This symposium aims to take stock of Latin America’s speculative fiction production—understood broadly as an umbrella term that includes a variety of genres, such as science fiction, horror, fantasy, and their subgenres and derivatives. Surviving the Anthropocene will address this earlier literary production in the 20th century until the cyberpunk boom of the 1990s but, most importantly, will put the focus on the past decade, when both the writing and the scholarly study of Latin American speculative fictions have exploded. This cultural phenomenon has coincided with the emergence of a variety of discourses around the Anthropocene —the current geological epoch in which the human has become a dominant force on the environment— that have attempted to make sense of the accelerated global ecological changes.
Overarching framing questions include: What works, tendencies, preoccupations, and thematic axes comprise and characterize speculative fiction in/from Latin America during the era of the Anthropocene? What are the contours of the local contexts—political, economic, social, and cultural—that inform and inspire the works produced? How have authors from the region imagined ecological transformation in the era of global warming and mass extinction?
Panels, roundtables, book presentations, and keynote speeches compose the 10 sessions presented at this symposium (see the online program for details and participants' profiles).
Session themes include: Speculative Ecocriticism; New Weird and Gothic Horror; Science Fiction from the Past; Posthumanism; Necroliberalism; Women Authors of Speculative Fiction; Neoindigenist, Afrolatino, and Chicanx Futurisms; Less-studied regions/countries: Central America, the Caribbean (beyond Cuba), Paraguay, and Colombia.
Keynote speakers: Alberto Chimal and Elizabeth Ginway.

The rapper makes a speedy recovery after losing teeth in a backstage golf cart mishap…
T-Pain was true to his name this weekend after he ended up in hospital for some emergency dental surgery.
Pain lost four teeth and had cuts and bruises when his golf cart flipped over in a backstage accident.
His injuries caused him to miss Lil Wayne’s I Am Music Tour in San Jose, California but he was back on stage on Sunday night in Gibson.
Talking of his accident, Pain told his audience: “There's a lot of talk that I flipped over in a golf cart…That's f---ing true."
Despite his injuries, Pain was in good spirits telling the Gibson crowd: “I don't give a f--- how many golf carts I flip over. If I was any less of a showman tonight, I apologize."
Although the accident caused him to miss the video shoot for Lil’ Kim’s new video Download, the rapper will feature once he makes a full recovery.

Congress is back in town this week, and will resume its power struggle with the administration. The president may be a lame duck, but he closed out the 2007 legislative year by winning a budget battle. It was an important show of presidential strength for an administration entering its final year. Yet sadly, it was no big win for fiscal conservatism, a philosophy that’s been under assault.
Just how bad has the start of this millennium been for budget hawks? Think back to 1999. The United States was engaged in a war in Kosovo, we were worried about Y2K, and president Clinton was entering his last year in office. Total federal spending was $1.7 trillion.
Since that time we’ve added more than another trillion dollars to the federal budget. Even after adjusting for inflation, spending has increased by about a third over the last eight years.
There are understandable reasons for some of the increase in our budget: Most notably, America’s population has grown — though not nearly as fast as spending. The total population in 1999 was 273 million; today it’s 304 million. Yet the federal government now spends about $9,000 per person, nearly $3,000 more than was spent in 1999. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are part of the reason for the federal budget’s tremendous growth, but domestic spending has also been on the rise: Non-defense discretionary spending grew by more than a third in real terms since 1999.
Imagine if Washington had grown only at the rate of inflation plus population growth since 1999. Not only would America have no federal deficit, but we would have hundreds of billions of dollars of surplus. Even if politicians had merely held the line on non-defense discretionary spending, our deficit would be nearly $100 billion lower.
Policymakers can justify some of the additional spending as necessary in the post-911 world. But just as surely as we’ve needed investments in homeland security and intelligence, plenty of the federal budget has deserved cuts. And let’s be honest: Returning to 1999 spending wouldn’t exactly be a journey to Spartan frugality. The Citizens for Government Waste found $12 billion of pork that year, which would have been a good place to start the trimming.
Nearly all of the current crop of presidential aspirants has tried to claim the mantel of “fiscal responsibility.” Democrats primarily use the term to call for rolling back tax cuts, ostensibly in hopes of eliminating the deficit, while Republicans refer to a return to spending restraint. Yet the real budgetary challenge for the next President won’t be the yearly tug-of-war with Congress over appropriations or tax cuts. In truth, our fiscal future largely will be determined by entitlement spending.
This year, less than half the federal budget was actively allocated by our elected officials; the rest was on autopilot. Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security accounted for more than 40 percent of total spending by Washington. As the baby-boomers retirement accelerates, these costs will skyrocket. The nonpartisan Concord Coalition projects that without serious reform (primarily of these big three entitlement programs), mandatory spending and interest on debt could consume all federal revenue by 2020. Nothing would be left for other domestic priorities, even for defense.
For the most part, the 2008 presidential candidates (with the exception of Senator Fred Thompson, who offered a detailed plan for reforming Social Security) have avoided any real discussion of how to bring these ballooning costs under control. Senator Obama was savaged by the left-wing punditry for daring even to suggest entitlement spending might be a problem.
A serious conversation is unlikely to happen unless Americans wake up to reality. The media, which obsesses about “gotcha” issues of marginal importance, should ask tough questions about the candidates’ vision for the federal budget. America needs a president who is committed to fiscal discipline — something far beyond the usual throwaway lines about eliminating government “waste” and reducing “unnecessary” growth in domestic spending. The next president will have to grapple with the runaway growth of entitlement spending, or the American people will one day be in for a rude awakening.

Kashmir political crisis is fuming with each passing day. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley recently told that the Battle in Kashmir is not between the people of Kashmir and the security forces. But the battle is in fact between the Government and the Separatists. This has caused a major outburst among the separatist leaders. Separatists of Kashmir have answered back for the same. They have said that this is the direct result of the military approach of the Indian government towards Kashmir.
Kashmir Political Crisis is not a day issue and it has been fuming since 1947. Separatists like Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, and Mohammad Yasin Malik have an alliance that is of course not evidential. Jaitley also said that people of Kashmir are with India and all these are the political agenda of separatist.
Separatists have framed charges against the government and said that this is an agenda. They said that innocents are being rampantly killed and rights to protest are being snatched by the government. Separatists have already called for four day shutdown. They have also asked the people to call for a peaceful protest after Namaz-e-Magrib.
Kashmir Political Crisis is boiling after the death of militant Burhan Wani. So far, 46 people have died in the violence. A violent mob attacked Police stations and Army camps as the situations getting intense with each passing day. Over 2000 civilians and 1500 security personnel have injured during the Kashmir Violence.
Valley is under tremendous unrest and peace can only be restored once both the parties come to a conclusion. The violence protest and the attack on the civilians both have to stop to bring back the normalcy to the valley. Separatists should also understand that violence will only lead to more deaths and causalities.

The Supreme Court for the USA has found that Corporations, as an entity, have the same natural status as a living person, and that a person can engage in willful lying, even if a person is lying by something as "sacred & patriotic" as having medals of honor from the USA military...
2012-06-28 "Lying about military honors protected, court rules" from "Washington Post"
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court struck down a federal law Thursday that made it a crime to falsely claim being awarded a top military honor, saying the law infringed on the Constitution's First Amendment protection of free speech.
The court ruling concerned the Stolen Valor Act, under which a Pomona man, Xavier Alvarez, was convicted for claiming falsely in 2007 that he had been awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest award for valor.
But Alvarez's attorneys convinced a lower court that his untruths were protected by the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech. And Thursday the Supreme Court agreed.
"Content based restrictions on speech have been permitted only for a few historic categories ... including incitement, obscenity, defamation," the court wrote.
Veterans groups expressed dismay.
"The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is greatly disappointed," the organization's commander in chief, Richard Denoyer, said in a statement. "Despite the ruling, the VFW will continue to challenge far-fetched stories, and to publicize these false heroes to the broadest extent possible as a deterrent to others."
The act allowed a fine and/or a six-month prison term for someone who "falsely represents himself or herself, verbally or in writing, to have been awarded any decoration or medal authorized by Congress for the Armed Forces of the United States."
The penalty increases to a year in prison if the person lies about a Purple Heart, a Medal of Honor or another particularly high honor.
There was no question that Alvarez lied. After winning a seat on Southern California's Three Valleys Municipal Water District board of directors in 2007, he introduced himself by saying: "I'm a retired Marine of 25 years. I retired in the year 2001. Back in 1987, I was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. I got wounded many times by the same guy."
None of that was true. But a district judge overturned Alvarez's conviction by declaring the law a violation of the First Amendment.
2012-06-27 "When Does Corporate Personhood Begin and Other Questions" by Dylan Brody
This week the Supreme Court said that Montana cannot limit the power of corporations to act as if they were people. And by "act as if they were people," I mean throw their weight around for their own benefit.
A friend of mine is a Republican and when I mentioned that I thought the idea that corporations are people was absurd, he said that corporations are made up of people and should therefore be treated as people. I wouldn't have a problem with that if -- you know -- it made any sense at all. A lot of things are made up of people. Chess clubs are made up of people. The Ku Klux Klan is made up of people. Soylent Green is people. It's people! I don't think anyone is arguing that the Society for Creative Anachronism should have a say in the workings of our national government just because it is made up of people.
If corporations are people, all groups of people should be treated as people, and yet the same judiciary and legislative organizations that wish to give personhood to corporations are perfectly willing to disenfranchise groups that are less likely be valuable allies in elections. Forgive me for seeking consistency in our definitions. But wait. If corporations have personhood, does that personhood begin at the moment that a corporation is conceived? Can the abortion of a business plan that seems unprofitable be seen as murder or does it not become murder until the corporation is fully funded? Wouldn't personhood of corporations make Bain Capital a serial murderer and, as such, subject to incarceration? Or are corporate people subject to different laws from corporeal people?
Ultimately, the question of personhood is a clever misdirection when it comes to Citizens United. The real point of the ruling is that money equals speech. The unspoken but dangerous corollary to this idea is this: Poverty is silence. Corporations are very, very wealthy. They have great resources at their command and therefore they can buy a place at the table. Individuals who do not have deep coffers should shut up and mind their own business, which, obviously, they don't do very well or they would have bigger businesses to mind and therefore be prepared to buy a voice. Who would have thought the trick to free speech would be the ability to afford it?
Maybe I don't understand what free means.
2012-06-26 "Supreme Court Reaffirms Corporate Personhood, Rejects State Campaign Spending Limits" by Isaac Dalke
Between the analysis of yesterday’s immigration ruling and the anticipation of Thursday’s healthcare ruling, all eyes have have been transfixed on the U.S. Supreme Court this week. Some have even gone as far as to deconstruct Justice Ginsberg's sense of humor to divine future rulings.
Amidst this hullabaloo, you may have missed that the court also handed down a major decision on campaign finance. In special occasions, when the court feels as though the outcome of a case is clearly decided, it will forgo a full proceeding and issue a statement. Such was the case with American Tradition Partnership v Bullock. In a one-page statement [http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/11-1179h9j3.pdf], the court overturned a Montana state campaign finance law that limited outside corporate contributions to local and state elections. The unsigned ruling reads, “Montana’s arguments … either were already rejected in Citizens United, or fail to meaningfully distinguish that case.”
Many hoped that the fallout from 2010's Citizen's United ruling would provide sufficient reason for the court to revisit the ruling in that case. However, the brief dismissal of American Tradition Partnership v. Bullock appears to preclude the possibility of the Supreme Court revisiting campaign finance in the near future, and means that the Citizens United ruling definitively applies to all government elections in the U.S. Unlimited corporate spending in campaigns is now, without qualification, allowed in everything from presidential campaigns to school board elections.
Montana's Corrupt Practices Act, which included the expenditure ban overturned yesterday, grew out of a specific set of real concerns in Montana a hundred years ago. The act was the result of a 1912 citizen initiative that followed a series of scandals involving the state's largest copper barons, who used their money to elect state senators and judges sympathetic to their industry. The extent and audacity of the corruption brought the state national shame and scandal. Within Teddy Roosevelt's administration, the widespread corruption came to be known simply as the 'Montana Situation.'
In yesterday's ruling, four justices dissented. In the dissenting opinion, Justice Breyer wrote, “Given the history and political landscape in Montana, that court concluded that the State had a compelling interest in limiting independent expenditures by corporations. … Montana’s experience, like considerable experience elsewhere since the Court’s decision in Citizens United, casts grave doubt on the Court’s supposition that independent expenditures do not corrupt.”
Justice Kennedy, the lone swing vote on the court who cast the decisive vote in Citizens United, rehashed his stance in siding with the majority. Harvard Law Professor Noah Feldman writes [http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-06-25/justice-kennedy-leans-liberal-for-now.html], "Had the court given the Montana case full consideration, it might have found some way to distance itself from the consequences of Citizens United. That it did not do so suggests Kennedy is perfectly comfortable with his role as the decisive conservative vote in that momentous decision."
One option is to give it time—as the bench slowly changes composition in the future, new justices may be persuaded to revisit campaign finance. Currently, there are four justices over the age of 70: Ginsburg, Scalia, Kennedy and Breyer. Kennedy and Scalia, 76 and 75 respectively, may not be willing to revisit the case, but their successors might.
Calls continue or a 28th Ammendment that would reverse Citizens United by abolishing corporate personhood. A resolution in support of such an amendment was introduced to the Senate in 2011, and currently has 22 cosponsers. Montana voters themselves will see a ballot initiative this November that would call on the state's elected officials to support such an amendment.
A third, but highly unlikely option, is for polititians to renounce outside corporate campaign financing and the influence of Super PACs. Elizabeth Warren and Scott Brown struck such an agreement in their race for one of Massachussett's Senate seats. Wouldn't it be nice to think that politicians could live above the influence of money?

The Edmonton Oilers were on the ice at Rogers Place Thursday morning for the first time in 12 days.
The Oilers have endured an unusual road trip that saw three games in Montreal postponed, followed by two overtime games in Toronto. It concluded with a lackluster game back in Montreal.
“I think it was nice to get home, sleep in our beds, be with families. That’s just a big energy booster right there,” said winger Josh Archibald.
Edmonton Oilers humbled by Habs
“Hope we got us back some energy,” said head coach Dave Tippett. “I don’t know if it was so much physical energy; but mental energy.
“You go on the road for that long and you’re kind of locked in a hotel. It wears on you a little bit.
“We had a good practice today. Hopefully, we got some of that zip back in our game that we were missing last game.”
The Oilers face more uncertainly with their schedule. They’ll play Calgary at Rogers Place Friday night. They’re scheduled to play the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday, but the Canucks had their Wednesday game against the Flames postponed after having two players and a coach go into COVID protocol.
“It’s not ideal, but every team is going through it.
“Our focus is on Friday; not on Saturday. We’re going to prepare for tomorrow and see what happens on Saturday,” said centre Leon Draisaitl.
Dominik Kahun was back on Draisaitl’s left wing on Thursday after being scratched the last two games. Alex Stalock was on the ice as a third goalie. The Oilers claimed Stalock off waivers from Minnesota on March 1. He hasn’t played this season after being diagnosed with myocarditis in November.
“We’ll see where he gets to you. He has good NHL experience. That’s why we picked him up,” said Tippett. “If we think he deserves a start, you never know.”
The Oilers and Flames are on 630 CHED on Friday with the Face-off Show at 5:30 p.m. The game will stat at 7 p.m.

We love learning new languages and being creative! Bizzie Bodies is an artistic group that organises a wide range of creative workshops while encouraging kids to learn French. We provide workshops in textiles, graffiti, photography, art, eco craft, music, dance and drama! We work in small groups so there is plenty of time for children to develop their own style and approach to learning. Workshops are for children aged 6-12 years old. We aim to develop workshops in a safe and engaging environment, encouraging children to learn a new language whilst promoting children’s creativity. Bizzie Bodies is Based in South London and was founded by Emilie Mendy in March 2013 to help build children’s interest in learning French as a second language. The company aims to facilitate social inclusion in multi-cultural societies, and provide opportunities for children who would otherwise have minimal access to creative learning outside of their school education. Emilie is a French National who emigrated to London in 2007. Emilie believes that, successful learning can be created through a blend of structured educational and creative activities provided in an open and inclusive environment. The Bizzie Bodies core philosophy is built around this principle of fun filled group learning, which is gaining more traction with every event.

The method Bizzie Bodies is using to teach the children is called: ‘LIFE’ Learn and Imagine in French through your Expression.
Bizzie Bodies teaches children to express themselves through the VAKOG system (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, olfactory and gustatory), to enable and encourage children to express themselves within a french context and engage in conversation with people from different backgrounds in one of the biggest multicultural city, London.

Methadone is used worldwide for the treatment of heroin addiction; however, fatal poisonings are increasingly reported. The prevalence of CYP2B6 and µ-opioid receptor (OPRM1) gene variations were examined between a postmortem population where the deaths were associated with methadone and a live nondrug-using control population using Taqman™ SNP Genotyping assays. The CYP2B6*6 allele was higher in the postmortem population, but the difference was not significant (P = 0.92). The CYP2B6 T750C promoter variation was similar in frequency for both populations. Linkage between T750C and CYP2B6*6 was identified for both populations (P < 0.01). The prevalence of the OPRM1 A118G variation was significantly higher in the control population (P = 0.0046), which might indicate a protective mechanism against opioid toxicity. Individual susceptibility to methadone may be determined by screening for CYP2B6*6.

Lake Zurich Police and firefighter/paramedics responded about 2:54 p.m. Friday, November 26, 2021 to a report of a chimney fire in the block of 100 West Harbor Drive in Lake Zurich.
Battalion 32 on arrival reported nothing showing from three sides.
The first arriving crews were on the scene within six minutes and started an interior investigation of the residence.
Crews quickly located a fire in the chimney chase. Upon further investigation, crews found the fire was contained in the chimney chase area, and did not extend into the residence. The fire was quickly extinguished and damage contained to the chimney.
The residence was occupied when the incident occurred. There were no civilian or fire crew injuries reported.

Bay’s Isuzu SA plant ships bakkie kits to Kenya
In the first intra-continental regional trade of its kind for Isuzu Motors SA, the Port Elizabeth-based vehicle manufacturer has started supplying knocked down (KD) Isuzu D-MAX bakkie kits to Kenya.
The kits are for assembly purposes at Isuzu’s manufacturing facility in Kenya.
The vehicle kits, which are exported from the Port of Ngqura, provide additional volume at the port while keeping jobs safe at the South African plant.
Isuzu Motors SA CEO and MD Michael Sacke said Isuzu’s market strength in East Africa could be attributed to the vehicles’ overall performance, reliability and customer satisfaction.
“We have put this project together in record time and anticipate that it will result in a win-win for both SA and Kenya.
"Some of the vehicle kits have already arrived in Kenya and the Kenyan team received comprehensive training in Port Elizabeth late last year in preparation for actual operations,” Sacke said.
Isuzu East Africa MD, Rita Kavashe, welcomed the decision to import the kits.
She said the programme gave the Kenyan operation more flexibility and an opportunity to remain competitive.
“Our import tariffs are lower on the KD kits, we create employment and we positively influence employee and customer morale by assembling the Isuzu D-MAX locally,” Kavashe said.
Isuzu commanded a 44.5% share of the Kenyan new vehicle market in 2019.
While volumes have been projected at 1,300 vehicles per year to Kenya through this programme, it is expected that this will further increase.
“The Kenya KD project is an important step in achieving our growth strategy which is geared at strengthening our presence in key sub-Saharan Africa markets through a combination of tactical SKD initiatives as well as various initiatives to strengthen our dealer distribution network,” Sacke said.
Isuzu Motors SA has a network of 79 dealers in SA and 33 in sub-Saharan Africa.


The missile has been developed as a joint venture between India's Defense Research & Development Organization (DRDO) and Russia's Mashinostroyenia research-and-production center.
"BrahMos is the best example of Russian-Indian cooperation," said India's President Abdul Kalam, who is often called "the father of the Indian missile program."
BrahMos is designed to destroy surface targets flying at an altitude as low as 10 meters (30 feet) and at a speed of Mach 2.8, which is about three times faster than the U.S.-made subsonic Tomahawk cruise missile.
The missile was first tested successfully in 2004. Its sea-based version was adopted in June 2006 and deployed on Project 11356 Talvar-class (Kryvack) frigates built in Russia for the Indian Navy.
However, it took Russian and Indian experts a while longer to develop the missile so it was capable of destroying ground targets.
"We had to do some additional work on the guidance and satellite navigation systems [of the missile]," said Alexander Dergachyov, board chairman of the BrahMos joint venture.
The company is currently working on the development of an airborne version, which could be installed on the Sukhoi-30MKI air superiority fighters of the Indian Air Force.
Experts estimate that India might purchase up to 1,000 BrahMos missiles for its Armed Forces in the next decade and export 2,000 to third countries during the same period.

Man released without charges after NW Side crash kills 1, injures 4 others
The people were waiting for a bus when a 34-year-old man lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the building, police said.
A man was released from custody after a driver crashed into a pizza restaurant Saturday on the Northwest Side, killing an 81-year-old woman and injuring four others.
The 34-year-old man was eastbound in the left lane of traffic about 3:41 p.m. in the 4700 block of West Fullerton Avenue when he lost control, went over the sidewalk and struck a Cochiaro’s Pizza restaurant, Chicago police said.
People were waiting outside for the bus when they were struck, the Chicago Fire Department said.
Myrna Logan, 81, was pinned underneath his vehicle and pronounced dead at Illinois Masonic Medical Center, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. An autopsy Sunday ruled her death an accident, saying she died of blunt force injuries related to the crash.
A man, 60, was also taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center in good condition with a leg injury, police said.
Two women, 64 and 86, were taken to Stroger Hospital, police said. The older woman had a broken leg, and the younger woman had leg injuries. Both their conditions were stabilized.
A 76-year-old woman was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston with a leg injury, police said. Her condition was stabilized.
The driver of the vehicle was treated and released from Community First Medical Center, police said.
Police said Monday morning that the driver was in custody and that charges were pending. By Tuesday, however, he was released without charges, instead being cited for failing to carry a driver’s license, operating an uninsured motor vehicle and failing to stay in his lane.

My most recent art quilt was made for a little girl's 2nd birthday present. She was extra lucky though, as she got it when she was 2.5 instead! This quilt was meant to be a simple wall hanging (once again it's a smaller piece), but ended up being more complicated due to the excessive zig-zag/satin stitching involved. More on that later.
The quilt was based on the amazing artwork done by Pete Revonkorpi. The image of the original picuture seen below has been mirrored. You can find the original on his website linked.
The hardest part in the planning for this piece was getting the gradient of color for the waves. I was not able to find fabric that had the gradient that I wanted or would be able to use, and using small pieces to graduate the color would be problematic (to say the least) with the size scale I was using. Eventually I decided to use fabric paint applied after I had cut the applique pieces out.
I used a textured white paint that had a slight foaming effect. I experimented with spraying the paint directly out of the spray bottle, but this didn't give me as much control as I wanted. Eventually I just used a dry brush technique to apply the paint. Once all the pieces were painted and ironed on (I used raw-edge applique with double-sided fusible webbing), I got to work on the embroidery.
The embroidery was relatively simple for this project, as the tunics and umbrellas of the little men were applique. I did take care to try and keep the shape of the 'raincoats' intact with the faces though, and to include a bit of character through mouth placement and the way the nose was sewn in. It was rather fiddly work. Eventually though, I loved my little umbrella men :D
With the embroidery complete, it was time to start the quilting. This was going to be a 'simple' process of small zig-zag lines following the waves. Instead it was incredibly hard and very slow-going. The lines started off thin in the background sections, and got larger towards the foreground, as you can see from the above picture. The smaller lines were really difficult to do, as the needle movement was so tiny, it was difficult to see what was going on and to maintain a steady line without rushing forward and stretching the stitch. Trying to maintain a steady line with the stitch-length was quite difficult to do, but got easier the wider the stitch length became. By the time I got to the fore-ground waves it was very easy (if a bit slow) to create the lines.
The other difficulty was sewing around the men. As you can see above, the lines get a bit mangled when approaching the face. This is again due to issues with stitch length, and probably nerves. The closer I got to the face, the slower my foot became, and the more out-of-sync with the rhythm. I ended up having to go over the lines again to fill in the gaps.
Eventually all the stitching was completed though, and the back looked almost as impressive as the front! to finish it up, I sewed in a metal rod for hanging, which also helps keep the quilt straight. All the parallel satin stitching made the quilt buckle a bit, but the rod helps it to hang straight. In the end these little art quilts are so much fun to make. The choosing, planning and working out exactly how you're going to accomplish it (and scrapping your idea when you find it's not going to work, then rinse and repeat), it just creates the best challenge. Then seeing your final product up on a wall, well that's magic :)
Keeping playing everyone!

The team at ThingLink is bringing its specialized brand of interactive images to Facebook.
The Helsinki-based company allows users to create interactive images with its online tool, those images can then be shared in fun and unique ways.
Using the program, users can place links inside of multimedia content. Once added to a users timeline, ThingLink creates a new type of interactive photo that engages the curiosity of users.
ThingLink CEO Ulla Engeström tells PRWeb:
“Images are becoming forums for conversation and discovery that include sharing, touching, commenting, and remixing rich media content created by others.”
Users can insert image links to music and videos, websites, and social profiles. The program works by pointing different icon types to different types of content.
Once images are created, ThingLink then providers users with analytics so they can determine how well their new interactive images are engaging with customers.
Other than GIFS, the use of images has long been considered a headache. In the past ,a simple Alt Text tag was the only way search engines could even read images. ThingLink, it appears, is changing that “dead weight” perception of the common internet-based image.
Do you plan on using ThingLink on your Facebook timeline?

SCOTTSDALE—The system of clinical cancer research, including that of head and neck cancer, is in need of an overhaul, but steps are being taken that might lead to more efficient work and will hopefully mean more medical breakthroughs, said David Schuller, MD, the chair in cancer research at the Ohio State University College of Medicine in Columbus, at the Triological Society’s Combined Sections Meeting, held here on Jan. 27.
“It truly is an inefficient process,” said Dr. Schuller, a guest speaker at the meeting. “There are a lot of delays. There is really not much in the way of formal prioritization.”
Federal funding has been stagnant for the past several years, stuck at about $160 million a year, he said. Additionally, he said, there is “extensive, if not excessive, oversight of the process.”
There are now 10 organized cancer cooperative research groups, composed of 14,000 investigators—making for a fierce competition for study subjects.
“They only accrue 25,000 patients a year,” said Dr. Schuller, a co-chair of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Head and Neck Steering Committee. “And so we have a bunch of physicians that are bumping into one another that are waiting for the next patient to be approved to a trial.” When it comes to more uncommon malignancies, the problem is worse, he said.
But, he said, “there are also possible solutions. It’s not that this has been an unrecognized problem.”
In 2005, the NCI created a series of steering committees tasked with coordinating cancer research throughout the U.S. The steering committee for head and neck cancer was formed in 2007.
At the NCI’s request, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) conducted a review of the Clinical Trials Cooperative Group Program. The IOM released its report in 2010 that included goals for the NCI, including improving the speed and efficiency of trials, incorporating innovative science and trial design, improving prioritization and selection of trials and better incentivizing for physicians and patients who participate.
To do this, the IOM recommended consolidating some research groups using pre-defined metrics to make those choices; downsizing disease-site committees; consolidating back-office operations; better coordinating and streamlining protocol development and increasing reimbursements in high-ranked trials.
The IOM also recommended the implementation of a national inventory of biosamples, a suggestion that Dr. Schuller said was particularly important.
“We are increasingly recognizing the importance of biorepositories,” Dr. Schuller said. “On a national level, though, we really don’t have a good system of coordinating that to maximize the use of these preciously important samples.”
The NCI, in response, is recommending that the 10 Cooperative Adult Research Groups be combined into four. It noted that the four pediatric research groups previously were combined into one, and that group should remain.
According to the NCI, the new system will be able to perform better in cases of less common malignancies; in studies requiring sophisticated imaging; in those that require rapid molecular characterization of tumors and in those that involve access to nationally overseen tissue resources. And it will prioritize studies, taking into account all diseases and methods of care.
Dr. Schuller applauded these goals. “They really have important relevance to the challenges we have to do in this kind of work as we deal with these relatively infrequent malignancies,” he said.
As for the Head and Neck Steering Committee’s work, in 2008, after a two-day planning meeting, members concluded that HPV-positive and HPV-negative cancers must be considered two separate diseases requiring separate trials. The committee also recommended that a central reference lab be used for fast turnaround and that the treatment of choice should be intensity-modulated radiation therapy. That work is about to yield benefits, Dr. Schuller said.
In February, the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group is due to begin a Phase III trial in which radiotherapy plus cetuximab is measured against chemoradiotherapy in HPV-associated oropharynx cancer. The results could lead to wider use of radiotherapy and cetuximab, a less toxic alternative.
“We’re quite excited about this first-ever trial,” he said, “that hopefully is going to lead the way for us to really truly analyze the role of this therapy in this favorable group of HPV-associated cancers.”
William Shockley, MD, chief of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, said the new approach to research brings high hopes. “[Dr. Schuller’s] main point was that there are many organizations that have overlapping functions. And I think that one of the big things that he pointed out was that we are gong to see consolidation,” he said. “And, hopefully, as we consolidate some of our efforts, some of our tissue banks, some of our organizations, we’ll be able to see some improvements of efficiency in how quickly we can study things, how well we can study the treatment of cancer.”

Join this session to you’ll learn about typical types of Napa Valley’s most widely planted varieties so that you’ll know what to expect when you work with wine in the market. This webinar is specifically designed for international importers, agents and their sales teams.
Napa Valley is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, the product a complex geologic history giving it one half of the world's soil orders and 33 unique soil series. The region also has diverse climate zones depending on a vineyard's proximity to water, altitude and aspect to the sun. All of this diversity contribute to the fact that we grow more than 40 different varieties in our small region of less than 20,000 hectares. Despite the incredible soil and climatic diversity, Napa Valley is primarily known for five major varieties, all produced in a range of styles: Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet-based Red Wines, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.
In this session is in support of the Hopwine Virtual Trade fair happening now where you can meet nearly two dozen wineries looking to expand their representation around the world.

- Court: 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Archives
- Area(s) of Law: Civil Rights § 1983
- Date Filed: 12-29-2022
- Case #: 21-35400
- Judge(s)/Court Below: Forrest, J., for the Court; Hawkins, J.; & Restani, J.
- Full Text Opinion
Petitioner wore a political hat to a teacher’s only training and was told by his principal that if he wore it again, he would “need to have his union representative present,” despite allowing other kinds of expressions of political speech. Petitioner sued, alleging retaliation after engaging in protected speech in violation of the First Amendment. 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Respondent’s motion for summary judgment was granted, based on qualified immunity. Petitioner appealed. Qualified immunity does not protect violations of “clearly established . . . constitutional rights . . . [that] a reasonable person would have known.” Horton by Horton v. City of Santa Maria, 915 F.3d 592, 599 (9th Cir. 2019) (internal quotations removed). Political speech is “inherently controversial” and quintessential protected speech. See Nat’l Ass’n for Gun Rights, Inc., v. Mangan, 933 F.3d 1102, 1111–12 (9th Cir. 2019). Disagreement with a political viewpoint alone is not enough to justify restraining expression at a public school, actual disruption is required. See, e.g., Pickering v. Bd. of Ed., 391 U.S. 563, 572-73 (1968). Fear of disruption, general unpleasantness and discomfort, always accompany controversial speech, but standing alone do not warrant discriminatory action. The principal was not enforcing a generally applicable policy banning political expression, she was singling out petitioner for his expression of political speech, which a reasonable administrator would have known was improper. Reversed in part.

Womenswear retailer Hobbs is investing £18m in multichannel integration and international expansion following a 10% sales rise for its autumn collection.
The pot of money will be used to add new stores and concessions to its portfolio and improve its website and m-commerce capabilities. The retailer is also to improve differentiation between its brands – Hobbs London, NW3 and Hobbs Invitation, which launched in March.
Chief executive Nicky Dulieu said: “It is a tough market but a very exciting time to be helping establish Hobbs at the very forefront of contemporary British designer fashion.”
Hobbs will also invest the money in developing multiple mobile device access as it prepares to launch its mobile site in March. It will also expand its social media and customer relationship platforms.
Hobbs chairman Ian MacRitchie said: “Our strategy is simply to offer our customers the choice of how and when to shop with us and experience our brands.”
Strongly focusing on its online offering, MacRitchie said Hobbs has a “comprehensive and detailed technology roadmap”, which it hopes will establish it at the “forefront of fashion retailing both domestically and internationally”.
Hobbs, which began online delivery to 20 countries over the past three months, is now looking to launch online in the Far East.
The retailer will also launch localised websites in 10 countries, which will be supported by a bricks-and-mortar presence through local concessions, trading partners and eventually flagship stores. Its full international plan will be finalised over the next 12 months.
Hobbs plans to open 18 additional stores in the UK and 16 concessions in the next 20 months.
The money will also be used to revamp 43 shops as part of a brand and range expansion programme.
Hobbs pre-tax profits soared 137% to £6.9m in the year to January 29. In June Hobbs secured £46.5m of funding from backer 3i together with Barclays and Co-operative Bank.
