Google is celebrating what would be Hedy Lamarr's 101st birthday with one of the most captivating Google Doodles yet! Such acknowledgement for Ms. Lamarr, star of H. M. Pulham, Esq. (1941), Samson and Delilah (1949), Come Live with Me (1941) , and more) comes with great reason. Not only was a she such a beautiful and talented actress, without her, we'd probably be without cell phones these days. Inspired to help Allied forces win World War II, she partnered with George Antheil, a renowned composer and inventor, and created "frequency hopping", a method that helped to control communications interference. Even though it wasn't used by the military, it was the starting point, through private companies, to the technology we now have for cell phone and Bluetooth technology.
This doodle is, to me, by far the most interesting and innovative yet – sure, it's not like the awesome PacMan doodle, but as a classic film lover and admirer of Ms. Lamarr's dedication and role in technology, I find it to be a sound piece of work!
By the way, here's my tumblr post marking the anniversary of the day her patent was awarded!
God, I just love that movie so much… I'll watch it again soon to refresh my mind completely about it and post my thoughts!
For now, Happy Birthday, Ms. Lamarr and thank you!
Hedy Lamarr has always been one of my heroes, inventing CDMA which made Qualcomm and all those other cell phone/WiFi/Bluetooth companies possible. And the Bletchley women codebreakers who worked out the breaking of Enigma for Alan Turing during the Second World War, and Rosalind Franklin whose photograph 51 proved the double helix structure of DNA, would be forever relegated to historical oblivion if not for this decade's interest. The question is why the interest in women pioneers now?
Great question and excellent points. So true and thank you for sharing them. I am thrilled the time's come for my 12 yo daughter, who loves math, to learn about so many other women with such interests and talents given the chance to put their intellect to use in these fields. I'd shared Hedy Lamarr to her a while back, but it took that doodle to pique her interest. Sadly so – I'll admit that – if it weren't for the PBS show, I may not have known about the Bletchley women (then again, I've learned a lot from PBS over the years). However, I'm confident many more of the now-obscure will be recognized. Thanks again!

The cameras at present are exceptionally technically advanced and sophisticated. But, they are also known to be unpredictable — the slim SD cards that house your valuable pictures are even more delicate.
Several camera persons often detach the SD card in a hurry instantly after they are done snapping photos. The process of pictures getting written to the flash memory card requires some time. If you take it out too quickly, then it may lead to file errors, and in worst cases, you may have to format the card entirely. Before taking out the memory card from the device, wait a bit. In case you lose your data, then the chances to recover it from the failed memory card are pretty high, considering that you use a good memory card.
If your Camera is running out of battery, then do not use it. In order to get the data written to the card, a specific amount of battery juice is required. If you are not carrying extra batteries and the camera's battery is extremely low, then do not use it or it may lead to errors.
Get a container for the memory card and place it there when not in use. Make sure you do not use the card in another device, or it may lead to corruption problems. Other devices may contain malware or virus, and if you insert the flash memory card in them, then your card may get infected.
Make sure that you exercise caution while removing images from the memory card. Certain internal formatting tools use destructive methods. This can lead to overwriting of the image's data, and the affected picture becomes unrecoverable.

Perot Museum pauses plan to reopen in July
(Perot Museum of Nature and Science)
DALLAS - The Perot Museum of Nature and Science has decided not to reopen in early July as planned.
The museum announced it is pausing its reopening plans because of a spike in COVID-19 cases in Dallas County.
Other Downtown Dallas museums such as the Dallas Holocaust Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, Nasher Sculpture Center, Crow Museum of Asian Art and the Sixth Floor Museum will do the same.
"Though we have created rigorous guidelines and best practices to ensure that we reopen the museums safely and protect our staff and visitors, we are part of a larger community. We believe it is important to support Governor Abbott's, Mayor Johnson's and Judge Jenkins' appeals for Texans to stay home, if at all possible, to be good community partners and neighbors. While museums are still allowed to be open at 50% capacity, we believe a temporary delay in reopening is the most appropriate demonstration of our shared responsibility," the Downtown Dallas museums said in joint statement.
They did not set a new date for reopening to the public and said plans would be re-evaluated.

Home>Thirona is now compliant with the new Medical Device Regulation
Thirona is now compliant with the new Medical Device Regulation
The new EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745, which will come into full effect in May 2021, has a major impact on medical device manufacturers worldwide. Implementation of the new regulations has manufacturers facing challenges due to the stricter rules, limited resources, and lack of clear EU guidance. Therefore, we are especially proud to announce that Thirona successfully implemented the requirements and we are now certified against the new MDR.
Thirona's quality assurance officer, Lydia Pannekoek, tells us about the MDR, and what it took to get ready.
Can you tell us in short what the new MDR entails?
The MDR replaces the MDD (Medical Device Directive), which stems from 1993. A lot has changed in the medical device market since then, and those changes are reflected in a new regulation. For example, software as a medical device didn't exist in the MDD and were only regulated by additional standards. But probably the most important change is the stronger emphasis on clinical data. Under the new regulation, manufacturers need to demonstrate that their product is safe for medical use with in-house clinical data; it is no longer possible to rely on 'borrowed' data from other parties.
What changes needed to be implemented to comply to the new MDR?
Thirona already has sufficient clinical data available in-house, as we have always put emphasis on the importance of clinical evaluation and collaboration with clinical experts. Still, we had to improve the way we assess our data. Our methods for clinical evaluation have been refined and are now strongly linked to other processes, such as risk management and post-market surveillance. We have also implemented the necessary general safety performance requirements, such as product label requirements and unique device identification.
What challenges did you come across in the process?
An important but time-consuming first step was to perform a solid gap analysis on our current quality management system and technical documentation. This would make or break the project as it's the starting point for planning the implementation, including the resources needed. In general, resources in the medical device field are limited, and even experienced regulatory persons need to become familiar with the MDR 'on-the-go', while guidance documents are lacking. In terms of implementation, our biggest challenge was the interpretation of the new regulations and how to make this work efficiently in our current system.
Were you worried that Thirona wouldn't be ready in time?
No not really. One of Thirona's strengths is building relationships and this turned out to be very valuable for becoming MDR compliant. We reached out to our consultant for the topics on which we could use guidance and the communication with our Notified Body went smooth.
Around the time we finalized implementation, the European Commission announced the one-year delay of the MDR. Thus, we could've taken longer, but Thirona wanted to avoid regulations slowing down important software developments.
What did you learn from this process?
As quality officer, I actually learned a lot from the whole certification process. Not only about the regulations, but also about our own systems and processes, which will allow me to give our product development team even better support in the future. It has been a tough process, but worth the effort.
What are Thirona's plans moving forward?
We have passed the first audit, confirming that our quality management system meets all the requirements. The next audit will be more challenging, as it will show whether we have correctly implemented the new procedures in our day to day business. And of course we will be busy with recertification of our updated products as we move forward with software developments. Now that our first product, LungQ, has been certified under the MDR, our other products will follow soon, as new versions and features will be released.

Q: Generate unique integer from n integers, say $n=21$ How to generate an unique integer number from given $21$ integers, sequence doesn't matter. Also It is NOT required to regenerate these 21 numbers from this unique number.
What would be the best mathematical solution for this?
These $21$ numbers would be in range $0$ to $5250021$.
Please help.
Thanks,
Sagar.

A: So, write in base 5250022?
Be $n_i, i<21$ your 21 sorted integers, and build $N=\sum_{i=0}^{21} n_i 5250022^i$.

A: So you want a unique integer from a 21-element subset of $\{0,\dots,5250021\}$?  There is the squashed order, which is relatively easy to calculate.
If $0\leq n_1<n_2<\dots<n_{21}\leq 5250021$ you can generate a unique integer from $0$ to $\binom{5250022}{21}-1$ by the formula:
$$\sum_{j=1}^{21} \binom{n_j}{j}$$
This is related to something called the squashed order.
If you are allowed repeating $n_i$, then let $m_i=n_j+j-1$. Then $$0\leq m_1<m_2\dots <m_{21}\leq 5250041$$ and we get a distinct number from $0$ to $\binom{5250042}{21}-1$ by computing:
$$\sum_{j=1}^{21} \binom{n_j+j-1}{j}$$
These are in some sense the best you can do, since there are $\binom{5250022}{21}$ different sets of $n_j$ in the first case and $\binom{5250042}{21}$ different sets of $n_j$ in the second case (where repetitions are allowed.)
I've actually used this technique in some computer programs, but it is very slow if you can't pre-compute all the $\binom{n}{k}$ that you'll potentially need - essentially, the base $5250022$ solution is faster if you don't mind gaps and the extra ~65 bits in your results.
(Weirdly, if you Google "squashed order" the first result that comes up is a description of the algorithm of something I wrote. That article references "Anderson, Combinatorics on Finite Sets, pp 112-119," so that might be a good place to look for more about the squashed order.
One nice thing about this index is that it doesn't change with your upper bound - if you suddenly decide to allow numbers from $0$ to $5250023$, the old indices for the other sequences remains the same.

A: If you have a fixed upper limit, you can just zero pad them on the left to the same length and concatenate.  In this case it would be like working in base 10,000,000.  Each "digit" is in the range $0,000,000$ to $9,999,999$  This does allow regenerating them and having a different output depending on the order of the input numbers.
There are many other solutions.  Best is in the eye of the beholder.  This one seems easy to understand.

Ena Salon, Holbom, London
This sustainable hair salon—established in October 2009 by co-directors Pedro Inchenko and Johnny Othona—spans four beautifully finished floors. As a Davines flaship in the UK, the salon sought to preserve the heritage of the building (like keeping the original stained glass windows) while making it as eco-efficient as possible when it was redesigned. Much of the salon's furniture is vintage and reclaimed pieces. (The reception desk was originally an apple press.) But it's all the details that make this salon a standout: an artist was commissioned to create a one-of-a-kind wallpaper design for the backwash area ceiling so clients can look at something visually stimulating while getting a rinse.


Discussion in 'iPhone' started by stevepeck, Jul 18, 2008.
Why is it that the 'New' section of the App Store only shows the usual suspects that have been there since day one, such as AIM, Enigmo, Omni Focus, etc.
I can never find the newest apps in any order.


The joint Defence Forces in both Australia and New Zealand provide a critical role to the protection of primary industries such as fishing, provide relief aid in times of disaster and play a crucial part in the forces working around the globe to keep peace. Communications is absolutely critical to their operations, and keeping aware of new developments has never been more challenging.
The senior officers responsible for strategy and decision making required a telecommunications technology and market update course to be delivered annually, to keep the leaders in the Communications and Signalling sections up to date with what is going on in the commercial ICT industry. The course needed to cover market trends, competitive analysis plus new and upcoming technologies and developments, so that they could be narrowed down and potentially assessed for military use.
CommsLearning designed a customised 5 day course for the ADF/NZDF based on exact requirements agreed with the client. They requested particular technologies to be focused on and how they relate to the different military telecommunications systems. The course, named "Technology Systems Update", covered subjects such as an AUS or NZ Telecommunications market update and discussions around recent developments and trends, new technologies such as "New SDH, Metro Ethernet & 3rd Generation Mobile networks", new applications such as BlackBerry and VPN's, and included an organised tour of a commercial installation (such as the "Southern Cross" cable landing station in NZ). This became an ongoing program of work, and these courses have been successfully delivered for 6 years now, at various locations around the countries.
This program allowed the Senior Officers of the joint forces to be aware of what is happening in the commercial sector and allowed them to be aware of what technologies could be applied to the military and their own telecommunications networks (e.g. VoIP). Communications and being able to respond quickly is one of the key factors in the Defence Force being effective, and this course allowed them to plan for the next new technology.


In a report coming out of Naples, Florida, the government fined a nursing home $15,000 after one of its residents became severely dehydrated, suffered a heart attack, and died last August. The cardiac event and death of the resident occurred two weeks after the 90 year old was left outside under the hot Florida sun for close to three hours. Three nursing home employees were fired after this occurred, and the state Agency for Healthcare Administration investigated and released a report on the nursing home detailing concerns that residents could suffer physical injury, illness, and even death as a result of abuse or negligence at the home. One particular area of concern included the facility's failure to properly supervise and observe residents when they were outside in the facility's courtyard.
While accounts seemed to indicate the resident wheeled himself into the sun after he was brought outside, nevertheless staff allegedly failed to ensure he was not in the sun for too long and that he would be moved into the shade or back inside. The resident's temperature reportedly hit an astounding 107 degrees after that, he suffered burns from the sun, and he was very dehydrated. Nearly ten days later, he had the heart attack and was dead. Any person needs to be kept out of the sun for too long, especially a 90 year old, and this victim in particular already suffered from atrial fibrillation, coronary disease, and high blood pressure, indicating he had preexisting heart problems that made close monitoring even more vital.
The facility initially faced more state licensing reviews. The federal government fined the home $85,000 about three days after the victim passed away. A federal investigation in early 2015 revealed further problems at the nursing home, such as a patient being badly infected from a catheter. Then came the most recent $15,000 fine. While states primarily regulate nursing homes and thus have investigative authority and the authority to impose fines, cut off funding, and impose sanctions such as more frequent surveys or even license suspension or revocation, the federal government also has a similar role. This is because when nursing homes agree to accept federal taxpayer dollars through insurance programs like Medicare and Medicaid, which many nursing home residents rely on, they must agree to be subject to federal regulations, inspections and sanctions as well. Often federal and state authorities will work together to ensure compliance and hand down discipline when necessary.
In response to the fines handed down, the widow of the victim from the August incident who died a week and a half after being left in the sun for too long, has stated that the fines totaling $100,000 was basically a slap on the wrist and far from sufficient to hold the nursing home accountable.
Given the tremendous profits that nursing homes generally reap, it would not be farfetched to assume that coughing up $100,000 would not be a very big deal for the owner. The facility was reportedly subject to more frequent surveys, but ultimately did not face additional sanctions. While the employee firings were a good first step, this case shows how important it is for nursing homes themselves to be held accountable with discipline that has teeth. It also underscores the importance for prospective residents and their families to do proper due diligence and know a facility's history and any dangers residents may face.

SC to take up Hudaibiya case if NAB fails to complete probe: Sheikh Rasheed
by INP , (Last Updated September 14, 2017)
ISLAMABAD: Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed on Thursday said that the Supreme Court (SC) will take up the Hudaibiya Bill case if the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) fails to complete the investigation.
Talking to media, Sheikh Rasheed said that at first, the case was against one person but now, it is the entire family which is corrupt. "I can't back off from Hudaibiya Mill case," he added.
While speaking about the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman's appointment, the AML chief said that Opposition Leader in National Assembly Khursheed Shah has called on Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and apprised him about his reservations over the appointment of the chairman of NAB.
"Shah has also passed on concerns of the opposition with regard to the NAB chairman's affinity to a political party," he added.
Earlier, Sheikh Rasheed had moved the Supreme Court against the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), accusing the anti-graft watchdog of failing to file an appeal in the Hudaibiya Paper Mills case in accordance with the SC's Panamagate verdict.
In a petition submitted before the apex court, Rasheed, who is one of the three petitioners in the Panama Papers case, pleaded that NAB's lawyer had assured the court on July 21 that he will file an appeal within a week, challenging the decision of the Lahore High Court (LHC) to close the Hudaibiya Paper Mills case. However, NAB had not acted upon its "voluntary undertaking" in the court and is therefore guilty of contempt of court, the AML chief pleaded.
During the Hudaibiya Paper Mills reference, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar had confessed to his involvement in laundering $14.86 million (about Rs1.2bn) for the Sharif family, in a statement submitted before a magistrate on April 25, 2000, on the basis of which he was pardoned in the case.
According to Rasheed, the NAB lawyer's statement was included in the SC verdict of the Panama Papers case, in which the judges had ordered the bureau to file a reference and restart an investigation of the case. He said that he had sent NAB a reminder notice after seven days, however, the bureau had failed to act.
The SC, in its verdict of the Panama Papers case, had questioned the role of the NAB chairman, who had seemingly favoured the Sharifs in the Hudaibya Paper Mills case by not challenging the LHC's decision to close the reference.
"NAB did not challenge that judgement before the Supreme Court through any petition/appeal as NAB chairman had been appointed by [Nawaz Sharif] himself and, therefore, he had returned the favour by not filing any petition/appeal in that case against [Mr Sharif] and others. NAB chairman had failed in due performance of his duty in that regard," the verdict said.

The Burn and the Salve: Interview with Patricia Colleen Murphy
by Caitlin McCann
Patricia Colleen Murphy's first collection of poems, Hemming Flames (USU Press 2016), won the 19th Annual May Swenson Poetry Award. Hemming Flames charts the familial roots of mental illness, addiction, and trauma. The poems are more than a rehashing of events and experiences, they almost become living things. Alive in the way that, well, fire is alive. More than anything else, Hemming Flames is honest. These poems are not easy ones to read. Murphy takes a battering ram to doors most poets are afraid to knock on. There is an unspoken deal she makes with the reader: "I promise I will tell the whole truth, not pull any punches, if you come on this ride with me and you don't close your eyes when things get rough. I promise you will come out on the other side feeling better than when you started." This honesty, and the care and depth of Murphy's poems, is what gives the book its healing powers. Hemming Flames will burn you, Murphy quite literally jumps into the fire, but it will also give you a remedy for the pain.
CAITLIN McCANN: First of all, congratulations on the publication of your first collection of poems! Could you take us through the process of what it was like to put together your first book? How long had you been working on your first collection before its publication? Is this the book you had in mind when you first began compiling your manuscript?
PATRICIA COLLEEN MURPHY: Thank you so much, Caitlin! The long answer is I have been working on this book for 20 years. Several of the poems here were published in literary magazines in the 1990's. The manuscript went through many revisions, and it finaled at something like 15 contests and was nearly taken in about 10 open submissions periods. In fact, two of my dream publishers, Copper Canyon and Milkweed, each had it under consideration for two full years, from 2013 to 2015. When I look back at why it was a near miss for so long, I do see that it was never really ready.
The major shift in the book came when I challenged myself to explore some themes that I had not had the courage to address previously. Nine of the poems in this final manuscript were written for my poetry group during fall 2013. I share my work with a group of about 5-8 other poets in three 10-poem sessions each year. This group was so supportive of this hard material and often pushed me to be more specific and more honest even when I felt terrified of what I was already writing. In 2015, when I sent the book off to be considered for the May Swenson Prize, it was more risky and relentless than previous versions.
This is not the book I had imagined at first, mostly because I don't think I had the courage to tell the truth when I was younger. I think I wrote a lot of big emotions without writing a lot of evidence. I remember something we used to say to each other in graduate workshops, "This line isn't earned." A lot of what I was writing early on was not earned because I was withholding detail. With this manuscript I decided I needed to add the detail.
McCANN: How did you decide on what order you would put the poems in? Sometimes the book feels fairly linear, there's a sense of chronology, but then we slip into these surreal planes or into different perspectives that disrupt the linearism and thus create a lot of tension.
MURPHY: This is an insightful question, and you kind of answer it yourself here! I did decide to organize chronologically. I start with childhood scenes then move into adolescence and adulthood. But I didn't want the book to be a straight narrative, and I use the surrealism to disrupt reality and to force the reader to feel how disorienting and terrifying it is to be in relationships with people who are so very sick.
I think about something that the wonderful poet and memoirist Kelle Groom said to me. She was helping me try to describe what it was like to live in such proximity to madness. "I need you to get into that burning Oldsmobile," she said. In other words, I was trying to communicate the experience by stating only fact, which is admittedly pretty terrifying: "My mother got in her car, poured gasoline all over her lap, and lit a match." But Kelle pushed me to embody the experience. And that's what I'm doing with the content and structure of the book, too. Everything about those relationships was tense and non-linear.
McCANN: Why did you decide to go with Hemming Flames as the title of the collection? How does it embody the rest of the book, especially since it's the last two words in the final poem? For me, the most charged poems, and the ones that were most difficult to read in terms of content, were "Is it the Sea You Hear in Me?" and "Meet the Author." In these poems there's the mention of hems. Was this intentional, part of a purposeful evolution, or a happy accident fleshed out?
MURPHY: Thanks for this question. It makes me want to really visit those last two words, or the last two lines really.
"Yesterday I invented fire
today I'm hemming flames."
That couplet sums up my mother's bipolar disorder. She was always either shining bright or burning bright. I spent so much of my life reacting to her illness, whether I was trying to fix something, or trying to protect myself. In titling the collection, I was focused on the notion that it's not only impossible to hem flames, it's also dangerous.
And the lines did resonate with a lot of existing imagery, especially my mother's suicide attempt by fire (she tried to kill herself in several different ways throughout her life, but the fire was perhaps the most terrifying), and my parents' endless cigarettes.
The two mentions of hems that you bring up in yes–very highly charged poems–were written before I had the title. But another way it's significant is that a hem is an edge. So many images in the book are touching edges.
McCANN: The titles of your poems and every one of their opening and closing lines are so strong. What's sandwiched in between is also fantastic, but I was just so taken aback by how cutting those particular lines are. What sort of work went into the cultivation of those lines? Did you know how the poems would begin and end, or was this something that came to fruition through revision?
MURPHY: Oh hey thanks for that! I did use a pretty unique composing process for many of the poems. It developed partly because I read a lot, and one of the things I like to do when I read is to collect "nuggets." It's one of my favorite things about writing and reading poetry, these one-line punches that stand almost on their own. And nuggets work really well as titles, first lines, and last lines.
So I keep a writer's notebook with a collection of my own: these are usually things that come to my mind at random free-thinking moments. Then before I write, I do a re-reading session of the notebook to gather inspiration. Sometimes I'll cut and paste lines from my notes intact into the poem. So you'll see these end-stopped moments a lot throughout the book, but yes especially as first and last lines.
As far as endings go, two of my favorite poets are Franz Wright and James Wright. I often talk about the "big fat James Wright ending." It is something I have studied and cultivated here. I'll talk about two examples.
The line, "Think of the courage it took for me to touch a doorknob." I had this thought one day when walking into a store that was in full sun and here in Phoenix I knew the doorknob was going to be terribly hot. I liked the sound of the line as a sentence and so it went into my notebook. Then when I thought about that phrase within the family history, and remembering that my mother attempted suicide and I saved her by opening her closed bedroom door, the literal became figurative: from the fear of hot metal to the fear of dangerous interpersonal relationships.
Another example is, "Misting the ferns with a mental mister." I had this thought in bed one night when I had forgotten to water my tomato plants! Do you ever do that? I wasn't going to get out of bed to go water them, so I kind of just thought about watering them—I went through the whole mental process of it perhaps to punish myself for having forgotten, or maybe to remind myself to do it in the morning. When I used that line in the poem, though, two important things happened. First, the plant changes to something wholly domestic and ornamental, to highlight that feeling of being trapped indoors and needing sustenance but not getting anything real. And second, I wanted the poem to end on the word "mister" to highlight this terrifying masculine landscape.
As far as beginnings go, to get the best one I usually just erase the first two stanzas, which tend to be pre-writing anyway.
McCANN: "Why I Burned Down Namdaemun Gate" is very different from the rest of the poems in the collection. It carries the thread of fire but, as far as I can tell, it's the only poem removed from this family's history. How does this poem function in the collection? Why include it?
MURPHY: That is a persona poem in the voice of my mother. I wanted to capture someone else who had set fire to something. I can't tell you how many conversations I had with my mother over the years that sounded just like that poem. My mother was a genius. But in her manic stages, nothing made any sense. There were these wild associations, these wild accusations and wild actions too.
McCANN: As far as I can discern, not every poem told in the second person is addressed to the same you. Who are the yous in these poems? What do you think the poems gain by being written in the second person as opposed to in the third person?
MURPHY: So true, and not every poem in first person is the same I. Again I want the reader to feel off-kilter and uncomfortable. I want the through-line of the book to be as intense and upsetting as growing up in that atmosphere was. The identity is amorphous. The family is so dysfunctional, the behaviors are so abnormal, that there is no accountability or ownership. It's a soup of bad behavior. I move back and forth between I and you in part to mimic the interactions inherent in the family. It's confront and retreat. And many of the poems can be read from any perspective. You could read the I as the mother, the father, the brother, the speaker.
McCANN: Continuing with the topic of point of view, for the most part the poems seem to be told from the point of view of the same person, but "Letter from the Psych Ward, Hospital Kashenko" is from the mother's perspective and "Liminal" is from the father's perspective. What drove you to make the choice to shift into their perspectives for these poems?
MURPHY: Both of those poems were composed as a response to texts. "Letter from the Psych Ward" is a found poem comprised of lines from a letter my mother actually sent to me from Hospital Kashenko, the Russian mental institution where she was held incommunicado for 18 months and nearly died. The voice there is her true manic voice. I changed very little about it.
"Liminal" was written in a memoir writing class I took with Laurie Stone. She handed me a photograph of a man and two children at a table, and a woman in the doorway, naked, with dirt at her feet. The assignment was to write for 20 minutes about the picture, and I wrote for 20 minutes and the poem "Liminal" that you see in the book is almost word for word what I produced. The photograph gave me this urge to see things from my father's point of view. He really loved us so much but was also stuck.
I have a creepy additional note to the story of writing "Liminal." The last line says "My mother was dead," and when I read the work out loud the night of the class I got a terrible chill and one of the other students started crying, and it was generally a moving moment. The next morning, I found out that my mother had died the previous day, was actually about four hours dead when I wrote and read the poem. It took over 24 hours for the coroner to contact me.
McCANN: I was intrigued by your use of the word asylum throughout the book. What made you decide to use the word asylum as opposed to mental hospital, or something similar? Were you playing with the idea that asylum can also refer to political asylum?
MURPHY: Yes, you got it. I was playing with political asylum. My mother was an active member of the Communist Party USA and she tried to emigrate to both Cuba and Russia. She spoke often of seeking political asylum because she believed she was being harassed by the US government for her activities with CPUSA. During her lifetime she was held in about 30 different mental institutions in six different countries, including Cuba and Russia.
McCANN: I love that you bring up this idea of literary femininity in "How I Learned That Everyone is Ridiculous." For me, literary femininity harkens back to sentimental novels and domestic fiction in 19th century American literature, and for one's writing to lack literary femininity means to not write like a "lady." Could you talk about what literary femininity means to you and your work, and perhaps this poem in particular?
MURPHY: Oh thanks for picking up on that line and for asking me about that poem. I come from a position of having to defend that poem because it is so heavily steeped in allusion that 3/5ths of my poetry group tore into me and let me know how obnoxiously inaccessible it was, while 2/5ths loved it and said it was hilarious. The poem amused me so much I didn't revise it much, save for removing the final couplet and an epigraph.
The poem used to begin with this Barthes quote from "Death of the Author": ". . . quand je parle, je ne peux pas parler sans avoir une certaine idee, une certaine image de l'autre a qui je parle, une image de ce qu'il attend de moi, de ce qu'il est lui-meme." Which roughly translates to, "when I speak, I can't speak without having a certain idea or image of the person I'm speaking with, an image of what he thinks of me, and of what he is himself."
This is the quote that inspired the entire poem, so in essence the poem is a reaction to the ridiculous construct of language. Think of the mockery the conscience makes of communication! To say what I want to say, I need to know what the listener thinks of me, and what the listener thinks of himself. It's devastating! Crippling! How are any of us still talking to others? It's an impossible situation.
The week before I wrote this poem I hired a reader for my memoir, and the comments I received made me feel like the reader didn't just dislike the writing, the reader disliked me as a person. And that's okay. People are allowed to dislike me, but it wasn't exactly what I was paying for. The next day I was reading Barthes, and I read that quote, and I thought about how irresponsible it is of us to think that language can communicate anything, because in order to enter dialogue we are already by necessity at once self-conscious and assumptive.
It made me think about how often we hear male critics dismissing writing by women. Even more, Barthe's explanation highlighted the notion that women can't speak without already knowing intuitively that many men come from a place of privilege and superciliously assume that women are second class. Okay honestly it made me think of very specific male critics dismissing my writing. And that's why you see this pile-up of influential men in the poem, authors whose work I adore individually, and whose names I have always admired for the collusion of sounds: Barth, Barthes, and Barthelme. In the poem, they become the committee that decides my literary worth. So "lack of literary femininity" means exactly as you say: that I'm not being lady-like enough for my male critics.
McCANN: What will you be working on next? Your bio mentions a memoir-in-progress, can you talk about that, and also where you are in terms of your second collection of poetry?
MURPHY: Sure! I have two other poetry collections that are in circulation. And I have been working on the memoir for many years as well. I just finished a residency at Djerassi in California where I did some pretty transformative work on that book. I feel like it will be ready to send around after about 40 more hours of work.

The Data Sovereignty Initiative is a collection of ideas that was designed to create SMART solutions for tribal communities. This concept was to develop a horizontal governance framework to create a strategic act of sovereignty using data science. The core concept of this idea was to present data sovereignty as a way for tribal communities to take ownership of data in order to affect policy and strategic decisions that are data driven in nature.
The case studies in this manuscript were developed around statistical theories of spatial statistics, exploratory data analysis, and machine learning. And although these case studies are first, scientific in nature, the data sovereignty framework was designed around these concepts to leverage nation building, cultural capital, and citizen science for economic development and planning.
The data sovereignty framework is a flexible way to create data domains, around developed key indicators to integrate appropriate cultural capital when working with Native nations. This design is intended to put scientific theory into practice to affect everyday outcomes using data driven decision making. This framework is a proof concept and represents both applied and theoretical metrics in design strength.

Get behind the brands
by Joyce Campbell
January 26 2019, 9.43am
Joyce Campbell regularly updates Twitter and Facebook with images of her flock.
The new year has started out in a very shouty fashion with #Veganuary coming out of the starting blocks hard.
It feels as if our livestock and dairy industries have been taking the brunt of the blame for the destruction of the environment and the cruel and inhumane treatment of the animals in our care. Unless you've been living under a stone, it's hard to get away from the continual barrage of propaganda on radio, TV, online and in the papers.
Naturalist and broadcaster Chris Packham's Twitter feed has had regular video blogs of how his journey to becoming vegan is progressing, and it actually feels like you've tuned into a crass shopping channel as he shamelessly promotes particular brands and restaurants such as the "Scotch Eggless".
I'm sure they are very "scrummy", as Chris says, but with a box of two eggs costing £7 plus another £7.50 postage and packing, they are also very expensive.
It's tough when up you're against the ropes not to come out swinging, especially when there are so many inaccuracies banded about. I'm very proud of the our industry and the brilliant representation that many of our hardworking folk have
given online.
The majority have not engaged in mud-slinging but have defended their positions with hard facts on production systems, methane emissions, carbon sequestration and animal welfare standards. They have also questioned the destruction of the rainforest for palm oil production, which the vegan diet relies on to replace animal fats, along with the planting of large monoculture almond orchards to keep up with the demand for plant-based
diets.
Pictures of family dinners have been uploaded onto Twitter with some shocking calculations on the food miles the meal has clocked up and the environmental impact. These are real issues in-comparison to Mr Packham's plugs for astronomically-priced Eggless.
It may feel like we are swimming against the tide right now, but for me this is a massive opportunity for good. We're discussing our industry and that's great as we have lots of brilliant stories behind our food.
Scotland is a world leader in welfare standards and sustainable production. That's not to say we can't do more. Unfortunately we're all being painted by a broad brush by vegan extremists and being condemned for bad practice in other parts of the world which bear no resemblance to Scotland. It's time to stand up and be counted and get behind the Scotch lamb, beef and pork brands.
Simple clear messages and hard facts need to be distributed to the membership of Quality Meat Scotland so we can defend ourselves accurately and go on to promote and share them widely with larger audiences.
It's a different slant on knowledge transfer, but farmers need to develop better PR skills to become more media savvy.
None of us like being told what to do and shoppers are no different.

Cuomo's New York Is Just Throwing Away Vaccines Rather Than Distributing Them Competently
US News & Politics
LouMan January 12, 2021, 2:47pm #1
The day after more than 4,100 people died from COVID-19 across the U.S., news broke that health care providers in New York were forced to throw out precious vaccine doses instead of putting them in people's arms.
New York's Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, is the main man to blame. On December 28, he signed an executive order rolling out strict penalties—up to $1 million in fines, plus loss of medical license—for medical providers who allow people to skip the state-issued vaccination line, even when those doses are about to expire. The state's current vaccination plan allows frontline public health workers who have direct contact with patients to be vaccinated, as well as residents in nursing homes and other congregate care facilities. It does not currently allow for vaccination of most other elderly people, the group at the highest risk of death from COVID-19. (Cuomo's office did not respond to Reason 's request for comment by time of publication.)
Predictably, The New York Times reported today that some clinics throughout New York City, like the Family Health Center of Harlem, are throwing out doses that are about to expire. Vials of the Moderna vaccine yield about 10 doses, so the clinic had to open two in order to vaccinate the 12 people who showed up to their evening appointments:
"After a quick search, the staff found three other eligible people, leaving five unused doses, Dr. Calman said.
The nurse at the clinic called her supervisor at home asking what to do with the remainder. From her home, the supervising nurse called her contact at the city's health department for guidance. She was told to try to find someone who fit the eligibility criteria and was encouraged to contact a nearby nursing home, an urgent care center and a women's shelter.
The nurse at the clinic set out on foot. She was turned away at the nursing home, a fire station and elsewhere, Dr. Calman said, before she was able to find one eligible and willing health care worker.
Dr. Calman said the nurse eventually threw out the remaining doses after the health department told the clinic that it could only vaccinate members of eligible groups."
In other words, massive fines are deterring health care workers from getting long-awaited vaccine doses to the people who need them. And they're right to be scared of those fines, which are not empty threats: A hospital in New Rochelle is under investigation for potential violation of the state's rules, and their vaccine doses have been seized and reallocated.
The state is wrong to put these medical workers in a horrifying ethical bind where they must choose between violating the governor's rules to help save people's lives, or throwing scarce resources out at a time when we're desperately attempting to reach herd immunity and avoid higher death tolls. Especially since vaccinating more people, whoever they are, is a Pareto improvement—something that would benefit at least one person (in this case, more than that, if vaccines reduce transmission too) while harming none. And, as Reason 's Ron Bailey has written extensively, time is of the essence when it comes to vaccinations, especially as a more-transmissible COVID-19 variant spreads.
Meanwhile, states like Texas and Florida are allowing people aged 65 and older to receive vaccines, but New York refuses, saying people in the 65-74 age group will probably receive vaccines in March or April. In those states, which both have Republican governors who have received some amount of scrutiny for bucking federal vaccine-line guidance, seniors are incurring long wait times and jammed phone lines. So these states' rollouts are not without fault, but at least the people most in need are receiving doses. (In fact, four elderly family members of mine in Texas have already received their first shots.)
Part of the problem here is that Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio have long been engaged in political one-upmanship and petty power struggles—a tale as old as time. But, to de Blasio's credit, he's started pleading with Cuomo and asking that the state open up vaccinations to seniors:
Cuomo, a man who had the astonishing gall to publish a book during the pandemic about his leadership successes, should really put the petty game of politics aside now that health care providers in his state are throwing out the vaccine doses we've spent the better part of a year yearning for.

Cuomo's New York Is Just Throwing Away Vaccines Rather Than Distributing Them...
More than 4,100 people died of COVID-19 yesterday across the country, but some New York medical providers are dumping vaccines instead of putting them in people's arms.

I read, therefore I am.
Past Imperfect by Julian Fellowes
July 29, 2018 July 30, 2018 lellison90Books, england, history, nobility, readingLeave a comment
I think it's safe to say that Julian Fellowes has become one of my favorite authors. Not only because he writes about my favorite subject: British nobility; but because he writes about them so well and in a way that I have not read from other authors. I read his book Snobs and thought that it was a good read. Very detailed and telling about the gentry families of England. Past Imperfect is very different. He still writes about the high families and their posh lifestyle, but this book gets psychological about the nobility.
The story follows the narrator on a quest for a former enemy to find his illegitimate child by a woman from their youth. Of course, the narrator is reluctant at first to relive the Debutante Season of 1968, but when he learns that Damian Baxter is a dying man, he gives in to his whims to track down the child. Our narrator must travel back in time and he takes us readers on quite a journey.
The description on the back of the book tells me all of this and I expected a well-told life history of debutante balls, fancy dinners, and teenage shenanigans. I got what I was expecting, but with a little twist in which the narrator also describes the current lives of the women he revisits which are less than happy ones. We visit a woman with a husband who cannot be trusted with money; a woman with a bully banker for a husband; one who's been the love of the narrator's life for forty years; a Californian, plastic-surguried woman who has had more than her fair share of husbands; and a husband of one of the women who died a tragic death. Our narrator goes on an emotional roller coaster trying to find the child in question to satisfy a dying man's request.
I already knew I would like the book because Fellowes writes really well. Every manor house we visit is described in perfect detail. Every instance of well-born routine is perfectly executed. His writing is part of the reason I want to be a part of that world so badly. I appreciated, though, that he wrote about less-than-perfect situations. It opened my eyes to a world I want to be a part of so badly, and made me realize that it's not all fancy parties and exquisite balls. Now, I'm not naive enough to believe that these people don't have their own problems, but I rarely get to read about them.
I hope Julian Fellowes keeps writing. There are still other books of his I need to get my hands on. Other noble families that need their stories told. Even if they are fictional.

Lesotho looks to ICTs to escape poverty
Image By VisitLesotho
The Kingdom of Lesotho has made ICT sector growth and manufacturing key priorities in its Poverty Reduction Strategy and National Strategic Development Plan.
The plan, prepared by authorities of the Kingdom of Lesotho in broad consultation with stakeholders, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, notes that while Lesotho has made economic progress, it is still a Least Developed Country.
The plan lays out strategies to improve GDP and reduce unemployment through a radical transformation of its economy.
Among its key focus area for development, Lesotho aims to create an enabling environment for new business, particularly manufacturing, with resulting growth in its exports.
The report notes: "ICT can play a great role in increasing competitiveness of a country through increased efficiency in the production processes (reduction of transaction costs) and improving access to information, markets and facilitating the establishment of global social networks. ICT can also be used to improve coverage and efficiency of service provision such as in health, education and general trade in services (e-commerce).
For the ICT sector to develop and for a country to realise the benefits, an appropriate ecosystem and infrastructure should be developed."
With this in mind, the Kingdom aims to enable access to high speed broadband and improve ICT skills.
It notes that Lesotho has signed up to the East and Southern African Optic Submarine Cable System, but says access to high-speed digital subscriber line (DSL) broadband is currently constrained by limited fixed line infrastructure.
In addition, limited bandwidth, which is the range of frequencies with which voice, data and internet traffic is transmitted, inhibits internet usage and uptake and consequently delays developments in electronic services.
Broadband expansion is therefore likely to involve wireless technologies such as WLAN (wireless local area networks) and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), which implies leapfrogging traditional access technology. Among other measures, Lesotho aims to identify options for reconstitution of a national backbone ICT infrastructure, and facilitate infrastructure sharing among network operators so as to optimise scarce resources.
The Kingdom also plans to undertake market research to identify new solutions in banking, health, public service delivery and facilitate their adoption, promote innovation and develop niche ICT sub-sectors.
The report noted: "If Lesotho is to exploit the 'demographic bonus' of its large young labour force, then skills must be raised."
It added: "Entrepreneurship development and competitiveness depend on use of appropriate technology. Lesotho needs to create an ecosystem that facilitates technology diffusion and adoption and to build good foundation for innovation in selected areas of science and other
disciplines, such as law, economics and finance, to develop business technology. It is critical that capacity is developed to source and funnel technology, acquire licenses to produce technology and provide industrial engineering support, especially to MSMEs."

The objective of the e-SENS building block "e-Delivery" is to establish a common transport infrastructure suited to the requirements of cross-border communication between e-Government applications in different domains. This common transport infrastructure leverages the work of the previous LSPs and combines their results in a modular approach. The goal is for the infrastructures in use by the other LSPs to converge over time towards this common standard.

UK Recruitment Index…
UK Recruitment Index 2020
By Jamie Cassell
Recruitment firms remain resilient but tech and staff retention crucial for the future.
Staffing companies are showing continued resilience despite the economic uncertainty, but consultant retention and investment in technology is needed if the sector is to thrive in a post pandemic environment. That's according to recent research from the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo), produced in conjunction with Saffery Champness.
Download the summary version of the 2020 UK Recruitment Index
Recruitment resilience
The survey asked businesses to score their company between 1 and 10 – across a number of operational, organisational and financial criteria with 10 indicating a firm is 'best in class'. When assessing their firm's operational resilience, those with a Net Fee Income (NFI) in excess of £50 million indicated optimism had remained, with an average score of 8. No averages were recorded below 6, suggesting the recruitment sector has remained resilient despite taking a hit during the first few months of lockdown.
Financial resilience also remains intact, with many confident that their company has the financial resilience to weather the storm of Covid-19, with no averages falling below 6 on the scale.
Consultant retention and technology investment a priority
The report also revealed concerning gaps in recruiter retention and investment in technology that could hinder progress for some recruitment businesses. 83% of firms with an NFI over £10 million have, or continue to develop, sector-specific technology. However, over half of the firms with an NFI under £2 million scored themselves less than 5 on technology, indicating that smaller staffing companies have yet to reap the benefits of automation and cloud-based systems.
The historical staff retention challenge that's long been prevalent across hiring companies also has the potential to hinder growth in recruitment, though smaller firms appear to be faring better than larger ones. Over 53% of those firms with an NFI below £10 million scored themselves 8 and above, whilst just 46% of companies with an NFI greater than £50 million scored 8 and above.
Ann Swain, CEO of APSCo, commented:
"It's highly encouraging to see the recruitment sector remain resilient despite the significant challenges that have been thrown at staffing companies this year. However, if this optimism is to remain and businesses are to not just survive, but more importantly, thrive post-Covid, consultant retention and technology needs to be a focus. Holding on to top performing recruiter is key, but throwing money at this problem alone won't always work. Instead a greater focus on training, development and structured career progression opportunities can help firms hang on to the big billers. And while IT projects usually require investment in both time and money, it is essential that recruiters invest in more sophisticated CRM systems and timesheet software to improve profit margins."
Jamie Cassell, Partner at Saffery Champness LLP added:
"It's encouraging to see the recruitment sector remain resilient despite the on-going challenges across the UK. The fact that so many businesses are indicating that they have the funding available and have developed a flexible business strategy to help weather the storm is highly welcome news in what has been an incredibly difficult year so far. We may be facing continued uncertainty, but the recruitment sector's ability to continue operating will be crucial as it plays its part in getting the UK back to work."

The factors that enable a business to grow


Too long since the last post, but I've been busy jammin' and infusin' and all sorts of things.
First of all, Aaron came and visited, and is now sitting next to me on our Porch of Wi-Fi. We've been doing a lot of reading (Ender's Game [him], The Poisonwood Bible [me]) and eating our faces off. Subsequently we've come to know the inside of the outhouse quite well.
Today we picked onions. We look none too thrilled, but it was really fun. There was no need for quality control, as we could just yank up all those little suckers.
Tomatoes are in full bloom!
Leading to many tomato-mozzarella-basil sandwiches.
Since we have such a plethora of blueberries, I decided to infuse some gin. I found all these recipes online for different infused alcohols, so I'm going to try a bunch.
Today it's a much darker purple, and I think it'll be ready by tomorrow.
We had to throw the jars in the oven before we plunged them in the hot water, etc, to disinfect and make sure we all don't get botulism.
I'll have a picture of the finished jam next time. Delicious.
Tomorrow we're going to meet up with Lucy and Paul and Caitie in Madison and go to the New Glarus Brewery!
Must leave, as have only 10 minutes left on the laptop.
