Studies of the corticosteroid hormones in the nematode, Ascaris suum. The roentgen finding may give rise to suspicion in various respects, yet its features are, in principle, indifferent as to etiologic conclusions. The Task Force endorsed the possibility of a more aggressive and multidisciplinary approach for patients with oligometastatic disease, stressing also the need for clinical trials in this patient population. A microarray analysis of 7539 probe sets representing 7431 transcripts on the Affymetrix soybean GeneChip were used to identify population-specific gene expression signatures in pre-infective second stage larva (pi-L2) prior to their infection of Peking.

On July 24th, 2018 Scapi Magazine sat down with Filipino Kitchen founder Natalia Roxas to talk cultural appropriation, what Filipino food is without Spanish influence, and taking back her culture from the white man.
Not to be mistaken for a restaurant, Roxas tells us about her company, Filipino Kitchen.
“Filipino Kitchen is a Filipinos food media and events company it’s not a restaurant nor do I plan to even make this a restaurant.” Roxas said. “I basically want to be a hub for education specifically using the lens of food to learn about history, cultures, traditions.”
Thinking about the past, Roxas talks to us about why she wanted to do this kind of food work and also speaks on how she makes these connections.
“I love history and I love food and I think right now as I always challenge people to be like ‘give me a Filipino dish and I’ll give you the history’.” Roxas said. “I also challenge you by telling you what your politics are by what you eat. It’s not passing judgment, I just make a connection to how they consume to what their politics are and normally it’s pretty much on point.”
Culture on her mind, Roxas speaks on what her work has brought her to learn and realize over the years.
“For me, as a cultural worker on my end it’s in a way it’s like really hard because then I would have to look like right now in the last two years I have had the honor and been humbled to learn a lot of things and as I have learned a lot of these things, you know we are so connected with our pacific brothers and sisters and cousins and with that realization it’s like okay basically in indigenous times the ocean is the highway.” Roxas said. “I will quote Moana and say ‘we are voyageurs.’ Whether it’s our not hispanicized Tagalog and how the word construction is, it’s very similar it’s very Austronesian it’s not just a Filipino thing or a Pacific thing.”
Keeping people guessing, Roxas talks to us about the difference in opening conversation while at two culturally different spaces and how a Samoan grandmother knew just the trick to making her feel welcome.

There is always a story behind the food or drink you consume. #filipinoamericanhistorymonth #filipino #filipina #filipinx #foodway #gastro #foodhistory #pacific #themoreyouknow #ediblehistory #gastronomy
“Just two weeks ago I was in Seattle at the Pacific Northwest Tattoo Expo and nobody asked me what I am or who I am. In which at Filipino events it’s always like ‘oh my god what are you? You’re mixed?’ and I’m like ‘I’m human.’” Roxas said. “Meanwhile I was in an convention hall full of Polynesians or Pacific Islanders and not one of them asked me what I was, who I was because everyone was so welcoming and a Samoan grandma telling me ‘you know you need to eat a little bit more’ and I guess in Samoa I’m petite and in Filipino standards I am not. And it is just that welcoming moment.”
Reaching back to what matters, Roxas opens up about culture commodification and how a certain essay keeps her in a good mind.
“Sometimes I’m like ‘oh my gosh and I commodifying my own culture?’ but at the same time I think I would revert back to a very powerful essay that I have read called Culture Ingested by Doreen Fernandez. She is a genius when it comes to food writing and understanding Filipino food.” Roxas said. “I always try to remember what she said, that Filipino food has been categorized as two things: The food that had been ours and the food that we made ours. The food that has always been ours is Adobo, which is a Spanish name which to me is Adobar which is to marinate or braise. And basically we’ve had this dish and didn’t know what it was called before the Spanish came.”
With top chef’s talking about Filipino food as their own, Roxas speaks up on her disappointment with the way it’s been taken from her culture and that she’s taking it back.
“As a woman of color and specifically a Filipina there are certain levels of how they’re reporting feels exotifying. I’m not going to be pinpointing it was because Anthony Bourdain said this or Jonathan Gold said this but it was also a cultural validation that we have led them speak for us and get the validation to look into our own culture to say that this is valuable or this is worth anything.” Roxas said. “It breaks my heart to be able to need a white man’s approval to say ‘yes I can bring Adobo to work and I don’t have to be apologetic about it’.”

On April 5th, the Associated Press reported that Sean Goldman's Brazilian grandmother has filed a court action seeking to have visitation with Sean. Apparently she and her husband have been
in New Jersey since last month and arrived with hopes of visiting 9-year-old Sean Goldman. Sean and his father arrived home in the United States on December 24, 2009.
Apparently Silvana Bianchi has a short memory. Is it possible that she has forgotten that David Goldman had to wait four years to see Sean after Goldman's former wife (Bianchi's daughter, now deceased) abducted the child to Brazil?
Goldman's lawyer, Patricia Apy, told the AP that an offer was made to provide contact with the child with a mental health professional supervising. Apy described Goldman as desiring a process of transition. This sounds logical and sound considering the difficulty in adjustments that a child in Sean's position must be having to make. According to Apy, Bianchi wasn't willing to have visitation with restrictions. Therefore, she and her husband filed an emergency motion, which the court in New Jersey denied. There will be a hearing in May.
David Goldman told MSNBC that he will allow grandparent visitation at some point in time, but not at this time:

So in creating this section of my website/blog/channel, I’ve neglected thus far to mention the point.
Build a Bard is my attempt to give you a look into the minutia of being a bard, and trying to translate and resurrect epic poetry into our current dis-enchanted world. This is (in part) my current plan for the many writings that I have done so far.
1. Archive and edit the text of all my hundreds of poems, and keep making new ones.
2. Record myself reading said poems to a camera (Looking to upgrade said camera as well)
3. Take and publish that “Talking head” video and audio as part of the process.
4. Create supporting sequential art using AI diffusion/generation along with procreate and other skills
5. Create a musical score with minimal sound effects
6. Animate said footage (Mainly simple Ken Burns style keyframing) with the talking head video and kinetic text.
7. Publish the final animation across a myriad of platforms
8. Create a digital and physical product to be sold online and in-person
One of the big hurdles I’m overcoming in this process is on number 6. I record in 16 by 9 aspect ratio with my camera and my artwork is 1 by 1. Technically I could generate the art a little differently or shoot in another aspect ratio but this is fairly intentional on my part. You see, I’m animating in 3 aspect ratios in 3 different final cut projects each time I add an image. This way, no text is going to be cut off, and you’re never going to have the subject of the shot needlessly cut off. I crop according to the best shot I can get for each ratio.
My final output will include 3 aspect ratios of the same animated/live action video. 1 in 16 by 9, one in 9 by 16, and one in 1 by 1. This way, regardless of a platform’s preferred aspect ratio, my video will be of quality and can compete. Sure it’s a hard road to haul to animate 3 times each time you generate 1 image. But the end product will be worth the effort.
Here’s a screen test in the three different aspect ratios with our mysterious spirit from “The Stone Cutter.”

The US State Department has announced a strict travel ban on Syria’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Bashar jaafari, saying he cannot leave the five boroughs of New York City anymore.
The State Department declined to discuss the details of the matter, but the announcement comes after complaints from pro-rebel Syrian-Americans that the ambassador had traveled around the US on a “propaganda tour” for the Assad government.
The announcement is unusual but not unprecedented, as the State Department has imposed similar restrictions on the UN Ambassadors from North Korea and Iran.
It would be extremely unusual for the State Department to impose such a restriction entirely to prevent an ambassador from making speeches inside the United States, and while they haven’t confirmed this as the reason, there has been no suggestion of an alternative justification.

What a tremendous weekend with Gary. We had mainly stock people this school and the caliber of the dogs was up there. Four local people attended which was great. The rest travelled from Oberon, Gilgandra, Sydney and Victoria.
Although we had one young dog and beginner handler there was more time spent in the paddock than the training yard. This meant that people could see first hand how basic training moves out to a bigger area and how getting the basics right effects everything else from there. Everyone thought they had a stop on their dogs until it was really put to the test. This was an eye opener for some who have been working dogs for years and could see the difference between a good solid stop and a half stop.
Tail to the rail was a term I had not heard Gary say before and it was a ping moment for me.
Vic with his young dog. Sensible man having a Collie. 🙂 Vic is just starting out and found the school very helpful to get on the right foot with his dog. Although they where beginners he already had a good bond with his pup and they did really well.
Sarah is a contract stockwomen and has Koolie & Koolie Xs. Best behaved Koolies I have seen. She has a strong bond with her dogs and they would do anything with her. What a super mum she is too. When she said she was coming with a baby I was a bit hesitant but she proved me wrong. Her little girl is adorable and I would say is going to be a dog trainer like her mum when she grows up.
The Boys from Vic. Nicest fellows. They had a good sound pack of dogs and really got a lot out of the school. They have been working stock for years and want to get into trailing more, to do that they have recognized that to compete you need a well polished dog. Something that is hard to do when you take your dogs to work every day and have no trainer sheep. They saw the importance of having sheep that will work with you when training your dogs.
Hat’s off to Tanya. Hubby got this dog and then did nothing. Tanya’s stepped up to train the dog and get into trailing. She did a awesome job on the weekend. As her and her dogs confidence grows she’ll progress well I am sure.
Cass is on property and has this ripper of a pup. Look out for her in the future.
Sharon is a return customer and loves working with Gary. She has come a long way from her days in Sydney. She now owns property locally and is running sheep and cropping. Another like minded person living her dream.
George is a local fellow and has been working dogs for years. Stockman who was looking to fine tune his dogs and continue learning.
Diana has two large stations that she runs with her hubby. She is determined to get her dogs well started so she can work with them on the property.
Mark is from Sydney and is living his retirement dream traveling to trail and work his dogs.
A big thank you to Gary for coming again. I am glad we could laugh about my dog chasing ability.

The 2023 Pension Changes Both Savers and Retirees Need To Know
Whether you have already retired, are preparing to do so within the next few years or still saving for your future, here are the 2023 pension changes you should account for in your planning.
The State Pension is due to rise in April 2023
The State Pension is due to rise by a record-breaking 10.1% in April 2023, following a lower than usual increase in April 2022 while the pensions triple-lock was suspended due to the pandemic.
In April 2023, the full State Pension will rise from £185.15 per week to £203.50 per week, giving an annual income of £10,600. At the same time, the basic State Pension will rise from £141.80 per week to £156 per week for an annual income of £8,100.
Both the full and basic State Pension will therefore remain within the tax-free personal allowance of £12,750.
Pension Credit is rising too – and many don’t realise they’re eligible to claim
Just like the State Pension, Pension Credit is due to rise by 10.1% in April 2023. This means-tested benefit tops up retirement income and can help recipients qualify for other benefits, however many retirees don’t realise they are eligible to claim.
In April, Pension Credit could top up the weekly income of a single person to a maximum of £201.05, and could top up the joint weekly income of a couple to £306.85.
As well providing a valuable income boost, Pension Credit can help eligibility for other means tested payments including cold weather payments, help with NHS costs such as dental work and glasses and, for those aged over 75, a free TV licence.
Those in receipt of Winter Fuel Payments are due to receive an additional £300 Pensioner Cost of Living payment in winter 2023/24, having received this payment for the first time in January 2023.
Introduction of Pension Dashboards to help savers plan with confidence
In order to help people plan with confidence for their retirement, the Pensions Regulator has mandated the introduction of online ‘Pension Dashboards’. These portals will include information about pension pots, final salary pensions and the state pension. A pension dashboard will enable consumers to see the current value of their pensions, discover administrative details about their pots, and assess their estimated income from these pensions in retirement – all in one place and due to begin rolling out from April 2023. Easier access to pension information is intended to support decisions around retirement planning and pension consolidation, as well as making it easier for people to keep up to date with pensions from previous employment.
No increases in annual allowances may affect some savers
Tax-free allowances will remain frozen this year, which may see some retirement savers pay more tax over the years as their income and savings increase.
The Lifetime Allowance is due to remain frozen at £1,073,100 until at least April 2026. This allowance sets the maximum amount which can be saved in a pension before taxes are due to be charged when withdrawing money from the pension pot. Savers with large pots, particularly those in defined benefit or ‘final salary’ pensions may be unaware of their liability under this allowance.
The Annual Allowance, which sets the amount which can receive tax relief when saved into a pension each year, will also remain unchanged in 2023/24, at £40,000.
Longer term changes to State Pension and private pension age rules
Retirement planning is all the more important in light of the rising age of State Pension eligibility, with private savings required for those who wish to retire early.
Currently, men and women can both access the State Pension from the age of 66, and this is due to rise to 67 by 2028 and rise again to 68 by 2037/39. There is however speculation that the UK Government wish to bring forward the timescale for the rise to 68, and a review of State Pension age is due to be published in early 2023. If the Government acts in line with previous practice, there should be a gap of at least ten years between a reduced age of eligibility being announced and the change coming into effect, which suggests that the move to 68 may impact those planning to retire from 2033 onwards.
Savers with private pensions should also be aware of changing ages of eligibility. In 2028, the age at which savers can access private pensions will rise from 55 to 57.
At McCrea, our annual reviews make sure your pensions and retirement plans remain on track to support the retirement you deserve.

Gwyneth Paltrow named her baby after it. It inspired Beatles album art.Â It made Steve Jobs billions of dollars.Â We should eat one a day.Â Teachers love to eat them apparently.Â And if you get one in your eye, it’s a good thing.
The Apple. It tempted Eve. It’ll tempt you. Too much? I agree, but it’s late and I’ve got to get this post up.
We’ve been told all our lives that an apple a day will keep the doctor away. There is truth to that old adage. Apples are full of fibre, so they’ll help keep your system running smooth, like getting a regular oil change for your car. Apples also give you vitamin C, although almost half of the vitamin C in apples is located just under the skin, so skin on is better; remember that, children, skin on is better.
Both of the recipes today are from Tosca Reno’s Eat Clean Diet Cookbook, but I had to pass them on because they are two of my favourite recipes. This first one is a perfect snack if you are getting tired of biting into an apple everyday.
Place all ingredients in a large ziploc bag.Â Make sure all ingredients are evenly distributed.Â Place in freezer overnight (or at least for four hours).Â Remove from freezer and allow to thaw for an hour.Â Gently rub skin from apples and place apple pulp into a serving bowl.Â Mash with a fork or potato masher.Â Serve cold.
I make this recipe almost once a month. The mayo substitute is creamy, especially after it mingles with the rest of the ingredients after a day or two. I promise you’ll love this one! You can also add cubed chicken for a true waldorf salad flavour.
Healthy Waldorf Salad
1 cup dices celery
1 cup diced crisp apples
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup seedless red grapes, halved
1 cup of cooked cubed chicken breasts (optional)
1/2 cup low-fat, plain yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
Replace the standard mayonnaise with yogurt mixed with lemon juice.
Place all salad ingredients in a large serving bowl.Â Toss with dressing and keep refrigerated until ready to serve. It’s actually best the day after.
Apples are having to work hard to remain synonymous with fruits and not with electronics. Guys like this are not helping to curb the popularity of the latter.

View Full Version : Idle problem!?!?! :(
- January 3rd, 2003, 08:33 PM
Hello everyone.. I am new to the board. About six months ago I flew to Florida to purchase my 1992 Dodge Stealth RT. I had everything checked out at the Mitsu dealership and they said everything was perfect. When I got the car there was a clutch problem.. which I paid out of my ass to fix. Recently this idle problem started. It started out by going below 1000 rmp to die out unless I kept giving it gas. Soon after that it stopped dieing out and started jumping from 3000 back down.. back up again constantly. It doesn't jump anymore.. basically it stays inbetween 2000 and 3000 rpm's. I am about to have the problem diagnosted at the dealership. Any suggestions to what the problem is? Also there is some sort of a cooling problem. It will overheat unless it is totally completely full with coolant.. otherwise its fine.. whats the deal with that? Thanks a lot for any suggestions!
- January 3rd, 2003, 09:52 PM
Try to have the o2 sensor replaced. It may be tired only.
- January 9th, 2003, 06:44 PM
OK took it to Mitsubishi for a diagnostic. They said the problem was the Idle Air (Speed) Control motor $336 for the part..$426 with labor. Does anybody know a little more about that. Where I could possibly get the part cheaper? Is it hard to replace? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
- January 9th, 2003, 07:49 PM
"The IAC, Idle Air Control (you will also see it called ISC) is a DC controlled stepper motor. The ECM uses it to vary idle speed. AC, electrical load, power steering etc will cause the ECM to change the step count. You may need to reset base idle after an IAC change."
"I thought I had a problem with mine, so I took it apart and cleaned it. Turned out the problem was bad O2 sensors and a dirty throttle body and plenum. After new O2's and a thorough TB cleaning (and Seafoam treatment) my idle is stronger than ever. I suspect a lot of problems people have with a bad idle speed are misdiagnosed as the IAC motor. It's very expensive to replace and I'd try everything else I could think of before I bought a new one. The manual has a procedure to test the IAC motor."
"If you take out the IAC (bit of a PITA to get to the bottom screw) you can clean it with carb cleaner. I just cleaned mine two days ago and it fixed the problem I was having (car would shut off after I started it). Just pull it out - it'll be black and nasty looking. Take the carb cleaner and spray some on a rag or on the end of the IAC and rub it for a bit. It should clean it right up."
"Get a new Idle Control Servo. That WILL fix it. No question. Call Tall Mitsubishi and ask for part MD628053. Tell them you are a 3Si member and they will put it to your door in two days for ~$250. It's not cheap, but that is the solution. The ICS on my VR4 went out. It would work fine until the engine got warmed up and then my idle would just wack out on me. I swapped it with the one in my base coupe. It acted fine in the base coupe for a few days then it totally crapped out regardless of the operating temp. I ordered one from Tall Mitsubishi and within 15 minutes of it arriving the car was idling like a champ."
This is what I found. I will try to find a link to instructions.
- January 9th, 2003, 08:14 PM
Thank you so much for the info! So you are saying it is relatively easy to remove and replace the IAC? Also you were talking about getting a new Idle Control Servo.. Same thing right? Any instructions or a link would be great.
- January 10th, 2003, 02:51 PM
Just time consuming to change out. IAC and servo = same thing.
I am trying to find detailed instructions for you. Keep checking back.
- March 25th, 2003, 09:21 PM
have a 93 stealth with same problem what fixed the problem??
- March 26th, 2003, 08:14 AM
Yeah. Did the problem get fixed?
- May 8th, 2003, 07:47 AM
i have a 1994 dodge stealth with a very similar problem.
i got it about 2 months ago and it would normall idle around 800 rpm. i had a bat battery - and it kept dying, so i just replaced the batterey 2 days ago.
But heres the deal. It used to idle around 800 rpm all the time. but now what happens is when i start the car, it will idle down and die unless i keep giving it gas. but after driving it a bit it dosent die, it will idle at between 2000 - 3000 RPM which is way too high.
im taking it to my local mechanic in like 30 mins, so if he gets it fixed ill tell you guys what it was. ( hopefully its not that IAC unit becuase i dont have an extra $400 :( )
- May 9th, 2003, 07:22 AM
Welp, thats what it was. IAC..... that SUCKS. the bill with labor is going to be $450.
- May 9th, 2003, 12:04 PM
Find a used one and replace it yourself. Not that hard.
- June 30th, 2003, 11:50 PM
could have just bought an O-Ring for $0.25. That was my fix. The O-Ring on the IAC tends to melt after a while, and needs to be replaced. You could have saved a nice chunck of change by doing that first. Use the www.3si.org message boards for more info. They're great on that one.

Discover the results of the first international study on how cities and SMEs are building resilience to climate change.
By 2030, 60% of the world's population will be living in cities, which will be at the core of the climate conundrum.
Now that climate change has become a reality, how will our cities and SMEs adapt to its impact? How will they manage the new economic, social and environmental risks? What are the challenges and obstacles that are slowing down resilience efforts? These are the primary questions raised this summer with some 1,000 SME directors and urban leaders from major cities in 18 countries across Europe, the Americas and Asia.
One month before COP21, AXA and the United Nations Environment Programme for Sustainable Insurance (UNPSI) invite you to debate the practical solutions to tackle the effects of climate change.

Digital Artists and Their Work
As we are thinking about the components that make a collage or painting successful, it would be wise to look at the work of several digital artists working today. I have selected them as stellar examples of how fine art work is being produced around the globe. Their techniques vary widely, and their subject matter and styles are equally diverse.
When looking at a piece of digital art we often want to know, “How did they do that?” In this chapter you will find out. Each artist was invited to submit one piece and to detail the steps that were taken in the creative process of constructing that piece of art. I also encouraged them to divulge what equipment they use, favorite papers, etc. ...

Drama, drama, drama,
Oozing from your every pore,
Spilling out the houses walls,
Seeping into the floors,
That I had once crawled,
A smaller, younger, innocent, me,
And sometimes I laugh, since you labeled ME the drama queen.
The label, echoes in my mind,
At every laugh, every cry, and every sigh,
Haunts my world, and drips into yours, to which is my drama,
You weep, yell, scream, whine,
And I want to scream " I GOT YA!"
All the lies you told me, to keep the past in the past,
Have speeded up, making itself present,
So all the questions I asked,
Have come back, traveling through time,
So you resent me,
Since my father was one of the many crimes,
On my record.
You show yourself so weak,
So I turn the other cheek,
But I know,
That YOU are in fact,
The drama queen.

Who is supplying weapons to the warring parties in Yemen, is complicit in the humanitarian disaster, say the UN. Germany, too, must feel addressed, writes Rainer Sollich.
Until the end of September, the Federal government needs to meet in Berlin, a difficult decision. You must decide whether Germany’s so-called “export of arms-stop” versus “directly on the Yemen-at the end of the war, participating countries”, prolonged or even exacerbated. The pressure, to weaken the Embargo to continue or to stop it completely, is palpable and, in particular, of the European partner countries, France and the UK, as well as from the domestic weapons industry to The other European partners with a word of “contractual fidelity” in community projects in a Region, in the Europe of today is hardly a reliable Partner can be found. The gun industry fears their businesses and warns of the loss of local jobs.
It is right to consider all of this. And it is also true that foreign and Foreign economic consequences of policy, not alone moral principles: The warring parties in Yemen obtain their weapons from a variety of sources, some of which have little to no inhibitions, with a cruel war to earn good money. The warring parties in Yemen are the Bomb for your daily and Kill is not mandatory on unabated supply of German arms to rely forging. How necessary is it, therefore, the parties to the conflict to continue with German weapons goods to withhold, if, ultimately, other actors fill the gap and perhaps even “better” on the Die in Yemen earn?
DW editor Rainer Sollich
It is, nevertheless, necessary. I even think it will be a political and moral duty! Because other countries have little concerns to supply arms or military usable components to belligerent parties, may be for political decision-makers in Germany, there is no reason to do so. This contradicts all of the foreign policy values and objectives, which carries the Federal Republic of Germany since its Foundation in pride in front of them. And it contradicts – if not clear by the wording – but clearly the spirit of the German basic law. Also, it is in politics as in life: If no one is willing to work with one of the major concerns one, then can change to the Situation overall, nothing fast.
Who deserves to Die?
Only on Tuesday of this week, a UN review has clearly, once again, shocking how brutal of all the warring parties to proceed in Yemen. They exploit the Land outright for their strategic purposes and for their proxy war, mainly between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Arabia led the Arab war coalition bombed ruthlessly again and again, civilian institutions such as schools or hospitals. The Iran of supporting Houthi rebels to fire also areas in residential and must be exactly like your opponents, torture, rapes and disappearances blame. Moreover, there is according to the UN notes that the warring parties, despite the catastrophic humanitarian emergency, people intentionally starve in order to influence the course of the war in their favor. It is a dirty and inhuman war, in which none of the parties involved, “has clean hands”, as one of the authors of the UN report said. This also applies to their external supporters: Who delivers weapons there, makes a clear complicit! Also, the UN is make specially attention to the fact that the shipments of weapons to Iran, but also in the USA, France and the UK need to be at least as a possible complicity in war crimes is considered.
If at the end of September will be decided on an extension of the German arms export stops for the countries of the Yemen war, then it is not allowed to go therefore is to continue to weaken. It should be tightened on the contrary, significantly. Because there are scandalous many loopholes and exceptions, so that members of the opposition critics in Germany, speak as the Green already from a “Placebo-adoption”, which should only reassure the Public. A striking example of the many loopholes in the embargo, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), who were all alone in the first half of the year 2019 shipments of Armaments to the value of more than 206 million euros from Germany. Are and remain the UAE, even after its recent change of strategy towards the Saudis and their alleged retreat of troops military involved table deep in the Yemen war, and equip there, allied militias and mercenaries with modern weapons. Also these weapons can kill people.

In-situ measurement of residual stress is a challenge and a source of many defects in the additive manufacturing process (AM).
Usually, once a defect occurs, it is too late to save the product after the death measurement.
Most of the existing technologies are Predictive simulation and post-mortem analysis.
However, these techniques do not directly reflect the stress changes in the manufacturing process.
This paper introduces a kind of computer vision technology.
Stress monitoring system based on finite element method (FEM)
Techniques for estimating stress development within the sediment layer.
The system uses a CCD camera and a line laser beam to measure the height of the molten pool and the solidified layer to form a real
The time finite element model and the surface displacement between the two states are used to calculate the stress development during the solidification process.
The results show that there is no obvious shape change after solidification.
The shape of the molten pool is similar to that of the solid state.
The stress distribution obtained through online monitoring is similar to the traditional thermal-
Stress simulation. Laser-
Auxiliary metal additive manufacturing uses a laser as a heat source to melt the substrate, delivering the metal powder coaxial into the molten pool and depositing it on the substrate to form the various shapes required by the user.
This method is widely used in the repair, cladding and manufacturing of engineering components and works of art.
However, due to the complexity of the laser thermal history,
Based on the AM process, uneven heat shrinkage and expansion can produce a large amount of residual stress inside the solidified material.
These stresses may exceed the strength of the material and may lead to undesirable deformation and cracking. The stress-
The resulting defects often appear slowly and gradually, without obvious symptoms, and may erupt with very little external stimulation.
Therefore, it is essential to control the pressure during the AM process.

Traditional equipment is difficult to locate in the manufacturing process to measure stress.

Digital image correlation for Biegler applications (DIC)
A technique for measuring distortion on a substrate.
This method has to spray the overlay in the target area, which makes it easier to detect distortion.
However, due to the changing shape of the overlay and the relatively high temperature, it is difficult to form a stable optical overlay, so it is difficult to apply it to the sediment layer.
In this article, we have developed a new method to monitor the stress evolution in the process of the device.
Based on computer vision and finite element analysis, the method can quickly predict the stress generated during laser deposition.

How much of a success was Shia LaBeouf’s #ALLMYMOVIES experiment? So much that it changed his coffee order name.
Trivial as that might sounds, LaBeouf puts great importance on reclaiming his own name in the wake of last week’s movie marathon at the Angelika Theater: “I used to order my coffee and when they’d say, ‘Hey what’s your name?’ I’d say James, because I didn’t want them to say my name. . . . I would never claim my name. And today it’s just something different, it’s as simple as that.” As the #ALLMYMOVIES experiment, in which all of LaBeouf’s movies played in reverse chronological order for three days straight, neared its end, I wrote about how surprisingly poignant the experience became, watching LaBeouf watch his younger self. As it turned out, it felt just as poignant for LaBeouf and his collaborators too, as all three discussed in a wide-ranging interview at New Hive, which hosted the live stream of the entire event. As LaBeouf said:
The Even Stevens Movie was interesting, it’s all of our childhood. It’s mine and it’s yours. It wasn’t just me smiling like that. If you look at the freeze frames, everyone is smiling like wow, I remember Beans. I remember that stupid-ass song. We were all looking at our yearbook together and we’re all in the yearbook. It felt like family, we were sitting there like a high school class.
Even LaBeouf’s collaborator Rönkkö, who was born in Finland and had never heard of Even Stevens before meting Shia, felt the power. “I was nostalgic because everyone else was nostalgic,” he said. “I was feeling the feelings with them and through them.”
As for all of the feelings we thought we saw in Shia and merrily expressed via screenshots and GIFs? He was definitely feeling them too. Despondent at Transformers 2:
Transformers 2 they could feel when I sunk in my seat. That’s not a performative thing. That’s me going through some kind of crisis.
Discomfort at the still unreleased Man Down, which kicked off the series:
When it first came in, Man Down is a movie that hasn’t been released yet, we just showed it at two film festivals, and no one was watching the movie. Everyone who came into the theater sat down and stared at me. And I felt it.
And finally, when the festival wrapped up with a huge round of applause, elation, and a sense of community
I’m walking through the streets and I’m smiling, like a cartoon character…I felt extraordinary support…Once you press play on your life and you open up and there’s that vulnerability and not only are people getting the artistic side of you but they’re getting the human side of you, watching that, you’ve shared everything.
Is this the beginning of a whole new Shia LaBeouf, at least in how the public perceives him? Who knows—it might only take one more Walgreens arrest for people to go back to thinking of him as pretentious and entitled. But by opening up in this way, first with his facial expressions on the live stream and then in this remarkable interview, LaBeouf really has accomplished what he set out to do: letting us see him as a human again. Here’s hoping it lasts.

The originial version of this Idea referenced ordinary Ping Pong balls, except that they wouldn't be ordinary; they were supposed to be biodegrade-able.
I dislike that, because it means you have to keep making them constantly, using up energy and resources, to replace the ones that biodegrade. However,
I like the reason why biodegrade-ability was desired: We don't want wildlife dying from eating them.
Well, there is another solution: Make them too big to be eaten! Say, a meter in diameter. Very few critters will be able to eat such large spheres.
Another advantage of huge Ping Pong balls is that we can efficiently use them to sequester CO2. They are made from pretty tough stuff, after all, to withstand the hard paddling of many games, and can hold a moderate internal pressure.
Compare a meter-diameter Ping Pong ball with the typical 4cm diameter ball: the larger ball has 25 times the diameter, 625 times the surface area (material to manufacture), and 25x25x25 = 15,625 times the volume of the ordinary ball. We can use less material to store more gas, when we make giant-not-ordinary Ping Pong balls.
So, about the only change needed, from the standard (but scaled up) manufacturing process is the final step where two halves of each giant Ping Pong Ball are sealed together; we just do this in a room full of modestly pressurized CO2, piped in direct from, say, a coal-burning power plant, and make sure the seal is "hermetic" (won't leak).

Across the nation, bird biologists are gearing up for the upcoming field season, and GBBO is no exception. Here’s a run-down of the field work that we’re starting up over the next couple of months.
We’ve mentioned before our efforts to monitor the populations of fish-eating waterbirds on Walker Lake and other terminal lakes in western Nevada, and this work is continuing. The ongoing drop in the water level in Walker Lake has led to increasing concentrations of dissolved solids, decimating the lake’s fish populations and the birds that depend on them. If ongoing efforts to secure more water for Walker Lake are successful, we hope we’ll be able to document waterbird recovery in the future.
|Pine Nut Range|
Also on the docket is our statewide Golden Eagle inventory project, in collaboration with the Nevada Department of Wildlife, where we’re working together to better understand how eagles are distributed statewide, so we can provide the Bureau of Land Management and other agencies with the information they need to protect Golden Eagles in the face of energy development pressure and other possible conservation challenges.
Starting up is a new Elf Owl study in the Mojave and Sonoran Desert regions of California and Arizona. This will be our second Elf Owl project for the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program (LCR-MSCP). The Elf Owl is a conservation priority species for this program, and our project is designed to better understand the habitat needs and preferences of this tiny owl, so that restoration activities along the LCR can be designed to provide maximum benefit.

We are continuing to use the expertise and skills developed in designing and implementing bird surveys and monitoring projects to benefit management programs for stray dogs and cats in the US, and around the world. Free-roaming cats and dogs can have negative impacts on wildlife and public health, and they also suffer from frequent abuse and neglect. Previous efforts to manage stray animal populations have often been ineffective because of insufficient monitoring, lack of analytical rigor, and a poor understanding of animal population dynamics. By providing consultation services to organizations that are seeking to better manage stray animal populations, GBBO is helping to rectify these oversights and ensure that stray animal management programs are effective.
The Lower Colorado River program continues this year – and, in fact, trail clearing starts up next week! Since 2008, we've been conducting area searches within riparian corridors in the river's historic flood plain as part of the LCR-MSCP. We're surveying sites where riparian habitat has been restored, as well as those on federal, tribal, state, and private lands to obtain population size estimates, trends, and distributions for six LCR-MSCP species of concern (Gila Woodpecker, Summer Tanager, Arizona Bell’s Vireo, Sonoran Yellow Warbler, Gilded Flicker, and Vermilion Flycatcher) as well as many other riparian birds. Along with this population monitoring, we're also developing detailed habitat assessments for the first four of the above species. More details can be found in our annual reports at http://www.lcrmscp.gov/steer_committee/technical_reports.html.
In 2013, we began a new component of the project: monitoring potential impacts of saltcedar beetles on riparian birds of the LCR. Here, in the center of the invasion by the saltcedar beetle, we are able to study the effects of defoliation as the impact unfolds. Impacts of defoliation may be sudden or they may occur over an extended period of time. For example, sudden effects might result from nests being exposed to the sun (and thereby to higher temperatures), or by depressing insect populations through sun exposure. Alternatively, impacts might occur over time as suitable habitat becomes less and less available because of the lack of canopy cover and lack of recruitment of other suitable vegetation. This season will be the second of the three-year project.
Last but not least – and near and dear to my (Jen's) heart! – is the Nevada Bird Count. The NBC is a statewide bird monitoring program (with a few surveys dispersing out into adjacent states), that focuses on point count transects supplemented by area searches – and a whole lot of habitat assessments! I just checked our database, and we have 892 transects set up so far; in 2014, we’ll be surveying a subset of these, along with a number of new locations. The NBC acts as a sort of umbrella, encompassing a lot of different projects. This year, we’ll be continuing our surveys at Warm Springs Natural Area, as well as those along the Truckee and Walker Rivers. The Pine Nut Range is another big project area, where we’ll be investigating pinyon-juniper treatment areas as well as fire impacts from last year’s blaze. We’re also going to be looking at bird communities in sagebrush and blackbrush habitats in the Great Basin and Mojave Desert, particularly in relation to linear disturbance factors like roads and powerlines. Finally, we’ll be monitoring restoration areas at Pahranagat and Desert National Wildlife Refuges. It’s going to be fun! There are several more NBC-related projects in the hopper, too, so stay tuned!

Dutch brewing company Heineken has reported a rise in profits for the last six months, despite falling beer sales.
Net profits for the first half of the year hit 621m euros (£510m; $788m), up 17% on the same period last year.
Cost cutting helped boost profits, which came despite a 2.3% decrease in beer sales.
The company blamed the economic environment and tax increases in Europe for the decline.
The brewer's UK arm made a positive contribution to the rise in profits, largely due to higher prices and brewery closures.
The group shut breweries in Reading and Dunston, near Newcastle, which it took over as part of the deal to buy Scottish and Newcastle in 2008.
These measures helped drive "strong" earnings growth, the brewer said.
There was also strong growth in Africa, Asia and Latin America, Heineken said, while trading in Europe and North America remained "challenging".
Heineken makes some of the biggest selling beer brands in Europe, including Heineken, Amstel, Fosters and Strongbow.
The Heineken brand itself outperformed the rest of the company's beer brands, as well as the broader market, Heineken said.
The company's chairman and chief executive Jean-Francois van Boxmeer said Heineken's focus on developing markets meant it was "well placed for the future".
"Our expanded footprint in Latin America complements our strong positions in Africa and Asia where we continue to see excellent opportunities for future volume growth," he said.
Meanwhile, the company said it remained "cautious" over prospects for Europe and North America, with planned austerity measures expected to further hit demand.

Blue Line proposals 2020 - Mpls, MN
Oct 2020: Now that the BNSF and Penn Av alignments are out
for the Blue Line extension in Minneapolis, MN, I propose the
It would start like previous proposals and have the first stop close
to where the Van White stop would have been at Olson Highway and Van
White Blvd (Emerson Av). But then it would turn north and follow the
Emerson Av corridor north to stops at Plymouth and Broadway and then
on north to 26th Av N where it would turn west to Broadway Avenue.
It might use north and south split between Emerson and Fremont.
See Google Map of Blue Line proposals
Assuming it could reasonably fit in this alignment, it would have
1) It would serve the eastern part of the Harrison neighborhood
which was promised service by the earlier proposals.
2) It would serve Broadway at Emerson WITHOUT the disruption of
following the congested portion of Broadway (if that is even feasible).
A stop near the Penn Av and 26th Av N would serve nearby Broadway Av.
3) It would serve North Memorial Medical Center (which the BNSF proposal
did not do)
4) It would serve Plymouth Av at Emerson
5) The Van White Station could include a a new safer way for
pedestrians to cross Olson Highway.
6) It could reuse some of the engineering between Target Field and
the Van White Station
7) In general it would better serve the population of North Minneapolis.
Note that in terms of serving people, where stops are located is more
important than how the the train gets between stops.

A cat lover from an early age, Peter Scottsdale wrote his first cat tale, “The Cat and the Dog,” in a grade three creative writing exercise – the story of a cat and a dog lost in the woods, and the police shooting the dog for some reason. Peter drew inspiration for the story from Disney’s The Incredible Journey.
Inspired by such books as Hardy Boys Mysteries, Marvel Comics and Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Scottsdale wrote several published short stories with his grade nine English teacher.
Then life happened. Scottsdale stopped writing, only scribbling bits of story every so often. A family came along which turned into single parenthood. He raised his kids and wrote here-and-there.
Throughout his life, cats have been a welcome and influencing presence. From Tia (a Siamese) to Booties (a Tabby with White) to Rusty (an orange boy with little ears) to Sam the Siamese, Peter has loved all his felines (and still does). He’s loved all his cats so much so he started to write about them. They have inspired and delighted him to create cat stories and to find feline facts for his books.
Cat lover turned author, Peter Scottsdale published his first book, 365 Fascinating Facts You Didn’t Know About Your Cat, in 2012. He followed that with How Do Cats Do That? and The Wonder of Cats.
An English Major, Scottsdale graduated from Medicine Hat College with an Associate of Arts Diploma in 1995. He continues to research our furry felines and write cat fiction and non-fiction and hopes fellow kitty-cat people will enjoy his work.
Currently, he resides in Medicine Hat, AB with his three cats: Tanzy (the feisty feline), Alley (the mischief maker) and Tigger (the gentle giant).

Have you ever noticed that while you're busy in the kitchen baking the most delicious treats for everyone, there's always one "person" who never keeps their eyes off you? Yes, it's your pets. They may lie on your feet, on the counter, smell everything, but surely hang around all the time even you may ignore them.
It would be so sad if they couldn't enjoy any of your bakings. This year let them be involved. The holiday season is for everyone, right. Since all the goodies you bake aren't good for dogs, let's make a compromise this time. Have a special batch of holiday dog treats for your paw friends, and make them feel be a part of your holidays' celebration with everyone.
Here are our five favorite recipes of easy holiday dog treats that you can try effortlessly.
Christmas Cookies For Dogs
To be fair, these Christmas cookies will look as delicious as cookies for humans, but with more special ingredients for your dogs can enjoy completely.
1. Prepare a large baking sheet with baking paper. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Mix all the ingredients into a big bowl except the beet powder. Stir well until well-blended. Now add the beet powder and knead well with your hand to change the dough color into a beautiful Christmas red.
3. Put the dough onto a large parchment sheet top it with another one. Roll the dough until it's about 1/4 inch, and use a cookie cutter to design the cookie shapes. Fill the pan with all the shaped cookies and rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
4. Bake the cookies for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your cookie shapes. After taking it out of the oven, let it cool completely before serving them to your dogs.
Sweat Potato Holiday Dog Treats
A healthy holiday dog treat that can significantly brighten up his mood this Christmas.
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Peel two medium sweet potatoes and cut them into small cube pieces. Boil them in a pot of water for 15-20 minutes until soft. Drain cooked sweet potatoes and blend in the food processor or blender.
3. Stir the flour, oatmeals, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Whisk the cooked potatoes with egg and peanut butter in a bigger bowl until combined. Mix the combination in two bowls into a well-incorporated one.
4. Pour onto a floured chopping board or countertop and roll the dough until 1/4 - 3/8 thick. Use a Christmas cookie cutter to cut the dough into your favorite shapes.
5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
6. Until they are thoroughly cool and hard, your dog can try a bite.
Peanut Butter Holiday Dog Treats
Who doesn't love peanut butter? Your dog will thank you a lot for making him these tasty holiday dog treats.
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium bowl, mix 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of whole wheat flour. Add 1 teaspoon molasses, 2 teaspoons peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a larger bowl. Pour the dry mix into the wet ingredients and stir until smooth.
3. On a baking sheet, spray cooking oil. Scoop the dough into small balls and flatten them with the back of a fork to create a crisscross score design. Or use a cookie cutter to make whatever shape you and your pawties love.
4. Bake for about half an hour. Wait until cool before giving the treats to your pup.
Frozen Pumpkin Treat
This is a non-baking holiday dog treat that you must try to make for your precious paws this Christmas.
1. Use an electric mixer to blend all three ingredients until smooth.
2. Pour into the ice cube tray. If you have some fancier ice trays with heart or animal shapes, use them to make the treats look even better.
3. Freeze for 12 hours.
4. Pop them out and store them in a jar and give your furry friends a bite.
Fruity Frosty Treats
This is another healthy freeze holiday dog treat for you to fully use all the fruits in your refrigerator.

Yoon Boo-keun, President and CEO of Consumer Electronics at Samsung, has said that he will detail the company’s plans regarding how it will tap the Internet of Things for fresh revenue streams in his keynote speech at CES 2015.
The Korea Times reports that Yoon believes that the IoT will be able to make up for Samsung’s ailing smartphone performance of recent times, and that he told the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA): “There is no doubt that IoT will lead the next wave of consumer technology, and Samsung is committed to contributing to this revolution and providing consumers with a variety of IoT experiences.”
Yoon, who has worked at the company since 1978, noted that Samsung would be working to help the industry establish IoT standards, and would be expanding its overseas alliances with other companies in order to drive the IoT forwards.
He will, of course, go into all the details in his CES speech, which will be delivered at the start of next week, on Monday 5 January.
Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the CEA, had previously said: “Samsung is widely-known for its disruptive technologies and business models, and has been one of the fastest growing CE brands in the world. Samsung amazes at each CES with its innovative products spanning the entire tech ecosystem. We welcome Boo-Keun Yoon back to the keynote stage for the 2015 CES.”
Samsung is targeting both the smart home and smart office sectors, and has been making acquisitions this year to that end, including snapping up SmartThings for around the $200 million (£130 million) mark.

Twitter shareholders on Tuesday voted in favor of Elon Musk’s deal to acquire the microblogging service for $44 billion (approximately Rs 3,49,800) according to a report. The results of the shareholder vote, announced on Tuesday, come a month before the upcoming legal battle between the Tesla CEO and Twitter, which will begin October 17 in the Delaware Chancery Court. Musk agreed to buy Twitter earlier this year, but tried to pull out of the deal in July.
On Tuesday, Reuters report that Twitter shareholders voted to approve Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s agreement to buy microblogging services. Musk has agreed to buy Twitter for $54.20 (about Rs 4,300) per share, much higher than Tuesday’s price of $43.20 (about Rs 3,400). The deadline to vote on the deal is Tuesday, and the result clears the way for the world’s richest man to buy the company.
However, the Tesla CEO has repeatedly stated that he does not want to continue the takeover, and has sent many letters to Twitter to end the deal. The most recent of these communications was last week, when Musk’s lawyers notification Twitter that he was not informed about the money pay to a former employee, alleged whistleblower Peiter Zatko. Twitter has negative claim that the payment violated the terms of the agreement.
Before the trial that began on October 17 at the Delaware Chancery Court, Musk licensed court to include Zatko’s charges against the company. Twitter’s former chief of security was accused that the company misled the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about the company’s security measures as part of a settlement in 2011. He also alleges that Twitter has serious security flaws affecting the company’s privacy. influence the foundation and that one or more employees have worked on behalf of foreign governments.
Back in July, Musk tried to back out of the deal to acquire Twitter, claim that he was given incorrect information about the number of spam or fake accounts on the company. The company sued the Tesla CEO in July, call his exit strategy “a hypercrisy model”. Twitter also before declare Musk is trying to “go slow” the test, which will begin next month.

“When will Sky finally make an outstanding original drama?”
“Why has British TV found it so difficult to make really effective use of black stars like Idris Elba and how can it do so?”
These are two questions I have asked at various times over the past decade. Both have been answered in the last weeks. What is surprising is that the answer to both was pretty much the same – personal projects created by leading black British actors.
Sky’s attempts at original drama have usually involved buying up established talent and throwing it together in the expectation of automatic success, usually in formats that have proven recently successful. TV, like the movies, is a copycat medium – if something is a success, then try to replicate it. This is the exact opposite of “originality”, but genuine originality has to come from somewhere and, in British TV, that has usually meant the BBC or Channel 4. Even ITV occasionally comes up with something new which it then attempts to replicate ad nauseam, a la Broadchurch, but Sky’s efforts to date have been utterly derivative, from Mad Dogs (2011-13), which threw four then “hot” actors together in a gangster plot which basically ripped off Sexy Beast, to Fortitude (2015-), with its attempt to merge Scandi-noir with the vogue for crime mysteries in enclosed communities.
Last year, Sky presented its most promising effort yet – Guerrilla (Sky Atlantic), which was well worth watching but lacked the vital ingredients to make it outstanding, as well as containing what I thought was an unsuitable and under-developed role for…..Idris Elba. But the solution was at hand, and it was to commission an original drama from one of the many black British stars who had found fame and success in the USA. Actually, Lennie James was not somebody whom British TV had not found a role for in the past – he was excellent in the first season of Line of Duty (BBC2, 2012) and had a few writing credits to his name, such as The Bill. But nothing prepared us for the impact of Save Me, just concluded on Sky Atlantic.
The plot of Save Me has several points of comparison to Channel 4’s Kiri, aired in January – a mixed-race girl goes missing and her estranged black father becomes involved in the search. It even has a sympathetic black female detective in common with the earlier piece, but there the two diverge, with Save Me investigating the ghastly world of organised paedophilia and the effect of the girl’s disappearance on her parents and their circles of friends and associates, and most particularly on her father, Nelly. Lennie plays Nelly, and the inversion of his name seems to indicate that this is maybe an alternative version of himself. He certainly inhabits the character totally and in turn creates an utterly memorable social milieu for the character to inhabit – the run-down estate, the pub, the gang of locals.
What strikes you the most is the strength of the writing and the scenes James has created, many of them searingly uncomfortable yet totally gripping. It reminded me of This Is England at its best and I can’t offer much higher praise than that, but it is its own thing, not a copy of anything else. That comparison is perhaps prompted by the casting of Stephen Graham, an actor whose mere presence makes an average script good, a good one great and a great one outstanding – and this is a great script. A great cast, too, also including fine work from Suranne Jones and Kerry Godliman, alongside Graham and the others, and a brief yet indelible cameo from Adrian Edmondson.
I did feel slightly uneasy about the ending (and please skip to the next para now if you haven’t seen it), partly because the way Nelly rescued the girl who was being auctioned seemed a little too easy (though the fact that it wasn’t his daughter after all made for a satisfactory conclusion, which emphasised his own obsession and paranoia over her disappearance) but mainly because of the way it leaves things open for a second season. I certainly think there is room for more stories about Nelly and the others, but a continuation of this particular plotline would be very hard to sustain, so I hope that doesn’t happen – mostly because it just wouldn’t be “original” any more.
Sky has a much better record in original comedy than drama, both in terms of providing a platform for innovative pieces like Julia Davis’ Hunderby (2012-15), Chris O’Dowd’s Moone Boy (2012-15) or the wonderfully surreal This is Jinsy (2011-14), and of commissioning new work involving established comic creations like Alan Partridge. So, they deserve great credit for realising that Idris Elba had the potential for comedy – not just performing it, but also creating it. Maybe it was those commercials he does for them which gave them the idea.
Elba’s creation, In the Long Run (Sky One), is based on his childhood in 1980s London and he plays Walter, the character representing his own father, in the series, much as Lenny Henry did in his own recreation of his seventies teenage years, Danny and the Human Zoo (BBC1, 2015). Another point of reference is Danny Baker’s series based on his memoirs of a seventies adolescence, Cradle to Grave (BBC2, 2015) – In the Long Run uses contemporary pop songs in much the same way. Elba shows a considerable gift for comedy, considering that his reputation is based on dramatic tough-guy roles, which I guess is why his previous British TV vehicle, Luther (BBC), was just that – a creation designed to showcase him, rather than use his talents in something more substantial.
The council estate where the characters live is presented and populated in much the same loving detail as the one in Save Me (I particularly like the balcony singer, who gives both atmosphere and commentary). Unlike Save Me, though, most of the main cast is black (playing immigrants from Sierra Leone), with the exception of Bill Bailey as Walter’s friend Bagpipes and Kellie Shirley as his wife Kirsty. This is an excellent role for Bailey – a wonderful stand-up but hitherto underused as a comic actor. Bailey and Elba are particularly good in their scenes together. The racial politics of the time are a constant presence and reference point, without becoming overwhelming.
As I hinted in my last blog, Save Me goes straight on to my running shortlist for the best of 2018 (and is certainly the best drama on that list so far), but In the Long Run still has to be seen as something which is highly promising and has potential for development – it started a little unevenly, but episode 4 (the engagement party) was a classic and, by the time it reached the sixth and final episode the characters and their relationships were fully established and it had become highly engaging and enjoyable. Definitely one to keep an eye on in the long run.
