Well, I think I'm still young, so I haven't advice event for me (laughs) ... But hey, if it is to animate I will tell you that for running the Wings for Life you just need motivation. We will run together for all of those who can't. The Wings for Life World Run is on them! Why?
They deserve it,
Because I have many friends who are with me,
Because we'll have fun,
Because I enjoy to run in this environment,
On the other hand, once you are in the starting line with other runners, the adrenaline will take care of your job, you batteries will be fully charged, you put yourself into a running environment with other participants as motivated as you are.
Then, I'm not sure how to face this race because is me first time. In others I used to go as fast as possible, but here there is not a final line, it's the Catcher Car who will catch you and that's all. So (1) according to the km you want to run, you have to control your pace so you are not dying the first Km. Although this is not important, because the idea is to go out there to enjoy the run, to share a moment with people like you, come to this race with the idea of running for those who can't.
Given that the last race I ran at -14 °C in the mountains, I can not think of what to wear to this race. But, (2) I'm sure is better go with a light shirt that wont make you sweat a lot, because considering that the Wings for Life is in Valencia and we left around noon, the heat will heat us. So, light clothing. And, sure (3) as important as the material, will be good to knowing yourself, listening to your own body, because (4) you will need to keep you hydrated, always is better to drink some water before, during and after the race. Also, think about the the km you want to reach, because depending on that, (5) could be a good idea to bring with you a gel that you could activate at a certain time. Be careful with the gel, I would recommend if you can take it on any rise so the body is more relaxed; because when you are going down, your pace is faster and sometimes it could turns your stomach.
And, moreover, when you will be on the start line keep in mind the idea of enjoying. If you're on my team, we will give our best in this race and will have a good time together. Good luck to everyone!

How long did the nuclear test ban treaty last?
On 31 October 1958 the three countries initiated test-ban negotiations (the Conference on the Discontinuance of Nuclear Tests) and agreed to a temporary moratorium (the Soviet Union joined the moratorium shortly after this date). The moratorium would last for close to three years.
When did the test ban Treaty end?
On August 30, 1961, although neither the United States nor the United Kingdom had resumed testing and France had not continued to test, the Soviet Union announced that it would resume testing. It did so on September 1, thus ending the moratorium. The United States resumed testing two weeks later.
Who signed the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963?
The Senate approved the Limited Nuclear Test Ban on September 23, 1963, by an 80-19 margin. Kennedy signed the ratified Treaty on October 7, 1963. The Treaty: prohibits nuclear weapons tests or other nuclear explosions under water, in the atmosphere, or in outer space.
Which country first proposed a test ban Treaty in 1954?
In 1954, India made the first proposal calling for an agreement to ban nuclear weapons tests. In 1958, the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom began a Conference on the Discontinuance of Nuclear Tests in Geneva, aimed at reaching agreement on an effectively controlled test ban.
When did the US sign the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty?
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty On August 5, 1963, after more than eight years of difficult negotiations, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union signed the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. The destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by atomic bombs marked the end of World War II and the beginning of the nuclear age.
How did the ban on nuclear weapons work?
The Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty banned nuclear-weapons tests in the atmosphere, in outer space, and underwater but permitted underground testing and required no control posts, no on-site inspection, and no international supervisory body.
Where was the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty created?
The Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), an international organization headquartered in Vienna, Austria, was created to build the verification framework, including establishment and provisional operation of the network of monitoring stations, the creation of an international data centre,…
When did the US and Soviet Union suspend nuclear testing?
During most of 1959, both the United States and the Soviet Union temporarily suspended their testing, but negotiations over the next two years were slowed by renewed Cold War tensions between the two countries.

That sounds like a lot of us, doesn't it? But if you regularly take even a few moments out of your frantic life, you'll see results very soon.
Try walking. You can walk from where you park your car at the end of the parking lot to your office, classroom, grocery story, or shopping mall. You didn't notice that much, did you? If you can't walk, try wall push ups
Try chilling. You're at your desk and the papers are piled up in front of you. They're a mess and you're on edge. Try closing your eyes for ten seconds, breathing deeply, imagining that you're breathing out all that clutter in your mind. Easy. Right?
You're exhausted at the end of the day and can't even think about cooking. What you want to do is stop on the way home and pick up something at the drive-through. Try resisting the urge to grab a quick fix that's usually over salted and high in fat. Instead when you get home, take out a carton of flavored low-fat or fat-free yogurt or a small carton of flavored low-fat or fat-free milk and drink it while you're sitting down. Then, when you've got some energy back, take out some nutritious leftovers or stir-up a Super Easy recipe like the one below. Add an apple or other fruit of your choice and you're on your way to a strong, vital, healthy life!
Toasted Cheese with Tomato Slice
2 teaspoons lite mayonnaise
2 slices whole grain bread
2 slices reduced-fat cheese such as mozzarella or Swiss
2 slices from a large tomato, if available
Cover cookie sheet or toaster oven tray with aluminum foil. Spread lite mayonnaise onto each of two bread slices. Place cheese and then tomato on each slice of bread. Put the cookie sheet into the oven or the tray into a toaster oven. Toast until the cheese begins to melt and the bread turns brown. Remove with a spatula onto plates.

Thanks for being patient. I've been hunkered down going over my soon-to-be-published book page by page, line by line. And in doing so, I've realized this is NOT a gourmet cookbook. It's a collection of delicious, healthy, very easy recipes and shortcuts on how to eat healthily.
Several readers of this blog volunteered to be recipe testers, some from as far away as the United Kingdom and Australia. And surprisingly, I learned most from those recipe testers who weren't gourmet cooks. I also learned from the gourmet cooks about tweaks that the recipes needed.
We, those of us who are foodies, have gotten used to recipes and cookbooks that assumed we all know a lot about cooking and have lots of time to do it. The truth is we don't. And that's where the revised theme of the book started. Busy people won't bother with the recipes if they seem difficult or speak a foreign gourmet language. So, the book, Even You Can Be Healthy, now has a subtitle: This is NOT a gourmet cookbook!
Stay tuned. I'll be posting more recipes, more advice on becoming healthy, more ways to do it all easily. So that Even You Become Healthy!
Trying to let the artist who's making drawings for the soon-to-be released book on healthy living, I told her that being healthy means you can do the things that matter to you. You can garden, do woodwork, hike in the woods, shop, cook, bowl. You can feel good about yourself and life. You can attend your house of worship, volunteer, work on a regular basis.
And a healthy lifestyle means not only healthy eating, though that's a large part, it also means bringing exercise and stress relief into your everyday life, smoothly and easily. I'll be writing about those aspects of healthy living in upcoming posts. Watch for them.
In the meantime, here's today healthy, delicious, easy to make recipe. These photos were made by my sister-in-law who tested the recipe and has her own blog, CiaoChowLinda.blogspot.com. She focuses on Italian cooking and it's a beautiful and fascinating blog. Visit it.
Here's the recipe for today, and like all the recipes I give you, it's easy and healthy and you'll want to make it part of your cooking and eating life:
Crustless Spinach, Bell Pepper, and Feta Quiche
“Overall, this is a good recipe,” said Linda Prospero, CiaoChowLinda.blogspot.com, and recipe tester.
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or canola oil
½ cup bell pepper, seeds and pith removed, chopped. Red bell pepper adds color to this dish.
1 cup onion, chopped finely
1 package pre-washed fresh baby spinach leaves or 1 box frozen spinach, defrosted and moisture removed by squeezing
About 10 fresh basil leaves, chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste, adding a minimum
½ cup low-fat or skim milk or “milk” of your choice, not sweet
½ cup crumbled feta cheese or shredded parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease bottom of pie plate or baking pan with half the oil.
Chop the bell pepper and onion. Add the other half of the oil to a large, non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Sauté bell pepper, stirring, for about 1 minute, then add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Remove water from fresh or defrosted frozen spinach and add to the skillet, stirring for about 1 to 2 minutes, until vegetables are well mixed. Remove skillet from heat and season bell pepper, onion, and spinach mixture with basil, salt, and pepper to your taste. Stir.
In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and milk or “milk” of your choice, not a sweet milk.
Sprinkle feta or Parmesan cheese over bottom of oiled pie plate or baking pan. Arrange vegetable and spinach mixture on top of cheese. Pour egg mixture over spinach and bake the crustless quiche on a cookie sheet in middle of oven for about 20-25 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a sharp knife in the middle. If it comes out clean, the crustless quiche is ready. Wait about 10 minutes and then slice into serving-size pieces. Serve with a salad (recipes on pages xx, xx, and xx) on the side and warmed whole wheat baguette

Becoming healthy means we pay attention to what we put into our bodies. It doesn't mean giving up our sacred, favorite goodies. With this recipe you get your chocolate fix without the downside of high fat.
The essential threes of health are exercise, stress relief, and most of all healthy eating. And healthy food means loading our plates with colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains (not white flour), and lean protein (no saturated fats or trans fat).
The dish here, Healthy, Easy, Chocolate Mousse has cocoa powder as an all important ingredient to chocolate lovers. There's no settled definition of the cocoa pod. Some say the inner part, from which we get out cocoa, is a seed, some say a nut. What matters to us is that with cocoa powder the fat has been removed and we get the powder, plain and simple.
The other part of this dish that is important to us healthy eaters is the tofu, which is derived from soy beans and is very high in protein.
Overall this amazingly good, healthy dessert is very low in calories and a good source of protein, too. Make it, enjoy it, and don't feel the least bit guilty.
(This recipe was tested by Emma Allan, UK, photo by Emma, also.)
Chocolate Mousse Light
This tastes rich and delicious and it’s so good for you as well as being extremely easy to make. I recommend you try this easy recipe.
8-12 ounces plain silk tofu
1/3 to ½ cup cocoa, regular, not extra-dark
½ cup sugar or honey, or to taste
1 tablespoon vanilla, or to taste
1 tablespoon milk or more as needed, low-fat or skim, or “milk” of your choice, just enough to liquefy
Add all ingredients except milk to blender bowl. You can also use a handheld blender in a small bowl. Blend until smooth, adding milk only if needed to liquefy. Adjust sweetener, cocoa, and vanilla to taste. Pour into a bowl, serving dish, or individual custard cups. Chill 2 to 3 hours or more until ready to serve. The mousse will set as it chills. It keeps well in refrigerator.
The cook who tested this recipe says, “This was the first time I had ever used capers in a recipe, and I love the flavor they added. The dish was really easy and really tasty. I like the fact that it cooks all in one skillet and is done in about 30 minutes. You can bet I'll be cooking this recipe again and again!”
Let me know what you think!
White Fish Fillet with Tomato, Onion, Capers, and Olives
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or canola oil
½ cup onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped, or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 14.5-ounce can tomatoes, diced, any flavor
1 tablespoon capers (optional)
2 tablespoons canned black olives, sliced and drained (optional)
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 pound raw fish fillets such as tilapia, snapper, sea bass, grouper, sole, or flounder (Tilapia is very inexpensive.)
Juice of ½ lemon or 1 teaspoon vinegar
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté onion till tender. Add fresh garlic, if using, and sauté for 1 minute more. Stir in canned tomatoes with juice, powdered garlic, if using, and parsley. Add red pepper flakes, capers, and black olives, if using. Cover and simmer on low for about 10 minutes. (This dish tastes best if you use most ingredients when cooking it.)
Remove cover and add raw fillets. Drizzle the lemon juice or vinegar over the fillets and spoon the sauce over them. Re-cover and simmer for another 10-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
Serve over about ½ to ¾ cup cooked brown rice, couscous, or other whole wheat pasta.
The basics of healthy eating are so simple it'll be hard for you to forget them.
Here's today's recipe, a one-pan dish with low-fat proteins, white beans:

The IoT era looks set to bring significant changes to industries which have, typically, been slower to embrace disruptive technologies. One such sector is construction, in which IoT technologies have the potential to not only improve efficiencies at key stages of the design and build of structures, but also to bring changes to the safety and security of construction sites.
The UK construction industry accounts for £102 billion(US$ 122.72 billion) in economic output, yet faces severe challenges. The outlook has been uncertain post Brexit and recent reports reveal that construction output has remained flat for the past year. There are, however, some positive signs: most recently the Government announced a £2.3bn(US$ 2.77 billion) Housing Infrastructure Fund, says Upendra Dharmadhikary, vice president at Tech Mahindra.
At a time when it’s more important than ever for the industry to look for new ways to streamline processes and manage change more effectively, advancements in IoT could provide solutions to issues which have hampered construction projects. Whilst upfront investment is needed, these latest technologies could, in the long run, provide better and more cost-effective ways of working. Key areas in which the IoT can deliver change include:
Planning and design validation
Between planning and execution, projects can alter dramatically. The added complications of co-ordinating multi-party projects involving different work streams means that projects can overrun and costs can escalate.
Harnessing data from IoT sensors can deliver vital information at key stages of the design and build process to reduce delays. Problems can be solved faster and changes can be managed more effectively.
In the future, these sensors could help to create 3D models of buildings , providing a ‘virtual’ replication so that designers and architects can test key aspects of the design before construction. IoT sensors can provide data points throughout the construction lifecycle, providing real-time insights on projects so that adjustments can be made based on the most accurate information.
In this way, designers and architects can test and validate key aspects of the design as part of the Building Information Modelling (BIM) process. Sensors and robots can dramatically increase the productivity of construction firms.
For example, it can help designers to know exactly where heating and air conditioning should be positioned to optimise airflow or where lights should be fitted that best suits the requirements of the building. Designers can check aspects such as the impact of occupancy and footfall within a building from information provided by sensors.
Creating a digital view of a building, with information from sensors means that decisions are based on real-time, real-world data, speeding up completion time and reducing costs.
Safety, security and maintenance
The construction sector has one of the highest rates of accidents and injury, with 2.2 million days working days lost to work-related injury or illness. However IoT innovations – a ‘connected’ building site and ‘connected’ staff – can provide a route to safer ways of working. For example, wearables, such as hard hats fitted with sensors, can monitor the health of the worker, detect if any hazards are nearby, or simply provide an alert if someone is not wearing a helmet.
Sensors can also help us to understand more about how workers are interacting with machinery to reduce the risk of injury or musculoskeletal disorders. They can be used to prevent collisions with vehicles working on site; proximity sensors can alert drivers of potential dangers and avoid accidents.
With maintenance and repairs a huge cost factor in construction, IoT can help to reduce unnecessary outlay as machines fitted with advanced sensors will predict and detect the need for repairs early on, before it becomes too costly. The use of augmented reality and robots can help workers in carrying out maintenance tasks.
There are further benefits from the IoT era in improving on-site security. Most construction sites typically have millions of pounds worth of assets, which makes them a target for thieves or vandals.
Here, too, the IoT can make a difference and protect against loss, theft or vandalism damage.
Tags on tools or machinery can provide alerts to remotely alert site managers if these assets go missing. Drones fitted with security cameras can track construction sites at night, remotely managing them and providing ‘eyes’ on a site, which offers more coverage than static CCTV cameras.
We’re still some way off from these practices becoming the norm. However, if the industry harnesses the latest innovations in IoT, the construction sector of the future could be a very different place. In future, the convergence of Operational Technology (OT), controlling physical devices, and IT will bring further disruption in the construction industry.
The good news is that we’re seeing more advancements in the computing power of sensors and the networking of the devices themselves is becoming cheaper. ‘Smart’ construction sites, sensors and connected devices can drive new, more efficient and safer ways of working.

A Traveling-Wave Model of Laser Diodes with Consideration for Thermal Effects

We investigate the static and dynamic thermal effects using the large-signal traveling-wave model of laser diodes. To cope with the substantial difference in the time constants of the thermal and the optical processes, a simple and efficient iteration method is proposed and demonstrated. Therefore instead of following the time sequence constrained by the finite difference time interval, by the iteration method, we can easily locate the equilibrium point of both the thermal and optical states. Both static and transient states of a laser diode with consideration of the thermal effects are simulated. The various thermal time constants of directly modulated distributed feedback lasers observed recently are explained based on the thermal traveling-wave model.

A day in the life of a property manager can be overwhelming. Between tenant requests, asset maintenance, owner updates and contractor scheduling, there’s little room to breathe, let alone focus on essential tasks.
And it’s only getting busier. Recent regulations from the Condominium Authority of Ontario (CAO) and the newly formed Condominium Management Regulatory Authority of Ontario (CMRAO) are adding even more reporting and monitoring obligations for property managers to consider.
Combined with the ongoing influx of work orders, invoices, liability waivers, receipts, and other documents, the time required for collecting, processing, delivering, and retrieving these documents is adding up.
Fortunately, advancements in automation, cloud computing, and sophisticated software are providing stakeholders with the tools to streamline tasks and enhance back office functions. That includes a new generation of scanning technology that can seamlessly transition vital documents into a digital document management system where they can then be processed, stored, and shared via the cloud with relevant parties at the press of a button.
Fujitsu is one company taking the lead in bringing such technologies to the market. Steve Oblin from Fujitsu Canada explains that models like the ScanSnap iX500 desktop duplex scanner, ScanSnap iX100 portable scanner, and ScanSnap SV600 book scanner have enabled property management professions to tackle large volumes of paperwork with greater accuracy and in far less time than traditional methods.
“Embracing scanning technology reduces the time required to process paperwork, so managers don’t get stuck playing catch up and can focus on the future of the condo and the satisfaction of the community,” says Oblin.
Using advanced scanning technology to digitize paperwork has additional benefits as well. While it can offer greater protection for sensitive materials, it also accelerates service requests, lowers the risk of lost or damaged documents, shrinks one’s environmental footprint, and generates cost savings by reducing the need for paper.
Ultimately, Oblin says, it’s technology like Fujitsu’s that is transforming condo management. “Managing condos is as much a paper process as a people process. Scanning technology actually helps minimize the paper demands so the people demands can be more front and centre.”

In a shocking video that made waves on social media showing two minor class 12th students of Andhra Pradesh's Government Junior College in Rajamahendravaram getting married inside a classroom.
The incident is said to have taken place earlier in November. The one minute video shows the boy tying a knot around the girl's neck in an empty classroom, even as another classmate can be heard asking them to hurry up, as others might come.
Later, the another classmate directs the boy to apply the 'bottu' (bindi) on the girl's forehead, a symbolic sacred ritual from a husband towards the wife in Hindu culture. As the video ended, she asked both of them to stand side by side, indicating preparation for capturing some wedding photographs.
Andhra Police takes cognisance, college gives TC to the minor couple
Andhra Pradesh police took suo moto cognizance of the video of a minor couple getting married inside a classroom that has gone viral on social media, and informed the Department of Women and Children Development about the same, the police said on Thursday.
"The video came to our notice, but nobody complained about it. Neither the parents of the couple nor the school management reported it. But we have taken the suo moto cognizance of the matter and informed the matter to officials of the Department of Women and Children Development, they will look into the matter," said B Venkateswara Rao, Circle Inspector of Two Town police station, Rajamahendravaram, as per reports.
After the video surfaced, the college administration gave transfer certificates (TC) to the couple along with another student who co-operated them in the whole setup.

The wooden stairs of the house,
bore all the weight efficiently,
The narrowly winding road across the town,
resiliently occupied them in its gut.

02 September 2022 | NewsVideo now available | NCIRS webinar - Emerging vaccine preventable diseases and vaccination for travelRead the full article
Zoster vaccination has been funded under the National Immunisation Program for older adults aged 70, with a catch-up program for those aged 71–79 years, since 2016. An Australian survey of general practitioners (GPs) has found some gaps in knowledge of zoster vaccination recommendations and guidelines.
The survey was conducted by the National Centre of Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) in 2017, one year after the introduction of the national zoster vaccination program, and the results have been published in Communicable Diseases Intelligence. The survey found while most GPs knew about the eligibility criteria for funded vaccinations, there was lack of knowledge of the other age groups for which zoster vaccine is recommended but not funded. A small percentage of GPs were also unaware that this vaccine should not be given to immunocompromised people, and that it can be given at the same time as influenza or pneumococcal vaccine. About half of the GPs surveyed rarely or never reported zoster vaccination data to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR).
The findings of this survey suggest the need for a repeat survey to determine if these issues persist, especially regarding the contraindication to zoster vaccination for immunocompromised people. All immunisation providers are encouraged to give zoster vaccine as per the current Australian guidelines, ensuring compliance with relevant contraindications, and report to AIR.

Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout – a Review
Lux series – Book #5
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Release Date: August 5, 2014
Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came.
She can’t believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become an emotion that could destroy her—could destroy them all.
Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal.
They must team with an unlikely enemy if there is any chance of surviving the invasion. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything— even what they cherish most—to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind.
War has come to Earth. And no matter the outcome, the future will never be the same for those left standing
Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout is the 5th and final book in her wonderful Lux series. Let me start off by saying I have so much respect for Jennifer Armentrout, as a writer, and for giving us such wonderful exciting and befitting end to the Lux series. For anyone who needs a refresher on this series, you can find my earlier reviews under the review tab (Barb’s reviews, Jennifer Armentrout).
When we last left off in Origin, the Luxens had arrived in full force, and Daemon, Dawson and Dee disappeared seemingly to join with the Luxens. At the start of Opposition, Katy waits by the window praying for them to return. Beth is pregnant and only Archer and Luc are there with Katy. With the world being attacked, they needed to stay inside to be safe. But Katy is never one to listen, and she and Archer go out to find some things to help Beth. Of course, Katy is eventually captured, and wakes up surrounded by Luxens. To her shock, she sees a distant Daemon standing by the Luxen leader, as they plan the destruction of the human race, including the hybrids (which she now is). Dee is also mean and unfriendly to Katy. Has Daemon, Dee and Dawson changed, betraying them?
Since I do not want to give spoilers, what follows is an incredibly thrilling action packed story from start to finish. This is a war, and the Luxens, with help from the traitors are winning this battle. With nowhere to go, and hope slowly evaporating, they must turn to an enemy for an unlikely truce. I loved when Katy, losing her temper, angrily goes into a tirade; since the beginning of time, there have always been differences, & hate throughout the world. But when there is a common enemy they will join hands; when all is said and done, they can go back to being enemies. Katy has grown so much in this series, and in Opposition, she turned into a kick-assed heroine. Perfect for our Daemon. I loved that Jennifer gave us a glimpse of Hunter again. Very cool.
The Lux series may be considered YA, but make no mistake, this series is a wonderful read for everyone. Jennifer Armentrout not only gives us a believable story of aliens living as humans in our world, but she has given us a fabulous young couple, whom we spent the entire series totally invested in what happens to them. Armentrout also gives us such wonderful secondary characters that we can worry, cry, or laugh with. Daemon & Katy were one of the best young couples in any YA or NA world, as they were so perfect together, not to mention totally hot. Ohhhh we will miss our Daemon.
Again, I must say that when I was anticipating reading Opposition, I was worried. After what happened in another series that I loved by another author, I was scared what will happen here. But thank you thank you, Jennifer, you have made me so happy. Opposition had such an awesome ending that allowed us to be happily content to move on. That’s not to say that I hope one day, when she is not buried with all the books she writes, she can write a novella giving us an update to the lives of Daemon, Katy, and all their friends who survived this epic adventure. Bravo Jennifer! This was a fantastic ride, and Opposition was a classic thriller, with an epic ending.

Aquafaba is the water or brine you find in canned beans. Typically, you’d rinse the beans in a colander or strainer to wash away the liquid, but with this next recipe you save the brine (aquafaba).
You can also save the aquafaba and use it when a recipe calls for stock, but also an egg-white substitute. Whip it up with a hand mixer or stand mixer until it’s light and fluffy. It is an amazing, low calorie and no-waste option!
Let us then jump into this recipe for a gluten-free vegan pavlova.
Preparation: 2 hours or overnight
- 3 Tbsp (45ml, 45g) aquafaba from chickpeas
- 90g caster sugar
- ½ tsp white vinegar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp corn starch
- Preheat oven to 110C°.
- Take parchment or wax paper and draw four circles (7.5cm diameter). Place the paper on the baking tray, pencil-side down.
- Place aquafaba and vinegar in a bowl and beat it with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Start adding the sugar 1-2 tablespoons at a time until thick and glossy. Continue to beat the meringue on high speed. Add the corn starch and the vanilla and beat at low speed until just combined.
- Using the pencil lines as a guide, spoon 4 rounds of meringue onto the prepared sheet. Indent the centre of each meringue with a spoon to achieve a pavlova form.
- Bake the meringues for 2 hours. Switch off the oven and allow them to cool inside the oven with the door closed for at least 2 hours (better yet, leave them in the oven overnight).
- Decorate with cream and fruit before eating.
- 1 cup (240ml) coconut cream
- 2-3 Tbsp sugar
- 1 ½ Tbsp corn starch
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or normal vanilla essence)
- A pinch of turmeric powder
- In a saucepan, place corn starch and 6 tablespoons of coconut cream and stir well. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk well.
- Heat the mixture on a low-medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture thickens.
- Transfer it to a container and cover the surface with a plastic wrap. After it has cooled down, put it in the fridge to chill (this step usually coincides with the meringues being left overnight).
- Before use, whisk the cream until smooth.

Oskar Rüegg AG | The fewer manual steps, the better
Components for the automotive industry have to meet strict quality standards. Yet with increasing cost pressure, companies in this sector are being forced to make their manufacturing as cost-effective as possible. To meet this challenge, a Swiss manufacturer of high-grade formed metal parts invested in customised cleaning trays. These allow the manual steps necessary in parts handling to be reduced to a minimum ? while simultaneously doubling the batch volume. The savings made in this way allow amortisation of the investment within just one year.
Oskar Rüegg AG is based in the Swiss town of Pfäffikon and operates globally in the supply industry. Founded in 1891 as a mechanical workshop, the company today produces large series of highly complex machined aluminium, stainless steel and non-ferrous metal parts as well as assemblies using pressing, bending and deep-drawing techniques. These parts are used in the automotive, audio, lighting, electrical and electronics industries, as well for mechanical engineering and building applications. "A large part of the formed metal parts we produce goes to so-called "tier 1" suppliers in the automotive industry.
These include many visible and functional parts for lighting units, such as light screens, reflectors or casing shells for the electronic control system of the lights", explains Monika Schibler, who is responsible for maintenance, environmental management and workplace safety at Oskar Rüegg and is integrated in the decision-making process for special tasks. These special tasks include parts cleaning. Before the workpieces can be delivered or preassembled to form assemblies, the oil used during pressing has to be removed. The company uses a modern, environmentally friendly VAIOCS (Vacuum Assisted Inorganic Organic Cleaning System) from EMO Oberflächentechnik for this.
This system works in a vacuum and is operated with DOWCLENE 1601, a non-chlorinated solvent based on modified alcohols. To meet the various cleanness requirements, the process steps of spray cleaning, immersion cleaning, steam degreasing and drying, as well as the rotary and pivoting movements of the cleaning basket are selected via programs on the control system.
The cleaning basket plays an important role
70 to 80% of the parts are cleaned as bulk goods in standard baskets, while the other 20 to 30% are cleaned as positioned goods in specially manufactured workpiece holder systems. Some time ago, Oskar Rüegg experienced quality problems, whereby the bulk parts were being deformed during the cleaning process. This prompted the company to look for alternative cleaning baskets. It was following a tip from Cleantec AG, the Swiss representative of EMO Oberflächentechnik, that they became aware of the company Metallform Wächter from Bretten, Germany. "We were very impressed with the company's Mefo-Box system. It was the only system in which all components could be combined with one another in virtually any mix. Metallform also gave me a guaranteed maximum temperature, up to which we could perform the subsequent heat treatment of the bulk parts in the baskets. All other manufacturers told me that we couldn't do that with their cleaning baskets. The Mefo-Box was not the cheapest system, but the quality was right and the baskets are extremely durable", explains Ms. Schibler. The company also has Metallform manufacture the workpiece holder systems for the parts to be cleaned as positioned goods. And Oskar Rüegg regularly presents the design department at the basket manufacturer with tough tasks. This was also the case when developing a cleaning tray which, to increase profitability, had to be matched precisely to the packaging container of an Oskar Rüegg customer.
Packing 35 parts with a single movement
Having received an order for the production of casing half-shells for the electronic control unit of lights, the company had to develop a workpiece holder system that would meet extremely strict cleanness requirements. However, due to a subsequent change to the specs, this cleaning basket was no longer ideal. Following the pressing work, the half-shells are placed in special plastic trays and transported to the degreasing unit. A changeover procedure takes place here, during which the parts are laid individually into the workpiece holder system for cleaning. The batch size was around 330 parts. The parts then have to be packed in trays provided by the customer, each of which holds 35 pieces, and hermetically sealed ready for transport. This required a further manual changeover procedure, during which each of the 35 parts was rotated individually and placed in the packaging. The large proportion of manual work not only made the production process more expensive, it also led to bottlenecks in capacity before the cleaning unit. Special shifts had to be worked to clean all the parts produced. The Swiss company therefore turned to Metallform with the task of developing a cleaning basket that would allow the large number of manual steps to be reduced to a minimum, but which still offered the best cleaning quality. The contact at Oskar Rüegg was again impressed with Metallform's design collaboration and excellent consulting.
Metallform's design department developed a workpiece holder to perfectly match the transport and packaging trays. The company can now transport 35 parts from the transport tray to the cleaning basket and then, following the washing process, onward to the packaging stage with just a single movement. The challenge here was to keep the parts secure while still being able to release them easily without damaging them during refill processes. This made the overall cleaning and packaging process significantly faster and more economic. In addition, several of the new workpiece holders can be grouped together to form a batch, which has nearly doubled the batch volume.
An investment that pays for itself
For Oskar Rüegg, the redevelopment of the workpiece holders required a significant initial investment. "With the cleaning baskets, we have the potential to make huge savings. Indeed, the savings are so great that the investment will have paid for itself within just a single year", explains Ms. Schibler.

Planning on visiting Amsterdam any time soon? Then be sure to not miss a boat trip in Amsterdam on the canals! As Amsterdam has a lot of canals running through the city, the boat is a very nice way of looking at the city from a different perspective. You can sit back and relax and take up all the beautiful architecture and history this cosy city has to offer.
A tour guide on board
Most of the boat tours that are offered, have a guide on board who tells you alle about the history of the city. Some tour operators don’t have a guide live on board, but they will give information through speakers or you can have an individual device specific to your language. The tour guides on the boats can tell you stories at every corner of the canals! It’s incredible. Amsterdam used to be a trading city and had a very important location in The Netherlands for traders. So there’s a lot of history in just a few bloks, or as the Dutch call it: grachten (can you pronounce this?!).
The city center is filled with pick up points for boat trips. There are even companies that leave every half hour in high season! These companies are the most popular ones. Some tour operators leave every hour/two hours. Make sure to check this beforehand.
Boat trip at night
Would you like to see the city at night on the canals? Then be sure to book a boat trip at night. You will feel the buzz of the city at night. This experience will be very nice. You will see all the lights on at night and behind it the dark sky. An experience to never forget!
Barbecue boat trip
You can also make the boat trip during the evening a bit more special! There are boat companies offering a dinner on the boat. A recommendation is to take the Barbecue boat. On this boat they serve you a ‘boat-beer-buffet’. Meaning you can choose your meal from a large buffet (most of the items prepared on the barbecue) and you can enjoy a nice cold beer. You can book this boat with a group of friends as well! Will the weather be a bit colder when you visit Amsterdam? They have heaters on the upstairs deck to keep you comfortable in colder weather conditions.

After our succesful exhibition of Burak Arikan’s work, Data Asymmetry, I am posting some of the interviews and material that came out of the exhibition.
Here’s a video interview we did with Arikan setting up the exhibition in the Winchester gallery in November 2016:
And then there’s the interview(s) in Furtherfield: Carleigh Morgan interviewed Burak in the part 1 of the interview about Data Asymmetry and myself in part 2 of the interview. The interview(s) address mapping as a collective experiment, networks as events, (art) methodologies of working with data and a lot of other topics related to internet culture.
One does not need an episode of Black Mirror to imagine this quiet future-now landscape: the smaller and smaller rural towns and villages in Finland, emptied of jobs, paper factories, community halls and services.
First came the replacement of the abandoned paper mills with international corporate data server facilities. Gradually the towns turned only into pokestops for the random visitors passing by.
The 21st century Finnish version of the lyrics “This town, is coming like a ghost town” is the ghostly presence of a pokestop that is too far away. The last pokestop.
Sadie Plant is such an iconic figure in the study of digital culture and media theory. Here’s her short text on tulips, viruses, spam and modern economy. She wrote this as the Foreword to our Spam Book and here you can access it as a teaser-trailer to the book itself! It speaks of digital anomalies but through the colourful words of tulips and the tulipmania:
“Tulipmania was certainly a great irregularity, a malfunctioning of seventeenth century financial markets causing the first such large-scale economic crash. It was a kind of fever: the craze was as infectious as the virus itself, a runaway sequence of events triggered by the smallest of anomalies – which was, as it happens, effectively repressed as soon as its nature was known: once it was discovered, after nearly three centuries, that a disease was the agent of tulip variegation, the virus was eliminated by the tulip industry. Modern striped, multicoloured, and frilled tulips are the flowers of healthy bulbs, bred to emulate those of their virally infected predecessors: the effects remain, but the virus has gone. Order has been restored. ”
(As an addition, here’s our Introduction to the same volume, written together with Tony D. Sampson: “On Anomalous Objects of Digital Culture“).
The new issue of Journal of Visual Culture is a celebration of Marshall McLuhan. The Canadian media theorist’s classic book, Understanding Media: Extensions of Man, was published 50 years ago and editor Raiford Guins asked several writers to remember the book with a very short text. The texts in the issue are reactions, variations, recollections and remediations of McLuhan and his themes.
My own text (pp.91-93) was written in Istanbul: a short variation on McLuhan, urban space, weaponization and media environments.
Jussi Parikka: “McLuhan at Taksim Square”
I was carrying a fresh copy of Understanding Media with me on Istiklal Street, Istanbul, alongside people in gas masks and police in riot gear. It no longer felt relevant to write about past experiences of engaging with the book or to reflect on McLuhan as a forerunner of media archaeology. This time I did not want to write about ‘anti-McLuhan’ minor histories of media technologies: the ones that do not take media as extensions of Man but as extensions of the animal – for instance, insects – as their starting point (Parikka, 2010).
Travelling from the Anatolian side of Istanbul with a ferry to Kabatas, the chapter on ‘Weapons’ seemed to strike a chord. Extensive tear-gassing and police operations had turned some parts of the city into something unrecognizable, like in a state of emergency. The events at Gezi Park and its occupation grew from an environmental protest to widespread demonstrations across Turkey. Besides the environmental context, the demonstrations were against the authoritarian measures of the state: excessive tear-gassing, random arrests, and persecution of journalists, spokesmen and – women. In the light of McLuhan one starts to think about the various cultural techniques and media contexts of the events in Istanbul. The usual suspects – social media such as Twitter – were quickly acknowledged as important platforms of knowledge sharing but also for a circulation of the affects of outrage, disbelief and defiance. Online media services seemed to quickly open up a new forum for political discussion, crystallized in the inventive use of hashtags as forms of software literacy. When the mainstream media were airing documentaries on penguins, tweets from Gezi were distributing a whole different set of images about what was happening to public space in Turkey. Tear gas produced its own eerie atmosphere on the streets of Istanbul, which had quickly transformed into policed spaces accessible only with gas masks: a denial of the breath (Sloterdijk, 2009).
Walking up from Kabatas port towards Taksim, one could observe this sort of expansion of the meaning of media. This is where McLuhan is at his best. Media are not only about cinema, television, and radio. We start to see the world as media in itself: roads and surfaces, windows and squares become ways of mediating our relation to time and space. Walls are painted with ad hoc slogans; sprayed with images and words in order to mark a territory but also to leave a trace for the next passerby. The huge letters ‘GAZDOGAN’ referred to the prime minister Tayyip Erdogan and the tear-gas tactics of the government. Not only Facebook walls, but the city walls became quick and dirty media surfaces: I was struck by a photograph of an older Turkish man, in his 70s, drawing the face of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk on the wall. Then he walked to another street corner and drew another face of Mustafa Kemal. It was Kemal who introduced the Latin-based alphabet to Turkey in the 1920s and 1930s: in addition to a Europeanization of Turkey as a way to detach from the writing systems of Arabic and Persian origins, it was also ‘modernization’ in relation to the media technologies of telegraphy and the printing press to which the discrete nature was better suited. The alphabet escorts both a geopolitical orientation as well as entertains a relation to various technological changes not without an effect on our perceptual dispositions.
Atatürk persists as a symbolic reference point for various nationalist protestors: his political heritage nature is remediated as content of chants and demands of political nature. The visual space is not only about figures of Atatürk but also more carnevalistic: penguins (as a reference to mainstream media censorship) are suddenly as popular a source of remix and memes as cats usually are in internet culture. Political expression takes the form of artistic expression: ‘the artist must ever play and experiment with new means of arranging experience, even though the majority of his audience may prefer to remain fixed in their old perceptual attitudes’, writes McLuhan (2001: 276) in the chapter on the telegraph.
The online and the city are paired up in this production of visual resistance, but let’s not get too focused on content. One is struck by McLuhan’s reminder that ‘the city, itself, is traditionally a military weapon, and is a collective shield or armor plate, an extension of the castle of our very skins’ (p. 374). This idea is informative of the role of security, war and the city, but it also misses the point about the past years of security regimes which turn the city into an autoimmune disorder: the inhabitants become the targets of police forces, in relation to global events such as G8/G20 meetings (Renzi and Elmer, 2012), as well as such events as those in Turkish cities. But this autoimmune disease of the city does not extend the skin, but attacks the respiratory organs of people with tear gas. It burns the skin when the chemicals are infused with the water in water cannons. McLuhan is constantly useful as a reminder that media are everywhere, and are able to lock our senses in particular ways – perhaps not in the way that there would be always one dominating media episteme, such as literacy (cf. McLuhan, 2001: 373), but more temporarily as a form of attention management. Instead, there is a constant contestation as to the forms of media power: mainstream television might be producing visions of coldness, like documentaries about penguins, but that feeds back to remediations that expand the time and space of what we mean by media itself.

Our co-organised event at SALT Galata in Istanbul gathered quite a good crowd of people interested in politics and software practices of archives. Together with Burak Arikan, and support from SALT and Winchester School of Art, we were able to get together great insights from academic, curatorial, and software art practice angles on how to think about cultural memory in the technological age. Our initial plan was to focus more on software art and archival question but in the light of past month or so, we wanted to make sure some sort of a connection to Gezi park, Istanbul and Turkey becomes visible. The talks are being uploaded online as video – below mine for those interested. It focused on questions of circulation, media practices, memory and archives in the techno-political context and asked the question of why might a future archivist suddenly find not only cute cat pictures circulating in the internet spaces of June 2013, but also so many penguins. I wanted to reflect on questions of memory and media practices through various examples of the creative visual culture surrounding the past events in Istanbul and Turkey.
We also gathered some follow-up interest. For instance the Today’s Zaman-newspaper interviewed me about the event: “is today’s media tomorrow’s archive?”
Here is Ebru Yetiskin’s article after the event: “Farklı Kaydet: Yeni Medya, Toplumsal Bellekler ve Başka Gelecekler” (in Turkish).

SALT Galata Atelier IV, Istanbul
Participants: Burak Arıkan, Joasia Krysia, Nicolas Malevé, Ali Miharbi, Jussi Parikka
One of the major concerns during the Gezi resistance was how to keep our memories, our pain and grief, our anger, our gains, and our losses alive. We tried to preserve our experiences and present them in numerous media. However, we haven’t had the time and means to critically approach to the rapidly growing archives or to create technologically enhanced curated content.
This symposium brings together three artists, a curator, and an academic who works in the area of software art, archive, and media archaeology. Cultural practices that use the language of technology and digital born content from different perspectives of preservation and memory will be debated. How can we preserve the software itself along with the content it generates? In what way should we consider software itself as the creative archive, arche, of our digital culture? What new archival practices does technology-based art and culture present? How do software, social media, and network practices introduce a sphere of counter-representation which curate alternative narratives of the present? Panelists will discuss the topics of archiving the present as we live, algorithmic curating in crisis, critical collective intelligence, and language of technology as a thinking tool.

Jussi Parikka – Media Archaeology: Archives of the Present
Media Archaeology has emerged the past years as a dynamic theory about media culture. This refers to the impact it has had in giving a vocabulary for the material constitution of contemporary technical media culture. Media archaeology examines media technical conditions of existence of culture, and as such, is in a good position to frame the relevance of software for questions of the archive.
However, media archaeology is also a way to investigate the ontology of the present: it asks what sorts of mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion constitute what we perceive, and what remains unperceived? How is the network conditioning our sense of knowledge and our sense of the everyday? How will the speculative future archivist, looking back at June 2013, see and understand our events and networked condition, conditioned by software as well as its political context.

Nicolas Malevé – Sniff and sneak through my archives
‘(6/24/1996 9:44pm, Personal)”
Will she (either of them) share the love of pornography? Or at least, art? I shall present myself to both of them as a geniality self-flagellat%n machine. Just one bottle tonight, ok? I shall invite them on to my journey of change, showing the way ahead. Immortality. I will let them to sniff and sneak through my archives. (Erkki Kurenniemi, Newton diary, 1996).
The presentation will take as a point of departure the rich set of documents collected and created by Erkki Kurenniemi, Finnish pioneering electro acoustic musician and inventor of early synthesizers, who obsessively recorded his life. The talk will introduce to the different tools and methods we, Michael Murtaugh and Nicolas Malevé, members of the Belgian collective Constant, used to enter in dialog with the vast amount of unclassified documents that constitute the humus for an archive of Kurenniemi’s work.
These tools are our intermediaries, our extra senses to “read” the images, to “listen” to the sounds, to “watch” the videos. The algorithms we borrow, design or customize become our interlocutors. They report back from what they detect, correlate and connect in the different layers of data. They are different voices, each telling a its own story. Having presented these different voices, we will see what happens when other human agents (lawyers, archive institutions) join the dialogue between these intermediaries and ourselves.
Nicolas Malevé Bio
Since 1998 Nicolas Malevé, multimedia artist, has been an active member of the association Constant. As such, he has taken part in organizing various activities to do with alternatives to copyrights, such as Copy.cult & The Original Si(g)n, held in 2000. He has been developing multimedia projects and web applications for cultural organisations. His research work is currently focused on information structures, metadata and the semantic web and the means to visually represent them.
Ali Miharbi – Language of technology as a thinking tool
In this presentation I will sketch the potential of the language of technology as a tool to open up, enrich or simply illustrate our current discussions on social/political issues. Using examples of my work as points of departure I will touch on a variety of concepts like performativity, humor and the problem of representation.
Ali Miharbi Bio
Ali Miharbi (b. 1976) lives and works in Istanbul. He acquired a dual degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering (BS, 2000) and Art Theory & Practice – Painting (BA, 2000) at Northwestern University. In 2010 he completed his MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. He opened his first solo exhibition at Interstate Projects, Brooklyn, NY. His recent group exhibitions include “Commons Tense”, Electriciteitsfabriek, The Hague (2012), “Turkish Art New and Superb”, TANAS, Berlin (2012), “Consequences are no coincidence”, Pilot Galeri, Istanbul (2012), “video_dumbo: Quasi Cinema”, Dumbo Arts Center, Brooklyn, New York (2011), “FILE 2011″, FIESP Cultural Center, São Paulo (2010), “When Ideas Become Crime”, Depo, Istanbul (2010). His work can take many forms from photographic, graphic or sculptural pieces to dynamic systems driven by live or stored data where he investigates mechanisms that underlie or are constituted by the flows of daily life.
Joasia Krysia – Speculations on Algorithmic Curating
Between the 1960s and 2005, Erkki Kurenniemi, the Finnish artist, scientist, futurologist and technology pioneer set out to document his everyday life with the intention to create a template for all human life that could be reenacted by algorithms to be written in a future quantum world (with the date 2048 in mind). In a wider sense Kurenniemi acted not only as an archivist of his life but also a kind of curator – working with materials not simply to collect and store but to shape using computational power once it is sufficient for purpose. In 2012 Constant Association for Art and Media began to develop some experiments, making programs to begin to understand Kurenniemi’s materials in ways that go beyond the traditional archiving procedures of ordering and classifying. I would like to argue that their approach is not simply archival either but curatorial in as much as they uncover aspects of what is not directly apparent in the material and produce meaning out of the work. This talk speculates further on this algorithmic approach and extend it to possibilities of thinking about the curatorial process in this way. I want to speculate on the use of algorithms in producing small curatorial experiments that begin to suggest new ways of understanding materials that are not directly apparent to human curators. Can we begin to think of curatorial processes and the production of curatorial knowledge that extends human agency and uncovers dynamic qualities of materials?

Her current curatorial work include Systemic Series, a two year programme developed for Kunsthal Aarhus (2013-2014).
Burak Arıkan – Counter Collective Intelligence
Arıkan will pursue a traversal in his works, starting from MyPocket (2008) and raising questions on the preservation of immateriality; discussing Network Map of Foundations and Corporations in Turkey (2010) in relation to power and governence during the Gezi protests; narrating the collective network diagrams generated on the Graph Commons platform (2011-); and finally calling for action for a recent data research and mapping project, code named “Network of Dispossessions”, mapping of government-corporate partnerships in urban transformation.
Burak Arıkan Bio
Burak Arıkan is an artist working with complex networks. He takes the obvious social, economical, and political issues as input and runs through an abstract machinery, which generates network maps and algorithmic interfaces, results in performances, and procreates predictions to render inherent power relationships visible, thus discussable. Recent exhibitions include: Home Works 6 (2013), 11th Sharjah Biennial (2013), 7th Berlin Biennale (2012), and Nam June Paik Award Exhibition (2012). Arıkan is the founder of Graph Commons platform, dedicated to provide “network intelligence” for everyone.

It was summed up in a tweet: this could be the Turkish Spring. The person was referring to a CNNturk broadcast, which finally had picked up the story of the past days of occupation of the Gezi park in Istanbul and the following police violence. A peaceful protest turned into widely circulating images of tear gas, facial injuries, and a range of police measures that anyone seeing the pictures could not see as proportionate, despite some government officials trying to dismiss the events. Some tweeters escorted their images of tear gas filled Taksim with a reminder: “this is not Middle East, this is Istanbul”.
The occupations had to do with a tactical colonialisation of both hashtag space and real lived urban space. The fit to purpose and inevitable hashtags had already paved the way on Twitter: #Occupygezi and #Occupytaksim signalled the connection to the widely known occupation of the Zuccotti Park in New York that spread as model for global reappropriations: occupation of public streets as a form of reclaiming the commons. Such occupations were never really only about that particular space, but also more abstract but as real features: protests against the logic of financial capitalism and their relation to the securitization of public space.
The events at the Gezi Park might have started with protection of trees planned to be bulldozed to make space for yet another city mall, but they revealed much about the recent urban planning of Istanbul as well as global capitalism.
Istanbul had seen rather worrying street action the past months already: For instance the movement against the demolishing of the historical Emek film theatre was met by water cannons and tear gas. In less violent news, which however have to do with public space as well, the new legislation restricts retail sales of alcohol during the night and bans selling of alcohol near mosques.
Besides urban space, natural space has been another target. The plan to build a third bridge over Bosphorus has been fiercely criticized by a range of environmental and other groups for its clear madness: in addition to the massive cutting down of trees, such building projects including the new airport set to open in 2018 are a threat to the water resources of the area.
Of course slogans and hashtags matter in how they condense and collect a range of different images, narratives, participant accounts and political sentiments. Social media acted as a way to quick and dirty collating of material, not least images like on the tumblr site: http://occupygezipics.tumblr.com/ . Hence the reference to “Arab Spring” was something of a rather successful slogan. After all, Turkey was supposed to be the democratic moderate Muslim country acting as a role for the uprising Arab countries.
However, the past years have seen more of international attention to the range of human rights violations against journalists and activists. The events at Gezi Park are in this sense a rather logical continuation of control of public space that in Istanbul is paradoxically mixed with a political ignorance of specialist urban planners voicing their concerns. On the one hand, lots of the massive sizes building projects are short-sighted in terms of their implications for the environment and the long term future of the city. This includes lack of planning for instance for public transport, which in a city completely congested by millions of cars is not a minor feature. On the other hand, the police measures that restrict the public space and political protest are showing how the major financial investments and projects are tightly linked with authoritarian security.
Indeed, besides being able to tap into the past years of legacy of Occupy-movements as well as Arab Spring, the case for OccupyIstanbul is emblematic of bigger contexts. Like seemingly every contemporary struggle, the urban battle of Gezi park and the real-world struggle with capitalist development and authoritarian policing exists at in real spaces and commons and in digital hashtag spaces with established news agencies covering the former by following the latter.
But it also should be read again as part of a longer development: the exploitation of ecological resources and the public urban commons, and the connection between short-sighted economically driven planning with totalitarian security is something we should understand is not restricted to Istanbul.
People might be now wondering how can a city that is applying for the Olympics 2020 demonstrate such reckless behaviour. Unfortunately, this is actually not that contradictory. It also shows the capacity to control the public space, protect the commercial environments and brands and take necessary measures in construction projects to pave the way for global cultural events. In London, the Olympic year of 2012 London was also the year of Occupy movement camping front of St. Paul’s Cathedral. London 2012 might not have been a violent affair but it demonstrated a link between police-governed high tech security and global brands.

CUTTING-EDGE CONGENITAL CARE
“In the newborn population, there are many [heart] conditions that may need surgery. One of the things to remember is that these types of surgery that are being done in the newborn period are relatively new, at least in the past 10 to 20 years,” says Dr. Joanne Starr. “Because of the technology, now we’re able to perform complex surgeries.”
BLUE IS FOR BLOOD VESSEL
“When a baby is born with what’s called transposition of the great vessels, the two major arteries that come out of the heart are switched around,” says Dr. Starr. “The artery that’s supposed to go to the body is going to the lungs and the one that’s supposed to go to the lungs is going to the body. So the blood is mixed and the patient is blue, and that requires surgery in the newborn period.”
WHAT IS CHD?
“Congenital heart disease is a defect that forms while the baby is in the womb and the child is born with it, as opposed to an adult, who has coronary artery disease that’s acquired,” says Dr. Starr. “We usually separate out the disease into two categories: those who have enough blood flow to the lungs and those that do not,” says Dr. Starr.
SURGERY: WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW
Before, during and after your child’s heart surgery, CHOC’s specialized team of doctors and nurses prepare parents for what to expect, including what their child will look like. Many parents wonder if their child will be like other kids after surgery. “Very frequently the answer is yes,” says Dr. Starr. “They may have special needs, but if you go to a playground you won’t know the difference between a child that’s had heart disease and a child that hasn’t,” she says.
- The number of congenital heart disease cases that CHOC handles yearly: 200 – 300
- Number of hours heart surgery can last: 3 to 4 hours
- Number of beds in CHOC’s Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit: 12

The bright side is that as of today RadioShack. Capacitor Discharge Tool Radioshack… has formally been acquired by Retail Ecommerce Ventures (REV), providing the distressed business a brand-new lease on life. The downside, at least for folks like us, is that there are no instant plans to return the iconic electronics seller to its brick-and-mortar roots. As the name implies, REV specializes in online retail, having actually formerly revamped the Web existence of other bankrupt organizations such as Pier 1 Imports and Dressbarn.
While the press release does not straight-out preclude the possibility of brand-new physical RadioShack areas, it’s clear that REV thinks the future of retail isn’t to be found in your regional strip mall. As the United States mulls further lockdowns in reaction to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, it’s difficult to disagree. There will be countless bored kids and grownups trying to find something to do throughout the long winter nights, and an electronic package or 2 shipped to their door might be just the important things.
REV says they prepare to relaunch the rather dated RadioShack site in the nick of time for the company’s 100th anniversary in 2021. As of this composing the website currently says that sales have actually been temporarily stopped to enable inventory restructuring, though it’s uncertain if this is straight related to the buyout or not. Getting an accurate count of just how much merchandise the company still has on hand after shuttering the majority of their physical locations in 2017 definitely seems like something the new owners would wish to do.
We all know how that story ended.
RadioShack’s shambling remains were offered another jolt of life today when they were acquired by another company that prepares to relaunch the once-great retailer as an online-focused brand name.
The shop’s remains were purchased by Retail Ecommerce Ventures (REV), a startup founded in 2019 that’s been scooping up brand names from other faded retail giants too, including Pier 1, Modell’s Sporting Item, Dressbarn, and more. REV states RadioShack’s website already has “strong existing sales and sales potential,” and the business is “confident” it can further raise awareness of the brand globally.
REV declares it’s effectively reversed other business it’s released as online brands. The Wall Street Journal reported that Dressbarn more than doubled its earnings between the second and very first quarter of 2020.
RadioShack was founded in 1921 and ended up being a retail staple in the ’80s and ’90s for anyone looking to get tech basics. REV didn’t state whether those RadioShack licenses would stick around. Capacitor Discharge Tool Radioshack
REV states it will “quickly relaunch” RadioShack’s site. So for those of you still clinging on to fond memories of the store, there’ll be a familiar enough place to go when you want to purchase costly HDMI cable televisions and knockoff earphones.

Having higher levels of ‘the sunshine vitamin’ was shown to reduce the risk of infection in the Black population, a new study has revealed.
Almost half of Americans are vitamin D deficient, according to David O. Meltzer, MD, PhD, the chief of hospital medicine at University of Chicago Medicine. But more than three quarters of people with darker skin have low levels of this crucial nutrient.
He was inspired to examine the data on Covid-19 cases, after seeing an article more than a year ago reporting that people taking vitamin D supplements had much lower rates of viral respiratory infections.
The study analyzed over 3,000 patients in the city who had had their vitamin D measured within two weeks of a Covid-19 test.
Levels of at least 30 ng/ml (nanograms per milliliter) are usually considered “sufficient”, but black participants with that level of vitamin D had more than two and half times greater risk of catching Covid than those who had 40 ng/ml or more.
RELATED: Anyone in These States Can Get a Covid-19 Vaccine, Thanks to Several Native Tribes
They had a 7.2 percent chance of testing positive for the virus—2.64 times higher than the general population.
Vitamin D can be obtained through eating egg yolks, salmon, or meat or taking supplements, but it is also produced naturally by the body when skin is exposed to to sunlight.
People with darker skin, are more often deficient because having more melanin in their skin reduces their ability to synthesize vitamin D from the sun.
The findings published in JAMA Open Network build on an earlier trial suggesting less than 20 ng/ml of vitamin D raise the risk of Covid.
Another recent study showed over eight in ten coronavirus patients were vitamin D deficient.
“This supports arguments for designing clinical trials that can test whether or not vitamin D may be a viable intervention to lower the risk of the disease, especially in persons of color,” said Dr Meltzer, the study’s lead author.

The supplements are relatively safe to take—and currently, the adult recommended dietary allowance for vitamin D is 600 to 800 IUs per day (15 to 20 micrograms). The NHS in Britain recommends taking 10 micrograms of vitamin D every day in the winter—the equivalent of one salmon fillet—to keep bones and muscles healthy.
But they have updated their advice since lockdowns are driving Britons indoors.
“The National Academy of Medicine has said that taking up to 4,000 IUs per day is safe for the vast majority of people,” adds Meltzer.

One of the challenges of the current study is it is difficult to determine exactly how vitamin D may be supporting immune function.
Dr Meltzer said: “This is an observational study. We can see there is an association between vitamin D levels and likelihood of a Covid-19 diagnosis.
“But we don’t know exactly why that is, or whether these results are due to the vitamin D directly or other related biological factors.”
Prompted by the fresh evidence, the researchers are now conducting two studies to learn if taking a daily supplement can help prevent Covid-19 or decrease the severity of its symptoms—and British Health Secretary Matt Hancock has reversed his previous beliefs and asked Public Health England to “re-review the existing evidence on the link between Covid-19 and Vitamin D.”
