Since September 2010, this blog has recorded the journey of this middle-aged man as I attempt to listen to all the music in my CD collection. CDs revisited in their entirety from start to finish - no skipping tracks, no shuffle. CDs only - no vinyl, no tapes, no downloads. And just as CD technology (and the album format itself) becomes obsolete. I'm no music critic, just a music junkie with too much time on my hands.

The Manhattan Transfer - Extensions (1979)
Note: this release was originally purchased as an LP, later replaced by a CD.
I don't listen to this much these days, but it got a lot of play when I was in high school (I think my LP was obtained through one of those Columbia House record club scams). At the time I thought this music was jazz fusion-ish, but really it's just adult contemporary. The inconsistency of styles didn't bother me back then, but now I can see what a mixed bag it is: some jazz vocalese, some pop tunes, an avant garde track, a doo-wop number, an attempt at electronic big band music, and the interesting inclusion of a Tom Waits song. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy listening to this, if only for the memories.
Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: #55
Peak on Cash Box album chart: #63
Tracks: The best tracks are the covers of Weather Report's Birdland and Spyro Gyra's Shaker Song. Birdland, now considered a jazz standard, was a minor hit for the group and has become their signature song. When I had the LP, I'd skip the last two tracks on side one (Coo Coo U and Body And Soul) and the last track on side two (Foreign Affair). 30+ years later, I still want to skip the same tracks.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: This was my introduction to the group, which became one of my favorites in high school and college. In high school jazz band, we played arrangements of both Birdland and Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone.

Mrs Rudd trashed allegations about Whips keeping a list of cases of misconduct to use against party members amid the Parliament sex scandal.
During an interview on the Andrew Marr Show, the BBC host said: "Let me read you what Katie Perrior, who was very recently part of the Government. She says ‘this information is held by the whips because they use it to make sure that MPs know that the people within the party know exactly what they’ve been up to and that behaviour either is not acceptable or it will be used against them.’"
But the Home Secretary denied the list's existence, saying: "There was no black book, there was no sort of influence going on. It was much more about getting government business through.
Mrs Rudd denied claims Whips compiled a "black book" cataloguing MPs' misbehaviours
"I was a Whip myself and I don’t recognise some of those more lurid stories that are told about the sort of things whips knew and did. I just don’t recognise it, I tell it as it is.
"I spent a year in the Whips' office and there wasn’t anything of the kind. I think Parliament has already changed a lot. We no longer have those midnight sittings. It has changed and become more family friendly. It’s got to do more!"
Parliament has been dogged by a series of allegations regarding the sexual behaviour of cross-party members.
Several key Conservative figures have been accused in the harassment allegations in Westminster including First Secretary of State Damian Green and former Defence secretary Sir Michael Fallon.
There was no black book, there was no sort of influence going on. It was much more about getting government business through.
The harassment scandal has led to questions over how much the party leadership across the spectrum knew about the allegations.
Mrs Rudd maintained British politics will ultimately benefit from the spate of abuse claims that have rocked Parliament over the past week.
She continued: "I think it is something that will take place in terms of clearing out Westminster of that sort of behaviour.
"And I think that Westminster afterwards, including the Government, will be better for it. When we are confident that men and women can work in a respectful environment and people who have been on the receiving end of abuse of power can come forward, that will be a positive thing."

The Volcano Adventure Guide: Excellent information and background for anyone wishing to visit active volcanoes safely and enjoyably. The book presents guidelines to visiting 42 different volcanoes around the world.
Mount Bachelor (formerly known as Bachelor Butte) in central Oregaon is a symmetrical stratovolcano, which is part of a 25 km long volcanic chain SE of South Sister.
The chain is aligned N-S and consists of the main volcano of Mt Bachelor itself, cinder cones, small shield volcanoes, and lava flows. The youngest eruption (dated by comparison with known dates of overlying and underlying layers) occurred about 6000 years ago at the Egan scoria cone on the north flank. It produced a lava flow that overlies (=is younger than) ash from the 6850 year BP eruption of Crater Lake.
Vulkane Italiens - order online: 88 pages, brilliant color photos, German language - this beautifully illustrated guidebook is a perfect introduction and companion for all interested in Italy's rich and varied volcanic areas.
Climbing Stromboli volcano: Stromboli provides one of the most remarkable opportunities to watch volcanic eruptions from close: a natural ridge located 150 m above the active vents. A classic and all-time favorite tour by anyone interested in seeing active volcanoes!

In the world that surrounds us, there exists a realm often overlooked due to its diminutive scale - the hidden world of insects. Through macro photography, we are offered a fascinating glimpse into this micro-universe teeming with life. With an array of colorful beetles to intricately designed spiders in their natural habitats, and unassuming ants hard at work, this diverse ecosystem holds countless wonders waiting to be explored. The beauty lies not just in beholding these creatures but also capturing them through professional lens-making methods, bringing them closer than ever before for our appreciation. This article will delve into how macro photography reveals the concealed world of insects while sharing tips on capturing these tiny marvels.
Exploring Macro Photography Towards Insects
Macro photography, a photographic technique primarily used to capture the intricate and often overlooked details of small subjects, has been instrumental in unearthing the hidden world of insects. This type of photography, often referred to as close-up or microphotography, uses professional lens-making techniques to produce images of small objects at larger than life size. It uniquely enables the viewer to explore and appreciate the minute details which generally escape the naked eye. In the context of entomology, macro photography is a pivotal tool. It brings to life the rich, intricate universe of insects that is largely unexplored. From the complex patterns on a butterfly's wings to the minute hairs on a spider's legs, macro photography has transformed our understanding and perception of the insect world. It provides a unique perspective, revealing the unseen eye's view of insects' vibrant and diverse lives. Hence, macro photography is a fundamental tool in the study and appreciation of the hidden world of insects.
The Diversity of Insect Life Captured
It's a fascinating journey into the diverse ecosystem of insect life through the lens of macro photography. This technique allows the capture of commonly captured creatures in an entirely new light, revealing the hidden, intricate designs of spiders and the vibrant colors of beetles. Biodiversity is stunningly showcased in these close-up images, unveiling a world that often goes unnoticed. The minutiae of spiders' woven webs and the brilliant hues of beetles are just a fraction of the myriad of insect life waiting to be discovered. The intricate spider designs, highlighted through macro photography, offer a deeper understanding of their complex world, while the colorful beetles provide a glimpse into the wide variety of insect species available. This exploration into the world of insects opens a window into an ecosystem rich in diversity and full of surprises.
Insect habitats are a fascinating subject to delve into, particularly when observed through the lens of macro photography. Close-up shots offer a unique window into these hidden worlds, revealing details and aspects that are often overlooked or invisible to the naked eye. These new perspectives can significantly deepen our understanding of insect lives, as they expose the complex environments they inhabit and the subtle ways they interact with their surroundings. Macro photography, therefore, does not just capture the aesthetic beauty of these microcosms, but also opens a whole new avenue of scientific exploration and discovery. These unseen surroundings, teeming with life and activity, hold endless secrets waiting to be unravelled.
Capturing the Invisible Activities
Delving deeper into the realm of macro photography, the documentation of daily activities of insects, specifically the industrious laboring ants, becomes a significant element of focus. Most of these activities remain unseen to the naked human eye, yet they hold an immense importance in the ecological balance. Macro photography brings these tiny wonders into light, further fostering reader's curiosity and engagement. The complex organization and hard work of an ant colony, for instance, can be a topic of intrigue. The ants tirelessly working together, each fulfilling their specific roles and responsibilities, is an unseen world that the macro lens beautifully reveals. This not only enriches the experience of macro photography but also opens up a new perspective on the often overlooked life of insects. Hence, the melding of art and science through photography becomes a potent tool for creating awareness and appreciation for these minute yet significant creatures.

In this paper, the invisible hand concept for the definition of Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS) Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) is introduced. The main idea is that these systems become a sort of "invisible hand'' able to support the driver and to increase driving safety if they are integrated with each other (i.e., longitudinal, lateral and rear control) and the most "persuasive'' and "efficient'' interaction between driver and ADA systems is developed. Here the analysis is conducted taking into consideration the technological evolution scenario and the identification of related user interaction aspects (including technical and communication analysis). Moreover, the ways to design the best interaction between drivers and ADAS interfaces from communication and HMI points of view has been included as well as an overview of the user centered approach adopted in the Centro Ricerche Fiat's design process.

War brings with it separation: of lovers, families, friend and foe, the quick and the dead. Meetings at such a time have a transient, already elegiac quality. Harry Ricketts's new book tells the story of the First World War poets through a series of brief encounters that only infrequently flourish into a fruitful relationship. Not all of these happened in person, and five occurred well after the war had ended.
Robert Graves and Siegfried Sassoon were the only two who met anywhere near the front line, near Béthune, in the north of France. These poets seem to have spent as much time looking hopefully towards London literary circles and the TLS as they did across no-man's-land. Their struggle was not just with the Germans but within themselves, as they attempted to adapt the subdued poetics of pre-war verse to life on the Western Front. That meant grappling with Rupert Brooke's overbearing legacy.
Brooke died in April 1915, not in battle, but of septicaemia while on the way to Turkey. His five war sonnets, with their ethos of patriotic service and the victory of pride over regret, had been seized upon by a public and political class in need of justifying the despatch of its youth to death. "The Soldier" ("If I should die, think only this of me . . .") was read out by W R Inge, dean of St Paul's, at the cathedral on Easter Sunday, just before the poet's death. And yet something rang false about them. Edward Thomas, writing to Robert Frost, thought the poems "not very personal but a nervous attempt to connect himself with the very widespread idea that self-sacrifice is the highest self-indulgence". Roland Leighton, who corresponded in Brookisms with his fiancée, Vera Brittain, turned against the poet when living "among this chaos of twisted iron and splintered timber and shapeless earth". Ivor Gurney wrote sonnets in 1917 "as a sort of counterblast" against Brooke.
Finding poetic forms that could grasp the horrors of the conflict was a task that many of the soldier-poets ultimately failed. This was partly because they were, temperamentally, English pastoralists who clung to familiar blank verse and ballad meter in an attempt to salvage a remnant of their bucolic idylls. Edmund Blunden's description of the village of Brielen as "the usual free-verse fandango of brick moulds and water-holes" is telling because, although he dismisses vers libre as an elaborate mess, he unwittingly admits that such destruction may be best captured in less formal verse.
However, these poets also wrote as they did because they were still playing antebellum literary politics. Writers in the trenches sought affirmation from men such as Edward Marsh, the chastely doting impresario of Georgian poetry, and Robbie Ross, the cherisher of Oscar Wilde's legacy. Brooke, Sassoon, Graves, Thomas and later Wilfred Owen gravitated towards these arbiters. Ricketts circles within this orrery of poets and patrons. Unfortunately, that distracts his attention from the two finest poets of the Great War: Isaac Rosenberg and David Jones.
Rosenberg was tangentially connected to the Georgians (Marsh had bought some of his paintings), but Jones stood far beyond their sphere. Indeed, he did not start writing poetry until a decade after the war. Rosenberg was Jewish, working class and short. Jones was Welsh and lower middle class. Both were removed from the public-school homoeroticism that characterised the relationships of Marsh's protégés; and both, perhaps significantly, were rank and file, and so spent more time in the trenches. They created, in very different ways, a jagged poetry that comprehended, in Rosenberg's words, the "jagged fire" of battle.
Ricketts's approach more successfully shows that the poetry of the war did not simply emerge from the carnage-harrowed minds of individual poets, but through mutual encouragement and rivalry. And he is perceptive about the falling-off once battle had ended. When Graves published Good-Bye to All That in 1929, he and Blunden and Sassoon squabbled about exactly who did what when to whom. Robert Nichols, who inexplicably achieved enormous celebrity in 1917, spiralled into a mediocrity of limp satire and socialist agitprop. And Sassoon ossified into a living cenotaph. Ironically, the war made the greatest impression on the poetry of Yeats, Eliot and Pound, none of whom fought in it.

Abstract 18436: Systems Biology Identifies a Gene Driving Expression of Metabolic Syndrome in Lyon Rats
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a collection of co-occurring complex disorders including obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. The Lyon Hypertensive (LH) and Lyon Normotensive (LN) rats are models of MetS sensitivity and resistance, respectively. To identify genetic loci influencing phenotypes underlying MetS, an F2 intercross between LH and LN was studied to identify physiological quantitative trait loci (pQTL) contributing to plasma lipid and leptin levels, blood pressure, and body weight/adiposity. We performed mRNA-seq in F2 rats to identify the loci regulating gene expression, or expression (e)QTL, followed by gene expression network analyses. Systems biology methods were applied to identify candidate MetS genes, including genes previously shown to be MetS-related. We found an eQTL hotspot on RNO17, which was also located within pQTLs for MetS-related traits. The genes regulated by this eQTL hotspot were mainly in two co-expression network modules (a mitochondria related module and a gene regulation related module) and causally affect many MetS-related traits. Multiple evidences strongly and consistently support RGD1562963, a gene regulated in cis by this eQTL hotspot as the eQTL driver gene directly affected by genetic variation between LH and LN rats. Our study sheds light on the intricate pathogenesis of MetS and that systems biology with high-throughput sequencing is a powerful method to study the etiology of complex multifactorial diseases.

London's fringe theatre scene is vibrant but obviously production values are far lower than in the bigger theatres and quality varies.
This means that tickets are very cheap: expect to pay an average of £12, with concessions available at every venue. Large ensemble productions will occasionally charge more then £15 a ticket.
See our guide to the capital's best fringe venues to find out more. In addition the following venues have ongoing offers:
Fringe theatre ticket offers
Tickets increase in price week on week. Mid-run, you're looking at about £20 regular/ £16 concessions; for the final week £22/ £18 concessions. Low price tickets for under 30s for the first week of a main show run. People who live in Kensington and Chelsea also get a discount on the first Saturday of each main run. Both to be booked online. It's worth noting that the Finborough is probably the best and most consistent fringe venue in London.
Another of London's enterprising subterranean venues, Southwark Playhouse has established itself as the go-to place for exciting, inventive theatre and musicals. Their £50 Pay As You Go subscription offers the subscriber five tickets to any show at any point in the show's run.

New survey: How to Win Trust and Loyalty
Stop for a moment to think of your own buying habits. What makes you loyal to a brand? Has that changed over time? How persuaded are you to be disloyal if a better offer comes along?
These are questions addressed by a new survey from Pure360 and the DMA (Direct Marketing Association). Whilst it ‘only’ covers retail, personal technology and media/entertainment, the findings are genuinely thought-provoking for anyone trying to increase customer engagement. And that’s all of us, right?
To give you a flavour, here are a few points that resonated with me:
Read the survey for yourself
- We’re becoming less loyal. We’re absolutely swayed by offers because we’re spoiled for choice.
- Consumers can be segmented according to behaviour into: active loyals, habitual loyals, situational loyals, and active disloyals. Understanding that it’s a whole lot more complex than just loyal, neutral or disloyal is really helpful.
- Seven drivers of loyalty emerged from this survey, from functional (quality/easy to use, etc) to brand charisma. But the drivers governing decisions differed depending on the nature of the purchase.
- Nobody wants loyalty points any more.
- Consumers justify their disloyalty partly because they don’t feel that it’s adequately rewarded (and points don’t cut it). This one, to my mind, is REALLY interesting. Could we be prioritising this more in our marketing? After all, we have loads of great quality content and authors, which should mean we can easily and cheaply offer customers something of real value.
. At 23pages and with plenty of visual charts this is a quick read and one which might just jolt you away from thinking about your audiences as job titles and remembering that they’re consumers too.

The problem is that secondary-impulse societies mistake their weaknesses for strengths--or, at any rate, virtues--and that's why they're proving so feeble at dealing with a primal force like Islam.

Stuart Jeffries’ profile of Jacqueline Rose, “Jacqueline Rose: a life in writing“, Guardian, Feb. 3, begins with a subtitle which manages to convey in less than 20 words much of what you need to know of Rose’s pseudo psychoanalysis of Zionism and the Jewish people.
‘Victimhood is something that happens but when you turn it into an identity you’re psychically and politically finished’
To understand why Rose is indeed talking about Zionist Jews being “psychically and politically finished” due to an “identity” of “victimhood”, you need to read a few of her choice musings on Israel and Jewry, but the answer is clear by the sixth passage of Jeffries’ essay.
After introducing Rose (recent author of, Proust Among the Nations: From Dreyfus to the Middle East) as a feminist, and “fearless” “psychoanalytic critic“…“ready to battle against those who hate her for daring to psychoanalyze Israel” [emphasis added], Jeffries quotes the author’s analysis of Israel:
[You] project on to the other the bits of yourself that you can’t stand, but the function is to utterly purify yourself of the feeling. So your innocence is a form of violence against others.”
Such a psychoanalysis of the Jewish state is nothing, however, compared to Rose’s previous diagnoses.
In her book, Question of Zion, Rose wrote, “We take Zionism to be a form of collective insanity” (p. 17), and suggests that those who embrace it are part of a group neurosis.
As Alvin Rosenfeld noted, in Progressive Jewish Thought and the New Antisemitism, Rose’s lexicon for Zionism and its errant ways in “Question of Zionism” include: “bloody,” “cataclysmic,” “cruel,” “deadly,” “apocalyptic,” “blind,” “crazy,” “delusional,” “defiled,” “demonic,” “fanatical,” “insane,” and “mad.”
Zionism appears, to Rose, to be nightmarish, ruthless and deranged, and specifically asks how “Israel [could] inscribe at its heart the very version of nationhood from which the Jewish people had to flee”?
To dispel any doubt that Rose is indeed evoking Nazism, she has written:
“The suffering of a woman on the edge of the pit with her child during the Nazi era…and a Palestinian woman refused access to a hospital through a checkpoint and whose unborn baby dies as a result, is the same”
Continuing with Rose’s theme of the traumatized, crazed Zionist Jew, Jeffries writes:
Rose was born in London in 1949 into a Holocaust-traumatized family. Her grandmother’s family perished in Chelmno concentration camp. Hers was, as she puts, “one type of North London Jewish survivor family who, to survive, internally entrenched itself in Jewish ritual“. [emphasis added]
Jeffries then quotes Rose describing her family’s evidently distorted, obtuse and myopic post-Holocaust traditional Judaism:
“It was observant and desperate that we continue the faith. There was no mixing of meat and milk, there were two sinks in the kitchen and if anything got mixed up it had to buried in the mud outside. [emphasis added]
Non-Jewish boyfriends were intolerable. [emphasis added]
A kosher kitchen and the desire to marry within the faith!
Respect for religious tradition, and a passion for Jewish continuity (a few years after the horrors of the Shoah): Clearly evidence of an entrenched, defensive, and traumatized people.
After the interview Rose emails me, hoping I can stress that she isn’t done with the Middle East conflict. She’s written four books dealing with that conflict and…there will be more. “As Edward Said wrote about getting involved in the Palestine-Israel conflict – once you’re in you’re there for life…You don’t say goodbye to this.”
And, as a Jewish writer who can – in an academic’s literary erudition, and a psychoanalyst’s cool, dispassionate sophistication – deride Zionism as a mental disorder, while boldly likening elements of the Jewish state’s ethos to Nazism, the Guardian will not soon be saying goodbye to Jacqueline Rose.

Only a few years into her music career Alicia Keys has won 11 Grammy Awards and sold over 40 million albums and singles. Sorta speaks volumes about this lady's talent, no? Though she is not one of those young performers who lip syncs and poses her way through her career she does have a glam side to her. Her wardrobe on this "As I Am" tour is designed by her 'personal' friend Georgio Armani. Goes to show that you can have talent, integrity and also dress well.
Keys is a classically trained pianist, who is also a talented producer and song writer. Possessing a strong singing voice, most of her songs have that 'old school' vibe while still managing to be fresh sounding, so she is a treat to go see live.
Her third studio and latest album "As I Am" has already sold 2.7 million copies and has spawned the successful singles "No One", "Like You'll Never See Me Again" and "Teenage Love Affair". Live you can expect to hear those songs along with other hits like "Fallin", "Karma", "If I Ain't Got You", and "You Don't Know My Name". She also has been known to knock it out of the park with the cover songs she has previously done like Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" and The Rolling Stones "Wild Horses", so you can also expect a cover or two.

700 Fewer Jobs in One Year’s Time: May 2014 to May 2015
June 21, 2015, Augusta, Maine – Maine is falling behind the rest of the nation in construction jobs. Recent employment statistics from AGC America ranked Maine 48th in the country for construction job growth. The ranking is a result of 700 fewer construction workers being employed at Maine companies compared to this time last year.
During the same time period our New England neighbors added jobs, with New Hampshire gaining 1,300, Massachusetts 4,700, and Vermont 500. “Falling behind the rest of nation is tough enough, but seeing our neighboring New England states adding jobs while Maine is losing them in large numbers is discouraging,” said Matthew Marks, CEO of The Associated General Contractors of Maine.
The downward trend continues a two-month slide as Maine joins only ten other states in the country that have seen job losses during this time of economic recovery. The six states that added the highest percentage of construction workers in the month of May alone were all in the Northeast, a region that has seen less growth in recent years than other parts of the country. “Maine is not only missing an opportunity to add jobs, but also the chance to address the laundry list of infrastructure projects that continues to grow in length,” said Marks.
This announcement comes on the heels of the state’s largest contractor announcing that they will hire 300 workers in order to meet private sector demand. “Being optimistic about the economy isn’t enough to ensure our state is fostering the future pool of skilled workers we will need when a decision is finally made to address the tremendous backlog of infrastructure challenges. We are at a crossroads and it’s time for a big investment in Maine. We certainly don’t want to fall to 50th in the country,” said Marks.
Chartered in 1951, the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of Maine is the state’s largest construction industry trade association. The Association maintains an office in Augusta and has 180 members statewide. Member companies include general contractors, sub-contractors, and service and supply providers.

GERD is meant to connect millions to power grid. Scholars’ in Norway present papers on GERD
ADDIS ABABA - Over sixty-million rural people who have no access to electricity are counting down the days to the first energy generation of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).
Ethiopian Common Forum in Norway held a discussion and paper presentation on GERD last Saturday in cooperation with the GERD Support Group in Norway.
In his keynote speech, Ethiopian Ambassador to Sweden and other Nordic countries Diriba Kuma said this in a forum envisaged to inform the Norwegian government, officials, journalists, and the Ethiopian community in Norway.
Diriba underscored that Abay (the Nile) touches 70 percent of the livelihood of the population of Ethiopia and represents 2/3 of Ethiopia’s surface water potential, while over 70 percent of energy generation potential is in this river.
Indicating that 25 million people of Ethiopia are living under the poverty line, and 65 million people of Ethiopia have no access to electricity, he said: “Our citizens are waiting for the completion of the dam.” The government of Ethiopia has taken practical steps to negotiate and discuss all important matters since the inception of the project as these are the way out of the dispute, he said, adding that the GERD has no significant impact on the flow of Nile to downstream countries.
He also expressed a strong belief that under the auspicious of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s leadership the three countries would resolve the outstanding issues. Elaborating on the rationale of the forum, Dr. Mulugeta Bereded Zelelew, one of the paper presenters, said Egypt’s attempt to internationalize the GERD project with massive media coverage has been with full of bias and misleading information.
Group of GERD support Team in Norway did analysis into the media coverage, and decided to lay bare Egyptian fabrications with scientific evidence, he added. In his paper, entitled:GERD Project and its Significance for Ethiopia and the Region, he refuted Egyptian claim which is presenting Ethiopia as it has abundant rainfall arguing that the rainfall in Ethiopia is erratic and rushes to the rivers due to the nature of the topography. Hence, there is little time for the water to infiltrate into the soil and remain as residual moisture for sufficient time. It is to be noted that the major rivers of Ethiopia are trans-boundary.
Under normal rainfall year, as much as 5 – 10 million or more Ethiopians are chronically food insecure, he said, adding that 80-85% of the total volume occurs during the major rainy season and water storages are necessary to prolong water availability. Concerning the view that GERD is “an existential threat” to downstream countries of the Nile, he said: “Historical records thought us that Egypt and Sudan which have high storage capacity per capita have more resilience to drought management.”
In severe multi-year droughts, a basinwide drought management plan is required to optimize the competing water uses in the three countries and the three countries should take a shared responsibility to mitigate drought, according to him.
For his part, Dr. Admasu Gebeyehu, Professor of Practice in Water Resources Engineering,indicated that the great majority, 92.4 percent, of the share of energy supply is waste and biomass. He said the share of oil and hydropower is 5.7 percent and 1.6 percent respectively.
The bulk of energy source, 98 percent, in Norway is electricity production from a renewable energy source, he said, noting that Norway is in a unique position in the global perspective while Ethiopia is also in the same position in an African perspective with regard to hydropower potential.
The difference between Ethiopia and Norway is, Norway has gone a lot in the production of energy while Ethiopia has started going through the same path, he added.He also put the contribution of Ethiopia to Nile which stands at 77 BCM or 86 percent of the waters of the Nile.
However, his analyses have proven that Ethiopia’s water storage is insignificant as compared to Sudan and Egypt. Egypt has the Aswan High Dam with a storage capacity of 149.5 BCM while a series of dams in Sudan have boosted the Sudanese storage capacity.
Senior Ugandan Water Engineer Dr. Emmanuel Jjunju (PhD) also presented his work titled: ‘Victoria And Albert Nile Countries’interests On Nile Water Resources’. Jjunju touched up on issues ranging from colonial agreements to the recent basin-wide document, the Cooperative Framework Agreement (CFA).
He said almost all Nile Basin countries are at low level in human development with an exception of Egypt. If you want to take all these countries to the level of Egypt, for instance, it requires the countries lot of work. And it cannot come by without energy.
As electricity is a very big driver of development, be it education, telecom or what have you, countries ought to do a lot in this regard.
Mentioning that hydropower is the most feasible and affordable source of energy to the countries such as Uganda, Burundi and Kenya, he said most of the hydro potential of Uganda, 6,950 MW, is within the Nile basin.
He added that his country, Uganda, go to expensive alternative sources of energy that cost 0.16-0.20 USD cents/ Kh which is not really affordable. The benefits of GERD to downstream countries was discussed thoroughly with the presentations of scientific evidence, it was learnt.

DC Studios co-CEO and filmmaker James Gunn has confirmed that the Elseworlds films are officially in development and will exist outside of the new DC Universe.
James Gunn confirms that the Elseworlds films in development are out of scope DC Universe. DC Studios replaces the DC Films division as Gunn and Peter Safran take over the DCU with TV, film, and animation. The CEO role went into effect on November 1st, and there have been endless reports of what they’re doing with the data controller. While Gunn has debunked various rumors, some reports have turned out to be true, such as Wonder Woman 3 No longer moving forward, Henry Cavill is being done as Superman in the DCU, with Gunn doing a new reboot of the hero. But there are still many things that haven’t been clarified yet, as DC Studios has popped into the headlines over the past few weeks.
Gunn has been responding on Twitter to many fans and shared some excitement about what DC Studios is doing with the DCU. A fan recently asked Gan if he was Produce any Elseworlds DC projects that are not in the DCU?In the age of DC Studios. It didn’t take long goblin to respond with an affirmative answer. Check out his response below:
Why Elseworlds Stories Help DC Studios TV and Movies
For those who may not know what it is, Elseworlds was a DC Comics publishing imprint focused on stories outside of the main comic continuity. This brand has brought to life iconic comic arcs, including DC Kingdom comeAnd the Gotham by Gaslight, and many more over the decades. Elseworlds was also a three-part Arrowverse crossover title in 2018, which was a great setup for Crisis on Infinite Earths. In subsequent years, Elseworlds has been primarily replaced by the DC Black Label imprint launched in 2018.
Although they did not call them Elseworlds, this designation mainly applies to Batman And the joker, Because they are independent franchises outside of the DCU. While a shared universe is clearly something they crave, with many Batman Pop-up in business and Joker 2 Now while filming, DC has also thrived when it comes to offering independent and self-contained movies and shows. It wouldn’t hurt the creators’ take on Elseworlds stories on the new console, instead, giving WBD more content for audiences to watch. canceled Strange Adventures The TV show was a project that could have helped them out, especially on the small screen. Kingdom come He seems like an obvious candidate, as Gunn has teased several times on social media that the arc may be a factor in his DC plans.
DC has always been successful as a comic book brand when it allows stories to exist in and outside of the main continuity. It gives different audience groups a chance to find something that connects with them personally if nothing else in the brand to them. This is another big reason why the Arrowverse and the DCU have been able to coexist for years at the same time, since if something doesn’t appeal to many fans of the films, there’s another universe they can take advantage of, and vice versa with the Arrowverse and the DCU. As 2022 approaches, we hope there will be more updates about the future DCU It’s 2023 and what Elseworlds-type projects they’re working on.

Branched chain amino acids are vital for the optimal functioning of the human body and CHAOS CREW BRING THE CHAOS provides you with them and it also contains caffeine and Eria Jarensis extract which increases the level of dopamine and noradrenaline in the brain and help to cope with fatigue and enhance concentration.
CHAOS CREW BRING THE CHAOS contains a wide variety of pro-health ingredients such as branched chain amino acids like:
• Beta alanine,
EFFECTS AND PROPERTIES
A single serving provides you with four grams of pure L-citrulline which makes up for eight grams of L-citrulline malate which is commonly used in dietary supplements. The citrulline boosts nitric oxide levels and dilates your blood vessels allowing more oxygen to be delivered to your muscles. The beta-alanine along with histidine produces carnosine which is a crucial part of muscle tissue. L-tyrosine is the amino acid that is the precursor to neurotransmitters such as dopamine and noradrenaline and assists the improvement of your mood and alertness. L-theanine can be found in green tea and can support feelings of calm, focus and promote productivity. L-norvaline is the amino acid that breaks down and removes arginine.
RECOMMENDED USE AND DOSAGE
We recommend that you take a single serving before your workout.

NPR’s David Folkenflik wonders, “Will Obama’s White House Be Open to the Media?” and taps the experience of reporters like Jeff Zeleny, formerly of the Chicago Tribune and now of the New York Times, who “say [Obama] used to seek out reporters eagerly” during his Illinois state Senate days and “remained expansive with reporters in Washington” after joining the Senate in 2004.
What does Zeleny expect now? Noting the ways the Obama campaign shared information online (YouTube, social networks) “to go around that [campaign press] filter,” as Folkenflik puts it, Zeleny says:
I think in this White House, you may once again have more information about the president and the administration than ever before. But I still think there will be fewer opportunities for questions and direct interaction with reporters and the president.

This year marks the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death. Though it’s been 400 years since the Bard stopped writing plays, inventing words, and punning up a storm, the Bard of Avon’s legacy is still as strong as ever. Shakespeare fans have no shortage of places from his life and work to make a pilgrimage to; if you need a starting place for your travels, here are 15 suggestions.
1. SHAKESPEARE’S BIRTHPLACE
Ben Pruchnie/Getty Images
Shakespeare was born and grew up in this house on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, in addition to spending the first five years of his marriage to Anne Hathaway (no, not that one) there. Actors perform Shakespeare live here, and costumed guides tell stories from his family life.
2. SHAKESPEARE’S SCHOOLROOM AND GUILDHALL
Shakespeare attended the King Edward VI School, aka K.E.S., from approximately 1571 to 1578, from the ages of 7 to 14. The school is still in operation, with the Guildhall open to the public since 2016. Visitors can explore the classroom where Shakespeare studied and take part in a Tudor-era lesson.
3. SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE
Oli Scarff/Getty Images
The actual Globe Theatre where Shakespeare’s plays were performed during his lifetime has been out of commission since, oh, the 1600s. In 1997, a recreation of the Globe—called Shakespeare’s Globe—opened in London, just a few hundred yards from the original site. Theatre is performed here, Shakespeare and otherwise, and there are educational events for “families, individuals, schoolchildren, scholars, Shakespeare lovers and Shakespeare skeptics.”
4. HAMPTON COURT PALACE
Whereas the original Globe is dead and gone, another venue where Shakespeare’s plays were performed during his lifetime is still standing: the Great Hall in Hampton Court Palace, where Shakespeare’s company, the King’s Men, set up shop for a stretch of time in the early 1600s. Aside from the Great Hall, visitors to Hampton Court Palace can see the Cumberland Art Gallery, the famous Hampton Court Maze, and the 450-year-old Chapel Royal.
5. JULIET’S BALCONY

Legend has it that a particular balcony in Verona is the very place where Romeo and Juliet had their famous tête-à-tête in Shakespeare’s most enduring romance. The house where the balcony is located used to be owned by the “Capello” family, and it’s the similarity of that name to “Capulet” that has made the balcony one of Verona’s most popular tourist attractions. There’s a bronze statue of Juliet in the courtyard outside, and people rub her right breast for luck, in addition to leaving love notes in the surrounding walls and doorways.
6. ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY
Since 1875, the Royal Shakespeare Company—then begun as the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre Ltd.—has been helping to keep the legacy of Willy S. alive. The company performs Shakespeare and non-Shakespeare plays alike year-round in the Royal Shakespeare and Swan Theatres, both in Shakespeare’s hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon.
7. FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY

If you want to get your Shakespeare on without venturing to the UK, another option is Washington, D.C.’s Folger Shakespeare Library, home to the world’s largest Shakespeare collection. Visitors can take advantage of multiple tours, including tours of the library’s famous reading rooms every Saturday.
8. KRONBORG CASTLE
Situated an hour north of Copenhagen is Kronborg Castle, which you may know by another name: Elsinore, a.k.a. the royal castle that was home to Hamlet, Gertrude, Claudius, and all their dead Danish friends. There’s some dispute as to whether Shakespeare ever visited Kronborg Castle, but we do know he set Hamlet there. A Shakespeare festival takes place there every summer, and there’s a daily tour titled “In Hamlet’s Footsteps.”
9. CHARLECOTE PARK
, on the banks of the River Avon, is said to be the site of one of Shakespeare’s youthful indiscretions: poaching deer. He was caught, legend has it, and brought before local magistrate Sir Thomas Lucy. Lucy is said to have been satirized in The Merry Wives of Windsor as the vain Justice Shallow, though academics by no means agree on that point. Deer still roam in Charlecote Park, which is a favored spot for picnics and birdwatching.
10. SMALLHYTHE PLACE
in Kent is of interest not just to Shakespeare fans, but to those interested in costumery as well. The house was once inhabited by Dame Alice Ellen Terry (1847-1928), one of the leading Shakespearean actresses of her time. Smallhythe Place is now host to 250 costumes worn by Tracy, which have been subject to meticulous conservation efforts.

Though “easy to miss, or dismiss,” Oxford’s Painted Room hides a little slice of Shakespearean history behind an unassuming facade. The Painted Room, so called for its Elizabethan wall paintings, is part of what used to be the Crown Tavern, owned by one John Davenant. A friend of Davenant’s, Shakespeare would stay in the Crown when traveling between London and Stratford-upon-Avon. He was also friendly with Davenant’s wife, Jane; one of the many rumors surrounding Shakespeare is that he was the father of one of Jane’s sons. The Painted Room is a part of local Shakespeare celebrations and can be visited year-round.
12. MACBETH TRAIL
The so-called “Macbeth Trail” (less a “trail” than a variety of locations spread throughout Scotland, so don’t try to walk it) gives Shakespeare enthusiasts a chance to visit some of the places critical to the life of the ambitious, murderous Macbeth—both the Shakespeare character and the actual historical figure on which he’s based. (There are some differences.) Among the locations are the grounds of Inverness Castle, where Macbeth lived; the heath surrounding the town of Forres, where Macbeth had his encounter with the three witches; and Macbeth’s Stone, which is said to mark the spot where the real Macbeth was executed by Malcolm Canmore in 1057.
13. SHAKESPEARE CLIFF

fans can visit Dover’s so-called “Shakespeare Cliff,” which is said to have inspired the scene in which the blind Earl of Gloucester is tricked into thinking he survived jumping from a miraculous height. Shakespeare’s description of the cliff matches the real-life version, and Shakespeare and his company visited Dover around the time he was probably writing Lear. Less touristy than other Shakespeare attractions, Shakespeare Cliff is a good spot for fishing or taking a stroll.
14. THE WILLOW GLOBE
If a trip to London to see Shakespeare’s Globe isn’t your speed, just outside of Llandrindod Wells, Wales is the Willow Globe, a scaled-down outdoor version of the Globe made of trees. Per its website, “The Willow has been carefully woven into an organic and spiritual theater, starkly sculptural in spring, which is almost completely absorbed by its lush, green surroundings in summer months.” A variety of events take place there from April through September, among them educational events and community and professional productions of Shakespeare plays.
15. THE LONDON STONE

The London Stone is one of England’s odder tourist attractions, due to the fact that no one really knows why it’s supposed to be a big deal. There are many theories about the stone’s importance, one laid out by Shakespeare himself, who included it in Henry VI, Part 2 as a sort of prop that rebel leader Jack Cade used to declare himself Lord of the City. Nowadays, you can visit the Stone at the Museum of London, where it’s taking a long-term vacation during renovations to its usual home on Cannon Street, where it typically sits behind a metal grille looking like nothing so much as … a moderately-sized stone. In London.

Stephens: Ryun Williams has earned an era of CSU basketball
There are a lot of ways we could describe Ryun Williams.
Coy, for one. Ask him why attendance is so poor for the best women’s basketball team CSU has seen in at least 15 years, he’ll redirect and praise the fans who do show up.
Resourceful is another. He’s built what’s about to be the three-time defending Mountain West champion by relying on blue-chip European prospects who were unaware of Colorado State University’s lack of national prominence.
We could call him demonstrative, particularly in those rare close games.
Might as well throw charismatic in there, too, assuming we’re listening to him do anything other than pitch Papa John’s Pizza.
STREAK: Colorado State wins program record 20th game in a row
What he’s not is arrogant. Nor is he modest. In less than four full seasons at CSU, he’s risen a phoenix from the house Tom Collen built and Jen Warden burned to ashes. He knows what he has. It might not be the best team in program history, but it’s up there. Somewhere ahead of 1999-2000 and behind 1998-99. That one with Becky Hammon, the CSU legend breaking gender barriers in the NBA who Williams and his players respect. But as far as her Sweet 16 team is concerned, quite frankly, they’re tired of hearing about.
“They must have been pretty good because everybody talks about that one team, that Becky Hammon team, that era,” Williams said. “So, do we get an era now? Give these kids an era?”
Era. That’s a big three-letter word. In order to earn one, your team has to sustain such incredible long-term failure, there’s no other way to group the losing seasons, or you wins championships.
Jim McElwain never had an era at CSU. He had three seasons with two bowl berths and never won a divisional title. Dale Layer had an era. And, despite the Rams’ miracle run to the 2003 NCAA tournament, it wasn’t the good kind.
With CSU’s 91-64 win against Utah State on Wednesday, setting a program record with its 20th consecutive victory (surpassing the mark set by the 98-99 Rams), perhaps it is time to commemorate a new era of women’s basketball in Fort Collins. CSU (23-1, 13-0 MW) has won back-to-back Mountain West titles and is four wins shy of wrapping up a third.
“I guess when you break a record and one compares you to somebody as amazing as Becky Hammon and her team and how amazing they were, I guess we are kind of starting our new era. And I hope that people are noticing, and we can get people in our gym supporting us,” said CSU senior Jamie Patrick, who scored a game-high 26 points Wednesday. “If not this year, then definitely next year because we’re definitely building something here, and we want to continue doing that.”
The problem in defining this era, though, resides in knowing what this era is and what Williams isn’t. He isn’t cocky, remember, and wouldn’t want this three-letter word to have his name in front of it. But in asking for an era, something the product of an 82-36 record during his tenure has earned, there’s no one else to name it after.
RAMS: Utah State downs CSU men
It was called the Becky Hammon era because she was the player who changed the program. Greg Williams got her to CSU (1995-98) and Collen polished her. But this year’s team doesn’t have a best player. No four-year star. Jamie Patrick and Ellen Nystrom are both worthy of being named Mountain West Player of the Year, and Keyora Wharry and Elin Gustavsson could be considered the Rams’ most valuable players.
But the person responsible for building this roster? And the bulk of the previous two teams? Williams.
“No, no. This is the Sam-Martin-Gritt-Ryder-AJ-Key-Ellen — this is their era,” Williams said. “We’ve got a great seat. This is absolutely their era.”
Part of it belongs to all of them. But the seat he watches from faces a show he produced. And it’s a great one.

Monday afternoon, as I was walking by a local marquee, I saw that Pat Benatar was playing that evening. I thought, wow! I love Pat Benatar! I started mentally going through songs, and then it came to me — “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” — and that voice! Yes, that iconic Pat Benatar voice.
Later, I was on my second round of work for the day. But, at about ten of eight, I checked online for Pat Benatar tickets and yup, there it was… a single ticket waiting for me. I bought it and took off to the local venue.
When I walked in, the band was just getting started, so I perused the venue, checking the scene. But something just didn’t look right. I wasn’t sure what it was, so I took some time to process. What struck me was that I was expecting a lot of older rockers, and what I was seeing was a much younger demographic —30s and 40s, and mostly women. Whooaaa, I was in a sea of beautiful women at a rock and roll concert. Was I dreaming? Having a past life experience? This is fun!
Nearby, there was a group of four girls standing by the bar. I told them I would buy them a drink if they would answer one question for me. So, I bought them each a drink, and then asked them, “Why are you here at a Pat Benatar Concert?” They huddled, compared notes, and then in unison blurted out “Because she is “Bad Ass!” I said, “Bad Ass, wow!”
I smiled, thanked them for the insight, and moved towards the front of the stage as Pat Benatar and her husband, guitar player Neil Giraldo, came on stage and started playing. Her voice was incredible. I couldn’t believe that it hadn’t seemed to age at all. I was really happy I chose seeing this concert versus going through emails for the evening.
The evening was great. I was just rocking along, song after song. Then she sang “Invincible”, and all of those women that I had talked to earlier where singing this out loud. I listened to the lyrics:
“We can’t afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It’s a do or die situation, we will be invincible.”
And I said to myself, wow, Pat Benatar is bad ass! She is a rebel. Then thought about the songs I was going to hear like “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”, “Heartbreaker”, “All Fired Up” —and it felt really good. Here is a women who is a beacon, a true north to all of these women, this is just fantastic.
But that is not the real story here. After everyone sang “Invincible”, Pat Benatar went over and kissed her husband Neil on the cheek and said, “This is our 35th anniversary tour.” Everyone cheered, and I thought, wow, 35 years! And then it came to me, why it felt so right and felt so good, in this standing-room-only concert. I couldn’t get the phrase “bad ass” out of my head.
Then I remembered that “Invincible” was the theme song for “The Legend of Billy Jean”, which was a mid-80s movie about a women who stood up to harassment. Then it hit me again, Pat Benatar is a “bad ass.”
I continued to enjoy the music, and when it couldn’t have gotten any better… she sang “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” and the place went crazy! I was rocking along with a big smile, and again, so happy to be in this happy place.
It finally became so clear to me, why I was there. It was because this women and her husband have been doing what they love for 35 years. Yes, imagine if you and all your friends did what you loved for the next 35 years. What if you loved what you did so much you couldn’t wait to get on stage or into your next meeting? What if you couldn’t wait to do your next business plan or your next budget?
Yes, that was the true message here. When you do what you love, you don’t age. And when you do what you love, you never work a day. What if today, and for the rest of your life, you did nothing but what you love… without compromise.
Pat Benatar is a women who is doing what she loves and doing it her way. A women who busted through the men’s club of rock and roll, that was the real message. She is someone who stood up to an entire industry, singing songs with meaning, and who, in this very moment, is an inspiration to me and to everyone else in that venue.
I said to myself that night, and I ask you now… are you only going to do what you love, starting today, and for the next 35 years? If you only did what you love, starting today, how would you plan your day out? What would you do? I will never forget what I learned, and the reminder from Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo to do what you love.
Then I started to think about the women that I had talked to at the beginning of the concert, and I wondered how many of them are doing what they love? I had much hope that they are, and that they will continue, because they where absolutely right. Pat Benatar is a “bad ass,” doing what she loves.

JERUSALEM — With tensions growing in the West Bank town of Hebron, peace talks between Israel and the PLO stalled again Monday and President Clinton's envoy announced he was leaving the region after failing to clinch a deal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat for the failure to reach agreement over the long-delayed redeployment of most Israeli troops outside the volatile city.
Arafat, who flew to Norway to get what he called "another push from outside" for peace, denied Netanyahu's charge and accused Israel of "making new conditions every day" that undermine the talks.
Palestinian officials also accused Netanyahu's government of trying to renegotiate agreements already signed by the PLO and the previous Israeli government.
Talks and contacts are expected to continue this week without Clinton's special Mideast coordinator, Dennis Ross, present to broker them, and senior representatives for both sides disputed the notion that the negotiations had broken down.
Still, after three weeks of intensive U.S.-mediated bargaining, negotiating positions on both sides seem to have hardened to an impasse that leaves the future of Israel-PLO peacemaking in doubt.
Both sides are concerned about the potential for renewed violence as talks drag on and tensions continue in Hebron. The city holy to Jews, Muslims and Christians, believed to be the biblical resting place of the patriarch Abraham, has a long history of bloodshed. Some of the most militant Jewish settlers in the West Bank live there. It also is a stronghold for Muslim extremists.
On Monday, Israel's public security minister, Avigdor Kahalani, said police are concerned that Jewish extremists might try to carry out an attack to scuttle the Israeli troop withdrawal.
As the talks limped along, Israeli forces in the nearby village of Hussan fired tear gas and rubber bullets at Palestinian stone-throwers after a 10-year-old boy from the village died in an Israeli hospital Monday.
The boy died a day after a West Bank settler allegedly beat him unconscious, believing he had been throwing stones at Israeli cars near Bethlehem, according to Israel Radio. A settler detained in connection with the death denied hitting the boy.
Jewish settlers from Hebron appealed to Netanyahu to safeguard their security, arguing that they would be targets for Arab snipers after a partial troop pullback. But Palestinians complained that Hebron settlers were shooting at Arab houses in the city Sunday.
"There is a language of extremism emerging. The settlers feel they can defy and challenge the law and take matters into their own hands unilaterally," warned Hanan Ashrawi, minister of higher education in Arafat's self-rule government, who feels the peace process is in jeopardy.
On another front, security sources confirmed Monday a published report that defense chiefs have told Netanyahu that the army needs an estimated $1.07 billion to prepare for the increased chance of war with Syria.
Since Netanyahu's hard-line government took power in June, Syria has moved troops and held military exercises near the disputed Golan Heights. Meanwhile, U.S.-brokered Israel-Syria talks have not resumed.
Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak Mordechai said Monday that Syria is considering a possible military action but that Israel still hopes to draw Damascus back into peace talks.
Arab nations have been sharply critical of Netanyahu, and they view the Hebron redeployment as a litmus test of his intentions toward peace.
Ross, in announcing his departure from the talks, said, "In view of the fact that Chairman Arafat is departing today for scheduled stops in Europe, I am returning to Washington for consultations with Secretary (of State Warren) Christopher.
"Over the past three weeks, we have made substantial progress in these negotiations on the very difficult issues involved in redeployment," said Ross, noting that accords had been reached on civil-affairs issues and gaps have narrowed on security concerns.
"However, differences remain," he added, noting that U.S. Ambassador Martin Indyk and the U.S. consul general in Jerusalem, Edward Abington, would continue to mediate the talks in his absence and that he would return to help complete the negotiations.
Referring to the Sept. 25-27 gun battles between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian police, along with rioting, that killed at least 75 people, Ross said that "violence created enormous distrust and suspicion between Israelis and Palestinians and threatened the very fabric of the peace process."
Clinton held an emergency summit in Washington earlier this month to get Netanyahu and Arafat talking. The resulting three weeks of negotiations, Ross said, have helped the two sides "rebuild trust and confidence in each other."

The new building, officially called the Comcast Technology and Innovation Center, was designed by the renowned British architect Lord Norman Foster. The new building will be Philadelphia’s tallest skyscraper and the 8th tallest in America.
The tower will primarily contain office space for Comcast, NBC10, Telemundo 62, and other tech companies. Foster + Partners have designed the building with largely uninterrupted floor plates, drawing inspiration from the loft-like open workspaces favored by tech startups. The building's upper 13 floors will house a new, smaller incarnation of the Four Seasons Hotel. The lobby will feature a restaurant and there will be new concourse connections to SEPTA’s Suburban Station. Comcast currently occupies 90% of the Comcast Center (which officially opened in 2008) and leases other space in the city, so this project will allow the company to both grow and consolidate operations.
The $1.2 billion project cost includes a combined $40 million in state and city grants. Comcast-owned NBC10 and the Inquirer reported that these public investments will be used to pay for public infrastructure improvements like the SEPTA concourse extension.
Construction is anticipated to begin in fall 2014, and be completed in 2017.
Last fall Hidden City Daily’s Brad Maule, Mr. Philly Skyline, first reported the rumor that Foster + Partners would be the design firm behind a new Comcast building, if the project were to move forward.
Ashley Hahn is an independent writer with a background in historic preservation and city planning. She started Eyes on the Street for PlanPhilly in 2011 and was PlanPhilly's managing editor from 2015-2017. Ashley has lived in 12 zip codes that she can think of, including neighborhoods in Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and New York. She is a Philadelphian by choice.

Netflix has never been shy about shelling out the big bucks to get what they want, and Deadline has reported that the streaming service is nearing a deal to acquire Passing, a drama written and directed by Rebecca Hall that recently debuted at the Sundance Film Festival.
According to Deadline’s sources, the deal will likely land at around $15.75 million, which is definitely a big chunk of change. Passing is set during the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s and stars Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga as Irene and Clare, two mixed-race women who were once childhood friends and have now reunited as adults when they discover that they now live on opposite sides of the colour line. Clare (Negga) “passes” as white and is married to John (Alexander Skarsgard), a racist man who has no idea of his wife’s true heritage, while Irene (Thompson) is married to Brian (Andre Holland), a doctor. The film examines racial identity and how the nature of those identities impact us. Rebecca Hall wrote the script based on the novel by Nella Larson and made her feature directorial debut with the film.
Our own Chris Bumbray recently reviewed Passing, calling it a “delicate, beautifully done film,” and also praised Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga, who are “exceptional in their highly nuanced roles.” You can check out the rest of Bumbray’s review right here. Passing debuted at the Sundance Film Festival on January 30th, but it’s not yet known when Netflix would release the film.

ContactDPI Media Line, (608) 266-3559
MADISON — The Department of Public Instruction announced today that Wisconsin received a multi-million dollar federal grant to aid in improving access and collaboration in its public libraries.
As part of the Library Services and Technology Act’s 2020 Grants to States program, Wisconsin received a $3,011,929 allocation to achieve goals prioritized in the 2018-22 Five-Year Plan. The funding is an increase from the awards Wisconsin received during 2019 ($2,917,382) and 2018 ($2,879,721).
“Local libraries are at the heart of the communities they serve, and are an important resource for learning and providing opportunities,” State Superintendent Carolyn Stanford Taylor said. “These federal grant funds will help Wisconsin’s libraries improve partnerships with the communities they serve, and continue providing equitable and inclusive services.”
Funding will specifically be used to further collaboration between public libraries and school libraries, implement recommendations to improve services and access for library visitors, and continue providing statewide services such as the interlibrary loan program and individualized consultation.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services, which administers the Library Services and Technology Act, is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s libraries and museums. In 2018, the DPI, as Wisconsin’s State Library Administrative Agency, published a comprehensive report presenting the needs, goals, activities, and assurances for administering the state’s Library Services and Technology Act.
