Bioorthogonal Chemistry: Carbohydrate labeling strategy has come a long way in 10 years

In 2004, Carolyn R. Bertozzi of the University of California, Berkeley, and coworkers took a key step toward imaging carbohydrates to study their roles in live animals. They visualized cell surface glycans by injecting into mice a functionalized metabolic sugar substrate followed by a peptide probe. The sugar and probe reacted inside the mice, creating a complex bound to the cell surface that could be detected using a fluorescent antibody after the cells were removed from the animals (Nature 2004, DOI: 10.1038/nature02791).
The work was an advance in bioorthogonal chemistry, a field dedicated to studying chemical reactions that are carried out in living cells but that don’t interfere with natural life processes. Bioorthogonal chemistry, a name Bertozzi coined, has come far since its beginnings in 2000, when her group developed the Staudinger ligation, the addition of a peptide-bound phosphine to an azide to form an amide. This was the first reaction used to label cell surface glycans.
A number of improved bioorthogonal reactions have since been developed by Bertozzi’s group and others. The chemistry is now carried out completely inside living animals, reagents for the reactions are available commercially, and applications are growing.
Staudinger ligation worked well, except that it was so slow that the reagents sometimes cleared from an animal’s body before they could react. Bertozzi and her coworkers noted that a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne addition, a so-called click reaction, was orders of magnitude faster than Staudinger ligation and would be excellent for bioorthogonal chemistry, except that the copper catalyst is toxic to cells. So in 2007 they redesigned the click reaction by using a difluorinated cyclooctyne as the alkyne reagent. The compound’s strained ring and difluoro group prime it for reaction, eliminating the need for copper. Other groups later developed similar reactions using cyclooctynes with attached phenyl rings.
With copper-free click chemistry in hand, the obvious next step was to go whole hog into live animals. Bertozzi and coworkers made that step in 2008 by introducing azide-derivatized N-acetylgalactosamine and difluorinated cyclooctyne into zebrafish embryos. The technique made it possible to detect glycan biosynthesis in specific locations during zebrafish development.
Two other groups later developed tetrazine ligation, the cycloaddition of tetrazine and strained alkene derivatives, which proceeds at fast rates that dwarf those of all other bioorthogonal transformations. Tetrazine ligation has been used for antibody-based imaging of cancer cells in live mice. Yet another team developed photoclick chemistry, in which light-induced cycloadditions make it possible to carry out bioorthogonal chemistry experiments with enhanced spatial and time precision.
Bioorthogonal chemistry has enabled widespread applications in biological imaging, bioconjugation, polymer and dendrimer synthesis, and protein engineering. For example, biotech companies have carried out research in which bioorthogonal functional groups are added to selected sites on recombinant antibodies, allowing drugs to be incorporated specifically at those sites. Preclinical studies suggest that the site-specific conjugates have better therapeutic properties and could be manufactured more easily than previous antibody-drug conjugates.
In a 2004 study, Bertozzi and coworkers visualized cell surface glycans by injecting into mice an azide-functionalized sugar (above arrow) followed by a peptide probe bound to a phosphine (below arrow). The sugar and phosphine probe react, creating a complex that can be detected in isolated cells with a fluorescent antibody.

Sylvania Township Board of Trustees Approve Oakleaf Village Expansion Plans
Written by: Natalie Trusso Cafarello
Published by: Toledo Blade
Oakleaf Village received approval from the Township Board of Trustees on Tuesday to build a new facility to treat those who suffer from memory loss.
The Sylvania Township Board of Trustees unanimously approved the plans submitted by Oakleaf Village, an assisted living and retirement community, to construct a memory care building on its 10.5 acre property at 4220 N. Holland-Sylvania Rd.
The parcel of land, had a RA-Planned Unit Development designation with an underlying residential zone that was in place since 1985, Daryl Graus, planning and zoning manager, said. On March 27 the Toledo-Lucas County Plan Commissions approved Oakleaf’s request to remove the Planned Unit Development to retain the residential or R4 zoning designation, and the trustees also approved the zoning change at Tuesday’s meeting.
Used to regulate land development, according to the Toledo-Lucas County Plan Commissions, a PUD zoning is designed to offer flexibility from traditional zoning, however, tighter restrictions are applied to landscaping, open space and building coverage in exchange.
“Removing it relieves them from the strict requirements of the PUD, in order to build a memory care facility. They will have a little more freedom, and will still have to abide by rules as far as setbacks, and building height,” Mr. Graus said.
The Zoning Commission approved the plans and the zoning change on April 10.
The building, designed by Andrews Architects of Dublin, Ohio, will be one-level assisted living complex, about 30,000 square feet. It will house those patients suffering from dementia or Alzheimer, Russell Garber the project architect, said. The building plans include 40 units and Oakleaf is licensed for up to 48 units, Mr. Garber said.
He would not disclose how much construction would cost. He said that construction will begin in September with a one-year completion date. He expects the facility to be operable by late summer 2014.
The Wallick Company, based in Columbus, will have its development division complete the construction phase of the project, Mr. Garber, said. The Wallick Company is Oakleaf’s parent company, he said.
Before the trustees voted on the zoning change, a public hearing was held on the subject, which no residents attended.
“We’ve had a good support from the community throughout the whole process,” said Mr. Garber.
The parcel of land was part of a two lot Planned Unit Development with an underlying residential zone, where Wellington Apartments are located to the north. Mr. Graus said that the apartment complex, which is not affiliated with Oakleaf, will maintain the its Planned Unit Development designation.

And who, pray tell, are the worst? Anybody who uses a word in a way you don't like? Do you really think people won't know which century you're talking about if you mention the Gay Nineties? Are you worried that people will misunderstand the Flintstones' "we'll have a gay old time!"? Or are you actually claiming that gay people and their allies are "the worst"?

Bad news, dude: lots of straight folks indulge in those activities as well.

I'm having a hard time seeing that the adjective "gay" is -- or was -- the best part of our language. Also calling gays "the worst" is vomitous. Also whether or not one is "gay" has nothing whatsoever to do with activity. It has to do with attraction.
Somebody remind me, what fucking year is this?

In order to be contradictory, it would have to now mean sad and joyless. What we have in this instance is actually a normal shift in usage as explained here.
You wish to complain about abuses in our "wonderful" language, better to crusade against the word irony. It is so misused as to render any specific definition difficult to ascertain.

There are many abused words. Though I think literally is on the path trod by decimate. It is the middle of a shift from one usage to another, broader one.
Whereas Irony has as many different meanings as are likely possible (comedic, tragic, coincidental, accidental, fitting, etc) meaning a path through to a change rather than disintegration is difficult.
True. The problem with "literally" shifting to mean "really a whole bunch by golly" is that we are running out of words to mean what is meant by literally, and used to be meant by really. I can't think of any single word that has that meaning. Maybe we need to resurrect "verily."
So few have used decimate accurately for decades. Will you decimate SL and if so what shall you be removing?

Hmm. You must have a fucked up dictionary, because I have no clue what you're on about if you've drawn that conclusion.
To spell out what gay means in terms of activity.
Waking up in the morning, next to the partner whom you love. (Okay, I'll admit the person in question could be alone, or next to last night's fling - but since we started on the topic of marriage, let's stick with that one.)
Breakfast and coffee. Sometimes in bed. Sometimes at the table. Sometimes brunch at a cafe.
Weekdays - off to work, or maybe looking for work. Or perhaps retired. Some will give their lover a goodbye kiss and wish them well. Some will leave their lover sleeping.
Later in the day - maybe walking the dog, or ironing (okay, now the horror is setting in.) Maybe a movie. Dinner - pasta? Roast? Salad? Fuck it, I don't know - there are literally an infinite number of variations. (Spot the irony).
Laughing together. Talking about the problems at work. Maybe volunteering down at the community house? Arguing about whose turn it is to do dishes. Getting it on with the person they love might even feature in the day. Watching tv and complaining about too much reality tv these days. Gardening. Sports. Fixing a car. Browsing the internet.
Those are some of the activities in the day of a life of gays.
Don't see how spelling it out has helped. Hope it helped you.

Steve Langton, I don't understand your problem here: you don't have to share someone else's understanding of their self-description and you don't have to use the terms that they use and you don't have to believe the same things that they believe (about themselves, about the world, about anything else) to recognise that they have rights. Surely you must appreciate that the toleration that you enjoy to express your views and life your lifestyle also extends to others who have views and lifestyles you don't understand or approve of.
This is one reason why I prefer the state - for all its faults - to the option that you're offering. I don't want to live in a country where people like you get to determine how other people live.

Let's cut to the chase. Steve finds willies up bottoms icky, thinks that's what defines gayness, and wants us to find it icky and define gayness that way too.

Let's not forget that it's straight men who chant "No means yes, and yes means anal!"
All we really know about those men is that they claim to straightness, but do so in a definitely questionable way. And like to hang around in groups of similar males. And have no real attraction to women as people.
[ 05. December 2016, 14:18: Message edited by: Penny S ]
That is silly. Everyone knows it is men that are not quite people.
I wouldn't go that far - but I certainly tend to the view that that sort of male is not quite people. I'm sure there are some that are actually men, and people.
I was much saddened the other day when a woman who rang a phone-in about the recently revealed extent of abuse of young footballers showed that she believed that the behaviour of the abusers was so general that it applied to almost all adult males, everywhere.
Refusing to print words that only one set of people are going to ask for is de facto discriminating against hat one group.
By that logic, refusing to print "Lucifer is Lord" is discrimination against Satanists.
I'll leave you to imagine what slogan if refused would constitute discrimination against paedophiles.
Do you believe that this meaming of "discrimination" is an inherently bad thing ? Or is it only a bad thing when you sympathize with the group being discriminated against ?
And secondly, how big does a group have to be before you're prepared to consider this sort of discrimination against them to be a wrong that should be prohibited ?
If refusing a slogan "Mousethief rocks!" is discrimination against the Mousethief fan club (the only set of people who would ask for such a slogan), is it still discrimination when that fan club has only one member ?

I'm not going to play the "please say exactly what I want you to say" game.
Seems to me that what you believe in is "one law for the good guys and one law for the bad guys".
Where of course the good guys are those who think like you do...
I could be wrong. Maybe you do have a non-partisan belief that anyone who goes into business has no business having any convictions of their own. That if they're not prepared to print blasphemy against whatever beliefs they hold, they shouldn't print anything at all.
But since your style seems to be long on snappy retorts that duck the hard questions, and short on clearly setting out and defending a coherent position, it's kind of hard to tell.

Well, I have no idea what type of discrimination we're supposedly confusing, because you've posted three wildly different examples - one is a religion, the second is a crime, and the third is a matter of taste.
At least my style isn't ignoring things in another person's posts that answers my question, then posing my question as if the other person never answered it.

Mousethief's argument rests on uncritical acceptance of "discrimination" as a bad thing. But the word is used to mean both
- acts of prejudice
- acts which have differential impact on different groups.
Acts of prejudice are a bad thing. If I won't hire you, won't trade with you, won't speak to you, because you're one of those class of people that I disapprove of, then I'm wronging you, unpersoning you. That's bad.
But pretty much anything that the government does has the side-effect of benefiting some people more than others. The criminal justice system aims to discriminate between the guilty and the innocent. It used to be that the police deliberately recruited big tall men, discriminating against the short and weedy. The army recruits fit people
. This may or may not be a good policy. But if there's a benefit from it, the fact that it discriminates against the unfit doesn't matter.
Any preference you express is an act of discrimination against those who hold the opposite opinion. Any choice you make is an act of discrimination against the option you reject.
Differential impact is not inherently bad in the way prejudice is.
There's this horrible unprincipled partisan way of looking at the world in which every act is judged on the basis of who wins and who loses, and if the people who gain are those we sympathize with then it's a good thing. Don't go there. Have principles that apply equally to those you like and those you don't.
bullshit. You are advocating that an Opinion has the right to oppress a Person. Gay is what someone
IS. Those are not the same.
... Mousethief's argument rests on uncritical acceptance of "discrimination" as a bad thing. But the word is used to mean both
- acts which have differential impact on different groups....
Yes, and human rights law takes both into account:
The principle of equal treatment corresponds to the prohibition of direct discrimination * and indirect discrimination * . It applies to everybody in the private or public sector and in public bodies. Its scope covers social protection (including social security and health care), social advantages, education, as well as access to and supply of goods and services, such as housing and transport.
Key terms of the Act
•Direct discrimination: discrimination caused when one person is treated less favourably than another is, has been or would be treated in a comparable situation.
•Indirect discrimination: discrimination caused when an apparently neutral provision, criterion or practice would lead to a particular disadvantage compared with other persons. Unless it is objectively justified by a legitimate aim and the means of achieving that aim are appropriate and necessary.
Principle of Equal Treatment
They're both discrimination. Now, one can argue whether or not an instance of indirect discrimination is "objectively justified by a legitimate aim". Your example of fitness requirements for military or police can be objectively justified*. IANAL, but refusal to produce material depicting or advocating criminal acts may be justifiable. What is the objectively justified legitimate aim for preventing the mousethief fan club from getting t-shirts?
Feel free to browse EUR-lex and see if you can find anything to support your argument that a shopkeeper's morals take precedence over the principle of equal treatment.
*And in many places, it has been found that people who might not meet a specific physical standard bring many other important skills to those jobs and can perform effectively. The
Caprica City Police Department doesn't have height or weight requirements; instead, there's an obstacle course and a series of timed running intervals. The department also offers coaching for applicants to prepare for the tests.

There are several definitions of discrimination.
You are mixing up 1 and 2 in your posts. In relation to this thread and in relation to the law, we are often talking about the "especially" bit of definition 1, usually with reference to protected characteristics.

but refusal to produce material depicting or advocating criminal acts may be justifiable.
Various criminal acts are depicted on TV all the time. Or so it seems.
But seems to me that advocating treason is treason, inciting crime is a crime, and advocating acts one believes to be morally wrong is morally wrong.
If someone asks you to print something that the law of your state deems illegal, you have a legal duty not to. If it's something immoral, you have a moral duty not to.
But there's no duty in either case to shun them as a person. Acceptance of the person and the text are two different things.
And whereas if you believe something to be illegal and do it anyway and it turns out not to be, the law lets you go as having no case to answer. But if you believe something to be morally wrong and do it anyway and it turns out not to be, you've still done something morally wrong because you've acted against your conscience.
So if (general) you have a choice between breaking the law and harming other people vs. doing something immoral that harms no one except your own sensibilities, which do you choose? And if you choose breaking the law, why should your personal morality be an excuse? Part of civil disobedience is accepting the legal consequences of breaking immoral laws.
Leaving aside the legalese, there's also the Wisdom of the Ship: suffering for your beliefs makes you a martyr. Making other people suffer for your beliefs makes you a prat.
But this distinction between people and words is fake. What you're objecting to is not the words, but the people. You think the existence of these people is immoral, and so you don't want to print their perfectly harmless slogan. Pretending it's the words is disingenuous.

Well, if the general society and/or its laws held fast to freedom of all religions, that *would* be discrimination against Satanists.
Whether or not that would be wrong is another matter, IMHO.
A lot of this stuff gets really complicated, ISTM. And I think there's a difference between being LGBT and being a Satanist.
I'm more for finding a non-litigious avenue, if possible. TBH, I can think of some things I wouldn't want to be forced to put on a cake, t-shirt, etc. I don't know how I'd handle it--EXCEPT a) keep a list of vendors who'd be happy to print whatever, and refer customers there; b) having good-quality, cake lettering kits on hand, so people could buy an unlettered cake, then put anything they wanted on it; or c) set up a self-serve T-shirt printing shop.
And yet if a baker iced a cake with that message, a lot of people would shrug and recognise it goes with the territory and not judge the baker for it.
If the same baker iced a pro-gay message many of those same people would be outraged.
Incredibly sad.

But this question is about whether suffering is minimised in a world where printers and bakers can say no (with the consequence that those with unpopular beliefs feel rejected and have to search around a bit for someone to print their text).
Or a world where printers and bakers aren't allowed to say no (but are obliged by law to grit their teeth and produce text that goes against their deep convictions if anyone requests such a text).
The rights of service provider versus customer.
Both cases could be described as one person being disadvantaged by another's belief. In either case it might be better to suffer than to go to law to impose on others. But we're not arguing about that, we're arguing about which is the better law.
In general I believe in the need for consent, so I favour people being allowed to say no.
But if you really want a world where Muslim bakers can be sued for declining to ice pictures of Mohammed, and gay printers jailed for refusing to print posters that say "homosexuality is a sin" then go ahead and make a case for it.
It gets more heated when those who are into special pleading want the law to go one way when a member of a group they sympathize with is in the customer role and the other way when the roles are reversed. And won't admit that's their position...
Prove those assertions. Because it sure looks like you're suggesting that anyone who disagrees with you is biased and unprincipled and won't admit it.

That isn't the same thing at all. You can't refuse to print a message if your reason for printing it is discriminatory versus protected characteristics.
Refusing to ice a picture of Mohammed is not discriminating against any group. Refusing to say homosexuality is a sin is not discriminating against a religion, unless you want to adopt the very sad argument that the belief in homosexuality being a sin is emblematic of Christianity. Sadly, I think that may just be the case. That will be what Christians at the turn of the 21st century will be remembered for. They were the ones who really hated the gays with all their heart, their soul and their mind.

Well, possibly not - but that depends on whether the view is accepted by the court as being a philosophical belief. I suppose it is possible that one could be a white supremicist who believes that Islam is evil and who wants a t-shirt printed with Mohammed saying something daft. Of course, the problem for the Muslim may well be the depiction of M rather than what he is saying.
I'm afraid you seem to be taking a very black-and-white view on this whereas the Equalities Act itself looks quite vague (particularly with the inclusion of protection of philosophical and political views) and there is very limited case law showing the things you say are obvious.
In addition there are legal authorities which say the opposite to you. I don't know who is right, but I'm not going to say that you are just because you keep repeating the same mantra.

Again, it doesn't actually matter whether you think that those who believe homosexuality-is-a-sin are not "true" Christianity or not. What they'd have to prove to the court was that it is a belief with some pedigree and consistency.
I note that in a different context, a family judge criticised an estranged father from an Orthodox Jewish community for enraging his ex-wife by taking his child to a place where he was exposed to evolution in a museum - in a case reported by the media this week.
You might indeed find this an odd judgement. You might indeed say that this sect represents a minority view within Judaism. You might indeed criticise it for treating the belief on its own merits rather than exposing it to the light of scientific truth. But the court, at least in this instance, appears to have determined that the internal consistency - and effect on the child of exposing him/her to something outwith of their worldview - is more important than "normal" exposure to alternative ideas in society. I don't like that, I'm guessing that you probably don't either. But the court (at least in this instance) appears to see that as important.
Sadly, I think that may just be the case. That will be what Christians at the turn of the 21st century will be remembered for. They were the ones who really hated the gays with all their heart, their soul and their mind.
I suspect that's quite unlikely, actually. I think we're likely to see the religion become increasingly divided in the future, so it may well be true that a conservative "gay-hating" strand continues, but I think an increasingly vocal liberal strand will gain in strength, presumably increasingly being seen as its own religion.

You're not? Really? So now what am I supposed to do?
But seriously I am doing my best to take a black-and-white line over it in order to present how I think it works. (Particularly when the same contention keeps coming round). We have discussed the recent case in detail up the thread and I think it doesn't clearly contradict the interpretation I'm taking. I'd like to see if there are other cases or actual judicial opinions that do. The Jewish estranged father sounds quite complicated with other factors.
I agree with you I'm being too pessimistic about the record of Christianity. It does seem a bit dispiriting sometimes but it won't be as bad as that.
Why would it? Satanists are generally quite inclined to let everyone else get on with what they like as long as they don't impinge on each other's freedom to do so. So Satanism in general would be quite happy under real freedom of religion.
But the case concerning the Jewish father who hates evolutionary museums is not about a commercial establishment that opens its doors to the public.
I'm wondering if Steve will come back and tell us why he thinks the word "gay" is the best word in the English language, and gay people the worst people.
it sure looks like you're suggesting that anyone who disagrees with you is biased and unprincipled and won't admit it.
Seems to me that most people have a moral intuition, a sense of justice. (We don't have to go into how much of it is innate and how much learned).
Being fallible compromised humans (some would say "fallen") that sense is imperfect. The temptation is always to feel keenly any injustice towards ourselves and those we care for or identify with. Whilst seeing as no big deal the same injustice towards those we dislike. That's life.
Trying to resist this temptation, trying to be unbiased and principled, means setting out a coherent and justifiable rule, applicable to every individual whether you like them and sympathize with them or not. In this case a rule as to whether it is morally wrong for a person to refuse to produce words theydon't agree with, that doesn't depend on whether or not you agree with those words.
Whether Voltaire said it or not, some people do believe in free speech - the moral right of others to say or withhold words that one doesn't or does agree with. (Subject to other moral duties such as not threatening other people).
I hope I'm achieving that standard - not giving myself and those I feel for rights of free speech that I wouldn't grant to everyone.
I want to encourage others to do so too. And feel frustrated when they don't seem to be bothered to try.
Not naming any names...
But maybe some of that is misinterpretation.
In this you concentrate entirely on the baker and not at all on the customer. (How can I tell? By the fact you don't in the least countenance the possibility that different people's rights might be in conflict.) My consistent position has been that when you put out your shingle to do business with the public, you voluntarily give up some of your rights in deference to those of your clientele.

Ethnic Diversity and Post-Nationalism
March 1, 2012 alexandre 1 Comment
I normally don’t enjoy Quora. But I was just asked an anonymous question there which made me react. It’s close to the kind of question I get in my intro-level courses in sociology or anthropology, so I like to “do my job” of elucidating these issues.
Here’s the question:
Can there be such a thing as too much diversity?
Up until recently the rule for all immigrants was “When in Rome do as the Romans do.” This appears to have been replaced by “We’re not going to integrate but live as we did back home.”
Is it possible that at some point diversity becomes a detriment that divides society? Just look at how segregated some cities have become
Here’s my answer:
Funnily enough, I’m preparing an exam on material where this very issue appears. Unfortunately, this material isn’t online.
One of sociology’s core perspectives, functionalism, had “extreme diversity” among the conditions under which social order breaks down. The idea, there, was that it went against society’s integration, since the model was based on well-delimited groups.
That theory has been challenged multiple times. For one thing, very few groups have been that well-integrated. The modern notion of “what The Romans were” comes from a biased view and a limited understanding of what went on at the time. In fact, an episode of the Entitled Opinions podcast contains useful discussions of the very issue.
Same thing can be said about a number of other societies, including contemporary ones.
And this is where things get interesting. We’re probably living a transition from a period marked by the Nation-State (19th and 20th Centuries) to a period marked by fluid groupings, including social networks.
In the Nation-State (contemporary Somalia and Japan, along with the fiction of 19th Century France and possibly a short period of time in Ancient Rome), ethnic homogeneity is presumed and ethnicity is managed through a very complex bureaucratic system related to citizenship. The way ethnic groups are treated then is based on what Benedict Anderson called “Imagined Communities”.
In more fluid systems, which include most of human history, diversity is taken for granted and social integration comes from other dimensions of social life.
In the current context, we have an unusual mixture of rigid Nation-State identities in parallel with the reality of transnationalism, postnationalism, Globalization, and blurred boundaries.
So, to answer the question: is it so clear what the limits of the group are? If so, what are those limits based on? If not, why would diversity be a problem?
For those interested in fluid boundaries, a classic work is Norwegian anthropologist Fredrik Barth’s “Ethnic Groups and Boundaries”.

My Problem With Journalism
November 25, 2008 dispar 12 Comments
I hate having an axe to grind. Really, I do. “It’s unlike me.” When I notice that I catch myself grinding an axe, I “get on my own case.” I can be quite harsh with my own self.
But I’ve been trained to voice my concerns. And I’ve been perceiving an important social problem for a while.
So I “can’t keep quiet about it.”
If everything goes really well, posting this blog entry might be liberating enough that I will no longer have any axe to grind. Even if it doesn’t go as well as I hope, it’ll be useful to keep this post around so that people can understand my position.
Because I don’t necessarily want people to agree with me. I mostly want them to understand “where I come from.”
So, here goes:
Journalism may have outlived its usefulness.
Like several other “-isms” (including nationalism, colonialism, imperialism, and racism) journalism is counterproductive in the current state of society.
This isn’t an ethical stance, though there are ethical positions which go with it. It’s a statement about the anachronic nature of journalism. As per functional analysis, everything in society needs a function if it is to be maintained. What has been known as journalism is now taking new functions. Eventually, “journalism as we know it” should, logically, make way for new forms.
What these new forms might be, I won’t elaborate in this post. I have multiple ideas, especially given well-publicised interests in social media. But this post isn’t about “the future of journalism.”
It’s about the end of journalism.
Or, at least, my looking forward to the end of journalism.
Now, I’m not saying that journalists are bad people and that they should just lose their jobs. I do think that those who were trained as journalists need to retool themselves, but this post isn’t not about that either.
It’s about an axe I’ve been grinding.
See, I can admit it, I’ve been making some rather negative comments about diverse behaviours and statements, by media people. It has even become a habit of mine to allow myself to comment on something a journalist has said, if I feel that there is an issue.
Yes, I know: journalists are people too, they deserve my respect.
And I do respect them, the same way I respect every human being. I just won’t give them the satisfaction of my putting them on a pedestal. In my mind, journalists are people: just like anybody else. They deserve no special treatment. And several of them have been arrogant enough that I can’t help turning their arrogance back to them.
Still, it’s not about journalist as people. It’s about journalism “as an occupation.” And as a system. An outdated system.
Speaking of dates, some context…
I was born in 1972 and, originally,I was quite taken by journalism.
By age twelve, I was pretty much a news junkie. Seriously! I was “consuming” a lot of media at that point. And I was “into” media. Mostly television and radio, with some print mixed in, as well as lots of literary work for context: this is when I first read French and Russian authors from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
I kept thinking about what was happening in The World. Back in 1984, the Cold War was a major issue. To a French-Canadian tween, this mostly meant thinking about the fact that there were (allegedly) US and USSR “bombs pointed at us,” for reasons beyond our direct control.
“Caring about The World” also meant thinking about all sorts of problems happening across The Globe. Especially poverty, hunger, diseases, and wars. I distinctly remember caring about the famine in Ethiopia. And when We Are the World started playing everywhere, I felt like something was finally happening.
This was one of my first steps toward cynicism. And I’m happy it occured at age twelve because it allowed me to eventually “snap out of it.” Oh, sure, I can still be a cynic on occasion. But my cynicism is contextual. I’m not sure things would have been as happiness-inducing for me if it hadn’t been for that early start in cynicism.
Because, you see, The World disinterested itself quite rapidly with the plight of Ethiopians. I distinctly remember asking myself, after the media frenzy died out, what had happened to Ethiopians in the meantime. I’m sure there has been some report at the time claiming that the famine was over and that the situation was “back to normal.” But I didn’t hear anything about it, and I was looking. As a twelve-year-old French-Canadian with no access to a modem, I had no direct access to information about the situation in Ethiopia.
Ethiopia still remained as a symbol, to me, of an issue to be solved. It’s not the direct cause of my later becoming an africanist. But, come to think of it, there might be a connection, deeper down than I had been looking.
So, by the end of the Ethiopian famine of 1984-85, I was “losing my faith in” journalism.
I clearly haven’t gained a new faith in journalism. And it all makes me feel quite good, actually. I simply don’t need that kind of faith. I was already training myself to be a critical thinker. Sounds self-serving? Well, sorry. I’m just being honest. What’s a blog if the author isn’t honest and genuine?
Flash forward to 1991, when I started formal training in anthropology. The feeling was exhilarating. I finally felt like I belonged. My statement at the time was to the effect that “I wasn’t meant for anthropology: anthropology was meant for me!” And I was learning quite a bit about/from The World. At that point, it already did mean “The Whole Wide World,” even though my knowledge of that World was fairly limited. And it was a haven of critical thinking.
Ideal, I tell you. Moan all you want, it felt like the ideal place at the ideal time.
And, during the summer of 1993, it all happened: I learnt about the existence of the “Internet.” And it changed my life. Seriously, the ‘Net did have a large part to play in important changes in my life.
That event, my discovery of the ‘Net, also has a connection to journalism. The person who described the Internet to me was Kevin Tuite, one of my linguistic anthropology teachers at Université de Montréal. As far as I can remember, Kevin was mostly describing Usenet. But the potential for “relatively unmediated communication” was already a big selling point. Kevin talked about the fact that members of the Caucasian diaspora were able to use the Internet to discuss with their relatives and friends back in the Caucasus about issues pertaining to these independent republics after the fall of the USSR. All this while media coverage was sketchy at best (sounded like journalism still had a hard time coping with the new realities).
As you can imagine, I was more than intrigued and I applied for an account as soon as possible. In the meantime, I bought at 2400 baud modem, joined some local BBSes, and got to chat about the Internet with several friends, some of whom already had accounts. Got my first email account just before semester started, in August, 1993. I can still see traces of that account, but only since April, 1994 (I guess I wasn’t using my address in my signature before this). I’ve been an enthusiastic user of diverse Internet-based means of communication since then.
But coming back to journalism, specifically…
Journalism missed the switch.
During the past fifteen years, I’ve been amazed at how clueless members of mainstream media institutions have been to “the power of the Internet.” This was during Wired Magazine’s first year as a print magazine and we (some friends and I) were already commenting upon the fact that print journalists should look at what was coming. Eventually, they would need to adapt. “The Internet changes everything,” I thought.
No, I didn’t mean that the Internet would cause any of the significant changes that we have seeing around us. I tend to be against technological determinism (and other McLuhan tendencies). Not that I prefer sociological determinism yet I can’t help but think that, from ARPAnet to the current state of the Internet, most of the important changes have been primarily social: if the Internet became something, it’s because people are making it so, not because of some inexorable technological development.
My enthusiastic perspective on the Internet was largely motivated by the notion that it would allow people to go beyond the model from the journalism era. Honestly, I could see the end of “journalism as we knew it.” And I’m surprised, fifteen years later, that journalism has been among the slowest institutions to adapt.
In a sense, my main problem with journalism is that it maintains a very stratified structure which gives too much weight to the credibility of specific individuals. Editors and journalists, who are part of the “medium” in the old models of communication, have taken on a gatekeeping role despite the fact that they rarely are much more proficient thinkers than people who read them. “Gatekeepers” even constitute a “textbook case” in sociology, especially in conflict theory. Though I can easily perceive how “constructed” that gatekeeping model may be, I can easily relate to what it entails in terms of journalism.
There’s a type of arrogance embedded in journalistic self-perception: “we’re journalists/editors so we know better than you; you need us to process information for you.” Regardless of how much I may disagree with some of his words and actions, I take solace in the fact that Murdoch, a key figure in today’s mainstream media, talked directly at this arrogance. Of course, he might have been pandering. But the very fact that he can pay lip-service to journalistic arrogance is, in my mind, quite helpful.
I think the days of fully stratified gatekeeping (a “top-down approach” to information filtering) are over. Now that information is easily available and that knowledge is constructed socially, any “filtering” method can be distributed. I’m not really thinking of a “cream rises to the top” model. An analogy with water sources going through multiple layers of mountain rock would be more appropriate to a Swiss citizen such as myself. But the model I have in mind is more about what Bakhtin called “polyvocality” and what has become an ethical position on “giving voice to the other.” Journalism has taken voice away from people. I have in mind a distributed mode of knowledge construction which gives everyone enough voice to have long-distance effects.
At the risk of sounding too abstract (it’s actually very clear in my mind, but it requires a long description), it’s a blend of ideas like: the social butterfly effect, a post-encyclopedic world, and cultural awareness. All of these, in my mind, contribute to this heightened form of critical thinking away from which I feel journalism has led us.
The social butterfly effect is fairly easy to understand, especially now that social networks are so prominent. Basically, the “butterfly effect” from chaos theory applied to social networks. In this context, a “social butterfly” is a node in multiple networks of varying degrees of density and clustering. Because such a “social butterfly” can bring things (ideas, especially) from one such network to another, I argue that her or his ultimate influence (in agregate) is larger than that of someone who sits at the core of a highly clustered network. Yes, it’s related to “weak ties” and other network classics. But it’s a bit more specific, at least in my mind. In terms of journalism, the social butterfly effect implies that the way knowledge is constructed needs not come from a singular source or channel.
The “encyclopedic world” I have in mind is that of our good friends from the French Enlightenment: Diderot and the gang. At that time, there was a notion that the sum of all knowledge could be contained in the Encyclopédie. Of course, I’m simplifying. But such a notion is still discussed fairly frequently. The world in which we now live has clearly challenged this encyclopedic notion of exhaustiveness. Sure, certain people hold on to that notion. But it’s not taken for granted as “uncontroversial.” Actually, those who hold on to it tend to respond rather positively to the journalistic perspective on human events. As should be obvious, I think the days of that encyclopedic worldview are counted and that “journalism as we know it” will die at the same time. Though it seems to be built on an “encyclopedia” frame, Wikipedia clearly benefits from distributed model of knowledge management. In this sense, Wikipedia is less anachronistic than Britannica. Wikipedia also tends to be more insightful than Britannica.
The cultural awareness point may sound like an ethnographer’s pipe dream. But I perceive a clear connection between Globalization and a certain form of cultural awareness in information and knowledge management. This is probably where the Global Voices model can come in. One of the most useful representations of that model comes from a Chris Lydon’s Open Source conversation with Solana Larsen and Ethan Zuckerman. Simply put, I feel that this model challenges journalism’s ethnocentrism.
Obviously, I have many other things to say about journalism (as well as about its corrolate, nationalism).
But I do feel liberated already. So I’ll leave it at that.

Coffee, Globalisation, "Race"
September 11, 2006 dispar Leave a comment
I’m usually a bit careful before jumping on the soapbox, but this is quite interesting. It’s from the blog for Black Gold, a documentary about the global coffee market.
The Trials of Daryl Hunt deals with national racism in the US justice system and [Black Gold] deals with the globalised racism maintained through a rigged international economy that undermines any sense of economic justice for the developing world, in particular Africa
Heard about Black Gold on the CoffeeGeek podcast. Haven’t seen the movie yet but comments about it in that podcast make it to be a powerful movie about the plight of coffee farmers, but with some flaws. The point remains (and is well-made by CoffeeGeek Senior Editor Mark Prince) that this story needs to be told, that people need to realise what is going on.
Usually, “Black Gold” refers to petroleum more directly than to coffee. Interestingly enough, coffee is (as coffee people are fond of saying) the second most-traded commodity after oil. And brewed coffee is usually black, or at least dark. So the title seems fitting, if a bit ambiguous. Going further with that stream of consciousness, we can think about skin colour and skin tone, which are used to identify “racial” groups by some people. It might have been on the minds of the documentary’s producers, as they do mention Africa and racism.
This in a context in which some people seem to think that Africa’s economic status relates more indirectly to internal politics, lack of business acumen, and kinship (i.e., Africans themselves) than to global trade or politics. We definitely need a broad discussion of the “Dark Continent” stereotype. And, yes, we do need to touch upon the issue of racism. It’s there and it has a deep impact on the world in which we all live.
Food for thought? Thought for food.

These three junctions are in the vicinity of Rugby, where DHL – KFC’s recently appointed logistics company and only warehouse is located. With the DHL lorries stuck in the traffic as soon as they left the depot, and no other locations to send deliveries from, the delays that would lead to the KFC chicken shortage began here.
How the Electricity Distribution Networks Perform for Customer Service on Twitter
There are 14 licensed distribution network operators (DNOs) and each is responsible for a regional distribution services area. The 14 DNOs are owned by six different businesses made up of Western Power Distribution, UK Power Networks, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, Electricity Northwest, SP Energy Networks and Northern Powergrid, all of which provide real-time support to customers on social media.
During the cold British winter many people can experience unplanned and unexpected loss of power to their properties and businesses. Without properly planning or knowledge of what to do in the event of a power cut, people can be left feeling helpless and inconvenienced. While traditional forms of offline channels are available to the public to report a power cut, this can be often inaccessible, and time consuming to use whilst also costly to provide.
Now, with the increasing popularity in smartphone usage and availability of more convenient access to direct social messaging channels, more and more people are using the power of real time social messaging channels like Twitter to contact their electricity provider, report and receive updates on the status of power cuts in their area.
The Electricity Distribution Networks provide a very high standard of emergency response, customer service and community engagement across social media, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In an effort to raise the profile of the great work these teams provide to their customers around the clock, we decided to take a closer look into how the electricity distribution networks provide advice and support to customers over Twitter.

Experiencing an unexpected loss of power can be a stressful experience, leaving many people feeling unprepared and helpless. By making themselves available on real-time social media channels like Twitter, the Electricity Distribution Networks are able to provide customers a rapid response, at a lower cost than more traditional service channels.
The Electricity Distribution Networks offer a world class digital social customer service to customers over Twitter and for this they rank highly on the HelpHandles™ performance index.
However, given the significant investment and efforts in digital social customer service there is still a lack of information on the availability and quality of service via social media and the service levels customers can expect from the Electricity Distribution Networks.
In light of this, there is massive opportunity for the Electricity Distribution Networks to maximise their investment in customer service over Twitter. By using HelpHandles™ public profiles and performance dashboards the Electricity Distribution Networks can effectively monitor and benchmark their performance against industry standards and best-in-class companies while also providing their customers with a real-time customer service health status via their own dedicated HelpHandles™ public profiles and additional website integrations to help manage customer expectation, increase customer satisfaction and build better reputation for customer service on Twitter.

CHICAGO - Brendan Ryan scored on a wild pitch before John Ryan Murphy capped a two-run 13th inning with an RBI single, and the New York Yankees beat the Cubs 4-2 Wednesday after Chicago wasted another dominant start by Jeff Samardzija. Craig Conroy Jersey . New York scored two in the ninth against Hector Rondon to wipe out a 2-0 deficit. Samardzija pitched four-hit ball over seven innings. Ryan started the winning rally with a leadoff single against Jose Veras (0-1). Yangervis Solarte walked, and the runners moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Preston Claiborne (2-0) toward third. Ryan came home when Veras threw a pitch over Murphys head, and Murphy drove in Solarte with a single to right to make it 4-2. The Yankees had runners on second and third with two out when Derek Jeter grounded out to end the rally. Al MacInnis Jersey . Jimmy Howard made 44 saves and Henrik Zetterberg scored two goals, leading the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Saturday night. Joe Nieuwendyk Jersey . Rinehart joins safety Darrell Stuckey and linebacker Donald Butler as potential unrestricted free agents who are remaining with the team. http://www.flamessale.com/authentic-theoren-fleury-flames-jersey/ . Its like being on Broadway, everything you do matters. Id want to be good though! I couldnt play here if I wasnt very good. #83217388 / gettyimages.Patrick Roy will no doubt get a positive reception from the Bell Centre crowd on Tuesday night ahead of the Colorado Avalanches game versus the hosting Montreal Canadiens. It will then be back to business once the puck drops as the two clubs battle for key points in their respective playoff races. Watch the game live on TSN Canadiens and listen on TSN Radio 690 starting at 7:30pm et. Roy, of course, was a third-round pick by the Canadiens franchise in the 1984 draft and spent his first 10-plus seasons with Montreal before his infamous trade to Colorado in December of 1995 after a fallout with then head coach Mario Tremblay. During his time with the Habs, Roy won a pair of Conn Smythe Trophies and Stanley Cup titles in 1986 and 1993. He also won two Cups and another Conn Smythe award with the Avalanche. Roy has since had his No. 33 jersey retired by the Canadiens and faced Montreal for the first time as a coach when the Avalanche picked up a 4-1 victory at home on Nov. 2. It was Colorados fourth straight win over the Habs and it has also won its past two in Montreal. Roy admitted after Sundays win over the Ottawa Senators that he hadnt been looking ahead to this matchup. "Now Im going to think about it, but before that I was not really focusing on this," said Roy. "Ive been talking to our players that I want a partnership with them. I want us to focus on what we have to do every night and take it one day at a time. I have to do the same thing as them. "I have a lot of respect for the Montreal organization and I have a lot of respect for the fans in Montreal. They were a big part of my career, my 10 years there (were) outstanding, and now that were going to play them Im just going to try and approach it as a hockey game." The big storyline for both clubs isnt the reunion as much as the chase for playoff positioning. Colorado is second in the Central Division with 93 points, one ahead of the Chicago Blackhawks and eight back of the St. Louis Blues. Montreal, meanwhile, is tied for second in the Atlantic Division with the Tampa Bay Lightning, a distant 16 points behind the Boston Bruins. However, the Canadiens also are only one point ahead of the fourth-place Toronto Maple Leafs. Habs goaltender Carey Price said on Monday that the club needs to focus on the game and not the return of Roy. Lanny McDonald Jersey. "(He) is obviously a special player, when it comes to this franchise. But at the end of the day its not about that. Its about our team versus theirs on the ice and right now were in desperation mode trying to pick up points," said Price, though he did admit that Roy was one of his favorite goaltenders. "He was the favorite among many in my generation. Its pretty exciting to have the opportunity to play against him, indirectly I guess." Price missed Montreals first eight games after the Winter Olympic break having suffered a lower-body injury while helping lead Canada to a second straight gold medal. He finally returned to action on Saturday in a 5-4 overtime win against the Ottawa Senators, then did not make his clubs trip to Buffalo to get extra rest. Instead, Dustin Tokarski played in his 10th NHL game and notched a 29-save shutout, the first of his career, in a 2-0 win over the Sabres. He helped Montreal to its second straight win following a three-game slide. "The main thing is the two points," Tokarski said. "It was just a little icing on the cake with the shutout." Dale Weise and Brendan Gallagher scored the goals for the Habs. Price will get the start tonight and is 0-2-1 with a 3.61 goals against average versus the Avalanche. Backup netminder Jean- Sebastien Giguere will get the start for the Avs in what may be his last game played in his home town. The Montreal-born Giguere is 8-3-1 against the Canadiens with a 2.49 GAA. Colorado has won seven of its last nine and notched a 3-1 triumph over Ottawa on Sunday. Andre Benoit, Nick Holden and John Mitchell supplied the goals and Semyon Varlamov made 38 saves. Varlamov came within six seconds of a shutout before getting beat on a one- time blast from the point by Ottawas Mika Zibanejad. "He played so well ... The guys wanted to get the shutout for (Varlamov), but they made a great play," said Roy. Forward Matt Duchene collected two assists as Colorado played a fourth game in a row without Paul Stastny due to a back issue.

The 2020 Mac Mini Unleashed: Putting Apple Silicon M1 To The Test
by Andrei Frumusanu on November 17, 2020 9:00 AM EST
Apple Silicon M1: Recap, Power Consumption Benchmarks: Whatever Is Available M1 GPU Performance: Integrated King, Discrete Rival SPEC2006 & 2017: Industry Standard - ST Performance SPEC2017 - Multi-Core Performance Rosetta2: x86-64 Translation Performance Conclusion & First Impressions
Last week, Apple made industry news by announcing new Mac products based upon the company’s new Apple Silicon M1 SoC chip, marking the first move of a planned 2-year roadmap to transition over from Intel-based x86 CPUs to the company’s own in-house designed microprocessors running on the Arm instruction set.
During the launch we had prepared an extensive article based on the company’s already related Apple A14 chip, found in the new generation iPhone 12 phones. This includes a rather extensive microarchitectural deep-dive into Apple’s new Firestorm cores which power both the A14 as well as the new Apple Silicon M1, I would recommend a read if you haven’t had the opportunity yet:
Apple Announces The Apple Silicon M1:
Ditching x86 - What to Expect, Based on A14
Since a few days, we’ve been able to get our hands on one of the first Apple Silicon M1 devices: the new Mac mini 2020 edition. While in our analysis article last week we had based our numbers on the A14, this time around we’ve measured the real performance on the actual new higher-power design. We haven’t had much time, but we’ll be bringing you the key datapoints relevant to the new Apple Silicon M1.
Apple Silicon M1: Firestorm cores at 3.2GHz & ~20-24W TDP?
During the launch event, one thing that was in Apple fashion typically missing from the presentation were actual details on the clock frequencies of the design, as well as its TDP which it can sustain at maximum performance.
We can confirm that in single-threaded workloads, Apple’s Firestorm cores now clock in at 3.2GHz, a 6.66% increase over the 3GHz frequency of the Apple A14. As long as there's thermal headroom, this clock also applies to all-core loads, with in addition to 4x 3.2GHz performance cores also seeing 4x Thunder efficiency cores at 2064MHz, also quite a lot higher than 1823MHz on the A14.
Alongside the four performance Firestorm cores, the M1 also includes four Icestorm cores which are aimed for low idle power and increased power efficiency for battery-powered operation. Both the 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores can be active in tandem, meaning that this is an 8-core SoC, although performance throughput across all the cores isn’t identical.
The biggest question during the announcement event was the power consumption of these designs. Apple had presented several charts including performance and power axes, however we lacked comparison data as to come to any proper conclusion.
As we had access to the Mac mini rather than a Macbook, it meant that power measurement was rather simple on the device as we can just hook up a meter to the AC input of the device. It’s to be noted with a huge disclaimer that because we are measuring AC wall power here, the power figures aren’t directly comparable to that of battery-powered devices, as the Mac mini’s power supply will incur a efficiency loss greater than that of other mobile SoCs, as well as TDP figures contemporary vendors such as Intel or AMD publish.
It’s especially important to keep in mind that the figure of what we usually recall as TDP in processors is actually only a subset of the figures presented here, as beyond just the SoC we’re also measuring DRAM and voltage regulation overhead, something which is not included in TDP figures nor your typical package power readout on a laptop.
Starting off with an idle Mac mini in its default state while sitting idle when powered on, while connected via HDMI to a 2560p144 monitor, Wi-Fi 6 and a mouse and keyboard, we’re seeing total device power at 4.2W. Given that we’re measuring AC power into the device which can be quite inefficient at low loads, this makes quite a lot of sense and represents an excellent figure.
This idle figure also serves as a baseline for following measurements where we calculate “active power”, meaning our usual methodology of taking total power measured and subtracting the idle power.
During average single-threaded workloads on the 3.2GHz Firestorm cores, such as GCC code compilation, we’re seeing device power go up to 10.5W with active power at around 6.3W. The active power figure is very much in line with what we would expect from a higher-clocked Firestorm core, and is extremely promising for Apple and the M1.
In workloads which are more DRAM heavy and thus incur a larger power penalty on the LPDDR4X-class 128-bit 16GB of DRAM on the Mac mini, we’re seeing active power go up to 10.5W. Already with these figures the new M1 is might impressive and showcases less than a third of the power of a high-end Intel mobile CPU.
In multi-threaded scenarios, power highly depends on the workload. In memory-heavy workloads where the CPU utilisation isn’t as high, we’re seeing 18W active power, going up to around 22W in average workloads, and peaking around 27W in compute heavy workloads. These figures are generally what you’d like to compare to “TDPs” of other platforms, although again to get an apples-to-apples comparison you’d need to further subtract some of the overhead as measured on the Mac mini here – my best guess would be a 20 to 24W range.
Finally, on the part of the GPU, we’re seeing a lower power consumption figure of 17.3W in GFXBench Aztec High. This would contain a larger amount of DRAM power, so the power consumption of Apple’s GPU is definitely extremely low-power, and far less than the peak power that the CPUs can draw.
Memory Differences
Besides the additional cores on the part of the CPUs and GPU, one main performance factor of the M1 that differs from the A14 is the fact that’s it’s running on a 128-bit memory bus rather than the mobile 64-bit bus. Across 8x 16-bit memory channels and at LPDDR4X-4266-class memory, this means the M1 hits a peak of 68.25GB/s memory bandwidth.
In terms of memory latency, we’re seeing a (rather expected) reduction compared to the A14, measuring 96ns at 128MB full random test depth, compared to 102ns on the A14.
Of further note is the 12MB L2 cache of the performance cores, although here it seems that Apple continues to do some partitioning as to how much as single core can use as we’re still seeing some latency uptick after 8MB.
The M1 also contains a large SLC cache which should be accessible by all IP blocks on the chip. We’re not exactly certain, but the test results do behave a lot like on the A14 and thus we assume this is a similar 16MB chunk of cache on the SoC, as some access patterns extend beyond that of the A14, which makes sense given the larger L2.
One aspect we’ve never really had the opportunity to test is exactly how good Apple’s cores are in terms of memory bandwidth. Inside of the M1, the results are ground-breaking: A single Firestorm achieves memory reads up to around 58GB/s, with memory writes coming in at 33-36GB/s. Most importantly, memory copies land in at 60 to 62GB/s depending if you’re using scalar or vector instructions. The fact that a single Firestorm core can almost saturate the memory controllers is astounding and something we’ve never seen in a design before.
Because one core is able to make use of almost the whole memory bandwidth, having multiple cores access things at the same time don’t actually increase the system bandwidth, but actually due to congestion lower the effective achieved aggregate bandwidth. Nevertheless, this 59GB/s peak bandwidth of one core is essentially also the speed at which memory copies happen, no matter the amount of active cores in the system, again, a great feat for Apple.
Beyond the clock speed increase, L2 increase, this memory boost is also very likely to help the M1 differentiate its performance beyond that of the A14, and offer up though competition against the x86 incumbents.

You must be smoking something really good. A7 was a 6-wide design while CA57 was only 3-wide. Cyclone also has 4/2/2/3 (Int/Branch/LS/NEON) units while A57 only had (2+1)/1/2/2. That's completerly different design. Reply

I was thinking of the A6 that was the first modification of ARM’s architecture and before that they were fundamentally copies. It’s not easy to remember which article of Anand Shimpi’s commentary I read 7 or 8 years ago. https://www.anandtech.com/show/6330/the-iphone-5-r... Reply

They are dumb if they pay for designs which they do not use. The instruction set must be cheaper, otherwise ARM got it the wrong way.
It's like saying that the cost of food at a groceries store is higher than the complete meal at the restaurant. Reply
michael2k - Thursday, November 19, 2020 - link
It's actually more accurate to say, "Paying for the time of the restaurant's menu designer costs more than either the groceries or the meal"
With an architectural license, they get access to to a specification, which is closer to a menu, recipes, and a shopping list, than a meal or groceries. Reply
No helios24 is INCORRECT. It's the top of the licensing for sure, but it also doesn't include any hard IP. It's the broadest in use case as you can do ANYTHING with it as long as you are ISA compliant. But it's also the narrowest in terms of ARM IP portfolio. For example Huwwei still hold ARM architectural license and can design their own ARM cores, but they don't have access to anything newer than CA77 because that's a different license.
Architectual license is also the cheapest *once you have certain volume*. The initial licensing fee is high, BUT you don't pay much royalty on a per-core basis becase you don't use ARM IP other than ISA. Reply
Maybe this will help you understand more. The top of the pyrimid actually don't have access to ARM's standard IP portfolio at all.
https://semiaccurate.com/2013/08/07/a-long-look-at... Reply
The article here contradicts you: https://semiaccurate.com/2013/08/07/a-long-look-at...
On top of the pyramid is both the highest cost and lowest licensee count option, but those two factors are probably not directly related. The reason is this one is called an architectural license and you don’t actually get a core, you get a set of specs for a core and a compatibility test suite. Reply

"ARM was founded as a joint venture between Apple and Acorn."
No. ARM was founded by Acorn spinning out its inhouse developed ARM chip as a separate company. Apple bought in later as an investment, and to prevent take overs that might threaten its Newton product. Reply
Ppietra - Friday, November 27, 2020 - link
ARM was really founded as a joint venture between Apple, Acorn and another company.
The technology behind it was based on technology from Acorn, but the company was established as a joint venture to develop the processor for Newton. That was the objective for the company creation. Reply

Webinar: Beyond the Billboard
Sally Mann and Alan Roxburgh Winter 2018
The Beyond the Billboard webinar was shared with a panel and ‘chat’ participants on 17th January. Sally Mann and Alan Roxburgh lead the conversation, keeping a hopeful focus on what God is doing beyond the billboard. For them the billboard is a manufactured thing, a commodity, and it may mask a beautiful view beyond. Sally and Alan wonder if we have tended to treat our churches and our faith as a kind of billboard. There are brands and programmes and ideas, but these are beginning to feel manufactured. They are losing their credibility even as we expend energy trying to improve them. But there is in our culture a hunger for substance, for relationships in community where God is active. How do we respond to this hunger when our imaginations are so captured by the billboard, church ‘business as usual’? For Alan and Sally part of the answer is through a faithful, listening vulnerability in the neighbourhood. (See the video at 4.00-10.30 mins.)
In this webinar Sally shared a couple of stories about what this may look like, from her life as a Baptist minister in a deprived community. She explained that their church nativity this year was developed and performed among the children of their wider multicultural multi-faith community. This unconventional context shed a fresh light on over familiar stories for the church and others. The presence of surprising outsiders (magi, shepherds) in the gospel stories was shown up in sharp relief by the diverse cast including a Muslim Angel Gabriel! Recontextualizing scripture in another setting, Sally’s church has a practice of “cooking’’ sermons through conversations about bible stories with their food bank community. New insights emerge from this group who have not met these stories before, but who have met poverty and oppression. In these sort of encounters, Sally finds that the faith community meets with the gospel in a way which is fresh and transforming- both inside and outside of the church. (Video at 10.30-21.00 mins.)
Sally’s church have recently been focusing on the stories of Acts of the Apostles which repeatedly show an outsider (Cornelius, the Ethiopian eunuch, Lydia) confounding expectations and shifting the direction of mission. Alan and Sally wondered how we attend to these outsiders, and who we are missing in our conversations. (Video at 21.00-25.00 mins.)
From this point in the webinar, questions began to emerge from online participants. One questioner raised the problem of ‘buy-in’ from members of a congregation used to more inward-looking models of pastoral care. A further question raised the difficulty of congregations who live outside the location of the church. In response to these questions, Sally and Alan took up the language of ‘rebirthing’ from a participant. They agreed that the shift required for the church is that fundamental. Alan and Martin Robinson in their forthcoming book will be using the language of refounding the church.[1] (Video at 25.00-35.00 mins.)
Refounding or rebirthing must be earthed realities so part of a response to this level of challenge would be practices of engagement with the neighbourhood, and for this to be experienced by leaders before any attempt to steer change in a congregation. Alan described his experience with a small learning community of clergy who committed to a set of practices to help them connect locally. They were invited into a rhythm of prayer, local conversations and into discovering the stories of both congregation and neighbor to discern God at work. For some of them this was a profoundly disorientating experience. (Video at 35.00-41.00 mins.)
A webinar participant raised a question about keeping a distinct Christian ethos when, in a ministry situation, non-Christians outnumber Christians. A discussion followed both on the panel, Sally and Alan, and in the webinar ‘chat’. Sally felt an authentic Christian presence would be transforming, ‘salty’, in any sort of minority. The Holy Spirit is active in the lives of Christians. But Martin Robinson noted that a Christian ethos has been lost from many organizations in the UK. For Alan, speaking from North America, our Christian identity as a community of salt has been fundamentally lost. Our shaping practices have been about the ‘billboard’. Congregations of like-minded people gathering intermittently in a place will not act as salt. What practices are needed to form the authentic Christian presence which Sally mentioned? (Video at 41.00-47.00 mins.)
For the last part of the webinar, Sara Jane Walker, the webinar host, brought the conversation back to the question of refounding. How do we press into this? Alan laid out a response in concrete terms: a church community for a walkable area (a parish), dwelling there, acting as guest and host in its neighbourhood, learning to listen to the ‘other’ and to discern what God is doing. (Video at 47.00 to 54.00 mins.)
Sally and Alan contrasted this ‘beyond the billboard’ life, with the church of the billboard. The church of the billboard has professionalized and privatized Christianity. This church provides a service to augment personal spiritual experience. Beyond the billboard, in the parish, the church takes responsibility for practical and social concerns. It has an Isaiah vision and a public role. It may be small but it will be covenanted to its life within the neighbourhood. There will be a need for new leaders with fresh insight for this refounding for it is an Abraham and Sarah journey. We are called away from the familiar, to a moment by moment dependence on God, on our way to an unknown destination, but not alone. (Video at 54.00 to 62.00 mins.)

Bazaar Architectural Overview¶
This document describes the key classes and concepts within Bazaar. It is intended to be useful to people working on the Bazaar codebase, or to people writing plugins.
If you have any questions, or if something seems to be incorrect, unclear or missing, please talk to us in irc://irc.freenode.net/#bzr, or write to the Bazaar mailing list. To propose a correction or addition to this document, send a merge request or new text to the mailing list.
The current version of this document is available in the file doc/developers/overview.txt in the source tree, and available online within the developer documentation, <http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/developers/>.
Essential Domain Classes¶
The core domain objects within the bazaar model are:
WorkingTree
Transports are explained below. See http://bazaar-vcs.org/Classes/ for an introduction to the other key classes.
Transport¶
The Transport layer handles access to local or remote directories. Each Transport object acts as a logical connection to a particular directory, and it allows various operations on files within it. You can clone a transport to get a new Transport connected to a subdirectory or parent directory.
Transports are not used for access to the working tree. At present working trees are always local and they are accessed through the regular Python file I/O mechanisms.
Filenames vs URLs¶
Transports work in terms of URLs. Take note that URLs are by definition only ASCII - the decision of how to encode a Unicode string into a URL must be taken at a higher level, typically in the Store. (Note that Stores also escape filenames which cannot be safely stored on all filesystems, but this is a different level.)
The main reason for this is that it’s not possible to safely roundtrip a URL into Unicode and then back into the same URL. The URL standard gives a way to represent non-ASCII bytes in ASCII (as %-escapes), but doesn’t say how those bytes represent non-ASCII characters. (They’re not guaranteed to be UTF-8 – that is common but doesn’t happen everywhere.)
For example, if the user enters the URL http://example/%e0, there’s no way to tell whether that character represents “latin small letter a with grave” in iso-8859-1, or “latin small letter r with acute” in iso-8859-2, or malformed UTF-8. So we can’t convert the URL to Unicode reliably.
Equally problematic is if we’re given a URL-like string containing (unescaped) non-ASCII characters (such as the accented a). We can’t be sure how to convert that to a valid (i.e. ASCII-only) URL, because we don’t know what encoding the server expects for those characters. (Although it is not totally reliable, we might still accept these and assume that they should be put into UTF-8.)
A similar edge case is that the URL http://foo/sweet%2Fsour contains one directory component whose name is “sweet/sour”. The escaped slash is not a directory separator, but if we try to convert the URL to a regular Unicode path, this information will be lost.
This implies that Transports must natively deal with URLs. For simplicity they only deal with URLs; conversion of other strings to URLs is done elsewhere. Information that Transports return, such as from list_dir, is also in the form of URL components.
Repository¶
Repositories store committed history: file texts, revisions, inventories, and graph relationships between them.
Stacked Repositories¶
A repository can be configured to refer to a list of “fallback” repositories. If a particular revision is not present in the original repository, it refers the query to the fallbacks.
Compression deltas don’t span physical repository boundaries. So the first commit to a new, empty repository with fallback repositories will store a full text of the inventory, and of every new file text.
At runtime, repository stacking is actually configured by the branch, not the repository. So doing a_bzrdir.open_repository() gets you just the single physical repository, while a_bzrdir.open_branch().repository gets one configured with a stacking. Therefore, to permanently change the fallback repository stored on disk, you must use Branch.set_stacked_on_url.
Changing away from an existing stacked-on URL will copy across any necessary history so that the repository remains usable.
A repository opened from an HPSS server is never stacked on the server side, because this could cause complexity or security problems with the server acting as a proxy for the client. Instead, the branch on the server exposes the stacked-on URL and the client can open that.

Volcano's eruption spurs evacuations, closes airport
By the CNN Wire Staff
Picture released by Ecuadorean Army of the Tungurahua volcano as it is seen erupting.
NEW: Guayaquil Airport closed until Saturday afternoon
Emergency agency: No deaths, injuries reported, no more evacuations planned
Tungurahua volcano has erupted periodically since 1999
(CNN) -- Lava and ash from Ecuador's Tungurahua volcano forced the closure of Guayaquil Airport until Saturday afternoon, an airport spokesman said Friday.
The glacier-capped, 16,478-foot (5,023-meter) volcano has erupted periodically since 1999, with major eruptions occurring in August 2006 and February 2008, the government's emergency management agency said.
Officials evacuated the towns of Cusua and Juive Grande in central Ecuador, the emergency agency said, but no injuries or fatalities had been reported. No further evacuations were planned, the agency said.
Death toll climbs from Guatemala eruption
The eruption sent a large ash cloud into the air, the Geophysical Institute of Peru said. The height could not be determined because of cloudiness in the area.

Before the long-term eruption beginning in 1999 that caused the temporary evacuation of the city of Banos at the foot of the volcano, the last major eruption had occurred from 1916 to 1918, and minor activity continued until 1925, the Smithsonian Institution said on its volcano Web site.
The volcano is 87 miles (140 km) south of Quito, the nation's capital.
Tungurahua means "throat of fire" in the native Quechua language.
It was the second volcanic eruption reported in Latin America in the past few days. The Pacaya volcano erupted Thursday in Guatemala, killing at least three people.

Algeria’s Govt, Protesters Mobilize Ahead Of Constitutional Referendum
Algerians are being urged to vote yes to a new constitution in a November 1 referendum the government has touted as the foundation for a new state.
President Abdelmadjed Tebboune has said the new constitution, will usher in greater freedoms and democracy.
But opinion is divided. Algeria’s protest movement which forced veteran ruler Abdelaziz Bouteflika out of power has called for a boycott of the vote and rejects the authority of Tebboune.
The new constitution would give the prime minister and parliament more powers to govern the North African country of 45 million people, a draft released earlier this year showed.
Algeria’s protest movement has opposed the vote, calling for an overhaul of the country’s political system.
The country’s constitution has been amended several times since independence from France. During the 20-year Bouteflika era, it had been drafted to suit the ex-ruler’s needs. Other critics of the draft constitution say it maintains a powerful presidency and military while undermining the judiciary and parliament as watchdog institutions

History of Napraforgó street
Establishment of the housing estate
Building contractors: Fejér and Dános
Residents and houses
Historic monument status
Place in the world
Introduction of houses
The company Fejér and Dános started to sell the houses of the estate in plan status. This solution gave possibility for the owners requesting some modifications from the architects. For example, in the case of Napraforgó street 17. (originally 19.) the owners asked to place the ground-floor terrace on the rear, towards the Ördögárok, instead of the street front as originally planned.
Modified ground-plan of Napraforgó street 17. (original number: 19.)
Similar modifications happened in the case of several houses, thus re-designing and re-licensing became necessary which delayed the start of the building.
The houses of Napraforgó street were finished in record time, 6-8 months (between February and October 1931). In accordance with the common intention of the architects and builders, the most up-to-date materials and accessories were used for the construction. Most of the houses were built with reinforced concrete slab. One of the new materials used was the cavernous diatomite block of 28 cm width which has low weight and excellent thermo-insulation capacity. This material was primarily used for building partitions and insulating the flat roofs.
The houses of the street were of different colours. Some of the designers used willingly high colours to paint the walls or enhance some details of the buildings.
In each house the maid’s room and the laundry room were beside the kitchen. As the use of cars was not current at that time, in the case of only two houses garage was a garage planned which was the integral part of the building. Complementary buildings (wood shed, separate garage) could not be built in the gardens.
The external doors and windows were made of good-quality, weatherproof pine with high resin content. Several houses were built with metal or wood sash windows which were at that time a novelty. There were also examples for many-winged foldaway sash windows, which made possible to open the window in its whole width.
The large windows and corner windows advanced the connection with the environment. In many cases the windows were amended with wooden roll-up shutters. The shutter boxes opened from the inside and formed an integral unit with the door and window cases. The straps used for moving the shutters were covered by copper shields.
Central warm-water heating, air heating or traditional tile stoves were used for heating. In the case of air heating, the warm air was led into the rooms and the cooled air back to the heat exchanger through air channels. The boilers were placed in the cellars.
The internal doors were usually of four-unit cassette structure. Winged glass-panelled doors were used by choice to separate rooms.
It was general to furnish the houses with built-in wardrobes which opened by sliding doors in many cases.
The houses were outfitted with porcelain light switches and lamp sockets. The power outlets were hidden under the tapestry and received glass armours.
The external lamps on the walls were also made of porcelain, with white milk-glass bells.
In the majority of the houses the wooden steps were covered by carpet fixed by copper bars.
The door and window handles, the spacers of the windows and the latches of the bathrooms were uniformly made of copper.
The uniform street view was advantaged in large by the uniform fence of the houses: 130 cm height, concrete footing, concrete separating columns, wooden fence rods with square transsection rotated by 45 degree. The fence gates were also made of wood, with the same pattern. There was a concrete lamppost with identical iron lamps at the corner of every second house. The pavement was covered with uniform tiles containing basalt grains.

Permaculture club
In Community development, Environment, The Age on December 8, 2008
First published in The Age
An Australian community group is putting the backyard at the forefront of environmental change.
The yard is swarming with straw hats. It is a sunny day and people are working hard. A handsome, muscular man in khaki is wielding a pickaxe. As soon as I see him I think of Jamie Durie, but there’s no TV crew here.
This isn’t Backyard Blitz, it’s a permablitz. This is how it works: an enthusiastic group of volunteers come to your house and donate equipment, plants and seeds. They work with you to transform your garden into an organic food-producing Eden. You don’t even have to supply lunch – they’ll bring that, too.
Permablitz is a catchy contraction of permaculture and backyard blitz. Basically, it’s a good old-fashioned working bee with a twist.
Today we are attacking Fiona and Anthony’s place in Heidelberg West, outer suburban Melbourne. The house is square, smallish and rendered in cream, with a corrugated-iron roof. There is a soccer field bordering it on one side, from where a few large gums overlook the fence. There are vegie patches in the front yard. The backyard is open, grassy and strewn with debris.
Fiona looks at her lawn and says, “It’s just a mess.” She’s right. There are mounds of gravel and dirt and plastic. Newspapers are soaking in a green frog pond and a shed is in pieces against the wall. The washing is still on the Hills Hoist.
The first blitz was held more than 18 months ago for Vilma, a 70-year-old El Salvadorian woman. “It was a beautiful day,” says Permablitz founder Dan Palmer. “When we arrived there was a small plot of lawn and when we left it was garden. A year later, it’s still pumping and it’s brought a lot of joy.”
It all came about when Palmer crossed paths with a South American community group in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs.
Young environmental skill met with co-operative spirit and, since then, permablitzes have been held all over the city. For now, Palmer does much of the organisation, but there’s a website where people can find information and organise their own blitzes.
“It would be nice if it became kind of viral,” he says. And his wish could be coming true – the blitzing bug recently spread to backyards in Sydney and New Zealand.
According to the website, a blitz aims to create or add to edible gardens; share skills about permaculture and sustainable living; build community networks; and have fun.
“Permaculture is a way of designing the places we live to be sustainable, diverse and abundant by working with nature rather than fighting against it,” Palmer says. “It covers every aspect of a healthy sustainable life: food, water, waste, shelter, local community and economy – you name it.”
A well-designed, efficient garden can provide lots of food using fewer resources than typically go into supermarket produce. So growing your own vegies is a practical response to environmental problems such as climate change.
A few weeks prior to each blitz there is a planning day, where the owners and volunteers come up with a design for the garden.
Today, there’s a wish list of tasks posted next to an old bath tub. We are going to build more garden beds and put a pond in the front yard. One shed is to be moved to the backyard and another erected for a fox-proof chook pen.
“The plans change every hour on the hour,” Anthony tells me as debate rages over where to put the shed. I wander to the front yard and bump into a lengthy discussion over whether to buy a pond liner or to use a decaying green wading pool.
All is resolved by the time we tuck into pesto, tabouli and salad, brought by the volunteers. While we eat, Fiona tells us about her grey-water system and her long-term plans for the garden. Palmer checks the wish list: things are looking good. We are well-fed, inspired and enthusiastic to continue work.
Volunteers come and go as the afternoon progresses. But exactly who are they? Fiona confides that she knows only “about 10 per cent” of the people filling her yard. “I couldn’t have got this many people if I’d paid them,” Anthony tells me.
Initially, Palmer says, there were more people from the South American community, but the demographic has changed as blitzes move around different suburbs. People in their 20s are the majority, but there are people of all ages. Many of the regulars have completed a permaculture design course and are keen to put their new-found skills into practice.
But not only people who’ve studied permaculture come along. Others just think it’s a great idea and are interested in learning about gardening. Tanya, a budding documentary filmmaker and permablitz veteran, is one of those. She tells me that she loves the sense of community, skill-sharing and cross-generational support.
At the end of the day, the wish list hasn’t quite been fulfilled. The pond and garden beds are finished. The chook shed is up but roofless and the other shed remains unmoved. Despite this, Fiona is thrilled with the progress. “It’s just the beginning…but we’ve done so much. It would have taken ages to do all this by ourselves.”
Fiona and Anthony aren’t the only ones who are excited. With environmental issues entrenched as front-page news, Palmer says that interest in permaculture is growing exponentially. “Right now, there are a lot of really fired-up people getting involved.”
So, keep your green thumbs at the ready: a blitz could be coming to a backyard near you.
Australians Bill Mollison and David Holmgren coined the term “permaculture” (short for both permanent agriculture and permanent culture) in 1978, in their book Permaculture One. They spelt out a revolutionary food production theory, in which growers create their own integrated ecosystem, each aspect helping the others to flourish and reducing overall resource use. Since then, permaculture principles have blossomed all over the world.
Five permaculture gardening tips
Crop rotation: boost soil nutrients and avoid pest and disease problems by changing plant groups in order: first legumes, then cabbages, tomatoes, onions and root vegetables, and so on.
Grey water: if you use mild vegetable soaps for washing, recycle the water onto your garden.
Weed management: cover garden beds with mulch to control weeds.
Companion plants: grow herbs and flowers throughout your garden. Mixed plantings will confuse potential pests.
Indigenous plants: native species provide habitat and food for indigenous wildlife.

Serbian Mythology [2005–2019]
Serbian mythology consists of many original peculiarities, yet it is completely absent from contemporary mythologizing of Serbian identity. This is a surprising fact, since the mythical, pre-Christian understanding of the world still looms large over everyday life in Serbia. Many customs related to certain objects or phenomena, such as beliefs associated with traditionally important events, have an obvious mythical and non-Orthodox Christian basis. The complex blend of pagan heritage and Christianity, typical for Eastern Europe, was famously defined by Mirca Eliade as cosmic Christianity. Historical and contemporary censorship of this mythic element in the officially propagated version of Serbian spirituality may easily be one of the reasons for the traditionally chaotic state of Serbian society.
The starting point for creating this work, which may be interpreted as reverse ethnography, was the study of utilitarian, scientific photographs and photo-amateur material. The photographed objects and scenes belong to the ordinary, everyday visual experience; it may be said that the commonplace subjects of these photographs have been mythologized by the act of their taking. In this delineating process, they were connoted as equally important as rare ethnographic specimens. In contrast to the picturesque attraction of the amateur ethno photography, Serbian Mythology functions as explicit political message.
But, whether it is politics or religion, the mythological mechanism today serves the function of ideology. Although elements of Serbian mythology permeate these images, the goal of this work is not illustration, but recognition that false mythomania which leads to cultural discontinuity is directly related to the carefully prepared ignorance.

Boxster EV Concept Car Right Around Corner?

Re: Boxster EV Concept Car Right Around Corner?
blkspyder - 8 months ago
I sure hope the 718s don't go full electric. That would be very disappointing. It would be nice if they kept the 718s with an ICE and created a new electric sports car. I see two major problems of electrifying the 718.
1. Weight. Unless there's a breakthrough in battery tech, I don't see how an electric car can weigh any where near as close to what it weighs now. The 718 weighs roughly 3,100 pounds? Add batteries to that thing and it's going to weigh over 4,000 pounds.
2. Mimicking the mid-engine balance.
frogster - 8 months ago
the second gen tesla roadster will likely weigh over 4000 lbs and it will supposedly do 0-60 mph in 1.9 sec.
actually i think a roadster will feel very much like a mid-engined car. the battery pack, which is where a lot of weight is, will be situated in the floor pan so super low. the electric motors on EVs are very small and light compared to the boxster's flat 6. no radiators, no fuel tank, transmission, etc.
believe me, i'm not looking forward to the electric car future but on a purely technical, vs emotional level, they will most likely be pretty good.

I love my Boxster ('05 987) almost as much as I love my Chevy Volt ('18). Electric is the way to go: such great torque from the start, such strong acceleration if and when you want it. The Volt eliminates range anxiety, but is alas, bing sent to the dust bin of history. It is a race for charge rate (50, 100, 500, 600, 800 MPH) and we are in the early stages. An electric Boxster would be perfect, but would pose problems for this Board - no more extended discussions of exact oil recommendations and IMS etc., but we would all love those cars. The times they are a changing'! (If you want to cavil, I think there is room for discussion of rare earth mineral mining and associated environmental issues)
Guenter in Ontario - 8 months ago
Aren't you comparing apples to oranges to bananas?
Chevy Volt isn't an EV is it? It's a Hybrid. EV range is about 50 miles. Without ICE intervention, it would limit me to trips around our neighborhood. So not sure how that compares to a possible future E-Boxster and range anxiety.
I agree that EV acceleration is great. But what about the handling of a 4000 - 4500 lb. Vehicle? What about the connection between man and machine. Then there's the sound. Formula E cars have all the thrill of getting a root canal at the dentist.

and in the winter, it would have to be a very small neighborhood!
Then there's the sound. Formula E cars have all the thrill of getting a root canal at the dentist.
i think the root canal would be way more thrilling.
For those who love formual E, they'll be able to visit the dentist's office in the off season to enjoy the same sound.

Philip Feeney
The Walled Garden (1990)
For keyboard synth and pre-recorded track (flute: Nicola Ellis)
Choreography: Michael Pink
Lighting Design: Mark Grabiec
First performed at the Minerva, Chichester as part of the 1989 Ballet Central National tour.
Michael Pink’s dramatic narrative ballet for the 1989 Ballet Central National Tour, The Walled Garden, was a supernatural parable in which a young man (Simon Smith) trespasses into a walled garden to be enchanted by the piper (Fergus Logan), magically seduced by the maiden (Chiaki Nagao) only to be kidnapped by the gamekeeper (Paul Lester). Whether the boy escaped was not determined – the sudden blackout left him quite literally in the air. The wall was constructed out of scaffolding bars reconstructed onstage at every venue.
The score was an electronic piece based around a customized loop on the Roland D550, a kind breathy flute machine sound which gives the work a strong animated energy from the outset. It was augmented by not only a high piccolo patch that was played live, but by a genuine flute beautifully pre-recorded by Nicola Ellis, which plays the haunting melody of the duet. Some inadvertent talking from the recording session found its way on to the 8 track, and indeed on to the final mix, but it sounded sufficiently spooky that it actually enhanced the scene. In the final chase sequence, the driving loop relentlessly builds to the sudden end, with a live woodblock being added in performance, to create a different sound source and to ratchet up the tension.
The demonic energy of the last section gave credence to the idea that the piece was a cautionary modern-day allegory about AIDS, an issue that had quite a raised profile in the late eighties.

‘Murdoch rag’: Martin Rowson recalls Prince Philip’s verdict on the Times
によって追加 プレム オン 10/04/2021
Prince Philip once raged at the “self-righteous rubbish” in that “bloody Murdoch rag” the Times, the cartoonist Martin Rowson has revealed.
ローソン, whose cartoon for Saturday’s Guardian addresses Philip’s death, was one of many people to fondly recall their encounters with a man who rarely worried about voicing his true opinions.
Philip was patron of the Cartoon Art Trust for more than 20 年. に 1997 Rowson was at a fundraising dinner for the trust at St James’ Palace and was summoned to meet the duke along with the Times cartoonist Peter Brookes.
Philip asked whether any of Rowson’s work was syndicated. “I said I had no idea,” said Rowson.
“He then turned to Brookes who bowed low and said: ‘Peter Brookes, sir, the Times,’ at which point Phil the Greek exploded … ‘The Times? Bloody Murdoch rag! Wouldn’t have it in the house! Dreadful self-righteous rubbish!’
“At which point I interjected to say that the Guardian was the self-righteous one, to which he replied: ‘Not as bad as the bloody Times!’ and stalked off. Needless to say, he went up considerably in my estimation at this point and his comments are worth bearing in mind as all those News International – as was – papers drool over his memory. He clearly hated them.”
Rowson said it was “a delightful evening” and there was no question of Philip joking. “It was a visceral reaction … it was very, very funny.”
The encounter was long before the trust had established a national home for the Cartoon Museum. That was opened by Philip, close to the British Museum, に 2006. に 2009 it relocated to a new spot on Wells Street near London’s Oxford Circus.
The museum said Philip’s connection went back all the way to 1949 when he and the young Princess Elizabeth attended the Royal College of Arts and listened to a speech by HM Bateman calling for a national museum of cartoons.
“He has given the museum continuous support and with his great love of humour he admired the genre of British cartooning,” said the museum, identifying Giles as his favourite cartoonist.
“The monarchy have been a persistent (and easy) target of cartoonists and caricaturists for 300 年, from Gillray and Beerbohm to Scarfe, Bell, Rowson and Peter Brookes – but the Duke of Edinburgh could always see the funny side in any situation, and took humorous depictions of himself in his stride," と言いました.
Rowson agrees. His Guardian cartoon marking Philip’s death depicts him on a cloud going up to the pearly gates looking at a choir of angels, saying “those are bloody big grouse”. “Which I think he would laugh at,” Rowson said. “I think he’d find it very funny.”
