The enduring friendship between country superstars Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn is one of Nashville's most beloved stories. That story will be made into a Lifetime Original Movie, "Patsy & Loretta," starring Megan Hilty from "Smash" and Tony Award-winning actress Jessie Mueller.
In the early 1960s, Loretta Lynn moved to Music City to try to break into the booming country music business. At that time, country music was a male-dominated scene, and Lynn was just a small-town girl from Butcher Hollow, Kentucky.
However, she got support from a very surprising source: Patsy Cline, a county music legend and household name, with hits like "Walkin' After Midnight" and "I Fall to Pieces." Upon meeting the fresh-faced talent, Cline took Lynn under her wing, rather than viewing her as a potential threat.

The two had a mutually supportive and rewarding friendship. The close-knit pair bonded over husband troubles and the difficulty of life as a female musician in the sexist country music scene. Sadly, Cline tragically died in a plane crash in 1963 at the age of just 30 years old.
"She was my only girlfriend at the time," Lynn told to The Denver Post. "She took me under her wing, and when I lost her, it was something else. I still miss her to this day. I wrote 'You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man,' and she said, 'Loretta, that's a damn hit.' It shocked me, because you don't expect somebody like Patsy Cline to tell you that you have a hit."
The story of their friendship and Cline's shocking death on the Piper PA-24 Comanche plane (which crashed due to inclement weather and had pilots who had not undergone proper training for the plane they were flying) will come to life in this new feature-length television movie.
Hilty shared her excitement about starring in the new project on Instagram. The actress posted a photo of her at the Patsy Cline Museum. "I have fallen deeply in love with this incredible powerhouse of a woman and I can't believe I get to walk in her shoes (or bedazzled cowboy boots) for the next month!" she wrote alongside the image.
We start filming tomorrow, so it only seemed right to spend some time at the Patsy Cline Museum today! If you do not know about the remarkable Patsy Cline, do yourself a favor and read Patsy – the Life and Times of Patsy Cline, or just sit and listen to her incredible catalog of music, OR…. if you're in Nashville, swing by the Patsy Cline Museum and check out her personal items, costumes and other memorabilia. If you scroll through my pics you can see a few – my favorite is the set list with the keys of each song! Or possibly her boots with "Patsy" bedazzled on the side! I have fallen deeply in love with this incredible powerhouse of a woman and I can't believe I get to walk in her shoes (or bedazzled cowboy boots) for the next month! #patsycline #girlsinger #patsyclinemuseum #nashville #thingstodoinnashville #countrylegend #lifetime #lifetimetv #lifetimetvmovie

This isn't the first time we've seen Cline and Lynn's friendship retold in a movie, though. Sissy Spacek won an Oscar for her portrayal of Lynn in the critically acclaimed 1981 film "Coal Miner's Daughter."
The Lifetime Original Movie "Patsy & Loretta" will film on location in Nashville and premieres sometime in late 2019.

U.S. Rep. Phillips Joins Labor, Environmental, and Faith Leaders, and Suburban Elected Officials to Call for Investment in Bus Rapid Transit to Build Back Better
As Congress debates efforts to boost economic recovery and build back better, U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) today joined labor, environmental, and faith leaders, and suburban elected officials at an event advocating for federal investments in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). At the event, Rep. Phillips and advocates urged investments in future BRT lines to expand transit and economic opportunity, as well as create good jobs in our local economy building the lines and across the country building the materials needed for the project and reduce the pollution driving the climate crisis.
The event was held in Bloomington at a stop for the Orange Line BRT line—a 17-mile connection between Minneapolis, Richfield, Bloomington, and Burnsville along I-35W—that is expected to open later this year.
"Investing in modernizing our infrastructure is an all too rare opportunity for bipartisanship and will bring more federal tax dollars back to our state, create jobs, and build more sustainable, resilient communities," said Phillips. "Transit investments build stronger futures for everyone, especially our children, families, workers, and small businesses. The Orange Line should be joined in the near future by other BRT lines that will serve to connect us all."
"For the climate and for equitable access to jobs and opportunity, we need to build more rapid transit faster—and we can," said State Rep. Patty Acomb (D-44B), Chair of the Minnesota House Climate Action Caucus. "When all these projects are built, we will have a network which connects many more people to opportunity and maximizes the benefits of our investment."
"As a transit rider I see how important it is to my everyday life and how a big investment in transit will help workers and retirees alike," said Kevin Morse, a retired member of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). "Congress needs to act now to build back better. Let's get it done and make sure it is done the right way—growing good jobs here and around the country, reducing the emissions driving climate change, and making sure that we all have access to transit."
"The Orange Line is the product of a bipartisan, urban/suburban coalition and will soon be the flagship of our fleet—a model for how we can build out a transit network, put people to work, provide affordable access to jobs and address the climate crisis," said Peter Wagenius, Legislative and Political Director for the Sierra Club North Star Chapter. "The Orange Line BRT will have far more riders than any other BRT line in Minnesota, setting a new standard for what is possible when you put transit in the fast lane. We want to thank Rep. Phillips and to our state and local leaders for joining us today and for standing up for workers and communities."
"Many in my congregation are concerned about climate change and want to build a healthy future for our families and the next generation of Minnesotans," said Pastor Siri Strommen from Atonement Lutheran Church in Bloomington. "Investments now in transit and BRT will help us tackle the climate crisis and ensure that everyone has access to transit solutions to get them where they want to go."
Over a dozen elected officials from the suburbs of Minneapolis and St. Paul attended the event in support.
"Building back better is America's path toward a clean, thriving, and equitable future. We need a recovery For America, By America, making the products we need to repair our nation's infrastructure and rebuild American manufacturing in the United States and more projects like the Orange Line will do both," said Bree Halverson, Midwest Field Director for the BlueGreen Alliance, a national partnership of labor unions and environmental organizations working to build a clean, thriving, and equitable economy.

Curiosity has landed on Mars
(credits: JPL - NASA - All rights reserved)
PASADENA, Calif. – Curiosity, NASA's most advanced Mars rover to date, has landed on the Red Planet. The one-ton rover, suspended by ropes from a rocket backpack, touched down on Mars on 5 August to end a 36-week flight and begin a 2-year investigation.
Curiosity landed on Sunday 5 August at 10:32 p.m. PDT (Monday 6 August at 1:32 a.m. EDT) inside Gale Crater, near the foot of a mountain three miles high and 96 miles in diameter. The rover was sent to investigate whether the region has ever offered conditions favorable for microbial life.
Two weeks after landing Curiosity fired its laser for the first time on Mars, using the beam from a science instrument to interrogate a fist-size rock named "Coronation". It also flexed its robotic arm for the first time since it was launched in November 2011.
The 7 foot (2.1 meter) arm maneuvers a turret of tools including a camera, drill, spectrometer, scoop and mechanisms for sieving and portioning samples of powdered rock and soil.
Weeks of testing and calibrating its movements lie ahead before the arm delivers a first sample of Martian soil to instruments inside the rover. The maneuver checked motors and joints by unstowing the arm for the first time, extending it forward using all five joints, then stowing it again in preparation for the rover's first drive.
Curiosity's adventure is about to begin.
Curiosity to Mars
Just a few days more and the rover named Curiosity will arrive to Mars, after eight and a half months of traveling.
The tension is growing at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, birthplace of the idea of the most complex robot ever conceived in the history of planetary exploration.
In the JPL control room, NASA technicians have tested and retested the various phases of the complicated and dangerous descent to the surface of Mars: the final plunge of the Mars Science Laboratory into the Martian atmosphere has been defined as seven minutes of terror.
The touch-down on the surface of the red planet is expected to take place on Monday, 5 August at 10:31 pm Pacific Daylight Time. In Italy it will be 7:31 am the following morning, but it will take at least 14 minutes to know if the mission has been successful.
Curiosity will go in search of traces of organic molecules, and attempt to discover if Mars is an environment which is capable making the survival of life forms possible. The Gale Crater was chosen as the landing site. One hundred fifty kilometers in diameter, it has a mountain in its centre, Mount Sharp, rising to a height of about 5 thousand meters.
Loaded on board Curiosity is a digital copy of Leonardo da Vinci's Codex on Flight and his Self-Portrait, thanks to an idea of the RAI scientific news program TGR Leonardo, launched during the course of a special program featuring JPL Director Charles Elachi.

Question: ballgown error: Rows of pData did not seem to be in the same order as the columns of the expression data.
I'm using ballgown to analyze the data and got an error.
Error in ballgown(dataDir = "ballgown", samplePattern = "Sample", pData = pheno_data) : first column of pData does not match the names of the folders containing the ballgown data.
It seems that the order in phone_data should be exactly the same in the folder of ballgown.
Looks fine. Can you confirm that the data directory name and location is accurate? You can try samplePattern="" without pData = pheno_data.
I guess your pheno_data's order maybe not match the sample file order. You can reorder your pheno_data_file's Samples as list. files("ballgown")) to solve this problem.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women's perceptions and concerns about COVID-19 vaccines
By Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc.Nov 1 2021
Although severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination is one of the most important ways of fighting the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the recommendations for vaccination for pregnant and breastfeeding women are not consistent.
Researchers from Germany recently conducted an anonymous, cross-sectional online survey among pregnant and breastfeeding German women between 30 March and 19 April 2021. The study's objective was to explore the attitude of pregnant and breastfeeding women in Germany towards COVID-19 vaccination. The survey addressed COVID-19 vaccination attitudes and the underlying reasons for these attitudes. The survey also evaluated the anxiety related to a symptomatic course of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The research paper is published in the journal Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics.

Participants for the survey, which was administered through soscisurvey.de, were recruited via gynecologists, midwives, and social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
At the time of recruitment of participants, only about 10% of the German population were vaccinated, and only older adults aged 70 or above, people belonging to specific risk groups such as hospital and medical staff, and people with comorbidities were eligible for COVID-19 vaccination.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women in Germany were not officially eligible for COVID-19 vaccination at the time of participant recruitment.
Results show that breastfeeding women were more willing to receive vaccines than pregnant women
A total of 2,339 women completed the survey; 1,043 of them were pregnant and 1,296 were breastfeeding at the time of the survey. Over 57% of the pregnant women did not have a favorable attitude towards receiving the vaccine, 28.8% were unsure, and only 13.8% responded positively to getting vaccinated at the time the survey was conducted. However, over 47% of the women mentioned that they would be in favor of receiving the vaccine if they were provided with more scientific evidence on vaccine safety in pregnant women.
Breastfeeding women were more willing to get vaccinated compared to pregnant women with 39.5% of breastfeeding women in favor of getting vaccinated, 32.5% not in favor, and 28.1% being unsure.
As per the survey, the willingness to get vaccinated was significantly related to the anxiety levels of the women about getting infected and developing COVID-19 symptoms.
Key reasons for vaccine hesitancy were the perception that vaccination-specific information and scientific evidence on vaccine safety are insufficient and the fear that vaccines may harm the fetus or infant.
Willingness of the pregnant group to receive the COVID-19 vaccination. At the time of recruitment, the minority (13.8%) would decide to receive the COVID-19 vaccination. However, when asked whether they would be vaccinated if a scientific study would provide evidence for the safety of the vaccination 47.2% of the pregnant sample would decide to receive the vaccination.
Findings highlight the importance of studies on vaccine safety and efficacy in pregnant women

Study examines factors associated with breastfeeding disparities among Black women
The results show that nearly 60% of pregnant women are not in favor of getting vaccinated at the time of the survey, which agrees with the results of a similar study conducted among pregnant women in Italy in January 2021.
More importantly, the survey responses show that many of the vaccine-hesitant pregnant women would be willing to get vaccinated if more evidence is provided about the safety of vaccines in pregnant women. This highlights the importance of scientific studies on vaccine safety and efficacy in pregnant women.
The willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccinations significantly depends on the group. Less women in the pregnant group would decide to receive the vaccination that women in the breastfeeding group.
Although the acceptance rate for COVID-19 vaccination among breastfeeding women was higher than that among pregnant women, a large number of breastfeeding women were also not sure or not in favor of receiving the vaccine.
The major reasons for vaccine hesitancy in both groups were perceived lack of sufficient information about the vaccines and limited scientific evidence about vaccine safety in their groups. Women in both groups were also anxious about the vaccine causing harm to their offspring.
According to the authors, healthcare professionals should inform pregnant and breastfeeding women about the benefits and risks of vaccines to protect them from the complications of a SARS-CoV-2 infection.
"Studies have revealed increased anxiety and levels of pregnant women during the pandemic highlighting the psychological impact of the pandemic on this sensible group."
Moreover, in the breastfeeding group, the data show that the greater the anxiety regarding severe COVID-19, the higher the vaccine acceptance. Also, breastfeeding women at high risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 had higher vaccine acceptance.
In the pregnant group, interestingly, vaccine acceptance was not associated with severe COVID-19 risk factors. In conclusion, the survey findings could have important implications for obstetrical care during the COVID-19 pandemic and official recommendations and information strategies about the COVID-19 vaccination.
"The here presented results emphasize the need of scientific studies which show the safety of the COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant and breastfeeding women to increase the acceptance of and trust in the vaccination."

This State Where COVID Was Plummeting Is Now Seeing Numbers Spike
While some believed the state had contained coronavirus, new cases are on the rise.
By Richard Evans
There isn't much good news when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic. With COVID cases surging throughout the country—and a few hard-hit states emerging as new epicenters of the crisis—there's a strong desire to find a success story. But with numbers on the rise almost everywhere, even the states that appear to be on track to contain COVID can face setbacks. In recent days, Rhode Island has been hailed as a model to follow, a state that managed to reverse course and get its outbreak under control. That celebration, however, may have come too soon, as the smallest U.S. state saw new coronavirus cases double last week.
According to the latest data from Reuters, Rhode Island's 321 cases for the week ending in July 12 represent a 106 percent rise in new cases, meaning the number of new COVID infections more than doubled from the week before. The only state that saw a larger increase was Kentucky, where new cases went up 163 percent.

The significant jump in Rhode Island's cases is especially surprising given that recent coverage of the state has been so focused on how effectively it has managed the COVID crisis. On July 13, a Bloomberg opinion writer said that Gov. Gina Raimondo "has wrestled COVID-19 to the ground in her state and demonstrated ideas and resolve that could help guide the rest of the country in moving forward." And a July 8 Politico article also described Rhode Island as having nearly returned to normalcy, claiming "coronavirus deaths, hospitalizations, and infections have been plummeting since April."
The reality is a bit more complicated than that, as it now seems that Rhode Island is seeing a coronavirus spike like many states across the nation. As the Providence Journal noted on July 13, "The seven-day average of new cases now stands at 55, its highest point since June 19. The number of new cases reported on Saturday, 78, was highest in a single day since June 12." There are currently just under 17,500 COVID cases in Rhode Island, and there have been nearly 985 deaths.
That's not to say that Raimondo's efforts at containment have not been effective: Rhode Island is in a much better place now than it once was. While Rhode Island has not gotten nearly as much attention as its surrounding states, it has the fifth-highest infection rate in the country (1,651 cases per 100,000 people), as well as the fifth-highest death rate (93 COVID deaths per 100,000 people). The state's thorough contact tracing and low positive test rate reflect a marked improvement.
Still, the disparity between the narrative and the numbers offers a stark reminder that the coronavirus situation in the country is constantly evolving. With cases, hospitalizations, and deaths increasing nationwide, it may be premature for any state to be taking a victory lap.

The octogenarian former US secretary of state, who presided over the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia, and infamously insisted that the US sanctions against Iraq which led to the deaths of half a million Iraqi children were "worth it," has come back into the limelight with a new warning to the world.
In an op-ed for the New York Times, Albright warned that today, "fascism – and the tendencies that lead to fascism – pose a more serious threat now than at any time since the end of World War II."
According to Albright, the Trump presidency's volatility and retreat from global leadership have given fascism "a fresh chance to strut around the world stage," with countries including Hungary, Poland, Turkey, and even Germany facing the growth of "nativist movements," while Russian, Chinese, Venezuelan, Iranian, and Syrian "despotism" threaten freedom.
"If freedom is to prevail over the many challenges to it, American leadership is urgently required. This was among the indelible lessons of the 20th century," Albright stressed. Unfortunately, she lamented, President Trump has instead "steadily diminished America's positive clout in global counsels."
The op-ed has sparked an intense online debate, with Trump opponents praising the former secretary of state, while those with longer memories thought back on some of Albright's less spectacular moments. Sputnik recalls a few.
In 1996, Albright was famously asked by CBS journalist Lesley Stahl whether the price of the estimated 500,000 children who died as a result of US-backed UN sanctions against Iraq were worth it. Albright's reply was: "I think this is a very hard choice. But we think the price is worth it." Facing a public backlash following the interview, the diplomat calling the segment "Iraqi propaganda," and accused Stahl of asking her a loaded question.
In 1998, asked about a possible US military intervention in Iraq, Albright famously remarked that while Washington would try to stay on the diplomatic track, "if we have to use force, it is because we are America; we are the indispensable nation. We stand tall and we see further than other countries into the future, and we see the danger here to all of us." Albright's famous term was later picked up and used by other US officials, including President Obama.
One of the Clinton administration's most ardent proponents of the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, Secretary of State Albright made a televised appeal directly to the Yugoslav people, insisting that the "international peace forces led by NATO would protect both Serbian and Albanian civilians," and promising that "Kosovo would remain as an integral part of Serbia."
The 78-day NATO bombing campaign led to upwards of 5,700 civilian deaths, and contaminated large areas of Kosovo, central Serbia and Montenegro with radiation from NATO's depleted uranium munitions. Nine years later, Kosovo declared independence from Serbia, with Serbs living in the region and even Serbian officials regularly subjected to discrimination and attacks.
In 2012, during a book signing at a Prague bookstore, Czech activists confronted the former secretary of state over the Kosovo War, to which an agitated Albright shouted "Disgusting Serbs, get out!"
Finally, in 2016, Albright made headlines at a campaign event in support of Hillary Clinton against Democratic primary opponent Bernie Sanders, saying "There's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other!"
In addition to her insensitive, untruthful or just plain hateful commentary, Albright is also known for promoting or supporting some of the Clinton and Bush administrations' most controversial decisions, from blocking more decisive UN action during the 1994 Rwanda genocide, to funneling billions to right-wing paramilitary organizations in Colombia, to supporting President George W. Bush over his decision to invade Iraq in 2003.


A Countryfile presenter who called foxes 'vermin' while filming on a farm in Lincolnshire has sparked a furious reaction.
The show aired on Sunday and featured Spilsby and other areas of Lincolnshire.
During the show, BBC presenter Tom Heap fronted a section on gun laws in the UK countryside that sparked hundreds of emotive tweets and comments on social media - with many declaring the broadcaster 'pro-hunting'.
The programme, which aired at 7pm on BBC One on Sunday, January 7, examined the issue of rural doctors providing authorisation for gun owners to renew licences.
The row was inflamed after foxes in the piece were described as 'vermin' by presenter Tom Heap as he visited farmers in Lincolnshire.
People also took to Twitter to express their views.
Katie Liddle said: "BBC consider this a complaint. Foxes are animals like any other, will you be showing the badger cull on countryfile next? You are funded by all of us licence payers. Stop being so biased in your reporting!"
Neil Fearnley said: "Yet another COUNTRYFILE propaganda programme from the BBC. Foxes are NOT vermin. Those so called presenters ,many who claim to love wildlife , should now be classified as paid lackeys of the establishment. The programme is now just a joke."
Therag King said: "foxes are vermin? who was here first?"
Jane Kennedy said: "Foxes are self-limiting, like all predators. They hold & defend a territory & if one is killed another one moves in within days. There is absolutely no justification for killing them to 'control' numbers & they are certainly NOT vermin! This is their countryside too!"
Janet Payne said: "Somebody needs to tell that animal abuse apologist Tom Heap on BBC Countryfile programme that foxes are not officially classified as 'vermin' & his deliberately misleading statement to that effect rather more reflects the company he keeps."
Laura Culbert said: "Seriously foxes vermin! Open your eyes and see what mankind is doing to this beautiful planet! Infuriated!!"
Aidan Trail said: "How dare you call foxes vermin. Absolutely disgusting."
Not everyone was upset, though.
Gaz Chambers was one with little sympathy for those criticising Mr Heap.
"Tell the people who have had foxes enter their home and attack a child or the farmer that loses livestock that they aren't a problem," he said.

Szlachetne techniki fotograficzne – techniki graficzne oparte na wykorzystaniu światłoczułości i garbujących właściwości chromianów, a także innych związków światłoczułych, ale też tradycyjnej fotografii jako materiału wyjściowego.

Od technik stricte graficznych odróżnia je niepowtarzalność procesu technologicznego, prowadzącego z reguły do otrzymania pojedynczej, wyjątkowej odbitki/obrazu. Od standardowych technik fotograficznych (analogowych) odróżnia je zarówno niepowtarzalność, jak i wykorzystanie materiałów innych niż światłoczułe sole srebra.

Guma
Opiera się na zmniejszeniu rozpuszczalności gumy arabskiej (uczulonej dwuchromianem amonu lub potasu) pod wpływem światła. Arkusz papieru (przeklejonego – najczęściej żelatyną, odpornego na wodę, często z wyraźną, ziarnistą fakturą) pokrywa się zawiesiną kryjącego pigmentu w roztworze gumy arabskiej z dodatkiem dwuchromianu amonu lub potasu i ew. amoniaku. Istnieją jednak odmiany, gdzie nie stosuje się żelatyny jako warstwy nośnej (guma warszawska, guma paryska). Po wysuszeniu (w ciemności lub pomarańczowym świetle) papier naświetla się stykowo przez diapozytyw lub negatyw (w zależności od koloru pigmentu i papieru). Następnie kładzie się go na powierzchni zimnej wody warstwą obrazową do dołu; po kilku minutach nienaświetlona guma arabska spływa wraz z pigmentem, odsłaniając papier. Po wysuszeniu można nakładać następne warstwy gumy z innym pigmentem i ponowne naświetlać przez inny negatyw (konieczne jest oczywiście dokładne pasowanie obrazu); w ten sposób można uzyskać obrazy wielokolorowe.

Obraz stworzony tą techniką jest syntetyczny, płaski, pozbawiony szczegółów i większości półtonów, ale mimo to delikatny i miękki. Najczęściej tworzono w ten sposób portrety, martwe natury etc. Sceny z dużą ilością detali i wyraźnie zaznaczonymi planami (np. krajobrazy) wymagają sporego doświadczenia i bardzo dużego formatu obrazu. Szczyt popularności "guma" osiągnęła w Polsce w czasach przedwojennych, właściwie wszyscy wielcy polscy fotograficy mieli w życiorysie artystycznym "gumowy" epizod. Niestety, większość prac wykonanych tą techniką nie dotrwała do naszych czasów.

Pigment
Wykorzystuje analogiczną do opisanej wyżej światłoczułość żelatyny uczulonej chromianem potasu lub amonu. Naniesioną na gładki papier warstwę żelatyny z barwnym pigmentem naświetla się stykowo, a następnie wywołuje w ciepłej wodzie. Jednak – ponieważ warstwa żelatyny jest znacznie grubsza niż gumy – światło nie dociera do spodniej części żelatyny przylegającej do papieru wskutek czego naświetlona błona żelatynowa w trakcie wywoływania oddziela się od papieru. Należy ją zatem na mokro przenieść na inne podłoże (niekoniecznie papierowe). Jeden obraz może być złożony z kilku takich warstw. Efektem mogą być zarówno wyjątkowo realistyczne pełnokolorowe "odbitki" fotograficzne, jak i surrealistyczne lub przypominające popart kompozycje barwne. Dalekim potomkiem tej techniki jest pierwotna technologia tworzenia analogowych cromalinów.

Bromolej

Opiera się na zjawisku "garbowania" (utraty rozpuszczalności i zdolności pęcznienia pod wpływem wody) żelatyny uczulonej chromianem potasu w obecności naświetlonych i wywołanych soli srebra tworzących obraz w klasycznej, czarno-białej technice fotograficznej. Zgarbowana żelatyna zachowuje się podobnie jak naświetlona płyta offsetowa: przyjmuje tłustą, olejną farbę a odpycha wodę. Ponieważ tradycyjne materiały (papiery) fotograficzne składały się ze słabo zgarbowanej (tyle, by nie spływała z papieru podczas obróbki chemicznej) żelatyny, zawierającej sole srebra, nałożonej na papier, wystarczało w kąpieli zawierającej chromiany i wspomagające proces sole miedzi etc. zgarbować je proporcjonalnie do naświetlenia. Tak spreparowane odbitki należało pokryć cienką warstwą tłustej farby i usunąć jej nadmiar w ciepłej wodzie, aby otrzymać "olejny", monochromatyczny obraz o ciekawych przejściach światłocieniowych i charakterystycznie rozciągniętej krzywej kontrastu. Możliwe było – jak w tradycyjnej litografii – kilkakrotne odbicie obrazu na innych podłożach ("przetłok"), ale wyjściowa matryca bardzo szybko ulegała zniszczeniu. Obecnie produkowane papiery fotograficzne trudno wykorzystać w technice bromoleju.

Indian Fine Arts: Trysts and transactions with other art forms by Vijayakumar Menon
Post author By Niveditha
No Comments on Indian Fine Arts: Trysts and transactions with other art forms by Vijayakumar Menon
Indian Fine Arts: Trysts and transactions with other art forms by Vijayakumar Menon. Article written by K.M. Narendran
At a time when the trivial and the superfluous are celebrated even in the academic circles the publication of a theoretical book with polemical potential is a welcome event. The happiness is doubled when the reader finds that the book is written in the sphere of fine arts because theoretical works are comparatively lesser in fine arts than in areas like literary criticism or philosophy. The book we are referring here is BHARATHEEYA LAVANYA VICHARAVUM KALPARASPARYAVUM (Thoughts on Indian Aesthetics and interdisciplinary Aspects of Arts) by Vijayakumar Menon, arguably the best critic and scholar in fine arts in Malayalam language. The book, written in Malayalam, is published by Kerala Sahithya Academy.
In a Telephonic interview given to OpenArt he revealed the names of the eminent writers who persuaded him to write the book. They were K.P.Narayana Pisharody and M.P.Sankunni Nair, scholars in Sanskrit and Malayalam, and M.T.Vasudevan Nair, novelist and Gyanpeeth awardee from Kerala. In the interview he went on to describe the polemical aspect of the book, which emanated from the juxtaposition of fine art with other forms of art like literature, drama, dance etc. and placing it in the perspective of the ancient Indian theoretical perspective. The juxtaposition itself is an invitation for Menon to enter into a debate, for there is a prevailing notion that fine arts, unlike literature and drama, are not compatible with the Indian aesthetic theories. The logic that holds the notion can be explained by understanding the nature of a key term SANCHAREEBHAVA. In Indian aesthetics the emotions transmitted from a work of art are called BHAVAS. BHAVA is divided into two categories namely STHAYEEBHAVA and SANCHAREEBHAVAS. STHAYEEBHAVA is the permanent and pervading emotional make up of a character, while SANCHAREEBHAVAS are the transient and the multiple emotions that bombard the character continuously. The resultant of the dynamics between the permanent and the transient emotions make the emotional sketch of every character. Another difference between the STHAYEEBHAVA AND THE SANCHAREEBHAVAS is that while the former, being constant, is unrelated to time, the latter lives and dies in time. Here they come to the crux of their argument: Painting and sculpture, having no time factor in their making, don't allow the SANCHAREEBHAVAS to make their entries into their body. As the Indian aesthetic takes the position that it is the Interplay of the constant and the transient emotions that brings the salvation of every art form both painting and sculpture cannot attain such a sublime height as they don't allow the transient emotions (SANCHAREEBHAVAS) to have any role in their transmission. Vijayakumar Menon gives an excellent counter argument to defeat this notion. He says such a wrong notion is largely a creation of literary critics, who saw painting and sculpture not as fine art but as literary pieces. They were blind to the signs encoded into the body of the painting, which signified interplay of emotions in a subtle and oblique manner. Such coded signs can be seen in the background of old Indian paintings where one may find trees and foliage. The way the foliage is depicted gives a clue to the emotions which the artist wants to convey. For instance, if the trees in the background have their tips drooping down the signification is that of melancholic emotions in the minds of the characters which are drawn prominently in the foreground. Similarly, the moonlight, colour schemeused , the types of birds and creatures drawn in the painting also have emotional signification. In other words, Menon emphasizes that one needs to understand the semiotics of painting in order to get a feel of the permanent and transient emotions encoded into the body of paintings and sculptures. The literary critics who were ignorant of this coded language failed to read the emotionsinterwoven into the text of such works of art.
In the telephonic interview, Vijayakumar Menon went on to point out the religious symbols used extensively in frescos and murals found in some temples of south India. Here also appreciation of art demands a basic knowledge of the semiotic conventions which the art shared with the society in which it originated.
The importance of this work is not limited to placing fine art in the perspective of Indian aesthetic traditions. The book's real success is in making a historical and theoretical assessment of the transaction of ideas among all manifestations of creativity including fine art. The book is written with logical rigor, and in a lucid language that bears the signature of the author.

'Support governments projects' - Chief urges subjects
The Kontehene of Abetienso, a farming community in the Kwahu West Municipality of the Eastern Region, Nana Appiah Wiafe has called on members of the community not to belittle their development thinking.
According to the chief, it's highly imperative to disabuse the wide conception that government is the only architect of development, adding that rather, community initiative and readiness to drive their respective community development must be the way forward.
From this background, he charged his subjects to put their development shoulders to the wheel in order to change the development narrative of the community.
He made the remarks during a sod-cutting ceremony to commence the construction of a multi-purpose community durbar ground for the community.
The facility when completed will marry all the nearby communities when it comes to social activities.
He disclosed that the facility which would cost around GH¢100,000 and would serve a population of over six thousand including ten neighbouring communities and enhance the socio-economic atmosphere of the people since there is no such place for social activities.
Nana Appiah Wiafe passionately appealed to the government to consider the construction of a Technical School for Abetienso to aid the technical know-how of the youth in the area.
He hinted that, but for the timely introduction of the Free Senior High School, many of the youth in the area would have fallen prey to the mercies of social vices since they could not further their education after the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
On his part, the Assembly Member for the Nkawanda Jejeti Electoral Area, Sampson Osafo expressed his gratefulness for the construction of a social center in their community.
According to him, a durbar ground was one of the major needs the people of the electoral area which Abetienso forms part of, demanded when he was seeking the Assembly Member position.
He indicated that the citizens of the area were not relishing when it comes to social gathering because they have to hire a canopy before an event can take place other than that there is no option for them than to stand in the scorching sun or rain even though they have a land to construct such a project.
To him, the durbar ground will be a special project to them since it will serve many purposes such as weddings, funerals, and many other cultural activities.
"This project will be of great value to the people of Nkawnada and will generate a lot of income to the community because the money we would have used to rent canopies and other things will be kept for other projects," he said.

Q: Calling a name variable in a message.py First off I am extremely new in self-taught Python. I picked up a crash course book, and I am trying to get type of code to work. The error I get is "TypeError: 'str' object is not callable".
I've tried to add ' ' around name, calling it as str(name()), and a couple off the wall things. If someone could explain what the error actually means, and how I'm suppose to use it? I would really appreciate it,
#I can't get this program to work for me

name = "Billy"
message = "Hello, " + name() + "!"
print(message)

A:
name = "Billy"

is a string object, not a function.
A function is something like the following
def sayHello(name):
    print("Hello "+name+" !")

A function is where () is valid. To call the function above, my code would be
name = "Tom"
sayHello(name)

That gives us the following output

"Hello Tom !"

To print "Hello Billy !", your code should be print("Hello " + name + " !") instead.
You cannot do str(name()). It is only valid if you define a function called name that returns a value, which you want to cast it into a string.
This is because name() calls a function called name. Its return value will then be the parameter given to str(value_returned_by_function_name) to be converted into a string object.
In your case, name is a string object. So str(name()) is invalid.

Miley Cyrus risks a nip slip on 'Saturday Night Live'
By Jessica Sager | Fox News
Miley Cyrus' risqué 'Saturday Night Live' outfit
Miley Cyrus risked a nip slip on "Saturday Night Live" while she performed her new hit single "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" with Mark Ronson.
Miley Cyrus left little to the imagination during her performance of "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" on "Saturday Night Live" with Mark Ronson this week.
The former "Hannah Montana" star was topless, save for a silver jacket that she wore open — and that miraculously stayed in place, accompanied by matching pants and boots.
Possibly due to her risqué (and risky) ensemble, Cyrus, 26, avoided twerking and remained mostly stationary during the show, save for some careful strutting towards Ronson, who was undistracted by the singer's seemingly routine partial nudity.
Despite Cyrus previously being totally naked in her "Wrecking Ball" music video and showing a ton more skin when she hosted the MTV Video Music Awards in 2015, Twitter still went into a tizzy remarking on her seemingly physics-defying outfit.
PHOTOS: MILEY CYRUS' WILD BASH
Sean Ono Lennon joined Cyrus and Ronson for the evening's second performance, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)."
She was significantly more covered up for that tune, but chances are she still relied on some double-stick tape.

Symbols and Customs: Blood, Februa, Goat, Milk, Wolf
Colors: Red and white, in the form of BLOOD and MILK , both played a part in the earliest observance of the Lupercalia. Nowadays these are the colors associated with Valentine's Day, to which this ancient festival has been linked.
Related Holidays: Valentine's Day
The Lupercalia was a festival in the ancient Roman religion, which scholars trace back to the sixth century B . C . E . Roman religion dominated Rome and influenced territories in its empire until Emperor Constantine's conversion to Christianity in the third century C . E . Ancient Roman religion was heavily influenced by the older Greek religion. Roman festivals therefore had much in common with those of the ancient Greeks. Not only were their gods and goddesses mostly the same as those in the Greek pantheon (though the Romans renamed them), but their religious festivals were observed with similar activities: ritual sacrifice, theatrical performances, games, and feasts.
The Lupercalia festival was held in honor of the WOLF who mothered Romulus and Remus, the legendary twin founders of Rome. During the original Roman celebration, members from two colleges of priests gathered at a cave on the Palatine Hill called the Lupercal-supposedly the cave where Romulus and Remus had been suckled by a she-wolf-and sacrificed a GOAT and a dog. The animals' BLOOD was smeared on the foreheads of two young priests and then wiped away with wool dipped in MILK . The two young men stripped down to a goatskin loincloth and ran around the Palatine, striking everyone who approached them, especially the women, with thongs of goat skin called FEBRUA . It is believed that this was both a fertility ritual and a purification rite. It may also have been a very early example of "beating the bound, or reestablishing the borders of the early Palatine settlement.
There is some confusion over which god the Luperci or priests served; some say it was Faunus, a rural deity, and some say it was Pan, the god of shepherds who protected sheep from the danger of wolves. All that is certain is that by Caesar's time, the annual ceremony had become a spectacular public sight, with young men running half-naked through the streets and provoking much good-natured hysteria among the women. February 15 was also the day when Mark Antony offered Julius Caesar the crown. Thanks to this historic event, and Shakespeare's account of it in his play Julius Caesar, the Lupercalia is one of the best known of all Roman festivals.
It is interesting that such a rustic festival continued to be celebrated in Rome for centuries after it had been Christianized. Its survival can be partially credited to Augustus, who rebuilt the Lupercal in the first century B . C . E ., thus giving the celebration a boost. It continued to be observed until 494 C . E ., when Pope Gelasius I changed the day to the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin Mary. There is some reason to believe that the Lupercalia was a forerunner of the modern VALENTINE'S DAY: Part of the ceremony involved putting girls' names in a box and letting boys draw them out, thus pairing them off until the next Lupercalia.

Freedom for Sisi and death to the masses
December 27, 2017 at 8:00 pm | Published in: Africa, Article, Egypt, Opinion
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi [Egyptian President Office/Apaimages]
Wael Qandil
waiel65
It is rare for a tyrannical government, which always exercises brutality and oppressive control over the people at all times, to inform the masses that the interior and defence ministers were targeted with a missile attack in Sinai.
The state media outlets overly covered the story, providing detailed statements by the military spokesman and broadcasting video footage showing the two ministers in a state of panic and dismay during their return in a helicopter after cheating death. There were also pictures of the ruling general presiding over the National Defence Council, focusing on the looks of the defence minister.
Such exaggerated coverage of an assassination attempt on the most powerful parties in a government that adopts intimidation as the only means to exercise control over the masses is unusual. Therefore, the following questions are raised: What's next after this intense drama? What is the government planning on investing such a serious scenario in?
On one hand, the choir is back to chanting about the needed leader and the need for the leader, otherwise the country and the people will be destroyed. This was expressed through frozen opinion polls, taken off the shelves of the freezers to be thawed and spiced for the masses. They announced that the overwhelming majority has forced the general to run for a new presidential term, against his will.
Read: Egypt sentences six to life for 'trying to overthrow Sisi'
Then began the process of booting up the Salafist robots, in the same manner of the clergymen before the French Revolution, to announce the illegality of the presidential elections and the prohibition of disputing the leader (who was appointed by God's command), competing against him, or forcing him to enter in a competition.
However, the biggest investment was powering up the execution machine, as yesterday, the government announced the execution of 15 citizens, all from Sinai, in one go. This indicates that the extensive coverage of the assassination attempt on the two ministers in Sinai was a dramatic necessity in order to reach this point within the murderous government which is leading Egypt.
One of the victims of yesterday's execution massacres, Ahmed Azmi Hassan Abdo, a dentist imprisoned since 2014, who, along with his brother, was dragged into the Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis case, did not get a fair trial, like thousands of others. This is due to the absence of the concept of justice in Egypt, turning the judiciary into merely a platform to read political and security decisions.
Read: Sisi's terrorist organisation
Without the slightest slander or exaggeration on the part of the government's opposition, the judiciary voluntarily condemned itself when it decides to destroy the immoral foundation on which the government of genocide, liquidation and indiscriminate killing was established, since July 2013. It convicted itself by announcing the fall of the mother of lies on which it based its massacres, i.e. that the Rabaa Al-Adawiya sit-in was held on a lake filled with bodies. This is the lie that journalists, intellectuals and politicians told and promoted, on orders from the government, in order to allow it to carry out the sit-in dispersal massacre. It allowed them to retrieve the bodies hidden under the feet of the protestors and to save others from a similar fate. The result was that the government executed thousands of individuals in a mass murder, witnessed live on air by the world, under the pretext of rescuing the country at a time when the world's humanitarian conscience was defective. There were few exceptions to this, including a man named Ahmed Saif Al-Islam Hamad, who told the truth and died. He was then punished by the authorities after dying, by imprisoning his only son and youngest daughter.
If we lived in a world that respects justice and supports humanity, all those who lied, provoked and instigated the dispersal of the Rabaa Al-Adawiya sit-in with brute force, would be standing before the ICC after the prosecution admits there were no bodies or heavy artillery. They would be charged with crimes against humanity, as this was the mother of the crimes that resulted in all of the subsequent heinous acts, leading up to the execution of innocent citizens without real trials.
People took to the streets in Time Square, New York, US on 13 August 2017, to mark 4 years since thousands were killed in Rabaa Al-Adawiya in Egypt following the deadly military coup. [Mohammed Elshamy/Anadolu Agency]
The reality on the ground indicates that Egypt is being governed now by an authority very similar to the Gestapo authority during the Nazi era. This authority would kill, torture and exile individuals under the pretext of "protecting the country" and were not subject to legal accountability. The Gestapo's legal counsel, Werner Best, stated: "As long the Gestapo police carried out the will of the leadership they are acting legally."
Now the Egyptian judiciary is assuming the role of the Gestapo with the Nazis. Has any of the concerned parties thought of monitoring and tracking the crimes carried out by the coup-led authority in order to prosecute it before the ICC? If they have thought of this, did they do their duty in this regard, or are they involved in a struggle over a corpse in exile?
Do something, or chant: Freedom for Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and death to the masses.

Dumb Mistakes That Will Wreck Your Job Interview →
Why Do Facebook Users Share Content?
What happens when you post new content to your company Facebook page? Do you see it redirected five, ten, 20 times over, shared by user after user, spreading like wildfire across different newsfeeds?
Or does your own company Facebook page feel an awful lot like a graveyard—posts that were all dead on arrival, receiving few likes and no real shares?
Sadly, a lot of small business owners fall into this second category. That's not their fault, either. Getting shares on Facebook is tough, and getting tougher all the time. Algorithmic changes within Facebook have made it difficult even to get your content seen, much less shared. Meanwhile, as more and more companies produce content, it's a challenge to make yours stand out.
The Psychology of Sharing
To complicate matters further, you can't trick your readers into sharing content. Bribery seldom works, either; sure, you'll get some shares if you offer a $100 giftcard to your top brand ambassadors, but who has the budget for that?
Ultimately, the reader must make the decision to share your content—and the reader will make that decision based on one thing and one thing only: How the content reflects the reader's personality, and how it will be perceived among the reader's friends.
Think of your Facebook followers as content curators. Everything they share on their own Facebook newsfeed is a reflection of who they are, and what they're trying to do is cultivate an accurate and compelling mosaic of who they are, or who they want their friends to think they are. Each piece of content they share has to fit into that mosaic.
Sharing for Different Reasons
Of course, Facebook users share content for different reasons. Sometimes, they are simply trying to entertain others. Sometimes they are looking to grow relationships, or else to define themselves in terms of a particular brand, style, or cause.
The first step toward getting more shares is to understand exactly what motivates people to share—the psychological factors that might compel a reader to make your company's content a piece of his/her mosaic. Some of the big reasons why people share content include:
It makes them look smart. Studies, high-quality blogs from industry publications, professional how-tos, glossy "think pieces"—some content just has an air of intelligence to it, and your readers may well want to be associated with that air.
It lets them be useful. Some of the most successful Facebook pages we've seen have been—for lack of a better term—pages attached to mom blogs. Why? Because the content offered is 100 percent practical—tips, recipes, parenting strategies… stuff that you can share and know that it will be actionable to the people reading it.
It makes them seem cool. Sometimes, people just want to post something with a provocative headline or an "inside info" vibe to it, because it makes them appear hip. There's nothing wrong with that!
So how do you get social shares? There isn't a trick to it. It all comes down to how well you understand these psychological motivations—and write content that plays right into them.
That's where we come in. Reach out to Grammar Chic's ace content writers today: Call 803-831-7444, or visit www.grammarchic.net.

In conversation with Elizabeth Martin, Independent Research Scholar
Martin, an NIEHS postdoctoral fellow, told me about her receipt of a National Institutes of Health award that helps her launch her own lab.
In my view, the strength of the NIEHS research enterprise is reflected in the roughly 200 postdoctoral, predoctoral, and postbaccalaureate scientists who help to advance the institute's vital mission, which is to promote healthier lives by discovering how the environment affects people. I am proud that our trainees receive support, mentorship, and professional development that paves the way for their career success, whether at NIEHS or beyond.
Recently, I interviewed one such success story. Elizabeth Martin, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral fellow in the institute's Epigenetics and Stem Cell Biology Laboratory who is mentored by Paul Wade, Ph.D. Martin just received a National Institutes of Health Independent Research Scholar award, given to outstanding early-career scientists committed to enhancing workforce diversity.
"I've been fortunate to work at NIEHS, which has a plethora of resources for trainees, including world-renowned environmental health scientists willing to share their expertise," said Martin. (Photo courtesy of Steve McCaw / NIEHS)
I was thrilled to speak with her about the award, her research interests, and what she hopes to accomplish going forward. I can happily report that with individuals such as Martin in the ascendance, the future of environmental health sciences research is indeed in good hands.
Pregnancy as a window of susceptibility
Rick Woychik: Can you talk a little bit about your Independent Research Scholar award?
Elizabeth Martin: I was fortunate to win this award because it provides me with a three-year, non-tenure track principal investigator position at NIEHS, and it is geared toward improving diversity in research science. I will still work with my mentor, Dr. Wade, but I also will pursue research that is independent of his work into how eukaryotic cells regulate gene expression.
I plan to look at pregnancy as a window of susceptibility to environmental toxicants for moms. We often think about the infant as being the more vulnerable one during pregnancy. However, I am really interested in whether there is an epigenetic reprogramming event that occurs in the mother and whether that increases her susceptibility to environmental agents, potentially leading to later-life negative health consequences.
Understanding individual risk
RW: Epigenetics refers to chemical modifications on DNA or the proteins associated with DNA that affect how genes are turned on and off. Understanding how environmental exposures influence such epigenetic changes is one of the key goals outlined in the NIEHS Strategic Plan 2018-2023, so I think it is great you are pursuing this line of research.
Before joining the institute, you received your doctoral degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, under the guidance of NIEHS Superfund Research Program grant recipient Rebecca Fry, Ph.D. You investigated how prenatal exposure to arsenic and other metals can affect individuals differently, based on how they metabolize these substances, for example.
That work dovetails with the concept of precision environmental health, which I covered in a recent Director's Corner conversation with Cheryl Walker, Ph.D., from Baylor College of Medicine. Can you talk about that research, which was the basis of your dissertation project?
Working in Wade's lab, Martin has started to think about science through both population-level and molecular lenses, a skill that is key for precision environmental health research. (Image courtesy of NIEHS)
EM: Absolutely. The motivation behind my previous and current research comes from the idea of precision environmental health, which is about expanding knowledge of individual risk and working to prevent disease. I was heavily influenced by a 2014 commentary by [former NIEHS and National Toxicology Program Director] Dr. Ken Olden. He discussed how scientists might incorporate epigenetics data into risk assessment and what such data might tell us about how chemical and nonchemical stressors can worsen health disparities.
Accounting for complexity
A challenge is to account for the complexity and variety of those stressors. Take arsenic as an example. If we look at different parts of the world, we see there is no one-size-fits-all exposure because we are dealing with mixtures involving not just arsenic but nutrition, various types of pollution, psychosocial stress, and so forth. Then there is the issue of timing — whether the exposure occurred prenatally, during puberty, or in adulthood.
Dr. Fry and I found inconsistent epigenetic changes across populations, making it difficult to determine which changes are true indicators of individual vulnerability. We hypothesized that exposures act on what are called transcription factors — proteins that turn genes on or off by binding to DNA — rather than directly on the DNA. That research was one reason I wanted to join Dr. Wade's lab, which delves into how transcription factors affect the epigenetic landscape.
I look forward to following Martin's research into how certain environmental exposures during pregnancy may affect the mother later in life. (Photo courtesy of Blue Planet Studio / Shutterstock.com)
Going forward, I hope to build on my work at Chapel Hill and NIEHS in the context of pregnancy. I want to identify consistent biological changes that may result from a given exposure, with an eye toward improving understanding of mothers' later-life disease risk.
Maternal health and phthalates
RW: You collaborated with 14 other NIEHS scientists on a special issue of the Journal of Women's Health that focused on maternal health, published in February. Can you talk about your involvement in that project?
EM: I worked on the breast cancer section of that publication with Dr. Sue Fenton, from the NIEHS Division of the National Toxicology Program. Through that project, I realized that pregnancy from the maternal side is understudied, especially in terms of how certain environmental exposures may lead to complications that turn into later-life problems such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease.
In thinking about what chemicals might affect pregnancy, I landed on DEHP [Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate], which is one of the most common — and most toxic — phthalates. Those are man-made chemicals used to make a variety of plastics, solvents, and personal care products. Almost all women are exposed to DEHP. Additionally, DEHP is thought to interfere with progesterone signaling, which is critical in pregnancy. Imbalances in that signaling can lead to preterm labor and prolonged labor.

(Rick Woychik, Ph.D., directs NIEHS and the National Toxicology Program.)
Timely support, mentorship
RW: Last year, you chaired the NIEHS Trainees Assembly [NTA] during what was a difficult time for young scientists, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Can you talk about that experience?
EM: I felt truly privileged to lead the assembly during that time.
NTA effectively communicated with NIEHS senior leaders about key issues we faced, such as not being able to work in our labs, concerns about lack of research productivity, and so forth.
The understanding and support we received in return were truly amazing and helped us build camaraderie when we perhaps needed it most.
And the institute's Office of Fellows' Career Development (OFCD) helped significantly, too. OFCD is staffed with wonderful people who are always willing to lend a hand.
Among other services, they help trainees navigate the job application process, provide networking opportunities, and teach leadership and communication skills.
RW: Is there anything else you would like to share with Environmental Factor readers?
EM: I'm lucky that I grew up around science. My mom is a dentist, my dad completed his doctoral degree in biochemistry, and my grandpa came to the U.S. from India to earn his Ph.D. in physics.
But when I was a child, I was diagnosed with visual tracking disorder, which affects me in a lot of ways. I still struggle with reading across straight lines and correctly ordering letters and numbers, among other tasks.
Growing up, it was particularly difficult because I had smart parents who wanted to help but couldn't relate. I definitely was the oddball in my family, who are all talented high achievers.
What really turned around my academic trajectory was the support I received from teachers who nurtured my talent.
Today, I still struggle with the fear that I'm not good enough, but I have an amazing group of mentors, particularly Dr. Fry and Dr. Wade, and friends who help me work through it. And my husband — he's definitely my biggest cheerleader.
Such experiences make me realize how important it is for scientists to support their peers, and certainly individuals just starting their careers. We don't know about peoples' private struggles, and a kind word here or there can really go a long way.
At NIEHS, I have been fortunate to work with Dr. Wade, who has encouraged me each day to pursue bold research questions and advance as a scientist. I have learned so much from him.
Before joining his lab, I viewed science mainly from the perspective of large study populations. But through his guidance, I can now approach research questions at the cellular level.
That is a skill that I know will serve me well as I advance in my career and dive further into epigenetics research.

Becoming the Center of Attention -- LightInTheBox.com Introduces Gossip Girl Fashions
BEIJING, April 28 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- LightInTheBox.com ( http://www.LightInTheBox.com ) introduced over 100 wardrobe selections from the popular TV series, Gossip Girl ( https://www.lightinthebox.com/html/Gossip-girl ). From cute hair bands to elegant evening dresses, LightInTheBox offers gossip girl fans around the world a more economic way to be the center of attention for all those special occasions.
The TV series Gossip Girl was adapted from the popular book series of the same name, written by Cecily von Ziegesar. The show was considered to be one of the most anticipated new series of 2007-2008, due mostly to the book being a New York Times bestselling novel. The show revolves around the lives of socialite teenagers growing up in New York City's Upper East Side. The series' drama stems from the characters attending an elite academic institution while dealing with friends, family, jealousy, and other issues.
While the plot of the show has created many controversies for the exaggeration in the amount of partying and lack of parental involvement in teenager's lives, the costume designs are known as popular fashion trendsetters. The clothes are as much a character as the wealthy adolescents themselves. From far-out fashions to wearable trends, the Gossip Girl styles are not only for teenagers. For those who were crazy about Jennifer Anniston's hair cut in 'Friends' and Sarah Jessica Parker's shoes in 'Sex and the City', Gossip Girl costumes are just another fashion inspiration stemming from TV shows.
Each character in Gossip Girl has their own fashion taste, and that is one of the biggest reasons why Gossip Girl fashion is so irresistible to a wide range of girls. For example, Blair Waldorf's style is very classic, preppy, and polished: definitely the quintessential upper-east-side stereotype. Serena Van Der Woodsen's sense of style mixes a lot of fashion-forward and vintage pieces, prompting for a "boho chic" look. In real life, not everyone can afford couture, and a funky wardrobe always comes with a price. LightInTheBox.com works with their suppliers to make trendsetting outfits affordable to all girls who are passionate about fashion around the world ( https://www.lightinthebox.com/html/Gossip-girl ).
About LightInTheBox:
LightInTheBox is a leading global value-added online distributor. It offers more than fifty thousand quality product selections to customers in more than 120 countries. It serves both individual consumers and commercial customers.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most prevalent behavioral disorder being addressed in schools today. The disorder begins in early childhood, usually before school age and effects four times as many boys as girls. It is estimated that 30-50% of those children with ADHD, if left untreated, will continue to manifest symptoms of this disorder into adulthood.
*Difficulty concentrating and paying attention to school work, a TV show, a task, etc.
Neurofeedback is a drug-free treatment alternative for ADHD. Over the past fifteen years a significant body of research, spearheaded by Dr. Joel Lubar at the University of Tennessee, has been developed in the biofeedback literature on diagnosing and treating children with ADHD and learning disabilities with an Electroencephalogram (EEG). By using specially designed, non-invasive EEG equipment, individuals can have their brainwaves monitored. Dr. Lubar's research has clearly demonstrated that children with ADHD and/or learning disabilities can be differentiated from normal children by observing their brainwave patterns. Then, by using the special feedback mechanisms built into the EEG the ( child, adolescent, or adult) can be trained to correct the brainwave abnormalities.
Neurofeedback training typically takes 40 - 60 sessions, depending on the severity of the disorder. frequency of training varies from 2 to 5 times per week for a period of four months to a year, depending on the frequency of visits.
EEG progress can generally be noticed after approximately ten sessions, while changes in behavior in the classroom can usually be noticed after two to four months of training.
* Are there any adverse side effects from this type of treatment?
No. Unlike the commonly prescribed drug methylphenidate hydrochloride (Ritalin), which may produce loss of appetite, sleeplessness and a decrease in growth, EEG biofeedback training has no side effects.
It depends on the insurance company and the individual coverage. Any chance of reimbursement will usually require a diagnosis and prescription for treatment from an M.D.

Lava Iris Pro 30+ sports a 13 MP camera, Rs 11,990 price tag
It features a 4.7-inch 720P screen, has a thickness of just 7.9mm and weighs 116 grams, making it one of the lightest and slimmest budget phones in the market.
BT Online Bureau Last Updated: August 22, 2014 | 10:55 IST
Lava has added a new phone in its Iris series of devices. The phone, Iris Pro 30+, is the successor of Iris Pro 30, which was launched in January this year. It will go on sale from August 26 at a price of Rs 11,990. While it will be available in all major offline and online stores, consumers buying it from Amazon.in will get a 16GB microSD card free.
The key feature of the Pro 30+ is 13-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash. The phone is also very compact. It features a 4.7-inch 720P screen, has a thickness of just 7.9mm and weighs 116 grams, making it one of the lightest and slimmest budget phones in the market.
The device is powered by a 1.5Ghz quad-core processor and 1GB RAM. It will come with 16GB internal storage, 2000 mAh battery, support for up to 32GB microSD card and 3-megapixel front camera.
The Pro 30+ runs two-year-old Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, which is rather unfortunate given the fact that the hardware looks good.
In the Indian market, the Pro30+ will compete against devices like Motorola Moto G, Xiaomi Mi 3 and Asus Zenfone 5. While in terms of hardware it matches the competition well, the older version of the Android inside the Pro 30+ may put it in tough spot against the competitors that run Android 4.4 KitKat.
