Michael Krasznay-Krausz, auch Michael Krausz, ungarisch Mihály Krasznai Krausz (* 11. April 1897 in Pancsova, Österreich-Ungarn; † 3. November 1940 in Budapest) war ein ungarisch-österreichischer Komponist.

Leben
Michael Krasznay-Krausz stammte aus einer jüdischen Familie. Sein Vater war Grammophonfabrikant. Mit 13 Jahren begann er zu komponieren. Er studierte Kontrapunkt und Komposition an der Hochschule für Musik in Budapest bei Victor von Herzfeld, dessen erster Schüler er war. Zu seinen anderen Lehrern zählt auch Zoltán Kodály. Nach der Präsentation seiner Oper Marika im Jahr 1919 an der Ungarischen Staatsoper in Budapest wanderte er nach Wien aus. Er komponierte zuerst symphonische Musik und Opern und wandte sich ab 1923 der Operette zu. Seine erste Operette Bajazzos Abenteuer wurde am 22. Dezember 1923 im Wiener Johann Strauß-Theater uraufgeführt. Seine Operette Eine Frau von Format mit Fritzi Massary hatte 1927 in Berlin einen großen Erfolg.

Anfang 1930er Jahre lebte er eine Zeit lang in Berlin, wo wieder einige seiner Operetten aufgeführt wurden. Jedoch musste er 1933 die Stadt bald für immer verlassen. Im Mai des Jahres 1934 fand ein Gerichtsprozess zwischen Krasznay-Krausz und Paul Abraham statt, in dem ihn der letztere des Plagiats beschuldigte. Der Streit ging um Die gelbe Lilie von Krasznay-Krausz (der Komponist bezeichnete sie als "Ungarische Rhapsodie" um den Begriff "Operette" zu vermeiden; sie wurde am 5. Januar 1934 im Budapester Stadttheater uraufgeführt, die deutsche Erstaufführung fand am 24. Mai im Wiener Theater an der Wien statt) und Abrahams Märchen im Grand-Hotel, deren Uraufführung in demselben Theater an der Wien zwei Monate der deutschen Erstaufführung der gelben Lilie zuvor war, und in denen eine Reihe von Nummern vorkommt, die einander auffallend ähnlich sind. Krasznay-Krausz konnte beweisen, dass die betreffenden Lieder von ihm bereits im August 1932 komponiert wurden, und der Prozess ging friedlich aus, wobei sich beide darüber einigten, dass Wien Paul Abraham als Aufführungsort vorbehalten wird. Die gelbe Lilie wurde in den darauf folgenden Jahren in Budapest gespielt und erlebte dabei insgesamt 20 Aufführungen.

Nach dem Erfolg des am 8. Februar 1938 uraufgeführten "musikalischen Kriminalromans" Dixie wurde im Theater an der Wien seine neue Operette Mädel in Gefahr geprobt. Die Premiere war auf Mitte/Ende Februar gesetzt und die einzelnen Szenen wurden im Radio übertragen. Doch durch den Anschluss Österreichs kam es zu deren Aufführung nicht. Das Theater an der Wien wurde am 17. März als musikalisches Unterhaltungstheater geschlossen und Krasznay-Krausz musste nach Budapest fliehen.

Seine letzte Operette Marion wurde am 23. März 1940 im Budapester Stadttheater aufgeführt, doch erfolglos. Die Titelrolle spielte Emmi Kosáry, die damit ihre Schauspielkarriere beendete.

Michael Krasznay-Krausz verstarb am 3. November 1940 in Budapest im Alter von 43 Jahren und wurde auf dem jüdischen Friedhof in der Kozma-Straße in Budapest begraben.

Krasznay-Krausz ist auch als Autor zahlreicher Schlager bekannt.

On June 11, 2015, the Florida Court of Appeal First District concluded that a Notice of Proposed Assessment (NOPA) is not an 'assessment' for purposes of Florida's statute of limitations. Florida law generally requires that the Department may 'assess' an amount of tax within three years after the tax is due. The court determined that the assessment contemplated in the statute of limitations is a 'final assessment,' not a proposed assessment. The final assessment in this case occurred at the expiration of the 60-day protest period following the issuance of the NOPA, which was after the expiration of the statute of limitations. Accordingly, the court found that the Department's assessment was untimely.
Although the tax at issue in this case was a sales tax, the court's ruling appears to be applicable to income tax matters as well. Taxpayers that received NOPAs fewer than 60 days prior to the expiration of their statute of limitations period and are challenging an assessment should review whether the Department's assessment is timely consistent with the guidance in this case.

Alleged Finks bikie member charged with brawl at Branxton's Royal Federal Hotel
A man police believe to be a member of the Finks Outlaw Motorcycle Gang has been charged in relation to an alleged brawl at a Branxton hotel.
The arrest came after several Finks members attended the Royal Federal Hotel on Saturday night.
It will be alleged in court that two men approached two patrons and assaulted them.
Other patrons in the venue came to their aid and separated the group, police said. They all left the hotel prior to officers arriving.
About 10am Thursday, investigators attended a home on Wollombi Road, Bellbird Heights, where they arrested a 28-year-old man.
He was taken to Hunter Valley Police Station and charged with affray.
The man was granted conditional bail and will appear in Cessnock Local Court on January 20.
As inquiries continue police are seeking information from anyone who may have been at the hotel in the evening of Saturday, December 19.

Many of us can agree that the most recent iteration of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), commonly referred to as No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and passed in 2001, has not lived up to its name and has been characterized by its many shortcomings. Despite those shortcomings, however, the strength of NCLB will always be the information it requires from states, particularly for subgroups of students.
After NCLB was passed, we were able to learn more about how Black and Latino students, who are most commonly affected by the achievement gap, are being educated. The limitation of NCLB is that we do not know enough about how to better serve historically disadvantaged students. As NCLB approaches reauthorization, it is important to remember the students who are most adversely affected by the achievement gap.
Although achievement gaps are decreasing, they are still too wide. The Center for American Progress recently released a report that detailed why we need to track data by student subgroups. According to their research, about 1.2 million Black students, 1 million Latino students, 2.8 million students with disabilities, and 2.8 million low-income students are scoring 10 percentage points or more below the overall performance at their schools.
This means achievement gaps exist not only between schools, but within schools. This is particularly important as the racial and economic makeup of this country drastically changes. Low-income students are now the majority of students enrolled in public schools. In just five years, children of color will make up over half of the children in this country. Closing the achievement gap should be considered a national priority, not just an issue that impacts small subgroups.
Many would argue that NCLB required too much from teachers and schools without giving enough resources for solving the problem that we already know exists—too many students are being left behind. NCLB's subgroup data reveals inequities that most harshly impact disadvantaged students. The downfall was that it was too prescriptive and had a one-size-fits-all approach to schooling. While states should have the opportunity to tailor action plans to their populations, it is also important that states are being held accountable and receive some kind of oversight.
In the proposed ESEA bill, students would still be required to be tested in grades 3-8 and once in high school in reading and math. Instead of federal direction on the best way to measure success or intervene in low-performing schools, states would be given the power to decide what to do with tests, how to rate failing schools and what goals to set for schools. The proposed act also requires states to take action on schools with achievement gaps, but gives states complete freedom and oversight to determine what action they take.
But state and local agencies have a poor track record in protecting the rights of people of color. Had the federal government not stepped in after Brown vs. Board of Education, schools would still be legally segregated. States and schools that do a good job educating disadvantaged students will continue to do so while other schools will not since they lack accountability.
Finally, I hoped to see more in this reauthorization process about support for educators. While support can look different for each school and each educator, I believe the federal government can (and should) have a role in ensuring support is provided in closing the achievement gap.
I believe the federal government can (and should) have a role in ensuring support is provided in closing the achievement gap.
For instance, states should be required to come up with an actionable plan to close the achievement gap. My last year of teaching, I worked with "difficult to teach" students and teachers who lacked the resources and support to get their students to the next level. The first round of assessments yielded results that were too low and they deemed it impossible to raise students to the level of proficiency. More important, they knew that they were expected to perform the impossible without the help to do it. The lack of support and direction made it difficult for many teachers to be effective. Although some asked for help, they rarely received it. Teachers working in low-performing schools must be given more training, resources and support and states must be required to come up with a plan to deliver this help to them.
As we move forward 13 years after NCLB began, we must learn from past lessons and think critically about what we are asking of our teachers and our students. It is also important that we ask ourselves what the reauthorization means for disadvantaged children who are underserved in failing schools. Though this bill does more to address the needs of Black and Latino students than the two bills passed out of each chamber, I implore Congress to take advantage of the important opportunity to ensure this bill is something we champion as a win for civil rights and for our students. We cannot afford another 13 years of large achievement gaps.

The Deep, Dark And Unprofitable World Of Influencer Marketing
By Anna Spargo-Ryan Posted September 6, 2018
Ten years ago, YouTube pioneers started creating content to share and promote products they like. In those days, "content" was just called "videos", and the products were those they bought themselves. It wasn't long before brands saw an opportunity to leverage the audiences these early influencers were growing. But according to recent analysis by Hyland Media (#notsponsored), only 17% of influencer audience is valuable. So why should brands keep doing it?
For a while, the influencer-brand relationship worked in a kind of uneasy harmony. Influencers got paid a meagre amount to spruik products without disclosing it. Customers bought them, and sometimes they were good and sometimes they were bad, like they always had been.
It's big-bucks now. Influencer marketing forms part of the strategy in almost every industry, from car manufacturing and perfume to airlines and supermarkets. Brands are engaging – that is, paying – influencers to promote their products through social media, but also through collaborations and cross-over integrations with traditional media. And, great, extremely good on those influencers who make a living posting unboxing videos and pretending their adorable dog wasn't meant to appear in the background.
As influencer marketing has changed, so have measures to manage it. In the US, FTC guidelines now include digital endorsements alongside traditional media – basically, they can investigate for unfair practice if endorsements aren't disclosed. There's a growing expectation that influencers will include #ad or #sp to posts they've been paid to make. Customers have become pretty savvy, too – they don't believe an Instagrammer keeps a specific brand of mouthwash by their bed at night unless someone's paying them to put it there.
A recent campaign by Listerine (below) attracted attention for all the wrong reasons, not the least of which was the insincerity with which the campaign was executed. In her precisely perfected and utterly unrealistic bedroom (including tortillas disguised as "pancakes"), influencer Scarlett London says, "I do give you a little insight into how I start my day in a positive way." In insisting that it's super real, the sincerity is paradoxically lost. After significant backlash, a subsequent post goes to pains to include, "nope, my morning's [sic] don't usually look like this".
All of this transparency means it's harder than ever to use influencers to sell your stuff. Obviously that's not to say you should deceive customers into buying from you, but a recent seemingly-endless cycle of drama from the makeup influencer industry brought to light a host of potential issues.
In the first of these "I hate drama, but here's some drama" video nightmares, Makeup Geek founder Marlena Stell dropped "$60,000" as a figure one might get paid to make branded content. Although dozens of others came out to clarify that they wish they got paid $60,000, it's not as unrealistic as it's been made to seem. I've seen with my own eyes a rate card that included six-figure sums per Insta post.
Influencers make money for brands, Stell says, so they expect to be paid in return. And that's fair enough; it's just bad news for brands.
People develop a relationship with public figures because they like and trust them. They want to believe what they're being told, because at some level they think the public figure is their friend. They like the content that person posts, and relate to their ideas or enjoy their photos. Social media loyalty is predicated on the sincerity of the content, which is comprehensively compromised when money changes hands.
"It's difficult to be an influencer," Stell sobs in her video, garnering almost no sympathy from viewers who save all year to buy one eyeshadow palette.
Influencers – and the brands that employ them – use tricks to make the content more engaging or more likely to appear in feeds. Just this week, Australia's Triple J radio station reported that tobacco companies were using this kind of marketing to circumvent strict tobacco anti-advertising laws. To make the smokes more appealing, they allegedly instructed influencers to obscure compulsory health warnings on the packets. Unclear disclosure only contributes to consumer distrust. In July, fashion influencers were called out for failing to specify that a Dior saddle bag had been a gift. The fact that some did only exacerbated the "how are we meant to know?" factor.
The problem isn't only that we don't know who to believe. Driving traffic through sponsored content means it's not consumer-led, it's clicks-led. Makeup influencer Samantha Ravndahl, in her (really quite good) "response" video to Stell, admits her subscribers want more of her "early" content – but it just doesn't deliver ROI for sponsors, making it hard to justify.
47% of consumers say they're "fatigued" by repetitive influencer posts. Ravndahl addresses this too, saying some influencers deliberately choose not to disclose because it limits the amount of sponsored content they can share. Influencers know consumers don't want every post to be paid. They know the quality of return for brands bottoms out when they pop #ad on a photo. So consumers know they're being sold to, aren't getting the content they want because it doesn't offer the best engagement rates for businesses, and those relationships aren't being disclosed anyway.
The outcome is predictable. Consumers feel disempowered by the messages they're receiving, and tired of having their buying behaviour manipulated. Influencers they once viewed as honest and likeable are now using them for their affiliate clicks. For brands, the initial rush to have a minor celebrity seen with their product is no longer strategically viable. It's a cycle of diminishing returns: customers don't want to see the sponsored posts, so the audience drops, so there's less value in doing sponsored posts, and on it goes.
(A more cynical writer might suggest this shows there's value in the drama. Influencers with high reaction video views have increased subscriber numbers and now have even bigger audiences to which they can market the next gel cream eyeliner.)
Does this mean social media marketing is bad in general? Nope. The best thing you can do as a business is build a rapport with your customers. The reasons they trust influencers are the same reasons you want them to trust you – you know what they need, and you want them to have the best possible experience.

New Poll: Voters Overwhelmingly Support Stricter Limits on Smog
American Lung Association calls on Administration to reverse proposed changes to weaken the standards that protect health of all Americans
(April 24, 2018) - WASHINGTON, D.C.
Allison MacMunn
Today, the American Lung Association released new poll results showing that voters overwhelmingly support the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enforcing stricter limits on air pollution, including the updated standards for ozone, often called smog, adopted in 2015. The poll results come as the Trump Administration is proposing that EPA dramatically weaken the implementation of air pollution health standards.
Three-quarters of voters support EPA enforcing these stricter limits on smog—with a majority of all respondents strongly supporting. In every demographic group polled, more voters supported than opposed enforcement of the standards. Ozone pollution can cause shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing, asthma attacks, cardiovascular damage and even premature death.
Even after hearing a balanced debate, including strong arguments that reflect the language being used by opponents of the standards, two-thirds of voters support implementing the more protective standards.
"This poll affirms once again that Americans know smog harms their health and want EPA to clean it up," said American Lung Association National President and CEO Harold P. Wimmer. "The American Lung Association is deeply concerned that a new Presidential memo directs EPA to make changes that will result in less ozone cleanup and weaker public health protections. These proposed changes are inconsistent with the Clean Air Act, would threaten health and are wildly out of step with the American people's desire for healthy air."
EPA has an April 30 deadline to identify areas where ozone pollution exceeds the health-based limit, which is the first step to begin to implement the more protective standards. States then have three years to develop and begin to implement cleanup plans. The deadline follows a court order resulting from a lawsuit that the American Lung Association and other groups brought to challenge EPA's failure to meet the Clean Air Act's October 1, 2017 deadline.
Earlier this month, President Trump issued a Presidential Memorandum directing EPA to change how air pollution health standards are set and implemented. The memorandum signals changes that will result in less ozone cleanup now and will make it harder to set future air quality standards that protect public health. The Clean Air Act requires that standards for ozone and other harmful air pollutants be based solely on what the science says is healthy for humans to breathe, with an adequate margin of safety.
Administered by Global Strategy Group, the poll also found that voters nationwide support EPA enforcing stronger health protections against air pollution and are overwhelmingly favorable to clean air policies.
Key findings from the poll include:
75 percent of voters support EPA enforcing its updated stricter limits on smog, with a notable 56 percent of all voters strongly supporting.
Support for stricter limits on smog outweighs opposition among Democrats, Republicans, and independent voters alike. Nearly all Democrats support enforcing the stricter limits (94% support/4% oppose), independent voters support enforcing the limits by more than five-to-one (77% support/15% oppose), and more Republicans support (49%) than oppose (39%) enforcing the limits.
After hearing arguments from both sides of the debate, not only do two-thirds of voters express support (66%), nearly half of voters still express strong support for enforcing these stricter standards.
Voters nationwide are broadly favorable toward the Clean Air Act (65%) and EPA (59%), as well as EPA's efforts to enforce stricter limits on air pollution (74% support, including 48% strongly support).
"An overwhelming, cross-partisan majority of voters in every region across the country voiced support for enforcing these limits," said Andrew Baumann, senior vice president of research at Global Strategy Group.
The Lung Association will continue to ensure that communities across the country have accurate information about the quality of the air they're breathing, and that the cleanup process proceeds without delay to protect the most at risk.
The analysis memo from Global Strategy Group can be found online: http://www.lung.org/assets/documents/healthy-air/poll-results-smog.pdf
Methodology:
Global Strategy Group conducted a telephone survey from March 13 to 15, 2018 among 800 registered voters nationwide. The margin of error is +/- 3.5% at the 95% confidence level and the margin of error for subgroups is greater.

The Zanzibar Volunteer Defence Force was a military unit raised in the British protectorate of Zanzibar during the First World War.  It was formed to supplement the Zanzibar garrison after defeat in the 4 November 1914 Battle of Tanga left British forces in the region on the defensive.  Though enlistment was voluntary almost the entire able-bodied military-age European population of the protectorate joined the unit.  After the British garrison was withdrawn in October 1915 the Zanzibar Volunteer Defence Force and other indigenous units were responsible for the defence of the protectorate.

Background

The British Imperial Service Infantry Brigade was defeated in the 4 November 1914 Battle of Tanga of the  East African campaign.  This put them on the defensive for the following year due to a lack of troops.  British West African troops were tied up in the Kamerun campaign and South African forces in the South West Africa campaign.  British and Indian troops were also largely unavailable due to commitments in other theatres.  British residents in East Africa generally opposed arming native Africans through an expansion of the pre-war King's African Rifles (KAR). They instead banded together in white-only volunteer units such as the Uganda Volunteer Rifles, Northern Rhodesia Rifles, and Nyasaland Volunteer Reserve.

Unit
The Zanzibar Volunteer Defence Force was a development of the Town Guard that had been formed shortly after the start of the war to help the small garrison of one KAR company to defend the protectorate.  After the defeat at Tanga the British resident in Zanzibar requested a full battalion of infantry to defend the protectorate; he received four companies of the Gwalior Rifles that had survived the battle.  He shortly afterwards reorganised the Town Guard into the Zanzibar Volunteer Defence Force, to supplement the garrison.  Enlistment was purely voluntary and open to all military-aged residents of European descent.  A history of the war states that "practically every able-bodied member of the small British community" joined the Zanzibar Volunteer Defence Force.  The unit was commanded by Captain J. H. Sinclair.

In April 1915 the KAR company was withdrawn from the garrison and they were followed by the Gwalior Rifles in October; Zanzibar was thereafter required to be self-sufficient in defence.  Despite the earlier misgivings several new units of African infantry were formed, including the Arab Rifles, East Africa Protectorate Police Battalion, Uganda Police Service Battalion and the Uganda Armed Levies.  The Zanzibar Volunteer Defence Force was reinforced by a company of the (African) Zanzibar Armed Constabulary.  Men from the police were also formed into the Zanzibar African Rifles, which was later incorporated as the 7th battalion of the KAR; the Mafia Armed Constabulary was also formed at this time.

Movement is the crossing of space by people, objects, capital, ideas and other information. It is either oriented, and therefore occurs between an origin and one or more destinations, or it is more akin to the idea of simply wandering, with no real origin or destination.
Robert Smithson and the gold rush
It is alongside a highway under construction that we find Robert Smithson, whose work we analyzed in the previous post . Where does this long expanse of asphalt the construction equipment is unfurling actually lead? What does it tell us about the way we develop? What drives us to build it?
"Actually, if you think about tracks of any kind you'll discover that you could use tracks as a medium. […]These tracks around a puddle that I photographed, in a sense explain my whole way of… going through trails and developing a network and then building this network into a set of limits 1 ."
It is alongside a highway under construction that we find Robert Smithson, whose work we analyzed in the previous post 2 . Where does this long expanse of asphalt the construction equipment is unfurling actually lead? What does it tell us about the way we develop? What drives us to build it?
Our discussion will focus on the "narrative work of art," or "narrative sculpture 3 ," The Monuments of Passaic, a work consisting of a text in conjunction with a series of 24 photographs, published for the first time in the December 1967-edition of Artforum magazine. Starting in late 1966, Robert Smithson carried out expeditions, often accompanied by a group of artist friends, sometimes abroad (like his trip to the ruins of Yucatan in 1969) but oft times to transitional areas in the U.S. (typically suburbs) bearing the earmarks of entropy 4 , which the artist viewed as latent in the development of modern capitalism.
Passaic, New Jersey is a place the artist knew well, as that is where he grew up. This suburb, in which the work originated, most notably features a road lined with shops and a defunct quarry on the edge of a highway under construction that is now a vast wasteland. Robert Smithson clearly places his work in a dynamic, a movement he describes in detail from the outset:
"On Saturday, September 30, 1967, I went to the Port Authority Building on 41st Street and 8th Avenue. I bought a copy of the New York Times and a Signet paperback called Earthworks, by Brian W. Aldiss 5 . Next, I went to ticket booth 21 and purchased a one-way ticket to Passaic. After that, I went up to the upper bus level (platform 173) and boarded the number 30 bus of the Inter-City Transportation Co 6 ."
He left New York and got off here, at this stop, in a New Jersey wasteland, which at first glance seems rather surprising. We could not ignore the artist's use of mobility here as a laboratory instrument. By leaving New York by bus, he destabilizes himself, leaving the city but - more importantly - himself, his preconceptions 7 and the influences and determinism of society behind, as he prepares himself to welcome a new vision. And, along the way, where does he stop? Precisely there, where no one would choose to stop — a place of abandonment and chaos.
His movement should be understood as a lesson in poetry, or, How to give birth to a new vision and a new vocabulary. Smithson did not know where his journey would lead him. He did not set out in search of something specific; he set out as a recipient, to receive by surveying this non-site through photos, metaphors, and visual and verbal bursts. Smithson created in the same way that Jack Kerouac wrote (remember that Smithson was very close to the Beat Generation for a time); not seeking to flush out an idea directly but rather to hover over it, simply letting the words flow, like in free jazz 8 . And Smithson walked and walked, and never stopped moving, following lines like musical themes, taking them to the extreme.
The figure of the line (line-tracking) is essential in Smithson's work. Is mobility, however, something other than a drawing? We recall the line in the sand of which Barnett Newman speaks: pure line, man's first drawing. The author of Onements (and a primitive art enthusiast) and Smithson himself would certainly have appreciated the words of Tim Ingold 9 :
"We [spend] our lives not only in places, but also on the road. But roads are, in some ways, like lines. It is also on the road that individuals forge knowledge of the world around them and describe it in the stories they tell… Among the Inuit, a person need only start moving to become a line. To hunt an animal or find someone who may be lost, the Inuit draw a linear path in the wilderness and go in search of clues leading to another path, until they achieve their objective. The whole country is seen as an interlacing of lines and not a continuous surface 10 ."
Through this clearly marked movement, Smithson plots out the first line of a drawing that he must make the effort to construct himself mentally (one could just as easily do it on paper) throughout the text and photos. Using a thick line (the first), he connects the verticality of New York (the second line), the symbol of an economic model par excellence that was intended to be triumphant, with the horizontality (third line) of the Passaic brownfield. This horizontality quickly gives way to an inverted verticality (fourth line – excuse the didacticism, which I will now abandon but that should, in reality, be pursued), when Smithson tells us that the ruins we see are not those of the past but those of the future, of the world in the making—a system that inherently tends towards its own entropy.
Smithson's creative process developed within a context of continuous movement – physical movement that doubles (and is inseparable) from movement in time (the past, but also, as in a science fiction novel, the future). Moving helps us see precisely because it allows us to connect a space to the timeline of its history and its destiny.
The context of the mid-60s is important for understanding Smithson's relationship to mobility. Robert Hobbs gives us some insight: "During this decade, in the United States, the inauguration of a vast highway network and the exploration of zones situated beyond the earth's stratosphere revolutionized the concept of space… The highways – or superhighways as they came to be called – would slash the American landscape and lay bare the very fiber of the earth's crust, its synclines and its anticlines, and the roughness of its rock strata. Driving along any superhighway meant going nowhere. Even moving, we seem to remain stationary. Beyond the windshield paraded a series of visual clichés, a landscape of imperturbable monotony: the same service stations, the same rest areas, the same cloverleaf intersections, the same motels… These highways thus constituted a kind of paved corridor that visually contracted America, which hitherto seemed to extend to infinity… The exploration of outer space has shrunk this infinity but this time into a "frozen" void… Although a vacuum, the space was neither open nor free; it wasn't another Far West, but something even greater, waiting to be conquered… In the minds of the late 50s and 60s, man, in space, appeared motionless and helpless. For this reason, space became synonymous with nowhere 11 ."
The excitement surrounding the conquest of the West, those railroad tracks that opened new horizons of adventure and opportunity, which advanced thanks to the dreams of humankind to build a more just society - proclaimed the values of the New World, the model for all of humanity henceforth. These tracks we build now lead nowhere, Smithson tells us, or rather – which he proves – they lead to the development model that, for better or for worse, conceals its own ruined power, its next cataclysm.
We no longer go forth to lay the foundations for a new society; we do not build highways for ideals of freedom, justice or fulfillment but to respond to the dictates of a system that demands ever-increasing efficiency for even greater profitability, which standardizes and sterilizes the landscape—in short, a system that is doomed. Somewhere along the way, the objective veered from the Cape of Existence to that of a disembodied economy. And Smithson, here the embodiment of the romantic Wanderer 12 , hides his melancholy in this world so thoroughly disenchanted behind ironic humor. The scar that is Passaic, which he wields before us screamingly, asks us: toward what gold is modern society rushing now?
Robert Smithson was an avid reader and, as we know, was particularly fond of science fiction writer J.G. Ballard 13 . Many parallels can be drawn between his work and that of Ballard. In the short story "The Voices of Time" (1960), Ballard has his scientist-character Powers build a mandala, a giant concrete ideogram on a salt lake, not unlike Smithson's iconic work Spiral Jetty, on the Great Salt Lake in Utah in 1970. In Ballard's story we also find this idea of roads (here, journeys into outer space) without destination:
"[…] had a long discussion about the Mercury Seven. He's convinced that they refused to leave the moon deliberately, after the 'reception party' waiting for them had put them in the cosmic picture. They were told by the mysterious emissaries from Orion that the exploration of deep space was pointless, that they were too late as the life of the universe is now virtually over 14 !!!"
Can we see an incarnation of these roads, highways and bus routes in this convoluted path that is Spiral Jetty, for instance? A path that leads nowhere, that spirals into itself until everything stops (the black hole at the end of the spiral) and dies – the ultimate point of "crystallization."
"At the end, he [Robert Smithson, walking on Spiral Jetty] takes a few moments, seemingly waiting – for what, it's not clear. Perhaps this crystallization…of which the forest and people who venture into it in J.G. Ballard's novel The Crystal World - about whose publication Smithson (himself enamored by crystallography) was enthused - are the victims 15 ."
Over the years, the rising waters of the Great Salt Lake have also destroyed Spiral Jetty, as though the natural processes themselves sought to attest to the modern entropy embodied by the highway to nowhere along which Smithson walks, in Passaic—the aimless path of the "spiral jetty."
"The big spirals are breaking up, and they're saying goodbye 16 .

Juan Trippe may be described as the father of commercial aviation. Trippe founded the first aviation club at Yale University and later founded Pan American Airlines in 1927. Trippe spent a fortine transforming a small island in the Pacific into an airport for travel across the Pacific Ocean. As a result, Pan Am Clippers were soon crossing the Pacific and regular passenger flights became a reality. This reproduction would look great in an album or display.


The Swedish Customs Service seized record quantities of heroin, opium and ecstasy in 2006, according to fresh statistics.
These statistics include seizures made before 22 December, meaning that the large quantity of cocaine discovered before the Christmas weekend is not accounted for in the new figures.
"The Customs Service is always advancing. Seizures increased in 2006 and we have noted record quantities of seized heroin, opium and ecstasy," said customs director Karin Starrin in a statement.
In 2005 the Customs service confiscated 9 kilos of heroin, compared to 60 kilos this year.
The opium haul for this year amounted to 39 kilos, up from 21 kilos in 2005.
And Customs officers will be raving for some time about the 245,745 ecstasy tablets seized in 2006. The figure for 2005 was 72,700.
"We intend for Customs Service operations to disrupt organised crime, and narcotics crime in particular. Our assessment is that we have succeeded in that," said Starrin.


I started this blog back in January 2015 when I left for a semester in the States, as a way of keeping my friends and family updated on all my adventures, instead of copy/pasting the same story 10 times. I currently live in Gibraltar, having just completed a degree in Events Management at Bournemouth University.
You can probably see I write a bit of everything and anything on here - but mostly lifestyle, travel and beauty. It is all fairly light hearted and if you know me personally, you'll find my personality pretty much comes through on my posts. Also incase some of you aren't aware by what the meaning behind the blog name is...it simply means to enjoy a cup of tea whilst reading my blog (not that my blog is dedicated to writing about tea or that my name is tea) I hope you find this blog enjoyable to read as much as I love writing the posts!

Rain Therapeutics Clinical Trials
A clinical trial is a controlled study where an experimental drug or device is tested in humans. The purpose of a clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy (how well it works) of an experimental drug or device. To participate in a clinical trial, you must meet all eligibility criteria and be willing to following the directions of the study doctor.
Rain is currently conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial studying tarloxotinib (Tarlox) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR Exon 20 or HER2-activating mutations and other advanced solid tumors with NRG1/ERBB family gene fusions. To learn more about NSCLC, EGFR/HER2 mutations, NRG1/ERBB fusions, Tarlox and details about the clinical trial, continue reading below. If you have any additional questions, you can contact the study center in your area.
Non-small cell lung cancer is a specific kind of lung cancer. Treatment options can include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy depending on the stage, however, there are targeted treatment strategies currently in development that have the potential to be safer and more effective.
Rain Therapeutics is currently developing a targeted therapy (Tarlox) specifically for certain types of EGFR and HER2 mutations in NSCLC.
NSCLC includes the following subtypes:
Adenosquamous carcinoma
Large Cell Carcinoma
Other Histologies
EGFR Exon 20 and HER2 Mutations
EGFR Exon 20 or HER2 gene mutations induce abnormal activation of these proteins in lung cancer cells that drives the growth of tumors. It is estimated that 2% to 5% of NSCLC tumors have either EGFR Exon 20 or HER2-activating mutations. Currently there are no FDA-approved therapies specifically for EGFR Exon 20 or activating mutations in NSCLC. It is often difficult to treat patients whose cancer is caused by these mutations – currently available treatments are sometimes associated with side-effects that prevent doctors from effectively treating the cancer.
NRG1 / ERBB Fusions
NRG1 or EGFR gene fusions, EGFR kinase domain duplications, ERBB2 (HER2) gene fusions, and ERBB4 (HER4) gene fusions induce abnormal activation of these proteins in cancer cells that drives the growth of tumors. It is estimated that 1% of solid tumors have these fusions. There are no FDA-approved therapies specifically for these mutations. It is often difficult to treat patients whose cancer is caused by these mutations – currently available treatments are sometimes associated with side-effects that prevent doctors from effectively treating the cancer.
Tarloxotinib
Tarloxotinib (Tarlox) is a targeted therapy that inhibits EGFR and HER2. It is unique because it is a prodrug, which means that it remains inactive until it is triggered to convert into the active drug. Specifically, Tarlox converts to its active form in the tumor itself and remains inactive in most other tissues in the body. Because it is targeted specifically at EGFR and HER2 and because it is activated in the tumor, Tarlox has the potential to be safer and more effective than other drugs of its kind.
See the video where Rain co-founder Dr. Robert Doebele explains how Tarlox works here
Details about the Clinical Trial
Rain Therapeutics is currently conducting a clinical trial for patients suffering from NSCLC with EGFR Exon 20 and HER2-activating mutations and other advanced solid tumors with NRG1/ERBB family gene fusions.
This study will enroll approximately 85 people in the United States, Canada and Hong Kong
Tarlox will be given as a weekly intravenous (IV) infusion
People can continue to receive Tarlox infusions until their cancer progresses or until they develop toxicities
There is an observation period following each infusion where people will need to remain at the study site
People on the study will need to have frequent tumor assessments
Blood will be collected to test how Tarlox is affecting your body

Does This Help Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), Hold Back BlackBerry Ltd (BBRY)?
Published on August 6, 2013 at 10:00 am by Chris Bibey in News
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) don't have an easy go at it in the smartphone market. While these two companies continue to fight for market share, they are doing so from far behind iOS and Android.
With this in mind, both companies are looking for a way to set themselves apart from the competition. Even more so, both companies are hoping to lock into the third spot in the market for an easier chance of heading to the top in the near future.
What is Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) doing?
According to a recent blog post, Microsoft is making a change that Windows Phone 8 users are sure to enjoy.
Steve Ballmer and company are upgrading Bing for Windows Phone 8, including new search result categories, streamlined interface, and bigger thumbnails. Along with this, it will bring faster results.
In the next few weeks, these updates are going to show up automatically on those using a Windows 8 smartphone in the United States. From there, additional markets are going to receive the upgrade as well.
The ability to implement Bing, while also making changes such as these, is one of the reasons why Microsoft is in better position than BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY). This gives Microsoft something to hang its hat on.
Thorsten Heins and his BlackBerry team are not living in the past. They know that past success has nothing to do with where the company is headed in the future. Unfortunately, the company has yet to do anything that sets it apart from the competition.
Sure, its new BlackBerry 10 operating system is better than anything it offered users in the past. But is this really enough?
There used to be a time when BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) was known as the most secure smartphone. It seems as those days are long gone. Even the Pentagon is opening its doors to other vendors.
Whether or not this latest change from Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) works in the company's favor is up in the air. Regardless of the results, the ability to implement Bing into its smartphones is a big deal.
It is safe to say that the likes of Tim Cook and Larry Page are aware of what Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) are doing. It is also safe to assume that they are not shaking in their boots just yet.
These hedge fund managers seem to like what Microsoft is doing: Sandy Nairn, Kelly Cardwell, Jeffrey Ubben, and James Litinsky.
Do you feel the same way?

No, I'm not talking about self-publishing here. I'll leave that for another post. Instead, I'll describe a process that's worked for me. Both my first novel Absolution and my upcoming second novel A Stone for Bread were submitted to their publishers without an agent.
The Absolution manuscript was entered into the Novello Festival Press competition, which it won, resulting in its publication. Prior to that, it had been represented by an agent but didn't publish (see my post "The Value of an Agent"). A Stone for Bread was accepted for publication after seven presses to which I'd submitted it turned it down.
The important thing to know about submitting a novel manuscript on your own is that this isn't rocket science. You'll find all the advice and information you'll ever need through the Internet and in reference books such as Novel & Short Story Market. That's the book I used, but make sure you get the up-dated version. I downloaded it on Kindle. Don't worry, I'm not being paid to sell you something. There are other publishing guidebooks as well, and most will be at your local library.
–You will need to be very clear with yourself about your unpublished manuscript, that is, what kind of fiction you're writing, whether adventure, romance, literary, historical, mystery, etc. and your target audience, teenagers or mystery lovers or so forth.
–Then you need to sort through your list of publishers (also check out novel competitions), looking for those you think are the right fit for the novel you've written. Since you'll be submitting without an agent, skip over any publisher that doesn't accept unsolicited manuscripts. But you'll still be scanning through a long list, so this won't be a quick project.
I did my research of publishers over a number of weeks, perusing ten to twenty pages of listings whenever I had the time. I jotted down notes about publishers I thought might be good places for my manuscript, until I had covered the entire list. Yet even then, I was far from finished.
My next post will talk about further steps to take, most of which are exceedingly time-consuming. But for me they worked.
However, there's the one X factor in all of this that's more important than anything else you do. You must have a good manuscript. You must also have completed it. Queries with outlines or sample chapters from an unfinished manuscript seldom work for a new or unpublished writer. And your manuscript must be polished and properly formatted, spell and grammar checked. Nothing beats excellence in writing!
Stay tuned for suggestions for what to do next.

Other pet or home care services such as errands, light shopping, etc.
All pets need a break during the long work day, double shifts or unexpected overtime. Most pets cannot do without a potty break for more than 6 hours. This service is especially beneficial for puppies and elderly dogs who cannot go for more than a few hours without needing to be relieved. We can provide this service for first and second shifts. We will let your pet out to go to the bathroom, get some fresh air, stretch, relieve some anxiety, play with toys or play ball and have some treats (if allowed). We'll provide food and fresh water, administer medication if needed, clean up accidents, leave daily notes about each visit, and always give lots of TLC and personal attention.
Your best buddy will enjoy staying at home while you are away for an extended period of time. Animals are happiest and least stressed when they are in their own "territory." A familiar environment, diet, and exercise routine are all essential to your pet's well-being. Eliminating the trauma of being transported in a carrier and minimizing exposure to illnesses from other animals at kennels will make your pet's time away from you much happier. We will let your pet out to go to the bathroom, provide fresh food and water, administer medications if needed, clean up accidents, scoop litter boxes/change pet liners, water plants, bring in the mail and newspaper, take trash to the curb, rotate lights to make home look occupied, perform security checks on doors and windows, provide loving playtime with your pet and always give lots of TLC and personal attention.
We'll stay at your home while you're on vacation, take care of your pets, water indoor/outdoor plants, take out trash, bring in mail/newspapers, clean pet waste from the yard, walk the dog(s), and always give your special companions lots of TLC and personal attention.
• $50 per night Includes: caring for pet when you leave, spending the night, and caring for pet until you return the next day.
For good health and well-being, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. A regular routine of walking may be exactly what your dog needs to maintain his/her health for many years.
We will pick up and dispose of dog waste from your yard once a week. There will be an additional charge for clean-up of large amounts of waste from a yard that has not been recently cleaned.
*Please note that depending on services requested, a one hour visit may be necessary.

CRAIG BARNES Staff WriterSUN-SENTINEL
Brown was graduated from FSU in 1974, and Bowden has one memory of coaching against him he would rather forget. In 1982 with an Orange Bowl bid on the line, LSU beat the Seminoles 55-21 in Baton Rouge. Florida State went on to beat West Virginia 31-12 in the Gator Bowl. "Mack's offense wore us out that night. He's always been one of the top offensive minds in the game, especially in coaching the option, which North Carolina runs so well," Bowden said... Darrell Moody, a Tar Heels offensive assistant, and Chuck Amato, a Seminoles defensive assistant, were teammates at N.C. State in the late '60s... With the game drawing so much attention in North Carolina, Florida State cornerback Clifton Abraham was asked if the pressure had reached the Seminoles. "I've already played in three games of the century," Abraham said... Ward suffered his first interception of the season as well as his first lost fumble. Ward had 10 interceptions in the first three games last season... Florida State is the fourth No. 1 team to play in Kenan Stadium. The last one was Notre Dame, 40 years ago, and the Irish beat the Tar Heels 34-14 on Nov. 14, 1953... Bowden's road record is 75-30-2 and his only FSU team to play in Kenan Stadium was a 20-10 winner in 1985.
