This is how Andrew Marr began his programme this morning:
Good morning to you. Events in Paris dominate every single paper today, and I'd like to start this morning by quoting Matthew Parris in The Times. His point is that this will pass, this apparent confrontation between the West and Islamism.
"This is no high noon and none is coming. Our culture and governments are infinitely superior, more competent and more powerful. there is not the remotest chance that fundamentalist Islam will sweep the globe or hobble our free media. We should have more confidence in ourselves than that."
Phew! Well, that's me reassured then. Let's all relax and watch BBC One.
Songs of Praise will be on later. There'll be a bit from Canary Wharf "about a floating church reaching out to the banking community". Sounds like they're already turned into Radio 4's Sunday programme.
Isn't it racist to say our culture is superior to theirs? Haven't people like Geert Wilders and Robert Spencer said the same thing and been vilified for it?ReplyDelete
It's all right if an ex Socialist Worker BBC journo says it! :)Delete
I think it was his (pathetic) riposte to Andrew Neil's comments about humourless, murderous fundamental Islam on This Week.
We heard the same a few years back about the chances of the Caliphate being revived.ReplyDelete
Memo to Marr: It has been re-established.
Further memos to Marr:
The Taliban defeated the might of the USA, UK and some 30 other nations. They are still there in Afghanistan and have just been invited to join the government there.
Our societies are being progressively Islamicised. We now have a parallel education system and a parallel justice system. We have de facto recognition of polygamous marriage. Many people are forced to eat Halal meat, as there is no alternative on offer. There have been many instances of our electoral system being corrupted. In the UK we have a de facto blasphemy law preventing any lampooning of Islam.
Over 22 minutes of Marr helping Miliband clarify his political message. Unbelievably leading questions, several obvious launch pads. Just the tiniest hard time about Labour possibly forming a coalition government, but that was about it. Would you like to attack the Tories on this issue? How about this one? Anything you'd like to criticize about this Tory policy?ReplyDelete
If this were a basketball game, Marr would be leading the league in assists by a mile.

Gelder has excelled as a public servant
I am writing to support the re-election of Kitsap County Commissioner Rob Gelder.
I have known Rob Gelder for nearly 15 years. I have watched Rob in leadership positions in organizations in the community. Two things that are hallmarks of his leadership — his tireless commitment to the community he serves and his ability to build partnerships to achieve goals.
Connecting with people in his district has been a fundamental part of his work. His “Walk and Talk” sessions throughout his district allowed him to meet community members in their neighborhoods and discuss plans and issues. What a great way to connect to people!
Rob has formed and supported community partnerships that have resulted in over 4000 acres being added to public open space through the Kitsap Forest and Bay Campaign. Rob has worked in partnership with Kingston businesses and residents to arrive at a long term solution to the ferry traffic gridlock that has plagued downtown Kingston. Rob has led a group of local and state leaders to improve safety and congestion along the 305 corridor between Poulsbo and Winslow.
Rob knows how to build partnerships and relationships at all levels of the community and government to get things accomplished. That is the definition of an excellent public servant! I am proud that he represents us on the Kitsap County Commission. Please join me in re-electing Rob Gelder.
Mary Bryant, Hansville

Speakers at C2MTL came together in a curated collision of leaders from the tech, business, design and entertainment industries, ranging from Zappos’ innovative CEO Tony Hsieh to film director James Cameron. The “C2” stands for commerce and creativity, representing how today’s most successful companies are integrating more right-brain thinking into their overall business strategy. This year, the event was held in Arsenal, a 19th-century shipbuilding factory turned contemporary art museum located in Griffintown, Montreal’s trendiest section.
Arsenal’s layout included a central bar in the main Hangar area, a large retail section selling local Quebecois fashions and an interactive games area with a life-size Lite Brite. Outside in the Plaza Solotech bordering Lachine Canal, Fast Company magazine and other brands sponsored communal seating areas for meals and impromptu networking. C2MTL incorporated multiple “innovation zones” where groups could break out to brainstorm in unique environments.
Creative and business professionals were lining up to sit blindfolded inside a 10×10 pit filled with plastic balls. The purpose of this experiment was to group-think questions inside a sensory-limited foreign environment to see if the shift in user experience would result in a shift in conceptual thinking. One of the questions was supplied by Abigail Posner, head of strategic planning at Google. She asked: “How might we create, with only a few resources, a YouTube channel about the interplay of humanity and technology?”
C2MTL was created by the Sid Lee creative agency in cooperation with Tourisme Montreal and Montreal-based Cirque du Soleil to showcase Montreal as a creativity incubator for next-generation conferences. A primary reason behind the success of the event is its advanced meeting design, or what C2MTL calls a “creative ecosystem.” By creating all of these different innovation zones and ancillary pop-up programming, C2MTL orchestrated constant movement among attendees leading to a kind of “accelerated serendipity,” as Hsieh described it.
“There’s one trait among all successful creative people and entrepreneurs that’s very common—they’re very often ADD,” said Will Travis, CEO of Sid Lee’s New York headquarters. “We travel all over the world going to different conferences…and it’s often like sitting in a movie theater for eight hours. What we wanted to do is allow an escape, but not an escape where you’re suddenly departing the environment, so we created a lot of secondary pockets of stimulation among all of these different innovators.”
Next year’s confirmed speakers at C2MTL include Chelsea Clinton and Kevin Spacey. C2MTL is also expanding internationally to Madrid and Shanghai in 2015, as well to as an additional city yet to be named.
“The main focus this year is transformation and helping people get into the mindset where they’re comfortable to transform their agenda,” said Travis. “So, how are they not going to just stay static? How are they going to transform their businesses and their lives going forward? C2 is designed to make you change your perception about what you think you know.”
We stayed at the new 169-room ALT Hotel Griffintown Montreal.

THIENSVILLE, Wis. (WCCO) — A 6-foot-6, 350 pound man from Wisconsin is protesting after being cut off from a local restaurant’s all-you-can-eat fish fry, according to WTMJ-TV.
According to the report, Bill Wisth said the bottomless fish fry at Chuck’s Place in Thiensville is false advertising. He said he ate a dozen pieces of fish last Friday but then the waitress refused to bring more.
Wisth was sent away from the establishment with another eight pieces of fish. He said he was so upset, he decided to call the local police.
Wisth came back two days later with a picket sign accusing the restaurant of poor business practices. He said he plans to protest every Sunday until the restaurant rethinks its decision.
A local waitress at Chuck’s told a WTMJ-TV reporter that Wisth has a running tab at the restaurant, which he still hasn’t paid off.

After releasing the lyrical ‘God Said I’m the Nicest (interlude)’ and the soulful ‘Lake Full of Regrets’, Devine Carama finally drops his long awaited full length album, Kingtucky. The project is also released with an accopying viceo titled ‘Jewels In My Crown,’ which features a medley of new songs off the album.
With the bulk of production done by Philly producer Obvious, the 25 track project features appearances from Sheisty Khrist, Allen Poe, River Greene and more. Streaming and digital purchases are available via Bandcamp including an option to purchase on of the 50 limited addition physical copies. Have a listen to the full project and see what Carama has to say about the release below.
“My soul purpose on this album was to push my pen to it’s limit. I just really wanted to prove myself as a dope MC. It was originally suppose to be a double album but we trimmed a few cuts and felt it flowed better as a single disc. The production has a late 80’s and early 90’s feel to it and content is unapologetically lyrical. I think it’s vintage enough that old school hip hop heads will love it but fresh enough that some newer fans might dig it.” – Devine Carama

Brian Austin Green has sparked speculation he's set to make Megan Fox a married woman after telling fans he is engaged.
The on-again-off-again couple first announced their engagement in 2006 but the "Transformers" beauty confirmed in June that the romance was officially over.

Just three months later, the stars appeared to have revived their relationship after they were photographed kissing during an outing in Canada.
Now, the former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star has revealed he plans to settle down with Fox, according to a message he posted to fans on Twitter.com.
When asked by a user if he was married with kids, Green wrote, "(I'm) engaged and have a son from my previous relationship."
Earlier this month, Fox was said to have bought a mansion in Los Angeles, just weeks after Green put his Hollywood Hills pad on the market.

To finish off our Saturday food adventures, we were actually undecided on what to eat. By the time the dinner hour approached us (~7:30pm), we were actually feeling a bit of a food hangover from breakfast and lunch, so it became hard to think of eating again. What had happened to us? We started out perky and anxious to get out there and eat our hearts out, but it seemed that food had almost TKO’ed us. Were we getting old? Did we just need to man up? Or was it that our bellies simply weren’t used to having so much food all at once? We assumed that since we’d been practicing a much more healthier lifestyle for the past several months, the sudden onslaught of deliciously rich food was weighing heavily on us.
The original plan was to head to La Taquiera, which I’d read rave reviews about. We both love Mexican food, but I found out that it closes at 8:00pm and by the time we got ourselves ready and out the door, we wouldn’t make it. So, what to do? We’d actually been doing a lot of walking and were feeling quite tuckered out, so I went on the interwebz to find a place nearby. We’d walked by Ramen Jinya (which was literally around the corner from our hotel) in the morning, so we thought we’d give it a try.
I did some quick research on Jinya and discovered that it’s relatively new to the Vancouver ramen scene. The decor is quite modern and contemporary. Most of the tables were taken (except for a two-seater which seemed awkwardly placed near the door), so we opted to sit at the communal bar area.
The menu itself is quite simple and straightforward. Their ramen offerings are organised by broth-type: pork, chicken, or vegetable. We were intrigued by the Tonkotsu Black Ramen (pork broth, pork belly char-siu, bamboo shoots, green onions, fried onions, flavoured boiled egg, seaweed, black garlic oil), so we both got ourselves a bowl.
I was expecting the black garlic oil to have more of a prominent garlic flavour, but it was actually very subtle and earthy. We’re actually not used to the milkier pork broth (which I think is the more traditional ramen broth), so we were unprepared for how rich it was – not that it wasn’t tasty, though. I had asked for my noodles to be firm and they came just the way I like it – a little bit on the “al dente” side. For some reason, Mark’s noodles looked totally different – not the usual, curly ramen noodles, but a flatter, yellowy egg-based noodle. Seemed a bit odd (he liked my noodles better). The portion size was just right for me. I find that noodle bowls in Calgary are way too large for my appetite, so it was nice to have a relatively normal-sized bowl.
I think we would’ve enjoyed it more had we been feeling a lot less worn down from stuffing ourselves so much earlier in the day. By the time we finished, we were both exhausted and feeling heavy. It’s a shame that this is the feeling associated with this place. Honestly, the ramen was tasty, but I think our hearts just weren’t in it. :(

The idea that side table should be small, lightweight and unobtrusive item led to creation of Ox - compact, geometrized and artistically articulated object.
The side table is made primarily of plywood. Aesthetics of this table, in first place, derives from its construction - the relationship between its constructive elements, who are not meant to be just pretty, but primarily constructive and functional. The table top is made out of laser cut, colored veneer sheets, and then assembled together in order to create geometrically stylized characters.

Our new game changer: Analyse properties of your nonionic surfactants with our m:explore.eis measurement system – this technology can assess properties of any detergent! Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (= eis), you can distinguish the tenside components real-time and in-line. With our solution, all types of (polar) surfactants can be measured and quantified in real time with only one measurement. No direct contact is required and therefore there is no risk of contamination.
Sustainable use of surfactants
Seamless integration into existing production
Rapid, autonomous measurements (optional)
Intuitive and user friendly
Robust and compact design
Contact free and corrosion-resistant
In the past decades, surfactants have become a basis for a wide range of industries and even for daily life. Some industries focus exclusively on the production and development of surfactant combinations that are suitable for very specific applications. For customers, measuring specific surfactant parameters is generally a difficult task, as each surfactant solution is unique. Some types of detergents are generally difficult to measure. So try our m:explore.eis measurement system to change this! Contact Form
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy suits any kind of process in which the measurement of surfactants, detergents, or any other kind of cleansing agents is required. Along with ultra – fast measurements, post processing allows for calculating surfactant spread, concentrations, HLB, or any other value derivable from the physical properties of the liquid under test.
How m:explore.eis works?
The newly developed device series m:explore.eis represents a complete system for the compact measurement of any liquid by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The measuring box can be used as a bypass to transport liquids into the internal measuring cell by an integrated peristaltic pump. For more details please click here. Ilmsens GmbH also provide other solutions in near-field sensing.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions Impedance Spectroscopy
|What is impedance spectroscopy?
Impedance spectroscopy (also dielectric spectroscopy or electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) is a non-destructive, fast and low-cost measuring method that can record electrical material parameters, such as impedance, conductivity and permittivity. These parameters are frequency-dependent and vary based on the frequency of the alternating electric fields they are measured with.
Ultra-wideband impedance spectroscopy allows for insight into the examined materials that would otherwise not be obvious at first glance. This can be interesting for users that would like to have information that goes beyond conventional sensors. Various process parameters are reflected in electrically-measured quantities and can be captured with UWB technology.
In some cases, the direct measurement of one parameter is either not possible or cannot provide the required information. In these scenarios, the information can be derived through post-processing or a combination of the measured data.
|How does impedance spectroscopy work?
An electromagnetic (EM) wave is emitted from the applicator into a substance.
The frequency-dependent material parameter permittivity εr describes the transmissibility of an EM wave through a substance and is measured over a broad frequency
range with a single measurement. This allows for a differentiation between very similar substances that is not possible with a single narrowband measurement.
|What does the Ilmsens impedance spectroscopy consist of?
At Ilmsens, the impedance spectroscopy consists of the following three parts:
|How accurate are the results from the Ilmsens ultra-wideband impedance spectroscopy?
In the impedance spectroscopy, the accuracy of results depends on the following:
If components of a liquid show similar permittivity values, only larger concentration changes become detectable.
In order to illustrate which materials are similar in their electric properties, the following table displays several exemplary materials and their permittivity values based on the indicated sources.
In contrast to some sources, it should be noted that permittivity values are not constant, but rather temperature and frequency dependent. Therefore, the permittivity values in the table can only provide a first indication.
Example: Water (εr = 80) and oil (εr = ca. 3) can be differentiated very well. Even small concentrations can be easily detected.
|What are possible applications for impedance spectroscopy?
Impedance spectroscopy helps to detect the composition of mixtures of substances, such as:
|What are the advantages of Ilmsens ultra-wideband technology compared to conventional impedance spectroscopy?
The main advantage is the ability to differentiate between components of a complex substance: Through ultra wideband signal measurements, the typical behaviour is found for a given substance component. Just as a fingerprint can be assigned to a specific human being, a certain substance component can also be assigned to an impedance spectrum. The wider the frequency interval (impedance spectrum) over which the measurements are carried out, the more clearly the assignment succeeds.
Two substances might be similar in a limited frequency range, but the wider the measured frequency range, the more likely it is to find differences in a specific frequency range.

26 charred to death in China as tour bus catches fire
A tour bus with 56 people on board caught fire in China’s central Hunan province, killing 26 people and injuring 28 others, officials said Saturday.
The accident occurred on Friday when the 59-seater bus from the neighbouring Henan province suddenly caught fire on a highway in Hanshou county in Changde city.
The 28 injured were rushed to three local hospitals.
Five of the injured are in a critical condition, state-run Xinhua news agency quoted local officials as saying.
The bus had 53 passengers, two drivers and a tour guide at the time of the incident.
The two drivers were detained and an investigation into the cause of the accident was underway.
The incident came a day after 64 people lost their lives while 640 were injured in a powerful explosion at a chemical plant in eastern China.
The blast occurred on Thursday following a fire in a fertilizer factory in a chemical industrial park in Yancheng, Jiangsu province, according to the government of Xiangshui county.

|The camp at Amesbury called Vespasian's Camp
The camp near Amesbury, between Stonehenge and the town, upon elevated ground, was, according to Stukeley, commonly called Vespasian's, and he endorses the name. It is locally known as "the ramparts". Sir R. Hoare considers that this was originally the stronghold of those numerous Britons who inhabited the plains around Stonehenge, an asylum in times of danger, for their wives, children, and cattle; and that like other camps of the same kind, it was occupied, as occasion or necessity required, by Romans, Saxons, and Danes.
"It occupies the apex of a hill, surrounded on two sides, east and south, by the river Avon, and comprehends within its area 39 acres. It extends in length from south to north, and terminates in a narrow rounded angle at the latter point. It was surrounded by a single vallum, which has been much mutilated on the east side in forming the pleasure grounds of Amesbury Park. The ramparts on the western side towards Stonehenge, are very bold and perfect. It appears to have had two entrances, north and south ; the former still remains perfect and undoubted. The area is planted and fancifully disposed in avenues, walks, &c., near the principal one of which, and on the highest ground, is the appearance of a barrow, but much disfigured in its form.'' The camp is divided by the high road which passes Stonehenge. In Stukeley's Common-Place Book, is the following mention of it: ''The walls, Vespasian's camp, as believ'd. The people of Amesbury say the area of it is 40 acres, single trench, one graff towards Stonehenge." In his " Stonehenge described," he describes the camp as "an oblong square, nicely placed upon a flexure of the river, which closes one side and one end of it. There is an old barrow inclos'd in it, which doubtless was one of those belonging to this plain, and to the temple of Stonehenge, before this camp was made"

The Long Start to the Journey : How to Support a Thru-Hiker’s Incredible Project
This past February, Chris Gallaway (Frost), set out to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail and capture his hike on video. Although I never caught up to him on the trail, I was always inspired by the videos and pictures he posted along the way. Chris is now working on creating a movie about the AT called The Long Start to the Journey. Here is a video and excerpt from his kickstarter page…
The Long Start to the Journey is a documentary film about the Appalachian Trail. The story follows filmmaker Chris Gallaway on his personal attempt to thru-hike the AT in 2013 and to learn what the trail means to individuals he meets along the way. Chris (or “Frost” as he comes to be known on the trail) meets hikers young and old with wildly disparate backgrounds, “trail angels” who provide food and support, and an assortment of wildlife that make the journey much more exciting. This is a personal story of struggle and perseverance and of how the natural world can teach us and enrich our lives. The film captures the importance of the trail by looking back to its history and also at its current influence on culture in America. “The Long Start to the Journey” is a film for those who love the outdoors and who find insight, meaning, and enjoyment in the time they spend in wild places.
Be sure to watch the video and check out Chris’ other videos at www.theATmovie.com
For Chris to complete this project, he needs your help! If you want to see incredible footage of the trail or simply just want to help out another hiker, please donate to Chris’ kickstarter campaign.

A film about the fight for the Guanabara Bay of Rio de Janeiro and the right to be a fisherman with dignity. The Guanabara Bay is until today one of the most polluted bays in the world: millions of liters of untreated sewage, more than a thousand tons of solid waste a day, highly polluting slurry from the various legal and ilegal waste dumps and the sewage from the powerful oil industry. The 2016 Olympic Games did not change this scandalous situation that destroys the existence of the fishermen of the bay: "The only thing that I did not lose was my dignity," says fisherman GeraldÃ£o, 62 years old.

Do You Dare Speak Up in Your Company?
It takes psychological safety for people show up at their best.
Posted August 31, 2020 | Reviewed by Lybi Ma
There’s a growing body of research suggesting that psychological safety is a critical factor in the performance of organizations. Prof. Amy Edmundson in her book The Fearless Organization describes psychological safety as “a climate in which people are comfortable expressing and being themselves.” She also clarifies that psychological safety is not about being nice. Rather it is about people feeling safe enough to take interpersonal risks and to speak up candidly.
And psychological safety research is becoming quite clear. Teams and organizations with a higher degree of such safety perform better over time. The two-year research study conducted by Google on team effectiveness captures the essence of this growing body of knowledge well. Teams and organizations with a high degree of psychological safety learn and perform more effectively because people share concerns openly, speak truth to power, and ensure everyone contributes fully.
Put simply, when this sense of safety or boldness to take interpersonal risks exists, more minds can come together fully to solve problems and create effective solutions.
Changing the culture of an organization to create psychological safety can be very difficult, however. It is never as easy as asking people to speak up – even if that is part of the answer. Organizational culture is a complex phenomenon that often defies even the strongest intentions of people in leadership positions.
Leaders can create psychological safety in their organization at three levels (from least difficult to most difficult).
Environmental Level. The main actions leaders can take at this level include communications efforts to convey the why, what, and how for the organization; role-modeling desired behaviors; celebrating or reinforcing desired behaviors; and creating initiatives in the organization that build skills for people to handle their daily challenges. Leaders can lower the overall level of fear in an organization, in particular, by creating a meaningful narrative in which speaking up is a necessary and celebrated value, intentionally and consistently role-modeling candor and openness themselves, and ensuring people in the organization who are speaking up or being transparent about their mistakes are recognized and celebrated.
Relationship Level. While it is important to have broader environmental conditions established for psychological safety, it is also critical that smaller working groups build interpersonal trust and learn how to speak up with each other in a constructive way. In particular, the skills to have effective difficult conversations are especially important.
By definition, a difficult conversation is one that will likely spark fear (most people experience a degree of fear when faced with difficulty). In their book Difficult Conversations, Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton, and Sheila Heen describe how people often think they are having a conversation about the “facts” of what happened in a given situation, but unskillfully miss or stumble on the emotional or identity trigger components of a conversation.
Oftentimes in organizations, these difficult conversations are either not had at all, or they are had but in a poor or ineffective way. The way through this isn’t to simply encourage people to speak up. The answer is to help people build the skills to speak up in ways that are candid yet also enhance trust. This is not a common skill taught in school.
Individual Level. Organizations will only shift their culture when a critical mass of individuals shift their own thinking and doing. This is where culture change becomes difficult, but also essential and powerful.
To create enduring psychological safety in an organization, individuals need to build a new relationship with their fears, worries, doubts, and insecurities. Fear-based defensive patterns are part of the human condition – and each of our life experiences and predispositions impacts the development of these patterns. We all have our unique comfort zones that determine how and when we experience fear and how we respond to those fears.
Consider one example of a leader who achieved promotions throughout his career by having the “right” answers to tough problems. This pattern, while allowing him to be promoted for most of his career also contributed to an environment in his organization of low psychological safety. People in the organization were afraid to speak up because they were typically “shot down” and “corrected” by the leader. He had the answers.
For this leader, creating psychological safety was much more difficult than simply learning how to mouth the words: “What do you think?” He had to first become aware of his deep-seated need to be right and fear of rejection if he were to be “wrong”. Once he shifted his core belief about his own value and worth and acknowledged his needs and fears, he could then consistently and authentically demonstrate curiosity about others’ input. A similar learning journey is required for individuals across an organization – whether they need to listen better, speak up more effectively, or both.
Creating psychological safety in organizations is essential, but difficult. The organizations that successfully create psychological safety are the ones that won’t over-simplify the issue but embrace its full complexity. This starts by creating environmental conditions to make it easier for people to take interpersonal risks at work. But this also requires a deep focus on skills of difficult conversations and trust-building as well as helping individuals face their own fears with curiosity and openness. Realizing our individual and collective potential at work depends on it.

While it wasn’t the ‘Big One’, activity near the Revere-Dellwood Fault at the northern end of the Cascadia Subduction Zone is a reminder to Canadians to be prepared for shaking.

California Events Aren’t the Only Major Earthquakes on the West Coast
Though it was felt by far fewer people than the 4th (and 5th) of July earthquakes in California and caused no damage, another quake rattled the west coast of North America this week. A magnitude 6.3 earthquake occurred offshore British Columbia at 9:30pm (local time) on the evening of July 3rd, 2019, roughly 13 hours earlier and 2000 km northwest of the California event — and 2 days late for Canada Day celebrations.
Canada Day celebrations in British Columbia (captured by @liveonthescc) ended less than 48 hours before the M=6.3 earthquake ruptured off the coast of Bella Bella, BC.
A Seismically Active Region Near the Cascadia Subduction Zone
It was a strike slip event at the northern edge of the Explorer Plate, which marks the farthest north extent of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The epicenter is between northern Vancouver Island and the Haida Gwaii archipelago, with the latter being the site of the two largest recorded earthquakes in Canadian history: the 1949 M=8.1 Queen Charlotte earthquake and the 2012 M=7.8 Haida Gwaii event. Two other large earthquakes from this region ruptured even closer to Wednesday night’s quake: a 1929 M=7.0 earthquake 35 km away, and a 1970 M=7.4 earthquake that was 60 km from Wednesday’s epicenter. Thus, it’s a potent seismic zone for western Canada, aside from the Cascadia Megathrust.
The M=6.3 earthquake from July 2019 is shown as a green star, plotted against regional seismicity from the Global CMT catalog. Relevant historical seismicity includes the 1929 M=7.0 and 1970 M=7.4 events shown as blue stars, and the 1949 M=8.1 Queen Charlotte and 2012 M=7.8 Haida Gwaii earthquakes shown as purple lines.
Three Back-To-Back Aftershocks on Friday Morning
Although the northern earthquake was underwater, its strike-slip mechanism, wherein the sides of the fault move horizontally relative to one another, means that a tsunami warning was not generated. The event was felt in the interior of British Columbia and possibly as much as 1100 km away in Oregon according to USGS ‘Did You Feel It?’ reports. Despite a scarcity of large early aftershocks, the region experienced three events of magnitude 4.7, 5.6, and 4.6 within 40 km of the mainshock between 5:51am and 6:02am (local) on the 5th of July. All events have been in the area of the Revere-Dellwood Fault, not the Cascadia subduction interface, and have a strike-slip mechanism. Thus, they are not on the fault capable of producing the ‘Big One’ for British Columbia.
A map showing the USGS expected shaking intensity for this event off the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. Weak shaking was reported in the closest major city, Vancouver. Although reported initially as a magnitude 5.8 and then a 6.2 event, it has since been upgraded to M=6.3. This image was posted by @PreparednessBC.
With a M=6.3 earthquake in B.C. and a M=6.4 earthquake in California in under 24 hours, there is a natural tendency to wonder if they are linked. In this case, the distance and time between the events is too large to support the idea. Although both of these events ruptured faults which were far from major urban centers, hopefully the attention paid to these earthquakes by news and social media will encourage individuals to take preparatory actions.
This waveform, posted by Natural Resources Canada seismologist John Cassidy (@earthquakeguy) and recorded by a seismometer in Victoria, BC, Canada shows the offshore British Columbia event (reported as M=5.8 here initially) and subsequently the larger M=6.4 California earthquake. The wave seem smaller here for the California event only because it is significantly farther away.

IFA president Tim Cullinan has called for Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue to keep farm viability at the centre of CAP negotiations, while also voicing his discontent with the positions of the European Parliament and European Commission.
Cullinan warned of the effects of proposed eco schemes, convergence and mandatory redistribution to family farms.
“Under the current proposals, a cohort of family farms in Ireland will suffer a triple whammy due to so-called eco schemes, convergence and mandatory redistribution proposals,” stated Cullinan.
“Many of these are our most productive farmers. Our grass-based system is the most carbon-efficient in the world, yet the Commission and the Parliament are going to destroy them,” he continued.
The IFA has said it believes the adjournment of CAP talks to have been the best option for Irish farmers, given the proposals on the table.
“The Minister has correctly identified the danger of making more farmers unviable,” the IFA president said.
“The Minister for Agriculture was right to hold the line. The real problem here is that the EU is trying to achieve increased environmental ambition, but without increased funding.
“The focus between now and the resumption of the talks next month should be on securing the maximum flexibility that will deliver the best deal for Irish farmers,” he said.

Grażyna Gajewska, Eroticism of More- and Other-than-Human Bodies
Palgrave Macmillan, Cham 2020
Z opisu wydawcy:
Focusing on non-human actors, Grażyna Gajewska expands the discussion of eroticism in contemporary culture by bringing in material culture, object studies, and “the anthropology of things.” She sets out from the assumption that things (such as, for instance, attire, underwear, shoes, or jewelry) play an important role in arousing erotic imagination—they are genuine participants in the process, not mere signifiers of eroticism. Their use does not denote only undeniable facts of everyday life associated with functionality, the pragmatic or aesthetic aspect, but also contribute to the shaping of human emotions, fantasies and phantasms. In her study, Gajewska brings eroticism in contemporary culture to light through applying gender studies to new contexts—animals, robots, virtual worlds—even as she explores a new methodology, the anthropology of things.

Full text not available from this repository.
Noise originating from flow over the airframe of large commercial aircraft has gained importance due to the success in high bypass engine noise reduction. Among other sources of airframe noise the edges of lifting surfaces - landing flaps in particular - constitute potential source areas as a result of strong vortices being formed and shed from such side-edges. Aiming at a basic understanding of the related noise generating mechanisms extensive measurements were performed to determine the vortex steady and unsteady aerodynamic characteristics and their correlation with the ensuing farfield noise signatures. Velocity field measurements were performed to localize the flap side-edge vortex, while acoustic farfield data were determined both by means of an acoustic mirror and employing the microphone-array technique, based on the algorithm of acoustic nearfield holography to in addition calculate the acoustic energy flow in the very acoustic near field (the source area). This data was used to establish the correlation between the local unsteady aerodynamics and the radiated acoustic energy and thus describe the relevant noise source mechanism. As one measure to alter the vortex/flap surface interaction process, the effects on both vortex characteristics and radiated side-edge noise was investigated by injection of air through the side-edge plane. Side-edge blowing tends to destabilize the vortex flow. These experiments were performed on a generic wing-flap configuration in the Aeroacoustic Windtunnel Braunschweig.

A nine-year-old child born with HIV has become the third global reported case in which a child born with HIV was able to have their condition controlled without the use of drugs, BBC reports.
According to BBC, the child lives in South Africa, though their identity is being protected. The child contracted HIV from their mother at birth in 2007, and was given a burst of treatment shortly after being born. The child was part of a study of a group of 143 infants who received antiretroviral therapy early on. As Time reports, the child was given 40 weeks of treatment, after which researchers stopped the therapy and monitored their condition.
Since then, they have gone eight-and-a-half years without any symptoms or signs of active virus, according to findings presented at the 9th IAS Conference on HIV Science in Paris.
Of course, this is an extremely rare case and, as BBC notes, while there is no active virus in the child’s body, the virus has still been detected in their immune cells, and they may still need drug treatment later on.
“Further study is needed to learn how to induce long-term HIV remission in infected babies,” Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said during the conference. “However, this new case strengthens our hope that by treating HIV-infected children for a brief period beginning in infancy, we may be able to spare them the burden of lifelong therapy and the health consequences of long-term immune activation typically associated with HIV disease.”
The study’s authors also believe that factors other than early treatment could have contributed to the child’s remission, and plan to keep studying their immune system.

It appears being an authorised reseller won’t stop Lazada from offering significant discounts on Apple products. The MacBook Air deal we wrote about last month is back, both for the 128GB and 256GB options.
Long considered the mobile warrior’s laptop of choice, the MacBook Air 13 remains a favourite despite plenty of competition in the Windows camp. Its hardware may be dated, but the MacBook Air is renowned for its durability and battery life.
Today, the MacBook Air 13 is back at their lowest prices we’ve seen Lazada offer. The 256GB MacBook Air 13 matches the RM4,099 price from 11/11, but the 128GB is now cheaper, priced at RM3,399 – RM100 less than the 11/11 deal.

Here’s a little info from Jennifer:
“I am a SAHM with two children. My son is almost seven and my daughter is three and feisty as ever! They keep me pretty busy. I am married for over 11 years to a wonderful man who supports my hobby although not the spending part as much. Scrapbooking is my passion and has been my main hobby for about 3.5 years now. I enjoy creating pages and documenting memories for my family. I also love reading, watching reality TV and shows like Lost, Prison Break, and Law and Order. I also enjoy the beach, cozy movie nights with my hubby, and snuggling with my kids.”

Students and Student Activities (1908-1934)1.5 Linear Ft. Contents List
Correspondence, reports, news clippings, programs and statistics arranged in alphabetical files according to student, student activity or organization. Order was imposed in this series where original order was either inconsistent or nonexistent. Photographs, brochures, programs, Springstreet Republican parody, and duplicate reports were transferred to the Archives. Warnings to students and other confidential material were removed pending final disposition.
This series provides an interesting view of student life during Garfield's tenure. Evident is Garfield's accessibility to parents and students and his method in addressing their concerns. President Garfield maintained contact with many of the student organizations. The Commons Club, Liberal Club and Student Council were all established with his support.Among the many student issues that Garfield faced were student drinking, fraternity problems, automobiles on campus, financial aid, students in war service and student government. Garfield also responded to several noteworthy controversies. The abolishment of the Cane Contest in 1914 received some protest, but most of the correspondents offered their support. The Williams Record (Springstreet Republican) parody issue in 1922 was criticized for printing an "indecent" cartoon. When members of the sophomore class kidnapped freshmen class officers, preceding the annual tug of war contest in 1923, Garfield justified the students' suspension. Garfield was criticized for his handling of the Ralph Wright controversy in 1924. Wright, an African-American student, had been denied access to the Commons Club. An Old Gold cigarette advertisement, that supposedly pictured Williams students, and the William Z. Foster lecture on Communism in 1932 also drew comments from alumni and concerned friends of the college.

Next week’s regional derbies have been dealt a body blow with Wales’ biggest home-based stars to miss the games because of a clash with Rob Howley’s autumn international training camp.
Cardiff Blues take on the Scarlets at the Arms Park on Friday October 28, with the Ospreys entertaining the Dragons at the Liberty Stadium the following day.
They should be two of the most eagerly awaited games of the season, with derbies always creating great interest and drawing big crowds.
But they are set to be devalued with the Welsh leading lights absent from the games amid what appears to be a scheduling calamity.
That’s because they will be otherwise engaged in Wales’ 13-day training camp ahead of the opening autumn international against Australia on November 5.
Head coach Rob Howley will announce his squad for the four November Tests at lunchtime today and it’s likely that virtually no members of that party will be released to the regions for next week’s derbies.
Wales place great store in their training camps and if players were allowed to go back to their teams they would only be with the national coaches for a couple of days next week.
The situation is compounded by the fact that English-based stars won’t be available for the full camp or the out-of-window Australia match as they will be with their clubs.
That means Wales will be down on numbers anyway, so, realistically, they won’t want to release any more men back to the regions.
It’s a long-established policy that the Welsh management have access to home-based players for 13 days before the opening game of an international campaign.
So it begs the question why on earth key derby matches were scheduled for bang in the middle of that camp?
The date of the Australia game has been known for the best part of a year and the training get-together is a standard arrangement.
Guinness Pro12 have been looking to introduce more event weekends, featuring derby games, this season and next week’s Welsh double header fits into that policy.
One can only imagine that the clash with the training camp was not picked up on when the fixtures were arranged and sent out in draft form.
The situation is complicated by the fact that all WRU National Dual Contract players are supposed to be released to the regions for derby matches.
That would cover the likes of Sam Warburton, Alun Wyn Jones, Jonathan Davies, Rhys Webb, Dan Biggar, Samson Lee and Hallam Amos.
It’s the understood the regions will not be looking to try and enforce that regulation, but they are likely to seek discussions with Wales over the possible release of other squad players for the derbies.
A spokesman for the Pro 12 said: “Organising a schedule across the Guinness PRO12 season that navigates the complexities of coping with European club and international windows and venue availability is a demanding task.
“Dialogue with our clubs and unions is constantly taking place in an effort to satisfy the needs of all parties, now and in the future.
“The concept of the Big Weekends is to place the focus on our rivalries old and new and it is the passion that our supporters have for their clubs, regions and provinces that is the primary driver for the interest in these fixtures.
“The Guinness PRO12 produces the most home-grown international players of any domestic tournament in the northern hemisphere and on any given weekend fans will get to see current and/or future stars of the Test game. “This season the Championship is setting new try-scoring records while attendances and TV viewers have increased across the board and we are confident that we will see that trend continue.”
BIGGEST NAMES LIKELY TO MISS THE DERBIES

Stomach (Gastric) Cancer Screening (PDQ®): Screening - Health Professional Information [NCI]
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER
Stomach (Gastric) Cancer Screening
Purpose of This PDQ Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary for health professionals provides comprehensive, peer-reviewed, evidence-based information about gastric cancer screening. This summary is reviewed regularly and updated as necessary by the PDQ Screening and Prevention Editorial Board.
Information about the following is included in this summary:
- Gastric cancer incidence and mortality statistics and information about gastric cancer risk factors.
- Gastric cancer screening modalities.
- Benefits and harms of gastric cancer screening.
This summary is intended as a resource to inform clinicians and other health professionals about currently available gastric cancer screening modalities. The PDQ Screening and Prevention Editorial Board uses a formal evidence ranking system in reporting the evidence of benefit and potential harms associated with each screening modality. It does not provide formal guidelines or recommendations for making health care decisions. Information in this summary should not be used as a basis for reimbursement determinations.
This summary is also available in a patient version, which is written in less technical language.
Summary of Evidence
Note: Separate PDQ summaries on Stomach (Gastric) Cancer Prevention, Gastric Cancer Treatment, and Levels of Evidence for Cancer Screening and Prevention Studies are also available.
Based on fair evidence, screening would not result in a decrease in mortality from gastric cancer in the U.S. population.
Description of the Evidence
- STUDY DESIGN: Evidence obtained from case-control studies.
- INTERNAL VALIDITY: Fair.
- CONSISTENCY: Multiple studies, large number of participants.
- MAGNITUDE OF EFFECTS ON HEALTH OUTCOMES: Fair evidence for no reduction in mortality.
- EXTERNAL VALIDITY: Fair.
Based on solid evidence, endoscopic screening would result in uncommon but serious side effects associated with endoscopy, which may include perforation, cardiopulmonary events, aspiration pneumonia, and bleeding requiring hospitalization.
Description of the Evidence
- STUDY DESIGN: Evidence obtained from well-designed and conducted case-control studies.
- INTERNAL VALIDITY: Fair.
- CONSISTENCY: Multiple studies, large number of participants.
- MAGNITUDE OF EFFECTS ON HEALTH OUTCOMES: Good evidence for rare but serious harms.
Natural History, Incidence, and Mortality
Gastric cancer is the 14th most frequent cause of cancer mortality in the United States. In 2009, it is estimated that 21,130 Americans will be diagnosed with gastric cancer and 10,620 will die of it. Two-thirds of people diagnosed with gastric cancer are older than 66 years. The disease is much more common in other countries, principally Japan, Central Europe, Scandinavia, Hong Kong, South and Central America, the Soviet Union, China, and Korea. Gastric cancer is a major cause of death worldwide, especially in developing countries. The major type of gastric cancer is adenocarcinoma (90%). The remaining 10% include lymphomas, sarcomas, and other rare types. Gastric adenocarcinomas can be further categorized into an intestinal type and a diffuse type. Intestinal-type lesions are frequently ulcerative and occur in the distal stomach more often than the diffuse type. Diffuse type lesions are associated with a worse prognosis than the intestinal type. The intestinal type tends to predominate in geographic regions with a high incidence of gastric carcinoma. The decline in the incidence of gastric cancer worldwide is largely due to a decrease in the number of intestinal type lesions.
The incidence of gastric cancer in the United States has decreased fourfold since 1930 to approximately seven cases per 100,000 people. The reasons for this striking decrease in incidence are unknown but are suspected to be related to improved storage of food, or changes in diet such as decreased salt intake. Risk factors for gastric cancer include the presence of precursor conditions such as chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia, pernicious anemia, and gastric adenomatous polyps. Genetic and environmental factors include a family history of gastric cancer; low consumption of fruits and vegetables; consumption of salted, smoked, or poorly preserved foods; and cigarette smoking. There is increasing evidence that Helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach is associated with both the initiation and promotion of gastric carcinoma and gastric lymphoma.[6,7,8] Compared with the general population, people with duodenal ulcer disease may have a lower risk of gastric cancer. There is considerable dispute as to whether partial gastrectomy, especially Billroth II gastrectomy for benign causes, increases risk.[10,11]
Evidence of Benefit
Gastroscopic examination has been proposed as a screening method for the early detection of gastric cancer. No randomized trials evaluating the impact of screening on mortality from gastric cancer have been reported, although a Japanese study randomizing municipalities within a prefecture is ongoing.
Time-trend analysis and case-control studies of gastric endoscopy suggest a twofold decrease in gastric cancer mortality in screened versus unscreened individuals;[2,3,4,5,6] however, this stands in contrast to studies of stronger design.
A cohort study of 24,134 individuals with a follow-up period of 40 months did not demonstrate a statistically significant decrease in gastric cancer mortality among men or women who were screened compared with those who were not screened. A larger prospective study examined the association between screening in the past 12 months and subsequent gastric cancer mortality and other-cause mortality. The risk of death from gastric cancer and from causes of death other than gastric cancer were reduced among those who had participated in gastric cancer screening programs, demonstrating a selection for healthier individuals into screening programs.
Another cohort study was conducted in Linqu County, China, where gastric cancer rates are high, in which over 4,000 adult residents were screened. Individuals were screened at an average of 4.5 year intervals, except for a high-risk subset (689 individuals) that was screened 2 years after the initial examination. Of the 85 cases of gastric cancer occurring in the cohort, 58 were detected with screening. No impact on gastric cancer mortality was observed among screened individuals. The standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for gastric cancer 10 years after the initial screen was 1.01 (95% confidence interval, 0.72–1.37). The SMR for all-cause mortality was significantly lower among participants since individuals with hypertension, liver disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were not eligible to participate. The study was not designed to evaluate screening, and the intervals between screens were long.
A screening study was begun in Venezuela in 1980, using radiographic fluorography. The efficacy of this program in reducing mortality from stomach cancer was evaluated by means of a case-control study. Analyses determined that the tests were ineffective in reducing mortality from gastric cancer.
In Japan, measurement of serum pepsinogen (PGI and PGII) levels in 5,113 subjects also screened by endoscopy (13 gastric cancers detected), used cut-off points for identifying risk for gastric cancer of less than 70 ng/mL for pepsinogen I and less than 3 for the PGI:PGII ratio. This combination provided a sensitivity of 84.6%, a specificity of 73.5%, a positive predictive value of 0.81%, and a negative predictive value of 99.6%.
There may be some justification for screening some populations of Americans at higher risk, although there is considerable discussion about how much incidence would make the examination worthwhile. Potential subgroups might include elderly with atrophic gastritis or pernicious anemia, patients with partial gastrectomy, patients with the diagnosis of sporadic adenomas, familial adenomatous polyposis, or hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer, and immigrant ethnic populations from countries with high rates of gastric carcinoma.[16,17]

Angel Daniel Paz Morales, Appellant, v. United States of America, Appellee, 278 F.2d 598 (1st Cir. 1960)Annotate this Case
Decided May 20, 1960
Angel Daniel Paz Morales, pro se.
Francisco A. Gil, Jr., U. S. Atty., San Juan, P. R., for appellee.
Before WOODBURY, Chief Judge, and HARTIGAN and ALDRICH, Circuit Judges.
This appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico denying a motion under Title 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to vacate sentence can be disposed of summarily.
The appellant was indicted by a grand jury in the court below for illegally transferring marihuana cigarettes in Puerto Rico on January 15, 1955, in violation, according to the citation in the margin, of Title 26 U.S.C. §§ 2591(a) and 2596. He came to trial by jury in the court below represented by competent counsel of his own choice on his plea of not guilty, was found guilty and sentenced by the court as a third offender in conformity with the procedures specified in § 7237(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, 26 U.S.C. § 7237(a) (prior to its amendment by 70 Stat. 568 (1956)).
The exclusive ground for the present motion to vacate this sentence is that the statutory references in the margin of the indictment are to sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1939 which on January 1, 1955, were superseded by corresponding sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and so were not in effect at the time of the offense alleged in the indictment.
No doubt the statutory references in the indictment were to sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1939, and no doubt also on January 1, 1955, those sections were superseded by §§ 4742(a) and 7237(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, 26 U.S.C. §§ 4742(a), 7237(a). See § 7851(a) (4), 26 U.S.C. § 7851(a) (4). Thus §§ 4742(a) and 7237(a) of the 1954 Code should have been referred to in the indictment. But it has been the federal rule for a long time that:
"It is wholly immaterial what statute was in the mind of the District Attorney when he drew the indictment, if the charges made are embraced by some statute in force. The indorsement on the margin of the indictment constitutes no part of the indictment, and does not add to or weaken the legal force of its averments. We must look to the indictment itself, and, if it properly charges an offence under the laws of the United States, that is sufficient to sustain it, although the representative of the United States may have supposed that the offence charged was covered by a different statute." Williams v. United States, 1897, 168 U.S. 382, 389, 18 S. Ct. 92, 94, 42 L. Ed. 509.
This rule was endorsed in United States v. Hutcheson, 1941, 312 U.S. 219, 229, 61 S. Ct. 463, 85 L. Ed. 788, and although Rule 7(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, 18 U.S.C., requires citation in the indictment of the statute alleged to have been violated, it also provides that error in or omission of the citation shall not be ground for dismissal of the indictment or reversal of a conviction under it "if the error or omission did not mislead the defendant to his prejudice."
An offense under § 4742(a) of the 1954 Code was clearly alleged in the indictment and we cannot see how the erroneous citation therein of § 2591(a) of the 1939 Code could have misled the defendant to his prejudice, for the sections of the Codes describe the same offense in practically identical language.
Judgment will be entered affirming the order of the District Court.

After spending close to 10 years in KL and even having stayed at Hard Rock hotel before, this was actually my first visit to Hard Rock Cafe. All I can say is that I should have done it sooner.
Kim Lian Kee has passed its prime and those days when they were the "to go to" restaurant for Hokkien Mee are long gone. Now, it's a tourist trap filled with foreign workers and poor souls who are completely clueless about how a decent Hokkien Mee should taste like.
