The Turing test is the name given to Alan Turing's test for mechanical intelligence. He called it the "Imitation game," which is described below. We also look at variations suggested by Daniel Dennett to support his claim that the Turing test is actually very strong. Turing's original description can be found in his 1950 paper, "Computing machinery and intelligence."
Replace the man with a machine!
Two philosophical points
The Turing test is quite strong
Weaker varieties
Candidate 1
We have a long way to go
Talking to machines (Radiolab, May 31, 2011)
The Turing Problem (Radiolab, March 19, 2012)
The game is played by three people: a man (A), a woman (B), and an interrogator (C) who may be of either sex. The interrogator stays in a separate room. The object of the game is for the interrogator to determine who of A and B (known to the interrogator as X and Y) is the man and who is the woman.
The interrogator asks questions of A and B such as: Will X please tell me the length of his or her hair?
A wants C (the interrogator) to come to the wrong conclusion. Thus, A may say his hair is long (which, we are supposing, gives C reason to think that A is a woman, i.e. that A is B).
Clearly, some measures must be taken so that C cannot simply see or hear who is the man and who is the woman. So conversation happens through a typewriter.
B, unlike A, wants C to come to the right conclusion. So, B may say, "I am the woman!" But so might A.
Before we talk about replacing one of these players with a machine, we should try to understand what Turing is doing here. Let's take it for granted (as I suppose he did) that men and women are quite different; that there is some fundamental distinction and a sophisticated interrogator might have a chance of telling them apart. (This must be Turing's belief because the imitation game is pointless if there is no reasonable way to distinguish the players, for example distinguishing identical twins with similar life experiences, neither of whom you know closely.)
So, given that men and women are very different, person A would succeed in confusing the interrogator (making C believe that X is B rather than the true answer, A), and similarly, person B would fail in convincing C of the truth, if A is a better imitator of a woman than B is, and furthermore that B's arguments to the contrary fail.
Thus, B may win (expose A as a man) if A is a bad imitator or B has really strong arguments.
Suppose C gets the right answer only p% of the time (perhaps with different interrogators but the same A and B players; Turing is unclear here). This performance p% is important to keep in mind.
Now we are ready to understand why Turing set up this game to test machine intelligence. If we replace A with a machine (perhaps B is still a woman, perhaps not, but of course is a human), then we have a test for machine intelligence.
Now, the machine is trying to convince the interrogator that it is a human, but the human is not. The human is trying to convince the interrogator that he or she is a human, but the machine is not.
Just as, supposedly, a man would find it difficult to immitate a woman, a machine would probably find it difficult to immitate a human. Yet, if the machine is not only able to act like a human but also (or alternatively?) to counteract the arguments produced by the human, then the machine is quite intelligent indeed.
Some interrogator may be naive. Thus, I believe this performance p% is relevant. If the same machine and human players (or perhaps different human players) can convince different interrogators more often than p% of the time, then the machine has passed the test. The machine need not achieve perfect performance (p = 100%), just has to beat human performance. (Because, presumably, humans are the most intelligent creatures that can be used in this test.)
I don't believe there is any reason to suppose a man can successfully convince a judge he is a woman and the woman is a man more than 50% of the time. If a man could do this, then he acts like a woman better than most other women, and furthermore can counteract their arguments to the contrary. Because the woman is arguing as well, maximum performance near 25% is probably more appropriate. Anyway, the machine's goal is to beat that figure, not achieve perfect convincing. The existence of a machine that can consistently convince a judge that it is human and the human is a machine, even though the human is begging for mercy, is an amazing thought!
Firstly, Descartes somewhat "predicted" the usefulness of such a test, even though he believed machines would never be able to pass it, in principle (because he thought machines could never respond to their environments):
If there were machines which bore a resemblance to our bodies and imitated our actions as closely as possible for all practical purposes, we should still have two very certain means of recognizing that they were not real men. The first is that they could never use words, or put together signs, as we do in order to declare our thoughts to others. For we can certainly conceive of a machine so constructed that it utters words, and even utters words that correspond to bodily actions causing a change in its organs. … But it is not conceivable that such a machine should produce different arrangements of words so as to give an appropriately meaningful answer to whatever is said in its presence, as the dullest of men can do. Secondly, even though some machines might do some things as well as we do them, or perhaps even better, they would inevitably fail in others, which would reveal that they are acting not from understanding, but only from the disposition of their organs. For whereas reason is a universal instrument, which can be used in all kinds of situations, these organs need some particular action; hence it is for all practical purposes impossible for a machine to have enough different organs to make it act in all the contingencies of life in the way in which our reason makes us act. — Source
Secondly, Leibniz investigated what he called the "identity of indiscernibles," (source) which is essentially the statement that two objects, \(x\) and \(y\), are identical if there does not exist any property that \(x\) has but \(y\) does not and vice versa.
The Turing test is essentially making a similar, though weaker, statement: machine intelligence and human intelligence are equivalent if there does not exist any observable property (observable via a typewriter, and observable by a singular human interrogator) that differentiates machine and human intelligence. In other words, if there does not exist any tell-tale question that separates the two forms of intelligence, then they are identical.
All quotes are from Dennett, "Can Machines Think?" (1985)
Remember, failure on the Turing test does not predict failure on those others, but success would surely predict success. His test was so severe, he thought, that nothing that could pass it fair and square would disappoint us in other quarters. Maybe it wouldn't do everything we hoped—maybe it wouldn't appreciate ballet, understand quantum physics, or have a good plan far world peace, but we'd all see that it was surely one of the intelligent, thinking entities in the neighborhood.
Terry Winograd, a leader in AI efforts to produce conversational ability in a computer, draws our attention to a pair of sentences. They differ in only one word. The first sentence is this: "The committee denied the group a parade permit because they advocated violence." Here's the second sentence: "The committee denied the group a parade permit because they feared violence."
The difference is just in the verb—"advocated" or "feared." As Winograd points out, the pronoun "they" in each sentence is officially ambiguous. Both readings of the pronoun are always legal. Thus, we can imagine a world in which governmental committees in charge of parade permits advocate violence in the streets and, for some strange reason, use this as their pretext for denying a parade permit. But the natural, reasonable, intelligent reading of the first sentence is that it's the group that advocated violence, and of the second, that it's the committee that feared the violence.
Now sentences like this are embedded in a conversation, the computer must figure out which reading of the pronoun is meant, it is to respond intelligently. But mere rules of grammar or vocabulary will not fix the right reading. What fixes the right reading for us is knowledge about politics, social circumstances, committees and their attitudes, groups that want to parade, how they tend to behave, and the like. One must know about the world, in short, to make sense of such a sentence.
The only way, it appears, for a computer to disambiguate that sentence and keep up its end of a conversation that uses that sentence would be for it to have a much more general ability to respond intelligently to information about social and political circumstances and many other topics. Thus, such sentences, by putting a demand on such abilities, are good quick probes. That is, they test for a wider competence.
A computer is intelligent; it wins the World Chess Championship.
That's not a good test, it turns out. Chess prowess has proven to be an isolatable talent. There are programs today that can play fine chess but do nothing else. So the quick-probe assumption is false far the test of playing winning chess.
The computer is intelligent; it solves the Arab-Israeli conflict.
This is surely a more severe test than Turing's. But it has some defects: passed once, it is unrepeatable; it is slow, no doubt; and it is not crisply clear what would count as passing it. Here's another prospect, then:
A computer is intelligent; it succeeds in stealing the British crown jewels without the use of force or violence.
Now this is better. First, it could be repeated again and again, though of course each repeat test would presumably be harder, but this is a feature it shares with the Turing test. Second, the mark of success is clear: either you've got the jewels to show for your efforts or you don't. But it is expensive and slow, a socially dubious caper at best, and no doubt luck would play too great a role.
Nobody actually practices with a real Turing test. It's too hard for the machine. Instead, the yearly Loebner Prize experiments with a reduced form of this test. The judges simply estimate how "closely" a computer imitates a human, and judges are not allowed to attempt trickery (such as typing random symbols) or delve into deep conversation.

We Served 1,285 Frontline Workers. Let Me Tell You How and Why.
Back in 2007, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) had been running "pipeline" programs – efforts to train incumbent workers up into hard to fill jobs – for a few years. In the course of running these programs, it became clear that many employees did not have the skills – particularly in reading and math – to be successful in our training programs.
BIDMC proposed to the Boston Foundation to develop a program now known as the Employee Career Initiative. The Boston Foundation made a three-year grant to BIDMC on the condition that BIDMC sustain the program with its own funds for an additional three years. In January 2018, we are celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the Employee Career Initiative, now fully funded by BIDMC.
In partnership with Bunker Hill Community College, BIDMC offers free pre-college courses in reading, English and math, and college-level biology, anatomy and physiology, and chemistry courses on-site after work hours. BIDMC pays the full cost of courses and textbooks.
On-site academic assessment at BIDMC: We are a satellite testing site for Bunker Hill.
Intrusive advising: We check in with employees when they have missed class or are struggling with coursework.
BIDMC employee-volunteer tutors: We match students with employee-volunteers knowledgeable on the subject.
All BIDMC employees can access a career and academic advisor who helps employees make a plan and take the next step toward moving their careers forward.
In 10 years this program has served 1,285 employees. We offer two sessions of classes each year, fall and spring, with four on-site classes per session. This past fall, we had 85 employees enrolled in classes, 8 of whom were paired with tutors.
Our class pass rates have been notable with completion ranging from 83% – 98%. This is due in part to the commitment of our students and our intrusive advising model.
The Employee Career Initiative has helped BIDMC scale up its career development programs, as more employees now have the skills to succeed in our internal training programs. The ECI has also served as a launching pad for employees to use tuition reimbursement to pursue further education in allied health, nursing, and other in demand fields.
Learn more about BIDMC and other Frontline Healthcare Worker Champions by visiting CareerSTAT at www.NationalFund.org/careerstat. CareerSTAT is currently seek applications for its 2018 Frontline Champions recognition program. The application period is open until March 30th, and all organizations are encouraged to apply.


Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta waves to supporters as he leaves a Jubilee Party campaign rally at Uhuru park in Nairobi, Kenya.
Kenyatta and Odinga are from storied political families. Kenyatta is the son of Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya's first president, and Odinga is the son of Jaramogi Odinga Odinga, the country's first vice president. One must win more than 50 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff election.
After losing the past two elections, this may be the last chance for the 72-year-old Raila Odinga to claim the seat that eluded his father. Odinga says he wants to restore a strong government, stamp out corruption and improve the lives of the poorest Kenyans.
The 55-year-old Kenyatta wants to avoid becoming the first Kenyan president not to win re-election. He won in 2013 with 50.03 percent of the vote, triggering an unsuccessful legal challenge by Odinga. Kenyatta at the time was facing criminal charges at the International Criminal Court over his alleged role in the 2007 election violence. Those charges were dropped due to lack of evidence, with the ICC prosecutor blaming unprecedented witness interference and bribery.
This time, Kenyatta has appeared more confident while campaigning, pointing to major infrastructure projects, many backed by China, and claiming strong economic growth.
Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga, the presidential candidate of the National Super Alliance (NASA )party, is surrounded by supporters from the Maasai community as he arrives on top of a car to an election rally in Suswa, Kenya.
Most political organizing in Kenya is tied to ethnicity. Many voters see Kenyatta as the candidate of the Kikuyu people, the country's largest ethnic group, and Odinga representing the Luo. That the Luo have never produced a head of state adds drama to the election.
"Many middle-class Kenyans will, in an instant, go from speaking of globalization and borderless innovation while sipping on their cafe macchiatos to offering blind support to a well-known thug who happens to be from their tribes," journalist Daniel Kalinaki wrote in a recent column for the Daily Monitor newspaper.
Kenyatta's running mate under the Jubilee coalition, Deputy President William Ruto, is expected to marshal the votes of his Kalenjin people. Odinga leads the National Super Alliance, which includes political leaders of the Kamba and Luhya ethnic groups.
But Kenya's political landscape is noted for shifting alliances. Kenyatta's running mate Ruto was an ally of Odinga in 2007, for example. Ruto is now being challenged at home by an influential governor who supports Odinga, which could split the Kalenjin vote that was crucial in Kenyatta's 2013 win.
Severe drought conditions in half of Kenya's 47 counties have worsened tensions over land as farmers face invasions from semi-nomadic herders seeking room to graze their cattle. In Laikipia county, more than 30 people have died. Some farmers say politicians have incited the herders with the aim of shifting demographics in their favor and winning elections.
Despite Kenya's expanding middle class and economic growth of 5.6 percent in 2016, according to national figures, poverty remains widespread. More than 40 percent of people live on less than $2 a day. Official corruption also feeds tensions.
Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga.
The al-Shabab extremist group, based in neighboring Somalia, already has threatened Kenya's elections with a series of deadly attacks in border areas. That strains Kenya's security forces as they seek to keep the elections free of violence.
The torture and killing in late July of Christopher Msando, an official in charge of Kenya's electronic voting system, has fueled concerns that the vote could be rigged. The biometric system malfunctioned in the 2013 election, leading to opposition claims of vote tampering.
As election observers, including former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, prepare for the vote, Kenyan officials have said it is "unlikely" they will shut down the internet — but they might shut down some social media if "necessary" to calm hate speech and incitement.
Despite the concerns, the International Crisis Group has said Kenya is better prepared this time to handle any violence. "There have been major efforts by security forces, civil society and the business community to try to forestall a crisis," its assessment says. "In short, unless there is large-scale failure of electoral equipment on election day or if the defeated candidate refuses to concede, a crisis on the scale of what happened in 2007 is unlikely."

This morning on Good Things Utah, Julee Ireland, It's a Glam Thing Lifestyle and DIY expert and author of the book series "DIY on the Fly" shared some "Spooktacular Halloween Party Must Haves".
Decorating pumpkins each year is something the whole family looks forward to, but let's face it, Mom or Dad does most of the work because sharp objects, such as a carving knife, are not exactly made for kids. That's why you will fall in love with the Spritz Pumpkin Craft Kits! Now you can put the craft paint and supplies out on the table and your kids can decorate their very own pumpkin with ease! This is also a great craft activity idea for a school or birthday party to keep the kids busy. Each kit comes complete with all of the self-adhesive supplies that you need to decorate your pumpkin. The best part is the price-$3.00 for the simple kits such as a bat, witch, fox, owl or cat and $5.00 for a few of the more elaborate decorative design kits which are perfect for adults. Now, head to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkin to use with your Spritz Pumpkin Craft Kit!
Planning the perfect party always begins with the perfect party theme. Almost everyone loves Halloween and dressings up in a costume, but some are not into the horror aspect of it and would rather decorate with bright colorful colors or happy jack-o-lanterns. The bright colored Spritz Day of the Dead Party Themed Plates, Napkins, Cups and more are fun. You also can't beat the price! They start at $1.00 and go up to $2.50. Get yours before they are sold out and enjoy the party!
Playing dress up is not just for kids when it comes to Halloween. Adults also love to go all out when putting together a creative costume, which sometimes includes face paint, and it's not always easy to do face painting on your self. Just about any of your local mass retailers carry Temporary Face Tattoos that are quick and easy to use. Use clothing from your own closet along with the Temporary Face tattoos to create a complete costume look! For the spider face, you can wear all black or for the deer you can outfit yourself in brown. The real icing on the cake is the price, at only $3.00. Now you can get creative and join in on all of the Halloween fun without spending a lot of money.
Just like there's more than one-way to skin a cat, there is also more than one-way to carve a pumpkin, or NOT! Here's a simple, fun and inexpensive way to re purpose your kids old crayons and create festive pumpkin decor for your home or as a table centerpiece without having to use a carving knife.
Step One: Take the outside wrapper off of your crayons and cut the crayons in half.
Step Two: Glue your crayons on top of your pumpkin using your tacky glue.

And while being a parent may be the hardest job a Mom will ever love, there are a few preparations she can make to help allow for smooth sailing when her special delivery arrives.
· A baby's skin is his or her first line of defense and because it takes time for their skin to mature, it requires special care. Moisturization is essential in helping protect and maintain their delicate skin barrier. NEW CeraVe® Baby Moisturizing Cream moisturizes for up to 24 hours with one application. Developed with pediatric dermatologists, this "must-have" cream is formulated for babies with sensitive skin or eczema, as it contains three essentials ceramides and dimethicone to help provide intense moisturization to temporarily help relieve chafed, chapped or cracked skin.
· Protecting your baby's skin during the scorching summer months is a well-known must.
But don't be fooled by cool, crisp days; sun protection is necessary 365 days a year. Remember to keep infants under six months out of the sun. Once baby is slightly older, at least six months, apply NEW CeraVe® Baby Sunscreen SPF 45 to help protect their sensitive skin from the sun's UVA and UVB rays. This formula contains 100% naturally sourced physical sunscreen ingredients to provide broad spectrum sun protection and essential ceramides to help repair and restore the protective skin barrier.
· Little bundles of joy can quite accurately be described as "bundled" during the newborn phase, but autumn's temperature swings can make it challenging to keep your baby comfortable. And while nothing says comfort to a baby quite like a soft blanket, many heavy versions may be too bulky to use in a stroller. Keep layer-friendly clothing and blankets on hand to offer flexibility when fall's temperature begins to dip.
· Late nights, early mornings and midnight feedings mean naptime is sacred to a new mom.
Tune out disruptive noise with a soothing sound machine to help baby fall and stay asleep.
Yes, the early stages of parenthood can be exhausting, but these simple preparations can help new parents remain cool as they transition from summer to fall.
All CeraVe® Baby products have been awarded the National Eczema Association (NEA) Seal of Acceptance™, which maintains rigorous standards for approval. The entire CeraVe® Baby line is also hypoallergenic and fragrance-, paraben-, gluten- and phthalate-free.
Simona Fusco is best known for the beautiful Swedish bombshell Ulsa in "Beerfest" and Hedda in "The Pool boys" (an American Pie franchise) Simona has been a cover model for numerous publications including Maxim, Esquire, FHM and People Magazine. Her latest acting role is on the Family Film " Beverly Hills Christmas" which will premiere Nov 1-7 2015 on UPTV starring Dean Cain where she plays the bad girl ,Yvonne.
Q: How do you keep yourself looking camera ready?
Simona: I have to make sure that I stick to my beauty regimen by first taking all my makeup off every night and applying the proper products to protect the face.
Q: What type of beauty products do you use?
Simona: My beauty secrets are pretty simple: I invest in good products. Some of my faves are La Prairie, Natura Bisse and Luzern. All of these products are available at spas.
Q: Do you do anything else to keep your lovely skin looking great?
Simona: I love to indulge in facials once a month to keep my skin in shape. For my body, to keep my skin soft and moist, I love Kiehl's Creme de Corps. I get it at a department store. It has all natural ingredients and leaves your skin looking dewy and subtle.
Q: What about your long mane of hair?
Simona: As far as my hair, I love Kerastase. My hair salon sells it but most department stores sell it as well. I love the yellow and red kind which moisturizes color treated hair.
Q: What is your best kept beauty secret?
Simona: When it comes to water it's very important to drink good water and even shower and bathe in good water free of aging and unhealthy chemicals. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and therefore absorbs everything you apply. I use a filter in my shower to get rid of any chlorine and other chemicals that not only damage your skin but also your hair and prematurely ages you. I drink plenty of water and eat healthy organic whole foods. I've invested in a machine called Kangen water which filters all the bad chemicals out of your drinking water system. I highly recommend it as its used in hospitals in Japan to cure life threatening diseases and skin issues. Other than that I believe in surrounding yourself with positive, supportive, driven individuals is not only good for your soul and psyche but also makes you feel good about yourself and your outlook on life which in turn makes you beautiful from the inside out. Happiness gives everyone a healthy glow!
On Friday, Julee Ireland lets Indy Style viewers know "How to incorporate the Pantone color of the year Marsala into your home decor". Here are Julee's ideas to share just for you!
I always say, "Lighting is the jewelry for your home" because it is! It does much more for your home decor than light your way across the room; lighting brings with it, color, vibrancy, shape and texture helping to set the tone and mood for your room. I love the simplicity of the round design elements and the rich Marsala color of Irene lamp by Safaveigh found at Wayfair. It comes as a set of two lamps 31"H x 14"Wx14"D making is a nice overall scale for side tables, nightstands or the office. It also has a maximum wattage of 100 which, allows for a nice bright light if you need it. Wayfair offers many other great products for your home or office with designer looks for less. Wayfair's Price $159.99 for the set.
No home is complete without a nice comfy blanket for movie night or a lazy day around the house. If it's in the color Marsala it's even better! This rich tone adds a beautiful pop of color to any room in your home. I love this simple throw blanket from Wayfair. It's 70% Acrylic and 30% wool so it adds warmth and it's soft to the touch at the same time. Wayfair offers many other great products for your home or office with designer looks for less. Wayfair's Price $60.00.

Sir Michael Powell
Suggested Films:
49th Parallel (1941)
One of Our Aircraft Is Missing (1942)
The Red Shoes (1948)
Luna de miel (1959)
Michael Latham Powell (September 30, 1905-February 19, 1990) was a British film director, renowned for his partnership with Emeric Pressburger which produced a series of classic British films. He was one of the truly great innovators of early British Cinema and was well ahead of his time in creating a body of work that displayed a true devotion to the cinematic arts; exuding vision, craft and expertise in handling the medium.
Powell was born in Bekesbourne, Kent, and educated at The King's School, Canterbury and then at Dulwich College. He left Dulwich College to work in a bank before his father, a hotelier on the French Riviera, secured him an introduction to the Hollywood Irish director Rex Ingram. Powell worked for Ingram in 'The Magician' (1926)) as a general assistant, he then entered the British film industry as story analyst and stills photographer. Through his friendship with Alfred Hitchcock, he got a chance to co-direct a now forgotten comedy of manners, 'Caste', and soon after was directing 'quota quickies', which cinemas had to show with every American film. Most were farces or cheap thrillers.
Powell knew he could do better. Between 1931 and 1936, Powell directed twenty-three films, some ordinary, some very sprightly: The Phantom Light (1935), for example, is an enjoyable comedy-thriller set in a purportedly haunted lighthouse. In 1939 he met Emeric Pressburger whilst they worked together on The Spy in Black.
He worked on Korda's rapidly put together flag-waver, 'The Lion Has Wings' (1939), and directed parts of 'The Thief of Bagdad' (1940) before Korda transferred the production to Hollywood. He then started to work with Pressburger that yielded a string of important films.
At first, their great subject was the War, but this gradually came to encompass intense, strange discussions of national character and consequent flights of fancy. '49th Parallel' and 'One of our aircraft is missing' are companion pieces, one about stranded Nazi sub-mariners making their way across Canada, the other about downed RAF fliers assisted by the Dutch underground. Boldly, in view of the political climate, Powell and Pressburger insisted on stressing the difference between being German and being a Nazi, a crucial theme in '49th Parallel' and subsequently in 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp' (1943).
Powell and Pressburger went on to jointly write, produce, and direct, 'A Canterbury Tale', 'I know where I'm going', 'Stairway to Heaven', all during World War II. The humour and point-of-view of these films alienated many British critics, but delighted audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. Then there was 'A Matter of Life and Death', in which David Niven fights for his life and love in a monochrome heaven, bleeding into a Technicolor world down below. After the war came 'Black Narcissus', a claustrophobic, erotic film about a community of nuns in the Himalayas destroyed by the burgeoning sexuality of one of their wards. This time, Powell decided that the mountains would be recreated in the studio: the furthest afield the crew went was West Sussex.
He took the artificiality one step further in 1948, with his reworking of Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Red Shoes'. The story of an ambitious ballet dancer, Vicky, is woven into the fairy tale; Powell commissioned an original 17-minute ballet, so that both on and off the stage Vicky's red shoes could dance her to death.
The early '50s saw a decline in fortunes for the filmmakers, and their partnership dissolved in 1956. Powell continued to make movies of a fiercely personal nature until 1960, when the critical reaction to Peeping Tom — about a man who mixes voyeurism, cinema, and murder, and is now considered a classic — ended his career in England
He worked for American and European television during the 1960s and '70s, and was rediscovered in the late '70s with the help of Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, who regarded Powell as one of the most important influences on their individual work.
Powell's legacy is shared with Emeric Pressburger, his friend and partner, who produced whilst Powell directed many of their most lasting moments. Powell always stated that their relationship on set was something like a marriage, and they dubbed themselves "The Archers". Like all great partnerships, their success was proliferated through their ability to compliment each other in the creative processes of filmmaking as opposed to how alike they were.
Indeed they were vastly different characters, with varied backgrounds. Powell descended from a wealthy, land-owning family from the Medway region of England, 'A Man of Kent' he always reported himself to be and that he remained until his death. Contrastingly, Pressburger was a Hungarian Jew who fled to London during World War Two who quickly garnered an insightful and analytical attitude towards his adopted country and its people. He always prided himself on his ability to understand the English 'from the outside looking in'.
Undaunted by tackling any subject matter or genre, Powell swiftly developed a personal style that was largely uncelebrated at the time. However over the years these images have not lost any of their charm and vigour and when viewed today appear vibrant and extremely ambitious.
Unfortunately for Powell he worked many years before the 'cult of the director' caught on. Today successful directors are superstars, able to make or break a movie as much as anyone performing in front of the camera. In Powell's day directors were viewed as little more than technicians. As a result, recognition came late for Powell, he had already hung up his light meter when his reputation was reappraised in the 1970's by the up and coming generation of filmmakers who had admired his work whilst growing up, at the fore of this group was Martin Scorsese, who befriended Powell in his final years.
But in his 1982 autobiography, he said:
'We (Emeric Pressburger) have been privileged to live to see films which, 40 years ago, we hoped, modestly, would be considered good, hailed as masterpieces'
Through his years in the wilderness, Powell never lost faith in his vision. Michael Powell was was married to Thelma Schoonmaker from May 17, 1984 until his death in 1990.
'I am not a director with a personal style – I am Cinema'
'I fell in love in 1921 when my celluloid mistress was the most beautiful, fascinating, irresistible object in the world'

This recipe post was sponsored by Avocados From Mexico in partnership with Forward Influence. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Winter themed cranberry guacamole made with Avocados From Mexico is made with fresh diced cranberries for an extra pop of tart flavor. Drizzle in TABASCO® Sauce for an extra kick and serve alongside a cold RITAS for the perfect Big Game party celebration.
I am obsessed with avocados. I love them, need to have them in my life daily, and frequently travel with them to make sure I'm never caught off guard without an avocado nearby.
Naturally, I love the Avocados From Mexico since they're healthy, delicious and always in season – I pretty much can't ask for anything more. And they happen to be perfectly creamy without too high of a water content, making them the perfect guacamole avocado.
If you ask me guacamole is the ultimate versatile party dip/spread – it literally brings people together. As soon as the guac comes out people huddle around it immediately. I mean everyone just wants to savor winning flavors, right?
And that's how people behave around regular guac – wait until they try my winter themed cranberry guac.
This recipe is inspired by my cousin's girlfriend's' guac that she brought to my family New Years' party last year. The cranberry guac was meant to shared by all 16 guests, but a select few of us (myself included) gobbled the whole large bowl of it in a matter of minutes (if not seconds).
I was amazed – it was amazing. The addition of fresh diced cranberries gave the guacamole an unbelievable refreshing burst of tart flavors as well as crunch; it was addicting. I couldn't get enough and promised myself that I will make this cranberry guac recipe myself to share with others.
Now that we've got the crunch and tartness settled let's talk heat. To give this cranberry guac a bit of a spicy kick I added both diced jalapeños as well as a splash of TABASCO® Sauce. TABASCO® Sauce happens to be my favorite ingredient to add a bit of spice and excitement to any meal. I love how it really accents and deepens flavors as an ingredient while being made of simple ingredients; red peppers, salt and vinegar. It just has a kick that I love and it works in guacamole as well as all sorts of other recipes that need some heat!
This cranberry guacamole also has some of the classic guacamole ingredients – cilantro and lime juice. Sometimes I like to add in a bit of diced onion for extra crunch, or a crushed clove of garlic for a stronger flavor, maybe even a spoonful of olive oil to blend everything together. And following my cousin's girlfriend's expert recipe a spoonful of sweetener really balances everything out.
This cranberry guacamole will be the perfect appetizer for a Big Game party. As I write this my husband is literally watching game highlights so football seems to be on the mind these days.
You simply cannot celebrate the Big Game without avocados present – I mean, doesn't everyone watch the Big Game mostly for the Avocados From Mexico commercial?
Well, maybe not everyone, but that's the highlight of the TV event for me! To further elevate the party mood you'll need something fruity, fizzy and fun – aka a few cans of RITAS for the occasion. Lime-A-Rita happens to be the perfect accompanying flavor to my cranberry guac, and you can think of it as a classic Margarita with some added fun and none of the work.
If you're hosting a Big Game party use your time making avocado centric appetizers instead of complicated custom cocktails.
Since we're on the topic of celebratory moods I'm also happy to share that I'm hosting a giveaway in this post too!
Enter the giveaway below for a chance to win a $1000 prize!
Best of luck to everyone and even if your team doesn't win the Big Game you have to chance to win big here and you'll have gained this cranberry guacamole in your life! This recipe only required a handful of ingredients but is sure to be the party show stopper.
The best thing about guacamole is the endless variations and alterations that you can make to it to adjust it to your preferred taste. If you want a spicier guac add more jalapeños or TABASCO® Sauce or omit both if you can't handle the heat.
If you can't find fresh cranberries, use frozen, or if you don't like cranberries try using pomegranate ariels instead.
To add more crunch and depth feel free to add in some diced yellow or red onions as well as a smashed clove of garlic.
For more of a spread make sure the avocado is completely mashed/pureed, or if you prefer more of a salsa consistency cube the avocado instead of mashing it.
The possibilities are endless and as long as you're having guac in one form or another I'm happy!
Please share your favorite guac variations in the comments below and let me know if you've ever tried cranberry guacamole!
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix. Taste and adjust to your taste preferences, add more lime juice, TABASCO® Sauce, jalapeños, or maple syrup as needed to reach the perfect balance of flavors.
I would love to receive the weekly meal plan.
Cranberry and Guacamole sounds like an interesting combo! Looks great!
I never would have thought of adding cranberries to guacamole but now that I've seen this recipe, I want to make it because not only does it look delicious but it also makes sense and I bet goes together really well. And incidentally, I love Rita's!
You would love this! The cranberries are perfect for a winter guac!
I'm not even a sports fan but I'd sit through any game for a bowl of this epic guac! I thought I'd had it every which way, but adding cranberries is such an inspired idea ~ love it!
Thanks so much! Not a sports fan either – I'm just there for the food!
This looks sooo good! give me some chips so I can eat this up! Delicious!
This is interesting! It looks amazing together, we love guacamole now I definitely need to try this!

The Bibliography of Aeolian Research (BAR) is a comprehensive 2015 bibliography focused on the study of the detachment, transport, and deposition of sediments by wind.

Aeolian research is a sub-discipline of the physical sciences that focuses on the activity of the winds, with an emphasis on the winds' ability to interact with and shape the surface of the Earth and other planets.  Aeolian research spans a broad array of disciplines and may include the study of aeolian processes and associated aeolian landforms, aeolian deposits, and sedimentary features; the study of wind erosion and its control by tillage, cover crops, shelterbelts, and other management practices; and the study of mineral dust, dust storms and the effects of fine particulate matter on climate and air quality.

An extensive Bibliography of Aeolian Research (BAR) was constructed that contains references to every known scientific manuscript published in the field of aeolian research from 1646 to 2015. The BAR contains over 43,000 bibliographic citations.

As with most bibliographies, the Bibliography of Aeolian Research has benefited from past bibliographies.  The BAR lists more than forty-five bibliographies that focus on at least one aspect of aeolian research and parts of these have been incorporated into the BAR.  Older bibliographies are especially important because they provide a record of early publications.  The oldest bibliography incorporated into the BAR is the Bibliography of Meteorology compiled by Oliver Fassig in 1889.  Citations have also been extracted from the Bibliography of Eolian Geology prepared for the United States Department of Agriculture by Conrad Stuntz and Edward Free. Other important bibliographies that have been incorporated into the BAR include two online bibliographies that were maintained by Andrew Warren of University College London titled A Bibliography of Wind Erosion and Related Phenomena and A Bibliography of Desert Dunes and Associated Phenomena.  The Bibliography of Aeolian Research contains more citations extracted from these two bibliographies than from any other source.  Citations were also obtained from a monthly internet posting called Aeolian Papers of the Month, a list of published papers compiled each month from 1996-2001 by Thomas Gill at the Texas Tech University.

Editors Andrew Warren, John Stout and Thomas Gill collected bibliographic citations by searching databases and extracting citations from recent publications. New entries included citations to scholarly articles, books, theses, dissertations, and reports.

ANC decides to let Angelo Agrizzi's State Capture testimony slide
The ANC has abandoned its application to cross-examine Angelo Agrizzi.
by Luke Daniel
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – JANUARY 29: Former Bosasa Chief Operations Officer (COO) Angelo Agrizzi testifies at the commission of inquiry into state capture on January 29, 2019 in Johannesburg, South Africa. - Photo: Gallo Images / Netwerk24 / Felix Dlangamandla
The African National Congress (ANC) will not cross-examine former Bosasa executive, Angelo Agrizzi, on his damning State Capture testimony.
As reported byBusiness Day, ANC spokesperson Dakota Legoete confirmed that, while the party rebuked the testimony provided by Agrizzi before the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, the party would not embark on a cross-examination process. Legoete added that the damage done by Agrizzi to the party's election campaign was unfortunate.
ANC abandons applcation to cross-examine Angelo Agrizzi
It was widely speculated that the ANC would indeed challenge Agrizzi on his shocking testimony, which alleged that the ruling party engaged in numerous dodgy business deals and, in so doing, undermined the rule of law. The former Bosasa Chief Operating Officer detailed a web of deceit, bribery and corruption, which implicated the ANC's top six in State Capture.
Prior to the recent decision to abandon an application to cross-examine Agrizzi, Legoete said that the ANC would challenge the Bosasa boss' testimony, which, he argued, was solely designed to undermine the party ahead of the 8 May elections.
Legoete added that after receiving legal advice, the decision was made to abandon the application. The spokesperson also added that the R12 million allegedly given as bribes to ANC executives were, in fact, donations.
Damning State Capture testimony
Daniel Witz, Agrizzi's lawyer, noted that no application to cross examine his client had been filed by any member of the ANC, including those directly implicated in the State Capture saga.
Environmental affairs minister, Nomvula Mokonyane, who is currently mourning the recent loss of her husband, is reportedly intending to apply for cross-examination at a later stage. Agrizzi testified that he had paid Mokonyane exorbitant bribes along with a host of other costly favours.
Other damning testimony included claims that former president Jacob Zuma had personally received upwards of R300 000 per month in bribes.

Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson denies new sexual harassment allegations
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson is accused of sexually harassing a city employee; he has denied the allegations. Above, Johnson in 2012.
(Rich Pedroncelli / Associated Press)
By Lauren Raab
New sexual harassment allegations have been leveled against Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, who fired back Thursday, saying the claim had "absolutely no merit."
According to the claim filed last month by Estrellita Ilee Muller, who used to work in the city manager's office, Johnson called her into his private library in City Hall in December 2013 and gave her "an unwelcome and close hug." He "felt along her torso" and tried to kiss her, then proposed they begin a sexual relationship even though she had pushed him away and told him she was married, it says.
When Muller declined, the claim says, Johnson told her not to decide right away, adding that he would pass by her desk in the coming weeks for her answer -- a thumbs-up or thumbs-down.
Muller complained to several city representatives and said she feared retaliation and further harassment, but the city representatives did nothing to protect her, the claim says.
According to the claim, the harassment continued. In July 2014, it says, Johnson accused Muller of avoiding him. The next month, it says, he approached Muller's desk and asked to see her hands, then played with her thumbs.
Johnson denied all the allegations.
"The incidents described in the complaint simply never happened. Ever," he told reporters Thursday.
The claim said Muller transferred to the city's Human Resources Department and turned down a city job "with higher pay and flexibility" to avoid the mayor.
Muller is seeking $200,000, citing "severe and extended physical, mental and emotional distress; medical expenses; lost wages and additional out-of-pocket loss."
The allegations were brought to the city's attention "weeks before the 2014 November election," Johnson told reporters Thursday.
He said the city performed an internal investigation, then hired outside counsel to review the evidence collected in the investigation, and determined twice that the allegations were unsubstantiated.
Johnson has faced allegations of sexual misconduct in the past.
Early in his 2008 mayoral campaign, the Sacramento Bee detailed a draft agreement that had Johnson paying a $230,000 settlement to a 16-year-old Phoenix girl he had mentored in the mid-1990s. She told police he fondled her. He had denied it.
A federal inspector general's report cited other allegations of sexual misconduct. One case alleged that Johnson had inappropriately touched a Sacramento high school senior. Although the girl later denied the story, the federal report detailed similar allegations about advances toward two young women involved in an inner-city program.
Investigations were conducted in Sacramento and Phoenix. No charges were filed.
Johnson, a former NBA player who grew up in Sacramento, gained acclaim in 2013 for his successful effort to keep the Sacramento Kings basketball team from leaving town. The mayor married Michelle Rhee, a former chancellor of public schools in Washington, D.C., in 2011.

More and more consumers are turning to car title loans in AZ for quick cash. Title loans are relatively easy to receive and pay back, but only if you truly understand the process and the conditions of your loan before you sign.
There are a lot of title loan companies out there that will try to get you to sign with them, but you shouldn't jump at the first one you see. Different companies offer title loans with different terms, and one loan's terms might work better for your budget and personal needs.
Process for application: Before you can get a loan, you'll need to apply for one, and each company will have a different process for their applications. Some companies require you to fill out a form online or in person, while others let you call to see if you qualify. Also check on how long the process will take—will you be verified the same day? If you're looking for quick cash, you probably don't want to wait more than a few days.
Application fees: Similarly to the application process, look into whether or not the company charges a fee for a loan application. There's a chance that you may not be approved for a loan, in which case you will have wasted money, so be cautious when applying for loans.
How quickly you'll get cash: The whole point of car title loans in AZ is to get a loan quickly and easily. You don't want to wait for a week or more to be able to have your cash in hand. Research how quickly the company you're considering will be able to distribute your loan and what format it will be in (check or bank deposit).
Low interest rates: Lenders make money from the interest they charge on your loan. You will ultimately owe some interest on your loan when you're paying it off, but you can reduce the total amount owed by finding a title loan with a low interest rate. Compare a few rates from different companies before signing.
Repayment fees: Another way to cut down on total accrued interest is by paying your loan off early. However, some companies will charge you a fee for early repayment, so be sure to understand what kind of fees are involved with your loan as early as possible.
Payment options: When it comes time to pay back your loan, you'll need to know the exact terms of the loan to pay it on time and in full. Know how long your loan term will be and see if there are other options that suit your budget better. Also ask your loan provider what forms of payment they accept so you can be prepared when payments are due.
To obtain a fast and easy loan, call Cash-N-Go Auto Title Loans of Phoenix. We provide customers with low interest rates and different loan options to meet your needs. With no prepayment penalties or hidden fees, we are an experienced lender you can trust for car title loans in AZ. Call us today!

Maddy Nelson has an idyllic existence: a handsome husband, great kids, a comfortable, affluent lifestyle. One morning soon after she turns fifty, however, she wakes up in her San Francisco home to find her husband Steven announcing that he's leaving her for a woman half her age. And a third of her size.
Feeling totally unmoored and grieving for her married life and husband, Maddy finds herself thrust into an unfamiliar and uncomfortable world of middle-aged singledom. There, she must come to terms with her situation and embark on her new life: divorce proceedings, single parenting, internet dating, and trying to earn a living. It's enough to drive her over the brink. To help her cope, she shares her struggles in a smart, wry blog named The Blasphemy Box, after her ex-husband's obnoxious habit of having her drop a quarter into a wooden box every time she said something off color. Her madcap middle-aged adventures find her devoted readers who identify with her challenges.
In time, Maddy recreates herself and finds happiness in the arms of a good man, and a fulfilling new career as a novelist.
Mandy Behbehani grew up in England and now lives in California. She holds a journalism degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia and is a professional journalist whose work has appeared in a variety of publications from the Los Angeles Times and the San Francisco Chronicle to W magazine, Town & Country magazine and Travel & Leisure magazine.
Review – This book really touched home for me. When I was terribly young I got married. I wasn't with him years like Maddy was with her husband but at the time my heart was ripped out and it hurt. Now I call it my faux marriage. I knew everything that Maddy felt, my heart was with her as she made her journey.
Maddy started blogging to help deal with her grief and to spark her writing career. As sad as it is to go through a divorce the author added a lot of humor. Watching Maddy try internet dating , deal with being a single parent, and juggling her job was funny. I bet you are wondering what is the Blasphemy Box? It's where Maddy has a potty mouth and has to throw money in there every time she cusses.
You don't have to be divorced to enjoy this book. Even if you know someone that is (and don't we all?) This is the perfect book to curl up with by a fire or read on the beach.

Prithivivallabh () is a 1921 Gujarati historical novel by  Kanaiyalal Munshi. The novel depicts the rivalry between Munj, the ruler of Dharanagari and Tailap as well as the romance between Munj and Mrinal. The novel draws historical information from various medieval works. It was well received by readers and critics. It was adapted into films and a television series.

Plot
Prithivivallabh is based on the history of Malwa region of India. The novel depicts the rivalry between Munj, the ruler of Dharanagari and Tailap as well as the romance between Munj and Mrinal. Munj had defeated Tailap several times but Tailap captures Munj with help of his feudatory Yadava king Bhillamraj. In captivity, Munj falls in love with Mrinal, Tailap's widow sister. Celibate Mrinal too falls in his love but in the end, Tailap gets Munj killed under the feet of an elephant. The love story of Bhoj, a poet; and Vilas, daughter of Bhillamraj engaged with Satyashraya, son of Tailap; runs in parallel.

Origin
Munshi was interested in the medieval history of India and was attracted to Munj's depiction in works of that era. Munshi has mentioned the works of several poets of that time who have praised Munj in their works such as Dhanajaya's Dasarupaka, Dhanika's Avaloka based on Dasarupaka, Dhanpala's son Sarvadeva's Paiya Lachchhi and Rishabhapanchashika in the preface of the book. He has also mentioned Nava-sahasanka-charita by Padmagupta written during the reign of Sindhuraja, the successor of Munja. Munshi was interested in his love of poetry and his military endeavors. He also studied Tailapa's history. Munshi mentioned that all characters he used in the novel are historical like Tailapa's son Akalakacharita or Satyashraya; Bhillam Yadava of Seunadesha, his wife Lakshmi who was the daughter of the Rashtrakuta king Jhanjha of Latur as well as Mrinalvati. Munshi confesses in the preface that he was attracted to Munja as other novelists. He had the idea to write a novella on him for years and finally started its writing when his friend and publisher Haji Mohammed Allarakha insisted. Haji had died before Munshi completed the novella.

Reception
Prithivivallabh was well received by the readers as well as critics. The book had its second edition in 1924. The book has several editions and has been translated in Hindi. Chandrakant Topiwala lauds depiction of the period, speedy episodes, dramatic presentation, characterization and language. He also lauds lack of complexity in the novel. He adds that even though novel is less historical and more fiction it juxtaposes celibate Mrinal and romantic Munj very well.  Prashad Brahmbhatt equates Munj with Friedrich Nietzsche's Übermensch (Superman). The lack of moral values in the novel raised controversy. It was criticised for its "uninhibited presentation of sensuous life bordering to hedonism and irreverent attitude to the Hindu ideals of austerity and abstinence".

Adaptations
The novel was adapted into a silent film in 1924 by Manilal Joshi which was criticized by Mahatma Gandhi for its content. Prithvi Vallabh is 1943 Hindi film directed by Sohrab Modi based on the script written by Munshi which was adapted from the book. In 1978 a Gujarati film, Malavpati Munj, was released to critical acclaim, staying true to the book, and with an all-star cast including Upendra Trivedi as Munj. Prithvi Vallabh - Itihaas Bhi, Rahasya Bhi is 2018 Indian historical drama broadcast by Sony Entertainment Television, also took inspiration from the book.

Government, UN launch revised humanitarian appeal
(l-r: UN Resident Coordinator, Bishow Parajuli; The Ministry of Local Government, Rural and Urban Development, Hon. July Moyo; World Food Programme Executive Director, David Beasley; Minister of FInance and Economic Development, Hon. Mthuli Ncube)
During the launch of the Revised Zimbabwe Humanitarian Appeal (January 2019 to April 2020) held today, the Government, United Nations, civil society and development partners reinforced their collective commitment to address the increasing humanitarian needs of the vulnerable people negatively impacted by climate and economic shocks. The renewed commitment came as new evidence of increasing vulnerabilities emerged, whereby an estimated 5.5 million people in the rural areas are food insecure, of whom over 3 million people – or 38% of the rural population – are projected to be in need of urgent humanitarian support between the period October to December 2019. Urban vulnerability is also on the rise, with the Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare estimating that up to 2.2 million people in urban areas are food insecure. An urban vulnerability assessment is currently ongoing; its findings and recommendations will further inform urban humanitarian actions.
In support of the Government's efforts, the Revised Zimbabwe Humanitarian Appeal targets the multi-sectoral priority humanitarian needs of 3.7 million vulnerable people, with a total requirement of USD 331.5 million between the period July 2019 to April 2020. The revised appeal prioritizes life-saving support targeting the people most in need, including residual humanitarian needs of cyclone-affected communities.
The launch was jointly hosted by the Government and the UN System in Zimbabwe. David Beasley, Executive Director of the UN World Food Programme (WFP), who is on an official visit to Zimbabwe this week, joined the launch as a special guest. "We must rapidly scale up to meet the urgent food needs of those hardest hit by the economic crisis and the drought. But even as we ramp up to meet those immediate needs, we must work harder on the long-term problems – strengthening those communities that are chronically hungry, so they can better withstand climate shocks and other emergencies," stressed Beasley.
Highlighting the Government's ongoing efforts, His Excellency Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, President of the Republic of Zimbabwe - in a statement - said: "Above all, the Government's response strategy seeks to protect and empower the vulnerable, principally women, children and the girl-child whose educational prospects must not be diminished by the unfolding humanitarian challenge."
Recognizing the efforts made by the Government both in addressing the humanitarian challenges faced in country – from the Cyclone Idai response to the current food insecurity situation – and in addressing the macro-economic challenges through the implementation of the Transitional Stabilisation Programme, UN Resident Coordinator, Bishow Parajuli, said: "While efforts are being undertaken to address these extremely complex sets of challenges, there is a moral obligation and an urgency for the international community to lend a hand to support those most in need with humanitarian assistance."
With the generous support from the development partners and the joint efforts by the humanitarian actors, USD 133 million or 45.5 percent of the priority humanitarian needs have been met between the period January to June 2019, reaching two million women, men and children with critical and life-saving interventions. Close to 1.2 million people received food assistance; 400,000 people received clean water and safe sanitation; 600,000 people received essential health services; and, 16,000 girls and boys received child protection services.
