__label__cc	0.681168	0.318832	Academy Awards: Success with a Hint of Struggle Photo by @tpsdave of Pixabay. Olivia Janicek Oh the “Oscars”. The evening kicks off with an extravagant pan through the celebrity world of fashion. Shimmering dresses, extra tall heels, and highlighted cheeks are the couture everyone seems to be longing for. Afterwards, a comedic host makes his entrance to greet the stars and the viewers crowded around their television. Then the fun begins. There are musical showcases and carefully cut videos. Jokes and games to go down in Oscar history. 2017 Oscars made quite a show, so here’s a recap of what went well and what…. well…. didn’t. BEST: Jimmy Kimmel- Jimmy Kimmel provided awesome flare for these Oscars. He was comedic, quick-paced, and extremely innovative. Even viewers at home enjoyed the cloud of candy falling from the ceiling into the hands of stars. He never got too political, and kept things simple, lighthearted, and enjoyable for everyone. Unsuspecting Tourists- Something that’s never been in the “Oscars” before, premiered on Sunday night. Average citizens. That’s right, Jimmy Kimmel invited a collection of tourists into the “Oscars” from a city bus. Each one was more astounded than the last. With selfie sticks and extreme excitement, their arrival is something we’ll never forget. “Moana” Performance- Auli’i Cravalho left us all in awe. She was so confident and her voice so impeccable, we all forgot she was only sixteen years old. Even when a stray flag from the dancers nailed her in the face, she stayed professional. She kept singing, and our happiness did too. The “Walmart Receipt” Ads- Now, I know this isn’t technically part of the “Oscars” itself, but it was consistent throughout the program. Walmart decided to pay top dollar for four directors to produce three films based on one Walmart receipt. When they came on, they were really… uneventful. The only one that truly brought a smile to my face was the one by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, which featured a musical mashup of the items on the list. It was cute and creative, but the one ad could not save the program from the failures of the others. The Major Mess Up (obviously!)- Even if you didn’t watch the “Oscars”, you’re probably aware of what happened when La La Land was announced best picture. Basically, the crew was onstage making their speeches when they were interrupted by a frantic speaker quoting that there had been a mistake. Moonlight was the actual winner. The La La Land team, though sorrowful, handled it extremely well. We can all applaud them for that. Who Should've Won Best Picture? "La La Land" "Moonlight", and they did win it!

__label__wiki	0.865311	0.865311	V-3 Gun German gun-launched missile. The V-3 Hochdruckpumpe (aka HDP, 'Fleissiges Lieschen'; 'Tausend Fussler') was a supergun designed by Saar Roechling during World War II. The 140 m long cannon was capable of delivering a 140 kg shell over a 165 km range. Construction began of a bunker for the cannons in September 1943 at Mimoyecques, France. The site was damaged by Allied bombing before it could be put into operation and was finally occupied by the British at the end of August 1944. Two short-length (45 m long) V-3's were built at Antwerp and Luxembourg in support of the Ardennes offensive in December 1944. These were found to be unreliable and only a few shots were fired without known effect. AKA: HDP;Tausend Fussler. Status: Cancelled 1944. Payload: 140 kg (300 lb). The V-3 used Baron von Pirquet's concept of sequentially electrically activated angled side chambers to provide additional acceleration of the shell during its passage up the barrel of the gun. This allowed a muzzle velocity of over 1500 m/s. The projectiles of the smooth bore weapon used fins for stability, as would be the case with the Canadian Martlet series 25 years later. Lyman and Haskell of the US Army had built an unsuccessful prototype of the concept in the 1880's. It was found that the expanding gases of the base charge moved well ahead of the shell and ignited the auxiliary charges before the shell passed them, actually slowing the shell down. But in 1941 an engineer Conders at Saar Roechling proposed the use of electrically-activated charges to eliminate the problem. A 20mm prototype was built at a test site at Misdroy (Miedzyzdroje), Poland and successfully demonstrated in April-May 1943. Hitler was persuaded that this could be a third terror weapon to supplement the V-1 and V-2. Overruling the German military, he ordered fifty of the guns to be built in concrete bunkers in France in order to bombard London. The first installation of five guns was to be built 165 km from London at Mimoyecques, near Calais, under Operation Wiese. The superguns were built at a fixed angle into a 30 m chalk hill, covered by a 5.2 m thick protective concrete dome. Each 140 m long cannon was capable of delivering a 150 mm / 140 kg shell on London. The angled lateral combustion chambers were spaced every 3.65 m along the bore. The modular weapon could have the lateral chamber sections replaced as they wore out (they would burst after only a few firings). Hundreds of slave workers began construction in September 1943 by sinking an initial tunnel 30 m below the hill's surface into the chalk. French Resistance informed the Allies of the new effort almost immediately. Bombing raids to destroy the site began two months later. However the bunker proved impervious to Allied bombs, even 5400 kg Tallboy penetrator weapons. The weapons were nearing completion when, on 6 July 1944, three Tallboys happened to make it though the gun shaft openings. They penetrated 30 m to the first level of the complex and exploded, killing dozens of workers. Work on the complex stopped at this point. The Allies were unaware of this success and searched for new methods to destroy Mimoyecques and other German bunker sites. Under Project Aphrodite (USAAF) and Operation Anvil (USN) radio-controlled, television-guided B-17 or PB4Y (B-24) bombers crammed with ten metric tons of explosives were to be flown by a crew near to the target. The pilot and co-pilot would then bail out while an accompanying aircraft guided the missile to a precision strike. This approach was abandoned in August 1944 after a total lack of success and several crew fatalities (including Joseph P Kennedy, Jr, elder brother of the future president). By the end of August the Germans completely abandoned the complex in the face of the advancing British forces. Two short-length (45 m long) V-3's were built at Antwerp and Luxembourg in support of the Ardennes offensive in December 1944. These were found to be unreliable and only a few shots were fired without known effect. The British dynamited the Mimoyecques complex on 9 May 1945. Maximum range: 165 km (102 mi). Family: Gun-launched. Country: Germany. Agency: Saar Roechling. Bibliography: 461, 693. V-3 Prototype V-3 Installation V-3 Projectile 1941 - . Launch Vehicle: V-3.

Coenders at Saar Roechling proposed the concept of sequentially electrically activated angled side chambers to provide additional acceleration of a shell during its passage up the barrel of the gun. This allowed a muzzle velocity of over 1500 m/s. A 140 m long cannon using this concept would be capable of delivering a 140 kg shell over a 165 km range. Funding is finally obtained to build a subscale prototype. April-May 1943 - . Launch Vehicle: V-3. V-3 tests. - . Nation: Germany. Related Persons: Dornberger, Hitler. The V-3 cannon was tested at Misdroy on Wollin Island (now Miedzyzdroje, Poland). The gun was a 60 m long constant-pressure cannon developed by Coenders of the Roechling firm in Saarbrucken. The gun was laid at a 45 degree angle in the dunes. Aiming was accomplished by arranging wood blocks under the concrete sections. The gun demonstrated a 15 km range with a sabot-launched, arrow-shaped warhead. The tests were conducted under Kammler, who was responsible for all V-weapons. Dornberger had been opposed to the concept, but everyone else was enthusiastic, due to Hitler's support and unending fascination with artillery. September 1943 - . Launch Vehicle: V-3. V-3 in launch bunkers under construction at Mimoyecques, France. - . Nation: Germany. The operational version being built in the chalk cliffs of France used 4 to 5 m long T-shaped sections, assembled to a total length of 150 m, and capable of shooting shells over a 170 km range. However it took a large number of reloaders to put powder in each T-arm after a shot - the planned weapon could only be fired once every five minutes. Furthermore every third shot caused the barrel in one of the T-sections to crack, meaning it had to be removed and replaced. Bunkers in the Pas de Calais were being built for the weapon, but they were subject to incessant bombing and finally overrun by Allied troops before they could be completed. 1944 July 6 - .

__label__wiki	0.634318	0.634318	Return to Free Speech In regard to the lawsuit to prevent a Nazi group from marching in Skokie, Illinois: What I challenge (and not only because of that particular case) is the interpretation of demonstrations and of other actions as so-called “symbolic speech.” When you lose the distinction between action and speech, you lose, eventually, the freedom of both. The Skokie case is a good illustration of that principle. There is no such thing as “symbolic speech.” You do not have the right to parade through the public streets or to obstruct public thoroughfares. You have the right of assembly, yes, on your own property, and on the property of your adherents or your friends. But nobody has the “right” to clog the streets. The streets are only for passage. The hippies, in the 60s, should have been forbidden to lie down on city pavements. (They used to lie down across a street and cause dreadful traffic snarls, in order to display their views, to attract attention, to register a protest.) If they were permitted to do it, the Nazis should be permitted as well. Properly, both should have been forbidden. They may speak, yes. They may not take action at whim on public property.

__label__cc	0.684363	0.315637	Book Note: Puck Askew, Kim, and Amy Helmes. Puck. N.p.: Doublet Press, 2016. Dedicated Bardfilm readers will recognize the names of Kim Askew and Amy Helmes. They wrote Tempestuous and Exposure (for which, q.v.), and also Anyone But You (for which, q.v.). Those three books were published by Merit Press of Simon & Schuster in a series called "Twisted Lit." Puck continues the series, but it appears to be self-published. I don't know if that means Simon & Schuster dropped the series—and, if they did, I don't know whether they dropped it for fiscal reasons or for other reasons. In any case, I'm having the same problem with this book that I had with the others: I'm not the target audience, so I'm having some trouble evaluating it. It doesn't do what I like most—it doesn't ask us to head back to Shakespeare to see what difference it makes. The plot is a modern narrative that provides a focus on Puck and on her backstory. She's been in the foster care system for years, and things seemed to be working out with her latest family, but that all went south. So she has been sent to a camp for troubled youth, but she continues to be mischievous there. There's depth to Puck's development, but she does not really relate to the character in Shakespeare's play beyond plot elements. We're not really finding out about that Puck—we're finding out about this Puck. The emphasis is almost entirely on Puck and her development, but the young lovers from Midsummer Night's Dream make their appearance. They are some of the camp counsellors. Here's Puck's unraveling of their relationships: Later, Puck makes a brew out of some local flowers—the brew is meant to be very dangerous, but it also has hallucinogenic properties. Due to a mix-up, the counsellors drink the brew instead, giving us the usual hijinks: There's also a play-within-the-play at the end. The campers put on a version of Wizard of Oz—with a nice self-reflexive "It's not Shakespeare" remark in the middle. In short, there's some fun here and some depth, but none of it is revelatory of Midsummer Night's Dream—the novel Puck does not ask us to return to Shakespeare.

__label__cc	0.726313	0.273687	CO-MORBIDITIES AND RISK FACTORS practical advice therapeutical options In case of Atrial Fibrillation, there are various options that can help to solve or manage the problem. First of all, your doctor will choose one among two therapeutical strategies; rhythm control or rate control. These treatment strategies should be supported by an anti-thrombotic therapy. A thrombus is a blood clot that can potentially cause a stroke. RHYTHM CONTROL STRATEGY RATE CONTROL STRATEGY ANTI-THROMBOTIC THERAPY The rhythm control strategy aims at bringing the patient's sinus rhythm back to normal. This can be done in two ways: through cardioversion, allowing the interruption of the arrhythmia, or through medical therapies aiming at the prevention of the arrhythmias' recurrences. The cardioversion can be electrical, namely carried out using the procedure of defibrillation, or pharmacological, with the administration of anti-arrhythmic drugs. PREVENTION OF THE ARRHYTHMIA'S RECURRENCES The prevention of the arrhythmias' recurrences can be pharmacological, with the administration of anti-arrhythmic drugs, or non-pharmacological, through an operation called ablation. PHARMACOLOGICAL THERAPY Anti-arrhythmic drugs modify the heart's electrical properties, preventing recurrences of the arrhythmia. More specifically, they act at the cell membrane level, obstructing sodium and/or potassium ion channels. This reduces the electrical impulse, and the cells aren't excitable for a longer time. Today, the most common drugs are amiodarone, flecainide, propaphenone and sotalol. However, these drugs only guarantee a relative effectiveness, as fibrillation recurs in about half of the cases within a year of treatment. Moreover, these drugs can have important side effects and can sometimes be more harmful than useful, thus reducing the potential benefits for the sinus rhythm. For example, they can create more serious arrhythmias than atrial fibrillation, and affect the pumping function of the heart. Amiodarone is the most effective among these drugs, even if the least tolerated: it follows that other drugs are preferred at first, and amiodarone is generally used as the second alternative. DRONEDARONE A new molecule, dronedarone, has recently been discovered; it has proved to be reasonably effective and, above all, easier to tolerate. Compared to treatment with a placebo, a dronedarone-based treatment of paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation significantly reduces the arrhythmias' recurrences, the cardiovascular hospitalization (- 26%), the cardiovascular mortality rate (- 29%) and the risk of stroke (- 34%). NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL THERAPY: ABLATION Ablation is an alternative to anti-arrhythmic drugs: it is an operation that destroys the area of the heart where the arrhythmia begins and thrives, and can be either transcatheter or surgical. In transcatheter ablation, several catheters are inserted into the femoral access, in the groin area, and directed to the heart through the vessels. The catheters reach the right atrium and, after having pricked the septum dividing the two upper chambers of the heart, two of them are pushed into the left atrium, next to the pulmonary veins. At this point, the first catheter maps the electrical impulse from the veins to the atrium, and the second one destroys the area around the veins' opening. In this way, the left atrium is electrically isolated from the pulmonary veins, the main cause of the electrical impulses that generate fibrillation. In some cases - above all in long-lasting and persistent fibrillation - in order to prevent the arrhythmia, it may be necessary to create lesions in other parts of the atria, too. When ablation is surgical, either an operation in which the thoracic cage is opened, or a mini-endoscopic thoracotomy are carried out. Ablation has a success rate of around 70%. The risks of serious complications linked to this procedure are around 3-4%. More about the STOP FA campaign! Watch the Educational Video Insert your email and ALFA patients LET'S JOIN OUR FORCES!

__label__wiki	0.695499	0.695499	Starting XI John Dorton/isiphotos.com U.S. Women's Soccer ASN Exclusive: Christen Press Talks National Team The 25-year-old striker spoke with American Soccer Now about the U.S. women's national team, the rising stars on the squad, and her imminent return to the National Women's Soccer League. BY John D. Halloran Posted CHRISTEN PRESS SPENT most of 2011 and 2012 standing in the shadows of the U.S. women’s national team as the squad went to the World Cup final and won Olympic gold. But the former NCAA scoring leader and Hermann Trophy winner has made a name for herself in Europe and has set her sights on becoming a U.S. regular as the 2015 World Cup approaches. With a friendly against Canada scheduled for Friday (9p.m. Eastern, Fox Sports 1)) American Soccer Now spoke with Press about her national team ambitions, what it’s been like to play abroad and in the Champions League, and her decision to come home to the National Women’s Soccer League in 2014. AMERICAN SOCCER NOW: A lot of fans that followed the team in the 2011 World Cup and the 2012 Olympics might not be that familiar with you. What can you tell us about yourself? CHRISTEN PRESS: I’m a forward. I currently am playing abroad in Sweden [with Tyreso]. It will be my third season there. I play with [fellow U.S. national team players] Whitney Engen and Meghan Klingenberg on a team based in Stockholm. I graduated from Stanford in 2011 and was born and raised in southern California. I enjoy writing and have two sisters that I am very close to. ASN: You’re in camp right now with the national team (preparing for friendlies against Canada and Russia). How’s camp going? PRESS: Camp is going well. It’s a little colder here in Texas than it was in sunny, southern California. Other than that, I can’t complain. ASN: Obviously there is a lot of competition in the U.S. squad right now. Coach Tom Sermanni has brought in 45 different players in his first year in charge. How do you stay positive when you know there’s so much competition for spots on the team? PRESS: Honestly, that’s the best thing about this team. On any sports team, that’s how you continue to push yourself and continue to develop. We always have someone ahead of us to run after and someone behind us to run from, so we’re always moving. It’s a huge honor to play for your national team and it really keeps you humble. ASN: When did you first realize that the national team might be in your future? PRESS: I guess when I started playing for [U.S.] Under-23 team in college. That’s when I started to have my eye on the full national team and started to think about long-term professional career goals. But, after I graduated from Stanford and played my first professional season, I lost sight of that. When I went to Sweden…I sort of left my national team goals behind me. I thought I needed to become the best player I can be and see what happens after that. ASN: I wanted to ask you about how you ended up in Sweden. You’re a senior at Stanford, you score 26 goals to lead the nation in scoring, you win the Hermann Trophy, you have a great rookie season in WPS and then the league folds. How did you feel when you heard the news? PRESS: It was a little scary because I was so new in the professional soccer game. I didn’t know what to do or what to expect. It was scary that I was unemployed and didn’t know what to do. As professional soccer players, it’s a small circle and everyone stays connected. The players that didn’t have any other available place to train all looked abroad. I never thought—"Oh, I’m not playing soccer again,"—I just thought—"How am I going to play, where am I going to play?" We found out in January that the league was no longer going to exist and by the end of the month I had already signed my contract to go to Sweden. There was never a hesitation from me of whether I was going to continue. It was just a question of how and when and where. ASN: How did you decide on Sweden in particular? PRESS: I always say that I didn’t decide on Sweden, Sweden decided on me. I was open to anything. I knew very little about the country, the people, the culture or the soccer there. I went because I knew somebody who knew somebody who knew somebody who put me in touch with the coach. I spoke to him on the phone and I spoke to the general manager and they just seemed like good people. They could speak English and there was another American [Ingrid Wells] on the team. ASN: What has it been like playing abroad? PRESS: It’s been fantastic, I couldn’t say better things about it. The American college soccer environment is one of the most professional and best environments for a female athlete today. When you leave that environment, you don’t know what you’re going to get. Moving abroad was a huge blessing in my life. It was unexpected, but it taught me how to live my life and be an adult and take care of myself. I’m learning a new language and navigating streets with signs in another language and finding my own apartment in a foreign country. ASN: Since you’ve gone to Sweden you’ve taken your game to another level. Is that because of playing in Sweden, is it the coaching? PRESS: It’s hard to say. I think that being exposed to a different brand of soccer in Europe really helped my game. [Europeans] have a different emphasis on moving effectively and being more patient and waiting for plays to develop. When I went to Sweden, it was a refreshing perspective on the game. It really helped me find my joy in soccer that I’d lost trying to make it to the top. ASN: You’re in the Champions League right now with Tyreso. What has that been like? PRESS: This will be my third Champions League season. My first two were with my former team [Goteborg] and it was really different. The expectations weren’t to win it, they were just to see how well we could do. And now with [Tyreso], since the moment I signed, it’s all I’ve heard about from my teammates, the staff, reporters and the fans. It’s such a clear ambition for this team. It’s really cool to have such a big tournament to bring together the best women’s teams in Europe. It’s an incredible opportunity. The Champions League final is one of the most watched games in women’s soccer. We’re really excited about our prospects. We just have to keep our focus on [our next game] and see where it goes from there. ASN: You beat Paris Saint-Germain—one of the favorites—in the first knockout round. How are you feeling about your chances for Tyreso to go all the way? PRESS: When we drew Paris Saint-Germain, it was a big shock for all of us. We’d been talking about making a run at winning the Champions League and then there was this real, potential loss right in front of us. It humbled us. It made us focus on just the next game instead of the whole tournament and it ended up being such a blessing. You can’t take any round for granted. On paper, we have a great opportunity to go the whole way. ASN: You’re coming back to the NWSL this summer. What was the primary motivating factor in deciding to come back? PRESS: When I went abroad I always knew I wanted to play in the United States. It was always something that was important to me. It’s always been in the back of my mind. I can go on and on about how much I love playing abroad, but it was always a stepping stone. [Coming home] was always something I was going to do. A couple of factors played into my decision, the first being the birth of the NWSL and its successful first season. Being a more regular part of the U.S. national team was part of the decision. It’s an advantage for a player to be playing in front of coaching staff. Also, being an hour flight away from [national team] camp, as opposed to 20-hour flight—that’s a big advantage. As we get closer to World Cup qualifying and cuts are going to be made, every little advantage counts. ASN: You’ve had such an amazing run in Sweden the last two years, even outscoring [Brazilian legend] Marta the last two seasons. But when you come into national team camp, things don’t get any easier with Abby Wambach, Sydney Leroux and Alex Morgan. What’s that like when you come into camp and there’s so much competition at your position? PRESS: It’s a blessing. When there are such talented players, there’s an opportunity to grow. They all have very different talents. It allows me to see what my strengths and their strengths are and see how they implement them in the game. All three of them are incredibly effective at using their strengths to change games and it’s something I really admire about all of them. I understand my position on the team and I have ambitions and goals. But fighting for a position with those three and others who come into camp is a great opportunity and I’m very thankful for it. ASN: With Alex Morgan out of this camp, do you see these next few games as an opportunity to show the coaching staff what you can do? PRESS: Tom has done a great job in the last year giving everyone opportunity. Every time I come into camp I feel like I have a shot. Every moment that you’re on the field, I just try to appreciate it and enjoy it and do the best I can. ASN: There’s new faces every camp with Coach Sermanni. Outside of the usual suspects, is there anyone in the camp right now who has impressed you? PRESS: Two of our collegiate players, Crystal [Dunn] and Morgan [Brian], fit right in every time they come to camp. They’re right here at this level and they never miss a beat.

__label__wiki	0.698195	0.698195	Heidegger and the Problem of World William J. Richardson Marilyn Monroe died naked and alone under a rumpled bedsheet with the telephone in her hand. Whom had she been talking to, or trying to reach? We do not know. We do know that earlier in the day she had talked with her analyst, Ralph Greenson. We are told that she tried without success to reach Robert Kennedy, her man of the moment, who, father of a family and attorney general of the United States though he was, had promised, she claimed, to marry her and now was apparently trying to put a distance between them. She had talked with some intimate friends and others like Marlon Brando and Peter Lawford and the son of Joe DiMaggio. They noticed the increasing slur in her speech (but it was nothing new for Marilyn)-the autopsy would show blood levels of ten times the normal dose of phenobarbital and twenty times the normal dose of chlorohydrate. Clearly she was groping for whatever support her circle of people and things could give, but they were not enough. They all belonged to the "world" she knew, and it was this that had collapsed. And so, fired from her last film job as unemployable, with her career on the rocks, repudiated apparently by her last lover, Bobby Kennedy, frustrated forever (it seemed) in her desire to become a mother, addicted to alcohol and drugs, this 36-year-old sex symbol, verging on middle age, survivor of thirteen abortions and six previous suicide attempts, looked upon her "world" in shambles and, intentionally or not, died by an overdose of barbiturates-naked and alone. Why do I write of her? Because she is still very much alive. Gloria Steinem (1986) added one more biography to the forty or so other books that deal with Monroe's life and death. Her image can be found in any poster shop; an exhibition on the history of portraiture in the Sackler Museum at Harvard begins with the earliest recorded death masks of 5,000 years ago but ends with Andy Warhol's tricolor silkscreen of ... Marilyn Monroe. Thus alive, though dead, she offers us a convenient heuristic opportunity to reflect together for a few moments on what the "world," as we put it, meant to Marilyn Monroe and how it got its meaning, in order to raise the question as to whether another way of experiencing the "world" might have made a difference in the outcome of her life (see Steinem 1986, pp. 132-33). The nature of the world precisely as world took on a new importance for philosophers in the twentieth century largely because of the influence of Martin Heidegger (1889-1976). His thought overflowed into psychiatry through the work of the Swiss psychiatrist and friend of Sigmund Freud, Ludwig Binswanger, who found some of Heidegger's early conceptualizations clinically helpful, and, more recently, through the work of another Swiss psychiatrist, Medard Boss, who elaborated an entire theory of psychotherapy based on Heidegger's terminology. If we are to get some appreciation of how Heidegger, or a Heideggerian, would look upon Marilyn Monroe's experience of the "world," we must begin by asking how the notion of world became problematic for Heidegger in the first place. He was eighteen years old and at the educational level of a college sophomore (final year at the Gymnasium in Constance) when a priest friend gave Heidegger a copy of the doctoral dissertation of Franz Brentano, the well-known nineteenth-century scholastic whose lectures Freud had followed in Vienna. Its title was "The Manifold Sense of 'Being' in Aristotle," where being was the Greek ον (the German Seiendes) and meant anything that "is." Now is can mean a great many things: if I say that it "is" now ——— P.M. while someone "is" here writing to you with the help of a word processor that "is" in operation while the city of Boston "is" all around him and God "is" (or "is" not) in heaven, is means something different each time. Yet there is some kind of common denominator. What is that common thing that supplies every specific being with its is? That is Heidegger's question. He calls it the "to be" (Sein) of whatever "is" (Seiendes)-the Being of beings, or the Is of what-is, as if it imparted to everything that is its power to manifest itself as being what it is. This is how Heidegger describes, over fifty years later, the experience of reading Brentano's book: On the title page of his work, Brentano quotes Aristotle's phrase: τὸ ὄν λεγέται πολλαχῶς. I translate: "A being becomes manifest (Le., with regard to its Being) in many ways." Latent in this phrase is the question that determined the way of my thought: what is the pervasive, simple, unified determination of Being that permeates all of its multiple meanings? ... How can they be brought into comprehensible accord? This accord cannot be grasped without first raising and settling the question: Whence does Being as such (not merely beings as beings) receive its determination? [cited by Richardson 1976, p. xl Traditional philosophy gave Heidegger no help, but Husserl's newly proposed method of phenomenology, he tells us, suggested a way to proceed. For Husserl, originally a mathematician, had sought to develop a method for philosophy that would be analogous to the rigor espoused by the natural sciences and could guarantee comparable success in the modern world-that is, through a close analysis of the phenomena of consciousness itself. Heidegger adapted the method to his own purposes, taking it to mean essentially "letting be seen/appear" (λέγειν) those things "whose nature it is to appear" (τὰ φαινόμενα). But what phenomenon in particular would he examine in this way? Precisely the very being that raises the question, for such a being must have some sense of what to be (Sein) means if he uses the word is all the time. Heidegger calls that being Dasein because of its peculiar relationship to being (Sein). This is an old German word to which he has given a new meaning that restricts it to designate a human being. He captures the same meaning in the word existence that he sometimes writes "ek-sistence" to suggest the notion of the human being as standing (-sistere) outside of (ek-) itself and toward the to-be/Being of whatever is. Eventually he uses the word transcendence to suggest the same thing: the passage beyond beings to Being. Whatever the terminology, this is what he means by the human self. Dasein Itself, then, would be the phenomenon that Heidegger must let-be-seen (let-be!) in terms of its awareness of what Being (Sein) means. But if we take Dasein as it appears to us in the coming and going of everyday life, the most that can be said about it to start with is Dasein is a being whose nature is "to-be-in-the-world." And so Heidegger begins to work out his approach to the Being-question in his major work, Being and Time (1962; first published in 1927), by letting Dasein be seen precisely as "Being-in-the-world," first by analyzing world, then the "to-be-in," subsequently the unity of the two in a single experience, and finally the source of this unity that he finds to be in the unity of time itself. And so the great work (Being and Time) proceeds. The nub of Heidegger's analysis of the world that Dasein finds itself "in" lies in a distinction between (1) the network of people and things that surround us and make up the various intertwining segments of our daily lives (professional, personal, social, etc.) and (2) the larger context, the broader horizon of pervasive meaningfulness within which everything that is is encountered and takes its meaning. The former we can refer to as "my" "world" or "your" "world," or as one's" own" "world," or the" ontic" "world" (from Greek ὄντα meaning the plurality of what is)—in short, a "world" made up of beings, even if taken in their totality. The latter is for Heidegger the world as such. Marilyn Monroe's "own" world on that last desperate day, for example, included the bed, the telephone, the four walls of her messy room, the pills, the swimming pool outside, the people she spoke with (e.g., Greenson) or did not speak with (e.g., Bobby Kennedy), the millions of fans who knew her only on the screen. All these beings had a meaning for her in one way or another, but a larger pattern was always already functioning to make that meaning possible. We become aware of that larger pattern, Heidegger argues, when something goes wrong in our own familiar world of every day. Suppose, for example, you were having a crucial telephone conversation with someone like Marilyn and for whatever crazy reason you were cut off. It would be easy to realize how complex was the skein of people this involved in that moment. Obviously the patient herself with all her tangled relationships would be implicated, but consider the phone itself and all that it involves. First there is the human world that invented it, then produced it. Then there is the physical world out of which it is fashioned, contributing resources that gestated for thousands of years, then the laws of the electromagnetic world reaching out beyond the stars to permit it to function. Yet all these numberless factors do not suffice to make the telephone work, for they presuppose something furthersome all-pervasive pattern of meaningfulness that permits them to interrelate in some meaningful way. It is this web of beings plus the matrix that lets them be meaningful that is disclosed in the moment of breakdown. It is the matrix itself that Heidegger understands by the world, and since the analysis is made by Dasein and for Dasein, Dasein is its ultimate point of reference. The tragedy of the Saturday afternoon in August 1962 was that there was no one who could help Marilyn Monroe discern a matrix of meaning beyond the pain of her disappointments, the world as such beyond the sum total of people and things that surrounded her and constituted her own particular "world." In a sense, this was the tragedy of her life. For the crumbling of the "world" about her on the day she took her life seems little more than the final consummation of an experience that took place when she was eight years old. She had already been in several foster homes, for her mother, abandoned by the lover and father of the child the very night that he learned of the pregnancy (Christmas Eve, 1926), had been unable to care for the baby and had paid other families to care for her. By the age of eight she was living with a friend of the mother referred to as "Aunt Grace." But this day Aunt Grace had plans of her own. Marilyn tells the story: My mother's best girlfriend at this time, Aunt Grace, was my legal guardian, and I was living in her home. But when she remarried all of a sudden, the house became too small, and someone had to go .... One day she packed my clothes and took me with her in her car. We drove and drove without her ever saying a word. When we came to a three-story brick building, she stopped the car and we walked up the stairs to the entrance. I saw this sign, and the emptiness that came over me I'll never forget. The sign read: Los Angeles Children's Home. I began to cry. "Please don't make me go inside. I'm not an orphan, my mother's not dead. I'm not an orphan-it's just that she's sick in the hospital and can't take care of me. Please don't make me live in an orphan's home!" I was crying and protesting-I still remember they had to use force to drag me inside that place. I may have been only eight years old, but something like this you never forget. The whole world around me crumbled. [Cited in Steinem, p. 28] The world that crumbled was the world she was used to--that is, the world of people and things she knew and could presumably count on. The shock of abandonment shattered this world but by that very fact lit up the broader horizon of meaning that made it possible even to say that the ontic world had lost its meaning, had "crumbled." There were other stark moments where her own world might have crumbled: for example, when she was about to be married for the first time she tried to contact her natural father, but when she announced herself as Norma Jeane, Gladys's daughter, he simply hung up on her; she tried a second time as Marilyn Monroe, but this time he directed his wife to give her the name of his lawyer in case she had any complaint. And that was that. Once Heidegger has discerned the nature of the world to which a human being is exposed, he proceeds to talk about what it means to be "in" such a world. It certainly does not mean to be opposed to the world as a subject is opposed to an object, but rather to be "open" to it, to have access to it in such a way that one passes beyond the people and things that surround us to the world as matrix of meaning by reason of which all these things have relevance. He describes this passage as transcendence and analyzes different components in its movement. Heidegger speaks first of a component called understanding (Verstehen), not as an intellectual function but as a power to disclose the world, like a searchlight. He speaks, too, of an ontological disposition (Befindlichkeit) as that component by reason of which we are capable of affect. There is, too, a component that makes it possible for us to articulate all this through speech. He calls it Rede, sometimes translated discourse, though I prefer logos. Finally, there is a component in the movement that he calls fallenness by reason of which there is a low center of gravity in humans that makes us tend to lose ourselves among the people and things around us and forget the great privilege of being open to Being itself, experienced at this point as the matrix of meaningfulness that is the world. But Heidegger insists that transcendence thus understood is a very finite thing, permeated by many kinds of negativity. For example, people are not master of their own origin-they discover themselves as already "thrown" into the world. Moreover, particular individuals are not independent of other beings, these people and things that surround each of them. And not only is a person not independent of other beings but is even drawn toward them and tempted to lose oneself in them, like the victim of a cosmic undertow. Again, the person is not capable of experiencing the world in itself but only as not any being within the world, as no-thing (Nichts). Finally, the most limiting thing of all is that the person is Being-unto-an-end, and that end is death. He or she is Being-unto-death, not in the sense of being destined one day to die—that is no great news—but in the sense that death, the ultimate ending of every human being, has already placed its mark upon him or her. The moment Dasein begins to be, Dasein also begins to be finite. Dasein is Being-unto-limit, unto-end, unto-death. How is all this experienced in its unity? It is at this point that Heidegger makes his famous analysis of anxiety. For anxiety as he understands it is a foreboding in the presence not of a given thing, like a dentist's drill or an instrument of torture, but precisely of no-thing at all—of what remains when the "world" about us crumbles. It is no-thing and no-where, das Nichts. There are lots of ways to describe the experience of the Nothing. One way is caught by Wallace Stevens in his poem "The Snow Man": . . . any misery in the sound of the wind, In the sound of a few leaves, Which is the sound of the land Full of the same wind That is blowing in the same bare place For the listener, who listens in the snow And, nothing himself, beholds Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is. [1982, pp. 9-10] But in the presence of the No-thing, what is one to do? For Heidegger, it is the moment of opportunity. For it is then that Dasein hears the voice of a logos that wells up from its depths—this is how he understands conscience—a voice calling itself to become truly itself: transcendence trammeled with finitude. To this finitude Heidegger gives the name "guilt"—surely not moral but rather ontological guilt, the sum total of what Dasein lacks. The call to Dasein is to accept itself as what-it-is-and-is-still-coming-to-be. Heidegger's name for that acceptance is resolve. The result is an authoring of oneself both as transcendent and as finite that he calls authenticity. There is one more major step. Heidegger now asks about the source of this experience of Being-in-the-world in this way and sees that it involves a movement in three directions. Dasein comes to itself through its openness to the world/Being—through this openness Being comes to it. This "coming" of Being to Dasein is what is called future. But it comes to a Dasein that already is—that is, is what it has been up to now—to Dasein as "past." And yet, this "coming" through Dasein as "past" lets the people and things within its "world" become "present" to Dasein and Dasein to them. This "presence" constitutes Dasein's "present." Future, past, and present: these are the dimensions of time. What gives unity to Dasein is the unity of time itself. And for Dasein to be authentic in terms of the temporality that constitutes it, it must say yes to the future as coming through its past, thus rendering possible whatever meaning is to be found in the present. It is at this point only that we can speak of the "truth" and "freedom" of Dasein's "self." But all this sounds like so much theory. How would it work for a Marilyn Monroe? Between the time when she first felt the crumbling of the world that surrounded her and her last desperate cry against the disintegrating career in 1962, she was clearly dominated by what Heidegger would call (German) das Man (the French on)—that is, the tyranny of the common mind of what everybody says and does: the "they" of "what they are wearing in Paris this year," or "everybody" as in "everybody's doing it," of "people" as in "people will talk." What "they" dictated to Marilyn Monroe was the primacy of her physical beauty over all else, which, in effect, left her the "prisoner" of her body (Steinem, pp. 137-56). Say if you will, as her biographer does, that she embodied the "big breasted beauty that symbolized women's return to home, hearth, childbearing, and togetherness after World War II. . . . Marilyn was made into a symbol of what a postwar woman should be" (Steinem, p. 95). But there was more to her appeal than a social phenomenon. There was an entire conception of womanhood: " 'A woman needs to . . . well support a man, emotionally I mean. And a man needs to be strong. This is partly what it means to be masculine or feminine. I think it's terribly important to feel feminine, to act feminine .... Men need women to be feminine'" (p. 92). And femininity for Marilyn Monroe meant becoming an object of physical beauty. "I daydreamed chiefly about beauty," she wrote in her unfinished autobiography. "I dreamed of myself becoming so beautiful that people would turn to look at me as I passed" (p. 138). Her body was her "magic friend," as she described it (p. 141). It may explain her penchant for, and comfort with, nudity. An object, then, for the vision of others. Her craving to be seen even stretched into one of the self-destructive habits that helped sabotage her career: her pathological lateness. "People are waiting for me," she explained. "People are eager to see me. I'm wanted. And I remember the years I was unwanted. All the hundreds of times nobody wanted to see the little servant girl Norma Jeane-not even her mother" (p. 157). See her, then, in the first blossoming of her career standing in a strapless evening gown and sandals in the freezing cold before thirteen thousand GI's in Korea screaming for her over and over again. "It was the first time," she said later, "that I ever felt I had an effect on people" (p. 64). She was an object for them and an object for herself. But femininity meant more than physical beauty, it meant sexual compliance as well. Though she entered her first marriage, arranged with a 21-year-old neighbor, innocent and naive, soon afterward she was discovered by a photographer while working in a wartime airplane factory and moved up from model to starlet to star; she learned that sex was the price of success and she paid it willingly. She bragged once that she was never a "kept woman" and refused at least one offer of marriage from a millionaire because she did not love him, but she did feel that sexual satisfaction was the only thing that she had to offer. Eventually she would use it compulsively simply as a way of achieving in however transient a fashion the childlike warmth and intimacy that she had never known. As Steinem summarizes the problem: Her sexual value to men was the only value she was sure of. By exciting and arousing, she could turn herself from the invisible, unworthy Norma Jeane into the visible, worthwhile Marilyn. She could have some impact, some power, some proof she was alive. The very compulsion to do that seems to have kept her from accepting her real self enough to find sexual pleasure of her own. Marilyn kept hoping that a relationship with a man would give her the identity she lacked, and that her appearance would give her the man. This impossible search was rewarded and exaggerated by a society that encourages women to get their identity from men-and encourages men to value women for appearance, not mind or heart. [p. 118] Behind this compulsive need, of course, was that of the neglected child, whose father had rejected her, sight unseen, the very night he heard she was conceived. In any case, the whole masquerade had gone so far that at the end her mannerisms were so extreme that she was almost a female impersonator (p. 119), a parody of herself. As her analyst, Greenson, put it, "The main mechanism she used to bring some feeling of stability and significance to her life was the attractiveness of her body" (p. 154). Having experienced herself as the female object both in the eyes of others and of herself, her first line of defense was to treat her body as an object and resort to drugs as the preferred instrument with which to deal with it. Some explain her drug dependence as beginning with a resort to drugs to deal with menstrual pain clue to what has since been diagnosed as endometriosis. However that may be, in the later years she depended on drugs for everything: to put her to sleep, to wake her up, to stimulate her, to calm her, to relieve her of depression. Add to this her Bloody Marys for breakfast and champagne throughout the day. You can understand, then, how her famous "Happy Birthday" to Jack Kennedy in 1962, Marilyn standing in a transparent dress she had been sewn into, whispering in a doped slowness with long, sexy pauses, that for all its voluptuous seductiveness indicated a mind that seemed to have receded, as Arthur Schlessinger wrote later, "into her own glittering mist" (p. 128). All of this adds up to the vision of a tortured woman, empty of self-worth, failing in her career, frustrated by her failure to have a child, dependent on drugs and alcohol to relieve her pain: a woman whose own world of people and things had fallen apart. But in all this "glittering mist" there were signs of transcendence, too. I take this to mean that there was a sense of self that was not exploited by the glamor or the pain of her career as a sex symbol. I find this in that furtive claim on human dignity that could affirm that she was never a "kept" woman, that refused to marry for money when she could not marry for love, that appealed to her last photographer and would-be biographer: "Please don't make me a joke." I find index to this, too, in her well-known aspiration to develop in her a culture that she knew she lacked. She would study Renaissance books on anatomy and hang up studies of Titian and his school in her dressing room. Once an astrologer asked her if she knew that she, as a Gemini, was born under the same sign as Rosalind Russell, Rosemary Clooney, and Judy Garland. Her reply: "1 know nothing of these people. I was born under the same sign as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Queen Victoria, and Walt Whitman" (p. 174). Her heroes were Albert Schweitzer, Albert Einstein, and especially Abraham Lincoln (p. 169). On the lot she would carry volumes of Shelley, or Keats, or Thomas Wolfe, or James Joyce, and once between rehearsals for her "dumb blonde" role in All About Eve she was found reading Rainer Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet (p. 169). In all this, I take it that there was a yearning for something beyond the "world" of people and things she found about her toward something unknown and undefinable, something to which literary and artistic culture might give her access. Steinem puts it well, I think, when she describes these efforts as using a searchlight to explore the darkened World, the No-thing. And there was a temporal dimension to this search, perhaps slightly frenetic, but nonetheless suggesting that time itself was beneficent. In one of her final interviews she interrupted the conversation to say "Let us drink a toast to the future and what it holds in store" (p. 37), and at another moment: "There is a future and I can't wait to get to it." Her wedding picture with Arthur Miller is inscribed on the back "Hope, Hope, Hope" (p. 115). But the hope she proclaimed and the future she aspired to are not to be found in the ontic world of the everyday. What hope there is in Heideggerian terms is grounded in a future that is still in advent. And the future that is still coming, for which she "waits" or "can't wait," is not just some golden tomorrow that lies over the rainbow "only a day away," but, in Heidegger's terms, the ad-vent of Being and meaning that can come to us only as already what we have been—that is, a future that comes through the past. This means that treatment of Marilyn Monroe in terms of philosophy of "existence" would involve the achieving of authenticity, hence of making her own, of authenticating the past through which the future comes. In her case it would have meant making her own, of "owning," the tendency toward depression that hospitalized both her mother and grandmother before her; of "owning" the abandonment by a mother who could not take care of her, by a father who would not even acknowledge her; of "owning," therefore, the deprivation of the neglected child. This would have meant not only acknowledging the need in her for the parenting she never received and therefore sought in the sexual contacts that never satisfied her, but also the ephemeral transiency of the people and things in which she had placed her trust: her beauty, her youth, her career, her potential motherhood. All these were defined by possibilities that had been exploited and limited by choices that were already foreclosed. If all had gone well, then, the result would have been the capacity to recognize the sign of death on everything she said or did. This would not have meant the desire to hasten the moment of ontic death, if that is really what happened on August 6, 1962. It would simply have meant that this is the tragic sign of the human condition itself and in her it simply went by her proper name. Boss, M. (1979).

__label__wiki	0.543147	0.543147	Die österreichisch-ungarische Monarchie in Wort und Bild • The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in Word and Picture The World of Habsburgs: "Crown Prince Rudolf initiated a compendium on the Habsburg empire, intended as a peace project to unite different peoples and thus to save the crumbling Monarchy. Excluded from the political life of the court by the conservative figures surrounding his father due to his liberal and progressive ideas, Rudolf made his own mark when, in 1884, he initiated the monumental encyclopaedia Die österreichisch-ungarische Monarchie in Wort und Bild (‚The Austro-Hungarian Empire in Words and Pictures‘), named after him as the ‘Kronprinzenwerk’. The work was a kind of compendium intended to record the entire empire with all of its peoples. The Kronprinzenwerk was certainly impressive in statistical terms; over a period of 17 years, from 1885 to 1902, there appeared 397 individually-published instalments which were sent every two weeks to subscribers. In total, the project comprised 24 volumes containing 587 articles by over 400 authors (largely locally-based folklorists who themselves belonged to the ethnic group being investigated) and around 4,500 illustrations by 264 artists from across the Crown Lands. It was thus the biggest work published by the Imperial-Royal Court and State Publishing House. In keeping with the dualistic structure of the Monarchy, a German and a Hungarian edition were prepared by two separate teams of editors – in parallel, but differing somewhat in terms of content, the Hungarian version being primarily directed at an urban middle-class target audience. Great hopes were placed in the work, at least at the beginning, both by the publishers and the press, which gave it considerable public attention in the 1880s. Against the background of the virulent conflicts between the Monarchy’s nationalities which took place during this decade, the work was intended to be a peace project linking people together and directed against all separatist forces; through the communication of knowledge, it aimed to bring reconciliation and strengthen solidarity within the Danube Monarchy. Following Rudolf’s death, and with the shifting of the topics dealt with in the volumes from the centre to the periphery of the empire, public interest increasingly evaporated. Today, a complete edition of the Kronprinzenwerk is a much-sought-after collector’s item.

__label__cc	0.67676	0.32324	Man Group Jumps on Analyst Recommendations, Bid Potential Date: Monday, April 30, 2012 Author: Alexis Xydias, Bloomberg Man Group Plc (EMG), the world’s biggest publicly traded hedge-fund manager, jumped the most since November 2010 in London trading as analysts recommended buying the shares on prospects for better returns and a potential bid. The stock rose 14 percent to 107 pence at the 4:30 p.m. close, giving the company a market value of 1.9 billion pounds ($3 billion). Michael Sanderson, an analyst for Societe Generale SA (GLE), raised the shares to buy from hold today, saying performance should improve and a takeover can’t be ruled out. Barclays Plc reiterated an overweight, or buy, recommendation. “Negative momentum is too great given the proven fundamentals for the business,” London-based Sanderson wrote in an e-mailed note today. “Upside could emerge from further cost reductions. A bid for the company, while more likely than in the past, remains in our view a low probability outcome.” The world’s largest publicly traded hedge-fund manager was valued at 0.65 times net assets earlier this week before takeover speculation lifted Man Group’s stock from its lowest price in more than a decade, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The London-based company also had about $1.7 billion in cash, more than any investment management firm in the industrialized world relative to its market value. Arnaud Giblat, a London-based analyst at UBS, said in a report on April 23 that Man Group could be attractive to a bidder because of its sales and distribution relationships in Japan and the rest of Asia. Less Short Interest Some 4.6 percent of Man Group’s shares outstanding have been loaned out, an indication of demand from short sellers betting the stock would decline, according to Data Explorers, a London-based research firm. On April 24, that figure reached 5 percent, the highest since November 2009. Man Group’s shares tumbled over the past 12 months as the computers that run its $21 billion flagship AHL strategy failed to spot profitable trades and Europe’s debt crisis caused clients to withdraw money. Barclays analysts Daniel Garrod and Toni Dang said in a note today that the shares may reach 145 pence apiece. They wrote that concern about “accelerating outflows” are unwarranted as many guaranteed products have investors locked in until 2018. Any turnaround in fund performance will show the shares have been “oversold,” they added. Laura Humble, a spokeswoman for Man Group, has declined to comment on the shares’ move or on takeover speculation.

__label__wiki	0.919133	0.919133	MPG News / Politics The Dutch Government Just Promised to Return Any Stolen Colonial-Era Objects in Its Collections Back to Their Countries of Origin by melanie February 4, 2021 The government of the Netherlands has agreed to put in place guidelines that could make it a global leader in restituting colonial-era objects. The guidelines follow recommendations in a report issued by an advisory commission led by experts from the nation’s leading museums. The document, published in October, called for a “recognition that an injustice was done to the local populations of former colonial territories when cultural objects were taken against their will,” and recommended those artifacts be returned to the former colonies. “It’s groundbreaking, it’s progressive, it’s a radical break with the past,” Jos van Beurden, an expert on colonial restitution, told the Art Newspaper. “It’s crucial that the discussion is no longer restricted to war trophies.” Colonial artifacts from the Dutch National Museum of World Cultures. Photo courtesy of the Dutch National Museum of World Cultures. The government will now establish an independent committee to assess restitution requests and to advise museums as to whether an object was acquired involuntarily. “Because of the imbalance of power during the colonial era, cultural objects were—effectively—often stolen,” according to a recent statement by the Dutch government. “If it can be established that an object was indeed stolen from a former Dutch colony, it will be returned unconditionally. Cultural heritage objects that were stolen from a former colony of another country, or which are of particular cultural, historic, or religious significance to a country, may also be eligible for return.” “The colonial past is a subject that still personally affects many people every day,” Ingrid van Engelshoven, the nation’s minister of education, culture, and science, said in a statement. “This is why we must treat colonial collections with great sensitivity. There is no place in the Dutch state collection for cultural heritage objects that were acquired through theft. If a country wants them back, we will give them back.” A colonial artifact from the Dutch National Museum of World Cultures. Photo courtesy of the Dutch National Museum of World Cultures. The Dutch ministry intends to work with officials in Indonesia, Suriname, and Dutch territories in the Caribbean to research colonial collections and identify looted artifacts. The Dutch had colonial missions in Asia, Africa, and North and South America, sometimes for hundreds of years, dating back to the beginning of the 17th century. This history has also led the Dutch National Museum of World Cultures (which oversees the Museum Volkenkunde in Leiden, the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam, and the Africa Museum in Berg en Dal) to take independent steps toward restitution. The museum, which estimates 40 percent of the 450,000 pieces in its collection originated in Dutch colonies, established its own guidelines for colonial restitution in March 2019. In December, it announced a four-year €4.5 million ($5.38 million) research project into museum collections amassed during the colonial era.

__label__wiki	0.543879	0.543879	Ukraine expects to lose 1 bln USD due to Russian restrictions in 2016 KIEV, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) — Ukraine will lose at least 1 billion U.S. dollars this year due to trade and transit restrictions imposed by Russia, a Ukrainian official said Wednesday. Russia's transit ban will directly reduce Ukraine's export volume to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, and cut Ukraine's gross domestic product (GDP) by 0.3 percent this year, Ukraine's Economic Development and Trade Deputy Minister Nataliya Mykolska told the country's media outlet Apostrophe. In the first five months of 2016, Ukraine's export volume to Russia fell by 36.2 percent year-on-year and is expected to plunge further, she said. Agriculture, metallurgy, freight and logistics industry, packaging industry, pharmaceutical industry and light industry will also suffer losses, she added. Since the start of 2016, Moscow has taken a series of restrictive measures against Ukraine, including the suspension of a Russia-Ukraine free trade agreement in response to Kiev joining a free trade zone of the European Union.

Yes and yes. I don't think breaking the 32-bit Windows native build in order to build the 64-bit Cygwin build is progress. That said, I very much want to be able to build with a more modern compiler, so if I could get the native Windows build to work with the (newly-released!!) VS_community, I think our chances of getting a set of sources which will build both natively and on Cygwin go up. My goal was to port to the latest freely-available VS (now 2015) this summer. Taking a new job has slowed my progress on this, but I still think it's achievable. > Anyway.

__label__wiki	0.579252	0.579252	April 4, 2018 Jay Indie Spotlight, Rock 1 The hardest question we can ask ourselves about Ghostly Beard is, “What don’t we love?” After much soul searching, listening and web stalking of Ghostly Beard, we finally decided on a “not like.” Patrick Talbot, the man behind Ghostly Beard, doesn’t show his face. Why do we hate it? Well, some of us recall back when Maynard James Keenan (once front man for Tool) didn’t face the crowd during an entire concert performance, and when he would kind of face the crowd, it was from a darkened corner of the stage. So annoying. But in Ghostly Beard’s case, Patrick’s hidden face is an aside. Would we love to stare into the eyes of the deep and haunting voice coming at us from our speakers? Maybe – unless he looks anything like Maynard James Keenan (sorry Maynard — and Patrick for our image obsessiveness). But none of that has to do with the music of Ghostly Beard. Frankly put, we are head-over-heels in love with Ghostly Beard’s sound, particularly the sound on his new album, Inward. We had one of those rare and glorious moments while listening to How Does it Feel from the Inward album where you realize you aren’t just listening to another 4 chords with a catchy melody, but a real piece of art. That moment came when the lyric “How Does it Feel” lined up with the beat got us like – YAAAAASSSSS. The use of syncopation (see how much we love Ghostly Beard – we used the word “syncopation”) showed we were hearing a mature artist. A small gasp came from this listener’s lips. Each time we listen to the track we shiver with antici….. pation for that syncopation. Who is Ghostly Beard? Patrick Talbot is Ghostly Beard. He plays guitar, bass, keyboards and sings. However, he doesn’t play the drums. Instead, he programs all of his drum tracks with keys and pads (“no quantified beatz” as he puts it). He writes, arranges, produces, engineers, mixed and masters his recordings in his home studio, showing what an amazing talent he truly is. But Ghostly Beard is also an activist of sorts for musicians. He’s been working with other artists and partners such as radios, blogs and labels, on a project he hopes to build into a collective of artists that share common values and goals, particularly in defending artists’ rights and in educating the public with the challenges of unsigned artists. I believe that if many join our movement, we can start making some noise around the music industry issues, and join other organizations fighting for artists rights against the big corporations that are killing the future of music. So I’m pretty involved in that with a few others and we hope to go public very soon, and start growing our ranks to help changing the public mindset. Some might say it’s too late, and its utopic and we are luddites who want to go against progress, but it’s not true, we believe that the situation is just not sustainable, and we demand some change, and this starts by a change of mindset in our own ranks and from our fans as well. The people who think there’s no use, would have been the same saying sustainable food and goods is a doomed concept, and recycling is utopic. We believe that anyone can affect change and it starts with ourselves. Q & A with Ghostly Beard? What’s the origin of your band name? I couldn’t really use my real name, since it was taken on the internet (.com and social media accounts), so I looked for a name that would be evocative of what I wanted to project, which is being invisible, in the shadows, and putting my music forward instead of my ugly mug. I had started building a website based on images of shadows, because I’m fascinated by them, and also as a reaction against our self/image-obsessed society. I want people to forget the face and listen to the music, with their ears! So, I looked for names around this idea of “invisible”, “shadowy”, “eerie”, etc. At one point I wanted to use Ghostly Bear, but the name was also taken, so I added a “d” and it made sense because (scoop alert!) I do have a beard. How long have you been playing music under Ghostly Beard? Well, I started playing music around the age of 14, have been pretty serious about it from the age of 18, meaning I was practising from 8 to 12 hours a day… I have learned to play any kind of music you can imagine, from classical to rock, blues, jazz, bossa-nova, hard rock, flamenco, finger picking, folk, progressive rock, I’ve learned about classical harmony, jazz harmony and improvisation. I wanted to be a session musician, really. I’ve played with a few bands and in various genres. Learned to improvise with jazz and blues players. By the age of 30, I was really proficient technically, I could play anything. But then I had a big gap of 15 years where I’ve stopped playing, because of the various curve balls life had thrown in my life. Only around 2012, when things had started to settle down, did I get the energy and drive to go back to music, and I haven’t stopped since then. What have been some of your biggest challenges and how have you overcome those challenges? As I said, I have had a 15 years hiatus during which I haven’t played an instrument. Music was in the back of my head, but I didn’t have the drive and the energy and inspiration for it. When I finally got back to it, I had lost all my technique. But then I realized that technique was the least important aspect of music making. I still had the experience, and the ear, and good musical background in harmony and knowledge of many styles, and instead of filling in with technique and showing off, I started to reach deeper in my song-writing. I started writing songs that were perhaps simpler, but much richer in their melodic content, much more meaningful. I embraced what Miles Davis once said: ‘Don’t worry about playing a lot of notes. Just find one pretty one.’ and ‘You have to know 400 notes that you can play, then pick the right four.’ That’s what I do now: I try to find that one perfect note at the right time with the right sound, that expresses some real feelings instead of trying to cram as much notes as I can, because I can, and to show how clever I am (which is something that is afflicting so many young musicians, guitarists in particular!). I want to let the music breathe and flow, let it speak by itself, this means silence is also important, knowing when to play and not to play and how. I want to write songs that have the immediacy that great melodies can give, yet still have the depth that a great arrangement and production can give, where you can discover things long after the first listen. So, all in all I feel that this drawback of having lost all my technique after such a long time off was actually a big positive step in my career, as I think I’ve reached a maturity that I would never have reached otherwise. What musical genre do you classify yourself as? That’s a hard one, because I love a lot of different music, and I like to go where the song wants to take me. The first EP I’ve released was more progressive-rock, the album that followed was a lot more jazz, fusion, and the new album is more classic rock, soft rock. I suppose my genre is somewhere in the classic/progressive/jazz/fusion/Americana/blues/soft rock genre. How would you describe your music? I often joke that when I was little I loved the musical “The Sound of Music” and then my older brothers made me listen to “Whole Lotta Love” by Led Zeppelin, so I guess what I do is somewhere in between these two extremes. What was the first song you performed publicly? I think it was in my hometown in the south of France with the band of a guy who was teaching guitar to a friend of mine, he had somehow “discovered” me, and I ended up being the lead guitarist in his band. We played Tubular Bells from Mike Oldfield on stage on our first gig. Who are some of your musical influences and why? I have been listening to any music I could put my ears on. So, my influences are really coming from all over the place. What I listened to the most and what were my formative years, is the music from the seventies up to the eighties. But that period was also the most diverse musically, anything was possible, any blend of genres was possible, eclecticism was the norm and I really embrace that and try to be opened in my own writing and playing. Off the top of my head, if I had to cite artists that I have listened to the most, I would say Peter Gabriel, Michael Franks, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Yes, Weather Report, Igor Stravinsky, Frank Zappa, James Taylor, King Crimson, Jeff Beck, Led Zeppelin, J.S. Bach, Pat Metheny, Eric Clapton, Magma. I like artists that are very distinctive, that you can recognize from the first note, because they have a truly unique sound. I suppose I’m always trying to find that unique sound myself. What milestones have you reached in your music career that you’d like to share? That album that I’m releasing, called ‘Inward‘ is a big milestone for me actually. I believe it’s the culmination of years of musical listening and learning, and practice, and the best I’ve ever recorded. I’m proud of the previous EP and album, but with this one, I think I have really found my own sound and style… What is your fondest musical memory? I suppose the time that I have spent with a group of close friends when I was still a teenager, we could spend entire evenings doing nothing but listening to music and playing games and just chatting. There were not too much illegal substances involved, but we were high with the music of the time (late seventies), it was a great time in my life, and music was at the center of it. And I realize I still act online today as I did at the time, sharing music I have discovered, curious to hear the new xxx and yyy and checking out the new bands and albums. I do that online a lot, because to me music is a sharing experience and a communion. A human experience. If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what song would it be? That’s a really hard one! There are so many great songs from so many great bands/artists. I suppose one song (actually an instrumental) that I will never tire listening to is Frank Zappa ‘Watermelon in Easter Hay’. His guitar playing is the most emotionally deep that he has ever played, it’s achingly beautiful. How often do you perform live? Never. I don’t gig anymore. It was never my thing anyway. I don’t show my face, so I would have to wear a mask or a ghostly drape, which wouldn’t be very practical to sing, and I also play all the instruments on my music, so it would be hard to do on stage… I would need to find good musicians that I’m in phase with, which isn’t as easy as you’d think, because I have a very precise idea of how I want things to sound (Yes! I am a control freak!), and then there would be rehearsals, where half people turn out anyway, etc. I’ve been there, done that, got the tee-shirt and I’m done with it. I’ve always been more of a studio rat anyway, and I consider myself more as a songwriter/composer/arranger/producer nowadays than a performer. I like records, I like the magic that can happen in studios. I’m not sure I’m a fan of concerts. It’s a very different experience for sure, but mostly I hate the shitty sound you get in most concert venues… just because it’s obnoxiously loud and distorted doesn’t mean it’s exciting. It isn’t to me. Outdoor concerts can be fun because at least the sound is not bouncing off walls, but most venues have an atrocious sound and I have a hard time enjoying that. Any totally embarrassing anecdotal story from one of your performances? I suppose it was the one time I heard a recording from a gig I did with this band called ‘Era’ – it was a progressive rock band in the South of France in the early 80s (no need to look them up, you won’t find them anywhere). On one of the songs I had written, I was asked to sing the lead. But the problem was that I couldn’t hear myself during that gig because of the bad PA system. Which became pretty apparent in the recording because I was totally off key and proud of it! I don’t feel too much of a singer anyway, but that was really bad! What projects are you currently working on? I’m in the middle of promoting that new album [Inward], it’s an ongoing, never ending thing. I’m also very active on social media, I try to promote others as much as myself, I try to attend online shows when I can find the time to show some support back to the people who are supporting me. And I have a full-time job, with my own company, and a teenage daughter that needs my attention. So, I’m rarely bored! But I keep working on new songs when I can and record and mix, but each song can take me a month or two from the first idea to the final mix and master. Anyway, it doesn’t matter how much time it takes, I’m not done until I’m reasonably happy with the result, or when I’m not and I abandon it. What needs for elevating your music career aren’t being met? The need to have fans who actually buy the music! Not that I am in it for the money (for example all the sales of my new album are going to a charity anyway), but there’s a lot of people who will repeatedly say “I love this and that” and will click like on your posts on social media, yet they will never buy anything from you, not even a song at $0.99 which is less than a coffee. So, it makes you think that it’s all pretty fake in the end, which can sometimes be discouraging. I suppose it’s too much to ask nowadays, when everyone thinks that music should be free, and accessible on demand everywhere, anytime. Streaming has really reinforced this idea, which is why I hate it, and the payback for artists is so low that it’s laughable, really. It’s an unsustainable situation that is really killing all the young artists who desperately try to make a living nowadays. I don’t care for myself, I’m too old for this shit, really. But I believe that artists who are giving away their music for free or for streaming are hurting every other artist. Which is why I have opted out from all streaming platforms. I truly believe that streaming is not that different from legalized piracy, except that it’s benefiting big software corporations of course. Nowadays, you can only hear my music in full on my website, on Bandcamp (3 times maximum before being asked to buy it) and on indie radios, who are the true partners of unsigned artists, along with indie blogs, and venues. Anywhere else online you will only hear snippets and samplers of my music but not the whole thing. I think that if all artists were doing that then maybe fans would end up buying their music.

Patrick Talbot Thanks a lot for the feature, Jay! The website has been a long time coming, but it was worth the wait and it’s a great addition to the unsigned landscape.

He found himself becoming very competitive in these card games while competing against his father. After finishing secondary school, Howard made a decision to put college on hold for a little bit and moved away to New York to play some serious chess. While participating in chess, he was brought in to a poker game taking place in the back of the room. Howard’s first 2 years were tough as he would play extensive hours and lose most times. He made some extra money by being an assistant for the poker players. He judged he could improve his game by analyzing his life outside of poker. He made an attempt to acquire more rest and concentrate more on poker. The real advancement in his game happened when he began playing at the Mayfair Club in New York City. The Mayfair was a bridge and backgammon club where the best players would regularly challenge each other. He had access into several of the best minds in chess. With their assistance, he would sharpen his logical thinking abilities. Howard used these strategy ideas in the game of NL Texas Holdem. He also assisted his sibling Annie Duke learn poker. Annie was an excellent student of poker as she would consistently be asking questions about how to make the correct choice. Howard Lederer told Annie to move out to Las Vegas and play in the World Series of Poker competition. She is one of the greatest female players the poker world today. Howard relocated to Vegas in 1993 and competed in cash games for the following 10 years. When the World Poker Tournament grew in popularity, Howard decided to compete in more tournaments. « Best Multiplayer Poker Internet Site \| Web High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen? »	cc/2022-05/en_head_0047.json.gz/line71

__label__cc	0.687741	0.312259	Most Valuable Real Estate in the Solar System Water on Lunar South Pole By: Peter H. Diamandis, Chairman/CEO, X PRIZE Foundation Today’s announcement by NASA of significant water on the south pole of the Moon is scientifically critical, economically astounding and extremely important for the long-term future of humanity. Further, this finding now defines the most “valuable real estate in the solar system.” On October 9th, the LCROSS collision, run by NASA Ames, crashed into the depths of a permanently shadowed crater on the south pole of the Moon. From a scientific point of view, the debris plume resulting from this impact has been analyzed by scientists during the past month, and the results show a significant quantity of water. We now know that the water can be found in the permanently shadowed caters of the Lunar South Pole. This water is probably the remnants of comet collisions with the lunar surface. Likely there may be billions of tons of water, water that can be used to produce rocket fuel or to support future human outposts. From an economic point of view, water on the Moon is the equivalent of finding “gold in the hills of California.” Translation… there is the potential for a California gold rush to hit the space nations in the years ahead. It may be that governments and/or companies will seek to be first to the ice-fields of the Lunar South Pole and make a claim. So what’s so interesting about water on the Moon? After all it’s in boundless supplies on Earth. The value of water is its actual physical location on the Moon, a place that is very expensive to travel to. The utility of the water is both as a propellant for rockets and for the maintenance of human life in space. With sufficient water on the Moon, solar energy can be used to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is of course critical for humans to breath and the water important for us to drink. As it turns out, hydrogen (H2) & oxygen (O2) together are one of the most efficient propellants we know. The Space Shuttle Main Engines (some of the most powerful rocket engines in existence), for example, burn O2 and H2 to blast our astronauts off the Earth into orbit. You can think of water as the petroleum of spaceflight… rather than oil that powers our cars, H2 and O2 powers our rocketships. Today’s launch costs are unfortunately extremely expensive. On the average it costs something on the order of $20,000 per pound to get supplies into low-Earth orbit (where the Int’l Space Station is located) and, optimistically, 10x to 20x that cost, or approximately $400,000 per pound to land something on the Moon’s surface. So the cost of transporting water to the lunar surface, or oxygen, or hydrogen is about $400,000 per pound or $25,000 per ounce… about twenty-five times the price of gold today! Revealing water in significant quantities on the Moon could truly be a turning point in space exploration. Who will set up the first water mining plants? Given low-cost availability of water, hydrogen and oxygen, what type of off-Earth economies and exploration will this enable? The question is not too dissimilar to those questions asked when oil was discovered buried deep under the Earth or under the oceans. We eventually designed the technology to mine and extract this precious resource. It’s what we do as humans and entrepreneurs. The south pole of the Moon has another very important attribute in addition to water, namely the existence of small mountain peaks that are constantly in sunlight, 28 days out of the Lunar cycle and referred to as the “peaks of eternal light.” These peaks which are in the plane of the ecliptic (the plane that the Earth rotates around the sun) will allow for constant illumination of solar panels and heating of the spacecraft. The reason this is important is because the temperature on the Moon plummets from +100 degrees Centigrade to -150 degrees Centigrade as the Moon rotates into and out of direct sunlight. The proximate location of newly discovered ice-fields, next to these “peaks of eternal light,” will allow for the creation of fuel depots where water is mined and then solar energy is used to break it down to Hydrogen and Oxygen for rocket fuel (a process known as hydrolysis). Think of this location as the ‘Saudi Oil fields’ of the solar system. I could imagine that some governments or corporations will want to race to this real estate and stake their claim in the decade ahead. I’m particularly excited for all of the teams building vehicles for the Google Lunar X PRIZE (www.googlelunarxprize.org/). This is a $30 million competition funded by Google and operated by the X PRIZE Foundation. We’ve offered up a large cash bounty for the first team to privately build and land a robot on the surface of the Moon that can travel, send back photos and video. Think of these vehicles as a low-cost ‘prospector’ looking for information and valuable data, as well as the companies constructing the shovels and picks on the bleeding edge of this potential boom. Thus far, 21 teams from 11 nations have registered to compete. When they are successful they will demonstrate the ability to reliably travel to the lunar surface and explore for less than a tenth of the current costs envisioned by government programs. Everyone will benefit and these Google Lunar Teams will be on the cutting edge of a gold rush. If you’ve been wondering where the next Gold Rush is going to take place, look up at the night sky to our closest celestial neighbor. The next economic boom might just be a mere 240,000 miles away on the bella luna. What a posting!! This is the most exciting geographical concept to come forth since earth's last major land mass was charted. It's the "new world" of the 21st Century, although you're right in that the first 'colonists' will probably migrate as a result of commercial interests as opposed to, say, religious persecution.

__label__wiki	0.771923	0.771923	Tunable superconductor makes better circuits Editor's note: this research has been withdrawn by the scientists. In order to make practical use of any type of electricity conduit, including superconductors, you have to be able to control how the electricity flows. Researchers from Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs have made a tunable circuit that allows them to modulate the flow of electricity through organic superconductors like polymers and fullerenes. Fullerenes, or buckyballs, are made entirely of carbon and resemble molecular-scale soccer balls. Polymers are long strings of molecules. The circuit is a type of Josephson junction, which is a superconductor ring with a gap in it. The gap is spanned by a thinner piece of superconductor that causes electricity to flow more slowly than if the ring were unbroken. The researchers tuned the device by changing the voltage of current flowing through an electrode at the gap. This voltage change affected the electrical field surrounding the connecting piece of organic material, which in turn changed its properties from insulating to superconducting. Insulators slow or block electricity flow and superconductors allow electricity to flow with perfect efficiency. The tunable junctions "take advantage of the fact that it is possible to switch between an insulator and a superconductor just by changing a voltage," said Jan Hendrik Schön, a Bell Labs researcher. The junctions "can be tuned over more than five orders of magnitude," he added. The electrical field changes the material's properties by changing the concentration of the negatively-charged electrons or positively-charged holes that reside around a molecule's periphery and allow it to conduct electricity. At high carrier concentrations electricity flows more quickly, while low concentrations change the material to an insulator. The researchers have demonstrated "an exciting novel effect which is scientifically significant and potentially useful in applications," said J. T. Chen, a Professor of Physics at Wayne State University. The scientific significance is that "the strength of superconductivity can... be varied by an electric field controlled by a bias voltage [making it] possible to study superconducting properties such as critical current and energy gap as a function of carrier density without changing temperature," said Chen. In addition to scientific measurement tools the junctions could eventually be used to make superconducting circuits, which could be faster than conventional electronic circuits, said Schön. It is well known that Josephson junctions can be used as circuits. One example is superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), which contain two Josephson junctions. More complex superconducting structures can be used for logic circuits, Schön said. In the 1970's, IBM attempted to develop computers by using Josephson junctions that were switched using a magnetic field controlled by current, said Chen. The Bell Labs researchers' electrically-switched Josephson junctions show more promise as circuits, said Chen. "Since [the] electric field is more localized, voltage-controlled Josephson junctions may be easier [to use in] designing a circuit," he said. The researchers are looking for additional materials to use for the junctions. They're also working on making more complicated circuits of two or more links, said Schön. "In the present experiments, we used one gate to control the junction. By using separate gates for each superconducting region... a better control of the properties could be achieved," he said. These tunable, superconducting junctions could be used as quantum bits, or qubits in quantum computers in the far future, Schon said. Schön's research colleagues were Christian Kloc and Harold Y. Hwang Of Bell Laboratories and Bertram Batlogg of Bell Laboratories and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). They published the research in the April 13, 2001 issue of the journal Science. The research was funded by Lucent Technologies.

Josh Deaver with what we learned and what the team needs to do to reach the World Cup. BY Josh Deaver Posted A goal from Corey Baird was all the U.S. under-17 men’s national team needed on Thursday night against Guatemala. With the 1-0 victory, the Americans emerged victorious in Group C and will face Group D runner-up Honduras on Sunday (6 p.m. ET; Fox Soccer) in the quarterfinals of the U-17 CONCACAF Championship. Up for grabs: a spot in this fall’s World Cup. Flores returns with mixed performance The mercurial Dortmund-bound teenager made his return to the U.S. lineup on Thursday, starting on the left wing for Williams’ squad. Flores was anonymous for a good portion of the match—especially in the first half—but his skill was evident when he was able to move into the midfield and get more touches on the ball. The attacker's efforts led to some good opportunities for the U.S. attack, and he nearly scored himself on a far post run in the second half, only to scuff his opportunity. For Flores to truly show his panache as a playmaker, however, he needs the ball at his feet with a greater frequency than he is afforded playing out wide. Rubin and Sonora impress again The 2012 U.S. Soccer Young Male Athlete of the Year lived up to his lengthy moniker against Los Chapines. Rubin started slow, but picked up the tempo as the game progressed. As defenders legs got heavy, his intuitive movement and skillful dribbling created several chances, including an end line run and cross that was buried on the volley by Corey Baird early in the second half. Even for those who follow the U.S. youth teams, this tournament is likely the first time most have seen Joel Sonora in action. Quite simply, the Boca Juniors standout is every bit as good as advertised. Playing 90 minutes in central midfield, Sonora displayed a composure and thoughtfulness on the ball that is not often seen in the U.S. system. His skill was undeniable in the second half, when his close-quarters slalom dribbling through three defenders resulted in one of the six shots on goal by the Americans. The first 25 minutes One concerning aspect of the U-17’s performance so far has been the tendency to wilt under early pressure. As was the case against Haiti, the first 25 minutes against Guatemala saw a U.S. squad on the back heel and bereft of attacking movement. The five-man midfield of Guatemala attempted to overwhelm the U.S. with its numerical advantage, which led to several early (although not entirely dangerous) opportunities. It wasn’t until the U.S. started creating width, using the individual brilliance of Rubin and the interplay between Baird and Flores on the wing, that they were able to neutralizes the advantage. At the onset of the second half, the constant danger from Rubin forced the Guatemalans to dial back their midfield pressure to contend with the threat. After the goal, the Americans sustained possession for extended periods. The opponent’s rhythm was disrupted and the back four ushered the contest to completion. With the group stage out of the way, the Americans will now turn their attention to Honduras. The U.S. must win. The Hondurans lost to Mexico, but stifled El Tri, who struggled to create for much of the match. Unfortunately, the Central American side has little offense. Midfielder Devron Garcia, who leads active players in goals for the tournament, is dangerous. But the Americans are a better team and should come out with a positive result against Los Catrachos on Sunday night. In the 14 previous World Cups, the U.S. has never failed to qualify. But, then again, this is CONCACAF. Josh Deaver is a former academic turned soccer obsessive. Follow him on on Twitter.	cc/2022-05/en_head_0047.json.gz/line93

__label__cc	0.710356	0.289644	de pinxi \| Return to Bagacum de pinxi / Return to Bagacum Return to Bagacum The largest interactive archaeological reconstruction to date ! In Roman times, the town of Bavay was known by the name of Bagacum; being located on the spot where seven major routes met, it was an important stopping-off point, and the capital of the city of Nerviens. To assert their presence, the Romans built the largest forum outside Italy right here in the town: it was a gigantic public building, 200 metres long by 120 metres wide! All that remains of the original building is a ruined part of the underground portico. In order to restore the readability of the site, the Bavay Museum and archaeological site, in conjunction with the cultural department of the Conseil Général du Nord, have commissioned de pinxi to reconstruct the Gallo-Roman site in computer graphics, just as it existed in the second century AD. The show is based on a fictional premiss. Julie is seeking to publish her thesis on archaeology. By magic, she finds herself back in the second century AD, with the mission of returning to the present days with a bit of help from the audience! Three tools in one single production : interactive fiction, architectural tour, interactive research program.	cc/2022-05/en_head_0047.json.gz/line100
