Trying to assess a presidency so quickly is crazy.
The Trump White House is treating April 29 as if an asteroid were headed straight to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
It "hangs over the West Wing like the sword of Damocles as the unofficial deadline to find their footing—or else," according to a fascinating story this week by POLITICO's Shane Goldmacher.
Really? What happens if, in the next 18 days or so, Obamacare isn't repealed, the new travel ban isn't upheld and investigators don't discover that President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower? Do impeachment proceedings start? Do prominent Republicans launch primary challenges to Trump's renomination?
Well, maybe you can't blame the White House for panicking; what they really are responding to is the massive media exercise in premature evaluation that has become as inevitable as it is asinine. Take two steps back from the ritual, and it's clear that making any solid judgment about a new president based on the first 14 weeks is like … well, you choose the metaphor; predicting a basketball game's outcome three minutes in? Calling a presidential election 18 months out?
What followed was the rapid enactment of 15 laws that changed the scope of the federal government; from tighter supervision of the banking system to a program that saved American farmers from disaster to public works programs that put thousands of the unemployed to work.
The obvious point, though not obvious enough to mute the "100 Days" frenzy, is that events will often alter the core assumptions of a president. Kennedy came to office with speeches that bristled with Cold War assumptions about the domino theory and the need for America to design new tools to take the offensive in guerrilla warfare. After coming perilously close to nuclear annihilation during the Cuban Missile Crisis, his premises changed radically. By the time of his assassination, he was embarked on an effort to tamp down the Cold War and find common ground with the Soviet Union. Compare his American University speech of June 1963 with his 1960 campaign rhetoric, and it's hard to believe it's the same man talking.
George W. Bush came to office calling for "humility" in foreign policy, and warning against the overreach of nation-building. In the wake of the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, Bush migrated to a policy that promised a wholesale flowering of democracy throughout the Middle East; by his 2005 Inaugural, he was proclaiming that "it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world"—a policy that outdid Woodrow Wilson in its promise and that proved just as illusory as Wilson's had been almost a century earlier.
The list of the utterly unpredictable is stunning. Did Nixon's first 100 days offer a clue that he would be toasting the health of Mao Zedong in Beijing a few years later? That Ronald Reagan would be strolling through America with the leader of the Soviet Union? That Barack Obama, who led his party to a smashing triumph in 2008, would preside over the implosion of the party at every level over the next eight years?
When you add to this mix the fact that our current president is thoroughly, breathtakingly clueless about what policies (as opposed to impulses) he possesses, the idea that we should divine his intentions by what he has so far said or tweeted is a fool's errand.
I admit that, should the president send nuclear missiles to Pyongyang or announce that he will replace Obamacare with "Medicare for All," these first 100 days will have told us something genuinely significant.


My first ever thank-you letter as a doctor came when I was an intern. It wasn't for an arm I plastered, or a pneumonia that cleared up with antibiotics, or because I was the pinnacle of kind, wise and caring doctor. It came from the local police station.
A few weeks into internship, I was doing emergency medicine and freaking out on a daily basis. I will remember this day forever, if only because there was two patients in the waiting room! One was a straightforward followup case who just needed checking over, the other came up as 'alleged assault'. I'd never come across it in medical school. We had minimal domestic violence training. I baulked at the list and went to click on the other, easier patient but the resident on with me beat me to it. The 'alleged assault' patient was mine.
For the next 3 hours (hey, I'd only been an intern for 3 weeks and I'd never been in this situation!) I learned about this woman* who had suffered years of abuse and threats. She had stayed with this man to protect her children because he'd threatened to kill them if she ever left. The kids had become teenagers and had convinced her to leave and that they would be okay. They'd all turned their phones off. They'd all told their relatives to turn their phones off. Instead of sitting on their dark secret any longer, they'd involved everyone. And everyone got on board.
The woman was tiny, and shrunken in her chair. She couldn't look at me. She answered everything in short sentences or single words, her kids prodding her to tell me more. She was covered in bruises. I had no idea what I was doing. I went to my boss whose one piece of advice was "X-ray EVERYTHING" (meaning everywhere that was injured). So I did. I x-rayed every injury. I asked her how every single one happened. I asked her about every time she could remember him being violent. All the threats. I dutifully wrote it all down. I photographed every bruise.
When you're an intern that doesn't what they're doing, it goes one of two ways. Either you gloss over it and hand it to your boss, or you overthink it, and spend WAY too long going into detail that most of the time isn't relevant, until your boss comes and fishes you out from the deep. My boss didn't in this case, I think because he got it.
The nurses called the police and they showed up. They came to me and asked me to complete an official statement. I was mortified. I'd only been a doctor for 3 weeks and told them so. They said it didn't matter, I had the qualification, so I was qualified. So I told them everything she and her kids had told me. I printed out all my notes. All the x-ray reports. The pictures of the x-rays. I asked the policewoman how she does her job every day. She told me that because sometimes, she got to put the bad guys away and that made it worth it.
3 hours later the lady left. The kids were taking her to a family friends house, hours away, all of their phones still switched off. A team effort to give this lady an exit into the life she had always deserved.
And I forgot all about it. I stopped taking hours on my patients. I saw patients with broken arms and pneumonias and strange surgical problems and women in labour and elderly patients struggling at home and kids with ear infections.
A few months later a letter appeared at work for me. From the local police station. In it, on police stationary was "Dear Doctor G, on behalf of local police station, we'd like to thank you for your extensive documentation of Mrs ***'s injuries and histories. Due to your large contribution to the case, the perpetrator was convicted and received a long jail sentence. Regards, Constable ***".
It wasn't the thankyou letter I'd ever imagined receiving as a doctor. I always thought it would be some eloquent and flowery prose on what a wonderful impact I'd made on healing and helping Mrs' So and So from her pneumonia. And at the time I didn't know how I felt about it. Tonight I'm watching the ABC documentary, Hitting Home, with years of experience under my belt, and wondering how that lady is going, and realising the impact of taking someone's story seriously.
Until the last couple of years, people haven't taken domestic violence seriously. They've shied away from it, minimised it, pretended it wasn't that bad. Distanced themselves, blamed the victim for 'not leaving', blamed the victim for 'provoking' their partner. Or failed to recognise that violence isn't always physical, that abusive and controlling behaviour was somehow normal for 'that relationship' where 'they always fight'.
Women don't leave these situations because their lives and their kids lives are at risk. Women get into these relationships with this men because they usually are pretty nice guys to begin with who then begin years of slowly and insidiously escalating their level of control and planned destruction of self-esteem. The fact that people are still asking why they don't leave defies belief, especially when they're not asking why the man is violent.
The biggest thing I've learned about domestic violence in the last few years, is that it's not always physical. It's emotional. It's financial. It's sexual. It's stalking. There's a very good breakdown of what constitutes abuse here. And the more we recognise it, recognise that it's wrong, that as Rosie Batty so rightly put it, recognise that we should be outraged that our fellow humans should be treated with such disrespect, the more awareness that we raise, the harder we can come down on it. I like to think about the one-punch can kill campaign as an example. Because of the level of awareness raised about that, the legal system can now argue that given the level of awareness, people who knowingly coward-punch another person now gets much heavier sentences.
We need to achieve this for domestic violence. We need to talk about it. And we need to end it.

In 2005 I had a soloshow at Textilia, a Gallery for Contemporary Textile Art run by Anita Eneroth in Gothenburg, Sweden. For years I had been working with Selfportraits and now I wanted to take it one step further and explore selfportraits in relation to another person. I saw a Relationship as Movement. You can move together, move apart, simultanously, out of time, etcetera. This was my starting point.
I ended up with ten Selfportraits with Lover (50 x 50cm). While working I studied the lines and expressions of my own face, and that of my loved one. The title of the picture above is Great Expectations.
When hanging the exhibition I suddenly realised I had used emotions from my own life, not those that I am aware of but those that stir beneath the surface. I stood there and looked at my life on the walls of the Gallery. I forgot to take photos.
At the Vernissage I realised that other people see themselves. They gave me many stories from their lives that day.

From messages to conversations: How food marketing has evolved
As consumer behavior and technology have changed, so have the messages that brands deliver to shoppers
Megan Poinski @meganpoinski
A generation ago, food marketers would say their job was all about connecting with the consumer.
Marketers in the industry today would say the same thing, but the targets, methods and messages are completely different.
"I think we've seen more change over the past 10 years than probably in the last 20 before that, most of it having to do with generational changes and the things resonating with consumers today," Mark Cotter, CEO of marketing firm The Food Group, told Food Dive. "It's in terms of sustainability, in terms of sourcing where products come from, in terms of what's inside products, and ingredients too. The general interest in 'what I put in my body' is far more of a question than it's ever been before."
Marketing reflects consumer behavior. Brands try to catch their consumers where they already are with the information they want to find. And the advent of the internet has caused a sea change in how marketing is done, according to Darrin Duber-Smith, a senior lecturer at Metropolitan State University of Denver with decades of experience of marketing in the green, natural and organic space.
Today's consumers thrive on transparency, he told Food Dive. Brands that want to stay relevant are presenting more information through their marketing.
"Today, people really want to feel part of their food choices, they want to feel more knowledgeable about what they're buying, so brands have to be transparent."
Peggy O'Shea-Kochenbach
Marketing communications consultant
"Transparency has been a big issue," he said. "…The idea of cleaner is better, greener is better. It's been overdone a lot, but that's because it's so much in the zeitgeist. It's so much in the culture."
As the internet has become more ubiquitous in consumers' everyday lives, food marketing has made a big shift. Consumers today have a wealth of information at their fingertips, and can easily do in-depth research on what is in a product or how it is made. People are interested not only in what they're eating, but the background on the company that manufactured it, how the plants and animals that went into it were raised, and the story of the food product and its founders.
Meanwhile, marketing communications — not just for food — have become much more conversational through social media, according to Peggy O'Shea-Kochenbach, a registered dietitian and marketing communications consultant.
"It's not so much a one-way transfer of information," she told Food Dive. "…Ten years ago, it was really about brands conveying what they wanted to convey to consumers, who consumed that message. And today, people really want to feel part of their food choices, they want to feel more knowledgeable about what they're buying, so brands have to be transparent."
Food marketing has long been aimed at the moms of the world, traditionally the gatekeepers of household spending on food. Even today, when gender and household roles are often democratized, moms control 85% of purchases for food, cleaning and health products, Maria Bailey, CEO of BSM Media, which focuses on marketing to mothers, told Food Dive. The millennial mom, she said, sees herself as the COO of the household: taking the lead on planning and ideas, but maybe not doing all of the shopping, cooking and cleaning herself.
That shift has also changed marketing.
"The way you marketed to a boomer is it was fast, it was quick, it was easy. She wanted to do it all," Bailey said. "When you market to a millennial, it's all about the functionality of that food: Can that food bring the family to the table? Can that food be used in a lot of different ways?"
A generation ago
About 30 years ago, marketers worked to create products that targeted specific groups, according to The Food Group's Cotter. Brands found their audience — like young adults — and worked on a message to get to them. They didn't care so much about platform — whether the message would go on television, print or radio. Brands also worked on in-store positioning, hoping to create the impulse to buy a product.
"It was more about what interests them as humans and how can we connect with them to make this product either desirable, crave-able, or deliver on an experience that will last them a lifetime," he said.
"[Marketing 30 years ago] was more about what interests them as humans and how can we connect with them to make this product either desirable, crave-able, or deliver on an experience that will last them a lifetime."
Mark Cotter
CEO, The Food Group
Those "lifetime" experiences were harnessed by popular CPG brands aiming to target messages about products to consumers through all the stages of their lives. A generation ago, a commercial for cookies targeted at children would get their attention. The same brand could then return 20 years later with a nostalgic advertisement, harkening back to the consumer's youth.
Messages to moms were fundamentally different as well, according to BSM Media's Bailey. Baby boomers attempted to be "supermoms" and do everything — work, take care of their kids and run the household. Advertising targeting those moms focused on the process of meal preparation. Decades ago, a mom-centric advertisement might strike a contrast between a woman working hard in the kitchen, wearing an apron and elbow-deep in flour — and the woman who uses a CPG product to more quickly and easily get the same result.
Baby boomer moms placed a lot of trust in others to make decisions, Bailey said. These women didn't have a lot of spare time to research brands, so they left some of those decisions to others. If a baby boomer mom saw her child drinking a certain brand of apple juice at daycare, for example, she would be likely to keep buying that brand for her child.
"It eliminated the time of research and decision-making that she had to invest, and she trusted it," Bailey said.
When the baby boomer's daughter became a mom, she drew on some of her childhood experiences, Bailey added. Half of the moms in Generation X grew up to divorced parents in separate households. Many of them were "latchkey kids" who went home from school to empty houses while their parents worked. People in Generation X are used to doing things themselves, including their own research. Messages to Generation X moms focus on giving them something convenient that they can make independent decisions about. These moms grew up with convenient items like toaster pastries and Lunchables, Bailey said, and so they are likely to want the same thing for their children.

With more technology and knowledge, information became more free and marketing content and messaging began to shift. Access to more information also had a major impact on the food industry as a whole.
This movement can trace its roots back to the protest culture of the 1960s, Duber-Smith said. As awareness grew around more things — ranging from U.S. military actions to foreign affairs to civil rights to the environment — people started to take an interest in the smaller things that were more important to them, such as what was in the food they were putting into their bodies.
"All of this sprung from the idea that consumers started wanting things that were closer to nature, and further away from 'Better Living Through Chemistry,' which was DuPont's slogan," Duber-Smith said.
Technology — and the opportunities that came with it — grew with the times. Cone Communications' O'Shea-Kochenbach, who used to work with major manufacturers on their PR, spent a lot of time trying to get brands and products "earned media" — getting news stories featuring products placed in media outlets.
"It's all backed by access consumers have to knowledge. They are their own researchers, they are their own formulators of data."
CEO of The Food Group
In the 1990s, she saw a shift in the way people looked at food. The Food Network, a cable channel founded in 1993, was filling the airwaves with programs about cooking, food manufacturing and eating. Suddenly, O'Shea-Kochenbach said, people were more interested in food in general.
A few years later, she recalls doing chef demonstrations with a produce company. For those demonstrations, the chef wrote recipes that were shared with the media — an early form of content development, which lies at the heart of many digital marketing strategies today.
"It was the first time we looked at it as content development, not just product placement," she said.
When social media came on the scene a few years later, it became central — not just in the lives of consumers, but to brands who wanted to communicate directly with their customers.
Marketing strategies are now premised on the assumption that consumers will be able to easily do their homework on products, according to The Food Group's Cotter.
"It's all backed by access consumers have to knowledge," he said. "They are their own researchers, they are their own formulators of data."
Social media gives brands the opportunity to make marketing a two-way conversation, O'Shea-Kochenbach said.
"It really allows brands, food products and consumers to have an ongoing dialogue," she said. "Consumers don't just buy on brand name anymore. They buy on brand attributes. …Through social media they can develop a relationship with a food brand or a farm or an entity that allows them to feel connected."

Transparency is key
Manufacturers are premising a lot of their marketing messages on the story of their brands. Some brands tell the story of a proud history. Some tell the story of devotion to quality ingredients. Some tell the story of what they are doing for the environment. And some tell stories of hard work and community pride.
About 10 years ago, marketers and large manufacturers worked together to change the stories that products told through their ingredients and nutrition labels, Cotter said. He described it as a "stealth health movement." It wasn't promoted, he said — it was just done.
"What the modern marketer would uncover is there was no real rationalization as to why all of those things were in it," he said. "You take white bread, some basic basic things, and you have 800 things in there. And you're like, 'Really? How about four ingredients and a preservative?' … A lot of those things were uncovered where leadership and marketing started challenging production of products."
"Through social media they can develop a relationship with a food brand or a farm or an entity that allows them to feel connected."
registered dietitian and vice president of Cone Communications
Around that time, Cotter started a division of his company to read food labels and work with manufacturers on cleaning them up — even before anything becomes problematic.
Transparency and the stories behind brands are vital to food marketing today — especially for big CPG companies, said O'Shea-Kochenbach.
"I think there's more of a skepticism now of 'big food,'" she said, "and I think those big CPG companies have a bigger hurdle in front of them, in many ways because there are smaller players out there that are doing a great job at sharing their stories — which makes an emotional connection with the consumer, and people really want to feel connected to their food."

HTML5 ARTICLE
Ludei and Nickelodeon Turn To HTML5 For Nick App for Android
By Steve Anderson , Contributing TMCnet Writer
Don't call it a comeback, because it was never really gone, but HTML5 in gaming has been flagging just a bit, at least, until a recent development to come out of the app developer Ludei. Ludei brought out the word that its CocoonJS technology would play a hand in bringing HTML5 gaming features to the Nick App for Android (News – Alert), a platform that itself comes with plenty in the way of gaming.
The Nick App has already made quite a name for itself, having recently taken home an Emmy Award for its various capabilities, but reports suggest that Nickelodeon is not content to just be an Emmy Award winner. No, the reports indicate that Nickelodeon is hoping for some major improvements in terms of game performance, and Nickelodeon is looking to HTML5 to get said improvements.
Nickelodeon is scarcely alone on this front, as reports suggest that over 600 games to date have been published with the backing of CocoonJS, and recent word from the developer of "Hamster Hunter," Andrey Kovalishin, noted that that it was "…a no-brainer to dip your toes into HTML5 development." Though likely still ringing in the ears of everyone who would use HTML5 are Mark Zuckerberg's telling words from August 2012, which referred to HTML5 development as Facebook (News – Alert)'s "biggest mistake."
Yet by like token, many also remember that was August 2012, and some reports put Facebook as having several plans for HTML5 to come. Indeed, it's hard to pass up the advantages of HTML5, like being able to code up just one app for publishing in every single app store, not having to alter code for other platforms, not having to focus effort on developing for multiple platforms and several others. It's leading some to believe that HTML5 just might be looking at its banner year in terms of gaming, and certainly not without reason.
HTML5 in game development has many advantages, advantages that may, if used properly, result in direct bottom-line impact. That's hard to turn down, really, especially in an environment that's less than robust economically. Between the increasingly large numbers of games that use HTML5 in some way in the construction of same and the fact that some big names like Nickelodeon are starting to turn to HTML5, it's certainly a development that's hard to simply refuse out of hand.
The implications of Moore's law also come into play here, even if Moore's law isn't quite as clear-cut as it once was. The rapid pace of technological growth and development certainly suggests that, just because HTML5 wasn't exactly a heavy-hitter in 2012 doesn't mean that 2014 won't be much better overall. It remains to be seen just how far HTML5 can ultimately go, but by at least some measures, 2014 is looking like a pretty good year indeed for HTML5 game development.

Carl Cox contributes to 40th anniversary of legendary disco imprint Unidisc with new remix – 909originals
Sub Code 13 June 2021
Legendary disco and hi-HNRG label Unidisc celebrated its 40th anniversary recently, and Carl Cox has joined a collection of artists to pay tribute to the imprint with a reworking of a 1980 classic.
Cox has delivered a pitched-up, refined rework of Geraldine Hunt's Can't Fake The Feeling, which topped the US dance chart for seven weeks following its release four decades ago.
It's the latest in a series of musical re-imaginings to mark the label's anniversary, which kicked off with a Claptone remix of the Trans-X classic Living On Video, Jacques Greene's take on Babe We're Gonna Love Tonight and Alan Fitzpatrick's rework of Let The Music Play by Shannon. Purple Disco Machine is another artist lined up to contribute to the project.
Over its four-decade-long lifetime, Unidisc has evolved and shifted with the times – formed in 1977, it quickly became one of Canada's largest independent record labels, building a reputation around its Italo disco and Hi-NRG output from artists such as Lime, France Joli, and Geraldine Hunt.

Q: Append GET parameter to php URL I created a form that populates a database containing customer data. What i'd like to do is that when isset($_POST["submit"]), a GET parameter is appended to the URL, like &customer=<?php echo $last_id ?> where $last_id = mysqli_insert_id($connection);
Is this possible? Would this be a true GET parameter inserted in the GET array? Is also possible to populate the form with this newly added parameter?
Thank you very much!
This is the code, simplified
<?php
if(isset($_POST["submit"]) {
$nome_paciente = mysql_pre($_POST["nome"]);

$query  = "INSERT INTO pacientes (";
$query .= "id, nome";
$query .= ") VALUES (";
$query .= "$id, \"{$nome_paciente}\"
$query .= ")";

$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);
?>

<form action="cadastro_paciente.php?subject=1&paciente=<?php echo $_POST["id"]; ?>" method="post" class="form-cadastro">

Claire & Laura
The remarkable story of Claire and Laura has been kindly shared with us by their mum, Anne. It proves that Simpsons is a wonderful place which serves a much wider area than just the Edinburgh, Fife and the Lothians. Here is their story.
Claire and Laura were born at Simpsons in August 1999. Two days previously I had had a routine scan at 28 weeks and all was declared to be well. It therefore came as a shock on the following day when I went into premature labour. Due to non availability of intensive care incubators at Aberdeen, my husband and I were transported at high speed to Simpsons by ambulance, escorted by traffic police. The following morning, Claire and Laura, non identical twins, were born, by normal delivery, weighing 1100gms and 965gms (2lbs 6 ozs and 2lbs 2ozs) respectively.
The following days, weeks and months were extremely stressful for us. Claire was only ventilated for 24 hours but Laura was ventilated for several weeks and there were various unsuccessful attempts to try to wean her off the ventilator. There were many very worrying times and episodes that we shall never forget. It was 3 weeks before I could hold Laura and, even then, that was only for a very brief time. The girls spent 4 weeks in Intensive Care in Simpsons before being transferred to Aberdeen Neo Natal Unit where they spent another 9 weeks , after which they were finally allowed home.
Claire and Laura are now in Primary two and living life to the full. They have however both had their problems in the intervening years.
Claire suffered from severe gastro - oesophageal reflux. As a result of her "failure to thrive" she was tube fed from 4 months old before undergoing a laparoscopic fundoplication and gastrostomy by Mr. McKinley in Edinburgh in May 2000. Unfortunately she suffered a recurrence of symptoms and the operation had to be repeated in December 2001. Post operative complications necessitated referral, as an out patient, to Great Ormond Street Hospital, London for extensive tests and investigations. Under regular review by Dr M. Bisset, G.I. consultant and in the continuing care of the Dept of Dietetics at Sick Childrens Hospital, Aberdeen, things gradually improved. With the aid of medication, Claire started to feed orally. The gastrostomy was removed in July 2003. Surprisingly, she is now rated to be now one of the best eaters in her class! The transition from tube to oral feeding was, however, a very arduous task and one that required an extreme amount of patience and determination on our part. She has no other medical problems and has performed very well academically during her first year at school.
Laura has mild cerebral palsy. She was slower at achieving her gross motor milestones but is now leading a very full and active life. She wears lower leg splints, has regular physiotherapy and has had six sessions of botox injections. She leads a fairly independent life and participates in swimming, dancing etc. Again, academically she is performing exceptionally well.
We were greatly impressed by the care, professionalism and compassion shown to us as parents and to our extended family by everyone at Simpsons. Being distanced from home, family and friends greatly added to our stress. Dr Stenson and staff at all levels could not have done more to support and encourage us. We have fond and lasting memories of the kindness and understanding so generously displayed to us during our time at the unit.
Update November 2018:
Claire & Laura are now 19 years old, both 2nd year university students. Laura is studying medicine and Claire teaching.
Laura playing her clarinet at recent concert, having achieved grade 8 and her performance diploma
Claire recently completed the Loch Ness Marathon.

Associate Professor, Leonard and Helen R. Stulman Chair in Classical Jewish Religion, Thought, and Culture
DPhil, University of Oxford
Gilman 338F
pmaciej1@jhu.edu
My academic career began in the early 1990s in Warsaw, arguably the most vibrant intellectual centre in Eastern Europe during the period of political transformation. The University of Warsaw afforded me solid training in the craft of an historian working with archival material on the one hand, and, on the other, aroused my curiosity regarding theoretical approaches to the study of history and the philosophical assumptions underlying empirical research. In 1997, I arrived in Oxford to read first towards an MSt in Jewish Studies (1998), and subsequently towards a DPhil in Modern History (2004). Upon completion of a Whiting post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago the following year, I joined the faculty of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I taught till 2016.
My primary research interests are in the fields of the history of European Jewry between the 16th and the 19th centuries and the history of Jewish mysticism. Fusing philosophical perspectives on Judaism with thorough archival research, my work lies at the intersection of philological examination and close readings of primary sources and the discussion of the social background of intellectual phenomena. My most recent research focuses on the history and phenomenology of Jewish heterodoxy and heresy in 18th- and 19th-century Eastern and Central Europe.
In 2011, I published a monograph titled The Mixed Multitude: Jacob Frank and the Frankist Movement 1755-1816 (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press). The book analyzes the formation of Frankism, a heterodox Jewish movement that originated in Poland and spread into the Habsburg Empire and the German lands in the second half of the 18th century. Whereas earlier movements of a similar nature had little impact on surrounding societies, Frankism raised significant religious and political waves in contemporary non-Jewish communities and became a real cause célèbre of its time: it captured the interest of Joseph II and Catherine the Great, Goethe and Casanova, among others. Jacob Frank, the movement's leader, actively formulated his teachings as challenges to other religions: normative Judaism, Islam, and various denominations of Christianity. The study of Frankism thus presents an opportunity for a nuanced discussion of the internal diversity of modern Jewry and – at the same time – for a cross-sectional view of Jewish-Gentile relations during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Mixed Multitude was awarded the Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in Humanistic Disciplines by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the two most important awards in Jewish Studies granted by scholarly bodies in the US, the Salo Baron Prize by the American Academy of Jewish Research, and Jordan Schnitzer Book Award by the Association of Jewish Studies. It has been or is currently being translated into Hebrew, Polish, Russian, Italian, and French.
At present, I am working on a project focusing on using the conceptualizations of Jewish conversion to Christianity as a tool for reconstructing the concept of heresy in Modern Jewish history.

I have a problem. I have a daughter, too, but she's not the problem. The problem is, I am happiest in the kitchen when I'm going deep on some quest: studying the finer points of offal cookery, trying to make everything from pork kidneys to ox heart palatable, or testing my theory that a great cassoulet depends upon first butchering a pig and a lamb and a duck. This is a problem because my 11-year-old daughter, Hannah, passionately prefers familiar foods: spaghetti and meatballs, tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. Most of all, that girl loves hamburgers—old-school, fast food burgers like the ones she gets in classic American burger joints courtesy of certain well-meaning people we might as well call grandparents.
Hannah liked that burger fine, but I could tell it wasn't what she really wanted. So I pushed further toward what I mistook for excellence by adding garlicky aioli and then substituting the burger-patty instructions from Thomas Keller's best-selling Ad Hoc at Home. The secret, he explained, was to begin with whole cuts of sirloin, brisket and chuck, cut the meat into big chunks, toss it with salt, and then grind twice before gently shaping the patties by hand. To that end, I bought a grinder attachment for my KitchenAid mixer and discovered that my daughter did not belong to the minuscule percentage of 11-year-old girls for whom the sight and sound of a working meat grinder whets the appetite.
I loved those Alice-meets-Keller burgers. I'd eat one right now. But I couldn't miss the worry in my daughter's eyes, the fear that her father might never make a burger as good as the classic ones she ate at restaurants.
The next turning point came in a San Francisco stoner-Asian joint, Namu Gaji, where I had a sensational "Namu burger" on a soft white bun with spicy kimchi relish, aioli, and red onions glazed in balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. At home, I took the Asian-fusion impulse further, boosting my own aioli with Sriracha and fish sauce and mixing the beef with dried fermented fish flakes—a.k.a. katsuobushi, the ultimate umami-turbocharger. Then, in what I now consider the embarrassing nadir of my burger quest, I piled all of it right on top of the existing family sandwich—keeping the levain bread and the Dijon mustard—to create what turned out to be pretty much Hannah's worst nightmare.
This time, however, it wasn't just the kid who felt empty inside. Taking a bite of my own gargantuan Alice/Keller/Korean burger, I suddenly realized that it bore almost no relationship to the classic American burgers that even I had loved throughout my own American life.
"Time for research," I told the wife. "Let's hit a few burger joints, find out what the pros are doing."
She sent out queries on Facebook and Twitter, looking for recommendations. A pop-up called KronnerBurger rose to the top of the pile, so she made a reservation—just the two of us middle-aged married people squinting in the darkness of a seedy bar.
Chef Chris Kronner's girlfriend, Ashley Hildreth, set down our trays, delivering burgers that I can only describe as pop-art masterpieces—the burgers Andy Warhol would've created if he'd been working with Dairy Queen takeout instead of Campbell's Soup cans. Not too big and not too small, Kronner's burgers had simple white-bread buns with creamy white mayo, iceberg lettuce and red tomato and pickles, patties cooked rare. The visual aesthetic was old-school fast food—random burger joints in random little towns—but Kronner was a master chef, too, a veteran of San Francisco standbys like Slow Club and Bar Tartine. He wasn't playing around. (Kronner is opening a permanent KronnerBurger in Oakland, California, sometime this summer.) Each ingredient was a miracle of care and quality, combined in harmonious balance. My whole jaw slackened at the first bite. Every muscle in my mouth loosened as I chewed through a veritable clinic in advanced burgerology.
By the time I was done, I knew what my daughter had known all along: that the classic fast food hamburger is one of the world's perfect things. Glory lies not in reinventing that form, but in embracing its humble constraint, making it as good as possible without altering its fundamental identity.
We took the kids to KronnerBurger. They found the bar scary. Hannah—firstborn, rule-follower—demanded to know if it was even legal for us to have brought children there. Then we ordered, and Hannah picked up her burger. This, her face seemed to say, this is what I'm talking about.
I called up Kronner and begged for his secrets, hoping to replicate his burgers at home. Then I drove across town to purchase the exact pain de mie buns Kronner claimed to use. I removed a quarter-inch slice from the middle of each to improve the bun-to-patty ratio, and I spread butter onto each cut side so that, when I set the halves on the griddle, the butter's moisture would steam and softenthe bun's interior while the cut surface browned. I tracked down Cabot Clothbound Cheddar and, per Kronner's instructions, beat it into the mayo to create a covert cheeseburger effect. Red onions got sliced a quarter inch thick and then seared on only one side—never two—to create a sweet grilled flavor on one surface while leaving raw crunch on the other. I even pickled cucumbers from scratch, replicating Kronner's brine with lots of vinegar and salt—but no water or sugar—for a powerful acid-saline kick. As for the meat, it turned out that Kronner was blending dry-aged grass-fed chuck with short-rib fat, grinding exactly once and never pre-salting—convinced as he was that salt would break down cell walls during the grinding process, creating a dense meat-loaf quality.
Hannah saying, "You know, Dad, I would actually be happy with these burgers being our family burger forever."
Hannah, again: "And Dad, I'm totally over that well-done thing. If the meat's really good, I actually like it pink now."
And even: "I'm done with ketchup and yellow mustard, Dad. I only put that stuff on a burger now if it's a bad burger. It's kind of my secret way of insulting a hamburger."
But, like I said, I have a problem and I have a daughter, and my daughter is not the problem. The problem is that I'm the kind of guy who, once he's gotten a handle on the basic burger, can't help noticing the brioche smoked-potato bun recipe in bread genius Chad Robertson's new book, Tartine Book No. 3. And sure, making Robertson's sourdough starter is a weeklong process followed by days of mixing, kneading and rising to produce what could be the finest hamburger buns ever baked—but that's exactly the kind of trouble I can't stop looking for.

Newly discovered and translated published studies reveal fluoride is linked to lower IQ, even at levels added to US water supplies, reports the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). Further, fluoridation promoters misrepresented newly published Harvard fluoride/IQ research.
"Legislators who mandate fluoridation without carefully considering this research are doing a profound disservice to the health and welfare of their constituents," says attorney Michael Connett of FAN.
Harvard researchers recently concluded, after reviewing 27 fluoride/IQ studies, that fluoride's effect on children's developing brains should be a "high research priority" especially in the US which has never investigated brain/fluoride effects.
Fluoridation advocates, however, misinterpreted this research and mislead legislators in Phoenix, Portland, Wichita and elsewhere by stating the Harvard research isn't relevant to Americans. Advocates claimed the Harvard study found only a ½ point difference in IQ, and that the fluoride levels were much higher than Americans experience.
That's wrong. The Harvard team found that fluoride exposure was associated with a statistically significant reduction of 7 IQ points, not the ½ point claimed by advocate, Dr. Myron Allukian. The Pew Children's Dental Campaign and other fluoridation advocates, including Allukian and Portland Mayor Sam Adams, have stated the Harvard study focused on fluoride levels of 11.5 mg/l. Only one of the studies, however, was at 11.5 mg/l.
The majority of water studies examined by the Harvard team investigated fluoride levels which the US EPA says is safe – less than 4 mg/l.
One study, sponsored by UNICEF, found reduced IQ at just 0.88 mg/l – a level within the "optimal" fluoride range added to the drinking water of over 200 million Americans. Seven found reduced IQs among children drinking water with fluoride levels between 2.1 and 4 mg/l — levels that 1.4 million Americans drink everyday. Four found effects at levels between 1.8 and 2.0 mg/l — levels that over 200,000 Americans drink everyday.
Children with iodine deficiencies are particularly harmed by fluoride. And iodine deficiency has increased significantly, now affecting up to 12% of the US population.

America's parks system unites us all
Posted on September 7, 2016 by Editor in FDR News, News
It is another presidential Roosevelt, the aggressively outdoorsy Theodore, who is most commonly associated with the establishment and promotion of America's National Park System. It was Theodore's 1903 camping trip with legendary conservationist John Muir, after all, that led to the long-term protection of the Yosemite Valley. And it was Theodore who created five national parks during his presidency.
The younger Roosevelt, however, also had a deep understanding of what the parks meant to the American psyche. Franklin Roosevelt's administration used the Civilian Conservation Corps to better the national park system even as the country was mired in the Great Depression. As president, FDR made frequent public trips to the national parks. So did Americans. Even as the country grappled with economic crisis, park attendance skyrocketed.
The elder Roosevelt was a Republican, his younger cousin a Democrat. Both, however, understood how important creating and preserving the park system was to the American experience.

Trump thinks he owns Renoir, but Art Institute says real one hangs in Chicago
Darko Topalski
An official with the Art Institute of Chicago says the museum was gifted Pierre-Auguste Renoir's "Two Sisters (On The Terrace)" in 1933. (Pierre-Auguste Renoir)
There are two versions of French impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir's "Two Sisters (On The Terrace)."
One has hung in the Art Institute of Chicago since 1933.
The other is in President Donald Trump's New York apartment.
But one of them is a fake — and the Art Institute says it isn't the one in Chicago.
Trump, apparently, disagrees.
Trump biographer Tim O'Brien — who was raised in Chicago and knew the painting well — told Vanity Fair's "Inside the Hive" podcast that he first challenged Trump over the authenticity of Trump's "Renoir" years ago on the real estate mogul's private jet, where it once hung.
Even after O'Brien pointed out that the real Renoir hangs in Chicago, Trump continued to insist his was real, telling him, "You know, that's an original Renoir," O'Brien said.
And after Trump sold the jet, the "Renoir" apparently made its way to Trump Tower in New York, where it was visible in the background during an interview he gave "60 Minutes" after his 2016 election victory.
"I'm sure he's still telling people who come into the apartment, 'It's an original, it's an original,'" O'Brien said on the podcast.
"He believes his own lies in a way that lasts for decades," O'Brien added. "He'll tell the same stories time and time again, regardless of whether or not facts are right in front of his face."
Art Institute spokeswoman Amanda Hicks said the institute is "satisfied that our version is real." The Renoir was gifted to the Art Institute in 1933 by Annie Swan Coburn, who purchased it for $100,000 from the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, who purchased it from the artist in 1881, Hicks said.
The White House did not respond to questions about the provenance of Trump's "Renoir."

Defendin' De Penguin (Nintendo Wii, 2008) COMPLETE! $1 Combined Shipping!
Safari Adventures: Africa (Nintendo Wii, 2009) Wii NEW!
Create an icy fortress to repel the comical advances of arctic wildlife in Defendin' de Penguin, a real-time strategy game aimed at children ages 12 and under. Help a penguin named Little Blue protect his town's fish supply from an assortment of hungry adversaries. Build up to eight tower types to ward off such creatures as seals, snapping turtles, wooly mammoths, and even snowmen. Igloo-shaped turrets equipped with snowball, icicle, and ice cube cannons are available to augment your fortress, each offering upgrades to improve attack range and strength. Little Blue is also free to waddle or wade across the battlefield, scooping up an assortment of helpful items strewn about the map. Stationing your flippered friend in a tower can also temporarily boost its offense. Successfully prevent waves of enemies from infiltrating your base to save your village.
If you have a young (4-6 year old) gamer, this is probably a good starter game. But it is not for those 7 years and up with any experience playing WII. The story is simple and repetitive so a young child will be challenged to do better with each level.
Good game for younger children. No bloody violence. Animals just disappear. Cute characters. Challenging for a good range of children. All three of my grandchildren liked it and played it. Ages 5-10.
Da Penguins are so much fun!!!
Fun for my whole family, we couldn't wait for christmas!!!! We invited the whole dance studio to come play for the weekend. So fun to see little ones play with the older kids and my oldest daughter and the other dance teachers playing!!!! We are going to try to get a few more for christmas gifts!!! Thank You so much!!!! And Merry Christmas!!!!
The kids are learning how to play the game. They are doing pretty well. There are lots of layers of strategy for them to learn as they grow.
