Foshan Nanhai "City Brain" appeared at the Digital China Construction Summit, demonstrating the technological innovation capabilities of the digital economy
From October 12th to 14th, the 3rd Digital China Construction Summit was held. During the summit, the organizer simultaneously held the China Construction Achievements Exhibition. As the only representative of the prefecture-level city in Guangdong Province at this summit, Foshan has meticulously built a 240-square-meter "Digital Foshan" exhibition area.
As a pathfinder for the integration of urban and rural development through digitalization, Nanhai District also systematically presented the construction results of "Digital South China Sea" at the exhibition. In the exhibition in Foshan, South China Sea, South China Sea set "brain city", Nanhai District, Big Data Industry Association, Foshan City, the number of letter word Simulation Technology Research Institute, government services and other self-service area four booths, the system introduces the South China Sea "Digital Government" And the experience and practice of smart city construction.
Realize the holistic perception of urban and rural areas, and build a digital governance hub and empowerment platform
The "urban brain" displayed this time is the most eye-catching achievement of Nanhai in the field of smart city construction in recent years. At the end of 2018, Nanhai launched the construction of the "urban brain", based on the idea of urban and rural co-construction, co-governance and sharing, and through the integration of information, business, and technology, to achieve a unified map of all basic data, and build the overall situation, economic development, human settlements, and government affairs. Service, Social Governance and Guangdong Financial High-tech Zone have 20 topics in six sectors, bringing together 82 units, more than 4,000 data tables, and over 3.465 billion pieces of data to create a unified digital governance center and empowerment platform for the entire region.
According to reports, the first phase of the Nanhai "Urban Brain" has been put into use, allowing Nanhai to realize the whole range of urban and rural perception and governance "knowledge in mind". As the “digital base” of the Smart City in the South China Sea, the second phase of the City Brain will start with the construction of new infrastructure projects such as 5G, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and big data centers to build a “1+3+N” framework system, namely : Form a set of unified management standards, build the three-level brains of districts, towns (streets), and villages (communities), and create N new application scenarios. Through real-time data sharing and big data analysis, explore co-construction, co-governance, and sharing Modern city management. The second phase of Nanhai "Urban Brain" will also optimize and upgrade the digital cockpit, access applications such as smart environmental protection, smart medical care, and smart housing construction to enhance government governance and service capabilities.
Deepen the reform of government services and optimize the experience of enterprises and the public
Nanhai's government service reform practice is also presented in this exhibition. As an important part of the construction of "digital government", Nanhai optimized and improved the experience and efficiency of government services based on the computing power of the "urban brain". It was the first in China to cancel the receipt window of district-level service halls, and build on the original basis. 552 district-level items were decentralized again, and the implementation items of the towns and streets increased to 1,345. Government service resources were allocated to the towns and streets, giving them more administrative approval autonomy, and further enhancing the grass-roots service capabilities.
In addition, Nanhai has further deepened the reform of the engineering construction approval system, re-exploiting the potential from the pre-project implementation process, realizing the entire process of engineering construction project network management, applying electronic signatures to 100% of the approval process, and innovatively launching the reform of "simulation approval" to promote major projects The approval time has been greatly shortened, and the enterprise project has achieved "land acquisition and construction", which has been highly recognized by the enterprise.
Promoting intelligent approval is one of Nanhai's ways to optimize government services. At this exhibition, the government service smart counter was also unveiled. As the main carrier of intelligent approval, the intelligent counter integrates advanced technologies such as Internet+, big data analysis, and blockchain, breaking the manual service mode of a single window, allowing the masses to " easy to declare , fill in less orders, and pay less in the process of doing things." Material and second certificate issuance" to enhance the sense of working experience.
In recent years, Nanhai has successfully implemented cross-city administration of government services and the Bay Area through the deployment of smart counters in cities in the Pearl River Delta, Hong Kong and Macau.
Empower the construction of smart cities and introduce scientific research platforms to foster digital economy
As a key scientific research platform for the development of "digital government" and digital economy in Foshan and Nanhai, Foshan Guoxin Digital Simulation Technology Research Institute also appeared in this exhibition.
In June 2019, Foshan Guoxin Digital Simulation Technology Research Institute officially settled in Nanhai, Foshan, providing new support for the integration of local industries and digital economy. Focusing on the two key areas of digital government and digital industry, the Institute focuses on the extensive integration of resources from all parties in the digital economy and comprehensive services for digital government decision-making.
The Institute participated in the hosting of large-scale events such as the “Guangdong Province Urban-Rural Integration Development Reform and Innovation Pilot Zone Digital Governance Work Promotion Meeting”, and actively expanded service areas with partner units, and extensively invited well-known domestic and foreign experts, think tanks, and leading representatives to guide various Digital economy innovation activities gather in Foshan to assist in the creation of collaborative innovation development of industry, university and research, and inject innovative thinking and scientific research resources into the development of local digital economy.
At the booth of Nanhai District Big Data Industry Association, Nanhai's practice of cultivating digital economy was also systematically displayed. According to reports, the association currently has 93 registered member companies, mainly engaged in network IT, 5G, blockchain, big data, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, a total of 58 companies, accounting for more than half of the association’s companies, member companies’ products or services Covers smart government affairs, smart environmental protection, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, etc. | 2023-14/0004/en_head.json.gz/15930 | {"url": "https://www.airbq.com/2020/10/foshan-nanhai-city-brain-appeared-at.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.airbq.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:21:36Z", "digest": "sha1:EQYEETLHSRMDF3AM7RJAEI6DL6U6X26R"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 7271, 7271.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 7271, 9149.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 7271, 16.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 7271, 64.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 7271, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 7271, 275.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 7271, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 7271, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 7271, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 7271, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 7271, 0.29467832]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 7271, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 7271, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 7271, 0.05398245]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 7271, 0.03179334]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 7271, 0.01854612]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 7271, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 7271, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 7271, 0.00993542]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 7271, 0.01076337]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 7271, 0.00745156]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 7271, 0.00397141]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 7271, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 7271, 0.16521048]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 7271, 0.38187078]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 7271, 5.82352941]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 7271, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 7271, 5.14777187]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 7271, 1037.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 157, 0.0], [157, 514, 1.0], [514, 1117, 1.0], [1117, 1235, 0.0], [1235, 2033, 1.0], [2033, 3083, 1.0], [3083, 3182, 0.0], [3182, 3891, 1.0], [3891, 4478, 1.0], [4478, 5047, 1.0], [5047, 5264, 1.0], [5264, 5375, 0.0], [5375, 5596, 1.0], [5596, 6039, 1.0], [6039, 6698, 1.0], [6698, 7271, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 157, 0.0], [157, 514, 0.0], [514, 1117, 0.0], [1117, 1235, 0.0], [1235, 2033, 0.0], [2033, 3083, 0.0], [3083, 3182, 0.0], [3182, 3891, 0.0], [3891, 4478, 0.0], [4478, 5047, 0.0], [5047, 5264, 0.0], [5264, 5375, 0.0], [5375, 5596, 0.0], [5596, 6039, 0.0], [6039, 6698, 0.0], [6698, 7271, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 157, 20.0], [157, 514, 49.0], [514, 1117, 86.0], [1117, 1235, 18.0], [1235, 2033, 122.0], [2033, 3083, 157.0], [3083, 3182, 15.0], [3182, 3891, 103.0], [3891, 4478, 78.0], [4478, 5047, 85.0], [5047, 5264, 33.0], [5264, 5375, 15.0], [5375, 5596, 31.0], [5596, 6039, 62.0], [6039, 6698, 87.0], [6698, 7271, 76.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 157, 0.0], [157, 514, 0.02318841], [514, 1117, 0.0], [1117, 1235, 0.0], [1235, 2033, 0.02080624], [2033, 3083, 0.0029703], [3083, 3182, 0.0], [3182, 3891, 0.01015965], [3891, 4478, 0.00525394], [4478, 5047, 0.0], [5047, 5264, 0.0], [5264, 5375, 0.0], [5375, 5596, 0.0], [5596, 6039, 0.0091954], [6039, 6698, 0.0], [6698, 7271, 0.00900901]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 157, 0.0], [157, 514, 0.0], [514, 1117, 0.0], [1117, 1235, 0.0], [1235, 2033, 0.0], [2033, 3083, 0.0], [3083, 3182, 0.0], [3182, 3891, 0.0], [3891, 4478, 0.0], [4478, 5047, 0.0], [5047, 5264, 0.0], [5264, 5375, 0.0], [5375, 5596, 0.0], [5596, 6039, 0.0], [6039, 6698, 0.0], [6698, 7271, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 157, 0.05095541], [157, 514, 0.04761905], [514, 1117, 0.05472637], [1117, 1235, 0.00847458], [1235, 2033, 0.01378446], [2033, 3083, 0.02380952], [3083, 3182, 0.01010101], [3182, 3891, 0.00846262], [3891, 4478, 0.00511073], [4478, 5047, 0.01054482], [5047, 5264, 0.04608295], [5264, 5375, 0.00900901], [5375, 5596, 0.04524887], [5596, 6039, 0.02934537], [6039, 6698, 0.02883156], [6698, 7271, 0.02792321]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 7271, 0.31721663]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 7271, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 7271, 0.13036644]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 7271, -238.31594313]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 7271, 88.45651359]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 7271, 228.1444068]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 7271, 30.0]]} |
Le Meridien Seoul Hotel
The upscale, design-focused Le Méridien recently opened in the heart of Seoul’s Gangnam district. It is the first hotel of its kind in South Korea. WSP provided full project and construction management oversight for the project, which replaced the aging Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Le Méridien Seoul
Located next to Sinnonhyeon Station, which also now bears the sub-name for the newly opened Le Méridien Seoul, the property’s location in the heart of Gangnam made it ideal for a design-focused hotel.
The 18-storey property features a total of 336 rooms, with 136 suites. Le Méridien Seoul also features numerous dining options, a pool and spa, fitness center and a lounge with breathtaking views of the surrounding cityscape. Some of the most visually striking features of the hotel include the contemporary art installations, both inside and outside of the building, from prominent South Korean artists.
The building had previously housed Seoul’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel, but after 22 years of service the property was in need of a refresh. WSP was engaged to oversee the design, cost, schedule, quality and renovation construction work at the site.
The opening of the project comes just ahead of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic, which is expected to attract tens of thousands of visitors to Seoul and its surrounding provinces later in February.
The first public art museum in Australia to achieve a 6-star Green Star design rating. WSP worked with Atelier Ten and the Art Gallery of New South Wales during the design phase to ensure ecologically sustainable design outcomes were achieved.

Netflix acquires Laura McGann's Sundance-bound freediving documentary The Deepest Breath
12 Dec 2022 : Nathan Griffin
Laura McGann's The Deepest Breath.
Netflix has acquired the rights to Irish director Laura McGann’s upcoming feature documentary The Deepest Breath, which will have its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival in January.
Netflix has collaborated with A24, Motive Films, Ventureland, and RAW on this gripping look at the undeniable connection forged between two athletes as they navigate the vigorous and competitive world of freediving.
The documentary follows a champion freediver as they train to break a world record with the help of an expert safety diver, and form an emotional bond that feels like fate. This heart-stopping film follows the paths they took to meet at the pinnacle of the freediving world, documenting the thrilling rewards, and inescapable risks, of chasing a dream through the silent depths of the ocean.
The film is directed by Irish filmmaker Laura McGann. Having started making films and producing theatre when she was 15 years old, Laura went on to study film in Ballyfermot College, Dublin before getting her masters at Hope University, Liverpool. McGann has worked in Ireland and abroad shooting and directing numerous documentary projects for RTE, SKY, PBS, BBC, Lonely Planet and UTV.
“The setting and emotional power of this story is what initially drew me into wanting to make this documentary,” said the director. “Filming around the world and with the remarkable subjects at the heart of The Deepest Breath has been the most inspirational and rewarding experience of my career. The entire team is delighted to be partnering with Netflix to share what we believe is a fitting tribute to the exceptional world of freediving and the fearless athletes in our film.”
The film is produced by John Battsek, Sarah Thomson, and Irish producer Jamie D’Alton and Anne McLoughlin Motive Films (Notorious). Bart Layton and A24 feature as executive producers.

RAW, an All3Media company, produces Discovery’s highest-rated show Gold Rush; for CNN, RAW has also recently produced the Emmy winning series Stanley Tucci: Searching For Italy.

The Indus Valley civilization, one of the world's oldest, flourished during the 3rd and 2nd millennia B.C. and extended into northwestern India. Aryan tribes from the northwest infiltrated the Indian subcontinent about 1500 B.C.; their merger with the earlier Dravidian inhabitants created the classical Indian culture. The Maurya Empire of the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. - which reached its zenith under ASHOKA - united much of South Asia. The Golden Age ushered in by the Gupta dynasty (4th to 6th centuries A.D.) saw a flowering of Indian science, art, and culture. Islam spread across the subcontinent over a period of 700 years. In the 10th and 11th centuries, Turks and Afghans invaded India and established the Delhi Sultanate. In the early 16th century, the Emperor BABUR established the Mughal Dynasty, which ruled India for more than three centuries. European explorers began establishing footholds in India during the 16th century.
By the 19th century, Great Britain had become the dominant political power on the subcontinent. The British Indian Army played a vital role in both World Wars. Years of nonviolent resistance to British rule, led by Mohandas GANDHI and Jawaharlal NEHRU, eventually resulted in Indian independence, which was granted in 1947. Large-scale communal violence took place before and after the subcontinent partition into two separate states - India and Pakistan. The neighboring nations have fought three wars since independence, the last of which was in 1971 and resulted in East Pakistan becoming the separate nation of Bangladesh. India's nuclear weapons tests in 1998 emboldened Pakistan to conduct its own tests that same year. In November 2008, terrorists originating from Pakistan conducted a series of coordinated attacks in Mumbai, India's financial capital. Despite pressing problems such as significant overpopulation, environmental degradation, extensive poverty, and widespread corruption, economic growth following the launch of economic reforms in 1991 and a massive youthful population are driving India's emergence as a regional and global power.
India is a federal parliamentary republic.

American Study finds Keystone XL Pipeline Would Benefit U.S. Economy
Dec 2, 2010 | Corporate Member News
TransCanada Corporation (TSX, NYSE: TRP) (TransCanada) highlights the findings of a new, independent study that says the Keystone XL pipeline is needed to replace dwindling crude oil supplies at U.S. refineries. The study also found the transportation and processing of oil sands crude would inject $100-600 million into the U.S. economy each year.
The study was prepared and released by the not-for-profit organization the Energy Policy Research Foundation, Inc. (EPRINC). EPRINC found that due to lower volumes of oil being shipped to the U.S. from Mexico and Venezuela, U.S. refiners are seeing their needed supply decline.
The study notes that TransCanada is looking to transport U.S. crude from the prolific Bakken oil formation in North Dakota and Montana – providing producers with access to the Oklahoma and U.S. Gulf Coast markets. EPRINC’s report found that increasing transportation efficiency and allowing Bakken producers access to new refining markets will have the added benefit of improving the well-head value for U.S. crude oil from the Bakken formation.
EPRINC went on to say Keystone XL benefits U.S. refineries by supplying them with an efficient, secure supply of oil to support the 14 million barrels that are refined each day (10 million imported), and increasing operating margins for these American refineries – many of whom made expensive upgrades in complex facilities that need heavy oil.
“This study supports what TransCanada has been saying for months – that Keystone XL would provide a needed, stable supply of oil to U.S. refineries and provide long term economic benefits to U.S. oil producers, U.S. refiners and the American economy,” said Russ Girling, TransCanada’s president and chief executive officer.
During construction, Keystone XL would create 13,000 jobs and further produce 118,000 spin-off jobs for local businesses and companies that would benefit from the $20 billion Keystone XL would inject into the U.S. economy.
“Our Keystone XL project is shovel-ready and we are set to begin construction once approvals are received,” added Girling. “This project is supported by a number of major U.S. unions and will be totally financed by the private sector with no government stimulus funding.”
Keystone XL is a proposed extension to the existing Keystone oil pipeline system that is currently shipping oil to refineries in Illinois. The $7 billion Keystone XL project would transport 500,000 barrels per day of crude oil from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries in Texas. The pipeline has contracts for 75 per cent of the line’s capacity over an average term of 18 years.
With more than 50 years’ experience, TransCanada is a leader in the responsible development and reliable operation of North American energy infrastructure including natural gas and oil pipelines, power generation and gas storage facilities. TransCanada’s network of wholly owned natural gas pipelines extends more than 60,000 kilometres (37,000 miles), tapping into virtually all major gas supply basins in North America. TransCanada is one of the continent’s largest providers of gas storage and related services with approximately 380 billion cubic feet of storage capacity. A growing independent power producer, TransCanada owns, or has interests in, over 10,800 megawatts of power generation in Canada and the United States. TransCanada is developing one of North America’s largest oil delivery systems. TransCanada’s common shares trade on the Toronto and New York stock exchanges under the symbol TRP.

The U.S. State Department, through its Global Engagement Center (GEC), helped facilitate funding for a group that reportedly works to demonetize sites it claims are disseminating “disinformation,” including conservative news outlets, according to its website.
The Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a United Kingdom-based nonprofit that styles itself as a “non-political” monitor working to “disrupt the business model of disinformation,” lists as a funder the Disinfo Cloud, a now-shuttered GEC project. However, GDI has worked to demonetize conservative news sites by collaborating with ad exchanges to flag alleged purveyors of disinformation, the Washington Examiner reported Thursday.
GDI maintains a “dynamic exclusion list” of the worst offenders of disinformation online, according to its website. The organization then provides this list to ad tech companies, which can then “defund and downrank these worst offenders” and thereby defund sites allegedly promoting disinformation.
While the exclusion list isn’t publicly available, popular conservative news site Breitbart is on the list, according to the Examiner, and it is “plausible” that any of the “riskiest” outlets would also be on the exclusion list, according to a member of the GDI advisory panel who spoke to the Examiner.

In this list of news outlets that were deemed the “riskiest” for alleged promotion of disinformation, GDI identified several prominent conservative news sites including the New York Post and the Daily Wire. By comparison, the “least risky” sites were overwhelmingly left-wing.
Moreover, GDI flagged the Examiner itself as disseminating “anti-LGBTQ+” disinformation, according to an October 2022 GDI memo, and pointed to an Amazon ad displayed on the Examiner page. The “anti-LGBTQ+” content in question was found in an opinion article.
In September 2021, the State Department’s GEC hosted the U.S.-Paris Tech Challenge, an event seeking to “advance the development of promising and innovative technologies against disinformation and propaganda” in Europe and the U.K. The event was held in “collaboration with U.S. Embassy Paris, the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)” and several other entities.
GDI, along with the U.K.-based Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), were two of the three winners; ISD also works to monitor and combat perceived misinformation and disinformation, and lists as government partners the U.S. State Department and U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The three winners will receive grants totaling $250,000, according to the Atlantic Council, which partnered with the State Department to arrange the event.
GDI also lists among its funders George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, Pierre Omidyar’s Luminate and Craig Newmark Philanthropies.
The Global Disinformation Index and the State Department did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment.

Hambro Perks Growth Debt Fund announces £2 million investment in legal tech platform Apperio
London, 10 January 2023 – Following its first investment in November 2022, Hambro Perks today announces its second investment from the newly launched Hambro Perks Growth Debt fund (“the Fund”). The Fund has invested £2 million in growth funding to Apperio Limited (“Apperio”), a London-based B2B legal technology platform. Apperio received backing from the Fund to help drive the continued growth of the business.
Founded in 2013 (known then as Legal Tender), Apperio has developed a proprietary software platform that enables its clients, such as large law firms, private equity houses and corporates, to view and control external legal spend in real-time. Apperio’s software can connect with the existing systems and data source of law firms and automate the collection, processing, and visualisation of legal spend. This funding round is part of a wider $7 million growth round, with participation from existing investors Molten, IQ Capital, Notion, NextLaw, and new investors Volution and Hambro Perks. The announcement today brings the total funding Apperio has raised to date to $19.9 million.
The deal was led by Usman Ali and Ylan Lamour of Hambro Perks’ newly launched fund which supports UK and European high-growth scale-up companies with non-dilutive growth capital, focusing on B2B SaaS and IP-rich advanced manufacturing companies. The £100 million pan-European fund recently had its first close and comprises a team of five highly experienced venture debt practitioners.
Usman Ali, Partner in the Growth Debt Fund at Hambro Perks, said:
“Apperio has continued to grow its top-line revenue in the last couple of years by successfully seeking partnerships with companies with large legal budgets. Apperio’s proprietary technology connects directly to law firms’ practice management systems to provide a live view of all matters, including unbilled work-in-progress and invoiced jobs. Unlike eBilling solutions, which allows limited visibility and often lags real time data, Apperio provides instant visibility of both historic and unbilled legal spend data. We strongly believe that the business has tremendous growth potential, and our latest funding package, alongside the new equity, will help catalyse this. It’s an exciting time for Apperio, and we look forward to seeing how the business evolves and expands into new markets.”
Nicholas d’Adhemar, Founder and CEO of Apperio, said:
“Legal costs have grown this year and many in-house lawyers report they anticipate costs to grow further next year as well. Certainly, inflation is a factor, but business today is simply more complicated because there are more compliance, regulatory and legal risks than ever. This is driving up demand for legal services and by extension legal costs. The visibility and transparency the Apperio legal spend management platform provides is a proven way for in-house legal teams to control costs – and does so in a way that strengthens their relationships with their external legal advisors and law firms. We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Usman and the team at Hambro Perks and rely on their support as we continue this journey of helping legal departments control costs and bring greater transparency to the business of law.”

Post-Earthquake Housing Reconstruction Support
The April and May 2015 earthquakes in Nepal damaged or destroyed over 755,000 homes, making housing the single largest reconstruction need and the Government of Nepal’s (GON) highest priority. USAID is funding a number of complementary initiatives to help meet this need and support the GON’s owner-driven housing reconstruction efforts. USAID has provided over $23.3million supporting to the housing sector to date.
Baliyo Ghar
The five-year, $10.3 million Baliyo Ghar project, implemented by the National Society for Earthquake Technology-Nepal (NSET), is a key part of USAID/Nepal’s reconstruction portfolio. Designed to help homeowners and communities rebuild in a way that increases their resilience to future disasters, Baliyo Ghar is closely aligned with the Government of Nepal (GON) owner-driven housing reconstruction project which empowers and supports homeowners, allowing them to build back safer. Baliyo Ghar established district- and local-level reconstruction technology centers, construction models, and demonstration homes. Project mobile units provide technical assistance to homeowners at the household and community level. At the national level, Baliyo Ghar supports the GON in developing improved and standardized training curricula and procedures to be used during masons and engineers training and while orienting homeowners.
Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Project
After the devastating earthquake on April 25, 2015, mental health needs in Nepal increased considerably. The alarming rate of suicidal ideas in 10 percent of earthquake-affected populations revealed through a rapid survey indicated the high mental health burden. As there is no mental health desk at the Government of Nepal’s Ministry of Health (MoH), the UN World Health Organization (WHO), as co-lead of the Health Cluster, is supporting the MoH to fill this gap. Immediately after the 2015 earthquake, there was an urgent need to coordinate among partners implementing mental health response activities to ensure adherence to WHO and Inter Agency Standing Committee (IASC) guidelines.
Strengthening Flood Resilience in Nepal's Kamala River Basin Through End-to-End Early Warning System
The Kamala River Basin End-to-End (E2E) Early Warning System contributes to increase resilience of communities to floods, while strengthening stakeholder capacity to manage an E2E early warning system.
Despite a decade-long conflict and other political challenges, Nepal has made remarkable progress in expanding learning opportunities for children and adults. Since 1990, net primary school enrollment rates have increased from 64 to 96 percent, with near gender parity. However, the quality of education remains low, as are secondary school completion rates. | 2023-14/0004/en_head.json.gz/20060 | {"url": "https://2012-2017.usaid.gov/nepal/newsroom?page=1", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "2012-2017.usaid.gov", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:27:48Z", "digest": "sha1:WA2A6HESWLAGLIOYTEYVO4IZEWKFW7JU"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2801, 2801.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2801, 9155.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2801, 9.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2801, 266.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2801, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2801, 292.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2801, 0.27070707]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2801, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2801, 0.02145923]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2801, 0.0193133]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2801, 0.01888412]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2801, 0.03030303]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2801, 0.17777778]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2801, 0.57537688]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2801, 5.85427136]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2801, 5.052671]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2801, 398.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 464, 1.0], [464, 476, 0.0], [476, 1397, 1.0], [1397, 1452, 0.0], [1452, 2140, 1.0], [2140, 2241, 0.0], [2241, 2443, 1.0], [2443, 2801, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 464, 0.0], [464, 476, 0.0], [476, 1397, 0.0], [1397, 1452, 0.0], [1452, 2140, 0.0], [2140, 2241, 0.0], [2241, 2443, 0.0], [2443, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 47, 4.0], [47, 464, 62.0], [464, 476, 2.0], [476, 1397, 125.0], [1397, 1452, 7.0], [1452, 2140, 105.0], [2140, 2241, 13.0], [2241, 2443, 28.0], [2443, 2801, 52.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 464, 0.0320197], [464, 476, 0.0], [476, 1397, 0.00335196], [1397, 1452, 0.0], [1452, 2140, 0.01793722], [2140, 2241, 0.0], [2241, 2443, 0.01025641], [2443, 2801, 0.02292264]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 464, 0.0], [464, 476, 0.0], [476, 1397, 0.0], [1397, 1452, 0.0], [1452, 2140, 0.0], [2140, 2241, 0.0], [2241, 2443, 0.0], [2443, 2801, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 47, 0.10638298], [47, 464, 0.05275779], [464, 476, 0.16666667], [476, 1397, 0.03800217], [1397, 1452, 0.18181818], [1452, 2140, 0.05087209], [2140, 2241, 0.12871287], [2241, 2443, 0.06435644], [2443, 2801, 0.01117318]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2801, 0.48220372]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2801, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2801, 0.50050068]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2801, -198.66634401]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2801, -7.44722121]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2801, -8.985949]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2801, 18.0]]} |

The Burchfield Penney Art Center is a museum dedicated to the art and vision of Charles E. Burchfield and the art and artists of our region. Through our affiliation with SUNY Buffalo State College, we encourage learning and celebrate our richly creative, diverse community.
As keepers of the past and explorers of "the next", the Burchfield Penney Art Center will be a catalyst for cultural vitality and creativity in Western New York.
The Burchfield Penney commits to inspire, invest in, and celebrate the historical and contemporary accomplishments of artists. We will energize the WNY community and SUNY Buffalo State College through meaningful, educational, and engaging experiences and will sustain and enhance our culture and environment through our decisions and actions.
The Burchfield Penney's 5-year strategic plan was adopted by the Board of Trustees in 2015. An overview can be downloaded from this link.
The Center’s History
Dedicated to regional art since 1966. Consistent with its mission as both a single-artist and regional art center, the Burchfield Penney has throughout its history broadened its range of commitments and activities, while intensifying the museum's focus on the work of renowned painter Charles E. Burchfield.
Burchfield--the first artist ever offered a solo show at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)--inspired the creation of the museum at Buffalo State College in 1966. Originally called the Charles Burchfield Center, the institution was formally created through the Buffalo State College Foundation Inc. Its first director was Edna M. Lindemann, Ph.D.
In 1983 the institution was renamed the Burchfield Art Center to support its multi-arts focus. Committing to a full range of visual expression, including craft art, architecture, and design the Burchfield Council formally accepted an expanded mission in 1988.
Led by its second director, Anthony Bannon, Ph.D., who served from 1985-96, the Burchfield Penney began a decade of significant growth. Expansions of exhibition space, archives and collection storage, and administrative offices were accompanied by increased fiscal and community support.
Between 1991 and 1994, the Burchfield Art Center received a series of gifts from Charles Rand Penney, including the largest private collection of works by Charles E. Burchfield; publications and hand-crafted domestic objects from the Roycroft community; and historic and contemporary works of craft and fine art.
These collections, which have been used in numerous exhibitions, educational programs, and publications, provided the Burchfield Penney with invaluable national exposure. In 1994, the institution was renamed the Burchfield Penney Art Center to honor the significance of these gifts and their contribution to the museum’s mission.
Community collaborations, including those that led to the development of the Elmwood Museum District and the Olmsted Crescent, the public art projects Herd About Buffalo and Art On Wheels and a dynamic exhibition schedule, illustrate the center’s growth. The Burchfield Penney began a new phase of service to a national and international audience with its third director, Ted Pietrzak, who served from 1998-2010.
The most recent chapter of the center’s history began in 1998 when William J. Magavern II proposed a new museum building for the Burchfield Penney with a significant lead gift. After a decade of planning, fundraising, and construction, the new Burchfield Penney Art Center, designed by Gwathemy Siegel & Associates, opened in November, 2008. The New York Times included Buffalo, NY and the Burchfield Penney Art Center as one of the “Top 44 Places in the World to Visit” the following year.
In 2012 it was announced that Anthony Bannon would return to the center as director after 16 years as director of the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, NY.
The center celebrated its 50 year anniversary in 2016. The year was highlighted by groundbreaking exhibitions, dynamic programming, aggressive collecting and celebration of the cultural legacy of the region.
Executive director Tony Bannon retired from the Center on July 1, 2017, at the conclusion of the 50th anniversary celebrations. On April 4, 2019, the Burchfield Penney announced the appointment of Dennis Kois as its executive director.
In addition to its visual arts offerings, the Burchfield Penney currently presents a robust slate of concerts, literary readings, lectures, symposia, workshops, and special events. This diverse programming provides artists, students, scholars, collectors, and the general public with opportunities to learn and exchange ideas about how regional art reflects American aesthetics and culture.
The Burchfield Penney, accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and member of the Association of Art Museum Directors, is supported in part with public funds from Erie County and New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature. Additional support is provided by SUNY Buffalo State, the Elizabeth Elser Doolittle Trust, the Mary A.H. Rumsey Foundation, the James Carey Evans Endowment and Burchfield Penney members and friends.
Development of this website and digitization of the Burchfield Penney's collection would not have been possible without the support of the Museums for America grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The Institute's mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas.
The Burchfield Penney Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State College receives public support from SUNY Buffalo State College, Erie County, the New York State Council on the Arts, the Institute for Museum and Library Sciences, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the City of Buffalo. Private support is provided by KeyBank in partnership with the First Niagara Foundation, The Cameron and Jane Baird Foundation, the Cullen Foundation, the Charles E. Burchfield Foundation, M&T Bank, The John R. Oishei Foundation, The Margaret L. Wendt Foundation, John and Paula Reinhold/Joy Family Foundation, The Western New York Foundation, the Elizabeth Elser Doolittle Trust, the Mary A. H. Rumsey Foundation, the James Carey Evans Endowment, and many additional individuals, corporations, foundations, and Burchfield Penney members.

Sir Speedy Pioneers Web-Hosted Document Management System
MISSION VIEJO, Calif.--Jan. 5, 2004-- Sir Speedy, a global franchisor of printing, copying and document management centers, is introducing the quick print industry's first Web-hosted document management system. The service is designed for small and mid-sized businesses, expanding on Sir Speedy's current business document services offering which includes scan-to-archive, variable printing, online tracking and reporting, on-demand printing and electronic file distribution. The service is scalable to expand as a business' needs grow without investment in new hardware or software, eliminating overhead expenses associated with installing and maintaining costly document management software and hardware. Businesses will manage their documents through their own Web site or intranet, but the system is hosted on the security of Sir Speedy servers. "Business success depends on the efficient transfer of information internally and externally. We commonly hear customers talking about their frustration with locating, revising and storing documents, but don't have the time or budget to implement a document management system," explained Dan Beck, president of Sir Speedy Inc. "Our hosted service will provide small and mid-sized businesses with an economical, high end solution for packaging documents to help their business remain competitive by boosting productivity and cutting costs." Using the hosted service, businesses can create, edit and reproduce the most recent versions of documents on demand, at any time from anywhere. This is critical in an increasingly competitive economy where documents change daily, requiring fast and convenient access for revisions, printing and distribution. All information, from contracts and product data to training manuals and marketing materials, is uploaded into Sir Speedy's system in a universal format for compatibility across all software programs and applications. Sir Speedy's servers are equipped with financial grade security and information is backed up on a regular basis for added protection. Documents can also be scanned, archived and indexed on CD or DVD to preserve the legitimacy of original copies while eliminating storage and inventory expenses. "We have seen an increased interest by small and midsized businesses in document management systems over the past 18 months," said Peter Grant, senior analyst for Gartner research. "Sir Speedy's MyDocs document management system is positioned well to compete in this growth market." Other advantages of Sir Speedy's MyDocs Web-hosted service include variable printing to customize marketing materials; order tracking and reporting to create a virtual paper trail; and localized printing and distribution services by nearly 1,000 Sir Speedy centers and business affiliates worldwide. | 2023-14/0004/en_head.json.gz/20932 | {"url": "https://whattheythink.com/news/20473-sir-speedy-pioneers-web-hosted-document-management/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "whattheythink.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:42:53Z", "digest": "sha1:I6IJI6Q3SRFPZBYMNERGZXHMW3QCF7IC"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2852, 2852.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2852, 5444.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2852, 2.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2852, 82.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2852, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2852, 290.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2852, 0.29735234]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2852, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2852, 0.05311973]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2852, 0.04047218]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2852, 0.03288364]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2852, 0.00814664]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2852, 0.14663951]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2852, 0.55773956]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2852, 5.82800983]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2852, 5.03785265]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2852, 407.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 58, 0.0], [58, 2852, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 58, 0.0], [58, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 58, 7.0], [58, 2852, 400.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 58, 0.0], [58, 2852, 0.00404263]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 58, 0.0], [58, 2852, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 58, 0.13793103], [58, 2852, 0.02219041]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2852, 0.66557956]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2852, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2852, 0.19250321]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2852, -114.38535662]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2852, -25.26614998]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2852, -48.03312387]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2852, 17.0]]} |
News: KKR acquires Atlantic Yards in Atlanta, Georgia
Press Release - KKR, a leading global investment firm, today announced that Global Atlantic Financial Group ("Global Atlantic"), a majority-owned subsidiary of KKR, has acquired Atlantic Yards, a Class A trophy, two-building office asset located in Midtown Atlanta, from global real estate firm, Hines, and its institutional joint venture partner advised by Invesco Real Estate, a global real estate investment manager.
Atlantic Yards consists of 523,511 square feet (SF) of Trophy Class A office in two towers. The buildings were built in 2021 and are located within Atlantic Station, a 12.5 million SF master planned sustainable mixed-use development in Atlanta's Midtown submarket. The state-of-the-art property is designed for LEED Gold certification and was purpose built for high-tech occupancy while embracing the industrial heritage of the Atlantic Station site, once the home of the Atlantic Steel Mill and railyards. The property has highly efficient building systems and features extensive outdoor areas, fitness facilities, bike storage and 861 parking spaces. Atlantic Yards, located within a highly commuter friendly area, is within walking distance of Midtown's most popular dine-shop-work destinations.
"Atlanta is one of the fastest growing technology hubs in the Sunbelt, thanks to its great academic institutions, diverse talent and long history of serving as home to leading Fortune 500 companies," said Roger Morales, KKR Partner and Head of Real Estate Acquisitions in the Americas. "As one of the highest quality properties in the market, with strategic importance to a blue-chip tenant, Atlantic Yards provides a long-term, yield-oriented exposure that is a perfect match for our insurance capital. We are delighted to transact with the great teams at Hines and Invesco Real Estate and we look forward to adding this property to our portfolio in Atlanta."
The property is 100% leased to Microsoft Corp. through 2035 and serves as a cornerstone of the company's growing presence in the broader Atlanta metropolitan area. Microsoft has made significant investments in Atlantic Yards and expects to house approximately 1,500 to 2,000 employees at the facility, drawing on Atlanta's deep base of high-tech talent, which is making Midtown a top innovation district and an emerging technology hub. Atlantic Yards will serve as a client-facing workplace for Microsoft, with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud services, including space for engaging directly with customers.
"Hines' investment thesis for Atlantic Yards was proven when Microsoft committed to the entire Atlantic Yards project on a long-term lease in spring 2020, during the height of the pandemic," said Tori Kerr, managing director at Hines. "It has been our distinct pleasure to expand our Atlanta relationship with Microsoft in a strategic partnership at Atlantic Yards, and we look forward to continuing to serve them as property manager post-sale to KKR."

Rihanna headlines Super Bowl 57 halftime show. What to know about the nine-time Grammy winner.
Victoria Hernandez, USA TODAY
While the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles take a break from shining bright like a diamond, Rihanna will be the Super Bowl 57 halftime show performer.
It's a show that's so exciting, at least one player is hoping to catch a glimpse.
The nine-time Grammy award-winner will perform a slew of hits with (or maybe without) some surprise guests. This will be her first public performance since 2018 when she performed DJ Khaled's "Wild Thoughts" at the Grammys.

In 2019, Rihanna said she rejected an invitation to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, citing a desire to support ostracized quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
But she's here now and ready to wow.
Who is Super Bowl halftime show performer Rihanna?
Rihanna is a global sensation who burst onto the scene when she signed to Def Jam in 2005 as a teenager. She has had 14 songs reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and has eight platinum albums.
Her last LP was 2016's "ANTI." She made a return to music this year as part of the "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" soundtrack with the song "Lift Me Up," which gave Rihanna her first Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.
Since releasing "ANTI," Rihanna has expanded her empire through her Fenty brands — Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty — both of which she has used to create products for and celebrate all skin tones, shapes and sizes.
In August 2021, she reached billionaire status.
Rihanna became a mother in May when she had a son with rapper and fashion mogul A$AP Rocky.
What are Rihanna's hit songs?
Among Rihanna's chart-topping songs is "We Found Love." It was the No. 1 song in the country for 10 weeks in 2011. Other top singles include "Rude Boy," "Love on the Brain," "Diamonds," "Needed Me" and "Work" featuring Drake. Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie," which she is featured on, is certified diamond. Her first smash hit was 2007's "Umbrella," which reigned at the top of the chart for seven weeks.

Before that, The Weeknd was the Super Bowl 55 halftime show performer and Jennifer Lopez and Shakira took center stage a year prior.
Other iconic Super Bowl halftime show performances include Lady Gaga, U2, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson and Prince.
Jay Z has served as a consultant for the NFL since 2019 as the league seeks to expand its cultural influence and support of social justice. Part of his role includes supervising the NFL's music ventures.

Joshua Hug wins 2023 UC Berkeley Distinguished Teaching Award
Professor Joshua Hug has won the University of California, Berkeley Distinguished Teaching Award. Presented by the Academic Senate, the Distinguished Teaching Award (DTA) is considered UC Berkeley’s most prestigious award for teaching. The DTA recognizes individual faculty “for sustained excellence in teaching.” Recipients are among the brightest teaching stars on campus, widely recognized for their inspiring and transformational teaching. The highly selective, multi-phase nomination process seeks teachers who incite intellectual curiosity and whose teaching has a life-long impact. Only 223 faculty have received the award since its inception in 1959, including several from Berkeley EECS. Hug is known for teaching CS 61B, an introductory computer science course on data structures that regularly enrolls over 1500 students each spring. DTA winners are frequently called upon by the campus community to provide a voice on issues related to teaching. They serve on forums, panels, and committees involving teaching issues, and they are advocates for excellence in teaching at Berkeley.

Hannah Joo receives Brooke Owens Fellowship
Hannah Joo, an undergraduate student studying computer science and cognitive science at Berkeley, has won a Brooke Owens Fellowship. Along with 47 undergraduate women and gender minorities from all over the world, Hannah will receive “space and aviation internships, senior mentorships, and a lifelong professional network.” In her freshman year, Hannah joined Space Enterprise at Berkeley, a student-run rocket team. With limited engineering and coding experience, she found her passion at the intersection of avionics and computer science, culminating in a summer internship with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory last year. Now in her 3rd-year, Hannah will intern with SpaceX. The Brooke Owens Fellowship was founded in 2016 to honor the memory of D. Brooke Owens, a beloved industry pioneer, and accomplished pilot, who passed away at age 35 after battling cancer.

EECS graduate students turn e-waste into art
EECS graduate students use leftover printed circuit boards (PCBs) to create art. The result is a beautiful Cal EECS bear in Berkeley blue, centered over the letters E-E-C-S in green, all made up of PCBs, on a towering six by seven plywood base held together by very-high-bond (VHB) double-sided tape. Rahul Iyer, an EECS Ph.D. student advised by EE Prof. Pilawa-Podgurski, had the idea over Thanksgiving break to make use of what would otherwise be e-waste. With the help of Rod Bayliss III, Maggie Blackwell, Sahana Krishnan and Nathan Brooks, all Ph.D. students advised by Pilawa, they set out to repurpose the leftover PCBs, first by printing the silhouette of the Cal bear on a mounting board, tracing the outline of the bear, and then using VHB to tape the PCBs onto the mounting board, filling in the outline. “It was a great bonding activity over Thanksgiving break, especially recollecting projects and past memories when we came across some of the boards,” said Rahul. “I’m so glad I had an opportunity to share in this creative endeavor with my peers. Looking forward to another project in a few years when we collect more PCBs!”
Berkeley EECS continues to compete in US News & World Report rankings
Once again Berkeley Electrical Engineering ranked #1, and Computer Engineering ranked #2, in the 2022 US News and World Report graduate school rankings. EE tied with MIT and Stanford as the top graduate Electrical/Electronic/Communications Engineering program in the nation, while Computer Engineering tied in second place with Stanford after MIT. The tuition for both Master’s programs at MIT and Stanford cost over $55.5K annually, while Berkeley's costs $11.4K in-state and $26.5 out-of-state per year. Berkeley was ranked as the third best Engineering school overall.

CS Kickstart thrives amid return to in-person outreach
Now in its 11th consecutive year, CS Kickstart held its one-week computer science immersion program earlier this month, ushering in over 95 attendees to the program, a record turnout. The program is designed to introduce female-identifying first-year students to computer science at Berkeley and aims to add more diversity to the field. Completely student-run, they host workshops in Python, web development, electrical engineering, and data science; panel discussions featuring current Ph.D. students and faculty speakers like CS Prof. John DeNero; field trips, like a community-building experience with the Oakland Athletics, and tours, panels, and Q&A sessions with industry partners, such as SAP Academy and Stitch Fix. “It was amazing to see CS Kickstart held in person again this year and with more students than in previous years!” said EECS Director of Student Diversity, Audrey Sillers.

Pieter Abbeel interviewed as Featured ACM Member
CS Prof. Pieter Abbeel has been interviewed as a Featured ACM Member. As part of the “People of ACM” bulletin, Abbeel details the groundbreaking work that led to his 2021 ACM Prize in Computing, and the direction of the field of AI and robotics in the warehousing industry and beyond. Given the different specializations required to pursue AI, he gives the following advice to the next generation of AI researchers: “In terms of foundations, basic mathematics such as calculus, probability, linear algebra are very important, and also optimization,” said Abbeel. “Taking physics classes can be very helpful, as it teaches you the skill of abstracting real world problem settings into equations." Prof. Abbeel is the director of the Berkeley Robot Learning Lab and co-director of the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) lab, in addition to Co-Founder, President, and Chief Scientist of Covariant, a Berkeley-based AI robotics company.

Gary May and Sheila Humphreys interviewed for Inside Higher Ed
EECS alumnus Gary S. May (M.S. '88/Ph.D. '91, advisor: Costas Spanos), the first Black chancellor of UC Davis, is the focus of an Inside Higher Ed story highlighting the unique bond between three Black Berkeley Engineering alumni in the 1980s, all of whom have gone on to lead top research institutions. Reggie DesRoches has become the president of Rice University, and Darryll Pines is the president of the University of Maryland, College Park. The three met at Berkeley where they studied different fields of engineering. The article describes the unique landscape of diversity in the era before Proposition 209, and interviewed EECS staff emerita, Sheila Humphreys for the story, who was then the EECS director of diversity, as well as Dean Liu who said this past academic year (2021-22) “is the first year that we ended up with a higher percentage [of undergraduate underrepresented minorities] then even before Prop 209.” In fostering the minority engineering programs (MEP) of the 1980s, Sheila attributes the "unwavering administrative support" of the late Dean Pister, and a "comprehensive, whole-student approach."

About Airline, Georgia
Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory, Australia. Situated on the Timor Sea, it is the smallest and most northerly of the Australian capital cities, and acts as the Top End's regional centre. Its popular waterfront area has several beaches and green areas like Bicentennial Park. Originally a pioneer outpost, the city itself is built on a low bluff overlooking the harbour. The Darwin region, like the rest of the Top End, has a tropical climate, with a wet and a dry season. The city is also noted for its consistently warm to hot climate, all throughout the year.
Tanjung Benoa
Benoa, on the Indonesian island of Bali, is a cruise port located closely to popular places like Nusa Dua, Sanur, Kuta and Denpasar.
Brisbane is the capital and most populous city in the Australian state of Queensland and the third most populous city in Australia. The city central business district stands on the original European settlement and is situated inside a bend of the Brisbane River, about 15 kilometres (9 miles) from its mouth at Moreton Bay. The metropolitan area extends in all directions along the floodplain of the Brisbane River Valley between Moreton Bay and the Great Dividing Range, sprawling across several of Australia's most populous local government areas (LGAs), most centrally the City of Brisbane, which is by far the most populous LGA in the nation. Its positive attitude and creative confidence makes Brisbane a genuine new-world city. Even though the city is rapidly developing and forward-thinking, it maintains a youthful enthusiasm and has what is arguably the most vibrant, laid back and friendliest atmosphere of any east-coast capital city. It is also an energetic river town on the way up, with an edgy arts scene, pumping nightlife, and great coffee and restaurants!
Cairns is a regional city in Far North Queensland, Australia. The city was named after William Wellington Cairns. It was formed to serve miners heading for the Hodgkinson River goldfield, but experienced a decline when an easier route was discovered from Port Douglas. It later developed into a railhead and major port for exporting sugar cane, gold and other metals, minerals and agricultural products from surrounding coastal areas and the Atherton Tableland region. Cairns is a popular travel destination for tourists because of its tropical climate and access to the Great Barrier Reef, one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

WASHINGTON — Yesterday, Representative Ronny Jackson (R-TX-13), Pete Sessions (R-TX-17), Abigail Spanberger (D-VA-07), and Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX-34) reintroduced the bipartisan, bicameral Foreign Adversary Risk Management (FARM) Act. This legislation would help protect America’s agricultural industry from malign foreign investors and bolster our supply chain by reforming the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)—the governmental body that oversees the vetting process of foreign investment and acquisition of American companies. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) introduced companion legislation in the U.S. Senate.
Jackson said: “Today, America faces numerous threats to its national security, and the agricultural industry is no exception. Our adversaries, especially the Chinese Communist Party, continue to increase their presence in America’s food industry and agricultural supply chains. Our national security is dependent on our food security, and we must take significant steps to identify adversaries that are manipulating critical facets of food production in our country. America’s agricultural industry must be considered when determining national security threats from foreign investments moving forward. The protection of our food supply and its overarching supply chains are essential for the continued prosperity of our nation. Together, we will ensure that America’s agricultural industry remains strong and independent from foreign adverse influence.”
Tuberville said: “Over the past few years, we’ve seen an alarming increase in foreign purchases of farm land and food companies, particularly by China. These foreign investments are now reaching every piece of the very large puzzle that makes up our agriculture industry, from farming and processing, to packaging and shipping. That’s why America’s agriculture community needs to have a permanent seat at the table when our government vets foreign investment in our country. Adding all parts of the agricultural supply chain to the list of transactions reviewed by CFIUS is the first step toward ensuring America’s agricultural suppliers can keep food on tables across the country.”
Gonzalez said: “Now more than ever, it is important to protect American supply chains. The FARM Act equips us to monitor foreign investment and protect the integrity of our food systems to ensure a food secure future for all Americans. I am proud to be joining my colleagues in a bipartisan manner to protect American agriculture and strengthen our food supply chain.”
Spanberger said: “Direct foreign investment in American agriculture and infrastructure has skyrocketed — and the Chinese Communist Party has driven much of this growth. In the face of significant foreign investment in American farmland, we need to recognize how foreign actors could pose potential threats to our economic strength, the competitiveness of our ag industry, and our national security. By bringing the voice of the Secretary of Agriculture to the table, our FARM Act would bring the concerns of farm families and producers to important conversations about the risks of foreign acquisitions and landholdings. As a Member of the House Agriculture Committee and a Member of Congress focused on threats to our national security, I’m proud to help introduce this bipartisan, commonsense legislation.”
Sessions said: “Foreign investment in the American agriculture industry continues to grow at a rapid pace. A large percentage of this land is owned by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) backed investments, which poses a large national security risk, as it affords China the opportunity to undermine our food and investment industries. The United States farmland is a critical piece of infrastructure and should continue to be recognized as such. Our food insecurity is a matter of national security. The FARM Act will give us the opportunity to better combat maligned foreign investments in agriculture and protect the American people. I am proud to stand next to my fellow members of Congress during this renewed effort to secure American interests.”
Texas Farm Bureau President Russell Boening said: “Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) applauds Sen. Tommy Tuberville and U.S. Congressman Ronny Jackson for introducing the FARM Act,” said TFB President Russell Boening. “As Texas has experienced a surge of foreign investors buying agricultural land, it is critical to provide proper oversight to ensure our national security. We are pleased this bill accomplishes this goal, while in-turn protecting private property rights of landowners who wish to sell their property. TFB appreciates these Congressional leaders for their steadfast leadership on this issue, and we look forward to working with them to secure passage of this bipartisan legislation.”
The bill text can be found here.
Foreign investment in the American agriculture industry has grown at a rapid and dangerous pace, as foreign investors currently control at least 37.6 million acres of agriculture land, valued at $67.7 billion. Texas has the largest amount of foreign-held agricultural land in the U.S. accounting for over 4.7 million acres.
The Communist Party has actively supported investments in foreign agriculture as part of its “One Belt One Road” economic development plans, which they have claimed is an effort to control a greater piece of their food supply chain. This investment has allowed them to develop a large presence in the American food system. This poses a large national security risk as it affords China the opportunity to undermine the entire industry, and it must be stopped.
This bill will help to combat foreign investment into, and interference of, the American agriculture industry by modernizing the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to ensure that we monitor this investment and understand the national security implications.
Specifically, this bill would reform CFIUS by:
· Ensuring CFIUS recognizes the agriculture industry and agriculture supply chains as critical infrastructure,
· Adds the Secretary of Agriculture to CFIUS, and
· Requires CFIUS to review any investment that could result in foreign control of any U.S. agricultural business
Additionally, the bill would require an annual investigation and report on the national security implications of foreign investment into the American agricultural sector by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to Congress, so that we better understand the position for which our agriculture industry stands.
Original cosponsors of the FARM Act include Representatives Jim Costa (D-CA), Jimmy Panetta (D-CA), Mary Miller (R-IL), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL), Rick Crawford (R-AR), Kat Cammack (R-FL), Kevin Hern (R-OK), Brian Babin (R-TX), August Pfluger (R-TX), Darrell Issa (R-CA), Zach Nunn (R-IA), James Baird (R-IN), Troy Nehls (R-TX), Dusty Johnson (R-SD), Chris Stewart (R-UT), Ryan Zinke (R-MT), Ben Cline (R-VA), Michael Guest (R-MS), Jerry Carl (R-AL), Barry Moore (R-AL), John Rose (R-TN), Jake Ellzey (R-TX), Randy Weber (R-TX), Ashley Hinson (R-IA), Pat Fallon (R-TX), James Moylan (R-GU), Brad Finstad (R-MN), Trent Kelly (R-MS), and Randy Feenstra (R-IA).
Original cosponsors in the Senate include Mike Braun (R-IN), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), and Rick Scott (R-FL).

Billie Eilish Documentary Announces Apple TV Plus Premiere Date
Categories: Celebrities News • News
Tags: #documentary • Apple TV • Billie Eilish • Documental
“Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry,” a new documentary about the “Bad Guy” singer and songwriter, will premiere in theaters and on Apple TV Plus in February 2021.
The film is directed by award-winning filmmaker R.J. Cutler, who previously turned his camera on the worlds of high fashion (“The September Issue”) and politics (“The War Room”). While Eilish is just 18 years old, the film has been in the works for several years: While embedded with the singer’s tour in October of 2019, a Variety reporter witnessed a film crew following the singer virtually everywhere, and was told the crew was working on an unspecified “documentary that hasn’t been announced yet”; reports of the Apple TV deal began to emerge last December. A source said the crew had been following Eilish for many months, possibly as far back as 2016.
Eilish’s debut album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” was released in 2019, going on to become the best-performing album of the year. It also swept the Grammys, picking up awards for Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album. Eilish will next be heard crooning the James Bond theme song “No Time To Die” in the upcoming 007 adventure of the same name.
Apple has lined up several buzzy projects since entering the streaming wars. The tech giant scored with the Jennifer Anniston and Reese Witherspoon series “The Morning Show” and had a popular hit with the Tom Hanks’ World War II drama “Greyhound.” Its upcoming releases include Sofia Coppola’s “On the Rocks” with Bill Murray and Rashida Jones and the Tom Holland drama “Cherry,” which it recently picked up for $40 million. In the documentary space, Apple TV Plus has released “Beastie Boys Story” and “Boys State.” The Eilish documentary is a snazzy “get” for the service as it is locked in a content arms race with Netflix and Disney Plus.
“Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry” is produced by Apple Original Films, in association with Interscope Films, Darkroom, This Machine and Lighthouse Management & Media.

HARRY SHEARER Releases Fifth Song In Donald Trump Series: “Alabama”

HARRY SHEARER
RELEASES FIFTH SONG IN DONALD TRUMP SERIES
You’re never out of my thoughts
Whether you sleep in King-Sized
Or on donated cots
That first rally started me on this incredible path
#DonaldTrumpSong
Today, HARRY SHEARER releases the fifth track in his Donald Trump song series, which runs with a song a week throughout this summer and autumn. “ALABAMA” is the latest addition to the cycle, which has the star of “The Simpsons” and “Spinal Tap” performing as Trump, singing about various aspects of the presidency to date. It follows the old-school R&B anthem to Jared Kushner “SON IN LAW”; the disco/plaintive folk number celebrating Trump’s consistent inconsistency in his approach to the pandemic “COVID-180“; “VERY STABLE GENIUS,” a low-power power-ballad, in which the Leader of the Free World vaunts his self-proclaimed intellectual prowess combined with his calm and balanced disposition; and “STORMY DANIELS,” a romantic ballad of passion, power and pay off.
“ALABAMA” is a southern rock style tribute to the southern state. A couple of hurricane seasons ago, the president showed a map of a predicted storm track, which included an addition: a Sharpie-drawn extension of the storm’s possible track to Alabama. A controversy ensued when the Weather Service disavowed the “Sharpie track.” Since the state was the site of the first rally of the 2016 Trump campaign, the song spotlights the special place Alabama appears to have in the President’s “heart.”
HARRY SHEARER says of “ALABAMA”: “The trouble with official hurricane forecast maps is that they don’t often include Sharpie additions. When it’s the state that gave your presidential campaign its kickoff, a Sharpie warning is the least you can do.”
With music and lyrics by Shearer, “ALABAMA” also has “The Simpsons” star on vocals as Donald Trump. He is joined by CJ Vanston on backing vocals, keyboard and other instruments, Howard Levy on harmonica, Mark Bonilla on guitar and Toss Panos on drums.It is released by Twanky Records.
HARRY SHEARER has vocally portrayed every U.S. president of his lifetime. Donald Trump is the third he has portrayed physically, having previously played Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan on screen.
The first song in the Donald Trump series, “SON IN LAW” was released on July 31. The song is an old-style New Orleans R&B number depicting Donald Trump in praise of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The video of the track uses ground-breaking motion-capture animation to portray the U.S. President lionizing his senior advisor and husband of his daughter Ivanka. At one point it shows the spookily real Trump with his hand casually hovering over the nuclear button on his desk in The Oval Office, whilst extolling the virtues of his daughter’s curves.“SON IN LAW” features New Orleans musicians David Torkanowsky of The Astral Project and Stanton Moore Trio on piano and organ, The Metres star George Porter, Jr. on bass, Raymond Weber of Dumpstaphunk on drums, leading saxophonist Brad Walker, Scott Frock of Delfeayo Marsalis’ Uptown Jazz Orchestra, on trumpet, and one of New Orleans’ top trombonists Jon Ramm. The track is mixed by long-time Harry Shearer musical collaborator C J Vanston at The Treehouse North Hollywood and produced by David Torkanowsky. The video was conceived and produced by Harry Shearer with Matt Hermans of The Electric Lens Company in Sydney, Australia. The On-Set Producer was Harry’s long-time collaborator, cinematographer Matthew Mindlin.
“COVID-180,” the second song, which was released on August 7, has “The Simpsons” and “Spinal Tap” star as the Trump, alternating stanzas of pumped-up disco and plaintive folk rock to represent the alternating “up” and “down” approaches taken to the pandemic by the president. “COVID-180” features SHEARER on vocals in an eerily accurate impersonation of the President of The United States. He is joined by Sharlotte Gibson and CJ Vanston on backing vocals, Marc Bonilla on guitar, Toss Panos on drums with CJ Vanston on piano, synths and all other instruments. “COVID-180” was mixed by CJ Vanston at The Treehouse, North Hollywood CA and mastered by Peter Doell at Aftermaster.
“VERY STABLE GENIUS,” the third song, which was released on August 14, is a low power power ballad, in which the Leader of the Free World vaunts his self-proclaimed intellectual prowess combined with his calm and balanced disposition. With vocals by Shearer as Trump, it has CJ Vanston on backing vocals, Marc Bonilla on guitar, Toss Panos on drums, with CJ Vanston on piano, synths and all other instruments.
The fourth song, “STORMY DANIELS,” released on August 21, is a soothing song of love and self-pity which has the current occupant of The White House praising his former amour’s ample assets whilst bemoaning how his own assets were wasted in buying her silence. Shearer‘s Trump is joined by CJ Vanston on piano, strings and bass and Greg Bisonette on drums. The trumpet and string arrangement is by CJ Vanston.
HARRY SHEARER says of the series of Trump themed songs, which will be released on a weekly basis over the next seven weeks:
“My Donald Trump is almost as eager for
continued public attention as the ‘real’ Trump.”
About Harry Shearer:
Actor…author…director…comedian…musician…political satirist…multi-media artist…radio personality…record company owner…and one of the best “voices” in the business (just ask “THE SIMPSONS”), HARRY SHEARER is a comic personality and modern-day renaissance man.
For the past three decades he has enjoyed enormous success and planted the fruits of his talents in the heads of millions worldwide thanks to his voice work for “THE SIMPSONS,” where he plays a stable of characters: most notably Mr. Burns, Smithers, and insufferable neighbour Ned Flanders.
Movie audiences will know SHEARER best for his collaborations with Christopher Guest and friends. The most famous of these is the granddaddy of all mock-umentaries, “THIS IS SPINAL TAP” (with Rob Reiner and Michael McKean). The film revealed the concepts of spontaneously combusting drummers and amps that go up to eleven. Spinal Tap–the band have enjoyed worldwide success performing live and in 2007 stole the show at the LIVE EARTH concert at Wembley, London. In 2009 Harry, Christopher and Michael reunited to tour an acoustic version of Spinal Tap songs as themselves in the UNWIGGED AND UNPLUGGED tour (which is available of DVD) and returned as Derek Smalls, Nigel Tufnel and David St. Hubbins to play Glastonbury and Wembley Arena with the volume turned up to eleven. Other Guest collaborations have included, “A MIGHTY WIND” and “FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.” In 2017 SHEARER appeared in the film “FATHER FIGURE,” with Glenn Close, Ed Helms and Owen Wilson.
Shearer’s other film credits include “REAL LIFE” (co-screenwriter), “THE RIGHT STUFF,” “PORTRAIT OF A WHITE MARRIAGE” (director), “THE FISHER KING,” “GODZILLA,” “THE TRUMAN SHOW,” “SMALL SOLDIERS” and “DICK.” He has been a regular cast member on “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE” twice and, In 2001, wrote and directed his first feature film, “TEDDY BEARS’ PICNIC,” a lightly fictionalized satire of the summer retreat of America’s financial and political elite. In 2010 SHEARER wrote and directed “The Big Uneasy,” a documentary feature about the investigations into the causes of the 2005 flooding of New Orleans. The film has been selected for numerous film festivals and has won multiple awards including The Golden Eagle Award and The Visionary Award at The DC Independent Film Festival.
In 2013 SHEARER created a ground-breaking TV comedy drama series based on real-life recordings from President Nixon’s Oval Office. Written by and starring SHEARER as Richard Nixon, “NIXON’S THE ONE” is made by one of the most respected and prolific UK TV production companies, Hat Trick and was broadcast to great acclaim on Sky Arts.
In 2014 he starred opposite Maureen Lipman in both the West End and on a national UK tour of Oliver Cotton’s acclaimed play “DAYTONA.”
HARRY SHEARER is also known for his bitingly satirical songs and impersonations. He was nominated for a Grammy for his CD SONGS POINTED AND POINTLESS. His album SONGS OF THE BUSHMEN (also Grammy nominated) was an incisive musical impeachment of the Bush administration with impersonations in song of the likes of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Colin Powell. In 2009 he released GREED & FEAR–a searing satirical attack on Wall Street in the wake of the world economic meltdown. In the autumn of 2012 he released CAN’T TAKE A HINT, an album of duets featuring the like of Jamie Cullum, Jane Lynch, Fountains of Wayne, Dr John, Rob Brydon and others. SHEARER‘s musical collaborations with his wife singer/songwriter Judith Owen led to the launch of Courgette Records (a nod to the infamous airport scene from THIS IS SPINAL TAP). SHEARER and Owen have recently returned from a critically acclaimed tour of Australia to debut THIS INFERNAL RACKET, a collaborative comedy and music exploration of fame, celebrity, politics, religion and relationships.
In July 2017, at a ceremony in Nashville, SHEARER was honoured by National Music Council with American Eagle Award in recognition of his contributions to American and Global Musical Culture as a Writer, Humorist, Musician, Composer, Social Commentator and tireless advocate for the rights and fair treatment of Music Creators in the United States and throughout the World.
In 2015 Shearer wrote and presented the BBC Radio 4 documentary, NEW ORLEANS–THE CRESCENT AND THE SHADOW, which was broadcast to mark the tenth anniversary of the flooding of the city that took place following Hurricane Katrina.
A child of Hollywood, Shearer made guest appearances on a variety of A-list television series while still in his teens. Credits include “THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM,” “GENERAL ELECTRIC THEATRE” and “ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS.” He was cast and appeared in the pilot of “LEAVE IT TO BEAVER” as the original Eddie Haskell. His parents, not realizing that the show could be picked up were horrified when it was and removed him so he could attend school.
He attended UCLA as a political science major, where he edited and wrote for the school humor magazine. He pursued graduate work at Harvard University and served a political internship in Sacramento before turning to freelance journalism, most notably covering the Watts riots for Newsweek. In 1968, Shearer auditioned for a satirical news team at KRLA-AM called The Credibility Gap. The crew developed a fanatical following, engaging in guerrilla comedy actions like alternative live running commentaries to the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena. The classic Gap lineup including Shearer, future band mate Michael McKean, David Lander, and Richard Beebe began to play local clubs and eventually recorded a number of hilarious – and now scarce–albums, including A GREAT GIFT IDEA, THE BRONZE AGE OF RADIO and FLOATS.
SHEARER collaborated with writer Tom Leopold and composer Peter Matz to create the book and lyrics for an original musical film about J.Edgar Hoover titled “HERE COMES J EDGAR” now in development.
A published novelist (NOT ENOUGH INDIANS), exhibited artist (TELETHESIA at the Fullerton Museum Center and WALL OF SILENCE at MOCA) and celebrated broadcaster (his satirical sandbox LE SHOW, which has recently celebrated its 35th anniversary, is heard weekly on stations around the world), SHEARER is a multi-talented entertainer, artist and communicator. His writing has been published in, among other periodicals, the New York Times, Film Comment, and the New York Review of Books.
His good friend and colleague, Derek Smalls, recently released his first solo record since the dissolution of Spinal Tap, SMALLS CHANGE (MEDITATIONS ON AGING). The record features guest performances by the cream of rock artists (Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Donald Fagen, David Crosby, Rick Wakeman among many others). The live show supporting the record LUKEWARM WATER LIVE received its world premiere in New Orleans 2018, featuring the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra and was followed by a special concert 2019 which featured an array of guest talent including, Steve Vai, Steve Lukather, Dweezil Zappa, Paul Shaffer and Tenacious D (Jack Black, Kyle Gass) as well as live link ups with Donald Fagen, Jane Lynch, The Snarky Puppy Horns and The Budapest Symphony Orchestra. In November this year, Derek staged LUKEWARM WATER LIVE at The Wiltern Los Angeles in a live concert that featured Billy Idol, Steve Lukather, Waddy Wachtel, Dweezil Zappa, Paul Shaffer and Judith Owen as well as live link up performances from a star-studded list that included keyboard legend Rick Wakeman.
Twanky Records was co-founded by Harry Shearer and Judith Owen in 2013 as the recording label to release their personal recording projects. The company has since established itself globally with local representation in over twenty countries and distribution via Absolute Label Services alongside Amped/Alliance/AWAL for USA and Canada. Judith Owen’s internationally critically acclaimed that have been released under the label comprise Ebb & Flow (2014) – “One of the albums of the year” – The Independent – UK, Somebody’s Child (2016) and redisCOVERed (2018) – both “Top 100 Albums Of The Year” The Sunday Times – UK.

Interweaving vintage newsreels, stock footage and home movies with scenes depicting events surrounding the birth of the civil rights movement, this made-for-cable drama recounts the story behind the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott of 1955. Iris Little-Thomas plays Rosa Parks, the black seamstress whose refusal to sit at the back a bus kindles the flames of protest, and Jeffrey Wright delivers an inspired performance as the young Martin Luther King.
Jeffrey Wright, Terrence Howard, CCH Pounder, Carmen Ejogo, Reg E. Cathey, Iris Little-Thomas, Brent Jennings, Clark Johnson, Mike Hodges, Danny Nelson

PG - Some material may not be suitable for children. Parents urged to give parental guidance. May contain some material parents might not like for their young children.
Parents need to know that this movie deals with the civil rights movement and segregation in the American South. While not as violent as actual footage from the movement, there are some scary images including fire bombings and arrests as well as a general undercurrent of fear. There is also racial name-calling and stereotypes.
Kisses, hugs, and cuddling between man and wife. People dance close in a nightclub. A man describes himself as a homosexual.
Scary images of people being arrested, homes firebombed; a woman flashbacks to a man's body hanging from a tree after he is lynched. A man receives threatening phone calls.
Some racial language and a few swear words.
The message of nonviolence, equal rights, and humane treatment for all prevails over discrimination, hatred, and acts of violence.
Adults are shown smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol. | 2023-14/0004/en_head.json.gz/25260 | {"url": "https://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/Boycott/60020843", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "dvd.netflix.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:09:03Z", "digest": "sha1:RYJNEQIWKZRIA2HXBV2WBPPBWBADRWYC"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1828, 1828.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1828, 3126.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1828, 13.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1828, 83.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1828, 0.91]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1828, 299.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1828, 0.27272727]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1828, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1828, 0.01078894]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1828, 0.01888065]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1828, 0.02966959]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1828, 0.02272727]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1828, 0.18465909]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1828, 0.68551237]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1828, 5.24028269]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1828, 5.02337017]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1828, 283.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 470, 1.0], [470, 622, 0.0], [622, 687, 0.0], [687, 722, 0.0], [722, 803, 0.0], [803, 972, 1.0], [972, 1301, 1.0], [1301, 1426, 1.0], [1426, 1599, 1.0], [1599, 1643, 1.0], [1643, 1774, 1.0], [1774, 1828, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 470, 0.0], [470, 622, 0.0], [622, 687, 0.0], [687, 722, 0.0], [722, 803, 0.0], [803, 972, 0.0], [972, 1301, 0.0], [1301, 1426, 0.0], [1426, 1599, 0.0], [1599, 1643, 0.0], [1643, 1774, 0.0], [1774, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 19, 5.0], [19, 470, 69.0], [470, 622, 21.0], [622, 687, 7.0], [687, 722, 4.0], [722, 803, 11.0], [803, 972, 27.0], [972, 1301, 54.0], [1301, 1426, 21.0], [1426, 1599, 29.0], [1599, 1643, 8.0], [1643, 1774, 19.0], [1774, 1828, 8.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.38888889], [19, 470, 0.00913242], [470, 622, 0.0], [622, 687, 0.0], [687, 722, 0.0], [722, 803, 0.05479452], [803, 972, 0.0], [972, 1301, 0.0], [1301, 1426, 0.0], [1426, 1599, 0.0], [1599, 1643, 0.0], [1643, 1774, 0.0], [1774, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 470, 0.0], [470, 622, 0.0], [622, 687, 0.0], [687, 722, 0.0], [722, 803, 0.0], [803, 972, 0.0], [972, 1301, 0.0], [1301, 1426, 0.0], [1426, 1599, 0.0], [1599, 1643, 0.0], [1643, 1774, 0.0], [1774, 1828, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.26315789], [19, 470, 0.02882483], [470, 622, 0.15789474], [622, 687, 0.16923077], [687, 722, 0.11428571], [722, 803, 0.11111111], [803, 972, 0.0295858], [972, 1301, 0.01519757], [1301, 1426, 0.024], [1426, 1599, 0.01156069], [1599, 1643, 0.02272727], [1643, 1774, 0.00763359], [1774, 1828, 0.01851852]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1828, 0.79544061]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1828, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1828, 0.33322299]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1828, -38.50195305]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1828, 7.632734]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1828, 20.55863702]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1828, 20.0]]} |
Mozambique has experienced heavy flooding this year, the worst since 2000. Areas heaviest hit are in the Limpopo River Basin and Northern Province of Nampula. According to the National Disaster Management Institute, more than 200,000 people have been affected, 135 lives lost and 2,000 homes destroyed, ultimately leaving thousands of families homeless. The province of Gaza has seen the worst of the flooding with more than 150,000 people displaced. Additionally, the Maputo Municipality estimates damage to infrastructure at US$29 million; mostly to housing and drainage.
Surge aftersurge of flood waters along the Limpopo River completely submerged the city of Chokwe and kept residents in temporary shelters even though a partial clean-up of the city began when flood waters receded briefly in between storms. The government deployed military units to rescue and assist populations at risk, sometimes airlifting trapped residents by helicopter. Even the provincial capital city of Xai-Xai was not spared and farmers in low lying areas experienced heavy crop damage. Many people were forced to move to higher ground. To complicate matters, key power lines were also damaged reducing the power supply exports to South Africa from 1,500 megawatts to 650 Megawatts.
A full 58 percent of the population of Mozambique is at risk of water related hazards. Furthermore, it is estimated that GDP growth is reduced by 1.1 percent annually (US$105 million) due to flooding. It is the third most vulnerable GDP (to disasters) in Africa and is partly due to the country sharing nine river basins with neighboring countries. The below video highlights just how vulnerable the country remains to massive flood events with before and after images of the flood affected areas.
Government and Donor Response
The Government of Mozambique led the response effort and due to the large scale of the disaster, requested assistance from all national and international humanitarian partners in accordance with the National Contingency Plan for the Rain and Cyclone Season of 2012-2013.The local Red Cross also continued its work reducing the risk of waterborne diseases through the use of sanitation equipment in all affected areas. Additionally, the Humanitarian Country Team composed of United Nations agencies and civil society organizations worked closely with local authorities conducting assessments, analyzing and pre-positioning key non-food item stocks in strategic locations.
Following a Response Proposal to the international community seeking US$30.6 million, the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund disbursed US$5.13 million to United Nations agencies to aid in the response.

World Bank and GFDRR Response
A quick response Disaster Risk Management team was immediately deployed following the flooding to assist the Government in assessing post disaster needs and formulating an implementable recovery plan. Based on initial consultations, recommended areas of focus for a potential quick response were transportation, health, education, housing, urban planning and disaster risk reduction. At the request of the Government, the World Bank will continue to work very closely with Disaster Risk Management authorities to better assist with recovery and reconstruction needs.
As part of an ongoing grant from the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) and funds from the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience and the International Development Association, the World Bank is already supporting Mozambique with extensive interventions in disaster risk management and climate change adaptation. Technical assistance includes a detailed remote sensing technique survey in critically affected areas which helps to provide early warning. The rehabilitation of two early warning radar systems in the areas of Beira and Inhambane are also considered to be essential for improved flood warnings. This is coupled with assistance to the national hydro-meteorological network.

Rajiv Awas Yojana
June 20, 2022 April 18, 2022 Stuti Patni
The national government started the Rajiv Awas Yojana with the goal of making India slum-free. It is a Central Sector Scheme, also known as the Rajiv Housing Scheme, that aims to offer basic social amenities, basic shelter, and civic infrastructure to every resident.
The Rajiv Awas Yojana initiative encourages all states and union territories to formally manage slums so that residents of their particular states and UTs have access to essential services.
The Rajiv Gandhi Awas Yojana also seeks to give low-cost housing to the urban poor. As a result, they have begun to implement critical reforms in the relevant policies.
This scheme has a clear goal, which includes –
Introducing measures to address the causes of slum formation.
Housing, civic structure, and social amenities in intervention slums are being improved.
Empowering the community through ensuring participation at all levels of decision-making while developing Slum Dwellers’ Associations/Federations.
Create a resource network to develop strategies for increasing institutional and human resources at the city, state, and municipal levels.
Creating a favourable climate for the provision of formal credit to the urban poor.
The Rajiv Awas Yojana Housing Scheme adheres to a set of principles that encompass the scope, coverage, implementation method, changes, government support, monitoring mechanisms, administrative and implementation structure, and so on.
Aside from this, several operational guidelines have been issued to handle various issues, such as –
Participation in the Community
Audits of Social Behavior
Slum-free City Project Management Plan of Action Assurance Manual Capacity Building
The Rajiv Awas Yojana’s features and benefits are detailed below :
The Rajiv Gandhi Housing Yojana employs two methodologies for execution. These include the development of a slum-free city plan and the development of projects for selected slums.
States/UTs/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)/Central Government Agencies are eligible for financial support under this plan.
Furthermore, the Affordable Housing in Partnership scheme, which is part of the Rajiv Awas Yojana, provides financial assistance for the creation of affordable housing stock through public-private partnerships.
The Central Government gives financial support of $75,000 per Economically Weaker Section/Low Income Group for Dwelling Units of 21 to 40 sq. mt. under Affordable Housing in Partnership.
There is no such type in the Rajiv Gandhi Awas Yojana Scheme. However, Rajiv Awas Yojana can be divided into three groups based on finance. This city segregation is based on population data from the 2011 census.
A: Individuals living in cities or urban agglomerations with a population of 5 lakhs or more are included.
B: Individuals residing in cities or urban agglomerations having a population of less than 5 lakh are included
C: Individuals living in cities or urban agglomerations in the North Eastern Region, as well as special category states (Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand).
According to this, category A will receive money up to a maximum of 5 lakh. Similarly, categories B and C will receive 4 lakh and 5 lakh, respectively.
This scheme is open to all of the recipients indicated in the previous section.
This system also includes rental and housing options.
Affordable Housing in Partnership, a component of Rajiv Awas Yojana, is available for projects with a minimum of 250 dwelling units (DUs).

Vitamin D for Colon Health
Several studies have shown that people who have higher levels of serum vitamin D have lower rates of colorectal cancer.
Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that aids in the absorption of nutrients, promotes immune function, and maintains cell communication throughout the body. While vitamin D can be obtained from certain foods, it is also produced naturally when the body is exposed to sunlight.
Vitamin D was first identified as a potential preventive agent for colorectal cancer over twenty years ago. Researchers observed that individuals in the northern and northeastern United States had significantly higher mortality rates from colorectal cancer than those who lived in Hawaii, Florida and southwestern states. These figures were directly correlated with individuals’ serum vitamin D levels.
A more recent meta-analysis, which included data from five observational studies, found that increasing serum vitamin D levels to 34 ng/ml could reduce colorectal cancer incidence rates by half. Increasing serum vitamin D levels even higher produced greater colorectal cancer preventive benefits. Lead researcher Edward Gorham, Ph.D. explained, “We project a two-thirds reduction in incidence with serum levels of 46 ng/ml, which corresponds to a daily intake of 2,000 IU of vitamin D3. This would be best achieved with a combination of diet, supplements and 10 to 15 minutes per day in the sun” (Source: Johns Hopkins Medicine).
Experts vary in their recommendations for daily vitamin D allowance. However, current guidelines by The Institute of Medicine recommend 600 IU daily for adults between the ages of 19 and 70. Adults over the age of 70 need 800 IU daily.
To meet your daily recommended intake of vitamin D, try to spend at least a few minutes outside soaking up the sun’s rays. Vitamin D production can vary based on season, location, weather conditions, skin tone, and sunscreen use, but estimates show that just 10 to 15 minutes of sun exposure to the arms and legs can produce 3,000 to 20,000 IU of vitamin D (Source: sunshinevitamin.org). You can also increase your vitamin D intake by consuming foods that are naturally rich in this nutrient. These include:
Fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, and sardines

Caroline Raynaud
Caroline Raynaud is one of France's most promising young actresses. She was born in Orléans, has worked in across the world, and is now sharing time between Paris, New York, and Toronto.
She was discovered in a pub on the Champs-Élysées. While serving drinks to pay down nursing school bills, director Olivier Dahan noticed her manner and immediately cast her in La Môme (2007). She played the character Ginou, best friend of Edith Piaf, alongside Marion Cotillard.
Her first performance was at the age of 10, where she played Viola in an interpretation of Twelfth Night. Since then Raynaud has shown her range in a variety of genres, deftly moving between French and English speaking roles.
She played Alexia, the daughter-in-law of Michèle Laroque, in The Merry Widow/Enfin Veuve (2008), directed by Isabelle Mergault; Paule Fétiveau, a nurse in the Beaune La Rolande concentration camp, alongside Mélanie Laurent and Jean Reno in La Rafle (2010), directed by Rose Bosch; and Juliette with Nicolas Duvauchelle in la blonde aux seins nus (2010), directed by Manuel Pradal.
Raynaud played the lead and only role in Stardust (2011), an experimental gore movie directed by Sandy Depretz and shot in Finland. It is the story of a woman who hears voices and goes to Finland to escape herself.
She has worked on one movie and two short films with director Guillaume Levil, including on Tour de Cheville (2014), which has been selected for more than 70 festivals and 15 prizes.
Her first Canadian production Fishing in the Moonlight (2016) was awarded best short film at the 2017 Cannes short film festival. Produced by Jason Jallet and directed by Christian Monnier, it is the story of Marion, a French girl who crosses the ocean to get married in the snow.
She is a zombie killer in The Last Zombie (2017), a zombie reality show directed by Anthony Lecomte which has been screened around the world at 38 festivals, and has garnered more than 10 prizes.
In 2017 she was cast as the lead character Alex, in the Canadian horror sci-fi feature Project Ithaca (2019), directed by Nicholas Humphries. She will also be Lise in the French feature film Moi et le Che (2018), directed by Patrice Gautier, with Patrick Chesnais.
More recently, she played Brigitte Abernathy in the psychological thriller The Boathouse (2021) directed by Hannah Cheesman. She was also cast in the feature film The Baker (post-production), playing alongside Ron Perlman (HellBoy), directed by Jonathan Sobol and in Some Other Woman (post-production), directed by Joel David Moore.
Coming soon, "Les liaisons dangereuses: Correspondances inédites" a webcast produced by The French Theatre of Toronto, where she is La marquise de Merteuil.
Outside of her acting, Raynaud enjoys singing in the shower (mezzo soprano) and painting. She is not a vegetarian, enjoys a dedicated yoga practice and frequently vacations at the seaside village where she spent her childhood summers.

William H. Carlson Papers, 1924-1981
These papers document the career and research endeavors of William H. Carlson, University Librarian of OSU from 1945 to 1965.
Carlson, William Hugh (1898-)
ID: MSS Carlson
Extent: 3.45 cubic feet
Subjects addressed in the correspondence include the publication of Carlson's articles and studies, employment possibilities as a university librarian, involvement in the Pacific Northwest Library Association Reorganization Committee, sabbatical leave plans, and Carlson's receipt of a Carnegie Fellowship Award. Carlson's research and lecture notes were generated in the course of formulating articles, speeches, books, and courses in library science which were taught in the summer of 1938 at the University of California at Berkeley. Class notes from Carlson's graduate course work in library science are also included in this series. The reports and studies pertain to institutional and university library resources and services. Carlson was involved as a researcher, author, and consultant in these reports. This series also includes completed surveys and informational materials assembled in the process of research.
The speeches delivered by Carlson to library schools, library association conferences, and local fraternal clubs and churches cover the subjects of library management, religion, and books. Series V contains draft copies and reprints of Carlson's articles and book reviews published in journals, magazines, and an encyclopedia. The subject of these articles primarily relate to library subjects and Scandinavian studies. This series also includes reprints of articles collected by Carlson that mostly pertain to library topics such as international libraries, library special collections, and the library profession. The publications consist of library staff newsletters, library journals, magazines, annual reports, book collection guides, and conference proceedings, and relate to various library topics, Scandinavian studies, and U. S. History.
The pamphlet materials and brochures relate primarily to university libraries, including dedications of new library buildings, university library handbooks/guides, and brochures for library furniture. The two book drafts are: In a Grand and Awful Time: Essays from the Librarian's Desk on 20th Century Man and His Books and The Library of OSU: Its Origins, Management, and Growth. A Centennial History. The book, The Development and Financial Support of Seven Northwestern and Western State University Libraries, was the product of a study Carlson conducted and submitted to the University of California School of Librarianship and which was funded in part by a American Library Association Carnegie Fellowship. The newspaper clippings pertain to Carlson and his post at the OSU Library, dedications of other university libraries, the University of California Berkeley student free-speech movement, and state legislation relating to correctional facilities. The photographs, primarily B&W prints and color slides, depict the Dodgen family and other friends/relatives, the OSU Library and other university and public libraries, and Carlson in portrait shots.
An addition to the Carlson Papers (Accession 2008:067) is made up of two sets of floor plans that reflect Carlson's involvement in the planning of the OSU Library expansion that added two floors to the building in 1971. Both plans depict the Library at the University of Montana, with one of the sets machine copied and the other hand drawn in pencil. Both sets contain annotations and markings made by Carlson.
William H. Carlson served as the University Librarian of OSU from 1945 to 1965. Born in 1898 in Waverly, Nebraska, William Carlson graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1924 with a degree in Journalism. As a student, Carlson's employment in the Nebraska Legislative Reference Bureau Library sparked an interest in a career in library work. Pursuing this interest, Carlson earned a certificate from the New York State Library School in 1926 and later graduated with a Master's degree in Librarianship from the University of California at Berkeley in 1937. Before his appointment as Director of the Libraries for the Oregon State System of Higher Education and OSU Librarian in 1945, Carlson worked in several college and university libraries, including: the University of Iowa, University of North Dakota, Vanderbilt University, the University of Arizona, and the University of Washington. Active in research on library topics, Carlson published a number of articles and reviews on contemporary topics in library science such as post-war library planning and resources in Western libraries. Carlson also pursued an interest in Scandinavian studies, owing partly to his own Swedish ancestry. The Kerr Library was constructed in 1963 during Carlson's tenure as OSU Librarian. Retiring from the OSU Library in 1965, Carlson continued to be involved in library research, serving as a consultant on a survey of Oregon Institutional Libraries from 1966 to 1967. Carlson also completed a history of the OSU Library during his retirement, which was later submitted to The Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science in 1977. Carlson died in Corvallis in 1990.
The William H. Carlson Papers are organized into eleven series: I. Correspondence; II. Research and Lecture Notes; III. Reports and Studies; IV. Speeches; V. Articles; VI. Publications; VII. Brochures/Pamphlets/Handbooks; VIII. Book Drafts; IX. Book; X. Newspaper Clippings; and XI. Photographs.

Jeanerette Accident Injury Attorney
Jeanerette is a city in Iberia Parish, Louisiana. Known as “Sugar City”, it had a population of 5,548 at the 2013 census, a decrease from the 2000 tabulation of 5,997. It is two thirds African American.
Jeanerette is part of the New Iberia Micropolitan Statistical Area.
The town derived its name from John W. Jeanerette, a native of South Carolina who went to the area in the 1820s. First he worked as a tutor for a planter’s family, as did numerous educated young adults from northern states, then opened a store and saloon. Having saved some money, about 1830 Jeanerette purchased Pine Grove Plantation, formerly known as Beau Pré (meaning Lovely Meadow/pasture).
Jeanerette was incorporated as a town in 1878 and Joseph E. Provost became the first mayor; its economy was based on the cypress lumber and sugar industries. Its nickname has been “Sugar City”. Although its major growth was after the Civil War, it has some surviving antebellum houses in the city and region.
Sugarcane continues as a key factor in the economy, with three active sugar mills, one of which was located within the city until it was closed, dismantled, and its equipment sold in the first decade of the 21st century. Jeanerette is the home of manufacturers of equipment for the cultivation, harvesting and processing of sugarcane.

“I’m not trying to make a comprehensive history of utopia or an academic analysis of why this an anti-utopian time. I’m using the different stories to tease out, in more of an emotional way, ideas about hope and imagination of the future.”

GINNY, A SMASHING WORLD CHAMP (1983)
The two page color magazine ad for Virginia Slims tennis comes from the Dec. 1982 / Jan. 1983 issue of Sports Illustrated. Newspapers were used to advertise the local matches. A $100 box seat ticket that was good for all sessions at the Oakland Coliseum during February 1983, came with free parking. The Philip Morris Company’s early sponsorship of women’s tennis helped assure today’s American women an equal opportunity in sports.
IN 1989, MS. VIRGINIA NEEDED A LITTLE HELP (1975-1993)
The attractive women who modeled for Virginia Slims weren’t always successful in introducing new line extensions. Virginia Slims Ovals were unsuccessfully test marketed in Rochester, Las Vegas, and Birmingham beginning June 1984. Another short lived idea was to package VS in a supposedly convenient ten pack. In October 1975 Philip Morris was the first manufacturer to extend the 120mm length to a major brand. Virginia Slims 120’s were tested in Fresno, California, but withdrawn when sales failed to meet expectations. It wasn’t until 1985 that super long Virginia Slims Lights 120’s were found acceptable. One VS line extension brought out in the late 1980s was smiled upon by women, but scorned by a competing manufacturer. Philip Morris launched Superslims from Virginia Slims beginning October 1989. The Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation had been selling super thin Capri since January 1987, and frowned when another skinny smoke was introduced. That same year I received a letter from a lawyer with a NYC law firm that was representing Philip Morris. I was asked if there had been any cigarettes made before 1987 that had a very, very small diameter. Did you know that Benson & Hedges marketed Russian No. 3 cigarettes during the 1930’s with a smaller diameter than Capri?

In 1968, Philip Morris marketed Virginia Slims cigarettes to women with an advertising strategy showing canny insight into the importance of the emerging women’s movement. The slogan “You’ve come a long way, Baby” later gave way to “It’s a woman thing” in the mid-1990s, and more recently the “Find your voice” campaign featuring women of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. The underlying message of these campaigns has been that smoking is related to women’s freedom, emancipation, and empowerment.

VIRGINIA SLIMS PRESENTS, CAROL ALT (1987—1989)
Beautiful Carol Alt was one of the women that Virginia Slims Cigarettes featured in their ads during the late 1980s. The classic “You’ve come a long way, baby” advertising campaign didn’t mention or list the different model’s names, and Ms. Alt felt that she personally wasn’t endorsing the product because she hadn’t been identified. Even though Carol Alt was a smoker, she refused to pose for any future Virginia Slims ads when she realized that her picture alone was recognition enough for some of her fans to feel that she was endorsing cigarettes. This decision cost her hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost wages.

YOU’VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY (1968—1986)
Just as the feminism movement hit in the late 1960’s, The Philip Morris Company introduced San Francisco Bay Area women to a new ‘women’s only’ cigarette. The Leo Burnett Advertising Agency of Chicago produced a series of tongue-in-cheek magazine ads for Virginia Slims that playfully pitted men against women. Phony sepia-toned photos, picturing the sorry lot of a circa 1900’s woman, were juxtaposed against color photographs of a far happier modern woman wearing stylish contemporary clothing. The test market began July 30, 1968, then expanded to all fifty states just 28 days later. By 1969, the first full year of Virginia Slims national distribution, sales were a very respectable .9 percent. American women now had a cigarette they could call their own. | 2023-14/0005/en_head.json.gz/2784 | {"url": "https://www.euro-cig.com/id_cap_89/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.euro-cig.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:53:24Z", "digest": "sha1:II3C3TSAQXDUNGDWB3ZCJBYBR6UMR474"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4291, 4291.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4291, 7077.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4291, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4291, 131.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4291, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4291, 233.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4291, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4291, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4291, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4291, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4291, 0.29446408]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4291, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4291, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4291, 0.01366743]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4291, 0.01366743]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4291, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4291, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4291, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4291, 0.04441913]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4291, 0.01366743]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4291, 0.01025057]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4291, 0.03651355]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4291, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4291, 0.19552415]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4291, 0.58050222]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4291, 5.18759232]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4291, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4291, 5.52482236]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4291, 677.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 37, 0.0], [37, 470, 1.0], [470, 525, 0.0], [525, 1811, 1.0], [1811, 1841, 0.0], [1841, 2345, 1.0], [2345, 2392, 0.0], [2392, 2571, 0.0], [2571, 2618, 0.0], [2618, 3242, 1.0], [3242, 3285, 0.0], [3285, 3489, 0.0], [3489, 3530, 0.0], [3530, 4291, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 37, 0.0], [37, 470, 0.0], [470, 525, 0.0], [525, 1811, 0.0], [1811, 1841, 0.0], [1841, 2345, 0.0], [2345, 2392, 0.0], [2392, 2571, 0.0], [2571, 2618, 0.0], [2618, 3242, 0.0], [3242, 3285, 0.0], [3285, 3489, 0.0], [3489, 3530, 0.0], [3530, 4291, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 37, 6.0], [37, 470, 70.0], [470, 525, 9.0], [525, 1811, 206.0], [1811, 1841, 4.0], [1841, 2345, 78.0], [2345, 2392, 6.0], [2392, 2571, 24.0], [2571, 2618, 6.0], [2618, 3242, 105.0], [3242, 3285, 5.0], [3285, 3489, 29.0], [3489, 3530, 7.0], [3530, 4291, 122.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 37, 0.12121212], [37, 470, 0.03554502], [470, 525, 0.24489796], [525, 1811, 0.0333069], [1811, 1841, 0.0], [1841, 2345, 0.01619433], [2345, 2392, 0.0], [2392, 2571, 0.0], [2571, 2618, 0.18604651], [2618, 3242, 0.00650407], [3242, 3285, 0.0], [3285, 3489, 0.0], [3489, 3530, 0.21621622], [3530, 4291, 0.02822581]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 37, 0.0], [37, 470, 0.0], [470, 525, 0.0], [525, 1811, 0.0], [1811, 1841, 0.0], [1841, 2345, 0.0], [2345, 2392, 0.0], [2392, 2571, 0.0], [2571, 2618, 0.0], [2618, 3242, 0.0], [3242, 3285, 0.0], [3285, 3489, 0.0], [3489, 3530, 0.0], [3530, 4291, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 37, 0.64864865], [37, 470, 0.03926097], [470, 525, 0.52727273], [525, 1811, 0.04354588], [1811, 1841, 0.06666667], [1841, 2345, 0.0218254], [2345, 2392, 0.04255319], [2392, 2571, 0.04469274], [2571, 2618, 0.61702128], [2618, 3242, 0.02564103], [3242, 3285, 0.02325581], [3285, 3489, 0.04411765], [3489, 3530, 0.51219512], [3530, 4291, 0.03153745]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4291, 0.67304426]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4291, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4291, 0.71431082]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4291, -296.94170558]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4291, 53.36175645]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4291, -126.88900852]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4291, 39.0]]} |

‘I Need to Know: The Lost Music Interviews’ out now
ST. PETERSBURG, FL – St. Petersburg Press has published I Need to Know: The Lost Music Interviews, an anthology by longtime Florida journalist and author Bill DeYoung.
I Need to Know includes 23 revealing conversations with seminal music artists including Tom Petty (four lengthy interviews conducted between 1985 and 1993), Beatles producer Sir George Martin, Neil Young, Merle Haggard, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Bo Diddley and others.
The majority of the in-depth interviews have never been published in their entirety. They were conducted for various newspaper stories – which utilized a few quotes here and there – or for the international music magazine Goldmine.
“These lost-and-found interviews don’t just form an important historical document; they’re also a trove of musical and personal insights into important artists of our time,” said John Capouya, author of the acclaimed Florida Soul: From Ray Charles to KC and the Sunshine Band. “DeYoung’s subjects – partners, really – clearly know and trust him, so they offer deeper and less guarded responses then we’re used to seeing in music journalism. Highly recommended.’’

In I Need to Know, Petty talks in detail about the formation of the Traveling Wilburys, what he learned from Bob Dylan and the creation of the albums Southern Accents, Let Me Up I’ve Had Enough and Full Moon Fever; Martin reveals which songs he would have preferred the Beatles left off the White Album; Young explains his passion for Farm Aid, and his reasons for skipping Buffalo Springfield’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; Haggard explains what led him to pen the controversial “Okie from Muskogee.”
Ronstadt confesses her disdain for many of her biggest hits. “Sometimes,” she says, “they just flat out bored me until I was cross-eyed.”
As a bonus, the book includes never-before-published conversations with acting legends Gregory Peck and Robert Duvall.
A native of St. Petersburg, Bill DeYoung was Arts and Entertainment Editor of the Gainesville Sun for 20 years, before moving on to publications in South Florida and Savannah, Georgia. The author of the Florida-centric books Skyway: The True Story of Tampa Bay’s Signature Bridge and the Man Who Brought it Down and Phil Gernhard Record Man, he currently writes and edits the Culture section of the St. Pete Catalyst. DeYoung is one of the interview subjects in the forthcoming documentary film The Skyway Bridge Disaster.
I Need to Know includes conversations with:
Tom Petty, Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Seals & Crofts, George Martin, Mary Hopkin, Emmylou Harris, Merle Haggard, Dave Mason, Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash, Linda Ronstadt, the Bangles, Guy & Susanna Clark, Bo Diddley, Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson and Martin Barre, Robert Duvall, Gregory Peck.

BrightSource Energy Has Raised More than $80 Million of Extra Equity Financing
James Ayre
One of the global leaders in concentrating solar thermal technology, BrightSource Energy, has now raised another $80 million dollars in additional equity financing. Its total equity financing now totals more than $615 million, opening up many possibilities for the company to significantly expand and grow.
“BrightSource’s unique technology combines the scale, robustness and stability of conventional power plants with the attractive low-carbon profile of using a solar feedstock,” noted Stephan Dolezalek, Managing Director at VantagePoint. “In addition, the Company’s model of working closely with global partners including Alstom, Bechtel, NRG, Google and Chevron is how we see the technology of energy evolving.”
The main investors during this latest round of capital-raising were: Alstom, VantagePoint Capital Partners, DFJ, CalSTRS, DBL Investors, Goldman Sachs, Chevron Technology Ventures, and BP Ventures.
BrightSource and Alstom have also expanded their geographic partnerships to develop solar thermal power plants in Australia and India. The companies also announced, back in 2010, plans to develop power plants in Africa and the Mediterranean. This is all in addition to their collaboration on the development of thermal storage and hybridization with fossil fuels.
BrightSource notes: “According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), solar energy, including both Concentrated Solar Thermal Power and Photovoltaics could account for 25% of global electricity by 2050 and cover a third of global energy demand after 2060. Concentrating solar thermal power alone could supply 11.3% of the world’s electricity by 2050.”
Currently, BrightSource Energy is operating a 6MW thermal demonstration facility in the Negev Desert in Israel, and also a 29MW thermal facility for in Coalinga, California.
It is also in the process of constructing the 377MW Ivanpah solar project, as part of its partnership with Google and NRG Energy. That project is currently more than 60% complete. When completed, it will be capable of providing renewable, reliable electricity to more than 140,000 California homes. The company is also in the process of receiving permits for a 500MW project in Rio Mesa, and a 500MW project in Hidden Hills.

I am interested in understanding how the phenomenon termed by Jared Diamond as “landscape amnesia” also known as shifting baselines makes us unaware of just how drastically we have altered the environment because we have forgotten how much things have changed with each successive generation. I will utilize this grant to create my fifth and last memorial, one that rethinks what a memorial can be—a memorial that can exist in many forms simultaneously. Entitled What is Missing?, it will take the form of a multi-sited sound and visual media installation at specific institutions, a website, and a book. A key aspect of the project is a global map of memories. This map will allow people to contribute a specific memory of a place that they have witnessed disappear or significantly diminish. The website will be seeded with historical accounts of early explorers such as Darwin, Lewis and Clark, and Christopher Columbus, as well as memories contributed by the people involved in the making of What is Missing?, in order to establish a collective memory of the planet.
Maya Lin has maintained a careful balance between art and architecture throughout her career, creating a remarkable body of work that includes large-scale site-specific installations, intimate studio artworks, architecture and memorials. Peering at the landscape—the context and source of inspiration for her work—through a 21st century lens, Ms. Lin utilizes technological methods to study and visualize the natural world, merging rational order with notions of beauty and the transcendental and translating them into sculptures, drawings and environmental installations.
From recent works such as Storm King Wavefield, Where the Land Meets the Sea and Eleven Minute Line to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Ms. Lin continuously presents innovative ways of looking at the world around us. Her work investigates our relationship to the environment, creating a systematic ordering of the land that is directly tied to history, language, and time.
A committed environmentalist, Ms. Lin is at work on her last memorial, entitled What is Missing? a multi-sited project which raises public awareness of the current crisis surrounding biodiversity and habitat loss.
Maya Lin serves on the Board of Trustees of the Natural Resources Defense Council. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 2005. Ms. Lin is the recipient of numerous prizes and awards, including the 2009. National Medal of Arts, the Presidential Design Award, a National Endowment for the Arts artist’ award, the William A. Bernoudy Resident in Architecture fellowship from the American Academy in Rome, the Award in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, an AIA Honor Award, the Finn Juhl Prize, and honorary doctorates from Yale, Harvard, Williams, and Smith College among others.

Japantown Atlas
The Japantown Atlas maps nearly two dozen communities in California where Japanese Americans lived and worked prior to World War II. Drawing from historic maps, business directories, and photos, we show a variety of Japantowns as they existed in 1940. Our project both memorializes the Issei (first generation Japanese immigrants) in their first 20-50 years in America - the businesses, churches and schools they established - and documents the hometowns that 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry were forced to leave behind during their incarceration in "Assembly Centers" and "Internment Camps" during World War II (1942-1946).
The Japanese American Evacuation and Resettlement: A Digital Archive
The Bancroft Library - University of California, Berkeley. Starting in August 2011 and ending in March 2014, the project digitized nearly 100,000 original manuscript items and made them available on the Online Archive of California. A thematic website was designed and created to lead users to the data by various means, including textual searches using standardized vocabularies and visual mechanisms such as GIS tagging and interactive maps. The digital archive allows users to explore these primary source materials and connects them to related resources. As one of the Bancroft Library's most heavily used collections, this project ensures the long-term preservation of the original materials while providing unprecedented access through a central portal.

UN Chief Calls for Nuclear Weapons-Free Middle East
(UN News)* – The UN Secretary-General on Monday [29 November 2021] called on all Middle East States to transform the vision of a region with no nuclear weapons, or other weapons of mass destruction, into a working reality.

Antonio Guterres was speaking in New York at the second session of the Conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and Other Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Since 1967, five such zones have been established around the world: Latin America and the Caribbean, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Africa and Central Asia. They include 60 per cent of all UN Member States and cover almost all of the Southern Hemisphere.
For the Secretary-General, expanding such zones would help build a safer world.
“That is particularly the case in the Middle East, where concerns over nuclear programmes persist, and where conflicts and civil wars are causing widespread civilian casualties and suffering, undermining stability and disrupting social and economic development”, Mr. Guterres explained.

The UN chief also reiterated his call for all parties to exercise restraint and avoid escalation.
In this context, he highlighted the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action(JCPOA), known commonly as Iran Nuclear Deal, saying that the return to dialogue is “an important step.”
The JCPOA was signed by Iran alongside the European Union and five permanent members of the Security Council: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
However, Washington withdrew in May 2018, under the previous administration. Talks over Iran’s nuclear programme and a revival of the JCPOA, have resumed this week in Vienna.
“All parties must ensure this valuable instrument remains effective”, he argued.
For Mr. Guterres, the positive consequences of a Middle East free of nuclear weapons would extend beyond nuclear control.
“It will strengthen the international bans on chemical and biological weapons. It will build trust, reduce tensions and prevent conflicts and human suffering”, he argued.
According to him, it would also deescalate regional arms races and free much needed resources to tackle major challenges, including COVID-19, climate change, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
‘New extremes’
The president of the General Assembly, Abdulla Shahid, also addressed the Conference, pointing out some progress such as the entry into force of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, the renewal of the START treaty between the United States and Russia, and the ongoing talks on the JCPOA.
He cautioned, though, that Member States’ destructive capacity “has reached new extremes”, with many continuing to invest, innovate and build this type of weapons.

“It is not outside the realm of possibility that, on our current trajectory, every minor geopolitical squabble could trigger catastrophic global consequences”, he said.
Diplomacy and good faith
Currently, it is estimated that some 15,000 nuclear weapons exist in the world. The General Assembly mandated a nuclear weapons free Middle East, for the first time, in 1974.
Like other regions, Mr. Shahid argued, the geopolitics of this part of the world are complex, and any settlements will require sound diplomacy and negotiations based on good faith.
“The addition of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction to the region’s politics will complicate an already challenging process, undermining trust and portending existential consequences”, he argued.
Finally, the President of the General Assembly noted that not enough states have signed and ratified the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), twenty-five years after its adoption.
He also pointed to the 10th Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, taking place in New York in January, as an opportunity to renew commitments.

On October 9, 1949, the Bureau of Posts issued a set of three stamps and a souvenir sheet to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Postal Union.
The stamp design featured the UPU Monument unveiled in Berne, Switzerland in 1909.
The monument consists of a central image in which five women, representing the five continents, are passing letters around the world.
Union Postal Union
The Universal Postal Union (UPU) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that aims to organize and improve postal service throughout the world and to ensure international collaboration in this area. Among the principles governing its operation as set forth in the Universal Postal Convention and the General Regulations, two of the most important were the formation of a single territory by all signatory nations for the purposes of postal communication and uniformity of postal rates and units of weight. The original agreement adopted in 1875 applied only to letter mail; other postal services, such as parcel post and international money orders, have been regulated by supplementary agreements that are binding only on signing members.
The first attempt to agree upon general rules concerning the international postal service was in 1863, when United States Postmaster General Montgomery Blair called a conference in Paris. Delegates from 15 European and American countries met and succeeded in laying down a number of general principles for mutual agreements. But the scope of their decisions was limited and they were not able to settle on an international postal agreement.
This task was left to Heinrich von Stephan, a senior postal official from the North German Confederation. He drew up a plan for an international postal union, and at his suggestion, the Swiss Government convened an international conference in Bern on 15 September 1874. The conference was attended by representatives from 22 nations.
[Signature of J.P. Hofstede] On 9 October of the same year - a day now celebrated throughout the world as World Post Day - the Treaty of Bern, establishing the General Postal Union, was signed. For the Netherlands the treaty was signed by J.P. Hofstede (general director of the Dutch Posterijen) and Coenraad Willem baron Sweerts de Landas Wijborgh (1820-1892, director of the Posterijen in Rotterdam).
The union actually came into effect on 1 July 1875. Membership in the Union grew so quickly during the following three years that its name was changed to the Universal Postal Union in 1878.
On 1 July 1947 the UPU became a specialized agency of the United Nations. At the moment the UPU has 191 member states. Out of 192 UN member states, 188 are UPU members. The situation of Andorra, Marshall Islands, Federates States of Micronesia and Palau is not yet settled. Two groups of territories are ranked as a member state: Netherlands Antilles and Aruba, and Overseas Territories of the United Kingdom. Vatican City is also a UPU member state.
[UPU2-20] Some member states also represent their dependent territories and these territories are deemed to fall under UPU jurisdiction: Australia (Norfolk Island), China (Hong Kong, Macao), Denmark (Faroe Islands, Greenland), France (French Overseas Departments and French Polynesia, French Southern and Antarctic Territories, New Caledonia, Scattered Islands, Wallis and Futuna), New Zealand (Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau), United Kingdom (Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey), United States (Guam, Puerto Rico, Samoa, Virgin Islands of the United States of America, Northern Mariana Islands). The Northern Mariana Islands are still listed as Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Samoa is better known as American Samoa, to distinguish it from the neighbouring state of Samoa.
The Universal Postal Congress is the legislative body and meets every five years. The Executive Council, which consists of 40 representative countries elected by the congress, ensures the continuity of the work of the UPU and meets annually. The International Bureau is maintained at Bern and acts as a secretariat in carrying out the daily operations.
In 2007 the UPU emblem was changed by adding the two United Nations olive branches around the globe and figures | 2023-14/0005/en_head.json.gz/6058 | {"url":

Five Essential… Hollywood Remakes
Gary Collinson selects his Five Essential Hollywood Remakes…
Given the current Hollywood trend of shunning creativity and originality in favour of a quick cash-in based on name recognition, the remake (reboot, reimagining, rehash, or whatever you’d like to call it) has firmly cemented its place as the order of the day. Although the number of upcoming remakes is pushing astronomical levels – just check this list out at TheMovieInsider.com – it would be (slightly) unfair to suggest that the entire concept is nothing but a recipe for disaster. Over the years a handful of gems stand out among the seemingly endless list of pointless, sub-standard travesties, such as the following Five Essential Hollywood Remakes…
5. The Maltese Falcon (1941, dir. John Huston)
Regarded as the first film noir, The Maltese Falcon is based on Dashiell Hammett’s novel of the same name and stars screen legend Humphrey Bogart as private eye Sam Spade on the trail of a priceless MacGuffin. First adapted ten years earlier by director Roy Del Ruth, the original was outlawed under the restrictive Motion Picture Production Code (later seeing release under the title Dangerous Female), leading Warner Bros. to produce a new version from director John Huston. Nominated for three Academy Awards including Best Picture, The Maltese Falcon remains one of the finest mysteries in cinema history.
4. The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956, dir. Alfred Hitchcock)
Alfred Hitchcock’s Hollywood remake of his earlier British classic sees James Stewart and Doris Day as an American couple who find their daughter kidnapped after the family become embroiled in an assassination plot. When comparing the movies in discussion with French film-maker and critic Francois Truffaut, Hitchcock suggested “the first version is the work of a talented amateur and the second was made by a professional”, and the latter is certainly the more polished, suspenseful and satisfying of the two (but don’t let that put you off the 1934 original).
3. The Departed (2006, dir. Martin Scorsese)
Boasting a stellar cast including Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg, Jack Nicholson, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin and Ray Winstone, The Departed is an American remake Hong Kong crime thriller Infernal Affairs (and elements of its two sequels) from directors Andrew Lau and Alan Mak. Although by no means Scorsese’s best work, it did finally bag the director a long overdue Oscar statuette along with successes in the Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay and Editing categories, and stands as the finest example of a Western take on Asian cinema. Whether it manages to improve on the original however, is another matter entirely.
2. The Thing (1982, dir. John Carpenter)
Based on John W. Campbell, Jr.’s novella Who Goes There? (published under the pseudonym Don. A Stuart), which had earlier hit the screen with 1951’s The Thing from Another World, John Carpenter’s sci-fi horror classic The Thing stars Kurt Russell as the leader of an Antarctic research team who find themselves attacked by a hidden killer – a parasitic alien life form that assumes the identity of its host. Despite poor box-office returns and mixed reviews the film has went on to achieve cult status, while its elaborate visual effects remain highly impressive to this day. Coincidently, a remake/sequel/prequel is currently in development from director Matthijs van Heijningen.
1. Scarface (1983, dir. Brian De Palma)
Updating Howard Hawk’s classic gangster film to a then contemporary 1980 setting, Scarface is a bloody and brutal epic that details Cuban refugee Tony Montana’s (Al Pacino) pursuit of the American Dream, his ascension through the ranks of organised crime and eventual violent downfall. Despite a Razzie nomination for Worst Director Brian De Palma delivers a masterclass in the execution of a successful remake, while Pacino is electric in arguably his greatest performance as Montana, a cold-blooded and ruthless killer who will stop at nothing in his pursuit of the American Dream, and a character truly worthy of his iconic status.
His Girl Friday (1940, dir. Howard Hawks)
The Fly (1986, dir. David Cronenberg)
Cape Fear (1991, dir. Martin Scorsese)
Insomnia (2002, dir. Christopher Nolan)
3:10 to Yuma (2007, dir. James Mangold)
And of course for the perfect example of what not to do, see Day of the Dead. Or rather, don’t.
Agree? Disagree? We’d love to hear your comments on the list…

Sudanese government, armed groups sign landmark peace deal to end conflicts
Chairman of Sudan's Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, South Sudan's President Salva Kiir and Chadian President Idriss Deby (front, from L to R) hold aloft the peace deal in Juba, South Sudan
After a full year of negotiations, the Sudanese government and armed groups on Saturday signed a final peace deal in South Sudan’s capital Juba to end armed conflicts.
The signing ceremony, which was broadcast live by Sudan’s official TV, was attended by South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir, Chairman of Sudan’s Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.
The participants also included representatives from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Chad and Egypt in addition to regional and international organizations such as the United Nations, the African Union, the Arab League and the European Union.
Deputy Chairman of Sudan’s Sovereign Council Mohamed Hamdan Daqlu signed the deal for the Sudanese government, while leaders of nine armed groups, under the Revolutionary Front Alliance, signed for the alliance.
Al-Burhan, addressing the signing ceremony, vowed that there will be no return to war, saying “we will not deviate from the peace. We reiterate our keenness to implement what has been agreed on.”
Meanwhile, Al-Hadi Idris, chairman of the alliance, urged the international community to support implementation of the peace agreement.
The deal included protocols of security arrangements, power and wealth sharing, compensation for the displaced people and refugees, land ownership, and realization of justice and development.
Chairperson of the African Union (AU) Commission, Moussa Faki, reiterated the AU support for the peace deal in Sudan.
“Implementation of the deal is harder than its signing. The AU will support this deal,” he said.
Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, addressing the signing ceremony, voiced Egypt’s support to Sudan’s peace deal.
“I reaffirm Egypt’s firm determination to continue working with the brothers in Sudan to enhance the aspects of the standing partnership between our two countries,” said Madbouly.
Since October 2019, South Sudan has been mediating between the Sudanese government and the armed groups from Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile regions.
Sudan’s Justice and Equality Movement, led by Jibril Ibrahim, the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) /Minni Minnawi faction, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM)/northern sector (Malik Agar and Abdelaziz al-Hilu factions) and opposition groups from eastern, central and northern Sudan, took part in the talks with the government.
However, the SPLM/northern sector led by Abdelaziz al-Hilu has not yet signed the peace deal after the mediation suspended the negotiation between it and the Sudanese government, while the SLM/Abdul Wahid Mohamed Nur faction refused to join the peace talks

The Writer's Center Partners with Fall For The Book
The Writer's Center has a longstanding annual tradition of hosting a reading as part of Fall for the Book. This year, the September 22 reading by Clifford Garstang and Hailey Leithauser and the September 27 reading by Jon Pineda and Sarah Pleydell are both included in the festival. We're glad to post Art Taylor's blog about the upcoming festival.
Novelist Sarah Pleydell
From a Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist to one of the most important figures in today’s political landscape to the memoirist whose adventures launched Oprah’s Book Club 2.0, this year’s Fall for the Book Festival welcomes some of the nation’s most exciting and provocative writers to its landmark 15th annual festival, September 22-27. Dave Barry, Ralph Nader, and Cheryl Strayed join thriller writer David Baldacci and poet Sonia Sanchez to headline the festival, which hosts events at locations throughout Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland. And as part of its continuing partnership with Fall for the Book, The Writer’s Center will be welcoming acclaimed authors Clifford Garstang and Hailey Leithauser on the festival’s opening day and Sarah Pleydell, and Jon Pineda on the closing evening.
On Sunday, September 22, at 2 p.m., The Writer’s Center hosts poet Hailey Leithauser and novelist Clifford Garstang for readings from their recent and upcoming works. Leithauser is author of Swoop, which won the Poetry Foundation’s Emily Dickinson First Book Award and is forthcoming from Graywolf Press, and Garstang’s novel, What the Zhang Boys Know, published by Press 53, has been named a finalist for the 2013 Library of Virginia Award in Fiction, alongside Christopher Tilghman’s The Right-hand Shore and Kevin Powers’ The Yellow Birds.
Then on the festival’s closing night—Friday, September 27, at 7:30 p.m.—The Writer’s Center hosts readings by first-time novelists Jon Pineda and Sarah Pleydell, writers who have each earned distinction in other genres before earning praise for their fiction. Pineda’s new novel, Apology, winner of the 2013 Milkweed National Fiction Prize, follows on the heels of his memoir Sleep in Me, a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection, and his poetry collections The Translator’s Diary, winner of the 2007 Green Rose Prize, and Birthmark, winner of the 2003 Crab Orchard Award Series Open Competition. Sarah Pleydell, whose debut novel Cologne has been described by The Washington Post as “crisply and elegantly written,” is an award-winning writer, performer and playwright who has worked with institutions including The Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts, The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and the Luce Institute.
Beyond these events at The Writer’s Center and the festival’s five headliners, Fall for the Book welcomes a wide range of authors across a diverse set of genres, including:
Novelists Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Bonnie Jo Campbell, Ellen Crosby, Anton DiSclafani, Allison Leotta, Thomas Mallon, Benjamin Percy, Bob Shacochis, and more
Poets Eduardo Corral, Judith Harris, Karen Ah-hwei Lee, William Logan, Robyn Schiff, and more
Historians and biographers Marie Arana, Scott W. Berg, Robert Dorr, Dean King, Cate Lineberry, and Daniel Stashower, among others
Memoirists Josh Hanagarne, E. Ethelbert Miller, and Elisabeth Petry (daughter of novelist Ann Petry), and more
Honest Tea founder Seth Goldman
And the festival’s first major cooking and food event, with discussions and demonstrations by Norman Davis, Todd Gray and Ellen Kassoff Gray, Krista Gallagher and Kris Schoels, Dave and Claudia Lefeve, Forrest Pritchard, Michael Stein, Joe Yonan, and Peter and Laura Zeranski
Plus much, much more!

Publish Now!
Last year we presented “Publish Now!,” a popular one-day program focusing on rapid changes in the publishing world and the resulting opportunities and challenges for writers. The event was a great success – the room buzzing with conversation at the reception following the close of the formal program -- so we’re glad to offer a second “Publish Now!” program on Saturday, October 26. The day-long program will offer insights into the world of self-publishing in the digital age, Speakers include Amy Abrams, Ken Ackerman, Laura Ambler, Austin S. Camacho, Barbara Esstman, Neal Gillen, C.M. Mayo, Margaret Meacham, Jennifer Miller, Phil Sexton, and Wilson Wyatt.
Phil Sexton, Writer's Digest Publisher
The "Publish Now!" annual seminar is designed to give all writers the latest information they need to publish their work in print or e-book format in the digital age. Self publishing once carried a tremendous stigma, but a Writer’s Digest survey of 5,000 authors revealed how attitudes are changing. The survey found that 70% of traditionally-published authors who had also self-published actually preferred self-publishing. It's easy to understand the appeal: self-publishing can be more lucrative for authors than the traditional payment arrangements with established publishers; authors can also have more control over the final products, whether in the form of print books or e-books. Additional control implies extra responsibilities for authors seeking to successfully self-publish. Our speakers will address the challenges they have faced and ways avoid many of the common pitfalls of self-publishing.
Wilson Wyatt, an author and photographer active in the Delmarva writing community, has observed significant changes in the publishing landscape: “Self-publishing stands on its own feet and competes head-to-head with traditional publishing. Writers can now take control of their own publishing experience.” Wyatt, a founder and executive editor of The Delmarva Review, played a prominent role in organizing both Publish Now! programs.
Writer’s Digest publisher Phil Sexton will offer a writer’s perspective in his opening talk, which will address the current trends in publishing. Sexton has worked with Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Books-a-Million and many other major book retailers and wholesalers in the country. He is also the author of A Picture is Worth 1000 Words, Legends of Literature and The Writer’s Lab.
The program will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 26. Sessions will cover: preparing and editing your manuscript, alternative publishing techniques, self-publishing choices and costs, business and legal issues and proven marketing strategies. In addition to novels and nonfiction, specialized breakout sessions will be devoted to publishing children’s and young adult, memoir, art and photography, travel and interactive books.
Space is limited and early registration is recommended. Tickets are $100 ($85 for Writer's Center members and $50 for full-time students and military veterans.) A $25 increase will go into effect after Oct. 1. | 2023-14/0005/en_head.json.gz/9047 | {"url": "https://thewriterscenter.blogspot.com/2013/09/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en",

Biden Announces $6 Billion Funding to Scale Industrial Decarbonization Projects
Mark Segal March 9, 2023
The Biden administration unveiled on Wednesday a series of initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial sector, including the announcement of a $6 billion Industrial Demonstrations Program to accelerate decarbonization projects targeting hard-to-abate sectors.
The advancement of industrial decarbonization has been a key focus area for the Biden administration’s climate agenda, with the industrial sector accounting for nearly a third of the U.S.’ emissions. The administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) include allocations of nearly $500 billion to climate-focused investments in areas including carbon-free energy, manufacturing and clean technologies. For the federal government’s own projects, the administration last year launched a “Buy Clean Task Force,” aimed at promoting clean procurement, targeting the use of construction materials with lower embodied emissions and pollutants across their lifecycle.
In a White House statement announcing the new initiatives, the administration said:
“The industrial sector is critical to ensuring that America leads in building a clean energy economy and tackling the climate crisis. We can harness cleaner steel, aluminum, and concrete to build electric vehicles, wind turbines, solar farms, and sustainable transportation infrastructure with an even smaller environmental footprint…Today’s actions underscore the Administration’s comprehensive approach to building a clean industrial sector, from spurring investments to lower emissions in the supply of materials, to new procurement commitments that send demand signals in the marketplace for clean products.”
The new $6 billion funding program, announced through the Department of Energy (DOE), will provide up to 50% of the cost of first-of-a-kind or early-stage decarbonization projects, in order to bring them to scale this decade. The DOE said that it will prioritize projects that accelerate industry towards deep decarbonization, spur follow-on investments for widespread adoption of the demonstrated technologies, enable new markets for cleaner products, and benefit local communities.
The projects are expected to target the highest emitting industries – such as iron and steel, aluminum, cement and concrete – with cross cutting technologies with the greatest potential to achieve significant decarbonization domestically and globally.
The funding for the demonstration program includes over $5.4 billion from the IRA and $430 million from the BIL.
U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm said:
“Today’s announcement is yet another exciting step in the race to fully decarbonize our heavy industries, and will help drastically reduce harmful pollution while ensuring America’s manufacturing sector is strong and competitive.”
The administration also announced the launch of the Federal-State Buy Clean Partnership, kicking off with participation from 12 states, with commitments to prioritize procurement of lower-carbon infrastructure materials in state-funded projects, and to send a harmonized demand signal for clean materials, together with the federal government.

A vast array of talented performers are on the lineup all through February, including the Read Southall Band (Feb 12), and La Mafia (Feb 13). A very special Valentine’s Day show titled ‘Real Love, Rare Love In Texas’ is Feb. 14. Love For Kids, Inc in partnership with musicians from Texas Music Network and Billy Bob’s Texas come together to host a night of love for kids. The event hopes to bring awareness to Rare Disease Day.
February Concerts continue with Danielle Nicole (Feb 19) and The Cleverlys (Feb 20) at the 81 Club. Jimmie Allen (Feb 19) and Shenandoah & Collin Raye (Feb 20) will perform on the main stage. Texas favorites Mike & The Moonpies (Feb 26) and hitmaker Tracy Lawrence (Feb 27) play February out in grand style.
World’s Largest Honkytonk

Billy Bob’s Texas is located in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. The 100,000 square foot cattle barn became Billy Bob’s Texas in 1981. Since then more than 17 million visitors have enjoyed live entertainment and real bull riding at “The World’s Largest Honky Tonk.”
The facility can hold 6,000 rowdy patrons on a given night and has been host to hundreds of musical acts, from Alan Jackson to ZZ Top. On Fridays and Saturdays, the venue also features live bull riding – a step up from the mechanical variety. It seems like an unlikely source for a series that has sold millions of albums.

Editorial: Exports spur N.D. economy
September 23, 2007 by Lindsey Warner
The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead
Published Sunday, September 23, 2007
The expansion of export trade from North Dakota has gone hand-in-hand with the relaxation of trade barriers and tariffs. The U.S. Department of Commerce reports North Dakota increased export sales 27 percent in 2006, nearly twice the national average of 15 percent.
When converted to dollars, the totals for North Dakota are impressive: nearly $1.6 billion. Most surprising (although not to North Dakota business involved in foreign trade), the largest slice of the trade pie is machinery manufacturing, accounting for 54.4 percent of sales in 2006, or slightly more than $817 million.
We hope Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., has been paying attention. He’s never been a fan of free trade zones and treaties.
Trade agreements, including NAFTA and the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, have made the difference, say people directly involved in selling across international borders. Since a free trade zone was established in 1994, North Dakota’s trade with Canada has doubled. Similar trade agreements with Australia and Mexico have doubled North Dakota’s export sales to those countries. Ever-increasing export sales to Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Italy, Belgium, Germany and other nations have also shown healthy increases, due in large part to aggressive North Dakota entrepreneurs working with trade experts from the North Dakota Trade Office.
Manufacturing leads export sales, but value-added crops and processed foods comprise a major component of trade – more than 20 percent of the 2006 total, or more than $210 million.
This is big stuff. It means jobs and a stronger, more diverse economy in North Dakota. It means the state depends on world markets to keep its economy resilient enough to weather the vagaries of agriculture and the uncertainties of the global energy market.
Trade agreements – both bilateral pacts and continental treaties – are vital. Lower trade barriers and tariffs enable North Dakota to participate fully in the international flow of goods and services.
Not everyone is as enamored of trade agreements as North Dakota’s industrial and agri-business traders clearly are. Sen. Dorgan has been reluctant to embrace trade agreements, contending “free trade” is not always “fair trade.” While that’s an effective sound bite, the benefits of trade agreements to North Dakota have been confirmed by the growth of exports from the state. Pending U.S. bilateral trade agreements with South Korea and Columbia hold enormous potential for North Dakota businesses and farms.
No trade agreement is without flaw. But the measurable results of recent trade pacts demonstrate that the benefits for North Dakota’s economy – and people – far outweigh the downside.
Today’s issue:
North Dakota exports growing at a rate faster than the national average.
Our position:
The lowering of trade barriers and tariffs has been good for the state’s economy.

Operation Noble Defender (Polar Dagger)
Posted on February 3, 2023 (February 3, 2023) by tscadmin
Rapidly deploying and exercising Special Operations Forces in the Arctic
THE WATCH STAFF
Navy SEALs aboard black-rubber raiding boats skim across a choppy sea off Alaska under the watchful eye of an F-22 Raptor. Later, they parachute from high above their target zone near an isolated coastal town. The commandos conduct reconnaissance in the fog using drones equipped with the latest in artificial-intelligence technology. They operate from an expeditionary camp of Quonset huts supported by heavy-lift CH-47 Chinook helicopters from the Alaska National Guard.
This latest chapter in an ongoing series of exercises known as Operation Noble Defender fulfilled its purpose once again — demonstrating the ability of U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) and the binational North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to defend Canada and the United States against threats. The mid-September operation featured West Coast-based Naval Special Warfare units testing capabilities, including military freefall and personnel recovery. It also showed how the U.S. and its allies can count on Special Operations Forces (SOF) to strengthen a vital layer in the defense of the homeland — rapid deployment in the face of multiple and complex threats.
These commandos, having honed their skills during more than 20 years of combat in the Middle East, are turning their attention now to operating at Arctic latitudes. They got a taste of the unique demands of the region when a devastating storm hit during Operation Noble Defender. The SEALs continued training through the rough seas of Typhoon Merbok as it produced waves higher than any seen in the region for seven decades. They even paused to help recovery efforts in Nome and other storm-damaged communities along the Alaska coastline.

Their operation was centered on St. Lawrence Island, less than 40 miles from the Russian coast and home to about 1,400 largely indigenous Alaskans. The island is at the southern approach to the Bering Strait, the narrow body of water separating Russia from Alaska and the only maritime link between the northern Pacific and the Arctic Ocean. The strategic importance of the Arctic is growing as the melting of sea ice opens potential new shipping routes there and as Russia, despite international condemnation, dramatically expands its military presence along its 24,000 kilometers of Arctic coastline.
Even as Operation Noble Defender was underway, nuclear-powered Russian submarines were firing anti-ship cruise missiles at targets 400 kilometers away during a military exercise in the Chukchi Sea north of the Bering Strait. The exercise was dubbed Umka-22, a name for polar bear in Russian. Russia has indicated it hopes to use the Bering Strait as a routine passageway to connect its Arctic naval fleet, based near the Russian border with Norway, and its Pacific fleet with headquarters on the Kamchatka Peninsula and in Vladivostok. At its narrowest point, the Bering Strait is little more than 80 kilometers. Two Russian ballistic submarines made the Bering Strait passage following Umka-22. Russia has continued conducting military exercises in the Arctic region even as most of the nation’s land forces fight its war in Ukraine.
“Russia’s geographic proximity to the Arctic makes it the most acute security concern to North America,” U.S. Air Force Gen. Glen D. VanHerck, commander of USNORTHCOM and NORAD, wrote in an Oct. 3, 2022, article for the service’s Journal of Indo-Pacific Affairs. “Russia’s irresponsible behavior in Ukraine highlights why all Arctic nations should be concerned with Russian activities in the region.”
For two years, through seven Operation Noble Defender exercises, the U.S. and its allies have been answering concerns about threats from adversaries by developing and demonstrating the air-land-sea capabilities necessary for a holistic, 360-degree defense of North America. The September operation was the latest example, conducted largely at high altitudes over sparsely populated Arctic and Pacific areas including St. Lawrence Island, Inuvik, Yellowknife, King Salmon, Ketchikan and west of Vancouver. All three NORAD regions sent military aircraft to carry out defensive maneuvers along the northern and western approaches to the continent while USNORTHCOM ground forces demonstrated their abilities to operate in the austere Arctic environment. The exercise involved military personnel and equipment from Alberta, Canada; Washington; Oregon; Colorado; and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. (Pictured: Operation Noble Guard in September 2022 featured free fall jumps over the town of Svoorsgard on isolated St. Lawrence Island in Alaska. The operation involved personnel from a West Coast-based Naval Special Warfare command.)

Most Operation Noble Defender exercises have centered in Alaska. In Alaska alone, the U.S. military has 27,000 personnel, active duty as well as guard members and reservists. In a signal of the Arctic region’s importance to homeland defense, Alaska hosts a number of cold-weather military exercises by the U.S. and its allies, including the large-scale Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center Exercise near Fort Greely in March 2022, involving more than 8,000 Soldiers.
Conducting military exercises with allies in the northern latitudes “exhibits credible deterrence,” VanHerck wrote. “Campaigning requires close work with regional allies, partners, organizations, and institutions in the pursuit of shared objectives. We are stronger together, and our competitors know they do not benefit from the same relationships.”

North Korea Says 800,000 Young People Have Signed Up To Fight Against U.S.
According to North Korea’s state newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, approximately 800,000 students and workers expressed interest in enlisting or reenlisting in the nation’s military to counter the United States.
“The soaring enthusiasm of young people to join the army is a demonstration of the unshakeable will of the younger generation to mercilessly wipe out the war maniacs making last-ditch efforts to eliminate our precious socialist country, and achieve the great cause of national reunification without fail and a clear manifestation of their ardent patriotism,” the story in Rodong Sinmun said.
The announcement followed the launch of the Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Thursday by the secretive communist state in response to ongoing U.S.-South Korea military exercises.
The missile was fired into the sea between the Korean peninsula and Japan.
The launch of North Korea’s ballistic missiles is prohibited under United Nations Security Council resolutions, and the governments of Seoul, Washington, and Tokyo have condemned it.
The joint military exercises between South Korea and the United States, dubbed “Freedom Shield 23,” began on Monday and are being held on a larger scale than any since 2017, in response to North Korea’s escalating threats.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has accused the United States and South Korea of exacerbating tensions by conducting these military exercises.

IMAX: Journey To Space Will Debut as a 4K UHD 3D Blu-ray on June 7th
Shout! Factory will Journey To Space for its first foray into a line of new, immersive, Giant Screen films in the visually stunning 4K Ultra HD format. The film will be released June 7, 2016, on Blu-ray, and in a 4K UHD + 3D Blu-ray + Blu-ray 2-disc combo. This dazzling film illustrates just how exciting and ambitious NASA’s next era promises to be. In showcasing the goals NASA and the space industry are working towards, including space travel to Mars and capturing asteroids, the film puts an end to the perception that the space program died with the end of the Space Shuttle Program.
SHOUT! FACTORY ANNOUNCES ITS FIRST 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY RELEASE
JOURNEY TO SPACE
AS SEEN IN IMAX® AND GIANT SCREEN THEATRES
Los Angeles, California – Beautifully narrated by film and television legend Sir Patrick Stewart, and featuring extensive interviews with astronauts Chris Ferguson (Commander of the final shuttle mission) and Serena Aunon (a new astronaut chosen for future flights), Journey To Space also puts into historical context the magnificent contributions made by the Space Shuttle program and its daring space pioneers during their 135 missions.
Journey To Space offers spectacular space footage and gorgeous views of Earth as it shows operations in space, such as deploying and repairing the Hubble Space Telescope, and building the International Space Station (ISS). These incredibly important programs taught us how to live, build and conduct science in space. The ISS will continue to be in operation until 2024, and the film shows how it is building a foundation for the next giant leaps NASA will be taking, leaps that will forever change how we live and operate in space as a species. An impressive and realistic depiction of how astronauts plan to travel to Mars and back as part of a two-and-a-half-year mission concludes this sensational film.
The spirit of human exploration is at the core of man’s DNA. Journey To Space endeavors to remind us all of the incredible accomplishments the brave men and women of the Space Shuttle program have achieved so far, and to inspire younger generations to dream of new horizons in space.
Journey To Space is co-produced by K2 Films, Inc. and Giant Screen Films. The film is written and directed by Mark Krenzien, produced by Don Kempf, Mark Kresser and Andy Wood, co-produced by Ed Capelle, executive produced by Bob Kresser and edited by Dale Beldin.
With high dynamic range (HDR) and Dolby Atmos®, the 4K UHD disc delivers incredible picture clarity and immersive audio for the optimal home entertainment experience. Shout! Factory is joining industry leaders and major consumer electronic companies on the forefront of this new content. Shout!’s 4K Ultra HD offerings feature spectacular cinematic adventures produced by world-renowned MacGillivary Freeman Films, K2 Communications, SK Films, The Stephen Low Company, and Giant Screen Films. These critically acclaimed and award-winning movies, all of which shot in IMAX® technology and released in IMAX® and Giant Screen Theatres across the country, include Journey To Space (narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart), Humpback Whales (narrated by Ewan Mcgregor), Flight Of The Butterflies, Rocky Mountain Express, Wonders Of The Arctic (Narrated By Victor Garber) And The Last Reef: Cities Beneath The Sea.

“It would be fair to say that today Let It Besymbolizes the breaking up of The Beatles.
That’s the mythology, the truth is somewhat different.
The real story of Let It Be has been locked in the vaults of Apple Corps for the last fifty years.”
Callaway Arts & Entertainment and Apple Corps Ltd. are pleased to announce plans for the global publication on October 12, 2021 of THE BEATLES: GET BACK, the first official standalone book to be released by The Beatles since international bestseller The Beatles Anthology. Beautifully designed and produced, the 240-page hardcover tells the story of The Beatles’ creation of their 1970 album, Let It Be, in their own words.
Presenting transcribed conversations drawn from over 120 recorded hours of the band’s studio sessions with hundreds of previously unpublished images, including photos by Ethan A. Russell and Linda McCartney, THE BEATLES: GET BACK also includes a foreword written by Peter Jackson and an introduction by Hanif Kureishi.
The book’s texts are edited by John Harris from original conversations between John, Paul, George and Ringo spanning three weeks of recording, culminating in The Beatles’ historic final rooftop concert. THE BEATLES: GET BACK will be a special and essential companion to director Peter Jackson’s “THE BEATLES: GET BACK” feature documentary film, set for theatrical release on August 27, 2021.
This intimate, riveting book invites us to travel back in time to January 1969, the beginning of The Beatles’ last year as a band. The BEATLES (‘The White Album’) is still at number one in the charts, but the ever-prolific foursome regroup in London for a new project, initially titled Get Back.
Over 21 days, first at Twickenham Film Studios and then at their own brand-new Apple Studios, with cameras and tape recorders documenting every day’s work, the band rehearse a huge number of songs, new and old, in preparation for what proves to be their final concert, which famously takes place on the rooftop of their own Apple Corps office building, bringing central London to a halt.
Legend now has it that these sessions were a grim time for a band falling apart, but, as acclaimed novelist Hanif Kureishi writes in his introduction to THE BEATLES: GET BACK, “In fact this was a productive time for them, when they created some of their best work. And it is here that we have the privilege of witnessing their early drafts, the mistakes, the drift and digressions, the boredom, the excitement, joyous jamming and sudden breakthroughs that led to the work we now know and admire.”
These sessions, which generated the Let It Be album and film released in May 1970, represent the only time in The Beatles’ career that they were filmed at such length while in the studio creating music. Simultaneously, they were exclusively photographed and their conversations recorded.
THE BEATLES: GET BACK is the band’s own definitive book documenting those sessions. It brings together enthralling transcripts of their candid conversations, edited by leading music writer John Harris, with hundreds of extraordinary images, most of them unpublished. The majority of the photographs are by two photographers who had special access to their sessions—Ethan A. Russell and Linda Eastman (who married Paul McCartney two months later).
Peter Jackson’s documentary film will reexamine the sessions using over 55 hours of unreleased original 16-millimetre footage filmed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg in 1969, now restored, and 120 hours of mostly unheard audio recordings. This sumptuous book also features many unseen high-resolution film frames from the same restored footage.

Cave Canem Poets Win Awards
Brooklyn, NY (12 May 2016)—Cave Canem Foundation, North America’s premier home for black poetry, congratulates seven recipients of prestigious national awards: fellows Rio Cortez, LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, Ross Gay, Duriel Harris, Airea Dee Matthews and Danez Smith, and faculty member Ed Roberson.
Rio Cortez, a Pushcart-nominated poet and recipient of a 2012 Amy Award from Poets & Writers, was selected by Ross Gay in January 2016 as winner of the inaugural Toi Derricotte & Cornelius Eady Chapbook Prize for her manuscript I Have Learned to Define a Field as a Space between Mountains. The prize confers $500, publication by Jai-Alai Books, 10 copies of the chapbook, a one-week residency at the Writer’s Room at the Betsy Hotel in Miami, and a feature reading at the O, Miami Poetry Festival.
LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, author of TwERK and recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, has been awarded a 2016 Whiting Award, which confers $50,000 in recognition of “early accomplishment and the promise of great work to come.” Of TwERK, the selection committee writes, “In this heteroglot echo chamber a wide range of idioms—and their attendant forms of consciousness, of politics—collide and recombine.”
National Book Award finalist Ross Gay has won the 2016 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award for Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude. The award is given annually to honor a poet at mid-career, providing $100,000 and resources that allow the artist to continue working toward the pinnacle of their craft. Of Gay’s work, Chief Judge Chase Twichell says, “Although modest and unpretentious, Ross has an authority that allows him to speak directly into the ear of the reader with a disarming intimacy, one that makes us feel that each poem turns directly toward us as we read.”
Duriel Estelle Harris, co-founder of the Black Took Collection and author of three previous collections of poetry, has won the Nightboat Poetry Prize for No Dictionary of a Living Tongue. Competition judge Kazim Ali says: “Harris’ book is incredibly ambitious in its explorations of art, citizenship, life as a body amid all the social, political and electronic networks that define us, hold us together, even bind us.” Harris receives $1,000, and her collection will be published Spring 2017.
Airea Dee Matthews, a 2015 Kresge Literary Arts Fellow, has received the 2016 Yale Series of Younger Poets prize for simulacra (Yale University Press, April 2017). Judge Carl Phillips writes, “Rebellion is the first word that comes to mind, when reading simulacra, Airea Matthews’s rollicking, destabilizing, at once intellectually sly and piercing and finally poignant debut.” Matthews will receive a fellowship to complete a residency at the James Merrill House in Stonington, CT.
Shelley Memorial Award winner Ed Roberson has won both the PEN/Voelcker Award, which confers $5,000 upon a poet “whose distinguished and growing body of work to date represents a notable and accomplished presence in American literature”; and the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, which confers $100,000 and “honors a living US poet for outstanding lifetime achievement.” Wrote Poetry editor Don Share: “Roberson’s ten books of poetry take readers, as they have taken the poet himself, to every corner of the vivid labyrinth of life.”
Ruth Lilly Fellowship recipient Danez Smith has won the 2016 Kate Tufts Discovery Award, “presented annually for a first book by a poet of genuine promise,” for his manuscript [insert] boy (Yes Yes Books, 2015). Of the work, Chase Twichell writes, “[insert] boy is an unforgettable debut. I can think of no other recent first book of American poetry that packs a punch of this force.”
Founded in 1996 by poets Toi Derricotte and Cornelius Eady, Cave Canem Foundation is a home for the many voices of African American poetry and is committed to cultivating the artistic and professional growth of African American poets. Called “the major watering hole and air pocket for black poetry” by 2011 National Book Award winner and faculty member Nikky Finney, the organization’s programs include an annual week-long retreat, three book prizes delivered in collaboration with five prestigious presses, community-based writing workshops, Legacy Conversations with distinguished black poets and scholars, cross-cultural Poets on Craft talks with writers in mid-career, a popular lecture series, a New Works reading series, and a Poets Tour representing over 70 fellows. Such pre-eminent poets as Chris Abani, Elizabeth Alexander, Terrance Hayes, Yusef Komunyakaa, Harryette Mullen, Claudia Rankine and Natasha Trethewey number among the organization’s faculty and judges.

This week in history: 20th – 26th January
A whole six years ago on January 22nd 2008 Heath Ledger died from an accidental overdose of prescription pills. When he passed away, the 28 year-old actor was in the prime of his career. He was in the middle of filming The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. After some clever re-writing, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell were cast to complete Ledger’s role as a man who changed his appearance as he travelled between imaginary worlds. Depp, Law and Farrell all gave their earnings from the film to Ledger’s daughter Matilda.
The last film that Heath Ledger completed was Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight in which Ledger played Batman’s nemesis The Joker. His incredibly performance won him over thirty posthumous awards including an Oscar for best supporting actor.
On this day in 1961, Disney’s 101 Dalmatians was released. The film was a bit of a risk for the studio, their previous animated feature, Sleeping Beauty, failed to make even half of the $6 million production costs.
In light of this loss the animation team was reduced fivefold and xerography, a new, cheaper form of animation was introduced. 101 Dalmatians was the first feature film to use this technique. Xerography was a new photocopying technology which resulted in hard black outlines on the animations, a contrast to Disney’s previous soft feel. However, Disney needn’t have worried; 101 Dalmatians became the highest grossing film of 1961.
The original novel was written by Dodie Smith. Bill Peet, the writer, kept in close contact with her while screenwriting and he made a fair few changes. The Dalmatian protagonists were originally Pongo and Missus Pongo, Perdita was a stray, taken in to help wet nurse the puppies. The owners, Mr and Mrs Dearly, were originally named Roger and Anita Radcliffe. Although in the 1996 Disney live action version they are again named Roger and Anita. The changes were welcomed by Smith who felt that the Disney studios were improving on her story.
29 years on in 1990, Ava Gardner died aged 67. The pin-up actress’ biggest films included The Killers (1946) a crime drama where Gardner played Kitty Collins and On the Beach (1959) a Sci-Fi drama also starring Gregory Peck. Gardner once met J.R.R Tolkien at Oxford University in 1964, but neither knew that the other was famous.

In the spring of 1982, Palestinian terrorists entrenched themselves in Southern Lebanon, creating an informal state-within-a-state. From there they dispatched terrorists on murderous missions abroad and fired Katyusha rockets and artillery at civilian targets in Israel's northern Galilee region. On June 3, 1982, Israeli Ambassador Shlomo Argov was gunned down and critically wounded near his London home. The next day Israeli jets bombed P.L.O. ammunition depots and training bases. This triggered a massive P.L.O. bombardment against Israel's northern settlements, causing extensive damage and loss of life.
On June 6, the IDF launched Operation Peace for the Galilee with the purpose of removing the threat to Israel's northern settlements. Israeli units advanced along three major north-south routes, destroying P.L.O. bases and their terrorist infrastructure along the way.
IAF fighters and attack helicopters bombed terrorist strongholds, clearing the way for the ground forces. Transport helicopters provided around-the-clock tactical, logistic support. They airlifted fuel and ammunition to front-line troops when the three narrow roads which wind their way north into Lebanon became clogged. They also played a life-saving role by rapidly evacuating wounded to Israeli hospitals.
But the most spectacular achievement of the war was the destruction of the Syrian surface-to-air missile (SAM) sites in the Bekaa Valley. The IAF was equally impressive in air-to-air combat, downing about 90 Syrian Migs without loss.
Future historians will point to many important features of the air war over Lebanon. First and foremost, the IAF re-affirmed its undisputed aerial superiority. This was the first major conflict in which F-15's and F-16's could demonstrate their awesome prowess. It was also the first time that the IAF employed the Cobra and Defender attack helicopters on a wide scale. One of the war's greatest successes was achieved by its smallest participant: the locally produced mini-RPV (remotely piloted vehicle).
These tiny, propeller-driven craft beamed down real-time intelligence to air force and battlefield commanders, giving them a decisive edge in the rapidly unfolding combat arena. Another source of pride for the Israel Aircraft Industry (IAI) was the superb performance of the Kfir fighter bomber. Last but not least, honorable mention will be saved for the F-4 Phantom, which pounded home a reminder that it will be around for quite some time.
The Destruction of the Syrian Surface-to-Air Missiles (June 9, 1982)
In the spring of 1981, Israeli reconnaissance photography revealed a dangerous new development. Syria had begun to move Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) batteries into the neutral territory of Lebanon. During the course of the next year, Syria built up an overlapping network of SAMs, which included Soviet SA-2, SA-3 and mobile SA-6 missiles in the Bekaa Valley and along the Zabadani mountain range above it. The density of SAM site locations was unmatched anywhere in the world—including the U.S.S.R. itself!
Because the SAMs were so effective in 1973, many experts had come to believe that “the missile had clipped the aircraft's wings.” Few realized the intensity with which the IAF had prepared to settle the score with its ground-based adversary.
On the fourth day of the war, in a coordinated attack utilizing decoys, anti-radiation missiles and several locally developed systems, the IAF methodically destroyed every one of the threatening SAM batteries. It was almost as if fighter pilots were exacting a kind of personal revenge for the harsh treatment they had received years earlier, during the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
During the attack, the Syrians sent up dozens of interceptors. Twenty-two Mig-21's and Mig-23's were downed in mass dogfights. Stripped of its surface-to-air defense, Syria continued to flood the Bekaa Valley with fighters over the next few days. Israeli F-15's and F-16's roamed the area without fear of SAMs and raised the total number of aerial victories to about 90. Incredibly, not a single Israeli fighter was lost during the risky attack against the SAMs or in the ensuing dogfights. The IAF once again proved that it was master of the skies.

Monica Lewinsky is a social activist, a global public speaker, a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and a consultant. She advocates for a safer social media environment and addresses such topics as digital resilience + reputation, privacy, cultivating compassion, overcoming shame and equality.
Monica’s lens for these societal issues is focused by her myriad unique and profound experiences: working in government — both in the White House and the Pentagon; the investigation that resulted from her time in Washington, D.C.; involvement in media projects as both producer and subject; as an entrepreneur and designer; and lastly, education. She graduated with a degree in Psychology from Lewis & Clark College (Portland, Oregon) and, living abroad for graduate school, earned a Master’s degree in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Lewinsky became known to the public in 1998, when it was revealed as part of a federal investigation that she had had an intimate relationship with then President Bill Clinton. Overnight, at just 24 years old, she went unwillingly, from being an entirely private individual to a public figure on the global stage.
The investigation unfolded against a backdrop of a changing media landscape with the advent of both competing 24-hour News Networks and the Internet. With the birth of social media in recent years, Lewinsky saw the increasing proliferation of the perpetuation of shame and humiliation online. As someone who had experienced both, on the widest scale and at a young age, she saw that she could participate in the public discourse about online harassment and work to effect change.
In 2014, Lewinsky authored an essay, titled “Shame and Survival”, for Vanity Fair in which she overlapped personal experiences and cultural observations (June, 2014). The piece was nominated for a National Magazine Award.
In March, 2015, she was a speaker at the annual TED Conference in Vancouver. Her speech, “The Price of Shame” has been viewed over 10 million times. She has also spoken at the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit and gave the Ogilvy + Inspire Lecture at Cannes Lions.
Working with global telecommunications company, Vodafone, in 2016, Monica conceived and helped to create a suite of Anti- Bullying Emojis for Support. The #BeStrong emojis, which are a free download, make it easier to show support to targets of bullying when words sometimes fail us – especially teens.
Today Monica works with several anti-bullying organizations, including as an Ambassador to both the Diana Award’s Anti-Bullying Programme in the UK and Bystander Revolution in the US. She also supports Project Rockit, Ditch the Label, HeartMob, the Amanda Todd Legacy and The Tyler Clementi Foundation. Monica sits on the board of the Childhood Resilience Foundation. She advocates for people to #ClickWithCompassion.
She is on both Facebook and Twitter (@MonicaLewinsky).

Taiwan is world-renowned for its technology development, manufacturing, and operation ability. In the third quarter of 2022, the amount of export orders was 169.8 billion U.S. dollars, an decrease of 1.926 billion U.S. dollars over the same period last year, an annual decrease of 1.12%. The semi-conductor market share reached 26% in 2021; the productivity of the wafer foundry is the top of the world, accounting for 70% market share. IC package productivity is also number 1 in the world, accounting for about 20% market share. Therefore, Taiwan’s technology industry strength is in a leading position globally. 50% of overseas investment is concentrated in Taipei City, with nearly 70% of foreign companies based here. In addition, newly-emerging industries such as the biotechnology; service; cultural and creative; and meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) industries have developed rapidly in recent years, receiving a lot of attention and positive recognition in international markets.

There are 7,896 registered ICT companies in Taipei City generating production revenue of US$20.4 billion (NT$612 billion). Over 130 thousand are employed in cloud services and tech support fields. Among these, top corporations such as Microsoft, IBM, HP, Yahoo, Google, and Cisco have invested funds and set up offices, making Taipei the first choice for domestic and overseas investment in the ICT industry. Situated on the edge of the city, the Neihu Technology Park and Nangang Software Park possess excellent geographical locations with a convenient transportation network, comprehensive living facilities, and government policy support. The two parks house one-third of all corporate headquarters and R&D centers in Taipei City.
Development Advantages
Currently, there are two major industrial parks located in Taipei, which hold leading positions nationwide in terms of both output and total workforce, as well as an important position in global tech supply chains. Key development aspects:
The Neihu Technology Park is already home to over 4,000 companies, with around 130,000 corporate employees and an annual production value of NT$3.9 trillion. With the advent of the new economy, Neihu Technology Park is under pressure to innovate and transform. Using Neihu Technology Park as the core, the Taipei City Government will expand to six major city-owned properties including the Dawan South Section Industrial Zone, Neihu 5th Redevelopment Zone, and Luzhou Village Industrial Zone; these areas will be used to plan innovative corporate R&D as well as new industries. Through the integration of innovative industries and the Park's existing foundation, new opportunities can be created which will drive the overall industry to connect with global industry trends.

Taipei City will shortly begin promotion of the Neihu Technology Park Verson 2.0 that will utilize current city government real estate to attract newly emerging industries such as cloud computing, IoT, self-driving vehicles, and green energy. Promotion of the Beitou Shilin Technology Park project will begin in 2019, and promotion of the Ecological Shezidao project will start in 2025. These will play key roles as bases for the ICT and biotech/healthcare industries.
Biotech Industry
Taipei is the national hub for biotechnology and medical research. Academia Sinica and eight major medical centers are located in Taipei, while more than 20 universities and vocational colleges in the city have biotech departments. This means Taipei City has a high concentration of scientific research talent, attracting hundreds of biotech companies to set up shop in Taipei, including from sectors such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, healthcare and functional foods. The biotech industry in Taipei generates more than 50% of total nationwide revenue for the industry, with 28% of the workforce, giving it a leading position in the industry nationwide.
A high concentration of venture capital and financial headquarters:Due to the special characteristics of the biotech industry, it needs continuous capital investment. Taipei City is the financial center of Taiwan, with 90% of the country’s venture capital organizations and 85% of its investment bank head offices.
Complete start-up incubation eco-system:The advantages of being near an urban area include entrepreneurial investment, R&D companies, start-up incubation and talent development organizations, industry supply chain systems, and a fully-provisioned clinical trials market. Together these form a comprehensive ecosystem.
Mature clinical healthcare market: There are 10 medical centers are located in Taipei, forming a comprehensive healthcare system. Together with Taiwan's world-famous National Health Insurance program, this drives the development of the biotech/healthcare market.
In the future, the city will move forward with the Nangang Biotech cluster plan. Located near the Nangang MRT Station, it will serve as a bridge between research results from Academia Sinica and the National Biotechnology Research Park. The plan will satisfy the research and manufacturing needs of clinical medical trials, and link up with the services of the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Food and Drug Administration and Center for Drug Evaluation. Taipei is also planning the Nangang Conference Center, Zhongxiao Campus, and Nangang Airport as bases to attract biotech companies and create a comprehensive biotech cluster.

Benson, Ezra Taft
by Chris Cumo
(August 4, 1899 - May 30, 1994)
Agricultural economist, former Secretary of Agriculture under President Eisenhower, and first president of the Mormon church to hold a graduate degree, which he obtained at ISC.
Source: https://speeches.byu.edu/speakers/ezra-taft-benson/
Born in Whitney, Idaho, Ezra Taft Benson’s birth was difficult. Both he and his mother nearly died. Both survived, and Benson would be the eldest of eleven children. The parents named him after a great grandfather who had been among the early Mormon leaders. The young child could trace his lineage to a Revolutionary War veteran.
Benson’s family owned a 40-acre farm, and in this environment arose Benson’s interest in agriculture. The family raised livestock, sugar beets, potatoes and wheat. By age 4 Benson was helping on the farm. During his years on the farm came momentous changes: indoor plumbing, the telephone, and electricity. The family was close, and Benson recalled his childhood as a mix of work and leisure. Devout Mormons, the parents baptized and confirmed him on his eighth birthday. By age 15 Benson had ingrained the habit of reading scripture daily. He entered elementary school at age 8, and then studied at Oneida Stake Academy, a high school, in Preston, Idaho. Because of his height he excelled at basketball. From his youth Benson was an avid reader, though he confined himself chiefly to religious tracts. He was also a boy scout and scoutmaster. Graduating high school in 1918, he joined the Army at the height of the influenza pandemic. He survived but several of his military comrades died.
In 1919 Benson entered Utah State Agricultural College, now Utah State University, where he met and later married Flora Amussen. In 1921 the Mormon church elevated Benson to elder. He served as a missionary to England, many of whose residents were hostile to Mormonism. Returning to the United States in 1923 Benson transferred to Brigham Young University, where he majored in animal husbandry and marketing, graduated with honors in 1926, and won a scholarship to pursue graduate studies at Iowa State College, now Iowa State University, from which he earned an M.S. in agricultural economics. He would later become the first president of the Mormon church to hold a graduate degree. Ezra and Flora returned to Whitney, where they bought his parents’ farm. The couple kept chickens, pigs, and cattle.
His success as a farmer led to his appointment as an agricultural extension agent in Franklin County, Utah. In 1929 the University of Idaho hired Benson to chair the new Department of Agricultural Economics and Marketing in Boise, Idaho. He used his marketing skills to raise national awareness of Idaho as a potato producing state. Curiously he did not like New Deal farm policies, despite their success. In 1939 Benson became secretary of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives in Washington, D.C. In this role he befriended members of Congress and was frequently invited to testify as an expert on farm policies. In 1943 the Mormon church elevated Benson to apostle, the youngest person so ordained. In this role he toured missions in war torn Europe and helped resettle refugees from Poland in Allied held lands.
In 1953 President Dwight D. Eisenhower named Benson Secretary of Agriculture, making him the first Mormon to hold a cabinet post. He came to this position with the conservative belief that the federal government should grow no larger. He believed that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) too closely regulated farming. His religious fervor led Benson to inject piety into the federal government. At Benson’s suggestion, Eisenhower devoted several minutes at Friday morning cabinet meetings to silent prayer. Under Benson’s guidance, prayer opened Thursday staff meetings at the USDA. One of Benson’s subordinates Earl Butz, who would later become Secretary of Agriculture, recalled Benson’s piety. He worked to make the USDA more efficient and less costly to operate. He convinced President Eisenhower and a majority in Congress to diminish price supports to farmers, a move that angered farmers. Liberals in Congress disliked Benson for this reason, making the secretary a controversial figure in Eisenhower’s administration.
Nonetheless Benson had a close relationship with Eisenhower and was the lone cabinet member to serve all 8 years of Eisenhower’s presidency. Moreover, Flora formed a friendship with Mamie Eisenhower, the president’s wife. As Secretary of Agriculture, Benson directed farmers to take marginal land out of production to conserve land and reduce the glut of food on the market. Benson did not confine his duties to agriculture, but worked with Eisenhower on several fronts. Benson wrote a speech, which the president delivered, condemning Soviet brutality in Hungary. Benson’s hostility toward the Soviet Union arose from his suspicion of communism, which he thought threatened religious and intellectual freedom. In addition to Eisenhower, Benson forged a close relationship with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. The two shared similar religious beliefs. When Soviet premiere Nikita Khrushchev visited the United Stats, Benson took him on a tour of the research complex in Beltsville, Maryland.
Benson’s departure from the USDA at the end of Eisenhower’s presidency led him to resume work for the Mormon church. Holding positions of increasing responsibility, Benson in 1985 became the 13th president of the church. During his presidency he promoted missionary work, prayer, and good works. Benson urged Mormons to read the Book of Mormon frequently. During his presidency, the Mormon church expanded worldwide, winning large numbers of converts in Eastern Europe. As president he promoted freedom worldwide. During his lifetime he received numerous awards and eleven honorary degrees from universities.
Having lived a long life, Ezra Taft Benson died May 30, 1994 in Salt Lake City.

Lyric to Stage Frost/Nixon at Plaza Theatre
Politics and the press will collide next month as Lyric Theatre presents the Oklahoma City premiere of Frost/Nixon.
The play by Peter Morgan is based on a series of televised interviews that former U.S. President Richard Nixon granted British broadcaster David Frost in 1977 about his administration, including his role in the Watergate scandal.
Frost/Nixon opens Wednesday, September 4, running through Sunday, September 22, at Lyric at the Plaza, 1725 NW 16 St. It stars Oklahoma theatre favorites Matthew Alvin Brown as Frost and D. Lance Marsh as Nixon.
Morgan’s script gives theatre-goers a behind-the-scenes look at one of the nation’s most memorable moments between a U.S. president and the media. British talk-show host Frost has become a lowbrow laughingstock and Nixon has just resigned as president disgraced over Vietnam and the Watergate scandal. Determined to resurrect his career, Frost risks everything on a series of in-depth interviews in order to extract an apology for the American people from Nixon. However, Nixon is equally bent on redeeming himself in his nation’s eyes. In the television age, image is king, and both men are desperate to out-talk and upstage each other as the cameras roll. The result is the interview that sealed a president’s legacy.
The play originally premiered in London in August 2006 and opened on Broadway the following year, earning three Tony Award nominations, including one win for Frank Langella as Nixon for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play. Langella subsequently received the Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award for the same role. Ron Howard, a Hollywood director originally from Oklahoma, directed the 2008 film adaptation of the play of the same title, which reunited its original stage stars, Langella as Nixon and Michael Sheen as Frost.
In addition to the casting of Brown and Marsh, Lyric’s production of Frost/Nixon includes Rodney Brazil (Manolo Sanchez), Ronn Burton (Swifty Lazar and Mike Wallace), David H. Dobson (John Birt), Jonathan Beck Reed (Bob Zelnick), Emily J. Pace (Caroline Cushing), Gregory DeCandia (Jim Reston), Andi Dema (Jack Brennan) and Kaylila Pasha (Evonne Goolagong).
Frost/Nixon features lighting design by Stephen King, set design by Dawn Drake and costumes by Lyric’s Resident Costume Designer Jeffrey Meek. The production will be stage-managed by Laurena Sherrill.
Single tickets to Frost/Nixon start at just $25. This show contains strong language and mature. For more information, visit LyricTheatreOKC.org or call Lyric’s box office at (405) 524-9312.

Part of Venice International Film Festival
Film project IT’S A BOY (INSHALLAH WALAD), by Amjad Al-Rasheed, competes at the Final Cut in Venice Workshop, which is part of the activities of the 79th Venice International Film Festival (August 31-Sep.10). This year the festival is headed by superstar Julianne Moore.
The Final Cut in Venice workshop supports films in the post-production stage from Africa, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria. The film selections are screened to an audience of producers, distributors, and programmers of international film festivals. The workshop concludes with an award ceremony to honor the winning films that will be supported through the post-production phase.
IT’S A BOY (INSHALLAH WALAD) received a grant from Cairo Film Connection of Cairo International Film Festival and from the Red Sea Fund, during the 1st edition of Red Sea International Film Festival. Furthermore, the project got production and post-production support from the Royal Film Commission in two cycles, in addition to production support from the Doha Film Institute.
The film follows Nawal who suddenly loses her husband and finds herself facing society and its laws. However, things turn upside down when she gives birth to a boy.
Directed by Amjad Al-Rasheed who co-wrote the film with Delphine Augte and Rula Nasser, IT’S A BOY stars Muna Hawa, Haitham Omari, Salwa Nakkara, Yumna Marwan, Mohammad Al Jizawi and Eslam Al Awadi. The film was produced by Imaginarium Films (Rula Nasser and Aseel Abu Ayyash) in collaboration with Bayt Al Shawareb (Theeb, The Alleys), while MAD Solutions and Lagoonie Film Production are in charge of its distribution throughout the Arab world.
It's worth mentioning that IT'S A BOY is not Amjad's first collaboration with MAD; the latter handled the distribution for his short film The Parrot with Darren Salam, which received several international awards, including the Jury Award for Best Short Film at the Mizna’s Twin Cities Arab Film Festival in the USA and Malmö Arab Film Festival. Moreover, the film landed its world premiere at the 2016 Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) and is now available on OSN.
Amjad Al-Rasheed is a Jordanian director who holds an MFA from the Red Sea Institute of Cinematic Arts (RSICA). After receiving the Best Scenarist Award for short fiction at the First Film Production competition in Amman in 2005, Amjad started working as director, producer and production designer on music videos, short and feature films. In 2007, he attended Berlinale Talents at the 57th Berlinale Film Festival.
Amjad Al-Rasheed also directed Hit The Road, a World Economic Forum (WEF) commercial film supported by the King Abdullah II Center for Excellence, the Royal Film Commission.
His directing credits include five short films that screened at international film festivals. In 2013, he directed the Jordanian comedy series The Rania Show. In 2016, he was listed on ScreenDaily's 'Arab Stars of Tomorrow' among five emerging film talents from the Arab world.
Rula Nasser is a Jordanian independent producer, with experience in all aspects of production ranging from commercials, TV series, low-budget movies, and big-budget businesses.

UPCOMING PROGRAMMING
“New York ALIVE” — January 30th 2021
Sebring Revolution and D A N C E L I V E present new works by choreographer Joshua Beamish featuring world-renowned dancers Herman Cornejo and Skylar Brandt, both principal dancers with American Ballet Theatre.
The program consists of two pieces: A pas de deux, by Joshua Beamish, accompanied by an original score by Peter Sparacino, and a solo piece created and performed by Herman Cornejo, set to George Gershwin’s iconic “Rhapsody in Blue” as performed by internationally renowned pianist Horacio Lavandera.

Interview with Herman Cornejo about “New York ALIVE”
“The two pieces exude a sense of rebirth,” explains Herman Cornejo. Reflecting on the inspiration behind the program’s score, he adds, “I thought of Gershwin’s epic “Rhapsody in Blue.” Its incredible power made me feel New York’s wonderful energy all over again—that feeling that anything is possible [here]—and I recovered hope.”
As for the role of art in the midst of a global pandemic: “As artists, we know the reason this city will endure: the timeless energy that nurtures its creative impulse. New York has so many facets; when art cannot be presented in big theaters or museums, it starts to filter out and develop in the most incredible ways and forms in the most uncommon places. Creativity means moving forward. It has the power of healing and it wraps you up with faith. With this show we intend to generate a relief for the soul and give creativity its momentum again. These performances are born hand in hand with the creation of the new company D A N C E L I V E by Herman Cornejo, in partnership with the amazing Steven Sebring, who gives a revolutionary twist to everything he touches.”
STEVEN SEBRING, an Emmy-nominated director, photographer and self-proclaimed photo scientist, is the creator of SEBRING REVOLUTION, a media company of artists and technicians using cutting-edge proprietary camera technologies to create immersive and interactive storytelling experiences.
For more than twenty-five years, Steven Sebring has collaborated with innovators in the realms of fashion, music, art, sports and film.

HERMAN CORNEJO, according to The New Yorker, is “the most technically accomplished male ballet dancer in the United States.” Known also for his on-stage charisma, he was described by critic Claudia La Rocco as "not a fairy-tale prince," but "something more interesting, and more useful, really, for ballet: a believable, 21st-century hero." During his legendary twenty-plus-year career at American Ballet Theatre, the Argentinian-born principal dancer garnered universal acclaim and numerous awards. Today, he continues to develop his art, exploring the infinite possibilities of dance with the perspective of both a dancer and director, knowing that live dance has the power to transport both dancers and audiences to another dimension. Dance created a world for him to exist; Now, he is creating a new world for dance.
Herman Cornejo has performed on numerous stages around the world as guest artist, including New York City Ballet, Boston Ballet, La Scala de Milan, Bolshoi Ballet of Moscow, The Mariinsky Ballet of St. Petersburg, Kremlin Ballet, Dortmund Ballet, Hamburg Ballet, National Ballet of Japan, Universal Ballet of Korea, Teatro Colon of Argentina, among many others. He has won more than 20 international awards during his career, since he started off professionally at the age of 14: Gold Medal at the international Moscow competition in 1997; The Star award of the 21st Century in New York 2005; Best World Dancer, “Prix Benois de la danse” in Moscow 2005 & 2014; Mr. Expressivity award in St.Petersburg 2010 & 2013; New York Dance Outstanding Performer “The Bessies Award” 2013; Best World Male Dancer, the “Positano Award” in Italy 2018 and The Best Argentine Dancer of the decade “The Platinum Konex” in 2019. Also in 2019 he celebrated his 20th Anniversary with the American Ballet Theatre, one of the most acclaimed ballet companies in the world.
After a long, celebrated professional journey, Cornejo is thrilled to continue his artistic practice and enrich his contribution to the history of the arts
through D A N C E L I V E.

BIO BASE OILS MARKET SEGMENT ANALYSIS:
The global bio base oil market is classified based on type, application and region.
The extensive expansion of the automotive sector provided a lucrative market demand for automotive oils, thus allowing the respective segment to dominate the application segment of the global bio base oils market
In order to reduce friction between the parts of the engine assembly and transmission, automotive oil is used in the transmission chamber and engine of the vehicle. The engine oil’s secondary purpose is to maintain the engine chamber’s temperature and stop oxidation from causing engine parts to rust. These oils are made from petroleum that has undergone additional processing to improve engine oil quality. One of the key factors propelling the growth of the automotive oil market is the global expansion of the automotive industry. Spark plugs are widely used in electrical, marine and aerospace applications, which benefits the market. The market is also influenced by the rising demand for conventional oil, which is more in demand because it is less expensive than modern lubricants. The popularity of synthetic lubricants can be attributed to their superior performance and long-lasting better protection. The automotive oil market is also benefited from the growth of the automotive industry, a surge in investments and rising disposable income.
Engine oils, frequently used to lubricate internal combustion engines, are primarily composed of basic oils (75%–90%) and additives (10%–25%). These additives are widely used in the automotive and other transportation sectors worldwide. Engine oil usage has three main advantages: improved engine performance, protection against corrosion and reduced wear and tear. In order to enhance heat transfer and reduce strain when the moving parts come into contact, these oils work by forming a thin coating between them.
The market is being driven by the quickly expanding automotive production across the globe due to the high demand for affordable and fuel-efficient vehicles and automotive technological advancements. The International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) estimates that in 2021, automotive production will increase by 3% in China, 12% in Brazil, 30% in India and 4% in U.S. In 2021, vehicle sales were higher across major regions globally. China maintained its position as the world’s largest and best-performing single-country auto market, with sales rising 6.6% to more than 21 million vehicles. The FUCHS expanded its specialty business in June 2021 by acquiring Gleitmo Technik AB’s lubricants division. Its acquisition would increase the company’s customer base, product line and market expansion. A partnership for industrial lubricants in Australia was established under the terms of the MoU, which was signed in November 2020 with PT Pertamina.

Antiplatelet and Anticoagulant Treatments for Unstable Angina/Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Comparative Effectiveness Review Number 129
by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services , Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) encompasses three similar yet distinct disorders: (1) ST–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), (2) non–ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and (3) unstable angina (UA). These disorders are often collapsed into just two categories—STEMI and UA/NSTEMI—because UA and NSTEMI have a similar pathophysiology, mortality rate, and management strategy when compared with STEMI. In the United States, approximately 1.4 million people are diagnosed with ACS each year, and 70 percent of them have UA/NSTEMI. UA/NSTEMI is defined by the presence of ischemic chest pain (or an equivalent), the notable absence of ST segment elevation on electrocardiography, and the presence of either ST segment depression or T-wave inversion on electrocardiography and/or abnormal cardiac biomarkers. The pathophysiology of UA/NSTEMI involves six possible etiologies: (1) thrombus arising from a disrupted or eroded plaque, (2) thromboembolism from an erosive plaque, (3) dynamic obstruction (such as coronary spasm), (4) progressive mechanical obstruction, (5) inflammation, or (6) coronary artery dissection. Most patients with UA/NSTEMI have thrombus formation or progressive arterial narrowing that leads to subtotal occlusion of an epicardial coronary artery. The difference between UA and NSTEMI is based on the presence of myocardial necrosis or infarction as suggested by serum tests such as creatine kinase-myocardial band, troponin I, or troponin T in NSTEMI. The standard treatment goals for patients with UA/NSTEMI involve the elimination of ischemic pain and the prevention of adverse events—death, recurrent ischemia, or myocardial infarction (MI). The cornerstone of short- and long-term treatment in all cases is medical therapy with antiplatelet and anticoagulant medications. Antiplatelet medications work by decreasing platelet aggregation and inhibiting thrombus formation. The timing of initiation of antiplatelet therapy in patients presenting with UA/NSTEMI is broadly classified as upstream if the therapy is initiated after admission but prior to cardiac catheterization or periprocedural if the agent is initiated at the time of or during the procedure. Antiplatelet therapy initiated during a hospitalization for UA/NSTEMI and continued for long-term management has been shown to reduce future cardiovascular events. Anticoagulant medications work by inhibiting blood clotting, either by antagonizing the effects of vitamin K or by blocking/inhibiting thrombin. The use of a parenteral anticoagulant, traditionally heparin, is standard treatment for patients hospitalized with ACS, and newer anticoagulants have been developed that improve outcomes, with similar or reduced bleeding risk compared with heparin. By virtue of its ability to inhibit factors associated with thrombosis and to reduce ischemic outcomes, each antiplatelet or anticoagulant agent has the potential to increase the risk of bleeding. The tradeoff between reduced ischemic risk and increased bleeding risk has been highlighted in a number of recent large clinical trials that evaluated antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies, as discussed below. Despite these recent data, a number of questions remain about the use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents, including the optimal dosing of certain agents and the timing of their use, and whether certain agents might be preferred for specific subgroups of patients. There are a number of challenges in determining optimal medical management in patients with UA/NSTEMI.

Dr. Moniri’s research interests focus on pharmacology and biochemistry of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). These cell-surface receptors comprise the largest gene family in the human genome and also represent the largest class of drug targets, accounting for roughly 40-50% of drugs used clinically today. By coupling intracellularly to heterotrimeric G proteins, GPCRs are able to transduce signals from a variety of extracellular stimuli, including neurotransmitters, hormones, and sensory stimuli. We are currently recruiting ambitious and motivated Ph.D. students to join the lab.
Laboratory Research Focus Areas:
Project 1 - The role of phosphorylation in regulating the antidiabetic effects of FFA4 (GPR120)
FFA4, formerly referred to as GPR120, is a recently indentified unsaturated free-fatty acid receptor that recognizes long-chained fatty acids, including the omega-3-fatty acids a-linolenic acid (ALA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Agonism of FFA4 has been shown to promote profound anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects. Specifically, FFA4 agonism has been linked to secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and downstream insulin release, and has also been shown to play major roles in thwarting insulin resistance, inflammation, and weight gain. As such, FFA4 has drawn considerable interest as a target for treatment of type-2 diabetes and obesity.
Through NIH-funded grant support, our laboratory is interested in studying the mechanisms by which FFA4 is regulated. In particular, our laboratory is interested in studying the role that FFA4-phosphorylation plays in regulating its anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects.
In addition, we are interested in identification and characterization of potential endogenous or dietary ligands, as well as development of novel synthetic ligands as modulators of FFA4 function. These efforts, along with characterization of FFA4 biochemistry and intracellular signaling cascades will provide a mechanistic basis for rationale drug design to treat disorders such as diabetes and obesity. Projects will encompass a broad spectrum of biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences including in vitro and in vivo pharmacology, molecular biology, biochemistry and medicinal chemistry.
Project 2 - β2-Adrenergic Receptors and Reactive Oxygen Species
The β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) is one of the best characterized GPCRs, mediating physiological responses to epinephrine and norepinephrine. Many β2-receptor acting agents are utilized in the clinical therapy of asthma, COPD, and emphysema. While the effects of activation of β2-receptors have been studied in great detail, our laboratory is interested in a more recently linked aspect of β2-receptor signaling, namely, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Our studies have shown that agonist-stimulation of β2AR leads to generation of intracellular ROS, formation of which is required for G protein-dependent signaling. We have also recently demonstrated that ROS are capable of feeding back to oxidize β2AR cysteine residues to S-Sulfenic acids, suggesting ROS-mediated post-translational modification of the receptor. We are interested in further understanding the impact of ROS on β2AR signaling within physiological systems, particularly in the human airway. This project relies heavily on in vitro pharmacology and molecular biology, as well as medicinal chemistry.
Project 3 - The role of FFA receptors in human health and diseases
We are currently investigating the role of FFA receptors, namely FFA1 and FFA4, which are agonized by long-chain FFA inlcuding omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids in a variety of human systems, including neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's Disease, pulmonary diseases such as asthma, as well as in cancers. These projects rely heavily on in vitro pharmacology and molecular biology. | 2023-14/0005/en_head.json.gz/23070 | {"url": "http://faculty.mercer.edu/moniri_nh/research.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "faculty.mercer.edu", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:44:51Z", "digest": "sha1:U5USWWX6BEPDUJU52FWJO7GZBUXJWK5V"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3889, 3889.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3889, 4132.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3889, 11.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3889, 21.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3889, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3889, 173.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3889, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3889, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3889, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3889, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3889, 0.29148629]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3889, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3889, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3889, 0.07415451]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3889, 0.05274589]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3889, 0.05274589]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3889, 0.02916537]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3889, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3889, 0.0186162]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3889, 0.00837729]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3889, 0.02327025]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3889, 0.04617605]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3889, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3889, 0.18759019]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3889, 0.48994516]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3889, 5.89213894]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3889, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3889, 5.10107227]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3889, 547.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 588, 1.0], [588, 621, 0.0], [621, 717, 0.0], [717, 1409, 1.0], [1409, 1686, 1.0], [1686, 2276, 1.0], [2276, 2340, 0.0], [2340, 2807, 1.0], [2807, 3422, 1.0], [3422, 3489, 0.0], [3489, 3889, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 588, 0.0], [588, 621, 0.0], [621, 717, 0.0], [717, 1409, 0.0], [1409, 1686, 0.0], [1686, 2276, 0.0], [2276, 2340, 0.0], [2340, 2807, 0.0], [2807, 3422, 0.0], [3422, 3489, 0.0], [3489, 3889, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 588, 82.0], [588, 621, 4.0], [621, 717, 14.0], [717, 1409, 96.0], [1409, 1686, 37.0], [1686, 2276, 81.0], [2276, 2340, 8.0], [2340, 2807, 66.0], [2807, 3422, 87.0], [3422, 3489, 12.0], [3489, 3889, 60.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 588, 0.00702988], [588, 621, 0.0], [621, 717, 0.05494505], [717, 1409, 0.01669196], [1409, 1686, 0.00743494], [1686, 2276, 0.00344234], [2276, 2340, 0.03333333], [2340, 2807, 0.01113586], [2807, 3422, 0.00499168], [3422, 3489, 0.015625], [3489, 3889, 0.01298701]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 588, 0.0], [588, 621, 0.0], [621, 717, 0.0], [717, 1409, 0.0], [1409, 1686, 0.0], [1686, 2276, 0.0], [2276, 2340, 0.0], [2340, 2807, 0.0], [2807, 3422, 0.0], [3422, 3489, 0.0], [3489, 3889, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 588, 0.02891156], [588, 621, 0.12121212], [621, 717, 0.08333333], [717, 1409, 0.0433526], [1409, 1686, 0.03971119], [1686, 2276, 0.01525424], [2276, 2340, 0.09375], [2340, 2807, 0.03426124], [2807, 3422, 0.04065041], [3422, 3489, 0.07462687], [3489, 3889, 0.04]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3889, 0.65774071]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3889, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3889, 0.28662848]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3889, -232.98426546]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3889, -28.9478755]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3889, 20.68624205]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3889, 25.0]]} |

Biography Hildur Guðnadóttir
Hildur Guðnadóttir
(b. 1982) is a cellist and composer. Best known for her collaborations with múm and guest appearances with Pan Sonic, she has a rich catalogue of collaborations and varied projects behind her.
Guðnadóttir began playing cello as a child, entered the Reykjavík Music Academy and then moved on to musical studies/composition and new media at the Iceland Academy of the Arts and Universitat der Kunste in Berlin. Back in Iceland, she became very active in the neu-Iceland scene as a member of Kitchen Motors, a Reykjavík based think tank, record label and an art collective along with internationally renowned composer Jóhann Jóhannsson.
In 2004, she started playing with the band Angel (Ilpo Väisänen and Dirk Dresslehaus). Around that time she made an album with Dirk (Mr. Schmuck´s farm), and went on to play live Pan Sonic, later collaborating on their album Cathodephase.
She released her first solo album, Mount A, under the artist name Lost in the Hildurness, on the Reykjavík based label 12 Tónar in 2006. The album was recorded in New York City, and at ‘Hólar in Hjaltadalur’, a historic spot in Iceland with a house named Audunarstofa. The old house is constructed from Norwegian wood and was chosen for its excellent cello acoustics. Guðnadóttir played all the instruments on the album – vibraphone, viola da gamba, harp and vocals.
Guðnadóttir is a member of Storsveit Nix Noltes (The Nix Noltes Big Band), a rotating cast of 7 to 10 Icelanders playing traditional Bulgarian and Greek dance music. The group has toured the US twice supporting Animal Collective.
She has also played frequently with field recording artist and performer BJ Nilsen; delicate duets that conjure somber rapture of multi tracked cello - Guðnadóttir’s live playing augmented by laptop loops. Guðnadóttir has collaborated, played and recorded with other artists such as Skúli Sverrisson, Hilmar Jensson, Hafler Trio, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Nico Muhly, Valgeir Sigurdsson, Angel, Schneider™, Ben Frost and Stilluppsteypa.

MC 16 – Roberta Alexander and Andrea Chenoweth
*Roberta Alexander*
Among the most compelling singing actresses of our time, the admired black American soprano, Roberta Alexander, enjoys international renown for her riveting, incisive characterizations, miraculous vocal and dramatic range. She was reared in a musical family. She studied at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor from 1969 to 1971, receiving M. Music in 1971, and with Herman Woltman at the Royal Conservatory of Music at The Hague.
Roberta Alexander appeared as Pamina at the Houston Grand Opera in 1980, as Daphne in Santa Fe in 1981, and as Elettra in Idomeneo in Zürich in 1982. Following a tour of Europe, she made a successful debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York as Zerlina in November 1983. Among the operatic heroines she has unforgettably portrayed are the title role of Janacek’s Jenufa (a Glyndebourne production), Mimì in Puccini’s La Bohème, and especially the great Mozart heroines: Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte, Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni and Vitellia in Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito. In January 1999, Roberta Alexander sang concert performances of Jenufa, Act 2 with Sir Simon Rattle and the Philadelphia Orchestra, in Philadelphia and at New York’s Carnegie Hall. Other recent North American highlights includes a Washington, D.C. recital on the distinguished Vocal Arts Society series and Britten’s War Requiem with the Utah Symphony under its Music Director Keith Lockhart, both receiving rapturous critical acclaim.
She has also performed with the Vienna, London and Royal Philharmonics; Royal Concertgebouw, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Bavarian Radio Orchestras; Cincinnati, Atlanta and Dallas Symphonies; and collaborated with such distinguished conductors as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Andrew Litton, Bernard Haitink, Sir Colin Davis, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, James Levine, Zubin Mehta, Carlo Maria Giulini, Leonard Slatkin, Jesus Lopez-Cobos, Edo De Waart and David Zinman. She recently reunited with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra for Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Night’s Dream and Tchaikovsky’s Romeo & Juliet and the rapturously-received world premiere of Kirchner’s Of things exactly as they are. In addition she sang Copland’s In the Beginning with Michael Tilson Thomas conducting the San Francisco Symphony.
An uncommonly communicative recitalist, Roberta Alexander has offered acclaimed programs at New York’s Carnegie Recital Hall, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, the Vienna Musikverein, London’s Wigmore Hall and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. An especially ardent and persuasive interpreter of American masterworks, her latest recordings include Songs My Mother Taught Me and With You (the latter an anthology of Broadway songs).

Nissan develops world first analysis technique for better lithium ion battery durability
YOKOHAMA, Japan - Can the battery performance of electric vehicles be improved by observing electrons? Nissan sought an answer to this question through an advanced research project in partnership with universities in Japan. The result: Nissan Motor Company and its affiliate Nissan Arc Ltd. today announced the development of the world's first analysis method that enables direct observation of electron activity in the cathode material of lithium ion batteries during charging and discharging.
Applying this analysis technique to future research and design of battery materials could enable Nissan researchers to develop high-capacity and high-durability batteries that may extend the driving distance of zero emission EVs and improve their durability.
Nissan Arc Ltd., a 100-percent subsidiary of Nissan Motor Company, developed the analysis method in a joint R&D effort with Tokyo University, Kyoto University and Osaka Prefecture University. The newly developed technique provides an accurate depiction of how electrons are emitted from certain elements that constitute the cathode material of lithium ion batteries when charging and discharging.
Takao Asami, Nissan senior vice president and president of Nissan Arc Ltd., said: "Creating this analysis technique was a major step toward the further development of high-capacity, next-generation lithium ion batteries. It will play an important part in our future R&D aimed at extending the driving range of future zero emission vehicles."
In order to develop high capacity, long-life lithium ion batteries, the maximum possible amount of lithium must be stored in the electrode's active material, which allows it to generate the highest possible number of electrons. To develop such a material, an accurate reading of the electron activity inside the battery is essential. Existing analysis methods did not allow researchers to observe the movement of electrons. It was not possible to determine how the various electrodes' active material - i.e. manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), oxygen (O) - was emitting electrons and how many electrons were actually being emitted.
The newly developed analysis method combines x-ray absorption spectroscopy¹ that utilizes L-absorption edges² and the first principle calculation³ from Japan's Earth Simulator supercomputer?.
X-ray absorption spectroscopy had been used in the past to analyze batteries. However, the majority of this analysis was done using K-absorption edges that can only observe restrained electrons in the atom (electrons that are not involved in the charging and discharging due to the vicinity to the nucleus) and not the actual electrons involved in cell reaction. By applying x-ray absorption spectroscopy that utilizes L-absorption edges, electrons that were directly involved with the cell reaction can be observed. Accurate analysis of the amount of electron mobility is made possible by combining the observation results with first principle calculations from the Earth Simulator supercomputer.
For years scientists have wanted to understand the origin of electrons during charging and discharging, and this newly-developed analysis method finally makes it possible. Scientists can observe the exact phenomenon inside a battery cell, especially the behavior of active materials of electrodes, permitting further study of better-performing, longer-lasting electrode materials.
Nissan Arc has used the new analysis technique to investigate lithium-rich high-capacity electrode materials, which are considered promising agents to increase energy density by 150 percent. The analysis revealed that at a high potential state, electrons originating from oxygen were active during charging. Meanwhile, electrons that originated from manganese were observed to be active during the discharge reaction. These findings were a big step forward toward the commercial development of lithium-rich electrode materials, which can produce higher-capacity, long-lasting batteries.
*1 X-ray absorption spectroscopy: An analysis method of electronic state and local structure of materials obtained by measuring the increase x-ray absorption energy (absorption edge) after irradiating variant strength x-rays.
*2 Absorption edge: The x-ray absorption value of energy (wavelength) that abruptly increases when the x-ray energy (wavelength) is changed. It is referred to as the K-absorption edge or L-absorption edge depending on the electron orbit.
*3 First Principle Calculation: A calculation method of electronic states without the use of experimental values.
*4 Earth Simulator: A supercomputer owned by the Japan Marine Science and Technology Center (JAMSTEC) originally developed to evaluate global environments.

To collaborate with Corinthians, a Brazilian football team, Joorabchian established Media Sports Investments in 2004. He had briefly pondered joining the Arsenal team but decided it would be too expensive.
Instead, Pini Zahavi, the so-called “super agent,” who Joorabchian identified in 2006 as a longtime friend, suggested he look into Brazilian football. Pelé’s agent also recommended it.
In exchange for a 51% stake in future profits over ten years, MSI would contribute $35 million, of which $20 million would be used to pay off debt.
When Joorabchian went to Brazil, he altered the way Corinthians was run, resulting in a 500% increase in revenue in the first year.
Kia Joorabchian Net Worth:
The estimated net worth of Kia Joorabchian is $5 million.
Kia Joorabchian Social Media:
Kia Joorabchain Social media handle hasn’t been confirmed yet.
According to a Financial Times probe into Joorabchian’s other business interests in 2006, Joorabchian was registered as a director of eleven UK companies, including Karma Racing, a horse racing organization, and Karma, a kickboxing club in Chalk Farm, London. At the time, Greens of Rainham, a car dealership, was his biggest stake declared.

The ability to rapidly transmit information to the far reaches of the world is a feature of modern society that is often taken for granted. Governments, commercial enterprises, and private citizens have become dependent on vast global telecommunications networks composed of undersea fiber optic cables, terrestrial cellular towers, and satellites in space. Though much of this infrastructure is largely invisible, any significant disruption to it could bring critical economic and national security functions to a standstill. By the late nineteenth century, Britain had emerged as the world leader in telecommunications through its dominance of an elaborate global network of undersea cables that bolstered its economic and military power. Similarly, the American monopoly over satellite communications in the early years of the space age was intimately tied to US interests in the global Cold War.
In Beyond Sputnik and the Space Race: The Origins of Global Satellite Communications, Hugh R. Slotten explores the creation in 1964 of Intelsat, a US-led satellite communications network open to all countries of the world. The advent of the space age with the launch of Sputnik in 1957 quickly transformed the cosmos into a superpower battleground for prestige through the pursuit of large-scale space projects aimed at winning the hearts and minds of people around the world. Simultaneously, space technologies catalyzed the projection of hard power. Rockets used to send astronauts and cosmonauts into space could also deliver nuclear warheads across the world. Reconnaissance satellites permitted the United States to overfly the Iron Curtain and stay abreast of Soviet military developments. Slotten compellingly shows how space exploration, national security, and international communications became closely linked in the foreign policy agenda of President John F. Kennedy, thereby creating the impetus to form Intelsat.
Slotten embraces the social construction of the technology framework to explain the choices that led to the establishment of Intelsat in 1964. To this end, he frames Intelsat as a global infrastructure project driven by the US aim to assert its geopolitical leadership. Slotten is intentional with his use of the term “global,” rather than “international,” because Kennedy sought to establish a satellite communications system with the potential to benefit all countries, especially those in the Global South. Consequently, the study of Intelsat’s formation underscores the significance of North-South as well as East-West tensions during the Cold War. Kennedy’s goal of a truly global system turned out to be only aspirational in the early years of Intelsat since negotiations concerning its establishment were dominated by the United States and Western European countries.
Exploring the history of Intelsat highlights the singular importance of an invisible resource on which all communications systems depend: the electromagnetic spectrum. To create a global satellite communications network, the US government had to persuade the users of the congested electromagnetic spectrum, many of whom would not have their own space capabilities, to set aside frequencies tied to proven and accessible communications technologies. The International Telecommunications Union (ITU), a United Nations agency that coordinates use of radio frequency, maintains a policy of one country, one vote, meaning that the United States needed to form a voting bloc of multiple countries to garner support for agreements most favorable to its interests. In this environment, American officials had to convince countries in the Global South that they too would benefit from US space technologies.
In his analysis of 1960s-era US policy debates on satellite communications, Slotten reveals the inseparability of international and domestic policy issues. Many legislators believed communications satellites to be a “radical innovation” that held the potential to strengthen US economic ties with developing states. By replacing international cable infrastructure, a “global satellite communications system would potentially shift global economic patterns from Europe to the United States” (p. 77). Domestic policy regulating communications satellites therefore had global implications. As strategic resources, communications satellites were too important to be left solely in the hands of industry. Ceding satellite communications to industry would have also played into Soviet propaganda about corporations making investment decisions in the Global South based on profitability alone. Consequently, in 1962 Congress passed the Satellite Act that created the Communications Satellite Corporation (Comsat), a government-regulated corporation jointly owned by major communications firms, to lead the development of a global satellite communications system.
International negotiations over the establishment of Intelsat soon revealed that the aspiration for a truly global system would not entail equal treatment of all countries. Slotten points out that the global ideal of Intelsat clashed with regional considerations. Comsat, representing US interests, needed the support of industrialized states, especially in Western Europe, to transform the concept of a global satellite communications network into a reality. Including former European colonies in the discussion to form Intelsat could have created difficulties in cultivating French and British support for the US satellite communications agenda. These political sensitivities aside, the US message that Intelsat would allow global communications to flow freely attracted “countries wanting to break free from colonial relationships” (p. 181). The United States had to therefore balance the divergent interests of newly independent states and its Western European allies.
Beyond exploring political, economic, and strategic factors that converged to form a global satellite communications infrastructure, Slotten’s work has important implications for the study of space history. There is growing momentum in favor of global histories of the space age that transcend the predominantly bipolar superpower narrative that overwhelmingly defines Cold War historiography. Most certainly, the United States and the Soviet Union must remain significant parts of any investigation of twentieth-century spaceflight. Slotten nevertheless shows that multilateral forums like the ITU gave non-superpower states influence over the formulation of agreements on substantial space policy issues, such as the allocation of radio frequency spectrum. When the perspective on satellite communications is shifted from the developers and operators to the users, the pool of participants in the Cold War space arena greatly expands. Since countries around the world purchased Intelsat terminals, there is even greater work to be done in exploring the regional and local effects of space infrastructure. Slotten’s work, moreover, contributes to space histories that detail the terrestrial effects of space technologies.
Beyond Sputnik is a valuable work that will be of great interest to historians of technology, diplomatic historians, and scholars of the Cold War. Slotten’s detailed analysis of political maneuvering at the ITU over the allocation of radio frequency spectrum has relevance for anyone concerned with the nexus of telecommunications and international affairs. Furthermore, investigating the impact of satellite communications on undersea cables in the 1960s takes on even greater significance as policy experts consider the implications of fiber optic cable expansion and the growth of space-based internet services.

Why tariff increases muddy the prospects for a U.S.-China trade deal
Economy May 13, 2019 2:13 PM EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States and China are raising tariffs on tens of billions of dollars’ worth of each other’s imports, escalating a trade war, spooking financial markets and casting gloom over the prospects for the world economy.
China on Monday increased tariffs on $60 billion of U.S. goods. The move came after President Donald Trump pushed up tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports from 10% to 25% Friday — the same day that U.S.-China negotiations ended without a breakthrough or any specific plan for further talks.
The events have cast doubt on the conventional wisdom, dominant just 10 days ago, that the world’s two biggest economies were edging toward a compromise on trade.
READ MORE: Who will pay for Trump’s tariff hike?
The renewed hostilities sent stocks tumbling around the world. The Dow Jones industrial average was down more than 600 points, or more than 2%, in midday trading Monday.
Here’s a look at what’s happening:
For weeks, the talks seemed to be making slow but steady progress, and financial markets had priced in a peaceful resolution to the trade dispute.
But on May 5, President Donald Trump suddenly expressed frustration at the pace of talks and vowed to raise tariffs.
The next day, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and the top U.S. trade negotiator, Robert Lighthizer, said that China had been reneging on commitments it made in earlier rounds of negotiations. They wouldn’t identify the specific issues.
What are the U.S. and China fighting about?
The United States accuses China of resorting to predatory tactics in a drive to give Chinese companies an edge in advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics and electric vehicles. These tactics, the U.S. contends, include hacking into U.S. companies’ computers to steal trade secrets, forcing foreign companies to hand over sensitive technology in exchange for access to Chinese markets and unfairly subsidizing Chinese tech firms.
Trump has also complained repeatedly about America’s huge trade deficit with China — a record $379 billion last year — which he blames on weak and naive negotiating by previous U.S. administrations.
Last July, Trump began gradually slapping tariffs on Chinese imports. After Friday’s tariff increase, the United States now is imposing 25% taxes on $250 billion in Chinese goods. Beijing has counterpunched by targeting $110 billion worth of American imports, focusing on farm products such as soybeans in a deliberate effort to inflict pain on Trump supporters in the U.S. heartland. On Monday, it raised tariffs on $60 billion of those U.S. imports, including batteries, spinach and coffee.
WATCH: U.S.-China trade talks end without a deal. Why both sides feel they have the leverage
Until the blowup of the past week, the two countries appeared to be making progress. China was expected to beef up protection for trade secrets and offer foreign companies wider access to the Chinese market.
But stumbling blocks remained — even before the U.S. raised tariffs last week.
U.S. officials are insisting that any deal be strictly enforced so that China lives up to its promises — something they say Beijing has repeatedly failed to do in the past. Also unclear is what would happen to the U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. China wants them lifted; the U.S. wants to keep tariffs as leverage to pressure the Chinese to comply with any agreement.
What are the prospects for a resolution?
Cloudier than they were. Both countries still have an incentive to reach a deal. China’s economy is decelerating; the International Monetary Fund expects Chinese economic growth to slip from 6.6% last year to 6.3% in 2019 and 6.1% in 2020. The trade war with the United States has hurt Chinese exporters and eroded business and consumer confidence.
The trade tensions have also rattled financial markets, jeopardizing a U.S. stock market rally that Trump sees as a vote of confidence in his economic policies. And China’s retaliatory tariffs are inflicting pain on American farmers, a key part of Trump’s political base.
China’s retaliatory tariffs are inflicting pain on American farmers, a key part of Trump’s political base.
Still, business groups and congressional Democrats are insisting that Trump, having taken U.S.-China relations to the brink, hold out for a deal that requires the Chinese to genuinely change their behavior, reform their economy and open up to foreign companies.
Chinese President Xi Jinping runs a one-party state and doesn’t have to answer directly to voters. But he, too, faces pressure not to cave in to American demands.
Both countries have indicated that more talks are likely. Top White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said on Sunday that China has invited U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to Beijing. But nothing has been scheduled.
Kudlow said that Trump and Xi may meet in late June at the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan.
The two countries have given themselves some breathing room to negotiate. The higher Chinese tariffs don’t kick in until June 1. And the U.S. tariff increases don’t apply to Chinese goods shipped before Friday. Shipments take about three weeks to cross the Pacific Ocean by sea, giving negotiators more time to reach a settlement before importers may have to pay the increased charges.
What is the economic fallout?
Even before the latest tariff increases, forecasters at the IMF and World Bank had downgraded the outlook for the global economy.
The U.S.-China standoff is reducing global trade and creating uncertainty for companies deciding where to buy supplies, locate offices and build plants, paralyzing investment.
The latest tariff increases could intensify the economic pain. Moody’s Analytics says that fallout from the higher U.S. tariffs could reduce U.S. economic growth — 2.9% last year — by 1.8 percentage points a year from now. And it could shave Chinese growth to around 5%.
Moody’s called the higher tariffs “a game changer for the global economy.”

Walter Mondale
Walter Mondale was an American Democrat politician, diplomat, and lawyer who served as the 42nd vice president of the United States and represented Minnesota in the United States Senate.
Born January 5th, 1928 in Cleylon, Minnesota, Mondale’s political success made him one of the most notable Minnesotans. Mondale began his political career in 1960, when appointed as Minnesota Attorney General. In 1964, when Democrat Hubert Humphrey left the Senate to become vice president, Mondale was appointed to succeed him. Mondale served Minnesota as a U.S. Senator until 1976, when he was elected as vice president in Jimmy Carter’s presidential win. Mondale ran as the democratic nominee in an unsuccessful bid for President of the United States in 1984, losing to republican Ronald Reagan. Mondale's selection of U.S. Rep. Geraldine Ferraro of New York as his running mate made him the first major-party presidential nominee to put a woman on the ticket. Mondale later served as ambassador to Japan in President Clinton’s administration. Returning to Minnesota in 1996, he joined the Minnesota legal community, and enjoyed the role of elder statesman to contemporaries.

This week in history: 20th – 26th January
A whole six years ago on January 22nd 2008 Heath Ledger died from an accidental overdose of prescription pills. When he passed away, the 28 year-old actor was in the prime of his career. He was in the middle of filming The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. After some clever re-writing, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell were cast to complete Ledger’s role as a man who changed his appearance as he travelled between imaginary worlds. Depp, Law and Farrell all gave their earnings from the film to Ledger’s daughter Matilda.
The last film that Heath Ledger completed was Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight in which Ledger played Batman’s nemesis The Joker. His incredibly performance won him over thirty posthumous awards including an Oscar for best supporting actor.
On this day in 1961, Disney’s 101 Dalmatians was released. The film was a bit of a risk for the studio, their previous animated feature, Sleeping Beauty, failed to make even half of the $6 million production costs.
In light of this loss the animation team was reduced fivefold and xerography, a new, cheaper form of animation was introduced. 101 Dalmatians was the first feature film to use this technique. Xerography was a new photocopying technology which resulted in hard black outlines on the animations, a contrast to Disney’s previous soft feel. However, Disney needn’t have worried; 101 Dalmatians became the highest grossing film of 1961.
The original novel was written by Dodie Smith. Bill Peet, the writer, kept in close contact with her while screenwriting and he made a fair few changes. The Dalmatian protagonists were originally Pongo and Missus Pongo, Perdita was a stray, taken in to help wet nurse the puppies. The owners, Mr and Mrs Dearly, were originally named Roger and Anita Radcliffe. Although in the 1996 Disney live action version they are again named Roger and Anita. The changes were welcomed by Smith who felt that the Disney studios were improving on her story.
29 years on in 1990, Ava Gardner died aged 67. The pin-up actress’ biggest films included The Killers (1946) a crime drama where Gardner played Kitty Collins and On the Beach (1959) a Sci-Fi drama also starring Gregory Peck. Gardner once met J.R.R Tolkien at Oxford University in 1964, but neither knew that the other was famous.

Bench has been married four times. Once hailed as “baseball’s most-eligible bachelor.” His recent marriage was to 31-year-old Lauren Baiocchi, the daughter of pro golfer Hugh Baiocchi whom she married in 2004. After living in Palm Springs with their two sons, Justin (born 2006) and Josh (born 2010), Johnny had the urge to return to South Florida, where he lived from 2014-17, so the family scouted homes in Palm Beach Gardens.

When Johnny was seventeen years old he was selected 36th overall by the Cincinnati Reds in the second round of the 1965 amateur draft, playing for the minor-league Buffalo Bisons in the 1966 and 1967 seasons before being called up to the Reds in August 1967. Johnny hit only .163, however, he impressed many people with his defense and strong throwing arm, among them Hall of Famer Ted Williams. Ted signed a baseball for him and predicted that the young catcher would be “a Hall of Famer for sure!” Williams’ prophecy became fact 22 years later in 1989 when Bench was elected to Cooperstown.
The year 1970 was Johnny’ finest statistical season. When he wast 22 years old, he became the youngest player to win the National League Most Valuable Player Award. Johnny hit .293, led the National League with 45 home runs and a franchise-record 148 runs batted in as the Reds won the NL West Division. The Reds swept the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League Championship Series, but lost to the Baltimore Orioles in five games in the World Series.
During the last three seasons of his career, he moved out of the plate, catching only 13 games, while primarily becoming a corner infielder (first or third base). The Cincinnati Reds announced officially Saturday, September 17, 1983, “Johnny Bench Night” at Riverfront Stadium, in which he hit his 389th and final home run, a line drive to left in the third inning before a record crowd. Johnny retired at the end of the season at age 35.

Batting practice device endorsed by the Cincinnati Reds catcher and widely used by children growing up in the 1970s. The Johnny Batter-Up was a remarkably simple contraption: a baseball was tethered to a tyke-sized pole rising out of a heavy concrete base, allowing the user to whack the ball and then wait for the next “pitch” when the elastic tether swung back in the opposite direction. Chuck Knoblauch a former Minnesota Twin and New York Yankee second baseman is one of many major leaguers who claims to have learned to hit using a Bench Batter-Up.

ACLU Applauds Court Decision Promoting Women's Health and Ending Gender Discrimination in Insurance Coverage
ALBANY – The American Civil Liberties Union and the New York Civil Liberties Union today hailed a decision by a New York State Supreme Court judge upholding a New York law requiring insurance companies to include contraceptive coverage in their drug benefit packages.
“We’re gratified that the court understood that this law promotes women’s health and ends gender discrimination in insurance coverage while appropriately protecting some religious institutions,” said Julie Sternberg, a staff attorney with the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project. “The court rightly recognized that institutions like Catholic Charities, that operate in the public world and offer secular, not religious services, ought to play by public rules.”
The law in question, the Women’s Health and Wellness Act, requires insurance companies to cover women’s preventive health care, including mandating that insurance plans that cover prescription drug benefits pay for contraceptives. The law exempts religious employers, such as churches, mosques, and temples, whose main purpose is to inculcate religious values and who primarily employ and serve people who share its religious beliefs.
“This is a great victory for the women of New York,” said Rebekah Diller, Director of the NYCLU’s Reproductive Rights Project. “The court’s decision ensures that employers providing secular services and employing people of many faiths will not be allowed to discriminate against their female workers by forcing them to pay substantial out-of-pocket costs for basic health care.”
In a related case, tomorrow the California Supreme Court will review a similar contraceptive coverage mandate and exemption. In 2001, a California Court of Appeal also held that that law served a compelling public interest by “preserving public health and well-being . . . [and] eliminating gender discrimination,” while not violating religious liberty. The ACLU filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the California case as well.
Ten religiously affiliated organizations challenged New York’s contraceptive requirement — including Catholic Charities of Albany and Ogdensburg as well as other Catholic and Baptist social service organizations throughout the state.
Concluding that the law’s exemption protects the rights and health of large numbers of employees, the New York court noted that “the record shows that Catholic affiliated secular health businesses employ over 50,000 persons, with health insurance coverage provided to as many as 500,000.”
Furthermore, the court held that “[e]xpanding the exemption would certainly reduce the effectiveness of the [law] in meeting its legitimate governmental purposes” of promoting women’s health and ending gender discrimination.

European filmmakers planning documentary of Alabama native and jazz legend Sun Ra
Two European filmmakers are in Birmingham, working on a documentary about jazz great and Alabama native Sun Ra.
Since arriving in early December, filmmakers Pablo Guarise and Guillaume Maupin have been doing research at the Birmingham Public Library (BPL) and other locations about the late jazz singer and composer born Herman “Sonny” Blount in Birmingham in 1914, who later adopted the name Sun Ra.
During the past two months, Guarise and Maupin have been talking with librarians at BPL and folks who knew Sun Ra, as well as local jazz experts.
The film, tentatively called “Magic City: Birmingham According to Sun Ra,” is expected to be released in early 2024. It will center on Sonny Blount ‘s youth in Birmingham before he moved to Chicago as a young musician, and his return to his hometown as famous musician Sun Ra in the late 1980s.
Blount studied piano as a teenager under legendary Birmingham teacher John “Fess” Whatley, a talented musician who had students go on to play for legendary artists such as Count Basie, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. Blount graduated from A.H. Parker High School in Birmingham, attended Alabama A&M University and performed in bands across the Southeast.

After moving to Chicago and changing his stage name to Sun Ra, he gained popularity as a musician playing in nightclubs. As described in Alabama NewsCenter in a recent series about Birmingham’s musical legacy, Ra became a poet, composer, bandleader, piano and synthesizer player widely regarded for his musical experimentation, “cosmic” philosophy, prolific output and theatrical stage performances. He led the “Arkestra,” an ensemble of ever-changing members. Performances included dancers and musicians dressed in futuristic costumes inspired by ancient Egypt and Space Age attire. He recorded more than 100 albums comprising more than 1,000 songs before moving back to Birmingham late in life. He died in 1993 at age 79.
This past weekend, the filmmakers invited locals who knew Sun Ra, and those who admired his music, to two gatherings in Birmingham. At East Village Arts, Sun Ra devotees on Jan. 29 saw a presentation about the film project, screenings of past projects by the filmmakers and a musical performance by Maupin. On Jan. 30, a free screening of Maupin’s first feature film, the 2014 “Water Music,” and short films directed by Guarise took place at Sidewalk Cinema in downtown Birmingham.
The two filmmakers plan to return to Birmingham later this year to finish their research. Filming will begin in spring 2023.

Mary Lee Bendolph
American, born 1935
During the Great Depression, photographs and stories depicting the exceptional poverty of the rural community known as Gee’s Bend, Alabama, drew national attention. As part of the New Deal, federal initiatives facilitated homeownership and produced the stability that underlay the unique persistence of the community’s quilting tradition. In 1940 Mary Lee Bendolph and her family moved into one of the “Roosevelt houses” built by the Resettlement Administration. She participated in events during the civil rights era, joining the march to Camden after Martin Luther King Jr. visited in 1965 and entreated residents to register to vote. She briefly worked for the Freedom Quilting Bee in 1968. In 1999 Bendolph’s story was at the center of a Pulitzer Prize–winning article on Gee’s Bend by J. R. Moehringer published in the Los Angeles Times. She stopped quilting around this time, only to resume following the success of the 2002 traveling exhibition The Quilts of Gee’s Bend.
Inspired by her experience of the exhibition, Bendolph began to conceive of her quilts primarily as aesthetic objects and subsequently experimented with printmaking. She continues to work primarily with salvaged pieces of work clothes and other remnants. This approach, originally borne of scarcity and utilitarian need, has become both an ethic and aesthetic: a way of metamorphosing the traces of hard labor and want into a manner of solace. But it is not just this history of wear and use that is incorporated into her textiles. Like many women of Gee’s Bend, Bendolph often finds inspiration in the built environment. Local vernacular structures, such as Roosevelt houses fitted with annexes and ad hoc repairs, are reflected in her architectonic constructions sewn in wool, denim, cotton, corduroy, and polyester.

Rubio, Dunn Lead Entire Florida Delegation in Ensuring Florida's Military Capabilities Are Unaffected by Offshore Drilling Proposal
Washington, D.C.— U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and U.S. Representative Neal Dunn (R-FL) today led the entire Florida congressional delegation in urging Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to ensure that the recent Interior Department offshore proposal does not “adversely affect military readiness and training activities off of Florida’s coasts.”
In addition to Rubio and Dunn, the letter was signed by U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL), and U.S. Representatives Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), Vern Buchanan (R-FL), Kathy Castor (D-FL), Charlie Crist (D-FL), Carlos Curbelo (R-FL), Val Demings (D-FL), Ron DeSantis (R-FL),Ted Deutch (D-FL), Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), Lois Frankel (D-FL), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Alcee Hastings (D-FL), Al Lawson (D-FL), Brian Mast (R-FL), Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), Bill Posey (R-FL), Francis Rooney (R-FL), Thomas Rooney (R-FL), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Dennis Ross (R-FL), John Rutherford (R-FL), Darren Soto (D-FL), Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL), Daniel Webster (R-FL), Frederica Wilson (D-FL), and Ted Yoho (R-FL).
The full text of the letter is below:
Dear Secretary Mattis:
As the Department of the Interior (DOI) recently announced its draft National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program (National OCS Program) for 2019-2024, we respectfully request the Department of Defense’s (DOD) input to ensure this proposal does not adversely affect military readiness and training activities off of Florida’s coasts. While Secretary Zinke recently announced that Florida would be “off the table” for new drilling, the DOI draft proposal still includes the possibility for both drilling and seismic testing off Florida’s coast in all three OCS planning areas surrounding Florida. The Eastern Gulf of Mexico (EGOM) Planning Area, the South Atlantic Planning Area, and the Straits of Florida Planning Area, however, are all home to strategically-vital military activity and training areas that will only become more important with future advancements in aircraft and weapons technologies.
Eastern Gulf of Mexico Planning Area
In a recent letter, U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff, General David L. Golfein states “[t]he complex of eastern Gulf of Mexico operating areas and warning areas provides critical opportunities for advanced weapons testing and joint training exercises. The moratorium on oil and gas leasing, pre-leasing, and other related activities ensures that these vital military readiness activities may be conducted without interference and is critical to their continuation.”
As you are well aware, this established restriction enables the unique testing and training of military capabilities within the 180,000 square mile Joint Gulf Range Complex as well as 17 miles of adjacent dedicated shoreline and 724 square miles of nearby land ranges. Any encroachment on this range through drilling or predrilling activities could prove detrimental to our nation’s security and military’s readiness including utilization by joint U.S. Forces for multiple training evolutions to include: F-22 and F-35 supersonic air combat training, electronic warfare training, air-to-air and air-to-ground training, 5th and 6th Generation weapons systems training, Naval sub-surface, surface-to-surface testing, hypersonic weapons testing, and mine and counter-mine operations, to name a few, largely coordinated out of Tyndall AFB and the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division. The necessary training and application of weapons systems mentioned is contingent upon the space afforded by the Joint Gulf Range with command and control of the airspace, including the integration with civilian air traffic through the area, coordinated out of Eglin AFB.
South Atlantic Planning Area
Along the northern half of Florida’s East Coast, the U.S. Air Force’s Eastern Range, headquartered at Patrick Air Force base, spans across a 10,000-mile long stretch of ocean and is used by Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Center to conduct space launches. This range, operated by the 45th Space Wing, has supported more than 3,500 launches to date and is essential for testing of the nuclear deterrence through the operational evaluation of submarine-launch nuclear ballistic missiles. Additionally, the range’s 15 million square miles of instrumented airspace allows the United States to continue to have assured access to space, a vital but underappreciated commodity in this time of relative global peace. While this range is essential to national security space missions, it is equally essential for NASA and commercial space missions as well.
The seabed in this region includes a permanent undersea instrumentation and hydrophone installation used in high density submarine, surface ship and helicopter anti-surface/anti-submarine warfare operations as part of DOD’s training. These waters provide an ideal location for instrumented seabed training, torpedo firing exercises, and live naval surface gunnery which are necessary for U.S. fleet operations which would be jeopardized by any exploratory activities.
Straits of Florida Planning Area
Along the southern half of Florida’s East Coast, naval fleet underwater operations, test and evaluation operations in addition to the open-air range operated out of Naval Air Station Key West provide the U.S. military a realistic environment for combat readiness capabilities. Just last year, the Navy completed its 100,000th sortie using the Tactical Combat Training System (TCTS) at Naval Air Station (NAS) Key West, marking the most sorties flown on naval ranges using the system. As the nation's southernmost range, the Key West Tactical Training Range supports high fidelity training used by fleet carrier air wings, strike fighter squadrons and Navy F/A-18, EA-18G and F-35 fleet replacement squadrons through the use of more than 32,000 square miles of unencumbered trackable airspace.
We seek DOD’s assessment in these vital areas and request that you work with the DOI to yield an interagency agreement to establish a coordinated process by which the relevant agencies can identify and exclude areas from Geological and Geophysical activities in advance of proposed five-year program periods. This would allow DOD to have the certainty necessary to continue its long term investments in the military ranges off of Florida’s coasts that are vital to our military readiness and national security.
Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to working with you on this matter. | 2023-14/0006/en_head.json.gz/6515 | {"url": "https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2018/1/rubio-dunn-lead-entire-florida-delegation-in-ensuring-florida-s-military-capabilities-are-unaffected-by-offshore-drilling-proposal", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.rubio.senate.gov", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:42:03Z", "digest": "sha1:BTXXDRAPFMASCYG2FAJQEKF65UMWBY44"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 6603, 6603.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 6603, 7719.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 6603, 16.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 6603, 68.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 6603, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 6603, 211.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 6603, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 6603, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 6603, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 6603, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 6603, 0.25306748]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 6603, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 6603, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 6603, 0.04091501]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 6603, 0.02157337]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 6603, 0.02157337]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 6603, 0.02157337]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 6603, 0.02157337]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 6603, 0.01339037]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 6603, 0.01115864]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 6603, 0.01060071]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 6603, 0.07745399]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 6603, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 6603, 0.19708589]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 6603, 0.47185261]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 6603, 5.5035824]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 6603, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 6603, 5.56460897]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 6603, 977.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 132, 0.0], [132, 476, 1.0], [476, 1168, 1.0], [1168, 1206, 0.0], [1206, 1229, 0.0], [1229, 2148, 1.0], [2148, 2185, 0.0], [2185, 2648, 1.0], [2648, 3814, 1.0], [3814, 3843, 0.0], [3843, 4710, 1.0], [4710, 5178, 1.0], [5178, 5211, 0.0], [5211, 6004, 1.0], [6004, 6515, 1.0], [6515, 6603, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 132, 0.0], [132, 476, 0.0], [476, 1168, 0.0], [1168, 1206, 0.0], [1206, 1229, 0.0], [1229, 2148, 0.0], [2148, 2185, 0.0], [2185, 2648, 0.0], [2648, 3814, 0.0], [3814, 3843, 0.0], [3843, 4710, 0.0], [4710, 5178, 0.0], [5178, 5211, 0.0], [5211, 6004, 0.0], [6004, 6515, 0.0], [6515, 6603, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 132, 17.0], [132, 476, 48.0], [476, 1168, 97.0], [1168, 1206, 8.0], [1206, 1229, 3.0], [1229, 2148, 136.0], [2148, 2185, 6.0], [2185, 2648, 68.0], [2648, 3814, 169.0], [3814, 3843, 4.0], [3843, 4710, 135.0], [4710, 5178, 63.0], [5178, 5211, 5.0], [5211, 6004, 121.0], [6004, 6515, 81.0], [6515, 6603, 16.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 132, 0.0], [132, 476, 0.0], [476, 1168, 0.0], [1168, 1206, 0.0], [1206, 1229, 0.0], [1229, 2148, 0.00889878], [2148, 2185, 0.0], [2185, 2648, 0.0], [2648, 3814, 0.01496479], [3814, 3843, 0.0], [3843, 4710, 0.01533019], [4710, 5178, 0.0], [5178, 5211, 0.0], [5211, 6004, 0.02213542], [6004, 6515, 0.0], [6515, 6603, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 132, 0.0], [132, 476, 0.0], [476, 1168, 0.0], [1168, 1206, 0.0], [1206, 1229, 0.0], [1229, 2148, 0.0], [2148, 2185, 0.0], [2185, 2648, 0.0], [2648, 3814, 0.0], [3814, 3843, 0.0], [3843, 4710, 0.0], [4710, 5178, 0.0], [5178, 5211, 0.0], [5211, 6004, 0.0], [6004, 6515, 0.0], [6515, 6603, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 132, 0.11363636], [132, 476, 0.07848837], [476, 1168, 0.21387283], [1168, 1206, 0.02631579], [1206, 1229, 0.13043478], [1229, 2148, 0.05984766], [2148, 2185, 0.13513514], [2185, 2648, 0.03023758], [2648, 3814, 0.02744425], [3814, 3843, 0.13793103], [3843, 4710, 0.03690888], [4710, 5178, 0.01495726], [5178, 5211, 0.12121212], [5211, 6004, 0.05296343], [6004, 6515, 0.02739726], [6515, 6603, 0.01136364]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 6603, 0.43859273]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 6603, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 6603, 0.70196605]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 6603, -561.96359867]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 6603, 4.87332173]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 6603, 31.77079262]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 6603, 43.0]]} |
Scientists created World’s thinnest X-ray detector
The study opens new avenues for the development of next-generation, highly sensitive X-ray detectors.
Image: Exciton Science
Using tin mono-sulfide (SnS) nanosheets, Exciton Science scientists have created the world’s thinnest X-ray detector for real-time imaging of cellular biology. The detector is less than 10 nanometres thick. Previously developed thinnest X-ray detectors were between 20 and 50 nanometres.
During the experiment, it was found that the nanosheets used in the detector possess high photon absorption coefficients, thereby offering high sensitivity and a rapid response time.
Professor Jacek Jasieniak, the paper’s senior author, said, “The SnS nanosheets respond very quickly, within milliseconds.”
“You can scan something and get an image almost instantaneously. The sensing time dictates the time resolution. In principle, given the high sensitivity and high time resolution, you could be able to see things in real-time.”
“You might be able to use this to see cells as they interact. You’re not just producing a static image; you could see proteins and cells evolving and moving using X-rays.”
Why are such sensitive X-ray detectors essential?
There are two types of X-rays: Hard X-rays and soft X-rays. Hard X-rays are usually used in hospitals to scan the body for broken bones and other illnesses, whereas there is less information about soft X-rays.
Soft X-rays have lower photon energy and can be used to study wet proteins and living cells, a crucial component of cellular biology.
Soft X-ray detection can be conducted using a Synchrotron, a particle accelerator like the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. Still, access to this hugely expensive infrastructure is difficult to secure.
Recent advances in non-synchrotron soft X-ray laser sources may allow lower cost, portable detection systems to be designed, providing an accessible alternative to Synchrotrons for researchers worldwide.
However, this approach requires soft X-ray detector materials that are highly sensitive to low-energy X-rays. Highly sensitive materials will provide excellent spatial resolution and are cost-effective.
Some soft X-ray detectors use an indirect mechanism. This mechanism converts ionizing radiation into visible photons. This approach allows for multiple energy ranges and frame rates to be studied but is challenging to prepare and offers limited resolutions.
High atomic mass and low energy X-rays favor high absorption, and soft X-rays are more strongly absorbed in thin materials than hard X-rays. That’s where the SnS nanosheets come in.
Dr. Nasir Mahmood of RMIT University said: “the sensitivity and efficiency of SnS nanosheets depend greatly on their thickness and lateral dimensions, which are not possible to control through traditional fabrication methods.”
Scientists used the liquid metal-based exfoliation method to produce high-quality, large-area sheets with controlled thickness, efficiently detecting soft X-ray photons in the water region.
Scientists hope their findings will open new avenues for developing next-generation, sensitive X-ray detectors based on ultrathin materials.

Pink Martini was the brainchild of the politician Thomas Lauderdale, who formed the musical group in 1994. Prior to the formation of Pink Martini, Thomas was working in politics and attended numerous political fundraisers. He found the music at these events too loud, jaded and unimpressive. In order to change that, he began working on a project to bring a more inspiring and inclusive music soundtrack to such events that would appeal to the liberals as well as conservatives alike. Drawing inspiration from worldwide music genres, Thomas established the ‘little orchestra’ and invited its current lead vocalist, China Forbes, to join the music venture.
Major Albums
Pink Martini’s first single ‘Sympathique’, released in 1997, became an overnight sensation in France. Written by Thomas and China, the single won the France’s Victoires de la Musique Award nomination for ‘Song of the Year’. Following the success of the single, the band released its debut album, also titled ‘Sympathique’ in 1997 on its own recording label, Heinz Records. The album was well received by the critics as well as fans and broke on several worldwide charts including Switzerland, France and Belgium. It was certified Gold status in Greece after selling thousands of copies. Since then, the ‘little orchestra’ has released four more chart breaking studio albums including ‘Splendor in the Grass’ (2009), ‘Hey Eugene!’ (2007), ‘Hang On Little Tomato’ (2004) and their most recent Top 10 album ‘Joy to the World’, released in 2010.
Collaborations and Appearances
The distinguished musical group has collaborated with numerous artists over the years such as filmmaker Gus Van Sant, puppeteer Basil Twist, Henri Salvador, Martha Wainwright, Carol Channing and Jimmy Scott. In 1998, the group made its orchestral debut with the Oregon Symphony and has since then performed with more than fifty orchestras around the globe. Pink Martini has appeared on several TV shows including the ‘Late Show with David Letterman’, ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’ and ‘Late Night with Conan O’Brien’.

Luo Tianyi joins Madame Tussauds
LUO TIANYI, China’s most popular virtual idol, celebrated her 10th birthday last Tuesday by having her wax figure launched at Madame Tussauds Shanghai, joining celebrities and megastars like David Beckham and Yao Ming.
With millions of fans, Luo is a vocaloid developed formerly by Bplats, Inc. under Yamaha Corp. and was created in collaboration with Shanghai Henian Information Technology Co. Ltd. The virtual singer is 1.56 meters tall and has gray hair twintails and green eyes.
Her wax figure is dressed in her distinctive blue-and-white Lolita-style skirt. Last week, a four-hour livestreaming of Luo’s birthday celebration attracted over 10 million views online.
Thanks to her adorable appearance and sweet voice, Luo was invited to perform at the 22nd Meet in Beijing International Arts Festival in late January to promote the Beijing Olympic Winter Games. She also performed with Chinese pianist Lang Lang at Mercedes-Benz Arena in 2019 in Shanghai.
The primary fans of virtual idols and influencers are Gen Z who now have a more substantial influence on popular culture. Digitalization and virtualization of Gen Z’s lives, social interactions and consumption make virtual idols part of the mass culture.
HypeAuditor, a social media research agency, said in the “Top Virtual Instagram Celebrities in 2019” report that netizens prefer to interact with virtual influencers, and the interaction rate of each post by virtual influencers is three times higher than that of real bloggers.
Popular AI-powered virtual influencers, such as Ling and Ayayi launched in 2020 and 2021 respectively, have also worked with well-known Chinese and international brands.
Luo’s birth and growth sync with the development of voice synthesizing, holography, augmented realty and motion capture in China over the past 10 years.
According to domestic media, Microsoft’s AI system Xiaoice announced last week that it will cooperate with Luo’s label, Vsinger, to provide a customized singing voice, a multiple AI voice library and an upgraded Luo driven by Xiaoice’s deep neural network singing model. In the future, a special Luo Tianyi AI voice library and a professional tool X Studio will be released, compatible with MacOS and Windows platforms. All art creators will be able to access the voice library to create customized songs for Luo.

Besides session work, the artist was a member of several local bands who play frequently in Nashville-area venues. In 2016, he won Bass Player of the Year as awarded by the Academy of Country Music.
John Rich wrote: “Very sad day in Nashville as we lost our friend, one of the greatest bass players to have ever lived, Michael Rhodes. His mere presence in the studio made everyone bring their ‘A’ game. Huge loss for our music family. RIP my friend, and play God a nice, deep heavenly groove.”
“RIP Michael Rhodes. Honored and Humbled to have had Michael lend his enormous talents on Bass Guitar to my Mr. Honky Tonk album in 2017 #RIPMichaelRhodes #legend,” Dallas Moore tweeted.
“We have lost another incredible musician. Michael Rhodes bass player extraordinaire and wonderfully funny and gentlemanly. Here he is playing with me, Bob Mayo, Eddie Bayers, Brent Mason, Paul Franklin, and John Hobbs. My love and condolences to his family,” Peter Frampton wrote on Twitter.

China’s Environmental Abuses
By U.S. Mission China
OFFICE OF THE SPOKESPERSON
Beijing is the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases; the largest source of marine debris; the worst perpetrators of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing; and the world’s largest consumer of trafficked wildlife and timber products. While the Chinese people have suffered the worst environmental impacts of its actions, Beijing also threatens the global economy and global health by unsustainably exploiting natural resources and exporting its willful disregard for the environment through its One Belt One Road initiative. Tragically, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) represses civil society and a free press, slowing changes that would benefit its citizens and people all over the world. As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said, “Too much of the Chinese Communist Party’s economy is built on willful disregard for air, land, and water quality. The Chinese people–and the world–deserve better.”
Despite claims of international environmental leadership, China’s energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are rising. It has been the world’s largest annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter since 2006. China’s total emissions are twice that of the United States and nearly one third of all emissions globally. Beijing’s energy-related emissions increased more than 80 percent between 2005-2019, while U.S. energy-related emissions have decreased by more than 15 percent. In 2019 alone, China’s energy-related CO2 emissions increased more than 3 percent, while the United States’ decreased by 2 percent. Beijing claims “developing-country” status to avoid shouldering more responsibility for reducing GHG emissions–though its per capita CO2 emissions have already reached the level of many high-income countries. China’s increasing emissions counteract the progress of many other countries around the world to reduce global emissions.
The Ozone Layer
Through the Montreal Protocol, the nations of the world agreed to phase out production of substances that damage the ozone layer. But scientists identified an increase of emissions of the phased-out, ozone-depleting substance CFC-11 from Eastern China from 2014 to 2017. The United States leads the international response and continues to push China to live up to its obligations and increase its monitoring and enforcement efforts.
In 2008, U.S. diplomats installed air quality monitors on top of U.S. Embassy Beijing. We shared the data publicly and revealed what local residents already knew: Beijing’s air quality was dangerously worse than the Chinese government was willing to admit. That small act of transparency helped catalyze a revolution in air quality management, and Beijing has since made air quality a priority, including establishing new ambient air quality standards. Despite significant improvements in large cities, the overall level of air pollution in China remains unhealthy, and air pollution from China continues to affect downwind countries.
The Department of State works to mitigate the global threat of air pollution through diplomacy, policy leadership, and targeted foreign assistance to advance U.S. objectives and incorporate innovative technologies into diplomatic and development programs while shaping markets to support U.S. exports. We will continue to advance U.S. interests globally through existing international agreements on air quality, including the Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP) and shape efforts on air quality in the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). We will expand our work to build capacity to improve air quality management and shape markets for U.S. technology through the Air Quality Program, which currently manages twelve large air quality grants with a combined budget of $6.6 million.
China’s unsafe industrial processes also make it the world’s greatest emitter of mercury, a neurotoxin and a major public health threat when allowed to pollute air, water, and soil. China leads the world in mercury air pollution from its own coal-burning power plants, as well as the plants that Chinese state-owned companies finance, build, and operate in other countries. The United States was the first country to join the 2013 Minamata Convention on Mercury, an international agreement that seeks to protect human health and the environment by comprehensively addressing mercury sources, trade, its use in products, emissions, storage, and waste. In addition, the U.S. Department of State’s Mercury Program funds projects to promote better environmental practices among artisanal and small-scale gold miners (ASGM), reducing the use of mercury used while maintaining or increasing the miners’ recovery of gold. The program also funds projects to reduce mercury emissions from coal combustion. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is also Party to the Minamata Convention on Mercury, yet it continues to enable its citizens to promote mercury use in ASGM in many developing countries.
Wildlife Trafficking
China is indisputably the world’s largest consumer of legal and illegal wildlife, and it was identified as a Focus Country under the Eliminate, Neutralize, and Disrupt (END) Wildlife Trafficking Act. Wildlife trafficking is a serious transnational crime that threatens security, fuels corruption, robs communities of legitimate economic livelihoods, pushes species to the brink of extinction, and spreads disease. The United States has long called for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to improve its behavior on combating wildlife trafficking and has secured diplomatic successes such as a near-complete ban on Chinese government-sanctioned ivory trade in 2017. The United States calls upon the CCP to permanently end sales of high-risk wildlife in wet markets, a move that would reduce the use of trafficked wildlife and wildlife products.
Illegal Logging and Associated Trade
China is the world’s largest consumer of illegal timber products. It drives illegal logging in producer countries, feeds associated trade in illegally harvested products worth $52-157 billion per year, and fuels corruption and transnational organized crime. In addition, Chinese investment in foreign infrastructure and natural resource sectors use unfair economic practices, disregard environmental and social safeguards, and target countries with weak oversight and enforcement institutions that make them susceptible to predatory Chinese extraction. These irresponsible development practices contribute to deforestation and land degradation and undercut the legitimate forest industry around the globe. China should follow the lead of the United States and others and implement a comprehensive ban on illegal timber imports.
China is the biggest producer and exporter of plastic products, accounting for nearly 30 percent of the world’s total. A 2019 comprehensive literature review by Tianjin University estimates China is the world’s leading generator of plastic waste. At least 13 percent of China’s domestic plastic waste is unmanaged and released or dumped directly into the environment as pollution, translating into millions of tons per year. While the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) previously supported global plastic recycling, the “National Sword” policy (which took effect in 2018) severely restricted the import of recyclable plastic scrap and disrupted the global plastic scrap trade. Now, most plastic scrap, which China had imported before 2018, is landfilled, incinerated, or processed by developing countries ill-suited to manage the sudden increase, ultimately further straining ecosystems. The United States supports environmentally sound management of all waste and scrap and promotes sustainable materials management (SMM), a systematic approach to using and reusing materials more productively over their entire life cycles.
China’s One Belt One Road Initiative
China’s signature One Belt One Road Initiative (OBOR), more commonly known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), aspires to create a network of enhanced overland and maritime trade routes to better link China with the world. However, implementation of BRI lacks clear environmental guidelines, safety standards, and worker protections. Many BRI-funded projects do not meet international standards, leaving countries to deal with the harmful consequences long after a project is completed. Environmental safeguards depend on the laws of host countries, and Beijing is leading nations away from developing their economies sustainably. In recent years, Chinese-backed projects on several continents have displaced local populations, negatively affected water quality, polluted adjacent land, and spoiled fragile ecosystems. Many planned Chinese infrastructure projects worldwide would do similar harm. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has found BRI corridors overlap with over 1,700 critical biodiversity sites and the ranges of 265 threatened species that could be adversely affected by BRI projects. A study published in Nature Sustainability suggested BRI projects may lead to “permanent environmental degradation” due to environmental harm through pollution, habitat loss, and wildlife mortality, among others.
China is the world’s largest emitter of marine plastic debris. According to its own experts, China released up to one million tons of plastic waste into the ocean in 2017. The presence of plastics in the ocean costs the maritime, fishing, and tourism industries billions of dollars every year and threatens food security and public health. According to a 2020 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum report, the damage from marine debris to APEC member economies was estimated at over $11 billion in 2015 alone.
The United States proactively prevents and reduces marine debris domestically and supports such efforts internationally. The United States advocates for environmentally sound management of all waste, promotes recycling for plastic scrap, and supports innovative, market-based solutions to manage, reduce, and ultimately prevent waste and debris—including plastic waste—from polluting the environment. At Our Ocean Conferences from 2014 to 2019, the United States made 113 commitments valued at over $4.3 billion to promote sustainable fisheries, combat marine debris, and support marine science, observation, and exploration. At last year’s Our Ocean Conference, the United States announced 23 new commitments valued at $1.21 billion, including three new commitments related to marine debris.
Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing Worldwide
China is placing increased pressure on global fish stocks through unsustainable fishing practices. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) subsidizes the world’s largest fishing fleet, including one of the largest distant-water fishing fleets operating on the high seas and in other countries’ waters. Chinese vessels routinely violate the sovereign rights and jurisdiction of other coastal States, fish without permission, and overfish licensing agreements. Despite Beijing’s claiming a “zero-tolerance” policy when it comes to these issues, the problems are widespread. China is one of the world’s worst perpetrators of illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU), disregarding international fisheries management measures. In response, the United States is developing new tools and working with international partners to ensure global fishing is legal and sustainable, while encouraging the CCP to more effectively and transparently police the activities of its fleets and hold violators accountable.
Mekong Water Manipulation
China’s operation of its cascade of mega dams, opaque water management practices, and unilateral alteration of water flow in the upstream portion of the Mekong River have resulted in catastrophic consequences for its downstream neighbors. In December 2019 at the Mekong Research Symposium, researchers presented troubling evidence regarding China’s manipulation of the Mekong River’s flows for the past 25 years. Further analyses of publicly available satellite data and Mekong River Commission river height record confirmed that the greatest disruption in natural flows coincided with major dam construction and operation, exacerbated drought conditions, and contributed to immeasurable damage to fishing and agriculture. These problems are compounded by the PRC’s failure to share critical water flow data, without which Mekong region nations cannot effectively manage water resources or prepare for and mitigate the impacts of floods and droughts. The United States urges China to deliver on its recent commitment to share year-round water data and work in concert with the Mekong River Commission (MRC) to capitalize on existing partnerships and platforms for data sharing, including the MRC’s Data and Information Sharing Platform and the MWDI’s MekongWater.org.

Symphony Liturgique
Dona Nobis Pacem: Six Musical Invocations of Peace
The phrase Dona nobis pacem (“Grant us Peace”) comes from the Agnus Dei section of the Roman Catholic mass. It’s a simple, yet eternally powerful, invocation which has come to life in countless musical settings, from the serene simplicity of the traditional canon to the melodic perfection of Schubert’s Mass No. 6 in E-flat Major. At the end of Franz Joseph Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass, it emerges as a triumphant celebration. In the twentieth century, it becomes a joyfully exuberant dance in Leonard Bernstein’s Missa Brevis and a mysterious, meditative prayer in this 1996 setting by Estonian composer Peteris Vasks.
Here are six additional musical invocations of peace:
Bach’s Mass in B minor
J.S. Bach’s monumental Mass in B minor concludes with this powerful setting of Dona nobis pacem. Bach’s music transcends the quiet, meditative prayer we might expect. Instead, it’s a soaring, almost defiant musical statement. As it develops, reaching increasingly higher, we hear a single musical subject appear in one voice and then another. This persistent musical line seems to be communicating a message which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent.
Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis
Dona nobis pacem appears in the final movement of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis. In the score Beethoven wrote the words, “Prayer for inner and outer peace.” In the spirit of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony (written a year after the completion of Missa Solemnis), this is music which seems to be trying to wrap its arms around the universe. You’ll hear sudden, earth-shattering changes of direction and the occasional martial sounds of drums and bugles. This excerpt gives us a sense of Missa Solemnis’ vast, cathedral-like musical architecture; but as the work nears an end, it melts into something more intimate and contemplative. (Listen to the joyful, sparkling string and woodwind lines and the quietly contented passages which follow here).
Venus, the Bringer of Peace
Gustav Holst’s orchestral suite The Planets begins with Mars, the Bringer of War, a demonic, mechanical march locked into the irregular meter of 5/4 time. But the movement which follows evokes the serene peace of Venus. Opening with a solo horn line, Venus, the Bringer of Peace draws us into its colorful, placid, almost static world. As the movement ends, a momentary hint of something dark and ominous gives way to sparkling bells and innocent woodwind voices.
Vaughan Williams’ Dona nobis pacem
Ralph Vaughan Williams’ cantata, Dona nobis pacem was written in 1936 as a new World War loomed on the horizon. Its text alternates between the traditional Roman Catholic Mass and other biblical excerpts and poems of Walt Whitman: Beat! Beat! Drums!, Reconciliation (below), and Dirge for Two Veterans.
Word over all, beautiful as the sky,Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage must in time be utterly lost,That the hands of the sisters Death and Night incessantly softly wash again
and ever again, this soiled world;
For my enemy is dead, a man divine as myself is dead,I look where he lies white-faced and still in the coffin – I draw near,Bend down and touch lightly with my lips the white face in the coffin.
At moments, Vaughan Williams’ music suggests the trumpet calls and drums of battle. A solemn, numb funeral dirge trudges on. Half way through, the words, “Dona nobis pacem” become an ear-splitting shriek of pain. But throughout the cantata, we also hear exuberant splashes of color and some of the most lushly beautiful music imaginable…the sonic equivalent of England’s “green and pleasant” countryside.
(Vaughan Williams’ Dona nobis pacem ends at the 33:30 mark, below).
Honegger’s Symphonie Liturgique
Written in the aftermath of the Second World War, Swiss composer Arthur Honegger’s Symphony No. 3 “Symphonie Liturgique” can be heard as a wordless mass. Here is the final movement, which concludes with a reference to Dona nobis pacem. At moments, the music suggests the roaring steam of Honegger’s locomotive-inspired Pacific 231. In its final moments, as earlier conflict fades, the music enters a colorful and mysterious new world, seeming to fade into eternity:
Fauré’s Requiem
And what better way to finish than with the sparkling, childlike innocence of In paradisum, the final movement of Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem:

Keynote Speakers Announced for the 2023 International Offshore Wind Partnering Forum
The Business Network for Offshore Wind has announced U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, White House National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi, and Maryland Governor Wes Moore as the keynote speakers for its 2023 International Offshore Wind Partnering Forum (IPF) taking place March 28-30 at the Baltimore Convention Center.
In two weeks, industry and business leaders, government officials, policy experts, and key stakeholders from around the world will converge at the largest offshore wind energy conference in the Americas to collaborate, share ideas, and chart the course for the future of the U.S. offshore wind industry and its supply chain.
The three-day event is expected to draw more than 4,000 attendees and 400 exhibitors from nearly 30 countries with plenary sessions focused on the pathway to achieving 110 GW by 2050, the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on offshore wind and growing domestic supply chain capacity amid global inflation. As the offshore wind market transitions from demonstration to commercialization with the nation’s first two utility-scale projects set to begin operation this year, 2023’s IPF will be the most significant in size and scope, providing a premier forum to address the industry’s biggest opportunities and challenges.
“This year’s IPF keynote speakers are decision makers who sit at the center of the U.S. offshore wind industry’s recent growth and market acceleration,” said Liz Burdock, president and CEO of the Business Network for Offshore Wind. “By bringing together the industry’s most important stakeholders, IPF will create unprecedented opportunities for collaboration and continue offshore wind’s forward momentum. As the home of the Business Network for Offshore Wind, we are excited to celebrate ten years of IPF in Baltimore, which has tremendous potential to serve as a hub for industry activity, attracting new investment and creating opportunities across the supply chain.”
U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland
Secretary Haaland will speak to the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to supporting the offshore wind industry as a key part of America’s green energy future. Since taking office in 2021 as the first Native American cabinet secretary in U.S. history, Haaland has prioritized sustainable energy and environmental justice as the Interior Department outlines the path to achieving 30 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030.
Zaidi will provide remarks during the opening plenary session and discuss the Biden-Harris administration’s efforts to expand the U.S. offshore wind industry, chief of which is the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), passed in August 2022, which implemented a generous tax credit to encourage domestic production of offshore wind components and vessels.
Governor Wes Moore will open Wednesday’s plenary and discuss his administration’s efforts to supercharge the state’s offshore wind development. Governor Moore set Maryland on an ambitious path toward decarbonization with his goal of ensuring the state produces 100 percent clean energy by 2035.
The conference will also feature remarks from Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Director Elizabeth Klein and Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) Director Kevin Sligh. Director Klein will give a keynote speech at IPF’s Women in Energy Luncheon, taking place March 29, while Director Sligh will provide a plenary presentation to all attendees. Both will discuss recently announced regulations for U.S. offshore wind, which set clear rules for developers and allow the industry to accelerate to meet its goals.
New this year, IPF will include a Global Insights Stage that showcases global market updates from 15 international delegations, including Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

Orphan Drug Designation From the U.S. FDA for EPX-100 and EPX-200 in the Treatment of Patients With Dravet Syndrome
Published on: April 25, 2017|Categories: Childhood Epilepsy, Medicine, Neurology, News, Research, Seizures, Technology
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Orphan Drug Designation to EPX-100 and EPX-200 for the treatment of patients with Dravet syndrome. Dravet Syndrome qualifies as a rare pediatric disease under Section 529 of Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
The rare, catastrophic, lifelong form of epilepsy begins in the first year of life with frequent or prolonged seizures. Intellectual disability, behavioral abnormalities, gait and motor dysfunction, and increased mortality are commonly observed as the disease progresses. Patients with Dravet Syndrome also suffer with life-threatening seizures that cannot be adequately controlled by available medications, and face a 15-20 percent mortality rate due to SUDEP (Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy), seizure-related accidents such as drowning, or infections. In most cases, the disease is caused by heterozygous de novo mutations or gene deletions of SCN1A, a gene encoding a brain voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav1.1).
EPX-100 and EPX-200 were discovered using a proprietary phenotype-based zebrafish drug screening platform. Zebrafish, a small vertebrate, harbor 82 percent of human disease-associated genes, and share many physiological and metabolic pathways with humans. Using a zebrafish model for Dravet Syndrome, drug candidates that suppress seizures and symptoms associated with neurological disease were identified from a screen of more than 3,000 drugs.
“Granting EPX-100 and EPX-200 the Orphan Drug Designation is one of the company’s significant development milestones, and we look forward to testing our drug candidates for children who are suffering from this debilitating disease as early as possible,” says Dr. Hahn-Jun Lee, M.Sc., Ph.D., president and CEO of Epygenix Therapeutics, Inc.” Epygenix Therapeutics, Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company developing precision medicine for rare and catastrophic forms of genetic epilepsy.
Dr. Scott C. Baraban, Ph.D., professor and William K. Bowes Jr. endowed chair in Neuroscience Research at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and chair of the Scientific Advisory Board at Epygenix Therapeutics, Inc. issued a joint statement: “The FDA decision recognizes the power of our zebrafish platform to rapidly identify drug candidates with the potential to provide new therapeutic options for children suffering with this devastating disorder.
As this is the first time a zebrafish model has been used to identify potential treatments for a human neurological disease, Dr. Baraban describes the Orphan Drug Designation as a significant milestone in validating this precision medicine approach.
Dr. Joseph Sullivan, M.D., director of Pediatric Epilepsy Center and associate professor of Neurology & Pediatrics at UCSF and one of the scientific advisors, said that EPX-100 and EPX-200 may be new treatment options for patients in the clinics later, especially non-responders to current treatment options.
Under the U.S. Orphan Drug Act, the FDA’s Office of Orphan Products Development provides sponsors with special status and incentives to facilitate the drug development for rare disease affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. Orphan Drug Designation provides seven years of market exclusivity if the drug candidate receives regulatory approval together with tax credits for qualified clinical trial cost, exemptions from certain FDA application fees, and assistance in clinical trial design.
About EPX-100
EPX-100 is a first-generation antihistamine which was safely used to treat itch between 1950 and 1970. EPX-100 was found to be a powerful suppressor of spontaneous convulsive behavior and electrographic seizures in zebrafish models for Dravet Syndrome. EPX-100 antiepileptic action, however, is not through a histaminergic mechanism of action, but via modulation of serotonin (5HT) signaling pathways.
EPX-200 is an FDA-approved weight gain management drug which acts via modulation of serotonin (5HT) signaling pathways. EPX-200 was first identified in a zebrafish model for Dravet Syndrome. EPX-200 has already been successfully tested in five Dravet Syndrome patients at the University of Colorado Hospital, where it showed an ability to reduce seizure frequency in a small compassionate use trial. | 2023-14/0006/en_head.json.gz/10356 | {"url": "https://epilepsyu.com/orphan-drug-designation-u-s-fda-epx-100-epx-200-treatment-patients-dravet-syndrome/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "epilepsyu.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:21:18Z", "digest": "sha1:OUGYUGIQ4HOEDSIDG7URULC6KTA46EGO"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4493, 4493.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4493, 7156.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4493, 13.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4493, 137.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4493, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4493, 236.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4493, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4493, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4493, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4493, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4493, 0.28969697]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4493, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4493, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4493, 0.06583918]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4493, 0.06583918]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4493, 0.04856989]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4493, 0.02698327]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4493, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4493, 0.03022126]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4493, 0.02833243]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4493, 0.02104695]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4493, 0.05333333]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4493, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4493, 0.2]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4493, 0.50847458]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4493, 5.71032357]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4493, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4493, 5.29828524]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4493, 649.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 116, 0.0], [116, 235, 0.0], [235, 489, 1.0], [489, 1211, 1.0], [1211, 1657, 1.0], [1657, 2153, 1.0], [2153, 2620, 1.0], [2620, 2870, 1.0], [2870, 3179, 1.0], [3179, 3678, 1.0], [3678, 3692, 0.0], [3692, 4094, 1.0], [4094, 4493, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 116, 0.0], [116, 235, 0.0], [235, 489, 0.0], [489, 1211, 0.0], [1211, 1657, 0.0], [1657, 2153, 0.0], [2153, 2620, 0.0], [2620, 2870, 0.0], [2870, 3179, 0.0], [3179, 3678, 0.0], [3678, 3692, 0.0], [3692, 4094, 0.0], [4094, 4493, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 116, 19.0], [116, 235, 13.0], [235, 489, 40.0], [489, 1211, 102.0], [1211, 1657, 61.0], [1657, 2153, 70.0], [2153, 2620, 69.0], [2620, 2870, 38.0], [2870, 3179, 45.0], [3179, 3678, 73.0], [3678, 3692, 2.0], [3692, 4094, 57.0], [4094, 4493, 60.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 116, 0.05405405], [116, 235, 0.05555556], [235, 489, 0.03673469], [489, 1211, 0.01002865], [1211, 1657, 0.02771363], [1657, 2153, 0.01260504], [2153, 2620, 0.0], [2620, 2870, 0.0], [2870, 3179, 0.02033898], [3179, 3678, 0.01226994], [3678, 3692, 0.25], [3692, 4094, 0.04627249], [4094, 4493, 0.02570694]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 116, 0.0], [116, 235, 0.0], [235, 489, 0.0], [489, 1211, 0.0], [1211, 1657, 0.0], [1657, 2153, 0.0], [2153, 2620, 0.0], [2620, 2870, 0.0], [2870, 3179, 0.0], [3179, 3678, 0.0], [3678, 3692, 0.0], [3692, 4094, 0.0], [4094, 4493, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 116, 0.17241379], [116, 235, 0.09243697], [235, 489, 0.09055118], [489, 1211, 0.02770083], [1211, 1657, 0.02242152], [1657, 2153, 0.05443548], [2153, 2620, 0.06423983], [2620, 2870, 0.024], [2870, 3179, 0.06472492], [3179, 3678, 0.04208417], [3678, 3692, 0.28571429], [3692, 4094, 0.03233831], [4094, 4493, 0.05263158]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4493, 0.25397545]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4493, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4493, 0.80489707]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4493, -257.5020197]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4493, -6.83703328]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4493, 6.33146327]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4493, 47.0]]} |
Manuel Orozco is currently a senior director of remittances and development at the Inter-American Dialogue, a Fellow for the Center for International Development at Harvard University, Senior Migration; Remittances Advisor for the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
He has theorized, conducted extensive research, policy analysis and advocacy on issues relating to economic development, global flows of remittances, and migration and development worldwide, and regional trends in Central America. His work has led to international policy and business initiatives leveraging these flows to build assets among families and migrants, strengthen market competition, and promoting innovative development policies. He works directly with migrant organizations and nationalities in several countries and provides advice on diaspora engagement and financial independence.
Some of his achievements include the design and implementation of a financial advising strategy that successfully motivates people to formalize their savings at financial institutions. The strategy has reached over half a million people in more than 15 countries. He has also introduced strategies on microfinance, and methods that link diaspora investments in their homelands.
In 1999 he introduced a pricing methodology on remitting transaction costs (now adopted by the World Bank) and produces a scorecard on industry competitiveness in money transfers. His work has included the design of evaluation tools to determine a project’s development impact. He works and monitors financial sectors in more than 50 countries. He has worked extensively in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean.
In addition, he has provided political analysis on Central America, Cuba and the Dominican Republic. He has written country reports for Freedom House and reviewed political trends since the democratic transition in Central America.
He is also member of the Committee on Economic Inclusion at FDIC. Dr. Orozco is also chair of Central America at the U.S. Foreign Service Institute at the U.S. Department of State. He also taught at American University, and George Washington University.
He has testified every year before Congress and has spoken before the United Nations General Assembly.
Orozco holds a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Texas at Austin, masters in public administration and Latin American studies, and a BA in international relations from the National University of Costa Rica.
Manuel Orozco has published widely on migration, remittances, Latin America, globalization, democracy, conflict in war torn societies, and minority politics. His publications include studies about the intersection between remittances and finances, financial literacy and development.

The History of Little Engines
Martin and Irene Lewis, and Little Engines by Josh Knowles
Martin Lewis
Martin and Irene Lewis
Martin Lewis was born in Iowa on May 26, 1885. Early in life, Martin began a career as a mechanical engineer. He moved to Southern California in the early twentieth century and acquired a job working for Dale Gentry of Gentry Ford in San Bernardino, California. It was here that Martin and Dale Gentry invented the first V-8 engine. The engine was named the Gentry-Lewis Engine and was placed into a vehicle manufactured by Ford.
Gentry-Lewis V8 Engine
Unfortunately, Ford did not authorize the Gentry-Lewis Engine, so their plans fell through. Martin soon decided to pursue other interests.
By the early 1930’s Martin had moved from San Bernardino to Wilmington, California where he began working for Harpur’s Marine Engines. It was during this period that he met his wife Irene. In 1938 Martin began a small business selling miniature live-steam engines. The company, which Martin named “Little Engines”, started as a catalog/mail-order business. By 1946, Martin and Irene needed more space to operate their growing business. They relocated to Lomita, California where they had enough room to build and run their live-steam engines. Little Engines had become a big success, but sadly in 1949 Martin passed away, leaving Irene to keep Little Engines in operation.
Irene Lewis
Irene Lewis was originally born under the name Edith Irene Ott in 1899. She was the oldest of eleven daughters of Frank and Grace Ott. After growing up and spending much of her youth in Oregon, Irene moved to Santa Barbara, California. After settling in Santa Barbara in 1929, Irene started working as a waitress. The owner of the restaurant where Irene had been working noticed her potential and paid for her to go to business school. As mentioned earlier, Irene and Martin Lewis married and moved to Lomita in 1946. Following Martin’s death in 1949, Irene continued operating Little Engines as her husband would have wished for.
As the years passed, Little Engines, now under the watchful eye of Irene, began to prosper. The Southern California Live Steamers, a miniature live-steam engine club, was established on the same premises as Little Engines. The club would hold meetings, socialize, and operate their own live-steam engines. The club would also occasionally give rides to friends and family members. The Southern California Live Steamers still operate and offer public rides; however, the club relocated to Wilson Park in nearby Torrance.
Under the management of Irene, Little Engines began to receive national recognition. Walt Disney’s interest in railroading and live-steam engines prompted him to befriend Irene.
The most famous local buyer from Little Engines was Walt Disney. A widely known train fan, Walt was a friend of both Martin and Irene. Irene was said to have been given a ticket to the grand opening of Disneyland.
A few of Irene’s steam engines went on to be featured in television programs and Hollywood films, such as, The King and I (1956). After settling down and accumulating enough profits from the sales of her miniature steam engines, Irene built a museum in honor of Martin Lewis and to celebrate the golden age of steam power.

Successfully Simulating Atmospheric Gravity Waves
These waves are key to moving energy from the troposphere to the thermosphere, but until now they haven’t been well described at high altitudes in computer models.

The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite captured this image of primary gravity waves in tropospheric clouds off southern Australia in 2017. Primary waves can start a chain reaction that carries momentum and energy into the upper reaches of the atmosphere. Credit: NASA Earth Observatory image by Joshua Stevens

Atmospheric scientists have long recognized the importance of gravity waves in transporting momentum and energy in Earth’s atmosphere. These waves (which are different from gravitational waves studied in astronomy) occur when packets of air rise and fall under the competing forces of buoyancy and gravity. Many gravity waves form near Earth’s surface when air is forced upward by geographic obstructions such as mountains.
The formation of these primary gravity waves in the troposphere can trigger a chain reaction that results in the appearance of secondary and, eventually, tertiary waves higher in the atmosphere. Satellite observations suggest that these secondary and tertiary waves may play a key role in Earth’s uppermost atmosphere, the thermosphere. However, existing computer models have not successfully simulated the physics necessary to observe this formation process in action.
Becker and Vadas present a new general circulation model (GCM) to address this shortcoming. They modify an existing GCM, extending its vertical extent to an altitude of 450 kilometers and modeling additional physics, including the rapid variation of molecular viscosity and thermodynamic variables in the thermosphere. Although the resulting GCM simplifies some aspects of radiation and chemistry, the authors demonstrate that it produces reasonable results at low altitudes and successfully generates secondary and tertiary gravity waves higher up.
The model resolves gravity waves with wavelengths as small as 165 kilometers. In a simulation of winter in the Southern Hemisphere, these waves tended to concentrate at high latitudes, forming a hot spot over the southern Andes and Antarctica. During northern winter, similar concentrations formed over high-latitude landmasses, such as Alaska, Greenland, and Siberia. Larger gravity waves, with wavelengths up to 2,000 kilometers, were seen to propagate long distances, passing over Earth’s poles as they rose through the thermosphere. These early simulation results match existing observational data.
The researchers plan future upgrades to the GCM to better handle the effects of ionospheric processes and to allow for more responsiveness to weather conditions at lower altitudes. Although the early results confirm the approach used in their model, the authors suggest that the GCM will be most useful in enabling future novel investigations.

Press Release: More than 100 International Visitors Participated in the Big Iron International Visitors Program
September 10, 2019 by Lindsey Warner
North Dakota hosted a large number of international visitors from more than 15 countries during the Big Iron International Visitors Program, the portion of the Big Iron Farm Show connecting international agriculture equipment buyers with North Dakota businesses. The International Visitors Program (IVP) was held Sept. 9-12 and was organized by the North Dakota Trade Office (NDTO) with the cooperation of the U.S. Commercial Service.
International delegates were welcomed on Monday, September 9 by Lieutenant Governor Brent Sanford, who is also the chairman of the NDTO Board of Directors, and North Dakota companies at a lunch and exhibition at the Delta in Fargo. In the afternoon, delegates attended a farm tour and welcome reception. The Big Iron IVP continued throughout the week with participants meeting one-on-one with North Dakota companies and attending the Big Iron Farm Show, dealership tours and educational sessions.
Delegations from countries including Russia, Romania, Ethiopia, Uruguay, Kenya, Liberia and Australia met with equipment dealers and agribusiness professionals to learn more about North Dakota agricultural practices and technology, and purchase equipment. This year's Big Iron International Visitors Program had the highest number of international participants since 2013.
"We're excited to welcome more than 100 international visitors to learn about the innovation happening in our state's agricultural sector and to introduce them to North Dakota ag products and equipment," said Lieutenant Governor Sanford. "From specialty crops to machinery, we continue to find success by promoting our state's high-quality products to global markets with growing demand, and we look forward to forming new partnerships and strengthening existing relationships over these next three days at Big Iron."
Big Iron international visitors are recruited through the U.S. Commercial Service's office in Fargo and via their branch locations throughout the world.
"The U.S. Commercial Service takes the lead on Big Iron international recruiting efforts by leveraging its network of offices at U.S. Embassies and Consulates all over the world," said Heather Ranck, Director of the U.S. Commercial Service in Fargo, ND. "This year, our multilingual team member Joshua Erickson sent hundreds of personalized and timely messages and reminders to our vast network of contacts, and due to the effectiveness of this strategy, we expect strong participation."
North Dakota company participants included agricultural equipment manufacturers and dealers, agriculture service providers, commodity storage and processing equipment manufacturers, educational institutions and research specialists.
NDTO is a member-based, public-private organization dedicated to expanding North Dakota's exports through advocacy, education and expertise. All trade missions and reverse trade missions are designed to assist North Dakota companies in finding potential partners and making overseas sales; these initiatives are open to the public.
