A tied game at the half, 24th-ranked Marquette used a late run in the second to pull ahead and take the 74-55 win over the Presbyterian College men’s basketball team Saturday afternoon, in Milwaukee, Wisc. The Blue Hose were led by freshman Adam Flagler with 20 points and junior JC Younger with 12 points, both of whom recorded four three-pointers in the game.
Scoring the Game
The Blue Hose used a strong perimeter game and solid defense to keep the game close with the top 25 team in the first half. PC hit five three-pointers, while holding Marquette to zero in the first 20 minutes, while forcing eight turnovers. Keeping the Golden Eagles in the game was a 12-of-13 effort from the free throw line.
Marquette opened up a 7-3 lead early in the first half, but a Romeo Crouch three-pointer at 14:39 cut the margin to one, 6-7. Tied 15-15 at the 8:02 mark, the Golden Eagles scored five unanswered to jump out to a 20-15 lead, 6:20 on the clock. Two three pointers by Younger and another perimeter basket by Flagler over the next seven minutes, as part of an 11-4 run, put PC ahead 26-24. A late Blue Hose foul put Marquette’s Sam Hauser at the free throw line, however. He converted both to make it a tie ball game, 26-26, at the break.
The Blue Hose outscored Marquette, 17-9, the first seven and a half minutes of the second half, behind four three-pointers, two coming from Flagler, to take a six-point, 43-37 lead with 12:44 to go. The Golden Eagles responded with 12 unanswered, which included three straight three-pointers, to take a six-point lead, 49-43, 9:05 left. A Chris Martin three made it a three-point game again but another two threes by the home team made it 55-46.
After a Davon Bell at 6:41 cut the margin to six, 51-57, the Golden Eagles went on a 9-0 run and built a 15-point, 66-51 lead. Over the next several minutes the Blue Hose were able to cut into the deficit, including 11 off a Flagler three-pointer at 3:28, but each time Marquette had an answer and came away with the 74-55 win.
Players of the Game
Adam Flagler posted is second straight double-digit game, and fourth of the season, with his career-high 20 points. His four three-pointers was also a career-best. Cory Hightower paced the team on the boards with five. JC Younger hit four three-pointers as well to finish second on the team in scoring with 12. Sam Hauser led Marquette with a double-double, with 19 points and 10 rebounds.
Stats of the Game
PC finished the game hitting 31%, compared to 45% for Marquette. The Blue Hose hit 12 three-pointers, marking the fourth game in a row that PC has connected on 10 or more threes in a game. The Golden Eagles ended with nine, all coming in the second half. PC turned the ball over eight times, second lowest of the season, and forced 16 by Marquette. Points off turnovers was 16-8, in favor of PC. Marquette held the rebounding edge, 45-24,
- Adam Flagler scored a career-high 20 points.
- PC has hit at least 10 three-pointers in the last four games, the 12 in the game ranking top 15 in the PC D1 record book.
For the Record
PC moves to 3-2 overall, while Marquette improves to 3-1.

If early celebrity is key to artist financial survival, and reproduction is key to celebrity, why would reproduction continue to have such negative connotations in the contemporary world of fine art? It partly boils down to conventional economics: the law of supply and demand dictates greater quantities yield lower prices, and, in the end lower quality and reputation, the ultimate art-world taboo. There are also psychological layers of fear involved: loss of aura, originality, authenticity, and identity, selling out, and catering to consumer preferences. Many artists cannot abide the notion of their work as a reproducible commodity, equating "going commercial" with sin. French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu links this notion to a kind of magical pre-capitalist accumulation of symbolic capital. Artists motivated by non-pecuniary benefits are more likely to pursue avant-garde work that is detached from market demand, causing a secular rupture between high and low culture. The less reproducible is a work of art, the greater the incentive to find the highest bidder. The inverse of this tendency dominates the market for fine art. The entire industry is organized around capturing the most elite collectors, which requires an illusion of scarcity in the midst of overabundance. In this case, Baudrillard was right: myth creates reality, price creates demand. But bubbles can always burst if the right pin is applied.
The visual arts stand out as the most peculiar sector of the arts and entertainment industry when considering reproduction as key to celebrity and survival. There is an historical "path dependence" to the visual arts' exceptionalism, evoking the quirky tale of how the keyboard came by its inefficient QWERTY configuration in order to prevent typewriter keys from jamming [PLATE 61]. The cultural evolution of the visual arts industry in America is far more complex than that of the keyboard, and assessing impacts on artists requires more than a words-per-minute measure. Its most distinguishing characteristic relative to the other arts can be summed up in a word: "underexposure", that is, the lack of reproduction, publicity, and celebrity compared with other arts sectors and with visual arts in other countries.
There are many more visual artists working in the United States than any other kind of artist (including musicians, actors, directors, authors, dancers, etc.), yet the organizational infrastructure and market for visual arts is miniscule compared with the other arts. The "art world establishment," as generally perceived, is dominated by museums, dealers, and auction houses, the largest of which are non-profit organizations (such as the Metropolitan Museum), privately-held corporations (such as Christies International Plc.), and family-run businesses (think of any Chelsea gallery). The visual arts in their entirety contribute just four percent of the revenues generated by the arts and entertainment industry. Revenues from the three largest visual arts organizations (Sotheby's, the Metropolitan Museum, and MoMA) are less than one percent of the revenues from the three largest media corporations dominating film, publishing, and music (Time Warner, Viacom, and Disney).
Most visual art depreciates in value, just like automobiles and almost every other commodity in the economy, but the entire fine art market is geared to the fraction of a percent expected to appreciate. That means that most art produced by living artists has no transaction value whatsoever. For original works such as paintings, the higher the price the more likely it will appreciate in value over time, with works in the top 1.5% of auction prices, that is individual pieces worth well over $100,000, appreciating by the highest percentages [PLATE 62].  Only a few dozen living American artists can claim such resale values. Yet there are nearly a half-million professional visual artists in America and more than five million Americans who display their art in public. The promise of appreciation, and hence the benefit of the entire fine art market as it is currently constituted is a fantasy for all but a fraction of a percent of practicing visual artists.
There is a substantial literature on the poor labor conditions of artists: higher unemployment, lower earnings, lower returns per educational investment, fewer transferable skills, greatest earnings inequality, and highest rates of moonlighting. Such conditions are starkest for visual artists, with its most extreme imbalance of labor supply and market demand. Average sales of art for 96 percent of the working visual artists total less than $600 per year. Add to that an average of $100 per artist in total direct grant funds from all federal, state, local, and private sources. Only three percent of working artists, or roughly 20,000 people, succeeds in selling an average of $20,000 worth of work a year. Only 3,000 artists, roughly six-tenths of a percent of all working artists, are represented by New York City galleries. These privileged artists take in an average of approximately $75,000 per year from sales. Only 400 independent visual artists are successful enough to be able to hire more than one employee each. These celebrity artists make more than a half-million dollars per year in sales. The top independent U.S. artist alone commands at least four percent of all the money visual artists make in the United States. Art market sales are roughly four times more concentrated than what occurs in U.S. retail as a whole.
Economic concentration is the hallmark of arts and entertainment, but stardom in the rest of the arts generates sufficient revenues to float massive corporations and hundreds of thousands of supporting cast and crew members. This is accomplished by popular consumption of mass reproductions of artistic work. In the visual arts market, in contrast, priority is given to exclusive ownership of original works by a handful of art stars. While favorable critical reviews boost attention in all of the arts, there is a complete disconnect in the primary measure of acclaim between the visual arts and the rest of the arts. For the latter, the number of units that sell defines success (books, CDs, DVDs, videos, tickets, etc.). All that matters in the visual arts, on the other hand, is who buys the work. The closest the visual arts gets to mass reproduction and publicity is advertisements for blockbuster museum shows (mostly for dead artists) and international art fairs (mostly for the aforementioned elite collectors), as well as the assortment of glossy fine art magazines.
ARTnews boasts being "the largest circulation of any fine-art magazine in the world" [PLATE 63]. Its 83,000+ subscribers have an average income of more than $200,000, have been collecting art for an average of 17 years, and have accumulated collections worth an average of $183,000.  Far from being anything remotely resembling a mass audience, this is precisely the ultra-elite universe of international collectors. Compare this to Rolling Stone, the largest circulation magazine in the music industry, with nearly 1.3 million subscribers—fifteen times the ARTnews readership [PLATE 64]. Total earnings of everyone who lives in nearly half of households with the mostly young-adult Rolling Stone readers are less than $50,000. Is contemporary visual art inherently only of interest to rich people? Is contemporary music inherently an order of magnitude more popular? Or have these contemporaneous disciplines of art production merely evolved within different self-imposed cultural constraints, steeped in contrary attitudes about the value of various kinds of audience exposure and acclaim? Condé Nast's announcement in 2004 that it was planning to unveil an art magazine for the masses suggests that at least certain leading publishers and editors think the 60-million Americans who visit art exhibitions each year (more than attend professional sporting events) hint at a far larger greater potential market. Unfortunately, the 2005 resignation of the project's spearhead, then editorial director James Truman, leaves the venture in limbo as of this writing.
Living celebrities in all of the other arts are household names; not so for visual artists. Britney Spears may have to worry about overexposure as part of her brand management strategy, but such concerns for visual artists border on absurdity. Obscurity is the real threat. Despite the unshakable myth of the working artist toiling alone, greatness is a rare posthumous discovery. The former is ubiquitous, the latter less likely than a lottery jackpot. New York Times culture writer Christopher Reardon points to William Congdon [PLATE 65], the last surviving member of the New York School, who died in monastic seclusion on the outskirts of Milan in 1998, as the classic "case study in how to derail a promising artistic career" by favoring solitary artistic integrity over fame. The impact of underexposure also reaches to the very heights of accomplishment and prestige in the visual arts. Christies' 2001 sale of Bruce Nauman's 1967 wax and plaster sculpture Henry Moore Bound to Fail [PLATE 66] for nearly $10 million makes him the single most expensive living visual artist at the start of the Twenty-First Century. Yet how many Americans have even heard of or could recognize Nauman or his work? The visual arts' institutional focus on originality and its deep-seated antipathy towards the kinds of mass reproduction required for popular exposure are the very elements limiting its market reach and ultimately starving the majority of working artists.
One more symptom of underexposure: only visual artists have no organized labor representation. The rest of the arts have matured as industries and grown in scale to support a multitude powerful unions: Actors Equity, American Dance Guild, American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, American Guild of Musical Artists, American Guild of Variety Artists, American Musicians Federation, National Writers Union, Screen Actors Guild, Writers Guild of America, etc. The closest such organization for visual artists is the Graphic Artists Guild, which is geared towards design and illustration professional rather than the varied fine artists. (Hence its membership base is omitted from the labor statistics presented above.) Ironically, the very origins of labor associations began with artisan guilds dating from Roman to Medieval times. With "gild" at their Anglo-Saxon etymological root, such organizations point directly back to Europe's first engravers and printmakers, who were commonly goldsmiths [PLATE 67]. At one extreme, to see the day-to-day value of such organizations for working artists, just compare the manifold protections of a standard "U5" acting contract for speaking under five lines on TV to the utter lack of legal safeguards from a standard consignment form for entrusting a gallery with tens of thousands of dollars worth of visual art inventory. On the other extreme, one need only look to the Fortieth President of the United States [PLATE 68] (or the current governor of California) to see what power such organizational development can truly muster. The political and economic power of reproduction has been all but lost on the visual arts with its overwhelming focus on individualism and originality.

🎧 Malta: 'The Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier' of WWII
Latest Podcast Episodes 🎧 • 27m
Malta is located in the Mediterranean sea just beyond Sicily, between Europe and Africa; its warm climate and beautiful islands make it a perfect holiday destination. But in World War Two, the Islands’ strategic location made it centre stage in the theatre of war in the Mediterranean: a key stronghold from which the Allies could sustain their North African campaign and from which they could launch their eventual attack on mainland Italy.
Museum curator Liam Gauci and Keith Gatt from Heritage Malta take Dan through the country's rich wartime history and shed light on how the country and its people survived some of the most intense bombing of the war, as the Axis resolved to bomb or starve Malta into submission, by attacking its ports, towns, cities, and Allied shipping supplying the island.
This episode was sponsored by Visit Malta. Find out more about Malta's rich history here: https://www.visitmalta.com/en/history-of-malta-and-gozo/

A few weeks ago I spoke on the subject of consent to solicitors who represent claimants in clinical negligence cases. I encouraged them to consider the possibility of invalid consent at the outset of a claim rather than as an afterthought. I told them that I had infiltrated enemy lines, into the trenches that are hospital wards and GP surgeries, and discovered that there is a gap between the lofty ideal of consent, as reflected in the guidance of the General Medical Council and the law, and the gritty reality on the front line.
The next week I gave a talk on consent to clinicians and, as an act of atonement, advised them on how to defend themselves against the very attacks I revealed to the lawyers. There is one sophisticated attack of which readers should be aware.

text: These are intra-specific hybrids of Cyclamen persicum, just one of 23 species in the genus Cyclamen.These plants in the family Primulaceae are native to alpine woodlands in parts of southern Europe, western Asia and North Africa near the Mediterranean. In general, hardy cyclamen prefer poor, well-drained soils in full or part shade. To bottom water, fill the plant tray or cache pot, and allow the soil to soak it up through the holes in the bottom of the container. It sounds like you have the perfect growing environment for cyclamens. Er zijn verschillende soorten, waarvan de bloeiperioden kunnen verschillen. Providing the ideal cyclamen growing conditions is pretty easy during the winter, simply put them in the coolest room of your house. If your potted cyclamen has outgrown its container, you can repot it into a larger one. A perfect, affordable alternative to a bunch of flowers in the winter months. Most often grown in pots indoors, cyclamen like plenty of natural light. Thanks. Just make sure each tuber you split off has its own roots, and an eye at the top (the place where the leaves grow out of). See more ideas about Container gardening, Flowers, Indoor plants. addition to our cyclamen liners, Wagner’s produces preﬁ nished cyclamen in four inch pots. It’s best to keep indoor cyclamen growing in a room where the temperature is between 50-70 degrees F. The cooler they’re kept, the longer the flowers will last too. Cyclamen parviflorum, a close relative, is quite similar to C. coum but smaller in all parts. Most people don’t realize that cyclamens need a period of rest, or dormancy, in order to survive. Cyclamen zijn knolgewassen die groeiein op droge bosgrond. Cyclamen watering is another thing that is a bit different than most houseplants. Do not directly immerse the pot containing the plant in water. I only water when I see the leaves flagging and fertilize only every couple of months. Scientific Name: Cyclamen spp., mainly C. persicum. You can also subscribe without commenting. Don’t try to force it. Fungus gnats, on the other hand, live and bread in wet soil. The study concluded that the shape and the kind of bottom made even more difference for terracotta pots than for plastic ones, under the trough irrigation system. It is slower in growth and may be best for pots or troughs, although it has grown successfully tucked between the rocks in a shady portion of our rock garden. General purpose potting soil will usually work just fine for them. Im very happy that we got to know more about his first plant. Other people have said the same thing about their cyclamen blooming year round without going into dormancy, so it’s not unheard of. De kamerplant cyclaam (Cyclamen Persicum) is een knolgewasje en helemaal hot, vooral tijdens de wintermaanden. Growing cyclamen in containers is also a nice way to take advantage of their blooming period. Zet ze in een leuke pot en ze fleuren iedere binnen en buitenruimte op . The short answer is yes. So this method of propagation is definitely much slower. You’re welcome. Download deze Mooie Cyclamen Bud Cyclamen Bloemen In Pot foto nu. Cyclamen are readily available from April to September at nurseries, florist shops and supermarkets. Wait until you see new growth before you water again. They are just a nuisance and rarely do damage to a plant. In the spring and summer they bloom, but not quite as full. The flowers are large and more rounded than others I have seen. If they get too hot, it will force an early dormancy.

This is certain to be an epic show – as it will be the first on-stage live performance since Skum broke up in 1990. Director Clay Westervelt plans to shoot the concert scene with no cuts. This is an extraordinary undertaking in what Hollywood Film said “is about as innovative as it gets”, calling Westervelt “the mad genius of rock and roll filmmaking.” “This is an opportunity for fans to not only be in the Skum Rocks! movie – which will immortalize them forever – but to help a great cause,” said lead singer Hart Baur. Proceeds from the concert will go to help launch the non-profit Shining Through Shadows Foundation, in memory of our good friend Seth Stark who died in September 2011. “Seth was a great friend of ours, so this is a win-win for everyone. Clay Westervelt gets his shot, our fans get to see us play and be a part of the movie before the summer premiere, and Shining Through Shadows gets launched properly.” “We have Frankie Banali joining us on stage for a couple of songs. How does it get any cooler than that? ” asked lead bassist Pat Burke. “This concert is going to have Rock and Roll and Hollywood – we are bringing it all – and it’ll be great to be back onstage before the Skum Rocks! film, book and album are released this summer.” This event is a must if you are anywhere near Baroos Beachside. Where else can you see one of the greatest underground bands of our generation perform, participate in the filming of a major Hollywood movie, and help raise money for an extremely worthy cause? “There are going to be a lot of surprises and surprise celebrities showing up,” said lead guitarist John Eaton. “We’ve performed at Sun Studio and Abbey Road this year. And now Baroos? I’d say it’s been a pretty good year.” All net proceeds from the performance will go to help launch the non-profit Shining Through Shadows Foundation.

Lawmakers on the legislature’s Finance Committee yesterday said they are unhappy with the Financial Supervisory Commission’s reluctance to shed light on information related to recent controversies surrounding biotechnology company OBI Pharma Inc (台灣浩鼎).
At a closed-door meeting with the commission officials, lawmakers across party lines demanded to know the identities of investors and institutions who had sold short on OBI shares to take advantage of bearish bets, but to no avail.
Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator William Tseng (曾銘宗), the former commission chairman, had listed the identities of beneficial owners of two offshore entities found among OBI Pharma’s top 10 stakeholders, as well as investors and institutions involved in a spike in short interest in the company as prospects turned sour.
However, the commission said that it cannot provide details as prosecutors have launched investigations into alleged market manipulation and insider trading.
“The case remains murky without these key facts,” KMT Legislator Lai Shyh-bao (賴士葆) said.
Lai said the commission acknowledged that more than 4 million OBI Pharma shares were loaned to investors and institutions for short bets, with interest fees averaging between 7 percent and 12 percent, but that it refused to provide further details.
Lawmakers vowed to form a “document request committee” to obtain the facts they need.
OBI Pharma’s share price has gone through a precipitous tumble after the company announced discouraging results from a clinical trial for a new breast cancer vaccine on Feb. 21.
As the stock’s price tanked, allegations arose that a number of company executives and interested parties had profited by acting on non-public information, selling part of their holdings ahead of announcements that the drug’s third-phase clinical trials had shown “no statistical significance.”
The Chinese-language Next Magazine yesterday reported that prosecutors are looking into a number of institutions and active traders who borrowed NT$2.2 billion (US$68.01 million) worth of OBI shares for short sales. Many of the shares were loaned at exceedingly low interest rates of 0.01 percent, the report said, suggesting that the short sales were planned by the company’s major stakeholders.
The report also accused Academia Sinica President Wong Chi-huey (翁啟惠), a close collaborator with the company, and OBI chairman Michael Chang (張念慈) of market manipulation.
Wong and Chang had publicly supported the company’s prospects in a bid to calm panicked retail investors to ensure maximum profits for short sellers, the report said.
Wong, who is currently on leave in the US, said in a statement released on Thursday last week that he sold 10,000 of his daughter’s OBI shares on her behalf on Feb. 18, on the advice of a stockbroker.
Lawmakers have demanded Wong return to Taiwan to explain his daughter’s OBI shareholding and how she sold shares just before prices tanked.
The commission said it is revising regulatory guidelines on biotechnology stocks to expand stock trading restrictions imposed on company insiders and raise awareness of risks associated with the sector’s make-or-break nature, where companies do not produce steady revenue streams leading up to the successful commercialization of new drugs.
Gogoro Inc (睿能創意) yesterday launched its first electric bicycle, the Gogoro Eeyo 1, in Taiwan, after unveiling the bike in New York in late May and in France on Tuesday. The company said it would also introduce the series in other European countries such as Germany and the Netherlands. The “Eeyo project” is the fourth of Gogoro’s eight projects that concentrate on smart transportation, which includes Gogoro’s electric scooter, battery swap system and electric scooter sharing service, company founder and chief executive officer Horace Luke (陸學森) told a media briefing in Taipei. “There are various types of city commuters. We will not
EXPERIMENTAL DRUG: While news about a COVID-19 vaccine is more eye-catching, developing a treatment would be more viable, the Senhwa boss said Senhwa Biosciences Inc (生華科) aims to raise NT$1.5 billion (US$50.57 million) by issuing 15 million new common shares in the third quarter of this year to fund the research of new drugs, including the experimental drug Silmitasertib for the treatment of COVID-19, the company said on Monday. That would be the firm’s largest fundraising effort after it raised more than NT$1.4 billion from an initial public offering on the Taipei Exchange (TPEX) in April 2017, chief financial officer Sarah Chang (張小萍) told the Taipei Times by telephone. The price of the new shares would depend on the firm’s average share price
NOT A PANACEA: Offering 5G services would not solve the problem of declining telecom incomes, chairman Sheih Chi-mau said, expecting a flat 5G telecom revenue Chunghwa Telecom Co (中華電信) yesterday became the nation’s first telecom to debut its 5G services, offering tiered tariffs that include a threshold of NT$599 and flat rates, as it aims to switch half of its subscribers to the 5G network within three years. Subscribers would have unlimited data transmission for monthly fees starting at NT$1,399 — the same flat rate as when the company launched its 4G service in 2014 — and they can subscribe to the highest-rate plan for NT$2,699 per month for faster data transmission speeds and larger bandwidth, the company said. Data transmission speeds would be within the range
STAYING AHEAD: TSMC expects its sales this year to grow 14 to 19 percent and could spend up to US$3.52 billion on research and development, leaving its rivals far behind Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) reported that the US last year approved 99 percent of its patent applications, which placed the tech giant among the top patent holders in the US. In its Corporate Social Responsibility Report, TSMC said it last year secured about 3,600 patents worldwide, including more than 2,300 in the US. As of the end of last year, TSMC owned more than 39,000 patents, the report said. The company last year filed almost 6,500 patent applications worldwide and ranked among the top 10 patent applicants in the US. In Taiwan, it was the largest patent applicant for the fourth

Go ahead and try to typecast Joe Rogan, if you dare.
He’s a 20-year stand-up comedy veteran. A tae kwon do grand champion. A self-proclaimed pothead, and proud.
“Everything about this life is a psychedelic experience,” Rogan said by phone recently, and it’s difficult to imagine him as the same man who once challenged Wesley Snipes to a mixed-martial-arts beatdown.
You’re probably familiar with the Rogan who served up fly-and-maggot cocktails to contestants on “Fear Factor” — a hit show he readily admits he hosted for the money. But it’s his stand-up, like the new, curiously named Spike TV special “Talking Monkeys in Space”, that he puts his heart into.
Rogan will be stopping by West Palm Beach’s Improv club this weekend for four shows. He’s got some theories to share — let’s call them “unconventional” to be polite — on drug use, homosexuality, and of course, his hot topic du jour: the evolution of man.
“No one’s saying there’s no God,” he asserts in his special. “All I’m saying is maybe God made a monkey that doesn’t like to think it’s a monkey and lies a lot.”
Not only are we talking monkeys, Rogan says, but “we’re attached to this huge rock that’s spinning around a gigantic nuclear explosion, and we’re literally flying through space, and we never even bring it up. We’re the weirdest animal ever.”
If it sounds a little far out, it is. Much of Rogan’s world seems filtered through a lens of wide-eyed wonder, as if the comedian hasn’t quite come down from his last mushroom trip.
Yet, despite his burgeoning druggie image – made infamous by a 10-minute radio rant about the hallucinogen DMT — Rogan has also managed to carve out a niche as a color commentator for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The mixed-martial-arts organization is famous for cage matches that leave both opponents bloody and toothless.
And just when rough-and-tumble Rogan seemed destined to live life on the edge well into his 40s, enter his infant daughter. But instead of turning him tame, he says, raising the now-14-month-old has been like traveling to “the edge of reality.”
“I always describe having a baby as just like doing mushrooms,” Rogan says, “in that if you’ve never done it before, I can’t really describe it to you accurately. … There’s no way I could tell you how much you would love your child.”
There’s been another big change at the Rogan household. After railing for years against the uselessness of marriage, the comedian finally tied the knot this year with his long-time girlfriend.
“I had to,” Rogan, ever the romantic, confesses. “Not really had to, but you know, she made a baby. (It’s) like, ‘God, all right, I’ll sign a silly legal contract.’ What she did was way more of a commitment.”
JOE ROGAN: Today, 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.; Saturday, 7 p.m. and9:15 p.m., Palm Beach Improv, CityPlace, 550 S. Rosemary Ave., West Palm Beach. Info: (561) 833-1812, palmbeachimprov.com

Dermatomyositis Awareness: Unraveling the Mystery Behind Suhani Bhatnagar’s Tragic Demise
In a shocking turn of events, the untimely death of 19-year-old actress Suhani Bhatnagar has not only left everyone in disbelief but has also brought attention to the awareness needed for rare autoimmune diseases. Suhani’s demise was a result of dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disorder that initially affects the skin and skeletal muscles.
Suhani’s Journey with Dermatomyositis
Suhani’s father revealed in media interviews that she had been grappling with symptoms for two months before a diagnosis was confirmed just two weeks before her tragic end. Dermatomyositis, with its subtle symptoms, often poses challenges in timely detection, leading to severe consequences.
Recognizing Early Symptoms
The initial signs of dermatomyositis include red rashes on the face, around the nails, pores, elbows, knees, chest, and back. Additionally, sufferers may experience muscle weakness, swelling, breathing difficulties, and difficulty swallowing. These seemingly minor symptoms contribute to the diagnostic delay.
Understanding Autoimmune Diseases
According to Dr. Uma Kumar, a leading rheumatologist at AIIMS, autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. This process is slowed down with anti-inflammatory medications, and only about 5% of patients experience a fulminant course of the disease.
Lifestyle Factors Contributing to Autoimmune Disorders
While the exact cause of autoimmune disorders remains unknown, research suggests that lifestyle factors play a significant role. Viral infections, smoking, air pollution, specific medications, and chronic stress are identified as potential triggers. Genetic predisposition also contributes to susceptibility.
Dermatomyositis is more prevalent in adults aged 40-60 and children between 5-15 years, with females facing twice the risk compared to males. Notably, individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 are at an elevated risk of developing this autoimmune disease.
Coping Strategies for Patients
Neurologist Dr. Shamsher Dwivedi emphasizes that there are no specific preventive measures for autoimmune disorders. However, early diagnosis can significantly reduce the severity of the disease. Coping strategies involve psychological support, lifestyle adjustments, and building a strong support network.
Suhani Bhatnagar’s tragic demise sheds light on the urgency of raising awareness about rare autoimmune diseases like dermatomyositis. Timely detection, understanding symptoms, and supporting affected individuals emotionally are crucial steps in managing these conditions.

To dream of selling charcoal could mean you are looking to create change in your own life or wishing to be an catalyst for positive transformation in others’ lives as well. The charcoal represents your ability to initiate meaningful growth through life’s cycles.
Dream about charcoal and fire
Dreaming of both charcoal and fire is an empowering symbol. The charcoal represents life’s inevitable changes and transitions, while the fire reflects the warmth, light and energy within you that will help you courageously blaze a new path forward.
Dream of charcoal and water
Charcoal and water together in a dream suggest the changes and transitions you’re facing may involve both energizing and cooling forces. There will be phases of high energy and passion combined with periods of slowing down and putting out metaphorical flames. Embrace this balanced transformation.
Dream of burning charcoal
To see charcoal burning in your dream vision refers to feeling intense energy, passion and drive during this period of profound personal metamorphosis. The fire represents harnessed power that will help you break through obstacles fearlessly.
16. Dream of mining coal
If you dreamed of mining for coal, this could mean you are delving deep into your unconscious mind, soul and psyche to discover more about yourself during this transition process. Bringing these unconscious elements to light will aid your transformation.

A venomous spider bite caused the bacterial infection that ultimately killed a 10-year-old Montana boy, an autopsy revealed.
Keith Pierce was running wild in a flag football game on Oct. 4. Nine days later he was dead, the result of a leg infection caused by a brown recluse spider bite, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported.
The fourth-grader from Three Forks, Mont., died at St. Vincent's Hospital in Billings on Monday at 2 a.m. He was transferred there from a Bozeman hospital and underwent surgery on Sunday.
"He was an energetic, athletic, cute little boy," family friend Alicia Carper Clark wrote on the GoFundMe page set up for a memorial fund. "He was great at wrestling, and loved sports and was super active and fun."
The Yellowstone County coroner confirmed Pierce was bitten by a brown recluse spider, KBZK reported.
It's the second headline-making run-in with the creepy-crawly critter in a week.
A foreclosed home in Weldon Spring, Mo. — and the subject of a suit — was finally fumigated, nearly seven years after it was found to house 5,000 brown recluse spiders.

Calcium metal burns according to the following equation: Ca(s) + 1/2 O2(g) --> CaO (s).
When 1.00 g of calcium metal is burned in a constant pressure calorimeter with a heat capacity of 15.20 kJ/K, the temperature increases by 1.04 degrees Celcius. Calculate the enthalpy of formation of calcium oxide. Compare this answer with -635.09 kJ/mol.
Enthalpy of formation (DHof)is the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states with measurements made under standard conditions of 298K and 1 atm.
The measurement of enthalpy changes of chemical and physical processes is accomplished by calorimetry. The chemical or physical process is carried out on a precisely known scale in an insulated container called a calorimeter.
The insulation prevents the flow of heat from the surroundings to the system (inside the calorimeter) ...
The expert calculates the enthalpy of formation of calcium oxide. The solution explains each step and provides all mathematical steps.


A common cause for the common good
The world faces many challenges. The rise of populism and slide to the right, the increasing gap between rich and poor, rising violence against minorities and, of course, the greatest challenge of all, climate change.
It has been suggested, more than once, that a different approach to solving these problems is necessary.
Among academics and engineers alike, there has been a call for a war-time organisation of development efforts for things like battery technology, solar and fusion energy generation.
“Imagine a consortium of private companies, facilitated by governments and academia, being given a deadline and as near as damn-it unlimited resources to perfect fusion energy”
During times of extreme need, such as during war time, efforts like the Manhattan Project that developed the first nuclear weapons, but more benignly in peace time, the Apollo project to land on the moon, tackled what at the time were viewed as potentially impossible tasks. They did this by breaking the problems down, assigning small teams and coordinating efforts to achieve specific goals. Admittedly, they also poured billions of dollars into them, but that, strangely enough, is not the issue.
Billions of dollars are already being spent on R&D in all of these areas, but arguably in narrow, uncoordinated fashion, without a unifying goal or direction.
While the germ of this idea has been circulating for some time, it has gained momentum lately from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report that states quite starkly that we have, as a planet, about 12 years in which to arrest the worst effects of climate change.
Essentially the report says that if we are to limit, not prevent, temperature rises to just 1.5c, we have a narrow window of opportunity that will require drastic measures. Furthermore, it says that if we see a rise of 2c by 2100 it would mean a difference of 10cm in sea levels.
The issue is that not only would warmer environments result in a basic sea level rise, due to greater melt water, but the expansions of the existing oceans would contribute further. This is over and above the extremes that have been seen in terms of Australian and Californian droughts and extreme flooding events. A generally warmer atmosphere would drive greater extremes of weather globally, and not just storms, hurricanes and typhoons. None of which mentions the effects of coral bleaching, methane release from frozen lakes and permafrost tundra melting.
The effects on the natural world are devastating too, with accelerated extinction rates for species already on the edge.
Another UN report, the IPBES Global Assessment, has found that an unprecedented 1 million plant and animal species are already on the verge of extinction. A rise in global average temperature of 2c by 2100 would mean another mass extinction on the order of the Permian event some 250 million years ago, according to some experts.
However, given that the two largest trading blocs in the world, the US and China are currently involved in a petty tariff war, it is unlikely that either will be the lynchpin for a new Bletchley Park, Apollo Programme or the like.
But there is hope.
The European Organisation for Nuclear Research, CERN, is a shining example of how international cooperation, carefully organised and coordinated around a common goal can succeed.
Indeed, many modern science achievements from the gravity wave detection team behind LIGO to the recent black hole imaging triumph team under Event Horizon, have demonstrated how diverse skills can be brought together successfully for a unifying goal.
However, there is an equally valid suggestion that it is time to move beyond model of governmental or even academic organisations for this purpose.
Imagine the power of the top 10 artificial intelligence technologists coming together for a consortium for one purpose: to produce AI to tackle climate change.
Imagine a consortium of private companies, facilitated by governments and academia, being given a deadline and as near as damn-it unlimited resources to perfect fusion energy.
If we could crack fusion energy within 20 years, and share the technology the world over, what effect would it have on emissions?
If private companies, from the major technology vendors to pharma-chem and manufacturing were given the same strictures and told to decarbonise the environment, where would we be?
The cost of abandoning cites and campuses around the world as sea level rises, should be enough to give a context for what the impending catastrophe will cost.
There are already indications of how severe this could be. Since 1957, there have been warnings that Indonesia’s capital Jakarta is sinking. By 2050, up to 95% of the northern portion of the city will be below sea level.
In 2007, a monsoon left large parts of the city under 1.5m of water. Climate change has accelerated the subsidence, which is the major underlying cause, but its subsequent vulnerability to flooding from weather events has been exacerbated by more severe storms and rising sea levels.
Comparative studies around the world have found similarly vulnerable cities, not least of which is the San Francisco Bay Area.
Compare the cost of abandon a city of 10 million people to investing in a climate change programme.
Is it time for organisations like Google, Microsoft, IBM, HPE Dell Technologies, Fujitsu, Lenovo, Huawei, Cisco, Amazon, to name but a few, to step up, collaborate and spend some of their billions investing in the future of the planet to ensure there is still a market to sell to beyond 2100 — and not just for Sou’westers, Macintoshes and Wellies?
Imagine a kind of General Public Licence for any technology developed specifically to tackle climate change. All governments, NGOs and private companies being able to use the technologies towards a unified goal of reducing the impact of climate change.
When one looks at the immense achievements of Apollo, the Concorde, Bletchley Park, CERN, LIGO and Event Horizon, it is clear that great leaps can be made when the imperative is there, the resources are committed and deadlines are set.
If ever there was an issue that required extraordinary effort, it is this. And as it is an issue that faces all of humanity, surely that should be enough of a unifying cause to see old objections and old norms broken by the common need for a common good.

Backers of Pro-Abortion Health Care Bill Plan Hundreds of Rallies by Labor Day
by Steven Ertelt
August 25, 2009
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Opponents of the pro-abortion health care bills pending in Congress have been more vocal and outspoken than the minority of Americans who support the legislation. Announcements from leading liberal groups make it appear that will change as hundreds of rallies are planned in the coming weeks.
Face with public opinion that is strongly opposed to a government-run health plan that includes abortion and rationing components, public opinion has soured on the Congressional legislation.
To rebuild support for the bill, which could fund hundreds of thousands of abortions, the Democratic Party and the combined DNC/Obama campaign apparatus Organizing for America will push as many as 500 rallies and public events between now and September 8.
A Politico report indicates Health Care for America Now, a group pushing to create the government-run plan, is also behind the effort.
HCAN spokeswoman Jacki Schechner told the web site: We want members of Congress to get back to work and pass reform that means something. Its doable and we expect it to get done now.
The events will also include old-fashioned grassroots politicking such as phone banks and email campaigns.
They will also include a bus that plans to travel to key cities to hold rallies, and they include Phoenix , Albuquerque, Denver, Des Moines, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Charlotte, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Indianapolis and Columbus, Ohio.
In these last few weeks of recess we want to demonstrate the energy, passion and commitment that the American people have to health insurance reform so that when members return after Labor Day they know that they can turn their attention to getting this done because they have the backing of the American people, Democratic party spokesman Brad Woodhouse said.
The polling data on health care is currently so poor that President Barack Obama’s ratings have taken a tumble as a result.
The latest Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll has 28 percent of Americans strongly approving of the job the president is doing, with 40 percent strongly disapproving.
More than three in five Americans (65 percent) give Obama negative ratings on the overall job he is doing on health care, according to a new Harris Poll out today.

Arson suspect sought in 3 Mission fires
Officials have not linked fires to suspected arson attacks in Abbotsford
Police in Mission, B.C., are looking for an arson suspect after several suspicious fires broke out around 2 a.m. PT Thursday morning.
RCMP say a homeowner in the 33700 block of Bowie Drive found his front porch on fire, but quickly extinguished it with a garden hose.
"Down the street, another residence was observed to have fire damage. A short distance away, a trailer parked in the 8500 block of Doerksen Drive was also damaged by fire," said a statement issued by police.
Nobody was hurt in any of the fires.
Due to the short time frame and small area involved, police believe the incidents are related. They looking for a suspicious man described as white, heavy set, 5'8" or 5'9" and wearing a grey jacket.
Police in Abbotsford say they don't believe the fires in Mission are linked to five suspicious fires in Abbotsford earlier this month.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
