Arunachal Pradesh State Commission for Women (APSCW) For Compulsory Marriage Registration
Itanagar: The Arunachal Pradesh State Commission for Women (APSCW) on Thursday reiterated its demand to make registration of marriages compulsory under the law in the State.
The commission’s chairperson Radhilu Chai along with the members during a meeting with Chief Minister Pema Khandu pointed out that hundreds of cases came to the commission were only related to marriages.
“Due to lack of any registration, husband-wife disputes remain unresolved or partially resolved,” she said and urged the government to come up with a feasible act under which all marriages are registered, an official communique informed.
The commission also expressed grave concern over the menace of drug-addiction among the youths of the State. It requested the Chief Minister to keep provisions in the budget for establishment of drug rehabilitation centres and juvenile observation homes with proper facilities and manpower in the State. “The upcoming generation needs attention and care from the State Government or else drug addiction would wipe them out,” the members of the commission observed.
The chairperson requested Khandu to consider the long-pending demand of the womenfolk for reservation in jobs and assembly, which if materializes they said would be one of the greatest achievements of his tenure. Pointing that most issues of women would be resolved if they are made financially independent, the members suggested special loan provisions for women willing to take up small businesses.
“Because they are economically dependent on their male counterparts, women are subjected to various injustices,” the members observed.
The commission also urged the government to establish State Child Rights Commission as soon as possible. APSCW being a quasi-judicial body, the members sought empowerment of the Commission for it to work efficiently and deliver justice to needy women. They also drew attention of the Chief Minister towards lack of regular staff, manpower and office space, which they claimed bows down the efficiency of the commission.
Khandu while acknowledging the constraint under which the women’s body is working, assured to resolve all in phased manner.
He assured to take up the commission’s suggestions and requirements with concerned authorities and also include the suggestions in the ensuing 2019-20 Budget.
The Chief Minister appreciated the pro-active role being played by the Commission members and requested them to cooperate with the government with their constructive suggestions and interventions. APSCW vice chairperson Heyomai Towsik (Vice Chairperson) and members Hoksum Ori, Likha Joya and Techi Hunmai accompanied the chairperson during the meeting, the communique added.

Every Hall of Fame voter is allowed their own opinion, but it's an odd coincidence when fans can deliberately point to classic "homer-ism" as a motivation for which players get enshrined in Cooperstown.
Alan Greenwood, the sports editor at the Nashua Telegraph in New Hampshire, revealed his Hall of Fame ballot on Twitter, with Manny Ramirez and Curt Schilling standing out, along with Barry Bonds, Derek Jeter and Roger Clemens.
All things considered, we don't hate this. At least Greenwood is consistent, opting not to fall into the obvious old-school trap of keeping any player remotely associated with steroids off the ballot entirely. On Greenwood's ballot, we have three potential steroid users (Clemens never publicly admitted), a controversial choice in Schilling and a no-brainer in Jeter.
Clemens and Bonds, in particular, are two of the game's greats, and their baseball immortality is ensured regardless of whether or not some sports writers deem their alleged offenses too serious for induction.
Ramirez, on the other hand, is a longshot to ever receive such buzz. His 555 home runs and .312 career batting average prove he's one of the best hitters of his time, but his proven steroid use takes away from that reputation and tarnishes any attempt to get into the Hall.

Carol Barton makes pop-up books, but she bristles at being classified as a children’s author. “I’m an artist that makes books,” she explains. “They’re not children’s books.”
For nearly two decades, the 53-year-old Glen Echo resident has been working in the “paper-engineering” medium—or pop-up books to the uninitiated. Barton’s books have been displayed in collections around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. She created her last major work, Five Luminous Towers: A Book to Be Read in the Dark, in the summer of 2000 while serving an artist’s residency in Italy and featured designs that were unlike anything you’d find in the kiddie section at Borders. “The whole book lights up,” Barton says. “The text lights up, too. There’s a lookout, a bell tower, and a lighthouse with fiber-optic filaments.”
Copies of Five Luminous Towers, which sell for $2,000 apiece at Barton’s Web site (popularkinetics.com), are made to order. “Usually I do runs of 100 to 500, but with that one I only did 50 because it was so hard to make,” she says.
More affordable copies of Barton’s work, however, can now be found on the shelves. In 2005 the artist published her first mass-produced commercial work, The Pocket Paper Engineer: How to Make Pop-Ups Step-by-Step, through her own Popular Kinetics Press imprint. Originally, Barton sold the book herself, but she’s recently gained national distribution through Independent Publishers Group. The Pocket Paper Engineer is the first in a series of instructional books intended to teach the art of the pop-up and is now widely available.
Barton has been teaching classes on pop-up design since shortly after she finished her first 3-D work, Tunnel Map, in 1986. Barton—who also holds a faculty position at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia—now spends much of her time on the road teaching workshops to anyone from children to architects to grandparents to Mattel Company designers.
According to Barton, the key to teaching pop-up book design is to tone down the math—specifically geometry, which plays a large role in the process. “I had to figure out how to present this information in a way that people could understand without being intimidated,” Barton says. “A lot of people haven’t developed 3-D design skills; they aren’t something you learn regularly.”
For The Pocket Paper Engineer, Barton drew from her years of teaching experience to lay out the basics in easy-to-follow steps. The simple instructions printed on the book’s fold-out cards guide you through creating any number of basic pop-up forms—such as a page of grinning faces or a 3-D crab. Two future volumes featuring more advanced designs are currently in the works, she says.
Still, Barton has a few designs that probably won’t be making an appearance in the series, including a flier she created for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. “I’m friends with the head of publications,” says Barton. “She was complaining that teens never looked at the contraception brochure—so we joked about having me design one.” When asked what exactly the 3-D work depicts, Barton gets a little giggly. “There was a penis, a womb, all of the birth contraception devices.”

An internationally eminent collection of a prominent literary figure, such as the Stefan Zweig Collection in Reed Library, did not come about spontaneously. Its creation required careful planning, often clever sleuthing, lengthy, if not delicately wrought negotiations, hopeful anticipation, numerous donors, benefactors and other supporters. The processing and organizing of the acquired material likewise required a great deal of time before it could be properly and widely offered to its scholarly community and the public at large. Reed Library at the State University of New York College at Fredonia was fortunate to have ample representation of these essential elements in establishing this Special Collection in honor of the world, famous Austrian author, Stefan Zweig. It is now time to gratefully acknowledge the contributions of those who played important roles in this worthy endeavor.
By far the most towering figure in the history of the Stefan Zweig Collection is Dr. Robert Rie, who was, not only a scholar and writer in his own right, but a tireless torch carrier of his compatriots and a loyal friend to Stefan and Friderike Zweig. It was through his ardent efforts and international connections that most of the manuscript material came to Reed Library. Again, due to his continuing activities this core collection was soon enlarged by generous donations of Zweig scholars who willingly shared the contents of their own libraries. Posthumously, to Dr. Rie and to his follow Zweig aficionados a truly special thanks is extended.
Of the many donors, at least a few persons with outstanding gifts should be personally acknowledged. At the head of the list is Ms. Eva Alberman, whose invaluable gift of the manuscript correspondence to Stefan Zweig is not only greatly appreciated by the Administration of the College and Reed Library, but by scholars around the world, by whom the collection is now regularly used. Other prolific donors include Drs. Richard Friedenthal, Harry Zohn, Donald Prater, Robert Rie, Mrs. Carl Hoeller, and many others whose names would be too numerous to mention.
The processing of unique multilingual manuscript and printed materials required a number of specialists. Much to the benefit of Reed Library, John P. Saulitis garnered the assistance of two skilled German natives, Mrs. Thomas Morrissey and Mrs. Ursula Joseph, who devoted countless hours of reading over 6,000 letters and identifying more then 300 writers. The correspondents include world-renowned scholars as well as hardly heard of theatrical personnel and unidentified family members of more illustrious figures. Gerda Morrissey and Uschi Joseph prepared, coded and annotated lists of letters which included the later purchased correspondence between Stefan and Friderike Zweig. No doubt Zweig researchers from around the world are most grateful for the very useful and essential tools that resulted from their most onerous labor. A belated, much earned thanks is now extended to them by all of us who regularly use these lists which constitute a vital part of this Inventory.
The majority of the published works by and about Stefan and Friderike Zweig were ably cataloged by Mrs. Joseph Wilensky, who meticulously analyzed every item that passed her desk and made specific notations in the bibliographic records. Her additional contributions to the mission of all Zweig related activities on campus and in Reed Library were manifold. Her coordination of Zweig related special events with The Friends of Reed Library is particularly noteworthy.
This small but active organization of The Friends was responsible for setting up a room with period furnishings and Zweig memorabilia, where the Stefan Zweig Collection was housed before more adequate quarters became available in Reed Library South in the, new Archives and Special Collections Room. Again many special donations made the Zweig Room possible. Among other items, paintings were contributed by Mrs. Maria Rich ("Salzburg"), and Dr. Harry Zohn ("Georgian Woman with a Tambourine"). Important scholarly activities were also sponsored by The Friends of Reed Library. Under its auspices the 1981 Zweig Symposium was organized with Yvonne Wilensky and Dr. Marion Sonnenfeld as co-coordinators. The Friends Of Reed Library earned a warm and appreciated spot in the hearts of Zweig admirers.
Mrs. Robert Schweik likewise holds a highly regarded place in the history of the Zweig Collection. As Special Assistant to the Director she, for years, coordinated the processing of the manuscript collection and regularly interacted with many Zweig scholars. It was Joanne Schweik who so efficiently handled all incoming inquiries, aided researchers in their work and maintained well documented administrative files of all activities. Those who followed her path are much in her debt for setting up the files and for establishing lasting rapport with the international scholarly community.
One could scarcely pay homage to the pioneering movers of the Stefan Zweig Collection by not bestowing the top honor to its captain of the helm, John P. Saulitis, Director Emeritus of Reed Library. His contributions left a lasting mark on the entire complex project. Mr. Saulitis tirelessly kept his hands and mind busy, closely controlling every little detail relating to the Collection until, much to his credit, Reed Library became an internationally acclaimed repository of Zweigiana.
Because of his background John P. Saulitis was well suited to oversee the entire operation. He was born and educated mainly in Europe with a master's degree in classical philology from Fordham University. He was proficient in several languages, which is an absolute necessity for managing a multilingual collection. As librarian, Mr. Saulitis likewise possessed the needed technical expertise. His cosmopolitan academic training easily enabled him to spot and duly bring out the often hidden intellectual scope- of this Special Collection. As a European, he could freely make successful connections with scholars in the United States and abroad for garnering input on issues relating to the Zweigs and the Collection. His scouting often brought in donations which may not have come this way without his interactions.
Ultimately, Mr. Saulitis should also be recognized for his foresight and perseverance, and especially for tirelessly devoting time, energy and skill in seeking funds for a then obscure collection that was barely known outside a handful of scholars. With his belief in the value of the material, he garnered the necessary support of College Administrators, among them former President Dallas K. Beal and then Vice President Carter Rowland, who lent their early approval. From the members of the Foreign Language Department, particularly Dr. Marion Sonnenfeld, much needed support was also gained. These concerted efforts helped to put Fredonia on the map. Today, scholars from Europe, Latin America, Israel and Russia regularly seek help and material, and acknowledge Reed Library in their publications. It is more than timely to express our heartfelt appreciation to John P. Saulitis for all his accomplishments in creating the Stefan Zweig Collection.
The current Director of Library Services, Susan Besemer, soon realized the significance of the Stefan Zweig Collection and pledged the continuity of established services. It was due to Ms. Besemer's insistence that the Curator attended the Stefan Zweig Conference in Salzburg in 1992, where old communication channels were reopened, and newcomers, particularly young scholars, were welcomed. With her approval, needy researchers from once economically suppressed nations were granted copies of material without dire monetary sacrifice and on-campus visitors were and are treated with an open door policy. Ms. Besemer likewise sanctioned the preparation of this Inventory, for which not just the Compiler but all researchers should be especially grateful.
The Compiler is also indebted to several colleagues who made the process of the Inventory preparation easier. Vince Courtney, the Library's Systems Specialist, arranged the downloading of Zweig entries from the the library's online catalog, which was carried out by Linda Auflick. Gary Barber, Head of Reference, and Jack Ericson, Archivist, helped solve problematic issues and proofread some of the text. Other colleagues came to the rescue many a time when intricate matters needed broader expertise. Many thanks to all for their useful contributions.
As is customary, the last paragraphs should be used for the acknowledgement of the most instrumental persons who shared the daily chores of the preparation process. A very special and final "Thank You" is extended once again to John R Saulitis, who so graciously consented to step out of his well earned retirement to write the background history of the Stefan Zweig Collection in Reed Library, which document serves as the introduction to the Inventory. Yet another accolade. was earned by Joanne Schweik for proofreading his text and references.
And lastly, words fail, but profound appreciation is deeply felt toward Mrs. John Palermo, who converted the manually typed Manuscript Correspondence List to machine readable format and prepared some new ones. Gina Palermo also shaped the published, and miscellaneous materials segments of the Inventory into its uniform and coherent format and typed the accompanying texts. But it was Gina's ability in correcting time and time again the multilingual lists without any knowledge of foreign languages, therefore, she truly earned the Compiler's utmost admiration. Mrs. Palermo heroically adjusted words, phrases, sentences, punctuation marks, and diacritics often after seemingly capricious instructions. Thank you, Gina, for a most tedious job so well done!
The Compiler also owes gratitude to Dr. Jeffrey B. Berlin, who corrected some overlooked errors in the last draft of the Inventory. Final credit, however, was earned by Darwin Gustavson, Computer Network Specialist, who reformatted the completed Inventory on the Ventura Desktop Publishing program to give it its present professional appearance.
Despite the cooperative efforts of many able minds and hands, all shortfalls, structural discrepancies, linguistic errors, and other unintentional misgivings rest solely with the Compiler and Editor. Nevertheless, it is hoped that the Inventory will be helpful to those who need to know what materials relating to Stefan and Friderike Zweig are available in Reed Library. The friendly user also should note that corrections, clarifications and suggestions are readily accepted and most welcomed.

Reigning pop queen Ariana Grande dropped her highly anticipated album overnight Friday after slamming the producer of the Grammys for "lying" about her decision not to perform at music's biggest night. Recent reports indicated Grande pulled out of the show after creative conflicts, and long-time producer of the show Ken Ehrlich told The Associated Press the reason was that the singer felt it was "too late to pull something together".
On Twitter, Grande took the opportunity to thank her fans for their support: "i love y'all. i hope u enjoy this album. this music, you guys and my friends saved my life. love u. sry. iight bye".
The album comes after the "Thank U, Next" singer cancelled her performance at Sunday's Grammy awards in California in America.
Ariana Grande's song "thank u, next" isn't just an anthem to ex-lovers ― it was also a warning that she had another album coming.
The past six months have been particularly eventful and emotional for Grande - themes she confronts on her new 12-track album, named after the immensely relatable breakup song she released on the heels of her broken engagement to comedian Pete Davidson. It's about art and honesty. Grande's "thank you's" seem like genuine appreciation for the ways her previous relationships have helped her grow into the person she is now. Not politics. Not doing favours or playing games. Some people think it's a drag but we'll let you decide.
The "Thank U, Next" singer dropped a new album of the same title on February 8, and delivered a music video as well!
While Ariana won't be there, the Grammys will still feature performances from Cardi B, Dua Lipa, Camila Cabello, Post Malone and Janelle Monáe.
Rappers Kendrick Lamar and and Drake lead the nominations with eight and seven nominations respectively. Lady Gaga, Cardi B and Childish Gambino are also up for a handful of awards, with female performers boasting a heavy presence in top categories after being largely snubbed a year ago.
Joan tweeted: "I agree with you Ariana, I'm so proud of you..."

Supplements not just for grown-ups
Question: Is it safe for me to give herbal supplements to my kids?
Dr. Wright: Many herbal supplements aren't just safe for children; they can also help them be healthier -- and even smarter -- than they might be without them. My colleague and regular Nutrition & Healing columnist Kerry Bone has written about the herbs for children several times over the years, covering topics ranging from the immune-boosting effects of echinacea to the intelligence-enhancing benefits of bacopa.
Of course, as Kerry always reminds his patients and readers, whenever you're giving children medicine of any kind -- even something completely natural -- it's important to consider dosage. Children differ from adults in their metabolism of herbs, they have lower body weights, and they have developing nervous and immune systems that make them more sensitive.
Kerry uses various rules for figuring out doses of herbal supplements for children. The easiest one is Clark's rule: Divide the child's weight in pounds by 150 to determine the fraction of the adult dose that he should take. For example, if a child weighs 50 pounds, he should be given 1/3 of the adult dose.
But before starting your child on any new supplement, you should always check with a physician skilled and knowledgeable in herbal medicine who can verify the appropriate dose and make sure that the herb won't interact with any other medications or supplements he or she might already be taking.

In June 2023, the Monegasque Athletics Federation (FMA) took a new turn towards sustainability by following the recommendations of the Monegasque Mission for Energy Transition (MTE).
As part of its flagship events, the Herculis EBS Meeting, member of the Wanda Diamond League, the FMA conducted a thorough assessment of its carbon footprint during the 2023 edition, which took place last July 21st. With the support of the Monegasque company Gienov, the final report was established in March 2024.
This report highlights several crucial points that will guide the FMA's future actions. Among these, it emerges that 88.5% of emissions are attributable to the transportation of spectators and athletes, 9.4% to materials, and only 0.3% to waste. Regarding this last point, measures have already been implemented to reduce the use of single-use plastic, with nearly 27 kg of plastic avoided through the installation of water fountains for athletes.
This assessment marks the beginning of a series of initiatives by the FMA, which is now focusing on improving public transportation, among other things. Other steps are already underway, such as the pursuit of ISO 20121 certification. These initiatives fall within the general recommendations of the Wanda Diamond League, World Athletics, and European Athletics, which provide support and advice for these sustainability efforts.
The FMA and the Herculis EBS Meeting reiterate their commitment to sustainability while continuing to promote sporting excellence on the international stage.


Targeted durably water-repellent insulation
Stop-and-go alpine mountaineering and ski touring need reliable insulation and climate control. The Sternai is designed for the way we move in the mountains. You get lightweight, thermo-regulating warmth where you need it with TirolWool® Responsive synthetic insulation packaged in a ripstop nylon shell. The bluesign® approved outer fabric has a DWR (durably water repellent) finish to protect from wind, rain and snow, while rugged Durastretch panels in the sleeves add additional breathability.
Hybrid, thermo-regulating insulation
The Sternai has a hybrid, bodymapped construction to meet the specific insulation needs of different areas of the body during high-octane activities in cold conditions. Its 60 g TirolWool® Responsive insulation fill still traps your heat when wet. TirolWool® was developed together with the Tirol Mountain Rescue and is sourced from alpine sheep. Responsive, our proprietary thermo-regulating technology, uses synthetic yarns loaded with thermoreactive minerals that recycle infrared energy back to the body to promote micro blood circulation. These unique abilities are maintained over the total product lifecycle and will not wear out.
The Sternai is named after the mountain of the same name (Italian: Cima Sternai; German: Hintere Eggenspitze) in the Ortler Alps, Italy. It has a tailored Durastretch hood, two zipped outer pockets and a full-length windproof flap behind the front zip. This jacket easily layers under any hardshell and stows down small into its integrated compression pouch.
A hybrid jacket for high-intensity alpine mountaineering and ski touring.


Just Say No to "Healthism"
Here's a politician with the right idea:
Italy's new health minister said he wants more public smoking areas, sharply reduced under a new ban, and slammed what he called a trend towards obsessive health policies, in published comments.
"There is a real threat that we are heading towards a therapeutic society ... a medical tyranny of doctors and a minister who are the only ones allowed to say what constitues 'good living'," said Francesco Storace in an interview with Corriere della Sera.
N.B. Just so we're clear: smoking isn't good for you, but neither are nanny politicians.

LONDON, June 8 (Reuters) - European shares fell on Wednesday, retreating after two straight days of gains, as a drop in Austrian bank Erste knocked back financial stocks.
The pan-European STOXX 600 and FTSEurofirst 300 indexes both fell 0.4 percent, after having risen for the last two days.
Erste fell 3.9 percent, after insurance company Uniqa said late on Tuesday that it would sell around 17.4 million Erste shares.
The shares of payment systems company Ingenico also fell 4.8 percent, impacted by a slump in its rival VeriFone after VeriFone posted lower-than-expected earnings.
However, Sainsbury rose 2.6 percent after the British supermarket operator’s first-quarter sales beat market forecasts, even though Sainsbury warned that it expected market conditions to remain tough. (Reporting by Sudip Kar-Gupta; Editing by Atul Prakash)

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA)
Abdominal aortic aneurysms or ballooning of the abdominal aorta occur within the abdominal aorta, the largest blood vessel in the body. Many of these aneurysms can be repaired with less invasive techniques through the placement of endografts via small incisions in the groin area. Once the aneurysm has been diagnosed, initial treatment is often watchful waiting with periodic scans to determine size and growth rate of the aneurysm. When the risk of rupture outweighs the risk of surgery, our vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists will recommend the repair option best for you. About 80 to 90 percent of the aneurysms we evaluate can be repaired with minimally invasive procedures, sparing the patient longer recovery time, pain, and risk.

Anders Lee: 2G, 2A, 5S
The captain put up another two goals, bringing him to nine on the season. With 31 games played that’s a pace of 24 goals over a full season. It’s a little behind where you’d expect him to be, but remember that Lee went through a tough spell where he didn’t score for eleven games.
Of late Lee has been turning it on. He now has four goals and eight points over his last eight games. A 30 goal season is entirely possible for the former 40 goals scorer.
Brock Nelson: 2G, 2A, 8S
We thought last year’s version of Brock Nelson was the best version of Brock Nelson. With four points this week, Brock now has 25 in 31 games. That puts him on pace for a 66 point season.
Remember when we thought a 45 point Brock Nelson was his ceiling? Imagine if someone told you he could be a 66 point and a committed 200-foot player. How hard would you laugh? Would you literally bust a gut laughing?
What an incredible turn around Brock Nelson is having.
What’s more impressive is how he makes the players around him better. Michael Dal Colle gets a few minutes with Brock and he’s suddenly putting up points. Meanwhile, Derick Brassard has done nothing since being moved off Brock’s wing.
Jordan Eberle: 1G, 3A, 6S
With four points this week, Jordan Eberle seems to be back to his regular self. After missing ten games with an injury earlier this season, it took some time for Eberle to catch up with the rest of the team. He seems to be all caught up now.
Eberle now has at least a point in his last three games and seven over his last seven games.

Justin Bieber Tops Our List Of The Most Overexposed Celebrities:
There’s no question that Justin Bieber is still a powerhouse. He ranks ninth on our most recent Celebrity 100 list with an estimated $58 million in earnings over the 12 months to last June. He’s the second most popular celebrity on Twitter with 50 million followers and his song “Baby” is a certified diamond single, meaning it has sold more than 10 million copies.
But over the past year, Bieber’s reputation has taken some serious hits from his wild behavior, including a bizarre appearance in a gas mask, and multiple accusations of spitting on people, using drugs and smacking paparazzi. His latest black eye is courtesy of leaked video of a deposition in a lawsuit in which Bieber is accused of telling his bodyguard to attack a photographer. Bieber comes off as disrespectful and arrogant — not exactly the wholesome pop star who millions of little girls fell in love with on YouTube.
Perhaps that’s why Bieber tops our annual Forbes/E-Score list of The Most Overexposed Celebrities. For its E-Score Celebrity service, E-Poll Research ranks more than 6,600 bold-faced names based on 46 attributes through public opinion polling. .
Bieber is an unusual addition to a list that is usually dominated by reality stars. It will come as no surprise that four Kardashians make the list this year. Kim is the highest ranking, coming in second with a 61% overexposed rating, followed by sisters Khourtney (who ranks ninth with 50% of respondents calling her overexposed) and Khloe (10th, 49%).

Dragon Age: Inquisition was widely considered one of 2014’s best games. It won the Game of the Year award from many of the top gaming websites, including IGN. It was even recognized as the year’s top game in the new Game Awards show. And it also had the best launch in Bioware’s history, according to publisher Electronic Arts. So the game was a resounding success by any measure, although it certainly wasn’t perfect by any means. Here are 5 reasons why Dragon Age: Inquisition might be our ‘worst’ best Game of the Year.
1. Gamification and tedium
I felt more like a newspaper delivery boy than the Herald of Andraste, a messianic champion out to save the world. In the sense that the game recreates the tedium of real life, it is a failure: epic fantasy RPGs should be about escapism, not about tedium. Skyrim was a game that was able to feature plenty of side activities such as crafting without bogging things down, but Dragon Age: Inquisition pads out the experience with too much filler.

Police Dog Hogan are a hard-to-pin-down mix of Americana influences and British songwriting tradition. They combine fiddle, trumpet, banjo, mandolin, accordion, drums and guitars with four-part harmonies - then fuse it all into songs whose subjects range from shitty white wine to the first day’s battle at Passchendaele; from their trip to Nashville to being hung for stealing at Tyburn, taking in songs about love, loss and a boy growing up in the West Country along the way.
Many Guardian readers will know that Tim Dowling is the banjo player in Police Dog Hogan: what they may not know is that he’s recently added the ‘Flat Guitar’ to his repertoire.
The Sunday Times described them as ‘wonderful’, The Telegraph called their gigs ‘legendary’, Mark Radcliffe on Radio 2 said ‘a great night out is guaranteed’ and much-loved DJ Johnnie Walker has named PDH as ‘one of my favourite bands’.
In2014, Police Dog Hogan were one of only three UK bands invited to Nashville to perform at the prestigious Americana Music Association awards where DJ Bob Harris - in town at the time - snapped them up for a live recording that has become one of the most-watched YouTube videos on his ‘Under the Apple Tree Sessions’ channel. In 2015, they made a showcase appearance on Harris’s Radio 2 show, and in 2016 they appeared at Glastonbury for the first time, on the Avalon stage. 2017 saw them sell out the Scala in London’s Kings Cross.
The band has played headline and support spots on the main stages of numerous key festivals – among others, they have been asked back an unprecedented three times to Larmer Tree, twice to Kendal Calling and Port Eliot, and four times to Cornbury. In fact, this year they were thrilled to be the festival’s closing act on the Songbird Stage.
And they were support to legendary Brian Wilson at this year’s Fairport Cropredy Convention.
Police Dog Hogan have a big banner and a small banner depending on where they’re playing, and have just taken delivery of a super-huge banner, just in case.

“The Gateway is open…”
These cryptic words wake college student Jess Ballard from a terrifying dream into an even more terrifying reality. Jess’ life has never been what anyone would call easy; doing damage control in the wake of your nomadic, alcoholic mother doesn’t exactly make for a storybook childhood.
But now her world has fallen apart just when it should be coming together: her mother gone—dead under mysterious circumstances; her life uprooted to stay with estranged relatives she’s never met, and there’s something odd about some of the people she’s been meeting at school:
Spirit Legacy is book one of the Gateway trilogy. So exciting there there are more to read.
At first, when you pick up this series you may think it’s solely directed at YA audiences as it is set in a college scenario, but this book appeals to readers of all ages, you just have to embrace the possibility and away you go.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The writing is effortless, the storyline is unputdownable, and you are drawn into Jess’s world from the beginning. The characters are so well-drawn and realistic that the whole scenario is utterly encapsulating.
After her mother dies, Jess begins to see ghosts. We join her on her journey of trying to accept that her mother is gone, and yes, she sees ghosts. To discover why and what does it mean. If I was her roommate Tia, I sincerely hope I could cope with all the paranormal happenings as well as she does!
I like the fact that Jess is a rounded character, a touch rebellious and so gutsy in a terrifying situation. She is a heroine we can root for, and I can’t wait to see how she deals with all that is yet to come.
The plot keeps you guessing, and introduces new twists, and sets up book two perfectly. I can’t wait to finish book two Spirit Prophecy, in between all my own editing and proofreading.

Q: Did you come from a performing family?
A: No. But my brother, he did singing and dancing since he was little. My mom was always trying to get me to go and I never went. I was playing football.
Q: So he was the entertainer of the family.
A: Yeah. I used to go to classes and look at the girls (laughs).
Q: At what point did dancing become more than just a way to check out girls?
A: I was playing football (rugby) and I decided I didn't want to play anymore. I got a bad injury and was just over it. I had a friend who was (emceeing a revue) and he goes, "Why don't you put some photos in and audition for it?" I did and I ended up here.
Q: And you never had done anything like this before?
A: No, I didn't even know how to spin (laughs). They were, like, "You've got to spin?" I was, "What?"
Q: So you never saw yourself as the dance guy?
A: Not really (laughs). I just have it in me. My brother got it, so I don't see why not.
Q: He must be jealous.
A: Oh, it's different. He does a very intricate sort of thing. He's, like, very technical and proper. You're just kind of dancing (in "Thunder") for (audiences) and with them, so you're interacting with them.
Q: Was the hardest part: Learning the dancing or learning the interacting?
A: I'm not shy. The dancing part wasn't too hard: Just stay in time (laughs). The hard part is to kind of connect while doing the show, because you've got to know what you're doing like the back of your hand, you've got to be able to do it as if you were sleeping and you've just got to forget about what you're doing and perform to the girls and draw them in.
Q: You began with the cast in Australia and you've toured all over the world since then. Are audiences different in different places?
A: Very different. The Swedish audience is quite reserved. So are the Asian audiences. They're very reserved, but when you go near them, they act like they're scared. It's really funny (laughs). They actually enjoy themselves.
Q: What are Las Vegas audiences like?
A: It just depends. On some nights, the crowd we get is very tame ... but they're actually watching the show and admiring the show rather than screaming. And, then, you go to some shows, and it's just screaming.

Development and use of NO chemical sensor
In the last 25 years, the importance of Nitric Oxide (NO) in biological chemical processes has been recognized. Accordingly, chemists are trying to understand some of mechanisms by which reacts in biological systems. Foundational to gaining deeper understanding of the chemistry is knowing (by measuring) the quantity of material present at various stages of the reaction. For liquids and solids scientists have excellent methods to measure accurately and precisely small amounts material (balances, burets, syringes, and so forth). For gasses it is more difficult. Gasses are soluble (to a small amount) in liquids and known-amounts of NO gas are delivered by delivering a precisely measured volume of NO-saturated solution. However the exact amount of NO in the solution is not precisely known, it is only known to be “saturated”. We propose to develop a chemical sensor, based on cobalt tetraphenyl porphyrin (CoTPP) to determine more precisely the amount of NO that is present in solvents that are commonly employed in synthetic organic and inorganic chemistry.

Just another week in the world of regulation:
- 89 new final rules were published last week, compared to 68 the previous week. That’s the equivalent of a new regulation every one hour and 53 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All in all, 589 final rules have been published in the Federal Register this year. If this keeps up, the total tally for 2012 will be 3,477 new rules.
- 1,594 new pages were added to the 2012 Federal Register last week, for a total of 12,961 pages. At this pace, the 2012 Federal Register will run 77,149 pages.
- There were 17 significant actions this week, as defined by Executive Order 12866. Of those, none are “economically significant” final rules, meaning a cost $100 million or more per year. So far, 85 significant rules have been published in 2012.
- So far this year, 100 final rules affect small businesses. 19 of them are significant rules.
- The 9 economically significant rules published so far in 2012 cost at least $15.01 billion. Two of the rules do not have cost estimates. We assume that rules lacking basic transparency measure cost the bare minimum of $100 million per year. The true cost is almost certainly higher.
Here are highlights from final rules that passed this week:
- The Agricultural Marketing Service published a proposed rule under which it would like to pay for advertising and promoting beef. Corporate welfare: it’s what’s for dinner.
- The Defense Department, General Services Administration, and NASA jointly issued five separate rules on Friday about acquisition and dealing with contractors. Read them here, here, here, here, and here.
- The FAA issued new security regulations for airplane bathrooms.

Catshill residents launch petition against housing plans
2:00pm Wednesday 13th February 2013 in News
CONCERNED residents in Catshill have launched a petition against housing development plans.
People living in Byron Way fear a proposal by Bromsgrove District Housing Trust (bdht) to build homes in the area will make it difficult for emergency vehicles to access the street.
The latest application by bdht to erect two homes at the rear of 22-33 Byron Way follows another in the same street for six rental properties behind numbers 2-8.
Residents are now determined to fight against the plans and have launched a petition to show their feelings on the issue.
Resident John McKennedy said: “It is ridiculous that they are going to try to build more houses in Byron Way. I have had three heart attacks so it is very important that an ambulance can get down the street. The big issue for residents is the worry that emergency vehicles will have difficulty, not to mention refuse collections. There just isn’t enough room to fit in the extra homes and parking spaces.
“A petition has been started and there are lots of names already on it. It doesn’t make sense to build the homes there.”
Mike Brown, chief executive of bdht, said: “We welcome feedback on the proposed site. However, our position is we still need to address the affordable housing shortage in the area, especially as we have over 3,000 people on the waiting list for homes.
“The planning process will allow residents to raise any concerns they may have but in regard to the issues of parking and public access, these are all aspects of the planning process that the council’s planning officers will consider when processing our application.”

BANNER ELK, N.C. – The Lees-McRae College men's soccer team fell to Emmanuel by a score of 2-1 on a chilly Homecoming afternoon at Tate Field. With the defeat, the Bobcats move to 2-5-2 overall and 2-2-1 in conference play.
Despite the loss, the Bobcats controlled the pace of play for the majority of Saturday's contest. The Bobcats outshot the Lions 15-5 on the day, including a 5-0 margin in the first half. However, the Lions made some clutch plays when they needed to. Emmanuel netted both of its goals within 50 seconds of each other. One was off a free kick and the other was a one-timer that beat the Bobcat keeper. LMC's lone goal in the match was courtesy of Agustin Ortiz on a penalty shot. It was Ortiz's first goal of the 2019 campaign.
Anton Sundstrom saw his record dip to 2-5-2 with today's loss against Emmanuel. Even with the loss, Sundstrom hit a milestone Saturday as he became the tenth Bobcat goalkeeper ever to reach 100 saves in their career with a save in the second half.
Lees-McRae will return to the pitch on Wednesday when it travels to Catawba in its final non-conference match of the regular season. Kickoff for that contest is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

It also introduced a service last week to enable customers to pay their phone, internet and utility bills at Barclays ATMs.
The two electronic channels will allow customers to manage their finances conveniently and securely.
Subscribers will be able to use the full functionality of the internet banking service, including viewing transactions on their current, savings, fixed deposit and loan accounts at their convenience.
They can also transfer funds between their current and savings accounts, as well as to a third party account held with Barclays or other local and international banks.
Customers can use internet banking to pay their utility bills from registered service providers, set up standing orders and order bank drafts, as well as send secure messages to Barclays to enquire about particular transactions on their account, send a compliment or make a complaint.
Barclays internet banking service is free.
ATM bill payment
ATM bill payment is also free, and enables customers to pay their bills to Intelvision, Airtel and the Public Utilites Corporation at any time.
The service is available on Barclays 14 ATMs on the islands of Mahé, Praslin and La Digue.
Rakesh Jha, Barclays Seychelles Managing Director, said: “Barclays continues to expand its range of products, services and channels.
“Internet banking for individual customers and ATM bill payment join the suite of new and improved electronic banking options that Barclays offers its customers. They also include eStatements, a service that delivers customer statements in their mailbox as a secure, encrypted PDF attachment, and SMS alerts, another service that sends customers SMS messages when a particular transaction takes place on their accounts.
“We are confident that these two new additional channels will make a significant difference to our customers with increasingly busy lives, taking our service levels to great new heights.”

The Oculus Rift was the first big name in the current wave of VR, and Oculus is still a major player. The Rift S has a higher resolution than the Vive (but not as high as the Vive Pro or, strangely, the Oculus Quest) and newer and lighter Oculus Touch motion controllers, and doesn't need external sensors to work. It does, however, need DisplayPort; if your PC only has an HDMI output, you might want to hunt for the previous Rift and deal with the extra cables. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w82a1FT5o88&t=1s
We know the world through our senses and perception systems. In school we all learned that we have five senses: taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing. These are however only our most obvious sense organs. The truth is that humans have many more senses than this, such as a sense of balance for example. These other sensory inputs, plus some special processing of sensory information by our brains ensures that we have a rich flow of information from the environment to our minds.
In Virtual Reality, the computer uses similar sensors and math. However, rather than locating a real camera within a physical environment, the position of the user’s eyes are located within the simulated environment. If the user’s head turns, the graphics react accordingly. Rather than compositing virtual objects and a real scene, VR technology creates a convincing, interactive world for the user.
Setup for the PS VR is relatively simple compared to the Vive and Rift – the majority of the work is just plugging wires into the right ports. The PS VR, like the Vive, uses a halfway box where all the wires go. There's also just one sensor here to worry about, largely because most of the PS VR experiences are meant for sitting or standing in one position.
To a degree, I’ve made it sound harder than it actually is since software has compensated for much of this, but these were some of the questions I was asking when I was first learning. I then started learning that some standard editing procedures could still be done. For example, I can still create image masks in 360°. So in truth, I still stood behind the camera the whole time along with others and gear and then masked myself out with a separate cut of footage showing the empty room. And for the motion graphics, (I use Adobe software) the software has built-in accommodations for editing and viewing in the 3D space so as to create accurate graphics. So in truth, once I learned, it wasn’t that hard, but boy is it time-consuming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNbxXSOsmKs&t=1s
One place Microsoft has succeeded in how easy it is to set up its WMR headsets. It uses inside-out tracking, so you won't need to go plug in a bunch of sensors to make sure your headset is being seen. These headsets have built-in cameras and sensors that handle all of that. They'll even track the Windows Mixed Reality controllers, which suffer a bit because they rely on the headset being able to see them clearly to properly track. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Insta360-ONE-X-Sports-Action-Camera-5-7K-Video-VR-360-For-iPhone-and-Android/32944157625.html
In 2010, Palmer Luckey designed the first prototype of the Oculus Rift. This prototype, built on a shell of another virtual reality headset, was only capable of rotational tracking. However, it boasted a 90-degree field of vision that was previously unseen in the consumer market at the time. Distortion issues arising from the lens used to create the field of vision were corrected for by software written by John Carmack for a version of Doom 3. This initial design would later serve as a basis from which the later designs came. In 2012, the Rift is presented for the first time at the E3 gaming trade show by Carmack. In 2014, Facebook purchased Oculus VR for what at the time was stated as $2 billion but later revealed that the more accurate figure was $3 billion. This purchase occurred after the first development kits ordered through Oculus' 2012 Kickstarter had shipped in 2013 but before the shipping of their second development kits in 2014. Zenimax, Carmack's former employer, sued Oculus and Facebook for taking company secrets to Facebook; the verdict was in favour of Zenimax, settled out of court later. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/9880-Anti-Police-Anti-Radar-Detector-Touch-Button-Laser-eye-360-degree-detection-Fully-16-bands/32847951694.html
Modern VR headsets now fit under one of three categories: Mobile, tethered, or standalone. Mobile headsets are shells with lenses into which you place your smartphone. The lenses separate the screen into two images for your eyes, turning your smartphone into a VR device. Mobile headsets like the Samsung Gear VR and the Google Daydream View are relatively inexpensive at around $100, and because all of the processing is done on your phone, you don't need to connect any wires to the headset.
While audio-visual information is most easily replicated in Virtual Reality, active research and development efforts are still being conducted into the other senses. Tactile inputs such as omnidirectional treadmills allow users to feel as though they’re actually walking through a simulation, rather than sitting in a chair or on a couch. Haptic technologies, also known as kinesthetic or touch feedback tech, have progressed from simple spinning-weight “rumble” motors to futuristic ultrasound technology. It is now possible to hear and feel true-to-life sensations along with visual VR experiences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPUDZPWhiiE&t=1s
In 2016, HTC shipped its first units of the HTC Vive SteamVR headset. This marked the first major commercial release of sensor-based tracking, allowing for free movement of users within a defined space. A patent filed by Sony in 2017 showed they were developing a similar location tracking technology to the Vive for PlayStation VR, with the potential for the development of a wireless headset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm3oZFu3rO4&t=1s
Nintendo's Labo series of games/arts-and-crafts sets for the Nintendo Switch have interested us since the first Labo Variety Kit came out. You build your own controllers with cardboard and play games using the Switch and motion-sensing Joy-Con controllers. Now Nintendo has returned to VR (a field it hasn't set foot in since the ill-fated Virtual Boy) with its fourth Labo package, the Labo VR Kit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uCBhzulVec&t=1s
Many PlayStation VR games work with the DualShock 4, so you don't even need motion controls. However, those motion controls are where the PlayStation VR lags behind; the headset still uses the PlayStation Move wands from the PlayStation 3 era, and they aren't nearly as capable or comfortable as the Oculus Touch controllers. They're also expensive, and not always included in PlayStation VR bundles. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT-LpxQVr4JlrC_mYwJGJ3Q
HTC's Vive is a comprehensive package that includes a headset, two motion controllers, and two base stations for defining a "whole-room" VR area. It's technically impressive, and can track your movements in a 10-foot cube instead of just from your seat. It also includes a set of motion controllers more advanced than the PlayStation Move. PC-tethered VR systems like the Vive need plenty of power, with HTC recommending at least an Intel Core i5-4590 CPU and a GeForce GTX 970 GPU. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZUSKAxEB_1l9hBpxEK_zQ
Fast Five and Star Trek Beyond director Justin Lin put together this short film for Google's Spotlight Story program in 2016, and it's still one of the more ambitious live action VR shorts out there. Lin opts to use 360 cameras to put you in what feels like a big budget blockbuster, with an alien hellbent on chasing you through the subway. It's absolutely thrilling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x88RLbi0kzk&t=1s
Visuals are delivered via an OLED display that offers 1,440 x 1,660 resolution per eye. There's also a built-in speaker with the option to plug in headphones for a more isolated experience. While the VR experience might be on par with those PC-powered headsets, it's still very good and a big step up from the Oculus Go. Games run nice and smooth, though the smartphone-like processing power does mean some titles can take slightly long to load up.
The more powerful Vive Pro offers a higher-resolution display, outward-facing cameras, and a handful of other enhanced features, but it isn't nearly as compelling as the regular Vive; it costs $300 more, and doesn't include the base stations and motion controllers needed to work, so you effectively need to already have a Vive or spend even more money to get set up with it. If that isn't enough power, the Vive Pro Eye adds built-in eye-tracking to the already advanced headset. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Insta360-ONE-360-Camera-Sport-Action-Video-Camera-VR-Panoramic-Camera-24MP-7K-Photos-4K-Videos/32878260145.html
In our hands-on time with the Odyssey, we felt it was the one Mixed Reality headset that's on the same level as Oculus Rift. It has a premium, comfortable feel that the other headsets, from the likes of Lenovo, Acer and HP don't have. For Windows Mixed Reality right now, Samsung holds the bar. With the arrival of the Odyssey+, Samsung has improved things further with double the pixel count than the first Odyssey and an Anti-SDE (Screen-Door Effect) Display, aimed at mitigating a condition that can lead to mild dizziness and nausea. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/360-Lace-Frontal-Wigs-For-Black-Women-Curly-Wig-With-Baby-Hair-Pre-Plucked-180-Density/32815608547.html
In medicine, simulated VR surgical environments under the supervision of experts can provide effective and repeatable training at a low cost, allowing trainees to recognize and amend errors as they occur. Virtual reality has been used in physical rehabilitation since the 2000s. Despite numerous studies conducted, good quality evidence of its efficacy compared to other rehabilitation methods without sophisticated and expensive equipment is lacking for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. A 2018 review on the effectiveness of mirror therapy by virtual reality and robotics for any type of pathology concluded in a similar way. Another study was conducted that showed the potential for VR to promote mimicry and revealed the difference between neurotypical and autism spectrum disorder individuals in their response to a two-dimensional avatar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHUErvVAeIw&t=1s
So far, Apple has been very cool on VR, but that's slowly starting to change, at least from a software development side. OS X High Sierra enables VR development on three major VR software platforms: Steam, Unity, and Unreal. It also uses Apple's Metal 2 framework, which the company says provides the performance necessary for VR. No plans for any Apple-branded VR headset have been announced—we'll much more likely see Rift or Vive compatibility added to Macs. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Sovawin-VR-360-Degree-Camera-4K-Wifi-Video-Mini-Panoramic-2448-2448-HD-Panorama-Action-Waterproof/32791476785.html
Virtual Reality’s most immediately-recognizable component is the head-mounted display (HMD). Human beings are visual creatures, and display technology is often the single biggest difference between immersive Virtual Reality systems and traditional user interfaces. For instance, CAVE automatic virtual environments actively display virtual content onto room-sized screens. While they are fun for people in universities and big labs, consumer and industrial wearables are the wild west. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc9H7UFzpPw&t=1s
Despite being one of the big three in high-end VR, the PS VR is a noticeable step down from the Rift and Vive. It's got a 120Hz refresh rate, which is higher than the others, but it's not as crisp with its 1920 x 1080 resolution, which means things are a little more blurry. Plus, its PS Move controllers feel very long in the tooth; they're repurposed motion controllers from the days when the Nintendo Wii was popular, and feel very outdated when compared to the Rift's Touch controllers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrObZ_HZZUc&t=1s
VR can simulate real workspaces for workplace occupational safety and health purposes, educational purposes, and training purposes. It can be used to provide learners with a virtual environment where they can develop their skills without the real-world consequences of failing. It has been used and studied in primary education, military, astronaut training, flight simulators, miner training, architectural design, driver training and bridge inspection. Immersive VR engineering systems enable engineers to see virtual prototypes prior to the availability of any physical prototypes. Supplementing training with virtual training environments has been claimed to offer avenues of realism in military and healthcare training while minimizing cost. It also has been claimed to reduce military training costs by minimizing the amounts of ammunition expended during training periods.
In 1979, Eric Howlett developed the Large Expanse, Extra Perspective (LEEP) optical system. The combined system created a stereoscopic image with a field of view wide enough to create a convincing sense of space. The users of the system have been impressed by the sensation of depth (field of view) in the scene and the corresponding realism. The original LEEP system was redesigned for NASA's Ames Research Center in 1985 for their first virtual reality installation, the VIEW (Virtual Interactive Environment Workstation) by Scott Fisher. The LEEP system provides the basis for most of the modern virtual reality headsets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTM8vXtdIUA&t=1s
