text:
Jacques Derrida (July 15, 1930 – October 8, 2004) was an Algerian-born French literary critic and philosopher of Jewish descent, most often referenced as the founder of "deconstruction". His work had a significant impact on continental philosophy and on literary theory, particularly through his long-time association with the literary critic Paul de Man; though the reception of deconstruction in literary criticism is not universally agreed to be consonant with Derrida's work. Derrida also referenced analytic philosophy in his work, particularly the work of J. L. Austin.
More broadly, his work is often associated with post-structuralism and postmodernism, although Derrida never used the latter term, and other scholars within deconstruction such as Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe have characterized themselves as modernist rather than postmodern in tendency.

Derrida grew up in El-Biar, Algeria. As a young student, he was expelled from his lycée by Algerian administrators zealous to implement antisemitic quotas set by the Vichy government. He skipped school for a year rather than attend the Jewish lycée formed by displaced teachers and students. Following this, his family moved to France in 1949 to advance his secondary education, remaining until 1962 when they moved to Nice.
Beginning in 1952, Derrida was a student at the elite École Normale Superieure (ENS), where he studied under Michel Foucault and Louis Althusser, among others. After studies at the Husserl Archive in Leuven, Belgium, completion of his philosophy agrégation, Derrida became a lecturer there. During the Algerian War of Independence, Derrida asked to teach soldiers' children in lieu of military service, teaching French and English from 1957 to 1959. Following the war, from 1960 to 1964, Derrida taught philosophy at the Sorbonne, and from 1964 to 1984 he taught at the École Normale Superieure. He completed his Thése d'État (roughly the equivalent of a doctoratal thesis) in 1980; the work was subsequently published in English translation as "The Time of a Thesis: Punctuations". Until his death he was director of studies at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris. He was also a founder and the first president of the International College of Philosophy (French acronym: CIPH), a research institution intended to give a place to philosophical researches which could not be carried out elsewhere in the academy.
Beginning with his 1966 lecture at Johns Hopkins University, at which he presented his essay "Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences" (see below), he travelled widely and held a series of visiting and permanent positions, particularly in American universities. From 1986 on he was Professor of the Humanities at the University of California, Irvine, which has a major archive of his manuscripts.
Derrida was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and received the 2001 Adorno-Preis. He was awarded honorary doctorates by Cambridge University, Columbia University, the New School for Social Research, University of Essex, University of Leuven, and Williams College.
In 2003, Derrida was diagnosed with aggressive pancreatic cancer, which reduced his speaking and travelling engagements. He died in a Parisian hospital on the evening of Friday, October 8, 2004 (BBC story).
Derrida's earliest work was in phenomenology. His earliest academic manuscript for a degree was a work on Edmund Husserl and "genesis", submitted in 1954 and much later published as The Problem of Genesis in Husserl's Phenomenology. In 1962 he published a translation of Husserl's Foundations of Geometry, for which he wrote a lengthy introduction entitled "The Origin of Geometry".
Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences
Derrida's first major contribution to the international academic community came with his paper "Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences," delivered at a conference at Johns Hopkins University in 1966. The conference was billed as a consideration of structuralism, then at the peak of its influence in France but only then becoming familiar to academic audiences in the United States, particularly departments of French and Comparative Literature, where faculty were least dependent on the lengthy process of translating monographs. Derrida was remarkable among invitees in that he never had orthodox commitments to structuralism and had offered papers critical of structuralist scholarship as early as 1963.
Derrida's lecture was written with words of praise for structuralist accomplishment and reservations about its internal limitations. This contributed to a sense that the labours of structuralism had moved on to a point where structuralism wasn't itself anymore, supporting subsequent declarations that many of the same people who had contributed to structuralism were now rather producing "post-structuralism". The fallout from Derrida's paper was such that by the time the conference proceedings were published in 1970, the title of the collection had become The Structuralist Controversy.
The conference was also of personal note to Derrida, being where he met Paul de Man, who would be a close friend and source of great controversy, as well as where he first met the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan.
Derrida's work consistently demonstrated an interest in all the disciplines under discussion at the Baltimore conference, as was evidenced by the subject matter of the three collections of work published in 1967, Of Grammatology, Writing and Difference, and Speech and Phenomena, which contained essay-length studies of philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Ferdinand de Saussure, Husserl, Levinas, Heidegger, Hegel, Foucault, Georges Bataille and Descartes, anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, Sigmund Freud, and writers such as Edmond Jabes and Antonin Artaud. The next five years of lectures and essay-length work were gathered into two 1972 collections, Dissemination and Margins of Philosophy, at which time a collection of interviews titled Positions was also released.
On March 14th, 1987, Derrida first presented at CIPH the lecture, initially titled "Heidegger: Open Questions," published with revisions as Of Spirit (the French title Heidegger et la Question: De l'esprit et autres essais makes very pointed reference to the burned book De l'esprit by Helvétius and mockery of Heidegger's reference to "French rationalism" in his famous Spiegel interview "Only a God can save us now"). Of Spirit demonstrates, in response to the controversy over Heidegger's Nazism, the transformation of Derrida's active philosophical inheritance. The work is headlined by Derrida's tracing of the shifting role of Geist (spirit) through Heidegger's work. Reconnecting in a number of respects with previous work on Heidegger (such as "The Ends of Man" in Margins of Philosophy) Derrida reconsiders three other fundamental and recurring elements of Heideggerian philosophy which span the corpus: the distinction between man and animal, technology, and the privilege of questioning as the essential mode of philosophy.
Starting in 1972, Derrida produced on average more than a book per year. He was said to have released more work in 2003 than in any other year. He was so prolific that there is no current bibliography of his work that might be firmly described as complete.
Main Article: Deconstruction
The 1966 paper, in addition to establishing Derrida's international reputation, marked the starting point of what is both Derrida's most significant and least-understood concept, deconstruction. Much of the mystique and confusion surrounding deconstruction stems from Derrida's insistence on not allowing the concept to be immune to its own critiques. Which is to say that Derrida took pains to make deconstruction as impossible to essentialize as deconstruction made everything else.
At its core, if it can be said to have one, deconstruction is an attempt to open a text (literary, philosophical, or otherwise) to a range of meanings and interpretations. Its method is usually to take what Derrida calls binary oppositions within a text - rigidly defined pairs of opposites like good/evil or male/female - and show that they are not as rigidly defined as it first seems, that the two opposed concepts are in fact fluid, then to use this newfound ambiguity to show that the text's meaning is similarly fluid. The result is to find often strikingly new interpretations of texts, both philosophical and literary - to the point where Derrida's supporters claim his work consists entirely of meticulous readings that find philosophy anew.
Derrida's practice of reading raises the question of the relationship between deconstruction and literary theory. Within literary studies, deconstruction is often treated as a particular method of reading - in explicit contrast to Derrida's claims that deconstruction is an "event" within a text, not a method of reading the text. Despite this apparent contradiction, the literary sensibilities of Derrida cannot be ignored, as many of his own deconstructions were of poems and literary texts.
Further, deconstruction's sensitivities to philosophical efforts at defining limits have been taken by some to imply a deconstructive agenda for the ultimate reversal of order. This agenda would cover: philosophy's claim to be the first of all academic disciplines; holding out hopes of uniting all; delineating what is proper to each as they remain apart; and expelling from itself non-philosophy (via judgements which irreducibly take part in violence and hinge on matters of interpretation made through language). This has been seen as the privilege of the non-serious and the literary over a humbled philosophy.
Although its influence on literary studies is probably the most well known and well-reported effect of deconstruction, its roots are more philosophical than literary, although it is also tied to distinct but abutting academic disciplines such as linguistics and anthropology (called the "human sciences" in France). Derrida's examination of the latter's philosophical foundations, both conceptual and historical, and their continued reliance on philosophical argument (whether consciously or not), was an important aspect of his thought. Among his foremost influences are Edmund Husserl, Sigmund Freud, and Martin Heidegger. Heidegger in particular was a major influence on Derrida - he claims in his "Letter to a Japanese Friend" (Derrida and Differance, eds. Robert Bernasconi and David Wood) that the word "déconstruction" was his attempt both to translate and re-appropriate for his own ends the Heideggerian terms 'Destruktion' and 'Abbau' via a word from the French language, the varied senses of which seemed consistent with his requirements.
This relationship with the Heideggerean term was chosen over the Nietzschean term "demolition", as Derrida shared with Heidegger an interest in renovating philosophy to allow it to treat increasingly fundamental matters. In this regard, he moves beyond Heidegger in a significant way. While Heidegger passes through Nietzsche, Hegel, Kant, Descartes, Aquinas, Aristotle, Plato, and Parmenides, and finds their work wanting where the question of Being is concerned, Derrida prefers to mine the heterogenous nature of their works - indeed, his reading of Plato in Dissemination is among his best-known and most important readings.
Derrida received the 2001 Adorno Prize, named after Theodor Adorno. In accepting this award, Derrida noted both differences and affinities with Adorno. Their treatment of aporia was noted as an affinity. Aporia comes from the Greek απορια (from α-πορος) meaning "the impassable". The aporetic was a recurring structure for Derrida: Derrida strived to render as determinate as possible an interpretation, finding a series of "undecidable" decisions between a series of determinate constructions of interpretations. These passages through impossible decisions are unavoidable, according to Derrida, and potentially lead to a model of responsibility. Derrida views this as the point to which philosophy should aspire. In Derrida's view, philosophy would like to deliver its complete system, here and now: its absolute work made manifest to its reader, the end of philosophy being the end of philosophy.
The idea of aporia is carried over in other deconstructive readings - particularly those of Paul de Man, whose readings of poems were known for concluding that the poems ended in an aporia.
Criticism of Derrida
Derrida is criticised heavily for his influences and associations. In particular, the involvement of Martin Heidegger (see above) and Paul de Man (see below) with National Socialism and its Belgian collaborators is frequently argued to be a series of morally reprehensible acts for which Derrida either fails to account or in fact apologises. Such criticisms are generally aligned with a broader charge that deconstruction is a form of nihilism that attempts to undermine ethical and intellectual norms vital to the academy, if not Western civilisation. Perhaps most prominent among these critics is Richard Wolin. Wolin ran afoul of Derrida by publishing what Derrida argued was a demonstrably "execrable" mistranslation of a Derrida interview on Heidegger "in a book [''The Heidegger Controversy''] that, as is my right, I judge to be weak, simplistic, and compulsively aggressive". As French law requires the consent of an author to translations and such permission was not given, Derrida insisted that the interview not appear in any subsequent editions or reprints. Columbia University Press subsequently refused to offer reprints or new editions, and the book was offered in later editions without the Derrida interview by the MIT Press. The matter achieved additional public exposure owing to a friendly review of Wolin's book by Thomas Sheehan, entitled "A Normal Nazi" and appearing in the New York Review of Books, in which Sheehan characterised Derrida's protests as an imposition of censorship. It was followed by an exchange of letters. ,
Supporters of Derrida suggest that the major substance of these critiques is circular — that they propose a system of evaluating philosophy that is antithetical to Derrida, and then criticize Derrida for not adhering to it. They are further criticized for being based on popular understandings of Derrida, rather than on Derrida's work. The reliance on received understanding of Derrida's work in such cases may be motivated in part by the difficulty of Derrida's texts, many of which are written in a style that does not resemble conventional philosophical prose, including polylogues and parallel texts presented in varied page layouts, which has itself drawn objection. Derrida remarked on this:
- You also asked me, in a personal way, why people are angry at me. To a large extent, I don't know. It's up to them to answer. To a small extent I know; it is not usually because people are angry at me personally (well, it happens in private, perhaps); but rather they are angry at what I write. They are angry at my texts more than anything else, and I think it is because of the way I write — not the content, or the thesis. They say that I do not obey the usual rules of rhetoric, grammar, demonstration, and argumentation; but, of course, if they were simply not interested, they would not be angry. As it is, they start to get involved but feel that it's not that easy, that to read my texts they have to change the rules, to read differently, if only at another rhythm. ("Following Theory", p. 17, in life.after.theory, eds. Michael Payne and John Schad)
In 1992 the University of Cambridge awarded an honorary doctorate to Derrida, despite strenuous opposition from its Philosophy Faculty. Twenty philosophers from other institutions, including W. V. Quine and Ruth Barcan Marcus, signed a letter to protest the award, maintaining that Derrida's work "does not meet accepted standards of clarity and rigor" and describing his philosophy as being composed of "tricks and gimmicks similar to those of the Dadaists." Derrida replied that the letter embarrasses itself immediately, transgressing banal standards of "clarity and rigor" by citing examples ("logical phallusies") which are not to be found in his work except suspended in quotation marks.
An obituary of Derrida by Jonathan Kandell in The New York Times titled "Jacques Derrida, Abstruse Theorist, Dies at 74" (10-Oct-2004) was criticized by many academics as being excessively critical, and a letter of objection was signed online by several thousand persons. (The same paper also published two much more sympathetic assessments of Derrida's work: "The Man Who Showed Us How to Take the World Apart" (11-Oct-2004) by Edward Rothstein and "What Derrida Really Meant" (14-Oct-2004) by Mark C. Taylor.)
Finally, Derrida is a popular scapegoat of the American conservative movement in their critiques of a perceived leftist bias in universities. These critiques are, in many ways, less critiques of Derrida than of universities — he is generally invoked as someone so self-evidently absurd that no further argument need be made — the mere fact that English departments rely on Derrida is taken as clear proof of their flaws. Needless to say, most within the academy find these critiques excessively reductive.
Derrida was not known to have participated in any conventional electoral political party until 1995, when he joined a committee in support of Lionel Jospin's (by then the stepfather of Daniel, his son with Sylviane Agacinski) Socialist candidacy, although he expressed misgivings about such organizations going back to Communist organizational efforts while he was a student at ENS. In the last presidential election he refused to vote in the run-off between Jean-Marie Le Pen and Jacques Chirac, citing a lack of acceptable choices. He was initially supportive of Parisian student protesters in May 1968 but later withdrew. He registered his objections to the Vietnam War in delivering "The Ends of Man" in the United States. In 1981 he was arrested by the Czechoslovakian government on leaving a conference in Prague that lacked government authorization, falsely charged with the "production and trafficking of drugs" he claimed were planted as he visited Kafka's grave. He was released (or "expelled" as the Czechoslovakian government put it) after the interventions of the Mitterrand government, returning to Paris on 2 January 1982. He was active in cultural activities against the Apartheid government of South Africa and on behalf of Nelson Mandela beginning in 1983. He met with Palestinian intellectuals during a 1988 visit to Jerusalem. He was active in the collective "89 for equality", which campaigned for the right of immigrants to vote in local elections. He protested the death penalty, dedicating his seminar in his last years to the production of a non-utilitarian argument for its abolition, and was active in the campaign to free Mumia Abu-Jamal. While supportive of the American government in the wake of 9/11, he opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Beyond these explicit political interventions, however, the political, particularly the idea of the nation - was continually central to his philosophy. Derrida noted in the "Ends of Man" that his ability to remark freely on the Vietnam War was a prerequisite to his attendance at American colloquia -- an exception underscoring the national rule. Not out of diplomatic concerns about offending the American "delegation", but because the democratic form (Derrida's emphasis and choice of words) of the event assumed an instability of these national identities, or rather non-identities, and it is with those Americans opposed to the war that Derrida wanted to state his solidarity, to assert that these so-called identities, frequently assumed, do not exist in fact. (The events of April and May 1968: commencement of the Paris peace talks, the 1968 American election, the assassination of Martin Luther King, and the later events of May 1968, particularly in Paris, led Derrida to mark off "democratic form", a certain obtuseness of governments to these phenomena.)
Derrida and his peers
In addition to de Man and Lyotard, his approximate contemporaries, many of whom were philosophic allies and friends, included Michel Foucault, Louis Althusser, Emmanuel Levinas, Maurice Blanchot, Gilles Deleuze, Jean-Luc Nancy, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Sarah Kofman, Hélène Cixous, Bernard Stiegler, and Geoffrey Bennington.
Paul de Man
Main article: Paul de Man
Perhaps the most known friendship of Derrida's intellectual life was his friendship with Paul de Man. This friendship became the source of one of Derrida's most criticized essays, "Like the Sound of the Sea Deep Within a Shell: Paul de Man's War," published in the journal Critical Inquiry following de Man's death. The occasion of the essay was a controversy that erupted when it was discovered that de Man had written essays in a pro-Nazi newspaper during the German occupation of France, including several that were explicitly anti-Semetic.
Derrida's essay is a defense of de Man, with its main claim being that one cannot simply define all of de Man's work in light of some newspaper articles from his 20s, arguing that any claims about de Man as a whole must take de Man's work as a whole into account. The essay becomes controversial, however, for a short section - about five pages in length, out of over 40 in the article - in which Derrida applies deconstruction to de Man's essays. This section, read by many as attempting to argue that de Man's essays did not contain the anti-Semetic sentiments that they were generally seen as obviously containing, was widely criticized, leading to a subsequent issue of Critical Inquiry being filled almost entirely by responses to Derrida, and his subsequent response to them.
Geoffrey Bennington, Avital Ronell and Samuel Weber belong to a group of translators, many of whom are esteemed thinkers in their own right, with whom Derrida worked in a collaborative arrangement, allowing his prodigious output to be translated in a timely fashion. Having started as a student of de Man, Gayatri Spivak took on the translation of Of Grammatology early in her career and has since revised it into a second edition. Alan Bass was responsible for several early translations; Bennington and Peggy Kamuf have continued to produce translations of his work for nearly twenty years. With Bennington, Derrida undertook the challenge published as Derrida, an arrangement in which Bennington attempted to provide a systematic explication of Derrida's work (called the Derridabase) using the top two-thirds of every page, while Derrida was given the finished copy of every Bennington chapter and the bottom third of every page in which to show how deconstruction exceeded Bennington's account (this was called the Circumfession). Virtually all of the aforementioned translators have produced essays and book-length manuscripts on Derrida's work which are recommended often to students searching for secondary literature.
Controversies and mourning
Derrida's relationship with many of his contemporaries was marked by disagreements and rifts. For example, Derrida's criticism of Foucault in the essay "Cogito and the History of Madness" (from Writing and Difference), first given as a lecture which Foucault attended, caused a rift between the two men that was never fully mended.
Whatever the outcome of these discussions, Derrida was often left in the unappealing position of having an opportunity for the last word in too many, as he outlived many of his peers. Death and mourning are foundational to the analysis which lead Derrida to his understanding of inheritance, interpretation, and responsibility. Beginning with "The Deaths of Roland Barthes" in 1981, Derrida produced a series of texts on mourning and memory occasioned by the loss of his friends and colleagues, many of them new engagements with their work. Memoires for Paul de Man, a book-length lecture series presented first at Yale and then at Irvine as Derrida's Wellek Lecture, followed in 1986, with a revision in 1989 that included "Like the Sound of the Sea Deep Within a Shell: Paul de Man's War". Ultimately fourteen essays were collected into The Work of Mourning, which was expanded in the French edition Chaque fois unique, la fin du monde (literally, The end of the world, unique each time) to include essays dedicated to Gérard Granel and Maurice Blanchot.

The Kayapo (Portuguese: Caiapó) people are the Gê-speaking Indigenous population of the plain lands of the Mato Grosso and Pará in Brazil, south of the Amazon Basin and along Rio Xingu and its tributaries. They call themselves Mebengokre or “the men from the water place“. In 2003, their population was 7,096.
Kayapo use a system of shifting cultivation, a type of farming where land is only cultivated for a couple of years. After that, the Kayapo move to another location and allow the old farm land to lie fallow and replenish itself.
The Kayapo get medicine from 650 different plants that they find throughout their territory.
The Kayapo people believe that their ancestors learned social skills from bees and other insects. That’s why the Kayapo paint their bodies, with patterns similar to insect and animal markings. They believe that this allows them to communicate better with the Spirits that exists everywhere and in everything.
Using global media and international attention, the Kayapo people have established political power over their own land. At one time, mining and logging threatened to destroy the rainforest, and thus their way of life. In retaliation, the Kayapo people used forceful tactics to banish loggers and miners in some areas, as well as establish themselves as an economic force. Later, they were again threatened by secretive government plans to build a series of hydro-electric dams on their land. Under the leadership of Paulinho Paiakan, the Altamira Gathering was orchestrated by the Kayapo, drawing media attention worldwide. This demonstration, staged at the planned site for the first dam in Altamira, Pará, lasted several days and brought much pressure upon both the World Bank and the Brazilian government.

An original 1950 Dated RAF Ordinary Airman's Tunic complete with early Second World War shoulder eagles.
This original tunic was the standard pattern worn by all men in the RAF under the rank of sergeant throughout the Second World War. It features a complete set of original brass Kings crown buttons and Battle of Britain period embroidered shoulder eagles to the top of each sleeve.
Inside the jacket the original label is still present and reads 'Jackets O.A. Size 7' which will fit up to a 36" chest and a 32" waist. It also bears the War Department broad arrow marking and the 1950 date.
The tunic is in good condition for its age and displays well and has no major issues. There is however a hole the front and a couple of smaller ones to the rear, all of which are detailed in the pictures and could be repaired. Aside from this the tunic is a good clean example.
Altogether a good example which would make a good stand-in for a wartime dated jacket as it is identical.

Dutch Baby Pancake Recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
In a blender, pulse the eggs, milk, sugar, flour, salt, and vanilla. After a few pulses, scrape the sides of the blender to ensure that no flour is left behind. Blend once again until everything is well incorporated.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a 10 inch cast iron pan into the oven for about 10 minutes. This step is crucial. Heating the pan before adding the batter helps create that puffy look of a Dutch baby.
Pour the melted butter into the hot cast iron pan and swirl it around. Then pour in the pancake batter and place it back in the oven for about 20 minutes. Once it's done, drizzle with Nutella and top with berries, sliced almonds, and powdered sugar. Serve hot.

Geothermal Exchange Organization (GEO) President and CEO Doug Dougherty joined a “roster of experts” for an article, “Geothermal Loops Back Around,” about the geothermal heat pump (GHP) business in a recent issue of Contracting Business.

On Dec. 27, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) signed HB 5397 into law, providing new financial tools for municipal electric utilities operating in the state to help their customers install distributed generation, electric vehicle charging stations, and energy efficiency technologies—including geothermal heat pump heating and cooling systems.
The New York Geothermal Energy Organization (NY-GEO) has successfully worked with State Assemblymember Sean Ryan (D – District 149) to introduce Assembly Bill 2177-A, “An act to amend state tax law, establishing a credit for geothermal energy systems.” Sen. Robert Ortt (R-62nd Senate District) introduced identical companion legislation, Senate Bill 2905, on Jan. 30. Starting […]


A demonstration of the anti-vaccination pass takes place this Saturday, March 5 in Toulouse. The prefect had, yesterday, prohibited access to the hypercentre of Toulouse to any undeclared protest rally.
While the prefect of the Occitanie region, prefect of Haute-Garonne, has prohibited access to the hypercentre of Toulouse to any undeclared protest rally this Saturday, March 5, an anti-vaccine pass and anti-government policy demonstration is held on the boulevards.
In its press release, the prefecture had indicated that “during previous undeclared demonstrations, it was observed that barrier measures and social distancing were not respected, which is likely to promote the spread of the Covid-19 virus in case of high population density. She adds that “the absence of a declaration of demonstration does not make it possible to identify the organizers in capacity to control the number of participants, the respect of barrier measures and social distancing”. In recent months, the prefecture has also reported disturbances to public order during undeclared gatherings.
The prohibition order relates only to the territory of the city center delimited by the boulevards (the latter not being included therein). Thus, these events are not prohibited as such, provided that they do not enter the perimeter of the hypercentre of Toulouse and that barrier gestures are applied there.

April’s Irish Times Books Podcast features interviews with Sinéad Gleeson about her acclaimed collection of personal essays, Constellations, and Sarah Davis-Goff, co-founder of Tramp Press, about her own first novel, Last Ones Left Alive, a dystopian novel set in the west of Ireland in the near future.
Gleeson, a long-time presenter of the Book Show on RTÉ Radio, has edited two influential anthologies of short stories by Irish women writers, The Long Gaze Back and The Glass Shore. Now she makes her debut as an author in her own right with Constellations, a collection of essays about the female body, hew personal experiences and her reading of the works of other female artists.
She reads a passage from A Wound Gives Off its Own Light, which explores the intersection of illness and creativity in the works of Frida Kahlo, Lucy Grealy, Jo Spence, among others, and then discusses her work.
Since it was set up in 2014, Tramp Press has achieved phenomenal success, despite or perhaps because it has published so few titles, just two or three a year. It has published two of the past three winners of the Irish Book of the Year Award, Notes to Self by Emilie Pine last year and Solar Bones by Mike McCormack, which went on to win the International Dublin Literary Award and be longlisted for the Man Booker. It has also given a debut to talents such as Sara Baume, published for the first time on this side of the Atlantuc US authors Jade Sharma and Sarah Henstra and reissued books by neglected authors such as Dorothy Macardle and Maeve Kelly.
Here she talks to Laura Slattery.

We start with the recent past only going back some 1000+ years, My first vikings are done, 39 breave vikings, 39 becasue one of my vikings jumped ship and has gone AWOL.
I got very board with these, and bearly got done with the last 10(well 9) figures, I still got enough figures for two more units, but not sure when I'll get around to it.
We then go another 1200 years back in time, and I finished my second and so far last Hastati unit,
I'm not really happy with this light blue armor, just dosn't look right.
My hastati line, 40 figures representing 1200 hastati.
My romans so far, I'm now only one principes unit away from a complete legion.
I also finished another phalangite unit,
I really like this unit, the red and white is really cool.
40 phalangite from two diffrent units
I've decided that all my phlangite units should be uniqe in one way or another, the problem will be to find a cool yet not totaly unhistoric mix of colors for each unit, also so far all my phalangites have been in linothorax, I'm still devided if I want ALL my pikes with that armor or if I should mix it up, I like the linothorax becasue you can paint it in many colors, other armors are not that free when it comes to how to paint them. Also I have deiced that the next unit will have standard bronze colored helmet, just so it won't be to much of a good thing.

The issue of low kitchen countertops has come up a couple times here on Tall Life. The solutions discussed include custom built kitchens, raised cutting boards, and raised islands. The problem with all of these solutions though is that the resulting height will probably not be ideal for all of your home’s occupants, and in some cases may even detract from resale value. In light of these shortcomings, there is yet another tall solution I’d like to mention, and that is the adjustable height kitchen island.
Adjustable height kitchen islands range in cost from dirt cheap to ludicrously expensive. Let’s begin with an example of the latter by Team7. In addition to accommodating multiple statures, this sleek contraption can double as a breakfast table and even a pub style table. As you watch the video below, your thoughts might go from something along the lines of, “Best invention ever!” to, “Maybe when I win the lottery…”. Sadly, these ultra luxury adjustable height kitchen islands probably cost about as much as a cheap new car. But if you have the cash, it would be pretty awesome to touch a button and have your kitchen island stealthily glide to your ideal working height.
There are less expensive designs out there though. Just do a search for “adjustable height kitchen island” and you will come across all sorts. If you are wondering how these work, most are built with a lift system such as the one in the image link below.
Another option is to repurpose adjustable height surfaces from other applications. For example, you could repurpose a sit-stand desk. Even cheaper though would be to repurpose an adjustable height workbench as these are fairly common. Given workbenches are often used by crafty people, it is no wonder that there are so many clever DIY adjustable height workbenches out there. Some of these designs could be used to build an adjustable height kitchen island. People have used bicycle parts, truck jacks, scissor jacks, and many other parts to build these. Me personally, I’ve got a pneumatic cylinder concept I might try out some day. Check out the below video for some inspiration.
What are your thoughts? Think you might get an adjustable height kitchen island or perhaps have a clever idea how to build one?

A Dunnville, Ontario based recycling concern has partnered with Swedish tire pyrolysis technology firm Scandinavia Enviro Systems AB (Enviro) to build a recycling facility in New York state.
After signing a memorandum of understanding in early July, TreadCraft Carbon, a subsidiary of TreadCraft, has signed a term sheet with Enviro outlining key parts of an agreement to build a new tire recycling facility in Buffalo, NY. The agreement involves a plant worth between $28 million and $33 million and plans to recycle a minimum of 30,000 tonnes of scrapped tires annually.
The two companies are expected to finalize the deal by the end of 2019. Sites in Buffalo, Jamestown and Niagara Falls are being considered, but other locations outside of New York are also under consideration.
Founded in 2007, TreadCraft recycles medium truck tires into crumb rubber and scrap steel material. Enviro was founded in 2001 and uses patented pyrolysis technology to recycle end of life tires. The recovered carbon black is used to make rubber and plastic components for the automotive and related industries.
“TreadCraft is pleased to partner with Scandinavian Enviro Systems of Sweden and their process to produce valuable recycled carbon black for industry from this waste tire material,” stated Terry Gilmore, president of TreadCraft., in a press release. “TreadCraft is working closely with large industrial companies, in several sectors, to introduce the economic and environmental benefits of recycled carbon black produced by the Scandinavian Enviro Systems’ process.”
Enviro stated that the project has “great support” from both the state and regional officials. The new recycling plant will be Enviro’s first endeavour outside of Sweden and TreadCraft’s first in the United States. If all goes smoothly, construction on the project could begin early next year.

It is now clear that there will be no action on the nomination of Alejandro Mayorkas to be deputy secretary of DHS until after the August Senate recess. He is currently director of USCIS.
More specifically, the Senate resumes work on September 6 and current DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano is scheduled to leave her office on September 7, so it appears that Under Secretary Rand Beers, now acting deputy secretary, will become acting secretary on that date, assuming that Napolitano leaves as scheduled. For more on the succession complications at DHS, see this earlier blog of mine.
The most recent development, as reported in the July 31 Daily Beast, is that Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, has announced that the last business meeting of his committee before the recess will not consider the controversial Mayorkas nomination, thus postponing any full-Senate consideration of the matter until at least September.
The Daily Beast story carries more details on the controversy than most other accounts, including a report on how Mayorkas is said to have made a broader decision regarding an issue in the EB-5 (immigrant investor) program that was helpful to GreenTech, an electric car firm formerly run by Terry McAuliffe, now the Democratic candidate for governor of Virginia. McAuliffe, several years ago, had written to Secretary Napolitano about EB-5 and GreenTech.
EB-5 is that part of the immigration law that allows alien investors to secure a set of green cards for all members of their families when investments of $500,000 are made through USCIS-approved entities called regional centers. One such center, Gulf Coast Funds Management, has been using the program to raise funds, primarily from Chinese investors, for GreenTech. Gulf Coast is run by Anthony Rodham, a brother of the former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.
Mayorkas has been a cheerleader in the administration for the program and has tried to make it larger and more investor-friendly, in general. One of the continuing issues in the program is whether specific investments are at risk — like a common stock purchase — or are loans. Something that is clearly a loan is not accepted in the EB-5 program, but there are intricate definitional challenges in some of these financial offerings, including, apparently, one of the GreenTech/Gulf Coast offerings. The Daily Beast reported in this connection:
The issue that quashed GreenTech's application the first time was whether the Chinese executive's [EB-5] investment capital was really at risk throughout the term of the investment as is required by law to secure the visa. Mayorkas said the case fell into a gray area, so his office issued a new policy memorandum clarifying the issue in a way that happened to allow for the visa.
The controversy over the Mayorkas nomination also involves an investigation of the USCIS director by the acting inspector general of DHS, who, in turn, faces an investigation into his own office practices, as described in an earlier blog.

South Korea's nascent feminist movement turns to abortion ban
Women have continued to access abortion illegally in defiance of 65-year-old law
Benjamin Haas in Seoul
Sun 11 Nov 2018
Kim Soo-jin will never forget the disgusting taste of the pulpy green-brown traditional Korean brew she drank in the hopes of ending her pregnancy, or the night she spent in pain, curled into a ball and unable to move.
The recipe her roommate found on the internet was an attempt to sidestep South Korea’s 65-year ban on abortions, but in the end it did not work and Kim, a 21-year-old student at the time, was forced to go to a clinic a week later for an illegal surgical procedure.

Vietnam’s history has similarities with Korea’s, which Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt agreed should be also divided and placed under military occupation (at their notorious February 1945 meeting in Yalta) — leading to the Korean War, in which the US dropped more bombs than had been used by both sides in the Pacific theatre of World War II.
By 1953, two and half million Koreans lay dead, but even this did not crush their resistance to imperialist occupation.
Instead, acting under Moscow’s orders, the ICP leadership greeted the first contingents of British troops to arrive (on 12-13 September) with welcome banners and attempted to shake hands with their commander, General Gracey, but were contemptuously brushed aside.
Gracey seized government buildings, declared martial law, freed Japanese prisoners of war, armed them and used them as a temporary police force until French military forces arrived to reinstate their colonial rule.
These facts are not widely known, not even among left-wing and progressive forces, because neither liberal nor conservative opinion-formers have any interest in reminding us of these facts, and neither do those left-wing movements who have their origins in the Stalin-led ‘communist movement’.
The dominant mainstream narrative on the Cold War has yet to be seriously challenged; on the contrary, the truth is buried under more and more layers of rubbish.The dominant narrative is that the war was between the “West”, led by the United States, which was trying to spread capitalism and democracy, and the “East” led by the Soviet Union, which was trying to spread socialism and communism.It is absurd to claim that the installation by the USA and its allies of countless bloodthirsty dictators from the Shah to Saddam to Somoza had anything to do with “spreading democracy”, but the first part of the dominant narrative is correct: the USA and its imperialist allies were indeed fighting a war to spread capitalism and crush any resistance to it.The Stalinist “stages” theory of history held that anti-capitalist revolutions were impossible in nations oppressed by imperialism — because the working class was too small and weak and because the task of the day was to abolish feudal and other pre-capitalist obstacles to the spread of capitalism — and its proponents argued that a protracted period of capitalist development was necessary before class contradictions in these nations could come to approximate those in the imperialist nations, and only then could the struggle for socialism could be put on the agenda.So, instead of leading struggles to bring revolutionary governments of workers and farmers to power, Moscow instructed the communist parties under its control to become junior partners in alliances with the supposedly progressive wing of the national bourgeoisie, leading to countless catastrophic defeats, Iran in 1953 and Indonesia in 1965 being two major examples.As Che Guevara said, “the indigenous bourgeoisies have lost all capacity to oppose imperialism — if they ever had any…. Either a socialist revolution or a caricature of a revolution.”It is notable that the only revolutionary victories during the so-called Cold War occurred under the leadership of communist parties that had broken at least partially from subservience to Moscow (Yugoslavia, China, Korea, Vietnam), or of revolutionary movements and parties that had never been in Moscow’s orbit in the first place (e.g. Perhaps the most instructive example is that of Vietnam.At the Potsdam Conference in July 1945, the victors — Truman, Churchill (assisted by Labour Party leader Clement Attlee, whose election as Prime Minister of Britain was confirmed mid-conference) and Stalin, met to share out the spoils of victory.Ignoring the question of imperialism is synonymous to betrayal of people’s cause.John Smith, former oil rig worker, bus driver, telecommunications engineer, longtime activist in the anti-war and Latin American solidarity movements, and author of , January 2016), discusses the question of imperialism in the following interview taken by Farooque Chowdhury during July 2018-February 2019.The real East is invisible in this risible, incredibly Eurocentric narrative, and the same fate of invisibility befalls the entire South: the North-South conflict, i.e.the struggle between imperialism and its colonies and neo-colonies, is entirely collapsed into the so-called East-West conflict.

Open planning maps are all the rage these days. London’s transport authorities have developed a nifty tool which you can use to work out how well connected any point in the city is to any other city. In Bangalore, the government is crowd-sourcing ideas to redevelop their neighbourhoods.
So it’s probably time we introduced you to the Greater Manchester Open Data Infrastructure Map. Which does things like this.
All the cycling routes in central Manchester.
It brings together vast reams of data on infrastructure, social facilities and land-use restrictions, so that developers can check out both the costs and the benefits of building in any particular location.
But it’s also open to any passing internet user. And so, if it takes your fancy, you can see where all the schools are:
You can see what Manchester’s electricity network looks like:
You can see the coverage of the Metrolink tram network…
…and how it links up with heavy rail services:
Perhaps the coolest things we’ve found you can do with it – for, y’know, a certain value of cool – is to combine this info with the boundaries of the green belt.
That helps you spot areas of the conurbation that could really do with better transport links.
Just a few suggestions the transport authorities might want to consider.
The map was built by Salford City Council, at the request of various local business groups (the Greater Manchester LEP, advisory group New Economy), and with the help of the Cabinet Office.
If you’re the sort of person who likes playing with planning maps – and given that you’re here, we’re assuming that you are – there’s plenty of other fun stuff you can do with this one. Check it out here.

Information for Patients
Angina is chest pain or discomfort you feel when there is not enough blood flow to your heart muscle. Your heart muscle needs the oxygen that the blood carries. Angina may feel like pressure or a squeezing pain in your chest. It may feel like indigestion. You may also feel pain in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back.
Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common heart disease. CAD happens when a sticky substance called plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart, reducing blood flow.
There are three types of angina:
- Stable angina is the most common type. It happens when the heart is working harder than usual. Stable angina has a regular pattern. Rest and medicines usually help.
- Unstable angina is the most dangerous. It does not follow a pattern and can happen without physical exertion. It does not go away with rest or medicine. It is a sign that you could have a heart attack soon.
- Variant angina is rare. It happens when you are resting. Medicines can help.
Not all chest pain or discomfort is angina. If you have chest pain, you should see your health care provider.

However, technological developments deepfake instead gave birth to an internet site—which we can’t name for the sake of convenience on the internet—which is able to create images of women naked with artificial intelligence (TO THE) since 2019.
In fact, within a few months of 2020, the site expanded its services to make money for partners who create nude characters. They also digitally have a feature to ‘remove’ clothes from non-nude photos to create pornography non-consensual.
Based on visitor analysis in SimilarWeb, the site had 50 million visitors from January to the end of October 2021. Its visitors peaked in August 2021 with 6.92 million visitors, and the site’s creator claims there are “hundreds of thousands” of images uploaded per day.
quote Wired, their visitors halved in October 2021 after getting media attention, due to the hosting offline and the cryptocurrency Coinbase (COIN) suspended its payment account.
However, the mysterious creator claims the algorithm has been updated several times, and a third version will be released earlier this year. He claims the upcoming new version will allow people to “manipulate target attributes such as bust size, and pubic hair.”
The anonymous man who is co-founder this site to Vice said, the site uses an algorithm called the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to generate naked content.
The majority of the images produced by this technology are white women aged 20 to 40 years. Then, artificial intelligence is trained on many photos of naked women so that it can produce new and unique versions of what it has learned to look like humans.
“That’s not because any choice is on our side, but simply because that’s how well-classified data sets end up being contained,” he explained.
“We are very careful to only use the public domain or buy data sources from reputable server providers. While we will add men in the future, the reality is there is not much demand for nude images of men.” Based on observations, there are indeed several photos of men, but the number is very small compared to photos of women.
The idea, explained the man, is that this networking site offers nude pictures for those who want to get them without violating the privacy of women in real life. However, on the other hand, what he develops becomes troubling for his own company, when the woman shown is real but her naked body is AI generated.
Ivan Bravo, creator of a custom pornography website, shares the same opinion at Wired. He said his website not only exploits women, but can also become a new style of pornography that can use male characters.
He said, will continue to do so because “it makes a good income” and “[penghasilan] that’s more than enough to support a family in a decent home here in Mexico.”
Whereas, deepfake has been used to humiliate and harass women from the very beginning, as the majority of the images produced target women. Evidently, in 2020, the business and technology research institute Sensity reported the findings of bots Telegram which uses deepfake for harassed more than 100,000 women, including minors.
Also, the women on the nude imagery site may not be real, but the blueprints could be based on nude images of the women who do it. Because, it is very common for pornography or nude artists exclusively to be found online after being stolen. He claims, his company can not avoid this problem.
“If we see that the results are from websites/monetized, websites revenge porn, online forums, or behind paywall, we exercise caution and discard such data as it may not be collected ethically.”
However, the risks they created were unavoidable and had taken a heavy toll on them. One of them is Kristen Bell, a Hollywood actress who invented deepfake naked with her face. “I’m being exploited,” he said in Vox, June 2020.
Other people are also the target of harassment images deepfake, many have expressed shock, do not want their children to see the image, and are currently struggling to remove it from the internet.
One of the cases was trying to contact the police, but nothing could be done to get rid of the internet problem completely, even though it’s an important job, explains British writer and broadcaster Helen Mort at MIT Tech Review.
“It really makes you feel helpless like being dumped in your place,” he argues. “[Mereka] punished for being a woman with a public vote of any kind.”
Several opinions offer other approaches to stop the dangers of sexual crimes on the internet, starting from legal, technical, and social steps. First, according to Seyi Akiwowo of the anti-violence against women organization called Glitch! is “We need to educate young people, adults, everyone, about the real dangers of using this and then spreading it.”
Then Mikiba Morehead, a cybersexuals researcher and a risk management consultant, argues that technology can also stop its spread. The method includes user identification, tagging through algorithms, which can then report material deepfake.
From a legal perspective, there are significant challenges to address them, explains Honza ervenka, a lawyer specializing in technology and non-consensual images. There needs to be clear laws regarding copyright, privacy claims, and artistic licenses that can be used to remove images from the web.
“The longer this regulatory vacuum continues, the more initiatives like this will accelerate, will become industrialized, and will become more difficult to regulate at a later stage,” he explained in a statement. Wired.
The most complicated, if the industry deepfake As pornography becomes more and more common, it will become difficult or impossible to track down and prosecute the makers of the technology that abuses and distributes it.
There should also be international regulations regarding cyberspace, because the creators, for example, based in Asian countries cannot be prosecuted in the United States or Great Britain without extradition.

[dropcap style=”font-size:100px; color:#992211;”]T[/dropcap]hink of the applications! A paint that makes the coated object self-cleaning. Pure sci-fi.
Wonder if you slopped it onto a vinyl if it would get rid of that awful scratchy whining all over Astral Weeks.
A new paint that makes robust self-cleaning surfaces has been developed by a team led by UCL researchers. The coating can be applied to clothes, paper, glass and steel and when combined with adhesives, maintains its self-cleaning properties after being wiped, scratched with a knife and scuffed with sandpaper.
Self-cleaning surfaces work by being extremely repellent to water but often stop working when they are damaged or exposed to oil. The new paint creates a more resilient surface that is resistant to everyday wear and tear, so could be used for a wide range of real-world applications from clothing and cars, say the researchers.
First author Yao Lu (UCL Chemistry), said: “Being waterproof allows materials to self-clean as water forms marble-shaped droplets that roll over the surface, acting like miniature vacuum cleaners picking up dirt, viruses and bacteria along the way. For this to happen, the surface must be rough and waxy, so we set out to create these conditions on hard and soft surfaces by designing our own paint and combining it with different adhesives to help the surfaces withstand damage.”
[quote]titanium dioxide nanoparticles
can give a wide-range of materials
The study, involving researchers from UCL, Imperial College London and Dalian University of Technology (China) and published today in Science, shows how the new paint made from coated titanium dioxide nanoparticles can give a wide-range of materials self-cleaning properties, even during and after immersion in oil and following damage to the surface.
Different coating methods were used to create the water repellent surfaces, depending on the material. An artist’s spray-gun was used to coat glass and steel, dip-coating for cotton wool and a syringe to apply the paint onto paper.
All the materials became waterproof and self-cleaning as water droplets of different sizes were seen bouncing instead of wetting the surface, removing the dirt applied by the researchers. This was maintained after damage was inflicted on the surfaces.
Mr Lu added: “Our paint worked extremely well for a variety of surfaces in tough conditions which were designed to simulate the wear and tear of materials in the real-world. For example, car paint frequently gets scuffed and scratched and we wanted to make sure our paint would survive that. As well as practical uses, the paint could also be used creatively to make art with water which is something I have been exploring in my own time.”
The experiments were filmed to show the behaviour of the treated surfaces against controls. Examples include videos of treated cotton-wool being dipped into blue coloured water and emerging pristine white with no trace of contamination, and treated paper remaining dry and clean after being exposed to dirt and water.
Co-author, Professor Claire Carmalt, who is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at UCL Chemistry, said: “The biggest challenge for the widespread application of self-cleaning surfaces is finding a way to make them tough enough to withstand everyday damage. The surfaces tend to be mechanically weak and so rub off easily, but by pairing our paint with different adhesives, we’ve shown it is possible to make a robust self-cleaning surface. We used materials that are readily available so our methods can be scaled-up for industrial applications.”
Corresponding author, Professor Ivan Parkin, who is Professor of Chemistry and Head of UCL Chemistry, said: “Our work aims to characterise new materials at a very small scale so we can see how best to use them to improve our daily lives. The new paint fits into a broader portfolio of surfaces we are developing for different purposes, including antimicrobial coatings to combat hospital acquired infections, and we hope its discovery advances the widespread adoption of self-cleaning surfaces.”
