A former AWC
Arab Water Convention to address impending water crisis
At a time when 11 of the 17 most water-stressed countries in the world are based in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region, more than 10 Ministers of the Arab countries will take part in the two-day Arab Water Convention.
Scheduled to be held from February 20 to 21, 2023, at the Ritz-Carlton Dubai International Financial Centre in Dubai, UAE, the event will address the depleting water tables and impending water crisis in the Arab World and how to overcome those challenges.
Held under the patronage of the League of Arab States, the event will be convened by Arab Water Council, with special focus on the non-conventional water resources. More than 600 officials, experts, delegates and leaders will listen to more than 60 speakers who will address critical regional water-related topics, including in-depth projection of future actions.
COP27 outcomes
The Convention is also intended to timely bring all interested parties together to embark on implementing the COP27 outcomes. Governments, financial institutions, private sector and the civil society need to immediately engage in factual dialogues to address the subject.
According to the United Nations, around 40% of the world’s population is affected by water scarcity, while 80% of wastewater is discharged untreated into the environment, and more than 90% of disasters are water-related. As the Arab Region witnesses one of the highest rates of water scarcity and a very critical freshwater situation, Governments are increasing investments in water infrastructure.
As per data from BNC Network, more than 200 million people live under conditions of water scarcity and 160 million under absolute water scarcity. Nearly 87 million people in the region lack access to an improved drinking water source on premises and are required to collect water from public standpipes and sources, particularly women and girls.
“Over the past 30 years, the water table in the UAE has dropped about one metre per year. At the current rate, the UAE is projected to deplete its natural freshwater resources in about 50 years,” according to the World Bank.
Accordingly, development of the desalination projects will continue to be essential to social and economic development in the Gulf to meet the increasing water demand. Over 75% of worldwide desalinated water is in the Middle East and North Africa, 70% of which is in the GCC countries and 6% in Libya and Algeria. Collectively, Water Desalination Plant Projects in the Mena region are estimated at $39.3 Billion.
As highlighted by BNC Network, the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036 aims to reduce the demand for water resources, increase water productivity, increase water-use efficiency, and improve water quality by reducing pollution. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is also focusing on water infrastructure and has $14 billion water projects under construction.
“By 2030, the effects of climate change will also take a toll on the challenge of water security, possibly reducing renewable water resources by a further 20%. The Arab Water Convention proposes to foster crucial dialogue to promote cooperation and exchange of knowledge and perspectives, exchange of cutting-edge technologies, advanced applications, and successful practices,” says Prof Mahmoud Abu-Zeid, President of Arab Water Council.
“Treated wastewater in the Arab region, which has reached around 10 billion cu m/year, constitutes a significant renewable water source. Technical and technological efforts must be exerted to properly manage its use, whether in agriculture or in the artificial recharging of groundwater aquifers. There is a need to improve the quality of treated wastewater in order to overcome obstacles that limit its current use.
“More than ever, the dialogue between different actors is now required for exploring pioneering solutions and for the mobilisation of public and private actions in order to promote better water resource quality and ensure sustainability.”
Water challenges
Convened by the Arab Water Council to address a specific water priority issue in the Arab region, the Arab Water Convention is part of a series of regional events responding to the region’s rapidly changing water challenges. The aim of the Arab Water Convention is to provide a regional and international platform to exchange state-of-the-art technologies, advanced applications, and successful practices on a specific water priority issue in the Arab region which is facing rapidly changing water challenges.
Professor Abu-Zeid added: “Opportunities for new business models for non-conventional water resources will be disclosed. The world-class Water Expo, to be held on the sidelines of the Convention, will also be an additional chance to showcase the latest water-related technologies, innovative solutions, and equipment, hence enabling successful business transactions and interchange of knowledge and know-how.”
The 2023 Convention is dedicated to address the non-conventional water resources (NCWR) and the wealth of emerging opportunities for business and innovation the field of water resources management has to offer. The Convention will also be an exclusive opportunity to foster business connections with a wide spectrum of high-level industry executives, planners, decision-makers and public sector from different Arab countries and international partners.
Multi-stakeholder dialogue
It will include a multi-stakeholder dialogue to promote the most efficient, adequate, and innovative technologies, exchange knowledge, share best practices, and ensure a qualified transfer of pilot experiences on emerging issues in the Arab region.
To achieve its objectives, the Arab Water Convention will address four critical themes including: Effective governance frameworks for the efficient use of non-conventional water resources; smart NCWR-business opportunities focusing, among others, on digital transformation and artificial intelligence; financing new bankable NCWR-business opportunities; and role of the private sector in promoting new NCWR-business opportunities.
The event, viewed as an accelerator for the uptake of NCWR in the region, targets Arab governmental representatives, international and regional organisations /donors, investors, finance and business stakeholders, decision-makers, industrial engineers, and specialists in different disciplines of water, food, and energy nexus in a changing climate. Gender empowerment and youth participation will be an important cross-cutting component of the Convention.
The Arab Water Convention is being organised and promoted by GM Events, a Dubai-based multi-faceted event management company of international repute, having organised numerous unique forums and exhibitions that highlight the issues faced by various economic sectors across the Arab region.-- TradeArabia News Service | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11598 | {"url":

Aid for North Korea – No Longer Just for Bleeding Hearts?
No Comments on Aid for North Korea – No Longer Just for Bleeding Hearts?
Former President Carter’s recent trip to North Korea, and resultant call for a resumption of humanitarian (mainly food) aid to the North, once again brings attention to the controversial issue of sending aid to North Korea. Many people disagree strongly on this one, some blaming aid provision for prolonging the rule of the Kim clan, with resultant additional suffering of the populace, others blame a failure to provide aid for the sickness and death of untold numbers of North Koreans.
Aside from food aid, what about medical aid? Further, what if disease outbreaks in the North sicken people in the South? Should the South provide aid if it protects Southerners? What if those affected include not only South Korean civilians, but also South Korean and U.S. troops stationed near the border? How would that change the debate?
In 2008 and 2009, the South sent aid to the North to help control the North’s mosquito population (the primary malaria vector) and reduce malaria morbidity in the North. While the effect of the aid in the North is unknown, at least outside the North, the provision of aid dropped the number of malaria cases in the South’s Gyeonggi Province (which borders the North) by 50% in 2008 (cases declined from 1,007 in 2007 to 490 in 2008). Aid supplies were hindered in 2009 by the outbreak of swine flu in the South, but what aid was provided still kept Gyeonggi’s number of cases at 611, well below 2007.
In May 2010, however, the South halted provision of all anti-malaria aid after it determined the North was responsible for sinking the Cheonan (a South Korean naval vessel) and killing 46 of the sailors onboard. What happened, absent the aid? The suspension caused malaria case counts in Gyeonggi to jump by 200, to 818. In total, the reduction (2009) and halt (2010) in anti-malaria aid resulted in 300-400 additional Southerners contracting the disease, aside from whatever effect it had on the North. [Information in the preceding two paragraphs available at the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and this brief article from MBC News].
Aside from Gyeonggi Province, a broader scope look that includes all of the regions closest to the North (Seoul, Incheon, Gangwon, and Gyeonggi), shows the suspension of aid in 2010 led to a 40% jump in malaria cases, to a total of 1,259 cases. Included in the increased malaria morbidity were not just civilians, but also South Korean soldiers stationed along the border with the North.
While the U.S. is reducing the number of troops it has stationed in areas closest to the border, a 2009 study by the U.S. Army called malaria, “a significant health threat” for those deployed to malaria-endemic regions, like South Korea’s border with the North. The same study found that U.S. forces in Korea accounted for 44% of the total number of malaria cases in the entire U.S. Army from 1997-2002.
While establishing a definitive link between malaria morbidity in the North and increases in the disease among civilians and soldiers in the South awaits further epidemiological research, the numbers above illustrate what that research is likely to find. Taken together, these numbers show that, absent anti-malaria aid to the North, several hundred additional people per year in South Korea will likely contract the disease. Included among those additional cases will likely be members of both the South Korean and U.S. militaries.
The increase in malaria cases in the South has prompted members of the South Korean parliament to call for a decoupling of medical aid from politics and inter-Korean relations. These calls include not just members of the left-wing parties normally associated with aid to the North, but also at least one member of the Grand National Party, the current ruling party and the party that traditionally takes the toughest line with the North. Awareness of the second and third-order effects of medical aid provision appears to be altering the traditional South Korean split between liberals favoring aid to the North and conservatives opposing it. How this will affect international views of medical aid provision to the North waits to be seen.

Passive proliferation and problems with price discovery
Passive funds have come a long, long way from their humble beginnings. Having started as small and scrappy and distinctly out-of-consensus investment options, they have grown impressively over the last ten years and now are often considered the defaults for many investing activities.
As passives have grown, however, an important dynamic has changed. When passive funds comprised only a small part of the total market, it didn’t matter much that they allocated capital according to criteria that were entirely unrelated to economic fundamentals. As a much larger (and still growing) mass of funds, this quirk is having a progressively greater effect on market prices.
Although few would be surprised that passive funds have been gaining share at the expense of active funds, the extent of that progress is not often highlighted. This makes the recent Morningstar Direct Fund Flows Commentary from April 2019 (h/t Almost Daily Grants) all the more newsworthy. The report noted that “a $39 billion inflow in passively-managed assets in April pushed the total to $4.3 trillion, within $6 billion of eclipsing the total assets invested in active management”.
Kevin McDevitt, who authored the report noted, "This is a milestone that has been a long time coming as the trend toward low-cost fund investing has gained momentum.” Further, almost all the growth in passives has been funded by flows out of active funds. As McDevitt highlighted, “active U.S. equity managers have seen funds decrease in every year since 2006”.
Coincident with the passive share milestone, a couple of studies appeared in the recent Financial Analysts Journal that speak to some increasingly visible problems with passive investing. The first, entitled, "The revenge of the stock pickers", focuses on the awkward and often inefficient ways in which ETFs discount thematic news:
"When an exchange-traded fund (ETF) trades heavily around a theme, correlations among its constituents increase significantly. Even some securities that have little to no exposure to the theme itself begin to trade in lock-step with other ETF constituents. In other words, because ETF investors are agnostic to security-level information, they often 'throw that baby out with the bathwater'."
Of course, this is the type of thing that causes active investors to salivate at the opportunity. Indeed, the authors confirm, "When high-volume selloffs occur, ETF investors may be leaving as much as 200-300 bps of alpha on the table for stock pickers to capture over the following 40 days." The opportunity for the active investor is conditioned on only two basic questions: "Why is the ETF selling off, and should this constituent be selling off with it?"
Often the answers are not hard to find. The article outlined the example of pharmaceutical stocks in September 2015. At that time the New York Times reported Turing Pharmaceuticals had massively increased the price of a life-saving drug. The next day, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton tweeted that she would develop a plan to curtail price gouging by pharmaceutical firms. A week later, Valeant Pharmaceuticals was scrutinized by the House of Representatives in regard to drug price increases. These headlines had an interesting effect on the Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLV):
"Both these events threatened to put pressure on revenues for the pharmaceuticals sector but not necessarily for other health care stocks. Although some companies were directly in the line of fire, we find it hard to imagine how regulation aimed at human drug pricing would affect companies that make animal medicines and vaccines, such as Zoetis, or medical equipment, such as Baxter International. Yet all XLV constituents-without exception-sold off over these seven trading days."
In other words, it very much appears as if the baby got thrown out with the bathwater. Stocks like Baxter and Zoetis should not have been affected at all by pharmaceutical headlines but were affected simply by virtue of being in the healthcare index. This shouldn't happen when a market is effective at determines prices.
Another area in which the value proposition of passives can be less than it seems is in the area of factor investing. Factor investing (aka, smart beta) is a form of passive investing in that it foregoes security-level analysis. Rather, it identifies certain "factors" that tend to generate premium returns over time. "Value", for example, is a well-known factor.
Another factor is "quality" and it is reviewed in the study, "What is quality?". One of the unique aspects of this particular factor is that there are fairly disparate views as to what constitutes quality. Various funds use very different inputs to capture the essence of quality.
In the authors' review of literature on the "quality" factor, they find that "profitability, investment (asset growth), accounting quality, and payout/dilution are all strongly related to future return." Conversely, they also find that the commonly used metrics of "capital structure, earnings stability, and growth in profitability show little evidence of premium."
So, one point is that the metrics for "quality" that have been demonstrably effective tend to be the same ones that any decent student of finance, or decent CFA charterholder, or decent securities analyst have been trained to identify. The main difference is that factor funds try to do so cheaply and systematically but often superficially, and analysts dig in to confirm economic reality but at a higher cost.
Another point is that at least some "quality" factor funds don't do what they are supposed to do. Most of the "quality" funds that were examined include metrics that have no evidence of adding value. One of the funds uses only metrics that have no evidence of adding value.
As such, to a greater or lesser degree, most of the "quality" factor funds are more marketing phenomena than they are interesting investment vehicles. They lend credence to the adage that smart beta is simply the combination of smart marketing and dumb beta. They also indicate how alluring narratives and other marketing tools are increasingly tarnishing the field of passive products.
The trend in passives to more aggressively exploit marketing narratives was also revealed by Zerohedge in discussing the "Next Generation of ETFs". In the increasingly competitive field of passive products, not only is there a need to develop new product ideas in order to keep expanding, but there is a need to raise fees from the paltry levels of the largest, most commoditized funds.
As the story highlights, "While a normal ETF collects fees of as little as $0.20 on every $1,000 invested, AI [artificial intelligence] designed ETFs can justify fees as large as $1.80 to $8 on that same $1,000 investment." There is no small irony that increasingly aggressive and dubious marketing claims that are designed to increase fees are infecting the field of passive investing. The same types of criticisms that were used by passive funds to gain share at the expense of active funds now applies to those very same passive funds.
While the two FAJ articles highlight some pockets where things can go wrong with passive investing, they only hint at the broader impact passives can have. This broader impact can best be understood as an imbalance. When trading is dominated by active funds, the parties have economic incentives to get the transaction price as right as possible. This keeps prices anchored to economic realities.
When trading becomes dominated by passive funds, however, and passive funds gain share at the expense of active funds (as they have over the last several years), there is no mechanism to anchor prices to economic reality.
Horizon Kinetics reported on this phenomenon in its 4th Quarter 2016 commentary. They describe how "the money flows into index funds pushed up the prices of the index-centric securities". They add, at the same time, "the outflow from actively managed funds ... has forced active managers to sell and push down the prices of that which they own." Both trends affect prices in ways that are wholly unrelated to fundamentals.
There are two important consequences of these trends. One is that the growth in passives will slow down:
"But long before such exhaustion of the pool of actively managed equity mutual fund AUM, those outflows must decline significantly. They don’t just continue at a steady rate, then stop on a dime. Moreover, there is some significant number of investors who prefer and will maintain their actively managed assets. Is it 10%, 30%, 40%, of the total equity? So the limit is even closer. And it’s even closer than that, because to keep the perceived equilibrium going, the index fund organizers need to go beyond merely continued net inflow; they need proportionately increased flow, because the market value of everything they are buying is going up; it’s a law of large numbers dynamic. They need more and more money to hold the prices where they are, but the inflow is being drained from a shrinking pool of non-indexed AUM. That’s how all bubbles work."
A second consequence is that market prices have become progressively more detached from underlying economic fundamentals. How far can valuations get stretched? The folks at Horizon Kinetics provide some color:
"We do not know where the tipping point is. But the minute the inflows [from passives] slow meaningfully, whether that takes three years or ten, the index will no longer set the price, the ETFs will no longer be setting the prices of the winners. At that point, the baton passes to the active managers, and they will set the marginal price."
So, there are some fairly powerful lessons for investors here. When the baton passes to active investors and they begin setting the marginal price again, there is potential for stocks to go down significantly from current levels. The reason is that active managers set prices according to fundamentals and valuation and passive managers don’t. It is not that fundamentals and valuation have not mattered over the last nine years; it is only that they haven’t mattered to the setters of marginal prices during that period.
Another important point is that change is imminent. Now that passives comprise half of managed funds, there is little room for continued growth at the same rates. As Horizon Kinetics points out, passives “need more and more money to hold the prices where they are, but the inflow is being drained from a shrinking pool of non-indexed AUM.” It’s only a matter of time before that growth must slow.
In addition, whatever selloff might happen could be substantially magnified by a slowdown in corporate share repurchases. Just like passive funds, corporations have also been large purchases of stock and have also been largely insensitive to price in doing so. If share repurchases decline from record levels, it would exacerbate the effect of slowing passive flows.
Further, the success of passive investing has affected the active money management industry in a number of ways. Many active managers have not been able to withstand the performance pressures and have closed down. Many of those who have survived have done so by adapting their approaches to favor money flows over valuation in their analyses. Either way, much of the industry has lost its "muscle memory" for doing rigorous valuation work.
Finally, the 50% milestone creates an excellent opportunity to reflect on the value proposition of passive funds. Since that value proposition is predicated on low cost exposure to something desirable, and the desirability of risk assets depends on prices representing fair value (which translates into adequate expected returns), it also depends on the balance between active and passive investing.
The more passive funds set prices, though, the less balance there is, and the more disconnected prices can stray from economic reality. The result is that owning passive funds simply exposes investors to overvalued assets. In other words, passive funds are becoming victims of their own success by becoming too big to offer the same value proposition they once did.
As a result, the 50% milestone also serves as a warning signal to passive and active investors alike. It signals that the greatest benefits of passive investing are mostly over and are unlikely to ever be repeated to the same degree. It also signals an investment landscape featuring security and entire asset class valuations that are substantially above fair value. Indeed, the balance between passive and active investing may be a more important indicator for investors than either interest rates or economic growth. The bad news is that returns are likely to be poor for the foreseeable future. The good news is that this environment is setting up to be one in which truly active managers are well suited to outperform. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11605 | {"url":

The last day of work...
Things are pretty quiet on the day job today, though I am actually getting something constructive done (for which they pay me, not just doing my last-minute online shopping). Of the few people that even showed up today, and the fewer still that are hanging around at lunchtime, most are just biding their time until the boss does the annual tour-of-shaking-hands to wish us a "happy holidays" (another soap-box rant). They then ignore the sound of beating feet towards the door as soon as they turn their backs.
I do have some other things I want to do today. And some other things I need to do today.
I think what I miss most about my younger days (college) is the week or so BEFORE Christmas, when the last final exam was completed -- the stress was off, I could do all my shopping in a day, and then just chill and mentally/spiritually prepare. Trying to fit all that into the cracks of life is a drain, and really I tend to just do what's necessary, waiting until it's finally over to be able to enjoy myself a bit.
Kinda sad, really.
But my new daughter gets to celebrate her first Christmas, even if she'll have absolutely no idea what's happening. That's okay, there will be plenty of pictures with which to embarrass her later.
Yesterday, my family and Eric's family (the guy I do a lot of riding and running with) went into Seattle for the gingerbread house display, dinner at Gordon Biersch, and some shopping while waiting for the "indoor snow" and a Santa appearance. While waiting, Eric's daughter mentioned about how "Santa isn't real."
Ah... Time for me to step in. At 12 years old, she was mature enough to understand.
"What do you mean, 'Santa isn't real'? Don't you believe in magic?"
Blank stare. I don't think she expected anyone to challenge that thought. Least of all the engineer.
"Tell me something -- how do you feel when you give someone something?"
Another blank stare. She was trying to figure out how to answer the NEXT question without answering THIS one. I persisted.
"When you give something to someone, how does that make you feel? Do you feel good about it?"
Subtle nod with a cautious, "Yeeeeaaaaahhhh?"
"That's Santa! The spirit of giving! When you're 2 years old, you have no way to understand that, so you need something magical, some one to BE that spirit until you can understand the feeling yourself. But by the time you're old enough to figure out that the big guy in the red suit really DOESN'T come down the chimney, you're also old enough to understand the real magic. When you give someone something because you care, that's the magic, that's Santa."
She smiled and nodded.
Happy Christmas, or however you celebrate, to all.
Three-up Riding
I've never had a great sprint on the bike. I did okay in high school track and even in the 5K distance in college, where I at least wouldn't get left behind. But on the bike, I've just never had that big snap, the acceleration to come around some one at the end of a race.
I can't tell you how many races I've ended up third in a 3-man break away. I'm very good at creating a break away, and keeping them going to stay away from the group, but when it comes to the finish line, I'm the caboose.
One particular race stands out in my mind, mainly because I had a comfortable solo lead going over the last (huge) mountain, but was caught by two on the descent, and when the final sprint was there, I was third.
This brings me to yesterday's shop group ride. Nyer, the owner of Inspired Ride Bicycles, wasn't going to make it, and I was working the day, so I got there early and settled in, prepping everything. When ride time came, there was that familiar number -- three.
It's usually a non-competitive ride, somewhat social but still scooting along. Sometimes if the group is larger, it'll break up into two groups, one going faster, and maybe longer than the normal loop. With the small numbers, and me having to be back to open the shop doors, the normal loop was the call of the day.
We set out, and I led through the first few miles where we wind through a park, and made our way through some busier roads before crossing Meridian, the major north/south arterial, and onto the chip-sealed back roads. I didn't want things to get too pedestrian, so I kept the pace on the high side for the group.
Once into the open road in Sunrise, an out-of-place four lane road, the other two finally came to the front and pressed things. A nice downhill, and then they started flagging on the gentle incline on the other side. This is where I usually start pulling the group apart if there's going to be a split. We stayed together, but I was pushing it. Heading west into the sun, one right-hander, another downhill, and the biggest hill of the ride.
As some one who's always been a pretty good climber, I can usually leave most people behind here. Not today, though. Those two stayed on my wheel, and I could already envision the familiar third-place finish as they sling-shot around me for the "win".
When it came, I was already settle with it. My place as lead-out man was secure, as was my normal role in criteriums and flat road races.
And so this ride ended as most of my three-up rides do -- I finish third when the last sprint comes.
Me came in first, with Myself a close second, and I followed in with a smile.
Winter in the Pacific Northwest
It’s amazing what a difference a day (and about 20 degrees) makes.
I’ve been mostly enjoying the lunchtime mountain bike rides this past couple weeks, when the temperatures haven’t ventured above freezing, and some mornings have ventured into the mid-West BRRRR territory. Sure, there’s a little bit of ice to deal with, but that’s easily avoided or coasted over. The ground, though, has been consistent, hard-packed (okay, frozen), and in some cases smoother than many of the PAVED roads I ride on. The frost heaves had proved to be strong enough to float my 155 lbs (hey, it’s after Thanksgiving) and bike.
It was 45 degrees when I left for work at Oh-Dark-Thirty this morning, with a light drizzle. All those nicely hard-packed dirt roads that I’ve enjoyed these last couple weeks have turned into the natural equivalent of mashed potatoes. The security trucks that make the daily rounds back in the woods have left the frost heaves a rutted random washboard, punctuated with abrupt fall-through of two inches – kind of exciting mid-corner.
I liked riding in the cold. As much as I had to bundle up, I could hang up the clothes overnight to dry and take them out the next day.
This time, not gonna happen. I looked like a Warrior Dash finisher by the end of an hour-long ride. The clothes will HAVE to be washed before their next outing. The pile of grit I left on the locker room floor would have made a good place to plant early corn. And I had to blow it out of my nose…
Winter in the Pacific Northwest.
I wouldn’t live anywhere else.
Okay, except maybe someplace that has real winter. Or endless summer.
Buried treasure -- rummaging through the parts bin
Every once in a while I dig into the parts bin. Seems every cyclist who's been riding for more than 5 years has one -- that tub/box/area of parts that were taken off a bike for upgrades, or a broken frame, or somehow just accumulate.
Maybe they're breeding when the garage lights are turned off.
I'll admit that I've got some OLD stuff in my garage. I've culled it down significantly in the last few years, casting off pieces that would clearly see no road time on my bikes. And even at that, I've built up more than one bike from a bare frame just by raiding the parts bin. I've resuscitated many other's bikes as well with choice pieces from the archives.
Sometimes the impetus behind digging into the bin has nothing to do with cycling. Like when my wife declared that "the only thing I want for Christmas is to park my car in the garage." Well, clearly she didn't mean the ONLY thing. But I digress. That one triggered a depth of offload never before seen in my cycling life.
Of course it wasn't very long before I was looking for some of the things that were thrown out...
ANYway... Where was I going with all this?
Oh, yeah... In getting my garage (okay, my HALF of the garage) ready to build bike frames, I ran across a set of Ultegra brake levers. Not brake/shift levers. Brake levers. Vintage. Before brake/shift levers even existed. From when 7-speed clusters were the Big Thing, and rear dropouts were spaced at 126mm for road bikes. Now they'd be called single-speed brake levers.
And as I was riding my trainer this weekend, early in the morning because I was otherwise spending any daylight hours helping my mom move to a new and smaller apartment (which in itself triggered a desire to pare down the house), and because it was officially COLD out (14-16 degrees F, well beyond chilly for the Pacific Northwest), my mind wandered to my mountain bike, the one I keep at work, with which I'm still not completely happy about the handlebar configuration.
The SINGLE SPEED mountain bike.
LIGHTBULB!
I've got a selection of stems, which were collected in a spasm of thinking towards getting a fit studio going in the bike shop where I work, and I've got a compact drop bar that's awaiting a rebuild of the Barkley Softride (converting to disc brakes and upgrading the fork from the 1" standard, which I've realized is a long ways off, if it happens at all). I've got a set of road-pull disc brakes that were awaiting the same rebuild, or the upgrade of the MTB fork (and a new set of wheels, but that's peripheral).
Why not convert the MTB to drop bars? I've ridden drops off-road before, and it worked pretty well. Essentially I'd be making the MTB into a single-speed monster cross bike. I was putting off getting a fork because I figured I would MAKE one (I've got 20 sets of fork blades in a box that I picked up for a song, just waiting for my torch skills to catch up). Again, that's out somewhere in the future of who-knows-when. I could pick one up for around $60... yeah, looks kind of stupid in that light, eh?
So the final switch that brought that whole idea to fruition was the finding of those brake levers. Which are probably 20 or more years old. And working fine.

We have had a wonderful week of Christmas plays. The Key Stage One performance ‘A Midwife Crisis’ took place during the afternoon of 14th December. The children were fantastic. All of the children managed to learn a lot of lines for the speaking parts and words for the songs.
During the morning of the December 14th the Reception class performed a wonderful Nativity for their parents. It was a great success and the children impressed us all with all the songs and actions that they had remembered.
KS2 performed ‘Bethlehem The Musical’ over two evenings. It was an amazing performance. All year groups had a significant role within the play with a mixture of solos, speaking parts and dances. Year 6 had the larger speaking parts. The acting flowed beautifully and the solos were sung extremely well. The singing was wonderful throughout the performance.
Well done to all the children for taking part in the Christmas plays and a big thank you to all the staff. Thank you too for all your generous donations, we have just over £609 to send to the children’s ward at Addenbrookes Hospital.
The school productions will be available to buy on a DVD. Additional order forms can be collected from the school office. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11609 | {"url": "http://www.clavering.essex.sch.uk/2017/12/christmas-plays-2/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.clavering.essex.sch.uk", "date_download": "2023-03-31T09:41:53Z", "digest": "sha1:HFLVW2NAPMK7GHKULRJC4KD7ZO5ZTKVQ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1213, 1213.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1213, 7837.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1213, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1213, 295.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1213, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1213, 294.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1213, 0.41880342]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1213, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1213, 0.04457953]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1213, 0.03242148]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1213, 0.01282051]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1213, 0.11111111]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1213, 0.5645933]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1213, 4.72248804]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1213, 4.37523147]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1213, 209.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 277, 1.0], [277, 501, 1.0], [501, 858, 1.0], [858, 1092, 1.0], [1092, 1213, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 277, 0.0], [277, 501, 0.0], [501, 858, 0.0], [858, 1092, 0.0], [1092, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 277, 49.0], [277, 501, 38.0], [501, 858, 57.0], [858, 1092, 44.0], [1092, 1213, 21.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 277, 0.00735294], [277, 501, 0.00904977], [501, 858, 0.00573066], [858, 1092, 0.01304348], [1092, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 277, 0.0], [277, 501, 0.0], [501, 858, 0.0], [858, 1092, 0.0], [1092, 1213, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 277, 0.0433213], [277, 501, 0.02232143], [501, 858, 0.0280112], [858, 1092, 0.02136752], [1092, 1213, 0.04132231]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1213, 0.09065735]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1213, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1213, 0.01214856]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1213, -20.73302185]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1213, 18.70725217]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1213, -12.45210507]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1213, 16.0]]} |
Category: Letters to Caleb
Caleb – 16 Months
Published by dee on June 21, 2013
Dear Caleb,
My dear, sweet, loving, cuddly, little miracle surprise baby, I love you with all my heart. I’ll admit that when I found out I was pregnant with you I was scared. I wasn’t sure how I would manage to keep up with another baby, but I fell in love with you and all of those worries went away. I honestly cannot imagine what our family would be without you in it any more. You truly do complete us. It melts my heart to see the way your big brother and sister adore you. I just can’t see it being any other way.
However, the last few months have been extremely challenging for all of us. You see, you started walking, and with that new found ability to move (fast!) you also gained a new sense of independence…and attitude. I’m really proud of all of the new advances you are making, I really am. I just need you to stop every once in a while and take a break from touching and climbing and jumping off of ALL THE THINGS! You are quite a force to be reckoned with these days and you are wearing this old mama out.
There really is no containing you any more, aside from strapping you in a car seat, which causes screams that bring the neighbors running to see what is wrong (not really, but I’m surprised they haven’t yet). You have already managed to climb over the side of your crib, have nearly gotten over the side of the pack ‘n’ play, have escaped your “baby jail”, and figured out how to open doors. This week you also managed to escape from the seat of a shopping cart (while strapped in – thankfully I turned back around at just the right second) and the stroller (while also strapped in). Oh, and also the high chair. When you are done eating you are outta there, one way or another. The only thing you have not managed to break and/or escape from (as long as it is properly closed) is the living room gate, but I’m sure that time is coming.
Once you have managed to escape from whatever latest contraption we were trying to contain you in, you are into E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! I am not exaggerating. You seriously have to have someone 1-on-1 with you at all times to keep you from getting into things that you shouldn’t. Perhaps I have not baby proofed as well as I should have because I got a little relaxed with the other two being older, but pretty much if there is anything within your sight that you want, you will find a way to get to it. I have found you standing on top of tables, on top of the back of the sofa and chairs in the living room, and even standing on toys so you could reach just a little farther. There is no stopping you.
Your other favorite pastime seems to be annoying your older brother. One of your favorite things to do is to turn the TV off when he is mid-show, or even worse, in a crucial part of a video game. You also constantly grab his glasses from his face (and mine) which gets old really quick. He’ll let you slide a couple times, but after that he gets a little angry. You better watch out because paybacks are hell, and boy do you have it coming! It’s a good thing that he loves you so much, because there is no one else he would be so patient with.
And can we just talk about this sleep thing for a minute? It took me 13 months, yes THIRTEEN MONTHS, to finally get you sleeping through the night in your own bed. I swear the first morning I woke up and realized you were still asleep in your crib I heard a choir of angels singing above me. There were 8 weeks or so of you doing this pretty much every night, with a few exceptions while you were trying to cut those horrid molars, but hey, that’s understandable. Then came vacation. You actually did amazingly well while we were out of town, despite the crazy schedule, sporadic naps, and getting to bed late pretty much every night. You ended up in bed with mom and dad a couple of times, but it was a nice big king size bed and there was plenty of room. The trouble happened when we came home.
Once we arrived back home from our trip, you forgot how to sleep without me attached to you. In fact, you pretty much forgot how to do anything without me attached to you. I can barely put you down without you screaming (unless there is food visible and within your reach, anyway). Bedtime is horrible. You scream and scream and scream until I finally give in because I’m afraid you are going to scream your lungs up. Eventually, I can get you to sleep by nursing you (which we were nearly done with before vacation but you have now let me know in no uncertain terms that the boobies are still yours) and then put you down in your bed. Some nights that works and you sleep through most of the night before the screaming commences, but others it doesn’t. Those nights are the ones when you wake up just as I try to lay you down and I wonder what on Earth ever possessed me to want to have these little screaming things called children. Ugh, mommy is tired, honey. So, you’ve ended up back in my bed more times that you should have lately and the end seems to be nowhere in sight. Seriously, mommy is tired. Sixteen months of not sleeping (shy of those 8 precious, glorious, weeks) is just too many. I need to sleep and so do you.
I know you have a lot going on. You are growing like a weed – 34 inches (>98th percentile – off the dang growth charts!) tall, and nearly 25 pounds. Plus, you just cut your first 4 molars and 4 incisors all seemingly at once – a total of 16 teeth! Besides all of the walking, climbing, and exploring, you are trying really hard to learn how to talk. You have several words that you use, but you spend a lot of time right now pointing and making sounds that we are supposed to translate into words. Your favorite word seems to be “daddy” as you go around saying it over and over and over again all day long. Sadly, when he tries to pay attention to you, you push him away. You can also say mommy, zach, evie, hi, hello, please, this, bopbop, yay-ya, something that sounds similar to caleb, and many other words that you repeat when you hear them. You also have started dancing whenever you hear music. I love that you are doing this and often turn music on just so I can watch you. It is the cutest thing. We used to have lots of dance parties in our house and I kind of miss them.
It may seem like I’m complaining a lot, but the truth is, I really just want to remember every little bit of your babyness. It is flying by so fast. I feel like I miss out on so many moments with you because I’m busy working, or busy with your brother and sister. I struggle to find the time to just sit and snuggle, which is why when you wrap your arms and legs around me and won’t let go as I’m trying to put you to bed I don’t struggle with you very long. We go right back to my chair and snuggle until you fall asleep in my arms. I know just how quickly these days will pass and you will no longer want to sit and snuggle with mom. You will be grown before I know it, though I hope you’ll still come back for a hug now and then. Until then, I’ll cherish ever minute of time with you I can get.
I love you so much, my little monkey!
p.s. Sorry for the lack of photos. You don’t hold still long enough for me to take them anymore!
Caleb – 7 Months
Published by dee on October 10, 2012
They say that the last child is forgotten in photos, that their life as a child is not documented as the older children’s are. For you, this is certainly not true. Rarely does a day go by that I don’t snap a photo of you. I’m not sure whether to blame it on my increased love of photography or the fact that my iphone’s camera makes it so easy to pick up and snap those everyday moments, but I do know I treasure each and every photo.
Where I do feel I have failed you, my third (and last) child, is documenting your life in words. While I will never truly consider myself a writer, the most precious words I have ever written are those documenting the lives of my children. Sadly, I find it difficult to find the time to sit down and type the words out that I want to say so often. As you pass each new milestone, I try to reach back into my memory to compare you to when your brother and sister passed the same milestones and my memory fails me. To find my memories, I go back to the words I have written, and only then do I remember the details that are growing fuzzy. This is why I am so sad that I have not recorded the same memories for you.
You are seven months old, quickly coming up on eight, and you are the happiest baby I have ever had the opportunity to know. You flash your beautiful smile around to everyone you meet and almost always receive a smile in return. It is so rare to see you unhappy, that when you cry I know something must really be wrong. The last couple of weeks have been a little rough as you have been working on cutting some teeth, and then got a nasty cold on top of that. The last couple of days have seen great improvement though, and your joyful personality has been shining back through.
Developmentally, you are right on track. I have to watch your hands as you will grab anything within your reach. You can sit up on your own now, which makes it much easier to play with all of the toys we still have around from when Zach and Evie were babies. You have the fastest army crawl I think I’ve ever seen and are on the verge of full-on crawling (as soon as you figure out how to not tip forward). I keep thinking you are going to take off on your knees any day, but you are taking your time. That’s okay though, you move fast enough as it is. I already have to remind myself that I can’t leave you sleeping on the bed when I take my showers anymore. I may have to invest in a pack ‘n’ play for every room of the house to keep you contained.
You have started saying a few sounds that resemble words. The first clear repetitive sound was “da-da” (even though I’ll try to keep denying it). I’ve caught a “mama” a few times, and potentially an “ee-ee” here and there. Other sounds are still pretty random, but I have no doubt that you’ll be spouting off all kinds of stuff soon.
You have cut four teeth now, two on bottom and two on top. I’m glad they are coming in because you LOVE to eat. You seem to be quite bored with the mushy baby food though and would really like to eat what the rest of the family is eating most of the time. You love to feed yourself, so I’ve been trying to find soft veggies and fruits that you can pick up on your own. In the last week or so you’ve started fighting for the spoon too, but I’m not sure I’m quite ready for that mess yet!
The one thing you are doing slower than your siblings is using a sippy cup. It isn’t that you can’t or don’t want to use the cup, its that you don’t seem to keep down any liquid other than milk so I’m not sure what to put in the cup. You are still breastfeeding like a champ, but I can barely seem to pump enough milk for your bottles at day care so there isn’t any extra to try in the cup. I’m hoping this issue resolves itself as your reflux lessens, but for now, water and/or juice are not really an option.
I think your absolute favorite time of day is bath time. You seem to know what is coming when I undress you and as soon as I start walking toward the bathroom you start squealing and laughing. Your brother and sister fight nearly every night over who gets to take a bath with you. I think they secretly just enjoy getting to have you all to themselves for a few minutes. You love to splash in the water and play with the bath toys. I think you also love the slippery surface. You flip yourself back and forth from back to tummy, no matter how many times I try to keep you from doing it. You have no fear of the water and love to put your head and/or hands under the stream when the tub is filling.
As infectious as your smiles are, your laughter is even more so. You seem to have a great sense of humor already, and laugh often at the silliest things. You tease your daddy and giggle as you sit in his lap. Your brother and sister can crack you up in an instant. You absolutely love all of our animals and laugh as you put them through your very own brand of torture. (Fortunately, they don’t seem to mind losing clumps of fur too much.) My favorite though, is when I get you right on your best tickle spot – just under your neck, along the collar bone. It was a little tickle there that resulted in your first belly laugh, and I’ll never forget it.
My sweet baby, you are so surrounded by love. Your brother and sister absolutely adore you. Your cousins just cannot get enough of you. Your grandparents, aunts, and uncles love you so much. You have so many extended family members thinking of you, praying for you, and loving you from afar. As for your dad and I? Words can not possibly describe how much love we have for you. My hope is that you always feel that love as you grow and depend on it when things get hard and you need an extra little push in life.
These letters to you may be few and far between. I may not be able to keep up with every milestone or every birthday. Even if I never write another one, I wanted to at least get this down, to remember this time in our fast-paced lives. I hope that somehow, somewhere, this letter survives and that you have the chance to read it someday. When you do read it, I want you to know what an unexpected blessing you are in our lives. I can’t imagine a world without you in it. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11610 | {"url": "http://www.deeperrin.com/category/life/kids-parenting/letters-to-caleb/", "partition": "head_middle",

Index funds, which try to match the performance of a particular market index, have drawn increasing interest from investors, but traditional actively managed funds still hold more assets (see chart). There is ongoing discussion in the financial media about which approach is most effective, but there may be good reasons to hold both in a well-diversified portfolio. Here are some pros and cons to consider.
A Simple Approach
Index funds typically hold the same securities in the same proportions as the index the fund is tracking (or in some cases, a representative selection of securities). After assembling the fund, the fund manager generally makes adjustments only as necessary to track the index, so these funds are called passively managed.
The primary appeal is cost-efficient simplicity. Because index funds have less managerial involvement, fees are often lower than they are for actively managed funds. Index funds may also buy and sell assets less frequently, and lower turnover can help reduce capital gains distributions, which could be an important consideration when funds are in taxable accounts.
However, this simplicity can also be a negative. Many well-known indexes commonly tracked by index funds are broad based and weighted by market capitalization, a company’s value based on the number of outstanding shares multiplied by share prices. Some are price-weighted, meaning the price per share determines the weighting of the security. In either case, index investing may place heavy emphasis on a relatively small number of large companies in the index. And an index fund holds securities in the index regardless of the potential performance of an individual company.
Hands-On Strategies
Active fund managers strive to outperform benchmarks by hand-picking securities based on research and a defined investment strategy. Thus, actively managed funds offer the potential to outperform the broader market, although historically most of them have not.
According to investment analyst Morningstar, 45% of active funds outperformed the average comparable index fund in 2021, a slight drop from 49% in 2020. Both of these years were relatively successful for active funds, possibly because active managers were able to respond to rapidly changing market conditions during and after the pandemic. Over the 10-year period ending in December 2021, only 26% of active funds outperformed the average of their passive counterparts. However, performance varied widely for different underlying investments.1
An actively managed fund may be more diversified than an index fund holding stocks in the same asset category, because the manager can choose to weight the securities to meet the fund’s objective rather than following the market-capitalization or price-weighted structure of an index. Diversification is a method used to help manage investment risk; it does not guarantee a profit or protect against investment loss.
A Decade of Growth
Index funds more than doubled their share of the fund market from 2011 to 2021.

Active managers also have more flexibility and may use a variety of trading strategies to help manage risks. For these reasons, some actively managed funds might offer defensive benefits when markets are falling, and they may be able to take advantage of specific market movements that might not be captured in an index fund.
Passive and active funds each have potential strengths and weaknesses, and there is no guarantee that any investing strategy will be successful. But holding both types of funds in your portfolio may provide a helpful balance.
The return and principal value of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The performance of an unmanaged index is not indicative of the performance of any specific security. Individuals cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Actual results will vary.
Mutual funds and ETFs are sold by prospectus. Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus, which contains this and other information about the investment company, can be obtained from your financial professional. Be sure to read the prospectus carefully before deciding whether to invest.

UK DVD Releases: Monday 6th April 2009
DVD PICKS
Mike Leigh at the BBC (2 Entertain): Priced at nearly £60 this box set of Mike Leigh’s early films at the BBC might seem an expensive luxury but, if you can afford it, is actually an excellent insight into a hugely significant part of his career.
Spanning nearly 30 years this collection showcases all of the writer-director’s surviving work from the BBC, including his contributions to the influential Play For Today series.
For the first time on DVD, this includes seven of his early films (some with new director’s commentaries) as well as two TV studio plays and five engaging short films.
Everything has been restored, and there is a raft of insightful extras.
A six-disc set, the films and features are:
Hard Labour: Mike Leigh’s first TV drama for the BBC in 1973, which was shot entirely on location in his native Salford. It depicts the grinding daily routine of stoical domestic cleaner Mrs Thornley and her cantankerous family. It features Liz Smith (The Royle Family) and early appearances by Ben Kingsley, Bernard Hill and Alison Steadman.
The Permissive Society: A short play, shot entirely in a television studio, about an awkward first date in a Lancashire high rise flat which is interrupted by the young man’s elder sister, returning prematurely after being stood up.
Nuts in May: Leigh’s second Play For Today offering about a self-righteous vegetarian couple (Roger Sloman and Alison Steadman), on a camping holiday in Dorset, who’s rigid assumptions are challenged by other campers.
The Kiss of Death: David Threlfall stars as an off-beat undertaker’s assistant, with a dry sense of humour and a healthy resistance to conformity. He and his best friend Ronnie are confronted by, and finally escape, the clutches of two predatory and fiercely conventional young women, Sandra and Linda. Filmed on location in Oldham.
Who’s Who?: A film about toffs and snobs with Richard Kane as Alan, an obsequious autograph hunter, who works as a clerk for a City stockbroker, and whose wife breeds pedigree chinchilla cats.
Abigail’s Party: Immediately after its smash-hit run at The Hampstead Theatre in London, this 1977 stage-play was staged for TVand became his most popular work to date up to that point. It explores a suburban evening of hilarious disaster, gross embarrassment and untimely death is presided over by the monstrous Beverly, for which performance Alison Steadman won two best actress awards.
Grown-Ups: A young working-class couple, Dick and Mandy, move into a council house, to find their old teacher living next door with his wife. Starring Lesley Manville (All Or Nothing, Topsy-Turvy, Cranford) who has worked with Mike Leigh more than any other actor and Brenda Blethyn (Secrets and Lies), Phil Davis, Sam Kelly, Janine Duvitski (Abigail’s Party) and Lindsay Duncan. Filmed on location in Canterbury.
Home Sweet Home: The tragic-comic tale of a lonely postman, the social workers who chivvy him about his estranged teenage daughter, and his secret affairs with the wives of his fellow postmen. It stars Eric Richard (The Bill) and features Frances Barber (Funland). It was also the first appearance in a Mike Leigh film of Timothy Spall (Secrets and Lies, All Or Nothing). Filmed on location in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.
Four Days in July: A bitterly humorous take on “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland. Set (and shot) in Belfast in July 1984, around the annual 12th July Loyalist Parades, the film examines the communities on both sides of the divide. The cast includes Stephen Rea (The Crying Game) and Bríd Brennan (Dancing At Lughnasa)
Five-Minute Films: This collection also includes a rare treat, five short films written and directed by Mike Leigh – Afternoon, Birth of the Goalie, Old Chums, A Light Snack and Probation. Originally filmed in 1975, these five films, lasting five minutes each, were intended to be the first in an ongoing series but weren’t actually broadcast until 1982 during a season of Leigh’s work on BBC.
Extras include:
Documentary, “All About Abigail’s Party”, plus “Welcome”, “Party Nibbles”, “Intro” & “Goodbye”
The Conversation: Will Self interviews Mike Leigh
The Long Goodbye: Bel Mooney interviews Mike Leigh
Arena: Making Plays: the life and work of Mike Leigh
Audio commentary by Mike Leigh available on Nuts in May,The Kiss of Death, Grown-Ups, Four Days in July
The Silence of Lorna (New Wave Films): The latest film from the Belgian brothers Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, who have been a regular fixture at Cannes in the last decade with their contemporary takes on modern European life.
Their best known films are: La Promesse (1996), Rosetta (1999), which won them their first Palme d’or; The Son (2002); and The Child (2005), which secured them a second Palme d’or.
Their new film sees Kosovar actress Arta Dobroshi play Lorna, a young Albanian living in Belgium, who becomes an accomplice to a local mobster’s plan.

POHNPEI LAW MAKERS PASS MICRO GAMES FUNDING BILL
March 5, 2014 Pohnpei, FSM -Last week the Pohnpei Legislature passed an amended bill to provide $901,193 of funding for the 8th Micronesian Games that Pohnpei will host beginning in July.
Governor Ehsa has signed the bill into law. For the PICS Track and Field renovation the law provides $607,527. The Micronesian Games "overall" allotment is for $114,473. It provides $179,193 for support for Pohnpei Athletes' participation in the games.
After public hearings the joint committee report on the bill said that it recommended the allocation of funds to finance the total project cost for the rehabilitation of the Pohnpei Islands Central School Track and field which were broken down as follows:
Construction of track asphalt base $228,000
Track surface supply and installation $325,000
Construction of concrete swale and installation $ 43,026
Construction drawings or blueprints $ 6,500
Long and triple jump take-off boards and inner running rail $ 5,000
The report says that the construction of the track's asphalt base and concrete swale and drainage will be carried out by Pohnpei Transportation Authority. The track surfacing and construction of the long and triple jump area will be carried out by TEAM SPORTS, a privately owned Australian company. TEAM SPORTS will order the synthetic surfacing material from a company in Europe now that funding has been allotted.
The $6500 earmarked for construction drawings will be paid to Sports Surface Consultants, LTD.
For the Pohnpei team, the Legislature allotted a total of $179,193 as follows:
Equipment and gear $56,664
Athletes' per diem $70,364
Opening and closing ceremonies uniforms $ 9,125
Sports uniforms $38,040
Insurance $ 5,000
During a hearing on February 10, Robert Spegal, the CEO of the games, testified that a total amount of $497,715 was needed in order to make up the difference between the total submitted budget of $1.8 million and the received and pledged contributions from various donors. A few days later, organizers submitted an updated budget that showed that donors had provided almost $150,000 in additional donations for the games.
"As more pledged contributions are received the less financial assistance is needed from the State government," the committee report said. "It was testified to your joint committee that the external fundraising efforts are in high gear at this point in time, and a considerable amount is yet to be received from pledge donors," the joint committee report said. "It is the sense of your Joint Committee that the priority funding needed by the Organizing Committee could be achieved in time as inflow of financial assistance from contributors and supporters are picking up momentum."
The remainder of the bill dealt with technical details in order to ensure that donor funding requirements are met and that State funds are not commingled with donor funds. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11615 | {"url": "http://www.fm/news/kp/2014/march10_1.htm", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.fm", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:32:11Z", "digest": "sha1:KY2T6TCFJW62GFOYUVUO4C2YKMXX3T66"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2915, 2915.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2915, 3083.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2915, 20.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2915, 26.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2915, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2915, 298.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2915, 0.33333333]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2915, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2915, 0.03624105]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2915, 0.01264223]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2915, 0.0109566]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2915, 0.01938475]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2915, 0.03063063]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2915, 0.20900901]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2915, 0.48366013]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2915, 5.16993464]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2915, 4.9281731]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2915, 459.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 237, 1.0], [237, 490, 1.0], [490, 746, 0.0], [746, 790, 0.0], [790, 837, 0.0], [837, 894, 0.0], [894, 938, 0.0], [938, 1006, 0.0], [1006, 1422, 1.0], [1422, 1517, 1.0], [1517, 1596, 0.0], [1596, 1623, 0.0], [1623, 1650, 0.0], [1650, 1698, 0.0], [1698, 1722, 0.0], [1722, 1740, 0.0], [1740, 2162, 1.0], [2162, 2744, 0.0], [2744, 2915, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 237, 0.0], [237, 490, 0.0], [490, 746, 0.0], [746, 790, 0.0], [790, 837, 0.0], [837, 894, 0.0], [894, 938, 0.0], [938, 1006, 0.0], [1006, 1422, 0.0], [1422, 1517, 0.0], [1517, 1596, 0.0], [1596, 1623, 0.0], [1623, 1650, 0.0], [1650, 1698, 0.0], [1698, 1722, 0.0], [1722, 1740, 0.0], [1740, 2162, 0.0], [2162, 2744, 0.0], [2744, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 49, 8.0], [49, 237, 31.0], [237, 490, 39.0], [490, 746, 42.0], [746, 790, 6.0], [790, 837, 6.0], [837, 894, 7.0], [894, 938, 5.0], [938, 1006, 11.0], [1006, 1422, 67.0], [1422, 1517, 14.0], [1517, 1596, 13.0], [1596, 1623, 4.0], [1623, 1650, 4.0], [1650, 1698, 6.0], [1698, 1722, 3.0], [1722, 1740, 2.0], [1740, 2162, 69.0], [2162, 2744, 93.0], [2744, 2915, 29.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 237, 0.06629834], [237, 490, 0.07531381], [490, 746, 0.0], [746, 790, 0.14634146], [790, 837, 0.13636364], [837, 894, 0.09433962], [894, 938, 0.1], [938, 1006, 0.06349206], [1006, 1422, 0.0], [1422, 1517, 0.04395604], [1517, 1596, 0.08108108], [1596, 1623, 0.20833333], [1623, 1650, 0.2173913], [1650, 1698, 0.09090909], [1698, 1722, 0.23809524], [1722, 1740, 0.28571429], [1740, 2162, 0.0391198], [2162, 2744, 0.0], [2744, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 237, 0.0], [237, 490, 0.0], [490, 746, 0.0], [746, 790, 0.0], [790, 837, 0.0], [837, 894, 0.0], [894, 938, 0.0], [938, 1006, 0.0], [1006, 1422, 0.0], [1422, 1517, 0.0], [1517, 1596, 0.0], [1596, 1623, 0.0], [1623, 1650, 0.0], [1650, 1698, 0.0], [1698, 1722, 0.0], [1722, 1740, 0.0], [1740, 2162, 0.0], [2162, 2744, 0.0], [2744, 2915, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.83673469], [49, 237, 0.06382979], [237, 490, 0.05928854], [490, 746, 0.0234375], [746, 790, 0.02272727], [790, 837, 0.0212766], [837, 894, 0.01754386], [894, 938, 0.02272727], [938, 1006, 0.01470588], [1006, 1422, 0.06490385], [1422, 1517, 0.07368421], [1517, 1596, 0.03797468], [1596, 1623, 0.03703704], [1623, 1650, 0.03703704], [1650, 1698, 0.02083333], [1698, 1722, 0.04166667], [1722, 1740, 0.05555556], [1740, 2162, 0.01895735], [2162, 2744, 0.0137457], [2744, 2915, 0.01169591]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2915, 0.7821368]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2915, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2915, 0.42471296]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2915, -117.44307251]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2915, 33.10337937]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2915, 17.1430322]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2915, 16.0]]} |

M/V James R. Barker was the first 1000-foot class vessel constructed entirely on the Great Lakes, where she was built by American Ship Building Company at Lorain, Ohio. Her self-unloading system includes three cargo hold belts and a 250-foot boom, and is capable of discharging a cargo in about eight hours. The James R. Barker is named for Interlake’s Chairman of the Board. The ship has always been part of the Interlake Steamship fleet.

Wasabi Stories vol.146: “Take a Look at Your Work with the Big Picture”

“Take a Look at Your Work with the Big Picture”
Today’s story-teller is [W:Toshihide Maskawa].
Maskawa was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics lately. The article is about the award ceremony.
The award ceremony was held in Stockholm, Sweden. It was his first trip to overseas. So he got a passport for the occasion.
Surely he had had invitations from other countries many times in the past. But he does not like speaking English so that he had been resisting all the invitations.
However, this time, it was the award ceremony for the Novel Prize.
It was certainly an honor. He described his feelings how much he wanted to give his speech in Japanese and he was thinking of declining the invitation if they didn’t accept it before he went.
On the day of the award ceremony, he talked about people who helped him and then finally, he said what he wanted to say the most:
“It required more than 30 years and great efforts by researchers to conform the theory. I would like to thank people who supported this grandiose project.”
There was his own way of thinking behind his speech.
“I wanted to send a message that people’s understanding is essential for the promotion of science. Expensive laboratory equipments are necessary to test scientific theory. Therefore, every tax payer’s understanding for science is absolutely necessary.”

Why I Left RedBubble
This may come as a surprise to some of you, but I had an account at RedBubble, a print-on-demand place for artists to share their work and make a mint with their art printed on stickers, phone cases, T-shirts, postcards, etc.
I had an account with them a few years ago, left, and then last year or so came back to them. I wanted to try and get more involved in the community, see what other artists had to offer, and try to actually sell something.
RedBubble is not the first print-on-demand art site that I’ve tried. Years ago I had an account on Zazzle.com, which was by all accounts a failure. The upload system they had was clunky, their storefront systems even more so, and I didn’t even know they had forums (much less how to get to them) until after I left.
Of the two, RedBubble was far superior, though there are still some things lacking that made me leave today.
First, while their storefronts (or profiles, however you want to view it) are nice, they’re not customizable. At least you can sort your works into collections like T-shirts or Fanart, which helps. It just isn’t what I’m looking for.
Second, the people looking at my work on RedBubble were…other people on RedBubble. The website is large, but it’s pretty insular. Everyone knows everyone and if you DO make sales, it’s likely the buyer is another Bubbler. That was the case with my friend Melanie.
Third, though it was relatively easy to share your work on things like Facebook and Twitter, it’s not that much of an improvement. Again, RedBubble is pretty insular, and people outside of the site don’t know what it is.
Fourth, I wasn’t selling ANYTHING. For over a year.
I admit I didn’t market it very well. Even most of my readers will be like, “Woah, you were on RedBubble?”
Honestly, though, I’ve had WAY more success on Storenvy. At least there, I average one sale a month and I would love to boost my sales even more. I can customize the store AND decide what I sell. Win-win!
So, thanks RedBubble, but you were not for me.
Unfortunately this means you won’t be able to get the T-Rex Sissy Fight as a T-shirt…FOR NOW.
(I’ll look elsewhere and if I find a good printer, pre-orders will be coming. Watch out here on the blog, because that’s where I’ll be posting the news!)
If you want to visit my Storenvy store, you can click here or click on the “Shop” link along the top of the page.
Thanks for reading. I hope you found this helpful!

Redbubble is a scam. They are deleting some peoples account for absolutely no reason and then ignore all emails from the artists. I had my account suddenly deleted after 2 years. I had no copyrighted/trademarked arts or tags, had ever been in trouble with them and didn’t break any rules. I got no email about it either. I just got a message, when I tried signing in, saying that the account was no longer active and to contact customer support. I did contact them, twice in the past month, but they didn’t reply. Their website said they would reply within 4 days (which is a slow response time to begin with). It’s been a month and I’m sure they will never reply. This has happened to more people than me. My advice for people considering joining them is this: Don’t.

Yikes! I’m so sorry that happened to you. Hopefully you still have the images you designed so you can take them to a new place (or places) to print. I wish you the best of luck.

[ARCHIVED] First Draft of the Economic Vitality Strategy Update Available for Review
Small towns and rural communities across the United States are struggling because they were built largely on a single economic sector such as agriculture, logging, mining, or manufacturing, all of which have changed significantly over the past several decades due to market forces, technology, or changing circumstances such as resource depletion, globalization, or shifts in consumer preference. Changes in the economic foundations of rural communities often leave local residents without jobs and the community without a healthy tax base. Rather than just simply seeking to attract major employers to replace these lost jobs, different approaches are being adopted to overcome some of these challenges. “This emerging shift toward place based approaches to economic development can go by various names, such as “smart growth economic development” to refer to a strategy that builds upon existing assets, takes incremental actions to strengthen communities, and builds long-term value to attract a range of investments.

SAFETY OF NOTECHNOLOGIES
From the beginning of the 21st century, there has been an increased interest in the development of various nanostructured technical materials, medical and pharmacological preparations, and substances with unique physicochemical and biomedical properties. In this regard, the attention of many researchers in the world was focused on the study of systemic, organ, cellular and subcellular effects of nanomaterials on living systems, on determining their safety for human health, both when used in medicine and at home, as well as in factory production conditions. Of important concern is the possible negative impact of nanoparticles (NPs) from insoluble materials, such as metals, on the health of workers in areas where workers come into direct contact with NPs. As far back as 15-20 years ago, there was no data at all about what possible occupational diseases might lie in wait for such workers, by what methods and means these diseases could be detected, and what additional actions were needed to reduce the risks of developing occupational diseases and disability of workers at such enterprises. There were no official norms for MPS and MPCs for NPs and nanostructured materials. There were not even any scientifically substantiated (not to mention standardized) specialized methods for studying the biological hazard of NPs. Accordingly, the organization of scientific research on the study of the biosafety of NPs, on the development of methods for assessing the toxicity of nanomaterials, was very relevant and promising at the time of the creation of our Laboratory.
Our Laboratory of medical and physical research from the moment of its creation in 2009 has started this study. A scientific review on the problem was prepared, objectives, ways and possible methods for their solutions were formulated (see our publications). It was decided to focus the main efforts of the laboratory on the study of the possible negative impact of metal NPs on the brain and behavior of humans and animals, also due to the fact that the topic of the brain and cognitive functions of the brain is closely related to the topic of intelligent robotics. Immediately in 2009-2010, the first pilot experimental studies were initiated and carried out to study the negative effect of silver NPs (a colloidal solution of pure, uncoated, Ag NPs) on small and young laboratory animals (white mice) at daily "per os" introduction of NPs with potable water. Contrary to a number of known literary data, we did not reveal any serious toxic action of silver NPs on white mice within a month of daily administration of NPs to mice in concentrations up to 100 mg/l. Two generations of posterity from the mice with NPs consumption without any visible defects of their birth and development are traced. It was not revealed also any both antimicrobial and bacteriostatic actions of a colloidal solution of silver NPs on cultures of golden staphylococcus (S.aureus 209 P), of intestinal stick (E.coli 26941) and other microorganisms. This research was spent together with the laboratory of microbiology at MONIKI, and it was shown that due to a low solubility of silver in water there are no chemical mechanisms of antibacterial action of silver NPs. Thus, antibacterial properties of pure silver and silver NPs is the myth. At the same time, for adult mice of comparable age with the average age of the industry workers (46-48 years), a certain toxic action of NPs of silver was recorded. It means that for the professional pathology medicine the study needs to be conducted on animals of a middle and advanced age for whom protective forces of their organism are already reduced.
In 2012-2020, studies on NPs safety continued with the use of NPs of titanium dioxide, cerium, Au, etc. We have observed the strong cardiotoxicity of gold NPs. For silver NPs together with the National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" we found their penetration into the brain of laboratory animals and, apparently, for the first time in the world we have measured quantitative parameters of their penetration into the brain and accumulation there (see our paper here (PDF, 270K)). Therefore, all further investigations were focused on the study of cognitive dysfunctions in animals with chronic consumption of NPs and with controlled penetration of NPs into the brain through the blood-brain barrier. These cognitive experiments were conducted in the laboratory using the water Morris maze and the author's methods of animal's selection and training (see our paper on the method here (PDF, 270K)). The research was supported by RFBR grants No. 15-32-20429_mol_a_ved and No. 19-015-00145a. However, all our results indicated the absence of serious brain dysfunctions in laboratory animals and their offspring with chronic consumption of NPs, rather than a violation of cognitive functions. Violations were found, but they were not as pronounced as originally expected.
In general, over 10 years of research, we made the following conclusions for ourselves (see our final article here (PDF, 402K)):
- The more toxic the NP's material itself, the more toxic the NPs from it. Inert metals such as gold or silver are the least toxic.
- Cognitive disorders in animals can only be detected in a group of "capable" individuals. It requires methods for selecting animals into groups according to their level of the "intelligence".
- In the amounts of oral consumption of NPs that can be realistically imagined in everyday life and (or) at work, casual consumption or even one-time intentional consumption, the effect of NPs on the brain and cognitive abilities of a healthy adult is minimal, if not absent at all.
- The effect of NPs on newly born offspring and on elderly animals is more pronounced.
- What affects the body and cognitive abilities of animals more strongly - the NPs themselves or the material of the NP's protective coating - remains not completely clear yet.
In spite of our results still indicated the absence of serious brain dysfunctions in animals with chronic consumption of NPs, the study also gave the unexpected fundamental new results:
1) It is possible that the relative mass of the animals' brain relative to the body weight is more higher when the more higher animal's cognitive abilities are shown in the Morris test. This can serve as an additional objective criterion for the correct selection of animals in groups according to their level of cognitive abilities based on the performance of the cognitive Morris test (see the article with preliminary results here (PDF, 434K)).
2) The memory of the passage of the water maze in animals is preserved for a long time, probably for the whole life.
3) NPs with a diameter of less than 50 nm, even when consumed orally, easily enter the blood, are carried throughout the body, can overcome the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in the neuronal tissues of the brain. At the same time, their removal from the brain back is difficult.
4) Silver nanoparticles accumulated in the body of females and/or males may possibly contribute to the birth of identical twins (see the article with preliminary results here (PDF, 454K)). NPs less than 50 nm in diameter apparently easily overcome the placental barrier and enter the offspring. In the offspring, silver NPs are also found in the neuronal tissues of the brain, although their path of getting into the offspring with mother's milk is also possible.
Nevertheless, over 10 years of research, in all cases, no peculiarities of the influence of metal NPs on the brain and behavior of animals in comparison with other toxic agents, especially with special potent substances (opiates, etc.), were noticed. Apparently, it also makes no sense for healthy individuals to expect it from other NPs. Thus, from a scientific point of view, the problem loses its intrigue. We have not studied the effect of NPs on animals with various diseases. This problem is of even less interest to us, because it is more medical than physical. Therefore, we close the direction of studying the toxicity of NPs in our Laboratory. Our latest large review (in Russian, sorry) in 3 parts as of statement at the end of 2020 can be found here (PDF, 689K), here (PDF, 668K) and here (PDF, 700K). It details the state of research in the world, our own results, materials and methods, and provides guidance on unexplored issues for the future for those who wish to continue the research. For example, the distribution of accumulating NPs in different parts of the brain has not yet been studied. It is possible that some regularities can be revealed here, for example, the obvious connection between the accumulation of NPs in different parts of the brain versus "intellectual" abilities of animals. Good luck to those who follow us and beyond us!

COVID-Tech: the sinister consequences of immunity passports printable version
10 Jun 2020: posted by the editor - Features, Health, Human Rights, Technology, International
By EDRi.org
In EDRi’s series on COVID-19, COVIDTech, we explore the critical principles for protecting fundamental rights while curtailing the spread of the virus, as outlined in the EDRi network’s statement on the pandemic. Each post in this series tackles a specific issue at the intersection of digital rights and the global pandemic in order to explore broader questions about how to protect fundamental rights in a time of crisis.
In our statement, we emphasised the principle that states must “defend freedom of expression and information”. In this fourth post of the series, we take a look at the issue of immunity passports, their technological appeal and their potentially sinister consequences on social inequality and fundamental rights The dangerous allure of science fiction Early in the coronavirus outbreak, pandemic guilty-pleasure film, Contagion, skyrocketed to the top of streaming sites’ most watched lists. One of the film’s most interesting plot points (mild spoiler alert) is the suggestion of a simple form of immunity passport.
Wristbands for people who have been vaccinated are presented as an obvious solution – and why wouldn’t they be? Various forms of immunity passport are a compelling idea. It sounds as if they could allow us to get back to a more normal life. But the reality is not as clear-cut as in the movies, and the threats to how we live our lives – in particular, the people that could be most harmed by such schemes – mean that we must be incredibly cautious. Consequently, as it stands now, the lack of evidence, combined with the size of the threat that these schemes pose to fundamental rights and freedoms, reveal that - digital or otherwise - immunity passports must not be rolled out.
Immunity passports – science fact says “no” In the last few weeks, “digital immunity passports”, certificates, apps, and other similar ideas have become prominent in discussions about how to exit from global lockdowns, with proposals popping up in Germany, Italy, Colombia, Argentina and the US to name a few. It is a legitimate policy goal to help people find safe ways to exist in this “new normal.”
Yet these proposals are all founded on the dangerous fallacy that we know and understand what coronavirus “immunity” looks like.
The WHO have been clear in their assessment that there is “currently no evidence” for immunity, and that such schemes may in fact incentivise risky behaviour. Medical journal The Lancet adds that such proposals are “impractical, but also pose considerable equitable and legal concerns even if such limitations are rectified.” And science journal Nature warns that immunity passports can actually harm public health. If public health experts are warning against immunity passports – even once we know more about COVID-19 immunity - then why are governments and private actors still pushing them as a silver bullet? Like with controversial tracking and contact tracing apps, there are a host of privacy and data protection concerns when such schemes become “digital”. Individual health data is very sensitive, as is data about our locations and interactions. As it is often with private companies that are aggressively pushing proposals (hello TransferWise and Bolt in Estonia), there are serious concerns about transparency, accountability, and who really benefits. EDRi has warned that public health tools should be open for public scrutiny, and limited in scope, purpose and time.
With private companies rushing to profit from this crisis, can we be confident that this will happen? The lessons learned from digital identification programmes suggests we have reasons to be very sceptical.
A new generation of “haves” and “have nots” The crux of the problem with immunity passports is that they will likely be used to decide who is and who is not allowed to participate in public life: who can go to work – and therefore earn money to support themselves and their family; who can go to school; and even who can stay in hotels. By essence, these “passports” could decide who can and who cannot exercise their fundamental rights.
As both Privacy International (PI) and Access Now explain, the law tells us that any restrictions on people’s rights must be really well justified, meeting high levels of necessity and proportionality, and must also have a clear legal basis. These criteria mean that measures that limit people’s rights must be demonstrably effective, have no viable alternative, not violate the essence of fundamental rights and have clear safeguards. This is a very high set of criteria that need to be met. In the context of an absence of scientific proof, significant risks created by false positives and false negatives and big concerns about data protection and privacy, the idea of digital immunity passports becomes even more sinister. This hasn’t stopped tech companies like Onfido lobbying their national health services or governments to adopt their services for biometric immunity passports.
Biometric surveillance and the risks of hyper-connected data In a wider sense, digital immunity passports – especially those linked to people’s sensitive biometric data – are part of a growing mass surveillance infrastructure which can watch, analyse and control people across time and place. Such systems rely on holding mass databases on people (which in itself comes with big risks of hacking and unauthorised sharing) and are damaging to the very core of people’s rights to dignity, privacy and bodily integrity. The combining of health data with biometric data further increases the ability of states and private actors to build up highly detailed, intrusive and intimate records of people. This can, in turn, have a chilling effect on freedom of expression and assembly by disincentivising people from joining protests, suppressing political opposition, and putting human rights defenders and journalists at risk. As Panoptykon Foundation have explained, such systems are ripe for abuse by governments looking to control people’s freedoms.
Discrimination and unequal impacts creating a segregated society It is foreseeable that the introduction of immunity passports will have unequal and disproportionate impacts upon those that already face the highest levels of poverty, exclusion and discrimination in society.
Those with the smallest safety nets, such as people in precarious and low-waged jobs, will be the ones who are least able to stay at home. The pressure to be allowed outside – and the impacts of not being allowed to do so - will therefore be unequally distributed. We know that some people are more at risk if they do contract the virus: those with underlying health conditions, older people and in the UK,black people.
This inequality of who suffers the most will replicate the already unequal distribution in our societies. And if immunity passports are administered digitally, then those without access to a device will be automatically excluded. This stratification of society by biological and health characteristics, as well as access to tech, is dangerous and authoritarian.
Don’t let science fiction become reality Digital immunity passports are no longer the preserve of science fiction. There is a very real risk that these schemes are putting innovation and appearance over public health, in a move often called “technosolutionism”. Digital and biometric immunity passports not only threaten the integrity of our sensitive bodily and health data, but create a stratified society where those who can afford to prove their immunity will have access to spaces and services that the remainder will not– de facto becoming second class citizens. The New York Times calls this “immunoprivilege.”
When the time comes that we have solid scientific evidence about immunity, it will be up to public health officials to work out how this can translate into certification, and for data protection and privacy authorities and experts to help guide governments to ensure that any measures strictly respect and promote fundamental rights and freedoms.
Until then, let’s rather focus on improving our national health systems, ensuring that research goes into preventing this and future pandemics (despite the push-back from Big Pharma) and that we build a new society free of virus such as COVID-19 and surveillance capitalism.

How to understand the “Two Natures of Christ”? That’s the wrong question.
/ Category 1 Corinthians 7, 2 Corinthians 5, Colossians 1, Research, Romans 5
The “Two Natures of Christ”
The first generation of Christians had no trouble understanding that Jesus was human, and that he was also divine. Arguments only arose subsequently, when the theologians had stopped asking the right questions.
What is the controversy?
Without labouring the (in any case erroneous) point, people have argued about this subject in a few specific ways, broadly taking positions such as follows:
Jesus was completely human and not in any way divine
Jesus was God, and not actually incarnate at all but a spirit – an illusion of flesh and blood
Jesus had a human body but a divine soul (whatever that means)
Jesus really is two people, one human and one divine, at the same time
At various times the church has made pronouncements in an attempt to clarify how the church approaches this, essentially declaring that the “two natures” of Christ are united in one, somehow. They even invented a term which had, it should be noted, been completely unnecessary in the Bible, to describe it: “hypostatic union“.
What if we’re asking the wrong questions?
In response to a similarly frustrating set of traditional controversies, also which gave rise to the invention of new words, I recently wrote this article explaining why the first generation of Christians did not need words like “consubstantial” or “homoousious” to explain how it is that Jesus can be said at the same time both to be separate from and also one with the Father. It is because later commentators were approaching the matter from a completely different angle.
I also wrote another article in an attempt to cut through the confusion and incomprehension that surrounds Jesus’ claim to be the son of God, the misunderstanding of which has had such far reaching implications as to be a key polemic in the religion of Islam, founded by Mohammad in the 7th Century. Mohammad had been taught, in some form, the traditional Christian ideas about this, rather than what I argue is the meaning Jesus was expounding in his own words.
So then, this blog post forms another attempt to clarify what should have been clear from the beginning, but has been muddied by millennia of erroneous contemplation.
I propose that, as with the other issues, we are once again asking the wrong questions.
What is the right question?
Here is a list of some valid questions and their answers:
Was Jesus in some way divine?
Was Jesus a real man?
Did Jesus have the nature of a man?
Did Jesus have the nature of God?
So far so good. The next question is the key one, because people (theologians) have been asking all sorts of unhelpful questions, based on a false premise, for at least 1500 years. The premise is the key. Let’s ask the right question as follows:
How can this be so?
Ok. Now in this question we are bringing no assumptions to the table. There is no premise. We are simply asking how this list of four answers can be reconciled together.
What is the answer?
The answer, at least the premise of the answer, is this:
What you previously thought about the nature of God, and the nature of humanity, was flawed.
That’s actually the appropriate premise under which to consider what Jesus represents in the grand drama of God’s great story, and of humanity’s journey in it, because the revelation of Jesus subverts the categories under which God and humanity had been contemplated.
Hopefully this makes it clear why it is then so disastrous to use those very categories as the axioms by which to define Jesus! No wonder the result is, essentially, not reconcilable.
The fuller correct answer, which presupposes the premise above, is:
Humanity was created in the image and likeness of God. Jesus is the phenomenon that forces us to concede that God was never entirely different from humanity in the first place, and that ultimately, humanity forms part of the answer to the universal question “what-or-whom-is-God?”.
Does that sound shocking? It should.
This is what the first Christians were saying. This is the scandal for which the Jews were hunting them out. This is the central argument of Christianity: that God and humanity are, in some essential way, and as demonstrated in the whole Jesus sequence, not actually completely distinct concepts from one another. Humanity is, in the words of the apostle, “reconciled with God” (Romans 5:10; 1 Corinthians 7:11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20; Colossians 1:22) through Jesus’ ministry. This “reconciliation” is a joining together of things that had been torn apart. Humanity is being joined with God through [the person of] Christ.
Once we understand this, whole passages on Scripture start to suddenly make more sense. Passages like this, which primarily is talking about Jews and Gentiles, but then talks about the two groups combined, and what it means to be reconciled to God:
He has abolished the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace, and might reconcile both groups to God in one body through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it. So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.
– Ephesians 2:15-22
… and this theological bombshell has been obscured endlessly by those who assume the wrong premise, and then try to reconcile the irreconcilable, eventually retreating to a position of self-professed ignorance when pressed. In the attempt they invent strange new jargon, and generally just inflate the size of theological textbooks at the expense of common sense.
We need to stop trying to figure out how it is that Jesus has “two natures”, and start being amazed at this scandal:
That in Jesus,
the human condition has been revealed to be,
in some critically vital way,
part of the fullest understanding of what the nature of God actually is.
I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
– Ephesisans 3:18-21

Book Review #25 (Beyond the Bright Sea)
Posted on 02/19/2021 by Mary Campbell
Book: Beyond the Bright Sea
Author: Lauren Wolk
Genre: Historical Fiction/Mystery
The other people on Cuttyhunk were are afraid to touch Crow. They think she came from a neighboring island, Penikese. They think she’s sick. Crow decides that she wants to prove, once and for all, where she came from, but she starts to dive into a mystery much bigger than she imagined.
I didn’t really enjoy this book at first, but as I got into the second half it held my interest more. I think that it was a good book, just a little more slower paced than I’m used to.
Since this is a historical fiction book, I read it for history. It didn’t actually have much historical content, outside of a few facts about Penikese. It was interesting to see what life could be like living away from the mainland.
If you like slow-paced mysteries, you should read this book.

Galician emigrant Rufino López receives 2013 Spanish-American International Award
Emigrant Rufino Lopez, born in Cedeira, Galicia, Spain in 1955, was awarded on Wednesday with the 2013 Spanish-American International Award by the Spanish Benevolent Society of New York.
Graduated in literature by the Lehman College of CUNY in 1976, Rufino Lopez has preserved his admiration to the great figures of Spanish literary and philosophical tradition, as Unamuno and Ortega y Gasset, or Cervantes, while shaping the Solera Restaurant, located in the city of New York for more than twenty years, near the United Nations Headquarters. Rufino is the only son of Galician Francisco Lopez, who emigrated to New York City as a construction worker in 1971.
While studying, Rufino Lopez worked in Italian and French restaurants, finding no Spanish restaurants that could represent the high value of Spanish cuisine in the Big Apple. In 1987 he founded his first restaurant, called Alcalá, in the Upper West Side in Manhattan, and in 1991 founded Solera Restaurant. Since its opening, in the days when the paella was made ??in Manhattan in a pot with a lid instead of the regional authentic way as made in Valencia, with a pan, the Executive Chef of Solera Restaurant at that time, Dominick Cerrone, began incorporating Spanish regional dishes prepared with fidelity to its Spanish origin, one of the marks of the restaurant.
The history of the Spanish-American International Award began in 2012, when the writer and filmmaker Artur Balder was awarded. Artur Balder, now a US citizen, directed the documentary Little Spain, which displayed the historical memory of the Spanish district of Manhattan. According to the website of the organization, the award was created with the mission to promote the image of Spanish emigration in the United States, and is given to promote the work of those who are contributing to the consolidation of the Spanish-American identity in the United States. The Spanish-American International Prize was created to support emigrants who have made an outstanding contribution to the Spanish-American identity and the American heritage.

Prolusion. One of the most prolific contemporary progressive bands, Mexico's Cast, is back with an output, which became their first double studio album and the first with lyrics in their native Spanish (which is just great, keeping in mind their English). Counting "Infinity" (2002), which, as far as I know, features several previously unreleased tracks and a couple of new, "Al-Bandaluz" is the eleventh studio album by Cast. If you wish to read the reviews of all of the band's previous studio albums (except for "Infinity", which was released as a limited edition and without a promotional campaign), click >here.
Analysis. For a start, here are quotes from one review of "Al-Bandaluz", which, by the way, has been written by a very established reviewer. "[This is] complex keyboard-heavy Neo Progressive with lots of odd meters. [:] The arrangements load up an embarrassment of riches, maybe even too much at times. If I have one complaint it would be to wish for more moments of quiet and simplicity." As you can see, the author roughly contradicts himself, and of course, "Al-Bandaluz" has nothing to do with Neo Progressive. (Does anyone really consider Cast being on the same stage as Neo bands: Arena, Jadis, Fruitcake, etc?) If someone's expectations for this album won't come true, it's not the case to confuse readers. Even though one used to call Neo everything created within the Prog Rock genre after the seventies, then he should also use the term regarding all the contemporary RIO performers for example, which would be ridiculous. Neo is just a sub-genre of Classic Progressive, its more accessible manifestation, which concerns only the oldest three genres of Prog: Art-Rock, Prog-Metal, and Jazz-Fusion and doesn't concern RIO and Fifth Element. After all, Neo was 'invented' not in the 1980s (if it has ever been invented): just recall the Canadian band Saga, for instance, though the music of such earlier bands as Roxy Music, Kayak, and even Procol Harum can in some (if not many) ways be regarded as Neo, too. An accessible Prog was more or less recently labeled Neo just in order to shortly define it, while it has existed since the earliest days of the genre. Back to the hero of this review, there are, in reality, lots of quiet moments on "Al-Bandaluz", but as for simplicity, the album is free of it indeed. I can assert that Cast's new work is as complex and diverse as any of the classic albums by Genesis, Camel, and Yes - of course, those released in the first half of the 1970s. Furthermore, this is the most complex and the most freshly sounding album by Cast, and by originality, this is one of the most unique Classic Symphonic Art-Rock albums released after the heyday of the genre. Well, "Al-Bandaluz" is a concept album (its title is part of the lyrics of all of the songs here), each of the parts (discs) of which features five tracks. What's especially notable is that all ten of the album's tracks have an obvious classical feel to them.
Synopsis - Disc 1. Three out of the five tracks here are full instrumental compositions, and two of them: the 17-minute Encrucijada (3) and Damajuana (5) have a very strong reference to Classical Music. The first of them is especially rich in 'classical' arrangements represented by the constantly developing interplay between passages of acoustic piano, those of a string ensemble (sounding very lush), and solos of flute. The genre essence of this epic is nothing else but Contemporary Classical Music performed both traditionally and by dints of Progressive Rock. Both of the said compositions are just incredibly original and can't be compared with classic Prog of the 1970s, something else, and even everything we've heard from Cast until now. Though perhaps the latter of the said pieces, representing Classical Music performed exclusively by dints of Progressive Rock, has a bit in common with >X Religion:-), which has a similar stylistic disposition. However, quite a sharp deviation towards Classical Music isn't the only innovation Cast disclosed on their new output. Another concerns Jazz-Fusion, and elements of this genre can be found almost everywhere on Disc 1, though they're especially evident on the tracks where a guest wind instrumentalist plays not only flute and clarinet, but also saxophone. The music on both of the songs here: Jerezcali and Lamento del Gato (2 & 4) and the remaining instrumental piece Viajero Inmovil (1) is a highly diverse and complex, mostly intensive Classic Symphonic Art-Rock with elements of Classical Music, Prog-Metal, and Jazz-Fusion. And while the songs here have something in common with those from the earlier Cast albums, the instrumental compositions don't arouse any associations at all. By the way, Jerezcali features something sounding not unlike a real violoncello, though this instrument isn't credited in the album's booklet.
Synopsis - Disc 2. Although the second part of the album is free of elements of Jazz-Fusion, it also features highly innovative works that are atypical for Cast, as well as Symphonic Progressive in general. Performed with piano, flute, acoustic guitar, and a string ensemble, Viento and La Ballesta (6 & 8) have a distinct acoustically symphonic sound, and Francisco Hernadez's almost operatic and very touching singing is eminently unique here. These two I perceive as romances sung to the accompaniment of Chamber Classical Music, which is both complex and very beautiful. Until now, I've never heard anything like this within the framework of Progressive Rock. Another epic on the album: the 22-minute El Puente (7) consists of persistently changing, highly diverse and complex arrangements and represents Classical Music performed by dints of Progressive Rock with elements of Prog-Metal, though there are episodes typical for a pure Classical Music, too. This is also somewhat the benefit performance of the band's main man Alfonso Vidales whose mastery of playing piano and other keyboards is just mind-blowing. He is undoubtedly the most virtuosi keyboardist on today's progressive scene, and what's especially significant is that the distinct originality of his style of playing is beyond any doubts. Although the stylistic definition of both of the instrumental pieces on Disc 2: Ensamble Al-Maya and Ansia - Anguista - Desesperacion (9 & 10), which is Classic Symphonic Art-Rock with elements of Classical Music and Prog-Metal, sounds already familiar to you, they'll hardly remind you of anything you've heard on the album before. This remark is especially topical regarding the first of them, which, in addition, is just filled with flavors of music of the East.
Conclusion. Cast is certainly the only contemporary Symphonic Progressive band and one of the few bands in the history of genre whose music is getting more original, wiser, and stronger with years, and not the wrong way out. I know that I experience this sensation not for the first time in the new millennium, but at least for the moment I think that "Al-Bandaluz" is the best Symphonic Art-Rock album since UK's "Danger Money".

Fractured Fairy Tales -- Leaping Beauty
A blast from the past, here's a quick Fractured Fairy Tales. I don't recall why it came up in conversation, but I didn't remember these shorts at all until I started watching some of the clips that are conveniently up on YouTube.
This particular one is great....I sure hope no one ever casts a spell on me that makes me boring! Oh noes! The anti-quirky!
"Why are you crying?" "Because you're standing on my foot!" Hehe.
How delightful! I really enjoyed that.

Cooley Panoramas
For people who want to be reminded of what it was like to be at Cooley, or for those who were not able to get there for the event but would like to "experience" it anyway, Roger Hamlin has produced some major photographs which can be purchased and wall mounted. Beware however, you will need a big wall....

Stop Foreclosure Amarillo! | 806-359-7653
Wednesday, February 5th, 2014
It simply amazes me how people react when they are facing foreclosure. It’s like they become zombies and just ignore the facts. They just won’t take the action needed to save themselves!
Last week a man called me on January 2nd and told me that he was facing foreclosure. The bank was going to auction his house on the February 4th. He told me that he was trying to get the house refinanced but wasn’t sure if he could get approved. I told him that it is very rare that anyone gets approved for a refinance when they are behind on their payments. I also told him the same thing I tell everyone else. Make sure you have a good back up plan.
I went and met with him and made him an offer on his house. He was fortunate enough to have enough equity to be able to sell if he wanted to. But he wanted to wait and see if he could get the house refinanced. I warned him that if he wanted to sell we would need to allow about two weeks before the sale date just to give ourselves plenty of time. But he didn’t seem concerned.
As the sale date approached I kept contacting him to remind him that he needed to do something. I told him that waiting until the last minute was very risky. In order to buy a house in foreclosure you have to get the bank to send you a payoff. Banks usually drag their feet and take anywhere from 3-7 business days to get it to you. This presents a real problem.
Finally he called me 8 days before the sale and said he wanted to sell. We immediately sent a payoff request to the bank. This was on a Monday and the sale date was on the following Tuesday. The bank responded to our request on Tuesday and told us that it would take 4-5 business days to get the payoff. So now we were hoping to have it by Friday or Monday.
Finally we received the payoff Monday at 4:45. The bank informed us that they would not accept a wire transfer. They had to have a cashiers check on by 5:00 that same day or they would foreclose. We called the bank and begged and pleaded but they just did not care. The following morning at 10:00 the bank foreclosed on his house. He didn’t get a dime. To make matters worse he received an eviction notice the next day. I wish I could say that this was an isolated event but it is not. I see this all the time. If he would have just listened to me and taken action he would have had money in his pocket and plenty of time to find a new place to stay.
If you are facing foreclosure call me. You may have more options than you think. Call 806-359-7653 or visit me online at StopForeclosureAmarillo.com

I go to prepare a place for you...
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”
~ John 14:1 -7
It's hard to believe how time continues to move on, and when we have lost someone close to us, how time changes.
My stepmother was a dedicated elementary teacher, a fun-loving person, and an organizational queen. She would often leave notes for us, letting us know what she had planned for dinner, what to pick up from the store if she needed something, and even notes on notes about when bills needed to be placed in the mail.
She absolutely loved her grandchildren. It was so funny, for someone who had never given birth to a child, the number of children through her years of teaching, two stepchildren, and then grandchildren, seemed to complete her life.
Over a decade ago now, she learned that she had a rare blood disease that seemed to change without any real notice into leukemia, and she died. It was an absolute shock for many, including me. Although I had made several trips to see her during her treatments, nothing really prepared me for the phone call I received from my dad letting me know that she had died.
To this day I can tell you exactly where I was, and what I was doing at that moment.
When events in our lives happen that change us, we remember them.
It's strange how the mind can sometimes team up with the heart to work through our grief. For the next year, when one of our children would do something interesting, or say something that made me want to share with her, I would even catch myself starting to pick up the phone and dial the number to home.
Slowly over time, I realized that she was never going to answer the phone again.
I can't imagine what it must have been like for those who watched Jesus die, be placed into the tomb, and then be told that he was gone.
Grief has an interesting way of changing you. The disciples are so upset that when Jesus does once again appear to them, they only see a stranger.
When they realize he has really risen, he disappears from their sight.
I can't even begin to wonder what I would ask if I had been part of these initials visits by Jesus after rising from the dead. What would you ask, say, or do?
Being who Jesus is, he tries to comfort those that he sees. Jesus has just been publicly beaten and crucified right in front of everyone! There is no denying, these people have just gone through a terrible experience, and the first thing Jesus says is not to let their hearts be troubled.
It's like a friend saying, "It is okay" when your own world seems to be falling apart.
He then tells those present that he has seen heaven, and that there is a great mansion, with many rooms. So many rooms that there is one for each of them... in fact, for all of humanity. Not just then, but even now, and in the future!
I always seemed to be challenged after Easter as a pastor, because the "big day" had occurred. On Easter we told one another "He is Risen!"
Well that is true, but Easter doesn't end there. There is more ministry, more lessons, and so much more to the story!
He returns with the message of hope. Don't let your heart be troubled. You are going to be with me in heaven, and it is so much more than I can even begin to explain.
While the Easter story is about the ONE who rose from the dead; the Easter story is also about our story with the ONE who came so we might experience life eternally.
I cannot deny that I still experience grief when I have lost someone I love, I do embrace the risen Christ in the days following resurrection. Those, are perhaps the most important of all the days of Jesus' ministry, because those are the ones that teach us that there is so much more than just living and dying. |

Drug Inspection Team Carries out Monitoring over Customs
The Drug Inspection Team, which has been organized according to Kim Jong Eun’s instructions in January of this year, has been reportedly carrying out the examination of customs examiners since mid June.
A source from Hyesan, Yangkang Province reported, “Seeing these inspections over customs examiners, we feel that this drug inspection is being implemented sincerely and properly.”
Regarding the history of inspections over customs examiners, he explained, “Examiners tend to come from affluent families, who have wealth, power and a good family background, so it is generally understood that they evaded any inspections. However, they have also been going through inspections this time.”
Since the customs examiners are a kind of supporter for drug smugglers by receiving bribes to allow the smugglers to cross the border, they became one of the targets of the drug inspections.
However, general people have also not been excluded from the inspections, so their complaints are also quite serious. The source added, “People say ‘As the one who started producing and expanding drugs is the state, I don’t know why they try to catch innocent people and punish us.’” According to the source, people have become discontent at the ridiculous situation that after the authorities earn money as much as they want, they punish the people.
Since mid-2010, North Korean authorities have stated that they would inspect drug use among the general people. In August, 2010, the decree, “On reinforcing crackdowns on drugs,” was handed down with content that stated that drug users would be seriously punished.
Before that time, the punishment of drug use was comparatively generous, but it has become tougher because the situation where children as well as adults use drugs has aroused authority’s attention.
In addition to the activities of the Drug Inspection Team, a “narcotics squad” has been organized by the People’s Safety Agency last October in order to monitor and watch systematic drug use.
However, since those who monitor drug use are mostly drug users themselves, their activities have been making slow progress.
Thereafter, in January, according to Kim Jong Eun’s instruction, the authorities have declared a war against drug use by organizing the Drug Inspection Team, which consists of agents of the National Security Agency, the Defense Security Command of the Army, and the Central Prosecutor Office.
The participation of the NSA implies that the drug issue is not a mere social issue anymore, but is now seen as a threat to the regime. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11642 | {"url": "http://www.stopnkcrimes.org/bbs/board.php?bo_table=human&wr_id=12&page=74&page=74", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.stopnkcrimes.org", "date_download": "2023-03-31T08:41:48Z", "digest": "sha1:D7LGXQC4LFPGUYKTCE5AMILLRJNA3RKI"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2598, 2598.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2598, 3038.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2598, 12.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2598, 37.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2598, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2598, 259.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2598, 0.42650104]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2598, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2598, 0.04592315]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2598, 0.01405811]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2598, 0.03373946]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2598, 0.02952202]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2598, 0.00621118]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2598, 0.13457557]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2598, 0.52173913]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2598, 5.15458937]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2598, 4.92106304]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2598, 414.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 260, 1.0], [260, 440, 1.0], [440, 747, 1.0], [747, 938, 1.0], [938, 1389, 1.0], [1389, 1654, 1.0], [1654, 1853, 1.0], [1853, 2045, 1.0], [2045, 2170, 1.0], [2170, 2463, 1.0], [2463, 2598, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 260, 0.0], [260, 440, 0.0], [440, 747, 0.0], [747, 938, 0.0], [938, 1389, 0.0], [1389, 1654, 0.0], [1654, 1853, 0.0], [1853, 2045, 0.0], [2045, 2170, 0.0], [2170, 2463, 0.0], [2463, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 57, 8.0], [57, 260, 32.0], [260, 440, 25.0], [440, 747, 46.0], [747, 938, 33.0], [938, 1389, 75.0], [1389, 1654, 41.0], [1654, 1853, 31.0], [1853, 2045, 32.0], [2045, 2170, 19.0], [2170, 2463, 45.0], [2463, 2598, 27.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 260, 0.0], [260, 440, 0.0], [440, 747, 0.0], [747, 938, 0.0], [938, 1389, 0.0], [1389, 1654, 0.03125], [1654, 1853, 0.0], [1853, 2045, 0.0], [2045, 2170, 0.0], [2170, 2463, 0.0], [2463, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 260, 0.0], [260, 440, 0.0], [440, 747, 0.0], [747, 938, 0.0], [938, 1389, 0.0], [1389, 1654, 0.0], [1654, 1853, 0.0], [1853, 2045, 0.0], [2045, 2170, 0.0], [2170, 2463, 0.0], [2463, 2598, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 57, 0.10526316], [57, 260, 0.04433498], [260, 440, 0.02777778], [440, 747, 0.00977199], [747, 938, 0.0052356], [938, 1389, 0.01330377], [1389, 1654, 0.02264151], [1654, 1853, 0.00502513], [1853, 2045, 0.04166667], [2045, 2170, 0.008], [2170, 2463, 0.06143345], [2463, 2598, 0.02962963]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2598, 0.98802477]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2598, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2598, 0.3142727]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2598, -51.8433491]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2598, 87.05664032]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2598, -29.62559801]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2598, 15.0]]} |

STONEHENGE and the MAN WHO BOUGHT IT
April 7, 2021 April 22, 2021 Leave a comment
We’ve had the opportunity to visit Stonehenge a couple of times. The first time was quite a few years ago when Stonehenge was not the massive tourist attraction it is today. Yes, there was a modest entrance fee, but the site was quite accessible. A small fence, which you could easily step over, surrounded the stones and there was a path which circled the stones for walking. You could spend an entire afternoon just enjoying the beauty of the area with its grassy knolls and meadows.
Today, however, a visit to Stonehenge is quite different. Tickets to England’s most popular tourist attractions must be booked in advance … and the cost for a family of four is a hefty £54.90. There is a new and impressive Visitor’s Center with a ticket office, museum, gift shop and coffee shop. The museum has changing exhibits featuring contemporary art, photographs, and treasures from museums around the world.
Just outside the Visitor’s Center is a fascinating new exhibit of neolithic, or stone age, houses. These yurt-style homes with their thatched roofs are based on houses found during the 2006 excavations in this area. Carbon dating showed that the original buildings were built around 2,500 BC, the same time period the stones were being erected. This fascinating addition to Stonehenge is one which I can’t wait to see.
Stonehenge has been a curiosity since the beginning of recorded time. Studies and surveys have led researchers to speculate that this circle of stones could have been anything from a Roman fort to a Druid monument. What we have learned is that the people who built Stonehenge were farmers and knowing the changing of the seasons would be very important to them. The layout of Stonehenge is positioned in relation to the solstices, or the sun’s movement. In addition to knowing what to expect with the changing seasons, Stonehenge also played an important part in the lives of these early people spiritually. The cremated remains of over 150 people have been found buried here.
Today, this ancient monument is a registered UNESCO World Heritage site and is managed by the English Heritage, a registered charity that manages over 400 of England’s historic buildings and monuments. But, did you know that at one time these ancient stones were privately owned?
King Henry VIII
In 1540 King Henry VIII took ownership of Stonehenge and the surrounding land from the monks at Amesbury Abbey. Many names and transfers of ownership occurred over the next 300 years until the Antrobus family of Cheshire bought the estate in 1824. Always curious, souvenir hunters plagued these prehistoric stones, chiseling chips out of the blocks, etching their names into the stones, digging holes in the ground, until one day in 1901 one of the enormous uprights and its lintel crashed to the ground.
Edmund Antrobus was forced to fence off approximately 20 acres around the monument, hire a guard, and prop up the other stones with wooden planks and poles. Meanwhile, the construction of a new railway and roads brought many new visitors to the area. Continued concern for the safety of the visitors grew until Edmund, with the help of the Society of Antiquaries, organized a restoration of the neglected ruins, causing him to charge a one-shilling admission fee.
Edmund’s son, the last heir to the Antrobus family, was killed fighting in France during World War I. And when Edmund died a few months later, the family decided to put the estate, which included Stonehenge, up for sale.
Cecil and his daughter, Mary, on board RMS Aquitania, May 1926
Now let’s meet Cecil Chubb. Cecil was born to a leathersmith in 1876 in a small village not far from Stonehenge. Cecil studied hard, worked hard and became a school teacher at the age of 14. Chubb continued his studies and eventually became a lawyer, opening his own law firm. In 1902 Chubb married Mary Finch. When Mary’s uncle, Dr. Corbin Finch, died in 1910, he left the Fisherton House Asylum, a psychiatric hospital near Salisbury, which had been in the family for years, to his daughter. But she wasn’t capable of managing it, so she employed the help of Cecil. Chubb then decided to give up his law firm, and he and Mary moved back to Salisbury to run the hospital.
An astute businessman, Cecil made the hospital a great success, growing it to the largest private hospital in all of England. He introduced new treatments, made the patients lives better and easier, returning most to their homes. He also worked closely with military casualties, using his own home when necessary to accommodate soldiers returning from the war.
On September 21, 1915, a local auction was set to take place in Salisbury. The auction by Knight Frank & Rutley estate agents included “Lot 15. Stonehenge with about 30 acres, 2 rods, 37 perches of adjoining downland.” In the catalogue, Lot 15 was also described as “a place of sanctity dedicated to the observation or adoration of the sun”. Bidding began at £5000, but there seemed to be little interest. The auctioneer, Sir Howard Frank, was not at all impressed and temporarily stopped the bidding. He voiced his disappointment and started again. Although Cecil had no intention of bidding, in his own words: “while I was in the room I thought a Salisbury man ought to buy it and that is how it was done”. The highest bid was a mere £6600 and it was from Sir Cecil Herbert Edward Chubb.
Lot 15 – Stonehenge, with a marginal note recording the price it sold for.
Legend says Cecil was sent by his wife to buy some household items, dining chairs, curtains, etc. Legend also says Cecil was looking for a birthday gift for Mary. We’ll never know if either of these are true. But Cecil did buy Lot 15 and Stonehenge. There were many, however, who accused Chubb of snatching up this land with its tourist-attracting monument as another money-making business venture, which he vehemently denied. He told The Times on October 7, 1915:
“Before the sale I never discussed Stonehenge with a view to purchase with anyone, and at the time of going to the sale I did not even know any figures as the receipts. I think I said before that when I went into the sale-room, I had no intention of buying, and I certainly did not look upon it as an investment”
Chubb purchased the land on a whim, unaware that he would become involved in a number of political arguments about public access, entrance fees, and abuse of the land. Cecil owned the land for three years and then in 1918, he contacted the government department ‘Office of Works’ interested in antiquities and offered the land and the monument to the country as a gift. But . . . he had three provisions. The first was that local residents should continue to have free access to it. The second was that entrance fee should never be more than a shilling. Lastly, that the stones remain in their present condition and no building be erected within 400 yards of the stones themselves.
In his letter announcing the donation of Stonehenge, Chubb wrote:
“Stonehenge is perhaps the best known and the most interesting of our national monuments and has always appealed strongly to the British imagination. To me, who was born close to it and during my boyhood and youth visited it at all hours of the day and night, under every conceivable condition of weather—in driving tempests of hail, rain and snow, fierce thunderstorms, glorious moonlight and beautiful sunshine, it always has had an inexpressible charm. I became owner of it with a deep sense of pleasure, and had contemplated that it might remain a cherished possession of my family for long years to come. It has, however, been pressed upon me that the nation would like to have it for its own, and would prize it most highly.”
For his generous gift to the nation, Cecil was rewarded with a Knighthood. Ultimately, perhaps Cecil was relieved to step out of the quagmire of arguments and debates as to who shall own this world heritage site. The government took possession and in 1919 launched the first of many extensive renovations of Stonehenge, which began with straightening the stones and re-setting them in concrete. Now over a century later, the work continues with the new visitor’s center and neolithic houses.
Stonehenge may be the best known prehistoric site in the world. Although the entrance fee is considerably more than a shilling, I hope some day you get the opportunity to visit. This “place of sanctity dedicated to the observation or adoration of the sun” will be a memorable experience.

Cycling in Languedoc
Languedoc is a perfect place to travel by bicycle, whether it be for weeks on end or day rides from your B&B. The scenery is incredibly varied, distances between towns are short, and the weather is nearly unbeatable (300 days of sun a year in Montpellier, for example). On top of that, like the rest of France, cyclists can nearly always choose low-traffic departementale roads for piece of mind and peace and quiet. Languedoc has a lot of tourists, but nothing near more popular areas like Provence or the Loire. Even in the height of summer you can find quiet country roads to roll on!
The options are endless, and jumping on your bike from almost anywhere in Languedoc will be rewarding. However, there is at least one justifiably popular cycling route (#1 below), as well as others that are ideal for two wheels. Following are ideas only. If you would like something with more detail, or a custom-made route for your holiday, check out the link at the bottom of the page.
1. Canal du Midi (blue on the map)
This 240-kilometer UNESCO World Heritage site is a wonderful way to spend a few days of easy riding. You can ride the whole distance from Toulouse to the Mediterranean along the canal, but only portions of it are paved (notably the first 50km leaving Toulouse). Therefore, a mountain bike or sturdy hybrid would be recommended to tackle the protruding tree routes of the tow path itself.
Pros: flat, easy, shaded.
Cons: possibly crowded, monotonous, flat!
2. Sentier Cathare (orange on the map)
Actually a walking trail, but easily converted into an excellent, history-filled cycling route (about 150 km), the Sentier Cathare travels through the foothills of the Pyrenees, passing many ruined castles and ancient villages that, 800 years ago, formed the heart of the Cathar region.
Pros: oozing with history, wonderful nature
Cons: not an easy ride in the woods, accommodation might be an issue…book ahead
3. Roman Languedoc (red on the map)
There are lots of Roman sites in Languedoc, so this pretty easy route is certainly not the only one to choose. However, it passes by some main sites and is an excellent primer on the vestiges of Roman Gaul. It is also a loop, starting and ending in Nîmes, Arles, or Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Highlights include the coliseum and temple of Nîmes, the forum of Arles, some amazing, out-of-the-way ruins near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and incredible Pont du Gard.
Pros: a near overdose of Roman history, excellent hotel and restaurant options.
Cons: many tourists in the summer, traffic correspondingly heavy
4. Les Cévennes (purple on the map)
Feel like a little exercise? Well, this 2 or 3-day route through the Cévennes Mountains (part of the ancient Massif Central) won’t disappoint. This area has the added benefit of being one of the least visited regions in France (but well known to locals) and offers spectacular scenery and lush, green countryside – something of a rarity in the south. This route starts in Alès, near Nîmes, and immediately hits the hills of the Cévennes National Park. There is nothing flat (but wonderful paysage) till you hit Florac, the next ‘major’ town, near the center of the park. From Florac, it is a gentle downhill ride, following the beautiful Tarn Gorge to Millau.
Pros: outstanding scenery, way off the beaten track
Cons: only for those fit enough to tackle real mountains, remote - you might loose your cell signal!
5. Gifts of the Sun - Beaches and Vineyards (yellow on the map)
If you’d like to hit the sea, there are plenty of long, sandy beaches on Languedoc – some virtually empty, if you look hard. Vineyards? Well, close your eyes and toss a stone…you are bound to hit one! Your route begins in La Grande Motte, a 60s-style beach resort town. Enjoy the long beach outside of town before heading inland to Montpellier, the lively capital of Languedoc. It’s a short ride, but Montpellier is well worth a night’s stay. From Montpellier you head west on cycling paths (surrounded by vines of course!) before cutting down towards the Mediterranean again to Sète – interesting port town with yes, white-sand beaches. Follow the voie verte cycling path along the beach to the Greek town (well, origins at least) of Agde, where this route ends. If you have the energy though you can pick up Route #1 above and head up to Toulouse!
As I said above, these routes are merely ideas. Good ideas, but still just ideas! If you are planning a cycling vacation in Languedoc there isn’t really that much on the web, but you are welcome to check out this cycling blog:
http://gerrypatt.wordpress.com
It is packed with rides, mapped out with descriptions and pictures, that may help in deciding where to go. There is also some practical information and a custom-made cycling map service, if you’d like a route to call your own.
Bonne Route!

Let our dementia guide you through the inner sanctum of gaming and other transgressions.
Here's the downside of a webpage -- you have to spend time on it. That's why I could never get into all the blogging nonsense. Free time is an oxymoron. So I've been through with my stint at Terminal Reality for some time. Aeon Flux bombed, as expected, and the Bloodrayne movie was trash, as expected, and Spy Hunter 3... well, who knows?
I've been at Crystal Dynamics for the past 8 months now, and it's a miraculously far cry from where I've worked in the past. More importantly, I've been doing well here, staying on schedule, and not been lied to all the time by my superiors or treated as cannon fodder. And while not everything has been announced yet, there's sort of been a formal statement about TR8. Nothing more to say on that front until something is meant to be said.
Anyway, I finally closed out the GI Tutorial, which because it's finished is now up on the tutorials page. It's a book in itself. Have fun. You might notice the forums are down, if you care... Well, it's been crazy, and I haven't had the time to restore them -- I figure it's just as well if I start them all over again, assuming anybody joins.

I've been medium-busy over the past few weeks since one of the current-gen console projects at work is approaching gold. In any case, I added a code section to the site, although there's only one entry in there right now. That will hopefully change in coming months. I'm occasionally doing some research on the side in my spare time, so I cleaned up and commented some code from which I often branch, figuring it could come in handy for others trying to delve into the same area. Happy coding, and to those wondering, CINAC is not dead -- it's just on the back burner.
Has it really been nearly a year since my last update? That's just plain sad. Well, that's really my fault. I was getting too hung up in the job-hunting, in the running around for interviews, the translating, the odd-commissions. Plus a major *mechanical* hard drive failure lost me a few days of progress on the GI intro. Honest! Anyway, I've been working at my current job for the past few months, and tensions are a bit high right now because of the pressures prior to E3. Anyway, I have internet again, so working on the site is more possible. If you've been to our forums before, you might notice a change. Mainly this was due to security reasons, but all our users and old data are still there. It's scary to think how radically different the very old PS3 and Xbox2 rumors are from the range of info we know now.
I'm trying... God help me, I'm trying. Anyway, the Global Illumination intro is taking longer than I'd initially intended. Primarily because I've been squeezing so much in in the middle. Anyway, it's still not really done, but I figure it's a valuable enough resource, that I should let people see it even in incomplete form. Since it's not really complete, it's not yet listed on the tutorials page, just here.
Well, a little more time to work on the site has appeared, and so one more step forward has been made to clean up and update the design. And more importantly, we have a new article! "Weighted Color Accumulation Blending". We haven't forgotten the content, everyone. We're still here.
Happy New Year to all our visitors. And with the new year comes a new site design! We're moving along... step by step. Tell us what you think.
Yet more forum sections. A new tutorial has been added -- Discrete Wavelet Transform. Go to the Articles/Tutorials link on the left to take a look.
More forums have been added. Line-plane intersection tutorial has been added. Click here to see the tutorial page. More docs coming!

Queer Britain Museum ‘An Overdue Resource’
Frederick, Maryland has received many museums to supply an attention-grabbing menu for the lovers of American history. For instance, The Henry Ford has a Curator of Transportation, a Curator of Public Life, a Curator of Decorative Arts, etc. The nineteenth century also introduced a proliferation of science museums with roots in technical and industrial heritage museums. Lastly, museum exhibits can typically spark significant and informed conversations. Much like the National Building Museum, the building of the Schifferstadt is a historic structure, built in 1758, and subsequently also an embodiment of historic preservation and restoration.
The usage of genuine artifacts is employed by most, if not all, museums but the degree to which and the intention can fluctuate enormously. Tate Modern is often the perfect and most well-known place to try first with extraordinary trendy art enclosed in a novel constructing. It is widely admired by its friends throughout the world for the vary and relevance of its exhibitions, for its modern use of its growing Assortment, for its award-winning schooling and group programme and for its visitor-centered ethos and services.

Rebuild Homes in Haiti
Vania and her husband have six children. They lost everything in the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that struck southern Haiti in August 2021—but at least they all were unharmed. Then, just a few days later, dogs attacked and killed most of their cattle. Struggling with homelessness and with no means of income, the family was forced to separate. Vania sent her two older children to stay with friends while she and her husband crowded together with the younger kids in a makeshift shelter. But, thanks to the generosity of friends like you, Compassion was able to provide a temporary shelter that allowed the family to reunite. They also received psychological, spiritual and economic support. “I lost my house with everything in the earthquake, but God preserved my family,” Vania says. “The Lord ... heard our cries and responded through our Compassion family.” Thank you for helping families like Vania’s in Haiti recover from a terrifying crisis by rebuilding homes and affirming their faith in God’s goodness!

What have the scientists done for us?
Advances in wine science over the last 20 years
[This article was originally written for the 100th edition of the Circle of Wine Writers’ Update magazine.]
I’m a scientist, but—as Andrew Jefford so nicely put a few years back when reviewing my wine science book—I’m not a scientific fundamentalist. Science is just one of the lenses we can use to examine wine with, and there’s still a great deal about wine that science can’t really explain. Most of the world’s great wines are not made by technicians, but by artisanal wine growers, working empirically. They observe; they experiment; they understand.
We still don’t have a good scientific explanation for why the wines of, say, Domaine de La Romanée Conti’s Grand Cru vineyard sites in Vosne-Romanée are so fabulous, while a few hundred yards away, very similar-looking vineyards produce rather ordinary wine.
The category of natural wine also creates problems for wine scientists: all that we know about wine science suggests that wines made without any addition of sulfur dioxide should be awful, but natural wines are frequently thrilling. It’s a bit of a mystery.
And what about biodynamics? Some of the world’s smartest wine domains have improved their wine quality by farming this way, but science is at a bit of a loss to explain how some of biodynamie’s anti-scientific practices could be having much effect.
While science is just one way of seeing the world, it is incredibly powerful, if, as a tool for understanding, it is used effectively. Some of the problems wine science has run into have been down to the fact that the wrong sorts of questions have been asked by those who don’t really understand interesting wine. In the right hands—those of a curious, committed winegrower—science has the power to help people make more interesting wines more consistently. Sadly, it has largely been used to make cheap wine more consistent, and more cheaply.
In this article I’m going to pick some of the recent advances in wine science, and try to explain why I think they have been so significant. I’ll also be casting an eye to the future, to suggest ways in which wine science might progress.
Post-bottling wine chemistry, and wine bottle closures
This sounds really dull, doesn’t it? But it’s probably the single biggest contributor to improvements in wine quality that have taken place over recent decades.
Twenty years ago cork had pretty much a monopoly position as the wine bottle closure. And cork was doing a really bad job. In particular, the Australians were getting fed up with the quality of corks they were being sold. Depending on who you talk to, up to 10% of their wines were being spoiled by cork taint and/or early oxidation because of problems with corks. The search for an alternative became a serious one.
Initially, plastic corks were tried. The first-generation synthetics were injection-moulded plugs that were much less effective than their modern counterparts. Despite their drawbacks (one of which was that they were quite hard to remove from the bottle), they achieved limited success from the mid-1990s onwards. The other main contender was the screwcap. Screwcaps had been tried in Australia in the mid-1970s, but had failed to win over consumers.
They made their comeback in 1999, when Orlando decided to bottle a high-end Riesling under both cork and screwcap. The screwcapped bottles outsold the cork sealed ones by far. Then in 2000, a bunch of Clare Valley producers banded together and bottled their Rieslings under screwcap, accompanying their launch with a big media splash. New Zealand producers also rushed to bottle their fresh Sauvignon Blancs under this new closure.
But what of the science of closures? At this stage, everyone pretty much assumed that the job of the closure was to seal the bottle, to stop air coming in and wine getting out. What they didn’t realize was the critical role played by the closure in allowing a very small amount of oxygen transmission, and the potential impact this would have on the wine. It was a pioneering study by the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI), beginning in 1999, that opened everyone’s eyes to the fascinations of post-bottling wine chemistry.
This study involved the same wine – a 1999 Clare Valley unoaked Semillon made by Leasingham’s Kerri Thompson – sealed with 14 different closures. These bottles were sampled at regular intervals and subjected to both chemical and sensory analysis. The long and short of it is that the synthetic corks used in the AWRI study allowed too much oxygen transmission, resulting in premature ageing and then oxidation of the wine.
The natural corks were better, but varied quite a bit and tainted some of the wines. The technical corks were better than the natural corks in terms of oxygen transmission – they were consistent and kept the wines a bit fresher – but they too suffered from taint issues. The screwcap performed best in terms of keeping the wine freshest and most youthful, but allowed so little oxygen transmission that a subtle reductive flint/rubber note appeared in the wines.
It should be pointed out that with a screwcap, the oxygen transmission rate is determined by the liner, and two are commonly used for wines, with rather different properties. The trial here used one with a metal layer in it – as in fact almost all the screwcaps used in Australia and New Zealand have. This allows very little oxygen transmission at all. The Saranex-only liner, the other one commonly used, allows a bit more: less than a typical synthetic cork but a bit more than a typical natural cork.
The conclusion from the trial is that winemaking extends beyond bottling. The oxygen transmission rate of the closure that you choose will affect the sensory properties of your wine after bottling. It is just not possible to freeze a wine in time by using a hermetic (totally air-tight) seal such as sealing a wine in a glass ampoule. The wine will always change after bottling, and the key issue is to choose a closure with the oxygen transmission rate that suits the wine (if you know the intended point of consumption).
Now, of the approximately 18.3 billion bottles sealed each year, alternative closures account for some 5.7 billion units. As a result of the emergence of alternative closures, winemakers are now aware of the importance of oxygen transmission through the closure, the impact of oxygen at bottling, and the processes that occur post-bottling in terms of wine chemistry. And cork manufacturers are now trying hard to reduce the rates of taint in their products.
The science of sustainable viticulture
This is a biggie. Think back 20 years. Most vineyards were clean cultivated with herbicides, kept verdant green with chemical fertilizers, and protected from disease by systemic fungicides. They looked lovely. The concept behind this ‘old viticulture’ was to see the vine – the crop plant – as the focus of all the attention, with the soil viewed merely as an inert medium to supply the necessary nutrients and water for vine growth.
So welcome to the ‘new viticulture’. There has been a change in the way that many of the more enlightened growers are seeing their vineyards. They are now rightly viewed as agroecosystems, with many organisms working together of which the vine is but one. In particular, the rich microbial life of the soil is now appreciated as being of great importance.
It’s is not just the organic and biodynamic growers who realize that these agroecosystems matter in their entirety, but also conventional growers who are choosing to work more sustainably. The science of integrated pest management/integrated farm management is now pretty mainstream, and is informing the decisions of growers worldwide. Vineyards are becoming much healthier places, with the life of the soil respected, and elegant biological solutions to pest and disease pressures preferred to ‘magic bullet’ chemical approaches.
It’s really encouraging to see certified sustainable viticultural programs roll out around the world. In New Zealand, the Sustainable Viticulture program has a huge take up, and has resulted in massive reductions in agrochemical use across the industry. In South Africa, the Integrated Production of Wine program is beginning to take off.
Oregon has a sustainable wine certification program that brings together a number of differing certifying bodies to make a message that is more easily communicated to consumers. And Chile is currently working towards developing an independently audited sustainability program. ‘Sustainable wine’ might not be as sexy as biodynamics, but it has the potential to help the environment – and improve wine quality as the result of better viticulture – on a much larger scale.
Wine flavour chemistry and the perception of wine
Our understanding of wine flavour – in terms of both its perception by humans, and also its basis in wine chemistry – has changed a great deal in recent years. This is a hugely interesting area of study that crosses disciplinary boundaries, and even takes in philosophy and psychology.
Wine is a complex chemical soup. Many of the chemicals in wine have smells and tastes. But to unentangle which of these chemicals is most significant is a complicated process, because they interact in additive ways, there are masking effects, and subthreshold levels of some chemicals affect the perception of others. The old fashioned idea is that we can understand the flavour of wine by simply working out which odour- or taste-active chemicals are present above their threshold levels in a sort of additive fashion, but this isn’t the case.
One very interesting recent set of studies involved taking the volatile compounds out of a wine, leaving just the volatile matrix. Then the volatile compounds can be added back leaving some out, to see what impact these missing compounds have. This sort of approach is throwing up some surprising results. In a twist on this theme, researchers have shown that a wine made up of a red wine non-volatile matrix and white wine volatiles smells like a red wine, and vice versa. It’s fascinating stuff.
The human perception of wine is really interesting, too. We now realize that tasting wine involves multisensory perception, with contributions from the tongue, nose, eyes and even ears. Touch is another sense that plays a part. All this information is recombined in the brain and by the time we are aware of it, a lot of processing has already taken place. Our knowledge or previous experience also shapes the actual perception of the wine that we have.
In addition, individuals differ in their sensitivity to various wine flavour compounds. A good example is rotundone, a sesquiterpene that has recently been identified as contributing the peppery flavour found in red wines such as cool-climate Syrah. One fifth of people simply can’t detect this at all. There is also work on taste, showing that around a quarter of people are ‘hypertasters’, exquisitely sensitive to bitter compounds in particular. Likewise, a quarter of the population aren’t very sensitive at all to bitterness.
Lots of work has taken place on Sauvignon Blanc, which is in effect a ‘model system’ for wine. Researchers have shown that the distinctive aroma of wines made from this variety is largely down to the presence of two classes of ‘impact’ compound. First, there are methoxypyrazines, which have green pepper/grassy flavours and are present in the grapes at harvest, surviving fermentation intact.
Then there are three polyfunctional thiols, sulfur-containing compounds formed during fermentation by precursors present in the must: 3MH, 3MHA and 4MMP. These contribute attractive passionfruit, grapefruit and boxwood aromas. Other compounds involved in Sauvignon aroma include the various fruity smelling esters, leafy smelling C6 aldehydes and alcohols, and terpenes. Work is underway to connect up wine chemistry with viticultural and winemaking interventions. It’s exciting to see this level of understanding emerge, with contributions from sensory scientists, analytic chemists, molecular biologists, microbiologists and plant physiologists, as well as the wine industry itself.
Understanding the role of oxygen in wine
So, with a view to the future, I’m going to pick two fields that I think will be particularly influential. The first is that of understanding the role of oxygen in winemaking and beyond. This is an area of intense current research, but lots remains to be discovered. Advances in protecting wine from oxygen – reductive winemaking – have already permitted winemakers to make wines that a generation ago simply weren’t possible.
Warm climate wine regions can now make whites and unoaked reds with incredible freshness of purity of fruit, largely because of the availability of refrigerated stainless steel tanks and inert gases. But while protecting wines from oxygen has been a powerful tool for shaping wine style, the appropriate exposure to oxygen is also important for making some wines.
Traditionally this has been achieved through the use of barrels. More recently, microoxygenation coupled with the use of barrel alternatives has attempted to replicate this. But microoxygenation is a bit of a dark art, and the doses delivered are likely much higher than those delivered by oak barrels, although they are delivered over a shorter period. Could it be that it is not just the dose of oxygen delivered, but also the rate, that is critical in terms of the sensory outcome?
Inexpensive luminescence-based tools are now available for monitoring oxygen, and the hope is that studies looking at the effects of different oxygen regimes—both during winemaking and post-bottling—on a range of wines, tracking both chemical and sensory targets, could help reveal the optimal oxygen management techniques for different styles of wines.
Genetic modification of yeasts and vines
The second field for the future is the genetic modification of yeasts and grapevines. This is highly controversial, of course: many consumers simply won’t accept wines made from GM vines or yeasts. As a scientist, I see GM as a very powerful tool, which can be used for good or evil.
The evil use is to produce pesticide and herbicide resistant vines, and then nuke the vineyard with these chemicals to eradicate all other life. The good use? Well, GM is the only way you can make existing varieties (which we very much like) resistant to the ravages of oidium and downy mildew, which make spraying necessary if a crop is to be achieved.
So GM vines could be much more environmentally friendly – there certainly seem to be no safety issues. The problem with GM vines is that they’d be expensive to produce, and therefore we could end up with increasing focus on just a few varieties worldwide, which would be bad news indeed. GM yeasts are already with us. There are currently two of them being used in the USA. Most other countries won’t allow them. One is a very low sulfide-producing strain that also produces reduced levels of ethyl carbamate (although the manufacturers claim that this is not technically a GM yeast); the other does malolactic fermentation at the same time as alcoholic fermentation.
Lots of work is currently going on to produce a yeast that makes less alcohol from the same amount of sugar in the must: now this would be really useful. Whether we like it or not, the issue of GM organisms in wine is not going to go away.
So this is just a quick overview of some of the more important contributions of science to wine. If I can be permitted to dream a little, if I had a gazillion dollar research budget, I’d use it for a number of related projects. I’d love to understand what exactly it is about terroir and viticulture that makes great vineyards capable of producing great wines. I’d like to know why biodynamic winegrowers are having such effect. I’d love to know why so many natural wine show brilliant elegance and complexity. And I’d like to use this knowledge to help more growers do the same, making thrilling wines at prices that even the modestly well off can afford. A truly egalitarian vision of the wine world’s future!

Through this battle, I have seen what True Courage looks like. True Courage is not denying the cards you have been dealt. Rather, it is knowing that you can still win a game with a bad hand. And when the odds are not in your favor, you keep moving, knowing there are still things you can control. True Courage is surrender and it is resilience: it is surrendering to what you cannot control, and it is the resolve to take control of your destiny, which is still in your hands. It is coming to peace with your circumstances and learning to rise from the ashes. True Courage exists in moments of weakness: moments where it seems the whole world is falling apart; moments where you have reached your breaking point and are so close to giving up. These are the moments when True Courage can be seen most clearly, because True Courage exists in the ability to take another step when you have hit rock bottom. True Courage is when the human will overpowers the fear of defeat. True Courage is not short-lived… it is a constant flame which does not die out, no matter what forces flood it. It...
Some people can point to a day in their lives and say that’s the day my life changed but you never know your live’s about to change until it hits you. Like a punch in the gut. And theres no way to prepare yourself because theres no way to know what tomorrow holds. Because as steve jobs once said, you can only connect the dots in your life looking backward. And because every single day begins as just another day and yet Every single day has the potential to be life altering. Change represents the thread of the fabric of our lives. Its unavoidable so why are we so resistant and afraid of change? Of what we can’t control in life? And why do we try so hard to predict what will happen with statistics that claim to know the future when we really know no nothing, no matter how much we guess, theres no way of knowing what tomorrow holds. That any assumption we make is in the end just a shot in the dark and that anything can happen. The irony of this, however, is the balance. Life is made out of balance. light and dark, hot and...
Just another day. Just another breath. Another chance. Another day to laugh. Another day to cry. Waking up every morning thinking. Its just another day. nothing to be afraid of. and there will always be tomorrow. To heal. Heal from the wounds of today. And brace for the wounds of tomorrow. But healing takes time And with each new day wounds are renewed. And those which aren’t healed Deepen. Become more visible. Darken. Begin to define you. And sometimes these wounds become scars. And you reach the point where you’re too damaged to heal. And any attempt leads to disappointment.
When life gives you lemons you make lemonade… you don’t complain about not having enough oranges, or apples, or bananas, or any other fruit for that matter. You savor the lemons you’ve been given because the next person may not have any. Make the best of what you’ve been given and consciously choose to every day focus on what you do have instead of what what you don’t. This is what I’ve learned the past few months. No matter how hard it gets, gratefulness will be your savior. Gratefulness is the force that keeps your head up and eyes looking forward. Gratefulness is hope for a better tomorrow. There will always be something to be grateful for. No matter where you are in life or what you feel life has taken from you, you can always decide to focus on what you do have. And if nothing else, you have this moment. This breath. This day. “Circumstances do not make a man, they reveal him.” I believe my dad has always had this strength inside of him but has not had enough reason to use it. This experience was God revealing how much my dad is really capable of and...
One thing we’ve learned the past few months is that we never really know how strong we can be unless and until our strength is put to the test. Maybe God gives us hardship to show us our own strength. All I know is I’ve been blessed to see my dad’s unbelievable strength now that I’ve never seen this way before. We are all constantly pushed to our limits and then some in order to not only get through this difficult time but also come out victorious. Every day presents a new challenge that we must tackle head on and every day we wake up stronger for it. We wake up wiser, more grateful human beings. So I’m done asking why because every time I do, I find a million reasons why this experience has been valuable to us as a family. And although sometimes it seems the reasoning doesn’t justify what we have to go through every day, it is a reason no less. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11653 | {"url": "http://zoe4life.com/category/blog/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "zoe4life.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:05:46Z", "digest": "sha1:KXHVP6ANQWC5P6IME3GD4DUPAJ25MTVT"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4663, 4663.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4663, 7238.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4663, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4663, 118.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4663, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4663, 305.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4663, 0.527]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4663, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4663, 0.023281]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4663, 0.01082837]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4663, 0.02382241]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4663, 0.01407688]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4663, 0.0086627]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4663, 0.009]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4663, 0.5]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4663, 0.115]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4663, 0.39285714]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4663, 4.25576037]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4663, 0.005]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4663, 5.24006395]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4663, 868.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 1109, 1.0], [1109, 2147, 1.0], [2147, 2731, 1.0], [2731, 3806, 1.0], [3806, 4663, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 1109, 0.0], [1109, 2147, 0.0], [2147, 2731, 0.0], [2731, 3806, 0.0], [3806, 4663, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 20, 3.0], [20, 1109, 200.0], [1109, 2147, 200.0], [2147, 2731, 100.0], [2731, 3806, 200.0], [3806, 4663, 165.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 1109, 0.0], [1109, 2147, 0.0], [2147, 2731, 0.0], [2731, 3806, 0.0], [3806, 4663, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 1109, 0.0], [1109, 2147, 0.0], [2147, 2731, 0.0], [2731, 3806, 0.0], [3806, 4663, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.15], [20, 1109, 0.02112029], [1109, 2147, 0.01252408], [2147, 2731, 0.03424658], [2731, 3806, 0.01581395], [3806, 4663, 0.01750292]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4663, 0.37135673]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4663, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4663, 0.01126742]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4663, -116.65186973]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4663, 50.12404648]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4663, -593.36995851]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4663, 67.0]]} |

Every Backyard Needs One of These
By Jeff Cecil
I'm not handy in any way, shape or form. I can drink beer but that's about it. When it comes to woodworking, I have zero skills.
If I did, I'd make it a point to make a whole bunch of these "Beer Chairs" and put them all over my backyard and on my deck. These would be great around a bonfire at night.
The only difference with mine would be the hole in the seat for...well...you know. Then I'd never have to leave the yard.
Check it out. They've got a Facebook page too, if you wanted to look into getting one.
Here's another set that would look nice in any backyard.
Not to mention, you've still got time to get in on our Ultimate Backyard Makeover! It ends Friday at noon so hurry up and get in on this. Almost $20,000 worth of GREAT stuff for YOUR backyard!

Flying Car Completes First Ever Test Flight Between Airports in 35min
Flying cars are coming! The first ever test flight of a flying car took place between two cities in Slovakia.
The flight was 35 minutes and the AirCar Prototype 1 is powered by a 160 horsepower BMW engine, and equipped with a fixed propeller.
But the car isn't just for the air, apparently it can transform from aircraft to a road vehicle in less than 3 minutes.
According to Klein Vision the AirCar has no completed more than 40 hours of test flights, which includes flying at 8,200 feet and reaching maximum cruising speed of 118 miles per hour. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11656 | {"url": "https://1047kissfm.iheart.com/featured/tino-cochino-radio/content/2021-07-05-flying-car-completes-first-ever-test-flight-between-airports-in-35min/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "1047kissfm.iheart.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:30:58Z", "digest": "sha1:Y22SXNS4244S57VPZSJKSQZPBUCOB3GA"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 617, 617.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 617, 2418.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 617, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 617, 75.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 617, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 617, 227.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 617, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 617, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 617, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 617, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 617, 0.36065574]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 617, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 617, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 617, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 617, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 617, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 617, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 617, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 617, 0.03614458]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 617, 0.05220884]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 617, 0.07630522]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 617, 0.00819672]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 617, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 617, 0.14754098]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 617, 0.72727273]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 617, 4.52727273]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 617, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 617, 4.23393497]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 617, 110.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 70, 0.0], [70, 180, 1.0], [180, 313, 1.0], [313, 433, 1.0], [433, 617, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 70, 0.0], [70, 180, 0.0], [180, 313, 0.0], [313, 433, 0.0], [433, 617, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 70, 11.0], [70, 180, 20.0], [180, 313, 24.0], [313, 433, 23.0], [433, 617, 32.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 70, 0.02898551], [70, 180, 0.0], [180, 313, 0.04615385], [313, 433, 0.00862069], [433, 617, 0.04972376]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 70, 0.0], [70, 180, 0.0], [180, 313, 0.0], [313, 433, 0.0], [433, 617, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 70, 0.12857143], [70, 180, 0.02727273], [180, 313, 0.05263158], [313, 433, 0.00833333], [433, 617, 0.02717391]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 617, 0.9619683]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 617, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 617, 0.76744747]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 617, -7.18178829]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 617, 5.73957049]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 617, -6.2381289]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 617, 5.0]]} |

St. Pete's In The Books
So what did everyone think of yesterday's race? Overall I thought it was pretty solid, with some good passing, a nice, long green run and very little controversy.
Well, there is one that some will be talking about for a couple of days. With just over 30 laps to go in the 110-lap event, race leader Will Power inexplicably slowed, causing a backup in the field and sending Jack Hawksworth (who was having a great run in his first IndyCar race) into Marco Andretti, knocking both out of the race.
With the new rules on restarts (which I don't completely understand fully, I'll admit), this may not be the last time something like this happens. Since the leader can no longer just take off coming out of the last corner, which led to some ugly restarts in the past, some might resort to a bit of gamesmanship to give them some sort of advantage. Perhaps that needs to be addressed in the form of a minimum speed coming to the green, but I'll leave that to Derrick Walker.
So, as always here at 15DIM, let's run through the Top 5 and some other odds and ends.
Winner: Will Power. You don't say? The way he picked up from where he left off in 2013 (winning three of the final five races), it seems like he didn't have an off-season. Outside of surrendering the lead when he pitted, WP led from Lap 30 (when he took the lead from polesitter Takuma Sato) on in registering his 20th win in IndyCar (he also won twice in Champ Car). It's pretty simple...when it comes to a road or street course, you can't let this guy get to the point, because in that situation he is one of the best front runners in the business.
Runner-up: Ryan Hunter-Reay. RHR seemed pretty pumped after the race, and as he said afterwards, you can't go wrong piling up points early in the season. With the ovals and twisties worth almost the same amount of points this year, you have to do two things: be consistent and show up for the 500-milers. The main thing is to just get off to a good start. When RHR won the title two years ago, he finished third here. Last year? P18, one of nine races in which he finished 18th or worse, which is how a guy with two wins and six total podiums finishes seventh in points.
Third: Helio Castroneves. Helio put on a happy face, but didn't seem all that pleased with his finish, no doubt a little miffed at his teammate for his shenanigans on the restart. Still, he begins his quest to put a heartbreaking finish to the season behind him by picking up a podium finish in the opener. Remember how I said last year that the street race doubleheaders put the championship on a tee for Will Power? The more I think about it, the more ovals do the same for Helio this year.
Fourth/fifth: Scott Dixon and Simon Pagenaud. I'm lumping the two of these guys together because I have pretty much the same thing to say for both of them, as they had pretty quiet days where they ran near the front and kept their noses clean. The Champ's day was pretty ho-hum, while Simon made a nice jump up from his 14th-place starting position.
Notables: Josef Newgarden had one of the better drives of the race, starting last in P22 and moving up to P9 by the end of the day. He was probably one of the faster cars on the track by the end of the race...Mikhail Aleshin was the highest-finishing rookie, coming home P12...What happened to Graham Rahal and James Hinchcliffe? Rahal had a great start to the race, quickly moving up 12 spots, then just stalled out and started going backwards before finishing P14. Hinch ran last all day (the result of what appears to be some sort of electronics gremlin) and was out of it from the drop of the green, and only moved up to his P19 finishing position via attrition. Of course, given his feast-or-famine results of last year, he will probably win at Long Beach in two weeks.
JPM: Juan Pablo Montoya's return to IndyCar was a bit (to some) underwhelming, but being realistic, his 15th place finish sounds about right. Despite his talent, he still has a lot of work to do, not only in learning the car, but stepping up to the competition level. It's a little tougher this time around.
TV broadcast: I thought Allen Bestwick was tremendous. Though he referred to himself as being "new to IndyCar", he seemed like he did his prep work and was on point all day. I think he really impressed everyone in the series (and lots of fans too) when he showed up for spring training at Barber to learn as much as he could.
I'm not a fan of Scott Goodyear's, but he seemed a little better yesterday. He's been in the booth for so long but just has never seemed like he ever said what he wanted to say, if that makes sense. I thought his focus on Newgarden and his technical explainations for driving lines and passing techniques near the end of the race was tremendous. His game seemed a little raised with Bestwick at his side.
I'm still not sure quite what Eddie Cheever provides to the broadcast, and I think that he and Goodyear do get in each others' way sometimes. But he did provide an interesting moment when he admitted to Goodyear that he doesn't like talking about the Indy 500 with him because Cheever won and Goodyear had so many heartbreaking finishes.
So now it's on to Long Beach, one of the cornerstones of the series, and one of the most interesting of the street courses on the schedule. Not only that, it's a track where several drivers such as Michael Andretti, Paul Tracy, Juan Pablo Montoya and Nelson Piquet (F1) got their first career wins, and in two of the last three years, Mike Conway and Takuma Sato have picked up their first IndyCar wins as well.

60 Volume 85 • Number 5 NEHA NEWS YOUR ASSOCIATION NEHA Advocates for Environmental Health in Washington, DC The National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) President Dr. D. Gary Brown, Region 7 Vice-President Tim Hatch, and Director of Government Aairs Doug Farquhar visited the U.S. Senate during the NEHA Board of Directors meeting in Washington, DC, on October 13, 2022, to advocate for the environmental health workforce. Our representatives first met with the oce of Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Senate minority leader, to discuss environmental health and the importance of federal support of state and local food safety, vector control, and epidemiology programs, among other environmental health needs. Dr. Brown emphasized that the environmental health workforce relies on federal support from the Food and Drug Administration and the National Center for Environmental Health within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Photo 1. National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) representatives Doug Farquhar (left) and Dr. D. Gary Brown (right) visit the oce of Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL). Photo courtesy of NEHA. We next met with sta from the oce of Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL), vice chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee (Photo 1). Hatch spoke about Alabama’s environmental health activities and the value of federal funds to support environmental health. The sta from Shelby’s oce knew of environmental health, referencing the $5 million in federal support being provided for septic systems in Lowndes County. Hatch also spoke on emergency management and other concerns facing the state. He noted the value of the training provided through the Public Health Infrastructure Act, but added that environmental health is often overlooked. Our representatives also met with oce sta of Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL; Photo 2). Finally, we were fortunate to hold a meeting in the Senate hallways with Dr. Pat Breysse, director, and Pam Berman, associate director of policy, from the National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry within CDC. They were in Washington, DC, to testify before the Senate on climate change. If you have questions about this visit or would like to support future government aairs activities, please email communications@neha.org. NEHA Recommends Improvements to Food and Drug Administration Human Foods Program In October, NEHA provided comment on the operations of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Human Foods Program to the Reagan-Udall Foundation as part of their FDA Operational Evaluation. Their evaluation will focus on structure, leadership, authority, resources, and the culture of the human foods program. NEHA represents more than 6,700 individuals who are responsible for keeping food safe and communities free from foodborne illness daily and for implementing federal food safety regulations and programs. “Environmental health and foodborne illness risk factors are profoundly local. Individual restaurants are the most reported locations of food preparation associated with foodborne illness outbreaks, many in sit-down establishments,” said Doug Farquhar, NEHA Government Aairs director. “History has shown that the single most important investment FDA can make is to build the capacity of local environmental health inspectors by supporting systems that provide training, skills, tools, and resources.” Photo 2.

Alleged Phone Conversations Between Elaine Yiu and Raymond Young’s “Mistress” Leaked
May 31, 2019 February 5, 2020 admin
The Elaine Yiu (姚子羚) scandal keeps getting interesting as a person claiming to be the friend of Raymond Young’s (楊偉文) alleged “mistress” leaked five snippets of phone conversations that she claims are between Elaine Yiu and her friend. This person, who is being referred to as “Miss A”, also provided additional private pictures of Raymond Young and Elaine Yiu from their trip to Bangkok to Apple Daily HK.

A few of the pictures show Elaine Yiu and Raymond Young clothed in bed with Elaine Yiu looking at the camera. Miss A claims, “The pictures are geotagged. The date, time, and location are listed on top of the pictures. It was last October in Bangkok. How would she (Elaine Yiu) not know about taking pictures in bed with him?”

Miss A also alleges Elaine Yiu had always knew Raymond Young wanted to get back with Sarika Choy (蔡宛珊). In order to do that, she was willing to work with the mistress to force Raymond Young to sign the divorce papers as soon as possible. Miss A says, “She (Elaine Yiu) was willing to be the second mistress. Raymond had actually initiated breaking up a few times, but she wanted to win and beat out the mistress.” These accusations are quite far fetched.

“If he was more mature in his thinking, your wife wouldn’t leave you. This isn’t the first time I’ve said this to him. I said I finally understand why your wife left you.”
“He would definitely not tell me that his wife left him because he’s flirting with girls. He has said Sarika was not happy because he didn’t have time to spend with her since he works at the club from day to night while she’s waiting for him to come back at night. He said how does he have time. She knows I have to work, but she feels that it was better when he had no money, but more time.”
Elaine Yiu Not in a Rush to Find a Partner
“In the end, I busted him. I told him I had a friend who knew his wife and that I had a friend on IG who saw your wife and a picture of you. He couldn’t deny it because I had previously asked him several times. I said I I will ask you one more time. Did you go see your wife? He was denying it completely.”
“No, we were going back to his place. He suddenly stopped the car saying he might have saw you waiting downstairs. I said, really, I don’t see it. I think he was full of it. He was waiting for me to retreat so that I wouldn’t go up to his place. Of course I wouldn’t fall for it. I purposely went up to his place.”
Elaine Yiu Embroiled in Scandal for Dating a Married Man and Befriending His Wife
Sarika Choy spoke with hk01.com and declined to comment about her ex-husband’s romantic life and whether their divorce was over third parties. However, she did say that the decision to divorce wasn’t just over one thing and wasn’t made lightly. When asked if she found any traces of his wrongdoing before they separated, Sarika Choy explains, “Before we separated, I don’t think he committed any devious behavior with women behind my back. As to the authenticity of those recordings? I think they should be real because it’s already leaked. It’s also her voice. That’s all I can say.”

Iodine Information, Benefits, Deficiency, Food Sources
The same condition (hypothyroidism) may come on later in life, and after complete removal of the thyroid gland. Such a patient may have to take a certain amount of thyroid every day for the rest of his life. Tumors of the thyroid gland occur frequently in certain areas of the world and often seem to run in families.
Prevention of thyroid trouble is easy today. Iodized salt is available almost everywhere, and in most cases it will prevent the trouble before it starts.
Sources of iodine
The best sources of iodine are sea foods (e.g. sea fish, sea salt) and cod liver oil. Smaller amounts occur in other foods e.g. milk, meat, vegetables, cereals etc. the iodine content of fresh water is small and very variable, about 1-50 micrograms/L
About 90 percent of iodine comes from foods eaten; the remainder from drinking water. The iodine content of the soil determines its presence in both water and locally grown foods. The deficiency is geochemical in nature.
Benefits of iodine
Unique among minerals, iodine has only one known function in the body: It is essential to the thyroid gland for manufacturing thyroxin, a hormone that regulates metabolism in all the body’s cells.
Unlike many other minerals, iodine does not seem to help in the treatment of specific diseases; however, it does play a fundamental role in assuring the health of the thyroid, the butterfly-shaped gland that surrounds the windpipe (trachea). When iodine intake is adequate, our body contains about an ounce of it, and 75% of that amount is stored in the thyroid. This organ controls the body’s overall metabolism, which determines how quickly and efficiently calories are burned.
It also regulates growth and development in children, reproduction, nerve and muscle function, the breakdown of proteins and fats, the growth of nails and hair, and the use of oxygen by every cell in the body.
There is some evidence that iodine derived from an organic source may be effective in reducing the pain of fibrocystic breasts, but patients should discuss this type of supplementation with their doctor first.
By getting enough iodine, pregnant women can prevent certain types of mental retardation in their developing fetus
Deficiency symptoms of iodine
Among the first signs of iodine deficiency, now rarely seen, is an enlarged thyroid gland, known as a goiter. Lack of iodine can cause the gland to expand in an attempt to increase its surface area and trap as much of the iodine in the bloodstream as possible. If your iodine intake is low, your thyroid hormone level may well be low too
Insufficient iodine (which results in too little thyroxin) can lead to such symptoms as fatigue, dry skin, an increase in blood fats, a hoarse throat, delayed reflexes, and reduced mental clarity.
There is very little risk of iodine overdose, even at levels 10 to 20 times the RDA. However, if you ingest 30 times the RDA, one is likely to experience a metallic taste, mouth sores, swollen salivary glands, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, a rash, and difficulty in breathing. Ironically, a goiter can also develop if you consistently take extremely large amounts of iodine.
We probably get all the iodine we need from our daily intake of iodized salt or from regular servings of seafood. Iodine is also a standard ingredient in many multivitamin and mineral supplements. Even if one is on a severely restricted salt diet for high blood pressure, he or she probably don’t require extra iodine, though they can safely take 150 mcg a day. People on a thyroid hormone should always discuss their condition with a doctor before taking individual iodine supplements.
Some other points
Because iodine deficiency is rare in developed countries, take iodine supplements only if prescribed by your physician.
When iodine is taken with lithium, it may increase the chance of side effects.
Iodine may decrease the effectiveness of some thyroid drugs. Taking high doses of kelp could provide too much iodine and interfere with the actions of some thyroid drugs.
Reminder: If you have a medical or psychiatric condition, talk to your doctor before taking supplements. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11662 | {"url":

It's a Process: More than Machine Learning with Hana Lee
Jerome Goodrich
“You can build an initial model, but you have to keep updating it. You have to continually operate it, doing things incrementally rather than trying to solve the whole problem in one go. One of the benefits is that we have a good framework for building things incrementally.”
— Hana Lee
Machine learning is only as good as the humans who create the program. Even machines have biases. Hana Lee is a Principal Software Crafter at 8th Light, where she's currently leading data engineering work with a global reinsurance client to take prototype machine learning models that predict insurance risk and turn them into production-ready, scalable services.
Before joining 8th Light, Hana was immersed in academia. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago, where she studied the genomics of host-pathogen interactions. She holds a Ph.D. in molecular biology at UC Berkeley, an AB from Harvard University in biochemical sciences, and an AWS certification as a Solutions Architect Associate.
In our conversation today, Hana discusses her life in academia, the case for creating cross-functional teams, and how to frame data problems for machine learning success.

[00:00:00] Thomas: I learned my laptop only has 8GB of ram. It's basically an iPad, always needs the fan. It's also 97,000 degrees in this closet. Yeah, somebody was like, "Hey, why don't you open your 'About This Mac' thing" while I was sharing my screen. And they were like, "Oh God." I was like, "Oh, is that bad?" Gosh, you wouldn't know I work in tech.

[00:00:35] Thomas: So, Jerome, who is our guest for today?
[00:00:39] Jerome: I am so glad you asked, Thomas. Today, we're talking with Hana Lee. Prior to joining us here at 8th Light, Hana Lee completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago, where she studied the genomics of host-pathogen interactions.
She holds a PhD in Molecular Biology at UC Berkeley, an AB from Harvard in Biochemical Sciences, and an AWS Certification as a Solutions Architect Associate. Now at 8th Light, Hana is a Principal Software Crafter, where she's currently leading data engineering work with a global reinsurance client to take prototype machine learning models that predict insurance risk and turn them into production ready, scalable services.
Her system is responsible for the automated data ingestion and feature engineering pipeline. Delivering real-time predictions, continually validating the models' performance, and generating reports with interactive visualizations so that non-technical stakeholders can make informed decisions about the model's performance.
Hana has graciously agreed to join us for a conversation today, to talk about the data science and data engineering work required to build, deploy, and tune machine learning models at a global scale.
[00:01:55] Thomas: I'm so stoked for this conversation. And I love the distinction here that she's literally working at such a gigantic scale because when we were first talking about speaking and having a conversation with Hana, I was like, oh, I've done some machine learning.
And I'm just immediately laughing because the machine learning that I've done... And literally, if you wanted to find this, you could, it's like identify the difference between a Morning Dove and a Sparrow. And it's like, the training set was like 80 images and yeah, not exactly a global scale. But I feel like I've had these like bumps into machine learning, kind of as an experiment and as a curiosity, but never from like a business perspective. Never from like the scale of, we have an immense amount of data and we need to make better business decisions. That's a whole different ball game.
[00:02:51] Jerome: Yeah. I mean, for my part, I think ML is one of these things, it's kind of like Design, that it's obscured for me by some sort of conceptual curtain. You know, I feel like it's very much in the realm of academia and somewhat orthogonal to more traditional software development.
And I'm really excited that we have Hana who came from that world and can kind of bridge that gap of these two places that ML resides. And can speak to us, not only about how it's used in research, but also how it's used on client projects. Much like you, my experience with ML is pretty limited. While, ML is used in academia- and I do have, like, I kind of put it on this pedestal and it has, you know, this kind of arcane mystique to it. It's also very much prevalent in our day-to-day experience as software developers. Things like, AWS, SageMaker, TensorFlow... These are becoming household names and it seemingly making ML more available to your average developer.
So I really want to understand by talking to Hana, how far that goes. And I'm really curious to see how her deep experience with these technologies maps to her current work as a principal crafter and the lessons that she's learned from living in both of these worlds.
[00:04:19] Thomas: Yeah, definitely. If I think of ML, I think of like AI and self-driving cars. You know, all of this... or even like algorithmic bias, like these kind of big headline flashy things. It's like, no, actually, if you work in tech, we are very close to it. Just being kind of the norm, another tool in our toolbox. Now I know that it's not just that easy and you can't just decide you want to use ML and it's magic.
I mean, I worked tangentially with kind of data engineering and I understand it's, we're not quite there yet to just be able to pull something off the shelf, but we're pretty close. There are a lot of things that machine learning can help businesses do. And I think we would be wise to learn a little bit more about it
[00:05:08] Jerome: For our own careers.
[00:05:10] Thomas: Exactly. Oh gosh. What is it? Copilot and...
[00:05:13] Jerome: Yeah, exactly.
[00:05:14] Thomas: If we don't learn how to write the AI, the AI is going to write us.
[00:05:19] Jerome: Hana, please save us.
[00:05:22] Thomas: So with that, let's hop over to our conversation with Hana.
[00:05:27] Jerome: Let's do it! So excited.
Thank you so much for joining us, Hana. To start off you are a UChicago Alum, aren't you?
[00:05:43] Hana: Well, I don't know if it counts as an alumnus when you work there as a postdoc. But yeah, I did work there for two years before joining 8th Light.
[00:05:53] Thomas: So you were there studying the genomics of host pathogen interactions, is that right? How do you go from that to the software world?
[00:06:06] Hana: So, my background is in computational biology and genomics and basically throughout my research career, I've had to deal with three large data sets. And at a certain size, you have to use code to analyze those datasets because it's just too big to do otherwise.
So, in grad school I learned R and then Python because that was around the time when biologists were all switching over to using Python.
[00:06:38] Jerome: You were spared from MATLAB.
[00:06:41] Hana: Yeah. And then basically, I had to sort of keep improving my coding skills and you know, just as that interest grew, I started to think, well, maybe I can make a career of doing this in tech instead of continuing to suffer in academia.
[00:07:07] Thomas: And here you are, you have a great career in tech.
[00:07:11] Hana: Yeah. And I think really, the 8th Light apprenticeship model is really great for that because it allowed me to make that transition because I had done a lot of coding before and actually was pretty comfortable with Python, but, that's still a leap away from writing software. Because, here's the dirty secret, academics might write a lot of code, but no one else uses that code except themselves. So, writing code in a way that other people can contribute to it. And also, simply just use it. That is a craft, right? That is a practice. And that's why we're here. So, that was a large part of what I needed to learn and what I did learn during my apprenticeship.
[00:08:01] Jerome: Was there something that drew you to that? When you left academia, did you know that you wanted to deepen your expertise in writing software? Did you have a sense that something was missing?
[00:08:15] Hana: So, I had been sort of exposed to some ideas. There has been a lot of I would say, activity within academia to adopt better practices from the software world. And a large part of this is not so much because, I mean, not a lot of software is being written. But we want our data analysis to be reproducible.
And so reproducibility is a big movement within academia and a large part of making your data analysis reproducible is to version control your code, put it up on a place like GitHub so that other people can access it. They make your code readable so that other people can understand what you did. So all of those sort of very basic software engineering practices are being adopted in academia. A papers published and then not only can no one reproduce their data analysis, but no one remembers how they did their own data analysis in the first place, right? So, that's actually caused quite a few scandals, like particularly when I was in grad school. And this has been kind of the response to that to try to adopt software engineering practices, to increase reproducibility, increase transparency.
[00:09:39] Thomas: Before we go into talking about the kind of work you're doing now with your client, in your experience, what's the difference between say data analysis, data science, data engineering, and how has that related to machine learning? And in particular, I'd love to know about, in your academic background, which part of each of those skill sets were you employing? Were you doing machine learning in academia or was that something you picked up once you joined the tech industry?
[00:10:14] Hana: Yeah, this is actually a really good question because a lot of these terms are fairly new.
I mean, not data analysts, but you know data engineer, data scientists a lot of these terms are fairly new and there's, I think finally there's been a consensus about what they mean, but you can still see some discussion over, well, exactly what makes a data engineer different from a data scientist. Et cetera, et cetera.
I think nowadays in the industry, it's generally agreed that a data analyst may do things like generate plots from data sets. You know, present different insights by looking at interesting data that is relevant to a business. Business intelligence, I think, is also a term that is often equated with data analysis.
And then the line between that and data science is usually when machine learning becomes involved. This is not to say that data scientists have to do machine learning, but frequently they do. The machine learning part though, often in the data scientists' job is actually a small portion. There's like this adage that says like 90% of a data scientist job is cleaning the data.
And in some sense, that's what data analysts do, too. You know, they have to get the data side, clean it and normalize it. Make sure it can be used for analysis in a robust way. Figure out what to do with the missing values. Figure out whether, you know, this field from this file is actually the same as that field from that file, even though they have different names, you know, et cetera. Like a lot of that work, data scientists and data analysts both do.
But I think the idea is that a data scientist on top of that will have to bring machine learning into the picture. And that also means that they have to do a lot more coding as a result. And then the data engineer, where did that come in? Well, you know, despite this image of the data scientist straddling both worlds of software engineering and statistical analysis and being an expert in both, there actually is a lot of I guess specialty to software engineering that it's hard to ask a data scientist to have. And frequently a lot of this is around like infrastructure and you know, setting up the right tools and platforms for those data scientists. So now what you're often finding is that data scientists will have like particular tools that they use to write their code. And at larger scale companies, you'll find that data scientists will sort of turn over the work of cleaning and processing the data to the data engineers once it's become systematized. You know, like once you, once you've looked at these data sources and you know, okay, we have to do these and these steps every time to process the data. All right, we're going to automate that. Let's give it to the data engineers.
Now, all of that being said, different people at different organizations will occupy different areas of these roles. You know, like they're not neat and tidy boxes. Data scientists at some organizations may have data engineering responsibilities. Data engineers at other organizations may have some data scientists responsibility. So, you know, there's always overlap and that's kind of why it's. There's still, maybe not complete clear picture of what the differences between these terms are.
[00:13:58] Thomas: Yeah, it sounds like they're like disciplines more than individual roles.
[00:14:05] Hana: Yes. That is a very good way of putting it. Yeah. Yeah. And I think actually I recently attended a virtual Google conference, Applied ML. And a lot of what people kept bringing up in their keynote talks were the importance of having cross-functional teams. So making sure all of these disciplines are represented by different people.
It doesn't necessarily matter who represents which discipline or what title they have. But making sure that all the different areas are present on a team and are all working together instead of being siloed into separate teams. So don't have your team of data scientists sitting in one area and your team of data engineer is sitting in one area. Build a team that is able to carry out all the functions that are needed to operate a machine learning model and production.
[00:15:02] Thomas: Yeah, I interrupted your answer when you were going to go into your academic history. But I also want to flag that it's interesting. We've had some other guests mentioned that same kind of approach, that same mentality of cross discipline teams. In that regard, I'm thinking of John Wettersten, who was our first guest who mentioned that in terms of design and that being important for a software product.
And it sounds like for a data product, you have these disciplines that are unique to building data products. And it sounds like the same kind of perspective or the same approach might be just as valuable there.
[00:15:39] Hana: Yeah, absolutely. I think there's a lot of parallels and yeah, I've been listening to your podcast episodes and I get a lot of inspiration from it even when they're not, you know, directly to do with data.
[00:15:54] Jerome: Well, thanks. I'm going to ask you the same question that I asked John, which is this notion of cross-disciplinary or interdisciplinary teams seems very important. And you mentioned, you know, you're going to these contemporary or state-of-the-art talks on ML and data engineering, data science. And these things keep cropping up. In your experience, is this something that you see often in the wild? Is this something that companies are doing? Or does it keep coming up because it's a difficult thing to get right and people are offering guidance on ways in which to structure these teams?
[00:16:41] Hana: So I absolutely think that it's hard to get right. I think it's something that everyone agrees is a good idea and wants to build, but it's hard to build. Different organizations are trying different ways of getting at it.
And I don't know if I know the magic formula. But I can tell you for example, the machine learning model that I've put into production and, you know, made ready to be used in business that was originally developed by a group of data scientists and actually like more your traditional academic statisticians even.
And that was developed before, you know, 8th Light was even brought onto the project and at the parent company of my client. And when I started on the project, they brought us over and they handed over the code and said, here you are, here's your model. And that's exactly the kind of thing that the reason why these conferences all say, you know, "don't do it that way, build a cross-functional team," just because how much easier would it be if the data engineer, AKA me, was involved from the beginning and knew all the rationale behind the decisions they made.
You know, even now I have a list of I think 170 features, that is like inputs that go into the model. And I don't actually know why all of them were chosen because I was given a prototype model and was not involved from the beginning. And you know, we've had conversations with the people who develop that prototype and often their answer is, "oh, that's very interesting. I don't remember."
And so then, what I have to do then is sort of experiment and try to, you know, reverse engineer, I guess is the term, like reverse engineer why they made that choice to get a better understanding. You know, when we're in that boat, when we are given a prototype, we can certainly do our best to, you know, make a surface out of him. We have been able to do that successfully, but I definitely believe that the better model is for, you know, data scientists, data, engineers, analysts, whoever is involved in the product to be all working collaboratively from the beginning. And sharing all of their insights too, because, you know, if I had been involved in the development of the prototype model, I could have maybe told them, you know, for example, your thousands of lines of SQL that engineer, these features it's great, but I really need some tests around this. And maybe that means we don't write it in SQL, maybe we write in a different language.
Maybe I can help you do that. Maybe I can also help you to figure out how to modularize this code so that it doesn't always have to be run in the same sequence otherwise it breaks, et cetera, et cetera. Right.
And this is not to critique those statisticians and scientists, they built a great model. It performs well. But when it comes to maintaining that code and, and making improvements to it, you know, there are certain software engineering practices that they could have benefited from from the very beginning. My ideal at least would be for a data product to be developed with everyone on board and everyone involved in the very initial decisions, even of how to go about creating a new model.
[00:20:33] Thomas: I love that you mentioned this specific instance because I'd really love to dig into it as much as you're willing. So I want to talk about more generally, like how do you get a model into production, but even before we get into that, how do you... if something as complex as a model with tons and tons of inputs are thrown over the fence to you, how do you even begin to probe at it and to ask questions of it?
[00:21:03] Hana: Well, one of the things that you can certainly do is just test the model. But a lot of what we've worked on is figuring out good procedures for validating our models, performance. We have a training set that the model is trained on, and then we have a validation set, which we check to make sure that the model's performance is as good on data that it hasn't been exposed to, as it is to the data that was originally trained on. But in addition to that, we also have what we call like sort of external validation and that's the actual sort of business orders that we receive and we test against that data and see how the model performs there. And often what helps here is having really good domain knowledge.
So we're very lucky that at the client, one of the executives involved has years and years and years of experience in the insurance industry. And so he has a good sense for, "when we look at this order, is it going to be high risk or low risk?" And we've relied a lot on his intuition to try to bring a better understanding of how to fine tune the model set performance.
The data set that we're dealing with is about properties. And a lot of the signal that they paid close attention to is whether there are foreclosures on those properties. And so as a result of that intuition of foreclosures being important, I dug down and looked at all the features that relate to foreclosures and also worked with the data analysts on the team to make sure, well, does this actually reflect what we expect given the external data, this data set, for example, is it reporting foreclosures accurately? Are we deriving information? Because we also have some derived features that we engineer from the data set we receive. So are we deriving certain conclusions about those foreclosures accurately based on what we know about this property from other sources?
So, we've done a lot of that kind of checking to get a better handle on what the important features in the model are actually contributing and whether they're being calculated accurately. But in actuality, when it came down to it and we had to actually end up rebuilding a lot of the not so much the mod. The core model, we didn't have to touch so much, but all the data analysis and all the wrappers around the feature engineering, like a lot of that, had to be rebuilt by us because we were moving it to a different cloud.
[00:23:56] Jerome: When you say feature engineering, I typically think of features on a, on a web app or something like that. What are features for an MLT?
[00:24:06] Hana: Right. So features is the ML term for inputs, basically. So they're anything that you use as an input into your model and in our case, you know, we start off with, I mentioned this earlier, but we start off with a pretty big dataset of, it's actually all public data about properties in the United States.
And it's provided to us by a third-party aggregator. And that just gives us a lot of, sort of raw data with all this information, but then there are some, what we call derived features. Derived features are basically any inputs that we sort of calculate as a combination of fields in the original raw data.
So, you know, I mentioned earlier, you know, like I had to check whether we were calculating things correctly. Like, you know, we have things that we look at, like, you know, what are the number of foreclosures on this property? And a lot of that has to be calculated from this raw data. So either that means aggregating several records in the data, or it means in some cases, just like, like directly calculating like a ratio between two fields.
And then there are like even more complicated cases where, we'll like check, you know, if this value is in this field and this value is in this field, then we'll, you know, the derived feature will have this value and et cetera, et cetera. So as you can imagine that actually ends up becoming a lot of code.
So, I have a lot of this feature-engineering code that was written in SQL to calculate these additional derived features that go into our model.
[00:25:50] Jerome: Thanks for the explanation.
[00:25:52] Thomas: One of the topics that we touched on kind of in our pre-discussion was this idea of a business going from "I have all this data and I'm supposed to harness this for some business intelligence or some product," and a lot of businesses wanting to capture this influx of ML knowledge that's being put out currently from both academia and in practice. But then at the same time, like not a lot of businesses succeeding at that for one reason or another. Their product doesn't get shipped or their model doesn't end up being deployed. Can you talk about where that trend maybe comes from or why you think that pattern seems to be happening over and over again?
[00:26:40] Hana: Right, right. Yeah. So just to provide some context I think it was Gardner who originally sort of... well, it's funny because Gardner first said, you know, businesses that are able to successfully harness data have a competitive advantage over businesses that don't.
And then a couple of years later, they said like, I forgot the exact percentage. I think maybe about 80% of businesses are not able to successfully harness their data and, you know, put their data science products into production. And I think really what it boils down to is that you need to be able to frame the problem that you want to solve with data in a realistic way.
So, that means that you can't just say, oh I expect machine learning to solve my problem of let's say, figuring out what features customers like most in my apps say, that would have relevance to us. You can't say that you want machine learning to solve that problem, and then just expect the solution to fall into your lap.
You need to make sure that you are collecting the right data and then that the data that you're collecting actually can be a proxy for what you are trying to reflect. So this is like the metrics problem, right? Is this actually the right metric for the whole customer satisfaction with features?
Often the metric collect is like the time that a customer spends interacting with it. And that is certainly one measurement. And it does have some correlate with this, you know, complex phenomenon of customer satisfaction, right. But it can also be actually a customer is really frustrated with this feature and that's why they're spending all their time refreshing that page or like clicking that button or whatever.
And yeah, something like a lot of the things that businesses want to solve with data are really complex phenomena that can't be measured directly. So we have all these proxies that we measure instead to try to get at that. But if you don't choose the right proxies and- or even if you just limit yourself to one, you don't get a full picture.
And I think that's one of the issues that's contributing to this. And then, the second aspect that is sort of related is also that I think people find it very hard to reason about data and a large part of this is not really our fault because we, as human beings are basically optimized to recognize patterns everywhere.
Right. But to be able to think critically about data, you have to realize that there's actually a lot of spurious patterns that can be created by noise or by randomness. So you have to be able to set up your problem in the right way that you aren't tempted to over-interpret or similar problem in machine learning is overfitting and detecting patterns where there is none.
You know, one of the things that's nice about software is that, you know, it's pretty predictable, right? You give the computer exact instructions and it follows them often to a fault. And the problem with data is that we're talking about probabilities here and then things become a lot more fuzzy. And randomness starts being something that you have to be able to reason about and account for. And we're, we're just, you know, we have a lot of cognitive biases that make it hard to fight against that and to think about those things.
[00:30:35] Jerome: It sounds like a lot of the value that you're providing as a consultant is helping the organizations in which your clients make this commitment to data integrity to understanding that you don't just get ML. There's many steps to this process and it is a process and it's going to get better and better. For instance, if you implement cross-functional teams. If you are being very diligent about what you're qualifying as a signal, can you talk a little bit more about what that looks like in practice? Like, is there a resistance when you go into an organization? Who just want to know, you know, what feature do my customers like the most?
[00:31:27] Hana: Yeah. I don't think there's necessarily resistance, but I think there's like a lot of analysis paralysis. I think there's a lot of, "well, we want to do this. And we want ML to come in and solve all our problems, but, you know- And we're collecting all this data, but how do we get from one to the other?"
And yeah, it is a process. And I think a large part of the paralysis comes from the idea that it has to all be done at once. Like you build a model and then that's it. But that's actually not it, right? You can build an initial model, but you have to keep updating it. You have to keep checking its performance.
It doesn't end with just developing a model and then putting it behind a web server and saying, okay, go forth and deliver predictions. You have to continually operate it. And I think bringing sort of our ideas about, you know, agile software development and doing things incrementally rather than trying to solve the whole problem in one go is one of the benefits that we could bring to the space.
And which is not to say that companies aren't trying to do it, but I think it's, it's hard to just do it if you don't have a framework for it. And I'm one of the benefits that we have is that we do have a good framework for, for building things incrementally.
[00:32:51] Thomas: So far, we talked a little bit about feature engineering. You mentioned a kind of data pipeline and this like thousands of lines of SQL. Kind of the other parts of data engineering, which I know you have experience with, is validating the performance of the model and tuning that building in that feedback loop. And then also kind of generating useful information from the model for stakeholders who maybe aren't data analysts and can't look at raw numbers.
So yeah, could you fill in those two areas of data engineering with maybe some of your experience?
[00:33:31] Hana: Right. Sure. So as I mentioned, you know it doesn't end with just training a model and, you know, putting it behind a server, you want to actually make sure that it performs and continues to perform well.
So a large part of what I've been working on over the past year is to first of all, develop processes around validation and then also to automate a lot of that and make that- report those validation statistics in a way the business stakeholders can have access to it. That part's actually been really interesting to me because you know, you don't typically think as a data engineer that you would spend a lot of time thinking about how to communicate with the business about the model itself, but actually that is a huge part of the job and it's especially challenging because people do tend to look at ML models as these black boxes, and they're very mysterious and that's intimidating, right?
You can't get a hold of it and you know, you have potentially audit requirements. And so you wonder, well, how am I going to explain? One thing that I've done is, you know, there's false positives and false negatives that come out of the model. Those are two ways that the model can be wrong. And I've tried to translate that into business terms for the stakeholders.
So, you know, a false positive in our cases, you know, unnecessarily spending money on a low risk property that we thought maybe was higher risk than it was. So that's the cost to the business. And then the false negative is a property that turned out to be high risk, but actually was low risk. And, or sorry, no the other way. Property that turned out to be high risk that we thought were as low risk.
And that actually is even more of a concern to the business, right. Because that's a potential insurance claim and they don't want to pay out that claim. So yeah, just like, you know, taking the extra step to translate these statistical metrics into business risks that they understand and then visualizing that so that they can see it clearly.
And I use that to help make decisions because there's always a business decision involved in a model. They can say, "oh, the model's output goes from zero to one." So it's, you know, like some number right. And they could say, "oh, we're going to say you know, 0.9 is high risk or they could say 0.1 is high risk, right?"
The actual interpretation of what those numbers really tangibly mean, well, that's a business decision. So being able to advise them on how to make that decision by giving them the information that they can interpret easily has been a big part of the work that I didn't anticipate when I first started on this project.
[00:36:40] Thomas: Is there a way to cross validate with other datasets to maybe like find bias? I guess what I'm trying to say is like, is there a way to take that property data and somehow map it to like demographic data, for example, and see, "oh, are we more likely to classify a home owned by a person of color as high risk versus low risk."
[00:37:04] Hana: Yeah, no, that's actually a really good point. So I know that both Google and Amazon, and I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft as well, on their cloud platforms specifically around their machine learning services have started to provide tools to check if there are any sort of systematic biases in your predictions that correlate with demographics. In our particular case we're actually, not really using any demographic data about the owner of the house. This isn't to say that there may potentially be some correlates with demographics cause you know, everything does end up you know, correlating somewhat. But at least all the data we're taking in is just about the property itself and not about the owner. There was this study done of a machine learning model that didn't actually take race as an input, but still managed to deliver biased outcomes by race. So, you know, it's a valid concern.
And certainly on our client project, because it's under scrutiny by government regulators, we've done a lot of- we've tried very much to make sure that there is correlation with demographics and no biases that can result.
But across the field as a whole there are often problems where you. Where the data you're dealing with is about people. And then I think the challenge becomes a lot harder. You can't just say, "oh, we're just not going to look at people." In some cases, a problem forces you to look at people and you have to start figuring out ways of checking that your model doesn't have those systematic biases in its predictions.
These tools that have been made available by the cloud platforms are I think, a way of making that easy to access. Whether they're enough or whether they're doing what they claim to do well enough, and I think there's probably certainly a lot of ground there to examine. If I was on a client that was going to make use of these tools, I would want to do that research to make sure. Because, you know, when Amazon says it's providing you a tool to counter algorithmic bias and you know, that Amazon itself has been guilty of algorithmic bias, you kind of wonder, well, is your tool actually gonna be good enough to do this.
So, I think there is a question there. But I think to give a point of all that rambling, it's something that the field is moving towards. And I just I don't know if it's gotten to a point where there's like obvious best practices to follow. But people are starting to build tools for it and are trying to be more explicit about making it part of the whole machine learning development workflow.
[00:39:59] Jerome: How can people get in touch with you? And is there anything really exciting that you're working on or that you've heard about that you want to share?
[00:40:08] Hana: So, to get in touch with me, I am Hana at 8thlight.com. That's Hana. And I'm also @Lee_HN on Twitter. I mostly tweet about my kids.
Occasionally I will tweet about tech and I'm also happy to engage in conversations about tech on Twitter. Yeah. And then interesting things that I've seen... so, my teammate, Pierce, as you two are aware, but for the listeners is also working on a machine learning project for the same client. And he's been using TensorFlow as a framework. And one of the really exciting things that I've that I've been interested by is how TensorFlow has made, at least in theory, a lot easier to package models for production. So a lot of the sort of existing machine learning models. They'll just like package the model itself and they won't. Give you, you know, like all the preprocessing you have to do to the input before it can be fed to the model.
You know, I mentioned earlier that feature engineering pipeline, right? Like, you know, that means like, you know, whenever we would receive an order, we have to make sure we can do those calculations or at least have those calculations ready before we get the prediction from the model. Well, TensorFlow has built this framework so that with your model you don't just have the model itself, but all the pre-processing steps and then also a post-processing, too.
Sometimes you have to- what you get out of the model output is not really what you want to return to whatever web app or service that's going to work with that prediction. Sometimes you have to, you know, further steps to make sure it gets into a shape that's actually usable. So all that, we'll package it together and you can deploy that as like a single container instead of having, you know, separate pieces of code lying around to handle those pre-processing and post-processing steps.
So I think there's a lot of exciting things that are available in TensorFlow as a framework. And I think if I am lucky enough to get onto a machine learning project for my next client, whoever, whenever that may be, I hope I'll have a chance to try it out myself because it looks pretty neat.
[00:42:39] Jerome: Well, Hana, thank you so much for spending this time with us and giving us a very excellent primer in data science, data engineering, machine learning, that whole space. It was just such a pleasure to talk to you and pick your brain. And hopefully we can do it again sometime.
[00:42:59] Hana: Yeah, this was fun for me too, as I said I'm a fan of your podcast. So...
[00:43:06] Jerome: Awesome, thank you.
[00:43:08] Thomas: Thanks, Hana.
Okay, that was a really insightful conversation.
[00:43:20] Jerome: Absolutely.
[00:43:21] Thomas: There's a lot to unpack there.
[00:43:23] Jerome: Yes. I feel like I learned so much.
[00:43:26] Thomas: Well, tell me about it. Tell me what are you what did you learn? What's like, what are you buzzing with right now? What are you thinking about? What correlations are you making?
[00:43:33] Jerome: Yeah, I think the thing that really got to me was just how involved ML is. It's a process. It's something that requires constant attention, constant tweaking. It's a living breathing thing. And I think the point that highlighted that to me the most was the metric problem that Hana was talking about. That time spent on a page could be something good. But it also could just be that a customer's frustrated, you know, with the product. And I couldn't help, but think about training my new puppy and everything that I was reading about when, you know, we were going through the process of choosing a dog and making that decision was, "Hey, be really careful about the signals that you're giving the dog." Right. You could think that raising your hand up in the air is the signal that is getting your dog to sit, but it could actually be that you're raising your eyebrow every time you do that. And the dog is picking up on that instead. And I'm realizing now that I'm comparing my puppy to an ML model and I think that's pretty cool.
[00:44:57] Thomas: Yeah, I think that's super, I mean, that definitely resonates with me. I mean, one is maybe qualitative and one is quantitative, but I mean, yeah. MLS puppy training. I'd read that book.
[00:45:10] Jerome: Yeah. Maybe, maybe there's something there. What about you, Thomas? What sparked joy in that conversation? What got you going?
[00:45:19] Thomas: I mentioned it in our conversation, but as soon as Hana was talking about cross-disciplinary teams, like that little bookmark revealed itself and I was like, oh yeah, we had the same conversation with Jon in an earlier episode. And it's interesting to me because after I realized that connection, there was a lot about what Hana was talking about that I saw was very similar to what we do as software developers and software engineers. There's a process to follow. There's a beginning, middle, and end. There's multiple people across the business domain and the technical domain that need to work together to bring a product forward.
And it seems to be the same in machine learning. Now I'm not saying that I could just like hop in Hana's chair and do what she does instantly, but it did make me realize that. If you're maybe thinking of developing a data product or a data service that you're going to maybe go through similar processes in terms of building your team and managing the development of that project.
Some things are going to be swapped in and out, but like the same amount of work and discipline is required. And similarly, when Hana was talking about the difference between academia and industry, when it comes to offering code, and that the difference that she noticed was in craft, think it's kind of the same thing.
And of course, software development, you can be a coder and write code and use code as a way to kind of- as your primary means of expression to steal something from Jon. But then the other side of that is, I mean, building a product and there's craft that needs to go into that.
[00:47:08] Jerome: What a nice way to put a bow on it, Thomas. And what about you listener? What does this conversation spark for? You have your mental model of machine learning shifted like it has for us. How do you incorporate data insights in your business? What does data engineering look like on your team? Let us know. And until next time.

The Claridge House
The Claridge offers luxury in a historic setting with stellar views of Downtown
Calling The Claridge home might find you waking from dreams of glamorous gowns sweeping the dance floor at one of the city’s premier galas of years gone by. Built in 1924, this beautiful and historic building once housed the 400-room Hotel Claridge. At 17 floors it was the city’s tallest hotel. The elegant Balinese Room and Cascade’s Roof played host to many of the great performers of the day, from the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra to Elvis Presley. The hotel was the center of Memphis social life for decades, until the decline of Downtown led to the closing of The Claridge in December 1968.
But much like the story of Downtown Memphis, rebirth was on the horizon. The building sat vacant until 1980, when it was bought, renovated and reopened in 1984 as Claridge House Apartments. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as Hotel Claridge for its architectural significance from the period of 1900 to 1924.
A 2004 renovation marked the building’s conversion into its current setup for luxury condos. Today, The Claridge features 158 luxury condominiums with 37 distinct floor plans, including studio, one bedroom, two bedroom, townhouse loft and penthouse units. Harking back to its days as luxury lodging, The Claridge features several amenities that might as easily be found in a boutique hotel.
Hotel-style lobby with reception area
24-hour onsite management and staff

Magic Broomstick
I angered the witch.
I borrowed hazel's voice from her, and I dropped it in the river.
It is what it is. I just begged.
Luckily, she had her mercy, though she had no hazel's voice.
She told me she's gonna beat me three times with her broomstick, in return for write-off.
I didn't know.
'Broomstick' was a witch's word for their weapon, made for their own. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11669 | {"url": "https://a_shipwright.artstation.com/projects/lxkOkY", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "a_shipwright.artstation.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:37:44Z", "digest": "sha1:RRR2VST44FR24JIBCCG2KUPBL6HJPV6R"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 372, 372.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 372, 764.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 372, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 372, 31.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 372, 0.99]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 372, 310.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 372, 0.42708333]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 372, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 372, 0.07773852]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 372, 0.05208333]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 372, 0.21875]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 372, 0.68115942]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 372, 4.10144928]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 372, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 372, 3.71792203]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 372, 69.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 17, 0.0], [17, 38, 1.0], [38, 104, 1.0], [104, 137, 1.0], [137, 198, 1.0], [198, 288, 1.0], [288, 303, 1.0], [303, 372, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 17, 0.0], [17, 38, 0.0], [38, 104, 0.0], [104, 137, 0.0], [137, 198, 0.0], [198, 288, 0.0], [288, 303, 0.0], [303, 372, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 17, 2.0], [17, 38, 4.0], [38, 104, 13.0], [104, 137, 8.0], [137, 198, 11.0], [198, 288, 16.0], [288, 303, 3.0], [303, 372, 12.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 17, 0.0], [17, 38, 0.0], [38, 104, 0.0], [104, 137, 0.0], [137, 198, 0.0], [198, 288, 0.0], [288, 303, 0.0], [303, 372, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 17, 0.0], [17, 38, 0.0], [38, 104, 0.0], [104, 137, 0.0], [137, 198, 0.0], [198, 288, 0.0], [288, 303, 0.0], [303, 372, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 17, 0.11764706], [17, 38, 0.04761905], [38, 104, 0.03030303], [104, 137, 0.06060606], [137, 198, 0.01639344], [198, 288, 0.01111111], [288, 303, 0.06666667], [303, 372, 0.01449275]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 372, 0.93643475]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 372, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 372, 0.00348252]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 372, 35.80175694]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 372, 1.21584726]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 372, -35.02989203]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 372, 8.0]]} |
The Place by Mecanoo
AASA 13 August 2019 10 August 2019 Hotel, Interior Design, Mecanoo Architecten, Taiwan
The Place, like its name, brands itself as a hotel that creates a unique visitor experienced that embodies the specific identity of each place. This specificity of place is central to Mecanoo’s “People, Place, Purpose” design philosophy, which emphasizes users, a holistic understanding of the social, historical and physical context, and a response to current and future building functions.
For each assignment, our goal is to seek out the secret of the location to create a unique design that strengthens the distinct identity of the context. In keeping with this design philosophy, Mecanoo’s interiors for The Place hotels in other cities all embody a unique sense of place: The Place in Tainan reinterprets the historic city’s rich streetscape; in Yilan, the hotel is located in the National Center for Traditional Arts and draws its inspiration from local craftsmanship.

By contrasting old and new, mixing of west and east, the hotel becomes a contemporary interpretation of a traditional art form. For the interior design of the The Place hotel in Taipei’s Nangang district, Mecanoo drew inspiration from the local tea production tradition. The tea industry has contributed to shaping the area’s landscape and history, and is part of what makes Nangang unique.
More recently, since shifting from a manufacturing economy to the knowledge-based economy in the late 20th C, Nangang has developed as a sustainable regional centre for conferences and trade shows. The district includes a software park and a High Speed Rail connection to the airport. Mecanoo’s design for the hotel interior combines old and new, tying together these two aspects of Nangang’s distinct identity.
The Nangang district: Pouchong tea
Historically, one of the Nangang district’s most important export products has been Pouchong tea. It is harvested from terraced tea plantations, which have become a popular touristic destination with the Nangang Tea Processing Demonstration Centre. It is a type of Oolong tea with a bright yellow colour. The tea was dried, fermented, packaged and transported and distributed worldwide.
Hotel public area: tea house (socialising)
The hotel is located on the 10th to 20th floors of a mixed-use building. Visitors pass through a ground-floor lobby and arrive at the 10th floor check-in / lounge / dining area, which functions like a Taiwanese tea house. Traditionally, these tea houses are social spaces, not unlike European cafes and bars. Likewise, The Place’s welcoming lobby allows guests to check in, work, rest, dine and socialise.
These services are “highlighted” in a contemporary bright blue linear element, creating a strong contrast with the warm oak walls. This element contains a buffet counter, flexible stepped seating, and several one-step self-check-in points. As in a tea house, hospitality and socialisation are central. Social spaces should have an energetic buzz without becoming overcrowded; depending on the time of day, the size of the lobby can be flexibly adjusted with a system of curtains.
Curtains also add a rich experiential layer to the project; in the 10th floor dining area, overlapping layers of fabric with different degrees of transparency selectively reveal views. In the conference room, a historic photograph of boats transporting tea is reinterpreted for the region’s technology-focussed development. The ca. 60m x 4m printed image is a “digitalised history” – what appears as a historic image from a distance becomes a pattern of 1s and 0s when seen up close.
Hotels rooms: tea fields (production)
While the lobby is a tea house, the hotel corridors and rooms embody the tea production process. The corridor carpet pattern evokes the terraced tea plantation landscape. Stepping into the rooms, the chevron wood floor pattern echoes the woven bamboo baskets for drying tea leaves. The colour palette is natural wood with Pouchong tea-coloured accents. The compact hotels rooms vary between 20 m2 and 43 m2. They are flexible and efficient. The Place is primarily a business hotel, with guests coming for trade fairs and shows.
Storage space and computer working stations are therefore conveniently provided. There are seven types of rooms, each with a compact layout and designed to appear as spacious as possible. To this end, fixed elements are integrated into one box: the bathroom, wardrobe, a place for luggage, a mini bar and a standing workplace. Others are mobile elements: rotating round table, work from bed or chair. Above the standing workplace is a pegboard that provides an assortment of “working tools” for the guests’ stay: chargers, stationary, speakers, tea, cups, even airplants. Source by Mecanoo.

Childbirth is a transformative experience that can leave new mothers feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and emotionally drained. Postpartum yoga is a gentle and effective way to help new mothers recover from childbirth, reduce stress, and improve their overall well-being. In this guide, we’ll explore the benefits of postpartum yoga and provide tips for getting started.
Postpartum Yoga: Benefits for New Mothers
The postpartum period is a time of significant physical and emotional changes for new mothers. Practicing Postpartum Yoga is aimed at promoting physical and mental recovery, and may aid in easing stress and depression following childbirth.Here are some of the key benefits of practicing yoga during this time:
Reducing Stress: The stress of caring for a newborn, combined with physical and emotional changes, can take a toll on a new mother’s mental health. Postpartum yoga is an excellent way to reduce stress and anxiety, helping new mothers feel more relaxed and calm.
Improving Posture: Pregnancy and childbirth can cause changes in posture, leading to back pain and discomfort. Postpartum yoga can help realign the spine and improve posture, reducing pain and discomfort.
Strengthening the Pelvic Floor: The pelvic floor muscles can become weakened during pregnancy and childbirth, leading to issues like incontinence. Postpartum yoga can help strengthen these muscles, reducing the risk of incontinence and other pelvic floor issues.
Promoting Healing: Postpartum yoga can promote healing after childbirth, helping new mothers recover from the physical stress of pregnancy and delivery. It can also help alleviate postpartum depression and other emotional challenges.
Getting Started with Postpartum Yoga
If you’re a new mother interested in practicing postpartum yoga, here are some tips for getting started:
Wait Until You’re Ready: While it’s important to stay active during the postpartum period, it’s essential to wait until your body is ready for yoga. Typically, this means waiting until your healthcare provider gives you the green light to exercise.
Start Slow: Postpartum yoga should be gentle and low-impact, focusing on breathing and relaxation. Start with simple poses and gradually increase intensity as you feel comfortable.
Find a Class or Instructor: Joining a postpartum yoga class or finding an experienced instructor can help ensure you’re practicing safe and effective yoga.
Listen to Your Body: It’s important to listen to your body and avoid any poses or movements that cause pain or discomfort. Postpartum yoga should be a gentle and supportive practice, not a source of stress or injury.
Statistics on Postpartum Health
Here are some relevant statistics on postpartum health that demonstrate the importance of prioritizing postpartum care:
Up to 80% of new mothers experience postpartum “baby blues,” a temporary mood disorder that can cause feelings of sadness, anxiety, and irritability.
Postpartum depression affects around 10-15% of new mothers, with symptoms lasting longer than two weeks.
Approximately 20% of new mothers experience pelvic floor disorders, such as incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.
Studies have shown that practicing yoga during the postpartum period can improve symptoms of postpartum depression, reduce stress, and improve the overall quality of life.
A study published in the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, & Neonatal Nursing found that up to 85% of women experience perineal pain after childbirth.
It’s important to note that postpartum yoga should not be used as a replacement for medical treatment for postpartum depression or other mental health conditions. However, it can be a helpful complementary therapy to support a new mother’s overall well-being.
Postpartum yoga can be a valuable tool for new mothers as they navigate the physical and emotional changes that come with childbirth. From reducing pain and discomfort to improving mental health and overall well-being, the benefits of postpartum yoga are numerous. So if you’re a new mother, consider giving postpartum yoga a try and experiencing the positive impact it can have on your body and mind.
Remember to always listen to your body and talk to your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise routine after childbirth. And most importantly, be kind to yourself as you adjust to your new role as a mother.

How I wish I could “do over” that period of my life.I am not sure you are a girl, I just feel in my heart you are. Either way I love you! I am grateful to our loving God that I will see you one day. I still work to forgive myself. It is a day by day thing. I hope you forgive me and your dad, and I look forward to seeing you in heaven. I love you. You have a younger sister that you will meet one day also.

The Amherst literary monthly, 1892 November
Press of Carpenter & Morehouse
Amherst literary monthly (Amherst, Mass. : 1887)
Volume 7 Number 5 of The Amherst Literary Monthly, a student-run literary journal. The first magazine was published in April 1886 and from then through 1932 it was published during the months of October-June, with some exceptions. From 1932-1955 the magazine suspended publication. Publication resumed in 1955 and continued until 1973 when publication ceased. Since the inception of the magazine, there were numerous title changes: The Amherst Literary Monthly (1886-1910); The Amherst Monthly (1910-1920); Amherst Writing (1920-1928); and Amherst Literary Magazine (1928-1932 and 1955-1973). The journal was often referred to as the Amherst Lit. Throughout its run, the magazine remained a literary publication with issues often including entries such as essays, poems, short stories, satire, prose and verse, letters, literary sketches, editorials, scripts, and book and theater reviews. Some issues also included drawings. The editors of this issue were Herman Babson, Robert P. St. John, Clarence D. Wood, Frank D. Blodgett, and George B. Zug.
This issue was digitized from multiple original sources.

Why have a critique partner?
DEB:
• At the point when we most need to be objective, we are too close to our own story to read it as an unbiased reader, let alone evaluate it critically. Tammy is able to offer perspective that I’ve potentially lost, being so close to my own work. We’re able to see not only technical glitches in each other’s work but also story strengths and weaknesses, and ways to potentially deepen the layers of the story and characters.
• We bring only one opinion or viewpoint to the reading of our own work—and it’s obviously very biased. A critique partner can view our work from a different point of view since they’ve likely had a different upbringing, different life experiences, and therefore have a much different “filter” through which to read your work. (For example, I live in a small town and Tammy lives in a larger city. Amazing what different perspectives that affords us!)
• Since Tammy isn’t so close to my story, she often comes up with ideas or plot directions I never would have dreamed of.
• Almost any two people working together bring two sets of strengths to the table, and offset each other’s weaknesses.
• It makes a solitary occupation so much more fun! Working with Tammy provides that human touch a career in writing is often missing. With the wonder of technology, we’re only a click or call away.
• When one of us is down, we can build each other up! Tammy and I are tough on each other, but we also try to be each other’s biggest fan.
• It’s so much easier to see “mistakes/room for growth” in someone else’s writing. We learn from critiquing each other’s manuscripts, and then can apply those principles to our own writing.
• Brainstorming! With today’s technology, critique partners don’t have to be next-door neighbors or even live in the same state. With applications such as SKYPE (skype.com) and iChat (for Macs), you can “video brainstorm” any time, day or night. And it’s free! Plus, if you use something like Google Talk, you’ll have a “text copy” of all those ideas for future reference.
When is a critique group more appropriate than a one-on-one critique partner? < >
• When you’re first starting out and still learning the basics of writing, it’s good to have input from multiple writers because, chances are, you have a lot of basics you’re still needing to learn. Having multiple critique partners can also help you find your voice as a writer. When Tammy was in a critique group early on, she would watch for similarities in critiques from her writing partners. Would three of the four writers make the same comment about a certain character or plot point? Or would it only be one writer making that particular comment? That helped her to develop confidence in her own voice while still weighing the counsel of others.
• When you desire quick response/input from more than one person about a particular aspect of your work. Life sometimes gets in the way of responding as quickly to tasks as we’d like. Same for writing partners, especially if you’re both on deadlines. The chances of having someone available to read your work in a timely manner are much greater if you’re part of a group.
• When you haven’t found that right critique partner yet (and you’re in God’s “waiting room”). Often, your critique group is where you’ll find a critique partner and—once the time is right, or the group grows to the point of needing to form another branch—you can “offshoot” from the original group and form that more personal critique relationship.
• So that you can learn how to critique. There are many styles of critiquing. Again, it’s not just about pointing out what’s wrong, but about “equipping” another writer to be the best writer possible. Writers often have their specific areas of expertise as well—be it a strength in characterization, dialogue, plot, creating believable story worlds—so being part of a group can expose you to a wider variety of writer strengths, and therefore, opportunities to learn.
Pointers for finding a critique partner:
TAMMY & DEB:
• First and foremost, pray about who God might pair you with.
• Seek someone whose strengths make up for your weaknesses, and vice versa.
• Ask God to keep your heart teachable.
• Attend local or national conferences.
• Be open to critiquing others’ work. (You never know what will come from that offer to help out.)
Whether you’re already in a writing critique group or a writing critique one-on-one partnership, or you’re still looking for that right group or person, the goal is to keep improving your writing skills and honing your craft. None of us ever ceases needing to learn, needing to grow. We want to give God our best, and as King David said in II Samuel 24:24, “I will not offer as a sacrifice to the Lord my God a burnt offering [or in our case, our writing] that costs me nothing.”
So be willing to pay the price, hone your craft, and give God your best. And keep your eyes open to the possibility of a critique partner to share the “cost” along the way.

Report: Lacob fined $500K for high-end tax obligation remarks
Golden State Warriors proprietor Joe Lacob has actually been fined $500,000 by the organization for making “unapproved interactions concerning cumulative negotiating,”according to Adrian Wojnarowski The penalty is just one of the biggest in NBA background.
Earlier this month, Lacob made a look on the “Point Forward” podcast with Andre Iguodala and alsoEvan Turner At one factor, the subject relied on the Warriors’ $346 million complete pay-roll last period, that included a document $170 million high-end tax obligation expense. Here is what Lacob needed to claim:
“The hardest point of all is browsing this high-end tax obligation, however. I returned to New York today for labor conferences. I’m on the board. And you recognize, undoubtedly, the organization desires every person to have an opportunity and also now, there’s a particular component available that thinks we “checkbook win,” we won since we have one of the most wages on our group.”
“The reality is, we’re just $40 million greater than the high-end tax obligation. Now, that’s not tiny however it’s not a large number. We’re $200 million over in complete since the majority of that is this extraordinary chastening high-end tax obligation. And what I take into consideration to be unjust and also I’m mosting likely to claim it on this podcast and also I wish it returns to whoever is paying attention … and also undoubtedly it’s self-seeking for me to claim this, however I believe it’s an extremely unjust system since our group is developed by– all leading 8 gamers are all composed by this group.”
Andrew Wiggins, obviously, was not composed by the Warriors, however the group does have his bird civil liberties, which suggests they can review the cap to re-sign him. And no matter, Lacob has a factor. If you prepare and also create excellent gamers, it ends up being tremendously extra pricey the longer you maintain them with each other. With the vindictive repeater fines for groups that have actually paid the high-end tax obligation in 3 of the previous 4 periods, the guidelines disincentivize groups and also proprietors from preserving their cores for an extensive duration.
At the very same time, winning a champion needs to be challenging, and also it’s tough to sympathize with billionaire proprietors grumbling regarding a high-end tax obligation expense. The worth of franchise business has actually increased for many years, and also proprietors can constantly offer their group for a large earnings if they feel its obtained as well pricey to remain in the video game.

Structure and feasibility of extra practice during stroke rehabilitation: A systematic scoping review
Stewart, Claire, McCluskey, Annie, Ada, Louise and Kuys, Suzanne. (2017). Structure and feasibility of extra practice during stroke rehabilitation: A systematic scoping review. Australian Occupational Therapy Journal. 64(3), pp. 204 - 217. https://doi.org/10.1111/1440-1630.12351

Background/aim: Improved motor performance is related to the amount of practice completed after a stroke. Australian guidelines recommend that at least one hour of active practice should be completed per day. Yet active practice levels remain low. The aims of this scoping review were to describe how extra practice at the activity level is structured for stroke survivors, and explore the feasibility of participants completing extra practice. Methods: A systematic search was conducted of five electronic databases up to August 2015. Trials were included when the intended dose of the control intervention was less than the experimental intervention. The structure of extra practice was classified by the level of supervision, type of personnel, and whether equipment was used. Feasibility of practice was explored by comparing the intended and actual dose of practice completed. Results: Thirty‐five trials, comprising 40 comparisons were included. Multiple configurations of personnel, supervision and equipment were used to structure extra practice. The structure most often used was full supervision by staff without equipment (30 comparisons), typically involving a therapist (17 comparisons), with equipment being used occasionally (12 comparisons). Sixteen comparisons reported both the intended and the actual dose of extra practice completed. The mean percentage of actual extra practice completed was 80% (SD 18) of the intended dose. Conclusions: Extra practice during rehabilitation after stroke is most often structured using full supervision by a therapist, and appears feasible for stroke survivors to complete.

An Introduction to the Fundamentals of the Periodontics Specialty
Natalie Kaweckyj, LDA,RF, CDA, CDPMA, COA, COMSA, CPFDA, CRFDA, MADAA, BA
Periodontics is the dental specialty that deals with the cause, prevention, and treatment of diseases of the supporting tissues of the teeth. The supporting tissues include the gingiva, the periodontal ligaments, the cementum, and the alveolar bone. Diseases that affect these tissues are called periodontal diseases. The main cause of periodontal diseases is the bacteria in dental plaque, but other factors can contribute to their progression. These factors include malocclusion, overhanging restorations, poorly fitting appliances or prostheses, cigarette and/or e-cigarette smoking, improper nutrition, stress, systemic diseases, heredity, hormonal imbalances, and certain medications.
CASE TYPES OF PERIODONTAL DISEASE
There are five case types of periodontal disease, ranging from the least to the most severe. These are described below.
Case Type I
Gingivitis: inflammation of the gingiva only (appears red and puffy, no stippling, bleeds easily, less than 4 mm pocket depth, no bone loss).
Case Type II
Early Periodontitis: inflammation progresses into the alveolar bone crest (pocket depth of 4-6 mm, early bone loss).
Case Type III
Moderate Periodontitis: increased destruction of periodontal structures (deep pockets, some tooth mobility due to bone loss).
Case Type IV
Advanced Periodontitis: severe destruction of periodontal structures (increased pocket depth, and tooth mobility).
Case Type V
Refractory Periodontitis: periodontal disease is resistant to treatment and continues to progress (usually ends with loss of the teeth).
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES FOR PERIODONTAL DISEASE
Medical and Dental History
As with all aspects of dentistry, the patient's medical and dental history is an essential part of the diagnostic procedures. The medical history may reveal systemic conditions that could attribute to periodontal disease, such as diabetes. The dental history should have questions regarding the patient's current home care practices and how the patient feels about keeping their teeth, as well as symptoms that may indicate periodontal disease.
Extraoral Exam
The periodontist will usually begin the clinical examination by first observing extraoral features such as the skin and eyes. The temporomandibular joint, the lymph nodes, the salivary glands, and the lips will also be palpated.
Intraoral and Periodontal Exam
The intraoral exam will include observation of the appearance of all intraoral structures, including:
• sensitivity of teeth
• migration, or shifting, of teeth
• defective restorations or improperly fitting appliances or prostheses
• the presence of plaque and calculus, both supragingivally and subgingivally
• the color, size, shape, consistency, texture, and bleeding of the gingiva
• the amount of bleeding (healthy gingiva does not bleed)
• the amount of exudate
• tooth mobility - measured on a scale of 0-3, with 0 being no mobility, 1 being slight (1 mm of movement), 2 being moderate (2 mm of movement), and 3 being severe (3 mm of movement)
• furcation involvement
• presence of recession
• depth of periodontal pockets - measured in six different areas on each tooth (MF, F, DF, ML, L, DL)
• signs of bruxism, clenching, or improper occlusion - which places excessive forces on the teeth that may lead to bone loss.
All of this information is recorded in the patient's record. There are many forms available for recording the periodontal examination, and the dental assistant must be familiar with the forms as well as the charting notations and symbols used by the dentist. Figure 1 illustrates a periodontal chart.
A periodontal chart is also referred to as a gum chart. It is a graphic chart the dental team uses for organizing the information about patient's gingival health. Periodontal charting is the best way to uncover the difference between patients that are periodontally healthy and those with periodontal disease.
The area between the gingiva and tooth is known as the sulcus or pocket. Periodontal charting is normally done at each visit to monitor gingival health. This measuring is done with a periodontal probe in millimeters in the cuff of the gum line and the point at which the gum actually attaches to the tooth.
Healthy gums have pockets that are usually 2-3 mm, anything over 5 mm means the bone that supports the tooth is being degraded by periodontal disease. Bleeding is also a sign of gingivitis and gum disease, as healthy gums do not tend to bleed.
0-3 mm without bleeding - great oral hygiene with no signs of gingivitis.
1-3 mm with bleeding - signs of gingivitis. Improved at-home oral care as well as further dental prophylaxis are prescribed.
3-5 mm with no bleeding - this means there is the potential for periodontal disease. A routine cleaning cannot go below 3 mm, so further in-depth visits to the dentist will be needed.
3-5 mm with bleeding - early stages of gum disease, the beginnings of periodontitis. This may require additional treatment, better home care, and three to four visits to the dentist per year.
5-7 mm with bleeding - this means soft and hard tissue damage, as well as bone loss. Definitive treatment is required, over several visits, with greatly improved home care and many more hygiene visits to prevent tooth loss.
7 mm and above, with bleeding -this is advanced-stage periodontal disease and aggressive treatment is needed in order to save the dentition. Surgery will probably be needed to repair the bone loss. Periodontal maintenance is definitely required frequently.
When charting, the assistant will verify where the dental practitioner will be starting the probing. It is also important to know what teeth are missing and to notate on the chart prior to beginning the documentation. Most dental professionals will begin on the patient's upper right on the DB of the most posterior tooth present. The next reading would be the buccal (B) of that same tooth, followed by the MB reading on that tooth before moving onto the next tooth. When the midline is crossed, it is usually verbally mentioned to confirm position of probing to the documented charting. Once the dental team member reaches the upper left DB reading of the most posterior tooth, they usually swing around and do all of the lingual readings back to the patient's upper right quadrant. The team member then drops down to the mandibular arch and either begins on the distolingual or distobuccal surfaces of the most posterior tooth present. The process is repeated until the entire dentition is charted. Bleeding points are noted with a red circle around the reading on the surface of any tooth that bleeds upon probing. Mobility or movement of a tooth is noted with a 0, 1, 2, or 3, and furcation involvement is noted with Roman numerals I, II, III. Reading for probing that are 0-3 are marked in blue and anything over a reading of 3 is marked in red.
Radiographic Evaluation
Radiographs, when used in conjunction with the clinical examination, are an important aid in evaluating periodontal disease because they can help determine the pattern, distribution, and severity of bone loss. They also allow the dentist to document the progression of the disease.1 The pattern of bone loss can be vertical (on individual teeth on the interproximal surface) or horizontal (occurring in a plane parallel to the cementoenamel junctions of adjacent teeth). The distribution can be localized (in an isolated area), or generalized (occurring evenly throughout the oral cavity). The severity can be mild (bone loss of up to 30%), moderate (bone loss of 30%-50%), or severe (bone loss of 50% or more).
Study Models and Photographs
Study models and photographs also provide the dentist with a means of evaluation and documentation of the patient's oral conditions.
PERIODONTAL INSTRUMENTS
Some of the instruments that are used in periodontics are shown in Figure 2a and Figure 2b. These include the explorer, periodontal probe, curettes, and scalers (manual and ultrasonic). In addition, the periodontist may use the following instruments:
Chisel Scaler
A chisel scaler is used to remove supragingival deposits from the interproximal areas of anterior teeth.
Hoe Scaler
A hoe scaler is used to remove heavy supragingival deposits on the buccal and lingual surfaces of teeth, usually the posterior teeth.
File Scaler
A file scaler is used for crushing heavy calculus deposits, for root planing, and for removing overhanging margins of restorations.
Pocket Marker
A pocket marker looks similar to cotton pliers, but one beak is straight and thin and one is bent at a right angle at the tip. The straight end is placed inside the pocket and when the beaks are pinched a pinpoint perforation is made on the gingival tissue, which corresponds to the base of the pocket. The markings are used to outline the area for a gingivectomy, which will be described later.
Periodontal knives, such as Kirkland knives, are used to remove gingival tissue during periodontal surgery. Orban knives are used to remove interdental tissue.
Surgical Scalpels
Scalpels, sometimes referred to as a Bard-Parker, is a blade or knife that is used to make an incision. They are available with reusable or disposable handles. The blades are always single use and are disposed of in the sharps container. The blades are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. Extreme caution must be used when placing the blade on the handle and when removing the blade.
Periosteal elevators are used to lift and reflect (retract) incised soft tissue.
Rongeurs, or nippers, are similar to a pair of pliers. They are used to clip soft tissue tags and to remove sharp pieces of bone.
Electrosurgery uses tiny electrical currents to incise the gingiva and to coagulate the blood during the procedure. The cutting tips are available in a variety of shapes for various uses. It is important that the dental assistant keep the oral evacuator tip near the surgical site in order to remove the odor of the burning tissue.
NONSURGICAL PERIODONTAL TREATMENTS
The type of treatment for periodontal disease will depend on the severity of each case. In order for the treatment to be effective, however, the patient must be positively motivated and take an active role in his/her treatment by following through with a daily personal oral hygiene program. Treatment will often require several appointments, and usually begins with conservative, nonsurgical techniques.
Scaling involves the complete removal of plaque and calculus from the teeth. During a routine prophylaxis, the plaque and calculus are removed from above and just below the gingival margin. This is performed when a patient has gingivitis, or Case Type I periodontal disease. A periodontal scaling involves the removal of subgingival calculus in deep periodontal pockets. For this procedure, the patient will usually be scheduled to have only one or two quadrants scaled at a time and a local anesthetic is often administered.
After the calculus has been removed from the root surface, the cementum may be rough. These rough areas will provide an ideal place for plaque and calculus to accumulate once again. Root planing is the process of planing, or shaving, the root surface with a curette to make it smooth, preventing the accumulation of plaque and calculus. Scaling and root planing may be performed when a patient has Case Type II or III periodontal disease. In some cases, gingival curettage is required.
Gingival Curettage
Gingival curettage is the process of removing the necrotic tissue from the wall of the periodontal pocket. A curette is used to scrape the damaged tissue. This procedure is performed after scaling and root planing. After scaling, root planing, and gingival curettage, the patient is instructed to take a mild analgesic for discomfort, and to avoid spicy foods, citrus foods, and alcoholic beverages. The patient is also instructed to avoid smoking, which will delay healing. The dental team must also stress good home care.
Antimicrobial and Antibiotic Treatment
Antimicrobial mouthrinses and antibiotics are sometimes used in conjunction with scaling and root planing. Chlorhexidine is a commonly used antimicrobial mouthrinse. The patient may also be prescribed a systemic antibiotic. Another method of adjunctive treatment consists of inserting fibers impregnated with the antibiotic tetracycline into the gingival sulcus.
Occlusal Equilibration
Some degree of occlusal forces helps to keep the periodontium healthy. Excessive forces, as mentioned earlier, may be damaging. Forces that move the teeth out of position may injure the periodontal tissues.2 Occlusal trauma may accelerate pocket formation (though it does not cause pocket formation), cause tooth mobility, bone loss, tooth migration, and temporomandibular joint disorders.3 In order to eliminate occlusal interferences, the dentist may perform an occlusal equilibration. During this procedure, the occlusal interferences are located with articulating paper and are removed by selectively grinding the teeth with diamond burs. The procedure is usually done quadrant by quadrant and may require several appointments to equilibrate the entire mouth. The teeth are polished with rubber wheels after the grinding is complete.
Patient Education and Home Care
The patient should not only be taught good home care techniques such as brushing and flossing, but he/she should also be instructed on other periodontal aids, such as interproximal brushes or irrigation, which are appropriate for his/her situation.
SURGICAL PERIODONTAL TREATMENTS
When the conservative treatments described above are not successful, it may be necessary to perform a surgical procedure in order to treat the periodontal disease. Periodontal surgery may accomplish the following3:
• reduce or eliminate periodontal pockets
• create or improve access to the root surface
• correct bone defects
• create new attached gingiva
Some of the common surgical procedures are described below.
Gingevectomy
A gingivectomy is performed in order to eliminate the periodontal pocket. This procedure involves the cutting away of the diseased gingival tissue that forms the pocket. A pocket marker is used to mark the depth of the pockets and then the gingival tissue is removed with a periodontal knife, a scalpel, or electrosurgery.
Gingival Graft
A gingival graft involves taking tissue from a donor site, usually the palate, and placing it on another site, usually an area of severe recession. The graft tissue is sutured in place and both the donor site and the graft site may be covered with a periodontal dressing to allow healing to take place.
Periodontal flap surgery involves the surgical separation of the gingiva from the underlying tooth roots and alveolar bone. The flap of tissue is retracted with a periosteal elevator and the periodontist is then able to scale and plane the exposed roots, and/or recontour the alveolar bone. The flap is then repositioned and sutured in place. A periodontal dressing may be placed over the site to protect it.
Osseous, or bone, surgery is performed in order to correct defects in the alveolar bone. A flap is made and the bone is either removed (subtractive osseous surgery), or augmented with bone from a donor site (graft) or augmented with a bone substitute (additive osseous surgery).
SUTURE PLACEMENT AND REMOVAL
Often it is necessary to place sutures at the surgical site. Sutures are placed in order to hold the tissues in the proper position during healing. They consist of a curved needle attached to the suture material. The needles are available in various sizes, and the suture material is available in absorbable (which will not need to be removed) or non-absorbable material (which will need to be removed). The supplies needed for placement of sutures include the suture material, hemostat (which looks like a pair of scissors, but has serrated beaks and locking handles and is used for grasping and holding objects or tissue), needle holder (which is similar to a hemostat, but has a groove in the beaks for holding the needle), suture scissors, and gauze sponges.
The assistant will prepare the sutures by placing the needle holder in the correct position on the suture needle, usually with the tip of the holder just grasping the needle at right angles and about two thirds of the way from the tip of the needle. While the dentist is placing the sutures, the assistant should keep the suture off the patient's face, retract tissues as needed, and maintain visibility. The dentist may have the assistant cut the finished sutures at the length indicated, usually 2-3 mm of suture material beyond the knot. The number of sutures placed is usually recorded in the patient's record. Sutures are usually left in place for 5-7 days. They should not be left longer than this because they may increase the contamination of the underlying tissues.4 Prior to removal of the sutures, the dentist must check the site to evaluate healing. If the healing has progressed satisfactorily, the sutures can be removed. In some states, the assistant is allowed to remove sutures. The assistant should check the patient's record to find out how many sutures were placed. The area should be cleaned gently with a cotton-tipped applicator that has been soaked in hydrogen peroxide. Using cotton pliers, the knot of the suture is gently held away from the tissue. The sutures are cut as close to the tissue as possible by slipping one blade of the suture scissors under the suture. The knot is gently pulled toward the incision line, so that the suture slides through the tissue. The knot is never pulled through the tissue. Suture material that has been exposed in the oral cavity should not be pulled through the tissue, because it is contaminated with oral bacteria and debris.5 The sutures are placed on a gauze as they are removed and then counted to be sure all have been removed.
SURGICAL DRESSING PLACEMENT AND REMOVAL
A periodontal dressing is often placed over the surgery site following the procedure (Table 1). The dressing acts as a bandage for the site, protecting the tissues from trauma during the healing process. It also helps to reduce postoperative discomfort, infection, and hemorrhage, and it helps to support mobile teeth. Depending on the state practice act, some states allow a dental assistant to place and remove a periodontal dressing. Periodontal dressings are available in three types: zinc oxide-eugenol materials, non-eugenol materials, and light-cured materials. Zinc oxide-eugenol dressing materials are supplied as a powder and liquid that can be mixed before the procedure and stored until it is needed. The eugenol in these materials may cause an allergic reaction for some patients, with redness and a burning sensation in the area. Non-eugenol materials are more commonly used because they do not produce allergic reactions. They are supplied as a two-paste system; they are dispensed in equal portions and mixed immediately prior to use. Light-cured materials are supplied in a syringe-type dispenser that requires no mixing. They can be injected directly onto the surgical site and molded into place.
POSTOPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS
Following periodontal surgery, the patient should be given both oral and written postoperative instructions. These instructions could include the following (depending on the situation):
1. Do not eat or drink for 2 hours after the surgery.
2. Eat a normal diet, but avoid hot, spicy, and hard foods, citrus fruit, and alcoholic beverages. Chew on the opposite side of the mouth.
3. Mild to moderate discomfort may be experienced. Take the medication as instructed on the prescription given.
4. Do not rinse for the first 24 hours. After that time, rinse frequently with warm salt water (1 tsp. of salt in 8 oz. of water).
5. Brush and floss as normal the areas of the mouth not involved in the surgery. Brush only the biting surfaces of the teeth involved in the surgery. If there is no periodontal dressing, brush and floss carefully, but do not bring the floss under the gumline.
6. If the patient has sutures, but no dressing, they should remain in the area for about one week. Some sutures may loosen and be lost. Do not be concerned unless there is bleeding.
7. If a periodontal dressing has been placed:
- The dressing should remain in place for about 7-10 days.
- Clean the outside of the dressing with moistened cotton swab.
- Avoid "playing" with the dressing with tongue or fingers.
- Small pieces of dressing may break off. This is normal. If large pieces break off, or if the entire dressing is lost, call the dental office.
- If there is obvious bleeding under the dressing, call the dental office.
8. Avoid excessive exercise for the first few days.
9. Some swelling may occur. Place an ice pack on the face over the area for ten minutes, remove for ten minutes. Repeat as needed.
10. A slight amount of seepage may occur; if it is excessive, call the dental office.
11. Call the dental office if any heavy bleeding, severe pain, or any other unexpected symptom is experienced.
12. Return to the dental office for a follow-up visit (usually about 1 week after surgery) at the scheduled time. At this time, the area will be evaluated and the sutures/periodontal dressing will be removed.

A Few Notes On The Culture
by Iain M Banks
FIRSTLY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: THE CULTURE DOESN’T REALLY EXIST. IT ONLY EXISTS IN MY MIND AND THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE WHO’VE READ ABOUT IT.
That having been made clear:
The Culture is a group-civilisation formed from seven or eight humanoid species, space-living elements of which established a loose federation approximately nine thousand years ago. The ships and habitats which formed the original alliance required each others’ support to pursue and maintain their independence from the political power structures — principally those of mature nation-states and autonomous commercial concerns — they had evolved from.
The galaxy (our galaxy) in the Culture stories is a place long lived-in, and scattered with a variety of life-forms. In its vast and complicated history it has seen waves of empires, federations, colonisations, die-backs, wars, species-specific dark ages, renaissances, periods of mega-structure building and destruction, and whole ages of benign indifference and malign neglect. At the time of the Culture stories, there are perhaps a few dozen major space-faring civilisations, hundreds of minor ones, tens of thousands of species who might develop space-travel, and an uncountable number who have been there, done that, and have either gone into locatable but insular retreats to contemplate who-knows-what, or disappeared from the normal universe altogether to cultivate lives even less comprehensible.
In this era, the Culture is one of the more energetic civilisations, and initially — after its formation, which was not without vicissitudes — by a chance of timing found a relatively quiet galaxy around it, in which there were various other fairly mature civilisations going about their business, traces and relics of the elder cultures scattered about the place, and — due to the fact nobody else had bothered to go wandering on a grand scale for a comparatively long time — lots of interesting ‘undiscovered’ star systems to explore…
The Culture, in its history and its on-going form, is an expression of the idea that the nature of space itself determines the type of civilisations which will thrive there.
The thought processes of a tribe, a clan, a country or a nation-state are essentially two-dimensional, and the nature of their power depends on the same flatness. Territory is all-important; resources, living-space, lines of communication; all are determined by the nature of the plane (that the plane is in fact a sphere is irrelevant here); that surface, and the fact the species concerned are bound to it during their evolution, determines the mind-set of a ground-living species. The mind-set of an aquatic or avian species is, of course, rather different.
Essentially, the contention is that our currently dominant power systems cannot long survive in space; beyond a certain technological level a degree of anarchy is arguably inevitable and anyway preferable.
To survive in space, ships/habitats must be self-sufficient, or very nearly so; the hold of the state (or the corporation) over them therefore becomes tenuous if the desires of the inhabitants conflict significantly with the requirements of the controlling body. On a planet, enclaves can be surrounded, besieged, attacked; the superior forces of a state or corporation — hereafter referred to as hegemonies — will tend to prevail. In space, a break-away movement will be far more difficult to control, especially if significant parts of it are based on ships or mobile habitats. The hostile nature of the vacuum and the technological complexity of life support mechanisms will make such systems vulnerable to outright attack, but that, of course, would risk the total destruction of the ship/habitat, so denying its future economic contribution to whatever entity was attempting to control it.
Outright destruction of rebellious ships or habitats — pour encouragez les autres — of course remains an option for the controlling power, but all the usual rules of uprising realpolitik still apply, especially that concerning the peculiar dialectic of dissent which — simply stated — dictates that in all but the most dedicatedly repressive hegemonies, if in a sizable population there are one hundred rebels, all of whom are then rounded up and killed, the number of rebels present at the end of the day is not zero, and not even one hundred, but two hundred or three hundred or more; an equation based on human nature which seems often to baffle the military and political mind. Rebellion, then (once space-going and space-living become commonplace), becomes easier than it might be on the surface of a planet.
Even so, this is certainly the most vulnerable point in the time-line of the Culture’s existence, the point at which it is easiest to argue for things turning out quite differently, as the extent and sophistication of the hegemony’s control mechanisms — and its ability and will to repress — battles against the ingenuity, skill, solidarity and bravery of the rebellious ships and habitats, and indeed the assumption here is that this point has been reached before and the hegemony has won… but it is also assumed that — for the reasons given above — that point is bound to come round again, and while the forces of repression need to win every time, the progressive elements need only triumph once.
Concomitant with this is the argument that the nature of life in space — that vulnerability, as mentioned above — would mean that while ships and habitats might more easily become independent from each other and from their legally progenitative hegemonies, their crew — or inhabitants — would always be aware of their reliance on each other, and on the technology which allowed them to live in space. The theory here is that the property and social relations of long-term space-dwelling (especially over generations) would be of a fundamentally different type compared to the norm on a planet; the mutuality of dependence involved in an environment which is inherently hostile would necessitate an internal social coherence which would contrast with the external casualness typifying the relations between such ships/habitats. Succinctly; socialism within, anarchy without. This broad result is — in the long run — independent of the initial social and economic conditions which give rise to it.
Let me state here a personal conviction that appears, right now, to be profoundly unfashionable; which is that a planned economy can be more productive — and more morally desirable — than one left to market forces.
The market is a good example of evolution in action; the try-everything-and-see-what- -works approach. This might provide a perfectly morally satisfactory resource-management system so long as there was absolutely no question of any sentient creature ever being treated purely as one of those resources. The market, for all its (profoundly inelegant) complexities, remains a crude and essentially blind system, and is — without the sort of drastic amendments liable to cripple the economic efficacy which is its greatest claimed asset — intrinsically incapable of distinguishing between simple non-use of matter resulting from processal superfluity and the acute, prolonged and wide-spread suffering of conscious beings.
It is, arguably, in the elevation of this profoundly mechanistic (and in that sense perversely innocent) system to a position above all other moral, philosophical and political values and considerations that humankind displays most convincingly both its present intellectual [immaturity and] — through grossly pursued selfishness rather than the applied hatred of others — a kind of synthetic evil.
Intelligence, which is capable of looking farther ahead than the next aggressive mutation, can set up long-term aims and work towards them; the same amount of raw invention that bursts in all directions from the market can be — to some degree — channelled and directed, so that while the market merely shines (and the feudal gutters), the planned lases, reaching out coherently and efficiently towards agreed-on goals. What is vital for such a scheme, however, and what was always missing in the planned economies of our world’s experience, is the continual, intimate and decisive participation of the mass of the citizenry in determining these goals, and designing as well as implementing the plans which should lead towards them.
Of course, there is a place for serendipity and chance in any sensibly envisaged plan, and the degree to which this would affect the higher functions of a democratically designed economy would be one of the most important parameters to be set… but just as the information we have stored in our libraries and institutions has undeniably outgrown (if not outweighed) that resident in our genes, and just as we may, within a century of the invention of electronics, duplicate — through machine sentience — a process which evolution took billions of years to achieve, so we shall one day abandon the grossly targeted vagaries of the market for the precision creation of the planned economy.
The Culture, of course, has gone beyond even that, to an economy so much a part of society it is hardly worthy of a separate definition, and which is limited only by imagination, philosophy (and manners), and the idea of minimally wasteful elegance; a kind of galactic ecological awareness allied to a desire to create beauty and goodness.
Whatever; in the end practice (as ever) will outshine theory.
As mentioned above, there is another force at work in the Culture aside from the nature of its human inhabitants and the limitations and opportunities presented by life in space, and that is Artificial Intelligence. This is taken for granted in the Culture stories, and — unlike FTL travel — is not only likely in the future of our own species, but probably inevitable (always assuming homo sapiens avoids destruction).
Certainly there are arguments against the possibility of Artificial Intelligence, but they tend to boil down to one of three assertions: one, that there is some vital field or other presently intangible influence exclusive to biological life — perhaps even carbon-based biological life — which may eventually fall within the remit of scientific understanding but which cannot be emulated in any other form (all of which is neither impossible nor likely); two, that self-awareness resides in a supernatural soul — presumably linked to a broad-based occult system involving gods or a god, reincarnation or whatever — and which one assumes can never be understood scientifically (equally improbable, though I do write as an atheist); and, three, that matter cannot become self-aware (or more precisely that it cannot support any informational formulation which might be said to be self-aware or taken together with its material substrate exhibit the signs of self-awareness). …I leave all the more than nominally self-aware readers to spot the logical problem with that argument.
It is, of course, entirely possible that real AIs will refuse to have anything to do with their human creators (or rather, perhaps, the human creators of their non-human creators), but assuming that they do — and the design of their software may be amenable to optimization in this regard — I would argue that it is quite possible they would agree to help further the aims of their source civilisation (a contention we’ll return to shortly). At this point, regardless of whatever alterations humanity might impose on itself through genetic manipulation, humanity would no longer be a one-sentience-type species. The future of our species would affect, be affected by and coexist with the future of the AI life-forms we create.
The Culture reached this phase at around the same time as it began to inhabit space. Its AIs cooperate with the humans of the civilisation; at first the struggle is simply to survive and thrive in space; later — when the technology required to do so has become mundane — the task becomes less physical, more metaphysical, and the aims of civilisation moral rather than material.
Briefly, nothing and nobody in the Culture is exploited. It is essentially an automated civilisation in its manufacturing processes, with human labour restricted to something indistinguishable from play, or a hobby.
No machine is exploited, either; the idea here being that any job can be automated in such a way as to ensure that it can be done by a machine well below the level of potential consciousness; what to us would be a stunningly sophisticated computer running a factory (for example) would be looked on by the Culture’s AIs as a glorified calculator, and no more exploited than an insect is exploited when it pollinates a fruit tree a human later eats a fruit from.
Where intelligent supervision of a manufacturing or maintenance operation is required, the intellectual challenge involved (and the relative lightness of the effort required) would make such supervision rewarding and enjoyable, whether for human or machine. The precise degree of supervision required can be adjusted to a level which satisfies the demand for it arising from the nature of the civilisation’s members. People — and, I’d argue, the sort of conscious machines which would happily cooperate with them — hate to feel exploited, but they also hate to feel useless. One of the most important tasks in setting up and running a stable and internally content civilisation is finding an acceptable balance between the desire for freedom of choice in one’s actions (and the freedom from mortal fear in one’s life) and the need to feel that even in a society so self-correctingly Utopian one is still contributing something. Philosophy matters, here, and sound education.
Education in the Culture is something that never ends; it may be at its most intense in the first tenth or so of an individual’s life, but it goes on until death (another subject we’ll return to). To live in the Culture is to live in a fundamentally rational civilisation (this may preclude the human species from ever achieving something similar; our history is, arguably, not encouraging in this regard). The Culture is quite self-consciously rational, sceptical, and materialist. Everything matters, and nothing does. Vast though the Culture may be — thirty trillion people, scattered fairly evenly through the galaxy — it is thinly spread, exists for now solely in this one galaxy, and has only been around for an eyeblink, compared to the life of the universe. There is life, and enjoyment, but what of it? Most matter is not animate, most that is animate is not sentient, and the ferocity of evolution pre-sentience (and, too often, post-sentience) has filled uncountable lives with pain and suffering. And even universes die, eventually. (Though we’ll come back to that, too.)
In the midst of this, the average Culture person — human or machine — knows that they are lucky to be where they are when they are. Part of their education, both initially and continually, comprises the understanding that beings less fortunate — though no less intellectually or morally worthy — than themselves have suffered and, elsewhere, are still suffering. For the Culture to continue without terminal decadence, the point needs to be made, regularly, that its easy hedonism is not some ground-state of nature, but something desirable, assiduously worked for in the past, not necessarily easily attained, and requiring appreciation and maintenance both in the present and the future.
An understanding of the place the Culture occupies in the history and development of life in the galaxy is what helps drive the civilisation’s largely cooperative and — it would claim — fundamentally benign techno-cultural diplomatic policy, but the ideas behind it go deeper. Philosophically, the Culture accepts, generally, that questions such as ‘What is the meaning of life?’ are themselves meaningless. The question implies — indeed an answer to it would demand — a moral framework beyond the only moral framework we can comprehend without resorting to superstition (and thus abandoning the moral framework informing — and symbiotic with — language itself).
In summary, we make our own meanings, whether we like it or not.
The same self-generative belief-system applies to the Culture’s AIs. They are designed (by other AIs, for virtually all of the Culture’s history) within very broad parameters, but those parameters do exist; Culture AIs are designed to want to live, to want to experience, to desire to understand, and to find existence and their own thought-processes in some way rewarding, even enjoyable.
The humans of the Culture, having solved all the obvious problems of their shared pasts to be free from hunger, want, disease and the fear of natural disaster and attack, would find it a slightly empty existence only and merely enjoying themselves, and so need the good-works of the Contact section to let them feel vicariously useful. For the Culture’s AIs, that need to feel useful is largely replaced by the desire to experience, but as a drive it is no less strong. The universe — or at least in this era, the galaxy — is waiting there, largely unexplored (by the Culture, anyway), its physical principles and laws quite comprehensively understood but the results of fifteen billion years of the chaotically formative application and interaction of those laws still far from fully mapped and evaluated.
By Goîdel out of Chaos, the galaxy is, in other words, an immensely, intrinsically, and inexhaustibly interesting place; an intellectual playground for machines that know everything except fear and what lies hidden within the next uncharted stellar system.
This is where I think one has to ask why any AI civilisation — and probably any sophisticated culture at all — would want to spread itself everywhere in the galaxy (or the universe, for that matter). It would be perfectly possible to build a Von Neumann machine that would build copies of itself and eventually, unless stopped, turn the universe into nothing but those self-copies, but the question does arise; why? What is the point? To put it in what we might still regard as frivolous terms but which the Culture would have the wisdom to take perfectly seriously, where is the fun in that?
Interest — the delight in experience, in understanding — comes from the unknown; understanding is a process as well as a state, denoting the shift from the unknown to the known, from the random to the ordered… a universe where everything is already understood perfectly and where uniformity has replaced diversity, would, I’d contend, be anathema to any self-respecting AI.
Probably only humans find the idea of Von Neumann machines frightening, because we half-understand — and even partially relate to — the obsessiveness of the ethos such constructs embody. An AI would think the idea mad, ludicrous and — perhaps most damning of all — boring.
This is not to say that the odd Von-Neumann-machine event doesn’t crop up in the galaxy every now and again (probably by accident rather than design), but something so rampantly monomaniac is unlikely to last long pitched against beings possessed of a more rounded wit, and which really only want to alter the Von Neumann machine’s software a bit and make friends…
One idea behind the Culture as it is depicted in the stories is that it has gone through cyclical stages during which there has been extensive human-machine interfacing, and other stages (sometimes coinciding with the human-machine eras) when extensive genetic alteration has been the norm. The era of the stories written so far — dating from about 1300 AD to 2100 AD — is one in which the people of the Culture have returned, probably temporarily, to something more ‘classical’ in terms of their relations with the machines and the potential of their own genes.
The Culture recognises, expects and incorporates fashions — albeit long-term fashions — in such matters. It can look back to times when people lived much of their lives in what we would now call cyberspace, and to eras when people chose to alter themselves or their children through genetic manipulation, producing a variety of morphological sub-species. Remnants of the various waves of such civilisational fashions can be found scattered throughout the Culture, and virtually everyone in the Culture carries the results of genetic manipulation in every cell of their body; it is arguably the most reliable signifier of Culture status.
Thanks to that genetic manipulation, the average Culture human will be born whole and healthy and of significantly (though not immensely) greater intelligence than their basic human genetic inheritance might imply. There are thousands of alterations to that human-basic inheritance — blister-free callusing and a clot-filter protecting the brain are two of the less important ones mentioned in the stories — but the major changes the standard Culture person would expect to be born with would include an optimized immune system and enhanced senses, freedom from inheritable diseases or defects, the ability to control their autonomic processes and nervous system (pain can, in effect, be switched off), and to survive and fully recover from wounds which would either kill or permanently mutilate without such genetic tinkering.
The vast majority of people are also born with greatly altered glands housed within their central nervous systems, usually referred to as ‘drug glands’. These secrete — on command — mood- and sensory-appreciation-altering compounds into the person’s bloodstream. A similar preponderance of Culture inhabitants have subtly altered reproductive organs — and control over the associated nerves — to enhance sexual pleasure. Ovulation is at will in the female, and a fetus up to a certain stage may be re-absorbed, aborted, or held at a static point in its development; again, as willed. An elaborate thought-code, self-administered in a trance-like state (or simply a consistent desire, even if not conscious) will lead, over the course of about a year, to what amounts to a viral change from one sex into the other. The convention — tradition, even — in the Culture during the time of the stories written so far is that each person should give birth to one child in their lives. In practice, the population grows slowly. (And sporadically, in addition, for other reasons, as we’ll come to later.)
To us, perhaps, the idea of being able to find out what sex is like for our complimentary gender, or being able to get drunk/stoned/tripped-out or whatever just by thinking about it (and of course the Culture’s drug-glands produce no unpleasant side-effects or physiological addiction) may seem like mere wish-fulfilment. And indeed it is partly wish-fulfilment, but then the fulfilment of wishes is both one of civilisation’s most powerful drives and arguably one of its highest functions; we wish to live longer, we wish to live more comfortably, we wish to live with less anxiety and more enjoyment, less ignorance and more knowledge than our ancestors did… but the abilities to change sex and to alter one’s brain-chemistry — without resort to external technology or any form of payment — both have more serious functions within the Culture. A society in which it is so easy to change sex will rapidly find out if it is treating one gender better than the other; within the population, over time, there will gradually be greater and greater numbers of the sex it is more rewarding to be, and so pressure for change — within society rather than the individuals — will presumably therefore build up until some form of sexual equality and hence numerical parity is established. In a similar fashion, a society in which everybody is free to, and does, choose to spend the majority of their time zonked out of their brains will know that there is something significantly wrong with reality, and (one would hope) do what it can to make that reality more appealing and less — in the pejorative sense — mundane.
Implicit in the stories so far is that through self-correcting mechanisms of this nature the Culture reached a rough steady-state in such matters thousands of years ago, and has settled into a kind of long-lived civilisational main sequence which should last for the forseeable future, and thousands of generations.
Which brings us to the length of those generations, and the fact that they can be said to exist at all. Humans in the Culture normally live about three-and-a-half to four centuries. The majority of their lives consists of a three-century plateau which they reach in what we would compare to our mid-twenties, after a relatively normal pace of maturation during childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. They age very slowly during those three hundred years, then begin to age more quickly, then they die.
Philosophy, again; death is regarded as part of life, and nothing, including the universe, lasts forever. It is seen as bad manners to try and pretend that death is somehow not natural; instead death is seen as giving shape to life.
While burial, cremation and other — to us — conventional forms of body disposal are not unknown in the Culture, the most common form of funeral involves the deceased — usually surrounded by friends — being visited by a Displacement Drone, which — using the technique of near-instantaneous transmission of a remotely induced singularity via hyperspace — removes the corpse from its last resting place and deposits it in the core of the relevant system’s sun, from where the component particles of the cadaver start a million-year migration to the star’s surface, to shine — possibly — long after the Culture itself is history.
None of this, of course, is compulsory (nothing in the Culture is compulsory). Some people choose biological immortality; others have their personality transcribed into AIs and die happy feeling they continue to exist elsewhere; others again go into Storage, to be woken in more (or less) interesting times, or only every decade, or century, or aeon, or over exponentially increasing intervals, or only when it looks like something really different is happening…
Culture starships — that is all classes of ship above inter-planetary — are sentient; their Minds (sophisticated AIs working largely in hyperspace to take advantage of the higher lightspeed there) bear the same relation to the fabric of the ship as a human brain does to the human body; the Mind is the important bit, and the rest is a life-support and transport system. Humans and independent drones (the Culture’s non-android individual AIs of roughly human-equivalent intelligence) are unnecessary for the running of the starships, and have a status somewhere between passengers, pets and parasites.
The Culture’s largest vessels — apart from certain art-works and a few Eccentrics — are the General Systems Vehicles of the Contact section. (Contact is the part of the Culture concerned with discovering, cataloguing, investigating, evaluating and — if thought prudent — interacting with other civilisations; its rationale and activities are covered elsewhere, in the stories.) The GSVs are fast and very large craft, measured in kilometres and inhabited by millions of people and machines. The idea behind them is that they represent the Culture, fully. All that the Culture knows, each GSV knows; anything that can be done anywhere in the Culture can be done within or by any GSV. In terms of both information and technology, they represent a last resort, and act like holographic fragments of the Culture itself, the whole contained within each part.
In our terms, the abilities of a GSV are those of — at least — a large state, and arguably a whole planet (subject only to the proviso that even the Culture prefers to scoop up matter rather than create it from nothing; GSVs do require raw material).
Contact is a relatively small part of the whole Culture, however, and the average Culture citizen will rarely encounter a GSV or other Contact ship in person; the craft they will normally have the most to do with are cruise ships; interstellar passenger vessels transporting people from habitat to habitat and visiting the more interesting systems, stars, nebulae, holes and so on in the locality. Again, this type of tourism is partly long-term fashion; people travel because they can, not because they have to; they could stay at home and appear to travel to exotic places through what we would now call Virtual Reality, or send an information-construct of themselves to a ship or other entity that would do the experiencing for them, and incorporate the memories themselves later.
There have been times, especially just after the relevant VR technology was perfected, when the amount of real ‘physical’ tourism shrank drastically, whereas during the time the stories are set (apart from during the most intense phase of the Idiran war), anything up to a tenth of the Culture’s citizens might be travelling in space at any one time.
Planets figure little in the life of the average Culture person; there are a few handfuls of what are regarded as ‘home’ planets, and a few hundred more that were colonised (sometimes after terraforming) in the early days before the Culture proper came into being, but only a fraction of a percent of the Culture’s inhabitants live on them (many more live permanently on ships). More people live in Rocks; hollowed-out asteroids and planetoids (almost all fitted with drives, and some — after nine millennia — having been fitted with dozens of different, consecutively more advanced engines). The majority, however, live in larger artificial habitats, predominantly Orbitals.
Perhaps the easiest way to envisage an Orbital is to compare it to the idea that inspired it (this sounds better than saying; Here’s where I stole it from). If you know what a Ringworld is — invented by Larry Niven; a segment of a Dyson Sphere — then just discard the shadow-squares, shrink the whole thing till it’s about three million kilometres across, and place in orbit around a suitable star, tilted just off the ecliptic; spin it to produce one gravity and that gives you an automatic 24-hour day-night cycle (roughly; the Culture’s day is actually a bit longer). An elliptical orbit provides seasons.
Of course, the materials used in the construction of something ten million kilometres in circumference spinning once every 24 hours are far beyond anything we can realistically imagine now, and it is quite possible that the physical constraints imposed by the strength of atomic bonds ensure that such structures will prove impossible to construct, but if it is possible to build on a such a scale and subject such structures to forces of these magnitudes, then I’d submit that there is an elegance in using the same rotation to produce both an acceptable day-night cycle and an apparent gravity which makes the idea intrinsically attractive.
Usually, rather than construct whole Orbitals in one operation, the Culture starts with Plates; a pair of slabs of land and water (plus full retaining walls, of course) of not less than a thousand kilometres to a side, spinning in a similar orbit, attached by tensor fields to each other, and behaving like sections of a completed Orbital; this variation provides greater flexibility when responding to population increase. Further plate-pairs can then be added until the Orbital is complete.
The attraction of Orbitals is their matter efficiency. For one planet the size of Earth (population 6 billion at the moment; mass 6x1024 kg), it would be possible, using the same amount of matter, to build 1,500 full orbitals, each one boasting a surface area twenty times that of Earth and eventually holding a maximum population of perhaps 50 billion people (the Culture would regard Earth at present as over-crowded by a factor of about two, though it would consider the land-to-water ratio about right). Not, of course, that the Culture would do anything as delinquent as actually deconstructing a planet to make Orbitals; simply removing the sort of wandering debris (for example comets and asteroids) which the average solar system comes equipped with and which would threaten such an artificial world’s integrity through collision almost always in itself provides sufficient material for the construction of at least one full Orbital (a trade-off whose conservatory elegance is almost blissfully appealing to the average Mind), while interstellar matter in the form of dust clouds, brown dwarfs and the like provides more distant mining sites from which the amount of mass required for several complete Orbitals may be removed with negligible effect.
Whatever the source material, Orbitals are obviously far more mass-efficient in providing living space than planets. The Culture, as is made clear in Use of Weapons, regards terraforming generally as ecologically unsound; the wilderness should be left as it is, when it is so easy to build paradise in space from so little.
An idea of how the day-night cycle appears on the surface of an Orbital can be gained by taking an ordinary belt, buckling it so that it forms a circle, and putting your eye to the outside of one of the belt’s holes; looking through the hole at a light bulb and slowly rotating the whole belt will give some idea of how a star appears to move across the sky when seen from an Orbital, though it will also leave you looking rather silly.
As indicated, the usual minimum for the width of an Orbital is about a thousand kilometres (two thousand if you count the sloped, mostly transparent retaining walls, which usually extend to five hundred kilometres or so above the plate land-sea surface). The normal ratio of land to sea is 1:3, so that on each Plate — assuming they are being constructed in the balanced pairs described above — a (very) roughly square island rests in the middle of a sea, with approximately two hundred and fifty kilometres from the shore of the land mass to the retaining walls. Orbitals, though, like everything else in the Culture, vary enormously.
One thing almost every Orbital — whether just two Plates or a completed (“closed”) Orbital — does have, is a Hub. As its name implies, the Hub sits in the centre of the Orbital, equidistant from all parts of the main circumferential structure (but not physically joined to it, normally). The Hub is where the Orbital’s controlling AI (often a Mind) usually exists, running, or helping to run, the Orbital’s transport, manufacturing, maintenance and subsidiary systems, acting as switchboard for trans-Orbital communications, library and general information point, traffic control for approaching, departing and close-passing ships, and generally working as the Orbital’s principle link with the rest of the Culture. During the construction phase of a Plate-pair, the Hub will normally control the process.
The design of a Plate sometimes incorporates the deep — or strategic — structure of the surface geography, so that the Plate medium itself contains the corrugations that will become mountains, valleys and lakes; more commonly, the Plate surface is left flat and the strategic structures on the inner surface — also constructed from Plate base material — are added later. Under either method, the Plate’s manufacturing and maintenance systems are located within the indentations or hollows of the strategic structure, leaving the land surface free to assume a rural appearance, once the tactical geomorphology has been designed and positioned, the Plate’s complement of water and air has been emplaced, the necessary weathering has occurred, and the relevant flora and fauna have been introduced.
The surface of the Plate base is pierced by multitudinous shafts allowing access to the factory and maintenance volumes, and to the sub-surface transport systems. (Almost invariably, these include restricted single-aperture concentrically rotating airlocks paired in sequence.)
Existing on the outer surface of the base material, an Orbital’s rapid-transport systems operate in vacuum, with the resulting advantages the lack of air-resistance confers; the relatively uncluttered nature of the Orbital’s outer surface (whether flat, allowing the systems to operate next to that surface, or corrugated, requiring sling-bridges under unoccupied mountain indentations), means that the systems can be both high-capacity and extremely flexible. Journey starting-points and destinations can be highly specific for the same reason; an isolated house or a small village will have its own access shaft, and in larger conurbations a shaft will usually be within a few minutes walk.
Surface transport on Orbitals tends to be used when the pleasure of making the journey is itself part of the reason for travelling; air travel is common enough (if still far slower than sub-surface travel), though individual Plates often have their own guide-lines concerning the amount of air travel thought appropriate. Such guide-lines are part of one’s manners, and not formalised in anything as crude as laws.
The Culture doesn’t actually have laws; there are, of course, agreed-on forms of behaviour; manners, as mentioned above, but nothing that we would recognise as a legal framework. Not being spoken to, not being invited to parties, finding sarcastic anonymous articles and stories about yourself in the information network; these are the normal forms of manner-enforcement in the Culture. The very worst crime (to use our terminology), of course, is murder (defined as irretrievable brain-death, or total personality loss in the case of an AI). The result — punishment, if you will — is the offer of treatment, and what is known as a slap-drone. All a slap-drone does is follow the murderer around for the rest of their life to make sure they never murder again. There are less severe variations on this theme to deal with people who are simply violent.
In a society where material scarcity is unknown and the only real value is sentimental value, there is little motive or opportunity for the sort of action we would class as a crime against property.
Megalomaniacs are not unknown in the Culture, but they tend to be diverted successfully into highly complicated games; there are entire Orbitals where some of these philosophically crude Obsessive games are played, though most are in Virtual Reality. Something of a status-symbol for the determined megalomaniac is having one’s own starship; this is considered wasteful by most people, and is also futile, if the purpose of having it is to escape the Culture completely and — say — set up oneself up as God or Emperor on some backward planet; the person might be free to pilot their (obviously non-AI controlled) ship, and even approach a planet, but the Contact section is equally free to follow that person wherever they go and do whatever it thinks appropriate to stop him or her from doing anything injurious or unpleasant to whatever civilisations they come into — or attempt to come into — contact with. This tends to be frustrating, and Virtual Reality games — up to and including utter-involvement level, in which the player has to make a real and sustained effort to return to the real world, and can even forget that it exists entirely — are far more satisfying.
Some people, however, refuse this escape-route too, and leave the Culture altogether for a civilisation that suits them better and where they can operate in a system which gives them the kind of rewards they seek. To renounce the Culture so is to lose access to its technology though, and, again, Contact supervises the entry of such people into their chosen civilisation at a level which guarantees they aren’t starting with too great an advantage compared to the original inhabitants (and retains the option of interfering, if it sees fit).
A few such apparently anti-social people are even used by Contact itself, especially by the Special Circumstances section.
The way the Culture creates AIs means that a small number of them suffer from similar personality problems; such machines are given the choice of cooperative re-design, a more limited role in the Culture than they might have had otherwise, or a similarly constrained exile.
Politics in the Culture consists of referenda on issues whenever they are raised; generally, anyone may propose a ballot on any issue at any time; all citizens have one vote. Where issues concern some sub-division or part of a total habitat, all those — human and machine — who may reasonably claim to be affected by the outcome of a poll may cast a vote. Opinions are expressed and positions on issues outlined mostly via the information network (freely available, naturally), and it is here that an individual may exercise the most personal influence, given that the decisions reached as a result of those votes are usually implemented and monitored through a Hub or other supervisory machine, with humans acting (usually on a rota basis) more as liaison officers than in any sort of decision-making executive capacity; one of the few rules the Culture adheres to with any exactitude at all is that a person’s access to power should be in inverse proportion to their desire for it. The sad fact for the aspiring politico in the Culture is that the levers of power are extremely widely distributed, and very short (see entry on megalomaniacs, above). The intellectual-structural cohesion of a starship of course limits the sort of viable votes possible on such vessels, though as a rule even the most arrogant craft at least pretend to listen when their guests suggest — say — making a detour to watch a supernova, or increasing the area of parkland on-board.
Day-to-day life in the Culture varies considerably from place to place, but there is a general stability about it we might find either extremely peaceful or ultimately rather disappointing, depending on our individual temperament. We, after all, are used to living in times of great change; we expect major technological developments and have learned to adapt — indeed expect to have to adapt on a more or less continual basis, changing (in the developed world) our cars, our entertainment systems and a whole variety of household objects every few years. In contrast, the Culture builds to last; it is not uncommon for an aircraft, for example, to be handed down through several generations. Important technological advances still take place, but they don’t tend to affect day-to-day life the way that the invention of the internal combustion engine, heavier-than-air flying machines and electronics have affected the lives of those who have lived during the past century on Earth. Even the relative homogeneity of the people one would meet when living on the average Orbital — with relatively few children and physically old people — would tend, for us, to reinforce the feeling of sameness, though the scattering of genetically altered, morphologically extreme people around would help compensate for this.
In terms of personal relations and family groupings, the Culture is, predictably, full of every possible permutation and possibility, but the most common life-style consists of groups of people of mixed generations linked by loose family ties living in a semi-communal dwelling or group of dwellings; to be a child in the Culture is to have a mother, perhaps a father, probably not a brother or sister, but large numbers of aunts and uncles, and various cousins. Usually, a mother will avoid changing sex during the first few years of a child’s life. (Though, of course, if you want to confuse your child…) In the rare event of a parent maltreating a child (a definition which includes depriving the child of the opportunity for education) it is considered acceptable for people close to them — usually with the help of the relevant Mind, ship or Hub AI, and subject to the sort of small-scale democratic process outlined above — to supervise the child’s subsequent development.
In general the Culture doesn’t actively encourage immigration; it looks too much like a disguised form of colonialism. Contact’s preferred methods are intended to help other civilisations develop their own potential as a whole, and are designed to neither leech away their best and brightest, nor turn such civilisations into miniature versions of the Culture. Individuals, groups and even whole lesser civilisations do become part of the Culture on occasion, however, if there seems to be a particularly good reason (and if Contact reckons it won’t upset any other interested parties in the locality).
Just who and what is and isn’t Culture is something of a difficult question to answer though; as has been said in one of the books, the Culture kind of fades out at the edges. There are still fragments — millions of ships, hundreds of Orbitals, whole systems — of the Peace faction of the Culture, which split from the main section just before the start of the Idiran War, when ships and habitats voted independently on the need to go to war at all; the minority simply declared itself neutral in the hostilities and the re-integration of the Peace faction after the cessation of hostilities was never totally completed, many people in it preferring to stay outside the majority Culture as long as it did not renounce the future use of force.
The genofixing which established the potential for inter-species breeding at the foundation of the Culture is the most obvious indicator of what we might call Culture-hood in humans, but not everybody has it; some people prefer to be more human-basic for aesthetic or philosophical reasons, while some are so altered from that human-basic state that any interbreeding is impossible. The status of some of the Rocks and a few (mostly very old) habitats is marginal for a variety of reasons.
Contact is the most coherent and consistent part of the Culture — certainly when considered on a galactic scale — yet it is only a very small part of it, is almost a civilisation within a civilisation, and no more typifies its host than an armed service does a peaceful state. Even the Cultures’s prized language, Marain, is not spoken by every Culture person, and is used well outside the limits of the civilisation itself.
Names; Culture names act as an address if the person concerned stays where they were brought up. Let’s take an example; Balveda, from Consider Phlebas. Her full name is Juboal-Rabaroansa Perosteck Alseyn Balveda dam T’seif. The first part tells you she was born/brought up on Rabaroan Plate, in the Juboal stellar system (where there is only one Orbital in a system, the first part of a name will often be the name of the Orbital rather than the star); Perosteck is her given name (almost invariably the choice of one’s mother), Alseyn is her chosen name (people usually choose their names in their teens, and sometimes have a succession through their lives; an alseyn is a graceful but fierce avian raptor common to many Orbitals in the region which includes the Juboal system); Balveda is her family name (usually one’s mother’s family name) and T’seif is the house/estate she was raised within. The ’sa’ affix on the first part of her name would translate into ‘er’ in English (we might all start our names with ’sun-Earther’, in English, if we were to adopt the same nomenclature), and the ‘dam’ part is similar to the German ‘von’. Of course, not everyone follows this naming-system, but most do, and the Culture tries to ensure that star and Orbital names are unique, to avoid confusion.
Now, in all the above, there are two untold stories implicit. One is the history of the Culture’s formation, which was a lot less easy and more troubled than its later demeanour might lead one to expect, and the other is the story which answers the question; why were there all those so-similar humanoid species scattered around the galaxy in the first place?
Each story is too complicated to relate here.
Lastly, something of the totally fake cosmology that underpins the shakily credible stardrives mentioned in the Culture stories. Even if you can accept all the above, featuring a humanoid species that seems to exhibit no real greed, paranoia, stupidity, fanaticism or bigotry, wait till you read this…
We accept that the three dimensions of space we live in are curved, that space-time describes a hypersphere, just as the two dimensions of length and width on the surface of a totally smooth planet curve in a third dimension to produce a three-dimensional sphere. In the Culture stories, the idea is that — when you imagine the hypersphere which is our expanding universe — rather than thinking of a growing hollow sphere (like a inflating beach-ball, for example), think of an onion.
An expanding onion, certainly, but an onion, nevertheless. Within our universe, our hypersphere, there are whole layers of younger, smaller hyperspheres. And we are not the very outer-most skin of that expanding onion, either; there are older, larger universes beyond ours, too. Between each universe there is something called the Energy Grid (I said this was all fake); I have no idea what this is, but it’s what the Culture starships run on. And of course, if you could get through the Energy Grid, to a younger universe, and then repeat the process… now we really are talking about immortality. (This is why there are two types of hyperspace mentioned in the stories; infraspace within our hypersphere, and ultraspace without.)
Now comes the difficult bit; switch to seven dimensions and even our four dimensional universe can be described as a circle. So forget about the onion; think of a doughnut. A doughnut with only a very tiny hole in the middle. That hole is the Cosmic Centre, the singularity, the great initiating fireball, the place the universes come from; and it didn’t exist just in the instant our universe came into being; it exists all the time, and it’s exploding all the time, like some Cosmic car engine, producing universes like exhaust smoke.
As each universe comes into being, detonating and spreading and expanding, it — or rather the single circle we are using to describe it — goes gradually up the inner slope of our doughnut, like a widening ripple from a stone flung in a pond. It goes over the top of the doughnut, reaches its furthest extent on the outside edge of the doughnut, and then starts the long, contracting, collapsing journey back in towards the Cosmic Centre again, to be reborn…
Or at least it does if it’s on that doughnut; the doughnut is itself hollow, filled with smaller ones where the universes don’t live so long. And there are larger ones outside it, where the universes live longer, and maybe there are universes that aren’t on doughnuts at all, and never fall back in, and just dissipate out into… some form of meta-space? Where fragments of them are captured eventually by the attraction of another doughnut, and fall in towards its Cosmic Centre with the debris of lots of other dissipated universes, to be reborn as something quite different again? Who knows. (I know it’s all nonsense, but you’ve got to admit it’s impressive nonsense. And like I said at the start, none of it exists anyway, does it?)
Anyway, that’s more than enough of me pontificating.
With best wishes for the future,

Fixtorati
Technorati has been redesigned, or realigned if you prefer. It’s gone a bit gradient happy but overall, it’s quite a pleasing visual aesthetic.
For some reason though, they’ve chosen to lock the pages into a fixed width of 1024 pixels.
Now, I understand the reasoning behind fixed-width layouts. I can see the justification for wide fixed-width layouts on content-heavy sites like A List Apart (even if I disagree with it). But forcing users of what is fundamentally a web app to set their browser to a certain width seems counterproductive to me.
The content on Technorati is user-generated. Usually, that user is me. It has my favourites, my watchlist, and my search terms. I should be able to interact with that content in my way.
This is something that, as with so many things, del.icio.us gets just right. Upcoming is on the right track too. These sites allow me to interact with my data without putting me in a straitjacket.
Flickr is still avowedly fixed but the image-based, rather than text-based, nature of the data I store there makes this somewhat understandable.
Now, don’t misconstrue this as a tirade against 1024 pixel wide layouts. The problem would still exist in an 800 pixel wide design. Choosing an arbitrary number of pixels in which to serve up user-generated content is the issue here. On the one hand, Technorati is a very Web 2.0 sort of site, based on user-generated distributed content and collective wisdom. On the other hand, its visual design is grounded in a very Web 1.0 idea of top-down control and inflexibility.
I like Technorati a lot. It’s come on in leaps and bounds in the past couple of years. I’d like to use it every day. I’m even willing to put up with the oversize ads. But I resent the feeling that I should adjust my browsing environment to the needs of the site, rather than the other way around.

“Rural America’s Stagnant Economic Performance: What’s the Role of Declining Dynamism?”
Home // About // Publications // “Rural America’s Stagnant Economic Performance: What’s the Role of Declining Dynamism?”
Rural America’s economic performance has generally lagged urban America’s performance for decades. This relative decline accelerated after 2000, and the economic expansion since the Great Recession largely missed much of rural America.
The US has experienced declining rates of dynamism since the 1970s, but this phenomenon is stronger in rural areas. For example, declining rates of new-firm startups hit rural America even harder. Rural-to-urban migration, the traditional route to prosperity for generations of rural residents, has also declined, leaving many rural American “trapped” in stagnating communities.
The lack of mobility in rural America suggests a role for place-based policies aimed at specific rural communities and regions, with the caveat that not every rural community can be “saved” from decline.

What kinds of information do we collect and how do we use it?
Who will your Personal Data be shared with?
International Transfers of your Personal Data
Protecting your Personal Data
This website is made available using the Veridian platform. Veridian is developed by DL Consulting (DLC) of Innovation Park, 1 Melody Lane, Hamilton, New Zealand. It is used by many organizations to make their digital collections (e.g. collections of digitized newspapers, photographs, and other materials) available online.
This Privacy Policy describes the types of Personal Data that may be collected or processed when you use this website, why we collect that data, how it may be used, and what your rights are with regard to that data.
In terms of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) DLC is primarily a Data Processor, while the owner of the digital collection (American Foundation for the Blind) is the Data Controller. Both parties effectively have an obligation to and a commitment to protect the privacy of those using this website.
Usage Log Data
We receive information when you view content on this website, which we refer to as “Usage Log Data”, even if you have not created an account. This Usage Log Data includes information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, pages visited, and search terms.
We use Usage Log Data to aid in providing secure, reliable, and robust performance (e.g. by identifying and blocking unusual activity that may otherwise affect performance for other users).
Usage Log Data is also used in some cases to provide aggregated statistics including how many users are accessing the website, which pages are most popular, approximately where users access the website from, etc.
Basic Account Information
You don’t have to create an account to use many of the features of this Veridian-based website. Some optional features do require you to create an account however, and if you choose to do so you must provide us with some Personal Data that is necessary in order to make those features work.
The Personal Data that may be required when you create a Veridian account is as follows:
Email address: We require your email address in order to verify your account when you initially register, allow you to securely reset your password if you forget it in future, and for other similar functions. Your email address is not made publicly available on the website, but is accessible to administrators of the site (e.g. the owners of the collection).
First and Last Name: These fields are optional, and you do not need to provide your name when you create an account if you choose not to do so. If you do provide it your name is not made publicly available on the website, but is accessible to administrators of the site (e.g. the owners of the collection).
Display Name: The display name you provide is public, and will be associated with any contributions you make on the website. For example, if you make OCR text corrections they will be associated publicly on the website with your display name. You can use a pseudonym for your display name if you don’t wish for it to identify you personally, and you can change your display name at any time using the form on the My account page.
Information that may be collected if you create an account
As noted in the section above you don’t have to create an account to use many of Veridian’s features. If you do create an account though there are some additional settings and some additional information that may be collected and associated with your account, as follows:
Allow communications: If you choose to opt in to the “allow communications” setting, either when you initially register or from the My account page after registering, we may send information to your registered email address from time to time. You can opt out or opt in to receiving these communications at any time, from Veridian’s My account page. If you do not opt in we won’t send anything to your registered email address, aside from the automated emails required by the registration, password reset and “Change e-mail address” features, and very occasional notifications, when we feel those notifications are important and relevant.
Contributions (e.g. tags, OCR text corrections): Any contributions you make are “public” (i.e. all other users of the website can see them), and they are associated with your user account.
Private lists: This feature of the Veridian platform allows you to optionally create lists of pages/content for later review. These lists are “private” (i.e. other normal users of the website can’t see your private lists), but the data is stored on our servers, and may be accessible to administrators of the website.
Search/view history: If you choose to opt in to the “Store history of searches and viewed items” setting, either from the “Search history” popup or from the “Recent activity” tab of the My account page, Veridian will store your most recent searches and viewed items. You can opt out or opt in to this at any time. If you opt out, any existing history entries will be removed. The history information is “private” (i.e. other normal users of the website can’t see your history), but the data is stored on our servers, and may be accessible to administrators of the website.
This website uses Google Analytics to collect and analyse aggregated usage statistics. These statistics do not identify specific individuals. Usage statistics are important as they allow us to gain insight into which content and features are most useful and interesting to users. Those insights help guide decisions on future efforts to add more content to the digital collection, and new features to Veridian.
To comply with Google’s terms and conditions we ensure that no “personally identifiable information” is sent to Google Analytics by Veridian.

Maxine Andrews
Serving in Retired
I received Jesus as my Savior at the age of 6. In a youth service in my home church in North Tazewell, VA, I answered the call of the Holy Spirit to be a missionary. My widowed Mother sacrificed to send me to Southeastern Bible Institute (Southeastern University), where my call to be a missionary became the focus of my life. I met Jim Andrews there and we were married in 1956. Together we prepared for mission work and in 1961, we received missionary appointment to Taiwan and we arrived in Taiwan on July 22, 1962. We ministered together until the Lord received Jim unto Himself in August 2016. I have continued living in Taiwan, where I preach in various churches, conduct Bible studies, minister in music, do counseling and helpwith the media ministry to reach the Chinese-speaking people.
My family also lives in Taiwan. I have two sons, James II and Jonathan, and two grandsons, James William and Joshua Mark. My Taiwanese daughter-in-law teaches Chinese in a school for missionaries' children. Our family is committed to helping those who do not know the love of Jesus to come into relationship with Him.

MoodLink: A Data-Driven Social Interactive Mobile Application for Depression Relief using Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing
Yilan Zhao1 and Yu Sun2, 1USA, 2California State Polytechnic University, USA
As adolescent suicide rates grew significantly in the past decade, depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders were largely held responsible for the growth [9]. However, these medical conditions are often overlooked during their early stages where symptoms are still remediable. Delayed or inattentive response to address the issue usually results in higher suicides rates or in lesser cases, mental ailments carried into adulthood. In an attempt to remedy the mental health crisis, countless mental health interventions are being introduced as means to mitigate the circumstances. In this project, we developed a mobile application that serves as a comprehensive therapy—journal and group therapy—for those struggling with mild to moderate depressive symptoms [10].

This is the “missing” post for Sunday, March 5th (which includes some quotes used on March 12th). There was no Saturday class last week; however, I secretly snuck in a bit of what would have been Saturday’s theme. You can request an audio recording of this practice via a comment below or (for a slightly faster reply) you can email me at myra (at) ajoyfulpractice.com.

“People who are good at understanding others are usually good listeners. We can fall into the trap of so earnestly wanting to get our point across, we forget to listen to the person we are speaking to. During your conversations today, instead of letting words go in one ear and out the other, take time to hear what the other person is saying.”
– quoted from the “Action for Teens” section of “ Day 35 ~ March 5th ~ Understanding” of the “Season for Non-violence,” provided by the Mahatma Gandhi Canadian Foundation for World Peace
How well do you understand yourself? For that matter, how well do you understand the people around you – especially those you love? Additionally, how much time and effort do you put into understanding yourself and/or the people around you (every time you inhale, every time you exhale)?
As I mentioned in the “ First Friday Night Special” post, I didn’t immediately click (literally or figuratively) on the fact that each of the themes provided by the Mahatma Gandhi Canadian Foundation for World Peace during the “Season for Non-violence” is connected to a resource page full of quotes, reflections, meditations, and thought-exercises. Although the themes are inspired by the lives and work of Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. (whose assassination dates mark the beginning and end of the “Season for Non-violence”), the resource pages reference many others and can be used by individuals and/or groups.
I love that the resources help people better understand how each nonviolent principle can be “…a powerful way to heal, transform, and empower our lives and communities.” Last week, after I had to cancel Saturday’s Zoom practice, I also really appreciated how closely the March 4th theme (“love”) aligned with the March 5th theme (“understanding”) – especially when considered in the context of the lives and work of Mahatma Gandhi and Reverend King. They also can be closely aligned when viewed through a Yoga lens, which reinforces the fact that the process of gaining understanding about oneself is already a big part of the Yoga Philosophy.
Gaining understanding about oneself is, quite obviously, the point of svādhyāya (“self-study”), which is the fourth niyamā (internal “observation”) and the second key element of kriyā yoga (“union in action”), as defined by Patanjali in Yoga Sūtra 2.1. The very first siddhi (“power”) described as “unique to being human” is uha, which is “knowledge without doubt, clear understanding, intuitive knowledge.” That ability is inextricably connected to several of the other five – including adhyayana (“study, analyze, and comprehend”). Furthermore, in the third section of the Yoga Sūtras, Patanjali described what sometimes sounds like “Jedi Knight tricks” – including the ability to understand all sounds uttered by any creature (i.e., all languages) (YS 3.17). Finally, towards the end of the sūtras, the culmination of all the powers is described as “the cloud of virtue” or the “cloud of clarity.”
Yet, throughout the sūtras, there are reminders that the achievements and abilities found in the practice can be obstacles to the ultimate objective of the practice. They become obstacles when we forget that they are part of the practice, steps along the way; and not the ultimate goals in-and-of-themselves. Some of the commentary surrounding the siddhis (“powers”) also reinforces the fact that every part of the practice is connected to self awareness. In other words, that part of the practice is training ourselves to be more aware of ourselves and more conscious of what informs our thoughts, words, and deeds.
“The point here is not to manipulate other people through some sort of mind control. The value is in seeing the way that your own mind is affected by the presented thoughts from others, along with the insights about the other mind from which they are being projected. From that we can deal with our own mental conditioning in response to that which might otherwise control our own actions, speech, and thoughts.”
– quoted from the commentary on Yoga Sūtra 3.19 by Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati (as posted on SwamiJ.com)
When we cultivate the skills needed to understand why we act, react, and respond the way we do; we are also opening up to the possibility of understanding why others act, react, and respond the way they do. I say that we open up to that possibility, because (as one of my sister-in-laws has reminded me on more than one occasion) “there are some things that may not be for us to understand.” So, the question becomes: Are you willing to make the effort?
Just making the effort to open up can give us insight into ourselves and can also change the way we interact with people whose behavior seems unfathomable to us. Being open to considering where someone is coming from – and how it is similar or different from where we are coming from – means that we show up with a little more empathy, maybe even a little more compassion. It may mean that we can have a conversation with someone, rather than an argument. It does not mean that we condone bad behavior, nor does it mean that we change someone’s opinion – because, again, it is not about manipulation. However, it can mean that there is just a little less (violent) conflict in a world that is already overflowing with conflict. That moment with less (violent) conflict means there is a little more peace in the world…. It can also mean there is a little more love – especially if we use our power of “understanding” as a tool of nonviolence and a tool of love.
“Love is creative, understanding goodwill for all men. It is the refusal to defeat any individual. When you rise to the level of love, of its great beauty and power, you seek only to defeat evil systems. Individuals who happen to be caught up in that system, you love, but you seek to defeat the system.”
– quoted from “Loving Your Enemies” sermon at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church by Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. (11/17/1957)
As a simple thought-exercise, take a moment to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Imagine their heart and their scars; imagine their loves and their losses, their triumphs and their pains. When we do this thought-exercise, we may fall into the trap of thinking, “Well, I would never do what they did.” But, that’s a trap for two reasons. First, we don’t always know how we would react or respond to a situation until we are actually in it. Second, when we initial do this though-exercise we may only do it from our own perspective – which is a great first step in practicing svādhyāya. Then, however, we have to strip away our “whys” and consider that what we would do (or not do) is based on our past experiences – our saṃskāras (mental “impressions”) and our vāsanās (the “dwelling places” of our habits).
Our past experiences have informed our hearts and hard-wired our brains to react and respond in a certain way. That other person, has different experiences, different mental impressions, different habits, different heart information, and different neural pathways (mentally speaking). We can grow up with someone, live in the same home, go to the same schools, share similar likes and dislikes – and still see/understand a shared experience in different ways; which means we have different takeaways. So, to really do the work, we have to be willing to let go of what we know and step into the unknown. We have to acknowledge the things that make us who we are and, therefore, make us see and comprehend (or not) the way we do. Then we have to be willing to not just consider what our view would be if we were sitting on the other side of the divide, but also what our view would be if we were actually the other person sitting on the side of the divide.
Again, this is a basic thought-exercise. It is relatively simple and easy to do when we are considering the viewpoint of a stranger. How willing are you, however, to engage in the same philosophical query when it comes to someone who has hurt you? Maybe the injury was physical; maybe it was a mental and emotional insult. Maybe it was all of the above. The hurt could come from disappointment – and, maybe it was unintentional on their part; just negligent. Or, the hurt could come from a very deliberate and malicious intentional action. Then there’s everything in between. Additionally, it’s possible that the hurt we feel makes it harder to put ourselves in their shoes. Then things get a little more complicated (and interesting) when we consider that the people we love the most (and that we believe are supposed to love us the most) are the ones that can hurt us the most.
Then, we have to go a little deeper into our understanding of love.
“The Greek language comes out with another word for love. It is the word agape, and agape is more than eros. Agape is more than philia. Agape is something of the understanding, creative, redemptive goodwill for all men. It is a love that seeks nothing in return. It is an overflowing love; it’s what theologians would call the love of God working in the lives of men. And when you rise to love on this level, you begin to love men, not because they are likeable, but because God loves them. You look at every man, and you love him because you know God loves him. And he might be the worst person you’ve ever seen.”
Love is energy. Some people even see it as a currency. We can also look at love as tool (or a map) that leads to understanding – just as we can look at understanding as a tool we can use to express (or invest) love. Viewing “love” and “understanding” as synonyms, and/or as tools and the work of those tools, gives us the ability to turn every potential conflict into a moment of nonviolence. One of the first steps in this endeavor is remember that our human tendency to segment and label love-energy can diminish our experience of it, while simultaneously increasing our experience of suffering. This labeling can also cause us to forget (or not realize) that everyone wants and deserves to be loved. Remembering the very human desire to love and be loved – to belong – can help us understand that sometimes people make bad decisions in an effort to make a connection.
For example, depending on our individual experiences, we may not understand why someone joins a gang or a group that seems to continuously spew hatred. If, however, we consider that desire to love and be loved – and the accompanying desires to belong and be accepted – we may find that an individual who is not being accepted by one part of their community will seek that acceptance elsewhere. They may find it in a group that essentially says, “Hey, we will accept you… as long as you believe what we believe (or say you do) and do the things we want you to do.” And while those conditions may seem abhorrent and unacceptable to some, consider this: Unconditional love is very rare in modern society; we just don’t always know the conditions. Gangs, cults, and hate groups have very specific (known) conditions. They’re just not always viewed as conditions. Neither are they initially recognized as the causes and conditions of suffering.
“Everyone you ever knew who told you that they would keep you safe as long as you behaved were already hurting you.”
– Brennan Lee Mulligan (as the Beast) in College Humor’s “Dimension 20: Neverafter” campaign
People’s bad decisions, just like their good decisions, are based on previous experiences. We can look at this on a very personal, individual level and also on a community level. Either consideration gives us an opportunity to step back and gain some insight (i.e., understanding) about our sore spots.
We all have sore spots. When someone pokes them – or when we think someone is going to poke them – it is natural to go on the defensive. We may experience anger, fear, sadness, or all of the above. In certain situations we may feel the need/desire to fight, flee, or freeze/collapse. What we seldom feel when someone is poking our sore spot(s) is tolerance. Even if we start off being patient and searching for understanding, enough pokes will make most of us want to poke back. Then we are off to the races… the “let’s see who can hurt whom the most” races.
“Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.”
– attributed to Mahatma Gandhi
Despite what we may think in the moment, there is almost never a winner in situations where everyone is pushing everyone else’s buttons. Everybody loses… and walks away with more sore spots. We also walk away with more reasons to react to situations without thinking through why we are reacting the way we are and the ramifications of our thoughts, words, and deeds. If, however, we take a step back and turn inward, we engage the opportunity to overcome our sore spots and our egos. We take advantage of the opportunity to engage loving-kindness and understanding.
There are several practices that help us turn inward during challenging times. I often recommend the “4 R’s” (Recognize, Refrain, Relax, Resolve) as taught by Ani Pema Chödrön – and often throw in an extra R or two: specifically, to Remember why you are doing what you are doing. Other, similar, practices all provide the opportunity to gain more understanding of oneself and can also help us to better understand the people and the situations around us. These practices can also help us understand how our actions can contribute to peace in the world. This is the understanding Mahatma Gandhi had when he first experienced racism in South Africa – and that understanding led to his life’s work.
“He was not just a separate, physical creature; he saw that he – and, crucially, every other human being – was essentially spiritual, with ‘strength [that] does not come from physical capacity [but] from an indomitable will.’
After this first instinctive ‘holding on to Truth,’ Gandhi turned inward. He had met injustice; it degraded everyone, but everyone accepted it: How could he change himself to help everyone involved see more clearly? Somehow, dimly at first, but with increasing sureness, he had already grasped that a person can be an ‘instrument of peace,’ a catalyst of understanding, by getting himself out of the way.”
– quoted from “The Transformation” section of “Preface to the Vintage Spiritual Classics Edition” as published in The Essential Gandhi: An Anthology of his Writings on his Life, Work, and Ideas, edited by Louis Fischer, preface by Eknath Easwaran
“This, then, is the second crucially important principle that we discover in Gandhi. Contrary to what has been thought in recent centuries in the West, the spiritual or interior life is not an exclusively private affair. (In reality, the deepest and most authentic Western traditions are at one with those of the East on this point.) The spiritual life of one person is simply the life of all manifesting itself in him. While it is very necessary to emphasize the truth that as the person deepens his own thought in silence he enters into a deeper understanding of and communion with the spirit of his people (or of his Church), it is also important to remember that as he becomes engaged in the crucial struggles of his people in seeking justice and truth in himself by seeking justice and truth together with his brother, he tends to liberate the truth in himself by seeking true liberty for all.”
– quoted from “II. Introduction: Gandhi and the One-Eyed Giant” by Thomas Merton as published in Gandhi on Non-Violence: Selected Texts from Mohandas K. Gandhi’s Non-Violence in Peace and War, Edited by Thomas Merton, Preface by Mark Kurlansky
We are all connected in multiple ways. To paraphrase e e cummings, we carry each other inside of ourselves. Ironically, sometimes we need to take a step back in order to truly recognize and honor our connections. The example I often use in the practice is to recognize that even if we don’t take a physical bind (on the outside) our arms and hands are still connected. They are connected through our hearts and through our minds. Similarly, if we have a pain on one side of our body, we may be so focused on the presenting pain that we fail to notice how the hurting part is connected to the other parts. When we understand the connections, however, we may be able to reduce (or even eliminate) future harm and suffering.
“When you understand, you cannot help but love. You cannot get angry. To develop understanding, you have to practice looking at all living beings with the eyes of compassion. When you understand, you love. And when you love, you naturally act in a way that can relieve the suffering of people.”
– quoted from “2. The Three Gems” in Being Peace by Thich Nhat Hanh, forward by Jane Goodall, illustrated by Mayumi Oda
The physical example above can also be applied to interpersonal situations. When we understand how we work (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically) we can be more present and more intentional/mindful. This is true on an individual level and also on a community level. Ultimately, it also brings us back to one of the original questions: How much time and effort do you put into understanding yourself and/or the people around you?
Would you be willing to put in the same amount of time that professional trapeze artists put into their art?
There is beauty, athleticism, and risk involved every time people fly through the air. There also must be some level of understanding about how everyone and everything works. Finally, there must be trust/faith. There must be trust/faith between the artists and also between the artists and all of the technicians and support crew. Then, too, there is trust between everyone and the audience – because we are all connected. We may not always be consciously aware of the connections and we may not always (consciously) understand how those connections work. However, the beauty is magnified when we respect and honor those connections. Our esteem rises when we understand all that it takes to put on the show.
Life is very much the same.

Corrections: During the practice, I accidently attributed the Eknath Easwaran quote to Thomas Merton. I also used a quote often attributed to Albert Einstein (“Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.”); however, I could not confirm an original source.

Review of The Lightness by Emily Temple
Kate Brandt
What makes a work of fiction “Buddhist?” For me, as a reader and long-time student of Buddhism, the answer would be that it engages with Buddhist concepts—the Four Noble Truths, the concept of No-Self, to name a few. The Lightness certainly engages with Buddhism. And it performs a difficult feat: showing the impetus that leads to spiritual aspiration while staying rooted in the world of human attachments and concerns.
The Lightness is Olivia’s story, told in first person, of the summer she spent at a place called The Levitation Center, a “Buddhist Boot Camp for Bad Girls.” “Boot camp,” of course, is tongue-in-cheek—the “campers” take part in activities like meditation, ikebana, Zen archery, yoga, and of course, work assignments like kitchen duty or weeding in the garden. In between, they do the things that teenaged girls do—talk about each other; sneak out at night and engage in clandestine rituals; yearn.
There are two especially magnetic characters at the Levitation Center. Luke, the gardener, is introduced to us first through the eyes of Olivia’s first friends at camp:
“He’s kind of a legend…a prodigy…our own personal holy man…he does something to the plants…no one knows what it is.”
All the girls imagine themselves in his arms; he himself has perfected the art of elusiveness. And then there is Serena, a fellow camper, beautiful and even more mysterious:
What was known about Serena: that she was in part Tibetan…that no, obviously she was an heiress…that actually she was a gypsy princess…that she’d slept with a teacher…that she was a virgin.
Serena is the leader of the group of girls Olivia eventually joins. She is unpredictable, and therefore, like Luke, someone you can never quite hold on to.
But there is another, even more enigmatic figure that beckons Olivia: her father. It is from her father that Olivia has learned what she knows about Buddhism, and he is the reason she has come to the Levitation Center. He has left her, and the Levitation Center is the last place she knew him to be. Throughout the novel, flashbacks to conversations Olivia has had with her father reveal the Buddhist ideals she has grown up with:
Let me ask you this,” my father said. “Where is the self? Can you point to it? Can you tell me what color it is? No, not your sternum. Not your eye. Your Olivia.”
He shaped her. Now he is gone.
That is the salient feature of Olivia’s father: he is gone. Like Siddhartha himself, for all of his elegant detachment, Olivia’s father is essentially a deadbeat dad. His absence points to a tension at the heart of Buddhism that I have always struggled with: Buddhism teaches detachment, but under the guise of being peaceful, can one be too detached—as in, uncaring?
Olivia’s pain and bewilderment at this abandonment is what drives the novel. Nor is Olivia the only one of her friends who harbors a secret wound. Another in the group has panic attacks. Yet another has been abandoned not by one parent, but by both. In response to this disappointment in the world, this dukkha, they follow the path of Siddhartha: they seek to transcend.
In The Lightness, the desire to transcend takes the form of a quest. Throughout their summer at the camp, the girls are determined to learn to levitate—to actually rise into the air. They try a variety of methods to achieve this: getting Luke, the gardener, to teach them; breathing and thought exercises; not eating; special teas. It is Serena who is most determined to achieve this: as we learn towards the end of the novel, she has the most grief to rise above, the most pain to leave behind.
This central metaphor of the novel—the desire to rise above it all—tells a truth about spiritual seeking that many of us, I believe, will recognize. Siddhartha left his palace, discovered what life is truly about—short, painful, and then we die—and decided to throw away his easy life, go into the forest to meditate, and find an answer. Like him, each of us at one point realizes that, as writer Mark Epstein put it, life is a catastrophe. We are disappointed, and the impulse is to leave in some way. Slip out of the house, and go into the forest to figure it all out. Rise into the air and out of sight. In this way, I found The Lightness told a satisfying truth about spiritual longing.
A disappointment I felt was Olivia’s repudiation of Buddhism—indeed of all religion. Towards the end of the novel, Olivia declares “I have decided I hate religion.” Perhaps this was inevitable. Her father introduced her to Buddhism, and through his absence and fecklessness, he has rejected her. So Buddhism—in fact, religion in general–is rejected as well. Too bad that the belief system got thrown out with the character who introduced her to it. Too many books about religion, I feel, take it up only to reject it.
I will not spoil the book by revealing whether the girls achieve their quest. Let’s just say that while transcendence is not achieved by all, it is not presented as impossible, either. I loved this book and highly recommend it. For anyone who has studied Buddhism—for anyone at all, really, who has experienced loss, and quested for answers, The Lightness is a compelling and worthy read.

Chauth
Chauth (from Sanskrit meaning one-fourth) was a regular tax or tribute imposed, from early 18th century, by the Maratha Empire in India. It was an annual tax nominally levied at 25% on revenue or produce, hence the name. It was levied on the lands which were under nominal Mughal rule. The sardeshmukhi was an additional 10% levy on top of the chauth. It is a tribute paid to the king.
Opinions on the function of the Chauth vary. According to M G Ranade, the chauth was charged to provide armed security for a state by the Marathas and is thus comparable to the system of subsidiary alliances that was used by Lord Wellesley to bring Indian states under British control.
The historian Jadunath Sarkar has argued that the chauth was essentially a tax paid by those states that did not want the Marathas to enter into their realm. The chauth thus served as protection money against Maratha invasions against the chauth paying state. The tax was levied at the rate of one fourth the annual revenues of the state and was levied at the cost of the revenue paid by the state to the Mughals or the Deccan kingdoms.
Shivaji first demanded chauth in 1665 and the Deccan sultanates of Bijapur and Golconda began to pay him a combined sum of ₹800,000 after he was made a raja by Aurangzeb in 1668. In 1719, the Mughal emperor granted Shahu the chauth and sardeshmukhi rights over the six Deccan provinces in exchange for his maintaining a contingent of 15,000 troops for the emperor. The revenues from chauth were in turn divided into four parts that went to various functionaries of the Maratha empire.
25% of the levy, called babti, went to the chhatrapati and he also had discretionary grant making authority over the nadgaunda proceeds which amounted to 3% of the total collection. 6% of the chauth collections was granted to the panch sachiv, the officer in charge of the royal secretariat and was called the sahotra grant. Two-thirds of the collections however remained with the Maratha sardars who collected the taxes and they used it for maintaining their troops for the chhatrapati. This part of the levy was called mokasa. The chauth along with sardeshmukhi levies ensured a steady and large stream of income for the Marathas and helped them expand their beyond the swarajya territories of Shivaji.
The right to assess and collect this tax was asserted first by Shivaji in the later 17th century, on spurious grounds that his family were hereditary tax collectors in Maharashtra.

“Churches are being used for prisons, ISIS have been breaking all the crosses and statues of Mary”
Deacon Greg Kandra - published on 08/11/15
A sobering glimpse inside a town in northern Iraq that is now empty of Christians, from Christian Today:
Qaraqosh had been home to Iraq’s largest Christian community, with at least a quarter of the country’s Christian population living in the city and its surrounding towns. Its exodus prompted further concerns about the future of Christianity in the Middle East, and calls for the international community to open their borders to those fleeing persecution. Father Nageed Michaeel, a Dominican priest, was among those who left Qaraqosh on August 6, walking 40km on foot to Erbil in the middle of the night with around 50,000 others. “It was terrible. There were women and children with no food and water,” he recalled of the journey in an interview with Kurdish news agency Rudaw. Of the situation in Erbil, he said the tens of thousands left stranded were getting desperate. “We are in a tunnel and cannot see the light,” he said. No Christians are believed to remain in in Qaraqosh, and it is still in the hands of ISIS. In December of last year, an Iraqi priest told the Sunday Times that Bahnam Wa Sara and Al Kiama churches in the town were being used by ISIS to hold prisoners. “These two churches are being used as prisons and for torture,” Abu Aasi said, speaking from Baghdad where he had fled. “Most inside are Christians and they are being forced to convert to Islam. ISIS have been breaking all the crosses and statues of Mary.” | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11694 | {"url": "https://aleteia.org/blogs/aleteia-blog/churches-are-being-used-for-prisons-isis-have-been-breaking-all-the-crosses-and-statues-of-mary/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "aleteia.org", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:11:54Z", "digest": "sha1:QNE7TVCAFQJTTBQZB5XYEK5JXS472MYD"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1583, 1583.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1583, 3110.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1583, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1583, 70.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1583, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1583, 200.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1583, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1583, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1583, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1583, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1583, 0.43573668]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1583, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1583, 0.07830854]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1583, 0.07830854]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1583, 0.07830854]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1583, 0.07830854]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1583, 0.07830854]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1583, 0.07830854]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1583, 0.01957713]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1583, 0.01879405]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1583, 0.03132341]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1583, 0.01567398]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1583, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1583, 0.14106583]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1583, 0.57818182]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1583, 4.64363636]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1583, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1583, 4.71683808]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1583, 275.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 99, 1.0], [99, 142, 0.0], [142, 247, 0.0], [247, 1583, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 99, 0.0], [99, 142, 0.0], [142, 247, 0.0], [247, 1583, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 99, 17.0], [99, 142, 6.0], [142, 247, 18.0], [247, 1583, 234.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 99, 0.0], [99, 142, 0.15789474], [142, 247, 0.0], [247, 1583, 0.00610221]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 99, 0.0], [99, 142, 0.0], [142, 247, 0.0], [247, 1583, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 99, 0.06060606], [99, 142, 0.06976744], [142, 247, 0.04761905], [247, 1583, 0.04116766]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1583, 0.95181626]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1583, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1583, 0.68669111]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1583, -1.71136601]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1583, 72.21157936]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1583, 3.74473396]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1583, 12.0]]} |

The ALISE 2016 Conference theme of “Radical Change: Inclusion and Innovation” celebrates the far reaching impact of Eliza T. Dresang’s work. The conference welcomes contributions that explore inclusive practices and innovative strategies in teaching and research, with special interest for Cultural Diversity, Digital Societies, Intellectual Freedom, Social Justice and International Resources.
Our logo for the conference is the metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly. This is a great symbol of radical change and transformation. Although the caterpillar and the butterfly exist in the same environment, each has its own perception and understanding of the world. As the caterpillar prepares for transformation, it must build the chrysalis, which acts as protection and change agent. When the radical change is completed, the butterfly emerges from the chrysalis into a new world, one of amazing potential and opportunity. The radical transformation and change allows the caterpillar to move beyond its small environment as a beautiful butterfly excited and ready to see and learn about its brave new world.

Pre-Conference Workshop: Education to Innovate
The forum on “Envisioning Our Information Future and How to Educate for It,” supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and held in January 2015, engaged a diverse group of stakeholders—from directors of libraries, museums and archives, to digital humanities scholars, content providers, futurists, and information technology entrepreneurs—in intense discussion of the challenges and opportunities to which LIS education must respond (see http://infofuture.simmmons.edu). This interactive workshop at ALISE 2016 will be a follow up to that forum, engaging more LIS educators in discussions together with forum participants from other stakeholder groups in developing more specific proposals for innovations in LIS education.
