When Israel was born in 1948, there was much joy outside the Arab world. Jews both in Israel and around the world rejoiced, but in addition so did most governments and people in the industrialized world. "They made the desert bloom" was the watchword when Jews cultivated what was then a barren land. The kibbutz was a popular kind of work on collective farms, and democratic socialism was the norm in a society that surprisingly enough was mostly secular. Problems arose later after wars that were forced on the tiny state, and the country expanded its borders into territories formerly inhabited only by Palestinians. Let's not forget, though, that Israelis are today not a unified people where everyone thinks alike, any more than are Americans nowadays. The ultra-religious including the Hasidic sects have grown in population and influence. As a result there is conflict between the religious Jews and the secular majority, the former imposing its will by its voting bloc in the Knesset, or parliament.
Two camps exist to this day: the ultra-religious have been able to ban public buses on the Sabbath and to run Mea Shearim, a neighborhood in Jerusalem, as though it were an independent state. Their influence is considered undemocratic by the secular society. You could barely imagine that a secular Jewish woman would get together with an ultra-orthodox man in marriage, and for the most part the two groups are almost never romantically involved. In the rare cases when they are, however, the sparks fly within the families, which is good, because without sparks, there is no drama.
Now Avi Nesher, who has an impressive résumé as producer, writer, actor and director including his direction of such movies as "The Matchmaker" (teenager's relationship with a matchmaker who survived the Holocaust) and "Turn Left at the End of the World" (a family from India moves into a desert neighborhood in southern Israel). His "The Other Story" is an involving and often riveting story featuring two plots that merge seamlessly, the principal one being the more absorbing tale while the other is more melodramatic, even off-the-wall. Both plots center on women who are rebelling against their upbringings. Anat Abadi (Joy Rieger) is your typical product of dysfunction having seen his father, Yonatan (Yuval Segal), a psychologist, all too rarely since her parents divorced and he moved to the U.S. Nor is love lost between Yonatan and his successful real estate agent wife Tali (Maya Dagan). He returns to Tali after getting an urgent message: their daughter, who has thrown off her secular upbringing and is now Orthodox, is set to marry Shachar (Nathan Goshen), also a drug-addicted secular musician who introduced his fiancé to drugs and now denies that he is an addict.
At the same time, Shlomo (Sasson Gabai) is playing host to his son Yonatan. Both are psychologists. Shlomo is treating a couple on the verge of breaking up. Rami (Maayan Blum) accuses his wife Sari (Avigail Harari) of threatening the safety of their young son Izi, as a member of a feminist cult given over to worshiping idols and having occult ceremonies that recall Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut." She ultimately will rely on the testimony of both Yonatan and Anat regarding both a kidnapping charge and their opinion that the occult ceremonies are not endangering her son's safety.
"The Other Story" is the name of a song, but it refers as well to the other story of both Yonatan, who has been involved in criminal dealings in the U.S., and the situations of the two young women rebelling against the conformity their families represent and, on a greater level, the impositions of the patriarchal society. The principal conflict, though, pits young Anat against the horror that her parents feel at the idea that their daughter has voluntarily upended her free life to become an Orthodox Jew. This conflict mirrors that troubles that all of Israel goes through nowadays, the religious Jews generally siding with their current prime minister in favor of expanding the country into the West Bank, while the secular Jews generally favor a peace with the Palestinians based on two societies living side by side.
The film is welcome both as a primer to people of all religions who are open to educating themselves to the schisms within such a small country, and an indictment of those who side with one point of view to such an extent that they cannot understand the rationality of the other. As such, it mirrors the split in our own country between Republican and Democrats, right and left, and splits within the parties as well.

Sociologists like Robert Putnam's whose book "Bowling Alone" deals with the deterioration of community life in America have their theories seconded just this month of April by Jonah Goldberg of National Review magazine and David Brooks of the New York Times. They assert that our society has become atomized: that with the proliferation of TV channels, the indulging of hundreds of Facebook friends whom you may never even see and speak with in person, leave us lonely and depressed. During the hippie days of the late sixties and early seventies some people tried a different way of live in communes as did the utopian communities in the 19th century. If you want to see genuine community life today, however, as a contrast to current theories, you could find it among Hasidic Jews and in many cases ultra-Orthodox Jews, who live in insular societies, teach fellow Jews or serve as merchants to their own religious folks, and rarely mix in the outside world. If this sounds claustrophobic to you, remember that these spiritual and highly religious people have with few exceptions maintained their insularity and so far as what outside societies can see they are happy. They are not atomized.
But what about the few renegades who cannot abide by such restricted lives? Think of Deborah Feldman whose book "Unorthodox: the Scandalous Rejection of Hasidic Roots," led to an enraged response among the people she left when she moved to New York's Greenwich Village. Now the Orthodox community we find in Chilean director Sebastián Lelio's film probably seems to us in the audience to be not only closely knit but pretty pleased with the way they live. One clue to their well being is that only one woman chooses to break out of the London neighborhood and move to New York to pursue a career as a hip photographer . She's still Jewish, but she's not about ever to return to her roots where she would be expected to marry whether the relationship is loveless or not and to have sex every Friday night among other rituals, whether she was in the mood of not.
In "Disobedience," we are given a close examination of three people who grew up as friends but whose lives are changed probably forever when one woman leaves the nest and is shunned by others in the congregations. As a bonus, we also see services in the synagogue, listening to the harmonic tones of a choir and the wisdom of two sermons. As a special treat we are in the presence of
three special performers, also directed with a crescendo of power that takes us from quie t talks around the Sabbath table to a verbal explosion that show how the repressions built up for months and years are sudden let out.
After Rav Kruschka, the rabbi of a London ultra-Orthodox congregation drops dead while giving a sermon about our fundamental choice to live like the angels or like the beasts, his daughter Ronit (Rachel Weisz), who had left the congregation and her immediate family some time back to pursue a secular career in New York, returns for the funeral. Some, like her childhood friend Dovid (Alessandro Nivola) are not pleased to see her and greet her with a mechanical "I hope you have a long life." On the other hand, Dovid's wife Esti (Rachel McAdams) is overjoyed. During the time that Ronit stays in the home of Dovid and Esti, the sexual attraction between her and Esti is revived, hinting that Ronit may have been pressured out of the community when some kissing between the two women was discovered. Since you can't easily defeat nature, the two carry on but are caught kissing once again by neighbors (imagine if they witnessed an entire, graphic lovemaking scene between the two women)! By contrast Esti, whose sexual scene with her husband involves no foreplay, the two covered by a blanket. Esti must choose to remain in her marriage, and in effect whether to remain at all with the greater family of religious men and women.
The film is shown without flashbacks but rather with a conventional style that belies the unconventional manner of the two women. As a retired teacher, I was particularly impressed with the lovely classes taught by both Esti in a religious school and Dovit, around a table where sections of the bible are interpreted.
The conclusion is both heartbreaking and wonderful, a testament to the solid performances of all three principals, with scenes from the choir at the religious service so enchanting that Gentiles in the audience may wish to convert.
With this film, director Lelio's place among the great Latin-American directors is assured, a man whose "A Fantastic Woman," dealing with a transgender waitress who works as a night-club singer, confirms his predilection for films with renegades.

THY FATHER'S CHAIR – movie review
THY FATHER'S CHAIR
No Permits Produktions
Director: Àlex Lora, Antonio Tibaldi,
Cast: Abraham, Shraga, Hanan
Screened at: Critics' link, NYC, 3/23/18
Opens: In Theaters Oct. 13, 2017. Available on VOD March 30, 2018.
When you really dislike a film, perhaps the worst insult you can throw its way is that "it's like watching paint dry." How about a film that's about a crew's cleaning out a filthy house in Brooklyn? It's tempting to say the same, but Spaniard Àlex Lora and Australian Antonio Tibali deliver a documentary that at first appears like an instructional film for house cleaning trainees. However given the rich conversations that they evoke while at the same time avoiding interviews, often the worst part of documentaries, they give us a rich, fly-on-the-wall look at two brothers, Abraham and Shraga, who worship in a Hasidic synagogue though not quite Haredim themselves. Whether we come out of the brief seventy-five minutes understanding why this pair have filled their inherited home with the detritus of years is debatable. I'm guessing that since their mom and dad died, they did not want to lose memories of their beloved parents. This may explain why they kept the books intact, though some were not picked up in years (a set was upside down). But why keep stuff that they picked up during the past months and years including trash bags from the supermarket, bedbug-infested mattresses, crumbling newspapers, and sour milk, plus some strange mixture in a pot, all of which smelled to high heaven (perhaps not the best word to describe it) as did their rooms?
In fact the twins, especially the more highlighted Abraham (two minutes younger than Shraga), call a professional clean-up crew when their upstairs tenants threaten a rent strike, complaining about the stench and maybe about the pereginating roaches that they would inevitably inherit if they had not already been so visited. Like the stereotypical little old ladies who fill their homes with cats, Abraham and Shraga have the neshama to open their abode to the lucky felines, who did not seem to mind the filth and stench at all. In fact in the movie's most ironic scene, one of the nameless kitties spends her entire screen time cleaning herself on one of the several mattresses that the brothers had collected.
Abraham sports a huge gray beard and speaks English throughout without a trace of a Yiddish accent (there's a touch of Brooklynese in some of the words, though), even chatting with his brother in English. He is of course fluent in Hebrew, delivering an all-too-brief, mellifluous concert from a Jewish scroll. Yet while Hanan, the Israeli head of the cleaning agency, professes his atheism, he is probably be surprised that Abraham, with all the trapping of Orthodoxy, labeled himself agnostic. He uses the word "God" two or three times, a practice considered taboo outside the synagogue by Orthodox Jews, who refer to the Deity instead as "Hashem" or "Adoshem."
You of course know the directors from their movie "Godka Circa," a ten-minute look at one Alifa, who looks up at the Somai sky, contemplating her life as a shepherdess, and knowing that some time soon, her life will change. The theme is obviously present in "Thy Father's Chair," since the brothers are about to embark on a new phase of their lives.
Hanan, who invades the house, finding the toilet packed with schmutz (probably not kept so in remembrance of the occupants' parents), works with an a group of understanding Black employees, who take a week, maybe more, turning out a spacious abode that portends a new beginning for the brothers. Or does it?

Marlins ink historic deal with black chamber, NAACP
Robert Beatty— March 13, 2009
MIAMI – The Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce and the Miami-Dade NAACP on Friday announced a historic agreement with the Florida Marlins that would guarantee contracts for black-owned businesses during the construction and operation of the proposed $515 million ballpark in Miami.
The announcement, which took place Friday morning, Feb. 13 at Jungle Island in Miami, included Bill Diggs, president of the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce; Bishop Victor T. Curry, president of the Miami-Dade NAACP; David Samson, president of the Florida Marlins and other community leaders.
The purpose of the agreement is to promote racial diversity in the construction and everyday business activity of the Marlins in the new ballpark.
The Florida Marlins have agreed to provide black-owned businesses with 15 percent of the Marlins private contribution in construction contracts.
The team will also seek to provide 15 percent of its contracts for products and services each year in its operations to black-owned businesses. Businesses that would be included in the agreement run the gamut from construction, to janitorial, to legal, financial and accounting services.
Also, the Marlins reaffirmed their commitment to assist with the educational programs both for adults and youth in the community, and to work with community-based organizations and grassroots organizations to provide assistance to them.
The Miami City Commission is scheduled for a final vote on the stadium deal on Thursday, March 19, and the Miami-Dade County Commission is set to vote on it March 23.
"We wanted to see if there was a way with the building of this ballpark and the operation of this ball club, that we found a way to be the beginning of changing the way people act and the way people think," Samson said. "When corporations look at what we've done, they will say, 'Yes, we can."
"It's a good day for us," Diggs told the South Florida Times before the press conference.
Diggs was joined by his board chair, Eric Knowles, who said, "We as a black community have made our presence heard and seen. And moving forward, we're here to be reckoned with. We're not just here to play in the backyard or the back scene; we're on major league fields."
The Community Compact and Agreement between the NAACP, MDCC and the Florida Marlins calls for the baseball organization to invest roughly "$120 million of private capital during the design and construction of the stadium (if and when approved by the City of Miami and Miami Dade County), and additional funds generated by cost overruns in the construction of the project."
On Thursday, March 12, the city commission unanimously approved the expansion of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency district, a key factor in gaining the support of City Commissioner Michelle Spence-Jones.
Spence-Jones has launched her re-election campaign. She recently gave birth and cut her maternity leave short to announce that her vote hinged on the organization's investing millions of dollars in her district.
Spence-Jones had said that she was ensuring that promises made in 2007 to include Overtown in Miami and Miami-Dade's plans to infuse downtown Miami with $3 billion worth of public works projects – along with the proposed ballpark for the Marlins – were kept.
Following the city's March 12 vote, it is likely that Spence-Jones will vote in favor of the new stadium. If the votes by both the city and the county are favorable, the agreement between the Marlins, the NAACP and the chamber guarantee black-owned businesses the opportunity to participate in the design and construction of the complex.
"When we started on this project a little over nine months ago or so, my board had the presence of mind to talk about how important it was to make sure that Miami-Dade is an inclusive community," Diggs said. "The role and responsibility of our chamber of commerce is to promote the economic development and advancement of black-owned businesses in this community,"
In addition to including black-owned businesses in the building of the stadium, the 14-point agreement will provide "internships, mentorships, educational opportunities, and tutorial programs in partnership with the chamber, [NAACP] branch and other local organizations."
In an effort to ensure accountability, the Marlins will provide to the chamber and NAACP quarterly reports "showing the utilization of African American owned businesses and workers."
The agreement also includes provisions for ex-felons who "have demonstrated a commitment to leading a productive life."
Samson said his efforts over the past seven years to keep the Marlins in South Florida have been "the bane of my existence."
Being a reflection of the community's diversity, however, is a goal Samson said the two-time World Series champions embrace.
"There is a ranking for diversity, and the Marlins are number one in terms of front office and on field coaching, etc.," Samson said. The agreement with the Chamber and the NAACP is an extension of that philosophy, he said.
Curry encouraged black people to increase their attendance at the Marlins' games from the current 3 percent to a rate that reflects greater support for the organization.
"I want to congratulate and commend David Samson along with his professional team of negotiators… to work to have a real conversation about race, about expectations and about equity," said Curry, a former Marlins season ticket holder who said he plans to become a season ticket holder again.

Biografia

Nipote del re di Napoli Ferrante I, Giovanna era figlia dello sfortunato Enrico d'Aragona marchese di Gerace, la cui morte per avvelenamento nel 1478 fu cantata da Joanni Maurello, e di Polissena Ventimiglia dei marchesi di Geraci. Nel 1497 andò in sposa al secondo duca di Amalfi don Alfonso Todeschini Piccolomini (a sua volta nipote del papa Pio III) di cui rimase vedova poco tempo dopo il matrimonio. L'aiuto nell'amministrazione dei suoi beni, prestatogli dal maggiordomo di corte, il patrizio napoletano Antonio Beccadelli di Bologna, si trasformò in un legame affettivo: i due si sposarono clandestinamente ed ebbero due figli. La notizia del matrimonio venne tuttavia conosciuta dal fratello di Giovanna, il cardinale Luigi d'Aragona, il quale, disapprovando il legame per motivi di rango sociale, fece uccidere la sorella e i suoi tre figli, secondo la tradizione dopo averli fatti rinchiudere nella torre dello Ziro di Amalfi; fece inoltre assassinare, pugnalato a morte da sicari, lo sposo morganatico che era riuscito a espatriare nel ducato di Milano.

La vicenda venne così riassunta da Matteo Bandello:

Opere ispirate alla vicenda di Giovanna d'Aragona
La tragica vicenda ha ispirato molte opere letterarie fra le quali, oltre alla novella del Bandello, si ricordano:
 la novella contenuta nel Palazzo del piacere (titolo originale The Palace of Pleasure, 1566) di William Painter;
 la tragedia La duchessa di Amalfi (titolo originale The Duchess of Malfi) di John Webster, uno dei capolavori del Teatro elisabettiano rappresentato per la prima volta nel 1614;
 la tragedia Il maggiordomo della duchessa di Amalfi (titolo originale El mayordomo de la Duquesa Amalfi) di Lope de Vega, rappresentata per la prima volta nel 1618;
 il romanzo giallo Addio Miss Marple (titolo originale Sleeping Murder) di Agatha Christie, pubblicato postumo nel 1976, contiene una citazione tratta dalla Duchessa di Amalfi, una tragedia di John Webster.

Discendenza
Giovanna e il duca Alfonso I Piccolomini ebbero i seguenti figli:
Alfonso (1499-1559), duca di Amalfi e governatore imperiale della Repubblica di Siena dal 1529 al 1541;
Isabella, andò in sposa a Francesco Borgia, principe di Squillace;
Enrico, sposò Caterina Contarini.

Dopo la morte di Alfonso, Giovanna sposò clandestinamente Antonio Beccadelli di Bologna ed ebbe tre figli, dei quali si conoscono solo i nomi di Federico e Giovanna.

Intracerebral hematoma was experimentally produced by injection of arterial auto-blood into the area of the internal capsule with stereotaximetry in dogs. Forty-eight hours after injection of blood the hematoma was aspirated, the aspirated and the non-aspirated cases were followed electroencephalographically. EEG recording showed localized or generalized slow wave activity immediately after the intracerebral blood injection, which continued even after two months in non-aspirated cases. Marked decrease of the slow activity was observed shortly after aspiration and EEG returned to almost normal pattern after one week. According to the results, it was made clear that the exstirpation of blood clot was effective of the prevention of functional disturbance of nerve cells caused by intracerebral hematoma.

From what they have been telling me, I know that some left handed stitchers have great difficulty with their tapestry (needlepoint) stitching.
Nevertheless, I have written some "No Fuss Instructions for Left Handed Tent Stitch" that might solve the problem.
The diagrams are simply a mirror image of right handed diagrams and I see no reason why they can't be just as easy.
The ONLY difference is that the stitches will slope in the opposite direction from those by a right handed stitcher. There is nothing wrong with that; I don't believe there is a rule that says which way the stitches should slope. The only rule is that they should all slope the same way on one tapestry!
On the other hand (No pun… etc.etc) I have been encouraged and thanked by another left-hander who had struggled for years and then found my instructions solved all the problems.
You only have to ask. Email me if you would like a copy, and I will send you the diagrams free of charge.
But if American exhibition stitching intrigues you, we also have the original needlepoint stitching instructions from Anything Left Handed.
They are no longer printing them but we have their permission to make them available to you.
Email me if you would like a copy of these as well.
They look VERY complicated to me, which is why I looked for an easier way, but if you follow them, I believe your stitches will all slope the Correct Way.

Memory drug trialled in people with Down's syndrome
Health 11 April 2013
By Simon Makin
The first drug specifically designed to improve cognitive impairment in Down's syndrome is being tested in humans.
David Nutt, former drug policy adviser to the UK government, told delegates at the Festival of Neuroscience in London yesterday that he is collaborating with pharmaceutical company Roche in trials of a substance it developed, called RG1662.
RG1662 reverses the effects of a chemical messenger in the brain called GABA – a neurotransmitter that inhibits brain activity. The drug acts on a specific type of brain receptor found mostly in the hippocampus, a part of the brain involved in memory. It is thought that it will reduce excessive inhibition in the hippocampus, thought to underlie memory and learning problems commonly seen in people with Down's.
The study is currently assessing safety and tolerability of the drug in 33 adults with Down's, but researchers will also measure motor skills, reaction time and memory, and compare the results with those of people taking a placebo. The aim is to find appropriate doses to use in a full clinical trial, which Nutt says should happen this year.
Targeting GABA
Roche said in a statement that RG1662 may help people with Down's as it has "a unique pharmacology that enables the targeting of GABA over-activity mainly in brain systems important for cognition, learning and memory".
Luca Santarelli, head of neuroscience at Roche, hopes that the drug will enhance the communications skills of people with Down's "and ultimately help them have greater independence".
Nutt studied a similar drug in 2007 and found it blocked memory problems in people impaired by alcohol. "It didn't have any impact on whether you could stand straight, so people were still falling over, but they could remember everything," he says.
Meanwhile, another group tested the drug on a mouse model of Down's, finding that it normalised memory function (Journal of Psychopharmacology, doi.org/bxscgg). Unfortunately, the drug caused kidney problems, so development was halted. RG1662 does not appear to have this side effect.
Dai Stephens at the University of Sussex, UK, who helped pioneer this class of drug for treating memory problems in old age, cautions that there may be costs associated with the benefits, such as a degradation of memory from before the drug was taken. "I think that you would have some symptomatic changes – whether they would be therapeutically significant is an empirical question, but it is good someone is testing it."

Angel, the second in command of the leader of the dark Nephilim.
Angel turned around and took a decanter from her fridge. She poured a large wine glass full of deep red liquid and drank it slowly, not looking at the pitiful mortal whom she needed to catch Dana.
For she would catch her. And she would kill her. Then Daniel would be hers. Remarkable how blood cleared the brain, made anything possible. Daniel would be hers forever, no matter what Cain said.
Cain. A cold shiver ran along her spine at the thought of her father. She banged the now empty glass on the table with such force it shattered into pieces, splattering the last drops of blood everywhere.


Our moods are like a roller coaster going up and down. One moment we feel as if we're on cloud nine, but the next we're totally in the dumps. When we are happy, we tend to share the happiness with people around us. However, when we feel depressed, everyone has his or her own way of dealing with it.
For me , singing at a KTV with friends is the best way to get rid of my depression. By singing out loud, I express my emotions and pretend I am someone else. This has always done he trick for me. Many times, the songs I sang were so sad that I couldn't help but cry. But after I wiped away the tears, I found that my negative feelings were gone as well. There are many ways to keep depression at bay, but the point is to have a way of dealing with it when it sets in.
Whenever I recall my childhood, I remember how lonely it was since I am an only child. It is still fresh in my memory how every day when I returned home from school, I was all alone. The house seemed to be so big and empty because there was no one home but me. Before my parents got home from work, I'd kill time by playing with my toys.
As a way to keep me company, my father bought me a puppy for my tenth birthday. From then on , my little dog, Poko, enriched my life. He'd run up and jump on me as soon as I got home. Poko also seemed to understand me whenever I was in a bad mood. Though he is much older now and isn't as energetic as before, Poko will forever and always being my special friend.
When I recall my childhood memories, I remember the first summer I visited my grandparents. Since both of my parents worked, there was no one to care for my sister and me during the long summer vacation. So, we had to go stay with my grandparents at their farm in the country.

What separates people from animals is that human beings have morals. People should accept certain social restrictions. Because of these moral guidelines, society is able to function in an orderly manner. As for gender roles, men and women are biologically different, and therefore, the expected images of both sexes are also different.
The typical image of a man is brave and masculine, whereas females are sensitive and gentle. These images are products of human evolution. In other words, if we were to try to break down these barriers, it would be going against human nature. In addition, society might become more chaotic. Following set gender roles, with men acting like men and women like women, is definitely the rule we should abide by, just as we have done since the beginning of time.
Once in a while, I wish I had the magical powers to go back in time. If I could really do it, the one thing I would like to do is to see my grandfather.

Walking Out Special screening on October 9
September 20, 2017 / Oxford Film Festival
Oxford Film Festival will be showing Walking Out by Alex & Andrew Smith October 9th at Malco Oxford Commons, 206 Commonwealth Blvd, at 7pm with producer Brunson Green in attendance for a Q&A. Tickets may be purchased for $7 online at oxfordfilmfest.com or at the door for $12.
Based on award winning American short story, Walking Out tells a crisis story between father and son (starring Matt Bomer and Josh Wiggins) as they embark on a hunting trip and unexpectedly encounter a pack of grizzly bears. This thrilling film will be played at Malco Oxford Commons on October 9th at 7pm. Be sure to stay after for an opportunity to interact with our special guest and producer, Brunson Green, as he holds an open Q&A.
"Co-writers, co-directors and brothers Alex and Andrew J. Smith who outdo The Revenant for sincerity, depth and gorgeousness mount their tale with enough confidence to cut away from the action. Flashbacks to Cal's own stern father (a red-hatted Bill Pullman) situate the film on a battleground between impulsiveness and maturity," said Joshua Rothkopf, writer for Timeout.com.
"Between the excellent film and Q&A with the producer Brunson Green, I am sure this will be one of our can't miss screenings," said Melanie Addington, executive director of the Oxford Film Festival. "With our goal of fostering a presence of arts in the Oxford community, Malco Oxford Commons has and continues to play a pivotal role in this endeavor. We also appreciate the support of IFC Films for donating half the ticket sales to the festival."
IFC Films acquired Walking Out after its Sundance premiere and will be releasing the film theatrically nationwide and on VOD in early October. The film also features Bill Pullman as the grandfather, along with Alex Neustaedter and Lily Gladstone.
The Oxford Film Festival was founded in 2003 to bring exciting, new and unusual films (and the people who create them) to North Mississippi. The annual five-day festival screens short and feature-length films in both showcase and competition settings, including narrative and documentary features and shorts; Mississippi narratives, documentaries and music videos, and narrative, documentary, animated and experimental shorts. The festival is a 501c3 not-for- profit organization.
Tickets can be purchased at www.oxfordfilmfest.com or at the door on October 9.

Calgary's new bicycle report boasts a spike in the number of bike trips into downtown since its cycle track opened.
The Seventh Street S.W. track opened in June of last year.
Tom Thivener, the city's cycling co-ordinator, says before the track opened, about 250 people per day used that route to get into the core.
He says that stat — and another form the report showing the overall number of bike trips went up 26 per cent between 2007 and 2013 — helps support plans to expand the number of cycle tracks around the city.
"We are at that stage where we have a robust planning stage under way, we expect to come back to the committee, before council in April," said Thivener.
Thivener says there are plans to install a network of tracks so cyclists can get around Calgary easier.

Serotonin Hypothesis of Autism: Implications for Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Use During Pregnancy.
Autism Res. 2013 Mar 14;
Harrington RA, Lee LC, Crum RM, Zimmerman AW, Hertz-Picciotto I
Serotonin, a neurotransmitter found throughout the brain and body, has long been of interest in autism. Repeated findings of elevated platelet serotonin levels in approximately one third of children with autism has led some to believe that dysfunctional serotonin signaling may be a causal mechanism for the disorder. Because serotonin is critical to fetal brain development, concerns have arisen regarding prenatal exposure to substances that manipulate serotonin levels, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). This review examines evidence regarding the serotonin system and autism spectrum disorders (ASD), as well as what the literature has reported thus far on developmental effects of prenatal exposure to SSRIs. Possible mechanisms by which SSRIs could affect the fetus during pregnancy and clinical implications are also discussed. Though the majority of studies conducted in infants and children suggest prenatal exposure to SSRIs does not affect neurodevelopment, interpretation must be tempered given small sample sizes. The only published study that focused on prenatal SSRI exposure and ASD found an increased risk with exposure to SSRIs, especially during the first trimester. Obstacles that will be faced in future research are isolating medication effects from maternal depression and, given the infrequent occurrence of exposure and outcome, obtaining an adequate sample size. Whether serotonin is an etiologic factor in ASD, and what it points to as a marker for subgrouping, remains unclear. Understanding how the development of ASD might be affected by prenatal factors that influence serotonin levels, such as SSRIs, could identify modifiable targets for prevention.

PRETYPHOON PANIC ATTACK HISTORY MODERATES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEGREE OF TYPHOON EXPOSURE AND POSTTYPHOON PTSD AND DEPRESSION IN A VIETNAMESE SAMPLE.
Depress Anxiety. 2013 Mar 14;
Berenz EC, Trapp SK, Acierno R, Richardson L, Kilpatrick DG, Tran TL, Trung LT, Tam NT, Tuan T, Buoi LT, Ha TT, Thach TD, Gaboury M, Amstadter AB
BACKGROUND: Predisaster risk factors are related to postdisaster psychopathology even at relatively low levels of disaster exposure. A history of panic attacks (PA) may convey risk for postdisaster psychopathology and has been linked to a wide range of psychiatric disorders in Western and non-Western samples. The present study examined the main and interactive effects of pretyphoon PA and level of typhoon exposure in the onset of posttyphoon posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depression (MDD), and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in a Vietnamese sample of typhoon survivors. METHODS: Typhoon Xangsane interrupted a Vietnamese epidemiological mental health needs assessment, providing a rare opportunity for preand posttyphoon assessments. Hierarchical logistic regression analyses evaluated whether the main and interactive effects of typhoon exposure severity and PA history were significantly related to posttyphoon diagnoses, above and beyond age, health status, pretyphoon psychiatric screening results, and history of potentially traumatic events. RESULTS: PA history moderated the relationship between severity of typhoon exposure and posttyphoon PTSD and MDD, but not GAD. Specifically, greater degree of exposure to the typhoon was significantly related to increased likelihood of postdisaster PTSD and MDD among individuals without a history of PA, above and beyond variance accounted for by pretyphoon psychiatric screening results. Individuals with a history of PA evidenced greater risk for postdisaster PTSD and MDD regardless of severity of typhoon exposure. CONCLUSIONS: Preexisting PA may affect the nature of the relationship between disaster characteristics and prevalence of postdisaster PTSD and MDD within Vietnamese samples. HubMed – depression
NEUROBIOLOGY OF ANXIOUS DEPRESSION: A REVIEW.
Ionescu DF, Niciu MJ, Mathews DC, Richards EM, Zarate CA
Anxious depression is a common, distinct clinical subtype of major depressive disorder (MDD). This review summarizes current neurobiological knowledge regarding anxious depression. Peer-reviewed articles, published January 1970 through September 2012, were identified via PUBMED, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library, using the following key words: anxious depression electroencephalography (EEG), anxious depression functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), anxious depression genetics, anxious depression neurobiology, and anxious melancholia neurobiology. Despite a general dearth of neurobiological research, the results suggest that anxious depression-when defined either syndromally or dimensionally-has distinct neurobiological findings that separate it from nonanxious depression. Structural neuroimaging, EEG, genetics, and neuropsychiatric studies revealed differences in subjects with anxious depression compared to other groups. Endocrine differences between individuals with anxious depression and those with nonanxious depression have also been noted, as evidenced by abnormal responses elicited by exogenous stimulation of the system. Despite these findings, heterogeneity in the definition of anxious depression complicates the results. Because exploring the neurobiology of this depressive subtype is important for improving diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, enrichment strategies to decrease heterogeneity within the field should be employed for future research.

Q: noVNC loaded from Apache causes corrupted cursors I've got a NAS box with x11vnc and websockify running on it. If I connect to the vnc by loading noVNC from novnc.com, everything works perfectly. If I connect to the vnc by loading noVNC from the NAS box through Apache webserver, the cursors appear as a single horizontal line.
I don't know anything about Apache and am currently using only the default settings.
Could it be something to do with differences between the novnc.com noVNC and the zip-package noVNC or is it more likely to be a setting in Apache?
Update
Some more testing revealed this issue occurs in both Chrome (38.0.2125.101 m) and Firefox (32.0.3), but not Internet Explorer. However, in IE's case, it simply didn't support local cursors to begin with and rendered with Local Cursor turned off.

A: This was driving me nuts too. It appears to be a bug in the latest version of noVNC.
The noVNC site contains a number of different noVNC versions:
https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/tree/gh-pages
The one you will get by default (noVNC/vnc.html) is almost a year old. By comparison, the "latest" version (noVNC-latest/vnc.html ) is much more recent, and is the one that you have on your web server.
Most likely you'll find the more recent version does not display correctly either.

The Dark Decades: Privilege and Polarization
by Carlos Joly
Carlos Joly (Argentinian, born 1947) has lived and worked in Europe for twenty-five years. He is an investment manager who over the years has pioneered various approaches to integrating environmental issues in portfolio management. He is a Fellow at CISL, Cambridge University, and the architect and prime mover of its Investment Leaders Group.
He is a co-founder and was Chair of the UNEP Finance Initiative and its Asset Management Working Group for over 10 years. He Co-Chaired the Expert Group that drafted the UN Principles of Responsible Investment and also served on the Commission d´Investissement Socialement Responsable of Paris Europlace-Euronext, and advised the Fonds de Reserve de France.
Carlos has taught at the Ecole Supérieure de Commerce, Toulouse as Visiting Professor of Finance and Sustainable Development; and taught at seminars at Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Kellogg Business School, Haute Ecole de Commerce, Université de Paris-Dauphine, and the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute. He has an A.M. in Philosophy from Harvard University, where he was lucky enough to learn ethics from John Rawls, philosophy of science from Hilary Putnam, and logic from Willard Quine.
From a half century of progressive enlightenment and increasing well-being we are moving to a new Dark Age of hard times for the many and inordinate privilege and wealth for the few.
Upward social mobility was a general phenomenon from after 1945 until about 1990. In one and two generations, families moved from being poor or working class to middle class and upper middle class. In the United States, reindustrialization, economic growth, broad university access, labor union–negotiated benefits, Medicare, Medicaid, and health insurance did the trick. In western Europe, their equivalents in social democratic economies and European Union (EU) policies resulted in well-functioning welfare states providing a better life with expanding opportunities for urban workers, farmers, artisans, and small businessowners. Working hours shortened and vacations lengthened while purchasing power increased and healthy, youthful pensioners came to see retirement as a "golden age."
But in the past twenty years this has begun to change. People in mature economies no longer report increasing well-being. They have grounds for pessimism. They will be worse off.
As I see it, we are entering an age of increasing polarization economically, socially, culturally, and environmentally. In mature markets there will be more poor and more inequity—polarisation between the pauperized many and the fortunate few. In emerging economies we will see less poverty—an economic and social evolution like we saw in mature markets after the Second World War. They are catching up, as the Western rich are falling back. However, common to both will be a general degradation of environmental conditions and an increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events affecting economies everywhere, albeit in different ways. Emerging economies will have to learn to deal with emerging climate change, from soy and wheat affected by too much and too little rain in the Argentine pampas to pipelines and other infrastructure in Russian Siberia breaking up from sagging tundra.
Overall, I expect the international community will not put in place robust emissions-reduction limits until disaster is upon us, and probably then policies and money will go to emergency response and remediation, as prevention will be seen as no longer possible. Mature economies will fall behind as they fail to modernize and green their industrial infrastructure.
China will win this game—in wind, solar, battery technology, and railways. Oversimplifying the situation, the cause of the recurrent crises in the West is the triumph of financial capitalism, aided and abetted by its neoliberal institutions—the Federal Reserve, the US Treasury, the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank, international patent rights legislation—and coupled with the takeover of government by a corporate and financial oligarchy. There are exceptions, noticeably the Nordic Model with its real social democracy, its worklife constitutions mediating in a fair way the interests of capital, labor, and government, its natural resource laws making sure the extractive industry pays proper taxes, and its welfare state institutions meant to create well-being for the many through incentivizing employment.
Growth, Consumerism, Climate Change
People's closets, attics, and garages are full of stuff. Yet at the macro level, the world is driven to more material production. Governments promote traditional GDP growth to create jobs and take in more taxes, and they actively support financial capitalism because they falsely believe it is the only way. The GDP accounting system leaves environmental assets like water resources, soil fertility, quality of life, and a stable climate out of the calculations, while finance ministries, the EU, the Union of South American Nations, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations design economic policy with environmental blinders. Globalization means more stuff gets shipped to the other ends of the earth at all times of the year, multiplying emissions.
At the corporate level, increasing volumes of stuff is what gives rise to the profit levels demanded by the stock markets. And, as in national accounting, corporate accounts are not required to internalise pollution and environmental degradation. Until the measurement and reporting systems used by markets take into account environmental degradation, we will continue to outpace nature's limits, by which I mean its assimilative and regenerative capacities to sustain civilization and other life.
New Accounting Rules
What is being counted has to change: in mature markets at least, the production and consumption of cultural, nonpolluting, and nonmaterial goods has to replace stuff, and their monetary value has to be repriced upward. In simple words, what we do to make money has to change. But the needed wholesale transformation of energy, agriculture, transportation, and manufacturing will not happen in time—that is, well before 2052—owing to successful political opposition by vested interests in the coal, oil, shale gas, petrochemical, and automobile industries and the utilities and related businesses that depend on them.
The result is that we are only forty years from disaster. In 2052 the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will be moving toward levels that will trigger irreversible large-scale damage. To keep from reaching that level, the world would need to cut emissions by at least half by 2052. I do not expect that this will happen. Man-made greenhouse gases will grow beyond the tipping point.
New technology is not the barrier: 100% wind, water, and solar energy can be achieved with existing technology.7 Nor is lack of money the real issue. War spending is over 2% to 3% of world GDP. It would take much less than this to cover the cost of bringing greenhouse gas emissions down by 50% in twenty years and do the necessary adaptation to residual climate-change impacts.
From Mitigation to Adaptation
What I expect is that efforts will shift from emissions reduction to adaptation—from trying to avoid the disaster to vain attempts to soften the blow from storms, droughts, floods, heat waves, cold waves, and changing rainfall patterns of increasing frequency and severity.
Not only will agriculture change, but so will the location of new cities and the localization of new infrastructure. Tourist destinations and all that depends on them will be affected. Some established places in the Mediterranean will be too hot and dry in summer, to be replaced by others, perhaps in the Baltics and Scandinavia, for example.
Sustainability will come to be identified with survivability. Corporate social responsibility, responsible investment, voluntary eco-efficiency, carbon trading, and romantic conservationism will be no more of a solution to the epic climate challenge than the Global Compact, Agenda 21, and the Millennium Development Goals are solutions to world poverty. Voluntary self-regulation by the markets is the failed dogma of the 1990s and 2000s. Nothing less than government-led efforts on the scale of Second World War industrialisation and a Marshall Plan will do the job. We have to stop kidding ourselves with Band-Aid solutions when radical surgery is needed.
Capitulation in Decision Making
The problem in the developed world will continue to be political priorities, leadership, and will. Politicians and parliaments will continue to err on the side of polluting rather than green industries. Developing countries will understandably focus on growing their economies to provide basic housing, transportation, and health services to their people and not focus on the best environmental solutions in order to get there. They will be subject to the same short-term financial-market pressures as developed markets. Thus I believe that climate change disaster is inevitable during the twenty-first century. It will affect all countries, at different speeds and with different impacts, depending on their natural and social conditions, infrastructure, and adaptation resources. Society unfortunately seems to shift direction only under acute danger and high drama, whereas climate catastrophe comes in drips and drabs, not as a big bang but rather as the sum of a large number of small calamities.
With the stock market in the driver's seat, humanity will pursue continued economic growth. Governments will remain unable to imagine other ways to create jobs or raise taxes and thus will go along with this. The effect, by 2052, will be less poverty in developing countries, more poverty and inequity in the developed world, and more environmental degradation overall.
I sincerely hope I am wrong. As Romain Roland, nineteenth century novelist and humanist, said: "The pessimism of the mind does not exclude the optimism of the will."
