Cycladic figurines have a mythical aura. Their gleaming abstract forms speak of timeless beauty. But what actually are they? Why do they look like a Brancusi sculpture (or why do Brancusi sculptures look like them)?
…people thought the marble carvings from the Cyclades were ugly and vulgar. But not today. The abstract forms of the Cycladic figurines became fashionable and they have influenced many artists in the 20th century. They even continue to inspire contemporary artists today.
This came about at the end of the 19th century when artists began to delve into museums and ethnological collections. They were looking for inspiration from “primitive” civilizations so that they could return to the idea of essence and the supposed origins of creative possibilities.
Artworks became symbols or signs for what they represent. People began thinking that the Cycladic figurines were a universal reference to humanity. For the eyes of someone today, used to the idea of abstraction, it is no wonder that these artists were attracted to the forms of the Cycladic figurines. At the time, however, it was quite a turn of events for the ancient artifacts. The Western art world, which had previously been fixated on representational art, turned its gaze toward them. Consequently, they were elevated from their status as artifacts to artwork.
Generally, we might say that Cycladic figurines come from a society that existed about five thousand years ago. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. What we might recognize as a “Cycladic figurine” could come from quite a wide range of places and times, which scholars have divided into periods.
Firstly, there is the Early Cycladic (EC, 3200-2000 BCE, corresponding with the “Early Bronze Age”). Then, scholars distinguish three periods on the basis of things like settlements, techniques, and grave goods (aka the stuff we have): Early Cycladic I (EC I, 3200-2800 BCE), Early Cycladic II (EC II, 2800-2300 BCE) and Early Cycladic III (EC III, 23000-2000 BCE). Do bear in mind that these dates are pretty murky and the boundaries between our artificially imposed period are not discrete. Figurines are also found in periods on either side of the Early Cycladic: the Late Neolithic and the Middle Cycladic.
The Cyclades are a group of about thirty small Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. They sit between the mainland and Crete, the biggest Cycladic island.
Cycladic figurines, unsurprisingly, originate from this part of the world. What’s a little more complicated is that the society that produced them was not one homogenous group of people. The Cyclades are extremely tiny and have very limited resources. Consequently, each island community would have been small. There is evidence that there was travel by boat all around the Cyclades: moving resources, ideas, and people between each community.
Labeled groups of figurines will have existed at a particular time in a particular place. You won’t find all the figurines all over the place at all periods, which does make sense if you consider that the Cycladic period is a period of about 1200 years!
You can isolate types of figurines quite specifically to time spans and places. Some, like “violin types” (see a few paragraphs below) or the early “Plastiras” types, which have long necks are quite distinct in their form.
To be very generalist, at first (in the final Neolithic) we have quite plump figures (like the one below) and then increasingly the figures become more and more naturalistic.
Around the beginning of EC II (roughly 2800–2300 BCE) figurines that are now labeled “canonical” were being used. They have quite constant features, such as folded arms, flexed knees, tilted heads, and slanting feet. The “Kapsala” variety (see below) comes from a cemetery on Amorgos and is some of the earliest examples of what we now know as the canonical type.
The “Spedos” variety is the most prolific type of canonical figurine and has the most longevity. Most of the canonical figurines seem to be nude female figures, which researchers sometimes interpret as representations of the fertility of Chthonic goddesses.
Sometimes you’ll see figurines labeled with things like “Keros-Syros culture,” which is actually synonymous with “Early Cycladic II.” The latter label (EC II) is possibly clearer because not all figurines labeled “Keros-Syros culture” come from the islands Keros or Syros – such as this figurine, which was actually found on Amorgos.
This FAF figurine, which lives at the British Museum currently leads us to demystify phrases like “FAF type.” The above is a folded arm figurine, which abbreviates to FAF, which is a lesson in not being intimidated by scholarly terms because more often than not they are very simple! We’ve labeled what we see without imposing an interpretation. Are they cuddling a pregnant tummy or perhaps having tummy pains? What does the gesture mean?
“Violin types,” for example, have a weird shape that we can’t explain and so we’ve just named it after the object it brings to mind. Intriguingly, violin-type figurines are the most common type of representation of the human body in the Early Cycladic I period.
The Parian Marble FAF figurine is minimal and anthropomorphic (as is the Violin-shape figurine above). Our FAF from Amorgos is also heavy, so probably not practical to carry around, but it also can’t stand up by itself. This may not have been that ridiculous because it’s possible that this figurine was not intended for the living. On Amorgos, there are lots of cemeteries and many of them contain figurines.
We know this thanks to Greville-Chester. He was a vicar from the late 19th century who liked to travel around Egypt and the Cyclades collecting things, and, fortunately, recording their find-spots.
Finally, there is also the lack of legs, and, in fact, deliberately broken legs. This is not uncommon. On an island called Keros (where there are no settlements) there are two major deposits of figurines, known as the “Keros Hoard”. What’s really interesting is that the around 600 figurines are all in fragments and their breakage was deliberate. Was this a figurine dumping ground or (more tantalizingly) some kind of ritual activity?
Simple answer: we don’t know. As alluded to above, we don’t have very much contextual evidence from the Early Cycladic (3200-2000 BCE). Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty to get archeologists extremely excited about (tombs and pots for example), just not enough for a crystal clear understanding of day-to-day life for a person in those times or an exploration of religious beliefs.
Our primary sources are cemeteries and some bits of settlements. There is also not the same amount of evidence for all periods, for example, there are no settlement remains from Early Cycladic I (3200-2800 BCE) but lots of cemeteries and the reverse for Early Cycladic II (2800-2300 BCE).
Now, the astute reader will have noticed that this must mean the Cycladic figurines often come from graves (buried with people of all ages and gender). Which means, they were buried by people for other people. This also means it’s a bit weird to treat them solely like a piece of Giacometti sculpture.
They could be apotropaic, substitutes for sacrifices, companies for the dead, symbols of social status, cult items, or votive offerings… Interpretations are endless. Although we find them as grave objects, who knows how they were used in life?
Just because they were found in a grave doesn’t mean they were made for the grave. It’s still likely that these figurines were part of life. Exactly what part is, sadly, unclear. A word that might get associated with them is “ritual” – but, if we’re honest, that word is quite opaque and doesn’t really get us any closer.
The figurines are very tactile (think about the shape of an Oscar) and most of them can’t stand up on their own. It is very probable that they were personal objects of some kind. They do range in size though, from teeny tiny to ginormous; but whose to say that the different sizes don’t signify different purposes?
The figurine above is notable because it is 71.3 cm tall and would have been longer originally because it is broken at the knees. The breakage, for whatever reason, was embraced. With the ends of her legs being smoothed and rudimentary feet carved at the stumps. This kind of love and care is found in other broken figurines and suggests their symbolic, sentimental, and/or material value in the lives of the Cycladic people.
Our tall Female figurine of the Spedos variety seems to be gazing upwards, which is a posture not uncommon among Cycladic figurines. In fact, there is a great variety of poses and some really fun examples too. We have compositions of figurines playing instruments and even seated in groups. Unlike the generic figurines, these sculptures convey a sense of time and movement.
The “cupbearer,” for example, is a rare type of seated figurine. Scholars aren’t sure precisely why or what the sculptor is trying to show – a libation to some gods. Personally, I love the cup-bearer because I think it looks like someone having their morning coffee and people-watching in the sun.
Although gender is not a concern of the sculpture scholars tend to call this a male purely because it is a human in action. Similarly, we tend to think of Cycladic figurines as female based on schematic indications of female biological attributes. Such as those featured on the figurine below:
It has incisions indicating the arms, the pubic triangle, and the joints but an almost total lack of modeled features, such as breasts. It seems to have a swollen abdomen, which might imply pregnancy. Confusingly, many of the features we might regard as female (swollen belly, breasts, abdominal creases) can be found on figurines interpreted as male. This confusing (for us) mix of features is the norm, not the exception.
The Marble seated harp player (above) was included in The Met Museum’s “masterpieces” volumes in both 1993 and 2006 next to the likes of Modigliani.
Now, considering this is an object from an archeological site of unknown origin, that is quite a remarkable achievement. The fame and fortune do, however, come with some negative consequences.
Once the figurines transitioned from artifact to art they began moving all over the place. Essentially, once the art market started valuing them so highly their object status and context got pretty much totally lost. Sadly, we now only know the specific contexts for about 40% of the figurines, which means we’ve lost the corner pieces to our puzzle of working out their meanings.
In the 1980s there was even a scandal when someone did a study attributing “masters” to specific figurines; neither is this likely valid nor does it increase our understanding of the objects. It was a ploy designed to add monetary value. As in, looking at a “style” of the ancient figurines and deciding that a particular “artist” made it. Our figurine below, for example, is attributed to the “Bastis master,” whose “stylization of the human body that is elegant almost to the point of mannerism” – according to the MET allegedly). It goes without saying the “value” of such figurines tripled.
The number of forgeries also soared when the figurines became art. In part, this is due to the aniconic nature of our figurines. With very basic marble training almost anyone can fool the market. So long as you use a plausible Aegean marble, there is no way of checking the authenticity, especially since provenance has flown out the window when it comes to Cycladic figurines.
Interestingly, the Cycladic museum in Athens will buy Cycladic Figurines from the art market, calling it “rescuing” – with a view that the Cycladic figurines should stay in Greece (read Athens, not the Cycladic islands). An expensive business.
There is also the upside: the fame and glitter of the art world bring attention (and money) to these objects from a past society.

WATCH THE END OF SEE SEE 2 EXPLANATIONS ON APPLE TV +! PARIS, EDO WHO IS DEAD? BABA TO WITHDRAW? SPOILERS!
See is available on Apple TV +! If you want to know the explanation for the end of Season 2, read on! Season 2 of See ends with a concluding finale, with plenty of drama, action, and combat. The fighting has been the best part of the entire series, and it’s a shame that See hasn’t leaned more heavily on this bloodlust as the episodes progress.
The ending of Season 2 of See nicely wraps up the Edo Voss chapter in this battle, while also setting the stage for Jerlamarel’s son to start using explosives and In Season 3, Pennsa was attempting to usurp Pennsa in this manner. Read on to learn when Season 3 will be published.
Although the construction of the world is still shaky and the series has big problems with logic, it is still a fun and enjoyable adventure. If you have any questions regarding the end of Season 2 of See, we’ve got it covered!
EXPLANATION OF THE END OF SEE SEASON 2!
The Payans and their Hidden Tribe allies defeat the Trivantians in the Battle of Greenhill Gap. The Trivantians had a distinct edge before the tribes arrived, but the tribes add some balance to the equation between the warring sides.
Tamacti Jun’s decision to choose Greenhill Gap as the battleground turns out to be an excellent one. The Pagans and their allies use narrow passages to lure their enemies into positions where others await them with spears, swords, and other weapons.
Slowly but surely, the Payans and their allies are gaining the advantage. The decisive moment of the battle comes when Wren and several Trivantian soldiers are drawn to a frozen lake covered in snow. The Peasants break the ice, and all the Trivantians trapped there drown in the lake below, except for Wren.
Edo calls out to his brother by blowing the same whistle Baba handed him when they were small, realizing the war is lost. Baba doesn’t intend to fight his brother, but Edo knows his life is over anyway. Following this defeat, the Council of Trivantia will have him executed as soon as he enters the city. Edo dies in Baba’s arms after the brothers fight.
We also reunite with Jerlamarel’s son, who spent the entire season 2 of See relaxing with Edo’s mentor, and who developed some sort of explosive. In the last demonstration, the bombs are a success. It looks like we have another one of the villains here for next season.
In an epilogue, Sibeth cries out her pain in the night. Paris visits him, given all his experience as a midwife. Sibeth plays the sympathy card by telling herself that she is estranged from her child, which is an understandable worry, but when she leans over Paris, she slits his throat with a hidden blade.
As she bleeds herself, Sibeth explains that she will kill the child before she sees it taken and that she will kill anyone who tries to take it. Quietly, she sings “Rock-A-Bye” to close Season 2 of See!
THE DEPARTURE OF BABA?
Baba was physically and mentally destroyed by the Trivantians’ conflict. But he put up with it all for the sake of his children. He even killed Edo, despite swearing not to. And now he’s through fighting and fighting the war. Unfortunately, the struggle against those who are adept at killing others will never end.
Since Edo killed his father, Oloman, Jerlamarel’s oldest son, has worked with the Trivantians. It is revealed at the end of Season 2 of See that he has produced a chemical explosive that is most likely a version of gunpowder. The Trivantians can do a lot of damage with this explosion, including Payan. And when that happens, Baba will almost certainly have to return to save his family.

Santa Cruz mosaic artist Christine Evans was profoundly affected when Donald Trump won the presidential election.
"There’s so much divisiveness and serious concerns that people have, I thought I would like to do a community piece that makes it possible for people to come together and create something that they care about together," Evans says.
So for the past four months, Evans and fellow mosaic artist Julie Norton have organized monthly mosaic tree-making sessions, where anybody is welcome to design and put together a leaf.
Evans created a template for the tree. Individuals who attend the workshops get to create their own leaf designs. Some people have made political symbols like a #BlackLivesMatter fist or a planet symbolizing environmental values. Evans and Norton encourage people to talk while they make their leaves, and especially want to inspire discussions around the meaning of what they're creating.
One eight year-old artist made a leaf he calls "Escaping the Wall," referring to the wall on the Mexican border President Trump is keen to build. Another mosaic-maker who voted for Trump made a leaf to express the importance of love and connection with her family.
Two cupped hands made of tiles that reflect the diversity of skin color will go at the top of the trunk. Built of tiles that reflect the diversity of hair color, the trunk will feature prominently in the finished work, Evans says.
"I want to create a space where we can come together with respect for one another," Evans says. "And maybe if there are differences of opinion, we can influence each other. Everyone has been very willing to share."
Evans anticipates the end product will be roughly 10 feet across and six feet high and will be finished sometime before the end of the year. There is no permanent display location established yet, though Evans hopes the artwork will go on show somewhere in Santa Cruz County. "I’d love it to be on or in a public building that isn’t going to be removed anytime soon," she says.
The next scheduled mosaic making event is on Sunday, Apr. 23. More info here.

Dr. Jessica Beard is a trauma surgeon at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, the hospital that receives and treats the largest number of patients injured by firearms in the entire state of Pennsylvania.
“When I first came to Philadelphia, I went to the news to try and understand some specific things about the patients I might not get to meet before they pass away before I get to meet them, but also the circumstances of the why (they were injured by firearms),” she says. “Instead of deep contextual reporting, what I found largely in media reporting about firearm violence is what I later learned are these very episodic crime reports, short narratives with law enforcement narrators that are very short on context — ‘A 25-year-old man was shot on the corner of Broad and Tioga. He was transported to Temple University Hospital where he’s in critical condition. The police have no motives and no arrests.’ I thought, wow, if that’s what the public is understanding about gun violence and this part of the human toll, the root causes of which are related to deeply entrenched structural and social determinants of health and racism, frankly, they really are not getting a complete sense of what gun violence is about.”
Beard doesn’t have a background in journalism, but she does have research experience through her training in public health; dealing daily with people injured by firearms inspired her to wonder how that “episodic crime report” approach to these incidents could be done in a way that provides more context, centering the people whose lives are impacted by this violent act and downplay the role of law enforcement officers as the sole source of information.
She, in partnership with Jim MacMillan, director of the Philadelphia Center for Gun Violence Reporting, developed a study to learn how reports of people injured by firearms see coverage of their incident, along with the way gun violence in general is reported. In all, 26 people were interviewed for a new report, “‘Like I’m a nobody’: Firearm-injured peoples’ perspectives on news media reporting about firearm violence.” Beard is now the director of research at the center.
“The way we interacted with study participants was going to the trauma clinic, inviting them to participate,” Beard says. “We interviewed people within several months of their injuries. We asked them questions about reporting on their injuries and gun violence in their injuries. It was qualitative research, a lot like journalism. There was some rigor to it in terms of how you analyze it and look for themes.”
The results were an indication of a “preponderance of harm” in the way the media reports incidents of firearm violence, causing victims to feel “dehumanized,” in some cases reporting they were “reliving trauma when viewing reports or the news in general. There was also a lot of distress related to inaccuracies — the number of gunshot wounds, if that’s inaccurate to the perspective of the injured person, that can cause a lot of problems,” she says. “One person said the report described him as riddled with bullets. He said that meant to people listening that he was somehow guilty or targeted. He was inside his house sleeping when he was shot.”
Participants also noted how they felt their safety was further threatened in reports that included the name of the hospital where they were treated, while some said being included in a news report about a shooting without any context to what happened leading up to the event resulted in calls from family members asking the victim what they were doing at the time to put them in a position to be shot.
Another problem is the lack of additional sources, relying only on the police officers speaking during a press conference or in a prepared statement.
“There’s no way a law enforcement source about a firearm injured person is a neutral stance,” Beard says. “The heavy reliance on law enforcement to tell these narratives is really problematic. Their reports are inaccurate. We’ve seen that with the most recent, very horrific mass shooting we had here in Philadelphia. One of the victims was reported as being shot in the mass shooting but he was shot days before by the same shooter in the same location.”
To help reporters do their jobs in a more mindful way, and with better sourcing, Beard and the Philadelphia Center for Gun Violence Reporting are working to pair reporters with people who have lived experience with firearm violence. Beard worked with one of her patients and his mother to create a documentary of her patient’s shooting from the perspective of his mother. Making that kind of narrative available can help journalists think differently and more deeply about how they report on firearm related violence and injuries.
The center also is working on building a curriculum to reframe the way gun violence is reported on and described, as preventable instead of inevitable or just another fact of life.

FAQs about crayfish
The shell of the crayfish is not edible. You can eat the meat from the tail, front claws, and other claws. There is disagreement about whether you can eat other body parts. Some people like to suck the yellow substance from the head, which is known as crayfish butter. In some cultures, the liver, which has a greenish color, is also considered a delicacy. However, many people prefer to avoid these parts of the crayfish when eating them.
One of the most popular ways to serve crayfish is with butter. After you've boiled or steamed the crayfish, stop the cooking process and cool the meat by placing them in a bowl of ice. Ice is better to use than cold water since water can get into the crayfish and saturate the meat. While the meat cools, heat some butter and season it with anything you like, such as salt and pepper, lemon juice, or garlic. Finally, place the crayfish on a plate and coat them with seasoned butter.
Crayfish meat can also be used in other recipes, such as soups and risottos. To do this, you'll need to remove the tail and claw meat from a whole crayfish or purchase crayfish meat that has already been prepared for cooking.
Start by gently pulling and twisting the tail to separate it from the head. If you want to, suck on the head to eat the crayfish butter. Apply pressure on the bottom side of the tail on each side to remove the skeleton. Once the skeleton cracks, you can carefully twist and pull out the tail meat to enjoy. Finally, pull down and twist the claws to gain access to the meat inside.

Ans : India
(d) Reforms in were introduced in 1978. (China/Pakistan)
Ans : China
B. SHORT & LONG TYPE QUESTION AND ANSWER:
1. Why are regional and economic groupings formed?
Ans : With the unfolding of the globalisation process, developing countries are keen to understand the developmental processes pursed by their neighbours as they face competition from developed nations as also amongst themselves. So, every nations have been primarily trying to adopt various means which will strengthen their own domestic economies. To this effect, they are forming regional and global economic groupings such as the SAARS, G-8, G-20, BRIC etc.
2. What are the various means by which countries are trying to strengthen their own domestic economies?
Ans : (a) Formation of regional and economic groupings
(b) Common economic activities.
(c) Liberal economic restructuring.
(d) Economic transformation due to globalisation
(e) Human Resource Development
3. What similar developmental strategies have India and Pakistan followed for their respective developmental paths?
Ans : Pakistan also follows the mixed economy model with co-existence of public and private sectors like India.
The introduction of ‘Green Revolution’ led the mechanisation and increase in public investment in infrastructure in selected areas.
In India, in the 1970’s nationalisation of capital goods industries took place. Pakistan then shifted its policy orientation in the lake 1970s and 1980s.
4. Explain the ‘Great Leap Forward’ campaign of China as initiated in 1958.
Ans : The Great Leap Forward (GLF) Campaign was initiated to adopt industrialisation at large scale. In it, people were encouraged to set up industries in their backwards.
5. China’s rapid industrial growth can be traced back to its reforms in 1978. Do you agree? Elucidate.
Ans : Yes, I agree. In the initial phase reforms were made in agriculture, foreign trade and investment sectors. In the second phase reforms were introduced in the industrial sector. In addition, the dual pricing policy was adopted in China. In it different price was fixed for inputs and outputs. Therefore it can be said, that China’s rapid industrial growth is all due to its reforms introduced in 1978.
6. Describe the path of developmental initiatives taken by Pakistan for its economic development.
Ans : Pakistan changed it policy in the end of decade 1970 & 1980. It promoted privatisation and denationalisation for economic development. Financial aid was given to Pakistan by Western countries and non-residents of Pakistan remitted the wealth to their country. As a result investment was promoted in the country and development policies got the momentum.
7. What is the important implication of the ‘one child norm’ in China?
Ans : Important implication are –
(a) Decline in sex ratio. The proportion of females decreased in comparison to males.
(b) The proportion of old age persons increased.
8. Mention the salient demographic indicators of China, Pakistan and India.
Ans : Demographic indicators in 2005
|Population ( in crores )||110.5||16.2||130.8|
|Sex Ratio (2001)||933||922||937|

|Life Expectancy (in years)||63||63||72|
9. Compare and contrast the development of India, China and Pakistan with respect to some salient human development indicators.
Ans : On the basis of human development indicators the rank of China is 81. It is 128 in case of India and 136 in case of Pakistan.
Adult literacy is highest, i.e. 91% in China in the world. Due to these reasons the economic growth rate of China is also higher (about 10%) in comparison to India (9%) and Pakistan (8.7%).
10. Mention the various indicators of human development.
Ans : The various indicators of human development are :
(a) Human Development Index (Value)

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a very common — and yes, contagious — type of bacteria that infects the digestive tract. Typically, the bacteria enter the mouth and work their way into the gastrointestinal tract.
The germs may live in saliva. This means someone with the infection can pass it on through kissing or oral sex. You can also become infected through fecal contamination of food or drinking water.
Although H. pylori infections are typically harmless, they’re responsible for most ulcers in the stomach and digestive tract. These ulcers can lead to more serious complications, such as stomach cancer.
Read on to learn how you can get H. pylori, what the symptoms are, and how it’s treated.
H. pylori is present inabout
This means that the infection can spread through oral sex (in addition to kissing) and may also be a likely cause of urethritis. Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra that’s treated with antibiotics.
Research has also found that H. pylori may lead to a range of serious health problems, including certain types of
As common as H. pylori is, evidence suggests its
A 2018 report in the journal
H. Pylori is highly contagious
H. pylori infection can be spread through kissing, oral sex, and contaminated food or drinking water.
If you’re taking antibiotics to treat H. pylori, you’re still contagious until tests show the infection is gone.
Living in highly crowded conditions or in areas without a consistently clean water supply raises the risk of H. pylori infection. Unsanitary conditions at home or in the community can also increase the chances of developing this infection.
These conditions tend to be more common in developing countries, which is why H. pylori remains a greater threat in these regions than in areas with more reliable sources of clean drinking water.
In addition, living with family members or others who have the H. pylori infection can make you more vulnerable. People taking antibiotics to treat an H. pylori infection are still contagious until tests confirm the infection is gone.
It’s not always clear how H. pylori is passed from one person to another, but good personal hygiene is one way to help reduce your odds of infection. Thorough and frequent handwashing is important, especially after using the bathroom and before eating or cooking.
You should also make sure your food is clean and has been prepared and cooked properly. Likewise, make sure your drinking water is safe and clean.
Be especially mindful of these preventive measures if you spend time in a part of the world where public sanitation is a challenge, and clean sources of drinking water and food are scarce.
If you live with someone with H. pylori, help make sure they complete their treatment program as prescribed by their physician. A person is still contagious until they finish their course of antibiotics and tests show the infection is gone.
Most people with H. pylori don’t have symptoms. It’s not clear why the infection causes problems for some individuals and not for others. If you have the infection, but show no signs of it, you may simply have a greater resistance to the bacteria’s impact on your system.
When symptoms are present, they can include:
- abdominal pain that’s more acute when you’re hungry
- a stomach ache or burning sensation in your gut
- reduced appetite
- unexplained weight loss
If the abdominal distress doesn’t subside or if it’s accompanied by black, tarry stools, or black vomit that looks like coffee grounds, you should see a doctor immediately. Trouble swallowing is also a sign of a worsening H. pylori infection.
If you have H. pylori but no symptoms, you’re still contagious
If you have no obvious systems, but still have the H. pylori infection, you can pass it along to someone else.
A person undergoing treatment is still contagious until they finish their course of antibiotics and tests show the infection is gone.
H. pylori infections are diagnosed with a combination of a physical exam and certain lab tests. The lab tests look for the actual bacteria or signs that your body is fighting the infection.
These tests include:
- Blood test. This test checks for antibodies that indicate the presence of an H. pylori bacterial infection.
- Stool test. A small stool sample is sent to a lab and examined for any abnormal bacteria.
- Breath test. This test is given after you swallow a urea pill containing carbon molecules. If carbon molecules are found, it indicates that your body is making an enzyme called urease. This enzyme makes stomach acid less acidic and weakens the stomach’s mucous lining.
Treating an H. pylori infection usually requires antibiotics to kill the harmful bacteria. In most cases, a combination of two different antibiotics is prescribed.
You’ll be retested after you finish your course of antibiotics to make sure the infection is gone. Some infections require an additional round of antibiotics.
Other medications may also be helpful. Among them are:
- proton pump inhibitors (Prilosec, Nexium, Prevacid) to limit the amount of acid produced in the stomach
- histamine (H2) blockers (Tagament), which also reduce levels of stomach acid
- bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) to coat the stomach and protect it from too much stomach acid
The nature of your treatment plan will depend on several key factors, most importantly the severity of your infection and symptoms. Other considerations include:
- your age
- your overall health and medical history
- your tolerance or resistance to certain medications
- the prognosis of your infection
Once treatment has started, you should expect to see your doctor for a follow-up appointment in about four weeks. You’ll be tested again to see how well you’re responding to treatment and if the infection has cleared up.
If you still have the infection, an additional round of antibiotics may be necessary. Your doctor may consider a different combination of antibiotics and other medications to get the desired results.
Complications of an H. pylori infectioncan include ulcers, as well as stomach cancer and esophageal cancer. If no complications arise, your prognosis is usually good following proper treatment.
Reinfection risks are low — about 1 to 2 percent for men, and 5 to 8 percent for women and children. You won’t be contagious if tests show the infection is gone.
H. pylori is a common bacterium that may cause you no symptoms or complications. An H. pylori infection can be serious, but it’s treatable.
The key is to respond quickly to signs of an infection. Be sure to tell your doctor if you think you’ve been exposed to the bacteria.
For example, if you might have been exposed during recent travels or by spending time with someone who’s infected. This may prompt your doctor to test for H. pylori if they haven’t yet considered it.
Also keep in mind that for antibiotics to be effective, they need to be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Continue to take the full course of antibiotics, even if your symptoms go away. An infection can linger despite the fact that you may be feeling better.
Also, be sure to follow up with your doctor after completing your antibiotic treatment to confirm that the H. pylori infection is gone.

Jayapura, Jubi – The head of Community and Social Welfare of Secretariat Papua, Naftali Yogi, urged local governments to create regulations to protect Papuan women traders in improving their social economic conditions.
He said people’s welfare indicators are education, health, infrastructure and economic empowerment.
Especially populist economic empowerment for Papuan women traders, Governor Lukas Enembe already made the policy by building a market and providing them the opportunity to do business.
“It will become a model. The regents also need to follow up on the governor’s policy, because the approach is the development of a cultural approach, “he stated last week.
According to him, most of them work hard to fulfill the needs including education.
“There should be a concern of the government. The governor has started, the regents also have to do the same. Moreover, now 80 percent of special autonomy funds in the regencies / city. Only 20 percent in the province. All the funds have been distributed to regencies/city,” he said.
He said, there needs to be a serious concern of the government to empower those women, This is important, especially to decision-makers in the regencies/city.
The chairman of the MRP, Timothy Murib said, there needs to be a new regulation for the improvement of people’s economy particularly for Papuan women. Regulation over the years, did not help much populist economic development in regencies / city.
“Regulation that is now to be changed. It is expected there are activities that favor the economic development of indigenous Papuans to be better, as economic actors in their respective areas,” said Murib.
He hoped that all commodities in Papua are developed and become a serious concern in the future. yet of course must be supported by regulation of populist economic development of native Papuans. (Arjuna Pademme)

Frustrated by sense of crisis, Trump considers recruiting campaign loyalists for White House overhaul
Former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is among those being considered to help contain fallout from Russia investigation
US President Donald Trump is considering overhauling his White House staff and bringing back top campaign strategists, frustrated by what he views as his team’s inability to contain the burgeoning crisis involving alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Expanding teams of lawyers and experienced public relations hands are being recruited to deal with the drumbeat of new revelations about Moscow’s interference and possible improper dealings with the Trump campaign and associates. The disclosures dogged the president during his first trip abroad since taking office and threaten to overwhelm and stall the agenda for his young administration.
A rally planned Thursday in Iowa was postponed due to “an unforeseen change” in Trump’s schedule.
After maintaining a limited social media presence throughout his trip, Trump on Sunday unleashed a furious flurry of tweets, lashing out at what he called the “fake news” media. He focused heavily on leaks — both those coming out of the White House and an intelligence leak blamed on Americans about this week’s deadly bombing at a concert in England.
On the bombing investigation Trump said: “British Prime Minister May was very angry that the info the U.K. gave to U.S. about Manchester was leaked. Gave me full details!”
Trump also said that “many of the leaks coming out of the White House are fabricated lies.” He added that it is “very possible that those sources don’t exist but are made up by fake news writers.”
Even when authorised, however, top officials in the Trump White House frequently request anonymity to brief reporters “on background”, meaning their names will not be disclosed.
The latest reports in the Russia matter said Kushner spoke with Russia’s ambassador to the United States about setting up secret communications with Moscow during the presidential transition.
“They need to quarantine this stuff and put the investigations in a separate communications operation,” said Jack Quinn, who served as White House counsel for President Bill Clinton.
During the Monica Lewinsky investigation, the Clinton White House brought on a dedicated group of lawyers and a created a separate media operation to handle investigation-related inquiries so they didn’t completely subsume the president’s agenda.
Trump, according to one person familiar with his thinking, believed he was facing more of a communications problem than a legal one, despite the intensifying inquiries. The person, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss private conversations.
As he mulls changes, Trump has entertained bringing his former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, and former deputy campaign manager, David Bossie, formally back into the fold. Both Lewandowski and Bossie discussed the prospect with the president before his trip, according to one person told of the conversations.
Lewandowski’s return would be a particularly notable development, given the fact that he was fired by Trump after clashing with staff and Trump’s adult children. Nonetheless, Lewandowski has the trust of the president — an advantage that many of Trump’s aides lack.
Trump called his maiden trip abroad a “home run,” but while the White House had hoped it would serve as a reset, attention on the Russia probe has only increased.
Recently appointed special counsel Robert Mueller, a former FBI director, is starting off an investigation with a broad mandate that will allow him to probe both the possible Russian influence and whether Trump attempted to obstruct the investigation by firing FBI Director James Comey.
Comey is expected to testify before Congress after Memorial Day about memos he kept on conversations with the president that pertained to the investigation.
The White House also grappled with reports that Kushner proposed setting up a secret back channel between the Kremlin and the Trump transition team during a December meeting. Kushner spoke with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the US, about creating the secret line to make it easier to hold sensitive discussions about the conflict in Syria, according to a person familiar with the discussions.
The back channel was meant to connect Michael Flynn, who later became Trump’s first national security adviser, with Russian military leaders, said the person, who wasn’t authorised to publicly discuss private policy considerations and spoke on condition of anonymity. Flynn was fired in February, officials saying he misled Vice-President Mike Pence about whether he and the ambassador had discussed US sanctions against Russia in a phone call.
Before departing Italy for the US, White House officials refused to address the reports about Kushner. But they did not dismiss the idea that the administration would go outside normal US government and diplomatic channels for communications with other countries.


To safely complete the North Fork Nooksack Line Lowering in dry conditions, Barnard implemented a massive dewatering system of 45-ft.-deep wells that pumped 30,000+ gallons per minute.
When the migration of the North Fork Nooksack River in Western Washington put a 30-in.-dia. natural gas pipeline at risk of exposure, Northwest Pipeline, Inc. contracted with Barnard to lower the endangered span. The pipeline crossed the river at a depth of 24 ft. below the ground surface and transitioned to a depth of 4 ft. just 200 ft. from the riverbank. Barnard lowered approximately 1,700 ft. of pipeline to the river crossing elevation and also performed removal, slurry filling, and nitrogen inerting along a previously retired 26.-in.-dia. pipeline. Construction occurred in sensitive riparian habitat that required waterbody and wetland restoration.

Conflict of Interest
Federal regulations require the establishment of policies to manage conflicts of interest as they relate to human subjects research. The IRB recognizes that many research projects have the potential for actual or perceived conflicts of interest. The IRB is mandated to protect subjects from financial conflict of interest which may predispose coercive enrollment practices or the possibility of reporting biased or inaccurate data. The intent of the following guidelines is to protect research subjects and their families and to delineate the responsibilities of the researcher.
Guidelines for researchers.
Researchers must include with their application materials all information about a financial relationship with a sponsor. This includes a copy of a grant award, contract, budget and equity interest documentation.
The consent form must include a statement to inform the subject and family that the researcher will benefit financially from the research and from whom they may request additional information, other than from the researcher, about the nature of this benefit.
If the contract, budget or equity interest changes during the research project, the researcher must notify the IRB. This includes the termination of a contract, a supplement to a contract, or an extension.
A researcher's financial relationship can include stipends, compensation for enrolling subjects (finder's fee) or any other monetary or non-monetary benefit such as stock, licenses or patents, equipment, supplies, samples, computers, gifts, contracts or use of space or property. The consent form must disclose that the researcher has some financial relationship or compensation involved in the research project.
Payments to subjects:
Financial disclosure also includes the proposed payment or reimbursement of research subjects. If you propose to provide an incentive for participation or to reimburse subjects for expenses of participation, you must include this information with a budget explication. Payment to research subjects for participation in studies is not considered a benefit, it is a recruitment incentive. The amount and schedule of all payments should be presented to the IRB at the time of initial review. The IRB will review both the amount of payment and the proposed method and timing of disbursement.
Any payment should accrue and be paid as the study progresses and not be contingent upon the subject completing the entire study. While the entire payment should not be contingent upon completion of the entire study, payment of a small portion as an incentive for completion of the study is acceptable, providing that such incentive is not coercive. All information concerning payment to subjects, including the amount and schedule of payment(s) should be set forth in the consent form.
The role of the IRB is to determine if the proposed payments of research subject may be so excessive as to constitute a coercive inducement to the target population. If the IRB believes the payments are coercive, we will request you to consider an alternative.
Questions requiring a written response:
If a researcher will receive some form of compensation or incentive, the following questions will assist researchers in providing full disclosure. Please provide written responses to these questions with your application:
1. Do you or your family have any financial relationship (as described in #4 above) or an agreement (written or verbal) regarding any form of financial compensation which you or your family will receive for your involvement in a research project?
2. If yes, please describe.
3. If you expect to receive any financial or non-monetary benefit, to what extent do you think it affects your objectivity in the consent process with subjects?
4. Describe how you will minimize the potential for coercive enrollment.

This site is part of the course Buddhism in the Himalayas, a class offered the Fall of 2019 at New College of Florida, and taught by Prof. Manuel Lopez. As part of the class, the students had to read the life of a Buddhist figure in the Himalayas (biography, autobiography, hagiography) and use StoryMapJS to map it out.
StoryMapJS is a digital tool created by the Knight Labs Project at Northwestern University and it allows people to tell stories on the web that highlight the locations of a series of events. The goal of the assignment was to use this tool not only to map out the life of an individual, but also to explore it using an interactive form of storytelling (images, videos, maps. We also wanted to use digital tools in order to transform traditional college assignments into a product that other people can see and use. Digital Humanities Librarian Cal Murgu also helped and collaborated in the design of this assignment as part of the Digital Scholarship Studio.

1 Factors Influences Consumer Behaviour
Cultural, social and personal factors are always considered to be the major forces influencing consumers’ buying behaviour (Kotler and Keller, 2006). An understanding of such factors helps businesses at tailoring products that meet consumers’ needs and wants. Among important influences on consumer buying behaviour (culture, subculture, and social class) ‘’culture is the fundamental determinant of a person’s wants and behaviour’’ (Kotler and Keller, 2006, p.174). Given that ‘’all human societies exhibit social stratification’’, distinctive consumer buying behaviour and preferences exist as well among social classes (Kotler and Keller, 2006, p.175). These distinctive buying patterns and preferences among social classes are significantly determined by occupation, income, wealth, education etc. Consumers can shift up and down the social strata but the extent of this mobility depends much on how rigid the social stratification is in a given society (Kotler and Keller, 2006). An individual’s values, perceptions, preferences and behaviours in a direct or indirect way are significantly influenced by reference groups (family, friends, neighbours, and co-workers) to which they belong. Such reference groups expose an individual to new behaviours and lifestyles, and often have an effect on their attitudes, products or brand choices (Kotler and Keller, 2006). Family is considered to be one of the most important consumer buying groups in the society (Tour and Henthorne, 1995). It is thus very important for the marketers to identify the roles and influence of the family members in the purchase of products. Marketers may accurately address their marketing messages, only if they fully understand who of the family members is a leader and has direct influence on the buying decisions. ‘’In countries where parents live with grown up children, their influence can be substantial’’ (Kotler and Keller, 2006, p.177). The buyer’s characteristics...

ABILENE â€” After three straight wins to start the season, the Sweetwater girls basketball team was unable to find the magic at Abilene High on Friday and suffered its first loss of the year, 53-44.
Class 5A Abilene (2-1) built a 10-6 lead after one quarter and increased the lead to seven, 27-20, at halftime. It was 37-28 after three periods of play.
Although the score was relatively close, Sweetwa-ter coach Candice Wyatt said her team was hurt by poor shooting, turnovers and losing two of their players to fouls in the fourth quarter.
Several Nolan County ju-nior high basketball teams began their seasons recent-ly. Here are the scores and other information from the teams who sent in results to the Sweetwater Reporter:
8th grade Red 30
Sweetwater points: Makeilah Foust 24, Morgan Rudel 4, Jaya Atkins 2. Rebounds: Makeilah Foust 11, Morgan Rudel 3, Abby Garcia 2, Victoria Jiminez 2, Marissa Sanchez 2, Karleigh Foust 1. Steals: Morgan Rudel 4, Gabby Fuentes 2, Alaina Andrews 1, Makeilah Foust 1. Halftime: Sweetwater 18, Brown-wood 17. Sweetwater record: 0-1.
Highland came away with a split of its varsity basketball doubleheader at Guthrie on Friday.
Highlandâ€™s girls defeat-ed Guthrie, 38-30, to im-prove to 3-1 this season but the Highland boys lost, 56-33, in their season opener.
Sierra Allen scored 12 points and Kara Hughey 10 for the Lady Hornets, who had to rally in the second half after trailing by a point, 17-16, at inter-mission.
Also scoring for High-land were Jessica McCain with six, Madison Mose-ley with four and Beth Richburg, Lora Stewart and Megan Thompson each with two points against Guthrie.
The Blackwell and Roscoe girls both lost early-season basketball games Friday after facing each other just a few days earlier.
Roscoe lost its game to Cross Plains, 52-22, at Roscoe after being held to five points in the first half. The Plowgirls (1-2) were led in scoring by Natalie Anthony with six points while Carolina Perez and Mirian Solis had five, Sara Kingston three, Stina Tomlin two and Jacinda Morales one.

Let me start out by saying, I receive a ton of books in the mail. Most of them are unsolicited and arrive without a note or a signature inside or any reason to compel me to read it.
But he did two things really well. He sent me a signed copy of his book. It is written specifically to me and you can tell he did his homework.
I love that.
Then he sent me a personal note (handwritten, none-the-less) about why he thought Spin Sucks readers would benefit from knowing about his book.
Score two points for John.
So, of course, I felt compelled to read his book.
Now the review.
The book sucks.
HAHAHAHA! Just kidding, John!
I just wanted to give him a little heart attack because I’ve been teasing him about this review for weeks now.
In all seriousness, the book is very good. For those of you who do a lot of branding work every day and have years of experience, you’re not going to learn a lot. But the stories he tells throughout are entertaining and keep your attention. So you’ll likely come away with three or four really good nuggets you never considered OR things you’d forgotten.
For those of you really active in social media, it won’t be earth shattering in terms of what works and what doesn’t work (video, not selling, having conversations). But you’ll learn how to take what you’re really good at and apply some strong marketing and branding techniques to help either your company or your clients.
He covers a lot of ground, from haters and brand ambassadors to perfecting your website and creating a conversation. I got the most out of the last three chapters of the book.
I don’t mind rules, John, and thought that last chapter was excellent. I also really enjoyed reading the reasoning behind what is killing entrepreneurs (and I agree).
The only thing I wish is that the measurement chapter had more meat to it. It’s the one thing we’re really missing in the bigger marketing, PR, advertising, and branding conversation and I thought that chapter was glossed over.
All-in-all, I definitely think it’s worth a read. It’s very easy to read, especially because he inserts hilarious stories throughout that, literally, make you laugh out loud.
P.S. Make sure you pay particular attention to page 66 when he talks about linking his social networks and what his mother-in-law discovered from his tweets because they were posted on Facebook. Holy. Cow.

By the time the tax man gets done, there might not be much of Prince's estate left to fight over, lawyers in the probate battle over the pop superstar's millions said Tuesday.
Prince — full name Prince Rogers Nelson — is believed not to have left a will when he died April 21 at age 57 of opioid toxicity. That means a Minnesota judge has some hard decisions to make as several relatives and at least one federal prison inmate battle it out over who's his rightful heir.
And as lawyers for the company overseeing the estate pointed out Tuesday, all of it must be sorted out by Jan. 21, when the bill comes due to the IRS and state tax authorities.
Douglas Peterson, an attorney for Bremer Trust, the wealth management firm appointed to manage Prince's estate, told Carver County District Judge Kevin W. Eide that Uncle Sam and the state would be due taxes equivalent to half of the cash value of the estate, which has been estimated by various experts at as much as $300 million.
But if Prince died without that much cash on hand, many of his non-cash assets will have to be sold off to pay the bill, Peterson said.
That could include the 2,000 unreleased songs still in Prince's vault, worldwide rights to his music and image, his cherished guitars and other rare memorabilia, digital streaming revenue and possibly even his Paisley Park home and studio.
And the sooner the better, Peterson said.
"The challenge we face is to spin yarn into gold under time pressure," he told Eide. "The point is this is a dynamic, wide-ranging business, and we must keep on schedule to make the deadline. If we do not, the government will not wait. They will have a fire sale, and that is not in the best interests of anyone."
But Patrick Cousins, a lawyer representing Carlin Williams, who's claimed from his Colorado prison cell that he's Prince's secret son, urged Eide to order Bremer Trust to "hold down and stand down" on any arrangements until the question of Prince's heir or heirs is settled.
That could be as early as June 27, when a full probate hearing is scheduled. In the meantime, Cousins said, "taxes should not drive these business decisions."
Matthew Shea, a lawyer representing Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, agreed with Bremer Trust, however, telling Eide the company has a fiduciary responsibility to go ahead and make critical decisions in the best interests of the estate.
Meanwhile, a lawyer for Prince's half-siblings — Norrine, Sharon and John — split the difference, asking Eide to give all of the would-be heirs five days to review any contracts Bremer Trust wants to sign.
Eide told the lawyers to submit their arguments by noon Wednesday and said he'd issue an order Thursday morning.
In addition to Tyka Nelson, Williams and the half-siblings, there are assorted nieces and nephews and a man named Norman Yates Carthens of Barnwell, South Carolina — who also claims to be Prince's previously unknown son — who've staked claims to the money.
Eide ruled Monday that anyone else who wants to throw a hat in the ring must do so by Friday.

I have both and the Shield is definitely thinner and a little lighter than the SR9c. You give up 3 rounds for the thinner pistol. The Shield with the 8 round mag a little more concealable and comfortable than the SR9c with the finger extension. The SR9c takes a 17 round mag as well as the 10 but it is not nearly as concealable. Both shoot very well and I have had no malfunctions with either. My wife also has the SR9c so they would likely be our shft handguns for their sharing capability.

Whether through bedtime storytelling sessions or big-budget movie adaptations scored by Arcade Fire, children around the world grow up on the work of Where the Wild Things Are author and illustrator Maurice Sendak. In addition to his most famous book, he also illustrated Else Holmelund Minarik’s Little Bear children’s series and even briefly worked with Jim Henson on Sesame Street, but an exhibition at the Morgan Library and Museum in New York focuses on Sendak’s other passions: the opera and ballet.
When he was alive, Sendak called theater his “second career.” In addition to his countless published illustrations, he created stage designs for famous operas like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Leoš Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen, Sergei Prokofiev’s The Love for Three Oranges, and a one-act adaptation of his own Where the Wild Things Are. The storyboards, preparatory sketches, costume studies, watercolors, and dioramas for these sets are on view at the Morgan Library and Museum through October 6, 2019, in the exhibition Drawing the Curtain: Maurice Sendak’s Designs for Opera and Ballet. This week, the museum will host an evening presentation of Sendak’s iconic images, complete with live operatic performances as well.
The event, “Behind the Scenes: Maurice Sendak’s Designs for Opera,” begins at 6:30 pm on Friday, September 27, at the museum. It will feature Christopher Mattaliano, the former general director of the Portland Opera, in conversation about his collaborations with Sendak and the opera director Frank Corsaro. Selections of Sendak’s work will accompany the talk, and live performances of select arias from The Magic Flute by the baritone Patrick McNally and soprano Lindsay Ohse will round out the evening. This is a ticketed event, costing $20 for non-members of the museum, $15 for members. Admission to the Drawing the Curtain exhibition will be included with the price of the ticket. Not a bad Friday night.
When: Friday, September 27, 6:30 pm
Where: The Morgan Library & Museum (225 Madison Avenue, Murray Hill, Manhattan)
Art by Athena LaTocha, Wendy Red Star, Marianne Nicolson, Anita Fields, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith & Neal Ambrose-Smith, and more is on view through January 2022.
Unless you were already familiar with Bey’s documentary work, the horror he refers to might not be recognizable to you.
The intention behind the seemingly bizarre combination was, according to Attie, “to give visual form to the shared American and Brazilian reality of nationalistic divisions that defines our political present.”

A brief, concise, easy-to-read newsletter with news on breakfast trends
Vol. 31 | December 2015
Sunny days, crashing surf, and the easy availability of fresh produce and seafood of every variety create the spirit of West Coast dining. Add in the infuences of Asian and Hispanic populations and you have what is known as California cuisine. Examples found in San Francisco illustrate better-for-you breakfasts with indulgent twists:
Great reasons to go out for breakfast!
Egg-topped dishes seem to be everywhere these days. Side dishes, pastas, pizzas – everything benefits from a crown of eggs.
Salads and eggs have enjoyed a symbiotic relationship forever, but there’s exciting news on that front: recent research shows that cooked whole eggs improve nutrient absorption from a salad’s raw ingredients.
Published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the study was led by Wayne Campbell, a Purdue University professor of nutrition science who focuses on understanding how dietary protein and exercise influence health as adults age. His team found that adding whole eggs to salads made of raw vegetables improves the absorption of carotenoids, fat-soluble antioxidants that help reduce inflammation.
Participants ate mixed-vegetable salads with no eggs; 1½ eggs; and 3 eggs. Absorption of all carotenoids was 3.8X higher when the salad included three eggs versus no eggs. Absorption of lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids contributing to eye health and guarding against age-related macular degeneration, was shown to be 4-5X higher.
Eggs: better for you and taste good too!
In September of 2015 the National Restaurant Association surveyed nearly 1,600 American Culinary Federation chefs to predict 2016 trends in food, cuisines, beverages and culinary themes. The survey asked chefs to rate a list of 221 items to determine which ones would be hot trends in the coming year.
The biggest influences on breakfast trends centered on ethnic flavors. Ethnic condiments and spices like sriracha, harissa and chimichurri were clear winners, having gone from 83rd place in 2014, to 47th in 2015 and landing at #11 in 2016.
Ethnic-inspired breakfasts popped into the top 20 hottest trends in 2011 and have remained there for the past 4 years. African and Middle Eastern flavors were rated as the hottest 2016 flavor trends, putting items like Portland’s Tasty N Sons’ Shakshuka, a baked egg and tomato stew with merguez sausage, cumin and harissa, right on trend. The Breslin in NYC has been ahead of the curve for years by offering its popular Poached Eggs with curried lentils, yogurt & cilantro.
A majority of consumers are more interested in the food they eat than ever before. Diners search for new flavors and ingredients, often trying them for the first time in familiar formats like sandwiches or burgers.
International chains have ready-made forums for cross-pollinating popular culinary preferences from their U.S. to their foreign operations, and vice versa. McDonald’s is one chain that’s adapted well to foreign markets, offering items unlike any found here. The following shows how the chain speaks to local breakfast consumers:

All you had to do was close your eyes and simply listen to Paul Rodgers belt out hit after hit Tuesday evening at Artpark and think you were transformed into 1975. To hear Rodgers sing with the ease in which he did with his powerful soulful voice no one could ever guess his age if they didn’t have an idea. The sold out crowd roared in approval as Rodgers cited them following “Shooting Star” for being the loudest crowd so far to date on the tour.
Over the last ten years or so Bad Company has done only a handful of tours, mostly with another major draw as the headliner or co-headliner. After witnessing this show tonight I really cannot see how this band isn’t headlining all on their own. Joining Rodgers was his partner in crime guitarist Mick Ralphs and drummer Simon Kirke both of whom are founding members. Complimenting them were guitarist Howard Leese who has played with Heart and bassist Todd Ronning who has played with Rodgers solo band.
The band promptly took the stage to “Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy” and made everyone forget about the sweltering heat. A pair of title cuts in “Burnin” Sky” and “Running With The Pack” were up next.
As the band generally does “Gone, Gone, Gone” from Desolation Angels was dedicated to other original member, bassist Boz Burrell who passed away in 2006.
Released in 1982 and culled from Rough Diamonds, “Electricland” oddly enough seems more popular now than when it was originally released. The song seemed to be the centerpiece of the whole live set as Rodgers sat at the piano and banged it out.
The band went through their main set as “Movin On”, the aforementioned “Shooting Star” and “Can’t Get Enough” concluded the main set which lasted sixty minutes.
Returning to the stage with “Bad Company”, it appeared none of the patrons left like some usually do following the ending of the main set. “Rock Steady” closed out the show, or so everyone thought as the Rodgers, Kirke and Ralphs all appeared at the front of the stage. A moving version of “Seagull”, the bands sixth song played from their debut self-titled release featured Rodgers and Ralphs on acoustic guitars. A fitting way to end the show.
I have to go on record right now to say this show will not be topped this season at Artpark. When the season schedule was released, Bad Company was one of those shows you were definitely intrigued by. To have it turn out to be this high calibre of a show notwithstanding the torrid temperatures, no one could have predicted it. The performance was one for the ages. When looking back on this one years from now, most will fondly remember how hot the show was, not the atmospheric conditions.
