British Vogue Set to Educate Children
Alexandra Shulman, editor of British Vogue, has launched a program for children to help them understand the process of creating a magazine editorial. This is a part of the ongoing Health Initiative launched by Vogue last year. “As Editor of Vogue, I am frequently asked about the influence and messages the images in the magazine send to our readers about body image,” said Shulman in a statement. “Our mission in Vogue’s fashion pictures is to inspire and entertain while showing the clothes created by many highly talented designers. They are created with this intention in mind, not to represent reality. The problem, if there is a problem, comes when people judge themselves and their appearance against the models they see on the pages of a magazine and then feel that in some way they fall short.”

Joseph Appler's pacer Sri Panka used the inside route to post a 1:54.3 victory in Saturday night's $8,000 featured seventh race at Vernon Downs.
Sitting second for most of the week's Open-2 contest, Sri Panka ($8.50) found himself hemmed in behind the pace-setting Johnny Midnight and other rallying contenders heading down the stretch.
Driver Frank Davis, sitting in for trainer John Gagnon, Jr., had no choice but to try and maneuver his charge through tight quarters in the lower pylon path and, together, they managed to squirt through and post a 1-1/4 length victory over Johnny Midnight.
It marked the initial win in this class, the second victory at the meet, fourth first-place finish of the season and the 12th all-time for the 5-year-old son of The Panderosa-Road To Pandalay, who now sports career earnings of $134,726.
Leading provisional driver Truman Gale earned his 15th score at the meet after winning with the pacer Mr. Express (1:55), while leading driver Jimmy Whittemore finished first with the pacers Fox Valley Lee (1:54) and Forty Carrots (1:53.3) to secure his Downs leading 12th double of the 45-card campaign.

Mr. Avalanche stretched his winning streak to three and helped driver Chris Lems achieve a five-win outing with a 1:58.2 showing in Friday night's $10,000 featured ninth race at Vernon Downs.
Facing seven select rivals in the week's Open-1 trot, Mr. Avalanche ($19.60) was directed to the front from the number four post by Lems and the gritty gelding remained there throughout, defeating Mystic Splendor by more than two lengths over a track rated sloppy.
Friday's first-place finish was the third locally, the sixth this season and the 11th all-time for the steady-striding 5-year-old son of Striking Sahbra-Epoque Effe, who is trained by Paul Durante, Jr. and owned by Jeremy Godfrey.
The career winner of $43,787 was competing in Vernon's top trotting test for the first time.
Lems, third in dashes won at the Downs this season, raised his win count to 39 after also scoring with the freshman trotter Catman Dude (2:04.1) in the third race, the sophomore filly pacer Excited Ideal (1:58.1) in the sixth session, the veteran trotter Duke Of Wellington (1:59.4) in race seven and the 2-year-old pacing colt Fresh Dream (2:00.2) in the eighth event.

The oily-gaited Pacinello produced a track record, while Fred's Dream extended his winning streak to five in one of five late-closing divisions for New York-bred 3-year-old male trotters at Vernon Downs on Saturday night.
Competing in Saturday's $10,000 ninth race, the week's Open-1 contest, Pacinello ($19.20) took advantage of fast early fractions (a half in :55.2), rallied to the lead from third on the backstretch and rolled to a solid 1:50.2 score, that set a new Vernon standard for aged pacing horses.

Social Learning Theory
Bandura (1962) Suggested that all behaviour is learnt. SLT suggests that we also learn through observing others. Bandura distinguishes between the learning process of the aggressive behaviour and the performance of it. He suggests that we learn through models (i.e parents, teachers, siblings, friends, the media etc) but the likelihood of the aggressive behaviour being imitated depends upon on the perceived consequences of the behaviour. There are three main stages depending on the development of a behaviour:
1. Acquisition: Observing and learning the aggressive behaviour.
2. Instigation: Gradually taking part in aggressive behaviour.
3. Regulation: Whether the aggressive behaviour continues or not depends on reinforcement.
Social Learning Theory
Direct: When the person who is acting aggressively is rewarded or punished for it.
Indirect (Vicarious Reinforcement): The person observes someone else that has been aggressive being rewarded or punished for it.
Supporting Evidence and Evaluation of SLT
Cooper and Mackie: Found agressive behaviour in girls (9 and 10 year olds) increased after playing aggressive video games.
Patterson: Found differences in home environment of aggressive children and non-aggressive children. Affection is rarely displayed, aggressive techniques were used to cope with situations and physical discipline was demonstrated through physical punishment and verbal ridicule.
Bandura's Bobo dolls: The children who had watched a model behaving aggressively were more violent and imitated some of the exact behaviours they had observed.
Evaluation of the Social Learning Theory: It does offer an understanding of how children in particular may indirectly learn aggression from others. It has implications on the influence of media on children’s behaviour. Aggression is more complex than the social learning theory argues. Other factors will affect the amount of aggression a person exhibits.
Deindividuation refers to situations where individuals feel anonymous, part of the crowd. This can occur when; they are surrounded by large numbers of people i.e. in a crowd or when they are in uniform, i.e. clothing makes individual identification difficult. These things could result in;
· A loss of personal identity
· A loss of responsibility
· A reduction in the fear of public disapproval
· Disinhibited – an individual loses their inhibitions that prevent them acting aggressively.
Dividuation: Public and Private self awareness
Public Self Awareness: A sense of being visible to other people. When they are less visible and less likely to be identified they feel more anonymous. This reduces their self-awareness. As a result they feel a greater chance of getting away with behaviour that might otherwise be punished.
Private Self Awareness: This is a sense of self, their inner thoughts and feelings. However when they are immersed in a crowd, sharing a collective experience people tend to focus on what’s going on around them rather than themselves.This may result in more impulsive and less rational behaviour.
A decrease in public or private awareness may result in aggressive behaviour.
Supporting research of Deindividuation
Zimbardo: Zimbardo conducted a study in which female participants were asked to deliver electric shocks to a woman as part of a learning experiment. One group of participants wore bulky clothing and hoods, which covered their faces, were never called by name and were placed in a dimly lit room. A second group wore their regular clothes, were called by their name and had large name tags, and were placed in a brightly lit room. Results showed that shocks delivered by the hooded group were twice as severe as those given by the non-hooded group.
HOWEVER: Johnson and Downing criticised Zimbardo’s study as they found that participants wearing a nurse’s uniform didn’t give shocks to the ‘learner’ even though they were still deindividuated.
Evaluation of Deindividuation
+ On some occasions deindividuation actually leads to more pro social behaviour, for example policemen and nurses etc. An individual can act independently, deindividuation is not always inevitable.
- Individual differences will play a part. Some people are more receptive to deindividuation than others. The theory assumes that everyone within a crowd or when their anonymous will conform and act differently, where as peoples personalities will have a huge influence on how people respond / act in different situations.
- Deindividuation does not always lead to aggression, there are many times when people are in large crowds and do not become aggressive.

By Laura Freeman
Experience can be a strong source of inspiration. Many who go into healing professions can trace their interest back to a time when they or someone near them went through a health challenge.
For Luke Bice, being born with a serious heart defect originally led him to want to become a neonatal cardiothoracic surgeon. “I wanted to help save babies with congenital heart defects,” he said. “After a couple of years studying biology on the premed track, it seemed that treatment for these types of disorders was already well-advanced. I talked with a friend’s father who worked with a large healthcare organization and realized that healthcare administration offered the potential for creating beneficial changes on a broad scale. So I changed my major at Samford University to Healthcare Administration.”
During a course in contemporary issues in healthcare, Bice went to instructor Courtney N. Haun, PhD, MPH, to ask about opportunities to participate in research.
“I challenged Luke to think about topics that would be of particular interest to him,” Haun said. “He shared that he had been born with a critical congenital heart defect (CCHD). I suggested that he look into the topic to see if he could identify an area where more data research was needed.”
Bice, who grew up in Geneva, Illinois, was diagnosed at birth with dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA), with the aorta and pulmonary artery reversed where they connect to the heart, preventing it from pumping oxygenated blood throughout the body.
“I was air lifted to UNC Children’s Hospital, where I received an open heart surgery called an Arterial Switch operation,” he said. “Since then, I have been blessed with good health and have not been physically or mentally limited. The condition is not expected to cause any future problems.”
In reviewing related literature, Bice found a study in JAMA about newborn screening for heart defects and the lives those screenings had potentially saved. He noticed that the findings in the study had only been reported through 2013.
“Luke set out to bring those findings up to date and expand the study as far out as available data allowed,” Haun said. “We worked together to set up a format for gathering aggregate state-level data from the CDC for analysis to evaluate CCHD and CCHD-related deaths in the U.S. between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2019.”
Bice said, “The study includes data from before and after implementation of mandatory screenings for CCHDs. 13 conditions included in the study were identified through the CCHD-related ICD-10 codes provided by the National Library of Medicine’s Newborn Screening and Coding Terminology Guide.”
Findings from the research project showed a decline in early infant death rates due to CCHDs associated with a nationwide mandatory screening policy. This provides support for policies such as a pulse ox mandate that improves care and saves lives.
Haun said, “The research project was an incredible accomplishment for an undergraduate student. The initial findings were presented at the 2022 Alabama Academy of Sciences Conference. Positive feedback and suggestions helped to tailor the study design. Then Luke presented a poster at the 2022 Samford Research Colloquia.”
Before submitting an article on the research for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, Bice and Haun felt the project could be further improved by input from experts in the field. David Naftel, MD, 2021 Pediatric Heart Transplant Society Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, came to Samford and met with Bice and Haun. His expertise in statistics and pediatric heart health provided insights that were beneficial in preparing the manuscript.
The Status of Critical Congenital Heart Defect Infant Deaths After Pulse-Oximetry Screening Mandates has been accepted for publication in The Journal of the Alabama Academy of Science.
Mentoring is another form of paying it forward, passing on skills and knowledge to the next generation. “It has been a blessing to serve as a research mentor to Luke, connect with experts in this particular area, and see Luke’s passion for this field be brought to fruition,” Haun said.
“Dr. Haun’s guidance and help were essential to making this research possible,” Bice said. “We hope our research will provide insights into the effectiveness of such policies and support their continued use in reducing infant mortality as well as saving lives and improving health in people of all ages.”

The Colombia star scored two while Javier Hernandez, Isco and Jese Rodriguez were all on target in an easy win for the European champions
Real Madrid walked to the last-16 of the Copa del Rey with a 9-1 aggregate win over Cornella following their 5-0 trouncing of the Catalonian side in the second-leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday.
The European champions headed into the clash with a 4-1 advantage following their victory in October and made easy work of the second game, going in 3-0 up at half time through a James Rodriguez double and an Isco goal.
Javier Hernandez added to that tally with a strike in the second half before Jese Rodriguez enjoyed a perfect return from injury, scoring shortly after coming off the bench in his first game since March.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men head into the last-16, where they will meet the winner of the tie between L’Hospitalet and Atletico Madrid.

My old band, Marathon, has some announcements:
MARATHON Announces Reunion Show Lineups And Live Album/Video Release
We are pleased to announce the lineup and venues for the reunion shows! We invited some old friends to play to maximize quality and fun. It’s gonna be a blast! Hope you’ll be joining us. Presale tickets go live this Friday at Noon EST. Those links will be posted on the @Marathon_2013 twitter. The venues fit a couple hundred people and we have no idea if they will sell out so we recommend buying early.
On May 20th, 2006, Marathon played (what we thought was) our last show for a packed house at The Furnace in Syracuse. We recorded the show, and though it’s no Frampton Comes Alive!, it’s a document of what we were as a band at one of our finest moments. We once planned on releasing this as a DVD, but we are in the digital age, my friends…and we are lazy. We finally got our act together, and with the help of a few friends, we polished the footage as best we could, and you can watch the full set on Youtube. Additionally, the audio tracks of this show are available on Bandcamp for pay-what-you-like download as the album Live At The Furnace 2006.
We hope to see you at the shows!

Slow down a team’s opposing running back, that seems like something an NFL team should be able to do a couple times a year. But for the Cleveland Browns, not only is it something that they have not done this year—it is the proverbial monkey on the back of the team’s defense during the Mike Pettine era.
Heading into Sunday’s matchup against the St. Louis Rams, there is probably zero chance of the Browns defense stopping the run. However, if they can slow down extremely talented rookie back, Todd Gurley, they just might have a chance to win this one. Unfortunately for the Browns, there are two problems with that statement.
The first problem is in regard to slowing down a talented running back, as the Browns haven’t been able to slow down backs with far less talent than Gurley this season. The proof is in the pudding, so to speak, as the Browns have allowed a league-worst 899 yards on 181 carries (149.8 yards per game) through six games this season.
On the other side of the field, the Rams are putting up 113.8 yards per game on the ground—which is good for No. 12 in the league. If you are getting excited about the difference between 149.8 and 113.8 right now, take a deep breath because it is about to get worse. In the two games Gurley has carried the ball like a starting running back (against Arizona and Green Bay), the Rams rushed for 164 yards and 191 yards respectively.
When you look at who the Browns have allowed to gash their defense this season—Dexter McCluster and Danny Woodhead to name two—let’s just say it is tough to get excited about the prospects of stopping Gurley on Sunday. This brings us to problem number two, Gurley.
See, problem number one was the fact that the Browns have struggled against less talented backs. Problem number two is Gurley could be the most talented back in the NFL by the end of the season, no offense to Adrian Peterson.
In 55 NFL carries, Gurley has ripped off 314 yards for an average of 5.7 yards-per carry. If you want to put those numbers into context, Browns running back Isaiah Crowell has 272 yards on 73 carries and Duke Johnson has 159 yards on 49 carries. Simply put, Gurley’s talent level is on another level than the backs the Browns currently have.
To make matters worse for the Browns, Gurley has yet to find the endzone this season.
Yes you read that correctly, the back who ripped off 36 touchdowns in 30 collegiate games has yet to score a touchdown this season. This does not bode well for the Browns, who have given up six touchdowns on the season to running backs. If Gurley isn’t seeing red every time he stares at the Browns defense from the backfield, I would be very shocked.
So, how do you slow down Gurley if you are the Browns? Well, it will not be easy—but there is a way.
Go back in time and find a different front seven—kidding, well kind of. In all seriousness, the Browns are going to have to stack the box and make Nick Foles beat them if they want to slow down Gurley, which is something that can be done.
Foles has only thrown for 956 yards this season (191.2 per game) in his five games, and currently is the owner of his worst career completion percentage at 57.4 percent. With six touchdowns versus five interceptions, there will be plenty of opportunities for the Browns to force Foles into a bad decision that could turn the game. And that is why the Browns need to force him to beat them, and not let Gurley.
An admitted fan of Foles, he isn’t the most nimble guy in the world and has a tendency to make bad decisions at times—as evidenced by 15 interceptions in his last 13 games. So if I’m the Browns defensive staff, that’s who I want to try and beat me on Sunday.
This all sounds good in theory, but it has to be executed on the field in St. Louis for it to work—but the Browns certainly can do this if their coaching staff has it in their gameplan. You aren’t going to bottle up Gurley, he is far too talented for that. But if you can slow him down a little, the Browns just may have a chance in this one.

Tom Basden’s “Joseph K.” on stage at DasDas Sahne
Tom Basden’s “Joseph K.” on stage at DasDas Sahne with a translation of İlksen Başarır with the supervision of Serdar Biliş. Mert Fırat, Didem Balçın, Onur Dilber and Özgün Aydın are starring.
Tom Basden’s Joseph K is a darkly comic stage adaptation of Franz Kafka’s classic novel The Trial, relocating the source material to 21st-century Britain. It was first performed at the Gate Theatre, London, in 2010.
It’s Joseph K’s thirtieth birthday and he’s about to settle down with some takeaway sushi. However, his delivery is intercepted by two men who have not only taken a bite out of his California roll but, rather more alarmingly, inform him that he is under arrest. He has no idea what he’s supposed to have done wrong but he’s determined to clear his name. As he tries to make sense of his situation and to confront those who threaten his freedom, Joseph is thrown headlong into a fight against an invisible and illogical law.

Ptosis refers to drooping of eyelids. Ptosis occurs due to weakness of levator palpebrae superioris, the muscle responsible for eyelid elevation. Ptosis can occur due to a variety of causes, including nuclear, infranuclear and supranuclear causes.
The commonest causes of ptosis are infranuclear due to involvement of oculomotor nerve (3rd nerve palsy), the LPS muscle itself (muscular dystrophy, mechanical ptosis, etc), neuromuscular junction disorders (myasthenia gravis). Horner’s syndrome due to involvement of sympathetic nerve fibres can also cause ptosis.
Nuclear lesion due to midbrain disease causes bilateral ptosis. This is because central caudal subnucleus subserves LPS of both sides.
Supranuclear lesions causing ptosis is not common. However, ptosis has previously been described in cases of hemispheric strokes. Bilateral ptosis was found more commonly with right hemispheric strokes (as compared to left hemispheric strokes). In another cases, bilateral ptosis with restriction of vertical upward gaze was found in a case of right putaminal hemorrhage. Another report suggested that bilateral ptosis in an otherwise alert patient with hemispheric stroke could suggesting an impending herniation.
Our patient, a 59-year old man, known diabetic and hypertensive, presented with acute onset let hemiplegia and bilateral ptosis. Extraocular movements were normal and he was fully alert. CT scan showed a large infarct in right MCA territory. He was conservatively managed and did not require decompressive hemicraniectomy.
Salient features of cerebral ptosis
- Cerebral ptosis is usually bilateral.
- Ptosis is of sudden onset and there is no diurnal variation.
- Patient is usually alert and fully conscious.
- Extraocular movements are normal, however, there may be restriction of upward gaze in some cases.
- Bilateral cerebral ptosis is most commonly seen with right hemispheric strokes (ischemic or hemorrhagic).
- Cerebral ptosis is transient and recovery starts within four days of onset. Most patients completely recover within 10 days.
- Cerebral ptosis expresses the inhibition of the voluntary eyelid elevation center, of prefrontal location in the non-dominant hemisphere.

When one pictures creativity the stereotype is often an artist or writer. Though these professions have creativity in common, they aren’t the only ones who can take advantage of this skill (pay special note to skill, rather than talent). People in business, lawyers, mathematicians, scientists, doctors and many others can reap the major benefits of creativity. After all, creativity is simply the ability to think outside of the box, and the ability to combine dissimilar thoughts. When expressed this way, the inherent importance of creativity is near-palpable. This article serves as a guide to deepening, or even jump-starting, your creativity.

I hate walking through these double doors into the school it’s just a reminder that my life is terrible, I see all the popular girls, my sister included, with their hot popular boyfriends surrounded by people who adore them and I have none of that. But as I stand in front of my locker staring at them, I remember I have Catherine. As Catherine walks up I wonder what is she wearing, of course, this must be part of her plan to be in with the cool crowd. Just because you dress slutty doesn’t mean people will like you, it just means more guys will want to get in your pants and more girls will hate you. I reach over to give Catherine a hug when suddenly flashes of images appear. I can see everything that Catherine has seen throughout her life, like I’m reliving them as her, through her eyes. From the moment she first saw the light when she was born till now. Then the last vision is just the image of Catherine in pain. I can feel it, heartbreak.

when i opened up the csa box last night and saw this cabbage (which looked better last night, pre-refrigeration), it reminded me of abby's beautiful photo of the amazing kmk cabbage.
i am not going to tell you where in the flat my cabbage photo was taken though. let's just say the turquoise walls (which are way more blue and bright in person) of a certain room seemed like they'd make a pretty background for the purple. (i hope my housemate and csa box sharer is not reading this.)
today i wrote a letter to one of my favorite authors to request permission to include some words of his in this book i'm compiling. the piece with his words in it is not by me, but the permission request "allowed" me to express my gratitude to him. (of course he is probably not the one reading the letter, but i wrote as though he would be reading it, and that felt quite nice.)

The Sumerian King List (SKL)
Description: The Sumerian King List is an important chronographic document from ancient Mesopotamia. It lists a long succession of cities in Sumer and its neighbouring regions where kingship was invested, the rulers who reigned in those cities and the length of their reigns. The list starts with the remote mythical past when kingship had descended from heaven. The rulers in the earliest dynasties are represented as reigning fantastically long periods. Some of these rulers such as Etana, Lugal-banda and Gilgamesh are mythical or legendary figures known also from Sumerian and Babylonian literary compositions. As the King List reaches historical rulers whose reigns are attested by their royal inscriptions, the length of each reign becomes more realistic. The King List ends with the reign of a Mesopotamian ruler presumably contemporaneous with the author or redactor of the List.
When first discovered and published in the beginning of the last century, the Sumerian King List was valued highly as a historical document for its potential to check the validity of the biblical chronology in the Book of Genesis and to reconstruct early world and Mesopotamian (political) history. But scholarly research has gradually turned to focus on the historiographical value of the King List at the times when it was composed or redacted. Especially, it is noted that the King List was composed to promulgate a political vision or doctrine that the pattern of kingship or hegemony in Mesopotamia could only be exercised by one city at a given time and for a limited period. Such political doctrine is said to have been used by the early rulers of the Isin dynasty (ca. 1953–1730 B.C.) to legitimise themselves as the rightful rulers of the Ur III dynasty (ca. 2119–2004 B.C.). Both conceptually and stylistically, the Sumerian King List had exerted a wide-spread and enduring impact on a number of Mesopotamian literary compositions and chronographic sources from the Ur III period to the Hellenistic period (ca. 290 B.C.).
Among all the extant exemplars of the Sumerian King List, the Weld-Blundell prism in the Ashmolean Museum cuneiform collection represents the most extensive version as well as the most complete copy of the King List. It lists rulers from the antediluvian dynasties to Suen-magir, the fourteenth ruler of the Isin dynasty (ca. 1763–1753 B.C.). The prism contains four sides with two columns on each side. Perforated, the prism must originally have a wooden spindle going through its centre so that it might be rotated and read on all four sides.
The Sumerian King List has different versions or recensions represented by a number of cuneiform sources (most of these are fragmentary) that are dated to the Ur III period (ca. 2119–2004 B.C.) and Old Babylonian period (ca. 2000–1600 B.C.). These sources were discovered at different quarters of ancient Mesopotamia and its periphery, including Nippur, Isin, Kish, Larsa, and Susa. Despite the commonalities these versions or recensions share, they can diverge from one and another in both content and style. Variations due to different local traditions may account for some of these divergences. Changes during transmission history may also have contributed to these differences. Based on historical evidence and analyses, it is suggested that the King List has gone through different stages of development in different locations, a process which may have started as early as the Sargonic period (ca. 2334–2154 B.C.), continued through the Ur III period, and culminated in the Old Babylonian period. During the course of transmission, the chronographic information and stylistic formulae of the List seem to have grown. Additional rulers, introductory and summary formulae for each dynasty and anecdotal information for certain individual rulers were inserted. Most noteworthy is that after the Ur III period the primeval flood catastrophe emerged as a watershed on the chronological timeline, dividing world history into the antediluvian era and the postdiluvian era. The Flood motif and the antediluvian section, not attested as part of the Ur III version of the Sumerian King List, only began to emerge in some versions or recentions of the King List since the Old Babylonian period.
Since the publication of the first fragment of the Sumerian King List in 1906, the value of the King List was initially perceived to be its potential to check the validity of the biblical chronology in the Book of Genesis, or to reconstruct early world and Mesopotamian (political) history. However, the optimistic view on the List as a historical document was soon met with a wave of scepticism as scholars began to turn attention to the ideological perspective of the King List, the omission of several important historical dynasties, and the incredibly long reigns of some early rulers on the List. In the latter half of the last century, scholars began to focus more on the historiographical value of the King List at the times when it was composed or redacted. It is observed that the King List was composed and used to inculcate a particular political vision or doctrine, that the pattern of kingship or hegemony in Mesopotamia could only be exercised by one city at a given time and for a limited period. This political doctrine is believed to have been employed by the early rulers of the Isin dynasty (ca. 1953–1730 B.C.) as an important ideological tool to legitimise themselves as the rightful successors of the Ur III rulers. The influence of the King List was by no means restricted to the domain of politics in ancient Mesopotamia. Its ideological stance and chronographic style, structure and data exerted a wide-spread and enduring impact on a number of Mesopotamian literary compositions (e.g., the Curse of Agade, the Lamentation over Sumer and Ur, the Sumerian Flood Story) and later chronographic sources (e.g., the Rulers of Lagash, the Babylonian Dynastic Chronicle, the Assyrian King List, Berossos’ Babyloniaca) from the Ur III period to the Hellenistic period (ca. 290 B.C.).
Among all the extant exemplars of the Sumerian King List, the Weld-Blundell prism in the Ashmolean Museum cuneiform collection represents the most extensive version as well as the most complete copy of the King List. It lists rulers from the antediluvian dynasties to Suen-magir, the fourteenth ruler of the Isin dynasty (ca. 1763–1753 B.C.). The prism contains four sides with two columns on each side. Perforated, the prism must originally have had a wooden spindle going through its centre so that it might be rotated and read on all four sides. (SYC)

Black Rock Coalition is a nonprofit, member-supported, grassroots organization founded in 1985 to facilitate the maximum development, exposure & acceptance of Black alternative music & its creators.
We value music—and the people who create it. They have worth to us. For too long, Black musicians have been mined for their gifts and denied their economic rewards for mastering art forms, creating genres, countering oppression, voicing their humanity, uplifting society, and shaping and re-shaping culture. The Black Rock Coalition exists to hold people accountable for that alienation of opportunity. We will not support cultural amnesia or musical gentrification. We will create opportunities of our own. We will stand—as we have for over 35 years—for the complete creative freedom of artists of color. We will cheer them on today. We'll remember them tomorrow.
It’s why every resource we have—every dollar, every hour, every programmatic effort—goes toward giving outsider Black musicians the support they need to assert their right to be heard and create the works that move culture forward. We are volunteers with skin in the game. We do it for the love of our people and their contributions. We do it for everyone who’s ever had arbitrary limits placed against them.
The BRC is community.
The BRC is cultural exchange across genre, gender, race, class, and ability.
The BRC is a network of some of the best and brightest in Black musicianship.
The BRC is historical correction.
The BRC is visibility for disregarded voices.
The BRC is a grass-roots, volunteer-run, member-driven, non-profit, arts support organization.
The BRC is born of social activism.
The BRC has history.
The BRC has been musically outspoken since 1985.

My DH's boss is leaving for a new job in Maryland. I asked if he wanted a card for her and he did; well, it turns out she is a quilter, so of course I had the perfect set--PTI's Quilter's Sampler and QS Additions! I used my new SU color coach to decide on a color combo. I went to Real Red and came up with Bashful Blue and Crumb Cake, their version of Kraft. Since I only have a small amount of CC, I decided to go with Gina K's heavy base weight Luxury Kraft. It was already out, because I'd made another card with it, which I will post in a couple of days. I used the Textured BB, some gingham DP trimmed with the SU scalloped border punch, and PTI's white for the image. Layer is RR, cut with Nesties. I used markers and blender pens to color the quilt blocks, and I paper pieced the bottom left square. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you may be able to tell. I added some retired SU buttons with DMC floss to match the BB. I stamped the sentiment and the scissors, needle and thread on the inside. Brad liked it and I hope his boss will too. Thanks for stopping by!

Remote Working and Its Impact on Upper Extremities
Aim: The current investigation was to examine the intensity of pain in upper limbs experienced by the remote workers. Methods: A questionnaire was developed which includes demographic profile sheet, work profile sheet and upper extremity functional index. These tools were used to gather information from the respondents. Google forms links of the questionnaire were mailed to 500 respondents and of which 198 people have responded. This paper focused on the intensity of pain due to prolonged sitting, working from home without any proper workplace. Result: The pain was common among all the ages of respondents but it was little more in the male and also the pain is present in all the professions. Conclusion: The recent pandemic has put more stress on people regarding work from home, online working while sitting, a little of walking. It has impacted peopleâ€™s physical well-being by developing different type of pain in the body.
