The Coxswain And The George Elmy
Statue In Seaham, County Durham
A Coxswain Statue by Ray Lonsdale is a tribute to the RNLI and the 9 lives lost on the Lifeboat 'The George Elmy'.
The Coxswain statue stands on the quay. A Coxswain is responsible for the steering and navigation of a boat, with the name deriving from cock boat (a type of boat) and sveinn, an old Norse word meaning boy or servant.
This piece honours the sacrifices made by the staff and crew of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
Ray cuts or chops (with a guillotine) Corten steel into pieces and then welds them together forming his trademark artwork. This then oxides to have that pleasing rusty patina.
Ray has said “The sculpture itself was interesting to make with its period clothing and movement in the pose.....It was down to me to come up with the pose, but I wanted it to have some movement. So the plinth is the deck of the boat and he's battling the waves."
Here is the Prowse from Mr. Lonsdale.
'The Coxwains Cry'
There's a white horse coming with many friends,
And I think they'll take us down,
So grab a hold lads and take care of yourselves,
For the sea may have us now.
This Coxswain is lifesize and is at the helm, askew, battling a stormy sea. You can see the pursed lips depicting determination and concentration. He is dressed in 1950s style with oilskins, sou'wester, and life jacket.
The statue is poignant as you will read about The George Elmy Lifeboat below.
The unveiling took place in 2016. Mr. Lonsdale commented at the time
“There's a difference in scale to Tommy but I hope this statue attracts people to come down here and learn more about the work of the RNLI."
This leads us nicely to the building nearby where the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was on the Quayside from 1870 to 1979.
The attached Fisherman's Cabin is the East Durham Heritage and Lifeboat Centre (EDHLC) which opened in 2013.
This is run by the East Durham Heritage Group (EDHG). They are a dedicated group of knowledgeable volunteers that formed in 2007 initially covering Seham and the surrounding area.
You will find all sorts of information and artifacts in the museum. Please check opening times on their website.
Their pièce de resistance is the George Elmy Lifeboat which was stationed at Seaham from 1950 to 1962 and the Coxswain statue is dressed in what the crew would have worn.
It was called the George Elmy as it was paid for by a legacy from Elizabeth Elmy in remembrance of her brother.
The George Elmy had 26 call outs and rescued 20 people in its 12-year tenure.
Visitors can also see the restored George Elmy lifeboat and learn about the tragic events of the 17th of November 1962. It was called out with 5 volunteers to find the missing cobbler Economy which was found with the 4 man crew and a 9 year old boy. All were recused into the lifeboat. However the sea conditions were atrocious, and just as they came within yards of the harbour entrance the George Elmy was struck by gigantic waves and capsized taking with it 8 people including the boy. One person hung on inside the boat until it washed up on Chemical Beach, south of the harbour.
The boat then went to serve Poole, Dorset after extensive repairs, then slipped into obscurity, until 2009 when it appeared on ebay.
Local enthusiasts raised funds to buy it from the person who had bought it on ebay. With much TLC, technical, and restoration work it is sea-worthy once more and occasionally goes out on special days.

The resistance to creation which the writer encounters in his creature is sufficiently evident, both to himself and to others—particularly to those others who have the misfortune to live with him during the period when his Energy is engaged on a job of work…. But that a work of creation struggles and insistently demands to be brought into being is a fact that no genuine artist would think of denying. Often, the demand may impose itself in defiance of the author’s considered interests and at the most inconvenient moments. Publisher, bank-balance, and even the conscious intellect may argue that the writer should pursue some fruitful and established undertaking; but they will argue in vain against the passionate vitality of a work that insists on manifestation.

You know just when to change and look at something else. Never too much of anyone… The reason the book is true is that you always stop at the point where more talk would have been false, untrue, confusing, irrelevant. It is not that what you say is true. It is neither true nor false, it points in the right direction, where there is something that has not been said and you know enough not to try to say it.

All children hope that they will someday make more money than their parents; just as parents hope their children will live more fulfilling lives than they did. These goals imply economic growth for the society as a whole. If the country expands its economic pie, there is more to go around for everyone. But economic growth could lead to excessive use of natural resources and other environmental amenities. If this is the case, there may be conflicts between growth and environmental protection, both of which are important social objectives. Exactly what is the relationship between economic growth and the use of environmental resources?

New Faculty Publication: Foundations of Modernity
Prof. Isa Blumi of the History Department has recently published Foundations of Modernity: Human Agency and the Imperial State.
In Foundations of Modernity, Blumi investigates how a number of modern empires transformed over the long 19th century (1789-1914) as a consequence of their struggle for ascendancy in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. Blumi’s analysis moves the study of the modern empire towards a comparative, trans-regional analysis of events along the Ottoman frontiers: Western Balkans, the Persian Gulf and Yemen. This inter-disciplinary approach of studying events at different ends of the Ottoman Empire challenges previous emphasis on Europe as the only source of change and highlights the progression of modern imperial states. (Adapted from publisher’s information).
The book introduces an entirely new analytical approach to the study of modern state power and the social consequences to the interaction between long-ignored “historical agents” like pirates, smugglers, refugees, and the rural poor. In this respect, the roots of the most fundamental institutions and bureaucratic practices associated with the modern state prove to be the by-products of certain kinds of productive exchange long categorized in negative terms in post-colonial and mainstream scholarship. Such a challenge to conventional methods of historical and social scientific analysis is reinforced by the novel use of the work of Louis Althusser, Talal Asad, William Connolly and Frederick Cooper, whose challenges to scholarly conventions will prove helpful in changing how we understand the origins of our modern world and thus talk about Modernity. This book offers a methodological and historiographic intervention meant to challenge conventional studies of the modern era. (From publisher’s information).
Blumi, who published an editorial in the New York Times last spring on the Yemen uprising, is the author of several other books on the Middle East, including:
- Chaos in Yemen: Societal Collapse and the New Authoritarianism (2011)
- Reinstating the Ottomans: Alternative Balkan Modernities, 1800-1912 (2011)
- Rethinking the Late Ottoman Empire: A Comparative Social and Political History of Albania and Yemen, 1878-1918 (2003)

US President Joe Biden has begun to undo some of Donald Trump’s key policies, hours after being sworn in.
“There is no time to waste when it comes to tackling the crises we face,” he tweeted as he headed to the White House following his inauguration.
President Biden signed 15 executive orders, firstly to boost the federal response to the coronavirus crisis.
Other orders reverse the Trump administration’s stance on climate change and immigration.
Mr. Biden set to work at the Oval Office having been sworn in earlier on Wednesday as the 46th President of the United States.
The inauguration was unlike any other due to coronavirus restrictions, with few present to witness the oaths and ceremonies.
Donald Trump – who has still not formally conceded the presidency to Mr. Biden – snubbed the event in a departure from long-standing precedent.
“Democracy has prevailed,” President Biden said after taking the oath of office with Chief Justice John Roberts.
Delivering a message of unity after the turbulent Trump years, he promised to be a president “for all Americans” – including those who voted against him.
Three of his predecessors attended the ceremony: Barack Obama – under whom Mr. Biden served for eight years as vice-president – Bill Clinton and George W Bush, as well as Mr. Trump’s vice-president, Mike Pence.
- BREAKING: Hushpuppi released according to Info on the U.S Federal Bureau Of Prisons website (Details)
Kamala Harris was sworn in as vice-president ahead of Mr. Biden. She is the first woman – and the first black and Asian-American person – to serve in the role.
There was extra-tight security for the ceremony at the US Capitol after the building was stormed by violent pro-Trump protesters on 6 January.
Mr Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, together with Ms. Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff, then walked down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House, greeting friends and supporters.
The inauguration ceremony included musical performances by Lady Gaga – who sang the national anthem – as well as Jennifer Lopez and Garth Brooks.
Amanda Gorman, America’s first-ever National Youth Poet Laureate, recited her work The Hill We Climb.
A 90-minute televised evening concert entitled “Celebrating America” was staged at the Lincoln Memorial in the city. Hosted by Tom Hanks, it featured Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, Jon Bon Jovi, Justin Timberlake, and Demi Lovato and culminated in a spectacular fireworks display.
What orders has Biden signed?
President Biden “will take action – not just to reverse the gravest damages of the Trump administration – but also to start moving our country forward,” a statement detailing the executive orders said.
A series of measures will be enacted to tackle the coronavirus pandemic which has claimed more than 400,000 lives in the US.
There will be a mandate to wear masks and practise social distancing on all federal government property.
A new office will be set up to co-ordinate the response to the pandemic and the US will halt the process – begun by the Trump administration – of withdrawing from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The move to re-engage with the WHO was welcomed by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres who said it was “absolutely critical” for a more co-ordinated global response, his spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said.
Mr. Biden has also pledged to make the fight against climate change a top priority of his administration.
He signed an executive order beginning the process of rejoining the 2015 Paris climate agreement, from which Mr. Trump formally withdrew the US last year.
Mr. Biden’s climate envoy, former US Secretary of State John Kerry, tweeted that the commitment set “a floor, not a ceiling” for America’s climate leadership and urged international co-operation ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference (Cop26) in Glasgow in November.
Mr. Biden has also revoked the presidential permit granted to the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline, which environmentalists and Native American groups have fought for more than a decade.
The move will be discussed when Mr. Biden makes his first phone call to a foreign leader – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – on Friday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.
The privately financed pipeline – estimated to cost about $8bn (£5.8bn) – would carry about 830,000 barrels of heavy crude a day from the oil sands of Alberta, in Canada, to Nebraska.
Barack Obama vetoed a bill approving the construction of the pipeline in 2015 but the decision was overturned by President Trump.
On immigration, Mr. Biden has revoked the Trump administration’s emergency declaration that helped fund the building of a wall along the Mexican border and also ended a travel ban on some majority-Muslim countries.
Other orders cover race and gender equality.

In March and April 2020, Moldovan environmental activists came twice to the village of Balabanesti to plant willows by the Dniester river. Planting trees along the watercourses helps to restore landscape and balance in the nature that suffers from weather extremes and to protect local communities from impacts of the climate change. During these two events, 10 people (limited number of participants due to coronavirus situation) planted more than 400 willows and another 500 seedlings are prepared for autumn.
Moldova is one of the countries that are most at risk from climate change. The majority of its population (60 %) lives in the countryside, which is increasingly suffering from extreme droughts and floods. Moldovan rivers are key to improving this situation - the quality of life of a large part of the population depends on the quality of their water and they are crucial for agriculture. One of the ways to protect the rivers is to plant trees that can protect the surrounding landscape from floods and alleviate such destructive climate extremes.
“Usually, small rivers in Moldova do not have the green belt protection, so they are seriously suffering from desertification due to climate change and unsustainable territorial management. Raising of the forest coverage is the only way of adapting to climate change and prevention of the degradation of water resources. We therefore see the afforestation of the country as the only option to solve the issue of the preservation of national agriculture and people's wellbeing,” explains co-organizer of the events Ilya Trombitsky, chairman of Moldovan network of civic initiatives for river protection Eco-TIRAS.
Our activities are funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic from the Transition Promotion Program.

The goal of this study was to identify gaps in the severe acute respiratory infection sentinel surveillance system at Surb Astvatsamayr Medical Center.
Influenza is a priority in Armenia. There are two influenza surveillance systems in Armenia: population and sentinel. The medical center (MC) has been included in sentinel surveillance since 2012. In 2015 a study was undertaken to identify gaps in severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) sentinel surveillance system in Surb Astvatsamayr MC.
Medical records and reporting forms of SARI cases were generated for individuals meeting the case definition and analyzed for age groups, risk factors, sentinel surveillance detection methods, laboratory conformation, number of days hospitalized and reporting.
In 2014, 3016 patients were admitted in the hospital with ARI, of whom 2982 were younger than 18 years. During the 2014-2015 influenza season (week 40, 2014-week 20, 2015), 77 swabs have been taken in total, of which five were influenza positive (4 B and 1 AH1N1). Also in the 2013-2014 influenza season, five samples tested positive (all influenza A). Sixty-one (48%) patients with respiratory disease met the WHO SARI case definition (2011), 84 (66%) of all reviewed patients would have met the SARI case definition. The numbers for the ICU (25 records reviewed) do not reflect the actual percentage of patients admitted with respiratory symptoms. The 33 additional cases taken from the sampling logbook were mainly hospitalized in the ICU. Influenza tests were performed on 34 patients (mainly ICU), five were positive for influenza (four B--all adults—and one AH1N1), and four tested positives for other respiratory pathogens (two RSV, one RV, one BV). All influenza positives had fever or a history of fever and 80% met the WHO SARI case definition (2011). Non-sampled cases generally have fewer reported symptoms, but still 44% of cases fits the WHO SARI case definition (2011).
The percentages of patients meeting the WHO SARI 2011 case definition and the WHO SARI 2014 definition shows that mainly caused by the absence of shortness of breath in the SARI 2014 definition 52% (2011) vs 66% (2014) in Surb Asvatsamayr. A large number of children from Neonatal and Children’s departments fulfil the SARI case definition and could potentially be swabbed in addition to ICU patients. There are gaps in WHO SARI case definitions. The sentinel surveillance system should be improved.

By the same token, government should not be able to choose its own accounting principles. For example, it is accepted practice for the government to decide whether or not it should recognise liabilities. This is wrong.
So is the government’s ability to change the definition of public spending at will. In April shadow chancellor Michael Portillo set up a Shadow National Accounts Commission: a series of distinguished experts in the field of public accounting.
Chaired by Sir Bryan Carsberg, the SNAC’s remit was to examine how a future government could introduce independent and transparent criteria for the presentation of the UK’s public finances. The report was published this week, and its recommendations will form the core of our future policy.
The establishment of an independent National Accounts Committee will be one of the first acts of a new Tory government. The NAC will remove the discretion from the government to distort the national accounts in ways that it deems politically advantageous.
As well as pension liabilities, a subject for the NAC’s attention will be the status of projects under the Private Finance Initiative and Public-Private Partnerships. The NAC will also take a close look at the way the current government regards benefits such as the working family tax credit rather than social security payments.
The NAC will also provide a dose of long-termism by spelling out the financial implications of policy decisions.
Under the current government, the need for such transparency is increasingly obvious. The national accounts are year-by-year falling into disrepute.
Of course, the chancellor would still have total flexibility in policy making, but would have to take account of the commentary provided by the NAC, in a way that previous chancellors have not.
It would be a brave chancellor who consistently failed to consider the advice he was given. Especially if he then turned out to be wrong.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Treasury prices accelerated losses Thursday, pushing benchmark yields up more than 8 basis points after a round of strong data stoked market doubts about the Federal Reserve’s promise to keep its key lending rates low.
The 10-year note US:10_YEAR yield, which rises as prices fall, was up 8.5 basis points on the day at 2.721%, according to Tradeweb. The jump, aided by dwindling volume ahead of an early close and a three-day weekend, marks the biggest move higher in nearly a month.
The 7-year note US:7_YEAR yield rose the most, adding 9 basis points to close at 2.299%.
“There are a lot of different things going on,” said David Robin, co-head of financial futures and options at Newedge. “I think some are position driven, some liquidity driven, but the largest question the market is still trying to figure out is if the Yellen regime can manage the policy path in a very complicated environment.”
In a speech Wednesday, Chairwoman Janet Yellen said that despite indications the U.S. economy is within reach of a healthy recovery, inflation is likely to lag behind. The market has seen below-target inflation as one reason that the central bank may hold its key lending rate near zero for a considerable time period. Nonetheless, the market has been on edge about whether qualitative guidance about when rates will rise will hold up as economic data improve, Robin said.
The 5-year note US:5_YEAR yield rose 7.5 basis points to 1.731%, while the 30-year bond US:30_YEAR yield rose 6.5 basis points to 3.517%. The spread between those two securities dropped to 1.79 percentage points, the least on a closing basis since the fall of 2009, as investors dump intermediate-term securities amid jitters about the Fed’s guidance on when it will raise its funds rate.
The drop in Treasury prices accelerated after the Philadelphia Fed index, an indicator of business conditions in the Philadelphia area, rose to 16.6 in April, compared with 9.0 in March. That was a blowout number compared with economist expectations of 10.0, and the highest reading since last September.
Data on Thursday also showed that the number of people who applied for unemployment benefits last week was close to its lowest level since 2007. Jobless claims, which are often seen as a proxy for layoffs, rose to 304,000 from an upwardly revised 302,000 in the prior week. That number was better than economist forecasts of a 315,000 reading.
TIPS inflation view
The Treasury Department sold $18 billion in 5-year inflation-protected securities at a yield of negative 0.213%. Bidders offered to buy 2.70 times the amount of debt sold, compared with an average of 2.55 times during the past six sales.
Indirect bidders, which can include foreign central banks, came in strong, taking down 58.4% of the sale, compared with a recent average of 41.4%. Direct bidders, which often include domestic money managers, took down 5.9% of the sale, compared with a recent average of 10.9%. Nonetheless, the solid statistics didn’t help out the broader market.
“Indirects took down their largest ever share in a 5-year TIPS auction while dealers came away with their smallest allotment since August 2011,” said Gabriel Mann, market strategist at RBS. “However, the solid statistics did little to help the belly of the Treasury curve find a bid into the close.”
Treasury inflation-protected securities, which increase in principal size along with increases in consumer prices, have been signaling higher expectations for the pace of price increases, despite concerns about inflation expressed by the Federal Reserve.
The difference between the 5-year TIPS yield and the 5-year Treasury note US:5_YEAR yield, was at 2.24 percentage points on Thursday, up from 2.11 percentage points on Monday. Nonetheless, the spread is down from a recent peak of 2.30 percentage points at the beginning of March.
The differential, often called the breakeven rate because it signifies the pace of inflation necessary for TIPS to outperform nominal Treasurys, is a key bond-market indicator about inflation expectations. With inflation muted at the moment, TIPS have performed poorly over the past year.
Pimco has said inflation is persistently low, which means the Fed won’t be in a hurry to raise rates. Nonetheless investors are split on the securities, with big names like DoubleLine Capital’s Jeffrey Gundlach shunning the asset class, while other investors have bought up the securities.
Michael Pond and Chirag Mirani of Barclays wrote in a note to clients that: “We think real yields in the 5-year sector are susceptible to a move higher on the back of improving economy.”

put an multimeter on the battery prion to pushing the start button....wright down voltage of battery, turn bike over via the start button, did the battery drop below 9 volts? if so, go buy a battery from a reputabe dealer that will charge it for a mimimum of 10 hrs @.2a cycle, then retry....if u still have problems order a starter relay kit, test & clean the starter, install new parts & go riding..

First check the manual that came with your motorcycle. I dont understand that you have to do anything to the exhaust. Remove the battery cover and you will see the battery. Take off the support bracket. Undo the positive and slide out the battery. It should slide out just enough to undo the bolt holding the neg cable onto the battery. then just slide out the battery. look at the neg cable where it is mounted to the frame. You should be able to see it peeking from the left side through the frame to the left side. I am only just replacing the battery on my 2004 1200 xl so if it only has 900 miles on yours you may want to trouble shoot before you do the deed. there is just enough room to charge the battery without disconnecting the cables using small alligator clamps on your battery charger. just slide the battery out as far as it will go and hook it up. I hooked up an accessory electrical plug for my bike and i was able to charge my battery with a tender. I just replaced the alligator clamps with a cigarette lighter type plug and stuck it into the accessory plug and it charged it with no messing with the battery. Just think it through and you can make it work. disconnecting from the frame is alot of work to feet the cable back through after you pull the battery out. good luck

This paper considers the leadership approaches used in agile project management teams in particular and agile organizations in general. It considers the importance for managers to choose the right leadership style for each specific contingency. A significant consideration is the amount of change and the expectation of innovation. Managers may improve their leadership ability by learning to adjust their leadership styles. Agile approaches are expanding not only because of their ability to respond to change and innovation, but because of the ability to respond quickly to the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous nature of the business environment that has become the “new normal”. Hybrid project management solutions are emerging and need a contain combination of agile and traditional project leadership approaches.

Rather than simply selling steel sheets, we propose high-value-added products with numerous functions to our customers. Combining our material development, processing and joining as well as production technologies expands our offerings of products offering new potential.
- Promote trinity activities of research, development, and intellectual property strategy by overseeing the entire group
- Capture growth market, draw customer needs and create market together with research department
- Operational management of F-Tech. Plaza
- Overall management of intellectual property, and planning, proposal & promotion of intellectual property strategy
- Research on ordinary and special steel products, and relevant manufacturing processes
- Research on stainless steel products, high-alloy steel products, and relevant manufacturing processes
- Metal-coated products and relevant manufacturing processes
- Research on organic coating products, new functional materials, and relevant manufacturing technologies
- Research on formed products and elemental forming technologies
Adjoining the Kure Works, which has blast furnaces, is a facility that promotes the development of steel products through activities ranging from materials development of through to production processes for ordinary and special steels. In addition to hot-rolled steel sheet, this facility is involved in the development of a wide range of flat-rolled products for automotive parts, such as high-tensile-strength steel, high-carbon steel and low-alloy steel.
Within the Shunan Works, our base for stainless steel production, we have a facility for research and production process development on stainless steel that offers corrosion resistance, heat resistance, processability, strength, ductility and other characteristics, enabling us to develop a host of proprietary steels and remain an industry leader in stainless steel development technology.
Inside the Sakai Works, which is our production base for surface-treated steel sheet, a facility is located to develop a host of high-quality surface-treated products. Here, we promotes the development of products that employ hot-dipped, electroplating and electrolytic treatment, chemical conversion treatment and functional treatment technologies, as well as production processes. ZAM® highly corrosion-resistant hot-dip Zn-Al-Mg-coated steel sheets were born as well.
Our coated steel sheet production base, the Ichikawa Works, is home to a research department that specializes in the area of coatings. This department promotes the development of coated products with functions such as corrosion resistance, refined design, heat resistance, processability and environmental performance, as well as their production processes. Here, we pursue research and development involving precoated steel sheets for exterior applications and interior equipment, as well as new types of highly functional precoated steel products.
The Sakai Works has another facility to promote research including experimental techniques and computer simulations involving welding, swaging and other joining technologies, as well as processing technologies such as pressing, forming and rolling. This enables us to offer processing and joining technology solutions to customers so that they can make the most of the materials we provide to them.
Our R&D Initiatives combining the strengths of our five laboratories to meet diverse needs and generate new ideas
We pursue R&D on two fronts. One involves development to meet particular customer requirements; the other is to uncover new possibilities that address market needs.
Around 70% of our research efforts go toward addressing customer requirements. For these activities, our highly specialized research departments work together on developing materials in response to customer orders, as well as developing processing and joining technologies and proposing solutions so as to encourage the use of Nisshin materials.
The second type of research aims to cultivate new materials and technologies that will be used in the future. To conduct this type of research, we deploy cross-functional teams spanning individual research departments and focus on future themes such as new energy, resource conservation and eco-car technologies.
Production Technology Development: The Key to Commercialization of Our Products
Quality, delivery lead times, stable supply. Regardless of how superior our steel sheet may be, we cannot meet customers' expectations unless we are able to produce it on a commercial basis.
Each of NISSHIN STEEL's technology development laboratories adjoins the Company's relevant works, enabling a smooth progression of testing from lab to actual production machinery. Therefore, it is possible to respond quickly to customer needs.
Teams that specialize in research on iron making and steelmaking processes is developing a method of using low-grade raw materials, to provide products and low cost high quality.

Tour Tales | Marina “Skye” Williams details Jidenna’s craziest tour moments, viral lap dances, his unknown funny personality and more
In this installment of “Tour Tales,” Marina “Skye” Williams explains how she made Jidenna’s vision of the American and African ghettos translate on the stage, viral lap dances from the tour, and more.
Musicians are barely getting a slice of music industry revenue, largely eating off of live performances instead. For ’Tour Tales,’ we dig into the rider requests, delayed shows, diligent preparation, and future of touring by talking with the multitude of people that move behind the scenes. Record executives, photographers, tour managers, artists, and more all break down what goes into touring and why it’s still so vital to the livelihood of your favorite artists. What happens on tour stays on ‘Tour Tales.’
Marina “Skye” Williams helped Jidenna with the intricate stage design of his recent “85 to Africa Tour.” That was the first tour the 30-year-old set designer/art director from Los Angeles, California worked on.
“He did the ‘Classic Man’ moniker so well that people didn’t think he had a personality. He’s actually one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. His management team wanted to make sure this album showcased who he is,” Skye told REVOLT. “They wanted to showcase his fun side and his dancing side. He goes to bashments (Dancehall parties) all the time, so that was really an organic thing to include in the rollout of the album and tour.”
In this installment of “Tour Tales,” Skye explains how she made Jidenna’s vision of the American and African ghettos translate on the stage, viral lap dances from the tour, and more.
As tour designer, what were your responsibilities on Jidenna’s “85 To Africa Tour”?
From a pre-production standpoint, my responsibility was to make sure the vision that I understood and basically lived for the world we created for the album was represented on the actual stage. That’s part one. Also, communicating with Jidenna to see if he wanted any new inclusions to the stage that we didn’t get to capture during the rollout of the album. I had to make sure that was represented onstage as well. From a production standpoint, when you’re on the road, every night, the stages are going to be different sizes. Initially, when we’re creating the buildout, we want for the stage design we’re using [to be] one set of dimensions, but that changes every night.
So, in essence, in order to have a stage that is functional each night, it’s best to have props that are either retractable if they’re big. So, if the stage is too small, we can take props off. If the stage is bigger, then we can add props to the vision. My responsibility was to make sure the baseline vision of the stage was clear and represented on every single stage despite the size of the stage. There’s also a different set of stagehands that comes with the venue. So, I’m responsible for making sure these people aren’t breaking any of our stuff, handling it with care, and not being lazy with anything.
What did Jidenna convey to you as his vision for the tour?
Initially, when we started conversing about what that would look like, he was very clear that he wanted the stage to be a well-proportioned representation of both the American ghetto and African ghetto. He wanted to make sure people understood and could clearly see the connection between the two, and similarities between the two in the props that we used on stage. If you take a step further, he wanted it to be bright, welcoming and warm. So, we had to make sure the colors we used were represented in both places and also represented him.
The tour started in October. How long before that did it take for the stage to come together?
Paying 100% attention to the stage probably took two months. A lot of that was constantly changing because the vision of things was changing. It was a two-month process of full focus. Even with being fully focused on that, we had two music videos we were planning for.
Which venue on the tour presented the biggest difficulty?
Our very first show in Sacramento. It was challenging because we had so many issues, logistically, that happened on the backend. We had to scrounge up alternate props for that show. Our truck got into an accident and the top of it was skimmed. The only material in the truck that were harmed were the props because we were very particular about putting the props in the front of the truck, so they wouldn’t be squished with everything in the back. For that show, the vision had to be compromised so much because we literally had none of our stuff. So, everything we wanted for the first show was not there. He had other things he was worried about, so we were trying to keep as much of the stress away from him as possible. But, there came a time when we realized we need to tell him the stage is not going to be what we thought.
At that point, we had already come up with a contingency plan and sourced other things to add to the stage to take our original vision’s place. We still had the same colors and props, but [things] weren’t the way we wanted it to be. At that point, he was like, “I know y’all had been stressing over this for many hours. Just let me know what the plan is and how I need to adjust to it.” Every once in a while, there are pieces of his vision that if he doesn’t want to compromise on, he definitely lets us know, and we make it happen.
What was on his rider?
He’s a no-must, no-fuss kind of person. He’s not really high strung. He doesn’t have all these crazy demands. But, he is very particular about what he puts in his body and his health because he is on the go all the time. His rider is usually things that are healthy. So, he has to have his fruit, tea, and we are a group of tequila drinks (laughs).
What are some fun activities you all have gotten into as a group on tour?
In New Orleans, we had a day off. We literally ate the whole day. We ate every single thing in sight and we wandered through the streets. It was amazing. We roamed through the French Quarter. We walked past cemeteries. He’s a big fan of eating as it relates to the culture he’s in.
Those bashments thrown in support of the tour were the things of legends. What was the thought process behind them?
This album for Jidenna was very important and special. He did the “Classic Man” moniker so well that people didn’t think he had a personality. He’s actually one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. His management team wanted to make sure this album showcased who he is. They wanted to showcase his fun side and his dancing side. He goes to bashments all the time, so that was really an organic thing to include in the rollout of the album and tour. It happened organically and we just kept on rolling with it.
On the tour, what songs got the biggest reactions?
“Sou Sou.” There was an entire lap dance challenge that happened through that. That was something that came about in a random conversation the team had about how we wanted to work on the rollout of the show. It was an experiment. We wanted people to have fun, so we brought some girls onstage and wanted to see what would happen for one show. It took the fuck off (laughs). It became this thing that had to happen. It couldn’t have worked out better for us. So, we kept on going.
What are the craziest things you’ve seen result from that challenge?
The Atlanta one went viral. That was the one that got picked up on every social media platform and media outlet. The girl did a whole split and fell into it. She was working so hard, our chair almost broke. I’m under the stage watching the chair lean and I’m praying to God, “Please, let it hold on for just two seconds.” That one got crazy in a good way. Had that chair broken, they probably wouldn’t have known.
Janelle Monae came out onstage at the L.A. show, but also spoke with Jidenna backstage. What was the energy like?
For him, his favorite shows would probably be San Francisco, L.A., and Atlanta. San Francisco would be one because he has a very special connection to that place. It’s where he went to school and he has a lot of friends there. The L.A. one had a lot of his Wondaland family. We stayed backstage for literally two hours after that show. There had to be probably 100-120 people backstage. That show was so big. That was our last show. I live in Atlanta and I was in Atlanta running errands before the show. He called me at 4 o’clock like, “Hey, I just booked you a ticket to come to L.A.” I was like, “Nigga, what?” He was like, “Yeah. Your flight’s at six. You have to be here.” So, I threw clothes into a backpack, called an Uber, rushed to the airport, and got to L.A. at probably 8:30. The show started at 8. I got to the show by 9:45.

Windows is a familiar operating system to all computer users. Since the time it was born, Windows has brought many advantages to our daily life. However, this application also possesses many drawbacks. One limitation is the “Windows could not automatically detect this network’s proxy settings” error.
If you don’t know much about this issue, let’s head into this article. Here, we will open up to you more about this problem and solve it in detail. Let’s scroll down to read!
Windows Could Not Automatically Detect This Network’s Proxy Settings Error
Many users have faced the error Windows could not automatically detect this network’s proxy settings Windows 10. This is because the files within the system are getting corrupted. In this part, we will address similar proxy-related problems that you might have while using Windows operating system:
- Windows 10 can’t detect proxy settings. If you are confronting this issue, apply one of our solutions in the next part of the article.
- Windows could not detect this network’s proxy setting of the server. This issue often links to the network configuration, and users will get a message pop up on the screen.
- Windows will not save proxy settings. This common error appears to prevent users from saving their proxy settings. And to fix it, you can use one of the methods mentioned in this article.
- Windows proxy settings are unstable. In other words, users can’t figure out the proxy because it keeps fluctuating.
When you get these issues, your computer will run very slowly. Furthermore, it will be difficult for you to access websites such as Vimeo, Netflix, and Youtube.
How To Fix Windows Could Not Automatically Detect This Network’s Proxy Settings Error- Detailed Solutions
In this part, we will walk you through possible methods to fix the error Windows could not automatically detect this network’s proxy settings. Let’s have a closer look at them, one by one!
Rebooting Your Computer And Router
When your Windows could not automatically detect this network’s proxy settings, from our experience, the error is caused by misconfigured settings. And we suggest you restart your device first.
Although the process takes you to nowhere, it helps clear up all the issues that might be. So the chance of success is minor, but this process is worth a try.
Reviewing Proxy Settings In Windows
Another method to check Windows could not detect proxy settings error is reviewing proxy settings in Windows. All you have to do is spending a bit of time on the following steps:
- Enter the Settings option.
- Choose the Network & Internet section before moving to the proxy tab. Be noted that this tab is located on the left sidebar.
On the newly opened screen, you will see the related proxy servers. Turn on the slider of Automatically detect settings. If you don’t use this function, then use a proxy server option to the off regime.
If you connect with a proxy in a business environment, it’s better to check with the administrator for the details. After that, make a connection to the internet again.
As a result, the error might still show up. You can try to turn off the Automatically detect settings, then switch it on again to see if the error gets fixed.
Running The Network Adapter Troubleshooter
If you run Internet Connections troubleshooting normally, it will lead to the error Windows could not automatically detect this network’s proxy. There is another way of launching a troubleshooter with more support from the system.
- Firstly, open the Settings options and head to Update & Security.
- Next, open Troubleshoot before choosing Additional troubleshooters.
- Then, select Network Adapter. It will take you a while for the program to scan all over your device and pinpoint out the result for you. It also might suggest to you the solution at the end.
Auto-Obtaining IP Address And DNS Info
After trying our two solutions above, nothing seems to work. We suggest users solve the error Windows could not automatically detect this network’s proxy settings google chrome by adjusting the IP address and DNS information.
All you have to do is to follow the route Settings > Network & Internet > Status. After that, choose Change adapter options before clicking twice on the network connection you are using.
Select Properties and double-click on the Internet Protocol Version 4.
Check if you have checked both options: “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain a DNS server address automatically.”
Updating And Rolling Back Network Adapter
Sometimes, using an outdated network driver can cause a connecting problem. Or if you just updated your network driver and something corrupted within the system. No matter which one you are facing, replacing the driver could help you solve the proxy issue.
- Click on the right side of the mouse on the Start button, select Device Manager. Here, you should enlarge the Network adapters and click twice on the network connection you are using.
- Next, choose the Roll back driver on the Driver tab. Here your task is to uninstall the latest update of the driver and switch it to the previous version.
- On the other hand, choose Update Driver with available options. We advise users to upgrade the network driver by using the original version from the manufacturer.
Resetting Network Configuration Through The Command Prompt
An alternative method that can help you solve the network’s proxy settings is to utilize the command prompt to reset the network configuration.
First, click on the right side of the mouse on the Start button. Then enter Command Prompt. Now you will have to run the following code line, one by one.
- netsh winsock reset
- netsh int ip reset
- ipconfig /release
- ipconfig /renew
- ipconfig /flushdns
These commands will automatically reset and renew a few networks functions like deleting the old connection data and updating the new IP address.
Reviewing Firewall, VPN, And Antivirus Software
A firewall, security suite, and VPN might be the reason that affects your disconnection. Also, the update or the new install of these programs could change your proxy settings without your knowing.
Therefore, we suggest you disable firewall, VPN, and antivirus programs one by one to see whether the error will disappear. If the proxy gets fixed, it means these programs cause the error. And you will have to set them up so they cannot interfere with your network activities.
Scanning For Malware
Some users have admitted that Malware was the reason for their proxy settings issue. As a result, they see the error message pop up on the screen every time they restart the computer.
The solution for this is to scan for malware and follow the recommended action. One of the anti-malware applications you can trust is Malwarebytes. With this program, you can easily detect the hiding malware within your system and make it go off your device.
Utilizing The Restore Point
Utilizing the restore point is the process that helps you to get back to the point where your device was working finely. When you see the error show ups on your screen, follow the steps below:
- Follow the route Settings > System > About before clicking on the System protection on the right sidebar.
- If you have used this program before, you will see the restore point on the System Protection window. And you can choose the point that you want your device to get back to.
- Use the button Scan for affected programs to know what effects your software will get. Be noted that the restoring process will also clear up all the programs that you have recently installed. So make sure you have saved all your needed information.
Resetting Your Network Settings
Our last suggestion for you today is to reset the network settings. This process will help you get away from persistent issues that create the disconnection between your Windows and network’s proxy settings.
To implement this process, firstly, you will have to follow the route: Settings > Network & Internet. Next, you will see the Status tab, search for Network reset. Finally, click on this button. The drawback of this process is it will remove all the information of your network. Therefore you will have to save it again after reconnecting.
After choosing the button, your device will take a while to reset the whole system. Finally, don’t forget to check whether the problem has gone away.
The Bottom Line!
In conclusion, the error Windows could not automatically detect this network’s proxy settings can happen at any time, to anyone. To solve this issue, you need a basic knowledge of Information Technology and implement one of our solutions above. We hope this article was helpful to you. If you still have related questions, don’t hesitate to leave us a message.

Among the many fantastic elements from 1982’s classic film, “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” is composer James Horner’s score. And while the soundtrack has been available on record and CD for years, fans were only getting a small sample of the overall epic score. Until now.
Now fans can purchase the full score to the greatest of the original “Star Trek” films.
Star Trek II was released on LP by Atlantic Records in a 45-minute program issued on CD by GNP/Crescendo (long out of print). Although the album program featured the score’s highlights, fans have long clamored for a complete-score presentation—adding such important cues as the mind-control sequences involving Chekov and Capt. Terrell being possessed by alien eels, the revelation of the Genesis Cave, the final battle between the Enterprise and Reliant, and Spock’s death and funeral (“Amazing Grace”). FSM delivers in cooperation with Rhino Entertainment (who administer the Atlantic Records catalog) and Paramount Pictures (owners of the Star Trek film franchise)—remastering the complete score from Dan Wallin’s 1982 three-track film mixes, stored in the Paramount vaults in sterling sound quality.
The 28-page CD booklet features commentary and track-by-track breakdowns including new and historical interview quotes by Horner, Meyer and others involved in the production—as well as our customary art direction by Joe Sikoryak featuring stills, rare artwork and behind-the-scenes photos.
To borrow a quote from a completely different movie—American Beauty—here at FSM we feel about this CD like Kevin Spacey when asked about the hotrod in his driveway: “It is the car I’ve always wanted and now it is mine.”

If you ever want to feel bad about your paltry salary, looking into what you favorite A-listers make per film is a good way to do it. No doubt Kristen Stewart works hard on her Twilight movies — it can’t be easy saying some of those lines with a straight face — but can her $25 million payday for Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2 really be worth it?
Actually, yes. Forbes has compiled a list of the actors whose movies offer the highest returns for their hefty paychecks, and Stewart comes in at an impressive #2 on the list. The only person who makes a better investment is Natalie Portman, whose Black Swan ultimately grossed 25 times its $13 million budget. Read the full list after the jump.

As Django Unchained prepares for its year-end release, news has broken about one more addition to the already star-studded cast. Rex Linn, who plays Tennessee Harry in the film, recently revealed that Quentin Tarantino himself would appear in a small role — as he has in several of his other directorial efforts, including Inglourious Basterds, Death Proof, Pulp Fiction, and Reservoir Dogs.
“Quentin told me that he liked the scene so much he wanted to be in it, too, and that he would also be taking some of my lines,” Linn told Look At OKC. “So, you’ll know the scenes when you see them. We’ll be on the screen with Don Johnson and Jonah Hill. The scenes may not be long, but you will remember them.” [via The Playlist]

If you watched the movie Warrior and thought, “This movie needs more Kevin James,” then today is your lucky day. Sony has just released the first trailer for Here Comes The Boom, a comedy directed by Frank Coraci (The Waterboy) about a high school teacher (James) who becomes a mixed martial arts fighter with the hopes to make enough money to save his school. Co-starring Salma Hayek, Henry Winkler and the official endorsement of the number one MMA organization, the UFC, the film now opens October 12. Check out the trailer below. Read More »
Thanks to recent films like Jack and Jill and That’s My Boy!, Adam Sandler has taken prominence as the biggest critical comedic punching bag. So when some people see that he’s voicing Dracula in Hotel Transylvania, I’m sure there will be some automatic dismissals of the film.
But while Hotel Transylvania reunites Sandler and his That’s My Boy! co-star Andy Samberg, the film is also from Genndy Taratkovsky, the animation director behind such fare as Samurai Jack, The Powerpuff Girls, and Star Wars: Clone Wars. His sensibilities are often great, and his touch is all over this new trailer. And while Hotel Transylvania is pretty silly, it is also a film expressly for kids. (As opposed to Sandler’s other recent adult-skewing material.) So I’m ready to give it a shot. Read More »

Though Genndy Tartakovsky has been a force in TV animation since the mid-’90s, it’s only now that he’s finally making the jump to features with Hotel Transylvania. It’s clear that the new film has more of a traditional look than most of his shows have had, but there are some nice visual flourishes that should please fans of his previous work.
Adam Sandler voices Dracula, the proprietor of a luxury resort for monsters like Frankenstein (Kevin James), The Invisible Man (David Spade), the Mummy (Cee-Lo Green), and more. The trouble starts when a young human man (Adam Samberg) accidentally stumbles across the establishment, then meets and falls for Dracula’s daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez). While the new teaser hits many of the same beats that we saw in the first teaser last month, there’s enough new footage to be work a quick look.

This is kind of an encore trailer presentation; not long ago we showed you an international version of the first trailer for Genndy Tartakovsky‘s Hotel Transylvania, but it was quickly pulled. Now we’ve got the same trailer, but with the original English-language soundtrack. So you can hear how Adam Sandler sounds as the film’s family-friendly Dracula, for starters, and the quality is a lot better this time out, so the better monster designs and cute little visual gags come across much better.

Hotel Transylvania features the voice of Adam Sandler as Dracula, which isn’t exactly the most attractive casting idea for the classic monster. But the film is directed by Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars) and that is very attractive — Tartakovsky has demonstrated more than once that he has the ability to mix effective characterization with cute and weird visuals.
In fact, the cute and weird visuals are very much on display in this Russian teaser trailer for the film. I love a couple of the quick looks we get at some of the denizens of the film’s strange world. The fact that Sandler (who may turn out to be a great voice actor for Dracula) is dubbed over by a Russian voice actor doesn’t hurt at this juncture. Read More »

Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal‘s untitled Osama bin Laden thriller has been sparking political controversy ever since it was announced, with one of the points of contention being its release date. A few months ago, Sony set a date of October 12, 2012 for the picture’s release, irritating some who believed that it would help President Barack Obama during next year’s presidential elections by reminding voters of one of his administration’s most notable achievements.
Partisan bickering over the movie isn’t likely to die down anytime soon, but Sony has announced a schedule shift that should at least make the timing less of an issue. According to new reports, the studio has decided to push back the film, though it’s not known at this point when exactly it’ll get released, or what the motivation was behind the change. More details after the jump.

Hastings-on-Hudson Mayor Peter Swiderski stands near the former Anaconda factory in the village.
- Filed Under
It took about 50 years for the Anaconda Wire & Cable Co. to grow, prosper and then decline along the waterfront in Hastings-on-Hudson.
But the legacy of that industry remains in contaminants hidden in the soil and nearby Hudson River sediments. Now, generations after PCBs were used to manufacture fireproof cables there, the property's owner and the state finally have agreed financially how to clean up the land.
The agreement marks a major step forward locally in the state's effort to remediate hazardous waste sites and return them to functioning and developable properties. ...

Taraba State Governor, Mr. Darius Ishaku, on Tuesday, urged the people of the state to embrace agriculture to boost the economy and become self-reliant.
Ishaku stated this at the funeral service of Late Daniel Tertsea Orhena in Chanchanji ward, Takum local government area of the state.
The governor who spoke through the permanent Secretary in the ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources Mr. Isaac Mela noted that the country’s over dependence on oil over the years was the reason for the present economic hardship facing the nation given the fall in oil price and urged the people to return to agriculture to change the situation.
He appealed to the people to live in harmony with each other for the peace and development of the state.
Permanent Secretary Manpower Development and Training Mr. Ayuba Nyah who also represented the Head of Service of the State described late Daniel Elias Orhena as dedicated officer with commitment to work, saying he will be greatly missed.
Earlier, Caretaker Chairman of Takum local government, Mr. Shibam Tikari extol the virtues of Late Orhena Daniel for the positive life he lived and his contributions for the development of the community.
He warned miscreants terrorising the community to desist or risk crackdown as his administration will not allow miscreants to close down Peva market which is the revenue life wire of the local government and the state in general.
Also speaking, Zaki David Gbaa (Ter Bali II) urged elders and the traditional class in the community to assist in fishing out criminals who are making the community unhabitable for the people because of their criminal activities.
In his funeral oration, Elder Dennis Orkuma Nev retired Permanent Secretary Taraba Government House Administration appealed to the Head of Service and the state government to employ at least two members of late Daniel Orhena family to help alleviate the challenges created by his death.
Mr. Elias Daniel Orhena was until his death Administrative Officer and Secretary, Department of Manpower Development and Training in the office of the Head of Service of Taraba state.

4. Why are you involved with independent community radio at 88.1 FM?
I got introduced to KVSC back in the early 90s and ever since then I have been a committed listener. I have been involved with music in one form or another for my entire life. I decided to become a DJ partly because I love the delicious and eclectic music of the station, partly because I have appreciated and wanted to actively participate alongside them with their commitment and involvement in the local community, and partly because my late stepfather was a DJ for over 30 years and I wanted to honor him.
5. What is in your personal CD player, iPod, or mp3 right now (BE HONEST)?

8. When you are not at work or KVSC, where can you most likely be found?
Visiting my friends and family, especially my Grandma.
9. If it were the end of the world and you could only take five things with you, what would they be (BE HONEST)?
Photos of my loved ones, my personal library, a journal, a pencil, and satellite radio.
10.What do you think is the future of radio?
I believe that more people will begin to appreciate independent and community radio and the diverse and interesting programming that it provides. I think that more people will turn away from the main stream radio with all the satellite radio available.

text: The Muppets series director my be taking over another franchise Disney would like to keep making money on. The Wrap claims James Bobin, who's currently working on The Muppets... Again!, is in early talks to direct the studio's Alice in Wonderland sequel that will almost certainly see a lot more hat-making going on. Bobin has not yet met with producers, but that's reportedly only because a meeting with Johnny Depp has to happen first, as he is the keeper of the cartoonishly-gnarled gate guarding Tim Burton properties. Despite that, Depp apparently also isn't officially signed on. But considering the original made over a billion dollars, it's hard to imagine Disney won't be willing to fork over at least the usual $20 million needed to get some makeup and a hat on him.

N.H. Senate leader urges short-term tax fix
CONCORD (AP) — Lawmakers need to agree soon on a short-term fix to a recent court ruling that found New Hampshire's tax on hospitals unconstitutional to avoid a major impact on the state budget, Senate President Chuck Morse said Tuesday.
The state plans to appeal the ruling, but Morse, a Salem Republican, told the Senate Ways and Means Committee that a short-term fix is needed before the Legislature adjourns next month followed by a long-term effort to phase out the tax.
He said that could begin by reducing the 5.5 percent tax on net patient revenues. He said how much the tax is reduced and how quickly depends on how phasing out the tax would affect payments to medical providers and aid for hospitals providing uncompensated care.
The governor, legislative leaders and representatives from the hospitals have been meeting to try to find a way to address the issues that prompted the hospitals to sue the state. The Senate committee will discuss the issue again next week.
The tax produces about $185 million annually for Medicaid and other state spending. The state kept $72 million this year for general state spending, used $82 million for payments to health care providers, and returned $31 million to the hospitals in aid to help offset the cost of uncompensated care.
"In the long-term, I believe we need to phase out the (tax) and instead use general funds to support the programs that it funds today," Morse said.
He said cutting hundreds of millions of dollars in state spending midway through a two-year budget would not be easy and he has not heard anyone suggest adopting a new tax.
"In my mind, we need a third alternative," he said.
State Rep. David Hess, R-Hooksett, suggested lowering the tax rate and broadening what providers pay the tax.
This month's Superior Court ruling covered the 2011 tax year, but the parties agreed the ruling would only apply to the 2014 and future tax years. If upheld, the hospitals could ask the state to refund perhaps $100 million or more in tax payments for 2014. It also means lawmakers would have to plug a similar hole in next year's spending from general tax sources.
In 1991, hospitals began paying the tax so the state could gain matching Medicaid funds to pay for health care for the poor. For many years, they got all their taxes refunded dollar-for-dollar from the state.
In 2011, the federal government said states could no longer refund all the money and, instead, had to apply a formula that reimbursed the funds according to hospitals' Medicaid costs. Three years ago, the Republican-controlled Legislature cut Medicaid funding to the hospitals more than $130 million, but retained the tax. Ten of the state's largest hospitals later sued the state in federal court over changes in Medicaid policies and reimbursements.
Northeast Rehabilitation Hospital also sued, arguing it was unfair for it to pay the tax while other medical providers doing the same procedures — but not classified as hospitals — were not taxed. A Superior Court judge ruled in its favor in February. The state has appealed the decision. Morse said he believes lawmakers should exempt rehabilitation hospitals.

TINY “solar panels” implanted into the eye could one day restore vision to the blind without the need for unsightly wires.
Around 15 million people worldwide have some form of blindness. In people with these conditions the retina’s photoreceptors – which transform light hitting the eye into electrical impulses – are often damaged, preventing visual information from being sent to the brain.
Several companies, including Second Sight in Sylmar, California, have developed prosthetic retinas, some of which are currently in clinical trials. Such technologies generally use a camera to detect visual information that is relayed to an implant inside the eye, which effectively replaces the damaged photoreceptors. However, these prostheses tend to require wires to connect the implant to an external power source and to carry information from the camera to the implant, says James Loudin of Stanford University in California.
So along with Daniel Palanker and colleagues, Loudin set out to build a wireless implant out of photovoltaic pixels – similar to those found in solar panels.
The idea is that a video camera mounted on a pair of glasses picks up visual information and relays it to the photovoltaic implant using a beam of low-intensity infrared light. The implant then converts the light into electrical activity to stimulate neurons, sending the visual information to the brain without the need for any wires into the implant.
Electrodes on similar implants cannot be stimulated individually, and are instead activated in bunches, limiting their resolution capability. Loudin’s pixels are only one-third of the width of a human hair, and they can respond to a single photon of light. This enables each pixel to be activated individually, similar to the way that biological photoreceptors work. Loudin hopes this will create better resolution than in previous prostheses.
Each of the sensor’s pixels is one-third of the width of a human hair and can respond to a single photon
To test the implant, the team removed retinas from dead rats whose photoreceptors had been destroyed. They implanted the photovoltaic chips into the retinas and flashed infrared light onto them. The pixels converted the light into electrical energy which activated neurons within the retina. In a live animal, these neurons would then relay that information to the brain (Nature Photonics, DOI: 10.1038/nphoton.2012.10).
Loudin and his team are currently testing the prosthesis in live rats and ultimately aim to move on to clinical trials in humans. First they want to see if they can make the pixels smaller, increasing potential resolution still further.
