Nicholas Roerich, Mystic, Artist, Explorer
If there was one advantage of communism it is that it drove out from the lands where it became dominant some of their best minds and they enrich the non-communist world. The many outstanding Tibetan monks who are now promoting Buddhism in the west are doing so because they fled from Mao’s oppression. One of but many great minds that fled Lenin’s tyranny was the great painter and mystic Nicholas Roerich. Although world famous in the 1920s and 30s he then faded into obscurity and was pretty much forgotten until 2013 when one of his paintings sold in auction for £7,881,250, the highest price ever paid for a painting by as a Russian artist. Who was this once forgotten man? Nicholas Roerich was born in St. Petersburg in 1874 matriculated simultaneously at St. Petersburg University and the Imperial Academy of Arts. He worked for the Imperial Academy for the Encouragement of the arts becoming its director between 1906 and 1917. Early on he became interested in Theosophy, Buddhism and the teachings of the Hindu saint Ramakrishna and in his paintings by Rabindranath Tagore and other artists of the so-called Bengal Revival. Like many intellectuals Roerich he enthusiastically welcomed the Russian Revolution but was dismayed when it was hijacked by Lenin and his Bolsheviks in October. Realizing what would be in store for the country under Lenin Roerich fled to Finland and later to the UK. While in London he was befriended by H. G. Wells and particularly by the pioneering Buddhist Christmas Humphreys who gave him a deeper understanding of the Dhamma than he had before. In 1920 the Art Institute of Chicago held an exhibition of Roerich’s paintings and invited him to the US where he toured and lectured widely. With his long white beard, gentle smile and strange mystical ideas he was the talk of the town. The exhibition later toured the country and eventually a museum of his paintings was established which still exists today, the Nicholas Roerich Museum at 319 West 107th Street, New York.
Between 1925 and 1929 Roerich led an expedition through remote and little-known places in Central Asia including Kashmir, Ladakh, Tibet and the Hindukush and Altai Mountains. Although filled with hardship, adventure and considerable danger the journey was to have a profound influence in his thinking and his art. While eastern religious thought had been one of several of his interests it now became a major one and this reflected itself in his paintings. It was not Theravada but Tibetan Buddhism that fascinated him most and Tibetan monasteries, stupas, pilgrims crossing mountain passes and hermits meditating in Himalayan caves became dominant themes in his work. Roerich painted his mountains in deep blues and aquamarine capturing perfectly the snows of the Himalayan peaks and giving them a distinct and almost mystical quality. Often a tiny monastery or a lone lama in the landscape accurately reflects the vastness of these mountains. His painting of Milarepa, the famous 11th century Tibetan hermit poet done in 1925 is a good example of this. By contrast, in his most popular painting, The Buddha in Winter, golden brown and orange predominate as if to dispel any feeling of snowy coldness and to suggest the luminosity that the Buddha imparted to the world.
Given Roerich’s attraction to things Tibetan and his love of mountains he decided to move to India, eventually building a home for himself in Naggar, a small village on the slopes above the beautiful Himalayan Kulu Valley. There is continued his painting and writing and became familiar famous Indian personalities; Nehru and his daughter Indira, Rabindranath Tagore, and others.
In 1933, the Roosevelt administration sent Roerich and his Harvard-educated son George, who later became a noted scholar of Tibet, on a horticultural expedition to northern Central Asia on behalf of the Department of Agriculture. Roerich was selected to lead the expedition by H. A. Wallace, the Secretary for Agriculture who had become a follower of Roerich’s mystical teachings, with the expressed purpose of finding drought resistant grasses. This gave Roerich the opportunity to explore the Buddhist regions of Manchuria, Mongolia and the Gobi Desert. Unfortunately, he spent more time trying to find Shambhala, the sacred city of Tibetan mythology and the whole project ended up being an embracement for Wallace and harmed his later political career. Like many mystics, Roerich could be naive and unrealistic, even foolish.
Roerich died in 1947, perhaps fortuitously, because it saved him seeing his beloved Tibet invaded by the Chinese communists and its culture destroyed just two years later. He left behind a legacy in literature also in astronomy – a minor planet is named after him – but mainly in art – his paintings hang in museums from Latvia to Trivandrum to New York. His mystical blending of Buddhism, Theosophy and Orthodox Christian spirituality, never attracted more than a few followers and are largely forgotten today.

Developed in Adaptive Vision software, Ardent Automation's application allows scanning of shapes for dimensional measurement using a Gocator ring mounted system, which generates a 360-degree point cloud and may include intensity image acquisition as well for defect detection using traditional machine vision tools. The system uses 4x LMI Gocator sensors with encoder feedback for triggering alongside Aurora Vision Studio for data processing, as it can handle the Raw Mode 3D point cloud from the Gocator as well as the intensity image collected with the scans. This combination of data allows for coordination of measurements between the two data types.
As shown by numerous studies, security checks are one of the most stressful points of airport travel. Consequently, after successfully passing the control, people tend to forget their belongings in security trays. When they realize that they lost something it is simply too late and there is nothing else to do except contacting the Lost & found office. Engineers from the Institute of Production Engineering and Photonic Technologies at Vienna University of Technology showcased how Deep Learning tools can make our lives easier.
Automotive industry is one of the main recipents of moderm machine vision solutions. Engineers at MV Center Systemy Wizyjne Sp. z o.o. used the 3D technology and Adaptive Vision software to create a complex application performing control of many small and shiny elements in the housing of a control element used in the automotive industry. The described project included: selecting the equipment, designing the control system, creating inspection software and integrating the complete solutin with the existing machine.
Even complex 3D geometry inspections might be performed automatically resulting in reduced number of complaints and increasing the certainty of inspections by eliminating the mechanical gauges often used in the geometry inspection process.
The engineers at MV Center Systemy Wizyjne Sp. z o.o. have designed and delivered an inspection stand for automatic control of the EGR pipe geometry using Aurora Vision Studio 3D capabilities.
Reliable vision system for inspecing dimensions of the manufactured part is a crucial element of every modern manufacturing process. Engineers from I2 VISION Industrial Intelligence have used Aurora Vision Studio to prepare an inspection of roundness and dimensions of the inner diameter of tempered steel rings. Depending on the different user access levels, the application also generates and stores datasets for new rings and allows for dataset selection and loading.
The engineers at AmiSter sp. z o.o. sp.k. have developed a robotic control station performing quality control of heat pumps copper pipe system. Based on Adaptive Vision software and a multi-camera vision system, this control station performs a complex inspection, including copper pipes location as well as inspection of gas tightness at the points of soldered connections.
PCB boards can be found in virtually every electronic device on the market. With the help of Adaptive Vision software, engineers from Otes Elektronik designed a laser marking machine for PCB assembly lines which eliminates the need to use paper labels. With the limited size of the target area on some PCBs the laser marking process requires very high precision so that the marking is positioned exactly at the required place.
Using Aurora Vision Studio 5.0 powerful 2D, 3D, communication & HMI design capabilities, the engineers at MV Center Systemy Wizyjne Sp. z o.o. have designed and delivered a complex inspection system performing assembly check of a plastic element with a gasket at two assembly stands within one workstation. The scope of the project included selection of the equipment, development of vision application as well as integration of the complete vision system with the production line.
Automated guided vehicles (AGV), as well as manufacturing execution systems (MES), are becoming an integral part of smart factories as they address today's requirements of manufacturers and their suppliers of logistic equipment. Engineers from the Institute of Production Engineering and Photonic Technologies (IFT) showcased how Aurora Vision Studio helps the fourth industrial revolution become a reality.

A Boeing 737-8 MAX was pressured to make an unscheduled landing and have just one motor shut down immediately after it ran into difficulties.
The Air Canada company from Arizona to Montreal was diverted shortly just after consider-off on 22 December.
In a assertion, the airline claimed the only persons on board have been three crew users who gained an “motor indication” and “resolved to shut down a person motor”.
“Present day aircraft are developed to run with 1 motor and our crews train for these types of operations,” it additional.
In accordance to Belgian aviation information website Aviation.24.be, the pilots gained a still left motor hydraulic small stress indication just soon after getting off from a storage facility.
They and airline engineering controllers reportedly made a decision the aircraft must go on to Montreal, but the crew then obtained an indication of a gasoline imbalance from the remaining wing, forcing them to shut the still left engine down.
It then created a safe landing at close by Tucson, Arizona.
Boeing and airlines that use its planes are braced for heightened scrutiny as the MAX returns from a 20-thirty day period grounding, but security authorities say this sort of these sorts of glitches are popular and usually go unnoticed.
The MAX endured two deadly crashes – in Indonesia in late 2018 and Ethiopia in early 2019 – that killed 346 people, and both equally were blamed on flawed cockpit software package relatively than motor difficulties.
In each cases, the software package – known as MCAS – pushed the plane’s nose down repeatedly, sending it into dives.
The Ethiopian Airways flight in March very last year crashed just times just after having off from Addis Ababa – killing all 157 persons on board.
5 months before, in October 2018, 189 individuals died when a 737 MAX utilised by Lion Air crashed into the Java Sea – only 13 minutes after departing the Indonesian capital of Jakarta.
The crashes and subsequent grounding of the MAX triggered Boeing’s worst-ever company crisis.
Boeing has worked to make the software package guiding the malfunctioning anti-stall unit considerably less highly effective, and has also created changes to flight-command computers and pilot-teaching necessities.
In January 2021, the EU Aviation Security Agency is established to lift its ban on the passenger jetliner – but how extensive it normally takes for flights to resume relies upon on pilot coaching and airways upgrading program and carrying out other steps.
The United kingdom will no for a longer period be part of the agency from 2021 thanks to Brexit.
The US Federal Aviation Administration also determined to elevate its ban on the 737 MAX in November, provided software program, program and coaching upgrades by Boeing and airways are carried out.
The organization had been desperate to have the planes up and jogging again for the generally busy summer months period, nevertheless need for air vacation has taken a pounding from the coronavirus pandemic.

Stalled march of the makers
If the British economy was driven by manufacturing we could well be in seriously dire economic straits, figures released today show.
So perhaps we should be profoundly grateful that the coalition government elected in 2010 failed so miserably in its ambition to rebalance the UK towards the makers and away from services (UK manufacturing is still more than 5% smaller than it was before the 2008 crash, whereas the service sector is about 10% bigger).
The point is that manufacturing seems to be struggling again: its output fell 0.5% in July compared with a year ago - and was 0.8% lower compared with the previous month.
As for exports of goods, they fell by £2.3bn to £22.8bn in July - to their lowest since September 2010.
And it was a widening of our deficit with the rest of the world in trade of physical stuff that was wholly responsible for an enlargement of the overall deficit in goods and services to £3.4bn.
Of course it would be foolish to read too much into a single month's figures, but more recent survey data suggests that these statistics are neither anomalous nor a temporary blip.
What is going on? Why, at a time when the British economy is one of the few economic bright spots in the rich developed world, are our manufacturers staring at possible recession?
Well the pound has been strengthening, making our exports less competitive, and the world economy has been slowing down, cutting demand for what we make.
This slowdown has been caused in large measure (as you will surely know by now, since I've been banging on about it) by a deceleration of Chinese growth that has infected the emerging market half of the global economy particularly badly.
All the signs are that this global economy will weaken further.
So thank goodness that we have a world-class service sector, which is around 80% of our economy and seems to be less sensitive to global economic conditions.
And hooray for mild deflation that is increasing British households' disposable income and encouraging them to spend a bit more.
But the economy cannot grow at the current rate of 2.5% a year forever based purely on domestic demand - because we are buying more from the rest of the world than we sell to the rest of the world, and are financing our growth by borrowing from the rest of the world at an unsustainably great rate of 5% of GDP or national income.
Or to put it another way, we run the risk that at some point our overseas creditors won't wish to lend quite so much to us to finance our lifestyles - and at that point, they would want their money back and would dump sterling.
At which ill-starred juncture, the price of imports would shoot up and inflation would rise, forcing the Bank of England to raise interest rates more than would be comfortable in our heavily indebted economy.
Which is another way of saying, as if you hadn't guessed, that we are not immune to global economic conditions, even if right now we - and the US - seem to be jogging along quite nicely, as Japan and the eurozone are struggling to walk.
But let's not end on a sour or dismal note.
Some may despair that the rebirth of British manufacturing hasn't been all that might be desired, but the UK's 5% manufacturing shrinkage since the peak is as nothing compared with the 23%, 16% and 14% contractions suffered by Italy, France and Japan respectively.

Matthew Edwards and Stuart McDonald look back on the role played by the COVID-19 Actuaries Response Group during the past year
The COVID-19 Actuaries Response Group (ARG) formed in early March 2020, just as European countries began to enter lockdown. We came together due to a shared concern about the spread of the virus, our sense that there was complacency about the impact it could have, and the fact that neither the profession’s structure of working parties nor its existing committees offered an appropriately quick and flexible solution.
The ‘need for speed’ had two consequences. First, we formed the group by reaching out to people we already knew would have the right skills, including those who could bring medical and epidemiological insight as well as those who could make purely actuarial contributions. We could not wait to advertise for a wider range of members, although several more people joined the group during the year, and we also published bulletins by ‘guest authors’ (of whom former IFoA president Chris Daykin was the most prolific).
Secondly, our ‘R’ has stood for ‘response’, not ‘research’. We have tried to bring things out as quickly as the issues have arisen, working out the ‘shape’ of bulletins and who would write them on weekly Zoom calls or via WhatsApp. Speed may risk inaccuracy, but in times of crisis a quick ‘best endeavours’ response is more useful than a long pause. Our internal peer review process has (we think) ensured high-quality outputs and, looking back, we can claim not to have made any obvious howlers despite this somewhat risky ‘sticking our necks out’ approach.
Our bulletins were sent out as LinkedIn post ‘attachments’ at first. We soon set up our own website (with thanks to Nicola Oliver, who many will know has also been the backbone of our Friday Reports). This let us post direct links on Twitter, improving engagement outside our network.
Since then, the group has published well over 100 short bulletins via its website (bit.ly/3a4vkst), LinkedIn (bit.ly/2QltQ5K) and Twitter (bit.ly/3a74ik9) to help share knowledge and insights on behalf of the actuarial profession. Shortly before our first ‘anniversary’ (in early March) we were also honoured to be given InsuranceERM’s 2021 award for contributions to the industry. There are other indications that we’ve made an impact, too: our work has been quoted and referenced at SAGE and at the highest levels of government; our content has been viewed more than eight million times on social media and been widely shared; and numerous articles and quotes have appeared in the national and international media.
Early bulletins on pandemic models and mortality
Is the Imperial College Pandemic Modelling Work ‘Fit for Purpose’?
The first issue we tackled was Imperial College London’s modelling, generally seen as the trigger for the government’s pivot to a lockdown strategy. Although the modelling was criticised by many, with parameters that could not be known with certainty, results were broadly in line with estimations we had done in February. These showed that a plausible outcome of an unchecked pandemic could be around 500,000 UK deaths. It was this frightening thought that had originally brought our group together.
“Our ‘R’ has stood for ‘response’, not ‘research’. We have tried to bring things out as quickly as the issues have arisen”
COVID-19 in numbers: 10 times worse than seasonal influenza?
Here we sought to estimate the infection fatality rate (IFR), noting the major difficulties that were involved. At the time, the number of COVID-19 deaths was unclear, and the number of infected people even more so. We expressed results as a multiple of normal seasonal influenza IFR (concluding that COVID-19 was five to 10 times worse), partly reflecting that similar reporting problems also affect influenza numbers.
Reinforming the misinformed
Are COVID-19 Victims Already ‘on Death Row’?
Early on, we noted a worrying tendency to ‘write off ’ the victims of COVID-19 as people who were old and (often) obese or diabetic, and therefore presumed to already be ‘on death row’.
We challenged that somewhat callous narrative using a combination of mortality underwriting models and insights from the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre. Through this work, we showed how people with managed conditions such as diabetes would generally have several years of life expectancy at high ages, even in the presence of adverse risk factors (such as obesity or smoking).
Our concern clearly struck a chord – the bulletin formed the basis for an interview with the Wall Street Journal (bit.ly/3uOcCx9) and was later the subject of our first appearance on BBC Radio 4’s More or Less.
Risk Factors for COVID-19
As more data emerged, we were able to bring actuarial insight to bear and challenge early fallacies. For instance, given the advanced age of most COVID-19 victims, conditions that are highly correlated with age, such as high blood pressure, had been thought to be risk factors in their own right. As multifactor analyses of COVID-19 mortality emerged, we clarified the underlying dynamics of ‘confounding’ in this bulletin and summarised the early research.
Care homes: Forgotten by us, not by COVID
We tackled the care home situation in this bulletin. Perhaps the biggest tragedy – because, with hindsight, it was avoidable – was the mass deaths in care homes. In March 2020, the country’s collective focus was on hospitals. Between March and June, one in seven care home residents died. The main problems were lack of sufficient protective personal equipment and the early release of patients from hospitals.
Good and bad news last summer
Are we getting better at treating COVID-19?
In July we noted that mortality of those entering hospital with COVID-19 had halved in the three months since the peak of the first wave. This bulletin explored the possible reasons, notably improvements in treatment. Those improvements were vital in limiting deaths during the second wave.
The second wave
We use Twitter to provide regular updates of hospital admissions and deaths, and our estimate of R for England. The platform has also been useful for wider dissemination of our bulletins. Our activity on Twitter started to attract more attention in September when we accurately ‘called’ the start of the second wave.
The approach underlying our regular updates, with particular reference to incurred but not reported deaths, was set out in bulletin 63, and our conclusions were discussed in a further appearance on BBC Radio 4’s More or Less (bbc.in/3mDSsmq).
As time passed, we started seeing news about ‘long COVID’ – a condition in which symptoms of COVID-19 persist for longer than 12 weeks. These range from the expected respiratory symptoms to cardiovascular complications, chronic fatigue, muscle and joint pain, and mental health conditions. This was not unexpected to us: in an earlier bulletin on mortality we noted the likelihood of longer-term complications for survivors, in line with what had been seen in the 2003 SARS pandemic.
“Our work has been quoted and referenced at SAGE and at the highest levels of government”
Vaccines – the miracle word of 2021
As 2020 progressed, we gradually became accustomed to our work being referenced by politicians and the media. Nonetheless, it was a surprise to hear one of our statistics quoted by Boris Johnson!
In December, we assessed the logic of the newly announced vaccine priority order by considering how many of the deaths to date had been people from each priority group. We found that the nine priority groups comprised 99% of all COVID-19 deaths, and that 88% of the deaths belonged to the first four groups. The 88% statistic was widely cited, including by the chief medical officer Chris Whitty, Secretary of State for Health Matt Hancock, and the prime minister.
How Soon to See the Vaccine’s Benefits?
With great public interest in how quickly the vaccine roll-out might start to affect hospital admissions and deaths, our second bulletin of 2021 attracted considerable media attention. John Roberts extended our earlier vaccine priorities analysis to model the varying degrees by which the roll-out plan would reduce numbers of hospital and ICU admissions, and deaths. The Guardian and The Spectator were notable in reproducing the analysis in detail.
Lessons for the future
Our working model seems to have been a model that worked. However, it is a child of its time, and we hope such times will be rare – whether they are pandemics, financial crashes or other disasters where we think actuaries can contribute.
Others are thinking of how the structure of the group could be repurposed for other situations. One example would be the Actuaries for Transformational Change group. This
is a similarly informal group of actuaries who seek to amplify the voice of the profession. They develop systems-based policy thought-leadership articles that are designed to stimulate debate and new perspectives, rather than present finalised research.
Our final thought is this: the actuarial profession is the actuaries who make it, not the set of governance structures. Actuaries who want to make a difference can always find ways to do so, and in our age of increasing digitalisation and remote working, that is considerably easier than before.

It is time to take a look at 2017 and comb through the numerous archaeological discoveries that have were made this year, and pick out 10 of the most fascinating, worth remembering.
Note there isn’t a particular order.
Tower of skulls
A group of archaeologists has found more than 650 skulls amalgamated with lime near the ‘Templo Mayor’ of the Aztec capital Tenochitlan, in Mexico. Archaeologists believe they were part of the Huey Tzompantli, a massive tower of skulls that horrified the Spanish conquerors when they captured the city in 1521.
Cavity in the Great Pyramid
Scientists who used cosmic ray-based scanning technology detected a large mysterious “cavity” inside the Great Pyramid of Giza.
The mysterious space, 20 meters long, is located just above the Grand Gallery, and it is the first large structure discovered since the 19th century inside the pyramid, which is believed to date back around 4,500 years.
The Dead Sea Scrolls—the 12th cave
Researchers announced in 2017 the discovery of a series of jars, wrappings, and ties related to the Dead Sea Scrolls (the manuscripts that include the oldest known copies of biblical texts) in a cave, the twelfth of the Qumran caves near Qumran, Israel.
“This exciting excavation is the closest we’ve come to discovering new Dead Sea scrolls in 60 years,” said Hebrew University archaeologist Oren Gutfeld, director of the excavation.
Two sunken cities
Tunisia and Italy. Archaeologists discovered the existence of two submerged ancient Roman cities: Neapolis, near the city of Nabeul, and Baia, on the Italian coast. They disappeared in the 4th century, as a result of seismic and volcanic activity in the Mediterranean.
Stone gates in Saudi Arabia
Researchers came across more than 400 strange structures which date back thousands of years in Saudi Arabia.
It is believed that the ancient stone structures—dubbed as Gates by experts—could go be around 7,000 years old. Their purpose remains a mystery. Some of these “gates” are located next to a volcanic dome that at one time spewed out basaltic lava.
The Antikythera wreck
The Antikythera shipwreck yielded more fascinating discovers as researchers discovered a vast array of relics and an arm of a bronze statue. This is quite a find as experts say that bronze statues are among the rarest artifacts from ancient times. What makes this discovery even more fascinating is the fact that the arm fragment does not match any statue bodies discovered to date, which brings us to the question: Where’s the rest of the statue?
The Oldest Pottery fragments in America
2017 has yielded what many experts consider as the oldest pottery fragments ever discovered in the American Continent.
A team of Russian and Ecuadorian experts recovered artifacts that are believed to date back more than 6,000 years and belonged to the little-studied culture of San Pedro.
A 4,000-year-old clay tablet reveals location of Ancient Cities
Researchers have analyzed a 4,000-year-old clay tablet created by ancient merchants from the Assyrian Empire which details the approximate location of 11 long lost ancient cities.
Written in the ancient Cuneiform script—developed by the ancient Sumerians—the clay tablets detail a set of business transactions, accounts, seals, contracts and even marriage certificates.
Archaeologists have recovered cremated bones hidden away in a 1,000-year old chest in China that according to reports, may belong to Siddhartha Gautama, better known as Buddha, the founder of Buddhism.
Experts found a 9.7 million-year-old fossilized denture that belonged to a species that in theory appeared in Africa several millions of years later has taken experts by surprise.
The revolutionary finding may put Europe as the cradle of humanity.
The discovery was made by experts from Germany who after making the discovery said: “We do not want to dramatize it too much, but I would hypothesize that we will have to start rewriting the history of humanity after today.”

These states, including Germany, pinpoint the problem of very long-term storage of radioactive waste. France, in favor of nuclear power, supports this classification.

They say no to a nuclear bonus. Germany, Austria, Denmark, Luxembourg and Portugal estimated, Thursday November 11, at the COP26 in Glasgow (Scotland), that nuclear energy was “incompatible” with the criteria of the list of investments considered as “sustainable” currently being developed by the European Union. For them, this energy can be harmful to the environment and should therefore be removed from the list.
The European Commission must propose, before the end of the year, a list of energies considered as virtuous for the climate, known as “green taxonomy”. This classification will open access to green finance, giving a crucial competitive advantage to recognized sectors.
In a joint declaration, the environment ministers of the five countries fear that the inclusion of nuclear power in this “green taxonomy” will durably affect the “integrity, credibility and therefore usefulness” of this list. “We urge the European Commission not to jeopardize the courageous path it has taken to make the European Union the premier market for sustainable finance,” they write.
Ten EU states, led by France, had published, in mid-October, an opinion piece supporting nuclear power. Other countries such as Germany, Austria and Luxembourg say they are opposed, pinning the problem of the very long-term storage of radioactive waste. Berlin must have completed its nuclear phase-out in 2022, decided in 2011 after the Fukushima disaster in Japan. The other countries in the call released on Thursday have no nuclear power production.

When Canadian troops liberated western Holland from Nazi rule in May 1945, a 21-year-old Dutch artist named Mart Kempers was among the cheering throngs who greeted them.
Before the year was out, Mr. Kempers would create a series of visually striking images that captured the moment of liberation for a children’s book, hi ha canada, published in 1945 by Rotterdam publishing house Luctor.
Because of paper shortages due to the war, hi ha canada probably had a print run of only a few hundred copies, making it a rare find. The ever intrepid Library and Archives Canada recently acquired a copy after a long and bloody hunt, and now everyone can go and have a read:
Members of the public can look at the book in a special reading room at Library and Archives Canada if they abide by the rules, which include wearing special gloves to protect its yellowing pages from natural oils on our fingers.
Library and Archives Canada will feature hi ha canada on its website Wednesday as part of a new program to better publicize new acquisitions and treasures in its immense collection of books, maps, newspapers, portraits and music.

Mario Luna Romero and Victoria Anahí Ochoa Domínguez have suffered a series of attacks over the years, including his politically-motivated imprisonment, assault against family members and, most recently, an arson attack on Anahí Ochoa’s vehicle at their home on 27 June. For the first time, the government of Sonora state and the Guaymas municipal government have implemented some measures to protect Mario Luna and his colleagues in this context, who are all traditional Indigenous Yaquí authorities in the town of Vicam in Sonora state. For security reasons, it is not possible to disclose which protection measures have been taken and which ones remain outstanding.
Amnesty International will continue to work with Mario Luna, Anahí Ochoa and other Indigenous Yaquí leaders in order to ensure all the protection measures that have been committed to are implemented and the attack investigated. Any follow up actions will be shared on Amnesty International’s online platform on attacks against human rights defenders working on issues of territory, land and the environment in the Americas here: https://speakout4defenders.com/single/584601cade7ed16d3aba1878.

Is Your Face Cleansing Brush Doing More Harm Than Good?
A few of us at The Huffington Post rely heavily on face cleansing brushes to remove a day’s worth of makeup and environmental debris. They’re lifesavers when you feel too tired to wash your face before bed.
But there’s been a couple of instances when we’ve noticed that our freshly-buffed faces started to break out or turn really red. Curious ...
... as to whether the face cleansing brush was doing more harm than good, we asked two dermatologists to explain what exactly was going on with our skin.
“Too much of anything is never a good thing,” according to skincare line creator Dr. Dennis Gross. “Overuse [of face cleansing brushes] can lead to broken capillaries, excessive dryness, irritation, redness, and sensitivity. If these warning signs occur, it is important to stop or alter your usage immediately.”
New York City-based dermatologist Ariel Ostad echoes this warning, saying, “Facial cleansing brushes do work, but you must be careful. Any exfoliation treatments performed at home should always be prescribed by your doctor or practitioner to avoid side effects or reactions.”

any order from All-for-skin-beauty.com
But are these brushes so bad that we need to shelve them indefinitely? What exactly can we do differently?
Because breakouts can occur as a result of the tool not being maintained properly, Dr. Gross recommends cleansing the brush with soap and water or alcohol to avoid acne-causing build-up. Another way to kill bacteria? After cleaning off the brush, Dr. Ostad says to place it into the microwave for a few seconds.
Three other face cleansing brush sins we — and you — might be committing: Using it too frequently (nighttime cleansing is ideal to rid the skin of debris and sebum from the day), sharing it with your family and friends, or using it in combination with a manual or chemical exfoliant.
In order to treat problem skin, Dr. Gross suggests using calming products that contain green-tea extract. “It soothes the skin and studies show it can help prevent skin cancer. Bisabolol is another effective anti-inflammatory ingredient derived from chamomile, which will alleviate redness and reduce inflammation. Licorice root extract and cucumber extract also work.”

Everyone's got a past. But perhaps more than anybody else in the presidential race, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) is running on his. His record in his home state is the reason he rose to national prominence and promises to be front and center in his 2016 campaign.
"In the Republican field, there are some who are good fighters, but they haven't won those battles," Walker said in an announcement video Monday. "There are others who have won elections but haven't consistently taken on the big fights. We showed you can do both."
But there's a flipside to putting a magnifying glass on his record a governor. Walker, who officially entered the race Monday, is also facing contentious budget battles and criticism back home from both sides. That criticism is sure to be elevated during the Republican primary.
Here are six things from Walker's political career that are likely to help him -- and hurt him -- as he campaigns for president.
What could help Walker
1. He fought labor unions and won
Just one year after winning his first statewide election, Walker's epic 2011 battle with labor unions put the governor on the national map. He pushed a bill to severely limit most of public-sector unions' bargaining power, arguing taxpayers foot the bill for public employee entitlements that the state could no longer afford.
Walker endured massive protests and even threats to his family. He would sneak out of the state house in tunnels and use decoy buses to distract angry protesters. But Republican lawmakers pushed the bill through the legislature, and Walker signed it into law a little more than a month after he proposed it.
And the results are clear: Walker has made himself Public Enemy No. 1 for labor unions -- which is a good thing in a GOP primary. Here's a look at declining public-sector (read: government) union membership in Wisconsin.
2. He's a proven winner in a Democratic state
Walker's next challenge: Surviving a rare recall election organized by incensed Democrats and labor union supporters, who collected more than 900,000 signatures to initiate the third gubernatorial recall election in U.S. history.
Walker not only survived, but he defeated his Democratic opponent by an even larger margin this time around than their first meeting in 2010. Walker went on to win his 2014 reelection, too. In a state that has voted to send a Democrat to the White House every year since 1984, Walker can argue that he has proven his crossover appeal three times in four years.
3. He's also a conservative's conservative, says his budget
Walker announced his presidency only after wrapping up a lengthier-than-expected budget battle with the state legislature last week. Now that he's signed it into law, Walker can campaign on what Washington Post's Jenna Johnson accurately describes as "red-meat legislation," such as...
"...right-to-work legislation, expansion of school-voucher use, repeal of a 48-hour waiting period for those looking to purchase guns, mandatory drug testing for food-stamp recipients and a ban on all abortions after 20 weeks."
What could hurt Walker
1. Republicans question his spending priorities
The budget battle wasn't all good news for Walker, who is facing criticism from Republicans back home for wanting to spend $250 million of taxpayer money for a new professional basketball arena for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Conservatives also questioned his proposal to borrow $1.3 billion to pay for transportation projects. "At some point, your credit card is maxed out, and you can’t do any more,” state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R) said in a TV interview in early June, according to Johnson's reporting.
2. He's suffering in the polls
Walker is facing some of his lowest approval ratings since taking office five years ago. According to an April poll, just 41 percent of voters approve of his job, and 53 percent think Wisconsin's on the wrong track. Voters polled cited concerns Wisconsin isn't investing in schools and creating enough jobs.
Indeed, as our own Philip Bump notes, Walker's jobs record has come up short of his goals.
3. He has a record of supporting immigration reform
Like many Republicans in the 2016 field, Walker's position on immigration reform is complicated. Back in 2002, shortly after being elected to executive of Milwaukee County, Walker signed a resolution calling for comprehensive immigration reform. In 2013, he said it "makes sense" to grant citizenship to undocumented workers in the country.
He's since walked away from those views: In March, he admitted he "flat-out" changed his mind on comprehensive immigration reform. In April, he said illegal immigration needs to be curbed, Johnson reports. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal's Reid Epstein has reported on a private dinner in which Walker sounded like he backed a path to citizenship again.
Confused? So might GOP primary voters -- especially in Iowa, where nobody wants to run afoul of the conservative base.

Ben&Ben announced on Thursday, August 26, their special collaboration with onscreen tandem Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano.
On Instagram, the OPM band announced that "DonBelle" is starring in the official music video of their single "Upuan."
"We heard you, Liwanag and Bubblies! We've been keeping this a secret but it's finally happening. Nagsimula sa posts niyo, andito na tayo," they said.
"Dream. Believe. Manifest. Repeat!" they added.
The "Upuan" music video will be released on Sunday, August 29, at 6 pm, simultaneous with the launch of their album, Pebble House Vol. 1: Kuwaderno.
It was on Wednesday, August 25, when Ben&Ben first teased their collaboration with Donny and Belle, who topbilled the hit ABS-CBN series He's Into Her, which concluded last July.
Last year, Ben&Ben also teamed up with another popular love team—real-life couple Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla—for the music video of their song "Sa Susunod Na Habang Buhay."
"Upuan" was one of the first two singles Ben&Ben released from their upcoming sophomore album last May. According to the band, the song describes "palpable romantic tension that arises from friendships that are formed by sitting next to each other, and the adventurous conversations that ensue.”
Based on their earlier announcement, the album Pebble House will have a total of 12 tracks—"Kwaderno", "Kasayaw", "Swimming Pool" feat. Chito Miranda, "Elyu", "Pasalubong" feat. Moira dela Torre, "Magpahinga", "Lunod" feat. Zild and juan karlos, "Sabel" feat. KZ Tandingan, "Kapangyarihan" feat. SB19, "Sugat" feat. Munimuni, "Upuan", "Ilang tulog na lang", and "Kayumanggi".
The new record follows Ben&Ben's debut studio album Limasawa Street, which was released in 2019 and featured their hit singles "Pagtingin" and "Araw-Araw".

Numerical Simulations and Optimization Analysis of the Heat Transfer in Piezoelectric Fans
MetadataShow full item record
A combined theoretical/computational study is performed to investigate an innovative cooling technology using piezoelectric actuators. The piezoelectric fan is an ultra-low energy air mover which induces unsteady periodic flow. This study focuses on the characteristics of the fluid flow and heat transfer as well as system optimisation in terms of the operational parameters of the piezoelectric fan blade. Regarding the dynamics of piezoelectric fan movements, the fan blades vibrate as a wave-like motion. The fan blade can be simplified as a homogeneous viscoelastic beam with uniform cross-section. In the theoretical analysis, the method of complex orthogonal decomposition is adopted to analyse the blade motions, and the travelling index is proposed to evaluate the curvature of piezoelectric fan blade. The unsteady fluid flow and heat transfer have been studied by computational fluid dynamics based on three-dimensional large-eddy simulation. A parametric study has been performed to investigate the effects of three dynamic parameters of the blade oscillation: oscillating frequency, oscillating amplitude and wave number. In the heat transfer study, a heat source represented by a high temperature wall is added to the computational model. The temperature and the surface Nusselt number of the hot wall serve the purpose of evaluating the characteristics of heat transfer. It is found that the oscillation frequency and amplitude have significant impacts on the fluid flow and heat transfer. In addition, the response surface method facilitates the process of finding the optimal operational parameters of piezoelectric fans. Considering practical limitations imposed by fan geometries and materials, factors determining the optimal operational parameters are outlined as the theoretical optimal operational parameters may not be achievable in practical applications. The results and analyses provide fundamental knowledge to guide the design of a piezoelectric fan system for cooling applications.

Jimmy Carr and Rich Hall were crowned comedy legends today, but appeared distinctly unimpressed with the accolade.
The pair were among the winners at the 2011 Loaded Laftas awards held at the Cuckoo Club in Piccadilly, London.
Hall, who won the Perrier Comedy Award at the 2000 Edinburgh Festival for his show featuring his alter ego Otis Lee Crenshaw, joked that being given the title of Stand-up Legend was a "career pinnacle".
He said: "I can't tell you the amount of times I've read, well looked at, this magazine and thought that's the accolade I want.
"It's like the Pulitzer of comedy."
Carr, whose deadpan one-liners have seen him perform to sell-out audiences on lengthy tours and become a familiar face on television, picked up the accolade of Loaded Legend.
Asked what he thought of the award, he said: "It hasn't even affected my day that much."
Alan Carr and Isy Suttie, best known for her role as Dobby in Channel 4's 'Peep Show', picked up the awards for Funniest Man and Woman respectively, while Michael McIntyre scooped Best Stand Up for the second year running.
Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer also hold on to their title as Funniest Double Act.
There was double success for Rhod Gilbert who was named Funniest TV Personality and saw his show, 'Ask Rhod Gilbert', win Best Panel Show.
'Phone Shop' won Funniest TV Show ahead of 'The Inbetweeners' and 'Peep Show' and Omid Djalili and David Baddiel's movie 'The Infidel' received Funniest Film award.
Loaded editor Andy Sherwood said: "This year's awards just highlight the fantastic calibre of comedic talent we have in the UK across live stand up, television, radio and film and we're delighted to be celebrating such stellar talent at this year's Loaded Laftas."

Family home suggestions are the best place for gathering as a residence, entertaining and even a quiet place of rest, consequently, it is crucial that we give the interior style of these areas just as significantly thing to consider as we would the rest of the house.
Though the initially reception space may possibly be the spot for additional formal dwelling room ideas aimed at hosting guests, a household place is the portion of the home where by movie nights reign supreme, the young ones can indulge in their most loved board video games, and the entire family members can take it easy in every single other’s firm.
If your property has just just one dedicated household home, you’ll will need to perform out how to harmony even far more eventualities – luckily, we have pulled collectively a complete host of methods to make any dwelling area fit for the whole residence.
Spouse and children place ideas
Change your household place into a sociable hub for the entire clan with our curated assortment of style and design principles, as advised by the industry experts.
1. Increase storage in a family home
‘As we spend extra time at home, we become additional aware than ever of the need for area,’ says Simon Tcherniak, senior home furniture designer at Neville Johnson. ‘Family rooms that were the moment neglected are getting rejuvenated as tranquil areas or multifunctional dwelling (and entertaining) zones.’
‘The family space is in which the desire is biggest at the minute. Owners are seeking for a dynamic house that lets them the time to unwind at the end of a active working day but also 1 that will definitely reward from the more family time we have all been afforded in the latest months.’
‘Consider dwelling home furnishings suggestions that function equally drawers and open up shelving,’ says Rachel Galbraith, inventive director at Ercol. ‘This flexibility permits for bulkier things and ugly Television controllers to be stowed out of sight, although eye-catching extras can be styled on surfaces at eye amount. If you adore to mix up your interiors on a frequent basis, no cost-standing patterns are a ideal choice and can be moved all-around the dwelling.’
2. Be certain that your relatives place is very well-lit
‘The to start with detail I do when setting up living place lighting strategies is to find spots in a room for desk lamps, sconces, photograph lights, pendants, ground lamps and desk lights – decorative factors arrive initial,’ suggests Tiffany Duggan of Studio Duggan and Trove.
Take into consideration how the mild alterations throughout the working day when considering about the place to posture lights to build the most impact. ‘Think about adaptable gentle sources for distinctive circumstances: a ground gentle with a swivel arm is excellent as an night looking through lamp at the rear of a couch or chair,’ claims Hollie Moreland, inventive director of David Hunt Lighting. ‘Remember that shade unquestionably living place colour ideas can influence the mood of a space, so for included ambience, decide on darkish dwelling place tones which will really feel moodier and cozier – great for motion picture nights in.’
3. Factor technological innovation into your ideas
Present a put for leisure without the need of sacrificing type. A Tv set, and other technological know-how, is an critical issue in most family rooms, from Wi-Fi obtain to history tunes, and the pattern is towards thoroughly hid solutions.
Do not let a Tv spoil your dwelling area aesthetic. Invest in a Tv set that blends wonderfully into the track record without interrupting the relaxation of the scheme, and be positive to hold wires concealed driving cupboards or in just the walls.
Alternatively, if you are fitting a wall of dwelling home storage that incorporates a space for your Television, let enough space really should you determine to invest in a larger product. Try not to produce too large a hole, as your Tv set will seem awkwardly little.
4. Get the furniture right
‘Getting the dwelling place furniture suitable in a household place is just one of the most significant troubles in family rooms,’ states Mike Fisher, creative director and founder, Studio Indigo.
‘This needs to be a realistic room, regardless of whether for looking at Television set or making superior conversation. What you decide on needs to be attractive and add to the character and harmony of the house. Inevitably, I locate people often graduate to the smaller sized rooms of a house as they are far more intimate and cozier, whereas huge rooms can make you come to feel modest and awkward. Be bold with your tiny space and use large-scale household furniture sparingly to give the illusion that the area is grander than it is.’
5. Use sample to enrich character
‘The spouse and children living area is a communal room and need to reflect all people who lives in the home,’ suggests Eva Sonaike, inventive director, Eva Sonaike. ‘It is a place in which we socialize, entertain and rest so the layout should really be practical, but also entertaining. I like to perform with sample and shade in this article. For illustration, I may possibly use patterned scatter cushions on a living space couch together with occasional chairs and pouffes upholstered in fabrics of your decision. These themes can then be echoed in extras these types of as ornaments with vibrant layouts.’
6. Opt for furnishings correctly
‘Furnishings engage in an important position in how your family members area concepts are obtained – and consumed,’ claims James Thurstan Waterworth, founder, Thurstan.
‘When operating with considerably less spacious spouse and children rooms, we suggest a viewed as curation of vital pieces – spreading a substantial rug as an anchor for the plan and then creating out from there, finding out tones from the rug and embellishing these during the area. A central table can generate a focal level in a compact dwelling room, best framed by inward-struggling with armchairs which support create depth and quantity.’
7. Visually extend your place with clever shade selections
‘When a solitary shade is applied on each partitions and woodwork, a room suddenly feels even larger due to the fact getting no contrast means that you are significantly less informed of the confines of the space,’ says Joa Studholme, color curator, Farrow & Ball. ‘The eye does not prevent to register a second colour and glides straight out of the window to the look at, mixing the backyard garden and place collectively.’
Get your whole loved ones concerned in the color approach, and move away from the obvious choices. This is a home for the overall domestic, so now is your possibility to get really inventive.
8. Go large in a little household dwelling
‘People generally suppose they should obtain modest-scale household furniture for smaller relatives rooms, but that truly would make a room truly feel scaled-down,’ says Sheena Murphy, spouse, Nune. ‘Don’t be concerned to fill the room – get a rug that absolutely sits beneath all your furniture, and never get a really like seat if you can truly suit a a few-seater dwelling room sofa in the area. Not only will acquiring bigger scale home furniture seem improved, it will also make your practical experience of this sociable room so a lot a lot more relaxed: acquire-gain!’
9. Generate a hub for loved ones existence with an open strategy house
There is a great reason why open up-system living home ideas are even now so well-known. Shifting outside of the kitchen area, a modern open up-idea family members area ditches the official dwelling area, property business office and reception place in favor of a person massive, multifunctional area, with entertaining at its heart.
If you are a loved ones that likes to acquire – alongside one another or with friends – loved ones residing area suggestions like these will suit your way of living. ‘The main inspiration for producing an open up-idea household house is to be a lot more sociable. Mothers and fathers can prepare meals even though interacting with their youngsters, most likely assisting them with homework, and monitor Tv set or world wide web use,’ states Robert Burnett of Holloways of Ludlow.
What’s additional, heating and lights one particular area alternatively than many can also aid cut down your vitality monthly bill in the colder months.
10. Choose for boy or girl-welcoming furnishings and upholstery
Little one and pet-friendly materials and finishes are a should for every single family room. ‘We do not think that aesthetics require to be compromised by features,’ suggests Clara Ewart, Head of Style at Kitesgrove. ‘Clients are often understandably nervous about employing high-priced resources or finishes in rooms utilised by young little ones, but there are a good deal of magnificent solutions that are uncomplicated to clean up and maintain.’
Also, when devising a family members area that is secure for youngsters, search to home furnishings with curved alternatively than straight edges. ‘Curves are quite a lot on development for 2022, softening the strains in the inside to create a substantially additional welcoming room that is ideal for the complete residence,’ states Graeme Smith, conceptual designer at Metris.
Family members room concepts
From the very best living home storage ideas to smart seating and furniture arrangements with more than enough home for every person to kick again and loosen up, we have sought out some definitely inspiring areas, and asked the experts to share their favored family members room suggestions.
What do you set in a spouse and children area?
When it will come to building a family members place, for most homes, a Television is an necessary software for encouraging grown ups unwind, holding the young ones entertained, and facilitating cozy film nights.
Optimum dwelling area seating is yet another spouse and children room concept that need to be regarded in the course of the original arranging stage. ‘We propose that you strategy seating in groups to make certain discussion flows when you have friends and take into account scale and how distinctive pieces will sit together,’ states interior designer Nina Campbell. ‘Seating heights differ so stability is important, but make guaranteed that absolutely everyone is seated at the exact same degree.’
If you want to get the entire family members involved in the decorating, consider incorporating a fantastically-curated gallery wall. Casual family members rooms are a great location to display family images. Alternatively, curate your personal element wall by hanging artwork alongside one another as a cluster or team. Choose which paintings, prints or cloth will anchor the scheme then acquire your decorating cues from them.
What is the variation among a residing room and a relatives room?
‘Most living rooms are located at the front of the dwelling and are utilised for entertaining attendees in a formal residing area placing,’ clarifies inside designer Darla Bankston Might. ‘Valuable belongings and relatives heirlooms are included in the design of the home. The family place is a everyday area located towards the back of the house. This area is multifunctional and provides a place for peace, recreational pursuits, and socializing with spouse and children and mates.’
‘I feel most individuals understand the family space to be a comfortable place where loved ones and near close friends obtain, play online games, and watch television,’ adds Eyles. ‘The residing home utilized to be a formal location for parties only, additional grownup, and a large amount stiffer – people descriptions are considerably much more fluid currently.’
‘Some properties have a game place or media home, and some have accomplished absent with any distinction concerning the loved ones place and dwelling room entirely. We are seeing a great deal of persons who want only 1 multi-useful area that will work for an stylish cocktail bash or relatives match evening.’
