Are You Ready to Become a Grandparent?
Article by Dr Lynda Shaw
The role and demands on grandparents are changing because of new socio-economic pressures, so whilst you're immersed in the anticipation and excitement of the new arrival, unexpected friction and conflict can often occur if you're not prepared, according to cognitive psychologist Dr Lynda Shaw.
"The role of the grandparents is ever changing. Baby boomer grandparents may take on a huge chunk of the childcare responsibilities whilst mums return to work, whether it's doing the school run, helping when the children are ill or stepping in to lend a hand during the school holidays. This is not new in society. But now and in the near future the sandwich generation will find themselves still working well into their sixties, both because they can and financially they have to, as well as looking after elderly parents. Therefore, like never before they can't or will struggle to take on the caregiver grandparent role too."
A second chance to create a positive impact
Although today's society plays huge part in the role of the grandparent, psychology theory of grand-parenting is important too. German-born American psychologist, Erik Erikson developed the Generativity versus Stagnation theory, which is typically associated with people who have reached midlife but who instinctively long to create a nurturing environment to support the development and growth of the next generation. For grandparents, they may view this time as a second chance to create a positive impact, a living legacy in the lives of their grandchildren through love and guidance with a hope that they can make a difference. Stagnation refers to those who find it difficult to contribute positively and who perhaps lack the ability to be involved and connect with others.
There are different sorts of grand-parenting personalities. Leading gerontologist Bernice Neugarten identified the core five patterns of grand-parenting as:-
Formal grandparent: follows what are believed to be the appropriate guidelines for the grand-parenting role including occasional services and maintaining an interest, but not being overly involved.
Fun seeker: primarily provides entertainment for the grandchild.
Surrogate parent: takes over the caretaking role for the child.
Reservoir of family wisdom: the head of the family who dispenses advice but also controls the parent generation.
Distant figure: has infrequent contact with the grandchildren, perhaps appearing on special occasions.
Ultimately having a baby is not just one of the greatest milestones for the parents themselves, but it is of huge significance for grandparents. Shaw says: "Having had many years raising their own children, adjusting to 'grandparent' status can take a little while and unfortunately, it's not always a bed of roses. Having already raised children of their own, grandparents are keen to pass on their knowledge and wisdom, but persistent advice and opinion are not always well received. New parents ultimately want the time and space to figure things out for themselves and to be the key decision makers and not be told how it should or shouldn't be done.
"By contrast, less confident parents can also become too dependent with help at hand and rely entirely on the grandparents for support, leaving them feeling unappreciated and taken for granted. Situations such as these can become awkward for both parties and if the ground rules are not set from the word go, this can lead to a fractured and unhappy relationship in the long run. A huge number of factors are involved in successful grand-parenting."
5 Top Tips for Expecting Grandparents:
1. Spoiling Them The job of a grandparent is all about the really good bits – shower them with as much love as possible, fun and enduring memories instead of mountains of gifts.
2. Two Hands Are Better Than One Looking after a new baby is all consuming and needs round the clock care and attention. Make yourself useful by offering to cook, do some household chores or run some errands. Your contribution is guaranteed to bring much relief and will be appreciate.
3. Give Them Space As exciting as it is that you want to be a hands-on grandparent, it's really important to be led by the parents and not to assume that they are always going to want your help. More often than not, new parents like to work things out for themselves and will ask for help when needed.
4. Don't Be Judgmental It's easy to voice your opinion especially when it's something you disagree with such as an obscure name you dislike or sleeping arrangements with their baby. Whatever the circumstance may be, he or she is after all their child and not yours. Go with the flow and best to keep your feelings to yourself.
5. The Perfect Bond We've all heard funny stories of babies crying uncontrollably when being held by certain people. If you're a grandparent and this happens to you, do not fret! Persevere with it – it takes time for babies to get used to people other than mum and dad.

Arun road closures: two for motorists to avoid this week
Worthing police incident - Pictures show forensics investigating at taped-off shop
Pensioner fined £100 for being in Worthing car park for 13 minutes
A pensioner has been fined £100 for parking in a Worthing car park for 13 minutes.
Wednesday, 19th September 2018, 6:54 pm
Updated Wednesday, 19th September 2018, 6:58 pm
Jeannette Frost from Ferring was given parking ticket after 13 minutes
Jeannette Frost from Onslow Drive, Ferring, was travelling to see award-winning violinist Nicola Benedetti at the Assembly Rooms on Sunday, September 2, when she entered the NCP-run car park in Union Place in Worthing town centre at 2.12pm.
She tried paying for parking, but after several failed attempts at using the machine she left the car park at 2.25pm and moved her car to the Guildbourne Centre multi-storey car park.
On Monday, she received a letter to say she had received a parking fine of £100, which she had to pay before October 11.
The 68-year-old said she had a 'rush of blood to her head' and her 'ears were throbbing because she was so scared' before reading how long she had been in the car park for.
She said: "If I wasn't being fined, I would laugh. I would think it is funny, but it isn't, because I'm being fined £100."
When she went to pay at the machine, she found the instructions to be unclear. She said she keyed in her registration number, followed by inserting her card, but claimed that at the end of the process it kept asking for her registration number again. She said this happened about seven or eight times, and all the while a queue built up behind her. When she asked for help, she said the other drivers could not work out what was going wrong.
She said: "I think the signage isn't clear; maybe it was a very high-tech person who wrote it in their own language. It isn't clear to the average person, it needs to be more idiot proof."
The widow said friends at her walking group had been 'horrified' by her experience and she will be appealing the decision.
An NCP spokesman said: "NCP has a grace period on this car park that allows customers to enter the car park and exit with no charge within 10 minutes of entering the car park.
"We are concerned to hear that the customer felt that the instructions were unclear as we have three payment machines on site with payment instructions on each machine.
"At the same time the customer was in the car park we had many other payments that were completed successfully.
"We always welcome people to appeal via the instructions on the PCN and, if an appeal is not overturned by us, then customers can also appeal via POPLA which is a totally independent appeals procedure that allows the customer a further opinion outside of NCP."

Firstly, the location of the hall is perfect, as it sits just next to the campus and near Hyde Park and Ethos. It is good for both studies and exercising. The hall itself does not contain much facilities, but common kitchen helps students to blend in the uni quickly. The common room in the basement provides good social chance for people as well. The room is simply flawless, big and quiet.
Excellent location in South Kensington. Lots of events organised by hall seniors and very diverse group of people.
Very near to the university which is great. Overall furniture is new. Rent is quite pricey compared to other uni halls but you get what you paid for.
It's super close to campus (5-min walk only!). Facilities are all very new and modern. We also got access to the Wilson Lounge. People are friendly but it's a bit expensive.
Great atmosphere and hall activities. Friendly hall seniors and large corridors enabled more socialising and opportunities to make friends. Need greater emphasis on keeping kitchens clean.
The location is fantastic! It is just across the road to Imperial College London entrance and so it is very convenient for me to go to university. Additionally, it is close to Hyde Park, and the South Kensington Station and so easy to travel. Also, the building is very new and modern and so the quality is at a very high standard.
Southside is in the perfect location right in the middle of South Kensington. Surrounded on all sides by the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, V&A Museum, Hyde Park and Royal Albert Hall. Halls are relatively new with fantastic furnishings and amenities. Bar, shop, and outdoor green areas a short walk away.
Honestly what makes a hall good it's in great measure the people you leave with, which is just luck. It is true though that south side is very convenient for being so near to uni and it's shared kitchen is quite good. Rooms are ok but they're a little bit better I'd say in other halls but there's not much difference tbh.
Located right next to the main South Kensington campus. So convenient can just roll out of bed. New so nicely designed. Has excellent facilities and regular cleaning. Many hall activities organised.
Ive been in halls and a hall senior for 4 years in total and I've never been bored in halls. The community of friends you form and the proximity to campus really adds to the university experience. I've made some friends for life.
within 5 minutes to campus, 10 minutes from Sainsbury's and waitrose, location doesn't get any better. facilities were top notch, clean and of high quality.
I absolutely love the location of South Kensington. It is very central the city of London and very close to some fantastic interactions. My lecture hall is a mere 5 minute walk from my room which is very useful for early morning lectures and not having to wake up really early. The social life is absolutely amazing with so many societys, so many that are so large and very fun to attend events of. I've especially enjoyed taking part in East Meets West. The common room in Southside is nice but it isn't open after 11 which is a common usage time for many students.
Great location, but not very sociable. Right next to South Ken campus so getting into uni every day took two minutes, but social spaces weren't very well used and lots of people spent all their time in their rooms. Rooms are a bit small but well maintained and all en suite which was nice. WiFi could be patchy.
Brilliant location right opposite uni, can get there within 5 minutes. Beautiful gardens in front, access to corner shop a minute away, a couple minutes walk to the gym. Meet lots of new friends and large kitchen to socialise in.
As a fresher staying in those help me settle in London, due to their perfect location in South Kensington and the 5 minute distance from Uni. Modern and spacious. Would really recommend them.
These halls although pricey are such an amazing experience! The rooms are such high quality that they are used as hotel rooms over the summer break. The social life obviously varies with people you live with but mine was amazing! I'd pick them again!
I've been able to meet some amazing people who share the same interests for science as I do. Being in a twin room has also forced me to talk and get out of my comfort zone which I'm really happy about. If anything isn't working, maintanence is quick to fix it making the experience easier for everyone.


This "shiny & sensuous" nightgown dates from the mid-1940s, and is one of Richard's special group of satins in the New Jersey 'HQ' of Silver Screen Loungerie! The gown is in mint-unworn condition, with no flaws that we could find. You will find this beauty in both the "Nightgowns" and "Richard's Collection" departments. Click on one of the 'Gloria' models to explore our special Boutiques!
The gown is modeled by size 33 'Gloria', who delights in the beautiful fit of this gown! (There are attached ties to snug in around the waistline.) The rayon satin fabric is the best of the late WW-2 era, and it's simply not made anymore. The cotton lace 'collar' in the bodice is something to be adored, and is a perfect contrast to the shiny blue satin fabric. There is no maker's label, but the 'Sonnenfeld's – St. Louis' store tag shows a price of only $1.59! The size tag indicates "36", but we measured a most-comfortable 38-plus inches around the bust.
Both the satin fabric and the lace are in mint condition, with no flaws of any kind. The gown is shown with a pink rayon satin bed jacket in two of the viewed images. This bed jacket is not included in the sale of the nightgown, but is available separately. Please email Richard at rreissig@aol.com for further information.
Truly one of our most stunning gowns, and eminently wearable by today's sirens of their own boudoirs!

Juno Livestream - A Look Back
|In Fun, Viral Seeding News
|By Mike
During the build up to Christmas 2016 Viral Seeding didn't intend on creating a piece of content to celebrate the festive season, but during our last team meeting of the year we simply thought 'why not?'
But what could we do in such little time? With mere days to go until we finished for the year, what could we pull together that would be interesting or fun or unique enough to get people watching and sharing?
Whenever anybody asks a question like that in the Viral Seeding office the answer will usually focus around Juno, our resident office dog who is there to keep our laps warm and warn us when the postman is about to arrive (seriously, she's like psychic or something). Juno has the biggest character in the office, so it is natural to turn to her in our time of need, and she is usually always more than accommodating to our wishes (with a few treats as bribes of course).
With an idea forming and time definitely not on our side, we realised producing edited content would be out of the question, and instead turned to the next best thing – streaming. So, Viral Seeding's Christmas 2016 Puppy Livestream was born. We set up a little set with a tree and a sign, plugged in a camera and helped Juno into her festive jumper. The stream went live just after 9am on 21st December 2016 (exactly one year ago to the day) and ran continuously for the next eight hours (with one or two little hiccups along the way).
Things started slow, with viewers flitting in and out, but after undertaking some outreach to key trade websites and social media influencers, by early afternoon we achieved 300+ live viewers, and more than 1500 total views.
Whilst the world continues to embrace influencer marketing, the campaign proved that traditional blog and website outreach still works as an effective tool. Coverage on both The Drum and LBB Online catapulted the viewers from a dozen into the hundreds, and whilst it was a simple idea it was cute and unique enough to hold those numbers until the stream ended at 5pm that evening.
It's common for brands and agencies to spend millions on their Christmas campaigns, and sometimes (but not always) that pays off, but we were able to create a last minute campaign which got people watching and kept people watching for zero budget. You don't always need the biggest, fanciest, most expensive video, you just need to ensure that you're targeting the right people.
With experience and knowledge of the industry, we knew exactly who to contact and how to contact them. We turned a quick idea into a successful project, all with very little budget and next to no time. It was a very nice way to end the year for Viral Seeding in 2016, and set us up for another great year in 2017.
The livestream is still available to watch online, so if you'd like to see some cute festive action, check out the video.
If you're planning any campaigns for 2018 then get in touch with Viral Seeding today and we will let you know how we can help you to go viral.

If you care about men, join the fight against male violence
By Clementine Ford
November 6, 2017 — 10.32pm
Last week, a young boy was taken to a Sydney hospital in critical condition after a brawl at a house party. Gatecrashers had allegedly come to blows with guests, with one of the former assaulting the teenager and inflicting life threatening head injuries.
On Saturday night, a man started a violent riot at a Melbourne bar. After being ejected by bouncers, the man called for backup from his friends and launched a vicious assault that put four of the security guards in hospital.
The following day, a young man took a semi-automatic weapon into a Texas church and opened fire, slaughtering at least 26 people and injuring 20 more. The victims ranged in age between 5 and 70 years
The massacre came just over a month after a man killed 58 people in a gun massacre in Las Vegas, leaving almost 600 more injured.
Discussion about gender-based violence is often met with "what about male victims?" Credit:Stocksy
The scale of these attacks may vary, but they are all linked by one common theme – men's violence against other men, or men's indiscriminate violence against generic groups of people.
I point this out because in the vital conversations had about men's violence against women, it has become standard to be met with opposition along the lines of, "What about the male victims of violence?"
Unfortunately, the people behind these arguments are only ever interested in a specific form of violence against men. That is to say, a domestic form meted out by women that can be then used to neutralise any progress currently being made on the problem of gender-based violence.
If we can pretend that women account for an equal number of perpetrators (which is statistically simply untrue), we can halt conversations about violence against women, and stop the women speaking out from committing the egregious sin of making men feel bad.

In 2013, Michael Roddan interviewed Dr Elspeth McInnes as part of a feature on myth-making and misogyny for The Citizen. In response to the question of "what about the men" following discussions of women's experience of violence, Dr McInnes replied, "Thank God you asked! I mean, it's a big problem, isn't it? One that no-one is really talking about.
"How do we get men to stop hurting other men, women and children? Like, oh my God, it'd be a different planet."
In a society that increasingly discards facts for feelings, it's easy for people to say that violence is a crime equally perpetrated by men and women, but the statistics simply don't support that statement.
As Jane Gilmore outlined, the 2013/14 Victoria Police crime stats on offenders showed that men were the perpetrators of:
87 per cent of homicides
98 per cent of sexual assaults
83 per cent of non-sexual assaults
90 per cent of robberies
92 per cent of abductions
The pettiest of pedants might argue against the use of four-year-old statistics to demonstrate current social trends, but a more rational mindset dictates the extreme unlikelihood of these numbers being totally overturned in such a short space of time. We are not seeing dramatic levels of retaliation against men occurring at the hands of women, nor are women responsible for the homicides of men in anywhere near equal numbers.
None of this is to pit men and women against each other or to characterise men as innately violent, no matter what outraged opponents might say. It is merely to point out the statistical reality of harm done to men and experienced by them; and to ask this vital question: how can that harm be minimised to the best of our ability so that men stop wounding or killing each other?
Because this is the fundamental truth, and it's pointless to continue looking away and pretending it doesn't exist.
A small proportion of men might be responsible for the majority of the world's worst violence, but they are men nonetheless and their actions have devastating consequences for the people and extended communities of those they harm - a considerable proportion of which will be other men.
It isn't misandry to want to talk about how we can prevent our sons from being punched in the back of the head or beaten while out having a celebration. Nor is it an attack on men to encourage gentle behaviour between men while critiquing the laddish displays of machismo that are so often heralded in this country as an example of red blooded masculinity.
Surely enough families have been woken in the middle of the night with the news their sons are on life support in hospital? And what of the families of those boys and men who put them there? Which do you think it would be more devastating to be – the parent of the boy killed by a single punch, or the parent of the boy who killed him?
This is not a problem that's going to go away by itself. It requires a massive cultural undertaking and a degree of honesty about how men are socialised in ways that can be extremely harmful.
We can do that work together, or we can bury our heads – and our sons – in the ground.

Talking Points: Crystal Palace Vs Manchester United, As Solskjaer's Undefeated Streak In The Premier League Continues
Atrayo Bhattacharya
A depleted Manchester United showed character and grit to brush aside Crystal Palace 1-3 at the Selhurst Park to keep their top four hopes alive. It was a stellar performance from Romelu Lukaku as he scored a brace. The Belgian broke the deadlock in the first half with Luke Shaw's scintillating assist. He came back in the second half to complete his brace, as the home side pulled one back via Joel Ward's solitary goal in the 66th minute. Ashley Young scored late in the dying exchanges to pile up the misery on Roy Hodgson's men.
Romelu Lukaku more than just a plan B for Solskjaer?
The big Belgian forward was tremendous with one of his best performances in the Premier League this season. The Red Devils were hindered with huge injury woes and yet they managed to dominate Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace at the Selhurst Park 1-3 and keep hopes of finishing in the top four positions alive.
It was a great piece of work from Luke Shaw who also brought his best game in a tricky situation and his cross from the left flank found Lukaku in space as the Belgian curled it past Tomkins and slots it home past the goalkeeper to give United the much-needed lead. His second goal came in the second half as Palace failed to clear a corner and Victor Lindelof's return delivery fell rightly on the path of Lukaku on the far post as he dodges past Schlupp to slot it past the keeper doubling the lead. It was Lukaku's best performance under Solskjaer and the Belgian made a statement that he can be trusted in difficult situations and is not an ordinary alternative for Manchester United.
Crystal Palace missed the presence of Mamadou Sakho in defence?
Manchester United were literally too much for the likes of Kelly and Tomkins as they struggled throughout the match to contain the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez in the final third. Roy Hodgson definitely missed his defensive mainstay Mamadou Sakho who is out with serious knee injury and is likely to miss the rest of the season. It will be a tough task ahead for the Eagles without their experience man in defence. Sakho is known for his aerial abilities and physical prowess and having him would have been an upper hand for Hodgson against the Lukaku. Both Tomkins and Kelly were beaten by his movement and strength which could have countered if they had someone of Sakho's calibre. It will be interesting to see how the manager sets his team for the next fixture.
Has Ole Gunnar Solskjaer done enough to stay at Old Trafford next season?
Things were not so great when the Norwegian joined the helm and even the fans did not expect a lot from their former player. However, wherever the Red Devils stand today is mainly because of the man who believed in his men and guided them throughout their journey of resurgence. It is rightly said that he has that DNA of Sir Alex Ferguson and he is definitely proving everyone right.
Solskjaer became the only Manchester United manager to win 8 consecutive away games in all competitions. He also got a staggering 26 points from his first 10 Premier League matches setting a new record for the league. He has now made the players, fans and everyone around the club believe that the Red Devils can finish in the top four positions which once seemed like a distant reality. Will he stay at Old Trafford is something that the board will decide but the fans are loving it as long as the Norwegian is at the wheel of the club.

Interview with Kid Millions (Oneida) + Oneida favorites picked by our readers
Read an email interview we conducted with Oneida drummer Kid Millions (aka Man Forever – nee John Colpitts). Subjects of conversation included his (currently inactive) Brah Records imprint, Yo La Tengo and the reasons why writers have a hard time finding words to describe Oneida's sound.
Check out Oneida's latest LP Romance (out on Joyful Noise Recordings), as well as self-titled LP by Charnel Ground (out on 12XU / featuring members of Codeine and Yo La Tengo) and Man Forever's 22.5.17 (out on Otoroku).
What was your reaction to this tweet?
Yo La Tengo – listening to Oneida (@oneida_official) on @vicenews ??? pic.twitter.com/m2ZdNDI1wo
— flannelraccoon (@flannelraccoon) March 15, 2018
Touched and honored! They are my friends and heroes. We didn't realize it when we started using Acetone organs in 1997 that Yo La Tengo used them pretty much exclusively as well. They aren't so common out there.
ATP all-day concert. How did that came about and how successful did the idea come off live? (submitted by Petridisch)
The idea of an all-day concert came together because Flaming Lips asked us to take part at their ATP curated festival but wanted us to do something special and unique. They proposed that we cover a Rush album or something like that. I can't quite remember. We refused that and proposed setting up in a room and playing all day. It's something we did as a band regularly without an audience so it seemed like it might be a cool thing to drift in and out of for the audience. Luckily they signed off on the idea and the Ocropolis was performed 4 times. It's a brutal experience and for us to do it again would require at least 10K. Any takers?
Repetition. How much of a role does it play in Oneida's music?
Well. . .that's probably a question for someone not in the band to answer. What do you think?
I noticed that people use terms like "motorik" or "repetitive" in relation to Oneida all the time.
OK – repetition. . .motorik. . .repetitive. . .I mean if you actually listen to Oneida albums you'll find that most of it is not this kind of music. . .certainly some and probably some of our most notorious songs fall into this designation – like "Sheets of Easter" say. . .and of course we're inspired by Kraut Rock. But it's just a simplification. It's hard to capture what Oneida is all about in a few words. It's a pain to be a writer describing Oneida b/c it's not easy. But writers aren't paid very well so they need to make shortcuts. That's fine.
People of the North. Is that project still active and given its two members of Oneida could it be thought of as an extension of the main band or is it a totally separate thing?
People of the North – well sure. . .we're active > NYCTaper
Our last album came out in 2016. I would say it's separate AND an extension. I always tell people if they loved Rated O – they should also pick up Deep Tissue – as it's an extension of that era of the band.
Brah Records. Is it still active? Can you tell us how the label came together and share a bit of its history?
Brah Records. . .that's a big question. It came together because Jagjaguwar decided not to release an album by the band Oakley Hall – which was led by ex-Oneida member Papa Crazee. We thought it was insane that they turned them down and were drunk in a bar lamenting it and I think we called one of the Jagjag dudes and left them a message insisting that they should give us a record label.
I went into work the next morning very hung over to an email from them calling our bluff. They gave us a label. We released about 20 things on it. . .all of them I still stand behind. All great stuff you can find streaming. It's kind of still active in spirit. . .but maybe not practically.
Any favorite release on Brah or anything you would like to highlight?
Well there are a lot of great records. . .they are all unheard basically. I produced Company's Old Baby so it's got more of a special place for me.
Last, but not least – we put together a little video playlist that combines cuts from records released on Brah as well as Oneida favorites picked by our readers!

Global warming: Are we the last generation?
by New Worker correspondent
ON GOOD FRIDAY around 15 youths — all aged under 17 years old — held a large banner with the words "Are we the last generation" on the pavement outside Heathrow airport in London. A heavy police presence stopped the teenagers from standing on the road.
No US trade deal if Good Friday Agreement falters
by Xuxin Xinhua
THERE WILL be no chance of a US—British trade agreement if the Brexit deal undermines the Good Friday Agreement, including, but not limited to, the seamless border between Ireland and northern Ireland, said a top US politician in Dublin last week.
Crossrail woes
AT LEAST the Underground and Overground are actually up and running — after a fashion. The same cannot be said about Crossrail, London's new east-west railway link, which has already passed its planned opening date of last December and has now been delayed to 2021.
SOME 31,000 members of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW), based in more than 240 Stop & Shop stores across New England, returned to work on Monday after an 11-day strike. This took place after months of fruitless negotiations. The strike was for better pay and to maintain that often unaffordable luxury in the "land of the free" — health insurance
The Scottish TUC
by our Scottish political affairs correspondent
IT IS a little known fact that the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) held its annual meeting in Dundee last week. Only that elect band who are Morning Star readers would have noticed the event was even taking place. The only mainstream media coverage was to report the fact that the first Minister dropped by to give one of her standard speeches for trade unionists and for The Times to report a predictable rift over the military industries. Once upon a time, and not so long ago, Her Majesty's Loyal Press Regiment (Labour Correspondents Battalion) would descend on the event to record every word and where necessary show readers just how dangerous trade unionists were to national security and civilisation.
Vietnamese woman reaches academic success
"WHAT is behind such high mountains?" The innocent question used to appear regularly in the mind of Dr Ngân Lương (Emily Ngan Luong), a member of the Tày ethnic minority group, whilst she was a little girl walking through mountains to the local primary school in a very poor and remote area in the northern province of Cao Bằng
Scotland's newest museum draws the crowds
by Mu Xuequan
SCOTLAND'S newest museum, the V&A Dundee, welcomed its 500,000th visitor last month, hitting the milestone six months earlier than expected. Scotland's first design museum, which opened last September, has vastly exceeded original visitor estimates that forecast it would take 12 months to reach half a million visitors.
Easter Sunday attacks kill nearly 300
by Jorge Ruiz Miyares
NEARLY 300 people were killed in Sri Lanka and more than 500 injured after a series of bomb attacks tore through churches and luxury hotels across the island nation on Sunday. A first round of deadly attacks hit busy Easter services at Catholic churches in the heart of Sri Lanka's minority Christian community in and around the capital Colombo, as well as a Protestant church in the eastern city of Batticaloa.

Washington and organised state terrorism
by Sharif Al-Khatib
US PRESIDENT Donald Trump today embodies American bullying with all its aggressiveness. This political 'dealer' knows nothing about the ways of international diplomacy apart from those that expose the aggressive mentality inherent in successive American administrations.
Cubans celebrate Bay of Pigs victory
by Ed Newman
LAST WEEK Cuba celebrated the 58th anniversary of the victory at Playa Girón — also known as the Bay of Pigs — when the people mobilised in defence of the Revolution and defeated a mercenary brigade at the service of the USA.
Venezuelan right wing runs out of cards to play
by Marco Teruggi
FOR THE THIRD time since January, the USA has convened a meeting of the United Nations (UN) Security Council to address the issue of Venezuela. The goal this time was to get Juan Guaidó recognised as the country's interim president. US Vice President Mike Pence, representing the first government to take the floor, proposed this goal: "The time has come for the United Nations to recognise Interim President Juan Guaidó as the legitimate president of Venezuela and seat his representative in this body."
The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre at Amritsar
TML (Canada)
The criminals responsible for the crime have yet to be brought to justice. The 13th April 1919. The festival of Baisaki, the Sikh New Year. On this day, 100 years ago, the British opened fire on men, women and children in Amritsar, massacring more than 1,000 and injuring many more. The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre went down in history as one of the most heinous crimes of British rule. Today the site commemorates all those who were murdered there under British orders.
Still dreaming in Miami
by Ed Newman Radio
AFTER three months of threats and making an appearance on two separate stages — the State Department, in Washington DC, and a theatre in Miami — the Donald Trump administration has finally announced what it intends to do to intensify its economic war against Cuba.
Lenin: Marxism and Reformism
Published in Pravda Truda on 12th September 1913
UNLIKE the anarchists, the Marxists recognise struggle for reforms, ie for measures that improve the conditions of the working people without destroying the power of the ruling class. At the same time however, the Marxists wage a most resolute struggle against the reformists, who, directly or indirectly, restrict the aims and activities of the working class to the winning of reforms. Reformism is bourgeois deception of the workers, who, despite individual improvements, will always remain wage-slaves as long as there is the domination of capital

Intelligence and interoperability
Connectivity27 Apr 2017
The Thread Group and CABA want to educate industry stakeholders and consumers about the advantages of interoperability
The two groups will exchange information on intelligent building issues and plans
Industry alliance the Thread Group has entered into a reciprocal agreement with the not-for-profit Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA) to advance intelligent buildings and connected home technologies.
Thread is an Internet of Things (IoT) networking protocol and the Thread Group's goal is to enable interoperability in the IoT market, while CABA promotes open standards for connectivity in homes and buildings. The leadership of both groups agreed that increased collaboration would further their mutual objectives and enable them to add value to their memberships.
This agreement focuses on sharing information and working together on issues that matter to both organisations. Specifically, CABA and the Thread Group can now establish forums and exchange information on connected home and intelligent building issues and plans, and share information on key topics affecting the development and implementation of home and building automation.
"CABA and the Thread Group are both committed to enhancing interoperability within connected homes and buildings, and we believe that this liaison agreement will enable both organisations to help propel this shared vision forward," said Grant Erickson, president of the Thread Group. "We're excited to collaborate with CABA and their membership, and look forward to unlocking new opportunities together."
Ronald J Zimmer, CABA president and CEO, said one of the most crucial functions of CABA is to educate industry stakeholders and consumers about the advantages of interoperability in connected homes and intelligent buildings and hopes the agreement will advance this goal.
CABA has an international membership of over 330 organisations, including utilities and government, involved in the design, manufacture, installation and retailing of products relating to home automation and building automation.
Thread is backed by industry-leading companies including ARM, Big Ass Solutions, Johnson Controls, Nest Labs, NXP Semiconductors, OSRAM, Qualcomm, Schneider Electric, Silicon Labs, Somfy, and Yale Security. Since opening its membership in October 2014, companies from around the world and across all aspects of the expansive and connected technology sector have joined the Thread Group to collaborate on the best way to connect and control devices.

The last few months have seen a raft of new evidence which clearly shows how much of an impact air pollution has on public health.
The details are serious. It is estimated 2,500 deaths in Scotland each year are directly caused by breathing poor air.
Traditionally a problem for those with lung problems, the latest research shows both short and long-term exposure to pollutants is also damaging to the heart and blood vessels, increasing the likelihood of both heart disease and stroke.
Research at the University of Edinburgh by Professor David Newby, Dr Mark Miller and others, supported by £7m investment by the British Heart Foundation (BHF), found that ultra-thin PM2.5 particles, such as those found in diesel fumes, have become associated with increasing the likelihood of heart attack by 13 per cent.
The particles are so thin they bypass the lungs and directly enter the blood vessels.
The link between poor air and mortality provided the backdrop to Holyrood's recent roundtable event in association with the BHF, which brought together researchers with campaigners and third sector organisations to discuss how Scotland might be made aware of the severity of the issue.
The Clean Air Act of 1956, brought in to tackle industrial smog, was an environmental milestone but Newby pointed out it was also associated with a marked drop in ill-health. "So we know if you legislate to reduce air pollution it reduces death, it reduces adverse health effects," he said, using the smoking ban in public places as another example.
Modern pollution, however, is different because the particles are so small. Using controlled exposure studies in Northern Sweden and Edinburgh, Newby and his team discovered blood vessels react differently to the particles, making blood clots more likely. "All of these things contribute to the belief this is causal, not just an association," he said.
With traffic pollution a major contributor, spikes in heavily congested traffic were recorded at up to four or five times higher inside the car than outside, although cyclists, who breathe more deeply, will also get an equivalent level of harmful particles. Pedestrians are also affected, particularly very young children at pushchair height.
Although Edinburgh benefits from being near the sea, and Glasgow from being rainy, Newby suggested, both factors which kept air pollution down, levels were still high enough to be of concern.
Campaigner Mic Starbuck, a facilitator for the Royal Society for the Arts in Glasgow wellbeing network, has felt the very real effects of these levels. Diagnosed with asthma as a child, he enrolled at Strathclyde University in 1969 and has watched the transition in air quality since.
"There was still the big old-fashioned smogs, as opposed to the modern smogs the professor has been describing. Survived those fine, no trouble at all. Coughed up the black stuff, got rid of it, no trouble. Played hockey for my district, trial for Scotland, fit as a fiddle.
He describes himself therefore as "an example" of how air pollution has changed, describing how he has developed cardiovascular disease which has affected his nervous system. He has become acutely sensitive to his environment as a "citizen scientist", he said, suffering when exposed to central heating outlets on homes, fumes from fast-food takeaways and in train and bus stations when diesel engines are left running.
Glasgow city centre, he said, could sometimes prove too much. "You can taste it, you can feel it in your eyes, you can't breathe, you just have to grab a taxi or whatever you can and get the hell out of there," he said.
James Cant, director of the BHF in Scotland, said the increased recognition of how people were being affected highlighted a need for a "strategic" approach from local and central government. The British Lung Foundation's Scotland director Irene Johnstone agreed, and said air pollution needed to be prioritised across every government department.
"It's really important air pollution isn't seen to be the problem of one department or of one single source. It should be addressed across every single government department in Scotland, be it health, housing, the environment and I think if they are going to reach their 2020 targets, one of the things we've asked for is evidence of what these different departments are going to do to look at it," she said.
In fact, the Scottish Government's record on the basics is patchy. It continues to break European legal clean air standards six years after the deadline. The 2020 targets, laid out in the latest 'Cleaner air for Scotland' strategy, seem a long way off.
The focus on traffic was largely agreed around the table, but there were warnings about the blunt use of targets. "Often targets are set very nobly and for all the right reasons but whether or not they're implemented or breached is usually a different thing. I think it's for bodies like ourselves and the British Heart Foundation to keep that pressure on in that regard," said Johnstone.
John Lauder, national director at Sustrans Scotland, which works to enable more journeys using bicycle or walking, or 'active travel', said one such target is to have ten per cent of functional trips to be made by bicycle by 2020. The current figure is only two per cent. Around 16 policies to encourage walking and cycling had not been translated into action, he said.
"The evidence from round the tables is that departments are not working across government. They're just isolated in silos. For eighty years, you could argue, transport has revelled in being in its own silo," he said.
Cycling campaigner Sally Hinchcliffe from Pedal on Parliament agreed. "We've never had a target to reduce car use, as far as I know. The target has been to increase walking and cycling, but that could be round the block," she said.
According to Friends of the Earth, there are no new transport actions in 'Cleaner Air for Scotland' which would seriously cut pollution levels on streets.
Hinchcliffe questioned whether the orthodoxy of the economic benefit of private car use was a sound case. "In the current climate, to hear one of the Scottish Government stand up and say 'we want to reduce the use of the private car' – I can't imagine that happening," she said.
Johnstone agreed the approach should be nuanced. "Focusing on one element like cars is always going to be provocative but I don't think we should shy away from it. We didn't shy away from reducing the amount people can drink before they drive a car because that was a danger to their health, and we didn't shy away from smoking.
"In all of that people said, 'we're very nervous about entering into that sphere' because they thought it was to do with the nanny state, but there are ways you can position these arguments where it's not about enforcing a change, enforcing car use, it's about enforcing behavioural change," she said.
Improving the cycling infrastructure was raised by Newby and Hinchcliffe. "Forty years ago the Dutch started to do this. They made all the mistakes, they fixed the problems and they're still improving their network and the result is 25 per cent journeys by bike, 50 per cent in some cities, 60 per cent in some cities. It's really clear," said Hinchcliffe.
Getting buy-in from local authorities, especially when budgets are squeezed, can prove difficult, however. Starbuck pointed to how the road haulage industry had piled pressure on Glasgow council over the Commonwealth Games infrastructure. "Yes, we need to get goods in and out of our cities, we don't want our shopping centres to collapse, but we need to solve that," he said.
Lauder said he had experienced a varied response from local politicians, including one "very fickle" senior councillor. "For me, the best local authorities to work with are the ones with strong leadership. Good clear leadership from the top, he said. Of Scotland's £2bn transport budget, one and a half per cent is spent on active travel, he pointed out.
Fintan Hurley, scientific director at the Institute of Occupational Medicine, said he "strongly supported" moves to active travel, and suggested it should be backed up with a public transport system which provided people with options. "Exhorting on car use won't work. There has to be infrastructure that allows people to shift," he said.
Miller pointed to how Lothian Buses had won awards for its use of low emissions vehicles. "I would believe it's had some commercial success from those, from the advertising saying these are good," he said.
"It's worth speculating whether Edinburgh's bus fleet is better and better driven because it's publicly owned," suggested Lauder, pointing out Scotland's reputation as a bus manufacturer.
Hurley said health policies need to be aligned with policies to tackle climate change, and vice versa, pointing to the example of how a push to use diesel vehicles has now been proven to harm public health.
"Some of these things are win-wins, and some of them aren't. Diesel was one that wasn't. Good for climate change, bad for public health. Biomass is similar," he said. Cant said the push toward the use of biomass energy was "a very loose definition of the term environmental" because of its environmental and physical impact.
Hurley added: "Checking the unintended effects are really important and I think these things have to be looked at holistically, with a real aim to get the win-wins.
Ruaraidh Dobson, of the Scottish Centre for Indoor Air at the University of Aberdeen, said a similar thing had happened with changes in ventilation in homes to drive up energy efficiency which had led to much poorer indoor energy quality.
For Starbuck, it is about arming people with information, allowing them to see the quality of the air they are breathing. This would be helped, he said, by replacing the current 'traffic light' approach, which bases itself on average readings and can be deceptive. "Do not believe the colours on any of these maps, be it European, Defra or our own that we're paying a lot of money for. Kick it around and come up with a more sensible answer," he suggested.
Encouraging governments to take a joined-up approach could start with the formation of a cross-party group, it was suggested, which could look at investing more in active travel, green spaces and educating people about the dangers of poor air pollution, particularly to vulnerable people such as children and the elderly, and people who are already sufferers such as Mic Starbuck.
"If we're taking them on a journey, we hope it's one of active travel," said Hurley.

How North West and Friends Do Easter Weekend Beauty

Between Harper Beckham's sun-bleached waves and Seoul Fashion Week's pint-sized street style stars this week, who could be blamed for feeling tempted to take a picture of a kid to the salon? Here to save us from judgment: North West and friends, who celebrated Easter early this year with hair inspiration too good to pass up—but, crucially, easy enough to create without getting your stylist involved.
The part-time ballerina was spotted on Snapchat today with her cousin, Penelope Disick, as well as another well-coiffed buddy, enjoying a hayride with a trio of devastatingly on-point hairstyles that has us determined to get our bedhead act together: a slim fishtail braid that was woven down the middle and wrapped into a chic knot; a winningly off-kilter high ponytail; and, in the case of fashion's first toddler, a cloud of free-flowing curls. A sign that, with or without the bunny ears, fashion's new focus on individuality is resonating with all ages? When you're about to meet the Easter Bunny, honestly, who cares.

Here Hear
June 20, 2015 - October 11, 2015
Upper Galleries
In the spring, summer, and fall of 2015, Cranbrook Art Museum and Detroit served as the backdrop for Nick Cave's most ambitious project to date – Nick Cave: Here Hear. At the invitation of Cranbrook Art Museum, Cave staged seven months of events throughout the city of Detroit anchored by his first solo exhibition at Cranbrook Art Museum. Cave is a 1989 graduate of Cranbrook Academy of Art. Cave has said that the time he spent in Detroit was critical to his growth as an artist. He returned to capture the positive energy currently enveloping the city. "Detroit continues to be an always-surprising environment of creativity, excitement, and engagement," says Cave. In Detroit, he launched his largest performance series ever. His Soundsuits invaded the city for a series of photo shoots; he staged Dance Labs in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD); he worked with LBGTQ youth and young adults from the Ruth Ellis Center to create Up Right: Detroit, a performance filmed in the city; and he engaged students from the Detroit School of Arts and the Detroit RiverFront Conservancy to produce Heard•Detroit, a procession of 30 life-size horse sculptures operated by 60 high school dancers who will paraded and performed along Detroit's riverfront. Cave's project culminated at the end of the exhibition in October, when the artist staged Figure This: Detroit, a massive public performance at Detroit's Masonic Temple.
Cranbrook Art Museum served as the producer for the entire Nick Cave project, and was home to the exhibition Nick Cave: Here Hear, that included a 7,000-square-foot exhibition of Soundsuits, recent sculptures, and newly commissioned artworks. The exhibition was on view from June 20 through October 11, 2015. A full weekend of celebrations occurred for the exhibition opening, including a film screening and block party performances in Detroit's Brightmoor community on June 21. Nick Cave: Here Hear is curated by Laura Mott, Curator of Contemporary Art and Design at Cranbrook Art Museum.
Soundsuit Invasion Photo Shoots
April and May 2015
Soundsuit Invasion Photo Shoots featured the artist Nick Cave being photographed in Soundsuits at iconic Detroit locations. The photographs were published as a book titled Nick Cave: Greetings From Detroit—inspired by vintage postcards—depicting the city of Detroit from the perspective of creative positivity. The book was designed by Bob Faust, photographed by Corine Vermeulen with an essay by Laura Mott.
Locations: Dequindre Cut, Brightmoor, the Parade Company, Mexicantown, the African Bead Museum, Eastern Market, The Fisher Building, One Woodward, Mike Kelly Homestead at MOCAD, Cranbrook, Masonic Temple, and the Michigan Automotive Plant.
Brightmoor Community Events
The Redford Theatre and The Artist Village
The day after Nick Cave: Here Hear opened to the public at Cranbrook Art Museum, a celebration was held in Detroit to kick-off this ambitious project. There was a screening of Nick Cave's video work at the historic Redford Theatre. The screening was followed by a celebration at The Artist Village Detroit – filled with food, music, and dancers in Soundsuits, who joined the party in an impromptu flash-mob. The event is a collaborative effort with the Sidewalk Festival of Performing Arts and engaged the Brightmoor, Old Redford and Northwest Detroit communities.
2-3pm: Screening of Nick Cave video work at the Redford Theatre.
3pm: Gabriel Brass Band and dancers will lead a procession of the audience from the theatre into Artist Village.
3-4pm: Gabriel Brass Band performs in the large courtyard of the Artist Village.
4-4:45pm: Passalacqua performs
5-5:45pm: Tunde Olaniran performs
Performances by dancers in soundsuits occured throughout the afternoon. Free and open to the public.
Nick Cave: Here Hear
Cranbrook Art Museum Upper Galleries
June 20 to October 11, 2015
Nick Cave is a prolific artist and dancer, famous for his sculptures called Soundsuits, which he often stages in public spectacle. The artist conceives some as fragile sculptural totems, and others as wearable performance suits designed for sound, mobility, and dance. Though influenced by a vibrant palette of African art, armor, found objects, fashion, and textile design, the origin of the Soundsuit is rooted in social critique. Cave first created a suit in the aftermath of the Rodney King beating in 1991, envisioning an emotional shield that protected one's race or gender while still expressing individuality. As Cave's artwork began to resonate with vast audiences, the artist saw the Soundsuits as powerful agents to capture the public imagination on a monumental scale. Cave's artistic practice now advocates the vital importance of collective dreaming, which he actualizes through large-scale performances.
Here Hear includes a collection of approximately thirty sculptural Soundsuits in the main gallery arranged in a dynamic vignette. It also includes a room of seven newly commissioned artworks surrounded by a new site-specific wall-based tapestry inspired by Cave's childhood watching the night sky. An additional gallery will feature a selection of his recent sculpture work and a separate area will display the artist's video work. Finally, the "Map in Action" room will serve as a hub for the Detroit Performance Series and display the wearable Soundsuits that will come and go to performances throughout the city of Detroit. Video footage of the performances will be added to the room throughout the duration of the show, thereby becoming a living document of the entire project.
Nick Cave: Here Hear is curated by Laura Mott, Curator of Contemporary Art and Design at Cranbrook Art Museum.
Dance Labs
Rehearsals at MOCAD and final performances in Detroit.
July 13 to August 1, 2015
Cranbrook Art Museum partnered with the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD) to present three Dance Labs designed by Nick Cave. He paired three local dance companies with three musicians to create their own choreographed works with his extraordinary sculptures. The rehearsals at MOCAD were open to viewers, and the three public performances were staged in locations throughout the city.
Public performance schedule:
The Ruth Ellis Center
Highland Park, MI
Choreographer: Marcus White
Musician: DJ John Collins
The Dequindre Cut (under the East Lafayette overpass)
Choreographer: Biba Bell
Musician: Frank Pahl
Friday, July 31, 6:30-7:30 pm (Free Admission)
Campus Martius
Held in conjunction with the Campus Martius beach party event.
Choreographer: Hardcore Detroit
Musician: Odu Afrobeat Orchestra
Dance Lab rehearsals took place at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit and were open to viewing by the public.
Up Right: Detroit
World Film Premiere
Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History
The exclusive world film premiere of Nick Cave's Up Right: Detroit took place on September 24, 2015 at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History. All proceeds from the event benefited Cranbrook Art Museum education programs.
Up Right: Detroit is a short feature film conceived by Nick Cave as an "act of initiation" and a preparation of the mind, body, spirit, and selfhood of a group of young adults from the Ruth Ellis Center. The participants undergo a ritual of being costumed in elaborate soundsuits and enter the city, transformed. Filmed at the historic Michigan Theatre.
The evening included an opening reception with Cave, the film premiere, and a Q&A with Nick Cave and Curator Laura Mott following the film.
Heard•Detroit
Milliken State Park, Detroit
As a continuation of his performance series, Cranbrook Art Museum presented Nick Cave's Heard•Detroit on Saturday, September 26 at Milliken State Park in Detroit.
Working in partnership with the Detroit RiverFront Conservancy and the Michigan DNR Outdoor Adventure Center, the project featured 30 life-size horse sculptures performing along the Detroit riverfront. The sculptures were operated by 60 dancers from the Detroit School of Arts and the Maggie Allesee Department of Theater and Dance at Wayne State University. According to Cave, the project was intended to be "a dreamlike vision that stops everyday life for a collective transformative moment."
March – October 2015
Drawing inspiration from Cave's Soundsuits, Cranbrook Art Museum has created educational programs for teachers, school groups, and individual students. Teachers will have access to a free, interdisciplinary curriculum featuring videos of Nick Cave discussing his art, the creative process, and identity of self and place: Nick Cave: Exploring Identity through the Arts. School groups can attend The Costume Cave Workshop, creating their own costume pieces. Individual students can register for Nick Cave inspired Summer Programs. As part of the education series, selected classes will be invited to participate in Nick Cave's Figure This: Detroit and perform live!
Figure This: Detroit
Detroit Masonic Temple
The project culminated with Figure This: Detroit, a large-scale performance comprised of the dances and music from the Dance Labs and a presentation by children of their Cave-inspired creations. This final performance was a free event in Detroit's Masonic Temple for an audience of hundreds.
The event featured performances from Marcus White/White Werx, DJ John Jammin Collins, Biba Bell, Frank Pahl, Hardcore Detroit, the ODÙ Afrobeat Orchestra and concluded with a performance by Tunde Olaniran.
Figure This: Detroit also included the premiere of two films by The Right Brothers: "Up Right: Detroit" and a special recording of "Heard•Detroit."
Nick Cave: Here Hear was organized by Cranbrook Art Museum and curated by Laura Mott, Curator of Contemporary Art and Design. Cranbrook Art Museum is supported, in part, by its membership organization, ArtMembers@Cranbrook; the Museum Committee of Cranbrook Art Museum; and the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts.
This project has attracted a wide variety of sponsors and community partners who are eager to share Cranbrook Art Museum's vision of spreading creative positivity throughout Detroit. The Presenting Sponsors are the Ford Foundation and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and their Knight Arts Challenge Detroit project, which looks to fund ideas that engage and enrich Detroit through the arts. Cranbrook Art Museum received a Knight Arts Challenge Detroit matching grant of $150,000 to kick-off this ambitious project. Leadership Sponsors include Quicken Loans with their Opportunity Detroit mission and The Kresge Foundation. The project's Major Sponsor is The Taubman Foundation. Supporting Sponsors include Strategic Staffing Solutions, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts, the Masco Corporation Foundation, Maggie and Bob Allesee, and the Jack Shainman Gallery.

If you had a time machine, where would you go, and who would you meet?
I thought I had a good plan.
Okay, so I was arguing with this guy, online. I was saying how stupid the idea of time travel was: even if you could travel through time, the galaxy would move out from under you. You'd end up miles out in space or miles underground, and I have no idea which would be worse. My opponent sent me a link to a website claiming to give a step by step instruction for making a working time machine. Ludicrous, of course, but he wouldn't concede the argument unless I tried it in good faith.
I'm too stubborn for my own good. I knew making a time machine out of junk laying around in my garage was idiotic, but if some jerk needed me to do that in order to have sense beaten into his head, fine, I can waste some time. I did find it strange that a 1983 BMW 5 series was needed for spare parts; not so much because of the type of car, but because I actually had one of those sitting in my garage slowly turning into rust. Ski bindings, copper wire, a flippin' Total Gym… I had them all in there. I worried that the idiot on the other end of the argument was stalking me, but if he was, he'd just see that I was going through with the experiment.

Q: Efficiently inserting a decimal in perl string I came across code:
sub insertDecimal
{
        my $number = shift;
        my $sigDigRight = shift;

        if ($number =~ /\./) { return ($number); }
        elsif (length $number < $sigDigRight) { return ($number); }
        else
        {
                my $leftSide = substr($number, 0, (length $number)-$sigDigRight);
                my $rightSide = substr($number, (length $number)-$sigDigRight, );

                return ($leftSide . "." . $rightSide);
        }
}

And I hoped to improve/re-write as:
sub insertDecimal
{
        my ($number, $sigDigRight) = @_;

        return $number if index ($number, '.') != -1 or length $number < $sigDigRight;

        # YES! substr takes an LVALUE ... perldoc it for more :)
        substr($number, -$sigDigRight, 0) = '.';

        return $number;
}

I was very surprised that a run of some 74mm records had almost no improvement at all with 2nd version.
Questions:

*

*Anyone to overflow with better way to make insertDecimal more efficient ?

*How come I see no improvement, at all (just one minute better on 74MM records) ?

*If Perl compiler is re-jiggering the code of the first version to be more efficient, is there anyway I can see the improved path to execution that Perl has chosen ?

A: Both routines would seem to do essentially the same amount of work:

*

*scan $number for a single character (any compiler ought be able to reduce that regex match to an index)

*compare the length of $number to a limit

*possibly insert a single character somewhere within $number
Using lvalue substr (or, just taking advantage of the fourth argument to substr) may make the insertion a little more efficient, but, after all, things will have to be moved.
To my eye, the biggest opportunity for optimization comes from moving the length check ahead of the check for the decimal point.
I would be tempted to re-write your routine as
sub insertDecimal {
    my ($number, $sigDigRight) = @_;

    return $number if length($number) < $sigDigRight;
    return $number if index($number, '.') >= 0;

    substr($number, -$sigDigRight, 0, '.');

    $number;
}

I find simple decisions and short lines to be easier to understand. I do not think this should change the correctness of the function.
An ugly alternative is:
sub gah {
    my ($number, $sigDigRight) = @_;

    my $n = length($number) - $sigDigRight;
    return $number unless $n > 0;

    $number =~ s{\A ([^.]{$n}) ([^.]+) \z}{$1.$2}x;
    $number;
}

That combines the check for . with the replacement operation.
Again, I cannot be certain this is correct wrt your spec, but it is something for you to explore.
I probably would not opt for gah unless the improvement was more than 20% of something that took at least an hour or so. On my system, it slows down a simple example by 1,000%.


In this brief text we propose to discuss a few aspects of the research that we are performing in the History Department at Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, Unisinos (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil), which aims to discuss the work done by the Rockefeller Foundation to train public health professionals in the first decades of the 20th century and their relationship with the development of institutions and public health policies in Brazil. This was done mainly by granting fellowships through which the North American institution sought to disseminate ideas and models. By performing a prosopographical study whose subjects are the 88 Brazilian fellows of the International Health Division (IHD) belonging to the Rockefeller Foundation, between 1917 and 1951, it will be possible to discuss, among other aspects, the process by which the Foundation selects the people who are to receive the fellowships and their profile, as well as their professional career, taking into account the objectives of the fellowships mentioned above.

Jason was born in Garland, TX and raised in Bonham. He came to work at Pecan Place in Bonham, TX as a maintenance technician in July 2004. When the manager transferred to another property in March 2005, Jason was persuaded by residents and staff to become the manager.
Within less than a year of accepting this position, Jason was challenged with major foundation problems at five of Pecan Place's buildings. Texas had been in a seriously long drought, causing the foundations to sink. The sinking caused very large gaps and buckling between the buildings' roofs and walls that many of the units were not habitable. After all foundation repairs had been completed in the spring of 2006, Jason was faced with 26 vacancies out of 39 units. This was quite a challenge, considering Pecan Place is in a rural area of North Texas.
After only modest success in securing referrals, he implemented the idea of inviting everyone to Pecan Place to see it for themselves. So, in the fall of 2007, he held an open house and community health fair at Pecan Place. It was such a huge success, that the open house is now an annual autumn event. By March 2008, Pecan Place was again 100% occupied and financially stable.
His regional manager Thuy Hoang writes, "Jason embodies all the qualities that we look for in a successful manager. His knowledge and experience with various maintenance tasks enable him to problem solve efficiently and work closely with outside contractors. He understands fiscal responsibility and the prioritization of what needs immediate attention. In addition to all his skills, I would like to note Jason's most admirable quality, his integrity. 'Doing the right thing all of the time' is a phrase that could best describe this person of high moral character." The residents of Pecan Place enthusiastically endorsed his nomination.
RHF is pleased to recognize Jason Castle as 2009 Manager of the Year.

On the night that actor Arthur Leander drops dead during a performance of King Lear, the Georgia Flu starts killing off 99% of the population. Jumping back and forth through time, the novel explores the impact of loss and the domino effect that others may have on our lives and on the world around them.
•	Sci-Fi / Dystopian genre lovers
•	Anyone interested in giving post-apocalyptic reading a chance.
•	Lovers of characters belonging to an acting troupe.


Tell them they are creative no matter what anyone tells them.
They are enough without changing themselves.
The world needs them to be strong and stay true to themselves, despite the mixed messages of our culture.
I heard so many voices and saw so many faces –unknown to me, but known by my heart as real people who care deeply. I dreamed about all the amazing people who visit this site in my community, across North Carolina, around the US and around the world. Many of you may not have a daughter but I know you still care about girls and have something important to say to them.
I woke up feeling restless. All day today I have thought about my dream and the visitors that find our site. I've been trying to figure out what it means. Dreamtime combined with awake thinking has led me to recognize that EVERYONE has something valuable to say to girls of today, girls who come to my program, AND to girls around the world.
I will gather all the submissions, post them, and when we have lots, I'll make a collage or create some type of visual that I can share here on the site and on the Creative GIRL Facebook page. I will also come up with a way that every girl receives your messages, either in a book or big letter.


KTR Promotions in Venice Beach & Los Angeles California: November 21st, 2015, "Mirrors of the Mind 4: The Psychotherapist as an Artist" opens at Art Share LA.
November 21st, 2015, "Mirrors of the Mind 4: The Psychotherapist as an Artist" opens at Art Share LA.
On Saturday, November 21, 2015 "Mirrors of the Mind 4: The Psychotherapist as an Artist" opens at Art Share LA. Presented by the Community Outreach Committee of the Los Angeles County Psychological Association, this event celebrates its fourth year. Artists have been chosen via a juried selection process. The jurors are: Robert Bilder PhD, James Catterall PhD, Rebecca Catterall, and Gus Harper.The event will also feature poetry and music.
The Los Angeles Psychological Association (LACPA) represents licensed psychologists within Los Angeles County by responding to the mental health needs of the community. Its purposes are to advance the science and profession of psychology and promote human welfare while educating the public about psychological issues.
This year's event will feature work from Dr. Stuart Perlman. A psychoanalyst, psychologist and artist, Perlman has become well known for his powerful paintings of the homeless. Dr. Perlman reminds us that these individuals, too, are to be valued: "If we can see into their faces and learn their stories -- their hopes, dreams, accomplishments and fears -- we can no longer pretend that they don't exist...we can no longer look the other way."
LACPA's goal is to increase the awareness of the general public about mental health issues, the profession of psychology, and the mission of LACPA. The Mirrors of the Mind Project reflects just that that. Founded in 2012, by Terry Marks-Tarlow, Ph.D., and Pamela J. McCrory, Ph.D., the success of the event has increased with each new year. Co-founders Tarlow and McCrory curate the group show and both agree that they feel the annual event is a perfect example of the importance and power of creativity.
Co-curator and artist Marks-Tarlow is also a psychologist and clinician and sees the benefits of the artistic process in herself as well as her patients. Her art will be included in the show. She is excited to see the art displayed in the gallery at Art Share LA, and celebrates the many talented artists who are a part of this community outreach event.
Other artists set to be featured in the exhibition are Karissa Burnett, Alisa Dennis, David Feingold, Gary Felton, Christine Forest, Flora Golden and many more.
"Mirrors of the Mind 4: The Psychotherapist as an Artist" officially opens November 18 with a reception taking place on Saturday, November 21st, 2015, from 5 to 10pm at Artshare LA, located at 801 E 4th Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90013.
There will be a poetry reading 5-6pm as well as Community Art Creation from 4-9pm.
Attendees can bid on an art silent auction. Live original music and light refreshments will be provided. The exhibition will run through November 28.


Painting en plein air is always an adventure… (even if it's only in your backyard). I can't help but giggle when the first bug gets stuck and then painted into the piece. Or the goat that escaped his corral & was watching me paint at the top of pine canyon road yesterday. And then there is the cow grazing on the new sod in our yard that the kiddos have been nurturing so carefully…I'd rather paint in my studio any day, but it's definitely more challenging to avoid getting sunburned or painting as fast as I can to get back to my kiddos!
