New Tools for Galactic Archaeology from the Milky Way
Gail Zasowski, John Hopkins University
One of the critical components for understanding galaxy evolution is understanding the Milky Way Galaxy itself — its detailed structure and chemodynamical properties, as well as fundamental stellar physics, which we can only study in great detail locally. This field is currently undergoing a dramatic expansion towards the kinds of large-scale statistical analyses long used by the extragalactic and other communities, thanks in part to an enormous influx of data from space- and ground-based surveys. I will describe the Milky Way and Local Group in the context of general galaxy evolution and highlight some recent developments in Galactic astrophysics that take advantage of these big data sets and analysis techniques. In particular, I will focus on two diverse approaches: one to characterize the distribution and dynamics of the carbon-rich, dusty diffuse ISM, and one to map the resolved bulk stellar properties of the inner disk and bulge. The rapid progress in these areas promises to continue, with the arrival of data sets from missions like SDSS, Gaia, LSST, and WFIRST.
The Thirty Meter Telescope: The Next Generation Ground Based Optical/InfraRed Observatory
Dr. Warren Skidmore, Thirty Meter Telescope Corp.
Abstract: After a construction status update, I will describe how the telescope design was developed to support a broad range of observing capabilities and how the observatory is being engineered. I’ll discuss some of the observational capabilities that the Thirty Meter Telescope will provide and some of the areas of study that will benefit from the TMT’s capabilities, specifically synergistic areas with new and future proposed astronomical facilities. Finally I will describe the avenues through which astronomers can have some input in the planning of the project and potential NSF partnership, prioritizing the development of 2nd generation instruments and directing the scientific aims for the observatory.
The NMSU Department of Astronomy will hold an observatory open house at the NMSU campus observatory at 8 p.m.Friday, Sept. 9. Astronomy personnel on hand will be Chris Churchill and graduate assistants Xander Thelen, Trevor Picard and Jacob Vander Vliet.
Guests can view Mars and Saturn together in the evening sky in the constellation of Scorpio. Telescopes will also have the center of the Milky Way Galaxy in view, and in this region there are many beautiful star clusters and globular clusters (tight groups of millions of stars). High in the sky, viewers will see the constellation Vega with its double-double star system and the famous ring nebula, which is the remnants of a dying star much like our own sun. The moon will be in the phase called first quarter and will make a wonderful sight.
Contact the NMSU Astronomy Department at 575-646-4438 with questions. Everyone is welcome to come and spend an evening of stargazing. Admission is free and children are especially welcome to attend.

Sansa on "Game of Thrones" has been on quite the roller coaster throughout Season 3 and Izzy Meikle-Small, who lost the role to the HBO show's star Sophie Turner, doesn't regret missing out on the wild ride.
“I got to the final two to play Lady Sansa Sark," 17-year-old East Sussex-born Meikle-Small told The Telegraph recently at London screening of "The Big Wedding." "I was a bit sad, because the show’s massive, but I’m not that unhappy, because they all show a lot of flesh, don’t they? I don’t think my parents would be happy.”
Turner, who is also 17, hasn't had to show any skin yet -- Sansa avoided consummating her marriage to Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) earlier in the show's current third season.
Check out Meikle-Small and Turner as Sansa on "Game Of Thrones" side-by-side below:
Though she may have missed out on playing Sansa on the hit HBO series, Meikle-Small has won roles in some big projects: She portrayed the younger version of Carey Mulligan's character Kathy H. in "Never Let Me Go"; she was also in TV version of "Great Expectations" as young Estella and had a minor role in "Snow White and the Huntsman," starring Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron.
And Meikle-Small is far from the only actress who just missed out on "Game Of Thrones." In the pilot of what's become a record-breaking, award-winning series, Daenerys Targaryen was played by Tamzin Merchant, who played Henry VIII's fifth wife Catherine Howard on Showtime's "The Tudors." But after the "Game Of Thrones" pilot filmed in late 2009, the show went in a different direction and now-25-year-old Emilia Clarke got a life-changing call "out of the blue," she told The New York Times.
Check out the actresses side-by-side below:
Nor is Daenerys the only "Game of Thrones" character that was recast after the pilot: Catelyn Stark was originally played by Jennifer Ehle. The "Zero Dark Thirty" actress dropped out of the project a month before Merchant was given the boot and Michelle Fairley took on the role of Catelyn shortly thereafter.
Check out the actress here:

"Game of Thrones" Season 3 airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.

What the results are if I do not spend my student education loansJaroco
Since my April education loan repayment towards the U.S. Department of Education ended up being processed, I currently have about $15,575 staying on my stability for Denver’s Regis University, from where I graduated last year. Previously, as we paid back a lot of my financial obligation hill, we took down several forbearances.
To phrase it differently, i understand just just what it is choose to have the stress of pupil financial obligation. But difficulty and costliness are perhaps not sufficient to justify forcing taxpayers to spend my bills for me, or anyone else’s.
Presidential contender and Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s new, “transformational” proposition for “universal free public college and termination of education loan financial obligation” was presented in A medium post. Her Magic Student Loan Debt Eraser is just a utopian fantasy, and also the incorrect “solution” to a problem that is legitimate.
Where Warren Really Gets It Appropriate
At $1.5 trillion and skyrocketing almost 450 per cent in past times 15 years (from $345 billion in 2004), education loan financial obligation has now reached “crisis levels. ” In 2018, the Brookings organization discovered that “nearly 40% of borrowers may default to their student education loans by 2023. ”
Warren properly notes that excessive pupil debt contributes to lessen home ownership rates, slowing small company generation and increasing dropouts. She’s right that federal policies have actually “pushed families that can’t manage to pay the crazy expenses of advanced schooling towards taking out loans. ”
Impoverished and minority communities are profoundly harmed by the system that is current. As an example, as Dr. Richard Vedder place it, “In 1970 the underside quartile of families by income taken into account 12 % of total bachelor’s degrees received by age 24, but those families only accounted for 9.4 percent this year. ”
Where Warren goes incorrect is in misidentifying the source causes and exactly how to stem the crisis. Its origin is not a deep failing to “treat advanced schooling like our school that is public system–free available to all. ” It’s because of a unsuccessful government-designed system.
We Found Myself In This Wreck Havoc On Government Payouts
For many years, the fallacy that everybody must head to college spurred the federal government to significantly expand its part in growing how many students. The swing of genius: because they will be better able to afford it if we dole out financial aid, more people will go to college. However the maxims of supply and demand don’t disappear simply because we think there was a stronger demand that is“social for something.
In 1987, Secretary of Education Bill Bennett posed their Bennett Hypothesis: “Increases in educational funding in the past few years have actually enabled universities and colleges blithely to improve their tuitions, confident that Federal loan subsidies would help cushion the enhance. ” Thirty-two years later on, the test has continued unabated since these scheduled programs have actually exploded. I’ve renamed it Bennett’s Law of Tuition Stimulation. As explained in a 2017 op-ed:
In 2015 the Federal Reserve Bank of New York observed a correlation that is direct education loan borrowing and tuition amounts, noting that ‘higher tuition costs raise loan demand, but loan supply…relaxes students’ capital constraints. ’ The Fed talked of a effect that is‘pass-through tuition, ’ whereby, for each and every buck gotten in subsidized federal loans, tuition rises 65 cents. They report comparable findings for Pell Grants (55 cents) and unsubsidized loans (30 cents).
Whilst the Fed research indicates, pupil debt is not rising mainly because university is simply too costly. Instead, college is too expensive due to increasing figuratively speaking and funds. Dr. Richard Vedder, manager associated with Center for university Affordability and Productivity discovered that, “When some body apart from the individual is having to pay the bills, those bills have a tendency to explode considering that the buyer is certainly not responsive to cost. ” The expansion of student loans and other third-party payments for college leads to higher costs by separating students from the actual cost of tuition in other words.
A lot more, starting in 1976 and finalized by 2005, Congress practically eliminated borrowers’ capacity to escape standard through discharging their pupil financial obligation in bankruptcy. Before then, loans had been harder to have and high-interest simply because they might be released. Plus, most loans originated in personal loan providers, with an increase of limited federal government participation (undone by the Affordable Care Act).
At that moment, loan providers took in risk once they provided away loans, motivating more very very carefully developed loan requirements that helped down hold costs. The floodgates started as Congress chipped away at—and finally neutered—bankruptcy protection.
An Alternative Proposition
- Correct bankruptcy protectionfor profoundly indebted borrowers. Not even close to “canceling student debt” outright, bankruptcy security provides an away for all those in the verge of default. Much more, it can restore danger into the loan provider in addition to a feeling of obligation to make loan choices. Legislation happens to be introduced to achieve this.
- Make individual higher ed organizations accountable for a share for the losings for a discharged or defaulted loan. Tucker Carlson has advocated this “cosigning” concept for defaults, and Warren also cosponsored a bill to determine risk-sharing between borrowers and colleges—forcing organizations to help make smarter decisions on system offerings. (Colleges would be cosigners on future loans. )
- Approve legislation like theStudent Loan Repayment Acceleration Acttohelp borrowers pay off their loans more quickly. Sen. Cory Gardner (R–CO) has introduced a bill to allow companies and employees together contribute as minute loan center much as $10,000 yearly tax-free up to a 401k-style account fully for student loan repayment. A number that is growing of are providing this as good results, and Gardner’s concept would be to expand the offering. Additionally, self-employed and sole-proprietors could claim pupil financial obligation as an above-the-line deduction as much as $10,000 each year. Whilst not sweeping, the SLRAA would provide much-needed relief.
- Basically reformhow we fund higher training. Existing education loan programs must certanly be consolidated and tightened up in quantity and accessibility, and preferably privatized, and in conjunction with a repayment that is income-based and refinancing choices. Congress should consolidate available taxation credits, reorganize Pell Grants in to a Pell Stipend (voucher) program, and revamp the broken certification system.
The way we fund advanced schooling in the us today isn’t working, but offering free university goody bags and utilizing a secret eraser to wipe away pupil debt is not the solution that is right. There are many effective options which are cost-effective, respect individual obligation, and address the root associated with the problem. Allow significant debate commence.

The latest U.S. inflation numbers have been released and indicate that prices are continuing to rise. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, inflation in the US is higher than the majority of the of the world by more than 3 percentage points. This could explain why the US inflation rate has been higher than the global average rate over the last decade. Oscar Jorda (the bank’s senior policy advisor) warns against interpreting too much into these numbers. Still, the general picture is clear.
Inflation rates are determined by various factors. The CPI is the price index used by the government to gauge inflation. The Labor Department calculates it by conducting a survey of households. It is a measure of the amount spent on services or goods however it does not include non-direct expenses which makes the CPI less stable. Inflation data should be viewed in relation to other data and not as a stand-alone figure.
The Consumer Price Index is the most commonly used inflation rate in the United States, which measures the changes in the cost of products and services. The index is updated every month and gives a clear picture of how much prices have increased. This index shows the average cost of both services and goods, which is useful to budget and plan. Consumers are likely to be worried about the price of products and services. However, it is important to know why prices are increasing.
The cost of production goes up which raises prices. This is often referred to as cost-push inflation. It is a rising cost of raw materials, like petroleum products or precious metals. It also involves agricultural products. It is important to keep in mind that when a commodity’s prices increase, it can also affect its price.
It’s difficult to find data on inflation. However there is a method to calculate the amount it will cost to buy goods and services over an entire year. Utilizing the real rate of return (CRR) is an accurate estimation of what an investment for a nominal year should be. With that in mind the next time you are looking to buy stocks or bonds, make sure you use the actual inflation rate of the commodity.
The Consumer Price Index is currently 8.3 percent higher than its level one year ago. This was the highest annual rate since April 1986. Since rents comprise an important portion of the CPI basket, inflation is likely to continue to increase. In addition the increasing cost of homes and mortgage rates make it harder for many people to purchase a home which increases the demand for rental accommodation. Further, the potential of railroad workers affecting the US railway system could result in disruptions in the transport of goods.
The Fed’s interest rate for short-term loans has risen to a 2.25 percent level in the past year, a significant improvement from the near zero-target rate. According to the central bank, inflation is likely to increase by just half a percent in the coming year. It’s difficult to tell whether this rise is enough to control the rising inflation.
Core inflation is a term used to describe volatile food and oil prices, and is around 2%. Core inflation is often reported in a year-over year basis and is what the Federal Reserve means when it declares its inflation target to be 2%. In the past, the core rate was below the target for a long time but it has recently started increasing to a point that has caused harm to many businesses.

Who is President Rodrigo Duterte’s God?
This was the question raised Thursday by Senator Antonio Trillanes IV amid the President’s statement that the God he believes in is not the same as the God of the Catholic Church and Christians.
“Sino ba ang Diyos niya kung hindi ‘yung Diyos, hindi lang ng Kristiyano kundi Diyos na pinaniniwalaan ng tao. E sino ito? Baka may sungay itong Diyos niya,” Trillanes said during the weekly Kapihan sa Senado new forum.
“Who is this stupid God? Estupido talaga itong p***** ina kung ganun. You created some—something perfect and then you think of an event that would tempt and destroy the quality of your work," Duterte said in a speech in Davao City during the opening of the 2018 National ICT Summit on June 23.
“Sinabi ko your God is not my God because your God is stupid. Mine has a lot of common sense,” he said in a speech before newly elected barangay chairpersons of Northern Mindanao in Cagayan de Oro City.
Duterte has since created a panel to talk with the Catholic Church and other religious organizations over his controversial remark.
But Trillanes said the dialogue will not address the problem unless the President issues a sincere apology because he offended not only the Catholic church leaders but the entire Filipino Catholics and Christians.
“‘Yung atraso ni Duterte hindi lang sa mga CBCP leaders o church leaders, sa lahat ito ng Filipino Christians at sa Diyos, of course. ‘Yung faith ng Filipino Christians ay yinurakan niya at ‘yun ang kasalanan niya na hindi ito maaayos ng dialogue na ‘yan,” he said.
“‘Yung argument nila na ito daw ay karapatan ni Duterte na magsabi siya ng kanyang sariling pananampalataya, hindi ‘yun ang issue e. Ang issue dito ay ‘yung pananampalataya ng Kristiyanong Fiipino. Wala kang karapatan na idisrespect at i-mock ‘yun. ‘Yun ang issue, ‘yun ang kasalanan niya. Ililihis niya na ‘yung Diyos daw ng Kristyano ay istupido, ‘yung Diyos daw niya ay perpekto,” he added.
Sought for his comment, presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said: “Ewan ko ba parang nagiging specialist na on the devil itong si Senator Trillanes. Wala ng sinabi kung hindi devil. So I’ll leave it to him as the specialist on what the devil does.”
Roque also said he was no longer surprised by Trillanes’ call for the President to apologize over the incident. “I think Senator Trillanes is entitled to his own opinion. I’m hardly surprised about this latest opinion. He’s had nothing good to say about the President. I think the feeling naman is mutual.”
Claim of being abused
At the same time, Trillanes expressed doubt on the claim of Duterte that he was abused by a Catholic priest when he was young.
“Ginagawa niya dina-justify ito dahil inabuso siya nung bata siya. HIndi ako naniniwala run dahil anak siya ng governor, may mga bodyguard siya, matatakot ang pari abusuhin siya. Very powerful ang tatay niya e hindi maglalakas loob ang pari,” he said.
Trillanes said that even if Duterte was indeed abused, it is still not right for him to mock other people’s faith.
Terrorizing the Church?
Trillanes said he believes what the President is doing is terrorizing the Catholic Church which has been opposing his policy against extrajudicial killings.
“Ang ginagawa niya, tinatakot niya lahat ng Pinoy kasi itong Catholic Church, isa sa mga sektor na nage-express ng concern sa mga polisiya niya, ayaw niya nang ganun, gusto niya lahat lumuluhod sa kanya,” he said.
“Since hindi niya makontrol, gusto niya ngayon itong Catholic ay umalis at ‘wag maniwala sa mga pari, sinisiraan niya para di pakikinggan ang mga sermon at ‘wag na raw magsimba at pumunta na lang daw dun sa Iglesia ni Duterte kung saan lahat ng kasalanan puwedeng gawin. Ganun ang ginagawa niya para mabawasan ang credibility,” he added.
Trillanes said what Duterte is doing will have a backlash.
“For sure iba (ang backlash) kasi ang faith, alam mo ang Pinoy sa hirap na pinagdaraanan ‘yung faith ang nagpapalakas sa kanya, nagmo-motivate sa kanya to wake up in the morning,” he said.
Asked if praying for Duterte would work, the senator said he believes something will happen.
“Naniniwala tayo na prayers can do miracles pero hindi ‘yung gusto natin na paraan na magbabago siya. Kapag nagdasal kayo hayaan n’yo naman ang Diyos na dumiskarte kung ano ang gusto nya, pag sinabi n’yang tama ka na dyan marami na ang nahihirapan kukunin ka na ng kabila,” he said. — with Virgil Lopez/RSJ, GMA News


A security flaw in EA’s Origin client exposed users accounts to hackers
Popular online game sharing and downloading site, Origin was found to have a major breach in security. The gaming community is in a state of shock as Origin is run by the gaming giant EA. However, it has fixed the vulnerability in the platform after security researchers found they could trick an unsuspecting gamer into remotely running malicious code on their computer. The bug affected only Windows users who had the application installed, MacOS users remain unaffected. Origin is widely used to buy, access and download games. However, to make it easier to access an individual game’s store from the web, the client has its own URL scheme that allows gamers to open the app and load a game from a web page by clicking a link by adding to
origin:// the address. The bug was sought out by security researchers, Daley Bee and Dominik Penner of Underdog Security. They found that the application could be manipulated into running any application on the unsuspecting users PC. TechCrunch, a technology analysis website was provided a proof of concept code. Upon running the code they revealed that The code allowed any app to run at the same level of privileges as the logged-in user. In this case, the researchers popped open the Windows calculator the go-to app for hackers to show they can run code remotely on an affected computer. Bee said a malicious link could be sent as an email or listed on a webpage, but could also triggered if the malicious code was combined with cross-site scripting exploit that ran automatically in the browser. This flaw also allows a hacker to access a users account without the password. The level of complacency that EA has shown here is rather appalling, users expect more from a company that has been in the industry for as long as they have.


In addition to the three state executives, the Post reports that the group will also include other Dem politicians who, alongside Pritzker and his peers, will coordinate on a bevy of 2024 campaign issues and act as surrogates in the runup to what's expected to be another raucous national race.
U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said of the group: “Our challenge is to get that message out to factory towns, to rural communities and communities of color. We need 20, 30 surrogates from the party going out there in communities, telling stories to communicate this vision.”
While pundits saw Biden's State of the Union speech as laying the groundwork for his re-election campaign, the president has yet to formally announce it, even as multiple GOP contenders, including former President Donald Trump, have already announced their campaigns or, like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, are building momentum to an expected launch.
Without a primary to worry about in his own re-election run last summer, Pritzker spent time making the rounds to other states like New Hampshire and Florida speaking to Democratic groups and the media, generating whispers he was considering a 2024 campaign if Biden didn't run.
The group of Biden surrogates would also be a key way to energize Democratic voters to support the president's re-election campaign given multiple polls have shown Dem voters have a desire for someone other than Biden to run for the White House.

How to Speed Up a 3G Connection
Third Generation mobile technology, often called 3G for short, provides high-speed Internet connectivity on your cellphone. 3G technology allows for download speeds as fast as 14.4 megabits per second and upload speeds as fast as 5.8 mbs, according to DSL IP Guide. This maximum connection speed is fast, but a 3G phone still can perform sluggishly if your device experiences glitches or if your signal strength is weak. 3G cellphones rarely reach the maximum operating speeds, but there are methods available to help speed up a 3G connection.
Things You'll Need
- USB cable
Restart your mobile phone. In some cases, minor software glitches on your cellphone can slow down the 3G network. Think of your phone as a miniature computer. Just like a home computer, a phone can experience minor operating bugs. Rebooting the phone purges the system and starts fresh, without certain errors. Some errors may remain, however, if the errors tend to appear during the boot cycle.
Update your phone's software. Restarting the system sometimes offers temporary relief, but long-term glitch prevention will require updating the phone. Many smartphones will download updates automatically when they are connected to a computer with a USB cable. With the latest updates installed, your phone will run smoother and surf 3G networks faster.
Close peripheral applications. If your phone uses several online apps, consider closing these down before you browse the web. While instant weather updates, online messaging and other Internet apps are fun, they consume bandwidth and slow down your 3G speed. If you want a faster connection, get rid of clutter before going online.
Move close to a window or go outside if possible. Like a regular cellphone signal, 3G wireless signals are weaker indoors. Get out into the open for a faster 3G connection.
Make sure your Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card is properly attached to your phone. A loose SIM card can greatly diminish signal strength, according to CNet. Every phone's SIM card is in a different location, and some require special tools for access. Consult your user manual for details, or visit your mobile phone provider's storefront.
Reset your mobile phone to factory conditions. If your 3G phone is still very slow, you can restore your phone to its original, fully functional condition. This is only useful for people who notice a general decline in 3G speed. If your phone used to be fast, then it became slower over time, a system reset can return the mobile phone to its earlier operating condition. Just remember, a full reset will delete your personal information, so backup any address books, music or pictures before resetting your 3G phone. To reset your 3G mobile device, you will need to locate "Reset" or "Restore" in the "Tools" menu, and you will likely need to provide a password. If you don't know your administrative password, call your service provider for details.

Located along the banks of the Chao Praya River, Bangkok’s Grand Palace is undoubtedly the city’s most famous attraction. Containing intricate and distinctive Thai architecture from the 1700s, the palace is a disorienting maze of lovingly restored murals and tile work. Visitors are able to sight see at their leisure for a modest entrance fee of 400 baht ($14USD) and the palace is easily accessible by water taxi, car or tuk tuk.
I’ve been lucky enough to visit the Grand Palace several times and have gathered a collection of my favorite pictures. Enjoy!

Sonabhadra: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday met with the families of the 10 tribal farmers who were killed in a shootout in Ubbah village in Sonbhadra district this week, and promised that his government would "help (them) in every way".
The Chief Minister, whose visit came amidst several political criticisms over his silence and non-reaction on the deaths, also said he would take "strict action against those who tried to steal land".
Ten people were killed and over 24 injured on Wednesday when a village chief, Yagya Dutt, and his associates, fired on a group of farmers who refused to give up 36 acres of land they had tilled for generations.
Witnesses said Yagya Dutt then brought nearly 200 men on 32 tractor trolleys to seize the land. They fired at the tribals for more than 30 minutes in one of the most chilling incidents the country has seen in recent times.
"Strict action will be taken against those who tried to steal land. The government will help (you) in every way," the Chief Minister said, reported by NDTV. He also announced the establishment of a police outpost in the area to prevent further attacks.
Yogi Adityanath also advised the families of the people who were killed to send their children to Anganwadis (rural child care centres).
Many of the victims of the shootout demanded money and land as compensation, along with death penalty to the guilty, news agency ANI reported.
"We will demand Rs. 10 lakh and 10 bigha land for the kin of those who died in the firing and Rs. 7 lakh and six bigha land for the injured," Chhote Lal, who was injured in the shootout, said.
"We will demand capital punishment for the village headman," Indra Kumar, who was injured in the firing, added.
The incident led to widespread attacks on the BJP government in the state with the opposition accusing it of trying to protect the accused. The Congress, Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party, the Left and the Trinamool Congress hit out at the government on Saturday.
With the end of the Priyanka episode on Saturday where she was detained while visiting the families of Sonabhadra, a new confrontation was triggered when a Trinamool Congress delegation was stopped at Varanasi airport.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra did finally meet the villagers - at a guest house in Mirzapur district on Saturday - saying that "I'll be back".
Till now, 24 people have been arrested for the mass murder. A total of 78 people have been charged, including Yagya Dutt and his brother.

MUAR: More villagers in the flood-hit areas in Sungai Balang have been evacuated to the SM Pekan Baru relief centre after floodwaters continued to rise late Monday.
District officer Abdul Rahman Jaafar said the centre, which housed 216 people from 49 families on Monday, now had 324 victims from a total of 70 families.
He said although the weather improved late Monday, the high tides caused floods in more homes as the water could not flow into the Malacca Strait.
“It is difficult to predict the weather now as it can change suddenly from being sunny in the day to a thunderstorm at night.
“This has been the pattern for the past several days, hot and sunny during the day but heavy rain at night,” he said Tuesday.
At the same time, spring tides in the sea for the past week and the high tidal level stopped the water from flowing into the sea.
A visit to the villages on Tuesday showed many houses in Kampung Sarang Buaya Laut were still under 0.2m of floodwater but the water began to recede in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, Muar MP Razali Ibrahim rushed some RM4,200 worth of emergency aid, including rice, sardines, milk, flour and sugar, for distribution to victims.

Hello. I’m Nick Neef and I’m a MCB major. This is my second semester at the U of I and I am recognized as a senior. I transferred from Parkland College here in Champaign. The evolution of diseases has a lot to do with my future career since I am planning on applying to medical school and hoping to become a doctor.
Many parts of the last post (Necessity for…) intrigued me with its overall support of evolutionary medicine. Many of the other blog posts I read from others sites were discrediting all the arguments that this post was defending.
Many posts spoke of how people are becoming obese due to an appetite for foods loaded with high calorie fats and starches. This post simply supported this argument with another situation that occurs over the competition of the host and the pathogen trying to stay alive. In consideration of cystic fibrosis, “…individuals with only one of the alleles that codes for cystic fibrosis are better resistant to cholera, typhus, E. Coli and tuberculosis.” Even though many theories don’t make since with the argument towards evolutionary medicine, there are reasons why the host and pathogens interact the way they do.
Since I have taken a molecular genetics course, the variability of antibodies, is a subject that I have a great understanding of. Within the post the author makes a statement:
“Infants receive immunoglobulins A and G from the mother through breast milk. As the infant encounters new antigens new specialized lymphocytes lineages are created. This activation of lymphocytes is known as clonal selection.”
I disagree with this statement’s reasoning behind the creation of different lineages of lymphocytes (producer of antibodies). A quick breakdown of antibody production is that the structure consists of 2 variable regions, the light chain and the heavy chain region. Both have different regions within them consisting of V, C, and J, as well as D only found in the heavy chain region. Each region other than C has many different subunits which will give the possibilities of antigen recognition to be over 2 million. With post transcriptional modifications there can be even more. The lymphocytes are the B and T cells of the immune system. B cells produce antibodies only regulated by the number of paired antibodies that it comes in contact with. This means that the more of one species of antibodies are infected, the more copies will be produced to counteract the pathogen infection.
This has meaning to my argument because antibodies are made at random all the time. The introduction of immunoglobulins would not create new lineages of lymphocytes, it would just increase the number of pre-existing lymphocytes in order to counteract the pathogen infestation.

SALEM - The Salem tennis teams started 2012 in a new league, but so far it's been business usual for the Quakers. Salem, who left the All-American Conference for the NBC, has played two conference games and has racked up two wins.
"Our top priority this season was to win the NBC and so far we're off to a good start with two wins," said sixth-year Salem coach Jeff Mooney. "I like the new league. At first it was a little nerve racking because I didn't know too much about the teams. I knew about West Branch because we've always played and I knew about Marlington because of the (Alex) Schaeffer kid, but other than that, I didn't know too much. From what I've seen, it's a very competitive league."
The Quakers, who won the All-American Conference White Tier title last season, began NBC play with a 3-2 win over Marlington. They next defeated Canton South also by a 3-2 score. Salem's senior standout Mitchell Marosher, who made history last season as the Quakers' first state quailifer, made a statement in that first NBC win by beating Schaeffer (6-2, 6-3) in No. 1 singles. Schaeffer is a three-time NBC Player of the Year. Marosher is a second-year player for Mooney.
He began his high school career at United before moving to Salem last season.
"Mitchell was a state qualifier last year, the first-ever for Salem," Mooney said. "We expect as much from him this season. We feel we should be able to win every first singles with Mitchell. We expect him to get out of the district and back to the state tournament and place."
At No. 2 singles, the Quakers return a three-year letterman in junior Jay Linam, who has been playing for Mooney since he was a freshman. Linam missed qualifying for state in doubles competition by one match last season and has become a solid and consistent winner for the team.
Senior Andrew Pietrazk has earned Salem's No. 3 spot and is another three-year player.
"We definitely are relying on Jay this year," Mooney said. "He's been playing for us for a while and we expect him to step up this season. We're also counting on Andrew, who worked hard to improve a lot over the summer."
The No. 1 doubles team consists of sophomore Mark Fredrickson (a second-year player) and freshman Marty Roth. No. 2 doubles are made up of juniors Saskia Wolfe and Billy Erksin.
Kenna Bullard is also back for her senior year and brings more experience to the court for Salem. Bullard is a senior and a four-year player. First-year players Josh Harbin (senior) and Jansen Paumier (junior) complete the 2012 Salem tennis roster.
Last season the Quakers finished the season at 14-5. It was the best finish in school history and the kind of success that can benefit the tennis program season for years to come.
"Our numbers are up by one or two this season at the varsity level," Mooney said. "But where I really see change is at the sixth- and seventh-grade level. I teach private lessons and that's where a see a lot more interest."
Mooney isn't hoping his 2012 Quakers can recreate the success of 2011. He's expecting it.
"At this point we're doing what I thought we do," he said. "We're 3-3, but we were without Mitchell in the first three matches. I think if we would have had him, we would easily be 5-1 right now. Like I said, our big thing was to win the league and we're 2-0 right now. We play West Branch tomorrow and we still have to play Alliance and Louisville, but I think we have a good chance of running the table in our league. We might not be as deep as we were last season having lost Derek (Shasteen) and Taylor (Fredrickson) but with our top five, we're capable of doing a lot and making some noise."

Child Support and Child Development
Lenna Nepomnyaschy, Rutgers University
Katherine Magnuson, University of Wisconsin at Madison
Lawrence M. Berger, University of Wisconsin at Madison
We use the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study to explore the association between nonresident fathers’ economic support of their children and child development. Prior research suggests that income from child support may confer greater benefits for children than income from other sources; however, these studies were based mostly on children in previously married families and focused on formal child support receipt. Research on low-income parents (particularly unmarried parents) suggests that while few fathers pay formal child support, the overwhelming majority contribute informally or in-kind to their children. In this paper, we examine associations of multiple types of nonresident father contributions—formal support, informal cash support, and in-kind support—with children’s behavior problems and cognitive skills at five years of age among a sample of unmarried parents in large US cities. We include a rich set of controls, lagged dependent variables, and instrumental variables to address potential endogeneity.

As in the world, avocado is increasingly conquering the Argentine consumer. This trend is also seen in restaurants and homestays in Santa Fe.
Although it is a fruit known long ago, since it is a common tree in the north of the country, until about 30 years ago commercial avocado cultivation was virtually unknown in Argentina. Rather it was obtained in fifths or gardens. Its commercialization was sporadic, with a product of regular quality and variable price.
From the mid-eighties some companies faced the production of avocado commercially and introduced it with advertising in the Argentine market.
Thanks to these actions silver became a trend in supermarket gondolas at an acceptable price and quality. To cover the whole year, and since domestic production is concentrated in the autumn and winter months, avocado was imported from other Latin American countries.
In Argentina, different varieties of avocado are grown throughout the season from April to December. It starts with the Lula variety from April to June, continuing with the Hass from May to September. This is the most appreciated variety both nationally and in international markets. Coinciding with the Hass harvest appears the offer of other varieties of low commercial value such as Tonnage, Pinkerton and others. Between spring and end of the year, Torres variety is harvested, of national origin, not suitable for export due to its large size.
Today, with so much international food going around our bars and social networks, avocado is almost no longer just a trend . It is about to become a fruit as usual as tomato.
The most frequent is to find it in guacamole or some similar salsa to accompany Mexican dishes. But in Santa Fe, the idea came to combine it with our only fish.
On this site you should have already seen recipes based on fish from our rivers . It is that these are the characteristic meat of the Argentine coast. The variety of fish found in our waters allows multiple culinary options.
So stop this recipe, which seeks to take advantage of the trend of eating avocado , you can use any of our fish. This avocado preparation goes with a yellow, with a pacu, a surubí and even with a vogue. We leave you the directions to show off with a super original and santafesino dish.
• 2 kg of fish
• 1 ½ kg avocado
• 1.2 kg of carrot
• 250 g of bell pepper
• 250 g tomato
• 180 g of onion
Place the fish fillet (250 g each approximately) in a baking plate well heat for 15 minutes, and then turn the fillet over.
While cooking the fillet in the oven, chop a medium onion, a green or red bell pepper, a diced tomato and saute them in its own juice over low heat until golden brown. Chop the carrots into cubes and boil them.
Once boiled add them to the onion, bell and tomato and season everything with salt and a pinch of black pepper.
On the other hand, already having cooked the fish and garnish, prepare a puree of avocados (one per person), seasoning it with salt, pepper, garlic and parsley well chopped .
Place the puree in a saucepan where it can spread the fish.

Sanjuro, a wandering samurai enters a rural town in nineteenth century Japan. After learning from the innkeeper that the town is divided between two gangsters, he plays one side off against the other. His efforts are complicated by the arrival of the wily Unosuke, the son of one of the gangsters, who owns a revolver. Unosuke has Sanjuro beaten after he reunites an abducted woman with her husband and son, then massacres his father's opponents. During the slaughter, the samurai escapes with the help of the innkeeper; but while recuperating at a nearby temple, he learns of innkeeper's abduction by Unosuke, and returns to the town to confront him. Written by
Bernard Keane <BKeane2@email.dot.gov.au>
Akira Kurosawa challenged his assistant directors to come up with an image for the film to let Sanjuro know he was entering a bad town. He shot down all of their ideas, since all of them had already been done. Kurosawa himself then came up with the idea of the dog carrying the human hand. See more »

Akira Kurosawa is widely (and rightly) thought of as one of the most important filmmakers in the history of motion pictures. "Yojimbo", one of the masterpieces that have earned him this more than deserved reputation, is not only one of the best, but also one of the most influential movies ever made. Only three years after its release another great director, Sergio Leone, who named Yojimbo one of his favorite movies, used it as the model for another masterpiece, "A Fistful Of Dollars" and rose the Italian Western to an international level.
In 1860, a time when the sword is still the most common weapon in the Japanese province, but gradually gets replaced by the revolver, a lonely Ronin, a Samurai without a master to serve,(Toshiro Mifune) who dashes around the county, comes to a little town terrorized by two bosses and their criminal gangs and decides to end the people's suffering and free the town. He is hired by one of the gangs as a bodyguard, only to switch sides and pit the two, already hostile, gangs against each other.
Toshiro Mifune, one of the greatest character actors of all time, is impressive in his role of the Samurai, generally the acting is great in this movie, the supporting cast contains such actors as the great and unforgettable Takashi Shimura. The cinematography is great and the movie's brilliant score, composed by Fumio Hayasaka, is one of its kind. The writing and directing by the inimitable Akira Kurosawa is more than brilliant. One of the greatest movies by one of the greatest directors of all-time, and an absolute must-see for everyone interested in cinema!

The next generation Audi R8 has been virtually envisioned once again ahead of expected debut this year
The next generation Audi R8 has been virtually envisioned once again ahead of expected debut this year.
This time the renderings are based on the Nanuk concept that was revealed during the 2013 IAA. The virtual model shares most of its design cues with the crossover concept, but features a lower profile and smaller wheels. We also noticed designer Theophilus Chin has changed the headlights, while the Audi badge has been placed on the engine hood.
From what we know about the second generation Audi R8 so far, it will be offered with two engines, both connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a quattro all-wheel drive system. The entry-level model will be powered by a 4.2-liter V8 engine with 430 HP (316 kW) and 430 Nm (317 lb-ft) of torque, while the more powerful will be equipped with a 5.2-liter V10 unit, producing more than 525 HP (386 kW) and 530 Nm (391 lb-ft) of torque.

Warnings about a bubble in Israeli property prices don't seem to have moved buyers: Prices have continued to rise.
Rents in most major cities in the center of the country have climbed 3%-6% since the start of 2010.
The figures from the May real estate price index of TheMarker and the Yad2 website show that even the Bank of Israel's recent statements that it will make mortgages for an amount that exceeds 60% of the value of the property much more expensive have not lowered buyers' interest. The Tax Authority has also announced that it plans to raise the purchase tax on investment properties.
The three cities with the greatest increase in apartment prices in 2010 are all considered to be less than desirable, although the first two are definitely in the center of country: Ramle, Lod and Tiberias, where housing prices have risen by 11% to 14% so far this year. Prices in Haifa have leveled out, as have those in Israel's most expensive city, Givatayim.
Of the 31 cities in the housing index, there was a decline - in most cases a minor one - in average home prices in only about one third.
The average increase in home prices for May was around 2%, but in several places the increases were much larger.
In Ramle the average price increase was 4.6%. The price of 5-room apartments rose by up to 7.2%, while 3-room apartments were 3.8% more expensive than in April. Next door, in Lod, prices rose by 4% on average, with greater increases in the prices of larger apartments.
Home prices in the northern city of Tiberias rose from an average of NIS 3,976 per square meter at the start of the year to NIS 4,430 per square meter in May.
But in Jerusalem prices fell by an average of 1.4%, with bigger apartments dropping more. Tel Aviv prices were down by 0.2%. The average increase for Israel's 10 largest cities was only 0.7% in May, similar to April, pointing to price stabilization, at least temporarily.
Haifa prices fell even further, by 2% on average and by nearly 7% for 3-room apartments. That city, however, still holds the prize for the biggest gains in housing prices over the past two years: 40%.
Prices in Be'er Sheva, known as a haven for investors, were almost unchanged.
The community with the greatest rise in home prices, after Ramle, Lod and Tiberias, was the Haifa suburb of Kiryat Bialik, with an average increase of 10.5% in the year to date. Prices in Herzliya climbed 9%, while Kiryat Motzkin, Rehovot, Holon and Ramat Gan all recorded increases of 7.6%. Ramat Gan topped the list in April.
Rents drop in May
Rents in May fell in half the cities surveyed, including Tel Aviv and Rishon Letzion, but not by much in most cases. The average rent for a 3-room apartment in Tel Avi last month was NIS 4,437 per month. That's 2% less than in April but nevertheless slightly more than in January.
In Be'er Sheva, which is considered prime for buying rental properties as an investment, too, rents rose 6% since January, to NIS 2,101 a month.
The high cost of buying an apartment in Tel Aviv is driving young people out of the city, the survey shows. The most sought after 4-room apartments are those in Rishon Letzion, where comparable apartments sell for NIS 400,000 less than in Tel Aviv. Haifa is still in high demand for young people.
But all that goes only for buying apartments. Renters are moving in the opposite direction: They want to live in Tel Aviv: Rentals there and in the adjacent communities of Ramat Gan and Givatayim drew the greatest interest of those using the Yad2 website.
Finally, where should you buy an apartment to rent out as an investment? Acre stillleads the table in returns on investment, with an annual return of 6.6%. As one might guess, the investment leaders are usually places with low purchase prices but relatively high rents. Kiryat Motzkin, Kiryat Ata and Nahariya had returns ranging from 5.8% to 5.9%.
Also in the top 10 in returns were (in order ) Ashkelon, Ramle, Lod, Hadera and Be'er Sheva.

Their treatment plan will include a great deal of information about ED. It is important you take the time to read it all. You will be better prepared to manage your condition as a partner—and not just a patient. Also, erectile dysfunction is often a symptom of a more serious underlying condition—like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or even depression. That’s why we want you to learn as much as you can. Nothing would be a sign of our success more so then if you could resolve the condition that causes your ED instead of needing to use the medications your doctor prescribes. We strongly recommend optional laboratory tests. You do not need to get them to receive treatment but it can be one of the best things you can do for your health in the long run.
These are not currently approved by the FDA for ED management, but they may be offered through research studies (clinical trials). Patients who are interested should discuss the risks and benefits (informed consent) of each, as well as costs before starting any clinical trials. Most therapies not approved by the FDA are not covered by government or private insurance benefits.
Can erectile dysfunction be reversed? Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a very common issue, and it can usually be reversed with lifestyle changes, counseling, medications, or surgery. While short-term treatments are available, addressing the underlying cause will usually resolve the condition. Learn about causes and effective methods of reversing ED here. Read now
Ginseng, specifically “red ginseng,” is known as the “herbal Viagra” that helps puts to rest men’s bedroom woes. Red ginseng is when the root has been steamed and then dried. The ginseng root is the part of the plant that is mostly used as a natural remedy when in its supplement form. However, the plant must be grown for a minimum of five years before it can be used. In a 2008 review, seven studies on red ginseng and ED, ranging in dosages from 600 to 1,000 milligrams three times a day, were found to provide evidence for the effectiveness of the herb in ED treatment.
The mechanisms by which testosterone plays a role in erectile function are not completely understood. A study evaluating the effect of testosterone on erections in surgically castrated rabbits and control animals, in which the rabbits’ intracavernosal pressures were compared after cavernosal nerve stimulation, determined that castrated rabbits had much lower pressures after stimulation than control rabbits did.  Notably, the pressures increased when castrated rabbits received exogenous testosterone replacement.
Induction of erection occurs after stimulation of the cavernous and pelvic nerve plexus. Conversely, stimulation of the sympathetic trunk leads to detumescence. The reflex erectile response requires that the sacral reflex arc remain intact. Tactile and sensory signals are received by the somatic sensory pathways and integrate with parasympathetic nuclei within the sacral spinal cord (S2-4) leading to induction of erection via cholinergic signaling. These reflexogenic erections remain intact with upper motor neuron injuries. Psychogenic erections do not require that the sacral reflex arc remain intact. In a cat models, spinal cord removal below L4/L5 led to absence of a reflexogenic erection but stimulation of the medial preoptic area (MPOA) or placement near a female cat in heat led to erection (5,6). Psychogenic erections occur via induction of central pathways traveling from the brain through the sympathetic chain. Non-penile sensory pathways induced by sight, sound, touch and smell travel through the MPOA to the erection centers within the cord T11-L2, and S2-S4 to induce erections (7). When a sacral lower motor neuron injury is present in men, below T12 these types of erections are more likely to occur (8). Spinal cord lesions above T9 are not associated with psychogenic erections (9). Rigidity of erections is less with psychogenic erections because the thoracolumbar sympathetic outflow may contain a decreased concentration of neurons compared to the parasympathetic outflow from the sacral spinal cord.
The symptoms of erectile dysfunction include difficulty achieving an erection, trouble maintaining an erection, and a reduced interest in sex. Because male sexual arousal is a fairly complex process, it can sometimes be difficult to identify a specific cause. Arousal starts in the brain but it also involves the nerves, muscles, and blood vessels and can be impacted by hormones and emotions. If a problem develops with any of these things, erectile dysfunction could be the consequence.
Soler et al. compared sildenafil to vardenafil and tadalafil (69). Sildenafil was effective in 85% of SCI patients, 74% of the patients on vardenafil and 72% of the patients on tadalafil. Sildenafil was associated with more rigid and longer lasting erections. Additionally, 50 mg of sildenafil was effective in 55% of patients compared to more than 70% of the patients on vardenafil and tadalafil requiring 20 mg for a similar response. Men who used tadalafil were able to achieve erections 24 hours after administration, improving overall satisfaction related to the possible spontaneity of sexual encounters. Del Popolo also evaluated the time/duration effectiveness of PDE5i sildenafil 50 mg versus tadalafil 10 mg (64). Tadalafil 10 mg significantly increased the percentage of successful intercourse attempts at 12–24 hours compared with sildenafil. One can suspect that vardenafil, which has a longer half-life than sildenafil, could offer a similar benefit but a study investigating this occurrence has yet to be performed.
On the horizon is gene therapy that would deliver genes that produce products or proteins that may not be functioning properly in the penile tissue of men with ED. Replacement of these proteins may result in improvement in erectile function. Experimental animal models have demonstrated improvement in erectile function with gene therapy. Human studies may also demonstrate success with this therapy. Gene therapy may take a long time for regulatory approval and public acceptance.
Using the correct size of tension ring is critical in obtaining the best possible result from this type of treatment. If the ring is too tight, it can be uncomfortable. If too large a ring is used, the erection may not last. The tension ring should not be left in place longer than 30 minutes. Leaving the ring in place for longer than 30 minutes can cause damage to the penis and further aggravate the cause of the erectile dysfunction.

Choosing the treatment that is best for you comes down to preference and efficacy. Montague cites a study that surveyed three groups of men, all of whom were successfully using an ED treatment. One group was on oral medications, one was using injections and a third had surgically implanted pumps. The most satisfied users were those with the implanted prostheses.
In addition, when research has shown a nutrient such as zinc or niacin to improve sexual function, it's usually in people who are deficient in it. So, before you stock up on over-the-counter nutritional supplements for ED, speak with your doctor. He can test you for deficiencies and steer you toward the most effective and safest way to treat your erectile dysfunction.
early 15c., "physical weakness," also "poverty," from Middle French impotence "weakness," from Latin impotentia "lack of control or power," from impotentem (nominative impotens); see impotent. In reference to a want of (male) sexual potency, from c.1500. The figurative senses of the word in Latin were "violence, fury, unbridled passion." Related: Impotency.
Get past your dislike of the doctor's office. Millions of men who experience erectile dysfunction (ED) each year are too embarrassed to talk about it with their doctor. ED is a very common disorder, but it is not considered to be a "normal" part of aging. ED is often a signal that there is an underlying problem that needs to be treated. Before attempting to overcome ED on your own, it's very important to make an appointment with your doctor and clear up any other issues that might be affecting your ability to sustain an erection.
Communicate with your partner. Do you feel comfortable and accepted when it comes to your sexual performance? If you're worried about meeting your partner's too-high expectations or living up to some kind of standard, it will be harder to maintain an erection - it's called performance anxiety. If you think your partner's judgment might be hindering your ability to have satisfying sex, you need to communicate your needs and find ways to make your sexual environment more inviting.
Experiencing ED can also be a reason to try not penetrative sex. Try planning a sex session with your partner hat isn't focused on your erection at all. Things like kissing, licking, sucking, foreplay and teasing all are super stimulating and don't focus on penetration. Feel free to bring each other to orgasm using these ideas and see if you are able to relax and enjoy the experience. Many men feel like failures when their erections become unreliable. Having a few successful sexual sessions that lead to orgasm without penetration can put the fun back into having sex. Many couples find success using this technique and begin to reengage sexually instead of avoiding being sexual for fear of failure.
Given the high risk of priapism during escalation of therapy for intracorporeal injection, it is recommended that the drugs be administered in a supervised office visit initially and that the patient be given a well-articulated plan for treatment of priapism if it occurs. Escalation guidelines for alprostadil alone vary, but a general guideline is to start at 2.5 mcg and increase by 2.5 mcg to a dose of 5 mcg and then in increments of 5 mcg to 10 mcg until an erection sufficient for penetration, not lasting more than 1 hour, is achieved. If there is no response to the initial 2.5-mcg dose, escalation dosing can be slightly more liberal.34 A European prospective trial of PGE1 alone found 91% of the 54 patients completing the 4 years of the study reported good or better tolerability and satisfaction with therapy.35
medicines called alpha-blockers such as Hytrin (terazosin HCl), Flomax (tamsulosin HCl), Cardura (doxazosin mesylate), Minipress (prazosin HCl), Uroxatral (alfuzosin HCl), Jalyn (dutasteride and tamsulosin HCl), or Rapaflo (silodosin). Alpha-blockers are sometimes prescribed for prostate problems or high blood pressure. In some patients, the use of Sildenafil with alpha-blockers can lead to a drop in blood pressure or to fainting
ED exists in approximately 75% of men with SB and is dependent upon the level of the neurologic lesion (54). The level of the neurologic lesions usually corresponds to sensation and penile sensation indicates pudendal nerve signaling. With absent sacral reflexes ED is variable. Furthermore, Diamond et al. reported that 64% of men with lesions below T10 obtained erections versus 14% with a lesion above T10 (55). It has also been suggested that ED may be underreported due to lack of sexual education even in men without associated cognitive impairment (56).
A physical exam checks your total health. Examination focusing on your genitals (penis and testicles) is often done to check for ED. Based on your age and risk factors, the exam may also focus on your heart and blood system: heart, peripheral pulses and blood pressure. Based on your age and family history your doctor may do a rectal exam to check the prostate. These tests are not painful. Most patients do not need a lot of testing before starting treatment.

The Pawtucket Public Library consists of 2 historical buildings, the Gerald S. Burns Building and the Deborah Cook Sayles Public Library, which are both listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Frederic Clark Sayles, Pawtucket?s first Mayor in 1999, offered to allot a plot of land for a free public library. In Europe, he looked for architectural inspiration from the continent?s most magnificent libraries. On November 18, 1899, the corner stone for the Pawtucket Public Library was laid. The Library was opened to the public on October 15, 1902. It was dedicated to the Mayor?s late wife, Deborah Cook Sayles.
A fine example of Greek Revival Architecture, the Library defines itself both in its structural style and service. It is one of the first few libraries that allowed users to access the library book stacks.

Cao Fei in person
In her videos and multiplatform installations, Chinese artist Cao Fei mixes fantasy, documentary, and virtual reality to reflect on the ways China's rapidly changing economy has transformed the everyday lives and imaginations of its citizens. Her latest film, Haze and Fog (2013) is a darkly humorous reinterpretation of the zombie film set in Beijing. Here the undead are real estate agents, nouveau riche businessmen, security guards, and manicurists seeking contact in an increasingly individualized, materialistic, and alienating society. Cao accompanies the film with her haunting 2007 short i.Mirror, recorded entirely in the virtual world of Second Life, and a discussion of her practice to date.

A great way to learn history
Alvin Ureles draws on the writings of biographers Richard Frothingham and John Carey in his historical novel about the life of Joseph Warren III. Ureles has used a unique approach in authoring “Following Joe.” He attributes the authorship of the fictional account to John Warren Joseph’s youngest brother. The story is told using John’s voice. Ureles tells the amazing account as John relates background information, stimulating dialog, and a detailed description of the political unrest during the period leading up to the Revolutionary War. Ureles brings the historical background of this period in American history to life as he carefully develops his characters with an exciting historical plot familiar to all history buffs. Ureles, a physician himself, expertly describes details and procedures related to caring for the injured on the battlefield, and the early recruiting and training of these men by Joseph Warren III. John Warren went on after the war to be one of the founders of the Harvard University Medical School. He had a practice in surgery and taught surgery at Harvard. I understand that this is the first book in a planned trilogy exploring the origins of the United States Army Medical Corp. If you are interested in the history of medicine or revolutionary America you will enjoy this book. Wayne Hughes did a good job narrating the book.
