I like the week 12 lineup so much I can't believe Im sharing it with the world. Fanduel has been good to me for several weeks now, here's last weeks results. Headed into week 12 I expect big days from running backs, be sure to have the best possible running backs in your lineups. The player pool in our optimal lineup tool reflects the high RB projections this week. Finding that top signal caller is tough this week. Andrew Luck could be this weeks top producer with his limited run game, not to mention his last outing against the Jags was top notch. But he did that with both TE's healthy, Allen could be out so I expect Fleener to out produce his salary. If the Jags take away the deep ball again Hilton could struggle which gives him a lower ceiling.
Our Optimal Lineup for Week 12 was generated for guaranteed prize pool tournaments on Fanduel but is equally as solid in 50/50 and doubleups. This lineup does include Thursday players from the Chief's vs Raiders match-up. I do not typically play Thursday tournaments on Fanduel because they lack a player swap feature. My concern is someone I locked into a Thursday tournament gets hurt before their game on Sunday and then I'm screwed. As seen in the below lineup locked in Cutler and removed K. Wright. Please play more than 1 lineup, you need to enter at least 3 lineups with 5 or more being ideal in week 12. I personally played five different lineups last week. Headed into week 12 I'm playing 5 different lineups spread out across multiple tournaments.
You'll want to play at least five lineups this week!
Here's my results from last week!
Not as good as week 10, but I still made money! Won 6 out of 18 large GPP tournaments for a gain of around 70 dollars.


The CRON press conference will be held on 2nd of June 2016, in room 7B at CCD South (Congress Center Düsseldorf). Please take this opportunity to promote the CRON press conference in your regional press. We will be making some important announcements regarding CTP, Flexo and Blackwood plates. Please inform Isabel at CRON Europe if you have invited the press from your region so that we can coordinate plans with our PR company.
CRON's Blackwood plant is equipped with the very latest manufacturing equipment, research capabilities and support infrastructure to provide a world-class service to offset printers.
The fully automatic plate lines, with a capacity of 20 Million square metres per year, start the production process using the very best grade aluminium stock treated to provide the base on which to apply uniquely formulated photosensitive layers for UV CTP output. The photosensitive layers continue to be improved with a focus on the ultimate printing characteristics for the offset process - extremely accurate dot production, easy run-ability and superior wear resistance.
At each stage of the manufacturing process strict quality control ensures delivery of the highest quality plates. Elsewhere in the organisation, the support team not only keeps in touch with the latest market requirements, but also provides immediate help to resolve printing issues.

It's almost thrilling reading The Ever Curious Gardener, by Lee Reich. Combining science and gardening facts, it makes so much sense, and you will discover the how and why of nature and growing plants.
This is one of those rare books that truly is a joy to read even though surprisingly it is based on logic - thoroughly researched, clear and detailed logic. Many gardening books skip over important scientific details, simply because the authors don't know them, or they think the reader is either not interested or wouldn't understand.
How wonderful then to come across this book that explains things in a down-to-earth, easy way for anyone to understand and put into practice. You'll soon have a flourishing garden... and know why it is so darn good! How about that.
The author, Dr. Lee Reich is a leading garden authority, with degrees in chemistry, soil science and horticulture. His research covers all aspects of agriculture and a comprehensive range of gardening topics. He's has numerous podcasts and written many books, including the brilliant "Weedless Gardening", which again combines good old common sense, facts and, yes... science.
Do you want to learn something new everyday about soil, plants, microbes and how to simplify chores in your garden?
Do you want the best plants for the least amount of effort?
Do you want to know that what you are doing in your garden, is absolutely rock-solid, with no myths, hearsay, folk tales and in many cases misunderstandings and practices that can often confuse and even harm your plants?
Should you prune woodies in summer? The common sage advice is that you should not prune in summer, especially in colder climates because it causes new growth that will not harden off before winter, resulting in die-back. Lee uncovers the truth and the reasons why!
What is the difference between the nitrogen in regular fertilizer and fertilizer for acid loving plants? The secret is in the chemistry - but you will have to read the book to find the answer.
Can too much nitrogen lead to aphid problems? "Nitrogen can be overdone. Plants gorging on this nutrient are overly succulent and barely able to hold themselves up." So this can also cause pest problems, like aphids.
Does paint prevent sunscald on Trees? This topic has many facts and myths, but Lee has added a new twist. To his latex paint, he adds eggs to keep rodents away. Rodents are vegetarian and don't like the egg taste - or is it the smell? "Sometimes I throw in some cinnamon, mint, and/or rosemary for added aroma that ...." it's all explained in the book.
There's so much more... Did you know that a handful of soil has more biodiversity than all the animals in the Amazon Basin? And: A teaspoon of soil .... has 10,000 to 50,000 species and more microorganisms than people on earth?
Lee then goes on to easily explains how these microbes affect plants.
But really in a nutshell, "The Ever Curious Gardener" is about gardening the smart way using simple science.

About Tales
Tales from the Jazz Side with Sheila Jordan episode #18
November 3, 2015	Podcast 1:27:17
http://talesfromthejazzside.com/mp3/epieighteensjordan.mp3
Tales is coming to you with guest vocalist/songwriter Sheila Jordan.
"Sheila Jordan is one of the Jazz world's best kept secrets."
– Blue Note –
With 51+ albums to her credit, how could she be the best kept secret? People "in the know", and what I mean by that, people who are true jazz lovers and listeners definitely know who Sheila Jordan is and what is so uncommon about her. She is one of the first vocalist to perform exclusively using just a bassist. When they speak about song stylist, story tellers, makers of history, Ms. Jordan is smack dab in the middle. Starting from her humble beginnings in the coal mining town of Pennsylvania to Chicago, where there, she dared to cross the lines of ignorance, willingly standing up to irrational racism. Her days in New York City. Her unique relationship with Charlie Parker, all the while living, performing , yes singing. That is where her heart was and still is to this day.
This legacy interview gives us all the opportunity to listen to the history of jazz and how it was perceived by one of the world's rare and ingenious vocalist. Ms. Jordan's career spanning over 80 years speaks directly as the voice of the original generation of jazz. You can't know jazz or understand jazz unless you have heard this story. Sheila Jordan's story.
"Gliding, soaring on the wind. You're a sight of glory
Flying way up there so high. Wonder what's your story?"
from Bird Alone by Abbey Lincoln
No longer to wonder, now is to know. I feel very honored to have Ms. Sheila Jordan on this episode of Tales. I've listened to her unique and original song styling for most of my musical life and have discovered that appositeness of subtly is definitely an obscure concept these days. Most singers today, sing using acrobatics, digital voice assistance, bells and whistles, anything and everything goes, all running after the latest sound that is most heard and familiar. And then there are the true innovators. The singers who find the illusive truth of the self that is all too often hidden between the notes and words. For Ms. Jordan that truth is her ever constant companion and together they move as one in the world offering to each listener an experience that is rare, profound and colored by love.
During the interview, we spoke on these things and I wanted to list them here so that you can check them out and discover all the wonderful things about this extraordinary woman.

About Sheila Jordan
b. Sheila Jeanette Dawson, Nov. 18 1928, Detroit, Michigan, USA.
Raised in poverty in Pennsylvania's coal-mining country, Jordan began singing as a child and by the time she was in her early teens was working semi-professionally in Detroit clubs. Her first great influence was Charlie Parker and, indeed, most of her influences have been instrumentalists rather than singers. Working chiefly with black musicians, she met with disapproval from the white community but persisted with her career. She was a member of a vocal trio, Skeeter, Mitch And Jean (she was Jean), who sang versions of Parker's solos in a manner akin to that of the later Lambert, Hendricks And Ross.
After moving to New York in the early 50s, she married Parker's pianist, Duke Jordan, and studied with Lennie Tristano, but it was not until the early 60s that she made her first recordings. One of these was under her own name, the other was "The Outer View" with George Russell, which featured a famous 10-minute version of "You Are My Sunshine".
In the mid-60s her work encompassed jazz liturgies sung in churches and extensive club work, but her appeal was narrow even within the confines of jazz. By the late 70s jazz audiences had begun to understand her uncompromising style a little more and her popularity increased – as did her appearances on record, which included albums with pianist Steve Kuhn, whose quartet she joined, and an album, Home, comprising a selection of Robert Creeley's poems set to music and arranged by Steve Swallow.
A 1983 duo set with bassist Harvie Swartz, "Old Time Feeling", comprises several of the standards Jordan regularly features in her live repertoire, while 1990's "Lost And Found" pays tribute to her bebop roots. Both sets display her unique musical trademarks, such as the frequent and unexpected sweeping changes of pitch, which still tend to confound an uninitiated audience. Her preference to the bass and voice set led to another remarkable collaboration with bassist Cameron Brown, whom she has been performing with all over the world for more than ten years so far and they have released the live albums "I've Grown Accustomed to the Bass" and "Celebration". Entirely non-derivative, Jordan is one of only a tiny handful of jazz singers who fully deserve the appellation and for whom no other term will do.

"There are some things in life that have to be done regardless of success or failure."
(insert from White Town 7″EP, July 1990)
That was what I wrote for the first insert on the very first White Town release. I remember cutting up a thousand by hand and sticking them in the sleeves. Now here I am, with a "proper" recording deal only…ooh.. six years later 🙂 Even if everyone hates my songs, I should get a Nobel Prize for patience.
Though a lot's changed for me in the last two months, some things remain the same. I still believe that music is about emotion rather that fashion. And that within music, the most interesting and honest parts are the imperfections. It's the blemish in a photograph that catches my eye. A lot of what I hear nowadays seems too… perfect. Beautiful smiles beam out from sparking videos, miming to *immaculately* produced songs. Who looks like that in real life? Perhaps I'm being too picky and all that pop music can offer is an escapist dream of glamour-by-proxy. But I hope not.
Whenever I write these blurbs there's usually an accompanying soundtrack. This time round it's been Tribe Called Quest's "Showbusiness" (for obvious reasons) and, mainly Magnetic Fields "Famous". Although I don't have marble-like skin (or indeed hair like Alain Delon), that song seems spookily appropriate. But don't worry, the next album won't be a whingeathon about the burdens of money and fame. Don't you hate it when musicians moan? Pah!
I suppose the weirdest time was when Mark Radcliffe was playing "Your Woman" on Radio One every other day and there were only about 10 copies of the CD in the country. The next strangest was doing a live interview with Simon Mayo and I *still* hadn't signed to anybody. It all felt a bit…..unreal. It still does now, especially as I was meant to be finishing my final year at Derby Uni this June. Going from Baudrillard and Chomsky to the baroque intricacies of a recording contract is a bit bewildering. Anyway, enough babbling. I hope you like this album. But hey – if you don't, just go and record your own. It's really not that difficult 😉
Firstly to Geoff Merritt and all the Parasol massive for putting out all my stuff over the last six years.

Bernd Klein, Pseudonym Leonard Coldwell (* 1957 oder 1958 in Deutschland), ist ein deutsch-amerikanischer Geschäftsmann für Esoterikartikel, Autor, Hochstapler, Verschwörungstheoretiker und vorgeblicher Wunderheiler.

Leben
Klein behauptet, mit Gottes Hilfe im Alter von 12 Jahren seine an Krebs, Leberzirrhose und Hepatitis C im Endstadium erkrankte Mutter geheilt zu haben, obwohl sie laut Ärzten nur noch eine Lebenserwartung von sechs Monaten gehabt habe.

Klein arbeitete in Deutschland als Motivationstrainer und Autor, zudem war er Aktionär und Aufsichtsrat der Effectiv Systems AG. Später emigrierte er in die USA. Er gibt an, der Gründer einer American Cancer Patient Advocate Foundation und für ein American Anti-Cancer Institute tätig zu sein. Zusammen mit dem Unternehmer Peter Wink entwickelte er die pseudowissenschaftliche Behandlungsmethode Instinct Based Medicine System (IBMS, "Instinktbasierte Medizin"), die er als kostenpflichtiges Abonnement vertreibt. Außerdem bildet er gegen hohe Kosten IBMS-Trainer aus.

Im Jahre 2009 gründete Klein in den USA eine Kirche, die Church Of Inner Healing LLC. Diese wurde später aufgelöst. Die Gründung einer Kirche geht in den USA mit einer Steuerbefreiung einher (Scheinkirche). Zudem können auf diese Weise "pseudomedizinische Handlungen" offiziell als zeremonielle Handlungen bezeichnet werden.

Klein ist kein Arzt und auch nicht promoviert. Laut einem Urteil des Landgerichts Bielefeld ist Doktor Coldwell lediglich der Künstlername von Bernd Klein. Nach eigenen Angaben hat er hingegen 1998 in Fauquier County (USA) seinen Namen legal geändert. Seine zweite Ehefrau heißt Tina Marie Coldwell.

Behandlungsmethoden
Mit seiner als Instinct Based Medicine System bezeichneten Methode soll er bis 2015 bei der Behandlung von über 35.000 Krebspatienten eine Heilungserfolgsquote von 92,3 Prozent gehabt haben, heißt es in der Werbung für eine seiner Veranstaltungen in Deutschland. Seriöse Belege für diese Behauptungen gibt es nicht.

Klein bewirbt das Miracle Mineral Supplement (MMS), ein Mittel, das zur Heilung von Krebs, AIDS, Alzheimer oder Tuberkulose dienen soll.
MMS wurde für diese medizinischen Anwendungen ursprünglich von Jim Humble beworben. Vor der Anwendung müssen die Inhalte von zwei Flaschen vermischt werden, wodurch Chlordioxid (auch als Textilbleichmittel eingesetzt) entsteht. Die Chemikalien wirken ätzend, was als Folge Erbrechen bis zu schweren Nierenfunktionsstörungen nach sich ziehen kann. Ende Februar 2015 stufte das Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte zwei MMS-Produkte als zulassungspflichtig und bedenklich ein und warnte vor deren Einnahme.

Angebliche Qualifikationen
Klein kann seine angeblichen Qualifikationen nicht nachweisen. Er beansprucht den akademischen Grad "Doktor" sowie den Titel "Professor" für sich und gibt an, akademische Abschlüsse zu besitzen. Seine angeblich fünf Doktorgrade darf er in Deutschland jedoch nicht führen. Diese vermeintlichen Titel stammen aus Titelmühlen. Unter anderem behauptete er in seinen Schriften, ein abgeschlossenes Psychologiestudium sowie eine langjährige therapeutische Arbeit an seriösen Kliniken zu haben. Nachweise hierfür bleibt er schuldig.

Klein kann weder ein Medizinstudium noch eine Approbation oder eine Promotion nachweisen. Seine Befähigung zur Ausübung der Heilkunde ist ebenfalls nicht belegt. Die Hessische Allgemeine schreibt, Klein sei "kein Arzt und nicht heilkundlich qualifiziert". Der Deutsche Konsumentenbund mahnte die Veranstalter der Messe Spirit of Health ab, weil sie mit der Teilnahme von Personen mit falschen Doktortiteln, darunter auch Bernd Klein, warb.

Verschwörungstheorien
Klein vertritt Thesen der verschwörungstheoretischen und teilweise rechtsextremistischen Reichsbürgerbewegung. Er riet bei Facebook dazu, eine Staatsangehörigkeit des "Königreichs Bayern oder Sachsen usw." zu erwerben. Vor Gericht sei es wichtig, dass man sich nie hinsetze, da in der Bundesrepublik "nur See- und Handelsrecht" gelte. Er argumentiert: "Der Richter ist Kapitän des Schiffes, was Sie nicht betreten sollten. Bleiben Sie bei Gericht auf dem Land, wo die Zeugen sitzen, und setzen sich niemals hin."

Klein solidarisierte sich auch mit Adrian Ursache, einem inhaftierten "Reichsbürger", der im August 2016 einen Polizisten angeschossen hatte, als sein Haus zwangsgeräumt werden sollte.

Klein verbreitet unter anderem Verschwörungstheorien über Chemtrails und warnt vor Impfungen, die Krankheiten in Wahrheit auslösen würden, statt sie zu verhindern. Außerdem vertritt er antisemitische Verschwörungstheorien, die sich gegen zionistische Juden richten. Unter anderem Michael Wendler verbreitete Kleins Behauptung weiter, dass der größte Teil der gegen COVID-19 geimpften Menschen im September 2021 sterben werde. Ende Oktober 2021 erklärte Klein, bei den Corona-Impfstoffen handle es sich um eine Mischung aus Krebszellen und Spinneneiern, mit denen Außerirdische die Menschheit ausrotten wollten, und bot Nahrungsergänzungsmittel zum Verkauf an, die bereits Geimpfte schützen sollen.

Rezeption
Hansjörg Hemminger beschrieb und beurteilte ein Mitarbeiter-Coaching Kleins 1999 in Stuttgart wie folgt:
"Coldwell verstand es mit bekannten suggestiven Mitteln, unter Ausnutzung gruppendynamischer Abläufe in seinen Auditorien eine euphorische Stimmung zu schaffen und im Rahmen dieser Atmosphäre sein Menschen- und Weltbild plausibel zu machen. Eine kritische Analyse solcher Gruppeneuphorien erübrigt sich, sie ist fachlich hinlänglich bekannt. […] Tragfähige Motivationen und Energien werden durch einen inneren Ordnungs- und Heilungsprozess autonom freigesetzt, der in aller Regel längere Zeit beansprucht. In Wirklichkeit zieht der sich vor dem Publikum darstellende Meister während eines solchen Auftritts lediglich positive Projektionen auf sich und wird so in der Wahrnehmung der begeisterten Zuhörerinnen und Zuhörer zu einem Ideal-Ich, dem man (da es nicht real ist, meist vergeblich) nachzueifern sucht. Erfahrungsgemäß profitieren Unternehmen auf Dauer nicht von solchen kurzzeitigen Euphorieerlebnissen ihres Personals."

The racioppi, delicious salty crackers from Agricola del Sole, take their name from the Coratina variety of olives, known also in the province of Bari as racioppo di Corato.
These chopped olives are what give these racioppi their unmistakable aroma and such a delicious flavour.
Try them alone if you want a salty snack, or use them to prepare an aperitif or a Mediterranean appetiser with fresh or aged cheese, sausages and grilled vegetables, and of course a good glass of fruity red wine.
Ingredients remilled durum wheat semolina, extra virgin olive oil, white wine, olives, salt. Contains gluten and sulphites.

Q: IMDb dataset find number of 10 ratings for a movie I'm trying to sort IMDb movies based on the number of (rated 10) votes they got. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find that piece of information in their public dataset on their FTP servers (It's not in the ratings file).
Example of the information I'm trying to extract:
The Shawshank Redemption has 955769 votes of a 10 rating.
Is there any other way this could be done?
Can IMDbPy help?

A: You should be able to get the rating information by using the IMDbPY package.
Follow the steps as shown in the link IMDbPY.
You can actually do it in two ways,

*

*Use the api provided which is a straight forward method (works in cases where the number of api calls are less).

*But in case you have multiple api calls, you need to create a local IMDb database. You can do it by running the python script provided by IMDbPY which automatically creates tables for you in the database (follow the steps as mentioned here).

Other way of doing it (not recommended) is by creating a web scraper which is a painful process. Can build one with the help of requests, beautifulsoup packages in python.

Increased physical exercise in the early twenties augments bone development and may trim down the risk of fractures in later life, a new study has revealed.
The strength of our bones is determined early in life. The more bone mass we put on when young, the smaller the risk of fractures as we grow older.
Previous research has shown that exercise before and during puberty is particularly important for bone development.
Now researchers at the University of Gothenburg's Sahlgrenska Academy have shown that exercise in the early twenties also aids bone growth, countering the risk of broken bones later in life.
Mattias Lorentzon and his colleagues at the Sahlgrenska Academy's Centre for Bone and Arthritis Research show in a study of 833 Swedish men that those who increased their levels of physical activity between the ages of 19 and 24 also increased their bone density in the hips, lumbar spine, arms and lower legs – while those who decreased their physical activity during this period had significantly more brittle bones.
"The men who increased or maintained high levels of physical activity also developed larger and thicker bones in their lower arms and legs," said Lorentzon.
"These findings suggest that maintaining or, ideally, increasing physical activity can improve bone growth in our youth, which probably reduces the risk of fractures later on," Lorentzon added.

Chicago's Acclaimed Parachute Is Back With a Lot More Funk

The Chicago restaurant scene lost many of its favorites during the past two years. Few have made a comeback, with the delightful exception of Parachute last month. Chefs and owners Beverly Kim and Johnny Clark closed their beloved Korean restaurant in March 2020 over safety concerns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, shifting to a takeout-only model and then closing entirely in June 2021 for renovations.
Reopen since the end of May, the extended break allowed Kim and Clark to rethink their restaurant model. They wanted to create a more sustainable environment for their staff, so they instituted a 20 percent service charge that's added to every check and ensures a living wage for everyone.
"The restaurant industry is based on a template that's broken, so taking the steps to not have people feeling like they are depending on guests to pay their wages makes a huge difference psychologically," Kim says.
That's just one of the several changes the husband-and-wife team have instituted at the Avondale restaurant, which only recently opened up reservations again. "It's still creative, it's still modern, all of the things you think of when you think of Parachute, just a little more focused and intentional," Kim says.
The lauded spot—Parachute has a James Beard Award and a MICHELIN star under its belt—is up for a Beard again, in the outstanding restaurant category. With that in mind, here's a closer look at some of the changes.

The sustainability ethos extends to the menu as well. Kim and Clark have cut it down to a dozen items, which will rotate regularly, making it a more manageable menu in terms of food costs and prep time. The latter, Kim hopes, will provide staff with a better work-life balance.
The dishes on the menu now are unabashedly Korean, Kim says, showcasing ingredients such as gochujang, the Korean red chile paste; a host of banchan, or Korean small plates like kimchi and seasoned spinach, made fresh daily; and locally sourced meats and produce. An ever-changing hwe selection, or raw seafood, will always be available. Other dishes on the reopening menu currently include haemul pajeon, a Korean seafood pancake, and yeomso tang, a goat stew.
Parachute's bing bread, a skillet-fried bread stuffed with potato, bacon, cheese, and scallions, and a diner favorite before Parachute closed temporarily, is no longer on the menu. Kim says the dish isn't really representative of the restaurant's Korean identity; she added the Chinese food-influenced creation to the menu in the hopes that it would be a gateway to Korean food.
"People now have so much of a better understanding of what Korean food is, so I think people will appreciate digging deeper, being able to handle a little more funk," Kim says.

Parachute's new beverage list, or sool program, is also playing up that funky element through drinks like makgeolli, or unfiltered Korean rice wine; domestic and imported soju; and a selection of wines that pair with the food, including Italian Lambrusco and Mexican Chardonnay. Beer is limited to a single collaboration—a farmhouse ale made with prickly pear—with experimental spot Illuminated Brew Works. The restaurant also offers spirit-free beverages, such as a cucumber cooler with Thai basil and tonic.
Some of the physical changes at the restaurant include repairing cracks and leaks in the 100-year-old building it's located in, as well as improving the wheelchair ramp. There's a new sound system featuring vintage records, inspired by Clark's pandemic side project, where he focused on mastering the world of analogue sound systems.
The core of the restaurant, though, remains the same, Kim says. The wood and brick accents inside the space, one of the defining elements of Parachute along with its long communal table, have stayed. So has Kim and Clark's commitment to hospitality and desire to showcase even more Korean dishes to a wider audience. "For me, it's about being more authentic to myself," Kim says.
Parachute is open Tuesday through Thursday from 5 pm to 10 pm and Friday and Saturday from 5 pm to 11 pm.

Review: "The Disciple" Is a Necessarily Critical Ode to Hindustani Classical Music
Chaitanya Tamhane's "The Disciple" chronicles age-old musical tradition's journey to find its place in the modern landscape through a coming-of-age story.
By Arjun Baokar, 11 Oct 20 20:29 GMT
Courtesy of New Europe Film Sales.
The Disciple is director (famed for his 2014 debut Court) Chaitanya Tamhane's love letter to North Indian classical music, also known as Hindustani music. The film's main character, Sharad Nerulkar (Aditya Modak), is an Indian classical singing student with a boundless passion for the craft. Unfortunately, the audience soon realizes that his ability does not match his passion.
Nerulkar's journey of dedicating himself to the "lonely and hungry" road of musical mastery leads to unique insights into personal growth, hero worship, and the uncertain place of tradition in a world that's passed it by. The Disciple is a mirror to Indian classical music's struggle to retain its traditions in a changing India, told through Nerulkar's coming-of-age story. The film provides a harsh but necessary critique about the legend of the art form.
Traditions in a Modern Age
The Disciple explores an art form past its golden age, something even cinema itself can relate to. In an interview with Cinema Escapist, director Chaitanya Tamhane said, "I think cinema saw its glorious peak in the 20th century, and now it's splintering off into series, short videos, and other [mediums]. In that sense, The Disciple is a very personal film for me."
The film references the guru-shishya (disciple) tradition from ancient India, where students would live with their teacher to immerse themselves in learning the guru's skills and philosophy. While this tradition is losing popularity, it continues to represent a spiritual ideal in Indian culture. One such skill that a guru of classical music would pass on to their student was khayal. Based on a word that means "imagination", khayal is a genre of singing where the singer must improvise a composition mid-performance while adhering to a musical framework (known as raga). Masters of the craft consider it a meditative experience, where their thoughts color their improvisations.
Nerulkar is a child of this tradition—he worships his father's guru, a legendary classical singer called Maai. His childhood leads him to pursue khayal mastery, choosing the lifestyle over a sustainable job. This decision embodies a problem classical music faces: the ideal path to mastery isn't a practical way to learn in urban, Internet-connected India. Nerulkar's family is distraught over this decision, and he struggles to reconcile the fact that his friends forgo guru-disciple training while also exceeding his musical skill.
Legends Built to Stifle Inspiration
This doubt shakes but doesn't dissuade Nerulkar. Before every performance, he rides his motorcycle with Maai's words echoing in the background. "I sing for only God and my guru", Maai intones as a tanpura plays a trance-like resonance. Her lectures about the purity of art and the artist become the mantra for Nerulkar's life. These meditative motorcycle scenes recurrently punctuate the movie, and you begin to believe her words along with Nerulkar, as unachievable as they sound.
However, you also start to notice the vast chasm between Maai's words and Nerulkar's actions. Instead of inspiring Nerulkar, the legendary perfection of khayal masters eats away at his hope of ever becoming one. The mythos of Hindustani classical gurus was meant to inspire students, but in reality creates an insurmountable "purity of thought" requirement that demoralizes Nerulkar. To add insult to injury, the holiness is often superficial; countless "pure" Indian classical music gurus face sexual assault allegations.
Nerulkar's relationship with Maai parallels this darker side of the musical community. When he meets a music critic who has met Maai, he can't reconcile the critic's stories with her legend. That critic breaks apart each piece of Maai's teachings, claiming she was a prostitute before she became a famous singer. He even has some recordings of her singing, even though she famously never sang for others. The audience sees Maai as a flawed, talented musician who had to create a persona to overcome stigma in a male-dominated genre. Meanwhile, Nerulkar's reaction is the same as a child who just learned that Santa Claus isn't real.
Nerulkar has never succeeded in following Maai's ideology, but he finally realizes this himself. He cares deeply about winning singing competitions, derives value from comparing himself to his fellow students, and disparages those that don't like his music. Nerulkar's deviation from Maai's teachings fosters frustration and disillusionment, culminating in self-hatred as he watches people around him succeed in their musical careers.
"My starting point was wanting to explore the gradual fading of a dream, and what obstacles and reasons cause it," said director Tamhane.
A Guru's Lesson
The Disciple's revelations of hypocrisy provide a necessary lesson. Tradition's teachings provide meditative insight: happiness comes from doing things for yourself, the bond between teacher and student is sacred, and failure at a goal doesn't mean the end of a dream. However, building a legend of moral superiority based on tradition isn't a method that fulfills those teachings. The film instead encourages artists to embrace their own successes and pursue art instead of legends.
In director Tamhane's words, "we shouldn't let our heroes become our oppressors."
Chaitanya Tamhane's film critiques something that he clearly loves, and dares to face the darkness in it. His dedication to Hindustani music shows in The Disciple's musical score, one that conveys the ethos of Indian classical music, and puts you into a meditative trance.
"We were working within the medium of cinema, and trying to depict another medium: music. With both mediums being inherently temporal, it created even more challenge to do justice to the music without short-changing the viewer or feeling rushed. We had to consider how the individual pieces contributed to the soundscape of the film, and how they shape the color of the entire film." Tamhane said regarding his musical thought process.
Much like khayal, The Disciple is a reflection of the artist's mind. The beauty of the film is in its subtlety, with emotion conveyed through small facial expressions and sound. If you enjoy introspective art, it's a film you shouldn't miss. Ironically, The Disciple becomes the audience's guru, teaching us new perspectives on failure, an artist's journey, and a dream's decay.

A recent study conducted at Indiana University's Department of Chemistry explored the potential use of Janus particles in T cell activation. Activation of T cells is a key step in the immune response. Various classes of T cells catalyze the destruction of viruses, pathogens and even cancerous cells. Thus, T cell activation holds great promise in disease treatment by enabling the body's own disease-fighting mechanisms.
Adoptive T cell therapy to treat disease was previously achieved in vivo using antigen-presenting cells (APCs). However, this technique is costly, time-consuming and often irreproducible. Janus particles provide a more cost-effective and controllable solution.
Janus particles are a unique type of nanoparticle that have two or more distinct chemical properties. Researchers saw this dual nature as a valuable feature for T cell activation – a process that involves a specific spatial arrangement of ligands on the T cell surface. Receptors on the membrane of the T cell are arranged in a bull's-eye pattern. The activating cell must bind to these receptors to elicit T cell activation.
Researchers used microcontact printing to produce two configurations of the Janus particle, which contained both fibronectin and anti-CD3. These particles were then incubated with T cells. T cell activation was measured by quantifying fluorescence staining of the influx of calcium ion associated with activation. T cells incubated with Janus particles possessing greater levels of anti-CD3 exhibited more calcium influx, indicating greater activation intensity.
Although further research is necessary to ensure correct configuration of the Janus particles upon contact with T cells, recent developments suggest that future techniques may allow mechanical manipulation of particles with optical tweezers.

IPSOS boss, TOM WOLF, responds to RUTO and WAIGURU's threat of suing him for naming them as the most corrupt Kenyans
News 08:12
Thursday August 23, 2018 - IPSOS Synovate Lead Researcher, Tom Wolf, has defended his poll that ranked Deputy President William Ruto and Kirinyaga County Governor Anne Waiguru the most corrupt public officials in Kenya.
This is after the duo threatened to take legal action against the research firm for pushing a political agenda and in the process tarnishing their names by branding them as the most corrupt individuals in the country.
Speaking yesterday after the threat, Wolf expressed confidence that the findings of IPSOS survey, conducted between July and August 2018, reflected the true perception of Kenyans regarding the two high ranking politicians.
He clarified that the survey report was not based on his own perception but rather how Kenyans felt about different issues affecting the country including corruption.
"The questions were asked in Swahili, English and Somali."
"On corruption, Kenyans were asked to name the person they believed was the most corrupt based on media reports they had heard," Wolf explained.
"The questions are not always on public issues."
"We also have another set of questions which are IPSOS questions and some of them are driven by the current situation," he said.


Winning a rare insight into the cause of schizophrenia and possible ways to treat it, scientists in Boston say they have identified a biochemical pathway that contributes to the disease by altering connections between brain cells.
The link between schizophrenia and a protein called complement component 4, or C4, was painstakingly established by combining a genetic screen of more than 65,000 people with laboratory findings in mice and analysis of 700 postmortem brain samples. Researchers said they believe the protein plays a role in signaling which connections between neurons should be "pruned," or removed, as the brain develops after childhood.
"This suggests one possible model for schizophrenia that makes sense of a series of observations about the disease that previously seemed disconnected," says Steven A. McCarroll, director of genetics at the Broad Institute's Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research and the senior author on the paper, which was published today by Nature.
Researchers carry out gene studies to track the cause of schizophrenia at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Scientists have long puzzled over why schizophrenia strikes in late adolescence or early adulthood, sending previously high-functioning individuals spinning into psychosis and often leaving them with devastating cognitive deficits. Although the cause of schizophrenia is unknown, a growing body of evidence has shown its onset is usually accompanied by the massive loss of synapses, the microscopic connections between brain cells.
The work began four years ago, inspired by papers that three consortia from around the globe published in 2009. These compared DNA differences between the genomes of people with schizophrenia and the genomes of people without the disease. All three analyses pointed to a swath of genetic real estate consisting of hundreds of genes located on the short arm of chromosome 6 and associated with the immune system. At first, geneticists were unable to discern any real pattern in the data. Part of the reason, McCarroll says, was that there were not one or two DNA differences that on their own seemed to be consistently associated with an increased risk for the disease.
After eliminating all conventional explanations, McCarroll says, his graduate student Aswin Sekar eventually identified a possible pattern: many of the DNA variations seemed to affect the amount of a specific type of C4 protein present in the synapses of the brain. And the more C4 was present, the higher the risk of developing schizophrenia. "There are many forms of C4, each with a different level of risk, and that underlying complexity was what had made this appear to be such a hard problem scientifically," McCarroll says.
McCarroll says that certain versions of the C4 gene seem to increase people's risk for developing schizophrenia by 27 to 50 percent.
But what is the biological role of C4 in the brain? The gene clue would have been wholly perplexing, McCarroll says, were it not for groundbreaking 2007 work by Beth Stevens, who today runs a laboratory at Boston's Children's Hospital. The C4 gene participates in what's known as "the complement cascade," a process by which the immune system marks tumors, viruses, or dying human cells for elimination and removal. What Stevens, along with Stanford biologist Ben Barres, found was that the complement cascade also plays a novel role in brain development early in life. Specifically, the system helps to "prune" unneeded or unused synaptic connections, sculpting the brain into a more efficient structure. Stevens demonstrated that complement molecules were serving as an "eat me" signal, summoning tiny cells in the brain known as microglia to converge on unused synapses and prune them away.
After Sekar and McCarroll traced the schizophrenia mutations to C4, they got in touch with Stevens, whose lab is devoted to studying microglia, and the two labs began to hold joint weekly meetings. Working with mouse models, they soon demonstrated that C4 also had a role in synaptic pruning in the brains of developing mice. Their theory now is that excessive levels of the protein could lead to overpruning and to the thinning out of brain tissue that appears to coincide with the worsening of schizophrenia symptoms, such as psychotic episodes. Cannon says psychosis is likely caused by tissue loss in regions of the prefrontal cortex that help individuals establish information flow and identify whether stimuli they are experiencing come from the outside world or from within their own head.
Cannon says the new study is important for having taken a clue from a genetic screen, added evidence from animals, and then related the data to what's known about schizophrenic patients. "Schizophrenia is one of those conditions that defy explanation with respect to any one gene," he says. The new result, however, suggests ways to "integrate" what happens in different brain regions, pathways, and transmitter systems. "It seems compatible with the general view that many different kinds of mutations will aggregate together to drive somebody toward a threshold effect that could result in overly aggressive immune signaling and gray-matter loss," he says.
Steven E. Hyman, director of the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research and a former director of the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health, called the paper "a landmark" and noted that "it begins to suggest potential routes toward therapies." New drugs are urgently needed. Schizophrenia is currently treated with antipsychotic medications that help stop hallucinations but don't do much for the other symptoms, including poor decision making and memory problems (see "Shining a Light on Madness").
In the months ahead, Broad Institute researchers say, they will continue to follow the new clues, using small brain organoids derived from stem cells as well as animal models to look for other genetic variants that might contribute to the disease, and will begin thinking about possible therapeutic strategies.

Max, Auntie Aggie and Morag the Rabbit are on a quest; to find the lost treasure once belonging to Captain McDougall and his motley crew!
It's buried somewhere on a Desert Island and they need your help to find it.
Help follow the treasure map across land and sea, and meet some terrific tropical creatures and characters along the way.
The show starts at 2pm and tickets costing £8 (£5 concessions, £25 family) are available by calling 01698 403120 or visiting www.culturenl.co.uk.


Watch the show live from Paris right here!
Kicking off at 8pm Paris time (7pm UK time), we're taking you – virtually at least – to The Louvre to watch the Louis Vuitton SS19 Women's fashion show. We're expecting big things, so make sure you're tuned in right here this evening.


With Nashville being one of the top cities to call home, more and more people are moving to Middle Tennessee, which is exactly what makes it a great place to invest. To some, real estate is the perfect alternative for investors who might not prefer the volatility of the stock market, and with Nashville's housing market so red hot, there's no time like the present to take a closer look at what multi-family opportunities are currently available.
Just like the name suggests, multi-family homes are residential properties that are equipped to house multiple residents or families at time inside individual units. From an investor standpoint, the most common form of multi-family housing is an apartment building, although townhomes, villas, condo buildings, and any other attached residences also fits into the multi-family category as well. For a closer look at multi-family homes for sale in Nashville, check out the available MLS listings below, or feel free to call us today about a multi-family home you'd like to view in person.

Cameos are simply stunning pieces of hand-carved art ñ and theyíve been around for centuries! Often carved into material that naturally has two contrasting colors, cameos actually date back to ancient times. By carving into a material until they hit the contrasting color, makers of cameos created a unique image.
How old are they? The kinds of cameos that antique aficionados typically find will probably be from the Victorian era onward, but cameos date back to ancient times and were popular during the Renaissance, too.
Why did they become popular? The Cameo Collection speculates that these ancient carvings were created for similar reasons as most ancient carvings ñ to commemorate events or communicate ñ for example,the cameo could have symbolized a moral or story. This continued through the years as Romans and Greeks paid tribute to mythical gods via the cameo, until they eventually became a status symbol and sign of wealth in the 16th century and beyond.
Are they tough to find? Yes and no. Some specific aspects are tough to find, like cameo portraits that face to the left or a Victorian piece that is several centuries old. More modern cameos or cameos with relatively typical portraits can be inexpensive and easier to find. (Unusual portraits or scenes can be much more valuable.) Cameos made from colored stones or simply that have several layers of color, according to Antiques Roadshow, are considered rare and valuable.
How much do they cost? Depending on the rarity and condition, cameos can be less than $100 or as much asseveral thousand dollars. It all depends on how unique the piece is, and how well it has been kept over the years ñ just make sure you arenít buying a modern cameo made of plastic if youíre looking for a true antique.
The cameo itself: First and foremost, youíll want to make sure that the cameo isnít made of plastic (a telltale sign that it isnít an antique). As eHow suggests, authentic antique cameos are typically made from shell, ivory, stone, lava, pearl, or another gemstone like onyx. Not sure if itís shell or plastic? If the back of the cameo isnít curved, then youíre probably not dealing with actual shell. Shell cameos typically date from the 18th century to the 20th century.
Because antique cameos are handmade, do some serious investigation if you see a bunch of them being sold together. Is the style and portrait exactly the same, down to the last detail? Then it was probably mass-produced during modern times.
The setting: See what material the setting is made of ñ is it white gold? Then itís probably pretty modern, at least 20th century. Is it brass, silver, copper, or gold-filled? Then itís probably much older. If it seems like the raised carving is glued to the background material, then it might be a fake ñ so youíll want to steer clear.
The portrait: Look for a lot of detail ñ antique pieces will be very precise and sharp in their detail, even down to individual hairs, while newer pieces are more dull. Also look at the face ñ bigger, straighter Roman noses indicate that the piece is mid-19th century or earlier, while smaller upturned noses are more modern, according to eBay.
Because cracks and damage ñ even if slight ñ can drastically reduce the value of the cameo, youíll want to avoid spending a lot of money on cameos with cracks or chips.The more that you see different cameos, the more youíll notice imperfections while also appreciating extreme detail and unique designs. If you can learn from someone who already collects cameos ñ or know a reputable dealer who can offer some tips ñ definitely take their advice to heart when shopping for these antiques.

Astronomers discover galaxies spin like clockwork

galaxy disk
galaxy rotation
Astronomers have discovered that all galaxies rotate once every billion years, no matter how big they are.
The Earth spinning around on its axis once gives us the length of a day, and a complete orbit of the Earth around the Sun gives us a year.
This Hubble image reveals the gigantic Pinwheel galaxy, one of the best known examples of "grand design spirals", and its supergiant star-forming regions in unprecedented detail. The image is the largest and most detailed photo of a spiral galaxy ever released from Hubble. Credit: ESA/NASA
"It's not Swiss watch precision," said Professor Gerhardt Meurer from the UWA node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR).
"But regardless of whether a galaxy is very big or very small, if you could sit on the extreme edge of its disk as it spins, it would take you about a billion years to go all the way round."
Professor Meurer said that by using simple maths, you can show all galaxies of the same size have the same average interior density.
"Discovering such regularity in galaxies really helps us to better understand the mechanics that make them tick—you won't find a dense galaxy rotating quickly, while another with the same size but lower density is rotating more slowly," he said.

Professor Meurer and his team also found evidence of older stars existing out to the edge of galaxies.
"Based on existing models, we expected to find a thin population of young stars at the very edge of the galactic disks we studied," he said.
"But instead of finding just gas and newly formed stars at the edges of their disks, we also found a significant population of older stars along with the thin smattering of young stars and interstellar gas."
"This is an important result because knowing where a galaxy ends means we astronomers can limit our observations and not waste time, effort and computer processing power on studying data from beyond that point," said Professor Meurer.
"So because of this work, we now know that galaxies rotate once every billion years, with a sharp edge that's populated with a mixture of interstellar gas, with both old and young stars."
Professor Meurer said that the next generation of radio telescopes, like the soon-to-be-built Square Kilometre Array (SKA), will generate enormous amounts of data, and knowing where the edge of a galaxy lies will reduce the processing power needed to search through the data.
"When the SKA comes online in the next decade, we'll need as much help as we can get to characterise the billions of galaxies these telescopes will soon make available to us."

Lorna Jordan's Terraced Self
The recently announced recipients of the 2008 Americans for the Arts Public Arts Network Awards include a work by Lorna Jordan called Terraced Cascade.
It's a xeriscaped park/abstraction of the human body.
Can't get much more direct than that.
It's a landscape of plants designed to utilize resources as efficiently as possible, with stormwater flowing down a ("spine-like") path into ("rib-like") terraced recesses. There are also pathways with seating areas, so the place can be appreciated as a pretty garden and as a functional work of art and as a metaphor for our connection to the Earth. Sounds like the next best thing to feeling spiritually connected to a piece of wilderness untouched by man. Plus it feeds your conceptual intellect. Ahem, I say: woot.
Terraced Cascade can be viewed at Chaparral Water Treatment Plant and Park in Arizona. Check out 4Culture for all the info.

Youngsters from across the world flock to Liverpool to brush up on their skills both on and off the pitch.
Every year thousands of football fans from across the world make a pilgrimage to Liverpool in order to watch the side in action, but now budding stars from across the world are heading to the city for a different reason - to brush up on their English language skills.
Liverpool Football Club's partnership with The Language Gallery is drawing the attention of young football fans from around the globe. The youngsters travel to bespoke training facilities a short distance from the stadium to benefit from both the world-class training and tailor-made English courses, using the international understanding of the sport to help them master the language.
So popular is the programme among children aged 12-17, that they are flocking not just from football heartlands in Spain, France and Italy - but also from China and the Middle East in order to get a flavour of British sport, get expert training and work on their English at the same time.
Nicolas Gabaldon Molina is one such student. His hometown of Valencia is football-mad, but he chose to come to Liverpool as the opportunities were just not available elsewhere. Nicolas says "In Spain, we all live and breathe football. I've played it all my life and dream of playing professionally one day- so the opportunity to train with coaches from one of the most famous clubs in the world is unbelievable.
"I like the way we talk through our exercises in English, so you hardly notice you're learning."
Ross Stuart Metherell, Director of Sports and Corporate Programmes at The Language Gallery, says: "Liverpool FC is an iconic club and cultural institution recognised around the world. By working with them in such a stimulating, challenging and engaging environment, we have the perfect chance to help young people improve both their language and sports skills with new friends. We offer something that isn't available elsewhere, and the calibre of our students is hugely impressive. It's great to work with students of all levels of footballing and linguistic ability, as everyone thrives from seeing the improvement they make over the programme. However the most important thing is that everyone gets involved and has a great time."
