Q: Inheritance and Try-With-Resources Suppose there are two classes implementing AutoCloseable Interface as below:
public class Closing1 implements AutoCloseable {

private boolean closed;

@Override
public void close() throws Exception {
    if (closed) {
        throw new Exception("Closed Already");
    }
    this.closed = true;
    System.out.println("Closing1 closed");
}

public boolean isClosed() {
    return closed;
}

}

and
public class Closing2 implements AutoCloseable {

private Closing1 cl1;

public Closing2(Closing1 cl1) {
    this.cl1 = cl1;
}

@Override
public void close() throws Exception {
    if(!cl1.isClosed()) {
        throw new Exception("Closing1 not closed");
    }
    System.out.println("Closing2 closed");
}

}

I find that all variations with try with resources lead to an exception! Is there something I am missing here, or is it just the way TWR is designed?
        try(Closing1 c1 = new Closing1();Closing2 c2 = new Closing2(c1)){
            System.out.println("Done");
        } //Exception while auto closing C2

or
        try(Closing1 c1 = new Closing1();Closing2 c2 = new Closing2(c1)){
            System.out.println("Done");
            c1.close();
        } // exception while auto closing c1

A: Try-with-resources will close the resources in the opposite order of their declaration. This means that c2.close() will be called first, which will throw the exception as you have coded it.

A: Start with try-with-resources first, https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions/tryResourceClose.html
As the very first example shows already:
try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path))) {
    return br.readLine();
}

people will not necessarily name everything in the chain.
Unless you explicitly need c1 for something (other than closing), in real life your snippet would rather look like
try(Closing2 c2 = new Closing2(new Closing1())){
    System.out.println("Done");
}

and you would not call c1.close() in the try-block for sure, as there would be no c1 at all.
Keeping this in mind, throwing an exception from c2 because the contained c1 is not closed, is totally wrong, actually c2 owns the Closing1 object and should invoke close() on it:
class Close1 implements AutoCloseable {
    @Override
    public void close() throws Exception {
        System.out.println("Closing c1");
    }
}

class Close2 implements AutoCloseable {
    Close1 c1;
    Close2(Close1 c1) {
        this.c1=c1;
    }

    @Override
    public void close() throws Exception {
        System.out.print("Closing c1 from c2: ");
        c1.close();
        System.out.println("Closing c2");
    }
}

void test() {
    System.out.println("Before try block");
    try(Close2 c2=new Close2(new Close1())) {
        System.out.println("In try block");
    }
    catch(Exception ex) {
        System.out.println("Exception: "+ex);
    }
    finally {
        System.out.println("In finally block");
    }
    System.out.println("After try block");
}

However, if someone gives a name to c1, it will be closed twice, that is where the idempotency comes into the picture, as suggested by someone already:
System.out.println("Before try block");
try(Close1 c1 = new Close1(); Close2 c2 = new Close2(c1)){
    System.out.println("In try block");
}
catch(Exception ex){
    System.out.println("Exception: "+ex);
}
finally{
    System.out.println("In finally block");
}
System.out.println("After try block");

As BufferedReader was mentioned already, this is the close() method it has:
public void close() throws IOException {
    synchronized (lock) {
        if (in == null)
            return;
        try {
            in.close();
        } finally {
            in = null;
            cb = null;
        }
    }
}

If it has in, it gets closed, and nulled (in a finally block, so it happens even if an exception occurs), and all in a thread-safe block. (cb is just an array of characters, it gets null-ed too, simplifying the life of the garbage collector a little). Because of nulling everything in the finally block, any extra calls to this same method will not do anything (apart from synchronizing on the lock for a moment).

Obama Health Care Speech Seen by 32 Million
By Brian Montopoli
September 11, 2009 / 2:02 PM / CBS News
5299270President Obama's primetime address Wednesday pressing a joint session of Congress to pass a health care reform bill was watched by 32 million viewers, according to Nielsen. That includes 21.2 million viewers across CBS, NBC and ABC.
CBSNews.com Special Report: Health Care
The ratings reflect an improvement of more than 7 million viewers over the viewership for the president's July 22nd primetime news conference on health care.
But it's 38.6 percent fewer viewers than the 52 million who tuned in for the president's first address to a joint session of Congress, on February 24th.
Fox was the only major network not to show the speech, opting instead to show "So You Think You Can Dance," which garnered 6.5 million viewers, down from the 8.3 million it got in its season premiere in May. It was the third time the network has chosen not to air one of the president's primetime addresses. (Fox News did carry the address.)
In a Thursday speech, the president reiterated the main points from the primetime address, joking that he was doing so "just in case folks weren't tuned in last night — if they were watching 'So You Think You Can Dance.'" He noted that it's "a show Michelle likes."

Global education is an umbrella term with the purpose to foster people's awareness and understanding of challenges in their surrounding on a local and a global scale. Additionally, the approach urges to act responsible and ethically in order to induce change to the society towards a justice and sustainable world on a macro and micro level while embracing democratic principles. In the last decades, its importance has increased in the pedagogical sector in order to shape responsible and active citizens as from a bottom-up perspective. With respect to Finland, GE is an integrated part in the Finnish core curriculum for basic education. However, despite its significance, its meaning is not fully clarified which makes it a challenging process for teachers and teacher students to comprehend the notion of GE. The thesis investigates pre-service teachers' perceptions and experiences on GE at university of Oulu with the help of a phenomenographical inquiry. The focus is to gain data based on epistemological perspectives, as how the participants make sense of the concept individually. In addition, the qualitative study explores the challenges and the benefits within the framework of GE, as the participants experience it. All in all, the purpose is not to generalize those perceptions, but the study should give an insight into the different views. In the research, nine participants elaborated their perceptions in semi-structured interviews conducted on the premises of Oulu university. The data analysis process involved an inductive methodology which led to the establishment of the outcome space. The study confirms that the meaning of GE is subjected to large variations. The findings demonstrate a discrepancy between the theoretical knowledge and everyday knowledge, as the participants experienced difficulties in conceptualizing the concept. Additionally, the study demonstrates a strong focus on multicultural aspects of GE, while the political dimension specifically focused on democratic principles or social injustice issues are less addressed which indicates a mainstream understanding of GE. However, the thesis concludes that the participants are highly aware and concerned of the global issues regarding their surrounding whereby they acknowledge their responsibilities within the society. Nevertheless, the study shows that their perceptions are partly influenced by their experiences in the teaching programs in which the conduct of GE is unequally exercised. The current approaches as dialogues and research-based inquiries are experienced by the participants as less effective, as controversial issues are not sufficiently addressed. Another observation is that the participants do feel a lack of empowerment which may have an impact on transformational progress within GE. Overall, the study shows that the participants are positively interested in the concept, but improvements within the teaching programs require to be made so that the interest of the students is fostered to generate active global educators.

Matt didn't immediately dive into construction upon reaching adulthood, but his fascination for the industry started at an early age. Growing up, he was the kid who asked questions—a lot of them—especially when it came to construction. After serving in the military and exploring other career interests, Matt knew it was time to entertain pursuing his boyhood passion.
After moving to Washington State, a good friend urged him to join the Carpenters Union. While it took some convincing, Matt is thankful for his friend's persistent encouragement to pursue something he would truly enjoy.
In his first year as an apprentice, he was lucky to work under the mentorship of a friend, which made those first few months less intimidating. Now at GLY, Matt says "the mentoring mentality continues. My General Foreman and Superintendent consistently help advance my skill-set and give me a better understanding of what it means to be a quality construction worker."
Currently three years into the program, Matt admits he still learns something new every day. He arrives to work with an open mind and ready to learn a new skill or process.
Someday, he hopes to be a Superintendent. He understands that he has much more to learn and is determined to be a leader in the construction industry—passing along his knowledge and skills to apprentices just like him.
Great job Matt, I look forward to help sharpen your skills.

On Gluten Free
Swiss Chard and Ricotta Quiche
Carley Hughes, Ella's Bellas / Photo by Meredith Heuer
TEN YEARS AGO, many people, including savvy foodies, had never heard of the word gluten, much less the implications it could have on health. Few, if any, restaurants posted gluten-free dishes on their menus, and gluten-free bakeries were nonexistent.
Now firmly established in the culinary vocabulary, gluten-free is tossed around almost as freely as low-fat. Restaurants throughout the Hudson Valley tout their gluten-free choices; mainstream supermarkets as well as health food stores have expanded their gluten-free sections, and a whole new sector of bakeries has emerged sans gluten. To separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak, this primer presents some essential facts about gluten and how those affected by this ubiquitous substance can eat without it—and still enjoy mealtime.
What is gluten?
Gluten is a protein (actually, it's a combination of two proteins—gliadin and glutelin) found in many grains. In its natural state it helps nourish the embryonic seed and bind the grain's components together. It is insoluble in water—it's what is left after grain has been milled and the starch washed away. Incorporated into flour, gluten's sticky nature helps give dough elasticity.
What foods contain gluten?
Gluten is present in all wheat (durum, emmer, spelt, farina, faro and einkorn), rye, barley and triticale (a new grain developed as a wheat substitute), and thus it's present in any food that uses these grains or flour made from them. This includes bread, pastries, pasta, noodles (including ramen and egg noodle), cereal, crackers (including pretzels and graham crackers), breakfast foods like pancakes and waffles, and any sauce or gravy that uses wheat flour as a thickener. Brewer's yeast also contains gluten, as do most beers, ales, malt beverages (including malted milk and milkshakes) and malt vinegar. Pope Francis has yet to address the sad fact that Catholic communion wafers, too, contain gluten. In short, unless the labeling of a prepared product clearly states it is gluten-free, it likely contains some main ingredient, thickener, seasoning or enzyme derived from gluten.
Who needs to avoid gluten?
According to estimates from the Mayo Clinic, about 1 percent of the population suffers from celiac disease—a genetically linked autoimmune disease. Triggered by the presence of gluten, the body reacts against itself, in this case causing painful inflammation of the small intestines, resulting in malabsorption of essential nutrients that ultimately can lead to anemia, osteoporosis, thyroid disorders and even infertility. There is no cure and no medication for celiac disease—the only way to manage the condition is with a strict gluten-free diet.
Less well understood, but not necessarily less painful, is non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), whose symptoms can mimic those of celiac disease. Anecdotal evidence suggests as many as 20 percent of Americans may suffer from NCGS, experiencing uncomfortable abdominal cramps, belching and water retention after eating gluten products. "Gluten is a potent protein that stimulates an immune response and makes some people feel crummy," notes Dr. Louis Aurisicchio, a gastroenterologist with Putnam Hospital Center and Mount Kisco Medical Group, who adds, "Any patient who comes in with abdominal pain, weight loss and bloating—celiac disease is thought of at the first encounter." Blood tests and a biopsy of the small intestine can confirm the diagnosis.
What foods are off limits on a gluten-free diet?
If you've been diagnosed with celiac disease or NCGS, identifying triggers and reading labels becomes a necessary obsession. The nomenclature on processed food labels can be dizzying. Wheat or wheat-derived product in any form, of course, is the primary red flag; packaged products containing wheat are required to be labeled with that information because wheat is classified as a major food allergen. "Natural flavors" can be tricky—it is a big umbrella under which many gluten-containing additives can fall—thus anything with added flavorings and not certified as gluten-free should be avoided. "Hydrolyzed vegetable protein," found in many packaged products, is another flag (it usually is made from wheat protein). Uncertified soy sauce and other soy products also are off limits, which is somewhat surprising since soybeans are naturally gluten-free. However, because soybeans (and oats) are handled and processed in such close conjunction with wheat or other grains, it is often seriously cross-contaminated. (A safer choice for soy-sauce lovers is tamari.)
What's left to eat on a gluten-free diet?
Many popular and common foods are naturally gluten-free, and many others can be created using gluten-free ingredients. Meat and fish are safe bets—as long as they're fresh and unprepared (meat, fish or other products that have been marinated or contain flavorings or other additives are not safe—most of these preparations contain gluten). Gluten is not in buckwheat, rice, quinoa, corn or millet, nor is it in eggs or dairy products. Fresh fruits, vegetables and nuts are gluten-free, as are wines and distilled liquors. (Even though liquors such as scotch or bourbon are made using gluten-containing grains, the distillation process eliminates the gluten peptides). The Hudson Valley's signature beverage—hard cider—also is naturally gluten-free.
A Field Guide to Alternative Flours
Different types of gluten-free flours have varying properties that make them more or less suitable for different kinds of baking. Most chefs recommend making a blend of several different kinds, taking advantage of each type's best qualities. Arrowhead Mills, Bob's Red Mill, Glutino and King Arthur are among the companies that make pre-mixed, all-purpose gluten-free flour blends.
Nutty flavor, substitute for whole-wheat flour.
Mellow, sweet flavor. Ranges from coarsely ground to fine, smooth grains.
Not to be confused with corn flour, this is widely used as a thickening agent and gives lift to baked goods.
Finely ground and light, this is excellent for baking. Make sure the flour is from certified gluten-free oats—oats are commonly cross-contaminated.
Dense and smooth, with a pronounced flavor.
Like corn starch, this lightens flour blends for baking.
Can be found in several versions: brown, white and sweet white. Moist and lightly flavored; good as a thickening agent, though too much can make foods gummy.
This cereal grain is grown in many developing countries; it is most often found on these shores in molasses. Flavor ranges from sweet to slightly bitter. Very close in taste and texture to "regular" all-purpose wheat flour.
A good thickening agent (similar to arrowroot). When finely ground, this lends a smooth, chewy quality.
This grain comes from grass. Its flour has a slightly gelatinous quality, which mimics gluten's binding abilities in an array of dishes.
Does celiac disease or NGCS mean restaurants or café are off limits?
Dining out can be a challenge for anyone with special dietary needs, but the growing consciousness about gluten in food has caught the attention of many restaurateurs and chefs. So, although living with gluten intolerance requires extra diligence, it needn't eliminate the enjoyment of a meal out. With the number of gluten-sensitive customers on the rise, more restaurants now offer gluten-free items on their menus. In fact, gluten-free cuisine is one of the hottest food trends identified by the National Restaurant Association. New regulations by the FDA set strict rules on restaurants labeling items as gluten-free. Queries to the wait staff, maître d' or even the chef should answer questions about ingredients, preparation methods and cross-contamination risks.
There also is a growing trend toward totally gluten-free businesses. Ella's Bella's (Beacon), By the Way Bakery (Hastings) and Flour Buds (Nyack) are among the growing number of bakeries in the Hudson Valley proving gluten-free can be delicious.
Where can people with gluten-sensitivity turn for support?
Many local community centers, libraries, hospitals and clinics host support group meetings. There are a growing number of "virtual" celiac support groups that offer advice, menu suggestions and recipes. One of the most popular online sources in this region is Gluten-Free Hudson Valley, where Ann Byrne, a community blogger for The Poughkeepsie Journal, shares her experiences living gluten-free in the Hudson Valley.
Thanks to Abby Luby for contributing to this article. Other sources of information include The Celiac Disease Foundation; The Celiac Support Association; the Cleveland Clinic Center for Continuing Education; Gastroenterology; The Lancet; MayoClinic.org; and the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness.

WWI – Ampthill Command Depot in Ampthill Park – the Camp Diary, October 1917
October 1917 – more men who are recuperating at the Ampthill Command Depot have been awarded gallantry medals.
18257 Private Herbert W. FISH of the 7th Bedfords' has been awarded the *Distinguished Conduct Medal and the Russian Cross of St. George. In 1916 near Mametz Private Fish' prompt action helped to extricate 3 wounded officers who were buried alive after their dugout was blown in by a shell. In the July Private Fish saw action at Pomieres Redoubt. The British advance was held in open land while a barrage pounded the redoubt. A German machine gun opened up on the flank causing many casualties. Private Fish volunteered to help bomb the gun out of action, and was successful.
(* The official Citation records Private Fish as being awarded the D.C.M. rather than M.M.)
D.C.M. Citation
13538 Serjeant Reginald SHELFORD of the 11th Suffolk Regiment. Awarded the Military Medal for his leadership on April 9, 1917 when commanding a platoon during the British attack at Arras, and for his continuouse good work and devotion to duty. Wounded in May 1917 at Rouex and invalided back to Blighty.
325105 Serjeant Jack SHELTON of Whittlesey – 1st Cambridgeshire Regiment. On July 31, 1917 Serjeant Shelton was part of an attack at St. Julien. He took command of the company after senior officers were wounded and killed, and led his men to achieve all of their objectives. In August 1917 when in the trenches Serjeant Shelton was wounded, and sent to England.
Private CHAPPELL of the 7th Bedfordshire Regiment. During an attack on the vilage of Chrisy the battalion was held up by a strong enemy post on the left flank. Private Chappell took his Lewis gun and crawled from shell hole to shell hole, and suceeded in reaching a position from which he was able to enfilade the German post and force their retirement.
News of the Canadians
The Wesleyan Church has welcomed the Canadian Forestry Corps by placing three rooms at their disposal, where the man can spend a quiet and sociable time in the evenings.
However, the Canadian's developing relationship with Ampthill Urban District Council remains fractious. The Council thought that it had obtained an agreement to spare a belt of trees. By the time Mr Dawson of the Timber Supply Department attended the Council meeting the trees in question were already down, which the Members considered very discourteous.
Writing in the Ampthill Parish Magazine, the Rev D. May tried to set matters in context
"The ravaging of woods, by our own hands, needs to be thought of by contrast with the ravaging of hearths and homes by the enemy; then we gain a sense of proportion."
On October 3 the laying of rail for a narrow gauge railway started from Ampthill Station towards Breakheart Hill (to the West of Fordfield Road in Ampthill).
Five hundred and fifty Ampthill recruits have lost their lives since our brave volunteers completed their training from May 1915 to July 1916 and were drafted to the Front.
During October 1917 twenty nine Ampthill Recruits have been killed or have died of their wounds. One of the men is John AYLOTT (37) of Bedford who earlier in summer was awarded the Military Medal for conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty in bringing in wounded under fire.
Twelve of these chaps fell on 30 October while serving with the Bedfords' 4th Battalion near Ypres. The Bedfords attacked at dawn but were held up by very heavy and boggy ground surrounding the Paddebeek and a total advance of about 150-200 yards only was made. Eleven of the twelve have no known grave. Click – to read the war diary of October 30, 1917.

The health care industry is under constant pressure to reduce costs. This is especially evident in chronic disease management, where a growing segment of the population – the Centers for Disease Control estimates half of all adults in the United States have one or more chronic conditions – is accumulating an increasing portion of health care expenditures.
Researchers in the Mayo Clinic Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery collaborate with different clinical areas at Mayo Clinic, jointly researching ways to address this. They seek to improve patient experience, outcomes and cost – adding value without sacrificing any of these aspects of care.
In a recent article in Population Health Management, a team of Mayo Clinic researchers led by Bjorg Thorsteinsdottir, M.D., an internal medicine doctor and health services researcher Priya Ramar, explored value in long-term dialysis (also called hemodialysis) care. They reported that for patients with end-stage kidney disease that receive maintenance dialysis, some interventions are more likely than others to have good results for patients.
The team conducted a systematic review of all medical research studies published between 2000 and 2014, involving at least five adult dialysis patients, whose status was followed for at least six months. Of the 1,988 articles screened, 25 international studies with 74,833 maintenance dialysis patients were included in their study results.
In most cases, these strategies were compared to standard urban dialysis center-delivered care. A complete breakdown of experiment and control groups in the included studies is listed in the study.
The seven studies in this subgroup included studies included pharmacists, nurses, social workers, dietitian case managers, nephrologists, or other team members, and regular meetings to discuss care plans. According to the authors, this finding is consistent with other research on patients with chronic kidney disease, including end stage renal disease, and across a variety of care providers and settings.
Although they did not reach statistical significance, strategies that allowed for contact with a health care provider (telemedicine) and supported the patient's self-care were associated with better outcomes than those that did not, according to the authors. Telemedicine was a strategy used in studies of home dialysis and dialysis in settings other than the patient's home. Nocturnal (overnight during sleep) dialysis was also noted as a beneficial practice.
While they conducted this research study to help identify and adapt best practices for value-based care in the Mayo Clinic dialysis network, their findings have a wider application for patients and health care providers everywhere. As with other types of knowledge synthesis research, these findings place best practice information at the fingertips of physicians – one paper to read rather than thousands. And for individuals diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease, this research can help them identify the best care options available, and learn what to ask for in discussions with their doctor.
The researchers also hope the findings will influence health insurers and government policymakers as they consider new reimbursement models.
For example, Dr. Thorsteinsdottir says, "The addition of telemedicine services to home dialysis appears to lead to better outcomes for patients, but except for rural patients receiving dialysis, this is not a reimbursable service." She and her colleagues believe that adding more telemedicine capabilities within health care would add value for patients everywhere.
They also encourage more research, specifically prospective comparative effectiveness studies. "It is crucial that we study ongoing practice change that is happening in response to the new reimbursement models so that quality and patient safety are maintained," says Dr. Thorsteinsdottir.
Dr. Thorsteinsdottir is an alumna of the Kern Health Care Delivery Scholar Program. Providing evidence-informed and patient-centered health care requires assessing existing health care delivery systems, rigorously testing different care models and applying best practices to improve those systems. This program trains and mentors clinically trained doctoral-level fellows and junior faculty in health services research, with the goal of transforming health care delivery for improved, patient-centered outcomes.


Being a Health professional you must have heard about the Continuing Professional Development or Continuing Medical Education (CPD/CME). After you get a professional degree or qualification CME points will help you to upgrade your knowledge regarding your profession.
CME points refers to the hours which are required to be fulfilled to complete the requirements. Many courses are designed accordingly to deliver the knowledge in set time. These updated knowledge is then used to raise the standards of medical service in a medical setting.
For example: Dubai Health Authority requires 20 CME points hours for renewal of Pharmacy License every year. Arizona requires an average of 40 hours of CME points every two years.
CME points can be earned online by taking the ongoing educational briefs provided by the website. In most cases you have to check CME points are provided online are free or they cost some dimes. Basically educational websites are developing these courses with help of professionals so they are keen to charge you some amount but not always, so most of the times you will be charged for the membership fees mainly. However, some websites also charge for every CME or sometimes for certain types of CME activities only.
Here are some of the licensed bodies which help you to update your knowledge through earning CME points easily and effectively.
Educational Agencies - which are responsible for medical knowledge development.
Hospitals - medical professionals often design CME points based on their own professional experiences.
Online websites - this is a new trend. Websites being accredited with regular licensing bodies to process medical information which is authentic and reliable. Its not a surprise if they create CME points lectures for professionals.
Disclaimer: We don't have any participation or partnership with any of these CME Points awarding bodies or links published in this article.


Hello sports fans. Just in from 12 hours on the road from Cooper's house and boy howdy am I tired. Last night's party was amazing, but there was little sleep to be had. We'll talk tomorrow. Suffice it to say the jam rocked with Jason Isbell, Scott Boyer III, Billy C. Farlow, Sons of Roswell, Howler and more. Also on hand were Shoals legends David Hood, NC Thurman and Kelvin Holly, not to mention one sweetheart friend of mine who writes for SWAMPLAND.COM, Penne Elk. We'll share tomorrow.
Meanwhile, with the memories of Billy Bob and The Boxmasters still fresh in my head, here is a great video from The Huntsville Times online. Lots of Billy's A&E interview and some performance. Enjoy! I love it!
Great video. I wish it had him doing Carl Chidlers.

Margaret Otlowski
Margaret Otlowski investigates the complex and controversial issue of active voluntary euthanasia. She critically examines the criminal law prohibition of medically administered active voluntary euthanasia in common law jurisdictions, and carefully looks at the situation as handled in practice. The evidence of patient demands for active euthanasia and the willingness of some doctors to respond to patients' requests is explored, and an argument for reform of the law is made with reference to the position in the Netherlands (where active voluntary euthanasia is now openly practiced).

Penney Lewis
The question of whether euthanasia and assisted suicide should be legalized is often treated, by judges and commentators, as a universal, ethical question, transcending national boundaries and diverse legal systems. By thinking of the issue in this way, the important context in which individual jurisdictions make decisions about assisted dying and the significance of the legal methods chosen to carry out those decisions is often lost.
This book examines the impact of the choice of diverse legal routes towards legalization on the subsequent assisted dying regimes in operation. This...

Dying Justice : A Case for Decriminalizing Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide in Canada
Jocelyn Downie
The legal status of assisted death in Canada is in urgent need of clarification and reform. If this is to take place, however, the process must be informed by a careful, thorough, and thoughtful analysis of the issues. In Dying Justice, Jocelyn Downie provides an up-to-date and comprehensive review of significant developments in the current legal status of assisted death in Canada. She then recasts the framework for analysis in terms of the nature of the decision for assisted death. Refusals of treatment and requests for assisted suicide and euthanasia, the author believes, should...

Assisted Dying : Reflections on the Need for Law Reform
McLean Sheila; Sheila McLean
Assisted Dying explores the law relating to euthanasia and assisted suicide, tracing its development from prohibition through to the laissez faire attitude adopted in a number of countries in the 21st Century. This book provides an in-depth critique of the arguments surrounding legislative control of such practices and particularly looks into the regulatory role of the state. In the classical tradition of libertarianism, the state is generally presumed to have a remit to intervene where an individual's actions threaten another, rather than harm the individuals...

Intuitive library solution for University College Dublin
For a library with a high volume of users, an upgrade of equipment has made it simpler for students to take out multiple books in one go, reduced queuing times and enabled library staff to access vital statistics on usage. It has also brought a sense of tranquility back to the library, ensuring it remains an attractive venue for study.
Founded in 1854, University College Dublin (UCD) is ranked within the top 1% of higher education institutes worldwide. With over 30,000 students, the University's main Dublin campus consists of 133 hectares of parkland and offers students first-class facilities.
In order to meet the needs of so many students, there are five libraries on site, and in this case one of the university's branch libraries, the Richview Library in the School of Architecture, Planning and Environmental Policy complex, needed to modernise their facility and replace their existing system which had become outdated.
Having worked in partnership with UCD for almost 20 years, delivering a range of products, we enjoy a good customer supplier relationship and were delighted to be asked to recommend a way of making efficiencies for the library staff and a better experience for the students, by upgrading their library equipment.
Samantha Drennan, Head of Library IT Services at the UCD Library, explained, "Due to our old system becoming outdated, we needed to modernise the existing system in our Richview Library and were looking for a solution that would allow us to provide a more sophisticated experience for our students, statistics on patron traffic and reduce workload for staff."
"After discussion with Telepen on the best solution, they recommended the installation of self-service kiosks, staff terminals and bi-directional RFID security gates", said Samantha.
We worked closely with the University to integrate the new system with the existing network, which involved detailed discussions with the IT department to ensure the system would meet the university's requirements before installation in the summer of 2019.
The self-service kiosks were supplied by our self-service partner, FE Technologies, a global leader in RFID technologies. With their intuitive software and unobtrusive design, the V5 self-service kiosks are ideal for academic libraries. Students can check out up to 15 items at one time, as well as renew and reserve items independently, providing a convenient way for students to self-manage their materials. Receipts for materials can be emailed rather than printed, and the student's account status can be viewed via a mobile app.
The kiosks work with the bi-directional security gates at the exit to provide discreet but effective security. Although the gates are aesthetically subtle, designed to blend in with the library environment, they have a powerful range and can identify tags moving in any direction. Any items being removed with security still intact will trigger an audible and visual warning, alerting students and staff of any materials which have not been desensitised.
The gates were fitted with the ability to monitor the volume of traffic and provide information to the library on how the facility is being used. This can help the library management team determine which hours of the day are busiest, which areas are seeing the most usage, and even how changes to the library are being received.
The improvements we made at the Richview Library have meant that the students now have more flexibility when accessing the library, allowing them to check books and materials in and out without involving support from the library staff. The entirely self-service solution promotes a greater sense of involvement and encourages responsible use of the library, by giving students more autonomy. The new system has reduced the workload for library staff and improved the circulation of materials around the library.
The kiosks also had the immediate effect of reducing the queues at peak periods, which in turn has made the library a more tranquil place to be. And, let's face it, nobody likes standing in a queue!
Commenting on the some of the benefits the new system has had, Barney Yabbacome, Account Manager for Telepen (Midlands and North UK, NI and Eire), said "The machines themselves are reliable and resilient systems the students and library staff can depend on, requiring little maintenance and with the advantage of being able to be left on 24 hours a day. The kiosks also retain full functionality if there is a network outage, meaning there is no disruption to service".
Overall, the project has been a huge success, Samantha confirms: "The solution Telepen provided has allowed us to enhance our library, provide a better overall facility for our students and improve our internal processes. We are delighted with the result".
Commenced work: Jan 2019/ Implemented: May 2019

White Sox batters strike out 16 times in an 8-4 loss to the Yankees
By LaMond Pope
| Post-Tribune |
Yankees opener Chad Green struck out Leury Garcia to begin the bottom of the first. Closer Aroldis Chapman struck out Ryan Cordell to end the game.
Strikeouts were the theme Saturday night at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Sox hitters struck out 16 times in an 8-4 loss to the Yankees in front of a sellout crowd of 36,074 at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The 16 strikeouts matched a season high.
"It's tough with the opener, especially a guy like that, he comes out throwing 98," Sox designated hitter James McCann said. "It's a guy that's pitched at the back end of the game. And then they bring in a lefty (Nestor Cortes Jr.). Tip your cap to him, he threw the ball extremely well.
"We had some frustrating at-bats, but overall he made his pitches. There weren't a lot of mistakes thrown tonight, and we obviously weren't able to take advantage of mistakes that weren't there."
Eloy Jimenez and Jose Abreu each had two hits, and McCann hit a three-run homer in the loss.
Every batter in the Sox starting lineup struck out at least once. McCann and Welington Castillo struck out three times. Garcia, Jimenez and Cordell each struck out twice.
Eleven of the first 12 outs came via strikeouts.
Green had six strikeouts in two innings. Cortes followed with seven in five, Jonathan Holder had two in the eighth and Chapman one in the ninth.
"Sometimes you have to tip your cap to their opener, he did a nice job and so did (Cortes)," Sox manager Rick Renteria said.
The Sox (34-35) were attempting to go over the .500 mark for the first time this season. Instead, they saw their three-game winning streak come to an end.
Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez (4-7) allowed five runs and six hits in six innings. He struck out four and walked two.
Four of the runs came in the fourth. Gleyber Torres hit a two-run homer in the inning.
"I feel good, I think it was just one bad inning," Lopez said. "That was it. I was commanding my pitches. I was locating my pitches where I wanted. It was just a bad inning.
"I don't know how Torres hit that homer, because that was a good pitch. That was a good changeup, low and he was able to hit it. I just tip my cap to him."
Renteria thought Lopez pitched better than the numbers indicated.
"He was hitting more of the spots he needed to hit," Renteria said. "He was commanding them. He had a couple of balls get through. I know we made some plays behind him, but at the end of the day I thought he really didn't get stressed so to speak.
"He gave us six innings, relatively efficiently. Again the numbers didn't look good. Yeah, we lost the ballgame, but there's hope for this young man. He's going to be pretty good. Our patience and his patience to get over the hump are going to be very very important. I'm not giving up on him."
Renteria and Castillo were ejected in the eighth after a 2-1 pitch by Sox reliever Thyago Vieira to Clint Frazier was called a ball.
Castillo argued with home plate umpire Phil Cuzzi, who then ejected him. Renteria picked up the discussion and was ejected for the fourth time this season.
"(Castillo) thought that was a good pitch, Phil disagreed," Renteria said. "He's behind the plate doing his job."
The Sox scored four runs in the eighth, with three coming on McCann's homer, to cut the deficit to 7-4. But the Yankees scored a run in the ninth and held on for the win.
"Do I think a game like tonight reminds us we're supposed to be in a rebuilding mode? No," McCann said. "We still expect to win, and we're going to show up (Sunday) with that mentality."

Kardinia Park for Footscray in years that end in a 5
Started by Caveman, Jul 18 2015 12:25 PM
Good record
#1 Caveman
Arthur Olliver
Location:Niddrie
Years that end in a 5 have been quite good to Footscray at Kardinia Park (as opposed to years that end in other numbers- very different story)
2005 - Loss by 35 points
1995 - Victory by 15 points
1975 - Victory by 8 points
1965 - Lost by 2 points
1955 - Lost by 12 points
Corio Oval
1935 - No game there that year
The win in 1975 occurred a week after the Neil Sachse tragedy.
The win in 1985 can be seen here on Footscray Games in the Footscray Tube. Some of the 1st and 4th quarters of that game.
Of the defeats none were thrashings.
Well, we had no luck in Geelong this year, but today we beat the Magpies, and now I'm beginning to feel a bit optimistic about our chances of reaching the finals. With Essendon, Melbourne (surely lightning won't strike us twice...) and Brisbane still to come, a spot in the eight seems ours to lose. Let's see!
If we do reach the finals, it would be a very special year for me, as I decided to part with some of my hard earned money and get a membership (the one that doesn't get come with any tickets, obviously), so maybe, who knows, before each game Luke Beveridge goes all sentimental and says, "now listen lads, let's win this for all our members over in the Antipodes, they have to get up in the middle of the night to listen to our matches", maybe that's why we're playing so well!
The reason that I brought this up is that, because I bought my membership before the season began, my name was apparently put on a "Wall of Honor" at Whitten Oval. Do any of you know about this wall? If so, could any of you take a picture of the spot where my name is and e-mail it to me? I'll probably never get go to West Footscray, Vic., so it would mean a lot to me. Caveman knows my name, you can ask him if you want!
Footscray forever!
Good to learn that Luke Beveridge and the boys are considering keen overseas fans from Europe like yourself Lisbon who are listening in at those weird hours in the middle of the night by playing an ATTACKING, GET THE BALL INTO THE FORWARD LINE QUICKLY brand of football, not the "ring a ring a rosy' style that some teams keep persisting with.
I will get over there asap and have a look for you. I have just been extremely busy of late, hopefully a bit more time available this week.
Thanks, Caveman, this means quite a lot to me. And another finals campaign for Bob Murphy or Matt Boyd, they certainly deserve it!
Hi again Lisbon- when I was last at the club I did take a photo of the wall with a list of names on it.
Yet sorry to mention this but unfortunately it appears that you are not there on it at this point.
I will get the image across asap.

This is an interesting topic, Caveman because I recently paid a visit to Kardinia Park with two very good friends and fellow footy history lovers. I think we were all impressed with the size of the stadium down there and what appears to be a huge development taking place. Visited the Geelong museum and spoke at length to one of the staff. They certainly have a good museum under way.
Interesting about Footscray's lack of success at Geelong over the years. The actual ground at Geelong seems very similar to the Western Oval in both it's length and width, and being only an hour apart up the highway you would wonder why it was such a bogie ground. Maybe because Geelong's most successful years may have coincided with some of Footscray's less successful years.
Anyway, Caveman I had a very enjoyable day there with two top blokes who love their footy.

Blokes who love footy history are always good blokes
That is what I have l discovered through the years.
Those who don't care about the history of their club (or the game) I tend to find are not likely to be knocking on the door of MENSA.

I have a good friend who lived in Geelong (he was a Geelong supporter - he's gone elsewhere these days) and each time Footscray and Geelong played at Geelong I would go down there for a fine weekend of eating and drinking good wine. We also went to the game of course. In all my years of doing that I didn't once see the Doggies win. There were two or three times when he called during the week before and say he couldn't make it for some reason. Every one of those times Footscray won - it's if he had a sixth sense about these things. Oh well.
The " tens" decade hasn't been as good as the "seventies" for us at Geelong. Bob Rose and Terry Wallace the only two coaches to have regular success there. Micky Malthouse has one win there, Allan Joyce also had one win. Terry Wheeler has two close defeats and his own sacking after an 88 point defeat.
They are still increasing the capacity of Kardinia Park, so there will be more chances in the future (unlike Subiaco which will be all over in under 2 years) to rectify our recent record of no luck down there.

Insta-Reaction: Outlander, Season 4, Episode 11
Posted in Outlander	by Lisa @ Bookshelf Fantasies
Season 4 is here! My intention is to write an "Insta-Reaction" post for each episode soon after viewing, to share some initial thoughts, questions, reactions — you name it.
I may be talking about events from this episode, other episodes, and/or the book series… so if you'd rather not know, now's your chance to walk away!
Outlander, episode 411: "If Not For Hope"
The official synopsis (via Starz):
Jamie, Claire and Young Ian embark on a long uncertain journey to rescue Roger, while Brianna forges a friendship with one of Jamie's old friends as she fends off Aunt Jocasta's attempts to secure a husband.
My take:
Major plot points:
Brianna is staying at River Run with Aunt Jocasta while Claire and Jamie search for Roger.
Jocasta is trying to find a suitable husband for Brianna.
Lord John visits River Run and begins a friendship with Brianna.
Claire, Jamie, and Young Ian continue to follow Roger's trail.
Claire and Jamie soothe their hurt feelings and end the distance between them.
Roger is still captive, and finally arrives at the Mohawk village.
Insta-reaction:
Gotta admit it — I didn't love this episode. I didn't hate it either. I guess this is more of a move-the-story-along episode, where events proceed but there's not a huge impact.
Okay, so what happened?
The bulk of the episode is spent on Brianna. She's settled in at River Run, drawing portraits and worrying about poor Roger. Aunt Jocasta is not one to just let things be. She's aware that Brianna is pregnant, and having an illegitimate child is not something she wants for her niece. So, she takes it upon herself to round up a bunch of eligible bachelors and invite them to a dinner party, hoping one of the gentlemen will be a suitable match for Brianna. Brianna, obviously, wants nothing to do with her scheming aunt's matchmaking.
Lord John is one of the guests, and is most chivalrous toward Brianna. Later that night, she stumbles upon John in an intimate encounter with another of the male guests. (Dude, why are you doing it in the pantry? Couldn't you at least have found a hidden place outside the house or something?) The next morning, Phaedre informs Brianna that her aunt wants her downstairs because Mr. Forbes, yet another of the party guests, is going to ask her to marry him. Brianna slips outside, asks John to join her, and basically tries to blackmail him into marrying her.
Although John's not willing to marry her, his heart melts a bit when Brianna tells him about Stephen Bonnet, the rape, and that she doesn't know who the baby's father is. She wants to wait for Roger to return, but she can't be sure he'll still want her when he learns that she may be carrying another man's baby. (Clearly, Brianna doesn't know Roger as well as she should!) Lord John talks to Brianna about his feelings for Jamie, and also about his admiration for Claire. Ultimately, he saves her from Jocasta and Forbes's plans by announcing that he and Brianna are engaged.
Let's see, what else? There are some random scenes of Marsali, Fergus, and Murtagh, and I'm sorry, but the Regulator business is too boring for words. Murtagh and Fergus do manage to track down Stephen Bonnet, but Murtagh himself is arrested before they can get away with Bonnet.
Maybe this was only a "meh" episode for me because of the limited Claire and Jamie time. Yes, Brianna's story is the most dramatic at the moment, but there's only so much time I want to spend with her at the expense of our true power couple. Claire and Jamie are at odds, each carrying around a ton of hurt and guilt. Ian tries to get them to patch things up, and eventually, they do. Claire reassures Jamie that he is a good father, that he is a good man, and that she loves him. They both are blaming themselves for the mistakes they've made that led to this point, but at least they've reestablished their bond and will continue on their hunt for Roger together.
Roger only gets a couple of scenes at the beginning and end of the episode. He ends up at the Mohawk's village after weeks (months?) of travel, and is immediately put through some sort of gauntlet where everyone gets to take a swing at him. Welcome to your new home, Roger!
Insta-reaction wrap-up:
Like I said, I was fairly underwhelmed. I didn't appreciate the attempted fake-out at the beginning, as the episode opens with Roger in a hot shower. Aha, he went back to the 20th century after all! Like anyone would really think that — not at all convincing. Of course, the shower is just a fantasy, and he didn't go anywhere. I'm a little annoyed that the show didn't let us know whether he walked away from the stones himself or was captured before he could attempt to time-travel. I hope they make this clear later on — it's an important distinction that shows Roger's frame of mind, and I believe it should not have been left so ambiguous.
I'm not clear on why Jocasta felt such a need to marry Brianna off. If they need a suitable cover story for the sake of her social position (and that of the baby), why not just say she's a widow? Or that her husband was lost on a perilous voyage, so if he shows up later, it's all good. Bree doesn't need a husband to care for her — she has her parents, and for that matter, she could have a home at River Run for as long as needed. Why the rush, Auntie?
And ugh, that dinner party "game" Brianna invents, invoking psychology and the interpretation of dreams. I mean, what the hell was that? I was afraid for a moment that they would actually go around the table and make us listen to each individual person's response to Bree's question, which could have taken up the rest of the episode and then some. So weird. So unnecessary.
Ah, Lord John. Always a lovely man. It's fun to see him with Brianna. As I mentioned before, he was being AWFULLY indiscreet, which is tremendously out of character for him. BUT, at least this is an improvement over the presentation in the book, where Brianna catches him sneaking back to the house from the plantation slave quarters where, it is implied, he had a tryst with one of Jocasta's slaves. Thank goodness the show didn't go down that problematic path.
It's nice to see Fergus and Marsali, but I wish they had something to actually do.
The Jamie/Claire reconciliation was sweet and emotional (oh, the tears in Jamie's eyes!), but there just wasn't enough of them to satisfy me. They're still the main characters of this show, and episodes that are light on Jamie and Claire feel like a cheat.
I do like how Young Ian's attire keeps getting little bits of ornamentation that show how much he's been interacting with the Cherokee and becoming comfortable with them. Between the armband, the fringed boots, and the hanging knife sheath around his neck, he's really picking up bits and pieces, which I think show that he's developed a friendship with the Cherokee near Fraser's Ridge. And now we learn that he speaks some Mohawk too. That's not going to be important down the road, is it?
Only two episodes left! Here's hoping the remaining too have a little more oomph that this one.

Outlander, episode 410: "The Deep Heart's Core"
Jamie and Claire keep secrets from one another as they try to help Brianna process her recent trauma. But the secrets they keep cause a bigger familial rift once they are revealed.
Brianna and Jamie develop a deeper understanding of one another.
Claire offers Brianna a choice about whether to keep or end the pregnancy.
POOR ROGER is dragged around for the entire episode by a group of Mohawk.
The truth comes out — Brianna finds out what Jamie did to Roger, and is PISSED.
Jamie, Claire, and Ian set out to find Roger.
Brianna tells Claire that she's keeping the baby and staying in the 18th century.
Murtagh takes Brianna to River Run to stay with Aunt Jocasta while the rest of the family searches for Roger.
Kudos to Sophie Skelton, who gives a powerful performance as Brianna, really selling Bree's emotional reactions as they run the gamut from despair to the first hint of healing, then rage and a step into the unknown.
First off, the early scene between Jamie and Bree is lovely. Jamie lets Bree know that he knows about the rape. She blames herself for not fighting harder, and despite Jamie stating over and over that it's not her fault, she really can't let go of her guilt — until Jamie physically restrains her to show her that she could not have prevented what happened, no matter how hard she struggled, and that she likely could have ended up dead if she'd tried to fight. Bree then surprises Jamie by asking him about the aftermath of his rape. Claire had told Brianna about all that happened at Wentworth. Bree wants to know if killing his rapist helped Jamie heal. He assures her that time, not revenge, is the key.
Life seems to be settling down to normal at the Ridge, with the family spending time together and enjoying the beauty of living there. Claire offers Brianna a choice — she can terminate the pregnancy by surgical abortion if that's Bree's wish. She doesn't want Brianna to be forced into anything, but lets her know that if she wants to end the pregnancy, they need to do it soon. On the other hand, if Bree wants to go back to her own time, she can do that as well — but again, would have to leave now. Claire knows that it's possible to travel through time while pregnant, but they don't know if it's possible to go with a baby. What if Brianna tried to travel but the baby got left behind, or even worse, got lost somewhere in time? If Brianna hopes to go back, it's got to be now.
The truth about Roger finally comes out, when Lizzie tells Brianna that she knows what happened, and Brianna, horrified, realizes that Lizzie believes Roger is the man who raped her. When she learns that Jamie beat the man he believed to be her rapist, all hell breaks loose. Brianna is righteously furious. Jamie is upset by his anxious, but upset as well that Claire knew that Bonnet was the rapist and didn't tell him. After Jamie beat Roger, Ian sold him to the Mohawk. They were just traveling through, probably headed back to their lands in upstate New York. Who knows where Roger could be by then, after a week has already gone by?
POOR ROGER. He spends most of this episode being dragged behind a horse, walking all day, every day, at first alongside another prisoner who eventually dies on the road. Roger's face looks awful. Oh, Jamie, you are a scary man when you're angry. Roger eventually gets a chance to escape his captors, and runs right into a buzzing circle of stones. At the episode's end, we see him holding the gems he got from Stephen Bonnet, debating whether to go through the stones, or stay and try to find his way back to Brianna.
Meanwhile, back on the Ridge, Jamie and Ian vow to find Roger for Brianna. Brianna insists that Claire go with them, which makes sense. If he saw Jamie and Ian coming, he'd probably run and never look back! Claire is a familiar face, and what's more, there's a good chance he'll need a doctor. Claire doesn't want to leave Bree. It may be months before they return. She may not be back in time to deliver the baby. Bree is determined, so they come up with a different plan: Murtagh will take Brianna to River Run, to stay with Aunt Jocasta, who'll care for her and keep her safe.
Jamie vows to Brianna that he won't return without Roger. Yikes. That's a big promise to make.
A really powerful episode. The father-daughter scene between Jamie and Claire, in which they discuss her rape and Jamie helps her in a very Jamie way, is just full of beauty and emotion. You really feel that these two have a connection, that there's a growing trust and love between them… which makes it all the harder later on when Bree, in her fury over Roger's treatment, basically tells Jamie that her REAL father (Frank) was a good man, and Jamie is just a brute. Ouch.
I mean, yes, he did do something terrible to the man she loves, but in Jamie's defense, he really had no idea. A sucky situation all around, fed by terrible communication (which is a recurring theme in this particular book in the Outlander series.)
Every one was just so good in this episode. Claire didn't have as many flashy moments, but I did love how we got to see Claire's determination to give Brianna a choice, and how she presented her with the option to go back to her own time, even though it would break Claire's heart.
The scene between Aunt Jocasta and Murtagh made me wonder if all the fan speculation about the two of them ending up together might really be correct! Either that, or the show is just playing with us all.
And how adorable was Ian getting down on one knee to offer to marry Brianna? Gotta love Young Ian.
Claire and Brianna reciting a list of 20th century foods and conveniences they miss was pretty great too. Peanut butter and jelly! And of course, aspirin per the doctor's orders.
ARGH. Only three episodes left this season! Where did the time go?

Colossal magnetoresistance induced in pure lanthanum manganite
(Nanowerk News) Colossal magnetoresistance is a property with practical applications in a wide array of electronic tools including magnetic sensors and magnetic RAM. New research from a team including Carnegie's Maria Baldini, Ho-Kwang "Dave" Mao, Takaki Muramatsu, and Viktor Struzhkin successfully used high-pressure conditions to induce colossal magnetoresistance for the first time in a pure sample of a compound called lanthanum manganite, LaMnO3. It is published by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The lanthanum manganite samples under less than 32 gigapascals, 32 gigapascals, and more than 32 gigapascals of pressure, both with and without a magnetic field. Thirty-two gigapascals equals about 316,000 times normal atmospheric pressure. (Image: Maria Baldini)
Metals are compounds that are capable of conducting the flow of electrons that makes up an electric current. Non-metals cannot conduct such a current. Magnetoresistance is the capacity of compounds to be changed from electrically resistant to electrically conductive depending on the presence of an external magnetic field. The ability to switch on and off from metal to non-metal is what makes the phenomenon so useful for electronic and spintronic devices.
Manganite compounds, such as the LaMnO3 studied by the research team, are particularly promising when it comes to colossal magnetoresistance, because the change from insulator to metal is several orders of magnitude stronger than in other types of compounds. But controlling and understanding it has remained largely elusive. It has been induced before in chemically doped manganite samples, but not in a pure one until this study.
The transition from insulator to metal in LaMnO3 takes place when the room temperature compound is placed under about 316,000 times normal atmospheric pressure (32 gigapascals). What the team was able to demonstrate by examining LaMnO3 across a range of temperatures and pressures, is that under pressure LaMnO3 separates into two distinct phases, one metallic and one non-metallic. The chemical structure of the non-metallic phase is distorted, and the metallic phase is not.
The insulator-to-metal transition occurs when the metallic phase exceeds the non-metallic one by a certain threshold. This is confirmed by theoretical predictions. But the existence of a period when the two phases are mixed together is the crucial ingredient for inducing colossal magnetoresistance. The phenomenon occurs when the competition between the two phases is at its maximum. The physical separation of the two phases and the interplay between the deformed structure and the non-deformed structures is the key to driving the colossal magnetoresistance.
"The ability to induce colossal magnetoresistance by applying pressure to a pure, un-doped sample is a major step forward in understanding the physics underlying the phenomenon and to potentially harnessing it for practical purposes," Baldini said.

It's time for some fun fun fun at Fox's Family Fun Park. There are plenty of animals to see and exciting rides to take in this small, charming town, as long as you can ignore the hungry alien that is devouring everything and everyone around it. Presented as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Bunk Puppets' Stark and Dormy thrusts its audience into a science-fiction/horror storyline told almost entirely through astounding shadow puppetry.
While the puppetry is fascinating in its own right, what makes this show even more interesting is that we are able to witness the behind the scenes antics of puppeteers and actors James Pratt and Christian Bagin. Rather than placing a barrier under the screen, Bunk Puppets have left it unobstructed so that we can see all the puppets and props on the floor ready to be used. It is a rare glimpse in how these puppets are constructed and how they drastically change in appearance once they are held behind the screen. It's quite incredible knowing what the alien creature is made from to then see its menacing form in action.
It is also an opportunity to appreciate the speed in which Pratt and Bagin must switch between characters or scenes and the time between playing the puppets and then portraying the humans of the town, highlighting the skill and concentration the two have. Their audience interactions within the contexts of the world they are creating further immerses us into the plot and strengthens our attachment to the oddball of characters, however some more character development and exploration of the relationships would assist in a stronger emotional response during the climatic conclusion.
As the story escalates, so too do the special effects and the finale is a brilliant moment in theatre that has you feeling like you are caught in the middle of the panic and chaos that falls upon this small town. The technical feats extend beyond the lighting design with the sound design constantly working alongside the story to set each scene and build the tension as needed.
Stark and Dormy is not your typical laugh-a-minute comedy festival show but what it is, is an impeccably crafted piece of theatre that is bound to capture the attention and engage the imagination of all who see it.

Q: Lie derivatives: book or references What are recommended references for Lie algebra, with a focus on the calculus with Lie derivatives of functions?
I refer to the case, where the Lie derivative is reduced to the directional derivative. The following definition is from the lecture on Nonlinear systems of H. K. Khalil
https://www.egr.msu.edu/~khalil/NonlinearSystems/Sample/Lect_22.pdf
This is an excerpt:

$$\dot x= f(x)+g(x)u, \ \ \ \ y=h(x),$$
where $f$, $g$, and $h$ are sufficiently smooth in a domain $D$. $f :D\to\mathbb R^n$ and $g:D\to\mathbb R^n$ are called vector fields on $D$.
$$\dot y=\frac{\partial h}{\partial x}[f(x)+g(x)u]=:L_fh(x)+L_gh(x)u.$$
$$L_fh(x) =\frac{\partial h}{\partial x}f(x)$$
is the Lie derivative of $h$ with respect to $f$ or along $f$.

A: I recommend Boothby's book for a mathematically-oriented, yet fairly clear presentation. Check out Isidori's book too if you need to see applications in nonlinear control.
