It’s been said that addiction recovery is a process and not an event. In other words, the addict will need to continue to work on his or her recovery for the rest of his or her life. Family members can help addicts begin that process by staging an intervention and crafting an addiction treatment program with the help of experts, but family members will need to stay committed to that recovery for the long term.
Study after study has shown the importance of family involvement in long-term addiction recovery success. In one such study, published in the Journal of Substance Abuse, family conflicts were associated with high levels of addiction relapse. Family members who, by contrast, stay supportive throughout treatment and provide emotional support can truly help the addict succeed.
Providing this sort of support means staying involved. While the addict is ultimately responsible for doing the heavy lifting and following all of the steps outlined in the aftercare treatment program, the family can still play a key role by:
Tips from an Interventionist
Not using drugs or alcohol in the presence of the addict. If the person is recovering from a gambling addiction, the family should avoid online games. Removing temptation from the addict’s immediate presence is a way to show solidarity.
Providing a listening ear. The addict may need to talk, at length, about the addiction or the addict may want to make amends for past wrongs.
Supporting therapy. Offering to drive the addict to appointments or meeting the addict for coffee after a meeting is a subtle way of showing support.
Expressing pride. During an intervention, the family talks at length about the addict’s disappointing behaviors. During recovery, families can turn the tide by expressing their happiness at the changes they see.

PIH Founder Farmer Discussing Possible Appointment To Coordinate U.S. Global Health Initiatives, Boston Globe Reports
Paul Farmer -- founder of Partners in Health and vice chair of the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School -- said he is in discussions with the State Department about a possible Obama administration appointment to coordinate U.S. global health initiatives, the Boston Globe reports. Farmer made the announcement Monday during a meeting with HMS faculty.
Farmer said that he has not decided whether he will accept the appointment if he receives a formal offer but that he is considering it, according to the Globe. The Globe reports that it was unable to confirm whether Farmer is being considered for a full-time policy position or for an advisory role or if the appointment would be a new or existing position. Several top positions at USAID -- including administrator, deputy administrator and the assistant administrator in charge of global health are vacant, the Globe reports. These positions are presidential appointments and would require Senate confirmation. In addition, Farmer could be discussing health policy positions with the State Department.
Farmer did not respond for requests seeking comment. PIH and HMS also declined comment. A spokesperson at the State Department would not discuss personnel discussions that are in progress or possible new positions. Laurie Garrett, a global health policy specialist at the Council on Foreign Relations, said the administration's announcement last week of a $63 billion, six-year initiative that aims to address HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other illnesses could allow new appointees the opportunity to make a significant impact in U.S. global health policy. Garrett, who has known Farmer for several years, added that she would be surprised if he is considering a government position in part because of his extensive involvement with PIH (Smith, Boston Globe, 5/15).

This is a comprehensive book that explores issues of religion and state such as what role should religions have vis-a-vis the state, the role of secularism in government and society and how the state can deal fairly with the various religions. The author, Veit Bader, is an emeritus professor of sociology and philosophy at the University of Amsterdam. This is an academically rigorous book. It is most definitely not bedtime reading. However, if you want a deeply thought and carefully argued book that does not shirk difficult questions or pose glib solutions this book is for you.
Bader is concerned to avoid both the temptation to “universalise particular moralities” and on the other end of the spectrum the problem of moral relativism which implicitly condones anything. In order to avoid these poles, Bader proposes that the state should seek to secure a moral minimalist position. In arguing for moral minimalism, Bader concedes that, “the content of a minimal universal morality is not uncontested… it is historically developing and even basic needs are always articulated from within particular cultural traditions”. However he argues that a moral minimalist position can be identified. He cites political theorist, D. Miller, who says that “at a sufficiently fundamental level… we should expect conceptions of need to converge” (cited by Bader, p. 71).
So what is the moral minimum that Bader has identified? He lists the following:
- Basic rights to security and subsistence
- Rights to life, liberty, bodily integrity, protection against violence
- Rights to basic subsistence, basic education, basic healthcare
- Minimal due process rights
- Minimal respect
- Collective and individual toleration (freedom of conscience)
- Agency and legal autonomy
Veit Bader, p. 72
He regards the minimal morality required in liberal-democracies to be more demanding as it includes such things as equal civic and political rights, equal legal rights and political autonomy (p. 72).
It is notable that the minimal morality identified by Bader does not refer to either religion or secularism. Bader argues throughout his book that the perceived opposition of religion vs secular is not helpful when considering issues of how the state should handle issues arising from diversity of beliefs in a modern society. Instead, he says, the focus should be on upholding the virtues of liberal-democracy. The issue of how the state recognises and deals with the various world-views adopted by its citizens should be framed in terms of the state’s priority to uphold the democratic principles under which the democratic state operates.
I found his discussion of the issues regarding neutrality and the state resonated with me. Bader states that “completely independent, impartial, neutral and objective knowledge is impossible…” (p. 68). He further argues that, “‘blindness’ or ‘benign neglect’ of religious diversity can only result in presumed neutrality hiding actual bias in favour of religious majorities” (p. 83). A state that practices ‘neutrality by taking a ‘hands-off’ approach to religion will effectively allow the religious group(s) which have been favoured in the history of the nation to continue to maintain their privileged position in society.
Attempting to remove religion from the public sphere is both unfair and fails to recognise the need to focus on supporting democracy says Bader. Those who represent religions are restricted in their ability to argue in support for democratic principles in the public sphere. Bader also points out that threats to democracy can occur from people who hold any belief, whether it be a form of atheism or one of the myriad religious views. By singling out religious perspectives for exclusion from the public sphere because these are a perceived threat to democracy, the state fails to recognise the fact that democracies have been damaged by people espousing secular perspectives as well as those operating under a religious banner at various times in the past. All world views, whether religious or secular have a history of supporting democracy. Both religious and secular views have also had a history of damaging democracy. It is not the world view that is the issue. The state needs to foster support for democracy from all its citizens whatever their belief (pp. 84-85).
Bader takes care to avoid extremes and to recognise that there is no neat or complete solution to the issues he addresses. Bader points out that not even France and the United States practice strict separation of church and state (pp. 63, 84). For example, the French government funds some religious schools and the United States Congress has a chaplaincy service and its’ sessions are opened with a prayer. Instead of strict separation Bader supports minimal separation. States need to be independent of religions and religions need to be free from unreasonable state interference (pp. 46-47). While recognising that a state cannot be neutral he advocates a pro-active stance by the government to foster ‘relational neutrality’. He regards state involvement as necessary to correct the unfair advantage that has been amassed by some religions for historical reasons and also to fairly include newer religions. He argues that liberal-democracies do not need to align themselves to a particular world-view whether it is secularist or otherwise (pp. 48-9).
Bader gives close attention to the role of government and religion in education and religion. I found myself nodding in agreement at many of his arguments, but not this one:
In adverse contexts, direct interactions amongst students tend to breed hostility instead of toleration, and more segregated schools provide better teaching and learning opportunities and may at least prevent ‘teaching’ the wrong practices (serving as a breeding ground for ‘vices’). The crucial question, then, is how to break through vicious self-reinforcing circles and create beneficial ones, both in governmental and non-governmental schools. This is the strategic problem to be solved, and in my view, voluntarism of student enrolment is crucial.
Bader, p. 274
I agree that a hostile multi-cultural environment is damaging, however I feel that Bader’s advocacy of parental choice between a more secular school and religious schools fails to address some important issues. Even if a government is happy to financially support all schools, whether run by the state, by religious organisations or other private organisations, it is not always possible to provide a number of different schools from which parents can choose if the population is not big enough to make this an economically viable proposition. This is exactly the situation which Australian colonial governments faced in the nineteenth century before they introduced compulsory education. There would be a number of struggling schools run by churches in towns that due to low student numbers could not afford to pay for the resources needed to provide good education for the students. The colonial governments could not afford to support all these struggling schools and opted to allow these to close and to provide government-run schools instead. Multi-cultural schools will still exist in Bader’s proposed system and some of these will have to address antipathy between students of different cultural backgrounds. Many people don’t have a choice and still wouldn’t under the system that Bader advocates. Even a religious school can be very multi-cultural and theoretically face similar issues to the multi-cultural government schools.
It is easier to oppose than to propose. Bader is not an academic who sits back and merely criticises, he devotes a considerable portion of the book to advocating a system of governance that he believes will best meet his objections to the current models in place in the west. He is an enthusiastic supporter of Associative Democracy as a system which he believes could address many of the problems states currently face when dealing with today’s multi-faith societies. I respect him for his preparedness to put forward a proposal which inevitably will be subject of tough interrogation by others and his recognition that there is no one ideal model which will address all the issues thrown up today. Overall I found his suggestions reasonable but as Bader says, it is one thing to suggest a solution on the pages of a book, it is another thing to translate the proposal into action. In the last paragraph of his book, Bader talks of the need to work with politicians, administrators, “social movement organisations” and religions to implement specific proposals tailored to the needs of the nation in question (p. 299). He says that “AD [Associative Democracy] self-consciously takes into account the limitations of theoretical knowledge. It… tries to learn from practical ‘muddling through’…” (p. 298).
From the outset Bader makes clear that this book is primarily concerned with western liberal democracies. Over the years many western thinkers have blithely supposed that the western experience is a global experience, Bader is not one. While confining his commentary to the situation in the west, he urges his readers to consider the Indian experience and says that while debates about these issues in political philosophy rage in many countries, India hosts one of the few “really productive debates” (p. 24). Thanks to Bader’s urging I now plan to read more about India’s experience and read the thoughts of Indian writers on this issue. One of the writers that Bader draws on extensively is Rajeev Bhargava. Bhargava urges us to consider the Indian experience in this article. Bader gives a taste of the arguments he presents in his book in a post he recently published in which he also refers to Bhargava’s article.
This book is well presented. Each chapter has a very good introduction and conclusion and the cross-referencing throughout the text allows the reader to easily refer to other sections of the book where discussion of the matter at hand is also discussed. The arguments are well expressed, albeit using more difficult terminology than what one comes across in publications directed towards the general public. The terminology is not a barrier to the general reader but a glossary would be useful. I found Bader’s use of acronyms annoying especially when some of the acronyms he used are commonly used by the general public. While I know that when Bader uses the acronym IP he means ‘institutional pluralism’ not ‘intellectual property’ and that AD does not refer to a year in this book – it is the acronym for Associative Democracy. But RIP gives a rather mournful tone to ‘religious institutional pluralism’ which I am sure was not intended by the author.
I have previously written about the importance of footnotes and endnotes. It is essential to read the endnotes in this book. Bader’s endnotes contain a lot of discussion which really should have been placed in the main text of the book. I read this book with two bookmarks, one to mark my place in the main text and the other to mark the page in the endnotes I was up to.
This book is not a dry, detached scholarly treatise. Bader is tackling issues that have been the subject of heated debates for well over a century. He doesn’t sit on the fence either. I can almost guarantee that anyone who reads his book will find at least one thing that they will disagree with. I chose to read this book because I wanted to be challenged so I welcomed the chance to read a well-argued opinion that at times differed to mine.
As I said at the beginning, this book is not bedtime reading. It takes work to engage with Bader’s arguments. I wondered whether a review of this type of book should be posted on this blog given that this blog is directed towards the general reader. However, I have posted this so that you can have a taste of some of the issues that are being debated by political philosophers. The issues that it addresses are issues that concern us all and are the subject of much public debate. Philosophy is not confined to obscure, theoretical academic treatises. This book demonstrates that philosophers are concerned about the things that concern all of us and have a contribution to make in public debate.

Malgudi, a small fictional town in South India has been part of the childhood of most Indians. It is an old, shabby, and peaceful town that is unruffled by politics. The stories set in this small town ring the sense of belongingness in the hearts of its readers. The familiar feeling that feels like home resonates with their soul. And teaches important life lessons to the readers through simple tales. Malgudi Days is one of the books that every Indian child should read. The book is a compilation of 32 short stories that paint a beautiful picture of small-town in India around the '60s and '70s
R. K. Narayan, one of the most well-known and popular writers within India and outside India is the creator of this town and the occurrences of this town. The stories follow the characters Swami and his friends through their everyday lives. Be it the story of fake astrologers who scam and loot the people by his cleverness, or the story of a blind beggar and his dog where the money blinded the man with greed; each story has a lesson to learn, morals and values hidden in it. As the stories are simple, easy to understand yet heart-touching it makes it easy for the kids to connect with each character and imagine the story as if the reader themselves were the protagonist of the story. In simple words, we can say that R.K. Narayan simply told stories of ordinary people trying to live their simple lives in a changing world.

As written during the Indian Independence movements and finally published in 1943. The stories in the Malgudi days beautifully encapsulated the transitioning milieu of the British era to post-Independence India. Each of the stories portrays a facet of life in Malgudi and simultaneously a life in an Indian town. R.K. Narayan was one of the first writers who pioneered Indian writings in the English language and the book was later republished outside India in 1982 by Penguin Classics. Thus, the book enjoyed a worldwide audience. The New York Times even described the virtue of the book as "everyone in the book seems to have a capacity for responding to the quality of his particular hour. It's an art we need to study and revive."
The beautiful storytelling of the book was assisted by beautiful illustrations allowing the children to let their imagination teleport them to the world of Malgudi. All the illustrations in the book were illustrated by the world-renowned cartoonist, R.K. Laxman who is also R.K. Narayan's younger brother. The illustrations complimented the scenes from the stories and excited the children, keeping them engaged in reading the book for hours.

The short stories from Malgudi Days were later adapted into a television adaptation in 1986. This show was directed by actor and director Shankar Nag. It was filmed both in Hindi and English, containing 54 episodes and the first 13 episodes respectively. Later the series was revived for additional 15 episodes. The show featured several popular celebrities from the Kannada film industry of those days – Girish Karnad, Vishnuvardhan, Ananth Nag, Arundhati Nag and Vaishali Kasaravalli, to name a few. The series was premiered on the Doordarshan channel and became the window into the town Malgudi for many. The show did not only excel in its storyline the TV adaptation elevated the storytelling as the show was technically very sound and stood out in its fantastic detailing in terms of locations and sets. With the cinematography being creative The Malgudi days- TV series once again warmed the hearts of both young ones and adults.

Malgudi- our childhood home
Malgudi days hold a special place in the hearts of whoever has read the book as a child. With the detailed descriptions of the town and stories one almost gets a feeling that they've visited the place themselves. The characters, Swami and his friends feel like they were all readers' childhood friends. The surreal feeling of being home in the world of Malgudi. The world of Malgudi is intimate, warm, lifelike, and engaging. The setting is modern, and the life portrayed in these stories is contemporary. Still, there is an old-time air about It. R K Narayan once described Malgudi as "Malgudi is where we all belong, and where we wish we lived."

It is impossible to detail the history of bookbinding without understanding the need for it. A very useful, and yet simple invention, spiral coils that hold books together and allow mobile access to the user came about just before WWII, but much before that, paper underwent a massive change in production technique.
Beginning in China, paper was made of bamboo sticks slit open and flattened. In Egypt, papyrus was made from the reeds that grew in the Nile. In India, long, rectangular strips of palm leaves were stitched together to form legible documents. When monasteries were established, scrolls came into being. Parchment paper, or animal hide, also known as vellum, were used to copy out texts periodically to preserve them. Prior to all this, clay tablets were used to record important events, and in some cases, rock edicts were made.
But all this changed with the invention of the printing press by Gutenberg. Paper became the medium by which inscriptions, announcements, and almost everything was made. Once paper became so accessible, printing began in full scale. Newspapers and the Bible were printed every day.
Metal coils were used before the world war Image credit: Photo by Dan Bucko on Unsplash
With wads of paper, something had to be done about keeping them together. Bookbinding began as a booming business. First, the pages were just sewn together. A special sewing machine was invented just for books. When this did not suit all book types, the process of punching and binding began. Holes were punched in books, and they were tied together.
Much later, an adhesive thermoplastic strip became available by which book pages were stuck together. They sold in this format for a long time. Ideas began to flow in for notebooks when people discovered that they could attach pieces of paper together. A machine was invented that drew lines. This made it easier for people who wrote a lot.
After a while, when people got used to having their books a certain way, The Spiral Binding Company opened in 1932, which changed the way bookbinding was done. Books could now be bound by coil and this was not only economical, but also convenient, because pages could easily be turned without breaking the bind. The original spiral bind coil was made of metal, but when supplies were rationed during WWII, they were made from plastic. This trend has remained to the present day, where spiral bound books are preferred to the other kinds of binding except in cases of publishing and official documentation.

The history of Daryaganj goes back to the era of Mughal dynasty, and so its history is as old as the old city of Shahjahanabad, now Chandni Chowk. Interestingly, this market was known as Faiz Bazaar in the Mughal era and was considered as an important commercial place.
In fact, at that time this area was very posh, and had beautiful houses on both sides of a stream from a hauz (meaning, water storage tank) flowing down the centre. Not only this, trees were lined up for shade and it looked like a marvellous garden had been turned into a market.
Also, there used to be Lohe ka Pull which used to connect shops lined on both sides of the market starting from Delhi Gate to the Iron Bridge, but now the pull no longer exists. Well, there's no doubt that the old city of Shahjahanabad was beautiful crafted!
One of the most beautiful things about Daryaganj is its famous book market, known as the Sunday Patri Kitaab Bazaar. Sunday is specifically added here because the book market takes place only on Sundays, that, too, from 9am till 6pm.
Booksellers set up their shops on Patri (footpath). Hence, the name is Sunday Patri Kitaab Bazaar. Photo by Flickr.
In this market, you can find all kinds and genres of books at cheapest rates. In fact, some booksellers sell books according to kilos, and this is really astounding to see. From stationery to art supplies, you can find everything here and that, too, in a lot of variety.
It is interesting to see that some of the shopkeepers of Daryaganj book market are selling books from the past 50-60 years. Not only this, Daryaganj book market is also famous for its branded electronic goods and science lab equipments.
Apart from this, you can also find some of the lost traces of British rule, which once existed in India, in this market in the form of coins, photographs, and even their personal belongings. There is absolutely no doubt that Daryaganj book market offers a lot more than books, as it offers glimpses of the past.

As we know that Indian history is broadly divided into three categories, namely, ancient, medieval, and modern. Therefore, in order to understand where India stands today, one must read some of the books on modern Indian history which will throw light on how India became what it became.
The Idea of India by Sunil Khilani
Though this book was published in 1977, still it is very much relevant and can be a good source to understand modern Indian history. This book serves as an introductory serve as an introductory guide in which important topics are covered such as how India became independent, its economic and political history since Partition, and how democracy shaped the country into a nation.
India after Gandhi by Ramachandra Guha
This is one of the most significant books written on modern Indian history. This book primarily covers “India after Gandhi”, as the title itself tells. This means that this book talks about the post-independence era, i.e. from 1947 to 1990s. In fact, one can get to know about the political, economic, and social background which existed in India after the death of the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi.
The Argumentative Indian: Writings on Indian History, Culture, and Identity by Amartya Sen
Amartya Sen, a Nobel Laureate economist writes about India's history and identity in this book. At the same time, he primarily focused on the traditions of public debate and intellectual pluralism in this book. It must be noted that this book by Sen is a compilation of all the essays which he had written considering all the spheres of the country. Therefore, this is good read in order to know understand about modern India.
India– The Emerging Giant by Arvind Panagiriya
This book is best suited for those who want to know and understand the economy of India. This book focuses on the different economic paths, from Jawaharlal Nehru to Manmohan Singh. Though this book is mostly comprehensive and analytical, but it is a good read in order to know the depths of modern Indian history in terms of economy.

On the Kinburn Spit, the Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed one enemy artillery gun, MLRS and an ammunition depot, according to OK Yug.
In the southern direction, the Russian invaders do not stop shelling the right bank of the Kherson region, and in the Mykolaiv region they continue to terrorize the sea transport routes from the Kinburn Spit. Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to get into the equipment of the invaders in this sector of the front. This will be reported to OK “South”.
“The effective work of our rocket and artillery units by delivering accurate, well-balanced strikes against the enemy’s firing positions on the Kinburn Spit eliminated one artillery cannon and a multiple launch rocket system from use. The ammunition depot also responded with solemn fireworks,” the report says.
It is also noted that with the support of the Air Force aviation, at least 16 Russian occupiers, 3 pieces of weapons and military equipment were liquidated in the area of concentration of the RF Armed Forces on the left bank. The final results are known.
In one of the areas of the RF Armed Forces, after an unsuccessful first assault, they decided to go for a second one, but they got “nuts” from the fighters of the Separate Mechanized Presidential Brigade named after Hetman Bogdan Khmelnitsky. Ukrainian defenders hit armored vehicles almost immediately. The infantry went further behind the tank, but it was also covered with fire.
The drone of the NSU in the Donetsk region destroyed a rare engineering vehicle of the occupiers and an expensive air defense system. “Tor M1” and the Russian engineering remote mining system “Agriculture” Ukrainian National Guardsmen “demilitarized” with the help of a drone.

Boston, MA — A massive snow storm and blizzard is hitting the Northeast, again. The winter storm is stranding motorists on highways and piling up drifts so high that some homeowners are having problems getting their doors open. This may remind you of the great snow storm from 2014 where the exact same situation happened, along with every other year before that.
Erich Sean from Boston said he gets frustrated every year around this exact same time.
“I just keep telling myself that maybe this will be the year we don’t get blizzards and huge snow storms, but I’m always wrong,” Kelly said. “Well, maybe next year I’ll be right.”
Paul Horner who is weather man for WCVB said he was amazed with all the snowfall happening in the Northeast.
“When I first heard about the snowstorm I couldn’t understand how this could be possible. To see all this snow in February during the winter time, it just blows your mind,” Horner said. “I just want to say a word to all of our loyal viewers and readers; if you’re out in the snow, without clothes on, go back inside your home and put clothes on immediately. Then proceed to do what you’ve always done during February for the past 100 years or however long you’ve lived in the Northeast.”
73-year-old Wanda Jenkins from Sun City, Arizona told reporters she cannot believe the news about all the snowstorms and blizzards happening in the Northeast.
“Oh lawd, it’s just horrible. Have you seen the news lately? It’s snowing like crazy in the Northeast, again. And all of this during wintertime, in February, just like it always does,” Jenkins said. “I’m planning on sending care packages to all of my relatives that live in the Northeast. Each box will be filled with fake snow and photographs of my beautiful backyard and garden. I think I’ll take the pictures this Saturday, while in my shorts and t-shirt, when it’s supposed to be 80 degrees with clear blue skies.”
The National Weather Service is warning people living in the Northeast to expect more snow and blizzards. The threat level on their website has been elevated to “Normal”, which is where it has been since threat levels for snow and blizzards in the Northwest began being documented over 50 years ago.
If you know of a family member or loved one living in the Northeast, expect them to call you complaining about the weather. Make sure you have caller ID or a block in place so you can disregard their bitching that happens every year at this exact same time.


Issues Arise Once Pressure Returns to Normal
A cost-effective and reliable PRD monitoring system can meet regulations and provide a strong ROI while improving efficiency, enhancing safety, and cutting operating costs; however, problems arise when a PRD does not completely close. Even a small leakage (0.1% from the PRV flow area) can cause significant financial losses, as well as emissions violations that result in expensive fines and even required shutdowns.
Acoustic Transmitters Address the Challenges of Monitoring PRDs
Historically, PRDs have been difficult to monitor and are susceptible to false positives when the PRD does not reseat fully. A reliable, effective and economic way to monitor PRDs is to use acoustic transmitters—small, wireless, lightweight and non-intrusive devices. For example, a noise level returning to a level above the previous baseline indicates leakage due to the valve not closing completely. A continuous noise level change indicates that the valve may be simmering or chattering.
Rupture Discs and Burst Detectors Can Also Benefit
Rupture discs also can be monitored with a wireless acoustic transmitter, which can detect when the disc ruptures, as well as the duration of the discharge. It can even detect small leaks caused by pinholes. An additional benefit is that with acoustic transmitters, maintenance personnel can replace or maintain their equipment at the most convenient time—without having to slow or shut down the process.

The 20-year-old actor - who plays Harry's sidekick Ron Weasley in the boy wizard films - was already anticipating a "big night" when he walked the red carpet in the pouring rain at London's Leicester Square on Tuesday (07.07.09).
He said: "It's great to be here. Premieres are always a lot of fun. Always a really big night - if you know what I mean!"
The next morning (08.07.09), Rupert seemed worse for wear, stumbling out of the exclusive Claridge's Mayfair hotel looking as though he might be sick at any moment.
The bleary-eyed star was so dazed he got into the wrong car, sitting there for around a minute before he realised his mistake.
The night before, Rupert bragged about his drunken antics at the premiere.
He laughed: "When I'm drunk I like to cause mischief. I'll steal props like the broomsticks from the 'Harry Potter' set and bring them out to the pub for comedy value. It seems funny at the time. Trouble is I usually get too trashed to remember what happened the next day."

Despite some positive news yesterday, many newspaper companies are in financial trouble and will continue to slip further and further into debt. On his blog Reflections of a Newsosaur Alan Mutter offers a potential solution: file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The protection offered by doing this would, among other things, allow “the ability to terminate the restrictive and anachronistic labor contracts that stand in the way of the efficient operation of a company that is literally fighting for its life,” Mutter writes. Altering these contracts is a controversial discussion but would allow the paper to cut costs.
What other advantages might there be?
Under the auspices of a bankruptcy court, Chapter 11 gives a company the right to walk away from unnecessary leases on real estate, equipment and vehicles. It also lets a company renegotiate bills owed to creditors, enabling debts to be settled for cents on the dollar. Wages, benefits and other obligations to employees usually are unaffected by a bankruptcy filing.
Filing for bankruptcy is not nearly a perfect solution, nor is it a permanent one. It might, however, buy some newspaper companies enough time to continue surviving long enough to figure out a sustainable business plan. Whether they deserve this chance or not is up for debate.

Label: Rapid Eye Records Releasedate: 10-07-2020
Berlin-based post-punk act MAGGOT HEART have been building a solid path ever since they were formed in 2016. Founded by the the mastermind Linnéa Olsson (ex-THE OATH, ex-GRAVE PLEASURES), the band released the first debut Dusk to Dusk in 2018. After countless shows and a loyal fanbase, Linnéa and her team are back with Mercy Machine, released via RAPID EYE RECORDS.
As someone who has been following the band since day 1 and having seem them in unusual places, I gotta admit that writing this review was quite the nice challenge! After the fantastic debut Dusk to Dusk (2018), I was curious about how the band’s sound and lyrics were going to develop with this release. I was sure that I wouldn’t be disappointed, and I was damn right!
With Mercy Machine, we are experiencing that dirty rock sound, which is highly influenced by the big city vibes once again. However, this time, the band takes the sound to a higher level. Compared to Dusk to Dusk, there is a rather upbeat tempo, which is even optimistic at times. This was quite the surprising twist; whereas Dusk to Dusk was dominated by night, I could feel the hints of both day and night in Mercy Machine. The drums are dynamic as always, and Linnéa’s vocals even more confident.
One aspect I always loved with Maggot Heart is how the band combines different styles so well; there is a bit of post-punk, a bit of death/hard rock and even elements of the 60s. Yet, it would be simplifying to say that it is just a post-punk sound for instance. With Mercy Machine, this combination is mastered even better with the production and composition, which make the songs flow flawlessly. As a matter of fact, each song has a different character and colour, yet they complete each other so well. There is no room for repetitions as each track is on point, representing the aggression and passion in Maggot Heart’s sound.
It is rare that I get to enjoy the development of a band’s sound and style from day 1. Mercy Machine is dirty, aggressive and rock’n’roll to the bone! Lovers of the post-punk/death rock sound and lovers of the big city dirt, get this release and devour it! If you are new to this band and this sound, I can also recommend this album, and from there on, it will be chain reaction for sure and you will drawn to the music very fast! Definitely one of my favorites of 2020.

NASA's astronaut construction workers today added communications antennas and removed unneeded equipment from the exterior of the space station in another space walk from the shuttle Endeavour.
Col. Jerry L. Ross of the Air Force and Dr. James H. Newman, a physicist, completed a seven-hour space walk tonight after emerging from Endeavour's airlock earlier than planned, at 3:33 P.M. Eastern time. They accomplished all of their tasks, including improving the communications systems aboard the two station sections docked to the shuttle's cargo bay and freeing a stuck antenna.
The main objective was to install two, 100-pound communications antennas on opposite sides of the American-made Unity connecting module. The astronauts wrestled with the suitcase-size antennas as they pulled them through a narrow tunnel into the cargo bay. Then, with Colonel Ross riding the shuttle's robot arm and Dr. Newman moving up the side of the module on a tether line, they moved the antennas halfway up the 35-foot-tall module.
Each astronaut installed an antenna, and Dr. Newman hooked his to a video cable running down from the Russian-built Zarya module. On Thursday, when the six-member crew enters the station modules for the first time, the astronauts will hook the antennas to equipment on the inside and test a video conferencing system that will be used in the early stages of station construction.
Today's space walk was the second of three planned for the 12-day mission.
The new antennas also will give NASA's Mission Control at the Johnson Space Center in Houston the ability to monitor Unity and to have direct control over operations on the station without having to go through Russian ground stations.Continue reading the main story
The astronauts quickly moved through the other objectives of the walk, including erecting a folding sunshade over a computer mounted outside of Unity and bundling loose cables along the exterior.
Working around the 7-story, 35-ton Zarya-Unity stack, the astronauts also removed restraints used to stablize four Unity hatchways during launching. These hatches will be docking ports for other station modules, including the framework for a solar array and a cupola viewing port, that will be added in the station's five-year construction period.
As the astronauts worked their way around the station's aluminum exterior, bright sunlight illuminated the blue-lettered ''Unity'' emblem, which includes small representations of the American Flag and NASA's insignia. Noticing it, Colonel Ross remarked to his partner, ''Kind of neat working up here right by the Unity sign, isn't it?''
Shortly before the space walk, ground controllers gave the astronauts permission to try to unstick one of two rolled-up antennas on Zarya. The astronauts confirmed on Monday that explosive bolts that were to unfurl the four-foot long antennas had fired after Zarya was launched on Nov. 20 but failed to deploy the devices, to be used to help dock ships to the Russian module.
Dr. Newman tapped the antenna free with a 10-foot-long extendable grappling hook. The astronauts will try to free the other antenna on the third space walk on Saturday.Continue reading the main story

After a difficult year like the one we have just passed, each of us knows how fundamental the stimuli are to continue creating and processing. Those who work in the creative sectors, then, have experienced it on their own skin. Not being able to go out, relate to others, live new experiences that give new emotions, it was like closing yourself in a bubble, made of the usual things, with the usual routine.
Each of us has therefore taken refuge in the great world of the Internet, which offers (despite everything, it is incredible) continuous visions of the “outside world”, “as it once was”. And it is probably also thanks to platforms such as Youtube and Netflix if we continued to dream and hope to come back to life with strength: all that music, those films and those TV series accompanied us, supported us, made us laugh and cry in the worst moments of despair, in which we were alone, on our sofa, with yet another tub of ice cream or bag of chips.
The British Fashion Council has been able to make the most of the momentum of the Netflix series and has started a collaboration with NetflixUk which gives three of its students the opportunity to design and reinterpret the clothes of the TV series Bridgerton. The team of the three boys is made up of Aurélie Fontan, Edward Mendoza and Shanti Bell and the most formidable thing is that they will be led by tutor and mentor Richard Quinn.
The collaboration between the BFC and Netflix is already quite innovative in itself, but it opens us to new interesting reflections on possible future scenarios in fashion. We could say that this is ‘reinventing’ itself, using an “old but new” method. It is not an absolute novelty, in fact, that high fashion manages to sneak onto the big screen: should we remember Armani with American Gigolò? Or the classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s, with Audrey Hepburn so in love with Hubert De Givenchy that she forced the director to use her clothes?
But we could equally say that, in recent years, all the mass TV series and popular cinema had somewhat wiped out this beautiful habit of combining, in terms of fashion, luxurious clothes with thick films.
But above all, in this way the BFC tries to introduce tutoring as a method that is not only valid, but fundamental for fashion design students, especially if the tutor is able to bring with him the years of experience in the field, like the Londoner Richard Quinn.
Although the official costumes were not designed by these young designers and are instead of the famous costume designer Ellen Mijornick, the clothes were still a nice marketing and communication move: the photos, taken by photographer Amber Pinkerton, were reposted by some stars of the series, from the BFC profile and also from Netflix Uk, giving young talents a lot of visibility in both fields, cinema and the fashion system.
Visualizza questo post su Instagram
The most interesting question we should ask ourselves is what could happen if this initiative were able to launch future collaborations between the pillars of the “new cinema streaming” (such as Netflix or Amazon Prime) and the emerging voices of young designers still ” students “.
Gemma Juliver, the Commercial Director of the BFC, greets us with these words:
“This year has been one of the most difficult for the British fashion industry. We are delighted to partner with Netflix to support our talented designers to work on one of the biggest shows of the year: Bridgerton. This collaboration with Netflix shows the importance of fashion in the world of television and cinema».

The range of strains that can be imaged by any practical elastographic imaging system is inherently limited, and a performance measure is valuable to evaluate these systems from the signal and noise properties of their output images. Such a measure was previously formulated for systems employing cross-correlation based time-delay estimators through the strain filter. While the strain filter predicts the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR/sub e/) for each tissue strain in the elastogram and provides valuable insights into the nature of image noise, it understated the effects of image resolution (axial resolution, as determined by the cross-correlation window length) on the noise. In this work, the strain filter is modified to study the strain noise at multiple resolutions. The effects of finite window length on signal decorrelation and on the variance of the strain estimator are investigated. Long-duration windows are preferred for improved sensitivity, dynamic range, and SNR/sub e/. However, in this limit the elastogram is degraded due to poor resolution. The results indicate that for nonzero strain, a window length exists at which the variance of strain estimator attains its minima, and consequently the elastographic sensitivity, dynamic range and SNR/sub e/ are strongly affected by the selected window length. Simulation results corroborate the theoretical results, illustrating the presence of a window length where the strain estimation variance is minimized for a given strain value. Multiresolution elastography, where the strain estimate with the highest SNR/sub e/ obtained by processing the pre- and post-compression waveforms at different window lengths is used to generate a composite elastogram and is proposed to improve elastograms. All the objective elastogram parameters (namely: SNR/sub e/, dynamic range, sensitivity and the average elastographic resolution-defined as the cross-correlation window length) are improved with multiresolution elastography when compared t- the traditional method of utilizing a single window length to generate the elastogram. Experimental results using a phantom with a hard inclusion illustrates the improvement in elastogram obtained using multiresolution analysis.

Wells Fargo announces Region Bank Presidents for the Community Bank’s New Jersey region. The move is based on a reorganization plan the financial institution announced last month.
There had been two region presidents and six area presidents, for a total of eight Community Bank executives. There will be four Region Bank Presidents, which is a new position consolidating the roles of area president and region president into one. There are 294 branches in New Jersey.
According to the bank, “this is the right go-forward structure for Community Banking as it allows Wells Fargo to be more streamlined, efficient, and consistent across our regions. Consolidating the two roles gives us one role that is clearly defined, reduces the levels of management, and tightens controls. This move will also improve span of control which was between three to four at the RP and AP level and will now be six to eight among RBPs. It also brings leaders closer to customers and team members which enhances two-way conversations and input.
Larisa Perry remains the Northeast Lead Region President for Community Bank. She covers New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Delaware, which overall includes 744 branches.
The New Jersey Region Bank Presidents reporting to Perry are:
Additionally, Fred Bertoldo, formerly the region president in Northern New Jersey, has become region bank president for New York state’s 73 branches. In addition, Ivon Creagh, who was formerly an area president in Northern New Jersey, will now oversee 67 branch locations in Northeast Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley region.Related Articles:

domain: geography


Performed at JCU on Sept. 24 in Kulas Auditorium.
BET’s “Comic View” host and movie actor.
How long have you been in comedy?
About ten years.
What influenced you to start doing comedy?
Everybody always told me I was funny. I knew I wanted to be a comedian because in junior high I was watching a stand up show and there was a commercial called, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” where this old lady fell down. I told a joke about that commercial and that weekend a comic did about the same joke. I thought, “Wait a minute, I’m thinking along the same wave lengths as this guy. I can do this.”
Who is your inspiration in comedy?
I don’t have one, man. I don’t watch a lot of stand up because I don’t want to think my jokes aren’t from me. I think you can take somebody’s concept without realizing where you got the idea.
Tell us how you got to host BET’s “Comic View.”
It was funny how I got the job. I was in the Navy, stationed in San Diego and I was listening to the radio and heard, “We’re looking for the funniest black comedian in San Diego.” So I called the radio station. I didn’t say I wasn’t black or I was black. I won the contest of Funniest Black Comic in San Diego and first prize was an audition for Comic View on BET. Even Comic View’s a contest. So I won that and became the host for the next year. I had to come back to the Navy every two weeks, but that’s how I got on “Comic View.”
What was the most embarrassing moment you had on the show?
I’ve never had anybody write a joke for me. “Comic View” gave me three writers that I didn’t know and wasn’t vibing with at all. I used one of their jokes one time. I looked at it and said, “I don’t think that’s funny,” but they said the crowd was set up for it. I walked out there and crashed and burned.
How do you get your material?
Just day to day life. Honest to God, sometimes I just ask the crowd what they want me to talk about.
How do you tell jokes about race without offending anyone?
You can talk about any nationality and black people don’t care. But if I were to do black/white jokes for a white audience, there better be black people in the audience because white people always look at the black people to make sure it’s cool to laugh. I just get jokes from observations. I’m going to tell that joke the same way in front of a black or white crowd.
Was there a time someone got offended by a joke?
There have been a couple times when people got offended. But if there’s a thousand people in the audience and one person got offended and 999 people laughed, that person has a problem. You can’t come to a comedy show to get offended. One time I was doing some 9/11 jokes and one lady was taking it serious. I just looked at her and said, “Well, I’m sorry you feel that way.” I had one lady come up to me after Virginia Tech and she had her seven-year-old kid with her, and she said, “I can’t believe you just did that in front of my son.” I just said, “It’s 11 o’clock.”

Feeling the pinch of a decline in national spot TV, stations are working together in markets to help secure and ease the purchase of local schedules.
Valari Staab, president of NBCUniversal Media LLC's owned television stations, speaking at the S&P Global Market Intelligence TV & Radio and Finance Summit in New York on June 14, said that with ad agencies under margin pressure from clients, more buys are gravitating to national TV and digital outlets, which are easier to execute. To compete, local market-holding companies are being established, helmed by a point person to help navigate buyers across the market and make it easier and less expensive to buy local TV.
"The decline is not in local sales, but rather in national spot," she said, noting that for a campaign to fully reach a market, schedules may have to run across six or seven stations.
After the presentation, Staab said NBC (US) stations are taking lead roles in establishing joint marketing initiatives in some areas, while other broadcasters lead the effort in other DMAs.
Staab said that while much has been made of broadcast's ratings decline, stations continue to amass huge audiences, reaching 70% of people in the market. "Any digital business would like to be able to say that," she said.
NBCU also benefits from selling to both the English and Spanish communities via its NBC and Telemundo networks. That allows the company to reach an entire market, Staab said, where with traditional duopolies, English-language stations wind up selling against each other.
NBC has been emphasizing ad sales training over the last two years, increasing employees' knowledge base and certification to move digital inventory and pitching opportunities with both English and Spanish stations as part of an overall portfolio sell.
Staab said the company is also working to educate agencies, which are "experiencing just as much change as we are." To that end, she said some are "breaking down the silos of just buying local broadcast, digital or cable."
While local news is critically important, generating around 50% to 60% of station revenues, Staab said her station group is benefiting from Telemundo Deportes being the Spanish-language rights holder in the U.S. to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, which kicked off in Moscow on June 14. The tournament, like the Winter Olympics in February, is being backed by the "symphony" treatment across NBCU, which marshals promotional and content resources across its linear and digital assets.
Staab said with the 2026 World Cup coming to the U.S., Mexico and Canada, and the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, NBCU sees large opportunities for stations in the next decade that take the properties to the market together.
The World Cup and the Olympics, which NBCU holds the U.S. multimedia rights to through the 2032 Summer Games, are also drivers of retransmission-consent revenue for the stations, Staab said.

Black Ice Mocha Clownfish
The Black Ice Mocha Clownfish is part of the Amphiprion Ocellaris family. The Black Ice Mocha Clownfish is named so for the intense black outline around the white snowflake pattern bands on its body and fins, which are not present on a common Snowflake. It also has the same brown body tone of a mocha clownfish, which will darken with age. As juveniles, the snowflake pattern is not as refined as an adult's pattern. However, as it grows and matures the edges take shape and becomes something truly unique. Each individual clownfish is different and will have unique coloration and patterns all its own, which is what makes designer clownfish so desirable.

Villa at the Lake – Landscape Photography Workshop
Regular priceSFr. 250.00
A beautiful villa rests on a small hill at the end of the cozy lake near Zurich. Surrounded and slightly hidden by magnificent, house-high trees, this villa with its adjoining small house on the right side, the well-known "Wöschhüsli", offers the ideal place to take pictures with long exposures and reflections in the lake.
The great photo subject is also ideal for creating timeblendings. For this we use different settings to combine long time exposures with faster exposures. This way we can create fairytale pictures in which the lake is smooth, the clouds in the sky are soft and the trees around the villa are crisp and sharp.
The icing on the cake is when the lights in the villa go on at the blue hour and breathe life into the dreamlike scenery.
The attractions of the photo workshop "Villa at the Lake"
Beautiful local recreation and nature reserve
Spectacular moods at the golden and blue hour
Coaching and individual support by the photo workshop leader
Topics at the photo workshop "Villa at the Lake"
