Monaco GP 75 Series: 52 races later
By Andrew Frankl -
Andrew Frankl interviewing Prince Albert for Hungarian TV
I look forward to this Sunday's Grand Prix race just as much as I did all those years ago … 52 to be exact.
Monaco may have changed over the years but the Monaco magic is still very much alive.
Read the Monaco Grand Prix survival guide.
Returning for the first time since last year's Formula One, the first glimpse of the Med brings back wonderful memories.
When balconies were really full
Graham Hill marching up to Casino Square straight into the American Bar at the Hotel de Paris for a very large gin and tonic, or Jackie Stewart doing his famous walk down the hill, hand-in-hand with his wife, Helen, carrying his own helmet!
I don't think I've seen a driver do that in the last ten years.
The discount seats
And journalists could talk to drivers one-on-one, or even ski with them in Switzerland without a PR person present. Happy days.
Now, of course, with TV and, especially, social media, that sort of thing is unimaginable. Even Lewis Hamilton's dog has his own website.
For example, when Fernando Alonso declared that he was going to race at Indy the whole of Spain started following his progress online. Never mind the race, the Spanish papers sent reporters to cover their hero's every movement.
So is the Monaco Grand Prix the same after all these years? By and large, no. The one aspect that has changed, and had to change, was that of safety.
As a street circuit, Monaco can never be as safe as some of the new tracks where you can barely see the action because the cars are so far away but Lorenzo Bandini's horrifying accident in 1967 could not happen today. The cars are stronger, racing suits are still fire-retardant but now more high-tech, helmets have been hugely improved and, certainly fire fighting equipment is much more advanced.
True, accidents can still happen, particularly on the first lap, but while pieces of the cars may fly on impact, the drivers will – hopefully – emerge unscathed.
Ayrton in the pit lane
Happiest Monaco Grand Prix memories? To watch Jean Pierre Beltoise win in the torrential rain back in '72; to see Her Serene Highness Princess Grace hand over the massive trophy with this little guy standing next to her, who of course was none other than Prince Albert; Ayrton Sienna's unforgettable fastest lap in 1988, and Michael Schumacher at his majestic best. The list is endless.
The wonderful thing is that, in spite of all the changes on the outside of the track, once the five red lights go out it will be a gigantic battle from the inside.
I know it won't happen, at least it would be most unlikely, but I'd love an outsider like Sergio Perez (Force India) or Nico Hulkenberg (Renault) win the 75th Grand Prix de Monaco.

MyMonacoStyle Weekend Report
Fashion	Louis Pisano, Style - April 9, 2018
Oh Monaco, Happy Monday! How is everybody? Recovered from your Twiga benders and boozy Cipriani dinners? Great because winter is over (duh) and it's time to get into the season of fleeting moments and free spirits with spring/summer dressing. Are you ready?
Mor Perry Swed
@morswed Amazing Race Israel Alumni Mor Perry Swed was feeling a bit of a bohemian rhapsody over the weekend in Monaco keeping it super relaxed and chill. Her Instagram bio says "Good Vibes Only" and that's exactly how we feel about her style. Enough with bodycon, save that for the summer. Mor looks fantastic in a purple and red printed maxi dress with tassel embellishments. A distressed denim jacket on top for that sudden chilly turn of the weather we know all to well in spring in this area takes the look from basic to bomb. Of course, this being Monaco, when dressing down make sure your accessories are lux. A Gucci Marmont bag in green velvet adds to the eccentric texture story of the look. You may not have won the Amazing Race Mor but you certainly are a contender in this style marathon.

Marina Yaremchuk
@yaremchuk8448 It's clear by now in this transition period of the seasons it requires a specific formula of dressing. You need something that screams "HELLO WARM WEATHER" when the sun is out and you're outdoors having a coffee (or G&T, I don't judge) at the Café de Paris but sensible enough that when the clouds come it doesn't send you scrambling home for an extra layer. Beauty Marina looks like she couldn't wait to pull out this gorgeous blue and white striped sundress out of her closet and head to Larvotto. This blondie by the beach opted for casual but still dressy and feminine sneakers from Rihanna's Fenty Puma line to add that edgy streetwear vibe. The staple of the season, her denim jacket stands at the ready just in case the temperature drops and for fear of giving the cold shoulder Marina can quickly cover up.
Karolina Zubkova Mattes
@karolinasfairytale Fashion never sleeps and this next favourite of mine is the epitome of that statement. Enter Karolina Zubkova Mattes in the perfect look for a Sunday around town. As always, she never fails to disappoint: whether it's front row at the haute couture shows or walking her dog, she's always on point. T This weekend on the occasion of Orthodox Easter, Karolina opted for a white dress (yasss come through purity fashion Queen), a green jacquard camellia print Chanel coat (no doubt custom made) and a bright yellow Hermès Kelly Cut bag. If this was a "normal person" I'd crown the Hermès the pinacle of the look but this being Karolina Zubkova Mattes, she always takes it up a notch – in this case with her beloved Sophia Webster iridescent butterfly heels. Pretty sure she's the only person in the world to own these but don't quote me! All I can say is whatever Karolina wears she makes it a quintessential Karolina's Fairytale fashion moment.
Alexandria Iqbal
@alexandriaiqbal I always love a newcomer, a dark horse, if you can call it that. Someone, be it resident or visitor, who comes to the Principality with his or her own unique style and turns what we thought we knew about fashion upside down. Bonjour Alexandria Iqbal, welcome to Monte Carlo you little jetsetter you. At first glance I filed this look away in the "You Almost Made It" folder but upon closer inspection of the look and the contenders, I was scratching my head saying to myself "this girl is fierce" serving Mary Magdalene realness, shroud of turin and yeezy season vibes, Alexandria comes through with the neutral crop top sweater popularised by Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy, add a high-waist beige maxi skirt to that and you have a look that is either biblical or sent from the heavens to grace us mere mortals. I know some of you guys are gonna be like "what the …" but I like this look, especially the sheerish panels on the skirt and how Alexandria is just so casually walking the dog with her YSL bag and Converse sneakers! Bravo!
Julia Sidi Atman
@juliasidiatmanoff Someone that's no stranger to being put on a pedestal and judged is Miss Côte d'Azur 2017, Julia Sidi Atman. One glance at THIS look and you'll be asking yourself "Is it July?" Julia took full advantage of the gorgeous weather in Monaco to show off some tanned skin in a black and white printed Zara dress cinched together with a Missguided belt. She's got a bright future ahead of her and her reflective mirror Raybans got her ready. And just to add that special touch, Julia added in some furry Rihanna (yes, again) Fenty Puma sliders. She didn't try too hard but she for sure put everybody who did to shame with her effortless glam. Instagram sensation and style blogger Louis Pisano writes SuperficialLivingDiary.com.

The Women of Monaco Life, A Series:...
Feature Series	Nancy Heslin - February 28, 2018
Isabell Kristensen, haute couture designer with shops in Monaco and London
During the 2017 Film Festival, Isabell Kristensen is showing her first show in Cannes Saturday, May 20 at 6 pm. ML: Can you tell us about your journey from Denmark to Monaco, and to becoming an internationally acclaimed designer? IK: From a young age I worked as a model and I loved fashion but always knew my heart lay in design. I spent many years exploring fashion and the works of great designers – the colours, the shapes, the structure – as I had never seen such pieces in Denmark. Roberto Capucci was one of my early favourites. Travelling was always a source of inspiration for me, I worked for some time in Italy and travelled in the South of France. As soon as I had the chance, I entered a fashion design competition in London, which I was fortunate enough to win and was sponsored to take part in the "Clothes Show Live", the first fashion exhibition available to the public. I took so many orders during the event and I could not believe how positive the response was. I began building my own couture house in London and later throughout Europe. ML: You have a shop in Vielle Ville. Do you remember your first impressions of Monaco? IK: My first impressions were that Monaco was quite special, surrounded by mountains so close to the sea and with a unique culture and community. It has a city feel, with the glamour and business qualities, but as you integrate deeper into Monegasque society, you realise it carries all of the charming humbleness of a small town as well. The Monegasques are such lovely people, it is the type of place where everyone knows each other and says good morning as they pass in the street. ML: What is something people would be surprised to learn about Monaco? IK: Monaco is very glamorous and that is the side that everyone expects but there is so much more to it. It's a welcoming and diverse place while maintaining a strong and unique cultural feel. I learn so much from living here and meeting all of the international people who are also drawn to this amazing place. All throughout the year there are events such as the Yacht Show and the Grand Prix, for example, that bring people from all over the world together. ML: Where you do you prefer to shop? IK: All the world's best brands are in Monaco it is impossible to choose one. ML: Your favourite view? IK: On the drive up the Rocher to my shop, there is the most spectacular view of Port Hercules, the yachts, the sea, and the mountains. It's like a cocktail of beautiful and glamorous things, you cannot see anything like it elsewhere in the world. ML: Let's talk about your shop and Isabell Kristensen design. IK: I established my company almost twenty-five years ago and my goal as a designer has always been to create unique and individual pieces that highlight the best aspects of each unique and individual woman. Ralph Lauren once said, "I don't design clothes. I design dreams." This is very much the way I feel and my reason for why I love my work. My clients in Monaco often say "vous êtes des marchands de rêves". A dream is pure and creative, something that one has thought up entirely independently, something unique to you. The dream is the most important thing. I named my first fragrance "Dreams" for precisely this reason. A perfect Isabell Kristensen dress ought to be an extension of the wearer's personality, an accessory to her character. ML: How does the designing process work? IK: I draw inspiration from many things, for example Hans Christian Andersen's tales, however, the natural world has often been a source of stimulation for me especially when designing a collection for a launch somewhere I have never held a show before. Such was the case for a collection I launched in Jamaica. Many of the pieces were inspired by the natural beauty of the island's unique species of flora, as well as by the Jamaican national bird and even the Jamaican Boa. This is always what most inspires me, something uniquely beautiful. ML: Can you share some names of women who have worn your clothes? IK: I have been extremely fortunate throughout my career to be able to dress some of the world's most beautiful and talented women including Katy Perry, Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet, Paris Hilton, Joely Richardson, Shania Twain, and Liza Minnelli, who funnily enough approached me at a party in London and asked where I got my dress from. Two days later she was being fitted in my London Boutique in Knightsbridge. The first public figure I ever dressed was someone of whom I was a huge fan, Dame Shirley Bassey. She believed in my designs when my brand was still in its infancy. I walked up to her at a cocktail party and said "I designed a gold dress for you" and she graciously took my card. Five days later, my shop had just opened, she came in, looked around for 20 minutes and then left saying she would be back with her agent. She did turn up the next day and bought 32 dresses in one go. She literally started my business in a fantastic way, and is my good luck omen. When I got the cheque I told her I was going to put in on the wall for good luck and she said "Oh no, I'd put it in the bank because there will be many more." To this day she is still a client of mine, and when she tries on clothes in the shop she starts singing. We worked together for her performances at the Royal Variety Show, performance at the Oscars and Her Majesty the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. ML: Favourite designer moment when someone wore one of your creations? IK: I have so many different design projects in many countries, it's difficult to choose just one moment from another, but I was very proud to dress HSH Princess Charlene for the Princess Grace Foundation in New York, she is really one of the most elegant women I have been fortunate enough to design for. ML: What does success mean to you? IK: For me, success goes hand-in-hand with happiness. It may seem a cliché but there are few better feelings then when you dream of doing something and then have the opportunity to do it. For example, when I had the opportunity to realise one of my life-long dreams to work as a costume designer for a feature film. I worked on the set for "Shanghai Baby" dressing the star Bai Ling over the course of several months and it was a wonderful experience. Not only working on a movie set but also getting to travel to Shanghai and live in an entirely new culture for the course of the project. Working on this movie was another chance for me to learn and experience so many new things and it was amazing. ML: What do you make of today's fashion and would you say Monaco has its own distinct style? IK: Fashion fads will come and go, and while it's good to be aware of fashion trends and cycles, never let them consume you. Your own unique sense of style is what makes you a designer. Monaco certainly has a specific fashion style. There is an element of sophistication, a certain sense of style that lends itself to attending important business meetings while simultaneously hopping on and off yachts, sitting by the race track watching the Formula One and then immediately attending a fabulous gala after. There are few places that can compare. [caption id="attachment_8091" align="alignnone" width="640"] Isabell Kristensen fashion show at CREM's birthday party in June.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_8090" align="alignnone" width="640"] Isabell Kristensen with HSH Prince Albert II at CREM party.[/caption] ML: How did you become a CREM partner? IK: We were approached by CREM to do a fashion show, they had heard about our fashion shows and really wanted to work with us. We took on this event at the heliport as we loved the idea of getting to place our catwalk over the landing pads overlooking the sea, this had never been done before and we are always striving to challenge ourselves and demonstrate what can be done in Monaco. ML: What is a typical day in the life of Isabell Kristensen? IK: My day starts very early. I wake up and drink my coffee, I only drink a special chocolate coffee that I buy in Denmark, and travel all around the world with it. Immediately upon waking my head is already filling with designs, so I try to sketch as many out as possible, coffee in one hand pen in the other. After my coffee, depending on which country I find myself in, everyday is different. ML: What is the advantage and disadvantage of being a woman in business? IK: People often ask me how did I manage, starting a new business in such a competitive industry, building my business across different countries, expanding into new sectors, developing new products and all with four children? It is interesting how men never get asked this question, which I think exemplifies a great hidden advantage of being a women in business. So much of what we women do goes unnoticed and because of this we are often underestimated and also highly self-motivated. If you try working late on a collection, reviewing a new marketing campaign, analysing your figures all while simultaneously looking after your children, you develop laser focus and a strong ability to concentrate efficiently because your time is divided by four. The disadvantage is that there are not enough of us. ML: What is the one app or device you cannot live without? IK: Whatsapp, it keeps me connected to my family all over the world and often works faster than emails in business. Also, the music on my phone, the one thing I cannot live without is music. ML: What is the best and worst part of aging as a woman? IK: This is easy, the best part of maturing as a woman is grandchildren. I would not exchange time with my grandchildren for anything. The hardest part is probably glasses, I break mine all the time! ML: I've read fun elements about you. You once filmed an underwater shoot and also you wanted to test zero gravity. Where do these ideas come from? IK: Yes, I actually did do an underwater photo shoot in Monaco, and I will have to say in all my years of doing photo shoots it was definitely one of the hardest. Having to hold your breath and stay underwater with your eyes open long enough to take a picture was all part of the struggle, not to mention I was wearing an evening gown that had to be specially made to tolerate water. I also went into zero gravity, that entire experience was amazing, you cannot explain the feeling until you try it, it's like flying. I have always wanted to do a fashion show in zero gravity. These ideas come from a constant desire to turn thought into reality just as I do with designs, it is like I said dreams are so important so I try to fulfil mine and do what I dream. If I dream of flying I will find a way to fly! ML: You have four grown children and grandchildren. What did motherhood teach you about yourself? IK: Yes I have four children and three grandchildren actually my eldest daughter has a son and recently had twin girls. I myself have three daughters and one son and they are all grown now. Motherhood is the most wonderful experience a woman can go through in her life and it teaches you a lot of things. I speak to each of my children and my parents each day. I also travel a lot and visit my family all over the world so I never go too long without seeing them. My son, Martin, works with me full-time often in different countries developing various areas of the business, but we are always together for the tough stuff, big projects, big collections, big deals so that strengthens the relationship. I love having family involved, my youngest was recently modelling at my show, she is so beautiful and so talented, for her at this stage walking the catwalk is like walking down the street. [caption id="attachment_8102" align="alignnone" width="640"] Fashion show at the Yacht Club de Monaco during the 2016 Yacht Show.[/caption] ML: What woman do you most admire for her elegance and style? IK: Grace Kelly. Without a doubt, a true fashion icon, so effortlessly elegant. She achieved so much, a fantastic international career, a fantastic role model but most importantly a fantastic Mother. Remarkable women of her stature are a great source of inspiration and admiration. In my latest collection "Les beautés de la Mediterrannée" I could not help but consider the exquisite Princesse Grace Rose Garden as one of the Cote d'Azur's most notably beautiful special places and a source of inspiration. The dresses inspired by the Princesse Grace Rose Garden were made up of dozens of carefully sewn silk organza roses, each with a delicately embellished rose bud. ML: Can all women be feminine or do you have to wear the right clothes? IK: Absolutely. I have always loved a woman's shape. My first inspiration 25 years ago in London was Jessica Rabbit, a cartoon character, but I loved her voluptuous body. Women should be comfortable with themselves in their bodies whether they are one shape or another and I design clothes that bring out the individuality of the woman. ML: Best piece of advice from another female? IK: The best piece of advice I think I ever received was from my grandmother. She and I were very close and I used to spend everyday with her after school eating Danish pastries and playing cards. She was quite a character and never left the house without a hat. She taught me to be strong willed and believe in what one can achieve. At that time in Denmark people would always laugh at me when I said one day I would be a designer and live and work in London, the South of France and all over the world. With her advice, I believed in my dream and now I am sitting in Monaco with you.

PM asks states to grab $100 bn investment
• October 9, 2014 • Top News
Indore, Oct 9 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday asked the states to grab the $100 billion worth of investments that have resulted from his summit-level interactions with Japan, China and the US.
"(A total of) $100 billion investments from Japan, China and America have applied for visa. Now it is the turn of the states to capitalise on the opportunity," Modi said, inaugurating the "Invest Madhya Pradesh-Global Investors Summit-2014" here.
"The states which are ready can walk away with major share."
The prime minister also urged the states to work together in the spirit of "one and one – eleven".
He said the central government will stand shoulder to shoulder with all states, irrespective of the political affiliation of the ruling party, to facilitate investment and boost economic growth.
India's strength lies in its states and if the country is to be developed, the states must go forward, he said.
Modi said he stood for Team India, which includes him and all the chief ministers.
"If this team works together, a lot can be accomplished," he said adding that the states and the Centre were not competitors and their roles were complementary.
He complimented the Madhya Pradesh government and Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan "for rapid strides in development".
He said Madhya Pradesh has "ample land, good infrastructure, and effective governance" and was "an excellent investment destination".
He also complimented the state government for quick follow-up action to derive benefit from key policy initiatives of the Centre, such as the "Make in India" initiative and the defence manufacturing policy.
Ambassadors of 28 countries are attending the two-day investment summit which also has nine partner countries.
Industry bigwigs like Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani, Gautam Adani and Cyrus Mistry are also attending the summit, which will conclude Friday.

Q: How to compare two PCA results? I have two datasets which contains the same samples, but have different measures. I wanted to test which measures were better to separate the groups in a PCA. Thus, I plotted a PCA for both datasets and observed that one dataset had a better clustering.
The question is: Is there a quantitative measure that could indicate which PCA is better?
Why I want it: I want to demonstrate using the PCA that one type of measure is better than the other to cluster the groups.

A: PCA finds the clusters by maximizing the sample variances. So, to compare PCA the best possible quantitative measure is one that utilizes this fact.
The one I can think of right now is "the average variance of all the clusters weighted by cluster size". You can think of a better quantitative measure keeping in mind the working principle of PCA & features of your dataset.

Bernard Salt warns Australia lacks entrepreneurial spirit
Updated September 1, 2017 — 1.33pm first published at 10.43am
Australians are not entrepreneurial and lack long-term vision, according to author and social commentator Bernard Salt.
"The confronting fact is we are not entrepreneurial, we are not enterprising, we don't demonstrate initiative," he told the Family Business Australia conference in Hamilton Island on Thursday. "We need to embrace and admire people who can create businesses."
Bernard Salt says Australia looks flat-footed in comparison to the United States.
Salt made global headlines after arguing Millennials cannot save a house deposit because they waste money buying smashed avocado for breakfast and his next target is Australia's lack of entrepreneurship.
Salt calculates the top 10 businesses in America today by market capitalisation are Apple, Google, Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway, Amazon, Facebook, Exxon Mobil, JPMorgan Chase, Johnson & Johnson and Wells Fargo.
"Half of the 10 biggest businesses in America today were formed in a single generation," says Salt. "Here is entrepreneurship writ large."
He calculates the top 10 businesses in Australia today by market capitalisation are BHP Billiton, Commonwealth Bank, Westpac Banking, ANZ, National Australia Bank, Telstra, CSL, Wesfarmers, Woolworths and Macquarie Group.
With the exception of Macquarie, the youngest business in the Australian top 10 is Woolworths formed in 1924.
"By comparison the Australians look flat-footed, you have to say," Salt says. "You could make the case that 100 years ago we handed out franchises. Here's four banks, here's a telco, here's two retailers and here's a mining company and we ain't moved on."
Salt says while Australia is the third richest country on earth this is not the result of entrepreneurship rather it is due to Australia's natural resources and the scale of the population compared to the size of the continent.
"I would say we have benefited from complacent prosperity," he says. "We are rich enough. There is no fire in our belly. We have cultivated an expectation of prosperity and security. It lulls us into a false sense of security."
Salt says Australia needs to shift otherwise it will be left behind.
"Will there be global disruption from an Amazon or something else coming out of Silicon Valley and sidelining Australian businesses?," he says. "We need to develop a culture of entrepreneurship. The Australian response to business success is 'How did you get to be so rich?'. It is that culture, what we call the tall poppy syndrome that you could argue is a loveable characteristic of the Australian people or I could also make the case it is a fundamental flaw."
It is that culture, what we call the tall poppy syndrome that you could argue is a loveable characteristic of the Australian people or I could also make the case it is a fundamental flaw.
Bernard Salt
Salt says Australians need to value people who create businesses rather than knocking them.
"It is really, really hard to start a business to generate sales to employ people to pay tax and to be a good corporate citizen," he says. "It is hard to do that. We need to shift the way in which the heartland thinks. Instead of 'How did you get to be so rich?' it's 'I admire that quality'. That's the shift."
Salt says this is not an issue for the government.
"Typically the Australian response is 'What's the government going to do about it?'," he says. "I say, 'What are you going to do about it?'. When you say what is the government going to do about it you abrogate responsibility to someone else. When you say 'What are you going to do?' that means you expect 24 million people to say I admire people who have the guts, the fortitude, the insight, the determination to create a business."
Salt says Australians need to change their mindsets to support and value entrepreneurs and businesses.
"At the core of it is our attitude to entrepreneurship and family business is at the pointy end of that can do attitude," he says.
The reporter attended the conference as a guest of Family Business Australia and KPMG.

Pollock Performing Arts Center
The Grace Milliman Pollock Performing Arts Center
A Gift That Keeps on Giving
It started as a dream, in 2006, longtime Camp Hill resident, Mrs. Grace Milliman Pollock, donated $15 million to the Camp Hill School District through The Lion Foundation for the creation of and an endowment to sustain the Grace Milliman Pollock Performing Arts Center on the Eisenhower campus. The Pollock endowment which is managed by The Lion Foundation, has grown to over $9 million and funds the annual cost involved in maintenance and operation of the Pollock Center.
Since being built, the Grace Milliman Pollock Performing Arts Center has exceeded all expectations as a valued resource to the school district and Camp Hill community. The Center is a unique teaching, learning and production facility that includes a 500-seat theatre, a dance studio, green room, music library, outdoor performance area, and instructional rooms for vocal and instrumental music as well as visual and graphic arts. During the school day, students in grades 3-5 use the facility. When school is not in session, students in grades 6-12 and the community use it to enhance their theatre, dance, music and art experiences and skills, as they view, practice, perform, present and exhibit within the center.
Programming for the Pollock Center, includes offerings which reach beyond the school district to include the music lessons, art and drama programs and summer camps, choral and jazz concerts, and other student choral and Jazz festival events held at the Center. It also offers rentals for educational, civic, recreational and cultural events for the community.
The Arts played an important role in Mrs. Pollock's life and she wanted to ensure that future generations had that same opportunity to experience the Arts. Her donation provides that assurance for our Camp Hill students and community and has become her legacy.
--Robin Jones, former Executive Director of The Lion Foundation

The Ex-Terr Poems, poems and glyphs by Ed Sanders
New joint edition by Moloko Plus & Sea Urchin:
Ed Sanders – The Ex-Terr Poems
Moloko Plus and Sea Urchin have joined forces again to publish The Ex-Terr Poems by Edward (Ed) Sanders. The book, beautifully designed by Anneke Auer, combines new poems and glyphs by Sanders in his series of Bardic Glyph-Books. "These poems were begun in late January 2020, around the advent of my knowledge of the Corona Virus Invasion", Sanders explains. "With my wife Miriam as videographer and great idea-person, for the last 14 years I have been writing and broadcasting a Saturday evening half-hour program, 'The Woodstock Journal', from 7 to 7:30 p.m. over the Public Access television studio at the Mescal Hornbeck Community Center in Woodstock. I bring a DVD of each show from home to the station, and send it out to viewers over station equipment. While each show is running", Sanders continues, "I am free to write, work on my daily journal, or read. Last January 24, while The Woodstock Journal segment was being aired, I had a strange idea to write a poem about Sassy the Saucer. First I drew a Glyph of an extraterrestrial named Sassy, which, finished on the page, inspired the poem. Each Saturday evening, for the next 10 weeks, I drew a Glyph and wrote a poem about an extraterrestrial. Here they are, all fourteen of them."
A limited edition of 10 copies of this book, which come with an original glyph by Ed Sanders, is available while stock lasts. Order now →


The Jaguar XK150 was manufactured between 1957 and 1961 and despite having a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, the XK150 was radically modernised. A one piece windscreen replaced the split screen and the wing line no longer dropped as much over the doors. The bonnet was widened, opened down to the wings and, on the roadster; the bulkhead was moved back four inches to make the bonnet longer. In the interior, the XK140's walnut dashboard was replaced by a leather trimmed unit. The standard engine, the same as fitted to the XK140, was the 3.4 litre Jaguar straight six rated at 180bhp at 5750rpm but most cars were fitted with the SE engine that had a modified cylinder head with larger exhaust valves rated at 210bhp at 5500rpm. These were high performance, well-appointed sports touring cars and could cope with long distances with alacrity.
Originally built for the export market and delivered directly to New York, this (non-original engined) factory-correct 3.4 litre model has since been converted back to righthand drive. Upon acquisition by the previous vendor, the body of this manual example was found to be in good condition, the only areas requiring some work were both doors and door-step areas. During the restoration, the metal parts of the floor were also removed and replaced. On the inside, the interior is smart with the original trim, new wooden dashboard with original instruments. The chromework of both original bumpers is excellent. The brakes have been rebuilt and upgraded with replacement discs with all works fully documented in the history file, complete with valid MoT test certificate with no advisories. Extensive re-wiring has also taken place to bring this example into a position of reliability with over £4,000 spent on various improvements. A full professional re-paint took place in 2012 and all spares, tools, jacks and handbook are included and the resultant XK150 represents a very fine example of the marque indeed.

The Honorable Elizabeth A. Garry '90 made history on New Year's Day 2018 when she was named Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division for the Third Judicial Department, becoming the first openly LGBTQ presiding justice in New York State.
The appointment was announced by Governor Andrew Cuomo '82, who also selected Alan D. Scheinkman as Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division for the Second Judicial Department.
"These tremendously qualified jurists bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to New York's Appellate Court," Gov. Cuomo said in a statement. "I am honored to appoint these judges to their new roles where they will continue to uphold principles of law and fairness to move New York forward."
As Presiding Justice, Garry will lead the Third Department's Appellate Court, which has held a session at Albany Law School each year since 1995. She will also serve as the department's chief administrator, and oversee the Committees on Professional Standards and Character and Fitness, Mental Hygiene Legal Services and the Office of Attorneys for Children, among other court functions. In addition, she will serve on the Administrative Board of the Courts, comprising New York Chief Judge Janet DiFiore and the state's four presiding justices.
Justice Garry was elected to the bench of the New York State Supreme Court, 6th Judicial District, in 2006, and was appointed to the Appellate Division, Third Department, in 2009. She previously worked for 13 years in private practice with the Joyce Law Firm, and was a law clerk for New York State Supreme Court Justice Irad S. Ingraham.
"I am greatly honored by the Governor's appointment," said Justice Garry, who succeeded the now-retired Justice Karen Peters. "The precedent of this Court has been my guide throughout my entire legal career. I will always work hard and do my very best to bring its great traditions forward. I look forward to working with our Chief Judge and my colleagues to ensure that the principles of our state judiciary are advanced in service to the people of our State."
She has also served as a volunteer mediator and is involved with various bar associations, law-related committees, and community organizations. In December 2016, Justice Garry was appointed Co-Chair of the Richard C. Failla LGBTQ Commission of the State Courts by Chief Judge DiFiore.
Justice Garry is active in the Albany Law School community. A member of the National Alumni Association Board of Directors, she has participated in numerous law school events, notably the inaugural LGBT Law Day in March 2015. Last year she was a panelist for "The State of LGBT Rights" and "Running with Pride," a discussion on running for elected office and identifying as LGBTQ+, and served as a judge for the Domenick L. Gabrielli National Family Law Moot Court Competition. She was named an Albany Law School Kate Stoneman Award honoree in 2012 for demonstrating a commitment to actively seeking change and expanding opportunities for women in the legal profession.

'Bashundhara Tarokader Rannaghar' in Ramadan
A month-long cooking show titled 'Bashundhara Tarokader Rannaghar' will be aired during the holy month of Ramadan with the participation of underprivileged people of the society.
The 30-episode programme will be aired on private television channel ATN Bangla with support from one of the country's largest industrial conglomerates Bashundhara Group.
Actress Jannatul Peya will host the cooking show featuring prominent celebrities and noted cultural activists including signer Momtaz Begum, MP and actor Moushumi in different episodes.
A formal announcement of the show was made at a press conference at Bashundhara Industrial Headquarters-2 in the capital on Wednesday.
Captain (retd) Shaikh Ehsan Reza, head of human resources (sector-A); ZM Ahmed Prince, head of business development (Sector-A) and MM Jasim Uddin, head of marketing and sales of Bashundhara Food and Beverage Industries Ltd, Mir TI Faruk Rizvi, head of Marketing and sales of Bashundhara LP Gas; and Towfique Hasan, General Manager (Marketing) of Bashundhara Paper Mills Ltd, were present at the press conference.
Bashundhara Group is sponsoring the show to support the underprivileged and neglected people of the society in the holy month of Ramadan, they said.
Mentioning that viewers of all age groups will find the show enjoyable, the Bashundhara Group officials called upon people from all walks of life to stand by underprivileged people in Ramadan, the month of solidarity.
Planned and directed by Anonna Ruma, the programme will be produced by Channel Live Entertainment.


Whilst working for a petty loan shark, Leighton is unwittingly chaperoned for the day by his older brother Cass, a gentle man with learning difficulties. Tasked with minding Cheryl, a debtor, Leighton leads the trio to a childhood haunt, the aquarium.
In the tranquility of blue, brothers share memories of their late mother and happier times. Doubting his role in Cheryl's fate and reluctance as enforcer, Leighton seeks a kinder resolution offering to clear the debt. But when the offer is refused, Leighton must bite back.
Drawn into a small time criminal circle, Leighton enjoys the distraction that his adoptive family of ne'er do wells brings. But as hard as he tries to belong with the gang, there is an emptiness stirring inside that no amount of drink and drugs will quell. If Leighton is to change, to escape the pull of the sharks, he will have to draw upon a remembrance of things past, a family, love, care and protection.
The elder brother, Cass has always been the more responsible of the two. Taught well by his mother, Cass continues to keep an eye out for Leighton, often reminding him to look after things, the B&B, Mum's fish and himself. Caring and diligent, if sometimes a little distracted, he is like an anchor to Leighton reminding his brother of who he can be.
Hidden away in an old static caravan, Cheryl has given in to her addictions. Caught in a cycle of debt with Eric, she resigns herself to his proposal for repayment. Once she would have fought tooth and claw to find a way out but since her child was taken from her, she is empty, a shell. When her unlikely minders take her for the afternoon she finds a sense of belonging, a brief moment of the familiar, of family.
He enjoyed being a right hand man, reliable and loyal, he knew his place - but not anymore. Since a disagreement with Eric, not seeing eye to eye with his bosses methods, he has been pushed to the side lines and now another is taking his place. But maybe he can dissuade the newcomer, Leighton and warn him of what Eric will have in store for him.
Small time loan shark, he feeds off those around him, friend and foe alike. Whether for financial, emotional, or physical sustenance, Eric takes what he wants. He is an opportunist and manipulator, pulling others in to do his dirty work for a few extra quid. Eric believes in loyalty, to question or ignore his wishes would lead to a beating or worse, so those who swim in his circle stay close for fear of his bite.

Global warming has implications for the extent of the planet's great ice sheets – and the loss of those ice sheets will have significant implications itself for the future – our future.
But we don't yet understand the full extent of the effects, which we need in order to achieve an understanding of both current and future processes within the ice sheets.
That's where new research, published in the Journal of Glaciology, comes in.
By creating a computer model which uses past information from Greenland's glaciers and applies them to possible future climate scenarios, researchers are able to gain a greater insight into the rates and patterns of melting and, thus, any future inputs to sea level change from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS).
So why does it matter what happens to the ice sheets? Well, estimates from the National Snow and Ice Data centre (NSIDC) suggest that total melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets would, between them, release enough fresh water to increase global sea level by approximately 66m, of which Greenland's contribution would be around 6m (other estimates vary).
That isn't all: the loss of such a large area of ice has potential impacts for climate (as less heat is reflected from ice-covered surfaces and as the cooling influence of the ice sheets is removed) and ocean circulation (by injecting large quantities of fresh water into areas where the deep water flow which drives ocean currents and, consequently, heat transport is formed).
The problem is that the dynamics of ice sheets are complex and, in many aspects, not fully understood. Glaciers move at different speeds at different locations, according to factors which include their size, length and thickness, as well as the type of rock they move across and whether melting is on the surface or at the base of the glacier.
Melting introduces so-called positive feedbacks (where melting promotes further melting) and negative feedbacks (where a change can inhibit melting.
My property in Florida is currently 100 feet above sea level. I should be O.K. for a couple of years ;) As for the State, I guess they will have to increase property taxes on those properties that do not get sucked into the ocean. You can forget about Congress doing anything to reduce greenhouse gasses as long as they are receiving funding from the oil industry.
Is this anything like the models that can't account for the fact there has been no global warming for the last 15 years?
The reporters fell short by not digging into why this 'new and improved' model would indeed be more reliable. How have those researchers demonstrated that to be true?
It's the obvious question to ask, but as there are no asnwers printed here, the report falls flat, with a distinct hollow sound.
Humanity will be even deeper in our own doo doo unless we change the ways we generate and use energy. Contact your reps in Congress and insist they work harder to reduce global emissions. If they are in denial of the risks, work to have them removed in the next election. Our future generations are at risk.

New Purdue program helps entrepreneurs, supply chain
The Food Entrepreneurship and Manufacturing Institute is helping local entrepreneurs get their product on store shelves.
Author: Gina Glaros
Published: 11:01 AM EDT July 21, 2022
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Students at Purdue University now have a hand in solving the ongoing supply chain troubles. A new program is helping local entrepreneurs get their product on store shelves.
On Purdue's campus in West Lafayette, this is where the university meets agriculture.
"We have all of the tools, but there's a lot of demand," said Allison Kingery, managing director for Food Entrepreneurship and Manufacturing Institute, or FEMI.
For years, Purdue's Food Science Department received many requests from entrepreneurs, growers and small and large manufacturers alike for help in growing their product and taking it to market.
"That's where the idea of FEMI came," said Dr. Dharmenda Mishra, associate professor of the Department of Food Science.

FEMI began in the spring and combines food science, education and economics. However, entrepreneurship is what sets this program apart.
"How are we really going to help our entrepreneurs and help the growth of our regional economy?" Mishra asked.
And everyone in the program has a role.
"As I'm talking to these people, you see this need, they need this extra help," said Dr. Amanda Deering, associate professor of the Department of Food Science who works with growers around the region.
FEMI is a one-stop-shop to develop a business and marketing plan, ensuring food safety and making sure it's a quality product.
"A lot of times, they get frustrated because they're trying to do the same thing," Deering said. "They're trying to get answers, sometimes even with the regulatory side — what rules do I need to follow? How do I produce something? That's where we can come in."

They move their product forward with help from students like senior Matthew Kittaka, who's getting real experience — and the proof is literally in the sauce. Students like him helped solve the local company's separation challenge.
"The best part, so far, has been the opportunity to learn so much new equipment and work with people that I never would have worked with," Kittaka said.
Purdue students are answering the call to help get product on the shelf by providing a road map for entrepreneurs with a destination in sight: a better economy.
"Giving them the assistance they need through FEMI is something that's been needed for a very long time and long overdue," Deering said.

While it's great to go above and beyond in business, there's a fine line between working hard and working yourself to the bone. Sometimes, you just need to say no.
When you're working for an employer you respect, or pursuing a career you love, it can be difficult to turn down assignments or additional opportunities in the workplace. You want to make a good impression, but you can't do it all, no matter how much you might think otherwise.
"If you've taken on too much, your gut or your conscience sometimes will let you know," said Jay Cochran, a principal at Deloitte & Touche LLP. "You'll realize your deliverables aren't at the level they might be if you had taken the time to reflect and delegate where appropriate."
There are many risks of assuming too many responsibilities in the workplace, from excessive stress to burnout. Often, employees think they're just being "good workers" or setting themselves up for success, but the cost can be detrimental to their mental health.
Additionally, your performance will falter in other areas as you scramble to keep up, and you might even miss out on work that's better suited for your talents.
"By agreeing to too many responsibilities and projects, you then have to say no to other tasks that may be of a higher priority, other opportunities that are more strategic and ultimately more important," said Cochran. "If you're taking on too many items that are not strategic, you won't have the time and energy to do other things that are better for your career and for your mental health."
Knowing when you should say no is the easy part; actually doing it is another story. Here are a few tips to support you through it.
Cochran advises telling your employer when you think you aren't a good fit for an opportunity. Good leaders always value honesty, and turning down an offer is always better than accepting it, then failing to deliver.
"Sometimes, you have to make these tough decisions to say no, and you need to be clear and crisp in saying, 'I don't think this is the best use of our company's time and talents right now,'" said Cochran.
Rather than offering a cold rejection, however, Cochran said you can recommend another colleague who you think might be a better choice.
When asked to take on more work, think about the bigger picture: Will this benefit or hurt you and your company in the long run? If it will be a positive for both sides, pursue it; if not, turn it down to prevent issues in the future.
"I try to say no strategically so that I can make sure I'm doing the best job I can," said Cochran. "If saying no today means that I can be more effective later, and make better use of a client's time and of my time, then that's the better choice."
Just because you have a minute to breathe doesn't mean you should fill it with more projects. You need to find a balance so you're providing only your best work while still keeping your interest piqued.
"There's always more work to be done, but taking on more work does not in turn make you more valuable to your organization," said Cochran. "Growing yourself, your team, and your company and having insightful recommendations are your most important contributions to success, and when you're not focused on that kind of success, you're not focused where you should be."
You know your limits – be realistic about them.
4. Be your own advocate.
At the end of the day, look out for yourself and your wellbeing. If you feel you're working too hard, even if it's not as much as your co-worker is working, speak with your employer about a more flexible arrangement.
"We're going to be working for 40 years, and you'll burn out if you don't make time for downtime," said Cochran. "So sometimes you have to sprint, but in the long run, you need downtime to hone your skills and be able to reflect on how you can perform better. Taking time away for reflection actually makes you more valuable."
