Imagine if President Obama used the term “waterboarding” in a joke? Well, John McCain, the maverick did about Secretary of State nominee John Kerry, saying “We will look forward to interrogating him at his hearing next week, mercilessly. We will bring him back for only time waterboarding to get the truth out of him.” Sen. Kerry’s confirmation hearings will be held next week.

The Wicker Tree 2001, Robin Hardy’s sequel to The Wicker Man, is a film of unrealised potential but deserves more respect, writes BARRY McCANN
In 1998, Hardy announced The Riding of the Laddie, a thematic reimagining of The Wicker Man with an entirely new plot to star Christopher Lee and Vanessa Redgrave.
However, with the industry’s attention focused more on an official remake, funding for was not forthcoming and Hardy revised his script a number of times while novelising it in 2006 as Cowboys for Christ to drum up interest.
It finally arrived in 2011, now under the title of The Wicker Tree and not quite as originally envisaged.
New Story for The Wicker Tree
The new story concerns American gospel singer and evangelist Beth Boothby and her fiancé, Steve who travel to Scotland to perform missionary work and are invited to Tressock by Lady Morrison, wife of Sir Lachlan Morrison who owns the nearby Nuada nuclear power station.
He also acts as community spiritual leader, their religion honouring the sun goddess, Sulis, and Beth and Steve are ideal for their May Day traditions.
Beth accepts the honour of May Queen while Steve is challenged to the “Riding of the Laddie” where he is hunted on horseback while making for the appointed place. Unbeknown to them, visiting couples who fulfilled these roles on years past have met with grisly fates.
This scenario blatantly shares the 1973 film’s DNA of Christian evangelist lured into a mysterious Scottish pagan world for May Day sacrifice, and with a narrative that also interweaves song to foreground the unfolding drama. But that is where the similarities end, The Wicker Tree being a darkly satirical beast which mocks the blindness of religious zealotism.
Lachlan does not believe in the reintroduced religion himself and simply goes through its motions as a means of keeping order. Unlike Lord Summerisle, who enriches his island with orchards, Lachlan has poisoned his landscape with nuclear waste and uses ancient sun worship to convince his people it will cure their infertility, even though he produced the pollution that rendered them barren.
Role meant for Christopher Lee
The role of Lachlan was intended for Christopher Lee, but a back injury meant he was unable in to take the part in the end due to its physical demands, so Graham McTavish was engaged with Jacqueline Leonard as his consort. Determined he should have some sort of presence, Hardy added a flashback sequence with Lee as an elderly spiritual mentor to the young Lachlan and dressed in similar style to Lord Summerisle, but not stated as him as Hardy did not have the rights to use the character.
Hardy did borrow from other film texts to supplement his story, the closing scene where the character of Lolly gives birth to Tressock’s first child for years reciprocally borrowing back from the closure of the 1998 Wicker Man derivative, Dark Lands, itself an ending inspired by Rosemary’s Baby 1968.
The ritual scenes are more visceral and savage than in The Wicker Man, and reminiscent of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies (published 1954), culminating in Steve being slaughtered in an orgy of cannibalisation. Not a method of sacrifice usually associated with ancient pagan practices, but one of two conceits originated in Hardy’s intertextuality.
The other is the fate of the May Queens who are embalmed and added to a waxwork like display in the cellars of Lachlan Hall. Again there is no ritualistic precedent or logic to this practice, Hardy seemingly inspired by the classic Vincent Price thriller House of Wax 1953. It makes for striking imagery and a dark note to close the film, but it begs the awkward question of the Morrisons leaving themselves wide open should the police come searching.
So while The Wicker Tree manages to hold onto some degree of self-consistency in its initial stages of plot development, the narrative logic of its latter sections unravel as the film seeks to wind itself up with dramatically shocking effect. It also suffers from details being missed out in the shooting script which are present in the Cowboys for Christ novel and make more sense.
Firstly, why have the police not already come searching given the number of couples that have come to Tressock never to be seen again? The novel reveals that all the victims reportedly vanished weeks after leaving Tressock and from other remote locations. How this is arranged is one of the main twists and its exclusion from the film leaves a glaring hole.
The novel also reveals that the local police officer, Orlando, is an undercover detective secretly investigating the disappearances and slowly uncovering its conspiratorial underbelly, something not made that explicit in the film. Unlike Sergeant Howie who resists temptation offered by Willow McGregor, Orlando enjoys sexual games with local nymph Lolly, unaware she is keeping him under surveillance. And while Howie is lured into attending the May Day ritual, Lolly ensures Orlando is kept out of theirs by hospitalising him in an act of erotic asphyxiation.
Released straight onto DVD
Released straight onto DVD, The Wicker Tree was not greatly received in comparatives with its foster movie, while for others its sole redeeming feature was not being quite as terrible as the 2006 remake, directed by Neil LaBute. But even on its own terms, The Wicker Tree misses as much as it scores because, as with Neil LaBute, Hardy needed an experienced screenwriter to work over his script and eliminate its weaknesses while amplifying the strengths. Both their films are undermined by fragile structuring and ideas thrown in for impact at the cost of coherent narrative development.
In short, The Wicker Tree is a film of unfulfilled potential, one that could have been so much better if Hardy had swallowed his pride and placed his proposal in the hands of an accomplished writer. So it could be worth remaking, just so long as Neil LaBute stays well clear.

Indian Country Today
COVID-19 has struck Gambell, Alaska, a remote island village that is closer to Russia than the U.S.
This past week, two more coronavirus cases broke out in the small village on St. Lawrence Island, in the Bering Sea, bringing the total case count to 19 in a town of only 681 residents.
The community’s close-knit nature has fostered the spread of disease, officials say, while its isolation has made it hard to provide care.
Around 96 percent of Gambell’s residents are Siberian Yupik, and nearly all of them speak Yupik as their first language. The Chukotkan Mountains of the Russian Far East 32 miles away are visible from the village.
It typically costs at least $500 to make the 50-minute, 200-mile journey to the nearest hospital in Nome, which has about 10 respirators to serve more than 15 regional villages, the Anchorage Daily News reported. It’s another $500 and at least three hours of flight time to reach Fairbanks, where more intensive-care beds and respirators are available.
The newly infected patients are now safely isolated, according to the Norton Sound Health Corporation, a tribal health nonprofit that serves Indigenous people in Alaska’s Bering Strait region. Norton Sound Health Corporation has been working with state health officials and Sivuqaq tribal leaders to further contain the outbreak.
Testing kits are available at Gambell’s local clinic and at Nome’s walk-in testing COVID-19 tent, as part of Norton Sound Health Corporation’s strategy for combating the virus. They have tested around 400 Gambell residents since a six-person household tested positive for the virus earlier this month, reports say.
Gambell and the surrounding region are far from Alaska’s COVID-19 hotspots in Anchorage and Fairbanks. Anchorage has had more than 4,400 cases, and the Fairbanks area more than 1,100.
Despite the remoteness, the entire Bering Strait region has recorded 80 total coronavirus cases since the outbreak of the pandemic. Of those, 58 have recovered, while the rest remain active.
The city of Gambell has enforced a village-wide curfew to limit contact between residents. Masks are required in all public places, and grocery store visits are limited to one member of each household. The village has one grocery store, which has food flown in from Anchorage and Seattle. Residents also rely on whaling and other subsistence hunting and fishing for food.
“Elders and other residents with weakened immune systems should not go into public at all,” the Norton Sound Health Corporation said in a release.
In villages with small populations, quarantining can impact a town’s daily operations, even if most people don’t have the virus themselves. Both managers at Gambell’s general store had come in contact with someone who had COVID-19 in the past few days, and were quarantining until they got their test results back.
Joana Apassingok, Siberian Yupik, said the store’s staff is down to several workers as she and other employees fill orders that villagers phone in.
“Ever since they've been in quarantine, we’ve been going crazy here at the store. There's only six of us working right now, and so we're all taking orders like two at a time or three at a time,” said Apassingok, who has been substituting at the village store for the quarantined managers.
Gambell has also put restrictions on travel in and out of the area throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Residents must have proof of a negative test 72 hours before they leave or enter Gambell. Nonresidents must request access and receive approval before they can enter the area.

Great Family Vacation 4/3 with private beach/tennis courts/pools and more!
Tim and Melissa
About Tim and Melissa
My wife and I have vacationed in Harbor Springs for over 25 years. When we had children 17 years ago, we spent at least 1 week in the summer and 1 week during the ski season here with our family. We have created so many great memories of Harbor Springs, and the surrounding areas that when this unit became available In Harbor Cove, we jumped at the opportunity to own our own piece of the area. Harbor Cove is really one of the best places to be in Harbor Springs with its beautiful setting, proximity to a private beach house and beach (considered the best on the bay by most!) the amenities for friends and families, and the general location to everything that you would want in a vacation destination. We hope you and your family enjoy our home and the area as much as we do and that you create your own family memories.
Tim and Melissa purchased this Condo in 2013
Why Tim and Melissa chose Harbor Springs
After searching the area and looking at homes and condominiums in Harbor Springs and Petoskey, we decided that the location, beach, amenities and family friendly atmosphere in Harbor Cove was the best place to be located to enjoy our vacation rain or shine and anytime of the year.
What makes this Condo unique
secluded location in the Northern Michigan Pines, private beach house and 1 mile long private beach attached to another 2 miles of beach, hiking trails, indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub sauna, club house, playground, close to Harbor Springs and Petoskey, and easy access to Mackinac Island, Beaver Island and the U.P.
100% refund if canceled at least 60 days before arrival date.
Fantastic location and nicely remodeled condo
Condo was perfect for our family of 7 adults. Everything but the showers has been remodeled and the kitchen is nicely appointed. Comfy beds, enough seating at the kitchen table and in the living room in front of a cozy fire. We will be back for our annual ski trip next winter!
Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We are glad you enjoyed your time at our home.
Tim and Melissa
The condo was perfect in every way for our ski getaway. Great location and enough room for 8 adults without feeling like your stepping on each other. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to rent for golf or ski/snowboard trips.
We had an issue getting the key from the lockbox (my mistake, not the owners) and called the owner on the day of arrival. I received a call back from them within 3 minutes to make sure everything was ok.
Love this place. Can’t wait to stay there again.
Thank you so much for the kind words! So glad you enjoyed your time at our place! Please stay again :)
Melissa and Tim
Beautiful condo with many comforts of home. I especially liked the extra garbage bags, dishwasher detergent, soap, paper towels, bar soap and tissues. It was so nice not to have to bring these items from home. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and glasses. King size beds in three rooms was awesome. Great water pressure in the shower. Overall a perfect place for our family.
Up to date and comfortable
We've been renting at Harbor Cove for a longgggg time. This condo is an up to date, yet comfy version of the 4Brs we've rented a lot. Kitchen is modern with granite counters and new stainless appliances that work. The deck is nice and spacious. TV is great, internet is available, lots of comfortable seating.
Thank you for your kind words. We hope you will consider staying with us again!
Great Location and Facilities with Wonderful and Well Stocked Condo
We have been to the area multiple times. This complex is perfectly located to take advantage of everything the Little Traverse Bay area has to offer. On those days when you want to take it easy, the complex has great activities (pools - indoor and outdoor, tennis courts, playgrounds and a private beach) that you can take advantage of right outside your door.
We were also very happy with this condo. We were a group of 8. The condo was in great shape. The condo had great spaces to come together and have fun and enough space if a group wanted some space to do their own thing. The owners even sent me a quick email to check and see how everything was during our stay. Very nice.
The thing that impressed us most was how well stocked we found this condo. We have food allergies in our family and having a place and the ability to make our meals is very important. Over the years, we have created a box of items we have had to purchase during our trips because a unit either does not have a kitchen utensil or the existing utensils are in a very poor state. This is the first and only time we have not had to go shopping for utensils or use an item from our own traveling stash of utensils. The condo not only had everything we needed, it was in great shape. We really appreciated being able to spend our vacation enjoying ourselves and not having to go shopping for something. Big kudos to the owners.
Very clean and well equipped condo. Worked well for our family. The beach was fantastic and having access to the pool and tennis was great. We love the area!
The Harbor Springs area of NW Michigan is loaded with things to do. The town of Harbor Springs is app. 2 miles away along beach road and has lots of shops and restaurants in a beautiful setting on the bay. Petosky, a larger version of Harbor Springs is app. 9 miles away and has even more shops and restaurants in a beautiful setting also on the bay. Bay Harbor can been seen from the private beach and is app. 15 miles. Charlevoix, Mackinac Island, are all within 30 miles drive and are well worth the time if you can fit it in. PLEASE SEE OUR WELCOME PACKET IN OUR HOME FOR MORE SPECIFIC THINGS TO DO OR PLACES TO SEE WHILE YOU ARE VACATIONING HERE IN HARBOR SPRINGS

Article in The Buzz, May 2005
Islander Zachariah Wells has released his first book of poetry entitled Unsettled (Insomniac Press).
Zachariah describes the inspiration for his poetry: “I first went North in May of 1996 for a summer job as an airline cargo handler to help pay my steadily increasing university tuition. In early 1998, I started writing poetry in a committed manner. In 1999 I graduated and went North full time. Given this coincidence of vocation and avocation, it should come as no surprise that I was writing a lot of poems about the Arctic. In the earliest stages of my apprenticeship, it was a lot of very bad poems, though a couple of pieces originally drafted in 1998 have survived in modified form and are included in Unsettled, the book that resulted from my seven-year on-again-off-again love-hate affair with the territory of Nunavut.
“The book is as much a record of my voyages in poetry as it is of my boreal travels and travails. There are a lot of experiments with form and prosodic technique, a lot of dialogue with past masters and present-day practitioners. To me, this is crucial, as the best poetry usually has two subjects; while a poem is nominally about a person/event/object/perception, it is also fundamentally about the language from which it is built—it is about being poetry. This is what distinguishes it from what the poet Peter Van Toorn calls ‘utility prose.’”
Zachariah Wells is a native of PEI. He has lived in Ottawa and Montreal and worked as an airline freight handler on Baffin and Cornwallis Islands. He currently lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Internationally celebrated Hungarian novelist L szl Krasznahorkai has been heralded by Susan Sontag as "the Hungarian master of the apocalypse" and compared favorably to Gogol by W. G. Sebald. A new work by Krasznahorkai is always an event, and The Manhattan Project is no less. As part of Krasznahorkai's fellowship at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library, he has been working on a novella inspired by a reading of Moby-Dick. Yet, as he follows in Herman Melville's footsteps, a second book alongside the original novella took shape. The Manhattan Project is that book.
Offering a unique account of a great literary mind at work, Krasznahorkai reveals here the incidences and coincidences that shape his process of writing and creating. The Manhattan Project explores the act of creation through the lens of Krasznahorkai's encounter with Melville, and it places this vision alongside the work of others who have crossed Melville's path, both literally and fictionally.
Presented alongside Krasznahorkai's text are photographs by Ornan Rotem, which trace the encounters of writers and artists with Melville as they crisscross Manhattan, driven by a hunger to unlock the city's inscrutable ways. As Krasznahorkai goes in search of Melville, we journey along with him on the quest for the secret of creativity. The Manhattan Project provides a rare understanding of great literature in the making.


The Automotive Expertise program prepares students for employment as automotive technicians by offering them with state-of-the-art automotive service restore methods. It is an AC motor with a controller producing it from DC. In this kind, generally known as a fluid drive, an engine-pushed, fan-bladed disc, often known as the fluid flywheel, agitates the oil with sufficient drive to rotate a second disc that is related to the transmission. The program is designed to permit college students with full-time employment or different daytime commitments the ability to attend courses and obtain a certificates in a one-12 months interval, and no prerequisites or special applications are required.
When maximum torque is required, particularly at low speeds, the magnetic field energy (B) needs to be most – so that inverter and motor currents are maintained at their lowest possible values. The ability to diagnose the source of the issue rapidly and precisely, one of the technician’s most useful expertise, requires good reasoning means and a thorough knowledge of vehicles.
Consider and use technical data and testing procedures from quite a lot of sources to diagnose and repair various automotive system failures. A more environment friendly electric motor means you should use a smaller battery to achieve a given vary, which not solely lowers the price, but in addition reduces the battery’s weight and footprint. Moreover, we might not be stunned if Elon Musk broadcasts that the long-vary Mannequin three’s range will climb above the 310-mile preliminary estimate Tesla shared on the handoff social gathering by as much as 20 miles, presumably extra.
You may additionally choose at this point to transition from your undergraduate research in automotive know-how to an advanced diploma program in Engineering with a focus in Automotive Technology. This program prepares the student for a career as an Automotive Service Advisor. The electrical motors employed by Audi as drive systems could be divided into two groups.

The UK2070 Commission is an independent inquiry into city and regional inequalities in the UK. Chaired by Lord Kerslake, it has been set up to conduct a review of the policy and spatial issues related to the UK’s long-term city and regional development. Read YU’s response in full here.
The Higher Education Commission’s seventh inquiry is examining how Degree Apprenticeships (DAs) are being implemented. In 2015, the Government committed itself to overseeing the creation of three million new apprenticeships by 2020, and the development of DAs is seen as an important element of this policy. The reforms surrounding DAs, which combine workplace experiences with HE study, offer the opportunity for an apprentice to gain a full degree by the end of the apprenticeship.
UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) is working with the Government to develop a plan for how best to meet the Government’s target for the UK to increase investment in research and development (R&D) to 2.4% of GDP by 2027, and by 3% in the future. UKRI is also examining “what constitutes reasonable balance” of R&D funding. Against this background, the Science and Technology Committee has launched an inquiry on the ‘balance and effectiveness of research and innovation spending’.

The commission to the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) specifies a series of themes on which the government would like advice under the broad framework of the economic and social impacts of international students in the UK. As well as considering the overall impact, evidence and advice is being sought on the following: the impact of tuition fees and other spending by international students on the national, regional and local economy and on the education sector.
In October 2017, the Department for Education (DfE), on behalf of the Office for Students (OfS), launched a formal consultation on a new Regulatory Framework (RF) for the HE sector. The consultation will inform the approach taken by the OfS in its new regulatory role, enacting legislation laid out in the Higher Education and Research Act 2017.2
On 29 November 2017, the YU Board (comprising the region’s vice-chancellors) met Nicola Dandridge, Chief Executive of the OfS, in Leeds. At the meeting, YU was encouraged to submit a response to the consultation and in particular to consider how the RF should reflect the importance of ‘place’. This dimension has been given added significance following the publication of the Industrial Strategy White Paper. The YU response is designed to complement individual HE institution submissions and those made by national-level HEI membership bodies.


Former Premier League official Dermot Gallagher has suggested that Alexandre Lacazette should have gone down if he felt that he deserved a penalty in Saturday's game with Watford.
Lacazette appeared to be clipped by Christian Kabasele during the early stages of the fixture at the Emirates Stadium, but the Frenchman opted to chase the ball to try to get a shot away before going to ground.
The referee opted against awarding a spot kick, and Gallagher feels that the right decision was reached despite Lacazette looking to stay on his feet.
Gallagher told Sky Sports News: "I was watching this game live and I didn't think it was a penalty, but it's a point which comes back to Matt Jarvis for West Ham all those years ago against Arsenal if a player stops on his feet.
"What I would say in that incident, it is very, very difficult for the referee to give a penalty when he sees Lacazette going after the ball and to shoot like that. If you bring it back, you have given him two chances."
Arsenal netted twice during the closing stages to run out 2-0 winners in North London.body check tags ::

This year's edition features a strong international presence, in line with the fair's strategy of opening up new markets. Thus, MOMAD will be attended by companies from countries such as Germany, Austria, Australia, Colombia, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Paraguay, Poland, Portugal and Turkey, among others.
More than 200 companies will participate in MOMAD, including a number of brands from the Casual, Contemporary and Events Styles, with fashion proposals for celebrations, cocktail parties, evenings and ceremonies. As always, we highlight the Sustainable Experience area, which will feature more than 10 brands that ethically develop their production and marketing.
Another brand we recommend to visit is "JOYITA". This is the first project of job training and creation in jewellery where "we turn intellectual disability into jewellery", says Alicia del Amo, founder of DALAL (Inclusive Brand of fashion and jewellery) in collaboration with the Asociación Formadoras Capacitadas.
As usual, the organisers of the event propose a very attractive programme of conferences that are well worth a visit. We select those that refer to the theme of sustainability and others that influence or converse with it.
11.30 - How can sustainability challenges be taken forward sectorally?
11.00 - Biophysical design and user comfort. Here we will learn the importance of Design from the point of view of nature and sustainability in search of the user's well-being, prioritising concepts of comfort.
11.00 - Colombia, a country moving towards sustainable fashion.
Juan Pablo Socarrás, Colombian designer and entrepreneur, a reference in the leadership of projects of transformation and social impact through the design and creation of collections that connect with artisan, indigenous, displaced, Afro-descendant and traditional communities in Latin America, will talk about productive empowerment and sustainable development.
16.00 - Sustainable Paradigm in the Textile Industry
Presentation of future scenarios for the sector in terms of the development and implementation of sustainability in the design and management strategies of the textile industry.
18.15 - How to create a sustainable fashion brand?

12.00 - Rusty red, from waste to design.
Natalia Sánchez presents her Rojo Óxido. This is a project that focuses on the problem of waste management, in this case construction waste, and converts it into raw materials that give rise to innovative pieces of furniture with a modern design that is totally different from its true origin.
15.30 - Colombia Craft Territory
Fashion comes to life in the framework of Intergift 2023, as a tribute to our craftswomen and craftsmen who, from their ancestry, showcase the Colombian artisan territory. Their expressions, expressed through crafts and techniques, are transformed into clothing or objects that are containers of Colombian material and immaterial culture.
18.00 - Asociación Joyas Sostenibles fashion show.
The International Fashion, Footwear and Accessories Show will take place from 15 to 17 September, as part of Lifestyle Week at IFEMA MADRID, simultaneously with Intergift, from 13 to 17 September; and Bisutex and Madridjoya, from 14 to 17 September.

AI music generators could make the next hit
AI-powered platforms are turning their generative capabilities to music, spitting out clips created from an algorithm trained on hundreds of hours of existing music. It’s murky water for the music industry, which is famous for its strict copyright laws. But forward-thinking musicians could use these tools as another instrument in their arsenal to craft sounds that we have yet to think of.
AI on FM
Stability AI is tuning its algorithm to craft new music.
- Techcrunch reports that Harmonai, backed by Stability AI, is beta testing a new tool called “Dance Diffusion,” which can generate “original” song clips.
- The tool creates these clips through the process of “diffusion” — generating new data by “learning how to destroy and recover many existing samples of data” (i.e., all the music from a specific artist).
- For now, the tool is only being trained on songs in the public domain that artists have contributed and music that is licensable under Creative Commons.
The tool is still pretty limited in that the inputs it takes in will spit out a clip similar in style. They’re also only a few seconds long, and the lyrics, if they have any, are mostly gibberish.
Soul of a song
Stability AI isn’t the only company experimenting with AI music creation.
- OpenAI, the company behind DALL-E 2, released “Jukebox” a few years ago, which can create whole songs when a genre, artist, and some lyrics are inputted… but the songs come out structureless and have “nonsense” lyrics.
- Additionally, Google announced AudioLM, which can extrapolate entire piano generations just by being given a “short snippet of playing.” So far, the tool hasn’t been open-sourced.
While musicians may bristle at the potential pitfalls of this tech, some are doing their best to harness it and even control it. A company called Spawning (run by technologist Mat Dryhurst and musician Holly Herndon) is working on a tool called Source+ that will allow musicians to opt-out of the databases these AI tools run on.
Meanwhile, Herndon released a tool called Holly+ that allows artists to include an AI version of her voice in their music — a glimpse of what the future may hold for AI-driven creativity.

By Tyler James
I absolutely loved Amy Winehouse. Her incredible voice still amazes me and Back To Black remains a faithful fave album. Unlike most of the music stars of her era, she wasn’t primed to portray herself in a PR-friendly light – Amy was raw and real and too busy struggling with the circus of fame to care about her public profile. But witnessing her inexorable journey to self-annihilation as it played out in the press was like watching a slow car crash.
Few can have been better placed to know what really happened than Tyler James, her best friend since they met at drama school when he was 13. Both insecure outsiders obsessed with singing, James was Amy’s constant confidante until she died at 27. An EastEnder whose own shortlived shot at fame left him with his own addiction problems, James adored his mega-famous friend and was fiercely protective, often to his own cost. Amy’s drugs, booze and questionable taste in men often overshadowed her incredible singing and you find out exactly what was going on behind the scenes of her gigs, TV appearances and award shows – like when Amy got to sing with Prince, only for her dodgy husband to steal from the star’s dressing room. Her life was as bonkers, excessive and tragic as we’d all imagined – and way, way more.
There are hilarious and heartwarming moments too. Written with the help of the brilliant Sylvia Patterson (Smash Hits writer, ‘pensmith of pop’ and author of I’m Not With The Band), it’s a great, emotional and uproarious read as we find out exactly what the star kept in her famous beehive, her passion for girlie kitsch and what a mother hen she could be with those she loved. But most of all it’s a reminder of how cool and incredible Amy was before her demons took over. If you’re a fan, you’ll love it.

Man airlifted to hospital after being thrown from car
A MAN in his 20s has been airlifted to hospital after he was thrown from his car in a single-vehicle rollover on the Sunshine Coast hinterland this afternoon.
Paramedics were called to the crash on the intersection of East and Mary River Rd and Maleny Kenilworth Rd at Conondale about 3.15pm, a Queensland Ambulance spokeswoman said.
He was treated at the scene by paramedics in a serious but stable condition with back injuries.
The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter was tasked to the scene and airlifted the man to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.

The UK is in a sustained recovery and faces no major inflation risks, according to the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC).
Minutes from the committee’s November monthly meeting showed that all nine committee members voted to leave interest rates at 0.5%.
Bank of England governor Mark Carney has previously stated that the Bank will not raise rates until unemployment falls below 7%. The minutes from this month’s meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee show that they will be in no rush to raise rates even then, with the Bank stating that “There could be a case for not raising Bank Rate immediately when the 7% unemployment threshold was reached.” Unemployment currently stands at 7.6%, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The Bank added that there were still uncertainties regarding the “durability” of the recovery, pointing out that there were few signs that expectations over inflation were feeding into wage increases.
The Bank of England said that it expects to see growth of 0.9% in the fourth quarter, alongside signs of improvement from business surveys and the property market. However, they also said that household spending is still squeezed, and the UK could potentially be vulnerable to instability in the Eurozone:
“"The UK economy remained vulnerable to disorderly adjustment in the euro area and some emerging economies.”
David Kern, chief economist at the British Chamber of Commerce, responded to the news:
“Businesses will be pleased with the unanimous decision to keep rates on hold, as well as the reiteration that reaching the 7% unemployment threshold will not automatically trigger a rate increase.”
He added that “the MPC's forecast for unemployment is optimistic, and while we expect growth to strengthen over the next few years, it is unlikely to be as rapid as the MPC expects.”
Jonathan Loynes from Capital Economics said the main message from this meeting appears to be the playing down of the importance of unemployment figures in determining when interest rates will rise:
“Provided inflation pressures stay subdued, as we expect, interest rates are going nowhere for a long time yet even if the economy continues to grow strongly.”

SAN MATEO, Calif. — The word “drone” tends to conjure up images of planes that kill terrorists or of creepy surveillance tools.
But tiny drone airplanes made of foam may be more useful in rural environments, one researcher says. There, the fliers could revolutionize agriculture, reducing the need for pesticides and improving crop production.
Because drones can fly cheaply at a low altitude, they can get highly detailed images of cropland, said Chris Anderson, the CEO of 3D Robotics and former editor-in-chief of Wired, here on Saturday (May 18) at this year’s Maker Faire Bay Area, a two-day celebration of DIY science, technology and engineering. Drone-captured close-ups of fields could help farmers tailor their pesticide treatment and identify subtle differences in soil productivity.
The automation of farming has led to fewer farmers tending massive plots of land. That means they don’t know how each leaf looks, notice changes in the height of plants, or the color of soil
“Once upon a time farms were small and people could walk the farm,” Anderson said. Now, however, “farms are too big to measure and too big to manage.”
As a result, farmers may not know about the condition of vast stretches of their land and make many decisions as if plots of land were uniform. For instance, they may blanket their entire crop with fungicide in June because fungal infections typically strike in July, whether or not their crop is actually afflicted, Anderson said.
Drones provide a potential solution to this problem because they can provide high-resolution images of crops, are cheap to make and can fly unregulated over private lands, Anderson said.
Anderson is developing tiny, foam drone airplanes that fly using a $170 autopilot — essentially a brain for the plane — that works in any kind of automated vehicle. Because the drones fly low to the ground, they can use cheap point-and-shoot technology to take pictures, instead of the costly equipment that enables satellite imagery.
In addition, drones can store ultra-precise GPS coordinates for each picture they take. That information allows the planes to stitch pictures together more accurately, getting a better image of what’s happening on the ground.
One possible application is to pinpoint damage to crops early on. Early signs of plant damage show up in chlorophyll, the energy-making machinery. This damage changes how the plant appears in infrared and near-infrared images, which could be captured in drone airplane imagery.
More precise imagery could also allow farmers to target pesticides just to the plants that need them, reducing how much ends up in the food supply, Anderson said.
Drones could also be used by vineyards to make better wines, by identifying patches of soil with richer moisture content. Then the owners of vineyards could have greater control over the wines they produced by sorting grapes based on the soil in which they grew, Anderson said.

N. Srinivasan files nomination for BCCI president's post; three new faces as Arun Jaitley, Niranjan Shah exit as vice-presidents
N. Srinivasan has chosen his 'cabinet' as the Tamil Nadu strongman seeks a year's extension as BCCI president in the Board's Annual General Meeting in Chennai on Sunday. Rajeev Shukla, Ravi Savant and S.K. Bansal will be the new vice-presidents replacing Sudhir Dabir, Niranjan Shah and Arun Jaitley, respectively.
N.Srinivasan, who is seeking to extend his run as Board of Control for Cricket in India president for a year at Sunday's Annual General Meeting in Chennai, has chosen his 'team' to run the Board's affairs for the next 12 months. According to the panel submitted by Srinivasan, whose two-year regular tenure comes to an end this month, Arun Jaitley, Niranjan Shah and Sudhir Dabir have been replaced as vice-presidents.
Ravi Savant of Mumbai, who was the stop-gap treasurer after Ajay Shirke resigned in the wake of the Indian Premier League corruption scandal, S.K. Bansal of Delhi and Rajeev Shukla of Uttar Pradesh are the new faces. Shukla finds himself back in the BCCI top brass after having resigned as IPL chairman earlier this year.
The BCCI has five vice-presidents each representing the five zones of the country. Chitrak Mitra of Bengal (East Zone) and Shivlal Yadav of Hyderabad (South Zone) have been given an year's extension. Sources say Dabir of Vidarbha and Shah of Saurashtra were not keen on an extension. Dabir is a close confidant of former BCCI president Shashank Manohar, whose name was doing the rounds as Srinivasan's opponent. Sources said Shah had recently become "anti-Srinivasan" and therefore opted out.
Srinivasan has realigned his 'supporters' and awarded them with plum positions in his 'cabinet.' Savant is a clear example. A BCCI insider say: "Savant had to be accommodated in the core team with a good designation as he had helped Srinivasan out during the crisis situation that emerged due to the IPL spot-fixing scandal."
The BCCIÂ source said: "Savant was entrusted with a specific job of delaying the Mumbai Cricket Association elections so that Sharad Pawar doesn't stand in Mr Srinivasan's way. He managed that effectively by delaying the MCA elections to the third week of October. Now although he was never Srinivasan's first choice as treasurer, he had to be rewarded for helping the Chennai strongman."
Sanjay Patel (Baroda) has officially been nominated as BCCI secretary. He was baby-sitting after Sanjay Jagdale resigned on moral grounds after the IPL scandal broke. Anirudh Chaudhary of Haryana will be the new treasurer. This position had fallen vacant after Maharashtra's Ajay Shirke, who like Jagdale, had resigned as BCCI treasurer. Anurag Thakur will remain as BCCI joint secretary.
The 'election' of this panel will now be a mere formality at Sunday's AGM. The meeting will now become a regular mundane affair with a couple of positions expected to generate some interest. One of them will be the position of the next IPL chairman. Former president Jagmohan Dalmiya's name has been doing the rounds. Like a Savant or a Patel, Dalmiya has been baby-sitting the BCCI when Srinivasan stepped aside in June when the IPL scandal involving his team Chennai Super Kings broke. But will age be a deterrent? Dalmiya is 73 and the IPL may need a younger leader.
But Sunday may be the start of a new drama as the Supreme Court, on Monday, hears a petition to keep the controversial Srinivasan out of BCCI. The apex court has already said that Srinivasan cannot assume office till cleared by the law. In the 85-year-old history of the BCCI, such a situation has never cropped up. "We will play it by the ear," said a senior BCCI official. Srinivasan will be the king who will continue to wear a crown of thorns.
N Srinivasan - President
Sanjay Patel - Secretary
Anurag Thakur- Jt. Secy
Anirudh Chaudhary- Treasurer
Rajeev Shukla- VP Central
SK Bansal- VP North
Ravi Savant- VP West
Shivlal Yadav- VP South
Chitrak Mitra- VP East


In recent years, accessibility has become one of the main priorities for institutions, international organizations and companies. Transport is a fundamental tool to enable access for everyone to the workplace, goods, services, and to enjoy leisure time.
Cinesi has participated in diverse accessibility improvement projects that go from the regulatory and legislative side, to the definition of characteristics of places, spaces and transport services.
Through this experience, Cinesi has collaborated closely with leading accessibility organizations that, together to Cinesi’s experience in the transport sector, facilitate the delivery of high standard accessibility solutions.
Some examples of projects in which Cinesi has participated in are the definition of accessibility strategies and legislative improvements, the implementation of guidance systems for blind people (NaviLens), or the evaluation and audit of the accessibility level of spaces and buildings (AIS Certification).
Algunos ejemplos de proyectos en los que ha participado Cinesi van desde la definición de estrategias de accesibilidad y mejora legislativa, la implantación de sistemas de guiado especialmente destinados a personas invidentes (NaviLens) o la evaluación y auditoria del nivel de accesibilidad de espacios o edificios (Certificación AIS).
The AIS Accessibility Indicator System is an international certification that is governed by the Standard AIS 1/2018 and that measures the degree of accessibility in urban environments (of a space or building, existing or in project).
The certification are awarded with a level degree that starts in one star, which is the minimum level, to five stars, which is the degree of maximum excellence.
Cinesi has been recognized as an Authorized Entity by the Social Responsibility and Accessibility Foundation to give recommendations to obtain accessibility certifications, to undertake technical audits necessary for the accessibility certification, as well as the maintenance and improvement of the certified accessibility level. Moreover, Cinesi is the only Authorized Entity specialized in the mobility and transport sector.
For more information about the AIS Certification:
NaviLens is a signaling and guidance system that brings the possibility to blind and low vision people to move autonomously in different environments. It is based on the implementation of colored signals, similar to QR, but that are much faster to read and it is not necessary that users steadily focus on them. This makes NaviLens especially effective for visually impaired.
The codes can be associated to a text that the NaviLens APP reads to the user. Additionally, the APP translates automatically the texts to the user’s device language.
This, nevertheless, is not the only functionality of the codes. The APP NaviLens GO goes a step further and offers visual information to other users, such as the station train departures panel, or augmented reality directions to get to destinations.
Cinesi has participated in the implementation of the NaviLens system in several transport networks, such as in the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya network, or the Guaguas Municipales of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria network.
For more information about NaviLens: https://www.navilens.com/en /
An accessibility plan consists of identifying architectural barriers in various municipal areas (public roads, buildings, transports and communication), suggesting solutions to eliminate these, budgeting these measures and drawing up a progressive implementation plan based on previously established priority criteria. The goal is to achieve a fully accessible municipality in a rational and planned manner.
Cinesi uses geographic information system (GIS) tools that help link data with its geographical location to facilitate the management of developing this plan. Queries can therefore be made about accessible itineraries, the data to properly develop the stage plan can easily be updated and plans visually displaying the information can be obtained.
The extensive experience in the transport sector and in offering specific accessibility solutions, makes Cinesi being able to offer its acquired knowledge to draft and redefine accessibility strategies of institutions and organizations of different levels.
This way, Cinesi has the necessary capacity for contrasting current accessibility legislation, and to put it into practice in the most optimal and effective way.

Recently, I recorded a bunch of music for job applications. During the process, I remembered how much I loathe recording. I don’t hate recording engineers. I don’t hate recording equipment. I hate listening to all my best and worst moments. I despise editing my mistakes, mostly because I am disappointed I made them in the first place. Granted, I’m much more practiced in the art of recording sessions. I remember when I first started recording, how little my fellow musicians talked about the whole process. I remember thinking that my musical idols must be gods and goddesses, assuming that they recorded their great CD’s in only a few takes. I remember thinking that I must be a terrible musician for taking so long to record. Let me say, it does get easier. But hopefully the following tips will help.
Always come prepared to the recording session. This should go without saying. However, you need to feel as comfortable as possible playing the music. If you’re still starting and stopping or making note errors, you’re probably wasting time and money for both the recording engineer and yourself. On the contrary, you don’t want to procrastinate because you’ve set your musical standards too high. Make realistic musical judgments. If you’re recording material is in good performance shape, go ahead and schedule a recording session.
Have a game plan for your recording engineer. This is especially important for percussionists. If you are playing multiple pieces on different instruments, be sure you coordinate a recording strategy with your recording engineer. Every instrument is mic’d differently. So, record by instrument, not by piece. They will know best how to set up mics. Give them time to plan. And once in the recording studio, be sure to give them adequate time and preparation to record your music.
Leading up to the recording session, practice recording. Use a recorder or your phone to practice playing in front of a recording device. Force yourself to listen and critique the recording. Then, delete it. I find that this helps me mentally prepare for the recording session. I can test my limits and my level of preparation. And best of all, I can delete the recordings after I listen to them.
Perfection is a myth. It really is. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Our perception of musical perfection is partially developed from listening to beautifully edited recordings. Always remind yourself this when you go into the recording session. For me it’s helpful to imagine playing to an audience, not a mic. Not only will the music feel more organic, you will also be less stressed. If you’re playing to make a perfect recording, you may end up sounding too careful or boring. Play the music. Make edits when needed.
My last piece of advice would be to talk with others about your experiences. Offer advice. Vent with your studio mates. Ask for help. If there’s anything I’ve learned about the frustrations of recording sessions, you are not alone in this process.

Hello, all-but-abandoned blog! Today I get to reintroduce myself to the blogosphere as Julie Arredondo! I know I’ve been gone for quite some time, but it’s because the real art of our Artful Wedding demanded my full attention for the last few weeks and ultimately left me no time for documentation.
Our wedding festivities were so far beyond my expectations, and the amount of love and generosity we felt from the friends and family that traveled from far and wide to celebrate with us was unfathomable!! Every piece of the day that had spent a year and a half germinating in my brain, and which I was sure I hadn’t sufficiently communicated to anyone else, happened so perfectly that I feel like I must think in the form of visible thought bubbles. How else could everyone involved have honed in on our concept and personalities so precisely? The most incredible aspect of the day was witnessing the Arredondos and the McCabes working together and with our awesome friends in perfect harmony, and all for us! Without them tying bows and knots, finishing favors, making ice runs, and enjoying one another’s company, we would not have been able to relax and experience our wedding day as the world’s greatest party.
We also had superb vendors and an extra special pair of musicians who performed for our ceremony. Dan and Nick of Es Muss Sein Quartet are responsible for setting the tone of the day for our guests and we could not have had a better response from everyone in attendance on the effectiveness of their material. Everyone should be so lucky to have such talent pop into their lives. And I will remember and talk about walking down the aisle to their composition until the day I die. They really gave us an incredible experience that we’ll relive for a lifetime. Check them out here and here.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - Local clergy and elected officials urge Senator Rob Portman to take a position on President Donald Trump's budget on Thursday.
Officials and advocates are holding a Death by a Thousand Budget Cuts Press Conference at Nexxus Medical Center, calling on Senator Portman to take a public position on the budget.
The group is specifically upset about a proposed $1.6 trillion dollar cut from Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.
"This is a federal budget. The only thing we can ask our families and our friends and our constituents to do is contact our U.S. senators, Senator Sherrod Brown and Senator Rob Portman. Right now as I'm standing here, I oppose all the budget," said State Rep. Mike Ashford.
Speakers will also discuss how the budget would affect their local communities.
The press conference began at 10 a.m.


If you grew up in the 1930s through the 1950s, you probably set those five letters to music as you read them. If you did so, you were responding to what some authorities consider the first “commercial ad jingle”... one that was created by a musician who once lived in Kankakee.
The five-note J-E-L-L-O jingle was heard for the first time at 7 p.m. Oct. 14, 1934, when Don Bestor’s orchestra played it as the opening theme for a radio program starring popular comedian Jack Benny. The program aired nationwide over the NBC Blue Network; the dessert product would sponsor Benny’s Sunday night program until 1942.
Bestor, who had lived in Kankakee from 1913 to the early 1920s, was well-known to radio listeners even before becoming associated with Benny’s show. In 1922, when most radio receivers still were primitive “crystal sets,” the music of Bestor’s orchestra went “on air” over pioneer Pittsburgh radio Station KDKA. The musical program was broadcast by a remote hookup from the ballroom of the downtown William Penn Hotel. For the rest of the decade and into the 1930s, Bestor-led orchestras played regularly in many hotel ballrooms and nightclubs. The group regularly was featured on radio stations in towns where they were appearing, such as WLW in Cincinnati and WGN in Chicago.
Bestor’s musical career began early: he learned to play the piano while growing up in a small town near Madison, Wis., and by the age of 16, on the road as pianist with a traveling vaudeville orchestra. He later organized his own band, touring theaters in the Midwest.
The young musician took a career detour — as well as a physical one — in 1913, when he settled in Kankakee and became manager of a newly opened theater. The Court Theatre, located on the north side of Court Street, midway between Schuyler and Dearborn avenues, was a “movie palace,” showing silent films (“talkies” didn’t start appearing on theater screens until the late 1920s). Since silent films often were accompanied by a “sound track” of live piano music, it’s likely that Bestor served as both theater manager and piano player.
He possibly also had become, by 1919, the owner of the Court Theatre, since he was listed as “proprietor” in that year’s city directory. Evidence that he was active in the community was his further city directory listing as a member of the Kankakee City Council (“alderman, First Ward”).
Bestor’s last appearance in the Kankakee City Directory was 1921; he was not listed in the 1922 volume. There also was a change in the listing for the Court Theatre: it was now owned by the Majestic Amusement Co., along with two other local theaters, the Majestic and the LaPetite.
In 1922, Bestor (then 33 years old) resumed his musical career. Edgar Benson, a Chicago entrepreneur who managed some 50 dance bands and orchestras, hired the young man as director of his most important group, the Benson Orchestra of Chicago. “Bestor took over the Benson baton, and swiftly won an enormous following,” noted a 1933 magazine article profiling Bestor’s musical career. “You see, he wasn’t just a stick waver. He knew music, too. Furthermore, he understood dance tempo … while [band leader Paul] Whiteman was teaching the east how to dance, Bestor was giving lessons to westerners.”
A year after becoming leader of the Benson Orchestra, Bestor was back in the town where he had lived for almost a decade. On Feb. 12, 1923, the orchestra was featured during dedication ceremonies at Kankakee’s new National Guard Armory on the east side of Indiana Avenue, midway between Court and Oak streets.
“The American Legion guarantees this will be the biggest dance event in years,” proclaimed a postcard promoting the event.
Bestor remained with the Benson organization until 1925, based primarily at the well-known Marigold Gardens ballroom, but also playing other venues such as the Trianon Ballroom and the Drake and Blackstone hotels. The group recorded regularly for the RCA Victor phonograph label.
For the remainder of the 1920s and early 1930s, Bestor fronted his own orchestra, playing dance clubs and hotel ballrooms across the eastern United States, and recording for the Brunswick label. By 1932, his orchestra was a fixture on the New York music scene, airing four evenings each week over radio station WEAF. In the summer of 1933, the group was in the Lake George resort area, playing aboard a “show boat” and being broadcast via a remote hook-up.
Then came “The Jell-O Program,” starring comedian Benny and Bestor’s studio orchestra, in October 1934. Striking up his orchestra in response to Benny’s command, “Play, Don, play!” each Sunday evening, the one-time Kankakee movie theater manager had become a nationally known bandleader.
Bestor wrapped up his musical career in the 1940s. Little is known about his later years; he died in Metamora in January 1970, at the age of 80.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Fifth-seeded Morehead State slipped past eighth-seeded SIUE 72-68 Wednesday in the first round of the Ohio Valley Conference tournament, eliminating the Cougars.
SIUE's season finishes at 10-21 overall. Morehead State improved to 13-19 and will advance to face Austin Peay in the OVC quarterfinals.
"I hate it for our guys," SIUE Head Coach Jon Harris said. "I hate it for our seniors. That's a game we could have won.
"Give Morehead a lot of credit, they started the game well," Harris added. "We had 10 turnovers in the first half and that kind of set the tone. It is tough to be playing catch up in March."
Down 13 points (37-24) at halftime, SIUE went to work in the second half to cut the Eagles' lead. The Cougars cut the lead to five in the first three minutes of the half and down to three with 15:10 left. Cameron Williams tied the score at 50 with a pair of free throws.
A Brandon Jackson layup with 8:08 to play gave SIUE its first second-half lead at 56-55. It was the last lead the Cougars would have.
"(Morehead State) made some plays down the stretch," Harris said. "We had a couple of defensive breakdowns and we missed some shots around the rim. We had the right plays we just didn't convert them today."
After shooting 32 percent in the first half, the Cougars rebounded to shoot 56 percent in the second half and finished at 45 percent (27-60) for the game.
Jackson, Williams and Jaylen McCoy finished in double figures for SIUE. Jackson led the way with 17 points and nine rebounds.
"He finished strong tonight," Harris said of Jackson. "'Jack' should have some momentum going into the offseason. We expect some good things from him as a senior."
McCoy finished with a season-high 14 points. He was 4-7 from three-point range.
"I am happy for him," Harris said of McCoy. "He really came on the last month or so of the season. I give him a lot of credit. He stayed the course all the way through two years. He got better every day."
Williams scored 11 points.
"He had a good second half," Harris said. "He struggled early. He probably had some nerves which is natural, but he responded and had a good second half."
"Those guys have invested so much for the program," Harris said of his seniors. "They are high-level kids. They will be very successful when they leave here. They will leave with their degrees and have great success as they springboard off of what they did here."
The Eagles hit 49.1 percent of their shots from the field and were 7-19 from three-point range. Malek Green scored 23 points and added eight rebounds to lead Morehead State.

I recently posted a patch to fix a bug: http://python.org/sf/561858. The patch requires changing .pyc magic. Since this bug goes back to 2.1, what is the process for changing .pyc magic in bugfix releases? ie, is it allowed?
In this case the co_stacksize > 32767 and only a short is written to disk. This could be doubled to 65536 (probably should be) without changing the magic. But even that isn't sufficient to solve this problem.
It also brings up a related problem. If the PyCodeObject can't be written to disk, should a .pyc be created at all? The code will run fine the first time, but when imported the second time it will fail.
The other 16 bit values stored are: co_argcount, co_nlocals, co_flags. At least argcount & nlocals aren't too likely to exceed 32k, but co_flags could, which would be silently ignored now.

Improving combustion efficiency is one promising way of reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and subsequent reduction of carbon footprint. Typically, engine combustors need to operate at high pressure to achieve high efficiencies, and further improvements in thermal efficiency require even higher pressure. However, high pressures increase the amount of soot yield, posing a significant research challenge. This phenomenon has been attributed to a higher temperature, increased gas density and steep soot concentration gradients. To date, numerous studies involving numerical simulations of pressurized flames have been conducted to investigate soot formation at elevated pressures. These numerical investigations produced different accounts explaining the underlying mechanisms behind the increase in soot formation with increased pressures.
For co-flow diffusion flames, changes in the residence time have negligible impacts on soot yield. However, the effects of chemical kinetics on soot precursor formation are reportedly significant due to the presence of several pressure-dependent reactions. Unfortunately, there are limited to no attempts to comprehensively investigate the effects of pressures and how changes in reaction pathways affect soot formation and evolution. This can be realized through a detailed numerical analysis which requires the use of systematic diagnostic tools to extract the required information. Global pathway analysis (GPA) is an effective technique for quantitative and automatic analysis of reacting systems and has been successfully used to study turbulent and laminar flames. Thus, it is a promising approach for studying the physics behind the formation of soot in high-pressure combustion.
On this account, Dr. Dezhi Zhou and Professor Suo Yang from the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities designed a new soot-based GPA (SGPA) for a systematic and detailed analysis of chemical kinetics underpinning the formation and evolution of soot at elevated pressures in co-flow diffusion flames. They performed a series of pressurized co-flow ethylene diffusion sooting flames simulations at pressure range 1 – 16 atm via molecular transport and finite-rate chemistry. Soot formation modeling was based on bivariate hybrid method of moments. Additionally, SGPA was used to determine the dominant reaction pathways at different pressures and the pressure effects on the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) formation, growth and evolution. Their research work is currently published in the research journal, Combustion and Flame.
The authors demonstrated the feasibility of the newly proposed SGPA in identifying the dominance and corresponding sensitivity of soot reaction pathways at elevated pressures and the global pathways responsible for controlling PAH kinetics. An increase in pressure shifts was characterized by the formation of the first PAH ring from the recombination of C3H3 and C2H2 reactions. While at low pressure (1 atm) the production of C2H2 was dominated by H-abstraction of C2H3 and C2H4, its production at elevated pressures (4 – 12 atm) was dependent on other reactions like third body reactions. On the other hand, condensation and nucleation at the fuel-rich regions were influenced by reactions related to A2R5, C9H8 and C9H7. Notably, the discrepancies in the predictions of PAH at elevated pressures were due to coefficient uncertainty of the C2H2 + A1CH2 = C9H8 + H reaction.
In summary, Dr. Dezhi Zhou and Professor Suo Yang conducted successfully an experimental simulation of ethylene-air co-flow diffusion flames to investigate the formation and evolution of soot at elevated pressures. The simulation data was consistent with the experimental data, even though a slight increase in discrepancy was observed with an increase in pressure. From the results, mechanism reduction without considering the effects of global carbon flux could delete important species like C9H8 and C9H7, resulting in incorrect soot distribution and prediction at elevated pressures. In contrast, the combined dominance of global pathways with heavy PAH species was of more significance than global pathways at flame wing regions, suggesting the critical role of PAH species in soot formation and evolution. In a statement to Advances in Engineering, Professor Suo Yang stated that the study proposes to modify the SGPA method into an autonomous tool for studying chemical mechanisms underlying soot formation.

Ontario government set to release fall economic outlook
Nov. 14, 2022
Ontario is set to release it’s fall economic outlook today.
Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy says the province will take a responsible approach to push its plan to build homes and highways.
He says the province is also preparing for any economic challenges that loom.
On the eve of the fall economic statement, Premier Doug Ford announced a 5.7-cent gas tax cut that took effect in July would be extended a year until the end of 2023.
In September, Bethlenfalvy announced that Ontario ended the last fiscal year with a $2.1-billion surplus.
When the budget was tabled several months earlier, the province projected a $33-billion deficit.
The province has attributed the shift to inflation and a strong economy.
Two weeks ago, the Financial Accountability Office projected budget surpluses until 2028.
The financial watchdog is forecasting a $100-million surplus at the end of this fiscal year, and an $8.5-billion surplus in 2027-28.

Social grants must be spent on children - not used to qualify for loans
Some parents, both natural and foster, have been stating their child support and foster care grants as income when applying for loans, and at least one money lender was happy to go along with that.
But the National Consumer Tribunal made a finding this week that those grants are to be used solely for the benefit of "third parties" - in other words, the children in those adults' care.
The tribunal handed down a judgment in favour of the National Credit Regulator (NCR) against a Humansdorp micro-lender trading as JMK Cash Loans, finding them guilty of a host of illegal practices, including:
- Charging excessive interest - more than 30% a month, when the legal limit is 5% per month for six months;
- Retaining their clients’ Sassa and bank cards along with their PIN codes;
- Operating despite their registration with the NCR having lapsed; and
- Not conducting affordability checks.
The business was ordered to, within 30 days, pay a fine of R800,000.
It must also appoint an independent auditor at its own cost to determine whether any of its customers in the past three years were overcharged interest, and to refund those amounts which it was not entitled to receive. That auditor is further required to identify loans which JMK Cash Loans granted without conducting affordability assessments, and the NCR may apply to the Tribunal declaring them reckless and thus cancelled.
"It appears that (JMK Cash Loans) has ignored the requirements of the National Credit Act and exploited consumers who appear to lack knowledge about their rights," the tribunal said in its judgment.
It emerged during the joint investigation by Sassa, the Hawks and the Eastern Cape’s consumer protection office that child support and foster care social grants were being regarded as loan applicants’ income.
"This judgment clarifies that child support and foster care social grants are not to be used as consumer income in credit applications," said the NCR’s CEO, Nomsa Motshegare. "Credit providers are warned to observe this judgment."
