When I asked Paul Heron, editor of, 'A Cafe in Space ' - the only literary journal dedicated to diarist/novelist Anais Nin - to write the introduction to the Anais through the Looking Glass and Other Stories exhibition, I never imagined that Paul, who by all accounts is a very busy man, would have the time to write a few sentences let alone an article. Thank you Paul from the bottom of my heart for this amazing piece of writing.
'When Colette Standish submitted “Love,” a mixed media image for the 2011 issue of A Café in Space: The Anaïs Nin Literary Journal, I was immediately struck with how, in spite of the fact she was not herself represented, the spirit of Anaïs Nin spoke strongly and clearly. Standish has become a regular contributor to A Café in Space for the simple reason that her art—sometimes playful, sometimes surrealistic, and always passionate—visually encapsulates Nin’s vast and multifaceted life and work.
In Standish’s new collection, “Anaïs through the Looking Glass and Other Stories,” the visual interweaving of the artist and her muse are presented in three sections. The first, “The Looking Glass,” incorporates the symbol of the mirror in Nin’s oeuvre. Nin said, “The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say.” It is this philosophy that gives Nin’s writing a mirror-like quality: we, the readers, can recognize our deepest, most hidden qualities in her words. We see ourselves clearly, perhaps for the first time. Standish captures this phenomenon in “The Looking Glass,” and in her “cracked glass” pieces, Nin is bursting through the pages of her books into our world, and we into hers.
The second section, the “Erotic,” is an essential representation of Nin’s complicated love life, which has been called by some an “erotic madness,” beginning when she, a married woman, met the American author Henry Miller in Paris in 1931. Miller “taught” Nin how to “be a woman,” and the process was painful because, as Nin put it, “I was no longer a child with a child’s blind faith.” Several important personages figure into Standish’s images here—Miller himself, his sultry wife June, Nin’s husband Hugo, and her lover, the young forester Rupert Pole. But the most haunting figure, the one who pulled the strings of all the other men as so many marionettes, is Nin’s father, Joaquín, with whom Anaïs had a doomed affair in 1933, a cataclysmic meeting of the long-estranged father and daughter, the result of twenty years of longing, regret, and a never-ending search to replace him with another. Standish depicts Joaquín Nin’s overbearing presence in his daughter’s life brilliantly.
The third section, “Amalgamation,” is a fitting conclusion to “Anaïs through the Looking Glass,” because Nin’s life, contrary to how it has been presented in literature and in film, was not purely erotic, nor purely literary, but a concoction of both—her dreams, which fed her literary works, often affected her decisions about with whom to share them, and vice-versa. Nin’s lovers were not simply flesh and blood—they were characters in her inner life; she was able to transmute the human into a symbol, an extension of the dream, and whatever ugliness, flaws or limitations the lover possessed was left for mortals to judge. Anaïs Nin did not judge, and Standish does not judge Nin but instead allows her potent and unique life-force to burn within the images presented here today.

The Marquee Club
This is where the notorious Marquee Club used to be, cult venue.
Location: 90 Wardour Street, Soho, London, W1F 0TJ
Description: The Marquee Club was a London cult musical landmark during the '60s and '70s, and the name was a legend in itself. The Wardour Street venue closed in 1996, having hosted some of the biggest names and most exciting bands of the last three decades.
The Rolling Stones played their first gig from the previous location, and legends from U2, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie to Pink Floyd have graced its stage.
The Who famously trashed their gear there, the Sex Pistols were banned for doing the same after their first proper London gig.
It became notorious as a secret venue for top acts, with them playing under pseudonyms, such as Iron Maiden appearing as A Fun Night With The Entire Population of Hackney.
The venue also prominently featured in the 1983 video for the Wham! single I'm Your Man.

"Who am I to me?" - Janet Mock on Oprah's Super Soul Sessionss
People from all walks of life often ask me: How do I live a more authentic life? I say we must start by asking ourselves one vital question: WHO AM I TO ME? The answers you provide yourself will assure you, affirm you and allow you to live your truth. I shared part of my path toward a more honest and authentic life on Oprah Winfrey's SuperSoul Sunday and "Super Soul Sessions" for OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.Posted by Janet Mock on Wednesday, November 18, 2015
"Who am I to me?"
It's the question that journalist and activist Janet Mock asked in an installment of "Super Soul Sessions" on Oprah Winfrey's OWN website. In a clip, published on Wednesday, the host of MSNBC shift's "So Popular!" talked about how walking in your truth can change your life.
Mock made headlines in 2011 when she revealed in a Marie Claire article that she is a trans woman. Since then, she has been an active voice in the trans community, publishing her book "Redefining Realness" in 2014.
"We must have the audacity to turn up the frequency of our truths," Mock said in the video. "As Dorothy learned from Glinda, we have always had the power. It is the world's limitations and the myths that we internalize about ourselves that pushes us to diminish our power and ignore it."

A suspect is being held at the Forsyth County Jail on rape, automobile theft and battery charges stemming from two incidents over the weekend.
According to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, Brian Keith Harris, 52, was arrested on Saturday, July 9, on charges of theft of an automobile, strong-arm rape, aggravated assault with other weapon and aggravated battery, all felonies.
According to a first incident report, at about 6:20 a.m. on Saturday, deputies responded to a call of an unknown woman on a caller’s front porch on Wiltshire Lane in south Forsyth County.
After making contact with the woman, the responding officer said she was “crying uncontrollably stating she had been raped and abused by the man next door,” who she identified as Harris.
The victim told deputies she had met Harris on a dating site and alleged he had strangled her with a cord, “beat her with what she believed was a brick-like object” and raped her before the victim left out of a basement door and crawled to the neighbor’s house.
“The grass was still wet from the morning dew, so you could see exactly where [the victim] had gone,” the incident report said.
Per the report, the victim was taken to Wellstar North Fulton Hospital and “provided similar statements as she did on the scene”
The victim reported that another man had been with her and Harris that evening but “left the residence when [Harris] started hitting her” and said she left her possessions – including her ID, two phones, bag, keys and clothes – in Harris’ house when she fled.
A few hours after officers responded to the first incident, Harris was arrested in Lawrenceville while driving a truck stolen from a Forsyth County business.
According to a second incident report, Harris was arrested at an Amazon facility at Belle Meade Court in Lawrenceville after the truck was found using GPS information. Harris reportedly admitted to a Gwinnett Police Department officer after being read a Miranda Warning that he had stolen the truck.
The report said the truck, a 2021 Freightliner Boom truck, was stolen from a tire shop on Peachtree Parkway after an employee noticed it was missing at about 8:30 a.m. on Saturday.

I was given some sausages from Grandad’s Sausages and they are really amazing. I really recommend trying them as they don’t skimp on flavours and the sausages remain moist after cooking! They are based locally in Bury too! Support local!
To celebrate British Sausage Week, I’ve created a quick and easy dish for the cold weather we’ve been having. I’ve also used the kale I got from my vegetable box to create this healthy dish.
Sausage and kale with quinoa
- 1 pack of sausages I've used Grandad's Sausages Pork and Leek ones
- 1 onion cubed
- 200 g cherry tomatoes
- 2 tsp dried sage
- 500 ml chicken stock
- 250 g quinoa
- 150 g kale or spinach
- Black pepper to taste
- Parmesan optional

- Fry the onions for a few minutes until brown.
- Add the sausages, cherry tomatoes and sage, fry for a further 5 minutes.
- Add the stock to the pot, then the quinoa. Cook the quinoa until it's translucent.

26 Mar 2012 Blacks in D.C. Support Voter ID Rules
Blacks distrust voter ID requirements? Not all of them, as this video shows. Project 21 member Bob Parks, a senior producer at MRCTV, put together this video of black D.C. residents and workers who are largely supportive of an ID requirement to vote — citing concerns for safety, ballot integrity and the ease of getting an ID. It throws a key liberal talking point against voter ID rules on its head.


One of the biggest events of the year for the cricket buffs is on. Watching the game with friends and family through the thrilling catches, miraculous comebacks and jaw dropping moments is an exceptionally endearing feeling. What the game also revolves around is the food! The feeling of grabbing a greasy pizza, chomping on fries that are washed down by a bottle of cola is what makes a game-night a pleasurable event. But the oh-so-captivating gamer grub, apart from calming down your grumbling stomach for a while, does not really do a favor to your waistline (or your body).
Did you know that sitting in front of a television screen for a long duration has been linked to erratic eating behaviors and subsequent obesity?
The mindless munching of foods that are high in carbs, fats and salt does not bode well with the sedentary nature of the game night. But there can be no fun without your gamer grub around for the games night, right? Let bon happetee come to your rescue.

The Watch Dogs 2 story trailer has landed and it looks like we’ll be seeing an old friend from the first title. Does this mean Aiden Pearce will make an appearance? We hope not…
From what we can gather, Raymond “T-Bone” Kenny will be making a significant appearance in Watch Dogs 2. This makes us more than a little excited. T-Bone Grady was one of the best parts of the original game. One of the biggest complaints of Watch Dogs was how uninteresting the main character Aiden Pearce was. This was all fixed when you finally had the chance to play as T-Bone in the game’s story DLC.
As you can see from the Watch Dogs 2 trailer, the sequel focuses on Marcus Holloway. Marcus is a young hacker who is recruited by Dedsec, a group of the best hackers on a mission to shut down the Blume CTO and his lust for power.
With a more lighthearted tone this time around, Ubisoft looks to be correcting all of the first game’s wrongs. Even T-Bone feels more at place here. We’re curious to see what brought him all the way to San Francisco in the first place. If this Watch Dogs 2 story trailer is anything to go off of, we are in for a much better experience this time around. Still, we can’t help but cross our fingers.
Check out the trailer below!

Taking to the friendly skies with some of the most exciting new drones
By Marc Saltzman
Still very much up in the air, the future of commercial drone delivery that’s been tested in rural British Columbia, and a few other locations in the American and UK locations by Amazon is currently treading water when compared to the recreational popularity of flying UAVs (“Unmanned Aerial Vehicles”). In fact, research by Goldman Sachs forecasts that the ‘drone sector’ will soar, to reach heights of up a $100 billion in the coming year alone.
Civilian drones, of course, are remote-controlled UAVs or “quadcopters,” often with advanced cameras that allow for the capture of unique aerial footage. There are also many consumer friendly support apps, too, for those who enjoy controlling the roll, pitch and throttle action with a smartphone or tablet. Some work with special glasses that let the user see what the drone sees, in real time, from a first-person perspective.
But with so many drone options on the market, how do you compare and land on the right one for you? Here are some of the latest:
Calling all shutterbugs
Those who take drone photography seriously might con-ider DJI’s Mavic 2 Pro ($2,179; dji.com), the world’s first drone with an integrated Hasselblad camera.
Yielding outstanding image quality with superior light and colour performance, this drone houses a 1-inch CMOS sensor with a 10-bit Dlog-M colour profile—which trans- lates to capturing four times as many levels of colour per channel compared to the original Mavic Pro.
Along with stunning aerial photos the Mavic 2 Pro, which costs $2,769 with the optional Smart Controller, can shoot 4K 10-bit video, with HDR (High Dynamic Range) support, which is ideal for compatible televisions for viewing your work after flight.
And then there’s the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom ($1,839 or $2,429 with Smart Controller), billed as the first foldable consumer drone with zoom. Powered by a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor, this drone can get closer to your subject by fusing two-times optical zoom (24-48mm) with two-times digital zoom to simulate a 96mm telephoto lens—capable of capturing lossless video in Full HD resolution.
A “super resolution” feature automatically captures and stitches nine photos together for a highly detailed 48-megapixel image, which is great for landscape photography, along with a hyperlapse option which shows the passing of time.
Leveraging its three-axis mechanical gimbal for stable video recording, both DJI drones also include ActiveTrack 2.0, an enhanced auto-tracking feature that can lock onto a target—like a child slaloming down a hill—between its main camera and front dual vision cameras. These “autonomous” drones will also recognize and avoid obstacles while capturing footage—up to 72 kilometres an hour in Sport mode. Flying time of the Mavic 2 family tops 31 minutes.
Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom are both compatible with DJI Goggles ($549) for an immersive first-person view flight experience, while the optional Mavic 2 Fly More Kit ($538; for both Zoom and Pro) includes: multiple spare batteries, low-noise propellers for quieter flight, a shoulder bag, and more.
Cool n’ compact
A stellar—and smaller—option, the Parrot ANAFI ($999; parrot.com) is another popular consumer-grade drone that has won several awards, including inclusion in a “Best Drones of 2020” feature by DPReview.com (Digital Photography Review).
Designed for easy portability, this ultra-compact zoom measures 244 x 67 x 65 mm (when folded) and 175 x 240 x 65 mm (unfolded) and weighs 320 grams (0.75 pounds). By comparison, the DJI Mavic 2 Pro is 322 × 242 × 84 mm unfolded.
Capture up to 4K HDR video footage and 21 megapixel stills with ANAFI’s integrated Sony optical sensor, including support for slow-motion and hyperlapse modes, plus a 2-month membership to Adobe Creative Cloud is included with purchase, to make your archived photos stand out even further. ANAFI features a 180-degree tilt gimbal, to capture great shots from several angles, plus up to 2.8x lossless zoom to see farther away, with its smart image stabilization (across five axes: 2 mechanical axes and 3 electronic axes).
Parrot’s FreeFlight 6 is its new and intuitive piloting interface, making it easy to create automatic drone videos using artificial intelligence (A.I.). Similar to the Mavic 2 drones, ANAFI includes a framing assistant, too, so all you have to do is control the movement of your drone whilst the subject is automatically locked on—and that can include yourself with the ability to create fun aerial selfies for you and some friends.
ANAFI is as rugged as it is compact: to meet the challenges of the most challenging environments, the drone has been designed to be deployable even in extreme temperatures from -10 degrees Celsius to +50 Celsius). Top sped is 53 km/hour.
Finally, Parrot’s best-seller supports up to 25 minutes of flying time and is programmed to automatically return to its starting point when the battery level becomes critical. For $200 more, the Parrot ANAFI Extended ($1,199) is a kit that includes the Parrot ANAFI drone, three smart batteries, a Skycontroller, travel bag, 16 GB MicroSD card and adaptor, three USB-A to USB-C cables, eight additional propeller blades and a mounting tool.
An Eggs-xellent pick
PowerVision hatched its PowerEgg X at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this past January, and its All- Weather Edition is now available ($1,319; powervision.me).
It’s an egg-shaped gadget that took the Beijing- headquartered drone maker more than three years and 300 engineers to create. Consider it a three-in-one product: a 4K camcorder, desktop camera and autonomous drone.
That is, you can hold it like a football to shoot 60-frames- per-second video 4K for up to 3.5 hours between charges (and sync with an app for editing purposes) or have it follow you around a room, by locking onto your face, while supporting live-streaming.
But it’s also an autonomous drone that can rotate its camera on its 3-axis gimbal and follow a subject—like someone playing soccer—for up to 30 minutes. The company PowerVision says the PowerEgg X’s A.I. algorithm and robotics technology capabilities enable the device to perform facial recognition, deep learning, and a tracking field of view up to 170 degrees. What’s more, patented SyncVoice technology allows you to narrate in real-time by using your smartphone’s microphone or a wireless headset, which is then automatically synchronized with pictures—effectively ending silent-aerial photography.
The PowerEgg X comes with a waterproof housing, mini tripod, and other accessories. For $1,450 you might opt for the top-of-the-line Wizard Edition, which includes pontoons to take off and land on water, as well as additional propellers and a battery).

Alan Ingranazzio (3 May 1966 / Russia, Siberia)
Lewis was Turkish man in all,
He insisted on whole,
And his movements, even his laugh
Were part of his love.
He played tricks dancing
Instead of using language,
He knew to express love or excuse
For being impolite or offending.
Moving his hands he teased his girl
And later was sorry about that.
Circling just on his hands
He used to say ''I love you all, friends''.
He simply adored his TV going all round it
Moving on his hands with cola can on his feet,
Never using TV remote control, he danced step
Bombarding its buttons with dancing shoes instead.
Seeing his girlfriend in a new car,
He at once rejected unhappy end,
Danced on the road and jumped so far,
That proposed her on the lap of her new boyfriend.

CBD stands for cannabidiol olive oil. The idea is used to be able to treat different symptoms actually even though its 2 alternatively controversial. There is likewise some confusion as to be able to just how the oil influences the body. The oil may possibly have health and fitness benefits and even such products who have typically the compound are lawful around several places at this time.
What the idea is
CBD is usually the cannabinoid, some sort of substance found in cannabis flower. The oil contains CBD concentrations of mit and the uses differ greatly. In cannabis, often the compound that is usually well-liked is delta nine tetrahydrocannabinol as well as THC. The idea is an active component seen in marijuana. Marijuana has CBD and THCA in addition to have different effects.
THC shifts the mind when one is using tobacco or even cooking with that. This kind of is because it is usually broken down simply by heat. Unlike THC, CBD isn’t psychoactive. Therefore your state of mind does not switch with use. However, important changes can be noted in the human body promoting medical benefits.
Hemp is a part of the hashish plant together with in most cases, it is far from processed. This is in which a good lots of the CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT is taken out. Marijuana and even hemp originated from marijuana sativa, but are quite diverse. Today, marijuana maqui berry farmers usually are breeding plants in order to have got high THC degrees. Hemp farmers do not require to enhance plants together with are used to produce the CBD oil.
Precisely how it works
Cannabinoids affect the figure by hanging themselves in order to pain. A few cannabinoids will be produced by means of the body and there are typically the CB1 and CB2 pain. CB1 receptors are located all of through the body having a great number of all of them being in the brain. Typically the receptors are responsible for mood, sensations, pain, movement, coordination, reminiscences, desire for food, thinking, and several various other functions. THC influences these types of receptors.
As for the CB2 receptors, they happen to be mainly through one’s defense system and impact suffering and inflammation. Though CBD does certainly not connect instantly here, the idea directs often the body to use cannabinoids even more.
CBD is beneficial to human health in a variety of ways. This is a natural discomfort reliever and has potent components. Over the kitchen counter drugs are used regarding pain relief and many individuals prefer a more organic alternative and this is usually where CBD oil will come in.

- Climate failure accounts for 42.1 per cent of long-term global risk
- This risk could cause 64 per cent GDP hit to the world’s vulnerable countries.
Climate action failure has been listed as the top global risk, with lenders asked to factor it in their credit assessment.
Climate failure accounts for 42.1 per cent of long-term global risk followed by extreme weather at 32.4 per cent and biodiversity loss at 27 per cent.
Others are natural resource crisis 23 per cent, human environmental damage 21.7 per cent, social cohesion erosion 19.1 per cent, involuntary migration 15 per cent and adverse tech advances at 14.9 per cent.
According to the Global Risk Report, 2022 by the World Economic Forum (WEF), climate change risk has the potential to crush the global economy, with financial institutions bearing the largest burden.
''It is on this basis the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26 ) – held in early November adopted the Glasgow Climate Pact which enlarges the role of public and private sector financing in limiting the impact of climate change,'' the report reads in part.
As a result, the principle of sustainability in operations has been adopted by numerous corporates, with some reporting climate-related risks and actions under a framework developed by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TFCD).
Established by the Financial Stability Board, the TFCD makes proposals for more effective climate-related disclosures that could promote more informed investment, credit, and insurance underwriting decisions.
This enables stakeholders to understand better the concentrations of carbon-related assets in the financial sector and the financial system’s exposures to climate-related risks.
In Kenya, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) issued Guidance on Climate-Related Risk Management to the banking sector in Mid October last year.
It aims at enabling banks to integrate climate-related risks into their governance, strategy, risk management and disclosure frameworks.
In an opinion piece published in Business Daily last year, CBK governor Patrick Njoroge says climate change poses three broad risks to banks.
They include physical risk to the loan portfolio arising from damage or loss caused by climate and weather-related events such as floods and drought.
It also poses a transition risk arising from the changes towards a low carbon (green) economy. Climate change also carries liability risk that could arise from banks being sued for financing companies whose activities negatively impact the environment.
According to the global risk report, climate change is already manifesting rapidly in the form of droughts, fires, floods, resource scarcity and species loss, among other impacts.
Agriculture and real estate have been cited as economic sectors likely to feel the pinch of the climate sector, with lenders advised to be more prudent in assessing credit risks.
This is likely to see banks hike interest rates and increase loss provisions as Kenya moves towards risk-based loan pricing.
According to WEF, the danger is particularly acute in Africa, with eight of the top 10 worst affected countries coming from that continent.
All 10 face GDP damage of over -70 per cent by 2100 under the current climate policy trajectory and a -40 per cent hit even if the world keeps to 1.5ºC.
A commissioned by Christian Aid late last year shows climate change could cause 64per cent GDP hit to the world’s vulnerable countries.
Dubbed 'Lost and Damaged', the report shows by 2050 and 2100 the economies of these countries are still expected to be higher than they are today.
A previous study by Diffenbaugh and Burke, using the same methodology showed that GDP per capita is already -13.6 per cent lower across Africa than it would have been without global heating between 1991-2010.
The country facing the worst projected GDP hit is Sudan, which in September was left reeling from heavy rains and flash floods affecting more than 300,000 people.

I received an Asus Zenfone 5 for review just a couple of days before the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival (KGAF) began giving me the perfect opportunity to test out the phone camera, something that is very important for me in a smart phone. Enjoy reading my KGAF post, but do let me know what you think of the photographs too.
When I ended my post on the 2014 edition of the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival (KGAF) last year, it was with mixed feelings. Though I had liked the installation / visual art on display, I hadn’t particularly enjoyed the way the events (or rather the heritage walks I had participated in) had been organised and conducted. I was upset enough to write a post on all that was wrong with the way the heritage walks were organised.
KGAF 2014 had also ended with uncertainty about the 2015 edition of the festival. A Kala Ghoda resident had filed a case complaining about the inconvenience and nuisance caused by the KGAF and the Bombay High Court was considering shifting the venue elsewhere.
Over the last one year, I followed the news on all developments pertaining to the KGAF and read the arguments and the counter arguments, the demands made and the compromises offered… till one day, I saw the announcement for the KGAF 2015. At Rampart Row. And to be held as usual from the first Saturday of February.
That was on 7th February and I visited the KGAF on that very day. And then again on the 8th. Then the 10th, the 12th and finally on the 13th. I went alone and with friends, attended programmes and also met up more friends. Want to see what I did at the KGAF 2015? Read on…
As usual, it was the visual/installation art that I tried to see first. I say tried to, for as usual there were crowds surrounding each installation. No, not to see it or read it but to have selfies or groupies taken. As usual.
See the photograph on the right and imagine this full of people and nothing visible. That’s what it was like on the first day (it was worse on the other days) and that’s also why I came early one morning to see the installations in peace and quiet, like I did in 2014. Sharing with you the visual/installation artwork I particularly liked:
The KGAF installation/visual art were located in two places: Rampart Row and the grounds of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Vaastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS). For some strange reason that I cannot even recall, I had never attempted to see the installations at the Museum in the previous years. But this year I did. In fact, I made it a point to visit the Museum grounds on all days I went to the KGAF — I liked the installations there so much.
In addition to wandering around in Rampart Row and the Museum grounds and looking at the visual / installation art, I also attended two wonderful programmes at the KGAF 2015.
The first was the release of “Books, Letterforms and Design in Asia“, a book on the design philosophy of Asian graphic design as seen by Suguira Kohei, perhaps the world’s best known book designer. Kirti Trivedi, a book designer from India and someone who has worked with Kohei, made a presentation on the book and its author. The session was a real treat as publications designed by Kohei and other Asian designers were on display.
The second was a performance by the Symphony Orchestra of India at Cross Maidan. Conducted by Zane Dalal, the 70-member strong orchestra played a range of music beginning with India’s National Anthem followed by some opera music, notably Carmen, and then Dvorak’s Slovenian Dance, and finally ended with music from The Magnificent Seven, My Fair Lady and Sound of Music. It was an evening to remember — some superlative music, the open air atmosphere, and the best rendition of the Jana Gana Mana. I have goosebumps even as I type this out.
One of the biggest surprises at the KGAF were the stalls and I loved looking at what they had on display and sale. Unlike in 2014, where I didn’t buy a single thing, I bought quite a bit this time — books, bookmarks, DIY craft stuff, paper, a mug, postcards, handkerchiefs. Here’s a look at some of the more interesting looking stalls.
The KGAF 2015 was the biggest yet with 450 events spread over 9 days on the themes of Children, Cinema, Dance Food, Heritage Walks, Literature, Music, Street and Stalls, Theatre, Urban Design and Architecture, Visual Art, and Workshops.
While the KGAF gets bigger and more crowded every year, some things never change. It was with a degree of familiarity and deja vu that I noticed:
- college students just loitering about the place and clicking selfies without bothering to read or understand the installations.
- more camera gear than people. I saw a photographer with a DSLR, a point-and-click, a mobile camera, a tripod and 4 different lenses. I counted.
- the clueless help desk of the KGAF organisers. When a friend went to ask details regarding photo ID for a heritage walk, they didn’t know about it. When my friend pointed that it was mentioned on the KGAF website, they just shrugged it away. No some things never change.
- the people I bump into at the KGAF, and only at the KGAF, every year – bloggers, photographers, former office colleagues, etc.
Some things, however, I noticed for the first time:
- Polite and well-behaved school kids. In fact, the school children were better behaved than the college crowd and adults.
- Groups of well-dressed young women with hair dos and make up that only a parlour can achieve posing and having photographs taken. I wondered how they managed to walk in their heels and the heat without ruining their foundation or hair.
- Sponsorships for the various art installations. Some of them were so prominent that I cropped them out of the photographs, wherever I could. While it is good that artists are getting sponsorships, it was a little difficult for me to come to terms with such in-your-face product placement.
The KGAF 2015 was the 16th edition of this iconic art festival — bigger, but not necessarily better. Every iconic annual event reaches a point where the organisers have to think about the direction that the the event has to take.
I think that moment came for KGAF in 2014, but nothing seems to have been done. I’m talking in particular about the crowds and crowd control.
Dear KGAF organisers, I love this annual arts festival that you put up year after year and against all odds and expectations.
But I would like you to listen to what my friend, who visited the KGAF at Rampart Row on Friday evening, had to say. My friend, an artist herself, shifted from Delhi to Mumbai last year and this was her first time at the KGAF. Having heard about it from me and also having read my blog posts, she was quite keen to experience it. She was in and out in 5 minutes.
This is not an art festival. Where is the art? I can only see crowds of people taking selfies.
I agree that visual / installation art is just one component of the KGAF; and there are many other events. But it is a big component and often the first point of entry for many first-timers to the KGAF. If that becomes inaccessible, then what is the point of an Arts festival, without the arts?
Something to think about, I say.

I bought a new LG CX, which is outputting to my beam via hdmi. I also have a pair of Play 1s as rears, and sub. Everything works great from the internal TV apps and via Sky Q
This issue I have is with my PC, which is connected to the TV via hdmi. I'm trying to get it to output Dolby 5.1 but because it knows it's connected to a TV it won't. I don't think there's a way around for this without messing about with new sound card/optical cables or connecting straight to the beam from the PC - unless anyone knows different?
However, the PC can output atmos (I've installed the codec) and as the CX can down-convert that to Dolby digital for the beam (as I understand it) I figured I could do that. When I try, the Sonos app reports that it's receiving a Dolby 5.1 signal, but I still get nothing from the rear speakers. What am I missing?
Any help appreciated. Spent a fortune on the PC and it's annoying only to get stereo out of it..

USING THE GENERAL COLLECTIONS
GENERAL COLLECTIONS EXTERNAL SITES
|Genealogies, Local and Family Histories, City Directories
From the Library's large collection of genealogies and regional histories you can find information on women ranging from an elusive birth date to a detailed account of the lives of several generations. Family histories can be surprisingly intimate and, in this age of self-publishing, appear in great numbers. Local histories may explain workings of nearby factories and businesses, conflicts within churches or town government, or compelling issues confronting a locale—all of which may tell us about the lives of women. Background on the places a woman lived—her schools, churches, movie theaters, gardens—are needed to write biographies and also contribute to other aspects of women's history. These volumes are rarely well indexed.
American Memory contains many multiformat collections that focus on the history and culture of particular regions of the United States. See a list of some of these collections. New collections can be found by searching American Memory.
Telephone and City Directories
The Library also holds a vast number of United States telephone and city directories, many of which are available on microform. City directories are rich in unexpected bits of information; in addition to names and addresses, they often list spouses, occupations, and boarders, and some indicate race and marital status.
Classified sections with names of businesses, organizations, and public institutions in the town reveal women's options in choosing churches, schools, clubs, newspapers, or hat makers. To discover the women's organizations in Whatcom, Washington, in 1902, or the number of midwives in Honolulu in 1936, look in the appropriate city directories.
Browsing the 1863 Washington and Georgetown Directory shows that the most frequent occupations given for women were boardinghouse keeper, dressmaker, and milliner. The directory names one accoucheur and several women who were hucksters.9
Scanning runs of directories for one town or state might show when women began to appear in town offices or in traditionally male occupations. Careful searching can uncover details that enrich our picture of women's lives in specific areas and at specific times. The Local History and Genealogy Reading Room has a sizable reference collection and is staffed by specialists who can provide assistance in using these sources.

Dordrecht (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈdɔrdrɛxt]), sometimes called Dordt ([dɔrt]), is a city and municipality in the western Netherlands, located in the province of South Holland. It is the fourth largest city of the province, having a population of 118,782 in 2014. The municipality covers the entire Dordrecht Island, also often called Het Eiland van Dordt (the Island of Dordt), bordered by the rivers Oude Maas, Beneden Merwede, Nieuwe Merwede, Hollands Diep, and Dordtsche Kil. Dordrecht is the largest and most important city in the Drechtsteden and is also part of the Randstad, the main conurbation in the Netherlands. Dordrecht is the oldest city in the Holland area and has a rich history and culture.
The name Dordrecht comes from Thuredriht (ca 1120), Thuredrecht (ca 1200). The name seems to mean 'thoroughfare'; a ship-canal or -river through which ships were pulled by rope from one river to another, as here from the Dubbel to the Merwede, or vice versa. Earlier etymologists had assumed that the 'drecht' suffix came from Latin 'trajectum', a ford, but this was rejected in 1996. The Drecht is now supposed to have been derived from 'draeg', which means to pull, tow or drag. Inhabitants of Dordrecht are Dordtenaren (singular: Dordtenaar). Dordrecht is informally called Dordt by its inhabitants. In earlier centuries, Dordrecht was a major trade port, well known to British merchants, and was called Dordt in English.
Dordrecht lies nestled in the Stormberg Mountains, just north of Queenstown between Middelburg and Mthatha. Its many historical buildings and museum display turn-of-the-century furniture and clothing. Dodrecht is a small town surrounded by a number of farms with a large number of merino sheep and cattle ranchers in the region. Farmers around Dordrecht also grow potatoes. Dordrecht prides itself on a number of historical sites including a unique 1873 colonial country B&B. There are farmstay holidays available in the region. They are well known in South Africa for trout fishing, pheasant hunting and game hunting. The town is also situated near to the Western Drakensberg Mountains where the only snow skiing resort is in South Africa.
Founded on 16 August 1883 as Dordrechtsche Football Club (DFC), it became a professional club in 1954 upon the introduction of professional football to the Netherlands. The next significant event was in 1972, at which time the professional and amateur branches of DFC Dordrecht severed their ties. The amateur branch remained DFC Dordrecht, while its professional counterpart became simply FC Dordrecht. Following their reorganisation in 1979 (which led to a change in name to Drechtsteden'79 (DS'79) - referring to the region Drechtsteden), the club was promoted to the Eredivisie in 1983. This however was not to last and was immediately followed by a relegation back to the Eerste Divisie. They went back up to the Eredivisie in 1988/1989 season.
In 1990, another investor gave the club its third name of Dordrecht'90. The club just missed promotion to the Eredivisie in 1991, but was finally admitted when Dordrecht'90 surprisingly merged with neighbouring Schiedamse Voetbal Vereniging (SVV) of Schiedam. The club used the name of SVV/Dordrecht'90 for two seasons, but in 1993, the 'SVV' was dropped and the club was renamed Dordrecht'90. Finally in 2002, the club was again renamed, to the name it bore from 1972 to 1979: FC Dordrecht and that is how the name stands today. For a number of years it was one of the clubs with the lowest average attendance of all Dutch professional teams.
Undoubtedly the most famous player to wear a Dordrecht shirt was Johan Cruijff, who played 3 friendly matches for the club in January 1981.

WASHINGTON — For months, government lawyers and economists worked behind the scenes to develop a trade case against China. Then last month came a eureka moment: They confirmed the existence of a Chinese subsidy program for automobiles and parts that in their view violated international trade rules. They finished a complaint, circulated it among agencies and proposed a time frame for filing.
That’s when President Obama’s political team took over, providing a textbook example of how an incumbent can harness the power of the office to bolster the case for re-election. Rather than leave it to the trade office to announce the complaint, Mr. Obama decided to do it himself. Aides scheduled it for a campaign swing to the auto-dependent battleground state of Ohio, leaked it to the state’s largest newspaper, then sent other journalists a link to the resulting story plus voter-friendly talking points.
Every president lives at the intersection of policy and politics, never more so than during a campaign season. Locked in a tight race with Mitt Romney, Mr. Obama and his team have been pulling every lever of the federal government within reach, announcing initiatives aimed at critical constituencies, dispatching cabinet secretaries to competitive areas, coordinating campaign events to match popular government actions and forestalling or even reversing other government decisions that could hurt the president’s chances of a second term.
On Friday, Mr. Obama will designate Chimney Rock in Colorado a national monument, preserving thousands of acres and aiding tourism in another swing state, a decision shared Wednesday with a Denver newspaper. When he flew to Iowa last month, Mr. Obama arrived just as his administration announced drought relief for farmers and released a report promoting his support for wind power. After critics attacked him for inhibiting oil and gas production by considering an obscure lizard for the endangered species list, the administration decided it wasn’t so endangered after all.
Some of the most significant policy announcements of recent months were keyed to important voter blocs. Mr. Obama reversed position to endorse same-sex marriage before attending a big-dollar fund-raiser with gay and lesbian leaders. Just before addressing a national Latino organization, he used executive power to allow illegal immigrants to remain in the country if they had come as children.
White House officials acknowledged that they calibrate announcements and trips to maximize the advantages of incumbency but said the policy decisions themselves were made on substance. They also noted that while cabinet secretaries travel to swing states, they also travel to states that are not competitive. And they said that on some level it is impossible to separate the candidate from the president.
“The president is not going to put off what he believes are important actions, such as protecting jobs for American workers, until after the election,” said Eric Schultz, a White House spokesman. “These decisions are made on the merits by professionals with the relevant policy expertise, are often months in the making and always reflect the president’s longstanding positions.”
Republicans, naturally, see it differently. “He looks like he is aiding his re-election with the power of the Oval Office,” said Matt Schlapp, who was White House political director for President George W. Bush. “He looks worried, reactive. It’s fair to ask that if this China decision was for policy issues alone then why wait until right before the first debate to announce it?”
Each White House tests the boundaries. President Bill Clinton used the Lincoln Bedroom to entertain financial donors. Mr. Bush’s strategist, Karl Rove, oversaw an “asset deployment team” that managed trips and grant announcements. Both got in trouble. Mr. Clinton’s fund-raising triggered Congressional investigations while the Office of Special Counsel, an independent agency, concluded that the Bush White House violated federal law by creating a “political boiler room” coordinating campaign activities.
The same agency determined last week that Kathleen Sebelius, the health and human services secretary, violated the law by advocating Mr. Obama’s re-election during an official trip to North Carolina. The trip was reclassified to political and the cost reimbursed. “Keeping the roles straight can be a difficult task, particularly on mixed trips that involve both campaign and official stops on the same day,” Ms. Sebelius wrote investigators.
Other cabinet secretaries have had active travel schedules to important electoral states. Since July, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has traveled to at least 15 states for public events, according to his schedule, including Wisconsin, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Florida and Colorado. During the same period in 2010, he traveled to 10 states, according to agency records. At various stops, Mr. Salazar promoted Mr. Obama’s energy and conservation policies.
Mr. Salazar took an airboat tour of the Everglades in Florida days after Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack visited to announce $80 million for an Everglades protection program. Mr. Vilsack hinted at why that small chunk of Florida had received so much attention when he appeared at the opening of Mr. Obama’s campaign office in Port St. Lucie. “You win Florida and you win the presidency,” Mr. Vilsack said at the event. “And I have been told you win this region, you win Florida.”
While announcing new initiatives during campaign season is standard practice, Mr. Obama’s team also seems focused on stopping policies that may be politically hazardous. In June, the Interior Department rejected their own plans to designate a lizard known as the dunes sagebrush as endangered by oil and gas activities. After analysis, the department declared that “the lizard is no longer in danger of extinction.”
“The administration did not want to face criticism from the oil and gas industry during an election year,” said Taylor McKinnon, a public lands advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity.
Blake Androff, an Interior Department spokesman, said the decision was “based entirely on the best available science and in accordance with the law,” not politics, and came only after industry and state officials agreed to voluntary conservation measures.
He added that Mr. Salazar’s travel was also extensive in non-election years, reflecting the job of overseeing hundreds of millions of acres of public land. A spokesman for Mr. Vilsack said his Florida trip was planned so he could spend one day on official business and another stumping for Mr. Obama on his own time. But on Tuesday, the same day a reporter inquired about the mixing of politics and policy on the trip, the Obama campaign sent a check for $1,606.24 to reimburse taxpayers for airfare and hotel — timing that Agriculture Department officials said was a coincidence.
When it came to the China case, officials said it was in the works for much of the year but took months to find evidence of unfair trading practices. They went down a number of blind alleys before getting the first indication of the Chinese subsidy program over the summer. Then last month, they determined it was real and deemed it a violation. At that point, officials said, there was no justification to delay filing.
And if it happened to help the campaign, Josh Earnest, a White House spokesman, told reporters, “I’ll let our opponents and all you guys assess whether or not there’s a political benefit for the president.”

Understanding Changes in Lower-Limb Muscle Volume After Amputation
If you or someone you know has a lower-limb amputation, you might have noticed volume differences in the residual limb, mainly when a prosthetic limb is often used.
A paper recently published in the Journal of Biomechanics detailed a study that sought to understand muscle volume differences in individuals with lower-limb loss. The researchers hope that the findings can help improve surgical techniques, rehabilitation, and prosthetic devices to enhance prosthetic users’ functional capability.
When an individual loses a major limb, the body changes to compensate for the loss. However, these compensatory strategies lead to muscle hypertrophy (enlargement) and atrophy (decrease in size) caused by over or under using specific muscles.
Since these physical changes are expected, researchers sought to measure the changes in residual limb size in individuals with above- and below-knee limb loss. The study used high-resolution MRI to determine muscle volume changes and predict these changes using the length, height, mass, and width of the femur (bone from hip to knee) and tibia (the larger bone between the knee and ankle).
Twelve individuals with lower-limb loss participated in the study. Their data were compared to six matched control subjects. Among the control subjects, those with unilateral below-knee limb loss showed muscle volume loss in the whole residual limb, while their sound side leg had minor volume changes. These findings show proof for a compensation strategy dominated by the sound side leg.
On the other hand, control subjects with bilateral above-knee limb loss showed significant muscle volume increase in the short adductor muscles. The adductor muscles pull the thighs together to the midline of the body. There is also a considerable volume decrease in the longer adductor muscles, hamstrings, and rectus femoris.
Single-Sided Below-Knee Limb Loss
After running MRI scans on both the control groups and study participants, the researchers confirmed that the total muscle volume in the residual limb and the minor volume changes in the sound side leg show a compensation strategy dominated by the intact leg. But the rectus femoris and lateral hamstrings in the participants’ intact leg were considerably smaller than those in the control subjects.
Furthermore, the researchers found that the participants’ gluteus medius in the residual limb was smaller than in the intact limb. This is most likely a result of compensation movements that decrease outward movements around the residual limb’s socket interface at the knee to avoid pain. Because of these compensatory strategies, there is a near absence of power generation in the residual limb knee at mid-stance. There is also reduced knee power absorption during swing and push-off. This explains why knee extensors in the residual limb are typically atrophied.
Bilateral Above-Knee Limb Loss
In participants with bilateral above-knee limb loss, the researchers discovered a compensation strategy dominated by the gluteus medius (one of the muscles underneath the buttock muscle), short adductor muscles, and hip flexors. Meanwhile, vasti muscles (three muscles located on the inside, middle, and outside of the thigh) are rendered functionally redundant, which explains significant volume reduction in the area.
Findings also show that the biarticular hamstrings in those with bilateral above-knee limb loss are significantly reduced. This is because these muscles are typically not used at the same level before limb loss. In non-amputees, the biarticular hamstrings are essential for maintaining postural stability. It controls and coordinates the hip and knee joints in response to change in upper body movements.
The results show that limb loss changes the function of muscles, which often results in poorly used muscles. The researchers noted a need to investigate the role of these underused muscles in the daily movement of individuals with limb loss.

Information for Patients
Anthrax is a disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, a germ that lives in soil. Many people know about it from the 2001 bioterror attacks. In the attacks, someone purposely spread anthrax through the U.S. mail. This killed five people and made 22 sick.
Anthrax is rare. It affects animals such as cattle, sheep, and goats more often than people. People can get anthrax from contact with infected animals, wool, meat, or hides. It can cause three forms of disease in people. They are
- Cutaneous, which affects the skin. People with cuts or open sores can get it if they touch the bacteria.
- Inhalation, which affects the lungs. You can get this if you breathe in spores of the bacteria.
- Gastrointestinal, which affects the digestive system. You can get it by eating infected meat.
Antibiotics often cure anthrax if it is diagnosed early. But many people don't know they have anthrax until it is too late to treat. A vaccine to prevent anthrax is available for people in the military and others at high risk.

At least R2 billion (ZMK1,47 billion) had been spent to support emerging farmers in the past 22 years by the South African government, yet there was not much evidence of where and how this money had been spent. So say dr. Langa Simele of the African Farmers Assosciation of South Africa (Afasa), acting as chief whip at Afasa’s 2016 annual congress.
“Farmers have always supported the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, but now we look back and wonder how many black commercial farmers are here as a result of these programmes,” said Simele.
She said what farmers wanted was to be able to run viable enterprises, supply local markets and take care of their families and their staff. State supported projects were fragmented said Simele and did not develop the capacity of farmers who were perpetually dependent on the state for support. farmer capacity
“We are using our rangeland to the maximum capacity so we can’t increase the numbers in the national herd, but we can upgrade our herds and our animals for better productivity,” she said.
Joe Mnyengo, Afasa representative from the Eastern Cape in South Africa, said that farmers without tools and without capacity were not farmers, they were the laughing stock of white commercial farmers.
“I ask government to exclude tenderpreneurs (those who are just living of government tenders) from the system, especially from communal lands. Farmers have the practical skills to do what is necessary on their farms. If we were given the money to fence, we could fence, but the fencing contracts go those who are just there for the tenders.”
Myengo said a lack of transparency was a problem.
“Some time ago the previous minister (Tina Joemat-Pettersson) presented a number (30) of tractors to farmers which subsequently disappeared into thin air. Later I saw the implements stripped off the tractors at the Tsolo College of Agriculture. Where is the investigation report on this matter?”
Consensus from provincial representatives was that the process of farmer support, land reform and transformation across the board from all the provinces was flawed and had failed.

The Pines is a section of land leased by the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority to the local cycling club. There is a nice super fast buffed singletrack loop all through the parcel of land. As you can guess it winds through numerous pines (short bars help a lot) with very tight fast corners. I suggest a visit to the local bike shop, Pedal Power, they can point you in the right direction or hook you up with a ride. This is a fun trail to do with a small group (2 or 3). Connect several of the trails to builld a longer ride.
How to get there:
Highway 401 west to the Woodstock turn off. Turn right at the Blandford Mall and head north. Turn right just before the Innerkip bridge over Pittock Lake. Follow the gravel road for 0.5 of a Km. The trails are on your left.
Although this land is leased to the cycling club it is a multi-use area. There are numerous other users so practice good trail etiquette.

The case involved a 72-year old Saudi female patient who was treated for fungal keratitis. Aspergillus species was confirmed. The patient showed mild liver impairment upon admission. Antimicrobial eye drop solutions which comprise the medicines for the treatment regimen included antibiotics (gentamicin, cefazoline, ceftazidine, and moxifloxacin) and antifungal (amphotericin B and, voriconazole) that were started on day one, as well as, voriconazole systemic. On day 9 of the hospitalization, the liver function tests (LFTs) revealed significantly higher values compared to day zero. All medicines were continued at their usual doses and no adverse drug reaction was reported. On Day 13, the patient experienced abdominal pain, hallucination, nausea, tachycardia, and vomiting, in addition to elevated LFTs. At this time, oral voriconazole was discontinued. Patient was discharged with no further reports. An analysis of adverse drug event (ADE) report was performed and results showed that systemic voriconazole is the possible cause of the significant increase in LFTs and the manifested symptoms of liver toxicity.
