Book on 'unheard cases' of Pedra Branca challenge launched
Pedra Branca: Story Of The Unheard Cases.
By Gwyneth Teo @GwynethTeoCNA
30 Jan 2019 10:25PM (Updated: 30 Jan 2019 10:38PM )
SINGAPORE: Three legal and diplomatic stalwarts have published a book documenting the case Singapore prepared against Malaysia over the sovereignty of Pedra Branca.
In 2017, Malaysia had filed applications requesting interpretation and revision of the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) 2008 judgment, which ruled that Singapore had sovereignty over Pedra Branca.
Just two weeks before the scheduled oral hearings, however, Malaysia decided to drop the cases. A new government headed by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad had come into power, following the landmark elections last May.

"I felt like a boxer that had trained for 17 months for an important contest, and at the last minute to be given a walkover," said Ambassador-at-large Professor Tommy Koh, co-author of Pedra Branca: Story of the Unheard Cases.
"So the three of us decided to do the next best thing – write a book about it," he added at the book launch on Wednesday (Jan 30).
His co-authors are former deputy prime minister S Jayakumar and Deputy Attorney-General Lionel Yee.
They recount how Singapore's team prepared for the cases, and reveal behind-the-scenes accounts of the "unheard cases". The book also serves as a sequel to Pedra Branca: The Road to the World Court, which was co-authored by professors Koh and Jayakumar.
Both of them were were part of the legal team that Singapore had assembled for Malaysia's challenge to the ICJ judgment, along with Attorney-General Lucien Wong and former Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong.

Speaking at the event, Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan commended the close inter-agency teamwork in preparing for the case. He noted that the team comprised people from the second, third and fourth generations of civil servants across four ministries, as well as the Attorney-General's Chambers, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore and the National Archives of Singapore.
"Whenever our national interests are challenged, it is crucial that Singapore is able to mount a response that is robust and vigorous. And to do so, we need – we will always need – resourceful, experienced and committed officers, and the ability to function as a whole of government across all agencies," said Dr Balakrishnan.

References were also made at the launch event to the ongoing maritime and airspace dispute between Singapore and Malaysia. Prof Koh explained why efforts were taken last December to forestall any attempt to open a third-party adjudication process on maritime boundary disputes.
"All we want to do is to be consulted, to agree on the choice of forum, and the precise manner that the issue is to be framed," said Prof Koh.
He also said it was fortunate that both Malaysia and Singapore believe in the rule of law.

Prof Jayakumar, who was also law and foreign affairs minister, added that apart from strong legal and diplomatic officers, good political leadership is also key in dealing with such diplomatic issues.
"You need good political leadership to manage the bilateral relations, in such a way that you keep things on an even keel," he said. "Don't let the latest issue derail the overall tenor of cooperation and bilateral relations. I think that's very important."
"Second, I think it's important to have a sense of national unity and consensus," he added. "It's good that … there was a sense of support for the government and for the team in dealing with Pedra Branca, or the more recent problems we've had. And that sense of unity amongst the people really helps."

A rocky outpost located 44km off Singapore's east coast, the dispute over the ownership of Pedra Branca, referred to by Malaysia as Batu Puteh, dates back to 1979 when Malaysia published a map indicating that the island was within the country's territorial waters.
Singapore protested and the matter was brought to the ICJ in 2003.
On May 23, 2008, the ICJ ruled that Singapore had sovereignty over Pedra Branca, while Middle Rocks was awarded to Malaysia and South Ledge belonged to the state in whose territorial waters it is located.

B.C. premier disappointed by approval of Trans Mountain expansion
B.C. Premier John Horgan says he's disappointed by the federal approval of the controversial Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, a sentiment echoed by environmentalists across the province.
But Horgan added that Ottawa has the authority to give the green light, and he'll focus on making sure B.C. can protect its territory from the impact of a spill.
"I believe it's my job as the premier of British Columbia to always be vigilant to protect those things that matter to British Columbians, and I'll continue to do that, " he said.
Horgan spoke just minutes after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet announced that they have given the project the go-ahead.
The expansion is designed to carry nearly a million barrels of oil each day from Alberta's oilpatch to the pipeline terminal in Burnaby.
We are disappointed that the federal government has re-approved a project that poses great risks to our coast, our environment and our economy.
mdash;@jjhorgan
Last month, the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled against the provincial government's proposal for environmental legislation that would effectively stop the expansion project. The proposed law would have allowed the province to limit the flow of "heavy oil" into B.C., but the court said that would be in direct conflict with federal jurisdiction over interprovincial pipelines.
B.C. officials have said they are appealing that court decision.
Environment Minister George Heyman said Tuesday that he continues to oppose the expansion.
"We know that British Columbians continue to be deeply concerned about the consequences of a sevenfold increase in tanker traffic in the Salish Sea," Heyman told reporters.
"We will not abandon our responsibility to protect our land and our water."

Support from Washington state
And the NDP government is getting support from south of the border, where Washington's Gov. Jay Inslee said he was alarmed and deeply disappointed by Ottawa's decision, and ready to stand with Horgan.
But the B.C. Opposition is urging the government to give up the fight.
"Today's decision will bring jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars to local communities along the pipeline route. It will also provide an increased supply of refined and refinable product in the line," B.C. Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson said.
"It's a great day for B.C. and a great day for Canada."
A climate emergency
This is the second time the cabinet has approved the project, but the last approval was nullified by the Federal Court of Appeal in 2018. The court said there had been inadequate consultation with Indigenous groups and insufficient environmental review.
Coastal First Nations said Tuesday that they plan to appeal the cabinet decision once again. Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart, who spoke alongside Indigenous leaders opposed to the project, said the city would do "everything in our power" to support local First Nations in their court battles.

Tuesday's decision to move forward was immediately slammed by environmentalists, who suggested it was ironic to approve an oil and gas project less than 24 hours after declaring a national climate emergency.
"This is like declaring war on cancer and then announcing a campaign to promote smoking," Patrick McCully, the climate and energy program director at Rainforest Action Network, said in a news release.
Margot Venton, the nature director for environmental law charity Ecojustice, said she saw no justification for the decision.
"The reality is that the government can put Canada on the path to a safe climate future and fulfil its legal responsibility to protect endangered killer whales, or it can push this pipeline through. It cannot do both," Venton said in a news release.
Some B.C. business leaders, on the other hand, applauded the news.
"It is high time that we move forward, collectively as Canadians, to build this infrastructure and get our natural resources to international markets," said Greater Vancouver Board of Trade president and CEO Iain Black.

What is a Wrist Fracture?
The wrist is made up of an exceedingly complex network of interconnected bones and ligaments, allowing us a near endless range of motions in our hands and forearms. When this area becomes damaged, it's no wonder that diagnoses can sometimes be tricky, as there are a multitude of different ways the wrist can be injured. At WristSupports.co.uk, we're committed to educating our customers about their wrists, and helping them to choose the best supports and braces to help them heal. In this article, we'll tackle the Wrist Fracture.
A Wrist Fracture is simply a medical term for a broken wrist, but, when it comes to specific classification of the injury, things become less simple. This is because the wrist is made up of eight small bones, which connect to the two bones of the forearm: the ulna (little-finger side) and radius (thumb side). A Wrist Fracture occurs when any of these ten bones becomes broken, of which the most common to break is to the radius.
Symptoms, causes and treatments of Wrist Fractures depend on which bone is broken, and the severity of the break. In general, Wrist Fractures are split into five categories:
Non-Displaced Fractures: These can be stable fractures, and are the least severe. In these fractures, the bones do not move out of place.
Displaced Fractures: These can also be stable enough to be treated by a simple cast or splint, but involve the bone moving slightly out of place. In these instances, the bone needs to be put back into place, in a process called "reduction", or "setting".
Unstable Fractures: This type of fracture is more severe. In these cases, even if the bones are set back into place under a cast, the bone pieces are prone to shifting back out of position. This can lead to the area healing in an incorrect position, which can make the wrist appear crooked after recovery.
Comminuted Fractures: This is a more severe type of fracture, in which the bone shatters into many pieces. These fractures often require surgery to ensure the bones are correctly aligned.
Open Fractures: This fracture can appear especially gruesome, as it involves the bone, or a fragment of bone, breaking through the skin. This can lead to an increase of complications, and a risk of infection to the bone itself.
Types of Wrist Fracture
While the severity of a Wrist Fracture is a primary aspect of diagnosis, just as important is the area affected. Since there are eight carpal bones in the wrist, and two forearm bones, there are quite a few types of Wrist Fracture that can occur. Some of the most common include:
Distal Radius Fracture: This most common type of Wrist Fracture occurs when the distal end of the radius becomes broken.
Colles' Fracture: This is a type of distal radius fracture in which the broken radius move upward to the top of the wrist. This usually occurs when the wrist is impacted while extended.
Smith's Fracture: The Smith's Fracture is another type of distal radius fracture, in which the radius breaks while in a flexed position.
Greenstick Fracture: This is a common type of Wrist Fracture among children. Since their bones are softer than an adult's and yet to develop density, they can bend without breaking. In this fracture, one side of the bone breaks, while the other is simply bent.
Scaphoid Fracture: A common type of fracture to the scaphoid, one of the eight carpal bones of the wrist.
Distal Ulna Fracture: This is a type of fracture involving breaks in both the ulna and radius. Both bones will break at the point nearest to your hand, as they connect to the eight carpal bones.
The complex bones that make up the wrist
How to Tell a Break from a Sprain?
One of the most common misdiagnoses of a Wrist Fracture is as a wrist sprain, and vice versa. This is because the two share a large number of symptoms in common, but require different treatments. In most cases, proper diagnosis will require an x-ray by your physician, but it's helpful to know the signs of each for proper first aid after injury. We've put together a few of the most reliable ways to tell before you reach the doctor's office:
Wrist Fractures
Wrist Sprains
Usually caused by a sudden impact
Causes a popping or cracking noise
Reduction of range of motion in fingers
Numbness to the general area
Limited movement of the wrist joint
Constant dull ache that doesn't ease up
Wrist can move, but causes discomfort
Redness or warmth at the wrist joint
Swelling or bruising to the area
Intermittent pain associated with movement (not a constant dull ache)
Treatment of a Wrist Fracture
As has been mentioned above, treatment of your Wrist Fracture will depend both on the severity of the break, and the bones of the wrist involved. They can also depend on the types of activities you need to carry out, and your general health at the time. Most commonly, treatment depends on whether the fracture is stable, where the bones can reliably be set back in position, or unstable, where the bones are prone to shifting.
Unstable Fractures
This type of Wrist Fracture is usually more complex, and may require surgery. If a splint or cast is placed without surgery, the bones can often shift out of position, leading to risks of further injury, or the bone healing crookedly.
Stable Fractures
These Wrist Fractures can usually be treated more easily. In some cases, minor repositioning must be done, known as a "closed reduction", in which the bone can be positioned without surgery. After that, an immobilising splint should be used in order to allow the area to rest and reduce the risk of reaggravation of the injury. This splinting is usually combined with the use of anti-inflammatory medication, along with physical therapy to rehabilitate the muscles and ligaments of the wrist.
Which Wrist Support Should I Choose?
Once your Wrist Fracture has been reset in the proper position by your physician, the next step is immobilisation. If you and your doctor decide a splint is sufficient instead of a cast, a sturdy splint that protects the area while providing immobilisation in key. Preventing movement in the area will protect your bones and ligaments from further damage, allowing the area to heal.

The effects of bevantolol on renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate and the drug's pharmacokinetics were studied for 7 days in 18 patients (mean age 50 years) with varying degrees of renal dysfunction. Patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 had a creatinine clearance of 50 to 80 ml/min, group 2, 20 to 49 ml/min and group 3, < 20 ml/min. After baseline inulin and paraaminohippuric acid clearance values were obtained, patients were given a single, 150-mg "priming" administration of bevantolol. The kinetics of the drug (including plasma drug levels, plasma half-life and plasma clearance) and its effects on renal function were observed for 24 hours. On days 4 to 6 of the study, patients received 150 mg of bevantolol twice daily, with only a single dose given on day 7. Bevantolol did not significantly affect either inulin or paraaminohippuric acid clearance in patients with differing degrees of renal function. In 50% of patients with a creatinine clearance of ≤50 ml/min, both the half-life and maximum trough serum levels were higher than the ranges seen in healthy subjects. However, neither value appears to be clinically relevant because bevantolol has a wide therapeutic range. Renal impairment did not change the percentages of the bevantolol dosage excreted unchanged or as conjugated drug in the urine, and no toxic or active drug metabolites accumulated in the blood. From these results, it appears that bevantolol may be used safely in short-term therapy of patients with renal impairment.

Identification and characterization of a recombinant metallothionein protein from a marine alga, Fucus vesiculosus. (1/4151)
A cDNA library was constructed from macroalgae adapted to prolonged elevated environmental copper levels. To investigate the possible existence of a metallothionein (MT) gene, the library was screened with degenerate probes designed using plant MT cysteine-rich motifs. A gene was identified (1229 bp) with a putative open reading frame (204 bp) encoding a 67-amino-acid protein exhibiting several characteristic features of MT proteins, including 16 cysteine residues (24%) and only one aromatic residue. Although the protein sequence showed high identity with plant and invertebrate MTs, it contained a unique 'linker' region (14 amino acid residues) between the two putative metal-binding domains which contained no cysteine residues. This extended linker is larger than the tripeptide found in archetypal vertebrate MTs, but does not conform either with the 40-amino-acid linkers commonly found in plant MT sequences. An S-peptide Fucus MT fusion protein expressed in Escherichia coli exhibited a relative molecular mass of approximately 14 kDa. The recombinant fusion bound seven Cd ions, of which 50% were dissociated at pH 4.1. Under anaerobic conditions, the Cd ions were displaced by Cu(I), which associated with the protein at a ratio of 13:1. Laboratory exposure of F. vesiculosus to elevated copper resulted in induction of the MT gene. Thus this paper describes, for the first time, an MT gene identified from macroalgae which is induced by copper exposure and whose encoded protein product binds cadmium and copper. (+info)
Interactions of membrane potential and cations in regulation of ciliary activity in Paramecium. (2/4151)
Ciliary activity in Paramecium was investigated in different external solutions using techniques of voltage clamp and high frequency cinematography. An increase in the external concentration of K, Ca or Mg ions decreased the resting potential. It had no effect on ciliary activity. When the membrane potential was fixed, an increase in external Ca or Mg and, to a lesser extent, an increase in K concentration, raised the frequency of normal beating or decreased the frequency of reversed beating of the cilia. Similar effects resulted from membrane hyperpolarization with constant ionic conditions. Increase in concentration of Ca, but not of Mg or K, enhanced hyperpolarization-induced augmentation of ciliary frequency. Increase in Ca concentration also specifically augmented the delayed increase in inward current during rapid hyperpolarizing clamp. The results support the view that [Ca]i regulates the frequency and direction of ciliary beating. It is suggested that the insensitivity of the ciliary motor system to elevations of the external concentrations of ions results from compensation of their effects on [Ca]i. Depolarization itself appears to increase [Ca]i while elevation of the external ion concentrations at a fixed membrane potential appears to decrease [Ca]i. (+info)
Purification and properties of a low-molecular-weight, high-alkaline pectate lyase from an alkaliphilic strain of Bacillus. (3/4151)
A low-molecular-weight, high-alkaline pectate lyase (pectate transeliminase, EC 4.2.2.2) was found in an alkaline culture of Bacillus sp. strain KSM-P15, purified to homogeneity, and crystallized. The enzyme had a relative molecular weight of approximately 20,300 as measured by sedimentation equilibrium, with a sedimentation coefficient (s20,w0) of 1.73 S. It was a basic protein with an isoelectric point of pH 10.3, and the alpha-helical content was only 6.6%. In the presence of Ca2+ ions, the enzyme degraded polygalacturonic acid in a random manner to yield 4,5-unsaturated oligo-galacturonides and had its optimal activity around pH 10.5 and 50-55 degrees C. It also had a protopectinase-like activity on cotton fibers. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of the intact protein (28 amino acids) and its two lysyl endopeptidase-cleaved peptide fragments (8 and 12 amino acids) had very low sequence similarity with pectate lyases reported to date. These results strongly suggest that the pectate lyase of Bacillus sp. strain KSM-P15 may be a novel enzyme and belongs in a new family. (+info)
Purification and characterization of Aspergillus ficuum endoinulinase. (4/4151)
Endoinulinase from Aspergillus ficuum, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of inulin via an endo-cleavage mode, was purified by chromatography from Novozym 230 as a starting commercial enzyme mixture on CM-Sephadex and DEAE-Sepharose, and by preparative electrophoresis under native conditions. The enzyme was estimated to be pure on the basis of its I/S ratio, whose value was infinite in our assay conditions. Two forms separated by using this method. SDS gel electrophoresis showed the two purified forms to respectively exhibit molecular weights of 64,000 +/- 500 and 66,000 +/- 1,000. The results of deglycosylation indicated that the two forms were originally the same protein but with different sugar contents. A molecular weight of 54,800 +/- 1,500 was found by gel filtration of the native enzyme, indicating the native functional protein to be a monomer. The enzyme showed nearly absolute substrate specificity towards inulin and inulooligosaccharides, and acted via an endo-attack to produce mainly inulotriose during the late stage of the reaction. The apparent Km and Vmax values for inulin hydrolysis were 8.1 +/- 1.0 mM and 773 +/- 60 U/mg, respectively. The internal peptides of the enzyme showed sequence homology to the endoinulinase of Penicillium purpurogenum. (+info)
Analysis of 118 second-generation metal-on-metal retrieved hip implants. (5/4151)
Osteolysis is due to particulate wear debris and is responsible for the long-term failure of total hip replacements. It has stimulated the development of alternative joint surfaces such as metal-on-metal or ceramic-on-ceramic implants. Since 1988 the second-generation metal-on-metal implant Metasul has been used in over 60 000 hips. Analysis of 118 retrieved specimens of the head or cup showed rates of wear of approximately 25 microm for the whole articulation per year in the first year, decreasing to about 5 microm per year after the third. Metal surfaces have a 'self-polishing' capacity. Scratches are worn out by further joint movement. Volumetric wear was decreased some 60-fold compared with that of metal-on-polyethylene implants, suggesting that second-generation metal-on-metal prostheses may considerably reduce osteolysis.

Adaptation of bulk constitutive equations to insoluble monolayer collapse at the air-water interface. (6/4151)
A constitutive equation based on stress-strain models of bulk solids was adapted to relate the surface pressure, compression rate, and temperature of an insoluble monolayer of monodendrons during collapse at the air-water interface. A power law relation between compression rate and surface pressure and an Arrhenius temperature dependence of the steady-state creep rate were observed in data from compression rate and creep experiments in the collapse region. These relations were combined into a single constitutive equation to calculate the temperature dependence of the collapse pressure with a maximum error of 5 percent for temperatures ranging from 10 degrees to 25 degrees C.

SAG, a novel zinc RING finger protein that protects cells from apoptosis induced by redox agents. (7/4151)
SAG (sensitive to apoptosis gene) was cloned as an inducible gene by 1,10-phenanthroline (OP), a redox-sensitive compound and an apoptosis inducer. SAG encodes a novel zinc RING finger protein that consists of 113 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 12.6 kDa. SAG is highly conserved during evolution, with identities of 70% between human and Caenorhabditis elegans sequences and 55% between human and yeast sequences. In human tissues, SAG is ubiquitously expressed at high levels in skeletal muscles, heart, and testis. SAG is localized in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus of cells, and its gene was mapped to chromosome 3q22-24. Bacterially expressed and purified human SAG binds to zinc and copper metal ions and prevents lipid peroxidation induced by copper or a free radical generator. When overexpressed in several human cell lines, SAG protects cells from apoptosis induced by redox agents (the metal chelator OP and zinc or copper metal ions). Mechanistically, SAG appears to inhibit and/or delay metal ion-induced cytochrome c release and caspase activation. Thus, SAG is a cellular protective molecule that appears to act as an antioxidant to inhibit apoptosis induced by metal ions and reactive oxygen species. (+info)
Amyloid beta peptides do not form peptide-derived free radicals spontaneously, but can enhance metal-catalyzed oxidation of hydroxylamines to nitroxides. (8/4151)
Amyloid beta (Abeta) peptides play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Free radical generation by Abeta peptides was suggested to be a key mechanism of their neurotoxicity. Reports that neurotoxic free radicals derived from Abeta-(1-40) and Abeta-(25-35) peptides react with the spin trap N-tert-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone (PBN) to form a PBN/.Abeta peptide radical adduct with a specific triplet ESR signal assert that the peptide itself was the source of free radicals. We now report that three Abeta peptides, Abeta-(1-40), Abeta-(25-35), and Abeta-(40-1), do not yield radical adducts with PBN from the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF). In contrast to OMRF PBN, incubation of Sigma PBN in phosphate buffer without Abeta peptides produced a three-line ESR spectrum. It was shown that this nitroxide is di-tert-butylnitroxide and is formed in the Sigma PBN solution as a result of transition metal-catalyzed auto-oxidation of the respective hydroxylamine present as an impurity in the Sigma PBN. Under some conditions, incubation of PBN from Sigma with Abeta-(1-40) or Abeta-(25-35) can stimulate the formation of di-tert-butylnitroxide. It was shown that Abeta peptides enhanced oxidation of cyclic hydroxylamine 1-hydroxy-4-oxo-2,2,6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine (TEMPONE-H), which was strongly inhibited by the treatment of phosphate buffer with Chelex-100. It was shown that ferric and cupric ions are effective oxidants of TEMPONE-H. The data obtained allow us to conclude that under some conditions toxic Abeta peptides Abeta-(1-40) and Abeta-(25-35) enhance metal-catalyzed oxidation of hydroxylamine derivatives, but do not spontaneously form peptide-derived free radicals.

The competition's back! Win a set of the paperback of The Preacher and a hardback of The Stonecutter by Camilla Lackberg (UK only alas).
Competition question and rules => here.
Foxy's been up to his tricks again. I wish I'd been able to photograph him when he first jumped up and his back legs were swinging through the bannister posts.
The Football Focus post has been updated with another football themed crime novel.
Another cover with wire fencing has been added to this cover theme post.
And the ever popular woman walking by the side of the Thames gets another entry.
If you hadn't heard of Henning Mankell, which one of these covers would entice you to pick the book up? The US one has a little of the US Stieg Larsson covers about it I think?
January 2006. In the Swedish hamlet of Hesjövallen, nineteen people have been massacred. The only clue is a red ribbon found at the scene.
Judge Birgitta Roslin has particular reason to be shocked: Her grandparents, the Andréns, are among the victims, and Birgitta soon learns that an Andrén family in Nevada has also been murdered. She then discovers the nineteenth-century diary of an Andrén ancestor—a gang master on the American transcontinental railway—that describes brutal treatment of Chinese slave workers. The police insist that only a lunatic could have committed the Hesjövallen murders, but Birgitta is determined to uncover what she now suspects is a more complicated truth.
The investigation leads to the highest echelons of power in present-day Beijing, and to Zimbabwe and Mozambique. But the narrative also takes us back 150 years into the depths of the slave trade between China and the United States—a history that will ensnare Birgitta as she draws ever closer to solving the Hesjövallen murders.
Ben Dunn has struck his first fiction deal at Random House, acquiring world rights (including dramatic rights) to a debut thriller, Girl 4 by British newcomer Will Carver.
Girl 4 is to be the first in a series featuring detective inspector January David and will be an Arrow paperback original in May 2011, with the second book in the series following in November 2011.
Dunn called Girl 4 "cool, clever modern fiction with an intensely visual quality to the writing" and "a fast-paced page-turner with a cracking plot and compelling twists".
Read the whole article in The Bookseller.
Quercus has acquired the first two books in a historical series by debut author Patrick Easter.
The first in the series, The Watermen, is set around the docklands of London in the late 18th century and introduces the character of Tom Pascoe – a patrolman with the Marine Police, Britain's first organised Police Force. Quercus will publish in spring 2011.
Many thanks for the kind comments about my back/health. Fortunately I'm ok now and I hope to do a bit more blogging next week compared to this previous one.
Michelle Peckham reviews Henning Mankell's The Man Who Smiled, tr. Laurie Thompson and compares it to the tv show.
I've just added a new-to-me Spanish author to the Euro Crime database. Telegram Books appear to be translating Eduardo Mendoza's trilogy about a detective in a mental asylum: The Mystery of the Enchanted Crypt was published in October 2008 and the follow-up, The Olive Labyrinth, is scheduled for October 2011.
Released from an asylum to help with a police enquiry, the quick–witted and foul–smelling narrator delves deep into the underworld of 1970s Barcelona to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a teenage girl from a convent school.
Helped only by his ageing prostitute sister and the voluptuous nymphomaniac, Mercedes, the narrator's investigations take him deeper into a mystery involving murdered sailors, suicidal daughters, a web of organised crime and a secret, underground crypt.
Mysteries and mishaps follow each other at breakneck speed, as the hapless detective delves beyond humour and the absurd to the frontiers of the truly surreal.
A brilliant send-up of the detective genre and of Spanish society, The Olive Labyrinth promises to have you in stitches.
Both titles are translated by Nick Caistor.
I rather enjoyed listening to God's Spy by Juan Gomez-Jurado last year - the action takes place during the election of the next Pope following Jean-Paul II's death. The 'hero' is Father Fowler, a military trained priest. He returns in Contract With God which came out last August in the UK and which will be published as The Moses Expedition in the US this August.
Back permitting, there should be a new competition available soon.
Pat Austin reviews The Janus Stone by Elly Griffiths calling it "a real tour-de-force"

The suspicious death of a second-hand car dealer at a model-railway exhibition seems a fairly routine case for Glaswegian detectives Thane and Moss. But this time the arrival in the city of a horde of international football fans for a big game complicates matters. The duo struggle to piece together the evidence against a backdrop of confusion and violence and find a trail that leads to an art robbery of unparalleled magnitude.
When Chief Inspector Lorimer returns from his holiday on the island of Mull, he feels a welcome sense of calm. But it doesn't last long. Kelvin FC's new star midfielder is found brutally stabbed to death in his own home and, with his wife apprehended trying to leave the country, a seemingly straightforward new case begins. But the grisly murder of a referee after a Kelvin match throws light on some dark secrets at the ground. And when the latest signing to the club becomes the latest victim in a string of killings, Lorimer knows there's a serial killer on the loose - one that's only beginning to show his true colours. As lies emerge and tensions build, the players and managers live under the constant threat of becoming the next Kelvin fatality.
It is a troublesome fact on which even Mma Ramotswe and her assistant Mma Makutsi agree: there are things that men know and ladies do not, and vice versa. It is unfortunate, for example, when Mma Ramotswe's newest client is the big-shot owner of the ailing Kalahari Swoopers, that one thing lady detectives know very little about is football. And when the glamorous Violet Sephotho sets her sights on Mma Makutsi's unsuspecting fiance, it becomes exasperatingly clear that some men do not know how to recognise a ruthless Jezebel even when she is bouncing up and down on the best bed in the Double Comfort Furniture Shop. In her attempt to foster understanding between the sexes and find the traitor on Mr Football's team, Mma Ramotswe ventures into new territory, drinks tea in unfamiliar kitchens and learns to trust in the observational powers of small boys.
About ten years ago Phil Andrews wrote two football themed books starring PI Steve Strong and Dougie Brimson wrote two books featuring football hooligan Billy Evans.
Going further back, the Classic Crime Fiction website has a dozen or so books football related crime novels from the 1940s and on.
Foul play's afoot at Bruton Rovers Football Club.
Bruton Rovers FC has been promoted to the Premiership, but Jim Capstick's days as Chairman have made him some enemies in the Lancashire mill town. With the team fighting relegation, the debts are piling high. But when the club is rocked by a murder after Jim makes a surprise announcement, the question's not who had the motive, but who had the balls to actually do it. 'Percy' Peach and DS Lucy Blake have their work cut out for them . .
Things are hotting up in the Third Division and it seems someone's nobbling players. Following the loss of one of his best strikers, Jimmy Lister, former England player and now ineffectual club manager, calls on the expertise of Duffy. Enter London's most unusual investigator. An ex-policeman with razor-sharp wit and an interminable sexual appetite, Duffy must investigate the murky world of lower-league football. He soon finds himself grappling with neo-Nazism and vicious sabotage - not to mention the niggling question of whether or not he really is too short to be a decent goalie. As deceit and violence abound, Duffy's set for a difficult game. Warm up's over; it's kick-off time.
Everyone knows football is a matter of life and death. But this time, it's murder. Scot Manson: team coach for London City FC and all-round fixer for the lads. Players love him, bosses trust him. But now the team's manager has been found dead at their home stadium. Even Scott can't smooth over murder...but can he catch the killer before he strikes again?
Norway's most powerful football agent, the charismatic and ruthless Arild Golden, is found brutally murdered. Rumours circulate about infidelity and secret deals, about billions that cannot be traced and stories about talented African footballers who are dumped without papers when they fail to make the grade in the professional game. The lawyer Steinar Brunsvik, a former player for Ajax and the Norwegian national team, as asked to represent murder suspect Taribo Shorunmo. Shorunmo is a former footballer living in Norway without a visa. Brunsvik discovers that his own football career has a connection to Golden's murder and realises he caught in the middle of a dirty game that could prove fatal.
After posting details of Robert Finn's free ebook the other day, I had an email from Stephen Davison to say that his book, Kill & Cure, was available for free download for a limited time.
You can read an excerpt on his website and the book can be downloaded via this page.
ITV today announced the commission of a brand new drama, KIDNAP AND RANSOM.
The series will star one of the UK's leading screen actors, TREVOR EVE as international hostage negotiator, Dominic King. The three x 60 minute primetime thriller is the first drama to come out of Eve's production company, Projector Pictures, whilst in partnership with talkbackTHAMES.
The series has been written by acclaimed scriptwriter Patrick Harbinson (24, Law and Order, ER), and is now in pre-production due to film in South Africa this Spring.
Eve will star alongside, JOHN HANNAH (Rebus, Cold Blood), HELEN BAXENDALE (Marple, Cold Feet), NATASHA LITTLE (Mistresses, This Life), EMMA FIELDING (Cranford) and AMARA KARAN (The Darjeeling Limited).
When a businesswoman (Emma Fielding) is kidnapped in South Africa, expert hostage negotiator Dominic King (Trevor Eve) believes he's dealing with a straightforward case – pay the money, get her back.
But when the release is botched and they strike again in Britain, the kidnapper, Willard's (John Hannah) motives become far more sinister. With trouble brewing at home with his wife Sophie (Natasha Little) and teenage daughter - and his team, boss Angela (Helen Baxendale) and ambitious assistant Carrie (Amara Karan) pushed to the limit, King must draw on all his reserves to bring the victims home alive.

A giant cruise ship with over 1,000 passengers and 500 crew, the Ocean Emerald is a floating luxury palace. But for 14-year-old Luke Barron the cruise is a nightmare from the moment the ship sails. Luke has unwittingly disturbed the plans of a highly organized criminal gang, and his efforts to stop them place him firmly in the firing line.
Remes won the 'Clue of the Year Award' from the Finnish Detective Novel Society in 1999 so perhaps one day his adult thrillers will also be available in English.
A free e-book of Robert Finn's Underlife is available in many formats at his Snowbooks page. Underlife is the third in the series to be written but is a prequel to Adept and Ex Machina and appears to be novella length.
Blurb from amazon.co.uk: Being a thief makes it difficult to meet the right girl. And when you do, something always gets in the way. Like finding yourself trapped underground, caught in a shoot-out, with the police after you and only a supernatural killer to protect you. And if you somehow survive all that, you've still got to persuade her to part with her phone number. "Underlife" is a fast, short, sweet, tense runaway train of a thriller.
Maxine Clarke reviews Hakan Nesser's Woman With Birthmark, tr. Laurie Thompson.
Faber has signed Scottish author Doug Johnstone's Smokeheads as part of a two-book deal that sees him leave former publisher Penguin. Smokeheads will be published in late spring 2011, with a second book to publish the following year.
Faber described Smokeheads as "'Sideways' meets 'Shallow Grave' with a hint of 'The Wicker Man'... a classic 'what if?' thriller", in which four old Edinburgh friends go on a distillery tour trip that goes "seriously awry".

Dominique Manotti's latest translation, Affairs of State, tells of foreign workers in a landscape where murder has a political meaning. Joan Smith's recent thriller, What Will Survive is political in a broader sense. Both writers see the world as something far removed from the cosy village life of traditional crime fiction, more in common with Nordic authors such as Stieg Larsson than Agatha Christie. The pair will discuss their influences, their aims, and why the crime novel is pre-eminently a political form.
Actor Stephen Tompkinson's boyhood dream of playing a detective like Columbo has come true.
The Ballykissangel star is slipping into a mac to play Chief Inspector Alan Banks in Aftermath - a TV adaptation of Peter Robinson's gritty novels. Stephen, 44, said: "There is probably room for a new detective on ITV now that Morse has gone and Frost is going. I've always wanted to play a detective. I adored Columbo so I will have to wear a mac in tribute to him."
The character is a divorced dad-of-two who investigates murders in a Yorkshire market town.
I'm currently reading Affairs of State by Dominique Manotti, tr. Amanda Hopkinson and Ros Schwartz, which came out last November.
The author of the award-winning Lorraine Connection returns with yet another riveting tale of intrigue and corruption. A call-girl whose black book lists her elite international clients is found murdered, a mysterious plane bound for Iran disappears over Turkey - and the president's closest advisor, Bonard, is manipulating the system with consummate ease. It's up to rookie advisor Noria Ghozali to untangle the threads which bind these events together - and to combat the racism which repeatedly stalls her efforts.
The fabulous French film Tell No One (Ne le dis à personne), based on the novel of the same name by Harlan Coben, will be on BBC4 on Saturday at 9pm.
Mystery thriller about a paediatrician who is shocked when the eight-year-old investigation into his wife's murder is reopened when two bodies are found near where she was killed. As he tries to come to terms with being a suspect again, he receives a startling email from a seemingly impossible source.
I must begin another letter to you, although it is not six hours since I sent my last. I have some news to communicate which I think will surprise you not a little.
Miss Dido Kent hesitated, her pen suspended over the page. All her education and almost thirty years' experience of writing letters had not quite prepared her for this situation. As well as she could recall, the rules of etiquette said nothing about the correct way in which to convey the news that she now had to impart. However, her governess had once told her that the very best style of writing was that which gave information simply and clearly without any excess of sensibility.
She dipped her pen into the ink and continued.
There has been a woman found dead here – in the shrubbery – this evening.
It was the under-gardener who found her.
Her sister would wish to be reassured that it was not a member of the family, or one of their guests, who had made the horrible discovery.

The Story of a Lit Review
By: E. Melanie DuPuis
One of the major struggles in undergraduate research involves mentoring a student through an adequate lit review. The student tends to see the task as reading a certain number of articles – the question for the mentor being, "How many articles is enough?" Of course, the answer is always, "enough to understand the previous research on your topic and to structure your own research." But students are often stuck on the question, "the previous research of what?" This becomes a chicken and egg exercise, where the student does not know what to read in order to come up with a research question, but cannot decide what to read without a research question. The literature to be read becomes boundless and therefore intimidating.
I want to tell a story about a lit review gone right. Not that there wasn't more than necessary chicken and egg involved. However, in the long run, I was able to mentor and scaffold the student's reading in order to move the student from previous research to a small but focused research question. This is the story of that lit review process.
The student in question was from Abu Dhabi, UAR. All through his research design class he struggled with the chicken and the egg. He had a general idea what he wanted to study: the rise of desalinization as the major way to bring water to his home country. He knew from his networks and connection in the UAR that it was proud of its "desal" plants and of the development this access to water enabled, particularly the building of the futuristic town of Dubai. He knew that the administration there bragged that their desal system was the most advanced in the world. In order to delve into his topic, I had encouraged him during winter break back home to talk to the people he knew who worked in the environmental agency, as a kind of feeling out of the issues.
But what was his question? Was he simply going to write a paper about how great desal was in Abu Dhabi? That certainly wasn't enough. He was resistant to making appointments with his potential interviewees and simply asking unstructured questions. Not only that, there happened to be very little previous research published on desal in that country. The perennial student question, "How do I do a lit review of previous research that doesn't exist?" taunted him even more than most students. And, "how do I do interviews with public officials if I don't know what I'm asking?" taunted him as well.
As a first step, I had him solve the no-previous-research problem by coming up with a proxy: a topic close to his topic where literature does exist. Having previously worked with students in California on desal research projects, I had him look at the literature on California.
So, the student began to read everything he could about desal in California. But he came back again confused. He had read a great deal, but didn't know how to organize all of his reading. And the question still eluded us. Why read about California, where the siting of desal plants is a major political issue, with a large resistance movement making sure very few plants were sited, when the area of interest – the UAR — was enthusiastic about desal with little public resistance? Anyone who has mentored a research project will be nodding their heads.
Eventually, we realized that the thing that made it hard to research Abu Dhabi desal policy was exactly the question itself: what was it about Abu Dhabi that made people enthusiastic and welcoming of desal? California became, in this research question, more than a proxy. Instead, the study became a comparison of the desal politics of Abu Dhabi and California.
As is not unusual in this case, in our conversations, I constantly expressed doubt about the amount of work he had actually done – enough reading – while he insisted that he had read a lot. But I really had no way, at this point, to judge whether he had done the work or was just characterizing "a lot" in a way that I would characterize as "not enough."
Interestingly, the answer here, after ordering him to go back to the library for a week or two, was not to whip him up into a reading furor but to help him structure his reading better. To do that required structuring the topic of his research more thoroughly. Once again, because the published research is on California, we had to start there: why are Californians so resistant to desal? Once I asked that question, the student could tell me exactly what he read, and we could start to put that reading in an outline. The conclusion of previous research on why there was resistance to desal in California, he could tell me with adequate cites, was: (1) expense and (2) environmental effects. Because the student could cite numerous articles that made these points convinced me that he was, in fact, doing the work but needed more structure to his efforts.
But then we were stuck again. Was the answer that Abu Dhabi simply had more money to invest in desal (not to mention more energy). Did they just not care about the environment, compared to California? The student, understandably, was resistant to that conclusion. Abu Dhabi wasn't evil, but it really wanted access to more water. The environmental staff in the monarchy knew about the deleterious effects of pouring salt into the Gulf and of the high energy demands desal plants required. That was why they were at the vanguard of investing in state-of-the-art desal plants: they wanted to minimize both of these problems as much as possible. There is a big commitment in the Gulf, my student argued, on designing desal plants that use renewable energy. There are concerns over whether the salt in the Gulf was affecting fishing communities. In other words, Abu Dhabi understood the problem but had to continue to build desal plants and provide more water. So, at this point, I could ask the student, "How do you know this?" sending the student not into the peer-reviewed literature but to the public discourse available in Abu Dhabi about desal and development. We then knew how to structure his reading of newpapers and other published conversations in Arabic to back up what he knew simply by growing up in the region.
At this point, we had a way to refine his research question: what was it about Abu Dhabi that made it continue to build desal plants despite the energy cost and the environmental effects? Once again, this was where the student's grounded knowledge of his country came into play: two things he knew was the extent of explosive population growth in the UAR due mostly to immigration and the fact that, up until recently, this incredibly expensive water was used without water charges. This was completely unlike California, where water charges had been in place for decades (and where population growth was significantly less, if not negative). He also knew that there was no popular resistance to desal in the UAR. Social movements against desal did not exist. It was a Monarchy in the true sense that Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan makes the decisions about the future of the country. These were grounded facts the student knew from his life but were, also, available in written form. In other words, the most expensive water in the world had been, for many years, free to all residents. And, the student could cite published writing – not research but public reports — to back these facts. Suddenly, the study was able to turn back to the original focus: Abu Dhabi. What was it about Abu Dhabi that made development so important, and how did the environmental staff in the Monarchy determine how much desal was enough – which underlay the question: how much development was enough?
Suddenly we not only had a lit review that brought us to an original research question, but we now knew what question the student should ask environmental staff: "How much desal was enough? How did the Monarchy decide the extent of energy cost and environmental impacts that were necessary for how much economic growth?" The Monarchy, the student knew, was building more plants. How did they decide how many plants to build?
Interestingly, this was when the extent of the reading the student had done on California desal politics became clear. He knew, and could cite, research on the resistance movements against desal in California. Californians were against desal for the same reason the UAR Monarchy was for it: development. California's anti-desal movement was really an anti-development movement – much of the peer reviewed literature researching desal in California concluded as much. The research question, which had been very focused up to this time, began to reflect bigger issues. Why was it so important to the UAR Monarchy to continue to grow its population and its economy, while California was so resistant to population growth? Why had it taken so much time to actually charge people for this expensive water? All of a sudden we had a much more complex picture of the politics of development in these two places.
Needless to say, as a senior thesis, I would not oblige an undergraduate to answer that last question. However, it is clear that this question falls into the important Last Slide in any student's research presentation: Future Research. Given the amount of reading the student had done – real work that was now obvious and which could be written about in a structured way – most of the paper would be about what he had read. However, the hope is that the student will be able to use his entrée to ask this very focused and interesting question, a question we suspect environmental staff in the Monarchy think about every day: "how much desal is enough?" If not, we are hoping that a focused look at the public discourse in the UAR on development will help answer that question. I'm hoping he will be able to do an interview or two over the winter break. But even a good look at the published public discourse about water and development in the UAR, in Arabic, the student's native language, comparing it to the public discourse in California, would be enough.

If you are in a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, there may be stipulations regarding your tax refund if you are receiving one. As tax time nears, it is good to know the ins and outs of legal requirements in all types of bankruptcy.
At this time of year chapter 7 trustees are paying close attention to whether a debtor is expecting a tax refund. A trustee will demand that tax refunds that exceed the debtor's exemption - or are not properly exempted - be turned-over and distributed to creditors.
In chapter 13 cases tax refunds are not turned-over to the trustee, but the IRS can still set-off any amount owed for delinquent taxes against the refund. When it comes to tax refunds and bankruptcy, my advice is to speak to a bankruptcy attorney and don't spend the money before it is in your hands.

Science Helps Reveal Which Carnival Games Are a Scam, and Which Ones You Can Actually Win
The prizes, the lights, the sounds, and a quick-talking barker make it hard to resist playing carnival games, but is every game a fool's bet? In his latest video, Mark Rober, an ex-NASA JPL engineer, breaks down the science of what makes some of these games so challenging, and others near impossible to win.
For instance, the regulation height of a basketball hoop is 10 feet off the ground, but Mark found the hoops at his local carnival were actually 11 feet tall, which would throw off even an NBA star. As for games that are almost impossible to win? Don't bother trying to shoot the star off a paper target with a BB gun. You'll have physics and the laws of the universe working against you ever winning that stuffed bear you're eyeing.

A Digital Marketing Trends in Nigeria 2019 thread is meant to look at things happening in digital marketing in Nigeria, which are likely to continue in 2019 and 2020.
At AdHang we see that more companies, event organizers and upcoming businesses in Nigeria are gradually embracing online advertising in Nigeria, which is good. The challenge we see and likely to continue in Nigeria 2019 is that while entities from developed countries are spending millions of dollars in online advertising, Nigerians appear to have mind-set of wanting it free, or relatively cheap(perhaps because virtually everything in the internet started as free, as a result they want it to continue being so).
The implication is that products, Apps, businesses and services from abroad will continue to dominate Nigeria's market 2019, not because they are better, but because they are aggressively and holistically marketed to Nigerian consumers. AdHang knows this in and out because we help many foreign entities do just this, through numerous online media services in Nigeria the agency offers.
AdHang team sees emphasizes by clients/prospects on social media marketing. However, with an aggressive clever marketing by social media's owners across the world, this trend of emphasizing on social media is likely to continue in 2019. Unfortunately, unless marketers know what they are doing (just like social media owners) they are going to lose money there and waste resources. Because social media alone doesn't represents effective digital marketing, in digital marketing, there are 6 components, which are search engine marketing, influencers marketing, social media marketing, content marketing, internet display advertising and mobile marketing. No one effectively serves all purposes, they have their strengths and weaknesses depending on the goals a company wants to achieve.
To make the matter worse, whenever most people hear social media, they think about it in terms of facebook, twitter, linkedin, maybe instagram. In social media, there are at least 7 categories, with many authority websites, they are Photo (pinterest, instagram, etc), Forum (Cokoye, Nairaland, etc,), Social networking (Facebook, Linkedin, etc), Wikis(Wikipedia, Wikia, etc), Newsaggregator(Reddit, Feedly, etc), File sharing(Slideshare, Issuu, etc), and Video(Youtube, Vimeo, etc). Each effectively serves digital marketing purpose.
Nigerian companies and international brands are beginning to recognize the fact that Nigeria as a country has strong digital marketing agencies, with AdHang leading the way. As a result unlike before where they hire foreign digital marketing agencies to help them in marketing in Nigeria, now use Nigerian digital marketing agencies.
With politics and elections in Nigeria 2019, Digital marketing 2019 in Nigeria is going to be an interesting and fun year AdHang team sees better years ahead and happy to operate in this field. | {

Students take sights aboard the schooner Virginia en route to Bermuda.
One way to make the process easier is to use one of the countless electronic calculators that reduces sight reduction to a few keystrokes and to focus our attention on taking and evaluating sights.
So, let's take advantage of these modern tools to minimize the time spent on sight reduction and instead focus on taking and evaluating sights. The key to mastering celestial navigation is perfecting our ability to take accurate sights with our sextant. This takes practice on a rolling boat. The more of these measurements we can take and evaluate, the better. If you'd rather stick with the old pencil and paper method, there is nothing wrong with that — just don't let it deter you from practicing and evaluating your sights!
To get a fix on our position, we need at least two intersecting lines of position (LOPs). Just doing the bare minimum — taking one sight each of two different bodies — leaves us exposed to a potentially large error in our fix because our sights may be far from perfect. To improve our fix, we could take additional sights of other bodies that would add LOPs to our plot. The more LOPs we have, the better we can box in our position, or so the argument goes. However, for us recreational practitioners, the accuracy of our individual sights often remains uncertain. Additional LOPs may actually increase ambiguity rather than confidence in our fix. Fixing our position inside (and in some cases outside) the cocked hat becomes guesswork, making it difficult to systematically identify and learn from our mistakes.
An alternative to adding more LOPs in order to increase confidence in our fix is to stick with only two LOPs but try to make these as accurate as possible. How do we do that? We know that our sights will not be perfect. They will include an unknown random error; some will be too high, others too low. For a single measurement it will be impossible to tell which and by how much. However, if we had a series of altitude measurements of the same body, we could obtain a better estimate of its true altitude (and therefore a high-quality LOP) by applying simple statistical methods. So let's stick with two bodies and use those precious minutes of twilight to take multiple sights of each.
When attempting star sights, some stars will be obstructed by sails or gear, others won't be bright, others won't yield a good crossing angle. In this case the best stars are Arcturus and Antares.
How do we combine these multiple measurements to obtain a good estimate of the true altitude of each body? Intuitively, we think of the average (arithmetic mean) as a way to cancel out errors in a series of measurements. It turns out that this is not the best method for sextant sights taken on a small boat though. Here, we're in the realm of what statisticians call "non-parametric estimation," and for this case, a much better and simpler estimator of the true altitude value is the median, the middle value out of a sorted series of measurements. The median is robust and well suited for situations where we cannot make assumptions about the statistical properties of our measurements — precisely what we need.
Step 1: Identify two bodies (stars, planets, moon) that will be visible at twilight, with their azimuth angles separated by 45 to 135 degrees (90° ± 45°). A difference in azimuths outside this range will lead to an LOP crossing angle that is either too acute or too obtuse and may amplify any error in the altitude measurement when later plotting the fix. For example, one June evening found us sailing our 35-foot sloop Namani between Fiji's Lau islands. Looking for suitable candidates among the 57 navigational stars, we selected bright stars that would be visible above the horizon. This left us with eight stars. Of these eight, only four were not obscured by sails or rigging and gear off the stern, and only Arcturus and Antares provided a robust crossing angle — another very good reason to focus on only two bodies.
Step 2: At twilight, take an odd number of sights for each of the two bodies in quick succession. Five sights each works well. We have found little improvement from taking seven or more sights.
Step 3: Use your preferred method for calculating the intercept for each sight (10 intercept values if you took five sights of each of the two bodies). An electronic sight reduction tool will help do this quickly and easily.
Then, for each body, sort the intercept values and take the sight with the median (middle) intercept value to plot the LOP. For example, if the sights of one of our two observed bodies yielded a sorted intercept series of 4.2 away, 3.9 away, 1.2 away, 0.3 toward and 2.8 toward, we would take the middle value of 1.2 away and its associated azimuth angle to plot the LOP for this body.
Step 4: Plot the two LOPs to determine the fix latitude and longitude. Some electronic calculators will do this automatically.
In Figure 1 we see a fix from the intersection of lines of position from sights of Venus and Arcturus.
Step 5: Evaluate your fix against your GPS position, looking for ways to improve your sights by reducing any systematic error in your measurements (more on that later).
In addition to providing robust estimates of the observed bodies' true altitudes and thus high-quality LOPs, this approach also allows us to collect a comprehensive set of sight data. We can later analyze this data to help us improve the quality of our sights.
Five sights each for two bodies may sound like a lot, but it is actually quite quick and easy. Since we stick with the same star or planet for each sight series, we don't have to reset the sextant and bring the body all the way down to the horizon every time. Nor do we have to change our orientation or our position on the boat, and the software eliminates the work of manually reducing the 10 sights.
For a complete example, let's go back to that June evening in Fiji: an overnight passage, the sun setting to the west and a mostly cloudless sky. With beam reaching on a course of 145 degrees at evening twilight, we were lucky to have Venus available for a sight. Figure 5 shows the five sights we took of Venus, sorted by intercept.
Our second sight landed on the median position with an intercept of 17.2 toward. Since we had a GPS position to later check our fix, we could also calculate the theoretically correct intercept of 16.8 toward. This made our median sight 0.4 too high but significantly better than the first, third and fourth sights. As it turned out, the fifth sight was even closer to the true value, although we would have had no way of knowing that without peeking at the GPS. Our objective here is not to identify the best sight in our series, which would be impossible without GPS, but to have a method that will reliably produce a good estimate of the true altitude value. Most importantly, it will eliminate outliers such as the first and third sights. Had we only taken one sight, our LOP would have been off by 1.8 nm (sight number 1) rather than 0.4 nm and, without knowledge of our GPS position, we would have had no way of judging the quality of that single sight.
The example above also demonstrates that the first and third sights skew the mean (average) intercept (as opposed to the median intercept) upward to 17.5 nm. Scenarios like this, where the outliers are distributed asymmetrically around the true value, are quite common with waves rolling the boat and obscuring the horizon. In these cases, taking the median sight will produce better results than using the mean of a series.
The complete fix from our example is shown in an accompanying diagram, with the second LOP derived from a five-sight series of Arcturus.
Figure 2 shows the relationship between the assumed position, the intercept and the LOP.
As recreational practitioners of celestial navigation, we could stop here and already have a robust and pragmatic method for producing reliable fixes. But while we're at it, we may as well push the idea a little further.
One thing to keep in mind when applying the above procedure is that our position changes over the course of the sights, effectively producing a running fix over a short distance. In most cases, we will not be concerned about the small error this introduces. For example, if our first and our last sight were taken 20 minutes apart at a boat speed of 6 knots, the resulting intercept error for a star that was observed 60 degrees forward or aft of the beam would be 1.7 nautical miles at most — unlikely to bother us on the open ocean. The error will be less for bodies that lie closer to the beam. Swifter work will reduce this error; 20 minutes is a generous allowance for completing the two sight series.
If we wanted to eliminate this error, we can borrow a page from aviators for whom this is a more substantial issue. Sight Reduction Tables for Air Navigation (No. 249 Volume 1) includes a handy table to correct a calculated intercept for "Motion of the Observer." The navigator enters the table with speed over ground (SOG) and the relative angle that a bearing line to the observed body forms with the ship's course over ground (COG). Given these two arguments, the table provides the correction to be applied to our calculated intercept per minute of elapsed time. At 50 to 900 knots, the SOG for which these corrections are tabulated is more representative of aircraft than of cruising sailboats. We can, however, simply divide the SOG values and the resulting corrections by 10 or 100 to match our earthbound realities (look for "Alternative Table 1" at the end of the publication).
A number of sight reduction software programs are available for free on the Internet.
Some electronic sight reduction calculators (such as the CelNav package detailed in the sidebar) will automatically correct for this error. We also find this correction convenient to advance or delay our celestial fixes to fall on the half-hour, making them easier to reconcile with the ship's dead reckoning plot.
Another aspect to keep in mind is systematic error. Possible causes for systematic error include a misaligned sextant, misjudging the horizon in a big swell or failing to swing the sextant correctly to measure the exact shortest distance between the observed body and the horizon. Picking the median intercept will help reduce random error in our sights but not a systematic error. While our method cannot compensate for such systematic errors, the data we collect in the process can help us identify and remedy them. Assuming we are practicing celestial navigation for our own enjoyment and still have access to GPS data, we can use our GPS position at the time of the fix as our assumed position (AP) for the sight reduction calculation (when using a celestial calculator). If our sights were perfect, our intercepts would come out at zero, resulting in an LOP that runs through our GPS position. We can then immediately tell from our intercept values whether our sight series appears to be shifted consistently above or below zero rather than being scattered around this central value. If we spot such a bias, we can track down the root cause and start to correct for it, successively perfecting our technique.
Early into a four-week passage between the Galapagos Islands and the Marquesas, one of us found his sights to be "high" by one to two arc minutes on average. After carefully checking the sextant and eliminating misalignment as a possible error source, the problem was eventually tracked down to gripping the sextant too tightly, resulting in a skewed swinging motion. This, in turn, led to systematically overstated altitude readings. Loosening the grip — after adding a wrist-loop to allay our fear of losing the precious piece overboard — showed an immediate and permanent improvement in sight accuracy. The ability to easily spot these biases is also the main reason why we use a sorted series of intercepts rather than simply picking the median among fully corrected sextant altitudes, which would save us eight subtractions in the process.
Another valuable exercise is to mark the best-perceived sight in each series and then check the actual accuracy based on the GPS position. It took us a while to figure out what makes a "good sight," but in the process we learned to judge the quality of our sights as we take them. This becomes particularly valuable when we have to make do with a single sight, snuck in between the clouds, without the luxury of a full five-sight series.
In Figure 3 we see a fix from crossing LOP 1, 2 and 3. LOP 4 is discarded.
To recap: We focus on the essence of celestial navigation by letting electronic tools automate the tedious sight reduction procedure. Then, instead of using LOPs from many different bodies, we take a short series of sights of only two bodies. Applying the median estimator to the resulting data improves our fix accuracy by reducing random error and the impact of outliers. It also provides valuable feedback for improving our technique by identifying and eliminating systematic errors.
With this approach, we recreational navigators get about 80 percent of our fixes within four nautical miles of our GPS position and 97 percent within 10 nautical miles. The method proves particularly useful in higher seas with a pronounced rolling of the boat. While the spread of the intercept values increases in higher seas, the median has remained surprisingly robust in our experience.
Perhaps the biggest benefit has been the confidence we developed in our sight-taking and our ability to judge the quality of our sights. As a result, a sometimes-frustrating "trial and error" experience has become a fun pastime in which we can actually see our progress.

As a life-long sailor he enjoys his time aboard Namani as an opportunity to practice his celestial navigation skills and to bring some scientific rigor to the old art.
Thanks very much for this very interesting and enjoyable article - I particularly liked the tip about not gripping the sextant too tightly!
If you haven't read it yet, you might perhaps enjoy my book Sextant, published by William Morrow in the US. It's a sort of celebration of the art of celestial navigation and it discusses the vital it role played in the exploration and mapping of the world by the likes of Cook, La Perouse and Flinders. | {

What actually is Critical Thinking Essay Writing! Do I need to criticize the topics or some one else work? No, what actually you need to do is understand, analyze and evaluate a subject or an issue. While writing a critical thinking essay there is a need of proper support of the evidence and facts to prove your point. It is related to reflective journal to some extent. What is more, there could also be a reflective journal for teachers.
Critical Thinking Essay Writing does not means to put down any other writers work but here the requirement is to explore your thinking and findings.
Be sure your discussion is well organized. It is importnat for critical essay writing, as well as waiver letter. Each section should support the main idea. Each section should logically follow and lead into the sections that come before it and after it. Within each paragraph, sentences should be logically connected to one another.
Be specific with the format of writing too. MLA format is mostly used for Critical Thinking Essay Writing.
Citation plays a very important role in Critical Thinking Essay Writing. | {

Build back bluer: Water innovation can drive inclusive economic recovery in the Great Lakes
This is a moment for the Chicago region to reach its potential as a water technology leader.
ALAINA HARKNESS
In the Great Lakes region, access to fresh water supply and wastewater treatment during the COVID-19 crisis has been one of our first lines of defense. Our water infrastructure and dedicated essential workforce helped protect public health and lessened the region's overall hardship by supporting basic needs like handwashing, providing clean drinking water while sheltering in place, and ensuring continued wastewater treatment that kept our waterways clean. From residences to businesses to hospitals, the pandemic has made it clear that we count on this robust, reliable, and often invisible water infrastructure to protect our health and power our economy.
Now the Great Lakes' water infrastructure can play another critical role in our region: recovery catalyst. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, the U.S. needs to spend more than $1 trillion on our water infrastructure over the next two decades to maintain reliability, improve quality, meet growing demand, and lift its failing grades. Almost a quarter of that spending is forecasted for the Midwest.
At the same time, a changing climate and a rising global population mean solutions to support clean water supply and treatment will be in high demand around the world. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform the plumbing of our economy and society, but a pure replacement play that swaps new pipes for old ones won't get us there. We need strategic investments in the complementary infrastructure of inclusive innovation that will allow new discoveries and inventions to seed and scale right here in Illinois and ensure that every resident has an equal shot at becoming a successful water worker.
At Current, a Chicago-based nonprofit water innovation hub, we see both the potential and the needs first-hand. Our region has many of the building blocks we need to build a powerful cluster of water technology innovation: world-class water utilities, renowned research institutions, innovative businesses and entrepreneurs. Some elements we have historically lacked—venture funding, visibility, a diverse workforce—are starting to change for the better, but there is much more work to do to. And it's urgent: not just for Illinois or the Great Lakes, but for the world. We know that the world's persistent water problems—from agriculture run-off to lead in drinking water—won't be solved by any one government, scientist or company alone. We need to act both collaboratively and expediently to make our blue economy as productive, innovative and inclusive as we can.
Today in Illinois, we have a chance to strengthen our inclusive water innovation infrastructure through concrete actions. We suggest the following as a great place to start.
Make space for entrepreneurial water innovators to root and scale here in Illinois. While a number of recent initiatives have created (or plan to create) space for water-focused innovators in the Chicago region to test and scale their products—from Argonne National Laboratories expanded Materials Engineering Research Facility to the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, to the Discovery Partners Institute's planned development at the 78—we still lose promising startups to other cities due to a lack of affordable and properly equipped wet lab space. A dedicated, centrally located facility would be a boon to the blue innovation economy.
Provide state matching support and incentives to support entrepreneurs. State matching funds to complement existing federal initiatives and incentives to spur cross-sector R&D collaboration would help local water technology entrepreneurs overcome the multiple "valleys of death" between concept and market. For example, the Illinois Science & Technology Coalition is advocating for Innovation Vouchers to help incentivize new industry-university partnerships. The competitive federal Small Business Innovation Research Program provides essential early-stage funding for hard tech startups, including companies like Cyclopure, which creates novel adsorbents to remove contaminants from drinking water. According to iBio, Illinois' biotechnology innovation organization, 14 other states provide match support to attract startups and federal dollars. Illinois should follow suit.
Create Blue Economy Innovation Leadership. An innovation leader within city and state economic development agencies could launch rapid initiatives like water-focused seed grants for businesses and coordinate longer-term investments across multiple environmental agencies, universities and industries. The "Path to Water Innovation" report by the Hamilton Project and Stanford Woods Institute for Environment offers a blueprint for a statewide water innovation office's key functions: coordinating and streamlining laws and regulatory frameworks to promote inclusive innovation; identifying and promoting best management practices; collecting and publishing relevant data; and encouraging cooperative funding and new tech development. Naming water innovation as a clear priority and opportunity for the city and state would be an important start.
This pandemic has delivered important reminders about the fundamental role water plays in sustaining our public health and our economy, even as it has increased the strain on our overburdened systems. With the federal infrastructure investments we need on the horizon today, it's time to make strategic investments in the infrastructure that will power inclusive innovation to solve the water challenges of tomorrow. Let's use this moment to reach for our potential and position our region—and Illinois—as North America's water technology leader. Together, we can help lead the nation and the world into a more prosperous, inclusive and sustainable future.

Home/Educational/Cannabis Breeding: How Are New Strains Created?
What's the point of breeding?
Many cannabis users are familiar with walking into a dispensary and being presented with a multitude of options: a myriad of strains, sativa, indica, hybrid, CBD. But how did we arrive at such a huge variety of cannabis strains? Once upon a time, marijuana grew in the wild with few variations. But modern breeding has spawned an enormous selection of cannabis strains, all with differing properties and effects.
Essentially, all of the cannabis strains we are presented with in dispensaries are the result of breeding. These are specialized programs where "parent" plants are chosen for their characteristics and then bred together, spawning a strain with the qualities of both parents. This opens up literally infinite possibilities, the most successful of which are usually the ones that end up on shelves.
Breeding plants is fundamental to cannabis innovation, allowing us to produce different strains for different reasons. In fact, breeding is fundamental to the cultivation of any plant. The cannabis legalization movement that has swept the USA has opened the doors to more breeding than ever, allowing even home growers to participate in the joy of plant breeding.
Anybody who has ever seriously grown anything in their life will understand that even a single packet of seeds can produce a variety of different plants. Although they are all the same species, they have different characteristics. Perhaps one seed grows up to be robust while another grows to be weak. Maybe one grows taller and the other grows bushier. Even though they came from the same packet, they have different characteristics.
Breeding is essentially the process of choosing the most desirable characteristics for whatever you are trying to grow, and trying to perpetuate those characteristics. Generally, breeding is done to create new strains of cannabis or to strengthen the characteristics of an already existing strain. It is a way of choosing what you want from your plants and breeding them until they produce seeds of the characteristics you adore.
Cannabis is one of a handful of plants on Earth that are dioecious, meaning that the female and male reproductive qualities are in individual plants. So in order for a seed of cannabis to be produced, it must be bred between a male cannabis plant and a female cannabis plant. This is contrary to monoecious plants, for example, in which both reproductive organs are present in a single plant.
So in order for a breeding program to be successful, a breeder must have a male plant and a female plant. These are chosen on the basis of their characteristics. For example, if a breeder has a female plant with a large yield and has a male plant that is robust and pest resistant, then the breeder may breed them together. This would produce a seed with both characteristics (hopefully).
A male plant will, within a few weeks of flowering, begin to produce pollen sacs. If left in the same breeding room as female plants, the pollen will travel to the female plants and pollinate them. This will result in all the female plants becoming "pregnant" with seeds. This seed is then the beginning of how new strain are created.
The breeding process doesn't end there. The seeds produced in the first round of breeding often produce very different phenotypes. For those who don't know, the phenotype is the physical characteristic a plant displays. Although all seeds may have the same genotype (the genetics present), they will express only a certain number of those genes. The genes that are physically expressed are called phenotypes.
For example, you and your siblings look different, despite the fact that you came from the same parents. Perhaps you have your mother's figure but your father's skin. And maybe your brother has your mother's hair and your father's eyes. This is an example of phenotypes.
Once seeds have been created, they are planted and observed. The ones with the best phenotypes are then selected (both male and female). The selected plants are technically the first desirable generation of a cross between two parents. In general, seeds turn out to be more like their mothers. With that being said, an experienced grower will immediately observe the differences in male plants. It is equally as important to select a strong male as it is to select a strong female. However, the general rule is that seeds will take more qualities from their mothers.
Typically, breeders are looking to create a set of seeds that are homozygous. This means the seeds contain almost the exact same genes and therefore, will all come out with almost the exact same phenotype. This is exactly what breeders like Sensi Seeds do to ensure that there is very few variation between seeds in the same packet. In order to achieve this, the breeding process must continue.
For true and advanced breeding to take place, it is not enough to stop at selecting a phenotype. To strengthen the characteristics of the chosen phenotype, a plant is either crossed with itself or with its original parent again. It is essentially inbreeding with the purpose of achieving homozygosity.
All of the strains you encounter in a dispensary have been bred multiple times using this exact process. Homozygosity ensures that strains grown exhibit the same characteristics and the same effects, meaning users can experience consistency when they purchase strains.
When you think about it, breeding is our way of mimicking the natural selection process of nature. We can do it somewhat faster, but the creation of that "holy grail" strain takes time and patience. Once you've arrived at your desired strain, it could take months, or even years of backcrossing to make those qualities consistent for future seeds.
In general, it doesn't even take that long to find a perfect strain. The longest part of the process is the stabilization of the strain that has been chosen, through many rounds of backcrossing. This is the artisan part of the process that is tedious but with tremendous results.
Thanks to legalization, just about anybody can breed cannabis in their homes. Even on a small scale, home growers can play with cannabis genetics, arriving at their very own, personalized strain. And in fact, most of the time, this is exactly how new strains of cannabis are created!
The most important qualities to bring to a breeding program are patience and attention to detail. None of the strains that arrive in top-shelf dispensaries got there overnight. They arrived after years of breeding and backcrossing, as well as strict attention to what's desirable in a cannabis plant. This might be a high yield, high THC content, being drought resistant or even able to grow in colder, harsher climates! The breeding process is something to be enjoyed and never rushed.
I am a naturopath, herbalist, and lover of all natural medicines. My life's work is dedicated to reconciling the scientific and mythological worlds - with botanicals as the doorway between the two. I am undergoing a Bachelor degree in Naturopathy, and have been a cannabis writer for over 4 years. The more I learn, read and write, the more I believe in the power of this magical herb.

Mayor Christian Provenzano is encouraging local businesses to help their employees gain new skills and training by taking advantage of the Canada-Ontario Job Grant. The program can assist with covering direct training costs for workers, up to a maximum of $10,000 per employee.
"Staff from Employment Solutions and the Sault Community Career Centre explained the Canada-Ontario Job Grant to me at a recent meeting and I have been enthusiastic about the program ever since," says Provenzano. "The grant offers local employers an excellent incentive to strengthen their workforces by supporting training and skills upgrading for employees."
The Job Grant provides support to employers who wish to purchase training for their employees. The grant can cover two-thirds of direct costs, up to the $10,000 limit for each employee. Employers are required to cover the remaining one-third of costs, though there is flexibility for small businesses to provide in-kind contributions towards their share of expenses. Training must be delivered by an eligible third party trainer, such as a college, university or product vendor.
Provenzano notes that a variety of Sault Ste. Marie businesses have already made applications to participate in the program. He is hopeful that more local employers - including small businesses - will follow suit.
Says Provenzano, "Investing in employee training is one way for local companies to boost their productivity and maintain a competitive edge. Businesses will also benefit by having employees who are flexible, adaptable and in touch with current trends."
To be eligible for the grant, employers must be licensed to operate a business and reside in Ontario. They must also be in compliance with all federal and provincial legislation and carry third party liability insurance. Broader Public Service organizations are not eligible to participate in the program. | {

The Culex mosquito (pictured) is one species of mosquito in Charlottesville that could potentially carry and transmit West Nile Virus.
As rainy summer weather occurs across the United States, students and faculty returning to Charlottesville from summer travels should keep the potential health risks associated with mosquitoes in mind. Rainwater collected in puddles and outdoor receptacles can provide water sources for mosquitos, which lay their eggs in stagnant water.
In addition to diseases such as Zika, one notable mosquito-borne illness is West Nile Virus. WNV is most commonly spread to people through the bite of a mosquito that feeds on WNV-infected birds.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cases of WNV peak during mosquito season — which lasts throughout the summer and fall. Mosquitoes across the state of New York have tested positive for WNV, and numerous states — including Virginia — have reported WNV infections in humans to the CDC this year.
No vaccines exist to prevent WNV and no medications exist to treat the virus in humans. Only one in five infected people show signs of illness and may develop symptoms ranging from a fever and body aches to inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.
David Gaines, a State Public Health entomologist at the Virginia Department of Health, said there are about 60 species of mosquitoes found in Virginia and about half those species reside in or around the Charlottesville area.
Culex pipiens, Aedes albopictus, Aedes triseriatus and Aedes vexans are four species found in Virginia that he said are of increased public health importance because they could potentially carry and transmit WNV.
He said that while he was involved in mosquito surveys in Charlottesville between the years 2002 through 2006, he is unsure of Charlottesville's WNV status this year.
He said that in Virginia, there is no state money currently allocated for mosquito control or surveillance and larger-scale mosquito control programs are only seen in the very wealthy counties that regularly see human cases of WNV — such as Fairfax or Prince William County — or in heavily-populated counties that experience outbreaks of floodwater mosquito species.
Prior to this year, he noted that only one case of WNV has been identified in the area of Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
That case was seen in a person who had travelled to another WNV endemic area in Texas beforehand. Gaines said that while transmission of WNV to people is possible in the Charlottesville area, he has no knowledge of it occurring yet. Instead, he said that WNV transmission is present is surrounding areas.
"The nearest place to Charlottesville where we have seen local WNV transmission to people has been in Greene County — somewhat close to where there is a sewage treatment plant — and in the agricultural sectors of the Shenandoah Valley where there is a lot of livestock production," Gaines said.
He said that all species of mosquitoes go through seven stages of life including an egg stage, four larval stages, a pupal stage and an adult stage. The immature larval and pupal stages of each mosquito species occupy specific aquatic habitats.
Culex pipiens larvae specifically occupy water with high organic content such as stagnant water in storm sewer pipes, unused sewage treatment plant tanks and water that contain some animal manure or dead leaves. He said that Aedes albopictus and Aedes triseriatus — commonly known as Asian tiger mosquitoes and Eastern treehole mosquitoes — are only found in unpolluted artificial or natural containers of water while inland floodwater mosquitoes are found mostly in rainwater puddles.
Dr. Anjali Silva, an Elson Student Health staff physician, recommended students practice habitat avoidance on the areas where mosquitoes live. She also recognized areas with standing or stagnant water — such as ones in backyards — as places to avoid and suggested emptying collections of water on properties that mosquitoes could inhabit.
She said that different types of mosquitoes cause different diseases and bite at different times of the day.
Aside from protective clothing such as long pants and long-sleeved tops, she also recommended that clothing and camping equipment be sprayed with an insecticide called permethrin that can last through several washings without losing effectiveness. Additionally, insect repellent can be used on exposed skin.
"The best products are extended-release liposomal formulations of DEET, which can last up to 12 hours, or picaridin, which doesn't damage plastics and delicate fabrics like DEET can," Silva said.
She suggested not using products that combine insect repellent properties with sun protection because they tend to not be effective for protection from either. Instead, she advised applying sunscreen first and then insect repellent over skin.
In the most recent Virginia Department of Health Arbovirus Case Report in 2015, Charlottesville and the surrounding Albemarle area had no confirmed or probable cases of WNV.
Fortunately, while this year's predominance of WNV transmission remains unknown in Charlottesville, the CDC states that only 1 out of 150 people who are infected develop a more serious WNV illness that can be fatal. | {

The Buena Vista Vinicultural Society, formed in 1863 by the winery's founder, Count Agoston Haraszthy, to further improve its winemaking prowess and expand its vineyards, has been restored as a collection of unique, small-production wines that honor the winery's pioneering spirit and contribution to California winemaking. The Vinicultural Society explores clonal selections, varietals and the incredible terroir of Sonoma County and beyond.
Our 2015 Count�s Selection Carignane opens with bright cherry aromatics exploding out of the glass. Juicy upon the palate, a touch of oak and hints of minerality balance the fresh flavors of blueberry and raspberry which lead to a long, lingering finish.
This Old Vine Carignane was harvested from head trained vines that were dry farmed in a canyon pocket southwest of Ukiah. The Caballo Blanco Vineyard is an 80 year old site known for producing distinct Carignane. | {

Spain's registered jobless total fell for the fourth straight month in July by 1.85 percent from June, the Labour Ministry said on Tuesday, as the busy tourist season provided a boost to employment.
Spanish unemployment has more than doubled in the last two years after the collapse of the construction industry on the back of a burst property bubble and sinking consumer confidence left Spaniards cutting back on visits to shops and restaurants.
Spanish registered jobless fell by 20,794 workers in July from June though was up 10.3 percent from the same month last year, the government data showed. The number of jobless in July stood at 3.91 million, down from 3.98 million in June.
"Over the last three months joblessness has fallen by over 35,000, which is a good trend. But a jobless rate of nearly 4 million will continue to weigh on growth performance for a significant amount of time," said Silvio Peruzzo, economist at RBS.
The data showed the biggest July fall in numbers out of work since 1998, suggesting prospects were improving from a low base.
However, Peruzzo said the summer seasonal boost may not last. "We have to be cautious given the data are not seasonally adjusted" he said.
Unemployment fell in all Spain's major economic sectors, down 2.6 percent in industry, 2.2 percent in construction and 1.9 percent in services, which accounted for the largest part of July's fall.
The monthly data does not offer an overall unemployment rate and only reports the number of workers registered with the government as out of work.
The unemployment rate reported by the National Statistics Institute, a more accurate measurement of the nation's unemployed, stood at 20.09 percent in the second quarter.

The McNeil Center is the focal point for an extraordinary community of interdisciplinary scholars at all levels in the profession. The bulk of the Center's resources are devoted to support for graduate students and others early in their careers, but through its conferences and publications, it seeks to enrich the entire field. The Center is fortunate to rest on a solid core of financial support from the late Robert L. McNeil, Jr., the Barra Foundation, the University of Pennsylvania, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and many other generous institutions—not least the members of the McNeil Center Consortium. But the annual support of individual donors is also absolutely vital to the Center's programs, and many members of our community find membership in the Friends of the MCEAS to be an excellent way expressing their commitment to the Center and its mission. Friends contributions are particularly crucial in bridging the budgetary gap for conferences and publications, and they are the sole source of support for Friends of the MCEAS Dissertation Fellowships, awarded for projects dealing with Philadelphia and the Mid-Atlantic region.

Antioxidant intakes in pregnancy might influence fetal immune system development and the chance of hypersensitive disease. meals allergy. Higher eating copper consumption was connected with reduced threat of dermatitis, wheeze and any allergic disease. The partnership with wheeze and any hypersensitive disease continued to be significant in multivariate evaluation statistically, and there is an inverse linear relationship between copper and food allergy also. However, these romantic relationships had been only noticed for nutrients within meals. There have been no romantic relationships between -carotene, supplement zinc or E and any allergic final results. In conclusion, this research shows that maternal diet plan of clean foods abundant with supplement C is connected with reduced threat of baby wheeze, which copper intake is normally associated with decreased risk of many allergic outcomes. towards the involvement) on baby scientific outcomes after changing for potential confounding elements including the involvement. Quickly, the postnatal randomised trial included allocation to either 650 mg of seafood oil (filled with 280 mg docosahexaenoic acidity and 110 mg eicosapentaenoic acidity) or placebo (essential olive oil) for the very first half a year of life. Females had been ineligible if indeed they had been smokers, acquired pre-existing medical 857876-30-3 ailments apart from allergy, being pregnant complications, shipped pre-term (gestation <36 weeks), ate >3 foods of fish weekly or used seafood essential oil supplementation >1000 mg/time during being pregnant. The analysis was accepted by the Princess Margaret Medical center Analysis Ethics Committee as well as the individuals provided written up to date consent. The scholarly study was registered on the Australian New Zealand Trials Registry; ACTRN12606000281594. Data from a semi-quantitative meals regularity questionnaire (SQFFQ) finished on the last trimester of being pregnant (after 28 weeks gestation) and baby scientific outcome methods at a year had been obtainable in 144 and 156 mother-infant pairs in the fish essential oil and placebo groupings, respectively (> 0.05). Hence, 300 mother-infant pairs were designed for the goal of this scholarly study. As discussed somewhere else, baby fish essential oil supplementation 857876-30-3 acquired no influence on the scientific outcome TET2 methods, neither in the complete research people nor within the 300 mother-infant pairs designed for the goal of this research. 2.2. Demographic Features and Dietary Evaluation Parental demographic details and health background information had been gathered by an interview along with a questionnaire on the recruitment go to. Data on baby health insurance and features background were collected from detailed queries over the 12 month questionnaire . The semi-quantitative meals regularity questionnaire (SQFFQ) was implemented to all or 857876-30-3 any pregnant mothers on the recruitment go to. The SQFFQ originated and analysed with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Analysis Company (CSIRO), Adelaide, Australia. It offers home elevators the reported regularity of 212 specific foods, blended beverages and foods on the preceding month. Reported supplement and mineral dietary supplement intakes (brand, dosage and regularity) was changed into daily -carotene, supplement C, E, copper and zinc intakes, using medication dosage information provided on the product packaging. 2.3. Maternal Allergy Classifications Maternal allergy was thought as a brief history of doctor diagnosed allergy (including asthma, allergic rhinitis, dermatitis, meals or various other allergy) . Maternal atopy was thought as a confident skin prick check (SPT) performed on the recruitment stop by at one or more allergen (pup, kitty, rye, feathers, home dirt mite, southern grasses, cockroach or mold; Hollister-Stier Laboratories, Spokane, WA, USA). A wheal size of 3 mm was regarded positive. 2.4. Baby Allergic Final results 857876-30-3 at a year old The main scientific outcome measures had been the prevalence of dermatitis, IgE-mediated meals allergy, and allergic sensitisation. Newborns had been examined at a year old medically, which included an in depth examination and history. A medical diagnosis of dermatitis was manufactured in newborns with typical skin damage responsive to topical ointment steroids. The severe nature of dermatitis was determined utilizing the intensity rating of atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) index as previously defined . IgE-mediated meals allergy was thought as a brief history of instant (within 60 min) symptoms after connection with and/or ingestion and a confident SPT towards the offending meals. Symptoms of severe meals allergy included epidermis reactions (hives, rash or bloating). | {

Movies Sci Fi
Double Trouble at the 'Gemini Man' Press Conference!
By Mike Manalo October 7, 2019 October 7, 2019
Ang Lee. Will Smith. Jerry Bruckheimer. Titans in this industry, who we never thought would ever come together, are finally joining forces to do the one thing Hollywood is not prepared for: Cloning Will Smith. Mind blown, right?
In the new blockbuster, Gemini Man, Smith plays Henry Brogan, an aging assassin — the best in the business — on the verge of retirement. However just before the beat-down covert killer can utter the phrase, "Riggs, I'm too old for this sh–" he's confronted by his younger, better, sexier self, who has been cloned and sent to kill him. Now, on the run with the only two people he can count on, Henry is on a mission to confront the masterminds responsible for cloning him, as well as the clone who represents the better days that have passed him.
The film has been in development since the late '90s, and stalled for some time, because Bruckheimer needed the technology to catch up to the premise. And luckily, he found the one man who could do justice to the story: two-time Academy Award winner, Ang Lee. Last week, Paramount invited members of the press to sit down with Lee, Smith, Bruckheimer, co-star, Clive Owen, and the master VFX crew from Weta Digital, VFX supervisor Guy Williams, and VFX supervisor Bill Westenhofer, to talk about the movie, and the challenges of finally bringing Gemini Man to life.
As the crowd settled, each individual member of the conference was called out to the most energetic set of unseen "WOO's" from behind a curtain. Turns out the maestro orchestrating the energy, and setting the tone for the fun, hilarious conference, was the Gemini Man himself, Smith, hollering after every single name was called to the stage to wake up the crowd, and inject a surge of comedic energy into the proceedings. As the cast finally got settled, the event began and the first question was directed towards producer, Bruckheimer: What was it that made him fall in love with the story and how did it evolve since the first time it was brought to him?
"Well it's been at least 10 years that we've been working on this," he began. "And the issue was the technology hadn't caught up with the creativity of the writers. So we had to wait for [The Weta Digital Team] and Ang Lee to figure out how to get this movie made. We did some unsuccessful version of this in testing, and it looked pretty awful. So we kind of put it on the shelf until Ang said, 'I have a whole new way of doing this… and I'm going to create something really special.' And he certainly did."
Lee was then asked what made him the perfect guy to direct this movie. He responded by saying:
"Of course I'm the guy!" he joked. "Each time I make a movie I have that feeling, like I am the guy. There's nobody else. This is my movie! You make that visceral connection… Actually the first person who talked to me was David Ellison, in his office at Skydance. As soon as I hear 'clone' and 'younger version,' I felt I was old enough to deal with this stuff… all the philosophical stuff hit me first. Then [after] what kind of fun we're going to have. And I know we're getting into a digital world and how we create it. I experienced Hulk 20 years ago, and not too long ago, I experienced the tiger in Life of Pi, so in my head I know it's within reach. But I know with human faces, you're playing with fire… it's pretty scary, but at the same time it's pretty exciting. So I signed on."
Following Lee's response, Smith was asked what it was that made him go, "I'm in!" to the project.
Smith begain saying, "You know I just loved the philosophical idea that we all plant the seeds of our own destruction. We are our own worst enemies. We make choices and we make decisions in our lives that set things in motion that we can't blame other people for. And the battle of trying to overcome our karma. And I just thought it was a really clever and creative way to say that we are the architects of our ultimate rise or fall. And it's a big part of why I love science fiction, because you can put those things under really wild visual landscapes."
Next, Owen, an action and sci-fi veteran in his own right, given the masterpiece, Children of Men, and the cult classic, Shoot 'Em Up on his resume, was asked what it was about Gemini Man that was much more challenging than his other projects.
"I think it's like a brilliant coming together of something that's full of action, it's a great premise, it's a huge movie, but it's also about characters and drama. And it's very intimate and personal. And I think Mr. Ang Lee is the ultimate director for a movie like this, because he's on top of the technology, he's on top of what huge drama is, but he's also incredibly artistic, and specific, and detailed. So I was just hugely excited when I got the script."
Given the challenges of the technology were initially what shelved the movie, the Weta team of Williams and Westenhofer were asked about when they realized that they finally cracked it, and what the "Ah-Ha" moment was for them.
Westinhofer responded saying that the first time Lee approached them, "We did look at what had been done in the past, and where the technology was. There had been pretty close attempts in Rogue One and Blade Runner a year before. And we thought that things had matured, and it was very similar to what we did in Life of Pi. And he asked, 'can we do for a human what we did for the tiger?' So we looked and said that technology's close enough that if we put the same determination into it, we thought we'd feel confident we could do that… There was some fear involved, but we felt confident the technology was close enough, that with raw determination and the incredible skill and talent of the people at Weta that we can do this."
Williams added, "We'd been toying around with digital humans a lot with stuntwork. But to really break this barrier we needed a project that supported it. The commitment not just to have something like a guy falling off a building, but to truly have a digital human stand in front of a camera acting and resonating with the audience, and delivering the lines and serving the story. And this film was the perfect opportunity to actually bring it all together."
Smith also chimed in to add to this by saying, "I've been doing a lot of interviews, and I don't think people really understand the depth of what you guys have attempted and accomplished here. Junior (Smith's clone in the movie) is not de-aging. So it's not my face, and then they smooth out my face to make it look younger. It's a 100% digital human in the same way that the tiger in Life of Pi… is a 100% digital recreation of a tiger. This is not me de-aged. It's a 100% digital interpretation of me. It's a digital character. It's the first digital human. So it's actually a spectacular thing to be able to make people feel emotion in that way, capturing the youthful eyes… You can't fake innocence… As a young actor it's easier to play older. But older, it's impossible to play younger. Once you know some stuff it's in your eyes. It's in your cells once you know some stuff… So their job in creating of a digital human was to be able to sell that innocence and that youth, and to be able to sell a digital human in that way, and I think you guys did spectacular work."
"I want to say that Will's being very humble in this one aspect. Despite all that there's no magic button that we can press to make him look young," stated Westinhofer. "He had to ingest that and be himself at 23. We could put the look, and make sure he looked like his 23 year old self, but the performance and the innocence had to come from him, so that was well done."
A question came up for Bruckheimer regarding the how rewarding it was to nurture a film that was not based on an existing IP.
"It's always great when you find a piece of material you're in love with, and you can bring it to an audience, and hopefully they'll enjoy it the way you enjoyed it when you read it. And you have to understand that when they talk about digital Will, it's his performance. So it's 100% Will's performance, on a digital full body. It's not just that they replaced they head. It's everything… So he played two characters in this movie. First he did the Henry part of it. Then he turned around and did the Junior part of it. So it was grueling for him to have to play two parts every single time those two characters were on screen together. So you have to understand the accomplishment that not only Weta did and Ang did, but his performance is outstanding for two parts. It's so difficult."
Smith was asked about how he separated his performance as Henry from his performance as Junior.
"What was really great that Ang did, was before we even met, he went through my filmography. And he grabbed things from Fresh Prince, Six Degrees of Separation, Bad Boys, Independence Day, and Men in Black. And he grabbed the scenes and was walking me through moments. He would say, 'I love very much what you do in this moment in Six Degrees. In Bad Boys, this moment was good, but don't ever do this in my movie,'" Smith joked. "So we sort of created a language of the old characters and the moments he was trying to capture. It's funny, there's a thing before you learn how to act — a powerful thing you have from not knowing. And it's really difficult to recapture the 'not knowing.' And we found these really honest moments in some of my early work. So of all the things, that was the most difficult part. It was almost like going back to bad acting. Because there's an honesty to it… Letting go of all of that stuff was really difficult."
Later in the conference, Lee was also asked about the process of working with High Frame Rate Digital 3D for Gemini Man.
"To me it's really the sharpness. I think when you're doing 3D you allow people to be more immersive, to mimic how you experience things in real life… To invite them into that world, it's not just clear [shots], it's sharpness. The way you process the images through two eyes at an angle, it's different than when you watch movies… This is something new. We want to experience the movie [more than] just watching it… Your mind needs to be sharper. It needs to be sharper in perception. Details have to be more accurate than when you begin with… When you visualize it, when you play it out, it takes a lot more details and sharpness, even processing in our heads, to believe it's real life. So the frame rate needs to be raised. At least the basic is to be strobe free. Because in real life there's no strobe. If your eyes want to believe that's real, you have to get rid of the other obstacles to allow them to get into that world… It's a new medium. Technology-related. But really a medium. And we're trying to find a relationship with that medium."
Smith was asked what was going through his head the first time he saw Junior on screen.
"It was really crazy the first time I saw it… It was chilling almost… The first time I saw it was one of my favorite shots in the whole movie, was when Henry flips Junior over in the catacombs and puts the light up to Junior's face… And it was a little surreal and a little bit weird. And then I started getting excited about the possibilities. The "Young Will Smith/Young Marlon Brando" movie that can be made… it's a full 23-year old digital version of myself. And my mind just went wild about what you'd be able to do. Even the action sequences. How the action sequences were done is — normally you'd do an action sequence, and you can't actually punch someone in the face, so you take the shot, and the actor goes [mimics an actor pretending to receive a blow] and you keep going. Now what we were able to do with the technology was you'd do the scene, you'd do the swing, and they'd take the fist and they'd put it on the face of the digital character… So when you're seeing those shots now, where we're used to seeing misses with sound and blur, you're seeing full shots in the same way we're seeing MMA. So it was a great new way to do the action… So in terms of action I'm really excited about the use of this technology in the future."
I think we can all agree that we are eager to see how Will and his digital doppelganger will impact the state of cinema going forward!

40 of the Most Obscure Rules Olympians Must Follow
For starters: Gymnasts can't wear nail polish.
By Charlotte Chilton and Shea Simmons
Cameron SpencerGetty Images
Every two years, the world's greatest athletes gather for a chance at glory. The summer and winter Olympic games feature some of the most unifying, heartwarming moments in sport. But it's not all fun and games (no pun intended). When it comes to conduct on and off the field, there are Olympic rules athletes have to follow, and some are next level obscure.
Scott HeaveyGetty Images
Boxers must be clean shaven.
Competitors in the boxing competition must be clean shaven or have limited facial hair. That pencil mustache is a-go.
Adam PrettyGetty Images
Track and field athletes don't have to wear shoes.
While shoes are almost always wore by athletes competing in track and field events, they're not required. But there are rules about the shoes.
Ezra ShawGetty Images
Gymnasts can't wear colorful nail polish.
While gymnasts can wear colorful makeup, bright nail polish is a no-go. It's either neutral or none at all for these athletes.
BettmannGetty Images
Olympic athletes are not allowed any form of protest while competing.
Athletes are not allowed to express any form of protest on the field of play, in the Village, during ceremonies, or at the opening and closing ceremonies. The rule was put into place prior to the 2020 competition and has faced significant pushback.
Bruce BennettGetty Images
Athletes can have endorsements. They just can't talk about them.
When it comes to endorsements, athletes can have them and get paid for them. However, during the games, the athlete can't mention them, and the company can't promote the athlete either.
ARIS MESSINISGetty Images
Pants are a must for men's skating.
While you may think male figure skaters could wear tight a la dancers, that's not the case. Trousers are a dress code requirement.
MLADEN ANTONOVGetty Images
Women's figure skating competitors must wear skirts.
While men have to wear pants, ladies aren't allowed. Even if they're simple and sheer, a skirt is required.
MARK RALSTONGetty Images
Some athletes can't drink.
Per the International Olympic Committee, drinking is allowed. Athletes can even bring in their own alcohol to the Village. However, some athletes have no drinking rules imposed by their country. For the USA's athletes there's no booze in the Village but outside, it's fair game.
MARTIN BUREAUGetty Images
Athletes can't post photos of the field or backstage to social media.
While athletes can use and post to social media during the games, there are restrictions. Images and video showing the field of play or backstage areas like athlete and coach only ares are off limits.
Phil WalterGetty Images
BMX riders must tuck in their shirts.
BMX athletes are required to tuck in their shirts — even if it is to matching pants.

No backflips allowed in figure skating.
While cool, back flips aren't allowed in figure skating because of the two-foot landing that discounts it as a "jump." That didn't stop 1998 competitor Surya Bonaly from nailing one for fans, though.

Those who swing second in hockey fights get less penalty time.
While fights are rare in Olympic hockey, athletes don't want to start one, but they may want to finish it. While instigators get five minutes in the penalty box, those who drop the gloves second only get two.

Basketball players can dunk but can't hang on to the hoop.
Dunking is allowed in Olympic basketball. However, players aren't allowed to hang onto the hoop after doing so.

Swimming world records must be faxed in by athletes.
If a swimmer sets a world record, it's not automatically recorded. Athletes have to fax in their record. Yes, fax.

Fencers can't leave the field of play or they forfeit.
This may not seem odd, but it is. If a challenge or appeal is wanted during a match, the athlete cannot leave the piste or field or play. In 2012 South Korea challenged a call, and fencer Shin A-lam was forced to stay on the piste for nearly an hour before a decision was made.

Wrestlers must carry a handkerchief.
Olympic wrestlers have to cary a hanky somewhere in their uniform called a "bloodrag." Yes, it is used to clean up any bleeding from competition.
Olympic swimmers can grease themselves — but not too much.
To avoid chafing, swimmers can grease their elbows and inner thighs, but they can't use too much.

Water polo players have their toenails checked before competition.
Water polo athletes have to clip their toenails in order to avoid some nasty scratches under water.

No smoking in the Olympic Village.
There's no smoking throughout most of the Olympic Village, but there are designated areas for those who choose to do so.
Only one piece of handheld food can be taken from the Olympic Village food court.
An apple? Yes. An apple and a to-go tray? Not so much. Only one hand-held item or one beverage can be removed from the Olympic Village food court.

Beach volleyball bikinis must be a certain size.
While there are no options beyond the bikini, if beach volleyball players choose to wear one, the sides of the bottom can't be any wider than 7 centimeters.

No scoop or v-neck leotards for gymnasts.
Gymnasts' uniforms are strictly regulated, and scoop or v-necks that extend beyond the mid-sternum aren't allowed.
No groin grabbing allowed.
Water polo is a tough sport, but there's no excessive force — and that includes groin grabbing.
Lost props stay lost in rhythmic gymnastics.
Throw that hoop or ribbon too high in rhythmic gymnastics, and that's too bad. Props can't be retrieved during a routine, and athletes must keep going without them — even if their hoop is in a rafter.

A coin toss determines the color of beach volleyball uniforms.
If teams show up in the same color, a coin toss gets to decide who has to change.

Olympic gymnasts have to pay for a scoring challenge.
If a team believes a score is unfair, gymnasts have to pay $300 to have it re-evaluated. If the challenge overturns scoring, the team gets their money back. If it's not, the cash goes to charity.

Cyclists' socks can only go to mid-calf.
When it comes to Olympic cycling, there's also a strange uniform rule. Socks can't be higher than mid-calf, and they are measured.
Sean GarnsworthyGetty Images
No hand-holding finishes.
Olympic runners who choose to hold hands at the finish line are disqualified due to a rule that says you can't have a contrived tie.
No excess nudity for figure skaters.
Figure skaters don't have a set uniform, but there are major rules. One of them is that there can be no excessive nudity. That's exactly why you see so flesh-toned panels — to give the illusion of skin without breaking rules.

Golfers must sign their score cards.
If an Olympic golfer doesn't sign their score card, they are disqualified even if they won.

ʿEZRĀ-NĀMA
ʿEZRĀ-NĀMA, paraphrased versification of the Book of ʿEzrā (q.v.) containing midrashic and Iranian legends. It was composed by Šāhīn (q.v.), the leading Judeo-Persian poet of the 14th century. ʿEzrā-nāma, which includes about 500 distichs, is generally found at the end of Šāhīn's Ardašīr-nāma (q.v.) and is composed in the same meter; the date of its composition was thus probably the same as that of the latter work, Šawwāl 773/April-May 1372.
The main part of ʿEzrā-nāma deals with the story of the Cyrus the Great, who was called "God's messiah" (cf. Isaiah 45:1). According to ʿEzrā-nāma, Cyrus was born of Esther and Ahasuerus (q.v.), king of Persia, a legend most probably created to answer two important questions that were debated and elaborated in the Talmud and the midrashim: why a gentile was elected "God's messiah" and why the miraculous delivery of the Jews from Babylonian exile was at Cyrus' hand. In the second targum of the Book of Esther (q.v.), Cyrus is said to be seated on the throne of the King Solomon, an honor that had not been granted to the kings of Israel (cf. Megillah 12a; Rosh ha-Shanah 3b; Song of Songs Rabbah v, 5; Ecclesiastes Rabbah x, 12). The arguments and reservations expressed in the Jewish sources are not echoed in ʿEzrā-nāma, however; Šāhīn indicated no doubt that Cyrus was Esther's son and thus, according to Jewish law, a Jew. This legendary descent also was also mentioned by Ṭabarī (I, pp. 654, 688, 691, 718). In ʿEzrā-nāma Cyrus' birth is depicted as the gift of God, Who bestowed all beauty and goodness on the child; he is presented as a godly figure of no less stature than the prophets and kings of Israel. His justice, truthfulness, and heroism are unparalleled among the kings of the world.
After retelling the story of the destruction of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar, Šāhīn narrated the struggle undertaken by ʿEzrā and other Jewish leaders of the Diaspora to prevent the extinction of the community. ʿEzrā urges them to meet Cyrus, open to him the secret of their peoplehood, and ask him to liberate them from the torture of exile and return them to their Holy Land. The drama of the liberation of the Jews and restoration of their national existence is superbly depicted in ʿEzrā-nāma. Cyrus dies a hero, a king who has ruled according to the will of God. A long eulogy brings to an end this part of ʿEzrā-nāma. Šāhīn concludes his composition by describing the death of Esther and Mordechai (q.v.), her adoptive father, and their burial in the city of Hamadān.

jaya dass: is employer branding the new key driver for retention?
By Jaya Dass, Country Director, Randstad Singapore
A meaningful connection to something bigger than oneself is a core reason why people are attracted and committed to a cause or organisation.
The best companies succeed for that exact same reason.
employer branding and employee retention
Beyond business performance, these companies also exist for a larger purpose and connection to society. The company, and what it stands for, makes the employer brand and continues to spurt a life of its own beyond the confines of the office. If positioned correctly, the brand becomes the main reason why employees are attracted to a company and, more importantly, remain loyal.
That's been my experience with my employer. I have stayed even after my managers, roles and even a global CEO have changed over eight years. Why? Because the Randstad brand means something to me and is the primary reason why competitors fail to poach me.
The grass is often pitched as greener on the other side - bigger salary, bigger portfolio, better benefits, and the list goes on. Is it real and tangible? Quite possibly. I am not alone in my loyalty to my organisation - my colleagues would attest to that.
People stay because there is a connection to something intangible. Ask any Apple die-hard fan - they will tell you they will stick to the brand even if there is a better competitor product.
What about the Apple employee? Would they work for a competitor with whom they have no connection to? Often not. That's why when you work on your company brand, your employer branding takes shape naturally. Candidates join you because work with you has a broader meaning, a bigger purpose to turn up every day and perform at their best.
If an organisation's purpose is clearly defined and its value showcased to its end users, then the company brand develops a employee value proposition naturally. Over time, this trumps all hygiene factors.
So how can companies make employees stay? Remind them what the company stands for and how it makes a difference to society. That is the brand your employees are attracted to.

Support for Iger Is Growing
By Richard Verrier
Times Staff Writer
Thanks to good timing and intensive networking, Walt Disney Co. President Robert Iger's bid to win the company's No. 1 job is gaining momentum on Wall Street, with some investors and analysts now calling his elevation all but inevitable.
In recent months, Iger has broadened his base beyond longtime supporters in the investment community to those who'd once dismissed him as damaged goods, tarnished by the controversy surrounding his boss, Disney Chief Executive Michael Eisner.
"A year ago, people referred to him as an afterthought, an also-ran. Now you just don't hear the same objections from investors," said Patrick McGurn, senior vice president of Institutional Shareholder Services, which advised clients last year to withhold support for Eisner's reelection to the board. "He seems to be carrying the mantle of front-runner."
Investors and analysts say Iger -- the sole in-house candidate and now Eisner's choice -- is mostly benefiting from Disney's improved financial performance.
The company's net income rose 85% last year -- albeit from a low base. Those gains have been powered by the ESPN sports cable network and a recovery in theme parks. Disney's stock price, which had taken a drubbing, has risen 18% during the last six months. Meanwhile, the company's long-suffering ABC television network, which Iger oversees, has rebounded this season with two breakthrough hits: "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost."
With Disney predicting another strong year for 2005, investors generally don't foresee a management rout.
"They've got a cyclical rebound at hand, things seem to be going well, so why rock the boat?" said Peter Goldman, portfolio manager of Chicago Asset Management, which owns 481,000 shares of Disney.
For now, according to Disney sources, that also seems to be the thinking of a majority of Disney's board members. But the selection process is in its early stages and much can happen between now and June, by which time directors have said they'll name a successor to Eisner, whose contract expires in 2006.
In fact, some investors remain ambivalent about Iger. "He's spent so long under Eisner that it's hard to know how strong a leader he would be on his own," said Janna Sampson, portfolio manager of OakBrook Investments, which owns 789,000 Disney shares.
Then there's Roy E. Disney, nephew of the company's namesake, who led the shareholder revolt last year that led to the 45% no-confidence vote in Eisner and his subsequent removal as chairman. In a recent open letter to shareholders on his SaveDisney.com website, Roy Disney bluntly said "Iger is NOT an acceptable substitute" for Eisner. He did not say how he'd respond should the unacceptable occur.
Iger, 53, whose contract expires in September, also faces potentially formidable competition. The board is expected to review a list that includes News Corp. Chief Operating Officer Peter Chernin, Yahoo Inc. Chief Executive Terry Semel, Time Warner Inc. entertainment and networks chief Jeffrey Bewkes, as well as EBay Inc. CEO Meg Whitman and Viacom Inc.'s co-presidents, Les Moonves and Tom Freston.
But many in that lineup of media heavyweights are unlikely to join the fight because of contractual or financial incentives to stay put. Even if they did, Iger probably would be able to count on the support of some investors who themselves carry a powerful punch.
"I think he'd be an excellent choice," said Paul Eckley, senior vice president of investments for State Farm Insurance Cos., one of Disney's biggest institutional investors with 42 million shares. "He knows the company in all its facets, he's done some very positive things."
Said portfolio manager Eli Salzman of Lord Abbett & Co., which holds 37 million shares: "Wall Street's view of Bob has definitely gotten better."
Still, Iger is taking nothing for granted.
In the last three months, he has met with 15 of Disney's largest 20 shareholders to explain the company's growth prospects and tout his own strategy for the future, including a stronger push into foreign markets such as India and China.
"He's been working hard to build relationships and get people comfortable that he knows what he's talking about," said one money manager. "It's working to some extent."
One of his appearances came during a media conference last week in Phoenix, sponsored by investment house Smith Barney. Iger was questioned by analyst Jill Krutick, who characterized his performance in a later report as "uplifting."
She also offered a prediction.
"We believe that Bob Iger is the most likely successor to Michael Eisner," wrote Krutick, who has a "buy" rating on Disney's stock.
She added that Iger's "breadth of knowledge" of the company "should ensure a smooth transition."

Youth being served in Titans' linebacking corps
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Look around the Tennessee roster, and the Titans' youth movement is most noticeable at linebacker.
Sure, Will Witherspoon is a 10-year NFL veteran heading into his third season with Tennessee. But he's the rare veteran in a meeting room where Akeem Ayers and Colin McCarthy are back as starters after strong rookie seasons. The Titans also used their second-round draft pick on Zach Brown, boosting speed at the position.
Defensive coordinator Jerry Gray is pretty blunt about the fact he's expecting much more out of the group after wrapping up the team's offseason program Thursday.
That's the best part about it,'' Witherspoon said Thursday.We're going to have the opportunity to really be knowledgeable about everything on the defense more, show the nuances, to adapt to things. That's going to be a big change for us. Last year, it was, `OK, you go jump in the fire and start getting it moving.'''
Ayers and McCarthy did just that last year.
Ayers became the first rookie to start all 16 games for this franchise since 2002. The second-round draft pick out of UCLA also finished with 88 tackles and quickly was joined in the starting lineup by McCarthy, their fourth-round pick out of Miami, who had 76 tackles and a team-high eight tackles for loss despite starting only seven games down the stretch.
Last year, I came in trying to think what I need to be doing, trying to learn the entire defense in like a month's span,'' Ayers said.Now I pretty much know the defense, so it's tighten up the minor things and work on my technique.''
Ayers has done that, including refining his pass rush skills with assistant coach Keith Millard. Ayers had only two sacks and three tackles for loss as a rookie with no interceptions.
McCarthy replaced veteran Barrett Ruud as a starter in the middle in mid-November and impressed coaches with his play in calling defenses as a rookie. Now he's had the nine-week offseason program to study film with linebacker coach Frank Bush and see all the schemes Gray wants to add to the defense going into his second year as coordinator.
He also knows any success he and Ayers have had already is in the past.
You've got to perform every week,'' McCarthy said.Having the second year, we want to build off last year, limit the mistakes from last year and just get better. I think there's a lot of room for improvement defensively, things that we do. We worked toward that this offseason. We're going to build on that once we come back to camp.''
They worked this offseason beside Witherspoon, who played every game last year for his sixth straight season with 62 tackles.
In Gray's defense, players get the chance to play in situations that suit their strengths. That is why Gerald McRath was on the field in passing situations last year. That helped convince Zac Diles to sign with the Titans and rejoin Bush, who was his coordinator in Houston.
I get in here, and I'm like literally the second-oldest linebacker ...,'' Diles said.But it's a welcome change you can come in here and be around the young guys and just have fun out there.''
Even though Witherspoon said he still outraces some of his younger teammates, the Titans also believe they got much faster when they drafted the 6-foot-1, 242-pound Brown out of North Carolina in the second round in April. Brown set a school record with the track team by running the 60 meters in 6.72 seconds in 2009 and was timed at 4.44 in the 40-yard dash at the combine.
Zach's learning a lot from Will, a veteran who's been there, done that,'' coach Mike Munchak said.He can play all the spots at linebacker and can play the base package in the nickel. That's something very helpful for Zach to see Jerry's working him at both spots ... It's just a matter of seeing how quickly he can come on and help us.''
The Titans ranked eighth in points allowed but tied for 18th in giving up 346.8 yards per game. McCarthy said he's preparing for a big season and all of last year's rookies are excited going into their second year.
Having played last year will help us this year coming in, feeling comfortable,'' McCarthy said.Week 1, Patriots, here at home. That's what we're looking forward to.''
Notes: Munchak surprised his Titans on Thursday when they expected three team drills only to find themselves on the field for about an hour. They left helmets indoors and competed against each other pushing sleds, throwing balls at a moving target and finally in a tug of war pitting position groups against each, with the offense winning at the end. Munchak said it was a great way to send players off on vacation after 100 percent attendance this offseason. ... The Titans waived LS Jake Ingram and CB Gary Wilburn.
Spagnola: Painful Ending Clouds A Fine Season
Heading into the weekend, lets look back at some positives from the 2022 season, plus a quick look at what we already know going forward.
McCarthy Explains 2023 Outlook for Cowboys
Mike McCarthy is justifiably disappointed in how the season ended, but he also has every right to appreciate the trajectory of the Cowboys roster for 2023 — especially their draft successes.
McCarthy Saw Plenty of "Great Things" From Dak
Dak Prescott had his ups and downs this season from injuries to turnovers along with career milestones and a road playoff win. At the end of the day, head coach Mike McCarthy was pleased with his franchise QB's campaign.
Mailbag: What Made Dan Quinn Stay Again?
Last year, I was surprised Dan Quinn decided to come back. But this year, after the season we just had on defense, I'm truly shocked. Why do you think Quinn wants to be here more than getting back to a head coach? | {

CELEBRATING 15 YEARS OF THE ISUZU D-MAX
In 2005, Malaysians were introduced to a newcomer in the pick-up truck segment. The Isuzu D-Max that made its debut then proved to be the game-changer by bringing a whole new dimension to the way we moved.
Its frugal nature was simply legendary and when coupled with supreme dependability, the D-Max quickly made headway into the Malaysian market with robust sales propelling Isuzu into a top-ten position on the sales charts. Its appeal was undeniable and soon over 73,000 Isuzu D-Max made its way onto Malaysian roads and into the hearts of its owners.
Undeniably, at the heart of the D-Max's popularity were its core features of reliability, durability and fuel efficiency. Enjoying superior design and build by Japan's oldest automotive manufacturer and one of the world's largest truck companies, the Isuzu D-Max has been virtually unparalleled in its reliable nature.
The reliability prowess of this truck has been proven over a dozen consecutive times on the famed Borneo Safari off-road expedition. Serving as the depended official media vehicle, the Isuzu D-Max has proven its tenacity and off-roading capabilities through the very extreme conditions in Sabah with minimal modifications.
Regular users on the North-South highway will notice a significant number of Isuzu D-Max plying the highways daily. This phenomenon is due to the fact that drivers and business owners can always depend on the D-Max to arrive faithfully at its destination. One such user is Cheah Chee Ying whose 2011 3.0-litre Auto has clocked well over 880,000km and is still pushing on with hardly any major part replacements.
Ask any owner about his D-Max and the fact that his vehicle gives him excellent fuel mileage will be the first point he makes. After all, the Isuzu D-Max never relinquished the title of Malaysia's most fuel efficient pick-up truck by Asian Auto Magazine, an award it won for six consecutive years.
To prove its efficiency, a convoy of Isuzu D-Max comprising two units of 2.5-litre and two units of 3.0-litre each with auto and manual gearboxes were driven back in 2015 and completed the amazing 1,809km journey from Bangkok to Singapore using just the one tank of fuel it received before departing Bangkok.
While this is was an astounding feat by any standards, the following challenge by Isuzu Malaysia was even more mind-boggling as it combined three of the most demanding tasks for any vehicle – maximum load, extreme hill-climbs and phenomenal distance.
Loading up an Isuzu D-Max Single Cab 1.9-litre model with a tonne of boxes, the vehicle made its remarkable journey from the factory in Pekan, Pahang up four of the main peaks in Peninsular Malaysia – Gerik, Cameron Highlands, Fraser's Hill and Genting Highlands, each measuring over 1,000m in elevation – before arriving in Shah Alam, Selangor. The vehicle completed the 1,145km journey with fuel to spare.
The challenge also underlined the superiority of the new 1.9-litre Blue Power engine that was recently launched in the Malaysian market. Developed with state-of-the-art technology, the new engine offers improved engine performance, stronger and tougher operation while lowering noise and emissions. The lower displacement of 1,898cc also means the lowest road tax among all pick-up trucks in the country.
To cater to individual customer requirements, the Isuzu D-Max model range has been widened to 11 variants, allowing customers to select the most ideal Isuzu D-Max to suit their requirements and budgets.
With the strong appeal of the Isuzu D-Max over the last 15 years, it has endeared itself to its owners and users for its strong character, all-day comfort and dependable nature.
To celebrate the significant role the Isuzu D-Max has played in our lives over the past 15 years, Isuzu Malaysia is inviting owners to log into Isuzu D-Max Malaysia's commemorative page https://isuzudmax15years.com to share photos of themselves with their beloved pick-up truck.
Owners who successfully share their pictures before 15th of November 2020 will receive a limited-edition exclusive 15th anniversary t-shirt (while stocks last) specially produced for this programme. So hurry and don't miss out on this opportunity to share your love for your favorite pick-up truck and take home this very special souvenir.

Nelyadi, May 26, 2017 : A gas laden tanker proceeding from Mangaluru, overturned after colliding head-on with a tipper at Enjira- Lavatadka on the National Highway here on May 25, Thursday. Luckily there was no gas leakage. Three persons including the driver of the tipper sustained injuries and have been admitted to a hospital in Mangaluru.
The tipper was returning from Gundya after some road patch works. It is said the driver of the approaching tanker lost control over his vehicle resulting in the mishap. The Quick Response Vehicle as well as the Dharmasthala Police rushed to the spot and took necessary steps to clear the road for traffic.
The injured have been identified as driver Mustaq (30), Sarfaroz(26) and Siddique (35). As there have been frequent mishaps while negotiating a curve at Lavatadka, locals have demanded erecting of a speed breaker here.
Are the tanker drivers trained well on just appointed for less remuneration? | {

Spain's Primera Division, among football fans also known as La Liga, is one of the strongest leagues not only in Europe but the world. Real Madrid and FC Barcelona of course dominate the scene but clubs like Atletico and Valencia are always keen to trip up the giants. Primera Division betting, each and every game is worth a nice bet. And we usually offer hundreds! | {

A Lib-Lab pact: deep down they know it makes sense
It may not be exactly a love-in on the left, but a coalition government is the way to stop Cameron taking us back to 1979
@johnharris1969
Tue 15 Dec 2009 18.05 EST First published on Tue 15 Dec 2009 18.05 EST
It won't make it on to any list of my most significant moments of 2009, but this was the year that I attended my first Liberal Democrat conference: three days in Bournemouth that began with a feeling of breezy curiosity, and ended with me in danger of chewing my hands off. Yes, aside from his organisational ball-dropping on the so-called mansion tax, Vince Cable was rarely less than brilliant, and there is always something stirring about the Lib Dems' proud attachment to their own internal democracy. However, the event was haunted by the sense of how different things could easily be.
A few months on, where are they? The Lib Dems' poll scores continue to chunter along in the late teens; and unlike the election of 2005 – when Iraq, tuition fees and a 50% top rate of tax gave them an enviably solid platform – they still lack any clear electoral offer. Where is the tub-thumping on electoral reform or our disastrous engagement in Afghanistan? Is it really beyond their wit to turn Cable's dependably impressive take on the financial crisis into the stuff of primary-coloured proposals?
Of late, Nick Clegg has made arguably his most baffling move. Towards the end of November he was asked about the decent chance of what the Lib Dems used to call a "balanced" parliament; he replied that whichever party has "the strongest mandate from the British people" had a claim to a Lib Dem-backed crack at government – which, given the likelihood of the Tories getting the biggest share of the vote, looked distinctly like another shuffle to the right. There was no policy context for any Lib Dem support, let alone a recognition that a "mandate" could easily be based on the votes of around a quarter of the electorate. If you're a left-inclined voter in the kind of seat where the Lib Dems need all the support they can get, you should worry about assisting the prospects of a Tory party whose new "progressive" aspect is looking fragile, to say the least.
Plenty of Lib Dem members must be more anxious still. A recent BBC poll may have found only 31% of them in favour of a post-election coalition with Labour – but when it came to a deal with the Tories, the number was a miserable 16%. Therein lies a truth to which any conversation about the third party returns: that despite Labour people habitually decrying them – often with good reason – as apolitical opportunists or Tories-in-disguise, the instincts of most Liberal Democrats will always pull them to the centre-left.
And so to the biggest question. With recent polls pointing to an inconclusive election result, what chance of a Lib-Lab alliance? This much is clear(ish): there is widespread recognition among Labour high-ups of the impossibility of another majority in the Commons; some imaginative commentators have made the case for a deeply unlikely pre-election coalition; and there have been sporadic reports of Downing Street at least toying with similar notions.
I can only tell you what I know: when I have mentioned the idea of quietly talking to Lib Dems in preparation for a post-election tangle, senior Labour people have responded with a mixture of indifference and alarm: best to hold out some vague hope of co-operation without doing much about it. On the Lib Dem side, there's an even more tortured silence – heightened by Clegg's apparent openness to a Cameron ascendancy – and a very big fear: that to hint at both propping up Gordon Brown and toppling off the ideological high wire would lose them precious support in Tory-Lib Dem marginals.
Still, let us imagine. If Labour somehow managed to get the biggest share of seats, the case for a deal would be obvious – though if the Tories were only narrowly to outdo Labour, the game would not necessarily be up. In either case, it would take an ambitious PR job to sell a Labour-Lib Dem coalition. In advance – and here the importance of clear policy comes in – the Lib Dems would have to campaign on the kind of platform that implicitly rules out any deal with the Conservatives. In keeping with the necessity to recast a coalition as a unity administration rather than another Labour government with an expedient bolt-on, Labour would have to make some serious moves indeed: such as Brown's resignation, and the embrace of a clean-break agenda that would begin with a voting system based on Roy Jenkins's proposal for AV-plus.
All that said, even if Cameron formed a minority government and resolved to go back to the country soon after, some measure of Lib-Lab co-operation would surely be the only dependable means of breaking the Tories' momentum – and come the quickfire second election, there would be an even clearer argument for a common front.
Whichever scenario came to pass, both parties would face a watershed moment. Labour would have to accept the demise of the sour, shrill, authoritarian politics that greets every drop in the polls with a call to the redtops and a drive to crack down on that week's populist scapegoat; and any agreement would mark the death of Labour's claim – with membership reportedly down to 130,000 – to be the sole worthwhile presence on the centre-left. For some Lib Dems, mind you, the upshot could be every bit as scary: the imperative to finally leave the free-market right of politics well alone.
About 15 years ago, when there was arguably no need for it, Tony Blair's short-lived belief in political pluralism led to a fit of Lib-Labbery: a private understanding encompassing an electoral non-aggression pact and agreement that a hung parliament or small Labour majority would be the spark for coalition, involving two or three Lib Dem cabinet posts, and a move on PR.
Of course, this brief love-in happened when New Labour's progressive bona fides were largely untainted and Conservatism was unarguably on its way out – but there again, don't times like these make such moves even more imperative? Here, after all, is the absurdity of the likely post-election scenario: the basics of the post-1979 order still in tatters, but the prospect of a Tory government that would plainly attempt the revival of just about everything that has been so discredited.
For the Lib Dem leadership, that tension-cum-paradox cuts straight to the heart of a massively important choice: to carry on fuzzily tacking to the right – or realise that the moment requires not just much clearer policy, but some desperately needed strategic thinking. In short, history calls. But do they want to listen? | {

"Green" light at Habitat Richmond
"Thanks to a lot of hard work and dedication," explains Kathy Garvin, executive director of Metropolitan Richmond's Habitat for Humanity chapter, "Habitat has helped more than 225 families own their own home. If "affordable housing" is the goal, Habitat clearly has a how-to model as good as any."
But now Habitat Richmond wants to make its housing even more affordable and it's "going green" to get there by sealing and insulating crawl spaces, installing low e-windows, placing the heat pump beneath the house, not outside it, using hardi-planks instead of vinyl siding, and by choosing cork or bamboo flooring instead of carpeting.
Karl Bren, a Richmond-based consultant and advocate of "green" building techniques, has agreed to provide Richmond Habitat with both technical assistance and monitoring assistance to, as Garvin explains, insure that "our homeowners get what they sweat for" as the initiative moves forward. "On paper, green is a smart, short-term investment with long-term gains," she adds, "but we want to make sure."
"Green may be the color of money," notes Garvin, " but, over the long haul, we also believe it's the color of energy efficiency and long-term cost effectiveness. If we're right, "going green" will mean less of an impact on the environment and less of an impact on the wallets of Habitat homeowners."
Habitat for Humanity chapters like Richmond receive HUD Self-Help Opportunity Program (SHOP) grants to assist with infrastructure development. Building materials are donated by developers, contractors and others while the actual construction is done by volunteers. HUD's 21-point Energy Action Plan - launched by then Deputy Secretary Alphonso Jackson in 2001 - estimated that cutting HUD's energy costs by just 5 percent could realize savings of some $2 billion over the next year.
The 2005 LandAmerica home completed by Habitat Richmond volunteers in June, featured a sealed and insulated crawl space, low e-windows and a heat pump placed below the home. | {

Pop Bits: This R&B trio came about when siblings Isaac and Deborah Suthers decided to start a group. They held auditions for the third spot and it was won by singer Howard Huntsberry. Klique signed on with MCA and in 1981 issued their debut album It's Winning Time. It netted a couple singles that were middling entries on the R&B chart and that seemed to be enough for MCA to keep investing in the group. Their second album had similar results, but it was their third disc, Try It Out, that finally got them a big hit. This first single from the album vaulted to #2 at R&B while just making the top half of the Pop chart (their only single to reach that chart). Two more minor R&B singles would follow, but they rallied for a #15 R&B hit in 1985 titled "A Woman, A Lover, A Friend." It would be their final charting single. The group disbanded after their fourth album. The Suthers' would issue a single as a duo under the Klique name in 1986 title "Waiting for Ya Genie," but it did not chart. Huntsberry would continue with MCA as a solo act and in 1988 he had a #11 R&B hit with his song "Sleepless Weekend."
ReduxReview: This one was a bit of a surprise. Updating this old R&B chestnut wasn't a bad idea, but releasing it as a single seemed iffy at best. At a time when this older style of pop/R&B was a bit out of place on the charts, I wouldn't have placed any bets on this song to succeed. But it bucked the odds and deservedly came close to topping the R&B chart. The trio does a great job with the song. It has a solid (if a bit 80s-ish now) arrangement and Huntsberry's voice sells the crap out of it. It's a little lost gem from the decade.
Trivia: This is a remake of a song originally done by soul legend Jackie Wilson. Titled "Doggin' Around," the single hit #1 at R&B and #15 at Pop in 1960. Huntsberry's voice was quite similar to Wilson's, so Klique came up with the idea that they should cover a Wilson song for their third LP. They selected this tune and, with a slight title change, it became the trio's biggest hit. Their 1985 hit "A Woman, A Lover, A Friend" was also a Wilson cover. That 1960 single was another R&B #1 (#15 Pop). Other folks took notice of the vocal similarities between Huntsberry and Wilson, and that led to Huntsberry snaring a part in the 1987's La Bamba, the biographical film about singer Ritchie Valens. Huntsberry played the part of Jackie Wilson and sang Wilson's 1958 #1 R&B/#7 Pop hit "Lonely Teardrops" in the movie. Two years later, Huntsberry would cover another Wilson hit for the soundtrack to the film Ghostbusters II. He remade Wilson's 1967 #1 R&B/#6 Pop smash "(You're Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher." | {

Envt History Syllabus
Creating Story Maps
Nancy Langston
I am Distinguished Professor of Environmental History at Michigan Technological University. My most recent book, Sustaining Lake Superior (Yale University Press, Fall 2017), examines climate change and toxics in the Lake Superior basin.
I am now working on two projects. One explores climate change and animal migrations, focused on the upper Great Lakes. How has climate change affected the movements of three iconic species of the northern forest: woodland caribou, Great Lakes sturgeon, and loons? These species were once abundant in the Great Lakes region, but habitat change, toxics, and over-hunting decimated their populations by the early 20th century. Conservation efforts recovered breeding populations of loons and sturgeon, but woodland caribou are now ghost species throughout much of their former range. On a few islands along the north coast of Lake Superior, populations persist, but predators threaten them--and predator populations are driven by complex relationships between forest industrialization, energy development, moose populations, and climate change. How have the relationships between humans and these other species been influenced by climate change? How do animal migrations influence the mobilizations of toxics into distant spaces, and how does climate change in turn affect toxic mobility? Can restoring these species help in the fight against climate change? I recently gave a series of lectures on these topics for the 2019 Mandel Lectures in the Humanities at Brandeis University, which will be revised into a book to be published by University Press of New England. This project is funded by a National Science Foundation standard research grant.
My second project focuses on reindeer and caribou across the circumpolar north, exploring the ways the people and reindeer have shaped each other, and been shaped by each other, in times of rapid environmental and political change. One part of this research includes work with Tsaatan reindeer herders in Mongolia. Another part may include work with Saami herders in Sapmi.
I am also committed to increasing diversity in the field of environmental history, particularly in syllabi.
My previous books include:
An environmental history of Malheur Wildlife Refuge titled Where Land and Water Meet: A Western Landscape Transformed (University of Washington Press, 2003). Where Land and Water Meet focuses on dilemmas over riparian management in the West and offers pragmatic solutions to the conflicts that have paralyzed land management.
A history of the old growth crisis in the west titled Forest Dreams, Forest Nightmares: The Paradox of Old Growth in the Inland West (UWP 1995). Forest Dreams examines the causes of the forest health crisis on western national forests. It won the 1997 Forest History Society book prize for best book in forest and conservation history published in the preceding two years.
A history of endocrine disruptors titled Toxic Bodies: Hormone Disruptors and the Legacy of DES, (Yale University Press 2010). Toxic Bodies examines the history of synthetic chemicals that disrupt hormones and the struggle for a precautionary principle to protect human and environmental health.
Since July 2013, I have been a professor at Michigan Technological University, part of the Great Lakes Research Center and the Department of Social Sciences. During 2012-2013, I was the King Carl XVI Gustaf Professor of Environmental Science at Umeå University in Sweden. Before that, I was a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for 17 years, with appointments in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies and the Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology. | {

\section{Introduction}
Many systems respond to external perturbations by avalanches
which behave intermittently with a power-law distribution of sizes.
The paradigm of such self-organized
critical (SOC) behavior is the so-called sandpile model \cite{btw}.
It maintains by an infinitely slow drive a
critical steady-state, where the internal dissipation
balances the external drive.
Candidates for such phenomena
include granular piles \cite{held-etal:1990,frette-etal:1996},
microfracturing processes \cite{petri-etal:1994},
and earthquakes \cite{gutenberg-richter:1956}.
Despite many theoretical and numerical investigations a thorough
understanding of self-organized criticality is still lacking
\cite{tang:1988,zhang:1989,kadanoff-etal:1989,hwa-kardar:1992,%
paczuski-boettcher:1996,dickman-etal:1998,dhar:1998,%
vespignani-zapperi:1997}.
Fundamental problems which need to be solved involve deriving a
continuum theory which would for instance determine
the upper critical dimension, above which mean-field theory applies
\cite{tang:1988,ZLS:1995}.
Similar behavior can be found from elastic interfaces driven through
random media
\cite{narayan-fisher:1993,nattermann-etal:1992,leschhorn:1993,laszlo}.
They undergo a continuous (critical)
depinning transition as the external driving force is varied.
With increasing force one passes from
a phase where the interface is pinned to a depinned phase where the
interface moves with a constant velocity.
Close to the critical point, the motion of the interface takes
place in ``bursts'' with no characteristic size
and the interface develops scaling described by critical exponents.
These phenomena can be met in
fluids driven through porous media \cite{rubio-etal:1989}, in
domain walls in magnets (the Barkhausen effect) \cite{zapperi-etal:1998},
in flux lines in type II superconductors \cite{field-etal:1995},
and in charge-density waves \cite{middleton-fisher:1993}.
In this paper we investigate the connections between
self-organized criticality and depinning transitions
\cite{tang:1988,paczuski-boettcher:1996,narayan-fisher:1993
zapperi-etal:1998,narayan:1994,paczuski-etal:1996,cule:1998,allau:1999}.
We first establish a generic, exact relation \cite{allau:1999}
between sandpile models and driven interfaces which builds upon previous investigations
of e.g.\ a charge-density wave model \cite{narayan:1994}
and a rice-pile model \cite{paczuski-boettcher:1996}.
Specifically, we discuss the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld (BTW) \cite{btw} model
and, as an example, a stochastic sandpile model
\cite{christensen-etal:1996,AL:1996}
through a mapping to a model for interface depinning
with slightly different noise terms.
The mapping enables one to understand the
slow-drive criticality used in sandpile simulations in terms of standard
concepts for driven interfaces.
Using the continuum theory for interface depinning
it follows for these sandpile models that the upper critical dimension
$d_c$ is 4, and the relevant noise is of quenched type. The connection
with interfaces allows us to establish a scaling relation for the correlation
length exponent for sandpile models. In addition, we discuss in the
interface representation sandpiles driven at fixed density,
driven at boundaries, and extremal drive criticality.
\section{Sandpiles}
The sandpile models are here defined as follows: to each site of a
$d$-dimensional
lattice (square in $d=2$) of size $L^d$ is associated a variable $z_x$ which
counts the number of grains on that site.
When the number of grains on a site exceeds a critical threshold
$z_x > z_c$, the site is active and it topples.
This means that $2d$ grains are removed from that site and
given to the $2d$ nearest neighbors (nn):
$z_x \to z_x - 2d$,
$z_{nn} \to z_{nn} + 1, ~ \forall nn$.
Sandpiles are usually open such that grains which topple out of the system
are lost (in one dimension: $z_0 \equiv z_{L+1} \equiv 0$). It is also possible,
as discussed later, to use periodic boundary conditions.
When there are no more active sites in the system,
one grain is added to a randomly
chosen site, $z_x \to z_x + 1$.
The time and number of topplings till the system again contains no active
sites define an avalanche and its internal lifetime and size.
For the BTW model one has $z_c=2d-1$, whereas for stochastic sandpile
models \cite{christensen-etal:1996,AL:1996}
the threshold $z_c$ is not constant.
Below we will focus on 1) the BTW model and 2) a stochastic model
where the threshold $z_c$ is randomly chosen to be for example
$2d-1$ or $2d$ after each toppling, i.e.\ $P(z_c)$, the probability
distribution of the $z_c$'s, is any reasonable choice (i.e.\
decaying sufficiently fast).
In terms of the internal avalanche time, the external drive
is infinitely slow \cite{finite-drive}.
After a transient, the system reaches a steady-state in
which the slow drive and the dissipation of grains balance each other.
The boundary conditions (BCs) are essential to obtain
criticality and they are usually of the Dirichlet type, $z\equiv 0$,
such that particles are dissipated to the outside \cite{ZLS:1995}.
Alternatively, the SOC steady state can be reached by using
bulk dissipation and, e.g., periodic BCs \cite{vespignani-zapperi:1997}.
In the SOC steady-state the probability to have avalanches of lifetime $t$
and size $s$ follow power-law distributions:
$
p(t) = t^{-\tau_t} f_t(t/L^z)
$
and
$
p(s) = s^{-\tau} f(s/L^D) ,
$
with $s\sim t^{D/z}$ and $z(\tau_t-1)=D(\tau-1)$ \cite{Teb99}.
Here the size scales as $s\sim \ell^D$
and the (spatial) area as $\ell^{d}$ (for compact avalanches)
with $\ell$ the linear dimension.
The fact that each added grain will perform of the order of $L^2$
topplings before leaving the system leads to the fundamental result
\begin{equation}
\left< s \right> \sim L^2
\label{eq:<s>}
\end{equation}
independent of dimension \cite{tang:1988,kadanoff-etal:1989}.
Thus, $\tau=2-2/D$ and $\tau_t = 1 + (D-2)/z$.
Equation~(\ref{eq:<s>})
yields $\gamma/\nu=2$, where $\gamma$ describes the divergence
of the susceptibility
(bulk response to a bulk field) near a critical point,
$\chi = \left< s \right> \sim |\Delta|^{-\gamma}$,
and $\nu$ is the (spatial) correlation length exponent,
$\xi \sim|\Delta|^{-\nu}$ \cite{tang:1988}.
Here $\Delta=\zeta-\zeta_c$ is the control parameter,
$\zeta = \left< z_x \right>$, and the critical value
$\zeta_c = \left< z_x \right>_{\rm SOC}$, where this average
is taken in the slowly driven SOC steady-state with $\Delta=0$
\cite{tang:1988,dickman-etal:1998}.
\section{Interface depinning}
For driven interfaces in random media critical scaling is obtained with a
force $F$ close to a critical value $F_c$. Depinned
interfaces move with a velocity $v\sim f^\theta$,
with $f=F-F_c \geq 0$. Pinned interfaces
are blocked by pinning paths/manifolds which arise from the
quenched disorder environment. Close to criticality, correlations scale
as $x^{2\chi}$, with $\chi$ the roughness exponent, up to a
correlation length $\xi \sim |f|^{-\nu}$.
The characteristic time scale is $\xi^z$ with $z$ the dynamic exponent
and it follows that $\theta=\nu(z-\chi)$
\cite{narayan-fisher:1993,nattermann-etal:1992}.
Near the depinning transition, the simplest choice
to describe the dynamics of the interface
is the following continuum equation
('quenched Edwards-Wilkinson', or linear
interface model, LIM)
\cite{narayan-fisher:1993,nattermann-etal:1992,leschhorn:1993}:
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial H}{\partial t} = \nabla^2 H + \eta(x,H) + F.
\label{eq:qEW}
\end{equation}
Here, $H(x,t)$ measures the height of a given site $x$ at time $t$.
The quenched noise $\eta(x,H)$ has correlations given by
$
\langle \eta(x,H) \eta(x',H')\rangle
= \delta^d(x-x') \, G(H-H'),
$
where $G(H-H')$ decays rapidly, approximated
by a delta function for random-field disorder.
The critical exponents at the depinning transition
have been calculated by $\epsilon$-expansions
\cite{narayan-fisher:1993,nattermann-etal:1992}
and simulations \cite{leschhorn:1993,laszlo,qEW-exponents}.
The upper critical dimension is $d_c=4$, above which
mean-field theory applies \cite{qEW-mft}.
Below we will also discuss so-called columnar noise with
$G(H)\equiv 1$ \cite{parisietpietronero}.
The interface equation~(\ref{eq:qEW}) obeys an invariant
so that the static response scales as \cite{narayan-fisher:1993}
$\chi(q,\omega=0) \sim q^{-2}$, i.e.,
\begin{equation}
\gamma/\nu = 2 .
\label{eq:gamma/nu}
\end{equation}
For forces below $F_c$, the (bulk) response of the interface triggered
by a small increase in $F$ scales as
$ \chi_{\rm bulk} \equiv {d \left< H \right>} / {dF}
\sim (F_c-F)^{-\gamma}$.
Right at the critical point one can argue as follows
\cite{narayan-fisher:1993,nattermann-etal:1992}:
the roughness of the interface scales as $\ell^\chi$ and assuming that
$\Delta \left< H \right>$ will scale in the same way it follows
\begin{equation}
\gamma = 1 + \chi \nu .
\label{eq:gamma}
\end{equation}
This yields $\chi + 1/\nu = 2$, i.e., there are only two independent exponents
for depinning described by (\ref{eq:qEW}).
The standard scaling relations are valid for interfaces
with parallel dynamics: all sites with $\partial H / \partial t > 0$
are updated in parallel.
Note that interfaces with extremal (i.e., one unstable site
at a time) and parallel
drive have the {\it same\/} pinning paths.
This manifests the Abelian character of the LIM
in that the order in which active sites are advanced does not
matter \cite{paczuski-etal:1996}.
\section{Mapping of sandpile dynamics}
Next we will show that the SOC critical behavior can be related exactly to the
slowly driven depinning transition in an interface model.
Thus, Eqs.~(\ref{eq:<s>}) and (\ref{eq:gamma/nu}) are equivalent
and Eq.~(\ref{eq:gamma}) yields an
expression for the correlation length exponent $\nu$ for sandpiles.
The first step is to formulate the stopping of an avalanche in a SOC
system as being due to a pinning path for an interface $H(x,t)$.
This field is given in the continuum limit by
\begin{equation}
H(x,t) = \int_{0}^{t} dt' \, \rho(x,t') ,
\label{eq:H=int-rho}
\end{equation}
where the order parameter $\rho(x,t)$ is the activity (topplings)
at site $x$ at time $t$, i.e., $\rho=\dot{H}=v\sim f^\theta$.
In words: $H(x,t)$ counts the number of topplings at site $x$ up to time $t$.
At the microscopic level
this is an exact correspondence between a toppling
and the interface advance.
A toppling takes place when $z_x > z_c$, which by the relation
\begin{equation}
z_x = z_c + \frac{\partial H}{\partial t} ,
\label{eq:z-def}
\end{equation}
yields the dynamics $\partial H/\partial t > 0 ~ \Rightarrow ~ H \to H + 1$,
whereas $H$ is unchanged at the sites where no toppling takes place.
The dynamics of sandpile models thus map to discrete interface equations
where an avalanche takes the interface $H(x,t)$
from one pinning path to the next in the quenched random medium
\cite{paczuski-boettcher:1996,narayan-fisher:1993
zapperi-etal:1998,narayan:1994,cule:1998}.
Since the interface counts topplings it does not move
backwards and thus Eq.~(\ref{eq:z-def}) effectively reads
${\partial H}/{\partial t}=\theta(z_x-z_c)$, which
is the standard discretization for depinning models \cite{leschhorn:1993}.
We are currently investigating the applicability of such discretization
procedures to various models \cite{allau:1999,unpublished}.
Next, we express $z_x$ in terms of $H(x,t)$ for the specific
models introduced above. The number of grains $z_x$ on site $x$
is $z_{x} = N_{in} - N_{out} + F(x,t)$,
where $N_{in}$ is the number of grains added to this site from
its $2d$ nearest neighbors (nn) and
$N_{out}$ is the number of grains removed from this site
due to topplings. The (external) driving force $F(x,t)$ counts
the number of grains added from the outside.
Since $N_{in}=\Sigma_{nn} H(x_{nn},t)$ and $N_{out}=2dH(x,t)$
(for details and extensions to other models see \cite{unpublished})
we arrive at
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial H}{\partial t} = \nabla^2 H - z_c(x,H) + F(x,t) ,
\label{eq:H-eq}
\end{equation}
where $\nabla^2 H$ is the discrete Laplacian.
The Dirichlet boundary conditions for $z_x$ become $H\equiv 0$
and the dynamics is parallel. Similar connections have been previously
discussed for a charge-density wave model \cite{narayan:1994}
and for a boundary driven rice-pile model \cite{paczuski-boettcher:1996}
(see below).
In the stochastic model, $z_c(x,H)$ is a random variable which
changes after each toppling.
Thus $z_c(x,H)$ acts like quenched random point-disorder similar to
$\eta(x,H)$ in Eq.~(\ref{eq:qEW}).
The BTW model has $z_c$ equal to a constant.
The dissipation needed to reach the SOC state (loss of grains $z_x$)
takes place through the BC of $H\equiv 0$.
Using strong boundary pinning may thus give rise to
the possibility of observing SOC experimentally in
systems displaying a depinning transition.
We emphasize that the mapping prescription can in principle
be applied to any sandpile model.
For other, more complicated, toppling rules
\cite{kadanoff-etal:1989,AL:1997} additional terms like
the ``Kardar-Parisi-Zhang'' nonlinearity $|\nabla H|^2$
may appear.
On the internal (fast) time scale the driving force
$F(x,t)$ does not act as a time-dependent noise but
as columnar-type disorder.
It counts all the grains added to the system by the slow drive,
i.e.\ $F(x,t) \to F(x,t) +1$,
and thus increases as function of time in an uncorrelated fashion.
In the opposite limit when a grain is added (e.g.) each time step
(``fast drive'') $F(x,t)$ would correspond to a time-dependent
noise \cite{narayan-fisher:1993}.
Since $H\equiv 0$ at the boundary and $F$ increases as
function of time the steady-state profile of $H$ will
be close to a paraboloid or, in one dimension, a parabola
(see also \cite{dickman-etal:1998}).
In the steady-state, just after an avalanche, the slowly increasing
force $F$ is balanced by the negative curvature $\nabla^2 H$ of the
paraboloid such that all sites are pinned ($\partial H/\partial t \le 0$).
This illustrates that the interface effectively is driven by a force
equal to the critical force $F_c\equiv \zeta_c-\overline{z_c}$,
where $\overline{z_c}$ is the average of $z_c(x,H)$ in the steady state
(for the BTW model trivially $z_c =2d-1$).
Accordingly, the slow drive reaches the depinning
critical point by adjusting the dissipation to the driving force
such that the velocity (order parameter) is infinitesimal.
The steady-state of the different sandpile models
is described by an equation similar to Eq.~(\ref{eq:qEW}).
Thus the exponent relation (\ref{eq:gamma/nu})
holds and it is equivalent to Eq.~(\ref{eq:<s>}) which
describes the scaling of the average avalanche size (``susceptibility'').
Assuming that a roughness exponent $\chi$ can be defined for sandpile models,
one can argue that Eq.~(\ref{eq:gamma}) is valid also for sandpiles.
Furthermore, the upper critical dimension is $d_c=4$.
Note that the ensuing noise will contain a columnar component
\cite{narayan:1994,cule:1998,parisietpietronero}
due to the random drive $F(x,t)$.
The one-dimensional BTW model has a critical force
$F_c=1-1=0$, which corresponds to the critical point of the
columnar-disorder interface model \cite{parisietpietronero}.
In $d>1$, one has $F_c<0$ which in combination with the fact that
the interface by definition cannot move backwards implies that
the BTW model displays a more complicated behavior
than the columnar models investigated in
\cite{narayan:1994,parisietpietronero}. Note also that avalanches in
stochastic models will have a random structure due to the explicit
point disorder whereas avalanches in the BTW model show a more
regular behavior \cite{allau:1999,avalanches}.
For the case of the boundary driven one-dimensional
rice-pile models \cite{christensen-etal:1996,AL:1996}
a similar mapping of the dynamics can be done with
an auxiliary field $H(0,t)$ and a drive implemented as
$H(0,t) \to H(0,t) +1$ \cite{paczuski-boettcher:1996}.
The rice-pile models have Dirichlet BC at $x=0$ and Neumann
BC (reflective) at $x=L$ which yields $\left<s\right>\sim L$.
In our picture the boundary drive is $F(1,t) \to F(1,t) +1$
and $F(x>1,t)=0$. Because of the Neumann BC
[$H(L,t)=H(L+1,t)$] the steady state develops
a parabolic profile with the left branch pointing up
\cite{paczuski-boettcher:1996}.
\section{Various ensembles}
We next consider the more straightforward
cases in which sandpiles are studied
with periodic boundary conditions (amounting to $H(1) = H(L)$
in one dimension). In such cases the SOC steady state can be
tuned into by various approaches. It can be reached by using a
carefully tuned bulk dissipation
$\epsilon \sim L^{-2}$ \cite{vespignani-zapperi:1997}.
In this case, periodic BCs are also the best since the scaling of the system
is not a mixture of boundary and bulk scaling \cite{LFH:1998}.
As above, we arrive at
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial H}{\partial t}
= \nabla^2 H - z_c(x,H) -\epsilon(x,H) + F(x,t)
\label{eq:H-eq-eps}
\end{equation}
with $H$ periodic. As in Eq.~(\ref{eq:H-eq}), the force $F(x,t)$
is columnar and increases on the slow time scale.
The dissipation $\epsilon(x,H)$ takes now into account
all the grains removed before the site at $x$ topples.
It increases with a (small) probability only when
a site topples and this means that $\epsilon$ explicitly depends on $H$.
Therefore, a dissipation event effectively corresponds to
a shift in the $z_c$ value. Thus, one obtains that the BTW model
with bulk dissipation contains a very weak point-disorder component
(since the increases in $\overline{F}$ equal in the statistical sense
the increases in $\epsilon$). Though point-disorder is in general
expected to be a relevant perturbation, in the infinite system
size limit the Larkin length
\cite{narayan-fisher:1993,nattermann-etal:1992}
associated with the cross-over
from columnar behavior diverges and thus the avalanche
behavior is not governed by the weak point disorder.
By this argument the BTW models with or without bulk dissipation
are equivalent
to the same interface depinning equation (\ref{eq:qEW})
in accordance with simulations of the BTW
and bulk dissipation models \cite{chessa-etal:1998}.
Note that the boundary critical behavior of the BTW model
depends on the specific boundary condition:
Dirichlet BCs display a different behavior
\cite{D=2}, whereas Neumann BCs (reflective)
are similar to the bulk.
In the case of periodic BCs and bulk dissipation,
the $H$-field fluctuates around an average flat profile.
The terms $F(x,t)$ and $\epsilon(x,H)$
will balance each other in the steady state with
an average difference such that $F_c=\zeta_c-\overline{z_c}<0$.
For larger dissipation rates the system moves away from the critical
point and, in analogy to Eq.~(\ref{eq:gamma/nu}),
the bulk susceptibility scales as
$\chi_{\rm bulk} \sim 1/\epsilon \sim \xi_{\epsilon}^{1/\nu_\epsilon}$,
with $\nu_\epsilon=1/2$ \cite{vespignani-zapperi:1997}.
The fixed density (or energy) drive
previously used in simulations \cite{tang:1988,dickman-etal:1998}
corresponds to a normal driven interface. Thus, the situation is such
that $H(x,t=0)=0$, $\zeta = L^{-d} \sum_{x} F(x,0)$ with $F(x,t)=F(x,0)$,
and periodic BCs and $\epsilon(x,H)\equiv 0$ such that no 'grains' are lost.
The control parameter $\Delta=\zeta-\zeta_c$ ($=F-F_c\equiv f$) is varied
and criticality is only obtained when $\Delta=0$;
note that choosing $\zeta$ corresponds to using a spatially dependent
force $F(x,0)$ with $\zeta=\left< F(x,0) \right>$.
Here, the system is not generally
in the SOC steady-state but by letting the control
parameter $\Delta\to 0$ one reaches the critical point
\cite{tang:1988,dickman-etal:1998}.
The noise is set at the beginning
of an avalanche at the columnar values $F(x,0)$.
Depending on the exact nature of the initial configuration
one may observe a different dynamic behavior but the steady-state
behavior should
correspond to the slowly driven case \cite{dickman-etal:1998}.
In ``microcanonical'' simulations \cite{chessa-etal:1998prl} one has
dissipation operating on the slow time
scale with exactly the same rate as $F(x,t)$.
Thus microcanonical simulations correspond to
fixed density simulations with a specific initial configuration:
after each avalanche, the time is reset
to zero, the force is replaced with $F \to F +\nabla^2 H$, and
the forces at $x'$ ($x''$) are increased (decreased)
by one unit where $x'$ and $x''$ are randomly chosen sites.
Finally the interface is initialized, $H\equiv 0$.
Since the $\nabla^2 H$ term does not introduce correlations
this new starting condition is equivalent to the fixed density case
but with the initial configuration chosen to be in the SOC steady state.
Combining the scaling relations (\ref{eq:gamma/nu}) and
(\ref{eq:gamma}) it follows that
\begin{equation}
2+d = D + 1/\nu ,
\label{eq:scal-rel}
\end{equation}
where $D = d + \chi$. In addition,
the average area scales as $\left< \ell^d \right> \sim L^{1/\nu}$.
These relations are also valid
for sandpiles and Eq.~(\ref{eq:scal-rel}) provides estimates for $\nu$:
in $d=1$, $\nu\approx 1.30$,
and in $d=2$, $\nu\approx 0.78$.
Numerical results yield $\nu=1.25(5)$ ($d=1$, stochastic model) \cite{veje}
and $\nu=0.79(4)$ ($d=2$, BTW model) \cite{dickman-etal:1998}.
Note, however, that the estimates quoted for $\nu$ for sandpile models
depend on the relation $D = d+\chi$, which means that the underlying
assumption is that the roughness exponent $\chi$ can be defined
for slowly driven sandpile models.
\section{Conclusions}
In summary, we have started from the depinning equation
(\ref{eq:qEW}) to discuss the continuum description of self-organized
critical sandpile models. Thus, their upper critical dimension
is $d_c=4$ and a scaling relation for the correlation
length exponent $\nu$ is obtained.
We find that the BTW model has columnar disorder $F$ on the
avalanche time scale whereas the stochastic models have
explicitly point disorder included.
Other models with slightly modified toppling rules
(e.g., the Manna model \cite{manna:1992}) may or may not belong
to the same classes depending on the noise terms arising from
the mapping (this we are currently investigating further
in \cite{allau:1999,unpublished}).
The present approach shows that the relevant noise for sandpiles is
'quenched'. The physics of sandpiles is such that the random decisions
or events (grain deposition, choices for thresholds) are frozen into
the dynamics of a site as long as it is stable, and their memory
decays only slowly as the activity goes on.
A recent field theory for
$\rho(x,t)$ used analogies from systems with absorbing
states and assumed that the noise was
Reggeon field-theory like (i.e., time-dependent
and not quenched) \cite{dickman-etal:1998}.
Physically, the effect which is not incorporated in
such Gaussian correlations is that the pinning forces along
the interface selects a pinning path in the random media
which stops the avalanche.
The mapping between interface and sandpile dynamics allows one
to characterize the sandpile universality classes by
the quenched noise in the interface equations. It also allows
to gain novel insight about the previously introduced ways of reaching
the depinning critical point:
balancing the force with dissipation (slow drive, or self-organized
criticality), tuning the average force (as for fixed density sandpiles),
tuning the interface velocity (extremal drive criticality),
and finally tuning the driving force.
This becomes possible because of the
diffusive character of interface or sandpile dynamics and because of the
Abelian character of the linear interface equation.

If you encountered three enchanting ladies in a wood at dusk, and they offered to tell your fortune, would you accept?
In the land of Hans Christian Andersen, anything is possible….
I have yet to find any information about the photographer, P. Christensen. Sonderburg is the German name for the town of Sønderborg, in southern Denmark, near the border with Germany.
Amazing outfits! Love the set too!
The clothes are fabulous, this sort of photo always makes me wonder whether they put on some kind of costume for the photo or whether this was their Sunday best.
Interesting to see the German inscription on the card. I come from the German side of the border, but to this day the German and Danish populations overlap in that area. There is a Danish-speaking minority in northern Germany and a German-speaking minority in southern Denmark. Danish-German marriages are quite common as well, and names such as Jensen and Petersen are commonplace in my hometown. Not that the people with these names are necessarily Danish, but they hint at a common past.
My guess would be that these are just costumes, but who knows! Thanks for sharing thoughts about your homeland. I've never been to Denmark or northern Germany, but I did have the impression that people in the border area have much in common, much shared history, and a regional identity.
I wouldn't. I want to have an illusion that I make choices in my life.
But the picture is just amazing! Thank you for posting this!
I don't think I'd want to know the future, either. It's better to focus on the present. Thanks for your comment!
Um, no, actually. I've become a suspicious sort.
Good for you! In fairy tales, knowledge usually comes at a cost.
This is a wonderful photo, Brad. I'm not surprised you bought it. I'm fascinated by their clothes – particularly the translucent fabric that is over their skirts. I don't think I've seen that before. It should be possible to find out more about it, I'd think. My thought is that they're not actually wearing costumes as the clothing looks too 'fine' for that. The upper parts (over-bodices) look like velvet.
Thank you Val, it's really interesting that you don't think they're wearing costumes. You've spent a lot of time thinking about fabrics and styles for coloring photos, so I appreciate your perspective on this. Given the quality of their outfits, it seemed to me that the sitters must be from a wealthy background.
Thank you, Suzanne! Your comments lead to thoughts about identity, authenticity and social acceptance. It's ironic that three women dressed in costumes for a party or festival might be socially acceptable, while three women wearing styles representing their actual heritage might be ostracized. I agree with you about the gentle appearance of the woman in the center. The woman on the left looks like the wise-cracker of the group, so I'd ask her to tell my fortune. If she could read this comment, she'd undoubtedly let me have it! I hope the three of them went on to lead full and happy lives and that their friendship endured long after this moment together. Thank you again!
I'm another one who wouldn't ask them to read my fortune. I don't trust that one on the left.
Oh, yes, I would stop to have my fortune told!
Makes me think immediately of the "weird sisters" of Shakespeare, tho these three don't look "weird." Also the three muses of Rome. Three seems to be a magical number.
Absolutely! And the Danes know their Shakespeare. I wonder if that's what these three friends had in mind! | {

The Strangers: Prey at Night – Film Review
by Greg Mucci 7 May 2018 7 May 2018
Leave a Comment on The Strangers: Prey at Night – Film Review
Starring: Christina Hendricks, Martin Henderson & Bailee Madison
Directed by: Johannes Roberts
I'm a sucker for horror sequels! There's something about its underdog status that I relish, often finding myself rooting for it over its more popular older sibling. But horror sequels can be tough! They're entirely different beasts than their predecessors, living by a brand new set of rules. Expectations are higher, and fans anticipate an increased body count with plenty more gore. For the most part, brand new victims need to be integrated into a world already blood strewn from the first, pitting them against a killer that fans either love – Scream's Ghost Face, or love to hate; I Know What You Did Last Summer's hook-wielding fisherman. Everything is at stake, and nothing and nobody is really safe anymore.
This is exactly why director Johannes Roberts follow up to Bryan Bertino's 2008 bone-chillingly bleak home invasion film, The Strangers, quickly popped up on my radar as a sequel to look out for. Not only was it bringing back three terrifyingly ambiguous killers – the Masked Man, Dollface, and Pin-Up for some more late-night slashing, but it was leaving behind the confines of a couple's cabin, bringing us into the open playing field of a trailer park. Sprinkle in some mall-hits of the 80's, and The Strangers: Prey at Night seemed destined to slay as a slasher sequel.
But like I said, horror sequels can be tough.
Acting as more of a slasher than a home invasion film, The Strangers: Prey at Night opens with the first films F-100 pick-up truck pulling up to a trailer while blasting Kim Wilde's 'Kids in America', embracing the because you were home-anarchy of our three killers. It's a sendoff into a decade that's currently all the rage, saturating both soundtracks (The Guest) and television (Netflix's Glow) alike. Soon our three disguised predators begin terrorizing a family who are just trying to drop off their moody rebellious teenage daughter, Kinsey (played by Bailee Madison), at a trailer park that also happens to be a boarding school. It's a relatively strange setting for an education, but as any intelligent horror fan knows, it isn't so much the playing field as it is the players and how it's used.
Johannes Roberts, who re-invented the oversaturated Jaws formula by shoving it inside a shark cage with last year's 47 Meters Down, leads us out into the open, playing off the chase aspect of the slasher subgenre more than anything else. It's more because you showed up than "because you were home", ditching the safety and intimacy of the domicile, focusing less on the shadowy meet and greet of the first in favor of the stalk and slash of films like Halloween and Christine. And Roberts's affection and predilection for John Carpenter's entire filmography can be felt in just about every frame, working more as a copy and paste effect rather than a nod to the nature that brought those films to roaring life.
Roberts effectively uses the cramped quarters of a shark cage to suffocating depths in 47 Meters Down, which imparts a genuine fear through Aquaphobia, once again reminding us why the expansiveness of the ocean is so damn terrifying. And maybe Roberts works better in tight spaces or perhaps off-land, as he never quite grasps the openness in the camp-like setting of Kinsey's new boarding school.
Dollface (Emma Bellomy) skulks after her and her brother Luke (Lewis Pullman) with all the mannerisms of Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees, though it all amounts to nothing but posturing. Roberts replicates the design of the slasher, but he forgets that with such recreation comes the necessity for the feel of it; that unending pursuit that raises the hair on our neck that makes us want to turn around and beg for our lives.
Except that these are lives whose grief feels inconsequential, a family who is forced to make rash decisions and move on in order to survive. While it makes the film feel as immediate and natural as the first, the takeaway is how little affection we have for them, which is a surprising turn of events given how quickly (and powerfully) we feel for The Strangers first victims, Kristen and James (Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman).
Their grief is tangible, tumultuous, and teetering on the brink of destruction, yet tethered by love. Roberts works to replicate the suddenness of the family's rocky relationship, and it could quite possibly work in the same vein had we been given an opening into the cracks that have formed between Kinsey and her parents, Cindy and Mike (Christina Hendricks and Martin Henderson).
Instead, Kinsey is angst-ridden towards her parents for putting her in this new setting, and Luke is simply caught in the middle, trying to lead his own life while playing the face of reason for every moody outbreak. These are simply cookie-cutter characters going through the motions while emoting, which happens to be far less effective than it wants to be. It feels placed in front of us because that's just how the family dynamic works, even if it means we don't firmly believe it.
As the body count rises and the 80's pop hits slice through scenes – which range from Air Supply to Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart in a surprisingly masterful pool scene, it becomes more and more clear that enthusiasm and passion don't make a horror hit. Even the elements of the chase, taking on a fiery Christine exterior, don't feel cut from an understanding of what makes them work, placing them on screen because it's a horror fan serving horror fans.
It's an endearing quality that worked swimmingly with 47 Meters Down, yet within the terrorizing nihilism of its three masked maniacs, The Strangers: Prey at Night feels more like someone sucked all the fruit flavor fun out of our stash of retro Wax Bottles.
The Strangers: Prey at Night is now on general release in UK cinemas.

Prince: La nueva 'cover story'
prince the new cover story de billboard.com
Jan. 22, 2013, 6:53 PM UTC
More than three decades into his career, Prince is still recording amazing music -- and fighting as hard as he can for the ownership of his songs. "I was reluctant to let you come," says the man sitting in front of me, "until I heard that you\'re planning to do a story about ownership."
I have flown out from Los Angeles to the ice fields of Minneapolis ("Well, it\'s back to the tundra," says one of my fellow passengers as we touch down on a crisp 12-degree day) on 24 hours\' notice. I am hoping I will get a chance to discuss the spontaneous touring strategy Prince has raised to an innovative art in the last few years, as well as what plans he may have for his storehouse of unreleased material (his last album was 2010\'s 20Ten). And I\'m planning to talk with him about his being chosen as Billboard\'s 2013 Icon honoree at the Billboard Music Awards in May.
But I begin wondering how much of that we\'ll get to when I get word from Prince\'s manager, Julia Ramadan, that I should spend what little time I have to prepare by watching "The Adjustment Bureau" (more on this later), reading the Twitter feed of an apparent (and mysterious) Prince bootlegger and watching an online video discussion between a Prince superfan and the blogger Dr. Funkenberry. And now I\'m worried that the interview I\'ve come here for may not happen at all.
One thing you learn quickly about Prince: He doesn\'t suffer fools or folks who don\'t know what they\'re talking about. For the next three hours, we ricochet back and forth on a variety of topics. Later, back at my hotel, I\'ll be re-creating our conversation from memory. This is how Prince interviews have unfolded for many years. He remains adamant about not allowing reporters to record their conversations with him. ("Some in the past have taken my voice and sold it," he says. "I can\'t remember the incident that triggered it and it\'s probably best that I don\'t.") And he still frowns at the idea of a reporter taking notes. ("That would be just like texting.")
Later on, I will watch Prince audition a drummer. Right now, I\'m involved in an audition of my own. "Let\'s talk a little," Prince says as I follow him into a second-floor conference room, "and see if we vibe first." Without missing a beat and keeping steady eye contact, he makes a few comments about media ownership and control, then shoots out a question. How would I get the word out about, and then monetize a lyric video for, one of his new songs, "Screw Driver," that I\'d been shown a few minutes earlier? I tell him an online post will generate enough interest to get us to monetization-given the fan clamor for new Prince music, there\'s a community ready to pay a nominal price to get their hands on said track. Nothing revolutionary, but Prince pauses and thinks it over. I think I may have passed the audition.
It\'s a 40-minute drive from the airport to the Minneapolis suburb of Chanhassen, Minn. As the driver makes a left turn, two stark white buildings materialize seemingly out of nowhere. Other than a small gray sign at the foot of the driveway noting the address and where trucks should make deliveries, there is no signage or any other vehicles, let alone human activity. The cabbie, hesitant as to whether we\'ve found the right place, keeps the meter running for the three minutes it takes for someone to come outside and let me in. But there\'s no denying the aura: This is Paisley Park.
Ramadan-a tall, svelte recent USC graduate who met Prince during his run of 21 shows at the L.A. Forum (see story, page 31) and quickly ascended to management status-welcomes me and ushers me down a hallway with a light-blue carpet accented with stars and crescent moons. Album plaques line the walls. We arrive at the doorway of a cavernous soundstage, with an oddly elongated piano just outside. On it is the Love Symbol, first introduced on the 1992 album that marked his Artist Formerly Known As period.
The Love Symbol is emblazoned all around Paisley Park. Once inside the soundstage, you can\'t miss it hanging on the wall facing the stage. And that\'s when I first see the man himself, onstage, guitar in hand, rehearsing with a female backing trio: Donna Grantis on guitar, Ida Nielsen on bass, Hannah Ford Welton on drums. The foursome is jamming tight and hard on "What If," from contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Nichole Nordeman\'s 2005 album "Brave." (It\'s about Jesus and non-believers-what if you\'re right and he\'s just another nice guy? But what if you\'re wrong and there\'s more than you ever dreamed of?) Motioning Ramadan and I to come forward as he continues to play, Prince directs us to come onstage. Lining the perimeter are assorted instruments, microphones, stereo equipment and-atop one mic stand-a cinnamon-colored wig.
Prince is rehearsing with this trio for performances that he cryptically says will begin in two days. (Two days after we speak, he announces six last-minute shows at Minneapolis\' Dakota Jazz Club. Tickets for all six, ranging from $70 to $250, sell out in one morning.) The ever-slender Prince-a strikingly ever-youthful advertisement for the maxim "black don\'t crack"-is garbed in yellow pants and a long, oversized button-front white-and-yellow jersey emblazoned with "MPLS" on the front. His Afro is covered by an incongruous hat in the shape of a lion. His other eye-catching accessory: wedged silver shoes adorned with periodically flashing red lights. A full-fledged rock star, even in rehearsal.
Prince alternates between guitar and keyboards, and the songs they play spark to life with every touch he adds. "What If" is followed by new arrangements of two Prince songs-the springy funk-rocker "Cause and Effect" from 2010 and the vintage "Around the World in a Day" B-side "She\'s Always in My Hair"-and all three songs provide a bird\'s-eye view of Prince\'s skills as an artist and multitasker. There\'s the singer/songwriter for whom music remains a deep-rooted passion-and above all, fun. There\'s the mesmerizing instrumentalist on guitar and keyboard, sounding just as improvisational, energetic and fresh as he did when he hit the scene in 1978. Then there\'s also the teacher/mentor who gets off on finding and molding new talent.
He suggests the drummer take a solo on the end of the last song and has the trio go back and practice the last four bars with that in mind. Despite the cavernous feeling of the room, a camaraderie and warmth permeate the premises as he and the ladies go through their paces. Signaling the end of the practice session ("We work for 15 minutes and then take a break," he says with a chuckle), he offers his hand to help me down the stairs and I\'m spirited away to another office in the Paisley Park maze.
Here I meet a young man named Jason Franzen working on a computer, putting the finishing touches on a lyric video for the previously mentioned double-entendre rocker "Screw Driver." Then it\'s on to the second floor of the complex. As we\'re walking down the hall to a conference room where we can sit and talk, Prince throws me for a loop: "I hear you may be writing about the \'O\' word," he says. It takes me a few minutes to understand what he\'s referring to. There was a time in Prince\'s career when "the \'O\' word" might have had a more lascivious connotation. But the O word he\'s referring to now is "ownership."

Landmark draft Bill published for future referendum.
Ruth Maguire MSP has welcomed a draft independence referendum Bill, published today, to give people in Scotland the right to decide their future, once the current health crisis is over.
Constitution Secretary Michael Russell said the draft Bill is being brought forward to offer Scotland the choice of who is best placed to lead the country's post-pandemic recovery – the people who live here or a government based in Westminster.
The draft Scottish Independence Referendum Bill publication sets out a number of key issues for a vote, including:
the timing of a referendum should be a matter for the next Scottish Parliament to decide. Ministers have separately made clear it should take place once the public health crisis is over
the question "Should Scotland be an independent country?" is the same one used during the 2014 referendum and it will be tested by the Electoral Commission
voting eligibility will be extended to match the franchise at Scottish Parliament and local government elections
The draft Bill has been published on the Scottish Government's website. It will be for a future Scottish Government to consider whether it formally introduces a Bill in the Scottish Parliament.
Mr Russell said:
"Our top priority will continue to be dealing with the pandemic and keeping the country safe, but we are optimistic that because of the incredible efforts of people across Scotland better times lie ahead.
"The Scottish Government believes it should be the people living in Scotland who have the right to decide how we recover from the pandemic and what sort of country we wish to build after the crisis.
"If Westminster maintains its control, recent history shows what Scotland can expect: an economic recovery hindered by a hard Brexit that is already taking a significant toll and the continued, systematic undermining of devolution, which is weakening our parliament's powers to maintain food and environmental standards and protect the NHS from post-Brexit trade deals.
"Scotland's recovery should be made by the people who live here and who care most about Scotland. That is why Scotland's future should be Scotland's choice.
"It should be for the next Scottish Parliament to decide the timing of the referendum. So that the recovery from the pandemic can be made in Scotland, the Scottish
Government believes it should be held in the first half of the new Parliamentary term.
"If there is a majority in the Scottish Parliament after the forthcoming election for an independence referendum there can be no democratic justification whatsoever for any Westminster government to seek to block a post-pandemic referendum."
Commenting on the draft publication Ruth Maguire MSP said:
"Should Scotland elect a pro-independence majority at the forth coming Scottish Parliament Election on the 6th of May, this draft Bill sets out how the Scottish Parliament, not Westminster, can progress with a referendum, within the new Parliamentary term.
"Scotland's future must be for the people of Scotland to decide".

Ken Hitchcock discovering how thin Edmonton Oilers really are
Robert TychkowskiMore from Robert Tychkowski

Wayne Gretzky's to be replaced by new condo development
TRAIKOS: Francis has 'blank canvas' with new Seattle franchise
A little roster juggling could do the Winnipeg Jets a lot of good next season
The deeper Ken Hitchcock gets into his tenure with the Edmonton Oilers, the more he realizes why he is their seventh coach in the last 10 years.
There are more holes in this roster than solidified positions.
Once you get past the four forwards who actually generate goals and assists — Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Leon Draisaitl and Alex Chiasson — everyone else is pretty much a passenger when it comes to offence.
Jujhar Khaira is fifth in scoring among forwards with 13 points in 36 games. Next is Drake Caggiula with 10 points. We are approaching the halfway mark of the season and nine of their 14 forwards have three or fewer goals.
"I'm trying to get more people involved," said Hitchcock, after a night where Connor McDavid had three assists on goals from Chiasson, Draisaitl and Nugent-Hopkins, but the Oilers lost for the fourth time in five games.
"Rather than rely on the same two or three people every night all the time to do everything, I'm trying to get more people connected. We aren't getting enough support players."

So he shuffles and mixes and matches and tries to figure out a combination that will work on a team that, despite having the best player in the world, still, incredibly, sits 23rd in the league in goals per game.
But nobody else is coming through for him.
Even the Identity Line, which wasn't even asked to score (although that was pretty much the tacit understanding when the three of them were put together) has lost momentum.
"We had it going a little bit when we put Brodziak's line together," said Hitchcock. "But they've struggled, they haven't been as good as they were before."
So he either has to ride McDavid harder than he should, knowing this pace will catch up to him eventually, or put the hopes of this team on the shoulders nine guys who've combined to turn 253 man games into 16 goals.
"We're going to have to figure out who's helping and who's hurting for us to get to another level," said Hitchcock. "We can't keep doing it the same way over and over because it's not going to work. We're leaning on people pretty heavy.
"Other people have to seize opportunities. We have to get more (from everyone else). That's why I'm doing what I'm doing, trying to include more participants to get more people to help because, unless it changes, it's looking a lot like we don't have enough support for a major push up front."
Edmonton Oilers' Milan Lucic (27) battles the Tampa Bay Lightning's Danick Martel (62) during second period NHL action at Rogers Place, in Edmonton Saturday Dec. 22, 2018. Tampa Bay won 6-3. David Bloom / Postmedia
That's how Todd McLellan, Todd Nelson, Dallas Eakins, Ralph Krueger, Tom Renney and Pat Quinn saw it: A few bright stars getting very little help from the rest of the forwards.
"We have to find people who can give us that support because we're going to end up running on fumes if we don't," said Hitchcock. "You're seeing it happen on the back end."
Ah yes, the back end, where it is just as thin as the forwards.
The blue line had been functioning well enough this year, but it was like the late stages in a game of Jenga, precariously balanced and ready to collapse as soon as somebody removed the wrong piece.
That piece was Oscar Klefbom, whose absence has been amplified by the loss of Kris Russell.
With two of their top four defencemen missing, everyone else is being elevated into positions they aren't equipped to handle and the results are in the numbers: 1-3-1 with 20 goals against in the five games since they've both been out.
"Everybody has injuries, we just couldn't afford to have the ones we've had," said Hitchcock. "We were in a position where we had enough on the back end to get through, but we got hit hard and now we're paying a price for it.
"We're playing people too high up the ladder and it's showing. It's affected us in a big way. Some teams can afford it, some teams can absorb it."

This team can't. And Klefbom isn't coming back anytime soon, so any strategy that involves simply waiting five weeks for his return is somewhat risky.
And any notion that this team might be able to out-score its weaknesses on defence have already been examined in the earlier paragraphs.
So it's looking like a very delicate balance right now, and God forbid anything should happen to one of those four forwards who are actually producing.
"As the (Tampa Bay) game went on we got a little bit exposed with what lineup we're dressing right now," said Hitchcock who had a lot to think about over the Christmas break. "We're going to have to find a way to get through it for a little while."

Oil Spills podcast: Win some, lose some — Oilers at mid-season, Part 1
Part 1 of a look back at the Edmonton Oilers' season so far — a mid-season report of sorts as NHL teams near the halfway mark of the 2018-19 schedule.
Jim Matheson, Derek Van Diest and Craig Ellingson talk about three simmering, ongoing subjects surrounding the Oilers, including:
– the rise of Mikko Koskinen to become the starting goaltender.
– the Nov. 20 coaching change that saw Ken Hitchcock replace Todd McLellan as head coach.
– the ongoing saga of Milan Lucic, who has struggled to score this season and last.

Project acronym 2-HIT
Project Genetic interaction networks: From C. elegans to human disease
Researcher (PI) Ben Lehner
Host Institution (HI) FUNDACIO CENTRE DE REGULACIO GENOMICA
Summary Most hereditary diseases in humans are genetically complex, resulting from combinations of mutations in multiple genes. However synthetic interactions between genes are very difficult to identify in population studies because of a lack of statistical power and we fundamentally do not understand how mutations interact to produce phenotypes. C. elegans is a unique animal in which genetic interactions can be rapidly identified in vivo using RNA interference, and we recently used this system to construct the first genetic interaction network for any animal, focused on signal transduction genes. The first objective of this proposal is to extend this work and map a comprehensive genetic interaction network for this model metazoan. This project will provide the first insights into the global properties of animal genetic interaction networks, and a comprehensive view of the functional relationships between genes in an animal. The second objective of the proposal is to use C. elegans to develop and validate experimentally integrated gene networks that connect genes to phenotypes and predict genetic interactions on a genome-wide scale. The methods that we develop and validate in C. elegans will then be applied to predict phenotypes and interactions for human genes. The final objective is to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic interactions, and to understand how these interactions evolve. The combined aim of these three objectives is to generate a framework for understanding and predicting how mutations interact to produce phenotypes, including in human disease.

Project acronym 4C
Project 4C technology: uncovering the multi-dimensional structure of the genome
Researcher (PI) Wouter Leonard De Laat
Summary The architecture of DNA in the cell nucleus is an emerging epigenetic key contributor to genome function. We recently developed 4C technology, a high-throughput technique that combines state-of-the-art 3C technology with tailored micro-arrays to uniquely allow for an unbiased genome-wide search for DNA loci that interact in the nuclear space. Based on 4C technology, we were the first to provide a comprehensive overview of long-range DNA contacts of selected loci. The data showed that active and inactive chromatin domains contact many distinct regions within and between chromosomes and genes switch long-range DNA contacts in relation to their expression status. 4C technology not only allows investigating the three-dimensional structure of DNA in the nucleus, it also accurately reconstructs at least 10 megabases of the one-dimensional chromosome sequence map around the target sequence. Changes in this physical map as a result of genomic rearrangements are therefore identified by 4C technology. We recently demonstrated that 4C detects deletions, balanced inversions and translocations in patient samples at a resolution (~7kb) that allowed immediate sequencing of the breakpoints. Excitingly, 4C technology therefore offers the first high-resolution genomic approach that can identify both balanced and unbalanced genomic rearrangements. 4C is expected to become an important tool in clinical diagnosis and prognosis. Key objectives of this proposal are: 1. Explore the functional significance of DNA folding in the nucleus by systematically applying 4C technology to differentially expressed gene loci. 2. Adapt 4C technology such that it allows for massive parallel analysis of DNA interactions between regulatory elements and gene promoters. This method would greatly facilitate the identification of functionally relevant DNA elements in the genome. 3. Develop 4C technology into a clinical diagnostic tool for the accurate detection of balanced and unbalanced rearrangements.

The data showed that active and inactive chromatin domains contact many distinct regions within and between chromosomes and genes switch long-range DNA contacts in relation to their expression status. 4C technology not only allows investigating the three-dimensional structure of DNA in the nucleus, it also accurately reconstructs at least 10 megabases of the one-dimensional chromosome sequence map around the target sequence. Changes in this physical map as a result of genomic rearrangements are therefore identified by 4C technology. We recently demonstrated that 4C detects deletions, balanced inversions and translocations in patient samples at a resolution (~7kb) that allowed immediate sequencing of the breakpoints. Excitingly, 4C technology therefore offers the first high-resolution genomic approach that can identify both balanced and unbalanced genomic rearrangements. 4C is expected to become an important tool in clinical diagnosis and prognosis. Key objectives of this proposal are: 1. Explore the functional significance of DNA folding in the nucleus by systematically applying 4C technology to differentially expressed gene loci. 2. Adapt 4C technology such that it allows for massive parallel analysis of DNA interactions between regulatory elements and gene promoters. This method would greatly facilitate the identification of functionally relevant DNA elements in the genome. 3. Develop 4C technology into a clinical diagnostic tool for the accurate detection of balanced and unbalanced rearrangements.
Project acronym 4D-GenEx
Project Spatio-temporal Organization and Expression of the Genome
Researcher (PI) Antoine COULON
Host Institution (HI) CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE CNRS
Summary This project investigates the two-way relationship between spatio-temporal genome organization and coordinated gene regulation, through an approach at the interface between physics, computer science and biology. In the nucleus, preferred positions are observed from chromosomes to single genes, in relation to normal and pathological cellular states. Evidence indicates a complex spatio-temporal coupling between co-regulated genes: e.g. certain genes cluster spatially when responding to similar factors and transcriptional noise patterns suggest domain-wide mechanisms. Yet, no individual experiment allows probing transcriptional coordination in 4 dimensions (FISH, live locus tracking, Hi-C...). Interpreting such data also critically requires theory (stochastic processes, statistical physics…). A lack of appropriate experimental/analytical approaches is impairing our understanding of the 4D genome. Our proposal combines cutting-edge single-molecule imaging, signal-theory data analysis and physical modeling to study how genes coordinate in space and time in a single nucleus. Our objectives are to understand (a) competition/recycling of shared resources between genes within subnuclear compartments, (b) how enhancers communicate with genes domain-wide, and (c) the role of local conformational dynamics and supercoiling in gene co-regulation. Our organizing hypothesis is that, by acting on their microenvironment, genes shape their co-expression with other genes. Building upon my expertise, we will use dual-color MS2/PP7 RNA labeling to visualize for the first time transcription and motion of pairs of hormone-responsive genes in real time. With our innovative signal analysis tools, we will extract spatio-temporal signatures of underlying processes, which we will investigate with stochastic modeling and validate through experimental perturbations. We expect to uncover how the functional organization of the linear genome relates to its physical properties and dynamics in 4D.

Project The Archaeology of Agricultural Resilience in Eastern Africa
Researcher (PI) Daryl Stump
Host Institution (HI) UNIVERSITY OF YORK
Summary "The twin concepts of sustainability and conservation that are so pivotal within current debates regarding economic development and biodiversity protection both contain an inherent temporal dimension, since both refer to the need to balance short-term gains with long-term resource maintenance. Proponents of resilience theory and of development based on 'indigenous knowledge' have thus argued for the necessity of including archaeological, historical and palaeoenvironmental components within development project design. Indeed, some have argued that archaeology should lead these interdisciplinary projects on the grounds that it provides the necessary time depth and bridges the social and natural sciences. The project proposed here accepts this logic and endorses this renewed contemporary relevance of archaeological research. However, it also needs to be admitted that moving beyond critiques of the misuse of historical data presents significant hurdles. When presenting results outside the discipline, for example, archaeological projects tend to downplay the poor archaeological visibility of certain agricultural practices, and computer models designed to test sustainability struggle to adequately account for local cultural preferences. This field will therefore not progress unless there is a frank appraisal of archaeology's strengths and weaknesses. This project will provide this assessment by employing a range of established and groundbreaking archaeological and modelling techniques to examine the development of two east Africa agricultural systems: one at the abandoned site of Engaruka in Tanzania, commonly seen as an example of resource mismanagement and ecological collapse; and another at the current agricultural landscape in Konso, Ethiopia, described by the UN FAO as one of a select few African "lessons from the past". The project thus aims to assess the sustainability of these systems, but will also assess the role archaeology can play in such debates worldwide."

Project Advancing Behavioral and Cognitive Understanding of Speech
Researcher (PI) Bart De Boer
Host Institution (HI) VRIJE UNIVERSITEIT BRUSSEL
Call Details Starting Grant (StG), SH4, ERC-2011-StG_20101124
Summary I intend to investigate what cognitive mechanisms give us combinatorial speech. Combinatorial speech is the ability to make new words using pre-existing speech sounds. Humans are the only apes that can do this, yet we do not know how our brains do it, nor how exactly we differ from other apes. Using new experimental techniques to study human behavior and new computational techniques to model human cognition, I will find out how we deal with combinatorial speech. The experimental part will study individual and cultural learning. Experimental cultural learning is a new technique that simulates cultural evolution in the laboratory. Two types of cultural learning will be used: iterated learning, which simulates language transfer across generations, and social coordination, which simulates emergence of norms in a language community. Using the two types of cultural learning together with individual learning experiments will help to zero in, from three angles, on how humans deal with combinatorial speech. In addition it will make a methodological contribution by comparing the strengths and weaknesses of the three methods. The computer modeling part will formalize hypotheses about how our brains deal with combinatorial speech. Two models will be built: a high-level model that will establish the basic algorithms with which combinatorial speech is learned and reproduced, and a neural model that will establish in more detail how the algorithms are implemented in the brain. In addition, the models, through increasing understanding of how humans deal with speech, will help bridge the performance gap between human and computer speech recognition. The project will advance science in four ways: it will provide insight into how our unique ability for using combinatorial speech works, it will tell us how this is implemented in the brain, it will extend the novel methodology of experimental cultural learning and it will create new computer models for dealing with human speech.

Project acronym ABRSEIST
Project Antibiotic Resistance: Socio-Economic Determinants and the Role of Information and Salience in Treatment Choice
Researcher (PI) Hannes ULLRICH
Host Institution (HI) DEUTSCHES INSTITUT FUR WIRTSCHAFTSFORSCHUNG DIW (INSTITUT FUR KONJUNKTURFORSCHUNG) EV
Summary Antibiotics have contributed to a tremendous increase in human well-being, saving many millions of lives. However, antibiotics become obsolete the more they are used as selection pressure promotes the development of resistant bacteria. The World Health Organization has proclaimed antibiotic resistance as a major global threat to public health. Today, 700,000 deaths per year are due to untreatable infections. To win the battle against antibiotic resistance, new policies affecting the supply and demand of existing and new drugs must be designed. I propose new research to identify and evaluate feasible and effective demand-side policy interventions targeting the relevant decision makers: physicians and patients. ABRSEIST will make use of a broad econometric toolset to identify mechanisms linking antibiotic resistance and consumption exploiting a unique combination of physician-patient-level antibiotic resistance, treatment, and socio-economic data. Using machine learning methods adapted for causal inference, theory-driven structural econometric analysis, and randomization in the field it will provide rigorous evidence on effective intervention designs. This research will improve our understanding of how prescribing, resistance, and the effect of antibiotic use on resistance, are distributed in the general population which has important implications for the design of targeted interventions. It will then estimate a structural model of general practitioners' acquisition and use of information under uncertainty about resistance in prescription choice, allowing counterfactual analysis of information-improving policies such as mandatory diagnostic testing. The large-scale and structural econometric analyses allow flexible identification of physician heterogeneity, which ABRSEIST will exploit to design and evaluate targeted, randomized information nudges in the field. The result will be improved rational use and a toolset applicable in contexts of antibiotic prescribing.

Project Acency Costs and Asset Pricing
Researcher (PI) Thomas Mariotti
Host Institution (HI) FONDATION JEAN-JACQUES LAFFONT,TOULOUSE SCIENCES ECONOMIQUES
Summary The main objective of this research project is to contribute at bridging the gap between the two main branches of financial theory, namely corporate finance and asset pricing. It is motivated by the conviction that these two aspects of financial activity should and can be analyzed within a unified framework. This research will borrow from these two approaches in order to construct theoretical models that allow one to analyze the design and issuance of financial securities, as well as the dynamics of their valuations. Unlike asset pricing, which takes as given the price of the fundamentals, the goal is to derive security price processes from a precise description of firm's operations and internal frictions. Regarding the latter, and in line with traditional corporate finance theory, the analysis will emphasize the role of agency costs within the firm for the design of its securities. But the analysis will be pushed one step further by studying the impact of these agency costs on key financial variables such as stock and bond prices, leverage, book-to-market ratios, default risk, or the holding of liquidities by firms. One of the contributions of this research project is to show how these variables are interrelated when firms and investors agree upon optimal financial arrangements. The final objective is to derive a rich set of testable asset pricing implications that would eventually be brought to the data.

Project The Proceedings of the Ecumenical Councils from Oral Utterance to Manuscript Edition as Evidence for Late Antique Persuasion and Self-Representation Techniques
Researcher (PI) Peter Alfred Riedlberger
Host Institution (HI) OTTO-FRIEDRICH-UNIVERSITAET BAMBERG
Summary The Acts of the Ecumenical Councils of Late Antiquity include (purportedly) verbatim minutes of the proceedings, a formal framework and copies of relevant documents which were either (allegedly) read out during the proceedings or which were later attached to the Acts proper. Despite this unusual wealth of documentary evidence, the daunting nature of the Acts demanding multidisciplinary competency, their complex structure with a matryoshka-like nesting of proceedings from different dates, and the stereotype that their contents bear only on Christological niceties have deterred generations of historians from studying them. Only in recent years have their fortunes begun to improve, but this recent research has not always been based on sound principles: the recorded proceedings of the sessions are still often accepted as verbatim minutes. Yet even a superficial reading quickly reveals widespread editorial interference. We must accept that in many cases the Acts will teach us less about the actual debates than about the editors who shaped their presentation. This does not depreciate the Acts' evidence: on the contrary, they are first-rate material for the rhetoric of persuasion and self-representation. It is possible, in fact, to take the investigation to a deeper level and examine in what manner the oral proceedings were put into writing: several passages in the Acts comment upon the process of note-taking and the work of the shorthand writers. Thus, the main objective of the proposed research project could be described as an attempt to trace the destinies of the Acts' texts, from the oral utterance to the manuscript texts we have today. This will include the fullest study on ancient transcript techniques to date; a structural analysis of the Acts' texts with the aim of highlighting edited passages; and a careful comparison of the various editions of the Acts, which survive in Greek, Latin, Syriac and Coptic, in order to detect traces of editorial interference.

Project Australasian Colonization Research: Origins of Seafaring to Sahul
Researcher (PI) Rosemary Helen FARR
Host Institution (HI) UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON
Summary One of the most exciting research questions within archaeology is that of the peopling of Australasia by at least c.50,000 years ago. This represents some of the earliest evidence of modern human colonization outside Africa, yet, even at the greatest sea-level lowstand, this migration would have involved seafaring. It is the maritime nature of this dispersal which makes it so important to questions of technological, cognitive and social human development. These issues have traditionally been the preserve of archaeologists, but with a multidisciplinary approach that embraces cutting-edge marine geophysical, hydrodynamic and archaeogenetic analyses, we now have the opportunity to examine the When, Where, Who and How of the earliest seafaring in world history. The voyage from Sunda (South East Asia) to Sahul (Australasia) provides evidence for the earliest 'open water' crossing in the world. A combination of the sparse number of early archaeological finds and the significant changes in the palaeolandscape and submergence of the broad north western Australian continental shelf, mean that little is known about the routes taken and what these crossings may have entailed. This project will combine research of the submerged palaeolandscape of the continental shelf to refine our knowledge of the onshore/offshore environment, identify potential submerged prehistoric sites and enhance our understanding of the palaeoshoreline and tidal regime. This will be combined with archaeogenetic research targeting mtDNA and Y-chromosome data to resolve questions of demography and dating. For the first time this project takes a truly multidisciplinary approach to address the colonization of Sahul, providing an unique opportunity to tackle some of the most important questions about human origins, the relationship between humans and the changing environment, population dynamics and migration, seafaring technology, social organisation and cognition.

Finally I can cross this holiday destination off my (extremely) long bucket list: Copenhagen! After so many years of spending my holidays at Denmark's North Sea and Baltic Sea costs, I have finally travelled to the capital this summer. I don't know for how many years I have wanted to go to Copenhagen and I can also not tell you exactly why. Maybe it is because I love danish design so much or that I've been a fan of hygge before this word found its way out of Denmark? One reason might also be that I love city trips, being near the sea, exploring towns on my own. All these things had a huge influence in why I chose Copenhagen for my summer holiday destination.
I am definitely not a fan of autumn. In fact, I hate it with a passion! All the rain and the wind and the lack of daylight. The only thing that keeps me alive right now is my participation in this year's NaNoWriMo – the National Novel Writing Month. | {

Heather Rainier
heather-rainier
Contemporary Menage a Trois/Quatre Western/Cowboys Fairy Tales/Myths Fantasy
Heather Rainier lives and writes in South Central Texas. Her stories offer up the content of her fantasies, with autobiographical humor, triumph and tragedy mixed in. With great pride, Heather writes erotic romances exclusively for Siren Publishing, under their Ménage Everlasting and Everlasting Classic imprints.
Heather's love of romance fiction began as a teenager when her mom gave her copies of Kathleen Woodiwiss's The Flame and the Flower and Bertrice Small's Skye O'Malley. To this day she's pretty sure that was her mom's version of the "birds and the bees" talk.
Heather writes the type of novel she loves to read: More erotic and edgy than the mainstream, with plenty of sweet romance mixed in and a happily ever after guaranteed. Heather's favorite type of hero is the gentle, lovable giant but readers will discover a wide variety of heroes and alphas on the pages of her novels, from nearly perfect to very flawed. Heather hopes that readers relate to her heroines and the challenges and dilemmas they face head on.
Heather believes that life doesn't always present love to us in neat little sanitized packages. Sometimes we have to seize the day, live life with no regrets, forget the past, never give up, learn to trust, and dare to live, even in outrageous circumstances. Those themes are woven throughout her Divine Creek Ranch Collection which debuted in November of 2010.
When not happily typing at her keyboard, Heather is usually busy corralling her kids, volunteering as a reading tutor, or loving on her smokin' hot husband, who thankfully loves to cook.
Q: What's your favorite quote?
A: "Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often." (Mae West)
Q: Where did you get your pseudonym?
A: My husband. I felt it was fitting, because he was there for me, quietly observing as I wrote my first novel, "Divine Grace", and witnessed the profound affect writing had on me. It seemed fitting that he name me.
Q: How often do you write? What is your writing day like?
A: I write every weekday and on Saturdays as well. I write in the morning and afternoon, and then stay up late correcting and revising. You know you love what you're doing when you don't mind the missed sleep.
Q: What do you like to read?
A: Paranormal romances, contemporary ménage romances, and contemporary BDSM erotic romance. If it has strong romantic / erotic elements I'll read it.
Q: Who are your favorite authors?
A: Leah Brooke, Tymber Dalton, Jenny Penn and J. R. Ward.
Q: How do you develop your heroes and heroines? Where does inspiration come from?
A: Inspiration comes from daily life. From a song on the radio, or someone I'm observing, or from a story someone tells me about their life, or while in the grocery store. A cowboy was in the checkout line in front of me and struck up a conversation, flirting the whole time. He was dressed all in denim, wearing a cowboy hat and boots. He was the real deal, and I knew I had the foundation for one of my heroes. One character was the product of a Google image search. This stunning image of a cowboy popped up, and within five minutes, I knew what his name was, and who his heroine would be.
Q: In regard to writing, what are your likes and dislikes?
A: I love publishers and editors who are willing to be tough, picky, and challenging when it comes to honing a manuscript…and the staff who support them so brilliantly. I like friends who volunteer to read what I've written, and then actually follow through and do it, giving me solid input and suggestions. I dislike children who stand near my laptop with an open beverage in their hands.
Q: What motivated you to start writing?
A: An epiphany at my 25th high school reunion. I worried prior to the reunion about what to wear, what to do about my hair, my weight…my whatever. Maybe I'm a little slow on the uptake, but the night of the reunion I realized none of those people noticed or cared about me, then or now. The ones who mattered were my husband, family and friends. That night, I confided to my husband that I'd always wanted to write, and he encouraged me to do whatever I had to, to pursue that dream. I stopped worrying what everyone else thought and began to pursue what made me happiest.
Q: What did you do when you got the email from Siren, notifying you they wanted to publish your first book?
A: I screamed. I couldn't get my fingers to work the mouse to open the email. I could barely hold the phone to call my husband and tell him the good news. We celebrated big-time that weekend.

About DAVI LUXURY BRAND GROUP INC.
DAVI LUXURY BRAND GROUP, INC., founded by Carlo Mondavi, grandson of American Icon Robert Mondavi, develops, licenses and markets luxury skin care products using the antioxidants found in wine and grapes. The company markets skincare products under the "DAVI Skin" and "DAVI" brand names. The products currently are provided as amenities at prestige hotels and as first class in-flight airline amenities. The company's goal is to also market its branded skincare products through upscale department stores, specialty retailers, prestige resorts, salons and spas, on cruise ships, and through airline duty-free shops. The company's skincare products contain minerals, vitamins and nutrients that are found in a by-product of the wine making process called the pomace. Planting techniques at select vineyards produce deeper vines with a lower yield of grapes per vine. After processing, these grapes yield higher concentrations of minerals, vitamins, and nutrients than grapes from other vineyards. Additionally, the uniquely long maceration process to which these grapes are subjected, yield polyphenols in relatively high quantity. Polyphenols are the free radical scavengers that, among other things, help to protect collagen and elastin fibers and prevent the destruction of hyaluronic acid in the skin. Management believes that the use of this pomace will allow for the creation of skin crèmes that can help fight the natural aging process of the skin.

Rev. Al Sharpton takes de Blasio, NYPD Commissioner Bratton to task over Eric Garner death as mayor calls for change
By Corinne Lestch
Mayor de Blasio vowed to improve police-community relations during an extraordinary meeting Thursday at City Hall.
It was an extraordinary scene at City Hall — Mayor de Blasio sitting between his police commissioner and the Rev. Al Sharpton, facing tough questions about police tactics after the death of a black man arrested by white cops.
And at one point, Sharpton made it personal. "If Dante wasn't your son, he'd be a candidate for a chokehold. And we've got to deal with that reality," Sharpton told the mayor.
"I think that your ability to show some sensitivity is what raised hope and gave you the plurality that you got to become mayor. But now, I think we've got to go from that hope to actuality."
The mayor convened the sitdown to address anger in the minority community fueled by the case of Eric Garner, the Staten Island man who on July 17 was placed in an apparent chokehold by cops and then died.
The seating arrangements — top cop Bill Bratton on de Blasio's right, the outspoken Sharpton on his left — symbolized de Blasio's balancing act as he tries to keep crime under wraps while fulfilling his campaign vow to make cops sensitive to communities of color.
The mayor said his administration had been changing police conduct and would do more — but he also issued a stirring defense of Bratton, calling him the "finest police leader in the United States of America, period."
Sharpton, Bratton and de Blasio each delivered opening statements before the meeting was closed to the press. A half-dozen black clergy members from Staten Island and most of de Blasio's senior aides also attended.
Differences between Sharpton and Bratton were clear.
Sharpton questioned Bratton's faith in new police training to prevent future tragedies.
"You got to deal with training," Sharpton said. "But I also think, commissioner, that the best way to make police stop using illegal chokeholds is to perp-walk one of them that did. . . . It will send a lesson that 10 training sessions will not give them."
But Bratton said new training was crucial.
"I would disagree in some respects with him on the issue," Bratton said. "Training is absolutely the essential catalyst for, out of this tragedy, finding opportunity."
Bratton said that he was drawing up a budget proposal to retrain all 35,000 members of the NYPD, with a focus on the 20,000 cops who routinely work in the streets. The training would take place a few days each year and cost "tens of millions of dollars" annually, he said.
Sharpton also took issue with the Police Department's strategy of going after petty crimes to prevent larger ones, also known as "broken windows" policing.
The tactic is "disproportionate in the black and Latino community," he said, questioning its effectiveness.
When he died, Garner was being taken into custody on suspicion of selling bootleg cigarettes, considered a petty offense.
Sharpton also challenged comments Bratton made previously that he did not think race played a role in the death of Garner, 43, a father of six.
"How do we assume, before an investigation, that a policeman with two civil rights violations didn't have race involved?" Sharpton asked.
He was referring to Daniel Pantaleo, the officer who appeared to place Garner in a chokehold despite the suspect's repeated cries of "I can't breathe," according to a videotape of the arrest.
De Blasio said — several times — that he agreed with Sharpton about the need for change.
"I take Rev. Sharpton's admonition to heart — the time is now," de Blasio said. But the mayor also said that "the work of reform takes real intensity, real effort — and some real patience."

"Commissioner Bratton is entirely right about training," de Blasio added.
"People want to see the tangible, they want to see results now. I understand that impulse, but I guarantee you, systematic retraining will have a huge impact."
He said the retraining will "help us to draw the police closer to the community, and the community closer to the police."
Most of de Blasio's top deputies attended, underscoring the symbolic and substantive importance he attached to the gathering. They included First Deputy Mayor Anthony Shorris, Deputy Mayor Lilliam Barrios-Paoli, Corporation Counsel Zachary Carter, Community Affairs Commissioner Marco Carrion, the first lady's chief of staff Rachel Noerdlinger and communications director Peter Ragone.
Sharpton's presence, meanwhile, highlighted his new status under the de Blasio administration, as someone who has the mayor's ear.
After nearly two hours, Sharpton and Bratton emerged voicing different interpretations of the meeting.
The civil rights leader wanted more, stressing the need for action as well as dialogue; the top cop described a "very productive dialogue."

Bilirubin UDP-glucuronyl transferase (GT) activity in the liver and small intestine of ten patients was examined. In five of the ten patients, GT activity was examined systematically in various tissues including the liver, kidney, spleen, stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and ascending and sigmoid colon. GT activity was detected not only in the liver but also in the small intestinal mucosa, especially in the jejunum. No detectable activity was found in the other tissues examined. The enzyme kinetics indicated that the GT in the liver and the GT in the small intestine were the same enzyme. GT activity in both the liver and small intestine was more effectively activated with the cationic detergent cetyltrimethylammonium bromide than digitonin, that has usually been employed. This activation was not affected by jaundice. Small intestinal GT activity in the five patients with hepatocellular jaundice was generally higher than that in the two patients with obstructive jaundice and the three nonicteric patients. | {

Survey finds 60% of Palestinians satisfied with Abbas.
Fifty-eight percent of Palestinians expect a third intifada if the peace talks with Israel fail, a poll published on Wednesday showed.
The Palestinian Center for Public Opinion conducted the survey, which covered a random sample of 1,110 Palestinians representing a demographic sample of adults in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip. It has a margin of error of 2.9 percentage points.
Fifty percent of Palestinians support the resumption of the peace negotiations with Israel, while 39% oppose it, the survey showed.
Asked how an agreement with Israel should be ratified, 46% said that it should be approved through a referendum, while 25% said that a decision by the Palestinian Authority would be sufficient.
When asked whether they anticipate the outbreak of a third intifada in case the peace process ended in failure, 58% replied in the affirmative, while 26% said they did not expect violence.
Asked what rating they would give the performance of PA President Mahmoud Abbas in managing the talks with Israel, on a scale from 1 to 10, the average rating Palestinians gave was 6.
More than 60% of respondents said they were satisfied with the way Abbas was dealing with his post.
Also on Wednesday, Nimer Hammad, political adviser to Abbas, said that if the current peace talks fail, the result would be a one-state solution such as the one that existed in South Africa. | {

Q: IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid Argument with clock() being passed in I have not had much luck hunting for finding a good explanation of what invalid argument errors are and what would cause them.
My current sample I am working with is
import sys
mylog="mylog.log"
sys.stdout = open(mylog,'w')
#lots of code
#.
#.
#.
#End of lots of code
from time import clock
print "blablabla",clock()
I receive an IOError Invalid Argument error on the clock line. I have also tried
print "blablabla\t%s"%clock()
Any information about this error would be great help. Those lines work perfectly fine on short runs, it just after running the code for a while it breaks. I have tried to setting the buffer size to something low like 45-100 lines.
A: I can't reproduce this exact problem on my own computer, so I can't give specific advice, but here is some general commentary on how to debug this sort of thing.
When you see "Invalid argument" in an IOError or OSError exception from python, that means the interpreter tried to make a system call, which failed and set errno to the code EINVAL. (Tangentially, python really shouldn't print the numeric values for errno codes - the symbolic names are standardized but the numbers aren't.) The first thing you need to do is find out which system call it was, and the easiest way to do that is run your program under the strace utility, like this:
$ strace -f -o strace.log python yourscript.py [arguments...]
Wait for it to fail, then search the file strace.log for "-1 E" (exactly that string). You will find something like this:
times({tms_utime=162, tms_stime=123, tms_cutime=0, tms_cstime=0}) = 1718279979
write(1, "2.85\n", 5) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
You then read the man page for the system call that failed ("man 2 write" in this case) and look for the errno code name (EINVAL in this case), and see what it says has gone wrong.
In this case I strongly suspect you have found a bug in either the Python interpreter or the operating system. "Invalid argument" means what it says - one of the input arguments to the system call had an invalid value. You're not doing anything tricky in your script, so either the interpreter is messing up its system calls, or the kernel misunderstood what the interpreter wanted.

Members of the Armed Forces can benefit from these provisions.
Serving in the military involves sacrifices that most Americans never make. In recognition of their services, members of the Armed Forces get some valuable tax breaks that make the money they earn go further. Below are three key provisions that military members and their families can use to get some much-needed tax relief.
The biggest tax break for active-duty military members is the tax exemption for combat pay. You can exclude your pay from income if you serve in a combat zone as defined by the President or in a qualified hazardous duty area designated by Congress while receiving hostile-fire pay or imminent-danger pay. In addition, those who serve outside those areas can nevertheless exclude their pay if the Department of Defense certifies that their service is in direct support of combat-zone military operations and receives hostile-fire or imminent-danger pay.
The exclusion is on a month-by-month basis, and any qualifying service during a month allows you to take the exemption for the entire month. Also, if you're hospitalized as a result of combat-zone service, then you'll still be eligible for the exemption even if the hospital is outside the zone.
There's a maximum amount for the exclusion, depending on your rank. Enlisted personnel can deduct their entire pay, but commissioned officers are limited to the highest rate of enlisted pay plus imminent danger or hostile fire pay. The military should calculate the appropriate amount on your Form W-2.
The downside of the combat pay exclusion is that ordinarily, it might reduce the amount you'd be able to take for certain favorable tax provisions like the Earned Income Tax Credit. However, military personnel are allowed to treat their excluded combat pay as earned income for purposes of the credit while still keeping it out of their taxable income.
For instance, say you're married and the only working person in your family, and you served in a combat zone all year. You ordinarily wouldn't be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit at all because you'd have no taxable income. However, treating your combat pay as earned income could give you a credit. If you served in a combat zone, it's worth taking a look to see if this provision could help you.
Finally, many military personnel have to move from base to base repeatedly over the course of their careers. If you're stationed in a state that charges high state income taxes, having to file their can cost you thousands of dollars.
Military personnel have historically been able to declare a state of legal residence that is considered their resident state for purposes of paying state income tax. However, spouses of military personnel weren't always entitled to that same protection. In 2009, the Military Spouse Residency Relief Act made it possible for the nonmilitary spouse of a military member to be treated as a resident of the same state as the military member, regardless of the state in which the spouse lives.
In many cases, the nonmilitary spouse will have to file a state tax return to get a refund of any state income tax withheld. However, the spouse is entitled to that tax savings, so it's worth the effort to do so.
These tax breaks make the burden on military families a little bit easier to bear. Knowing that these tax breaks are out there is crucial to make sure that you accept the honor that lawmakers have given members of the military in exchange for their service. | {

Q: How to find the volume bounded by $z=x^{2}$ and $y=x^{2}$, and $z=0$ and $y=4$? I need to find the volume for a solid which is bounded with these two cylinders $z=x^{2}$ and $y=x^{2}$, and the planes $z=0$ and $y=4$.
First, I have plotted $z=x^{2}$ and $y=x^{2}$:
$z=x^{2}$:
$y=x^{2}$:
But they don't form a cylinder; they are parabolas in space.
Am I wrong? Or the problem specification is incorrectly written up?
UPDATE:
Now I know that $z=x^{2}$ and $y=x^{2}$ are called cylinders.
But I don't how to find the region to be integrated.
So far, I have drawn the other equations (i.e., $z=0$ and $y=4$):
$z=0$:
$y=0$:

A Trip to Ooty – Part 1 – Flawed, Cracked… But Rare!
Arrrgh… ok… lemme kick-start the machinery again. And what better way than to try and remember a recent trip I had to Ooty. Yeah, it wasn't that great and I don't recall much.
Either all the movies are shot in an Ooty that's totally different from the one I saw or something is wrong with my onscreen and off-screen perception of places.
Yes, it was green and misty and foggy and whatnot… but it was also too wet and too crowded for me to like the place. And mind you… we had gone when it was supposed to be off-season. I shudder to think of how the place would be during peak season when everyone would be Ootying.
To that existing crowd we added a good 18 more people. Oh yeah! When we travel, we travel khandaan in tow! In a Sutlej 30-seater coach. With luggage that most families pack for a month. For 3 days.
Oh… by the way, when I said 'without clothes'… I didn't mean nekkid… I meant I had clothes only for a week and they were all "Dry Clean Only" which meant that I had to buy more stuff!^^ So, I was clothed… just not happy wearing clothes bought with money meant for books. ^^Dry cleaning in Kerala takes donkey years!
Around two weeks prior to the trip my cousin sis and I were trying to work out an itinerary to fit in all possible touristy spots into a period of 3 days. This resulted in the two of us doing a virtual tour of Ooty and its surroundings all the way to Mudumalai sanctuary to one side and Kotagiri to the other. Google Earth and Google Maps helped us a lot… but the weathermen did not. To decide whether we needed to pack our winter-wear and how many warm clothes to pack, we tried to find a reliable weather forecast for Ooty. When the packing started, the weather was forecasted to be a sultry, humid average of 25°C with thunderstorms… which made us (sorry, Just me) wonder if I weren't better off huddling under the blanket in the house in Kochi which was a cool 22-23°C. A week later the weather was forecasted to be a chilling 10°C – 14°C, so I panicked and rang up mom to ask her to get me my coat, but she was travelling to Bangkok before flying down to Kochi and so no coat for me. With 4 days to the trip, the weather was supposed to be a tolerable average of 23°C and I was glad I wouldn't need to carry my coat.
We set out late one night in the last week of August, with the neighbors believing we were shifting for good, to Mettupalayam in the Sutlej. The Bangkok trippers (my uncle & aunt from Kuwait and mom & papa) had all reached Kochi on the day of the Ooty trip with just 5 hours to repack. Bade-papa'splace was turned upside down with all of us packing and re-packing, and with badi-maa in the kitchen preparing food for all of us and to be carried to Ooty (Apparently, people in Ooty survive on pure, cool and clean air and nothing else) the house was quite a mess. The smallest bag I could find was my cabin suitcase and I threw in a pair of jeans and 3 tops for the three days we would be in Ooty, along with my bare essentials, a Gatsby cap and a woollen scarf (my only protection from the anticipated chill)… oh and a pair of sneakers which I had bought for the trip because the only other footwear I had was a pair of 4 inch wedges. I had hunted low and wide for a decent camera to take along but in the end settled for my trusty Galaxy S2… also, uncle was going to get his Canon Rebel T2i.
We were all packed and ready by half past ten in the night… even the two little ones. The living room was a sea of baggage, some of which included pillows and blankets. Don't even think of asking me why! One corner was cordoned off for food items… snacks for the bus, idli and dry-chutney and bread-jam for breakfast, an electric kettle along with sugar, coffee and tea sachets… for all the people in the group who cannot start their day without a cup of tea / coffee and a few morsels in their tummy. And a newspaper… to aid a certain someone in certain early morning necessary deeds. A man has got to stimulate his brain for perfect motions!!
The Sutlej mini-coach with its awkward size (nothing mini about a 30 seater) could not manoeuvre itself through the steep and narrow lane to our house to pick us all up. It was expecting too much of us to think we'd have carried the luggage to the bus. So, jiju did a few shuttle-trips with his Swift to the bus and back for the luggage and the lazy ones among us. The rest of us walked to the bus which contrary to what you might have thought was parked a mere 200 meters away.
As expected from a luxury bus of its kind, the Sutlej was roomy and nice… and sparkling clean, smelled fresh and had all the usual stuff expected from these buses – fully reclinable seats, bone chilling AC, loud speaker system and the video-screen. The bus has a 2 + 1 arrangement of seats… and I chose one of the single seats at the back which had the largest window uninterrupted by the window-partitions. The seats had this slight forward tilt and it resulted in me sliding off to the seat edge many a time… I was saved from falling off because I have relatively long legs (I'd like to think so). The shorter ones on other seats had their bums sliding completely off the seat… so much for extra legroom!
I was hoping to go to sleep as soon as I got in to the bus… evidently, that did not happen… I was wide awake the whole time. We had to make two en-route stops to pick up two (more) families of our relatives… in all we were 6 families plus or minus a few 'kids' being away on the account of not being in the country / no leave. I started getting a bit drowsy after crossing the Kerala border in to Tamil Nadu. By then it was early morning, and we had been in the bus for over 6 hours… we had to reach Mettupalayam station before 7:00 AM.
The meter-gauge, steam powered train (which I like to call the 'Toy Train') would take us to Ooty from Mettupalayam and it was scheduled to leave at 7:00 AM for a 5 hour journey to Ooty Station. We reached Mettupalayam at around 5:30 AM and then freshened up at the station, had nice filter-kaapiand breakfast at the railway canteen. Maybe because I was hungry… the wada-sambhar I had was yummy. I even got papa to buy me a pack of some fried savoury snack – fried corn tubes which could be worn on the fingers and also a few lollipops.
The train sans its engine was already waiting for us. We found our non-first-class seats in the middle compartment. The first one was the first class compartment which should have been booked as early as 6 months prior unlike us who booked it 3 weeks prior. Our tickets cost a mere 23 bucks per seat… I almost fell off laughing when I saw the ticket prices. BEST charges me more for a trip from Vashi to Chembur!! Someone told me that the first class tickets were 230 bucks per head… that too is quite measly. But then, the train was hardly what I had expected. It was worse than a state transport run ordinary bus… and the first class was a notch above, perhaps comparable to a BEST ordinary bus. The train's exterior was blue and yellow… bright and sunny! Here I was expecting polished wood interiors and the lingering memories of a vintage era… and what I got was the dirty sky-blue painted box of tin with grey Rexine seats. I am sure there were lingering memories of the earlier passengers but I did not check. I was glad we did not have to carry the mountain of luggage that we had brought from home in the train. Our nice and comfy bus was supposed to meet us at Ooty with our luggage.
For a moment I did think I would have been better off getting to Ooty in that bus… not to mention I would surely beat the train in speed. Of course, experiencing the toy-train was part of the Ooty deal and I wasn't really gonna let go of that 'opportunity'.
Our compartment felt like it had sold of a few tickets more than it had seats and except for the seats which our group had booked, the others were quite crammed. We had the advantage of 4 kids (if that can be called an advantage) and then we also had two extra tickets because my brother and one of my cousins could not get leave for the trip. For all the leg room the bus provided, the train seats were stacked almost on top of each other. The seat in front of mine cut in to my knees. I silently thanked my stars for not making them seats reclinable.
The steam engine chugged along and joined the three compartments and finally it was time for us to leave the station… and unlike Bombay's local trains, if you were to adjust your clock according to this train's timing then you'd be eating only dessert at most of your dinner appointments.
Thanks for sharing this with us! Ooty is the ideal hill station for tourists to visit on any Tour to Tamil Nadu.

Sow bug control in the garden is a tricky process, as the bugs like moisture and gardens cannot exist without water. Good cultural practices can help reduce sow bugs in the garden, as well as other, more destructive bugs that damage crops.
Sow bug control begins with cleaning up debris in the garden. Rake up and remove dead plant matter, bricks, wooden planks and anything that gives sow bugs in the garden a protected place to hide. Pay particular attention to debris near or against the foundation, as this is often a spot that holds moisture. Eliminate sow bugs near the foundation to stop them from entering your home through cracks and crevices. Problem openings in foundations should be sealed.
Chemicals are not necessary to eliminate sow bugs. While sow bugs in the garden will occasionally feed on tender plant material, they do not bite and are not dangerous to people. Once moisture is no longer a factor, killing sow bugs with other methods is not necessary.
Sow bugs in the garden may be removed by hand, although many of the roly poly creatures will move on their own once debris is removed. If you have a worm bed for vermicomposting, the sow bugs can be moved there, or to the compost pilewhere they are actually helpful. Sow bugs help break down organic material and this is a better solution than killing sow bugs.
Sow bug control near new and emerging seedlings may be accomplished with small amounts of diatomaceous earth around the plants. This keeps sow bugs in the garden away from growing plants.
Sow bug control can also be accomplished by placing a cantaloupe open side down to lure the sow bugs away from other areas. This can then be moved to the compost pile as a means of sow bug control. Alternatively, fruit dropped from trees and left rotting on the ground should be removed so as not to attract sow bugs in the garden and orchard areas. | {

Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968 a review by Roy Peak
Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968
By Ryan Walsh
Review by Roy Peak
When I was quite a bit younger and living in my first apartment I had a Sunday morning ritual. I would clean house while listening to two albums: Bob Dylan's John Wesley Harding and Van Morrison's Astral Weeks. This went on for a number of years, eventually shifting to Monday when that became my one regular day off.
For some reason, in my mind, these two albums complemented one another. They were both completed within a year of each other—one by one of America's most important songwriters, the other by Ireland's latest in a long line of poet-mystics. Both of these albums had a similar sound to them. A trifle flat-sounding, not much in the way of studio trickery in either of these, which is interesting since they both came from an era where many bands were going nuts with multi-tracking and psychedelic ambience. Both of these albums were rather sparse in instrumentation, yet full of meaning and potence. Lots of words backed by mostly acoustic instruments. These songs weren't country, nor actual folk music, but still very rock 'n' roll in their approach—albeit a severely mutated and on the loose version of rock 'n' roll, which seemed to almost come from an alternate universe where Elvis, the Beatles, and electric guitars didn't exist. Also interesting is the fact that both of these albums were crafted after their respective artists had gone through great turmoil. Dylan was recovering from a serious motorcycle accident, while Morrison was trying to restart his career after getting out from under a heinous recording contract with mob ties which had left him broke and stuck in the states. He was living in Boston for a short time before he recorded Astral Weeks, writing the songs and working with the varied musicians who would influence the sound on that album. This is where writer and musician Ryan Walsh—a most definite Astral Weeks fan—decided to use that information as a jumping off point for a book that is chock full of intriguing anecdotes about the Boston music scene in the late 1960s.
Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968 references and ties together such amazing stories such as the discovery of LSD, the filming of The Thomas Crown Affair, the Velvet Underground's residency at the Boston Tea Party concert hall, Mel Lyman and his cult of acid-crazed non-hippies, a television show which was decades ahead of its time, and Walsh's own search for the lost tapes of Morrison and his band as they worked out the intricacies of the songs that would make up Astral Weeks as well as several of Morrison's later albums.
Walsh has done his homework here as every account is well researched and he interviewed everyone who would talk to him about events that occurred fifty years ago, including such Boston luminaries as Jonathan Richman, Peter Wolf, David Silver, Morrison's former girlfriend—Janet Planet, Morrison's former Boston-based band members, and even one of the mobsters who was holding Morrison's contract hostage—who explains to Walsh that the real reason Morrison left New York to hide out in Boston was "because I broke his guitar on his head."
We get unbelievable and obscure details in this book: Did you know that Chevy Chase played in prog-rock bands in Boston before becoming a comedian? Or that the city of Boston televised a James Brown concert in the hope it would stave off any potential riots the day after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr? What about the fact that a sixteen-year-old Jonathan Richman hung out with Lou Reed so much that he began to talk just like him, which apparently irritated Reed to no end. We get interesting tid-bits about the mystical side of Boston: spiritual photography, the popularity of planchettes. Is it a mere coincidence that both Van Morrison and Jonathan Richman wrote songs with the word "astral" in the title, or was there a spiritual reason, involving the town of Boston which inspired them both?
This is a hard to put down tome of information from first-time author Walsh, full of dizzying stories and wild anecdotes, which never fails to intrigue. Part detective story, part celebration of all things Bostonian, part wild ride through a wild time in America's history.
Walsh, when you're done with the book tour for this one, do me a favor and start working on 1967: A Secret History of Bob Dylan's John Wesley Harding. If there's a story there, you can find it, and I'm dying to read it.

Meet 'Evie' the mobile greenhouse at Earth Day Texas 2017
The SMU Hunt Institute's converted camping trailer to provide children's activities at Fair Park environmental celebration
Meet 'Evie' The Mobile Greenhouse
DALLAS (SMU) – Students at SMU's Hunt Institute have transformed an old camping trailer into an experimental mobile greenhouse that will be introduced at Earth Day TX 2017 in Fair Park in Dallas on April 21-23.
Nicknamed "Evie," the converted Shasta camping trailer has been redesigned to grow food, allowing students to research the problem of food deserts – the lack of fresh produce and healthier food options, usually affecting lower-income communities. "Evie" will host an activity for children Saturday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to noon and from 1-3 p.m. at SMU Booth No. 723, and participating kids will take home their own plant.
Here's how Evie came to be: SMU students studying the problems associated with food deserts were challenged to build a low-cost, energy independent, environmentally friendly and economically viable space to grow healthy food. During the planning and design phases, students agreed on a mobile concept, recognizing that families who live in food deserts often rent their homes and lack access to a conventional garden. The mobile design also will help with moving Evie from location to location to enhance the project's food distribution and educational mission.
The student-led project is an evolution of the Hunt Institute's Greenhouse for Good research project that began in 2016. Housed in the SMU Lyle School of Engineering, the Hunt Institute is uniquely charged with researching and implementing innovative and sustainable solutions to local and global poverty. The Hunt Institute's Sustainable Food Systems Program is focused on food-related issues and on fostering related innovations in close cooperation with community partners and a multidisciplinary group of students, faculty and practitioner collaborators.
"Food insecurity is a crippling experience that families face every day," said Dr. Eva Csaky, Director of the Hunt Institute. "Even in American cities, some communities have limited or no access to healthy food options, which can lead to health and social consequences down the line. Evie embodies the kind of innovative solutions the Hunt Institute is aiming to foster—approaches that do not only address the needs faced by the community but also have the potential to simultaneously create entrepreneurship and job opportunities in the same communities.
"Evie also embodies the Institute's interdisciplinary approach to pressing humanitarian problems, a practice that we hope students will carry with them far beyond their college years," Csakey said, noting that SMU students in engineering, communication studies, international studies, business, art and advertising programs have worked on the Evie project.
The Hunt Institute is partnering with the State Fair of Texas' Big Tex Urban Farms to exhibit and provide a home base for Evie after Earth Day Texas at Fair Park, side-by-side with raised beds built by the State Fair, which donates its produce to various non-profit groups.
About the Hunt Institute
The mission of the Hunter & Stephanie Hunt Institute for Engineering & Humanity is to develop and scale sustainable and affordable technologies and solutions addressing the challenges of the global poor; improve the standard of living of the world's impoverished communities; foster market-based mechanisms that create sustainable livelihood opportunities that respect the dignity of individuals and communities; serve as a convening platform for business, academic, NGOs and governmental organizations, as well as a national and international hub for relevant programs. The Hunt Institute is the home of the James Pratt Collection, the Hunt Institutes Salon, the Hunt Institute Elders, and HUNTALKS. More information at Hunt Institute.

Given the fact that acquisition transactions are based on a multiple of some financial measurement (i.e. EBIT, EBITDA, etc.), today, investors, whether strategic or financial, and financial institutions are required to perform a considerable amount of due diligence before they execute a financial transaction. Furthermore, it is imperative for you to look at the operational and strategic elements of the target as well as the more common areas such as strength of the balance sheet and quality of the target's earnings. As you know, transactions today are more complex than in the past due to sheer size, geography (cross-border) and regulation.

You've probably seen or heard this term used, but do you know what it means? HEPA stands for "high-efficiency particulate air" or "high-efficiency particulate arrestance". HEPA filtration systems are manufactured and certified to capture at least 99.97% of .3-micron (.000012" or 300x smaller than the diameter of human hair) particles from the air that goes through the system. Dust, pollen, mites and other contaminants can all be captured, greatly increasing your home's indoor air quality.
MERV is a shortened version of "minimum efficiency reporting value" or put in easier terms, it tells you the effectiveness of your air filter. MERV ratings can be anywhere from 1-16 with the higher rating eliminating more contaminants and allergens without inhibiting the airflow of your home comfort system. We can work with you to decide on a filter with a MERV rating that will work best for your needs.
We breathe on average 11,000 liters of air a day. We want to help you realize the importance of indoor air quality and help ensure the air in your home is good for your health. If you have any questions or concerns related to your home comfort systems give us a call at 715-504-0533 to set up an appointment with us. | {

Adoption of open source business intelligence software has been doubling every year because it's "good enough" for routine applications.
Mitch Betts of Computer World has the story.
According to Betts, Gartner Inc. analyst Andreas Bitterer has published a report showing that while commercial vendors still have superior BI technology, Bitterer wrote that "open source is slowly becoming just another sourcing option for everyday BI requirements."
And not only is open source no longer limited to cash-strapped organizations, Betts reports that according to Bitterer open source BI tools are "going mainstream." | {

REVIEW: Funtington Music Group's Christmas Concert
Funtington Music Group's Christmas Concert at the University of Chichester was in complete contrast to previous years.
Laura Ritchie
For a start it was a free extra concert in the annual membership programme, but with the expectation that it would be a fund-raising event for the University's Music Department's John Speir Musical Instrument Library. So what better musicians to perform than the Head of Music at the University, Ben Hall, and Laura Ritchie, Professor of Learning and Teaching, also from the University.
Their first piece was Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata for Piano [Ben Hall] and Cello [Laura Ritchie]. This is one of the most celebrated of Schubert's later life cello compositions, and both musicians enraptured the audience in a brilliant aural experience of lyricism and tranquillity. In their rendition of the Finale the duo most effectively captured the kaleidoscopic range of emotions that this piece demanded.
Ben Hall then played, as a solo on the Chapel organ, two linked pieces, one by Maurice Durufle, followed by Litanies from Trois Pieces by French composer Jehan Alain, who was so tragically killed by the Nazis when he was only 29. Ben Hall had set up cameras which showed both the organ keyboard and the pedals, which proved to be a welcome addition for the audience who were able more easily to appreciate the intricacies and skills required of the organist.
The concert concluded with a return to the piano and cello. After playing works by Borowski and Bruch, the duo concluded their programme by playing Hungarian Rhapsody by David Popper, a piece that challenges any musician. Laura Ritchie played this with a warmth of tone, and agile finger work, which aptly demonstrated her talent. The sympathetic piano accompaniment, provided by Ben Hall, matched her in both skill and brilliance throughout the piece.
David Tinsley, Chairman of the Funtington Music Group, thanked the two musicians, saying, "It is such a privilege for FMG to have Ben Hall as President and Laura Ritchie as our University Link, both sitting on our Committee and willing to give up their time for free to give us this fabulous concert. We are very privileged."
Finally, when the donations for the Musical Instrument Library had been added up, David Tinsley was able to confirm that, with Gift Aid, enough had been raised on the night to purchase a viola to complete the set of instruments for a string quartet. This announcement resulted in huge applause from the audience, who had already given such an enthusiastic reception to the two musicians.
Further details of the Funtington Music Group can be obtained from the Membership Secretary, Mrs Elizabeth Brooks, on 01243 378900.

Lăutari zijn Roma-muzikanten. Zij spelen een belangrijke rol in de landelijke Roemeense cultuur. Zij maken muziek bij sociale gelegenheden op het platteland, vooral huwelijksvieringen die typisch van zaterdagmiddag tot maandagmiddag duren.
Lăutari leven over het algemeen op het platteland en zijn, tot op zekere hoogte, boeren. Als muzikanten zijn zij losjes in groepen georganiseerd. Zo'n groep wordt een taraf genoemd. Een taraf bestaat vaak grotendeels uit mannen van een familie. Er zijn weliswaar vrouwelijke Lăutari, meestal vocalisten, maar zij worden in aantal ruimschoots overtroffen door de mannen. Elke taraf wordt geleid door een primaș, de primaire solist.
De muziek van de Lăutari zorgt voor de structuur in de uitgebreide Roemeense huwelijken op het platteland. Verder zijn de Lăutari een bron van vermaak tijdens de rustigere delen van de huwelijksceremonie, niet alleen met muziek, maar ook met magische trucs, verhalen, etc. De Lăutari leiden daarnaast de plechtigheid in goede banen door onder meer conflicten te sussen die gedurende het lange feest, waarbij veel alcohol genuttigd wordt, ontstaan.
Volgens gebruiken, die vrijwel zeker teruggaan naar de Middeleeuwen, besteden de meeste Lăutari het geld dat ze verdienen tijdens deze huwelijksceremonies vrijwel meteen aan uitgebreide banketten voor hun vrienden en families. Meestal gebeurt dit in de dagen volgend op de bruiloft.
Sinds de vroege negentiende eeuw, en vooral in de dagen vóór er geluidsopnamen mogelijk waren, zorgden de Lăutari voor het behoud van verschillende Roemeense muziekgenres die anders verloren waren gegaan. Deze muziekgenres stamden overigens niet alleen van zigeuners af. Het grootste deel van hun liederen zijn lyrische gedichten in het Roemeens, maar sommige zijn in het geheel of gedeeltelijk in het Romani, een taal specifiek voor zigeuners.

NZRU swings governance of Highlanders
Notice the DCC connection…bloody hell, what did I say about DCC having its own rugby franchise. Sick dogs.
### Channel 9 News July 1, 2009 – 6:50pm
Highlander's board to be restructured
The Highlander's Board is to be restructured, following a review by the New Zealand Rugby Football Union. The ORFU board will now consist of three Independent Directors appointed by the NZRU, one Independent Director appointed by the Dunedin City Council, and three Directors to be appointed by the Provincial Unions within the Highlanders region. NZRU CEO Steve Tew says the changes should assist both organisations improve the on-and-off-field performance of the Highlanders, and ensure that the Franchise is operating in a sustainable way. The new board structure is to be regarded as a transition Board for the next two years.

NZRU come to Highlanders rescue
Source: NZPA
The Highlanders franchise has agreed to change its governance and operation, which will include assistance and greater involvement from the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU). The NZRU will underwrite the financial performance of the Highlanders for the next two financial years.

New structure for Highlanders
A new-look board will be required to assess existing business strategies at the franchise and adopt a recovery plan. The NZRU reserved the right to appoint a chairman at any time. The Highlanders have been the least-successful New Zealand franchise in recent years.
Wed, 01/07/2009 – 8:52pm.
Comment by russandbev on But how about telling us the whole story?
Some amazing elements to this story which have not yet reached the light of day…Not many would know that The Trusts Charitable Foundation Inc granted the ORFU a sum of $888,577.49 between the 1st April last year and the 31st March of this year. This grant was the single biggest grant that this interesting pub charity granted this last financial year and carried on its support for rugby activities in this city. Cont/

Comment by gplusa on Flogging a dead horse
First we had to buy a new football stadium in order to keep the rugby team. Then we had to buy the old stadium in order to pay off the rugby team's debts. Now we are having to buy the team itself. Does this sound a bit like Chrysler and General Motors? Propping up a false economy is only delaying its demise. Doing it with public money is downright irresponsible.
Highlanders get bailout
By Marc Hinton
The NZRU say the package agreed "reflects our commitment to rugby south of the Waitaki". It also takes into account the dire situation the southerners have found themselves in.
NZRU's Steve Tew said the Highlanders franchise "has quickly become the runt of the New Zealand rugby litter"…

DCC to get role on Highlanders board
By Hayden Meikle
Dunedin City Council chief executive Jim Harland says it is "entirely appropriate" the council will appoint a director to a new-look Highlanders rugby board.
Rugby: McLauchlan defends Highlanders board
The Highlanders chairman Stuart McLauchlan is confident he will keep his job despite the looming changes to the franchise's board. McLauchlan was defiant yesterday when asked to comment on his own future and the performance of a board that has essentially been taken over by the New Zealand Rugby Union.
In December 2008 the University Council elected Dunedin accountant Stuart McLauchlan as its new Pro-Chancellor. The role of the Pro-Chancellor includes chairing the University Council in the Chancellor's absence and serving on committees on behalf of the Chancellor. Mr McLauchlan has been a member of the University Council since 2004. He is a member of the Investment Committee, the Finance and Budget Committee and Chair of the Audit Committee. He is also a Director of the University of Otago Foundation Studies.
Mr McLauchlan began his new role in January 2009.

The ORFU – DCC relationship just gets more and more incestuous.
We've got DCC funnelling ratepayers' money to the ORFU via Delta's corporate box. (what benefit do ratepayers get from a corporate box?)
DCC becoming a personal banker and giving out loans – don't bother applying though – it's just a few more million for the ORFU.
DCC borrows money to buy Carisbrook for millions more that it's worth, so the ORFU can pay them back, pay off their bank loan, and pocket a cool million extra.
Have a look at positions on Council, CST and ORFU and Highlanders – there's a lot of intermingling going on, and very few people excusing themselves for conflicts of interest.
And now the big payback for millions of dollars of ratepayers money? DCC gets a board member on the Highlanders.
Ratepayers are regarded by those directing the whole sham as nothing more than slaves to rugby – pay up for our rugby mates or we'll take your house.
How is this different to theft?
It would be naive to suggest that there was no financial offer made from the DCC as part of this deal. Be it in the form of a direct financial injection, or in the form of venue hire subsidy for Carisbrook ( i.e. FREE ). The term of the new board expires prior to the new stadium being available. The new board is being formed to take financial control of the franchise. All the parties on the board are those with a direct financial interest in the board. You don't get on the board for free. If that was the case then there are people out there more capable of managing a football team than a council group manager.
Holly crap there is some plain insanity out there tonight.
Phil – no we haven't bought the team – wtf.
How many conspiracy theories are going to stem from this one – seemingly dozens.
David if DELTA want to own a corporate box that is their business, take it up with the board there. But considering so many business deals are done in and around the corporate boxes of stadia, this in itself isn't a bad move – and one quite possibly repeated the length and breadth of the country.
For all of your obvious casual rugby followers, this is a move that will actually bring back better RUGBY governance back to the highlanders, and a move greeted well by most in the rugby communities about the country.
Paul says – "David if DELTA want to own a corporate box that is their business"
As we are their shareholders, and they are required to make decisions that are in the best interests of their shareholders – then it's our business as well.
How do their shareholders benefit from the decision to buy a corporate box?
The answer is they're only one cog in the plan to funnel as much ratepayers money as possible into the ORFU.
David, you get along to a shareholder meeting and you tell them your concerns. As for benefits of a corporate box, why don't you ask some with them, I have and I know for a fact, it's a deal closer, it's a people introducer, it's all manner of things that (if you want to use an old phrase) the old boys network need to operate. Sorry if you don't see the value of this, there are plenty of businesses that wouldn't be without one for the very simple reason that deals are done over the informality of the corporate box and a schmoozed beer and food, that simply isn't conducted inside the boring board room (any guesses why they call it the bored room?). It's exceedingly great if you want to host overseas guests, they love NZ rugby (despite what the locals think of the sport), and yes I KNOW of many a business deal that has been sealed with a sporting spectacle. They see value in it – even if the shareholder doesn't.
THE PLAN IS NOT TO FUNNEL TAXPAYER MONEY INTO THE ORFU.
There is a smoking man with a secret that needs to be exposed, and only Mulder and Scully can get to this secret…
"You're travelling through another dimension — a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's a signpost up ahead: your next stop: the Twilight Zone!"
Conspiracy theory wrapped in silly argument does not make for genuine discourse on the construction of the stadium. But then that is the experience that this site has demonstrated.
There's a section within the sociological text, An Invitation to Sociology by P Berger (1963 p 115 Penguin Books) that stunningly sums up my experience with this stadium experience and this blog.
"Even very intelligent people, when faced with doubt about their roles in society, will involve themselves even more in the doubted activity rather than withdraw into reflection".
People come to this blog with good intentions, preconceptions, misconceptions, great knowledge – whatever, but more often than not the end result isn't a series of conversations in which folk concede or change positions, but rather opinions and preconceptions are entrenched further.
I am the perfect example of this, for the start (if you read the very first few posts), I was for the stadium as a concept but against the stadium as it was in drawings. I was also very very keen to see more private money involved, but through a series of arguments and fights, rather than concede, I have entrenched the opinion that this is a good development. Perhaps it was the insane and the lunatic claims of terrorism and poo on the beach etc, or it may have been my distrust of career NIMBY's (how do they come out of the woodwork), or it may be for the very fact that people like David have thrown up every possible reason why this stadium shouldn't go ahead.
I'd actually love to meet the 1 person who may have changed their mind pro or anti about the stadium as a result of reading this blog, it would be a fascinating meeting.
For I have never been privy to anyone who publicly has stated on this blog that they have changed their mind. I could hardly imagine "the Watcher" changing opinions, even if his/her observations are more than likely wrong and the sky isn't falling.
Ah – so ratepayers get good value from Delta having a corporate box because they do big foreign deals there (in their drunken messy corporate box? That's funny).
Paul – you talk about nobody changing position.
I've offered to swap to your side many times.
All you have to do is give me a sound logical financial arguement of why it's a good idea.
You've never been able to do this. Ever.
This tells me that you yourself are backing spending $200m, on something that you don't really have any idea of if it makes real financial sense or not.
Elizabeth – I laughed this morning when I spotted that as well "The Highlanders are going nowhere".
I suppose he is doing nothing more than stating the obvious.
The problem is the stadium will live or die on the success of a group that has been slowly dying for the last few years.
If I was going to take a big punt with $200m, I'd only do it on a winning team.
This council seems to want to punt the whole lot (of our money) on an old nag.
The biggest problem that the new board faces is time. 24 months is simply not enough to turn around the public support for a failing football team. The crowds for the first half of next season will be based on how the team fared last season. So there's a backward step for starters. If they perform better, the interest will be greater, and more people will watch the last 4 or 5 home games. If the result is the same at the end of year one, then the opportunity for significant improvement in the franchise is lost. The new board should have been given a minimum of 5 years, in my opinion.
The NZRFU have to take a large amount of responsibility here for the current situation. The whole point of the Super rugby competition was that the best players in the country get spread equally around the country. The catalyst at the time was, ironically, Otago, who had the top 3 halfbacks in the country within their ranks. So that was the driver. Had that happened, then the NZ teams would be so evenly matched that we'd be on the edge of our season holder seats every week. But, as was inevitable, the top players chose to stay within their Super franchise, rather than returning to their home province at the end of the season. Aided by incentives from their franchise. And the NZRFU did nothing to stop the process.
How is that relevant ? Well, with the demise of the original "player sharing" scheme, we are stuck with the players we've got. And the record shows that the team is not good enough to draw the support it needs. There's not the money available to buy a Dan Carter, or a Richie McCaw. The top players needed to enhance a distinctly average team can earn much more over the course of a year in the other rugby money rich provinces. They don't come up in the draft. That's the reality of professional sport today. The glory days of a team full of home grown heroes are over. We've got a product that our target market doesn't want to buy. It's difficult to see how the giant progress required can be achieved in such a short time. I can't help but worry that this is a hospital pass thrown by the NZFU, just to show that they tried.
DCHL and its subsidiary companies don't actually have shareholders meetings. They are only obliged to report to the "shareholder", DCC twice yearly. There is no opportunity for the rank and file shareholders-citizens to make their opinions known. Such are the joys of local government democracy.
"Even very intelligent people, when faced with doubt about their roles in society, will involve themselves even more in the doubted activity rather than withdraw into reflection." Your quote.
Well, doesn't that just about fit equally to both sides of the debate? About par for the course for sociologists and shrinks. I am surprised Paul, that you would be suckered into this line of thinking. But as you say, you are a perfect example of this.
As a matter of interest, I would be very keen for you to enlighten us on a few of these so called business deals that you KNOW have been sealed with a sporting spectacle. I am sure you could, even if only to lend credence to your claim.

Notes on Stillness
20 Jul - 18 Aug 2019
Yavuz Gallery is pleased to present Notes on Stillness, Filipino artist Bree Jonson's first solo exhibition in Singapore.
Based in Manila, Jonson is known for her enigmatic works that convey the complex and darker tendencies present in the human condition through her allegorical paintings of animals in scenes of perpetual motion. Painting realistic dogs, cats, rabbits, wolves and unusual subjects such as sea urchins and anemones, Jonson presents these creatures in various quotidian entanglements that trigger familiar yet bizarre semblance to our own life experiences. By fleshing out primal instincts universal to both, she collapses the divide between animals and humanity, to question and challenge our relationship with nature.
In her latest exhibition, Notes on Stillness, Jonson continues her ruminations and keen observations on the human condition and the natural world. The exhibition brings together a diverse collection of new works that free flow between various topics inspired by the artist's personal affections, subconscious dreams and intellectual curiosities. Here, many of the animals presented are no longer in a brutal state of maniac flux, and instead appear to be in a moment of suspended rest and contemplation. In the painting Everything and Nothing, a pack of canines drink from a fissure in the ground, its streams washed into a blurred field of overlapping blacks and greens. A lone dog gazes out, stuck in the middle of drift ice in Ice Floes, its hazy scene melding into an half-erased sky of melancholic grey. In many of these new works, landscapes dissipate and devolve into abstraction, horizons and lines breaking and dripping into oblivion. Yet the humanly essence of Jonson's animal subjects becomes even more acute, more tangible.
As according to the artist, "stillness is ultimately about taking a step back, looking, feeling, absorbing". For in stillness, we break ourselves away from the flux and distractions of life, and return back to ourselves, our origins, and our shared humanity.

Although earning a college degree is widely considered a prerequisite for success, it's not always so. As evidenced by founders of companies like Apple, Oracle, Virgin, Microsoft, Dell, and—more recently—Facebook, you don't always need a college degree to succeed in business and life. In fact, all 10 of the most successful college-dropout CEOs on a list compiled by financial site Pinoymoneytalk.com also appear on its 2010 Richest People in the World list.
Many of those CEOs left institutes of formal education while on the brink of building some of the world's biggest business empires. For example, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard to start Microsoft; Michael Dell left the University of Texas to found Dell Computers and Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard to found Facebook. But others simply lacked the opportunity. Both Virgin Group's Sir Richard Branson and Inditex Group's Amancio Ortega, son of a railway worker, never went to college because they didn't finish high school, while Oracle founder Larry Ellison dropped out after the death of his adoptive mother's death.
Clearly, contrary to conventional wisdom, a degree may be useful, but it's not necessary. | {

NRL HISTORY
1999 Grand Final rewind
Kent Gray NRL.com Reporter
Fri 30 Nov 2018, 11:21 AM
"Bill Harrigan is about to make one of the biggest calls that's ever been made in 100 years of rugby league."
With just three minutes of the 1999 NRL grand final to play, legendary television commentator Ray Warren prefaced a decision from legendary whistle-blower Harrigan, via video referee Chris Ward, that will live forever for fans of the Melbourne Storm and St George Illawarra Dragons.
Down 14-0 at half-time and seemingly out of the decider, Melbourne clawed their way back to 18-14 down when halfback Brett Kimmorley hoofed a cross-field bomb in the direction of teammate Craig Smith in the dying minutes.
Smith duly gathered the missile only to be clobbered in an instantaneously infamous high shot from Dragons winger Jamie Ainscough, spilling the ball in the instant he was knocked out.
"The most historical grand final ever has had to be decided by, I repeat, the toughest refereeing decision I have seen a referee undergo," Warren said, ratcheting up the unbearable tension for viewers at home as Ward and Harrigan reviewed and re-reviewed the footage.
Looking back at the 1999 Grand Final
A penalty try was the only possible outcome. But it was not the end of the drama as Storm goal-kicker Smith was out cold from Ainscough's reactionary left hook around the throat, meaning five-eighth Matt Geyer landed the responsibility of converting the try from in front to seal Melbourne's first premiership in just their second season of existence.
"If you have a look at the footage, the kicking tee nearly goes as far as the ball... it was one of the worst kicks at goal you've ever seen!" Storm captain Glenn Lazarus joked later.
Geyer's conversion capped one of the great NRL grand final comebacks, unless of course you were a Dragons fan trying to comprehend how yet another premiership had slipped away.
It was particularly galling for traditional St George fans in what was the first season of their joint venture with the Illawarra Steelers: the Dragons had lost on their four previous visits to the grand final in 1985, 1992, 1993 and 1996, making their last premiership win in 1979 seem an eternity ago.
Everything seemed to be falling St George Illawarra's way in front of a world record crowd of 107,999 fans at Stadium Australia, including an ill-fated Kimmorely chip-chase that Dragons flyer Nathan Blacklock swooped on at warp speed to race away, untouched, for a 70-metre try just before half-time.
But a bombed try from Dragons five-eighth Anthony Mundine 10 minutes after half-time, after 'The Man' had picked up the scraps of his own grubber kick following a collision between St George Illawarra centre Shaun Timmins and the ever-present Kimmorley, reinvigorated Melbourne.
The Chris Anderson-coached Storm, who had finished the regular season in third place, went on to win the second half 20-4 and became the quickest expansion team to win a premiership, eclipsing Canterbury who won the 1938 title in just their fourth season.

Melbourne went into the final yet to beat St George Illawarra and having lost to the Dragons 34-10 earlier in the 1999 finals series. The Storm needed a player to take the big show by the collar and at half-time, that man wasn't halfback Brett Kimmorley.
"To that point in my career the feeling I had walking off [at half-time] after chipping the ball to Blacklock was the worst I'd experienced," Kimmorley said of the mid-field chip-chase that the Dragons No.2 turned into a six-pointer to send St George Illawarra to the break 14-0 up.
But Kimmorley, roused by coach Chris Anderson in the sheds, refused to bow. The Storm playmaker went on to marshall Melbourne around Stadium Australia and put up the ultimately decisive bomb that led to the Craig Smith penalty try.
The toughest refereeing decision I have seen a referee undergo
Ray Warren on the penalty try
The 1999 grand final was Glenn Lazarus' 254th and final NRL appearance – and it was some way to bow out of the top-flight game as he captained Melbourne to glory. The win capped a remarkable achievement for the legendary Kangaroos and NSW prop who won five titles with three separate clubs – the others being Canberra (1989 and 1990) and Brisbane (1992 and 1993) and the Storm.
"This is just unbelievable. I mean, 14-0 down at half-time, it wasn't looking too good mate. But, ahh... this is meant to be," Lazarus said in the immediate aftermath of the 20-18 upset of the Dragons.
Play of the day
It could be argued that Chris Anderson's half-time speech was the most inspirational moment for Melbourne even if the Kimmorley-bomb, Ainscough-head high, Smith/Harrigan-penalty try was the defining moment for the Storm. But the hit Smith put on Anthony Mundine before half-time to deny the Storm five-eighth a try, coupled with a weaving run from Geyer to set up an out-stretched Tony Martin for Melbourne's first try after half-time, were critical moments.

The 'what if' moment
To this day, St George Illawarra fans insist the pass from Matt Geyer to send centre Tony Martin over for Melbourne's opening try in the 54th minute was forward, even if just a smidgeon. But Anthony Mundine's decision to go on his own after regathering his own grubber kick, with Dragons second-rower Darren Treacy unmarked outside him, was pivotal.
Had Mundine not fumbled over the line in the hit of Storm winger Craig Smith, or indeed had he passed to Treacy, it would have been 18-2 with a kick to come and most probably curtains for Melborne.
"The defining moment was certainly Mundine not scoring that try or not passing to his support runners," Brett Kimmorley told Nine Sport. "That probably puts the game out of reach."
Cue one of the most dramatic finishes to an NRL decider yet.

The quote
"Once Craig Smith catches the football you think it's going to be a try but then he has his head taken off and it's 'Did he score, did he not score?' and to have to wait for that decision was an agonisingly long time," Kimmorley recalled.
"It may have been five seconds but it felt like five minutes at least."
Recollections of a champion
"It was more relief for me," Storm halfback Kimmorley said of the full-time siren sounding.
"The first half had some bad feelings for me. It was my kick that (Nathan) Blacklock ran the length of the field on the back of... so you go into the sheds at half-time absolutely shattered thinking you've won them the game."
Scores had the Storm down 14-0 at the break.
"The first half is still something I haven't watched to this day. Chris (Anderson) our coach told us to relax in the second half and allow ourselves to play some football, which we did. We slowly worked our way back into the contest with a few big tackles early and then a try."
Kimmorley said the Craig Smith penalty-try was talked about a lot but in his eyes it was absolutely fair. That brought scores level at 18-18. Mark Geyer then kicked the penalty right in front.
"On the field it seemed to take an eternity that decision but in my mind there certainly was no doubt about it."
The following year the Storm reached the qualifying final again to make it three years in a row – or since their inception in 1998.
"We had a very successful three years. For me it was great to be amongst such a group of footballers. Winning the premiership was the highlight of my career," Kimmorley said.

Recollections of a runner-up
"Any time you lose a grand final it's a bad memory," Newcastle coach Nathan Brown, who lined up at hooker for the Dragons, told NRL.com.
"But along the way there are plenty of good memories. The road to it was really exciting. We obviously had a good year to get there so that's an achievement. But winning a grand final is the ultimate and unfortunately on that day it didn't unfold well for us."
Brown has one standout memory that still brings a smile to his face. "Nathan Blacklock scoring that try," he said of the 65-metre dash to score between the posts, after scooping up a Brett Kimmorley kick.
A new millennium
Melbourne went on to thump Super League champions St Helens 44-6 at JJB Stadium in Wigan in the 2000 World Club Challenge with Robbie Ross and Scott Hill each bagging a brace of tries. Kimmorley was man of the match.
The Storm finished the NRL minor premiership in sixth place with a 14 win, one draw, 11 loss record and were eliminated in the qualifying finals by the Newcastle, 30-16.
In an interesting footnote, Craig Smith refused a contract for 2000 and never played footy again.
St George Illawarra, meanwhile, missed out on the top eight by two points, finishing the regular season with a 12 win-14 loss record.

Hey guys! I'm back today with an episode alllll about the platform that lots of us have found very confusing – Pinterest. What are monthly viewers? How are people going viral? Why is it such a good traffic source for some and not for others and how the Jeff do we make it work for us.
Well, I sat down with Reena Rai, the UK Influencer Community Manager for Pinterest and she gave me the TOTAL 401 on Pinterest so I thought I'd share what I learned with you.
Currently over 250m people access Pinterest every month with around 50m of them hailing from the UK. They use it to essentially see what to do, what to buy and what to create. This means it's an unbelievable tool to master for bloggers and online business owners a like – that's a LOT of people seeing your content. And no silly, 'let's limit it to 6% of your followers' business going on either.
Now I am NOT a Pinterest expert, so what I thought I'd do is kind of like a walkthrough episode for ya so that you can get your laptops or phones out and implement some tweaks and changes as we go through OR if you're on the go, this episode might just lift the lid on what a GIFT Pinterest is for bloggers and online business owners a like. SO if you're ready, let's crack on.
First things first, a lot of you have come to me in the past and said, 'oh Vix I know I should be on Pinterest but I just don't know where to start' or, you've been wondering how to generate traffic from it. TOTALLY been there myself. Now usually I would direct you to some Pinterest whizzes like Victoria from Apartment No 4, who wrote a great blog post for me all about Pinterest for bloggers – so defo go and read that. But I thought, seeing as I've just met with Pinterest, I can break it down for you like Reena did for me!
So you've probably heard this a thousand billion times but Pinterest is a visual search engine. It's like Google's better looking sister. The me, to my twin. Haha. Jokes.
What that means though is that is a platform that people go to to look for inspiration or guidance – a range of how tos, tutorials and tips. So in the same way that your brilliantly helpful and interesting content does well in Google search – that same content should also do well on Pinterest.
One HUGE benefit of Pinterest, unlike other social media apps *cough*INSTAGRAM*cough* is that your followers see your content and share it widely to people who AREN'T following you. Which again means so many eyes on your content!
Unlike other platforms too, Pinterest content hangs around for AGES with the average shelf life of a pin being 105 days. Imagine all the traffic rolling in from that!
Not all content is made for Pinterest however. Your 3am ramblings over boys not texting you back or that Payday Edit about the New Look purse you want may not pull in the results in comparison to a travel guide, beauty tutorial, fashion cookbook, recipe or guide.
This is probably why I haven't utilised Pinterest before. I can't seem many people looking to it for tips on snogging or what to say to fuckboys. But now I'm writing more lifestyle and blogging based content – it's definitely something I want to utilise.
I'll give you a bit of background on my Pinterest – it ain't me. Haha I had the wonderful Lex from Talonted Lex manage it for a month or two and she helped optimise my boards. Then I had a couple of other pals help out with getting to grips with the Tailwind scheduler – but I'll come back to that. So if you go on my profile and see a quarter of a million monthly views (as it stands) please don't think that makes me good at Pinterest. Haha!
Anyway, now I have the wonderful Dani who works with me and she sets up my Tailwind pins BUT after my meeting with Reena, I came home and basically transformed my entire profile – and that's what I'm going to work with you on today.
Once you've done that, I want us to walk through how to optimise your profile. GO ahead and click 'Settings' and your profile should come up.
Fill it in but there's one area I really want you to focus on and that's your profile name and description. This is where you need to get those keywords in that relate to your blog or business. So for example, because I blog about blogging and I'm a blogging coach – I want to make sure my profile name and description has keywords like – blogger, blogging tips, social media strategy etc in it. Your description is totally searchable so make sure you've got the terms in there that you want to be found for!
The next best bit about a business profile is that you get to 'claim' your other channels. To claim your website, you need to get a piece of code from Pinterest and then to put it into your website's backend (that's what she said). I'm on WordPress so I downloaded a plugin called Headers and Footers which meant I could copy and paste the code into my header. There are tons of tutorials on how to do this for all web platforms if you get stuck.
That's the basics of your profile up and running. There are other ways to optimise it with the cover pins and featured boards but I think we'll come back to that in another episode!
You'll also want to ensure that your blog has the Pinterest 'Pin It' or 'Save' button installed. This is where people can hover over a picture from your post and a Pinterest logo comes up so that they can save it to their board. On WordPress you just need to enable to Pinterest plugin and link it to your business account. Again there are tons of tutorials if you're stuck or if you have a Pipdig theme like I do it comes pre installed – but go and hover over some images on your blog to check it works!
The next great thing you get with a business account is that you can enable, 'Rich Pins'. All this means is that there are different pin types that will pull through information and look mega fancy. For example – recipe pins will show cooking time, ingredients and all the juicy diets on Pinterest. Mainly we'll be making 'article pins' which is where Pinterest will give a viewer a snippet of what our blog posts are about and will encourage the Pinner to read it.
To get the most out of these pins, you should make sure that when you upload a photo for your post, that you write a description of the article in the description box as this is what Pinterest pulls through. For example, I will make the graphic for this podcast episode and write in the description box something like, 'Here's my latest podcast episode which is a beginner's guide to Pinterest. I discuss how bloggers can use Pinterest and how we can get the most out of our business accounts.' I will try and put those keywords like 'beginner's Pinterest guide' and 'bloggers Pinterest' in there so that it can become searchable within Pinterest.
If you forget though, don't panic, you can go into Pinterest and rewrite Pin descriptions to make them more searchable by including keywords and even hashtags but I'll discuss that in a min.
A key benefit of Pinterest over other platforms is the myriad of ways you are discoverable. You can use hashtags – the broader the better as they are still relatively new in Pinterest world. But make sure you put them on fresh content. Some of Pinterests feeds are chronological so hashtags will only matter on fresh content really!
So, your content can be found on Pinterest in these ways – the home feed, the following feed and in related pins.
You will appear in someone's home feed if Pinterest's algorithm deems your content relevant to what people have been pinning. SO if I pin loads of gold wedding dresses, the next time I go to my home feed – loads more gold dresses will show up – and not just from people I'm already following.
Then you'll appear in the feeds of people who follow you, when they click on the Following tab. Using the following tab is a great way to engage with people you follow by repining their stuff or commenting on their pins. GO and show the love!
You also have the chance of appearing in the 'related pins' section. If someone clicks on a pin to view it and decides it's not what they're looking for, further suggestions will appear at the bottom – that could be you!
I feel like there's SO MUCH more we can cover and I already see this episode become too beefy, so let's leave it here and I'll continue it next week.
And if you fancy a little challenge – why not create 5 new boards that are relevant to your content and pin at least 40 pins (mix in some of your content) and come and share them on the Facebook group – I'll start a thread where we can give each other feedback on our profiles and boards.
You could also start a board that is specifically for your blog posts, podcast episodes, YouTube videos, Insta images etc!
And then a few insider tips from Pinterest themselves!
And go right ahead and follow me on Pinterest – I'm /vixmeldrew on there!
I've really being trying to up my game with Pinterest recently. I've used the free trail on Tailwind and I've found it so useful for driving more traffic and saving time. I think I might have to take the plunge and get the full paid account! Looking forward to the next episode about Pinterest! | {
