If you’re looking for an early Falcons 2017 MVP, look no further than veteran center Alex Mack, who has played almost perfect the first three weeks of the season.
In fact, Mack is currently the No. 1 ranked center in the NFL by Pro Football Focus.
Mack’s overall grade (94.0) is significantly higher than the rest of the field, and it’s boosted by a great run block grade, per Stuart Whitaker at PFF:
Mack’s strength has been in the running game, where he has posted a run-block grade of 94.2 enabling Devonta Freeman, currently the league’s second-highest-graded running back, to excel.
The best offensive linemen in the league also know how to take care of their quarterback, though. Good news: Mack is excelling in that area, too.
According to PFF, Mack has played 102 pass snaps so far and only allowed one pressure on Matt Ryan:
He has also performed well in the passing game, and participated in 102 passing snaps, allowing just one quarterback pressure, resulting in a hurry, equating to a pass-blocking efficiency of 99.3.
Mack’s arrival last year from Cleveland helped solidify Atlanta’s offense as one of the league’s elite units. As long as he’s healthy, it have a chance to outscore anybody.


Choose your destination. Twitter, the free micro-blogging service, has become a “handy tool” for global travelers. Before leaving for a trip, uncover “insider information” by finding experts or groups. Either search for a place by typing it into the “Find People” tab or attach a hash (#) symbol to a location (for example, #Egypt) to find local experts and official tourism bureaus.
Watch for deals. Many travel companies, airlines, and hotels now use Twitter to broadcast deals, “especially late-breaking ones.” Marriott (@MarriottIntl) has been known to offer “Twitter-specific” contests.
Tweet as you go. “Instead of making an expensive phone call to Mom,” load free applications such as TwitterBerry for Blackberry and TwitterFon for iPhone, and update her—along with the rest of your “followers”—via text message. You can also post photos from your travels using the application TwitPic.

New pesticide record-keeping app from ISU
Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach worked with iOS app developer Rade | Eccles to develop the Pesticide and Field Records iPad app to help producers and agriculture businesses record and maintain pesticide application information.
The free iPad app allows users to link information to specific field locations using satellite mapping and document pesticide application information needed to comply with state and federal record-keeping requirements. The app also features a product search option that lists Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) product registration numbers and identifies restricted use products.
Development of the app was funded by the ISU Extension Pest Management and the Environment program and a grant from the EPA under assistance of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship Pesticide Bureau.

text: Frustrated Athenian drivers will be introduced to yet another parking scheme after Easter aimed at restoring some order to the capital’s streets, the City of Athens said yesterday. The plan will initially involve the setting up of 5,000 parking spaces in Psyrri, Plaka, Kolonaki and the heart of the city’s commercial district. Drivers will be required to pay by purchasing a scratch card but will be able to pay by mobile phone at a later date. The initial cost will be 1 euro for each of the first two hours, with third hour will set drivers back 4 euros. Residents will pay 10 euros for a parking space per year while other groups, such as the disabled, will park for free. The scheme is expected to raise 44 to 46 million euros for the City of Athens over the next five years.

Will Breman performs Young the Giant’s “My Body” during The Voice Live Top 10 Performances 2019.
Episode: 21 (Monday, December 2, 2019)
Coach: John Legend
Artist: Will Breman
Song: “My Body”
Result: Public’s vote
This week’s theme was “Challenge Week.” The three artists with the fewest votes competed for an Instant Save, with two leaving the competition.
Will learned to sing when he was just three years old. He was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism, and his parents believed music would be helpful in his development. No matter what he was going through, he could always turn to music for comfort. Will went on to attend college in Santa Barbara and stayed in town after graduation to pursue music. Will is currently a one-man-band soul musician and looper who creates various beats and loops them together to sound like multiple musicians.
The seventeenth season of the American reality television show The Voice premiered on September 23, 2019, on NBC. John Legend, Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton returned as coaches for their second, fourth, and seventeenth season, respectively. Gwen Stefani, who last coached in the twelfth season, will return, replacing Adam Levine. With Levine’s departure, Shelton serves as the last remaining coach from the show’s inaugural season. Meanwhile, Carson Daly returned for his seventeenth season as host.
The Voice is an American singing competition television series broadcast on NBC. It premiered during the spring television cycle on April 26, 2011, and expanded into the fall cycle with the premiere of the third season on September 10, 2012. Based on the original The Voice of Holland, and part of The Voice franchise it has aired sixteen seasons and aims to find currently unsigned singing talent (solo or duets, professional and amateur) contested by aspiring singers, age 13 or over, drawn from public auditions.
The winner is determined by television viewers voting by telephone, internet, SMS text, and iTunes Store purchases of the audio-recorded artists’ vocal performances. They receive US$100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group for winning the competition. The winners of the sixteen seasons have been: Javier Colon, Jermaine Paul, Cassadee Pope, Danielle Bradbery, Tessanne Chin, Josh Kaufman, Craig Wayne Boyd, Sawyer Fredericks, Jordan Smith, Alisan Porter, Sundance Head, Chris Blue, Chloe Kohanski, Brynn Cartelli, Chevel Shepherd, and Maelyn Jarmon.
The series employs a panel of four coaches who critique the artists’ performances and guide their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. The original panel featured Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton; the panel for the current seventeenth season features Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend.

As Hurricane Irene churns toward coast, precautions are taken
Better safe than sorry.
That’s the approach many area residents, business owners, emergency-response personnel and others are taking as Hurricane Irene continues on a projected trek that brings the storm to eastern North Carolina, or close enough to cause concern.
Hurricane Irene was more than three days away from any possible U.S. landfall as of Wednesday morning, but local officials already were assessing the storm’s projected effects on Beaufort County.
John Pack, the county’s emergency-management coordinator, was staying in touch with government forecasters and monitoring the latest predictions from the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
As Pack conveyed reports from the NHC and other sources, Irene was a large, powerful Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph.
Because of the storm’s size, even a glancing blow from Irene could have significant consequences for Beaufort County, he warned.
“Right now if it follows everything that’s there (in the forecast) the city of Washington could see winds sustained for a period of time of 60 mph,” Pack advised. “Belhaven could see sustained winds of 90 mph.
Obviously, the city of Washington’s time period would be less than Belhaven’s that would sustain those winds because of Belhaven’s proximity to the storm.”
Aurora could also be hard hit by flooding depending on the storm’s path, he said.
“The left side of this hurricane is building and building, and if projections are correct we could see 9 inches of rain in a 24-hour period,” Pack said. “That brings lowland flooding, that brings things like (flooding on Washington’s) 15th Street, that brings issues into Belhaven just from the amount of water.”
The winds could drive floodwaters into Belhaven and keep them there for a significant amount of time, Pack related.
“Our job’s to prepare for the worst, and the worst is we’re still in the cone of probability of this storm,” he said.
The American Red Cross is mobilizing volunteers, emergency-response vehicles and disaster supplies in preparation for a full East Coast response, if needed. Trailers already loaded with supplies for post-storm recovery are in staging areas such as Greenville, Rocky Mount and Goldsboro, according to area Red Cross officials.
“This storm is getting stronger as it moves toward the East Coast and people who live in or are vacationing in areas that could see its impact need to get ready now,” said Summer Woodard, executive director for the Greater Pamlico and Pitt County chapters of the American Red Cross. “We urge them to take the threat of Irene seriously and finalize their hurricane preparations and get their emergency kits ready.”
Local Red Cross-operated shelters are ready to open. (See accompanying information box for shelter locations.)
The Salvation Army’s Washington corps also is mobilizing for Irene’s possible arrival on the state’s coast. The Washington corps serves Beaufort, Hyde, Martin, Washington, Tyrrell and Bertie counties.
Its disaster-response equipment and resources could be deployed anywhere they’re needed.
“We’ve gone out and purchased supplies,” said Lt. Chris Lyles, corps commander, on Wednesday morning. “We’ve got our mobile canteen/kitchen unit … ready to go.”
If needed, the mobile canteen would serve storm victims and emergency responders up to three meals a day for three days, Lyles said.
Salvation Army officials throughout the state will continue to monitor Irene’s track and respond accordingly, he said.
State parks in eastern North Carolina, including Goose Creek State Park in Beaufort County, will be closed to campers Friday and Saturday, according to the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation. The parks will be open to visitors today. Those parks could close on short notice, depending on the anticipated path of the storm.
Hyde County schools are closed today and Friday.
Tourists on Ocracoke Island have been ordered to evacuate.
Coastal Carolina Railway is planning to close the railroad trestle across the Pamlico River at Washington by 11 a.m. Friday, according to an email the City of Washington sent to boaters with vessels at the city’s docks.
Morgan Banks of Southern Pines was preparing to have his boat hauled out of the water at McCotter’s Marina east of Washington on Tuesday.
Banks keeps his boat at the marina and has a home close by.
“Hurricanes can be a bit challenging,” Banks said with a smile, soon adding, “It’s a crap shoot anyway, but being hauled seems to be safer than being in the water.”
Though Irene’s precise track was unknown, Banks wasn’t going to leave his boat at the mercy of water that could soon be churned up by the hurricane’s wind-driven tides.
“It might not matter much or it might matter for everything, so it’s hard to say,” he pointed out.
Brendan Morris is general manager of the Hampton Inn in Washington.
The hotel normally isn’t open to locals, but that policy will change if a weather emergency occurs and evacuees look for places to stay, Morris said.
Irene already had made a difference in the Hampton Inn’s bookings as of Tuesday afternoon.
“We’ve had a few people cancel already, and we’ve had a few people make reservations due to that,” Morris said Tuesday. “So, it’s almost kind of evening out in a way.”

I’ve been wanting to get this story planted somewhere for a long time. Tomorrow’s Wall Street Journal A-hed story:
By Alexandra Berzon
LAS VEGAS—People here can no longer marvel at the public display of one million dollars, be dazzled by “the world’s largest rhinestone” or even watch showgirls prance in ostrich-feather headdresses. All have vanished.
But when a reality-television show took down a painting with a cult following among patrons at Vickie’s Diner, kitsch enthusiasts drew the line.
“It’s a crappy painting, but we love it,” said Allison Hayward, who created a Facebook page dedicated to the image—known as “That Painting”—which depicts a gun-toting man floating above a serene, wooded landscape.

Confidence up in April
New York City — Consumers grew more confident in April amid job gains and slightly declining gas prices. The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan final index of consumer sentiment increased to a three-month high of 74.3 from 69.8 in April.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected the index to be unchanged from the preliminary figure. At the same time, income expectations remained at low levels.
"Sagging real incomes have made consumers more cautious spenders, with rising gas prices especially troublesome for younger and lower income households," Richard Curtin, director of the survey, said in a statement. “The data continue to indicate the maintenance of a moderate pace of consumer spending during the balance of 2011."
The Michigan survey’s current conditions gauge, which reflects Americans’ perceptions of their financial situation and whether they consider it a good time to buy big-ticket items like cars, decreased to 81.9 from 82.5 the prior month.
Consumer expectations for six months from now, which more closely projects the direction of consumer spending, of consumer spending rose to 69.5, the highest since February, from 61.6, the confidence report showed.
The survey’s gauge of consumer expectations jumped to 69.5 from April’s 61.6. It also came in above a predicted reading of 67.5.
The survey’s barometer of current economic conditions was 81.9, slipping from April’s 82.5 but topping forecasts of 80.2.
Report: India closer to allowing foreign retail investment
New Delhi, India —India will announce new rules for foreign investment in retail by April 2012, which would pave the way for such retailers as Wal-Mart Stores, Carrefour SA and other large chains to open stores in the country, Bloomberg reported.
“We are much further down the process than people think,” said Junior Trade Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia in an interview with Bloomberg. “I think it is a huge opportunity for India.”
Indian law limits foreign retail investment to ownership of wholesale stores or 51% holdings in single-brand shops. The government prohibits non-Indian companies from operating multi-brand outlets to protect local store owners.
India is the third-most attractive retail market for global retailers among the thirty largest emerging markets, according to AT Kearney. The growing middle class, expanding economy and increasingly brand-conscious population will help push retail sales up by 35% during the next three years, the company said in a June report.

Today, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) changed the reciprocity schedule for France to reflect decreased E-1, E-2, and L-1 visa validity periods. Specifically, effective November 12, 2019, E-1 and E-2 visas are now limited to a validity of only 25 months per visa issuance. Similarly, L-1 visas are now limited to a validity of only 17 months per visa issuance. Until this change, E and L visas have had validity for 60 months.
In general, different types of U.S. nonimmigrant visas have different allowable validity periods depending on the nationality of the applicant, because the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) requires the DOS to set country-specific visa policies based on reciprocity. The validity periods, number of entries, and visa fees for different types of visas are based on each country’s treatment of similar classes of U.S. visitors to its territory, as well as national security, immigration, and other considerations. Since August 2019, there have been announcements by the U.S. Embassy in France regarding decreased E visa validity periods for French nationals. According to the U.S. Embassy in France’s website at that time, the reduction in validity time on E visas was implemented to correspond with the “treatment afforded to U.S. citizens by the Government of France”. However, until today, the DOS has not changed the reciprocity schedule to reflect the changes.

Vincent Ranch, Hamilton, Montana, 1914
Frank's Homemade Raft
This page is under construction
When Frank Junior was a young boy, he wanted to run away from home. He built a small raft and hauled it to the irrigation ditch, next to the ranch, that ran through the Bitter Root Valley to sail away. The ditch is about six feet wide and 6 miles in length. Junior didn't get very far away from home.
THE SKALKAHO Hl-LINE DITCH is about 6 miles in length with a capacity of 175 cfs.
UPDATE: April 5, 2021
Turns out there was more to the story...Cousin Sallie shared this additional information about Frank's adventure. "Junior (Frank) was also going to float past a girl's place, his crush as they say today. The plan was the two of them would float out to an ocean. He described it as a real Huck Finn adventure."
Research reveals that The Vincent Ranch was located in a prime location next to the Skalkaho Hi-Line Irrigation Ditch which provided water for crops. The ditch is about 6 miles in length with a capacity of 175 cfs. An examination on Google Maps shows that the ditch flows back into the Bitterroot River south of Hamilton near the Old Darby Road.
Marcus Daly bought the existing Republican Ditch in 1901 and constructed three additional ditches; the Ward Ditch, Skalkaho Hi-Line Ditch, and Hedge Ditch. These ditches have been slightly altered over the years, but in many ways they function just as they did in 1901.
More information will be added when it becomes available.

What is ‘historically informed performance practice’ really? For Hermann Max, it is the synthesis between the committed attempt to research and analyse the conditions, means, methods and intentions of each composer, and the ambition to realize the insights musically with as much vision, energy, physicality and sensuality as possible. Max is of course well aware that any analysis of historic sources remains an interpretation. Yet it is precisely this interpretative work which is his focus. His own writings demonstrate his working method.

A few weeks ago I was at Unseen Amsterdam, where I saw many gorgeous works. One of the things standing out to me was a series of orotones by Naohiro Ninomiya. Drop dead gorgeous! Partly because of the orotone process, but to be frank, to a large extent due to the minimalistic, contemplative compositions that worked very well as presented at Unseen, in a collage of small images. Well, at least, I could try my hand at this orotone thing, couldn’t I?
The first time I heard about orotones must have been a couple of years ago, and some research indicated that Edward Curtis was one of the early pioneers of the technique. The basic principle is simple: make a photographic print on glass and coat the backside with gold. The result is a black and white…err…black and gold photograph, with the highlights being, well, golden.
Yes, it’s on the verge of kitsch by definition. But hey, guilty pleasures and all that.
The basic principle is simple enough, but this still leaves plenty of parameters to play with. Taking the work of Curtis as an example (the process is nicely documented here): he took a glass plate with a silver halide black and white emulsion, and made a positive print on this using a negative. He then poured brass powder suspended in ‘banana oil’ (isoamyl acetate) on the backside of the print. The resulting image, when viewed through the glass plate, is a black positive on a gold-colored, lustrous background. So no actual gold – but it looks close enough.
If all you have is a hammer, everything becomes a nail.
The only work I do with black and white silver gelatin is on ready-made fiber-based and sometimes resin coated paper. No home-made emulsions, not factory-made even liquid emulsion (e.g. Adox Polywarmtone, Foma, Rollei Black Magic). What I have been doing lots of lately, of course, is carbon transfer. And since that works perfectly fine on glass…why not? So let that be my black hammer.
Now for the gold one. Frankly, I’m just scratching the surface here and I basically picked the first thing I could get my hands on. I went to my local arts supplies store and picked up a little jar of ‘glimmer fish gold yellow‘ pigment. It’s really finely ground mica with a pigment added to it. The pigment is unspecified, but if I were to guess, it might be something really simple like iron oxide.
Having worked with dry pigments a lot over the past year or so, I was prepared to experiment with making a sufficiently stable and even dispersion with it by whatever means necessary. Turns out it doesn’t have to be that complicated, because the manufacturer absolutely loaded the stuff with a dispersing agent. If you drop it into water, it’ll disperse pretty much by itself. Convenient, and surprisingly effective!
The first thing I wanted to try, was to make the gold coating that would constitute the bottom layer of the image. After all, this was the bit of uncharted terrain for me, since I had done carbon on glass many times before, so I knew how to approach that part.
The first thing I did was take some acrylic medium (basically thick acrylic paint with no colorant added), mixed in some of the faux-gold pigment and then used a foam roller to roll it onto a scrap piece of glass. Well, that didn’t really work. The acrylic just stuck to the glass in small bumps, leaving most of the glass uncovered. I then proceeded to dilute the remaining acrylic paste with water to make a free-flowing liquid, and poured that over the same plate. This nicely filled in the valleys between the bumps. But it took a loooooong time to dry and harden. It works, but it’s slightly inconvenient.
Why not keep things relatively simple, materials-wise, and use the same colloid I’m using for the black part as well? It’s going to be a gelatin-based image, so in keeping with the carbon transfer part, I might as well just use gelatin for the gold layer.
That was easy enough to figure out – since there is no need for an exposure, just pouring a pigmented gelatin onto glass should do the trick. So that was my second angle of attack. Lo and behold – this worked perfectly! I guessed the gelatin to pigment ratio as something like 10% (for 1g gelatin, use 100mg pigment) and that sure enough seems to be in the ballpark. Using the Gelita 280 bloom porcine gelatin, a gelatin-to-water ratio of around 5% works well enough. It flows easily during application and yet, it sets within a reasonable amount of time as well.
The only caveat with this approach is that the glass plate needs to be kept steady on a level surface until the gelatin sets. This takes a couple of minutes, depending on working conditions, and seems feasible enough. As soon as the gelatin has set, the plate can be put up vertically to dry – which takes a long time, as with carbon tissue, but it can of course be done in daylight.
Right, so now for an actual image. I figured that this orotone thing would work the best with images with lots of bright highlights and perhaps even entirely open areas. So I rummaged through an old box of collodion negatives I made some years ago and picked something that seemed technically suitable: a negative that I intensified using a copper sulfate & potassium bromide bleach followed by a silver nitrate & nitric acid intensifier. Lots of density. Good.
For the print, I picked a carbon tissue literally from the top of the stack, which turned out to be a lucky guess. It was a DAS-sensitized high-pigment load tissue (2% Kremer XSL black w/w to gelatin). I guessed exposure at 10 minutes, which also turned out a very reasonable guess, and produced a passable print on a sheet of glass a little larger than 4×5″ that I simply scrubbed thoroughly with some handsoap. The print has a bit of an alignment issue, with the print sitting on top of (actually, hanging over) the bottom edge. Beginner’s luck only extends so far, eh.
For the gold backing, I used the gelatin approach and went with a 5% pigment to gelatin ratio, poured directly onto the dried gelatin image matrix. This pigment load was a little on the light side, although it actually works fairly well with the final plate sitting on a white background.
Here it is, scanned on the old Epson 4990:
Problems with digitizing these orotones manifest themselves immediately. Indeed, it’s hard, or even impossible, to capture the unique nature of these plates. It’s a combination of the glossy/reflective glass surface and the pearlescent nature of the gold backing that shines through the image itself. You really need to move your eyes in relation to the print/plate to see this. Hold the plate at an angle to the light, and the gold starts to shine brightly through the highlights of the image. Look at it at a straight angle, and you see a black & white image with very appealing contrast and a rich and deep hue to the highlights.
These plates have to be experienced in order to make sense. So the illustrations on this page are really just that – examples that may help you form a mental image of what the real thing looks like.
Above is the same plate at an angle; note the reflection of the window on the glass surface in the top left corner and the lustre of the gold backing.
There were a few things I wasn’t quite happy with on this plate. Firstly, I had some trouble during the carbon transfer exposure. My printing frame is really made for film negatives, not for glass plates, so I didn’t have a way to ensure good contact between the glass plate negative and the carbon tissue. This results in a large area of unfocused blur in the center of the image. It is also responsible for the fuzzy edges on the black mask around the image, which I don’t particularly fancy.
A second issue was the covering power or opacity of the gold backing. I felt that more density in the gold layer was worth a try, in the hopes of getting a richer golden hue, much like the small test plates I coated with just the gold layer.
Finally, there was the alignment issue, which is just a matter of paying attention when positioning the negative on the carbon tissue.
So for a second attempt, I picked a film negative that was conveniently lying around. Again, I picked an image with lots of density in the negative and a large patch of open sky in the center. I also mixed in some more gold pigment into the melted gelatin and I paid attention for a change when making the carbon transfer contact print.
My first try of this new image was a miserable failure, with the entire image just sliding off of the glass plate. Not really sure how this happened, but I guess that the glass plate that I cleaned along with the one from the first test had perhaps in the meantime collected a super thin film of grease or contamination as it sat in my darkroom for a few hours. Or maybe the main contributing factor was that in this new attempt, I did get a sharp edge to the black mask, and during warm water development, the water will beat against such a sharp and high edge with some force, resulting in it dislocating and tearing off the rest of the image with it (‘flagging’).
Either way, I had to improve the adhesion qualities of my glass a bit, so I resorted to first rubbing the glass with some water and calcium carbonate to thoroughly polish it. I then made a mixture of a tiny bit of albumen in water, and dipped the plate into it. Finally, after drying the albumen subbing on the glass, I misted the plate with ethanol to harden the albumen.
This did the trick alright and the next transfer was robust. Here’s how that image came out:
Well, again, digitization problems. What looks like a harsh image with garish orange and yellow tones, is in reality quite different. This smartphone snapshot of the plate held at an angle to the light makes a little more sense:
Well, I guess you’ll just have to take my word for it that the visual effect is really quite compelling. It’s everything I imagined it to be and approximates closely (if not, duplicates) what I saw in Ninomiya’s work at Unseen.
Maybe this final photo of both plates side by side is the most realistic representation I’ve managed, although in reality, the gold lustre is so much richer than in the snapshot.
Well, in any case: the process seems straightforward enough, and I’m actually starting to think about a small project I’d like to print with this method. But it will have to wait for a little bit until I’ve figured out where I’d like to take this exactly. Creative opportunities!
PS: since these are essentially carbon transfers on glass, the relief of the image is actually visible on the backside of the print:
It’s a nice touch, although it’s a bit of a hidden gem, since the relief is of course not visible when the image is viewed properly; i.e. from the front.

‘Summon Me, Not My Officers’: CM Amarinder To Punjab Governor
The CM accused the BJP of bringing a constitutional office into “unsavoury politics”.
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has hit out at state Governor VP Singh Badnore after the latter summoned top officials of the government and the police over vandalism of mobile towers last month.
Amarinder said that the Govenor should have summoned him instead as he holds the Home portfolio and also accused the BJP of bringing a constitutional office into "unsavoury politics".
"While the propaganda of the BJP on collapse of law and order in the state was nothing more than a tactic to divert attention from the farm laws issue and the resultant farmers' agitation, if the governor nevertheless had any concerns on the situation, he should have taken up the matter directly with me as custodian of the Home Portfolio", said a statement from the Chief Minister's office.
"At a time when the very existence of our farmers is at stake, the BJP leaders are busy indulging in petty politics and also dragging the Constitutional office of the Governor into their unsavoury agenda", the statement further added.
Hundreds of mobile towers in Punjab, mostly belonging to Reliance Jio, were put out of action last month, allegedly by farmers protesting the centre's agriculture laws. Captain Singh had issued a stern warning regarding the incident and had asked the police to take action against those responsible.
"These damaged towers can be and are being repaired, but what about the lives of the farmers lost in the bitter cold at Delhi borders, where they continue to fight for their rights amid total apathy from the BJP-led government at the Centre?" asked Amarinder.
Farmers from Punjab and Haryana have been on protest over the last few weeks against three new agricultural laws introduced by the Central government.

In the excellent “unexpurgated” edition of Cecil Beaton’s diary that Hugo Vickers published with Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 2002 almost twenty years ago, there is a compelling section on Marlene Dietrich which talks of the TV rerun of a live show given in a London theatre for her seventieth birthday. The precision of the still keen eye of the photographer, to my mind as sharp a writer as he was a photographer albeit more scathing, is punctuated by the fact that he watched the show on television. Every wrinkle, every glint of her hair or canary-yellow gown, the extraordinary hieratic aspect of an unruffled artificial model, were delivered with unforgiving cruelty and heightened impact due to the fact that this was a miniature Marlene, reduced to the size of a colour television screen of the time.
“The doll can show surprise, it can walk, it can swish into place the train of its white fur coat.” The devilish coldness of analysis stems from the remoteness of the man we imagine on the inside, as stitched and starched as he would appear in public, but here on the inside, and from the star he knew and disliked, of whom he had taken a series of front-running portraits forty years earlier (notably one in which she resembles Natalie Paley); this late encounter between the two (1973) was as boneless and shadowy as the final ball in Le Temps Retrouvé. “It showed the best that TV can do: the quality of photography was extraordinarily exact and one saw more and heard more truly than if one had been part of the wildly enthusiastic audience…” Beaton here marvels at what today has become our norm, fetishistic distant images of diminutive beauties. It’s as if we can hear him commenting on the previous day’s TV programmes with the Windsor’s, old folk together, in a twilight excerpt from the same diary.
The Parisian couture shows this year will have the immaterial splendour of being merely shows for shadows. Very much “haute solitude” that we will be asked to watch on a smartphone anywhere outside the venue where they are taking place. The usual runway, the extraordinary human warmth produced by the spotlights in the heat of summer, the smell of bodies, of your neighbour’s perfume, the small talk that becomes increasingly perilous or sterile as the people around you mill and swell in number, models in the flesh – a breed of girl with the air of rare birds suggesting there might be an international grooming centre producing the same archetypes each year -, dressers, hairdressers, people backstage, air swirling from the runway, music booming from the sound system, the silence, discordant music from photographers, the shouting, the accidents and the jostling… none of this will happen. A strange instant of disembodiment but one that will certainly prove salutary as it recreates this winter a greater longing than ever for what, in some cases, has become a routine that only death could interrupt.
My first fashion show, Paco Rabanne, dates back to the time when my mother’s close friend, a tiger tamer from the Bouglione circus called Catherine Blankart, fully dressed (or rather undressed with a few pieces of metal) for her act with Paco, took us to a show (the word was not yet in use back in 1973). I remember my emotions in front of these half-naked girls, many of whom were of Afro-American or Creole origin. I often hung out at the Paris Winter Circus (Cirque d’Hiver), accompanying Catherine backstage to the smell of lion and elephant pee, and I always felt that the Paco Rabanne runway was a feminine show, a tad boring but always very erotic. Much later, very much later, I returned to the catwalks to watch an Alaia show with Tina Turner. Then a few top numbers… Then every season for ten years. And then the notion of “circus” struck me again: things had changed, fashion was more opulent, more violent, more spectacular. The paparazzi exchanged insults, hairdressers wore Stetsons and sported tattoos, the supermodels had a name and pages in the newspapers like Roman courtesans or gladiators. Amidst the turmoil, high-flying artists like Galliano were able to produce music sensitive enough to impress the best of us, and produce emotions of beauty from which we emerged happier souls than we had been before entering the arena.
The energy of fashion, far superior to the theatre, holy mass or modern dance ballets, all of which were spectacles that I attended at different ages of my life, stemmed, I believe, from the concentration of money, power and rivalry over a very short distance and very short time, during which we were still able to get bored if it was bad, too slow, too ugly or if the music was rubbish… Yet in this condensate of a few minutes, hardly longer than a rock song, so much vibrant energy had built up and was then suddenly released without any possibility of starting again from the top.
But I’m talking in the past tense and that’s foolish…
On a mobile phone screen, without the power of fascination of a live show, without the buzz of the audience, the perspective will inevitably be different… Would Beaton have written of Marlene, if he had actually been present in the London theatre where she performed: “Marlene is certainly a great star, not without talent, but with a genius for believing in her self-fabricated beauty, for knowing that she is the most alluring fantastic idol, an out-of-this world goddess or mythological animal, a sacred unicorn. Her success is out of proportion, and yet it is entirely due to her perseverance that she is not just an old discarded film star”? The answer is no. Distance, here, is not only that of time or of the old haughty photographer who has seen it all, but also that of the medium. A fashion show watched at home featuring diminutive screen-sized women hits different chords, awakening a sense of cruelty or boredom due to the very little effort required, but also producing a certain salutary hindsight that beats nostalgia. My, how we miss the rain, the traffic jams, the jostling and all those friendly or ridiculous people who blossom here in Paris with the regularity of cherry trees in Japan.

• “Fast Money Music” set to a picture of the reissue album cover. Thanks to 0.96574812.
“Excellent Electronica from the USA”
From their album “Suicide: Alan Vega · Martin Rev” (Island Records ILPS-7007), released in 1980.
Sonically, the second Suicide record was a tad more polished, and so lost some of the disturbing lo-fi allure which had been so affecting on the debut.
Still, that is a relative complaint for there was much to cherish all the same, I give you exhibit A.
On “Fast Money Music”, Martin Rev’s in yer face manic loops combined with the nervous energy of Alan Vega’s vocal delivery is vintage Suicide.
Alan Vega… 1938 to 2016… still alive in endless time and endless art.

The Griffith University study published today (Thursday 9am US East Coast) in the journal Stem Cells found that adult stem cells harvested from the noses of Parkinson's patients gave rise to dopamine-producing brain cells when transplanted into the brain of a rat.
The debilitating symptoms of Parkinson's such as loss of muscle control are caused by degeneration of cells that produce the essential chemical dopamine in the brain.
Current drug therapies replace dopamine in the brain, but these often become less effective after prolonged use.
The discovery is the work of the National Centre for Adult Stem Cell Research, part of Griffith's Eskitis Institute for Cell and Molecular Therapies.
Project leader Professor Alan Mackay-Sim said researchers simulated Parkinson's symptoms in rats by creating lesions on one side of the brain similar to the damage Parkinson's causes in the human brain.
"The lesions to one side of the brain made the rats run in circles," he said.
"When stem cells from the nose of Parkinson's patients were cultured and injected into the damaged area the rats re-aquired the ability to run in a straight line.
"All animals transplanted with the human cells had a dramatic reduction in the rate of rotation within just 3 weeks," he said.
"This provided evidence the cells had differentiated to give rise to dopamine-producing neurons influenced by being in the environment of the brain. In-vitro tests also revealed the presence of dopamine."
"Significantly, none of the transplants led to formation of tumours or teratomas in the host rats as has occurred after embryonic stem cell transplantation in a similar model.
He said like all stem cells, stem cells from the olfactory nerve in the nose are 'naïve' having not yet differentiated into which sort of cells they will give rise to.
"They can still be influenced by the environment they are put into. In this case we transplanted them into the brain, where they were directed to give rise to dopamine producing brain cells."
The advantage of using a patient's own cells is that, unlike stem cells from a foreign embryo, they are not rejected by the patient's immune system, so patients are free from a lifetime of potentially dangerous immuno-suppressant drug therapy.
This development follows Professor Mackay-Sim's 2006 development of a world-first technique that demonstrated that olfactory adult stem cells can give rise to heart, nerve, liver and brain cells.

In recent years, lasers with ultrashort pulses (USP) down to the femtosecond range have become established on an industrial scale. They could advance some applications with the much-lauded “cold ablation” – if that meant they would then achieve more throughput. A new generation of process engineering that will address this issue in particular will be discussed at the “4th UKP Workshop – Ultrafast Laser Technology” in April 2017.
Even back in the 1990s, scientists were comparing materials processing with nanosecond, picosecond and femtosesecond pulses. The result was surprising:...

In experiments with magnetic atoms conducted at extremely low temperatures, scientists have demonstrated a unique phase of matter: The atoms form a new type of quantum liquid or quantum droplet state. These so called quantum droplets may preserve their form in absence of external confinement because of quantum effects.

The Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP) is opening up a new research field. A workshop from November 21 - 22, 2016 will mark the start of activities for an innovative axion experiment.

The “MADMAX” project is the MPP’s commitment to axion research. Axions are so far only a theoretical prediction and are difficult to detect: on the one hand,...
