The Master’s degree in Modern and Contemporary Asian Art provides students with critical tools for understanding Asian art – a growing field with increasing significance in the international art market. The program examines how Asian art has developed in the modern and contemporary period in relation to its complex historical backdrop. Students are exposed to Asian artists and art production both within Asia and in the extensive Asian art diaspora around the globe. The program equips graduates with expertise for application in the professional art sphere – from museums and art fairs to public and private art institutions worldwide. Graduates take up a range of positions in galleries, art fairs, museums, and auction houses, working in major cultural centers around the world. Graduates may also embark on doctoral studies for deeper specialization toward an academic career or a museum curatorship.
The MA in Modern and Contemporary Asian Art prepares students to specialize in the diverse and exciting field of Asian art. Graduates of this program will contribute to a growing area of expertise in the international art world where Asia and Asian art plays an increasingly significant role. The program is designed for students who wish to gain an in-depth understanding of modern and contemporary art from Asia and who intend to pursue careers in this growing and dynamic field.

The next in our Isolated Moments series, aiming to keep spirits buoyed and creativity alive during COVID-19 global social isolating and quarantining measures, comes from Fermynwoods Associate Artist Virginie Litzler and her assistants Augusta and Josefine, currently in lockdown in Belgium.
In 2016, I was leading a workshop with Rockingham Primary School in Corby, about observing our surroundings through various ways. A big part of it was supposed to happen in the woods nearby, however with strong rain joining us mid-morning a plan B had to be put in place very quickly for some forty students. As we couldn’t go outdoors we brought the outside in. This workshop draws on that activity to solve a similar problem.
- First, try to collect as many different colours of paper that you can find. Post-It notes are great but you could use any type of paper with some blue tack. You could even make your own by colouring some basic white printer paper.
- Now go around your home and select a window which offers a view point – a view that you enjoy or one that you rarely look at.
- Spend some time looking out (you might have already done quite a bit of that during lockdown). What does the view offer? Colours, forms, shadows?
- Choose a detail from the view that caught your attention, follow the outline and try to reproduce it on your window by sticking your coloured paper directly on the window pane.
- Try to resemble the forms outside by changing the shape of your paper by turning, folding layering and accumulating. Start by playing with your full size paper and only use scissors at a later stage.
- From there you can expand towards the surrounding detail or choose to use your paper for a bigger surface such as sky, buildings, trees …
- I recommend you draw your attention to the things you haven’t noticed before and let the window fill up with the outdoor scenery.
- Take pictures of the result from different angles and at different times of the day.
See how your new image changes with you passing by. Perhaps insects will be attracted to the new colours. Does the passing light of the day make it move or glow? You might even get some nice feedback from your neighbours – after my experiment I received a text message from our concierge saying that professional window cleaners will come on Sunday!

For at least the first 20 years after planting, expect a red oak to gain 2 feet of height per year. Some red oaks will grow up to 36 inches in a few years. Red oak is a hardy, drought-tolerant tree that can tolerate a wide range of soil types and temperatures.
How can I make my red oak grow faster?
The university of florida ifas extension advises to plant the live oak in moist, well-drained, acidic soil for the fastest growth. The tree will grow in many different types of soil. Live oaks can be grown from seed or cuttings. Live oak seedlings should be planted in a sunny location with good drainage.
Are red oak trees hard to grow?
Red oak is a hardy tree that can be grown in usda plant hardiness zones 3 through 8. The oak tree has a spread of 45 to 50 feet per year and mature heights of up to 75 feet. It can be grown in full sun or partial shade. The tree is native to the eastern United States, but it has been introduced to many other parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America.
In North America, the tree was introduced in the early 1900s and has since spread throughout the continent, reaching as far south as Florida. The red oak can grow in a wide range of soil types, from sandy loam to clay loams and sand and gravel soils. Because of its fast growth rate, it is often planted as an annual or biennial plant.
How long does it take for a red oak tree to grow from seed?
White oak, live oak, swamp white oak, and bur oak are some of the oaks that mature in one year. In the United States, the average age of an oak tree is about 20 years, but in some parts of the world, it can be as long as 50 years or more.
The average life span of a tree in the U.S. is 50 to 60 years; in Europe and Asia, trees can live for more than 100 years and in Australia, they can grow to be over 1,000 years old.
Is red oak A good tree?
The northern red oak makes a great shade tree with its fast growth and dense canopy, because of its ability to thrive in varying conditions. Birds, squirrels, deer, and even mammals like the acorns. Northern red oaks are native to the eastern United States and Canada, but they are also found in parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America, Australia and New Zealand.
Do red oaks have acorns?
The White Oak group of trees take two growing seasons to mature, while the Red Oak group takes one growing season. It is made up of two parts: the seed and the wood. The seed is a small, round ball of wood about the size of a grain of rice.
When it is ready to be eaten, it falls to the ground and begins to sprout. After a few days, the sprouts begin to turn brown and turn yellow. This is called the “seedling stage.” The sprouting process takes about a month. At this point, a tree is considered mature and can be harvested.
If the tree has not been harvested by the end of this time period, then it will be called a “young tree.” Young trees are harvested when they have not yet reached their full size and are still growing. They are called “old trees” because they are too old to harvest.
What is the lifespan of a red oak tree?
The red oak is found throughout the eastern U.S. and northern Canada. It is also found in parts of Mexico, Central America, and South America.
How fast does an oak tree grow per year?
Oaks are fast-growing and strong shade trees. They can grow from 1 to 3 feet a year. When oak trees are young, they can grow up to 3 feet per year, but as they grow older, they can reach up to 5 feet in height. The bark of an oak tree is very hard and durable.
It is used to make a variety of products, such as furniture, flooring, and building materials. The bark is also used as a natural insect repellent. Oak trees are also a good source of calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, manganese, copper, zinc, selenium, chromium and copper sulfate.
Are oak trees deep-rooted?
Oak trees develop very deep rooting systems that branch off of its main taproot. The tap root’s prominence fades and is replaced by many large roots that form the root system. The roots are up to 20 feet in length and penetrate the soil up to 4 feet deep. Lateral root systems are the most common type of root structure found in a tree.
They are found on the trunk, branches, and trunks of most trees and shrubs. Lateral roots are also found at the base of the tree trunk and in the crowns of many trees. The roots of a trunk or trunk-like structure are called trunk roots, while the roots on a branch or trunk are referred to as branch roots. Branch roots can be either lateral or lateral-lateral.
A lateral branch root is one that penetrates deeper into the ground than a lateral trunk root. For example, a root that is 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) in diameter can penetrate as deep as 2 feet (60 cm). Branch root diameters range from 0.5 to 1.0 inches (2 to 3 cm), while branch diameter ranges from 1 to 2 inches.

Colleen Murphy was born in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec in 1954 and grew up in northern Ontario. Her first play, Fire Engine Red (1985), was written for radio and won the CBC Literary Competition. She won the competition a second time with her radio play Pumpkin Eaters (1990).
The same year she completed her first radio play she joined Tarragon Theatre's playwrights unit. Two years later Tarragon produced her first stage play, All Destinations are Cancelled. So bad was her experience from the critical response to the play and her disagreement about how the play was interpreted for the stage that she left the theatre for a decade. During that time she turned to film-making. Over the next decade Murphy produced eight films including five shorts all exploring intimate, difficult personal situations and social justice issues notably pertaining to homelessness, Indigenous rights, and sexuality, and war: Putty Worm (1993; silent film/directed/wrote); The Feeler (1995; directed/co-wrote), War Holes (2002; directed/wrote), Girl with Dog (2005; directed/wrote), and Out in the Cold (2008; directed).
Like her shorts, her feature length films also tackle difficult subjects. Described as a “raw love story,” Termini Station (1989), written by Collen Murphy and directed by her husband Alan King (they had married in 1987), explores the highly troubled relationship between an alcoholic opera-loving mother and her daughter, a retail clerk and part-time prostitute, both of whom have dreams of escaping the trap of small town life. The film received six Genie Award nominations in 1990: Best Picture, Best Actress (Dewhurst, Follows), Best Original Screenplay (Murphy), Best Overall Sound (Sal Grimaldi, Joe Grimaldi, Dino Pigat and Peter Shewchuk) and Best Sound Editing (Terry Burke, David Templeton, Ralph Brunjes, and Brian Ravok). Her next two feature films Shoemaker (1996) and Desire (2000) amongst them garnered another five Genie nominations.
Although she went back to work on stage plays with the writing of Down in Adoration Falling (1994), this play has yet to be produced. Her 1998 drama Beating Heart Cadaver when she was playwright-in-residence at Necessary Angel Theatre. The play was directed by Richard Rose and nominated in 1999 for both a Chalmers Award and Governor General’s Award. She followed this success with another in the 2002 musical production of The Piper, a satiric or allegorical interpretation of the Pied Piper of Hamelin set within a political context. And shortly after that with The December Man (2007), her most award-winning play about the gut-wrenching guilt suffered by a young male student ordered out of the engineering classroom during the Montreal massacre at the École Polytechnique in 1989. It won the 2007 Governor General's Literary Award for Drama, the 2008 Carol Bolt Award and the 2006 Enbridge Playwrights Award.
Not shying away from difficult subjects, Murphy took on another major Canadian tragedy in her award-winning play Pig Girl, which presented a fictionalized rendering based on the horrific murders of Indigenous women by Robert Picton. Premiering at the Theatre Network in Edmonton in 2013, it stirred up deep controversy about cultural appropriation. Some, though, see it as Alex Ramon did after its production at Fidborough Theatre, London, England in 2015: “The play is constructed, essentially, as two interwoven two-handers. Murphy juxtaposes the torment of a woman held in a barn by a volatile captor with the ordeal experienced by the woman’s sister, as she attempts to convince a police officer to begin the investigation of her missing sibling. These two separate male/female encounters posit a parallel between the horrific crimes occurring in the barn and the wider cultural abuses of a society that seems indifferent to the fate of drug-addicted sex workers, especially those from non-white backgrounds” (Ramon, The Public Review, 2015).
In 2013, Murphy came out with yet another heart-wrenching play, Armstrong’s War, about a young girl reading to a wounded young veteran of Afghanistan war. She continues to produce for both stage and film.
Murphy has a distinguished career served as playwright-/writer-/artist-in-residence at a variety of institutions including: Necessary Angel (1996-2002); University of Regina (2006-2007); Tapestry New Opera, Toronto (2008); McMaster University (2010); Finborough Theatre, London, UK (2010-2012); University of Guelpg (2011); Playright’s Retreat Stratford Festival (2011); Factory Theatre (1911-1912); The NotaBle Acts Theatre Festival, Fredericton, NB; Berton House Writers’ Retreat, Dawson City YK (2013); Edna Staebler Laurier Writer in Residence, Wilfrid Laurier University (2014); Lee Playwright in Residence, University of Alberta, AB (2014-2017); National Theatre School of Canada, Montreal (2016); Orion Visiting Artist, University of Victoria BC (2017-2018); University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, NB (2018).
Included in her papers are drafts/editions of plays/scripts, libretti, publicity, correspondence, house programs, sound recordings (cd's, mini-cassettes), photos, slides, videorecordings (cassettes, dvd).

Chances are you've probably never, ever heard of Darcie Deaville, Jane Gillman or Rod MacDonald. Not yet anyway.
All three are up-and-coming young contemporary folk singers with suitcases full of impressive reviews to go along with that obscurity. And all three are gifted songwriters paying their dues on their hungry march toward greater recognition.The Deaville-Gillman-MacDonald Band will perform Tuesday, July 2, at 8 p.m. at the Social Work Auditorium on the University of Utah campus. Tickets are $7 in advance, $8 at the door and are available at Acoustic Music, Intermountain Guitar and Banjo, Smokey's Records, Great Salt Lake Guitar in Provo and Nu Sound Music in Roy.
In addition to writing and singing her own songs, Deaville is best known as the purple-haired fiddler from Canada who has earned a solid reputation playing with more famous performers such as Cathy Fink, Robin Flower, Peter Rowan and John McEuen. Her most recent release is "The Last Hitchhiker on the Lost Highway."
Gillman, who comes from the Austin, Texas, folk music scene, is a guitar picker who also plays the dulcimer and harmonica. She just released "Jane Gillman" on the Green Linnet label - an album that was voted one of the best acoustic albums of the year by Folk Roots Magazine. The album features instrumental and vocal backups by the likes of John Gorka, Mary-Chapin Carpenter and Johnny Cunningham.
Rod MacDonald is hardly a new voice in folk music. He's been playing the Greenwich Village folk scene for most of the last two decades, and his songs have been recorded by Jean Redpath, Garnet Rogers, Shawn Colvin, Christine Lavin and others. He spends most of his time touring Europe.

"GSK marketed their antidepressant drug Paxil as being suitable for children under the age of 18 when it was approved for adult use only, distributed a fraudulent medical journal article and convinced doctors to prescribe more of their drugs by lavishing them with gifts such as meals and spa treatments."
Natural News – October 14, 2013
by Sue Woledge
Pharmaceutical companies have racked up over $11 billion in fines over the last three years for many cases of criminal misconduct. Twenty-six pharmaceutical companies around the world, including eight of the ten largest companies, have been charged and fined for various criminal behaviors, including withholding safety data for new drug approval applications and promoting drug uses beyond the conditions they have been approved to treat.
According to two papers published in the New England Journal of Medicine, public and professional trust is being eroded by the regular criminal wrongdoings of the pharmaceutical industry, and lawyers have warned that the fines are not sufficient to change the criminal behavior of the industry.
The largest fine of $3 billion was paid by Glaxosmithkline (GSK) in 2012 after they were found guilty of withholding safety data, marketing drugs for unauthorized uses and cheating the US government’s Medicaid system in the largest case of healthcare fraud ever. GSK marketed their antidepressant drug Paxil as being suitable for children under the age of 18 when it was approved for adult use only, distributed a fraudulent medical journal article and convinced doctors to prescribe more of their drugs by lavishing them with gifts such as meals and spa treatments.
Other companies have received fines ranging from $420 million to a massive $2.3 billion, but a lawyer at Boston University has pointed out that, although the fines are huge, when compared to the massive profits that these companies are making, they amount to only a small percentage of total revenue. The fact is that the drug companies consider the fines to be a cost of doing business, and when the fines are paid, the government that allows this criminal behavior to continue benefits by recouping a portion of industry profits.
Meanwhile, pharmaceutical associations are trying to work out how to resolve the problems. With so much criminal wrongdoing, the doctors whose role it is to prescribe these companies’ products are now finding that their trust has been broken. Many physicians report that they are now dismissing industry-funded clinical trials and research. Due to the regular scandals, patients are also realizing that the industry can’t be trusted, contributing, no doubt, to the rise in interest in natural medicines.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - During the first six weeks of the Major League Lacrosse season, the Boston Cannons' offense played a major role in the team's success. However, it was the defense's turn on Saturday night as the Cannons limited Charlotte to just six goals en route to a 16-8 victory over the Hounds in front of 7,034 fans at American Legion Memorial Stadium.
Goalkeeper Jordan Burke earned Bud Light MLL Player of the Game honors after making 16 saves and holding the Hounds to just six goals on 43 shots.
After attackman Billy Bitter gave the Hounds a 1-0 lead just 2:19 into the first quarter, the Cannons answered with a pair of goals from midfielder Kevin Buchanan to take a 2-1 advantage with 6:21 remaining in the stanza.
The teams traded goals before Charlotte defenseman Ricky Pages tied the game at 3-3 by scoring an unassisted goal with 6:39 remaining in the first half.
But, the Cannons took control by scoring the next six goals to gain a 9-3 advantage with 11:08 remaining in the third quarter. Attackman Matt Poskay scored three of his game-high five goals during the run while attackman Ryan Boyle tallied a goal with an assist.
Attackman Jeremy Boltus ended the Cannons' run by scoring with one second remaining in the quarter off an assist from attackman Matt Danowski.
Led by two goals from Poskay, the Cannons put together a six-point run over the first eight minutes of the fourth quarter to take a 15-4 lead. With 4:41 remaining in regulation, midfielder Stephen Berger scored a two-point goal to end the Cannons' run and close the margin to 15-6.
With 3:03 remaining, Boyle scored off an assist from midfielder Paul Rabil to give Boston a 16-6 advantage before Danowski answered with a two-point goal with 54 seconds remaining. But, the Hounds were unable to get any closer.
While Burke led the Cannons to the victory, Poskay tallied five goals against the Hounds for the second time this season. Boyle, who had been held without a point against Long Island last week, scored twice with three assists in the victory.
Boltus scored two goals for the Hounds while Berger and Danowski each added a two-point goal with an assist.
The Hounds outshot Boston by a 43-37 margin and had a 33-30 advantage in ground balls.

From the looks of some of the Google searches that have been attracting readers to the blog today, it appears that a sub-20 VIX that is more than 10% below the VIX’s 10 day simple moving average has a lot of people wondering about overbought signals.
- Focus on the relative values of the VIX (i.e., with respect to a recent trading range) instead of absolute values
- Consider the cash VIX in the context of expectations for future volatility
- The more extreme readings give more reliable signals
- History favors mean reversion for the VIX
- Mean reversion does not always happen quickly, so scale in to a position
- If you follow good risk control, VIX signals are one of the few ones for which it is acceptable to add to losing positions (assuming the mean reversion signal is still valid)
- Be sure to start taking profits in no more than 1-2 weeks
So…that is my thinking. A sub-20 VIX? Not really relevant. A VIX more than 10% below the 10 day SMA? Generally tradeable. A better signal? While it is still too early ‘cling tightly’ to the VXV (an index that calculates the 93 day implied volatility for the SPX options), I am bullish on the VIX:VXV ratio – and the chart of that ratio suggests that the market is approaching an overbought condition.

I have become tired of hearing about and talking about Obama. He is just not that important. Nevertheless, he is our president. Like it or not, Obama does have the power of the presidency. Moreover, he has in addition the power he has stolen. Therefore, as our leader — the leader we elected — our nation has assumed the character of this man, and from time-to-time we must consider what that means. Hence, this reblog.
With leaders like Obama, what should we now call our style of governance? Mark Levin, a popular Conservative radio commentator, appropriately calls it Ameritopia. What that moniker emphasizes is America’s dominant Utopian ideology. Using the term Ameritopia, Levin characterizes the heaven on earth sought by America’s lost and scared citizenry. What Levin does not make clear is why The Establishment relentlessly pushes towards what Conservatves rightly see as a cliff. Those in the Establishment also live in terror; our elites are also among lost and scared. Thus, those in The Establishment also seek Utopia, but their heaven on earth lies in absolute power and inexhaustible wealth. Made desperate by their desire for a hopeless delusion, they will easily not give up.
Utopia is the delusion that men can creat heaven on earth. Ameritopia is America’s version of it. Yet we each seed the hollow dream that men can create heaven on earth with our own pride. That is why Obamacare and all the other powergrabs have never been about Barack Obama. We elected that vile liar; he did not choose himself. That is why the news media that has protected Obama will not give up. It’s not Obama they care about; what they and their masters seek is their own personal heaven on earth. Until we each examine our own hearts, we will not begin to reverse the tyrannical tide.
In the days ahead, what defines victory for The Establishment? To win The Establishment must only do one thing. The must keep Conservatives from winning, and that they still seem quite capable of doing. While there is much talk, the RINOs do nothing. Obamacare still stands, and all the “change” Obama, the Democrats, and the RINOs have wrought remains in place, just because they talk and talk and talk…., but do nothing.
Why are we unable to win? We confuse our goals. Obama is not the problem. What is the problem? Too many of us no longer believe in the providence of God. Instead of believing that God gives us our rights, we look to government. We render unto Caesar what rightfully belongs to God.
We cannot wait for others to act. We must ourselves render unto God what is God’s. When the politicians we elect do not render in our name what rightfully belongs to God Almighty alone, then we must replace them. Otherwise, our Lord will assign the blame to us all.
His “Just Words” speech should have informed one-&-all, right then, that words were all he had…
Instead, it was hailed as incontrovertible proof of his future magnificence as president. And yet, after his “uhmm-errr-ahhhhh” fest in yesterday’s press conference, to say that he’s lost whatever shred of magic or credibility he once had would be a galactic understatement, at best.
A better description of it would go somewhere along these lines:
Plenty to cover here, so let’s go through these in no particular order:

DAR holds nationwide public consultations on IRR of New Agrarian Emancipation Act
MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) held simultaneous public consultations with its stakeholders on September 1, 2023 to obtain inputs on the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the New Agrarian Emancipation Act (NAEA) or Republic Act No. 11953.
The Committee tasked by DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrela to draft the IRR is chaired by DAR Undersecretary Napoleon Galit with DAR Undersecretaries Luis Pangulayan and Marilyn Barua -Yap, LBP EVP Alex Lorayes, Administrator Gerardo Serios and NIA Aministrator Eddie Guillen as members.
Representatives of agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) from all fifteen (15) regions including the BARMM and concerned farmers’ groups and civil society organizations likewise participated in the public consultations.
Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste led the Luzon leg which was held at the Great Eastern Hotel in Quezon City.
Undersecretary for Foreign-Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares led the Visayas leg in Passi City, Iloilo while Undersecretary for Mindanao Affairs Amihilda J. Sangcopan led the Mindanao leg at the World Palace Hotel in Ecoland, Davao City.
The ARBs and farmers’ groups raised clarifications on the coverage of the New Agrarian Emancipation Act and the process of obtaining condonation and the termination of payment of just compensation to landowners.
The summary of the discussions will be submitted to the IRR drafting committee for inclusion in the draft IRR which will be finalized during the full committee meeting with DAR Secretary Estrella on September 7, 2023.
At the Great Eastern Hotel in Quezon City, ARBs Arlene Perez of Bulacan, Librado Caliong of Pampanga, Joel Domingo of Tarlac, Saturnino Distur of Pangasinan, Gaudencio Batin of Candon City and Nathan Sendan, among many other ARBs took turns expressing gratitude to President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Secretary Estrella for the NAEA and are looking forward to its smooth and swift implementation.
The journey of the NAEA started barely a year ago when President Marcos Jr. signed Executive Order No. 4, Series of 2022, imposing a one-year moratorium on the payment of amortizations by ARBs.
Estrella cited the efforts of DAR Undersecretaries Marilyn B. Barua-Yap and Luis Meinrado C. Pangulayan, who participated in every step of the legislative process to ensure that the marching orders of the President to pass a law that ensures freedom of farmers from their agrarian debt is passed by Congress.
Estrella also commended the contributions of DAR’s partner agencies, namely the Land Bank of the Philippines represented by LBP Executive Vice President Engr. Alex A Lorayes and Vice President Atty. Marife Lynn O. Pacua, the Land Registration Authority led by Administrator Atty. Gerardo P. Serios, and the National Irrigation Administration led by Administrator Eddie Guillen.

New research shows that patients with severe forms of Alzheimer’s disease who stayed on dementia drug Aricept (donepezil), approved only to treat mild to moderate forms of the disease, for longer had slower memory decline compared to patients who were given placebo tablets.
Researchers also found that Namenda (memantine), another commonly distributed dementia drug in the U.S. were also beneficial for patients with severe Alzheimer’s, although the effectiveness was more modest compared to Pfizer’s Aricept.
British scientists suggest that extending Aricept treatment to more people for longer may significantly reduce cognitive decline in Alzheimer patients and suggest that the latest findings could lead to twice as many Alzheimer’s patients worldwide to be given the medications because cheaper generic versions of donepezil and memantine will soon be made available as both drugs lose their patent rights.
The study, published in the March 8th edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, consisted of 295 Alzheimer's patients in England and Scotland who had already been taking Aricept who were divided into four groups. Participants were either given a placebo, Aricept, Namenda (memantine), a drug prescribed only in later stages of Alzheimer’s, or a combination of Aricept and Namenda.
Researchers then evaluated each group’s cognition scores on memory and ability to cope with everyday tasks like dressing and eating for a year.
Researchers found that while the drugs were unable to completely stop the mental decline in patients, the medication had significantly slowed their mental deterioration.
The results demonstrated that continuing Aricept treatment gave benefit over taking the placebo, and switching to Namenda provided less benefit than staying on Aricept alone. Researchers did not find evidence that the combination of the two drugs provided significantly more benefit over taking Aricept by itself.
"We observed that patients who continued taking donepezil were better able to remember, understand, communicate, and perform daily tasks for at least a year longer than those who stopped taking the drugs. These improvements were noticeable to patients, their caregivers, and doctors," lead author Dr. Robert Howard of the Institute of Psychiatry at King’s College London said in a statement.
However, a separate analysis indicated that each drug had an independent benefit, so Howard recommended that doctor prescribe a combination of Aricept and Namenda if possible to patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s.
"For the first time, we have robust and compelling evidence that treatment with these drugs can continue to help patients at the later, more severe stages of the disease," Howard said in a statement.
"As patients progress to more severe forms of Alzheimer's disease, clinicians are faced with a difficult decision as to whether to continue or not with dementia drugs, and until now, there has been little evidence to guide that decision," he added.
However in an accompanying editorial, Dr. Lon Schneider said while the results showed the potentially important results the findings “should not be interpreted as evidence of the efficacy of indefinite treatment with the drug,” and more research is needed to determine the long-term benefits, the potential for harm and physiological tolerance, and the safe discontinuation of cholinesterase inhibitors as Alzheimer's disease progresses.

It looks as though Christmas is coming early for quite a few AMD fans. Reports have surfaced around the web that some users in Russia are finding their recently-purchased AMD Ryzen 3 1200 CPUs have 8 active cores, which normally would pack only 4 cores.
The reports come just a few weeks after a number of folks received Ryzen 5 CPUs with 8 active cores with SMT for 16 threads, although the chips would actually sport 6 cores and 12 threads. The cases emerged in Russia include the Ryzen 3 CPUs, specifically the Ryzen 3 1200, which were shipped with 8 cores but with SMT disabled (thus 8 threads), instead of 4 cores and 4 threads.
The users obviously couldn’t believe their luck, and one of them even posted a YouTube video of their Ryzen 3 model, stating, “this is AMD, the cheapest AMD processor, why do I have 8 cores and 8 threads.”
The user shows that both CPU-Z and Device Manager display 8 active cores without SMT. Furthermore, the processor scores around 900 points in the Cinebench R15 multicore test, where it would normally hit around 500 points.
This is definitely a welcome surprise to fortunate Ryzen users, no less than winning a silicon lottery. Reddit also reacted to the incident, with one user calling it “AMD’s version of loot boxes.” Another put this into some sort of 2016 perspective, stating, “imagine an Intel customer buying an i5-6400 or 6500 and receiving instead an i7-6900k with HT deactivated.”
It’s unclear why exactly this is happening. You may think of it as some kind of factory mistake, but it’s implausible for the manufacturing facility to remain unaware of the number of CPU cores on a processor before it is packaged. So is this a PR stunt of some sort? We don’t know at the moment.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

We are a community of like minded people. Our activities are intentional performance art from craft cocktails at the bar to curated DJ music, art activities, soul power wash and of course our Friday Soul Brunch. It's not a free for all, but rather an intentional community with lots of wisdom and planning along with lessons learned. Past campers have paid it forward to provide this year's amazing camp. Our planning and structure provide a grounding and safe foundation amongst all the fun and chaos.
The origins of H&SV start with camp Soulicious in 2006. A camp pulled together of friendships far and wide. It all really got started at one of Debi Mae’s legendary Soul Brunches at her old home in the Valley. Eventually Debi brought the party to the Playa in 2006, and to this day it continues.
Over the years the camp evolved in different forms but it wasn’t until 2011 when we re-branded the camp to ’The Heroes & Super Villains of Soulicious’. On that year the camp took on a new philosophy, one of bringing our community together year round throughout the world rather than just getting together for our Soul Brunch.
Within each of us lies the duality of yin and yang, good and evil, male and female. These forces seem opposite on the surface, but in fact are vitally complementary in shaping who we are. For example, light cannot exist without shadow. The morning tranquility of the Playa would not be so peaceful without the carnal rage of the Burn at night. Our camp is a manifestation of that idea, particularly apropos for the Carnival of Mirrors; which side of you is staring back when you look into the mirror? Our camp aims to help the Burner on her or his journey to discover that. Our interactivity is aimed to help the wanderer’s transformation. And transformation is the appropriate word here. Every Hero & Super Villain has experienced a moment of transformation – a spider’s bite, an emotional journey – a moment that transformed them from ordinary to extraordinary. This year, we’ll be celebrating our transformations and the moments that have made their indelible marks on us.
Skullicious is a piece of artwork that functions as the camp's bar, built by David Jellison and gifted to our camp in 2012. It is a 22-foot long plexiglas-covered collage, titled PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT, that captures the period in the U.S. from 1960-2012 in hundreds of images of celebrities, politicians, personalities, and nut jobs - all of which is to highlight the relentless propaganda and idiocy that is thinly disguised as our government and entertainment, which we are subjected to every day.
For your personal items, bring a cooler. There will be ice available for purchase (one of two things you can buy out there). We will not have room for your personal perishable items in our camp kitchen, only communal food for Soul Brunch, Burgers & Beats and other family meals. Anything left in the kitchen will be considered "communal food" and it will be assumed you are okay with sharing it.
We will have a communal sink, two 2-burner camp stoves, a fire pit, pots and pans, silverware and random kitchen utensils/gadgets etc. So don't bring those... but, if there is something you need specifically, BRING IT. Your own plates/silverware is also a good idea. DEF your own cup/coffee mug/water bottle.
Real heroes do dishes. We do not have a camp maid. Unless you have a dom/sub slave you can share, please be prepared to wash your own dishes.
The shower works by manually pouring clean water in a bucket, electrically pumping the water out of the shower head, and collecting dirty water into a wood and tarp reservoir beneath the platform boards. Turn on the spout to wet yourself, turn it off while you soap yourself, and turn it back on to rinse yourself. Do not urinate in the shower, as the smell will linger in the days between grey water servicing.
Soul Brunch isn't just a party; it's like the backyard barbecues of home. It's like the cookouts of our yesteryears. As your families invited your communities over, as the generations of soul families invited their communities over, so too does the Heroes & Super Villains family invite the Playa community over to eat together, drink together, get to know one another, dance with each other and uplift each other. From noon until sunset, our trained chefs serve up the freshest breakfast burritos on the Playa, accompanied by professionally made craft cocktails. Our collection of international DJs spin smooth beats until nightfall.
We also give revelers a chance to clean up with our Soul Power Showers; guests experience the rebirth and rejuvenation of cool, cleansing water sprayed forcefully from our pressurized washer system (imagine a water saving car wash inside our shower areas for guests). Baptised anew, heroes set out on their way spreading positive vibes.
On it's 10th Annual Celebration of the Soul Brunch, we were gifted curated sounds from Marques Wyatt, Nickodemus, Deep Woods, Sabo and Rafael de la Cruz.
Throughout the week, Heroes & Super Villains operates Skullicious during afternoon and evening hours. We are a slow bar, designed to help the weary Burner take a load off, tell us some stories and make some new friends while we diligently craft signature cocktails. Ask for Wasabi. Tell him you've heard of his legendary Mojito. Pray he can make you one.

Roller Coaster Tycoon (2) is still a great game to play. In the first game there was an entry level scenario called “Forest Frontiers”. Any one who has played RCT must know it. A nice easy map with a flat surface to place the rides on. 2 years to finish and attract a modest number of guests to your park.
Recently I picked up RCT2 again and noticed the small amount of winter scenarios. RCT2 features an ice and snow objects theme and landscaping. The only snow scenario in the defaults list appears to be Alpine Adventures. This is a nice, challenging map but also quite hard to complete imho. You need to get a monthly income of 7000 from ride tickets alone. That’s not so challenging for the average player I guess but the landscape is pretty expensive to build on as you need to build lots of elevated paths and/or tunnels to cover the map. At the time I had a good park running the income from rides was diminishing as older attractions became less popular, with guests willing to pay less and less for a ticket.
So I searched for a RCT2 version of Forest Frontiers to ‘snowify’. Found one on the following site: http://rct2downloadcenter.webs.com/scenarios.htm and loaded that one into the scenario editor. It’s a complete scenario but you can open it in the scenario editor by choosing “load landscape”. Now the only thing left to do was changing the surface to snow, remove the ‘summer’ trees and replace them with snowy trees from the icy theme.
Below you can find a download link from my Dropbox containing the scenario file. In case you want to change anything just open it in the scenario editor and you can easily proceed to the next steps to select a different set of available rides or the objectives.

This Week in Kickstarter
Share this post
This week in Kickstarter, we made a video! Everyday we watch the videos you guys make, so we figured, well, we might as well try and take all the lessons we've learned from watching tens of thousands of videos and try to succinctly describe how to make an awesome video. It wasn't easy, but we had a lot of fun making this video, and so should you! Don't dread it, just do it!
Speaking of videos, this one for Jane Jensen's Pinkerton Road: "A Year of Adventure" project is....quite suspenseful. Let's just say that Jane and her collaborators went the meta- route and not only are they creating adventure mystery games but there project video is a mystery adventure in and of itself. Let's just say, we're excited to find out how this one ends.
And while we're at it, how could we not clue you into Magic The Gathering The Musical, which is exactly what it's title says it is. What the title doesn't tell you is that Jimmy Carter invented peanuts and started a moon base, that there is a really bad puppet ghetto in Atlanta, and that it's really easy to be interrupted when you are a puppet trying to explain yourself. Take a look.
And while we're busy watching videos this weekend, if you are in Boston chances are you will be busy playing games. Not gonna lie, wish we were busy playing games instead of eating quiche, but such is life. Anyway, if you find yourself at PAX East this weekend, be sure to pop by the Kickstarter room where a boat load of activities, including game demos, workshops, lectures, and more game demos are sure to keep you busy. Check out the entire schedule for Kickstarter at PAX right here.

At the last minute, we got together with our neighbors and friends, the Thurmans. They had been planning on getting together with family, but decided not to because their daughter Alyssa wasn't feeling very well. So, we got together and did all of our fireworks together. It was really fun and the kids all had a great time. The best part was the illegal things Chad and David were doing to the fireworks to make a better show for us! The kids liked the sparklers, pop-its and smoke bombs.

NFC East — Worst Division in the History of Football?
Things can only go up from here…right?
The NFC East is on a record pace to become the worst division in the history of the NFL.
Currently, the combined record of all four teams in the NFC East is 6–19–1. The Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Football team will face each other in a Week 7 matchup, which will most likely boost the division record to…


When your refrigerator is running it should make a low humming noise. However, that’s about it. You shouldn’t be able to hear the refrigerator unless you’re close to it. If your refrigerator is making a lot of noise, you can search for “refrigerator repair near me” and hire a technician to fix it for you. Let’s check out what might cause your refrigerator to make loud noises.
- It isn’t level – If you hear a loud humming noise from your refrigerator or something similar to chucking, you should check out if the refrigerator is level. All refrigerators come with adjustable legs. If one or more legs fall out of adjustment, the refrigerator can create a loud humming noise since the components are stressed out as they are tilted to one side.
You can check if your refrigerator is level with a spirit level or even your phone. There are multiple spirit-level apps that take advantage of the in-built gyroscope in your phone to serve the same purpose as the real thing. If the refrigerator is really out of level, you can just adjust the legs till it levels out.
- Something is touching the refrigerator wall – This is one of the most common causes of refrigerator noise that can be fixed with the least amount of effort. If you like to keep things in large glass jars inside the refrigerator, make sure that it may cause a bit of noise. When the refrigerator runs, there are a lot of vibrations. These vibrations are muted by the insulating walls.
However, the walls aren’t able to completely get rid of those vibrations. Glass is very sensitive to vibrations, and even the small vibrations running through the refrigerator walls may cause a loud clattering noise. If you don’t see any glass jars or other such items close to the wall, rearrange the things inside your refrigerator just to rule out this problem. Move all solid items including door racks away from the wall.
- Blocked or damaged fan blade – If you have ruled out the above-mentioned reasons, it’s time to get up close and personal. Go close to the refrigerator and listen to the noise for a while. You should be able to accurately deduce the location of the noise source. If the noise is coming from near the vent that’s located between the fresh food section and the freezer, then it may have something to do with the fan or its motor.
To make sure that the noise is due to the fan or its motor you need to disassemble your refrigerator and inspect the fan. In the best-case scenario, the fan may be dirty or slightly bent. Cleaning the fan or bending it slightly the right way should fix the problem. If the damage is major, you may need to replace the fan. On the other hand, if there’s nothing wrong with the fan, the noise is probably coming from the motor and that requires the expertise of a technician.
- Motor noises – Your refrigerator has several components. Among them, the compressor, and the evaporator are the most important parts followed by fans at different places. All these components use motors. If those motors are damaged or at the end of their lifespan, they will make a lot of noise. The most difficult part of this problem is to figure out which motor is damaged or has run its course. You may need to diagnose each motor and even check the fan blades and their bearings.
- Condenser tubes may be touching – At the back of your refrigerator, you’ll find the condenser coil tubes. These are metal tubes that maximize the surface area so that they can circulate and cool the refrigerant. If you haven’t moved the refrigerator anytime soon, the noise is probably not due to the condor coils. On the other hand, if you’ve moved your refrigerator recently, the condenser coils at the back may have been dented or damaged.
If the coils are bent or dented enough to touch each other, they will create a lot of noise. However, this noise is clearly distinguishable from the other types of noise your refrigerator may make. When the condenser coils are damaged or touching each other, they create a distinct metallic resonance from the back of the refrigerator. In that case, the refrigerant may be leaking out. It can be toxic, and you should be very careful while inspecting this.
Moreover, the coils require special equipment and technical expertise so that they can be repaired. It’s best to hire a technician for this fix. If the damage is severe the coils may need to be replaced. If your refrigerator is very old, replacing the coils is going to be very expensive. In that case, it’s better to just upgrade to a new refrigerator.
- Damper problems – A damper is a flap that’s located between the fresh food compartment and your freezer. It opens and closes to control the flow of cold air. Since it’s a moving component of your refrigerator, it can get worn out over time. If you’re already disassembling the refrigerator for checking the fans or motors, you may as well check the damper for signs of damage. If the damper is grimy or rusty, replacing it should significantly reduce the refrigerator noise.
- Water inlet valve is blocked – If your refrigerator is making noise at certain periods throughout the day, then it’s probably due to the water inlet valve. You’ll be sure about this culprit if the refrigerator makes excessive noise when you draw water from the water dispenser or when the ice maker is getting filled. This is probably caused due to the inlet valve being blocked by mineral deposits and other debris. Cleaning it should fix the problem.
Refrigerators have come a long way. If they are working properly, they shouldn’t be audible unless you’re in the same room. Modern high-end refrigerators aren’t even audible unless you open the door. If your refrigerator is making loud noises, you can hire a professional to fix it for you by searching for “refrigerator repair near me”.

Acute gastroenteritis is commonly known as the “stomach flu,” but it’s not actually the flu at all. The most common cause of gastroenteritis in the U.S. is norovirus.
My 4 year old daughter is generally very healthy, but as I was reminded last week, I can’t keep her immune to the slew of preschool germs. She came home with acute gastroenteritis, and had a terrible night with vomiting and diarrhea. Sometimes it pays to be a doctor mom.
I’ve cared for my family in this situation, and have counseled hundreds of patients on the same thing. I’ve also nursed myself back to health plenty of times after bouts of vomiting and diarrhea. It’s no fun getting glutened!
Sometimes we prescribe medications to help with the nausea, but there is no magic bullet for viral gastroenteritis. My natural approach offers comfort and speeds recovery. Here are 12 simple tips to recover from the “stomach flu”:
- Bone broth – There’s a reason we make chicken soup. Bone broth is nutrient-dense, easy to digest, and helps heal the gut. With collagen, proline, glycine, glutamine, and minerals, bone broth really is the perfect remedy.
- Coconut Water – This is a great source of natural electrolytes. I much prefer it to sports drinks like Gatorade that are full of food dyes and sugar (or even worse, artificial sweetener). My other favorite electrolyte mix is this powder from Seeking Health.
- Chamomile Tea – chamomile has long been known for it’s soothing effects, and also has antimicrobial activity.
- Fresh Ginger – Ginger is widely known for its digestive effects. Studies show it to be an effective option for relieving nausea and vomiting. Grate fresh ginger into warm water and add honey. Or add grated ginger to plain sparkling water.
- Raw Honey – have a teaspoon in warm tea. Remember, no honey for children under 1 year old.
- Apple Sauce – Cooked apples are easier to digest and contain more pectin, which helps to reduce the symptoms of diarrhea and soothes the gastrointestinal tract.
- Bananas – bananas are easy to digest and a good source of potassium. They also contain pectin. There’s something to the BRAT (Bananas-Rice-Applesauce-Toast) diet, just stay away from the toast.
- Fresh or Frozen Pineapple – pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain which acts as a digestive aid, is anti-inflammatory, and may even help kill viruses.
- Peppermint Essential Oil – Peppermint is well known for it’s anti-nausea effects. Dilute it with a carrier oil and rub on the soles of the feet (be careful not to get it on the eyes or face). You can also diffuse it into a room or put it on a wet washcloth. Vibrant Blue Oils are my favorite.
- Activated Charcoal – Charcoal can help to naturally remove toxins and bacteria. My recommendations are Upgraded Coconut Charcoal from Bulletproof, or G.I. Detox from Bio-Botanical Research.
- Probiotics – double up on a high quality probiotic supplement for a few weeks to months. I recommend daily probiotics for just about everyone to help restore and maintain healthy gut flora. Probiotic drinks like Kevita’s Lemon Ginger and Kosmic Kombucha Ginger Mary Ann can also help. However, watch the sugar content and avoid these if you struggle with fungal or candida overgrowth.
- Warm Epsom Salt Bath– comforting, good for detox, and will provide some magnesium. We put some lavender essential oil in the tub, too.
I recommend avoiding inflammatory foods like dairy and gluten. Boiled potatoes or cooked basmati rice would be a better option if you tolerate them. Stick to warm, cooked, easily digested foods like soup.
More importantly, focus on hydration with electrolyte-rich fluids (electrolytes are depleted with vomiting and diarrhea). Hydrate with frequent, small sips – no gulping or chugging.
Keep in mind that high sugar foods can sometimes make the situation worse by creating osmotic diarrhea. That said, I would prefer natural sugars to artificial sweeteners.
Remember to wash your hands with soap and water! Alcohol based (triclosan-free) hand sanitizers are ok in a pinch, but are no substitute for soap and water and are not effective against certain infections like Clostridium Difficile.
Please note, this is not meant to be a substitute for seeking medical care. See your doctor or go to the Emergency Room if you have any concerns for dehydration. In children especially, it’s important to monitor urine output. See your doctor if there is blood or mucous in the stool, pain, lethargy, if symptoms persist more than a few days or if you have any other concerns.
