Other revered living legends in this batch are NY/HC leading lights SICK OF IT ALL formed in 1986. More than three decades in the making, the New Yorkers show no signs of slowing down, getting soft, or toning down their stand-proud mentality on new album, Last Act of Defiance. The band still spits out anthems of heartful, no-holds-barred hardcore like on day one with live gigs full of unchained energy!
Veterans of NOLA sound mixing southern rock, blues riffs and hardcore punk EYEHATEGOD are one of the most reputable and distinctive bands ever, even defining a brand new genre now known as sludge in the past.
Other veterans formed in 1987 this time in Sweden and quickly became one of the most creative death metal bands, pushed limits of the contemporary sound and grew beyond themselves. Later on THERION released Theli, which would be the ultimate breakthrough for the band. With the record THERION turned towards a more opera-like, progressive and even orchestral sound which made them famous through the world. And now they're coming to Brutal Assault with a special Theli show!

The final addition on the list is the mysterious producer known as GOST, who embodies the character of Baalberith on his propulsive synthwave solo project that is channeling his fascination with the occult, John Carpenter and 80s slasher flicks. With its haunting atmospherics and aesthetics influenced by the blackest corners of the metal world his music quickly garnered GOST a loyal following within the rock and metal community worldwide.

Maya Angelou is one of the most influential figures in American history. She was not only a writer but also a civil rights activist, poet, and performer. Her work has had a significant impact on American culture and society, and her legacy continues to inspire people around the world.
Maya Angelou was born Marguerite Annie Johnson on April 4, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she and her brother were sent to live with their grandparents in rural Arkansas. There, she experienced racism and discrimination firsthand.
Despite the challenges she faced, Angelou found solace in literature and began writing at an early age. She went on to become a prolific writer, publishing several books of poetry, autobiographical works, and essays.
Civil Rights Activism
Angelou was deeply involved in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. She worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and other prominent activists to fight against segregation and racial inequality.
Her most famous work related to civil rights is her autobiography “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.” The book describes her experiences growing up as a black woman in the South during a time of intense racism and discrimination.
Angelou’s literary career spanned over five decades. She published seven autobiographies that chronicled her life experiences as well as numerous poetry collections, essays, and plays.
- Some of her most famous works include:
- “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” (1969)
- “And Still I Rise” (1978)
- “Phenomenal Woman” (1978)
- “On the Pulse of Morning” (1993)
Maya Angelou’s impact on American literature and culture cannot be overstated. Her work has inspired countless people around the world and continues to be studied in schools and universities.
She received numerous awards and honors throughout her lifetime, including:
- The Presidential Medal of Freedom (2010)
- The National Medal of Arts (2000)
- The Langston Hughes Medal (1991)
Maya Angelou’s contributions to American history are immeasurable. Her work as a writer, civil rights activist, and performer helped to break down barriers and pave the way for future generations. We should all strive to emulate her courage, resilience, and commitment to justice and equality.

But a Scots amateur astronomer will be there recording every second to bring home 360-degree footage for Scots to experience the wonder of the total solar eclipse as it unfolds on 21 August.
Steven Gray, a former printer, is in Carbondale, Illinois – the best place to film the eclipse’s two minutes and 40 seconds of darkness “totality” – as part of a six-week fully funded 2017 Winston Churchill Memorial Travelling Fellowship during which he will talk to US astronomers and visit leading planetariums.
The total solar eclipse, the first in almost 100 years, will see the moon pass in front of the sun, casting a shadow on the Earth’s surface beginning near Lincoln City, Oregon, and ending near Charleston, South Carolina.
The path of this shadow, also known as the “path of totality” will plunge those regions into near darkness.
In Edinburgh, a tiny fraction of the sun will be hidden at 7.58pm.
Gray, from Winchburgh, West Lothian, quit his printing job to set up Cosmos Planetarium, a six-metre 360-degree multimedia mobile planetarium, with his business partner James Green in 2014.
They take their mobile planetarium across Scotland giving virtual tours of the universe and also showing 360-degree full-dome movies on subjects such as the last moon walk and the hunt for dark matter which people can enjoy through virtual reality headsets.
“In March 2015 we took eclipse glasses in for the children at Kirkliston Primary School in West Lothian to see a partial solar eclipse. The reaction of the kids was fantastic: they were squealing with delight,” Gray said.
“I told the interview panel for the Churchill Fellowship about it and how I’d been thinking of how I could replicate that magic for everyone.
“To be just someone with a telescope and be here doing this is incredible.”
Professor John Brown, Astronomer Royal for Scotland, said: “I’ll be crossing my fingers for Steven and hope it’s clear along the path for filming so he can bring the glory and excitement of a total eclipse home to Scotland and give everyone hands-on experience from someone who was actually there.”
Julia Weston, chief executive of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust, which awards up to 150 fellowships annually, said: “Steven’s project demonstrates how inspirational a Churchill Fellowship can be. Using a 360-degree camera, he will create a spectacular record of the first total solar eclipse visible across the entire United States for nearly 100 years. His film will capture all the drama and excitement of this momentous event.
“We hope Steven’s film will encourage great interest in astronomy and the natural world among young people, and indeed everyone who sees it, and help to inspire the next generation of scientists.”

Consolidated PR is an excellent fit alongside our other communications teams and does exceptional work for an amazing list of clients.”
Nick Clark, MD of Consolidated PR said: “We believe the future of communications is integrated and international and by joining Four we are opening up those opportunities for our clients and people. The Board has unanimously voted to recommend this future to shareholders.”
Upon completion Consolidated PR would initially retain its brand whilst the companies plan for the future. Consolidated PR’s London staff would move to Four’s offices in London Bridge.
Four Communications Group is now one of the leading independent agencies in the UK and the Gulf. The Group has had a track record of successful acquisitions including bgb, Colman Getty and Kinross+Render as well as strong organic growth over the last three years. The Group posted record results for 2013 and is on track for further significant organic bottom line growth by the end of 2014. The Group has grown from seven to 165 staff (before Consolidated PR) since its launch in 2001.

A: If you use an eye chart, use one with a 16-inch cord to ensure the testing distance is maintained because children will attempt to move closer to the chart. Move to the higher line and ask the child to identify each optotype on each line until the child misses three.Q: Thank You Kay, we do follow the new guidelines of not using the E chart. Block's presentation included the "E" chart as a method to screen illiterate students. I'm still confused as to how to do near vision testing. The last line where the child correctly identified the majority of optotypes is the visual acuity measurement for that eye.According to Ballotpedia He stated that he would repeal Obamacare, reduce barriers to the interstate sale of health insurance, institute a full tax deduction for insurance premium payments for individuals, make Health Saving Accounts inheritable, require price transparency, block-grant Medicaid to the states, and allow for more overseas drug providers through lowered regulatory barriers. healthcare system relative to those of other countries.Trump added that enforcing immigration laws could reduce healthcare costs. had the highest health care costs relative to the size of the economy (GDP) in the world, with an estimated 50.2 million citizens (approximately 16% of the September 2011 estimated population of 312 million) without insurance coverage.

Premier Li Keqiang welcomed Intel and other foreign enterprises to expand their investment in China during a visit to the company’s Dalian plant in Liaoning province.
The Premier visited the plant’s smart workshops, transmission electron microscopy laboratory, and the phase II factory, which is under construction. He was told that the Dalian plant is a “model of efficiency” in the global system of Intel Corp.
Premier Li said the Dalian plant’s outstanding performance shows a great return on investment in China. China is still the best destination for global investment, said the Premier.
Two vice presidents from Intel’s global operations accompanied the Premier on his visit. One said the Intel staff regards Premier Li as the founder of Intel Dalian Plant because he hosted the groundbreaking ceremony for the plant 10 years ago. To this the Premier said, “We are all witnesses to the process defined by history.”

There’s times in your career where you must remain professional at all times and somewhat hold back, believe me this is hard especially working in the Music Industry. But Tuesday night at the wonderful venue Oslo in Hackney was a time where I left my professionalism at home and my inner fan girl came out…
Based in Nashville, Tennessee Mona are the cool rockers who don the slick, edgy music you should all be listening to. Mona’s self titled debut album was released in 2011 which introduced us to the songs we’d never forget and would sing with all our hearts; “Shooting The Moon”, “Lean In To The Fall” and “Teenagers'”. Two years later Mona released “Torches & Pitchforks”, though promising and has some great tracks such as “Cross The Line” and “Goons (Baby, I Need It all)” the reception wasn’t justified and didn’t quite meet the demands that the first album did. Late 2016, Mona released an exciting and breath-taking EP “In The Middle” which is the title of one of the pinnacle tracks. This EP is a huge success for Mona and they deserve every ounce of gratitude for it, “In The Middle” consists of 6 thought provoking and meaningful tracks that will stay with you. Highlights of the EP are obviously “In The Middle” but one song that really got me in the gut is “Us & Them”. It’s very rare but quite beautiful when a song becomes an obsession and this EP is filled with them.
First seeing Mona 6 years ago in the small city Coventry it was heart warming to see them headline a London show, back then when I was just a young teenager I remember it being one of the best nights of my life- all thanks to Mona. Now a professional in the Industry, Mona recreated this memory and heightened it by a 1000. Mona are the type of band you NEED to see live, their stage presence and connection with the crowd is relaxing and comfortable, rather than silent and awkward. The connection between the members is heart-warming and you know you’re having a great time with them and it’s one big party filled with smiles and sweat. Nick Brown’s vocals are another factor why you NEED to see Mona live, obviously listening to their music his voice is on another level reaching crazy highs and epic lengths; Brown’s talent is fantastic and seeing him perform live supplies that. To add, being the fantastic frontman one can be, he races into the crowd with constant gratitude and communication, whilst guitarist Jordan Young and Alex Lindsey’s stage presence and chemistry oozes fun and silliness.
Performing to a boisterous, slightly rowdy but happy crowd Mona connect over song requests and chants to “Goons (Baby, I Need It All) leading to a beautiful participation for “Lean Into The Fall” which leaves echoes in the venue. Mona perform a lengthy set but it still doesn’t feel long enough, departing the stage not once but twice the band come together one final time for an epic encore. Name one band who does two encores? Another reason why Mona are the band you NEED to see live. With all this excitement and fantastic creation of ecstatic memories it surprises me Mona are headlining a medium venue in Hackney rather than the O2 Brixton in South London. Come to think of it, the intimate experience of Mona is somewhat more special and I feel honoured to have seen Mona live.

If you haven’t heard of Queen’s Troubadour yet, well – now is time to check them out. This five piece band tout themselves as ‘Soultronica’ – jazz fusion and soul imbued rock, who bring a special kind of emotion to performances. We checked out the video for their live appearance Live In The Attic to get a sense of what they were all about.
Right from the beginning, the velvety tones of the lead singer had us hooked – it’s like being taken on a magic carpet ride of melody, tantalised by soulful tones that hit all the right notes. Just as we’d become thoroughly seduced, the drums started, and the melodies were combining in bass and guitar ecstasy, all pulled together with the threads of that wonderful jazz-esque voice. By the second verse the song has settled into a comfortable groove, like slipping on a knitted jumper and being enveloped by warmth. The whole track rolled over us with a silky joy, ending with a fabulous guitar riff that had moving our shoulders, right until the burst of jazz scatting at the end. A great Sunday afternoon song – we’ll definitely be seeking out more.

Who does’t like a bit of power pop? Even you haters out there to profess to detest the genre have a secret bone in their bodies that likes the combination of strong melodies, clear vocals and crisp harmonies. And come on, who can’t have said they’ve loved rocking out to a solid guitar rift once in a while?
Power Pop and Americana is once more gripping the scene, and one of our favourite current standard bearers for the movement is Lannie Flowers. ‘Combining diverse influences such as British invasion, punk rock and glam rock, Lannie puts forth guitar driven melodies that are at once fresh yet familiar.’
And he should know his way around a guitar, having been obsessed with the instrument since he was 12…

Browsing Peer Reviewed Scientific Papers by Subject "aquaculture and wild Atlantic salmon"
Now showing items 1-1 of 1
Inferring marine distribution of Canadian and Irish Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in the North Atlantic from tissue concentrations of bio-accumulated Caesium 137(Oxford University Press, 2007)Atlantic salmon returning from marine migrations to eastern Canada and western Ireland during 2002 and 2003 were analysed for tissue concentrations of bio-accumulated caesium 137 (137Cs). Salmon from Canadian and Irish waters demonstrated concentrations (0.20 ± 0.14 Bq kg-1 and 0.19 ± 0.09 Bq kg-1, mean ± s.d., respectively) suggesting similar oceanic feeding distributions during migration. Canadian aquaculture escapees had a similar mean tissue concentration (0.28 ± 0.22 Bq kg-1), suggesting migration with wild salmon. However, significantly higher concentrations in 1-sea-winter (1SW) escapees (0.43 ± 0.25 Bq kg-1) may alternatively suggest feeding within local estuaries. High concentrations in some Canadian 1SW salmon indicated trans-Atlantic migration. Low concentrations of Canadian multi-sea-winter (MSW) salmon suggested a feeding distribution in the Labrador and Irminger Seas before homeward migration, because those regions have the lowest surface water 137Cs levels. Estimates of wild Canadian and Irish salmon feeding east of the Faroes (~8oW) were 14.2% and 10.0% (1SW, 24.7% and 11.5%; MSW, 2.9% and 0.0%), respectively. We propose that most anadromous North Atlantic salmon utilize the North Atlantic Gyre for marine migration and should be classified as a single trans-Atlantic straddling stock.

Kate needs our book help! Okay that ending scene that she mentioned after the spoiler alerts below…is totally something I’ve read before (either in the Tristan & Danika series) or was it in Samantha Towle’s “The Storm” series?
I’m getting all my rock star romance memories mixed up.
There’s a book I have been searching for for sooo long now and I’m at my wits end. I read it about three or four years ago and now I cant remember the title and can’t find it anywhere! I thought maybe you could help me.


2014 Buick Regal Review
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating:
What's New for 2014
Buick characterizes its 2014 Regal as a "dynamic midsize sedan," and compares it to the Acura TL, Audi A4 and Volkswagen CC. Thanks to a new all-wheel drive option, more power from the standard 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and revised suspension tuning, those comparisons are more credible for 2014. Riding a solid platform from Opel (GM's European subsidiary), the updated Regal has a distinct import character in its feel and road manners, particularly in the sporty GS. For 2014, the Regal comes in three models (base, standard and GS), the first two of which offer three trim levels. The base Regal engine is a 182-horsepower eAssist mild hybrid, whereas the standard and GS operate with 259 horsepower from a new version of its 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo.
You'll Like This Car If...
If you're looking for a blend of sophisticated styling and surprising agility, and you like making a slightly unexpected choice, you might find the 2014 Buick Regal to be something of a delightful sleeper among sporty midsize sedans.
You May Not Like This Car If...
While the 2014 Regal's freshened styling is sleek and the car drives with the refinement we associate with imports, that Buick badge may not project the kind of image you associate with established midsize sports sedans.
For 2014, the Regal gets freshened front and rear styling, updated interiors, enhanced connectivity and infotainment, new safety features, a new version of the standard 2.0-liter turbocharged engines, a new electric power steering system, and the addition of an all-wheel-drive option.
Driving the Regal
The 2014 Regal has three distinct personalities: the eAssist mild hybrid, with tepid performance and strong fuel economy; the standard Regal, its suspension tuned more for comfort than athleticism; and...
the Regal GS, whose sleek sheet metal disguises a surprisingly agile sports sedan. New suspension components and a new electric power steering system give the 2014 Regals sharper responses, particularly in the GS. The standard Regal and the Regal GS share the same 259-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, new for 2014. Throttle response is instantaneous and the GS offers presets that firm the suspension and alter shift programming in the 6-speed automatic transmission. There's still a 6-speed manual for 2014, but it's limited to the front-drive GS. All-wheel drive Regals deliver sure-footed grip in hard cornering, and help keep cornering attitudes level. While ride quality is firmer in the GS, all the Regals are smooth operators, as well as exceptionally quiet.
NEW 2.0-LITER TURBOCHARGED 4-CYLINDER ENGINE
An evolution of the previous 2.0-liter turbo, the new engine propels both the Regal and Regal GS. Horsepower is down slightly from the previous GS, but with its fat torque curve, smooth operation, ready response, and improved fuel economy the new engine ranks with the best in class.
New for 2014 and limited to the Regal GS, this optional Haldex system, which incorporates an electronic limited-slip differential, involves two clutches, one to transfer power front-to-rear (up to 100 percent), another apportioning power side to side between the rear wheels contingent on available traction.
2014 Buick Regal Details
This is where premium-car credentials really count, and the Regal scores well. Upgraded for 2014, the design and materials are first-rate, with read-at-a-glance instrumentation in a new display, a user-friendly navigation system (optional), and a steering-wheel-mounted thumb wheel for scrolling through function menus. The 2nd-generation IntelliLink system provides improved infotainment and connectivity, and the number of switches and buttons has been reduced from 17 to seven. If the 2014 Regal's interior rates a demerit, it's for slightly restrictive rear-seat headroom. The sleek roofline means anyone over 6-feet tall will likely have his head against the headliner.
Buick's signature waterfall grille has been updated for 2014, and the front and rear fascias updated, highlighted by LED displays. Aside from those changes, plus new wheel patterns and colors, the Regal's styling is otherwise unchanged. However, the 2014 Regal sedan continues to have a striking and sophisticated presence on the road. Based on GM's European Opel Insignia, the 2014 Regal has a sleek profile, and its fast roofline and clean lines are both elegant and distinctive. The wheels are pushed to the car's outer corners, lending an athletic look, especially in the sporty GS, with its 19-inch wheels.
Inside the 2014 Buick Regal you'll find leather upholstery, a 12-way adjustable power driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, an 8-inch color touch screen with Buick's IntelliLink infotainment system, a rearview back-up camera, Bluetooth and a 7-speaker audio system with USB port. A 259-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is standard, sending power to the 17-inch front wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission (with tap-up/tap-down shifting). Active safety features include GM's StabiliTrak stability control, traction control, and antilock brakes with brake assist.
Aside from all-wheel drive, the 2014 Buick Regal options are mostly grouped into packages: Premium I (included with the eAssist mild hybrid) and Premium II. (The GS is considered its own trim level). Among the many available options in the groups are a 9-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system, a hard-drive-based navigation system, rear parking assist, an 8-way power adjustable passenger's seat, power sunroof, 18-inch alloy wheels (20 on the GS), E-Z Key push-button start, HID headlights and a 120-volt outlet. Side blind-spot alert, lane-change alert, lane-departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control are also available.
Under the Hood
The Regal was the first Buick to be offered exclusively with 4-cylinder engines. For 2014, a new version of Buick's turbocharged 4-cylinder becomes the standard engine. Output ratings are the same for both Regal and Regal GS, with a fatter torque curve and improved fuel economy ratings. The 2.4-liter 4-cylinder with mild-hybrid eAssist continues to be the mpg champ. Regenerative braking, a dual-function generator/motor and a lithium-ion battery pack help power the car's electrical systems and offer a slight boost under acceleration. Fuel efficiency is the big payoff, with EPA city/highway figures of 25/36 mpg. A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard for all Regal engines. The 2014 Regal continues to offer a 6-speed manual gearbox with the turbocharged engine, but it's limited to the front-drive GS model.
182 horsepower @ 6,700 rpm
172 lb-ft of torque @ 4,900 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 25/36 mpg (eAssist mild hybrid)
2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4
259 horsepower @ 5,300 rpm
295 lb-ft of torque @ 3000-4000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 21/30 mpg (front-wheel drive), 19/27 mpg (all-wheel drive)
2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 (Regal GS)
259 horsepower @ 5,300 rpm
295 lb-ft of torque @ 2500-4000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/31 mpg (manual), 21/30 mpg (automatic), 19/27 (all-wheel drive, automatic)

/PRNewswire/ -- Gale, part of Cengage Learning and a leading publisher of research and reference resources for libraries, schools and businesses, and Library Journal/School Library Journal magazines today announced Librareo...


In one of David Wojnarowicz’s most famous images, he shows himself as a young boy, superimposed on two columns of text. He stares at us lankily from the middle of the page, with the oversized ears and slight buck-teeth of youth, puppy-soft eyes, tiny snub nose. The bold sans-serif contrasts with the grainy warmth of the image—a primary school photo, posed yet vulnerable. The boy is all of us as children—shy smile, buttoned-up shirt. The text reads: “One day this kid will do something that causes men who wear the uniforms of priests and rabbis, men who inhabit certain stone buildings, to call for his death. […] He will be subject to loss of home, civil rights, jobs, and all conceivable freedoms.” Untitled (One Day This Kid…) is Wojnarowicz’s indictment of how the places of power rob gay people of the simple joy of existence at every turn.
A law prohibiting the “promotion” of homosexuality in art that had received federal funding passed in 1988. “We have got to call a spade a spade,” Senator Helms said, “and a perverted human being a perverted human being.” One of the reasons Aids ravaged the gay community to the extent that it did—the inescapable scale of the horror that saw gay men watch their lovers, brothers and friends die around them—was down to concerted efforts by those in power who equated raising awareness of the crisis with promoting queerness. It’s tempting to think that the art world would take a more liberal approach, that the work of some of the most celebrated artists of the era would championed, rather than censured. But the complex web of funding processes, internal politics and conservative board members ensured that openly gay artists who challenged heteronormative ideals were denied resources and platforms to display their art, no matter their stature in the industry.
In 1989, New York gallery Artists Space hosted Against Our Vanishing, a group show curated by Wojnarowicz’s friend and fellow artist, Nan Goldin. In response to Wojnarowicz’s contribution to the catalogue, an essay that accused Cardinal O’Connor of keeping sex education messages from public spaces and thus directly contributing to the Aids epidemic, the National Endowment for the Arts threatened to withdraw their funding for the show. Eventually, the NEA struck a deal on the basis that the catalogue containing the essay would not receive any funding.
Wojnarowicz did not attend the show. He said, “I don’t feel that civil or constitutional rights are a worthy trade for money.” In 2010, almost twenty years after he had died of Aids-related causes, a display of Wojnarowicz’s A Fire in My Belly—a short film in which ants swarm like a flowing, shining sea, over a crucifix—was removed from the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC after the threat of reduced federal funding.
That same year in 1989, Robert Mapplethorpe‘s touring exhibition, The Perfect Moment, was due to show at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in DC. It was only months after his death from complications arising from Aids. After seeing the works—and particularly concerned about the gay and fetish elements—the gallery cancelled the exhibition. A year later, the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati and its director were charged with obscenity for exhibiting the works. They were later acquitted.
“The strange circumstances of our present social climate lend themselves well to these restagings”
It seems particularly gratifying, then, that recent retrospectives of artists such as Wojnarowicz at the Whitney, Mapplethorpe at the Guggenheim, Jarman at the Irish Museum of Modern Art and Haring at Tate Liverpool have emerged as blockbuster exhibitions. The strange circumstances of our present social climate lend themselves well to these restagings: LGBTQ rights are more advanced than they’ve ever been, accepted more widely in both a legal and societal context; HIV/Aids, once an effective death sentence, has been transformed through medical innovation and public health campaigns into a manageable and treatable illness, with the increasingly widespread availability of PrEP allowing gay men to live without the omnipresent spectre of the disease.
It’s also a period of increased conservatism, with cuts to both the arts and social programmes affecting LGBTQ people happening on both sides of the Atlantic. There is a growing far-right presence and increased instances of hate-crimes against LGBTQ people, particularly trans and gender non-conforming people.
With these complex circumstances as a backdrop, it’s fitting that we would turn to artists who also navigated extreme periods of social change for advice, interpretation and analysis of our current situation. In an essay on the Wojnarowicz show, Apollo magazine intoned that his “art is as urgent now as it was in the 1980s […] It feels absolutely of the present moment.”
Jarman and Wojnarowicz’s writing, long out of print, has recently been reissued with introductions by award-winning writers, freed from the constriction of “art-writing” to be marketed towards a wider audience. Nineteen years after the creation of (One Day This Kid…), it finally feels like the future that seemed so concrete for child-Wojnarowicz is no longer immutable; that there is hope, acceptance, even celebration waiting for him.
But as welcome as these headline exhibitions may be, there remains something that feels, if not off-putting, then not-quite-right about the desire of these major institutions to include these artists. While Wojnarowicz at the Whitney has received praise, the exhibition also drew protests by members of ACT UP (Aids Coalition to Unleash Power), the hugely influential Aids activist movement Wojnarowicz himself was a vital component of. The group accused the Whitney of historicizing the Aids crisis, and their choice to focus on the disease in the past rather than addressing the impact it continues to have. Frieze also criticized the Whitney’s handling of the subject; with a piece titled “Why Has the Whitney Tried to Sanitize David Wojnarowicz?” Following the protests, the museum added an adhesive label acknowledging the group’s ongoing contributions.
The Whitney controversy suggests that the reason for these retrospectives is not to present accurate representations of the artists, but rather to smooth them over; to sand the edges down and fill in the cracks where the true radicality of their work is exposed. On Mapplethorpe’s output, Architectural Digest noted that “In October 2017, an auction record was set as his Self-Portrait 1988 sold for around $700,000 in London […] a million-dollar Mapplethorpe is right around the corner.” Are these exhibitions genuine celebrations of the contributions of artists whose lives were taken too early? Or is their function to make gay artists more palatable to the art market, so that their works might fetch larger sums at auction?
“Are these exhibitions genuine celebrations? Or is their function to make gay artists more palatable to the art market?”
It is rare for major galleries with international reputations to take risks. Are they merely banking on the pre-established audiences of the artists that they’re featuring? Despite—and sometimes because of—the censorship of the seminal eighties gay artists, Wojnarowicz, Mapplethorpe, Haring and Jarman are now close to being household names, with their untimely deaths allowing for an almost mythological status around their work. These institutions have not fought the status quo; rather, they are now recognizing artists who have already become part of the artistic canon.
It is also important to note that Jarman, Wojnarowicz, Haring and Mapplethorpe were all white, all cis and all men. In a recent talk at London’s ICA, queer artist and performer Travis Alabanza discussed how difficult it is for queer people of colour to break into the arts. In a system that frequently allows space for only one person from a marginalized background to be featured in the gallery system at a time, there is little room allowed for greater change. Where are the major exhibitions for artists such as Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings, Evan Ifekoya and Wu Tsang? It seems as though nurturing the future of queer art, and letting go of the conservatism that saw exhibitions be cancelled in the 1980s, may still be too radical for 2019.

Rough Around the Edges…literally
Allowing for a bit of self reflection on what was, is and what will be has been things as of late. Not only do we need to do a self-check every now and then but also self-reflect. We’re not perfect and life is not perfect. As a result we can maybe finally accept ourselves flaws and all. Moreover letting go of things that we can control vs. the things we can’t is what makes us well rounded and acceptable to ourselves and others. The future is somewhat unknown and all I know is the now and thank goodness God takes care of the rest.
In a world of uncertainty how do we know we are doing exactly what we should be doing or have to do or are we just simply doin’ it? Do we have a path that we can see or feel? Let’s stitch a little trust into the handmade while adding a dash of gratitude and humor.…

When most folks think of scuba diving, the first thing that comes to mind is gliding over colorful coral reefs and vast schools of tropical fish, or maybe exploring the decks of a long sunken ship. Many years ago, when I lived in Lake City Florida, I fished the Suwanee River and would occasionally see people diving the many springs that feed the river. I promised myself if I was ever in possession of a dive certification, I would come back and try diving the springs.
25-ish years later, a writer’s conference was drawing me back to the area. Fishing buddy Jim VanPelt and I were headed up for a couple days so I saw my chance. After checking with old friends in the area, I called Scuba Monkey Dive Center, a family run shop catering to open water certified divers, in Alachua. Tim and Tracey Boehnlein opened the full service dive shop 7 years ago and it has become one of the largest in the region offering full gear rentals and sales, certification classes and onsite hydro testing while still maintaining that personal family run feel. After making plans with Tracey over the phone, Jim and I stopped by the shop on Thursday to meet up with Tim and go over the next day’s agenda.
|Scuba Monkey Dive Center|
Scuba Monkey Dive Center is in the heart of spring country and convenient to I75. While checking out the gear, I asked Tim why he chose to open a dive shop in a landlocked town so far away from any coastal diving areas. “I love diving the springs. They are so quiet and peaceful. There is nothing else quite like it” Tim said. We decided to meet up at Troy Springs the next morning for our dive.
|Checking out the latest gear|
Troy Springs State Park is just outside of Branford, about a half hour West of Lake City. We arrived as the park opened and aside from a couple of guys testing out dive gear, we were the only people there. A narrow winding road lead to a small bluff overlooking the springs. Although I have more experience scuba diving than Jim, it was soon apparent that we both needed a little refresher. Tim was patient and informative and soon we were geared up and headed down the path to the entry platform. Troy Spring is a 1st magnitude spring that is over 60 feet deep and has a circular limestone basin over 100 feet in diameter. The cold clear aquifer water runs about 300 feet to the warmer and tannin stained waters of the Suwanee River. The water temperature hovers around 70 degrees, so it took a minute to acclimate.
|Water as clear as an aquarium|
Floating over the center of the spring, I looked down into the green tinted, clear water. The limestone walls formed a steep slope down to the inky blackness below. As we descended I noticed how clean the ledges and floor of the spring was. Other than a log or two, and some natural debris, it looked much like it has for centuries. A few mullet swam by and the occasional turtle would launch across our path from it’s mossy hiding place. The sunlight penetrated the water to illuminate the whole area like a great underwater colosseum. At the bottom of the spring looking up, the surface seemed a mile away. Tim had it right, it was quiet and peaceful.
|Jim ready to dive|
|GoPro still photo by Jim|
|A couple of turtles on the way down|
|That fish was this big!|
Our adventure wasn't quite over. We surfaced and headed over to the spring run. As we floated over exposed limestone bottom passing curious turtles and schools of mullet, something interesting came into view. I quickly recognized the basic frame of a sunken wooden vessel. Turns out this was the river steamboat Madison, owned by James M. Tucker. During the Civil War the Union Navy imposed a blockade of southern ports that gradually eliminated steamboat traffic on coastal rivers. By the fall of 1863, as the fighting got closer to the Suwannee Valley region, Tucker scuttled his ship to prevent it from falling into Union hands. He may have intended to raise his steamboat after the war, but by the time the fighting ended in 1865, scavengers had removed much of the ship's machinery and planking. All that remains today are the ribs and joists.
|The Riverboat Marion|
Back at the truck, Tim, Jim and I talked about the vast numbers of springs in the area. Tim obviously had spent a lot of time learning about and diving the region’s springs. Jim was hooked as well and was discussing a return visit to check out a few other dive spots. As for me, I don't know if I will be back to dive the springs again. It took me 25 years for my 1st time, and I loved it, but there are still so many things left to do. I would encourage anyone who has ever thought about diving one of Florida's beautiful springs to contact Tim and Tracey at www.scubamonkeydivecenter.com .

Bearing the rather embarrassing (for an all-action-hero dog like Gromit) name of ““Dog Rose”– our Gromit has been lovingly created by the amazing botanical painter and illustrator, Ros Franklin, and will hold pride of place in Bristol’s Whiteladies Road outside Tyndale Baptist Church until September 8th.
As you can see from the photo, he features a beautifully painted and very apt wild dog rose entwined around his torso. The painting represented many hours of painstaking, detailed work by Ros and I think reflects well the AC Services’ approach to maintaining and repairing Rational ovens (forgive the obvious plug!)
“Dog Rose” joins 80 other Gromits which were unleashed on the city of Bristol on July 1st and he will be in exotic company. Famous artists and celebrities from across the world have all contributed Gromits, from cartoonist Gerald Scarfe to fashion designer Sir Paul Smith and from Joanna Lumley with her absolutely fabulous, poetry-covered Gromit to Jools Holland and his musical Bumble Boogie Gromit. The Royal Mint has contributed a National Treasure Gromit covered in 10,000 brand new one penny coins, including a specially commissioned Gromit medallion.

I loved the first two books in the Magic New Mexico Series! I was super excited to hear this series by bestselling SciFi Romance author S.E. Smith was chosen for a Kindle Worlds development – and that she asked me to design the covers.
First of all for those not yet familiar with Kindle Worlds – it is a special publication platform where an author is invited by Amazon to start a world, and other authors may then write a story that takes place in the same world and publish it, following the general guidelines for the specific world and theme.
The Magic new Mexico series is a unique Science Fiction Romance series with paranormal elements combined with science fiction. The setting is the quirky extraordinary town of Magic, New Mexico, where the unusual is the norm and normal gets redefined. You will find space ships, witches, werewolves, hunky males and badass heroines all in one book.
The first book in the series by S.E. Smith herself, is called “Touch of Frost”:
“When Star Ranger Frost is sent to Earth on a mission to capture a deadly fugitive, he has no idea he will be the most normal one of the bunch when he lands outside of Magic, New Mexico. To make matters more interesting, when he falls in love with Lacey, a very powerful witch, it opens the door between his world and the residents of Magic. Now the magical town and an alien world have created an exciting and unusual mix for love to happen. What incredible stories can you create when out-of-this-world aliens meet the magical inhabitants of Magic, New Mexico?”
All the exciting books seen above in the banner were released just this first week of May 2016 and already they are all in the Top 100 Kindle Romance World and Science Fiction Romance categories on Amazon.
You can find them on the Kindle Worlds Page here:
Most are also presently in the Kindle Wolrds Romance Bestsellers list:
Personally I cannot wait to read them too! I know the authors worked really hard to bring all these books to perfection.
Thank you to all the authors who allowed me to work on their covers.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: 21-year-old Arya Rajendran hailing from Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram will become the country’s youngest mayor on Monday. A second-year BSc Mathematics student of the All Saints’ College, she was elected from the Thiruvananthapuram municipal corporation on a CPM ticket. On Friday, when news broke on the CPM’s Mayordesignate, young Arya’s modest house at Mudavanmugal was flocked by media persons and party workers.
With maturity and composure that belied her age, Arya spoke about her dreams for the city becoming free of waste menace and a safe place for women. Arya is the daughter of K Rajendran, an electrician and branch committee member of the CPM, and Sreelatha, an LIC agent. She has an elder brother. Quite active in local politics, Arya is a state committee member of the Student Federation of India.
She is also the state president of the Balasangham. Arya says her immediate priorities are to work for the welfare of the people and also to continue her studies.
“During my campaigning, many people, especially women, had asked me to pay equal attention to my studies. I will keep my word,” she said with aplomb. She has missed three of her X’mas examinations and is now preparing to sit for the rest. Among her plans for the corporation is effecting a behaviour change among residents so that they become more concerned about the city’s cleanliness.
“Some people still dump waste on the road. They need to be educated,” she said. Her other priorities include tackling children’s emotional stress due to remote schooling.
“I was born in a Leftist family and had a natural flair for politics,” she said, adding that her father was her first guru in politics. An ardent fan of Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Arya says his role as a crisis manager attracted her the most.

Clinton Public Schools change quarantine protocol
The Clinton Public School District is changing its quarantine protocol as the spring semester begins.
Instead of a 14-day quarantine, there will be a 10-day quarantine for all students and faculty members who have been in close contact with a confirmed positive COVID-19 case, school district officials said.
The quarantine can end at the end of the 10 days for those who have been monitored daily for symptoms and have shown none during that time, school officials said.
A student or faculty member that does show symptoms during quarantine will be on at least a 14-day quarantine and will be encouraged to be tested for COVID-19.
Clinton teachers returned to campus Monday and students resume classes Tuesday.

Health care companies reported mixed vital signs on Monday. Two big managed care players, Humana ( HUM) and Coventry ( CVH), took a healthy bounce after beating second-quarter profit expectations and issuing upbeat forward guidance. But HCA ( HCA) slipped after failing to meet even recently lowered expectations as the company continues to struggle in a particularly tough hospital environment. WellPoint ( WLP) and Anthem ( ATH) also fell due to complications that are now threatening a merger of the two giant health insurers. Humana began the day as the strongest performer of the bunch, jumping 5% to $17.90 at the open after posting second-quarter operating profits of 46 cents a share that beat the consensus estimate by 4 cents. The company also predicted that full-year profits would surpass the current estimate of $1.61 a share and come in at between $1.63 and $1.67 instead. "The benefit of Humana's diversification among multiple lines of business is evidenced in this quarter's record results," stated Humana CEO Michael McCallister. "The continued success we are experiencing with our traditional commercial and government products, combined with favorable results from and growing acceptance of our cutting-edge consumer strategy, are leading to record earnings for 2004." Humana's second-quarter revenue, totaling $3.43 billion, also topped the consensus estimate of $3.36 billion. But the company is now forecasting full-year revenue of $13 billion; that's $110 million shy of current expectations. Goldman Sachs analyst Matthew Borsch spotted other signs of weakness. Specifically, he pointed to Humana's commercial insurance segment -- where both pricing and enrollment are vulnerable -- as an ongoing area of concern. "Humana
has strongly emphasized it is maintaining price discipline, which is leading to attrition within its commercial risk book," Borsch acknowledged. But "while we like strong pricing discipline, we also believe some pricing concessions are unavoidable in this environment."


About This Project
Spotted hyenas are successful carnivores that show the ability to survive in human-dominated areas. However, they can be implicated in human-wildlife conflict via livestock depredation. We will use DNA metabarcoding to assess how hyenas in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area respond to a major increase in livestock abundance. The findings will help promote balanced conservation outcomes for both people and wildlife and improve our understanding of hyena behavioral flexibility.
Ask the ScientistsJoin The Discussion
What is the context of this research?
Spotted hyenas are the most abundant large carnivore in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), a UNESCO World Heritage Site that allows for the cohabitation of humans and wildlife. Over the last 23 years, livestock numbers in NCA have increased leading to higher levels of conflict between Maasai pastoralists and hyenas. During the same period, the abundance of wild prey remained unchanged. It is currently unknown whether the hyena population responded to the increase in livestock numbers and activity by increasing their consumption of livestock. This lack of knowledge impedes the application of policies to mitigate the conflict and reduce the negative perception of the Maasai towards hyenas and other carnivores.
What is the significance of this project?
This project will give us a better understanding of spotted hyena behavioral flexibility in the face of increased anthropogenic pressure. Hyenas play an essential role in the ecosystems they inhabit, as hunters and scavengers, by keeping herbivore populations healthy and preventing the spread of disease. This study will also help to optimize genetic techniques used in the determination of apex predator dietary patterns, paving the way for future related studies on this method. Furthermore, it will help tailor conservation actions to mitigate human-carnivore conflict. Thus, the conservation outcomes of this project are of interest to local communities and authorities as well as scientific circles.
What are the goals of the project?
We aim to establish the diet and dietary preferences of the spotted hyenas in the Ngorongoro Crater during the last 23 years. For this, we will extract DNA from 500 faecal samples collected during this period from our study hyenas. Using DNA metabarcoding we will then establish which prey animals the hyenas consumed. A comparison of the diet over time will reveal whether the hyenas in the Ngorongoro Crater responded to the increase in livestock numbers by preferentially feeding on them. A comparison of the diet of hyenas from clans located closer to livestock areas with that of more distantly located clans will reveal whether hyenas adjust their diet depending on their proximity to pastoralist communities.
This budget is part of a PhD project and the DNA metabarcoding aspect will be an essential component of one of the manuscripts that come out of the project.
The listed budget items cover aspects of the study that take place both in the field and laboratory. All are crucial for the completion of the project: collection of faecal samples in Tanzania, exporting of samples to our labs in Germany, laboratory work in detecting prey DNA.
We have acquired approximately USD 5,500 through an internal grant to help cover part of the costs related to laboratory consumables. Herewith, we seek to raise additional funds not only related to the labwork but also for the transport of samples. Along with the Ngorongoro Hyena Project's internal budget, the funds raised from the internal grant and the Experiment campaign will fully meet our needs and allow us to complete the project. Additional funds for the PhD not related to DNA metabarcoding have been raised from external sources.
The collection of the faecal samples for the analyses has already been completed and almost all samples were transported to the lab facilities in Berlin. Therefore, the project is now focused on PCR optimization, DNA extraction, and getting the prey DNA results in the lab. Afterwards, analyses of spatiotemporal trends in the hyenas' dietary preferences will be the focus. We aim to submit the manuscript in April 2020.

Meet the Team
I am a PhD student at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW) in Berlin, Germany. I have extensive fieldwork experience across several field sites in sub-Saharan Africa and am interested in using behavioral ecology to promote conservation outcomes. The majority of my work has involved large carnivores. My PhD focuses on the adaptability of spotted hyenas to anthropogenic change in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania. The DNA metabarcoding aspect is an important part of my PhD and will form the crux of one of the papers that comes out of the thesis.
I am a volunteer intern at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW) in Berlin, Germany. I've got a MSc in biodiversity management and have several experiences across Southern Africa, mostly with large mammals. My main task in this project is lab work (DNA extraction, PCR and metabarcoding).
I am a senior scientist at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin and head of the Hyena Project in the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. I have been studying the behavioral ecology of spotted hyenas for 23 years using individual-based monitoring and sample collection of all 8 clans of the Ngorongoro hyena population.
I am passionate about mate choice, sexual conflict, predator-prey relationships, proximate and ultimate drivers of key fitness-related traits and processes, the adaptability of group-living carnivores to changes in their environment and human-carnivore coexistence.
Spotted hyenas are fascinating and socially highly competent animals and an ideal species to study questions in these areas of research. The population in the Ngorongoro Crater is of particular interest because of their key role for the well-being of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I have published work in the top peer-reviewed scientific journals (Nature, Nature Communications, Nature Ecology & Evolution, Science Advances, Journal of Animal Ecology, Methods in Ecology & Evolution and others).
I am Post-doctoral research fellow at IZW and at BeGenDiv (see: Affiliations). Mosquitoes are my organism of interest and I have been working on projects relating to mosquito-borne diseases since 2000. Since my PhD was conferred in 2009, my research has focused on degraded DNA; in the form of museum-curated specimens, and more recently, flies and mosquitoes. Using the latter, we have successfully used DNA metabarcoding to non-invasively sample wildlife in Berlin. This same technique will be applied to the Hyena faecal samples.
I am a Brazilian Genomics group leader at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research and the Bioinformatics leader at the Berlin Center for Genomics in Biodiversity Research. My group is specialized in developing new methods involving Genomics and Bioinformatics that can help with Conservation-related questions. We are always looking for new challenges that need our help with Genomics technologies.

Not considered a supreme Van Gogh masterpiece, it still went for $15.4 million. PARIS - One of the few paintings by Vincent Van Gogh still in private hands, "Street Scene in Montmartre", was sold for over 13 million euros Thursday at auction after going on public display for the first time this week, Sotheby's said. The painting -- which emerged after a century spent in the same collection and has not been exhibited in public since it was painted in 1887 -- fetched 13.091 million euros ($15.414 million), Sotheby's said. Reaching well above the estimate of 5-8 million euros, Sotheby's said the sale price was a record for the artist in France. The sale of the painting was the highlight of an auction of 33 works from masters including Degas, Magritte, Modigliani, Klee, Rodin and his muse Camille Claudel sold in an auction live-streamed by Sotheby's in Paris. The painting was reoffered at the end of the sale in Paris after the auction house scrapped its initial sale earlier in ... » Learn More about Rarely seen Paris Van Gogh sells for over 13 mn euros
CAIRO (NYTIMES) - The 193km artificial waterway known as the Suez Canal has been a potential flashpoint for geopolitical conflict since it opened in 1869. Now the canal, a vital international shipping passage, is in the news for a different reason: A 400m-long, Japanese-owned container ship en route from China to Europe has been grounded in the canal for days, blocking more than 100 vessels and sending tremors through the world of maritime commerce. With the rescue mission expected to extend into weeks, the stricken Ever Given is forcing other container ships to take detours around Africa that would add 9,656km to the journey and about US$300,000 (S$404,190) in fuel costs. Here are some basics on the history of the canal, how it operates, how the vessel got stuck and what it means. Q: Where is the Suez Canal? A: The canal is in Egypt, connecting Port Said on the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean via the southern Egyptian city of Suez on the Red Sea.

TOKYO (NYTIMES) - It took six days to prise free a giant container ship that ran aground and clogged the Suez Canal, one of the world's most crucial shipping arteries. It could take years to sort out who will pay for the mess. Cargo companies, insurers, government authorities and a phalanx of lawyers, all with different agendas and potential assessments, will not only need to determine the total damage but also what went wrong. When they eventually finish digging through the morass, the insurers of the ship's Japanese owner are likely to bear the brunt of the financial pain. The costs could add up quickly. There are the repairs for any physical damage to the Ever Given, the quarter-mile-long ship that got stuck in the Suez. There is the bill for the tugboats and front-end loaders that dug the beached vessel out from the mud. The authority that operates the Suez Canal has already said the crisis has cost the Egyptian government up to US$90 million (S$120 million) in lost toll ... » Learn More about Figuring out the costs of Suez Canal blockage may take years
The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) on Thursday said it had signed five project contracts worth P1.98 billion for 2020, which included the construction of irrigation systems and earthfill dams, and acquisition of heavy equipment.

Suspended CBN gov, Emefiele arraigned over possession of illegal firearm
In a stunning turn of events, Godwin Emefiele, the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), was arraigned at Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos.
He is facing charges of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, an issue that has led to much controversy and public attention.
Emefiele’s appearance at the Federal High Court was accompanied by officials from the Department of State Services (DSS).
He was attired in a white flowing robe and carried a Bible, King James Version (KJV), as he stood before Justice Nicholas Oweibo, the vacation judge.
Leading his defense team was Joseph Daudu, a prominent Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
Emefiele pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against him. His defense counsel highlighted the prolonged detention of their client and informed the court that an application for bail had been submitted and served on the prosecution.
Godwin Emefiele was suspended as the CBN governor on June 9, 2023, by President Bola Tinubu.
The following day, the DSS confirmed that Emefiele was in their custody. Subsequently, an Abuja High Court issued an order on July 13, 2023, mandating the DSS to charge Emefiele in court within a week or release him.
In response, the DSS complied and brought the former CBN governor before the Federal High Court in Lagos.
The Federal Government presented two counts of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition against Emefiele.
The charge sheet accused him of possessing a single-barrel shotgun (JOJEFF MAGNUM 8371) without a valid license, a violation of Section 4 of the Firearms Act, Cap F28 Laws of the Federation 2004, and punishable under Section 27 (1b) of the same Act.
Additionally, Emefiele was charged with possessing 123 rounds of live ammunition (cartridges) without the necessary license, contravening Section 8 of the Firearms Act Cap F28 Laws of the Federation 2004 and punishable under Section 27 (1)(b)(il) of the same Act.
Emefiele’s defense counsel sought to have him admitted to bail on self-recognition. However, the court has yet to rule on this matter, leaving the fate of the former CBN governor hanging in the balance.
The arraignment of Godwin Emefiele, the suspended CBN Governor, on charges of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, has sparked a nationwide debate.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the public remains eager for justice and the truth behind the allegations against him.
The future of one of Nigeria’s highest-ranking financial officials hangs in the balance as the court’s decision on bail awaits, and the nation watches closely for the outcome of this high-profile case.
