THE WRITER, director, actor and producer Ossie Davis was an outspoken advocate for human rights, and a highly respected "father figure" for African Americans in the performing arts. A few years older than Sidney Poitier, Davis never wanted the international fame of his contemporary, but he remained a strong character player for over half a century after making his screen debut with Poitier in No Way Out.
In addition to more than 120 appearances as an actor in films and on television, Davis also spread his wings in the film industry, making his directorial debut with Cotton Comes to Harlem, based on Chester Himes's 1965 novel. Asked why his career did not result in a "Poitier-like" stardom, Davis said,
There are ways you can make yourself a more saleable commodity. I didn't pursue those ways. My wife [the actress Ruby Dee] and I did build careers for ourselves and in the process did many theatrical things . . . on street corners, churches, union halls, schools. And, in doing it our way, we didn't have to sell more of ourselves than we could get back before the sun went down.
Ossie Davis was born Raiford Chatman Davis in 1917 in Cogdell, Georgia ("R.C." became "Ossie"). His father was a railroad engineer and his mother, Davis recalled, "carried a pistol in her bosom to protect her five children". After finishing high school in 1935, Davis hitchhiked north, to Washington, DC, and enrolled at Howard University. In 1939, he left for New York, hoping to become a writer, but he found the going tough.
Before joining the Harlem-based Rose McClendon Players theatre group, Davis worked as a janitor and stock clerk, and then pushed a handcart in a garment district. Shortly thereafter he was drafted, and during the Second World War he served in the medical corps in West Africa, and wrote and produced shows for the troops.
After his discharge, Davis made his Broadway stage debut in Jeb, as a wounded veteran returning to the race-baiting South. Also in the cast was Ruby Dee, whom he married in December 1948. Some 50 years later, with three grown-up children, and hundreds of writing, acting and directing projects behind them, the couple continued to share many common interests. Davis said:
You start out as lovers, then you're husband and wife, then you're parents, then co-workers, and ultimately you arrive at being friends.
In 1989 Davis and Dee were inducted into the NAACP Image Hall of Fame and last year they were among the recipients of the Kennedy Center Honors - with Warren Beatty, Sir Elton John, Dame Joan Sutherland and John Williams.
Davis made his film debut in No Way Out (1950). Until then, he hadn't thought about the role of cinema as anything but an entertainment. He later reflected,
It's the great American drive toward trivialising every damn thing . . . I never thought of movies as making major statements, although I was impressed with Grapes of Wrath  . . . The first motion picture I was in, No Way Out, had to do with black folks struggling to be treated fairly in the country and it was not a bad statement, so I liked that.
During the 1950s he continued to appear in small roles in films and in 1955 he made one of his first television appearances with a leading role in Eugene O'Neill's The Emperor Jones. Over the next half-century he made numerous appearances on American television, including such top-rated shows as The Defenders, Bonanza, Roots: The Next Generations, Touched by an Angel and Cosby, and highly regarded made-for-television movies like Miss Evers' Boys (1997). In 1969 he was nominated for an Emmy for his role in Teacher, Teacher. On Broadway he supported Lena Horne in the long-running musical Jamaica (1957), for which he was nominated for a Tony, and in 1959 he replaced Sidney Poitier in Lorraine Hansberry's acclaimed drama A Raisin in the Sun.
His one-act play Alice in Wonder, dealing with the politics of the McCarthy era, was produced in Harlem in 1953 and in 1961 he brought Purlie Victorious, his hilarious satire on racial attitudes in the old South, to Broadway, starring in it alongside Ruby Dee and Godfrey Cambridge. Two years later it was filmed as Gone are the Days!. His most recent play, Last Dance for Sybil, which starred Ruby Dee, premiered in New York in 2002.
In 1965 he made his British film debut in Sidney Lumet's The Hill, playing a soldier jailed in a disciplinary camp. Sean Connery starred. For his portrayal of a defiant fugitive slave in The Scalphunters (1968) he received a nomination for a Golden Globe as Best Supporting Actor.
He was originally contracted to play Coffin Ed in Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970). The film's producer, Sam Goldwyn Jnr, asked him to rewrite some of the script when, Davis explained, "I was finally sidetracked and sandbagged into rewriting the whole script!" He was later persuaded by Goldwyn to take over as director and Raymond St Jacques replaced him as Coffin Ed.
The following year Davis became a founder member of a group called Third World Cinema Corporation, aimed at increasing the opportunities for African Americans and Puerto Ricans in cinema. He also attacked some of the so- called "blaxploitation" films of the era, including Superfly (1972). "We're paying for images of our degradation," he complained.
Other films as a director included a 1971 adaptation of Wole Soyinka's Kongi's Harvest, shot in Nigeria, Black Girl (1972), a moving study of black family life and a young woman's attempt to escape the ghetto, Gordon's War (1973) and Countdown to Kusini (1976), which he financed himself, a tale about a fight in Africa for liberation.
Davis was the chairman of the Angela Davis Defense Fund and delivered eulogies at the funerals of both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. In 1978 he was nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of Martin Luther King's father in King, a television mini-series, and in 1992 he appeared in Spike Lee's Malcolm X, starring Denzel Washington. About Malcolm X, Davis once said, "He was our manhood, our living black manhood! And, in honouring him, we honour the best in ourselves." In 1999 he narrated St Clair Bourne's American Masters documentary Paul Robeson: Here I Stand.
After appearing in Spike Lee's School Daze (1988), Davis joined that director's repertory company, and was cast in memorable roles in Do the Right Thing (1989), as Da Mayor, the drink-dependent elder statesman, Jungle Fever (1991), Get On the Bus (1996) and She Hate Me (2004). In a 1997 interview with Allister Harry, he said:
I believe that in some sense I do represent a floating father figure in Spike's films. I provide him with the parameters that he will not go beyond. I think he says to himself if Ossie understands it then the rest of the old black folk will understand.
When Halle Berry, Denzel Washington and Sidney Poitier received Oscars at the 2003 ceremony, Davis commented,
One of the things I hate most about Hollywood is the whole Oscar idea, but, having said that, I'm very glad, even at this late date, that Halle and Denzel did win, although I was sorry that the films themselves were so negative and to sometime degree perverse . . . We [black people]'ve always had to come into the American kingdom from the whorehouse or the shithouse; they wouldn't let us in the front door . . . and I'm glad they gave old Sidney that lifetime award. So to me the Oscar situation was a positive one . . . but I think that, if you're going to have bullshit, at least have equal-rights bullshit - let black folks be involved too.
Raiford Chatman ("Ossie") Davis, writer, director, actor and producer: born Cogdell, Georgia 18 December 1917; married 1948 Ruby Dee (one son, two daughters); died Miami Beach, Florida 4 February 2005.

Better privacy control as long as you trust Google.
If you haven’t heard about the AdID before, it’s because there is no such thing yet. However, according to USAToday, Google is working on an anonymous identifier (AdID), which would eventually replace everyone’s beloved cookies.
As stated in the article, AdID would allow ad companies to target various web browser users but there are certain guidelines that would give consumers more control over their privacy, which does sound good on a paper.
Now here’s a non-news story for you.
If you are using Google Analytics and IE8, then you’re going to have a bad time as the search giant has recently announced its plans to drop the support for Microsoft’s web browser by the end of 2013.
As it says in the blog post, Google has “decided to do this to both accelerate the pace at which we can innovate new product features, and to facilitate adoption of newer web technologies in the design of the Google Analytics product.”
Plugin-less web browsers is the future.
Introduced in late 90s with Netscape Navigator 2.0, Netscape Plug-in API (NPAPI) has transformed web browsers in ways that were hard to imagine. More than 20 years later, it looks like NPAPI now does more harm than good, which is why Google has recently announced it plans to get rid of the old dog.
According to Google Chrome security engineer, Justin Schuh, “NPAPI’s 90s-era architecture has become a leading cause of hangs, crashes, security incidents, and code complexity.” and it’s hard to argue with him.
Windows users rejoice.
If you’ve been using Apple’s iCloud service on Windows but found a lack of Firefox and Chrome bookmarks support disappointing then good news because this is exactly what the recent update includes.
Yes, you can finally sync all major browser bookmarks (Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome) on your PC’s.
Recently, Mozilla has released the Beta version of Firefox 25 for Android, which features some UI improvements and obviously, new features.
Thanks to a newly added guest browsing feature, you can now log out of your current Firefox session and switch to another mode, which will protect your private data (history, bookmarks, etc.) and delete the data that was collected during guest browsing session when it’s ended.
We are not sure how many more videos with the same message Microsoft can make but here’s the most recent one, in which the software giant asks you to rethink its relations with Internet Explorer and forget about all the horrible things it did in the past.
One thing Microsoft has shown again and again however is the fact that once they get ahead, they still stop innovating and start abusing you (horrible IE, ridiculous Xbox Live Gold prices for an ability to watch Netflix, etc). So let’s just say that we don’t want to rethink our relations.
Releasing two versions at once, Mozilla has recently revealed the final bits of Firefox 24 for both PC and Android.
Looking at the changelog, Firefox 24 appears to be mostly focused towards the mobile users, at least in terms of added functionality. When it comes to Android branch, you can expect WebRTC support, tab sharing between users using NFC and a Night mode in Reader.
Removes tab syncing options.
If you’ve been dreaming about a slightly dumbed down version of Internet Explorer 11 then Windows 7 compatible build might just be it.
In case you are using a touch based web browser, then we have some good and bad news for you. The good news: Internet Explorer 11 is coming with Windows 8.1 (which is free). The bad news? It looks like Mozilla has postponed the launch of Firefox for Metro UI until late January, 2014.
However, there are more good news at the end of the tunnel. Even though the final Windows 8 version is not coming anytime soon, Firefox 26 will include a “Preview Release”, which should work just fine.

Oscar-Nominated Short Films Shine on Our Big Screen February 5, 2019
It’s become a popular tradition at the MFAH to screen the Oscar-nominated short films in the weeks leading up to the Academy Awards ceremony, which this year falls on February 24. We are the exclusive local venue for all three short-film categories: Animated, Live-Action, and Documentary. The series begins February 8 and continues after the awards ceremony, through March 3—giving MFAH audiences a chance to see whether they agree with the winners!
- The 17 nominated films represent talented filmmakers from Canada, India, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States and comprise a diverse range of classic and historical subjects.
- We often get questions about the suitability of the Oscar-nominated shorts for younger viewers—so please note that this year’s Animated program has a PG rating. It’s recommended for ages 8 & older because several of the films cover difficult topics. The Live-Action and Documentary programs are Rated R.
- Who chooses the nominees? As this Mental Floss article shows, it’s a rather complicated process.
More Short-Film Fun
We are lucky that Houston has many other opportunities throughout the year to watch short films. Aurora Picture Show schedules extraordinary short films year-round. The Houston Film Commission’s monthly First Thursdays often include shorts, and the HFC also organizes the Texas Filmmakers Showcase, a juried compilation of mini masterpieces. The Houston Cinema Arts Society’s CineSpace program, presented in partnership with NASA, is an annual competition of shorts that features footage from NASA’s archives.
Numerous annual local film festivals include shorts in their lineups. This spring, I encourage you to seek out the Houston Latino Film Festival, WorldFest Houston, Literally Short, HAAPIFest, and QFest (for which the MFAH is one of the venues), to name a few.
See the Oscar-nominated short films every weekend from February 8 through March 3! Check showtimes and get tickets in advance.

Who We Are
The United Presbyterian Church of Millstone of Millstone dates back to approximately 1777, when a mission statement was established under the auspices of the Tennent Presbyterian Church. This makes it the fourth oldest church in the Presbytery. The Rev. Joseph (some references use “John”) Clark, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Allentown, was employed to conduct regular religious services in 1786. In 1796 land was purchased for a church in Perrineville, Monmouth County, New Jersey and that same year an enclosed, but unfinished church building was established with the Rev. John D. Woodhull preaching on a monthly basis. The Presbyterian congregation was originally known as the Second Presbyterian Church of Upper Freehold, as that area was then part of Upper Freehold Township.
A congregation was organized in 1826, with 13 charter members with Rev. William Henry Woodhull as the first settled pastor. In the same year the church was remodeled, enlarged and finished. In 1847 the church was incorporated as the First Presbyterian Church of Millstone (Perrineville became part of Millstone Township which was incorporated in 1844). The church was again remodeled in 1857. On January 6, 1884, a fire destroyed the original edifice; but by December 18th, of the same year, the congregation had erected another building at the same location and dedicated it debt-free. This is the church that stands today in Perrineville. David Clark Perrine of Freehold donated a hand-carved pulpit of walnut wood (it’s not known if that is the same pulpit in use at present); and Thomas Perrine’s sons of Philadelphia contributed the hymnals, the bell, and pulpit Bible.
Adjacent to the church is a cemetery with graves dating back to the late 1700’s. The Perrineville Cemetery Company Inc. is a separate corporation from our church.
By 1929, one minister served both the Perrineville and Manalapan Presbyterian churches. The Manalapan church was located at the corner of Route 33 and Conover Road, next to the cemetery. The Perrineville church was used for winter services because it had heat; and in the summer the Manalapan church was used. This arrangement continued until 1953, when the two congregations united to form the United Presbyterian Church of Millstone. After the merger, the Manalapan church became an African-American congregation and closed in 1954. The Manalapan church was demolished in the late 1960’s.
A manse was built adjacent to the Perrineville church in the 1950’s. Prior to that, a manse at the Manalapan Church was used.
The bell tower was restored in the late 1980’s, and the original one floor area in the rear of the church was expanded to provide two floors for the Sunday School/Preschool rooms.
In 2002 the congregation agreed to purchase a 10-acre lot adjoining the Perrineville church property from Mr. Elmer Vigh. The mortgage for the lot was paid off in early 2012. This lot is currently the site of our Community Garden and will also be used for future church improvements.

I’m busy watching the Royal Variety Performance, and one of my bug-bears has reared its ugly head: The trans-sexual song. You know, one of those songs popularised by a person of one gender… yet performed by a person of another gender. And rather than simply sing the song as was written, they take the decision to swap the words around so they don’t sound, y’know, gay or something.
Sometimes, it’s fine. For example, ‘The Power of Love‘ is a serial trans-sexual, and “You are my lad-ee, and I am your man” does not sound so unnatural next to its opposite (“I am your lady, and you are my man,” which I assume is the original).
At other times, however, the sex-change makes a mockery of the song and its lyrics. In tonight’s gala, young crooners Teatro gave a harmonised rendition of ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ from Boubil and Schonberg’s private mint, Les Miserables. But, the song was given a sex change, and such poignant lines such as “he slept a summer by my side” and “he was gone when autumn came” were emasculated. Since the song is about stolen innocence, broken trust and the crushed dreams of a teenaged girl, the emotional intensity of the song was dropped into the surgeon’s waste bin along with its gonads.
Its irritating that these guys are making a living by taking this kind of liberty, and calling it art. I would rather they kept to the original lyrics, and made a stab at trying to convey the original emotions. Voice and music are powerful enough to communicate such things, regardless the gender of the person singing.
Indeed, a quick Google search suggests that apparently singer Michael Ball, who was in the original cast of Les Miserables, sang the same song without feeling the need to change any lyrics. Interestingly, he was also a part of the same Royal Variety Performance, dressed in drag for a role in his new show, Hairspray. Clearly, Michael doesn’t feel the need to keep reminding everyone he has balls.

Drinking water can be poisoned by asphalt, roofing tar and other construction materials, so the development industry will have to be regulated along with other businesses in a wellfield protection ordinance, a Palm Beach County advisory board told builders Monday.
The wellfield ordinance now being drafted should include restrictions on the use of construction materials in much the same way it will limit use of industrial chemicals, said members of a Water Resources Management Advisory Board subcommittee.
Subcommittee members conceded that no individual construction job is likely to poison drinking water.
"But when you consider how much construction we have going on in the county, and how much construction will be going on, the cumulative effect (of spills) could be high," said James Brindell, chairman of the subcommittee.
Builders said they were willing to help work out a set of rules that would protect groundwater supplies.
"The construction industry is just as interested, if not more interested, in what you folks are doing as any other industry," said Jim Carr of the Palm Beach County Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association.
"What we don't want to see is a virtual end to construction in the area."
Brindell answered: "We don't want that either . . . Our purpose is not to keep the structures from being constructed."
The subcommittee agreed to set up a smaller panel of people familiar with construction methods and groundwater protection to work out a set of rules acceptable to builders and government officials.
Most wellfields appear to be in established urban areas, Brindell said. Therefore, the effect of the ordinance on the construction industry could be limited, Brindell said. But the pinpointing of locations where spilled chemicals can affect drinking water quality has not been completed yet.
The proposed law would require many businesses to move if they are in a spot where leaking chemicals could make their way into drinking water supplies in 30 days or less.

PAGE ONE -- `A Revolution Has Begun' / Leaders herald start of Beijing conference
1995-09-05 04:00:00 PDT Beijing -- A workers' choir sang Beethoven's Ode to Joy, acrobats in glittering spandex did somersaults and women martial arts experts fought off male attackers at the Great Hall of the People as thousands heralded yesterday's opening of the Fourth World Conference on Women.
In speech after speech, world leaders talked about how the U.N. conference could permanently change the world. "A revolution has begun," conference Secretary-General Gertrude Mongella said to loud cheers. "There's no going back."
But even amid the glitz, there were signs of the controversies that are likely to emerge in the next two weeks as more than 180 countries attempt to create a blueprint for improving the lives of women.
Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto addressed one of the key disputes as she called the draft of the U.N. document "disturbingly weak on the role of the traditional family."
The 147-page draft Platform for Action needs to "strengthen the role of the traditional family as the bedrock of the society," she said. "Disintegration of the family generates moral decay."
Bhutto also denounced what she called the propaganda of a handful of people who say Islam gives women second-class status, drawing a distinction between Islamic teachings and social taboos that discriminate against women.
She added, however, that "the rights Islam gave Muslim women too often have been denied." For example, Bhutto said, discrimination against baby girls is still widespread and has resulted in an imbalance between the sexes in more than 15 Asian nations where men now outnumber women.
At a press briefing after Bhutto's speech, U.S. delegates said they were surprised by her criticism of the Platform for Action.
"What is more supportive of families than the elimination of poverty, than investments in the economy of countries that provide opportunities for work?" said Donna Shalala, secretary of Health and Human Services and a co-chairwoman of the U.S. delegation. "What is more supportive of the family than health care for women and children?"
But some conservative groups, concerned about mentions of sexual orientation and reproductive freedom, cheered Bhutto's remarks. They are joined by governments from Honduras, Guatemala and Sudan in their attempt to remove certain provisions from the platform.
Back inside the Great Hall of the People, Chinese President Jiang Zemin said it is women "who have nurtured generation upon generation of new lives, among them millions of heroes, scholars and poets."
Jiang said discrimination against women is as old as history. "Prejudices against women, like an invisible chain, fetter the hearts and minds of millions," he said. "Such outworn mentality should have long been discarded."
After the speeches, the variety show began. But as the colorful opening ceremonies took place, new charges arose about China's heavy-handed security.
Winnie Mandela missed the events after she and 20 South African delegates showed up late and were told no one would be allowed in for security reasons. The group tried unsuccessfully to force its way inside.
An hour north of Beijing at the nongovernmental forum in Huairou, hundreds of women holding a protest against women's suffering defied Chinese police to break through a cordon marking the boundary of the forum site.
The women, vanguard of a 1,000-strong demonstration of women clad in black and carrying candles, ignored a Chinese order to confine their demonstrations to the site.
The events prompted a pointed critique from Baroness Chalker, leader of Britain's delegation to the conference: "While we accept that China has a different way of life, this is a U.N. conference, not a Chinese conference." she said. "If they invite the U.N. here, they should keep to U.N. rules."
Despite the disputes over China's tight security, the nation's leaders reveled in their role as hosts.
Yesterday, Premier Li Peng invited 250 VIPs from the U.N. conference to an evening banquet at the Diaoyutai State Guest House. A red carpet stretched for the guests, and young women in bright pink traditional dress greeted them.
Li prepared a toast to the success of the conference and "to the realization of equality between men and women, to world peace and development, to the friendship and cooperation among women of all countries."

Whoops, got caught out this weekend and didn’t get my soup done in time, so for this week only (hopefully) we have a Smonday Soup ;) Inspired by this recipe, here.
Celery is the marmite of the vegetable world – most people either love or hate it. I’ve gone from hate to love – especially when it comes to adding it to soups – so it was a natural progression to try a soup with it as the main ingredient. Despite that, though, this soup is only mildly celery flavoured with the odd burst of it when you crunch through an unblended stalk.
Celery, Herb & Almond Soup
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion
- 6 sticks of celery
- 2 tbsps fresh parsley
- 2 tbsps fresh marjoram
- 2 tbsps fresh sage
- 1 tsp dill
- 50g almonds
- 300ml chicken stock
- 300ml skimmed milk
- 3 heaped tbsp low-fat natural yoghurt
- Chop the onion and celery whilst the oil is heating in a saucepan.
- Add the onions and celery to the oil and heat until softened.
- Add in all other ingredients except the yoghurt.
- Boil for around 15 to 20 minutes – the celery should be fairly soft.
- Allow to cool slightly then blend with a hand blender.
- Add in the yoghurt, and heat back up, stirring well.
A relatively simple, quick and tasty soup which was made quickly and used products that the garden happily provided. I don’t often get to use marjoram, but its flavour comes through very well – you could probably leave the dill out, though, as the other herbs overshadow it.

McLaren Refutes Acquisition Talks With Apple

British automotive manufacturer and Formula One team owner McLaren has denied reports that tech giant Apple is set to acquire it
The company said there were no discussions over a sale or investment from Apple, Telegraph reported on Thursday.
"We can confirm that McLaren is not in discussion with Apple in respect of any potential investment," a spokesperson was quoted as saying.
Earlier media reports said that the iPhone maker was considering to buy McLaren for 1 billion pounds. The acquisition of McLaren can accelerate Apple's automotive project. McLaren makes luxury super cars and has an advanced technology unit that develops cutting-edge electronics.
Experts have even said Apple may be interested in buying US electric car maker Tesla. The Cupertino-based company recently acquired audio group Beats Electronics for $3 billion. Apple has also invested $1 billion in the Chinese ride-hailing company Didi Chuxing.

The general consensus by economists and policy makers is that the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum (brexit) will have negative consequences:
Brexit is a needless complication, an attempt to fix something, that while flawed (especially about immigration), isn’t yet sufficiency broken to justify such drastic measures, especially at a time when Europe’s economy is already weak. The effects of Brexit are manifested in decreased business confidence, falling real estate prices, flight to safety (government bond yields fall and private debt yields rise), and increased volatility both in equities and currencies. Because the economic consequences of Brexit are so unpredictable, banks have become very skittish, and lending activity has slowed and cash reserves have surged. The total indirect consequences beyond the initial shock to the stock market and economy may total a trillion dollars over many years, until the entire thing is sorted out.
Brexit is what I would call ‘bad policy’, designed to fan populist appeal but bad for the economy. A government needs systems in place, or at least some what to dissuade, potentially disastrous populist policies.
One solution is to put the super-rich in power, who have the most to lose socioeconomically if things go wrong and thus in self-preservation will try to enact’ good policy’ that is stabilizing, not populist policy that is potential destabilizing. Less wealthy politicians have less to lose as a consequence of their actions and hence are more inclined to appeal to the whims of the masses for easy votes. For example, a 90% tax on the rich may win the support of Britain’s bottom 50%, but it may hurt the economy significantly by encouraging divestment and slowing business activity. As in the case of Trump, populism can work well if the desires of the people happen to be aligned with the best interests of the economy and state, an example being the large near-unanimous public support for the war on terror following 911, but no assurances can be made that the public will know what is best, and as Bryan Caplan has shown voters tend to be irrational and ill-informed of issues. Eliminating commonwealths, constitutions, parliaments, and other forms of democracy, replacing it with some type of autocracy or oligarchy, is another solution, in order to immediately veto bad ideas like Brexit. The nice thing about a constitutional republic, vs a direct democracy, is it makes sweeping referendums much more difficult to pass. Only congress can make drastic changes to the law and decisions, such as constitutional amendments and impeachments, not average voters.
How about stock options tied to performance, not just for private companies but for high-ranking government officials, giving policy makers a financial incentive to enact ‘good policy’. Generally, the S&P 500 is a good proxy for the heath of the US economy, although it is vulnerable to large gyrations due to speculation. But the obvious problem with this is it may encourage ‘short-termism’ – creating inflation to boost the stock index past the performance threshold at the expense of the longer-term health of the economy. To bypass this the threshold may be adjusted for abnormally high inflation. For example, if the S&P 500 is at 2000 and the 4-year performance threshold is set at 2200, if the CPI is 5% per-annum (3% higher than the long-term average), the threshold becomes 2320. Having richer politicians may also reduce corruption, for much the same reason cheating is so rare among professional athletes, who are well-paid, compared to college athletes who are not.

Mortgage application volume has fallen to its lowest level in 28 years as mortgage rates ticked up again in response to new signs that inflation remains stubbornly persistent.
Rising rates means fewer prospective buyers, which is a troubling sign, especially as the spring housing market is supposed to be heating up.
According to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s seasonally adjusted index, mortgage applications to purchase a home dropped 6% last week, compared with the previous week. Volume was 44% lower than the same week one year ago, and is now sitting at a 28-year low.
For the week that ended February 24, the average contract rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage increased to 6.71%, from 6.62% the week prior. This is the highest average rate since November of last year.
Mortgage demand from homebuyers would seem to indicate a very slow spring ahead.

The fundamental unit of contraction included in the core could be the cardiac myofibrils which can be customized excitatory and conductive muscle tissue fabric. Myofibrils comprise thin and thicker filaments myosin and actin. These filaments put part by push and element for the period of contraction like skeletal muscle groups. Intercalated cellular material are mobile phone membranes that isolated separate cardiac muscles cellular material from one the next. Cardiac lean muscle materials are made up of a large amount of microscopic cells connected in sequence and parallel collectively. At each intercalated disc the mobile phone membranes fuse with each other to produce gap junctions that enable accelerated diffusion of ions. So, originating from a functional standpoint ions move around in the intracellular substance down the cardiac lean muscle materials in order for procedure possibilities tour effortlessly in one cardiac muscle to the next, beyond the intercalated discs. This will make cardiac lean muscle a syncytium for many heart and soul body cells when the cellular material are very related that excitation of a single cell dramatically spreads all through each of the microscopic cells. The comfort and contraction of cardiac materials is known as a confusing physiological method that is characterized by swift depolarization and polarization due to immediate outflow and inflow of ions along the trans-membrane funnel.

In cardiac muscle tissue motions full potential is as a consequence of starting of two model of stations, efficiently salt routes and sluggish calcium mineral channels. Generally if the channels opened the two of them sodium and calcium ions movement included in the cardiac muscle fiber content creating a extented depolarization. The calcium mineral ions that enter in while doing this concept turn on the muscle contractile action. After a start of motion opportunity,the permeability of cardiac muscular membrane layer for potassium ions diminishes which keeps steps would-be from returning to relaxing stage. When impede calcium routes close up influx of sodium and calcium mineral ceases, potassium permeability grows which brings membrane possibility to sleeping grade and all this finishes the measures probable. The expression excitation contraction coupling means the process that can cause action possibility to induce contraction of myofibrils. In relaxed area, the end of actin filament increasing from two subsequent Z discs barely overlap one other.

Inside contracted level actin filaments have always been pulled inward amongst the myosin filaments so their ends overlap one another to utmost Z and scope discs are now drawn by actin filaments upto the stops of myosin filaments, therefore muscle contraction happens by sliding filament process. Calcium ions get connected to troponin to trigger go across connect formation essay writers kenyaВ and contraction by activating myosin-ATPase. The majority of the calcium supplement ions associated with contraction are resulting from exracellular base as cardiac muscular cell`s sarcoplasmic reticulum is improperly designed. Cardiac muscular cellular material are classified into contractile cellular material and automobile rhythmic tissues. Autorhythmic skin cells make it possible to initiate contraction whilst not innervations. Contractile tissue commence contraction when triggered and consequently are contained in SA (sinoatrial) node, AV (atrioventricular) node, Purkinje Pack and fibers of his.

In the month, of November last, the Motorola Droid Razr was launched in the market but soon users complained of the not so impressive battery life. In fact, one critic commented that it is safer to carry the charger wherever you carry the Droid Razr. Keeping this in mind Motorola has informed that is launching a newer model that is made for bigger battery life. The same Verizon will market it, and it is named as Droid Razr Maxx. It will be priced at $299.
The changes in the set
With a longer battery life, there will be an advent of a thicker handset. The Razr was 0.28 inches thick, but the Razr Maxx will be 0.35 inches thick. The gadget is thin, but it is not the thinnest- something that the Droid Razr can claim.
The unchanged features
The aspects that are unchanged in the Maxx is the 4.3 inch screen, a front facing camera for chatting ease and 8 megapixel rear camera. You can shoot a 1080 pixel video with ease in it. Apart from this, it is equipped with 32 gigabytes of storage-16 GB from the phone and another 16 GB from the micro SD card. Both of them will run on Android Gingerbread OS from Google.

In 18 short months Argus Brewery has made quite the name for itself. The father/son team has been at just about every local beer fest and last week started the 1st in a series of Private Reserve Events in the northwest burbs at The Ballydoyle Irish Pub. Ballydoyle Owner Phil Cullen has the proud distinction of being the only pub in the country to sell Argus’ McCaffrey’s Irish Creme Ale. The pub’s kitchen offered samples of ribeye on french bread w/ bleu cheese, scallops w/ lemon zest and other goodies to compliment the 3 Argus brews being offered. Pegasus IPA, California Steam & Summer Rye.
There are very few breweries that make the California Steam style beer, its a technique that uses a special strain of lager yeast, a method very popular around the time of the gold rush in cali around 1850. CBG associates in attendance were quite impressed with all 3, especially the Summer Rye but gave the nod to California Steam as best in show for the evening.
The Private Reserve series is a little different from your typical beer tasting event. Owner Bob Jensen is very engaging and invites personal feedback regarding his brews, reports are that moments after meeting him you feel like a longtime friend. It was a welcomed approach that was viewed by some in attendance as a private party..and a really fun gourmet focus group of sorts. Jarrett Payton: Former NFL Player and son of Chicago Bears Legend Walter Payton was in attendance as a guest speaker. Payton is a motivational tweeter, a craft beer fan and friend of Bob and Patrick Jensen. Jarrett’s sister and co host of Chicagos Best Britney Payton made a brief appearance as well. The Argus Brewing crew plans on having these events weekly in the future.

Do you think you have a fairly good working knowledge of internationally recognised celebratory days? Christmas, New year, Eid, Chinese New year, Diwali, Easter, International Women’s Day, World AIDS day and so forth? Well if you ever wanted to confirm your ignorance, step into the wonderful world of food blogging and learn about all the celebrations you had hitherto been unaware of. World Nutella Day. National Pie Day. International Bacon Day. National Ice-cream Day. World Bread Day. British Cheese Week. Chocolate Week. The list is seemingly endless.
This got me thinking about other weird and wonderful days and celebrations that I might up to now have been shamefully ignorant, such as:
- National Underwear Day
- National Orgasm Day
- International Kissing Day
- International Homeless Animals Day
- National Allotments Week (this week, by coincidence!)
- Bubblewrap Appreciation Day
- Global Belly Laugh Day
Something for everyone, really – and that’s just a small fraction of all the wacky and wonderful days out there!
But the one that really caught my eye was National Sneak A Zucchini Onto Your Neighbour’s Porch Day – which is today 8 August! You see, when we first got our allotment back in May, Nick received all sorts of advice. Plant this, plant that, remove the weeds like this, compost like that – but the one piece of advice that was pretty constant was “don’t plant too many zucchini/courgettes”. “Why?” asked Nick, “I mean, we love courgettes! We eat them all the time!”. “You’ll find out”, chuckled the allotment old-timers. Undeterred Nick planted ten. Yes, ten. And over a growing season, each can produce 40-50 courgettes. If you pick diligently every day, this could mean 50 petite, sweet little courgettes – but fail to visit the allotment and pick diligently and within days you will have baseball bat-sized monsters (my friend calls them zucchini cudgels). You can imagine which option has prevailed in this house… So lately I have been on a mission to find recipes that use up a lot of courgettes in one go and this is such a recipe. The original is by French writer Sophie Dudemaine but I found an English version of it here. The coulis is my own addition and a fine one it is too, with the smoky spiciness giving the mild-flavoured terrine a wonderful lift. The terrine can be served warm or cold and makes a fantastic picnic food. It’s also an easily customisable recipe – I threw in a handful of spinach as this is what I had in the fridge, but you could also add grated carrots, peas, leeks; anything that took your fancy, really.
A dish this elegant calls for a considered wine match, and after my trip to the Loire Valley in June, I have been spending more time seeking out examples of the excellent value white wines from the region. Although my trip focused on the Muscadet region around Nantes where the whites are made from Melon de Bourgogne grapes, white wine fans will also definitely find it worth exploring the wines of the Touraine region of the Loire Valley, located around the city of Tours. One of my favourite Touraine appelations is Vouvray, which produces velvety wooded Chenin Blancs, but those looking for crisp and fresh whites need to look no further than Touraine Sauvignon Blanc wines. To match my creamy terrine, I tried the 2012 Thierry Delaunay Touraine Sauvignon Blanc with its gooseberry nose and racy palate of green apples , elderflower and notes of green pepper (£8.99 from Majestic Wines). The fresh, tart notes of the wine were a great foil for the creaminess of the terrine without overpowering it
Now – what to do with the other 200 courgettes… If only my neighbour had a porch!
Here are some more great ways to use up your zucchini crop:
- Zucchini cake with a crunchy lemon glaze from David Labovitz
- Potato, courgette and feta cakes with mint from Greedy Gourmet
- Three-cheese zucchini frittata from Kalyn’s Kitchen
- Grilled zucchini pizza with bechamel and red onion from Coffee & Vanilla
- 1 kg courgettes, grated
- Generours handful of spinach leaves, washed and finely shredded
- 2 onions, chopped
- 200 g crumbled feta cheese
- 8 eggs
- 200 ml evaporated milk (I used half milk and half double cream)
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs of your choice (I used a mix of basil, thyme and mint)
- salt and pepper to taste
- FOR THE COULIS
- 4 red bell peppers
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chilli paste
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Preheat oven to 180°C (375°F).
- Sauteé the vegetables for about 15 minutes in a little olive oil in a large frying pan, stirring so that they cook evenly.
- In a big bowl, beat together the eggs and the evaporated milk, then stir in the cheese and herbs,as well as the cooked vegetables. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Grease two standard sized loaf tins and pour the mixture evenly into them. Make sure to leave half a cm or two of space for the terrine to puff up during cooking.
- Place in the centre of the oven on a baking tray and bake for about an hour, or until the terrine is turning golden at the edges and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- In the meantime, make the coulis. Halve and seed the bell peppers and place them skin side up under a hot grill until they start to char and blacken. Once they are fairly evenly charred, remove from the oven and place them in a ziplock bag and seal tightly. Set aside for about 5 minutes to cool. When they are cool enough to handle, peel them and slice into strips.
- Place the bell pepper strips, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and chipotle paste in a food processor and blitz until you have a smooth puree. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- When the terrine is cooked, allow to cool for 10-15 minutes on a cooling rack, then gently run a palette knife around the edge of each loaf tin and unmold onto a plate while still warm.
- Serve with the coulis and drusty bread for mopping up leftovers.

Melanoma in Practice: Nurse Conference
26 July 2018
It was a full house this week at Melanoma Institute Australia thanks to our ‘Melanoma in Practice: Nurse Conference’. Designed specifically for nurses, the presentations were designed to give nurses a better understanding of the patient experience from detection through to treatment of advanced disease and included updates in the latest areas of research that are changing the way we treat melanoma.
Presentations were given by melanoma specialists in dermatology, pathology, medical oncology, surgery, radiotherapy, physiotherapy, psychology and clinical trials, as well as melanoma survivors and CNCs who are directly involved in melanoma care
Highlights included a presentation from Associate Professor Robyn Saw who discussed the processes of surgical management of melanoma Stages 0-IV and how “understanding the anatomy is essential for diagnosing and treating melanoma”.
A key takeaway from the conference was a presentation by Associate Professor Matteo Carlino. Associate Professor Carlino delved into the system therapy for the treatment of advanced melanoma and notably pointed out how there has been a shift in nurses’ role in melanoma. “It used to be that advanced melanoma nurses worked primarily on palliative care. We're now in a time where nurses are working on survivorship care”, said Associate Professor Carlino, a statement that really resonated with the audience.
We’d like to thank those who attended and engaged with the conference. One attendee said that ‘all the sessions were so informative and the presenters had a real passion for their work’ and we hope that all attendees found it both enjoyable and beneficial.
The presentations from the Nurse Conference will be made available on our free melanoma education portal for healthcare practitioners in the next few weeks. If you’re a nurse, we encourage you to register your interest at www.melanomaeducation.org.au to be the first to know when they become available.
In our latest research update we showcase research in survival estimates, uncover biomarkers, and reveal practice-changing research in surgery and medical oncology.
Senior Clinical Trial Coordinators, like Sarah Lane, support melanoma patients throughout the clinical trial process.
Melanomas are often hard to differentiate from moles. But new technology is helping to improve accuracy of diagnosis.
We are excited to announce that SunSense will proudly be an official supporter of Melanoma Institute Australia. SunSense is an Australian, family owned business.
Five years ago Julie Randall was diagnosed with melanoma and was given months to live. The melanoma had spread throughout her body. The doctors said it was incurable and she’d be lucky if she survived the next nine months. Julie, a patient at Melanoma Institute Australia under Professor Georgina Long was placed on an experimental drug trial. To watch the entire program, visit 9now.com or click here.
Meet our latest Surgical Oncology Fellow, Eva Nagy, to find out more about life as a surgical oncologist, why she came to MIA and what she hopes to achieve.
Melanoma research at ASCO this year focussed on the more precise use of current treatments to ensure optimal treatment for each patient.
MIA recently demonstrated that reflectance confocal microscopy is a useful tool in the clinic to diagnose suspicious-looking lesions in the mouth.
New research is likely to change the way melanoma is managed in many patients by reducing the need for major surgery and its associated morbidity and cost.
Researchers from MIA will present their latest research findings to the world’s largest oncology conference in early June.
Australian researchers pioneer life-extending treatment for advanced melanoma patients with brain tumours
Australian researchers are the first to demonstrate that patients with advanced melanoma which has spread to the brain can have increased life expectancy and possibly even beat the disease.
Melanoma March 2017 - that's a wrap! Thank you to everyone that helped make it happen.
Thank you so much to all those who contributed in a variety of ways to Melanoma March 2017 in 17 different locations and more around the country! You have contributed to getting the Big Data for Melanoma national Research Project happening!
By looking at the ‘dark matter’ of the genome, new research has found that genetic changes in acral and mucosal melanoma are completely different to mutations found in skin melanoma.
‘Slip, slop, slap’ is synonymous with being Australian and playing it safe in the sun. These sun smart rules reduce our chances of getting melanoma of the skin. However, new research tells a different story for those affected by rarer forms of melanoma.
Using MIA's patient database, researchers have developed conditional survival estimates for Stage III melanoma patients to more accurately predict survival outcomes.
MIA is proud to be celebrating an important milestone – the 60th anniversary of melanoma research and Australian-led global efforts to find a cure.
Research achievements by MIA were celebrated at the annual Sydney Medical School recently.
In this Global Research Report we showcase advances in medical oncology, reveal unexpected pathology in acral and skin melanoma, and uncover biomarkers and new gene targets for melanoma.

The clutch fan went out on my 2nd gen Ram and I noticed an increase of MPGs. So I decided to swap out the mechanical fan for electric fans. I also had to change to the "correct" alternator…back in late March I was sold the wrong one. That one only put out 90 amps. This one puts 136 amps. Big difference!!! This one keeps up a lot better than the other one, but still falls a bit short when I have a lot of things turned on. Later on I will be upgrading to a Mechman alternator.

(Read: What First Lady Michelle Obama Likes to Eat)
“Jeremy Lin: Rising Star ” traces Lin’s years of hard work and practice—from his high school in Palo Alto, California, to his college hoop days at Harvard, to bouncing around the NBA, and finally his astounding performances with the New York Knicks.
“Jeremy Lin’s story is that feel-good sports story that is surprising and uplifting,” said, Debra Dorfman, VP and publisher, Scholastic.
James Buckley Jr. is the author of more than 60 sports books for kids, including The Ultimate Guide to Basketball, NBA On the Inside, Eyewitness Baseball, the NFL’s Top 100, among many others.

Sony Pictures Classics has acquired worldwide rights to Amy Berg’s docu about the West Memphis Three, “West of Memphis,” which was produced by Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, as well as first-time producers Damien Echols and Lorri Davis.
Pic, which debuted at Sundance, chronicles the new investigation surrounding the West Memphis Three, which ultimately broke the case open and led to the freedom of three innocent men: Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr.
Berg’s film examines the flawed police investigation into the 1993 murders of three young boys in West Memphis, Arkansas, and reveals details of Echols’ fight to save his life while sitting on death row for 18 years.
SPC negotiated the deal with Jackson and Walsh’s manager, Ken Kamins, who also serves as the film’s exec producer.
“In 2009, Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Lorri Davis approached me to make a film which documented the defense’s battle to overturn the guilty verdicts in the case of the West Memphis Three,” said Berg. “After spending more than two years on the ground filming in Arkansas, the blatant injustice of the case was very apparent; my hope is that ‘West of Memphis’ will lead to full exoneration for Damien, Jason and Jessie. In addition, I hope the film will serve as a platform for a broader discussion about the failures of our criminal justice system nationwide. I’m very excited for this powerful story to be making its way to theaters and know that having Sony Pictures Classics as our partner is the surest way to catapult our film to the widest possible audience.”
“We are very proud to be partnering with Sony Pictures Classics on the release of ‘West of Memphis,'” added Walsh and Jackson. “We have been working with Lorri Davis, Damien Echols and his defense team for the past seven years, and during that time we came to understand that this was not just a story of a terrible injustice; it’s also a story about hope; about how two people found each other, saved each other, and loved each other through the hardest of times. This is Damien and Lorri’s film, and we are very excited to share it with the world.”
“We are honored that Sony Pictures Classics will be working with us to bring ‘West of Memphis’ to the world,” said Davis and Echols. “We are excited and quite frankly overwhelmed at the chance to tell our own story. Working with Fran, Peter and Amy has been the most powerful and fulfilling of experiences for us. We see this film as a source of inspiration, and it carries our heart and soul with it.”
“With ‘Deliver Us From Evil,’ Amy Berg became a major documentary filmmaker. Seeing ‘West of Memphis’ at Sundance, we felt Amy had outdone herself with this extraordinary anatomy and investigation of injustice,” said a statement from Sony Pictures Classics. “We look forward to collaborating with her and producers Fran Walsh, Peter Jackson, Damien Echols and Lorri Davis in bringing this exciting and important drama to audiences everywhere.”


– World news selected by Gazette editors for Phuket’s international community
PHUKET: Malaysia Airlines said yesterday it has temporarily banned checked-in baggage on some flights to Europe because of “unreasonably strong head winds” on the longer routes it is having to take for safety reasons.
The airline did not elaborate on the safety reasons behind its new flight paths to Europe, but one of its airliners was shot down over rebel-held territory in eastern Ukraine in 2014 with the loss of all 298 people on board.
“The longer flight path consumes more jet fuel and for safety reasons Malaysia Airlines has had to impose temporary limitations on the checked in baggage allowance,” it said, referring to the routes to Europe it was flying for safety reasons.
“Passengers who wish to check in their luggage will be able to do so, however their baggage will only arrive later,” it said.
The airline said the baggage limitations applied to flights to Amsterdam and Paris operated by its Boeing 777 aircraft.
The airline suffered two disasters in 2014.
In March that year, its flight MH370 carrying 239 passengers and crew disappeared while on a flight to China and is believed to have gone down in the Indian Ocean.
Last year, it appointed a new Chief Executive Christoph Mueller, who turned around Aer Lingus during his tenure as chief executive of the Irish carrier.

Vauxhall is in talks with trade unions to stave off redundancies, with pay cuts and a four-day working week among the options on the table.
The car manufacturer, which employs 5,000 workers in the UK, has already introduced ‘down days’ where employees leave work early but still get paid, allowing the firm to ‘bank’ workers’ hours for when production demand increases.
However it faces having to lay off employees at its plants in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire and Luton if it cannot cut costs.
Business has dropped dramatically in the economic downturn both in the UK and the USA.
Vauxhall’s American owner, General Motors, has less than four months to draw up plans to dump billions of dollars of debt and to cut salary and benefits following an emergency $17.4billion loan from the US government to prevent them running out of cash.
Denis Chick, director of communications at General Motors UK, said: “Talks are ongoing between unions and Vauxhall management in order to cut costs in 2009 and we are discussing around 20 options. [These include] changing shift patterns, cutting pay, getting rid of bonus payments and staff working a four-day week.
“We are desperately trying to avoid redundancies. We have spent a fortune training our workforce and we are going to need them when things pick up in the future.”
