Saturday – December 15, 2012 –
It’s sad that today is our last full day in Antarctica, but we are looking forward to going out with a bang with some world-class paddling.
After breakfast, we woke up outside Half Moon Island. I decided to go kayaking, but my brother was a little tired and decided not to paddle this morning. Due to stronflg currents in the bay, we launched our kayaks from the island. The weather this morning was outstanding – our bluest skies of the trip. We enjoyed the warmer weather and our kayak guides Jimmy and Ian were keen to kayak around the entire island.
We made good progress and time as kayaked at a good cadence around the island. But after we rounded a corner and turned north, the wind really started to pick up. An older but adventurous Aussie couple simply couldn’t keep up with the pace. Therefore we decided to return back to our entry beach.
Half Moon Island is a beautiful but small island near the larger Livingston Island. We paddled past Argentina’s Cámara Base, a tiny naval station operated occasionally during the summer. We also saw a colony of south polar skuas and Antarctic terns. I saw my brother and some of the other visitors on shore hiking a trail to visit wildlife and see the surrounding mountains on nearby Livingston and Greenwich Islands. They almost look like ants in the distance.
Upon our return to the beach at Half Moon Island, we saw the chinstrap penguin colony and some fur seals.
After we left Half Moon Island, we ate lunch as we sailed to Robert Point on Robert Island. Robert Point is a rocky point at the end of a small peninsula projecting about 1.5 miles into the Bransfield Strait from the southeast coast of Robert Island. My brother and I kayaked for the last time of the trip.
We launched from the beach at Robert Point and the weather was beautiful as the sun came out. We paddled by several elephant seals that were patrolling and dining on a beach. Then we passed a penguin highway, a crossing of penguins from a snow-covered hill where they marched to the water below where they fed.
At our turnaround spot, we saw massive ice sheets in the distance basked in the bright light of the sun. Coming back to the beach we survived our biggest waves of the trip. They were two- to four-foot waves pushing us as we passed through rocky inlets. My brother even surfed a rogue wave that came at him from behind. Everyone couldn’t believe how technical my brother was as he exited a five-foot wave without even capsizing.
To celebrate the end of our kayaking, just about everyone jumped out of the zodiak in their dry suits for a swim to celebrate the end of our paddling adventures. We were sad to say goodbye to Antarctica.
After dinner on the Akademik Sergei Vavilov this evening, we enjoyed some of our last views of the South Shetland Islands in the distance from the deck and lounge. Katie – our Scottish historian – gave a fireside chat presentation on her experience living on South Georgia Island. South Georgia is a British overseas territory in the southern Atlantic Ocean. I enjoyed hearing Katie’s experiences because we both enjoy history. Katie actually tended Sir Ernest Shackleton’s grave in Grytviken while working at a museum there. It was one of her surprise “duties as assigned.”
For some time, I have been fascinated with the history of exploration in Antarctica. Many years ago, I had seen the BBC movie starring Kenneth Branagh as British explorer Ernest Shackleton. I have been fascinated by Antarctica ever since.
If you are not familiar with the British Explorer Shackleton, he was one of the great explorers of the 20th century. His ship, the Endurance, became trapped in pack ice in January 1915 and was slowly crushed by November of that year. He and the crew escaped by camping on the sea ice until it disintegrated, then launched their lifeboats in April 1916 our a five-day journey to reach Elephant Island. After repairing their best lifeboat, Shackleton left most of his men on the uninhabited island for what seemed like a death journey to reach help. He and five men set sail in their open lifeboat on a stormy ocean voyage of 720 nautical miles! They miraculously landed at King Haakon Bay on South Georgia’s south coast almost two weeks later. They were exhausted, but Shackleton then left with two of the men on a desperate 22-mile journey over a mountain range to reach Stromness whaling station in Grytviken. They made and then sailed back to rescue all the rest of his crew. It’s one of the great survival stories of polar exploration.
Besides Shackleton, the history of Antarctica is extremely fascinating. British Captain James Cook first crossed the Antarctic Circle and circumnavigated Antarctica. Britain’s John Davis and crew were probably the first to set foot on Antarctica in 1821. But it wasn’t until 1911 that Norway’s Roald Amundsen first reached the South Pole.
After our history talk, my brother and I then went back to our cabin completely fulfilled with our journey to Antarctica. Now it was time for the three-day crossing back to Argentina!

Semi-automated trucks will hit European roads in a worldwide exclusive
Brussels, 15 March 2016 – Early next month, the world’s first cross-border initiative with smart trucks will take place in Europe.
Six European truck manufacturers will bring platoons of semi-automated trucks to public roads, crossing borders from various European cities in order to reach their final destination of the Port of Rotterdam on 6 April. The overall objective of this European Truck Platooning Challenge is to accelerate the introduction of truck platoons by putting the subject high on the agenda of EU policy makers.
The Platooning Challenge – organised by the Netherlands as part of its ongoing EU Presidency – fosters European cooperation between truck manufacturers, member states, logistics service providers, road operators, road and vehicle approval authorities, research institutes and governments. Such cooperation on platooning is vital to prevent countries from creating a patchwork of rules and regulations, which could hinder investments in automated and connected vehicles. Looking ahead, it is important that relevant legislation is harmonised throughout Europe and that countries recognise each other’s procedures and requirements.
Truck platooning is the linking of two or three trucks in a convoy. These vehicles closely follow each other at a set, close distance by using connectivity technology and automated driving support systems. The truck at the head of the platoon acts as the leader, with the vehicles behind reacting and adapting to changes in its movement. For example, if the platoon leader brakes, all the other trucks in the platoon also brake.
Truck platooning can help make road transport safer, cleaner and more efficient in the future. Platooning results in a lower fuel consumption, as the trucks drive closer together at a constant speed, with less braking and accelerating. Truck platooning therefore has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 10%. Likewise, connected driving can help improve safety, as braking is automatic with virtually zero reaction time compared to human braking. Finally, platooning also optimises transport by using roads more effectively, helping deliver goods faster and reducing traffic jams.
Platooning will help the European truck industry to strengthen its technical leadership and global competitiveness. ACEA and its commercial vehicle members – DAF Trucks, Daimler Trucks, Iveco, MAN Truck & Bus, Scania and Volvo Group – are therefore actively supporting and participating in the European Truck Platooning Challenge. Truck platooning is also part of the industry’s integrated approach to further reducing CO2 emissions. This approach looks at all elements that affect emissions during the use of a truck. Besides the vehicle itself, trailer design, alternative fuels, logistics, infrastructure and intelligent transport systems (such as platooning) all play a decisive role in bringing down CO2 emissions.

Posted April, 28 2017Keith Noreika Named Acting Comptroller of the Currency
On May 3, 2017, the Treasury Department announced that attorney Keith Noreika will temporarily replace Thomas Curry to lead the OCC, effective May 5. Furthermore, the Trump administration is rumored to be considering Joseph Otting to fill the role on a permanent basis. Mr. Otting’s resume includes stints at U.S. Bancorp, CIT, and then as CEO of OneWest following the merger.
This shift at the OCC marks the administration’s first imprint on major bank regulatory agencies. Administrative relief through the regulatory agencies is likely to be the primary avenue for changes to the regulatory regime in the near term. Secretary Mnuchin’s June 2017 Dodd-Frank report will likely serve as the roadmap for these efforts.
White House Issues Executive Order Re: American Technology Council
On May 1, 2017, the White House issued an executive order creating the American Technology Council. The Council will be led by the President himself and also includes members from the highest levels of the federal government such as the vice president; the secretaries of Defense, Commerce and Homeland Security; the director of national intelligence; and senior presidential adviser Jared Kushner.
The Council's aim is to "coordinate the vision strategy, and direction for the federal government's use of information technology (IT) and the delivery of services through information technology," according to the order.
Comptroller Curry Speaks Re: Fintech – Says Banking Must Continue to Evolve
On April 28, 2017, Comptroller of the Currency Tom Curry gave a speech which called out the banking industry’s need to keep current with technology and innovation, and aimed to defend the OCC’s efforts to encourage such growth.
The agency’s limited purpose bank charter for fintech firms has faced opposition within the banking industry, with argument that the startups are not banks. Curry, (who will remain acting Comptroller until the Senate confirms a replacement), addressed this in his speech stating “At the heart of the issue is the fundamental nature of the business of banking – the business of banking is dynamic and I would urge caution to anyone who wants to define banking as a static state. Such a view risks choking off growth and innovation.”
Curry also praised the fintech sector for maturing, noting that their “conferences now include topics such as 'meeting community needs,' ‘financial inclusion,’ ‘collaboration’ and ‘compliance,’”.
CFS Hearing – “A Legislative Proposal to Create Hope and Opportunity for Investors, Consumers, and Entrepreneurs”
On April, 26, 2017, The Committee on Financial Services held a hearing entitled “A Legislative Proposal to Create Hope and Opportunity for Investors, Consumers, and Entrepreneurs.”
- Mr. John Allison: Former President and Chief Executive Officer, Cato Institute
- Dr. Norbert J. Michel: Senior Research Fellow, Financial Regulations and Monetary Policy Institute for Economic Freedom and Opportunity, The Heritage Foundation
- Ms. Hester Peirce: Director of Financial Markets Working Group and Senior Research Fellow, Mercatus Center
- Mr. Alex J. Pollock: Distinguished Senior Fellow, The R Street Institute
- Mr. Peter J. Wallison: Senior Fellow and Arthur F. Burn, Fellow in Financial Policy Studies, American Enterprise Institute
- The Honorable Michael S. Barr: Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School
- Dr. Lisa D. Cook: Associate Professor, Economics and International Relations, Michigan State University
- Chairman Hensarling maintains that the Dodd Frank Act reduced access to banking services for the underbanked, increased the number of unbanked by three million, reduced credit to consumers and businesses and largely eliminated free checking accounts.
- Democrats on the Committee contend that the provisions in the bill are not meant to benefit small financial institutions and instead are meant to benefit large financial institutions – many of whom are responsible for creating the financial crisis.
- There was vigorous debate about the impact of the Volker Rule and its impact on the strength of banks, the merits of the Feds SIFI designation authority and what if any impact Dodd Frank has had on small financial institutions.
- Much debate was dedicated to the impact of the CFPB on consumers – the agency would be made subject to the annual appropriations process and the Director an at-will position under Choice 2.0.
- There was very little discussion of the Durbin Amendment. It is still unclear if there will be an amendment in Committee to strike the Durbin repeal language and who might offer that amendment.
- One important note – a tie vote on a Committee Amendment means that it fails and the repeal language would stay in the bill.
- Ranking Member Waters has formally requested another hearing on the Choice 2.0 legislation. Under the rules, the Minority Day is a continuation of today’s hearing. The mark-up of the bill is scheduled for May 2, and there is no indication that the mark up date will change. Therefore, any date that is offered for a Minority hearing may not be appealing to RM Waters.
GAO Report – Financial Technology: Information on Subsectors and Regulatory Oversight
On April 19, 2017, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released the first in a planned series of reports on the growing and wide-ranging fintech industry. This comes in response to requests from several congressional offices as fintech continues to gain attention from consumer advocates as well as the traditional financial industry. The report called out the following four fintech subsectors and regulatory oversight for each as well as potential benefits and risks.
- Marketplace lenders
- Mobile payments
- Digital wealth management platforms
- Distributed ledger technology

The value of UK food and drink exports reached record levels in 2017, growing by 10% to reach £22bn.
Government figures show that UK food and drink businesses are now selling their products to 217 countries, with total exports now worth double what they were a decade ago.
Beer, gin, milk, cream, cheese, chocolate, salmon, pork and whisky are among the products driving the increase over the past 12 months.
During 2017, sales of milk and cream increased by 61%, salmon by 23% and pork by 14%.
The UK also sent £85m worth of cheese to France, £21m of chocolate to Belgium and even £2m of tea to China between January and December 2017.
Growing food exports has been a key plank of government’s agricultural policy over the past five years, with Prime Minister Theresa May recently visiting China to help forge new trading relationships post-Brexit.
Defra secretary Michael Gove said the figures demonstrated how farmers, fishermen and food processors were helping to deliver a “Brexit bonus”.
“Contrary to the constant negativity of the doom-mongers, the British economy is going from strength to strength showing that a Green Brexit can deliver for the whole country,” he said.
Defra said the increase in sales showed a clear desire for British food products, which were highly regarded because of their provenance and quality.
The growing hunger for UK produce revealed the “huge opportunities for producers and manufacturers as the UK prepares to leave the European Union”.
‘Much at stake’
But Fergus Ewing, Scottish rural affairs minister, said while the figures were something to celebrate, they also were a stark reminder of what was at stake if the UK lost free trade access to the EU market.
Europe is the top export market for salmon and Scotch whisky in terms of both value and volume.
“We will continue to do all we can to support and protect our food and drink sector, which faces growing uncertainty in the labour and export markets as a result of Brexit, which poses a direct threat to this success by removing Scotland from the world’s biggest single market, and its consumer base of almost half a billion people,” said Mr Ewing.
“In addition 10,000 EU nationals work in our food and drink industry, which exports more than £2bn to Europe through the single market each year.”
Major UK exports include:
• Whisky (£4.5bn)
• Salmon (£720m)
• Chocolate (£680m)
• Cheese (£623m)
• Beer (£603m)
• Shellfish (£600m)
Top 5 countries the UK exports to:
• Irish Republic (£3.7bn)
• France (£2.3bn)
• USA (£2.3bn)
• Netherlands (£1.5bn)
• Germany (£1.4bn)

PKD is a genetic kidney disease characterized by numerous cysts growing on bilateral kidneys. When the cysts are big enough, they will oppress the surrounding kidney tissues and damage kidneys. Creatinine 6.4 indicates that the cysts have already caused kidney damage. If measures are not taken, the cysts will continue to grow and more and more kidney tissues will be impaired. Kidney failure will attack sooner or later.
What should you do to prevent kidney failure?
Firstly, you should well manage your diet. Foods that can increase kidneys’ burden or increase the risk of complications are not allowed, such as high-protein food, high-sodium foods and stimulated foods. You’d better consult a dietitian for a proper diet.
Secondly, the most important point to prevent PKD progressing into kidney failure is to shrink the cysts and stop the growth of the cysts. How to achieve this goal? Natural remedies are your best choices, which are safe and effective. They have no side-effects. Better improvement can be seen with natural remedies. You may wonder that what natural remedies are. Here I will tell you that Chinese medicines are natural remedies. Hot Compress Therapy is one of them.
This therapy takes advantage of the traditional herbs and the modern technology. The super-finely shattered herbs will be put onto the Shenshu acupoints and be permeated into kidney lesions with the help of an osmosis device. The herbs have such special effects:
A. Stop the growth of cysts by preventing the cystic epithelial cells from secreting cystic fluids.
B. Shrink the cysts by increasing the permeability of the cystic walls to let the fluids flow out.
C. Repair the damaged kidney cells and improve kidney function. The high creatinine level can be lowered and other toxins can also be discharged.
Therefore, PKD will be brought under control and kidney failure will not come. If you want to know more about how to prevent PKD developing into kidney failure with creatinine 6.4, you can send an email to email@example.com. The kidney doctor will give you a reply as soon as possible!
Leave your problem to us,You will surely get the free medical advice from experts within 24 hours!

Anonymous sources claim XB1 has 'heat issues'
I'm not much for rumors at all, but considering the first Xbox also ran quite hot (50/60+ degrees)
And the first 360 models also ran extremely hot.
I won't be surprised if this is actually true.
The GPU/CPU combo in the XB1 along with the XB1 design allows for insufficient heat disposal.
So instead of another RRoD fiasco, MS decided to underclock the console by 200Mhz as a quickfix.
What does this mean to developers?
Well we already know that the PS4 is more of a powerhouse than the Xbox One. It has faster RAM and bus bandwidth than the Xbox One already. Under clocking the system will widen the gap between the two consoles, but at the same time will keep the failure rate on the Xbox One very low. The last thing we need is another RRoD fiasco.
In terms of games, you will see a significant difference in multiplatform titles. Lower clock speed means lower frame rates. This means that a game running 60fps on PS4 may only run at 30fps on Xbox One. Even given the current specs, this would probably still be the case except now we are under clocking the GPU. This could affect other things like the Peak Shader Throughput.
If Minecraft were to be released for both Xbox One and PS4, you'd see no difference. A game like Battlefield 4 my run at a lower framerate on the Xbox One than it does on the PS4. We still don't know how much the eSRAM is going to boost or hinder performance of the Xbox One.
We also can't leave out the fact that every developer, every game and every engine runs differently. They could theoretically boost frame rates on the Xbox One to match PS4 by turning off AA effects and lowering resolution.
Ofcourse this is a rumor and can only be confirmed by ripping apart the console and testing busspeeds etc after the launch.
If later XB1 models run faster then the first ones then it can be confirmed as true.

Mumbai: A day after the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) severed its 15-year-old ties with the Congress, there are reports of a possible tie up between the Grand Old Party and the Samajwadi Party for the fast approaching assembly elections in Maharashtra.
Top sources closed to the Congress party claimed on Friday that two parties are finalising their talks in this regard and a formal announcement is likely to be made later today.
As per sources, the Samajwadi Party is most likely to contest on eight seats.
In order to re-gain the lost ground, the state leadership of the Congress party has held several rounds of negotiations with the top SP leaders of Maharashtra. After the NCP dumped the Congress due to “incorrigible differences” over various issues, the Congress desperately needs an alliance partner, even if it does not have a strong base in the state.
Samajwadi Party (SP) Maharashtra unit chief Abu Azmi had recently held talks with the Congress leaders on forming an alliance for the upcoming polls.
Senior Congress leaders such as Mohan Prakash, state PCC chief Manikrao Thakre, state co-operation minister and senior leader Harshavardhan Patil and former minister Kripashankar Singh had met Azmi in the recent past, throwing indications that the two are most likely to join hands for the Assembly elections..
The SP, though it differs with Congress over a number of issues, wants an alliance with the Congress to keep the Shiv Sena-BJP at bay.
The development comes a day after the NCP terminated its 15-year-old alliance with the Congress after the latter unilaterally released its first list of 118 candidates late on Wednesday without consulting the former.
"We have terminated our alliance with Congress. Now we will secure support of like-minded parties and contest all the 288 seats," senior NCP leader Praful Patel said at a press conference attended by deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar and state NCP president Sunil Tatkare after a long meeting.
In a facile gesture, NCP also decided to pull out of the state government. Pawar met the governor on Thursday evening.
CM Chavan reacted sharply to the decision. "NCP alone is responsible for terminating the alliance, it was wrong to blame us. When Congress had moved a step forward, NCP was adamant and unilaterally decided to terminate the alliance," he said.
The anger of the NCP seemed focused on the CM. The NCP trio said Chavan was never serious about the alliance and not available for discussion on seat-sharing. "We had worked with Vilasrao Deshmukh, Ashok Chavan and Sushilkumar Shinde. In the event of a crisis or deliberations on seat-sharing, they were always available for discussion, but that was not the case with Prithviraj Chavan," said Pawar.
The CM had left for his hometown Karad, from where he has secured a ticket to fight in the October 15 assembly polls, on Wednesday morning, ignoring an NCP deadline to make a satisfactory counter offer to its demand for 144 seats and rotating CM's post.

Baytown prostitution sting nets 9 arrests
Nine men and women were arrested in Baytown Tuesday during a prostitution sting at a local hotel, police said.
Baytown police Lt. Steve Dorris said the undercover operation was conducted by the department's Special Operations unit.
He said four women and one man allegedly offered sex to undercover detectives in exchange for money. Police are not releasing the location of the hotel.

Jamie Peterson, 39, of Sugar Land, is charged with felony possession of a controlled substance in lieu of a prostitution charge.
Four other men accompanied four of the alleged prostitutes when they met with undercover detectives, Dorris said.
Rickey Guthrie, 31, of Houston; Geivance Garner, 27, of Houston; Christian Randall, 24, of Houston; and Craig Haggerty, 34, of Baytown were charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police are still investigating whether the four should face additional charges related to the prostitution sting, Dorris said.
Investigators are also looking into whether any of those charged with prostitution are victims of human trafficking.
Several of the suspects also had outstanding warrants from Baytown and other law enforcement agencies.
"The Baytown Police Department takes very seriously the quality of life of our citizens, and this type of activity simply will not be tolerated in our city," Dorris said.

Flo Rida has debunked recent reports claiming he removed a collaboration track with Chris Brown from his upcoming album due to allegations that Brown abused his pop star girlfriend Rihanna.
The Florida-bred emcee said he was misquoted in a past interview.
“I think someone must have got it twisted,” he said in an interview. “The thing was, we have deadlines to meet and between his business and my business…we had to turn an album, so I had to really get everything together…It’s not just that record, there were other records that couldn’t make the album that I wanted to make the album as well, but that was the process, this was way before me ever hearing anything about [the incident]. This was way before, at least a month. I had been done with this record.” (US Magazine)
He was previously quoted saying the track’s removal was based on Brown’s publicized dispute.
“I recorded a great song with Chris,” Flo Rida said in an interview. “But I won’t be releasing it now because of what’s going on with him and Rihanna. It could have been my next number one.” (Hollyscoop)
Despite the removal, Flo Rida has tagged additional singers for the project.
Flo Rida and Brown collaborated for the track called “Sweat,” which was supposed to be the second single off the record. The rapper collaborated with Wyclef Jean and Ne-Yo for his new album but the track he recorded with 19-year-old Brown will not be included on the album. R.O.O.T.S is expected to be released in late March. (All Headline News)
Upon Brown and Rihanna reportedly getting back together, R&B singers like Usher have shared their thoughts on seeing images of the male star vacationing in Florida.
“I’m a little disappointed in this photo,” Usher said. “Come on Chris, have a little bit of remorse man…The man’s on jet skis? Like, just relaxing in Miami?” (New York Daily News)

The sounds of the New York City streets are evident as Charlotte Gainsbourg answers her cellphone. At one point a police siren drowns out the conversation.
“I’m bicycling,” she explains. She’d planned to ride along the Hudson River Greenway on the city’s West Side, but it was too windy. So she’s tootling down Seventh Avenue as she talks about her stop-start career in music.
Gainsbourg, who kicks off a brief US tour Sunday at Royale, has lived with actor-director Yvan Attal and their two school-age children in New York for about five years. (The couple’s 21-year-old son lives in Paris.) Born in London to the late Serge Gainsbourg and the singer and actress Jane Birkin, Gainsbourg lived most of her life in Paris.
After the death in 2013 of her half-sister, the fashion photographer Kate Barry, “I thought I needed to change everything,” she says. “I won’t live in New York forever — I do feel very European. But I love that feeling of being a foreigner here.”
That feeling helped her compose her fifth album, “Rest,” which came out in late 2017, just in time to make several year-end-best lists. She spent much of last year touring across Europe in support of the release.
Working with the French electronic producer known as Sebastian, Gainsbourg looked to the moody disco-era soundtracks of ’70s suspense films such as “Midnight Express” to convey her despair over the loss of her sister and her lingering grief over her father. He died in 1991 at age 62.
The streets of New York, she says, helped her get “outside my comfort zone. It’s a city where nobody knew who I was. I started doing photography again, I started drawing again. It got me into all the things I like doing.”
Now 47, she’s lived all her life as the daughter of Birkin and Gainsbourg, two stars of the jet set 1960s. Together they recorded “Je t’aime . . . mois non plus,” an international smash that was widely banned for its infamous erotic sighing. Years later, Gainsbourg set off more sirens with the song “Lemon Incest,” recorded with a teenage Charlotte. Sung in French, the song can be heard innocently enough, translated into English as “a lemon zest” — or in the interpretation that’s obviously more problematic.
Charlotte Gainsbourg has no regrets. Her father, she says, was a provocateur.
“As an adult, I love it,” she says. “As a child, it made me more secretive, maybe. But it didn’t bother me. I knew who he was. The provocation, I just thought it was a game.”
In her own work, too, she’s no étranger to controversy. As an actress, she played Sean Penn’s wife in “21 Grams” (2003) and the title role in Lars von Trier’s “Nymphomaniac” (2013).
She has always been more comfortable as an actor than a singer, she says, though she never formally trained for either.
“There was more pretending with the singing,” she suggests. “Today, it’s completely different, just because I’ve accepted the fact that I’m not a singer.”
In the absence of her father, she says, “I felt completely lost. It took 20 years to go back to a studio and record with the help of Air.” The French duo, Pulp singer Jarvis Cocker, and others helped her make the album “5:55,” released in 2006. She recorded her next, “IRM” (2009), at Beck’s home studio in Los Angeles.
All of the musicians she has collaborated with share an affinity for her father’s long, stylistically omnivorous career in music. But none of them overstepped their boundaries, she says: “They were tactful enough not to ask.”
Besides, she continues, “I’m the greatest admirer of my father. Obviously all my inspiration comes from [him].”
For the new album’s title track, co-written by Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, she asked von Trier to direct a video. He couldn’t fit it into his schedule, “but I’ll tell you exactly what to do,” he told her. He described a surreal montage of images, some original, some found footage, each corresponding to the song’s recurring phrases. On the instrumental passages, the viewer sees Gainsbourg sitting idly in a recording studio.
“He said, ‘When you’re not singing, it should be extremely boring,’” she recalls. “It was a funny exercise.”
Paul McCartney wrote “Songbird in a Cage” for Gainsbourg after she asked him to lunch in London several years ago. He sent her a demo; she and her producer took the song in another direction. She was nervous to hear the Beatle’s reaction, but he loved it, she says, and he stopped by the studio to add instrumentation.
She realizes now she never asked him what the song means.
“You know, like when you meet someone, then you forget their name,” she says with a laugh. “And then it’s too late to ask.”

Rat tumor necrosis factor-alpha
Rat tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is primarily a homotrimeric 17 kDa protein, a potent mediator of inflammatory and metabolic functions. Originally known as a highly cytotoxic cytokine for tumor cells, it is produced by lipopolysaccharide stimulated macrophages. When injected into tumor bearing animal, it causes tumor necrosis in vivo and shows cytolytic activity against tumor cells in vitro. Further, TNF-α has been implied as central mediator in shock induced by gram negative microorganisms. TNF-α functions as a central mediator in many inflammatory and immunological processes. Interestingly, it also induced on its turn the production of many cytokines. Signal transduction occurs via two types of TNF-receptors, the p55 and p75 TNF-receptors. The receptors differ strongly in their intracellular signaling pathways.

Stars Dish On Halloween Costumes
Her every day ensembles have enough unique flair to be costumes on their own, so it's no surprise that Katy Perry is already on the lookout for the perfect Halloween look. She recently tweeted about a costume idea she's considering, "I just interviewed @Karl_Lagerfeld... he was so lovely. I think I'll be him for Halloween—collar, boots, gloves and all!" The quirky singing sensation isn't the only one piecing together her outfit for October 31st. Before deleting her twitter account Miley Cyrus messaged to Ashley Tisdale saying, "Who are you gonna be for Halloween? I'm Pocahontas." Tisdale promptly responded, Alice in Wonderland!"

If you're taking care of an orphaned feline, human formula isn't the best food for her. You should stick with a kitten milk replacement to ensure her long-term health, but in a pinch, human baby formula may tide you over until you can make it to the pet store.
Feeding Orphaned Kittens
The most appropriate food for a newborn kitten is her mother's milk, but if she's been abandoned, that might not be available as an option. If you have to act as a surrogate mommy to a tiny feline, you should choose a commercially available feline milk replacer. Only a properly formulated milk replacer can ensure your little friend gets the proper vitamins, minerals, fats and proteins she needs in the correct amounts. Human formulas are created to fill the needs of human infants, and the ratio of nutrients is different from a kitten's needs.
Human Formula for Emergency Use
In an emergency, you may be able to use powdered or concentrated human baby formula to sustain an orphaned kitten until you can get some regular feline milk replacer. However, you need to ignore the directions on the package. Instead, make up the formula at twice the strength indicated for human babies. Alternately, you can make a temporary formula using one can of evaporated milk, one egg yolk and two tablespoons of Karo syrup.
After about three to four weeks of age, your kitten can start eating solid foods. However, even after she has weaned, your kitten should still not consume human baby formula, even as a treat. Because human baby formula is made from cow's milk, it is high in lactose. While a newborn kitten can digest lactose, which is also found in a mother cat's milk, kittens lose that ability shortly after they are weaned. For this reason, a kitten or cat should also not be given cow's milk.
Human formula can be dangerous for medically fragile kittens. They can cause diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration. In a kitten who is already weak, dehydration can be potentially fatal. If you have to give your kitten human formula for any reason, choose one that is iron-free to avoid an overdose of iron. A goat's milk-based formula may be more easily digested than one made from cow's milk.
Always check with your veterinarian before changing your pet’s diet, medication, or physical activity routines. This information is not a substitute for a vet’s opinion.

Krysguld Dartis was a human male who worked as a lookout in his home village on the planet Savareen. His tongue was cut out by the Crimson Dawn syndicate when he and the other villages stood up to them; however, he was still able to maintain an effective silent communications network. In 10 BBY, he was present when the Cloud-Riders and a group of criminals formerly affiliated with Crimson Dawn joined together with the villagers to oppose the syndicate.
Krysguld Darti was a human male who lived in a village constructed in the ruins of the Bis Refinery on the Pnakotic Coast of his homeworld Savareen. Like the other inhabitants of the village, he had had his tongue cut out by the Crimson Dawn syndicate after the villagers stood up to the criminals and refused to pay tribute. He worked as a lookout for the village, keeping an eye on any approaching starships from a beach near the village and gauging whether or not they posed a threat to his community.
When Dartis believed danger was coming he would send a tap-code command to the villagers, warning them to hide in burrows and cove shallows until the threat had passed. In 10 BBY, he was present in the village when a group of Crimson Dawn affiliates led by the criminal Tobias Beckett landed in order to process coaxium they had stolen from the planet Kessel. He then witnessed the stand-off between the criminals and the Cloud-Riders gang and aided the two groups when they worked together to defeat the forces of the Crimson Dawn when they arrived on Savareen to collect the coaxium.
Personality and traitsEdit
Dartis used a tap-code comlink and a location transponder which he wore around his neck and carried a club with a head that could be electrified by turning a dial beneath it. Like the rest of his villages he wore striped robes of many colors.
Behind the scenesEdit
Krysguld Dartis first appeared in the 2018 film Solo: A Star Wars Story and was first named in the accompanying reference book Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo.

Judith Goldman & Leslie Scalapino, Editors
2007 • 168 pp. • $14.00
Borrowing Tolstoy’s title and basing our manifestation of War and Peace on the conception that everything goes on in war and peace, the editors, Judith Goldman and Leslie Scalapino, have gathered forty poets on the theme of “The Future.” The future arises with (at the same time as) history and the present.
“It is taking centuries to understand why our future will be perfect… There is still time. We can still be useful to each other.”
Rob Halpern is seeing/making a relation of “the inner life” (discovering what that is) to occurrence. Past, present, and future: “the migrating cranes—whose lines of flight misalign what will have been with what’ll be no more… you can draw a cartoon head around the other’s unknown life and still not recognize the place where you live because home bears no resemblance to the bodies feeding you, no relation to the ones who work in the dark (cold fields, the vaults and cells)…”
ABOUT THE EDITORS
Leslie Scalapino (1944 – 2010) is the author of thirty books of poetry, prose inter-genre-fiction, plays, and essays.

Scalapino’s It’s go in horizontal/Selected Poems, 1974-2006 was published by University of California Press at Berkeley in 2008. Other books of Scalapino’s poetry include Day Ocean State of Stars’ Night (Green Integer), a collection of eight years; Zither & Autobiography (Wesleyan University Press), The Tango (Granary Press), Orchid Jetsam(Tuumba), Dahlia’s Iris—Secret Autobiography and Fiction (FC2 Publishers); a reprint of the prose work Defoe (Green Integer); and It’s Go In Quiet Illumined Grass Land (The Post-Apollo Press).
Judith Goldman is the author of VOCODER (Roof Books, 2001), DEATHSTAR/ RICO-CHET (O Books, 2006), “the dispossessions” (atticus/finch, 2009), and L.B.; OR, CATENARIES (Krupskaya, 2011).

and many more
The lines of each of Michael McClure’s poems from “Swirling Asphalt” are the action of being the same present (as all times at once) the instant of (most fragile) love:
A FOREST OF HORSES
is where I am
and you have
me your love
In Susan Landers’ translucent Dante the past and the future are at the instant of our present occurrence:
Squirrelly Cerberus spots us. Teeth poised in his mouths.
My leader lobs fist-fulls of muck down his throat to appease him.
And so we pass, trampling the fallen beaten down by rain.
Though empty, their bodies feel full and give under out stomp weight.
One rises at the sight of us and calls me, “Young one,
who stood before I fell, tell me my name.”
But I cannot. All hells obscure the past.
Disgust refashions history to suit its own purposes.
“But I was your neighbor in your city of sun and trouble.”
And I sense in him the vision that chaos affords so I ask him
to tell me the future of my city of my state of conflict
and this is what he tells me: “The perceived wrath of perceived
gods overwhelms the few capable of blinding crowds.”

Emmett! How can you not like cake??!!
Wow, right? Yeah, I just don't know what to do with him.....although I should clarify. There are some cakes he likes. His main requirement seems to be the amount of moisture in the cake. None of that standard iced birthday cake for him.
And what's his favorite? That would have to be Honeybun Cake. This stuff rocks.....
|picture kifed from bettycrocker.com|
Yeah. You can tell that's not my picture.
Fruit? Next to the cake? What's the point of that?
I whipped some up Monday night. And we devoured pieces while playing a rousing game of Rat-A-Tat-Cat. That cake was all gone in (much!) less than 24 hours. I didn't even get a chance to snap a picture.
Bake for 45 minutes or until done. For the icing, combine the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. I usually have to add a little more milk. Spread over still-warm cake and then...

Column: Can Braves win a title with all those Ks?
ATLANTA (AP) - They might want to consider setting up a wind farm at Turner Field, because there sure is a stiff breeze coming out of that place most nights.
The first-place Atlanta Braves keep swinging away _ and missing, a lot of the time _ which raises an intriguing question as baseball heads into the dog days of summer:
Can a team that strikes out with such regularity actually win a championship?
In all likelihood, no.
The numbers just don’t stack up for the Braves, not if the umpires keep shouting “1-2-3, you’re out!” at such a staggering rate.
Going into Friday night’s game against NL East rival Washington, the Braves were on pace to whiff 1,476 times this season. That would be the second-highest total in baseball history, surpassed only by the 2010 Arizona Diamondbacks (1,529), though it must be noted that woeful Houston is having even more trouble making contact at the moment, so Atlanta could wind up settling for third on the infamous list.
Of course, the Astros have no chance of making the playoffs. The Braves, on the other hand, were cruising along with the biggest division lead of any team in baseball, making it easier and easier to believe you can spell championship with a K.
“Are we going to strike out 27 times in a game?” the biggest offender, Dan Uggla, said before going out to take some extra batting practice Friday. “Somebody’s going to make some contact somewhere. We can strike out 25 times and hit two homers and win 2-1. We can strike out 26 times and hit one homer and win 1-0.”
The Braves knew what they were getting into when they signed B.J. Upton and traded for his little brother Justin last winter, adding them to a lineup that already included big swingers Uggla, Jason Heyward and Freddie Freeman. Those five players combined for 739 strikeouts last season, so this isn’t exactly a surprising development.
The problem for Atlanta is that Uggla, Heyward and B.J. Upton are all hitting below .200, which has caused their strike zones to expand even more than usual as they try desperately to swing their way out of the slumps. Upton’s average (.146) was lower as of Friday than any other qualifying hitter in baseball, and he was pace to whiff 190 times. Uggla’s strikeout rate computes to a staggering 202 over a full season.
“We weren’t banking on us striking out as many times as we have already this year,” Uggla conceded, though he was quick to add, “We’re still in first place.”
Indeed, when the Braves do get their bat on the ball, it tends to go a long way. Atlanta was leading the NL in homers and ranked among the top five in runs. So maybe there’s something to this all-or-nothing approach.
“It’s all about run production,” National manager Davey Johnson said.
But one thing about baseball: They keep some pretty thorough records.
Taking a few hours to pore over the numbers and with some help from our good friends at STATS, I was able to determine that only eight teams in the entire history of the game have won the World Series after leading their league in strikeouts. More troubling if you’re a Braves‘ fan, only two of those teams _ the 1976 Cincinnati Reds and 1926 St. Louis Cardinals _ were from the National League.

Classic horror game Amnesia returns, bringing open-world mechanics, player-driven gameplay, and guns to the spooky hit on Steam, as Soma and Penumbra developer Frictional Games introduces The Bunker, their terrifying new take on horror. First World War.
Playing as a lone French soldier during World War I, Amnesia: The Bunker plunges you into a “semi-open world” where you must survive against an ever-present stalker-style enemy as you explore, solve puzzles, and make decisions that will affect gameplay.
For the first time in the Amnesia series, you have a weapon: a creaky old revolver with a single bullet in the chamber. Other than that, his only tool is a decrepit dynamo-driven torch. Threats and obstacles change with each game, and Frictional promises “almost no scripted events” combined with “emergent gameplay.”
Instinct might tell you that adding a weapon, or a weapon of any kind, to Amnesia might spoil the monster’s horror and sense of menace. Likewise, a sandbox environment where you’re free to make choices sounds like it could undermine the atmosphere, unraveling the cramped claustrophobia that made previous Frictional Games so scary.
But if a game is linear and takes you level by level, you know, intrinsically, that you can’t really do anything wrong. The worst that can happen is you die and reboot. A choice-driven open-world environment offers the opposite, where you can decide something and then regret it. That adds tension and the possibility of real consequences.
Similarly, in horror games where you don’t have a weapon, you know for sure that you will never have to face the monster. The game would not make you, since you have no weapons. However, a rusty revolver with only one bullet creates a dilemma. You may have to face this horrible thing, and it won’t be easy.
Slow and oppressive, the first trailer for Amnesia: The Bunker, along with all these early details, promises a lot. It will be out on Steam and the Epic Games Store sometime in 2023.
In the meantime, check out some of the other best war games around. The season has passed, but if you want a spooky night, the best Halloween games might be enough for you too, or perhaps the best stealth games, to include some training to avoid the terrors of The Bunker.

Nvidia, a leader in AI technology, particularly AI hardware and software for data centers and self-diving cars, has now set its sights on the more traditional enterprise data center market.
The recently rolled out Nvidia AI Enterprise is a suite of AI tools and frameworks that is optimized for VMware vSphere virtualization software.
The company also announced that the largest hardware vendors, such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Lenovo, and Supermicro, are selling mainstream GPU-powered servers optimized to support AI workloads running on vSphere with Nvidia AI Enterprise.
“[It’s] about bringing AI to the mainstream, to mainstream servers and VMware vSphere. So every enterprise customer can take their own internal private cloud, where they have deployed their line of business applications, and accelerate their environment with Nvidia GPUs and add AI functionality to all of those workloads,” said Manuvir Das, Nvidia’s head of enterprise computing, during a press briefing last week.
Analysts say Nvidia’s announcement is important for enterprises that want to begin to take advantage of AI but haven’t yet started. Configuring the hardware and software for AI is complex, but Nvidia is simplifying the process with all the necessary software components, tools, and hardware, said Karl Freund, founder and principal analyst at Cambrian AI Research.
“Nvidia is doing enterprises a big favor by building a platform with a user interface and all the tools you need to get started with AI,” Freund told DCK in an interview. “It opens the door for enterprises to start and to get serious about AI.”
Das said Nvidia’s enterprise software push is not a side project. “We think there is a significant opportunity here that is separate from the hardware,” he said.
Part of the announcement was a mention that dozens of automotive, education, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology enterprises had been early adopters of Nvidia AI Enterprise software.
The software suite provides data scientists all the tools and frameworks they need to develop and deploy AI workloads, he said, describing the suite as “the nuts-and-bolts operating system for AI.”
Meanwhile, IT leaders can support those AI workloads using the same VMware tools they’ve always used to manage their private and hybrid clouds. And all of it is designed to run on affordable mainstream servers, Das said.
Other certified server vendors are Atos, Gigabyte, and Inspur. The servers support a wide range of Nvidia GPUs and are optimized for AI workloads running on vSphere and Nvidia AI Enterprise.
Nvidia AI Enterprise is available immediately. Subscription licenses start at $2,000 per CPU socket for one year. Perpetual licenses are $3,595, the company said. Nvidia also announced that it has partnered with Domino Data Lab, whose Domino Enterprise MLOps software is integrated with Nvidia AI Enterprise.

Finley raises $17M Series A to help companies manage debt capital as private credit reaches all-time high
The slowdown in venture capital investments over the past years has forced some startups to turn to private credit, including debt capital, as a way to keep their operations afloat and weather the recession storm.
Today, private credit is a $1.2 trillion industry and accounts for 90 percent of all corporate debt in the middle market. Over the past five years, banks have largely exited corporate lending. Private credit, or lending by non-bank parties, has stepped in to fill the void. However, the lack of centralization and standardization in private credit makes navigating the space opaque and time-consuming for startups and medium-sized businesses. That’s why Finley has stepped in to help companies streamline debt capital raise and management.
Explaining the challenges faced by small businesses, Finley co-founder and CEO Jeremy Tsui saw the challenges of manual debt capital management firsthand while working at Goldman Sachs, where he witnessed how relationships between borrowers and capital providers could be made more efficient with purpose-built reporting, transaction, and management software.
Finley is a YC- and Bain Capital Ventures-backed fintech and SaaS startup that helps companies streamline debt capital raise and management. Finley’s software also helps these companies understand and make the most of their corporate loans, particularly those issued by private credit lenders.
Today, Finley announced it has secured a $17 million Series A financing to expand its support for different types of debt capital and develop a new software offering for debt capital providers. The round was led by CRV, with participation from returning investors Bain Capital Ventures, Haystack, Y Combinator, and Nine Four Ventures, as well as specialty lender Upper90. In conjunction with the funding, Finley also announced that James Green, a general partner at CRV, will join its board of directors.
“The current market conditions and limited equity and debt funding makes it even more important for companies of all sizes to be more conscientious of where they’re getting their funding, and how they can make the most of the funding they already have,” says James Green, general partner at CRV. “This is where the Finley team is helping with a product that brings innovation to the CFO’s office and enables companies to unlock full access to their debt capital funding.”
Founded in 2021 by Jeremy Tsui, Josiah Tsui, and Kevin Suh, Finley’s software helps growing companies automate due diligence, ensure compliance, and streamline ongoing reporting with their capital providers. The Finley team brings experience from Goldman Sachs, Nova Credit, and Palantir Technologies, and is backed by Y Combinator and Bain Capital Ventures.
Since developing its platform two years ago, Finley has proven its ability to handle complex credit facilities for a variety of customers, with a focus on technology companies like Ramp, Parafin, and TripActions. Finance teams at these companies rely on Finley to manage hundreds of millions of dollars in debt capital and to carry out tasks ranging from credit agreement digitization to fund disbursement and portfolio analysis.
“Finley is helping us manage our $300 million credit facility with Goldman Sachs,” said Loraine Tang, Voe President of Tax and Treasury at TripActions. “There are many compliance, reporting, and optimization tasks to coordinate in order to make the most of our funding. Finley’s software helps coordinate these tasks by pulling in data from across our systems and streamlining every many aspects of debt capital management for this facility.”
“From my own experience, I saw that missed deadlines and inaccurate reports often jeopardized access to funding for companies, particularly for startups and high-growth companies. The threat of losing access to capital was a constant headache for CFOs,” says Jeremy Tsui, co-founder and CEO of Finley. “By turning debt contracts into code, our software has been able to put guardrails around funding and compliance workflows, which helps our customers save money and gives business leaders peace of mind.”
