Optical disc packaging is the packaging that accompanies CDs, DVDs, and other formats of optical discs. Most packaging is rigid or semi-rigid and designed to protect the media from scratches and other types of exposure damage.

Jewel case

A jewel CD case is a compact disc case that has been used since the compact disc was first released in 1982. It is a three-piece plastic case, measuring , a volume of , which usually contains a compact disc along with the liner notes and a back card. Two opposing transparent halves are hinged together to form the casing, the back half holding a media tray that grips the disc by its hole. All three parts are made of injection-moulded polystyrene.

The front lid contains two, four, or six tabs to keep any liner notes in place. The liner notes typically will be a  booklet, or a single  leaf folded in half. In addition, there is usually a back card, , underneath the media tray and visible through the clear back, often listing the track names, studio, copyright data and other information. The back card is folded into a flattened "U" shape, with the sides being visible along the ends (often referred to as the spine) of the case. The ends usually have the name of the release and the artist, and often label or catalogue information printed on them, and are designed to be visible when the case is stored vertically, 'book-style', on shelves.

The rear media tray snaps into the back cover and is responsible for securing the CD. This is achieved by a central circular hub of spring-loaded teeth that grip and effectively suspend the disc above the tray surface, preventing the recording surface from being scratched.

The jewel case is the standard case used by the majority of manufacturers and it is the most common type of case found in record and movie stores. Jewel cases are occasionally used for DVDs, but generally not for those that contain major film releases. Blank Blu-ray Disc media is also most commonly sold in standard-width jewel cases.

Origin
According to Philips, the name "jewel case" reflects either the generally high quality of the case design compared to initial attempts, or its appearance.  According to one publication, initial attempts at packaging CDs were unsatisfactory.  When the new design, by Peter Doodson, was found to be "virtually perfect" it was dubbed the "jewel case". Another publication quotes Doodson describing that he "specified polished ribs as they pick up the light and shine" and states that the resulting appearance led to the name.

Strengths
Endurance: The CD jewel case has a tight and firm grip of the CD because of the tray's "teeth" or "lock". Because of this, even if the CD jewel case is turned upside-down, left, or right, the CD is held in place. Flimsier cases may cause the CD to become loose, or even fall out. Also, since the jewel case is made of plastic, it is sturdier compared to cardboard, paper, or foams. When pressure is applied to the CD jewel case, the case will break first before the CD. If the case is made of thin cardboard, there is a greater chance that the CD would break or get damaged because the weight is directed onto it.

Storage: The type of material of the CD jewel case allows storage of CDs for decades without ruining the CDs. The same is not as true with other cases, since paper can stick to the CDs due to air, humidity, and other factors. The CD jewel case may also be preferred because it offers orderliness on a shelf. Since the CD jewel case has existed for decades, there are many CD shelves, racks, and other products in the market that are made for CD jewel cases.

Room for accessories: The CD jewel case is designed to carry a booklet, as well as to have panel inserts. These may be used to display album artwork, lyrics, photos, thank-yous, messages, biography, etc.

Cost-effectiveness: Because the CD jewel case is the standard, most-commonly used CD case, it is much cheaper. The price of the CD jewel case usually ranges from $0.75 to $0.95. That is a few cents cheaper than digipaks and other CD wallets.  However, if large quantities of cases are needed, the price difference may be hundreds or thousands of US dollars.

Weaknesses
There are a number of shortcomings with the jewel case. The case is hinged on two brittle plastic arms, which often break if the case receives shock or stress due to being dropped. The teeth of the hub holding the disc are also prone to failure by snapping. There is a problem with the tabs ("half-moons") which hold the liner notes in place; sometimes, especially with larger booklets, the tabs grip the booklet too tightly, leading to tearing. When replacing the booklet, it can get snagged and crumple or rip. As noted above, some CD releases have only two tabs, which allows the booklet to be more easily removed and replaced (with the disadvantage of the booklet sometimes falling out if held the wrong way). Replacement jewel cases can be purchased, to replace those that have broken plastic arms or hub teeth.

Variations

Double disc albums can either be packaged in standard-thickness jewel cases with hinged media trays which can be lifted to reveal the second disc (trays hinged on the left are known as "Smart Tray" format; those hinged on the right are known as "Brilliant Box" format) or in a chubby jewel case, sometimes called a multi-CD jewel case, which is slightly thicker than two normal jewel cases stacked on top of each other and can hold from 2 and up to 6 CDs. Chubby jewel cases do not fit in some CD racks, however, some racks have a few extra wide slots specifically to accommodate them.

Jewel cases for CDs released early in the format's life featured frosted top and bottom spines as opposed to the ridged ones more commonly used. As a result of their rarity, these types of jewel cases are fairly coveted among collectors.

"Super Jewel Box" is a more advanced design which offers amongst other improvements a greatly strengthened hinge area. The depth of the disc tray is also greater, allowing for two discs to be placed on top of each other. The super jewel box cannot be used as a direct replacement for the older jewel case design as its card insert for the back is slightly different in size and shape. The super jewel box was developed by Philips and it was intended to be successor to the original jewel case. Some CD manufacturers (for example the high-end company Linn) are supplying them. The super jewel box is the conventional case for Super Audio CD (SACD) releases; a taller "Plus" size, midway between CD and DVD-Video size, is the conventional case for DVD-Audio, and as of mid-2006, the case format for all albums released by the Universal Music Group in Europe.

Many alternatives to the standard jewel case may also be found, including larger DVD-style cases with a more book-like shape. It is not uncommon to find CDs housed in custom cases, tins and boxes of varying shapes and sizes. Slipcases and other envelope-type designs are also occasionally used.

Some DualDiscs are packaged in jewel cases of a somewhat different design from the CD version; the inside edge is rounded instead of flat, and the physical position of the disc is moved slightly toward the spine to make room for a latch mechanism. The overall dimensions of a DualDisc case are roughly the same as a standard CD case. However, the hinge mechanism is smaller and cannot be dismantled as easily as on a standard jewel case.

Smaller jewel cases are used for 8 cm CD and DVD media; similar cases without the hub are used for MiniDisc and (magnetic) Zip disk media.

Additionally, larger jewel cases that were around the size of VHS keep cases were used for North American releases of games for the Sega CD, all North American releases of Sega Saturn games, and games released early in the original PlayStation's life cycle. Because the larger thickness of these cases put the CDs inside at greater risk of being accidentally knocked out of their hubs, large foam bricks were placed on top of the discs when packaged to hold them in place.

Slimline jewel case

Slimline jewel cases first gained popularity as cases for CD singles sold in Japan and Europe, and have become a common space-saving packaging for burned CDs. The cases used for CD singles sold in Japan and Europe are 7 mm thick, with a "J-card" type inlay, showing cover art through the front of the case, and also through both the spine and part of the back of the case. The CD itself is usually inserted "upside-down" in the case, so that the artwork on the disc itself shows through the transparent back of the case.

Most slim jewel cases sold for burned CDs use the measure , which is roughly half the thickness of a standard CD jewel case, allowing twice as many CDs to be stored in the same space, and will generally fit two to a slot in a standard CD rack. They generally do not have room for a full package insert booklet, only a slip of paper for a track listing or cover art, showing only through the front of the case. Unlike the standard jewel cases, slimline cases are made of two pieces rather than three and do not have a place for a back label. However, with this design the "spine" is narrower, making the discs more difficult to identify when stored on edge on a shelf.

External marketing packaging
In the U.S. and Canada, the jewel box of a music CD was originally packaged for retail sale in a large cardboard box called a longbox in order to fit in store fixtures designed for vinyl records, offer larger space for display of artwork and marketing blurbs, and deter shoplifting. This packaging was much-criticized as environmentally wasteful, and was eventually dropped by most retailers in the mid-1990s, though major record companies continued to ship CDs to wholesale clubs, such as Costco and Sam's Club, in longboxes into the 21st century.

Around 1994, the top wrap-around label sticker began to appear on most CDs, to make it easier to read what each CD was from the top without having to flip through them to see the front cover. These stickers were usually nothing more than informational labels and rarely would have any use in the marketing of the album. The wrap-around sticker also provided an extra seal, possibly as another theft deterrent.

A chiefly Japanese packaging addition is the inclusion of an obi strip, a J-card-esque paperboard slip wound around the left side of the case to show details such as the price, artist, etc. The obi strip is particularly useful in the case of Japanese releases of western artists' material, due to the fact that the cover artwork is unaltered from its original-language release.

Paper or Tyvek sleeve

The simplest, least expensive package is a paper envelope. More expensive versions add a transparent window to the envelope allowing the disc label to be seen. The envelope can also be made out of spunbonded polyethylene (trade-named Tyvek). This is both more durable and less abrasive than paper. However, such packaging is rare for commercial releases due to its relative lack of protection compared with other designs, and is primarily limited to promotional and demo discs.

It is also often used in software packages, where the box is labeled promotionally, but the disc comes in a paper sleeve (to cut costs).

Q Pack
The Q Pack was developed by the Queens Group Inc. in the mid-1990s as an alternative to regular CD jewel cases. (The Queens Group was purchased by Shorewood Packaging, who are part of International Paper). The Q Pack does not have a snap-in tray like a regular jewel case. It is characterized by the corrugated raised area where the top hinges to the back. Since Q Pack cases are not transparent, generally cover art is applied as a decal to the cover. Decals can also be applied to the inside front, on the tray underneath the hub and the back cover. A slot for an insert booklet is found inside the front cover as on typical jewel cases.

Digipak/digipack

A "digipak" or "digipack" (generic term) is a rectangular cardboard package with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a disc attached to the inside. There are variations where the disc(s) sit on a hub or spindle inside and come in various sizes. A digipak-style case is a common alternative to the somewhat brittle jewel case. Although they are less vulnerable to cracking than a jewel case, the disc tray inside the package is still made of the same brittle plastic so is prone to cracking and the teeth of the tray hub breaking if the package is crushed.

Though actual digipak packaging has only ever been made for CDs, the term's popular usage has led to it becoming a generic term. Nowadays, it is commonly applied to similar non-brand packaging, used on all types of optical disc media.

The term "digipak" was once a trademarked name but is no longer active as of March 2020 according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Digisleeve
A digisleeve consists of a rectangular cardboard package which differs from a digipak/digipack in that it doesn't have a tray, spindle or hub and the disc or discs slide into an outside pocket of the packaging. Like digipaks/digipacks and digibooks/mediabooks, they can also come in the size of a DVD case.

Digifile
A digifile consists of a rectangular cardboard package that is similar to a digisleeve except that the disc or discs slide vertically (and in some cases diagonally) into a horizontal or diagonal slot inside the packaging.

Wallet
A wallet consists of a rectangular cardboard package that is similar to a digisleeve except that the disc or discs slide horizontally into a vertical slot inside the packaging.

Digibook/mediabook
A digibook/mediabook is a type of packaging that has a hard cover (like a hardbound book) and comes in various sizes. The disc can either slide into the package or sit on a spindle, hub or tray inside.

Artbook/earbook
An artbook/earbook is a type of packaging that has a hard cover (like a hardbound book) and is normally around 11 1/4" to 11 1/2" square and contains a several-page booklet inside. Basically, it is an oversized deluxe digibook/mediabook.

Mini LP sleeve/paper sleeve
A mini LP sleeve/paper sleeve is a square cardboard package that looks like a miniaturized version of an LP jacket. The disc usually slides into an inner sleeve whose opening need not match the outer sleeve in the manner of actual LPs. Mini LP sleeves can either appear as single sleeves or gatefolds, identically to full-sized LP jackets, with both variants being used for a number of music releases.

While used in a somewhat limited capacity in the west, where the jewel case remains the most popular form of CD packaging, mini LP sleeves are common for reissues of older albums in Japan, with their typically high level of faithfulness to the original vinyl record packaging making them sought-after among collectors.

The downside to this format is that the disc can be easily scratched each time it is taken out for play; a more serious issue can also be that if the glue that keeps the sleeve that holds the CD closed on the side closest to the spine (on gatefold covers) weakens, it can get onto the CD, rendering it unplayable. For these reasons, mini LP releases— particularly Japanese ones— enclose the CD in a protective sleeve made from matted plastic or rice paper. Another disadvantage with mini LP sleeves is that, like digipaks, they are significantly more vulnerable to wear and other forms of damage compared to standard jewel cases and are more difficult to replace.

One advantage of mini LP sleeves is that album covers that were originally textured, such as Back in Black by AC/DC or Fear of Music by Talking Heads, can retain the texturing on the CD release, as well as being able to replicate other nuances of the vinyl packaging such as unusually shaped packaging or artwork intended to span the whole of a gatefold (e.g. Obscured by Clouds and The Dark Side of the Moon, respectively, by Pink Floyd). In addition, the packaging is more environmentally friendly due to the use of more easily recyclable and biodegradable cardboard (as opposed to the polystyrene used in jewel cases) and is significantly cheaper to produce than both jewel cases and digipaks, which has made them a more favorable option in  markets where CD sales are declining.

Minipack
A minipack is a square cardboard package in which the disc sits on a spindle, hub or tray. In essence, it's a combination of a digipak/digipack and mini LP sleeve. This type of packaging is usually hand-made and is not seen very often.

JakeBox
JakeBox is a paperboard packaging concept designed in Sweden, featuring a pop-up "claw". The claw releases the CD when the cover is opened and locks it again when the cover is closed. This design makes the disc easily accessible and protects the CD once the case is closed.

Discbox slider

The discbox slider (also called DBS) is a disc packaging concept in 100% carton board, found both in CD and DVD sized packaging formats. The DBS is comparable with plastic jewel or amaray cases when it comes to size but holds more of the features of the LP style cases in terms of light weight and printability. The DBS case opens up from the side by moving the slider part (on which the disc is resting) from the sleeve. The discbox slider is 100% recyclable. Many covermount CDs released in British magazine Mixmag used to be packaged in a discbox slider, after replacing a standard jewel box, although the discbox slider itself was replaced by a simple cardboard sleeve.

Compac Plus
The Compac Plus is a disc packaging which is similar in style to a digipak. However, it consists of two plastic CD trays which "clip" together like a normal slipcase. The packaging was introduced in the early 1990s. It was originally a brand which had their own logo, and was used by bands such as Blur, but as years progressed, many other artists started to use their own version of the packaging. The packaging is also known as Compact Plus.

Keep case

A keep case is the most common type of DVD packaging and was created by Amaray. It is taller and thicker than a Jewel case, and is made of much softer, less brittle plastic (polypropylene rather than polystyrene), so it does not break as easily. They usually hold one or two discs, but are capable of holding up to six discs. Slimmer keep cases, so called "Slim-paks" or "Thinpaks" typically used for DVD box sets consisting of the thin keep cases stored in a paperboard box. The thin cases are half as thick and can generally only hold one disc as a result, but there are newer slim cases that have central disc holding teeth on both sides.  The teeth are made in such a way that when the case is closed, they go between the gaps in between the teeth on the other side.

A standard DVD case is a single-piece plastic case with two creases, which folds around and snaps closed. It measures 135 mm × 190 mm × 14 mm (5.3 in × 7.48 in × 0.55 in). It is wrapped on the outside by a thin piece of transparent plastic which can hold a paper label. The label measures 284 mm × 184 mm (10.8 in × 7.25 in).

Some DVD releases have a paperboard outer sleeve around the shrinkwrap.

Beginning in 2007, prerecorded Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD titles ship in packages similar to but slightly smaller (18.5 mm shorter and 1 mm thinner: 135 mm × 171.5 mm × 13 mm.) than a standard DVD keep case, generally with the format logo prominently displayed in a horizontal stripe across the top of the case (red for HD DVD; and PlayStation 3 Greatest Hits Games, blue for Blu-ray, and clear for regular PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Switch cartridge games). Green cases of this variety were introduced to be used for titles released for the Xbox One gaming system, though with the space intended for placing the disc being on the left side of the inner case, while most other keep cases have it on the right.

Snap case

A snap case is a design for both CD and DVD packaging, and is made in the standard sizes for both. Each is made of a single-piece plastic tray and closure, which snaps over the right edge of the front flap. The printed flap is made of thin paperboard which wraps around the left edge and across the back of the tray, to which it is glued. It has largely been replaced with the DVD keep case and CD jewel case due to its flimsy design. Time Warner's two studios and their boutique labels (Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema) were the only entities to utilize this case design.

Soft case/green case
Soft cases, also known as earth cases or green cases, are soft-shell cases made from recycled optical discs. They are considerably more pliable than other style cases given that they are made from various mixes of plastics. They are sold by various companies as replacements for disc owners who are environmentally friendly and can be differentiated from other cases by their opaque appearance. The softness of the cases leads them to break less, though the safety of the enclosed disc may be somewhat sacrificed since the case can be bent end-to-end easily.

SteelBook
SteelBook is a trademarked name for a disc case constructed from durable metal to create a tin box-style package similar in size and shape to the keep case. It is used in memorabilia sets such as Collector's Editions, and commonly printed with full-color artwork, varnished, and embossed to provide additional visual dimensionality.

Eco pack
In 2006, Universal Music introduced the first completely paper-recyclable CD case, called the "eco pack". The sleeve is printed on recycled card, and the tray is made from International Paper's PaperFoam. Universal used this packaging for issues in its 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection series after 2006.

Lift-lock case

Many gold CDs, including those from Mobile Fidelity, are packaged in lift-lock cases, a special type of case where the CD is lifted out of the case automatically and a latch unlocked when opened. The advantage of this design is that only the edges of the disc are handled when removing it from the case, and the disc is never subjected to any bending force while being removed. From the outside, they appear almost identical to a standard jewel case. They have the same dimensions as a standard jewel case, and use standard booklets and back cards.

Spindles and other bulk packaging

Blank CD and DVD media are often sold in bulk packages called spindles or, less formally, cake boxes. This type of packaging consists of a round, clear plastic cup that mates bayonet-style to a base with a central post that holds a stack of discs (both made from polypropylene); dummy discs made of clear polycarbonate with no recording surface are often packed on the ends of the stack to avoid scratches from contact with the hard plastic of the packages. Such packages have been designed to hold anywhere from ten up to 100 discs, and offer the user multiple options for packaging the finalized disc.

TDK and Memorex have begun selling some of their blank media in what they refer to as "Snap n' Save" cases, essentially polyethylene cases designed to hold up to ten discs in a package.

Finally, some bulk packages of blank media forgo a permanent container completely, instead using a simple blister pack for small numbers of media, or bundling large numbers of discs in shrink wrap to reduce waste.

Multi-disc albums
Record stores and consumer electronics stores sell albums or books that contain numerous soft plastic sleeves, which can be used to store CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, video game discs, and other discs. Some of the small books or albums can hold 12 discs. Some of the large albums or books can hold over 90 discs. The owner can either keep the original packaging (cases, booklets, etc.) or discard them.

Does Wing Chun have High Kicks?
At present, my personal view is – When the opportunity presents itself, I will certainly do high kicks to attack the head or upper torso. Besides what Sisuk demonstrated in the article, followings are some examples of what I consider as opportune time to do high kicks. When my opponent is not doing a good job to protect his head or rib cage and drops his hands constantly. Or, when he does a lot of bobbing and weaving. Or, he tries to do a takedown on me with his head exposed. Lastly, my opponent has a tendency of slowly bringing his punch back to guard his rib cage, then I might throw a timely kick to that vulnerable target. The rules or the conceptions are there for a reason. Kicks to the lower part of the body is more efficient and safe to do. However, when the opportunity is right, we can break the rule. From the tactical point of view, if my opponent thinks Wing Chun has no high kicks, then the success rate of my high kicks would go way up.
I am not here to persuade anybody. If someone still believes Wing Chun practitioners should not do high kicks. I can respect that. However, unless we learn Wing Chun is to fight with another Wing Chun man or woman, we should all learn how to defend high kicks. Many martial arts have destructive high kicks that could easily knock someone out cold. To me, more importantly, we need to learn and practice how to defend high kicks. Above are three examples of how to defend high kicks.
Note 1: High kicks to the chin or jaw have been proven very effective in fights. Followings are two example from UFC fights.
Note 2. Following is a link to the fight scence. The high kick is at 0:08 of the video.

//Kharas elderly fear dying before Covid jab
by Ellen Albertz
Elderly residents of the //Kharas region say they fear for their lives as they have not yet been vaccinated against Covid-19.
Ernst Jacobs (82) of Berseba, about 70 kilometres north-west of Keetmanshoop, feels they are the vulnerable members of the community and should be made a priority in receiving the vaccine.
Berseba constituency is home to about 9 000 people and comprises Tses village, Vaalgras, Gainachas, and Bethanie, among others.
Jacobs said they live with young adults who are constantly exposing themselves to the virus as they go out to socialise. He said this scares them as the youth can bring the virus to them.
"We heard about the vaccine for Covid-19 on the radio in March already. Then we were informed at the local clinic that a mobile team will come on 26 April, but they never came," said Jacobs.
At Tses village, Irene Cloete, a community activist, said the sentiments are the same among the elderly.
Cloete noted that the vaccine arrived on 26 April at the Tses Clinic, however, the elderly were unhappy that the vaccine was only meant for frontline workers and young people.
"They called me as they wanted to be vaccinated. We spoke to the clinic and it was only a misunderstanding and they were getting the vaccine," said Cloete.
Awareness about the vaccination roll-outs is relatively high, says Tses village chairperson Julian Christians. However, he noted there are mixed feelings among the community on vaccination due to misinformation about the side-effects of vaccines.
"Yes, there are regular announcements made and posters put up, but there are no mobile health outreach teams coming to explain these things," said the chairperson. So far, 118 people have been vaccinated at Tses Clinic.
Vaalgras community members say they are waiting. Unlike Tses and Berseba which have permanent clinics, they only get mobile outreach teams.
Johannes Jahrs (40) a deacon in that community, said people are aware of the vaccination but no health teams have visited them yet.
"The elderly and young people are equally anxious to be vaccinated but we just have to wait," said Jahrs.
However, the scenario is different in urban areas.
Karasburg district health extension workers have been visiting schools, businesses and communities to inform people about the virus and the vaccines. They are also visiting nearby settlements such as Ariamsvlei and Vioolsdrift as part of their outreaches.
Roswitha Andreas, a 40-year-old teacher at Lordsville Primary School, said they have taken their jabs as frontline workers.
"We took the Sinopharm vaccine. I waited three days and when I realised I'm fine, I took my daughter to be vaccinated," said Andreas.The official Covid-19 vaccination programme was launched on 16 of April at Keetmanshoop. //Kharas health director Sandra Owoses said the regional office prioritised the district hospitals of Keetmanshoop, Karasberg, Lüderitz and Oranjemund hospitals.
"Our strategy is to first educate the community in all towns and villages whereafter remote and secluded places will be visited by health outreach teams," said Owoses.

About Euroregions, Museums and Sustainability
Read the hole magazine in German
Rosanna Dematté is one of the coordinators of the Euregio Museum Year in Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino and also of one of the four working groups that are preparing a document for the future of the museums of the Euregio based on the UN Agenda 2030. Here she gives an insight into these initiatives.
What characterizes the European region Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino?
Like all other Euroregions, it stands for cross-border cooperation between European regions of at least two EU member states. Within the framework of the initiatives of this Euregio, common stories and ways of life emerge which are specific to the alpine habitat and which relativize the importance of national borders. At the same time they luckily relativize other boundaries such as language or cultural affiliation. For me, who, like many other inhabitants of Europe, live in several countries and languages, working for a European region is the opportunity to experience different identities and their positive effects. One example of this is the advocacy of diversity that I see in the cultural institutions of this supposedly tradition-oriented Euregio.
How do the museums in the Euregio work together?
Since 2010, Euregio Museum Days have been held annually to promote cross-border networking between museums. The idea of a museum year for 2021 comes from this experience. But more will happen in 2021: In 2020, the culture department of the Province of Trentino organized and expanded the Euregio Museum Day as a digital event due to the Corona restrictions. The museum workers had the opportunity to join working groups in order to think about the future of museums in the sense of the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Agenda 2030 via zoom sessions. The four groups, one of which I coordinate, consist of colleagues from all parts of the country, from smaller and larger houses and different different fields of work. We deal with questions such as: How can museums ensure more equal opportunities? How do you contribute to the sustainable prosperity of a community? Wishes for the coming years are formulated from the analysis of existing best practices. The result of this collaboration is a document that will appear in May 2021.
What does the Euregio Museum Year 2021 include?
In 2020 the museums of the Euregio submitted proposals for exhibition projects on the subject of mobility in response to a call for funding.
Many of the over 40 projects extend the term mobility to ideas of cultural transfer, for example through language, objects or customs. Some exhibitions analyze the changing significance of historical transport routes, illuminate the transformation of war infrastructures into facilities for tourism, examine movements that happen freely and uncontrolled, such as the spread of dialects, the reproduction of a specific flora along the railway line or the spread the plague epidemics. Reflecting on how epidemics have been dealt with in the past becomes particularly interesting in times of Covid-19. One of the tasks of the Museum Year 2021 is to consider how our view of things and the concept of mobility per se will be influenced by the pandemic.
What long-term effects do the projects promise?
The museums could understand their role in the discourse on how people should deal with the world and support each other in a sustainable manner. The structure of the UN Agenda 2030 shows us that an efficient action plan for a better future requires an understanding of complexity. Each goal is related to all other goals. Every action has consequences for other areas. For the museums this means a great responsibility but also a great opportunity. They are better suited than many other institutions to collect visions for the future and, above all, to develop them in participatory ways. If they network more closely with other institutions and areas of life, they can contribute to the emergence of a more just, inclusive, peaceful or climate-neutral society.

Embraces. The project is part of the exhibition Ukraine. A different angle on neighbourhood
One of the events accompanying the exhibition Ukraine. A different angle on neighbourhood is the project Embracing Monika Drożyńska (Poland) and Łada Nakoneczna (Ukraine). Both artists met in the spaces of the National Art Museum of Ukraine to work on an installation that reflects the closeness of Poland and Ukraine.
The artistic practices of Drożyńska and Nakoneczna revolve around the observation of social experiences in Ukraine, Poland and Europe captured by the filters of the global economy, nationality, language and body. The Embraces project is a combination of installation and performance - the artists worked separately, after agreeing only on the color and size of the materials, and the theme of their work was the proximity of both countries, the history and present of Poland and Ukraine seen from the perspective of their neighbors, with a reflection on the current possibilities of communication.
The project was presented on September 25 at the National Art Museum of Ukraine in Kiev. The resulting installation will enter the exhibition of the International Cultural Center in Krakow.
The project was implemented thanks to the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Fund.
Monika Drożyńska (born in 1979 in Nowy Sącz) - embroiderer, activist, visual artist. Graduate and PhD student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. He is interested in non-normative techniques, which he researches with the help of hand embroidery on fabric. She collaborated, among others with the Zachęta National Gallery of Art, the Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Vienna, the Center for Fine Arts (BOZAR) in Brussels. Her works are in the collections of the National Museum in Krakow, the MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow, and in the Deutsche Bank Collection and the Doron Sebbag Art Collection. Scholarship holder of the Ministry of Culture and participant of the Visegrad Artist Residency Program; founder of the "School of embroidery for ladies and gentlemen, Golden Hands."
Łada Nakoneczna (born in 1981 in Dniepropawłowsko) - visual artist. Her works, often realized in the form of installations with the use of drawings, photographs and text, pay attention to the principles of cognition and reveal fixed aspects of visual and verbal structures. Co-editor of Prostory.net.ua on art, literature and politics. From 2008, a member of the Chudrada curatorial and activist collective, and from 2005 a member of the R.E.P. She exhibited her works, among others at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, the MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow, the National Museum of Art of Ukraine in Kiev, PinchukArtCentre in Kiev, Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg and Kunsthall Trondheim. He lives and works in Kiev.

If you're serious about taking good care of your skin, then more than likely you've already incorporated exfoliation into a regular skin care routine.
You may also be aware that to get the best results, you need to go beyond the basic fruity face scrub to exfoliate deeply and penetrate pores with anti-aging and skin-renewing ingredients.
And even if you already have a go-to exfoliation method, it's often a good idea to have a range of different exfoliation options in your skincare arsenal.
Without a doubt, in order to take your skin to the next level, you absolutely must use a quality AHA or BHA.
But if you're just starting out, knowing your BHAs from your AHAs and how to use them can be hard to figure out.
Luckily, AHAs and BHAs aren't actually as complicated as they may sound, and choosing the right products for you can actually be quite easy.
First things first, what do all these letters stand for anyway?
Both AHAs and BHAs are types of chemical exfoliants used to gently and effectively remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and leave you with a healthy and smooth complexion.
Many of us will cringe a little at the term "chemical exfoliant," but these aren't scary mystery chemical substances at all. "Chemical" simply refers to the fact that they exfoliate by soaking into your pores and slowly breaking up the "glue" between skin cells. Once some of this glue-like substance is dissolved away, old skin cells and other dirt or debris can be lifted away or fall off.
This is different from the more traditional physical methods we usually associate with exfoliation. Physical exfoliation includes scrubbing cleansers that contain microbeads, sugar, or fragments of natural items like shells or seeds. Even an ordinary washcloth or towel can be an exfoliating tool. Physical exfoliation happens when you rub any abrasive substance against your skin, thereby "rubbing" off old skin cells and any other gunk stuck to the surface of your skin.
Both chemical and physical methods of exfoliation work well to remove the topmost layer of skin and therefore can improve your skin's texture.
But chemical exfoliation usually offers a few benefits that physical exfoliation typically does not.
For example, physical exfoliation can be harsh on your skin. This is especially true if you scrub your skin with a heavy hand, or simply if your skin tends to be sensitive or acne-prone.
Chemical exfoliants can actually be a much gentler approach, as they loosen dead skin slowly. Although the results are not as instantaneous as physical exfoliation, chemical exfoliants may be able to reach deeper into pores, unclogging more stubborn blackheads and pore congestion.
And as we are about to find out, specific chemical exfoliants such as AHAs and BHAs can also benefit your skin in other ways besides exfoliation alone.
What's the Difference Between AHAs and BHAs?
So now that we've straightened out the differences between chemical and physical exfoliation, you may be wondering what exactly is an AHA or BHA, and are they the same thing?
While their names are quite similar, AHAs and BHAs are not the same thing at all. While they both function as exfoliants, they affect the skin in very different ways. So it is important to know what each one does and does not do so you can choose what's right for your skin.
This complicated sounding chemical is actually derived from some pretty ordinary and natural items. In fact, you may have more than a few of them in your kitchen right now!
Alpha hydroxy acids come from plants such as citrus fruits, grapes, apples and tomatoes, and even sugar cane and dairy milk. While they are derived from things you can find in a typical grocery store produce aisle, the alpha hydroxy acids you find in skincare products are specially chosen and formulated to be applied topically.
These acids exfoliate by removing the top layers of skin. They actually remove the some of the "glue" that keeps dead skin cells adhered to skin's surface, revealing the newer cells beneath. It also seems that AHAs may help your skin keep water from escaping, thus maintaining a healthy and strong moisture barrier for a hydrated complexion.
This unique combination of hydrating and exfoliating features make AHAs a miracle ingredient for those who suffer from dry or combination skin. It means that any flaky or scaly patches can be effectively sloughed off, all without further drying out or roughing up the skin.
Perhaps one of the reasons AHAs are highly valued over other exfoliation methods is that it provides anti-aging effects that go beyond simply polishing away old skin. If your skincare concerns go further than just routine exfoliation, alpha hydroxy acid also has the ability to work deeper, staving off more stubborn signs of aging.
In fact, AHAs have been shown to thicken the underlying layers of skin that we can't see. This plumping below the surface equates to a firmer complexion, and over time could potentially reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
It has also been shown to promote an even skin tone by reducing acne scars and sun damage. And it seems that AHAs contribute to the production of collagen and elastin. These elements are vital for keeping skin from sagging and discoloring with time.
All in all, AHAs produce younger looking skin by addressing a variety of factors that can prevent your skin from looking its best.
While beta hydroxy acids have some similarities to alpha hydroxy acids, they differ in important ways. The beta hydroxy acid used in skin care is often referred to as salicylic acid. On top of its excellent exfoliating ability, this salicylic acid has a long list of uses in caring for skin conditions and concerns.
Salicylic acid is naturally sourced from the bark of the willow tree. It is interesting to note that the willow tree is also where aspirin was originally derived, and both salicylic acid and aspirin share some of the same medicinal benefits. These include having both anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties.
While salicylic acid not only promotes exfoliation by speeding up the shedding of skin cells, it also reduces inflammation and bacteria. For this reason and more, it is commonly recommended for treating acne in all its forms, from tough blackheads and whiteheads to painful and swollen breakouts.
You will also find that BHA or salicylic acid is usually preferred to AHAs for oily skin. This is because unlike AHAs, BHAs are oil soluble and therefore able to get past an oily surface in order to reduce shine. This feature also means that it can effectively break down any built up sebum to clear clogged pores.
Another wonderful feature of BHAs is that compared to many alternative acne treatments, BHAs will not usually cause redness and irritation. On the contrary, they can actually reduce any redness already present in your skin and improve skin tone.
Typically, you will want to consider your skin type first if you are deciding between an AHA and BHA.
…your skin is very dry or has a lot of age spots or sun damage.
AHAs come in a number of different varieties, and each is suited to different skin needs. Here are a few of the more common forms of AHAs and what they are best for.
Look for lactic acid if your skin is especially sensitive. This milk-derived acid is absorbed very slowly by the skin, helping to prevent any potential irritation.
Glycolic acid is definitely the most popular of the AHAs. This is because its tiny molecular structure can work deeper and faster than the other acids, providing the most dramatic results. The downside of this is, however, that it is more likely to cause irritation.
For a compromise between the power of glycolic acid and the gentleness of lactic acid, try malic acid. This potent acid offers antioxidants and the ability to restore damaged skin but is less irritating than glycolic acid.
An option for those with oily skin that want to use an AHA is mandelic acid. This is an anti-inflammatory acid that can help slow down oil production in the pores.
…your skin is oily or prone to breakouts.
Those with excess oil production will probably be happier with a BHA rather than an AHA exfoliant. Remember that AHAs cannot break down oil, therefore they are not ideal for combatting acne and other oily skin issues.
Additionally, BHAs are often considered a "safe" option for any skin type. Some people may find that their skin has trouble tolerating an AHA, and even the more gentle options like lactic acid are too much for them. BHAs are less likely to cause inflammation or redness than AHAs.
When looking for a BHA, you will usually find this ingredient labeled as salicylic acid or simply beta hydroxy acid. BHAs don't have a variety of forms like AHAs.
While you don't need to use both an AHA and a BHA, there are some definite benefits to carefully incorporating both into your skincare routine, no matter your age or skin type.
In fact, since these acids offer different benefits, some sources recommend using both to get the full anti-aging effects. It has been shown that alternating an AHA and BHA can improve skin more than using one alone. This combination approach boosts collagen and cell turnover for incredible results.
However, you will want to be strategic when using the two acids together. You shouldn't apply an AHA and a BHA at the same time, or even one right after the other.
This is because both are exfoliating agents, and using them at the same time or too close together can over-exfoliate your skin, causing irritation and dryness.
Since you don't want to layer them one on top of the other and over-power your delicate facial skin, here are some recommendations for using AHAs and BHAs together, the right way.
Introduce one product to your skin at a time. Start with only applying once every one or two days at first to make sure your skin isn't sensitive to a new ingredient. Some reactions can happen after several applications, so wait at least a week.
Alternate using a BHA or an AHA on different days.
How often you exfoliate depends on your skin's condition and how much exfoliation it can handle. You may have to experiment a bit.
Choose products with a low percentage of acid to start out. Even 1-2% is effective for most skin types. When your skin is first adjusting to acids, it will probably need some time to acclimate. Higher concentrations may cause irritation and redness.
Look for formulations that match your skincare needs. BHAs and AHAs often come in leave on lotions that are good for dry or normal skin types. If you have oily skin, a liquid or gel may be more appropriate.
If your skin starts to become too dry, try to reduce how many days a week you exfoliate. While some people do fine to apply exfoliants every day, more sensitive skin may find once or twice a week enough.
If your skin becomes very inflamed, or if you are just not sure what's right for your particular condition, it's always a good idea to check with a dermatologist.
Finally, no matter if you are using an AHA, a BHA, or some combination of the two, it is essential to take sun protection seriously. Both types of acids make your skin more vulnerable to sunburn and sun damage.
While it's always important to protect your skin from the sun, it's doubly as important to wear sunscreen while using these products. The last thing you want is to undo all the work of your AHAs and BHAs by creating new sunspots and wrinkles!

Mid-Century Modern Leaves Its Mark
February 4, 2013 leoadambiga Leave a comment Go to comments
Architecture is not something I usually write about or think about, not because of disinterest, indeed the few times I've read or watched interviews with architects I've found their discourse fascinating if a little over my head and outside my comfort zone. If I've learned nothing else in my game it's that when a subject or assignment presents itself that makes me a bit anxious then that is precisely a subject or assignment that I need to pursue. Such was the case with the following story I did for the Omaha Home section of Omaha Magazine on Mid-Century design and its expression in Omaha architecture of that style. It was edifying to interview architects who applied the principles of that movement in their work. I hope the story's edifying to you.
©by Leo Adam Biga, ©photos by Bill Sitzmann and Kristine Gerber
Originally appeared in Omaha Magazine's Omaha Home section
In post-World War II America a contemporary design style borne of the modernist movement and emphasizing a balance of form and function, came to the attention of visionary Omaha developers and architects. The resulting homes and buildings completed in that style made for some distinctive neighborhoods that endure as models of aesthetics and utility and that continue to fascinate owners and onlookers alike.
What became known as Mid-Century Modern is seeing a resurgence in interest today among preservationists and restorers, thanks in part to television shows like Mad Men and their celebration of vintage culture. That interest was never more evident than during a October 7 Mid-Century Modern tour sponsored by Restore Omaha and Omaha 2020 that drew a record 850 participants.
Restore Omaha president Kristine Gerber says it was the organization's first tour to focus on an architectural style and the Indian Hills neighborhood offered "the best collection" of Mid-Century Modern. A 2010 Omaha Historic Building Survey of Mid-Century Modern neighborhoods by Leo A. Daly architects Christina Jansen and Jennifer Honebrink offered a blueprint or map for the tour.
For tour participants, it meant getting inside homes, for example, they may have long admired from afar or been curious about to see for themselves the various ways in which these structures bring-the-outdoors-in.
The Swanson Branch Library designed by Leo A. Daly architects in the Brutalist architectural style, which was popular from the 1950s to 1970s.
Leo A. Daly company headquarters is a shining model of modernist-inspired architecture.
Mid-Century Modern homeowners like Mark Manhart and Bonnie Gill love their residences. "We both feel we have lived here forever and plan no move now or later," says Manhart.
Gerber says there's growing appreciation for the style's ahead-of-its-time characteristics of flat roofs, open floor plans, floor-to-ceiling windows, ample natural light and green design-construction elements.
There's motivation, too, in obtaining National Register of Historic Places status for select Mid-Century Modern structures and neighborhoods that qualify.
Mid-Century Modern can be found in other metro neighborhoods besides Indian Hills, but some intentional decisions made it the prime site for it to flower here.
Food manufacturer brothers Gilbert and W. Clarke Swanson, along with architect Leo A. Daly, saw potential to develop a modern, upscale suburban neighborhood taking its name from the old Indian Hills Golf Course. Commercial structures, such as Christ the King Church and the Leo A. Daly company headquarters, became shining examples of this modernist-inspired architectural style.
But it was left up to a pair of edgy young architects, Don Polsky and Stanley J. How Sr., to design dozens of residential homes in this new development featuring the attributes, values and principles of Mid-Century Modern. How also designed one of Omaha's most distinctive luxury apartment buildings, the sleek Swanson Towers, in Indian Hills. The building's since been converted to condominiums.
Together, the Swansons, Daly, How and Polksy, transformed the built Omaha.
"They were young tigers and weren't necessarily rooted in doing the same old thing and I think they saw an opportunity to do some things that were really unique and new," says Stan How, president of Stanley J. How Architects, the company his late father founded. He says his father was "a cutting-edge guy."
Stan How, Sr., turned his business over to his son in 1990 but still came into the office every day until his death in December 2011.
Polsky apprenticed with superstar modernist architect Richard Neutra in Los Angeles and borrowed concepts from his mentor and others for the work he did in Omaha. He says Mid-Century Modern's appeal all these years later makes sense because it's forward-thinking approaches and emphasis on clean lines, simplicity and efficient use of space are what many homebuyers look for today.
"We were green before its time, we put in a lot of insulation, we shaded our windows, we oriented things towards light and brought light into the home. We used insulating glass, we planted trees to give us shade, we broke the wind from the north, we worked with the client's budget on the configuration of the sight."
Passive solar features and energy efficient systems were rarities then.
Stan How says his father began practicing architecture for Leo A. Daly right as the modernist movement caught on. "He started his career at a perfect time to absorb all these new things going on. When he went out on his own he had some clients who had the guts, he'd always say, to explore some of these ideas and let him toy around with that." Mike Ford became a key early client.
"Mike was a young guy who wanted to do something really new, so my dad floated out the contemporary style or what we now call Mid-Century Modern and Mike loved it But he also didn't want to be the only one on the street with a house like that, so he bought four lots and said, 'Let's do four spec houses,' and that's what they did."
One of those Stanley How-designed homes, built in 1963, was later purchased by Mark Manhart and Bonnie Gill.
Home buyers like Ford were the exception, however, not the rule, as Mid-Century found relatively few takers.
"We're a pretty conservative group, Omaha. It's not Los Angeles. I thought you'd just show a few things and they'd be beating a path to your door, but it didn't turn out that way," says Polsky. "There's still a limited supply of buyers for this type of architecture but you do what you can, you carry the torch."
Don Polsky at his drafting desk, circa 1979.
Polsky marveled though at the huge turnout to see his homes and those of his old colleague, Stanley How Sr. "It's amazing how many people showed up," he says.
Stan How says designs by his father and Polsky are the antithesis of the overblown, oversized McMansions many homeowners reject today. "I think people are coming back to simplicity." Indeed, Mark Manhart says "the clean lines and classic simplicity" of his home are major attraction points for he and his wife and the many inquirers who call on them.
The only regret How has is that his father wasn't around to see all the love his homes are getting today. "He would have absolutely reveled in it. He would have loved it."
The March 1-2 Restore Omaha Conference will once again offer a strong lineup of expert preservation and restoration presenters, says Gerber, who promises a dynamic host site that gives attendees an insider's glimpse at some landmark.

Well after a few weeks of hiatus I am finally back! Don't worry I've kept my ear to the ground as to new trailer releases and news around the area. I discuss the latest in trailer releases and how those movies will shape their respective entities. Star Wars Celebration Orlando is happening this weekend and I go through my predictions of the celebration and share the news that Carrie Fisher WILL be in Episode 9 (according to her brother). Let's hope and pray for "The Last Jedi' trailer release! And Josh Brolin will play Cable in 'Deadpool 2' and more!

WB released a HUGE final trailer for 'Wonder Woman' and it looks stunning. But, could this movie push the DCEU out of its funk? Fingers crossed, as more news is released concerning the other films slated for the rest of the franchise. Twitch has all of the Power Rangers episodes airing as a promotion for the new 'Power Rangers Movie' coming out in a few weeks. And I'm leaving for 2 weeks…see or hear me soon!

'Logan' and 'Deadpool' have sent a HUGE message to the world, "Rated-R comic book movies CAN be made and CAN be successful!" But now begs the question, "Should all or most of the new comic book movies be Rated-R?" The Nintendo Switch has been unleashed, and some awesome features haven't been introduced yet, while some hidden features tease the future of gaming! And Gilmore Girls are potentially maybe perhaps coming back again! Netflix is in preliminary talks to bring back their hit show after a stellar Q4 report!

Dunwich  is a village and civil parish in Suffolk, England. It is in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB around  north-east of London,  south of Southwold and  north of Leiston, on the North Sea coast.

In the Anglo-Saxon period, Dunwich was the capital of the Kingdom of the East Angles, but the harbour and most of the town have since disappeared due to coastal erosion. At its height it was an international port similar in size to 14th-century London. Its decline began in 1286 when a storm surge hit the East Anglian coast, followed by two great storms in February and December of 1287, until it eventually shrank to the village it is today. Dunwich is possibly connected with the lost Anglo-Saxon placename Dommoc.

The population of the civil parish at the 2001 census was 84, which increased to 183 according to the 2011 Census, though the area used by the Office of National Statistics for 2011 also includes part of the civil parish of Westleton. There is no parish council; instead there is a parish meeting.

History

Since the 15th century, Dunwich has frequently been identified with Dommoc – the original seat of the Anglo-Saxon bishops of the Kingdom of East Anglia established by Sigeberht of East Anglia for Saint Felix in c. 629–31. Dommoc was the seat of the bishops of Dommoc until around 870, when the East Anglian kingdom was taken over by the initially pagan Danes. Years later, antiquarians would even describe Dunwich as being the "former capital of East Anglia". However, many historians now prefer to locate Dommoc at Walton Castle, which was the site of a Saxon shore fort.

The Domesday Book of 1086 describes it as possessing three churches. At that time it had an estimated population of 3,000.

On 1 January 1286, a storm surge reached the east edge of the town and destroyed buildings in it. Before that, most recorded damage to Dunwich was loss of land and damage to the harbour.

This was followed by two further surges the next year, the South England flood of February 1287 and St. Lucia's flood in December. A fierce storm in 1328 also swept away the entire village of Newton, a few miles up the coast. Another large storm in 1347 swept some 400 houses into the sea. The Grote Mandrenke around 16 January 1362 finally destroyed much of the remainder of the town.

Most of the buildings that were present in the 13th century have disappeared, including all eight churches, and Dunwich is now a small coastal village. The remains of a 13th-century Franciscan priory (Greyfriars) and the Leper Hospital of St James can still be seen. A popular local legend says that, at certain tides, church bells can still be heard from beneath the waves.

Characterizing the fate of the town as the loss of "a busy port to ... 14th century storms that swept whole parishes into the sea" is inaccurate. It appears that the port developed as a sheltered harbour where the Dunwich River entered the North Sea. Coastal processes including storms caused the river to shift its exit  north to Walberswick, at the River Blyth. The town of Dunwich lost its raison d'etre and was largely abandoned. Sea defences were not maintained and coastal erosion progressively invaded the town.

As a legacy of its previous significance, the parliamentary constituency of Dunwich retained the right to send two members to Parliament until the Reform Act 1832 and was one of Britain's most notorious rotten boroughs.

By the mid-19th century, the population had dwindled to 237 inhabitants and Dunwich was described as a "decayed and disfranchised borough". A new church, St James, was built in 1832 after the abandonment of the last of the old churches, All Saints', which had been without a rector since 1755. All Saints' Church fell into the sea between 1904 and 1919, the last major portion of the tower succumbing on 12 November 1919. In 2005 historian Stuart Bacon stated that recent low tides had shown that shipbuilding had previously occurred in the town.

Marine archaeology

The Dunwich 2008 project funded by English Heritage and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation was intended to collate all reliable historic mapped data on the same co-ordinate system and combine this with aerial photography and an underwater survey. New digital maps were produced by Prof. David Sear of Southampton University, marine archaeologist Stuart Bacon and the Geodata Institute. The survey also used multibeam and sidescan sonar to map the seafloor across the entire area of the town. These surveys identified a series of ruins that were confirmed by divers who recovered stones with lime mortar still attached. The lime mortar matched nearly perfectly with medieval mortar in existing churches on the coast. In 2009 Wessex Archaeology working with Professor Sear, captured the highest resolution sidescan images of the town site including the ruins found in 2008. Further work in 2010 with BBC Oceans and the BBC One Show used novel acoustic imaging cameras (dual-frequency identification sonar – DIDSON) to film the ruins through the turbid water. These clearly showed the jumble of ruined blocks and worked stone associated with medieval church and chapel sites. A large survey and updating of the mapped data was commissioned by English Heritage in 2011 and reported in 2012. This compiled all previous survey data and enhanced the historical map and coastal pilot charts for the site. The results have produced the most comprehensive survey of the Dunwich town site – the largest medieval underwater site in Europe.  Data from these surveys including maps and images explaining the different technologies are displayed in Dunwich Museum which is accredited by the Museum Archives Libraries Council. Details of Dunwich's 800-year battle to protect against coastal erosion are also displayed in the museum and it is hoped more work will be done in future. A database of references to Dunwich "designed to aid academic researchers, family historians and students" is available online.

In June 2011, at the invitation of Prof David Sear and the Dunwich Town Trust the Anglo-Saxon and medieval archaeology of Dunwich was the subject of an episode of archaeological television programme Time Team.

Further work to explore new sites using DIDSON and diver surveys and a campaign of land-based archaeology is scheduled for 2013–15 funded by the "Touching the Tide" Heritage Lottery Fund Landscape Partnership Scheme. This work hopes to confirm the date of the town ditches and roads and explore the record of environmental change in the marsh sediments. Altogether this work has identified the ruins of St Peter's and St Nicholas's churches, a chapel most probably St Katherine's, and ruins associated with Blackfriars friary and the town hall. The location of the Knight's Templar Church and All Saints' Church are known from the digital mapping but remain buried beneath an inner sandbank. The early town is buried under between 1 and  of sand to the east of the ruins found by Bacon and these later surveys. As a result, it was found that Dunwich had been a substantial port in Saxon times.

Churches and other notable structures

Greyfriars: Franciscan priory in the southwest of the city. Being so far west it is one of the few significant parts of ancient Dunwich still visible. It was founded on a site nearer the sea in 1277, moved to its current position in 1290 and survived to the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538. The priory was originally enclosed by a stone wall, much of which remains. The most impressive structures still standing are part of the refectory and the 14th century gateway which would have been the main entrance to the monastic buildings.
St Bartholomew's and St Michael's were both chapels of ease that had been built by the end of the 11th century.
St Leonard's: was a parish church that fell to the sea in the 14th century.
St Nicholas's: was a cruciform building to the south of the city. Lost to the sea soon after the Black Death.
St Martin's: built before 1175, it was lost to the sea between 1335 and 1408.
St Francis Chapel: beside the Dunwich River, was lost in the 16th century.
St Katherine's Chapel: in the parish of St John, lost in the 16th century.
Preceptory of the Knights Templar: thought to have been founded around 1189 and was a circular building similar to the famous Temple Church in London. The sheriff of Suffolk and Norfolk reported in his accounts of 1309 that he found the sum of £111, 14 shillings and sixpence farthing (£111-14s-6¼d) contained in four pouches – a vast sum that had been deposited with the Templars for safe keeping by Robert of Seffeld, parson of Brampton. In 1322, on the orders of Edward II implementing the papal bull Ad providam, all the Templars' land passed to the Knights Hospitallers. Following the suppression of the Hospitallers during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII, in 1562 the Temple was demolished. The foundations washed away during the reign of Charles I.
St Peter's: similar in length to the church at nearby Blythburgh. It was stripped of anything of value as the cliff edge drew nearer. The east gable fell in 1688 and the rest of the building followed in 1697. The parish register survives and is now in the British Library.
Blackfriars: Dominican priory in the southeast of the city. It was founded during the time of Henry III by Roger Holish. By 1385 preparations were made for the Dominicans to move to nearby Blythburgh as the sea front drew nearer, although prematurely, as the priory remained active and above sea level until at least the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. The last building fell to the sea in 1717.

All Saints' Church: last of Dunwich's ancient churches to be lost to the sea. It was abandoned in the 1750s after it was decided the parishioners could no longer afford the upkeep, although burials occurred in the churchyard until the 1820s. The cliff edge reached All Saints' in 1904 and the tower (at its west end) fell in 1922. One of the tower buttresses was salvaged and now stands in the current Victorian-era St James' Church. One of the last remaining gravestones, in memory of John Brinkley Easey, fell over the cliff in the early 1990s. A large block of masonry could still be seen at the water's edge at low tide in 1971. In 2022, only one gravestone (in memory of Jacob Forster who died in the late 18th century) remained, about  from the cliff edge.

In popular culture and literature

The novel Red Eve by H Rider Haggard has several scenes set in fourteenth century Dunwich.  The title character, Eve Clavering, is a member of a Dunwich family whose properties have been partly destroyed by the sea.

The poet Algernon Swinburne wrote By the North Sea following visits to Dunwich in 1875 and 1877.

In the novel "An Affair of Dishonour" by William De Morgan the Battle of Solebay is viewed from the shore by characters living at a manor house said to be remote "since the sea swallowed up the township of which it was a suburb".

Al Stewart's 1993 song "The Coldest Winter in Memory" includes the lines

The last track on Brian Eno's 1982 album Ambient 4: On Land is called "Dunwich Beach, Autumn, 1960." Eno was born in Woodbridge, Suffolk, about 23 miles from Dunwich.

British Progressive Rock band The Future Kings of England recorded a track called "Dunwich" for their 2007 album The Fate of Old Mother Orvis. The cover of the album features an old photo of Dunwich.

Norwegian science fiction and fantasy author Øyvind Myhre in 1991 published the novel Mørke over Dunwich (Darkness over Dunwich), set in the village. Myhre connects the name of the village to H. P. Lovecraft's story "The Dunwich Horror" (set in the US) and draws on the Cthulhu mythos, primarily the novella The Shadow over Innsmouth, for his own horror story.

In the "Laundry Files" series of books by Charles Stross the village of Dunwich is used as training facility for a secret occult agency. These books also draw from the Lovecraft mythos.

W.G. Sebald's 1995 novel The Rings of Saturn features a visit by the author to Dunwich in the course of his walking tour of Suffolk in 1992; it forms a primary basis for his meditation on time, memory and decay.

P.D. James's 1967 novel Unnatural Causes is partly set in Dunwich.

Mark Fisher and Justin Barton's essay On Vanishing Land references the sunken city, the surrounding area and the Eno album from where it takes its name.

Lovejoy episode 'The Last of the Uzkoks' opens with Lovejoy, supposedly in Dunwich, looking at some Charles Keen sketches of Dunwich on Sea (), and indicating that it 'is under 30 ft of water'.

Euro plunge halted after ECB unleashes torrent of money
https://str.sg/3QYv
NEW YORK (Bloomberg) - After its biggest slide since being created in 1999, the euro is finding a floor.
A torrent of money unleashed by the European Central Bank is fueling demand from U.S. and other international investors for the region's stocks - and the currency needed to buy them.
After tumbling from almost US$1.40 in May 2014, the euro is poised to rise in April for the first time in 10 months. It was at US$1.0862 at 11:30 a.m. in Tokyo on Monday, up from US$1.0731 at the end of March. Since March 6, it has closed in a five-cent trading band between US$1.0496 and US$1.0970.
Global mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that focus on European equities attracted US$63.6 billion this year through April 22, up 70 per cent over the same period in 2014, according to data compiled by EPFR Global.
Rather than a referendum on the outlook for growth in the euro zone, demand for the euro reflects appetite from investors who want a piece of this year's 19 per cent rally in the region's stocks.
"European equities went from being an incredibly unloved asset class to very fashionable almost overnight," David Donabedian, chief investment officer at Atlantic Trust Private Wealth Management. "In the short term, the euro will probably firm a bit more."
Demand for the region's equities has driven the Stoxx Europe 600 Index to a record since ECB President Mario Draghi announced his quantitative-easing plan on Jan. 22. The gains mirror the reaction during the Federal Reserve's third bond-buying program, which ran from September 2012 to October 2014 and sent U.S. stocks higher. The U.S. dollar strengthened about 10 percent in that time.
Some money managers are forgoing currency hedges on their European investments, Nomura Holdings analysts led by Jens Nordvig wrote in an April 17 note.
About 30 per cent of the US$25.5 billion channeled into U.S. exchange-traded funds focused on European equities went into unhedged strategies, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That US$8 billion is about comparable to the entire amount that was invested in the same period of 2014 across both hedged and unhedged ETFs with a similar focus.
"If you're a North American investor, we finally have QE, we finally have policy makers responding," Susanne Alexandor, a senior member of the investment team at Cougar Global Investments Ltd., a Toronto-based investor in ETFs with $1.3 billion under management, said April 21. "We like the market and we decided to take the currency unhedged because we don't have huge conviction that the euro could go a lot lower from here."

China expected to invest $1bn in Russian solar energy
29 Oct, 2014 16:18
AFP Photo/Viktor Drachev © AFP
China's Solar Systems may become the largest investor in the Russian solar power industry. The company plans to construct a plant for the production of solar panels in Russia's Tatarstan Republic next year.
Solar Systems is a subsidiary of China's Amur Sirius, and estimates the total investment at around $1 billion, the company's head of investment and finance Olga Bykova told Vedomosti.
In July 2014 Solar Systems won a tender to build 175 megawatt of solar energy capacity in three Russian regions. The company plans to have them working in 2016-2018.
The construction of the power plants is expected to cost around $450 million. The company wants to take part in other Russian tenders hence the plans to build the solar panel factory in Tatarstan costing up to $212.3 million. The investment could be recouped in six to eight years, Bykova says.
Russian legislation forces investors to construct solar power stations using domestically produced equipment, that's why Solar Systems will localize production in the country. The factory will be able to produce at least 100 MW of solar panels a year.
Solar Systems is going to choose financial and technological partners by the end of the year. "We are considering six applications from both Chinese and European companies," Bykova explains. The partner may get a share in the company.
"We are negotiating with a wide range of investors, including funds and banks, but it's too early to talk about concrete results," she says.
Sberbank, ING and IFC are among the companies participating in the negotiations. Solar System is considering keeping a quarter to a third of the company and is also planning to take a loan out in China for constructing the plant and solar facilities.

Q: PhotoSwipe with AngularJS I've successfully implemented PhotoSwipe on a small gallery project of mine, following these instructions: http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials/the-perfect-lightbox-using-photoswipe-with-jquery--cms-23587
I would like to do it the Angular way instead though.
I've tried this https://github.com/m00s/angular-photoswipe , but the demo implementation just results in Unknown provider: bProvider <- b <- ngPhotoswipeDirective
Then I've played around with https://github.com/jsnmgpnty/angular-photoswipe for some time now and I managed to implement it partly. I'm not 100% fan of the way it's structured, but it seems to be the best one out there. But before I get in to deep I'm open to alternatives and suggestions!
What's the best way to implement PhotoSwipe with Angular when it needs to be used on different repeated items with dynamic image content which can be modified?

Q: Dismissing iphone low battery alert programmatically I'm writing a camera app where the user will be unable to access the touch screen without significant effort. I'm using the (+) volume button to take videos, I would like to either:
1) Ignore the 10% and 20% volume alert that pops up entirely. I'd be surprised if I apple let me do this.
OR
2) Allow the user to dismiss the popup with the (+) button. i.e. dismiss the popup programmatically.
There are SO questions related to this, I've tried disabling battery monitoring from this post when the batter hits ~11% and 21%, but that does not work. This other post talks about detecting all interrupts, and going through all the views when a battery interrupt happens, its a good idea but since its from 2009 and is a bit hacky (might be rejected by the store) I thought I'd ask you all whether you knew of any other way I might do this.

A: Not possible. The low battery alert is a system alert. It can't be controlled from any 3rd party app.
