Buyer of $28m Blue Origin space ticket has a scheduling conflict – so this teen will go instead
A Dutch 18-year-old is set to be the youngest person to go into space after securing at the last minute a seat on Blue Origin's first commercial spaceflight. Oliver Daemen will ride atop the aerospace upstart's New Shepard rocket, which is expected to launch on July 20. And he'll have Blue Origin supremo Jeff Bezos, Bezos' …

All I got when I was 18 was a very brief freefall experience on Oblivion at Alton Towers.

You were lucky to have a freefall experience! At 18 all I had is to eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat me around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if I was lucky!

You had hot gravel? You soft Southern la-de-da! We had to eat our gravel cold! And we had to pick out all t'bluntest bits to give to our ma, who would, if we were lucky, regurgitate them into our waiting beaks... ah no, wait, I'm getting confused with baby birds again. Never mind.

My 18th birthday was a company (burr brown) pub party because it was the first time they'd made a profit. I wouldn't have went except a guy from stores was going and he was born the same day in the same town and I wanted to investigate him. He got off with a 28 year old barmaid who he'd been screwing for a while.
I just got free drinks. I had a wee round table in front of me full of free drinks. I'm creative though, so the drinks were in a rainbow of colours.
Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can drink a rainbow

Time to change the rules
These are not astronauts, these are payloads. After all, nobody gets pilot wings being a passenger on an airplane.

Re: Time to change the rules
To be fair, Wally's an astronaut ... but on this trip, she's just a passenger on board what is in essence a Vomit Comet taken to it's illogical conclusion.
Perhaps we should change the "been into space" meaning from "poked nose above Kármán Line" to something more along the lines of "entered stable orbit requiring engine firing to return to Earth".
Friday 16th July 2021 08:49 GMT Flocke Kroes
Orbit is about 30x as difficult as space so I am a bit of a snob about orbit compared to space. I am sure there have been plenty of mission specialists who were not pilots. They were effectively cargo on the way up and down but did useful research and maintenance while in space. I am quite happy calling them astronauts along with pilots in pressure suits who flew experimental aircraft to over 80km altitude without performing scientific research with their other hands.
$1M to 19 charities is more than I have ever done and probably exceeds the sum of everyone else here too. Although "space tourist" may be a more accurate term I am not going to get angry about Jeff+fellow travellers getting called astronauts. The world is far from perfect but please try to see some of the good bits rather than focusing entirely on the bad and spending a shortened life being angry all the time.
As I said, Wally's an astronaut. Did the training, should have had the oportunity to go into space decades ago. The other three are just tourists ... not even that, really. What is the proper noun for a rider of amusement park rides?
The payload specialists & etc. who spend time in space are definitely astronauts, they've been through the training and spent enough time up there to do meaningful work. I would say the early test pilots in the astronaut programs are also included. But the three pure "look at me, I'm rich!" tourists? Not so much.
Who is angry? Just musing on the obvious need for the English Language to mutate a little bit once again.
"What is the proper noun for a rider of amusement park rides?"
A Coaster.

"As I said, Wally's an astronaut. Did the training" - nope. She "underwent the same physiological screening tests as had the astronauts selected by NASA on April 9, 1959, for Project Mercury". In a completely unofficial and privately funded programme.
Saturday 17th July 2021 19:51 GMT jake
Way to quote out of context. What they went through was a lot more extensive than a psych exam. They also did a lot of physical testing, and training ... which NASA ignored, being the misogynistic good ol' boys club that it was in the early '60s.
If anybody cares, look up The Mercury 13.

Tuesday 20th July 2021 19:21 GMT Dom 3
Like I wrote - "physiological screening".
It was Eisenhower that decreed that the Mercury astronauts should be military test pilots.
These days of course it has been mandated that the next American moon landing will include the first woman on the moon. Why can't she be chosen on merit? Why the tokenism?
FWIW - for a Mars shot I reckon an all-female crew makes a lot of sense. Although that of course will never happen.
Tuesday 20th July 2021 21:19 GMT jake
Sorry, mea culpa, for some reason I read that as "psychological screening". They also did that ... and quite extensively,too. My point was that their training was pretty close to the same as the actual astronauts, but without the physical NASA space mock-up training aids.
As you wrote: "Why can't she be chosen on merit? Why the tokenism?"
Because Tokenism is the new black; It's what is in fashion these days. Who needs merit when we've got a quota to fill‽‽‽
Paraphrasing Malcolm X: "What gains? All you have gotten is tokenism — three or four Women in a job, or at a lunch counter, or on the Moon, or as Vice President, so the rest of you will be quiet."
Thursday 22nd July 2021 22:47 GMT Dom 3
Sorry, I have to disagree. They did the *testing* not the *training*.

I'm not sure the suggestion was to draw a direct comparison of "pilot = astronaut", more "crew vs. passengers". Mission specialists still had the capability to perform significant crew duties and will have cross-trained for a bunch of tasks that they are not expected to actually perform except in an emergency.
Many of a ship's crew are not bridge crew or helm-trained. They might not be involved in the intricacies of casting off from a quayside or getting from a harbour to the open sea. There's nonetheless a difference between crew and passengers.
Saturday 17th July 2021 18:08 GMT Anonymous Coward
Angry at perceived anger? What if your perception is wrong? Then you are "spending a shortened life being angry" for nothing. Oops.
The good bits are Bezos and passengers are enjoying themselves and providing employment for people who want to work with rockets.
I think there is unlikely to be any lasting contribution to science, however.
The charity angle seems pretty unrelated to me - the scale is so different. Bezos spends about 3 billion a year on Blue Horizon.
Again, who is angry?
Colo(u)r me confuzled.
IMHO you're an astronaut if you're part of the working crew of a "ship" going into space. And you're needed and trained to operate the ship or perform the ship tasks in space - even if you're not the pilot. Otherwise you're passenger.
And still nobody woulds say a flight attendant, or even needed operators on military planes, are "aviators". Air(wo)man, yes.
Anyway soon this way the term will become inflated, and real astronauts will need a new name.
And it's not being angry, but I don't like when words are emptied of their real meaning.
Yes, ultimately having a separate word for "someone who has been to space" will be a bit redundant.
You'll have flight crew, passengers, etc just like flying. You might be a frequent flyer, but you're still a a passenger.
We're just in that awkward transition phase where the market starts to open up from a handful of pioneers to "public access".

"After all, nobody gets pilot wings being a passenger on an airplane."
Not true! I was given wings as a small child. Made me so happy. But even I knew better than to claim it made me a pilot. This "youngest astronaut" claim reminds me of the fallacy of the beard, i.e. one whisker does not equal a beard. There are those who are clearly astronauts, there are those who are arguably astronauts, and there are those who are definitely not astronauts. What is the word for someone who is definitely not an astronaut, but says they are?
I got THREE sets! One from BOAC, one from Pan Am and one from TWA :-)
Flying BOAC as an American family in the mid 1960s was an exercise in frustration ... the Very British ground and cabin staff were even more snooty towards Yanks than most ElReg commentards. We only flew them twice ... Dad figured the first time was a fluke. In his mind, no public facing company could be that rude to it's customers and stay in business for very long. I guess he didn't realize they were State owned ...
Sunday 18th July 2021 08:50 GMT Danny 14
heady days. I remember being allowed to talk to the captain and look in the aircraft cockpit as a teenager. I was in the ATC at the time and the captain was ex ATC. I was given a small enamel wings too, we chatted about flying as I was half way through my glider pilots at the time. Granted this was 40 years ago, in a different era.
As for the article, if I had this much disposable income i'd jump at the chance to be a real kerbal.

Blue Origin Ticket
Anyone interested?
This may be of interest to one of you. A friend of mine has a ticket
for a flight on Blue Origin. He paid $28 million, but he didn't
realise when he bought it that it was going to be the same day as his
Covid 19 postponed wedding. If you are interested, he is looking for
someone to take his place.
It's at Pontypridd Registry Office, at 4.30pm. The Bride's name is
Megan, she's 29, about 5'4", quite pretty, has her own income and
is a really good cook.

only SOME of the 28 mill is going to charity?
"At least some of the money from the auction will go to Blue Origin's non-profit firm Club for the Future, which will donate $1m to 19 charities."
So Bezos the richest scumbag man in the work will pocket most of the 27 mill left? Oh god we are so screwed by the rich.
Re: only SOME of the 28 mill is going to charity?
I think that was 1 million to 19 charities EACH (so 19 million total). But yeah, that still leaves a cool 8 million.
There's been days I've had less income. (over 12.000 and counting so far)
Just days? There have been entire years for me ... Decades, in fact (the first two were particularly bad).
what do you think 12000 days entails?
Sounds like you might be in need of a humo(u)r transplant.

The money is going to Blue Origin, not Jeff Bezos personally.
Building and testing and launching the rocket wasn't free. It was an investment made in the hope of making money by selling tickets in future. Like the way every other startup company works.
28 million is actually not that much compared to how much has already been invested in this.
Be thankful that some of the money is going to charity. Don't begrudge the company it's revenue.

Q: Cyclicity of finite group
If $g$ is a primitive root of $p$ (i.e. $\mathbb{F}_p^{\times}=\langle g \rangle$) show that two consecutive powers of $g$ have consecutive least residues. That is, show that there exists $k$ such that $g^{k+1} \equiv g^k + 1 \pmod{p}$. Can this be generalized to an arbitrary finite cyclic group?

Thank you so much.

A: Since $g-1$ is invertible in the field, then there is $x=g^k$ such that $x(g-1)=1$.

There's nothing quite like the "fashion insurance" policy that is mixing things up, and it seems that many of London's style savvy shoppers are more than a little prepared to go the extra mile to create a unique look.
We teamed up with TK Maxx, the famous 'labels for less retailer' to see what Londoners had to say about style, sales and shopping habits in 'Treasure Seekers: London'.
After scouring the streets of the capital to find some street style stars, we interviewed the less shy of the bunch on film to see what 'Treasure Seeking' meant to them.
From Soho to Shoreditch, we saw everything from fruity brights to printed ponchos, check out the snaps and video on the TK Maxx' Facebook Page.

My primary photographic subject is landscape photography. I came to photograph cars not as a professional occupation, but because I wanted beautiful photographs of my personal cars for my own enjoyment.
In short, car photography was, and still is, a hobby. I enjoy photographing cars to change my mind from landscape photography. I find car photography to be fun and relaxing. I photograph my own cars, as well as cars that I like and cars in historical, racing or other interesting settings.
We all have cars. Or we will all have cars. That is, unless we committed ourselves to public transportation for the rest of our lives, or resolved ourselves to using a bicycle, or decided that walking will be our only form of locomotion.
While we may own the cars we photograph, many of the cars we want to photograph are not owned by us. They are either too expensive, too unique, or simply not for sale. This is the case for race cars, in particular those being raced at the present time, because they are the sole property of the race teams. It is also the case for unique vehicles that belong to museums or to private collectors and of cars that are simply too pricy to purchase. Finally, regardless of our level of income, we simply cannot own all the cars we like. While some succeed at assembling a fascinating collection over many years, doing so is not commonplace. Furthermore, no matter how much we try, there will always be certain cars that stay away from ownership reach.
Because of this, for many car enthusiasts seeing cars in person and bringing back photographs of these cars is an important aspect of enjoying the vehicles we like. I should say 'bringing back good photographs' or better 'bringing back great photographs. ' This is what this is all about. Owning a great photograph of a great car is almost as good as owning a great car. Not quite the same, I agree. You cannot drive the photograph, you cannot hear the scream of the engine when looking at an image and you do not have the scent of leather, oil and gas. But when you have seen and experienced the real car, a good photograph has the power of bringing this back to you when you look at the image. Why? Because a great photograph captures not just the look of the car. It also captures its soul.
A great photograph captures not only what the car looks like but also, and most importantly, how the car feels. It has the power of bringing back the emotions generated by the car. It represents what the car means to you, both on a factual and an emotional level. It also offers the opportunity of sharing your vision with others through your photographs, and of making them see and feel what you saw and felt.
I do car photography for my personal enjoyment, my primary photographic activity being landscape photography. However, this series of car photographs has been very well received and I have had a lot of questions about how I created them. I therefore created an eBook to explain how these photographs were created, to express my approach to car photography and to describe my vision.
I also decided to create an eFolio, an electronic version of a Folio, to present a selection of my favorite car photographs. Ninety photographs are featured in the eFolio. These ninety images represent my initial selection from hundreds, if not thousands, of car photographs.
Later this year I plan to release a Folio, a physical collection of 5×7 images printed on 8×10 fine art paper, accompanied by an artist statement, a biography and a colophon and presented in a die-cut Folio enclosure. This physical Folio will feature 15 car photographs. Therefore, from my eFolio initial selection of 90 images, I will have to remove 75 photographs to get to the final selection of 15 photographs that will be included in the Folio. This will be a tough process since I will have to eliminate about three fourth of the images featured in the eFolio.

Home 5 Our Work 5 Land Stewardship and Conservation 5 Camp Bullis Sentinel Landscape Partnership
The Lone Star State's First Sentinel Landscape
The Camp Bullis Sentinel Landscape Partnership is a locally-led, collaborative group focused on conserving natural resources, strengthening military readiness, and bolstering agricultural productivity around Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis.
Camp Bullis is located in northern Bexar County on the Edwards Aquifer Recharge and Contributing Zones. Here, Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) provides training opportunities for 266 mission partners; this includes supporting all Department of Defense (DoD) enlisted and officer medical training, military intelligence, special forces, pre-deployment, national, and international training requirements.
Camp Bullis Military Training Reservation is a U.S. Army training camp comprising more than 27,000 acres in Bexar County, Texas, just northwest of San Antonio. – Joint Base San Antonio
With rapid population growth emanating from San Antonio and the I-35 corridor, the Texas Hill Country and Camp Bullis are facing a mounting number of challenges affecting the long-term resilience of the region's natural resources. New development contributes to the loss of agricultural lands and increased light pollution, impacting nighttime military training. Growing demands on existing water supply have led to the loss of spring flow and aquifer drawdowns, impacting drinking water supplies for Camp Bullis, rural landowners, towns, and cities.
These and other challenges have attracted a myriad of partners to come together to create a collective vision for how to invest in protecting the natural resources that define the region as it grows. Since 2021, HCA has coordinated this collaborative effort, engaging dozens of partner organizations to collaborate towards shared goals.
Collaborative work will especially focus on supporting private landowners with technical and financial resources that align with their stewardship goals. Thoughtful land stewardship provides rippling benefits, not only for the private landowner, but for society and future generations. Good land stewardship enhances water quality and quantity, mitigates floods and drought, supports agricultural productivity, and improves wildlife habitat.
The partnership will seek public and private funding to support a variety of on-the-ground stewardship needs, including: improving soil health and infiltration; managing hillside erosion and creek-bank stability; and increasing native plant diversity and abundance.Landowners within the multi-county focal area will then have the opportunity to apply for funding to support a variety of practices, from grazing management and prescribed fire, to creating erosion-control features, and drill seeding grasses.
The Partnership will also work to address regional challenges and opportunities, including: reducing light pollution that impairs nighttime training capabilities at Camp Bullis; mitigating wildfire risks to the military installation and nearby communities; and enhancing access to outdoor recreational opportunities.

She closed her eyes, soon falling asleep herself.
Hours later, the sun soon came up.
Violet awoke, sitting up and looking around the cave.
She got to her feet, stepping outside. She looked over to Audren, her ears twitching in thought.
He stirred a little bit.
She walked across the clearing to a small garden on one side, picking a few leaves off of various plants.
Audren woke up and got to his feet, stretching.
She looked over to him.
He held out his arms, looking at the burns.
She brought the leaves back into the cave.
She lied them across the rock shelf, then sat down on her bed.
Audren leaped up into the tree and turned himself in a direction away from most of the clearing and just gazed off into the distance.
She leaned against the wall, looking at the weak flame of one of the torches on the wall.
He looked back behind him in Violet's direction briefly.
She tapped her feet on the cave floor, watching the flame, her ears twitching.
Audren hopped down from the tree and walked over to Violet.
She looked up at him as he neared.
He stopped and looked at the weakly glowing torch, then snapped his fingers to make a small flame appear.
He blew the dim flame of the torch out and used the fire on his hand to light the torch to a more luminent state, then smiled.
She smiled, nodding. "Much better!"
Audren made the fire on his hand disappear and nodded back.
She watched the flame, still smiling faintly.

Three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Josie Long announces tour dates
The three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Josie Long is finally back with a brand new show and heads to Oxford's Old Fire Station Thursday 30 to Friday 31 January.
The three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee is finally back on the road next year with a brand-new show about the mind-bending intensity of new motherhood, but it is also about kindness, gentleness and joy.
A cult-optimist herself, Josie wants her audiences to feel optimistic about the future, although in this current day and age, that's a big ask. But at the very least there will be some silly voices. Of course, its Josie Long: society's biggest issues that we're facing today, from climate change to Boris Johnson, cannot be ignored, but Tender's main focus is about bringing new life into this ever-changing world.
Having started performing comedy at just 14, Josie went on to win the BBC New Comedy Award, Chortle Best Newcomer, Best Newcomer at the 2006 Edinburgh Comedy Awards and then was nominated for Best Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards three years running. She has since sold out West End runs, performed at the most prestigious comedy festivals in the world, written five solo tours and sold out shows in LA and New York.
On screen, Josie has been seen on 8 Out of 10 Cats (Channel 4), Never Mind the Buzzcocks (BBC2), You Have Been Watching (Channel 4) and Skins (Channel 4), for which she also wrote. She has presented on BBC 6Music, was nominated for a Radio Academy Award for her adventurous short documentaries Short Cuts on Radio 4 and earned a BAFTA Scotland New Talent Award nomination for her two short feature films, Let's Go Swimming and Romance and Adventure and her recent feature film, Super November, was nominated for a BIFA Discovery Award.
In 2011, Josie started an ongoing project called the Alternative Reality Tour; an anti-cuts, pro-youth, no-profit performance in a bid to fight for social justice and support public art, and is co-founder of the Arts Emergency Service, a charity which aims to support students from underprivileged backgrounds who wish to study arts degrees.

*Must have alpacas sheared annually, as we do not want animals with heat stress in summer!
If that sounds good to you, then we may be your place! We are Mile-High elevation in Prescott Valley, Arizona and enjoy 4 seasons, and cool temps with warm days just like the alpacas native home on the Altiplano. We have some snow in winter. We have mud at times. We have dry dirt the rest of the time. That's great for easy care and lack of parasite issues with the animals. That's not great for grazing. We feed Colorado grown Orchard grass hay. We add in pellets and alfalfa where needed.
Along with the best free-choice mineral blend (Stillwater 104) in each pen, we will add alfalfa as needed and alpaca pellets (Nutrena Alpaca and Calf Manna sometimes) as needed for extra nutrition for growth, gestation and lactation. We fully understand a fat alpaca is not a good or healthy thing - and we strive to keep body conditions of 4-6 on a 10 scale. We eyeball every single alpaca daily and know our herd very well. Just ask for references! We will do anything necessary for any alpaca here. We attend continuing medical education annually and Wendy is certainly known for a vast base of knowledge when it comes to alpacas. We don't fuss 'too much', or employ old wives tales. Medicine needs to make sense... and we certainly know when to call on the awesome team of large animal Veterinarians at Prescott Animal Hospital - Equine Center. We have an awesome Vet relationship and resource very close by.

Sydney Celebrates LGBTQ Pride With Permanent Rainbow Crosswalk
Sydney, Australia is gearing up for the their annual Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras with Lord Clover Moore by unveiling a permanent rainbow crossing at Oxford Street's iconic Taylor Square.
"The new rainbow crossing is a hugely symbolic statement of support for the LGBTQ community after a tumultuous time with the marriage equality plebiscite. This beautiful gesture brings a smile to everyone who walks across it," said the founder of community organization DIY Rainbow, James Brechney.
RELATED: How South Africa Became An Unlikely World Leader For LGBTQ Rights
The symbol of the rainbow flag, first designed in 1978 by San Francisco gay rights activist and artist Gilbert Baker, holds an important meaning for the freedom and equality of all LGBTQ people around the world. Baker created the flag for the Gay Freedom Pride Parade that year at the request of Harvey Milk.
The design of the flag has changed over the years. Originally, the flag contained 8 colors and now, for practicality reasons, has only 6. Each color also holds an important meaning to the gay rights social movement.
Pink — Sex
Red — Life
Orange — Healing
Yellow — Sunlight
Green — Nature
Turquoise — Magic
Blue — Peace
Violet — Spirit

"San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker's rainbow flag has been a symbol of those first bloody struggles of the gay rights movement. The 78ers in Australia put up with brutal treatment during the first Sydney Mardi Gras, and the rainbow flag has come to represent the LGBTIQ community's struggles for liberation, survival and equality," said Lord Clover Moore in a statement to SBS News.
The Sydney rainbow crossing shape also makes it extremely unique and the only arch-shaped rainbow crossing in the world.

'How I Met Your Father' Creators Confirm Series Takes Place in the Same Universe As 'How I Met Your Mother'
By HollDogg January 14, 2022 No Comments2 Mins Read
You've heard of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but what about the How I Met Your Mother cinematic universe?! During Tuesday's Television Critics Association winter press tour, How I Met Your Father creator Isaac Aptaker confirmed that the upcoming Hulu series takes place within the HIMYM universe.
"People keep referring to the show as a 'reboot,' and it's not a reboot," Aptaker said of the new comedy (per TVLine) . "It's set in the world of the previous show, but it's really its own thing."
However, he clarified that "we love How I Met Your Mother," noting that original series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, as well as original director Pamela Fryman have been "very involved" in the creation of HIMYF. "There are going to be lots of little rewards for people who love the original if they stick with us," Aptaker added.
How I Met Your Father is structured around the main character, Sophie (played by Hilary Duff in the present and Kim Cattrall in the future) telling her son how she met his father, much like Ted Mosby did in the original series. Her story largely takes place in 2022 New York City, where she and her friend group — Charlie (Tom Ainsley), Ellen (Tien Tran), Jesse (Chris Lowell), Sid (Suraj Sharma), and Valentina (Francia Raisa) — work on figuring out their love lives and personal identities in the age of dating apps.
"I think it's important to know that we are our own show," Duff said during the TCA press tour (per Deadline). "The original show was so amazing, [but we're] trying to create something original, [while] stealing a few things from them that worked really well."
How I Met Your Father premieres Jan. 18 on Hulu.

I have been in love with the spicy Manchurian balls ever since I tasted them for the first time. I relish Manchurian with plain rice.
This time I decided to give a healthy twist to my favorite manchurian balls by substituting maida with oats and frying these in paniyaram pan.
I rarely deep fry anything.
The result did not disappoint - at least I am happy I have a healthier Manchurian recipe now.
Mix all ingredients and make small balls.
Put balls in each of the wells.
Keep checking at regular intervals - after 3-4 minutes.
Change sides of the balls.


Christopher Nolan's The Prestige, based on Christopher Preist's novel about dueling Victorian-era magicians, is rich with feints and moments of canny misdirection, packed into a Byzantine back-and-forward-in-time structure that can't help but invite comparisons to his breakout film Memento. Sure, it piles on perhaps one too many bits of narrative sleight-of-hand, but that's okay. As with a real magic trick, it's not the figuring out of the logistical details that matter most (audiences don't really want to know how the trick is done, as one character points out); what's important is that we're taken in by the illusion.
At least, that's what's most important to Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) as The Prestige opens; he's an apprentice to a veteran illusionist, and he's married to a comely magician's assistant (Piper Perabo, showing off a great pair of legs). Life's pretty good for Angier; certainly, he's not as intense as his fellow apprentice, Alfred Borden (Christian Bale), who's obsessed with bettering his craft, disdainful of playing it safe. When one of Borden's impulses results in a tragic and fatal accident, Angier also becomes obsessed -- with revenge.
As he watches Borden (now billed as "The Professor") enjoy the kind of family life he himself is denied, Angier (who takes the name "The Great Danton") becomes increasingly consumed with outshining his former colleague, besting him by any means necessary. Thus begins a bitter rivalry and a dangerous game of one-upmanship involving mutilation, sabotage, kidnapping and attempted murder. That game, which inflicts permanent wounds on both men, soon revolves around a trick called "The Transported Man," which cements Borden's reputation and eventually sends Angier to America to seek help from inventor Nikola Tesla (David Bowie, in a perhaps too-understated turn).
Tesla's introduction eventually nudges The Prestige into science-fiction territory, but it's a testament to the film's tautly compelling rivalry that the film doesn't go wildly off the rails at this point. Nolan keeps the competition front and center, aided by an adept cast. Bale isn't given a role as meaty as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, or even Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins, but he makes Borden's tightly wound intensity riveting to watch. Jackman isn't as immediately grabbing a screen presence as Bale, a fact he uses to his advantage: He never relinquishes hold of Angier's humanity, exhibiting a guarded sense of wounded sensitivity that helps us to buy, if not excuse, his ever more fanatical actions.
They're not the only actors doing solid turns: Michael Caine instinctively knows not to overplay his role as the engineer of Angier's illusions, turning in a riff on the supportive-uncle/mentor role he played to Bale in the aforementioned Batman Begins. Scarlett Johansson, meanwhile, does credible work as an assistant and love interest, but her luminous presence is underused. It's probably just as well: When she's onscreen, it's hard to concentrate on, or care much about, anything else.
The "prestige" of the title refers to the final, capping moment in a magic trick -- you know, when the magician's comely assistant proves herself not to have been sawed in half after all, or the magician presents (with a flourish) the bird he just made disappear. There's no such moment in The Prestige -- reality isn't neatly restored at the end. The film does finally reveal its secrets, most of which flutter just beyond the edge of the viewer's consciousness; they're there for the cracking, but Nolan and his cast keep us too distracted to spend time trying to put all the pieces together. How appropriate that a movie about dueling Victorian-era magicians would itself prove to be one elaborate and satisfying trick.

Flowering Plants Dicotyledons
Author : Klaus Kubitzki,Clemens Bayer
This encyclopedia contains a comprehensive treatment of the taxonomy of the families and genera of ferns and seed plants. The present volume, the fifth in this series, deals with three major groups of dicotyledons, the Capparales, Malvales, and Non-betalain Caryophyllales.
Plant and Human Health Volume 2
Author : Munir Ozturk,Khalid Rehman Hakeem
Early anthropological evidence for plant use as medicine is 60,000 years old as reported from the Neanderthal grave in Iraq. The importance of plants as medicine is further supported by archeological evidence from Asia and the Middle East. Today, around 1.4 billion people in South Asia alone have no access to modern health care, and rely instead on traditional medicine to alleviate various symptoms. On a global basis, approximately 50 to 80 thousand plant species are used either natively or as pharmaceutical derivatives for life-threatening conditions that include diabetes, hypertension and cancers. As the demand for plant-based medicine rises, there is an unmet need to investigate the quality, safety and efficacy of these herbals by the "scientific methods". Current research on drug discovery from medicinal plants involves a multifaceted approach combining botanical, phytochemical, analytical, and molecular techniques. For instance, high throughput robotic screens have been developed by industry; it is now possible to carry out 50,000 tests per day in the search for compounds which act on a key enzyme or a subset of receptors. This and other bioassays thus offer hope that one may eventually identify compounds for treating a variety of diseases or conditions. However, drug development from natural products is not without its problems. Frequent challenges encountered include the procurement of raw materials, the selection and implementation of appropriate high-throughput bioassays, and the scaling-up of preparative procedures. Research scientists should therefore arm themselves with the right tools and knowledge in order to harness the vast potentials of plant-based therapeutics. The main objective of Plant and Human Health is to serve as a comprehensive guide for this endeavor. Volume 1 highlights how humans from specific areas or cultures use indigenous plants. Despite technological developments, herbal drugs still occupy a preferential place in a majority of the population in the third world and have slowly taken roots as alternative medicine in the West. The integration of modern science with traditional uses of herbal drugs is important for our understanding of this ethnobotanical relationship. Volume 2 deals with the phytochemical and molecular characterization of herbal medicine. Specifically, It will focus on the secondary metabolic compounds which afford protection against diseases. Lastly, Volume 3 focuses on the physiological mechanisms by which the active ingredients of medicinal plants serve to improve human health. Together this three-volume collection intends to bridge the gap for herbalists, traditional and modern medical practitioners, and students and researchers in botany and horticulture.

Vegetation of the Arabian Peninsula
Author : S.A. Ghazanfar,M. Fisher
The inspiration for this book came from our ten years of journeys and wanderings through the varied landscapes of Arabia, and in particular through those of its hospitable southeastern corner, Oman. We owe a particular debt to Sultan Qaboos University, which during this time has provided us with both a stimulating working environment and a home. Transliteration of Arabic place and other names into English script is a task fraught with difficulties. We have followed 'accepted' spellings wherever these were not contrary to our common sense, and in other cases we have rendered names into Roman English script using phonetic spellings. Our main task in this respect was to ensure conformity between the fIfteen contributing authors. Diacritical signs have mostly been avoided, since their use is neither widely followed nor readily understood. Arabic words which have been commonly taken into the English language, such as 'sabkha' for a salt flat and 'wadi' for a valley with a seasonal watercourse, are not italicised in usage. However, other Arabic terms which are occasionally used in English but not as widely known, such as harrah for a basaltic lava fIeld and hima for a traditional grazing reserve, are italicised throughout the text.
Vegetable Fats and Oils
Author : Sabine Krist
This encyclopedia scientifically describes 121 vegetable oils and fats. In addition to conventional oils, the book also covers lesser-known oils such as Amaranth, Chia, prickly pear, and quinoa. Author pays particular attention to root plants, extraction, and the ingredients included in information nutritionally relevant to fatty acid patterns. Applications in pharmacology, medicine, cosmetics and technology, as well as possible adverse effects, are discussed. The thoroughly researched reference book includes detailed descriptions along with the latest research results and methods.
Roman Foodprints at Berenike
Author : Rene T. J. Cappers
Publisher : ISD LLC
During the Graeco-Roman period, Berenike served as a gateway to the outside world together with Myos Hormos. Commodities were imported from Africa south of the Sahara, Arabia, and India into the Greek and Roman Empire, the importance of both harbors evidenced by several contemporary sources. Between 1994 and 2002, eight excavation seasons were conducted at Berenike by the University of Delaware and Leiden University, the Netherlands. This book presents the results of the archaeobotanical research of the Roman deposits. It is shown that the study of a transit port such as Berenike, located at the southeastern fringe of the Roman Empire, is highly effective in producing new information on the import of all kinds of luxury items. In addition to the huge quantities of black pepper, plant remains of more than 60 cultivated plant species could be evidenced, several of them for the first time in an archaeobotanical context. For each plant species detailed information on its (possible) origin, its use, its preservation qualities, and the Egyptian subfossil record is provided. The interpretation of the cultivated plants, including the possibilities of cultivation in Berenike proper, is supported by ethnoarchaeobotanical research that has been conducted over the years. The reconstruction of the former environment is based on the many wild plant species that were found in Berenike and the study of the present desert vegetation.

Vegetation Ecology of Socotra
Author : Gary Brown,Bruno Mies
Although the unique flora of the Socotra Archipelago with its high degree of endemism has received much attention recently, little information is available on the vegetation and related ecological aspects. Based on their extensive field experience of the region, the authors have assimilated a vast amount of knowledge to produce this book, which gives a detailed insight into the plant ecology of Socotra, designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2008. The book is divided into seven chapters. After a brief introduction and overviews of important abiotic features, various aspects of the vascular flora are presented in Chapter 4, together with accounts of the bryophyte and lichen flora. Ecology and adaptive strategies of the plants are dealt with in Chapter 5, and Chapter 6 gives a concise description of the main vegetation units. Finally, important management issues of the vegetation are discussed, an essential topic to ensure preservation of the natural heritage of the archipelago.

The Poisonous Plants of Bombay
Author : K.R. Kirtikar
Publisher : Scientific Publishers
A renowned worker on Indian medicinal plants, Dr. K.R. Kirtikar of Indian Military Service also worked on poisonous plants and his findings were published in a series of papers I-XX in Journal of Bombay Natural History Society under the title ``The Poisonous Plants of Bombay'' during 1892-1904. The early volumes of the Journal of Bombay Natural History Society are rare and not available in Libraries. Therefore, we have compiled these papers and presented in a book form for easy reference. Colour plates published by Dr. Kirtikar have not been included due to brittleness of the paper and a few being not available, probably damaged due to brittleness. Figures of these plants are available in many botanical books. This compilation is very useful to persons of medical profession, pharmacologists, and botanists working on medicinal and poisonous plants.

Biogeography and Ecology of Southern Africa
Author : Marinus J.A. Werger,A.C. van Bruggen
Southern Africa is certainly not a naturally bounded area so that there are several possibilities for delineating it and concepts about its extent. Wellington* discussed the various possibilities for delineation and suggested that one line stands out more clearly and definitely as a physical boundary than any other, namely the South Equatorial Divide, the watershed between the ZaIre, Cuanza and Rufiji Rivers on the one hand and the Z ambezi, Cunene and Rovuma Rivers on the other. This South Equatorial Divide is indeed a major line of separation for some organisms and is also applicable in a certain geographical sense, though it does not possess the slightest significance for many other groups of organisms, ecosystems or geographical and physical features of Africa. The placing of the northern boundary of southern Africa differs in fact strongly per scientific dis cipline and is also influenced by practical considerations regarding the possibilities of scientific work as subordinate to certain political realities and historically grown traditions. This is illustrated, for example, in such works as the Flora of Southern Africa, where the northern boundary of the area is conceived as the northern and eastern political boundaries of South West Africa, South Africa and Swaziland. Botswana, traditionally included in the area covered by the Flora Zambesiaca, thus forms a large wedge in 'Southern Africa'.

"Great Work Benefits Everybody" — Featuring Rob Bloom, &Barr
August 3, 2017 11:25 am 4A's Member
Beyond the Brief:
&Barr associate creative director Rob Bloom probably knew he was geared for this career path at age eight when he created his own humor magazine. There were many booger jokes, we were told.
&Barr associate creative director Rob Bloom
Bloom joined the Orlando-based shop earlier this year after spending a year building creative teams for Noble Brands. By then, the University of Florida and Creative Circus alum had built up quite the portfolio. The extensive list includes work for Quilted Northern and Brawny, BASF and iShares, the 76ers and Atlanta Falcons, Volvo and Yamaha. But it goes without saying that true learning comes through experience — The Integer Group, JWT Atlanta, Moxie, and 22squared all provided lessons for him outside of creating from briefs.
It's often said (or maybe not at all) that a good copywriter is a creature of chaos, one who thrives off of the opportunity to adapt for any brand, any situation. For Bloom, that involves comedy writing, something he's done for years for satire sites McSweeneys, The Onion (kinda), NPR and others.
Not only funny but accomplished at it, Bloom won a screenwriting competition for the Upright Citizens Brigade, the winning script being turned into a film that played in over 20,000 screens nationwide. And his humor also won the hearts of the Erma Bombeck Foundation, a Phoenix-based charity for kidney transplants named after the celebrated humorist. Laughter's the best medicine, and Bloom provides it for so many.
A warm-hearted funnyman (and former Walt Disney World chipmunk) who keeps peers and friends chuckling headline after headline, Bloom takes living beyond the brief seriously — but not too seriously.
What was your most embarrassing career moment?
I had just taken a new job at an agency and was trying to prove myself. I wrote a couple of radio spots that I thought were pretty funny and was excited to present them to the client. So I'm on the call, acting out the scripts, when I misread a line. I wanted to say "sly dog" but instead said "slutty dog." I lost it. Couldn't stop laughing. The client wasn't amused and the account director was seething.
Craziest thing you've seen happen in a new business pitch?
There's a lot you can't control in a new business pitch. One thing you can control is the work you bring to the table. My team and I were proud of the two big ideas we had to share in this instance. The ideas were fun, creative, and grounded in strategy. I was a few minutes into pitching the first idea when the client interrupts me to announce that he and his team were going to leave the room for 15 minutes so we can regroup and come up with work that doesn't suck.
What keeps you sane in this industry? What keeps you driven to do great work?
What keeps me sane? Unquestionably, my family. They're the three most important people in my world and a constant reminder of what really matters.
As far as being driven, what's the alternative? With what we do, everybody in the agency should be driven to do better work — creative, strategy, account, everybody. Great thinking, great work benefits everybody. I also love the challenge of showing clients they can think about their business in a different way.
What's a virtue that you live by?
I have two. One from my grandfather who lived to be 99 1/2. He always said, "every job is easier with the right tools." I think of that almost day because it's absolutely true and applies to so many situations.
The other comes from my dad, another one of my heroes. He taught me "it never hurts to ask." So many times, people assume the answer to a question will be "no." You'd be surprised how many times the answer turns out to be "yes."
What life advice do you give others?
Step out of your comfort zone. I started stuttering at the age of three and spent close to three decades in speech therapy. If someone had told me that, one day, I'd be pitching big ideas to Bon Jovi or giving a keynote to 300 people at a marketing conference, I wouldn't have believed it. Turns out that I love public speaking. But that's something I wouldn't have discovered if I hadn't challenged myself to step out of my comfort zone.
Where is your happy place/space?
The turkey leg cart in the Magic Kingdom.
To celebrate its 100th Anniversary, the 4A's has partnered with The Drum to pull back the curtain and look at an industry full of problem solvers, creative types and analytical minds. But what keeps them going once the briefs are written, the campaigns executed, and the pitches won (or lost)? We're interviewing 100 people at 4A's member agencies — across all disciplines, levels, regions, and agency types — to get a glimpse into what drives them at work and what fuels them in life.
