The World Health Organization has slapped travel restrictions on Pakistan, Cameroon and Syria in an effort to control the spread of the crippling polio virus. Pakistan is moving quickly to make polio vaccines mandatory for all those planning to travel out of the country. WHO says those three nations should ensure all residents and long-term visitors get a polio vaccination prior to international travel. WHO’s Assistant Director General Bruce Aylward said the polio virus had been found widely circulating in other countries in 2013. Pakistan has the highest incidence of polio in the world, and the virus has been found in sewage water in Israel, Egypt and West Bank-Gaza, as well as in Iraq and Syria. Immunization plan Pakistan Minister of National Health Services Saira Afzal Tarar told VOA the government is putting an immunization plan in place. “We are concerned about our international responsibility regarding the spread of polio, and we were already considering, along with our provincial governments, that we should make sure that all Pakistanis, before leaving Pakistan, should have these polio drops,” said Tarar. The WHO is recommending anyone traveling out of Pakistan should be vaccinated four weeks to 12 months prior to travel, and provide proof of inoculation. Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan are the three remaining countries in which the virus remains endemic. Because of a Taliban ban on vaccinations, and its deadly attacks on anti-polio health teams, national eradication efforts in Pakistan have suffered critical setbacks, and the virus continues to spread. Taliban deterrent Tarar said those areas inaccessible to health workers are the main reservoirs of the polio virus. A heavy Taliban presence has all but denied access to the tribal area of North Waziristan. Pakistan’s prime minister has asked the country’s military to help protect polio vaccination workers in the insurgency-plagued northwest. Although not legally binding, the WHO recommendation carries a lot of weight, said the organization's acting representative in Pakistan, Nima Saeed Abid. “Expectations are many countries will implement, but it depends on the member state to implement," said Abid. "I do not think member states would ignore these recommendations.” The World Health Organization said the spread of the polio virus is a public health emergency of international concern. The travel measures announced Monday are expected to remain in place until six months have passed without polio virus exportations.

Besides Raiwind, other areas in the city of Lahore only have one feeder to provide uninterrupted power supply, officials of the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) briefed the Senate Standing Committee on Monday.A senior official of the Lahore Electric Supply Corporation (Lesco) told the committee that no VIP is exempted from the load-shedding in Lahore, except the residents of Raiwind, where two feeders have been installed to ensure uninterrupted power supply. He stated that Raiwind was given double feeders because the prime minister and chief minister live there. Furthermore, he said that Rs 524 million and Rs 500 million are outstanding dues from the provincial and federal governments respectively. The Water and Sanitation Authority (Wasa) in Lahore has paid Rs 862 million of the Rs 1.5 billion outstanding, and the remaining will be paid by the end of this month. He said that there are no outstanding dues against the Governor House, the CM House and the Assembly Secretariat. The Lesco official also mentioned that Rs 2.27 billion is outstanding against the TMA, Lahore, due to which electricity for street lights has been disconnected. He also stated that at least 33 % line losses prevail in the Lesco system. PESCO: The officials from Peshawar Electricity Supply Company (Pesco) said that except for hospitals and the High Court building, no VIP office has been exempted from the load-shedding. However, the official stated that special generators are being provided for any important VIP event to ensure uninterrupted power supply. The Pesco official added that there is no more than one feeder installed in any VIP office in the province. According to him, various government departments in Peshawar are defaulters of Rs 1 billion to Wapda of which Rs 500 million was received recently following the disconnection of a driver and they have assured to pay the remaining amount by the end of this month. IESCO: The Islamabad Electricity Supply Company (IESCO) MD also said that there is no double feeder in any VIP building, and stated that they generate their own electricity via generators during load-shedding. He said that all the departments have started paying their dues after the disconnection drive. The MD added that CDA is the largest defaulter of IESCO with an outstanding due of Rs 2.13 billion. He said that out of the total outstanding against CDA, only Rs 319 million has been received. At present, 980mw of power is available with the system against the demand of 1600mw, and consequently, there is 10-12 hours of load-shedding daily. QUESCO: The Quetta Electricity Supply Corporation (Quesco) MD briefed the committee that the highest outstanding due of Rs 80 billion is against the provincial and federal governments in the head of tube well bills. Other than that, the outstanding due against the Quetta Police is Rs 133 million, while the education and health departments owe up to Rs 250 and Rs 435 million of defaulters, respectively. Circular debt: A joint secretary ministry of water and power told the committee that the circular debt has again surged to Rs 170 billion, due to which rental power plants have reduced the generation of electricity to some extent. Presently, he said, 10,700mw electricity is available in the system and till July and an additional power of 1800mw will be added to system from ongoing projects. Tariff rate to K-P: Committee chairman Senator Zahid Khan rejected the recent increase in the power tariff for the consumers in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa (K-P). He also asked the K-P chief minister to take the issue to the Council of Common Interest (CCI) in light of the decision of the Supreme Court
http://www.eurasiareview.com/By Zachary J. Rose It appears as though the latest attempt at reconciliation between the government of Pakistan and the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (Pakistan Taliban, or TTP) may be falling apart without any new breakthroughs. However, given the strategic dimensions involved, one has to wonder if any stakeholders were holding out any real hope of a peaceful resolution in the first place. For several months, the government of Pakistan has apparently been attempting to end its conflict with the TTP, a militant insurgent network with ties to Al Qaeda and the Afghan Taliban. The TTP, which formed in 2007 and operates primarily in the northwestern regions on the afpak border, is fighting to impose strict Sharia law across Pakistan, and as such it rejects the country’s current constitution, which it believes fails to adequately enshrine Islamic law. Peace talks and reconciliation with the TTP were major campaign promises of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif prior to his election victory last summer. Despite government efforts, peace talks have failed to gain any momentum, with both sides continuing to engage in military actions against the other. Brutal executions and military strikes have often left the talks stalled or officially suspended. On March 1 the TTP agreed to a month-long ceasefire, during which time the peace talks could – it was hoped – make some real progress. Prime Minister Sharif is under a great deal of political pressure to end the fighting, which has resulted in thousands of deaths over the years. Despite their primary goal of overthrowing the Pakistani government and spreading Sharia law through jihad, the TTP has come forward with a few short-term, more realistic demands such as the release of several hundred prisoners, who the group claims to be non-combatants. Earlier talks produced a ceasefire extension until April 10, but more recently, the TTP has announced that the combat freeze will not be renewed past this date. Both sides have asserted that the talks will continue despite resumed hostilities, though it is unlikely that any serious discussion will take place. Far more likely is that the peace process will regress to its familiar form: paused or cancelled every few weeks in the wake of some new attack. It is still unclear what might have ever resulted from these talks. After all, the TTP’s ultimate objectives are completely unacceptable to Pakistan. Even if the TTP were to give up its goal of imposing Sharia law across the country, they would at the very least demand a full withdrawal of Pakistani forces from TTP-controlled tribal territory. Prime Minister Sharif could not accept these conditions – nor could the United States, which has shown no willingness to decrease its military footprint in the region. Show talks There are signs that this latest round of talks were an empty gesture by both parties. Whatever the prospect of success, Sharif is being pushed to the table by his constituents and by his own election promises. Whether or not anything substantive could be achieved through such a dialogue, he must be seen as at least making the effort, especially if he intends to eventually pursue a military option. The loss of life in such an action would be dire, and the TTP is not without its sympathizers among the people of Pakistan. Before engaging in a wave of aggression against the Taliban and paying a heavy price, Sharif has to first be seen as exhausting all other options. Likewise, the TTP is surely aware that the government cannot accept the majority of the group’s demands. The release of political prisoners is plausible, but anything more than that could scarcely be considered. Taliban spokesman Shahidullah Shahid claims that the TTP had also asked for the establishment of a conflict-free zone and the suspension of security operations in that area. Purportedly suggested to build trust and relax the tension, these steps would effectively cede official control of state territory, which is something the government simply cannot do. It has been suggested that the TTP was prompted by insurgent partners, such as the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network, to pursue the ceasefire. The reprieve may have provided an opportunity for affiliated insurgents to regroup in TTP-controlled border regions. In such a case, it would not matter to the Taliban what, if anything, the peace talks accomplished. Peace a threat to US-Pakistan relations These peace talks, however doomed, only put further strain on US-Pakistan relations. However unlikely, a successful peace deal would only harm US interests, as the Pakistan Taliban operates in partnership with the Afghan Taliban and other extremist groups. If the Pakistani military were to decrease pressure on the Taliban over the long-term, it would risk creating a safe haven which the Afghanistan branch could use for retreat and a new base of operations. It seems the United States is keenly aware of this fact. US cooperation has been limited during the ongoing peace process, apart from lip service. In late 2013, for example, emergent peace overtures with the Taliban were derailed when the US used a targeted drone strike to kill Hakimullah Mehsud, then-leader of the TTP, mere days before a government delegation was being sent to negotiate. Drone strikes persist as a controversial focal point for all parties, and the US has demonstrated that it intends to pursue its own military agenda despite any local backlash or official protest from Prime Minister Sharif. While these drone strikes are incredibly controversial in Pakistan, they are popular in an increasingly war-weary United States. They have proven effective in eliminating high-profile targets, and they do so while minimizing the loss of American life. They have also been valuable to President Obama politically by allowing him to demonstrate his resolve and efficacy in the global fight against terrorism. Bleak prospects for peace These peace talks have not made a very strong case for themselves. Both sides appear to prefer pursuing their military objectives while making a show of reconciliation only when it is politically or strategically convenient. Additionally, the peace talks have not received any support from President Obama, who clearly prefers to continue the drone strike program and is in no hurry to help Sharif keep his electoral promises. It is clear that an indefinite truce does not serve any player’s political or military interests, and as a result, more stalling, suspension, and equivocation can be expected for the foreseeable future.

The Diplomat speaks with Abdullah Abdullah, the frontrunner in the Afghanistan presidential election.Until last year, the lane leading to Dr. Abdullah Abdullah’s house in central Kabul was open; today, the street is almost a garrison. Visitors are welcomed by security checkpoints, piles of sandbags, and new barricades. Some of the grocery stores along the lane appear to have been taken over by Abdullah’s security detail. All this new security in an otherwise quiet neighborhood is the mark of the rising profile of a man who many think will be the next president of Afghanistan. That thinking is supported by the results of the election on April 5, which at the current count has Abdullah with 45 percent of the votes case and his nearest rival, Dr. Ashraf Ghani, with 32 percent. The two leading candidates will move to a second round runoff on June 7. Given his commanding lead in the first round, Abdullah, a former eye surgeon and foreign minister, looks well placed. Should the runoff go to form, then Abdullah (53) would be the first ethnic Tajik (his mother is Tajik, his father Pashtun) to lead Afghanistan since 1996. That would be significant in a land dominated by the Pashtun, who are estimated to account for up to 45 percent of the population, compared with around 30 percent for the Tajik people. In fact, Abdullah is identified most closely with the Northern Alliance, which challenged the Taliban government between 1996 to 2001. A majority of the leaders of the Alliance were of Tajik origin and were recognized by the international community as a government in exile while the Taliban was in power. Abdullah was the foreign minister in that government, a position he also held from 2001 to 2005 under the governments headed by Hamid Karzai. Abdullah Abdullah recently spoke with The Diplomat’s Sanjay Kumar about his priorities as president, and his stance on the Bilateral Security Agreement. How do you view these elections? How important are free and fair elections for the stability of Afghanistan? We are concerned about the massive, industrial-scale fraud [seen in past elections]. I hope the experience of 2009 will not be repeated. That will damage the interests of the country. People will not accept this. They will not accept this. Free and fair elections are important for the future of the country. The credibility of the institutions are also at stake. Many things are dependent on the elections. What would be your first priority should you assume power in Afghanistan? Of course the emphasis would be on security and the rule of law. I want to present opportunities to the people. People should feel from the first day that reform has started. They will feel from the beginning that a new chapter in the history of Afghanistan has started. We will deliver the promises made to the electorate. How you are planning to bring security to your country—an issue which is of paramount importance to the people. There are quite a few things that will help security in the country. Credible elections are important for instilling a sense of security among the people and that you can see now. Of course you need to strengthen your institutions; governance is important. Security in Afghanistan has domestic, regional and international dimensions. Talking about the domestic sector I think the rule of law is important to bring much-needed change. But this you cannot achieve overnight. When people are hopeful and security is getting better then they will contribute. If there is a shadow of uncertainty, then the enemies of security will use this opportunity and that will lead to the worsening of the situation. I think the outcome of credible elections is to start not only dealing with the issues of security but also dealing with other challenges that Afghanistan is faced with. What is your plan to deal with the Taliban? They remain a major challenge to the stability and security of the country? How open are you to negotiations with them? First of all, the doors of negotiations are to be opened—genuine, serious negotiations. At the same time, [the Taliban] need to understand that if they continue with the path of violence they will be tackled, they will be dealt with by the people of Afghanistan and the government of Afghanistan. That part of the message is not clear at the moment. The government is asking for talks and negotiations without making it clear to the Taliban that if they are not giving up violence they will be dealt with firmly. So in other words the government of Afghanistan has spoken from a position of weakness that does not work. That needs to be changed. The relationship between Afghanistan with Pakistan is important in that regard. One has to focus on that as well, and the international community can play a role as well. They can facilitate the talks. Do you see a scenario in the future in which the Taliban is part of the government in Kabul? Theoretically that only can happen only when they give up violence and severe links with terrorist organizations and when they accept the constitution of Afghanistan. When they want to be part of the political process by maintaining their ideas without using violence, [then at] that stage the doors need to be opened for them to participate in the governance and political process. But we are far away from such a reality. One of the concerns of the Western world is the signing of the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA)? How open are you to this proposal? I think the BSA needs to be signed sooner rather than later. By not signing it the current administration of Afghanistan has created an atmosphere of uncertainty that has damaged Afghanistan and its interests a great deal. So this should be the priority for the future government. Karzai has openly said that he does not trust the United States. How do you see the relationship with the world’s sole superpower? The relationship has to be based on mutual trust. In foreign relations and relations with other countries, there will always be issues and no one starts with complete trust. Partnership is based on mutual trust. You cannot base relations with other countries on mistrust.

The World Health Organisation on Monday recommended strict travel restrictions on Pakistan due to the rising number of polio cases in the country. The WHO said the spread of polio is an international public health emergency that threatens to infect other countries with the crippling disease. The public health arm of the United Nations, issued its new guidelines to fight the disease, recommending Pakistanis traveling abroad should present a polio vaccination certificate. The WHO also recommended similar restrictions on Syria and Cameroon — two other countries where the disease was previously said to have been eradicated but have recently been known to have been exporting the potentially disease. Pakistan is one of only three countries where the crippling virus is endemic. The other two countries are Nigeria and Afghanistan. In an announcement today, the agency described the ongoing polio outbreaks in Asia, Africa and the Middle East as an ''extraordinary'' situation requiring a coordinated international response. In a statement, the WHO said Pakistan, Cameroon, and the Syrian Arab Republic pose the greatest risk of further wild poliovirus exportations in 2014. The WHO recommended: “These States should: officially declare, if not already done, at the level of head of state or government, that the interruption of poliovirus transmission is a national public health emergency; ensure that all residents and long-term visitors (i.e. > 4 weeks) receive a dose of OPV or inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) between 4 weeks and 12 months prior to international travel; ensure that those undertaking urgent travel (i.e. within 4 weeks), who have not received a dose of OPV or IPV in the previous 4 weeks to 12 months, receive a dose of polio vaccine at least by the time of departure as this will still provide benefit, particularly for frequent travelers; ensure that such travelers are provided with an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis in the form specified in Annex 6 of the International Health Regulations (2005) to record their polio vaccination and serve as proof of vaccination; maintain these measures until the following criteria have been met: (i) at least 6 months have passed without new exportations and (ii) there is documentation of full application of high quality eradication activities in all infected and high risk areas; in the absence of such documentation these measures should be maintained until at least 12 months have passed without new exportations.” “Once a State has met the criteria to be assessed as no longer exporting wild poliovirus, it should continue to be considered as an infected State until such time as it has met the criteria to be removed from that category,” added the WHO statement. Polio usually strikes children under five and is usually spread via infected water. There is no specific treatment or cure, but several vaccines exist. Experts are particularly concerned the virus continues to pop up in countries previously free of the disease, such as Syria, Somalia and Iraq — where civil war or unrest complicates efforts to contain the virus. Some critics say the rapid spread of polio could unravel the nearly three-decade effort to eradicate it.
The Express Tribune Iran’s police chief has hinted that his country would seal its border with Pakistan any time. “It is very important to ensure security on the eastern border,” Brigadier General Ahmadi Moqaddam was quoted as saying by state-run IRNA news agency on Sunday. Iran’s southeastern Sistan-Baluchestan province borders Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan province. Tehran has already put in place extra security along the border following the kidnapping of five border guards last month. “Sealing the eastern borders will soon result in major changes in Sistan-Baluchestan province. We will witness major changes and developments in this region by sealing the borders,” Moqaddam told journalists in Tehran. He vowed a ‘crushing response to any terrorist who dares to threaten’ the country’s border security. “We pursue any assassination and murder until resolving the problem,” he said while pointing to terrorist acts in Sistan-Baluchestan. Moqaddam referred to the emergence of Jeish al Adl terrorist group after Jundollah ringleader Abdel Malik Rigi was arrested and executed in Iran. “A new terrorist group has started operation to continue Rigi’s work since last year and it has committed murders in the southern parts of the country and they attack people under the cover of defending the Sunnis, while everyone knows that we are not practicing religious segregation and discrimination,” he said. “The people of that region are not happy” with the group’s operations either “because insecurity halts progress and advancement”, he added. Five Iranian border guards were abducted by Jeish al Adl in early February. Four of them were freed after two months, while the fate of the fifth one is not clear yet. Last month, President Hassan Rouhani in a meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister’s Special Envoy Sartaj Aziz in Tehran underlined the need for the removal of security concerns at the two countries’ common border. “The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that security and tranquility in Pakistan is interrelated with its own security and tranquility,” Rouhani said during the meeting.
The purported Taliban intention to hold talks with the government and the government’s desire to bring the talks to some logical conclusion have fallen flat owing to mismanagement and lack of trust between both the parties. The inevitability of the lack of trust cannot be argued about any further. The frustration of Chaudhry Nisar with the Taliban’s committee for its flip flop method of working out a peace deal has revealed the absence of common areas of interest between the government and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Whatever has been done to appease the TTP by the government such as releasing its prisoners without reciprocity has failed to make any difference. Even when the ceasefire had been in place, the attacks never stopped. Low intensity hits were carried out to keep the government off-balance. The so-called dialogue process does not seem to have reduced terrorism. The policy of retaliation for any deadly attack, as has happened in the aftermath of the Islamabad fruit market explosion, seems to be the reason behind the relatively calmer atmosphere. Now that the TTP has pulled out of the ceasefire agreement and the Jamaat-e-Islami has said rather loud and clear that the Islamic clauses of Pakistan’s constitution should be implemented, the failure of the peace process has started looming. It seems that unless the dialogue toes the TTP’s line, the ambiguity surrounding the peace process would keep growing thicker. It is this ambiguity or the political objective of the Taliban’s committee that has forced Major Amir to pull out of the peace dialogue as one of the government’s mediators. According to Major Amir, a claim reinforced by Chaudhry Nisar, the Taliban are less to be blamed for the stalled dialogue than its negotiating committee that had been playing to the gallery for point scoring. It seems as if the Jamaat has taken over the lead position, huddling the mullahs together to decide about the fate of terrorism vis-a-vis the state. Of late the tension between the government and the army over managing the TTP had been exploited as well to stall the talks. The demand that the army is given centre-stage, suggesting that it is the army calling the shots and the government is simply hiding behind a facade, created even more confusion. For the unpredictability surrounding the peace dialogue, the government is to be blamed the most. If the desire is to keep violence at a minimum by keeping the TTP engaged in dialogue so that peace could be maintained, the government is digging a deeper grave to bury the country’s future.

National Politics in the Czech Republic stays in limbo after its head of state was taken ill soon after the nation held a basic political election.
Milos Zeman, 77, was hurried to healthcare facility on October 10, a day after a ballot that saw Head of state Andrej Babis shed the preferred ballot.
On Monday, authorities confessed that illness were stopping Zeman from functioning which his lasting diagnosis is “extremely unsure”.
On Tuesday, the Czech Us senate’s Constitutional Board elected Zeman ought to be removed of his powers, reported Radio Prague International
Zeman is a hefty cigarette smoker as well as enthusiast that has actually experienced diabetes mellitus. He has difficulty strolling as well as has actually been making use of a mobility device.
While his duty as head of state is greatly ritualistic, he has a crucial duty in picking that to ask to develop a brand-new federal government.
If Zeman isn’t able to act because of his ailment or various other factors, the head of state as well as the audio speakers of both homes of parliament will certainly take control of his governmental powers.
The brand-new audio speaker of the reduced residence will certainly pick the premier if that takes place. The brand-new residence will certainly initially satisfy on November 8 to choose the audio speaker as well as various other authorities. Afterwards, the outbound federal government of Head of state Andrej Babis needs to surrender.
A liberal-conservative, three-party union called With each other won 27.8% of the ballot on Saturday, defeating Babis’ ANO (YES) event, which won 27.1%. A centre-left liberal union got 15.6% to complete 3rd.
Both unions have actually promised to regulate collectively. They’re closer to the European Union mainstream than Euroskeptic Babis.
With each other won 71 of the 200 seats in the reduced residence of parliament as well as the centre-left partnership won 37 seats, which would certainly provide their federal government a comfy, 108-seat bulk.


This article is another step forward in learning more about AVR microcontrollers. We have demonstrated 3 simple LED based projects using ATmega328 microcontroller, which will help you to learn its basic concepts. ATmega328 is an eight bit AVR (Advanced Virtual RISC) based microcontroller. It is a powerful microcontroller with a built-in internal memory of around 32Kb. Most Arduino boards consist of an Atmel 8-bit AVR microcontroller with varying amounts of flash memory, pins, and features. Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328.
AVR microcontrollers are very easy to use. All AVR microcontrollers require Integrated Development Environment(IDE) such as Atmel Studio. Using this IDE, we can create, compile and debug program on all AVR microcontrollers.
Let’s develop simple LED Blinking programs for ATmega328 using Atmel Studio 7.
- Blinking Two LED’s using ATmega328
- Control Two LED’s using a Push button switch
- Toggle Two LED’s using a Push button switch
#1. Blinking Two LED’s using ATmega328
In this section, we will learn How to blink two LEDs with AVR ATmega328 microcontroller. First, we will connect the 2 LED’s with PB2 and PB3 of PORTB of the ATmega328 microcontroller. Then, we will make the 2 LED’s to blink with an interval of 1 second. It means, initially the 1st LED alone will glow and on the next second, it will turn off and the 2nd one will glow. This process continues forever and in this way LEDs blinks continuously.
Assemble the circuit as shown in diagram. A photograph of the assembled circuit is shown below. A video demonstration of the project is shown below.
Blinking Two LED’s Using ATmega328 – Download Program
At the beginning of the program a pre-processor named “F_CPU” is defined. It is simply your way to tell some of the library code how many CPU cycles per second the processor is executing. Here we defined the F_CPU as 1 MHz. “#include <avr/io.h>” is a header files which provides you with various i/o operations like DDRx, PINx, PORTx, etc. “#include <util/delay.h>” is a header file which provides you with inbuilt delay functions like _delay_ms(), _delay_us(), etc. “_delay_ms(1000)” provides a delay of 1000 milliseconds (i.e., equivalent to 1 second).
DDRx – Data Direction Register configures data direction of the port(Input/Output). The instruction “ DDRB |= (1<<DDB2)” makes corresponding port pin as output.
PORTx – Port register is for assigning appropriate values for the port pins.
Writing to PORTx.n will immediately change state of the port pins according to given value. “PORTB |=(1<<PORTB2)” will generate a high signal at PB2. And “PORTB&=~(1<<PORTB3)” is for generating a low signal at PB3.
#2. Control Two LED’s using a Push button switch
Here we are going learn how to control the working of two LED’s using a push button switch. Similar to the earlier circuit, first we will connect the 2 LEDs with PB2 and PB3 of PORTB of the microcontroller. A push button switch is then attached to PB0 pin and pulled-up using a 10K resistor. The remaining terminal of the switch is grounded. The function of a pull-up resistor is to insure that while leaving the switch as not pressed, the status of the PB0 pin should remain high. There are 20K pull-up resistors built into the ATmega chip that can be accessed from software also. But here we are using an external pull-up circuit. When the switch is pressed, the two LED’s will glow and will turn off while we release the switch. This is how the circuit will work.
Assemble the circuit as shown in diagram. A photograph of the assembled circuit is also shown above. A video demonstration of the project is shown below.
Control 2 LED’s Using Push Button Switch – Download Program
We have already discussed about the pre-processors and libraries at the earlier section. The only thing that is newly included in this code is the assigning of PB0 pin as input port and the “if” loop associated with that pin.
“DDRB &= ~(1 << DDB0)” is the code used for assigning PB0 as input port. An “if” loop is included in the “while” loop, which will continuously monitor the status of the PB0 pin and alter the status of the two LED’s accordingly.
PIN register is used to read data from port pins, when port is configured as input. “!(PINB&(1<<PINB0))” is the condition inside the “if” loop, which will decide whether the status of PB0 pin is high or low. When the status reads as low, the controller will turn the LED ON. The LED’s will turn off when the controller reads a low value at the PB0 pin.
#3. Toggle Two LED’s using a Push button switch
In this section, we will toggle the status of the two LED’s according to the input from a button switch. The circuit needed for this is similar to that of the above section. The only difference is in the programming part. And the working of the circuit is also slightly different. Every time when the controller receives input from the switch, it will toggle the current status of the two LED’s.
Assemble the circuit as shown in diagram. A video demonstration of the project is shown below.

Toggle 2 LED’s Using Push Button Switch – Download Program
Similar to the above sections, here also we included the pre-processors and libraries. And the necessary pins are configured as input and output using the DDRx (Data Direction Register). An “if” loop is then included at the main program with a condition “!(PINB&(1<<PINB0))”, which will continuously monitor the status of the PB0 pin.
“PORTB ^= (1<<PINB2)^(1<<PINB3)” is the instruction for toggling the current status of the PB2 and PB3 pins. A 300 ms delay is also included at the end of the program in order to avoid debounce of the push button switch.

IDO WORLD CARIBBEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS!- Press Release 62/2019
The International Dance Organizationís World Caribbean Championships took place over the weekend, in the French city Saint Romain en Gal. The event also featured the IDO World Cups for Salsa and Bachata.
The competition was organised by IDO France and led by Christophe Jeanmougin, with over 200 dancers from 8 countries are taking part. The IDO congratulates the organizers for a wonderful competition and loom forward to returning next year to this city.


I am raising money for special needs transportation in my community for children with disabilities. These students will ride to and from school in new van vehicles boosting their self-confidence and morale. Around the country, an increasing number of educators argue that school systems should provide more integrated transportation for students in special education programs. For the first time, since what is now called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act guaranteed a free, appropriate public education to students with disabilities in 1975, school districts have started using innovative methods to conquer what some call the final frontier for "inclusion": the bus ride. School districts throughout the nation are changing their thinking from the old way of operating two separate bus fleets, one for special education, and one for regular education, which is quite segregating. I still remember to this day in my high school that these students used to hide out at the end of each school day until all of the full-size buses had departed. That way, fewer people would see them board the smaller buses for children with special needs because they were so embarrassed and afraid of being teased. Transportation for special needs purposes is crucial for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities to have equal access to opportunities. All donations are greatly appreciated for this greater cause. Thank you for your support.

The Kansas City Chiefs are off to a hot 3-0 start to the 2019 NFL season, but the rumors & news surrounding this team might be hotter! Jalen Ramsey rumors continue to heat up as the Jaguars CB missed practice earlier this week due to the “flu”. Now he’s supposedly dealing with back and hamstring issues. Ramsey clearly wants out of Jacksonville. What’s the latest in the Chiefs pursuit of him? NFL Daily host Harrison Graham gets you caught up with the latest Chiefs rumors & news IN THE VIDEO ABOVE & BELOW!
Tyreek Hill has been nursing a clavicle injury since Week 1. Could his return be imminent? Chiefs head coach Andy Reid says Hill is “bouncing around” and is eager to get back on the field. Hill is week-to-week at this point, but certainly do not expect him to miss 8 games which was the initial worry. Fox Sports analyst and Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman fired back at The Athletic after they posted a Patrick Mahomes stat which slighted Aikman a bit. Did he go too far? Harrison compares the two quarterbacks from a statistical standpoint on today’s show.

If you’re planning a river cruise, one of the most obvious considerations is a sailing along the famous Danube River. Flowing over 2,400 kilometres (1,491 miles) from the edge of the Black Sea to its final termination point near the town of Kelheim, Germany, the Danube is one of river cruising’s most popular destinations.
It’s also one of the most diverse, and is separated into two sections: the Western Danube (also known on itineraries as simply “the Danube”; and the Eastern Danube, which encompasses the stretch of the river east of the Hungarian capital of Budapest.
Despite the fact that they share the same name, the Eastern and Western Danube provide two very different river cruise experiences. Both are very enjoyable in their own right, but both can lead to disappointment if your expectations are out of line.
After having sailed both stretches of the Danube, we’ve drawn up a handy list of comparisons between the two stretches of river – along with recommendations for which river cruise you should take, depending on your interests.
It’s Your First River Cruise
Take the Western Danube. For first-time river cruisers, the Western Danube – which typically encompasses sailings that begin in Germany and terminate in Hungary, or vice-versa – is the ideal choice. Western Danube itineraries offer a great mix of major European cities like Vienna, juxtaposed alongside small, picturesque towns – we’re looking at you, Durnstein, Austria. The landscape varies from hilly to mountainous, and a small town with a church steeple will pass your ship literally every five minutes as you sail along. As an introduction to both river cruising and Europe, this is the hands-down first-time-cruise winner.
You’re Interested in The History of Communism
Take the Eastern Danube. Needless to say, the Eastern Danube itineraries that operate between Budapest and Bucharest, Romania are the way to go. Although the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and communism in this region collapsed shortly thereafter, Communism’s long shadow still looms darkly over Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia and Croatia, with the latter countries having been terribly affected by the breakup of the former Yugoslavia and the bloody Croatian War of Independence that raged on until 1995. Locals are candid about their history, which is often filled with twists, turns, and regrets. Nearly three decades later, this part of Europe is raw, authentic and engaging.
You Want To See Postcard-Perfect Towns
Take the Western Danube. The Western Danube offers cities like Vienna that are rich with cultural history and modern conveniences. It also happens to be clean, and postcard-perfect throughout, from the gorgeous town of Melk with its imposing, canary-yellow Abbey to the meticulously-preserved cobblestone streets of Passau and Regensburg. The Eastern Danube, on the other hand, can’t quite offer that. The Eastern stretch of the Danube is remarkably flat, and nearly devoid of riverside towns. Which brings us to…
You Want To Dock In The Heart of Town
Take the Western Danube. Although there are cities (Vienna, most notably, and Nuremberg on the Main-Danube Canal) where you’ll have to dock well outside of town, for the most part Western Danube cruise ships tie up right in the heart of the action, with cityside berths in Regensburg, Passau, Linz, Durnstein, Melk, Bratislava and Budapest, just to name a few. On the Eastern Danube, docking locations are primarily industrial in nature, with hour-long motorcoach rides between the pier and the city. The one exception to this is Belgrade, Serbia, which has a picturesque docking location located just steps from the historic Old Town center.
You’re Looking For An Off-The-Beaten-Path Experience
Take the Eastern Danube. If you don’t want to see a single Starbucks location on your journey, take the Eastern Danube. You’ll see McDonalds, Burger King and the odd H&M, but other than that, the Eastern Danube is far less touristic and commercialized than its Western counterpart, which offers all the retail therapy you’ll find at home. Instead, the Eastern Danube is more locally-focused. Restaurants, cafes and bars are family-run and, in many instances, have been operating there for generations. Tourists, while still present during the high-season months of summer, are less prevalent than on the more-popular Western Danube. Some cities (Bucharest, Belgrade) are more modernized than others, with towns like Osijek and Vukovar, Croatia, still recovering from the War of Independence two decades ago.
It’s Your Second River Cruise
Take the Eastern Danube. Without a doubt, if your first river cruise was on the Western Danube, your second voyage should take you to the Eastern Danube. The contrast provided between the two will help you to understand the issues that face countries like Romania and Bulgaria to this day, and the delicate, sometimes complicated balance between acknowledging a communist past while grappling with the uncertainty that surrounds the tenuous version of ‘democracy’ that grips some of these countries to this day. It’s a fascinating look at an often-overlooked part of Europe.
No matter which Danube you choose, you’re going to have a good time. But tailoring your Danube river cruise to your likes and interests can make a big difference.

The best, healthy sourdough brioche you’ll ever make! It’s pillowy soft, delicious, and made with simple ingredients like grassfed butter, pastured eggs, and honey. Most importantly, the dough is naturally fermented with sourdough starter so it’s gut healthy and nutritious. This sourdough brioche is perfect for breakfast with a little jam, an omelet, or topped with mashed avocado.
The last time I was in California, I only had one day in LA and one breakfast to choose, and I was so excited to try SQIRLs viral Ricotta Brioche Toast. I ended up getting their 3 jam rainbow option. It comes with 3 different house-made jams (which were incredible) and ricotta on a thick slice of toasted brioche. I’m pretty sure they toast in a pan with some butter. It’s what inspired this video I posted on TikTok, and today I’m going to show you how to make my version of the brioche from SQIRL.
For this brioche recipe, the bread is naturally fermented with sourdough so its gut healthy, nutritious, and the perfect way to fuel your morning (or anytime of day). This recipe also makes a brioche that is light and flavorful (from the pastured eggs, grassfed butter, and honey) without being too rich.
It’s one of the reasons I’m so obsessed.
I promise it’ll quickly become one of your favorite sourdough breads and such an easy weekly staple. Also, unlike artisan bread I find that a slice of sourdough brioche really speaks for itself and needs minimal toppings. A little bit of jam or mashed avocado goes a long way. My favorite way to enjoy brioche is cutting one slice and topping it with a tiny bit of this miso and then a veggie omelet on top. The omelet is always loaded with mushrooms, spinach, and fresh herbs (and I eat it as an open face sandwich with a knife and fork).
My favorite ways to enjoy a slice of sourdough brioche:
- My fave sweet white miso & a yolky eggs on top
- ¼ mashed avocado with 3 poached eggs (salt & pepper)
- Mushroom, spinach, and herby veggie omelet on top
- For a sweet snack: 2 TSP almond butter and 1 TSP of homemade strawberry chia jam
- As a sandwich: sliced turkey, sprouts, thinly sliced cucumber, & a drizzle of balsamic
- French toast w/ a drizzle of maple syrup and over-easy yolky eggs
- Dipped + eaten with a salad on the side (EVOO & Balsamic)
✨Health Benefits of Sourdough Bread✨
Sourdough bread is unlike all other types of breads because they go through a long and slow natural fermentation with wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (LAB). This ancient, 6,000-year-old tradition has remarkable health benefits. Sourdough fermentation makes wheat and other grains easy to digest and more nutritious because it degrades gluten, removes anti-nutrients, and breaks down FODMAPs and starches. Sourdough bread is chock full of fiber, prebiotics, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it an all-around microbiome superfood.
Why you’ll love this sourdough brioche
- Soft and fluffy: The lightest, fluffiest sourdough brioche recipe without any complicated steps.
- Insanely delicious: A thick slice of sourdough brioche at breakfast has quickly become a staple because it’s so darn good.
- Easy to make: This brioche recipe is easy to make (easier than artisan bread) without any unnecessary or complicated steps.
- Healthy and energizing: This brioche recipe is made with simple clean ingredients only and naturally fermented with sourdough starter for optimal nutrition. This is quite literally the healthiest brioche you’ll ever eat.
My Secret to Making This Sourdough Brioche Healthy
This sourdough brioche is made with simple clean ingredients like pastured eggs, grassfed butter, grassfed milk (or raw milk if you’re like me), and raw honey. The recipe also calls for a natural fermentation with sourdough culture.
LET’S GET SPECIFIC:
Sourdough Fermentation. This brioche is naturally fermented with sourdough starter instead of a rapid fermentation with commercial yeast. Sourdough fermentation makes grains easy to digest and nutritious because it degrades gluten, removes anti-nutrients, and breaks down FODMAPs and starches – this process also makes nutrients like B vitamins and minerals bioavailable. This sourdough brioche is chock full of fiber, prebiotics, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it an all-around microbiome superfood.
Alll the Health benefits of sourdough
- Supports gut health
- Bioavailable nutrients
- Degrades Gluten
- Prebiotic Fiber
- Easy To Digest
- Low Glycemic
Organic, High-Quality Flour: I use a blend of organic (stone-milled) whole wheat and white bread flour because it provides the perfect balance of structure, flavor, and nutrition.
Lightly Enriched w/ Grass-fed Butter: This recipe calls for a modest amount of grassfed butter so the bread is flavorful and soft but not too rich or heavy. I love grassfed butter because it has anti-inflammatory and energizing properties, rich in Omega 3s, CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) Butyrate, and vitamins and minerals like Vitamin A, D, K and E.
Pastured Eggs: Pasture-raised eggs are far richer in Vitam E, A, Vitamin D and Beta Carotene, and Omega 3s than commercial eggs.
Lightly Sweetened with Raw Honey: My recipe is naturally and lightly sweetened with raw honey. I love honey because it’s antioxidant-rich and anti-inflammatory.
Grassfed Milk or Raw Milk or Raw Kefir (or fave milk of choice): You know my go-to is always raw milk because it’s unprocessed and contains all the living probiotic bacteria and essential enzymes we want. Raw milk is easy to digest, anti-inflammatory and rich in Vitamin A, Magnesium, Zinc, and Vitamin B1. It’s also a great source of protein and healthy fatty acids like CLA and Omega 3s.
Clean, simple ingredients: Nothing artificial, no commercial yeast, and no preservatives.

Sourdough Brioche Bread Baking Schedule
This is what a typical bread-making schedule looks like for me.
P.S. Temperature AND the activity of your sourdough starter are the single most important factors that affect fermentation. The warmer your place, the faster your dough will ferment. The more active your starter, the faster and more effectively your dough will ferment. So please use my schedule as simply a jumping-off point for your own.
Prepare sourdough starter
- 9 PM: Prepare sourdough starter. Either feed your sourdough starter the night before to prepare or if your sourdough starter is in the fridge be sure to feed it every 12 hours, 3 days before you plan to bake.
- 9 AM – Soften butter slightly in your oven (until soft but not melty). Mix dough, cover, and let sit at room temp until it doubles in size (6-8 hours). Perform 3-4 sets of “stretch and folds”.
- 5 PM – Place in the fridge for at 12 hours but up to 24 hours.
- 9 AM: Shape loaf and place snuggly into loaf pan. Let the dough proof until it nearly doubles in size (4-6 hours)
- 3 PM: Bake!
Ingredients for Healthy Sourdough Brioche
This healthy sourdough brioche bread recipe uses simple ingredients to create a nutritious, fluffy bread perfect for everyday nourishment. Here’s everything you’ll need to make it.
5 CORE INGREDIENTS
- Bread Flour: A high-protein bread flour is needed for this recipe. I used King Arthur’s organic white bread flour with a mix of King Arthur’s stone-ground organic whole wheat flour.
- Water: Preferably warm water is best! Warmer water helps kickstart fermentation.
- Grass-fed Butter: You can use coconut oil or ghee for this recipe too. The texture might vary slightly with coconut oil.
- Sourdough Starter: Be sure you are using an active sourdough starter (not discard).
- Pastured Eggs
- Milk of choice: I like to use raw milk but you can use grassfed milk, nut milk, or even kefir (or raw kefir). You can also use water for this recipe but it will be less soft but still delicious.
- Honey or Coconut Sugar: I used raw honey for this recipe but coconut sugar or cane sugar will work great too.
- Sea Salt: Enhances flavor (and nutrition) by slowing fermentation.
Eggs: You’ll brush your brioche with an egg wash prior to baking.
Equipment Needed for Sourdough Brioche
- Kitchen Scale – I recommend this digital scale or this non-digital scal
- 9×5 Pan: I recommend using a 9×5 or 8×4 Loaf Pan. I use this one here.
- Scoring Tool – I actually like to buy mine from Etsy sellers like this one but this one is also great.
- Dough Scraper: Used for dividing our dough.
Tips for Making Sourdough Brioche
What flour is best for this recipe?
A high-protein bread flour is needed for this recipe. I used King Arthur’s organic white bread flour with a mix of King Arthur’s stone-ground organic whole wheat flour.
When is bulk fermentation done?
The best way to tell if bulk fermentation is done is when the dough has doubled in size, air bubbles form on top, and air pockets on the sides and bottom. The dough should feel airated.
Why do you do an overnight proof too?
The over night proof is really where the magic happens. At this point, the dough has risen sufficiently, so we’re ready to slow that process down. The cold temperature of the fridge will drastically reduce yeast activity, and your dough will likely rise a tiny bit overnight. But the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) will work all through the night, converting simple sugars into lactic acid and breaking down gluten proteins. This microbial activity develops flavor, improves texture, and enhances the nutritional value and digestibility of bread.
Is an overnight proof optional?
I do not recommend omitting the overnight proof because of all the health benefits listed above and the improved texture/flavor of the final bread. The overnight proof will help contribute to the soft texture.
Can I make this brioche vegan?
Yes, definitely! Substitute olive oil, ghee avocado oil, or melted (not hot) coconut oil for butter and a “flax egg” for each egg. To make a flax egg, simply combine 1 TBSP flaxseed meal with 2 TBSPs water. Stir and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it congeals.
Can I use water instead of milk?
Yes, definitely but the dough will be less soft. Still perfect though!
Can I use coconut oil or ghee instead of butter?
Yes, you can. I highly recommend butter for the softest texture but coconut oil, ghee, avocado oil, olive oil, or melted (not hot) coconut oil.
Why does the dough seem so wet?
A brioche dough is a wet dough and will feel very different than artisan bread dough. Don’t be tempted to add more flour during the mixing process!
How to Store Sourdough Brioche Bread:
I recommend storing your bread covered on the counter for a day and then transferring it to the fridge on day 2. If you’d like to freeze your brioche bread, slice and securely wrap or place it in a food storage container. I love to toast my brioche bread after the first day in a toaster oven, toaster, or on the stove top. To heat on the stove, just place a slice on a preheated pan (to medium) for 1 minute on each side.

In the early days of online lending, the big appeal was access to funds for potential borrowers with few, if any, options for securing capital.
Now, the tech-driven underwriting models that promised to assess risk more accurately, and extend credit more efficiently, may be confirmation that traditional risk and lending business models may have more going for them than their new, FinTech challengers once thought.
The Coming Risk Assessment Reset
According to recent reports, some of the largest marketplace lending players in the field — SoFi, LendingClub, Avant, Prosper — are being pushed by their investors to batten down their credit hatches and demand better credit scores from their borrowers, as well as shorter maturities so they can make more attractive offerings to investors as they look to repackage those loans into asset-backed securities.
The move comes in the face of growing evidence that the loans they have sold and secured have not quite performed up to par. The wave of borrower defaults has forced many such platforms to pivot toward a quality borrower-focused future.
“They all had a pretty tough time and took losses a lot more than expected,” said Henry Song, a portfolio manager at Diamond Hill Capital Management Inc. “Some dropped certain grades, and the mentality of grabbing market share to be profitable has shifted.”
Some of the trouble, Bill Kassul — a principal at Ranger Capital Group in Dallas — told Bloomberg in an interview, is that the marketplace consumer lenders are all essentially trawling in the same waters, looking for millennial borrowers who are comfortable with borrowing online and have been traditionally underserved. Of late, it seems they have also added the criteria: must be at least somewhat likely to pay back their loan.
The problem, according to Kassul, is that, since everyone is running after the same, rather thin slice of the customer pie, the firms ended up in a race to the bottom, which ended with some unsustainable results. Kassul noted his firm used to invest in ABS from the lending marketplaces but, eventually, there just wasn’t enough profit in it.
“Yields were going down, a lot of that was due to competition. They were lowering rates just to stay competitive with each other,” he said.
Pushing For Quality
Realizing that the race to the bottom isn’t a competition that can be won, it seems the marketplace lenders are being forced to take on a new strategy, according to Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA). This, in turn, has led to firms raising their rates, turning back lower credit consumers and shortening the terms of their loans.
Rosemary Kelley, a senior managing director at KBRA, said in an interview, “We have seen many of the platforms tightening their underwriting or essentially eliminating certain segments. They are changing certain criteria in order to move up-tier somewhat in terms of the credit that they’re taking.”
According to KBRA, the number of asset-backed securities issues by online lenders, that saw performance triggers activated by missed payments, declined last year. As that falloff occurred, total loan losses rose, which signaled an increase in overall quality in the securities, according to KBRA.
That experience echoes among at least some lenders that say their risk profile has changed quite a bit over the last few quarters.
According to KBRA, the weighted average of FICO credit scores of Prosper’s loans, packaged in ABS, increased to 717 in a March 2018 deal from 704 in a sale two years earlier. And they weren’t the only lender to see its average score go up — SoFi, increased the weighted average of its FICO credit scores to 744 in a sale earlier this year from 732 in a deal at the start of last year.
LendingClub had no new figures to offer, but Jessie Szymanski, senior director of LendingClub, told Bloomberg in a phone interview that it has been eliminating the riskiest borrowers in its loan offerings.
“Investors are changing their behavior on the margin and tending to gravitate toward higher-quality, lower-risk grades,” she said.
With a new paradigm in mind, most experts expect that more securitized loans are coming — “the sector is expected to increase the amount of loans it turns into securities by 29 percent from a year earlier to $18 billion this year, according to New York-based research firm PeerIQ.”
Will those securities pay?
Tracy Chen, a Philadelphia-based portfolio manager at Brandywine Global Investment Management, says her firm isn’t ready to bet on securities from the segment yet because it has not yet functioned all the way through a boom-and-bust cycle. They know how these firms did in a boom but “this market hasn’t gone through a credit crisis, so it’s hard to find conviction of how it will perform,” Chen said.
Plus, these firms are already pushing fairly deep into prime credit today. It remains to be seen who they could expand their lending to — if a credit crunch occurs.

Alberta Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith says mistake to tweet meat for homeless
Alberta’s Wildrose Opposition Leader Danielle Smith says it was a mistake for her to tweet that properly cooked tainted meat could feed the homeless.

EDMONTON—Alberta’s Wildrose Opposition Leader Danielle Smith says it was a mistake for her to tweet that properly cooked tainted meat could feed the homeless.
Smith told an open line radio show that if you can’t explain your position in 140 characters on Twitter, you shouldn’t try.
On the weekend, Smith went on Twitter to suggest meat that had to be recalled by XL Foods in Brooks, Alta., could be cooked thoroughly to destroy E.coli bacteria and then fed to the homeless.

NDP Leader Brian Mason suggested Smith has so little regard for Albertans in poverty she’s OK with feeding them tainted meat.
Smith says the angry reaction to her tweet shows that people have so little faith in what officials are doing over the beef crisis, that anything short of destroying the meat is unacceptable.
The company has decided to dump the meat in a landfill, and Smith now says that’s probably the best way to go.

The Watermill Center
will conclude its inaugural reACT series with performances of Jack Ferver's multidisciplinary work Chambre
on Saturday, October 29th beginning at 5 p.m.
first premiered in October 2015 at New Museum in New York City
. It is a collaboration between the American writer, choreographer, and director Jack Ferver and American visual artist Marc Swanson who takes Jean Genet's Les Bonnes (The Maids)
as a point of departure for a farcical and haunting attack on our culture of celebrity and greed.
"We're watching Ferver the postmodernist, the comic playwright, the social critic and provocateur. He consistently engages with ideas of selling the show and himself (he chose the title because it's "fancy-sounding"), and in this we see the fury at the heart of his humor," said Helen Shaw of TimeOut.
Ferver is joined by performers Jacob Slominski and Michelle Mola in an exquisite and outrageous performance that asks not how such a violent thing could have happened, but why things like this do not happen more
"Hot on the heels of the inaugural reACT series performance with Trisha Brown Dance Company in May 2016, and our most successful Watermill Center Annual Summer Benefit & Auction to-date, we're thrilled to invite the public to Watermill for yet another culturally engaging evening with a captivating performance by one of our resident artist alumni," shared William Wagner, former Managing Director of the Byrd Hoffman Water Mill Foundation.
Ferver is known for his exquisite and outrageous performances. (Courtesy Photo)
The Watermill Center's inaugural reACT series showcases the work of former Watermill Resident Artists and provides audience members with a unique opportunity to experience these works where they were originally developed - in part or in full. This series launched earlier this year with the Trisha Brown Dance Company.
Tickets are $30 and $25 for members. Please note Chambre
includes mature and graphic content that the artist feels is inappropriate for children.
The Watermill Center is located at 39 Water Mill Towd Road in Water Mill. For more information, call 212-253-7484 ext. 115 or visit www.watermillcenter.org. To learn more about Jack Ferver, visit www.jackferver.org.
