African Textile Exhibitions in 2011 by opening date..
Africa Interweave: Textile Diasporas
Samuel P. Harn Museum, University of Florida
”Whether worn for work, masquerades, sacred ceremonies, or adorning the home or shrine, textiles are one of the most vibrant art forms on the African continent. Textiles have rich and diverse cultural histories. The exhibition will illustrate the continuity of textile designs and techniques from past to present, highlighting innovations, contemporary fashion and works inspired by traditional practices.
Art on display in the exhibition will be selected from the Harn collection, with many newly acquired works, including those recently commissioned from African textile artists. Loans from private collections and other institutions will also enhance the exhibition.”

Global Patterns: Dress and Textiles in Africa
April 13 2011 – January 8 2012
“This exhibition focuses on the accomplishments of African weavers, dyers, bead embroiderers, and tailors, and highlights continuities, innovation, and the exchange of ideas from within and without that mark dress and textile production in Africa. More than any other artistic expression, dress and textile production in Africa demonstrates the continuous links of the Continent with the outside world. Throughout centuries, African textile artists seamlessly and joyfully integrated into their visual vocabulary new design elements and new materials such as glass beads, buttons, and fabrics that arrived as the result of trade with Europe and places as far away as India and Indonesia. They added to or transformed existing traditions, and at times created new types of textiles and garments. Beadwork among the Ndebele peoples of South Africa and the Yoruba peoples of Nigeria, Kente cloth in Ghana and Togo, and Yoruba indigo-dyed cloths called Adire are among the highlights of the display.
Africans, in particular those living along the coasts, have been in contact with Europeans and other foreigners since the sixteenth century. Therefore, it is not surprising that clothing styles common in Europe also appeared early on among African elites. Certainly by the late nineteenth century, when many African regions had come under colonial rule, salaried employees who worked for colonial administrations, merchants, and increasingly the educated residents of growing urban centers were aware of fashion trends in Europe and began to follow them. They picked and chose inventing new hybrid styles, and always went with the times. Trade cloth and photographs help explore these aspects of African creativity.
The adoption of new ideas was not a one-way street, however: a small section in the exhibition demonstrates the way in which Europeans and Americans were equally intrigued by African dress and adornment. By the 1920s, African forms inspired fashions and design on both continents, part of creative exchanges that continue to this day.”
Weaving Abstraction:
Kuba Textiles and the Woven Art of Central Africa
The Textile Museum, Washington
October 15, 2011 through February 19, 2012
“The textiles of the Kuba kingdom are among the most distinctive and spectacular works of African art. Emerging in the early 17th century, the Kuba kingdom grew into a powerful and wealthy confederation of 18 different ethnic groups located in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. While they have fascinated artists, collectors and designers for over a century, this will be the first major museum exhibition in the U.S. to showcase the artistic inventiveness and graphic power of Kuba ceremonial dance skirts within a wide-ranging survey of Kuba design. More than 50 exceptional 19th- and early 20th-century objects will be on view, including ceremonial skirts, ‘velvet’ tribute cloths, headdresses and basketry from the permanent collection of The Textile Museum, the National Museum of African Art, and several private collections.”
Please do let me know if you are aware of others….

A pun-ishing yet pleasant read
There is a long tradition of humorous fantasy that has followed two broadly diverging paths - a more sophisticated route in the UK (typified by Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, whose writing, though apparently science fiction could probably be more accurately classed as fantasy) and a rather less subtle approach in the US.
This American genre varies from the hugely entertaining Amber stories of Roger Zelazny (which are primarily adventures, but maintain the wry humour of a noir detective story) to downright silly but fun romps like Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming (also by Zelazny). But I had not realized quite how far these books could go in intensity of groan production until coming across Board Stiff.
The book was written by Piers Anthony, a long standing member of the SF and fantasy community who may never have been quite in the first rank, but has turned out many readable tales over the years. It was, I admit, with some trepidation that I approached the book when it was offered to me as it is number 38 (no, not a typo) in the Xanth series of novels. It really is hard to imagine someone reaching that number without churning them out (with the exception of Pratchett), but I was willing to give it a go, having been assured that no previous knowledge of Xanth was required.
Overall the experience was surprisingly pleasant. What we have here is a classic quest story, with a likable cast of characters and some impressive tasks to achieve and obstacles to be overcome. I particularly liked the character Astrid, a basilisk in human form, struggling with the conflict of wanting to taste humanity while being deadly to the species. But there is a price to payment which is coping with the numerous puns that litter the book. Practically everything we meet is a pun of some sort, from the strong drink boot rear, to the central character Irrelevant Kandy, who is either ignored if known by her full name, or lusted after if known as I Kandy. Even the central arc of the story concerns puns and their importance to Xanth.
Kandy's name also brings out the other slightly cringe-making aspect of the series, which is a 1950s-esque coyness about sex, which has been codified into a complex running joke. (Babies, for instance, really are brought by the stork, and the sight of a girl's panties causes any man to freeze in his tracks and remain comatose until snapped out of it.) Combined with a very simplistic writing style this will put a fair number of readers off, though I found it tolerable as long as the book is read with the same sort of 'dated approach' mental filter you have to apply now when reading, say, Asimov's Foundation series.
Overall, an enjoyable, lightweight way to spend a few hours. Unless you are true pun-head it is unlikely to give more than passing amusement, but it is, in the manner of the Earth in Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, mostly harmless.
Board Stiff is available from 6 January 2014 and can be pre-ordered before then on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com.

2017 VFW Pinball Showcase Wrap-Up May 16, 2017 by Ryan Claytor
This was the third consecutive year I exhibited my pinball artwork at the VFW Pinball Showcase and like the past couple years the game count increased by another 50 games or so from the prior year (up to approximately 350 pinball machines now), which made for an even more gloriously sensory-boggling experience. Any attempt to distill an experience like this into a concise website post feels pretty futile, like failed endeavors to show the grandeur of the Grand Canyon via a photograph. Nevertheless, here we go.
The weekend started on a Friday when I threw my hat in the ring to compete for the E.M. World Championship.
(E.M. stands for electro-mechanical…in laymen’s terms, it refers to those old pinball machines with score reels instead of digital displays.) Last year I did alright and came in about 5th place out of 64 entrants. This year I didn’t even make it to the half-way point. Regardless, I managed a couple wins, one against a player ranked 8th in the world, and met a goodly number of friendly folks just as nutty about this wonderful hobby as I am.
Once I was ousted, I set up my display…
…and prepared for exhibiting my work for the coming weekend. I swear, this is where I spent the majority of my time, but like Comic-Con International, it’s hard to chain myself to the booth for the entire day. I did manage to play a number of new-to-me and rare machines. Ready for a list? Well, here it comes anyway.
One of the highlights of my weekend was playing this rare Bally “Vampire” brought by Basil who drove it out from Colorado:
The over-inked artwork has always found a charming place in my heart:
…and honestly I’d hoped that I would dislike the gameplay just so I could take it off my wishlist. Unfortunately, it had some fabulous risk/reward features that left me wanting more. *sigh* On my wishlist it stays. It was a pleasure chatting with Basil about his game and getting to know him over the course of the weekend (and over the course of a little competition on Vampire).
A number of vendors brought some of the newer games, like Hobbit, Dialed In, and Aerosmith, all of which I’d played before, but I’m glad I got to put a game on the Spooky-built “Domino’s” machine for my first time:
While the aforementioned titles were brought by outsiders, the OVERWHELMING majority of the games are housed onsite year-round. Another perk of the show; attendees don’t need to haul their games to the show in order to populate it, and everything is in good working order since the VFW (Vintage Flipper World) Club maintains them throughout the year. From here on out, every game I mention is owned by the VFW grand poobah, Clay Harrell.
Let’s start with some early solid state gems, like Bally Vector:
…and Electra:
And keeping in the Bally stable, I played a “The Wiggler” from 1967:
…with it’s wacky “Chicane Lane”:
“On Beam” was a game I took a fancy to last year and came back for more in 2017:
But “Dogies” was a new one on me that has now been added to my (ever-expanding) wish list. It has zipper flippers that snap together to prevent ball drains and a genius series of diverter gates on the left side of the playfield which create a variety of interesting ball paths and scoring possibilities:
There was also an entire row of Gottlieb “wedge-heads”. 1971’s “4 Square” was a title I’d not tried prior to this weekend and I really enjoyed the easy-to-understand ruleset of acquiring a sequence of numbered targets around the playfield.
Each time the sequence is completed, your ability to score increases in some way:
Pretty refreshing when the entire objective of the game can be explained through one simple diagram on the playfield art, in contrast to the pages of rules needed to describe more modern pinball games.
Pinball is traditionally thought of as an American art form (in America, at least), but there have been a number of lesser known manufacturers from Europe, such as Italian companies like Zaccaria and Technoplay, both of which are represented at the VFW. This next game is a “Space Team” produced by Technoplay:
…and despite being bitten by the pinball bug pretty hard, I’d never even heard of this game before. It had these odd vaccum-formed elevated side ramp…THINGS…that acted kind of like a half-pipe or a swimming pool for a skateboard. Just check-out those interesting diagonal-bottom switches that conform to the topography of the vaccum-formed side-sections of the playfield:
Where to go from here? Like I said, it was a wonderful weekend of overwhelm. Here’s what I saw from my sales booth all weekend:
Reality wasn’t a lot less overwhelming.
In addition to pinball, there were also examples of electro-mechanical arcade games (which shrewd readers will know I’ve taken a fancy to), such as old shooting gallery style arcades, pitch-n-bats, roll-down games, big ball bowlers, skee ball, and even a 1968 Williams “Space Pilot”, that allows you to control a dual-propeller spacecraft to connect with several targets positioned throughout the cabinet:
There was even a pile of games to be restored. One anomaly in the heap was Midway’s “Bullseye”, a backlit animation game of darts (which I’d only seen pictures of before) Witnessing it in-person I was really taken aback by its size, practically the width of two pinball machines(!??!):
Believe it or not, all this sight-seeing was punctuated by long stints at my booth. It was a pleasure to meet so many hobbyists, both new and old. I even saw a number of my pinball t-shirts wandering around the show:
…which is always pretty gratifying.
There were also a few other exhibitors of pinball parts, backglasses, virtua-pins, and custom shooter rods (yes, all these things are exciting when you’re down the rabbit-hole this far). One such vendor had a stack of parts that I didn’t need, but recognized a few things my pinball homies did, like a new old stock set of James Bond plastics (still wrapped in the original paper from the factory when it was packaged over 35 years ago) and this bingo lockdown bar I managed to snag for only a dollar!
YEAH!!! 😀
This next machine is sort of a buried lead. Although, really, they all feel like buried leads to me as each one of these machines is so uniquely interesting. However, this one of Harry Williams’ (a big deal in pinball) “lost playfield designs”:
…for which the original architectural drawings was recently resurrected and constructed from scratch by an ambitious and brilliant guy by the name of Duncan Brown. He crafted an awe-inspiring and touching account of Typhoon’s build over here on his site:
http://backglass.org/williams/tlpdohw/expo2016/
I don’t care if you’re tired of reading about pinball, you should go read this ^^^ story in its entirety.
I also heard that this… \/\/\/
…was another Duncan Brown creation, only this one was originally built back in the 80’s.
It seems the longer I’m involved in the pinball hobby, the older my preference in games has become. I started my collection with a couple titles from the 90’s. Since then I’ve progressively worked back to titles from the 80’s, 70’s, 60’s, & 50’s, which brings us to my current area of interest, a couple rows of woodrail pinball machines from the VFW show, all from the 1950’s:
I was in my glory in these largely neglected rows. Many of the overlooked titles here were the source of true pinball innovations. A healthy number of those innovations have been repeated through time into the present and despite using limited electro-mechanical technology, many of the pinball machines from the 50’s have surprisingly complex rulesets with multiple ways to win replays.
One such title was Gottlieb’s “Sweet Add-A-Line” originally produced in 1955:
This Wayne Neyens’ designed game with Roy Parker artwork had a thinly-disguised bingo-inspired backglass and ruleset. By rolling over specific lanes you could light rows of adding-paper which light a “Special” gobble-hole to earn replays.
This game had such fabulously frustrating and addictive game play. I put up probably half-a-dozen games, got within one shot of collecting the “Special” on a few games, but never managed to secure the win. I can see how this would have killed on location in the 50’s.
Another woodrail I was lucky enough to play was a Williams “Nine Sisters”:
Interesting in the fact that it was a one-flipper game! I never suspected a one-flipper layout could be designed in such a balanced and fun system of shots and targets. However, when I was playing it I almost forgot that the traditional second flipper wasn’t present. It also has one of the first ramps on a pinball machine in this ingenious system of kick-outs on the left side:
As if one flipper were too many, prior to late 1947, pinball games used to not have any flippers (because they hadn’t been invented yet)! Williams’ Mid-1947 title, “Torchy,” was one of these games:
…notable for the fact that it had a couple of electromagnets on the playfield! It got me excited playing it in 2017 and I can only imagine what this experience would have felt like 70 years prior when it was first released:
It even had a projection unit for the number of replays, which is just the coolest:
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the great time I had at the end of the show with the fine family of ULEKstore.com. Husband and wife owners, David and LeAnn, came to the show with son, Matthew. We wrapped up the weekend with a really enjoyable session on a big ball bowler in one of the back rooms.
Naturally, Matthew wiped the floor with all of us geezers.
Ultimately, this neon-clad oasis of pin not only maintains one of the largest, best-maintained, and widest-era-spanning collections of pinball in the world, but it is continually expanding in order to keep that title firmly in its corner.
To owner, Clay, and crew, thanks for running such a tight ship and an unparalleled show. Here’s to many years to come!
MikeMay 16, 2017 @ 10:41 am
Nice write up. No matter how many times I go, there’s still “new” games to see. The longer I’m in the hobby the more pre-DMD games appeal to me and VFW is the place to play, see and appreciate them.
Sounds like we’re in a similar place in our pinball journey and appreciation, Mike. Thanks for stopping by.

Before purchasing a computer, you will need to decide whether a desktop or laptop would be best suited for your needs. Both have advantages and disadvantages, depending on what they will be used for, so you would firstly need to look at the reason for purchasing a computer and then the advantages and benefits of both desktops and laptops, which would then determine which one would suit your needs.
Take a look at the advantages and benefits of both desktops and laptops below, to help you decide which to purchase.
Image Courtesy of Edit Microsystems
Desktop computers offer a variety of benefits, they not as portable as a laptops, but can be a more affordable and powerful option, with more features than Laptop computers, therefor ideal for a classroom, office or organisation. There are also a variety of other advantages that Desktops have over Laptop, which include:
Desktop computers are easier, and less expensive, to upgrade.
Desktop computers are generally less expensive overall and offer a better overall value.
Desktop computers have a more comfortable keyboard and a much easier to use mouse. It should be noted that an aftermarket large, comfortable Keyboard and Mouse or Trackball, are also possible.
Desktop computers generally have larger monitors, but bigger monitors can also be connected to Laptops.
Desktop computers have a lower risk of theft, which means less chance of losing your data and having to pay to replace your computer.
There are a variety of different types of Desktops which are available from various companies in South Africa, including:
Desktop Computers From Edit Microsystems: Edit Microsystems can supply desktop computers from all brands to your unique specification requirements.

A Laptop, sometimes called a Notebook, is a portable personal computer, which has a Keyboard and screen that can be folded shut for transportation. Laptops are extremely useful for working on while traveling or for people who have to spend time in bed or hospital and still need to work on their Laptops.
Other advantages of a Laptop computer, as compared to a Desktop computer include:
Laptop computers are highly portable and allow you to use your computer almost anywhere.
If you are an international student, a laptop computer will be much easier to transport from home to school and back again.
Laptop computers take up less room on a desk or table and can be put away when not in use.
Laptop computers have a single cord to contend with, rather than the multiple cords associated with desktop computer use.
A more comfortable Keyboard and Mouse or Trackball can be purchased to use instead of those used by the Laptop.
Desktop computers generally have larger monitors, but bigger monitors can also be connected to Laptops to use when at home.
While the list of advantages of a laptop computer may seem sparse when compared to a desktop computer, essentially, the choice comes down to portability versus functionality and cost. While desktop computers are less expensive, more powerful and more user-friendly, there is a lot to be said for being able to work, check emails, chat online, write papers and play video games anytime and anywhere you like. This is particularly true if you are a person with Mobility Impairments. An External Hard Drive can also be used to store and backup work if space is an issue.
There are a variety of different types of Laptops which are available from various companies in South Africa, such as:
Laptops from Edit Microsystems: Edit Microsystems can supply Laptop computers from all brands to your unique specification requirements. If you know what you are looking for, you can send them your specifications and they will quote you.

When people produce braille, this is called braille transcription. When computer software produces braille, this is called braille translation. Braille translation software exists to handle most of the common languages of the world, and many technical areas, such as: mathematics (mathematical notation), for example WIMATS; music (musical notation) and tactile graphics.
They allow, using standard or specific programs, screen magnification and conversion of text into sound or touch (Braille line), and are useful for all levels of visual handicap. OCR scanners can, in conjunction with text-to-speech software, read the contents of books and documents aloud via computer. Vendors also build closed-circuit televisions that electronically magnify paper, and even change its contrast and color, for visually impaired users. For more information, consult Assistive technology.
Although people who are blind use speech output systems to read aloud electronic documents, tactile formats are often most effective in highly technical disciplines such as mathematics, physics, computer science, and engineering. Braille translation software translates electronic documents into Braille code. From these files, a refreshable Braille display can present tactile Braille or a Braille embosser can produce a hard-copy on special paper.
Commonly used products include:
Duxbury Braille Translator
MegaDots
Braille2000.
Open source Braille translation programs include:
NFBTrans
LibLouis.
Specific applications provide support for a wide array of electronic document formats that may include ASCII, RTF, MS Word, Word Perfect, PDF, HTML, and XML, as well as files prepared according to the NIMAS textbook or DAISY digital talking book standards. Some products also support math equation formats, such as LaTeX, MathType, or MathML.
A Braille keyboard is a specialist input device that allows the user to type and enter text or instructions for the computer in Braille, which is a writing system for blind and visually impaired people. It is made up of raised dots that can be 'read' by touch. As the user runs their fingers over the keys, they can feel the bumps that represent keys. There are a variety of different types and styles of these keyboards, including Bluetooth powered Braille keyboard that can connect to a computer, smartphone or tablet (if they are Bluetooth enabled).
There are also various cheaper alternatives, including Braille Stickers and Braille keyboard covers.
There are a variety of devices are available from companies such as Sensory Solutions and are sold in South Africa. They include products such as:

There are a variety of other products that are available that further effect the use and sale of Braille Books and make reading and books more enjoyable and easier to read. This includes a refreshable braille display or braille terminal, which is an electro-mechanical device for displaying braille characters, usually by means of round-tipped pins raised through holes in a flat surface. Blind computer users who cannot use a computer monitor can use it to read text output. Speech synthesizers are also commonly used for the same task, and a blind user may switch between the two systems or use both at the same time depending on circumstances. Deafblind computer users may also use refreshable braille displays.
The base of a refreshable braille display is a pure braille keyboard. There, the input is performed by two sets of three keys plus a space bar (as in the Perkins Brailler), while output is via a refreshable braille display consisting of a row of electromechanical character cells, each of which can raise or lower a combination of six (or in some cases, eight) round-tipped pins. Other variants exist that use a conventional QWERTY keyboard for input and braille pins for output, as well as input-only and output-only devices.
Orbit Reader 20: The Orbit Reader 20 is an affordable refreshable braille display. It is a unique 3-in-1 device and serves as a self-contained book reader, a note-taker and as a braille display by connecting to a computer or smartphone via USB or Bluetooth.

These Orbit Readers are available to purchase in South Africa from organizations and companies such as Sensory Solutions, contact them to find out more, or to receive a quote.
The software that controls the display is called a screen reader. It gathers the content of the screen from the operating system, converts it into braille characters and sends it to the display. Screen readers for graphical operating systems are especially complex, because graphical elements like windows or slidebars have to be interpreted and described in text form. Modern operating systems usually have an Application Programming Interface to help screen readers obtain this information, such as UI Automation (UIA) for Microsoft Windows, VoiceOver for OS X and iOS, and AT-SPI for GNOME.
Screen readers are a form of assistive technology (AT) which are essential to people who are blind or visually impaired, to read the text that is displayed on the computer screen. They fall under the category of Computer & Electronic Aids on this web site and are also useful to people who are illiterate or suffer from a learning disability.
A screen reader is a software application which converts text into 'synthesised speech' allowing the user to alternatively listen to content. It is the interface between the computer's operating system, its applications, and the user. The content displayed in screen is sent to standard output, whether a video monitor is present or not. Interpretations are then synthesised to the user with text-to-speech, sound icons, or a Braille output device.
Examples of screen reader software include:
Microsoft Windows operating systems have included the Microsoft Narrator light-duty screen reader since Windows 2000.
Apple Inc. Mac OS X, iOS, and tvOS include VoiceOver, a feature-rich screen reader, while Google's Android includes Google Text-to-Speech, also on Android, Samsung devices have Samsung Text-to-Speech.
The console-based Oralux Linux distribution ships with three console screen-reading environments: Emacspeak, Yasr, and Speakup.
BlackBerry 10 devices such as the BlackBerry Z30 include a built-in screen reader. There is also a free screen reader application for older less powerful BlackBerry (BBOS7 and earlier) devices.
There are also popular free and open source screen readers, such as:
The Orca for Unix-like systems
NonVisual Desktop Access for Windows.
The most widely used screen readers are separate commercial products:
JAWS from Freedom Scientific
Window-Eyes from GW Micro
Dolphin Supernova by Dolphin
System Access from Serotek, and ZoomText Magnifier/Reader from AiSquared are prominent examples in the English-speaking market.
The opensource screen reader NVDA is gaining popularity.
Jaws Screen Readers
The JAWS Screen Reader is the world's most popular screen reader, developed for computer users whose vision loss prevents them from seeing screen content or navigating with a mouse. JAWS provides speech and Braille output for the most popular computer applications on your PC. Jaws Screen Readers are available to purchase in South Africa from organizations and companies such as Sensory Solutions, contact them to find out more or to receive a quote.
Zoom Text Fusion
By blending ZoomText and JAWS together, Fusion has flexible, high-quality speech using Eloquence and Vocalizer Expressive, powerful keyboard access including navigation on the web, and a wide range of customisation options.
A screen magnifier is software that interfaces with a computer's graphical output to present enlarged screen content. It is a type of assistive technology suitable for visually impaired people with some functional vision. Visually impaired people with little or no functional vision usually use a screen reader.
The simplest form of magnification presents an enlarged portion of the focus of the original screen content, so that it covers some or all of the full screen. This enlarged portion should include the content of interest to the user and the pointer or cursor, also suitably enlarged. As the user moves the pointer or cursor the screen magnifier should track with it and show the new enlarged portion. If this tracking is jerky or flickers it is likely to disturb the user. Also, the pointer or cursor may not be the content of interest: for example, if the user presses a keyboard shortcuts that opens a menu, the magnified portion should jump to that menu. Pop-up windows and changes in system status can also trigger this rapid shifting.
Screen magnifier can also be helpful for people suffering from low vision, such as the elderly, however, some elderly also suffer from additional disabilities such as tremors, which could prevent them using this as a tool.
Ranges of 1- to 16-times magnification are common. The greater the magnification the smaller the proportion of the original screen content that can be viewed, so users will tend to use the lowest magnification they can manage.
Screen magnifiers commonly provide several other features for people with particular sight difficulties:
Color Inversion. Many people with visual impairments prefer to invert the colors, typically turning text from black-on-white to white-on-black. This can reduce screen glare and is useful for elderly people suffering from age-related macular degeneration.
Smoothing Text can become blocky and harder to recognise when enlarged. Some screen magnifiers use interpolation to smooth the text to compensate.
Cursor customisation. The mouse and text cursors can often be modified in several ways, such as circling it to help the user locate it on the screen.
Different Magnification Modes Screen magnifiers can alter how they present the enlarged portion: covering the full screen, providing a lens that is moved around the un-magnified screen, or using a fixed magnified portion.
Crosshairs. Even with magnification, some users can find the mouse pointer hard to see. Crosshairs — especially when their size, color and opacity are customizable — can make the use of a pointing device easier.
Screen reader. Some magnifiers come packaged with a basic screen reader, allowing whatever the user is pointing at to be read out.
There are a variety of Screen magnifiers available, some can be bought, while some come with an operating system. Some of these operating systems need to be bought, while as others are free. (Linux) Below are some examples.
There Screen magnifiers bundled with an operating system
The Microsoft Windows operating system has included the "Magnifier" application since Windows 98 (released in 1998). It can integrate with a mouse-button toggle.
On OS X, the built-in screen magnification feature can be used at any time by holding the Control key and scrolling the mouse wheel to zoom in or zoom out.
Linux-based operating systems:
Compiz-Fusion window manager has a highly configurable plugin named "Enhanced Zoom Desktop"
GNOME has gnome-mag, which as of 2015 forms part of GNOME Shell
KDE has KMagnifier (KMag)
Haiku includes an application called Magnify

A cross-sectional survey to establish Theileria parva prevalence and vector control at the wildlife-livestock interface, Northern Tanzania
Allan, F. K. et al. (2021) A cross-sectional survey to establish Theileria parva prevalence and vector control at the wildlife-livestock interface, Northern Tanzania. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 196, 105491. (doi: 10.1016/j.prevetmed.2021.105491) (PMID:34562810)
East Coast fever (ECF) in cattle is caused by the protozoan parasite Theileria parva, transmitted by Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks. In cattle ECF is often fatal, causing annual losses >$500 million across its range. The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is the natural host for T. parva but the transmission dynamics between wild hosts and livestock are poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of T. parva in cattle, in a 30 km zone adjacent to the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania where livestock and buffalo co-exist, and to ascertain how livestock keepers controlled ECF and other vector-borne diseases of cattle. A randomised cross-sectional cattle survey and questionnaire of vector control practices were conducted. Blood samples were collected from 770 cattle from 48 herds and analysed by PCR to establish T. parva prevalence. Half body tick counts were recorded on every animal. Farmers were interviewed (n = 120; including the blood sampled herds) using a standardised questionnaire to obtain data on vector control practices. Local workshops were held to discuss findings and validate results. Overall prevalence of T. parva in cattle was 5.07% (CI: 3.70-7.00%), with significantly higher prevalence in older animals. Although all farmers reported seeing ticks on their cattle, tick counts were very low with 78% cattle having none. Questionnaire analysis indicated significant acaricide use with 79% and 41% of farmers reporting spraying or dipping with cypermethrin-based insecticides, respectively. Some farmers reported very frequent spraying, as often as every four days. However, doses per animal were often insufficient. These data indicate high levels of acaricide use, which may be responsible for the low observed tick burdens and low ECF prevalence. This vector control is farmer-led and aimed at both tick- and tsetse-borne diseases of livestock. The levels of acaricide use raise concerns regarding sustainability; resistance development is a risk, particularly in ticks. Integrating vaccination as part of this community-based disease control may alleviate acaricide dependence, but increased understanding of the Theileria strains circulating in wildlife-livestock interface areas is required to establish the potential benefits of vaccination.

Atmospheric temperature varies with height. This well known and well understood phenomenon is called lapse rate. It describes the altitudinal temperature gradient, essentially stating that temperature decreases by 4-9.8 degrees C per km elevation. The reason for discussing this here is, that the vertical temperature gradient is often incorrectly attributed to a radiative “greenhouse effect”, where in fact it is the natural thermodynamic consequence of a gas volume in a gravitational field. As it is an adiabatic effect, there is no change of the total energy content involved.
There are many ways to explain this phenomenon. Here I want to do it in the most elementary way.
The first important assumption is the local thermodynamic equilibrium. It means that in a certain volume of air there are no macroscopic state changes of e.g. temperature or pressure. Let us assume a volume of air that is large enough so that temperature can be defined, and that is small enough so that the temperature is constant in that volume, typically called “parcel of gas”.
This volume with mass is in the planetary gravitational field with gravitation constant . At height h it has the potential energy
and the thermal energy of this volume with heat capacity (at constant pressure) and temperature w.r.t. reference temperature is
The second assumption is that the system is adiabatic, i.e. there is no energy flowing into or out of the system. This means, that the sum of and is constant:
Therefore the total derivative of E must be 0:
From this the temperature gradient, i.e. lapse rate, follows directly:
What does this mean? Starting from the assumption of local conservation of energy, a molecule moving upwards loses motion energy in exchange for potential energy, must therefore get cooler by the corresponding energy amount, in other words raising a mass in the gravitational field must be paid from the motion energy, and a falling mass is accelerated, raising the temperature. Equilibrium is reached when the entropy of the system is maximal.
With and the adiabatic lapse rate for dry air is
If the air is humid, depending on pressure and temperature, water vapor condenses to liquid water, releasing the latent heat of 2260 J/g. This additional condensation energy reduces the lapse rate, because the “price” for potential energy can (partially) be paid from the condensation energy without decrease of temperature. The resulting moist adiabatic lapse rate is in the range -4…-9.8 K/km, depending on the humidity of the air. The global average lapse rate is -6.4 K/km.
For diving deeper into this and other details, here is an exhaustive discussion of atmospheric physics.
What has lapse rate to do with climate or greenhouse effect? In fact lapse rate explains much if not all global temperature difference between the surface of the earth and the top of troposphere withouth explicit assumptions about “forcing” or greenhouse gases (greenhouse gases are, however, relevant for the interaction with infrared radiation). The state described by lapse rate is an equilibrium state of the atmosphere without flow of energy:
Adiabatic lapse rate in the troposphere
If the atmosphere deviates from this state, thermodynamics strongly forces the system towards it, in the same way as a gas distributed inside a container tends towards the state of equal density.
Lapse rate (temperature gradient) is strongly correlated to a pressure gradient by the adiabatic barometric equations. Therefore sometimes the notion is used that “pressure causes temperature”. In the context of adiabatic conditions in a gravitational field this is not wrong, but the formulation is misleading, causing some people to wrongly believe that static pressure would cause heat generation. Therefore I prefer to refer to first principles such as energy conservation and entropy maximisation to describe the phenomenon.
The concept of lapse rate is very powerful in atmospheric science: In 1967 the surface temperature of Venus was determined correctly by evaluating the lapse rate – no explicit reference to greenhouse gases was required, although implicitely it is obvious, that the infrared radiation into space comes from the greenhouse gases from close to the top of the atmosphere, which are cooled according to lapse rate. This has recently been re-calculated with improved heat capacity parametrization.

A Return to The Glory Days . . .
- Behind the Scenes with D.C.F.H., Field Hockey
By Courtney Tobe
Belk Turf Field. There is no place like home!
The Davidson Field Hockey team met up with an old friend again this past week, grass.
A surface that most of us haven’t played on since our high school glory days came back into the picture this past Wednesday evening as we traveled to Radford, Virginia for our first conference game of the season. In order to prepare for this match-up we abandoned our extremely nice and extremely fast turf for two days of practice on the grassy knoll behind Baker. Although the change of scenery was nice, it only took a couple of hits and missed stops before we were begging to go back to the turf and wondering how on earth we ever played on such an awful surface.
Playing on grass is a completely different game. The skills and strategy that we practice on turf is often ineffective on grass because it is a much slower paced game that is much more unpredictable. You never know when a perfectly hit ball is going to hit a ditch and pop over your stick, or a ball that looks like it might be going out of bounds decides to stop right on the end line, or even worse, when you are dribbling the ball and it just decides to stop instead of staying on your stick like it’s supposed to.
Despite two extremely frustrating days of practice, our hard work paid off when we beat Radford 1-0 on their home field. The trip to Radford has normally been a struggle for us as we couldn’t get past the frustrating surface to carry home a win, but this year it was different. We hope to carry the excitement of our win into this weekend as we return to the turf (thank goodness!) to face Richmond and Georgetown. Both of these games will be great matchups as we look to extend our record to 8-2. Keep following along for more behind the scenes D.C.F.H. action. Go Cats! –Tobe #7.
Battle Wounds
A broken nose, a busted lip, a bruised chin, and scarring turf burn were just a few of the products of two intensely fought games this past weekend at William and Mary. It is part of the DCFH culture to take pride in our battle wounds. We don’t typically mind a decent bruise from a tough practice or a black eye from an intense game because it illustrates a dedication to our sport and a sense of fight. Junior defender Steph Meador is a prime example of someone who loves the fight. In our practice at William and Mary on Saturday, Steph took a ball to the face while defending a penalty corner. The result was a broken nose and two very swollen black eyes, but the pain didn’t stop Steph from playing in our game on Sunday. She played the whole game - start to finish - without even wearing a mask.
Sophomore midfielder Annie Evans also had her fair share of battle wounds this past weekend. In our game against William and Mary on Friday Annie got hit in the mouth with a ball and developed a very swollen lip, so swollen in fact that assistant coach Catherine Somits decided to give it a name because it appeared to be taking on a life of its own. “Toni,” as her lip came to be called, lasted for a few days and has now developed into a nice bruise.
Our accumulation of battle wounds was not the only adventure we had in William and Mary. On Saturday, we had plenty of time to explore colonial Williamsburg. Several DCFH members toured the colonial shops, chatted with colonists, and took their pictures in the stacks. We also had a nice lunch at The Cheese Shop, one of Ginny’s favorite restaurants at her alma mater.
Even though this past weekend brought us our first loss it was still very successful. We learned a lot from our game against William and Mary and we finished out the weekend with a win against Penn. We hope to take what we’ve learned from this past weekend and apply them in our game against #7 Wake Forest on Friday. The game is home at 6 p.m. We have an extremely good chance against them this year so please come out and show your support! Keep following along for more behind the scenes D.C.F.H. moments! Go Cats! – Tobe #7
Commitment, Opportunity, Heart
The tears in senior Clare Perry’s eyes said enough after we defeated Lafayette 3 to 0 this past Sunday. Two weekends into our season and still undefeated, something that Clare and I and the rest of this year’s senior class has never experienced before. In our four years of Davidson hockey we have been through some difficult seasons. Seasons full of tough losses and great successes, but we have never experienced anything like this, 4-0. If I’ve learned one thing from DCFH, it’s that winning isn’t everything, but our recent success has brought a new sense of confidence to our team that didn’t exist before. We finally believe in ourselves and are realizing what we are capable of, and we won’t let anything stop us from reaching our potential.
This past summer, Ginny and Catherine came up with three core values for our program to focus on: Commitment, Opportunity, and Heart. The goal being that these three words will embody the spirit of D.C.F.H. and reflect the attitude of our program. Wednesday evening, Sandy Helfgott, Davidson’s Director of Physical Education and Recreation, came to talk to us about the importance of maintaining these three core values and living them out throughout the course of our season. Sandy’s speech was extremely motivational and a good thing to hear leading up to our weekend at William and Mary. We are in a good place right now, especially after receiving 4 votes for the top 20, but we need to make sure that we don’t let up and this weekend will be a good test for us.
Keep following along for more behind the scenes D.C.F.H. moments! Go Cats! – Tobe #7
D.C.F.H. Season Underway
As I took to the field for our first game of our 2010 season this past weekend I could not help thinking about preseason. The 9 days of intensive conditioning, three a day practices (yes that’s right … 3 a days), sweltering temperatures on the turf, cold whirl pools, and a soreness that can’t fully be comprehended unless you have experienced it. Everyday tasks like getting out of bed, getting dressed, and even sleeping all felt impossible, and yet even while our bodies were in such intense pain, we somehow found a way to make it back out to the field for the next session. Our fans didn’t see the hard work that we put in during camp and neither did our opponents, but together we worked, struggled, and survived all to make it to this moment, when the referee blows the whistle and our season begins.
My name is Courtney Tobe, and I am a senior from Louisville, Kentucky, on Davidson College’s field hockey team. I have officially survived four D.C.F.H. preseason’s (something I never thought I would be able to say), and I have never felt as proud of the work that we put in during preseason as I do right now because we had an amazing opening weekend.
The weekend started out with a seven and a half hour long bus ride to our nation’s capital. Seven and a half hours is a long time to be on a bus, but we managed to pass the time pretty easily with an impromptu J.Lo movie marathon, good conversation, and a lot of snacks. Although there were moments when the bus ride felt like it would never end, the trip was definitely worth it. We brought home two wins, a 5-0 win against Bryant on Friday and a 5-0 win against St. Francis on Saturday, and we had an amazing crowd turn out for the games.
One of the great things about D.C.F.H. is the amount of support we get from our fans. We had several parents make the trip to D.C. and two D.C.F.H. ’09 alums, Sara Stevens, and Tyler Kirkland came out to show their support. To top things off, Darrel Young, a RB/LB for the Washington Redskins made an appearance at American University to watch our games and cheer for the Davidson Wildcats (all of the Davidson Dad’s were extremely excited about this one). The weekend was a great way to kick off our season and has really inspired us to work hard this week in practice.
We have a lot of potential as a team and a lot of goals that we have set for ourselves this season. The next step we have to take toward reaching them comes this weekend with two games. We open up at home on Saturday against Towson at 12 p.m., and play Lafayette at Wake Forest on Sunday. These are two really good match-ups for us and we can’t wait to hopefully add two more W’s to our record.
Throughout our season, I’ll be checking back in with game updates, funny stories, player interviews, and much more. Keep following along for more behind the scenes D.C.F.H. moments and please come out and show your support on Saturday! Go Cats! – Tobe #7

Indonesia set to expand use of bioenergy
by Rob Finlayson · February 17, 2016
The need for clearer policies, more trees and other plants for biomass and fuel, and use of organic waste from agriculture were some of the topics discussed at an international clean-energy forum for Indonesia that quickened the agenda towards a sustainable energy economy that will boost rural development.

The Bali Clean Energy Forum, held at the Nusa Dua Convention Center, 11—12 February 2016, brought together representatives of 26 countries; the private sector; experts in the field of energy; civil society; and young people. It was organized by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in cooperation with the International Energy Agency.
The Center of Excellence for Clean Energy was launched at the forum. It is an integrated centre for research, development of research results, education, capacity-building implementation and facilitation of investment in clean-energy development with three main needs: information, technology and financing. The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Sudirman Said stated that it will become ‘a connecting channel for national preparedness in realizing an energy system based on clean and sustainable energy sources because it supports efforts to accelerate the development of renewable energy up to 23% in the composition of the national energy mix by 2025. For a period of four years, the centre will focus on supporting efforts to develop the 35 MW electrification programs, of which 25% or about 8.8 GW will come from renewable energy’.

The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) hosted a session on bioenergy at the forum, moderated by ICRAF’s Southeast Asia regional coordinator, Dr Ingrid Öborn, and chaired by Mr Budi Basuki, chief operating officer of Medco Energy International, that featured six speakers who addressed critical aspects of decreasing Indonesia’s reliance on fossil fuels and creating a ‘green’ economy through bioenergy. Bioenergy can be obtained from biomass, biofuel and by using organic wastes for biogas.
The session began with a presentation from Senator Parlindungan Purba from North Sumatra Province, chairman of Committee II of the Regional Representative Council (Dewan Perwakilan Daerah/DPD), which is charged with liaison between numerous ministries, including Energy and Mineral Resources. Senator Purba gave four reasons why renewable energy was being discussed globally not just in Indonesia.

‘First, to ensure continued global economic growth with the advent of peak oil, a reliable energy supply will be necessary to support sustained economic growth’, he said. ‘Second, continued population growth meant an unprecedented demand for energy. Third, political instability in oil-producing regions fed a search for alternatives. Finally, the threat posed by climate change is fuelling the search to achieve sustainable growth’.
Driven by specific new laws, regulations and presidential instructions since 2006, Indonesia has been moving to make better use of its vast natural resources for bioenergy production and to increase its economic growth, based on World Bank predictions that if the least-developed regions in the country could achieve growth of more than 20% a year, Indonesia’s national growth could reach 8%. To this end, argued Senator Purba, electricity supply had to be prioritized in those regions. Given that 12,000 villages do not receive electricity from the state-owned company, Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), local governments in remote but natural-resource-rich areas should commit to improve electrification through bioenergy. However, financial services would be needed, which would include speeding the permit process for renewable energy investment and creating incentives for local technology manufacturers and R&D institutions. He also argued that other measures would be needed, such as revision of the law on renewable energy, formation of an independent agency to monitor and evaluate progress and, essentially, identification of available land that is not needed for food supply.

Dr Bambang Supriyanto, head of Research and Development at the Social, Economic, Policy and Climate Change Center of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, reinforced Senator Purba’s remarks, noting that ‘Indonesia’s future energy consumption is predicted to reach an alarming rate so that by 2030 the nation will need to import 1.3 million barrels of oil per day. By 2050, Indonesia would have used all its reserves of coal and natural gas’.
As part of addressing this, Indonesia’s national energy policy mandated that the 20% share of biodiesel in 2016 had to rise to 30% by 2020 and bioethanol to 20%. This meant that forests and plantations should produce 9.2 million kilolitre of biodiesel from biomass from various sources, including oil palm and trees, such as ‘nyamplung’ (Callophyllum inophillum), which is being more intensively researched by the Center. If proven successful, the 500,000 ha already covered by the tree would be able to meet just under 29% of national demand for biodiesel. The remainder could be made up by palm oil if 20% of current amount was diverted to biodiesel production. To produce electricity from biomass, Dr Supriyanto argued that 1.5 million ha of plantation forests would be needed to fill the gap between supply and demand. Around 800,000 ha of state forest under the jurisdiction of forest management units are proposed to be designated as ‘energy forest’ with 70,000 ha of land that falls under the community forest, village forest and community plantation forest categories to be allocated for biomass production. The trees the Center is promoting for this purpose include ‘akor’ (Acacia auriculiformis), ‘kaliandra’ (Caliandra calothirsus), ‘weru’ (Albizia procera) and ‘turi’ (Sesbania grandifora).

Dr Rudolf Rauch, director of the Renewable Energy Program with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) Indonesia, has worked for 10 years in Asia and found that often energy policy was not integrated with agro-industrial development. He saw that waste from agricultural production held huge potential for meeting a number of energy needs quickly and at relatively low cost. In Thailand, agroindustry consumes most electricity, 60% of which is produced from biomass.
‘There are a lot of gains to be had, especially in tropical countries with year-round biomass’, he said. ‘There is a huge surplus of biomass waste in the palm-oil industry, for example. We can also think of using agricultural waste not just purely for electricity. With oil palm in Thailand, producers use the waste to increase profit through biogas plants used in the palm-oil processing system. These systems not only reduce the operating costs of the processing plant but sell electricity to nearby communities, which are often far from the grid’.
Integrated development strategies that incorporated such systems would provide the greatest benefits: to agriculture through improved livelihoods; to industry through job creation, increased productivity and international competitiveness; to the nation through renewable energy security and rural electrification; and to the environment through mitigation of greenhouse gases through converting waste to energy, which is one of the most cost-efficient measures.

Dr Sonya Dewi, ICRAF’s Indonesia country coordinator, discussed three aspects of bioenergy from a ‘landscape’ perspective, which can be read in greater detail via these links: Bioenergy crops need to be chosen carefully; Bioenergy can bring clean power to remote areas of Indonesia; and Making the most of mangroves. She reminded the audience that local contexts and drivers of land-use change matter if any of the plans discussed in the session were to come to fruition without undue delay or conflict. Particular attention had to be paid to the needs of smallholders already living in, or reliant on, the landscapes earmarked for intensification or use as feedstock-production areas for bioenergy plants. Such plans had to be integrated into district and provincial land-use planning with robust and effective monitoring and evaluation, taking into account broader societal needs for ecosystem services. For this, a ‘bottom–up’ methodology was necessary to promote inclusive, integrated and informed processes, such as the Land-use Planning for Multiple Environmental Services (LUMENS) system that had been developed by Dr Dewi and team in Indonesia. It is being successfully tested in diverse biophysical and socio-economic districts from Papua to Sumatra and has been mandated for use in the national greenhouse-gas reduction plan by the National Development Planning Agency. Synergies between local and national policies on bioenergy are also necessary to ensure sustainable value chains by accommodating local circumstances and aligning them with national targets. Lastly, she underlined the importance of designing feasibility studies pertaining to replications and expansion, beyond pilot areas.

Mr Andianto Hidayat, technology and product development manager of the state-owned oil and energy company, Pertamina, noted that the deficit in Indonesia’s trade balance was largely due to oil and gas, with the nation set to become the world’s biggest fuel importer by 2018. Hence, there was increasing investment in the search for viable alternatives. Pertamina is focusing on improving biodiesel production, particularly, from palm oil but also deepening research and trials into biogas, municipal solid waste and electricity generation.

Ir Kees Kwant, chair of the International Energy Agency’s bioenergy section and senior expert bioenergy and bio-based economy, Netherlands Enterprise Agency, shared the IEA’s vision for the growth of a ‘bio-based economy’. The Netherlands, for example, had mandated an increase in the share of biofuel in the economy from the current 5.3 to 14% within the next four years and the European Union as a whole expected a 20% average of renewable energy throughout the EU, also by 2020. He cautioned that moving towards such a sustainable economy required additional effort in terms of time, cost, learning and creating acceptance but that sustainability was crucial and provided opportunities for long-term business. As well as providing examples of successfully operating systems in Europe, he urged the audience to make use of the IEA’s Bioenergy How2Guide when planning their own. He concluded by reiterating that biomass was an important part of a renewable energy portfolio; that sustainable biomass is possible; that improved use of biomass is needed; and that bioenergy can be integrated into existing or new industrial operations, such as through bio-refineries. Finally, Ir Kwant invited Indonesia to join the IEA’s bioenergy technology collaboration program to share challenges and solutions with the other 23 nations involved, including the European Union.
A strong message that emerged from the session was that there was an urgent need for cross-sectoral collaboration between all involved if the government’s targets for renewable energy supply were to be met and turn Indonesia into a bio-based economy in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Book About Garbage Was Placed on Government Procurement List for Libraries 2019
Book About Garbage by Halyna Tkachuk and eight school students from Kyiv was placed on government procurement list of 557 books for libraries of Ukraine in 2019. The book was published by The Old Lion Publishing House with the help of the charity project LuckyBooks.
Anna Tretyak, Editor in Chief of Ukrainian children’s book platform BaraBooka, a member of the Expert Council of the Ukrainian Book Institute 2019, comments the list:
The final list [of books], of course, is far from ideal. It shows that there is room for improvement. In particular, there is obvious lack of experts in the field of children's and young adult (YA) literature. Not all the books on the list are good enough, while some really good books didn’t get one or two votes to be enlisted. It is also saddening that children's and YA books add up to less than half of the total number of books. Readers of 5, 10 and 15 years old have very different reading needs, and as a result, not all of them will be able to find a book they might like. However, I would like to thank the Ukrainian Book Institute team for replenishing library funds, taking into account the wishes of experts and promising to improve the list forming process. Because of collaboration of the Ukrainian Book Institute and the experts, Ukrainian libraries can get a lot of interesting books, mostly educational literature for booklovers of any age. Among the books, there are biographies of famous people published by the IPIO publishing house; a series of books on mathematics, physics, and architecture published by MoYa Knyzhkova Polytsia, Frying Pan from A to Z, Botanicum and Historium published by the The Old Lion Publishing House, and, of course, a wonderful and much-needed "Garbage Book" written by Halyna Tkachuk together with the kids together published with help of the LuckyBooks.
In total, there will be almost 678 thousand books worth 87 million hryvnias to replenish public library funds in Ukraine. 43% of the books are written by contemporary Ukrainian authors. The first five books in the list are written by Ukrainian authors, and three of them are children’s book. TV presenter Oleksii Ananov spent “a week behind the computer with short breaks for the main work” and looked through the initial list of 2779 books. He said:
My subjective selection criteria are to choose books that somehow change us. They either teach people something, educate them, make a community and society somehow better, more dynamic, or they stimulate people to visit a library despite the widespread use of the Internet. First of all, I chose children's literature, educational books, encyclopedias, and books on economics and psychology. Another big part of the books is contemporary Ukrainian fiction and some of the foreign modern and classic novels in Ukrainian translations. So, we have enough of fiction literature by Ukrainian authors, for both kids and adults. The next step is to sort books by quality. The children's and YA literature is brilliant! But the educational literature is mostly translated from other languages. The publishers prioritize “world bestsellers” over local editions. Sometimes, I see real gems among books on art history or psychology. These are the books we would like readers to know about. The final thoughts are mostly about marketing: just like bookstores, libraries tried their best “to sell” their books to a reader, and that means that they put the well-known names, famous writers and bestseller novels on the foreground.
The Expert Board of the Ukrainian Book Institute consists of scholars, literary critics, culture project coordinators, heads of libraries, educators and journalists - in total, 50 experts. Some members of the Expert Board are participating in the forming the list of books for the second time. A journalist at ICTV and the host of Svoboda Slova (Freedom of Speech) Vadym Karpiak comments the difference between the 2018 and 2019 lists:
This year, everything passed very quietly, with no significant changes. Except that we had a little bit more time to make the choice than the previous time. In 2018, the libraries complained that there were not enough children's literature, so we did our best to include it to the list this time. I also noticed that this time, there was more non-fiction literature among the books we were offered to choose from. High-quality, interesting non-fiction that I would love to read. And that's cool. In general, the number of new books makes me happy. Five years ago, I knew almost all the books published in the Ukrainian market. And now, I find new interesting books that I haven’t seen before. I am happy about it. As for me, I think it is important to put aside your snobbery as an expert reader while choosing the books. I try my best to ignore my own taste and look at the books as an expert and take into account the audience request. Therefore, I add to the list the books that might not read myself but that might be in demand. The Expert Board doesn’t have to educate readers or nurture their tastes, it must satisfy readers’ desires and needs.
To improve the system, Vadym Karpiak offers to purchase books more often. Now, book selection and delivery happen once a year. But the expert believes that this process could be done at least twice a year, ideally every quarter. It would also impact the popularity of libraries among readers and would help increase the number of clients in libraries. For a reader, it is more interesting to see newly published books every season than to wait for them for a year.
Book About Garbage is the sixth published book by the LuckyBooks project. It was written after the project gave a series of workshops on ecology. The authors of the book became the children that took part in those workshops. They are Oleksandra Homa, Andrii Dobrovolskyi, Serhii Koliadych, Hanna Berezovska, Hanna Tereshchuk, Mykyta Subotovskyi, Anastasiia Sakhno, and Karina Parkhomenko. The illustrations were created by Anton Selleshii. The book was released at Book Arsenal-2019 in Kyiv, and later, in five other cities in Ukraine. Last month, LuckyBooks gave the book as a present to 155 libraries in seven Eastern and Southern regions of the country.
Last year, three books on the LuckyBooks project were enlisted to the public procurement list for libraries: Kuzko Kuziakin “#WHATISMATH?”, Luca Novelli “Tesla and the car on Cosmic Energy,” and Andrii Tuzhykov “The Brief History of Technology.”

The owner of Aiken Promotions - peter Aiken, said this morning on Irish radio, that the Kilkenny gig is only one of two gigs they will play together.(+Hyde Park).
I could be incorrect in reading into this, that Neil is doing a total of two gigs in Europe,
but surely this cannot be right.
I had hoped that Neil would be doing some POTR gigs around Europe, I looked at Dylan's tour schedule and he has other gigs lined up, including festivals.
C'omon Neil, we need more gigs !

Neil has confirmed a European tour next summer (though no other details yet), these are just the only shows where he's on the same bill as Dylan (assuming that promoter knows what he's talking about).

Just noticed this in J. Hanlon's notebook. Presumably it's the infamous Time Fades Away II album. Sugar Mountain doesn't even have a complete setlist for the Tuscaloosa show.
"Next up is Tuscaloosa, (under the radar monster) a previously and only partially mined album project from early in the 1973 Time Fades Away tour of the US by Neil & The Stray Gators. . . . .It’s a “good un” as John Lee Hooker would say. “Pots on, gas on high” as he also wrote in one of his songs. ‘Tuscaloosa’ was a particularly potent lineup of great musicians at the zenith of their brotherhood. Ben Keith, Jack Nitzche, Tim Drummond, Kenny Buttrey and Neil.
More to report here soon, as we undertake mixing from the original master 2” analog 16 track tapes and review in Colorado during the next several weeks."

I would like to point out that I really enjoyed the concert by Neil Young and Bob Dylan, I really thought the organization left a lot to be desired. For the number of people that were there, there were only two toilets in Nowlan Park and as a result, there were constant Qs at each one for the duration of the concert. There should have brought in portaloos.
When the concert was over at about 10pm thousands of very hungry people streamed out onto the street to find that every place was closed. The pubs had extended hours for the concert but not one of them was serving food. Not even Hotels. The few fast foods take away's had Qs of 100 people at each one of them and as a result, they ran out of food. For that reason I would never go to a big concert in Kilkenny again they are not able to deal with it. The whole Town should have got involved in it and pulled together. the concert-goers were definitely let down. I would like to see Kilkenny holding a flea coel. They would could take a leaf out of some of the smaller towns Book like Cavan or Drogheda. Bob stick with the acoustic guitar piano doesn't suit you.

Title: Safety and nutritional assessment of GM plants and derived food and feed : the role of animal feeding trials .
Journal: Food Chem Toxicol Year: 2008 Type: MEDLINE
[ Sen. 2, subscore: 2.00 ]: The general principles for the risk assessment of GM plants and derived food and feed are followed , as described in the EFSA guidance document of the EFSA Scientific Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms .
[ Sen. 34, subscore: 2.00 ]: With respect to the detection of potential unintended effects in whole GM food and feed , it is unlikely that substances present in small amounts and with a low toxic potential will result in any observable ( unintended ) effects in a 90-day rodent feeding study , as they would be below the no-observed-effect-level and thus of unlikely impact to human health at normal intake levels .
[ Sen. 35, subscore: 2.00 ]: Laboratory animal feeding studies of 90-days duration appear to be sufficient to pick up adverse effects of diverse compounds that would also give adverse effects after chronic exposure .
[ Sen. 37, subscore: 2.00 ]: The 90-day rodent feeding study is not designed to detect effects on reproduction or development other than effects on adult reproductive organ weights and histopathology .
[ Sen. 8, subscore: 1.00 ]: The safety assessment is focussed on ( i ) the presence and characteristics of newly expressed proteins and other new constituents and possible changes in the level of natural constituents beyond normal variation , and on the characteristics of the GM food and feed , and ( ii ) the possible occurrence of unintended ( unexpected ) effects in GM plants due to genetic modification .
[ Sen. 9, subscore: 1.00 ]: In order to identify these effects a comparative phenotypic and molecular analysis of the GM plant and its near isogenic counterpart is carried out , in parallel with a targeted analysis of single specific compounds , which represent important metabolic pathways in the plant like macro and micro nutrients , known anti-nutrients and toxins .
[ Sen. 10, subscore: 1.00 ]: Significant differences may be indicative of the occurrence of unintended effects , which require further investigation .
[ Sen. 16, subscore: 1.00 ]: The majority of these experiments did not indicate clinical effects or histopathological abnormalities in organs or it issues of exposed animals .
[ Sen. 17, subscore: 1.00 ]: In some cases adverse effects were noted , which were difficult to interpret due to shortcomings in the studies .
[ Sen. 28, subscore: 1.00 ]: The aim of the 90-days rodent feeding study with the whole GM food and feed is to assess potential unintended effects of toxicological and/or nutritional relevance and to establish whether the GM food and feed is as safe and nutritious as its traditional comparator rather than determining qualitative and quantitative intrinsic toxicity of defined food constituents .
[ Sen. 31, subscore: 1.00 ]: A 90-day animal feeding trial has a large capacity ( sensitivity and specificity ) to detect potential toxicological effects of single well defined compounds .
[ Sen. 36, subscore: 1.00 ]: This conclusion is based on literature data from studies investigating whether toxicological effects are adequately identified in 3-month subchronic studies in rodents , by comparing findings at 3 and 24 months for a range of different chemicals .
[ Sen. 38, subscore: 1.00 ]: Analyses of available data indicate that , for a wide range of substances , reproductive and developmental effects are not potentially more sensitive endpoints than those examined in subchronic toxicity tests .
[ Sen. 39, subscore: 1.00 ]: Should there be structural alerts for reproductive/developmental effects or other indications from data available on a GM food and feed , then these tests should be considered .
[ Sen. 41, subscore: 1.00 ]: Results obtained from testing GM food and feed in rodents indicate that large ( at least 100-fold ) safety margins exist between animal exposure levels without observed adverse effects and estimated human daily intake .
Title: Dynamic analysis of QTLs on tiller number in rice ( Oryza sativa L ) with single segment substitution lines .
Author: Liu G Zhu H Zhang G Li L Ye G
Journal: Theor Appl Genet Year: 2012 Type: In-Process
[ Sen. 10, subscore: 5.00 ]: Most of the QTLs show significant interactions with planting seasons and cropping densities , but the additive effects of QTLs Tn3-1 and Tn3-2 , the dominant effects of QTL Tn7 and Tn8 , and the epistatic effects of 14 pairs of QTLs are stable across seasons and the dominant effect of QTL Tn3-3 and the epistatic effects of QTL pairs Tn2-1/Tn6-2 , Tn2-1/Tn9 and Tn3-3/Tn6-3 are nearly consistent across cropping densities .
[ Sen. 6, subscore: 4.00 ]: Eight QTLs are detected with significant additive effects and/or additive x season and/or additive x density interaction effects at least at one developmental stage , and all QTLs have significant dominant and epistatic effects and/or interaction effects involved in .
[ Sen. 4, subscore: 3.00 ]: QTL effects including main effects ( additive , dominance and epistasis ) , QTL x season and QTL x density interaction effects were analyzed at each measured stage .
[ Sen. 5, subscore: 2.00 ]: The additive , dominant and epistatic effects of the 12 QTLs as well as their interaction effects with the seasons and with the densities all display dynamic changes with the development .
[ Sen. 7, subscore: 2.00 ]: For most of the QTLs dominant effects are much bigger than additive effects , showing overdominance .
[ Sen. 9, subscore: 2.00 ]: Additive and dominant effects of these QTLs are mostly positive while epistatic effects are negative and minor .
Title: Detection and characterization of glutathione S-transferase activity in rice EF-1betabetagamma and EF-1gamma expressed in Escherichia coli .
Author: Kobayashi S Kidou S Ejiri S
Journal: Biochem . Biophys . Res . Commun . Year: 2001 Type: ARTICLE
[ Sen. 4, subscore: 3.00 ]: EF-1beta and EF-1beta catalyze the GDP/GTP exchange on EF-1alpha .
[ Sen. 1, subscore: 2.00 ]: Plant elongation factor EF-1 consists of four subunits ( EF-1alphabetabetagamma ) .
[ Sen. 7, subscore: 2.00 ]: This report demonstrates that rice EF-1betabetagamma and recombinant EF-1gamma possess glutathione S-transferase ( GST ) activity .
[ Sen. 8, subscore: 2.00 ]: The EF-1betabetagamma or EF-1gamma-dependent GST activity is about one-fiftieth of the rice GST activity .
[ Sen. 9, subscore: 2.00 ]: The Km values of EF-1betabetagamma , EF-1gamma , and rice GST for glutathione and 1-chloro-2 , 4-dinitrobenzene are of about the same order .
[ Sen. 10, subscore: 2.00 ]: Although recombinant EF-1gamma is heat labile , active EF-1gamma was obtained by purifying it in the presence of 20% glycerol .
[ Sen. 2, subscore: 1.00 ]: EF-1alpha .
[ Sen. 6, subscore: 1.00 ]: However , the function of EF-1gamma , a subunit detected in eukaryotes , but not in prokaryotes remained unknown .

Author: Watson JG Chow JC Chen LW Lowenthal DH Fujita EM Kuhns HD Sodeman DA Campbell DE Moosmuller H Zhu D Motallebi N
Journal: Sci Total Environ Year: 2011 Type: MEDLINE
[ Sen. 6, subscore: 2.00 ]: EMFAC2007 reported higher PM ( 2 . 5 ) EFs than MOBILE 6 . 2 during winter , but not during summer , and neither model captured the variability of the measured EFs .
[ Sen. 9, subscore: 2.00 ]: EFs for biomass burning measured during the Fire Laboratory at Missoula Experiment ( FLAME ) were compared with EFs from the ARB Emission Estimation System ( EES ) model .
[ Sen. 12, subscore: 2.00 ]: The EES model agreed with measured EFs for fuels with low moisture content but underestimated measured EFs for fuel with moisture content >40% .
[ Sen. 1, subscore: 1.00 ]: PM emission factors ( EFs ) for gasoline and diesel-fueled vehicles and biomass combustion were measured in several recent studies .
[ Sen. 2, subscore: 1.00 ]: In the Gas/Diesel Split Study ( GD-Split ) , PM ( 2 . 5 ) EFs for heavy-duty diesel vehicles ( HDDV ) ranged from 0 . 2 to 2 g/mile and increased with vehicle age .
[ Sen. 3, subscore: 1.00 ]: EFs for HDDV estimated with the US EPA MOBILE 6 . 2 and California Air Resources Board ( ARB ) EMFAC2007 models correlated well with measured values .
[ Sen. 4, subscore: 1.00 ]: PM ( 2 . 5 ) EFs measured for gasoline vehicles were two orders of magnitude lower than those for HDDV and did not correlate with model estimates .
[ Sen. 5, subscore: 1.00 ]: In the Kansas City Study , PM ( 2 . 5 ) EFs for gasoline-powered vehicles ( eg , passenger cars and light trucks ) were generally <0 . 03 g/mile and were higher in winter than summer .
[ Sen. 7, subscore: 1.00 ]: Total PM EFs for heavy-duty diesel military vehicles ranged from 0 . 18+/-0 . 03 and 1 . 20+/-0 . 12 g/kg fuel , corresponding to 0 . 3 and 2 g/mile , respectively .
[ Sen. 10, subscore: 1.00 ]: The highest PM ( 2 . 5 ) EFs ( 76 . 8+/-37 . 5 g/kg ) were measured for wet ( >50% moisture content ) Ponderosa Pine needles .
[ Sen. 11, subscore: 1.00 ]: EFs were generally <20 g/kg when moisture content was <20% .
[ Sen. 13, subscore: 1.00 ]: Average EFs for dry chamise , rice straw , and dry grass were within a factor of three of values adopted by ARB in Californias San Joaquin Valley ( SJV ) .

Author: Zhang MW Du YQ Peng ZM He CX .
Journal: Yi Chuan Xue Bao Year: Type: ARTICLE
[ Sen. 3, subscore: 5.00 ]: The seed direct genetic effects were more important than the maternal genetic effects for Fe , Zn , Mn contents , and seed direct additive effects constituted a major part of their genetic effects , whereas seed direct additive , maternal additive and dominant effects formed the main part in the inheritance of P content .
[ Sen. 2, subscore: 3.00 ]: The results indicated that the contents of all the four mineral elements were controlled by seed direct genetic effects , maternal genetic effects as well as by cytoplasmic effects .
[ Sen. 1, subscore: 2.00 ]: Complete diallel crosses with seven varieties of black pericarp rice were conducted in one year to analyze the genetic effects on main mineral elements of Fe , Zn , Mn and P contents in kernels of parents and their F1S and F2S , using the full genetic model including triploid endosperm , cytoplasmic and maternal effects on quantitative traits of seeds in cereal crops .
[ Sen. 5, subscore: 2.00 ]: The estimate values of narrow heritabilites of seed direct genetic effects were high for Fe , Zn and Mn contents , while those of seed and maternal effects were intermediate for P content .
[ Sen. 4, subscore: 1.00 ]: The heritabilities of seed direct effects of the 4 mineral element contents were all highly significant .

The San Diego UBT fair: Sharing successful practices
LMPtalk is the place to come online to engage in dialogue about Kaiser Permanente’s
Labor Management Partnership.
by Dan Ryan and Paul Staley
Receptionist Andrew Aranda tells Medical Group Administrator Jim Malone about the
concierge program at the Clairemont Mesa MOB.
Some of the brightest stars in the UBT constellation are at the San Diego Medical Center
and its many satellite facilities. At a recent San Diego UBT fair, co-leads from departments
throughout the medical center proudly displayed storyboards explaining their teams’ goals
and their most up-to-date results on performance improvement. UBT fairs have truly
become a best practice for sharing of ideas and allowing the people who do the work to
explore with their fellow workers what’s working and what’s not. More than 535 employees
stopped by and chatted with team leaders in San Diego and hopefully, picked up a few
new ideas that could be incorporated into their teams.
The majority of co-leads represented Level 4 or 5 teams, although there were a couple of
Level 3 teams that snuck in due to their outstanding performance. At a recognition
ceremony, each set of co-leads was greeted with certificates as well as a gift for the team
from Mary Ann Barnes, senior vice president and executive director of the San Diego
Service Area, Jim Malone, medical group administrator, Dr. Paul Bernstein, area medical
director, Walter Allen, executive director and CFO of OPEIU, Local 30, and Barb Grimm,
senior vice president of the OLMP.
It wasn’t always this way
A few years ago things were quite different in San Diego. Very few teams were in place
and among those, very few were hitting anything close to what could be labeled as
“performance improvement.” Thanks to a fantastic resource team, things have changed
dramatically. Jenny Button, Amy Steiner, Katie Doyle and Sylvia Wallace and their hands-
on sponsors, Marianne Giordano and Ray Hahn have all contributed to transforming the
medical center into a forum for continuous learning through unit based teams. This is a
key ingredient in the success of the service area, which is the third largest in Kaiser
Permanente with a membership of more than 500,000. Currently there are more than
6,300 employees and 830 physicians in the area, which stretches from the border with
Mexico north to La Mesa and hundreds of miles to the east. Throughout this huge
territory, the resource team has managed to engage the staff in the important work of
improving the quality of life for every Kaiser member.
San Diego is the latest in a growing number of areas hosting UBT fairs. Hawaii held one
last month and Orange County plans to hold its second UBT fair in November. Its first fair
was held late last year. We’ve said this before but it bears repeating: The pride the co-
leads show in exhibiting the work of these high performing teams in these fairs is
immediately apparent. The excitement and energy generated is amazing and a real
pleasure to observe We encourage every facility or service area to continue to hold UBT
fairs and proudly display the great work going on daily at Kaiser Permanente. And don’t
forget to invite us so we can experience the great work you do every day!

Struggle: It’s not a dirty word
by John August
Call centers are a hard place to work
Over the past couple of months, I have visited with frontline teams in Colorado, Virginia,
Maryland, Washington, D.C., Honolulu, Los Angeles and Oakland. Without exception, I
observed a broad cross-section of our unionized workers and their partners struggling for
positive outcomes.
“Struggle” describes what is involved in unit-by-unit improvement work. Struggle can be
positive. It’s necessary for people to transform, and not just make a few cosmetic or
ephemeral changes.
Call centers: One of the toughest workplaces
One example that comes to mind is a discussion I observed among UBT co-leads in a
large call center. The team leaders focused on a more than yearlong battle to improve
attendance. Call centers are tough places to work day in and day out. The calls never
stop. The work is sedentary. As one worker told me, “When you are at work all day on the
phones talking with and advising Kaiser Permanente members, you have very little, if any,
interaction with your co-workers.”
This team didn’t give up. They recognized they needed to create more camaraderie in the
call center. They implemented several tests of change:
The team has figured out how to meet regularly, despite the challenging logistics.
When leaders suggest changes in call center operations, the representational team
surveys members of the unit before making them.
They created a set of message boards in break rooms. On these bulletin boards,
employees were encouraged to post news about family, friends and community. The
boards are wildly successful and seem to be bringing people together.
This team was feeling lots of pressure to improve. The managers were feeling the heat,
yet they did not collapse under the pressure. Rather, they stuck to the principles they had
been taught about how to bring about frontline improvement.
There is no easy way out
Struggle is positive and necessary. It takes a toll but is also exhilarating. Employees and
managers at the front line feel pressure to make their teams high performing. This is
understandable, since the 2010 National Agreement sets forth aggressive goals around
expanding the number of high-performing teams. But frontline teams cannot do it alone.
They need the support of the whole organization.
Our colleagues from Rutgers University, in conjunction with Johns Hopkins University and
Kaiser Permanente’s Division of Organizational Research, have identified five essential
systems of support and encouragement for frontline teams:
Team cohesion
Processes and methods
Infrastructure and support

STOLEN PICTURE OPTIONS TELEVISION RIGHTS TO BEN AARONOVITCH’S
RIVERS OF LONDON
London, UK: 29April 2019: Nick Frost and Simon Pegg’s UK-based production company, Stolen Picture, has optioned the rights to Ben Aaronovitch’s best-selling novel series Rivers of London.
Aaronovitch is currently working on the adaption of the first novel, also named Rivers of London. He will also serve as an Executive Producer on the series alongside Nick Frost, Simon Pegg and Stolen Picture CEO, Miles Ketley.
A Sunday Times best-seller, Rivers of London was first published in 2011, earning Aaronovitch a nomination in the New Writer of The Year category at the National Book Awards in 2011 and has spawned a popular graphic novel series. Each subsequent novel has also charted in the Sunday Times Top Ten Best-Seller list.
The crime/supernatural crossover follows the adventures of Peter Grant, a young mixed race police officer who, following an encounter with a ghost finds himself working for The Folly, a secret Scotland Yard department that deals with supernatural crime. The Times described Rivers of London as “an incredibly fast-moving magical joyride for grown-ups”.The Rivers of London franchise has been published in more than 15 languages and, to date, has sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide.
“Nick Frost and Simon Pegg asked me if I wanted to make Rivers of London with them - you think I was going to say no? Stolen Picture have a reputation for making creator led TV with the minimum of corporate bollocks and the maximum of fun. It's an opportunity I would be bonkers to say no to” says Ben Aaronovitch.
Miles Ketley, CEO of Stolen Picture says “Ben’s Rivers of London universe is the perfect project for Stolen and the perfect show for now: it’s a suspenseful, funny, scary and magical world but is rooted in the everyday with devious plots, fully drawn characters, river gods and riots. The franchise is going to be a wonderful confluence of Simon’s and Nick’s ambition and humour and Ben’s masterful story-telling to create a truly magical global show”.

The First Complete Guide to
Launching A
Profitable Podcast
So You Can Reach Your Ideal Audience and Convert Them Into Customers and Clients
"Most podcasters can't tell you the 3 critical components to becoming a Total Podcast Pro... Because they don't know them."
Here's The Deep Dark Secret in the World of Podcasting
Most people who start a podcast never make it through their first year. In fact, experts estimate 20% of new podcasters will never make it to their 10th episode.
So, what's the cause of so many eager and enthusiastic podcasters giving up, hanging up their headphones, unplugging their microphones, and suddenly dropping out of the podcasting game?
Here's Why Most Podcasters Fail
Confused By The Equipment Needed
Overwhelmed by the Work Involved
Underwhelmed by the Results
Not Generating Any Income
Nobody Is Listening
Run Out of Ideas
The Root Cause of These Issues Is...
Most podcasting coaches and courses only teach you the technical side of launching a podcast but leave out the critical creative and business elements which determine whether your podcast grows or flounders. This isn't intentional, it's simply because that's all it took for most of them to successfully get started 5 or 10 years ago. Podcasting was in it's infancy and it didn't take much to stand-out among a very uncrowded field. The most difficult hurdle most people had was learning the technical side of it all.
Today... Podcasting Is Different
It has never been easier to start your own podcast and put your voice out to the world. Unfortunately, it's never been more difficult to stand out in a crowded field of people trying to do the exact same thing.
The technology is a lot less complicated than it was even 5 years ago. You no longer need a massive mixer or other expensive equipment costing several hundred or even thousands of dollars. The best part is, you don't have to know how to set all of that equipment up in your basement.
You no longer have to learn confusing code in order create your "RSS feed" so your potential listeners can find you, or understand HTML in order to create your own website. These hurdles of the past are no longer standing in your way.
"The technical qualifications for starting a podcast are the ability to speak English, a microphone, and an internet connection. The qualifications for a successful podcast are... much more complicated."
- Jordan Harbinger
The Art of Charm Podcast
Your podcast must have professional audio in order to compete in today's media world. Your listeners have become accustomed to hearing extremely high quality audio in movies, on television, in the car, and even in their earbuds. This is the standard today. Thankfully, this is much easier and more affordable then ever before.
