“An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I’ve left the opera house.”
– Maria Callas
Opera is a place where all other art forms – art, film, even dance – meet to create a spectacular production. This is a convergence that’s very familiar to mezzo-soprano Abigail Fischer, who plays Isabelle Eberhardt in Missy Mazzoli’s Song from the Uproar. Fischer utilizes various artistic talents in the multimedia opera now showing at REDCAT. It is her haunting singing, however, that mesmerizes throughout the 75-minute opera.
“Singing is a very intimate art form. It’s very connected to the deepest parts of you. You really have to know yourself,” says Fischer. The intimacy of singing – and truly all performance – is heightened in Song from the Uproar, because of its abstractness. Fischer plays Isabelle Eberhardt solely, but there is also a “Chorus of Isabelles” that alternatively showcases Eberhardt’s emotions. There’s a strong synergy between the chorus members and Fischer to the point where they repeat each other’s dance moves and lyrics. Together, they illustrate the evolving psyche of a complicated woman, her many lives, and her many deaths.
Isabelle Eberhardt lived an exceedingly fascinating life for women of her time. She relocated to North Africa, dressed as a man, and converted to Islam, all of her own volition. Tragically, she passed away during a flash flood in the Algerian province of Ain Sefra in 1904.
Like composer Missy Mazzoli before her, Fischer was drawn to Eberhardt’s story after reading her journals. “Isabelle was so emotionally potent and a true pioneer female explorer,” says Fischer. This emotional journey is greatly explored in Song from the Uproar, where Fischer portrays Eberhardt during several crucial points in her life, including discovering a new found faith in Islam and a failed suicide pact. These moments are wonderfully expressed through a diverse band of a double bass (the only string instrument), piano, electric guitar, clarinet, and flute. Songs such as “I Have Arrived,” signaling Eberhardt’s arrival in North Africa hold “a lightness and exuberance to the music that is unlike anything” heard for the rest of the opera.
Here Fischer hits the nail on the head as to why Song from the Uproar is so beautifully effective both to those involved artistically and those watching Eberhardt’s story unfold from the audience. The music perfectly illustrates Eberhardt’s emotional trajectory from a woman who has just arrived in North Africa, full of promise and potential, to a woman Fischer says is “weighed down by her feeling that she would die young and the weight of having lost her family at such a young age.”
Song from the Uproar is truly an opera that stays with you after you’ve experienced it. For Fischer, it’s because she gets to understand Isabelle Eberhardt on all levels, “as a devout believer in Islam, a woman who loves a man, an independent explorer, and as a free woman who loved to explore herself sexually.” It’s a character that has truly affected Fischer, who has been involved with the project since 2007. To grow with a woman such as Eberhardt is a tremendous gift and Fischer believes that there is a part of Isabelle in every creative who has been closely tied to Song from the Uproar. She says, “The depth of [Isabelle’s} human experience is so profound, you don’t need to know her story in order to appreciate her depth, but knowing her story only increases the understanding of what a human can experience. Isn’t that why we watch art, to understand various depths of human experience? There is an Isabelle in all of us.”LA Opera is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the greater good.

If you ask any comic book fan to name Batman's most famous storyline, most will give one of two answers...The Dark Knight Returns and The Killing Joke. These are the stories that defined comics as no longer being "just for kids", but as a viable option of storytelling for adults looking for a darker, grittier side to the characters they grew up with.
As DC has pushed forward their animated film line, no one ever thought stories like this would ever actually find a home as a DC Universe Animated Original. That is, until 2012, when The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 was released, with part 2 following in January 2013. This opened the gates for films like this to finally get made.
Over the years, Mark Hamill, who famously voiced the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series and the Batman: Arkham video game series, has said several times that he would love the opportunity to voice the Joker in an adaptation of The Killing Joke. And he got his wish.
At this past San Diego Comic-Con, Batman: The Animated Series creator, Bruce Timm, announced plans for an adaptation of this very iconic story, set to be released sometime in 2016. News then came that several members of the Batman: TAS cast had been signed on to reprise their roles, including Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Mark Hamill as The Joker, and Tara Strong as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl. This announcement was followed up by the first image and teaser trailer for the upcoming film.
And now we have an amazing 10-minute sneak peek of Batman: The Killing Joke. Check it out below:http://youtu.be/ueCJWmvyn78
The Killing Joke stars Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, Tara Strong, and Ray Wise as Commissioner Gordon, and will be rated-R. It is set to premiere at this year's San Diego Comic-Con and will be released on home video later this Summer.

The performing arts include music performances, acting, dance performances, opera and musicals, circuses and puppet shows.
ATTENDANCE AT THE PERFORMING ARTS
Attendance at the performing arts is a significant aspect of the cultural life of many Australians. Table 12.14 shows that, in the 12 months prior to interview in 2002, 26.4% of the Australian population aged 18 years and over (3.8 million people) attended at least one popular music concert, 18.7% (2.7 million people) attended at least one musical or opera, and 18.0% (2.6 million people) attended at least one theatre performance. Attendance rates at most of the performing arts were generally similar to or slightly higher than those recorded in a survey conducted in 1999.
PERFORMING ARTS INDUSTRIES
At the end of June 2003 there were 865 businesses mainly involved in music and theatre production (table 12.15). This was an increase of 23% over the number recorded at the end of June 2000. During 2002-03 these businesses put on 53,241 paid performances which attracted 14.2 million paid attendances. The highest numbers of paid attendances were for popular music performances (4.0 million attendances) and musical theatre productions (3.2 million attendances). The total income generated from music and theatre production activities was $622.1m, with box office takings accounting for 53% ($331.6m) of this figure. Government funding provided 22% ($134.4m) of total income. Operating profit before tax for 2002-03 was $46.5m, which was $18.7m more than for 1999-2000. A total of 7,842 persons were employed by music and theatre production businesses at the end of June 2003 and a further 2,548 were volunteers. The number of volunteers was down 16% from the number recorded at the end of June 2000 (3,034).
There were 176 performing arts festivals (of greater than two days duration) conducted during the year ended June 2003. There were 29,707 performances at these festivals - 23,138 paid and 6,569 free - which altogether attracted 7.5 million attendances. Of these, 80% (6.0 million) were free of charge. Performing arts festivals generated $88.5m in income of which 31% ($27.2m) came from ticket sales. The total operating profit was $5.7m. The bulk of the workforce utilised by these festivals consisted of 15,728 volunteers.

BusinessOptix speaks the truth
A simple but powerful cloud-based platform.
It was great to see our software partner BusinessOptix recognised as a 2015 ‘Cool Vendor’ in Business Process Management, by Gartner.
The accolade, as far as we’re concerned at Smart Tips, is extremely well-deserved. The software may be in its infancy – having only been established in 2010 – but its reputation as a simple but powerful cloud-based platform is growing fast.
We’ve been won over by the ease and clarity with which the software allows processes and requirements to be mapped out, redesigned, and transformed – and here are some of the reasons why.
Collaborative business modelling
BusinessOptix makes it easy to capture information and knowledge, document processes, systems and methods, and store it all in a single online repository that can be shared throughout a company – and easily viewed, reviewed, and organised in just a few clicks.
As a collaborative business modelling platform, it allows users to pull out accurate reports, data, and knowledge with ease. Similarly, they can feed data in, helping with the creation and maintenance of an overall knowledge base, shared throughout the company. Files can also be imported and exported with minimal fuss and in a range of formats.
Drawing up your transformation road map
The platform does the job of several traditional office programmes, allowing you to dispense with the ones you no longer need and save money in the process. The software also supports the development of a transformation roadmap, via the creation of ‘as is’ and ‘to be’ business states, which can also be measured against financial models and other metrics.
A driver of change
The software is an effective driver of change, helping companies to build a fast and effective business case for transformation and easily demonstrate proposed changes, both on process flow diagrams and using metrics.
It allows you to create a framework for all your core business operations and helps to identify and eliminate wasteful practices and costs. It gives people the information they need to make decisions more quickly, smooths the day-to-day running of the business, improves the accuracy of reporting, and streamlines a host of other activities too.
The software that doesn’t lie
The software reveals what we business analysts consider to be ‘the truth’ of your business; uncluttered information delivered in a single source, as opposed to data from half a dozen different tools, all competing and feeding into the morass. This single view illuminates a pathway to change.
BusinessOptix in action
At Smart Tips, our team of BusinessOptix experts can bring this intuitive and flexible technology to bear on your change management projects.
We will help you get up and running quickly, allowing you to focus on mapping your business. We can set up your library based on your organisation’s structure and requirements and implement any customisation you need.
Our consultants are very experienced in getting the most from BusinessOptix at organisations of all sizes and can give you practical advice on how to use it to its fullest potential. Our training courses are designed to make users at all levels feel comfortable with BusinessOptix and to encourage adoption so that your business can start to feel the benefits of this ground-breaking tool as quickly as possible.


DAILY GRINDER: 50 Democrats Sign Brief Supporting Voter ID Challenge
Fifty House Democrats signed a brief in support of the challenge to the Voter ID law. Many claim the law violates the Pennsylvania constitution’s “protection of the right to vote and oversteps the powers vested in the General Assembly.” As we’ve reported before, it also unfairly brutalizes women, minorities, the elderly and college students. Governor Corbett has said the bill will help prevent potential voter fraud, of which there is minimal actual evidence.
And the “birth certificate” requirement has been dropped for those who lack photo ID. So, you’re saying Obama could potentially vote if he lived here? Sounds like a liberal plot.
Fourteen people were arrested yesterday during a mass protest of cuts to Philadelphia public schools. Most were members of SEIU 32BJ (bus drivers, maintenance workers, etc.), 2,000 of whom have received layoff notices from the district.
Monsignor William J. Lynn took the stand yesterday to defend himself in his trial and oh my god look what he said: “I thought I was helping people,” Lynn said. “I thought I was helping priests, and in those circumstances, I thought I was helping victims, as much as I could.”
Editor Larry Platt has left the Philadelphia Daily News, and former editor, Michael Days, is back at the helm. Platt ran what was formerly known as “The People Paper” for 16 months.
A bill requiring mandatory prison terms for felons caught with guns passed the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, 190-7, and is off to the Senate. It would set a minimum 5-year prison term and, according to proponents (from the right and left, apparently), it will help reduce illegal gun sales.
Senator Bob Casey is still ahead by those wishy-washy numbers. He leads Republican Tom Smith 49 percent to 33 percent. According to a Public Policy Polling write up of the poll, “Casey continues to post unimpressive approval ratings, 39/38 this time around, but that’s largely because only 56% of Democrats give him good marks.” Still, three-quarters of Democrats plan to vote for him.

Football continues to provide turns and twist in the tale of the European Super League, and when the fans thought they had won the battle, it seems the war is still left. After a meeting concluded between the 12 clubs of the European Super League, Cope reports that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have decided to continue with the project for now.
Manchester City announced their decision to withdraw from it, while Chelsea still have doubts over it.
Liverpool players have all publicly spoken against it as well on their social medias, while Ed Woodward has resigned as Chairman of Manchester United.
That said, Barcelona are yet to put this under vote from the club members, who hold the power to vote against it.
If the several reports are to believed, though, it seems extremely unlikely thay the project will go ahead. With City already out, and Chelsea to probably follow, they will lose two of their most prized assets. Meanwhile Barcelona fans can hope that the members do the right thing in the face of adversity.

Read the Review
Now here is a disc I would listen to over and over again, never wanting it to end. An award-winning very talented Ukrainian-American pianist, Sophia Agranovich plays Liszt as it should be played, totally imbued in Romantic spirit and with “interpretation daring to be different” and “superior musicianship” (American Record Guide). Funny, I remember British critics around the 50s who poo-pooed Liszt, held him second rate and overtly emotional. They should eat their words when they hear this performance.
This is her tenth release and entirely devoted to Liszt showing the many sides of the composer’s genius and all devilishly difficult pieces. Imagine a Budapest cafe with an ever present gypsy (Roma) band and the lead violinist coming to your table and playing his heart out for your wife or girlfriend. This is what we hear when Agranovich plays the slow middle section of Hungarian Rhapsody No.6. The style is unmistakeably Hungarian with the rubatos, hesitations, sudden eruptive accelerandos and syncopations and we even hear the tremolo of the cimbalom in the background. It’s interesting that then she chooses the slow, quiet, melodic No.13, seldom performed but in her hands probably the most beautiful of all the Hungarian Rhapsodies
This is followed by three Schubert Transcriptions, (Ständchen, Erlkönig and Die Forelle); when I was listening to the famous Ständchen (Serenade) I was so transported that I felt like exclaiming “wow, this is soo beautiful!”
Agranovich’s astounding technique is further evident in the dramatic and exciting Mazeppa of the Transcendental Etudes based on the story of a Ukrainian nobleman punished by being dragged by a wild horse across the steppes. We hear the lightning flashes of the whip and the syncopated galloping rhythm in this immensely difficult piece, which provides a fitting end to this unique, opulent and rewarding new issue.

So, what technology will blow us away in 2017? Should we expect AI robots, self-driving cars and loads more AR games? Ian Bear, Client Developer at our office in Ipswich, shares his thoughts on what we can expect.
2016 was a great year
2016 was a great year for technology. We saw the first virtual reality (VR) systems hit the market from Oculus Rift, HTC and Sony. Wearable tech got an extra-fashionable touch from the likes of Breitling and Skagen. 4K and curved screens became more accessible, and all our tech got a little bit smarter with advances in artificial intelligence (AI). Now we find ourselves in a new year with exciting new developments in technology to look forward to. So what does 2017 have in store for us? Let’s find out:
Your world, only better
This year, VR looks set to continue to rise in popularity and we should see it taking hold in the mainstream consumer base. Some of 2016’s best games are being ported to take full advantage of VR, including Bethesda’s wildly popular Fallout 4. The signs are there that VR is likely to be the in-demand piece of gaming tech for 2017: top quality games are offering high-quality immersive gaming experiences, the hardware is getting cheaper with Sony has introducing an affordable PlayStation VR option.
Augmented Reality (AR) also looks to be a trend in 2017. Last year we saw Pokémon capturing the world for at least a month (an impressive feat) so all sorts of companies will surely look to take advantage of consumers’ interest in the novelty of AR entertainment. With Apple rumoured to be looking to jump into the AR smart glasses market, alongside the likes of Microsoft’s HoloLens, AR could take centre stage by the end of 2017.
The Power of Speech
Voice assistance was big in 2016 and it’s here to stay. You’ve got a plethora of options to choose from: Siri, Cortana and now Alexa from Amazon. Even Samsung is getting in on the act with Bixby, now included as part of the new S8. These intelligent personal assistants are able to do almost anything you ask, from setting alarms and reading you the day’s headlines to talking you through recipes as you cook (and suggesting a nearby restaurant if something goes wrong). These voice activated personal assistants are getting more and more useful whether you’re at home or on the go.
With the rise in popularity of these voice capable devices and their affordability (the Amazon Dot will only set you back $50), 2017 should see more and more application interfacing with these technologies. The Alexa platform already interfaces with popular applications like Spotify, Uber and Just Eat, but as the year goes on, we should see even more interfacing from the other platforms and new applications coming on board.
The only thing standing in the way of this progression is the fact that the space is fragmented (often being tied to a particular smartphone ecosystem) so application developers might not want to integrate fully until some sort of unified interface has been development and adopted.
The home of the future, today
Home automation gadgets go hand-in-hand with the rise of voice assistance. This looks to be the year when all kinds of home automation and the Internet of Things goes truly mainstream.
Many tech enthusiasts have been using devices like the Raspberry Pi to do home automation for years, but with companies like Wemo, Philips (with Hue), and Nest making home automation more accessible, we should see large growth in this space this year.
Even the appliances themselves are getting smarter. In 2017, we will see the introduction of various Wi-Fi enabled devices. At the Consumer Technology Association (CES) conference last year, LG unveiled a new smart fridge that, by using Amazon Alexa integration, displays recipes and places food orders. Its nine-inch screen allows you see inside the fridge without opening the door, and, amazingly, digitally tags items with names and expiration dates. It even includes a camera so that you can see inside the fridge using your smartphone. That’s pretty impressive.
Speaking of fridges, in 2017 we expect to see an even bigger focus on synthetic foods, particularly meats and dairy. The last decade saw a huge increase in ethically focused approaches to eating, with an estimated 360 per cent increase in the number of vegans and vegetarians in the UK. That equates to rough 400 000 new people converting to plant-based diets over the last 10 years.
Companies like Future Food and SuperMeat are looking at various means to produce delicious and nutritious meat variants – products that taste like meat, but are free from the ethical and environmental issues surrounding traditionally farmed meat. These methods include growing meat from cells in labs.
The vegan community is a vocal one and because of the huge spotlight on the meat industry, more money and research will pour into this area in 2017 and beyond, although it seems we are still some years away from eating a lab-grown Big Mac.
But wait, there’s more
2017 looks like it’s going to be a bumper year for self-driving cars, with many companies including Tesla, Ford and Google vowing to enter the market by 2021. Many new steps forward in this tech area are expected this year.
The AI side of things seems to be growing well with advances in neural networks and natural language learning expected to be at the forefront of researchers’ minds. China has shown as massive interest in AI in recent years which is sure to move the technology forward even faster.
Big data and analytics will continue to grow in popularity as a way of analysing the vast amount of data collected each day. New techniques and improved system architecture should push this industry even further in 2017.
Do you have any thoughts on what we might expect to see this year? If so, please comment on our Facebook page or tweet us @Derivco . We’d love to hear what you think!

Factors to Consider When Looking for the Most Suitable Travel Insurance.

The reason behind this is that the uncertainties of traveling increase as the days one is traveling increases.

Such agencies choose the best packages for their customers based on the probable risks in their client’s destinations.
In your purchase of a travel insurance, you are supposed to exert caution in order to choose one that you will benefit fully from. The first step in this is identifying a company that you can trust. The company Should be one with a good reputation in regards to the manner in which it has been treating its customers.

You will also have to look for a company offering the intended insurance travel plans. It should cover everything you are in fear of in your journey. Among such risks are property loss, money loss, sicknesses, and so on.
Once you know the companies with the insurance coverage you need, it is important to consider the much you will have to spend as you get insured.

Hamilton went 0-for-4 in last night’s 9-5 loss to the White Sox. While he at least contributed with a sacrifice fly and an RBI ground out, a smattering of boos could be heard after he struck out in the third and fifth innings.
According to Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Hamilton wasn’t happy about being booed in his home ballpark, but acknowledged that it comes with the territory.
“Yeah, I noticed but it’s all about what have you done for me lately, no matter who you are,” Hamilton said. “That’s what it is. There are more fans that are still cheering and encouraging me than the ones that are booing.
“I pray for the ones that are [booing] and I appreciate the support of the other ones.”
Hamilton, who has fought addiction his entire career, has heard plenty from fans across the country. But what did he make of the hometown crowd booing him?
“It’s disappointing,” he said.
Hamilton paused and repeated: “It’s disappointing. It is. I’ll leave it at that.”

The Registered Massage Therapists’ Association of Ontario (RMTAO) has published a guideline to assist individuals who receive treatment from a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) in understanding all aspects of their massage therapy appointment. This guideline covers a variety of areas including what to expect from an assessement, what to wear to your massage therapy appointment, what self-care recommendations you can antitcipate and the importance of informed consent. This guideline was designed to help patients of massage therapists feel more confident in accessing massage therapy care by knowing what to expect.
Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) set their own fees and those fees are not regulated. Many extended health benefits plans cover massage therapy services. Some RMTs will bill insurance companies directly while others will require payment from the patient who then submits the claim to their insurance provider. This guideline does not include specific fees which can vary based on many different factors. RMTAO members can access a fee guideline in our Resource Library.


A Florida father alleges that school officials held "secret meetings over gender identity confusion," and didn't tell parents until after the elementary school child tried to commit suicide. Now the matter is the focus of a federal lawsuit against the school brought by the Child & Parental Rights Campaign.
As reported by Action News in Jacksonville, Fla., the child attended school in Clay County. It was after her parents received a phone call, the father said, his identity concealed, that informed him that his "daughter attempted suicide," that he became aware of the "secret meetings" and gender identity issues. He spoke with a shaking voice.
"Hanging herself in one of the bathrooms of the school," the father said. He was told that his daughter's suicide attempt was after "a gender identity crisis." But he never knew about it because school officials had kept it a secret from the family.
School leaders encouraged students and staff to refer to the 12-year-old student as a boy and even gave the young girl a new name, all in secret from the parents, the suit alleges.
It was after this Jan. 5 phone call that he learned that his elementary school daughter was "having secret meetings with the school guidance counselor." The counselor told the father that his daughter didn't want to talk about the gender identity issues at home because of the family's Catholic faith.
"I took offense," the father said, "because that had nothing to do with it. I mean I don’t even know if she understands our faith. That demonstrated she was ignorant about it. Our faith is one of unconditional love for our children."
The family's attorney, Vernadette Broyles, said that the suit is to "protect the rights of parents to be able to raise their children, to direct the care of the child, in accordance of their faith and without the interference of government officials."
"It is a serious mental health decision that school personnel are not qualified, not competent, and not authorized to make," Broyles said. "Parents must be involved in these important decisions."
Clay County Schools responded with a written statement, saying that they had performed their own investigation. "We performed an investigation into these allegations and believe the statements made by this out-of-state organization invalid."
A Jacksonville counselor said that a student's right to confidentiality is also protected, until such time as that child presents a danger to themselves or others. Legally, that counselor told Action News Jax, that is when parents must be informed. In this case, that was very nearly too late.
LGBTQ+ activists claim that students' parents should not be let in on their gender identity or sexual orientation confusion or concerns. Richard Ceriello, who worked in Clay County schools, said that students need to be able to keep information private from parents.
"The counselor would keep this information private of course unless the child chose to share that with the counselor and the family," Ceriello said.
Manny Velasquez-Paredez, another LGBTQ+ advocate, blames parents if children feel that they would rather speak to a teacher than bring their concerns about gender identity or sexual orientation up at home. "If the individual did not come out to their family, there’s a reason for that," he said.
A bill in the Florida state legislature would prohibit schools from withholding information about a child's welfare or well-being from parents. The bill, which would curb conversations between school officials, teachers, and students on gender identity and sexual orientation, has passed through committee in Florida's House while a similar bill makes its way through the Senate.
The Parental Rights in Education Bill would allow parents to sue for damages in the event that these issues come up in class. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Joe Harding of Ocala, said that "The bill is about defending the most awesome responsibility a person can have: being a parent."
The bill "Requires district school boards to adopt procedures that comport with provisions of law for notifying student's parent of specified information; requires procedures to reinforce the fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding upbringing & control of their children; provides requirements for such procedures, school districts, & personnel; requires DOE to review & update specified materials."

When Miley Cyrus broke free from her Disney days, expressing herself in new and sometimes wild ways, it became clear that Miley isn't afraid to be exactly who she is at all times. From her outfits to her music to how she spends her time, Miley has forged a unique path for herself, expressing herself in new ways constantly. In a new interview with Billboard, Miley opened up about another part of her identity.
Miley told Billboard that she often thinks about her gender identity, saying that she doesn't really identify as a boy or a girl. While she said her looks vacillates between somewhat masculine and super femme, defying expectations for how girls are "supposed" to dress, Miley said her gender identity also exists outside the binary.
"I think about being a girl all the time," Miley said. "I’m always like, 'It’s weird that I’m a girl, because I just don’t feel like a girl, and I don’t feel like a boy.'"
Miley said that she sometimes asks fiancé Liam Hemsworth how he feels about being a boy, and he says he doesn't think about. But it's not the same for Miley. While Liam may have been born male and identifies as a boy, meaning he identifies within the gender expectations that society has set up, some people don't identify within that binary. Like Miley, many gender non-conforming people don't feel like a boy or a girl, so they identify as gender neutral. While Miley didn't use those words, and we don't want to assume anything about her identity, that does seem to be what she's describing.
Miley has talked about her gender identity before, expressing in a 2015 interview that she's very gender fluid. Miley has previously come out as pansexual, which means she's romantically attracted to people regardless of gender. Being pansexual is totally different from Miley's gender identity, though.
Miley also revealed in the interview that, at the time she spoke to the reporter, that hadn't smoked weed in three weeks. Miley has been open about her marijuana use before, but she said she hasn't smoked because she wants to have a clear head.
“I like to surround myself with people that make me want to get better, more evolved, open," Miley said. "And I was noticing, it’s not the people that are stoned. I want to be super clear and sharp, because I know exactly where I want to be.”
Three weeks is the longest Miley says she's ever been weed-free, but giving it up wasn't hard, she said.
"When I want something, it’s f***ing easy for me. But if anyone told me not to smoke, I would have not done it. It’s because it was on my time," she said. "I know exactly where I am right now."
We're happy that Miley continues to express herself in any way she wants. She's being her best self, and it's honestly inspirational.

Princess Red Roses
“Princess Red Roses” is one of the outstanding stories of the first biannual International Short Story Contest 2018 written by Nor Aliah Fatinauni Binti Hasmadi, Sekolah Kebangsaan Stalon, Malaysia.
Princess Red Roses
Once upon a time, a cute princess was born. However, the princess was born with disabilities. Although the princess had disabilities, the king and queen still love the princess very much because they waited for so long to have a child.
One afternoon, the king and queen brought the princess with them for a walk in the garden near their castle. The garden was full of roses in red, yellow and white. While walking around the red roses, a fairy with a wand stopped them in their path. The fairy asked whether the princess has disabilities and the king confirmed it. The fairy took the family to a mango tree that was near them. The princess was given rose water to drink and was immediately healed from her disabilities. The fairy granted the name, Princess Red Roses, to the princess. The fairy also told the king and queen that the princess will be married to a prince with the same birthday as the princess. The name of the prince will be Prince Zaidi Kasturi. If the princess does not marry the prince, she will have the disabilities again. The fairy told the princess about the background of the prince. The prince lived in Lime Castle. The king and queen lived happily with their princess.
One day, a squirrel went into the castle. The king saw the squirrel and asked the guard to put the animal into the cage. The king wanted the squirrel as a pet. One year passed and the fairy visited the princess again. The princess was sleeping when the fairy was visiting and the squirrel was beside the princess. The fairy was shocked to see the squirrel that she was searching for a long in the cage. The fairy told the king that the squirrel was Prince Zaidi Kasturi. The king was pity towards the prince for becoming a squirrel. The fairy also told the king that Prince Zaidi was cursed by his stepmother. One year before, his mother passed away due to an accident when she was searching for a special ball left behind by Prince Zaidi’s grandmother.
Prince Zaidi’s step mother cursed Prince Zaidi because his father, King Zafri loved him so much and did not care about the new queen, Queen Zaleha. The queen cursed Prince Zaidi and acted sadly in front of the King saying that the prince was missing. The king was so sad and he offered reward for those who can find his prince. Those who can find him will be married to him when he grows up. The fairy advised the king to treat the squirrel well. The fairy also reminded the queen that the princess will marry the prince. The king asked the fairy how to reverse the curse. The fairy said when the princess reached 19 years old; they have to meet the fairy at the rose garden with the squirrel.
Nineteen years passed, the king and queen wanted to celebrate the princess’ birthday. The king remembered the promise with fairy. The king asked the queen and princess to take the squirrel with them to the rose garden. The fairy came out from the rose and gave the rose water to the squirrel but the squirrel did not drink in. The king was anxious and he asked the fairy whether there was another way. The fairy replied that another way is to ask the princess to bath the squirrel in a pond nearby with rose water.
The princess bathed the prince in the pond with rose water and it transformed into a handsome prince. The next day, the king, the queen and the princess brought the prince to his castle. When they arrived, King Zafri and Queen Zaleha could not believe their eyes. However, King Zafri had forgotten about the promise he made. The princess became mad and said she would curse anyone who did not agree with the marriage. Queen Zaleha did not agree and she was cursed to become a stone.
Eventually, the prince and princess married. They had a big wedding. After one year, they had a beautiful daughter and named her Princess Kasturi. They lived happily ever after.

WHAT IS 'JEANS FOR REFUGEES'?
'Jeans for Refugees' is a Johny Dar project and artistic fundraising initiative dedicated to helping refugees around the world, with all proceeds going to the International Rescue Committee.
One hundred celebrities are participating in the project by donating a pair of their jeans to be painted by Johny Dar. Each pair of jeans will be made into an individual art piece consisting of the painted jeans showcased in a glass box, and the 100 art pieces will be exhibited in London. At the end of the exhibition each piece will be auctioned at a special fundraiser auction, and all proceeds raised donated to the IRC initiatives helping millions of refugees worldwide on a daily basis.
Collaboration for a cause
This an artistic collaboration involving 101 talented individuals who have achieved worldwide recognition for their contributions to society in the realms of fashion, film, music, arts and sports. Each of Johny's paintings will be an artistic expression representing the dynamic individual personality that the jeans belonged to. These 100 unique expressions and individual drops of inspiration will create a unified art collection, representing a strong wave of support for a humanitarian cause, bringing more awareness and ultimately more help to those who are suffering the current refugee crisis.
We hope that this artistic collaboration, which brings together so many extraordinary personalities and talented individuals, will not only raise funds but contribute to inspiring a world in which collaboration replaces conflict, where individual expressions are celebrated and not condemned, and in which each human being is embraced and nurtured as a unique contribution to our collective experience and global society.
PARTICIPANTS TO THE PROJECT ARE:
Albert Hammond Junior, Alicia Vikander, Anna Wintour, Audrey Tatou, Bella Hadid, Benicio del Toro, Bryan Adams, Camille, Candice Swanepoel, Carl Cox, Carla Bruni, Cat Stevens, Catherine Deneuve, Chanel Iman, Charlotte Church, Christina Ricci, Christine Taylor, Claudia Schiffer, David Copperfield, Daniel Bruehl, Daniel Radcliffe, Dannii Minogue, Elle McPherson, Elton John, Emma Watson, Eva Herzigova, Fearne Cotton, Florence Welch, Iris Berben, Isabelle Adjani, James Norton, Jamie Theakston, Jane Birkin, Jim Broadbent, Julio Iglesias, Karlie Kloss, Kate Moss, Lars von Trier, Lily Allen, Linda Evangelista, Macy Gray, Marianne Faithful, Melanie C, Minnie Driver, Nicholas Hoult, Nina Hagen, Ozzy Osbourne, Peaches, Pedro Almodovar, P!nk, Ryan Gosling, Sadie Frost, Selah Sue, Sharon Osbourne, Sharon Stone, Sofia Coppola, Tinie Tempah, Tom Waits, Toni Garrn, Tuppence Middleton, Vivienne Westwood, Woody Allen and many more.

E-cigarettes have become more and more popular over recent years as people across the world try to stop smoking. However, as they have become more common, so too have restrictions over their use. Yet a new study suggests that currently these rules don't go far enough for many.
The C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health at the University of Michigan in the US revealed that both parents and teenagers think 'vaping' needs stricter regulations.
Restrictions in public spaces, health warnings and the application of conventional cigarette tax were three measures supported by more than three-fourths of both teens and adults.
More than 80% of parents and teens also said that allowing teens to use e-cigarettes will encourage them to use other tobacco products. With 42% of teenagers saying they know peers who had used e-cigarettes, this belief could be problematic if true.
Matthew M. Davis, director of the National Poll on Children's Health and professor of paediatrics and internal medicine in the Child Health Evaluation and Research Unit of U of M's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, said:
"Just as we are seeing declines in smoking of conventional cigarettes, there has been rapid growth in the use of electronic cigarettes among youth. Our poll indicates that both parents and teens agree that e-cigarettes pose several concerns."
Other findings from the survey include:
- Over half of parents and teens think it is easy for people under 18 to buy e-cigarettes.
- 64% of parents and 71% of teens support banning sweet and fruit-flavoured e-cigarettes.
- 14% of parents report having tried or are currently using e-cigarettes, compared to 9% of teens
While US-based, the research has implications for societies across the globe, suggesting governments need to tighten up on e-cigarettes.

It is all but impossible, both in theory and in practice, to legally obtin an abortion on the island of Ireland, both north and south of the imaginary border that divides this island. It is completely impossible to safely and legally obtain an abortion anywhere in Ireland; the legal framework in the south specifically requires that in order to obtain an abortion without being criminalised for so doing, the woman who needs it must be ill enough to die; thus it is rendered impossible for her to be safe in access to legal abortion.
Workers Solidarity Movement position paper on Anarchism and Religion as ratified at November 2010 National Conference
In case you missed it, the pope is set to visit Ireland in 2018. Archbishop Eamon Martin has said that this visit will be used to campaign against abortion, and that the church will run a much stronger campaign against it than what they did on marriage equality.
When the pope came to power in 2013 he was hailed and celebrated by liberals as some sort of radical who was single handedly going to bring the church into the 21st century. With statements such as the now famous "who am I to judge?" in regards to LGBT+ people you could almost have been fooled that the liberals were right.
Geo-strategically the Al Qa’ida leadership (Azzam, bin Laden, Zawahiri) are products of the Cold War, specifically the Afghan Mujahidin war against the USSR. Rather like their American neo-con previous employers, Al Qa’ida view the end of the Cold War as a victory over the USSR by their own side. The Al Qa’ida perspective is that, having “defeated” one superpower, the global jihad now needs to turn its offensive against the remaining superpower. Al Qa’ida worry that the Zarqawists of ISIS may be restricting the struggle to a parochial Mesopotamian sectarian struggle that could fail to engage Muslim jihadists around the world, outside the MENA region, say in West Africa or Indonesia and the Philippines where the US is a more credible #1 enemy than Iran.
Following on from the rapid spread of Isis in Iraq & Syria Paul Bowman presented an update intended to inform on the contemporary politics of Jihadism and its entanglement with regional and global imperialist power plays.
He starts by looking in detail at the ideological / religious background of the Salafist movements including ISIS and how such movements differ from those of the Muslim Brotherhood / Ikwanite.
Almost a century ago, "800 years of oppression" at the hands of the Anglo-Normans and the British monarchy came to an end on three quarters of the island, but it wasn't the end of oppression in Ireland. The baton was eagerly taken by the Catholic Church and the southern Irish state, and in eight years they will be celebrating one hundred years of kidnap, torture, murder and sexual abuse. (content warning: Mentions sexual abuse, child abuse, kidnapping, neglect)
Today's Irish Times IPSOS poll results show the marginalisation of the catholic hierarchy and the anti choice movement. Both bodies have thrown everything they can into opposing the proposed legislation for the X case and rolling back the growing public support for wide access to abortion. The poll also demonstrates just how far behind the people are the political class when it comes to the issue.
The questions and the percentages are below
1:Do you approve of the legislation? Yes - 75%, No - 14%.

This looks like a fun little game.
I didn't like the emphasis on simple gaming, but if they're talking about 'Diablo' simple then it could be a lot of fun. I just hope they don't make it too simple like Fate. Then it's just boring.
@St. Penguin You probably could of got L4d2 a lot cheaper if you bought it at the retail stores…well what consists of retail stores in Taiwan
800 NT is the usual rate for the games over here if you don't get a preordered foreign version, like I did for Risen. I'm still waiting for them to get that damn game. I'm not waiting much longer though. I can't stand that people are playing it and I CAN'T!!!
Despite all my rage.
I'm still just a rat in a cage.

Cortisol And Its Effects On The Body
As discussed in previous blog postings here, constantly elevated levels of the body’s stress hormone cortisol can have deleterious consequences for both your physical and mental well-being over time. Constant cortisol streaming through your blood can lead to forgetfulness and insomnia in the short run and then to cardiovascular and other problems down the line. Therefore, it’s important to do what is necessary to lower your body’s cortisol levels and get them back within reasonable levels as quickly as possible.
Supplements That May Reduce Cortisol
While meditation and exercise are great ways to get your stress levels down, many folks are turning to supplements to help out with this all-too-common problem. According to Bodybuilding. com, there are definite benefits to shopping for supplements that can reduce your cortisol levels both naturally and safely. Vitamin C is one of the most beneficial such supplements as a study showed that just one extra gram of vitamin C taken a day improved weightlifters’ cortisol-to-testosterone ratio by 20 percent.
Other supplements that can also battle the negative effects of cortisol on your body include L-Glutamine (10-15 grams) and chromium, which stabilizes blood sugar levels—which in turn reduces cortisol levels in the blood. Other supplements to keep on your shopping include B vitamins, ginger and cayenne (yep, that spicy stuff found in peppers).According to the Dr. Oz Show, you can also go shopping for such stress-reducing foods as spinach, beans and barley. While all of this is important, it must be balanced out with exercise, rest and de-stressing your life as much as possible and learning to cope with the inevitable life stressors you will encounter.
Do you have any questions about cortisol or the supplements that might help to reduce it? Let us know in the comments below.

US could stop pumping arms into Ukraine: reports
The United States is too plunged into its domestic issues to be able to continue sending aid to Ukraine, according to officials.
The days when Congress unanimously supported the US giving arms and equipment to Ukraine are seemingly over, with widespread support for aid dwindling as House Republicans are questioning whether American taxpayers' money would be better spent either against China or the economic hardship that is facing the United States, members of Congress have reported, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Any bill aimed at sending money or weapons to Ukraine passed in Congress without any questions asked, with unwavering bipartisan support, as US politicians saw it as a priority to keep Kiev armed to the teeth so that it can fight Russia.
Since the start of the war, the US has given Ukraine $15.8 billion for "security assistance", which includes a package worth $600 million in early September. Additionally, the White House asked Congress for $13.7 billion for "security and economic assistance" for Ukraine, which the body must pass by the end of the month to keep the Ukrainian government standing.
The opposition to aid to Ukraine is growing; not because the continuous flow of arms would only prolong the war, but because Republican members of Congress cannot justify spending so much money overseas when their country is grappling with various economic and financial crises, most notably soaring inflation.
With the November elections looming on the horizon, the Republican Party is growing more opposed to spending money on Ukraine, and cutting aid to Kiev is only projected to become more of a GOP priority if the red party wins the majority in the House of Representatives in January.
Los Angeles Republican Steve Scalise and New York Republican Elise Stefanik, the second and third most senior House Republicans, recently refused to reveal whether their party would continue pumping money into Ukraine if their party secures the majority.
"There are a lot of members that want to see more accountability in the Department of Defense and more of a focus on the threats that are out there," Scalise told reporters. "China is moving very aggressively to build up a naval fleet. And right now, our naval fleet is in decline."
Tensions have been on the rise between Washington and Beijing, especially over Taiwan. The situation escalated following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taipei. China considers Taiwan part of its territory and opposes any direct official foreign contacts with the island.
Pelosi's visit led China to end cooperation with the US on a number of issues such as climate change, anti-drug efforts, and military talks.
Bipartisan support is not dwindling all too much just yet, as many lawmakers said they expected the $13.7 billion requested by the White House to pass, though they were not too optimistic regarding future requests.
The prospect of Republicans taking over the House of Representatives and the growing GOP resistance to Ukraine aid have pushed the Congress and Biden administration officials to work on swiftly accessing as much assistance to Ukraine as possible before 2023.
If Republicans take control they could invoke a rule used by past GOP speakers that requires majority-Republican support before any bill is brought to the Senate floor for a vote, Arizona Democrat Representative Ruben Gallego said.
"Right now, Ukraine is doing very well," Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley recently told reporters. "They've seized the strategic initiative, and the Russians have lost their strategic initiative."
The United States has not only been giving money and arms to Ukraine, as a senior official in the US Department of Defense said earlier this month that his country was closely engaged with the armed forces of Ukraine ahead of their Kharkov counteroffensive, providing Kiev's military with intelligence in the buildup to the operation.
The official then went on to underline how his country would continue providing training for Ukraine's military on modern weapon systems supplied to the country by the West as the war unfolds.
"The United States is already has been for a couple of months now been training Ukrainian forces on how to operate some of the newer, more modern capabilities that we have been supplying to Ukraine," the official said.
Despite Washington providing information to Kiev about Russian command posts, ammunition depots, and other potential targets, Ukrainian officials had been hesitant to disclose operational plans to their US counterparts earlier in the conflict, fearing that doing so "could highlight weaknesses and discourage continued American support," US officials told the New York Times.
However, all changed this summer, when Kiev concluded that discussing preparations for its counteroffensive would, contrary to past fears, compel Washington to supply Ukraine with even more weapons, according to what unidentified senior US officials told the NYT.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said a few weeks back that Ukraine has been awaiting another millions-of-dollars-worth shipment of rounds for US-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS).
After a meeting at the US air base in Ramstein, Germany, Reznikov said: "The Ukrainian delegation has wrapped up a very eventful and fruitful visit to the Fifth Ukraine Defense Contact Group … An additional $675 million aid package was announced at the meeting. It includes crucial HIMARS ammo."
HIMARS is capable of launching Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) missiles with a range of up to 50 miles as well as a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile with a range of 186 miles. The US has been continuesly supplying Ukraine with GMLRSs, while Kiev continues to make demands for ATACMS delivery.
In addition to burdening the US with requests for aid, Ukraine is selling weapons it acquired from its allies on the black market due to the Kiev forces' limited ability to use them because of their lack of training, logistical challenges, and the diminishing size of the Ukrainian armed force, according to former senior Pentagon adviser Karen Kwiatkowski.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu previously said the arms supplied by the West to Ukraine were ending up on the black market and spreading across West Asia.
The statements by Moscow and the Pentagon are not just claims, as Kiev itself backed them by admitting that foreign aid meant for Ukraine was already being sold. Ukraine's Bureau of Economic Security Director Vadym Melnyk told Ukraine 24 that the agency had identified repeated cases of selling Western military and humanitarian aid.
Though the United States has been taking care of providing training for the Ukrainian soldiers when it comes to arms they are not accustomed to, Kiev is still selling its arms to the black market due to "inexperience".
A growing number of GOP lawmakers have shown signs of opposition to further pumping arms and money into Ukraine. A few months ago, the political wing of conservative think tank Heritage Foundation, Heritage Action, was against the Biden administration- and Congress-approved $40 billion aid bill. The think tank cited domestic inflation, domestic and foreign debt, and the spending priorities of Washington politicians as its main concerns.

City of Napoleon Fire and Rescue


The largest dirty energy consumer in the world is going on a clean-energy diet in a bid to improve its interests in global combat zones. The Pentagon is working feverishly to convert its sites and operations to renewable power by a staggered set of deadlines ending about a decade from now.
The moves are in response to a landmark 2012 government mandate requiring the military to retain one-quarter of its energy from sustainable resources like solar and wind power by the year 2025.
Sustainability cast in terms of national security goals is making headway as military leaders allocate the billions in funds provided by Congress to support the green transition. For an organization with an annual utility bill exceeding $20 billion, every penny will be needed to make the necessary switches.
‘Great Green Fleet’
Officials expect to install at least 3 GW of renewable generation capacity on Army, Air Force, and Navy bases around the world in the coming years. Different branches are preparing in different ways.
The Navy is gearing up for a 2020 renewable power deadline by developing what’s known as the Great Green Fleet. It’s an aircraft carrier group of ships entirely powered by alternative energy, mainly biofuels.
The Air Force, for its part, is implementing a Net Zero Plan. As its name suggests, the Plan will lead the agency to “consume no more energy than is generated” through a combination of R&D and new renewable energy installations. The Air Force hopes to produce 1 GW of clean energy for its own purposes by 2016.
Meanwhile, the Army is working on a hybrid Humvee that’s twice as efficient as the famous gas-guzzler. And engineers are knocking their heads together to answer a burning question: How can renewables help maintain the safe flow of energy to soldiers under fire?
Mission Critical Technology
As one of the world’s largest armies expands its definition of national security to include environmental considerations, the notion that going green can help in some unexpected ways is gaining momentum. Sustainability is increasingly seen as boosting real-world security and battlefield readiness.
In the field, soldiers need a reliable supply of energy to maintain critical communications and stay alive. Because energy security is typically an immediate matter of life or death, military leaders know firsthand the importance of making even small changes that favor efficiency and energy independence.
One of the greatest vulnerabilities for the military in Afghanistan is the easy target that fuel convoys make. Filled with flammable materials that must pass through enemy-compromised areas, fuel convoys are frequently sniped, torched, and bombed, along with the personnel moving them.
A particularly devastating attack in August, which saw the incineration of 35 NATO fuel tankers and six driver fatalities, underscored the inherent weakness of having to transport fossil fuels in a war zone. Over 3,000 American servicemembers were killed in these kinds of attacks between 2003 and 2007.
But with renewable resources, “there is no supply chain vulnerability, there are no commodity costs and there’s a lower chance of disruption,” explains Richard Kidd, the Army’s deputy assistant secretary of energy security.
“A fuel tanker can be shot at and blown up. The sun’s rays will still be there.”
The tactical use of solar power cuts the amount of fuel needed to power outposts and thereby reduce fatalities along transport lines. Kidd says operational readiness has “gone up dramatically wherever solar has been deployed.”
These and related developments haven’t been lost on the top military brass—many of who now believe mission success hinges on access to energy efficiency and self-sufficiency.


Sheets of magnetic steel in the transformer vibrate in a magnetic field, generating an audible hum. Transformers operate by changing an electric current with one voltage and current value to a magnetic field, which is then transformed back into an electric current with a different voltage and current value.
Step down transformers for utility power usually hum at the frequency of alternating power used, 60 Hz in the United State. Audible humming also results when the transformer components expand and contract in the magnetic field, a process known as magnetostriction, but this only occurs in larger transformers with higher currents and stronger magnetic fields.
Measures taken to limit this humming include using a special, rigid steel that resists magnetically induced expansion and contraction, increasing the number of steel sheets in the transformer to reduce the amount of expansion and contraction per sheet, and fastening the transformer components securely to a rigid frame to restrict their vibration. The noise generated by a transformer can also be dampened by placing the transformer in an insulating liquid such as oil, which absorbs both the mechanical vibrations and heat generated during operation. Because transformers are usually operated at set input and output voltages, reducing the magnetic field is not a viable way to limit the vibrations.


- Electronics company TCL has claimed that it expects PS5 Pro and the new Xbox Series X|S consoles to launch in 2023 or 2024.
- During its latest press event, TCL has shared some details about the expected console refresh.
- Sony and Microsoft may be looking at a manufacturing advantage with the console refresh as PS5 and Xbox Series X stocks have been limited since launch.
Rumours regarding upgraded versions of PS5 and Xbox Series X|S have been making rounds for several months. The new versions of these consoles are expected to come with a significant performance and graphics boost. AMD, which manufactured processors for both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, has recently started hiring a System-on-Chip verification engineer for the next-gen RDNA family graphics seemingly for the new consoles. These chips are expected to be based on the Zen 3 architecture that could be used for PS5 Pro and the next Xbox Series X|S consoles.
Electronics company TCL has now claimed that it expects PS5 Pro and the new Xbox Series X|S consoles to arrive in 2023 or 2024. According to the Polish site PPE.pl, the company hosted a press event to show off its latest TVs and shared some details about the expected console refresh. TCL claims that the new consoles will offer up to 120 FPS gameplay at 2160p resolution and they will be able to play games in 8K. The company also expects PS5 Pro and the next Xbox Series X|S with chips that are equivalent to AMD’s upcoming Radeon RX 7700 XT GPU. It should be noted that neither Sony nor Microsoft has confirmed these details yet.
Both Sony and Microsoft had released newer versions of their last-gen consoles, which were PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. So, it won’t be surprising to see the companies follow the same strategy for the current-gen consoles too. Besides these, the companies may also be looking at a manufacturing advantage with the console refresh as PS5 and Xbox Series X stocks have been limited since launch due to the global chip shortage. With newer consoles and better production techniques, Microsoft and Sony could be able to offset the impact of PS5 and Xbox Series X stock shortage.

报告人：Jocelyne Bloch & Grégoire Courtine
Over the past decade, we have developed synergistic neurotechnologies that restored leg motor control in animal models of spinal cord injury (SCI) and Parkinson’s disease. These neurotechnologies combine spatiotemporal electrical spinal cord stimulation, brain-machine interfaces and smart body weight support systems. Here, we report the ability of these neurotechnologies to enable or improve leg motor control in humans with chronic SCI. Seven non-ambulatory individuals with incomplete or motor complete SCI were surgically implanted with a spinal cord stimulation system equipped with real-time triggering capabilities. Personalized computational models of the spinal cord and intraoperative electrophysiological assessments guided the placement of an electrode paddle array targeting the posterior roots of the lumbosacral spinal cord. After recovery from surgery, we configured spatiotemporal stimulation protocols that aimed to facilitate leg movements during the execution of basic motor tasks. Concretely, the location, timing and parameters of electrical stimulation bursts were adjusted in order to modulate the regions of the spinal cord containing the motor neuron pools associated with the ongoing or desired movement. Application of these personalized spatiotemporal neuromodulation strategies boosted the residual commands from the brain, enabling single-joint movements, standing, walking and biking in individuals who were not able to perform these tasks without stimulation. Moreover, rehabilitative training enabled by these stimulation protocols led to improvement of motor functions even in the absence of stimulation. These results establish realistic avenues for the conception of a treatment that accelerates and improves motor recovery after SCI.
Jocelyne Bloch is a neurosurgeon at Lausanne University Hospital. She specialized in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, and acquired an extensive experience and expertise in deep brain stimulation (DBS) and neuromodulation for movement disorders, pain and epilepsy. She is in charge of the functional neurosurgical unit at the CHUV. Very active in research and translational neuroscience, professor Jocelyne Bloch is seeking to develop new indications for DBS, as well as to participate in the development of new advanced technologies and therapeutic strategies.
Grégoire Courtine is an Associate Professor at the Center for Neuroprosthetics and the Brain Mind Institute at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL). He and his team have conducted extensive research in the field of neural interfaces, neurorehabilitation and spinal cord injury. The research of his group is internationally recognized and has led to numerous publications in the world most renowned science journals, such as Nature, Science, Cell, Nature Medicine and Science Translational Medicine.

The misuse of NSA authorities for romantic purposes, popularly known as Loveint, was cited in various media reports as an instance of widespread compromise of people’s privacy by the NSA. The Wall Street Journal reported in August that NSA officers had used the agency’s “enormous eavesdropping power to spy on love interests.” But General Keith Alexander, director of the NSA, on Thursday described the “claimed evidence of thousands of privacy violations” as false and misleading.
“According to NSA’s independent inspector general, there have been only 12 substantiated cases of willful violation over 10 years—essentially one per year,” Alexander told a hearing on Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Authorities of the U. S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. “Several of these cases were referred to the Department of Justice for potential prosecution, appropriate discipline action in other cases. We hold ourselves accountable very day.”

- A post I made to comp.sys.tandy
(describing a potential development project for Tim Mann's xtrs TRS-80
has inspired George Phillips to start his own project,
Trsdisk builds a "virtual TRS-80 disk image" for use in an emulator
(i.e. xtrs) based on the content of files in the host's directory. In
other words, the emulated TRS-80 system can access native files.
George points out that his project is still experimental. I am hoping
that I get the chance to improve on it sometime.

DMX Arrested Again For Driving Without a License. [video]
We have been down this road again…literally. DMX was arrested after a police officer spotted him at a gas station at 1 AM Wednesday morning.
DMX was spotted at the Lil’ Cricket Gas station in Spartanburg, South Carolina. A Sherriff County deputy recognized X and watched him pump his gas, go into the gas station and then get in the driver’s seat of his car and drive away. The officer followed him and ran his plates. A state DMV search showed he only had a state identification card on him and was not issued a legal license.
DMX was booked and thrown in the Spartanburg County jail around 2 AM. The formal charge was driving without a license. He was in the car with his five month old daughter and another licensed driver to which authorities turned the car over to when he was taken into custody.
He was allowed to pay a fine and was released around 6 AM.
X says that he basically wasted five hours of his life. In an interview following his release X said,
“When I could have just paid the money right there on the spot,” Simmons said. “Basically it was just five hours wasted for nothing. I don’t have a court date or a court appearance.”
Only DMX can say it in in that crazy DMX growl….watch the clip below
