It was recently reported that some airlines will no longer give out complimentary blankets and pillows. If you do happen to find one, it probably has been used by a lot of other people. And may not be that sanitary.
If you travel on airlines, why not come prepared? You can carry your own pillow and blanket. The Cabin Cuddler is a hygienic and comfortable travel blanket for your own personal use.
If you've ever been on an airplane then you know how cold it can be sometimes. The airplane will usually have the air conditioning on, and often passengers are dressed lightly. If it's hot out or your traveling to a destination that is hot, you might be wearing summer clothes. But as soon as you get going on the plane, you realize you're cold! This blanket could really come in handy in those situations.
Some other uses for the Cabin Cuddler is if your plane has a delay of any kind. You could be stuck at the airport for awhile. You might want to rest while waiting, and a blanket and pillow would be nice to have. Another use for the Cabin Cuddler is at your desk at work. If you work where they keep the air conditioning on high, and you're cold then it would be great to have a blanket to keep at your desk.
So if you're planning on traveling or get cold at work then buy a Cabin Cuddler, and don't be left out in the cold!

Judas Tadeo Piñango (Caracas, Venezuela, 27 de octubre, 1789 - Coro, estado Falcón, Venezuela, 6 de abril, 1848) fue un importante oficial del ejército venezolano durante la Guerra de Independencia.

Biografía

Hijo de Juan Bacilio Piñango y de María Josefa Flores, pardos libres, nació en Caracas el 27 de octubre de 1789. Se incorporó al servicio de la causa de la emancipación después de los hechos del 19 de abril de 1810. En 1811 fue ascendido por el Poder Ejecutivo a subteniente de artillería. En 1812, perdida la Primera República, emigró a Curazao y desde allí se dirigió a Cartagena de Indias, Nueva Granada,  donde llegó en noviembre y se unió a las tropas de Simón Bolívar. Tomó parte en las acciones del Bajo Magdalena entre diciembre de 1812 y enero de 1813. Participó con Bolívar en la Campaña Admirable y tomó parte en la batalla de Taguanes, estado Cojedes, el 31 de julio de 1813. Entró en Caracas en el mes de agosto, después de haber sido ésta abandonada por el gobernador Manuel Fierro. El 30 de septiembre fue de los vencedores en la batalla de Bárbula, estado Carabobo, el 3 de octubre, en Las Trincheras (estado Carabobo) y el 5 de diciembre en Araure (estado Portuguesa). En 1814 tomó parte en las batallas de La Puerta, La Victoria, San Mateo y en la primera batalla de Carabobo.

Tras la pérdida de la Segunda República en 1814, huyó a la Nueva Granada, donde participaría en la toma de Bogotá y la defensa de Cartagena de Indias. Dos años después, luego de intervenir en la expedición de Los Cayos en Haití, combatió en las acciones de Quebrada Honda, El Alacrán y El Juncal. Comandante de Artillería en 1817, fue miembro del Consejo de Guerra que juzgó al general Manuel Piar. Luchó en la Campaña del Centro (1818) y en la segunda batalla de Carabobo (24 de junio de 1821). Prisionero del general realista Francisco Tomás Morales durante la batalla de Dabajuro, estado Falcón, 7 de junio de 1822, y encarcelado en el Castillo de Puerto Cabello, fue rescatado por el general José Antonio Páez. Gobernador militar de Mérida entre 1826 y 1830, en esa época fue enviado por Bolívar a Mérida con amplios poderes, a fin de contener el régimen de la insurrección de La Cosiata que venía produciéndose en el país y que tenía por objeto separar a Venezuela de la Gran Colombia.

Sin embargo, Judas Tadeo Piñango era en realidad un rotundo separatista y durante su accionar como gobernador de Mérida fue un actor prominente en pro de la disolución de la gran Colombia. Continuó participando activamente en los asuntos públicos del país hasta el día de su muerte, siendo  herido y hecho prisionero el 5 de abril de 1848 en la batalla de Taratara, estado Facón, en la que participó junto a Páez, murió al día siguiente.

This is chapter three in an ongoing series of commentary from legendary drummer Mike Clark. His storied observations continue to provide a keen insight into 'all things music'.
"OK… So the snares broke on 'God Make Me Funky' and I continued to play it on Tom. The engineer Fred Catero takes a brass wastebasket, puts a mike in it and puts the now fixed snare on top of the basket. He then plays the track to the snare which makes a sound at each backbeat, but leaving out all the ghost notes. I hated that sound, and without the ghost notes the beat sounded pedestrian to my ears…Like anyone could have played it. Now it's one of the most sampled drum loops ever. They dug it, and some drummers say Hey, Man - I worked hard to get my snare to sound like yours!"
This is exactly what I used to get all the time on the West Coast.
Just because you're good at 'Big Time' doesn't mean you're any good at 'Small Time'."
"I was checking out James Brown in the sixties and those snare drums used to 'CRACK' Down South Style, no monitors and a little sound system, but it was Poppin'...Then I listened to some later stuff with all the modern sounds and the snares sounded kind of Ploddy and sort of on Tom Tom... Having been trained in the South and Texas, I prefer it Snappin'. I did a lot of soul shows back in the day…I could hear everything and it was easy to groove - But now, with the sound real loud and in someone else's hands - not the musicians… I can never trust how things will go."
"I usually get it on the first take...Not because I'm so good, but I'm honest on that take and it's hitting me on the real. If I have to do more, I tend to try to improve things and it just doesn't work. James Brown used to say "the first take is God, and the second is man". I think that's how I feel. If it's my record, I don't care about the mistakes, only how it feels…Unless it's a train wreck. When I'm playing I get to feeling pretty good on the first take as my brain chemicals are lighting up like when I first heard Jazz or Blues. So I'm having a blast and its not mental... Hence, I like first takes. Everyone is different!"
"Indulge me, I'm not trying to be slanderous....I like Buddy Rich, but need some expertise… Did he or did he not take skbob boppa, doodle abba, skeedlie deedlie, etc. to a genius degree?"


Geryon is a Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought of the Minotaurs Chapter.
Geryon was a Veteran Sergeant at the time of the Lamptan Assault, in which he was gravely injured and taken to the Emperor's Grace.
Interred in a Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought, Geryon took part in the assault on the Necron Tomb Ship Dead Hand in the Amarah Void Battle. Teleporting aboard alongside Lord Moloc, another Contemptor, and thirty Terminators, his Power Fist was destroyed when it was parried by the blade of the Overlord. Severely wounded by the Overlord, Geryon's life was saved when Lord Moloc intervened before the final blow was dealt. It is unknown if Geryon was swept into the void with Moloc before the tomb ship retreated, and if so if he was recovered alive.

Geryon is a giant in Greek mythology.

Plot hole: This is another movie where the cops are too dumb to go out by themselves. The woman who icepicks the first victim (we see) to death would have left enough forensic evidence on the scene to convict her ten times over - skin, hair, sweat, saliva, vaginal fluid, possibly blood, and they all contain DNA in abundance. She had vigorous, sweaty sex with this man and she didn't clean up afterwards (and she couldn't have done so thoroughly enough anyway) so she's left calling cards all over the place. The killer also handled the icepick (which the police take away in an evidence bag) with bare hands - her prints would be all over it. She might as well have left a signed confession, but they can't even identify her. Sharon Stone, for instance, leaves her fingerprints (on the chair and fixtures in the police station) and her saliva (containing epithelial skin cells which are an excellent source of DNA) on the cigarette butt she discards, also in the police station. She went there of her own accord and these artifacts are legally accessible by the police. It is obvious to anyone that the women who had sex with the victim killed him, and Catherine is most certainly a suspect. They don't have enough to charge her but they would if they did a simple series of tests on the dead man's body - and if she didn't do it, that would eliminate her as a suspect. They don't even check.

Question: Why did Catherine target Nick? I know he's a big douchebag, but that can't be the only reason right? Was it to get revenge against Beth for once and all for leaving her?
Answer: Because she's insane? And very ill. And dangerous. A pure bred psychopath. She got off screwing with him, his head. She has a degree in effing with you. Beth was just a bonus. Unlucky. Collateral damage. Unfortunate. Catherine was, is a clinical psychopath. She had no reason. Or it was fun for her. She was one twisted broad. An evil dame. (IMHO).

The Jackdaw – Do you feel patronised?
Crossing the centre of Manchester recently heading for the match, an old friend asked me to step inside a handsome Victorian mill considered the Medici Palace of Cottonopolis. He'd worked on the conversion of this pile years before and hadn't forgotten the impression a particular bronze made on him as he entered the building each morning. Although he admits to knowing nothing about art no one needed to tell him this statue was remarkable. He could see it and feel it for himself. It had left its mark.
Between the grand arched entrance, so typical of quattrocento Florentine palazzi, and the high lobby are matching shrines hidden from the street. On the right is the domineering silhouette of a figure instantly recognisable to fans like myself as Charles Sargeant Jagger's The Sentry. This was a most pleasant surprise. There's no mistaking the gravity of an encounter with Jagger's work, recognition is immediate, the signature unique. His pieces celebrate the staunch resolve and dignity of ordinary blokes. I tried to locate this piece decades ago but never managed to see it, the building having for years been boarded up. Surviving calls from rapacious developers for its demolition, the 1856 edifice eventually reopened in 1982 as the Britannia Hotel, since when its ground floor bars and cafés have become popular night haunts.
In the matching chapel opposite the imposing figure are inscribed in granite the names of 87 employees of S and J Watts, the wholesale haberdashers for whom the mill had originally been built, who had been killed in the Great War. Erected in 1921 the sculpture was among Jagger's first commissions following the delayed start to his career caused by his own exemplary military service.
Though undeniably impressive few of those entering the complex will notice the sculpture. They are probably too eager to avail themselves of, among other thrills awaiting, a 'Happy Hour' offer of two pizzas and two pints for fifteen quid, the advertising board for which stands a few feet from Jagger's plinth.
Eight years ago the bayonet was hacked off in a drunken prank and has never been replaced despite this being an important detail of a Grade II* listed work. To check on the original appearance including bayonet (the maquette is inset opposite), there are reduced versions in Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery, at Eltham Palace in south-east London (Stephen Courtauld, who lived there, was a fellow officer with Jagger in the Royal Worcesters and, coincidentally, it was his family's textile firm which eventually bought the Watts building), and in the museum at Rotherham where Jagger was born, the son of a colliery manager.
Exactly 100 years ago, Jagger (1886-1938), who had on declaration of war instantly volunteered with the Artists Rifles, arrived back in England from Gallipoli via a Malta hospital having been shot through the shoulder, a potentially disastrous injury for a carver and modeller. But Charles recovered quickly and was re-posted to the Western Front where, in April 1918 during the German Spring offensive, he was sniped through the chest two inches above his heart. Astonishingly, he survived and was awarded an MC for conspicuous bravery. This wound undoubtedly contributed to a cruelly early death due to heart failure accelerated by overwork.
When the war ended he took up the Rome Scholarship won before the outbreak when graduating from the RCA. Recommended by George Frampton, he was soon making war memorials, a job for which, given his experiences, no one could have been better qualified. Jagger famously said: "I got to love the Tommy in the Trenches and I've tried to show him as I knew him – not as he looked on parade at home." The caped sentry's legs are protectively swaddled in sack cloth against the cold and wet, an informal addition to uniform permitted during frontline duty.
Meanwhile, Roger Fry, who was always proud to know better than anyone else and who had already established himself as chief standard bearer for the avant garde, wrote of Jagger's figure: "Nothing approaches the commonness, the effective, brutal, catch-penny vulgarity of his work".
Fry and his fixer followers won the subsequent taste war hands down. Jagger, Ledward, Frampton were forgotten, their works neglected, even wantonly ruined in the case of Jagger's Unilever carvings. Understanding how the Establishment operated Fry was the first of a breed – today totally victorious – whose addiction to artistic novelty, whatever character it takes, is all and absolute. He was the first to proclaim loudly his low opinion of everything traditional, a view which eventually became so uncritically accepted as to become a basic qualification for anyone seeking preferment in the visual arts – Fry is the Vito Corleone of State Art. Those who refused to follow where Fry, Clark, Keynes and Co. led were dismissed as so many reactionary simpletons. To be an apostle of the avant garde was to be right – no argument. Thus, Fry's heirs have learnt over decades of ascendancy to assume a patronising aesthetic and intellectual superiority over the rest of us. They treat us like blind children who are too thick to learn the big secret to which they themselves, alone, exclusively, enjoy special privileged access and insight.
All I would ask is that you look for yourselves and are not cowed by those claiming to know best. Because they don't. Perhaps Manchester's Jagger really is vulgar, meritless and pedestrian. And perhaps Ryan Gander's reflective bollards are, truly, "a world masterpiece". What do you think?
Leaving Jagger behind, as chance would have it our route to the ground took us past Gander's chromium cruet. (It was a very cultural evening.) "What do you make of that?", I enquired casually. "What's it for?", my friend asked.

Prime Minister Boris
Newington's Public Affairs MD Chris White looks at the first tasks for Boris Johnson's premiership.
When Boris Johnson returns from being asked to form a Government at the Palace tomorrow, a number of challenges will await him.
Appointing his Cabinet and Ministerial team
The first job will be appointing his Cabinet and junior ministers. A considerable amount of work has already been done by the campaign team led by Eddie Lister, Johnson's Chief of Staff at City Hall (who will be taking the same role in Downing Street) and Mark Spencer MP, a respected backroom operator who will be his Chief Whip.
Everyone who accepts a post in the Johnson administration will need to sign up to the idea that the UK could be leaving the EU without a deal at the end of October, a sharp departure from the views of some who served in May's Cabinet.
Already there have been a slew of pre-emptive resignations, where Ministers under May have jumped before they are pushed. More will follow tomorrow – so that by the time Boris is handing out jobs, high profile departures will have included the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, Justice Secretary David Gauke, International Development Secretary Rory Stewart, and Business Secretary Greg Clark. Today, junior ministers Margot James (DCMS), Alan Duncan (FCO) and Anne Milton (Education) have also resigned, and others are expected to resign in the next 24 hours. This will make it harder to bring the party together, and Johnson will understand the need to try to have a balance of talent from across all wings of the party.
Key questions remain about what happens to leadership finalist Jeremy Hunt, who irked the Johnson campaign over the last few weeks with his deeply personal accusations of cowardice for failing to debate him ahead of the ballot papers being delivered to members. With a two to one margin of victory, it has been argued that Hunt may be sacked or demoted from his position as Foreign Secretary, but to do so would be an interesting first move. Keeping Hunt as Foreign Secretary would be a sign of stability.
Other leadership rivals are likely to be treated kindly. Michael Gove appears to have had an olive branch extended, so expect to see him promoted from Defra to a more prominent Cabinet role. There are several contenders vying for the position of Chancellor but Sajid Javid appears to be the frontrunner at this stage, with Matt Hancock or Liz Truss an outside bet, though it seems more likely that Truss could become Business Secretary.
Getting the right team in place in No 10
We already know the identity of several of the team who will accompany Boris and Eddie Lister into Number 10. Ben Gascoigne, a former aide in City Hall and the FCO, will be one of three deputy chiefs of staff, alongside Liam Booth-Smith (a Special Adviser at MHCLG) and James Wild, currently a Special Adviser at the Cabinet Office. Lee Cain will become Director of Communications and Munira Mirza, a former deputy mayor, will run the Number 10 Policy Unit.
Former Vote Leave director James Starkie will be heading into Number 10 in a political role, whilst Theresa May's former Director of Legislative Affairs, Nikki da Costa, will be returning to Downing Street after resigning over the Brexit deal last year. The remaining appointments will be made swiftly to ensure that the team is in place and ready to hit the ground running. With only 100 days before the end of October, there is no time for delay.
Establish a plan for Brexit
Indeed with so little time before Brexit day, the first thing on the agenda will be devising a workable plan for Brexit. Even as recently as last weekend, several plans were doing the rounds. Some want to revive the existing deal, and find a way to ensure that the UK is not trapped in the backstop indefinitely, but Boris appeared to rule out a time limit on the backstop in one of the recent hustings.
A second plan revolves around a standstill transition, while the UK negotiates a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the EU, though such FTAs take years to negotiate. It is far from certain that the EU would agree to such a plan, even if some agreement could be reached on who would arbitrate any disputes – the EU is adamant that the European Court of Justice would need to be the arbitrating body, but this would be a red rag to the ERG wing of the Conservative Party.
Boris has been clear that "do or die", the UK will leave the EU on 31st October. And indeed if no changes to the deal can be achieved in his expected summer tour of European capitals, then a significant amount of work will need to be done to get the UK ready for a no-deal exit. For example, the Freight Transport Association revealed over the weekend that contingency measures and agreements implemented ahead of the previous March deadline risk expiring before 31st October.
Equally, several pieces of legislation which the May administration claimed were necessary for the UK to exit the EU on no-deal terms, such as the Agriculture Bill, Trade Bill and Fisheries Bill, have all been in a logjam in Parliament, with officials and Ministers refusing to progress to the next stage of scrutiny for fear of hostile amendments. The Trade Bill had an amendment on a Customs Union inserted in the Lords and hasn't been seen since March, whilst the Agriculture and Fisheries Bills haven't progressed since November 2018.
Showcase that the new Government has a domestic plan in place for Government
The Johnson team are acutely aware that an election could happen at any moment, so they have been planning a slew of policies and packages to announce virtually from day one. This 'proof of life' of the new Government will be critical to breathe new oxygen into the Conservative brand should an election occur.
It is anticipated that a Budget will be held in September, ahead of 31st October, using the fiscal headroom from decreased borrowing and improved tax receipts to spread cheer ahead of any election. We saw an early version of these promises in the leadership campaign, with a pledge to cut income tax for higher earners.
In today's victory speech, Johnson referenced his priorities of "better education, better infrastructure, more police, and fantastic full-fibre broadband sprouting in every household."
Johnson will also have to re-negotiate the confidence and supply arrangement with the DUP, who are crucial to the tiny Government majority of just two, or possibly one if the Government loses the Brecon and Radnorshire election. The DUP said today that "Agreement included a review between each Parliamentary session. This will take place over the coming weeks and will explore the policy priorities of both parties".

This moth does best in warm climates, and while it is present year-round in the southern U.S. it does not appear to survive winters in the northern regions, migrating northward during the spring and summer only. The final larva instar buries itself in the soil to pupate and in warm weather adult moths will emerge within 1 to 2 weeks. They mate and the female begins laying eggs within a few days, depositing the eggs in small clusters of up to 16 eggs, gluing them in rows on foliage. A single female is capable of producing hundreds of eggs. In summer months the larva completes development in about 3 weeks, and in cooler months may require 4 weeks or longer. There will be 2-3 generations each year in cool regions and up to 6 generations in southern states. The preferred foods of the larvae will be grasses, including turf and grains – sugar cane, wheat, barley, oats, weed grasses, rice, rye, and many turf varieties. However, they also will feed on a great variety of broadleaf plants including many agricultural crops and ornamental plants.
The adult moth has a wing span of about 4 cm, with the forewings elongate and pointed at the tips. The FW is tan to reddish-brown with some of the veins highlighted with white scales. The hind wing is a grayish brown. The full grown larva will be about 35 mm long with a dark grayish-green body color and with dark stripes running along the top and each side of the body. Below and between the dark stripes on the sides there will be a lighter stripe and the head capsule is a yellowish-brown color with darker veining.
Elimination of weed grasses will help to minimize the presence of these moths around landscapes, and tillage of the soil can discourage them and expose the larvae and pupae to predators. Residual insecticides are effective when applied to the plants that the larvae are feeding on.

Going beyond the zero
"But it is a curve each of them feels, unmistakably. It is the parabola. They must have guessed, once or twice—guessed and refused to believe—that everything, always, collectively, had been moving toward that purified shape latent in the sky, that shape of no surprise, no second chances, no return. Yet they do move forever under it, reserved for its own black-and-white bad news certainly as if it were the Rainbow, and they its children…."
Reader, I read it. It isn't an admission of great achievement to announce that you've reached the last page of a novel after a handful of stalled attempts, but when it's taken me 36 years to reach this point it feels worthy of note; and besides which, Gravity's Rainbow isn't an ordinary novel. Umberto Eco is partly responsible for my return to Pynchon. I'd just finished The Name of the Rose, a book I'd avoided for years even while reading (and enjoying) a couple of Eco's other novels, and was wondering what to read next. Maybe it was time to try the Rocket book again? The thick white spine of the Picador edition—760 pages in 10pt type—would accuse me every time I spotted it on the shelf: "Still haven't made it to page 100, have you?" For many people this happens with novels because a book is "difficult" (which I didn't think it was), or boring (which it isn't at all), or simply too long (page count doesn't put me off). Back in 1985 I was looking for more heavyweight fare after reading Ulysses, something I've now done several times, so I wasn't going to be intimidated by a novel which is misleadingly compared to Ulysses on its back cover. If anything the comparison was an enticing one. Pynchon at the time exerted a gravitational pull (so to speak) for being very mysterious, although this was a decade when most living authors, especially foreign ones, were mysterious to a greater degree than they are today, when so many have their own websites and social media profiles. Pynchon's works were also referred to in interesting places, unlike his less mysterious contemporaries. I may be misremembering but I seem to recall a mention of the W.A.S.T.E. enigma from The Crying of Lot 49 in Robert Shea & Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus!; if it is there then it's no surprise that a writer so preoccupied with conspiracy and paranoia would find favour with the authors of the ultimate conspiracy novel. (And that's not all. I'm surprised now by the amount of coincidental correspondence between Illuminatus! and Gravity's Rainbow. Both novels were being written at the same time, the late 1960s, yet both refer to the Illuminati, the eye in the pyramid on the dollar bill, Nazi occultism, and the death of John Dillinger. Both novels also acknowledge the precedent of Ishmael Reed's Mumbo Jumbo, another remarkable conflation of conspiracy, secret history, and wild invention.)
Pynchon had other connections to the kind of fiction I was already interested in. One of his early short stories, Entropy, had been published in New Worlds magazine in 1969, although editor Michael Moorcock later claimed to have avoided reading any of the novels until much later. And, Pynchon, like Shea & Wilson (and Moorcock…), made pop-culture waves. I think it was Laurie Anderson who put Gravity's Rainbow in the centre of my radar when she released Mister Heartbreak, an album whose third song, Gravity's Angel, refers to the novel and is dedicated to its author. As for the novel itself, in the mid-1980s this was still Pynchon's major work, the one that fully established his reputation. Nothing new had appeared since its publication in 1973; Vineland, and the subsequent acceleration of the authorial production line, was six years away. The final lure was the refusal of the Picador edition to communicate very much of its contents: what was this thick volume actually about? The back cover is filled with praise but doesn't tell you anything about the novel at all, while the cover illustration by Anita Kunz suggests a scenario connected with the Second World War but little else. ("This was one of the most complicated books I ever read," says the artist, "and really hard to get the germ of the idea. Pynchon kept going off in tangents. I mixed up the art the same way the writer did and made an image that can be read in all directions.") It's only when you start reading the book that you find the connection between the novel's dominant concerns—the development of the V-2 rockets used by the Nazis to bomb London, and the erotic compulsions of Tyrone Slothrop, an American lieutenant at large in war-ravaged Europe—subtly reflected in the illustration, much more subtly than the cover art on the edition that preceded this one.

• Ray Bradbury was born 100 years ago today. Emily Temple expresses surprise that Truman Capote encouraged the publication of a Bradbury short story at Mademoiselle in 1946. I'm more surprised that Bradbury was paid $400 for his work; no wonder he was so eager to write for the non-genre magazines.

Fahrenheit 451 (1966) poster by György Kemény.
• "The novel is constantly assailed by people wanting to conscript it to their own ends. (Other art forms are not similarly burdened; someone yelling 'What about global warming?' between numbers at a Keith Jarrett concert would be recognized to have made a category error.)" Jonathan Clarke on the demands that literature should nurture empathy.
• The first three features by Alejandro Jodorowsky—Fando y Lis (1968), El Topo (1970) and The Holy Mountain (1973)—return to Britain's cinema screens in January (well…two of them return; I'm not sure that Fando y Lis has ever been shown in cinemas over here). All three films will be given overdue blu-ray releases by Arrow in March.

But from a present-day perspective, it is also remarkable the extent to which cafés, busy conduits for knowledge and sentiment, resembled later digitally connected systems. The larger establishments offered not just a huge selection of newspapers, domestic and foreign, but also reference material—maps, dictionaries, encyclopaedias, language lexicons, address books—for writers struggling with their research, or merely trying to settle an argument. The combination of hard facts and caffeinated opinion firing through the steamy analogue ether constituted a local area network of extraordinary reach. In the pre-digital era, the Viennese café offered the greatest possible concentration of current knowledge—for the price of a mélange.

X from Theodore Howard's ABC (1880) by Theodore Howard.
• "[Parade] has everything: joy and sadness, get-down and wistfulness, mourning and melancholia, group funk and Debussy interludes, echoes of Ellington, Joni, film music, chanson. It's a perfectly realised whole." Ian Penman on the enigmas and pleasures of Prince.
• "Mescaline reads like the culmination of a lifetime's wanderings in the very farthest outposts of scientific and medical history." Ian Sansom review's Mike Jay's history of the psychedelic alkaloid.
• The Day the Music Burned by Jody Rosen: "It was the biggest disaster in the history of the music business—and almost nobody knew. This is the story of the 2008 Universal fire."
This willing constriction of intellectual freedom will do lasting damage. It corrupts the ability to think clearly, and it undermines both culture and progress. Good art doesn't come from wokeness, and social problems starved of debate can't find real solutions. "Nothing is gained by teaching a parrot a new word," Orwell wrote in 1946. "What is needed is the right to print what one believes to be true, without having to fear bullying or blackmail from any side." Not much has changed since the 1940s. The will to power still passes through hatred on the right and virtue on the left.

Your Malthouse Blogger Neil Miller has asked me to fill in for him over the next few weeks as he takes a break after nine years of regular Malthouse bloggery.
I'm Martin Craig, beer writer and Malthouse regular, and I will just have to do in the meantime.
Neil and I have different writing styles  and my knowledge of Mexican wrestling, Star Wars/Trek, Chuck Norris movies, and bad Canadian music pales in comparison.
But I do have a strength Neil cannot match – it's well known that Neil is not a cider fan: "As noted many times, it is a matter of public record that I am not a cider drinker," Neil confessed in this blog in 2013. I like cider, and this week we're getting excited about Ciderhouse.
Every year, in the peak of summer, The Malthouse replaces barley with apples and becomes The Ciderhouse. This year's takeover sees at least 12 cider taps confirmed, with a few surprises coming on the night.
It is an occasion for joy, and, for occasional cider drinkers, an occasion to discover what's changed in the cider world.
Compared to the innovative and experimental world of craft beer, cider moves slowly and traditionally. It takes weeks to grow a hop bine: it takes years to grow an apple tree. New varieties of hops appear each year, but new apple varieties don't exist. Like wine makers, cider makers rely on one harvest each year and have to adapt to the vagaries of cropping, rainfall, sunshine and, in some years, ex-tropical cyclones with a mean sense of timing. Apple trees give a strong crop one year, followed by a small crop the next.
So cider makers' skills lie in understanding the different characteristics of each year's harvest, then working to bring out the best in them.
One rule of thumb says any apple that tastes too bad to eat makes a good cider. It's not that simple, but many cider apples are too sharp (acidic) or bitter (tannic) to eat. Some are even too sharp to ferment – the acid kills the yeast – and so cidermakers blend juices before fermentation, and then blend the resulting ciders to produce something delicious and quenching.
And apple juices are highly fermentable. Left alone, just about all of the sugar can ferment out, leaving a cider that is puckeringly astringent. The simple trick it to add sugar to restore sweetness, and that's exactly what a lot of the fizzy, appley sweet supermarket ciders get. But a craft cider can be left dry, or have apple juice added for balance.
The result is that trad ciders cover a huge range of flavour experiences. Flat or carbonated; clear or cloudy; pale or red-brown; sweet or aridly dry. And next year's batch will be different again.
Right now Ciderhouse has twelve taps confirmed, with more in the pipeline, and of course, The Malthouse's excellent range of bottled and canned ciders in the fridge.
Next time we write of Deep Creek Brewing and the ever-flattering Aloha shirt/moustache combo.
 For one thing, I don't do footnotes. If it's worth saying, put it in the text already!


I started studying philosophy because I thought it would answer my questions about life. I was young and confused and in a hurry to figure things out. Other people I knew took their parent's advice and enrolled in practical subjects like law, engineering, or business and economics. I thought I was clever by diving in at the deep end. I figured that once I'd answered the big questions of life (like 'What is goodness?' What is truth?' 'How do I know I'm not living inside the Matrix?'), the other subjects would be easy. First things first, right? Aristotle would have been proud. My parents, who'd never read Aristotle, were not so impressed.

Lori Stokes to Emcee the Campaign for Female Education's Gala
The Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED) today announced that Lori Stokes, the award-winning co-host of Good Day New York, will serve as emcee of the organization's first-ever New York Gala.
The "Education Changes Everything" Gala will take place on May 9th at 583 Park Avenue. CAMFED, an international nonprofit eradicating poverty in sub-Saharan Africa through education, is celebrating 25 years of empowering girls and advancing women's leadership.
Lori Stokes, a Cleveland native, is a nine-time Emmy award-winning journalist and news anchor. Currently a co-host of Good Day New York on Fox 5, Stokes was the first African American to broadcast on MSNBC.
"It is simply remarkable what the Campaign for Female Education has been able to accomplish over two and a half decades," said Stokes. "Their impact, and the girls they have reached, is worth celebrating not just for one night, but for years to come. I am honored by this opportunity to emcee this event for an organization that cultivates and celebrates the success of girls and women across Africa, and the world."
Stokes is known as a champion for social causes. And she has covered many historic, watershed events over her career, including the Columbine High School shooting, the death of John F. Kennedy, Jr., and the capture of Osama bin Laden. As a result of her work, Stokes has received multiple awards, including a George P. Foster Peabody Award for her coverage on the September 11th World Trade Center attacks. Her Emmy awards include one for her in-depth investigative reporting on violence against children.
Beyond the newsroom, Stokes received the 2003 Congressional Black Caucus Celebration of Leadership Award in recognition of her civic service. Most recently, she was included on the 2016 Ideagen Power 100 List, recognizing individuals empowering women and girls across the planet.
"We cannot think of a better steward for the 'Education Changes Everything' Gala than Lori Stokes," said Brooke Hutchinson, Executive Director of CAMFED USA. "Her body of work speaks volumes to the kind of champion she is when it comes to creating a more just and equal society for women and children in particular. We are thrilled to have her anchor such an exciting night as our emcee."
Since its launch 25 years ago, the Campaign for Female Education has supported the education of 2.6 million children across sub-Saharan Africa. Its first-ever gala will bring together A-list celebrities, business leaders and philanthropists as they celebrate and support a movement of women transforming the continent of Africa and beyond.
Currently, more than 120,000 CAMFED graduates make up the organization's rapidly growing Alumnae network, CAMA. These inspiring women are mentoring and educating the next generation of girls through school and into careers as a means of improving the health and wealth of their communities and the world.

Let us show you a range of possibilities for measuring textural properties of dairy products with a texture analyser.
As consumer tastes become increasingly sophisticated, supermarkets are displaying a wider variety of dairy products in an attempt to supply consumers with the choice they desire, whether it's creamier yoghurt, stretchier mozzarella, a more spreadable spread or softer scooping ice cream.
One way manufacturers can survive in this competitive environment, and retain consumer satisfaction and market share, is to invest in the quality of their existing products as well as new product development and innovation. Texture analysis is a key element in the production of high quality foods. Consumer surveys have demonstrated that product texture is closely linked to its popularity. The softness or hardness of a cheese, for example, could have a lasting influence on brand loyalty. Equally, consumers may be disappointed if a yoghurt has an unpleasant mouthfeel.
Meeting market demand, however, isn't easy. Production methods, processing parameters, the need for 'dairy-free' and potential ingredient substitution will all need to be considered as to their contribution to change in finished product texture. The market is exciting and playful but loyalty is key and quick to change so you'll want to make sure that the product quality is optimally measured and monitored to minimise failure.
A wide range of DAIRY PRODUCT test methods is built into Exponent Texture Analyser software and will automatically load at the click of a button. We help make your testing quicker to access and the analysis of your product properties already prepared for you.
When a test solution doesn't exist, we go ahead and develop it – the Cheese Extensibility Rig and Cheese Grating Rig are classic examples of our Community Registered Designs.
No one knows more about the texture analysis of dairy products – but don't just take our word for it, read an example of what our customers have to say.
A selection of special attachments and typical measurements which are commonly used in this application area are shown below, although this does not necessarily include the complete range available for the testing of dairy products. Test procedures include: compression, puncture / penetration, tension, fracture / bending, extrusion, cutting / shearing.
Can be used to apply small deformation to e.g. cheese to determine firmness.
Used for the measurement of spreadability of e.g. fats, table spreads.
Used to assess the consistency or extrudability of such products as yoghurt, sauces, cream.
Used to provide stable support for egg penetration/compression tests with the ability to retain any potential fluid expressed during the test.
Used to assess firmness of block forms of butter, margarine, cheese with the aid of a fine wire.
Can be used in a similar manner as a backward extrusion rig for e.g. mayonnaise, mousse consistency determination.
Can be used to assess fracture/ 'bite force" of hard cheeses.
Allows the assessment of molten cheese by the utilisation of a vessel and fork system.
For assessment of the suitability of cheeses for grating, using a repeatable test cycle with the texture analyser in horizontal orientation. Three blades are supplied.
This enables the producer to monitor a range of parameters to ensure that eggs meet the required quality standards.

Penelope Rutledge longs for passion, but only with the man of her dreams: the brilliant, dashing Ethan Weatherstone. If only her longtime neighbor would open his eyes and realize how much she loves him. If only they weren't best friends with so much at stake. Penelope knows her future - and their friendship - is in her hands, but is she willing to take the biggest risk of all on the man she loves?
If it were up to Ethan, life and love would be as predictable as the figures in his ledgers - certainly nothing like the adventures Penelope longs for. Yet his childhood friend has grown into a beautiful, feisty woman blissfully unaware of the danger she causes when near. Ethan knows he must save Penelope-and her reputation...but can he save himself from the temptation of her lips?
Ethan moved the quill off to the side, hovering over the blotter so the ink wouldn't spot the ledger. He regarded Pen with a speculative lift of his brow. Had there ever been a time when she allowed him to ignore her?
This time, Penelope glared at him, her nose wrinkling in a way that drew his attention to her freckles. He liked her freckles. They were balanced and orderly—four on the left and four on the right.
It was ironic that eight such sensible freckles could be on someone so lacking in sensibility.
It's all fun and games...until someone falls in love.
Oliver Goswick, Viscount Rathburn, needs money and soon. With time ticking away and his inheritance held hostage until he's properly wed, Rathburn's slim options point to just one solution: a mock courtship. In need of the perfect bride, he knows of only one candidate: his best friend's wallflower sister. The plan seems flawless; except for just one thing...he can't help falling in love with her.
For Emma, keeping the secret seems easy when it was just a game... but as Rathburn begins to see past her reserved exterior to the passionate woman within, the risk of losing her heart becomes all too real.
She looked at Rathburn, watching the buttons of his waistcoat move up and down as he caught his breath. When he looked away from the door and back to her, she could see the dampness of their kiss on his lips. Her kiss.
Yet when a twist of fate brings Merribeth within Bane's grasp, he'll have to resist her charms—or risk losing everything—for the sake of his heart.
He had been thoroughly distracted by Miss No Name, Miss Sign of Venus, as she ran her fingers through his hair. It felt heavenly. Wondrous. Divine. How long had it been since a woman had simply stroked his hair? Though he'd never admit it if asked, this was one of life's greatest pleasures.
Ever since the fiery redhead burst into his life—in a most memorable way—Griffin Croft hasn't been able to get Miss McFarland out of his mind. Now, with the maddening woman determined to hand over her fortune to a rake, Griffin knows he must step in. He must help her. He must not kiss her. But when Griffin's noble intentions flee in a moment of unexpected passion, his true course becomes clear: tame Delaney's wild heart and save her from a fate worse than death … a life without love..


What types of questions should I be asking before I sit on a board of advisors for a new startup?
"Is it worth my time?" Given that the compensation from an advisory board is equity in a private company with no actual market for it's securities, this is really the most important question. The likelihood that advisory board compensation will result in real financial compensation is very low, and yet the demands on your time are very real and can be significant. Is your time better spent in other areas?
"Is this company the most deserving of my generosity?" Because I enter into advisory relationships understanding that the likelihood of real compensation is so low, I evaluate whether to have such a role more from a perspective of how much I like the founder(s) and how much I want their product in my own life. If I don't really enjoy spending time with the founder(s), it's really not worth my time and energy. If I don't want the product in my own life, why would I spend time thinking about it and the business behind it?
To get clarity on those two main questions, I don't enter into advisory agreements immediately. I only do so after I have spent some time with the founder(s) on more than one occasion. And what I'm particularly observing is the founders' willingness and ability to receive feedback. Ideally, the founder updates you specifically on the actions taken and not-taken from the last time you were with them. We all observe differently, but I think it's paramount that you trust the advisor actually can implement your advice and counsel.
Is the Company "hoarding" advisors? More than 3 advisors to a Company is generally indicative that the founder is more interested in building social proof than getting advice and counsel. That can sometimes be acceptable in industries where proven expertise is really helpful and almost required in the early days of the business.
"Are expectations aligned?" Has the company articulated clearly the expectations of your time and involvement in a way you feel comfortable with being able to deliver upon?
Happy to speak to you in a quick call to answer any further questions on the topic.
1. Will this entertain me and will I have fun?
2. Can I contribute something of value?
3. Will these people listen to my advice if they aren't paying for it?
4. Will I learn something or become connected with other board members who matter to me?
All of these factors play a big part for me. They're all valuable components. So if too many don't add up in my favor I pass on the board.
When being asked to serve in an advisory role where you are not being compensated and will not have authority (I.e. Like a board member) you still should ask some fundamental questions. You are in effect exposing your credibility to how this business operates in the market and how market sentiment will impact you.
This should give you a beginning picture of the company and help you decide if you can really help.
I've both recruited advisory boards and served on those boards as well as serving as a board member.
I'd be glad to dive into specific due diligence or other factors if you have more specifics about your possible participation. Glad to hold a brief call to discuss.

The old and new come together in a neighborhood on the rise
By Jake Thomas
C.O.P.S. volunteer Kelly Cruz listens to residents' problems.
West Central began its life as a neighborhood in 1887, when it was platted for Nettleton's Addition. Since then, its growth has mirrored much of the country. It was a "streetcar suburb," swiftly growing along with the increasingly prosperous nation. It saw decline — and now renewal.
Jerry Gill, the 56-year-old owner of Doyle's Ice Cream Parlor, has lived in the same house in West Central his entire life. He describes growing up as "normal," playing with best friends, having sleepovers and eating Hawaiian Delight ice cream at the store he would later own. "Nobody was afraid to leave doors unlocked," he says. But he and others say things changed in the 1970s.
Judith Gilmore moved to the neighborhood in 1974, the same year the World's Fair was held in Spokane. She says that visitors saw how cheap the property was, and bought rental houses in West Central that fell into disrepair.
"When I was a kid, it was really nice to be in West Central," says Stephanie Swan, a longtime resident who was born in the neighborhood in 1944. "I don't know what happened." She says people became more economically stressed and struggled with crime and drugs. Now, when she meets a young family moving in, she thanks them.
Today, 88 percent of students at Holmes Elementary are on free or reduced-price lunches, and the neighborhood has no shortage of boarded-up houses with peeling paint and yards teeming with tall weeds, junked cars, rotting furniture and debris. But there's still pride.
"When people call it 'Felony Flats' I get offended," says Gill. "It's usually people who don't live in the neighborhood. I'm not afraid to walk at night."
Now, the neighborhood is changing. Kendall Yards, a tony "new urban" development, is growing in the neighborhood's south end. South of West Bridge Avenue, rows of tidy new houses have sprung up. Drawn by cheap housing prices, younger families are moving in, and nonprofits such as Project Hope are working with youth who walk through its streets wearing the organization's navy blue T-shirts.
Neighborhood activist Keith Kelley says that West Central's turn-of-the-century houses, with large stoops close to the street, have cultivated a unique "front porch culture."
"People are saying we're going to make something of this neighborhood," says City Councilwoman Karen Stratton. "And it feels really good."
LAW AND DISORDER
Six years ago, Kelly Cruz, a neighborhood activist, received a notice in the mail about a U.S. Postal Service letter carrier being punched in the face while on the job in West Central.
"When they start assaulting U.S. Postal employees, it's not much longer until they get to me," he recalls thinking.
So Cruz started volunteering at the West Central C.O.P.S. Shop, the oldest one in Spokane. Once a week, Cruz puts on a green polo shirt emblazoned with "COPS WEST" before heading to an office on Boone Street. Here, he fields about two dozen inquires a day from residents wanting to fill out a police report, complain about a nuisance property, register their bike or seek other services.

"I actually got a call from a guy who found some bones in his yard and thought they were human bones," says Cruz. The bones, he says, were from an animal.
On the wall are the portraits of 11-year-old Nicki Wood and 12-year-old Rebecca West, two girls who were abducted from West Central in 1991. Their disappearance and subsequent deaths sparked outrage and prompted the creation of the C.O.P.S., a nonprofit funded by the city.
On the front desk are a basket of Dum-Dums and a thick binder of the shop's history, including newspaper clippings documenting its past, including separate incidents during the 1990s when it was shot up and subject to arson. Cruz says that two summers ago, someone stole the shop's air conditioner; its replacement is now caged.
Patrick Striker, the program's executive director, says that for some people who've had negative experiences with police, C.O.P.S. is the only way they'd report problems to the city.
"They would never go to an officer or precinct building if they needed help," he says. Instead, they come see volunteers like Cruz, which Striker says they need more of.
Six years ago, Mika Maloney and her wife were thinking about buying a house in West Central.
"A few people, before we moved... " she says, pausing before completing her sentence, "cautioned us about the neighborhood."
While contemplating the move, she went for a jog through West Central. She saw people on their front porches; people, she says, were more likely to say "hello" than in "nice neighborhoods." With friendly residents, affordable property, construction at Kendall Yards underway and the Centennial Trail nearby, they were won over.
Two years ago, Maloney, 33, opened a storefront for her business, Batch Bakeshop, in a formerly boarded-up building on Dean Avenue. Here, she bakes wedding cakes, muffins and other pastries from scratch with seasonal ingredients. She says the building was originally constructed as butcher shop in 1905 and later housed a market before being boarded up.
Now, Maloney says that locals and people who moved away wander in, curious to see what's become of the building.
Doyle's owner Jerry Gill has called West Central home all his life.
'ALWAYS BEEN AN ICE CREAM SHOP'
Jerry Gill remembers the business on Boone Avenue and Nettleton Street always being an ice cream shop, except when it closed up in the late 1970s, remaining vacant.
"I heard that someone from California was going to buy it and turn it into a coffee shop," says Gill. He scrambled to find financing to buy the property, but someone beat him to it. It turned out that the new owner just wanted the house adjacent to the retail space, which he sold to Gill.
"I didn't know one thing about making ice cream," he says. "A lot of it was trial and error, but I had original recipes and figured it out."
Twenty-five years later, he makes batches of Razzle Dazzle, Chocolate Thunder, Black Liquorice and other ice cream flavors. When he was a kid, he says the shop had bare walls. Now, it's a time capsule. The wall behind the counter is covered in old Coca-Cola signs, packaging from Bing Crosby's brand of ice cream and other relics. He placed the original fortune-telling machine from the closed Natatorium Park near the register, and the back wall is lined with shelves full of his antique toys. If they weren't in the shop, he says, "They'd just sit in a box somewhere."♦
Established: 1887, originally as Nettleton's Addition; became known as West Central around the turn of the century.
Boundaries: (north) Indiana Avenue; (west) Spokane River; (east) North Monroe Street; (south) Spokane River
Population: 8,765, according to most recent Neighborhood Action Plan
Landmarks: The original Nettleton's Addition, Doyle's Ice Cream Parlor, Dutch Jake's Park

It's almost the end of summer, and Etude House has released a new round of products! I received the new nail polishes from Etude House. In the previous round of Summer Nails, the colors are bright and cheerful. This time, the nail polishes are also very bright! The palette featured for the Summer Pop Collection is blue and green. In conjunction with the Bling by the Sea makeup collection, a few glitter nail polishes have also been released. I got 2 of them to try out!
The Bling in the Sea collection has an array of different hues. There are a total of 6 polishes available. The 2 that I received are Shade 1 (left) and 2 (right). 1 is a pretty copper polish with orange, silver and gold specks of glitter while 2 is pink with magenta glitter. The glitter are very fine but pigmented. I shall do a more detailed review very soon!
The color pop collection has 10 different shades of nail polish. There are 2 series- the blue and green series. Some of the polishes may look very similar from afar, but if you compare the colors closely there's a difference between the blues and the greens.
The actual colors may vary due to the screen resolution. Above's a peek at the stock images from Etude House. The actual colors in the bottle are really that bright and cheerful!
I do have a bunch of nail art ideas for this set of nail polishes, so look out for a full review and nail art tutorial next week! Blue and Green are not conventional nail polish colors as opposed to red and pink tones, so the nail art will be something different and refreshing. Stay tuned!

Q: Single-crossing of functions involving random variables Consider two random variables that are jointly normally distributed:
$$
(T,C)\sim \text{BiNormal}[(\mu_t,\mu_c),(\sigma_t,\sigma_c),\rho]
$$
Now let me define two functions:
$$
\alpha(c)\equiv\Pr[T>a|C=c]
$$
for some scalar $a$. And
$$
k(c)\equiv \frac{c}{b}
$$
for some positive scalar $b$.
Is it the case that $\alpha(c)$ and $k(c)$ cross at most once as $c$ traverses from $0$ to infinity?
I have run simulations and this seems to be the case. It must certainly be true if $\rho<0$, since in such case $\alpha(c)$ is non-increasing in $c$. But is it more generally true for any $\rho$?

A: Since $$T|C = c \sim \mathcal{N}\left(\mu_T + \frac {\sigma_T} {\sigma_C} \rho (c - \mu_C), (1 - \rho^2)\sigma_T^2\right)$$
Consider the function
$$ \alpha(c) - k(c) \triangleq \Pr\{T > a|C = c\} - \frac {c} {b}
= 1 - \Phi\left(\frac {\displaystyle a - \mu_T - \frac {\sigma_T} {\sigma_C} \rho (c - \mu_C)} { \sqrt{1 - \rho^2}\sigma_T}\right) - \frac {c} {b}$$
The number of crossings is equal to the number of roots of the above functions. Differentiate with respect to $c$, we have
$$ \alpha'(c) - k'(c) =  \frac {\rho} {\sqrt{2\pi}\sqrt{1 - \rho^2}\sigma_C}
\exp\left\{- \frac {\displaystyle \left[a - \mu_T - \frac {\sigma_T} {\sigma_C} \rho (c - \mu_C)\right]^2} { 2(1 - \rho^2)\sigma_T^2}\right\}  - \frac {1} {b}$$
When $\rho < 0$, the derivative is always negative, i.e. $\alpha(c) - k(c)$ is always decreasing. Since $\Phi$ is bounded and the linear part dominate, it is easy to see that $\alpha(c) - k(c) \to +\infty$ as $c \to -\infty$, and $\alpha(c) - k(c) \to -\infty$ as $c \to +\infty$. As $\alpha(c) - k(c)$ is a continuous function, by intermediate value theorem, there exist one root, and by the monotonicity, the root is unique.
When $\rho = 0$ it is similar - the function just reduced to a linear function in $c$ so the root is unique again.
When $\rho > 0$, note that the exponential function is bounded above by $1$. So when
$$ \frac {\rho} {\sqrt{2\pi}\sqrt{1 - \rho^2}\sigma_C} - \frac {1} {b} < 0 \iff b < \frac {\sqrt{2\pi}\sqrt{1 - \rho^2}\sigma_C} {\rho}$$
the derivative is still always negative and thus reduce to the similar analysis as above.
Otherwise, $\alpha'(c) - k'(c)$ will have two zeros, namely
$$ \frac {\sigma_C} {\sigma_T\rho} \left[a - \mu_T + \frac {\sigma_T} {\sigma_C} \mu_C \pm \sqrt{2(1 - \rho^2)\sigma_T^2 \ln\left(\frac {b\rho} {\sqrt{2\pi}\sqrt{1 - \rho^2}\sigma_C} \right)}\right]$$
We denote the above $2$ numbers as $c_1, c_2$ with $c_1 < c_2$. So when $\alpha(c_1) - k(c_1) < 0$ and $\alpha(c_2) - k(c_2) > 0$, we have $3$ distinct roots. When one of the above two conditions is equal to $0$ only, we have $2$ distinct roots ($1$ repeated), which mean the line $k(c)$ is tangent to  $\alpha(c)$ at that point. Otherwise it still has one root only.
I am not going to simplify the condition (and I doubt if it can be). Here is just providing a simple illustration with
$$\rho = \frac {1} {2}, \sigma_C = \sigma_T = \frac {1} {\sqrt{3}}, c = \mu_C = \mu_T = 0, a = \frac {3} {4}, b = 3$$
Then
$$ \alpha(c) = 1 - \Phi\left(\frac {3} {2} - c\right) = \Phi\left(c - \frac {3} {2}\right), k(c) = \frac {c} {3}, b = 3 > \sqrt{2\pi} $$
I am not going to verify the two conditions, but just plot $\alpha(c)$ and $k(c)$ out:

Speech by Senator the Hon Mitch Fifield
Speech at the opening of St John's Village
Location: Wangaratta, Victoria
Well thank you very much Bishop John, and if I could acknowledge you, not only as the Bishop of Wangaratta, but also as Chair of this magnificent organisation.
To John Ilott, the Chief Executive, thank you for your hospitality today.
Cathy McGowan, local Member, good to be with you.
And also, wonderful to be with one of my oldest friends, Sophie Mirabella, the former Member for the area.
But can I also, through Sue Gilham, pay particular acknowledgement to the staff who are here today. For you, I know that what you do is far more than a job. When you get up each day, and head into work at St John's Village, you know that you are making a contribution to improving someone's quality of life. And I think it's a very great privilege to work in aged care, whether you do so as Minister for Aged Care, or whether you're someone who works in an aged care facility. I think it's a privilege, particularly for the staff, because the people who you support put their trust in you, and they often do so at a vulnerable time in their life. And I think for someone to have that confidence to open up and to put themselves, to some extent, in your hands, is a great honour. And it's worth, on an occasion like this, pausing for a moment to remember that.
Most particularly, can I acknowledge the residents who are here today. I am always acutely aware, when I am in an aged care facility, that I am in someone's home. So, to you, thank you very much for letting me, and a few other friends, here today.
Friends I think today, above and beyond anything else, really is a celebration. It's a celebration of St John's Village organisation, it's a celebration of a community that sees need, that recognises need and just gets on with the job of meeting that need without much fuss. So I think today, above and beyond anything, really is a celebration.
I was also very keen to be here today because I wanted to show my support for mission-based organisations, faith-based organisations. Because there's a certain character and a certain quality that is infused through this organisation. That manifests itself in the quality of care that is given to residents here. There's a very important place for mission-based organisations in our community. And I think what St John's Village does so, so well, is that it provides a continuum of care, a continuum of support. We have, in the same area, a retirement village component, we also have the aged care facility, so people have the opportunity, as their needs increase, of living in the same area, of living in the same community without having to move.
As Bishop John said, that's very much the approach that's taken now to aged care is ageing in place. For those for whom it's possible to receive support in their home, that's a good thing. People understandably want to stay at home for as long as they can. For those who need a little more support, then there are fabulous facilities such as this. So as the Minister for Ageing, I want to see more of what we see before us today.
And could I also acknowledge the architect. Design is just so important when it comes to aged care. You cannot pay too much attention to the design, and to the quality of the fit out. So, to everyone who has been involved with this magnificent project; congratulations. It's a day to pause for a moment, to reflect on the hard work that's been done. But also, to reflect on what a contribution you have made, and will be making, through this facility, through this organisation, to the quality of life of fellow members of the community.

Good Morning Learning Centre
From a small hut with 128 students of varying grade levels, Good morning school has improved radically. With a new school building with 10 rooms, a garden, a fishpond and pigs, learning has never been better. Children are mostly of Burman ethnicity, but among them there are also some Karen children.
The school has incorporated vocational classes on handicraft, agriculture, animal husbandry and sporting activities to the curriculum. The school hopes that it will generate enough income from the garden, the pig and fish rearing, to reduce operational costs and eventually become fully self-sufficient. The school also provides lunch and uniforms to every students and teachers. This has been possible because of dedicated teachers, the manager and a specific donor.
Every year the school opens a new grade, allowing the children who want to continue to study to stay in school. This year it has opened grade 8.
Last year the school has opened a small boarding house, to allow children coming from far away to attend school.
Grade Levels: Nursery to Grade-7
Head Teacher: Daw Than Than
Students (Male): 139
Students (Female): 130
Total number of teacher: 12
