WASHINGTON (BLOOMBERG) -Mr Joe Biden will begin his presidency next week with a Cabinet made up mostly of acting officials as delays in the Senate slow confirmation of his top choices for key positions, including the secretaries of defence and treasury.
Senators have set Jan 19, the day before Mr Biden is sworn in, for hearings on his nominees for Homeland Security, Defence, State and Treasury – four key posts that are often targeted for confirmation just hours after a president is sworn in. But they might not be confirmed and able to start work for days or even weeks later.
The House’s expected impeachment of President Donald Trump may also affect the Senate’s timeline. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said late Tuesday (Jan 12) that the impeachment article would be sent over to the Senate quickly, adding a trial to the upper chamber’s agenda.
Hearings for Mr Biden’s nominees could still proceed, but a Senate trial would take precedence over other floor business in the chamber, potentially delaying their confirmation. Mr Biden said Monday he is talking to lawmakers about a half-day trial timeline.
Mr Biden began announcing his Cabinet nominees shortly after the November election, and introduced each person with a pledge that they would be ready to work on “day one”.
But Mr Biden’s first day may come and go without confirmations, slowing his promises to gut, reverse or overhaul many of Mr Trump’s decisions over the last four years, from the lengthy process of changing regulations to drafting legislation.
Mr Biden can appoint acting heads of agencies while awaiting his nominees to be confirmed. In many cases, he will turn to senior career officials to temporarily lead agencies, a transition official said.
In a few instances, the Biden team has identified Mr Trump’s political appointees to take on interim roles, after determining that they share the new administration’s values.
Senate-confirmed Democratic members of commissions could take on acting roles leading those agencies until Mr Biden’s selections are confirmed, the official said.
The official declined to provide names of any of the people the transition has identified to lead agencies in an acting capacity.
But a person familiar with the matter said Mr Andy Baukol, a long-time civil servant and now a principal deputy assistant Treasury secretary, is likely to become acting Treasury secretary.
Any of those options would put placeholders in critical departments, who are less likely to take the dramatic actions Mr Biden has promised would get under way immediately.
The Senate, which must hold hearings and then vote on each of an incoming administration’s nominees, has confirmed some past presidents’ nominees hours after their inaugurations.
The setting of hearing dates for Homeland Security nominee Alejandro Mayorkas, Treasury nominee Janet Yellen, State nominee Anthony Blinken and Defence nominee Lloyd Austin suggests the Senate heeded Mr Biden’s calls to get critical posts confirmed quickly.
“It’s my expectation and hope that the Senate will now move to confirm these nominees promptly and fairly,” Mr Biden said Friday of his nominees for those positions.
“I nominated them back in November,” he said. “Given what our country has been through the last four years, the last few days, given the threats and the risks in this world, they should be confirmed as close to Jan 20 as possible.”
Mr Biden’s team continues to make a heavy push on those nominees, particularly Homeland Security, a transition official said. The president’s argument is that Mr Mayorkas’ confirmation, in particular, would signal the Senate’s recognition of threats both from overseas – like the massive cyber attack widely blamed on Russia – and from within the US, like the right-wing mob that attacked the Capitol.
Besides the normal confirmation hearings, Mr Austin also faces a House hearing to waive the rules regarding a former military officer becoming a civilian head of the Defence Department.
On Mr Trump’s first day in office, his secretaries of Defence and Homeland Security were confirmed, and his first secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, followed on Feb 1.
President Barack Obama had seven Cabinet choices cleared by the Senate on Inauguration Day, including his Homeland Security chief. His first Defence secretary, Robert Gates, remained in place from the previous administration. His secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was confirmed on Jan 21.
Former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton had six and three Cabinet members in place on Jan 20, respectively, according to Senate records. Under both presidents, those included Treasury, Defence and State. The Department of Homeland Security was not created until after the 9/11 attacks in 2001.
With Mr Biden’s swearing-in only a week away, the coming 50-50 split in the Senate adds complexity. Republicans remain in control of committees until Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris is inaugurated and can break a tie to make Democrat Chuck Schumer the majority leader.
The last time the Senate had split control, in early 2001 under Bush, Senate Republican Leader Trent Lott and Democratic Leader Tom Daschle worked out a power-sharing plan that sped the process. Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Mr Schumer are using that pact as a framework for their own plan, but the matter is still unresolved, said a person familiar with their deliberations.
After the House’s expected vote to impeach Mr Trump over last week’s attack on the US Capitol, the Senate must begin a trial that takes precedence over all other business unless all 100 senators agree other business can also be conducted. The chamber, with a simple majority, can also set the rules for a trial and how long it would last.
In a half-day Senate trial schedule, the other half would be devoted to Mr Biden’s cabinet or other legislation like economic stimulus or money for coronavirus vaccine distribution. Mr Schumer is also exploring whether the Senate could be brought back for an “emergency session” before the Jan 19 end of the current recess to start a trial.
It would be difficult for the Senate to speed Ms Yellen, Mr Mayorkas or Mr Austin into the job on Inauguration Day. That is one day after confirmation hearings, and to move that swiftly would require agreement from every Republican on the relevant committees and the full Senate.
Early partisan jockeying suggests some of the nominations will take more time.
Mr Mayorkas’s hearing could be the most contentious, given his work under Obama to fashion the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, which shields from deportation people brought to the US illegally as children. Many Republicans oppose that policy.
As for Mr Austin, the House Armed Services Committee has scheduled a Jan 21 hearing on the waiver he needs because the retired four-star general has been out of uniform for fewer than the required seven years to lead the Defence Department. He also faces some opposition because of his recent work on behalf of Raytheon Technologies Corp, the defence contractor.

- Tokyo might be ceding to Shanghai Fashion Week, which focused on promoting local emerging brands to international buyers.
- It remains important as a showcase of Asian creative talent, but top Japanese designers are choosing to show in Europe or New York.
- Rakuten has come onboard as a sponsor, but it is not investing significantly more at a time when Japanese fashion requires more designers and better activations.
When seemingly every week is fashion week, how do you make your showcase essential in the seasonal race of buyers and press around the world? That’s a problem Kaoru Imajo, the director of Japan Fashion Week Organization (JFWO), has been trying to solve. This time, though, he has a new ally: the JFWO announced in early August that Rakuten would replace its longtime partner Amazon as the new head sponsor. The two organisations will focus on promoting Japanese fashion globally and bringing a “more exciting experience” to visitors.
The partnership comes at an opportune time for Rakuten. The Japanese e-tailer is going head-to-head with Amazon for leadership of the country’s e-commerce sector. Fashion represents a growing opportunity, most recently contributing sales of 600 billion yen (£4.4 billion) to Rakuten’s bottom line. It is also starting to offer services to provide brands with demand forecasting, logistics and overseas sales support.

Narciso Rodriguez by Narciso Rodriguez
Book DescriptionThe two-time winner of the Best Designer of the Year Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and hailed as the king of minimalism, Narciso Rodriguez is poised to take his place in the pantheon of great American designers. As Anna Wintour put it, "No one but Narciso has ever made a simple line look more stunning." Like the famously copied wedding dress he made for Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Rodriguez s designs are revered for their exquisite tailoring but also for being wearable. His exceptionally varied and loyal following from Salma Hayek and Sarah Jessica Parker, to Oprah Winfrey and the late Celia Cruz is a testament to his success. This elegant volume reveals the artist at work in his atelier. Rodriguez takes his inspiration from the life that surrounds him whether it s the subtle color of faded paint on a facade, a pattern made by the sand, or the gesture of a young man on a skateboard and records it in sketchbooks and vivid snapshots. Always experimenting with new textiles and textures, he creates deceptively simple montages artworks in their own right that gracefully yield the stunning dresses we see flowing down the runway."

Here is a fabulous slice of San Francisco queer counterculture history at its finest -- American High Heeled Wrestling between Rena McDonald (Adam Klein) and Jerome Caja! This infamous drag event was an ACT-UP benefit for Prevention Point at 1015 Folsom on Wednesday, January 24th, 1990. This event was also shot on VHS. I have a digitized copy of the taped event that is unfortunately not in great condition, but it might be the only record we have of it.
As far as I know, this is the only printed documentation of the event. If anybody knows of other coverage or has pictures from this event, please contact us. We would like to document what you have and add it to the digital catalogue raisonné. This is the type of rare documentation that we want to try to include in the documentary film.
Again, thank you Mark Bowes for saving and scanning this fabulous flyer, and a very special thank you to Michael Johnstone (Verasphere) for posting and sharing these INCREDIBLE B&W photos of the event. These are extremely rare images and we are thrilled that you were able to salvage your negatives and get good digital images of them.

I have several Dwarf Blue Arctic Willows in my yard. This year they were full of some kind of wasp or bee. I waited until winter and the leaves dropped off to see if there was a hive or nest and there does not seem to be one. In looking for the nest I noticed some small black bugs on the wood. What should I do, if anything and are the two pests related in any way?
Rate This FAQ
I've never heard of any insects pushing plants out of the ground. There are ground-nesting bees and wasps (see Ohio State's Fact Sheet at http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2143.html ). There are also cicada-killer wasps that dig holes in the ground (they put in a stung/paralyzed cicada that has their eggs deposited on it - once the egg(s) hatch, the young cicada-killer feeds on the cicada body until ready to pupate).
Again, I would suggest that you capture some of these insects and take them in to your county Extension agent for help in identifying them.
I'm trying to think of what else might push plants out of the ground. The only things I can thing of are frost heave and possibly pocket gophers. Read about pocket gophers at http://extension.usu.edu/files/publications/publication/NR_WD_005.pdf . They don't really push the plants out of the ground, but it may appear that way if their tunnel opens near the plants.
You might see frost heave in early winter, especially on fall plantings. When root ball soil is wetter than the surrounding soil, it freezes and expands, "heaving" or pushing the entire root ball upwards. If the root ball is never pushed back down to contact soil, the root system of the plant won't grow into the surrounding soil. You can usually avoid frost heave with proper planting techniques and a good layer of mulch (about 3 to 4 inches deep)over newly-planted areas.

Was President Ronald Reagan a Conservative?
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 11-14-2013 - 9:25am|
I feel that Ronald Reagan or at least the Federal Government when Ronald Reagan was President was mostly conservative. To see this it is first important to look at the definition of conservative. The following are excerpts from the definition of conservative from three different dictionaries. They can be found at Free Dictionary:
The American Heritage Dictionary (2000) in part defines conservative as: “Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change.”
The Collins English Dictionary (2003) defines conservative in part as: favouring the preservation of established customs, values, etc., and opposing innovation.” Also, as “a person who is reluctant to change or consider new ideas; conformist”
The Random House Kernerman Webster’s College Dictionary (2010) defines conservative in part as “disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change.”
In the Free Dictionary website the definition of conservative as a noun is also defined as “a person who is reluctant to accept changes and new ideas” and as an adjective conservative is defined as “resistant to change.”
Further the following quote has been accredited to William F. Buckley, Jr.: “A Conservative is a fellow who is standing athwart history yelling ‘Stop!’” and the following quote has been accredited to Abraham Lincoln: “What is conservatism? Is it not the adherence to the old and tried against the new and untried?”
Between 1933 and 1968 the United States went through significant changes as regarding the “New Deal Programs” during the 1930s, the redirection of U.S. foreign policy to a more international direction during the 1940s, the Civil Rights programs during the late 1940s to 1960s and the “Great Society Programs” of the 1960s. A few of these changes were reversed, but most were not. So, the period 1933 to 1968 in America was clearly not conservative because of these changes.
Well what happened during Ronald Reagan’s Presidency from 1981 to 1989? For the most part the changes that occurred between 1933 and 1968 stayed in effect. That is, for the most part, these changes were conserved during Ronald Reagan’s Presidency. Perhaps the greatest changes between 1981 and 1989 were the lowering of tax rates and the other changes in tax policy that accompanied that reduction and the deregulation of thrifts and other bank regulation changes represented by the Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982. So, with the exceptions of the change in taxes and the bank deregulation the status quo was conserved during Ronald Reagan’s time as President, so with the exception of those two changes Ronald Reagan was a conservative President or at least the policy of the Federal Government during that time was conservative. The least conservative parts were the changes mentioned above.
Now, some people might say that the definition of conservative is the favoring small government. Under that definition either Ronald Reagan was not a “conservative” or he was ineffective in implementing a “conservative” policy because there does not seem to have been any overall reduction in the size of the Federal Government during the time of his Presidency.

In response to Susan Gardner’s letter from Oct. 19, Joe Marshall, who is now running for Kenmore City Council, was one of the effective voices who worked with me to ensure that Washington State Parks did not literally sell off the heart of Saint Edward State Park to the re-developers of the seminary building.
Legislation sought by the State Parks Commission and backers of the redevelopment proposal would have literally sold the heart of our public park to the developers. Instead, we have maintained public ownership and control — protecting environmental values and public access — while allowing redevelopment to save the building to move forward. While there were many voices opposing any private redevelopment, legislation I spearheaded ensured that there was an independent examination of whether there were any feasible alternatives for nonprofit or public redevelopment of the seminary building. That resulted in an agreement to use some of the first-floor space for a new environmental education center. If the building had been sold to the lodge developer, this public use would not be part of the plan.

postpaid mobile connections
LAST UPDATED : Dec 05, 2019, 04:31 AM IST
- 'Hello Kashmir': Kashmiris delighted as postpaid mobile connections restored
Mobile phones rang across the Valley for the first time since August 5 - when the Centre revoked Jammu and Kashmir's special status - much to the delight of residents longing to reach out to their loved ones outside the Valley and inside too. Over 25 lakh prepaid mobile phones and other internet services, including WhatsApp, will remain deactivated for now, officials said.
- Postpaid mobile phone services in Kashmir restored
Postpaid mobile services on all networks were restored in the Kashmir Valley on Monday, 72 days after they were snapped following restrictions. Some 40 lakh postpaid mobile phones have become operational from Monday noon. Restrictions were imposed after the Centre on August 5 abrogated the state's special status and bifurcated it into Union territories.
- Postpaid mobile phone services to resume from Monday in Kashmir
All postpaid mobile phones in Jammu & Kashmir will be resorted from October 14 noon, government spokesman Rohit Kansal confirmed. The subscribers will have to, however, wait for some more time for internet services to resume in the Valley. Mobile services were shut down on August 5 after the Centre announced abrogation of the special status of J&K.
- 70 days on, Valley's postpaid mobiles to come alive on Monday
While voice calls and SMS will be enabled, mobile internet will remain barred for now. The move is set to benefit those of around 40 lakh postpaid mobile subscribers in J&K who are in the Valley. Around 20 lakh pre-paid connections - which work only in the state and lack roaming facility - remain non-functional. In normal course, prepaid SIM cards bought outside J&K too do not function in the state.
- Postpaid mobile phone services likely to resume in Kashmir from Monday
Postpaid mobile services, which were slated to resume on Saturday in Kashmir, will resume from Monday, a major step towards easing curbs in the state, officials said. Restrictions were imposed 69 days ago after the Centre abrogated Jammu and Kashmir's special status. Internet facilities have also been made available at tourist places.
- Mehbooba slams Centre over restrictions in Kashmir
PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti took to Twitter to share a media report, which quoted sources and stated that the J&K administration is all set to restore the postpaid mobile telecommunication in the Valley. Mufti said, "...Most people have prepaid Jio/Airtel subscribers. GOI continues to embarrass itself internationally with its 'normalcy' acrobatics."
- Landlines get a boost in J&K as shutdown affects mobile networks
The active mobile subscriber base in Jammu & Kashmir has almost halved from July to September. However, there was an increase in the state’s number of landline connections, which were the only communication link amid the communications clampdown that began in August.
- MG Motor India launches mobile showroom Experience on Wheels
MG (Morris Garages) Motor India launched another experiential customer touchpoint – MG Experience on Wheels - a mobile showroom. The brand aims to further its customer engagement across India as well as reach especially where its showrooms are not yet present, the company said in a release.
- Toyota Mobility Foundation and WRI India Ross take STAMP initiative for first and last mile connectivity in metros
Over the last few decades, India has witnessed a fast-paced urban growth of its cities accompanied by population and economic growth. This rapid urbanisation has led to multiple social and environmental issues that are currently being faced by several metro cities in the country, including those related to satisfying the mobility needs of its people.
- As mobiles ring back to life, Jammu and Kashmir finds lost connections
Mobiles sprang back to life in the Valley at noon on Monday after 72 days of silence, and with it were restored the pulse of a courtship here, the synergy of a business relationship there and all the little big moments of life captured in a phone conversation.

The streaming giant has signed a new licensing agreement with digital rights agency Merlin, which represents thousands of the world’s leading indie labels – including XL, Domino and Warp – that will offer labels the chance to introduce a “windowing” option with their releases. This means that new albums could be restricted to the site’s paying subscribers only for the first two weeks.
The move is seeking to encourage users to pay for a subscription, which generates more revenue for artist and label.
Spotify signed a similar deal with Universal Music Group (UMG) earlier this month that allows the major label to hold back certain albums from the streaming service’s free tier for two weeks. UMG’s roster features some of the world’s biggest artists, including Taylor Swift and Kanye West.

Yokohama Triennale 2017: “Islands, Constellations & Galapagos.”
August 4 – November 5, 2017
Yokohama Museum of Art, Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse No.1, Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall (Basement)
Maybe this is the result of being a curator myself, but when I look at an exhibition I tend to view the curatorial statement as a kind of mandate, something which the curators set out to fulfill. I am something of a stickler . . . the words “cantankerous” and “obstinate” would not be out of place. Like an exam invigilator I peruse the artworks with furrowed brows; in my mind, I doll out check-marks and x’s, a smile of understanding or a disapproving frown. Perhaps it’s a bit dogmatic, but I find it a useful tool for sorting and analysis.
Of course, if you set yourself with something simple like “Viva Arte Viva” or some such giant catch-all theme then you will most likely fulfill your remit, but you would also be graded accordingly. At the risk of sounding completely reductionist, I see it as the “job” of the curator to make sense of the vague amorphous mass of information and organize it into a coherent structure.
Some might say that that kills the magic, to create a kind of matrix in which all artworks must be slotted — but like an unabashed schoolmarm I will crisply demand that “no square pegs shall be placed in round holes.” I have applied this rather dogmatic metric to the Yokohama Triennale, and unlike many biennales and triennales, it received remarkably high marks. So before we get into the work let’s break it down to brass tacks: the basic summary presented in their press materials reads as follows:
“Islands,” “constellations,” and “Galapagos,” are words that open possibilities for us to discuss various issues such as isolation and connectivity, imagination and guidance, distinctness and diversity, among others. In contemplating what we shall consider wisdom for our future during this time of uncertainty, we hope to engage people in these discussions using our imagination and creativity.
Isolation and connectivity—two themes which have great relevance to the world at large, and Japan in particular, meanwhile Galapagos refers to a distinctive phenomenon native to Japan, “Galapagos Syndrome”, whereby Japanese companies evolve certain products, which though very successful in Japan do not fare well in foreign markets. Key examples used are the mobile phone (Japanese phone technology is quite advanced, yet the phones often flop on the international market) and the Kei car (not to be confused with the K Car) — a lightweight car which received encouragement and incentives from the Japanese government but never found a footing abroad.
The key point is that the government created a special environment for the Kei car to thrive and this idea of protecting and nurturing to create special kind of “hothouse” very much reflects the changing mentality of the Japanese labor force which is increasingly shy, unwilling to leave Japan’s borders for work experience abroad.
Scholars Matori Yamamoto and Cindy Yoshiko Shirata, in their article “Evolving Transnationalism in the Asia-Pacific Region: The Perspective of Social Science in Japan” write:
“the [Galapagos] islands are a paradise of plant-eating animals. The absence of meat-eating animals leads to the absence of hard competition, since the animals do not fight to eat each other. In a similar vein, it is said that more Japanese, especially young Japanese, tend to evade competition and confrontation these days, in contrast to the period right after World War II, when Japanese society was very competitive in order to achieve rapid economic development.”
From this very specific local theme we can extrapolate more general themes related to the concept of islands, island culture, the evolution of culture within different isolated societies and this would be enough to develop a sophisticated and provocative triennale, but then you have the “constellations” element, which seems in a purely visual sense similar to an archipelago, (little dots of matter in a great expanse), but in fact a constellation is a very different concept as a collection of lights, distant and far away, celestial bodies which generally cannot support life. I guess one could say that from our own “social” and “geopolitical” islands, all other places and things seem like far away lights but the curators have linked it to “imagination and guidance.” Sure it’s true that since humanity is not mixed into one homogenous glob, that various countries and islands (metaphorical and real) produce culture and knowledge independently, evolving different products and ideas, but somehow this part seems to dangle lamely off the end of the concept as if someone in the triennale committee sought to take the edge off the more probing and self-critical elements and add in some happy sappy ideas more palatable to the general public.
Artistic Director, Akiko Miki in her statement about the project mentions a few key concepts which help frame the whole enterprise:
While the world today is expanding beyond traditional frameworks, and various kinds of networks are growing, it is being shaken to its foundations by challenges such as conflict, refugees and immigration, and the emergence of protectionism, xenophobia, and populism. At the same time, the world is awash in data far exceeding the processing capacity of human beings, and in an increasingly complex and sophisticated environment where communication tools such as social media are developing rapidly, people appear to be banding together into small, disparate groups of “island universe” and communities. Also, there is increasingly assertive activity by a wide range of small-scale organizations that challenge the dictates of superpowers and centralized political systems.
Okay great. Akiko Miki wins Massive points for clarity. We know what to expect. In many ways this is a very sophisticated triennale with deep interconnected webs of ideas which bind it together; for instance, the island metaphor extends to the curatorial approach which focuses on 40 artists each with their own cluster or archipelagos of works. It seems like a thoughtful method which benefits both viewer and artist. Despite a few seemingly disparate works (for instance Joko Avianto’s bamboo installation, “The border between good and evil is terribly frizzy”), on the whole we can say that this tightly curated triennale featured works which not only reinforced the theme but expanded it in different directions without stretching it to the breaking point making probing forays into topics such as “ideological reach”, migration, perceptual islands, the island in the literary imagination, the cultural evolution of isolated areas.
The first work encountered by the viewers is Ai Weiwei’s “Safe Passage” — a collection of inflatable rafts and life vests collected from refugees which adorn the outside of the museum setting the tone in a pretty obvious way. Some might say too obvious, but for the general public sometimes very clear hints like this can help provide traction on a difficult concept. The idea of countries as islands, places where we are either “stranded” or need to escape from, is all too familiar for Ai Weiwei — a refugee himself who has a complicated relationship with his homeland, his expressions existing largely on the internet outside the great firewall of China, his exhibitions occurring primarily abroad. “He Xie”, a collection of porcelain hairy crabs (which actually look more plastic) underlines this idea of the “territoriality” within the internet, hexie being Chinese internet slang for “censorship”. Sure the work is an unabashed one-liner, but it does contribute an interesting dimension in its discussion of the layers of virtual worlds which are the “islands” of cyberspace.
Leaving the main atrium, we see the work of Map Office, displayed on a purpose-built platform, which acts as a vehicle through which the artists introduce some of the geopolitical, social, historical and philosophical concepts associated with the island through the meticulous research-based platform.
Their work “Moving Lemuria” recalls the story of a mythical island, a supposed sunken continent between the Indian and the Pacific Ocean. Their installation is composed of shells and garbage taken from the beach on Sanibel Island, off the coast of Florida. Combining myth and reality, the work examines how islands are created, and for whom—more and more we see them function as territories for military bases and other forms of flag planting as is the case with “Liquid Land | Solid Sea” which examines the build up in the South China Sea, positioning islands as pawns in geopolitical machinations.
Picking up on this geopolitical theme, Map Office has collected the literary imaginings of islands taken from Japanese literature. A small booklet features snippets from Japanese authors, for instance, Haruki Murakami’s novel IQ84 which talks about the history of Sakhalin island just off the tip of Hokkaido near Russia—the source of many a territorial squabble. In their installation “Island for the Color Blind”, the physical island morphs into a perceptual one with an island made out red and green sea urchin shells spelling out the number 69 in the classical pattern of the Ishihara test. The sea itself presents its own kind of color blindness, with the blue-green cast of underwater light and particles floating in the water impacting our perception of color. Fish and other water-based mammals see differently from us, as do those facing various kinds of sensory impairments, which places them on a different plane of perception — at once isolated from those with normal sensory faculties but connected to others who share the same impairment.
After wending our way through Map Office’s trail of literary and political references, the viewer is greeted by the work of Mr., which at first seems strikingly out of place against the denser research-based practice of Map Office; the work employs the aesthetics of manga and anime, featuring pretty strong hints of lolicon (aka Lolita complex), with a painting of a naked man leering over a young girl with a miniature boy balancing on his penis. At first, the inclusion of his work seemed like a strategy to appeal to the pop tastes of certain audiences, but with its focus on otaku, this culture which emerged out of the specific Galapagos-like conditions of Japan, the choice to include it was logical, though some didactics on the background of the work might have been helpful justifying its inclusion.
The dance between isolation and inclusion, the center and the possibilities of the periphery are also at play in Yoi Kawakubo’s “Slice of a Torus for Terra Australis” which looks at the continent of Antarctica as a kind of non-territorial heterotopia — a space shared between the western nations for ecological research purposes where mining and development are prohibited. What interests Yoi Kawakubo is the utopian implications of a space which has not been perforated by one flag of one dominant nation. The work is a kind of mental map of the artist’s thoughts (Fukushima, capitalism, the dawn of globalization, authorship etc.) presented in the form of territory. The body of works presented by Yoi in this section are titled “El Sur” which in Spanish connotes not only the idea of “south” but also a place removed from civilization — a kind of frontier, separate from other dominant national cultures. In another work, “Atlas’ Wall,” the artist has sanded off layers of paint, from previous installs in the museum and the resulting shape looks like an economic graph. The name not only conjures up the Greek god, usually depicted with a globe on his shoulders but also a sense of geographical time, (perhaps even “art time” or “museum time”) — his excavations evoking the intimate relationships between economics, commodities, and the lust for territory.
This triennale feels, in a sense, like a series of overlaid maps, different territories and political ideologies mapped onto geographical regions — a theme which is reinforced with Christian Jankowski’s work “Heavy Weight History”. This time instead of Atlas with the world on his shoulders we have Polish weightlifters bearing the weight of history, literally hoisting up statues from not only the Communist era but also figures such as Ronald Reagan from the streets and squares of Warsaw.
Then in his video “Massage Masters” history is being massaged — public sculptures in Yokohama being caressed by Japanese masseuses recalling the frequent re-crafting and retelling of historical narratives which is all too familiar an activity in Japan. In “Artistic Gymnastics” we are presented with instructions on how to hold a certain pose to become a live human sculpture. The instructions are written in the style of an exercise video and the figures interact with sculptures in a comedic act which problematizes “historical stances and postures”, the public performance of historical narratives and the links between athleticism and nationalism.
The Propeller Group continues this trajectory into both the territorial and extraterritorial legacy of Communism in the sense of an “ideological reach” in their “Lenin As” series — a group of works taken from USSR headquarters embroidered to look like Leonardo Di Caprio —“Lenin as Jack Dawson in Titanic”, “Lenin as Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby”, “Lenin as J. Edgar Hoover in J. Edgar” — to explore the transnational appeal of the cult of personality.ThoughLenin’s celebrity status had a certain appeal within the red sphere, his celebrity doppelgängers have managed to achieve worldwide appeal. The group probes deeper into this dialogue about Cold War influence with the video work, “The AK47 vs. M16” — a video of two bullets from the American and Soviet firearms colliding in mid-air and until they fuse together.
From guns to gunboat diplomacy, Sam Durant’s series “Borrowed Scenery” looks at the connection between conquest and nation branding in relation to Japan’s opening up, (i.e. the end of its isolation at the hands of American general Mathew C. Perry in 1854). Durant examines how this event was depicted and packaged to the American public placing images produced by Wilheim Heine (an artist hired by Perry to document the process), alongside his own own drawings and maps.
A model of a container ship with a gunboat atop speaks to the enduring presence of trade and economics as motivating factors of geopolitical integration/annexation, meanwhile a series of images titled “American Presents,” explores sinister repercussions of these earlier cultural interactions. A playbill for “Ethiopian Entertainment” — a show held aboard the USS Powhatan, Colonel Perry’s flagship — lists a number of dubious acts: “Darkies Serenade”, “Oh! Mr. Coon” and “Massa’s in de Cold! Cold Ground”. Though perhaps not unexpected in the 1800s, the offensive tradition of blackface endures into present-day Japan.
Also in the realm of dubious cultural exchanges, Wael Shawky presented “Cabaret of the Crusades: The Secrets of Karbalaa”—an alternative view of the overseas adventures of the Latin Church, blurring the lines between history and fiction in court dramas enacted through puppetry. Shawky’s project was inspired by the book Crusades through Arab Eyes (1983), a collection of writings about the crusades by Arab writers of the Middle Ages, and the video seeks to explore how the entry of the Crusaders forced previously harmonious groups to splinter off into warring religious and cultural identities.
Adding a lighter touch to the theme of cultural isolation is Sputniko!’s “Why Are We?” Project, a wall of national flags featuring five commonly-searched topics about said country using the auto-suggestion function of a google search engine. While a country like Japan might have queries such as “Why is Japan so cool?”, Taiwan gets, “Why is Taiwan not a country”, meanwhile the UAE has three questions about wealth, the others left blank as if the public has exhausted its store of curiosity. This very simple installation and the rudimentary nature of the questions illustrates that we are still largely confined to our own islands . . . despite the connectivity of the internet, we are still hopelessly ignorant about the fundamentals of life in other countries.
Over at the other main venue, the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse No. 1 (a former customs house), Ozawa Tsuyoshi presented “The Return of K.T.O”, which offers an exploration of the art historian Kakuzo “Tenshin” Okakura and his personal struggles with local identity and internationalism. K.T.O was very influential and exposing the west to Japanese culture, influencing a number of figures from Heidegger to Tagore. The film takes the form of a music video which somewhat problematizes the gaze of the other and the act of travel as a means of self-discovery featuring the lyrics:
Watching from your journey, now in a six-sided hut. Watching the rough waves dance and rage. You continued to meditate on imperfection.
The life of K.T.O. does in many ways illustrate the conundrum of Island communication. As an individual who was deeply enmeshed in many cultures, with excellent language skills, who had a true intellectual dialogue with other scholars and artists around him, he nonetheless was the proponent of essentialist ideas seeing Asian cultures as focused on the transcendental and the spiritual whilst the west was only interested in immediate and earthbound concerns — perhaps islands and archipelagos are intricately entwined in the fate of humankind — no matter how much we try to comprehend others, we find it hard to escape from our hardwired cultural narratives says scholar M.G Sheftall:
At the most immediate interface of humans and culture, the symbolic function of culture provides us with a medium within which — and by which — we are able to create explanatory narratives for our existence (e.g., cultural creation myths, religious cannons, etc.). Such narratives provide us with individual and collective senses of cosmic significance. . . . As psychiatrist Ronnie Janoff-Bulman has framed this cultural function, “our symbolic world is an attempt to overcome and deny our biological fate.”
In speaking of biological fate, Janoff-Bulman is referring to mortality and our fear of it. This symbolic world of culture and meaning acts as a kind of opiate, a balm applied to this inevitable fact. Yet at the same time, these symbolic worlds act as both fortresses and prisons, creating walls between disparate groups, when ironically mortality is one of the few areas of common ground shared by all humanity, that and of course taxes. . .

New Delhi: Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi Friday wished party veteran L.K. Advani on his birthday. He turned 86.
Modi met Advani Friday morning before leaving for a rally in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, and presented him a flower bouquet.
The meeting between the two lasted for 15 minutes.
Advani was born Nov 8, 1927, in Karachi, now part of Pakistan.
“Best wishes to Advani ji on his birthday. He is always an inspiration for us,” Modi tweeted before meeting the BJP leader.
Advani had resigned from the party when Modi, his once prodigy, was elevated to the post of election campaign manager of the party.
He was pacified later, and the two have since been seen on the same stage together on several occasions.
Modi was formally announced BJP’s prime ministerial candidate in September. Advani has since also endorsed him.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers left Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with a broken right collarbone and the team says there is a chance Rodgers could miss the rest of the season.
Rodgers was injured in the first quarter after landing on his throwing shoulder after being driven down to the turf by Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr.
He was taken to the locker room on a cart after being examined on the sideline in the medical tent and replaced in the lineup by backup Brett Hundley, who is the only other quarterback on the team's roster.
Rodgers, who missed seven games in 2013 with a broken left collarbone, was 2/4 for 18 yards before the injury.
The two–time NFL MVP threw for 1,361 yards with 13 touchdowns and three interceptions this season.

The fast-casual dining chain said the quarter was helped by the menu price increase it announced earlier this year. The company had said in April that it would raise menu prices companywide for the first time in three years as it reported higher food costs. A prolonged drought in the southern U.S. Great Plains reduced the nation's cattle supply to six-decade lows, leading to higher beef prices.
The price increases didn't scare away customers. Same-store sales, an industry metric that excludes newly opened or closed locations, rose 17.3% for the quarter, compared with analysts' expectations of a 10.5% increase in same-store sales.
Chipotle said it raised prices in the quarter by about 6.5%, on average. Because beef costs were higher, the chain raised steak prices by 9% on average and said it saw some customers trade down to chicken, the price of which Chipotle raised by an average of 5%. The chain said it would watch for customer resistance to the price increases and further trading down.
Shares climbed 10% to $648.98 in after-hours trading as results easily topped estimates.
Overall, Chipotle posted a profit of $110.3 million, or $3.50 a share, compared with $87.9 million, or $2.82 a share, a year earlier. Revenue rose 29% to $1.05 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters projected earnings of $3.08 a share on revenue of $990 million.
The company opened 45 new restaurants during the quarter, bringing its total to 1,681. For the full year, restaurant openings are projected at 180 to 195.
Chipotle said food costs were 34.6% of revenue, an increase of 1.5 points, reflecting higher prices for beef, avocados, and dairy, partly offset by the menu price increase and lower tomatillo prices.
Restaurant level operating margin was 27.3% in the quarter, down 0.3 points from last year's period, reflecting higher food and marketing costs.
For the full year, Chipotle expects a percentage increase in the midteens in same-store sales. In April, the company's outlook was for a high single-digit increase in same-store sales, excluding menu price increases.
Chipotle has sought to differentiate itself from the "typical fast food experience." The company has been working to strip out genetically modified ingredients from its menu. In June, the company said it planned to purchase more than 20 million pounds of locally grown produce this year.
Fellow fast-casual chain Panera Bread Co. is slated to report quarterly results July 29. Earlier this month, Potbelly Corp. said same-store sales for the quarter fell short of expectations.
After Chipotle reported its results, S&P Capital IQ maintained its "hold" opinion. S&P Capital IQ equity analyst Efraim Levy said, "We expect Chipotle sales to continue to outperform the industry."

I have to confess I have not been on the air for the last 18 months or so. So, I fished my QYT KT-8900D, MFJ-4225MV 12V power supply, and a dual band mag mount whip out of my storage container. Stuck the mag mount outside, ran the cable through an existing opening, connected everything, powered up, and then realized I needed to reprogram the KT-8900D.
I have a dual boot setup on my computer, and happened to be booted into Windows 11 instead of Ubuntu. So, I went out and downloaded the latest version of CHIRP. However, when I plugged in the USB programming cable for the KT-8900D, the Prolific USB driver complained that it wasn’t a valid Prolific device. Gee thanks, Prolific! Or maybe that should be “Gee thanks to the Chinese silicon vendors that cloned Prolific’s chips and used their VID/PID”. Anyway, I went off in search of the solution that would get my USB programming cable working under Windows.
Turns out I needed to downgrade to an older version of the Prolific USB driver, v184.108.40.206, which can be downloaded here. I went ahead and used Device Manager menu to manually uninstall and remove the current driver, then installed the v220.127.116.11 driver, then rebooted and everything worked.
Downloaded the radio memory, and since it was all out of state repeaters that I will not need in my new location, cleared all memory slots except the first two, and typed in the parameters for two local repeaters, which I obtained from repeaterbook.com.
After CHIRP uploaded to and reset the radio, I selected the VHF repeater, listened for a bit and heard no traffic, so I kerchunked and got the repeater ID! Woo hoo! Of course, I know you’re not supposed to kerchunk, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt just this once. I monitored the VHF repeater for a couple more minutes but there wasn’t much traffic, and there was a lot of QRM that sounded like people trying to get in with HTs or something.
Next, I switched over to the UHF repeater, which is linked full-time to SARnet. When you key your mic on a SARnet repeater, you are hitting all 17 repeaters statewide that are networked via the Florida DOT microwave system (analog, baby!) with towers up and down the major Interstates and Turnpike. That’s quite a megaphone!
I monitored the UHF repeater for a few minutes, and heard traffic from all over the state, mostly signal checks from people traveling the Interstates, trying to see if they are hitting the various repeaters as they travel between coverage areas.
I waited for a lull in the traffic, keyed the mic, counted silently to one, and said: “This is AE0BQ alpha echo zero bravo quebec looking for signal check please”. KF4ZOJ came back and said I was 5 by 9 and full quieting. This stands to reason as I’m running 25W about 3 miles from the repeater input. Being nervous and rusty, I fumbled his call sign, sorry about that, KF4ZOJ! Also did a quick QSO with K4NRD and KQ4DFJ.
I’m back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly jimson weed
I’m back in the saddle again
Rest in peace, Orvon Grover Autry


The Space Invaders tackle teen boy's 'Room of Doom' filled with 10 years of stuff
Any parent of a teenager knows how hard it can be to get them to clean their room, but on Saturday night's episode of Space Invaders it took mess to a new level.
Single mum Liza and her 15-year-old son Fletcher have been living in the same rental home for the last 10 years, but in that time clutter and stuff have piled up everywhere.
One of the biggest problems was definitely Fletcher's room, which was nicknamed the 'Room of Doom' by the family.
Host of the show and decluttering guru Peter Walsh made it clear the room was the one thing he wanted to fix. He was visibly shocked when he walked in for the first time.
"I step into Fletcher's room and I am in shock," Peter told the cameras.
"It's overwhelming, there's so much stuff everywhere. There's books and toys and clothes and models and sporting gear. I just don't know how Fletcher's able to do anything in this space."
When they started talking about the room and how it got to the stage it is, Fletcher admitted he's the problem.
"I don't throw much away, as you can see," he said. "Just old stuff that I used to play with as a kid, that's mainly what's in my room. We moved here when I was five, I've never really gotten to throw anything away, it's just kind of there in my room."
Fletcher has hopes of joining the navy when he's older. Peter set out to turn the room into something appropriate for a teen, and something that will help inspire his future career.
The most shocking thing came when they emptied out just three rooms of the house — the living room, dining and home office and Fletcher's room — and took the contents to a nearby hall.
Fifty-eight boxes came out of the living areas, but an eye-watering 58 came out of Fletcher's room as well.
Even Liza was floored by what had come out of her son's room and admitted she had no idea it had got that bad.
Peter confronted Liza about the clutter problem and after some harsh words, made her see that Fletcher has put a lot of the blame on himself, even though she's responsible for it too.
"Procrastination and laziness is a big thing for me, and not knowing where to start – because it's become overwhelmingly junky," she admitted.
As they started to work through it, it was clear Fletcher had a big clutter problem and has issues letting go of some childhood memories.
Peter believes memory clutter is one of the two main forms of clutter, which stops people being able to throw things away or donate them, out of fear they will lose the memory of it too.
One of the first things they tackled was his hat collection, which had grown to over 150. Peter made Fletcher narrow it down to just 20 to keep.
Back at the house Cherie got to work on the renovations with Liza's dad, who got emotional talking about his grandson.
He believes Fletcher's clutter comes from missing his dad, who has moved to Tasmania since he and Liza broke up. It almost had Cherie in tears too as they discussed it.
Back in the hall and six racks of clothes alone had come out of Fletcher's room. Peter made him get brutal as he sorted through what was to be kept.
At one point he said he wanted to keep a small child's jumper, which had Peter once again asking why? They eventually decided it would be something worth donating to someone who needs it.
In the end he culled the racks of clothing down to less than two, an incredible transformation for the teenager.
Tough love from Peter for both Liza and Fletcher helped them see how much their clutter and stuff was holding their lives back. In the end they had just 22 boxes going back to their house, getting rid of a whopping 78 per cent of what they started with.
See the complete before-and-after transformation of their home in the gallery below.
Space Invaders airs on Saturday nights at 7.30pm on Nine and 9Now.

All Together Now
Three years ago, when Welborn Young was named director of the Windy City Gay Chorus, he knew little of the ugly conflict that had created the job opening. His predecessor, Richard Garrin, had founded the chorus and served as director for 15 years; he’d taken an amateur ensemble and turned it into a nationally respected choral group, proving that professionalism could in itself be a statement of gay pride. But Garrin’s perfectionism won him a reputation as a martinet–especially when he interrupted a concert to upbraid the audience for coughing. And his mania for commissioning new choral works was apparently driving the group into the red: by 1993 it was struggling under a $50,000 deficit. Attendance was dropping, and Garrin was criticized for concerts that were too long and serious. After a fiery clash with the board of directors, Garrin was fired.
Garrin’s exit “barely even came up,” says Young, recalling his initial meeting with the board. A doctoral candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, he had an extensive background conducting choral music in central Tennessee, and evidently he struck the right chord with the directors, who wanted to move the ensemble closer to the mainstream without corrupting its well-burnished image. They seem to have chosen wisely: as Young begins his fourth season, the 78-member chorus has erased its deficit and is operating on an annual budget of approximately $260,000. Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the chorus is part of Windy City Performing Arts, an umbrella organization that also includes the 68-member gay-lesbian chorus Unison and two smaller choruses, the lesbian group Aria and the gay group Windy City Slickers.
With each new season Young has tried to raise the chorus’s visibility and spark wider interest in its work. On November 13 the performing arts organization will release a holiday album featuring all four choruses, and next spring WCGC will put out a greatest hits CD covering the last two decades. That album will include extensive excerpts from Jonathan and David, a new work commissioned in honor of the 20th anniversary that will premiere in March 1999 at the Athenaeum Theatre. Composed by Eric Lane Barnes (whose musical revue Fairy Tales has been produced in New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, and London), Jonathan and David explores a love relationship between the biblical characters Jonathan, son of King Saul, and David, the shepherd boy destined to become king of Israel. Like Terrence McNally’s new play Corpus Christi, which is said to portray Christ in a gay context, Jonathan and David will likely cause controversy, but Jamey Thompson, general manager of the chorus, defends the piece: “While it may be deemed offensive by some people, we believe this new work will stand up as a quality piece of music.”
Young’s had his share of problems as well. Two seasons ago he staged a decidedly mainstream concert for Gay Pride Month that included songs recorded by the Village People and Patsy Cline; the choices annoyed some chorus members, who felt such fare was better suited to the lighthearted Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus than to a serious group like the WCGC. Phillip Carson, chairman of the board, says that no one has tried to dictate the programming, but since then Young has avoided such material. In future seasons he hopes to stage a millennial concert and to perform in the suburbs and in towns like Rockford and DeKalb, where gay audiences have little or no access to a group like his.
In a bold move, the Goodman Theatre and the Lyric Opera of Chicago have set out to erase the line between opera and musical theater, which Broadway has already been doing for about a quarter of a century. What’s more, Lyric and Goodman want to develop new works that will attract large audiences while maintaining “a high musical standard,” according to William Mason, general director of the Lyric. “Through history, thousands of operas have been written, yet perhaps only 20 or 30 have earned a place in the standard repertoire.”
Over the past dozen years the Lyric’s composer-in-residence program has produced more than its share of forgotten operas: Bruce Saylor’s Orpheus Descending, Bright Sheng’s The Song of Majnun, Lee Goldstein’s The Fan, William Neil’s The Guilt of Lillian Sloan. Now Lyric and Goodman are commissioning, developing, and producing new works by Adam Guettel and Michael John LaChiusa, both of whom have been working off-Broadway for several years. Guettel and LaCiusa write in a cool, cerebral style reminiscent of Stephen Sondheim; in fact, LaChiusa and Guettel were the first and second recipients of the annual Stephen Sondheim Award, which is presented to new composers.
Richard Pearlman, director of the Lyric Opera Center for American Artists, says that both Goodman and Lyric had been compiling lists of promising composers, and when representatives from both organizations sat down to discuss a joint venture, Guettel and LaChiusa topped both lists. But if Lyric and Goodman truly hope to attract large audiences, why are they commissioning work from two artists who are so similar and whose music has limited appeal? Perhaps Goodman wanted to validate its decision this season to mount Guettel’s earlier work Floyd Collins, a musical that received mixed notices off-Broadway in 1996. The new works should reach the Goodman’s main stage within the next few years.
Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the new production from Lookingglass Theater, has just added 50 cents to its ticket price: because the show has no intermission, Ivanhoe Theater owner Doug Bragan insisted on the surcharge to make up for lost revenue at the theater’s bar. Bragan says the charge is standard policy, and he was quick to defend the concept of intermission: “A lot of people need to use the restroom, or take a breather if it’s a serious show.”

EU confirms adequate level of data protection in Switzerland
On 15 January 2024, the European Commission issued its report on the sufficiency of data protection measures in certain third countries. It acknowledges that inter alia Switzerland continues to provide an adequate level of personal data protection. Henceforth, personal information originating from a European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) Member State may be transferred to Switzerland without requiring supplementary assurances to ensure a sufficient standard of data protection.
Since 2000, the EU has deemed Switzerland’s data protection to be satisfactory. In spring 2019, subsequent to the implementation of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2018, the European Commission commenced a reevaluation of the sufficiency of data protection in a number of third countries, including Switzerland.
In recent years, Switzerland, similar to the EU, has witnessed the advancement of its data protection legislation, according to the Federal Council’s media release. This is to ensure its alignment with evolving technological circumstances and to accommodate EU and international reforms concerning data protection. The newly implemented provisions of the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) became effective on 1 September 2023, and serve as a requirement for the EU to acknowledge adequacy.
Switzerland also determines which nations provide sufficient data protection from its standpoint. The annex to the Swiss Federal Data Protection Ordinance (DPO) contains the corresponding list of countries, which is published by the Federal Council. This information is legally binding and accessible to the public for data controllers. Switzerland has deemed the data protection standards in the EU and EEA member states to be satisfactory.

If you’re worried that the computers are getting smarter, then you might just be right as a machine has successfully learned how to diagnose Alzheimer’s and is now more accurate than any other method.
The machine learning program, which gets more intelligent over time, is able to make a diagnosis before the commonly known symptoms (such as forgetting where you put your keys) start to become noticeable in everyday life.
And as Alzheimer’s has no cure, early diagnosis is key to preserving patient’s independence.
Developed by researchers at Case Western Reserve University, the smart algorithm (known as Cascaded Multi-view Canonical Correlation or CaMCCo) takes measurements from MRI scans.
And then in a two-stage review it examines the the hippocampus, glucose metabolism rates in the brain, proteomics, genomics, mild cognitive impairment and other parameters in order to predict whether the brain is healthy or has early-onset dementia.
Professor Anant Madabhush said: “We deliberately included mild cognitive impairment, which can be a precursor to Alzheimer’s, but not always.”
First, it selects the parameters that best distinguish between someone who’s healthy and someone who’s not. And second, it selects from the unhealthy variables those that best distinguish who has mild cognitive impairment and who has Alzheimer’s disease.
“The algorithm assumes each parameter provides a different view of the disease, as if each were a different set of colored spectacles,” said Madabhush.
When it was tested on 149 patients CaMCCo outperformed individual indicators as well as methods that combine them all without selective assessment.
It also was better at predicting who had mild cognitive impairment than other methods that combine multiple indicators.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, a progressive and irreversible neurological disease which affects multiple brain functions and affects an estimated 850,000 people in the UK.
The exact cause is unknown although a number of things are thought to increase likelihood including old age, a family history of the condition, previous severe head injuries and lifestyle factors associated with cardiovascular disease.
