photography, creating a relationship through two moments, past and present, and sealing memory in the images.Stone extends the relationship between time and image into a wider array of subjects. Two larger works feature his daughters, each seemingly caught in suspended animation. One of the girls is partially submerged in a lake, evoking Ophelia, while another stands in the family backyard, frozen as she faces away from the viewer, emitting bubbles from a wand in her hand. In another large photo, Stone looks toward a much longer, geological time, depicting a mountain landscape shot from a plane flying above. In two others, the same photograph of clouds are glitched in two different versions, rendering the imagery even more ephemeral through the databending process. The Future of Things Past is an exploratory memoir of chance operations. Stones’ two realms of experience and image making inform and distort one another, using photography to cast and recast photography perceptions of how the present came to be and pondering what form the future may take.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9651
__label__wiki	0.578951	0.578951	Nikolai Astrup: Painting Norway @ Dulwich Picture Gallery Nikolai Astrup (1880-1928) is one of Norway’s favourite painters, but a well-kept secret everywhere else. This typically thorough, persuasive, well-hung and attractive exhibition at the Dulwich Picture Gallery is the first major show of his work in the UK and a wonderful opportunity to explore a rare and beguiling sensibility. Astrup grew up in a remote part of coastal Norway, born in the village of Ålhus in Jølster, where his father was the Lutheran pastor. One of his early paintings shows a funeral procession to the local graveyard, set against the stunning scenery of the place. His father is the isolated figure at the front, still wearing the black robes and white tunic of the 17th century. Funeral Day in Jølster by Nikolai Astrup (Before 1908) The Savings Bank Foundation DNB/The Astrup Collection/KODE Art Museums of Bergen. Photo © Dag Fosse/KODE Nikolai was one of eight children. They grew up in a cold damp climate in a cold damp wooden parsonage, which was later condemned and demolished, but not before many of the Astrup children died of childhood ailments (scarcely believably, no fewer than three died in one traumatising week). Nikolai was a sickly child and spent a lot of time in bed, staring out of the windows. The parsonage The views of the lake and surrounding mountains, and the feeling of warmth and security, impressed themselves deeply on his childhood mind. When a young man he travelled to Paris, to Berlin, to study contemporary art, but his heart was always here in his native country, where he returned and lived and painted until his early death, aged 47 in 1928. The Parsonage by Nikolai Astrup. The Savings Bank Foundation DNB/The Astrup Collection/KODE Art Museums of Bergen. Photo © Dag Fosse/KODE Based in the same valley (he moved in adult life to a village across the lake) and haunted or inspired by those childhood memories, Astrup painted the same views, the same scenes, from different perspectives or viewpoints, over and again. Repetition with variations is a key aspect of Astrup’s art. Thus the first room contains a selection of early works, the most impressive of which are half a dozen versions of the same view – from the lakeside looking back at the village nestling in the shadow of its hills. Seen from this vantage point the most striking thing is the pattern of bright yellow marsh marigolds forming a striking yellow diagonal across the canvas. A Clear Night in June by Nikolai Astrup (1905-1907) The Savings Bank Foundation DNB/The Astrup Collection/KODE Art Museums of Bergen.Photo © Dag Fosse/KODE Night works These marigolds appear in numerous paintings and prints and, in another characteristic motif, often at night. The parsonage at night, the village at night, the marsh at night, even housework, even sowing and planting crops, a surprising range of activities are depicted being done at night. And then you realise – it’s Norway, with a short growing season and long, long nights. Of course night life, in this broadest of senses, would be a subject for him. And hence the large number of shimmering mysterious scenes painted by moonlight. Spring Night in the Garden Night work in the garden So Astrup’s art is entirely rural: there is nothing urban at all in these images, no towns let alone cities. Painting at the turn of the century, he is the opposite of the cosmopolitan Fauves and Expressionists and Futurists who were grabbing the headlines and who are the artists we mostly remember from that period. Astrup paints archetypal scenes of Norway – a lake, a snow-capped mountain and the brief spring and summer when the yellow marigolds and foxgloves blossom. A wet, green and often breath-taking country. March Atmosphere at Jølstravatnet by Nikolai Astrup (Before 1908) Private Collection, Oslo. Photo © Anders Bergersen Astrup’s human figures are not his strong point and could be described as naive or clumsy – at one point the commentary compares some distant figures to Lowry’s matchstick men – elsewhere the commentary mentions his liking for the paintings of the super-naive French painter, ‘le Douanier’ Rousseau, which he saw in Paris. There is something unrealistic about the hang of his subjects’ bodies and the faces are vague or unseen. But in this he was not unlike the more experimental contemporary painters who were abandoning a Renaissance-inspired, scientific accuracy of human depiction, in favour of shaping the human form into emblems, patterns or motifs in an art work. In this as in so many ways, Astrup’s work shimmers with the influence of his radical contemporaries, incorporates hints of it, but goes its own way. Take one of his most famous images, apparently a famous print in Norway, Foxgloves. Foxgloves by Nikolai Astrup (1927) Colour woodcut on paper. The Savings Bank Foundation DNB/The Astrup Collection/KODE Art Museums of Bergen. Photo © Anders BergersenPicture 008 Would it be better without the two girls picking mushrooms? Are they emphasising the gawky naivety of much of the detail in the image, or helping place it in a naturalistic tradition? This, like many of the other paintings, gave me a warm, happy, childhood feeling. His occasional clumsiness, the imperfection of the figures, just doesn’t matter compared to the warmth of his vision. Astrup married Engel, a farmer’s daughter from across the lake. She was just 15 so he would be arrested, named and shamed and called out on social media these days, but in those less intrusive and judgmental times it developed into a full and loving marriage. After some renting and moving about, in 1913 he bought a plot of land and buildings on the opposite side of the lake from Ålhus, at a place called Sandalstrand. In the following years he and his wife had no fewer than eight children. They built more buildings on the plot and planted and tended a wonderful garden. The roofs were covered in turves to keep them warm, on which the couple planted wild flowers. It looks magical and the exhibition includes enchanting black and white photos from the time showing loads of little children playing in what must have seemed a fairy land. Here Nikolai designed, planted and tended his beautiful garden (reminding me of the continent-wide passion for gardening which is recorded in the Royal Academy’s current show, Painting the Modern Garden). In fact he became well known in the area for cultivating over ten varieties of rhubarb and from the tasty wine he made from them. The buildings and garden are there to this day and have been turned into a museum, named Astrupnet. The exhibition has some stunning photos of them. Google images of Astrupnet Engel became a designer in her own right, showing an Arts and Crafts style interest in ‘the House Beautiful’, designing tapesties and carpets, curtains and rugs, ensuring the house was always full of flowers and fruit. Photos of the house show the very table cloth featured in this painting. Still Life Interior by Nikolai Astrup Mystery and symbolism But often there is something extra in these paintings. Hints and suggestions of the uncanny. He was aware of the Symbolists working in Paris and of other mystical trends in contemporary art and philosophy. But like the other influences of the time – the bold colour of the Fauves, the nonchalant attitude to human figures of the post-Impressionists – they are only hinted at, and only in some of Astrup’s work. The naked figure in the painting above: is she one of Astrup’s daughters come down for a midnight feast? Or something more arcane: a pixie or sprite from local folklore? Probably the image in which he lets himself go to express his native mysticism or paganism is the much-repeated image of a pollarded tree willow by a lake. The exhibition shows four or five versions of it, painted on canvas, and then made into a woodcut. The willow tree is obviously turning into a… what? A troll? A goblin? A human figure? A distant relative of the screaming man in his older contemporary, Edvard Munch’s, most famous painting? Spring Night and Willow by Nikolai Astrup (1917/after 1920) Colour woodcut on paper. The Savings Bank Foundation DNB/The Astrup Collection/KODE Art Museums of Bergen The (sensitive and informative) commentary tells us that Astrup himself pollarded the trees on his property and deliberately crafted them into semi-human shapes. It goes on to explain that the mountain on the horizon, painted in off-white, can be interpreted as the body of a naked woman lying on her back. He didn’t invent this, it’s actually what it looks like and was known in the vicinity as the ‘Ice Queen Mountain’. The Ice Queen wasn’t alone. In another painting of an apparently mundane village scene with hill, the commentary points out how you can make out in the snow-capped hilltop the features of an old friend of Astrup’s who had recently died. Most striking of all is the painting known as Grain poles, in which a group of spindly straw poles have magically been given eyes, and one has a stick leaning against it, like the walking stick of an old man. The paganism, if that’s what it is, the sense that the landscape is somehow responsive to human presence, is so subtle it is barely there. It flickers at the edge of the paintings’ consciousness. Midsummer bonfire celebration The sixth and final room in the show explores this side of Astrup, his understated pagan feel for the world around him and which is embodied in his numerous paintings of the Midsummer bonfire festival, which took place in all the surrounding valleys. His strict Lutheran father tried to keep young Nikolai and the other children away from this obviously pagan event, with its licentious music and the scandalous mingling of men and women, dancing to the leaping light of the shimmering flames. What a scene it must have made, and what a variety of ‘naive’, colourful and stylised images Astrup has made of it. Midsummer Eve Bonfire by Nikolai Astrup (After c.1917) The Savings Bank Foundation DNB/The Astrup Collection/KODE Art Museums of Bergen This is one of the many images which exist as oil paintings and as woodcuts, giving you the chance to see which medium you prefer. Astrup depended for his livelihood on woodcuts and prints, hussling friends to buy them or publicise them. The exhibition features many of these woodcuts and explains in fascinating detail how they were made and the arduous technical and physical difficulties Astrup faced (not least because the heavy wood he laboriously carved his images into sometimes warped, making the process of pressing paper against it to get a full, clean image, sometimes impossible, and always difficult). Since he reworked the same subjects over and over, you are able to directly compare the paintings and the woodcuts of similar viewpoints, ideas and motifs. Because I’ve always like strong lines and composition, I found myself warming to the woodcuts a bit more than the oils. Midsummer Eve Bonfire woodcut Among so many to choose from, I liked: A clear night in June (See top of this review) The commentary points out that you can see the silhouettes of two large figures in the foreground, which Astrup subsequently painted over. Maybe he lacked confidence in his human figures; maybe he realised the landscape was enough. Whatever the reason, they shed a typically ambiguous ghostly presence onto the scene. Growing season in Sandalstrand A later image which he recycled as black and white and colour prints, an image of simplicity, peacefulness and beauty. The moon in May Birthday in the garden A party of laughing children. Note Engel’s dress which, like many, she made herself. I wanted to feature several more but none of them were available on the internet. The contemporary scene Compare and contrast Astrup with similar scenes from a) the lingering 19th century figurative tradition: A l’approche du grain (1900) by Georges Paul François Laurent Laugée and b) the bold new avant-garde of someone like Cezanne The large bathers (1907) by Cezanne to see how Astrup reconciles the influences of his time, simplifying the human figure, using unnaturally bright and primary colours, but not departing in feel from a faithful naturalistic depiction of the scene in front of him. One of the pleasures of his paintings is the way they hold the powerfully conflicting influences of turn of the century art in such a delicate balance. They foreshadow much of the simplified rural art of between the wars, the childlike, book-illustration quality to be found in this country in the work of Paul Nash, or simpler, in Eric Ravilious. Astrup is not an instant classic. You don’t go Wow yes! at the sight of many of his paintings, and it is easy to pick out flaws of composition and colouring, especially of the people. But cumulatively, this gorgeous exhibition gives you a powerful sense of the landscape and climate and customs and quiet beauty of this under-explored part of the world and of a unique artist who ‘recorded Norway for the Norwegians’, but also left a legacy of lovely, colourful, life-affirming pictures for all of us.

Lipman, MD, FSIR About Atlanta Fibroid Center Directions to Dr. John Lipman’s ATLII Office News about Dr. Lipman Tour of Offices and Lab Facilities #DontLoseUrU: Is Female Physical Health Related to Emotional Wellbeing? September 21, 2020 October 22, 2018 by Dr. John Lipman REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT REQUEST A VIRTUAL CONSULTATION Are you concerned about having a hysterectomy? You should be because this decision may affect your future. A hysterectomy can be necessary in certain cases (such as cancer), but there are instances when it should be avoided because a hysterectomy can be accompanied by a number of side effects. Today, we would like to talk about female psychological health, and how it can be affected by a hysterectomy. Is women’s physical health and emotional wellbeing related? What emotional consequences can occur if a woman loses her “U”? Surgical removal of the uterus is a large-scale and complex surgery. Its risks should always be carefully considered. Possible side effects depend on a number of factors, such as age, general health, whether or not a woman is in menopause at the time of the procedure, and the type of hysterectomy. Healthcare providers often claim that the removal of uterus can’t cause any problems for a woman other than losing her ability to have children, but it is not true. Warning: What Can Happen If You Remove Your Uterus “Will I feel like a woman after surgery? Will I lose my sexual desire? Will I gain weight? Will menopause come immediately after surgery? It is dangerous?”. These and other questions are asked by women who have been offered surgery. And you should ask these questions because you need to know about what to expect. Hysterectomy Has Some Emotional and Physical Side Effects: Loss of childbearing function. Unfortunately, any patient who has her uterus removed is permanently deprived of the opportunity to have children. Hysterectomy leads to menopause. Estrogen is no longer produced. As a result, your body begins to adapt to functioning without estrogen. Unpleasant symptoms can occur a few days after surgery. To cope with side effects of a hysterectomy, doctors often prescribe drugs that replace estrogen. Reduced libido or complete loss of sexual desire. This can happen due to changes in the hormonal balance as a result of the surgery. Not all women face this problem but it happens quite often. Sexual problems. Sex also may be different after a hysterectomy. Some women complain of reduced frequency and intensity of orgasms, and pain during intercourse. A decrease in estrogen levels can cause vaginal thinning and vaginal dryness that can make sex painful. But hormone replacement therapy can help both, vaginal dryness and vaginal thinning. The shortening of the vaginal canal caused by removal of cervix may cause penetration difficulties. Constipation. Some women report constipation after hysterectomy because of various neurological, anatomical, hormonal or other factors. This is usually a temporary condition and can be prevented by increasing the amount of fiber and fruits in the diet. Also, women sometimes report gas issues. Urinary leaking. Urinary leaking after hysterectomy is common and a leading cause of adult diaper usage. Also, in some cases during surgery the bladder can be accidentally damaged which would necessitate a second surgery to repair. How These Side Effects Can Affect a Woman’s Psychological Health Psychological/emotional changes are often associated with hormonal changes that occur as a result of surgery. Women can experience nervousness, anxiety, and even depression; these are frequent companions of patients who have had a hysterectomy. You can add fatigue and frequent mood changes to the list. A surgery like hysterectomy is a big decision. It can have many psychological consequences. The decision is entirely up to you. Even the best doctors cannot know for sure what could happen during the surgery or after, especially when it comes to hysterectomy. Everyone’s reasons for the procedure and recovery process are individual. However, you should definitely consider all risks and treatment options available to you. When it comes to uterine fibroids, a hysterectomy is not the only available solution, even if your doctor does not think that you qualify for UFE. It’s always a good idea to ask for a second opinion. You do not have to lose your uterus because of uterine fibroids. You do not need to lose your “U”.

__label__wiki	0.99252	0.99252	Huawei restores Tencent games to its Chinese app store after dispute Steve Dent ·Associate Editor Huawei has pulled Tencent games like Arena of Valor from its app store because of a “big change” Tencent made in how the companies work together, according to a Bloomberg report. Huawei dominates the Chinese mobile market, accounting for 43 percent of smartphone shipments last quarter. Tencent, meanwhile owns the companies behind League of Legends and Clash of Clans, while operating local versions of games like PUBG and Monster Hunter: World. As such, the dispute could impact a lot of mobile gamers in the nation. Huawei told Bloomberg that its legal department recommended the decision because Tencent was asking to halt cooperation. Tencent, meanwhile, said that an agreement between the companies expired before a new one could be struck. All its titles disappeared from Huawei’s Chinese store early this morning (January 1st). Mobile gamers in China have seen a lot of games disappear recently for multiple reasons. For instance, Apple just pulled 39,000 games in its App Store because they lacked an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) from the Chinese government. Many Western titles were included in the purge, including Assassin’s Creed Identity and NBA 2K20, leaving just 74 of the top 1,500 paid games. As usual in cases like this, it’s the users who end up suffering. “We are communicating and negotiating with Huawei’s mobile game platform for a solution, and hope to resume our services soonest possible,” Tencent said in a statement. Update (11:30 AM ET): Reuters reports that the Tencent games have been restored after further negotiations, with a statement from the company that “both sides will continue to work together to bring better experiences and services to consumers.”	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9660

But he delivered a message. The Memphis Grizzlies point guard savant is ready to build on his spectacular Rookie of the Year campaign. Morant poured in a career-high 44 points as he set a Grizzlies scoring record in a season opener. He did it on 18-of-27 shooting from the field while adding a team-high nine assists. Morant also became one of six players in NBA history to score at least 40 points in the first game of his second season. The others: Elgin Baylor (52 in 1959), Walt Bellamy (43 in 1962), Wilt Chamberlain (42 in 1960), Shaquille O’Neal (42 in 1993) and Rick Barry (41 in 1966). Unfortunately for the Grizzlies, it wasn’t enough in a 131-119 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Morant’s sensational self-pass But Morant gave all he had in the effort, including this solo alley-oop in traffic off the glass that would play well in a dunk contest. JA. UNREAL.pic.twitter.com/jkQTijYNC9 — Yahoo Sports (@YahooSports) December 24, 2020 All DeMar DeRozan and Dejounte Murray could do was stare helplessly and flat-footed in the lane as Morant proceeded to dunk on them. It was just the latest example of basketball wizardry from the 6-foot-3 21-year-old who quickly staked his turf as one of the game’s most exciting players last season. Morant averaged 17.8 points, 7.8 assists and 3.9 rebounds while shooting 47.7% from the field as the NBA’s top rookie. If Wednesday’s any indication, he’s ready to take that game to a new level.

__label__wiki	0.739166	0.739166	ASX ends lower as US Senate vote unfolds Steven Deare Investors lost more than one per cent on the Australian share market as many worried about early US Senate election results in Georgia, which could give president-elect Joe Biden support for his full progressive agenda. The S&P/ASX200 benchmark index closed lower by 74.8 points, or 1.12 per cent, to 6607.1 on Wednesday. The All Ordinaries was down 74.3 points, or 1.07 per cent, at 6881.4. The ASX bucked a positive lead from Wall Street and followed US futures lower. The move came soon before early US Senate voting results showed the Democrats ahead for the two seats. If the Democrats win both, they should control the Senate. This would give Mr Biden power to implement his full suite of policies. While investors like Mr Biden's promise of economic stimulus, they are concerned tax reform and business regulation will affect financial returns. Investsmart market strategist Evan Lucas agreed ASX investors were worried about Mr Biden gaining more power. "There was always a belief in the market that a blue (Democrats) wave would possibly be a bad thing," he said. "Some policies Biden ran on were slightly against full, free-flowing market movements." This fear contributed to ASX investors siding with US futures, rather than Wall Street's lead. "There is no doubt that when US futures fell out of bed, we fell out of bed with it," Mr Lucas said. Most ASX sectors closed lower. Information technology plunged 3.54 per cent, and healthcare lost 2.32 per cent. Afterpay lost 4.49 per cent to $113.56, while health giant CSL shed 2.53 per cent to $278.38. A rare bright spot was the energy sector, which rose 1.61 per cent. Oil prices climbed nearly five per cent overnight after Saudi Arabia said it will make oil output cuts of 1 million barrels per day in February and March. The decision followed talks between the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. Saudi Arabia's cuts are aimed at persuading most producers to hold output steady amid concerns that more coronavirus lockdowns will lower demand. The oil price rise helped companies like Oil Search. It rose 5.71 per cent to $3.89. Worley climbed 3.56 per cent to $12.21. Domestically, Australia will distribute a coronavirus vaccine in early March, rather than late March as previously scheduled. The Morrison government said it would conditionally approve the Pfizer vaccine and begin vaccination efforts earlier following talks with regulators. In daily infection figures, NSW reported four and Victoria reported three. Each state had one case not linked to clusters. On the ASX, furniture retailer Nick Scali continued thriving after on Tuesday saying first-half underlying net profit is expected to be 100 per cent more to $40.5 million, compared to the same period in 2019. Shares closed up 6.18 per cent to $11.16. Insurance Australia Group (IAG) said it set catastrophe reinsurance for this calendar year to the same level as 2020, up to $10 billion. The company said there was a modest increase in reinsurance charges, but these were anticipated. Shares were up 1.08 per cent to $4.70. In mining, Fortescue hit a record price for a third consecutive day, $25.79. Shares closed lower by 0.56 per cent to $25.05. BHP dipped 0.2 per cent to $44.21 and Rio Tinto lost 1.73 per cent to $115.75. In banking, NAB fared worst of the big four. It shed 1.23 per cent to $22.41. Vote counting for the US Senate races in Georgia is likely to stop overnight and resume in the morning. The Aussie dollar was buying 77.80 US cents at 1721 AEDT, higher from 77.08 US cents at the close of trade on Tuesday. ON THE ASX * The S&P/ASX200 benchmark index closed lower by 74.8 points, or 1.12 per cent, to 6607.1 on Wednesday. * The All Ordinaries was down 74.3 points, or 1.07 per cent, at 6881.4. * At 1721 AEDT, the SPI200 futures was up three points, or 0.05 per cent, to 6547 points.

This Is the Most Popular Mortgage Lender in the U.S. US EPA to release update on biofuel blending waivers The most popular mortgage lender in the U.S. may also be the most driven to push the industry's evolution. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was expected to release an update late on Tuesday on pending waivers for oil refiners that would exempt them from U.S. biofuel blending obligations, EPA said in a notice. It was not immediately clear whether EPA would grant the pending waivers or reject them. The waivers have been a point of controversy, as ethanol producers say they hurt demand for their products, while oil refiners reject that claim and say they are necessary to keep small refiners afloat.

The online MBA degree, which is now accepting applications through the business school’s website, is a 12-month program that will be offered for $50,000, which is a $40,000 savings from the traditional program. The savings, along with the broadening of students served by Baylor outside of the Waco area, are two reasons Dr. Gary Carini, associate dean of graduate programs for the business school, said he is excited for the program’s launch. “We’ve been planning this for about 18 months,” Carini said. “This is not just a business school project. This is a joint project with financial aid, the cashier’s office, the registrar’s office and the Graduate School. It took an entire team to take us from initial planning to where we are now.” Baylor’s online MBA program is unlike others offered around the nation because there has not been one that distinctly works to maintain a Christian and ethical component, Carini said. Pattie Orr, vice president for information technology and dean of university libraries, said this effort by Baylor to open up to the online learning community is charged in large part by the Teaching, Learning & Technology Committee which reports to the Office of the Provost. The committee considers technological advancements in education. This past year, Dr. Elizabeth Davis, executive vice president and provost, charged the committee with exploring online courses and how best they could be incorporated at Baylor. “We must keep our eyes on the horizon to anticipate genuine challenges—and changes,” Davis said in her opening letter of the Teaching, Learning & Technology Committee’s June 2013 report “Engaging the Future of Higher Education.” The committee, which is made up of faculty from each school within Baylor and several graduate students, heard from several speakers and considered data that suggested the next move for online learning should target post-graduate and professional degrees. “Lots of research, talking and student feedback went into this,” Orr said. “If we were going to complete this we wanted the same rigor and quality we have on campus.” Baylor already has an online doctorate program used within the School of Social Work and, at the beginning of this spring semester, launched the Semester Online program that offeres virtual courses from colleges around the nation. Orr said the feedback from students on having online options has been positive. The possibility of online courses during the summer of 2015 for undergraduates is something the committee is considering and researching, she said. “I myself, as a professional, think this is really significant for people who work and who really want a Baylor degree,” Orr said. “I think this MBA program, even though its online, will be distinctly Baylor and very successful.” To help Baylor recruit students and covert the degree program to an online application, the university has hired Academic Partnerships, a company that specializes in helping institutions benefit from technology, according to the company’s website. Carini said, although it is an online program, it is charged by Baylor professors who will work closely with students just as they do in the classroom. In fact, Carini said he is excited to see which online tools prove to be helpful and later incorporated in on-campus classes. One aspect he said is particularly excited about is the ability to interact with students that, in the past, might have chosen a school other than Baylor because of distance issues. Carini said undergraduates at admissions fairs would often inquire if Hankamer School of Business had an online option for graduate students. “We can finally answer ‘yes,’” he said.

The features will go live at existing Robocoin ATMs around the world, as well as internet-enabled cashiers who install the Romit application. The technology leverages the bitcoin blockchain in order to provide cheap money transfers at rates competitive with Western Union and MoneyGram. Also read: Casinos, Las Vegas & Bitcoin ATMs Robocoin was one of the earliest entrants in the bitcoin ATM space, releasing its first machine in October 2013. It was the first time customers could visit a physical location that would allow them to buy and sell bitcoin for cash. Since then, the company has faced challenges, such as strict know-your-customer requirements and shipping delays for some machine operators. Now, the company is taking a somewhat different approach with their business. With the debut of the Romit remittance software and parallel rebranding, Robocoin is making an aggressive play on international money transfers. The product uses blockchain technology to facilitate cheap, instant transfers of cash without making customers deal with bitcoin themselves. Cash goes in and cash comes out — the blockchain handles the rest in the background. Screenshot of money transfer using Romit. The sender simply enters the phone number and location of the person they want to send it to, and the machine handles the rest. It automatically notifies the receiver via SMS message and gives the location of the nearest Romit-enabled machine where they can withdraw. The person receiving the money goes to pick it up, verifies their identity, and receives the cash in their local currency. End users never need to use a bitcoin wallet or worry about volatility. For their services, Romit charges a flat 4% fee on any amount of transferred funds. This means that a transfer of $20 costs $0.80, a transfer of $100 costs $4, and so on. That rate compares favorably to traditional competitors in remittances — such as Western Union and MoneyGram — whose highly variable rates can fall anywhere between 7% and 50%. The cost difference is especially pronounced in transfers less than $200. Expanding Scope of Cheap Remittances Although Robocoin first launched almost two years ago, its bitcoin ATMs haven’t achieved the level of penetration that some had expected or hoped for. There are currently only a handful of Robocoin ATMs installed around the world in cities such as Vancouver, Las Vegas, Mountain View, London, Singapore, Melbourne and Sydney. So although the machines can be found in several different countries, Robocoin simply hasn’t sold enough of them to support a global remittance network. However, that is where the Romit software comes into play. The company has essentially rendered its own ATM obsolete by building an application which performs all of the necessary remittance functions on whatever device it’s installed on. The app is compatible with smartphones, tablets, and PCs — as well as any web-enabled kiosk, cash register, or traditional cash ATM. This opens up a massive potential user base that can be set up to send remittances on the blockchain. Screenshot of location selection within Romit. “Romit lets Robocoin’s operators scale their businesses – not by buying more kiosks, but by onboarding partner stores with the Cashier app,” CEO Jordan Kelley told TechCrunch. “For example, our partners in Romania and Italy, a $1.1bn remittance corridor, have their sights set on market penetration and are looking to scale from three kiosks each to hundreds of Romit-enabled human and machine locations before the end of 2015.” By pivoting the company’s focus away from bitcoin trading and toward global remittances, Robocoin is staking its claim on a market that is highly susceptible to disruption. It was already possible to use bitcoin — and especially bitcoin ATMs — as an avenue for cheaply transferring money across the world. Now, Romit is attempting to make that process short, sweet, and to the point — all while the bitcoin blockchain powers it in the background. Do you think Romit will take off as a cheap solution for remittances? Sound off in the comments below!

Four out of every five Germans killed in action died on the Eastern Front. Comparisons of national casualty figures should make British and American posterity grateful to their national leaders of that time, who husbanded the lives of their young men so effectively in the greatest conflict in human history. But they also go far to explain why Russians were, and remain, so contemptuous of the Western role in the war. Marshall never directly acknowledged that he was wrong, in 1942–1943, to press for an early landing in France. He failed to understand, first, the staggering combat power of Hitler’s armies; and second, that once committed on the Continent, the scale of engagement was beyond Allied power to determine. What the Anglo-Americans might wish to perceive as a limited operation to relieve pressure on the Russians, the Germans could meet in overwhelming strength, without much weakening their forces on the Eastern Front. Even when the US Army was fully mobilized in 1944–1945, it never became large enough to face the full weight of the Wehrmacht. All Western Allied strategy had to rely upon a reality, recognized by the British, that the Russians must do most of the fighting necessary to destroy Nazism. The President was certainly brutal to Churchill, brushing him aside in a naive attempt to forge a bilateral relationship with Stalin. But while the prime minister’s quest for Polish freedom was honorable, it was never realistic. The Western Allies fought their war at their own relatively leisurely pace, which enabled them to emerge in August 1945 having lost only 400,000 British lives and 300,000 American, against the Russians’ 28 million. Stalin was implacably determined to reap an appropriate return for his nation’s staggering blood-price. By the time his armies took Berlin they were militarily invincible on the Continent. Churchill told Eden in December 1941 that he believed the US and Britain would emerge mighty from the war, while Russia would be vastly weakened by it. In reality, of course, despite Britain’s nominal place among the victors, it was almost as comprehensively ruined as the vanquished or occupied countries. Nothing that Churchill might have done would have averted this fate. His leadership had merely enabled the British to play a noble part, from which they have derived pride ever since. In 1945, Stalin believed that he was the most successful Allied war leader, having gained an empire in Eastern Europe and further territorial prizes in Asia. Neither Russia nor the world would understand for several decades that Soviet military dominance was purchased at the cost of an economic sclerosis that eventually undid the Communist system. US triumph was much more soundly based. The nation emerged from the conflict with unsurpassable wealth as well as strategic reach. Roosevelt and Marshall had brilliantly managed American emergence from pre-war isolation onto the world stage. Their only conspicuous failure was the attempt to make Chiang Kai-shek’s China an effective belligerent and a great power sympathetic to American policy objectives. It remains a persistent delusion on both sides of the Atlantic that World War II was won without the slaughter that characterized the 1914–1918 conflict. In truth, of course, the same ghastly attrition proved necessary to achieve victory, but it took place in the East. When Roosevelt and Churchill, Marshall and Brooke convened, they flattered themselves that they were planning a strategy for victory. In truth, they were merely shaping plans for helping Stalin’s people to win. 1900-talets historia Föregående inlägg:”A Hanging” (Orwell 1931) Nästa inlägg:Orwell om den franska civilisationen	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line9669
__label__cc	0.592767	0.407233	A Constructivist Approach to Iran Spells Certain Disaster A Deadly Double Down Peter Baker writes, in a New York Times piece, that President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran represents a pivotal “moment of truth” for his “ambitions to remake the world.” Baker refers to the deal as a “gamble,” a “prospect,” a “holy grail.” This language of tantalizing evokes a sense of teasing, baiting, and peril. Combine Iran with the words “nuclear” and “peril,” and the stakes of Obama’s failure equal death on par with that seen last century. Welcome to Constructivist Foreign Policy Theory–the least-trusted foreign policy approach respected only within liberal academia. Admittedly, the optimism of Constructivist Theory (or Constructivism) provides an alluring argument capable of ensnaring the naive and the desperate. Constructivism holds that a table is only a table because we recognize it as such. Stand on that table and sing a song and the table becomes a stage. Likewise, a rogue nation is only a rogue nation because it is viewed by others as such. Therefore, treat the nation as a responsible one, and it will rise to its new designation. While the theory does an excellent job creating stage props for a play, its application in foreign policy presents many more limitations. Its adherents point to terrorist groups turned respectable political parties as proof of Constructivism’s success and potential. Sinn Fein, Hamas, and increasingly the Taliban, evolved from shadowy butchers to doughy politicians. Neo-Realism itself, another foreign policy theory, shares some Constructivist assumptions while avoiding Constructivism’s skeptics and critics. Of course, not only do theorists argue about Constructivism’s role in transforming these groups, but the consequences of getting the answer wrong–of misapplying the pollyanna theory–equal violence. Baker highlights this point by detailing Iran’s troubling recent history: “[Iran] has been the most sustained destabilizing force in the Middle East–a sponsor of the terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas, a supporter of Shiite militias that killed American soldiers in Iraq, a patron of Syria’s government in its bloody civil war, and now a backer of rebels who pushed out the president of Yemen.” Why pursue this strategy with Iran? Mr. Obama’s coziness with Constructivism comes as no surprise: The president fashions himself a product of the Elite American University. Here, political hypotheses live artificially long lives, protected from their certain death by a lack of implementation. Obama also posits that with Benjamin Netanyahu’s reelection, peace between Israel and Palestine, the true Holy Grail for American presidents, and one that if attained would justify his Nobel Peace Prize, appears impossible. Reforming Iran represents the last hope to offset his prolific use of drone strikes. Then, there is the question of Obama’s desperation and naivety. Cliff Kupchan, an Iran specialist speaks to the former: “Right now, he has no foreign policy legacy…He’s got a list of foreign policy failures.” Peggy Noonan echoes this point: “Syria, red lines, an exploding Mideast, a Russian president who…made a move, upsetting a hard-built order that had maintained for a quarter-century since the fall of the Soviet Union–what a mess.” Baker piles on: “Rather than building a new partnership with Russia, he faces a new cold war. Rather than ending the war in Iraq, he has sent American forces back to fight the Islamic State…Rather than defeating Al Qaeda, he finds himself chasing its offshoots. Rather than forging peace in the Middle East, he said recently that is beyond his reach.” Indeed, the Administration seeks a “win” to salvage its foreign policy reputation. On the topic of naivety, Obama loyalists disagree that it applies to him. His own words, though, undermine these defenders: “Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.” The cute line, with its tone ripped from his 2008 campaign, fails to recognize that Iran rightly inspires reason to fear. Moreover, a Constructivist approach threatens to strengthen and embolden Iran–pitting an intangible goal, a foreign policy pin on his empty chest, against a tangible alternative, the millions of charred bodies of our allies, if not some of our own. Obama’s “gamble” with Iran is a fool’s bet. Posted on April 3, 2015 April 7, 2015 Author J.
