Bank Sarasin – RC44 Portoroz Cup
Katusha wins the Match Racing! It could not have gone better for our first two days of racing in the RC44 Class.
We had a one race match against Puerto Calero in the semi final first thing today. The wind was light and the two boats were never more than 3 boat lengths apart.
Then we faced Organika in the finals, a best 2 out of 3. We won the first race wire to wire. Organika had a slightly better start in the second race and they went all the way left, while we went all the way right. Left was far better and it never was much of a contest.
That set up the race for all the marbles. We led back in the prestart and slowed Organika down nicely. Then we sheeted on and took the favored right side of the line and race course. It was a bit close up the first leg, but we were always in control. They then gybed away down the run and we just sailed the pressure and stretched nicely. That was pretty much it. The last lap was more of a delivery, which was just fine with the Katusha Team.
All happy here. Tomorrow the fleet racing starts. All boats must have an amateur helmsman and we have a good one…Pieter Taselaar who just won the Melges 32 Worlds in Porto Cervo last week.
The forecast for tomorrow is more of the same with the possibilty of showers.

Paul Cayard and his new team Katusha win the Bank Sarasin RC 44 Portoroz Cup match race
The American sailor won the best of three final series against Karol Jablonski's Organika. Ray Davies and Pieter Heerema finish third onboard No Way Back.
September 30, 2009 – Paul Cayard and his new team Katusha surprised everyone – and himself – in the Bank Sarasin RC 44 Portoroz Cup match race series, dominating the event and winning the best of three final against Karol Jablonski's Organika. Katusha is the latest RC 44 (number 22), just out of the Pauger boatyard. The team is also brand new and had never sailed together under Cayard's leadership. No Way Back (Ray Davies & Pieter Heerema) finishes third ahead of Islas Canarias Puerto Calero (Jose Maria Ponce), Artemis (Dean Barker) and Team Aqua (Cameron Appleton).
The day started with a "dead or alive" match between the local team Modri Gaj and Team Austria. At the helm of Modri Gaj, Gasper Vincec managed to close the door at the start, kicking the Austrians out and taking control of the race to win it.
The other semi-finals saw today's most spectacular matches, including an aggressive fight between Dean Barker's Artemis and S

A good day onboard Katusha today and it was our first race day. The 11 boats were split into two groups; six in our group and five in the other. We were 3-2 in the match racing and finished up second in our round. Organica of Poland was first with 4-1. We were in a position to win each of our races and made one key mistake in each of the two that we lost. As frustrating as that is, I would rather know that we have the ability to win and made a mistake than to not have the ability to win.
In the other group, Puerto Calero won and No Way Back finished up second. The surprise there is that Artemis and BMW Oracle are out of the top two, both finished up 2-2.
Tomorrow should put the top two teams of each division in a semi-final and then the final for the two winners.
Those who did not qualify will race for 5th-11th.
The winds were very light again today, with a peak wind speed of 8 knots at 1500. But these RC44s are very high powered boats, so it was very good racing anyway.
Today was the official practice race. We went out early and did some practice match racing with Artemis. The practice race was a fleet race and we finished a credible third. We had the lead off the start and 3/4's of the way up the first beat, then made some mistakes. So the good news is that we can improve. The wind was 8-9 knots, which is a good breeze in these boats. As you can see from the photo, we were fully powered up. Artemis won the practice race and Aqua was second, Ceeref fourth.
In the photo, from front to back is Mo Gutenkunst, "Belt" Sander, Jarad "Beach" Henderson, Robbie "the Battler Naismith", "Sister" Theresa, Marco "Shark" Constant and missing is Mohito and myself. I think I must have been down below making a sandwich at this time. No really, I was on the boat today. The dude on the back with the life jacket is a photographer.
Tomorrow we start the match racing part of the event. Our first match is against Sea Dubai, and then we have Aqua who is leading the season. First warning signal is at 1130. The forecast is for light winds all week.
We had a very good day of practice today on Katusha, our new Russian RC44. A lot of work has gone into getting the brand new boat ready for our first event here in Slovenia. Brad and JR have been here a month putting the keel on, getting the bottom perfect, assembling the rig and fine tuning all the bits and pieces. They have done a great job and we have a very nice boat to sail.
The Katusha crew is all new, so we have not sailed together before. These boats are really demanding from a crew stand point. The boats are very powerful and agile, so things happen fast. We have made great strides since our first day sailing together last Wednesday, but we have a ways to go to be as proficient at the teams that have sailed together for the past two seasons.
Tomorrow is the practice race. Since the practice race is a fleet race, we will do three or four practice match races with the Team Artemis beforehand. I know this is confusing, as I usually sail on Artemis. But that is the Artemis TP52 and this is the Artemis RC44, which has Dean Barker as helmsman.
The RC44 class allows four professional sailors and the remaining sailors must be non-professional. The owner or his representative, in any case an amateur, may helm the boat in the fleet racing. This has proven to be good for sailing in many other classes like Farr 40 and Melges 32. The pros, who are the tacticians in the fleet racing, helm the boats in the Match Racing. This is a lot of fun for us.
The format is that the first two days of the event are match racing and the last three days are fleet racing. There is placing for each discipline, as well as an overall combined placing.
The forecast for the next few days is for light winds.
TP52 – Audi MedCup – Cartagena
One race today. We had more to lose today then to gain. Quantum was 5 points ahead of us and we would need an extra boat between us or they would win the tie breaker. Bigamist and Matador were just 2.5 and 3 points behind us respectively. So we had a bit on. The wind was very fluky and we did not get the race off until 1500.
We had a great start at the pin and we wanted the left. Pretty much everyone wanted the left so we were looking good. After 5 minutes we tacked to port and were looking famous. Then the wind went right 30 degrees and it was a scramble for us to get across the course. Quantum who had a not so good start got a bit right and Synergy went hard right. The right paid and Synergy had a big lead at the first mark. We were about 7th, but close behind Matador and ahead of Bigimist, the two boats hoping to take third place overall from us.
From there we pretty much stayed in touch with Matador and ahead of Bigamist. It wasn't that simple, but I won't go into all the details.
The bottom line is we got the job done and finished the season in a very credible third for the season while 5th for this regatta.
We will all be back together again in two weeks time in Palma for the TP 52 World Championships.
In the meantime I will be racing in Portoroz, Slovenia in the RC 44 event there. We have a brand new boat named Katusha. We will be training there starting Wednesday as we have a bit to sort out. I will send some reports from Portoroz in a week.

Not a great day for us, but all is not lost. We had a 7,6,7 and slipped into third in the season standings and 5th for this regatta.
We made a big mistake in each of the three races; over the start line early in the first, fouled a competitor in the second and did our penalty turns and in the last race we hit the windward mark.
In the last race, the mark was a rib and it was motoring forward, trying to hold its position. The real mark drifted away. The rib was adjusting it's throttle, we believe, and so went from laying the mark to having to shoot head to wind but we could not avoid the rib.
The wind started out pretty mild and tricky in the first race. At one point, we had gotten back to third place before getting tangled up in a pack near the finish.
At the end of the day, the wind was up to 21 knots and extremely rough conditions.
We are 5 points behind Quantum for second place for the season and just 1.5 ahead of Bigimist who is in fourth.
So it will be a big day tomorrow.
For complete results go to 2009.medcup.org
Good day on Artemis today. We started the day in 4th place for the season and we are now in second.
It was a tough day out there with plenty of carnage. Fortunately we did not break anything and while our 7, 2 scores were not perfect, they were better than Quantum Racing and Matador.
With the wind reaching 32 knots and a very rough sea, Team New Zealand was in a class of their own winning both races. Audi Q8 had a good day scoring 2, 3 for second and Bribon had a 2, 6 for third. We are fourth.
Racing was stopped after the second race due to the damage that some of the boats incurred. Boats like Synergy and Matador broke 2 or 3 gennakers each! No collisions though.
Forecast for tomorrow is more of the same.
Unfortunate situation….no racing again!
There was wind most of the day, but it was very unstable, both in velocity and direction. The wind "ratcheted" its way from 110 to 210 over 4 hours.
We had two attempted starts, but both were abandonned about 30 seconds to go due to 30 degree shifts.
Pretty frustrating for everyone.
We did something nice though. There was a RIB out there with about 8 opti kids in it watching us. We invited them onboard and gave them all a chance to steer Artemis and get their photo taken. They were really cute, happy, smiling and enthusiastic. We even asked them which way we should go on the race course and they unanimously said "right". And they were correct.
Let's hope for sailable conditions tomorrow. The Coastal Race has been delayed at least to Friday and may even be cancelled to make time for more buoy racing.
No racing today at the TP52 Audi MedCup.
First, there was no wind so we were postponed ashore. Then, we went out at about 1400. A few squalls passed over the area pulling the wind all over the place. Then, it rained hard and it still is.
Let's hope tomorrow is better. Hard to be much worse, really.

Can Hockey Players Sue for Their Sports Injuries?
In Canada, hockey is more than a national pastime; it's a way of life. In cities, towns, and rural communities across the country, hockey is a tradition that's passed down from generation to generation. But playing the beloved sport can be dangerous, as accidents on the ice can result in serious injuries.
Since hockey has the potential to be a physically violent sport, injuries that result from accidents on the ice can be severe. These injuries may lead to lengthy recovery processes, or even permanent damage that prevents injured players from returning to the rink, or to their places of work.
By willfully participating in a recreational league or friendly games at a local arena, individuals who choose to play hockey implicitly consent to the risks associated with the game. Some leagues, like the Canadian Adult Recreational Hockey Association, even require every affiliated player to sign a liability waiver indemnifying the organization against losses resulting from injuries during league play.
However, if hockey injuries sustained during gameplay are caused by malicious intent or another player's behaviour that falls outside the bounds of fair play, the injured player may be able to pursue legal action. By working with a personal injury lawyer, the victim of another player's dangerous behaviour on the ice may be able to recover damages for financial losses resulting from their injuries.
Outside the Bounds of Fair Play
While individuals who play recreational hockey implicitly accept that the sport they're engaging in involves inherent risks, they also implicitly accept that everyone on the ice should participate according to the rules of fair play. If it can be proven that a player intentionally injured another player during a hockey game, the victim may be eligible to pursue legal action against them. However, in the context of an extremely physical competitive sport, proving malicious intent can be very difficult.
That said, if a player's behaviour during the game is determined to be outside the ordinary bounds of fair play, they may be considered liable for damages resulting from injuries caused by their unsportsmanlike conduct.
Some hockey players may be under the impression that, inside the rink, anything goes. But this is not the case. While a player's natural instincts during gameplay may lead them to engage in overly competitive behaviour, each individual on the ice must be held to a certain standard of care for their fellow players. A failure to uphold this standard through reckless, out of the ordinary behaviour could be considered negligence. As such, a hockey player that sustains serious injuries as a result of another party's recklessness on the ice may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the negligent party.
In these cases, injured players may not necessarily need to prove that their injuries were motivated by another party's malicious intent. Instead, they may be required to illustrate that the conduct of the player who caused their injuries fell outside the bounds of what a reasonable competitor should expect in the circumstances of their game.
To determine whether a player's conduct is considered outside the bounds of fair play, a personal injury lawyer may submit various forms of evidence illustrating:
The type of league in which the game was played
The regular level of play within the league
The rules and regulations of the game determined by the league
Evidence may include testimonies from other players or referees who may be able to support the claim that the reckless, injury-causing behaviour was outside of the generally accepted bounds of fair play within their league.
Common Hockey Injuries
Ice hockey is a fast-paced, high-contact sport. The game involves dangerous hockey sticks, fast-moving pucks, sharp ice skates, and body-checking against the boards of a rink. And its swift, relentless action is all played out on an icy, hard surface. Hockey can be invigorating to play, but it can also cause its participants to sustain serious injuries.
Across the country, out of all sports-related injuries reported to Canadian emergency departments, hockey is the leading cause of hospitalizations. Some common injuries hockey players can sustain during gameplay include:
Broken collarbones
ACL strains or tears
MCL strains or tears
Fractured or broken bones
Consistent trauma to the head and repeated concussions can lead to chronic brain injuries, whose symptoms can severely impact a player's quality of life.
The Consequences of Concussions
Concussions are the most common type of head injury caused by impact or forceful movements, just like the ones hockey players may encounter on the ice. If treated properly, most concussions can be resolved without complications. However, in certain circumstances, concussions can lead to long-term disabilities.
The symptoms of concussions can be physical, mental, and behavioral. A hockey player who has recently sustained a concussion may experience dizziness, nausea, headaches, and sensitivity to light. They may also experience difficulty thinking, focusing, or remembering. Concussed individuals may suffer from extreme mood swings, shifting quickly between feelings of anger, frustration, and anxiety. If treated incorrectly, concussions can result in chronic symptoms that persist for years.
If hockey players experience the symptoms of a concussion after receiving a blow to the head during gameplay, seeking immediate medical attention could be critical. These symptoms may include:
Weakness or tingling in extremities
Severe headache
Restless, argumentative, or agitated behavior
In recent years, hockey training programs like Hockey Nova Scotia have begun formally educating young players about concussion prevention during gameplay. Some provinces have even gone as far as to eliminate body-checking in youth hockey leagues to try and reduce young players' chances of sustaining concussions on the ice. But lifelong hockey players who play at a competitive level are vulnerable to severe head injuries. Repetitive blows to the head and multiple concussions over time can cause permanent brain damage, like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
If a hockey injury resulting from another player's reckless behavior on the ice leads to a chronic condition that prevents you from performing the duties of your job, or otherwise diminishes your quality of life, a personal injury lawyer may be able to pursue damages for financial losses, and pain and suffering you may have incurred as a result.

\section{Introduction}
Our knowledge of reaction rates in the Sun is becoming more and more
accurate. There have been several works dealing with electrostatic
screening effects in the solar plasma (as for example,
Carraro, Sch\"{a}fer, \& Koonin 1988; Gruzinov \& Bahcall 1997;
Br\"{u}ggen \& Gough 1997). Recently, more precise calculations have been
made beyond the linear regime (Gruzinov \& Bahcall 1998).

The screening has the effect of lowering the Coulomb barrier between
the interacting ions, therefore enhancing the reaction rates. This is
included in the enhancing factor in the weak screening
limit (where $Z_{1}Z_{2}e^{2}/R_{D}T \ll 1$ and $R_{D}$ is
the Debye radius)
\begin{equation}
w=exp~\lambda~,
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\lambda=Z_{1}Z_{2}e^{2}/R_{D}T~.
\end{equation}
This screeening factor uses the Debye-H\"{u}ckel expression.

Usually, the calculation is made in the electrostatic case, based on the
calculation of Salpeter (1954). It is assumed that the motion of the screened ion
is slow, compared to the motion of the screening particles.
Carraro, Sch\"{a}fer, \& Koonin (1988) have studied the case of dynamic screening.

In a recent study, Gruzinov (1998) argued that in the weak screening limit,
there is no dynamic screening corrections to Salpeter's enhancement
factor, even for high energies. He based his conclusion on two arguments:
1) For thermodynamic equilibrium, the Gibbs probability distributions
in velocity and configuration space are decoupled; and
2) Through an analysis of the thermal electric field, we can
estimate the random electrostatic potential and conclude that the
enhancement of the reaction rates is given by the
Salpeter expression.

We show below that although these arguments are simple,
a careful examination shows that they are wrong.
In \S 2 and \S 3 we recall the arguments and show why
they are incorrect.

\section{Gibbs Distribution}
The enhancement factor for a reaction rate between nuclei of charges
$Z_{1}e$ and $Z_{2}e$ is
\begin{equation}
w=exp(-Z_{2}e\phi_{0}/T)
\end{equation}
($k_{B}=1$), where $\phi_{0}$ is the electrostatic potential, created by
the plasma on the particle $Z_{1}e$.

A test particle $Z_{1}e$ moving through a plasma with velocity $v'$ suffers
dynamic screening. The electrostatic potential is written as (see
Krall \& Trivelpiece (1973), chap.11)
\begin{equation}
\phi_{0}=4\pi e Z_{1} \int \frac{d^{3}k}{{(2\pi)}^{3}}
\left [ \frac{1}{\varepsilon(k,kv')}-1 \right ] k^{-2}~,
\end{equation}
where $\varepsilon$ is the dielectric permittivity, which describes the plasma
response to the test particle. ($\varepsilon$ depends on the velocity
distribution of the plasma particles $f(v)$, which usually is taken as Maxwellian).
From the above expression, it can be seen that $\phi_{0}$ depends on the
velocity $v'$ of particle $Z_{1}e$. Gruzinov (1998) argued that the
Gibbs probability distribution $\rho$ is
\begin{equation}
\rho \sim exp \left ( -\beta \sum \frac{m_{i}v_{i}^{2}}{2} -\beta
\sum \frac{e_{i}e_{j}}{r_{ij}} \right ) ~,
\end{equation}
(where $\beta=1/T$) which can be factorable into
\begin{equation}
\rho \sim exp \left ( -\beta \sum \frac{m_{i}v_{i}^{2}}{2} \right )
exp \left ( -\beta \sum \frac{e_{i}e_{j}}{r_{ij}} \right ) ~.
\end{equation}
From the above, it was argued that the distributions in velocity and
configuration space are decoupled.

This first argument is simple. However, it is based on a
misunderstanding. The general Gibbs probability distribution $\rho$
for a plasma is
\begin{equation}
\rho \sim exp \left ( -\beta \sum \frac{m_{i}v_{i}^{2}}{2} \right )
exp \left ( -\beta \sum_{i > k} \sum_{k} W_{ik} \right ) ~,
\end{equation}
where $W_{ik}$ is the interaction energy between the particles.
$W_{ik}$ is the interaction energy of particle $i$ with all the other particles
in the plasma. This energy is the Coulomb energy
${e_{i}e_{j}}/{r_{ij}}$, related to the positions
of all the other particles. It is an assumption that
their positions $r_{i}$, $r_{j}$ are independent of their velocities.
However, we know from dynamic screening, Eq. (4), that their coordinates
are, in fact, velocity dependent. Eq. (6) states that the coordinates are
independent of the velocities only in zero order. The exact Gibbs
distribution takes into account dynamic corrections.

In fact, this argument is circular. The separability of the Gibbs
distribution in velocity and configuration contributions
is true only if the particles are moving
under a (static) conservative force. The argument to show that there
are no dynamical contributions, therefore, rests on a statement that is
valid only if there are no dynamical contributions, which, in fact, is what
he set out to prove.

\section{Thermal Electric Field}
Due to thermal fluctuations in the plasma, the reaction rate between two
fast moving ions $Z_{1}e$ and $Z_{2}e$ is enhanced. The enhancement factor
of a reaction rate is
\begin{equation}
w=1+ \beta^{2} e^{2}Z_{1}Z_{2} \langle \phi^{2} \rangle  ~,
\end{equation}
where $\langle \phi^{2} \rangle$ is the average of the square
of the random electrostatic potential $\phi$. $\langle \phi^{2} \rangle$ is
given by
\begin{equation}
\langle \phi^{2} \rangle=\int \frac{d^{3}k}{{(2\pi)}^{3}}
{\langle \phi^{2} \rangle}_{k}~,
\end{equation}
where ${\langle \phi^{2} \rangle}_{k}={\langle E^{2} \rangle}_{k}/k^{2}$.

In his second argument, the expression used for the fluctuation electric
field was (Krall \& Trivelpice (1973), chap.11)
\begin{equation}
\frac{{\langle E^{2} \rangle}_{k}}{(8\pi)}=
\left ( \frac{T}{2} \right )
\left [ 1- \frac{1}{\varepsilon(0,k)} \right ] ~.
\end{equation}
Substituing this expression in Eq.(8) and Eq.(9),
Salpeter's expression is obtained.

However, the expression of the thermal electric field (for
a Maxwellian plasma), given by Eq. (10), assumes that $\omega \ll T$
($\hbar, k_{B}=1$). The general expression for the intensity of the
electric field is given by the {\it Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem}
(see for example Sitenko (1967), Akhiezer et al. (1975)):
\begin{equation}
\frac{{\langle E^{2} \rangle}_{k\omega}}{(8\pi)}
=\frac{1}{e^{{\omega}/T}-1}\frac{Im \varepsilon}
{{\mid \varepsilon \mid}^{2}}
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
\frac{{\langle E^{2} \rangle}_{k}}{(8\pi)}
=\int d\omega \frac{1}{e^{{\omega}/T}-1}\frac{Im \varepsilon}
{{\mid \varepsilon \mid}^{2}}~.
\end{equation}
This expression includes electrostatic Langmuir waves as well as all
other fluctuations that exist in a plasma.
In the limit of $\omega \ll T$,
\begin{equation}
\frac{{\langle E^{2} \rangle}_{k}}{(8\pi)}
=\int d\omega \frac{T}{\omega}\frac{Im \varepsilon}
{{\mid \varepsilon \mid}^{2}}~,
\end{equation}
for which it is then possible to use the Kramers-Kronig relations. Eq.(13) then
turns out to be
\begin{equation}
\frac{{\langle E^{2} \rangle}_{k}}{(8\pi)}=
\left ( \frac{T}{2} \right )
\left [ 1- \frac{1}{\varepsilon(0,k)} \right ] ~,
\end{equation}
which is the expression used.

The assumption that $\omega \ll T$, however, is very strong. In fact,
in the case of the transverse electric field, we showed
(Opher \& Opher (1997a, 1997b)) that only by not making this strong
assumption, is the blackbody at high frequencies obtained.
We recently showed (Opher \& Opher (1999)), that by not making
the assumption that $\omega \ll T$, the energy of a plasma in the classical
limit is larger than previously thought.

Without assuming that $\omega \ll T$, the enhancement factor is
given by Eq. (8) with Eq. (12).

It is also to be noted that the second argument is also circular. It assumes
that $\omega \ll T$, making it a static analysis, which is then used to
prove that there does not exist a dynamic contribution.

It is to be emphasized that we are not arguing here whether or not
dynamic screening exists in thermonuclear reactions.
We only show that the arguments used by Gruzinov (1998), to prove
that dynamic screening does not exist, are not valid.

Today in "keeping social media a shiny happy place" news, YouTube is reportedly considering disabling the "dislike" button to address what the company is calling "dislike mobs". A Verge article says that "dislike mobs" are groups of people who become upset with a certain creator or a certain video and decide to execute an organized effort to downvote or negatively review it. It's an issue that YouTube has seen before and one that content creators have spoken out about.
Videos with a high number of dislikes are less likely to be recommended for people to watch and could eventually hurt the creator's channel. Lest we forget, the whole point of having a dislike button to begin with is to be able to voice your displeasure with content that creators are putting out.
But in the day and age of participation trophies and millennial safe zones, even the little thumbs down button on YouTube is apparently becoming too offensive. While the company says these ideas are still just "lightly being discussed" they are offering creators the preference to indicate that they don't want ratings on their videos, similar to the way comments can be disabled.
The post YouTube Considers Removing "Dislike" Button Due To Creator Complaints, Hurt Feelings appeared first on Off The Grid News.


An answer by Hannah G.
She may not be sure what to do and just feels awkward and out of place.
Maybe she actually disapproves of what is going on. (For example, she may not feel comfortable joining a group of girls and boys talking together.
Perhaps she's been very hurt in the past and is afraid. Maybe there are stresses and hurts in her own home.
She may feel that everyone is somehow "above" her; that they don't really want her, and that she is not their "class."
Maybe she's trying not to be too friendly/forward and isn't aware that, in the attempt, she looks awkward and withdrawn.
I've met people who I wondered if they thought anything at all... Why were they so awkward and soooo quiet? I think other people have also felt that it's hard to know what to say to me! If your shy acquaintance somehow seems "spacey" or not really there, or something, maybe she is quite there, but reasons (such as the ones above) may be hindering her. In fact, you may discover that this girl is brilliant, has some very fine character qualities, and maybe has many common interests with you!
With that in mind, I want to share with you some situation in which I tried to reach out to shy or socially awkward people.
The first is a girl who came with her family to our church for a time - I'll call her "Lily." Lily was much like the girl you wrote about. She was extremely shy and very withdrawn, and you could hardly get her to say anything. I tried to talk to her some, but, like you, didn't really feel that I got very far, or that Lily enjoyed the "conversation." However, later on at anther family's house, the mother told us that Lily's mother had noticed that I tried to draw Lily out.
Maybe the girl you're talking to won't be blessed all that much through your efforts. Yet, it may bless her parents to see you trying to befriend their lonely daughter.
The second girl I'll tell you about I'll call "Rose." Rose went through a period of shyness. Sometimes you'd say something to her and she would hardly answer. She acted rather strangely and seemed "spacey." However, one time when we had Rose over to our house, we were able to see her beautiful, hidden self in full bloom! We discovered Rose was a very interesting person! She was full of dreams and thoughts. She was so sweet to her little brother. Rose was truly a person, and I regretted that I hadn't tried harder to talk to her. We really had a lot in common.
I can only guess at Rose's reasons for being so quiet. I think that she had been hurt many, many times, and not enough people were willing to take the time to try to really be her friend. Then, too, it seemed that Rose outgrew some of her awkwardness.
Maybe your acquaintance is also deeply hurt, and maybe if you try long enough, she'll warm up and prove to be a very interesting friend. Perhaps, it would be easier to get to know her in a different setting than before or after church.
Thirdly, I'll explain about "Violet." Now, Violet is not shy - in fact, she's anything but shy! She's too friendly. She jumps head-long into awkward situations. She's out of bounds in all directions, and is constantly doing unusual things. You see, although Violet is "friendly," she's rather hard to like. She has few friends. I've worked a lot with Violet (she's a number of years younger than me). Sometimes Violet doesn't seem very grateful or appreciative. Yet, at a few other times, I think I've gotten to her real self. Maybe I'm not the "razzle-dazzle" friend of her dreams, but I think, in a small sort of way, she counts on me.
Lastly, I want to mention "Daisy." I don't really know Daisy very well. She only came to our church for a little while. Daisy seemed quiet and shy. I didn't talk to her that much, which is sad, because she probably needed friends badly. Perhaps I could have brightened her life a bit.
This is what I want to say in all these stories -- we never know who we will bless if we try to talk to the people who are left out and lonely. It's really hard sometimes. I find myself getting shy, or just not wanting to go up and start talking. It's difficult to know what to say if the person won't say much in response. It's uncomfortable not to know if the shy person would just plainly prefer that you leave. But all of that doesn't mean we can't try and try again! Keep on keeping on, and praying that somehow God will break down the walls.
May I mention one thing, though? Maybe this girl has been really hurt by the feeling that people are "trying to be nice to her." Perhaps she knows that people don't really want her -- they just talk to her because it is their "duty." It really hurts to know that people approach you with the attitude of, "I'll be nice to stair-steps girl now." It's painful to be left out of their real circle of friendship, but have them come and "be nice," and sort of "baby" or "talk down to you," as if you weren't quite on their level for some reason.
Anyway, no matter what has happened, please keep trying -- and thank you so much for trying!! Even if you never seem to touch your friend, you will touch Someone.

Actors Inbar Lavi, left, and Rob Heaps of the television show 'Imposters' speak onstage during the NBCUniversal portion of the 2017 Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour in Pasadena, California.(Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)
Americans ♥ 'Fauda,' Israelis ♥ 'Imposters'
A Bravo series starring Israeli actress Inbar Lavi is a con game masking something real
By Matthew Wolfson
I first came across Imposters, the Bravo series that's playing five nights out of seven on Israeli television, scrolling through Netflix this past March. The picture showed a woman on a bed, the label said dark comedy, the slug described a con artist marrying men and stealing their money. Sex, cruelty, the suggestion of the absurd: It looked designed—overdesigned—to allure. But after a minute I thought, "Why Not?" and tried the first episode.
I expected to stay 20 minutes and move onto something new. I stayed for 10 episodes and, when the next season premiered a few weeks later, stayed for 10 more. Imposters, for me, was an inversion of its premise: I thought I was getting scammed, and I found something real.
Imposters is the vehicle and the first major American role for Israeli actress Inbar Lavi—she's the reason it's a staple of Israeli TV. It was created by a veteran film writer, Adam Brooks, and a veteran character actor turned writer, Paul Adelstein. Brooks—whose credits include French Kiss, Wimbledon, and Definitely, Maybe—has made a career writing about people struggling to access their full selves. His working theory is that our character, its essence, is waiting there for us: Finding it is a question of getting the right nudges, from the right people, and following through. Adelstein plays zany parts in darkly comic films with joyful abandon. His first role was in The Grifters, and it's tempting to draw a direct line between that experience and this series, because Imposters' conceit is to cross The Grifters with French Kiss.
Inbar Lavi's Maddie is a con artist whose scam is to seduce people, marry them, set up a joint checking account, empty it, and disappear into the middle distance. Maddie's a natural—she knows that the trick to making someone fall in love with you is to become their solution, which means they love not you but the way you make them feel. But over time, damage accrues. Three of her devastated exes, Ezra (Rob Heaps), Richie (Parker Young), and Jules (Marianne Rendón), plus an FBI agent, Patrick (Stephen Bishop) set out on her trail. The four pursuers catch up to the pursued and get drawn into the cons she's trying to play. As they help her play them, the con artists struggle toward a recognition of who they are and who they want to be.
Maddie is the show's catalyst, but the driver of its arc is Ezra: 20-something, from a good Jewish Indianapolis family, smart, a dreamer, completely untested, his eyes fixed somewhere on the horizon. To seduce him, Maddie plays Ava, sexy and ethereal and French, and she so completely uplifts his comfortable life that, when she leaves, he uproots himself to find her.
So far as I know, Ezra is an anomaly: a male lead in a mainstream American TV series who's recognizably Jewish, but whose Jewishness the series feels no pressure to accent. Certainly, it's easy to suspect that Paul Adelstein, who grew up Midwestern and Reform Jewish, had some input into the character. And certainly, Rob Heaps—a non-Jewish actor who plays Ezra with earnestness and energy; and later, growing perceptiveness and occasional anger—has been open about the importance of Jewish culture to his portrayal.
But that's about it: Imposters leaves the Jewishness there and lets you come to it on its own terms—clear and confident, obvious and unencumbered. It's exhilarating, at a time when identity risks becoming synonymous with individuality, to see a series accept the inherited particularities of a character without making him the sum of those particularities. It roots him firmly in his past while letting him get about the business of figuring out how to live.
What does this look like—the business of living, in a world of cons? It looks like pieces of America: Scottsdale, Burlington, Seattle, New York; bus stops, gas stations, bland motel rooms, food courts; country clubs, Greyhounds, gun ranges, childhood homes. It looks like a gallery of secondary players: con artists gone to seed; old high-school friends nursing resentments and longings; lonely marks with eccentric hobbies pining for the right person. And it looks like five fully realized protagonists: incommensurable in their finely worked backgrounds and personalities; equal in their struggle to come to terms with their pasts and find their own ways.
Besides Ezra, there's Richie, a high-school football star from an over-mortgaged tract house in Scottsdale, who wants to get out of his lower-middling life and mount a run for state Senate. He thought "Alice"—Maddie, playing blonde, smart, attentive—was his way out, and now he's refusing to stop believing in his long game as he claws his way back to reality. There's Jules, an artist from a WASP dynasty, emotionally sensitive and emotionally paralyzed, ground down by a family that can't distinguish between being domineering and being decisive. She thought "CeCe"—Maddie, playing tough, confident, reliable—was her move, and she's coping with the loss with intensive therapy that she knows is insufficient. And, later, there's Patrick, the FBI guy—smart and handsome and just a little too cocksure, a little too shallow, to cope with Maddie, even knowing the game's a con—suddenly in over his head at the bureau and looking to get above water. A code is what these people are looking for—one they forge out of where they come from, who they are, and where and who they want to be.
In the meantime, Maddie's coming to terms with the opposite problem. She got into the game for good reasons—to get out of a life she didn't choose—but it came with costs. If you buy into another person's code, in this case her boss's, a sinister control freak called the doctor (Ray Proscia), you end up buying yourself into a prison. This is the show's real irony, which it's smart enough not to overstate: The grifter has scammed herself as badly as she ever scammed the marks. Now, altogether, they'll have to find their way out.
Maddie is the key to this last, biggest con—the person who knows all the players, the reason they stick together, the planner with the skills to plot their way clear. The trait, the essence, that defines Inbar Lavi's characterization of Maddie as the series progresses is solidity. She seems to get heavier as the stakes get higher; not her physique but her physicality. She buys a gun, and her body squares, then sinks, then settles as she practices pulling the trigger. She reunites with her exes, and her face widens then recedes as she opens herself to their judgments. Finally, there's a scene where she makes a choice: about the terms on which she'll be accepted back by the people she's wronged; about what she's willing to live with and risk living without.
In this episode and a few others, it looks like the series will come down to Ezra and Maddie: the innocent who's gotten savvy to the game but who's still unaware of the stakes; and the long-term player who sinned against him, but, like she says, saved him, too—"You always whine about how you wanted a life of adventure? Well guess who gave it to you? I did. Because you never tried to get it for yourself." Then, in the final two episodes, the writers shake up the action, and we're left with what we always had—five people, equal and incommensurable, still looking to find their own paths. But we may not be able to follow them further: A week before the season 2 finale premiered, Bravo announced the show's cancellation.
It's worth saying that this cancellation is a loss: of a singular, hard-to-categorize show that breaks out of the highbrow/lowbrow categories of a lot of contemporary TV; that looks like quick viewing but quickly upends those expectations; that draws us in with entertainment, and then, through the specificity of its characterizations, it suggests options for how to live. This elusive genre, accessible art that also goes deep, is part of what we look for in culture, and don't often find—especially in a world where we have more and more choice about how to live but less and less time to think.

Charts and Market Updates February 13, 2020
The US dollar is on the defensive against the Mexican peso in the foreign exchange scene. The safe-haven appeal of the greenback amidst the novel coronavirus is barely working against the Mexican peso. Bears are brushing off the weak inflation results from the Mexican economy and are determined to continue pulling the pair down to its support levels. The USDMXN pair is widely expected to drop down to its support by the end of the month or perhaps by the first few days of March. However, things could change and get difficult for the Mexican dollar as later today, as the Banco de Mexico is scheduled to announce its official interest rates for the second month of 2020. Experts believe that the Mexican central bank is most likely to ease its interest rates by 0.25 basis points, from 7.25% prior to 7.00%. If that would be the case, the Mexican peso's momentum might falter, which could result in a slower decline for the pair.
The Brazilian real is on loads and loads of trouble against the US dollar. The USDBRL recently reached new highs in sessions, and it's still believed to continue its uphill climb in sessions as the Brazilian real runs its weakest performance against the buck. Unfortunately for the real, the contraction in the country's retail sales figures from December strained its remaining fighting power, causing the pair to surge. Official data from Brazil shows that its monthly retail sales dropped from 0.7% prior to -0.1%, falling further from the projected 0.2%. Investors were immediately concerned and bothered by the health of the Brazilian economy and the real, paving the way for bulls to advance. The Brazilian retail sales results recorded its first decline in about eight (8) months, disappointing experts and policy makers. Just last week, the Brazilian central bank eased its benchmark Selic to new lows at 4.25% in efforts to buoy the economy.
The negative figures produced by the South African economy is giving way for the bulls to hold on to their upward trajectory in sessions. With economic results weighing on the South African rand, the pair will most likely reach its resistance level by the latter half of the month. Earlier this week, South Africa reported that its unemployment rate for the fourth quarter of the year remained stagnant at 29.10% or at approximately 6.700 million. Then, the country's December manufacturing production unexpectedly contracted, recording a drop from -1.5% to -2.8%, alarming experts who projected a slight improvement to -0.7%. On top of that, yesterday, the country's annual retail sales figures from December collapsed from 2.6% to -0.4%, plunging deeper from expectations of an 1.5% outcome. Later today, bulls are expecting support from the US core consumer price index results which is expected to show gradual improvements.
Investors are having difficulty pulling the pair higher or lower in sessions. Still, the USDINR pair is expected to climb to its resistance by late February. The improvements in India's annual consumer price index for January reportedly rose from 7.35% prior to 7.59%, topping forecast of 7.40%. Meanwhile, the country's annual industrial production for December unexpectedly dropped, catching investors off guard as it recorded a fall from 1.8% to -0.3%. The Indian rupee is seen struggling to gain ground ahead of the country's WPI inflation results for January which is expected to show gradual improvements. Meanwhile, the US dollar is waiting for further support that could push the pair higher later today. The United States' core consumer price index for January is scheduled to be released today and it is widely expected to record slight improvements. Aside from that, the US continuing jobless claims and initial jobless claims are also scheduled.

Fifth Annual Study on Cyber Claim Costs Released
NetDiligence(R) Publishes 2015 Study of Actual Claim Payouts
FOSTER CITY, Calif., September 30, 2015 – Norse, the leader in live attack intelligence, today announced the successful closing of its Series A1 round of funding led by a strategic investment from KPMG Capital, KPMG International's global investment fund. The investment will enable KPMG's member firms to offer Norse threat intelligence products and services to clients through the KPMG network's global cyber security practice. The remainder of the $11.4 million total raised in this round was provided by a group of existing investors, and the funds will be used by Norse primarily to bolster the company's product development efforts and accelerate the expansion of its global sales organization to capitalize on high-growth market opportunities abroad.
The additional Series A1 funding now brings the total venture funding raised by Norse to $42 million.
"KPMG clearly understands the complex challenges that public and private organizations face and that threat intelligence and the insights that it brings are at the heart of the next generation of information security.

"Through KPMG Capital's strategic investment in Norse, we can ensure that clients will benefit from their industry-leading technologies today and in the future."
Norse has already taken important steps towards achieving its product development and sales expansion goals. Norse recently announced the appointment of Andrew Lewman to the newly created position of vice president of data development, where he will extend Norse's lead in gathering, processing and applying live threat intelligence for the next generation of enterprise security solutions. Norse also named David Weier, an accomplished sales executive with more than 20 years of experience building and leading high-performance sales teams, as senior vice president of worldwide sales.
Norse's family of enterprise threat intelligence solutions includes the Norse Appliance™ 10g and the Norse Intelligence Service™, a turnkey "early-warning-as-a-service" that helps large financial services firms and government agencies quickly identify compromised systems, spot malicious activity and track attacks while they are still under way.
By analyzing the large amount of data that comes through its network, Norse's suite of solutions gives organizations the ability to instantly assess the risk level and threat context of connections both inside and outside their networks. Threats are identified in near real time, allowing companies to block the sources of threats as they happen.
Norse's in-house team of cyber intelligence and counterintelligence fusion analysts, many recruited directly from military and government intelligence organizations, are at the core of the Norse Threat Intelligence Service. These security professionals deeply understand the wider threat landscape and each customer's incident response options and offer the crucial human touch missing from fully automated solutions.

Do one thing extremely well. Refine the process. Do it again.
If your business is focused on a great idea, you'd better be sure that everything about your brand reinforces the core benefits of that idea.
You've got an idea. Great. Now ask if it's unique, significant and transformative enough to build a business around.
What is your strategy to develop that idea into a business?
What are the granular steps that you and your team must take to execute on that strategy? .
While many might consider a narrow focus a limitation, I view it as an asset. Small businesses lack the seemingly endless resources of larger competitors. Staying focused on what the company does best — and what makes it different — allows the organization to refine the product and emphasize subtle yet critical differences that might have slipped through the cracks at larger companies. While larger companies focus on thousands of product lines with a variety of consumer benefits, a small organization can attend almost exclusively to one proprietary point of difference that consumers can easily understand.
In 2005, Box.com was one of the first companies to offer cloud-based file sharing and content-management services to businesses and individuals. While larger companies like Google and Amazon had a similar suite of services to offer customers, Box.com's exclusive focus on this niche told customers this was all the company did and suggested that it was the best at it. This first mover advantage is one that competitors have still not yet been able to overcome.
Before Bonobos was an omnichannel retailer doing hundreds of millions in annual revenue, it made pants, really good pants, ones that fit guys the way they wanted, that they couldn't get anywhere else. The company mastered making and selling pants. Once it earned customers' trust by delivering one quality product again and again, it evolved into a company that they trusted for outfitting more than just their bottom half.
So how do you translate a good idea — one that you and your company have been able to successfully execute — into a brand? A brand evokes a feeling in customers every time they interact with it.
First, ask yourself what you want that feeling to be. Once everyone agrees with it, paint this on the walls of your office. Tattoo it on your wrists. Let it be the guiding light of the business. Then, the same principle applies: Focus.
Steve Jobs famously said, "Innovation is not about saying yes to everything. It's about saying no to all but the most crucial features." Let the customer know exactly what the brand stands for and why it needs to be part of their life.
At my company, all we think about every day is innovation on behalf of the basketball player, no one else. And while this focus omits a sizeable portion of a potential customer base, it lets core clients know that we're looking out for them. And customers can reward that focus with their most important asset: loyalty.


TheWrap is reporting that according to their sources, the second Star Wars Anthology film will be all about your favorite Mandalorian bounty hunter: Boba Fett. Disney had no comment, so consider this solid but unofficial.
This would be the film that Josh Trank is no longer directing for whatever reason. A new director hasn't yet been announced for the film, but I suspect we'll see a shortlist soon. This as-yet-untitled Star Wars Anthology film is currently scheduled for release in 2018.
If this is true (and it likely is), who should play Fett? Should they give it to Temeura Morrison again for continuity's sake, or should they recast? If it's young Fett movie, they could give it to Daniel Logan, the New Zealander of Maori descent who played him in Attack of the Clones. He's nearly 30 now, so that would work out age-wise. They'll still probably recast the character as some white guy, though.
Oh, and who the hell should they get to replace Trank?

Description: Visual support aimed at clarifying to which school corresponds to go to students with autism enrolled in combined modality Prepared by the CPEE_Latores within the CREEME Project (Resource Center for Special Education and other Specific Measures). This project consisted in the conversion of the specific center into a resource center for the ordinary reference schools of students with autism enrolled in a combined modality.
This visual support, in particular, was used by the families of the participating students to explain to their sons or daughters which school they had to attend according to the day of the week and for this they were advised by an itinerant teacher from the specific school who was traveling to the ordinary center to said work.
Design of the support, preparation of photographs, selection of pictograms and explanatory text, lamination and cutting and implementation in the ordinary center by the itinerant teacher of the specific center.


To get more information on the fatigue behavior of Ti-alloys, the growth of long cracks and of physically short bidimensional cracks has been studied on a TA6V alloy.
This article presents some results obtained on the influence of the crack wake on the propagation of fatigue cracks in specimens tested in ambient air and in high vacuum.
Few researches have been carried out on the influence of environment on the fatigue propagation of short cracks apart from those specific ally related to the so called corrosive environments. Previous studies on 7075 aluminum alloys and a construction steel have shown that the initial growth of short cracks occurs at a much lower stress intensity range (AK) in an active environment (ambient air or nitrogen containing traces of water vapor) than in vacuum. However, Gerdes have shown that there is no significant difference in the initial stress level in air and in vacuum for small surface cracks initiated in a Ti-8.6 Al alloy.
Moreover, crack closure is known to play a dominant role in influencing near threshold growth rates. Through the removal of material from the wake of long crack arrested at threshold, several authors have studied the location and the origin of crack closure. It has been concluded that the behavior of short and long bidimensional cracks can be rationalized in terms of the effective stress intensity factor range for Al alloys and steels.
To get more information on the fatigue behavior of Ti-alloys, the growth of long cracks and of physically short bidimensional cracks has been studied on a TA6V alloy. This article presents some results obtained on the influence of the crack wake on the propagation of fatigue cracks in specimens tested in ambient air and in high vacuum.
The material used for this investigation was a forged Ti-6AI-4V alloy (wt % 6.27 Al, 3.86 V, 0.12 Fe, 0.18 O2). After forging the alloy was heat treated at 955°C for 1 h 30 min. and water quenched, followed by 2 h at 700°C and air-cooling.
Fatigue crack propagation tests were carried out under ambient air and high vacuum (< 5.104 Pa) on CT specimens 5 or 12 mm thick and 24 mm wide, at a test frequency of 35 Hz and a load ratio R = 0.1. Crack advance was optically monitored and crack closure was detected by mean of the compliance technique with a back face strain gauge.
A long crack was first obtained at a/w ~0.5 using a load shedding procedure down to threshold or at constant ΔK. Then the plastic wake of the crack was progressively removed by spark erosion to obtain a crack length about 0.1 mm. Then the bidimensional short through cracks were propagated at increasing ΔK.
The relationship between the propagation rate da/dN and the nominal (ΔK) and the effective (ΔKeff) stress intensity factor ranges are plotted for tests performed in ambient air at R = 0.1 and 35 Hz on the Ti 6AI-4V alloy. Decreasing the specimen thickness from 12 to 5.5 mm lowers the nominal threshold range but does not affect the effective threshold range (ΔKeff)th. Consequently the thinner specimen corresponds to a lower Kop level.
The 5.5 thick specimens were tested in air and in high vacuum. A strong detrimental influence of the ambient environment on the resistance to crack propagation at low rates can be observed. The effective data confirm that the ΔKeff concept cannot account for the influence of environment.
Consequently, the crack growth mechanism in moist ambient air (about 50% R.H.) must be different from the intrinsic mechanism governing crack propagation in vacuum. Similar behaviors have previously been observed on Al-alloys and steels, for which materials an embrittling effect of water vapor adsorbed at the crack tip has been proposed. A similar mechanism could be suggested for Ti-alloys.
Crack closure location to analyze the location of crack closure, the crack wake was progressively removed and Kop measurements were performed at each step of this procedure.
The evolution of Kop versus the remaining crack length Δa is plotted for cracks pregrown at threshold ambient air on 5.5 mm and 12 mm thick specimens. The lowering of Kop at decreasing Δa is more pronounced on the thinner specimen. At Δa ~0.1 mm no closure was detected on the 5.5 mm thick specimen while a substantial remaining closure effect was measured with the thicker specimen. The length, along which the decrease in Kop was observed, i.e. where crack closure is localized, is about 1.5 mm for the thinner specimen thickness and 0.7 mm for the thicker one.
A complementary test on a 12 mm thick specimen was performed at a constant ΔK of 7.5 MpaV/m corresponding to a constant growth rate about 3x10-9 m/cycle. Removing the crack wake did not affect Kop except when Δa is 0.1 mm.
The same measurements were made on cracks pregrown at threshold in vacuum. It was seen that, as in air, Kop is lower for the smaller thickness but it is independent of Δa. Similar observations have been made on a construction steel type E460.
As a consequence of these observations, it appears that the short crack effect (defined as the decrease in Kop with Δa) depends upon the embrittling effect of environment for cracks pregrown near threshold in air. However, for the crack pregrown at a constant rate of 3x10-9 m/cycle, Kop is, as in vacuum, independent of Δa, which suggests that this embrittling effect in air occurs only at ultra low rates. But an environmental influence is also observed at rates higher than 10-9 m/cycle. This suggests the existence of two distinct regimes in environmentally assisted crack growth. Similar behaviors have been observed on Al-alloys and steels.
The short cracks here obtained on 5.5 mm specimens were propagated at increasing ΔK. In vacuum, there was no difference between long and short cracks, which was consistent with the independence of Kop upon Δa. Initially, the short crack grew for about 0.3 mm at ultra low rates (about 3 to 6x10-11 m/cycle) without any detectable closure. There after, there was an abrupt acceleration of the crack rate and crack closure was detected; and then progressively, a behavior similar to the one of a long crack was reached for a crack length about 1 mm.
The effective data confirm the existence of a typical near threshold mechanism without closure, which is different from the mechanism governing the propagation above 2x10-10 m/cycle. The microfractographic aspects of the fracture surfaces show that, compared to vacuum, the fades in air appear more brittle with crystallographic facets corresponding to a grains and lamellae. This crystallographic aspect is more developed at ultra low rates. On going experiments will hopefully give new information, which may permit a deeper analysis of these crack growth mechanisms.
Under such condition a propagation regime typical of ultra low rates, without detectable closure, is observed for short cracks grown in ambient air.

Bronwen Konecky's research investigates climate, water, and ecosystem variations in the Earth's tropical regions, from the past ~150,000 years to the 21st century.
Konecky's dual focus on ancient and modern systems provides a geologic perspective on present-day climate change, while using present-day climate processes to better understand the geologic past. Her lab's research investigates tropical climate variability and climate change using tools of stable isotope hydrology, paleolimnology, organic geochemistry, and modeling. Her group's work is guided by one overarching question: How does a changing climate affect rainfall and ecosystems in the Earth's tropical regions?
Konecky received her undergraduate degree in Environmental Science from Barnard College, Columbia University. In her graduate work at Brown University, she studied tropical climate and paleoclimate, focusing on reconstructing past environments using the geochemistry of lake sediments. Her dissertation title was "Decadal to Orbital Scale Climate Change in the Indian Ocean Region: Precipitation Isotopic Perspectives from East Africa and Indonesia."
After finishing her doctorate, Konecky undertook postdoctoral training in paleoclimate modeling at Georgia Tech and the University of Colorado Boulder, working closely with the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO. From 2014-17, she held postdoctoral fellow and research scientist positions at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. She joined the Washington University faculty in January 2018.
Stable isotope hydroclimatology
Stable O and H isotope ratios of environmental waters (e.g. precipitation, lake water, seawater) are powerful tracers of the global water cycle. The Konecky group collects precipitation and surface waters from locations such as Indonesia, Botswana, and Uganda (and, soon, Missouri!). The δ18O and δD of these waters help us to decode the physical processes that drive the tropical water cycle, such as monsoonal moisture sources, transport paths, and recycling between the land surface and the atmosphere.
Paleolimnology and organic geochemistry
Lake sediments contain valuable information about climatic and environmental conditions around the watershed when the sediment was deposited. These natural climate archives allow us to examine climate variability and climate change over the span of decades to hundreds of thousands of years. The Konecky group uses a range of paleolimnological tools, particularly the H and C isotopic composition of leaf wax biomarkers, to reconstruct long-term changes in African, Indonesian, and (soon) South American climate.
Paleoclimate modeling and data synthesis
Synthesis of paleoclimate records allows regional to global patterns to become clear. Earth system models afford the opportunity to examine why these patterns may have occurred. The Konecky group uses "big data" approaches to synthesize paleoclimate data from a range of archives (e.g., speleothems, sediments, ice cores) and compares these data with water isotope-equipped earth system models. Current time periods of interest include the past 1000 years, the Holocene, and the Last Glacial Maximum.

Our favourite music institution RVNG Intl. from Brooklyn has recently published a compilation with songs by Mark Renner who originates from Baltimore. All of the pieces were developed between 1982 and 1990. RVNG boss Matt Werth has discovered Renners album "all walks of this life" at a fleamarket and he was immediately excited about hearing more of this music.
One could not overhear the influence of bands like Ultravox, Felt or the Yellow Magic Orchestra. The latest compilation also hosts instrumental pieces that Renner composed exclusively for an exhibition of paintings. Today Mark is still active as an artist and musician. We've asked him about his recent work, his inspiration and his future plans.
Hello, I am Mark Renner, a painter and musician.
Concering your work nowadays, what are your main themes?
My visual work is primarily figurative, and has much to do with mining the beauty of the ignoble, the journeys and struggles of the marginalized, sojourners and searchers, usually adrift in some imaginary landscape. My lyrics run in a similar direction, and as I advance in age I find I seek in some way to create elegies forthose I have lost, or in some small way chronicle the lives, profound or ephemeral moments frequently lost inliving.
How do you make a living as an artist?
I have exhibited my visual work in galleries, museums festivals and fairs In the US and Europe and have been fortunate to sell paintings and be granted financial awards. In addition, my recordings are available thru the usual download companies, as well as Bandcamp, CD Baby, Amazon etc.
The constant challenge of converting the inward swellings of the imagination to canvas or in music and song.
What kind of music are you listening to at the moment?
Tomotsugu Nakamura - An Opened Book in the Dark.
Dead Light- Dead Light. Ian William Craig - SlowVessels.
Talk about Baltimore, how is it like to live there?
The city, as with many other post- industrial ports and cities of America has struggled through the past few decades with the demise of major employers as, well as crime and drug addiction. I'm afraid the blight and crime that usually captures the major headlines, eclipses the good and the individuals that are working to make their city better.
What about your research in field recordings? I heard you were in Switzerland. Tell us about the process, what kind of sound did you capture?
I had come primarily to visit Montagnola, near lake Lugano, en route to Italy. There were several things that captivated me- organ practice in a small chapel in Zurich, and the way the muted sounds floated as approaching the closed doors, the morning birdsong , as well as a student struggling on a grand piano in a chamber, resounding through the halls of an inn where I was staying.
After the nineties you were a humanitarian worker in Ethiopia. What did you experience?
It is a project I am still involved with. Aside from the obvious disparity in economic opportunity and dangerous environmental health conditions and the deep and continuing devastation from HIV/ AIDS, it was an immediate, and humbling exposure of the blessings taken for granted in the West/ my own country and life, and the imperative to consider " the least of these ". It has also been a delight in each subsequent return, to see the impact the project has made in the lives and families of the beneficiaries, and now with ARV medication, how women and children who once viewed an HIV+ diagnosis as a death sentence, have an opportunity to lead relatively normal lives and somehow find hope for the future.
Many of your instrumental and wordless pieces were used for your sound installations. Tell us about combining sound and space.
Initially I viewed it as creating an atmosphere, to augment a personal viewing. In providing cassettes/headphones as an option to those viewing the work, it became an individual, enclosed experience. Later, in a different exhibition, I had the audio works playing aloud in the gallery. I think I prefer to offer it as a personal , solitary experience as I sense that the impact of the recorded work can at times suffer due to the din and incidental sounds of activity within the gallery.
Are you happy with the reissue on RVNG? How everything happen?
I am glad to see the label growing, and seeking to produce and introduce the work of artists often laboring in obscurity, to a wider audience. My relationship with RVNG was initiated by Matt Werth who contacted me about one of the songs on the recording. We corresponded and he mentioned his label and sent me some of his earlier releases. At the time, I had been contacted by someone in Europe looking to re- release my first two albums and I asked Matt if we could postpone our discussions for a few months until I heard back from the other label. As it transpired, things didn't materialize, so Matt and I began corresponding as he informed me of the package that he wanted to put together. RVNG was patient while I combed through the pieces I hads aved, contacted former bandmates, sifted through basements and attics to see what was still available from that period. I think they went to great care to try and preserve the music from the various sources I could find to work with. I suppose the best thing I could say about it is that they didn't attempt to assemble a "Best of " package, to me it is more akin to an artists sketchbook that represents the idea without the gloss applied in the final execution.
What does sound mean to you?
My father is completely deaf. Years after losing his hearing, he told me that he has missed music more than he has missed being able to hear voices. Music, the sounds and melody, tones and chords enrich life and for me, provide hints of the Divine. Sound is curious in its ability to arrest one's attention, to calm or excite, to transport, or repel.
I am concluding work on a brand new record : Seaworthy Vessels are in Short Supply. I am hoping to have it completed by the middle of April, for an autumn release. Along with this I have another recording of wordless pieces: Salt and Firewood. This will be the 30th year since my album- Painter's Joy was released, and I am planning a cd/dl release with bonus material included. Additionally, I have an exhibition of my visual work opening in Dallas, at the end of June.
during last years ctm/transmediale festival i met cera khin, berlin based artist and selector with tunisian roots, in a breezy-cold passage in front of the hardwax record store. we went for a small walk through the area and later sat down in a shady bar where we had an inspiring talk about her lazy tapes label, weird horror movies and lots of other random stuff we both liked. i asked cera if she would like to play at our rhizom festival in zurich that spring, an alternative music festival i was intensely involved in back then.
it's always exciting to rediscover old music, especially it when suddenly affects the zeitgeist in a current way. this happened with the track "the birds" by californian musician rick cuevas. cuevas, incidentally, is one of the founding members of the avant-pop band zru vogue. i had the pleasure of asking rick some questions about the past days.
