Live Review and Q&A: Trophy Wife at The Mercury Lounge
As her name would suggest, the musical output of Trophy Wife—the solo project of 21-year-old Berklee student McKenzie Iazzetta—is inherently subversive. Her songwriting and her distinct vocal delivery constantly contradict one another, with lyrics where she leans into the role of the austere and unaffected "cool girl" trudging her way through the endlessly messy charade of daily life. Take songs like "Involved," and "Knife Fight" for example, where Iazzetta wails through gritted teeth, "I didn't mean to get excited, I didn't mean to get involved," and "I do not need it, you were only a test in the first place, try me, try me, try me."
These lyrics function as a form of protection against ever being perceived as emotionally damaged or wounded, a similar technique employed by her contemporary indie predecessors like Phoebe Bridgers, Mitski, Snail Mail, and Japanese Breakfast. But don't be fooled by the text. The strained cracks in her voice give her away every time. It is this naked vulnerability and juxtaposition of earnestness and defensiveness, hopefulness and despondence, infatuation and disgust, that makes her songwriting so compellingly sincere.
I caught Trophy Wife on Wednesday at The Mercury Lounge on a bill with Charles Irwin and Sub*T. She was the first of the three acts to take the stage, donning her best babydoll grunge getup while she attentively tinkered with the tuning pegs on her baby blue Fender Jazzmaster before leading her band through the opening number of their setlist, "Ask Me Anything."

Throughout her eight-song set, Trophy Wife performed every song on her latest EP Bruiser, as well as an unreleased song called "Baby's Breath" and an enthralling cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' classic lovelorn ballad "Maps," which she was quick to deem "the best song ever written." It was a gorgeous tribute to the NYC garage rock legends that evoked the same visceral growing pains Karen O had to be feeling when she wrote the song close to Iazzetta's age.
One of the most enjoyable highlights of the performance was the undeniable chemistry between Iazzetta and her live band. Near the climactic end of their closing number, the seven-minute long opus "I'm Getting Better," her guitarist Mario Perez shredded violently on his back while her drummer Michael Martelli continually thrashed his head wildly as he played, throwing his entire body into robust snare hits that would make you think he was chipping away at cement. But none of this detracted from the captivating pull Iazzetta had on the audience, her spellbinding croons and dreamy guitar strums grounding and centering the rest of the band in a divine form of dynamic synchronicity.

A Grrrl's Two Sound Cents caught up with Iazzetta prior to her set at the Mercury Lounge to discuss the icky feelings of growing up that inspired Bruiser, her love of Liz Phair, and how re-recording a song she wrote at nineteen allowed her to forgive her younger self.
You're currently pursuing a degree at Berklee. How has it been balancing school life and the responsibilities of a working musician?
Luckily it's easier if you go to music school. It's a lot of time management but it normally works out well since most of the shows I book are on the weekends.
If you could morph into any rock star, living or dead, who would it be?
Probably Mitski. A close second would be Fiona Apple, but she's got enough bullshit to deal with already. I wouldn't exactly want to live through her particular circumstances.
I understand that you grew up listening to several artists in the Lilith Fair lineup (Liz Phair, Ani DiFranco, Indigo Girls, Tori Amos). Who in that camp has influenced your writing the most?
Definitely Liz Phair. I had the song "Johnny Feelgood," in constant rotation as a child because my mom would always play it. She chronicled the trial-by-fire way of navigating life in a very blunt and tongue-in-cheek way that I really gravitate to as a songwriter.
How did you go about writing and recording Bruiser?
I already had a batch of songs written and one of my roommates Micah said, "You should definitely record these." Micah played drums on the record and got his friend who runs a studio to let us use the space. We had rehearsed the songs a bunch and showed up to the studio with a really fresh and open mind. It was all done in a weekend.
My favorite track on the EP is "I'm Getting Better." What did the process of bringing that song to life entail?
I just sat down one day and thought "I really needed to write a longer song," and it ended up being twice as long as I anticipated. That one came together the smoothest. All of the vocals were done in three takes before we layered them. We really just wanted it to sound like it was being delivered "through gritted teeth," and for listeners to feel that tension and sort of hold their breath.
What made you decide to re-record and repurpose "Knife Fight?"
I just didn't feel like it sounded like me anymore. The first one was recorded when I was nineteen. I was still figuring myself out when I first wrote it and didn't think the song was as fully-realized as I wanted it to be.
Do you still resonate with that song now?
I wrote it a long time ago, so it's not so much that I still resonate with it now, but more that I can better understand what I was feeling at that time. I can look back at that time with more perspective and this new version is sort of an ode to baby me. A way of forgiving my younger self.
What has been the most interesting takeaway listeners have had from this EP?
I think what's been really cool is that listeners have made all these thematic connections between all the songs that I never noticed until they were pointed out to me. I was using a lot of sarcasm as a defense mechanism and deflecting blame in these songs, basically "cool girl"-ing my way through the trial-and-error situations of everyday life.
You've received many comparisons to Phoebe Bridgers and Snail Mail. Does that ever put pressure on you?
Not really. I have my own thing, but I think it would be pretty flamboyantly egotistical to claim, "No! I'm not influenced by that at all," because that's obviously not true. I can definitely see the parallels, because I make music that is a certain flavor of coming-of-age with a tinge of anger, which is very on brand for them. It's certainly flattering that I'm even receiving those comparisons at all.
Finally, what's the best thing to listen to to get hyped up before going onstage?
Definitely Wednesday. They're a shoegaze band from Asheville, NC and I'm obsessed with their latest album Twin Plagues.

Back in November I spent the day in Marseille & had lunch with a friend at Le Comptoir Dugommier.
For many years this was a restuarant run by an elderly Lithuanian woman & each Friday this friend used to lunch there. It was the first time she'd been since the old lady retired last year, so she was keen to see how it had changed.
All the old charm is still there in spades with the addition of some funky 70s touches, including coloured formica tables & chairs and red checked wax tablecloths.
Oh and the food is really good too.
Marion had lunch there a few weeks ago also. Have a look at her pics.
I love this time between Christmas & New Year. I hope you're all having a merry time!

Police stop photographer over snow pictures
Amateur photographer magazine technical writer Richard Sibley has been stopped by police while taking photos of snow in Bromley, Kent today.
Richard, who lives nearby, said he was questioned by a Police Community Support Officer as he took pictures of a snow-covered train station.
?He asked what I was doing,' said Richard (pictured).
'I replied ?I'm taking photos in the snow?.'
?He said ?I'm asking as this is a time of heightened security?. To which I pointed out that I didn't think Bromley South Station in the snow would be a likely terrorist target… especially as a potential terrorist could just look up the same images on Google Street View without getting their feet and hands cold'.
In recent years Amateur photographer has been at the forefront of a nationwide campaign to defend photographers? right to take pictures in public, as many fell victim to anti-terror laws.
In the summer, the Government cut back police power to use the controversial Section 44 Terrorism Act stop-and-search rule following a long-running campaign by photography organisations and civil rights activists.
Section 44 – recently overhauled – allowed officers to stop a person without reasonable grounds for suspicion, while Section 58A – introduced in February last year – makes it a potential offence to photograph a police officer.
In August, Home Secretary Theresa May said the use of counter-terrorism legislation in relation to photography would be reviewed as a 'priority' as part of a rapid overhaul of anti-terrorism laws.
The results of the review are due to be published shortly.
She added: 'I want a counter-terrorism regime that is proportionate, focused and transparent. We must ensure that in protecting public safety, the powers we need to deal with terrorism are in keeping with Britain's traditions of freedom and fairness.
'We will look at the evidence presented to us and where it is clear that legislation needs to be amended or powers need to be rolled back, we will do so.'
The results of the anti-terrorism review were originally due to be published in the autumn.
Changes to anti-terror laws will be introduced as part of the Freedom Bill.
? AP will report further details of Richard's experience as they become available.

When You Gotta Go, Go. The Dangers of "Holding It In"
When your body sends a signal that it s time to use the restroom, you shouldn t ignore it. Here are some surprising reasons why. How many times have you thought "I can hold it" when you feel the urge to use a bathroom, but you're in a hurry to get somewhere else, you're in a socially embarrassing position, or there's no restroom facility nearby?

Potential New Treatment for Crohn s Disease
New research gives hope to those struggling with this digestive condition. Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects 500,000 Americans. A major complication of Crohn's disease is the development of fibrosis. That's when the bowel lining hardens and thickens and causes the intestine to lose its mobility.
4 Foods for a Healthy Colon
Squeamish about the colon cleanse trend? Add these four foods to your diet instead. The digestive system converts food into nourishment and energy by breaking down food into a useable format so it can be absorbed through the walls of the intestines into the body. The remaining waste products remain in the colon until we have a bowel movement.
8 Ways to Improve Digestion
You are what you eat. Eat well. Be well. Our digestive systems are complex. A long tube connects the mouth to the anus. Along the way, the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine (colon), and rectum help digest food. The liver and pancreas produce digestive juices to help break down food into small parts the body can use for nourishment.
Yes, You Can Deal With a Restricted Diet
When a medical condition means you or a loved one must change how you eat, it feels overwhelming. Start here. If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with a condition—like celiac, diabetes, food allergy—that requires dietary changes, you know that it can be jarring. After all, what could be more fun than ordering a pizza for the big game or celebrating a special event at a favorite restaurant? Suddenly being unable to do those things, or having to put a lot more thought and care into eating, may leave you feeling frustrated and angry.

I have been taking pictures of pet rats for years hoping to break the negative image that is often associated with these lovely animals.
Here are some of these photographs, both of my rats and of my friends' rats and, as you may see, they are far from being dirty nasty little monsters! They are actually highly intelligent social beings that love interacting with each other and their favorite humans. They are very friendly, smart, playful, they love cuddles and are very clean: many rat owners agree to compare them to tiny dogs.
I made all the little accessories (except for the little black hat) so these wouldn't constrain the rats: they could remove them very easily, although they didn't bother most of the time as they were quite cool and relaxed. No animals were harmed during the making of these pictures, the ladybug was also alive and well and flew away soon after the photo shooting.
Is he even real? So beautiful, such a sweet face!
Why are yawning animals so freaking adorable?
This photographer is the Anne Gedes of rats!
How in the world did u get them to hold still for these shots?
You HAVE to make a calendar and sell it!!!!
That must be a really tiny apple... Or a big rat! I guess a bigger rat means more furry surface area.
A vision of rat heaven, all the grapes u can eat!
Doesn't this name mean "little bear"? Nails it.
Absolutely amazing photos. You have a great talent!
I am a french illustrator / graphic designer / photographer currently living in Canada.
Aww what a sweet (yet sad) story, I am sorry that you had to give him away... maybe he had some hormonal issues (which happens quite often with rescue male rats, especially when they have been raised alone), which would explain his behavior... They are very smart and sweet indeed!
That customer was pretty awful person, I daresay.
We don't even know who it was. People need to get educated.
they are so lovely! I really like how you put them, they look beyond adorable!

Posted September 11, 2016.Functional MRI of prefrontal, temporal and occipital cortex during a novelty-induced alertness task in humans. Functional magnetic resonance imaging of the human cerebral cortex was used to investigate brain activity patterns associated with a novelty-induced alertness task. To investigate the function of distributed cortical network structures during the novelty effect, a block design paradigm with a constant period of 20 s blocked by 9 different conditions was adopted. Subjects were presented with a random sequence of 28 stimuli, including 10 periods of environmental noise (20 s) followed by a steady-state stimulus (20 s), in a quasi-random way. Functional MRI (fMRI) was performed with a T2*-weighted EPI sequence (TR = 1,550 ms, TE = 30 ms, 21 slices per slice, 3.6 x 3.6 x 3.6 mm3, matrix size 64 x 64, field of view = 24 cm) for a period of 900 s. Data were analysed with the statistical parametric mapping software. During the novelty effect, BOLD activation was observed in the prefrontal, fronto-temporal and occipital areas. In the case of novelty, BOLD activations were observed in the medial prefrontal cortex, the inferior frontal gyrus (BA 46 and BA 47), the medial temporal gyrus, the orbital gyrus (BA 11) and the occipital cortex. These results indicate that the prefrontal, fronto-temporal and occipital areas play an important role in processing stimuli perceived as novel and in the novelty effect of human brain function.We're not exactly known for our computer expertise, but with some handy advice and a couple of tricks, we can keep our work updated and up-to-date without any fuss at all.

It is worth noting that each stream operates in different address space on the device. GPUs in general are weak at passing addresses as well as fetching data, however these are generally performed by the host CPU. For example, the `\v` operator takes and returns a pointer to the address of its first operand, and the `\S` operator returns a pointer to the address of the second operand, both of which are pointers to volatile data. This technique is used to transfer data in a memory-mapped or registers-mapped manner. Memory addressing is essentially a pointer to the first operand or a pointer to the second operand. Because these devices are designed to manipulate memory, the simple addressing scheme is used to refer to memory on the device. However, these structures

12.9-Inch iPad Pro Reportedly Being Prepped For Early 2014 Release
With the iPad mini, and more recently, the iPad mini with Retina display now taking pride of place alongside the tactically rebranded iPad Air, Apple's tablet range is as diverse as it has ever been. But with many other companies going larger than the 9.7-inch diameter of the full-size device's screen, there have been numerous suggestions that Apple will come through with a model packing a 12.9-inch Retina panel. Apparently, manufacturers have been given the green light to go ahead and produce this very display for the so-called "iPad Pro," which will, according to reports, release during the first part of 2014.
Just as with the talk of the iPad mini prior to the release of the slate back in the latter stages of last year, the notion of an iPad Pro has been received with a decided amount of skepticism. But with the seemingly informed Korea Times suggesting that production of the 12.9-inch Retina display is now in motion, we could have our first real indicator that this device is indeed real, and will be releasing early next year.
The iPad 4, iPad Air and both iPad minis enjoyed a fall release ready for the holiday season, but with Apple familiar with what it takes to release an iPad in March, it could well be that the company is planning an early release of what will be, by a considerable margin, the largest iPad to date.
The Tim Cook-lead outfit seems to have the form factor down to a fine art, with the uniform look and feel of the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display the subject of much acclaim. As such, we would expect the iPad pro to look similar to the current models, but include that larger screen and perhaps more power than the two currently available models.
Maintaining the Retina display over a larger surface area will push the iPad Pro into UHD territory, although one has to wonder how big the market would be for such a device. Moreover, with KGI Securities' fairly accurate analyst Ming-Chi Kuo having suggested that Apple will release a refreshed iPad Air early next year, we'll be taking these claims with a pinch of salt for the time being.

Nowadays, having a side business to gain your income is a must. There are a lot of opportunities you can choose as side business, like accommodation, especially for those who have unused house or building.
Although there is a lot of accommodations in Jakarta, in fact, people demand makes this business have a good opportunity to make your pocket full. First and foremost, before you run an accommodation business, you should consider the location of your house or building. Is it strategic or not?
Second, determine accommodation type based on target market. If your target is people who only need a place to rest and does not care about the supported hotel facilities, such as students or office workers, it is not necessary to choose bed & breakfast concept, accommodation with free breakfast for any guests. Then focus on your location, cleanliness, standard furniture, including bed, cupboard, chair and table, Wi-Fi access and parking area.
However, if your target is individual leisure or business traveller or those who need to stay little bit longer in Jakarta, you can choose the concept of bed & breakfast, you provide hotel-like accommodation, bed and breakfast for them.
Last but not least, the successful of your accommodation business depends on promotion strategy. With development of technology, you can use any kind social medias as a promotion tools. Make the promotion as attractive as possible to gain the occupancy. If your concept is bed & breakfast, you can make them interest with special weekend promo or other promo like 3 Days 2 Night and off season deals.


The answer: Yes. The question: Could you hijack my yacht? The backstory: It all started at SXSW. After hearing professor Todd Humphreys report in his 2013 SXSW Interactive panel that he had brought down an unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) with a specialized GPS cyber attack, a distinguished-looking audience member with a British accent challenged him: "I don't suppose you could do the same with a 213-foot Super Yacht?" So began an improbable story that culminated with an improbable scene: a $2k box the size of a small briefcase controlling an $80M yacht the size of a jumbo jet. A team of UT Austin scientists used the custom-made GPS device to take control of the White Rose of Drachs as it sailed last June in the Mediterranean. The White Rose's captain will give a first-person account of the attack. The panel will discuss the technical aspects of the hack and the broader implications of location deception, highlighting the challenge of using location as an authentication factor.
I am a mariner and have been all my working life. I am therefore an end user of GPS. For the last 10 years I have been responsible for the operation of White Rose of Drachs a 65m/214ft super yacht. Last year I attended SXSW and met some remarkable people. One of whom, Professor Todd Humphries, came on board and spoofed the GPS receivers causing White Rose to go off course - with out me knowing! The experiment we carried out was a world first and demonstrated just how fragile GPS information we all take for granted really is.

Ignorance stems from little knowledge.
And little knowledge is dangerous.
Especially of something as serious as AIDS.
Important decisions are made on insufficient data.
Life long biases are formed and transferred, based on irrational fears.
when they should at least be understood if not embraced.
Because judging is easier than making an informed decision.
Let's hold back a second before pointing fingers.
Let's find a cure for ignorance first.


Individual health is shaped by many economic and social factors such as income, education, access to high-quality health care, geography, and race and ethnicity. Uneven access to conditions that are needed for good health across the United States has been well documented, as have the poor effects on health that result — not only for individuals but also for their families and society.
The National Academy of Medicine's Culture of Health Program, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is a multiyear collaborative effort to identify strategies to create and sustain conditions that support equitable good health for everyone in America. Since launching, the program released a consensus study on how communities can promote health equity in their local settings, launched three additional consensus studies, held a nationwide community art project, developed a community documentary series, and traveled the country to learn how communities are promoting health equity on the ground. Upcoming activities and tools include an art project inspired by young leaders across the nation, an online resource hub, and additional public workshops.

Nick over at The Accursed Share posts his interesting essay on the problem of the waiting for the event, "What is to be done? Alain Badiou and the Pre-eventual" . His desire to de-emphasize the event is notable, and something I have affinity for, but I simply cannot follow his reasoning one what to do prior to the eruption in the situation. We had some extensive discussion, and still I am not clear on his point (at the very least my stunted comprehension may have brought out even more of Nick's interesting thoughts for readers).
Apart from the bearing of this immediately upon Badiou, it is that very real sense in which there is ever a performative count-as-one, which makes up the semiotic horizon (inside/outside) that maintains itself through an internal coherence. This horizon is extended to include other horizon bound elements, for instance as Nick suggests, families, political unions, etc. which result from the resolution of cognitive dissonances, that is eruptions (events) within the internal coherence. Regularly, at least with human beings (though I believe it can be argued all the way down to the panpsychic), one experiences the rupture of expectation of coherence, even in our moment to moment thoughts, tracing the electric line, the "hole" at the center of consciousness. And these incoherences are then regularly made coherent again through the assertion of new, ordered states of other situations, other bodies with their own semiotic horizons (we judge their source to be either ideational/affective states of other things, our own erroneous or less than coherent internal events, or events in our shared world). What is fundamental though is that these ever eruptive events occur not only outside, in the meta-coherence of our own bodies and other bodies in a shared world (that situation), but also in a way that is not locatable within one of these three domains (self, others, world). The reason for this is that our perceptual bodies, the horizon of our semiosis is necessarily extended out beyond our own bodies, such that within our performative unity there are disruptions that occur neither within, or external to us, but BOTH, as part of our conjoined semiosis with other things. It is precisely this immanence that Nick's observation of pre-existing situations which perpetuate through an event eruption touches on, how there is ever a continuity within the eruption of the event, a material line of traction, pushing our processes of re-coherence forward.

Mike Chappell is a graduate of Beech Grove High School and Ball State University's Class of 1973.
He jokes that he has covered the Indianapolis Colts since they arrived on the Mayflower in 1984. Chappell began working at the Indy Star in the summer of '84 and initially was the backup Colts writer while also covering small colleges. In 1989, he took over as the beat writer and held that position until 2013. Chappell left the newspaper in September 2014.
Chappell says he has had the pleasure of seeing a lot great NFL football, and some pretty bad football in the Colts early years. He has covered tons of Super Bowls, including the two involving the Colts.
Chappell is a long-time member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee (a pretty big deal, if we do say so ourselves). He was inducted into the Indiana Sportswriters and Sportscasters Hall of Fame in 2014 and was named Indiana's Sportswriter of the Year for 2014.
He currently lives in Beech Grove with his wife, Cathy.
Taking a look at the Colts' defensive line ahead of training camp
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – A season of great expectations awaits, as does a second summer at Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield. They go hand in hand. After three months of offseason work and a five-week lull, the Indianapolis Colts report to Grand Park July 24 for the start of training camp. They're on the practice field for the first time the following day. Between now and then, we'll take a position-by-position look at a team coming off a 10-6 season […]

Colts want to keep training camp open to fans
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The trend across the NFL landscape seems to be one of limiting fan access when it comes to training camp, that three-week period when competition heightens and rosters are finalized. The Philadelphia Eagles are taking it to the extreme. When they announced their training camp schedule earlier this week, the notable number was: one. That's how many camp sessions will be open to the general public. That's down from two the previous summer. The Eagles routinely had […]
Colts head into 'offseason' but it's hardly an extended break
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – If there truly is an offseason to that year-'round enterprise we call the NFL, we're in it. But even that comes with a caveat. As Frank Reich gathered his Indianapolis Colts for the last time Thursday before everybody reconvenes at Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield in late July, he made certain they understood what's ahead. Take the next week, he insisted, and recover from the extensive three-month offseason program that culminated with the three-day mandatory minicamp. […]

Financial terms were not released, by the Stanford product was due a four-year deal worth $3.403 million with an $883,116 signing bonus under the NFL's rookie wage scale. Okereke is the last of the Colts' 10 draft picks to sign his rookie deal. The team […]
Extension with Colts leaves Kenny Moore II 'speechless'
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – This isn't the way these things normally are handled. We're talking about a team possessing the bulk of the leverage in contract negotiations yet still initiating extension talks with players who will be restricted free agents at the end of the season. Not unrestricted free agents-to-be, but restricted and still in large part at the mercy of management. But here we are, again. For the third time this month, the Indianapolis Colts went against the norm and […]

A response to the Guardian's Gary Younge on Open Borders
by Defend Europa October 21, 2017 September 25, 2018
Recently, Guardian writer Gary Younge has written an opinion piece entitled "End all immigration controls – they're a sign we value money more than people". To spare you the pain of reading it and giving ad revenue to the Guardian, I'll summarize his points below:
After the West cheered the fall of the Berlin Wall, they built their own walls to keep immigrants out – this is hypocritical
"As a principle, I think we should all be able to roam the planet and live, love and create where we wish."
Borders makes family visits difficult for his Barbadian kin, which have spread across the world
Borders are arbitrary lines in the ground
Borders for capital have essentially been lifted, and people most affected by this are affected most by tight immigration restrictions
"They do not simply set boundaries for countries, but are metaphors for the boundaries of how we might think about other human beings."
The body of his argument is, of course, more nuanced than these tidbits of lunacy that I've picked out. If you want to descent into the pit of cosmopolitanism, please do visit the article itself, but not before turning on your adblocker. But the title of his article reveals his main point. We'll come to that in due course. For now, I'll be addressing some of his points listed above.
January 6, 2020 January 7, 2020 4529
His first point about the Berlin Wall can be refuted easily. We in the West cheered the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the wider Eastern Bloc, as it was a symbol of Marxist oppression. One people, the German people, was divided by an artificial construct. Would we care nearly as much if, say, a wall between communist Bulgaria and Greece were erected in the same time period? No, of course we wouldn't. The German ethnic group was divided unfairly, whereas this hypothetical scenario would leave two separate and distinct ethnic groups separate, which is a fair use of a wall. Not to mention, saying that as the West supported the collapse of one wall, it should support the collapse of all others, is simply a bad point.
The argument that borders are arbitrary lines is absolutely ridiculous, especially in Europe. Take the border of France and Spain, for example. This border follows the Pyrenees mountain range, which has acted as a geographic cultural divider between the French and Spanish regions for time immemorial. This isn't some random drawn line – this is both a geographic and cultural divide. The same goes for the Northern Irish border – it was forged by ethnocultural/religious change in Ulster as a consequence of the Ulster Plantation. This is no arbitrary line! Again, it marks an ethnic and religious split, which is something Mr Younge cannot comprehend. I will concede, however, that in some places, primarily Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia, borders were drawn haphazardly and arbitrarily. However, this article is clearly written with the intent of removing European borders.
Actually, you know what? Let's do it. Let's imagine Gary Younge's "utopian" dream of a world with no borders comes to fruition. Africans flock en masse to Europe. Our integration issues increase hundredfold. Our economy begins to tank, as our streets become a war zone between them and us. Our culture is influenced greatly, and eventually supplanted by that of Africa and the Middle East. Eventually, we become a minority in our homeland as the PoC makes its final move and steals the instruments of government from our altruistic hands. We then pan to Africa, which has suffered a brain-drain of colossal proportions – with the few migrants that to take in would benefit us economically, now working in our beleaguered-with-assaults-and-rapes-and-STIs healthcare systems. But they would be outnumbered drastically by young men, desperate for welfare, or low-paying jobs that our own children could do with.
And do you know what? This would increase world GDP! Yes! As insane as it seems, opening borders would double world GDP, resulting in more wealth for all! It has been said by a wise individual whose name eludes me, that nowadays, we live in an economy, and not a nation. That is to say that money and wealth is more important to us than being part of a coherent group with an identity forged on thousands of years of history and culture. Opening borders would result in our people suffering drastically, but we would all be richer. So, surely this is the opposite of what our friend Gary Younge said?
It is. Borders show we care about people more than money, and not the other way around. Opening them would show that we have lost any love for our people, filling that hole with consumerism and a thirst for money. Gary Younge, you are incorrect.

This week's article is a continuation of information about termites. Did you know that the queen from the Termitidae family can produce 10 million eggs per year? Here are some more tips to keep them at bay!
When inspecting your home for termites, there are some tell-tale signs to look out for. Some termites leave a tunnel like an elongated cave that sits on the surface of walls. Others leave small piles of what looks like sawdust. This detritus is really termite excrement. If you are not sure, sweep it up and then check again within 4 to 6 hours. If small piles or tunnels reoccur in the same place, call your exterminator immediately.
Sometimes you cannot see the damage so knock on every wood surface and wall. This includes furniture, door jams, doors, and even your kitchen and bathroom cabinetry. The areas where termites have eaten will sound hollow. You should be able to see indentations and even be able to push your finger right through the surface.
Termites like to crawl between the walls and along pipes. It's always a good idea to seal any open spaces they can crawl through as a preventative measure.
Some kitchen and bathroom cabinetry in newer condos and casas are prone to attract termites due to the materials from which they are constructed. Termites have been known to eat cabinetry made from untreated particle board starting from behind the walls, through the boxes and inside the doors. Make sure to remove all items in your cabinetry and inspect all the way to the back.
Many door jams and mirrors are affixed with plywood or untreated pine blocks. These and shims are also very attractive to termites.
Regularly seal all your countertop seams. Water seeps into the particle board beneath the countertop making it damp – an ideal location for termites.
Be wary of any furniture you purchase. Lower cost furniture, also known as fast furniture, is made from untreated softwoods such as Mexican pine (often available at roadside bodegas) and low-grade particle board (like what you might purchase back home in a well-known Swedish furniture store or in most department and big box stores). Termites may have already embedded themselves inside the item at the carpenter's shop or in the warehouse. Paying more up front for hardwood or treated higher grade softwoods often saves you a headache and money in the long run. Once a piece of furniture is infested, your best defense of future problems is to get rid of it.
Since no insurance covers termite damage, it's a good idea to spray your home regularly as a cautionary measure. There are no guarantees, but regular inspections and proactive measures can reduce your risk. A whole house spray for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home is comparatively inexpensive and can be completed in less than one hour. For those with allergies and sensitivities to sprays, ask your exterminator for alternatives.

The production, transmission and consumption of media have changed radically within our lifetimes. Swiftly advancing technologies, the rise of social media and rapidly shifting business models have crumbled the divide between journalist and audience. In the media sessions, programmed by The Economist Events, our expert speakers will consider where responsibility lies between content producers, aggregators and consumers of media. Over the four days of the Culture Summit 2019, the panellists will debate the following questions: where is the boundary between free speech, censorship and civic responsibility? How should media outlets responsibly cover the post-truth politician? And, how can media platforms remain open for user content without allowing themselves to be hijacked by malicious actors?
The rise of media-savvy populist politicians, activists and commentators who are adept at generating coverage of themselves and targeting social media to broadcast their comments to a wider audience is leading to a rethink. Where is the balance between providing a platform and interrogating the veracity of their views? Business models for media outlets will also be considered, and with a wave of mass-layoffs at the original "new media" companies what lies in store for business models for media companies old and new in the information age?
While much coverage of the media focuses on how people are retreating into echo chambers where they can have their own opinions repeated back to them, what are the positive impacts of the media? How does the media exert soft power and change attitudes? The media stream will also look forward into how continuing technological change will enable new forms of journalism and enhance old ones. How can tools such as AI scanning social media for breaking news, and software to grapple with big data sets enable new forms of journalism or ways of telling stories? Have news sharing tools exacerbated polarisation of the discourse or merely made us more aware of it? More interestingly, what can be done to combat the problem?
Across the globe, new museums focusing on contemporary art are opening at an unprecedented rate, and established museums are grappling with how to keep pace with a rapidly changing world. Exploring the future of museums has never been more urgent—or more poised for impact. The meteoric rise of digital technology, an evolving definition of culture, and shifting expectations from new audiences demand a reexamination of how museums, seen as stewards, conveners, and seekers, can evolve with the needs and pace of the 21st century.
The scope of these dramatic shifts can perhaps fall under two essential questions: What exactly are the influences shaping the next generation of global art museums? And how can museums thoughtfully engage with the diversity arising from new art histories, while honoring the legacy of the past? These inquiries are at the heart of three panel discussions organized by the Guggenheim Museum, which will invite conversation, idea exchange, and debate between some of today's leading museum directors, curators, artists, and cultural influencers.
In the first panel, artists Emeka Ogboh and Kudo Takashi join museum digital strategists Lizzy Jongma (formerly of Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam) and Martin Payne (The British Museum) to debate what role technology plays in the museum setting from the unique perspectives of visitors and artists. Moderated by Guggenheim curator Troy Therrien, this discussion explores digital tactics that museums are undertaking to enhance the visitor experience, while staying responsive to artists working with and even inventing new media technologies.
Artists often draw freely from multiple time periods as sources of creative inspiration or as topics of radical critique, but the rigid periodization of history as displayed in our museums makes mixing up temporalities an intellectual taboo. Antonia Carver, Director, Art Jameel; Wanda Nanibush, Curator of Indigenous Art, Art Gallery of Ontario; and artists Shahzia Sikander and Subodh Gupta endeavor to break down this enduring museum tradition: organizing art, objects, and cultures through time-based categories and distinct historical periods. This timely conversation, moderated by Guggenheim senior curator Alexandra Munroe, proposes alternate ways to see the cultural past through the lens of the present, and explores how different approaches towards chronological time can activate museum galleries into more lively and curious spaces.
To conclude the Museums sessions, Guggenheim director Richard Armstrong moderates a conversation amongst leading museum directors who reflect on the boom of new contemporary art museums and their emerging identities as visionary social spaces for education, entertainment and enlightenment. Many of these new international museums are opening in societies under great transition and with relatively little exposure to contemporary art institutions. Aaron Seeto, Director, Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara (MACAN); Suhanya Raffel, Director, M+; Madeleine Grynsztejn, Director, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Manal Ataya, Director General, Sharjah Museums Authority; and Kulapat Yantrasast, Architect, wHY, dissect the forces shaping these new museums, examine how emerging local, global, young and digitally-native publics are impacting today's museum culture, and what effect these changes could and should have on museum experiences.
Culture Summit Abu Dhabi offers a timely opportunity for these vital conversations about museums, which can no longer be seen solely as platforms for dialogue and understanding, but as catalysts for transformative ideas and experiences. Anchored by the Guggenheim's founding belief that art has the ability transcend the quotidian and therefore transform society, each conversation aims to push the boundaries of convention to offer a space for an intellectual collision that we hope will lead to meaningful action.
In response to the broad idea of Cultural Responsibility, the Royal Academy of Arts is programming four panel discussions examining a range of topics that are of critical importance in a variety of ways across the globe. Each will be framed as a question or series of questions and be debated by distinguished artists, architects, curators, museum directors, cultural producers and commentators.
The first session will explore the idea of 'Popularity versus Populism". All major museums and many smaller ones aspire to engage with mass audiences and on one level this is admirable but why should art appeal to all? Also, under consideration is the contentious notion of elitism and the denigration of expertise in mass culture alongside the question as to whether or not liberal institutions are too sensitive to criticism. Debating this will be Lars Nittve, the Swedish former director of Tate Modern in London, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and M+ in Hong Kong; Munira Mirza, one-time deputy-Mayor of London with a brief for the city's cultural life, and Farooq Chaudhry, co-founder of the Akram Khan Dance Company.
Globalised visual culture is the subject of the second session and the question being posed is whether or not it is too dominant an idea to the detriment of local and regional traditions. There is obviously a paradox potentially at play here with museums and galleries seeking to adopt increasingly expansive approaches to their collections and exhibition programmes and to challenge the dominance of various narratives, particularly the traditional history of Western art. But is there is an increasing danger that multi-nationalism actually leads to a universal blandness? Among those wrestling with these issues will be Megan Tamati-Quennell from Te Papa in Wellington, New Zealand and Elana Brundyn from the Norval Foundation just outside Cape Town, South Africa.
The role of art in the public domain and its relationship with architecture is the third topic up for discussion. Public art has a long tradition but the notion of permanent public memorials have been increasingly questioned in recent years as has the status of Public Art as a category apart not to mention the dangers of it being mere civic decoration. Artists Oliver Beer and Sir Michael Craig-Martin, pioneers of new forms of art in public places, go head to head with architect Farshid Moussavi, whose impressive portfolio includes the landmark building for the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland, USA.
Finally, the critical and complex issue of Freedom of Expression which the European Human Rights Act maintains is for everyone. But outside the specific legal frameworks in which individuals should operate, what are the responsibilities of artists, curators and writers? Put another way, how much should we defend the right to offend and is there a universal moral code that should govern our attitudes towards censorship or is context always the key?
Among those discussing these questions will be artist Monica Narula, from the RAQS media collective in Delhi, the Palestinian artist and writer Khaled Hourani and Zelfira Tregulova, director of the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
Conceived and organized in partnership with UNESCO, the "Heritage and Emergencies" stream of the Culture Summit will explore, through four separate but related sessions, the challenges and opportunities associated with the safeguarding of cultural heritage in emergency situations, including both armed conflict and disasters. This has become recently a much-debated topic, notably because of the deliberate destruction of monuments and sites by terrorist organizations, and the devastating impacts of wars and natural disasters on cultural heritage. Interest in this question has been aroused well beyond the cultural domain, as the connections between culture and heritage, on one hand, and security and humanitarian issues, on the other hand, were becoming apparent. In this context, heritage can be understood both as a fragile asset to be protected and as a precious resource to strengthen resilience and foster the recovery of affected populations.
The first introductory session, "Why is Heritage a Priority in Crises?" will discuss the reasons why heritage should be given consideration as part of humanitarian response and peacebuilding strategies, through the experience of cultural experts and practitioners. Moderated by Lazare Eloundou, UNESCO Director for Culture and Emergencies, the session will also provide an opportunity to learn about threats affecting heritage in Yemen, plans for the recovery of the Museum of Rio de Janeiro and the positive role that art can play in realizing cultural rights and fostering resilience in the aftermath of a trauma.
The Second session, titled "What is the Role of Heritage in Post-Crisis Recovery and Reconstruction", will examine the place of heritage in the critical recovery stage after a war or major natural disaster, when many decisions are taken, which will have far-reaching consequences for the concerned populations. Moderated by Dr Shadia Touqan, Director of the Arab Regional Centre for World Heritage, the panellists will share concrete examples of culture-driven recovery and reconstruction initiatives, which emphasize the soft power of heritage in rebuilding the fabric of society, promote reconciliation and foster development following a crisis.
The third session will look into "How can New Technologies Support Heritage in Emergencies". In recent years, a number of technological developments have occurred, which have revolutionized the heritage field, in particular for the documentation, study and public presentation of cultural properties. Moderated by Einar Bjorgo, Manager of UNITAR's Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT), the panellists will shed light on three very different applications of technology at the service of heritage in emergencies, ranging from scientific study and public awareness to access to culture and exercise of cultural rights.
The final session, "Which New Actors for Heritage in Emergencies?", will highlight the kind of innovative partnerships that the heritage sector will need in the future if it wishes to be integrated into humanitarian, security and peacebuilding operations in emergencies. Moderated by Alessandra Borchi, Coordinator of the UNESCO Heritage Emergency Fund, the session will present some of the most relevant experiences so far, placing special focus on new initiatives to mobilize resources to protect heritage in armed conflict, as well as to strengthen the awareness and capacities of parties to those conflicts, including the militaries.

A discovery step toward cell replacement therapy for diabetes
By Susan Buckles
In what could be a step toward cell replacement therapy for diabetes, Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered how to manufacture cells capable of generating a hormone that regulates low blood sugar. Quinn Peterson, Ph.D. and his team have developed a new method of mass producing a cell product containing the hormone glucagon that is capable of protecting against hypoglycemia in animal models. Dr. Peterson's research is published in Nature Communications.
Quinn Peterson, Ph.D.
"We now have the ability to manufacture large quantities of an important cell type that is necessary to prevent hypoglycemia and regulate blood glucose in patients with diabetes. Generating pancreatic cell types from renewable sources holds promise for cell replacement therapies for diabetes," says Dr. Peterson, principal investigator.
Alpha cells in the pancreas produce glucagon, which is released to correct low blood sugar levels. However, in diabetes these alpha cells become dysfunctional, leaving patients susceptible to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Left untreated, hypoglycemia can cause a patient to fall into a coma and die.
Biomanufacturing cells
The new cell product is human tissue derived from pluripotent stem cells, which have the capacity to self-renew and convert into alpha cells containing glucagon. When transplanted into animals, Dr. Peterson's team discovered, these cells defended against hypoglycemia. Researchers hope someday these biomanufactured cells could restore cell function lost to diabetes.
With capabilities from the Center for Regenerative Medicine, including the Center's Biotrust and the Center's Process Development Laboratory, Mayo Clinic has the ability to ramp up large scale manufacturing of cells right on site. Quality and regulatory teams are working on new standard operating procedures that provide the foundation for current Good Manufacturing Practices needed to comply with Food and Drug Administration regulations. That could eventually pave the way for clinical trials geared toward exploring the safety and effectiveness of manufactured cells as a treatment for Type 1 diabetes.
"If successfully introduced into clinical use, these cells could dramatically change patient care for diabetes. Rather than rely on routine blood checks to prevent hypoglycemia and emergency room interventions to treat severe hypoglycemia, in the future, patients may be able to receive a transplant of living medicine that will both monitor blood glucose levels and administer corrective doses of glucagon," says Dr. Peterson.
Dr. Peterson estimates that the first test of these cells in human clinical trials could take place by 2022.
This work was supported in part by benefactor gifts to the Mayo Clinic Center for Regenerative Medicine, including the Stephen and Barbara Slaggie Family, J.W. Kieckhefer Foundation and the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation. Colleagues at Harvard University and University of Gothenburg participated in this study.

In other collections of essays, Stephan Kuttner dealt with the development of canon law in the two centuries that followed the publication of Gratian's Decretum, and the ideas that this engendered; here he is concerned with the foundations upon which all these later efforts were based. The work of Gratian is, of course, the principal focus, but the studies then follow the spread of the teaching of law, from its inception at Bologna in the 1140s to its appearance soon after in other centres of learning in the West especially in France, in the Anglo-Norman schools and in Germany. With a quarter of the volume consisting of additional notes and extensive indexes, it makes a contribution of the greatest importance to the historical study of canon law. For this second edition, a new section of additional notes has been supplied, and the volume is introduced with an essay by Peter Landau; these take account of the important recent work on Gratian and the Decretum and chart the significance of Stephan Kuttner's work.

5 December 2022 - ANCIENT TOLLUND MAN PRESERVED IN BOG
ANCIENT TOLLUND MAN
PRESERVED IN BOG
An Iron Age "bog person" has been preserved for over 2,300 years.
The story of Tollund Man is like that of many of the other "bog people" discovered in the peat bogs of Northern Europe. His remains were uncovered in 1950 by villagers in the town of Tollund, Denmark, who were gathering peat for fuel.
Initially his remarkable state of preservation led the villagers to believe they were viewing a recent murder victim and after much debate, the local police were called to investigate. Puzzled by the appearance of the remains, the police asked a scientist named P. V. Glob to come and view the discovery. Recognizing that this was an ancient burial, Glob began efforts to remove the body for further study.
Like all the "bog people," Tollund Man showed signs of a violent death. Nude but for a leather cap and wide belt around his waist, the body was discovered with a rope tightly wound around his neck. Later research was to reveal that this Iron Age man had been hanged in what is commonly thought now to be a ritual sacrifice.
Knowledge on how to best preserve discoveries like Tollund Man was not yet known in 1950 and only the head of the original specimen was kept intact. The rest of the body was subjected to various tests to determine his probable age - 40 - and the conditions surrounding his life and death.
Tollund Man's body was reconstructed for the exhibit which now resides at the Silkeborg Museum in Denmark. The detail evident in his face is remarkable. Stubble on his chin, eyelashes, and the wrinkles in his skin are all exceptionally well preserved. The rope used to end his life still lies wrapped around his throat and visitors can peer into the almost peaceful visage of this victim of ancient violence.

Women who wear make-up are more likely to be employed than those who opt for a natural look, a survey revealed.
MORE than two thirds of British Bosses said they would be less likely to employ a female job applicant if she didn't wear make-up at interview.
The survey also showed that 49 percent of bosses said it would be a major factor if the job was in sales or was a public-facing role in the company.
Figures were similar for promotion prospects with 60.8 percent of company executives saying that if female staff members didn't wear cosmetics on a regular basis it would have a detrimental effect.
Emma Leslie, beauty editor at escentual.com, who conducted the research, said: 'Whether rightly or wrongly, British bosses clearly think that keeping up appearances at work is an important factor for female staff if they want to get on in their career.
'It's also quite startling to learn that women feel that they need make-up in order to impress at work, and our survey showed there is a strong psychological element to wearing make-up that makes women feel more poised, confident and 'put together'.
No surprises to discover, then, that the company telling women they need to wear make-up to be taken seriously are a company who sell make-up.

A make-up bag can be among a woman's most precious belongings.
So perhaps it is no surprise that the average value of its contents is a rather expensive £172.
A survey of more than 2,000 customers of beauty retailer Escentual.com found that a make-up bag and contents were often the single most expensive item that many women took out of the house with them.
Who were the company who figured out that women spend a lot of money on make-up? That would be make-up retailer Ecsentual, who make money from women spending a lot on make-up.
A new survey reveals British women keep hold of their make-up products for six years after they go off – behaviour that could potentially be a ticking health time bomb.
Many Brits are holding onto their make-up treasures much longer than the use-by date, exposing them to toxins and bacteria, which lead to unnecessary breakouts and risk of eye infections.
Eyeshadow was revealed as the item that spends the longest time languishing at the bottom of make-up bags, with women keeping hold of them for seven years – nearly six years too long.
The real tragedy to Ecsentual's research is that it comes just too late for the poor hapless male, who may have been tempted to venture into the make-up market just weeks before these remarkable findings came out, in buying their partners gifts for Christmas.
Nine out of ten British women will receive beauty products from loved ones this Christmas – but a jaw-dropping £676million worth will never be used, according to a poll.
The average British woman will throw away two Christmas beauty gifts, worth an average of £26, according to new research by teeth-whitening brand Blanx.
If only British men had the advice of cosmetics firm Blanx before Christmas, just imagine how many comsetic products could have been spared the January bins! Think of the lipsticks, oh God won't someone please think of the lipsticks!

Abney Park Cemetery is very different in character to the other 'magnificent seven' London cemeteries. Originally conceived as an arboretum, is now so overgrown that it is difficult to find any specific grave without help from the trust's volunteers and a good pair of pruners. Today it is a quiet wildlife refuge in a heavily built-up part of London, and a very large number of the headstones and memorials survive in good condition, if not a little overgrown.
Abney Park Cemetery extends over 32 acres and for 150 years the site was the grounds of two large 17th century houses: Fleetwood House and Abney House. The name Abney comes from Lady Abney who inherited the Manor of Stoke Newington in the early 1700s. The cemetery was opened in 1840 by a group of trustees whose aim was to give everyone a last resting place, whether of the Anglican faith or not. To this end, Abney Park has never been consecrated. In this way it was a continuation of the principles of Bunhill Fields, which closed the same year. In its peak, Abney Park had up to 20,000 burials a year.
The original arboretum concept fell to more commercial pressures when the Abney Park Cemetery Company took over the cemetery in 1881, later adding Chingford Mount (1883), Greenford Park and Hendon Park (1899) to their portfolio. In time even these companies were to fail as the cemeteries began to fill in the 20th century, and maintenance was reduced to minimal proportions. During the 1950s groups of 'common graves' were dug along some of the main paths and driveways, but this too was a dwindling resource and the Company collapsed. In January 1979, ownership of Abney Park passed to the London Borough of Hackney for the sum of £1.
The years of neglect were in fact beneficial to preserving a woodland environment that could have been lost as in some other cemeteries. Still owned by the council, the cemetery is leased to the Abney Park Cemetery Trust. In total there are over 200,00 recorded burials and an online index is available, but the Trust office needs to be contacted to establish an exact grave position, for which a modest fee is payable. The full story of the Cemetery can be found in a book 'A Guide to Abney Park Cemetery' by Paul Joyce, also available from the Trust.
Many thanks go to Anna and Steve of the Abney Park Trust for their invaluable assistance in seeking out these graves.


I am really disappointed. No, not in the polish, but of how I couldn't really capture how beautiful this polish really is. I loooooove it. And it is completely appropriate for today being Independence Day in the US! Happy 4th of July to my fellow American readers! Royal Navy comes from the Orly In the Navy Collection and it's the only polish I bought from the collection. It has a jelly-like consistency, but it only needed 2 coats to be opaque. Please ignore the visible nail line because I couldn't see it in real life. The picture just really picked up the light beneath my nail. I just love the aqua shimmer in this one. It is much more visible in real life as well. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do. You can find these polishes from online e-tailers as well as from Sally's Beauty Supply.
Do you mean it's actually more beautiful in real life? More beautiful than in the photos? Dang, it must be freakin' gorgeous! Maybe Sally's will have these on clearance tomorrow....hmmmmm.
I have this on today as well. Part of my July 4th mani. I think this is now in my top five fav. blues. Love it!
This is on my MUST GET list, every photo of it is so gorgeous. It's a stunner!
Ali- What an awesome mani you have today! Glad you love it!
Nicole- If you like it, check Sally's, Transdesign, or Victoria's Nail Supply. Are you in the US?
Moer beautiful irl???? Then I'm going to see where I can buy this and get it shipped to Europe right now!!!
