The Cycles Of The Earth
The Cycles of the earth are very important because they allow you to have food to eat and a healthy environment.
The Water Cycle
Information on the Water Cycle
Water is perhaps the most important component of any ecosystem. All living organisms need water to grow and survive. In an ecosystem, water cycles through the atmosphere, soil, rivers, lakes, and oceans. Some water is stored deep in the earth. Surface water, on the other hand, is the source that sustains life on land. In many cases, water also structures the physical habitat of an ecosystem. Polar bears, for example, rely on ocean ice in order to successfully hunt and capture seals. Rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water divide environments into different habitats, effectively defining where some organisms can live and others cannot. What’s more, most of the life on Earth actually lives completely submerged in the waters of the oceans. Water is truly a powerful factor in all ecosystems.
Precipitation is a component of how water moves through Earth’s water cycle, connecting the ocean, and land. Knowing where it rains, how much it rains and the character of the falling rain, snow or hail allows scientists to better understand precipitation impact on streams, rivers, surface runoff and groundwater. Frequent and detailed measurements help scientists make models of and determine changes in Earth’s water cycle. The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation. The water falling on land collects in rivers and lakes, soil, and porous layers of rock, and much of it flows back into the oceans, where it will once more evaporate. The cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere is a significant aspect of the weather patterns on Earth.
Carbon and Oxygen Cycle
WIthout the carbon and oxygen cycle all of the other ecosystems wouldn’t have oxygen or carbon dioxide.
step 1. The plant produces oxygen during photosynthesis
step 2. The animal takes in oxygen while inhaling
step 3. The animal releases carbon dioxide while exhaling
step 4. The plant takes in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis
step 5. The cycle keeps on repeating
The nitrogen cycle helps the ecosystem by producing nitrogen and making it free for organisms.
First step: Is free nitrogen in air.
Second step: Bacteria goes into the roots.
Third step: Consumer eats the plants.
Fourth step: Consumer Consumer poops & pees.
Fifth step: Bacteria releases some free nitrogen into the air.
Sixth step: The cycle keeps repeating.
Photosynthesis -”The process in which organisms use water along with sunlight and carbon dioxide to make food”.
What has to be present for Photosynthesis to occur
For Photosynthesis to occur you need Sunlight,Water,Carbon Dioxide and Chlorophyll (a green pigment, in all green plants,responsible for absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis).
What are The Products of Photosynthesis
The products of Photosynthesis are Glucose (Sugar) and Oxygen.
What is The By-products Of Photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide mixed with water makes a sugar called glucose. The glucose is used in respiration, or converted into starch and stored. Oxygen is produced as a by-product. This process is called photosynthesis.
What are the benefits of Photosynthesis
Plants are able to manufacture foodstuffs through Photosynthesis this means that if Photosynthesis was absent food would be as well.
Without Photosynthesis there would be no plant life.
Photosynthesis creates oxygen which sustains life.

Armory Damaged in Explosion
Overview: Army Depot in Manhattan damaged by 'light' explosion
OOC Contact: Ultimate or Power Woman.
The 69th Infantry Armory on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan was significantly damaged Friday night by what witnesses are calling a 'detonation of light'. Hundreds of people were evacuated from the building just minutes before the explosion by what they report were 'soldiers', though the authorities cannot identify who these soldiers were or what they were doing at the night's major charity gala fashion show.
The fashion show was apparently interrupted not first by the soldiers, but instead by the arrival of four very large golden armored figures, each standing almost ten feet tall, wielding incredible power and glowing blue-white energy weapons. As these figures burst into the armory, witnesses say that black-garbed soliders rushed in and started directing them forcefully to leave the building. Whatever else these soldiers may have done, they also engaged the golden armored warriors, preventing any known deaths, though some serious injuries were suffered.
Less than a minute after the last of the civilians cleared the armory building, a 'detonation of light' rippled outward from the armory, incinerating sections of the roof of the structure and sending a rain of ash down over a ten block area. After the explosion, no sign could be found of the golden armored figures, or the soldiers. Spokesman for the Pentagon declared that there were no active duty military on site in New York City.

Depth chart intrigue: CBs Kenneth Acker, Keith Reaser battle for starting job; Jarryd Hayne’s role up in air
Posted on September 8, 2015 by Cam Inman
San Diego Chargers Torrence Allen (3) slips with the ball against San Francisco 49ers’ Kenneth Acker (38), and Darryl Morris (40)in the fourth quarter at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Aug. 24, 2014. (Josie Lepe/Bay Area News Group)
Second-year cornerbacks Kenneth Acker and Keith Reaser have the inside track on earning the starting spot opposite Tremaine Brock for the 49ers’ season opener, coach Jim Tomsula said.
Acker and Reaser started the final two exhibitions while Brock stayed out with a hamstring injury. Brock is expected to be healthy enough to start at left cornerback against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night at Levi’s Stadium.
“Reaser and Acker are right there, getting after it,” Tomsula said Tuesday. “Acker has really come on and done a great job.”
Neither Acker nor Reaser played last regular season. Acker went on injured reserve with a foot fracture after the preseason, and Reaser spent his rookie year recovering from knee surgery.
Dontae Johnson, the first of three cornerbacks drafted last year, also is in the mix to see action on passing downs, Tomsula said.
Will Australian rookie Jarryd Hayne return punts or kickoffs in the season opener, rather than Reggie Bush, Bruce Ellington or DeAndrew White? That question remains unanswered by Tomsula, only to say his staff indeed has decided on their return specialist.
“Same group you’ve seen. All the guys have done a nice job at that,” Tomsula said.
Tight end Vance McDonald is progressing well from an Aug. 23 left ankle injury, Tomsula said.
Nick Easton, acquired in a Saturday trade with the Baltimore Ravens, is viewed by the 49ers strictly as a center, though he has the capability of playing guard, Tomsula said.

Juxtaposition at its weirdest.
In the current age of personality influence, the influencers can’t be ignored. Influencers are the swaths of 20-somethings with hundreds of thousands of devoted fans. But the influencers aren’t just the social media starlets – the creation of this new kind of shot-caller has added an extra layer to the already complicated existence of celebrities. Celebrities are now super-influencers on top of their usual fame and financial power. Influencers have become a powerful, driving force in marketing, advertising, public relations, all the consumer-facing fields.
But yet, it hasn’t cemented that same level until now.
The celebrity endorsement has long been a minor wrinkle in the political process. Rarely does a celebrity movement become a crucial subset to a political movement at large, without that movement being a direct response to something (like say, celebrity endorsements around the opposition of the Vietnam War.) Bernie Sanders, the Senator from Vermont, experienced what might have been an unexpected groundswell from an unexpected assortment of supporters – who christened themselves the #HotGirlArmy on Twitter.
@BernieSanders pic.twitter.com/owO5V1t3QE
— Emily Ratajkowski (@emrata) January 9, 2020
It’s hard to identify exactly when this all developed. The formation was created around the outspoken support of Sanders by celebrity actress/supermodel/super influencer Emily Ratajkowski, who serves as the perfect symbol for the convergence of sex symbolism and political activism in the modern social media age. Ratajkowski consistently winds up every time one of those uncomfortable “Hottest Woman of 20XX” appears on magazines that somehow still have subscribers, but has spent the 2010s as one of Planned Parenthood’s most outspoken celebrity supporters, while encouraging her fans to consume third-wave feminist works by authors like Dr. Naomi Wolf. Her endorsement of Bernie Sanders created this wave of “Hot Girl” influencers with large numbers of followers to do the same.
Before EmRat started the real movement, another, more famous celebrity laid the seeds in maybe a more impactful way: singer-songwriter Ariana Grande, who has developed a personal friendship with the elderly Senator.
MY GUY. thank you Senator Sanders for coming to my show, making my whole night and for all that you stand for ! @headcountorg and i are doing our best to make you proud. we’ve already registered 20k+ young voters at my shows alone. also i will never smile this hard again promise. pic.twitter.com/7UYqkXR0g1
— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) November 20, 2019
If Ratajkowski is a super influencer, then Grande is the pinnacle of influence. Grande’s Twitter account would rank as the 14th most populous state in the U.S. The #HotGirlArmy hashtag may have even been used at this point, even if it didn’t become a full-on movement until Ratajkowski got to it. Grande took a real, physical, tangible approach to use female influencer power for political causes – registering millions of young voters that would follow her lead. Sanders does well with young voters – Grande does better.
The conclusion to be drawn from this story is not about selling sexuality, or even really about the power of influencers individually. what should be drawn out of this is the new development of decentralized movements, linked from platform to platform between influential individuals with varying levels of power. There is not a leader of this movement. The candidate has absolutely no role within the movement. There is no beginning, no leadership, very few powerful endorsements for 538 to track. Rather, what we see with the #HotGirlArmy trend is that individuals can create a web with which millions upon millions can be exposed to a particular political candidate through endorsements that may not carry universal power (beyond the few very high-level endorsers), but rather, carry tremendous weight from each individual user to their followers due to the highly specific nature of social media followings. The conclusion should be focused on the nature of endorsement as action itself. This is a sign that high-level Congressional endorsements are no longer the largest possible endorsements. Cultivating a massive movement of low-level users who have intimate relationships with their followers is the way to maximize positive exposure to key demographics. Importantly, it is worth noting that this was not planned by a campaign, but rather, came out of a totally non-scripted series of events. This is not something that can be weaponized (yet). Rather, the key to utilization is to ensure that a campaign is well represented within a particular cast of celebrity supporters that can spearhead this flash-movement across social platforms in a moment. In short: the #HotGirlArmy is indicative of a future of political vote-getting in which unplanned social media trends take root in the basic structure of political coalition-building.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAM AND JOON
"I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door"
This is the chorus from I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers, which is played during the opening credits of the movie Benny and Joon. At the end of the credits, we are shown a long-haired-top-hat-wearing-Buster-Keaton-reading Johnny Depp. Instant satisfaction.
Benny, played by Aidan Quinn is car mechanic with an artistic schizophrenic sister Joon, played by Mary Stuart Masterson. He takes care of her and thus has no life. But Joon still doesn't show any mental improvement and so he starts considering sending her to a special home.
Enter Sam, played by Johnny Depp- a clown of a man. Joon loses a game of poker and has to keep Sam, much to Benny’s annoyance. But Sam proves to be useful by...cleaning the house. He makes bread-rolls tap dance, he makes his toasts using the steam iron, he climbs trees and does Chaplin-like performances just to make Benny and Joon happy. Needless to say, Joon falls for him and he for her. Poor Benny can’t hit it off with pretty Ruthy played by Julianne Moore.
When Sam and Joon declare their love to Benny, he gets angry with Sam and throws him out. While he is out to buy tapioca to make Joon feel better, she and Sam run away. But Joon has a breakdown in the bus and is taken away to a hospital.
Joon’s doctor doesn’t let her see anyone. Both sad and depressed by Joon’s absence, Sam and Benny decide to join forces and get Joon out of the hospital. While Sam distracts the ward boys, Benny tries to talk to Joon. He tells her he wants her to have an apartment of her own and now likes Sam but she doesn’t believe him. She thinks that she has scared him away, and as Benny is explaining that that’s not the case, her doctor comes.
Meanwhile, Sam is told about the window to Joon’s room by Benny’s friend who worked in the hospital. Benny and Joon’s doctor inside are telling her to decide what she wants. As they are talking, Sam climb’s up the walls (in a non-Spiderman style), takes a hanging swing-kind-of-thing and at Joon’s final deciding moment swings by her window. It’s pure magic!
Then what, Joon tells the nosy doctor good bye and starts living in Ruthy’s apartment with Sam. The last scene of the film shows us Benny leaving a bunch of roses by their door as Sam teaches Joon how to steam iron toasts.
Narrating Benny and Joon isn’t remotely as impactful as watching it. Especially because the genius of Johnny Depp is indescribable in words; it can only be seen and felt and worshipped. I honestly believe that Tim Burton must have decided then and there itself that he is going to play the Mad Hatter in the oh so very eagerly anticipated Alice In Wonderland. Sam is one of Johnny Depp’s best role to date, despite the fact that which one isn’t. It is absolutely amazing to watch him and all his eccentricities. Sam is such a dream man, after all which girl doesn’t want a guy who can clean the house, make her laugh, wears suspenders and a top hat, and looks like that.
This movie is as sweet as possible. The subject matter is in reality so complex and delicate but with all the added charm, it is one of the best romcoms of the past century. It’s magical in so many ways- Sam in himself is somewhat a Prince Charming. Mary Stuart is also quite convincing in her role. Joon is soft and caring and weird and quirky. She and Sam fit together.
Aidan Quinn was kind of a bore and the only downside to this movie. Even the nosy doctor and Sam’s evil cousin are more interesting. Julianne Moore looks spectacularly pretty and well that’s about it. This was a complete Johnny Depp film and should be watched by all the lovers of him, romance, and life in general.

I absolutely loved the movie, but I didn't think Benny was a bore. I think he was actually pretty convincing as the over-protective older brother. And it doesn't hurt that his voice was so sexy. :D Oh! And I agree! The movie SHOULD have been Sam and Joon.

Aurora in Palo Alto
This project needs your support!
The Aurora Palo Alto project began when local school children Sam and Julia Hirschman saw images of artist Charlie Gadeken’s beautiful glowing willow tree sculpture and immediately asked, “Why can’t we have art like that here?” Since that moment they have been working with their father Harry, the artist, other local youth, Palo Alto business and government organizations, BRAF, and other collaborators to bring the work to their hometown.
The Aurora Crew is ready to install the piece, but they’ll take a big financial hit in doing so unless they can raise some more money to cover their costs. Please consider lending this project a hand! Aurora Palo Alto has launched an ambitious Kickstarter campaign to cover their costs. At www.kickstarter.com/projects/aurora/aurora-palo-alto you can pledge to sponsor an LED, a leaf, or a branch of the tree for it’s civic installation and support.
For more information or to make a tax-deductible contribution, see www.blackrockarts.org/projects/aurora.

BRAF 2013 Grantee – Project: SUITCASE
Misa Rygrova reports from Prague that Project: SUITCASE is thriving! To date twelve art suitcases are done and ready to travel. Suitcases have already visited Italy, Hungary, and the United States and you can follow their adventures here.
Over the past month the suitcases—which have proven to be extremely popular with both children and adults—appeared all over Prague: at a picnic on the tram tracks, in the Cafe Potrva, and in the Get Ready to Reclaim Your City happening.
The next big event will be European Theatre Night on November 16. The suitcases will start their journey at Theater DISK and with help of visitors and participants will find their way to the theaters of Prague.
The project is continually open to creative submissions and more suitcases are being transformed into art pieces. The project welcomes people who would love to get involved; as suitcase creators, as carriers or as volunteers who would like to display the suitcases and bring their art to people. For more information please contact the team at href="misa @projectsuitcase.cz" target="_blank">misa @projestsuitcase.cz

2005 Grantee – Swap-O-Rama-Rama
Author Wendy Jehanara Tremayne has been on the road with her new book The Good Life Lab: Radical Experiments in Hands-On Living. After a recent whirlwind tour of Northern California Tremayne is preparing a round of future appearances.
The stories in The Good Life Lab begin in the Nevada desert. Wendy’s discovery of Black Rock City’s gift economy is the impetus that sets in motion the adventures that follow. She and her partner, Mikey Sklar, then quit their New York careers in search of a de-commodified life. Inspired by Burning Man’s ethos of self-reliance, the couple built an off-grid homestead in southern New Mexico. Today they make their own food, shelter, fuel, power. and domestic goods. This book tells their story.
The Good Life Lab is arty, practical, and contemplative. It teaches lifestyle skills like making your own fuel, building out of waste, remodeling shipping containers, living off grid, recovering dead batteries and hacking appliances. Wendy shows how those alive today are the first generation to experience the whole world for sale and she maps a way to live a decommodified life that is less reliant on money.
Check out the rave reviews below and stay tuned for more tour dates.

Many artists create images that reflect the social, political, and religious conflicts of their times--and these conflicts are often the expression of cultural complexes in the collective psyche. (click to explanatory article on concept of cultural complex) This research project invites you to contribute examples of this type of symbolic imagery to ARAS Online.
C.G. Jung's Red Book has brought renewed focus on Jung's ability to express himself in images. He wrote the Red Book at a time of deep personal and professional crisis. One of the more compelling parts of that crisis was the fact that Jung was in great fear for his own mental health and the possible eruption of a psychosis as signaled by his unbidden, waking visions of impending catastrophe in Europe. Jung later remarked that he greeted the outbreak of World War One with some relief in that it indicated his visions were more about destructive forces in the collective psyche rather than the threat of a personal psychosis. Jung's relief at realizing that his own psyche had been invaded by material from the cultural and archetypal level of the collective psyche indicates an important area of concern for Analytical Psychology and ARAS. The interpenetration of personal, cultural and archetypal material often makes it difficult to differentiate what is personal, what is cultural, and what is archetypal. This research inquiry is particularly focused on the cultural or social level of the psyche and how it expresses itself in symbolic imagery. There is no doubt that the imagery of the collective psyche often provides the conscious and unconscious material of artists. Such imagery may have archetypal roots, but it takes a good deal of its psychic charge from activated complexes at the level of the cultural psyche.
The goal of this research project is to engage all our users in an interactive participation with ARAS Online by extending you an invitation to contribute images and commentary on cultural complexes that have captured your imagination. We want to reach out to you to help us explore image, complex, archetype, and culture in a new way. We will include examples contributed by our users to the quarterly ARAS Connections (ARAS Online reserves the right to edit any material submitted and to choose which submissions will be placed in our ARAS Online collection).

SOME OF THE DISEASES PREVENTING AND COMPLICATION PREGNANCY [Diseases Preventing & Complicating Pregnancy]
Transactions Of World Congress Of Homoeopathic Physicians & Surgeons By Pemberton Dudley
Volume: 1893 May / June
Author: Henry C Aldrich
Subject: General Topics
Remedy: ==
BY HENRY C. ALDRICH, M.D., MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.
STERILITY.-DeSinety, Treub, Furbinger, et al., attribute 50 per cent. of unproductive marriages to the husbands, saying that sterility in the male is more often the cause of barren marriages than is generally supposed.
This cause of sterility I pass by, as also sterility due to mechanical obstruction, incomplete ovulation and the numerous other causes of this condition, too manifold for mere enumeration, to consider obesity as a causative agent in this condition. I need not say that the advocates for surgical interference for the relief of this condition are legion. Sims makes the assertion that sterility can be cured by surgical means only. That, of course, is Allopathic arguing pure and simple. Cases requiring surgical interference do arise, but any treatment which raises the nutrition of the entire organism, improves the blood-formation, and favors the resorption of pathological products in the sexual organs, is to be regarded as the indicated remedy.
Published statements are my authority for saying that excellent results have followed the administration of drugs, nevertheless; and in complete defiance of all therapeutic measures, a certain percentage of women remain barren; for with the more occult causes of sterility we remain, as yet, unacquainted, consequently they cannot all be reached with say kind of treatment whatever.
The following case I report somewhat in detail. Whilst not an exceptional case at all, it bears directly upon the subject under consideration, and possesses, it seems to me, some decidedly interesting features. My object in selecting this particular one is to call attention, if possible, to a condition not sufficiently considered. Mrs. J., aet. 26, married about two years and a half, appealed to my knowledge for a reason as to why she remained childless. The lady was carrying an excess of flesh, being under the medium height, and weighing 186 pounds, but appeared to be in good health; family and previous history all that could be desired. Examination showed none of the common causes of sterility; neither, so far as I could ascertain, was the husband responsible for this unproductive condition of affairs. Some previous experiences of my own, with the added testimony of other and able men, was my reason for charging this condition of things to the excess of flesh, this, by the husband, being laughingly charged to excess of laziness.
We all, undoubtedly, are familiar with that peculiar disease of the blood-corpuscles which, whilst producing flesh, relaxes at the same time the muscular force; acting also, I believe, upon the muscular fibres of the uterus and upon the ovaries, inducing not only serious menstrual disorders but sterility. McKee, Philbert, and others give several instances of sterility chargeable to obesity, the women in question having been married several years without bearing children, and all became mothers after losing a portion of their flesh. If any other argument were needed in support of this theory we might turn to the quadrupeds, where we find the poorest breeders among the fleshiest animals. Fournel has a very able treatise on "The Effects of Obesity on the Menstrual Functions and Parturition." Without having had any actual case of this description to deal with, he inclines very strongly towards the belief that obesity favors sterility. In the treatment of the case before mentioned, the patient was subjected to a daily massage of the entire body, with a special pelvic massage three times a week. This, in the main, consists in elevating the uterus as high as possible with the finger in the vagina, ending with a quick and decided vibratory motion. The diet received particular attention, as at this time there was a slight gastric ailment. The indicated remedy, Thuja, was given in the minimum dose. At the end of three months almost thirty pounds of flesh was gone, a considerable reduction. As an experiment, I recommended coitus in the knee-elbow position, advising that the lady remain quiet as long as possible after coition, with thighs well flexed. She became enciente, but miscarried at eight weeks. There was, comparatively speaking, but little pain and not much subsequent haemorrhage. She made a rapid recovery. Since then a living child has been born to them.
I believe I am safe in saying that this result would hardly have obtained were it not for the prophylactic measures adopted.
At the end of the first two months the patient was attacked with haemorrhage. A similar occurrence took place at irregular intervals during the following five months, the quantity of blood lost being much greater than that at the normal menstrual period.
For the greater part of the last five months she kept her bed, at the end of which time the tendency of the uterus to empty itself could be resisted no longer. A seven months' child was born, and is to-day doing well.
Pseudocyesis cerebral pregnancy, phantom pregnancy (whatever name we may call it by) is a disease which must come under the head of those "complicating pregnancy." Mrs. M., a lady, married two or three years, aet. 29. Previous history good, always enjoying perfect health. When I first saw the lady in question she was a perfect picture of health, and, according to appearance and her own statements, about seven months pregnant. I made no examination. This appeared to be a thoroughly intelligent woman, and, according to her own statement, there was cessation of the menses. There certainly was an enlargement of the abdomen and breasts, a milky secretion, and the lady was sure that she felt foetal movement. On February 28th of the present year I was called to attend her in labor. Examination showed that no pregnancy existed. So far as I could ascertain there was no assignable origin for this condition other than nervous influences, the phenomena being purely muscular distension of the abdomen.
Mayham reports a case of a woman 73 years old, claiming to be pregnant; he also claims that subsequently she was delivered of a child; this is an Allopathic report, however, of which we will take a Homoeopathic dose. Haultain reports three cases of cerebral pregnancy. In the first, he says no cause whatever was to be found; in the second, there was a small fibroid growth in the anterior uterine wall. Hauck reports a case where the vomiting, peristalsis, and flatus, caused by alcoholism were supposed to be caused by the pregnant state. Such cases are uncommon, but they emphasize the importance of making a thorough examination, in all cases where positive information is desired of the existence or non-existence of pregnancy.
Hyperemesis Gravidarum.-An animated discussion, held recently between two celebrated Allopaths of Stuttgart and Leipsic, has served to awaken a renewed interest in this subject, without in the least adding anything new to our stock of knowledge regarding its aetiology. Notwithstanding the frequency of the vomiting of pregnancy, its very distressing character in many instances, and its imminent, its very distressing character in many instances, and its imminent danger, we find but very few contributions of any value, to either the aetiology of the disorder or its therapeutics. I do not expect to add anything specially new myself, but it does seem to me that our knowledge of the vomiting of pregnancy, is to say the least, in a most contradictory state. Some physicians look upon it as a trifling matter, others as a thing to be endured, and some-these are in the right too-view even the mildest cases with gravity. Even in the mildest cases of morning sickness there is a constant drain upon the nervous system, putting the sufferer into a condition, in which she is very much less able to endure parturition than she would otherwise have been.
Dr. Harrison Mettler says: "After careful inquiry I find that women who suffer from much morning sickness have as a rule, tedious or otherwise troublesome labors. I have observed in multiparae that at one time they will have much nausea and vomiting followed by a difficult labor, while at another time they will be quite free from the vomiting, and will pass through the succeeding labor with comparative ease." I must say my observations make me agree with Dr. Mettler entirely; when one thinks how rapidly the mildest of cases assume pernicious forms, indifference is certainly no longer to be excused. There is a voluminous literature upon this subject, and many and varied are the aetiological reasons given for this very variable affection, a large majority of writers coinciding in the opinion that "many causes operate together," to produce what we are pleased to designate the "vomiting of pregnancy." I believe myself that in a large percentage of cases, this pernicious vomiting is simply the result of a reflex neurosis. Undoubtedly uterine displacements frequently cause vomiting; but when this is so, and the displaced organ is raised by packing the vagina with aseptic wool, the vomiting ceases.
Lillie reports a number of cases, where obstinate vomiting was caused by a retroflexed uterus, and restoration of the organ caused a cessation of the disorder. Bezugloff having a persistent case of morning sickness, introduced a bougie it no the uterus, the intention being to produce abortion; the immediate result was a stoppage of the vomiting, and the pregnancy went on to full term.
In the case just cited, I must say that I believe it was the fright, caused by the thought of abortion being performed, more than the effects of introducing the bougie, which operated so successfully; I say now, as I said before, I believe that the pre-eminent cause of this kind of sickness must be looked for i the nervous system. Flint speaks of this form of sickness as being decidedly neurotic in its origin, and cites a number of cases of a chronic variety of dyspepsia frequently occurring in young girls. I had one such case come under my personal care. There was a persistent morning sickness, with this young lady, and a disagreeable nausea whenever food was taken; this patient was at some distance from her home, in a boarding school, and she will probably never know that the lady principal entertained very grave thoughts at one time in regard to her virtue. It certainly was very difficult to differentiate between this and the vomiting of pregnancy; it was, however, simply due to a vitiated nervous system. My theory is supported by Alt, who records a number of such cases; I cite one only, the case being that of a highly hysterical woman, six months pregnant, suffering from the gravest vomiting, and anxious that miscarriage be induced. She was making preparation for entering the hospital for this purpose, when one of her children was seized with pneumonia. The anxiety felt over the child, forced all thought of self from the mother's mind; from that moment the vomiting ceased and she remained well until the termination of pregnancy.-Minchener Medicinische Wochenschrift.
Whilst saying that I believe this disease to be in the majority of cases of purely nervous origin, I would not imply thereby that it is not to be feared, far from it; if neglected, we know how likely it is to pass quickly beyond treatment and our patient succumb from sheer exhaustion.
In the treatment cited such as insertion of bougies, dilation of the os, pelvic massage, etc., I believe it is merely the "doing something," no matter much what it is, so long as you have gained the confidence of your patient, that does good. We have seen how suddenly Hyperemesis will cease if the patient be alarmed; it may be, has often been, and will to again, cured by a process skin to suggestion. Kattenback had a case where the patient, a primipara, was seized with an incorrigible vomiting. It was suggested to her that her stomach contained some lumps of unwholesome material and their removal would cure her. Some milk was given her, and the stomach ceremoniously washed out. its contents bore no indications of either over-acidity or abnormal ferment She was informed that she was all right and the vomiting would not return; neither did if, and she was safely delivered at term.
There is a familiar and now well-know phenomena, by which these neurotics can be influenced; I speak of hypnotism; it is due to purely subjective conditions.
There is an identity of the hypnotic susceptibility with the condition of hysteria, and it is along these lines that we can work. Just as many times as I have tried this method of treatment, for these cases of excessive vomiting, just so many times has it given me gratifying results.
The patient can be to sleep by bi-ocular pressure, and the idea of cure suggested; the operation may have to be repeated several times, at intervals of a day or so, but you will be rewarded by the cessation of the vomiting, often with but one suggestion. Where the patient is not easily controlled by means of the bi-ocular pressure, Luy's revolving mirror is a never failing resource.

Argali
Watch a live Argali
Ovis ammon
EN-US FWS: June 14, 1976
Afghanistan, China, India, Kazakhstan, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Uzbekistan
The argali is found in the mountains of central Asia and said to be the largest of all wild sheep. Currently, there are nine different subspecies recognized, all of which are considered vulnerable. Adults range from 4 to 6.6 feet in body length, 3 to 4 feet high at the shoulder, and they can weigh between 130 and 350 lb. Coloration varies from a light yellow to a darker gray-brown, with white hairs being interspersed in some cases (especially in older individuals). Their faces are noticeably lighter in color. Males have a whitish neck ruff and a dorsal crest, and they possess two large corkscrew horns that can grow up to 6.3 feet in length. Females have horns, but they are much smaller.
Argali sheep can be found at upper elevations on steep slopes above 1000 meters, and they prefer to occupy the same areas for much of their lives. They are herbivorous creatures and feed mainly on grasses, herbs, and sedges. Argali sheep prefer to remain in single-sex herds with up to 100 individuals. Males and females only come together during breeding season. The males use their large horns to compete for breeding rites with females. Females give birth to one to two young after a gestation period of 150 to 160 days.
This species is threatened throughout its entire range, but some subspecies are in a far worse situation than others. The main threats to the species are habitat loss and the introduction of domestic sheep that compete with the argali sheep for grazing areas. Also, they are hunted for their meat and their horns, which are highly prized by hunters. The species was listed as endangered in 1976, but very few additional conservation measures have been implemented to preserve the species.

Ten creatures that may become extinct in the next 10 years
1. Leatherback Sea Turtle
Leatherback sea turtles have been around since pre-historic times.

President to focus on health care specifics, Biden says
President to address joint session of Congress on Wednesday
Vice president promises success on health care reform
Obama, aides have stepped up talks with moderate Sen. Olympia Snowe
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issues strong warning to insurance companies
Next Article in Politics »
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Vice President Joe Biden promised Thursday that President Obama will delve into specifics when he tackles health-care reform in a highly anticipated speech to a joint session of Congress next week.
President Obama has until now left the details of health care reform to leaders in Congress.
The president will be "laying out in understandable, clear terms" what the administration wants for health care when he addresses Congress on September 9, Biden told an audience at the Brookings Institution.
Biden also promised success on the administration's top domestic legislative priority.
"I think the prospects for success are high," he said. "We're going to get something substantial ... (but) it's going to be an awful lot of screaming and hollering before we get there."
The vice president said major reform eventually would pass Congress in part because spiraling health-care costs have transformed traditional opponents of reform into supporters of change.
Businesses can't compete "with that ball and chain they're dragging" in terms of health-care costs, he said. Doctors saddled with growing costs and burdens also "desperately" want reform, he argued. Watch what Biden has to say on upcoming speech »
A key member of the House Democratic leadership, California Rep. Xavier Becerra, echoed Biden's promise of success, arguing Thursday that most Democrats "are prepared to take (the) leap" when it comes to health care.
"We've had all of August to tell people how we're going to (proceed). Now it's time to start to get ready to take the jump," Becerra said at a Capitol Hill news conference.
The predictions came one day after the administration revealed Obama's plan to deliver a rare congressional address. It will be Obama's second speech to the full Congress since he took office in January.
So far, Obama has outlined broad principles for what he would like in health-care reform, but he has left most details to leaders in Congress. Democratic proposals in both chambers have come under withering Republican opposition and fierce attacks by conservative commentators. Opinion polls show a deep public divide on the issue.

Wading through the health care lingo
Several leading Democrats and political commentators have encouraged Obama to lay out his own specific plan now, with Congress returning to Washington after an August recess that was full of rancorous town meetings on health-care reform. Watch more on differences in health care views »
White House aides said earlier this week that the dynamic of the debate has changed, creating the opportunity for Obama to step in.
"We're entering a new season," senior adviser David Axelrod said. "It's time to synthesize and harmonize these strands and get this done."
Two sources familiar with the health-care negotiation revealed Wednesday that Obama and his top aides have recently stepped up talks with moderate Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine on a scaled-back health-care bill.
The compromise plan would lack a government-run public health insurance option favored by Obama but would leave the door open to adding that provision down the road under an idea proposed by Snowe, the sources said.
The modified proposal would include insurance reforms, such as preventing insurance companies from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions, one of the sources said.
The potential deal would give insurance companies a defined time period to make such changes in order to help cover more people and drive down long-term costs. But if those changes failed to occur within the defined period, a so-called "trigger" would provide for creating a public option to force change on the insurance companies, the source said.
On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- who strongly favors a public-insurance option contained in various health-care proposals in the House and Senate -- warned the insurance industry against gambling that it could avoid the triggering mechanism under such a compromise.
"If they want no public option but a trigger, you can be sure that the trigger will bring on a very robust public option," said Pelosi, the top House Democrat. "So if I were advising the insurance companies, I would tell them take this bill as it is now, because if you don't perform and ... there is a trigger, it's not going to be one of those little flags that come out of the end of the barrel."
In the Senate, Snowe is pivotal to the health-care debate because she may be Obama's last possibility for getting a Republican to support his push for a health-care overhaul.
She is one of the so-called "Gang of Six" members of the Senate Finance Committee -- three Democrats and three Republicans -- involved in separate negotiations on the only bipartisan health-care proposal in Congress so far.
However, the slow pace of those talks and recent partisan attacks by the other two Republicans in the negotiations have dimmed hopes for a breakthrough, leaving Snowe as the only Republican senator that White House aides believe they can work with on the issue.
Snowe first proposed the so-called "trigger" idea for a public option months ago and has talked to Obama about it on several occasions, according to a source familiar with the discussions.
Allies of the president hope that if Snowe accepts a health-care agreement, she might bring along her Republican colleague from Maine, moderate Sen. Susan Collins.
Getting some Republicans to sign onto a proposal might also improve Obama's chances of gaining the support of key moderate Democratic senators such as Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas. All three are skeptical of a government-run public option supported by their more liberal fellow Democrats.
Despite the flurry of direct talks this week between Snowe and White House staff, Snowe aides insist she remains engaged in the "Gang of Six" bipartisan talks that have been going on for months. Those talks have focused on creating nonprofit health insurance cooperatives instead of a public option to force competition and lower medical rates.
The source familiar with Snowe's discussions with the White House says Snowe's trigger idea isn't being considered in the bipartisan negotiations because of early resistance from fellow Republican negotiators, especially Sen. Mike Enzi of Wyoming.
Enzi and the other Republican negotiator, Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, both insist they are still committed to the bipartisan negotiations.
"I am still working with (the) other members of the so-called Gang of Six. These discussions ... have been productive, and I plan to continue with them," Enzi said in a statement released Thursday.
Enzi's and Grassley's recent sharp criticism of Democratic health-care proposals favored by Obama, however, has caused tense relations with the White House.
CNN's Ted Barrett, Ed Henry and Dana Bash contributed to this report.

Bill Curbing TSEA Activities Clears House Panel, Delayed in Senate
A bill putting new restrictions on the Tennessee State Employees Union – enough to disable or eliminate many of the organization’s functions, according to a TSEA official – won approval of the House State Government Committee on Wednesday.
The bill (HB913) is being pushed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and is sponsored by House Republican Caucus Chairman Glen Casada, who said it is intended to assure that state employee dues “do not go into political areas.”
But Sarah Adair, director of government affairs for TSEA, said the bill actually forbids TSEA from using dues money for anything but collective bargaining, enforcing a bargaining contract or helping members with grievance procedures. The bill permits lobbying only to the extent of contacting the group’s own members.
Since Tennessee prohibits state employee collective bargaining and there are no contracts, the organization would effectively be left to do nothing to handle grievances, she said. And even that may be in doubt because a state law enacted last year eliminates the term “grievance” in state law and instead sets up an appeals system for a state work who believes he or she has been wrongly disciplined or discharged, Adair said.
The bill is a case of a “national organization bringing a bill to a state that does not have a problem” with public employee labor unions “that may be a problem in other states,” she told the subcommittee in remarks limited to one minute by the panel’s chairman.
In the Senate, where the bill is sponsored by Sen. Stacey Campfield, R-Knoxville, the measure was discussed at length in the Commerce Committee and a vote and Campfield agreed to a week’s delay to consider amendments.
The bill declares that union dues cannot be used for political activities unless voluntarily donated. Adair said TSEA already requires members to check off whether or not a portion of dues can be sent to the group’s political action committee and the organization would not object to that provision.
Current law also allows a TSEA member to take a two-year, unpaid leave of absence to serve as president of TSEA. The bill reduces that to one year and Campfield said that is not an area where he thinks there can be a compromise, though Adair said the president – as now the case – is typically retired because active employees cannot afford to take unpaid leave

Summary: The skyscraper continues to inspire architects and visual artists of all types. More than a century of literature, art, film, and new media representations have built an image of the skyscraper inside the space of our collective imagination. A towering physical presence, the skyscraper has come to embody many of our unexamined notions and secret desires about wealth, ambition, and dominance. Paradoxically, as the skyscraper building type changed to address shifting socioeconomic conditions, its perception by mainstream culture has become simpler and more consumable. Featuring rarely seen images and lively text, Building Tall explores the phenomenon of the skyscraper--from its legacy of supreme technical achievement to the meanings of its various artistic interpretations.One of the most highly regarded architects in Los Angeles, Scott Johnson is also one of the few architects who is well-known to the general public and the design profession alike. He is best know for his gracefully resolved tall building designs. A number of his best-known designs have been widely published and have become local landmarks. He and William Fain acquired the landmark Los Angeles architectural firm Pereira Associates now known as Johnson Fain in 1987. Johnson is the author of Figure/Ground: A Design Conversation and The Big Idea: Criticality and Practice in Contemporary Architecture.

The Sell Side: Joe Herrick, Gutterman Research
by Mr Juggles
Over the weekend, the WSJ had this article on earnings calls being crashed by faux-analyst Joe Herrick.
At least seven times just the past three weeks, a mystery caller has cleverly insinuated himself into the normally well-manicured ritual of the quarterly calls. As top executives of publicly traded companies respond to securities analysts’ questions about their balance sheets, he impersonates a well-known analyst to get called upon. Then, usually declaring himself to be “Joe Herrick of Gutterman Research,” he launches into his own version of analyst-speak.
“Congratulations on the solid numbers — you always seem to come through in challenging times,” he said to Leo Kiely, president and chief executive officer of Molson Coors Brewing Co., on Feb. 12, convincingly parroting the obsequious banter common to the calls. “Can you provide some more color as to what you are doing for your supply chain initiatives to reduce manufacturing costs per hectoliter, as you originally promised $150 million in synergy or savings to decrease working capital?”
Analysts say the caller’s questions, though credibly phrased, are too off-target for a real analyst. It’s more like “consultant-speak,” says a disdainful Bryan Spillane, a Banc of America Securities analyst, a victim of one of Mr. Herrick’s impersonations. Analysts deal with often-wonky financial details, but “savings per hectoliter” rarely comes up.
Mr. Schmitz[, a sell-side analyst,] speculates that Mr. Herrick is “some minion” at a consulting firm trying to do clandestine research on companies’ use of Six Sigma techniques.
Coke’s caution was evident when Banc of America’s Mr. Spillane, the earlier impersonation victim, posed a detailed question about how much of the company’s currency-neutral operating profit growth was organic rather than coming from acquisitions or cost savings. “We hesitated on you for a minute because as we take these questions we are just trying to make sure that in fact you are who you say you are,” Coke’s chief financial officer, Gary Fayard, said before launching into an answer. “I am the real deal,” Mr. Spillane replied.
Recommendation: Beside multiple digs at consultants by sell-side analysts (Spanish Editor’s Note: che absurdo¿!), the best part is that Joe Herrick asked questions that many companies tried to answer because, well, they were the same kind of inane crap questions that they EXPECT from your typical sell-side analyst. Short the sell-side. Additionally, we are initiating coverage on Gutterman Research at a solid “Do Not Buy“.

I see you are initiating coverage on Gutterman Research and I was wondering if you could shed some light on some of their data about their time wasted per call and food consumed (per kg) per analyst luncheon over asinine question per minute(YoY)?

Escritoras afro-americanas contemporáneas : historia e identidad femeninas
Gallego Durán, María Mar
Gallego Durán, M.M.: "Escritoras afro-americanas contemporáneas : historia e identidad femeninas". REDEN : revista española de estudios norteamericanos. Nº 17-18, págs. 77-90 (1999). ISSN 1131-9674
The recent preeminence of the literary production of contemporary African American women writers due to their growing visibility has led to a questioning and redefinition of the established canon of American literature. However, after almost thirty years of history, a revaluation of the significance and impact of this production is needed. The fact that their work is at the top of woridwide bestsellers lists emphasizes the interest awakened in the reading market by the themes deah with by these women, practically ignored up to then. Such thematic content seems to be structured according to two main concerns: the first one, the redefinition of the concept of Afincan American female identity from within, that also implies a redefinition of the beauty ideal and a reconstruction of a notion of history and culture from this perspective; and the second one, the concept of gender specificity, of femininity within the African American community. The detailed analysis of these two issues will confirm the important place that this production rightly occupies in the American contemporary canon, together with the promising future it offers to coming women writers who continue to explore the rich and dynamic potentiality of the Afiican American female tradition.

THE ALPINE UNIVERSE DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM ALL FIVE CONTINENTS
He’s ALPINE UNIVERSE; real name Andy Favre and born in the mountains between France, Italy and Switzerland. He proudly presents THE ALPINE UNIVERSE, his eponymous debut album.
CHECK OUT ALPINE UNIVERSE’S DEBUT ALBUM HERE
After several years of successful releases and live performances at some of the biggest music festivals around the world, he’s ready to unleash his biggest feat yet. This 12-track concept album will transport you on a futuristic adventure, where advanced technology meets ancient knowledge.
Meet me at the top of the mountain, where the air is a bit purer and the sun shines a little brighter. Welcome to the Alpine Universe!
Drawing musical influences from all five continents, the French producer and composer showcases his signature sound with consistency, in a wide variety of electronic music genres.
From the Trap and Dubstep basslines heard on “Kronos” or “The Top of the Mountain” to the Electro-House of “Valor” and “The Hunter” and even the Drum-and-Bass rhythms of “Helios (Burn Me to the Sky)”, each track brings a breath of fresh air to the dance music scene!
Unlike merely drawing inspiration from fellow electronic artists, Alpine Universe was influenced by Slavic, Norse, Celtic, Mongolian, east and west African, native American, and European classical music. Other inspiration came from male vocals ensembles. The result is an album that feels different, yet laced with all the electronic sounds we came to love.
ALPINE UNIVERSE: “I wrote this album like a metaphor for the world we live in: fast, futuristic, sometimes dark and violent, but also a beautiful mix of cultures and a fertile ground for the full potential of humankind to be expressed.
This collection of songs is the result of over a year of work on an electronic and symphonic journey, in an attempt to break the conventions of today’s music production.
Alpine Universe is now represented by Skyline Artist Agency in Europe who also represent DJ’s such as DaCandy and Uppermost.
In support of the new album, Alpine Universe will go on tour in Europe, starting January 2018, with dates to be announced.

The Ultimate Tool for a WFH Lockdown : A 200,000 mAh Battery for 108hrs of Switch Gaming
by Anton Shilov on March 19, 2020 11:30 AM EST
Suoaki
Suoaki, a Japanese company, has released a semi-portable battery pack rated at 200,000 mAh or 720 Wh. With this battery, it should be capable of charging a laptop for 11 times or a Nintendo Switch for 36 times. This kind of battery pack could be needed for those who need to travel a long distance on car, work somewhere away from the power grid, somewhere with an intermittent power supply, or just ensure that there is some extra power at home or in a remote cottage where one might want to spend the coronavirus quarantine.
The Suoaki S670 is rated at 720 Wh (200,000 mAh), which is why it is a complete overkill. You can't travel on a plane with it, because the legal limit for a battery on an aircraft is 100 Wh, but for those who need charging when travelling by car, or working from an isolated location, this is meant to be a tool to use.

I wouldn't need something like this, but I do own a solar charger and battery pack to keep my phone up and running in the event of a power loss situation. It is more of a necessity to keep that going than a laptop whcih is basically just a phone with a bigger screen and physical keyboard these days.

At that price, it’s a US dollar per Watt-hour of capacity.

China releases new discoveries by its dark matter explorer
Source: CMG-CGTN

China recently released the latest discoveries made by its Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE), which shows that high-energy particles in our universe may travel slower than what we think.
DAMPE is a satellite launched back in 2015. It is nicknamed "Wukong" after the fictional monkey king in the classic Chinese fantasy novel Journey to the West.
Just like the Monkey King can finds demons disguised as humans, the Wukong satellite sees what our naked eyes cannot: dark matter particles.
Since cosmic rays were discovered in 1912, humans have not come up with a theory to explain their origin and movement.
With data collected by Wukong in the past six years, researchers at the Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) illustrated an energy spectrum of boron-to-carbon and boron-to-oxygen flux ratios, which show differences from theoretical calculations.
This could mean that we need to adjust our understanding of how cosmic rays travel in the universe, CMG learned from Chang Jin, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and lead scientist of the DAMPE project.
The new discoveries and related data have been published on Science Bulletin, an English-language academic journal supervised by CAS.
The Wukong satellite is still operating in Earth's orbit and will compile more data for researchers.
The DAMPE team is also developing a new device called "Very Large Area gamma-ray Space Telescope," or VLAST, which is expected to be 50 times more sensitive to gamma rays than current telescopes. It may help us found more traces of dark matter, team members said.

We are part of the Association of May Court Clubs of Canada (est. 1898), a volunteer organization of more than 2000 women in nine Ontario cities.

Browse: Home > History of the Irish Parliament > Constituencies > Fore
Fore appears to have been a borough by prescription: the Rolls Office issued a negative certificate to the Commissioners for Union Compensation.418 In 1783 it was said to comprise '13 Burgesses, non-resident. Not more than 50 inhabitants. Patron and proprietor, Lord Westmeath.' In 1790 it was described as follows:
This close Borough has invariably been under the dominion of the family of the Earls of Westmeath. Its electors consist but of twelve Burgesses, whom the Earl nominates and consequently appoints its representatives. Unless when honoured with the representation of Lord Viscount Delvin, his eldest son, it is a saleable commodity and increases the income, if not the political consequence, of this noble head of the ancient family of Nugent.419
In 1798 the Marquess of Downshire bought Fore from the financially straitened Earls of Westmeath for £14,000 (this was said to be the price - certainly he bought Fore and half of Carlingford for £21,000). Thomas Burgh (0284), who sat for Fore from February to August 1800, attempted to claim compensation for loss of his seat.420 This was evidently not allowed; the full compensation of £15,000 was paid to the Marquess of Downshire.

USA Swimming Membership
USA Swimming Membership is required for athlete insurance and to participate in USA Swimming sanctioned meets.
All meets that are USA Swimming sanctioned are designated on our meet information page. If an athlete registers for a meet and does not yet have this membership, you will be responsible for registering with USA Swimming and purchasing membership within 1 week prior to the first day of the meet.
Swim Meets Requiring USA Swimming Membership
How do I know if it is a USA Swimming sanctioned meet? These are designated on the specific meet info page for each meet.
Next Gen Meets (developmental meets) are NOT sanctioned meets: "CA Next Gen Meets" do not require USA Swimming membership. We hold at least 8 of these meets at the Baton Rouge location and 3+ at the Lafayette location (swimmers only attend meets at their location) during the year and they are open to swimmers in Novice, 8 & U, Age Group divisions and MS/HS Training groups.
Which Registration Type does my swimmer need?
2023 USA Swimming Membership is $88. USA Swimming membership is an annual fee and includes meet insurance, Splash monthly magazine and a USA Swimming Deck Pass accoun (unlimited number of USA Swimming meets during the year).
Who? This membership level is required for all Junior & Senior division groups and/or ANY swimmer ages 13 & Older that register for a USA Swimming sanctioned meet, regardless of practice group.
When? Registration submitted after Sept 1 will always be valid through Dec 31 of the following year. Members must renew membership for the upcoming calendar year by November 1 each year.
2023 USA Swimming Flex Membership (for Ages 12 & Under only) is $30. This level of membership is only for swimmers ages 12 & Under and allows swimmers to participate in 2 USA Swimming sanctioned swim meets for year.
Who? Swimmers (ages 12 & U) in the Novice, 8 & U and Age Group divisions that are signed up for a USA Swimming sanctioned swim meet can start with this level and then upgrade if/when they swim in a 3rd USA Swimming sanctioned meet during that year. Meets that require USA Swimming membership are designated on meet info pages. Next Gen meets do not require this membership.
Swimmers in Novice, 8 & U, Age Group 1 will only be offered 1-2 sanctioned meets each year. Age Group 2 & 3 will have 6+ sanctioned meet options per year so if you start with Flex, you are likely to need to return and upgrade later in the year.
When? Registration submitted after Sept 1 will always be valid through Dec 31 of the following year or until swimmer has participated in 2 sanctioned swim meets. After that, the swimmer will need to return to the USA Swimming site through our team registration link and upgrade to a full membership in order to participate in additional sanctioned meets during that year ($58 fee to upgrade will be paid through the USA Swimming website). You do not need to purchase.
LA Swimmer Transfer Fee: To transfer from another USA Swimming club to Crawfish Aquatics, there is a $44 transfer fee. You will be prompted to complete the transfer on the USA Swimming webpage and LA Swimming will invoice Crawfish Aquatics directly. This transfer fee will be on the following 1st of the month invoice.

Kerry will find pessimism in Palestine
Published by admin at 10:23 am under Articles,Palestinian politics
When US Secretary of State John Kerry visits the region this week, he is certain to find Palestinian expectations at an all-time low regarding any possible breakthrough in the peace talks with Israel. The dual resignations of Mohammad Shtayyeh and Saeb Erekat (who later rescinded his) reflect the Palestinians’ general lack of faith in the negotiations, but also their desire not to burn any bridges, just in case.
More than halfway through the nine-month commitment to talks, the negotiations aim of producing a final package means that nothing will be agreed to until everything is agreed to. Not a single disputed issue can be checked off as being resolved along the way. Both sides will likely cling to their position on every controversial area until the very last minute.
Kerry’s visit might jolt Palestinians from a deep nap, after having shifted their attention from the political process to worrying about internal issues, such as the current teachers’ strike.
A senior activist close to the office of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) told Al-Monitor that if the talks appear to be going nowhere, the pressure will increase on Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to produce some tangible results on the ground. Such “carrots” could be in the form of easing movement for Palestinians within the West Bank as well as among the West Bank, Jerusalem, Gaza and the King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge to Jordan.
Shtayyeh’s refusal to withdraw his resignation has some Palestinians scratching their heads. The appointment of the Fatah Central Committee member to attend the talks, along with chief negotiator Erekat, was seen as an attempt to ensure that Erekat faithfully transmits to Abbas and the rest of the Palestinian leadership what is happening in the talks. It is in this context that many are concerned about Shtayyeh’s insistence on resigning. Some see it as a warning shot aimed at Abbas and the Fatah leadership, which has been in favor of the talk’s continuation in the hopes of releasing all veteran (mostly Fatah) pre-Oslo prisoners.
The Fatah leadership, while not as confident in the talks as Abbas, sees in their continuation the preservation of the status quo and an important ingredient to remaining relevant and in power. In this respect, sources close to Fatah suggested to Al-Monitor that Shtayyeh might be replaced on the negotiating team by either Jibril Rajoub or Mohammad Madani. Both are members of the Central Committee.
Few people understand why Abbas continues to be upbeat about the talks. Some have argued that the reason might not be related to the talks led by Erekat and Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, but in a possible back channel between Abbas and the Israeli leadership. Regardless, while Abbas and to a lesser degree other Fatah leaders are in favor of continuing the talks, the same does not apply to the Palestine Liberation Organization, including Executive Committee members, and the public at large.
Gaza is another area that remains murky. Abbas continues to be financially supportive of Palestinians in Gaza despite Hamas control and the weak economy. While Palestinian protest against the Gaza–West Bank leadership split is at a low point, the Palestinian president insists that the Ramallah-based government continue to support the people of Gaza. The Abbas government spends a large portion of its budget to pay public employees in Gaza.
Hazem Kawasmi, a political activist from Jerusalem and chair of the Ramallah-based Freedom Forum Palestine, told Al-Monitor that Abbas has shown extraordinary sympathy toward Gazans. He explained, “President Abbas is showing more compassion toward Gazans than the [broader] Palestinian public, which has become apathetic in expecting a breakthrough in the reconciliation.â€Â Kawasmi said that the situation in Gaza is at its worst since Hamas took over in 2007, with the public showing signs of hopelessness and helplessness.
The unity of Gaza and the West Bank as well as the West Bank and Jerusalem are all crucial elements in any long-term Palestinian strategy toward independence. Some Palestinians, including Kawasmi, believe that one way to ease the burden on the talks is to begin a process of reducing the Israeli walls, checkpoints and siege mentality.
Israel committed, by accepting the road map, to removing most checkpoints and returning to pre-October 2000 locations. This also means that Palestinian police would be stationed at the Allenby Bridge, which will be open 24 hours a day.
Kerry might find a Palestinian president who still smiles at him when they meet in Ramallah this week. It would be a big mistake, however, if the top US diplomat misinterprets Abbas’ protocol as representative of the mood of most Palestinians.

Union City Radio for Friday, April 28
The People’s Climate Movement March is this Saturday, April 29th at noon. Here’s a quick rundown on labor-related events over the next few days.
On Friday at 7pm, Joe Uehlein and the U-Liners are hosting a Reception for the Labor Contingent and Friends. That's at Johnny Pistolas, 2333 18th St NW.
Saturday at 11am, the Labor Network for Sustainability meets at the U.S Department of Labor at 200 Constitution Ave. NW before joining the main march at noon.
And on Sunday at 10am the People’ Climate Movement will meet to discuss strategies of how to build on the momentum of the march.
Complete details, as always, at dclabor.org, click on calendar.
Here’s today's labor history:
On this date in 1914, a coal mine collapse at Eccles, West Virginia killed 181 workers...
In 1924, 119 died in the Benwood, West Virginia, coal mine disaster...
And in 1971, Congress created OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The AFL-CIO set April 28 as “Workers Memorial Day” to honor all workers killed or injured on the job every year.
Today’s labor quote is by Tony Mazzocchi, the primary force behind enactment of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970
Tony Mazzocchi, who said
"Movements grow in desperate times. We are being born."
Mazzocchi was also a founder of the DC Labor FilmFest 17 years ago, which now anchors the annual DC LaborFest. He died in 2002.

IWSG DAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2021, STILL WRITING By Pat Garcia
It is IWSG Time!
IWSG is a writers' support group created and led by Alex Cavanaugh.
Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!
This group is an immense help to many of us who do not mind sharing our insecurities, our successes, or giving encouragement and support to others.
So, if you are interested and would like to join, the link below will lead you directly to us.
https://www.insecurewriterssupportgroup.com/p/iwsg-sign-up.html
The awesome co-hosts for the September 1 posting of the IWSG are Rebecca Douglass, T. Powell Coltrin @Journaling Woman, Natalie Aguirre, Karen Lynn, and C. Lee McKenzie!
Submissions: Turn The Light On into the KCT International Literary "TREAT" Award Contest (Still Outstanding)
A Portrait of Daisy Dee, Fiction, The Writer, Short Story Contest (Still Outstanding)
The Wasteland, Carve Magazine, Raymond Carver Short Story Contest (Still outstanding)
A Shared Dream, The Alpha/Omega Short Story Contest, July 2, 2021 (Still Outstanding)
STILL WRITING
I have always thought that I had the creativity to write. I also knew that I would have to perfect that spirit of creativity if I wanted to write beyond one or two books. That meant taking writing classes, broadening my reading by being able to read in almost all genres, learning how to read non-fiction, going to writing conferences, submitting my work, learning how to deal with rejections, forcing myself to work regardless of my feelings and doing whatever I needed that would define me as a writer in an ongoing process that would eventually get my books published. Thus my success lies behind what I have done to get where I am––I call it The Process. At the beginning, I saw myself as a successful writer in a process of becoming known to the world, and it is an ongoing process that doesn't end because of publication.
Wishing all of you a lovely month of September.

I've never had trouble with creativity - I have more ideas than I could ever put to paper in my lifetime. I struggle with the focus and determination to finish what I start, and the actual skill and experience to write it WELL.

Olga Godim September 1, 2021 at 9:06 PM
You're right. As long as we keep writing, we're successful. It is when we stop that success slides away.
Susan Gourley/Kelley September 1, 2021 at 10:06 PM
Very wise words. I'm always inspired to work harder when I see how much work you've sent out.
emaginette September 1, 2021 at 10:08 PM
Sounds like you're successful to me, my friend.
Anna from elements of emaginette
Success comes from engaging in the process. It truly is the journey, not the destination.
Jenni September 2, 2021 at 1:41 AM
I like how you saw yourself as successful in the process of being known to the world. It's good to focus on the process and progress instead of the end product.
Very inspiring post!
Toi Thomas September 2, 2021 at 2:00 PM
Thank you for sharing your process with us. All the best with your submissions.
Beth Camp September 2, 2021 at 6:53 PM
That ongoing process of learning, discovering, creating is exactly what keeps us all entranced and immersed in the act of writing! May your journey continue, blessed with ongoing process!

"At the beginning, I saw myself as a successful writer in a process of becoming known to the world..."
Oh, very well said! I need to start thinking of myself in this way, too.

Bosnia: facing political inertia, #JMBG protests call for civil disobedience
by johansen.jorgen • 2. juli 2013 • 0 Comments
A four letter word is waking up Bosnia. JMBG, technically an acronym, stands for Jedinstveni matični broj građana, or Unique Master Citizen Number in English, the ID number granted to citizens.
Three weeks ago, three-month old Berina Hamidovic was one of many who had been denied papers because of a row between different political factions over the allocation of JMBG ID numbers. Except in her case, the consequences were far more tragic.
Her parents say the delay in taking their daughter without a passport to Serbia for urgent treatment cost the girl her life. Berina’s fate had shaken the country and thousands of Bosnians held a candle-lit vigil outside parliament to mourn her death and demand change.
Since then, continuing protests have urged lawmakers to pass a law to prevent such situations in the future. As a result of the blocked legislation, children born after February 2013 are not granted an ID number. The infuriated Bosnians had set the deadline of June 30 for a new law.
Anger swells in Bosnia
Facing political and legislative inaction – the law is on the agenda but still has not been voted – demonstrators took the streets in Sarajevo on July 1 with one slogan: “Come out and fire them.”
In a statement, the organizers of the demonstrations explained: “Through disobedience and non-violent methods, dissatisfied citizens can fight for their rights even if they face a far superior and influential opponent. […] the fight for children and the law on ID numbers must be a dignified and non-violent one.”
Gathered in front of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Parliamentary Assembly building, starting from 10 a.m this Monday, about 3,000 demonstrators held banners and sat down to block the streets of Sarajevo. On their flags, one symbol: a toddler’s dummy turning into a closed fist held up high.
The protestors don’t seem to want to stop with the demonstrations. “[The movement] must contain elements such as social boycott and / or disobedience, refusal to pay bills, fees and taxes, boycott of legislative and governmental bodies, “the JMBG campaign movement website says.
“These are just some of the ways how we can rebel against the system, which has for two decades refused to work in the interest of the people,” they add.
The Bosnian parliament has not sat since June 6, when protesters blocked lawmakers inside for 14 hours.
“Let’s wake them up from their long hibernation and push them to start doing their well-paid jobs,” Aleksandra Savic, head of a music centre in the southern city of Mostar told Reuters. “We are poor, our babies are dying. What else has to happen for us to realise things must finally change?”
Political dispute
Protestors are not alone in criticizing the parliament. On June 27, NGO Amnesty International released a statement saying the “delay in adopting a new law in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), assigning personal identification numbers to the new born citizens of BiH constitutes an illegal attack on the country’s citizens’ basic human rights.”
The Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies (CEAS), a left-leaning think tank, explains the heart of problem: “the JMBG consists of 13 digits: DDMMGGGRRBBBK. DD – date of birth, MM – month of birth, GGG – year of birth, RR – region, BBB – gender, K – control number. “
“The dispute arose over regional labels, seeing one number of political parties, predominantly from RS, asking for regional labels to be differentiated, respecting the entity borders, while other political parties, mainly from FBiH believe that registration marks should not incorporate entity boundaries or that, at least, this matter should be solved independently from the Constitutional Court’s decision implementation.”
“As a result, this dispute became yet another in a myriad of issues related to centralization vs. decentralization of BiH” the think tank, which has declared its support for the protest, writes. on its website.

A Nice Thing to Wake Up to in Your Room
Everglades International Hostel
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27th
This morning I took more pictures of the hostel, stuffed myself with pancakes and checked out, before excitedly descending into the Florida Keys, "a slender 127-mile chain of 1,700 islands linked by more than 40 bridges, off the southern tip of Florida." Time slows down as you drive down lazy, scenic Overseas Highway, with its narrow two lanes and maximum speed limit of 55mph (35-45 in commercial areas), passing through diverse communities (where buildings are located by the closest little green mile marker rather than building number), between which "on either side of you, as far as the eye can see, lies nothing but peaceful, emerald waters, chalk-full of 600 species of brilliantly colored tropical fish and 55 types of living coral." If you're determined to drive straight through to Key West (the end of the line) allow at least 3 1/2 hours, but you should really do it right and linger/explore the different towns along the way.
The Keys Aren't for People Afraid of Water, LOL
My first stop was Key Largo, "the Diving Capital of the World" and the first of the keys as one makes their way south from the mainland, where after checking out of the dollar store with a few cans of tuna and other necessities, I received a call from Xochi, my couchsurfing host for the night, who upon learning I was going snorkeling, put me in touch with her other couchsurfers, Mandy and Matthias, who just happened to be on their way to the snorkel shop as we spoke! About 15 minutes later I met up with them at Sundiver Station Snorkel Shop, paid $32.20 for my ticket on the 2 1/2-hr noon trip (foregoing the $7 equipment rental fee, since I still had the set I used from the manatee snorkel), then stopped at Walgreens for a couple cheap underwater disposable cameras before meeting them at the harbor docks.
Matt n' Mandy First Snorkeling Trip!
Laughter ensued as I got acquainted with my new, fun-loving German friends before boarding the Sundiver III, a beautiful 46-foot custom-built snorkeling boat. Once settled inside, the captain introduced himself and fellow crew member (they both had the same name like Joe or Bob or Dave or something), told us about our snorkel destination (one of the reefs in Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary, aka Pennekamp State Park, where the reef averages 6-12 feet deep), and provided instructions for an enjoyable day at sea (like steering clear of the jellyfish we might encounter!). Picking up anchor and making our way out of the harbor was an experience unto itself, as we oohed and ahhed at the mess of jaw-dropping vacation homes and luxurious sail boats, jet boats and yachts at the docks.
Dreaming of Retirement...
About 30 minutes later we arrived at our snorkel site, threw on our gear and plopped in! The 90 minutes we spent in the water was amazing! It's a whole other world below the water's surface; I was a minnow in an endless tropical fish tank! One filled with a wide abundance of soft and hard corals and many colored tropical fish, including Rainbow Parrotfish, Angelfish, Butterflyfish, Tangs, Wrasses, Brain Coral, Venus Fans and much much more, all gently swaying in the crystal clear water. Oh and the jellyfish the captain said we "might encounter"? We saw TONS! I saw at least 20-30 of the hot pink beauties, and poor Mandy even got stung, though she didn't let it spoil her first-ever snorkeling experience. She took it like a champ, even declining my offer to pee on her, haha :P She said it felt like a bee sting, and lasted only about 30-60 minutes.
No, You Can't Take 'Em Home!
We spent the rest of the day together - an unforgettable lunch at Bayside Grill (mango margaritas, seared tuna, fresh key lime pie, a picture-perfect panoramic view of the Florida Bay... and we had the whole place to ourselves!), picking up and going through our snorkeling photos at CVS, a trip to ISLAMORADA! (we shouted with a southern twang, lol), where a failed attempt to feed the tarpon fish (closed) led to [almost, but not really] being eaten by a giant [fiberglass] great white shark and [very] happy hour at at Uncles, with a final stop at Publix (the main grocery store in The Keys) and turned in for the night at Xochi's for deep discussion over wine and homemade hummus =)
The Smiles Are All Real =D
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28th
This morning Matthias & Mandy and I shared the honor of writing in Xochi's book (every couchsurfer she's ever had - a LOT - is required to write something in the book), took a group photo and gave her a big hug before she went to work, then the 3 of us returned to Robbie's in Islamorada to feed the massive tarpon, which can reach up to 8 feet long and weigh up to 280 lbs! It was a sight to behold as we passed the patient pelican and claimed our spot on the dock, held up our minnows and watched as the massive fish lunged out of the water for their breakfast (Mandy holding back a little, heh heh)! By the way, as we did indeed discover, they DO have teeth, and we had the marks to prove it, lol. I wish I could start out every morning like that - god, what a thrill! After getting up close and personal with a Great White Heron and Snowy Egret (with beautiful plumage displayed), they took me back to Key Largo, where it was time to part ways with my wonderful new friends, as they headed the opposite way, north to Miami.
Come n' Get It, Tarpon!
After picking up some breakfast from Publix (hard-boiled eggs and pineapple loaf, lol) I continued southwest on Overseas Highway past the Dolphin Research Center on Grassy Key, on through Marathon ("the Sportfishing Capital of the World"), across Seven-Mile Bridge (the longest segmental bridge in the world when it was completed in 1982, and as seen in True Lies!), past Bahia Honda Rail Bridge, made a quick stop for some info at a Key West Visitor Center (really just a private company trying to sell you vacation packages) at MM (mile marker) 31.2 on Big Pine Key, then hopped back into the car and kept truckin' on beyond the endangered Key Deer caution signs (peculiar surprise) about another 30 miles to literally the end of the road - Key West.
Dude, Why So CRABBY?!
Rocky shores, weathered homes, hurricane shutters, fried conch, sandy beaches, beautiful sunsets, subtropical climate, lush vegetation, wild roosters, rich pirate history, painters, writers, free spirits, beach bums, drag queens, retirees, honeymooners, cruisers - this tiny island (only 2 x 4 miles), the southernmost point in the continental United States (made famous by Ernest Hemingway), is a quirky atmosphere of Cuba (only 90 miles south!) meets New England, with a live-and-let-live attitude, where everyone's here to relax and enjoy (despite the recent influx of money-hungry developers).
Who's Your Barber, Man?
William, my couchsurfing host for the night, met me at Publix around 2:30. A mellow retiree and creative artist (he makes really cool wooden cut outs of people) with dreadlocks and a moped, he totally embodies the don't-worry-be-happy spirit of Key West; I was honored to be his guest. I followed him to his home, he showed me his cool cut outs and where things were, gave me a map, told me to come and go as I pleased, he grabbed his saw and got back to work and that was that!
William, My Key West Couchsurfing Host =)
My first stop was at another Visitor Center (because there was a FREE souvenir can cozy to be had, lol), then I drove over to the Hemingway Home & Museum, nestled in the heart of Old Town, where Nobel-Prize winning author Ernest Hemingway lived and wrote for more than ten years, during the most prolific period in his career.
Hemingway House
The $11.50 admission (I got a dollar off with my student ID) included a 30-minute guided tour (they run every 15 minutes 9-5pm 365 days a year), which informed me of the overall life of the late Ernest Hemingway, focusing on the years Hemingway lived in this particular house, built in 1851 in the Spanish Colonial style and restored and remodeled by Hemingway in the early 1930’s. It was a step back in time as the tour visited the rooms as key artifacts, paintings, trophy mounts and skins, European antiques, furnishings and architectural details were identified.
Hemingway's Living Room
It was a bit whimsical touring outside, where more than forty living descendents of Hemingway's cats (over half of which are six-toed!) currently live amongst the lush palm gardens (and inside the house too, as they are free to roam wherever they like on the property, just as Hemingway had it).
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, SIX TOES
It was fun listening to the stories about his wives; one of which took place as we were showed the pool, built in 1937-38, at the staggering cost of $20,000. It was the first in-ground pool in Key West, and the only pool within 100 miles! Our young, annoyingly monotone guide (with a constant motion of his right hand, palm up, back and forth like he was rocking a rattle back and forth, synchronized with the halting rhythm of his speech) told us that the exorbitant construction costs once prompted Hemingway to angrily take a penny from his pocket and throw it at his wife Pauline in the pool, shouting "Here, take the last penny I've got!" She took it and pressed it into the wet cement of the surrounding patio, and after their divorce (she kept the house) she'd proudly recall that story to her friends, "I took his last cent!" We all got a glimpse of the penny on our way out; it's still embedded between flagstones at the north end of the pool.
After the tour (my only tip was to speak with a bit of enthusiasm) you are free to wander around at your leisure, however our tour was done just as they were closing at 5. Luckily one of the other guides was nice enough to allow me a few extra minutes on the grounds (cat cemetary!) and even in the house before locking the doors for the day.
I Found the Easter Bunny's House!
After making a few passes around the the different residential blocks I got lucky and temporarily found a place to park while I took pictures of some of the island-style residences and got some chow. I heard BO's Fish Wagon was good, so I gave it a try and I'm glad I did! I was in "Conch Republic," so I ordered conch fritters. Conch is the snail without its shell. They were DELICIOUS! The right amount of grease, crunch, and plenty of flavor (for only $7.75). The service was great, the rusty piles of junk was fun (ambiance, lol) and good people watching while dining alfresco. I'll definitely go back! I walked across the street for some fresh, tart, homemade key lime pie at Pepe's Cafe, "The eldest eating house in the Florida Keys (est. 1909), A fairly good place, for quite a long while, Open under old management" haha!
Nothing Says MMM! Like The Exterior of BO's Fish Wagon HAHA!
After re-parking my car in a [this time] legal spot, I walked around the Historic Seaport/Mallory Square area to check out the beautiful boats and luxurious yachts, partake in the ever-popular "Sunset Celebration," where sunset admirers gather on the dock and watch the jugglers, palm readers, musicians, clowns and other entertainers before seeing the sun go down (gratefully applauding at its end). Afterward I walked up and down famous Duval Street (the Boubon Street of Key West), lined with motels, restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, art galleries, cigar shops and the like. I indulged in a key lime soda from the Key Lime Pie Factory and a scoop of key lime ice cream from Kermit's Key Lime Shoppe around 9:30, before heading back to William's, where I visited with him and a couple of his other friendly couchsurfers for a little bit before getting some shut eye after another long day. Next time I'm in Key West I'll have to make it a point to hit up the lively bars/clubs/music venues/drag shows!
Conch Fritters w/ Homemade Key Lime Mayo!
This morning I left William a thank you note and a bottle of Chardonnay (his fav) in the refrigerator, and spent the rest of the day taking my time driving back through the keys to the mainland, stopping to photograph some of the murals, mailboxes, and large sea life sculptures in front of the many souvenir shops along the way, and having a great lunch at Lazy Days in Islamorada (first person there for lunch, having the whole outdoor, oceanside deck with picture-perfect view all to myself, nice!) - a conch filet, sauteed with Japanese bread crumbs and topped with diced tomatoes, scallions, fresh grated parmesan and key lime butter. Having it sauteed was a nice departure from the fritter version (which is blended with batter and fried) in that it allowed me to taste the flavor of the conch more (though I like the fritters better). Rather than the traditional mint, my Keys-style lunch came complete with a key lime candy, the last "keys thing" I would eat on my trip.
All Things Key Lime!

Interviews with Cast of Bellepoque's 'Letters to Juliet' - 1 to 4 October 2014
Bellepoque's latest production Letters to Juliet is a composite of Shakespeare's classic plays, acted and sung to numerous hit operatic adaptations by Verdi, Gounod, Purcell and Rossini, performed by an international, locally based cast. We speak to tenor Melvin Tan and soprano Satsuki Nagatome to
Cast of Letters to Juliet
The Mad Scene: Hi Melvin and Satsuki, thank you for doing this interview with The Mad Scene. Firstly, please describe to us in your own words what Letters to Juliet is about?
Melvin: A celebration of strong women in Shakespeare’s plays that have been set into opera.
Satsuki: It’s cross between Shakespeare stories in spoken and operatic form, packaged into a contemporary theatrical work. This is a very interesting production for me as opera singer.
The Mad Scene: What characters will you be playing in Letters to Juliet and what will you be singing?
Melvin: I will be playing Romeo and sing the aria from Gounod's opera, L’amour, l’amour…. Ah! Leve toi soleil!, plus the duet between Romeo and Juliet in Act 2, O nuit divine. Gounod’s Romeo is very similar to Shakespeare’s Romeo, even the aria and the duet is almost a literal translation of his soliloquy. You can’t really improve on Shakespeare!
Satsuki: I’ll be playing two characters, Lady Macbeth (Macbeth) and Desdemona (Otello). I will be singing Lady Macbeth's opening scene Nel di della Vittoria – Vieni ! t’affretta !- Or tutti sorgete, the Ave Maria from Verdi's version of Otello and two duets from Rossini's version of the same story. I think that Desdemona in Verdi's operatic adaptation is a stronger woman than Shakespeare’s original.
Satsuki Nagatome
The Mad Scene: What other engagements are on your schedule after this concert?
Melvin: I will be reprising my first role that I sang with the Singapore Lyric Opera 10 years ago in 2004! Vicomte Cascada in Léhar’s The Merry Widow. Its my 10th Anniversary of singing roles with SLO, quite a milestone. After that I’ve been engaged by the Singapore Chinese Orchestra for a semi-staged opera at Huayi 2015.
Satsuki: I’ll join SLO’s Merry Widow as Olga on 24 to 26 October at Esplanade Theatre
The Mad Scene: What opera roles or concert pieces (oratorio solos, song cycles) would you like to pick up in the future?
Melvin: More Donizetti (Edgardo) and Britten (Quint, Male Chorus).
Satsuki: I love the romantic Italian opera so I'm learning some roles from Verdi’s opera such Aida and Abigaile (Nabucco). I would love to play roles from Puccini’s operas like Madam Butterfly, Tosca or Turandot.
The Mad Scene: Who are your operatic heroes growing up (singers, conductors, directors etc), what attracted you to them?
Satsuki: I have many operatic heroes but recently I was falling love to Italian Soprano Amarilli Nizza. I saw her performance as Abigaile in Verdi’s Nabucco at Arena di Verona last year. Her voice was powerful and strong, she was a true opera diva to my eyes and I couldn’t stop smiling even though her character is not a happy one.
Melvin: I did a tribute recital a few years ago to 3 tenors that have mentored me and shaped my understanding of my repertoire so I would name the late Philip Langridge, Robert Tear and Anthony Rolfe Johnson as being quite important to me as a singer. I might also add my studio mate John Mark Ainsley and Mark Padmore as inspirations.
Melvin Tan
The Mad Scene: Which music or video albums have you been listening to recently which you can recommend to our readers?
Satsuki: Not an album, but you can hear and watch plenty of Amarilli Nizza on her official website here: http://www.amarillinizza.com/operas/all-videos.
Melvin: Jonas Kaufmann’s new album Du bist die Welt fuer Mich (there are both English and German versions) which celebrate popular music from late 19th century and early 20th century Berlin. Lots of unusual tracks to recommend including a song originally sung by Marlene Dietrich.
The Mad Scene: Lastly, tell us why should we attend Letters to Juliet?
Satsuki: You can enjoy interesting modern drama and beautiful opera together!
Bellepoque's production of Letters to Juliet is on 1 to 4 October; the 3 October show is already sold out. Part of the proceeds will go toward benefiting the Breast Cancer Foundation Singapore. More information can be found on the Events Page.

The increase in air pressure in the centrifugal compressor is achieved by the rotation of the impeller and the expansion of the diffuser. According to the level of exhaust pressure, it can be divided into three categories: centrifugal fan, wind pressure in the range of 10-15kPa or less; centrifugal blower, wind pressure in the range of 15~350kPa; centrifugal compressor, wind pressure in 350kPa the above.
The centrifugal compressor impeller works on the gas to increase the pressure and speed of the gas, and completes the gas transportation. The gas flows through the compressor in the radial direction of the impeller. Also known as turbo fan compressor: mainly used to compress gas, mainly composed of two parts: a rotor and a stator: the rotor includes an impeller and a shaft. The impeller has blades, a balance disc and a part of the shaft seal; the main body of the stator is a cylinder and an expansion Compressor, curve, reflux, vent pipe, exhaust pipe and other devices.
Classified by structure, it can generally be divided into 3 types of high-pressure centrifugal blowers of horizontal split type, cylindrical type and multi-axis type.
1. Multi-shaft centrifugal compressor
It uses a large gear to drive several pinion shafts in a gearbox. One or both ends of each shaft are equipped with a first-stage impeller. The impeller takes in axially and discharges radially. The various impellers are connected by pipes. This kind of structure is simple and small in size, and is suitable for the compression of air, steam or inert gas at medium and low pressure.
2 Horizontally split centrifugal compressor
This type of compressor has a horizontal split surface that divides the cylinder into upper and lower halves, which are connected by bolts at the split surface. This structure is easy to disassemble and assemble, and is suitable for medium and low pressure occasions.
3-cylinder centrifugal compressor
The barrel compressor has an inner and an outer cylinder. The outer cylinder is a barrel with end covers at both ends. The inner cylinder is vertically split, and it is pushed into the outer cylinder after being assembled. The cylinder body of this structure has high strength, good sealing performance, and good rigidity, but it is difficult to install and inconvenient to repair. It is suitable for high pressure or occasions requiring good sealing.
