Architect for the ages Norman Foster looks to the Past,Present and Future of Building Design
CNN ANCHOR: Now, he's arguably responsible for more of the world's instantly recognizable buildings than any other architect. Certainly here in London and around Europe, but what drives the designs of Norman Foster and what does he make of today's age of architecture is part of this month's Spirit of Architecture program. Becky Anderson sits down with the master designer.
BECKY ANDERSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: He may be based in London, but his appeal and attitude4 is truly international. I caught up with Lord Norman Foster in Barcelona and began by asking him what the purpose of architecture is.
NORMAN FOSTER, ARCHITECT: Since man came out of the cave, [he] needed to be protected from the elements, and then it becomes apparent that the quality of that environment affects the quality of your life, so the other dimension. In that sense, it's about society; it's about civilization; it's about a social agenda. It also is about symbolism. It's about the things that you can't measure. How do you measure the quality of the light, a view, sunshine?
BECKY ANDERSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: When you look at a building, what makes you feel happy and what makes you feel angry?
NORMAN FOSTER, ARCHITECT: What makes me feel good is when the environment, if I use it in the broadest sense, has been taken seriously by everybody involved, and they've insisted on quality. And quality is not about money; it's about attitude; it's about the quality of the thinking. You go to Rockefeller Center-you know, that's a public space; there's a place there. You go to Central Park; it's an extraordinary thing. You can't think of New York without Central Park. It's part of the infrastructure.
Of course, there are iconic buildings-overused word-but buildings which over time still command our respect and attention, and, you know, they roll off the tongue. There's the Seagram Building, you know? There's the Chrysler Building, the Empire State and so on.
BECKY ANDERSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Does every building that you're involved with have to be memorable and/or unique?
NORMAN FOSTER, ARCHITECT: I don't think it has to be memorable. If you come to our studio, you'll see schools, and we can talk about the way those schools have changed the lives of the children in terms of their academic standard. You can measure that. You can measure it from the school they were in before. It's not just the architecture. It's also about the teaching.
BECKY ANDERSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: How would you describe or characterize the age of architecture that we're in at the moment?
NORMAN FOSTER, ARCHITECT: It's an age of rapid change. It's an age of rapid urbanization. It's an age of extraordinary opportunity. And over time, I'm sure that, you know, future generations will sit back and say, "Well, they did that well. They did that, you know, not-so-well." It's a time of dynamic change, and many approaches, but also extraordinary opportunities through competition systems which didn't exist in the past.

Biosensor Core
Surface plasmons are clouds of electrons that resonate at a certain frequency. They are created by incoming light striking a compatible surface, such as the gold foil used in the Biacore® chip. The light is directed through a prism to the surface of the foil at a fixed angle that is consistent with Total Internal Reflection. (NB: Biacore® instruments use the “Kretschman configuration” for Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), which places the prism very close to the foil when the chip is mounted in the instrument). In Biacore® instruments, the wavelength is 760 nm, in the near IR range, and is generated by an LED. The light is reflected back from the foil through the prism and is detected by a very sensitive diode array that can measure differences in the angle of reflection of 1/10,000th of a degree, or even less.
At the point at which it hits the surface of the gold foil, the light creates an evanescent wave that interacts with the valence electrons of the gold at the opposite surface, creating clouds of these electrons that resonate in concert with the energy of the incoming light. The strength of this evanescent wave decays exponentially with distance. Nevertheless, any changes that occur as a result of the wave’s interaction with the foil includes the adjacent gold layer and the solution on the opposite side, and can be measured accurately up to 150 nm beyond the point of reflection. Proteins, antibodies, or other molecules can bind to the foil surface well within this distance (< 0.15 microns). For example, the dextran chains linked to the Biacore® CM5 chip surface are ~100 nm in length, and they are fully accessible over most of their lengths to be coupled to ligand because the gel-like environment they create (~2% hydrogel) is very porous.
The energy absorbed by the electrons is lost from the reflected light and appears as a small decrease in intensity (a faint “shadow”) at the point of reflection. The position of this “shadow” is very accurately detected by the diodes. If the refractive index of the solution applied to the gold surface changes, for example as an antigen binds to its antibody on the foil surface, the resonance frequency of the surface plasmons changes; as a result the position of this shadow changes. This is recorded as a function of time, in seconds.
In doing a study, running buffer alone establishes the position of the shadow under conditions in which the refractive index is constant. When the analyte (e.g., an antigen) is introduced, two things happen: there is a change in refractive index due to buffer mismatch, and a secondary, much smaller change due to binding of analyte to ligand (e.g., its antibody, covalently coupled) on the surface. The first is corrected for by running controls; the second is measured as the shadow moves as a function of time to positions further from the corrected original position.
The binding of 1 pg of material to the chip surface in the microhydraulic chamber gives a change in the position of the shadow that causes 1/10000th of a degree of shift in the angle of reflection, and this is read out as 1 Response Unit, or RU. Typical changes are 5-100 RU, due to binding of 5-100 pg of material, and 0.5-10/1,000ths of a degree caused by changes in the shadow’s position. Thus, the instrument reads the movement of the shadow in real time as binding occurs; it also reads the movement of the shadow back to its original position during the dissociation phase. Repeated studies with different concentrations of analyte therefore provide a series of association and dissociation curves that can be used to determine the kinetic and binding constants for the binding reaction under study.
Such changes are largely independent of the chemistry of the molecules involved. Thus, anything introduced into the medium that binds to the sensor’s metallic surface can alter the SPR signal. A major advantage of SPR is therefore that it can be used to detect a wide range of molecules, including proteins and peptides, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids, without the need to introduce labels of any type.

Senegal, AU launch “universal jurisdiction” prosecution of ex-Chad dictator
By Bill Humphrey February 14, 2015 - 3:18 am February 14, 2015 Arsenal Analysis
Chad’s brutal ex-dictator Hissène Habré will stand trial for war crimes, torture, and crimes against humanity in a landmark trial in Senegal. This is huge news if it goes forward because the Senegal trial — undertaken with African Union backing — and will be the African continent’s first-ever use of “universal jurisdiction.”
Universal jurisdiction is a controversial doctrine that allows countries to prosecute people they arrest for significant crimes of mass violence and human rights abuses committed in other places, even without direct interests of or crimes against the prosecuting country. It has been used most heavily by Spain (full story➚).
Habré, who ruled from 1982 until the 1990 coup that brought incumbent President Idriss Déby to power, has been in Senegal since his fall from power. He was placed under house arrest in 2005 and then formally taken to jail in 2013 ahead of the now-upcoming trial. He has been sought by various jurisdictions, including Chad, for his 1980s crimes — which include hundreds if not tens of thousands of political killings and tens or hundreds of thousands of torture victims — but until now he has avoided prosecution.
Universal jurisdiction efforts against him began as far back as 2000. Senegal was initially unsure whether it could apply universal jurisdiction in its domestic courts, but the country is a firm supporter of international justice as a general principle, having been the first country to ratify the creation of the International Criminal Court.
Throughout Habré’s rule he received paramilitary assistance from the United States (via the CIA) as part of Chad’s on-again-off-again war with Libya’s Qaddafi regime. Besides his crimes again humanity, Habré was most notable on the international stage, especially in retrospect, for his pioneering use of Toyota pickup trucks with improvised gun-mounts for highly-mobile desert combat, a tactic he used against the Libyan Army’s tanks to surprisingly strong effect. This tactic’s late 1980s use in the war with Libya may well have influenced the use of pickup trucks with improvised gun mounts in Libya’s 2011 Revolution against Qaddafi, which may have then spread via Libyan fighters to ISIS (and other insurgent groups) in eastern Syria and western Iraq.
There was extensive (albeit secret) U.S. panic when Habré fell from power that CIA-delivered heavy weapons, including the same type of anti-air equipment as what they were delivering to Afghanistan at the same time, might fall into the hands of Qaddafi, who at that point had already brought down the Pan-Am flight over Lockerbie.

Saving Grace: Father Bernard Kinvi of Central African Republic
By Bill Humphrey November 15, 2014 - 1:40 am November 15, 2014 Arsenal Pulse
The story of a Catholic priest, Father Bernard Kinvi, who protected Muslim civilians in Central African Republic from extremist Christian militias during the country’s reciprocal genocide, from late 2013 into early 2014, in its ongoing conflict:
At one point, 1,500 Muslims were living under the protection of a man whose only sources of power were his faith and the black cassock with a large red cross on the chest that he wears as a member of the Camillian order.
From mid-January to April, Kinvi barely slept, terrified that if he closed his eyes the militia would fulfill their threats to murder all the Muslims in the mission. But bit-by-bit, lorry load by lorry load, the priest started to get the Muslims out of the area and over the border into Cameroon.
In contrast, French “peacekeepers” literally stood and watched Muslims being hacked to death in front of them by Christian extremists. Actual rescue missions, as in Rwanda in 1994, had to be staged by African peacekeepers.
Ten years from now, everyone is going to be asking why the world did nothing there. And there will be no good explanations or excuses.

Vojislav Seselj has been on trial at The Hague since 2003, representing himself against charges of inciting fellow Serb nationalists to commit war crimes in Croatia and Bosnia during the 1990s Balkan Wars. Now he has cancer, and they’re going to consider sending him back to Serbia, of all places, as if no other countries — including the Netherlands, where he’s on trial — have cancer treatment. Why? Because this (alleged) genocide-inciting dude is literally so obnoxious, insufferable, and dangerous on trial (over the course of eleven years!) that they might just prefer to send him home to die rather than continue putting up with him … and probably not reach justice anyway in time.
He’s been such a headache and awful monster during the trial — repeatedly convicted of contempt of court and continually publishing classified court documents to expose the identities of key witnesses — that his behavior might force the international court system to completely rethink how it conducts trials for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other similar cases. It’s quite possibly more harmful to keep going with his trial than to suspend it.
Incitement trials, I suspect, are basically asking for insufferable grandstanding under the current system. If someone has the wherewithal to inspire people through the power of words to go kill members of a rival sect they’re probably pretty talented at haranguing and badgering everyone in the courtroom for a decade and generally putting on a big show about being victimized.

By Bill Humphrey April 8, 2014 - 9:11 pm April 8, 2014 Commentary
It is the 20th anniversary right now of the start of the Rwandan Genocide. In Yugoslavia, in the same time span, there were many massacres and ethnic purges occurring as well, as the country continued to disintegrate over the the 1990s. (Next year will be the anniversary of the worst European massacre in postwar history.) There have been a number of compelling and important perspectives and accounts surfacing now, two decades later, from both episodes.
In Rwanda, there was very little outside intervention until the very end, when it was already over. In Bosnia and the wider Yugoslav conflict, there was some intervention off and on by outside powers to try to halt the violence, but it was generally too little too late. Certainly much of the external narrative focuses on those who failed to stand up — inside and outside the countries — to protect the innocent civilians. I think that’s important and justified, in that we should not forget and must do better. But it’s also important to remember and honor those who did intervene in these crises, at great personal risk — because their stories are the ones that remind us we could have and should have helped.
Here are two accounts I’ve read this week that I wanted to highlight. I’ve pulled just one paragraph from each, to encourage you to read the full articles.
Background: As the cowardly UN Security Council voted to start pulling hundreds of peacekeepers out of Rwanda during the genocide, a Ghanaian general decided on his own (for which he would be scolded by his president later) that he would not withdraw his last 454 troops from the country. They were young, inexperienced, and barely armed. The militias had already brazenly executed Belgian peacekeeping troops with impunity. And still the Ghanaians stayed. They are credited with saving as many as 30,000 lives, often simply by refusing to move out of the way and talking and talking until the militiamen left in frustration. There were only 5 casualties.
Excerpt from “Ghana peacekeepers remember Rwanda’s genocide” by Chris Stein for Al Jazeera:
The colonel demanded that they call their commanders, going back and forth with the leaders of the assembled mob for hours. The militiamen would threaten him with grenades, going so far as to pull out their pins in front of his face. [Col.] Yaache would pick the pins up off the ground and put them back in the grenades himself.
Yugoslavia:
“I Found the Man Who Saved My Family From a Balkan Death Camp” by Kenan Trebinčević for Slate.
I realized that Pero never had the power to stop the massacres. Yet he’d carry our murdered citizens on his conscience. I could never forget: He saved my family. I decided he was a noble man trapped in a depravity he didn’t ask for. While I was a bilingual world traveler nearly able to move on, history held him hostage, keeping him from rest. I wondered for the first time if he’d suffered more than I did.

US diplomacy runs into foreign politics
By Bill Humphrey December 12, 2013 - 8:02 pm February 28, 2014 Arsenal Pulse
Here’s a good read. ForeignPolicy.com: “Will India’s Next Leader Be Banned From America?”
My Summary: In 2005, the US State Department banned a state-level Indian politician, Narendra Modi, Chief Minister of Gujarat, from coming to the United States due to his alleged role in genocidal activities against Muslims (though investigations in India have never officially tied him to them) during the February 2002 riots in Gujarat. State figured it would be a symbolic denunciation with few likely consequences down the road.
Fast forward to present and now he is a national leader of the main opposition party (the Hindu nationalist BJP) and is widely anticipated to cruise into the office of prime minister next year. Now, the State Department is on the fence about what to do, particularly since he hasn’t been elected yet. Lifting the ban now would be seen as an endorsement or interference. Lifting it after he wins (if indeed he does) would be embarrassing and make the State Department look like it was bending the rules.

Afghanistan 1978-79, unearthed
By Bill Humphrey September 30, 2013 - 8:00 pm March 8, 2014 Arsenal Pulse
Dutch crimes-against-humanity investigators have published a list of 5,000 names of Afghans (out of tens of thousands) summarily executed by the Communist government between their April 1978 coup and the December 1979 Soviet invasion. The wave of executions was launched in response to a massive rebellion against the new government, in which 40,000 troops defected to the jihadists and rebels. Many of the victims of this Terror were given one-word charges, according to the documents, and buried alive in mass graves, according to soldiers who took part. The release of the names has provoked a huge reaction (of many emotions) this month, particularly since many senior ex-Communists are in the current government.

The Dead in the Daily Utah Chronicle, 1967-1970
HIPPIES ARE REAL PEOPLE
A Sunday stroll through the park to hear the local band concert can be quite a different thing if the park is between Fell and Oak in San Francisco. You are liable to be surrounded by hippies grooving it to the sound of the "Grateful Dead."
The park is known as the panhandle and extends down from Golden Gate Park just below Haight and Ashburry. It is filled with wandering paths, basketball courts, swings, sandpiles, restrooms, lots of greenery, and last Sunday it was filled with hippies.
The word had spread that the "heat is on" up on Haight. Most of the group did not want to hike off to the "Berkeley Barb's" advertised [April] 9th happening on Telegraph Street in Berkeley. It was a tourist filled Sunday with Grayline Tours dragging little old ladies and balding executives through the "city's" prime attraction of late, the Haight Ashburry district.
The hippies left Haight to the tourists and wandered to find something more real. They found it in the park.
It was a real "happening." The "Grateful Dead," best known for their bizarre dress and the posters of the "pig pen," one of the group's way out guitarists, got a lorry, a flat bed Ford truck, and ran an electric line across a nearby street for juice.
The beat was loud and strong, the streets poured into the park, and we were surrounded by long hair, beads and weird, dirty attire. What had started as a walk to reminisce with a Salt Lake chick trying to make good in S.F. turned into a fascinating and thought-[motivating] "thing."
Hippies are real people, They have desires and a warm need. Contrary to popular hope they don't appear to be a bunch of raving kids trying to escape the consequences of life, rejecting and rioting. Sure, they have built their own life in a different approach to society's, but because they are different, are they wrong?
I don't know. I only saw people acting and reacting, living and not trying to harm the whole world through subversion.
The basketball games went on. No one objected. The swings were filled with children. If the bigots of life could only see a hippie pushing his kid in a swing, instead of marching in protest.
Children were everywhere. Many a mother would have shrieked horror. No need. The children were loved and accepted. Their wants were catered to. The love of person to person was not feigned because it was the thing to do. The hippies felt it. Where was the [hypocrisy] of our daily existence? I could not find it.
Over in the corner a rhythm concert beat on. Cats had gathered from Aquatic Park, the usual scene of the drums, to this forgotten corner. No one minded. Many wandered over to sway and feel the primitive beat of the drums. The drummers had escaped the tourists too. They beat their drums because they felt like it. We listened because we felt like it.
Everybody is dancing. Some only subtly with occasional foot movements, others gyrate with careless abandon. We gather to watch them feel it, because we felt it too.
Of course, many of the hippies are high, but so what. It was much more orderly than many a bar. It was pleasant contrast to the Broadway scene of bare breasts for commercialism. Anything on the park scene was there because it was real.
When it was all over the park drifted empty except for the Hell's Angels who were pouring beer over one another. As we left psychedelic artists held up banner paintings that we ran through. The Salt Lake girl reached over and hugged the fellow with whom she had been dancing. No one cared that he was a Negro. I felt relieved because neither did I.
The morning S.F. papers carried a story buried inside about a quiet day in Haight. If a march or demonstration had taken place it would have made front page banner.
These people are being involved with many groups pushing for their own convictions. I believe in free agency and expression. I also believe that man is a rational animal, when not pushed in a corner to fight for his existence. Blown up news coverage and mass rejection of ideas without examining them leads to this very corner. Would it not be better to allow the freedoms of thought and expression without rigid social [morals]? I thought so Sunday.
As I left someone pushed a copy of the hippie underground paper into my hand. Ginsberg and group were discussing the scene. One thought struck me from the printed page. What better purpose than no purpose. I wonder.
(by Harris Vincent, from the Daily Utah Chronicle, 12 April 1967)
LAST STOMP SET
The most recent sound out of San Francisco will pulsate to the flashing colors of a "light show" at this summer's final stomp Saturday, at 8:30 p.m., in the Union Ballroom.
Featured group, "The War of Armegheddon," will play "The Grateful Dead" and other current sounds.
Admission is 25 cents with University identification.
Chairman of the stomp, Val Ness, said that an average of 300-400 people have attended the stomps this summer.
(from the Daily Utah Chronicle, 11 August 1967)
GRATEFUL DEAD AT SDS BALL
San Francisco acid rock group the Grateful Dead is finally making it to the University.
The "Dead" was once scheduled for a concert in the Union Ballroom earlier this year, but were forced to cancel the appearance.
However they will play at the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) Ball in the Union Ballroom Saturday from 8 to 10 p.m.
The Spirit of Creation share the stage with the Grateful Dead for the Saturday dance, and lights will be provided by Five Fingers.
Students can attend the dance for $2 and the general public can for $3.
(from the Daily Utah Chronicle, 11 April 1969)
(Ads for the show announced two shows at 8 & 10 p.m., the actual schedule.)
TWO NEW 'DEAD' ALBUMS
Last Saturday night between sets, we interviewed The Grateful Dead, and got advance notice of the impending release of their new recordings. They have two new albums already completed, one is a studio job and the other is a double record thing recorded live in concert at the Fillmore East. [sic] It is all work that they have done themselves and the two albums are supposed to be totally different from each other as well as from anything the "Dead" have done before. The release schedule is 30 days for the studio job and 60 days for the live.
In addition, Bob Weir told us how they got the name Grateful Dead. They were flipping through the dictionary one rainy November afternoon four years ago and came across the "ethnomusicological" term The Grateful Dead. It refers to a series of English folk songs collected by a man named Childe and subsequently called Childe Ballads. (If you're interested, Joan Baez has a number of these ballads recorded for Vanguard Records.) Anyway, nobody objected to the name, so it stuck.
(by Richard Thomas, from the Daily Utah Chronicle, 18 April 1969)
The Dead played at the Terrace in Salt Lake City on 9/26/70, show at 9 p.m., advertised as "An Evening with the Grateful Dead...a solid 3 hrs. with the 'Dead.'" No reviews were found, but there were a couple followup articles on the Terrace:
THE NEW MUSIC
GETTING READY FOR THE FIRE
Those of us who made it to the Santana at the Salt Palace and Grateful Dead at the Terrace - aside from experiencing two of the best concerts this city has ever seen - may have planted our bums on the "floor" for the last time. Looks like it may be reserved seats everywhere from now on. It's the age-old problem of impractical fire ordinances, i.e. gotta have seven square feet per person, "adequate" aisles, etc. Like many of our older laws (I'm told a chick can still get jailed for smoking cigarettes in SLC) they may be ignored by the police and fire departments. On the other hand, the Fire Marshall can be a real heavyweight if he wants to.
Also, Saturday night at the Dead concert, the narcs decided to pull off their first in-concert bust, and hauled out a few unsuspecting heads. It's all part of the latest federal crackdown on smokers of the "killer" drug. Gotta have law an' order, ya know.
(by Steve Poulson, from the Daily Utah Chronicle, 29 September 1970)
UNCOOPERATIVE AUDIENCE CLOSES ROCK SHOWS [edited]
The recent Pink Floyd concert may well be one of the last rock shows to be held in the Terrace. The management has given a number of reasons for taking this stand. They include damage and violation of the fire and building codes. The main problem, however, is the lack of cooperation by the audience.
The problem has been growing for some time. It started a year ago after the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young concert at the newly completed Salt Palace. So many people were so disgusted with the poor acoustic, reserved seating, and the distance to the stage that a cry was raised for a return to the "good shows" at the Terrace.
At this point some local people got together a few small bands and put on their own Terrace concert. Their groups weren't famous, but turnout was still good. Tickets sold for $1.50 as compared to $4.50 or $5.50 at the Salt Palace. There were no chairs out on the main floor, so it was easy to walk around, dance or just sit close to friends. In addition, police and ushers didn't walk through the crowd telling people to move or stop smoking. Overall, the Terrace was a pleasant place to listen to music.
There are problems with the Terrace, though. These are mainly a problem of its small size. It takes a lot of capital to sponsor a rock concert. For a good group, artist's fees can run to $10,000 or more. To this must be added the cost of renting the hall, printing posters and tickets, and assigning advertising. The Terrace isn't near the size of the Salt Palace so a promoter can't sell as many tickets and make as much profit for his trouble. [ . . . ] The people putting on the show have to enforce the fire regulations, drug laws, and local conduct ordinances.
There were people in town that were willing to accept the job however, and the Terrace once again became the home of Salt Lake's great rock concerts.
Meanwhile, the Salt Palace was being rented to out-of-state promoters like Barry Fahey from Denver. These people have a great deal of capital and can put on huge shows. The last one at the Salt Palace, sponsored by Fahey's partner Barry Imhoff, featured three top groups. This was the first show after summer vacation and the Salt Palace was packed.
The concert was presented in what is called "festival seating." This means no chairs out on the main floor. This is what the audience wanted so Barry Imhoff wanted to do it. The problem was that more people attended the concert than there was room for on the floor alone.
Fire Marshal Leon R. DeKorver said the floor was severely overcrowded. Aisles that once existed disintegrated as the crowd moved in. This is common at the Terrace, but the Salt Palace is a much larger building. The building code requires an exit every 100 feet and an aisle to each exit.
At a meeting after the concert with Salt Palace officials, the Fire Department outlined the violations that took place. They charged the Salt Palace with failing to adequately enforce the fire regulations. Chief DeKorver said [ . . . ] there must be "adequate egress."
The other complaint raised by the Fire Department was the flagrant violation in both the Terrace and the Salt Palace of the no smoking regulation. [ . . . ] The audience wouldn't cooperate with the promoters on this regulation. At the Santana-Country Joe concert last month, more cigarettes (and other smokeables) were lit after Barry Imhoff asked the audience to stop than before. This apparent lack of concern promoted the Fire Department's action against the manager of the Salt Palace, Earl L. Duryea.
When asked about the incident, Duryea said he didn't want the Salt Palace to be the only hall in town where the fire code is strictly followed. Two weeks later his concern took him to the Terrace the evening of the Grateful Dead concert. Duryea said he went to the concert to see for himself how the Terrace ran its shows.
The Fire Department also inspected that show and noted many of the same violations that were present at the Salt Palace's Santana concert.[ . . . ]
Following the unpleasant Grateful Dead show, the operators of the Terrace decided to discontinue all rock attractions. Terrace manager L. Jay Monk said, "the (fire) regulations are justified," it is only that "the kids are being lax."
The Terrace officially announced its intentions at the Pink Floyd concert in a printed handout. This read in part, "The Terrace is part of the Establishment (without any apologies)...and it is essential to conform."
The statement stressed conformity in three areas. They are: No smoking on the dance floor, compliance with all legal ordinances, and cooperation with law enforcement officers.
There is still time to reverse the Terrace's decision. Two concerts remain on the books and are scheduled for later this fall... [Steppenwolf & Alice Cooper] If the audiences for these shows can cooperate, perhaps there will be future concerts at the Terrace.

The Chronicle was the student newspaper at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. This is a compilation of several articles over the years, none really worth posting by itself but all of some interest.
The first article from 1967 is by one of the editors of the paper who happened to be visiting San Francisco when the Dead played in the Panhandle, most likely on April 9. He knows nothing about the band except they dress strangely and have some popular character named "pigpen."
Many newspapers around the country had reporters heading to SF to report on the Haight-Ashbury scene - those articles are of great interest in how they depict hippie life (mostly negatively), but tend to mention the Dead only in passing as a band popular among the kids. So it's unusual to find a reporter stumbling across a Dead show, and what's more, greatly impressed by what he finds. But then you'd expect a college student to find the hippie lifestyle more appealing than the "adult" journalists tended to.
The second 1967 article concerns a "stomp," one of the student dances held at the university, usually in the Union Ballroom and mostly with local bands. The War of Armageddon was a local rock group (in October '67 they'd open for Strawberry Alarm Clock at another Union Ballroom Stomp, and in Feb/March 1968 they'd open for several touring groups at the Terrace such as Spirit, Love, and Jefferson Airplane.)
What's interesting here is that this local band is "will play the Grateful Dead" - considering the Dead's album had only come out a few months earlier, this may be the earliest known reference to another band covering the Dead.
The 1969 articles are based around the Dead's show at the Union Ballroom, unfortunately not reviewed. (The March 26 Chronicle noted that the Dead had canceled a show scheduled there sometime that month.)
The interview has a couple bits of misinformation - although the Dead had their albums ready to release, the Warners release schedule was much longer than they expected - Aoxomoxoa would be out in two months, Live/Dead not for seven months.
Also, Weir's slightly mistaken about the origin of the term "Grateful Dead," but he shared his belief with Garcia, who in a couple '67 interviews had also said that it was "an ethnomusicological term...a family of medieval ballads." The term actually described folk tales, not ballads, but it's interesting they would remember it that way.
The final articles from 1970 don't say much about the Dead show at the Terrace, just the venue problems (drug busts, fire-marshal complaints). According to one history of the Terrace, the "audience seemed to have an increasing disregard for the law. A big chunk of the ballroom’s revenue was going towards repairs to damaged property and hiring extra officers to maintain order. Several attempts were made for cooperation from the younger crowds. Even though the problems were caused by “a sizable minority” as manager Boyd Jensen acknowledged, the decision was made to end rock concerts at The Terrace... The Terrace continued to have “non-rock, traditional musical dancing” twice a week and after a few trial runs, rock bands were allowed to perform at the ballroom again starting in 1972."

By the way, the Grateful Dead were all but nonexistent in the Salt Lake Tribune, which didn't so much as mention any of their Salt Lake City shows from '69-73. A good illustration of the difference between college papers and some of the mainstream city newspapers, which often ignored rock music.

I was mistaken - while the Tribune may have had a snooty attitude toward rock bands, actually it did cover the Dead's 1970 show at the Terrace, which I just posted. That's one thing about online searches, what you don't find today might appear tomorrow.

Dr. Paul Lawrence, VA’s Under Secretary for Benefits, addresses The American Legion. (Photo by Josh Marshall)
By Steven B. Brooks
The transition from the military to civilian world can be difficult, with veterans sometimes running into hurdles as they seek out potential benefits, and look to further themselves either through training or education, or head directly into the workforce.
But a new Department of Veterans Affairs initiative is geared toward helping new veterans not fall through the cracks during that first year out of the military.
Dr. Paul Lawrence, VA’s Under Secretary for Benefits, shared information on VA’s Solid Start program with The American Legion’s Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation Commission March 9 during the organization’s Washington Conference.
Through the Solid Start program, VA will contact veterans three times during the first year of their transition, with the initial contact coming within the first 90 days of separation from military service and then additional phone calls coming within six months and the final coming toward the end of the year.
“What we talked about here is establishing a relationship with VA,” Lawrence said. “They’ve just left the greatest team in the history of the world, the U.S. military, and the next day they wake up with no connectivity.”
Lawrence said the phone calls are driven by the veteran. “We ask them, ‘What do you need?’” he said. “I think this was designed with the understanding that maybe folks would ask for mental health resources. But actually, it’s been not. Of the 50,000 calls that we’ve connected with, most of them are asking about benefits. So often it’s ‘How do I get health care? How do I file a claim? How do I do things?’ So we talk to them, we answer their questions, and we follow up with an email.”
Lawrence asked Legionnaires to reach out to newly transitioning veterans to make sure they are aware of the program; those who have not been contacted within the first 90 days of their separation are urged to contact VA at (800) 827-1000 to get their information in the Solid Start program.
Lawrence also provided good news for veterans using the newest version of the GI Bill, also known as the Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance Act, and getting a housing allowance. Because of technology issues, the Veterans Benefits Administration ran into difficulties paying student veterans the proper housing allowances.
The problem has been fixed, Lawrence said, and student veterans are now being paid the proper housing allowance. “What we did is make sure everyone going to school in the spring of 2020 has the right housing allowance,” Lawrence said. “And we promise that since the law should have been implemented in August of 2018, later this spring we will re-compute everybody who’s gone to school this period of time … and if we owe you money, we will send you what we owe you. If we’ve overpaid you, you can keep it. We will not establish a debt.
“It’s just fair. We made the mistake. It’s not fair our veterans should pay.”
Cheryl Mason, chairman of VA’s Board of Veterans’ Appeals, briefed the committee on two new ways of holding appeals hearings: virtual hearings and geo-matching.
Virtual hearings allow veterans and their claim representatives to participate over the phone in an appeals hearing with a judge in D.C. “You can have that hearing in a virtual room,” Mason said. “It’s a protected room. To date, we’ve held over 250 of those in tests. Especially in the days we have right now with the coronavirus, this is something we’re seeing more asks for. You all have been asking for that before. We’re very happy that we’re very close to rolling it out. Probably it will happen later this year. We want to make sure it works and works well before we roll it out.”
Geo-matching allows VA to hold hearings for veterans in the state that’s closest to where they live. However, when the program was rolled out, “The technology could schedule the veteran for a hearing across the border, but it forgot to check the capacity for the regional office and the (veteran’s representative),” Mason said. “So we have backed that off a little bit. So in the areas where we can hold it and we are not putting too much on the regional office, or you all and your colleagues, we are holding those geo-matching. In a couple of the other areas, such as Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia, we’re taking a step back and pausing that for a minute until we get all of our ducks in a row.”
Mason also shared an update on the board’s legacy appeals, which are claims for which VA provided notice of decision prior to implementation of the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017 (AMA) and the claimant has not elected to participate in the AMA process.
“That’s where you all come in,” Mason said. “We need your help making sure that if the veteran is in the Legacy program that we’re getting those cases done for you. If you need to advance those cases on the docket due to illness or financial reasons, please let us know. We automatically advance on the docket for (ages) 75 and over.”
Bill Brassard, senior director of Communications for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, discussed a collaboration between his organization, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to stem veteran suicide. Firearms retailers and shooting ranges are provided a toolkit that includes in-store signage aimed to educate veteran gun owners about suicide, warning signs, risk factors and the importance of securely storing firearms to help prevent access in times of distress.
A pilot program is taking place in six states and the District of Columbia. “If it works well, it will be rolled out nationally across the country,” said Brassard.
Randy Reeves, VA’s Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs, updated the commission on the Veterans Legacy Program (VLP), which commemorates the nation's veterans through the discovery and sharing of their stories. Through the program, students and teachers from kindergarten through college across the nation use the historical resources found within the National Cemetery Administration cemeteries. Those participating in the program research veterans interred in national cemeteries and develop educational tools that increase public awareness of veterans’ service and sacrifice.
Reeves said the VLP “is allowing us to be able to preserve those legacies and tell those stories of our veterans. I want to thank The American Legion for supporting our legislation … that was signed by the president not long ago that allows us to provide grants to colleges and universities … so they can participate in the Veterans Legacy Program.”

Language facts: Tagalog
Tagalog (also known as Filipino or the native Pilipino) is one of the two official languages of the Philippines, the other being English. Tagalog is an Austronesian language and as such related to Malay, Javanese and Hawaiian. Tagalog is the first language of one third of the Philippines with about 21.5 million speakers, and the second language of the remaining two thirds (approximately 70 million speakers) who use other regional languages such as Ilocano, Cebuano, Waray, Bikolano, Bisaya, etc. The language is also spoken by many ethnic minorities (including 1.5 million diaspora in the United States).
El Nindo, Palawan, Philipines
Mysterious language ruled by the Spanish
Very little is known about Tagalog that most likely has its origins in Mindanao (the second largest island in the Philipines). Literally Tagalog means “river dweller”. It was declared the official language by the Philippines’ first constitution in 1897. Today, Tagalog is concentrated to the central and southern parts of Luzon, but is also spoken on many other islands.
Tagalog's first written record dates back to 900 AD, while the first book known to be written in Tagalog – the Doctrina Christiana – came to light by the end of 16th century (1593) and used also Spanish alongside Tagalog.
The Spanish colonists and the strong Christian culture they brought upon the islands heavily influenced evolution of (not just) the languages of the Phillipines. It was, after all, Spanish monk Pedro de San Buenaverture, who wrote the first dictionary of Tagalog. Interestingly, another and much more substantial dictionary (Vocabulario de la lengua tagala) was written by Czech Jesuit, Paul Klein, who published several other books in Tagalog.
Until 1987, Tagalog was based on a writing system consisting of 20 Latin letters, the so called ABAKADA alphabet. Today it adopts 28 letters under the official name Filipino.

Endangered languages: Will your mother tongue survive?
Welcome to the extinction era! You may not be aware of it since it seems the human race is thriving, but Earth is experiencing yet another mass extinction. Scientists have lately suggested defining a new epoch, Anthropocene, as it may be us, humans, who have contributed our bit to the current unfolding of events. Human impact is endangering the animals and plants, but in truth they are not the only ones endangered.
It's not just dinosarus. Languages become extinct too.
Migration killing unique cultures?
96% of the world's languages are spoken by only 4% of the global population according to the Sorosoro foundation. Globalization and mass migration in the 21st century have caused adoption of a dominant language in many areas to the detriment of original, local languages (what a paradox in terms of multiculturalism). It is now estimated that a substantial part of the world's presently known languages and dialects will cease to exist in written or spoken form and even become extinct in the not-so-distant future. According to UNESCO, unless this trend is reversed, half of today's 7,000+ languages will disappear by the end of this century. Columbia University linguist John McWhorter's predictions are even more gloomy with the outlook that 90% of today's existing languages will be displaced on a global scale by simplified versions of culturally dominant languages. Given that one of the important defining factors of a culture – if not the most important one – is its language, such development would irreversibly deprive us of our world's most important cultural heritage. New languages simply don't come into existence in amounts that would compensate this trend. And by definition, they cannot compensate the loss of languages that have developed through the course of human history.
These languages should begin to worry us
Despite many arguments and disagreement on the definition of a language vs. a dialect, in terms of extinction, both a language and a dialect are equal. Hundreds of languages literally waiting to cease to exist as their last living speakers pass away. In Europe, we see dialects such as Bavarian (Germany, Austria), Gordiol (Italy), Istriot (Croatia) and Cornish (UK) that are likely heading toward their terminal days. Also Walloon, spoken in a good part of Belgium, Yiddish, and Romani – the tongue of Romani (Gypsy) people across Europe – are on the endangered list.
Panda bear - an example of successful endangered species rescue.
How to preserve a language
Systematic efforts are being made to document as many languages as possible and preserve them at least in artificial form. It is in fact feasible to revive a language suppressed or existing in "lab conditions" only, and history has shown us many an example. One is modern Hebrew, which was revived to a living official language from ancient religious texts. Also Irish and Greenlandic languages were resurrected from near-death thanks to social and political development, and they are now slowly beginning to spread. And in terms of language documentation, preservation and popularization, the translation industry can in fact help a lot :)

Language facts: Croatian
Croatian is a South Slavic language used primarily in Croatia (where it is an official language) by Croats living in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in neighboring countries where Croats make up autochthonous communities (e.g. the Serbian province of Vojvodina, Molise in Italy, or Burgenland in Austria), and generally the global Croatian diaspora.
Old Istrian town of Rovnij.
It is sometimes classified as belonging to the Central South Slavic diasystem (also referred to as "Serbo-Croatian"). Croatian is spoken by 4,800,000 native speakers and approx. 6.5 million people around the world and uses a three-letter code: HRV (= hrvatska/i) for international recognition. It is also one of the official EU languages since Croatia became an EU member in 2013.
Croatian: a language with mixed origin
The modern Croatian standard language is a continuous outgrowth of more than nine hundred years of literature written in a mixture of Croatian Church Slavonic, or worded differently the Serbo-Croatian variant of Church Slavonic (i.e. Old Slavonic that was, for a brief period, also an official recognized language of the liturgy) and the vernacular language. Croatian Church Slavonic was abandoned by the mid-15th century, and Croatian as embodied in a purely vernacular literature (Shtokavian dialect literature) has now existed for more than five centuries.
Nowadays the Croatian language is an important symbol of national identity, but suggesting that Croatian language equals or is fully intelligible with Serbo-Croatian is still a sensitive subject to bring up. In fact, the differences between Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian language are (sometimes much too intensively) highlighted due to political reasons. The fact is that Croatians, Bosnians and Serbians generally understand each other, similarly to or even better than Czechs and Slovaks.
The Croatian alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet with special characters ć, č, đ, š, ž, dž; it does not have q, w, x, y.

Encore Boston Harbor Announces Changes to Culinary Team
by Independent Staff • January 13, 2021 • 0 Comments
Encore Boston Harbor is raising its culinary bar with the addition of a new Red 8 Executive Chef and a new Executive Director of Food & Beverage and Culinary Operations.
Award-winning chef Richard Chen has joined the team as the Executive Chef of Red 8 and Encore Boston Harbor’s Executive Chef, Joseph Leibowitz, has been promoted to Executive Director of Food & Beverage and Culinary Operations.
Chef Chen, a seasoned culinary veteran with an area of expertise in Cantonese cooking, has received numerous awards and accolades. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Chef Chen has opened more than a half dozen new concepts across the country, including luxury hotels, casino resorts, cruise ships and standalone restaurants.
He launched his career in Chicago at the Ritz Carlton of Chicago, earning Mobil Five Star and AAA Five Diamond awards during his tenure. He then moved onto the Peninsula of Chicago, a five-star hotel, where he earned two AAA diamond awards, two Mobil star awards, and the title of “Best Chinese Restaurant” in Chicago.
From there, Chef Chen went on to open Wing Lei at Wynn Las Vegas. It was at Wing Lei that he earned a Michelin star in both 2008 and 2009, along with a collection of Mobil and AAA Diamonds five and four-star awards. Wing Lei remains the only Chinese restaurant in North America to have ever earned a Michelin star. He also spent time at Michi in Texas, consulting for Princess Cruises and Parq Vancouver’s fine dining Chinese restaurant, 1886. Most recently, Chef Chen held the title of the Hard Rock Fire Mountain’s property Executive Sous Chef before returning to the East Coast to join Encore Boston Harbor as the Executive Chef at Red 8.
Joining Chef Chen in elevating the Encore Boston Harbor culinary team is Joseph Leibowitz. Holding the title most recently as Executive Chef of Encore Boston Harbor, Chef Leibowitz has been promoted to Executive Director of Food & Beverage and Culinary Operations for the property. Chef Leibowitz will now oversee all back-of-house operations for 18 dining and lounge venues. He is responsible for concept and menu development, purchasing, food costing, kitchen design, stewarding, as well as staffing and training all employees.
Prior to relocating to Boston, Chef Leibowitz spent 13 years at Wynn and Encore Las Vegas in a variety of culinary positions. He began his career with Wynn Resorts under the helm of Chef Alex Stratta, at Alex restaurant where he was quickly promoted to Executive Sous Chef for the Michelin-rated two-star and Forbes five-star establishment before becoming the Chef de Cuisine of the restaurant. He later became Executive Chef of Tableau, the resort’s premier Tower Suites dining venue before being asked to join the corporate side of operations as Executive Sous chef for Wynn and Encore Las Vegas.
For the next three years, Chef Leibowitz helped develop and lead a team of over 1,200 chefs, cooks and stewards. He then went on to assist in designing all of the back-of-house spaces for Encore Boston Harbor, before developing the culinary team for the resort’s grand opening in June 2019.
Since arriving in Boston, Chef Leibowitz has been appointed to multiple advisory boards to help cultivate the future of culinary arts as a profession in Massachusetts. Chef Leibowitz and Encore Boston Harbor quickly formed a partnership with a local non-profit culinary program, the New England Center for Arts and Technology, and spearheaded the fundraising of over $300,000 to fuel the development of the program and its students.
A New York native, Chef Leibowitz lived most of his life on Long Island and graduated at the top of his class from the New York Institute of Technology’s culinary program. Chef Leibowitz spends his free time with his three children and his wife, whose support and love drives him to be the chef and father he is today.
According to Encore Boston Harbor President Brian Gullbrants, “We are thrilled to welcome Richard Chen as the new Executive Chef of Red 8. He is one of the most talented Cantonese chefs in the world, and we are honored to have him as part of our team.” He continued, “The addition of Chef Chen paired with the promotion of our own Chef Joseph Leibowitz will continue to elevate the caliber of our food and beverage program at Encore Boston Harbor.”
Red 8 is open Thursday through Sunday from noon-9 p.m. Red 8 is located inside Encore Boston Harbor at 1 Broadway in Everett. There is complimentary self-parking available. Reservations can be made online or by calling 857-770-7000.

ATE@20 Showcases Accomplishments of NSF’s Advanced Technological Education Program
The National Science Foundation’s Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program is celebrating twenty years of supporting technician education this year.
Begun in 1993, the ATE program supports innovative efforts to improve the education of incumbent and prospective technicians, and the professional development of educators who teach them. The program focuses on technician preparation in fields vital to the nation’s security such as information technology, manufacturing, agriculture, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and engineering technology.
As part of this celebration ATE Central, a crosscutting ATE project that aims to support and highlight the
work of the 300-plus funded projects and centers, is spearheading the ATE@20 Book + Blog project—showcasing the accomplishments of the ATE program during the past 20 years. The blog aims to reach students, parents, educators, as well as business and industry partners with articles about successful technicians and cutting-edge technical education programs. The blog will feature stories throughout the anniversary year and entries may be reprinted or reused. The book, which chronicles the program with feature stories and programmatic data infographics, will be released in October.
Since it was created in response to the Scientific and Advanced Technology Act of 1992, the ATE program’s various student recruitment efforts have meshed with the National Careers Pathway Network to encourage youngsters to enter technical careers and to improve the opportunities of underemployed adults.
Recognition that true change rarely happens in isolation led to requirements that ATE initiatives:
involve two-year college educators in leadership roles
collaborate with employers
connect with secondary school teachers and university faculty
Gerhard Salinger, a National Science Foundation (NSF) program director who was co-lead of the ATE program from 1993 through 2012, said the team involved in structuring the competitive grant program wanted broad and deep partnerships for a simple reason: “We could get more done if people collaborated.” Collegiality among ATE principal investigators is another program hallmark. “We wanted it to be a program and not just a series of grants.”
Elizabeth J. Teles, who was co-lead of ATE with Salinger from 1993 to 2009. They hoped that a network of partnerships beyond the particular college department or campus receiving an ATE grant would help sustain activities and lead to other innovations after the NSF grant funding ended.”I just saw too many people acting in isolation, not realizing there were components in other projects. I had worked in a few projects at my college, and I felt like we did them, but we didn’t have any idea what other people who were being supported were doing,” Teles said. She taught mathematics at Montgomery College before a fellowship at the NSF led to her employment as a program director.
The annual ATE Principal Investigators’ Conference is an example of NSF investment in building a truly collaborative ATE community. At these high-energy meetings, ATE grant recipients share their successes and challenges to improve overall practices, and build professional networks that have frequently led to other collaborations. For instance, several consortia formed by ATE centers have been awarded large Department of Labor grants.
As the NSF’s largest community college investment, ATE has broadened the federal government’s definition of STEM workforce. By focusing on the associate degree programs offered by two-year colleges—primarily by public community colleges, ATE provides technicians with a solid academic foundation that enables them to learn throughout their careers. ATE enhancements to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses equip students to move more efficiently on career paths from high school to two-year colleges, from two-year colleges to technical careers, and from two-year colleges to four-year institutions.
The innovative ATE initiatives established throughout the nation and the free information available to anyone who wants to emulate these model educational programs improve educational practices, students’ opportunities, and ultimately the nation’s prosperity.

I am from Calicut, in Kerala and went to high school there. At that time, Calicut was indeed a small place, and most students used to go to either Madras or Trivandrum for their higher education. I went to Madras (now Chennai), where I got my Bachelor’s degree from Presidency College, and my M.A (Hons.) degree from Madras University in 1956.

A.H. Somjee received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the London School of Economics. He is a charter member of the Simon Fraser University, Canada, where he is also an Emeritus Professor of Political Science. He has taught at the University of Baroda, the London School of Economics, University of Durham, and the National University of Singapore. He was also appointed as an Associate Fellow at the Queen Elizabeth House, Oxford University, and was invited to Harvard University, several times, as a Visiting Scholar.
When I was a faculty member of the M.S. University of Baroda (now Vadodara), from 1956 to 1964, I had heard the name of Dr. V. Kurien from various colleagues and people in surrounding villages.
The man in charge of AMUL did seem to me to be worth meeting in Anand, which was then a small town, less than 30 miles from Baroda. I worked with my students in surrounding villages, one of which is Boriavi, hardly a few kilometres from Anand, but still I could not meet him, despite my great desire to do so.
In 1964, I left India to teach in Durham University in Britain, and in 1965, I joined Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. In Vancouver, I was very keen to find out how the villages of free India were shaping up. In 1968-69, I got an official opportunity to travel to India. I selected Anand for my study and landed there.

At the time of India’s Independence, my father, J. M. Massey, was in the Royal Indian Air Force, stationed at Lahore.
He opted to join India and the Indian Air Force, and we moved to Delhi. In 1948, he did some highly sensitive intelligence work, whose nature I cannot reveal.
Some time after Independence, my father had to call on the Prime Minister in New Delhi to discuss a sensitive intelligence matter. The appointment was fixed for the evening at the PM's residence.

T.S. Nagarajan
T.S. Nagarajan (b.1932) is a noted photojournalist whose works have been exhibited and published widely in India and abroad. After a stint with the Government of India as Director of the Photo Division in the Ministry of Information, for well over a decade Nagarajan devoted his life to photographing interiors of century-old homes in India, a self-funded project. This foray into what constitutes the Indianness of homes is, perhaps, his major work as a photojournalist.
I have no ancestral home. I never had one. My forefathers belonged to a village called Tambarahalli, in the ashtagram cluster of villages in the Kolar district of Karnataka.
My grandfather moved home from there at some stage to another ashtagram village with the very impressive name Devarayasamudram, which literally meant ‘an ocean called Devaraya’ or ‘Devaraya’s ocean’. It is in fact a dry, land-locked village with no ocean in sight anywhere near. The seashore is as far as Chennai, some 300 km away. But it has a rain-fed lake, the main sources of water for the farmers. It was in Devarayasamudram that my father was born. It is also the place where he built a house, which he had to sell later to raise funds for my eldest sister’s wedding. The house still stands there in a modified form. Devarayasamudram is in fact my ancestral village.
If the “home is where heart is”, then Mysore is my hometown, where I spent most of my formative years. The family lived in the city in two rented properties. The first was a small house located in a lane across the famous “
Hundred Feet Road
”. I don't know how the road acquired the name. My friends and I had measured it once\; it was only sixty feet wide at that time. May be taking into account the two foot paths, it might make it close to a hundred feet. However, I class this road with its grand old trees on either side as among the city's best avenues.
The family lived in this house during my school years. My father was posted as the doctor in charge of the government dispensary at Nazarbad, a locality close to the Chamundi hill, the last posting in his service. He used to peddle all the way on his bicycle for work. The house was too small to hold our enlarged family. There were two small portions partitioned by wooden screens, one on the ground floor and the other on the first, which served as living rooms. A staircase connected the two floors. I used to sit on one of its steps facing a tiny window and read my schoolbooks. The house was not witness to any major family events in the years we lived in it. The only bizarre incident I remember about the house is how a crafty ‘guru’ managed to convince my pious mother about his spiritual attainments, and spent a few days living with us performing elaborate rituals promising good luck to the family.
The guru was an attractive personality. He looked quite spectacular in his flowing saffron robes. When he propounded some philosophical truth in his deep voice, the ladies would melt and sigh. One day, while the pujas continued, it was discovered that a gold ornament with which the deity had been bedecked, was missing. This resulted in much commotion with the guru assuring everyone that he would get it back using his occult powers. While my mother and others were more than convinced with his assurance, somehow, some of us suspected foul play. The following day, when the guru was busy with the rituals, I went upstairs to the living room, where the guru used to sleep and conducted a quiet search of his personal effects. Lo and behold! I found the ornament.
After the puja and the elaborate lunch that followed, I quietly shared the news of my discovery with my mother. I don't know what she did thereafter\; the old fox had stealthily bolted away by the time we returned home in the evening. Not many knew what had happened. My father, generally given to loud outbursts in situations such as this, had not uttered a word. My mother was not in the least fazed by the incident. To curious queries, she had an evasive answer: “Who knows what happens in the minds of gurus.” Thereafter, all was quiet and life went on as usual. Looking back now, I admire the way my mother, a great diplomat, handled the case.
When my father retired from service, my brother Satyan and I persuaded the parents to shift to a bigger house, which we had found in Saraswatipuram, the new extension that was coming up in the city. The monthly rent for the house was fifty rupees. It belonged to a doctor who had a clinic in the city. The house stood just behind the Law courts. One had to cross a railway line at the back of the Courts to reach our home. This meter-gage railway line connected the city with Nanjangud, the temple town, better known for the famous tooth powder produced there by a well-known Ayurvedic Pandit. The Nanjangud tooth powder, pink in colour, tasted nice and was the thing used in almost all the households in the city including ours. Most of us remained stuck with the pink powder and didn't promote ourselves from the powder to the paste until we finished college and found jobs.
We had christened the train to Nanjangud as “Tooth Powder Express”. It was indeed a slow passenger shuttling between the city and the temple town, taking almost an hour and a half to cover a mere 15 miles. There was even time to jump on and off the train as it chugged along at a slow pace. There was a tiny station behind our house, the first halt for the train. We could hear the engine driver pull the little handle after letting out a smoky hoot and the train would start moving reluctantly towards its next halt, which was not far away. Life at home always echoed with the chugs and hoots of the Tooth Powder Express.
Though the new house was no sprawling colonial bungalow, it was exciting for all of us to start life in it, which was a little more spacious than the previous one, with a compound and a wicket gate facing the road. Since the building stood in the middle of a big plot of land, there was much vacant space around it for children to play. It was a simple box-like structure with small windows, a sit-out in front covered by a wooden lattice. In addition to a large hall, there were three small living rooms. From the hall, one could go to the kitchen, the god’s room and a fairly spacious bathroom. The toilet was located outside the house in the backyard, as was the custom in those days. There was also space in the backyard paved with granite to do the washing etc. There were two lofts\; one above the god’s room for storing things not needed everyday and the other in the bathroom to stack pieces of jungle wood used for heating the water in a huge copper container. Both the lofts always remained full to the brim. The house had no name, just a number: 2898. My brother Satyan named it as “Star Home” and hung a tiny nameplate on the wall in front\; but the name didn't click, perhaps because it sounded slightly unorthodox. Everyone started referring to the house as just “2898”.
After his retirement, my father spent most of his time at home. Though he had a benign and loose control on things and he never interfered with our activities, his continued presence at home made us feel that a mobile surveillance camera was keeping an eye on us. My sisters, four of them, had a better deal. Until they were married and left home, the parents, especially my mother, treated them like princesses. I must admit that at a later stage when the family enlarged further and the daughters-in-law arrived, some of the sisters were obliged to share the housework with them. My mother was keen that girls who came into the family shouldn't feel that they are treated differently from the daughters.
I guess that ours was the largest family living under one roof in the neighbourhood. We were used to incredulous exclamations about the size of our family from schoolmates and others but we prided ourselves on both our numbers and our closeness. My mother too did likewise but feared within herself that someone with an evil eye may inflict harm on the family. This is why perhaps in conversations with visitors she would cleverly ignore mentioning the exact number of children (fifteen at one stage) she was blessed with. I have even heard her mention a wrong number (say eight or nine), and quietly let loose a lie that the first two sons were those of my father's first wife.
But she was keen that the family should be well represented at weddings and other functions. To do this safely, she had devised a method of her own. She would go with three or four children, attend the wedding ceremony in the morning, and name a second batch to attend the reception in the evening. At no time I heard my mother lament on the unforeseen predicament of bringing up a large family.
Next to my mother, who largely spent her time sitting in the hall, directing activities and dealing with visitors, my grandmother was the most important elder in the family. We called her “ammamma”, meaning mother's mother. Since my mother was her only daughter, she had decided to stay with us after her husband died. Like most grandmas, she was a remarkable person.
The Kitchen was in fact my grandmother's territory. Getting the lunch ready was her portfolio. At dawn she would enter the kitchen, fresh from her bath, wearing a beige coloured sari (washed and dried by her the previous day) and anoint her forehead with gray stripes of vibhooti (sacred ash), light a lamp and drink a little water from a tumbler with a sprig of tulsi leaves in it.
She was a very meticulous cook. She would use only stone vessels called kachittis for preparing most of the dishes. Rice was cooked in a big brass vessel smeared with ash on the outer surface to enable easy cleaning of the black soot that would be deposited on it during cooking on an old-fashioned earthen oven using firewood. There was a stone pestle and mortar to grind fresh spices for curries. Her kitchen always tempted us with its enticing mixture of smells.
She observed all the traditional customs and regulations prescribed for a Brahmin widow. In the past, a widow was not allowed to remarry. She had to shave her head, wear a simple beige-coloured sari (specially woven for widows to wear using natural banana fibre), and cover the top of her head with the pallu of her sari. She was also to give up putting a bindi on her forehead. Basically, widows had to lead a very austere life with little joy. Mercifully, all these practices have gradually fallen by the wayside over the last hundred years.
I was very close to my grandmother. Her attire and the shaven head didn't appear odd to me. She looked like all other grandmas. She always made it a point to save for me a small portion of her evening palaharam, which was always some simple tiffin not made of rice. I used to wait for this tasty bite every evening. She slept at night on a simple mattress at one end of the hall. Before I went to sleep, it was my practice to lie down next to her for a while sharing her thin pillow. She would tell me little stories while she kept her fingers busy stroking my bushy hair to remove any sand or dirt that I may have acquired while playing in the open.
I must mention about a special assignment I had to do for my grandmother almost every month, about which she felt very embarrassed. A barber had to come home to tonsure her head. The job had to be done in the darkness before dawn, giving her enough time to have her bath and get ready before the house woke up. She would tell me in advance about the auspicious day on which this had to be done and definitely remind me the night before while she stroked my hair for sand before I went to sleep.
I would get up very early on that day, ahead of my father who was the first to wake up. I would open the door and quietly vanish into the darkness riding my father's bicycle towards the barber's home, some distance away\; and peddle back accompanied by the barber with his tool kit. I had devised this arrangement to make sure that the barber arrived on time without fail and completed the job. Over the years, the barber and I had become good friends and, as a result, this special job had almost become a routine. Apart from me, perhaps only a few had seen my grandmother sitting on a wooden plank facing the barber in the backyard next to the water tap. I suspect they deliberately avoided any discussion on it.
I was aware that my grandmother was deeply grateful to me for doing this delicate job without any murmur. This had certainly built a special chord of affection and love between the two of us. I am very clear in my mind that I was closer to her than to my mother and remained so till she breathed her last with her head on my lap at a ripe old age.
After the grandmother's passing away, 2898 was not the same. Soon I got a job and left for Delhi. The sisters got married and moved away. My father died suddenly of a massive stroke. Some of the brothers too found new homes for themselves and shifted out with their wives. The house no longer bustled with activity or ring with happy sounds. My mother, old and weak, continued her life in the house with Ramu, one of my younger brothers, and his wife Vishalam, looking after her with much love and dedication in the twilight years of her life. Over the years, the house too suffered from old age and steadily deteriorated with Ramu finding it difficult to continue living there with his family and the aged mother. He soon built a house for himself and moved away, the last bird to fly away from a nest which meant a lot more than a mere home for all of us, especially for me since it was there, as an young man, I experienced visions of my cherished goals and dreamt my life's dreams.

I'm not sure whether they migrated from Thanjavur but, it appears, that they are Iyers, who belonged to what is present-day Tamilnadu.

Thanks Mr. Nagarajan. It was your brother's name which inspired my father to change my name from SATYENDRAN TO SATYEN.

Mr Nagarajan, I hail from Yeallagondahalli, another astagram. Your write up reminds me of my earlier days in Mysore as I'm familiar with the area and used to visit this with late father vedabrahma Parameshwara iyer from KGF. We had the stone ware vessels in our house too, which we used to call Kalchatti (Literally stone pot in Tamil).

Big solar targets rural communities in Washington State
By Bonner Cohen, Ph. D.
Al Gore once famously said that addressing the “climate crisis” would require a “wrenching transformation of society.”
He was right. Wrenching it will be.
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is in full swing under the Biden administration. Oil, gas, and coal are out; wind and solar are in. People will notice the difference, and many are not going to like what they see.
Klickitat County lies in south central Washington along the border with Oregon. The county’s 22,500 residents inhabit a rural area of lush farmlands offering a spectacular view of the majestic Cascade Mountains to the west. But an invader is determined to turn this world upside down, and that invader is Big Solar.
With taxpayer subsidies, Wall Street money, and government mandates behind it, Big Solar, like Big Wind, is a force to be reckoned with. And that’s exactly what Klickitat residents are finding out.
The invaders are three out-of-state utilities – Invenergy, Cypress Creek Renewables, and NextEra – that have joined forces with Avangrid subsidiary Iberdola of Spain. Together, they want to develop the state’s largest solar farm yet — known as Lund Hill — with 1.8 million large solar panels on 6,000 acres of prime farmland, all surrounded by an eight-foot-high fence.
Solar panels have a life expectancy of 20 to 30 years. They are notoriously difficult to recycle, because the cost of recovering the materials outweighs the cost of extracting what can be recycled. As a result, most end up being dumped in landfills or shipped off to developing countries. The dead panels are laden with toxic chemicals that can leech into groundwater if landfills are not properly lined. By 2050, the world will have to deal with nearly 80 million tons of solar waste. An even greater risk is posed by batteries used to generate power when the sun isn’t shining such as at night. These batteries are also loaded with toxic chemicals, and when the batteries die and must be disposed of, the chemicals inside them can also contaminate soil and groundwater. What is being billed as “clean” energy has the potential to create a new class of hazardous waste sites.
Threat of Wildfires
Another subject advocates of renewable energy are reluctant to address honestly is the threat these industrial-scale facilities pose of igniting or spreading wildfires.
This is not just a hypothetical threat.
In June 2019, a bird flew into two wires at a California solar farm, creating an electrical circuit and a shower of sparks. The resulting fire scorched 1,127 acres, adding to California’s perennial wildfire woes.
Klickitat County has already had its first wildfire courtesy of renewable energy. The county already has over 600 wind turbines, and in 2019 one of them caused the Juniper fire, which destroyed 500 acres. As noted by a local group, Citizens Educated About Solar Energy (C.E.A.S.E.), county officials are eagerly pushing for more giant solar facilities but have steadfastly refused to update ordinances so as to protect residents from wildfires caused by solar arrays. Klickitat’s dry, windy climate makes for an ideal setting for wildfires. The more high-voltage solar farms there are in the county, the higher the risk of potentially catastrophic blazes.
Political Muscle Behind Big Solar
In addition to county officials, who appear more interested in the solar industry’s tax revenues than they are in safeguarding landowners from wildfires, Gov. Jay Inslee (D) is eager to ram green energy down the throats of as many rural Washingtonians as he can.
C.E.A.S.E. reports that Inslee has no solar panels on his home and no solar arrays anywhere near his property. This is the same “do as we say, not as we do” attitude we have seen on display during the pandemic. Public officials mandate the wearing of masks but show up without them in fancy restaurants.
The high and the mighty are perpetrating a gigantic scam on Klickitat County and other parts of the country. Solar and wind power are land-intensive and intermittent and, as such, are a terribly inefficient way to produce electricity. They are favored by the political class, which is oblivious to the harm so-called green energy does to people, wildlife, and the environment.
Bonner Cohen, Ph. D., is a senior policy analyst with CFACT, where he focuses on natural resources, energy, property rights, and geopolitical developments. Articles by Dr. Cohen have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Investor’s Business Daily, The New York Post, The Washington Examiner, The Washington Times, The Hill, The Epoch Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Miami Herald, and dozens of other newspapers around the country. He has been interviewed on Fox News, Fox Business Network, CNN, NBC News, NPR, BBC, BBC Worldwide Television, N24 (German-language news network), and scores of radio stations in the U.S. and Canada. He has testified before the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, and the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee.

D. – summa cum laude – from the University of Munich.

Handel: A Musical Life of Devotion
Written by laclave on January 23, 2018
A great gift to music entered into the world on 23 February 1685 in Halle, Germany. A life of great musical interest; one filled with an unbelievable talent that would become a beacon to many throughout the European continent and span centuries past its lifetime. It is a life that would become centered around a great mystery of how the musical talent would blossom into a recognized and celebrated gift; a life that would alter the musical landscape and the spiritual worship realm in a short 24 days, and a life that would become so influential that it would dictate musical compositions for many years afterwards.
A musical life that in the beginning would find itself struggling to exist; a life that will be forever known in George Frideric Handel. It is through Handel that we credit many great musical accomplishments; accomplishments in the mixture of homophonic and polyphonic textures, through the creation of his own unique works through the process of combining German, Italian, French, and English musical traditions into his highly successful English Oratorios. And most importantly through the lasting effects of Handel’s single greatest gift to the world, and the world of music: The Messiah. But how does the work of this single musician leave such a strong impression on the music that we have today? What could possibly make the music of Handel something that would be hailed as electric, memorable, unique, and even cutting edge? And most importantly how could one person alter the musical idiom through a single twenty-four day creation of a setting of Christ’s life? Through these questions I will explore Handel’s impact on music in a way that shed’s light onto the significance of Handel as a musician, a teacher, and inventor and as a religious preserver. It is with Handel that we credit a great deal of musical advancement.
Adversity in Handel’s life was something that he encountered early on in life. At an early age Handel found himself faced with a father that did not support a career in music, in fact his father was a person that greatly hated music; noting that it was a pastime that served the sole purpose of casting a light on the weakness of character found within a person. It was his father that wished he would strive to obtain a career as a lawyer, a position that would come with a great deal of security in position and financial stability. This was something that Handel himself would have to come to terms with, because he himself was born with “signs of a fierce ambition, born of an awareness of his superiority as a musician, and with a determination to maintain his independence.” This determination to advance his musical skill became a task that took a great deal of hard work and convincing; though it was Handel’s mother that provided access to a clavichord hidden in the family’s attic. The hours spent hiding from his father in the attic, covering the strings of the clavichord with cloth to dampen the sound, allowed young George the time to practice his musical development and eventually the knowledge of how to play both the clavichord and the organ. This early study is most likely what saved the musical career for Handel, because it was during the time stuck in the attic that a young Duke passing by heard young George playing in the attic and was so moved by what he heard, that he stopped to listen. After hearing young George play the organ, the Duke pleaded with George’s father to allow him to travel to Berlin and begin to take music lessons. The young Handel began taking lessons at the age of eight, and was easily able to conquer learning the violin, composition and theory techniques, harpsichord, and reinforce the organ playing skills. By the age of 11, there seemed little that any music teacher could teach George; it was at this point that George’s father began angry and again expressed his desire for George to cease playing in the music, and to return home and do as he wished. Handel at the request of his father did in fact return home, only to arrive at his father’s deathbed. This was a dark period of struggle for the young Handel, compelled to honor his father’s wishes, George decided that it was best to keep to his studies in law; though during this same time he continued to also sharpen the musical skills that he knew he possessed. It was during this time that Handel began to write cantatas for the various churches that he was serving in as an organist. It was the service in music that called out to Handel, and by the time he reached the age of eighteen, Handel had realized that it was in fact his destiny to become a great musician noting that he was destined to improve his musical abilities and his knowledge of music.[…]

how long did the great natchez tornado last
By the 1830s, the wealth and culture from the southern cotton plantations had made Natchez a cosmopolitan town. The storm heavily damaged six other schools, including West Belle School, where an 11-year-old girl was killed by a collapsed wall. It bored into the mansions along West Pine and Lindell boulevards near the New Cathedral. Situations like this give rise to small local outbreaks several times per year. On Oct. 23, 1980, four workers were shot and killed during an early morning robbery at Pope's cafeteria in Des Peres. It is also one of the few tornadoes to have killed more people than it injured: only 109 were injured. The statue was at the corner of Kingshighway and Chouteau Avenue, now site of the Kingshighway interchange with Interstate 64 (U.S. Highway 40). More than 460 homes were destroyed and an additional 800 heavily damaged in the city. They were buried by the collapse the school's large ornamental tower, which fell into the auditorium area. (The modern period is considered to have begun in 1953 because this was the first full year in which the U.S. Although tornadoes can occur at all times of the day, they are most frequent from mid-afternoon to early evening. The William Johnson House at 210 State St. in downtown Natchez is open from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm every day. From the site of the French Fort Rosalie to the antebellum Melrose estate and the home of an African American barber and diarist, Natchez National Historical Park allows visitors to experience the rich history and diversity of Natchez. It was one of the worst tornadoes to ever hit the United States with a death toll of 317. Bevan, who didn't want to impose upon relatives, "My six children are mischievous," he said. (Post-Dispatch), City workers clear debris from Destrehan Street, south of Hyde Park. Several days have had many occurrences, reflecting large regional and national outbreaks. However, the early years of the modern period, with their relatively fewer reports, bias these averages. Here is our original coverage of that event. Toward the end of winter (late February), the centre of tornado activity lies over the central Gulf states. In 1959, another tornado closely followed the 1927 path, killing 21 people. Both Melrose and the Johnson House are closed Thanksgiving Day, December 25, and January 1. Natchez National Historical Park has been documented by the National Park Service’s Historic American Buildings Survey. To their west was a low, black thunderstorm charging to the northeast.

Johnson did succeed, and eventually owned several barbershops around Natchez. Already a subscriber? It was the second deadliest tornado on record in St. Louis, second only to the Great Cyclone of May 27, 1896, which killed 255 on both sides of the Mississippi River. Already a subscriber? Another area of frequent tornado occurrence is found across eastern Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, western Ohio, the southern portions of Wisconsin and Michigan, and the northern part of Kentucky. A tornado that struck St. Louis on Feb. 9, 1959, closely followed the path of the 1927 storm and killed 21. Most dangerous are national outbreaks. Natchez’s prime location along the Mississippi River provided convenient river access for travel and trade and fertile soil for cultivation. These days, the statue is in the western section of the park, near the Forest Park golf course. Natchez National Historical Park preserves historic sites that reveal stories of the diverse peoples who settled in the historic riverbank town of Natchez, the oldest permanent European settlement along the Mississippi River. Tornado occurrences peak in the late afternoon to early evening because there must be sufficient time for the Sun strongly to heat the ground and the surface layer of the atmosphere, thus inducing and sustaining severe thunderstorms. Most occur in the space of one to two hours in the middle to late afternoon. All told, 78 people were killed by the storm in St. Louis and in Madison County. The distribution of tornadoes in any one year thus reflects the weather patterns—especially the tracks followed by the synoptic-scale low-pressure centres—prevailing in that year. (Post-Dispatch), Storm victims carry clothing they received from a Red Cross aid station. In October of 1929, St. Louisan C.L. Natchez Tornado, 1840. Natchez became a place where the wealthy white planter elite lived among enslaved African Americans; free “people of color;” immigrants from Ireland, Germany, France, and Italy; and middle class shop-owners and tradesmen. It was the second deadliest tornado on record in St. Louis, second only to the Great Cyclone of May 27, 1896, which killed 255 on both sides of the Mississippi River. In Central High School, 1,750 students tended to their studies.

They uncovered the bodies of five girls, ages 13 to 17, who had taken refuge in a biology lab. As spring advances and gives way to summer, the centre of tornado activity gradually shifts westward and then northward. Some historic sites near Natchez appear in the National Park Service’s Indian Mounds of Mississippi Travel Itinerary. Among them was O.W. However, most Florida tornadoes are very weak and affect extremely small areas. Tornadoes are less common during the winter because air-mass boundaries are not as likely to be characterized by the strong temperature and moisture contrasts required to fuel powerful thunderstorms.Data source: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admininstration. The Great Natchez tornado was never rated. By signing up for this email, you are agreeing to news, offers, and information from Encyclopaedia Britannica. Over the next decade, Johnson had great success in his businesses and in his growing family; unfortunately, his life came to a sudden end with his murder over a boundary dispute in 1851. From 1916 through 1998, about 45,000 tornadoes were documented in the United States. It is the second deadliest single tornado in United States history, killing 317 people (the only tornado in the United States to have killed more people was the Tri-State Tornado). Regional factors must also be taken into account. Melrose exemplifies the lifestyle of the wealthy at the height of Southern prosperity during the “Cotton Kingdom” years. Texas has the most reported tornadoes each year, about 125 on average for the years 1953–91; Florida, with almost 10 tornadoes per 10,000 square miles per year, has the most per area. Central High later was moved to Natural Bridge and Garrison avenues. Firefighters worked through the night and didn't find the last body until 26 hours after the tornado struck. After 1953, the beginning of the “modern period” of tornado documentation, the number of reports rose to more than 800 per year. The centre of activity then moves eastward to the southeastern Atlantic states, with tornado frequency peaking there in April. In 1841, McMurran purchased 133 acres of land just outside of Natchez to construct his luxurious home, Melrose. Violent tornado occurrences peak an hour later, between 6:00 and 7:00 pm.

In barely five minutes, it killed 78 people and seriously injured an additional 550 along a seven-mile path. It moves across the southern Plains in May and June and then into the northern Plains and the Great Lakes states by early summer.

As spring progresses, the days grow longer and more solar energy is intercepted. Jenifer (not verified) - 27 Jul 2009 - 16:19. Map of the average annual frequency of tornadoes in the United States, showing the range of “Tornado Alley” from Texas through Nebraska. These higher numbers are credited to additional improvements in tornado reporting. Grigg introduced his new soft drink to the world. The region of maximum tornado frequency, rightfully called Tornado Alley, extends from west Texas northeast through the western and central portions of Oklahoma and Kansas and across most of Nebraska.

You can press ESC to go back or click close.
The broad scientific goal of the LMT is to contribute to improvements in our detailed understanding of the formation and evolution of structure, throughout the universe, during its entire history.
The LMT is a major new astronomical facility, operating at short millimeter-wavelengths (1.1mm – 4mm) with good efficiency and capable of observations at 0.8mm under the best observing conditions. The LMT takes advantage of the combination of a primary aperture with a significant collecting area, offering high mapping-speeds and moderate angular resolutions (6 – 20 arcsecs), and the construction of the telescope on a high-altitude site (4600 meters). The completion of the installation of the 50-m diameter primary reflecting surface (in 2018), makes the LMT the world´s largest single-dish telescope designed specifically for astronomical observations at short millimeter wavelengths.
The broad scientific goal of the LMT is to contribute to improvements in our detailed understanding of the formation and evolution of structure, throughout the universe, during its entire history. More specifically, the LMT will:
Map the anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation, thus illuminating the nature, geometry and energy content of the universe;
Detect hundreds of thousands of dust-obscured optically-faint galaxies during their major episodes of formation in the early universe to understand the origin and evolution of structure on the largest cosmological scales;
Penetrate the dust, with millimeter-wavelength observations, that normally obscures the process of star formation in galaxies to define the full history of star formation over cosmic timescales;
Study the variability and environments of active galactic nuclei to probe the central regions of these galaxies and the relationship between the accretion of material onto supermassive blackholes and the fueling of the star formation activity in their host galaxies;
Observe sources exhibiting gamma-ray bursts to improve our knowledge of the finals stages of stellar evolution, and the origin of the heaviest chemical elements dispersed into the interstellar medium;
Provide new insights into the nature and distribution of the interstellar gas and cold dust from which stars form in local & distant galaxies;
Conduct millimeter-wavelength observations using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) to test predictions on the physical properties (mass, spin, relativistic effects) of supermassive black holes at the centers of nearby galaxies (including the Milky Way);
Survey large samples of gaseous and dust-rich circumstellar disks around nearby young stars to identify potential protoplanetary systems;
Search for complex molecules in planetary atmospheres, interplanetary space and the interstellar medium, and conduct the first comprehensive millimeter-wavelength surveys of small solar-system objects (including Near-Earth objects, Main-belt asteroids, Centaurs and Kuiper-belt objects);
Analyse the chemical and physical composition of comets which contain the primordial material from which the solar system was formed.
A joint project of the Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica and the University of Massachusetts.
The LMT is included in CONACYT's National Laboratories network.

Only Palestinians can create a new Palestine : The UN vote on Palestinian statehood has accelerated the drive for self-empowerment and economic independence
Tareq Baconi
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/sep/15/palestine-un-vote-statehood
The flurry of activity around the coming UN vote on Palestinian statehood suggests this is a key moment in the struggle for self-determination. While that might be the case, it is not because of the vote itself. Independently of the vote`s outcome, the Palestinian move has already had a positive impact on the ground. It has also transformed the way Palestinians are approaching their struggle by precipitating a drive for self-empowerment in anticipation of this moment.
Once a date was set, Palestinians increasingly came to view growth and development as prerequisites for liberation. A young Palestinian refugee in the Lebanese Mar Elias camp echoed the views of many by stating that one cannot be expected to enter a strategic battle for liberation from a weak base. Preparation for the September `battle` manifested itself among Palestinians in an effort for self-enhancement.
This effort has been most tangible in the West Bank. For prime minister Salam Fayyad, an economically developed West Bank that alleviated the poverty of Palestinians under occupation was the essence of self-development. Fayyadism, premised on economically strengthening the Palestinians and reducing dependence on Israel so as to create a base from which a future state could grow, has done well despite debates over sustainability due to dependence on aid and the economic recession. The West Bank has drawn a significant amount of investment over the past few years, with Palestinian and international investors engaging in large-scale infrastructure projects despite the occupation.
In parallel with Fayyadism, various discussions have revealed that this effort has also been manifested in Hamas. Ideologically opposed to the UN bid, Hamas has nonetheless also focused on governance and growth in Gaza. When asked about their experience ruling the Strip, leading members unhesitatingly point to efforts to create a safer and more developed urban space. Hamas`s brief period in governance-under-blockade has focused on state building and institutional development, effectively growing a government from scratch following the 2007 split.
With arguable success, Hamas has endeavoured to cater to the needs of the civil population and pursued economic independence despite the boycott (the most flagrant example being tunnel trade). While the socially conservative trend in Gaza could be seen to contradict claims of development, in Hamas`s view, it does the opposite. Despite the movement`s leaders denying that they are engaged in active Islamisation, Hamas`s extensive social infrastructure has been conducive to it. Its efforts in the Gaza Strip have supported what Hamas views as a development path.
Hamas`s view on Islamisation is potentially tinged by the legacy of the 1970s and 1980s Muslim Brotherhood ideal of `Islamisation before liberation`. This favoured strengthening the Islamic social fabric at the expense of resistance until such point that the Palestinians could ensure victory. Hamas broke from this by advocating for resistance alongside Islamisation. Nonetheless, the call for Islamisation endured. To Hamas, a moral Islamic population is viewed in much the same way that Fayyadism views economic development: as means to liberation.
This logic of self-empowerment has even cropped up in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. Grassroots organisations focused on enhancing the livelihood of Palestinians in the diaspora are being founded by entrepreneurs looking to create change independently of the bureaucracies of Palestinian institutions. Their mission has expanded beyond mitigating the discriminatory policies of host states. Founders of one such movement explained to me that they are now focused on enabling the camps to execute a development agenda including health and education, to alleviate suffering there.
All three examples share a common theme: an internal effort at self-development until liberation can be achieved. There are sceptics of this approach. Some argue that no development should take place within the framework of the occupation, as that facilitates it and acquiesces in its existence. The intent to declare statehood is also opposed by those who support a one-state solution or the full liberation of historic Palestine.
Despite this, September 2011 became an end date which has successfully provided an impetus for development. It has fed and sustained a drive among Palestinians to improve their situation. It has also reiterated to the Palestinians a lesson they are familiar with: self-determination can only be the product of internal struggle and cannot be bestowed externally.
This lesson has enabled the Palestinians to make a choice. They have chosen a unilateral path for self-determination over a path of multilateral talks. Negotiations have not been dismissed, yet they have been demoted to a supplementary role. This is a fundamental shift in the dynamics of the struggle, and one that has been unfolding over several years.
Last-minute efforts are unlikely to convince Palestinians of the value of the old dynamic of bilateral or multilateral negotiations. In a tumultuous environment led by people calling for equality, sovereignty and human rights, this choice has been given further credibility. The UN vote merely determines what form the execution of this choice takes.

Rare Buddha statue to show in UK
The rare copper figure is thought to be 1,300 years old
A rare Buddha statue has been jointly acquired by two British museums and will be the first of its kind to be displayed in a European collection.
The British and Victoria and Albert museums acted together to bring the 7th Century metal Indian artwork to the UK.
It will be on display in the British Museum for three months before touring the UK after being exhibited at London's Victoria and Albert.
The Sakyamuni was bought with £850,000 of funds from a variety of sources.
After its tour of Birmingham, Bradford and Leicester, the 14-inch (35-cm) sculpture will be shown on permanent rotation between the V&A and British Museum.
'Rare and beautiful'
Mark Jones, director of the V&A, called the acquisition a "rare and beautiful" object. "It will add immeasurably to our collections," he said.
Neil MacGregor, director of the British Museum, said he was "delighted" the two museums pooled their resources to purchase the sculpture for the nation.
"We will show it in a new way which means it will be seen by people this year across the length and breadth of the country," added Mr MacGregor.
The Buddha is depicted in the style of the Gupta period, which makes it some 1,300 years old.
It is golden in tone and shows the figure with its right hand raised in a gesture of benevolence.
The statue will be the subject of this year's Anthony Gardner lecture at the V&A, which takes place on 27 April.

Alex Lifeson Makes a Guest Appearance on Big Sugar's New Album Eternity Now
Alex Lifeson is keeping busy during his so-called retirement. He recently lent his guitar skills to the title track of Big Sugar's new album Eternity Now . Big Sugar's Gordie Johnson talks about obtaining Alex's services: I put the record on the other day and I thought I made a mistake. It sounded like I’d grabbed a Rush record from 1988. GJ: [Laughs] Make no mistake, my friend. That was not an accident! [Rush guitarist] Alex Lifeson is on the title track. He’s on the title track of my life and career trajectory. He was one of the first supporters of Big Sugar and one of the greatest mentors that I’ve had. And he’s such a down-to-earth chill guy. He saw us coming up, liked our music, and would do things like “Hey, man, here’s a double-neck guitar. Why don’t you take the Xanadu guitar and use it for a while?” Like, who does that? So I texted him and I had to explain myself because it’s such a Rush knock-off. I got the Taurus Moog pedals in there and gave it the full

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Appear in Upcoming Gordon Lightfoot Documentary
Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Sarah McLachlan, and Alec Baldwin appear in If You Could Read My Mind , an upcoming documentary on Gordon Lightfoot, which will be streaming on-demand this summer. Directed by Martha Kehoe and Joan Tosoni, the film chronicles present-day Lightfoot performing a show and signing autographs as he fondly looks back on his nearly six-decade career — from his coffeehouse performance days in Ontario, Canada, to his rise to international fame in the Seventies. “He is one of the greatest examples of timeless singer-songwriter,” Lee says in the clip, sitting alongside his bandmate Alex Lifeson. “He’s a Canadian national hero, but he also speaks with a voice for everyone,” adds Bad Religion’s Greg Graffin. You can view a clip of the documentary which includes Geddy and Alex's appearance below: For more information on the documentary, click HERE .

NYFOS Records
NYFOS@Juilliard: Day 3
Written by Steven Blier
Artistic Director, NYFOS
Blier's Blog
Today I invited my friend Jack Viertel to come watch some of our rehearsal. Jack comes from the highest reaches of the theater world. He’s written a masterful book called The Secret Life of the Broadway Musical (a must-read for anyone who loves American musical theater); he is the Artistic Director of the Encores! Series at City Center; he is Senior Vice-President at Jujamcyn Theaters; and he’s taught at NYU. It would seem a bit scary to invite such a person to give notes to the cast, especially after only a few days of rehearsal. But Jack is one of the greatest mensches in the business—indeed, in our entire city. And he’s a close friend—hell, he was the toastmaster at my wedding. I kept anxiety at bay.
Jack has a deep appreciation of music, and is an avid listener to many genres, especially folk and blues. But he’s not a voice-fancier. A slightly overweighted chest voice or a wide-open F-natural won’t bother him. Anyway, my cast gets plenty of that kind of scrutiny during the semester. Jack was there to look more broadly at the songs, their structure, their meaning, their style—and to help us realize them.
I was afraid he might find my classically trained cast a bit naïve in their approach to acting. I mean, they’re studying to be opera singers, a genus not known for Thespian skill. I need not have feared. Jack Viertel, a Broadway baby, embraced them all as one of his own. He focused instead on specific moments in the songs, transitions that needed delineation. For Jack Kay, in “Sailor’s Tango,” it was where he sings the line “And that’s where they die.” Weill didn’t leave much space around it—the song rushes forward without a pause. But Jack V. said, “It’s a huge arrival point. Somehow you have to underline it, acknowledge it, and then move on.” He went on, charmingly, “Now, I don’t know how you’re going to do that, and that’s why I am not a director. But you have to end the chapter there. Maybe Steve and Mary can help.” (We can.)
The “Bilbao-Song” from Weill’s Happy End has been a little difficult for the cast to understand. And it’s been hard for me to explain it—I’ve played it so many times I feel as if I am explaining my own skin to them. Jack was able to put it in context for them by talking about a jazz club he used to go to in Chicago. It was much like bar described in the song: it had great music, a clientele of regulars, seedy surroundings, and the occasional shootout in the middle of the evening. We listened to Jack evoke that club, watched his face light up, and grooved on his language—that irresistible combination of sophisticated and salty, hundred-dollar words next to a series of F-bombs. After he talked to us, we were suddenly much farther on the road to “Bilbao.”
Perhaps the most precious moment was when Jaylyn, our youngest performer, sang “The Song of Indifference.” I’d taken a flying leap when I gave her the piece, since I’ve mostly heard it done by women several decades older. Jaylyn and I have spent a lot of time talking about it, feeling it together, filling in the details, looking for the right key (it is pretty rangy). When she got done today, Jack was bowled over. “Oh wow, that is a great, great song. And…wow, I just loved what you did. I have no notes!”
The rest of the day we continued to work through the show—we’re getting towards the end, which is a mitzvah. There were several eye-opening discussions about the interpretation of certain details, particularly a couplet in the Eisler/Brecht song “There’s Nothing Quite Like Money”: “For a girl’s knee only sags/At the sight of money-bags.” We eventually reached a consensus (I think) after I blurted out something (unprintable) that I probably have thought for forty years without realizing it. I instantly felt a little exposed for having such a louche interpretation, until Nikolay spoke up in his Russian-tinged English: “Oh, I definitely thought that’s what it meant.”
As Sondheim once wrote, “No one is alone.” Thank God.

Not-Necessarily-Boy Scouts
The Boy Scouts have an opportunity, if they can seize it.
By Thomas Anderson | October 19, 2017
For a very long time – decades – the Girl Scouts have been an organization that has pushed a lefty agenda. The women’s movement, all those members of the "sisterhood," tried to be certain that their viewpoint has been the one that guides the malleable minds of all young girls in their formative years.
The proponents of the "women’s movement" are schooled in the methods put forth by radical leftists to promote their philosophy. Saul Alinsky, author of the activist handbook Rules For Radicals, was the guru of the radical leftists of the 70s. He was the subject of Hillary Clinton’s thesis in college, and inspired many of the violent acts of the time. The women’s movement runs the Girl Scouts in a crypto-middle-of-the-road fashion, concealing their brainwashing efforts as much as possible.
This has all become part of the position that the Girl Scouts has held on issues having to do with the whole litany of liberal social causes that lefty women’s organizations consider their own. These are Planned Parenthood, the National Organization for Women (NOW), abortion, and many others. These issues have no business in the lives of Brownie Scouts, but are considered de rigueur by women’s organizations. This is their central point and their means of recruitment
It came to our attention recently that the Boy Scouts, nationally, has affirmed a policy to begin allowing girls to join their organization. There have been several press releases and other tidbits of information which have used the usual generalities as reasons for the recent position that the Boy Scouts has decided to take.
But the Boy Scouts may be attempting to provide young girls with an alternative to all the far-lefty feminist bias. Alas, the Boy Scouts themselves have become a much more "nuanced" organization, and now have made provisions to accommodate many of the aberrations that have become socially acceptable – transgender, homosexuality, etc.
These are often cast as political issues, but really they are social issues. It’s hard to imagine, but perfectly consistent, to be a transgender, post-op Republican - Caitlyn/Bruce Jenner is one of those.
There are signs that the leftist hold that has been maintained on the training of so many of our young people is beginning to crack. The change to allow admission of young girls into the Cub Scouts may be a sign that the decades-long effort to corrupt future women is coming to an end. The Boy Scouts may offer an alternative to the left-liberal doctrinaires of the Girl Scouts; let’s hope that's so, and that it works.
Perespectives of the Past
This writer is an Eagle Scout who achieved that position just before his 14th birthday, which conferred upon him the status of the youngest Boy Scout to be accorded that rank in Memphis, Tennessee as of August 1959. He also obtained a God and Country Award the same year; the Order of the Arrow followed the next year. These are the triumvirate of the apex of achievement in that organization: he was a busy boy!
The point could be made that this writer's viewpoint is a result of conservative brainwashing during the 1950s. The retort would be that it was because of a nationally held opinion that the outlook he holds is one that provides the best results and is consistent with the inclusive philosophy of America's founding documents.
What's more, many of the tenets that he held back then were subject to change as the times revealed better ways – racial relations, for instance. America is better off today compared to the 1950s, for consigning Jim Crow to the dustbin of history where it belongs. There is no requirement in conservatism for intolerance of people – only for ideas that fail to pass muster.
A recent review of the requirements for rank attainment and a few merit badges indicates that the seat-of-the-pants, leave-it-to-the-scoutmaster method of advancement and merit badge acquisition has been supplanted by a more structured approach. This follows the natural progression of bureaucracy in any organization, and it is not without its benefits.
The Boy Scouts is an organization that is probably much more consistent these days than it was in time of this writer. This is true of nearly every organization that was in existence back in the day.
What we have lost, though, are those days when children were free of adult concerns. At the time that the Eagle badge was pinned upon this author by his scoutmaster, the adult world was a shrouded mystery to which high school was not even an entrée. There may be some children who can handle adult knowledge and decision making, but the vast majority of them are not ready for those relatively straightforward topics. Then add to that already daunting task the subjects of maturation and sex and the dilemma becomes compounded to the point of near insurmountability.
The fact of modern societies is that the door has been flung open to reveal the horrors of adulthood to children much too young to handle the responsibilities that are imposed by this knowledge. Additionally, the standards of society have slipped. There is much more tolerance for deviation from expected norms in today’s world. In fact, expected norms don’t mean very much anymore.
It’s now more about what you can get away with rather than how you adhere to rules and regulations. This attitude extends to the imposition of societies’ morès; gone is the time when clear-cut rules were obeyed.
Most Americans once agreed that our young should not be indoctrinated in any particular viewpoint. The variety of ideas and the selection of concepts to live by is a hallmark of a liberal (in the classic sense) education.
This is for good reason: children are highly susceptible to propaganda. They have not developed the sophistication to reject bad ideas disguised in appealing terms. Their natural task is to absorb all knowledge without regard to its status: true or not, fantastic or mundane. When a trusted adult figure intentionally adds a value judgment to the equation, it guides a young open mind into blind acceptance without regard to the validity of the position.
This was the foundational basis for the Hitler Youth (the writer is a conservative, therefore this is the de rigueur Hitler reference) and stands as the preferred means of indoctrination of the young into "acceptable" behavior. In today’s world, political correctness is the operative term.
The leadership of the Boy Scouts is aware, certainly, that the Girl Scouts have lefty tendencies and goals. Many women leaders flaunt them.
There have been withdrawals of support from the Boy Scouts by major churches in the recent past (the Mormons for one), and the whole scouting movement, both girl and boy, has suffered reduced membership, as much as 25% since 2010 in the Girl Scouts. That organization has turned into a cookie marketing activity with little else to recommend it.
But both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts have become afflicted with political correctness to a degree that was previously unimaginable. Generations of Boy Scouts were far more interested in camping skills like cooking over open fires, hiking through national forests, or observing cedar wax wings or red foxes than in worrying endlessly whether an environmental impact statement was properly filled out. Regardless of their success in recruiting girls into their organization, Boy Scouts face a daunting task in simply maintaining the goals of their organization.
Kids are adaptable, they are ready for just about anything we throw at them. Because they are kids, they do not have the capability that adults do of making the proper selection from a large number of alternatives. And they do not have the philosophical basis for difficult choices.
Kids need standards. These are landmarks to compare themselves to, and a means for knowing that they have made progress. We have an opportunity to offer the next generation a revamped Boy Scouts. The Girl Scouts have made themselves irrelevant, and the opportunity is there to teach both boys and girls who are coming of age a lot of things that they will not learn in school.
Boy Scouting has had a long history of doing that. The Boy Scouts has the potential to recover their status as the molder of men, and can add a new capability of molding women, too - if the leadership is sufficiently determined to make that happen over the screams of offended leftists.
Let’s hope that happens.

A Farewell to Duty
Unholyone said:
Great article. This and all other "social justice" movements are made to indoctrinate the young and the ignorant, which is becoming easier due to the lack of objectivity (truth- teaching facts even though one disagrees) in the educational system.
But what if all the boys joined the Girl Scouts and all the girls joined the Boy Scouts? Or just half and half in each organization? I heard the reason is that the Girl Scouts does not have an Eagle Scout program. Well, isn't easier to start that program in the Girl Scouts?
BTW, I used to buy copious quantities of Girl Scout cookies to support them. I gave them away, as I don't eat cookies. However, since they gave up God and womanhood, I no longer support them, even though I see the young, innocent girls trying to sell them.
John Volk said:
As a big proponent of the Scouting Movement, I can see there is a lot of misunderstanding out there. Full disclosure - I am an Eagle Scout and I have a son who is an Eagle and another who achieved the Life rank. I have served on Troop Committees. I am a Constitutional Liberatian and mostly conservative in outlook.
First, the Girl Scouts do have an Eagle award equivalent. It is called the Gold Star. It is every bit as coveted, lesser known than the Eagle award.
Second, local organizations, such as a Girl Scout troop, have a high degree of autonomy. They are not political cadres. In fact, most leaders are likely to come from the ranks of mostly conservative moms, many of them are "stay-at-home". They are not the "Women's Liberation Army" and they don't burn their bras at troop meetings. The program does encourage self-empowerment and self-reliance, but in a positive sense. There is nothing wrong with that.
The girls I have met who are or were girl scouts tend to be the kind you hope your son might bring home one day. They are high achievers in the classroom and on the athletic fields. The Girl Scout movement roughly parallels the Boy Scout movement in terms of its appeal. It is most popular with girls until they get a driver's licence, discover boys, athletics and the other aspects of high school just boys discover gasoline, perfume and sports. Today's children have many more distractions and increased pressure to mature earlier. Think video games, travel sports, current television programming and advanced academic courses, in and outside the classroom.
The Boy Scouts have been highly adaptive over the years in recognizing societal change. They admitted women as leaders a long time ago. In the younger branch, the Cub Scouts, you met in the home of a Den Mother. In Boy Scouts the leaders were once exclusively male - a 1950's and earlier concept of the role of the two sexes. For some years now, as many households are single parent, women have been admitted as leaders. There is tremendous training available from the National. You don't have to have earned earned the Silver Beaver award to know that. As sports became a major focus for younger and younger boys, the Varsity program was introduced, largely unsuccessful from my viewpoint. It also allowed girls into the Venture program - the successor to Explorers - the program for high schoolers which recognizes the need for more independence, more challenging outdoor activities, the need to teach young men to better respect women as they are often just as capable as men. I would much rather have my son encounter women on a rafting trip than drinking beer and seeing them as sexual objects in someone's basement. The admittance of women into regular troops is a furtherance of that idea. It is also a subliminal way to perhaps "merge" groups with similar values in the face of declining inerest at both the high school level and in general. The Boy Scouts also introduced the concept of "two-deep leadership", with separate training for both youth and adults as a way to deal with the threats or accusations of sexual abuse. Over time the Movement, like society as a whole, has come to better understand the complexities of human sexuality and realized that it is perhaps not as binary, nor necessarily makes one more susceptible to depravity as once (and still is, in some quarters) thought.
I could go on about the Boy Scouts and perhaps do more research on the Girl Scouts. Instead, I call one the author to cite evidence to support his opinions about the Girl Scouts.
PS : I apologize for the several spelling and grammatical mistakes in my comments. Unfortunately, I accidently submitted them before rereading them and there doesn't seem to be a way to edit them.
Also, I earned my Eagle in May 1968 at age 15 when I saw high school football and girls entering my life, although that didn't stop me from being a camp counselor and going canoeing up in Canada. That year was also the first year Scounting required the Community Service project and when I earned the Atomic Energy merit badge - further proof that Scouting adapts, just like no longer requiring one to learn Morse Code ( I still know it - --- -.. .- -.-- (today)!
And I still buy popcorn from boy scouts and cookies from girl scouts, but only if they approach me and give a sales spiel. Both items have the risk of just being exloiative marketing channels, but can teach young people how to interact with unfamiliar adults.

Police tried to keep identity of ‘gay’ jihadi secret to protect his human rights
Home/News, World News/Police tried to keep identity of ‘gay’ jihadi secret to protect his human rights
Police and prosecutors attempted to keep the identity and possible homosexuality of a British jihadist a secret to protect his human rights, it has been reported.
Officers and the Crown Prosecution Service were concerned that should details surrounding Aseel Muthana emerge during a trial of his friends who helped him join Isil it would put his life at risk.
They believed they still had a duty of care under human rights laws to protect the teenager, even though he had run off to join a terror group intent on attacking this country.
The concerns centred on a series of text messages between Muthana, now 19, and Forhad Rahman, 21, who helped pay for him to travel to the war zone in February 2014.
Language in the messages left their “sexuality open to interpretation” after Rahman described Cardiff man Muthana as a “Welsh cutie”.
The pair only met online two months before Muthana left but formed a “profound emotional closeness” and called each other “cutie”, “honey” and “babe” in messages.
With Isil known to murder gay men and women, prosecutors initially discussed the need for reporting restrictions either on Muthana’s name or the details of the messages.
Muthana’s brother Nasser was already in Syria and later appeared in one of Isil’s first propaganda videos in which he encouraged others to join him.
In the end, it could not be ascertained whether Muthana was gay or not and the evidence was not subject to any court order.
But during the preliminary legal argument, a CPS note read: “It is not known what the reaction of ISIS would be if they became of aware of the social media chat that Mr Muthana has entered into with the defendants. It seems unlikely that Mr Muthana would have an opportunity to defend himself in accordance with the standards of this court.”
It said the CPS and police had a “duty” under the Human Rights Act to protect him and that “does not end because Mr Muthana has left the UK or is fighting on behalf of ISIS.”
In a pre-trial briefing, the then assistant chief constable of South Wales Police Nikki Holland, who is now at Merseyside Police, said: “I don’t think it is a case of physically protecting him but he has protection of the law in human rights. He has a right to life. As a police force we protect everyone’s right to life – even a terrorist.
Very good statement from the police, why are they protecting him if homosexual is good. This is what the government has to think about, the judgement of the Lord is coming and no one can protect a human right except the right of God and repentance. (Proverbs 12:21) No harm overtakes the righteous, but the wicked have their fill of trouble. The nation needs to repent and come out from their rights and seek the right of the Holy Spirit.
