“I’m a disabled artist.” Let’s look at that statement for a minute – what is a ‘disabled artist’?
We have a very set cultural perception of what someone who is disabled looks like; they’re usually in a wheelchair or at least have some visual clue to their impairment, allowing us to adjust our expectations and respond accordingly.
But many disabilities are actually invisible. I don’t look disabled, yet I am – so you could say that I’m a disabled artist.
I bristle at that description, though. I’m not a disabled artist, I’m an artist who has additional needs. By calling myself a disabled artist I put the focus on an aspect of myself that has no bearing on my finished work. You can’t tell I’m disabled by looking at my art – it stands alongside the work of non-disabled artists on its own merits.
This is why my heart sinks when I see projects for disabled artists being promoted as the way forward. It allows the arts sector to congratulate itself that it’s doing all it can, whilst segregating and defining an entire group of people according to something which usually has no relevance to their artistic outputs.
By creating separate opportunities for artists with impairments we reinforce the notion of disability as ‘other’; something that happens ‘over there’. It’s the very opposite of what we should be striving for as a sector – which is inclusion.
Disability is one of the protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010; the legislative framework by which people are safeguarded from unfair treatment and given access to equal opportunities. Judging by the number of opportunities that are inaccessible to me for want of the smallest adjustments in perception and provision, it seems this legislation has passed the arts sector by.
I frequently encounter this issue. A recent residential workshop I was interested in applying for appeared to have so many barriers to inclusion that I got in touch to see whether adjustments could be made to allow for my disabilities.
These weren’t major things like installing ramps and winches – just rest stops on communal walks, an awareness that not everyone is able to share a bedroom (and is happy to pay for separate accommodation), an understanding that some folk struggle with large tranches of text and would cope better with course materials in other formats.
Such considerations need to be made at the planning stage – it’s fundamental to ensuring equal opportunities. As I write, I’ve yet to receive an answer to my queries.
None of this is to belittle the excellent work that is being done by groups like Unlimited who work solely to promote disabled artists. There are artists for whom disability informs the bulk of their work and they may be grateful for a dedicated platform to showcase it.
It shouldn’t be the only option though, and it certainly shouldn’t be held up as the best option for all artists with impairments. Most of the artists I’ve spoken to just want to be included in the ordinary, everyday opportunities, not be shown under a neon sign flashing ‘DISABLED!’
So, what needs to change? Well, arts organisations, galleries, charities, artist-led groups, etc, all need to gain a fundamental knowledge of equality and diversity and start applying it to the opportunities they provide.
Making opportunities accessible to a broader range of people can only enrich the visual arts. Small, reasonable adjustments and an understanding that not everyone has the same resources can make a huge difference to the number of artists who can apply for opportunities, and that can only be mutually beneficial.
No doubt it will take the industry time to adjust, but adjust it must if we are to embrace inclusion and eschew segregation.

Reese’s Overload Scotcheroos
My brother loves Scotcheroos, and these bars were inspired by him :)
I got to thinking that Reese’s Puffs would be awesome in place of the rice krispies.
And then to take out the butterscotch completely and make it 100% PB and Chocolate.
Which would necessitate the addition of Reese’s Cups and Reese’s Pieces.
They were kind of awesome.
Kind of really awesome. You’re gonna love them.

We finished up our latest video which was a timelapse
we met up around 5:30 and ended the day at 6pm, filming all around campus. The experience was fun and long but using the remote slider was worth it, and we got some amazing shots which was cool. We also filmed for our last project which is called “The Arts of CSUSM” showcasing a lot of different mediums that we do on campus and making it in a video. We are still in the process of shooting and it may carry on until the end of the semester.
Collection of my work that plays with the space of art, narrative, and light. This semester i learned the importance of lighting and how to use it to make beautiful moments come to life. I knew lightning was important but being able to utilize it in my work, whether its film or photography, lightning made all the difference and i hope to practice and continue to get better in using the lightning equipment and create more wonderful moments.
Here is the finished Discover CSUSM video i worked on.
So far my internship is doing great, we got two more projects left. The next project will be a sunset to sunrise of Cal State, pretty much multiple clips of the different sunrise/sunsets with an epic song playing in the background. Then the last video of the semester will show case everything that is the school of art, from graphic design to photography and film. Christine Vaughn also asked me to do another video with Kristine Kirchmeier and that is to film the commencement and graduates of 2015. It will be an exciting time as it ends this chapter of this spring, Everything has been running smoothing and can’t wait to finish strong and make all these videos.
This is my sun series, i love how lighting can play a huge part in creating such a beautiful image, and so these are the three of my strongest images i would submit to the comeptition
This weekend we shot the event Discover CSUSM, the event is about new coming students and anyone interested in learning about the campus, the history, and the opportunities the campus provides. There were many activities going on, lectures, campus tours, rock climbing, slides, resource fair, and athletic invitationals. It was a long day, my partner and i filmed from 8 – 5pm with some breaks in between. But we got some great shots. Now we are in post and must finish editing by Monday for a good first draft so we are able to make some final edits by Wed.

About the solution
Jennifer Holland, an Australian entrepreneur and mother, is the mind behind Throat Scope. The inspiration for this innovative product struck her during a visit to the doctor with her 15-month-old baby, who was experiencing a sore throat. Observing the doctor's use of a wooden tongue depressor and flashlight to examine her child's throat, Holland recognized the absence of an affordable intraoral light. To fill this gap, she embarked on research and crafted the initial prototype in her garage, costing a mere $2.50. This prototype laid the foundation for her first patent, centered around light refraction and transparent plastic. This breakthrough offered an economical alternative to fiber optics. Throat Scope was then born in 2010 as an illuminating tongue depressor and retraction device, to facilitate swift, precise, and hassle-free intraoral examinations.
Jennifer Holland pitched Throat Scope and was awarded the Pitch Tank 2018 Winner by judges Steve Forbes, Bernt Ullmann, Kevin Harrington, John Mackay, and Kerry Gordy. This esteemed recognition was followed by a significant boost of $110,000 from Amazon, reinforcing the revolutionary potential of her creation. To launch her product Jennifer also used a $50,000 Queensland Government grant, in addition to her notable appearance on a reality television show, to secure the necessary support for her visionary project.
Motivated by her passion for innovation, Jennifer Holland transitioned from inventing Throat Scope to founding Holland Healthcare. This visionary med-tech company is dedicated to two significant goals. First, crafting Inspired Diagnostic Solutions to aid families in recognizing oral health issues like oral cancer, sore throat, thrush, and inflamed gums. Second, using advanced technology to turn conventional medical devices into AI-powered tools. They also aim to introduce an accessible Virtual Oral Healthcare System for widespread high-quality oral health exams and telehealth services.
It's worth highlighting that Throat Scope is a medical device approved by the FDA, TGA and CE that nowadays has achieved remarkable global reach, being available in over 140 countries.
Jennifer's journey and Holland Healthcare's efforts are celebrated for simplifying medical processes in oral health and telemedicine. Their positive impact spans hospitals, clinics, dental offices, and more. Beyond diagnosis, they emphasize early head and neck cancer detection and efficient resource use. With a forward-looking perspective, Holland Healthcare seeks to merge medical devices with AI-driven solutions, embodying their vision of boundary-pushing Inspired Diagnostic Solutions.

As you look for that best air cleaner to guard Your loved ones from dust, pet dander together with other airborne allergens, you can operate across numerous different types of air cleaners, air purifiers, air filters and air filtration systems. Probably the most interesting and eye catching products and solutions that you can buy is The full Residence HEPA Air Cleaner Filtration Method. This report also includes Total Property Air Filters and Entire Dwelling Air Purifiers. There are plenty of of them in the marketplace! Regretably human character often kicks into significant gear if the fantastic give of a central total home air cleaner is marketed as being a way of trying to keep your whole property clean with just one solitary gizmo! The reality is THESE AIR AIR CLEANING Devices JUST CAN'T Clear A complete Home! You will discover 5 varieties of air cleansing products which are marketed to clean an entire residence. They may be: HEPA air filtration bypass air cleaners Digital air cleaners Self-Charging electrostatic air filters Ultraviolet gentle systems Portable ozone-ionizer air purifiers This report will make clear the reality regarding how Each individual of these items in fact run and what Gains they truly do supply in your case. Also involved are the appropriate steps to consider to get a thoroughly clean indoor air setting.
Myth #1. Entire home HEPA air cleaner / bypass techniques - These fairly pricey techniques are flawed in layout from the beginning. The concept behind these models is to tug a portion of the air stream within the return facet of your respective furnace or air-con method, clean it and then return it into the availability aspect in the furnace or air conditioning units ductwork. More often than not, it requires taking up to thirty% in the air from the return ductwork. The air is then cleaned that has a substantial performance filter such as a HEPA and/or carbon filter. The cleaned air is then returned into the provision ductwork from the air handling method (bypassing" the air handler unit). This kind of an air cleansing procedure underneath this design and style poses numerous regions of failure. First off, you are assuming that the majority from the airborne contaminants as part of your dwelling space are drawn in to the heating and or cooling technique.
Nonetheless, home heating/air conditioning programs are created to heat and cool. They're not designed to pull dust, dander and allergens into a HEPA air cleaner in the slim return ductwork at much distances. Note that The good greater part of properties have only one air return per air con technique. So devoid of using a signifies of returning the air from Every single and every home into the air handler, the overall usefulness of such HEPA air cleaner devices is nullified. It's because many rooms will not be able to have soiled air pulled from them. So the "total residence" air cleaner will only be capable of cleanse the soiled air which makes it in the return facet of your ductwork. This is a really limited amount! Next, to ensure that the HEPA air cleaner to operate at all, the fan for that HEPA cleaner as well as the admirer for the air handler device will have to operate most of the time.
This suggests Significant Electrical Charges! Acquiring equally blower units operating frequently makes use of noticeably additional electricity than transportable systems located in unique rooms. And lastly, and even more importantly, even in a perfect globe where by the air from everywhere in the dwelling is making it back again into your return duct function by numerous air returns, a bypass procedure is barely cleansing approximately thirty% from the return air since it is simply obtaining up to thirty% of the return air. This implies, even if the HEPA air cleaner unit is running at 100% effectiveness for all contaminants, only 30% of your complete air going through the return duct do the job is definitely becoming cleaned. Thus, whenever you think about the program in general, it's only 30% effective. In addition your complete air return duct work from your air vents from the rooms to your HEPA air cleaner procedure will come to be filthy since the air getting into into your return duct do the job isn't currently being filtered! Also these complete residence cleaning systems call for high-priced pre-filter replacements to guard the even dearer HEPA filter! The bottom line in this article is the fact that Central HEPA filtered kinds that set up into air con / furnace systems can't adequately thoroughly clean the air in a whole property or setting up!
Myth #two. Entire dwelling Digital cleaner methods (Also referred to as Electrostatic precipitators) - Digital programs are made to suit to the air return side of your central air-con method or furnace. They can only filter the air that may be brought into them from the air return duct or place that contributes to the Digital cleaner unit. These models use electrically charged steel or fiber cells that entice dust particles on to them. Regrettably this aged know-how is outdated and it does not work properly! This is because soon after a light volume of dust handles the surface area with the charged cell grid, the rest of the incoming dust and allergens will go correct throughout the air cleaner and again in to the indoor natural environment for individuals to breathe! Also, Central Electronic Cleaners with Billed Collector Mobile Grids Deliver Non-Adjustable Levels of Ozone! This can be an irritant to individuals with bronchial asthma and lung complications! Given that most residences and properties have just one central air return for every method or zone, these electronic cleaners are not able to pull soiled air from rooms or spots which are a lot more then a number of ft faraway from the air return that is attached to or leading to the Digital air cleaner. Major businesses that create these electronic cleaners are Honeywell, Trion and Aprilaire. There's no WAY that central electronic cleaners can pull the dirty air from across the house or from The within of bedrooms and or places of work which have been clear of the central air return space in your house or making! They're not Complete Residence Air Cleaners!
Myth #three. Total household self-charging electrostatic air filters. These air filters are custom made created to dimension to replace your present throw absent air filters in the furnace or central air-con techniques air handler device or air return. These are constructed from a number of layers of poly propylene fiber which permit them to become electrically billed when air flows by means of them. They are able to then seize dust and allergens onto them similar to a magnet. These air filters are resilient, washable, reasonably priced and they might previous for many years. These are great for keeping your air con or heating program and ductwork clean up as they could capture and remove incredibly little particles of dust and allergens with the air in your home or constructing! Nevertheless, much like the less powerful toss absent filters, self charging electrostatic air filters can only thoroughly clean the air with the air handler unit or from your air return place They're working from! Self-charging electrostatic air filters simply cannot pull the dirty air from throughout the property or from The within of bedrooms and or places of work which are from the central air return place in your house or building! They aren't Complete Household Air Filters!
Fantasy #four. Full house ultra-violet (UV) light methods for central air conditioning units - These ultra-violet light techniques are set up into air-con techniques to destroy mildew and microorganisms. They do not get rid of dust, particulates or airborne allergens through the A/C technique, air ducts or with the indoor natural environment! These models are Air.ai designed to be put in Therefore the ultra-violet lights are shining on to the evaporator coil over the air return ingestion aspect to avoid mold and bacteria growth over the evaporator coil and bordering spot, but several of these models are set up improperly into areas of the air handler or air plenum where by they will not do Substantially excellent. Beware of UV gentle techniques that produce ozone! Lots of of those UV light devices generate ozone at levels that can not be controlled! Far too much ozone might be an irritant to people with bronchial asthma and lung issues! I've experienced ozone manufacturing UV light devices that developed a lot of ozone it burned my eyes and throat.
And I do not need bronchial asthma or any lung troubles at all! A few of these models can also be developed with non-ozone producing UV bulbs. Even so please Be aware, if an air-con procedure is thoroughly clean and set up thoroughly and it has a high quality self charging electrostatic or pleated air filter in it to guard the air handler and evaporator coil from dust, the possibility with the evaporator coil and the remainder of the method getting to be contaminated with Filth, mould and microbes will probably be drastically minimized. We endorse properly cleaning your air conditioning system and duct perform although putting in an upgraded good quality air filter in place of an extremely-violet gentle program. Make sure you understand that extremely-violet Gentle units for the air con technique aren't whole house air cleaners even though people today will declare that they'll maintain your entire household clear!

A homeless man wanted for murder in Pasco County has been captured in Sarasota, authorities said Friday.
Robert Allen Shelly, 50, is accused of killing another homeless man in Port Richey on Jan. 26. He was apprehended by the Sarasota Police without incident at the 10th Street boat ramp in Sarasota at 9:20 a.m. Friday, according to a police spokesperson.
Shelly had been spotted by security cameras at stores in Pinellas Park, Seminole and St. Petersburg in the past two days but eluded authorities and fled to Sarasota County, officials said.
Sarasota Police detectives were notified just before 9 a.m. Wednesday by U.S. Marshals and the Pasco County Sheriff's Office that Shelly was in Sarasota. He had been spotted at a Sunoco Station at 1012 N. Tamiami Trail and at a Publix at 1044 N. Tamiami Trail that morning, according to authorities.
Officers found and arrested him within about 30 minutes.
Shelly was taken to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office Detention Center, where he faces murder charges.

Just can’t get enough Rape Babies, since the entire Republican Party of Jesus now believes that Rape is the will of GOD!
Propagandist pundits often assert that sectarian Christians are no different from anyone else, they just want to be left alone…And, it is they who are the truly oppressed. Yes, nobody is more oppressed than white Sectarian Christians! So, what do they want to do when they get into power? Why, they want to force women who have been raped to have the rapists’ child! Yes, That’s what Christian America really wants. To do otherwise is repression against Christians, who are offended that anyone would suggest that rape is anything other than what those secular sluts asked for when they refused to accept Sectarian Jesus as their lord and savior. We all know they deserve it, and they should pay dearly for the consequences of their sin.
Above you can see just how much like everyone else Sectarian Christians are! A shameful 12% of mainline Protestants (most of them disgusting conservative Presbyterians and Lutherans) think that abortion should be illegal even in the case of rape. That figure doubles among Baptists (our largest Sectarian group). Among respondents affiliated with other sectarian groups (like Sarah Palin and her ilk) nearly HALF agree that abortion should be illegal even in the case of rape, and Mormons for Mitt aren’t far behind (magic underwear would have prevented the rape…). Almost 21% of Catholics fall in line with the pedophile priests. In contrast, non Christian Americans are opposed to the barbarity of forcing a women to bear the child of a rapist—only 3% are opposed to legal abortion in this case (hopefully they misunderstood the question response), while less than 8% of non-affiliates support primitive misogyny.
Of course, this is all a part of the ongoing war against women—and yes, indeed, there is actually an UPWARD TREND in opposition to legal abortion even in the case of rape!

Die Cultur der Renaissance in Italien.Basel: Schweighauser Verlag, 1860 Stock Code: 91256
First edition. Written by Burckhardt (1818-1897) between 1855 and 1858, Die Kultur der Renaissance is a milestone in cultural history. While the author's definition and historical description of the Renaissance have been rightfully questioned, "no criticism can detract from the powerful spell which Burckhardt's book has exercised upon such widely different writers as Ruskin, Nietzsche and Gobineau, as well as upon innumerable lovers of the most magnificent period of European history" (PMM, p. 211). Loosely inserted is a newspaper clipping from the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, 11 September 1960, of an article on the book, written by the Swiss historian and Burckhardt biographer Werner Kaegi to commemorate the centenary of the publication date.

text: The RXRA gene at 9q34.2 codes for retinoic acid receptor RXR-alpha which has at least two expressed isoforms. This is the receptor for retinoic acid (all-trans or preferably 9-cis retinoic acid) and binds as a heterodimer to its target response element after ligand binding. This allows regulation of gene expression in several biological processes. The retinoic acid response elements (RARE) are made up of tandem 5'-AGGTCA-3' sites known as DR1-DR5. The thyroid hormone, vitamin D , and retinoid X receptors all share a similar response element. RXR-alpha is a common heterodimeric partner for a number of nuclear receptors such as those involved in fatty acid metabolism which associate with a multiprotein complex containing transcription corepressors that induce histone acetylation, chromatin condensation and transcriptional suppression.

Edinburgh, Scotland – March 16th, 2023.
Firestoke and RageCure Games are pleased to unveil “Goons: Legends & Mayhem” and reveal that the game is skating its way to PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch in 2023.
Following in the footsteps of titles like Mario Strikers and Windjammers, Goons: Legends & Mayhem brings cartoon brawling action to the sport of hockey, delivering fun multiplayer matches where outrageous special abilities are key to your goal of getting the puck into the net.
Supporting 1-6 players, Goons: Legends & Mayhem is a 3 vs 3 hockey action game with a variety of PvE and PvP modes, including a full story campaign. Players can choose from one of eight characters divided into 3 classes – the attack focused sharpshooter, the defense oriented enforcer and the wingman, a wildcard that can either focus on supporting their team, or act as a constant pain in the neck of the opponents.
Each character has their own special ability, including explosive mines, freezing opponents in a cube of ice and teleportation, adding an element of cartoony brawling to this hockey title where teamwork is the key to success.
Goons: Legends & Mayhem story campaign takes players on a varied journey across ice rinks nestled in forests, to floating ice rinks sailing the sea on pirate ships as they try to stop the Great Mascoteer’s mission to ruin hockey for everyone. On this adventure, players will encounter bosses to defeat, collectibles, character upgrades, and cool cosmetic unlockables.
Alongside the fun hockey gameplay, class-based characters and chaotic brawling abilities, even more depth is added by six environments for you to play with, each of which has its own special mechanics, environmental hazards and a goaltender to defeat.
“Making a game that blends arcade hockey and beat ‘em up action, brings couch co-op nostalgia, compelling online play AND a great single-player campaign, has been far from easy, but that’s what we’re delivering,” said Francis Tremblay, Game Director.
“We can’t wait for you and your friends to get on out onto the ice and try the game on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and PC this year”.
“It’s great to finally be able to announce Goons: Legends & Mayhem,” said Firestoke CEO Paul Farley.
“We knew immediately that this was an ice hockey game like no other with appeal that goes well beyond just hockey fans. It’s rare in gaming that a game not only brings a truly fresh approach to an established genre, but also does so in a way that appeals to both new and established players. Goons does this. It’s been a joy partnering with RageCure games on this title. They are not only huge hockey and gaming fans, but a fun team to work with!”

"Thanks for getting in touch!"
Will and the crew at Step it Up 2007
Step it Up 2007!
Step it Up is a new movement aimed at spurring action to protect the environment. Inspired by Bill McKibben, author of the New York Times bestseller - The End of Nature - several college students formed an organizing hub in Burlington, Vermont to tackle climate issues. The Step it Up web site presents a potent graphic of a school of little fish collectively becoming a big fish with a big voice.
Step it Up 2007 fostered National Day for Climate Action on April 14, resulting in "over 1,400 actions and 847 report-backs" across the country, some at iconic focal points such as the levees of New Orleans. Step it Up reported to EcoMotion that, "All in all, the endeavor was as you said, a wild success, and it's been remarkable witnessing all the crowds joining in this effort."
Step it Up plans to co-promote events and awareness, focusing next on Live Earth, a series of seven concerts planned on seven continents being promoted by Al Gore. Step it Up is also supporting the Campus Climate Challenge, and encouraging citizens to become "climate voters." Step it Up is working with MoveOn.Org's 3.2 million members for a petition demanding 80% carbon cuts by 2050. For more information, see www.Stepitup2007.org
Solar Growing "by the Football Field"
Portugese Installation:After eight months of construction and testing, the 11-megawatt Catavento solar power plant was dedicated on schedule in Portugal. The installation involves 52,000 modules that occupy 150 acres, some 80 football fields of space. The plant uses PowerLight's PowerTracker system that follows the sun's daily path across the sky to generate more electricity than conventional fixed-mounted systems.
Largest Solar Power Plant in North America: On April 23rd SunEdison, Xcel Energy, and Colorado's Governor Bill Ritter will break ground on the largest photovoltaic solar power plant in North America. Located in Alamosa, Colorado, this 8.2 megawatt facility will help Colorado reach its 20% renewable portfolio goal by 2020. (According to EcoMotion member Rio de la Vista, "It's a big step forward for our community!")
The World's Largest Photovoltaic Plant: The juwi Group has received building approval for a 40 MW photovoltaic project in Germany. It will be the world's biggest PV power system. The installation in Saxony in eastern Germany will be about one kilometre wide and approximately two kilometres long, taking more than an hour to walk around. The installation will involve 550,000 thin-film German modules. According to juwi's co-managing director, "The surface area of the installation compares to about 200 soccer fields."
The Home Depot's Eco-Options Labeling
Home Depot has launched an environmental labeling program in the United States that will label nearly 3,000 of its products as environmentally friendly.
Already tested in its Canadian stores, the initiative is expected to include 6,000 products by 2009, representing 12% of the chain's sales. More than 90% of the products in the line are already on Home Depot's shelves. The "Eco Options" brand will identify them as environmentally friendly.
Home Depot introduced Eco Options products in Canada in 2004, where the company has fewer than 200 stores - and so far, sales have been strong. The program may quickly become the largest green labeling program in American retailing, potentially persuading competitors and other major retailers to speed up their own plans.
Home Depot is the country's second-largest retailer and the world's largest buyer of construction material.
The company said it had asked suppliers to produce Eco Option goods at the same prices as conventional merchandise, but realizes that many environmentally sensitive products carry a price premium. Suppliers that qualify for the Eco Options label will be rewarded with preferential treatment - like prominent shelf space in the nearly 2,000 Home Depot stores in the United States and aggressive marketing through weekly newspaper inserts.
So what's in? Products like fluorescent light bulbs, natural insect killers, and organic vegetables and herbs in garden centers. The line also includes new silicone window and door sealants, a glass cleaner that has low levels of volatile organic compounds, and an organic plant food. Merchandise qualifies in two ways, either meeting federal and industry standards, or being tested and validated by Scientific Certification Systems.
New York City's Greenhouse Gas Emissions
New York City produces nearly 1% of the nation's greenhouse gas emissions - an amount that puts it on par with Ireland - according to study commissioned by Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He ordered the study to assess progress in achieving the City's goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030.
The study found that the buildings, subways, buses, cars and decomposition of waste in the city produced a net emission of 58.3 million metric tons of greenhouse gases in 2005. The U.S. total was 7.26 billion metric tons that year.
With 8.2 million people, 2.7% of the country's population, the average New York City resident contributes less than a third of the emissions generated by a typical American. This is largely due to the City's mass transit system. The operation of hundreds of thousands of buildings - which consume electricity, natural gas, fuel oil and steam - contributes 79% of the City's emissions total.
The study found that the City's focus on environmentally friendly initiatives - including alternative fuel vehicles, energy-efficient traffic lights and green buildings - appears to have helped stabilize emissions rates. Emissions were still found to have increased by more than 8% between 1995 and 2005.
Campus Notes: UT Chattanooga Students Green Power
Students at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga voted this past week to raise fees by $10 per semester for the campus to buy energy- efficient "green power" from the Tennessee Valley Authority. Results show that 847 of the 1,180 University of Tennessee at Chattanooga students who voted on the issue approved the proposed fee.
Ayla Callihan, vice president of Ecological Decisions for a Global Environment, the student group that has pushed for the new fee, was pleased with the vote and the process of greening the campus. Callihan said the fee also would pay to expand campus recycling and to install energy-saving light bulbs.

In my last post, I talked about some of the ways that the iPad and social business software (SBS) both had tremendous opportunities to outflank Microsoft's dominance in the desktop document creation and document management space, respectively. Based on the responses to the article, it seems like lots of folks out there are wondering the same things about Microsoft's ability to maintain their dominance in these areas.
But, like any consultant worth their salt, I like to have it both ways, so in this post I want to consider the very real ways that Apple and SBS vendors could fail in their attempts to knock Microsoft out of the game, because their long-term success is far from assured.

Mary Barber’s Six Winged Creature Drawing
There are many wonderful, and sometimes strange things written about in the Scriptures that are almost impossible for us a mere humans to imagine, let alone try to interpret in Ecclesiastical Embroidery. Two of those unusual things are the Seraphim and the Cherubim. Artisans of the past have grappled with these creatures, and provided some interesting interpretations. The powdering designs, dating from the glory days of Opus Anglicanum, give us some wonderful examples of these delightful interpretations of Seraphim and Cherubim.
Last week, I shared an article on a recent purchase of Mary Barber’s Some Drawings of Ancient Embroidery. The above photo is small, but it has several examples of six-winged creatures embroidered at the center of the cope back.
This photo from Pinterest shows an Ancient example that is in delicate condition. Despite that, he still is a charming thing!
The two figures on this vestment are slightly different from each other, but are similar to the drawings in Miss Barber’s book.
One more example also showed up on Pinterest:
The combination of the green orphrey on the red velvet is still stunning today. Once one starts looking for this design motif, it shows up frequently in Opus Anglicanum work. When Mary Barber’s book was published in the late 1800’s, it must have inspired artisan’s of the day to work give these designs a try. Several examples of the designs from Some Drawings of Ancient Embroidery can be found in book The Embroideries at Liverpool Cathdedral. The beauty of these designs is that they can serve as a wonderful training tool, and build new skills. Working with ancient embroideries can also be a wonderful source of design inspiration.
So, keep your eyes open and see when you might next spot these wonderful Six-winged creatures from Mary Barber’s book.

On Wednesday night, the Hi Hat was hosting a Holiday Fiesta fundraiser, which gave me another occasion to spend the night listening to music while contributing to an excellent cause. It was a community organized event, all the funds raised during the night were directly going to the NELA winter shelter for the homeless based in Highland Park, and a raffle was also offering merchandizes from famous musicians like Mac DeMarco, or drum lessons with Marian of La Luz and Patty Schemel, and even a guitar from Bonnie (Death Valley Girls) and Staz (The Paranoyds). There were many other items you could win but I was there to see the bands, especially UK songstress Kate Nash.
Kera and the Lesbians opened the show, and if I have seen them a few times before, I am never tired of their ‘bipolar folk’… this is how Kera describes her music, she is a ball of fire, Jerry Lee Lewis with a guitar, she jumps and crouches, she seduces and winces, she always gives a sort of crazy performance in the most upbeat and joyful sense of the term, and she is simply the most elusive performer you have ever seen. She starts a song with the most delightful Spanish-Hawaii folk lullaby, but before you know it, the exotic vibe of the song freaks out into a succession of caffeinated outbursts, so that you don’t know if she has an episode of madness or euphoria. The erratic music never lands exactly where you would have expected, but the intrepid-impish Kera makes it works, and the result is as multifaceted as the faces she makes during a set. This malicious chaos could represent what youth and joy are and Kera and the Lesbians are simply an act difficult to follow but Kate Nash had the hooks and the platform shoes to do so.
Kate was very cute, even when she screamed in her Christmas-garland-decorated mic. Last night, she was surrounded by an all-female band wearing matching ‘psycho bitch’ tanks, and she played her most convincing rebel punk rock feminist, with a bold delivery and an activist mindset, as she said she was delighted to be involved in such a good cause. I actually was surprised to see her play in such a small club, but this is not the first time it’s happening, as she has played Coachella and the DIY LA venue the Smell a few months apart. I mostly knew her because of her FIDLAR cover and because she sang with them on a song, so, with this in mind, she had to be cool. One thing was certain, she looked totally at ease whether she was rocking her heart out with low bass lines while opening with the song ‘Sister’, or encouraging a sing-along during the cute tune she wrote about her dog, ‘My Little Alien’, or even crashing in the middle of the crowd at the end of her set. She was loud and the rawness of some of the songs was contrasting with the glitter makeup and the cuteness of the scene I thought she belonged to. She sounded very friendly too, as a matter fo fact, people asked for more vocals since the music was so loud that Kate’s voice was a bit muddled in the mix during the first songs… and she said they should start over.
Most of her set was raucous and loud with a visceral delivery, and as she was getting into that riot grrrl spirit, she got very convincing and not once I thought she was trying too hard. Her most quiet and piano-driven songs like ‘Foundations’ had been reworked with roaring bass lines and an aggressive distorted sound. She demonstrated a wild enthusiasm all set long and covered Meredith Brooks’ ‘Bitch’, echoing her top and sweat-pants, before of stripped down and playful version of her own ‘Free My Pussy’… Without having truly listened to her, I was under the impression that Kate Nash was gentle pop, but she definitively was the badass riot feminist to the core, rock trashing the end of her set with a ferocious ‘Under-Estimate the Girl’, rolling her back on the floor as if it was 94′ Seattle.
Then, Meatbodies closed the night with a deafening set, filled with head-banging massive riffs and a dark psychedelia. I had seen them not too long ago, and they are definitively impressive live, they bring an aggressive and complex sound, which goes from sludgy to fast, with roomy instrumentals, many pedal effects and a few wah solos. It’s a rewarding sound if you like the style – they are from the Ty Segall-school but they bring something of their own – the music is a victorious mélange of fuzz and distortion with meaty chunks of a very palpable sound, sometimes morphing into a science-fiction space battle ,… although they are true eardrum fuckers, vocals and hooks do exist, often lost in reverb, in between the gargantuan layers and colossal piles of guitar destructive power.
Once again, it was a good night of music during a usually slow pre-Christmas week.

Limited investigations on metabolic responses to exercise training in female adolescent volleyball athletes exist. The aim of this study was to obtain serum and urine metabolite markers in female adolescent volleyball athletes within 2-week strength-endurance training using a metabolomics approach coupled with biochemical analysis, which would be potential biomarkers for evaluating the physiological state of athletes.
Twelve female adolescent volleyball athletes were recruited for 2-week strength-endurance training. Differential serum and urine metabolic profiles between the pre- and post-training group were obtained on gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and data subsequently underwent orthogonal partial least-squares analysis (OPLS).
Strength-endurance training exerted a significant influence on the athletes' serum and urine metabolic profiles. The changed metabolites were primarily involved in energy metabolism, lipid metabolism and amino acids metabolism. Results support the hypothesis that female athletes displayed an increased propensity to oxidize lipids as the major energy source. Exposure to strength-endurance training also led to a significant increase in cortisol, but a decrease in testosterone, indicating disordered hormone adjustment. Exercise-induced oxidative stress occurred, as was evidenced by the decrease in reduced glutathione, and increases in blood malondialdehyde and oxidized glutathione. Since the muscle damage markers creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase did not show significant changes, the training might not cause cell membrane damage and the athletes did not cross the adaptive injury level.
By measurement of endogenous metabolites, the metabolomics study has the potential to reveal the global physiological changes in response to exercise training.

Analysis: Debates might aid voters, but candidates pass
If a debate in Mississippi's U.S. Senate race to fill out the unexpired term of the retired Thad Cochran had gone off as planned last Thursday at Millsaps College in Jackson, you might be reading more about the event in this space.
But the debate fell apart after appointed Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith said she wouldn't be there. Then top Democratic challenger and former U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy said he wasn't coming if Hyde-Smith wasn't there. Pretty soon, Mississippi Public Broadcasting dropped plans to broadcast the event if only Republican state Sen. Chris McDaniel and Democratic candidate Tobey Bernard Bartee were coming.
Meanwhile, in the state's other U.S. Senate race, Democratic challenger and state Rep. David Baria is holding town halls across the state, challenging incumbent U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker to come face him. Wicker is resolutely ignoring Baria.
So, unless the candidates bump into each other at the Piggly Wiggly in Carthage, it doesn't look there are going to be any debates in either of Mississippi's two U.S. Senate races.
Does it matter?
In presidential campaigns, voters consistently say that debates are much more helpful than candidate advertisements in deciding whom to support. The Pew Research Center, which has surveyed voters after every presidential campaign since 1988, found after the 2016 campaign that 63 percent of voters said presidential debates were very or somewhat helpful in deciding which candidate to vote for. That's about the same as how voters had felt in previous presidential elections.
Certainly, a debate could have a chance of forcing Hyde-Smith to talk about something else besides her unwavering devotion to President Donald Trump. That's important because, considering the historic longevity of Mississippi senators, if Hyde-Smith holds onto the seat to which Gov. Phil Bryant appointed her, she's likely to remain a senator long after Trump has retired.
While Hyde-Smith has an issues section on her website, her platform on a dozen complicated national issues amounts to three or four sentences apiece. Espy also has a list of issues on his website with only a little more detail, although he has fleshed out some of his positions. McDaniel has issued a Contract with Mississippi that has detailed positions, but voters might not know, for example, that he favors a radical overhaul of the federal judiciary that could sharply reduce its powers.
So maybe voters could learn something from a debate.
On the other hand, there's a fair amount of political science research suggesting debates don't have much long-term effect on a candidate's standing with voters. Research also suggests voters may be more influenced by the reaction of their friends and mass media than by what's actually said in the debate.
In the derby to replace Cochran, all four candidates took the stump at the Neshoba County Fair earlier this summer. Wicker did speak at Neshoba, but hasn't faced off with any opponents in debates since winning the seat in a 2008 special election against Democrat and former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove. Cochran went decades without debating. He won election to the Senate in 1978 without meeting Democrat Maurice Dantin and independent Charles Evers face-to-face. Cochran and former Democratic Gov. William Winter did face off in 1984. But that was the last time Cochran ever took the stage with an electoral challenger.
There might be one more chance for Mississippi voters to see all the senatorial candidates. The Mississippi Economic Council touts that all six are on the schedule for its pre-election Hobnob event, set for Nov. 1. But don't get your hopes up. It won't be a debate.
Note: This story has been corrected from its original version to say that U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker did speak at the Neshoba County fair.

Two officers who shot and killed a young woman coming at them with a knife weren’t aware she suffered mental illness, Mesa Police Detective Esteban Flores said at a news briefing Friday.
Another officer was in the process of retrieving a “less lethal option” from a patrol vehicle when Danielle Jacobs, 24, was shot and killed, Flores said.
One of the officers who opened fire was specially trained in crisis intervention.
Besides their service weapons, both officers were equipped with Tasers at the time, which they did not use, Flores said.
The victim's mother said Friday she was trying to make sense of what happened.
"My daughter died for asking for help," Jacobs' mom, Stacia, said Friday.
The shooting happened near Brown and the Red Mountain Freeway in East Mesa at around 11 a.m. after police received multiple calls about a suicidal woman.
[RAW VIDEO: Police briefing on deadly officer-involved shooting]
:Stacia Jacobs said her daughter was not posing a danger to the community.
"That she was in her own place. And regardless of what she was thinking, what she was doing, she wasn't posing a danger to the community. There has to be better way for law enforcement to respond and handle situations."
Flores said officers who were enroute had “no indication she was mentally ill. The only indication was she was going to hurt herself.”
"At that point, when we were responding, we didn't know who she was. Our information was she was going to hurt herself," Flores said.
He added officers had been at the home last year after Jacobs reported she was being harassed over the Internet, Flores said.
In June, Jacobs posted a video that went viral on YouTube. In it, Jacobs is having what she described as a self-harm meltdown while her Rottweiler, Samson, attempted to help her out of it.
[ORIGINAL VIDEO: Click/tap to watch the video Jacobs posted]
The 24-year-old said those meltdowns were due to Asperger's syndrome. She was diagnosed with it in 2013. It is a disorder on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum.
In Thursday's incident, officers were met at the door by the victim's friend, who let them inside.
"Two officers attempted to talk to Danielle through an open door in a hallway they were standing in and Danielle came to the door holding a large chef's-style cutting knife," Flores said. "They told Danielle to drop the knife. She lunged and extended the knife at the officers at a close distance."
Flores said the officer felt threatened and opened fire, killing the young woman.
The two officers have been placed on administrative leave while the investigation continues.
"We express our sympathies to Danielle's family and friends," Flores said. "Whoever she was meant to be, that was taken, her mom said, wiping away tears.She said she will always remember her daughter's "zany sense of humor."

Re-inventing product trial in a post-lockdown world
of Total Sales
Product trial is the most important part of the in store-purchasing journey for make-up. In a post-lockdown world, one key challenge emerged: how can we re-invent the trial experience to ensure consumers can test the products in store without posing any health concerns?
Partnering with COTY, who have beauty brands like Bourjois, MaxFactor and Rimmel, Snapchat created 17 unique Lens experiences bringing to life different products using AR. Making it easier than ever to try on mascara, foundation or lipstick. Snap codes were applied to their respective products in store and all a future customer had to do to “try it on” was to scan!
The AR experience was very successful where 18%2 of the total sales came from customers who used the AR lens. The conversion rate was high with 62%2 of those using the AR lens ending up buying the product. The activity also saw scale with over 350K1 reached within its first 3 months thanks to people using and sharing their AR experience and saw high engagement with an average of 218 seconds1 playtime.
"For us at Coty it was crucial to continue to adapt and respond to the challenges of Covid-19 in order to deliver the best experience to our audiences, online and in-store. Reimagining the in-store trial experience was key, and in Snapchat we found a partner with the agility and innovation spirit needed in order to bring our project to reality and continue to deliver amazing beauty experiences to our customers in the safest way possible. We are delighted with the results and the response it has generated and are looking forward to expanding this partnership further.”

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO/AP) — The head of a nonprofit says none of the children aboard a bus taking them to a Head Start program was seriously hurt when a car crashed head-on into the bus Monday morning. In all, 16 people were injured in the crash.
According to the state patrol, a Kia Soul was traveling westbound on Highway 212 east of Granite Falls when it crossed the center line of the roadway and struck a school bus, which was carrying 11 young children – ages 6 and under – and three adults.
All of the school bus occupants were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Jason Carlson, CEO of the Tri-Valley Opportunity Council, says all were released right away except for one child who was held until 1 p.m.
Carlson says all of the children were from migrant families and were on their way to a Head Start program in Danube when it happened.
The driver of the Kia, identified as Anthony Blue, 33, of Granite Falls, suffered non-life threatening injuries. His passenger was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis.

THE BERLIN-BRANDENBURG CITY-REGION FOOD SYSTEM.
Berlin has a diverse food system catering from global sources for the needs of a multicultural population and 500,000 daily visitors. The Berlin-Brandenburg city-region is one of Europe's largest markets for organic food.
However, access to healthy and sustainable food for disadvantaged groups is a concern. Food poverty is not being monitored and there is little engagement and inclusion of groups that are marginalised due to their socio-economic or ethnic background. According to Eurostat data (2022), a total of 22 % of Germany's lower-income population cannot afford a wholesome meal every other day.
BUILDING ON SUCCESSFUL FOOD INITIATIVES.
Action taken in Berlin, in the framework of the FoodCLIC project, will focus on communities affected by food poverty, canvassing the needs and concerns of children living in poverty, migrant communities and low-income neighbourhoods.
These so-called real-life interventions aim at empowering vulnerable groups to participate and shape the food environment they live in.
FoodCLIC takes the next step following various existing initiatives, such as Berlin's innovative network of neighbourhood food hubs (LebensMittelPunkte) and a planned city-regional food transition campus that invites residents to lead on action for improved food democracy, research and innovation.
FOOD POLICY NETWORK
Since 2016, the Berlin Food Policy Council - a civil society association that serves as a networking platform - has constituted the core of Berlin’s Food Policy Network.
The Council sees itself as a coalition that articulates civil society positions and aims to achieve political assertion. It convenes people living in the city-region and members of the wider food network, and works to create appropriate structures for participation in the political and urban planning space.
The Berlin Food Council operates within the wider food network of Berlin-Brandenburg, which consists of the full range of organisations, representing the food service sector, production, catering and hospitality, direct supply and delivery, food start-ups, urban gardening, food education, inhabitants' engagement, dietary prevention programmes, neighbourhood centres, community kitchens, food banks, local administration and various advocacy groups. Berlin also benefits from several active (inter)national food networks that connect people for the purpose of better food choices.
Berlin Food Strategy, aimed at fostering an inclusive food system, substituting food imports with regional products and delivering sustainable, regional, healthy and tasty food for all. The strategy has the following focus areas: school food, canteens and food education; regional value chains; innovations for sustainability; neighbourhood food hubs; food education; food waste; public administration and transparency for consumers.
Free School Lunch for elementary schoolchildren, provided by the Berlin Senate.
Future Capital City, the coalition treaty of the Berlin government (2021-2026) with a commitment to support the city food strategy.
FoodCLIC is a four-year project funded by the EU. The project runs from September 2022 to February 2027. The acronym FoodCLIC stands for 'integrated urban FOOD policies – developing sustainability Co-benefits, spatial Linkages, social Inclusion and sectoral Connections to transform food systems in city-regions


Larry Sanders is not just any doomed Green Party candidate. He is a doomed Green Party candidate that has a political pedigree that now thrives on two continents.
Sanders is the older brother of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, and he is embarking on a long-shot bid to replace former Prime Minister David Cameron in Parliament.
It is a long-shot campaign for a number of reasons, but none bigger than the fact that the Witney constituency is a Conservative Party bastion.
Cameron won it last year with 60% of the vote.
But Larry Sanders doesn’t really expect to win.
“Win or lose, the Green Party doing well would make a bigger impact on the country,” Sanders told ABC News. “And we really need to make this impact because dreadful things are afoot.”
The Green Party currently has one member of parliament out of the 650 seats.
Bernie Sanders endorse his brother in a heartfelt video last week.
“I do not know a heck of a lot about British politics,” Sen. Sanders said in the video. “But I do know a lot about my brother, Larry Sanders.”
Larry Sanders is running on a campaign platform that focuses on reducing income inequality and fixing a massive funding shortfall for the National Health Service.
The election will be held on Oct. 20th.

The first Open Insurance API is now available in the LUXHUB Marketplace
Bâloise Assurances, an already recognized leader of retail digital insurance, and LUXHUB, an award-winning European Open Finance Hub, are announcing today the launch of a joint initiative in the field of Open Insurance. This partnership will enable financial institutions to integrate mortgage insurance quotes directly within their core banking systems. The Bâloise Open Insurance API (Application Programming Interface) is now available in the LUXHUB Marketplace.
As is the case with Open Banking, Open Insurance seeks first and foremost to provide added value services to both partners and the end users. This is primarily achieved through improved user interface, data-driven customization and more seamless integrations with third-party platforms.
In concrete terms, Bâloise’s Open Insurance API will enable client banks to embed real-time, tailored mortgage insurance quotes directly into their core banking systems – all in just a few clicks – with access, testing and integration taking place within LUXHUB’s established Marketplace. Now listed within LUXHUB’s Open Finance Marketplace, Bâloise’s Open Insurance API is easily accessible, with comprehensive commercial and technical documentation, as well as Sandbox access, freely available to the public.
With the IT complexity having been effectively removed, the only limit for interested partners is the imagination. Everyone, from CTOs to business development managers, can be free to experiment with the APIs and to conceptualize added value services specific to the profile of multiple end users.
Xavier ROBLIN, Head of Corporate Development & International Relations at Bâloise Assurances Luxembourg, explains: ‘In a world where connectivity is the condition of all successful business models, and where ergonomics and intuitiveness are so important, Bâloise now enables the interconnection of its services directly into the interfaces that bank advisors, and their customers, are already so familiar with.’
‘We have, since our very inception, been convinced about the potential of Open Finance to drive tangible and sizeable impact beyond banking and into the wider financial services sector. Our mantra of ‘innovation imposes collaboration’ is again clearly evidenced, and it is a pleasure to form a partnership with a company so committed to pioneering developments in this direction,’ adds Jacques PÜTZ, CEO of LUXHUB.
A partnership that inaugurates the digitalization of Open Insurance
Bâloise Assurances is proud to be able to further support B2B partners through its ever-broadening expertise in connectivity and APIs. The insurance company is committed to simplifying the lives of its customers through digitalization and, in doing so, optimize the service experience of the end user.
Xavier ROBLIN, one of the key drivers of the initiative adds: ‘It is the beginning of a fantastic journey and we very much intend to extend the scope of our products, the breadth of our services, and the number of partner banks, both in Luxembourg and beyond.’
LUXHUB has always been firmly committed to enhancing the potential of ‘open innovation’ across multiple sectors, through collaborative endeavor. And it is this shared vision that served to catalyze a combined propulsion towards Open Insurance in Luxembourg.
LUXHUB emerged from the combined vision of four major Luxembourgish banks – Banque Raiffeisen, BGL BNP Paribas, POST Luxembourg and SPUERKEESS – to become a key catalyst of the European financial industry’s evolution towards Open Finance.
Built on compliance; driven by innovation – although LUXHUB’s initial objective was to provide an efficient and effec tive PSD2 compliance product for financial institutions in Luxembourg and throughout Europe, the award-winning FinTech has always harbored ambitions far beyond this.
Through innovation and collaboration, LUXHUB has already grown into Europe’s 2nd largest Open Finance Hub.
Bâloise Luxembourg has been present in Luxembourg since 1890 and, since then, it has been firmly embedded in the country’s economic landscape and society. It is part of the Swiss Baloise Group, which is also present in Belgium, Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. Bâloise Luxembourg meets the needs of its private and institutional customers for property and casualty insurance and for pensions and savings. It also offers pension and investment services across borders in many European Union countries. Its ambition: to make insurance simple, intuitive and humane, by continuous improvement of its offering of products, services, communications and processes. In short,
Bâloise aims to become the first choice for everyone who wants to feel simply safe.
