ISDP Forum: North Korean Women as Economic Agents (and Mothers) in the Sino-North Korean Borderlands
March 2, 2020 - 16:00-17:30
Over the past decade, there has been a dramatic shift in the role of North Korean women, from traditional mothers to breadwinners. Economic collapse, famine, and the so-called “Arduous March” have had unintended consequences for North Korean women, forcing them to become more active economic agents. Many North Korean women started working in the black market (jangmadang), and became extremely mobile, seeking economic opportunities in new cities, new regions, and even across national borders. The Chinese borderland in particular has become a significant destination for North Korean women. How should we understand the migratory dynamics at play? What opportunities and challenges do North Korean women face over the border in China? What are the consequences for the families they leave behind?

Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
That is, says Bp. Lowth, "Sow thy seed or corn on the face of the waters;" in plain terms, sow without any hope of a harvest: do good even to them on whom your benefactions seem thrown away. Dr. Jebb has well illustrated it by the following passages:
Heb. face of the waters.
Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
if the tree
He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
thou knowest not what
In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
Heb. be right.
Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
if a man
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
in thy youth
in the sight
Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

“Two patients underwent these treatments and they were cured,” said Cathy Cutler, director of the Medical Isotope Research and Production Program at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory. “Their cancer was gone.
“This is what we want to do — supply this material so that more patients can get this treatment,” she said.
The material is a molecule tagged with Actinium-225, a radioactive isotope. When designed to specifically bind with a protein on the surface of cancer cells, the radiolabeled molecule delivers a lethal, localized punch — alpha particles that kill the cancer with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.
Actinium-225 can only be produced in the large quantities needed to support clinical applications at facilities that have high-energy particle accelerators.
“This is why I came to Brookhaven,” Cutler said in a recent talk she gave to highlight her group’s work. “We can make these alpha emitters and this is really giving doctors a chance to treat these patients!”
Brookhaven Lab and the Department of Energy Isotope Program have a long history of developing radioisotopes for uses in medicine and other applications. These radioactive forms of chemical elements can be used alone or attached to a variety of molecules to track and target disease.
“If it wasn’t for the U.S. Department of Energy and its isotope development program, I’m not sure we’d have nuclear medicine,” Cutler said.

Larry Roberts, who played defensive end on two 49ers teams that won Super Bowls, died Monday morning after battling numerous health issues. He was 53.
The 49ers originally selected Roberts in the second round of the 1986 draft from Alabama. He played all eight of his NFL seasons with the 49ers.
Roberts started in the 49ers’ Super Bowl XXIII win over the Cincinnati Bengals in 1989 and saw significant action as a backup in Super Bowl XXIV against the Denver Broncos.
He started 34 of the 89 regular-season games in which he appeared in his career. Roberts also saw action in 12 postseason games with three starts. He tied Charles Haley for the team-lead with seven sacks in 1991. He finished his career with 28 sacks.
In February, an article in USA Today detailed his friendship with Ronnie Lott while Roberts faced struggles in recent years.
"We’ll talk about the times we had, and playing in the Super Bowls," Roberts said of his relationship with Lott. "But, really, I’m trying to make it through life, day by day."
According to the article, Roberts developed diabetes as he took custody of his two teenage children after a divorce. A few years ago, Roberts was hospitalized to have his right foot amputated after gangrene set in. He woke up in the recovery room to learn both legs had been amputated.
"Life has thrown me a lot of curveballs," Roberts told USA Today. "I am depressed as hell. My children pull me through."
Lott established financial assistance for Roberts to help him deal with the huge medical costs.
"We’re human beings," Lott told USA Today. "For a long time, I had no idea what he was dealing with. But you keep hearing more and more stories, and we’re going to hear even more stories like Larry’s."

It's Clinton, Romney
Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney prevailed as the favored presidential candidates among Woburn voters Tuesday – the same choices made by primary voters in the commonwealth at large.
Several local voters said Clinton’s experience and positive messages were the primary reasons they were attracted to the Democratic senator from New York, while Mitt Romney’s experience as the Republican governor of Massachusetts was the most popular reason given by those who voted for him.
The results in the Massachusetts Republican primary were in stark contrast to those in most of the Super Tuesday primaries, where Arizona Sen. John McCain made giant strides in his bid for the presidency.
Locally, voters also selected the local ward committee, state committeeman and state committeewoman for each of the four major parties, Democratic, Republican, Green Rainbow and Working Families.
“Clinton has more experience that [Barack] Obama,” said Linda Pouech, 62, echoing the sentiments of many Democratic voters. “When Caroline and Ted Kennedy endorsed Obama, it was a turn-off for me.”
“I voted for Clinton, because I like her views on the major issues,” agreed Donna Hutchinson, 53.
Weariness over President Bush’s tenure was another theme among supporters of the former first lady.
“The country needs a Democrat and I’m confident that Hillary can take over and run the country,” said Lisa Tyminski, 45. “She has the experience with her husband, Bill.”
Said Larry Bonneau, 62, “I like Clinton, because she’s a positive person and I think she has what it takes to get the job done.”
Romney’s business experience was cited by some of his supporters as a major part of his appeal.
“I plan to vote for Romney. I think running the state is like a microcosm of running the federal government,” said Lisa Lohnes, 49. “I don’t prefer Hillary Clinton and I don’t think Obama has enough experience.”
Another Republican voter, Charles Vallente, 65, said, “I voted for Romney, because he doesn’t owe anything to anybody. He’s a self-made millionaire and he doesn’t owe anyone a thing.”
But Obama’s vision and McCain’s character also drew support from Woburn voters.
“I like Obama’s messages of change,” Tricia Doleman, 72, said of the Democratic senator from Illinois. “That’s why I voted for him.”
Likewise Tom Cashell, 65, said “I like Obama, because he’s new and he’s fresh.”
McCain, a Republican senator from Arizona and former prisoner of war, won the support of people like Julie Callahan, 78.
“I voted for McCain, because I feel he’s the better man for the job,” she said.
Despite periods of heavy rain in the morning and overall dreary weather, turnout was heavy for the Super Tuesday Primary.
Massachusetts was just one of two dozen states that held primaries or caucuses on Super Tuesday, so called because it is the day when the greatest number of states select delegates to the national conventions at which party’s presidential candidates are nominated.
Because more delegates can be won on Super Tuesday than any other day, campaigning beforehand is heavy since candidates must generally do well on that day if they are to win their party’s nomination.
Nationally, Tuesday’s results determined 52 percent of all pledged Democratic Party delegates and 31 percent of Republican Party delegates.

Many students will reflect that in a noisy high school classroom, one student is worrying about the test next period, another student worries about the upcoming timed mile and the student next to them worries about hearing their dead name during roll call.
Queer students can have profoundly different experiences in middle and high school, including struggles with their identity. LGBTQIA+ students experience more marginalization and require additional support compared to their straight, cisgender peers. A new bill, Senate File 80, could perpetuate this marginalization.
Senate File 80 was introduced to the Iowa Legislature by Sen. Amy Sinclair on Jan. 20. The bill regarding pronoun use in Iowa school districts states if a school employee or a school curriculum asks a student to identify which preferred pronoun they would like to be called, the parents or guardians are notified.
“The school district shall provide written notification of such action to the parent or guardian of the student at least one week before such action occurs,” the bill states.
Considering the future of this bill and LGBTQIA+ youth, LGBTQIA+ students, who are now young adults, reflect on their grade school experiences. Morgan Duncan, a senior at Sioux City North High School, remembers his struggles with faculty respecting their pronouns.
“Every teacher knows, and they all ignore it or forget,” Duncan said. “I think I have one teacher who actively tries.”
Lillian Uhl, a senior at Iowa State in physics, also struggled with high school administration during her transition. Her teachers no longer used her dead name, but they did not fully acknowledge her identity.
“When I came out, there was never any specification for all of the teachers to use my preferred pronouns compared to getting them to use my preferred name,” Uhl said.
Maxx Flumerfelt, an Iowa State junior majoring in animal science, had to keep his dead name while his preferred name was labeled a “nickname.” Despite this, Flumerfelt had a positive experience in school.
“There could have been a lot less hassle,” Flumerfelt said. “I don’t think it should be made to be a crazy fiasco. A lot of times, school was where I was accepted the most by my friends and teachers.”
School is where children spend the majority of their days growing up, discovering their interests and contemplating their identity. Many students have had experiences in school similar to Flumerfelt’s, but many fail to consider the student’s home environment. When asked about the potential effects of Senate File 80, Duncan acknowledged that some students’ home life may become endangered.
“Before the school notifies parents, they need to make sure it’s a safe situation,” Duncan said. “I have friends where if their parents knew XYZ about them, they wouldn’t be able to live at home.”
A more mindful process, Duncan suggests, may have been helpful for students like Uhl, where her home was not always supportive of her coming out. Uhl graduated high school in 2018 before the specification of pronouns was more common, and they notified her family of her name change.
“My mom already knew, but they also had to notify my father,” Uhl said. “My dad also knew at this point, but he was not supportive at all. I was very anxious about that as I began the official transition at school.”
Students explained that whether the bill is passed, LGBTQIA+ students should not feel afraid or ashamed of their identity. Flumerfelt came out five years ago and reflected on what he would tell his younger self.
“Be more brave about it,” Flumerfelt said. “Be more willing to correct people when they mess things up. Don’t be so willing to accept when people misgender you or use the wrong pronouns.”

Award-winning actress Regina King will host Saturday Night Live for the first time on Feb. 13. The coveted gig has a host of A-list celebrities behind its name, from Chris Rock to Chance The Rapper, and now King joins the all-star list.
In an announcement via Twitter, The American late-night television show revealed that it is slated to return on January 30 after its last episode aired in late December of last year. Season 46 premiered in-studio last October and its upcoming shows this spring will have industry celeb hosts that fans are raving over.
King’s hosting debut will premiere after The Office actor John Kransinski on Jan. 30 and Schitt’s Creek star and co-creator Dan Levy the following week. Kransinski was set to host the show back in March, however filming and production halted abruptly due to the coronavirus. Levy, Kransinski and King will be accompanied by respective musical guests Phoebe Bridgers, Machine Gun Kelly and Nathaniel Rateliff.
King is no stranger to the limelight as her acting resume boasts Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy award wins for her stellar performances in If Beale Street Could Talk, American Crime, Watchmen and Seven Seconds. In her latest slew of accomplishments, the multi-hyphenate recently released her directorial debut One Night In Miami, available in theatres and on Amazon Prime Video. The feature film’s plot centers the friendship of Cassius Clay, Malcolm X, Jim Brown and Sam Cooke.
It has been speculated that Kransinski’s first episode of the spring line-up will include a skit on the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris with Maya Rudolph and Alex Moffat playing the respective roles. SNL will continue consecutive shows on Feb. 20 and Feb. 28 as upcoming guests have yet to be announced. The shows will air at 11:30 p.m. on NBC.


For many people searching for information on the events of 9/11, the very first things they will encounter are conspiracy theories. From just days after the attacks, alternative theories of what happened, and who had caused it, began to emerge.
When teaching about 9/11 it is important not only to be able to handle these issues, but also to be able to draw on them to show young people the importance of recognising where reporting biases can occur. Considering the credibility of sources, thinking critically about the motivation of reporters and understanding when challenge of official government stories can be appropriate are all useful conversations that you can create from study of this topic.
To find out more about the major conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 – and how to counter them – we recommend the guidance below from the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in New York.
Tower Hamlets have also produced a free lesson teaching about how conspiracy theories can be formed, which is also a helpful exercise for students.
Finally, we highly recommend the guidance on conspiracy theories in the classroom written by Jeremy Hayward and Gemma Gronland, IoE, UCL.

Plaid On Flannel is an alternative indie blues rock act from Toronto, Canada led by sole constant member Nolan Randall. Randall plays the role of Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist/Producer. Since 2012, POF have released 4 full-length albums, 2 EPs, and a live album. With various personnel over the years, POF have played shows around Toronto and Ontario at venues like the El Mocambo, Cherry Cola’s, and the Opera House. POF’s discography and live shows are filled with memorable hooks, superb musicianship, wondrous melodies, and evocative lyrics. Being mainly influenced by the rock and roll giants from the 1970s to the present day, POF’s sound incorporates an array of styles such as alternative, indie blues, stoner rock, funk, prog rock, metal, folk rock, soul, and glam rock. In a world of tumultuous chaos, Plaid On Flannel’s mission is to inspire, stimulate, and bring elation into people’s lives in the form of art, culture, and community. All the while creating real rock and roll through making records, and playing shows in the act of touring.
The Whole Story
Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Nolan Randall came up with the name Plaid On Flannel in November of 2010 while living in Peterborough, Canada. He had just earned a college diploma in Radio-Broadcasting, and was hosting a radio show earlier that year in Ottawa, Canada called “Dirty Flannel Jacket” which was in the grunge music format. The name Plaid On Flannel has a plethora of meanings behind it. But most importantly, it represents timelessness and meaningful/real music. With the fashion being a metaphor for the music, neutral fashion never goes out of style. And Randall was determined to create music that gets better with age. The way rock and roll has transcended from generation to generation. Randall had previously been a journeyman lead guitarist in some original rock bands. At the time, he was with Peterborough’s High Waters Band and gigging every weekend playing mostly classic rock covers, but also a number of original songs written by lead singer Mike Kidd.
By August of 2011, Randall bought a new MacBook with a built-in interface, and began recording on GarageBand with music he had written over the previous years. This was the beginning of Plaid On Flannel. After 10 months of recording and aiming to develop a unique style, Plaid On Flannel’s debut album “Fairbairn Meadows” was released in July of 2012. Randall had also released a studio album of all original material called “Stand Up” earlier that same year with High Waters Band. Both albums each have 12 songs and were both released in 2012. “Fairbairn Meadows” features a lot of acoustic music and is rather eclectic in styles. From “Drunk” (Hard Rock) to “Another Planet” (Latin Rock) to “When Will Everything Begin” (Reggae) to “Satan’s Highway” (Heavy Metal), the list of styles goes on. Most songs were written for acoustic guitar, but there is an abundance of lead electric guitar throughout the album which has always been Randall’s bread and butter.
Following the release of “Fairbairn Meadows”, Randall was invited to the Interfusion Music Summit in Cathedral City, California. Inspired by this opportunity, Randall wrote an explosion of songs that summer and had some of the best material he had written up to that point. He travelled to California in October of 2012 with his acoustic guitar and met a number of fellow musicians and music industry people. He performed his material 3 times during this trip and these were the first official Plaid On Flannel performances.
Upon returning to Peterborough, Randall started recording the sophomore Plaid On Flannel album while resuming his every weekend ritual of playing shows with High Waters Band. Becoming more skilled at songwriting, arranging, and producing on GarageBand, Randall was recording 3 new songs per month during this time. Using programed drums instead of loops, and a real bass guitar instead of MIDI software instrument bass. Plaid On Flannel was beginning to seem like it could be a real rock band someday. POF began to have a following on ReverbNation in the fall of 2012 and many people started paying attention to the songs Randall was releasing. The mixes were tighter and the dynamics were prominent. It was a highly creative time for Randall. POF’s 2nd album “Mission Of Mercy” was released in May of 2013. With 20 songs, the album developed POF’s signature sound of alternative indie blues rock. The blues rock that Randall was so accustomed to with High Waters Band, reflected in songs like “Feel The Same”, “Lightnin’ King”, and “Be Careful”. Songs like “Luck” and “Away From It All” explore the style of folk rock. But the most prominent vibe from the album is the hard alternative rock edge of songs like “The Rambler”, “Competition”, “Asylum”, “I Can’t Complain”, and “Emergency”. Randall’s singing voice provides an indie rock flavour that contrasts with the alternative music in a distinctive and unique way.
In the summer of 2013, Randall left High Waters Band and moved to Toronto, Canada to study music and put Plaid On Flannel on hold. That fall, he upgraded his recording software to Logic Pro X, and performed acoustically at coffee shops and open mics. After playing in some weak ensembles, Randall felt he needed to have a real band again. By February of 2014, he joined up with bassist Les Cassling and drummer Adi Taylor who had previously been the rhythm section in a Toronto acid-funk-jazz band called the Potato Boat Whores.
Randall decided to unleash the songs that he had recorded under the Plaid On Flannel moniker and become a lead singer with encouragement from the other band members. Plaid On Flannel was officially a band, and they played their first show together in April of 2014. Randall began recording again with his upgraded DAW and released a single in the spring of 2014 called “Something On Your Mind” with the B-Side “Ohio/Southern Man” which is a double cover of 2 Neil Young-written songs. Plaid On Flannel played monthly Toronto shows in 2014 and even paid a visit to Randall’s hometown of Peterborough that same year. Randall as always had new songs ready to be recorded, but knew the band wasn’t ready to record yet as they were still seeking a keyboardist.
In the fall of 2014, Randall began recording his 3rd solo album which was to be under the name Plaid On Randall to avoid confusion from fans as Plaid On Flannel now had new band members that wouldn’t be featured on that album. Now being settled down in Toronto, Randall gradually created a concept album over the next year. By March of 2015, Plaid On Flannel finally added a keyboardist who could also sing backup vocals. Jen Doyon joined POF after playing in alternative bands in western Canada. She fit the mold well and gave POF the flavour they were looking for. Shortly after, drummer Adi Taylor left the band and was replaced by Toronto rock drumming veteran Minas Hatzigiannatzoglou in May of 2015.
With the 4-piece set, Plaid On Flannel began working with producer Ruben Huizenga (David Usher & Edwin) in the fall of 2015 in his studio in downtown Toronto. By the end of the year, Randall released his 3rd solo album “Primitive Normative” under the name Plaid On Randall. The 15-song concept album was heavily influenced by concept album extraordinaires like Pink Floyd, The Who, and Arcade Fire. Every song is interconnected lyrically, and the album features heavy use of a digitech whammy pedal which Randall had included in Plaid On Flannel’s live sets. It made the guitar sound come to life. “Primitive Normative” isn’t as eclectic in musical styles as Randall’s previous 2 albums, but it tells a direct story throughout the album through an alternative and blues scope. From the uplifting indie rock anthem “Find A Way” to the epic tale of “Make Them Understand” to the riffed out progressive rock of “Rusty Domingo”, to the in-your-face heavy blues of “Primal Desire”, “Primitive Normative” remains a consistent album and was created with the intention of having the sum being bigger than it’s individual parts.
Plaid On Flannel played in new cities in March of 2016. The band performed in Ottawa and Cornwall with fellow rock bands Iconoclast and Chasing Amber who were both on an Ontario tour together. POF finished their EP “Rising Above” in the spring and released it in May of 2016. The 6-track EP has songs that were previously recorded by Randall and the progressive rock anthem “Rising Above”, which was heavily influenced by Toronto rock legends Rush. The other songs featured on the EP are “Go The Distance”, “Maybe”, “Siege Of Megiddo”, “Feeling No Regrets”, and “What’s Real”. The rhythm section elevated these tunes with active and powerful playing. Jen Doyon used a variety of effects on her keyboard for different songs on the EP such as organ, clavinet, piano, harpsichord, & synth. For the first time, Plaid On Flannel’s recorded music featured musicians outside of Nolan Randall, and the music was enhanced from it’s original form. As POF played live a lot over the course of 2016, some live material was recorded from their 2 performances at Roundhouse Craft Beer Festival in Toronto in August of 2016. Thanks to sound engineer Steve Thom, Randall put together a 16-song live album called “Live At The Roundhouse” which was released in October of 2016. It features 14 songs from the band’s repertoire, and covers of both the Doors’ “Roadhouse Blues” and Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” which got a huge reaction from spectators as heard on the album. “Live At The Roundhouse” is a free album for the public.
With a batch of new songs ready to go, Randall began recording his fourth solo album in the fall of 2016. At the same time, the band was expanding their list of songs and preparing for a new EP. In early 2017, POF got back together with Ruben Huizenga to record at his new studio in Roncesvalles, Toronto. A film crew showed up at this studio to record music videos for the band while they laid down bedtracks. Throughout the winter and spring of 2017, POF spent more time in the studio then on the previous EP to make sure the next one was even better. After Huizenga and Randall mixed the 7-song EP, mastering engineer Michael Kossov of Toronto fulfilled mastering duties. In July of 2017, 2 music videos were released for the songs “Switching Gears”, and the EP’s title track “Get On!”. The videos gained a lot of attention on social media, and they preceded the release of the EP. The EP “Get On!” was released in August of 2017 and features more layered vocal harmonies from Randall and Doyon, as well as new keyboarding sounds from Doyon such as accordion and strings. This was unfortunately Doyon’s last stint with Plaid On Flannel as she amicably left the band to fulfill her own music. She later started her own garage-surf rock band called MoonJunk. At this point, Randall decided to part ways with Les Cassling and Minas Hatzigiannatzoglou and restructure the Plaid On Flannel lineup with young talent and prospected proteges. This would evolve the band’s existence and put POF in a better position to tour.
In the fall of 2017, Randall recruited bassist/backing vocalist Brett Kinrade and drummer Mads Poulsen. Kinrade had played in a few bands, and was working in a biochemistry internship in Toronto. Poulsen is from Denmark and had previously played in a Danish band called Irrational Mirror. The new Plaid On Flannel 3-piece rehearsed over the winter. They played Cherry Cola’s in February of 2018. The show was packed and it was POF’s most exuberant live set to date. Shortly after, Poulsen announced he was moving back to Denmark, and POF was in search for a new drummer. After some failed drumming auditions, bassist Brett Kinrade announced he was moving back to Kingston to complete his degree in biochemistry. With Randall finding himself back to where he was 7 years earlier as a solo project, he released a new album of material under the name Plaid On Flannel. This was material he had been working on for the previous 2 years. “Independency” was released in July of 2018 and features 18 songs. From the glam-surf-rock of “Isolate” to the hard blues rock of “When The Rhythm Comes In” to the funk-reggae of “Into The Night”, “Independency” is filled with the dynamics of the rock and roll spectrum. “Up And Down The Highway” takes on an indie folk approach and “All Hail” is an alternative blues anthem written in tribute of the late Chris Cornell of Soundgarden. “Independency” was a big leap forward for Plaid On Flannel.

According to a research published today in eLife, growing rice with aquatic creatures may eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides while also increasing farmer yields.
The findings point to a technique to assist lessen the environmental impacts of rice cultivation while also providing possible economic advantages to rice producers.
Modern farms typically cultivate a single crop and use a lot of fertilizers and pesticides. This has aided in agricultural output, but at the expense of environmental deterioration. Some farmers are experimenting with producing a combination of crops and animals in order to decrease the use of agricultural pesticides by using positive plant-animal interactions.
Farmers experimenting with rearing aquatic creatures in rice fields is one example, according to co-first author Liang Guo, a Postdoctoral Fellow at Zhejiang University’s College of Life Sciences in Hangzhou, China. “Understanding how these creatures contribute to rice paddy ecosystems might aid in more sustainable rice production.”
Guo and colleagues compared the development of rice with carp, mitten crabs, or softshell turtles against rice cultivated alone over the course of three four-year trials. They discovered that as compared to rice farmed alone, the aquatic creatures reduced weeds, enhanced organic matter decomposition, and boosted rice yields.
“We also discovered that nitrogen levels in the soil in rice fields containing aquatic animals remained stable, lowering the demand for nitrogen-based fertilizers,” explains co-first author Lufeng Zhao, a PhD student at Zhejiang University’s College of Life Sciences.
The crew next looked at what the animals in the rice fields ate. They discovered that plant and other things scavenged made up 16-50 percent of their diet, rather than their feed. They also discovered that the rice plants consumed 13-35 percent of the nitrogen from residual feed that the animals didn’t eat.
Rice planted with aquatic creatures produced yields that were 8.7% to 12.1 percent greater than rice farmed alone. Farmers were also able to raise between 0.5 and 2.5 tonnes of crabs, carp, or turtles per acre in addition to their rice.
“These findings add to our understanding of the roles of animals in agricultural ecosystems and support the idea that growing crops alongside animals has a number of advantages,” says Xin Chen, professor of ecology at Zhejiang University’s College of Life Sciences and co-senior author of the study with Dr. Liangliang Hu and Professor Jianjun Tang. “Adding aquatic creatures to rice fields may enhance farmers’ profitability since they can sell both the animals and the rice, spend less on fertilizer and pesticides, and charge more for sustainably cultivated goods,” says the report.

You should probably mute this, but play “name that plane” and spot the non-T-38 plane in the video.
That’s the WB-57F Canberra, used by NASA for high altitude atmospheric research. It was originally used by the USAF to collect atmospheric samples during nuclear testing. Collecting samples of radioactive particles after a nuclear blast, physicists can tell a great deal about how effective a device was. We collected samples both of our own devices, and those of the Soviet Union, and indeed everyone else’s.
The WB-57 was derived from the RB-57, which was something of a poor man’s alternative to the U-2. A basic B-57 bomber was converted with vastly larger wings and upgraded powerplants to give it a much higher operational ceiling. Unfortunately, as the U-2 discovered in May of 1960, the SA-2 Guideline had an even higher ceiling.
The basic B-57 itself was built by Martin, being derived from the British English Electric Canberra bomber.
The first major variant operational with the USAF, the B-57B, served in Vietnam as a day/night interdiction/strike aircraft, and even flew some strikes against North Vietnam in the early years of the war. Increasing air defenses there meant it was soon withdrawn from use up north, but it soldiered on for a few more years providing air support in South Vietnam, eventually being replaced by newer tactical aircraft.
To find targets for those tactical aircraft meant aerial reconnaissance, and a lot of it, particularly against the NVA’s logistical trail, the Ho Chi Mihn Trail. A lot of RF-101 Voodoo and RF-4 Phantom sorties were flown, but results, particularly at night, were less than great. And so Project Patricia Lynn was started. A handful of RB-57Es were deployed to use infra-red cameras locate targets. It was very effective, with some estimates that 80% of the usable aerial reconnaissance came from Patricia Lynn.
Martin B-57E-MA 55-4237 Da Nang AB South Vietnam 3/4 front view at Da Nang AB, South Vietnam, in January 1964. Aircraft was originally B-57E (S/N 55-4264). This aircraft was lost on Oct. 25, 1968. (U.S. Air Force photo)
The adaptability and flexibility of the B-57 also lead to a couple of experiments with using sensors such as Low Light Level Television and infrared line scanners to allow the crew to see targets at night in real time, rather than having to wait for IR film to be developed.
That impressive real time capability lead to the ugly, but impressive B-57G. With LLTV, IR and a laser rangefinder/designator built in, the B-57G was the first truly effective precision night attack jet. It was the first jet to have a built in capability to self designate targets for laser guided bombs at night. The cutting edge technology meant they were maintenance nightmares, and had poor availability rates, but when they worked, they showed just how effective night attack sensors and precision guided weapons could be.
Switching back to the big wing WB-57 for a bit, let’s talk about networked warfare for a bit. More and more, we rely on datalink networks to provide a picture of the battlefield. But that raises to problems. Not all datalinks are compatible, and most are line of sight only. That lead to the development of BACN, the Battlefield Airborne Communications Node. BACN is both a relay and a translator, allowing various networks to work together. And since line of sight increases with altitude, it was first deployed aboard the WB-57, and operationally used in Afghanistan in 2012.
The WB-57s have returned to NASA, and a third has recently been added to the fleet. Not bad for a design the British first flew in 1949.

With the help of Epiroc, construction company Dragados could implement a tunneling ventilation system for the Bank station reconstruction within the confines of the bustling City of London.
Central London is one of the busiest metropolitan areas in the world, and the Bank & Monument station complex one of its most hectic hubs. The Bank and Monument stations are located 360 meters apart in the City of London district, surrounded by narrow, heavily trafficked streets and an abundance of weekday-occupied offices. During rush hour, more than half a million commuters pass through the stations, with a large number of them making use of the tunnel system connecting the two. Construction company Dragados was awarded the contract for building new tunnels as part of a large reconstruction project, enabling the station complex to handle 40 percent more passengers. All this combined to pose a considerable challenge for Dragados and Construction Manager John Comins.
What have been the major challenges?
“First of all, working inside the city. Getting materials in through congested traffic and removing water and electricity services in the streets meant that it took us a year to get down to where we could actually start work on the new tunnel. We also had to find a solution for ventilating the tunnel – we couldn’t do much down there without it.”
In what way did ventilation pose a problem?
“We needed an exhaust system to extract dust and heat away from our people, but there were no sufficiently large areas on the surface for the fan and ducting in a traditional single-fan system. We were also limited by the space within the tunnel as there are some bottlenecks to contend with. A single-fan system wouldn’t suffice in the long run.”
How did you solve it?
“Epiroc suggested a multistage four-fan system that we could activate step by step as we got further in to progressively improve the ventilation as needed. The smaller fans are relatively compact, so we could fit them into the only area available: a steel gantry we built over King William Street.”
Has that solution been satisfactory?
“The efficiency of the fans is brilliant. They’ve been running continuously since the beginning of 2017, but have needed no spare parts and no maintenance beyond the basics. In short, ventilation has been the least of our problems. But our environmental team has been very conscious about the sound levels – I suppose we’re not helping the city noise much. And the cost of running all four fans at full capacity has been quite high. But we’ve throttled them back to 70 percent efficiency and that has helped greatly with both issues.”

New Delhi: In an attempt to pressurise the government to withdraw the three farm Acts, a farmer leader on Monday announced that the protesting farmers will march towards Parliament from different locations on February 1, the day when the government will be presenting the Union Budget 2021-22.
Krantikari Kisan Union leader Darshan Pal announced that kisans will organise a march towards the Parliament on March 1, 2021.
"We will march towards Parliament on foot from different locations on the budget day on February 1. As far as tomorrow's tractor rally is concerned, it will give the government an idea of our strength and they will know the agitation is not just limited to Haryana or Punjab but it is an agitation of whole of the country," he said.
This announcement comes as the government last week agreed to suspend the contentious three farm laws for 1 to 1.5 years and continue deliberations with the kisan unions and reach a conclusion.
Sharing the farmers' plans to intensify the protest, Darshan Pal said: "The farmers who have come for the tractor parade will not go back now and will join the protest. The agitation will continue till our demands met. Our stand remains the same."
The farmers have announced to organise a tractor rally on January 26 which would witness the participation of two lakh tractors that would move into Delhi from three border points --- Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur (UP Gate).
Meanwhile, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh today said that the Centre's proposal to suspend the three farm laws for 1 to 1.5 years is the "best offer" and hoped that the agitation against the farm laws will end soon.
"The government has given the best offer to farmers' unions. I am hopeful that they will convey their decision to us after discussing it among themselves. Once they communicate, we will take it forward," Tomar said.
Tomar reiterated that talks are the only way to end the deadlock. Commenting on the proposes tractor rally, the union minister opined that kisans could have chosen a different day for the parade instead.
Since November 26, 2020, thousands of farmers have been protesting on the different borders of Delhi against the three newly enacted farm laws - Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; the Farmers Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and farm Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.

Interview with Rory Surtain, Author of Phantom
11 Aug 2023
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Phantom?
Every book is steeped in allegory and self-awareness. My prior book, Primaris, was a sufficiently dark, twisted, military thriller that stripped away the MC’s humanity as the story unfolded. In Phantom, he realizes what’s been taken and goes in search of all that he’s lost.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Phantom, what would they be?
Half A God by Like We Are.
My MC’s an incredibly powerful psyker, who can’t escape the consequences of his existence.
What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Science fantasy is my favorite genre, matching the series I’m currently working on. Urban Fantasy is another favorite and likely the source of my next series. Write what you love, and you’ll love what you write.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
My free time has been boiled away by the challenge of creating multi-voice, full-cast audiobooks. The first one, PSYKER, is available now on Audible, Google Play, and Spotify. The process has become a must for any new book.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
The climax (I won’t spoil it).
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I do my own book covers and really enjoy the art of it. I always create a concept book cover before beginning a new book. It helps bring the main characters to life in my imagination.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
“Forgive the world.”
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Always play to your strengths.
Rory Surtain is the author of the new book Phantom

Judge Ann M. Donnelly announced on Tuesday that the singer's request has been denied. Kelly also noted that because of the pandemic, visiting hours at MCC Chicago have been suspended, which prevents him from meeting with his attorneys.
In court documents obtained by Complex, Donnelly explained her reasons for rejecting Kelly's appeal. "While I am sympathetic to the defendant’s understandable anxiety about COVID-19, he has not established compelling reasons warranting his release. At present, there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 at the MCC in Chicago," the judge wrote. The Bureau of Prisons has announced emergency measures to protect inmates and staff, including suspending all legal and social visits, suspending inmate facility transfers, making soap available to inmates, screening and testing inmates and staff, and modifying operations at detention facilities like the MCC to maximize social distancing."
The judge writes that Kelly hasn't "demonstrated" that he's at high risk for contracting the virus. The judge points out that while the singer is 53-years-old, that's 12 years younger than the group of "older adults" that the CDC has deemed as high-risk. While Kelly underwent surgery during his incarceration, "he does not explain how his surgical history places him at a higher risk of severe illness," the judge writes.
Additionally, the judge views Kelly as a flight risk. "[Kelly] is currently in custody because of the risks that he will flee or attempt to obstruct, threaten or intimidate prospective witnesses. The defendant has not explained how those risks have changed."
As for Kelly's argument that he won't be able to prep for trial with his lawyers, the judge has said that Kelly can still speak with them via phone and email. The judge added that it's unlikely the singer's trial will take place in July as scheduled, writing that "as conditions return to normal, [Kelly] and his lawyers will have additional time to prepare for trial."
Kelly's original argument was that he was within the group of people considered by the CDC as high risk. At the time, Kelly's lawyer also pointed to the Bail Reform Act, which permits the "temporary release" of a person in pretrial custody if it's regarded as necessary "for preparation of the person's defense or for another compelling reason."
At the beginning of the month, 6ix9ine was released early from prison due to his asthma, which makes him more susceptible to contracting COVID-19.

Bike Share Toronto, which has a station on Bayview Avenue at Fleming Crescent, is letting would-be cyclists ride for free all day every Wednesday in September.
Check Streeter’s Things To Do for how to do it.
If you’re looking for a condo in the Leaside area, there may be no clear choice between buying or renting. The real estate district encompassing Leaside, Thorncliffe and Flemingdon ranks right in the middle of Toronto neighbourhoods in the latest report by Zoocasa, which looked at purchase prices versus rental costs.
The best area to buy in may be East York and Danforth Village, while the best area to lease in may be Rosedale and Moore Park, the study suggests. Get the full story.
Outbreak of COVID-19 at Sunnybrook Hospital
The hospital that treated Canada’s first two COVID-19 cases back in January is now reporting the latest outbreak. Four confirmed new cases of coronavirus were found in one hospital unit, the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre announced yesterday.
Affected patients have been isolated and additional precautions taken, but otherwise the hospital is open and operating normally — and safely — the hospital assures. Get the full story.
Two caught, one sought in Roehampton stabbing
Police have arrested two of three men allegedly involved in the assault and stabbing of a client of Roehampton Residence on Saturday. The third man remains at large. Here’s the latest.
Client stabbed outside Mt. Pleasant homeless shelter
Three men are being sought by police after the latest violence related to temporary homeless housing in the Mt. Pleasant area. Yesterday police released images of the three, apparently taken from Roehampton Residence security video when the assault and stabbing took place outside the shelter at about 10 p.m. on Saturday.
The city says the victim was a client at the residence on Mt. Pleasant Road but the three wanted men were not. Get the full story.
Midtown nearly free of recent COVID cases
Leaside and Bennington Heights are free of new cases of COVID-19. And other midtown neighbourhoods are the same or close behind, according to the city’s coronavirus map.
It shows zero to three confirmed or probable new cases recently for most neighbourhoods in midtown, as well as in the east end and central Toronto, for the past 21 days — for all of August actually.
Check out how the neighbourhood compares to others in the Streeter article.
Toronto’s traditional end-of-summer show and exhibition is back in 2020, though in anything but traditional form. The CNE continues online starting today until Sept. 7.
Without leaving home now, you can go to the Ex via the new CNE portal, where you can take in shows and performances, share food recipes, learn how to be a busker, take virtual rides, enjoy trips through history, and even enjoy a virtual air show.
Leaside leads city in condo rental growth
The condo market in the Leaside area has experienced a growth in both rented units and available rental units during the pandemic, according to a new real estate report. In fact, Leaside leads all Toronto neighbourhoods in both categories.
The best news though — at least for tenants — is that average prices for condo apartments in the area has fallen.
Across Toronto the formerly tight condo rental market has loosened up dramatically. Read all about it here.
Leasider reports Lexus stolen from home
A member of the Leaside Community page on Facebook reported this morning her Lexus RX 350 was stolen last night. The keys were inside the house in a metal box, as she heard other Lexuses were recently stolen, the owner said in the post. “Obviously these criminals are pros.”
Other members sympathized and told of similar incidents in the area.
Thorncliffe teacher receives anti-racist and equity award
The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario has presented Thorncliffe Park Public School teacher Diana Hernandez an award for her work with refugee students suffering trauma and PTSD.
The award recognizes teachers who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to anti-racist and equity activism in the classroom or community.
Hernandez implemented practices such as classroom calming corners and an outdoor Zen space to address the mental health needs of newcomers and children from war-torn countries, among many other innovations, said a statement from EFTO today.
“Diana has shared her amazing and deep understanding of the mental health needs of refugee and other newcomer students with educators and service providers to make a real difference for these students,” ETFO president Sam Hammond said. Read the full statement here.
Demonstrators clash over homeless shelters
Community anger over homeless housing drew about 100 protesters to Mt. Pleasant Road yesterday — but the issue also drew nearly an equal number of demonstrators supporting the shelters.
The two groups shouted at each other across the street in front of Northern Secondary School. Meanwhile local politicians indicated support for the shelters but lamented how the city has implemented them without consultation.

NDPers back Toronto call to cut back construction noise
Twelve opposition MPPs are asking Premier Doug Ford to give Toronto back the power to limit construction noise. This comes after city council made a similar request, on a motion from councillors Josh Matlow and Mike Colle, and after residents and residents’ associations have complained about noise keeping them awake.
In April the province issued orders allowing “essential” construction projects to generate noise earlier and later than the city had previously allowed. Get the whole story.
Four evenings of slow traffic on Mt. Pleasant
Mt. Pleasant Avenue drivers may be used to delays due to Eglinton Crosstown construction, but they’ll be facing even worse north of Eglinton Avenue East over the next several days. From July 27 to 30, the northbound and southbound lanes of Mt. Pleasant will be partially occupied due to testing for roadway structural assessment, the city says. The work is to be carried out daily from 7 to 11 p.m. between Roehampton and Dawlish avenues.
Leaside house prices up over last year despite shutdown
The average single-detached house in the real estate district that includes Leaside is priced at about $2.4 million in the first six months of this year — a nearly 11-per cent increase over the same period last year — according to a real estate report released yesterday.
The nearby Mount Pleasant area has experienced a comparable rise, while the Rosedale and Moore Park district has seen prices actually drop by an even greater amount.
Get the full story on how we compare to other neighbourhoods.
Child struck by vehicle in Thorncliffe
A child was sent to hospital with a serious leg injury after a collision with a vehicle, police advised on Twitter at about 8:30 this evening. The child had apparently been struck by a vehicle at Leaside Park Drive and Overlea Boulevard.
The vehicle driver remained on the scene and Traffic Services is investigating, police said.
More gunfire in east Leaside
Police reported a shooting early this morning at Vanderhoof Avenue and Glassworks Drive, about a block from the shooting at Vanderhoof and Research Road that left one young man dead more than a month ago. This time, however, only minor injuries appear to have been caused.
Officers were alerted to gunfire in the area at about 5:30 a.m. They found shell casings and holes in buildings at the scene, according to police. Two black males carrying a black backpack are being sought in the ongoing investigation.
Free outdoor programs for kids start Monday
The city announced today it is launching its ParksPlayTO initiative for kids up to age 12 and the Summer in the 6ix program for young people age 13 to 24 on July 20.
No registration is required for these drop-in programs in spaces across the city. In the Leaside area, this includes Leaside Memorial Gardens Pool, Leaside Outdoor Pool and other local locations.
Training on local sports fields gets the go-ahead
You should start to see teams and coaches practising, as the city has reopened outdoor sports facilities as of today. But you won’t be seeing soccer, baseball or other games taking place. The reopening comes with strict rules about physical distancing and the number of people on a field at any given moment — which severely restricts the kind of activities players can get involved in.
See the whole story about parks and fields reopening.
Time to resume your parking permit
If you’re parking on the street with an expired permit, you should be aware the free period due to coronavirus has come to an end. Beginning today the city is restarting its permit parking program. The office remains closed but it can be accessed by phone at 416-392-7873 or by email Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
You can also renew an existing permit holders using the online renewal system or by mail, though you should call first before mailing in an application.
The parking permit renewal window will be open until Aug. 3, and enforcement is expected to begin again starting Aug. 14 at midnight. More information on applying for a parking permit on the city website.
Bicycles needed for women to learn to ride
Women in Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park need bicycles to gain the empowerment of being able to ride. The Women’s Cycling Network and Cycle Don Valley Midtown are seeking donations of bikes for 50 women to learn on. See the Things To Do item to find out more about making a contact-free donation.

President Duterte’s chief economic manager shrugged off fears that the shutdown of ABS-CBN Corp. would weigh on the country’s ability to lure foreign investors.
Finance Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez III said that foreign investor confidence remains strong despite the issue on the pending congressional franchise of the Lopez-led television network.
In particular, the finance chief cited the $2.35 billion foreign investments in government’s latest global bond sale.
“Recently, we raised $2.35 billion in our bonds. That is an investment in the Philippines and that happened this issue with ABS-CBN. So, I think our bondholders—to the extent of $2.35 billion—are very confident in the Philippine economy,” Dominguez told reporters.
While the country is seeing a slowdown in foreign direct investments, Dominguez said that this is primarily due to the coronavirus pandemic, which also affected business sentiments in other economies.
“We have seen a slowdown, yes, but essentially this is because of the COVID pandemic. Most companies around the world—here and abroad—are keeping their money in cash, in case they experience a drop in demand, or any other problems with their own company,” he said.
“We have not seen any direct result of a slowdown in investment because of the ABS-CBN issue,” the finance chief added.
Dominguez also said that the renewal of the ABS-CBN franchise does not hinge on President Duterte.
“The fact that ABS-CBN does not have its franchise is not an administration issue. Franchises are not provided by the administration, they are provided by the Congress. So, that issue is so strictly with them,” Dominguez said.

ESPN FPI: LSU has toughest remaining schedule, Florida won't win out
The Florida-LSU game, which was postponed from Oct. 8 and rescheduled Nov. 19, was discussed widely in the national media for its importance to the SEC division races. While the result could ultimately decide which teams get to go to Atlanta, ESPN’s Football Power Index shows that the Gators and Tigers themselves have slim chances of winning a conference championship.
— David Ching (@ESPNChing) October 17, 2016
LSU has the toughest remaining schedule according to the ESPN metric, which gives the Tigers only a 4 percent chance of winning out and the same chance of winning the SEC. Interim coach Ed Orgeron has a difficult schedule ahead of him (Ole Miss, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida and Texas A&M) as he tries to earn the full-time job.
While the above graphic shows Florida having a 0 percent chance of winning out, the actual website shows 0.4 percent (to quote “Dumb and Dumber,” there is a chance). UF’s remaining schedule is considered the seventh-most difficult, and includes games against Georgia, Arkansas, LSU and FSU all away from The Swamp. With that in mind, it might not have been wise for Florida cornerback Quincy Wilson to start trolling Tennessee over a one-game advantage in the SEC East standings.

George Soros hedge fund disclosed it bought a $811 million stake in Petrobras. This makes the Petrobras holding 22% of the fund. Ken Heebner, head of the CGM Focus Fund (Nasdaq: CGMFX) purchased over two million shares of Petrobras this year for more than $100 million. Compared to the big boys Heebner is a pipsqueak. Fidelity holds 125 million shares, Marisco 54 million, Capital World 54 million, Wellington Mgmt 34 million and American Funds 25 million. You would think all of that institutional attention would have kept Petrobras from sliding -35% over the last three months. That would be especially true considering they just announced they made the biggest oil discovery in the last 30 years.
Zacks reiterated their buy rating on Petrobras because of its positive production growth profile and the improving outlook for its downstream business. Petrobras has announced several new refineries and partnerships with others. Petrobras will need the extra refining capacity when its new production from the Tupi field comes online over the next 8-10 years. The Tupi field is said to contain between 5-8 billion barrels but now scientists think it is only part of a much larger field that could contain over 60 billion barrels. The Brazilian government halted sales of leases in offshore blocks in the Tupi area in order to preserve the wealth for the Brazilian people. Petrobras has awarded contracts for drilling rigs in excess of $25 billion over the next four years with some contracts going out as far as 2016. Petrobras has contracted for 28 rigs to drill in the Tupi area. That is one third of the global deepwater fleet.
All this attention to Petrobras has the Brazilian government looking for new ways to capture the wealth. Petrobras is a national oil company owned by Brazil but it is also a public company. The Brazilian government is considering forming another national oil company that will only explore and produce in the Tupi area. It would not be a public company and therefore not need to worry about shareholders. This would be a detriment to Petrobras after finding and exploring the Tupi field on its own dime. It remains to be seen if the government will nationalize this field but given the nationalistic wave led by Hugo Chavez in Latin America it is always a worry. Until then the big players like Soros and Heebner keep pouring money into the stock of Petrobras. Even without Tupi Petrobras is one of the biggest and best run deep-water drillers on the planet. The Tupi find may turn into a national treasure but you can bet Petrobras will still get a major chunk for its efforts.
Until the Brazilian government decides what they are going to do everyone is taking some money off the table but still remaining heavily invested just in case Brazil does nothing and continues to let Petrobras run the show. (Nyse: PBR) has closed on support at $50 for two weeks with oil prices plunging. Several new analysts are starting to pound the table on PBR simply because the implied value either with or without Tupi is still a terrific bargain.

In this latest installment of our Sneak Peek series, we are highlighting If the Tabloids Are True What Are You? by Matthea Harvey. It's not often that you come across a book that's so inventive, so wonderfully strange, that it can only be described as a truly hybrid work.
If the Tabloids Are True What Are You?
Title:If the Tabloids Are True What Are You?
Poems and Images
"A book truly unlike any other. . . . There's no way to describe it, except to say that it must be read and seen to be believed, if not quite understood. Harvey is a genius of the unusual, and of the dark underbelly of the adorable; she is one of our most important poets, and this book proves it."—NPR, A 2014 Poetry Preview
“Matthea Harvey [is] one of America’s most imaginative, playful, and perceptive poets. . . . Harvey is definitively coming into her prime.”—Publishers Weekly, “Top 10 Poetry Books of Fall 2014”
About the Book
A brilliant combination of poetry and visual artwork by Matthea Harvey, whose vision is “nothing short of blazingly original” (Time Out New York)
She didn’t even know she had a name until one day she heard the human explaining to another one, “Oh that’s just the backyard mermaid.” “Backyard Mermaid,” she murmured, as if in prayer. On days when there’s no sprinkler to comb through her curls, no rain pouring in glorious torrents from the gutters, no dew in the grass for her to nuzzle with her nose, not even a mud puddle in the kiddie pool, she wonders how much longer she can bear this life. The front yard thud of the newspaper every morning. Singing songs to the unresponsive push mower in the garage. Wriggling under fence after fence to reach the house four down which has an aquarium in the back window. She wants to get lost in that sad glowing square of blue. Don’t you?
—from “The Backyard Mermaid”
—from “The Backyard Mermaid”
Prose poems introduce deeply untraditional mermaids alongside mer-tool silhouettes. A text by Ray Bradbury is erased into a melancholy meeting with a Martian. The Michelin Man is possessed by William Shakespeare. Antonio Meucci’s invention of the telephone is chronicled next to embroidered images of his real and imagined patents. If the Tabloids Are True What Are You? combines Matthea Harvey’s award-winning poetry with her fascinating visual artwork into a true hybrid book, an amazing and beautiful work by one of our most ingenious creative artists.
"If you care about modern American poetry you care about Matthea Harvey."—Daniel Handler, Los Angeles Times
One of Publishers Weekly’s Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2014
"In extending her concept of poetic craft into the physical realm, and by refusing to honor its discretion from poetry, Harvey has created a work that is both generous and sui generis, that makes as good a door as it does a window."—Boston Globe
"The illustrations and artwork in her new collection exhibit Harvey's skill as an artist whose visual work embodies the kind of playful imagining and deep foreboding present in much of her written work."—Poets & Writers
"If the Tabloids Are True What Are You? is Matthea Harvey at her best—playful, intellectual and imaginative, embracing the mythology of mermaids, Martians, and scientific patents with the same verve and wit. . . . It's Harvey's obvious love of language and the cavalcade of characters. . . . that drives the powerful engine of this ambitious and creative work."—The Rumpus
"Matthea Harvey's whimsy almost defies the scope of the English language. She seems to sculpt out of molten glass the topics and the treatments in her poems, optimistic fairy tales for a universe where everything's deformed, or maybe deformed fairies in a universe where everything's optimistic: it's easy to feel almost at home among her poems, which are sometimes uncanny in the way that scary truths are uncanny, sometimes uncanny like the Uncanny X-Men, and sometimes uncanny in that their delightful artifice should, but can't, be preserved and canned."—Stephen Burt, The Paris Review Daily
"Matthea Harvey is one of the most playful and strange poets writing today. . . . Her latest book is a fantastic art object."—Bustle
“[If the Tabloids Are True] as a whole resembles the blog of a witty, hopelessly artsy friend—one that is rhythmic and skillfully paced and paired with ‘visual puns’ to borrow a phrase from René Magritte. . . . These are poems well attuned to life’s bizarre glory, for which the reader—alternatively bewildered and delighted—is ultimately grateful.”—West Branch
"This urgent book, one that contains semi-magical concoctions like 'The Backyard Mermaid,' is truer to our lives than any Buddha shoveling snow."—Flavorwire, Best Books of 2014
"True story: A teenager saw me with Matthea Harvey's new book of poems as I sat with it in a café and asked if she could look at it. . . . 'This,' swear to God she said to me, 'is the coolest book in the world.' And there you go. This is where Matthea Harvey is, reaching out to the page-flippers and the inked, without turning her back on the grown forms and the choices that make wonderful poetry so wonderful to behold. Take a picture; make one. This is where we are."—Daniel Handler, Los Angeles Times
“Harvey is a bold reformer of words and art and when these are put together, we enter a fantasy of poetic courage and revolutionary expansion. . . . Open this book to any page and you’ll find road maps leading you to magical poems and visuals never thought of before.”—Washington Independent Review of Books
"Harvey is gifted at adapting her art into whatever form she desires. . . . [Her book is] the product of a mercurial brain that doesn't conform to barriers, that seeps into everything, that allows us to float freely in the power of something greater than ourselves."—The Stranger
"This is a book of surprises. That is not to say that it is erratic or that it darts off on tangents. On the contrary, it is meticulous, coherent, consistent. But the rich, delightful world Harvey. . . . establishes in these poems is just sufficiently at variance with the familiar to keep the reader slightly puzzled and off balance. Tabloids leaves you looking at well-known objects and finding them rewardingly peculiar. . . . Her love of the fantastic is rooted in a profoundly humane interest in how human emotions are continuous across unfamiliar settings."—Harvard Review
“Entertaining [and] whimsical.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“If the Tabloids Are True What Are You? comments on the news as entertainment, but it also represents—in its own drift away from words on a page—the transformation of the news.”—Pleiades
"An ambitious and inventive new collection. . . . Brilliant strings of weird imagery and narrative yield unlikely resonances and stir fresh emotions in the reader, and are reinforced by the poems' intellectual cores. . . . Made even more pleasurable by its visual elements."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Brilliantly imaginative. . . ."—Largehearted Boy
"This hybrid poetry and visual art collection encompasses prose poems with intriguing and crystalline photographs for titles, embroidered models of imagined inventions, and mermaid silhouettes. . . . Brilliant."—Numéro Cinq
"Like entering a familiar place turned upside down, where we must ask ourselves where we fit in. . . . Inventive and disturbing."—Library Journal, starred review
“An impressively original work. . . . Harvey’s poems are like a barrel of snakes, writhing and alive with metaphor and illusion, almost impossible to firmly grip, but step away for a few days, and the brilliance of this book will be revealed.”—The Improbable
“If the Tabloids Are True points out the flaws in our society, by demonstrating how the strange things in this world are only strange because we make them out to be so. . . . The process of reading this book opens our brains to the unnerving creativity of this world’s potential, and helps us to be more accepting of the unfamiliar.”—Porter Gulch Review
“Harvey can be a riotously inventive curator of menageries. . . . Smart and strangely sad. If the Tabloids Are True What Are You? is certainly better than most books of poetry you might read this year. It snaps with wit and cunning.”—Books & Culture
“Harvey’s latest is an engrossing hybrid that highlights the poet’s quirky sensibilities.”—Time Out New York

Due to the sudden unavailability of our previous program soloist, we are presenting a new, but still inspiring program at this concert. Both Serenades (Elgar and Tchaikovsky) are staples of the repertoire because of their lyricism and, especially in the Tchaikovsky selections, their incredible motion and playfulness. African American composer William Grant Still’s Panamanian Dances pulls from traditions that span a much larger swath of Latin America than the title suggests. You will find the serenading works have their dancing moments—after all the most famous movement of the Tchaikovsky piece is the Waltz!––and the Panamanian Dances never stop singing! These pieces are all incredible works for the string repertoire and the orchestra and we are passionate about them!
Conversation with the Conductor at 1:00 PM.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — It’s quitting time for more than 100 Sears and Kmart stores across the country. Sears Holding announced Tuesday that the company would have to close the stores, fueling speculation about whether Sears, which has a 125-year history, can turn itself around and survive. Folks in Wilmington say they go out of their way to shop at Sears because of its long history.
“I trust Sears,” shopper Tracy King said. “I mean, it’s been around since ever since I was little.”
Despite some customer loyalty, the company has been struggling with falling sales and shabby stores, as rivals like Walmart and Target spruce up their looks and turn into one-stop shopping destinations.
The locations of the closing stores has not been released yet, but some shoppers in the Cape Fear say they’re worried. Employees at the Independence Mall Sears say they’re not worried about the store closing, but were not allowed to give an official comment on the the situation. They did say, however, that some customers have asked about the store’s status. They said they think smaller stores in the country will close first.
Shoppers say regardless of what the company decides, the city should fight to keep the stores open.
“I think Wilmington should keep all of the major brands open,” King said. “You just don’t have a lot of other places where you can go.”
Although Sears Holding said on its website it will post a list of closed stores, so far the company has not posted it. WWAY will keep you updated on the Wilmington stores status as it becomes available.
