Who: Electro-tribal trio who formed in Baltimore, where singer Chris Keating and guitarist Anand Wilder attended prep school. The group bonded over seeing shows by classmates Animal Collective and turned a 2008 LSD trip in New Zealand (with singer-bassist Ira Wolf Tuton) into the inspiration behind their latest disc Odd Blood, which positions them as the next weird-ass band to break out of the Brooklyn scene.
Sounds Like: The band’s new LP is a dizzying, hyperdetailed mix of heady prof-rock, New Wave hooks and electro grooves with a definite Eighties vibe. Peter Gabriel’s drummer Jerry Marotta helped record Odd Blood in an upstate New York studio packed with rare synths and percussion instruments from around the globe.
• Odd Blood is partially inspired by inventor Ray Kurzweil’s theory that computer intelligence will eventually supersede the human mind. “When it comes to our aesthetic, we ask ourselves ‘What will music sound like in 20 years? ‘ ” Keating says. “It’s a good way to keep your brain active.”
• The trio agrees that their mass acid trip made them listen to their music differently. “I realized that what I liked about our music was how confusing it could be,” Wilder says. ” ‘What is that sound? Is it a guitar? A synth? A horse? A loon?’ We’ve always been more interested in sounds, textures and tones than lyrics, and this album is even trippier than our first.”
• Yeasayer have big plans for their upcoming tour, including custom-built light columns and giant illuminated balloons. Keating even has a new warm-up routine in mind: “I get into characters — like, pretend there’s a witch. Whoo! It’ll be a blast.”
Get It Now: Check out Yeasayer’s video for “Ambling Alp” above and follow their antics on their blog. The band is also scheduled to appear at Coachella, and Odd Blood hits stores next Tuesday.

Earlier this week, Inside Higher Ed released its 2017 Survey of College and University Admissions Directors in the U.S. (available for download), and according to the headline from IHE‘s own analysis of the survey results, admissions officers face “pressure all around” to meet enrollment goals, recruit the right mix of students and bring in the money to pay the institution’s bills. Only 34 percent of admissions officers surveyed reported that they met their institution’s enrollment targets. That’s down from 37 percent a year ago and 42 percent two years ago.
But there’s much more to glean from the survey results. Here are five key takeaways from the report:
- A quest for more students who will pay their own way. Among private institutions especially, there is a desire to recruit more students with non-need-based scholarships and out-of-state students, who typically pay more in tuition.
- International recruiting challenges. Nearly half (45 percent) of admissions leaders surveyed said they think institutions have become too reliant on full-pay international students, while 53 percent from private colleges and 39 percent from publics believe higher education has become too dependent “on international students from a few countries, such as China and India.” Interestingly, few admissions officers thought these trends applied to their own campuses — only to others.
- The Trump effect. Admissions officers believe the 2016 presidential elections affected international recruitment. “Eighty-six percent agreed or strongly agreed that ‘the statements and policies of President Trump make it more difficult to recruit international students,'” IHE reports. But the Trump effect extends beyond international students, according to the survey results. It can be seen in a new focus on recruiting low-income white students from rural areas.
- Concerns about debt. Fully 71 percent in public higher education and 89 percent in private higher education believe they are losing applicants due to concerns over debt. “The finding is significant,” IHE writes, “because the question is about applicants. Many colleges are generous, some exceptionally so, on student aid that minimizes the need to borrow. But if applicants don’t apply, they won’t know what they could have received.”
- Concerns about image. Most admissions officers agree that higher education’s image and reputation have taken a hit in recent years. According to the report, “Higher education has come under increased scrutiny amid questions of whether the rapidly increasing price of college is worth the payoff after graduation. Admissions directors appear concerned about the image of higher education these days and the implications of the image concerns on enrollment numbers. And their attitudes are significantly more pessimistic than a year ago.” For instance, “Fully 95 percent of admissions directors strongly agree (59 percent) or agree (36 percent) that higher education needs to do a better job of explaining the value of a college education, up from 87 percent a year ago. Roughly two-thirds of admissions directors now strongly agree or agree that media reports of unemployed or underemployed college graduates (67 percent, up from 56 percent a year ago) and public discussion of student debt (64 percent, up from 54 percent) discourage students from considering higher education.” Admissions officers also express concerns about a lack of understanding of the value of higher education, particularly the value of a liberal arts education. But that’s a topic that deserves its own blog post.

Why: When people think of beach getaways, they never consider Egypt. Tourism in Egypt is down, due to the unstable government, shaky economy and terrorism. Despite this, you shouldn't fear going to Egypt. In my experience, I have found it to be completely safe. Plus, it's remarkably cheap. During the low season (spring), you can catch flights from the U.S. to Egypt for around $400-$600 then get a flight to Hurghada for around $50 or so roundtrip, depending on the date. Hurghada has coral reefs and beautiful deserts. A desert tour can cost you about $30. What's remarkable: The five-star luxury hotels are so cheap. I stayed at the Marriot Hurghada right on the beach for $50 a night. Literally as soon as you step outside the hotel you're on the beach. Most of the rooms right now in Hurghada are going for under $100. Your money goes a long way in Egypt because the dollar is worth more and not many people are going, due to fear.
Hotel Tonight. While Hotel Tonight is an app that bypasses direct communication with travel companies, it can still be a great source for good, last-minute deals. Hotel Tonight takes advantage of hotel owners’ desire to fill empty rooms by enabling last-minute bookings at up to 70% off standard rates. It’s available for iPhones, iPads, and Android devices.
Why: Okay, you may be thinking, “Isn’t Saint Martin/Sint Maarten destroyed?” Yes, this unique Caribbean island, which is half French (Saint Martin) and half Dutch (Sint Maarten), was devastated by Hurricane Irma. But now it’s on the mend. Saint Martin’s famed Princess Juliana International Airport has been open since late October 2017. The majority of the island’s electricity has been restored, and many beaches, bars, restaurants and businesses have reopened their doors. Because tourists are still wary, many hotels have discounted rates (like Hotel Mercure for $169 night) as well as gorgeous Airbnb properties starting at $50 a night. It’s a win-win. Not only will you save money, but your money will be spent on businesses and people who really need our help.
Discover why the Islands of Aloha are home to treasures unlike any other on Earth. Hawaii is more than just the birth place of modern surfing and hula, it's a land of relaxation, adventure, natural beauty, and of welcoming locals. You'll find the itineraries in Hawaii are endless. From adventure tours to family fun; from soaking in the cultural sights to a hike on a volcano; you can do it all or you can simply lie on the beach all day.
Why: It might be expensive to get to the Northern Territory of Australia, but the investment of money and time is worth it to experience this once-in-a-lifetime destination. The Northern Territory of Australia is best known for Australia’s most famous natural landscape, the dual World Heritage listed, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, which spans 311,000 acres of wilderness. Australia’s spiritual center, Ayer’s Rock, is all lit up by internationally acclaimed artist Bruce Munro’s immersive installation, “Field of Light Uluru.” The exhibition has been so popular since it launched in April 2016 that the artist has agreed to keep the installation open until December 31, 2020. Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia sustainably manages Ayers Rock Resort on behalf of the Indigenous Land Corporation, and all profits from the business go toward supporting indigenous training and employment across Australia. Safari in Australia? What's that you say, mate? The diverse geographic terrain of the Northern Territory allows for travelers to go from the Outback to the tropical Top End, which experiences some of the dramatic climatic extremes of any region in Australia. The coastal floodplains are Australia’s answer to the Okavango Delta and the Kakadu and Arnhem Land are the heartland of indigenous culture. Stay at Kakadu Lodge and Caravan Park for as little as $78 a night, where you can save your money for the ultimate treat: a stay at the bucket list-worthy Bamurru Plains, a bush camp on the edge of the Kakadu National Park.

Why you should go: Goa’s coastal-scapes are sumptuous, wrangling the perfect balance of untouched beauty and clean, cared-for strands. Tourist creature comforts abound: jungle parties, seafood feasts, drop-in yoga on the beach. But you’ll get the gratification of skipping off the beaten track too. Spending another $18 a day will get you a motorbike and unlimited access to backwoods lagoons and hidden beaches, where it’ll be just you and the sea turtles bathing.
Bali, Indonesia is a bucket-list must: beautiful beaches, ornate temples, delicious food and stunning vistas—this island is where travel dreams become reality! Combine cheap flights with a super affordable 4-star hotel, and say hello to a honeymoon or vacation that won't destroy your budget. What's Included? Based on two people sharing, this vacation deal includes…

|Abstract:||In a murine melanoma model, malignant transformation promoted by a sustained stress condition was causally related to increased levels of reactive oxygen species resulting in DNA damage and massive epigenetic alterations. Since the chromatin modifier Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) is a protein attracted to double-stranded DNA break (DSB) sites and can recruit other components of the epigenetic machinery, we aimed to define the role of SIRT1 in melanomagenesis through our melanoma model. The DNA damage marker, gamma H2AX was found increased in melanocytes after 24 hours of deadhesion, accompanied by increased SIRT1 expression and decreased levels of its target, H4K16ac. Moreover, SIRT1 started to be associated to DNMT3B during the stress condition, and this complex was maintained along malignant progression. Mxd1 was identified by ChIP-seq among the DNA sequences differentially associated with SIRT1 during deadhesion and was shown to be a common target of both, SIRT1 and DNMT3B. In addition, Mxd1 was found downregulated from pre-malignant melanocytes to metastatic melanoma cells. Treatment with DNMT inhibitor 5AzaCdR reversed the Mxd1 expression. Sirt1 stable silencing increased Mxd1 mRNA expression and led to down-regulation of MYC targets, such as Cdkn1a, Bcl2 and Psen2, whose upregulation is associated with human melanoma aggressiveness and poor prognosis. We demonstrated a novel role of the stress responsive protein SIRT1 in malignant transformation of melanocytes associated with deadhesion. Mxd1 was identified as a new SIRT1 target gene. SIRT1 promoted Mxd1 silencing, which led to increased activity of MYC oncogene contributing to melanoma progression.|

Prime Minister Hatoyama Resigns
Eight months after taking office, Japan's Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama announced his resignation on Wednesday. When the left-leaning, Hatoyama-led Democratic Party of Japan came into office last September, it was the first time in decades the parliamentary majority didn’t go to the center-right Liberal Democratic Party. He promised large-scale change in Japan’s foreign and domestic policies -- most notably to move a U.S. military base called Futenma on the southern island of Okinawa. When the debate over the base stalemated, and it was decided to leave it where it was, lawmakers within the Democratic Party as well as the Japanese public called for his resignation. However, because the Democratic Party still has a commanding majority in Parliament, Hatoyama’s resignation won’t force another election. A new prime minister will be announced Friday.
American military presence is concentrated on the southern island of Okinawa where Futenma hosts about 47,000 U.S. troops. The base, a reminder of post-war American occupation, is a controversial topic for many Okinawans. On May 17th, a reported 17,000 protesters formed a human chain around the base. A good overview of the debate, with many interesting testimonials from Okinawans, can be found here, and an American soldier based in Okinawa gives his side here.
Astronaut Soichi Noguchi returned to Earth on Wednesday. He stayed on the International Space Station for 163 consecutive days -- the longest stint for any Japanese astronaut. "The air on Earth tastes good," he said when he touched down in Kazakhstan. "I can powerfully smell grass and soil." While in space, Noguchi took part in a number of experiments, and built and installed a robotic arm in Japan’s Kibo module. When he had a free moment, he posted incredible images from space on from his Twitter account, @astro_soichi.

If you run a Discord server, you have a wide variety of options to provide neat features for your players. One of those features is the addition of bots. Customizing your server is simple once you learn how to add these bots.
In this article, I’ll go over how to set up a Discord server, introduce you to the world of bots, and explain how to add bots to your Discord server (and why you might want to).
What Are Discord Bots?
Bots are simply computer programs that interact with human beings (and sometimes with other bots) to perform certain functions automatically. A website that has a helpful chat window immediately opens up offering to talk with you about their product or service; that’s a bot. If you use Reddit, you see bot interactions (beep! boop!) all the time.
Bots can be helpful or infuriating, depending on their purpose, their design, and how they are deployed. On Discord, bots provide a variety of productive and not-so-productive features to the community on the server where they “live.” You can add bots to your Discord server that help you to moderate members or make your server a little more unique and fun.
For example, there are bots that play music, bots that offer amusing memes on request, bots that fetch your game stats for you, and bots that play a loud air horn noise on the channel when prompted to do so.
Finding Good Bots
The Discord world is full of bots; there are thousands of freely-available bots out there. There’s a list of some silly and semi-useful bots here if you like, but more serious bots can be found on the Carbonitex website, which is regarded as one of the best repositories of Discord bots around. Another reputable repository for Discord bots is called, simply enough, Discord Bots. For the truly hardcore, a GitHub search for Discord bots will find just about everything that it is in the public view.
Adding Bots To Your Discord Server
Adding Bots to your Discord server can be a lengthy process the first time around. Once you get a hang of it, it’s actually quite simple.
Step 1 – Turn On Administrator Access
To add bots to your Discord Server you will have to be an Administrator of that server. If you don’t own the server it’s probably a good idea to check with the owner before adding anything to it.
- From your Discord home page select the server you’d like to add the bot to (on the left-hand side of the Discord Website)
- Once Selected; Choose the drop-down menu (The server name in the top left-hand of the screen with a small down arrow next to it)
- Tap “Server Settings”
- Tap “Roles”
- Scroll down to the General Permissions setting and toggle “Administrator” on
- Click “Save Changes”
Step 2 – Get the Bots You Want
It’s important to note that depending on your Bots’ source website you may see “Invite” or “Add Bots.” For this example, we’ll use Dyno, but the instructions may vary slightly if you’re adding another Bot.
Find the Bot that you’ll add to your server and login using your Discord credentials.
Tap “Invite” or “Add Bot” whichever is listed, then tap on the server you’d like to add the Bot to.
Follow the prompts – This will take you through a series of permissions and will ask for Administrator access which is why Step 1 is so important
Authorize the Bot and complete the Captcha
There are several options for bots available; some may differ in their process but following the prompts will make the installation successful.
If you have trouble with finding your server make sure that you are logged into Discord in the same browser you’re using for the Bots’ website. Also, verify that you are signed into the correct account.
If you want to add someone as an administrator on your server, check out this TechJunkie on adding a new administrator.
One popular Bot is Dyno; a full-featured bot with moderation features, music playing abilities, CleverBot integration, and a lot of other features outside the scope of this article. It’s been added to more than 1.4 million Discord servers, so it’s kind of popular.
You can get Dyno from the Carbonitex website.
- Click the green “Add Bot to Server” button. This will bring up a confirming dialog from Discord asking you to choose which server you want to add Dyno to. You’ll need to be logged in to your server for Discord to know that it’s you trying to add something.
- Select your server and click “Authorize.”
You may have to fill in an “I’m not a robot” captcha, but after that, the bot will be automatically added to your server, and you’ll be taken to the administration page for managing Dyno on your server.
If you’re more hardcore and want to add bots without bothering with the pretty interface, you can also add them directly. You’ll need to know the client ID of the bot, and you’ll need to be logged into your Discord server. (This is the method you’ll need to use for most GitHub bots, which don’t have a web interface.)
- Open your browser and paste the following URL: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<Bot_Client_ID>&scope=bot&permissions=0.
- Change ‘Bot_Client_ID’ in the above URL with the actual client ID of the bot you want to add.
- You may still have to authorize the bot even though the command uses Oauth2 to do that very thing.
Authorizing Your Discord Bot
Discord is very careful with bots and sometimes requires multiple authorizations to enable one to work. Even though the platform uses Oauth2 to enable a permitted bot to access and interact, you may still be asked to authorize it within the channel.
Some Popular Discord Bots
Now that you know how to add bots, what are some of the bots you should add? Well, only you know what kind of environment you want your server to have. Here is a list of some of the more popular Discord bots and why you might want to add them.
Dank Member displays memes and has a variety of other meme-related features.
Pancake is a basic multi-featured bot with moderation features and music playing.
Nadeko plays games, offers gambling, and has administration tools.
MedalBot lets your users record clips.
RickBot offers more than 4500 custom soundboards.
Groovy is a music bot that supports Spotify, YouTube, and Soundcloud.
Rythm is a fully-functional music bot that is very stable.
Mantaro is a customizable “fun” bot.
A translator is a multilingual bot that provides instant translation between more than 100 languages.
More Bot Resources
There are a lot of resources out there to help you choose, customize, and even create your own Discord bots. Here are some of the most popular and useful bot-oriented resources available on the Web to help you get the most out of your bot experience.
Discord.me is a large Discord community where users can add and promote servers, but the site’s overall mission is to “help people find online communities they love.” The site has 33 categories of servers, ranging from Military to Mature, Anime to Art, and Fitness to Furry.

The American Iron & Steel Institute (AISI) recently reported final raw steel production estimates for the month of February 2016. The monthly estimates are different than the weekly estimates we report in our Tuesday issues; the AISI bases the monthly estimates on 75 percent of the domestic mills reporting vs. only 50 percent for the weekly estimates.
Total raw steel production for the month of February was reported to be 7,081,275 net tons with 4,592,622 tons being produced by electric arc furnaces (EAF) and 2,488,653 tons produced by blast furnaces. February raw steel production was reported to be 35,502 tons or 0.5 percent lower than the previous month but 262,757 tons or 3.9 percent higher over the same month last year.
Compared to the first two months of 2015, 2016 YTD production is down 4.2 percent to 14,198,052 tons. The table below shows that all 11 state-groups in the yearly comparison were reported as down.
The capacity utilization rate for the month of February 2016 was reported to be 73.1 percent, up from 68.7 percent in January and better than the 72.1 percent reported in February 2015 (note: there has been a reduction in available capacity between 2015 and 2016. This pushes the capacity utilization rate higher in 2016 for the same amount of steel produced).

I have a skeleton rig and mesh configured in blender that I have imported from 3rd party application. The rig and mesh are already working together correctly in blender.
I would like to adjust the position of some of the bones to align with animations from another 3rd party application.
Currently 1 or 2 bones cause the mesh to deform incorrectly due to differences in bone position between the animations and the armature for my skeletal mesh.
So the question, is it possible to move the position of the bone without the attached mesh being deformed during the move and maintain the existing weight painting for the new bone position?
So for example in my rig the neck bone is positioned more towards the back of the neck surface, but the neck bone in the animation is more centered, so when I apply the animation the head of my mesh is artificially leaning forward due to relocation of neck bone.
When I try to move any bone in my rig the attached mesh moves with it
Hopefully the makes some form of sense :oo
Thanks in advance

Haydn: Paris Symphonies - Zurich Chamber Orchestra/Norrington
Classic FM Album of the Week, 21 April 2015, after 10am
Sir Roger Norrington is best known for his historically informed performances of Baroque, Classical and Romantic music. On this album he turns his attention - and that of the Zurich Chamber Orchestra - to some of the most popular of Haydn's 104 symphonies.
For Parisians prior to the French Revolution, Haydn's symphonies were seen as powerful, innovative works which demonstrated the composer's brilliance and invention.
Here, the 30-strong ensemble - tightly drilled by Norrington - clearly demonstrate why they've achieved international importance. Sir Roger brings to these performances the expected solid historical scholarship, to give us a Haydn collection that is dazzling, charming and fascinating.

Tourmalinated Quartz is not associated with any particular birthstone month.
Tourmalinated Quartz is not associated with any particular zodiac sign.
Tourmalinated Quartz is a Silicon Dioxide and a macrocrystalline variety of Quartz that contains black or dark green Tourmaline needles.
History & Lore:
There is not 100% agreement regarding the exact origins of the name Quartz, but the two most widely accepted opinions are that the word Quartz is derived from the Greek 'krystallos', meaning “ice”, or the German 'quarz'.
Some of the earliest primitive tools fashioned by man some 2.5 million years ago, and discovered in the Omo valley in Ethiopia were made of Quartz. It is believed that Quartz was used because of its hardness and isotropic brittleness that made the fashioning of the tools relatively easy.
Chipped flint projectile points used for fire-making have been found on Mousterian sites in western Europe that date back around 40,000 years.
In addition to its use in tool-making, certain varieties of Quartz were used for divination. Spherical Quartz rock crystals were often shaped into crystal balls and used for disease diagnosis and awareness of events occurring in distant places.
More recently there was major production of synthetic Quartz during World War II. This synthetic Quartz was used to supply crystals for radios.
Today, Quartz is not only used for gemstone purposes, but also as a raw chemical ingredient in the manufacturing of abrasives, cements, concrete, porcelain, glass, and many other industrial materials.
Because of its piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties, Quartz is commonly used in the production of watches, clocks, computers, and radios.
Tourmalinated Quartz is believed to be a strong energy deflector that will protect the wearer from negative emotions and thoughts. In addition to this, it is thought to be a grounding stone and can aid in balancing the body and mind.
Tourmalinated Quartz is readily available at affordable prices.
Though Tourmalinated Quartz can be found in most of the major gem producing nations, today the vast majority is mined in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Tourmalinated Quartz is rated at 7 on the Moh's Scale of Hardness. This variety of clear Quartz contains Tourmaline impurities within the stone. Whilst Most transparent varieties of Quartz are valued most when they contain no inclusions, Tourmalinated Quartz is sought-after because of it's Black or dark green Tourmaline needle inclusions. Tourmalinated Quartz is formed because at high temperatures and pressure, the Quartz and Tourmaline minerals are in a liquid state and therefore able to mix. As these temperatures cool and the pressure drops, the two minerals separate once more, with the Tourmaline needles being trapped inside the Quartz and creating Tourmalinated Quartz.
There are several closely related Quartz varieties that go through a similar formation process, with the needles of Tourmaline being replaced with different impurities. These include Rutilated Quartz, Grass/Actinolite Quartz, and Dendritic Quartz.
Though Tourmalinated Quartz can be cut into most of the common gemstone cuts/shapes, it is most often cut into cabochons as this cut best displays the Tourmaline needles. It is also occasionally used for carvings / sculptures.
There are no known enhancements for Tourmalinated Quartz.
Care & Cleaning:
Tourmalinated Quartz is generally best cleaned using warm soapy water and a soft brush. As with most gemstones, Tourmalinated Quartz should be kept away from household chemicals and from prolonged exposure to extremes of heat as this can cause damage or permanent changes in coloration. Tourmalinated Quartz jewelry should be kept in a fabric-lined box away from other jewelry items in order to avoid scratching.

Mollecularly, cancer is typically associated with gain of function mutations in oncogenes as well as loss of function mutations in tumor-suppressor genes. One gene in particular has been associated with a wide variety of cancers, PIK3CA. PIK3CA is a gene responsible for PI3K, a downstream protein in RTK signaling that converts PIP2 to PIP3, thus continuing the signal transduction pathway. However, in double PIK3CA mutants, PI3K acts independently of RTK signaling, converting PIP2 to PIP3 leading to hyperactive downstream AKT, activating the signal pathway with no ligand present in the RTK. This hyperactivation leads to increased and unregulated cell proliferation and survival1. This double mutant PIK3CA is a common mutations in many cancers, especially breast cancer.

Police: Man charged with murder in fatal DUI crash
A man is now charged with murder for a deadly crash that killed a passenger in his car, and that's not the only serious charge he is facing.
The crash happened last Wednesday, the day after Christmas, around 11 p.m. on Newburg Road near Broadmoor Boulevard.
Louisville Metro Police said 25-year-old Joshua Mendez was driving under the influence when he lost control of his car.
He was traveling southbound on Newburg Road when he hit the median and overcorrected, police said.
The car went off the roadway and rolled several times.
Mendez had two passengers in the car.
The backseat passenger, 24-year-old Alfredo Zepeda-Rodriguez, was ejected and later died at University of Louisville Hospital.
Mendez and the other passenger were injured, but their injuries were not life-threatening.
"Because Mr. Mendez was under the influence of alcohol, our traffic unit took over the investigation, and they did charge him with murder, driving under the influence, wanton endangerment, assault second, no insurance and operating a vehicle without a license," said LMPD spokesperson Alicia Smiley.
The coroner said Rodriguez died from multiple blunt-force injuries.
Police said he wasn't wearing a seat belt.

There is one exciting event in the film world which I am very much looking forward to. That is the new film by Alejandro Jodorowsky, La Danza de la Realidad, which he has just finished shooting, and is now starting on post-production.
Jodorowsky is the creator of such wonderful and influential cult films as El Topo, The Holy Mountain and Santa Sangre. Even though he has quite a substantial following now, Jodorowsky’s cinema is not one that easily serves the money-making purposes of the movie industry which is part of the reason why this will be his first film in twenty-three years. His motivations are, before anything else, self-expression and the expansion of consciousness, as he says, “I used to think that movies could change spectators mentality. I used to ask from movies what the body asks from LSD … I am talking about an illuminating cinema, a type of cinema in which spectators go to the movie theater and, when they come out, they have changed.” This means a cinema that not only breaks conventions and taboos but also challenges the audience’s understanding of themselves, something which, unfortunately, has a history of scaring producers and financiers away. However, for this new project, Jodorowsky has embraced what a lot of filmmakers are discovering to be a liberation from the restraints of industry and institutional funding, that is, crowdfunding.
Using the various social networking websites available online, Jodorowsky launched an appeal to his followers, offering special edition DVD’s of the film for donations above $100. The fans responded, and from the money raised in this way, plus his own savings, he managed to muster a modest amount that has allowed him to make his film completely uncompromisingly.
Interestingly, Jodorowsky’s supporters are not only composed of film fans but mostly of people interested in his work in other areas, mainly Psychomagic. Psychomagic is the therapeutic practice that emerged from his studies of spirituality, the unconscious and the effects of genealogical history on the psyche, and his conviction that art is a powerful healing tool, both for the creators and the spectators.
La Danza de la Realidad is, in fact, an adaptation of his imaginary autobiography, a book of the same name, which relates memoirs of his early life experiences in his hometown Tocopilla in Chile, and subsequent experiences and discoveries that led to the development of psychomagic. ‘Imaginary’ it is explained ‘is used not in the sense of “fictitious” because all the characters, places, and events are true, but in the sense that the underlying story of his life is a constant effort to expand imagination and broaden its limits, in order to apprehend it in its therapeutic and transforming potential.’
It is great news that someone with such unique vision as Jodorowsky has found a way to get his films made without the restraints of the industry. Hopefully this will be seen as an inspiring example for all filmmakers who aspire to make cinema as art and feel discouraged by the system.

A few weeks ago I received a call from a gentleman at Outside Magazine. He had a few questions for me regarding the OCR team I am a part of. To be honest, I thought it might have gotten fluffed off, or would be part of a very small blurb relegated to the back page. Boy, was I wrong.
Please, go get a copy of the July 2015 issue of the aforementioned Outside Magazine. I know, ok, maybe I’m a little overly excited. Why do you need a copy right? Ok, well maybe at least peak at it? There is a small snippet that I’ve posted here, not the full piece though so I don’t have to deal with any copyright issues.
Either way, I couldn’t be more pumped to see my team featured like this. The community is hands down the best in the world, I do not lie!

Cut the thick layer of fat and the skin from the ham and discard. Place the ham in a roasting pan. For easier cleanup, line the pan with aluminum foil, because the glaze will drip off and burn on the bottom of the pan. Roast the ham for 1 hour.
While the ham is roasting, make the glaze. Combine the orange juice and zest, brown sugar, liqueur, chile paste, and pepper in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer the mixture until is reduced by about half and is as thick as maple syrup, about 35 minutes. Whisk in the espresso or espresso powder. You should have almost 2 cups of glaze. You are going to use half of this glaze to brush the ham while it is roasting and reserve the other half for brushing on the ham after it is sliced.
After the first hour of cooking, brush the ham with the glaze. Roast for another hour, brushing with the glaze every 15 minutes. Since the ham is already cooked, you just need to warm it all the way through. Check for an internal temperature of 130 to 140 degrees using an instant-read thermometer. Remove the ham from the oven when it is nicely browned and warmed through.
To serve: We like to serve this with warm cornbread. For a lovely presentation, slice half the ham and arrange the slices up against the unsliced part on a big platter. Brush the slices with the remaining glaze.
Cook's Note: The glaze can be made a few days ahead and stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator.
To make the cornbread, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish.
Combine the flour, cornmeal, cheese, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and honey. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Add the melted butter and stir into the mixture. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.
Cook's Note: You can make the cornbread and store it in the freezer, covered tightly in plastic wrap, for a few weeks.

The forecast seems to be a broken record. Rain is mentioned daily and the amount varies. A year ago after the spring rains stopped, it never rained again until late fall. The water supply(Big Butternut) was dramatically lower and turf conditions off irrigated areas were barren. Today, the mowers are running daily to keep up and the water supply is adequate for this season. The sun will return and the golf course will be ready for your enjoyment.
The new greens were actually set back by the extended wet weather but for the long run are benefiting greatly. With continued rain, the surface looks good but the nutrients that were applied have leached past the root zone and suddenly the color was off. Thinking it was mower or rolling damage, I quickly reduced those activities. After thinking about this, I soon realized that there was a great need to fertilize those greens again. After an ample helping this week, yesterday they looked great again. The real positive gains with the wet weather is that all the sodding and seeding on those greens helps in the establishment.
There are new seedling emerging from the aerifier holes and the bare areas. With constant watching and reseeding, all these areas should fill in. How soon? Not sure. It all depends upon weather, traffic, and various maintenance activities. Rest assured, the maintenance staff is doing everything it can to get these greens in the same conditions as the other existing ones.

Israeli researchers have discovered a method to rejuvenate the kidneys, which has the potential to eliminate the need for dialysis in the future, Israel’s Sheba Medical Center said on Wednesday.
In a study published in the journal Cell Reports, researchers from the center showed that it is possible to rejuvenate the kidneys and improve their function using the patient’s own stem cells.
Previously, it was found that the adult kidney can constantly renew itself over time through the activity of colonies of cells that function to replace lost and degenerated cells in the kidney.
In the current study, the team developed a new technology that allows the extraction of such healthy kidney cells from diseased kidneys.
These cells are expanded into large numbers within a laboratory environment, and by generation of three-dimensional cultures called `kidney spheres’, they show improved function to generate new kidney tissue and replace lost cells.
The cells are administered into the kidney, allowing them to rebuild it, positively influence neighboring cells and improve the kidney’s function.
Because the newly developed technology relies on the patient’s own cells, it circumvents problems associated with immune rejection.
This treatment, successfully tested on mice, resulted in improved renal function in the treated mice.
The results are expected to be further studied in clinical trials in patients with renal failure. (Xinhua/NAN)

SAN FRANCISCO – Within just two blocks of San Francisco’s Civic Center, “big opera” reigns.
Michael Tilson Thomas, born to opera but almost never seen in opera houses, has been leading the San Francisco Symphony in soignée concert performances of operas in recent years, advertised as “semi-staged.” MTT’s chosen stage director, a young, fast-rising artist from Los Angeles, scoffs at the term. James Darrah, who works with his own production team, keeps it simple when he says a performance is either staged or not.
Regardless of the kind and extent of their staging, Thomas and Darrah have been receiving well-deserved audience and critical acclaim for their collaborations, especially for a superb Peter Grimes in 2014. Expectations were high for Boris Godunov given MTT’s Russian roots, the participation of Ragnar Bohlin’s brilliant San Francisco Symphony Chorus, and the debut engagement of prominent Russian singers as principals, including bass Stanislav Trofimov in the title role.
The orchestra’s preparations even included an exhibit in the Davies lobby – “Times of Trouble: the Intersection of Music and Politics“– which dealt with historical and political aspects of the complex Godunov story.
The opera is based on Aleksandr Pushkin’s biased chronicle of the tsar who ruled first as regent for Ivan the Terrible’s deranged son Fyodor. Then, having supposedly killed Ivan’s other son, Dmitriy, Boris reigned from 1598 to 1605. He was succeeded by a pretender who claimed he was Dmitriy, escaping death. Pushkin and Mussorgsky regarded Boris as guilty on all counts, never mind history’s much kinder verdict.
Adding to interest in the production was MTT’s return to “the original,” or rather to two of them. Even among operas with a tortuous history of versions and revisions, Godunov stands out with a dozen major performance versions and many additional local tweakings. The best known orchestrations are by Rimsky-Korsakov and Shostakovich.
MTT’s solution was a fusion of Mussorgsky’s own two versions, including the Kremlin scene with Boris’ death from the first version in 1869, but omitting its St. Basil scene. To close the work, the production added from the 1872 version the misery-filled Forest of Kromy scene. The conductor was said to have pared the opera down to “just under two hours,” using Mussorgsky’s original 1869 orchestration, whose “angular, daring, fresh harmonic language” particularly appealed to him, even if many others regard it as thick, string-heavy and gloomy.
“Under two hours” turned out to be a three-hour affair, including intermission, which would have been fine for the Ring-experienced audience, but these were not hours well spent. Despite individual bright spots provided by the chorus and wonderful Russian soloists, the whole was less than its parts. Musically, dramatically, emotionally, it was a downer.
Inexplicably, the major expected strengths – from MTT and Darrah – appeared to have failed. The conductor’s slow tempos and lack of drive and affecting pathos belied the excellence of the orchestra. The director’s series of busy, puzzling, attention-diverting scenes included an unintelligible pre-opening pantomime and an extended, brutal torture scene at the end.
Why was it necessary to illustrate what’s in the text and in the music? Does one really have to see the following acted out both by the chorus and the supers?
Torture most frightful,
hanging and beating –
the true believers must suffer
Torture most cruel…
Hanging and beating
Still, the production’s bright spots, persisting under the monotonous blanket of despair and pain, were undeniable, starting with splendid visuals: Emily Anne MacDonald and Cameron Jaye Mock wrapped Davies Symphony Hall’s stage in fabric with spectacular, if occasionally over-busy, video projections and lighting by Adam Larsen and Pablo Santiago.
The opening Coronation Scene featured the Symphony Chorus at its best, and the principal singers shone in the complex political machinations that followed. Trofimov had little to do initially, but as Boris became increasingly the focus of the story, the bass used his beautiful, baritone-ish voice impressively. The singer is well known in Russia and now in Europe, but this was his San Francisco debut, as it was for the other Russians in the production.
Two very different tenors had major roles, neither sounding like the typical “Russian tenor” of high-pitched, narrow voice: Sergei Skorokhodov, as Grigory the pretender, showed solid middle and lower notes, and Yevgeny Akimov as Prince Shuisky amazed with outbursts of a powerful heldentenor sound.
Tenor Stanislav Mostovoy delivered the plaintive lament of the Holy Fool at the end, deprived of his most important scene in other versions, confronting Godunov:
No, Boris –
I cannot pray for you.
“Don’t pray for Herod,”
our Lady ordered me –
no, I must not pray
The soloists went way beyond the “semi” of staging, as Darrah pushed them to excesses such as physical death throes beyond what the music calls for. Merola veteran baritone Aleksey Bogdanov presented a powerful Shchelkalov; basses Maxim Kuzmin-Karavaev’s Pimen and Vyacheslav Pochapsky’s Varlaam were also memorable.
The non-Russian contingent did well, especially baritone Philip Skinner as the crowd-controlling – and abusing –Nikititsch; also mezzo-soprano Eliza Bonet in a trouser role as Fyodor; soprano Jennifer Zetlan as Fyodor’s sister Xenia; mezzo-soprano Silvie Jensen as the nurse; mezzo-soprano Catherine Cook as the innkeeper, and tenor Ben Jones as Missail.
The curtain call at the end filled the stage to the brim with one of the largest groups of performers in Davies Hall history.

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - A day shy of Governor John Bel Edwards’ Phase 1 reopening of the state’s economy, the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) reported several spikes in coronavirus cases.
According to LDH, these increases are due to a surge in new testing. Louisiana has ramped up the number of tests being conducted over the past several weeks.
Dr. Joseph Cantel, assistant health officer at LDH, says right now, Louisiana looks good according to all the important metrics, such as new cases, those who have been hospitalized, and those reporting new symptoms, but the numbers they are seeing right now paint the picture of what was going on in the state two weeks ago.
“If I were to exposed to COVID today, I probably would not develop symptoms for an average four to five days, and then go get tested and then the test takes a couple days to get back, and then it needs to be reported to us,” Cantel said.
He says signs of a “second wave” likely will not be evident until mid to late next week (end of May).
“If we see diagnosed tests going up, but the hospital data stays level, that tells us that we’re probably just doing more testing,” he said, “but if those numbers both go up together, the number of positive cases on tests go up and the number of people in the hospital sick go up, it tells us it really is a spread and we need to consider slowing the reopening.”
With that in mind, doctors are urging residents to keep practicing the measures that have been preached ad nauseam.
“We’re all corona weary,” said Dr. Katherine Williams, president of Louisiana’s State Medical Society. “We’re all tired of being at home. We are tired of the masks, but keep in mind that really preventing going backwards and having to stay at home again is really all in the individuals’ hands. It’s making sure that if you are in public and you are going to be somewhere where you can’t maintain a social distance, wear a mask.”
Dr. Williams says while it may feel like there’s level of protection as the state enters Phase 1 of reopening, there’s still no vaccine, so no one is truly protected.
“The virus is still here,” she said. “We still don’t have a cure and we still don’t have a vaccine, so social distancing is incredibly important.”

In China, coffee is becoming more and more popular, and the coffee culture that comes with it fills every moment of life. Coffee is increasingly associated with modern life, whether at home, in the office or in social situations, with coffeehouses everywhere becoming great places for people to talk, listen to music and have a rest. Statistics show that China’s coffee consumption is rising year by year and promises to become the world’s largest consumer of coffee. Why do people like to drink coffee? Here are 9 reasons why coffee may actually be one of the healthiest beverages on the planet.
- Coffee reduces risk of cancers
The polyphenols in coffee are a powerful antioxidant. Drinking coffee every day has a protective effect against cancer. For example, there are reports that women who drink more than three cups of caffeinated coffee a day have a 21% lower risk of basal cell cancer than those who drink less than one cup a month, and that if women can drink 4-6 cups of coffee a day, the incidence of breast cancer may be reduced by 25% to 70%, even if women have a history of breast cancer. This is because substances in coffee can affect the production of a hormone called estrogen in the body. Some scientists thought that caffeine might inhibit aromatase, which is an enzyme critical for the synthesis of estrogen in the body. But more research is still needed to determine the relationship between drinking coffee and the risk of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer or estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer.
- Coffee protects your liver
In recent years, there has been increasing evidence that coffee reduces the risk of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. Coffee is also rich in polyphenols that protect the liver. Some studies suggest that hepatitis patients may benefit from drinking coffee, which is good for liver cell repair. Coffee may help alcoholics, overweight people, and people with diabetes or iron overload reduce the risk of liver disease, but there is no evidence that coffee and tea reduce people’s risk of fatty liver or chronic hepatitis.
- Coffee helps relieve exercise soreness
Drinking two cups of coffee after exercise can help ease muscle soreness symptoms, a study reports. Drinking coffee can help people relieve muscle pain caused by excessive exercise. Caffeine, while having an effect on pain relief from exercise, tends to work only for people who don’t drink coffee as often.
- Coffee is beneficial to the skin
Coffee can accelerate the metabolism of the skin, accelerate the expulsion of discarded cutin, and reduce the appearance of under-eye circles.
- Coffee prevents depression
Regular coffee drinkers are less irritable, as coffee improves mood. When you are irritable or depressed, a cup of coffee may calm your mood.
- Coffee prevents alcoholism
The chlorogenic acid in coffee prevents alcoholism. Drinking coffee causes the acetaldehyde, which is converted from alcohol, to oxidize rapidly, break down into water and carbon dioxide and be expelled from the body.
- Coffee helps digestion after meals
Drinking coffee after a meal is good for your stomach health. But relatively, if your stomach is empty, drinking coffee may stimulate secretion of gastric juice, which will damage gastric mucosa and then damage the stomach health. People who love to eat meat had better drink a cup of coffee after dinner, because it can help digestion. In addition, the content of soluble dietary fiber in coffee is higher than that of orange juice, and caffeine can stimulate intestinal motility. Therefore, drinking coffee has the effect of relieving constipation.
- Coffee prevents radiation injury
Radiation injury has become a more prominent type of pollution and hazard at present. In particular, radiation from household appliances, such as computers, microwaves, televisions, etc. Radiation exposure, especially for pregnant women, has affected the health of the next generation. Studies have indeed shown that coffee may help to prevent radiation injury.
- Coffee prevents gallstone disease
Some studies have suggested that caffeinated coffee can stimulate gallbladder contraction and reduce people’s risk of developing the most common, more painful gallstone disease.
Even though coffee in moderate amounts is good for you, it can be harmful if you drink too much of it. To make sure to preserve the health benefits, don’t put sugar or anything unhealthy in your coffee! If it tends to affect your sleep, then don’t drink it after 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
There are a variety of chemical ingredients in coffee beans, such as caffeine, tannin, thiamin, xanthine, spermidine, guaiacol, citric acid, chlorogenic acid, acetaldehyde, spermine, etc. Research on the effect of coffee in myoblasts has established that certain coffee compounds may significantly affect gene expression in the cell, and many metabolic and antioxidant genes are among the most affected. But since there are various ingredients in coffee, it requires a lot of work to completely understand how coffee affects all aspects of health.

CBS Wins Viewers Ties with ABC in 18-49 Demo
CBS won overall viewers and tied with ABC in the 18-49 demo. NBC came in third in the 18-49 demo followed by Fox and The CW. Due to all the trick or treating, there weren't as many people watching TV and Fox and CW ran mostly reruns. We got a week off from the Bionic Woman due to a two hour Phenomenon, which judging from ratings and commentary is not very phenomenal. Criminal Minds and Private Practice duked it out at 9pm. While Dirty Sexy Money vs. CSI: NY isn't as much of a contest, Dirty Sexy still looks like a renew.

Stainless steel hoses are widely used in various industrial and commercial applications for conveying fluids, gases, and granules at high temperatures, pressures, and vacuums. These hoses are flexible, durable, corrosion-resistant, and hygienic and can be customized to suit different requirements of size, length, end fittings, and braiding. However, not all stainless-steel hose manufacturers are equal in quality, reliability, innovation, and service. Therefore, choosing the right stainless steel hose manufacturer for your needs is important, based on some key factors that can ensure your satisfaction and success. This blog post will discuss tips on selecting the best stainless steel hose manufacturer for your specific requirements.
Before we dive into the details of choosing the right stainless steel hose manufacturer, let us briefly explain why stainless steel hoses are preferred over other types of hoses in many applications. Stainless steel hoses have several advantages over rubber hoses, PVC hoses, or PTFE hoses, such as:
- High-temperature resistance: Stainless steel hoses can withstand temperatures from -270°C to +700°C, depending on the grade and construction, without melting, cracking, or deforming. This makes them suitable for conveying hot liquids, gases, or steam or for use in furnaces, ovens, or engines.
- High pressure resistance: Stainless steel hoses can handle pressures from vacuum to 350 bar, depending on the diameter and wall thickness, without bursting or leaking. This makes them suitable for hydraulic, pneumatic, or gas applications or uses in reactors, pipelines, or valves.
- Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel hoses are immune to most chemicals, acids, bases, salts, and oxidants thanks to their passive oxide layer that protects them from rusting or corroding. This makes them suitable for handling corrosive or abrasive fluids or uses in marine, offshore, or chemical industries.
- Flexibility: Stainless steel hoses can bend, twist, or stretch without kinking, crushing, or collapsing, thanks to their corrugated design that allows them to absorb vibrations, shocks, or movements. This makes them suitable for applications that require flexibility or mobility, such as robotics, aerospace, or transport.
- Hygiene: Stainless steel hoses are easy to clean, sterilize, or sanitize, thanks to their smooth and non-porous surface that prevents bacteria, mould, or contamination from adhering to or growing. This makes them suitable for food, beverage, or pharmaceutical applications or use in clean rooms, laboratories, or hospitals.
- Customization: Stainless steel hoses can be customized to suit different needs of length, diameter, end fittings, or braiding, thanks to their modular and adaptable design. This makes them suitable for various industries and applications, such as automotive, HVAC, mining, or construction.
Now that we have seen why stainless steel hoses are preferred in many situations let us move on to this blog post’s main topic: choosing the right stainless steel hose manufacturer for your specific needs.

RubyMine provides different ways to run scripts and applications, Rake tasks, Rails generators, and so on. You can run all of these actions using shortcuts, menu commands or a terminal. RubyMine allows you to use a single entry point for various operations - Run anything (Double Ctrl ):
Invoke the Run Anything popup
To invoke the Run anything dialog, do one of the following:
Click the button in the toolbar.
Press Ctrl+Shift+A, type Run anything and press Enter.
In this dialog, you can perform the following actions:
Run/debug an application for the selected run/debug configuration.
Run Ruby/Rails-specific commands (Rails generators, Bundler commands, Rake tasks, etc.).
Type a question mark to see hints for the available commands:
You can also start typing the query to see the available commands and run/debug configurations:
Use the button to configure action groups used for search.
Run/debug an application
To debug an application, hold down the Shift key when running a run/debug configuration (the dialog title will be changed to Debug ):
Run Ruby/Rails-specific commands
Run anything allows you to execute various Ruby- or Rails-specific commands, for instance:
Tests (Minitest, Rspec, Cucumber, an so on)
You can also run Rails and IRB consoles, or change the project SDK using commands dependent on the utilized version manager (RVM, rbenv, etc).
Run anything executes commands in the following way:
First, if offers a list of predefined actions that include available Bundler commands, Rake tasks, Rails generators, etc.:
If the specified command is not found in the predefined actions, Run anything tries to match this command to any default run configuration. Below are few examples:
Running the ruby interpreter for a specific script:
Running the Rspec test:
Deploying an application using Capistrano:
You can see that the icon next to the specified command (, , ) identifies the corresponding run configuration. After running this command, RubyMine adds this configuration to temporary configurations.
If the specified command does not match to any predefined action or a default configuration, RubyMine runs this command in a terminal:
Run commands in the current context
Any command launched using Run anything is run in a context of the current project root directory. If necessary, you can run commands in the current context, which can be determined by a project or folder selected in the project tree, a project file currently opened in the editor and has focus, etc.
To launch a command in the current context, hold down the Alt key before running the command (the dialog title will be changed to Run in Context ):
This functionality can be useful for launching scratch files because they are placed outside of the project’s root folder.
Open recent projects
The Run anything dialog allows you to reopen recent projects. To do this, type the open command, select the required project in the list and press Enter:

Second, Lynne Ramsay, the film’s director, just didn’t show up for work on the first day of production. Now today, when it seemed like the ship would be righted with the hiring of a new director (Gavin O’Connor), Jude Law, the actor that was hired when Fassbender left, also decided to leave the project. Deadline reports Law signed on to work with Ramsay, so after she left, he chose to step down. Someone just needs to take this film out back and put it out of its misery. But who has a gun? Jane!
