The Northgate Commerce District drew a crowd — most of them from outside Sunbury — to last week’s Sunbury Village Council meeting.
A public hearing for a zoning change — as well as the first reading of an ordinance for the change — was on council’s agenda last Wednesday.
Representing Northgate were developer Pat Shively, attorney Glenn Dugger and Greg Chillog of the landscape development firm EDGE.
Members of the public present were from the Estates at Cheshire, located immediately south of the 250 acres where Northgate Commerce District and a proposed southern Interstate 71 interchange will be built. Chris Rinehart of Rinehart Legal Services was in attendance, speaking for the Estates at Cheshire residents.
The Ohio Department of Transportation has determined that I-71 interchange improvements west of Sunbury would be south of the existing Routes 36/37 interchange. An “intersection modification feasibility study” is underway. A southern I-71 interchange would be in the vicinity of the abandoned ODOT weigh station south of the existing interchange.
Shively and his Northgate Center partners recently received a nod of approval from members of the Village Planning & Zoning Commission for a change from agricultural zoning to a planned commercial district zone for 250 acres of the 628 acres recently annexed into the village. Annexations during the past year extend the village as far west as 3 B’s and K Road.
Northgate’s zoning change request is for an initial commercial development east of I-71 that would connect to the village by a new road built entirely on recently annexed land — Sunbury Parkway.
“There will be uniform landscaping, uniform signage and a freeway-type commercial district developed using best practices, with standards above and beyond what’s in Sunbury zoning,” Dugger said. “Sub Area B, next to the Estates at Cheshire, has additional setbacks and height standards. This is a very comprehensive attempt on our part to deliver a quality result.”
Dugger said the Northgate project works from a financial standpoint, and would provide an initial first impression as a doorway to Sunbury.
“We’ve been very busy creating qualitative elements,” Dugger said. “We’ve addressed setback concerns and tweaked the rear loading docks so they wouldn’t be visible from the public right of way.”
Dugger said project designs show a big picture view, and that final uses will be determined as Northgate develops.
“Any final use would have to come back before zoning,” Dugger said.
Sunbury Mayor Tommy Hatfield noted members of the village zoning commission approved the zoning change, contingent on final legal and engineering review.
“We’ve approved a Northgate New Community Authority, and we need to get this zoning done for those processes to continue,” Hatfield said. “We do have some urgency for ourselves as a village and the school district.”
Rinehart said the proposed zoning change did not allow for a two-step development plan; that approving the zoning change would allow the development as proposed in preliminary drawings.
“These issues cannot be deferred; my clients feel this development plan is deficient,” Rinehart said. “My clients feel the rezoning cannot be approved until the southern intersection and Sunbury Parkway are approved.
“My clients understand that development is going to come,” Rinehart continued. “We recommend that the zoning change be remanded back to the zoning commission to address their concerns. We also ask, if possible, that it’s not passed as an emergency so it could be subject to a referendum.”
Estates at Cheshire resident Paul Young said the process was going too fast, and the concerns of residents living in his development were not being addressed.
“And it’s not just us,” Young said. “This is a very big development that’s going to affect a lot of people. Mr. Shively and his group said they intend to put up a first-class commercial development, but what happens if Mr. Shively goes away?”

How is it August already? Can we get time to slow down a bit? In Chicago, we suffer through long brutal winters, and this inspires us to make the most of every summer – packing in as much activity as we can before we need to slip back into hibernation. Here is a little summary of what I have been up to:
This summer I went to two music festivals. My friends at Lakeshore Beverage gave me tickets to Pitchfork, so my friend Erin and I got to spend a day rocking out in the sun. My favorite act of the day? Schoolboy Q. I also ate some great tacos and drank wonderful beers from Goose Island.
Last Friday and Sunday, Charles and I went to Lollapalooza. It was our fifth time attending the festival, so at this point we are old pros. We can tell you that Eminem is a great performer who despite his attitude filled lyrics, really seemed to love being on stage. Newcomers Chvrches put on a great live show. Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue was the most unique and lively band we saw. And Glen Hansard lived up to my high expectations and proved to be a genuinely nice guy – he adorably invited his crew up the mic to sing a verse to thank them for their hard work. Sunday was a muddy day, but we made the most of it.
Check out the amazing braid I got at goldplaited before heading to Lolla on Sunday. I felt bad taking it out – but the one thing you need after a muddy day at Lolla is a hot shower.
Last week I spoke at Blend – a great monthly networking event. I spoke about Chicago food trends and explained that barbecue might just be the next big thing to hit Chicago. That, and we still really really love doughnuts. The event was held at The Bedford – which has a lounge in a former bank vault. (photos via Garbero Photography)
My darling friend Nicole hosted Blogging and Brunching, and I got to meet her pup Larry.
I saw many of my blogging friends at the CBN happy hour on Tuesday at River Roast. Beer and bloggers are two of my favorite things.
After the happy hour, Charles and I experienced a Chicago restaurant miracle, when we stopped into Bavettes just to see if we could get a table and one magically appeared. We had an impromptu 3 course dinner – I think Bavettes has the best steaks in Chicago, and look at the size of the fully loaded potato!

BOSTON — There was a time-too recently-when an incident involving police and Tim Raines' wife at Boston's Logan Airport killed talks that could have brought him to the Red Sox.
Instead, he came to the White Sox.
As Monday morning glided into Monday afternoon, Raines hit three home runs in Fenway Park, powering the White Sox to a 12-1 victory over the Red Sox. After the third, the people of the town Raines once ridiculed as racist stood and gave him an ovation. More than a few gave him the Andre Dawson "salaam."
After the game, someone asked Raines if, now, he would consider staying in Boston. A smile came to his face.
"Well," he said, "if I stayed here, then I couldn't face their pitching."
If there is any anger left in Raines for the city that on Monday celebrated Patriots' Day, only the baseballs he hit felt it.
This game didn't belong only to Raines. Wilson Alvarez (3-0) carried a no-hitter into the sixth. Joey Cora broke the game open with a bases-loaded triple in the fourth. Darrin Jackson had a two-run single.
And then there was Frank Thomas, who followed Raines' final homer in the eighth inning with one of his own.
"I told him I had to get that home run the last time up or he might talk all the way back to Chicago," Thomas said.
Let Raines talk.
For the seventh time since coming to the White Sox in 1991, Raines led off a game with a homer. This one was a 405-foot shot off Danny Darwin (2-1) that nearly beheaded an usher in right. Raines led off the third inning with another one, same direction but not as deep, and it was 2-0.
In the fourth, the White Sox had runners on second and third with two out and Raines up. Boston manager Butch Hobson-who did not have a good day-ordered Raines walked, and Cora, batting .135 at that moment, came through with the first White Sox triple of the season. It was 5-0.
"I kind of put everything together in that at-bat," said Cora.
"That," said manager Gene Lamont, "was big for Joey."
The drama shifted to Alvarez. Through five innings, two balls had reached the outfield, neither threatening.
Two routine outs in the sixth and up came Dawson, who had missed Sunday's game with a hamstring pull behind his right knee. But he was in there Monday, and he and Alvarez battled to a 2-2 count before Dawson lifted a drive to left, near the foul pole.
First, Dawson stood there.
"I thought it was on the street, foul," Dawson said.
Then he moved tentatively on the sore knee and watched, his eyes alone doing what Carlton Fisk's entire body did on that same spot in the 1975 World Series.
It didn't go foul, and it didn't go out, but it did hit near the top of the famous wall. Dawson hobbled to first, and the no-hitter was gone.
Three more White Sox runs-two on Jackson's bases-loaded single after another intentional walk-made it 8-0 before Alvarez gave up a run and ran out of gas in the seventh. Jose DeLeon and Dennis Cook shut the Red Sox down the rest of the way-but Raines wasn't through.
In the eighth, with one out and Ron Karkovice on first, Raines hit his third homer.
The people stood and cheered. It wasn't derision. It was respect.
"It was a pleasurable feeling to see that," Raines said. "The fans here in Boston really appreciate baseball."
They also appreciate history. Monday, they saw both.

The Department of Homeland Security has temporarily suspended the use of mounted horse patrols in Del Rio, Texas, according to reports.
The news comes after photos and video went viral earlier this week of a mounted Border Patrol officers confronting migrants, and whipping at Haitian migrants was alleged, causing fervor among top Democrats. No use of whips has been documented, but an investigation was launched into the accusations.
"We have ceased the use of the horse patrol in Del Rio temporarily. We'll prioritize other methods for identifying individuals who might be in medical distress," a DHS official told reporters. The Border Patrol officers involved in the controversy have been assigned administrative duties while the investigation continues.
So far, approximately 12 repatriation flights have left the United States, and 1,401 Haitian nationals have been returned to Haiti, DHS said. Another 3,206 Haitians have been moved from the Del Rio camp into Customs and Border Protection custody.
In recent weeks, there has been a surge of migrants crossing the Rio Grande into Texas, mostly trekking from Haiti or Mexico to the U.S. southern border. A DHS official told CNN the department is working with nearby countries to look into organized movements. Approximately 14,000 migrants gathered under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas.
The DHS reports approximately 5,000 migrants remain at the Del Rio camp as of Thursday.
The Washington Examiner has reached out to DHS and CBP for comment but did not immediately hear back.

THIS CHARTER IS BAD FOR OUR SCHOOLS
The proposed charter will do much more than replace Town Meeting with a City Council. In the case of the schools, there are a number of significant impacts that have gotten very little attention.
Disruptive election cycle
Currently, Amherst’s five School Committee members serve staggered three-year terms, with two members elected in each of two years, and the fifth member elected in the third year. Three years provides enough time for members to gain experience and focus on governing the schools well before stepping down or having to run for election again. Staggered terms ensure that, even as turn-over takes place and new members are elected, institutional memory is preserved and that at any point in time there will be some members on the committee with several years of experience.
In contrast, under the proposed charter, terms will be reduced to two years, with all school committee members elected at once. This creates potential for sudden abrupt swings in policy and for loss of institutional memory. For more details and other impacts, see the recent column by Amherst Finance Committee chairwoman and former School Committee chairwoman Marylou Theilman. See also the analysis by School Committee member Peter Demling, which was ignored by the Charter Commission majority, as was the advice of other school committee members and the superintendent to retain longer, and staggered, terms.
Town Manager can amend school budgets
Under the proposed charter, the School Committee would no longer determine the school budgets to be presented to the Town Council for appropriation, as they currently do with budgets presented to Town Meeting. Instead, School budgets would need to be submitted first to the Town Manager who would incorporate them, with whatever changes he or she deems appropriate, into a final budget proposal (together with the town and library budgets) to the City Council. The Council would then adopt the final budget for the schools, library and town government. If the Town Manager chooses to reduce the budget from that requested by the School Committee, it would require a super-majority vote of the Council to reinstate those funds.
Threats to the quality of education
Read what Michael Greenebaum, retired principal of the former Marks Meadow School in Amherst, has to say about the connections between form of government and quality of schools. He highlights how relative rankings of Massachusetts school systems indicate clearly that communities in which voters have a direct voice in making decisions about budgets support their schools to a greater degree than communities where those decisions are delegated to a small council.
What about the vote against funding the proposed Wildwood co-located schools?
The failure to fund that building proposal was due to the state law requiring a 2/3 majority to appropriate the funds. When Town Meeting failed to reach this level of support, proponents brought the vote to Amherst voters who also failed to support the project sufficiently for it to go forward. For more details about these votes, read this letter from Ira Addes, and this blog from Michael Greenebaum, both of whom supported the school building project.

And why did it mislead Parliament?
The second part of Phase 3 of the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry has come to a close.
There is so much I could write about (and have written about), but the thing which always makes me twitchy about this scandal is accountability, or the institutional and individual lack thereof.
To that end I have written a new blog post about some recent evidence to the Inquiry asked the question “Why hasn’t Fujitsu sacked Andy Dunks?“
Andy Dunks probably has a family to support and probably makes a decent living at Fujitsu, but he does seem to have been involved in providing incorrect, or at least incomplete witness statements to the criminal courts.
Also, four years ago, he sought to mislead a High Court judge. Six months after he did so, Fujitsu told the BEIS Select Committee it would dismiss anyone found to have knowingly misled the courts. Yet Dunks is still working at Fujitsu.
Anway, he gave evidence at the Post Office Horizon IT inquiry on Wednesday, and I have chosen to write a blog post about it, which I thought you might like to read.
As a company Fujitsu have done a very good job of avoiding accountability for their role in this scandal, though I am grateful to Tom Witherow (him again) for writing up (in February – apologies to Tom – I missed this) the prospect that the government might choose to sue them. We’ll see if that comes to pass.
All eyes on 27 April
The last person to give evidence to the inquiry this week was Richard Roll. I first met Richard seven years ago in a pub in Berkshire. He told me about his work at Fujitsu and agreed in principle to be interviewed about it for Panorama. Without Richard’s devastating evidence I wonder if this scandal would ever have come to light. Read my tweet thread about Richard’s day at the Inquiry on the Post Office Scandal website here.
The Inquiry is breaking until late April. There is a compensation hearing on 27 April in which, for the first time, the taxing of Subpostmasters’ HSS compensation will be examined as well as all the other ongoing disasters, and then we have a week of evidence from two former Fujitsu execs currently under police investigation – Anne Chambers and Gareth Jenkins. Should be enlightening.
Me vs Nick Higham
If you fancy a trip to Oxford I’m going to be speaking about the Post Office Scandal at the Oxford Literary Festival (other authors include Michael Morpurgo, Anthony Horowitz, Mary Berry and Cressida Cowell – I know!) at 6pm on Friday 31 March.
My interlocutor will be Nick Higham, who almost certainly won’t remember teaching me a BBC journalism module back in 2000. He has a lot to answer for. Tickets can be bought here.
Thanks to everyone who has got in touch recently and to the new subscribers who have joined this newsletter’s ever-growing army of secret emailers. It’s great to have you on board. If you ever want to drop me a line, just hit reply to this email. Unfortunately I do get a lot of correspondence and can’t reply to every email or message I get, but I do read every one and I am extremely grateful.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend (or drown your sorrows if you’re an England rugby union supporter). I’m sure I’ll be letting you know about a new podcast sometime next week.

Protein A purification is part of the standard workflow in downstream processing of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. Traditional antibody purification processes can be slow due to long sample loading time. Also, additional steps may be required to concentrate the purified material. A new technology couples Protein A ligands to a proprietary membrane matrix, offering the potential for high dynamic binding capacity with a shorter lead time.
In this application note we assess the DBC10 and residence time of the membrane-based GORE Protein Capture Device as compared with an agarose-based Protein A column.
Membrane-based technology such as the GORE Protein Capture Device with Protein A offers the advantages of high dynamic binding capacity and short residence time. Together with high titers, the GORE column can reduce overall process time and may help increase yields in monoclonal antibody purification by eliminating the need for additional downstream concentration steps.

Tarzan of the Apes
The author of more than seventy novels, Burroughs is best known for his books about Tarzan, a white man who lives in the jungles of equatorial Africa. Tarzan of the Apes (1912), the first novel in the series, begins the tale of a white child reared by an imaginary species of “great apes” after his marooned parents die. He learns the law of the jungle from animals and has almost no contact with other human beings until a party of Europeans enters his domain. From them he learns the ways of humankind, and he marries the Englishwoman Jane Porter. Thereafter he has adventures among both animals and humans.
In 1920—by which time six Tarzan novels were in print—an outcry was rising in England over the books’ Darwinian themes. Several editors and printers expressed strong reservations regarding Tarzan as the evolution of Kayla the Ape. This led to a boycott of publication in England for several years.
The seventh novel in the series, Tarzan the Untamed, was published in English in 1921 and translated into German in late 1924. Its German title was equivalent to “Tarzan the German-Devourer.” Written by Burroughs in 1915, when Germany and Great Britain were fighting in World War I, the story contains several episodes in which lions eat German “Huns”—including one scene in which Tarzan himself orders a lion to eat a German officer. Although the story has Tarzan avenging the apparent murder of Jane, the German...

Conducted experiments: P
Conducted experiments: P.B.-L., S.L., and C.A.-R. dysregulating energy rate of metabolism in ASM cells could generate salutary results in the framework of asthma. Raising evidence attained in the framework of oncology shows that man made sphingosine analogs can action through SPHK2 (sphingosine kinase 2)-reliant and SPHK2-unbiased pathways to hamper mobile deposition (13, 14). We lately demonstrated a sphingosine analog aswell as substrate for SPHK2 could invert ASM thickening in experimental asthma which subtoxic concentrations of the agent could induce ASM cell cytostasis (15). Even so, the mechanisms root the propensity of SPHK2 substrates to influence ASM thickening stay unclear. In this scholarly study, we driven which the SPHK2 substrate (the info dietary supplement for the complete process. Statistical Analyses Data had been expressed using the common??SEM. After verifying homogeneity of variances as well as the assumption of normality, unpaired ANOVA or check was performed. analyses had been performed using the Sidak modification. When necessary, data were transformed before parametric lab tests were performed logarithmically. Data of air intake for mitochondrial respiration had been examined using repeated methods ANOVA accompanied by Fishers multiple evaluations test. All lab tests had been performed with Prism edition 6.01 software program (GraphPad Software, Inc.). The importance level was established at 0.05 for all your tests. Outcomes Metabolic Modifications Induced by AAL-R Precede Cytostasis Raising evidence works with the hypothesis that alteration of energy fat burning capacity by sphingosine analogs plays a part in inhibition of proliferation (13). We noticed that AAL-R, at a focus of just one 1 M, reduced the tetrazolium dye MTT decrease to formazan by 38% after a day of incubation weighed against cells incubated with VEH (Amount 1A), suggesting a reduced cellular number or hampered metabolic activity. We driven that deposition of ASM cells, assessed using crystal violet staining, had not been reduced by AAL-R in those days point (Number 1B), showing the metabolic activity rather than the build up of cells was in play at this early time point. In agreement with our earlier results (15), AAL-R significantly modified bromodeoxyuridine incorporation relative to VEH at 48 hours (Number 1C), which occurred in the absence of impressive build up of annexin VCpositive cells over a 72-hour incubation period (Amount 1D). Thus, it would appear that a focus of YC-1 (Lificiguat) AAL-R enough to trigger cytostasis however, not apoptosis quickly influences determinants of oxidoreductase activity in ASM cells. Open up in another window Amount 1. A cytostatic focus of (mitochondrial gene versus the nuclear gene between experimental circumstances. We discovered that AAL-R didn’t reduce the proportion, which gives evidence that decreased amounts of mitochondria per cell didn’t take into account the changed MTT transformation (Amount 2A). Nevertheless, we driven that routine air consumption was decreased by almost 15% due to the altered capability to use air to create ATP (oxidative phosphorylation; 27% YC-1 (Lificiguat) reduce), instead of due to raising proton leak (not really not the same as VEH) (Amount 2B). This is along with a change toward a glycolytic fat burning capacity that was evidenced by elevated cell surface appearance of GLUT1 (Amount 2C) and elevated LDH activity (Amount 2D). In keeping with elevated markers of glycolysis, we driven that AAL-R elevated mitochondrial membrane potential (Amount 2E) assessed by incorporation from the JC-10 dye (22). We didn’t observe modulation of p21 concentrations in response to AAL-R (Statistics 2F and E1 in the info dietary supplement), indicating that it didn’t operate by influencing nuclear goals of SPHK2 items. Together, these total results support the hypothesis that AAL-R mitigates energy metabolism in ASM cells. Open in another window Amount 2.

FORT WAYNE – A longtime Fort Wayne radio disc jockey was arrested on drunken driving and possession of marijuana charges early New Year's Day.
Christopher Durkee, aka Billy Elvis of 92.3 The Fort, was pulled over by a Fort Wayne police officer for failing to signal a lane change at about 2 a.m. while driving in the 1000 block of West Coliseum Boulevard on Sunday, police said.
According to a police report, the 48-year-old Durkee did not immediately stop after the officer flashed his red and blue lights, and instead pulled into the nearby Athenian Restaurant.
When the officer approached the car, Durkee allegedly said, "Come on, I'm Billy Elvis," according to the report. A short time later, Durkee laughed and asked the officer to call Police Chief Rusty York to the scene.
A plastic bag of marijuana weighing 6.5 grams was found in Durkee's coat pocket and he also had a pipe used to smoke marijuana, according to the report. Another pipe used for smoking marijuana was also found in his car.
At the Allen County Jail, Durkee's blood-alcohol-content was first measured at 0.12 percent, according to the report. He then failed a series of field sobriety tests and took a second breath test, which showed his blood-alcohol-content to be 0.13 percent.
The legal limit to drive is 0.08 percent blood-alcohol content.
Durkee was booked into the jail on a preliminary felony charge of operating while intoxicated and misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana and reckless possession of paraphernalia.
Durkee previously pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of operating while intoxicated in DeKalb County in 2007, according to court records, and has a misdemeanor operating while intoxicated arrest in Allen County on his record from 1990.
A message left at the office of 92.3 has not been returned and Durkee has yet to return a Facebook message.

Like oil sloshing atop of the waves, the black feathers draped against the crows body its eyes watching as its beak picked, stabbed and ripped at the flesh. Delicately its claws clamped onto the dead, blood and the slime of life dribbled from its long beak. Another crow lowered itself to join in on the feast, nothing was said, a lot was to go around. More eyes are welcome as each bird succulently twisted skin and muscle from the shattered bones.
Life was easy, it came and went. It needed sustenance and in the end, it became it. The crows knew this, they understood it with their instinctual drive to seek out death. The life that once belonged beneath them understood it too. Beyond the dining of the birds was an equally as simplistic ritual of life and death.
Man, nature’s most volatile of creation had evolved beyond the carnal instincts and into the mechanised institutions of destruction. What was once intimate was now wholesale. One such predatory being stood upon a podium, his voice carrying far, barely audible to the crows as they sliced through dead flesh. The speaker’s words slid eagerly into the ears and onto the brains of those in attendance.
Applause, nodding heads and gracious expressions of esoteric delight validated the man’s vocal ambience. To nature, indifferent to the institutions that provided one man with greatness above all others, observed and licked up the dead produce of such human civility. Humanity the great destroyer also fed the insignificant beasts of nature most often indirectly.
A roar, like hunting mammals on a barbaric plain cried upwards at the climax of the man’s speech. Only the constructs of civility could invoke such vulgarity. The roar cheered and clamoured for so much death to distant humans, it sought their destruction it called for their misery. It was unnatural and yet to such civilised beasts, perfectly normal.
The words soon writhed into actions, just as the flesh beneath the crows crawled with maggots marching men trudged eagerly off to make more death. The roaring chants echoing into history, the euphoria of promised glory dwindling into the peril of approaching dread. At home, among the safety of familiar comforts loved ones, well wishers, cheerleaders and rulers crawl inside blankets free of the chill of fright and snow. Bravely baying for others pain.
The marching men meet their foes, the agony, death, hunger and fear unifying them, each sharing in the desperation transcending language or the illusion of home. The crows and maggots visited upon them with as equal regard, blind to the costumes that shred exposing the broken flesh and liquid bones. Hungry dogs chewed on the cooked and uncooked flesh with as much ease. The words and promises of glory mute beneath the crunch of sinew inside the jaws of nature.
Upon more podiums, before the flicking of technology the great speak and promise, their words meaningless if not for the obedient. The obedient go on, the civilised and intelligent beasts leap from planes, lunge from boats and run from trucks so that they may enter the churning cauldron of death. No ominous being of manipulative divinity forces them, they do so upon their own willingness their families own eagerness.
The past, the days, weeks into the years before when nature was bashed from them, institutions heralded above their singular lives they could have balked, should have dissented instead, they believed. More than themselves was promised, lies and illusions spoken from afar as they rot and roam the desolation of humanities greatest triumphs.
Carrion cares little about who owns the land, who wrote the laws or what coloured rag flaps above unmarked graves. History has no narrative in the coming and going of life. The colourful borders found only on a map and inside the mind of humanity are important not to the birds that fly above. In the end the prince and peasant rot away and their flesh, tendons and innards all taste the same. The crows do not get choked up on mere words or musical tunes, only on those that do.
Once the attrition wears on and thousands perhaps millions have fallen, rivers of blood and tonnes of fertiliser made from the brave and innocent the great institutions are praised for taking it upon themselves to end the futility of civilised conduct. They shake hands and sign ink into thin sheets of what was once a tree so that the deaths may stop for another time.
The same great men who spoke beyond the ears of the crows now talk about another courage, another glory. The weary crowds applaud and those that once cried upwards for more death and misery in the before now clap eagerly for its cessation. If not for their support and cheering neither was possible.
Someday, one day the swords, the bullets, the cannons, the napalm will not be enough. The words will be so great and the images of glory so assured, the brinkmanship so close and with the right man, the most human, the most civilised the ultimate realisation of the violent futility shall be sought. It has twice before above densely populated targets. And scores more in remote and distant lands where the earth remains poisoned. The explosions so great, the science magnificent.
On that day, when humanity over steps its glory the crow, maggot and natures lesser beasts shall not profit in the simple generosity of man. Nature herself shall too be consumed by her most arrogant creature, how many atomic explosions would it take to kill a whole planet? “Let’s find out” a great man shall some day answer.

Diversity of participation matters because participation in the arts is a form of expression and, here in the west's liberal democracies, we take it as read that the state should limit expression as little as possible and encourage it as much as possible. It seems silly to have to say this, but it's worth noting here because when we talk about copyright, we're not just talking about who pays how much to get access to which art, we're talking about a regulation that has the power to midwife, or strangle, enormous amounts of expressive speech.Here's something else copyright can't and won't do and doesn't do: deliver a market where creators (or investors) set a price for creative works, and audiences buy those works or don't, letting the best float to the top in a pure and free marketplace.

DETROIT (AP) – A mock “sale” sign was attached for a short time on Rodin’s The Thinker at the Detroit Institute of Arts, while others were left on prominent statues downtown at a time when the city tries to place a value on its assets following the largest municipal bankruptcy filing in U.S. history.
None of the landmarks are being sold—yet. The tongue-in-cheek signs were the idea of artist Jerry Vile and a group of his friends.
“The situation’s sad,” Vile told the Detroit Free Press. “You might as well laugh at it.”
State-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr has said some city creditors have asked for the value of city-owned assets.
The DIA is considered one of the top art museums in the country and is home to hundreds of paintings and sculptures by Van Gogh, Bruegel the Elder, Renoir and other masters. The city purchased many of the pieces in the collection years ago during more prosperous times.
They could be considered assets in a bankruptcy, a possibility that Orr warned DIA officials about earlier this year. Orr filed for bankruptcy on July 18.
DIA Director Graham Beal told The Detroit News the art museum will sue to block any potential sale of works.
Orr has said the city is insolvent and can’t pay its bills. Detroit has a budget deficit of about $380 million. Long-term debt could be as much as $20 billion.
He has contracted with International auction house Christie’s to appraise some DIA pieces. Christie’s also will assist and advise on valuing the artwork while leaving the pieces in the city’s ownership.
“We are currently in the process of scheduling a meeting with Christie’s to determine how they want to handle this,” museum Executive Vice President Annmarie Erickson told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
On Wednesday morning, grounds maintenance workers saw the sign on The Thinker outside the art institute’s main entrance. Another “sale” sign was posted outside another part of the building. Both were quickly removed, said DIA spokeswoman Pam Marcil.
“Sale” signs also were left on statues of former mayors Hazen Pingree and William Maybury, a fountain on Detroit’s Belle Isle island park and a trash can in downtown’s Hart Plaza.
“The reports I heard is that as soon as they went up, they came off,” Vile told the Free Press.

The ability of companies to integrate laser peening equipment directly into their own facilities will greatly improve their manufacturing efficiencies and reduce cost
Dublin, OH (PRWEB) November 05, 2013
LSP Technologies announces that it is offering a product line of high-pulse-rate, high power laser peening systems, ranging from 20 watts to more than 400 watts. Available to OEMs, MROs, and all manufacturers for the first time, these laser peening systems can be customized to meet specific manufacturing requirements.
“LSP Technologies’ experience designing, fabricating, installing, and using laser peening equipment goes back into the 1980s when this same team built the world’s first industrial laser peening system at Battelle Columbus Labs,” said Jeff Dulaney, President and CEO of LSP Technologies. “We’re proud to still be at the forefront of this industry, delivering high quality laser peening services and now turn-key laser peening systems to meet the demands of any business.”
LSP Technologies is the only company in the world selling, installing, and integrating state-of-the-art laser peening equipment into the facilities of its customers. Equipment sales include an IP license to LSP Technologies’ vast intellectual property portfolio, customer training, ongoing equipment service, and long-term technical support.
During the next year, LSP Technologies will be installing the highest power laser peening equipment in the world at its facility in Dublin, Ohio. This equipment will be used to increase production capacity and to create an equipment showcase for customers to witness the system in operation. “The ability of companies to integrate laser peening equipment directly into their own facilities will greatly improve their manufacturing efficiencies and reduce cost,” said Dulaney, “which will add significant value for their customers. We’re taking orders now for delivery in 2014!”
About Laser Peening:
Laser peening significantly improves fatigue resistance and fatigue strength, increasing the service life of parts by 2 to 20 times. Laser peening has saved OEMs and their customers tens of millions of dollars in maintenance and replacement costs. The benefit laser peening provides also delivers a competitive advantage to manufacturers and end users. Industries benefiting from laser peening as a value-adding process include: power generation (gas turbines, steam turbines, diesel engines, wind power engines); transportation (aircraft, ship, train, engine components); medical (replacement joints, implants, and surgical utensils); and manufacturing (tooling, presses, rolls, mills). All industries with metal component fatigue could benefit from laser peening, like oil and gas, pipeline, mining, rail and light rail, heavy equipment, automotive and, shipping and maritime.
About LSP Technologies:
LSP Technologies is an innovative high tech manufacturing company specializing in the application of high power lasers to improve the endurance, performance, and safety of manufactured components across a broad array of market sectors. LSP Technologies was founded in 1995 and is the premier provider of laser peening equipment and services in the United States. LSP Technologies helped GE Aviation establish an in-house laser peening capability in the 1990s, and then worked with the US Air Force to establish LSP Technologies as an independent laser peening supplier for the rest of industry. LSP Technologies has laser peened tens-of-thousands of components for OEMs in the aerospace and power generation industries. In 2012 LSP Technologies delivered to the Boeing Company the first Laser Bond Inspection NDT laser system that interrogates an adhesive bond’s strength.

Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking are scared about AI and the prospect of a “Terminator” future. But the U.S. military isn’t.
“If people design computer viruses, someone will design AI that improves and replicates itself. This will be a new form of life which outperforms humans,” warns Stephen Hawking.
It’s not just that media-darling disciplines ruled by naturalism fail the facts. They fail at precisely the points where they should succeed if naturalism were true.
Science writer Dennis Overbye calls the inflation controversy a crisis in cosmology. But maybe it is more of a crossroads.
I am struck by the similarities between Hawking’s call for space exploration and the wailing and gnashing of teeth about the Paris climate accords.

The head-to-head battle between Apple Inc. and Google Inc. in mobile market is drawing nearer as Google Inc. is putting the final touches on its Maps app for iOS before submitting it to Apple’s iTunes for approval.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the software, which is already being tested by Google specialist, is “expected to contain” turn-by-turn navigation, just like its Android counterpart.
The new feature was said to be one of the main sticking points in negotiations between the two giants that led to the Cupertino based company creating its own mapping software.
The news comes a few days after Nokia announced that it has developed its own maps offering for iOS called Here Maps. The mentioned software, believed to compete with Apple’s homegrown mapping app, will be released in the next few weeks.
“We believe Google Maps are the most comprehensive, accurate and easy-to-use maps in the world,” a Google spokesperson commented on the issue.
“Our goal is to make Google Maps available to everyone who wants to use it, regardless of device, browser, or operating system,” he added.
Meanwhile, an Apple spokesman refused to reveal any details considering apps that haven’t been submitted for approval. The iPhone maker has recently approved some new or updated Google apps.
However, the company’s insiders told reporters earlier this month they were not optimistic that the iOS Google Maps app, when finished, would ever see the light of day.
The comments can be easily explained by the fact that Google’s expected software for Apple devices is the latest in a maps-applications fracas between the companies, which are constantly competing in everything starting from mobile devices to digital-media sales.
Maps apps are considered to be one of the most important elements in the future of computing as they will power the next-generation mobile apps that help people find places to visit and where to shop, among other things.
This September saw the release of the highly anticipated iPhone and iPad software called iOS 6 that included a Google Maps app that was preinstalled on its mobile devices with Apple’s own mapping software.
The Californian company also removed Google’s YouTube video app, which similarly had been preinstalled on all of the devices. Both preinstalled Google apps had been built by Apple with Google data.
Unfortunately for the giant, numerous consumers complained Apple’s version was riddled with inaccurate data, as Google’s transit-based directions, were severely limited in the new Apple software.
Which is more, many locations around the world were either populated with inaccurate data about local points of interest, or simply missing.
Apple’s CEO Tim Cook even had to apologize for the company’s crappy version of maps application. “At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers,” he wrote on Apple’s official website.
“With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment. We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better.”
Google’s Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said at the time that Apple users shouldn’t expect to get the Google Maps app back any time soon.
“In my opinion it would have been better to retain our maps,” he reportedly told reporters. “It’s their decision, I’ll let them describe it.”

Former President Donald Trump faced fierce criticism for mocking President Joe Biden over his stutter.
Presumptive GOP nominee Trump fumed at what he described as Biden’s “angry, dark, hate-filled” State of the Union address during a campaign rally in Rome, Georgia, on Saturday.
Four-times-indicted Trump said: “‘Bring the country t-t-t-t-together? I’m going to bring it together.’ No. No. He’s a threat to democracy. I will tell you. He’s a threat to democracy.”
Critics on X (formerly Twitter) slammed Trump’s taunting of Biden, who has worked to overcome his lifelong speech impediment. They also ripped the laughing response of Trump’s supporters, who lapped the comment up.
The MeidasTouch Network drew a sharp comparison between Trump’s attack and Biden’s empathy for fellow stutterers, such as the now-viral moment he bonded with then-13-year-old Brayden Harrington and later helped him tackle his stutter. Watch the video here:
It’s not the first time Trump or his allies have mocked Biden over his stutter.
In 2020, Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump (and now the newly-installed co-chair of the Republican National Committee) insisted she wasn’t referring to Biden’s stutter when she said of the then-Democratic hopeful: “I’m supposed to want him to fail at every turn, but every time he comes on stage or they turn to him, I’m like, ‘Joe, can you get it out? Let’s get the words out, Joe.’ You kinda feel bad for him. The problem is that’s their front-runner, guys, OK?”
Former Trump White House press secretary-turned-Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) apologized and deleted her post after Biden himself called her out for writing: “I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I hhhave absolutely no idea what Biden is talking about.”

A Different Story was initially aired on British television channels BBC One and BBC Three.

As we move into 2023 and another year kicks off, many people set goals for nutrition, fitness, health, and other areas of their life. Sometimes these goals can be outlandish, too aggressive, and easy to give up on.
Before you jump on the bandwagon of setting goals you will struggle to keep up with, take some time to determine where you are at now, what you want to accomplish in 2023, and what steps you can take to get there. The first step is to look at your habits and your routine objectively so you can see where changes are necessary.
So many people are already looking for the latest and greatest diets of 2023. How can you lose the most weight? What is the quickest way to lose it?
Before you jump on this bandwagon, look at where you’re at with your nutrition habits first. Are you eating balanced meals, hydrating, and choosing nutrient-dense foods? Are you eating sweets and processed foods in moderation? Instead of immediately jumping to a whole new diet, choose one or two areas you can work on and go from there. Set a goal to drink more water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, or limit fast food. Small, attainable goals can help you reach your larger ones. Once you meet a goal, don’t stop there! Move on to a new one.
January is the time to move! Motivation runs high in the new year, and with so many fitness options out there, how do you start a plan that you can continue all year long? Take a look at your current health and fitness level. For some, just walking a little more is a good first step, while others may want to take their fitness to the next level. You might consider focusing more on strength-training or incorporating yoga into your routine.
Determine where you’re at right now with your fitness and where you’d like to be this time next year. What motivates you to move? Is it exercising with a friend, taking a class, or finding ways to get active in the comfort of your home? The options are endless, so find what works for you.
Mental Health Goals
Mental health is often overlooked. As we go through our daily lives, issues like anxiety, stress, and loneliness are often pushed to the side. However, these issues are extremely important and can have a significant effect on your life.
Take a look at yourself and where you may be struggling. What is it that you need? Some people have too much on their plate. Make 2023 a year where you say “No” more and distinguish between what you want to do and what’s less important. Other people feel alone and could use more social time. Make a pact to reach out to others and set up some social events to fill the void. Still, others may want to consider a counselor to address their mental health goals. Strive for balance and progress in 2023.
2023 is a Year to Restart
A new year is often viewed as a fresh start. As you head into 2023, try putting your undivided attention into thinking about what you want the year to look like. Everyone has different goals and different paths to success. Taking small steps in different areas of your life can greatly impact your overall health and wellbeing. Make 2023 the best year you’ve have in a long time!

From Baltimore With Love brings together twenty Baltimore bands and musicians to support the art and activist group FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture. Embracing the theme of a summer road trip, 20 artists donated tracks to keep Force company on the road including Dan Deacon, Flock of Dimes, AK Slaughter, Soft Cat, Ami Dang, Abdu Ali, DDM and more. The mix is being released as a prize for The Monument Quilt Tour Kickstarter campaign.
From Baltimore with Love is a sampling of Force’s hometown Baltimore’s varied and vibrant music scene. For only $15, Kickstarter backers can enjoy the psych soul rock of Katrina Ford, feminist punk rock War on Women, cellist and political artist Paul Rucker, and composer and electronic musician Dan Deacon, to name a few. With an all around all star line up, the compilation spans the genres of hip hop, R&B, club, ambient, electronic, experimental, pop, punk and everything in-between.
While Baltimore is well-known for its home-grown musicians, it is also becoming well-known for its home-grown feminist activism. Force: Upsetting Rape Culture is mostly widely known for their viral panty prank where they pretended to be Victoria’s Secret promoting consent-themed slogans on panties and thongs or more recently when they tricked the internet into believing Playboy was promoting consensual sex to undergrads. They are currently raising funds via Kickstarter for a 10-city tour of the Monument Quilt.

LL06 Front Flipper with Black and Tan G10

Maker: Herucus Blomerus (click to see more by this maker)
Item num: 92563
Blade length: 3.00 in.
Total length: 7.00 in.
Blade height (at heel): 0.85 in.
Blade thickness (near bolster): 0.10 in.
Blade thickness (at midpoint): 0.07 in.
Blade thickness (near tip): 0.04 in.
Item weight: 3.00 oz.
Shipment weight: 3.6 oz.
Blade: Differentially finished N690 stainless steel Hrc 59
Handle: Textured black G10 with Tan G10 inlays
Style: Front flipper liner lock
Description: This folding knife was made by South African knifemaker Herucus Blomerus. A resident of Pretoria, Herucus (pronounced 'eh-roo-koos') has been a proud member of the South African Knifemakers Guild since 2005.
The drop point N690 stainless blade is meticulously hand satin finished in the grinds and mirror polished on the flats. A long swedge lightens the blade and creates a detail oriented tip. N690 is a super-steel created by Bohler in Austria. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds on to it. The increased toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping.
The blade is easily opened by using the front flipper mechanism. The front flipper is more compact than the traditional flipper mechanism and is less likely to get caught in a pocket. The blade is well centered and has silky-smooth action due to the IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System) pivot system. This mechanism, which was originally designed to fit balisong knives, uses ball bearings to create smooth action with no blade play.
The scales combine black and tan G10 in a finely fitted inlay. Rather than using two separate pieces end-butted together, Herucus created the black G10 handle scale and inlaid tan G10 into the bolster section. This results in superior durability! The handle is completed with blue anodized, hand fileworked titanium liners.
This folder is a classy and refined piece, unique and not ostentatious. Herucus is clearly a maker to keep an eye out for - exceptional fit and finish throughout!
