In T 1228/01 the appellant (applicant) inferred that the reference to a deposited phage in a claim, whose correct deposit was mentioned in the application as originally filed, was an implicit disclosure of a part of a nucleotide sequence contained in the phage, although the sequence was not disclosed per se. The board made reference to T 301/87 (OJ 1990, 335), in which it had been decided that if an entity itself was disclosed to the skilled person, this did not necessarily mean that a component part was also disclosed for the purpose of priority if this could not be envisaged directly and unambiguously as such and required considerable investigation to reveal its identity. The board in in T 1228/01 held that these findings were also applicable to amendments. It stated that the disclosure in the application as originally filed of the deposition of the recombinant bacteriophage Lgt11-P3 was not considered to be a basis within the requirements of Art. 123(2) EPC 1973 for the disclosure of a DNA sequence designated as "the P3 coding sequence" which was allegedly contained in that bacteriophage, but which as such was not disclosed in the application as originally filed. Thus, the requirements of Art. 123(2) EPC 1973 were not met.

Having the bright sun peer through your clean newly installed windows will make your home very warm and lovely. At the same time, if it is winter time, your heater does not have to be turned up so high because the cold can not get in.
On average if you are putting in a new window, it is going to cost between $400 to $900. It could cost more depending on the size and thickness of the glass. It could cost less depending on the repair. If you have a window that is divided into sections and the glass is no bigger than a 5 x 7 frame, it would only cost you about $6 to $10 just for that one piece. It adds up however when you have a whole section of glass that is not divided and needs to be put in. You can get a window installation indianapolis in. They are worth it though when you get ready to sell your home because it makes the overall value come up.
Having new windows installed has so many advantages and you can take these on to help your situation. You really should consider getting new windows put in if you want to save money and make a home stand out. You will love what a new window can do for you.

A Blueprint to End Paralysis Over Global Action on Climate
The international community should stop chasing the chimera of a binding treaty to limit CO2 emissions. Instead, it should pursue an approach that encourages countries to engage in a "race to the top" in low-carbon energy solutions.
By Timothy E. Wirth and Thomas A. Daschle • May 19, 2014
International deal-making fundamentally hinges on assessments of national self-interest by the parties involved. This seemingly obvious statement both explains the persistent failure of the global climate change negotiations and offers a pathway to success.
The 2009 Copenhagen climate conference demonstrated the difficulty of reaching an international treaty. PETER MACDIARMID/GETTY IMAGES
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change — agreed in Rio in 1992 and ratified by 195 countries, including the United States — was premised from its very first words on the idea that "change in the earth's climate and its adverse effects are a common concern of humankind." It sought to organize global action to address a threat to the global commons — the atmosphere and climate system on which all life on earth depends. Such global action, however, depends on national governments, whose first responsibility is to their own people and well-being. For that reason, the climate negotiations have faltered. Nations could not agree on who is to blame, on how to allocate emissions, or on projections for the future. Many have argued that emissions limits are inimical to their short-term economic interests. Some depend on fossil fuel production, and others perceive fossil fuel development as the only route out of extreme poverty, even as others have begun to pursue a more sustainable future.
Meanwhile, reports about climate change science are increasingly gloomy. Vast systemic change is more apparent every year, and the latest reports from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), as well as this month's National Climate Assessment in the U.S., bring even more bad news.
Fortunately, environmental transformation and technological change are not waiting for this paralysis of political agreement to end. Cleaner energy sources — renewable energy, especially wind and solar, as well as the least carbon-intensive fossil fuel, natural gas — are increasing their penetration of the world's energy markets, too slowly but with increasing momentum. Electronic sensors and controls are enabling better management of energy demand and more intelligent energy use — a catalytic change. Coal remains globally dominant, but without widespread deployment of carbon capture technologies, its days are probably numbered. Cleaner alternatives are advancing in part because of concerns about climate change, but more importantly because technological progress is making them more attractive, economically and politically.
This plan would change the psychology of climate change from one of burden to opportunity.
What once seemed a mirage is becoming a reality: The world can now glimpse the prospect of an economy largely dependent on abundant, inexhaustible, affordable clean energy. We are in the early stages of a global race to supply a set of new technologies and scalable systems — likely the largest economic opportunity of the 21st century.
These changes are becoming more clearly recognized and understood, but the current negotiating framework is not designed to encourage each nation to pursue them based on its own interests and national advantages. We think the time has come for the international community to alter its collective climate strategy, cease the search for the impossible all-encompassing top-down agreement — described unattractively as "burden sharing" — and instead encourage an approach that builds on national self-interest and spurs a "race to the top" in low-carbon energy solutions. This would change the psychology of the climate change issue from one of burden to opportunity, and change the likely outcome from one of hand-wringing about failure to excitement about tangible action to build a better world. This is the lens through which to view the prospects for a new climate agreement at international talks in Paris in 2015.
A new agreement should recognize that a simple one-formula-fits-all framework is not feasible: We don't know how to allocate emissions among nations, the global economy makes this impossible anyway, and the early differentiation between developed and developing economies is no longer valid. Instead, a new start is needed, based in part on what has been called "pledge and review": Nations will pledge concrete steps to reduce their carbon emissions and periodically submit their progress to the international community for review.
Rather than strive for an elusive, binding global treaty, the idea is to encourage countries to make strong national commitments in their own economic self-interest and then roll those up in the Paris agreement, which would not take the form of a treaty and thus would not need to be ratified. Countries would be motivated to take these actions in response to competition, both economic and political; international peer pressure; and the aspirations of their own people. The overarching goal is to spur national action to bend the carbon curve downward in a meaningful and measurable fashion, giving greater certainty to the private sector to innovate and invest in low-carbon technologies. This is the world's best option for accelerating progress and averting catastrophic climate change.
In the 17 years since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, very little movement has occurred. The U.S. Senate failed to ratify the treaty largely because of fears that emissions limits would unfairly harm certain sectors of the economy, and developed and developing countries have been at odds over historical responsibility for emissions. Globally, limits on emissions seemed to be limits on prosperity and growth, and the defenders of the status quo — powerful industry groups, concentrations of sovereign wealth, and ideological warriors — argued that climate activists were seeking to sabotage the modern industrial economy.
The shift to a low-carbon economy is occurring even without a legally binding global agreement.
Happily, technological progress is defusing that argument as the passage of time and the increased intensity of climate impacts make the need for concerted action ever more urgent. Public and private investment in research, development, and deployment of clean energy technologies is yielding results.
This shift to a low-carbon economy is occurring even without the Holy Grail of most climate negotiators — a new "legally binding" global agreement. Countries, states, cities, and companies are taking action, partly out of concern about climate change, but also because such action is in their own economic interest — either directly (through money-saving efficiency measures like LED street lights) or indirectly (by saving lives now cut short by air pollution). As the market for low-carbon technologies expands, they will improve further in performance and price and become even more competitive.
While the higher initial capital cost of clean energy technologies remains a hurdle, over time the lack of fuel costs for renewable energy (such as sunlight or wind) is the offsetting cost variable. The cost savings from energy efficiency similarly produce a predictable and attractive rate of return. Indeed, one recent survey found that investments in low-carbon solutions generate a positive return of 33 percent. On the other side of the equation, it has long been recognized that the price of fossil fuels does not reflect their many external costs, including air pollution, political and security risks, and damage from climate change.
China's recent history exemplifies both the historic tension between development and climate and a pathway to reconcile them. Coal fueled the country's remarkable economic growth but also produced unhealthy air and intolerable environmental damage. In response, China's leaders are engineering a serious shift toward wind and solar energy, greater energy efficiency, and development of shale gas, based on political and economic self-interest. This reversal may lead to greater alignment on climate policy among China, the United States, and the European Union and also influence other developing countries.
Through these examples and many others, a new path is emerging toward accelerated progress on climate change, based on a theme of opportunity as the shift to renewables and increased efficiency produces new businesses, more jobs, cleaner air and water, and better public health. The political reality is that countries increasingly will see that this path is in their own self-interest. They should be encouraged to compete for advantage in a race to the top, rather than bicker over emissions limits.
The Paris climate conference, scheduled for December 2015, is the setting for action on a new long-term global agreement. Central to success will be four principal elements.
The first is an affirmation of global objectives. Nations should reassert the world's commitment — first stated in the 1992 Framework Convention — to "prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system," as well as the agreement in the 2009 Copenhagen Accord to limit the increase in global temperatures to 2 degrees C. They should link this vision to specific and measurable national commitments that will signal a global turn from words to action and a new can-do attitude for addressing climate change.
The second is making those national commitments to emissions reductions. As an interim step, heads of state at the Climate Summit in September 2014 in New York City should discuss and affirm this new approach as the central direction for the Paris negotiators. They should be encouraged to outdo each other with new and stronger commitments to specific actions in each of the four "building block" areas agreed in the 2007 Bali Action Plan — mitigation, adaptation, technology, and finance. In that way, they can position themselves as investing in the emerging clean energy economy, as protecting their farmers and others who depend on a predictable climate, and as caretakers of future generations — consistent with their own national self-interest. By the time of the Paris conference in 2015, all countries should have clearly stated five-year commitments for 2020 and long-term goals — with reviewable interim milestones — for the period beyond 2020.
A coordinated global price on carbon should be considered after 2020 if progress is inadequate.
This building block strategy is building momentum. The United States has been advocating a bottom-up approach since Copenhagen, and at talks in Warsaw last November countries were invited to communicate their intended contributions to emissions reduction by the first quarter of 2015. The largest immediate impact will come from reducing powerful but relatively short-lived pollutants, like black carbon (especially soot from cooking fires), methane, and HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons, used in cooling equipment), and by stabilizing the world's forest cover. Such steps can be taken relatively inexpensively through partnerships that can include coalitions of companies as well as governments.
As a third element of the package, leaders in Paris must agree to a systemic review of their emissions reductions pledges. It is unlikely that the Paris commitments by themselves will immediately put the world on a trajectory consistent with the 2 degrees C target. For that reason, negotiators must set up a review process through which an international body like the IPCC would monitor progress and report back at three-year intervals. There is no appetite yet in the international community for a mechanism to force action by countries that offer weak pledges or none at all. Both carrots and sticks — participation in a global carbon trading system, for example, or the imposition of border tax penalties based on carbon pricing — are options that could be considered in the future. A coordinated global price on carbon — the most economically efficient path to reduce emissions — should be considered after 2020 if progress is deemed inadequate. Considerable political obstacles remain, but leading companies — from Google to ExxonMobil — are preparing for this eventuality by adopting internal carbon prices for use in making investment decisions.
Finance is the final key to a global deal. At Copenhagen in 2009, the United States memorably pledged that developed countries would mobilize $100 billion a year in climate change assistance for the rest of the world by 2020.
UN Panel Looks to Renewables as the Key to Stabilizing Climate
In its latest report, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change makes a strong case for a sharp increase in low-carbon energy production, especially solar and wind, and provides hope that this transformation can occur in time to hold off the worst impacts of global warming.
At a time of fiscal retrenchment in the West, the chance of that pledge being met in the form of additional development assistance is approximately zero. The pledge is eminently achievable, however, in the context of global energy investment, which has an annual flow a dozen times as large as the amount pledged in Copenhagen.
The capital needed for a global shift to low-carbon energy systems can be mobilized from highly liquid but risk-averse institutional investors, such as pension funds, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds, which have assets of more than $80 trillion. The way to attract these funds is to engage public finance entities as partners to reduce investment risk, particularly in developing countries, and ensure safe, predictable returns.
Whether driven by a price on carbon, a reduction in fossil fuel subsidies, or continuing technological innovation, national action and large-scale investment to transform the world's energy systems can initiate a more optimistic era of concrete progress on climate change. Combined with a compelling global vision, public-private collaboration, and a pledge to return to the negotiating table at regular intervals until success is achieved, this is a strong and forward-looking package that could be agreed in Paris in 2015. It would deliver what, more than anything else, the world needs — a decision to act, not just negotiate. It might even be led by the world's two largest emitters of CO2 — the United States and China. It is already consistent with the U.S. position, China appears ready to bring forward new commitments, and the two countries are actively collaborating on climate and energy in a number of ways.
Whether such steps will be enough to avert climate catastrophe remains unclear. Even if the major industrialized economies were able to reduce their emissions completely, the prognosis for the earth's atmosphere would still be grim if resource-rich developing countries do not change course. What Paris can do is help accelerate the pace of technological adoption and change, toward the day when the cleanest energy sources are also the cheapest and thus become dominant. The payoff will be improved public health and increased economic well-being. Most importantly, the global climate will be prevented from going off the rails.

IAF lifts post-Balakot temporary restrictions on Indian airspace
Soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his second term in office, temporary restrictions imposed on all air routes after the Balakot air strikes have now been lifted, the Indian Air Force said. "Temporary restrictions on all air routes in the Indian airspace, imposed by the Indian Air Force on 27 Feb 19, have been removed," the IAF tweeted.
The closure of the air space had mainly affected flights from Europe to Southeast Asia, as the foreign carriers operating on these routes had to suspend their operations or were forced to take costly detours because they could not fly over Pakistan. Additionally, the flights coming from the US and Europe to New Delhi were severely affected due to the closure of the air space.
Pakistan lying in the middle of a vital aviation corridor has further led to extended flight timings for passengers and additional fuel costs for airlines. After the IAF decision, foreign airlines may resume their original, shorter routes.
The restrictions were imposed as tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after Indian Air Force attacked a JeM terrorist training camp in Balakot of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan.
On May 12, Pakistan had extended the ban on India using its airspace for commercial flights till June 14. The country had fully closed its airspace after the Balakot airstrikes, which were carried out in response to the Pulwama terror attack.

Q: AngularJS: Move to next form input element after successful validation I have written a custom directive for validation of my form fields. When certain criteria are met (i.e. it is dirty and valid), I want to set the focus automatically to the next input element. This is a requirement from my users, such that they can move through the forms most efficiently.
The simplified directive looks like this:
directive('custom', ['$parse', function($parse) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        require: ['ngModel', '^ngController'],
        link: function(scope, element, attrs, ctrls) {
           var model=ctrls[0], form=ctrls[1];

           scope.next = function(){
                return model.$valid
            }

            scope.$watch(scope.next, function(newValue, oldValue){
                if (newValue && model.$dirty){
                    ???
                }
            })

Now my question is: how can I identify
- the next input element (which is the next sibling) or possibly via the tabindex
- and focus on it
without using Jquery?
For me, it is currently not clear, how to get to the next input element from the available "scope" or "element" attributes without Jquery; and JQlite does nothave a "focus" method. Basically, I need a working substitute for ??? in my code.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks
Juergen

A: You can use [0] to get the underlying input element (which has a focus() function) from the angular/jqLite object (which doesn't).
app.directive('custom', ['$parse', function($parse) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        require: ['ngModel'],
        link: function(scope, element, attrs, ctrls) {
           var model=ctrls[0], form=ctrls[1];

           scope.next = function(){
                return model.$valid;
            }

            scope.$watch(scope.next, function(newValue, oldValue){
                if (newValue && model.$dirty)
                {
                    var nextinput = element.next('input');
                    if (nextinput.length === 1)
                    {
                        nextinput[0].focus();
                    }
                }
            })
        }
    }
}])

http://jsfiddle.net/Y2XLA/

A: element.next().focus() might not work  if you have a complex form and input are nested into different divs.
I ended writing this directive (here I move the focus on Enter, but can be adapted to whatever event):
.directive('enterToTab', function($timeout) {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
    link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
      var procAttr = 'data-ett-processed';

      $timeout(function() { // Use $timeout to run the directive when the DOM is fully rendered
        var formElements = element[0].querySelectorAll('input:not([' + procAttr + '="true"]), select:not([' + procAttr + '="true"]), textarea:not([' + procAttr + '="true"])');

        // Run through all elements in form
        var formElementsLength = formElements.length;
        for (var i = 0; i < formElementsLength; i++) {          // Add tabindex attribute
          formElements[i].setAttribute('tabindex', i + 1);

          // Go to next element on Enter key press
          formElements[i].addEventListener('keypress', function(event) {
            if (event.keyCode === 13) { // Enter
              // Prevent Angular from validating all the fields and submitting
              if (event.target.tagName !== 'TEXTAREA') { // Not on textarea, otherwise not possible to add new line
                event.stopPropagation();
                event.preventDefault();
              }

              var nextIndex = parseInt(event.target.getAttribute('tabindex')) + 1;

              // Move focus to next element
              // TODO: find next visible element
              var nextElem = element[0].querySelector('[tabIndex="' + (nextIndex) + '"]');

              if (nextElem) {
                nextElem.focus();
              }
            }
          });
          formElements[i].setAttribute(procAttr, true); // Add attribute to prevent adding 2 listeners on same element
        }
      });
    }
  };
});

A: *

*Event should be in HTML component (keypress) = "keyFocus($event)"

*Method shoulb be like .ts file.
keyFocus(input1){
input1.srcElement.nextElementSibling.focus();
}

A: AngularJS already contains a light version of jQuery so you can as well use it...
http://docs.angularjs.org/api/angular.element
You could try something like this:

element.next().focus()

Q: PermissionOffer for Non-Registered User I have a use case where I would like to share a realm with a user that has not yet registered with Realm Object Server. The registered user would share a realm with a non-registered user by entering their email address. When the unregistered user registers using the app, they will be granted permission to the realm the first user owns.
How do PermissionOffers work if the user id doesn't yet exist? If the user id is an email address, can the PermissionOffer just hang until a user with the email address is created? What is the suggested workflow for handling something like this?

A: Permission offers are not bound to user Id. Instead, when you create a permission offer, a random token is generated that the first user sends via any medium (e.g. email/imessage) to the second user. The second user then accepts the offer by consuming the token and receives permissions to the Realm.

Writing style: the differences between academic and informal writing
Everyone knows that you should write your final papers differently than your Facebook posts, and your journal submissions should be written differently than newspaper columns. What exactly are the differences between informal and academic writing? Between formal and informal writing?
The biggest difference
The most important difference between informal writing and academic writing is style. That is, informal writing does not require you to adhere to any published style guide. Academic writing, or any formal writing for that matter, requires that you adhere to a style guide. Some schools and teachers will go so far as to specify which style guide to use.
What is a style guide?
A style guide is a manual or document that specifies a set of rules and standards, followed by the editors to facilitate clear communication. The EzineArticles.com guide is a web page that indicates how to write articles to be included in the EzineArticles directory, for example. Each school and corporation can have its own personalized style guide.
However, there are main style guides.
1. The Chicago Manual of Style it was one of the first style guides published in the United States. Currently (as of 2010) in its 16th edition, this style guide was first published in 1906. People often refer to "Chicago style", but people also refer to it as CMS or CMOS.
2. The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association It is in its sixth edition (as of 2010). This style guide was developed to make it easier for teachers and students to read articles, increasing understanding. The APA style requires only two fonts in a document, and the body of the document must be written in 12-point Times New Roman. In some places, underlining, bold, and italics are allowed.
3. The elements of style It was written to help people write clearly. While the book has its critics, it is one of the shortest style guides.
4. The MLA Manual of Style, Third Edition, is the Modern Language Association's style guide. First published in 1985, this manual is used by many universities, colleges, and students.
5. Microsoft wrote The Style Manual for Technical Publication, and this document is used for internal and external Microsoft documentation.
Common style guide conventions vs. informal writing
Generally, it's okay to use contractions (as if they were) in informal writing. Academic writing requires writing both words.
If you are writing informally to a group of people in the same field, you may use technical terms frequently and never explain them. If you are writing to a group of people who have nothing to do with your industry, try cutting out technical words entirely. If you are writing academically, you must explain the term the first time you use it.
Active passive
This is no different between informal and academic writing. Most of the time, active prayers are better. Both the APA and the Chicago style guides agree with this.
Grammatical person
The grammatical person is the point of view, or you may have heard it expressed as first person, second person, third person, and fourth person. The first person perspective contains many "I" or "we" statements such as "I fed the dog." The first person is the perspective of the writer. The second person is you, the person the writer is writing to. The third person is associated with pronouns like he, she, that, and them. The third person is not me (the writer) nor you (the reader). Sometimes academics use fourth person sentences like, "One should always behave when in public."
Informal and casual writing uses the point of view of the first, second, and third person, as appropriate. While scholars often write in the fourth person, I have yet to find a basis for that writing style in style guides. Style guides make it easy to write clear and fourth person, single statements are anything but clear.
The grammatical person needed for a sentence often depends on whether the sentence is active or passive.
Academic writing requires citations. If it says "X is true", you must cite where you found that statement. If you created that statement, your words should show it clearly.
Sentence length
Informal writing tends to have short sentences. (Bad informal writing has extended sentences.) Formal and academic writing uses longer sentences. But be careful. The goal of any writing is to convey a point, and if your sentence is too long, it will defeat that purpose.
Colloquial expressions and cliches
While "awesome", "da bomb", "bees' knees", "kids", "nose to grindstone" and "friend" permeate Facebook, these words and phrases are not used in academic writing.
All your friends may know what LOL (and in the case of the ferret community, DOL), but whenever you use an abbreviation in an academic article, you must first type it and connect it to the abbreviation so that people will know what you are. talking about.

DC vs KKR Today Match Prediction, IPL 2019, Match 10: Who will win?
IPL 2019, Match 10, DC vs KKR Today Match Prediction: Who will win?
An astounding victory against the Kings XI Punjab would have elevated the spirits of the Kolkata Knight Riders as they take on the likes of Iyer & Co. in the national capital region. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, would be coming after a 6-wicket defeat at the hands of the Chennai Super Kings and would be craving to draw the first blood in the upcoming feud. On that note, let's have a look at DC vs KKR Today Match Prediction featuring the Head to Heads, Squad Details, Venue Scoring Pattern, Team News and Probable XI for the forthcoming contest scheduled to be played on March 30 at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi.
Joe Denly, Shrikant Mundhe, Harry Gurney, Carlos Brathwaite, Sandeep Warrior, Rinky Singh, KC Cariappa, Nikhil Naik, Yarra Prithviraj, Shubman Gill, Lockie Ferguson, Prasidh Krishna, Nitish Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Chris Lynn, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Robin Uthappa, Piyush Chawla, Dinesh Karthik (c and wk).
Prithvi Shaw, Keemo Paul, Rishabh Pant (wk), Rahul Tewatia, Kagiso Rabada, Shreyas Iyer (c), Axar Patel, Colin Ingram, Amit Mishra, Shikhar Dhawan, Ishant Sharma, Sherfane Rutherford, Manjot Kalra, Sandeep Lamichhane, Nathu Singh, Avesh Khan, Ankush Bains, Bandaru Ayyappa, Hanuma Vihari, Chris Morris, Harshal Patel, Trent Boult, Colin Munro, Jalaj Saxena.
Andre Russell, Robin Uthappa, and Nitish Rana managed to score 48, 67 and 63 respectively in the lately played game against KXIP and would be expected to put up similar performances in the much-coveted duel against the DC at their home turf.
The spin trio of Kuldeep Yadav, Piyush Chawla, and Sunil Narine would hold the key for KKR if they are to bag a triumph in the coming feud. Along with the aforementioned, the pace duo of Lockie Ferguson and Prasidh Krishna would have to be backed up a little for KKR to restrict the Delhi Capitals to a paltry total.

Delhi Capitals would be heavily banking onto the trio of Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan to put up a majestic total on the scoreboard.
In case the aforementioned trio falters in carrying out the assigned duties, the pressure of ensuring the same would fall onto the shoulders of skipper Shreyas Iyer and Colin Ingram who'd be wishing to belt in some crucial numbers in the forthcoming feud.
Although Kagiso Rabada and Keemo Paul rendered economic spells in the game against CSK, it was Amit Mishra whose spin prowess managed to send two well-set batsmen back to the pavilion end.
Ishant Sharma and Axar Patel had laid impressionable performances as well in the game against CSK and would be hoping to replicate a similar show in the game against Karthik's men.

Russian literature professor awarded essay prize
By Bates News. Published on April 1, 1998
Jane Costlow, associate professor of Russian at Bates College, has won the 1997 Heldt Prize for best essay in Slavic women's studies. The award is given annually by the Association of Women in Slavic Studies. Costlow's essay, The Gallop, the Wolf, the Caress: Eros and Nature in 'The Tragic Menagerie', explores Lydia Zinovieava-Annibal's 1907 autobiographical novel, an account of childhood in Russia just before the revolution. The author was a turn-of-the-century writer married to the famous poet Ivanov.
According to Costlow, the book, just republished in Russia, is one of the great forgotten works of pre-revolutionary Russia, the story of a young girl between the ages of eight and 14 as she "comes to an awareness of herself and the world around her," Costlow said.
Costlow also has translated the novel into English, to be published in 1998 by Northwestern University Press. She decided to translate the work after using a few chapters in a Russian literature class at Bates, where themes of girlhood and environmental issues resonated with students. A member of the Bates faculty since 1986, Costlow graduated from Duke University and received master's and doctoral degrees from Yale University. She lives with her family in Auburn.

'I tried table tennis for the first time at Center Parcs. Now I'm a national champion'
A star was born at Sherwood Forest four years ago as a then 8-year-old Charlotte Bardsley tried table tennis for the first time. Little did her parents know, as she batted away in the Jardin des Sports, that a new experience would turn into an award-winning passion.
Charlotte clinches the title
Charlotte and her brother play in their Lodge at Center Parcs, 2010
Charlotte's dad, Richard, from South Stafforshire, got in touch with us to share the fantastic news. "In June 2010, we had a really great short break at Center Parcs at Sherwood Forest," he says. "We played lots of different sports with our children. Squash, badminton and table tennis. Our daughter Charlotte was 8-years-old and seemed to enjoy her very first experiences of table tennis. So much so, the kids ended up playing back at the lodge on the dining table (sorry!)"
"Maybe if I hadn't had that initial chance a Center Parcs, I would not have been so interested or confident to join my local table tennis club." – Charlotte Bardsley
But it wasn't until two years later that Charlotte's skill really came into play. "As we didn't have a table at home, Charlotte didn't get chance to play again until January 2013, when she joined the Woodfield Table Tennis Club," says Richard.
And it seems she's never looked back, as in June this year – almost four years after her interest was piqued at Center Parcs – Charlotte won the England National under 12 competition. She will now go on to represent the country at the European Championships in France later this month.
Something clicked
As the sporting starlet prepares for her debut on the European stage – which involves training 15 hours a week – she tells us how without the opportunity presented by Center Parcs, she may not be where she is today. "Table tennis is easy to understand: you just have to keep the ball on the table as long as you can. Something must have clicked about the sport, as each time I would see a table during our break I would want to have a game with my brother.
"Having that first opportunity to have a taste of a sport is really important. This gave me the confidence that I could do it. So when a few years later, a teacher asked if I wanted to play at school, I immediately said yes as I knew what the game was about and how much fun you could have," she says.
"Maybe if I hadn't had that initial chance a Center Parcs, I would not have been so interested or confident to play at school and then join my local table tennis club."
A short break at Center Parcs is a great way for families to try something new. And Charlotte is certainly an advocate: "What I liked about our break was that we could very easily try lots of different sports. Because you are with your family and everything you need is there, it encourages you to do something together. I would recommend it as an easy and fun way to try something new."
We wish Charlotte the best of luck at the European Championships later this month.

Als Skalarprozessoren bezeichnet man eine Architekturklasse der Mikroprozessoren. Ein Skalarprozessor verarbeitet eine Information (z. B. eine ganze Zahl, eine Gleitkommazahl oder einen Opcode) pro Taktzyklus. Dies wird meist durch eine Pipeline-Architektur ermöglicht.

Skalare Prozessorarchitekturen sind klassischen überlegen, welche die Befehle sequentiell ausführen. Für skalare Prozessorarchitekturen sind hinreichend einfache Befehlssätze notwendig, etwa RISC, damit die Befehle, von Ausnahmen abgesehen, innerhalb eines Taktzyklus abgearbeitet werden können (im Gegensatz zu CISC-Befehlssätzen, deren Befehle unterschiedliche Ausführungszeiten besitzen).

Ist eine Architektur fähig, pro Takt mehr als einen Befehl zu beenden, so nennt man sie superskalar.

I will be having a conversation with Liz Way from the Museum at FIT about the Harlem Renaissance and fashion. Join us on March 24th at the Harlem School of the Arts!
Harlem during the Jazz Age was renown for the style of its denizens. The twenties was a time of radical transformation for clothing, and Harlem was at the cutting edge of new trends, influencing mainstream fashion and culture in unprecedented ways. This conversation will examine what people wore during the Harlem Renaissance and beyond, from flapper dresses to Zoot suits. The style of fashionable Harlemites has had a lasting influence on fashion and is still felt today.

Lá vem a baiana
The Portuguese term baiana translates as 'woman from the state of Bahia', and refers to Afro-descendent women street vendors in Salvador de Bahia. Beginning in the 1920s, the black or mulata body in motion, as represented by the baiana, was officially elevated as a symbol of the modern, mestiça Brazilian corporality. This presentation explores the shifts in representations of the baiana archetype to an emblem of Brazilian national identity. I track the baiana across geographic spaces, performed on stage by various black women performers including Brazilian soprano Elsie Houston, Josephine Baker and Katherine Dunham.

Dark Beauty, Bright Ambition: Navigating Black Stardom in Jazz Age NY/LON
This presentation is an exploration of the lives and careers of black women performers for whom London was the key point of anchor, besides Harlem, as they pursued their professional goals during the interwar period. With a thriving bohemian scene and ever-growing audience clamoring for jazz, the British entertainment industry provided plentiful opportunities for black performers. Florence Mills, Elisabeth Welch, Nina Mae McKinney and Edna Thomas will be amongst those discussed. Less studied than the New York-Paris axis, the NY/LON networks offer rich insights for those interested in this important moment in modernist and black cultural histories.
Dr. Camara Dia Holloway is an independent scholar whose research is focused on issues of race and representation between the Two World Wars. Her talk is drawn from ongoing research examining the interwar connections between Harlem and London entitled "Harlem on Thames." Dr. Holloway earned her PhD from the Department of History of Art at Yale University. She is the founding co-director of the Association for Critical Race Art History (ACRAH).

Finding Ady: Recovering the Story of a Black Surrealist Muse
Adrienne 'Ady' Fidelin (1915-2004) was a Guadeloupean dancer and model who became muse to a core group of avant-garde artists in Paris, and the first Black model to appear in a major American fashion magazine. Fidelin is captured in hundreds of works by the celebrated American artist Man Ray, produced between 1936 and 1940 when the two were lovers. She was also the subject of work by Pablo Picasso, Lee Miller and Roland Penrose, yet there have been only scant and often erroneous references to her in literature on the period. This talk chronicles the decade-long, transatlantic effort to discover who Fidelin was, and what happened to her before and after those few, well-documented years with Man Ray. It asks why Fidelin "disappeared" in the first place, and how the tendency to marginalize black women's stories played a part.
Sala Elise Patterson is a writer and researcher of overlooked stories of the African Diaspora. A former magazine editor, she has written for The Atlantic's CityLab, New Internationalist, Ford Foundation Report, and T: The New York Times Style Magazine, where she brought Adrienne Fidelin's story to the American mainstream in 2007 with the article, "Yo, Adrienne." Patterson co-authored the bibliographic entry on Fidelin in the Oxford Dictionary of Caribbean and Afro-Latin American Biographies, and an essay on her in the forthcoming Musée D'Orsay exhibition catalogue for The Black Model: From Géricault to Matisse. She holds a BA from Columbia University in African-American Literature and an MSc in Development Studies from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.

TEASER: CAA2019 Afrochic presentation
If you are planning on attending CAA2019, I will be presenting the paper, "Afrochic: Race and the Emergence of American Fashion," on the following panel:
Race in the History of Design: Objects, Identity, Methodologies | Design Studies Forum (formerly Design Forum: History, Criticism and Theory) | New York Hilton Midtown – 2nd Floor – Regent | February 15, 2019 | 6:00 – 7:30 pm
Since I had to leave some material on the cutting room floor, I thought I would share it here. My talk will be focused on the 1923 Primitive Negro Art exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum of Art but during the course of my research I came across this earlier example of African cultural appropriation related to the following garment purchased by the American Museum of Natural History in 1917:
The garment is identified as a "Hausa man's robe" from Nigeria. It was one of many "documents" from around the world that fashion designers were encouraged to draw inspiration from when formulating modern American designs.
It was placed in the center of the one of the displays at the Exhibition of Industrial Arts held at AMNH in 1919. This exhibition was a showcase for how a unique American design aesthetic could be generated by gleaning from the global array of history and culture contained in museums.
In the detail above you can see the garment as well as the textile that it inspired directly below it.
Another textile designer came up with a more abstracted all-over pattern for a cretonne fabric based on the garment in 1918.
The fashion designer Jessie Franklin Turner decided to reinterpret the garment as a caftan-style negligee in 1918. It was made of wisteria velvet with wool embroidery in coordinating colors.
I have also found this 1920s scarf in the Brooklyn Museum of Art Costume Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that bears a pattern reminiscent of the garment's embroidery.
For some reason, a number of designers found this one particular garment of African origin especially fascinating and it sparked their creativity as they mined the globe in an effort to develop a new American design language.
This garment was so noteworthy that more than two decades later, Jessie Franklin Turner based another dress upon it for a 1940 exhibition for the Museum of Costume Art (precursor to the MET's Costume Institute) that once again intended to highlight how global cultures could inspire American design.
If this tangent whets your curiosity come see my talk on February 15th! The whole panel promises to be really interesting. Hope to see you there!

Teaser: Afrochic
I haven't posted in a while and recently when I have shown my face I invariably get asked what I have been up to so here is a little a taste of the research that I will be presenting at a CAA2019 talk titled, "Afrochic: Race and the Emergence of American Fashion."
Above are some of the reading materials that I have been delving into and here is the abstract for my talk:
This paper considers the role of race in the formation of modern fashion design. Early in twentieth century, Women's Wear editor, M. D. C. Crawford, and the Brooklyn Museum's Curator of Ethnology, Stewart Culin, forged a productive alliance between the museum and fashion worlds to foster the development of American design. Simultaneously, colonial enterprises delivered increased information about Africa to Western audiences and its raw materials to the marketplace. As the fashion industry sought to contribute to the national effort to modernize lifestyle and taste, it capitalized on the precedent of the primitivist vogue that had sparked a fundamental reinvention of art and culture amongst the avant-garde. When Culin organized the exhibition Primitive Negro Art, Chiefly from the Belgian Congo in 1923, it showcased not just the aesthetic merits of African expressive culture but its suitability as inspiration for modern fashion. The garment prototypes designed to accompany the show and the promotional rhetoric orchestrated by Crawford reveal that in addition to the appropriation of African design principles and styles, entrenched cultural myths about Africa and racial beliefs profoundly affected emergent fashion trends. Through the lens of fashion, where many would least expect it, this paper demonstrates that race played a significant role in the nation's modernization at the beginning of the twentieth century. Reinventing American identity, aesthetics and mode of dress didn't entail abandoning the nation's traditional recourse to race. Arguably the triumph of the American Century hinged upon an Africanist presence lending its currency to the culture industry.
I will leave you with a sample image that will feature in the presentation demonstrating how Kuba textiles were looked to for inspiration for modern American fashion.

Clearing operations of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) continued in Nahr-e-Saraj district.
In Kandahar province, the security situation remained tense mainly in Zheray, Panjwayi and Arghandab districts. While ongoing clashes have not resulted in new displacement, airstrikes, shelling and IEDs continue to impact the safety and movements of civilians across the province. Since 2 January, a health centre was closed due to ongoing fighting in Panjwayi district depriving more than 10,000 people of access to basic health services.
A health centre in Zabul was reopened on 31 December following negotiations to resume services which facilitated access to health services for some 25,000 people in the district.
In Uruzgan province, sporadic hostilities were reported in Tirinkot, Gizab and Dehrawud districts with ongoing clashes between ANSF and an NSAG. New displacement is predicted in Dehrawud district as the fighting intensifies.
During the reporting period, interagency assessment teams identified 700 people displaced by conflict to receive humanitarian assistance in Hilmand and Kandahar provinces.
