CICADA's eponymous debut album, mixed by legendary techno producer and DJ Oscar Mulero, offers a dreamlike journey in which electronic and acoustic instruments act as vehicles used to traverse a path full of crossroads and ever changing slopes.
Bridging gaps between media, disciplines, techniques and technologies, their carefully devised sound offers a mapless exploration through elements and milestones that bolster our most hermetic past with our most cryptic present.
Picture Steve Hauschildt’s flotation ambient. Picture the post-techno school of Dominic Fernow. And above all, picture the nuances of minimal techno and a a splash of sheer analog sound.
Engrossing drones, winding viola loops and tight polyrhythms form an invitation to transit between different states of consciousness, in an intense itinerary that ranges from abstraction and introspection to ecstatic, atavic dance.
Sara Muñiz: viola, piano, vocals
Jose A. Rilla: synths, piano, vocals.
Mix by Oscar Mulero
Mastering by Carlos Koschitzky

Our media led by BBC try to simplify the latest diplomatic crisis in the Middle East – which led to severing of diplomatic relations between Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Iran ( with two other countries following the Saudis action)- into Shia-Sunni sectarian rivalry resulting from the execution of Iran backed Shia cleric. This is a load of nonsense which leads to misunderstanding and misleading public opinion. It is far more complicated as many forces who adhere to the Shia faith (Morocco shia sects and those in North Africa nd Sudan) back KSA, while trends and forces who are devote Sunnis are backing Iran against the Saudis (Turkey for example is Sunni, so are Hamas and many Palestinian factions as well as the Muslim Brotherhood are all Sunni hardliners but are against Saudi Arabia especially in Yemen but are also against Assad in Syria.

Who to fight First, ISIL terror entity or the Syrian dictator… is there really a choice for Britain? we should get our priorities right and list the dangers in descending order if we were to answer. The House of commons vote last week ( Dec 2,2015) by a majority of 174 to back Prime Minister David Cameron’s motion to extend the RAF mission into areas controlled by the terrorist entity the Islamic state ( or ISIl – the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) has accelerated a legitimate debate about priorities and who is the real enemy and the tactical realignment within the a larger strategy as with whom should the United kingdom and her allies. Some who understand history and reality of the region and Islamism correctly argue that the Islamic State terror entity is a real danger that we must fight. Others with motives hard to understand, or being anti the idea of extending air-campaign to or just have little experience, argue that we should get rid of Assad regime in Syria first before fighting isil, which is utter nonsense
There has been some nonsense argument from the left wing anti-war or stop the war and others against extending the RAF mission into Syria to destroy the Islamic State Terror bases.
here is an example from BBC radio4 Today programme this morning at 08;55 . John Humphrys interviewed BBC security hack Frank Gardner on specific question: will attacks on ISIL in Syria have backlash here in UK and expose us to more attacks like 7/7 type?
Gradenr adamant if we bomb reqqa ISIL would attack london because of the propaganda value – which is at best guess work no fact based analysis. A security military expert interviewed also on the same item refuted Gardner’s guess. He told him it doesn’t mean that attacking ISIL in Syria would some how give the terrorist another means to increase their capabilities and enhance their tools to carry out new attacks more than what they are capable of doing now. He also quoted congress report how USA drone attacks reduced. Alqaeda capabilities to do us harm and carry out more attacks.
Gardener changed the argument to an issue (not mentioned in question) to say a British A british pilot might fall into their hands ( even though pilots are already flying ISIL areas in Iraq) and bombs might hit civilians (although the question was: will attacking reqqa put us in more risk in london )
Pat McFaden Labour, Wolverhampton South East, totally belittled this view as ” children fantasy dividing world into victims (Muslims) and perpetrators (the west) and it absolves the terrorists from responsibility. He argues it is also not a new military intervention, it is an extension of action already taking place .
First Night – National Theatre ( unusual to have a theatre review here but our worlmedia website is down for technical problems, so it is here temporarily )
Labelled by American newspapers (like the New York Times) A murder mystery, “Evening at the Talk House” by American actor and playwright Wallace Shawn ( world premier opened at the National Theatre Dorfman Theatre Tuesday 24 November ) wasn’t certainly seen this way by our reviewer. This very well produced (not all the acting on same level as the sympathetic tight production by director Ian Rickson) is a mixture of streams running into wider emotional valley. A subtle political statement on how far things can go when futuristic society self-righteous authorities can take individuals out for the general good; ruining parallel some human psychology on how individual behaviour can vibrate from speaking one’s inner thoughts, to that in two-hander conversation, to a discussion argument in a group, as well as how much our present scares us that the raft we cling into would be our memories of a safer past.
The Turkmen Tribes who captured the two Russian pilots killed them on the spot instead of handing them over to their Turkish backers. They have been aiding ISIL in smuggling supplies. Russian are fighting Islamic State terror group and attacking supply lines managed by the Turkmen in the area of the borders where the SU24 was shot down . Many questions on the Turkish version of events.
The circle which Our western leaders dont seem to be able to square is: They claim that a US led coalition of 9 nation fighting Islamic State terrorists in Iraq and Syria (without much success) by an air campaign, now Russia is in hitting targets and destroying heavy ISIL weapons, the western leaders are complaining and condemning Russia. In fact Russia has a strategy of preserving Syria geographical integrity as one nation; while western policy ( deliberate or misguided) is tearing Syria apart which Russia sees asagainst its long term interest . America, EU and our UK Government, who have no coherent strategy on Syria ( I am being kind here to the west) ; now Russia, which do have a long term strategy and clear tactical objectives in the short term, decided to take action against the most menacing threat facing civilisation today, namely Islamists terrorism. The Islamic State terrorism which is not confined to the Levant ( Islamic State in Iraq and Levant ISIL) but is a world threat as this entity is modeled on ( and seriously emulating) the seventh and eighth centuries Islamic conquests with the aim of establising a neo-Islamic empire they call a worldwide caliphate, which recognises no national borders ( only idiots won’t realise those objectives especially when they changed the name from ISIL into just “Islamic Stare” ), a danger of Which President Putin has been aware for over a decade. He banned Muslim Bortherhood and other similar organisations who are a front to terrorist groups long time ago, while here in the west we still deal with such vile Islamo-fascist groups.Now Russia is taking genuine action, USA and UK governments are displaying first class hypocrisy as well as making foolish statements. A coalition led by the United States declaring they are fighting the Islamic state by an air campaign for most of this year; yet they are condemning Russia for taking action targeting those very terrorists… so are USA led coalition fighting the terrorists or not?
Looking into the horror of the Islamic State, the jihadists movements ( almost all born from the womb of the Muslim Brotherhood – despite British left, BBC and the CIA & the Foreign Office attempts to change historic facts-) I wrote this piece , the obituary of Egyptian Television Muslim evangelist Sheikh Sharawi 15 years ago upon his death in 1999. .. Revisiting it in a research I am doing for a new book, I realised how many of the predictions came true.. hence I out it here again. I didn’t change anything or update it all.. I only out links to names and events with which people might not be too familiar.
Sheikh Mohammed Metwali Sharawi: Islamisation by Stealth 19 June 1999, the Independent Newspaper, London
Prime Minister David Cameron is to tackle the immigration policy designed to help millions of working people by putting new laws to control immigration una speech later this morning as part of proposed new bill the Queen speech state opening of parliament, next week, Downing Street sources reveal. But not many are convinced it will help address the main issue of influx of migrants from EU lowering wages in Britain
Here is an example of either amateurish lazy below standard journalism, or a blatant bias by producers editors and a below standard under trained hacks who make up their minds before reporting a story.I am citing a radio report, broadcast on bbc radio four 13:00 (12:00 GMT) on Saturday 16 May 2015 reporting on sentencing former president Morsi of Egypt alongside other defendants. ..

Michigan Prisons To Provide Halal Meals Under Settlement With ACLU
The Michigan Department of Corrections has agreed to provide special halal meals to Muslim inmates.
Under a court-approved settlement reached with the American Civil Liberties Union, state prisons will also allow Muslim inmates to attend religious observances that may conflict with work assignments and expunge any disciplinary action taken against those who refused work due to their faith.
Michigan had provided Kosher meals to the state's Jewish inmates but had not made similar accommodations Muslim convicts.

In search of a mouthwatering vegan refried beans recipe? Simply follow these effortless step-by-step instructions to savor the perfect Mexican taste, with no sacrifices necessary. It’s a wholesome, vegan, and gluten-free option -20 min. or less if you use canned beans.
About refried beans
Refried beans are a must-have in Mexican cuisine, not only for their delicious taste but also for their versatility in enhancing various dishes. They can be utilized in numerous ways to add flavor and texture to your favorite meals.
These are superfoods that are simple to prepare and always taste amazing.
What does refried beans mean?
The term “refried beans” is a translation from Spanish and is an integral part of Mexican cuisine. Although you might get the impression that the beans are fried twice because of the word “refried”, this is not the case.
The name comes from the Spanish verb “refreír”, which means to fry something intensely or for a prolonged period of time. In the preparation of refried beans, the beans are first cooked until soft.
They are then mashed and “refríen”, that is, they are slowly fried in fat (usually lard or oil) along with other ingredients such as onion and garlic. Therefore, “refried beans” are basically “frijoles bien fritos” well cooked beans or “frijoles machacados y fritos” mashed and fried beans.
Nutritional benefits of refried beans
Not only do refried beans make for a tasty addition to numerous Mexican dishes, but they also provide a wealth of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Beans are considered a crucial component of a balanced and nutritious diet.
Refried beans can sometimes be made with unhealthy ingredients like vegetable shortening or lard, but using olive oil or other vegetable oils can make them healthier.
Ingredients for making refried beans
- Beans You can use black beans, pinto beans, or whatever you have at home. You can also use canned beans.
- Olive oil or vegetable oil, I prepare them with both types of oil, but I like them better with olive oil.
- Chopped onion
Tips for buying canned beans
Check the ingredients: Read the label to find exactly what’s in the beans. Opt for cans containing as few ingredients as possible. It is best if they only have salt.
Low sodium: Many canned beans contain high levels of sodium. Look for low-sodium options to keep your salt intake under control.
BPA-free: Look for brands that specify that their cans are BPA-free.
Compare prices and brands: Don’t be afraid to try different brands and find the one that offers the best value for money.
Organic beans: I think it is worth it for the environmental and health benefits.
How to make refried beans step by step
- Cook the beans: In a large pot, add the beans and enough water to cover them. Cook over low heat until soft.
- Sauté the onion: In a large frying pan, add the oil and the onion. Fry until golden brown.
- Mix the ingredients: Add the cooked beans to the pan, salt, and mash them with a bean masher until you get the desired texture. You can add a little water or vegetable broth if they dry out. Remember that when the beans cool, they dry out a little.
- Adjust the flavor: Taste the beans and add salt to taste.
Varieties of refried beans
Although the most common recipe for refried beans is made with pinto or black beans, you can also use other types of beans, such as red beans or even white beans.
How to serve and enjoy refried beans
Refried beans are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways. They are the perfect accompaniment to tacos dorados, enchiladas, scrambled tofu, and other typical Mexican dishes. They are also excellent as a filling for burritos and quesadillas.
4 Reasons to make refried beans at home
Control over ingredients: you can opt for high-quality, organic, or specialty ingredients according to your dietary preferences, such as olive oil instead of lard for a healthier or vegan version.
Authentic flavor: Although canned refried beans are convenient, they often do not have the same authentic taste as homemade refried beans. When making them at home, you can adjust the flavors according to your preferences, adding the spices and seasonings you like best.
Cost: Making refried beans at home can be more economical than buying them already prepared. Dried beans are generally cheaper and more yielding, and the other ingredients required are also quite affordable.
Texture. You can give them the perfect texture. In my house we like our refried beans looser, we don’t like them dry.
Spices: Cumin, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and oregano taste good with beans.
Tomatoes: Fresh or canned tomatoes can add a touch of acidity and freshness. Be sure to chop them well before adding them or stew, or serve them with red sauce.
Cheese: If you are not making a vegan version, add shredded cheese to your refried beans.
Sour cream: A touch of sour cream on your refried beans can add a rich creaminess. If you are making a vegan version, plant-based sour creams are available.

Link up here: Time to Party!
The challenge I gave myself for the month of March was to quilt all the blue sections of this old quilt. I lacked the confidence to do so back then, because the beige thread would actually show. So I stayed with the white sections, and left the darker blocks alone until I felt I was ready.
Then of course that never happened. It took a naughty dog to push this quilt back under my nose.
Here’s the block she chewed up, all patched and quilted down.
And it took participation in the monthly challenge to keep my nose to the grindstone to quilt up the rest of it. There were 36 of those triangles, and 34 of the smaller ones in the border. I hadn’t realized how much of this quilt was unfinished when I chose this project to complete.
It was boring and tedious. This quilt was made before I acquired a Pfaff Grandquilter on a frame. Now I can pantograph across quilts with no wrestling involved. Here’s some baby quilts I breezed through this month. They took less time than the OMG challenge.
But this old quilt brought me back to the old days of tugging and twisting under my regular sewing machine needle. (I can’t do straight lines well on the Pfaff.)
A view from the backside. I like the texture, puffy and all. I like the angles going in all directions. Most of all, I like that it’s DONE.
2 thoughts on “Done and Dusted”
Done, AND looking good! Your pantograph work looks great, too. I never used to enjoy doing them, but I’ve come to appreciate their worth for my donation quilts, children’s quilts, and other things that need to be finished, even if not perfect. I think your lines look great!
Thank you Susan.😊

Eggstatic – stroboscopic patterns for Easter eggs
Last year we did an Easter video with an EggBot drawing various mathematically generated patterns. They were inspired by equations describing Spirograph and harmonograph. The video was quite popular so we decided to take it a bit further this year. The patterns are now calculated in such a way that when rotated under a stroboscopic light of suitable frequency or when recorded by a camera, they start to animate. It is kind of zoetrope--- early device for animation. Eggs were painted using EggBot (designed by Bruce Shapiro as open hardware and available as a kit from EvilMadScientist). To draw on eggs, we used standard permanent markers and an electro kistka with bee wax followed by dying. Eggs are rotated at a constant speed, special for each pattern, by a brushless motor. No computer graphics tricks are used in the video. Happy Easter.

Request independent Congressional investigation of February 2014 TEDD program adoptions
This petition made change with 2,427 supporters!
On Sunday, February 14, the New York Post published an article entitled “Lost Dogs of War”, addressing the blatant failure of the US Army to reunite handlers with Military Working Dogs (MWD) from the Tactical Explosive Detector Dog (TEDD) program. http://nypost.com/2016/02/14/troops-betrayed-as-army-dumps-hundreds-of-heroic-war-dogs/ This directly violated both Congress’ wishes (10 USC §2583) and the Department of Defense (DoD) policy: “Title 10 US Code 2583 gives priority first to civilian Law Enforcement Agencies, then to prior handlers....”http://www.37trw.af.mil/shared/…/document/AFD-120611-035.pdf
The American Public expects our military to respect their commitment to these handlers and to us. These dogs deserve to be more than favors handed out to friends and family. Based on the law, handlers should have had the first chance to adopt their dog when released from working service; that legal requirement was ignored. In a manner of speaking, I see this promise as a term and condition of their employment, made by our Representatives in honor of these soldiers’ bravery and dedication to service. However, we now know that Richard A. Vargus, OPMG MWD Program Manager (GS-14 and retired LTC), and Robert G. Squires, TEDD Program Coordinator (contractor), not only did not notify handlers of the adoption event, but handed out dogs to friends, family, and business associates. To the best of my knowledge, I have heard of not one dog, not adopted by a law enforcement agency, which went to someone not tied in some way to Vargus or Squires.
Squires told the local paper that his technique to rid himself of dogs was to contact his sister-in-law, whose friends took almost two dozen of the dogs, with many of these adopters refusing to speak to the handlers or, even, to report on their dog’s health. http://www.kinston.com/article/20141108/News/311089993/ None of these local adopters had an official home-check or verification of their ability to care for the MWD’s; all that was required was a five-dollar bill to pay the notary. The contractor, Davis-Paige Management Systems LLC, received over $7 million under Contract W911SR10D0021 for the well-being of the dogs, but no one considered that these war-heroes, many of whom have Canine PTSD, deserved to be retired with the handler who understands them best. Each of the TEDD dogs is estimated to have saved between 150 and 200 lives; this is not the way to treat our heroes, even if they do have four legs.
The Army claims to have conducted a “self-investigation,” but based on the continued claims of innocence two years after the event, how can anyone believe justice will be their goal? Also, it is my understanding, various members of the military have claimed the pups are “Contract Working Dogs,” not under DoD purview, which is false. OPMG conducted the adoption; these dogs were, unequivocally, MWD’s. Plus, the military, in some cases, asserts the victims, the handlers, are the problem because the Army could not locate a previously submitted “adoption packet.” Of course, they do not reveal that, according to many of the handlers, the “packet” was not available to many of them, nor were there any clear instructions addressing where and who should receive the packet, if any did ferret one out. Neither Congress nor the DoD policy predicates priority of handlers on an “adoption packet.” Additionally, this argument is without merit, because those who did submit “packets” were also ignored. Just as all Squires’ friends and family were able to complete adoption forms on the day of the adoption, handlers should have also been afforded that courtesy. Even more egregious is that if Leo Gonnering (a retired Major, former MP), who was working at the Pentagon for his contractor employer the day of the public adoption (per Gonnering's official email), adopted a dog without even being required to attend, and as stated in the NY Post article, Squires provided special benefits and favors to Gonnering.
My request is that Congress conduct an independent investigation of this event and work to make this right for the TEDD program handlers. I would suggest that you initiate that review, questioning the legal authority of Squires to sign as the “Agent/Representative of the US Government.” His apparent breach of duty and conflict of interest as a DoD contractor to us, the American Public, his contracting firm’s employer, should be the first focus of attention, in my opinion.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Abstract Leaf nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations constrain photosynthetic and metabolic processes, growth, and productivity of plants. Their stoichiometry and scaling relationship regulate allocation of N and P from subcellular to organism even ecosystem levels, and are crucial to modelling plant growth and nutrient cycles in terrestrial ecosystems. Prior work has revealed a general biogeographic pattern of leaf N and P stoichiometric relationships and shown that leaf N scales roughly as 2/3 power of P. However, determining whether and how leaf N and P stoichiometry, especially their scaling exponent, change with functional groups and environmental conditions requires further verification. In this study we compiled a global data set and documented the global leaf N and P concentrations and the N:P ratios by functional group, climate zone, and continent. The global overall mean leaf N and P concentrations were 18.9 mg g−1 and 1.2 mg g−1, respectively, with significantly higher concentrations in herbaceous than woody plants (21.72 mg g−1 vs. 18.22 mg g−1 for N; and 1.64 mg g−1 vs. 1.10 mg g−1 for P). Both leaf N and P showed higher concentrations at high than low latitudes. Among six continents, Europe had the highest N and P concentrations (20.79 and 1.54 mg g−1) and Oceania had the smallest values (10.01 and 0.46 mg g−1). These numerical values may be used as a base for the comparison of other individual studies. Further, we found that the scaling exponent varied significantly across different functional groups, latitudinal zones, ecoregions, and sites. The exponents of herbaceous and woody plants were 0.659 and 0.705, respectively, with significant latitudinal patterns decreasing from tropical to temperate to boreal zones. At sites with a sample size ≥ 10, the values fluctuated from 0.366 to 1.928, with an average of 0.841. Several factors including the intrinsic attributes of different life-forms, P-related growth rates and relative nutrient availability of soils likely account for the inconstant exponents of leaf N vs. P scaling relationships.

International Festival photographer
You are here
Each year the International Festival and The Morton Charitable Trust join forces to award an emerging photographer the role of Edinburgh International Festival Photographer.
Recruitment for the 2016 International Festival Photographer is now complete. Please look out for future opportunities.
Good quality photography is one of the cornerstones of the International Festival’s visual identity. By capturing the International Festival through strong, sophisticated and impactful images, the Photographer aids the organisation by representing the inspirational artists and cultural experiences that the International Festival presents. Each year, we look for a photographer who can capture images that are sophisticated and impactful and communicate with energy the experience of the International Festival.
The position allows the photographer to develop their contacts with a range of media outlets, artists, venues and agencies throughout the International Festival period, providing a strong launch pad for their future career in the profession.
The role is for an emerging photographer based or studying in Scotland and is supported by a £3,500 award.
The Photographer works closely with International Festival staff to capture all aspects of our events, giving them access to artists, staff, rehearsals, audiences and events to bring together a rich portfolio of images. The Photographer explores the International Festival behind the scenes – attending rehearsals, capturing social events, documenting artists in the city, and witnessing first hand the work that goes in to making the International Festival happen, as well as capturing the audience experience and the buzz across the city throughout August.
The Photographer’s work is showcased online and is promoted across Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Instagram and more. An exhibition of their work is mounted each autumn at The Hub, Edinburgh’s Festival Centre.
Our 2015 photographer, Alex Aitchison, photographed artists including Robert Lepage, Simon McBurney, FFS, Lang Lang, Sylvie Guillem and Juliette Binoche, as well as countless other backstage and front of house moments throughout the International Festival. The results of Alex’s work are showcased in his Re:Create exhibition at The Hub, which runs through to spring 2016 and is free to attend.
Reflecting on his experience as Edinburgh International Festival Photographer, Alex said: ‘Working for the International Festival provided me with really valuable experience and contacts, and allowed me to showcase a wide range of skills to future clients. Having a keen interest in how photography is used online and through social media as a way of sharing both personal and collective experiences, being able to capture how a whole range of people experience and take part in the International Festival, was a fantastic opportunity through which I met and photographed an amazing spectrum of people and places, which the Festival could then showcase and share online.'
Speaking about the role, Fergus Linehan, Festival Director commented: ‘This is a fantastic opportunity for a new photographer looking to gain experience in a new career. Not only do they have an access all areas pass, they have the chance to make relationships and grow their profile with a huge range of creative and exciting people, both artists and media, taking part in the International Festival. The International Festival must thank The Morton Charitable Trust for their commitment in supporting this post, which benefits both the International Festival and the photographer hugely. We look forward to discovering another new talent in 2016 and taking them with us on an incredibly exciting adventure.’
The Edinburgh International Festival Photographer is supported by The Morton Charitable Trust.

Grief Tending Workshop - Canon Yurt
Loss is a universal human experience. Whether it is a loss of a dear one, a relationship, a home, or health—grief is the response. Many avoid their grief, believing there isn’t a place or time to support it. When grief gets pushed underground, it saps our energy. The irony is that the very feeling we fear can be the doorway to healing, transformation, and being fully alive.
Take the time to open the door and tend to your grief while being held in the nurturing environment of the Canon Yurt. In this one-day workshop, we will use life-affirming creativity, sensing into the body, ritual, and writing to encourage and support transformative movement through the grief you have been carrying—no matter how long it has been.
Participants’ experiences are enriched through witnessing and being witnessed by other group members. The day concludes with a collaborative ritual that honors each person’s grief journey.
Jennifer Allen, LMFT, ATR-BC and local author of Bone Knowing: A True Story of Coming to Life in the Face of Impending Loss will facilitate this journey.
Please bring a journal (optional) & bag lunch.

Learn How to Play Tabletop RPGs
If you’ve heard about Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop RPGs but don’t know how to get started, this site is for you. It’s also full of useful info for veteran gamers, from game listings to tips on how to improve your gaming skills.
Learn & Teach
Tabletop roleplaying is a social activity that melds two of humanity’s ancient pastimes – playing games and telling stories. While the rules to any tabletop RPG have to be learned, once you start playing, there’s an amazing familiarity to it. For many newcomers, playing Apocalypse World, Call of Cthulhu, D&D, Pathfinder, Shadowrun, or any other of dozens of games becomes second nature quite rapidly. That said, as with any rewarding activity there are always more techniques to learn and more ways to level up your gameplay.
Lots of Games
Dungeons & Dragons kicked off the hobby way back in 1974, and has always been the game most associated with tabletop roleplaying. But there are dozens of tabletop RPGs to choose from (hundreds if you count out of print games). The games showcased here were selected for the range of genres, play styles, and themes they cover.
Popular Blog Posts
The Unpossible Journeys blog is infrequently updated but I do strive to write posts that have more than fleeting value. If you find a post particularly helpful, please spread the word. If you would like to see me write about something I haven’t yet covered, please let me know.
We’re All Learning
I’ve been playing tabletop RPGs since the early 1980s, and I’m still learning new roleplaying techniques. One of the things that makes this hobby so exciting is that it’s always changing. There are new games, new mechanics (the underpinnings of a game’s rules), and even new ways of playing online and in person.
We’re also in the midst of a new Golden Age surpassing the original heyday of roleplaying. There’s never been a better time to jump in, so pick up some dice, grab your friends, find a game, and get started!

Primary Teacher Trainee Perspectives on a Male-Only Support Group: Moving Male Trainee Teachers beyond the ‘Freak Show’
This paper reports on male trainees’ reactions to a pilot year intervention in which a male-only support group was set up. The participants were 12 male trainees. Overall, male trainees’ responses indicated that the introduction of the male-only group was an effective strategy to address the issue of being vulnerable and feeling ‘isolated’ in a female-dominated environment.

Promoting Teacher and School Development through Co-enquiry: Developing Interactive Whiteboard use in a ‘Dialogic Classroom’
The authors explore the relationship between the use of interactive whiteboard (IWB) and the pre-existing and developing pedagogies of three teachers in a teacher–researcher collaborative group in UK. The authors focused on one teacher from this group and considered how the developing understandings of her became evident in her practice and influenced the group’s deliberations about uses of the IWB. This research indicates that teachers with approaches grounded in a good understanding of how to promote children’s learning will gradually and iteratively integrate the use of a new technology to serve their well-founded pedagogical intentions.

This study explored and reformulated definitions of classroom dialogue—in which teachers and students exchange, evaluate, and build on ideas—in the context of interactive whiteboard use. This article focuses on the collaborative theory-building process itself, whose aim was to exploit insights derived from research to stimulate and inform thinking, guide principled development of new classroom practices, and refine the theory. Three university researchers and three United Kingdom teachers, along with their students aged 10–14, took part in the research

This is a very well-argued and somehow entertaining essay on not just Lolita but the disgusting American phenomenon of culturally endorsed pedophilia. I've learned a lot so far. Thank you for making this podcast.
Dec 20 2020
I vaguely remember Lolita (the book) as grim and unsettling. This podcast is a fascinating and unflinching look at what it is and means.
Grim but important.
Dec 15 2020
Very interesting. I remember my friend in middle school being really into this book and I felt like I was missing out, since it was a book for "cool girls".
Dec 14 2020
Excellent research and story telling. The voice work and editing make it a difficult listen. More of an important listen than an enjoyable one, mainly due to the increasingly odd vocal choices for readers. Sigmund Freud as some kind of southern gentleman? WTF!? He was Austrian and his voice has been recorded...Kinsey, an American, is given an upper class British accent, let alone the voice contributors who sound like they are unedited or just unprofessional.
Nov 25 2020
Finally, a deep dive into the problematic literary masterpiece Lolita. Lolita is probably the most misunderstood novel of the 20th c. Thanks for bringing this topic out of the closet. Looking forward to each podcast.
Nov 24 2020
Wow.... The first episode alone made me go pick up my copy of Nabokov's novel and voraciously and ferociously begin a re-read. The podcast I didn't know I needed.

Jamie Loftus has done it again, brilliant as ever


I'm thrilled to announce that I've been selected as the very first Artist in Residence at Tweed, Canada's largest licensed producer of medical cannabis. This is by all accounts the first artist in residence program at any cannabis company worldwide. As a longtime advocate for the sheer versatility of this plant, and as a proud artist, you can imagine what an honour this is. Especially at a time when we see cannabis legalization turn a corner from pipe dream to a multi-billion-dollar industry.
There is most certainly a place for a bit of art and fun in all this, and I'm ready to bring it.
Here is the company's official press release.
Though Tweed is headquartered in Smiths Falls, Ontario, and housed in Canada's sprawling former Hershey's Chocolate factory, the year-long photography-based residency will see me continue to reside at home in Montreal (perhaps you were wondering if I'd have to live in a giant marijuana factory - I don't), all the while affording me a budget and mandate to travel to various cities across Canada and worldwide to create exciting new photo series of my own creation. Some of these photo project will be marijuana and hemp related while others will be more general in theme, taking their inspiration from the colourful world around us.
|The Tweed factory in Smiths Falls, ON|
I stayed in touch with the team at Tweed ever since and they loved my idea for the company to take on an artist in residence. I'm incredibly grateful to them for this unprecedented opportunity.
Extra special thanks also go out to my old pals Paul Flicker and Andy Nulman for their very kind letters of reference on my behalf. Andy gracefully began his letter to Tweed with:
And the rest, as they say, is history.

Tweed recently entered into a business venture with hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg. As part of my residency, I was invited down to Toronto by the company to photograph Snoop at his concert and at a private Tweed-sponsored after-party at which he was DJ'ing. Quite the experience, to say the least. Here are a couple of shots from the night. I'll be releasing more shots from this night throughout the year.

Huh?! New website?! Why yes... I built a brand new site and it's already loaded up with many photo series for you to see! Have a look around. EzSez.com will remain the go-to place for all my news and EzraSoiferman.com will feature in-depth looks at my photo projects, info on my ongoing filmmaking work and much more.
As we like to say at EzraSoiferman.com, "Come for the flicks, stay for the pix!"
Finally, I'm also now on Twitter. Follow @EzraSoif today.
OK, please enjoy my new short video "The Walls of Montreal", an entirely new way to appreciate this city I love, thanks to the art of so many truly incredible mural artists.
Regards to all from Montreal,
Documentary filmmaker and photographer


Several Perth city centre streets were locked down by police on Saturday night before a man was later taken to hospital.
A large number of officers and several vehicles were spotted on Kinnoull Street and nearby Foundry Lane and Union Lane.
Riot police and two ambulances were also spotted at the scene outside a block of flats, having been called at 7pm.
The roads were sealed off in several places whilst the incident was ongoing.
Eyewitnesses say police stayed for several hours, leaving at about 12.30am on Sunday morning.
One man said he saw as many as 12 police vehicles on the street.
He said: “There was a huge police presence, and a bit concerning a week after the unfortunate incident around the corner in South Methven Street last week.
“Police seemed to be reassuring people who asked what was going on and saying it wasn’t as serious as last Saturday evening.
“There must have been a dozen police vehicles between what was on Kinnoull Street, Foundry Lane and on North Methven Street. There were a couple ambulance service incident response vans and a fire engine sitting near by.
“It’s a fairly quiet back street, so wouldn’t have made much difference to traffic but I did see police having to escort some older residents through the scene to get back to their homes.
“There looked to be seven or eight riot officers all geared up, helmets on, carrying shields and going in with the so called big red key. Not something you expect to see in a quiet street like that.”
A fire engine was also parked nearby as part of the emergency service response.
One appliance was sent, having been called by police.
Police attend incident in Kinnoull Street
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “The call came in from police at 7.47pm.
“We were called to assist them with a police incident. The crew were just standing by.
“They were there until just after midnight.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said a person was taken to hospital following the incident.
They said: “Around 7pm on Saturday police were called to Foundry Lane, Perth, following concerns for a person.
“Officers attended and no criminality was established, and there was no threat to the wider public.
“Emergency services were in the surrounding areas until the incident was resolved.”

Our Ocean’s Cosmic Origin
Most of the Earth’s surface is covered in water, half of which may be older than the Sun itself.
The origin of the Earth’s water – the source of life on our planet and likely off of it – is a wellspring of debate. For a long time, our abundant oceans were attributed to comets, which may have delivered water to the surface after our planet cooled. Recently, astronomers at JPL concluded that comets are an unlikely source for the oceans, leaving asteroids or even small planets at the outskirts of the solar system as the top contenders for water delivery to early Earth. However, that doesn’t answer the more fundamental question: where did that water come from?
“We sought to understand where the water in comets and elsewhere came from originally,” said astronomer Ilse Cleeves, lead author on the paper in Science. “The Earth likely formed ‘dry’ – without water initially – but was later supplied with water ice by asteroids and perhaps some amount of cometary material. We wanted to understand where that reservoir of water originated.”
The cosmic origin of Earth’s water came to light after Cleeves, whose work focuses on the molecules the make up the Solar System, met cosmochemist Conel Alexander. Alexander studies asteroids that have fallen to Earth in order to understand the materials that make up the galaxy. Together, Cleeves and Alexander went on a quest to sort out the origin of the Solar System’s H20 – which, it turns out, is more like HDO.
Normal hydrogen, H, is a lonely proton. Heavy hydrogen, D, is a proton and a neutron. When heavy hydrogen joins with oxygen, the result is heavy water, HDO. According to Cleeves’ results, there is more HDO in comets and on Earth than can be accounted for by the formation of our planetary disk.
“The clue here,” said Alexander, “is the D/H ratio of the water. The D/H ratio of water in comets, meteorites, the Earth, Saturn’s Moons Enceladus and Titan are all much more deuterium-rich that the bulk solar composition.”
This ratio of heavy hydrogen to light hydrogen (D/H) in various places throughout the Solar System allowed Cleeves and Alexander to make a model of our water’s origin that explains what we see today when we study oceans, asteroids and comets. The model hinges on an important difference: where heavy water should be found versus where it actually is found.
Extremely cold temperatures like those at the edge of Solar System drive the formation of heavy water, while warmer climates near the planets leave the odds of finding light water, H20, much higher. According to Cleeves, strong solar winds should have shielded large portions of the coalescing Solar System, making the formation of heavy water near Earth and the gas giants much less likely. Yet, when we look, the heavy water is here, there and everywhere. The conclusion: our heavy water didn’t arise from the same disk that gave rise to the Sun, but rather travelled here from afar.
“We found that there simply weren’t enough energetic ionizing sources in the cold gas of disks to synthesize heavy water,” said Cleeves, “It had to have come from elsewhere, and the only other source is the cold interstellar gas that formed the Sun. “
By starting with an estimate of how much heavy water could have formed around our young Sun and moving forward in time, Alexander and Cleeves’ model proved that some, if not a majority, of our water didn’t come from around here.
“We estimated that ≥7 % and as much as 30-50% of the Earth’s water could have been interstellar,” said Alexander, “while for comets it is ≥14% and as high as 100%.”
How and when heavy water that pre-dates the Solar System travelled here has yet to be determined, but some good data may soon emerge. In a few weeks time, the Rosetta mission is set to directly sample a comet with its lander Philae. If that mission succeeds, before the year is out we may have direct evidence of how much HDO a comet contains. This will hone our understanding the predictive native of models like Cleeves’ and Alexanders’. For now, estimates provided by their paper suggest that perhaps all of the water in comets is cosmic – derived from molecular clouds in-between solar systems, rather than local in origin.
So what does this mean for life outside the Solar System?
“It is remarkable that water survived the entire process of stellar birth,” Cleeves told Astrobio, “to then be incorporated into the planetary bodies in the solar system,”
As Alexander sees it, so much water surviving the birth of our Sun improves the odds of life evolving elsewhere in the Universe.
“Since the Solar System seems fairly typical, this indicates that some interstellar water and organic matter would survive the formation of most solar systems,” Alexander told Astrobio.
“Many people have speculated that the organic matter in comets and asteroids helped kick start life. If that organic material had an interstellar heritage, then most forming planetary systems who have had that same ‘soup’ of organic material available.”
This research was supported by the NSF, the Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship, NASA Astrobiology, NASA Cosmochemistry and NASA.
