Newark artist transcends genres in latest exhibition
Billy Anania
@billyanania
Gregg Bautista has only been painting for a few years, but you would never know it from his work.
The 29-year-old Newark artist's latest exhibition is an ambitious deconstruction of sociopolitical issues and aesthetics. "Convenient Plasticities," on display at Gateway Project Spaces through Sept. 1, features new paintings that were created with innovative sourcing techniques. The show's title refers to Bautista's process, and his position in relation to the work.
"I have the privileged knowledge of the material I'm using," he said. "Any sort of manipulation contextually or physically, the plasticity of the medium or these ideas, is convenient for me because I am the author."
ARTISTS: Gary Mellon carves humanity into wooden sculptures
Bautista's paintings display a kinetic fluidity, overflowing with sharp imagery and psychedelic patterns. He emphasizes the visceral nature of metaphysical space through color and form, blending abstraction and figuration into a hypnotic hybrid of genres. To accomplish this, he uses oil, watercolor and acrylic paints on wood and canvas.
A native of Toms River, Bautista's first foray into art involved local bands in the Asbury Park music scene. He created illustrations and designs for indie rock groups such as Accidental Seabirds and No More Pain, without any previous professional training.
GALLERIES: Porkchop brings spiritual assembly to Asbury Park
He studied fine art at Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts, where he first developed painting skills. Starting with figurative works, he transitioned to the new medium by applying his experience in illustration and design. But over time, he branched out to the abstract realm, exploring different dimensions of his creativity.
After further development, Bautista re-incorporated figuration into his pieces, but differently. He began printing open-source images and making three-dimensional paper models, re-creating them with paint on flat surfaces. He also references historical art, along with photos and paintings he made himself. The end result could be described as "interdimensional," a manipulation of form and color that deliberately skews perceptions of time and space.
ABSTRACT: Asbury artist blends mixed media with terrestrial tones
In his wooden panel paintings, Bautista alters the colors of his disparate sources to be more in tune with the overall surfaces. But in larger canvas paintings, he ensures that colors speak to each other through the different images, with just the right amount of tension. These works depict an optical dissonance, leading the viewer to explore the many layers.
The subject matter of "Convenient Plasticities" involves politics, culture, race and body identity. The artist claims his work is a reaction to ways public figures and politicians manipulate narratives for their own benefits. Bautista's method, however, places the emphasis on the viewer. He explains this concept through example.
"If you take a public square, intended to be a place of recreation, a place of gathering, you involve politics and it becomes a place to disseminate information," he said. "It can become a place of protest and rioting. Therefore, the events are defining the use of the space, but the space is also defining the role of the people occupying it."
NEW YORK: Italian artist reaches great heights at Met Breuer exhibition
It is in that area of thinking, of how these forces influence each other, that the artist has developed his own style. Bautista juxtaposes charged images, such as photos of Aleppo in Syria and various impoverished neighborhoods, with other images of dissimilar subject matter. Through juxtaposition, he redefines the purpose of the images to create new meanings. This process could be described as manipulation beyond recognition.
"I'm looking to take away the context of them so that in the new final space, the viewer in exploring it creates a new context or narrative themselves," he said. "Instead of recontextualizing images, I'm decontextualizing."
HIGHLANDS: Stacey Pritchard takes classical approach to modern art
"Convenient Plasticities" is rich with artistic integrity and thematic consistency, showing Bautista's intuitive reactions to society and culture. The results are original and extraordinary.
In the past, Bautista has exhibited at EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop in New York, as well as a few Brooklyn and New Brunswick galleries. To see more of his work, follow @greggbautista on Instagram or visit www.greggbautista.com.

"I like to open the doors of the human brain" - Philippe Starck
School dropout Philippe Starck jump-started his career by designing two nightclub interiors in Paris in the 1970s. The success of the clubs won the attention of President Francois Mitterand, who asked Starck to refurbish one of the private apartments in the Elysee Palace. Two years later, Starck designed the interior of the Café Costes, in Paris and was on his way to becoming a design celebrity. In quick succession, he created elegant interiors for the Royalton and Paramount hotels in New York, the Delano in Miami and the Mondrian in Los Angeles. He also began to produce chairs, lamps, motorbikes, boats and a line of house wares and kitchen utensils, like his Juicy Salif for Alessi.
During the 1980s and 90s Starck continued his prolific creativity. His products have sensual, appealing forms suggestive of character or personal identity and Starck often conferred upon them clever, poetic or whimsical names (for example, his La Marie chair and playful Prince Aha stool). Starck's furniture also often reworks earlier decorative styles. For example, the elegant Dr. No chair is a traditional club chair made unexpectedly of injection-molded plastic. While the material and form would seem to be contradictions, it is just such paradoxes that make Starck's work so compelling. Starck's approach to design is subversive, intelligent and always interesting.
His objects surprise and delight even as they transgress boundaries and subvert expectations. During the 90s Starck has also begun to promote product longevity and to stipulate that morality, honesty and objectivity become part of the design process. He has said that the designer's role is to create more "happiness" with less. For all his fame Starck's work remains a serious and important expression of 20th century creativity.

Fulcran von Lodève (; * um 926; † 13. Februar 1006) war in der zweiten Hälfte des 10. und im frühen 11. Jahrhundert Bischof von Lodève in Okzitanien. Sein Gedenktag ist der 13. Februar.

Vita
Trotz mehrerer erhaltener Lebensbeschreibungen und seines Testaments gibt es kaum verlässliche Daten über Fulcrans Leben. Er stammte der Überlieferung nach aus einer wohlhabenden, wahrscheinlich sogar adeligen Familie. Bereits in jungen Jahren wurde er zum Priester geweiht; im Jahr 949 wurde er Bischof von Lodève und erbaute in den 970er Jahren die örtliche Kathedrale neu. Auch mehrere andere Klöster und Kirchen seiner Diözese wurden von ihm restauriert. Im Jahr 990 nahm er am Konzil von Le Puy teil. Etwa 10 Jahre später leitete er die erstmalige Erhebung der Gebeine Wilhelms von Aquitanien († 812) im Kloster Gellone, dem heutigen Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert. Er wurde in der Krypta der Kathedrale von Lodève beigesetzt. Sein unverwester Leichnam wurde im Jahr 1127 erhoben, doch während der Hugenottenkriege in der zweiten Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts von den Protestanten verbrannt; nur wenige Reliquienreste blieben erhalten.

Verehrung
Außer der ehemaligen Kathedrale und heutigen Kirche St. Fulcran in Lodève sind dem Heiligen keine weiteren Kirchen oder Kapellen geweiht.

Darstellung
Mittelalterliche Darstellungen des Heiligen sind unbekannt; seit dem 19. Jahrhundert wird er, wenn auch nur vereinzelt, im Bischofsornat mit Stab und Mitra dargestellt.

This issue of Advances in Polar Science exclusively contains papers that are about polar research programs and activities of countries in the Asian region. Although several Asian nations (Japan, India, China, Republic of Korea) have been involved in Antarctic research for more than 30 years, there is a new and growing interest in the Asian region in scientific activity in both the Arctic and Antarctic. The Asian Forum for Polar Sciences (AFoPS), established in 2004, is a regional consortium that aims to facilitate scientific research for the support and protection of polar environment, which has achieved multilateral research and logistics cooperation among Asian nations. The first paper in this issue, by A. Colombo, reviews the organisation, activities and achievements of AFoPs over fifteen years.
The other papers here present research results, from both polar regions, over a broad spectrum of natural science, ranging from investigation of the organic composition of Arctic sediments through to the possibility of terahertz observations of distant galaxies from the high Antarctic plateau. Some of these papers were first presented at the scientific sessions of 2017 and 2018 Annual General Meetings of AFoPs held in Shanghai and Xiamen during China's chairmanship of the Forum.
We are grateful for the assistance from—Dr. Wentao Huang (Polar Research Institute of China), Dr. Satoshi Imura (National Institute for Polar Research, Japan), Dr. Hiroshi Matsuo (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan), Dr. Rahul Mohan (National Centre for Antarctic & Ocean Research, India), Dr. Azizan Abu Samah (National Antarctic Research Center, Malaysia), Dr. Hyoung Chul Shin (Korea Polar Research Institute), Dr. Masaki Tsutsumi (National Institute for Polar Research, Japan), Dr. Voranop Viyakarn (Polar Science Consortium of Thailand), Dr. Kentaro Watanabe (National Institute for Polar Research, Japan), Dr. Yong Yu (Polar Research Institute of China), Dr. Beichen Zhang (Polar Research Institute of China), Dr. Hongyan Zhou (Polar Research Institute of China)—who served as Guest Editors for some of the papers in this issue.

Отто Густавович (Евстафьевич) Гиппиус, при рождении Отто Пиус Гиппиус (; 1826, Санкт-Петербург — 29 августа 1883, Каболовка) — российский архитектор балтийско-немецкого происхождения, теоретик и практик церковного зодчества. Академик архитектуры Императорской Академии художеств.

Биография
Отто Гиппиус родился в Санкт-Петербурге  года в семье художника и литографа Густава Адольфа Гиппиуса. Учился в Ларинской гимназии (вып. 1846) и Политехникуме в Карлсруэ (Баден), который окончил в 1849 году с золотой медалью.

С 1849 по 1851 год он учился в Императорской Академии художеств в Санкт-Петербурге, после завершения которой продолжал работать архитектором и педагогом: был учителем рисования в Мариинском (1851—1856) и Елизаветинском (1875—1883) институтах, Литейной женской гимназии, Центральном училище технического рисования барона Штиглица (1880—1881) и Строительном училище, где читал об архитектурных формах, стиле и библиотечном деле, преподавал черчение и был библиотекарем.

В 1853 году за проекты архитектурных чертежей был удостоен похвалы от Совета академии и звания свободного художника; в 1864 году получил звание академика за проект думы для столичного города. С 1879 года имел звание профессора. Гиппиус состоял также архитектором Государственного контроля, почётным членом Московского совета детских приютов (1874—1875).

В январе 1881 года он заболел воспалением лёгких и получил осложнение в виде скоротечной лёгочной чахотки. Весной 1882 года он был послан врачами на юг Европы, но, желая умереть на родине, вскоре вернулся в Петербург и поселился на даче в деревне Каболовке близ Парголова, где и умер  года. Был похоронен на Смоленском евангелическом кладбище.

Проекты и постройки
С 1860 года Отто Гиппиус поставил главной задачей своей архитектурной деятельности создание стиля для протестантских храмов. Находя, что тип католических церквей, по образцу которых строились обыкновенно протестантские церкви, не соответствует духу протестантизма и особенностям протестантского богослужения, в котором первенствующее значение имеет проповедь, он направил свои усилия к созданию такого храма, в котором при массе простора и света и при наружной монументальности достигались бы две главные цели: проповедник был бы виден и слышан отовсюду. Свои идеи Гиппиус изложил в ряде брошюр. Первым практическим осуществлением его мысли была лютеранская церковь Св. Карла в Ревеле (Церковь Каарли). Затем он принял участие в конкурсе на сооружение Берлинского кафедрального собора; составил также два проекта лютеранских соборов, за которые получил медаль на Филадельфийской выставке в 1876 году и звание профессора в 1879 году.

К наиболее известным архитектурным произведениям Гиппиуса относятся:
 Церковь Каарли (1862—1870) в неороманском стиле в Таллине, по совместному проекту с Рудольфом фон Бернгардом
 армяно-лютеранская церковь в Шемахе (1868—1869)
 Александровская церковь (1881—1884) в неоготическом стиле в Нарве

Помимо этого, Гиппиус спроектировал несколько зданий в Санкт-Петербурге:
главное здание Евангелической женской больницы (Лиговский пр., 2–4 – Некрасова ул., 45 1869—1871),
комплекс сооружений Главного газового завода Общества столичного освещения, включая газгольдеры (Обводного наб.к., 72–74 1858—1862),
особняк военного министра (Садовая ул., 4 1872—1874), жилой дом для чиновников военного министерства, а также на Кавказе.

Ему принадлежат проекты загородных домов в Саратовской (1864—1865), Гродненской (1868—1869, для сенатора Крузенштерна), Петербургской (1876—1877 г., для E. К. Фоса) и Эстляндской (1879—1883, дворец Загниц графа Берга)

Семья
Его младший брат Карл тоже стал известным архитектором.

Был женат с 1870 года на Эмме Яковлевне Шмидт, дочери лейб-акушера и профессора архитектуры.

Well, I took some pretty decent pictures while we were there (and some bad ones I'm sure) but sadly, sweet boyfriend uninstalled itunes, and his phone won't talk to my computer.
So, I was going to pilfer some from google, but couldn't really find anything good.. so in the meantime here's my super awesome leather bracelet I bought from a guy in character.
You can see my nifty blue tree stamp on my hand.
Today we super duper cleaned the house, still have laundry going WHEW. Also, I'm noticing this is my 95th post! I'll have to think of something fun for the big 100.

Apostles of my love, it is up to you to spread the love of my Son to all those who have not come to know it; you, the little lights of the world, whom I am teaching with motherly love to shine clearly with full brilliance. Prayer will help you, because prayer saves you, prayer saves the world. Therefore, my children, pray with words, feelings, merciful love and sacrifice. My Son has shown you the way - He who became incarnate and made of me the first chalice, with His exalted sacrifice He has shown you how you need to love. Therefore, my children, do not be afraid to speak the truth. Do not be afraid to change yourself and the world by spreading love, by doing everything for my Son to be known and loved by loving others in Him. As a mother I am always with you. I am imploring my Son to help you for love to reign in your life - love that lives, love that draws, love which gives life. I am teaching you such love - pure love. It is up to you, my apostles, to recognize it, live it and spread it. Pray with feeling for your shepherds so that they can witness my Son with love. Thank you."

LONDON (Reuters) - A British man who suggested Islamist militants should target four-year-old Prince George - destined to be Britain's future king - was sentenced to life in jail on Friday.
Rashid posted information on the messaging platform, Telegram, to encourage jihadis to carry out attacks around the world, along with information about possible targets.
Prosecutors said this included posting a picture of Prince George, son of Queen Elizabeth's grandson Prince William and third-in-line to the throne, next to the silhouettes of two jihadi fighters.

The Painting Salon is a monthly lecture series aimed at fostering a dialogue about contemporary art in the Bay Area, with an emphasis on painting. Each month, we invite two artists to present their work at a new art space, gallery or artist's studio. With the nomadic venue and expanding roster of presenters, the Salon hopes to foster community by introducing artists to new audiences and artists to each other. Guests are invited to contribute to the event through pot luck offerings of drinks and snacks.
Here's a link to our website and a peek at our upcoming programming: thepaintingsalon.com
We believe it is important to value the work that artists do and so we offer all our presenters a stipend for their time and contributions. The donations will also go to help us expand our online archive to include recordings, documentation, interviews and other resources for artists beyond the Bay Area.
Here's an example of a recent lecture by the art historian Claire Daigle, A Chromophiliac's Guide to Painting in the 20th and 21st Centuries hosted by the Minnesota Street Project. Check out the video here:

Life as a Boston College student often entails more than balancing challenging classwork and a fulfilling social life. For many, just balancing those two is enough to make them want to cut back a little. But hundreds of students each year add another element to the mix: an on-campus job. Whether they're working just to earn some extra spending money or to fulfill a work-study grant, these students manage to set aside about 10 hours per week to fill a variety of roles. From the dining halls to the labs, four student give an inside look at what it's like to work on campus.
Although she's only been working at Hillside since the beginning of this semester, Renee Bichette, A&S '17, is already getting the hang of things at the ever-popular dining location and helping to make sure that even rush hour isn't too stressful.
Heights: How long have you been an employee here at Hillside?
Bichette: Two weeks. I just started working here this semester.
Heights: How did you hear about this job and eventually get it?
Bichette: One of my [fencing] teammates works at Hillside, and I was really looking for an on-campus job for my work-study. She said she worked here for lunch and the beginning of dinner and was like, "It's really not that bad." I emailed the manager and he was like, "Yeah, we need people!" I didn't want to work at the dining halls-there are so many people there! Hillside's smaller so you really don't have to deal with the rush and stuff.
Heights: What are your tasks here?
Bichette: I pretty much do anything they need me to do. I'm usually behind the sandwich line and then sometimes I work at the coffee bar.
Heights: What would you say, so far, is one of the most difficult things about adjusting to the job?
Heights: Is there anything particularly interesting about the job?
Bichette: I really like the people I work with because they're all student employees. They're not all my age, like some of them are grad students, but we all get along really well and it makes the job a lot more fun. I really like working here. There's something else about Hillside that I really like, but I don't know exactly what that is.
After a stint at BC's cable TV services for the last few years, Katlyn Prentice, A&S '14, has been putting her eventual film degree and experiences in the department's undergraduate research program to work as a teaching assistant and mentor for this year's Filmmaking 1 course.
Heights: How long have you been a TA?
Prentice: Officially, this year, but I also did an undergraduate research fellowship in the film department last year, so I kind of had TA responsibilities within that as well.
Heights: What are your tasks as a TA?
Prentice: We manage the equipment here, so if students need to check out equipment for their projects we check that out for them and make sure that they return that with proper wear and tear and with nothing missing. We also help students out with editing advice or filming advice. I'll come to the end of classes and help the professor if necessary-basically anything the students need, we take care of so the professors don't have to. A lot of these professors work at other universities and aren't on campus much.
Heights: How did you find out about this job, and why did you pick it?
Prentice: The TAs are more or less selected to become a TA. Also having done the undergraduate research fellowship last year, I was really involved within the department itself. With that association and doing well in film classes, I became a TA.
Heights: What was this fellowship about? Was it more research- or project-based?
Prentice: It was with Professor Michalczyk, and basically I helped him work on his documentaries and do various film department tasks. I was camera operator on his most recent documentary and went into Boston to film some things.
Heights: What would you say is one of the most challenging things about your job?
Prentice: Usually trying to keep the students on track with getting their equipment in. Sometimes they'll have it out for days and you'll have to say, "Guys, you need to bring it in because a lot of other people need that." You also get situations where they have an assignment due tomorrow and it's the night before, and they say, "Hey, can you meet me at the film room to get some equipment?" But we have set hours for them to come in, so that's probably the most challenging.
Heights: What's something you find especially interesting about the job that you might not find in another on campus?
Prentice: I think it's cool because you're involved with their projects and you see what they're working on, how they're doing it. You can give them advice and sort of be a mentor for students that need help, because it can be really complicated.
Cristian Lopez, CSOM '14, has hopped around from job to job throughout his time at BC. A little bit of luck and his characteristic willingness to strike up a conversation with just about anyone eventually landed him his most recent gig in the Student Services office.
Heights: How long have you been working in the Student Services office?
Lopez: Since September. I was lucky to get a job here as a senior-they usually hire lowerclassmen here.
Heights: Here at Student Services, you work in administration. What's a usual day like?
Lopez: I basically consider myself the personal assistant of Jane McGuire, who oversees pretty much the scheduling for all of Student Services. Mostly, it's stocking up the closets … and running errands, because Student Services sends a lot of inter-office deliveries. It's really anything. We do a lot of lunches where Jane will pay for the office to have lunch, so I'll help set up for the lunches. Normally she has a card so that when we don't do lunch, the workers can have a free lunch in the Rat so I'll be downstairs swiping for everybody. A lot of random tasks like that.
Heights: How did you get this job? It seems like one that not many people would know about.
Lopez: Luck, definitely! I came in here in September, and the position was posted because the person she'd had for the past four years was graduating in the fall. It so happened that when I went to apply, she was there, and she's normally not because she's always running around. So I got to talk to her in person. We just clicked, and I didn't even know she was Jane McGuire! But she liked me and pretty much hired me on the spot. It was nice.
Heights: Is there anything that you find tricky about the job?
Lopez: I would say that because Jane is in a position where she interacts with a lot of people here, and a lot of them just come in and grab something, I have to know who is allowed to do that and pay attention to things like that.
Heights: What do you find most interesting about your job?
Lopez: My job is more project-based. Jane will give me something like early on in the semester where I had to do an Excel spreadsheet where I counted up all of the students in each major at Boston College to help her for a presentation. There's no traditional day I would say. There's no routine, which I like. Maybe some people wouldn't.
Ryan Dikdan, A&S '15, is one of many students who are already contributing to science by helping a biochem professor conduct research in one of BC's many on-campus labs.
Heights: Which lab are you working in for this semester?
Dikdan: The Chatterjee lab. I'm working on a project about … in layman's terms, we're trying to make a special protein so that we can turn it on and off with UV light. The protein's involved with cancer-once the protein activates, the cell will kill itself, so if the cell becomes cancerous it has a self-defense mechanism if we turn this protein on. If one cell gets cancer you're fine, but if it metastasizes and gets bigger it's a problem.
Heights: How long have you been working there?
Heights: How did you get this job?
Dikdan: To see whether or not I liked research I emailed Dr. Burgess and worked in his lab last semester, so I knew how to do it. All I did was email a bunch of bio professors and go, "Hey, can I work in your lab?" They pretty much just tell you if they have room or not. I saw a lecture by Dr. Chatterjee … on something I find very fascinating, protein engineering and incorporation of amino acids in the protein. So I emailed him and talked to him about working in his lab and doing a thesis next year. I kept bugging him about working there.
Heights: So this research might lead to a thesis?
Dikdan: I might get a paper published before that, which would be awesome. We're working in a field that not too many people work in for some reason, although I think it has amazing potential.
Heights: How did your previous lab experience prepare you for this one?
Dikdan: All the basic techniques of biology are really similar. That's the best part of working in a research lab. I took a bio lab course, but it's different when you actually have a purpose and are working under a grad student.

Big Man Japan (**)
BIG MAN JAPAN
Weird Japanese mockumentary about a man who, when charged with electricity, transforms into Big Man Japan, the Ultraman-like protector of the Japanese islands. When he isn't a fifty foot tall naked, tattooed, fat guy who carries a big stick and battles even stranger monsters, Big Man Japan is a lonely divorced father who squeaks by an ignoble existence while angry citizens mock him and throw rocks through his windows. The sixth generation of Big Man Japan, Masaru Daisatô, as he is known in real life, is a sad sack. His ex-wife keeps his beloved daughter away from him so she can't carry on the tradition of turning into a huge naked monster-fighter. His father electrocuted himself and his grandfather suffers from dementia and sometimes transforms into Big Man Japan and destroys parts of Tokyo. The CGI spends a lot of time in the uncanny valley. Big Man Japan is supposed to be a comedy, I think, but maybe the language barrier took away what was supposed to be funny. Ultraman and the Power Rangers never had it so rough.

The Flying Donkeys had the best early opportunities, but lost their way after Fabio Pisacane nodded in from a short corner.
Joao Pedro and Artur Ionita rounded out the scoreline, with Fabio Depaoli sent off for a second bookable offence.
"I am quite angry, because we can't afford to just give the opponents an extra man or more scoring opportunities," the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
"We are putting in some good performances, but don't score goals and then concede at the first chance for the other team. It makes me angry.
"The attitude of the team has to be different. We tried to react, but every challenge then became a yellow card. We need to do more.
"There were high expectations today and we had to win this game, but if two or three players don't deliver, then the whole team is dragged down.

Brit Milah for Our Son
by Ilana and Scott Ruskay-Kidd
The baby is brought into the community by his aunt and uncle.
בָּרוּךְ הַבָּא
Baruch ha-ba.
Blessed are you who bear the divine presence.
Holding the baby, the mother says:
My son, my child, you have been as dear to me as my own breath. May I hold you gently now with the love to keep you close and the strength to let you grow.
Father takes the baby and says:
My son, my child, a piece of my life is you. You have grown to life apart from me, but now I hold you close to my heart and cradle you in my arms with my love.
The baby is given to his aunt.
The mother offers a prayer of gratitude for her good health.
Birkat Hagomel
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם הַגּוֹמֵל לְחַיָּבִים טוֹבוֹת שֶׁגְּמָלַנִי כֹּל טוֹב

Blessed are You Adonai Ruler of All, Who does good to the undeserving and Who has dealt kindly with me.

Mi sh'gamalekh kol tov hu yigmalekh kol tov selah.
May the One Who has shown you kindness deal kindly with you forever.
Mother and Father say:
We have been blessed with the gift of new life. We have shared love and pain and joy in bringing our son into life.
By the way we live, we aspire to teach our son to become a caring and loving person. We hope that in seeking to fulfill himself, he will accept his responsibilities to others and to his heritage. We dedicate ourselves to the creation of a Jewish home and to a life of compassion for others, hoping he will learn from our example.
God of our grandfathers, God of our grandmothers, we pray for covenant love, for life, for good. Keep us strong together.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי מְקוֹר הַחַיִּים מְשַׂמֵּחַ הוֹרִים עִם הַיְּלָדִים

We are ready to fulfill the mitzvahLit. Commandment. It is traditionally held that there are 613 mitzvot (plural) in Judaism, both postive commandments (mandating actions) and negative commandments (prohibiting actions). Mitzvah has also become colloquially assumed to mean the idea of a "good deed." of circumcision, as it is written in the TorahThe Five Books of Moses, and the foundation of all of Jewish life and lore. The Torah is considered the heart and soul of the Jewish people, and study of the Torah is a high mitzvah. The Torah itself a scroll that is hand lettered on parchment, elaborately dressed and decorated, and stored in a decorative ark. It is chanted aloud on Mondays, Thursdays, and Shabbat, according to a yearly cycle. Sometimes "Torah" is used as a colloquial term for Jewish learning and narrative in general., "Throughout your generations every male among you shall be circumcised when is eight days old."

In Jewish folklore, ElijahElijah is a biblical prophet who is said never to have died. There are therefore many legends associated with Elijah. In the Talmud, unresolved arguments will be resolved when Elijah comes. He will herald the coming of the messiah.

Sarah, in Rabbinic tradition, is considered holy, beautiful, and hospitable. Many prayers, particularly the Amidah (the central silent prayer), refer to God as Magen Avraham – protector of Abraham. Many Jews now add: pokehd or ezrat Sarah – guardian or helper of Sarah., RebeccaThe second Jewish matriarch, Isaac's wife, and mother to Jacob and Esau. Rebecca is an active parent, talking to God when she is pregnant and learning the fate of her children, then ultimately manipulating Isaac and the children to ensure Jacob's ascendancy.

Rachel grieves throughout her life that she is barren while Leah is so fertile. Ultimately, Rachel gives birth to Joseph and dies in childbirth with Benjamin. Rachel is remembered as compassionate (she is said to still weep for her children), and infertile women often invoke Rachel as a kind of intercessor and visit her tomb on the road to Bethlehem., and LeahThe third of the Jewish matriarchs, Lead is the eldest of Lavan's daughters and one of the wives of Jacob.

Q: Deciding which assembly is more common positive edge detector I know of two circuits which can act as edge detector:

*

*A clock connected as a voltage source across a RC component where resistance is composed of a diode and a resistor and this in series with another

*A clock and its inverted output connected to AND gate.

Respective images are pulses generated for a given square wave.
Which one of them is more prevalent and versatile in logic design ? because in books only 2nd is used for synchronising outputs.
I think RC circuit helps us to adjust duration of the pulse so it is better.

A: The answer is none of the above, both of them, and it depends on the application.
The RC solution has a strong dependency on signal slew rate, loads its input, and might not be adequate for logic-level circuitry, while being perfectly fine to trigger a 555 and some mostly-analog applications.
The gate solution is rather common to generate a glitch in logic circuits, with pulse-width being tuned by either adding inverters in the chain, adding capacitance to the nodes, or tuning the characteristics of the inverters.
As anything in engineering, the RC solution is good enough in many cases. If you need to add some constraints to it (e.g., independence of input slew rate, independence of source impedance, guaranteed pulse voltage, reliable pulse width) you will soon find that it becomes too complicated to be practical, so variants of the gate solution become more practical.
You will exclusively find variants of the gate solution implemented inside logic ICs. I've used relatively long chains of purposefully slow inverters to provide carefully sequenced guaranteed-reliable asynchronous pulses to operate IC-wide logic after an input event with 100MHz interface clocks. Given that the width of the pulses scales with the speed of the logic inside the IC, this solution is guaranteed to work for all performance corners of the technology.

A: I don't think either of these circuits would be used in practice. I would use a flip-flop as a synchronous edge detector.
EDIT: Each of these circuits provides a pulse that is highly dependent on poorly controlled characteristics of the circuit. The tolerances of resistors and capacitors are fairly large, and the delay through an inverter varies significantly with supply voltage and temperature.
Neither circuit is readily synthesizable in an FPGA or ASIC. They are both hacks.

A: I don't want to sound like a racist, but your second example is a classic "race condition" that would cause an undergrad in a digital design course to get a 0% for the answer.  The propagation delay through the inverter will likely cause either setup or hold time of the AND/NAND gate to be violated, resulting in an unstable circuit.  Forget any design that looks like this.  Prop delay is temperature-dependent, and what works on your little breadboard circuit won't necessarily work when it is in its final configuration in a closed box in a warm room.
Why do you need a positive edge detector?  If we know the reason, it might simplify designing a circuit to fit your needs.

Taberna Macau: Pleased to Eat You
By Tiago Pais
André Magalhães is not your usual well-known, successful chef. For starters, he doesn't even look like a chef, as he never wears whites and a hat, but rather an apron and a beret. Also, he has seen more than most of his Portuguese peers, having traveled through Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean working in kitchens, after finishing high school in the United States in the early 1980s.
Instead of chef, many call him taberneiro – the owner of a taberna, a small, unpretentious spot to drink wine. That's because of his most successful venture in Lisbon: Taberna da Rua das Flores, a small restaurant he opened in 2012 where he serves a mix of original and traditional recipes, either faithfully recreated or creatively remixed in small portions, using seasonal ingredients from local producers. Since the restaurant doesn't take reservations, getting a table there is no easy task, especially during the high season, but it is always worth the wait.
Outside of kitchen, André is a gastronomic bookman who likes to travel, study and understand why we eat what we eat. "Part of what I like to do the most is to find the footprints of Portuguese food all around the world," he says. That's why the idea of doing something with Macanese food had been on his mind for a while. "Macau's cuisine was probably the first example of a true fusion cuisine in the world," André recalls, turning the conversation into an impromptu history lesson. "When the Portuguese settled in Macau, during the 16th century, they not only brought people from other colonies but also married into local families."
In those days, Macau was the epicenter of all Portuguese-related activities in Asia, with people and products from all over the continent coming and going. Since both locals and newcomers had to eat, it is easy to picture new recipes being brought to life every day.
Over 450 years later, those recipes are mainly still a mystery for most Portuguese people. Even though Macau was Portugal's last colony, having been reverted to China in 1999, Macanese eateries have been practically nonexistent in Lisbon, an obvious contrast to what happened with the other former outlying territories, from Brazil to Goa: all, except for East Timor, are very well represented in the city's restaurant sector. Casa de Macau, a cultural association dedicated to celebrating that long-lasting relationship, used to host a weekly lunch of Macanese food on Wednesdays. But they stopped doing it sometime last year and have no current plans to resume activity.
Even though Macau was Portugal's last colony, Macanese eateries have been practically nonexistent in Lisbon.
Enter Taberna Macau. That's the name André gave to the food stall he opened last December at Mercado Oriental, a food court located on the top of a Chinese supermarket in Martim Moniz, Lisbon's most multiethnic neighborhood. "Being a long-time client of the supermarket I already knew Joana, the manager. When she told me she wanted to open a food court I told her that we should, instead, create an hawker center, like the ones in Singapore, and have different stalls serving different foods from different Asian countries," he explains. And that's what happened.
André runs three of those stalls: Taberna Macau, Bao Bar (he went to Taiwan to learn the recipes of Lan Jia, probably the greatest gua bao – traditional steamed buns usually stuffed with pork belly – restaurant in Taipei) and Kamakura, a Japanese sandwich shop. "Katsu sando [a Japanese breaded and deep-fried pork cutlet sandwich] is already a food trend around the world," the chef says, explaining the inspiration behind Kamakura. "And it also has something to do with the Portuguese heritage, since Portuguese missionaries in the 1600s were the ones that introduced fried food in Japan."
But we're more interested in Taberna Macau. The recipes André chose to put on the short menu are the staples of that fusion cuisine born sometime during the 16th century. Sopa de lacassá (€7), for instance, is a spicy rice-noodle and prawn soup, which, according to André, is "Macau's most famous soup, their own caldo verde." Bao zai fan (€8) is a clay pot sausage rice that resembles those rice dishes that are popular in northern Portugal and usually served with cabrito assado, or roasted baby goat.
Maybe the perfect example of the aforementioned fusion is chatchini de bacalhau (€9), which involves the good old Portuguese favorite codfish, but with an obvious Asian twist – the use of turmeric and coconut milk. And there is even a Macanese version of cabidela (€9) in which the rice – usually cooked in chicken's blood, with water and vinegar – is replaced by potatoes and the chicken by duck. The blood-infused sauce also tastes different: much sweeter and softer than the Portuguese cabidela. "That happens because this Macanese version uses cinnamon and star anise," the chef reveals.
All in all, it looks like we have been missing a lot of the good stuff for way too long: it's nice to finally eat you, Macau.

Angola in Lisbon: Go Deep
By Francesca Savoldi and Syma Tariq
Lisbon -- A three-floor cultural association in Rato, the neighborhood just north of sleek Principe Real, Casa de Angola has for decades focused primarily on bridging Angolan and Portuguese cultures. Created in 1971 by Angolan students, it launched without state support and is still subject to some intrigue. "Some say that this was an Angolan masonry…
Bel'Empada: The Life of Pie
By Célia Pedroso
Lisbon -- These days, a good Portuguese-style savory pie is hard to find – even in Portugal. In a country with so many great examples, namely in Alentejo, Beiras or Trás-os-Montes, where pies (or empadas in Portuguese) are beautifully made, it's disheartening that in Lisbon you'll find mostly dull and dry versions or disappointing fillings…
