'Bad' Embroidered Tailcoat of Michael Jackson
This is a specially designed tailcoat with gold work embroidery worn by the USA artist, Michael Jackson (1958-2009) during his 'Bad' concert tour of 1987-1988. The tailcoat in question is heavily embellished with gold thread embroidery in the form of stylised foliage motifs. The raised areas were created with card templates and then covered with various forms of purl and pearl-purl threads.
Angarkha with Chikan Work
The Textile Museum of Canada houses a cotton angarkha coat that dates to about AD 1900. It is 119 cm long and 191 cm wide. It has been decorated with chikan work.
Armoured Doublet from England
In medieval Europe, a special form of armour was being worn, called either a jack or a jack of plate. It was the medieval equivalent of a bullet-proof vest. A jack of plate takes the form of a doublet with a series of small iron plates sewn (quilted) between layers of canvas and sometimes felt. This type of armour may weigh about 7.5 kg.
Banjara Blouse
The British Museum in London houses a blouse, made of cotton and decorated with embroidery. The garment measures 41 by 71 cm. It is attributed to the Banjaras from Himachal Pradesh, India. The blouse was acquired by the Museum in 1993.
Banjara Bodice
The British Museum in London houses a bodice that is made of cotton and decorated with embroidery, coins and shisha work. It is attributed to Banjaras from Rajasthan, Western India. The bodice measures 60 by 63 cm. It dates to 1918 or earlier.
Banjara Man's Waistcoat
The British Museum in London houses a man's waistcoat that is made of cotton and decorated with embroidery, mainly with geometric motifs. It is attributed to Banjaras from Central India. The garment measures 75 by 24 cm (excl. shoulder straps). It dates to the early twentieth century or before.
Banjara Skirt
The British Museum in London houses a skirt that is made of cotton and decorated with embroidery and shisha work. It is attributed to Banjaras from Rajasthan in India. It dates to 1918 or earlier. The skirt measures 90 by 50 cm.
Banjara Woman's Neck Cover
The British Museum in London houses a woman's neck cover that is made of cotton and decorated with embroidery (long and short stitch), cowrie shells and pompoms made of silk. It is attributed to Banjaras from central India. The neck cover measures 30 by 23 cm. The object was acquired in 1991.
Bast Fibre Tunic, Japan
The Ethnologisches Museum in Berlin houses a bast fibre tunic from among the Ainu in Hokkaido, Japan. It dates to the second half of the nineteenth century, or earlier, and was acquired by Max August Scipio von Brandt (1835-1920). The fabric is made of the bast of the Atsui tree. The tunic measures 123 x 115.6 cm. The embroidery is worked with cotton.
A bertha is a collar made of lace or another thin fabric. It is generally flat and round, covering the low neckline of a dress, and accentuating a woman's shoulders. It was particularly popular in the nineteenth century, but bertha-like garments were also worn in the seventeenth century and are still being worn, as for instance with bridal dresses.
Bidang, Borneo, Indonesia
The National Museums of Scotland house a late-nineteenth century bidang, a woman's skirt, from Borneo, Indonesia. It is made of cotton and decorated with shells, beadwork and embroidery.
Bison Hide with Embroidery, America
The Ethnologisches Museum in Berlin holds a bison hide with some simple embroidery. The hide measures 271 x 218 cm. It was acquired c. 1832-1834 by the German explorer, Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied (1782-1867), from the Gros Ventre region (North Central Montana) in the (modern) USA.
Blouse with Badla Embroidery (Iran)
The collection of the Textile Research Centre (TRC), Leiden, includes an early twentieth century's woman's blouse (locally called a pirahan) from Iran that is decorated with badla work and applied beads. The blouse measures 54 x 30 cm; the sleeves are 32 cm long. This type of blouse is sometimes associated with Jewish brides. Badla work is called in Irab khus-duzi.
Bodice from Zeeland, 1825
The Nederlands Openluchtmuseum in Arnhem, houses an embroidered bodice from Zeeland, in the southwest of the country. Locally called a beuk, and more nationally called a kraplap, this type of garment consists of two panels sewn together along one side with an opening in the centre for the head. The beuk is made of linen and embroidered in cross stitch with silk. Cotton is used for the sewing.
Boy's Coat from Chitral (Pakistan)
The British Museum in London houses an embroidered, woollen boy's coat (92 x 158 cm) that originates from Chitral in the extreme north of Pakistan and was acquired in 1987. Coat is made of strips of densely woven and fulled wool, embroidered with woollen thread using chain stitch. Embroidered patterns recall patterns on Kashmir rugs.
Bridal Bodice from Marken, The Netherlands,
The Nederlands Openluchtmuseum in Arnhem, houses an embroidered bodice from the island of Marken, in the former Zuiderzee, now the IJsselmeer. Locally it is called a bruidsrijglijf. It is made of silk and embroidered with silk. The red band along the bottom is made of wool. Small bustle-style cushions were suspended from this band to broaden the apperance of the hips.
Buckskin Shirt with Quill Embroidery
The National Museums Scotland holds a buckskin shirt with painted decoration and quill embroidery. It dates to the early nineteenth century and was owned by Chief Wanatak, who died in 1837. the Museums also hold Chief Wanatak's leggings acc. nos. A.1942.1 A and B.
Catte Embroidery of Mary, Queen of Scots
The so-called catte embroidery of Mary Queen of Scots is a slip in the form of a cross, decorated with an embroidered figure of a ginger cat that is wearing a crown and is playing with a mouse, on a checked floor. The catte embroidery is now in the Royal Collection, London. It was worked by Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-1587; her monogram of a combined MA can be seen to the left of the cat).
Chapan from Uzbekistan, Late Nineteenth Century
The Victoria and Albert Museum, London, UK, holds a late nineteenth century, densely decorated chapan (coat without front fastenings) from what is now Uzbekistan in Central Asia. The coat, measuring 144 x 98 cm, is made of plain weave cotton with silk thread embroidery, and lined with a silk (resist-dyed) ikat material.
The cheongsam is regarded as the 'standard' dress for Chinese women from the 1930's until the 1960's. During this time it was popular in China's main cities such as Shanghai as well as Hong Kong, Taiwan and among the Chinese diaspora throughout the world. They were often embroidered, either by hand or with a machine. There have been attempts to make the cheongsam into the national dress of China.


National Library Week is coming to an end. The event began last Sunday (April 8th) with the theme, "Libraries Lead," and in honor of #NationalLibraryWeek, the ALA (American Library Association) let libraries know that this past week was the perfect opportunity for them "to encourage their community to tell their stories."
"This year, in keeping with the Libraries Lead theme, the ALA suggested that libraries ask patrons to let them know how the library led them to something of value in their lives."
The ALA also annnounced a conest, promising, "one randomly selected winner will receive a $100 VISA gift card and a copy of 'Firebird,' the Coretta Scott King Award-winning book by Misty Copeland, 2018 National Library Week Honorary Chair..."
And they stated, "Library lovers can post to Twitter, Instagram, or on the I Love Libraries Facebook page during National Library Week for a chance to win."
They informed persons who were interested in making a submission that,"Entries can be a picture, video, or text. Creativity is encouraged."
The only "rule" that they listed was: "Just be sure they include the hashtags #NationalLibraryWeek and #LibrariesLead on their social media posting"
I will be submitting the photograph that can be seen atop this entry. In it, Cam, my visiting cardinal, (who is familiar to my regular readers) can be seen (at the left) reminding her husband Mac (right) that two volumes of her book series, Words In Our Beak, are now available.
One of the only thing Cam loves more than having her stories in book format is to be eating black-oil sunflower seeds, which she is munching on as she exercises her having-been-published bragging rights to her husband. As you can see he suggests that Cam get her books into libraries.
In terms of libraries and me, growing up, my local library was a big part of my life. I attribute my love of reading (which is certainly something of great value) to this institution. Moreover, my love of reading led me to a love of writing.
I'm happy to say that I have now published two volumes (through the Indie Publisher Ingram Spark) of the Words In Our Beak book series, where the story is told from the perspective of a female cardinal named Cam.
Just as ALA's theme for this year wanted to "encourage their community to tell their stories," my goal in the Words In Our Beak series, is to help Cam, the book's story teller to have her stories told without someone putting words in her beak.
I am grateful to say that a number of people who have purchased volume one or volume two of the Words In Our Beak book series have donated a copy to their local library. This includes people who live in Illinois, New York and Massachusetts.
In terms of my book donations, I have this to say: because my the stories in my books are told from a bird's perspective and because I live in New York City, I donated volume one (seen directly below) to New York City Audubon's library (seen in the second image of the set below).
Volume One has also been donated by someone who works for the New York Public Library. Her donation of my book went to a raffle (the box of prizes that included volume one of my book series can be seen below) sponsored by VRA (Visual Resources Association).
As for volume two, being donated, Chaplain David De Simone gave a copy of it to NYC Audubon's library this past Thursday. The cover of that book can be seen in the next image and in the picture after that one, Chaplain David can be seen (L) giving it to Andrew Masa (R) who is on their staff.
Meanwhile, dear reader, as 2018's National Library Week comes to a close, I'll leave you with a Peanuts Comic Strip that was created in honor of this event when it took place in 1961.

Market forecasting isn't like the weather…
Because I live in the mountains where the weather changes often, I've never really relied on forecasts. Instead, I prefer to look out of the window to see what's happening in real-time. My low-tech approach made sense for years. But my strategy—and the jokes about weather forecasters—may one day be a thing of the past.
Even as you yell at your TV during the weather segment of your local newscast, forecasts are actually getting more accurate. Three-day forecasts today are as good as 36-hour forecasts were in the 1980s, and the average error in hurricane-tracking predictions has been slashed by two-thirds since the early 1970s.
This improvement is a result of computer models that collect all the data—temperatures, clouds, and winds—and put it into mathematical equations. These models were built by looking for and identifying variables that offered some predictive value. Over time, as more of these factors were identified and fed into the model, the accuracy of the forecast improved.
We have been attempting to do the same thing with the stock market. We have spent endless amounts of time, money, and human capital trying to identify variables that help predict market behavior. We have looked at the ridiculous (Super Bowl winners) and the more serious (past performance). Still, none of them have much predictive value, particularly over the short term.
But that doesn't stop us from looking, which often leads to guessing. And guessing is no way to make investment decisions.
The pioneering investor Ben Graham is said to have described the market as being hard to predict: "In the short run, the stock market behaves like a voting machine, but in the long term, it acts like a weighing machine."
And because humans are doing the voting, it's very difficult to predict which way the vote will go. Another reason is that investing is not a physical science.
It's not like gravity or even the weather. It doesn't follow set laws. On any given day, the stock market represents the collective feelings of all of us. More often than not, those feelings are based on fear or greed. And it is only in hindsight that we recognize our mistakes.
So while on one level, human behavior seems predictable (e.g., we get excited and buy stocks when they are flying high; we get scared and sell when stocks decline), it's awfully hard to know what we're doing until it's too late.
I bring up the subject of forecasting because, despite knowing better, I still see a lot of people playing what I consider a fool's game. There is no proven, market-predicting model hidden in a computer that only a few people have access to.
The facts have remained the same. Over time (think 10, 15, or 20 years), stocks typically do better than bonds, and bonds typically do better than cash. Low expenses are typically a good sign of future relative performance. We also know that a diversified portfolio will help protect you from the variability of the stock market.
Beyond that, it's just a guessing game, and we're pretending to know something we don't.
I'm ready to stop pretending. Are you?

Memorial Game for Coach Daryl Thomas Set for December 14th
Posted 12/04/2018 02:43PM
Montini Catholic will be honoring the legacy of former Head Varsity Basketball Coach Daryl Thomas when they host a special Broncos vs (St. Joseph) Chargers Memorial Game on Friday, December 14th.
It was with a heavy heart that Montini Catholic announced the passing of Thomas earlier this year on March 28th from a massive heart attack suffered at his home. The Lasallian high school celebrated his life and legacy on Friday, April 6, 2018 during a Mass with alumni, friends and Coach Thomas' family.
"Coach Daryl was a loving and caring husband, father and son, a dedicated and energetic teacher and coach and a positive, energetic and thoughtful man," said President Jim Segredo. "He was a great role model not only to Montini students and his players but he was a great role model to all of us. Although he was only with us at Montini Catholic for three years, he certainly made a positive impact on our school. His infectious laugh, his positive and caring attitude and his dedication and hard work as our Head Boys Basketball Coach will continue to live on and be remembered."
"Both schools will be remembering Coach Thomas during this special evening," announced Montini Athletic Director, Tom Lentine. Both will wear special shooting shirts and representatives from Montini and St. Joseph's will sing the National Anthem together." Lentine added that, "All of the money raised will go toward planting a tree in Daryl's honor on Montini's campus and in setting up a Daryl Thomas Scholarship Fund."
Coach Thomas History
Upon being selected to coach at Montini Catholic, Thomas was the Manager of Player Development and Lead Basketball Instructor at the Chicago Bulls/White Sox Academy in Lisle, Illinois. He was also an Assistant Varsity and Head Sophomore Boys Basketball Coach for nine years at St. Joseph's High School in Westchester where he worked with his former high school coach, Hall of Famer, Gene Pingatore. In five of the nine years, Thomas also served as the Head Boys Sophomore Coach as well as the Assistant Boys Varsity Coach.
As a high school student athlete at St. Joseph's in Westchester, Thomas was named to several All State teams and was named as a McDonald's All American.
Highly recruited by several major college basketball programs, Thomas accepted a Division One basketball scholarship to Indiana University where he played for the legendary Bobby Knight. While at Indiana, Thomas, was selected to the All Big Ten First Team his junior and senior year. He was a starter and co-captain on the 1987 Indiana National Championship Team that defeated Syracuse University 74 to 73. Thomas graduated from Indiana University with degrees in Criminal Justice and Social Studies.
Thomas was selected in the 1987 NBA draft by the Sacramento Kings. After a short NBA career with the Kings, Thomas played professional basketball oversees on various European Teams for 14 years.
Both schools will be selling special commemorative t-shirts ($10) leading up to the game. "Anyone wearing the shirt on the 14th will get in for free," said Lentine.

Q: In Scheme, why would you use let instead of let*? Is it because we want to conserve memory space?

A: Scott's answer is correct, but I want to pitch in with another perspective.
Scheme culture cares a great deal about functional programming. Functional code should not care about ordering of operations. This is, in fact, why an expression like (foo (bar) (baz (qux))) does not say anything about which order those functions will be run, except that:

*

*qux will be run before baz is run

*both bar and baz will be run before foo is run

In particular, qux can be run before or after bar, and even a sequence like qux → bar → baz → foo is valid.
For a similar reason, let should be used by default; it signals to the reader that the usual functional assumptions apply, that the bindings can be evaluated in any order. let* should only be used to alert the reader to the unusual behaviour of having bindings depend on previous ones in the same let* form.

A: let*, at the cost of being more capable, has to serialize the terms being defined (since each can depend on previous ones), whereas the terms in a let can be set up in any order (and even in parallel, should the architecture allow for that).

Fruits and vegetables are often a good source of vitamins.
A vitamin is an organic compound required as a nutrient in tiny amounts by an organism. A compound is called a vitamin when it cannot be synthesized in sufficient quantities by an organism, and must be obtained from the diet. Thus, the term is conditional both on the circumstances and the particular organism. For example, ascorbic acid functions as vitamin C for some animals but not others, and vitamins D and K are required in the human diet only in certain circumstances.
Vitamins are classified by their biological and chemical activity, not their structure. Thus, each "vitamin" actually refers to a number of vitamer compounds, which form a set of distinct chemical compounds that show the biological activity of a particular vitamin. Such a set of chemicals are grouped under an alphabetized vitamin "generic descriptor" title, such as "vitamin A," which (for example) includes retinal, retinol, and many carotenoids. Vitamers are often inter-convertible in the body. The term vitamin does not include other essential nutrients such as dietary minerals, essential fatty acids, or essential amino acids, nor does it encompass the large number of other nutrients that promote health but are otherwise required less often.
Vitamins have diverse biochemical functions, including function as hormones (e.g. vitamin D), antioxidants (e.g. vitamin E), and mediators of cell signaling and regulators of cell and tissue growth and differentiation (e.g. vitamin A). The largest number of vitamins (e.g. B complex vitamins) function as precursors for enzyme cofactor bio-molecules ( coenzymes), that help act as catalysts and substrates in metabolism. When acting as part of a catalyst, vitamins are bound to enzymes and are called prosthetic groups. For example, biotin is part of enzymes involved in making fatty acids. Vitamins also act as coenzymes to carry chemical groups between enzymes. For example, folic acid carries various forms of carbon group – methyl, formyl and methylene - in the cell. Although these roles in assisting enzyme reactions are vitamins' best-known function, the other vitamin functions are equally important.
Until the 1900s, vitamins were obtained solely through food intake, and changes in diet (which, for example, could occur during a particular growing season) can alter the types and amounts of vitamins ingested. Vitamins have been produced as commodity chemicals and made widely available as inexpensive pills for several decades, allowing supplementation of the dietary intake.
Retinol (one vitamer of Vitamin A)
The Ancient Egyptians knew that feeding a patient liver (back, right) would help cure night blindness.
The value of eating a certain food to maintain health was recognized long before vitamins were identified. The ancient Egyptians knew that feeding a patient liver would help cure night blindness, an illness now known to be caused by a vitamin A deficiency. The advancement of ocean voyage during the Renaissance resulted in prolonged periods without access to fresh fruits and vegetables, and made illnesses from vitamin deficiency common among ship's crew.
In 1749, the Scottish surgeon James Lind discovered that citrus foods helped prevent scurvy, a particularly deadly disease in which collagen is not properly formed, causing poor wound healing, bleeding of the gums, severe pain, and death. In 1753, Lind published his Treatise on the Scurvy, which recommended using lemons and limes to avoid scurvy, which was adopted by the British Royal Navy. This led to the nickname Limey for sailors of that organization. Lind's discovery, however, was not widely accepted by individuals in the Royal Navy's Arctic expeditions in the 19th century, where it was widely believed that scurvy could be prevented by practicing good hygiene, regular exercise, and by maintaining the morale of the crew while on board, rather than by a diet of fresh food. As a result, Arctic expeditions continued to be plagued by scurvy and other deficiency diseases. In the early 20th century, when Robert Falcon Scott made his two expeditions to the Antarctic, the prevailing medical theory was that scurvy was caused by "tainted" canned food.

In 1881, Russian surgeon Nikolai Lunin studied the effects of scurvy while at the University of Tartu in present-day Estonia. He fed mice an artificial mixture of all the separate constituents of milk known at that time, namely the proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and salts. The mice that received only the individual constituents died, while the mice fed by milk itself developed normally. He made a conclusion that "a natural food such as milk must therefore contain, besides these known principal ingredients, small quantities of unknown substances essential to life." However, his conclusions were rejected by other researchers when they were unable to reproduce his results. One difference was that he had used table sugar (sucrose), while other researchers had used milk sugar ( lactose) that still contained small amounts of vitamin B.
In the Orient where polished white rice was the common staple food of the middle class, beriberi resulting from lack of vitamin B was endemic. In 1884, Takaki Kanehiro, a British trained medical doctor of the Japanese Navy observed that beriberi was endemic among low ranking crew who often ate nothing but rice but not among crews of Western navies and officers who were entitled to a Western-style diet. Kanehiro initially believed that lack of protein was the chief cause of beriberi. With the support of Japanese navy, he experimented using crews of two battleships, one crew was fed only white rice, while the other was fed a diet of meat, fish, barley, rice, and beans. The group that ate only white rice documented 161 crew with beriberi and 25 deaths, while the latter group had only 14 cases of beriberi and no deaths. This convinced Kanehiro and the Japanese Navy that diet was the cause of beriberi. This was confirmed in 1897, when Christiaan Eijkman discovered that feeding unpolished rice instead of the polished variety to chickens helped to prevent beriberi in the chickens. The following year, Frederick Hopkins postulated that some foods contained "accessory factors"—in addition to proteins, carbohydrates, fats, et cetera—that were necessary for the functions of the human body. Hopkins was awarded the 1929 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Christiaan Eijkman for their discovery of several vitamins.
In 1910, Japanese scientist Umetaro Suzuki succeeded in extracting a water-soluble complex of micronutrients from rice bran and named it aberic acid. He published this discovery in a Japanese scientific journal. When the article was translated into German, the translation failed to state that it was a newly discovered nutrient, a claim made in the original Japanese article, and hence his discovery failed to gain publicity. Polish biochemist Kazimierz Funk isolated the same complex of micronutrients and proposed the complex be named "Vitamine" (a portmanteau of "vital amine") in 1912. The name soon became synonymous with Hopkins' "accessory factors", and by the time it was shown that not all vitamins were amines, the word was already ubiquitous. In 1920, Jack Cecil Drummond proposed that the final "e" be dropped to deemphasize the "amine" reference after the discovery that vitamin C had no amine component.
Throughout the early 1900s, the use of deprivation studies allowed scientists to isolate and identify a number of vitamins. Initially, lipid from fish oil was used to cure rickets in rats, and the fat-soluble nutrient was called "antirachitic A". The irony here is that the first "vitamin" bioactivity ever isolated, which cured rickets, was initially called "vitamin A", the bioactivity of which is now called vitamin D. What we now call "vitamin A" was identified in fish oil because it was inactivated by ultraviolet light. In 1931, Albert Szent-Györgyi and a fellow researcher Joseph Svirbely determined that "hexuronic acid" was actually vitamin C and noted its anti-scorbutic activity. In 1937, Szent-Györgyi was awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery. In 1943 Edward Adelbert Doisy and Henrik Dam were awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery of vitamin K and its chemical structure.
In humans
Vitamins are classified as either water-soluble, meaning that they dissolve easily in water, or fat-soluble vitamins, which are absorbed through the intestinal tract with the help of lipids (fats). In general, water-soluble vitamins are readily excreted from the body. Each vitamin is typically used in multiple reactions and, therefore, most have multiple functions.
In humans there are 13 vitamins: 4 fat-soluble (A, D, E and K) and 9 water-soluble (8 B vitamins and vitamin C).

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
Vitamins are essential for the normal growth and development of a multicellular organism. Using the genetic blueprint inherited from its parents, a fetus begins to develop, at the moment of conception, from the nutrients it absorbs. It requires certain vitamins and minerals to be present at certain times. These nutrients facilitate the chemical reactions that produce among other things, skin, bone, and muscle. If there is serious deficiency in one or more of these nutrients, a child may develop a deficiency disease. Even minor deficiencies may cause permanent damage.
For the most part, vitamins are obtained with food, but a few are obtained by other means. For example, microorganisms in the intestine—commonly known as " gut flora"—produce vitamin K and biotin, while one form of vitamin D is synthesized in the skin with the help of natural ultraviolet in sunlight. Humans can produce some vitamins from precursors they consume. Examples include vitamin A, produced from beta carotene, and niacin, from the amino acid tryptophan.
Once growth and development are completed, vitamins remain essential nutrients for the healthy maintenance of the cells, tissues, and organs that make up a multicellular organism; they also enable a multicellular life form to efficiently use chemical energy provided by food it eats, and to help process the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats required for respiration.
Deficiencies
Deficiencies of vitamins are classified as either primary or secondary. A primary deficiency occurs when an organism does not get enough of the vitamin in its food. A secondary deficiency may be due to an underlying disorder that prevents or limits the absorption or use of the vitamin, due to a "lifestyle factor", such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or the use of medications that interfere with the absorption or use of the vitamin. People who eat a varied diet are unlikely to develop a severe primary vitamin deficiency. In contrast, restrictive diets have the potential to cause prolonged vitamin deficits, which may result in often painful and potentially deadly diseases.
Because human bodies do not store most vitamins, humans must consume them regularly to avoid deficiency. Human bodily stores for different vitamins vary widely; vitamins A, D, and B12 are stored in significant amounts in the human body, mainly in the liver, and an adult human's diet may be deficient in vitamins A and B12 for many months before developing a deficiency condition. Vitamin B3 is not stored in the human body in significant amounts, so stores may only last a couple of weeks.
Well-known human vitamin deficiencies involve thiamine (beriberi), niacin (pellagra), vitamin C (scurvy) and vitamin D ( rickets). In much of the developed world, such deficiencies are rare; this is due to (1) an adequate supply of food; and (2) the addition of vitamins and minerals to common foods, often called fortification.
Some evidence also suggests that there is a link between vitamin deficiency and mental disorders.
Side effects and overdose
In large doses, some vitamins have documented side effects that tend to be more severe with a larger dosage. The likelihood of consuming too much of any vitamin from food is remote, but overdosing from vitamin supplementation does occur. At high enough dosages some vitamins cause side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting.
When side effects emerge, recovery is often accomplished by reducing the dosage. The concentrations of vitamins an individual can tolerate vary widely, and appear to be related to age and state of health. In the United States, overdose exposure to all formulations of vitamins was reported by 62,562 individuals in 2004 (nearly 80% of these exposures were in children under the age of 6), leading to 53 "major" life-threatening outcomes and 3 deaths—a small number in comparison to the 19,250 people who died of unintentional poisoning of all kinds in the U.S. in the same year (2004).
Dietary supplements, often containing vitamins, are used to ensure that adequate amounts of nutrients are obtained on a daily basis, if optimal amounts of the nutrients cannot be obtained through a varied diet. Scientific evidence supporting the benefits of some dietary supplements is well established for certain health conditions, but others need further study. A meta-analysis in 2006 suggested that Vitamin A and E supplements not only provide no tangible health benefits for generally healthy individuals, but may actually increase mortality, although two large studies included in the analysis involved smokers, for which it was already known that beta-carotene supplements can be harmful.
In the United States, advertising for dietary supplements is required to include a disclaimer that the product is not intended to treat, diagnose, mitigate, prevent, or cure disease, and that any health claims have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. In some cases, dietary supplements may have unwanted effects, especially if taken before surgery, with other dietary supplements or medicines, or if the person taking them has certain health conditions. Vitamin supplements may also contain levels of vitamins many times higher, and in different forms, than one may ingest through food.
Intake of excessive quantities can cause vitamin poisoning, often due to overdose of Vitamin A and Vitamin D (The most common poisoning with multinutrient supplement pills does not involve a vitamin, but is rather due to the mineral iron). Due to toxicity, most common vitamins have recommended upper daily intake amounts.
Since 2005, suppliers have distinguised their products as either Medical Grade or Pharmeceutical Grade products. Both of these classifications indicate products that are manufactured to be easily absorbed by the body. Normal vitamin manufacturing is not regulated in the United States to the same standards as are medicinal pharmaceuticals, although U.S. vitamins which are manufactured for food consumption by humans or animals must be manufactured to Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), grade, commonly called "food grade".
Governmental regulation of vitamin supplements
Most countries place dietary supplements in a special category under the general umbrella of foods, not drugs. This necessitates that the manufacturer, and not the government, be responsible for ensuring that its dietary supplement products are safe before they are marketed. Unlike drug products, that must explicitly be proven safe and effective for their intended use before marketing, there are often no provisions to "approve" dietary supplements for safety or effectiveness before they reach the consumer. Also unlike drug products, manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements are not generally required to report any claims of injuries or illnesses that may be related to the use of their products.
Names in current and previous nomenclatures
The reason the set of vitamins seems to skip directly from E to K is that the vitamins corresponding to "letters" F-J were either reclassified over time, discarded as false leads, or renamed because of their relationship to "vitamin B", which became a "complex" of vitamins. The German-speaking scientists who isolated and described vitamin K (in addition to naming it as such) did so because the vitamin is intimately involved in the Koagulation of blood following wounding. At the time, most (but not all) of the letters from F through J were already designated, so the use of the letter K was considered quite reasonable.
The following table lists chemicals that had previously been classified as vitamins, as well as the earlier names of vitamins that later became part of the B-complex:
Reason for name change
Vitamin B4 Adenine DNA metabolite
Vitamin B8 Adenylic acid DNA metabolite
Vitamin F Essential fatty acids Needed in large quantities (does
not fit the definition of a vitamin).
Vitamin G Riboflavin Reclassified as Vitamin B2
Vitamin H Biotin Reclassified as Vitamin B7
Vitamin J Catechol, Flavin Protein metabolite
Vitamin L1 Anthranilic acid Protein metabolite
Vitamin L2 Adenylthiomethylpentose RNA metabolite
Vitamin M Folic acid Reclassified as Vitamin B9
Vitamin O Carnitine Protein metabolite
Vitamin P Flavonoids No longer classified as a vitamin
Vitamin PP Niacin Reclassified as Vitamin B3
Vitamin U S-Methylmethionine Protein metabolite

S'pore Career Platform Glints Raises US$6.8M – Plans Vietnam, Hong Kong Expansion
Singapore career discovery platform Glints raised US$6.8 million in a Series B funding round, after impressing investors with their 6-time revenue growth in the past year.
The round was led by prominent Southeast Asia venture capital firm Monk's Hill Ventures.
It was also joined by returning investors Wavemaker Partners, Fresco Capital and 99.co founder Darius Cheung, along with new investors including Hong Kong-based fund, MindWorks.
With the new funds, they're planning for expansion to Vietnam and Hong Kong next.
Glints' previous Series A round was held in 2016, with S$2.7 million raised.
According to Tech in Asia, this latest funding round puts the company's valuation at about US$15.2 million.
Glints charges employers per successful hire scored through their online job listings, which are free to put up.
Heavily focused on young talents, they even have programmes under partnership with the various Polytechnics in Singapore to help students seek internships or full-time jobs upon graduation.
Besides connecting potential employees into the professional sector, they also differentiate themselves from typical job search portals by being a resource for career guidance and tips.

It's Official: Injection of Fracking Wastewater Caused Kansas' Biggest Earthquake
Oct. 14, 2016 10:45AM EST Popular
The largest earthquake ever recorded in Kansas—a 4.9 magnitude temblor that struck northeast of Milan on Nov. 12, 2014—has been officially linked to wastewater injection into deep underground wells, according to new research from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
The epicenter of that extremely rare earthquake struck near a known fracking operation.
The Wichita Eagle noted from the study that this man-made quake, which hit 40 miles southwest of Wichita and felt as far away as Memphis, likely came from just one or two nearby wells. The publication ominously noted that, "one of those two wells, operated by SandRidge Energy, is still injecting water at the same level as when the earthquake occurred two years ago."
The USGS scientists believe that the 4.9-magnitude earthquake was triggered by wastewater injection for the following reasons:
There had not previously been similar earthquakes in the area.
There were waste-water injection wells nearby.
The earthquake activity started after the amount of water injected in the wells increased.
There's a piece of earth that could be activated by changes in pressure.
Kansas has had a long history with fracking. In fact, the first well ever fracked in the United States happened in 1947 in the Sunflower state. The process is now used for nearly all of the 5,000 conventional wells drilled in Kansas every year.
But just like Oklahoma, Kansas is seeing an alarming uptick of "induced" earthquakes connected to the underground disposal of wastewater from the fracking process. Kansas is a region previously devoid of significant seismic activity, however, the number of earthquakes in the state jumped from only four in 2013 to 817 in 2014, The Washington Post reported.
According to an August report from The Wichita Eagle, Kansas has seen fewer and weaker earthquakes following the Kansas Corporation Commission's recommendations to reduce underground injection of oilfield wastewater.
Incidentally, the Milan quake and the record-breaking 5.8 earthquake that struck Pawnee, Oklahoma last month occurred on faults that scientists did not previously know existed.
"If the well is in the right place next to a fault and the fault is oriented the right way, a little change in stress could cause (an earthquake) to occur," USGS geologist George Choy, the study's lead author, told The Wichita Eagle.
The study will be published in Seismological Research Letters next month.
"The source parameters and behavior of the Milan earthquake and foreshock–aftershock sequence are similar to characteristics of other earthquakes induced by wastewater injection into permeable formations overlying crystalline basement," the study abstract states.
SandRidge Energy is the largest oil producer in Kansas and the largest disposer of wastewater in Oklahoma. In January, the Oklahoma-based company refused to abide by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission's recommendations to shut down or decrease wastewater injection in order to prevent more earthquakes. The company agreed to shut down wells and reduce wastewater volumes months later.

Tivat – Proclamation of all workers technological extras, Navy Technical repair bureau "Sava Kovacevic" in Tivat has officially stopped working after 18 years.
With today's taking over of the Arsenal by the new owner Adriatic marinas of the Canadian Peter Munk the activity from which this town used to live for more than a century are now history.
After 118 years the co-existence of Tivat and various militaries that is navies which came to Boka in the period from the end of XIX until the beginning of the XXI century came to an end.
With the beginning of the war in ex SFRJ and with the sanctions from which NTRB never recovered completely the end could be anticipated so the Government of Montenegro at the idea and the initiative of Peter Munk two years ago made a decision to turn Arsenal into a big marina for mega yachts and into an exclusive navigation tourist center. Final end came when 472 workers of Arsenal were formally left without a job, and today the complex of Tivat military shipbuilding yard is supposed to be taken over by its new owner – Adriatic marinas which will be using it in the next 90 years.

MM puts his jigsaw puzzle together.
Delighted with the loan signing of Sid Nelson and massive credit to Ishmael Miller who has supposedly agreed to forego his wages while out injured. If true this is pretty amazing!
Has scored. 130 goals in over 400 league games. A vastly experienced striker. Worth a punt for six months. As has been said here before, the player market is more limited than in June. Maybe that Cook type striker was nor available. I doubt Dagnll would have been signed if Miller had not been injured.
Yes, that's an amazing gesture by Miller to forego his wages whilst injured so as to free up budget. Not many would do that regardless of whether they can afford it.
There is nothing wrong with Hibs !
Mellon has said that Miller was the only 'physical' striker that we could reasonably recruit, which explains why we could not replace him at short notice. I think Dagnell has been brought in to bump up the numbers. We have only got two specialist strikers at the moment, which leaves us quite vulnerable.
I must admit, I don't really understand some of the negative comments about Dagnell. The Bury fans don't say he was poor for them, just that he was not on the same level as Maynard and co., and he has had a good career, particularly his time at Rochdale. I think Little was daft to release him first time around.
I think Dagnell has been brought in to bump up the numbers. We have only got two specialist strikers at the moment, which leaves us quite vulnerable.
Although a bit underwhelming, that's a fair point. I think in my mind I was expecting a Miller type player, big and strong to play that centre forward role. I think my memory of him wasn't great although I think he spent a lot of time on the bench coming on late in games so difficult to really get any momentum.
I agree RLC. Miller will be back next season so this is boosting the numbers until the end of the season. At least he is not a young unproven player. We have had a few of them and I think that more have disappointed rather than have excited us.
I'm not sure Dagnall offers a great deal different to our other two fit strikers. His workrate is likely to be less, mainly operating in and around the box and he doesn't have great pace or aerial presence. Koumas and particularly Hume tarnished their reputations when returning to Rovers late in their careers, although Chris wasn't at the club long enough to establish a reputation on a par with that pair.
AM refers to it in the Port Vale match thread, but where does this leave Mullin? Despite a reasonable strike rate for minutes on the pitch, Micky uses him very sparingly. Last weekend when the game had gone would have been a chance to get some match time, but he wasn't called upon. Will he even get a place on the bench now Dagnall has arrived? As one of the handful of players contracted for next season, it surprises me how little he's been used.
Probably not the type of striker we would prescribe, but still a third striker to chose from - would rather choose from 3 than 2 when taking into account form and fitness...also extra cover for any other absences. Defo worth a punt.
Appreciation for Millers talents has risen since his injury.
Good transfer window on the whole and would have been excellent if Miller hadn't got the injury (great gesture by the man by the way). Squad looking good and as per Boz I thought Mullin would get more minutes.
Is Mullin more of an impact player as he seems to drift if played from the start but has greater impact coming from the bench?
I would go along with that - Mullin certainly seemed to do well when coming on as the game opened up but has not been anywhere near as successful when starting IMO. Dagnall is to my mind a little underwhelming yes given he wasn't first choice at Bury and is short so we still do not have a target man but not altogether surprising given MM had done the hard part in bringing in Miller and has been scuppered by his injury.
People who may have been following my earlier posts in this thread may be surprised, but on balance I am pleased with our business in this window. We have lost the dead wood and strengthened nearly every area. The fact so many players arrived late probably means we didn't always get our first choice, but in the end we now have a bigger and better bunch of players. The new arrivals will lift the squad and make for more competition. I'm still not convinced we have what it takes to make the playoffs but we are in much better shape than a month ago. Better still, if we can hang onto some of the younger loanees, we will have something to build on next season.
I remember Chris scoring a consolation goal at Luton when I think John McMahon was in temporary charge. I hope Daggers gets a fairer crack of the whip from management and fans than he did last time. To let such a promising player go when still a teenager always rankled with me. He might have become a legend if he had stayed under a different manager. No wonder he wants to make amends this time round. I just hope he hasn't left it too late.
I agree about Dagnall BBTC. I got to a few more games in his early days when visiting my now deceased father who was a big Rovers fan. I thought he had the potential to have a really top career. He has done well but not as well as he might have done.
Window over......Nors stays... (for now).
Forget all the other ins and outs.
That's the one we wanted.
In fairness to Dagnall, he had a better career than a lot of the strikers we had after his departure. I still think we should have been more patient with him.
I am not sure that is entirely fair. How many games has he actually started ? Not too many. At Morecambe he played the full ninety minutes and was outstanding, and he was good against Exeter and Crawley as well.
I think the real issue is that he is not a natural partner for Norwood, so Mellon has always preferred to play Nors plus A.N.Other.
Interesting goings on at Wrexham where Tollit and Stockton are.

Corporate Japan pursues to step up women's growth drive
Katherine Yearwood
Recently, Japan introduced a bill aimed at securing more women into their corporate world. Despite the new bill, many say it will likely still be difficult for women to flourish in the workplace due to the country's social structure and defined gender roles.
Director of Suffolk University's Rosenberg Institute of East Asian Studies and History Professor Ronald Suleski described in an interview with The Journal Japan's polar spectrums and has little faith in the system.
"There are two environments in Japan. One is what the law says and the other is the reality," said Suleski.
While there are laws that are aimed at promoting gender equality among Japanese citizens, these laws are not always completely effective or enforced, according to Suleski. He said that women may get the job, but will be assigned duties that are less than a man's opportunities, which give them less of a chance to be promoted.
Suleski explained the traditional work that women would have in an office would sometimes be preparing refreshments and tea for the male guests that would be visiting the office to meet with the male supervisors.
Within the past 20 to 30 years, Japan has enacted a number of laws all aimed at empowering women in the workplace. However, it has been reported that these laws are not enforced.
"If you look at the law, the law paints a very different picture," said Suleski. "It paints a picture of giving women more opportunity for advancement to be treated in a more proper way equal to men, but the law is in the books but it's often not followed."
In Japan there are different factors at play as to why women generally have yet to be viewed as equals to their male counterparts. Suffolk University Communications and Journalism Professor Bruce Wickelgren believes the country is paternalistic.
"It follows a masculine way of understanding, it believes that the man is the breadwinner and that a woman's job is to serve men. Obviously Japan is not alone in this," said Wickelgren. "We have that in the United States, but we like to pretend that it's not as strong as it is in Japan, and perhaps to a certain extent it's not, but it is similar across both cultures."
The economy in Japan has made it harder for many people to get by and this can have even harsher effects on women over a certain age range.
"Japan I think is a very conservative society," said Suleski.
He explained that Japanese companies will advertise that they are looking for a female secretary, but has to be between 25 to 30 years old.
"If you're over 30, don't apply. They say it very clearly," said Suleski.
Japan's culture largely circles around tradition and when it's not followed, that can bring about tension and conflict.
"There's a traditional role of the Japanese woman," said Suleski. "She's quiet, she's polite, she serves her husband, her children, her family, and that makes the country strong."
This traditional role may affect many women in Japan when it comes to how they perceive themselves and how they should operate in society.
"There needs to be a representation of a greater thing before real change can take place and a matter of fact most of the time it can be generations before those kind of change actually happen," said Wickelgren.
While many of the older women have accepted the customary role of women and some may even like this, there are many young women who want gender equality and less restrictive roles imposed on them.
"I don't think that anything can lead to gender equality," said Wickelgren. "I don't think that the concept of equality is something that is possible. I think that there are ways that a culture can create better access to more things. A law is only as good as the people who are willing to pay attention to it, but is it a start? I believe that we have to start somewhere in a culture."

It's All About Nepo Now (Candidates, Round 6)
It was a good news, bad news kind of day for Ian Nepomniachtchi and for chess fans everywhere. On one hand, he won his second straight game and put more distance between himself and his pursuers. He beat Ding Liren in a very solid Ruy Lopez where Ding's position just spiraled downhill. This gives Nepo a very impressive full-point lead, with 4.5 points in 6 games, while Maxime Vachier-Lagrave at 3.5 points is the only other player with a positive score. His lead is 1.5 points over the presumably most dangerous competition, Fabiano Caruana and Alexander Grischuk. Both of them are at 3 points, and Grischuk has yet to win a game.
What could possibly go wrong for Nepomniachtchi? Well, at the press conference after the round he was coughing and he said that he didn't feel well. If that doesn't make everyone say "Uh-oh…" I don't know what will. Of course, we all know that a cough doesn't necessarily mean you have the coronavirus. But in the current situation, everybody's thoughts go to the worst-case scenario.
We have already had one player withdraw, before the tournament, because of coronavirus concerns (Teimour Radjabov). Vladimir Kramnik, a former world champion, said that the tournament should not be held. I believe that Grischuk said the same thing, although he's still playing. I think that the chorus will only get louder. And if Nepo actually has the coronavirus (something we might not know for a couple days) I don't see any way that the tournament will continue. But not only that, it would be an incredible disaster because it would mean that 8 of the top players in the world had all been exposed.
There will surely be lots of second-guessing, no matter what happens. To me, something that has to be looked at is FIDE's claim, before the tournament, that their hands were tied; that it was the organizing country that would decide whether the tournament proceeded, and FIDE had no legal authority to intervene. Oh, really? So FIDE had no authority to intervene when they suspended the first Karpov-Kasparov world championship match "out of concern for the health of the players"? Why was there no such concern this year?
It's quite possible that today's games were the last we will see in this tournament. Out of respect for the tournament leader (?) or winner (?), let's take a look at an amazing position from his game today with Ding.
Position after 30. R1b1. Black to move.
FEN: rr4k1/3q1pp1/1P6/3p2b1/3p4/1Q1P2Pp/1R2NP1P/1R5K b – – 0 30
Here Black's next two moves combined are a mistake. According to Fritz, either now or on the next move, Black has to find a deeply hidden plan: 30. … Qf5! 31. Nxd4? Qg4!
This is the kind of two-step that computers are very good at finding and humans (at least, the human writing this post) are very bad at. If … Qg4 is the move that Black wanted to play, why not do it in one move? The reason is that he wanted to sucker White into taking on d4 first. After that happens, the knight on d4 is exposed and it can't move because Black would mate with … Qf3+. Fritz gives the following absolutely sick variation that you have to play through to believe. Both players sacrifice their queens and the position ends up in a drawn endgame:
30. … Qf5! 31. Nxd4? Qg4! 32. b7 Ra7 33. Qd5 (seemingly holding everything together, but watch out for those back-rank mates!) Bf6 34. Rb4 Bxd4 35. Rxd4 (This seemingly wins, but now things get seriously crazy.) 35. … Raxb7!! (Queen sac number one) 36. Rg1 Rb1!! (Queen sac number two) 37. Qd8+! (Queen sac number three) Rxd8 38. Rxg4 Rxg1+ 39. Kxg1 Rxd3 with a dead draw.
So after 30. … Qf5 31. Nxd4? is a mistake and White has to play 31. Ng1 instead. In that case White is still better but Black has a playable game, for example after 31. … Bf6 (with ideas of … g5 and … g4) 32. b7 Ra7 33. Qc2 Qd7. Note that 34. Qb3 would not be so good after 34. … Raxb7. Instead the computer finds 34. Nxh3! with tricky play. But on the whole, Black has to be happy with giving up the h-pawn to eliminate White's b-pawn.
Okay, now let's go all the way back to the initial position and see what happened.
30. … Bd8?!
This isn't the losing move yet, but it's clear that Ding has not seen the computer-like two-step of … Qf5 and … Qg4. There's another little problem with this move that Ding might not have been sufficiently aware of: it leaves the square e8 open for White's queen.
31. Qb5 Qg4?
This is Ding's last chance for the two-step with 31. … Qf5, after which Fritz still thinks Black has a playable game. If 31. … Qxb5 32. Rxb5 Rb7 33. Ng1 Rab8 34. Rxd5 Black can't take the b-pawn! White wins on both 34. … Bxb6 Rdb5 and 34. … Rxb6 35. Rxd8+!! (the Hook and Ladder Trick!).
32. Qxd5 Ra5!
Position after 32. … Ra5. White to move.
FEN: 1r1b2k1/5pp1/1P6/r7/2Qp2q1/3P2Pp/1R2NP1P/1R5K b – – 0 33
A desperado rook! White can't take because of … Qf3+ followed by mate. Did Nepo miss this? No, he's seen deeper than Ding did. Remember that e8 square?
33. Qc6 Rc5
The desperado strikes again. You have to admire Ding's concept. If White had to settle for 34. Qe4 Qxe4 35. de d3, Black would be in business. Unfortunately for Black, there is a fatal flaw: White has another option, after which he is clearly winning.
34. Qe8+! Kh7 35. Ng1 …
This knight is an excellent defender, both of the f3 square and of the back rank.
35. … Rxb6
Ding tries a tactical solution, but it doesn't work.
36. Qxd8 Rxb2 37. Rxb2 Rc1 38. Qh4+ Qxh4 39. gh …
White has the world's most awful pawn structure, but the key is that he's up a piece and that's what matters.
39. … Rd1 40. f3! Black resigns
A cute final move, whose point I did not quite get at first. The point is that the instant Black captures on d3, White's knight will capture on h3. The move f3 creates a before-the-fact interference so that the rook on d3 will not protect the pawn on h3.
A great example of Nepomniachtchi's play so far this tournament: opportunistic and tactically right on point.
In today's other games, Anish Giri finally won his first game ever in a Candidates Tournament, after 14 straight draws in 2016 and a loss and 4 draws this year. He squeezed out a 98-move victory against Kirill Alekseenko, winning a knight and pawn endgame that seemed as if it should have been a draw. Great tenacity and great patience by Giri! The other two games, Grischuk-Caruana and Wang-Vachier-Lagrave were both drawn. The standings after six rounds are as follows:
1-1. Ian Nepomniachtchi, 4.5-1.5.
2-2. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, 3.5-2.5.
3-6. Fabiano Caruana, Alexander Grischuk, Anish Giri, Wang Hao, 3-3.
7-8. Ding Liren, Kirill Alekseenko, 2-4.

David McAtee led Manchester in the quarter with 8 points. Koehl Fluke chipped in 6.
The Squires would build their lead by one in the low scoring third, winning the quarter 8-7 to lead 36-27 with a quarter to go before a fourth quarter Triton rally tied the score at at 41 at the end of regulation. The two teams would play to a 5-5 tie in the first quarter before the Squires won the second 7-5 for the 53-51 final.
Leading Manchester was Chainey Zolman with 16 points. David McAtee added 14, Koehl Fluke 9, Braydon Sewell 7, Branden Scott 3, Chase Fierstos 2, Cameron Brandenburg 2.

Home News leeds united and wolverhampton wanderers vying to sign rob dickie
Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers vying to sign Rob Dickie
Sri Aswin
Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers are planning late bids to sign Queens Park Rangers defender Rob Dickie, Football Insider reports.
Dickie only joined the Hoops from Oxford United last summer, but he made a huge impression in his debut campaign to sweep the end of season awards.
He still has three years left on his contract with the west London outfit, but the club are braced for late offers from Leeds and Wolves for his signature.
Sportslens view:
Dickie excelled in his maiden campaign for the Hoops last season with four clearances and 4.9 aerial duels per league game.
He has continued the new season in the same vein of form. The centre-back has also netted in the first two matches.
Leeds had a terrific end to the previous campaign, with Diego Llorente playing a pivotal role at the heart of their backline.
However, the Spaniard has suffered numerous injuries at the club, and he is currently out of action with a fresh leg issue.
Liam Cooper and Pascal Struijk were paired against Manchester United, but they were completely torn apart in a 5-1 loss.
Marcelo Bielsa may be eyeing more competition for places, which could pave the way for a late raid for Dickie.
Wolves have more options, but they are missing the services of Willy Boly and Yerson Mosquera with hamstring injuries.
The Hoops will have high hopes of promotion after a positive end to the previous campaign that saw them finish ninth.
Dickie has emerged as a key player for them, and it is unlikely that he will be prised away cheaply if they decide to sell him.

Really, though, there is no explanation for what drew the men together, conversing over a lifetime in heavily accented French. "The communion that existed between Calder and Miró was mystical," says Joan Punyet Miró, the artist's grandson.
To reunite all 23 of the Miró "Constellations" — a series of small paintings on paper, begun in 1939 in Normandy and completed in 1941 — would be a particularly dazzling coup. They have been exhibited together as a complete set only once, almost 25 years ago, in the Miró retrospective of 1993 at the Museum of Modern Art.
