First off, it would be rather iggnorant to think that in all the vast reaches the entire Universe that we Earth dwellers are alone and/or the highest form of life. My personal belifs are that there should be at least some other planet that is still sustaining life on it. If it happend here on Earth, why can't it happen elsewhere?
ON THE TOPIC OF HOSTILITY WITH/FROM OTHER WORLDLY LIFEFORMS: the number 1 rule to remember is show that you are not hostile and want to be friends. I believe that they'd be scared of us too. I mean, they would be on a foreign planet with foreign forms of inteligent life... culture shock alone could make any being a little defensive. Maybe if were good hosts they'll teach us about space travel or help us find a new home world WHEN our planet dies? I'd give shelter to a person from another planet, I may nothave much but it's better than being out in the elements right? Plus I think Universal Peace should be a #1 priority. However, this is not to say we should bow to anyone. My policy with invaders is a generalized one, this goes for local and foreign invanders too: IF YOU WANT TO OVERTAKE MY LAND, YOU HAVE TO KILL ME FIRST! But as long as their peaceful vistors or have no other place to go, I'm cool with them if their cool with me. ;D
The Catholic Church has been observing the cosmos as well and even they say: "Treat Aliens as brothers" which in the grand sceme of things... isn't that how we should all treat one another? Many people of faith say that even if other inteligent beings were discovered and our races/walks of life met that their belifs wouldn't be effected. Personally, why would their belifs be questioned then? THEY NEVER QUESTION THEM OTHERWISE!
What are your thoughts/opinions on this subject if any?

TNGuy84, by just pure chance, depending on where you are WFLI 53DT CW (Real 42) serves about to Scottsboro also reaches Fort Payne barely...with the repack, I believe all major Chattanooga majors broadcast from Signal Mountain TN..WFLI when the repack occurs is changing. Many viewpoints on frequency changes..all I know is when WDSI moved and dropped to RF 14, I went from barely getting it to mid 80's on my tuner split as well..without looking at power changes or whatever, was just wondering if that station is a possibility..It's licensed to Cleveland/Chattanooga but most major stations are within a few degrees of each other on Signal Mountain. Just an ideaWHDF (CW-Huntsville) is the station I'm talking about. If I lose the station, it's no big deal because it's only a small fraction of my TV viewing anyway. I live in Southern TN and can receive the main stations in Huntsville AL via a set of rabbit ears (if I chose to), but I have the 4228 to point towards Nashville to pick up a few distant stations from there. With it pointed towards Nashville, I can still pick up 90% signal on Huntsville on the backside.
I've read about the numerous things that can affect reception on RF 2. I read an account once of an individual that couldn't receive a channel on that frequency due to a dirty power line filter outside their home.

5 things found in your bag:
I shall extend the meaning of bag to include those items that are often carried in my pockets, as this is the way gentlemen continue to carry their impedimenta :)
First and foremost, my laptop; a laptop or similar has been part of my life since the mid 1980's. Currently this is averitable modern day "swiss army knife" for this indispensible serves me as research tool, memory adjunct (for all those senior moments), communication aid and last but not least security blanket.
Second, is my stainless steel mug, I may not always use it, but I prefer it to be there.
Thirdly, a dictaphone, useful for making quick notes when booting up the laptop is not a practical proposition.
Fourthly, a mobile phone, although for years I lived without one, I would feel very insecure without it these days.
Fifthly, having retired my veritable and non metaphorical swiss army knife, a leatherman juice, that essential fashion accessory for today's well dressed "geek"
5 favorite things in your room:
No doubt this is another invitation to burglary, but most of the stuff in my room is junk.
I have my cameras, my non functioning wall clocks, my photographs, my flutes and my books.
5 things you have always wanted to do:
I would like to design a landmark building
I should like to travel to the USA on the QM2.
I would like to have the income to afford a Land Rover
I would like to make a movie
I would like to write a book.
Two of those things are potentially within my purview, and the other two are dependent upon landing a good job when I have completed my research
The first just ain't gonna happen in this world.
5 things you are currently into:
It is no news to say that I am into Photography, Autism Research, Land Rovers, Blogging and Emailing
5 people you’d like to tag:
I will pass on this, I can't think of anyone who I would like to torment at the moment.

I could not bring myself to buy either of such guides considering the unfortunate history of both authors.
On the other hand it set me to think, not only do I want to buy this guide, but would I ever need such a guide?


Perhaps it contains advice I might have found useful at one time, but then when I needed such advice there were no such guides, because there wasn't any 'asperger's ' back then to write guides about just socially different and 'dysfunctional' people.
Nowadays in a way perhaps I find the label of 'asperger's' sufficient as an explanation.
One of the first autobiographies I read was Lianne Willey's "Pretending to be normal" I was not really impressed, I didn't go around pretending to be normal, because I did not know what normal was. I may have worn more or less socially acceptable 'mask's' at times. The conventions of a suit for an interview, black tie at a funeral and a formal dinner, that sort of thing but I doubt I was ever less than me in such clothes.
I think the problem with such guides is that they accept the notion that we are foreigners in our own native lands. It may be a good analogy for attempting to understand the customs of 'neurotypical's' but it also says something far more damning and negative about that society which we are by accepting the definition that it is 'foreign', not a part of. That it is a society which is not welcoming to what we truly are.
If I were to go into a Roman Catholic Church I would take my hat off, and if I were to go into a Mosque I would take my shoes off. However since I subscribe to neither of those particular belief systems I would still feel uncomfortable and unwelcome even though I had obeyed the customs.
I would like to think if I were inviting a foreigner into my house, that I would extend the tolerance in the other direction, to allow them their customs,* for we cannot always assume that there is a guide book on hand.
Anyway it is not really about showing respect to the customs of others so much as an issue of disability accommodation. More is perhaps expected of those whose difference is invisible on the surface. There is at least an inbuilt notion in most societies (even if it is not universally practised) to be accommodating to someone who cannot see, or who cannot hear, or for whatever physical reason cannot come up to the norms of behaviour (eating with a knife and fork when your hands don't allow you, you get the picture ...)
To me the notion of accommodation is that the most flexible ought to yield.


I tend to lead a life with my friends where they know what I am like, and I know what they are like. That is why they are friends, I wouldn't really want someone who only knew the picture I had painted.
To know the rules maybe is an advantage, but to know that you need not have to live your life by them if you do not chose to is equality.
* footnote (I might draw the line with Borat )

Here I sit in a University owned hotel lobby having just checked out, reviewing my life I suppose, whilst waiting for the coach to take me back to the remainder of the residential weekend.
You only have to turn the news on to see signs of the four horsemen of the apocalypse and uncertainly over everything in the future.
The future is always uncertain for me, because never mind world events, where do I go from here, and how do I fit in?
There seem to be altogether too many people on the planet for there to be a stable life, global warming, energy crises, food and water in short supply, it seems like the chickens of Malthus, whose prophesies were long set aside, are finally coming home to roost, and so is there room for one more person on the planet, me?
My parents have respectfully “shuffled off” there “mortal coils” and what is their legacy? Apart from myself and my brother, do they still live in anyone else’s memory?
Not everyone can leave a concrete mark even on their own generation other than the headstone that marks there grave.
I know my mum left concrete marks in the most literal sence, in the form of ramps to buildings. I know these would have come eventually since the law now demands them, but without the pioneering efforts and the campaigning would that be law now? I do not think so.
So whilst my mum was alive I was as active in those campaigns as she was, as active as I am now in the autistic world.
My dad? I don’t know, I suppose had he and my mum not separated, my mum would not have made those changes in her life that led to that campaigning, and by implication would not have drawn me in.
I suppose too he played some part in the community during his lifetime.


He worked, contributing to the economy, making the tools that supported the industrial life of
He served in
Back in civilian life he was part of the popular cultural movements of his generation, as a jazz musician, and later part of the folk revival, which as you can see from an earlier blog I became part of too.
Like all of us, he did bad and regrettable things in his life, I can’t say I have not done any myself, but in subtle ways a world in which he had never been, would not have been quite the same.
I know I face upheavals to come in my life. I have the prospect of kitchen and bathroom works in my flat, the disruption of which I am not looking forward to, they are the necessary improvements which should make things better for a while, before the next upheaval when I have to leave my current flat altogether as it is still scheduled for demolition around the time I will expect to be graduating as a PhD
It is like that envisaged course completion, some way off, and in a way so far off I find it hard to believe whether or not it will ever happen to me, or if something else might happen in between to cause me to leave my flat or my course of study earlier.
So why am I writing all this now.
I suppose it is reflecting on the fact that I am here at Birmingham, a year on from when I was at Birmingham last year, on a similar study weekend, planning my final assignment, and unsure where that was leading. I did not feel well a year ago, the stresses had really got to me, but I survived and moved on. For those of you who have followed my blog, it is all there to see as it happened.
So this time I am not a part of the course, I was studying. I am enjoying the temporary status of a paid lecturer instead, and nervous as to how my delivery yesterday was received. Being as I was paid for it, could I have planned it a bit better? Given it more attention? If I have another opportunity at a further study weekend I can certainly use the experience to improve on it.
In any case I thought I need to improve my ability to be more impromptu in my delivery, to be confident enough that I do not need to read from my prepared script.
If you see me in my “Whichever way” video, you will see me delivering a script, literally. I am reading off it.


So I was when I first made the presentation that I later had filmed to make the video. Well I am trying to lead my life a little bit off the script now.
Perhaps there is a hidden script behind my life, and the future is already written, but I guess, nervous as I am even for the events of this afternoon, when I hope to find my flat as I left it, and not burgled, waiting as I am for the results of a brain scan I had last week, I hope that there is no melodrama waiting me. For now this actor is better off not knowing, else I could never cope with the present.
What will the world wreak tomorrow?
Tonight I have no care, and only am.
One now, one never moving instant instinct.
Continue time to turn, throw over what I feel
Return the terror, trample my delight.
For burns in my mind, memory of the light.
Outside, the blackness, shadows of the night.
Inside my soul, shines celebration of the light.
Watch this space, same time same channel ……………….

For a start off, being named in this subpoena (which has no validity whatever in the UK, where I reside and blog and have my being) actually puts Mr Shoemaker in jeopardy as the law stands in the UK, in that he has published a libellous statement suggesting my web site and blog's complicity in a ridiculous conspiracy for which he owes me an apology. I don't think the fact that he is an attorney in the US gives him any immunity outside of his jurisdiction for that. I want that apology Mr Shoemaker, I want it in public. Do you have a sense of decency Mr Shoemaker? Then use it!
I would suggest to Mr Shoemaker if he is reading this (which I doubt given the factual errors in the subpoena) to look through my blogs and my website so that he will have no need to subpoena the "evidence" It is there in cyberspace in the full public gaze, and he will see what little I have to contribute to what I consider and have always considered to be a side show to the basic issues of Autistic and Disability rights which I am concerned with. Beware too it is covered by copyright and even the reproduction of such in a court document invites penalties.


(There is case law on that somewhere in the asinine chronicles of the law as I recall)
Indeed it is a matter of record that I fell out with the Autism hub over the predominance of what I saw as a pre-occupation with the mercury Issue that to me is totally irrelevant to what I am about so far as promoting the much misunderstood and maligned concept of neurodiversity.
As for any financial support I am giving to neurodiversity.com, that is a leg to pull is it not? Never mind pulling your own, you won't have any left to stand upon.
It is a matter of fact that some years ago I attempted to snaffle unto myself the domain name Neurodiversity.Com and was somewhat miffed to discover it being sat upon, by I knew not whom, long before I discovered the identity of the Seidel's
Mr Shoemaker, if you would like me to appear in person in your proceedings, you would need to pay for that, and even then I cannot guarantee that the laws of your country would allow me a visa to travel so your attempts are really nugatory aren't they?
This whole thing reminds me of the classic tale of Canute commanding the waves.
If you look sensibly at this subpoena, you will realise that it is a pathetic attempt to command the impossible.
Nobody, and I mean nobody keeps records of the type that have been requested, and the demons that are being invoked here are invisible. Arthur Miller anybody???
In my jurisdiction I have little doubt that Mr Shoemaker would be regarded as a vexatious litigant, and more than that would fall foul of the standards of the law society and have to answer, just as Dr Wakefield is having to answer to his professional body, where the best advice in law will not protect him from the truth.
We may have stricter libel laws in the UK, and they do cut both ways for sure but hear this ... criminal Robert Maxwell used them for years to suppress adverse comment, but when he died the truth came out, that he was a swindler, and a cheat who abused the law.
Elton John may have used them to extract damages for the accusation that he was gay, but the truth is he is gay and has admitted it.
Worse than that Geoffrey Archer has gone to gaol for perjury over his libel suit.
There are consequences Mr Shoemaker, and if you do not face them in this world, you surely will in the next.


Is it worth your immortal soul Mr Shoemaker? Is it?
A retraction is so simple Mr Shoemaker, can we have it? I hope I do not have to extract it through the courts in this land or yours.
Your argument is not my argument and never has been. You have gained precisely nothing in your endeavours and I am sure if Kathleen were to appear, the information that she would give would be to the detriment of your case not in it's favour.

RUSH TOWNSHIP— Crews from Three Counties responded to battle a barn fire in Rush Township Northumberland County shortly after 2 this morning. The call came in for a working fire on Elysburg road and when first units arrived on scene they found pieces of equipment and back wall on fire.
Southside Fire Company Chief Nick Fowler said they used foam to lay a blanket down and help to stop the fire quickly. Crews were on scene for a couple of hours battling that barn fire in Northumberland County.
There is no exact word yet on a cause or extent of damage.
We will have more as information becomes available. Firefighters from Southside Fire Company, East End Fire Company, Danville Fire Department, Catawissa Hose Company, and Elysburg Fire Company were all on scene.

See more photos from the fox hunt in this website’s photo gallery.
The September foxhunt occurred on 13 September, a gorgeous early fall day. Turns out that three hunter teams were available for this contest. The first team consisted of Steve and Linda Nardin, W9’s SAN and LAN plus their grandson Alex. The second team included Charles Ward, KC9MUT, Fred Gengnagel, KC9EZP and Robert Dean, KC9UHU. The third team consisted of Kim and Jim Machamer, KB9’s DOS and DOT. This motley crew awaited the 146.160 MHz emissions from the fox at their starting point of Cobin Memorial Park.
Carole and Al Burke, WB9’s RUS and SSE served as the fox for this contest. The Pliett’s, Jim and Annie, couldn’t attend this one as they were up at Soaring Eagle attempting to break the bank. So it was up to the Burke’s to find a hide-out for the furry little quarry.
Now it turns out that Carole has been hanging out a bit with Kim lately and it seems that some of the Machamer’s crafty (fox hiding) ways have rubbed off on Carole because she picked out a fairly devious spot to ensconce the thing. Although Al objected, muttering that “even Charles, Fred and Robert wouldn’t be this cruel”, Carole had her way and made Al set up the high power fox on the western shore of the St. Joe river on the River Greenway adjacent to the Griswold play lot, with a clear view of the eastern shore of the river. The high power fox consisted of a jumper-battery powered mobile rig pumping about 50 watts into a 4-element yagi aimed south-southeast. (Carole made Al lug all of this stuff from the car, hidden in the Oak River Apartments parking lot, to their lair on the River Greenway…..and batteries, for one, are heavy). Then she made him stash the microfox itself across the river in the ballast rock that lines the eastern shore of the river near Northside Drive and St. Joe Blvd.


Then she made him fabricate a decoy microfox in the form of a large Bob Evans coffee cup complete with a fake antenna, and with the sign “Nope” printed on the side of it, and had him stash it on the western shore of the river quite near their (high power fox) lair, in order to draw the foxhunters in. (Yes, sometimes it’s like living with Erwin Rommel).
What with all this lugging of gear, building fake microfoxes, and running around both the eastern and western shores of the St. Joe River, foxhunt transmissions didn’t start promptly at 1330 hours as they’re supposed too. And given that Al was a little preoccupied he also failed to connect the mobile rig’s transmission line up to the yagi, so all he got when the high power fox commenced transmissions was 50 watts of reflected power back down the transmission line. So naturally the hunters couldn’t hear the fox. This was corrected in short order and the fox was finally heard starting at 1355 hours, and the hunt was on.
Since the fox was located only a few miles from the Cobin Memorial Park starting point, it only took about 20 minutes for the Nardin and Machamer teams to show up at our hiding place. They immediately started running around the west bank of the river DF’ing on the microfox signal. Pretty soon Alex stumbled upon the (Bob Evans coffee cup) decoy microfox and they thought they had found the genuine article. Then they noticed the “Nope” sign, realized what was going on, said something (un-mentionable) to me, and took off for the west side of the river. After tromping up and down the west bank of the river while Carole and I watched, Alex found the real microfox amongst the river ballast thirty minutes into the hunt, and he was followed by Jim & Kim at thirty one minutes.
About that time Charles, Fred and Robert showed up on our side of the river and commenced searching for the microfox. After finding the phony microfox they too realized that the real McCoy had to be located over on the other side of the river, and off they went. With a bit more searching they too found the real microfox forty eight minutes into the hunt.
With all that hunting stuff out of the way everyone enthusiastically proceeded over to Hall’s Prime Rib on State St.


and pretty much went through the menu chomping down on various delights, except for dessert. For that, everyone then went next door to the Carousel Ice Cream Shop and continued pigging-out. (It must be recognized that foxhunters really know how to eat well).
Given that Alex was the first to find the fox, the Nardin team will be the fox for the October hunt which is scheduled to occur on Sunday, the 4th of October with the fox emitting on 146.340 MHz and with intercom function provided by the 146.760 machine.
Based upon the outcome of the September hunt, scores for September and cumulative for the year are as follows:
|Hunter||September Points||Year-to-Date Points|
|Alex||4 (First to find)||8|
The October hunt awaits. Why not give it a try?


It’s always comforting to discover how much I have in common with people I barely know via social media. It can also be frankly disconcerting since it undermines my sense of self-distinction, which isn’t fragile so no harm done.
Author/publisher/editor/podcaster J. David Osborne is one such cat. I’ve only read one of his books and loved it, so it was no surprise to find out we share similar influences, particularly in the cinematic realm. It shows in our work, which is otherwise pretty different in voice, mood, tone and structure. That is simply because we’re different people, and we remain true to our unique sensibilities in life as well as fiction. In fact, his quote below describing his tastes in luridly-pulpy-yet-intellectually-stimulating, transgressively provocative literature precisely mirrors my own. This is why I relate so much to him, which is news to me and probably now to him.
James is also a lot more ambitious and adept than I am in terms of multi-media platform building, both for his own work and that of many others, which is how he has earned such a lofty degree of respect in the indie lit community and beyond.
Tell us a bit about the inspiration and incentive for your popular podcast, The JDO Show.
The podcast came about because I couldn’t get points across through social media. Facebook, Twitter, places like that, I wasn’t any good at communicating there. I’m not sure if many people are.
I started listening to long-form podcasts while I worked front desk overnight at a residential building in downtown Portland, Oregon. I’ve always been someone fascinated by ideas and nuance. How things can be two things at once, how people can hold two conflicting ideas at once. I realized that putting your thoughts into small boxes on the internet could lead to problems. I think people should really only talk in two ways: in person, or through creation. Write novels, not Facebook posts, that kind of thing.
I thought it might be interesting to talk to writers and artists about whatever was going on in the world. To get across some points, to joke around, that sort of thing.
The first episode of the podcast occurred one month before Donald Trump got elected. In that sense, I think it’s an interesting document of this time.


I have been completely bewildered by what has happened to people in the wake of this man getting elected. Everybody has lost their shit. So a lot of the conversations are about that. We also cover art, its purpose, the effects of social media on our brains, writing, and alcoholism (I struggle with booze consumption).
I’ve had cool guests on: Conner Habib, Scott McClanahan, William Boyle, Juliet Escoria, Johnny Shaw, Gabino Iglesias, Elle Nash, Michael J. Seidlinger, Jeff Jackson etc. We’re almost at 120 episodes at this point!
My most popular episodes, oddly, are with indie authors. Like really indie. I say oddly because you’d expect the “bigger” authors to draw more listeners, but it’s been my experience that folks are more interested in obscure writers.
Since you’re a man of multi-media talents, now please tell us about the birth and agenda of your well-respected imprint, Broken River Books.
Broken River Books started when I felt like I could take on the world. I worked at a hot dog restaurant in Oklahoma. I’d had some books released, and my publisher decided to go on an indefinite hiatus. I talked with friends and we decided the void left by Swallowdown had to be filled. That became BRB and King Shot Press.
I went to Kickstarter and raised money to, well, kickstart the press. We started off with books by Jedidiah Ayres, Stephen Graham Jones, Pearce Hansen, William Boyle, and Red Hammond. From there on out, I’ve published over forty books. Zero Saints by Gabino Iglesias, Itzá by Rios de la Luz, Heathenish by Kelby Losack. I publish writers that don’t normally get enough attention. I am attracted to work that exists in a liminal space and doesn’t quite fit into any one world. Hybrid shit.
I described it as “weird crime” but I’m not sure that works anymore. I like the films of David Lynch and other weirdo stuff. I prefer books that work as pulp entertainment, but have a rebellious streak in them. Iglesias, for example, writes his books in a mixture of Spanish and English. Cody Goodfellow wrote a crime novel about a dude that can turn into a shark. That kind of thing.


Over the years I’ve figured out that if I want to have a life and write my own books, I’d have to ease off the gas with Broken River. I have authors that I like working with, so they have (almost) free reign to write whatever. I’ll work on the book with them and release them. But it has shrunk in scope. I’m no longer looking for new authors, just building the ones that I like.
I’ve been having fun with it.
You have a uniquely evocative voice and ingeniously constructed style. It seems like you’ve invented your own literary genre, a street-poetic, fever-dreamy sort of horror-noir-indie/arthouse cinematic hybrid. How do you choose to define your own work?
I like minimalism and dialogue. One of my favorite authors is George V Higgins. Another is James Ellroy.
I write about both what I know and what interests me. The stuff that I know acts as a base upon which I explore things that interest me. For example, I know rough around the edges Oklahomans. I’m interested in the occult. With the new book, you get rough around the edges Oklahoman occultists.
It’s important to me that the books are funny and indecent and fast. Those are my three criteria. I release a lot of books. They all take a couple hours to read. You have a good time reading them.
The creative space I’ve set up for my books allows me to take a brief break from a world that is constantly litigating speech. It’s a space where I can play. My characters can say all the fucked up shit they want. It doesn’t have to reflect me at all.
Ya know, I’ve been thinking about this recently. How we’re constantly attempting to project ourselves onto words and images. Seems like we have no private lives. Nothing inside that we can have just for us. Instead everything is public. With art, you can create alter egos. Take from yourself and create something new. But I’m wondering if you have to pull that much out of yourself to make something good.
Living in the imaginal and taking from it and putting it on paper is an occult act.
What are your influences, literary or otherwise?
The first influences that come to mind are filmmakers.


I love Takashi Miike both in style and ethos. He’s who I want to be like when I grow up. Workmanlike, friendly, seemingly happy. Producing the most fucked up shit he can. Except for when he doesn’t want to! He appears free to me.
David Lynch. The way he’s able to transfer raw feeling onto a medium is fascinating. Like I said up there, we tend to put a lot of ourselves on the page or screen or wax. Lynch appears to have an astral temple he pulls imagery from. A dark place that he goes to, from which he brings trinkets.
Book-wise, I’m not currently influenced by very much fiction. Of the stuff I do read, I’ve been energized by Virginie Despentes and Nico Walker. Those books feel alive and imperfect and just underthought enough to seem organic. Underthinking is very important to me. Being a little stupid is very important to me. It’s the only defense against constant information.
Musically I’ve been listening to The KLF and Echo and the Bunnymen and Killing Joke. Also every new rap release I can get my hands on. Chester Watson’s Project 0 is incredible. The Outfit, TX have a great new album. Then metal stuff like High on Fire, Author & Punisher, and Electric Wizard.
I guess to kind of circle back to your initial question: I’m influenced by the kind of art that communicates subliminally. I hate it when things tell me how to feel. I love being manipulated. I love spending time with terrible people. Houellebecq is a favorite of mine.
I like books that push me around, that don’t care if I like them. I like an antagonistic relationship with my art. I like mean stuff.
What’s next for you?
Many new novels. Probably too many, to be honest.
I’m putting out Gabino Iglesias’ new book, Coyote Songs this Halloween. That’ll be followed by Christopher David Rosales’ Word is Bone. Then some work by Dave Newman. After that, it’ll be a new look for Broken River. It’s not a publishing house after these books. It’s a collective.
I am enjoying working a nine to five and living in the desert.


Trying to figure out how to live a life that I’m proud of. Volunteering at a farm on Sundays. That kind of thing. Staying away from social media, the internet. Living in the world, meditating, lifting weights. Most of all I’m trying to not judge myself based on what I make anymore. I don’t want to be an artist with his head up his ass, or with a feeling of self-importance. I feel healthier when art is a thing I do, not a thing I am.
Cheers to all that, though I concur: booze can be a demon as well as a muse. That’s why you control consumption or it consumes you. I dig what you do, brother. Keep swingin’.

Furniture design for display, lectures and rest
In collaboration with Eva-Maria Stadelmann & Frank Joachim Wössner
ZKM Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie
Two polygonal miniature architectures have been designed to serve the ZKM library as autonomous satellites of the large group exhibition ‘Globale’: a display tower for books whose base serves as a bench to invite people sitting down and an amphi-theatre in the library’s foyer for events, lectures, discourse and resting to browse through books. With the tower being introverted and the arena being extroverted both structures complement each other. They make a centred focal point within the extensive library and interact with each other to give orientation.
The polychromatic finish is carried out in RGB colours. Red, green and blue stain finishes on the timber frame reflect the institutions focus on media research and screen-based art.

I got to thinking about this the other day after a conversation with someone who was upset with me for praying a peaceful outcome in the ongoing round of conflicts in the Middle East - Israel, Palestine, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Libya. He had figured out what God was up to in the region and had fit it all neatly together into his scenario of the end times. His theology did not include a peaceful resolution in Iraq. He was upset because I suggested that his theology might be wrong.
I do not pretend to know what God is up to regarding the end times. But I do think I know what God is up to regarding Muslims. Specifically, He loves them and is not willing that any of them should perish, but that they all should come to repentance - the same thing He desires for Buddhists, Hindus, “Christians”, Mormons, atheists, and anyone else we might care to name. If I want to pray as Jesus would pray if He were praying, I need to pray for the redemption of Iraq and of Palestine and of Iran and of Libya and of Syria - with the full reminder that it is ultimately the kindness of God that invites repentance.
Clearly God can - and has - used military messengers to discipline and chastise both His children and their enemies. Judgment is clearly in His hand. But short of a specific prophetic word that over-rides the command of Jesus, our whole heart needs to be set on the discipling of the nations – primarily by immersing them into the full reality of the Trinitarian Universe. We dare not make judgment calls that are not ours to make. Especially when God himself has demonstrated his reticence to judge until mercy has had its full day in court.
So, how might we pray as Iraq lurches from one instability to the next, and Israel contemplates trading settlements for peace with an unreliable neighbor, and Iran postures nuclear defiance, and Palestine ekes out subsistence level living? We can pray for the spread of the gospel by any and all means possible. We can pray for those who make for peace. We can pray that those who devise against peace find themselves caught in their own traps. We can pray against the systemic evil behind terrorism. We can pray for our brothers and sisters caught in impossible situations and victimized for their failure to align with either side.


We can pray for the innocents who are as victimized by their own armies as they are by any outside enemy. We can intercede, praying that He withhold judgment to allow as many to hear the gospel as possible before the end of the age. We can pray that God’s kingdom come - that His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

Almost two years ago I blogged about How To Get Design-Time Support for DotNetNuke Controls, and back then the solution seemed to be the easiest, just change one setting in your project and everything was just fine. Well, as the years have progressed and people have downloaded and worked with projects I've ran into a few issues with this route and now have a better solution for this.
Before I show the new solution that I recommend for this type of situation I thought I would start by noting why I have an issue with the way that my previous recommendation worked. There are a number of issues, but the primary issues are two fold.
First of all, using an IIS specific URL in the manner that is recommended in the older article you must always run Visual Studio 2010 as an Administrator. This isn't necessarily a "big deal", but now that I don't have to do it for other things, it gets REALLY annoying when I have to restart VS due to not being in administrator mode.
Secondly and the most important reason is that when you go to work with the solution on another computer, or to share the code with someone else they must also have the exact same IIS URL configured that you did. In my example all of my machines were using localhost/dnn, but not everyone else would use the same.
Now, the solution that is outlined is still 100% valid, and honestly is still the "easiest" method as there are no code changes needed to actually get it working, but for portability and ease of use this new solution is easier to work with.
From an .ascx perspective, the process will be the same, you will register the use control with the reference to ~/Controls/TextEditor.ascx similar to the following (Normally on one line):
<%@ Register Src="~/Controls/TextEditor.ascx" TagName="TextEditor" TagPrefix="dnn" %>
Now, the rest of the process to declare the controls are the same simply declare them and give them the proper values for your desired configuration. The difference comes in what you do AFTER you have completed adding the controls.
Open your .ascx.designer.cs (or .vb for those of you with VB) and find the declarations for your text editor controls and REMOVE them from this file.


Now, go to your .ascx.cs (or .vb) file and add declarations for each TextEditor control that you would like to have, as an example the following creates a declaration for a TextEditor called txtSummary.
protected DotNetNuke.UI.UserControls.TextEditor txtSummary;
Now, you have full ability to work with the text editor, no dependency on IIS or administrator permissions to your machine. Yes, you have to go in and edit the taboo designer file, but it does make development a lot better! Share any comments below!
DnnModule.com is built to provide DNN quality modules and DNN skins, some of them are free, some not. We wish these stuffs (free or not ) can be useful to you.

We act as if your development project or network was ours, with care and respect. We are not satisfied until it works the way you want it to, and we don't silently ignore found issues as somebody else's problem.

So I finally have stamped something. Like I have told you, I like to check out Splitcoaststampers challenges. Today's color challenge is to use real red, barely banana and creamy caramel. I have substituted real red with ruby red. The size of the card is 5 1/4" x 5 1/4". I started out with deciding to use Both Way Blossoms today. And since these stamps are quite large, I had to make a larger the usual card that I usually make. The sentiment is from Happy Harmony.

Protect California Waters from Industrial Pollution
Too many California beaches, coastal areas, and rivers are plagued by pollution from landfills, oil refineries, metal recycling facilities, and other industrial facilities. Polluted runoff from industrial facilities can contaminate our waterways with lead, aluminum and other toxic pollutants. These pollutants are highly toxic and endanger California communities and watersheds.
California's State Water Board has recently issued a Final Draft of their update to the 15-year old Industrial General Stormwater Permit. Unfortunately, after more than two years of work, the current Draft Permit fails to make necessary improvements, and in several respects, weakens industrial pollution controls. Please tell the State Water Board to develop a strong Industrial Stormwater Permit and require everyone to do their part to protect California’s waters.
Learn more and get involved at healthebay.org.
- Chair and Members, California State Water Board
- Clerk to the Board, California State Water Board
I strongly support the State Water Board's work to update the 15-year old Industrial General Stormwater Permit. Runoff from industrial facilities can contain heavy metals such as lead, zinc and copper. These pollutants are highly toxic and endanger California communities and watersheds. Unfortunately, after more than two years of work, the current Draft Permit fails to make necessary improvements, and in several respects, weakens industrial pollution controls.
This permit grants the worst polluters unfair economic advantage, and will make few improvements to reduce pollution to California's bays, rivers, and ocean. In particular, I object to new permit language that delays or fails to encourage industrial stormwater polluters to implement the best stormwater pollution treatment technologies. This creates confusion among the industrial community and regulators alike. California needs to make sure that industrial polluters implement the most up-to-date stormwater pollution controls and treatment technologies if we are going to clean-up the hundreds of degraded rivers, lakes, and shorelines around the State, and facilitate efficient permit enforcement.
The draft fails to include enforceable limits for toxic chemicals associated with stormwater runoff from the thousands of industrial facilities across California. I urge the State Water Board to work with staff to develop a streamlined permit that is clear and enforceable, and achieves the shared goal of collecting more and better data.


Please develop a strong, enforceable Industrial Stormwater Permit that helps ensure that California waterways are safe for swimming, drinking, and fishing.

Head of Amsterdam Neighborhood Council Attacks Police
Ahmed Marcouch, head of the Slotervaart Neighborhood Council in Amsterdam, claims that on the afternoon before New Year’s Eve, he had informed the police that he expected vandalism in the neighborhood that night, yet no action was taken. That evening 50 hooligans threw stones through the windows of the police station and burned police cars. The police say that there had been no indications of expected vandalism, especially as it had been quiet in the neighborhood since the October riots there.

Michigan keeps Penn State winless in Big Ten
Wolverines stay perfect ( 4-0 ) in conference play
Nik Stauskas scored 13 of his 21 points in the second half, and Michigan remained unbeaten in Big Ten play with an 80-67 victory over Penn State on Tuesday night.
The Wolverines (12-4, 4-0) led 47-45 when a 3-pointer by Stauskas started a 19-5 run that gave Michigan a comfortable advantage. Derrick Walton added 16 points for the Wolverines, and Glenn Robinson III scored 15.
D.J. Newbill and Tim Frazier scored 17 points apiece for Penn State (9-9, 0-5), but those two backcourt standouts weren't enough against a balanced Michigan team. The Wolverines have won six straight, all without star big man Mitch McGary, who is out indefinitely with a back injury.
Michigan and rival Michigan State are the Big Ten's only teams without a conference loss.
Michigan led by as many as 14 in the first half, but it was 40-33 at halftime, and the Nittany Lions hung around for a while. With the Wolverines ahead by only two, Stauskas connected from beyond the arc to make it 50-45. Newbill answered with a jumper, but Michigan scored the next nine points, including a three-point play by Caris LeVert and an alley-oop dunk by Robinson from LeVert that made it 59-47.
Walton, a freshman, has been gaining confidence after taking over the point guard duties when Trey Burke went to the NBA. Walton made a big driving layup at the end of Michigan's win at Nebraska last week, and he scored the first eight points of Tuesday's game on two 3-pointers and a layup.
Michigan led 8-0, and at that point Penn State had four turnovers and only one shot attempt. After a 3-pointer by Spike Albrecht and a dunk by Jordan Morgan, the Wolverines led 30-18.
Penn State upset Michigan in February for one of its two Big Ten victories last season. The Nittany Lions never led Tuesday. Frazier did have six assists, passing Dan Earl for second place on Penn State's career list. Frazier has 576.
Donovan Jack scored 12 points for Penn State.


Jon Horford gave Michigan a boost inside with 11 points and seven rebounds.
Michigan will now begin a much tougher stretch of its conference schedule. The Wolverines play at Wisconsin on Saturday, then host Iowa before the showdown at Michigan State on Jan. 25.

G.M.O. Genetically Modified Organisms
Is it just me or do we all realize not to ever ingest poison? Genetically Modified Organisms are this very thing. Maybe not quite as dramatic as drinking a gallon of Round-Up, the facts do remain that G.M.O. are a direct threat to our most precious resource, the eco-system within our precious vessel in which we breathe, drink, eat, and share life, our Bodies.
to our Naturally Cellular structures. They sneak right up into our systems with never a how-do-you-do and proceed to get to work within our sensitive Cellular structure
Soybeans (if you can find non-G.M.O.) are a good Natural source of Omega 3 fatty Acids however in this book, ‘The World’s Healthiest Foods’, author George Mateljan has this to say about soybeans being a source of Omega 3 fatty Acids:
“A special note about SDA soybeans: Late in 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval for inclusion of a new genetically-modified form of soybean oil called “SDA soybean oil” on the Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) List. Monsanto – the company which patented the new soybean oil – took genes from a flower (Primula juliae) and from red bread mold (Neurospora crassa) and inserted them into soybeans in such a way that an omega-3 fatty acid called stearidonic acid (SDA) could be produced by the soybeans and become a part of the soybeans’ fat content. Since SDA is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid, its added presence in these soybeans and soybean oil might be considered by some consumers as a good way to get increased omega-3 nourishment. However, we do not recommend genetically modified foods of any kind as a way to support better nourishment, and SDA soybeans would be included in our list of genetically modified foods that are best avoided.


Home Depot Decides to Include Local Pittsburgh Pizzeria in its Plans Rather than Try to Have it Condemned
In 1998, Home Depot announced plans to build an $8 million, 131,000 square foot store and garden center on the former site of an old Sears store in the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh. However, a number of local small businesses would have to be displaced in order to accommodate the Home Depot and adjacent parking lot. These businesses included a bar, a dry cleaner, a nail salon, and Vento’s Pizza, a popular pizzeria that had been in the area for over 50 years.1 The Pittsburgh Urban Redevelopment Agency (PURA) hoped to avoid using eminent domain for the project, and promised to find suitable, nearby locations for the displaced businesses. The relocation effort was a success, except in the case of Vento’s Pizza. Vento’s objected to PURA’s plan to relocate the pizzeria from its prominent location on Highland Avenue to a less traveled side street. A bitter local controversy followed, pitting proponents of the redevelopment against a fiercely loyal pizza constituency.
Although the battle over Vento’s threatened to derail the entire project, Home Depot saw an opportunity in East Liberty to spread some community goodwill. It began looking for ways to include the pizzeria in the development. Eventually, Home Depot reached an agreement with Vento’s, whereby Home Depot would purchase the Vento’s property and build the pizzeria a store within the new development. In January 1999, Vento’s closed its doors, and its building was demolished. Soon thereafter, construction began on the new Home Depot. In February 2000, the East Liberty Home Depot opened, along with a gleaming new location for Vento’s Pizza in the parking lot.2 Perhaps Home Depot will remember this experience the next time and refrain from enlisting the government to condemn private property on its behalf.

Left, right or centre, France's politicians are a ruling elite that resembles an ancien regime desperately clinging to its privilege and power, according to a new book by a Paris-based British author.
If you thought David Cameron and his Eton and Oxbridge clique were posh toffs out of touch with the real world, take a look over the Channel at the "tiny number of brilliant and charming men and women" who constitute the Gallic ruling class, says university lecturer Peter Gumbel.
In his new book, France's Got Talent: the Woeful Consequences of French Elitism, published on Wednesday, Gumbel takes a hard swipe at France's new nobility: the fewer than 500 graduates of elite schools that dominate the highest echelons of business and politics.
Often arrogant, untouchable, unaccountable – and almost certainly unsackable – Gumbel says France is still controlled by an "old boys' network", that makes the British government and business Britain appear a model of social diversity.
Just three years after he rattled the French establishment with a scathing indictment of the country's highly selective education system, Gumbel has turned his attention to the Gallic corridors of power and business.
"Since the Revolution, France has had this mythology that it is a meritocracy, that anyone can rise to the highest positions in society by virtue of their intellectual brilliance," Gumbel told the Guardian.
"The idea is the brightest kids in the class can go on to run the country, but it doesn't work. Those in this elite come from much the same upper middle-class background and they are not running the country well.
"They may be smart and swots and get grammar and maths but they don't have experience or, necessarily, ability."
Gumbel added: "David Cameron gets a hard time for surrounding himself with old Etonian buddies and being out of touch, but compared with François Hollande, who has surrounded himself with his old classmates, Cameron seems harmless. In France it's still a system of jobs-for-the-boys that was prevalent in Britain back in the 1950s."
Gumbel says the book is aimed at the disillusioned French public, which is fed up with Hollande and turning to the extreme right and left in increasing numbers, but which "may not be aware of the extent to which the elitist culture it endures is anything but normal by international standards".


He said: "It's not so much a glass ceiling as a concrete one. And with a tiny number of people coming up to run everything, everyone else feels frustrated and left behind."
Gumbel's previous book, They Shoot School Kids, Don't They?, detailed how only about 5% of France's top students get into classe préparatoire [preparatory classes], the "military-style boot camps" that provide intense grounding for the country's 200 elite grandes écoles.
The book was widely reviewed in France and prompted an invitation to the Élysée Palace to talk about education reforms.
"Ever since I arrived in Paris in 2002 … I have been surprised by the pervasive culture of elitism in France. If this country were a TV show, it would be France's Got Talent, a fiercely competitive contest to show off how clever you are," Gumbel writes.
However, Gumbel says the entire contest is flawed. "Those chosen aren't always the best suited for the roles they are given, while the losers are marked for life."
Britain, the US, Germany and many other countries have broadened their leadership to better reflect their diverse societies, he says. "France is bucking this trend. Here, the demands, if anything, are becoming more elitist."
France has barely opened up, he says, since a 1900 parliamentary report by Alexandre Ribot noted: "A system that classifies men at the age of 20 based on the diplomas they have received deprives the state of the right to choose those who are outstanding, self-made professionals". The report said the system gave those who succeeded "the illusion they simply have to stand in line in order to receive a government post".
And once in the top job, there is little incentive to change anything: mandarins, says Gumbel, "can't be fired … at worst they're 'put in a cupboard', meaning shunted off to a low-profile job or a comfortable sinecure".
As a civil servant told him: "It's like an elevator. You step in and move up."
Gumbel, who lectures at one of France's most elite educational establishments, the Institute d'Études Politiques, better known as Sciences Po and which has educated five of the Fifth Republic's seven presidents, adds: "France needs elites, but it needs better ones.


It needs people who are good at drafting reports, but even better at implementing their recommendations.
"To paraphrase General de Gaulle, how is it possible that in a nation that has 365 varieties of cheese, there are so few paths to the top?"
Facts and figures from Gumbel's book
• The École Nationale d'Administration (ENA) and the École Polytechnique, the most elite of France's top schools, admit just 480 students a year – 0.057% of their age group and "a proportion so minuscule it could be a statistical error".
• In 1980 an American study of managerial practices found 80% of the top executives of France's largest companies came from five grandes écoles.
• A study by Luc Rouban of CEVIPOF, Science Po's political research centre, found that Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, the 1970s president, had 61% of his entourage from Polytechnique and ENA; Sarkozy, 55% of immediate staff; Hollande is back to Giscard's levels.
• Only 12% of ENA students are from what could be described as working or lower-middle class families, according to the social trend monitoring agency, the Observatoire des Inégalités. And just 11% of Polytechnique students qualify for financial grants.
• ENA and Polytechnique take 480 admissions a year; Oxford and Cambridge take 3,400; US Ivy League universities (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth College, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Brown) take 24,000.
• Every year around 75 graduates of ENA and Polytechnique join the grands corps de l'État (grand state corps), for fast-track civil service careers and jobs for life. Britain's civil service fast-track scheme chose 390 candidates in 2011 (26% of whom were from Oxbridge).
• Every year 830,000 pupils start secondary school. Of those, 570,000 pass the baccalaureate, but only 280,000 take the "general" bac as opposed to the professional and technical alternatives considered inferior. Of these just 40,000 – around 5% – will go to prep classes and 1,500 will be accepted at Science Po. Of the 260,000 who don't obtain any bac, the majority are from poor or modest backgrounds.


• A 2003 European Central Bank report on the efficiency of the public sector in 23 countries ranked France 20th.

After living in its mother's basement in Steamboat Springs for more than a decade, Pirate Theatre is finally "leaving the nest" and taking its show on the road. The troupe's latest multimedia musical comedy, "Powder Haze: A Day in the Life at a Ski Town," will be performing at the Boulder International Fringe Festival from Aug. 23-25, 2012, in the legendary People's Republic of Boulder, Colo.
However, the group needed to take some baby steps before leaving its beloved home, so it scheduled a one-time performance in Steamboat Springs on Saturday, August 18, at 8 p.m. But in order to get their coddled and insecure prima donna performers out of their comfort zones, the show will be held, for the first time ever, at the outdoor stage in Gondola Square (buy tix here or at All That Jazz in Steamboat).
"It's about damn time those kids got out of my basement and tried to do something with their lives," said Gaia Pirate, the mother whose basement was a comfortable haven to Pirate Theatre for so many years. "Most of them are grown men and women, yet the idea of doing something outside of Steamboat had them pissing in their knickers."
Brian Harvey, head of Pirate Theatre and lead knicker pisser, admitted that this was a big step for the quasi-famous-in-Steamboat group.
"We've gotten comfortable being relatively big fish in this tiny little pond that is Steamboat Springs," said Harvey. "But we woke up one day and said, 'Dammit, let's go be tiny-ass little minnows in a much bigger pond ... and try not to get eaten whole and crapped out the back.' Wait? Why are we doing this?"
Although being in Boulder for four days, surrounded by freaky artists and hippies, is enough to scare any self-respecting Steamboater, Pirate Theatre further turned up the danger level by agreeing to do an outdoor show in a part of the world known for afternoon thunderstorms and audiences prone to be really drunk by 8 p.m. on a Saturday night.
"Performing the show in front of hundreds of strangers in Boulder should be a piece of cake compared to a giant crowd of boozed and surly Steamboaters who expect us to make them laugh every 14 seconds," added Harvey.


"And I've already spent all the ticket money from that show on my new moped, which you may have seen me carousing around town on, so if that performance rains out, I'm screwed."
"You did what with the money?" asked Todd Danielson, lead writer for the show who was silently listening, right behind Harvey. "Great. Better bring your parkas then, people, as the show will go on even if there's a monsoon out there. Can I take the moped out for a spin? I'm feeling very European today ..."
The outdoor show is part of the All Arts Festival taking place in Steamboat from Aug. 16-19, 2012, the first time Pirate Theatre has joined the program.
"They say 'All Arts,'" noted Harvey. "So I guess we qualified in some capacity."


How does an atoll form?
Many people have studied the origins of these structures: the most famous is Charles Darwin (1809-1882), whose theory is still the most widely accepted and by now corroborated by geological and palaeontological surveys. To explain the origins of an atoll, for instance, there are at the onset a series of surf barriers surrounding the coasts of a volcanic island. Due to the movements of the earth’s crust the island slowly begins to sink, while the coral belt keeps growing. When the island has sunk down, the coral ring finishes surrounding the entire lagoon, leaving only some small canals with strong tidal currents that keep the atoll communicating with the open sea. The current, the waves, the tides and the growth of corals alter the part of the atoll rising out of the water, which can be a few metres above sea level, sometimes forming quite large islands.

The 1960’s US art scene was not all abstraction and Pop. Chicago had its own art moment – the Imagists. The group aesthetic was defined by quirky figuration and use of graphics. Sometimes the work looks like Pop – a love of bright colours and signage – though without the irony. Says the writer “I find myself falling for the work against my better judgment”.

Fans may despise Tameka Foster, but Usher is madly in love with his future baby's mama.
That could change, however, if his new wife doesn't deliver a son to the R&B superstar. He recently told Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show that he really wants a little man around the house.
Ellen: "Last time you were here, you were single. You said you wanted a lady that you could take from the Waffle House to the White House. You found her."
Usher: "I did. I found someone that I'm very, very happy to call my wife."
Ellen: "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Usher: "I don't know. I want it to be a boy."
Ellen: "Now, you're going to have a girl and she's going to see this tape and say, "Daddy, why don't you love me?" You better save some for some therapy. But you're going to love her if it's a little girl."
Ellen: "You want a boy, why? So you can play sports with him?"
Usher: "I think every man wants a son. He's own little own doll. If it's a boy, I'm going to name him Usher. I'm hoping to name him that. I've been playing with a few names. I'm the fourth. Usher Raymond the fourth. I just want to pass the name on. Maybe I'll change the middle name."


I have been very busy lately, so I don't have much time for stories, but thought I would let everyone know that trapping has been going pretty good. I had picked up one fisher and then on my next check, I had a three fisher day. I have never picked up three fisher on the same day, so I was pretty excited to say the least! There has always been something about the fisher that has fascinated me. I am not sure if it is their elusive nature, or their "top dog" status in our north woods of Maine, but the "black cat" has always piqued my interest. In certain areas, I had been noticing what seemed to be a decrease in populations, but it appears to be on the rebound now. I don't know if that is due to the limit restrictions that have been placed on them or just the poor trapping conditions that we experienced last year, giving them a year to restock. Keep in mind my sample size is very low and restricted to areas that I trap. Anyway I look at it, I am happy with four fishers in the skinning shed!


Lectures and exams at all universities in the Netherlands are cancelled as of today (Friday). ‘The cabinet calls on all institutions to continue education online where possible.’ The Dutch government chose not to close schools or universities, arguing the measure would be too disruptive.
According to the Association of Universities (VSNU), Dutch campuses will remain open where possible and events can go as planned if there are less than one-hundred attendees. The VSNU has repeated the cabinet’s call to ‘work from home if that’s possible’.
This is not cancelled:
The UvA campuses will remain open as much as possible, although employees and students with symptoms of illness are asked to respect their peers and teachers and stay home. All events, with the exception of promotions, will be cancelled. This concerns, for example, inaugural lectures, but also events organised by study associations. Promotions can proceed if the ceremony is ‘small’. The UvA will publish all relevant information on Canvas.
On Thursday, the Dutch government advised universities to provide online lectures to help limit social contact and the spreading of the virus. Unlike governments of many other European countries, the Dutch government chose not to close schools or universities, arguing the measure would be too disruptive. The UvA states that the virus, ‘should not effect study progress’ and that, ‘we will do our utmost to find a suitable solution’.
Debate centre Spui25, cultural student centre Crea and the University Sports Centre (USC) will close
The university has also canceled the Bachelor’s Day, an open day for prospective students. The UvA expected over 12,000 people from around the country and abroad to attend, and reported that according to the ‘recently drawn up National Governmental framework for events,’ it was therefore considered a high-risk event. The university hopes to provide the relative information online instead.
Shortage of mouth masks
A conference on the coronavirus that was planned in the Amsterdam UMC building has also been cancelled, as have all lectures of the Faculty of Medicine held in the building. The hospital will remain open for regular care. Hospital employees are advised not to go to international conferences or on holiday to areas flagged by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment as ‘risky’. Employees who return from risk areas and have physical complaints must report this to the hospital and stay at home. Healthy hospital employees can continue their work but must avoid contact with patients with immune disorders.


At the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (Acta), only urgent cases will be treated due to a shortage of masks. Checkups, hygienist appointments and restoration work will not go ahead until further notice, states local TV station AT5. The mask shortage is predicted to last until summer. At Acta, all treatments require dentists to wear a mask.
A spokesperson for the Amsterdam UMC has stated that it has ‘thousands of masks’ left, but that staff should use them only if it is medically necessary. ‘If we suddenly receive one hundred patients, our stock will be gone in no time’. Agreements will be made for the mouth mask policy to prevent shortages at academic medical centres.

Lead exposure in mothers can affect future generation
Researchers discover evidence that lead exposure in mothers can affect future generation
A team of researchers at Wayne State University have discovered that mothers with high levels of lead in their blood not only affect the fetal cells of their unborn children, but also their grandchildren. Their study, Multigenerational epigenetic inheritance in humans: DNA methylation changes associated with maternal exposure to lead can be transmitted to the grandchildren, was published online this week in Scientific Reports.
It’s a known fact that babies in the womb can be affected by low levels of lead exposure. If a pregnant woman is exposed to lead, the lead passes through the placenta into the baby’s developing bones and other organs. Pregnant women with a past exposure to lead can also affect the unborn child’s brain, causing developmental problems later in life. Previous research studies have suggested that exposure to heavy metal toxicants can influence a person’s global DNA methylation profile.
In the recent Wayne State study led by Douglas Ruden, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology and the Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, director of epigenomics, and program leader in the Center for Urban Responses to Environmental Stressors, he and his research team revealed that lead exposure can cause specific changes in DNA methylation, which can be detected in dried blood spots beyond one generation. The neonatal blood spots from both the mothers and children in this study were obtained from the Michigan Neonatal Biobank, a unique resource that has most of the neonatal dried blood spots from children born in Michigan since 1984.
According to Ruden, epigenetic effects of environmental exposures beyond one generation have not yet been demonstrated in humans prior to this study. He and his team tested the hypothesis that human fetal germ cell exposure to environmental toxins causes epigenetic changes in the newborn blood from a grandchild of an exposed pregnant woman.
“Our results suggest that lead exposure during pregnancy affects the DNA methylation status of the fetal germ cells, which leads to altered DNA methylation in grandchildren’s neonatal dried blood spots,” said Ruden. “This is the first demonstration that an environmental exposure in pregnant mothers can have an epigenetic effect on the DNA methylation pattern in the grandchildren.”
The research team stated that this novel, two-generational study design might be able to identify the genes that may serve as possible candidate biomarkers for future transgenerational risk assessment studies.
