Against Individualism: Rethinking Disposession
Dr Adriana Zaharijević | Assistant Professor, Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade
Friday 5th October | 11.00am - 4.00pm (with lunch) | Grand Parade (Room TBC)
Thinking against neoliberalism demands that we abandon the individual and seek an imaginary which opens itself towards political tropes of non-sovereign dispossession. When homo oeconomicus triumphs as the exhaustive figure of the human amidst the patently unequal distribution of precarity and vulnerability the individual cannot be at the centre stage of politics. Brown understands neoliberalism as a governing rationality through which everything becomes economized. In thinking opposition to neoliberal politicization I reject the appeal to this self-same individual. The individual is an impotent political figure. It makes space only for managerial forms which deal with ‘the phenomena of politics’, or for the populist invocations of the ‘people’, a sort of counter-illusionary figure offering another kind of mastery and sovereignty. A truly different homo politicus would neither arise out of some organic bond uniting individuals into a populus nor from more sovereignty and more self-rule. Critical engagement imagines political bonds beyond self-possession. A different – unknown, unseen – political body would be de-individualized such that none qualifies as one.
Adriana Zaharijević graduated in philosophy at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade. She obtained her PhD at the Faculty of Political Sciences, University of Belgrade, combining political philosophy, feminist theory and social history of the 19th century. In 2013 Zaharijević became a researcher at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, and in 2016 assistant professor at the University of Novi Sad. She is the author of more than sixty articles and two books – Postajanje ženom (Becoming Woman 2010) and Ko je pojedinac? (Who is an Individual? Genealogical Inquiry into the Idea of a Citizen, 2014). Her present theoretical interests lie in the field of critical engagement.

The scope of psychotropic medication discontinuation problems
The stakeholder comments submission (see table) from the College of Mental Health Pharmacy about the Scope for the NICE guideline on Safe prescribing and withdrawal management of prescribed drugs associated with dependence and withdrawal is revealing about why antidepressant discontinuation problems are minimised (see eg. previous post). The College questions why antidepressants have been included within the Scope. What it's worried about is that patients might discontinue or not seek antidepressant treatment when they need it, if they know about antidepressant discontinuation problems.
Similarly, prescribers may use the chemical imbalance theory as a way of persuading patients to take antidepressants (see previous post). This is despite the fact that believing the theory may make patients more pessimistic about the prognosis of their depression and lower their perceived ability to regulate their mood (see previous post). More seriously as far as antidepressant discontinuation problems are concerned, believing the chemical imbalance theory may at least contribute to, if not cause, discontinuation problems (see previous post). Eveleigh et al (2019) found evidence from patients that the chemical imbalance theory was a prominent factor in creating fear of discontinuation.
Several stakeholders in the NICE consultation suggested including in the Scope other drugs, such as antipsychotics, which also cause discontinuation problems. NICE refused, saying that such guidance is included within the NICE guideline for psychosis and schizophrenia in adults, although I can't see any mention of discontinuation problems there. NICE only seems to have included antidepressants within the Scope because it was asked to by the Department of Health.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists usefully raises the issue of the psychological component of dependence but I'm not sure that NICE really takes this on board in its response. People who have antidepressant discontinuation problems often experience them very physically. It's good that NICE will presumably expand (although maybe by not very much) on its Depression guideline to produce more detailed advice for safe prescribing, monitoring and safe withdrawal of antidepressants. But people are being made dependent on psychotropic medication in general. The psychological element, at least, of antidepressant discontinuation problems cannot be denied (see previous post). It's understandable NICE may wish to sidestep this complex issue but these wider factors do need to be addressed.

Book Review: Berber Women of Morocco
Like a nomad gazing at the night sky, a ceiling of stars covered the main room of the 2014 exhibition, Berber Women of Morocco, at the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves St. Laurent in Paris. Each tribe’s jewelry and costume was sumptuously presented.
The accompanying book , with pages of orange and indigo-blue, is a tribute to women as the keepers of Berber, or Imaziɣn languages and traditions. (Imaziɣn means free-born.)
However, focusing on women distracts the audience from asking questions. The book is propaganda by omission: coffee-table scholarship, which veils the political confrontation upon which Berber identity depends.
A wedding necklace from the Souss area, which is made of amber, coral, amazonite shells, and pearls
The exhibition “is under the high patronage of Mohammed VI, King of Morocco,” whose mother is Berber. The King has gone out of his way to show sympathy for the Berber cause, as long as it was not political. Would it were that keeping culture alive were not political.
In 2011, the King spoke of “the plurality of the Moroccan identity, united and enriched by diversity… at the heart of which stands the Amaziɣ culture…” when Pierre Bergé opened the Musée Berbére at the Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech.
The Marjorelle Gardens, Marrakech
With courage, the King walks a thin line. Subordination to Arab monocultural demands is enforced all over Africa. The Arab identity and classical language are being imposed on ethnic groups of all colors, from Morocco to Sudan, even though they are already believers of Islam.

In 2000, noted scholar Mohamed Chafik wrote the Berber Manifesto, signed by 229 prominent intellectuals. It accused their Arab compatriots of “ideological hegemony aimed at ethnocide,” and demanded political recognition of the Berber language as well as control of the Berber historical narrative. King Mohammed VI established the Royal Institute of Amaziɣ Culture and appointed Chafik as its dean. Another thin line?
What makes the Berber Manifesto so extraordinary is that it had no wish to return to an idealized golden age, even though the Berbers are the oldest inhabitants of Northern Africa. However, I feel Berber Women of Morocco does make this attempt, because declaring love for a moribund culture is less threatening to fundamentalist, Arabist politics. For example, Prof. Chafik would never be mentioned in a book about women, which is why this book is about women.

However, I have to give the book credit for mentioning the economic consequences of globalization, which has made it impossible for Berber women to use Morocco’s natural resources to make traditional textiles. Synthetic clothes and blankets are cheaper, easier to maintain, and sell to tourists.
Today, women even call the polyester fleece worn under their hijabs “cashmere.” Men sit at large looms in public, weaving nothing like the textiles women used to make in their homes.
Ayt Atta woman’s cape, or tamizart, made of wool and cotton
In the last chapter, Titouan Lamazou and Karen Huet wrote that 20 years ago, “this craft remained so degraded that only the most senior weavers remained.” Young weavers worked in guilds (not exactly a nomadic concept, but it’s all people can do now). “They were day laborers, kept in poverty by the masters, reluctant to pass on their knowledge” because these guilds could not maintain a stable labor force. A few decades earlier, weavers’ social status was as high as silversmiths’. So people who want to do something create more guilds where they hope people will stay, and knowledge can be transferred.
Woven women’s belts
Yet in the foreward, Pierre Bergé said, “Proud of their heritage, the Imaziɣn are ready to face the present, convinced as I am, that civilization is nothing more than a respect for the past while welcoming the future.” I never knew anyone who welcomed a future of globalization with a fake identity imposed upon them.
The Berbers are in a political fight between Arabism and pluralism. Arabism = ethnocide; pluralism = survival. Chafik is right. I just wish the book could have included this, so people would understand why the Berbers weren’t in charge of their own exhibit.
European museums have always collected precious artifacts from ethnic groups whose traditions were destroyed. After any hope of regaining their identifying life-style is gone, an exhibition can celebrate the existence of a culture that can’t threaten what the museum wants to leave out of the narrative. Those who curate, organize, fund, and contribute to it look elegant. Their privilege is living off limits to inquiry.

How many Berbers live untroubled in Morocco?
A minuscule number we are assured.
And so an American tourist looks at the beautiful jewelry, falls in love with its exotic nature, remembers Yves St. Laurent’s breathtakingly beautiful, genuinely loving Africa collection (Spring-Summer 1967)…
and goes home to Santa Barbara, California, to entertain a friend.
The coffee tray was delicately set on the table.
“What amazing jewelry. Did you really get to see this in Paris?”
“Yes, Stephen and I had a wonderful second honeymoon.”
“How lovely. Are you going to the Hamptons this summer?”

Morrocan Taj, or Crown
This magnificent Moroccan wedding tiara is made up of three parts: two sides that meet in the middle and a piece that attaches on top. Made c. 1800, its openworked pyramid shape is richly decorated with emeralds and gemstones. It is inscribed “ربما هو على الله ورسوله” or Might is for God and His Messenger.
Sotheby’s estimates its worth at 15,000 GBP. I’ll be interested to know how much higher the final sale price will be.

The Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust - Review
Formed in Manchester at the height of the city’s influential ‘Madchester’ era (defined by the psychedelic drugs that fueled its inception as much as the celebratory combination of dance and rock music its flag bearers championed), The Chemical Brothers discovered an innovative way of bringing the guitar to the club floor. Of course this didn’t actually involve guitars so much as it did samples of guitars, along with drum machines, loops, spot-on sequencing, and a whole host of siren calls (“One Too Many Mornings,” “Alive Alone”). Tracing a neon glow-stick through its many electronic influences, acid house, funky breaks and trip hop to name a few, their debut out-raves any of the dance beats that had yet dropped upon its release.
A jab of sorts at The Dust Brothers (which was actually the Chemical Brothers’ first chosen moniker), Exit Planet Dust very nearly burst under the propulsive strength of its own block rocking feats. Two years before Fatboy Slim’s popular take on the Chem Bros bombastic beat-making earned him two Grammy nominations and invaded television screens across America (in the form of rampant commercial licensing), the duo of Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons helped to pioneer a movement that would ultimately fizzle out around the close of the century, but not before electrifying a whole generation of DJs ready to flex their own mixing muscle.
Go ahead and forget that this is the same band that would eventually release “The Salmon Dance” on their latest flop (2007′s We Are The Night). In 1995 the Brothers’ turntables were unapproachable by mere mortals. These are the same men that ignited a funeral pyre containing the remnants of Manchester ‘s momentary status as drug and music capital of the world, only to emerge unscathed from the flames of the scene’s inevitable demise (or comedown, if you will). What designated Rowlands and Simons was their blatant disregard for what had become a conventional approach to dance beats filtered through a typical guitar/bass/drums combo.
“Chemical Beats” is a trance-worthy plunge into tribal rhythms, drenched in the salt vapor and sweaty abandon it induces. Here and throughout the duo demonstrate persistent production talent, from the ominous alarm sample that opens name-checking first track “Leave Home” to the tightly wound percussion of sensationalist “In Dust We Trust.” Tempos take breathers rather than change outright. “Song To The Siren,” besides featuring female vocal loops that exude icy exhalations with frigid frequency, is a bit of a schizoid shuffle of strange electronic flourishes and drum effects.
With songs sequenced to blend together with no discernable seams, Exit Planet Dust flows as a cohesive whole. The result is a narrative of unstoppable rhythm laced together by necessary highs and lows. Aforementioned “One Too Many Morning” is a cool drop of acid on a daybreak high, hints of dub thrumming through the album’s most placid (and transcendent) vocals. Counterpoint “Alive Alone” delves despondently into its honey-slowed themes with apathetic aplomb. With a chorus as cheery as, “I’m alive, and I’m alone, and I never wanted to be either of those,” who needs self-loathing?
Though bands like The Crystal Method (considered by many to be America’s answer to The Chemical Brothers) as well as countless others would take numerous cues from Exit Planet Dust in the years that followed its release, none seemed able to match the Mancunians beat for beat at their own game as they enjoyed their mid-’90s prime. Big beat may have come and gone in a brief blaze, but its forefathers’ inspiring first foray still shudders and shakes the street as hard as it ever has.

Why kids spend so little time outside?
Have you ever wondered why children are beginning to spend less and less time outside?
An article in the NY Times suggests its the what they call, "the flip flop factor." Outdoor play at day care centers is often stifled because a child arrives wearing flip-flops or without a coat or because teachers don’t feel like going outside.
A study by Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center held focus groups with staff member…

Play, then eat: Another Recess Before Lunch Success Story
Unlike other School District 833 elementary schools, in Washington County, MN, Cottage Grove sends kids out to recess for 20 minutes before lunch.
Principal, Carl Aegler said it’s healthier for the child to exercise before lunch. “They take more time to eat and aren’t as concerned about hurrying to get outside,” he said.
Teacher Cathy O’Brien, who has taught at other schools where recess comes after lunch, said the Cottage Grove lunchroom is actua…

Study: Preschools lacking in physical activity opportunities
A new study out of the University of South Carolina found that 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds in preschool are anything but physically active, even during playtime outdoors.
Given recent findings and data on childhood obesity, the results should unsettle parents and health professionals. An estimated 60% of the nation's 3- to 5-year-olds who are not in kindergarten are enrolled in center-based preschools, and previous studies show more than one-qua…

Epilepsy in Adults: Causes and Treatments
Epilepsy is a chronic disease associated with impaired activity of the cells of the cerebral cortex. Normally, nerve cells (neurons) transmit signals using small electrical impulses. During epilepsy, the normal processes of regulating the power of electrical impulses and the processes of their transfer between neurons are disrupted. As a result, a very strong electrical […]
FAQs about Epilesy
Is Epilepsy a Mental Disorder?
Epilepsy is not a mental disorder. Indeed, several decades ago there was a belief that epilepsy treatment is the prerogative of psychiatrists. And even earlier there was an opinion that epilepsy is one of the forms of insanity. Patients who had such kind of seizures were placed in hospitals for the insane and isolated from the community. In addition, there was a widespread opinion that such people should not marry and bear children.
There are different forms of epilepsy. In the majority of cases, they are hereditary. Most people who suffer from this disease have no diagnosis – dementia or lack of intelligence. Epilepsy does not prevent them from leading a full-fledged life.
In those cases when the patient does have mental retardation, this disorder is most often combined with other dysfunctions, for example, a serious brain disease.
Now it is absolutely confirmed that this disease is not mental, and people suffering from epilepsy should visit a neurologist or epileptologist for getting a professional assistance. Can Epilepsy Appear in Adults?
Epilepsy can appear at any age, but in 70% of cases, for the first time, the disease is diagnosed in children or adolescents. In addition, the disease often affects older people. The causes of epilepsy can be very different:
the transferred infections;
neurological diseases, for example, strokes.
Can Epilepsy Be Cured?
Many believe that people who have epilepsy diagnosed are doomed to lifelong suffering. It’s not like that at all. Currently, about 70% of cases of epilepsy can be treated and in many cases, it is possible to achieve remission. For example, the best Canadian Pharmacy offers its customers a wide range of medications devoted to reducing or even eliminating the symptoms. The life with such medications may become brighter.
Important in this case is the patient’s adherence to treatment, that is, the timely reception of prescribed medications and the absence of violations of the regime (for example, all these medications cannot be mixed with alcohol).
There is a widespread misconception that taking antiepileptic drugs is accompanied by a number of serious complications and therefore people are cautious about these medications. Of course, these medicines are quite serious and are taken only with the doctor’s prescription and under his control, however, it is not necessary to refuse their admission – the consequences of seizures are much more dangerous for the organism. The intake of any prescribed drug begins with a minimal dose, gradually increasing it to the one that is appropriate for each individual patient.
What Factors Can Provoke an Epileptic Attack?
There are many factors that can provoke epileptic attacks. Among them, there are:
flickering light;
violation of the daily routine (lack of sleep, change of time zones);
improper nutrition;
alcohol consumption;
drugs abuse;
some medications’ application.
Epilepsy requires having enough serious self-control. Fortunately, you can cope with or avoid the majority of factors provoking the attack’ appearance.
An epileptic attack is not always characterized by convulsions and loss of consciousness. Many are convinced that seizures pass through the only possible scenario – a person loses consciousness, beats in convulsions, foam appears around the mouth. It’s not like that at all.
Attacks can be provoked by any sudden events that occur with a person. His task, in this case, is to consult a doctor, and the doctor’s task is to qualify the provoking factor. That is, the doctor must recognize what happened.
How to Help a Person with Epileptic Seizures?
If a person has a most famous type of epileptic attack – with falls, convulsions and loss of consciousness, sometimes – with biting of the tongue, foam from the mouth, the most important thing, in this case, is not to harm. You need to put a person on a side, put a soft object under his head (clothes or a bag, for example) and record the time. It’s strictly forbidden to insert something into the mouth, unclench the teeth, restrain and lean on a person, pour the water on him. Seizures usually begin and disappear by themselves. The mind after the attack can be confused. Sometimes you need to call an ambulance, especially if the attack lasts – more than a few minutes. However, if the above described seizures occur without falls, then it’s enough to just stay close to a person, to observe that he does not get into a traumatic situation.

Hall of Famers and Numbers Without Wings
They don’t give me a vote.
I was once gratified to read somebody argue that they should, but if I remember correctly this was written by somebody else who also didn’t get a vote, but probably should.
The logic behind that assertion will presumably decrease as time goes by. But it is staggering to consider that for decades, writers elected – or prevented the election of – dozens of players who they literally never saw play in a game that mattered. By the time Ron Santo was first seen by future Hall of Fame voters working in Baltimore, Boston, and all the other American League cities save for Chicago, L.A., and New York, he was a worn-out 34-year old part-time second baseman who had already hit 337 of the 342 homers he would ever hit. Seeing them on television has been the actual qualification for some large number of voter-nominee interactions since television began.
But I digress. Capsule summaries of the candidacies of those on the new ballot just released Friday:
Roberto Alomar: No, just barely. I don’t think he was as good as Sandberg and I always said Sandberg shouldn’t go in before Joe Gordon. I’m not judging Alomar on the spitting incident, I’m judging him on the fact that for whatever reason, at age 34 he not only turned from a superstar into a fringe major leaguer, but he also turned into a millstone around the neck of a franchise. The bad taste may fade with time, but right now I couldn’t vote for him.
Harold Baines: Yes, just barely. He’s hurt by the 2,866 hits – he’s in that Buckner zone. Everybody else who got to Buckner’s level of hits (2,763) has gotten in, or will, or is Pete Rose.
Bert Blyleven: Definitely. Fifth all-time in strikeouts now (passed by Clemens), by any measure one of the game’s great curveballers, and 287 wins. And by the way, those 3,701 strikeouts? They came with only 1,322 walks.
Andre Dawson: Yes. Farcical he has had to wait.
Andres Galarraga: I just don’t see it. 399 homers in the power era just doesn’t get there.
Barry Larkin: A great player and one of my favorites, but I don’t recall ever during his playing career having had even that Alomarian sense that this could be a Hall-of-Famer. If we’re looking to put a Reds shortstop in Cooperstown, it should be David Concepcion.
Edgar Martinez: The first test of how the DH-as-position will resonate through history. I can see electing pure DH’s but to me the batting bar is a little higher for them than other batsmen who field. Two batting championships and a RBI title is not sufficient. Ferris Fain won two batting championships, too, and I don’t see a big argument for him in Cooperstown (and he did it in consecutive years, too).
Don Mattingly: Sigh, no. I wish. The back injury killed his chances – he dropped from superior to slightly-above-average. For competitive fire, diligence, class, yes. But we don’t do it that way.
Fred McGriff: Amazingly, yes. Here is the silver lining to the steroid era. Suddenly his 493 homers and ten 30-home run seasons look surprising, even refreshing, considering the worst thing he was ever accused of taking were Boring Pills. No offense, but when the Yankees had to bribe Toronto to take Dave Collins off their hands in the winter of 1982-83 and the Jays said “OK, but you have to take Dale Murray off our hands – and we want this kid McGriff,” the Yanks would have been better off saying “take Mattingly.”
Mark McGwire: Hall of Fame? For what? For pretending to Congress that nothing happened before that steroid hearing? Fine. You got your wish. Nothing happened. Your lifetime numbers are 0-0-.000. And by the way, why is it ok for him to just waltz back in as batting coach of the Cardinals? Would we let Bonds come back in? This is unacceptable, and it gives credence to the very disturbing claim that race is at play when it comes to the punishment of steroid cheats. Mark McGwire is a steroid cheater.
Jack Morris: Another beneficiary of a little perspective. I used to flinch at that 3.90 ERA. There seems very little doubt that Tom Glavine will go in on the first ballot at 3.54. I’m looking more at the 254 wins and the clutch performances. Aye.
Dale Murphy: Yes. Preposterous that he’s had to wait. Two-time MVP, thought he was tailing off at the end of one season so he went to the Instructional League that fall to work on his hitting, turned himself from a defensive disaster to a star centerfielder, and was cooperative with every fan, reporter, and vendor. During his era as an every-day starter, 1978 through 1991, he was baseball’s leading home-run hitter, and he’s not in because he hit 398 homers and not 400? And we’re seriously considering Edgar Martinez before him?
Dave Parker: To be fair, something of a victim of expectations. But when he came up he was thought to have been the best all-around talent to ascend to the majors perhaps since Mays. 339-1493-.290 with 147 steals, two batting titles, and no homer crowns, isn’t very much, I’m afraid.
Tim Raines: No. It is very close. Maybe the steals should earn him a spot. The rest of the offensive production just doesn’t.
Lee Smith: Here’s a startling question: who led his league in saves more often during his career? Lee Smith, Mariano Rivera, or Trevor Hoffman? The answer is Smith (four), though Rivera (three), and Hoffman (two) can still do something about it. But doesn’t it at least suggest Smith’s 478 saves should be taken seriously, too? I vote yes.
Alan Trammell: No. I wish it were otherwise.
I do want to see how many guys vote for Shayne Reynolds.
THE UNEXPECTED BENEFIT OF WATCHING MLB NET’S ‘ALL-TIME GAMES’:
There are at least two big heavy fascinating books devoted to no less a topic than the attempt to record all of the uniform numbers worn by big leaguers. It may not fascinate you, but it fascinated two guys, including the eminent researcher Mark Stang, to take the time to do the research, and two publishers to pay the costs.
That’s why an odd vigne
tte from an odd MLB Network choice for one of its “All-Time Games” is fascinating – to a few, anyway. It’s a black-and-white video of the Montreal Expos outlasting the Pittsburgh Pirates at Jarry Park in Montreal on September 2, 1970. And at mid-game, rookie announcer Don Drysdale starts commenting to his partner Hal Kelly about the odd spectacle he’s seeing in the visitors’ bullpen.
This – and forgive the photographed screen grab – is the spectacle:
COURTESY MLB NETWORK
The righthander in mid-pitch is John Lamb (of the Pirates’ odd Lamb/Moose/Veale pitching staff). The lefty awaiting the throw is George Brunet, and he is not an outfielder loosening up his arm to replace Roberto Clemente. He’s a lefthanded pitcher – one who pitched fifteen seasons for nine different teams, plus thirteen more in the American minors, plus teams in Mexico up until nearly the day he died in 1991 – whom the Bucs had obtained from the Washington Senators three days earlier.
And he is wearing uniform number 4. Drysdale says to Kelly that Brunet is going to change the number as soon as possible because: a) pitchers just don’t wear “low numbers” like that, and b) Brunet has told him so. Left unspoken is the fact that Brunet, listed at 6’1″, 195, was probably closer to 220 by the time he got to Pittsburgh, and they probably gave him number 4 because, in that first year in which double-knit unis were ever used in the majors, it was likely the only shirt they had that fit him.
Both those big heavy uniform books show Brunet wearing only 22 for Pittsburgh. Yet, there he is, a few moments later, years ahead of Toronto’s Number 7 Josh Towers, actually getting into his second game as a Pirate, wearing the number they would eventually get around to retiring in honor of Ralph Kiner.
As an utter sidebar, I loved watching this game until I realized that the second of my two trips to Montreal as a kid to explore unbeatable, electric (and frigid in August with aluminum seats) Parc Jarry, was exactly one week before this game was played. Alors! This game is newer than the last time I actually saw that old field!

Gov’t Heightens Attendance Cap for Schools in Capital Area Due to Virus Surge
Posted on August 16, 2020 by Korea Bizwire in National, Policies and Regulation with 0 Comments

(Yonhap)
SEOUL, Aug. 16 (Korea Bizwire) — The government’s restrictions on classroom capacity will be strengthened in the metropolitan area starting next week following a surge in the number of new coronavirus cases in the region, the education ministry said Sunday.
From Tuesday to Sept. 11, the number of students at kindergartens and elementary and middle schools should be kept under one-third of the total for schools in Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi Province, heightened from an earlier guideline that limited them to a two-thirds level, according to the Ministry of Education.
The decision came as South Korea has seen a spike in the number of COVID-19 cases related to churches in the greater Seoul area, prompting the government to raise the social distancing guidelines in the region by one notch to Level 2 in the three-tier system for two weeks starting Sunday.
For schools in regions other than the metropolitan area, the government strongly advised keeping the number of students at a two-thirds level, while ordering schools in regions with a large number of new infections to replace in-person classes with remote learning.
The ministry said the plan to hold the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), the country’s biggest academic event of the year, in early December remains unchanged for now.
“We will prepare to hold the exam on Dec. 3 as planned, making thorough preparations to make sure it can be held safely,” Education Minister Yoo Eun-hae said during a briefing.
South Korea reported 279 new cases of the virus Sunday, raising the total caseload to 15,318.

AMD Announces B650 Extreme Chipset for Ryzen 7000: PCIe 5.0 For Mainstream
Over the last couple of months, the rumor mill surrounding AMD's impending Ryzen 7000 processors for desktops has been in overdrive. Although Lisa Su unveiled Zen 4 back at CES 2022, it's been anticipated that the new AM5 platform would include multiple chipsets, much like AM4 has over 500+ motherboard lifespan from X370, X470, X570, and every chipset in between. AMD announced its X670E, X670, and B650 chipsets during the AMD Keynote at Computex 2022, and this evening, AMD has announced a fourth chipset for Ryzen 7000, the B650E chipset. The B650E chipset will run alongside the already announced B650 chipset, but as it's part of AMD's 'Extreme' series of chipsets, it will benefit from PCIe 5.0 lanes to at least one M.2 slot, as...

EP 13: Benjamin Allbright, NFL Insider
April 19, 2018By Patrick Moran
We’re just one week away from the NFL draft and Denver sports radio host Benjamin Allbright joins Patrick Moran on the Moran-Alytics Podcast to talk all things NFL and the draft.
Widely known as one of football’s best insiders and a must-follow on Twitter (@allbrightNFL), Benjamin shares the latest on what he’s been hearing when it comes to personnel decisions on this draft class, particularly at the quarterback position.
We discuss several draft scenarios starting at around the 8:20 mark, including Allbright’s thoughts on the Buffalo Bills and what he hears the team is trying to do in regards to moving up the draft board. Here’s a spoiler alert–if you’re a Bills fans and in love with Josh Allen, this probably isn’t the interview you want to hear.
We also discuss reporting, Twitter and social media in how it pertains to the relationship between reporter and content consumer, as well as details of Allbright’s very public feud with Jason La Canfora from 2016.
The interview ends by stepping away from sports for a few fun facts, and we learn among other things what tunes Allbright likes to pump on his music player and three people he’d love to have dinner with.
Immediately after that (around the 42:00 mark) Patrick is joined by former University at Buffalo defensive end and NFL draft prospect Demone Harris (@demoneharris). The two discuss Harris’ journey to this point — a road not paved easy. Harris wasn’t even a full-time starter on his high school football team until his senior year and didn’t receive a college scholarship. Instead, he was a walk-on at UB and during his time transformed himself from just another face in the program to one of its most pivotal players.
With just one week Demone finds himself on the doorstep of the NFL, whether it comes in the later rounds of the draft or immediately after as an undrafted free agent, he’ll be on an NFL roster soon. Demone reveals what he plans on doing during the draft.

Damien Hirst Confesses He First Wanted to Put Pickled People in His Vitrines Before Going With Sheep + Other News
Art Industry News is a daily digest of the most consequential developments coming out of the art world and art market. Here’s what you need to know on this Thursday, February 18.
New Arts Hub Near Marfa Takes Shape – Marfa Invitational is a new year-round arts and cultural foundation planned for the tiny Texas enclave that Donald Judd once called home. Artist Michael Phelan hopes to complete the project, which includes a pair of exhibition halls on a five-acre plot of land, this fall. He previously founded an art fair of the same name. (New York Times)
MoMA Gets 100 Photographs by Women Artists – The collector Helen Kornblum has donated 100 photographs to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, including works by Louise Lawler, Dora Maar, and Carrie Mae Weems. The MoMA photography committee member’s gift will, according to one curator, help with “unfixing the canon.” Highlights will go on view at the museum in 2022. (ARTnews)
Damien Hirst’s Famous Pickles Could Have Looked Very Different – It turns out that Damien Hirst entertained some other ideas when considering what he would pickle for his now-famous sculptures of preserved animals in formaldehyde. He considered focusing on humans instead, and even flirted with the idea of showing a male and female form in copulation. In the end, however, he said, “I much prefer it when you’ve got this neglected thing like a sheep, which is meat—you’re thinking why am I feeling empathy? That’s a great thing because you should. Because it’s not just meat.” (Guardian)
Priest Charged With Stealing Ornaments From Hindu Temple – The former chief priest of Singapore’s oldest Hindu temple has been charged for pawning gold religious ornaments between 2016 and 2020. The items taken from Sri Mariamman Temple, which is 194 years old, are valued at $1.5 million. (Courthouse News)
Art Dubai Halves Exhibitor List, Changes Dates – As case numbers rise in the emirate, Art Dubai will scale back its planned in-person fair from 85 to 45 exhibitors and delay its opening by 12 days. The rescheduled fair, running from March 29 to April 3, will also move from the hotel Madinat Jumeirah to a “purpose-built venue” in the Gate Building at Dubai International Financial Center. Organizers are considering a shift to appointment-only. (ARTnews)
Calida Rawles Joins Lehmann Maupin – The international gallery will present a selection of works by the LA-based painter, known for her canvases depicting Black figures floating in water, at Art Basel Hong Kong in May. Rawles will continue to work with her LA gallery Various Small Fires. (Financial Times)
Hear Midnight Publishing Group CEO Jacob Pabst on Clubhouse – The CEO of Midnight Publishing Group will be sitting in on a Clubhouse, the art world’s favorite new social platform, with German collector Niklas Bolle and journalist Sebastian Späth to field questions about the art market. Tune in at 4:30 p.m. Central Eastern Europe time. (Clubhouse)
Theaster Gates and Michelle Grabner to Curate Outdoor Sculpture Show – The 2021 edition of Sculpture Milwaukee will be co-organized by artists Theaster Gates and Michelle Grabner. The outdoor sculpture show opens in June and will be on view through fall 2022. (Chicago Gallery News)
Sobey Art Award Now Open to All Ages – Canada’s top art prize has officially ditched its age restriction. (Previously, artists had to be under 40 to qualify.) The purse has grown, too. All long-listed finalists will now receive CA$10,000. The top prize remains CA$100,000, with the four-person shortlist receiving CA$25,000. (The Art Newspaper)
Photographer Sues Tattoo Artist Kat Von D – Photographer Jeffrey Sedlik is suing celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D for copyright infringement after she posted a picture of a customer’s Miles Davis tattoo on social media.

Are Palestinians ready for #peace?
November 7, 2016 Middle East, Palestinian AuthorityHamas, Incitement, Palestinian Authority, Social mediaNir Boms
(Washington Examiner, 05/11/2016)
Information may be “the oxygen of the modern age,” as Ronald Reagan famously said, but information technology is a mixed bag. Among other things, it has fueled the rise of global jihadism as we know it toda y.
It enabled a nest of tunnel-based terrorists in Afghanistan to coordinate the most deadly non-state terrorist attack in history 15 years ago. More recently, it has populated a new Islamic “caliphate” in Syria and Iraq with volunteers from around the world.
But there is a silver lining to the widespread use and abuse of social media in the Middle East: It can tell us a great deal about the individuals sitting behind the electronic screens.
Take Hashtag Palestine, the title of an insightful report by Hamleh, the Arab Center for Social Media Advancement. The Ramallah based-nongovernmental organization is dedicated to training individuals and community-based groups to engage in grassroots social media activism. Its recent report on Palestinian social media activity in 2015, a year that launched what is now called the Knife Intifada, is revealing.
Nearly two-thirds of Palestinians have computer access and half use a smartphone.
Palestinians, like others in the world, have become active internet users. Nearly two-thirds report having a computer and half use a smartphone. Young people form the majority of users. With this level of penetration, the Internet is already playing a significant social role in their lives.
What has been trending in Palestine? The report analyses 18 campaigns that tell us something about the Palestinian mood.
The most popular recorded campaign was “#it_will_not_be_divided,” centered on thwarting imagined secret Israeli plans to divide or even destroy al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, a popular theme of Islamist leaders who incite violence. Ironically, Israel and Jordan, which are custodians of Temple Mount, recently reached a new understanding on how to better handle the management of the holy site. Continue reading →
The Occupation of the Palestinian Mind

In May of 2000, the Lebanese-based Hezbollah terrorist group faced an unexpected challenge. Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Lebanon has threatened to pull the raison d’etre for its existence out from under its feet. After all, what can an organization that dedicated its life to fighting the “Israeli occupation of Lebanon” do after the last Israeli solider shut the border gate and the UN announced that Israel is in full compliance with Security Council resolution 425, recognizing the Israeli-Lebanese permanent border in the north? How about fighting for Jerusalem?

The Labour party is nursing a viper.
By Erick Stakelbeck & Nir Boms
New antiterrorism measures proposed by Britain’s Labour government in late January – including curfews, electronic tagging, and house arrest for terror suspects – were a step in the right direction for a nation increasingly beset by radical Islamists.
The fact that British authorities have arrested dozens of suspected Islamic terrorists and terror sympathizers over the past year and thwarted several terrorist plots (including one which involved crashing airplanes into Heathrow Airport and London’s financial district) merely underscores Britain’s dubious position as al Qaeda’s leading European target.
Hamas’ Weakness: Its Wallet

By Elliot Chodoff and Nir Boms
FrontPageMagazine.com | March 3, 2006
Hamas’ ascent to power in the Palestinian Authority has thrown Western policy into a quandary. Having touted the great advantages of democracy and the having spent millions on democratization, Western leaders are faced with Islamist victories at the polls. The recent “elections” in Iran, for instance, brought to power an Islamic tyrant who now threatens to detonate an atomic bomb over the “enemies of Islam,” and the “open” elections in Egypt brought an impressive victory to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Hamas victory in the recent Palestinian elections exemplifies the issue: the Palestinian people have chosen a terrorist organization to lead them.

REALITY RADIO
Also: ZENITH Model 5G02 (modified) | Reality Intersection Control Device
One particular theory of parallel realities / other dimensions implies that they are comparable with different frequencies such as those accessed via radio. The most valuable device in the possession of PANTHERION, the REALITY RADIO, seems to confirm this theory. The apparatus allows its user to "switch" between realities / dimensions and physically cross over to them. Within a radius of up to 2m the REALITY RADIO emits a kind of exotic wormhole-portal, appearing in our spacetime-continuum as a shimmering, the user's body completely enclosing "bubble". By adjusting the tuning-wheel any previously saved "station", or parallel reality location, can be selected and by using the volume control the portal-bubble becomes more or less tangible and permeable.
Depending on the nature and/or quality of the selected parallel reality / other dimension, usually its REALITY RADIO-counterpart looks more or less different and may often be very difficult to identify. In so-called hostile realities the radio does not even exist and the transdimensionaut is trapped. For this reason PANTHERION has developed a portable remote-control that all who use the REALITY RADIO are required to carry. The radio has a limited reception range; if the actuated reality signal is too weak for a total crossing over the connection produces an acoustic connection only.
History: A disoriented and confused US Navy sailor who seemed to be associated with the destroyer USS Eldridge mysteriously appeared in and disappeared from Graz. In the time of his brief stay he left the enigmatic radio behind. Down to the present day it is a mystery how the Zenith radio model from 1949 could appear in 1943, 6 years before it was officially manufactured. Some scientists believe it is related to the spacetime-altering gravitational-field experiments conducted on the USS Eldridge.
PANTHERION managed to got a hold of the device and discovered its ability to open/close a portal to other dimensions and realities. However, its exact modus operandi is yet a topic of speculation and dispute. Although most of the functional parts could be analyzed and classified the underlying and fluctuating multidimensional technology is far beyond our current understanding.

LGBTQ: Mauckingbird Theatre Company Presents Classic Plays With a Twist
March 22, 2016 Allison Anne Merchant Arts and Entertainment, LGBTQ, Old City, Poplar, Social Issues 0
A recent production by Mauckingbird Theatre Company was set in the 17th century, complete with all the attire, mannerisms and dialogue of the day — and a cell phone.
It’s that type of modern twist on classic plays that reflects the origin and mission of the group.
“Mauckingbird Theatre Company produces innovative, affordable gay-themed theatre,” said Peter Reynolds, the artistic director of Mauckingbird.
Mauckingbird began in 2007 and was inspired by Reynolds’ desire to see stories performed by the city’s theater community that related to him, a gay man.
“A major city like Philadelphia should have a theatre company dedicated to LGBTQ works,” Reynolds said.
Lindsay Mauck, the managing director of Mauckingbird, said this intention is what keeps the company going.
“It’s something that I take for granted as a straight white woman, I think my story is told a lot,” Mauck said. “And that’s not a luxury that a lot of other minority communities have, whether it’s a gender minority or a racial minority and [Reynolds] wanted to tell those stories.
“That’s what has been driving us for nine years – that he’s excited to keep telling a story in a new way.”
One of the actors from the company’s February 2016 production of “The Sisterhood” understands in the significance of this mission.
“I think one of the things that is important about this theatre company is giving a voice to that community within this world, that because of what have been societal norms for a long time, these homosexual relationships were either sort of unacknowledged or sort of viewed in a certain way that doesn’t really give them their full weight as human relationships,” Matt Tallman said.
“The Sisterhood” marked Mauckingbird’s 16th production and was performed at the Latvian Society in East Poplar. Performance locations vary due to the vagabond style Mauck believes captures the spirit of the company. However, a lack of home base does not detract from the community Mauckingbird created.
“Something like Mauckingbird is all about heart and treating people with respect and listening to people. And I thought – whoa – this is amazing that Peter and all the people that work with him treat me like gold,” said Marie Anne Chiment, the resident costume designer for Mauckingbird.
“And not just me, but all the actors and all the crew members are all treated with respect and I thought this is something that I want to support.”
Actor David Reece Hutchinson
Mauckingbird is a non-profit and all staff members work other jobs outside the company.
“I think that that has allowed us the flexibility to continue doing shows in what might be a difficult climate in terms of fundraising,” Mauck said.
Reynolds has no desire to find a permanent location for Mauckingbird, he enjoys the organization of the company currently.
“What Mauckingbird has is a big heart,” Chiment said. “They don’t have a big budget, but they have a big heart.”

Signal at CR 512-I 95 has family seeing red
Written by: Admin February 08 2010
FELLSMERE — One Fellsmere family is questioning the length of a red light at the intersection of County Road 512 and Interstate 95 after having to sit for a minute and a half without any other traffic on the road.
“He was annoyed,” Frances Soave said of her husband, Alex, who brought the issue to light. The Soaves travel County Road 512 quite frequently and are often stopped at the light at the highway.
“It’s the only way to get to Sebastian,” Soave said.
Over the weekend, the family pulled up to the light again and timed the red – 90 seconds.
Michael Love, a county traffic engineer, said that he would send someone out to review the intersection’s timing. Signal cycles can range anywhere from 80 seconds to 180 seconds, and depending when the vehicle pulls up to the intersection, it could sit through an entire cycle, he said.
A couple weeks ago, a signal technician noticed an issue with the same intersection and reported it. Love said that the sensor detector used to trigger signal changes had failed, causing the light to stay green even when there is no traffic. The problem was forcing the other lanes of travel to remain red.
“It can be a big headache,” Love said of failing detectors. The county currently does not have a system to alert them when a sensor fails.
That defective detector has since been replaced, according to Love.
“It’s operating as planned,” he said.
Florida Department of Transportation officials said that the county is responsible for the intersection’s signals and timing, even though it is part of the highway’s interchange.
The intersection sees between 10,000 and 15,000 vehicles pass through on a daily basis, Love said.
“That’s not very much in the scope of things,” he said.
Drivers who notice what they believe to be too-long red or green lights should contact authorities.
If the issue is not a public safety hazard, they are asked to call Michael Love at the county at (772) 226-1568. If, however, the traffic signal is out or otherwise posing a hazard, drivers should call 911.
